Hahaha, now that's just silly. Whether you like them or not, there is no chance at all that they are even CLOSE to the worst thing that has happened to metal.

They are to metal what Steven Wilson or Rush are to prog-rock. Stern Smile

I don't see the metaphor here. What are Rush or Steven Wilson to prog rock?

THE BEGINNING OF THE END!!! Cry THE WORST THING EVER HAPPENED TO PROG ROCK!!!

Or that's what they look like when I read some comments about them on the forum...

The same thing could be applied on Metallica's case: I know that their latest albums are far from being good and enjoyable, but I have the feeling that the Metalli-bashing had become an acquired reflex for a lot of people despise of logic and sensible arguments.

Gotta go with Budgie but then I like the old school sound being  an old fart.
 
Not a Metallicaca fan as Dean would say....and I think the comments about Rush and Wilson being the end of prog rock is simply silly.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Budgie
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

This actually happened to me. Everything from The Second album to the Black Album went. Eyelids duly not batted... well at first, maybe but then having anything stolen would do that.

The comparison is interesting. Amazing what correctly phrased hard rock rhythm guitar can do for a listener's preferences.

Amen, thank you.  I mean, even Garage Days is that bad, huh?  Who knew?  So Metallica never had anything to do with the creation of prog metal? What next, Ride The Lightning shouldn't have been made? Metallica were just whiffle thrash and Anthrax were ten times more brutal?

Yes, Metallica's version of Breadfan is metal-ised, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Hey, Anthrax wasn't too bad. Metallica wrote better music, but the ability was there in both cases. I'd say Anthrax's debut was better than Metallica's even (marginally).

Nothing against Anthrax, I do like them (though I do prefer Kill em all to Fistful of metal.  Just saying the Metalli-hate often gets out of proportion.

Much prefer the Budgie version.

There's been a few Metallica covers I have enjoyed, Whiskey in the Jar, Am I Evil? but overall as a band they just bore me to be honest.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The only good thing about Metallica's version is that it ended up publicizing the superior Budgie version.
