since I wouldn't be able to post this anywhere else without making a huge flame war, can somebody tell me why Metallica is so famous? I mean, it's really not that great thrash. I'm listening through ride the lightning and it's so.. simple, and hardly that amazing and brilliant. most of the riffs are basically just the same thing for most of the song, and that repetitive SAME RIFF OVER AND OVER doesn't cut it for me. I'll happily admit I prefer Megadeth's first four albums but that shouldn't matter, I don't give a shit about this Metallica vs Megadeth war, not even the band members do anymore or is that why they're famous? because they're simple? I don't get music tastes of the general population
Didn't they invent thrash basically [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] Terribly sorry if I'm wrong
Venom invented thrash But Metallica popularised it, probably because they're way more accessible than the rest of thrash. Their lyrics aren't so controversial, they're not so heavy or brutal, and they're catchy.

I don't feel like bumping the Mastodon thread and everybody who listens to them is in here too so here goes Am I the only one who does not like Leviathan so much? Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye are awesome because of the way they implement complicated guitar work with really simple but catchy vocal melodies and chord progressions Plus the song structures are amazing ¨ Leviathan doesn't really have this I find, it's more "everyday metal/punk" [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] I haven't really listened to remission yet [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] Also maybe Venom created thrash originally, but Metallica refined it and made it a lot more enjoyable?
Leviathan is good but it's pretty overrated. And yeah that sounds about right for Metallica. They also brought uh... Talent, to the genre :v: Venom's musicianship was terrible really. It sounded good but it was not exactly complex lol

Yeah I really don't find Metallica that great either. I think they're good but not particularly amazing. Definitely one of the most overrated bands ever :v:

It seems to me you're coming at Metallica with really high expectations. It's just really well written. It takes the punk genius of the misfits and the smooth melodies of saxon in, well, the creation of thrash. Just TRY to enjoy it instead of approaching it with the mindset "this won't be as good as I was told it'll be." Even if you still don't like it, it should be very clear why other people do.
His opinion became invalid to me when he told me Exhorder was sloppy.

Try having an open mind If you don't like "simple" music then it's just not for you. If all you care about is technicality you're better off listening to Dream Theater or some shit.

Slayer is actually a lot more complex than Metallica if you look at them from a musical standpoint and look at their use of dissonant chord progressions but I doubt you actually approach technically from a standpoint other than "difficult to play riffs." [editline]22nd November 2010[/editline] Repetition is how music has always been, I don't get it. Ever heard of ABABCAB songwriting? Megadeth uses it just as well.

Just imagine how awesome it would be if this was not planned Like spur of the moment they stuck cameras all over their seats and started playing without instruments, on a public train :v: [editline]22nd November 2010[/editline] holy shit its a camper van not a train I've seen that video like 10 ten times and never noticed lol
