80's Metallica
>Metallica/Megadeth>
Metallica always sucked and their lyrics are embarrassing edgy PG shit. Slayer mogs everyone in your ratings, but Megadeth deserves some credit.
>Metallica always sucked
they deserve all the credit for their first four albums
>Slayer mogs everyone
agree, tbh extremely underrated
>Megadeth deserves some credit
yeah, but they sucked from after symphony up until Dystopia
t. monkeypox carrier
contrarian Cinemaphile at its finest
based takes. Cliff was what made metallica great, much like Mustaine is clearly the impetus behind Megadeth but atleast he's learned to surround himself with competent musicians and be less of a douche because he's faced consequences for his actions.
Lars and James just never coped with Cliff's death and created an echo chamber and made exactly 1 decent album without Cliff.
Slayer's kicked ass since day 1, no two ways about it. Show no Mercy might just be my favorite album from them to this very day
Slayer have a few great songs and tons of shite
I disregard opinions like this. As MJK would say, you guys are "yuppies who speak when not spoken to"
good thing I can disregard you too you fricking Black person
If you are listenning past Reign In Blood, sure maybe. Haunting the chapel is literal extreme metal perfection.
Kill Em All easily the best Metallica album and I git tired of pretending otherwise years ago. Still I would prefer Peace Sells and Rust In Peace over it, matter of preference bud
>Haunting the chapel is literal extreme metal perfection.
Not that anon, but I never gave Slayer much of a chance because I hated everything I heard on "Reign in Blood" other than "Raining Blood" and "Angel of Death".
Just gave "Haunting the Chapel" a listen and it fricking rules. Thanks for the rec, dude. Legit.
That's like 9/10ths of all Cinemaphile posts or really internet commentary in general
There was one famous man who once said "The majority of internet posts are akin to bathroom stall graffiti"
>. As MJK would say, you guys are "yuppies
Says the wine drinking yuppie Black person too chickenshit to break up the band he's in because it's obvious you hate each other.
Kill 'Em All is the best album ever made, go suck a wiener
Go frick yourself. Metallica fricking killed it all the way up to the black album before Bob wienersucking Rock ruined their sound by telling Kirk to use a wah pedal on everything and telling hetfield he could sing. Lars was always a shit drummer.
James was a decent singer until he got old and blew his voice out
Agree but it wasn't until Bob rock came along that hetfield started his "YEAH YEAH" and "WHOAOA" bullshit.
?t=45
?t=65
Literally the first song on their first album
Okay. So? If you think that sounds remotely anything like hetfields vocals on the black album you're a blithering idiot. Hell, just listen to the difference between his sound on justice. He sounds awful from black album on.
>watch that early 80s concert with Dave. James really sucked at singing. It wouldn't surprise me if they used some light autotune to make him sound more on pitch
>metallica sucks
Post st anger sure.
>slayer mo-
Stopped reading there, slayer is literally babby's first edgy metal band, kerry fricking sucks and jeff literally carried the band with this guitar work. Even then slayer was always mediocre as frick.
You have to be in a very particular mood for Slayer, but they definitely scratch that itch when you have it
>#AndJusticeForJason
Based. The version of Blackened that restores the original bassline is the best metallica song hands down.
Slayer is actual garbage and proof that metalgays are some of the biggest morons on the planet
Where does Iron Maiden fit into the picture
All the bands he named are thrash/speedmetal bands. Iron Maiden isn't the same vibe
That guy listed two thrash metal groups
Iron Maiden is more in line with the hair metal bands of the 80's.. like DIO and what not.
Oh.. iron maiden wasn't in the same category as DIO?
Alright numbskull.
You know full well that calling Dio and Iron Maiden 'hair metal' is an inflammatory statement
They're heavier, less fruity than the typical hair metal band.. but the basic blueprint is there.
Thrash metal was faster and higher test. It was enough to start a new sub genre.
>Thrash metal was faster and higher test
Thrash metal was a bunch of greasy losers hanging around San Francisco because the hair metal guys were getting all the pussy in LA
Lemmy was getting more pussy than every glammed up dweeb in LA combined and he practically invented Thrash.
