Comment:

We know, we know — it's hard to look at Metallica as a bunch of fanboys when they're one of the world's biggest rock bands. But here's the thing: they bonded over stacks of records from the very beginning, when drummer Lars Ulrich's want ad made it abundantly clear that mascara-packing pretty boys need not apply. Instead, the group knew [i]exactly[/i] what they wanted — to storm hard rock's glossy gates and make the arena-ready anthems of Maiden ("Run to the Hills") and Priest ("Rapid Fire") even [i]more[/i] brutal. And what better place to search for inspiration than the raw power of the Stooges ("Down On the Street"), the hey-ho-let's-go hooks of the Ramones ("I Wanna Be Sedated"), and the rapid-fire riffs of Diamond Head ("Lightning to the Nations")? Tearing through those songs at rehearsals must've been like sparking a dozen powder kegs and watching the place go up in flames. And yet Metallica's search-and-destroy mission didn't end there — they built up an arsenal of battering-ram tracks from influences as diverse as Deep Purple and Discharge, Mercyful Fate and the Misfits — all of whom are ready to ravage your iPod right here.
