James Hetfield drives the best hard rock band of all time
Kirk Hammett plays lead and shreds most of the best solos ever recorded.
Pinnacle
And the guy the kicked out is a fucking insane player too.

For some reason Metallica attract Nickelback like hate online which is ridiculous.
Sure “Whisky in the Jar” is pretty shit…..and “Nothing else matters” is sappy crap you can learn on the guitar in five minutes. I really don’t like that song……
But the flipside of that is they’ve done banger after banger after banger.
Hard, heavy, mainstream and massively popular. It’s a formula they’ve made work better than anyone.
Cool guys too, even Lars when he’s not being a dick.
Trujillo would be the best muso of that bunch overall even if he doesn’t show it so much in the band.

Just been watching a recording of Sounds of the Sixties (BBC) and they had Jimi and his boys on. Just them in a live TV studio and they did an improv Hey Joe, interspersed with guitar licks from the Beatles, then a version of the Cream hit Sunshine of your love and they did it better than Cream. Rather cruelly it was followed by a live version from Cream. Great but nowhere near really.

Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell were a terrific rhythm section. Very unheralded…..and sadly none other of them are with us any more.
As a power trio they blew Cream out of the water in my opinion ( well, Baker was probably a better drummer but still )

Possibly an unpopular opinion…..but I can’t stand Tom Morellos lead playing.
All that screechy feedback effects laden shit does my head in.
Feels weird saying that considering I love the groups he is in and the riffs he has written…..
Some groups you look forward to the guitar leads.
His ones are the opposite.

Does look a tad uncomfortable doesn't it.
