Since I was little my favorite song was Fuel from there 1997 album, Reload, which was a spin off of ther 1996 album, Load. My favorite album would have to be there 1984 album Ride the
Lightning though because out of all of there albums i can sing every song on Ride the Lightning by heart. Metallica may have disappointed some of there fans by going biblicle with there self titled album, better known as The Black Album, but they only got better for me. I love all of there music, even there less then loved colab album with Lou Reed.
Metallica may also get a bad reputation from what happened with there Bassist, Jason
Newsted. Jason replaced there late Bassist Clifford Lee Burton, who passed in a tour bus accident. Jason had decided that along with being the bassist of Metallica that he would also have a side project. But James, Lars, and Kirk said its us or them and Jason chose them. Lars still gets crap for "Kicking Jason out" but simply put, Jason left. I respect both of there desicions as well because it makes them who they are today.
I remember when i was really little, i was in my Nee's Oldsmobile with my Dad and we were listening to Metallica. I was 3 or 4 at the time but man I couldnt keep myself from rockin out!
My dad thought I was the coolest thing ever and it made me so happy that i got attached to
Metallica and many other bands since then. Being with my dad and listening to Metallica is James Hetfield yet, or i havent met Lars and Kirk, I still feel like they are part of me and who i am. They mean so much to me but they dont even know it. but
