FORMED: 1981, Los Angeles, CA The most consistently innovative metal band of the late 80s and 90s was formed in 1981 in California, USA, by Lars Ulrich (b. 26 December 1963, Copenhagen, Denmark; drums) and James Alan Hetfield (b. 3 August 1963, USA; guitar/vocals) after each separately advertised for fellow musicians in the classified section of American publication The Recycler. They recorded their first demo, No Life Til' Leather, with Lloyd Grand (guitar), who was replaced in January 1982 by David Mustaine (b. 13 September 1961, La Mesa, California, USA), whose relationship with Ulrich and Hetfield proved unsatisfactory. Jef Warner (guitar) and Ron McGovney (bass) each had a brief tenure with the band. At the end of 1982 Clifford Lee Burton (b. 10 February More... (Submit New Metallica Lyrics) (Submit New Metallica Lyrics) This is my life | Reviewer: Josh ------ About the song The Unforgiven performed by Metallica For me it is about my family running my life and not letting me have a life of my own. Every since I was a kid my grandmother, mother and my sister have ruled my life with their thoughts their big BS and being so controlling. I not not suppose to have friends not suppose to go anywhere not suppose to have a life outside of them. The older I get the more bitter I become for all the fun I could have had without my controlling family. DOYLE KOWTAK | Reviewer: Doyle Kowtak ------ About the song One performed by Metallica Metallica almost abet rock? my mom told me to listen to HEAY METAL? but I don't have any heavy metal cds there no cds in Arviat Nunavut. I mean like Heavy Metall. my po box is 407 XOC-OEO phone number (867)-857-2064. House number 498. Alcoholism | Reviewer: Danish ------ About the song Sweet Amber performed by Metallica Well, James got treated for alcoholism. He was very fond of Jack Daniels as I understand (The House That Jack Build, anyone?). Whiskey is amber-colored - and since this song is written right after his rehab, it's safe to believe that's what this song is about. My guess anyway… Metallica.! | Reviewer: Ren ------ About the song Of Wolf And Man performed by Metallica OK some of you are just so ignorant that you have NO IDEA what the song is about. Few of you are right. It IS about WEREWOLVES. RETARDS.! Shape shift...new day's mist... are you people that stupid??? That is what I have to say. I LOVE THIS SONG. Richeous Ren battery | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song ...And Justice for All performed by Metallica this song.. they wrote it in anger, in bitter.. they were disappointed with system.. it's because of cliff.. the court did not took in consider some testimonies of band.. i think it was the thing that driver was drunk when bus flipped.. that's why this song was made.. and it is absolutely true, unfortunately. Matman | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The House That Jack Built performed by Metallica Fantastic song, with great riffs, solos, and vocal work. I agree that the song is relating to the warped world of alcoholism (specifaclly J.D.ism) and the demons you meet there, and what it does to your mind and body. But more specifically than that, I think its about before going on stage. Waiting to start the show, with all the anxiety and nerves building up. It gets too much, so you reach for the bottle that'll make it all go away. You can become someone else so you are capable of doing the show, as you believe you're not strong enough to do it by yourself. Open door so I walk inside, signifies the open bottle. Swallow me so the pain subsides - the demons of the bottle tempting you to drown your sorrows. And I shake as I take it in - A shiver of mixed pleasure and defeat as you give in to the effects of the drink. Let the show begin - Now he's ready to go on stage. Also, Don't want control, as it takes me down. He doesn't want too much control over the crowd, as he's afraid of the reponsibility, and doesn't want to get comfortable with having that kind of control as he doesn't know what it would do to him, or what he would become. Hence, Is that you there, or just another demon that I meet? I've always imagined Het. staring into a mirror before he goes on stage, wondering whether it actually himself he's looking at, or something else that he's become (The Demon). Well. thats my take on it, anyway. :) death of all men | Reviewer: chris foster ------ About the song The Four Horsemen performed by Metallica the four horsemen reprsent that time will always catch up on man and make him pay for the sins he has committed. they represent death for sinners and death to all who have betrayed god and the almighty power he controls.so basically it is the most gruesome way to die as thought by some people:being abducted while you sleep by the representitives of death. christianity | Reviewer: Danny ------ About the song Leper Messiah performed by Metallica True Christianity does not start wars. Anybody who simply reads the words of Jesus will see that any war fought in His name, He could have condemned. The Apostle Paul says that our war is against the invisible forces of the world, not against flessh and blood (Ephesians 6). People twisted Christianity so they could start wars, such as the Crusades. People also twist it to get money out of peoples pockets. Christianity down to its most basic teachings is about God reconciling the world to Himself. Also, all the religions of the world cannot be right. All of them say things that make each one inherently contradictory. Jesus claimed to be the only way to heaven. That is an exclusive statement meaining there is no salvation outside of Him. Truth by definition is exclusive. Only one can be right in the end. If you study the evidence with an open mind you will see for yourself how it leads to Christianity being the Truth. oh fuck where to begin... | Reviewer: Mullet_Boi ------ About the