Best Metallica album ??

Saw Alice In Chains in 1993, and Metallica in the summer of 1994, ( Summer **** Tour). In Vancouver. Alice in Chains was actually supposed to play at the Metallica show as well. Layne Staley had just went into REHAB at the time, and James Hetfield talked a LOT OF **** about it onstage that day. That kind of bugged me. And yes, I do agree that A.I.C, and Soundgarden kind of BRIDGED THE GAP between Metallica, and Nirvana. I have always said that MY GENERATION "borrowed" Led Zeppelin from our parents, but that Nirvana, Metallica, A.I.C, etc, BELONGED TO US ! Thanks for Zeppelin, Dad ! And even better.......My 70 340 Swinger.........
