I remember creating whole history of Metallica before but meh, people are into WW3 more theses days.
I don't know, there's something powerful in those guys giving them ability to write so good songs, so good melodies... I hate when people see Metallica wrongly as, some random metal-punk-rock-trash-thefuckdude-band due their first three albums ( Where they barely had a ballad ( Fade to black and ...I think that's all)). But then when you take a look at their newer albums you can notice more relaxing songs( And yes, they are goddamn awesome). But meh, there are those dickheads saying "Oh damn, I thought I came to Metallica's concert". Talking about concert, they are coming to Serbia on 8th May, I'm not going, don't ask why. The only thing that kinda.. gives me a sad face about those guys is their loss in 1986. No one had bass solos like Cliff, just listening of Anesthesia , Pulling teeth, gives me chills and shivers, not to mention Orion.
Honestly, I heard of Apocalyptica due their covers of Metallica. I respect when people create their OWN kind of music on their own way. Just look at what instruments they are using. xD
Tbh I barely know any author songs they created, just basically listened to their covers.