Thrash metal always seemed really sloppy to me and actually possibly lower test. I think your greasy loser thing checks out.
Good to see you have half a brain, playing really fast and shouting crudely written lyrics about politics, war and society doesn't automatically make you high test. The glam bands of the 80s sang about shit they were actually doing, Nikki Sixx was literally medically dead from an overdose for a few seconds, then went right back to partying after he was resuscitated
You're probably right but that's beside the point.
But I'm pretty sure you are right, 100%.
I mean that rage and pent up aggression from not getting pussy, losing out to a bunch of spandex queers wearing hairspray and make-up.. it all came out through their music.
And it stuck. That's why they had beef with Guns and Roses. It reminded them of the guys who were getting laid while they were left out.. to drink by themselves and act aggressive. Like wild bachelor males in nature, on the outside looking in, posturing and fighting, trampling plants and pissing over everything.
Yeah.. they're kinda fruity.
And by kinda I mean alot.
The spandex of the early years was a bit cringe, but there's still no big teased hair here
I hate Steve Harris style of bass playing, always following the melodies. He's good, but I just want to hear low-end throughout the whole song...boring as hell to play, but the end result is worth it on a good stereo. Like what Ian Hill does in Judas Priest.
Iron Maiden is part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) which fits in with acts like Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Saxon, Motorhead and even Def Leppard, oddly.
This.. with those bands I completely forgot about and didn't care to recollect.
Maidens music often sounds pretty thrashy/speedmetal if not for Bruces opera-ish vocals
Megadeth beats metallica.. and slayer is ass. Slayer being good is a meme. Like how people would buy Corona beer and pretend they don't notice the overpowering disgusting aftertast.
But they swallow it down anyway.
Seriously and honestly why did anyone ever like Slayer without being moronic.
Replace Megadeth with Slayer and correct.
Jewthrax is not part of the four. They aren't from California and the didn't have a 1986 album.
'tallicabros..

Huh, I wonder what happened.
She sucked Dave Mustaine off behind the Circle K. My friend Billy's brother was there
She saw Ellefson blow his payload a mile high.
I always thought he was nice and well mannered in contrast to mustaine at least
He likely is. How else do you think
happened?
Watch him trade up to a newer woman.. I mean younger woman.
They're also going to be making a new album.. to pay for the alimony.
Lol
xD
The true greats, in no particular order:
Slayer - Has the most great albums, the most enduring and recognizable sound. Lacks legendary singles, but that's not what metal is about. Their attitude and punk kitsch defines the genre.
Metallica: The innovators and champions of melodic thrash. Only Lightning is a true classic among their albums (MoP is good but overrated). All of their first five are near-classics. Even their 'bad' albums have excellent singles and would have been well-liked if edited down a bit and published as side projects instead of using the Metallica name. Metallica are the best songwriters of the thrash greats.
Pantera: All five of their albums are objectively near-classics (no, the pre-Anselmo stuff was not the same band). Their version of groove metal is mixed heavily with thrash, and groove itself is an evolution of thrash, so shut up about genre. Their catalog includes both lighter and more brutal albums than average in the genre. Pantera is the reason thrash still loves on in its influences on other metal genres.
I don't think Megadeth or especially Anthrax did anything special that lesser-known bands like Testament and Exodus didn't also do. Sepultura is the best of all the lower-tier thrash bands in my personal opinion. After we are all dead, the three bands I listed above will still be known by some, but Megadeth et al will be footnotes.
Pic related is my personal #1 thrash album.
I've never heard a less memorable vocalist than tom araya.
You need to listen to more thrash metal, it's full of generic bands that all sound the same, Slayer and Araya stand out
>listen to more shit so other shit can stand out as being less shit.
No. I don't think I will.
That's how I feel about Mustaine. Araya has a fierce young sort of voice that really works well for thrash.
