And you can go **** yourself. You remind me of Debbie Downer from SNL.

What\'s your point, boi? They are as mainstream as Metal can get.. They have always been a mainstream band, despite what some people think and if you look at them now, you see a washed up mainstream band. Fact is, while at one time they provided decent mainstream metal music, now\'a\'days they can\'t even do that.

Okay please don\'t place Metallica on some huge pedestal. They\'re good but they\'re no gods. I think some of their older songs are good but the last few CDs are crap imo... When they first came out, it was more like the instruments were the song with backup vocals, which is very unlikely in music, not too many bands play that way. Most bands now are led by the vocals and probably wouldnt last w/o their lead singer.

The vocals should be used as, and considered another instument.  It shouldn\'t be relegated to being a \'backup\', nor should it be the main emphasis (unless it suits such a song). IMO. I\'m not arguing with your post or anything, just chiming in.

And Metallica weren\'t always \'mainstream\'. When they first came out they were the heaviest thing since Sabbath, or Motorhead or what have you. Then Slayer came out, and out \'heavied\' them, so to speak and thus ensued a bit of a battle to be the heaviest for a few albums. It was And Justice for All that the commercialism started to creep in, and Black when they became \'mainstream\'.

I was serious about Rhapsody.

Download, \'Rhapsody - Holy Thunderforce\'

That song gives me orgasms. :shy:

Mainstream or not, they\'re one of the best bands ever, and their sales and hits show it.

Actually Vivi, LIC\'s comparison was pretty accurate.  Say what you will about them, but that\'s honestly how they are viewed amongst true metal heads, right or wrong.

And don\'t use sales to back up how good they are.  Afterall, the Backstreet Boys have had two albums that sold better than any Metalica album.

Yeah, but the Backstreet Boys are mainstream!

Metallica are on the fringe dood!!11
