i like metallica more than most other bands i listen to (except nevermore and maybe except sepultura). Before i was into nevermore, sepultura and other heavy music i was into metallica, metallica got me into metal so that is why i like metallica a lot.
and yeah disposable heroes according to me is better than anything slayer ever wrote. hell according to MY TASTE anything of master, justice and ride is better than slayer's discography toghether and squared, but that is just MY TASTE and kerry king has no right to talk shit about them, as they neverm talked shit about them, but actually helped them by making them the openning act of many metallica's shows, but i guess KK forgets that because it is cool to bash tallica these days. metallica is very aware of what people are talking about them and they are living up to their name. I watched the live streaming of rock am ring a 2 hour and 17 minutes worth of LIVE metallica. The show was really good, and it was a well rehearsed performance, hammett didn't fuck up the damage inc, nor the MOP solos which he usually does, so people cannot bash anymore metallica anymore for putting shitty shows cause now they have a killer setlist that they play well for the moment. the only thing that can be said badly about metallica's show right now can be hetfield's voice...but it is lame to say they suck just because of his voice, because the same way you can say that nevermore sucks because WD blew his voice and sang shitty at some shows, or because he was wasted sometimes and sang shitty (view WD's voice thread), but now he does his best live (i've been to a NM and his voice kicks so much ass), but NEVERMORE never sucked. Metallica had their shitty shows,but not anymore. I can bet a lot that Kerry King is just jealous that he is not hammet or hetfield and that because metallica "sold out" and that he cannot drive the cars hetfield does.
my 2 cents.
p.s nevermore>sepultura>metallica>opeth>anythig else right now according to me at this moment
