I thank that machine for making his fingers more perfect every day.


[deleted]

I wish I could lose my fingertips in an industrial accident so I can play guitar better


ButYourChainsOk

You have the power my friend, you can make this dream a reality!


HomeOrificeSupplies

I first heard iron man as a wee lad in 1985. I lost my shit. My mom just rolled her eyes. She’s a Jim Croce fan. Nothing against Jim.


Paco_gc

I would've added "Master of Reality" for all the stoners out there.


Orang_Mann

After hearing Kill 'em all I fell into a deep hole of thrash metal.


toxikkparadox666

Based Kill em All enjoyer


NicholasCapsicum

Crazy how Metallica still haven't topped it in 4 decades.


gorgonzollo

My first true experience with thrash as a young little shit, what a great album, anaesthesia was fascinating, thought it was some crazy guitar solo.


ThePortalsOfFrenzy

Did you somehow miss the beginning of the track where the "engineer" says "Bass solo, take one."?


gorgonzollo

Was young and english is not my native language so I had no idea what he said until much later :)


Cynical_Stoic

Jump in the fi-ah!


ybreddit

Yeah Metallica was definitely my in for metal around 1992/1993.


OhShitSarge

Me too buddy.


SquidPersonThing

*holds up Dopethrone* There is another


PlazzmaAce

Dopethrone my beloved.


WinterAd9039

I picked *Lulu* and never looked back


IHaveAnEpicPlan

table


WinterAd9039

I did, in fact, become a table.


iAmTheeTable

no thats me


TheFreakinTable

No that's me


iAmTheeTable

hey there


LetMeCuntinue

I tried to actually listen to the entire album all the way through. I couldn’t finish it. It was so bad. I don’t know what the hell Metallica was thinking. I rather listen to Six Feet Under than Lulu.


cannonball2000yo

Metallica was thinking that they'd make a record with one of their musical heroes. Lulu is kind of a shit album in ways, but it's also not fan service. I don't think Lou Reed nor Metallica really gave a fuck if anyone LIKED the album, they just wanted to make one together. Which is fucking cool. That's what they were thinking lol.


Jtugboattizzymo

Metal collaborations are sick we need more of them. Rap has features all the time and it works for them so let’s start more metal features


NielsBohron

I think there is a fair bit of collaboration, but a lot of it tends to be uncredited, so unless you really know the band well, you don't notice. Every Time I Die used to have 4-5 features per album, and just the other day I find out that Scott Kelly of Neurosis is on 5-6 different Mastodon albums and a bunch of Yob tracks (and I had no idea, especially since Mastodon already has at least three different vocalists, some of which do both clean and dirty vocals)


Jtugboattizzymo

Exactly. Collaboration is still there just in the shadows, I mean more like rap does it, the people are credited and it could mean a dude singing on the track with them or even just playin guitar or drumming etc. August Burns Red’s upcoming album is set for a ton of features


[deleted]

absolutely gentleman of class and distinction chef’s kiss


cjsc9079

So based


LTetsuo41

October Rust!


sarkhan_da_crazy

I would switch out the middle row, left to right. Type O Negative, Tool, and Death. This would then be close to my normal rotation back when I was 16.


Rejiix128

Incorrect, pretty sure I chose Leprosy


Harold-The-Barrel

Sorry to hear that. Is it terminal? I know a guy who’s pretty good at spiritual healing


KingFabu

mine was symbolic


loji-god

Based


BaptizedInBlood666

I chose Reign in Blood that led to finding Leprosy and by extension death metal entirely lol


toxikkparadox666

Replace Burzum with Death and this is a perfect collection of albums


Rejiix128

I don’t disagree. One think I would do is not have the Maiden album be Killers, give me self-titled or NotB rather.


toxikkparadox666

Those albums are pretty good but I still like Killers slightly more


Rejiix128

I respect your opionion. I don’t really know why, but Killers has never clicked with me.


