Yeah, after Cliff died Metallica went to shit imo....they should have ditched Lars a long time ago.
And Justice for All....It was a good album, except they dicked Jason Newstead and turned him wayyy down, the remastered is alot better.
Been a Metallica fan all my life, and Megadeth has been a close second. I can definitely appreciate Metallica's entire album lineup, over Megadeth's career. But I've always respected Dave and he's been a damned trooper, never giving up. I will always wonder what happened between James/Lars and Dave in the early days of Metallica - as we should all know, the "winners" write the history. It's just entirely deflating to know that a band you've grown up with and music you've revered your whole life, has likely sold their souls to the devil, to become as big as they are.
If Cliff were still alive today, Metallica would be an entirely different band today. Maybe in another timeline......but not this one :(
Interestingly they always sold it as if Dave almost killed them all and that was why he was sacked - Cliff's own note from the back of the bus shows that the weather/roads were fucked anyway. Watch the Icons thing from Gibson, it's a nice chat with Dave imo.
Metallica needed to hang it up when Lars stopped doing massive amounts of coke. They're the perfect example of kicking a dead horse for well over 20 years.
People shit on the black album but it's one of the most well-produced rock albums in history.
Megadeth has always had superior musicianship.
