GnR easily the worst album on this list

ban anyone who votes for either of those Metallica records

― ksh, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:17 (fourteen years ago)

everyone vote metallica

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:17 (fourteen years ago)

Voted Ride The Lighting. I think it's the most mediocre of the four Metallica 80s albums.

― kkvgz, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago)

you risk the wrath of ILM saying that.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:28 (fourteen years ago)

he's right tho

― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

I wonder what ksh dressed like when he was a 00s metalica fan who loved St Anger

jeans and t-shirts, iirc

one t-shirt, which I no longer own (RIP), was a Summer Sanitarium 2003 tour shirt

― ksh, Thursday, 8 July 2010 03:35 (fourteen years ago)

I've seen Metallica twice, once in 2003 and once in 2004, both in the aftermath of St. Anger

― ksh, Thursday, 8 July 2010 03:36 (fourteen years ago)

haha I saw them at the 1900 capacity Glasgow Barrowlands in 1996 when Load was out but they only did 2 tracks from it, the rest was all old stuff.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 8 July 2010 03:39 (fourteen years ago)

dude! same thing post-St. Anger. pretty sure BOTH TIMES it was just "Frantic" and "St. Anger"

at the time, I took it as a tacit admission from the band that they were aware all their fans, sans me, hated their new material

― ksh, Thursday, 8 July 2010 03:59 (fourteen years ago)

did you see them at a smallish venue? :)

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 8 July 2010 04:01 (fourteen years ago)

Gillette Stadium the first time, which is where the New England Patriots play, so no

TD Banknorth Garden* the second time, which is where the Boston Celtics play, so no again

* that's what it's called now, at least; the name keeps changing

― ksh, Thursday, 8 July 2010 04:03 (fourteen years ago)

Saw Metallica @ De Kuip Stadium, The Netherlands, in summer 1993, at the tail-end of the Black Album tour. Needless to say, my sixteen year old mind was blown.

― Marty Innerlogic, Thursday, 8 July 2010 14:21 (fourteen years ago)

Voted "Reign In Blood" because it is a horrible genre.

― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

Hahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahaha, I love Geir.

― he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

this is sooooo easily Shout at the Devil, so much filler on that album and it sucks dong compared to too fast for love

― peel ya frap back (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago)

the correct answer probably is Hysteria because it's my favorite album on this list and I'm not a metal guy

well, maybe it competes with Back in Black but I never think of AC/DC as a metal band anyway

― "Don't forget to bring a juggalo towel!" (HI DERE), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago)

It's funny how geir votes in these polls but doesnt vote in the big email polls

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago)

ReLoad got my vote for being a pathetic cash-in.

― orakle-krake (Gukbe), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago)

also Unforgiven II (Too?)

― orakle-krake (Gukbe), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago)

balls wrong thread

― orakle-krake (Gukbe), Friday, 9 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago)

Guess what? It's not Shout at the Devil because that opening monologue is totally fuckin' awesome, I have been reciting it in my sleep from the age of ten on. Plus "Danger" gives me chills.

― kkvgz, Friday, 9 July 2010 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

Hysteria by a considerable margin.

― EZ Snappin, Friday, 9 July 2010 20:56 (fourteen years ago)

It's Hysteria -- I don't think anything else is close.

Now if 'Ultimate Sin' were on that list there might be a race.

― righteousmaelstrom, Friday, 9 July 2010 21:12 (fourteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 12 July 2010 23:01 (fourteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:01 (fourteen years ago)

Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)

Whoever voted for this needs to be euthanized

― Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:04 (fourteen years ago)

even moreso than the slayer?
