Is Mindcrime considered to be the greatest metal album of all time?

[Dark One]

lolz @ people paying attention to thrash lyrics

Come on, I wasn't ragging on him for not paying attention to the lyrical content; rather, I was ragging on him for not knowing early Metallica by heart. I mean, I must've heard "No life 'til leather, we're gonna kick some ass tonight" about 80,000,000,000,000 times by now. It's practically like breathing.

I thought that became more apparent on Justice ("Dyers Eve") and s/t ("God that Failed").

It's funny because Dyers Eve is seemingly so introverted and personal and meaningful and all but then when they played it live in god damn 2003 or something James had forgotten about half the words. But the rest of the band had forgotten half of the music so meh

i always find it funny when discussions of "best metal ever" always gravitate back to Metallica. i guess it's sort of telling of their legacy, regardless of how much Lars looked like everyone's grammaw for the Load photo sessions.

Things I never realized until I discovered UM:

- N00bs think Lars is a shitty drummer, period.
- People have issues with Dave Mustaine's snarl.

 

[Erik]

but lars IS a shitty drummer, period!

now that is a thread that could not be debated ...

I will say he's DE-evolved, that's for damn sure.

I made chili tonight. Then I pooped.

I guess "band practice" goes out the window when you've got 3 squillion dollars in a swiss bank.

I don't know if you've heard the complete clusterfuck that was their 2003 live rendition of "Dyers Eve", but if you hold that song dear, I would suggest you do NOT

If anyone ever doubts the shittiness of Lars just play them this, it's laughable

 

[lurch70]

if he was not the business brains behind the band, i am pretty sure he would have been fired a long time ago.

I mean Charlie Watts does not break a sweat when playing ... why does Lars always appear so winded ...

LOL @ squillion. I've heard imaginary numerical denominations used a bajillion times, but never 3 squillion.

Forget Lars today, I'm talking about the first four albums.

When that double bass drum kicks in for "One", fuck me, the metal world had never heard anything like that before. That is what you'd call a 'machine gun' riff. Utter excellence.

 

[NAD]

i just poo'd.

Lars = perfectly competent in the thrash days, but never anything special. well, some stuff on Justice is pretty awesome in terms of teh drumming.

Mustaine > Metallica

there's Three Nuggets from NAD.

I'm quite certain you're right on the money here - I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to check this out.

Mustaine could never write that one fucking epic, unforgetable song ... that fucking ... his Stairway to Heaven ... and this is why ... well ...

Yeah, I have to agree here. When I first heard his drumming on "Fight Fire With Fire", I was floored.

 

[NAD]

isn't Lars like 213905 years old now? i can totally forgive the modern crappiness that is he. mostly because i suck at drums and can now say "HAW HAW! i'm better than you, you short grammaw lookin' dutch FAG!"

disagree by like, a schmillion points. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due is like, way better than 99% of what i listen to.

most of his peers are the same age I think ... Lombardo, Sep guys, Sandoval ... his suckiness has no excuse.

Mustaine > Metallica

Megadeth =

Metallica =

At least, by comparison.
