Is there any fan of Mettalica here?

I enjoy Metallica!  Their music is dynamic for rock not other genres such as some classical, jazz and opera music

Case in point is on the S&M album - with the San Francisco symphony - I understand they had to use their typical concern amp set up to match the sound of the symphony. 

 Big fan of Metallica, but mostly the first five albums.  I have a couple of tracks from Master of Puppets on a playlist that I have rolling most of the time.  I just got done listening to a bit of the Black album.

That is quite a Loudspeaker set-up. Yes, big fan of the band here.

Happy Listening!

Have a nice weekend!

I was at that original S&M concert conducted by Michael Kamen at Berkeley Community Theater way back when..... 

I  started paying attention to Metallica after reading the NY Village Voice review of MOP back in 1984. It was several years before I found the Elektra LP at my local Goodwill for $3. I already had the CD and did a comparison. I noticed an irritating high frequency grunge on the CD that wasn't present on the LP. The LP was way better sounding! Through the late 1980's and into the 90's Metallica became a staple on Rock FM radio. The band reached its peak with the Black album in 1993. From there it's been downhill with cr*p like Load/Reload, St. Anger, Death Magnetic ... up to the present day.

Death Magnetic was the focus of a NY Times article about the Loudness Wars in present day pop/rock music. A dynamic range of 3 db! I had the CD and found it sounded awful. Of course most death/black metal/thrash over the past few decades sounds equally limited in dynamic range. 

Here’s a different take.  Quite beautiful I think…

Sandman - Mexico City

I do dig that song, but would rather be in an audience like the above getting ratcheted up to "tilt."

Have you guys heard the new Judas Priest release. I am a fan of this new one.

Is there anyone who can spell Metallica here?

No on any and all counts.....but will not hold it against anyone, nor try to use it for ransoms... ;) *LOL*

Nor can one use my odd tastes in forms amusically related against me.

I will become obscurely vindictive.....

"OMG, it's locked up my streamer and it sounds like barnyard animals in Hell...

...and I can't turn ....it....down.... The volume just...keeps going ....Up....!?"

I have always loved Metallica.  Until "Death Magnetic" came out.  I found it unlistenable.  I had my system adjusted to my usual volume setting and found myself continually getting up and turning the volume down further and further. The extreme compression and overdone equalization was more than I could take.  I stopped listening about 3/4 of the way through.  It went back in the case and straight to Goodwill..  

An old friend of mine here in San Francisco, Ron, came up with the name 'Metallica' for them.... 

Big fan! Just saw them live in August for their no repeat weekend show at Met Life. They still kick ass!

In addition to writing awesome music, their covers are superb! Here’s one of their latest covers…an old Deep Purple classic…

I like Metallica. Never heard of Mettalica.
Metallica’s first 4 albums are classics. I’m particularly fond of Master of Puppets.
Side note: if unfamiliar, check out Motörhead’s cover of “Whiplash.” Awesome.

I really got my money’s worth from the first 5 releases.

Definitely, there music grabs you...
