When I was hurt during the gulf war, laying in a hospital not being able to see (shrapnel to the eyes) my buddy gave me his cd player with some Metallica cd's and I listened to them over and over for weeks on end. That was the first introduction to Metallica and I've been a fan ever since. I love Master of Puppets, and to this day, when I hear that song, I stop what I'm doing and go back to 1992 and just reminice of laying in the hospital, blind, and in a foriegn land, not speaking the language and rocking out in my head.

Dude, A) Thank you, from the bottom of my heart B) That is seriously a story they should know about. They got me through Algebra and Trig in 1983, they obviously got you though so much more... let 'em know.They're humans too.

Unless you count Rush. they were bad *** in the early 80s

I vote for Justice... this was the time when they had fully honed their skills as writers and musicians and before they went commercial/gay
 
Metallica "Sensitive Sides"... featuring "If you had both legs would you dance with me", and their stirring rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Heavy Metal was Never Heavier or more heartfelt.
 
My favourite is RIDE THE LIGHTNING, But I just recently replaced my VERY SCRATCHED copy of the "BLACK ALBUM". And I was reminded what an IMPORTANT ALBUM it was. The "BLACK ALBUM', and Nirvana's "NEVERMIND" came out at basically the same time. GRUNGE was huge, and Metallica managed to stay SIGNIFICANT because the "BLACK ALBUM" could not be ignored.
 
Metallica and Jenna Jameson with Ron Jeremy featuring Wendy Whoppers on "Climb the Mountains and see the Valleys".

Good point. I saw Metallica on the Black tour. It was during the definitive transition into grunge. However, Nevermind became a cultural icon.

During those times I thought Alice in Chains closed the gap between heavy metal and grunge quite well.
 
Nice to put AIC in perspective.

I was getting into AIC, Nine Inch Nails, and Ministry at the time...

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.........
 
Soundgarden latest album "King Animal" (Nov 2012) is definitely worth checking out!