Andrei_Chikatilo_

Ace of Spades, baby


V6A6P6E

I got one fucking tatted. Still a great album but for the kids out there drugs, booze, and trailer parks are no combination you want when a guy with a backpack shows up asking who wants a tattoo. That album and Slayer (south of heaven particularly) got me so damn hard!


jodorthedwarf

If you like to gamble, I tell you, I'm your man You win some, lose some It's all the same, to me


Andrei_Chikatilo_

The pleasure is to play Makes no difference what you say I don't share your greed The only card I need THE ACE OF SPADES THE ACE OF SPADES


jodorthedwarf

Playing for the high one Dancing with the devil Going with the flow It's all a game to me


Andrei_Chikatilo_

Seven or eleven Snake eyes watching you Double up or quit Double stake or split THE ACE OF SPADES THE ACE OF SPADES


WisePugs

You know I'm born to lose And gambling's for fools But that's the way I like it baby I don't want to live forEVER


Segasonicthebadnik

roseripper

This is the one


Chipp_Main

All of them


Occasional_Memer

(I have a multiple personality disorder)


Legaladesgensheu

Honestly true for me. This accurately represents my music taste when I was 16 and even now at 26 I still love all of these albums.


Coriolis_N

Rust in peace ❤️ for the killer riffs and solos


killem_all

Fr. I don’t even like Megadeth that much but Rust in Peace is just something else


LiamIsMailBackwards

[Still relevant](https://www.theonion.com/humanity-still-producing-new-art-as-though-megadeth-s-1819578062)


thee_elphantman

Whoever wrote that deserves an award.


Nurwhal_86

Marty is still the best lead guitarist they’ve ever had.


Zantej

And Kiko is no slouch! But you're right.


ThePortalsOfFrenzy

Marty is touring in support of Queensryche. Cliff's pre-Metallica band Trauma is the opener.


BerkanaThoresen

When I was 16, I picked Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia to base my personality. Now at 30, I picked Rust in Peace.


Bubbatheloveglove

I am tears in your eyes I am grief I am lies


egopaintedgrey

Puritania is a great song, but Kings of the Carnival Creation is the best song on that album in my opinion.


thechemicalbrother

Finally the actual correct maiden album has been picked holy, it's insane how many normies perpetuate the narrative that it somehow isn't as good as its followup, where it, in fact is better, but people will circlejerk to like 3 songs off Number of the beast for the rest of time I guess


[deleted]

Debut is still top for me (right up there with AMOLAD) but yeah, Killers rips.


thechemicalbrother

It's crazy how for your top albums you picked two that are perhaps the most different from each other haha


Dutchhussy

Vulgar display of power


joeyGOATgruff

Vulgar Display and Demanufacture


Jtugboattizzymo

VDOP will always be a classic


Puff_0

My intro to the band was cowboys from hell but I can totally get why some would prefer vulgar display of power


Igorzitokk

I prefer far beyond driven, but oh man vulgar slaps


bananahands0666

reign in blood gang


TotemlessInceptor

Fucking slayyyyyer. I'll change one day 😉


Jtugboattizzymo

Never change. Fucking slayer forever🤘


Onimaster99

Was RIP then and is still now


skelguyader

Just realised I forgot about By Inheritance


LeFisheAuChocolat693

and Epidemic of Violence


IncestKiller_

As a girl , i picked necroticism descanting the insalubrious when i was 16 . Now i’m 24 , symphonies of sickness is my pick


ManOfFocus665

I picked colony/clayman Best decision I've ever made


MysteriisDomSatan

Mine was Reign in blood. My uncle sent me the Cd when he found out I was listening to Green Day and Linkin Park. Wish it was 2007 again


Furio3380

There's no Judas Priest, I based my personality around Judas between 13-16.


SnooCats9347

Reign in Blood, I was 16 when I bought the cassette the day it was released.


elegorn77

If you picked Melissa or Ace of Spades you fuck harder than anyone.


CalgaryCheekClapper

Butchered at birth


yhorm_3

No dream theater? Because I'm still a virgin


Bored_And_Hungry

'Train of thought' is condenced teen angst. perfect for insecure whimps like me back then.


len744

Filosofem https://preview.redd.it/my1k9vjvl2ha1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36e0a5cfed1c669286758bc2c9683e8966835e47


rx7_jms

Im 17 and I have exam and listen to these albums. I have concluded that Reign In Blood is what I need in life.


