When the band played “Now That We’re Dead” they went into a cool little breakdown with Lars taking over the rhythm and the crowd really got into it. One from Kill ‘Em All, one from Re-Load, “One” from …And Justice for All (see what I did there?), one from Master of Puppets and three from Ride the Lightning. So, for those keeping tabs at home, that’s 11 songs between just two albums. The black album reigned supreme with six songs being played off of that. The boys played five songs off of Hardwired to Self Destruct – which I had a feeling they might go heavy on that album due to the enormous amount of marketing and promotion they put behind it.
100 greatest metal albums full#
If you’re unaware, they played 18 full songs with a couple of nice surprises. I had heard from friends what the set list was comprised of, and I initially thought it would be disappointing. Not only was I impressed with the sound quality – but just the energy and I was listening with a bittersweet ear. They may have done this in the past, I’m not sure – but I was stoked about this time around.
So, after I dried my tears from checking out their amazing photos – I saw that Metallica is recording and selling “bootlegs” of all their shows on this tour. Some were fortunate enough to get snake pit passes and I’m not too proud to say that I was INSANELY jealous.
I have a lot of friends and family that went. (Shame on me) and I thought this would have been my chance when they played Gillette Stadium on May 19th – but I cheapened out and didn’t buy tickets. So now back to my originally planned blog – Metalica live. What do you think? What should be crowned the greatest metal album of all-time? METALLICA – LIVE* I hate that I read these lists, but I can’t avoid them. To have bands like Ministry make the list with Psalm 69, but then omit an arguably bigger “Industrial Metal” band like Nine Inch Nails just makes no sense. Overall I felt that this list was confused and the fact that more than one person put it together is obvious. Nowhere did I see Judas Priest’s “Sad Wings of Destiny” – but yet Evanescense, Soundgarden, and Living Colour made the list?
They could have easily plugged in about four more Iron Maiden records. Three albums that DEFINED death metal are completely passed over. Bathory’s self titled record and so is Possessed – Seven Churches. When they label the article as the 100 “Greatest” metal albums of all-time, one would just assume that they would consider ground breaking albums.ĭeath – Scream Bloody Gore is missing.
GLARING omissions all over the place here. What concerns me is that this list could have been done so, so much better. That said – nothing shocks you on that list. I thought for sure, being Rolling Stone, they would have gone with Ace of Spades, but alas – color me surprised. There is only one “minor” surprise on that list for me, being Motorhead. Megadeth – Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?Ġ4. Lets not fuck around and get to the top 10 without any further adieu.Ġ8. Go ahead, give it a read and take note of obvious omissions. I suggest checking out the article here: PILE OF DOG SHIT The top ten was easily comprised by the cognitive 15 running a simple Google search for “greatest metal album of all-time” and ranking the results haphazardly. This is my “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING, ROLLING STONE?!?” face.Įasily, there are at least 10-15 albums that (to me) do not quantify as Metal and at the bare minium, another 10-15 albums that were blatantly overlooked.
