Metallica was junk after And Justice For All album. Black album sucked nuts and everything else that followed. Metallica is like Apple. They give you a nice walled garden that you think is perfect even though it's not until you adventure out and find what's actually good. Kirk is a terrible live guitarist, he always screws up notes. His solos are repetitive and sound very similar. Robert is okay but he doesn't work well with thrash metal. He needs to go back to Black Label Society where be belongs. James can't sing for shit anymore, he blew out his voice because he never knew how to use proper technique in the first place. He's a great rhythm guitarist though. All their songs are tuned down a notch because his voice isn't what it used to be, and it's not because he's just been singing for a long time like everyone says. It's because he can't sing, period. Lars... don't get me started on one of the worst, boring, retarded drummers in the history of thrash metal.