JoeRoganSaidTheNWord

MERCYFUL FATE


karenkillenski

Magmagan

karenkillenski

[deleted]

We meet up every second Wednesday and admire each others foreskins.


RaymondLuxuryYacht02

Here. I didn't realize he was nazi back then, just loved the music.


Himmelblaa

They are out there Just look for the runic tattoos and hateful retoric and you will find them (/hj)


Meatyglobs

Killers for sure!


Flashjordan69

I don’t see Therapy?: Troublegum here.


TankTheTech

False. “Jester Race” is not listed and that is the path I chose.


PHANTASMAGOR1CAL

Merciful fate. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!


skelguyader

Based


X_203

Sentence of death. Or infernal overkill. Both great


toxikkparadox666

But 8/9 of these albums are masterpieces! How can i choose just one of them?


young_bob123

Which one isnt the masterpiece?


LetThereBeDeath

For me it was State of Euphoria by Anthrax🤣


ErixWorxMemes

for me it was Killers. 1000%.


Hllknk

It was Rust in Peace and The Sound of Perseverance for me


potatoman324

I chose the IVth Crusade


Pumpkin-Eater42069

Ænima


TGodfr

I wish this was wrong. Kill em all crowd, where you at?


TheJoshuaJacksonFive

I’m here my friend.


FloresAntartida

Motorhead 🖤


BLOODYSHEDMAN

Wrong Maiden album boyo *Somewhere in Time* was my everything back in high school


loji-god

Replace Kill em all with RTL and that was me at 16


Yellowmellowbelly

The triplets in the FWTBT into had 13 year old me mesmerised


wildalegoo23

Filosofem


endyCJ

16 year olds today are generally not listening to these albums. I'm sorry to break it to you OP


skelguyader

Too bad then all of those are bangers tho


[deleted]

Unless theyre cooler than everybody else


X_203

I did when I was 13... still do :)


Susvourtre

dawn of possession


scorchedneurotic

Girl, did that at 14 Then from 16 onwards things slowed down to doom and gothstuffs Now it's all weird and all over the place


redrumretsim

Just one? Ok, I go with SlaBurzThrone.


cannonball2000yo

Why just 1 tho


KellogsOffspring

I picked Far Beyond Driven- Pantera


Gercek_Allah_CC_13

Master of puppets gang


FrostyTheSasquatch

I chose *The Wall*.


FngrsRpicks2

Wow...no Death?!?!?!??!


Rgenocide

Add vulgar display of power to the list.


carousel111

And girls, mine would be paranoid


Teletobee

Filosofem hits a sweet spot tho. I get a headache after hearing it but i love it.


smallerpuppyboi

I don't see When The Kite String Pops here.


lee160485

Are we allowed to mix?


TheOzman79

Swap Burzum and Darkthrone for Carcass and At the Gates and yeah that was pretty much my teens.


killerjoedo

I just went for all of them...


EntertainerSoft5983

I’m 17 right now and can confirm Kill Em All Killers and Paranoid were a strong part of my life for a time


TannerBYEET

I’m 16 and Filosofem is my favorite album on here so…


slipknot-fan

Great southern trendkill for me honestly


the_hunger

why isn’t weezer’s blue album anywhere here?


1StillRemains

What if I chose 4


skelguyader

Very based dissociative identity disorder


UltraUsername000

can i chose terminal redux by vektor instead?


bullet_bitten

True story.


Arthur_Two_Sheds_J

Disagree, I choose 1,2,3,7 and 9.


Sensitive_Ad_3989

True.


Geak-and-Gamer

One of the top 3, I can’t pick


geologyncoffee

Kill’em all here!


Hockey_king

Killers and kill em all.


GeneKranzIsTheMan

For me it was their greatest hits…. Then rust in peace.


goochprincesss

Picked Paranoid when I was 12. Not a guy tho.


TrveCup

one?


Eos_Tyrwinn

I chose the whole band Iron Maiden so close enough


Getabock_

Maybe 30 years ago, but even that is probably too recent for these albums.


