------ About the song Disposable Heroes performed by Metallica
this song is mainly about how the government controls everything(having to do with the army) and how you can get sucked into such harsh conditions and be stuck there without control(servant til i fall).......it also depicts a message of hopelessness once in the army and shows that it is not all it's thought up to be....another song war ensemble, has to do with the grusomeness of war as well..........
For Whom the Bell Tolls | Reviewer: David
------ About the song For Whom the Bell Tolls performed by Metallica
This song has to be one of the most incredible songs of all time, the vocal melody in the verses is just mindblowing, but no one ever seems to point out that it sounds like there is supposed to be a second part to the song
Best of the best. | Reviewer: Zack
------ About the song Sanitarium performed by Metallica
This in my opinion is metallicas most meaningful song. It pretty much explains the last 3 years of my life which has such an effect whenever i listen to it. I do wish they did make more songs that had the creepy feel with a meaning behind it. It seems now-a-days modern music has no meaning behind simply cramming a bunch of words that make no sense together.
Overall i believe this may be Metallicas best song.
yeah. | Reviewer: rewwr
------ About the song Battery performed by Metallica

------ About the song Leper Messiah performed by Metallica
You said all other religions contradict themselves and that Christianity has been proven to be the truth. I'm paraphrasing but it is what you said. And in response I offer a few contradictions of Christianity. A) the bible states "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." It also states turn the other cheek. I'm not really sure, but that sounds pretty contardictory to me. B) god is benevolent(good), omnipotant and all powerful. That means he knows all and sees all. Even the future. He also created everything, including lucifer, the angel that would one day become Satan. Being the all-knowing deity that he is, god created an angel that he knew would one day be the scourge of the earth and the gateway through which all evil would enter the world. He knowingly and willingly created the one thing that would lead man astray from him. God introduced evil into the world, god inderectly led men to hell, the benevolent, all powerful, all seeing, all merciful god, decided to watch men fight, to create a way for men to go wrong. That also seems pretty contradictory. C) Why did he do it?? Well our tiny brains could not possibly handle that kind of information so he won't tell us.
I don't know how the he'll you think you're gonna back up that it has been proven, but it doesn't really matter because it hasn't been and it never will be. Your religion is not perfect. It takes itelligent minds and feeds them crap, it slows down the progress of mankind by acknowledging a made up story as the one truth behind life. You have the freedom to believe whatever your dumb ass wants but as for the rest of us, we're gonna try and find the real answer. So have fun in heaven asshole, cuz I'm gonna party with Satan in hell.

------ About the song Sanitarium performed by Metallica
i know this song is about some sort of mental control, but perhaps it has a lot to do with how people (particularly soldiers) struggle with war trauma.
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred - doesnt seem like a mental institution.
Natives getting restless now - vietnam war?
also, a common motif foudn in the master of puppets album is war, along with control.

------ About the song Fuel performed by Metallica
They didn't sell out. What, do you expect them to play the same stuff on EVERY album? That get's boring for everyone. Listen to all the albums, all of them sound a little different. This song is the bomb. Everyone knows it.
So accept it. (:
Metallica vs Megadeath? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song For Whom the Bell Tolls performed by Metallica
I just think that there's no point in trying to see which one is better, this is just a taste matter, if you like Metallica, you must like them for how you feel with their songs, not because they have better techniques or better muscians, the same for the ones that like Megadeath. C'mon since when the music is about science?
Guys thanks for the lyrics, keep up the good work!

------ About the song Harvester of Sorrow performed by Metallica
Half you people hate on Load and St Anger as if it wasnt even Metallica that made it. So they sound different. Big deal. Load is a fucking awesome album. Just b/c it isn't 'thrash' doesnt make it shit. A lot of you are pretty fucking close minded.

