Most of those books that I've seen tend to be inaccurate.

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Steve Vai - Alien Love Secrets
Van Halen - 5150
Dream Theater - Images & Words

Maybe you don't need such books if you have perfect pitch ... but even then it's nice to see the riffs "spelled out" for you.
 
...and you're missing "AJFA"... Wink

^ my guitar teacher supplied me with transcriptions of other vital Metallica songs:

Jump in the Fire (thanks Dave Mustaine!)
Seek & Destroy
Am I Evil (ok, it's Diamond Head)
Blitzkrieg
Harvester of Sorrow
One
Eye of the Beholder
Sad But True
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman

And I could play all of them ... with the exception of most solos which I frankly was too lazy to practice!Big%20smile

My friend played me some songs. Not as heavy as I expected, it sounded like classic rock to me. Black Sabbath are 1000000 times better.

That's true ... they contain glitches and errors. But I don't mind, they're rare and without the book/transcription it would take much, much longer to learn the song.

well, it depends on the era. Early METALLICA (83-88) is quite metalish, influental and proggy. I'd say Prog-Related, and only because of this era.

So now we're just discussing where to include them?

Just like Megadeth, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, Metallica's already acknowledged in the History of Progressive Metal text. I'm all for Andu's suggestion. There's a lot of info here that could make that text better. Undoubtly most people think of Metallica as a band mainly belonging in a non-prog genre, but still related and very influential to Prog-Metal. Very much in  the same way Black Sabbath is historically important to PM, and desereves a mention.

I think the Wizard is saying Sabbath kick the living sh*t out of Metallica on almost every level... but I could be wrong

^If we were discussing "Load", "ReLoad" and "St. Upid" (which are about as prog as "Love Beach", "Big Generator", "Under Raps", "We Can't Dance" or "Technical Travesty"), then the Wizard would be making an accurate statement.
 
Anything prior to those aforementioned disasters, and I would suggest that it is Metallica who do the kicking... Wink

Yes, Sabbath are a legend with Ozzy as the Icon. Metallica, though, are the ones that stand as the standard in inventive heavy metal. Sales wise, success wise, & influence wise that have surpassed all but Led Zep in the heavy duty sweepstakes. And if "progginess" were the determining factor, well ... Sabbath were not exactly prog monsters. Whereas a listen to Master of Puppets & And Justice for All clearly exhibit many prog qualities - time / tempo changes, multi part suites (although not the 20 minute version), and "deep" lyrics. Apart from some dissonant chord changes & the occasional "jazzy" interludes, not much of Sabbath come close to prog.
Now for those who think this biased, I am more of a fan of Black Sabbath than Metallica.

The Admin team considered the addition of Metallca very carefully. In the end, we could not come to a decision we could all agree on, so the matter was referred to M@x for the final say. He has come back with a very definite no. Metallica will not therefore be added.

No matter what the decision was, it was always going to be controversial. I'm sure those who were for them being added will respect the final decision, even though they disagree with it.
