I listed off a bunch of bands that I thought were better than Metallica. All I hope to do with such posts is spread the word about bands that recieved less press due to the almight Metallica. Maybe if you listened to the bands I mentioned then you would see they werent sub-par, and maybe you'd actually like them. So maybe you should stop being so fucking narrow minded and accept that Metallica isnt the best band in the world....they certainly arent one of the best thrash bands.
And another thing, I dont try to make myself look smarter by listing bands that you've never heard of. I do it to present people with an opportunity to hear some of the great metal I've heard. It angers me when bands that I KNOW to be better, or at least on par with bands that recieve classic status. Most of those albums have no business being there.
So drop the inferiority complex and stop whining.
I have heard them, that is why I commented, if I hadn't then i wouldn't say anything. granted it was probably 16 to 20 years ago since I heard that stuff and it didn't impress me then and I am not still into it. Metallica did. I have been around awhile.
so Holy Terror thinks MoP its crap, yeah you know, it is, but its still a classic, you said MoP impressed you, me too, but 10 or 9 years ago(1 year after listening to MoP) when i first listened sodom - agent orange i realized metallica wasnt all that great, so for me agent is a classic. and a good one, i maybe have not heard all of the bands H_T mentioned but some of them deserve the Classic status (Taking Over,Fistful of Metal,Violence and Force) so is hall of the mountain king regardless of good H_T thinks it is.
Every now and then people seem to be fighting about metallica when the fact is many of their albums are classics, a couple of them are quite good,and the rest is pure crap,but no one can deny the mayor impact they had.
