Metallica = Black Sabbath vibe + Diamond/Motorhead song structures + need for speed + 4 combined styles of awesome + the right time/place

No matter how you slice it, Metallica was good, with borrowed vibes, licks, and ideas which clashed to form originality. Just like every other good band. 'Nuff said.

Metallica is Sabbath recycled. So what if Kirk thought up diffrent riffs. So did Iommi, and for that matter Blackmore, Page, Steve Harris, Malcolm Young, Rudy Schenker and even poor old Mick Mars!
This poll is about which band has had the biggest influence on Metal.

Sabbath have influenced everybody in the genre since 1969 who wanted something heavier than Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple - the other members of the triad that created Metal.

What 'HE' said! :D
 
espskully, I note you couldn't mount an argument out of your ass. Maybe Iommi's brilliant riffs have kicked it too often.
 
BTW, is it any coincidence that Sabbath has scored 66.6% of votes?

No coincidence that metallica have a pissweak 20%

I think its more based on opinion than fact. Pretty much like this entire thread. Personally I prefer Metallica. Personally.

Not being able to argue out of my ass is a good thing. It hasn't done you any good, now has it?

This whole thread sucks ass because the Poll is incomplete. The band that contributed, and still contributes most to metal, and RockandRoll is:


MOTÖRHEAD
 
I love the 3-4 good CDs Metallica gave us; which were quite innovative and well thought-out. However they are drastically overstated as individual musicians. I stole a torrent collection of their demos they recorded just before each album.

It is absolutely horrible. Beyond horrible. Lars fails to keep tempo. Hetfields voice on tracks like One is just shameful. Kirk pulls some awful solos; like failing to bend notes up properly (hitting an out of tune bend) and playing out of sync. It's a good dose of reality to illustrate where Metallica were eally at in their peak before their production budgets.

Plus a-million for this bloke. Motorhead.
 
Iron Maiden???? Spandex & generic guitar sounds are all the NWOBHM came up with as far as my ears are concerned. Metallica - pretty metal made thm famous & they don't sell much besides that - they could be whitesnake in a cuople of years - Balladallica - Lars' Bar Band. Apocalyptica prove the point by playing the pretty Meatallyacaneatica stuff but rock harder on their own with just 4 cellos.
The only thing Meyellatya own is the copyright to stuff & a law suit that destroyed their rebel yell.
Sabbs, Budgie, Very Early Queen, Lemmy's Motorhead all rock harder and more consistently & didn't claim naming rights either. Very little came out of the 80's that's not perm. tainted by hairspray or spandex.
Oh, by the way play a sabs LP at 45 & you can hear, almost perfectly the backing track to many a Sex Pistol song - Mind you I LOVE the Pistols.
Funny how ACDC, TRex, Slade all rate as hard rock now - they were BRILLIANT pop bands back then.
Mind you I can't even listen to Dio era Sabbs - too hysterical!
 
Led Zep were primarily blues/folk based, AC/DC were/are straight forward pub rock, Iron Butterfly shifted between hippy and heavy rock. Just as Sabbath are different again, so is Metallica..................all great bands.....all different.

Funny thing is that if you showed this thread to anyone from the major bands mentioned here, they'd find the whole thread hilarious and some of the opinions expressed to be beyond a joke................as a matter of fact, next time the very first singer with Iron M calls in for a coffee, I'll try and remember to show him and give him a laugh.

:cool:
 
I picked Black Sabbath because they're the only metal band I actually enjoy :p
 
Justice was the last real album. Everything after that was total shit. Very disappointing.

Seriously, their first four albums didn't have a dud on them, but the Black album and everything afterward was probably geared toward Sammy Hagar fans.

And that Napster thing cemented, in my mind, that they are prissy gaymen. And once in a while, when I hear that Nazi Michael Savage on the radio, they play Metallica inbetween his bits. This leads me to believe that they support that shit, or that they don't have real control over their music, which is what they supposedly killed Napster for.

I'll never spend another dime on those girls (Metallica).
 
:eek:

Awww WHIT!!

Bon Jovi only have 4% of the vote? You cannot be serious...

Errrrm... I would agree on the Lars front, how he has remained such a shite/uninspiring/simple drummer after so many years of playing is absolutely beyond me, but unless someone who knows their rock history better than myself can chip in here, I was of the belief that he contributed a whole lot to rock/metal drumming. It seems on a number of tracks (most of the St Anger album really) that he's just had too much say in the mixing as far as levels are concerned, and he's got his way with it too...

I find the above comment regarding Hetfield pretty much inconsequential. So fuck if his voice was bad on a demo...I wouldn't consider myself a big metalica fan, but from what I've heard of em (seen em live, got a good few albums) Hetfield has an awesome voice. Add to this the fact SO many vocalists have copied or been heavily influenced by his voice (and vocal hooks) regardless of genre. Also, he's come up with a load of huge riffs, again that loads of bands have copied, AND he fuckin nails both singing and playing live, WHILE rocking out like a mofo.:cool: I reckon that for every 1 person that would dis the man, youd get 100 people recognising him as one of the most talented trend setting musicians in the industry.:rolleyes:
