Re: Metallica Survivor FINAL ROUND: Creeping Death vs. One (Nov 20-22)
I can't decide. I've been voting Creeping Death all the way through the last 3-4 rounds but I feel that the number 1 Metallica song should be more 'thrashy' than One.
The only reason I preferred One to Creeping Death was because I'd listened to it more. It looks like Creeping Death will "Win" anyway and One will be the best song but I don't know.

Even though I voted against it, I was kind of rooting for Creeping Death to win, since One is almost too obvious a choice. But One is a great song, so I won't complain.
Thanks for playing, everyone!

I pretty much agree with the top 10 although maybe I'd knock one of the Death Magnetic songs off for ...And Justice for All but I joined way too late to influence events back then.
It's a clichéd number 1 but I'd have liked to have seen Master of Puppets at number 1. The top 3 was bang on though, just the wrong way around.

That's maybe a little surprising? Usually MoP gets more mention, both among media, critics and fans, so I would guess MoP was the people's choice.
Now, I'm more in keeping with the trend you noticed in this thread - Ride The Lightning is my favourite Metallica album, and well inside the top 10 of all metal albums I have listened to.

That's just my point. The results here differ from what I would expect if the poll had been done among a representative selection of Metallica fans (with representative, I mean that the selection should include the whole range of fans, from those who think Metallica sold out even before The Black Album to those who actually became fans because of the black album, to those who go to concerts only to hear "One" and "Enter Sandman").

True. I always wonder about any fans that go see a band for only a handful of songs that are uber popular. Those fans just manage to water down the band's set-list.

That's my problem with Metallica. They have a small selection of awesome, supreme songs.
But these songs are so strong that they are thousand times as popular as others. The contrast is too big.
If I'd ever attend a Metallica concert (I doubt it: I am one of those people who mainly likes those über popular songs, but in contrast to what many people do -according to Genghis Khan- I am not going to spend more than 100 euro for that), I'd be banging my head off during "One" (and would have no head left during "Creeping Death" or "The Four Horsemen"), but would certainly try to get some food or drink (or take a piss) during one of those duller songs.
Maiden has, thank God, way more strong songs in their catalogue. And that's why most fans are spellbound from the beginning til the end.
That's my 2 cents of course. I hope you'll have lots of fun at that concert, Wingman! I am curious for your report.

Just to make my case clear, I was not necessarily speaking of Metallica when I made the above comment. As I've never been to a Metallica concert, I do not know how the fans behave. I was thinking of a different band actually (not Maiden either).
Wingman, what is your opinion on different Metallica 'eras'? Personally, I love the thrash albums better than their 90s material, and I do not care for the Loads or the one with the orchestra.

Now, I've never been much into the Metallica of the 90's. I didn't grow up listening to them, I took interest in them after being introduced to hard rock and metal by AC/DC and Maiden. I felt it naturally to start with the "classic" Metallica albums, so I bought Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets. Liked them instantly, and got myself the other two 80's albums.
As a matter of fact, I don't own any post-AJFA albums, although I've listened to the others as well. I think the Black Album is good, but it is quite different from the four first. More refined production, more radio-friendly songs and so on. It should be pointed out that before I heard through the entire Black Album, I'd heard a lot about it - most of it negative (because it came from fans of their early material) - and I was actually surprised in a positive way. I had of course heard NEM, Sandman and Unforgiven before, but the rest wasn't as bad as I had expected.
Load and ReLoad are to me two quite dull albums. They're too long - both could have been cut down to 50-60 minutes and would not have suffered from it. Some good songs, but lots of really boring stuff as well.
St. Anger should be seen as an "era" on its own, and I've never really liked it. I think, like many others, that their latest effort is a very huge step forwards compared to St. Anger, and I look forward to hearing a couple of DM songs live.
But to me, Metallica were at their best from 1984 to 1990. Too bad I was just a kid back then and didn't have the chance to see them. Well, they are still said to kick ass live.

Eddies Wingman said:
Agreed. Especially on the last point. When I really wanted to see the band, I was too young and had no money. Then their focus changed and my interest flagged. But DM has me excited again.
