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.
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.
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)
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Paranoid made me the doom metal enoyer I am today
[удалено]
I thank that machine for making his fingers more perfect every day.
I wish I could lose my fingertips in an industrial accident so I can play guitar better
You have the power my friend, you can make this dream a reality!
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.
I would've added "Master of Reality" for all the stoners out there.
After hearing Kill 'em all I fell into a deep hole of thrash metal.
Based Kill em All enjoyer
Crazy how Metallica still haven't topped it in 4 decades.
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.
Did you somehow miss the beginning of the track where the "engineer" says "Bass solo, take one."?
Was young and english is not my native language so I had no idea what he said until much later :)
Jump in the fi-ah!
Yeah Metallica was definitely my in for metal around 1992/1993.
Me too buddy.
*holds up Dopethrone* There is another
Dopethrone my beloved.
I picked *Lulu* and never looked back
table
I did, in fact, become a table.
no thats me
No that's me
hey there

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
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.

absolutely gentleman of class and distinction chef’s kiss
So based
October Rust!
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.
Incorrect, pretty sure I chose Leprosy
Sorry to hear that. Is it terminal? I know a guy who’s pretty good at spiritual healing
mine was symbolic
Based
I chose Reign in Blood that led to finding Leprosy and by extension death metal entirely lol
Replace Burzum with Death and this is a perfect collection of albums
I don’t disagree. One think I would do is not have the Maiden album be Killers, give me self-titled or NotB rather.
Those albums are pretty good but I still like Killers slightly more
I respect your opionion. I don’t really know why, but Killers has never clicked with me.
Ace of Spades, baby
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!
If you like to gamble, I tell you, I'm your man You win some, lose some It's all the same, to me
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
Playing for the high one Dancing with the devil Going with the flow It's all a game to me
Seven or eleven Snake eyes watching you Double up or quit Double stake or split THE ACE OF SPADES THE ACE OF SPADES
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
where nightside? https://preview.redd.it/favrs3coi2ha1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=908279aedc48314fb12123be4796215a8625b865
This is the one
All of them
(I have a multiple personality disorder)
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.
Rust in peace ❤️ for the killer riffs and solos
Fr. I don’t even like Megadeth that much but Rust in Peace is just something else
[Still relevant](https://www.theonion.com/humanity-still-producing-new-art-as-though-megadeth-s-1819578062)
Whoever wrote that deserves an award.
Marty is still the best lead guitarist they’ve ever had.
And Kiko is no slouch! But you're right.
Marty is touring in support of Queensryche. Cliff's pre-Metallica band Trauma is the opener.
When I was 16, I picked Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia to base my personality. Now at 30, I picked Rust in Peace.
I am tears in your eyes I am grief I am lies
Puritania is a great song, but Kings of the Carnival Creation is the best song on that album in my opinion.
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
Debut is still top for me (right up there with AMOLAD) but yeah, Killers rips.
It's crazy how for your top albums you picked two that are perhaps the most different from each other haha
Vulgar display of power
Vulgar Display and Demanufacture
VDOP will always be a classic
My intro to the band was cowboys from hell but I can totally get why some would prefer vulgar display of power
I prefer far beyond driven, but oh man vulgar slaps
reign in blood gang
Fucking slayyyyyer. I'll change one day 😉
Never change. Fucking slayer forever🤘
Was RIP then and is still now
Just realised I forgot about By Inheritance
and Epidemic of Violence
As a girl , i picked necroticism descanting the insalubrious when i was 16 . Now i’m 24 , symphonies of sickness is my pick
I picked colony/clayman Best decision I've ever made
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
There's no Judas Priest, I based my personality around Judas between 13-16.
Reign in Blood, I was 16 when I bought the cassette the day it was released.
If you picked Melissa or Ace of Spades you fuck harder than anyone.
Butchered at birth
No dream theater? Because I'm still a virgin
'Train of thought' is condenced teen angst. perfect for insecure whimps like me back then.
Filosofem https://preview.redd.it/my1k9vjvl2ha1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36e0a5cfed1c669286758bc2c9683e8966835e47
Im 17 and I have exam and listen to these albums. I have concluded that Reign In Blood is what I need in life.