song Master of Puppets performed by Metallica i was beating my computer screen when i went back and saw what everyone thought the song meant. All who say 'it means what we want it to mean', youre all just fuckin stupid All who say its about politics or someone controlling your life, i can see where youre coming from, but im sorry to say that you are wrong. Anonymous | 8/23/2008, who said its about 'satan' controlling one's life, well, I can see from reviewer 'Bunny' that people who are actually literally on drugs can still see what the song really means so i dont know what you must be on... OH WAIT I KNOW-- you are on religion, more mind-altering than any drug, more imprisoning than any iron bars. Yes my friend, religion has poisoned your mind. This song is the title song of the greatest album to grace the ears of mankind. Bravo Metallica. Rest in peace Cliff Burton. PEACE Rock Band 2 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Battery performed by Metallica Wow, when I saw the list for Rock Band 2 songs I saw Metallica and I've never heard this song until i looked it up. This song is amazing, the guitar is blazing, the drums are actually keeping up with the guitar. This song is all around crazy. One of my new favorite songs. mullet boi | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song One performed by Metallica this message is for "mullet boi" i cant believe you would say such a stupid fucking thing. that this song doesnt mean different things for different people. clearly you donno what the fuck your talking about and that kid is not the only one with a cock down his throat. a band writes a song and the way they write it means something for them and is up to us to take meaning from it. whatever we see in the lyrics of the thats what we take from it. everyone has different opinions about different things. and i respect your opinion on this song but that doesnt mean you should bash other people for what they feel this song is about regardless of what it sounds like to you. Until It Sleeps | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Until It Sleeps performed by Metallica when i turn 18 i will be getting a tattoo with the words 'Until It Sleeps'. this song means so much to me. i was 15 when i got hodgkins lymphoma. best and worst experience of my life. no one should go through what i have been through. unforgiven | Reviewer: Kaveman ------ About the song The Unforgiven performed by Metallica yea i am with the person who stated on 6/27/2008, hell with job money and fame the dark age is the best age a man could live, to live free i mean to live freely freedom and not know when death comes this song ... rocks | Reviewer: stanislav ------ About the song Devil's Dance performed by Metallica hey .. how are you .... it's realy good to see james and kirk here ... a lot ... so ... the song is awsome .. it's my favorite ... almost favorite ... and i like every metallica song and i know a lot of song's lyrics ... and the new demo 2008 the songs are realy good ... (rock) and metallica in bulgaria ... wow ... they were great ... !! That old man here is me | Reviewer: Dae ------ About the song The Unforgiven performed by Metallica For me this song means a sort of passage trough life One is born into this world pure gets filled by ideals however finds it near impossible to fulfil them all as his elders rarely do so how can a child be expected to? /And quickly he's subdued Soon one finds that there are ways to please others outside of these ideals (e.g. lying and such) /The young boy learns their rules In one's life there are people that (maybe not on purpose) make him feel bad (like teachers, bosses, parents, siblings) by having many requests, not being satisfied by his results etc. and it is these people that are IMO the Unforgiven Thus one can hardly be himself, always having to do as expected /Never free, never me When one is finaly old enough to undertand his childish ideals he finds that he has abandoned them and finds it very hard to pick them up again (perhaps this frustration leads to becoming someone's "unforgiven") And finaly (the battle may be long as it may be short) he gives up these ideals and simply doesn't care anymore (things like truth, justice, humanity, benevolence are just words to him) and loses a general purpose in life /The old man then prepares To die regretfully Then perhaps when you hear this tale you realize "That old man here is me" btw I find myself to be in the "old man" stage of my life already and I'm going to turn 20 next week Song meaning? | Reviewer: A Metallifuk ------ About the song Sweet Amber performed by Metallica I read the lyrics, and I come to think about drug/alcohol addiction. The way the lyrics come to me I think of them as a acronym for the various addictions he has had Alcohol Methamphetamines Blow Ecstacy Rock "Its never as sweet as it seems" some review | Reviewer: some person ------ About the song Unnamed Feeling performed by Metallica 5 years and this fight whether st. anger is a good album or not is still on. several great compositions, some songs to just fill up the numbers. all arrangements have been worked on in a jamming style, which is somehow a good method, but compromising in comparison with sitting and discussing the details. some songs have really nice arrangements, like "dirty window", "my world" and "the unnamed feeling". awful production, no thought about making it sound all nice and commercial like the black album at all. no sound engineering, just the very very raw sound of the band+ james' voice which is somehow inapropriate for that kind of style of singing. furthermore, the melody of his singing is sometimes very original, but sometimes very very trite, because i am 99% sure his singing was just the best improvisation he would come up with while jamming with the band. the base guitar player is awsome and brings soo much