Metallica

I really like Metallica. I liked Metallica before I considered metal a worthy genre. Someone told me they hated them because of the perfect 4:4 timing and the cyclic riffs. I think this is why I like it. It's perfect musical construction. It's fast. It's well written and well played. And, their best songs ALWAYS have a message.

Listen to these

Creeping Death - Ride the Lightning - about the Angel of Death, and the final plague over Egypt; inspired by the very old movie "The Ten Comandments."

Nothing Else Matters - Black Album

Ride the Lightning -Ride the Lightning - written to be seen as the final thoughts of a mentally insane death row criminal right before death.

Disposable Heroes - Master of Puppets - written about soldiers and how it effects them

One - And Justice For All... - written about Johnny Got His Gun; also written about how war effects soldiers.

Master of Puppets - Master of Puppets - written about how drugs can manipulate someone. Arguably about being a slave to control.
