slayer - crazy train

[hamstershaver]

You're older than me, so I never really heard of Metallica until Justice-era. That's when they got 'popular' and their first hit (?) single. I was born in 1980, so I look at that era a bit differently than someone who went through it during their teenage or older years. I definitely see where you're coming from, though.

Metal was such a different entity in the 80's, lol. I never heard of stuff like Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Venom, Bathory or any other big-name metal band back then. It was Metallica = metal, and Slayer was that satanic super-heavy band that one had to hide from their parents, lol.

yeah me and you are exactly 10yrs apart in age, as you know we share the same b day
i grew up on ride the lightning and master of puppets, hell by the time justice came out i was out of highschool

Damn...same here. But I listened to all kinds of shit though....but damn, the Metallica similarities are pretty weird. I listened to Fade To Black over and over...For Whom The Bell Tolls....Call of Katulu. Dave Mustaine played on that one. Got canned before Puppets though.

Ride the Lightning remains Metallica's undisputed best album of all time. (Me and a friend still argue this point a decade later, lol. He thinks Master is their greatest work, and I maintain Ride as their best.) Just listening to the opening solo to Trapped Under Ice shows their metal/thrash superiority to the perhaps more 'mature', yet musically inferior Master of Puppets.

i know mustaine was in metallica in the very early years but i thought he was gone by the time kill em all came out and hammett took his place
i dont even think there is a pic of him in that album, although he is credited with writing a few songs from that album and maybe even a few on ride the lightning (i think)
it ended up being a good thing, since i loved megadeth too

From what I remember, James couldn't master the rythem guitar for the song Ride the Lightning, so they had Dave come back to do it. Megadeth is another supreme band that changed style like Metallica. Although the U.S. Metallica and Europe Paradise Lost analogy is, in my opinion, the strongest and most interesting.
