When bands are not mainstream,it is good. Reason why I love bands who are not popular. I sometimes listen Metallica in early ages and look their concerts. The Black album or Metalliaca was key moment of their downfall. Album was still good but not good as first four and Load,Reload,St.Anger sounds terribly. Kill 'em all my favorite by them. Newsted was good change for Burton. I can not belive how is time of such music past and became popular electronic music with DJ.

Yes,the first four albums Metallica did were great. However you can't hear Jason's Bass at all on the "And justice for all CD".Metallica was Jason's favourite group and he knew the songs so they asked him to join,but yeah Lars and James picked on him and he left because he wanted the right to play in a side project band but James stopped him from doing it - a move he found selfish.

The thing with Master of Puppets is, all those guys were only 24 when they made the CD. They all made this classic record and lost Cliff, due to very odd circumstances. Kirk and Cliff drew cards to whom would get the more comfortable bed on the bus and Cliff pulled the Ace of Spades (death tarot) and took the spot Kirk occupied for nights. That weirded Kirk out for good.

Cliff died at 24,and at 24 a bass genius some people can't get near today. He not only liked metal he loved bands like:-Misfits, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bach. The band only pulled a small quantity of workout of the Cliff bank that could have been excellent music.

I know all this story. I heard that "And justice for all" have some lack in sounds and it was Jason what I saw later. Lars is for me yet in old days really antipathetic. Today Metallica can not play their old songs on level as in past so it is just memory. Death Magnetic is bad try,James have different voice. For me, Metallica died in album Load, they hair cut themselves and became mainstream. In ages of 80-early 90. they will not be unforgiven.

I remember being in the store the day the black album was released and seeing metal heads screw up their faces in dissapointment as things went a different way.
1991 was when people kind of left metal for either grunge or Gangster rap.
The hardcore metal heads liked Sepultura or earlier death metal bands.

I can still stomach metallica , but yes a different band, than the Cliff era.
AC/DC is a different band now but no body can get close to Bon Scott era music. As far as Axl
Rose being involved. Forget it! Take Udo from Accept!
