Remember when Metallica didn't suck?

[Jessie]

Last night I was driving home from dropping some furniture in my storage unit, and I totally rocked out to For Whom the Bell Tolls on the factory 12-year-old Aerostar stereo system in my dad's van.

Sometimes I forget that back in the day, Metallica was really good.  I don't often get in the mood for hard music like that, but when I do, give me something from And Justice For All, Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning anyday.

I think that when they got their hair cut for the Black album, that the barber trimmed it a little too short and removed their testicles, too.

[Bennyhana]

actually, they still had their hair long for the black album.  It wasn't until Load that they cut their hair. 

[Jessie]

Hmm, I thought they got the new updated look then.  My mistake.  I guess their testicles just fell off on their own.

[Bennyhana]

Have you heard St. Anger?  I would say that the album doesn't lack balls. 

[Jessie]

Have you heard St. Anger?  I would say that the album doesn't lack balls. 

No, it just sucks balls.

[ignom]

Metallica has always sucked, and the video for Unforgiven used to freak me out.

[Alice]

No, no I don't.

Remember when Yanni didn't suck?

[Bennyhana]

No, no I don't.

Remember when Yanni didn't suck?

Yeah, even after I bought him dinner.  I was pissed.

[Youphoric]

Yeah, Metallica didn't cut until Load. 

I'll take post-cliff pre-load Metallica any day.

/loves the Newstead.

[Jessie]

Yeah, Metallica didn't cut until Load.

I used to think he was hot.

My friends dad looked a lot like James.

I got hooked on Metallica because I thought Lars looked like Kiefy.  I was distraught that he's actually a hemorrhoid.

I don't see it.

And yeah, he's always been a total dick.

I think you're the only person I have ever run across who says they prefer Jason to Cliff.  Which is probably one of the reasons he left the band.  It has to suck to still be living in the shadow of someone who died 15 years before.

[Gamplayerx]

Metallica has always sucked

What the Igster said.

No, no I don't.

Hahaha

Maybe he'd be more popular if he got squooshed by a bus.

It's a completely different playstyle.

Cliff was a bassist who played like a guitarist.
Jason was a bassist who...played like a bassist.

I like the low, melodic, pumping bass and not the style that Cliff had.

I see your point, though cliff used his fingers and Jason used a pick (which many bassists are vehemently against).  I would say that Jason is much more a musician than Cliff was, even though the band didn't really let him use that.

I remember reading interviews where Jason wanted to have more of a say into what kinds of songs they made, but Lars was smackin that down.

I also remember reading that's another reason why he left.

I thought it was Cliff and Norm.  Oh well.

[Beefy]

I was such a wuss back then and thought I'd get my ass kicked at a show like that.  I didn't really learn to appreciate bands like that till about '91.

You've never seen Cheers but you're the President of the Rue McClanahan fanclub?  I worry about your soul.

[Youphoric]

Nope.

Or BH 90210, I've seen 2 episodes of Friends, one survivor, three American Idol's  no Melrose place, no saved by the bell, no Taxi, no Dallas, three Sex and the City (but only because the boyf at the time was busy consoling his "girl whos a friend who he sleeps over with)

I haven't seen alot of TV.

[Alice]

But Youph, making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.

[DownSouth]

We used to have 90210 parties in college.

[Alice]

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

[Beefy]

We had women there.  How about you?

Oh ALice, I'm the president of the "Dumb one" fan club, not the "aging slut"

[Bennyhana]

I always thought that Betty White was hotter than Rue McClanahan anyway.

Betty White did play the slut on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

We should make our own Junto Golden Girls club.  So when 4 of us are old and not married, we'll have eachother to turn to.

I really don't think you'd have a problem finding a willing dude.

You're just picky, which is a good thing.

Only because I need to have had one to REALLY be a part of a GG club, most of thir stuff revolves around men.

You could do your own traveling pants club....

I just thought I'd reference that ridiculous looking movie.

[Gamplayerx]

I saw a game based on that movie.  Actually, it was a game based on the old game of concentration, which they changed from hearts and clovers and diamonds to pants because of the movie.

[ursus]

no

I only started listening to Metallica when they did the gig with the San Francisco Symphony.  I love that a lot.  I listen to it at work and get all amped and freaky.    My boss just rolls his eyes.
