Reply #15: Having had Metallica inflicted upon me for hours in my workplace

I for one will vouch for it's torturiness.

Their lyrics (when understandable) are OK (especially compared to some), but I really wish heavy metal musicians knew more than one beat and three chords. Their guitar solos all sound alike too, they all have the Randy Rhodes speed scale problem.

Yes, I have listened to metal extensively, even liked it in the 70's and 80's before the chugging top speed playing took over, my first ex was an excellent guitar player and showed me many of the 'tricks' that are repeated ad nauseum by groups like Metallica.

That they are flattered by the use of their music, just makes them ickier.