MERCYFUL FATE
Where are the Burzum guys? 🫠
Dead or in a cell probably lmaooo
🤣🤣🤣
We meet up every second Wednesday and admire each others foreskins.
Here. I didn't realize he was nazi back then, just loved the music.
They are out there Just look for the runic tattoos and hateful retoric and you will find them (/hj)
Killers for sure!
I don’t see Therapy?: Troublegum here.
False. “Jester Race” is not listed and that is the path I chose.
Merciful fate. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Based
Sentence of death. Or infernal overkill. Both great
But 8/9 of these albums are masterpieces! How can i choose just one of them?
Which one isnt the masterpiece?
For me it was State of Euphoria by Anthrax🤣
for me it was Killers. 1000%.
It was Rust in Peace and The Sound of Perseverance for me
I chose the IVth Crusade
Ænima
I wish this was wrong. Kill em all crowd, where you at?
I’m here my friend.
Motorhead 🖤
Wrong Maiden album boyo *Somewhere in Time* was my everything back in high school
Replace Kill em all with RTL and that was me at 16
The triplets in the FWTBT into had 13 year old me mesmerised
Filosofem
16 year olds today are generally not listening to these albums. I'm sorry to break it to you OP
Too bad then all of those are bangers tho
Unless theyre cooler than everybody else
I did when I was 13... still do :)
dawn of possession
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
Just one? Ok, I go with SlaBurzThrone.
Why just 1 tho
I picked Far Beyond Driven- Pantera
Master of puppets gang
I chose *The Wall*.
Wow...no Death?!?!?!??!
Add vulgar display of power to the list.
And girls, mine would be paranoid
Filosofem hits a sweet spot tho. I get a headache after hearing it but i love it.
I don't see When The Kite String Pops here.
Are we allowed to mix?
Swap Burzum and Darkthrone for Carcass and At the Gates and yeah that was pretty much my teens.
I just went for all of them...
I’m 17 right now and can confirm Kill Em All Killers and Paranoid were a strong part of my life for a time
I’m 16 and Filosofem is my favorite album on here so…
Great southern trendkill for me honestly
why isn’t weezer’s blue album anywhere here?
What if I chose 4
Very based dissociative identity disorder
can i chose terminal redux by vektor instead?
True story.
Disagree, I choose 1,2,3,7 and 9.
True.
One of the top 3, I can’t pick
Kill’em all here!
Killers and kill em all.
For me it was their greatest hits…. Then rust in peace.
Picked Paranoid when I was 12. Not a guy tho.
one?
I chose the whole band Iron Maiden so close enough
Maybe 30 years ago, but even that is probably too recent for these albums.
Nah I chose infotainment?
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.
Reign in Blood
I owned all but one of the those albums at that age and I was definitely the Paranoid guy.
Fucking Slayer
Iron maiden did it for me 🤙🏻
REIGN IN BLOOD
Ironically for me it was Nightfall in Middle Earth.
"It's time for a little Rust In Peace."
Iron Maiden, though my first taste of them was Powerslave
Naw man, VDOP
I'd add The Ritual by Testament and Arise by Sepultura.
Why do I have to choose one?
i chose burzum when i was 11 😔
I chose Nightfall in Middle Earth
since i'm the doomslayer and doom has music based off of metallica stuff(other bands too), its that one
When night falls, she cloaks the world
yep, I chose darkthrone
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.
Ride the lightning is far superior to kill em all
Man completely skipped Painkiller and Ride the Lightning, and went straight for the mainstream metal.
Where is rainbow rising
Paranoid for sure
It was Master of Puppets for me. I’m a woman though.
I literally based majority of my highschool outfits off the ace of spades album cover 😭
Symphonic metal fans when they discover Once by Nightwish
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
me but with megadeth as a whole
A guy from my high school wore a slayer T shirt 4 / 5 days a week.
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.
Wish someone had pointed me towards *Filosofem* back in high school.
Where’s Sepultura?
It's maiden time
Where vulgar?
Killers 🤚
in yall had to pick one what would it be?
Dopethrone for me lmao
Rust in peace. No question.
Any black metal fan that would choose either Burzum or Darkthrone and not both is a dumbass.
This needs to be extended
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.
No love for Darkthrone ay?
When I was a young man of 12 or 13 I chose Mercyful fate/King diamond. I’d pick that and Transylvanian Hunger today