>Megadeth will be footnotes
Frick off, Lars
moron
Lmao i know people hate Lars but I fricking love how pretentious he is. There's something about it that's almost like stand up comedy, it's so fricking funny
Lars' personality makes so much more sense when you find out he was a rich kid with a famous dad back in Denmark
Mustaine’s imitation of Lars is all I ever hear when I see OP’s pasta float around. That little bat nosed frick is hilariously vacant.
Why did Metallica make and release this film? Did they not realize how badly they come across??
>Why did Metallica make and release this film?
>Did they not realize how badly they come across??
good question; the band (especially hetfield) was pissed off about the filming and wanted to end it but then the filmmakers did something genius by putting together a little, pleasant 20 minute preview that made james/metallica look good and the band bought it hook line and sinker
Why is Metallica so much more popular than all the other 3? Metallica is like Beatles tier popular. While Slayer is only known to fat old metalheads
Spicy hot zoomer take.
Seething
Metallica = dad rock
Megadeh = dad rock but worse
Slayer = homosexuals
Anthrax = Black folk
Surprisingly accurate
fr we bussin to lil niggy instead tho xD
>Anthrax = israelites
ftfy
>Metallica is like Beatles tier popular.
Lol what who the frick listens to Metallica they peaked in the 90s metal was never popular with normies. MC Hammer and Vanilla ice were bigger than Metallica.
MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice aren't still selling out stadiums wherever they go
If we're by that metric then Kiss is the greatest bad ever then.
I never said anything about quality, you were only discussing popularity. Metallica are objectively still very popular, regardless of the quality of their music, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice aren't
I really think the name helped them out a lot. Their name is basically "Metal Band" so they represent the genre itself which is v strong branding
The name is catchy but it doesn't mean anything if it's not backed up with cool songs.
Would you think a group called Baby-Metal is good?
And yet they own the all other metal bands on the market.
My wives.
>Would you think a group called Baby-Metal is good?
No, but their name is literally advertising what they are
Metallica were the first to release an album, so they had a head start. Their first 5 albums also have objectively better songwriting
>inb4 Megadave fanbois screeching
Even if Megadeth wrote better songs, Dave's god awful vocals would kill any chance of them being bigger than Metallica, James actually learned how to sing around the time Master of Puppets came out
You do know that Mustain basically wrote Metallicas first two albums pretty much, right?
I guess the credits aren't included in those downloaded mp3's you get for free huh.
He wrote my favourite song on Kill em All, the 4 horsemen, so I love him for that, and he only has credits on 2/8 songs on Ride. Also has no credits on Puppets, which is better than both the previous albums
The point is - they wouldn't have survived that long to make Puppets if it wasn't for his influence.
I've said it before, Mustaine was Metallicas Brian Jones.
Metallica got to number one without radio play. By the time the first 4 albums came out, they had reached a legendary status and huge following. When the 'Black' album got released, it changed their sound dramatically but it also broadened the audience by including power ballads like "Nothing Else Matters" for the chicks at the shows and inevitably, your little sister is asking to borrow your Metallica tape.
Was Lars drumming badly on purpose just to be a dick? There was no way he thought this beat was any good
Was this during St. Anger? St. Anger is too much fricking Lars PERIOD. Half the songs just sounds like him whacking a fricking mail box.
>FRANTIC NIG NIG NIG NIG NIG NOG
I AM MADLY IN ANGER WITH YOU!
The face of a sociopath who just lost control over someone
>BRO CLIFF IS LIKE THE BEST BASSIST EVER HES SO ORIGINAL AND A GENIUS
Dude was mediocre. The epitome of the failed guitarist who picked up the bass but kept using his guitar distortion pedal and doing hammer on pull offs and up your own ass guitar techniques. His intro to whom the bell tolls is pretty good. But Trujillo upgraded it. People jizz over Orion but I remember hearing it the first time in the middle of the song when things change that wtf I basically came up with the same shit my first few months playing bass. Just put 3 fingers in a chord and go up and down the neck. It's crazy how martyred he became.
