Master of Puppets had some hints of commercialism but they truly went down after Black.

What a homosexual thing to say.

The decline started after the Black Album, but their lowest point is definitely LuLu. What a piece of shit.

Songs like Orion hint towards going to the mainstream, when did I say it was a bad thing? When they added ballads they were clearly going for that angle.

Bob Rock broke my heart. Made a live band into a studio ****.....I.....I...

Metallica died in a bus crash!

Don't nobody talk shit about Metallica. They've had some ups and downs. So has every band. St. Anger being a major "down." And yeah, LuLu is godawful. But they're still legends and one of my favorite bands. I can't believe people don't like the Black Album. I mean, f#ck, yeah Enter Sandman has been over played for sure. But the album is fantastic. And the newest Hardwired... is great, too. Some of the songs actually remind me of the Black Album.

Everything after Ride the Lightning is mainstream.

That's crazy talk. You mean to say that Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All are mainstream? No way. I would say that probably Black Album and beyond were more mainstream.

Their only arguably 'bad' albums, though, are St. Anger, LuLu, and maybe some of Re-Load. But I don't really count LuLu, though, because it was more of an experiment. An experiment gone horribly wrong, lol, but just an experiment none-the-less.

Both Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All have music videos on VH1.

Main fvcking stream.

They don't sound mainstream though. That was back when the mainstream was good.

When Load came out.

When they ran out of Dave Mustaine's riffs to use.

How is Master of Puppets not mainstream? It's the most famous song of one of the most famous metal bands of all time.

I've had mega fans tell Ride the Lightning was a sellout album.

Which makes the only "pure" Metallica what, KTA?

black album, when they sold their creative soul and let bob rock write their music.