------ About the song So What performed by Metallica
This is a cool song. It was originally done by Anti-Nowhere League. This is what iTunes says about the song...
"and especially 'so what' (the song whose social -comment filthliness got it banned in England by Scotland Yard - no kidding, they raided the warehouse and confiscated all the singles!)"
Another Kick-ass Song! | Reviewer: August
------ About the song That Was Just Your Life performed by Metallica
Metallica shows us once again just how hard they rock, and just how awesome their music is. All of Death Magnetic is incredible, and includes some of their best works.
And *ahem* David, where is your mention of the Black Album on your list of Metallica's best?
a correction... | Reviewer: Steevo ballin'
------ About the song Hit the Lights performed by Metallica
First of all I want to get this out of the way... this song kicks ass. a lot of ass. however some people are saying that this was the first ever written metallica song. That's actually false. This was the first song on their '83 album kill 'em all however 2 years earlier in 1981 lars ulrich and james hetfield were the only members in metallica. They decided to create a "demo tape single" featuring seek and destroy. just wanted to clear the air...
Voice | Reviewer: J0kerking
------ About the song Until It Sleeps performed by Metallica
Why do people diss on Load and Reload? You cant blame James for losing his voice, can you? Im surprised he had it for so long. Sure I wish he still had it, but its not like he doesnt sound great anymore. Other bands might have broken up, but Metallica stayed strong! They've lost a lot.. Cliff, Voice, hair. Hah but theyre still in there and doing good!
The Albums! | Reviewer: J0kerking
------ About the song Disposable Heroes performed by Metallica
Its weird how people think Master of Puppets is all about drugs and their control. But the album was about just controlling things. This song for example was about the governments control over the soldiers.. Puppets was about drugs.. and Leper Messiah was religion. I love how the early Metallica albums had themes! Like Master was about control.. Justice was all about our freedoms. Its just so greet! It gives song lots of meaning.
headbanger's psalm! | Reviewer: mezz
------ About the song Blackened performed by Metallica
we can ALL agree that it's safe to say St. Anger was the crappiest album they ever released...but the 90s weren't a bad period of Metallica...so what if they changed? they still had that bit of inspirational power in the 90s albums with songs like Enter Sandman, King Nothing and Fuel. all it lacked was that galloping tempos and that stuff in songs like Battery or Fight Fire With Fire or Blackened that completely take you by surprise. that's what the "true" Metallica fans like. as for me, i am in complete love and devotion for all of Metallica's material with the exception of St. Anger; i was 12 when i bought that album and oh what a waste of 77 minutes were they (ok i'm being harsh, Some Kinda Monster wasn't bad)...Master Of Puppets would be the best album and it's a toss-up between Battery, Fight Fire With Fire and Blackened for best Metallica song. however they come at you or whatever they sing it's Metallica and they spank fire into you! \m/
Cause She's Unforgiven Too | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Unforgiven II performed by Metallica
its about two people that had a relationship in the past and it ended sour with both of them getting deeply hurt because they had both been deeply hurt in the past by others and would not open their hearts to each other for fear of being hurt again. however, they both love each other but shut each other out (behind the door) to avoid getting their hearts broken again. "cause you're unforgiven too" means neither person was able to forgive the other for breaking their heart the first time. so they don't trust each other anymore because they are too scared to get their hearts broken again because they don't know if their love will be returned, or if they will be just shut out again (behind the door). At the end of the song the speaker says he sees the sun shining through which is the love for her in his heart, he has forgiven her, but he will not open the door for her because he is too scared to get hurt so he "burys the key in her" because she is the one he loves, so if she really does love him in return she can come back to him and open his door.

Metaldude.... I love metal and hard rock, i love Iron Maiden, Metallica (I think that they're the best), Tool, Slayer, Trivium, Motorhead, Megadeth, AC/DC...
But i also hear My chemical romance,, three days grace, Setheer, the used, AFI and other alternative rock bands then you said that i'm a looser?
This song RULES! | Reviewer: Richard
------ About the song Hit the Lights performed by Metallica
Nerghul, they didn't change the name because they thought it would be censored. They changed it because the record company wouldn't put out an album with that much profanity on the cover. So, it was either, change the name, or have no album at all.