I don't think anyone considers Cliff a virtuoso or anything like that except diehard Metallica fans
Cliff's value wasn't in his bass playing proficiency, he was obviously one of the main creative forces in the band, their sound changed drastically after he died. It's pretty telling that Metallica turned into a full on butt rock band once they ran out of material written by Mustaine and Burton
Burton actually didn't write much
It should be called St Kirk because that man has a saintly patience
>St Kirk
The Hammer I grew up with would be laughing at this. Never the less you are correct. While the rest of the band meltdown, the Kirk abides.
Kirk isn't patient, he's just a complete beta male who's fine with James and Lars controlling the situation at all times
I always laugh when I see 'The Big 4' being used, as if Anthrax are anywhere near the level of the other 3
Big 4 has always been a meme.
I agree with Anthrax being the overall worst but I prefer pic related to anything Megadeth or post-Burton Metallica have made. Not really thrash by this point though.
For me it's
>Lead guitarist for arguably one of the most influential metal bands in the history of music
>Plays for 40 years
>Refuses to learn what a guitar scale is the entire time
>Retires
Slayer is the perfect band for King, because he can say that his chromatic wanking is meant to sound chaotic to fit the evil tone of the music
>single-handedly keeps B.C.Rich in business
Kerry is to guitar what Lars is to drums. You almost gotta respect the sheer arrogance that keeps them from doing some self-reflection. They genuinely think they're legit musicians
>thrash metal
Redundant ever since death metal evolved.
"""Hair Metal""" is such an ignorant, catch-all normie term for 80s metal, it's like calling all pterosaurs "pterodactyls." It's moron-tier and isn't an actual genre.
Imagine putting Bon Jovi on the same level as Megadeth. That's what """"Hair Metal"""" does.
George Lynch recording a guitar solo for a music video on an active volcano is more metal than anything any thrash band ever did
the concept of this Lars Ulrich toilet is so bizzare and dare I say... freaky, what if some had some bowel problems, bent to sit down and missed, all over the place, especially the crotch of the sculpted ulrich
*slowly mongs boomer metal*
When I think of Korn, I always remember that MTV show where they’re just ordering and eating Wienerschnitzel in their shitty tract housing. I imagine they are still doing this even now.
That's not limp bizkit.
the absolute worst
Look at them.
LOOK AT THEM.
I can't stop a laughing, and neither can you.
I took your advice. The lead singer has

>eyebrow ring
>dreadlocks
>sleeves rolled up on a muscleless arm to display his tattoo of a clown god laughing at Jesus?
>"BURWAHAHAHA EMA URGHHHHHHHHR AHAAHA!!!"

Their new drummer was such a game changer. Ray is fricking incredible. Same thing with Avenged Sevenfold.
My uncle claims he dated Newsted's ex-wife back in the 90s and got to hang out with the band once.
Said they were all chill, fun frickers to be around except for Lars. A neurotic little narcissist.
Got to drive Jason's red sports car in the Nothing Else Matters video, too.

It's weird. Metallica reached the dynasty level....selling out the football stadium in any country of the world. Very few can do that.
But the only thing people care about seeing them play is stuff from 1983 to the Black album, and many die-hard fans even hate the black album. They have been releasing material for 40 years and their own fans hate 33 years' worth of stuff.
Their early stuff was just that good. They peaked early and then dropped in quality but are rising back up. There two most recent albums are actually great but don't feel as raw and fast as the first album. I can listen through the entire Kill Em' All album just like I can with Dark Side of the Moon. It's an experience. With Master of Puppets I might skip one or two songs but MoP gets turned up when I'm listening to it. For Whom the Bell Tolls is another song that feels like an entire album experience on its own and might be my favourite Metalica song.
They have a lot of great songs from their first handful of albums and that is enough to fill a set list for a concert. Then they might fit 3 or 4 new songs in.
Their 80's music is the best but I find the 90's to be their most interesting period. I just wish that who era was thoroughly documented fly on the wall style.
If you haven't already, listen to Spit Out The Bone. Metallica is back, baby
Always preferred Maiden anyway
