^ "big 4" does not refer to music quality as many think but to popularity. Those 4 bands were the most popular in the genre.
Fade to Black is not my favorite Metallica song either. I wonder what it would do in a poll against One and Welcome Home :))))

Whilst I enjoy a couple of their albums, Metallica are the weakest of the 'Big Four' of Thrash.
Fade To Black is fine. Prefer other tracks more.

I agree with everyone here. I can't stand Mettalica, even when I started listening to metal about 25 years ago I couldn't stand them, but I must say Fade To Black is awesome!

Fade to Black sounds like Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd but then way worse. The end-solo is very cool though, but the drumming really ruins it.
I can understand that boys from the age 14-17 would love Metallica, I grew up with kids that loved the band. But I know of no-one who actually loves Metallica right now.

Well, I do like Metallica... though I haven't really liked anything since (and including) St Anger (haven't heard Lulu yet, though). However, I do love Fade to Black itself, one of my favourites from the band,

Never been a band I've liked much, they never tickled my funny-bone, not even the "classic albums"
|

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Pffft! Jethro Tull beat out Metallica with their 11th best album!

I'd reckon I'd turn this thread into a Metallica appreciation thread.
Such a talented bunch.

It's a Pavlov reaction. I'm quite allergic to anything relating Iron Maiden and Metallica. I'm foaming at the mouth right now....
