In my opinion that sets the standard even HIGHER than other bands, and my opinion they should have thrown in the towel a decade ago and left the world with a good taste in it's mouth.

And please don't question what I do musically, I have nothing to prove. I am a lead guitar player, to answer your question. And not that I really care but (again, cause you called me out) I can play the majority of Metallica songs, I havn't for years but that's all I did when I was 14 years old....

I view music objectively not sentimentally, when a band I love makes music that I hate, I have no problem mentioning it.
yea, come to think of it, I did kind of attack you on this... didn't mean to.. I am the same way, I don't bow down to any group just because of names... I like plenty of songs, not albums by many groups... plenty of Metallica songs I don't care too much for...like I said I don't listen to any of the new stuff... biggest part that bugged me on this thread is how everyone is calling a band like that scrubs in their own way... but, to eaches own...

I don't think Metallica has ever been considered a musicians band like Rush, etc...
