>>130601982(OP) Both Traditional and Extreme metal from the 80s and 90s are great.
>>130601982(OP) >>130602642 listened to both. Keith Richards was right. metal sucks. no swing. just mindlessly playing some memorized riffs as fast as you can like a machine. that's not music.
tho I did sorta like when Metallica started to append slow parts to contrast with the speed metal parts starting with the masters of puppets link in another thread.
but (in general) i'll give them points for trying something different.

>>130602744 I was speaking on the title cut, ride the lightning. I just checked out the one you said and liked it.
I already knew that song tho. didn't know they did it that early in their career tho. that's basically just a classic rock song tho. I was speaking on just the basic genre of speed metal that I think Metallica focused on when they started out. but again, I generally liked their classic rock type songs when they started incorporating that in (tho i think it's a bit overrated (kinda unoriginal) because of their name and the loyal metallica fan base). I also (repeating) liked their stuff like "one" where'd they do a slow part to contrast with the speed metal part. I didn't know they started doing that earlier in their career during masters of puppets era.

>>130601982(OP) This is my go-to for Metallica. Their "unc status" is mostly confined to the 1990s and onward. I assure you–"non-Unc" individuals of age knew they were shit as soon as it happened.
