Response to Ryan H To start off, I love this blog post. I never actually thought I'd find another person who agrees with me about Metallica and now I did. Metallica is my all-time favorite band. The first 3 albums are masterpieces. I totally agree with this blog post. When you think of the 80s you think of the big hair bands, you think of Metallica, you think of rock and metal. Metallica had a huge influence on the music that came after them and todays current metal music scene. With hit songs such as “Enter Sandman”, “One” “Nothing Else Matters” and “Sad But True” Metallica is regarded as one of the best metal bands to walk the face of the earth as well one of the most influential, having sold over 100,000,000 albums and selling out stadiums for 30+ years. One of their best songs written has to be “One”. The lyrics are just great. I know the lyrics by heart but I actually read them the other day and they really have a deep feeling to them. I think there is a difference with just knowing the lyrics and actually reading them. The line that really sticks out to me is “fed through the tube that sticks in me, just like a war time novelty.” That line is just heart-breaking but also awesome in a way. To put it in simple terms, I agree that Metallica is one of the best band from the 80s and all around one of the best bands ever. The lyrics, the instruments, the albums are just amazing.