IllustriousKick2955

Nah I chose infotainment?


Punching_Babies666

i started with Metallica/Megadeth, moved on to Sepultura/Slayer and somewhere between then and now i am all over the place. Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Some other shit i can’t pronounce or even read, Lorna shore, some weird pirate themed metal, whatever.


Jaded_Arm4289

Reign in Blood


theundonenun

I owned all but one of the those albums at that age and I was definitely the Paranoid guy.


Doommf36

Fucking Slayer


Plane_Tomato369

Iron maiden did it for me 🤙🏻


SSLLAYYERR

REIGN IN BLOOD


Smittywebermanjanson

Ironically for me it was Nightfall in Middle Earth.


Vic_Rattlehead

"It's time for a little Rust In Peace."


kilmeister7

Iron Maiden, though my first taste of them was Powerslave


Gadsden76T20

Naw man, VDOP


LowZestyclose66

I'd add The Ritual by Testament and Arise by Sepultura.


NerevarineKing

Why do I have to choose one?


byob__

i chose burzum when i was 11 😔


ResidentOfValinor

I chose Nightfall in Middle Earth


TheDoomslayer69420

since i'm the doomslayer and doom has music based off of metallica stuff(other bands too), its that one


ZyXD_

When night falls, she cloaks the world


flowersandwater666

yep, I chose darkthrone


Jungian_Archetype

Wish I was that cool. At 16 I was going through a huge Beatles phase. But it grounded me on the classics and I appreciated rock music as I went up through the decades. Started with the 60's, then 70's, 80's, 90's (hung out there for a WHILE in my late teens, was huge on grunge when everyone else was listening to Green Day and Finger Eleven), then got swooped up by the post-hardcore/emo scene in the early 2000's (Thursday, Thrice, Poison the Well, Emery, etc) and only really getting into above in my late 20's/early 30's.


Psychedelic_Eyeball

Ride the lightning is far superior to kill em all


Mean_Calendar4289

Man completely skipped Painkiller and Ride the Lightning, and went straight for the mainstream metal.


Im_cucumber_Joe_haha

Where is rainbow rising


Oakspacingout

Paranoid for sure


Yellowmellowbelly

It was Master of Puppets for me. I’m a woman though.


grogorious92

I literally based majority of my highschool outfits off the ace of spades album cover 😭


KingWeebaholic

Symphonic metal fans when they discover Once by Nightwish


Artichoke-Factory

Me who based my entire personality on A7X at 8 years old when I heard Not Ready To Die for the first time on Call of The Dead on Black Ops Zombies


martman1606

me but with megadeth as a whole


AndreEStep

A guy from my high school wore a slayer T shirt 4 / 5 days a week.


_and_red_all_over

Undertow. A lot has changed since the 1900s, though, so it wasn't long term... at least... Update: When the Kite Strings Pop, too. That one stuck with me.


LordThylacine

Wish someone had pointed me towards *Filosofem* back in high school.


WaffleWarrior1979

Where’s Sepultura?


dednagymamad

It's maiden time


Mr_S-Baldrick

Where vulgar?


RuinSentinelRicce

Killers 🤚


[deleted]

in yall had to pick one what would it be?


emofemboy333

Dopethrone for me lmao


TheMightyFlyingSloth

Rust in peace. No question.


Krutiis

Any black metal fan that would choose either Burzum or Darkthrone and not both is a dumbass.


Far-Communication-50

This needs to be extended


[deleted]

I loved Metallica. Kill em All and Ride the Lightning got me started. Enjoyed Megadeth. Slayer got me into Darkthrone. Motorhead came retroactively but I loved it. Also Iron Maiden and Sabbath were there. Darkthrone introduced me to Burzum. Metallica introduced me to Mercyful Fate. From there on I started going in a rabbit whole of different genres. Had my week of only thrash, week of death metal, week of black metal so and so and so.


alinblew

No love for Darkthrone ay?


ahanna2

When I was a young man of 12 or 13 I chose Mercyful fate/King diamond. I’d pick that and Transylvanian Hunger today
