Who's the biggest Metallica fan out there?

Did a huge amount of Metallica covers in my old band and still listen to it in the scoob whilst "hurrying" along my favorite roads.

Awesome structure to the songs and a song for every mood from slow ballads to in yer face thrash

Mikey

Dispite alot of other people opinions I really liked Their S&M album. Many people preach about the "Master of Puppets" being the be-all and end-all of Metallica rock, however I prefer their Black album, now, if only it had Memory Remains on it, that would be perfect!
Have you heard who they've got in to replace Newsted? I'll wait for the album to see if they realy do 'Gel' as much as Lars says they do.

Garage Days revisited.
Went downhill from there
In all honesty though, what a class act.

Joolz

Is that video or DVD still available of them recording the tracks for the black album ?

I had it on video but have lost it now.

Funniest moment was Bob Rock the producer was slagging Kirk's playing !

Daz

I've got Cunning Stunts on DVD ,that's pretty damn good! It's weird as I got used to the version of So What on Garage Inc, and the version on that has mostly different lyrics.
Interesting to hear an early 'demo' version of Memory Remains as well.

Got ACDC's "Back in Black" CD in the car at the moment:

1) You Shook Me All Night Long - great song to drive home to on a Friday evening.

2) Hells Bells - great song to drive to work on a Monday morning.

Highway to hell still gets me 'going'

Nice one Tel boy the band i have seen more than any other and one of the best live acts around.
I have just one big regret though that i missed out on seeing them with Bon Scott when they played at Derby Assembly rooms when iwas only 16 and didnt have the money to go

Highway to Hell & Back in Black both regular cd's in the car.
Honnnneeeeyyyyy whadda ya dooo for mooonnnneeeeeyyyyy

Thought I was a dyin' breed

Mikey

try some of the old Albert productions albums like Powerage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,TNT, and High Voltage.
They are pure rock and and blues at times and show how good a vocalist Bon Scott was.

you certainly aint Mikey was never a great fan of Thrash in fact i never liked the term Heavy Metal (what was wrong with Heavy Rock).

I Didnt even like Mettalica at all till they brought out the Black album and then i saw them Twice when they toured What a show that was!!!!.

I lived and breathed Donnington Rock festival and Ive got the T shirts to prove it (which of course no longer fit).

ps why arent you out selling copiers

Anyone remember the following:

Dio?

Magnum?

Or Saxon.

And of course the ultimate nutters.... Motorhead.

ahhhh that perrenial support band Magnum they warmed up for Motorhead at Derby and i remeber them desperatley handing out freebies and autographs (which NO body wanted)at the interval while there was a huge crowd around Lemmy as he propped up the bar about 5 mins before going on.

[Edited by mattstant - 3/13/2003 4:56:02 PM]

oh and Saxon were always good for a laugh i always think of biff biford screaming out 747 at Donnington as guess what?? a 747 flew overhead (well it wasnt but it was a big **** off plane anyway)

oooh i could go on in this vein for hours.

how about Rush best band ever to come out of Canada

Another one with AC/DC "Back in Black" in the car

Opening riff to "You Shook Me All Night Long" takes some beating

TNT lol This is like a bleedin' time warp Brilliant

Gridlock played with Saxon a few years ago in the old angel in Derby (By the train station. Sure that's what it was called) Bowled up, unloaded the kit and the other Guitarist said " check that oot (He's Scottish ) Saxon are playing" Thought it was a cover band or summat but no sure enuff it was them Bloody long way from the Stage at Monsters of Rock.

Still cool though "...She used to be an Iron Horse, 20 years ago..........."

Mikey

Saw Iron Maiden TWICE in 2000 on the Metal 2000 tour, suppored by Halford (from Judas Priest fame), Slayer, and Entombed. What a show that was!
Got their 4 hours early and got guranteed tot he front of the mosh pit! My mate even touched hands with Bruce Dickinson.. as he was being carried over the barrier due to de-hydration
I came out of one of those gigs 1 stonne lighter due to the amount I sweated in the 'pit', long hair and eveything....ahhh...those were the days.

Anyone here into Def Leppard?

Gridlock

Will reply in full when I have the time mate but sheer quality and my old band did more metallica covers than anything else

'For whom the bell tolls' won the punters over every time

Regret the day I ever left to become an accountant

PS Not an accountant anymore I may add and will never forget the day in Newcastle when I sat and chatted with Lemmy and Co....
Phil was even wearing the leather trousers with the silver aces down the side..........

Check this out I've been 3 times to this festival in Germany.
It is Superb and lasts all weekend with 3 stages and the beer is cheap

Pink...

Yeah - used to like Leppard a lot up until they started that "Lets get rocked" stuff...

Saw them play "in the round" in Glasgow - laser show and the full works - excellent

**** me Mikey missed that gig by the skin of me teeth i remember seeing the adds for it and thinking it was a windup dont remenber why i missed out on it

seen Leppard 3 times once at sheffield arena where they got comprehensivley blown away by Terrorvision

It looks like the contributors to this thread like their rock! But who do you rate who has released an album in the last 2 years. (The only one I've bought is Iron Maiden - Brave NEw World)

like quite a few new ones linkin Park, Muse, Feeder.

the last AC/DC was absolutley dire played it once and nearly threw it away cant even remember what it was called

I'm a big Queensryche fan. I have plenty of metallic, ac/dc, whitesnake etc albums (love Coverdale - coolest dude!).

Favourite metallica album is the black album, fav whitesnake is 1987, fav ryche is 'operation:mindcrime' - immense album, favourite ac/dc is 'dirty deeds done dirt cheap'.