anger into "st. anger", although he is an ex-funk music player. incredible lyrics with which james hetfield opens up his heart secretly and few understand what he means, but he declares it to the public in a very secretive and yet open way. for all those who discuss metallica selling themselves commercial, they can read the lyrics of the album and learn about james' struggle to be true to himself. i think it is very difficult not to sell urself for money when u are that popular, the temptation is enourmous, but i dont like the people who mess in the stars' decision whether to do it or not. first the stars are heroes, because they create these and these songs, and then they are vilains because they do what most of us would do anyway if we were in their shoes - try to make as much money as possible. the choice what music to listen to is ours and we can turn to whatever non-commercial artists we want, there are thousands of thousands of them. furthermore, if any fans lie to themselves that metallica wasnt trying to be commercial in "ride the lightning, master of puppets", "and justice for all", etc. and then with a magical wand sold themselves in "load", "reload" and so on, i hate to break it upon u, but metallica, as every famous artist, ALWAYS THOUGHT about hundreds of non-music beneficial issues like "how long shud this solo be? let's make the solos in this album about 30 seconds, medium aggression, some very fast picking to impress the teens and then not use too many different scales and stick to the pentatonic so that we dont make it too complicated", and hundreds and hundreds of similar considerations made during the production of an album. yes, of course even during the "non-commercial" 80s. and yes, if u want metallica not to sell themselves so much, if u just want them to enjoy themselves and play whatever music brings them joy, i dont think that they wud even be playing metal music at all, i am 100% sure that kirk hammet plays completely different styles of music for enjoyment and just tries to enjoy his life of a star too, entertaining the crowds, giving them what they want and enjoying the attention and money. i also want to express my dissaporval of the 2 completely opposite oppinions that dominate: 1. "st.anger" is disgusting, and 2nd., "st.anger" is awesome, u r not a true metallica fan if u dont love all their albums. well of course i am not a true metallica fan then. i dont suffer from these stupid complexes that i shud like everything. there are sooo many great artists out there with a different sound than metal music, it is cynical to lie to urself that everything by metallica is great when u compare it to some piece of music that required a huuuge deal of work, like "blue powder" by steve vai, for example. y is it so shameful to confess that musicians are human and sometimes they work harder on their music and receive better results, and sometimes they dont put in as much work and receive poor critique, is it that bad? y do we have double standards - if we dont put enough work into something we know that we dont deserve good results, but metallica are special, they r not humans, and when they make som e song or a whole album faster or commercial, they need special protection and they still deserve good results. "st. anger" is neither disgusting nor awesome. i personally can enjoy from time to time, once in some months, some of the songs in the album, coz i can hear past the poor production and the fast recording process and just enjoy the compositions, the energy, and sometimes th raw sound. call it whatever u want. Sanitarium is the fucking shit!!!!! | Reviewer: Jared Sanity ------ About the song Sanitarium performed by Metallica (To Samantha) I'm also a fellow Limp Bizkit fan as well. I understand that the LB can't live up to Metallica, but like this is one of the best covers I heard of a Metallica song. The DJing in the song is just Limp Bizkit bein themselves. To me it sounds nothing like Hip-Hop. It sounds like Limp Bizkit to me. But it's whatever. This is definitley one of my favorite Metallica songs next to "Master Of Puppets" and "I Disappear". Metallica lives on. LEAVE ME ALONE!!! open your minds | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Unnamed Feeling performed by Metallica i love what some people say about this album, but the people that are talking about it like its crap, well you need to realized, this was metallica's experimental album if you will, ok so they wanted to try somthing new with the guitars, i dont blame them, every one is so into nu metal that they wanted to see if maybe they could try it and make it work, and personally i think they did, from a lyrical stand point this album is way better than all their other music, it has so much passion and meaning to every song, so what it may not make sense to you or it may not please your ears but if you knew the kind of problems these guys had and still havem, you would know that there is years of anger and rage that they just needed to express, either way, every song by metallica is amazing and their music has influenced so many bands, cant wait for death magnetic, sept 12 metallica rules!!! No... | Reviewer: Dan ------ About the song The Unforgiven performed by Metallica The dude below me I actually agree with everything you stated except during your *one* explanation because you contradict everything... you say you do not have control of your life? yet you say your mind controls your life as well... well you can control your mind it just isnt easy you need to know how... so that expo confused me and maybe Ive interpreted this wrong idk... but it does sound like a lot of truth in what you spoke You could review the artist/band Metallica in Biography page You could review Metallica album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Metallica song by clicking the song which you like | | ||||||||||
