    my high school is on wiki because it's one of the better schools in the state but apparently no one famous is from it

    He even does it in that video.

    Measure, measure, measure, hesitant pause, tom triplets.

    Measure, measure, measure, hesitant pause, snare roll.

    This is going to come as a shock

    But Metallica are not good musicians.

    They're certainly more competent musicians than the majority out there.

    my 10 year high school reunion was this year in north carolina, there was no drama and almost everyone was hot and successful

    then we had a house party and all the married couples started making out with the other married couples and I was so happy to go home to seattle

    well shit if we're being that picky then I guess there isn't any good Metallica

    The Black Album is the most amazing sounding studio record, they are a good studio band.

    This story is false: there aint no way people from north carolina are hot and/or successful. (unless you use the kentucky method of gauging beauty and success, which is how many teeth you have intact.)

    the fucking Sex Pistols

    I took a rock history class in college and we watched The Filth And The Fury, which is supposed to be the band's story told from the perspective of the band members themselves but still makes them all come off as a bunch of unrepentant jerkoffs

    they are a joke being forever played on anyone who actually likes music

    I liked that guy

    "Sid came in and Sid was a moron, you know, he was an idiot."

    also he didn't have the slightest fucking clue how to play bass despite being given lessons by fucking Lemmy

    I think my school's most famous Alum would probably be Georgina Beyer, the world's first openly transsexual mayor, as well as the world's first openly transsexual Member of Parliament. But she was only there for like a year, so the connection is a bit tenuous compared to other celebrities like Gavin Larson (Cricketer) and Andrew Mulligan (Sports Reporter) are people who actually spent some time in the school.

    Or one of my good friends who stabbed a 15 year old girl to death 30 or so times on school grounds. But I've told that story before, and it's not very interesting.

    as in, Green Day sucks.

    nah their first four albums were pretty good

    after that, yeah, they suck

    (we call that the Metallica Phenomenon, by the way)

    Metallica must be hiding a bunch of secret albums I haven't heard somewhere.

    Kill 'Em All
    Ride the Lightning
    Master of Puppets
    ...And Justice For All

    those are good and if you disagree I will take a great big dump on your chest

    it will be gross

    Those are the best Metallica albums, I will agree with that.
    But to not include the black album, comon, that album is great, it may not be their best shit, but it is their biggest pop album by far, that was when rock was the most popular music in america, and the black album was the biggest album then too. It was Metallica's most commercially successful album too.

    Metallica stole the idea for the Black album from Spinal Tap

    used to hang out on that trail all the time, not far downstream from there there was a big flattish rock sitting in the middle of the water that was fairly easy to hop to and you could just sit there and look at the forest around you

    Yeah, the dude gets a bad rap.

    Super popular pretty boys always do.

    Guy is a good performer, I ain't disputing that. Though I got really fed up with seeing him EVERYWHERE for a while, but the worst of that has come and gone.

    My biggest beef now is that people just refuse to stop complaining about him in literally every music video, ever.

    I've seen videos of Beethoven where people are going "SO MUCH BETTER THAN BIEBER, HERPDERP"

    The derp is interpretational.
