A friend of mine sent this to me, originally found on Fark:
Metallica Likes Bargains
I am still laughing. Maybe you had to be 15 when …And Justice for All came out.
And also too, did you know someone has actually started a Facebook page for The Electric Church? And that I have nothing to do with it? It stuns me. The Always Minty Fresh Jeof Vita sent me the link. I’ve been resisting Facebook for a long time, but I suppose i will have to join now. . .if only to friend my own damn book.
Hey – let’s all join this Facebook page and MAKE IT INTO THE MIGHTIEST FACEBOOK PAGE EVAR, BEFORE WHICH ALL OTHER FACEBOOK PAGES BOW IN TERROR. Or, you know, post pictures and stuff.
That’s one great photo.
Cliff Burton certainly bowed out at the right time.
Kill ‘Em All – Hurrah!
Ride The Lightinng – Huzzah!
Master of Puppets – Yip Yip!
…And Justice For All – Bravo! Except you forgot the bass
Then opinion divides.
Either:
a) Black Album – Good Effort, or
b) Everything else they ever did was an abomination.
I tend to go with b).
How a band could be responsible for both creating and destroying a genre will puzzle musicologists FOR EVA
Plus – and a greater sin – Hetfield can’t hold his liquor.
Mistah Diamat,
I tend to agree with you on option “B”, though there are weaker moments when I’ll admit to actually liking a bit of The Black Album (I recently found this

and think it’s genius).
My fave Metallica effort remains “The $5.98 E.P.”, possibly because they didn’t actually write the songs, or possibly because “I got Somethin’ to say / I killed your baby today” remains the greatest opening lyric of any song, ever.
