For Whom The Bell POLLS - Votes & Nominations Thread for the // METALLICA \\ ILM Artist Poll (Voting Closed)

Just now realized that the title of Garage Inc is a pun on Damage Inc and wow, that's a stinker.

oh yeah it sounds fucking hideous, there are parts of "that was just your life" that are just pure distortion

I own the CD, but I don't think I've ever actually listened to it, because I downloaded the Guitar Hero version, which is much cleaner.

Reminder: Votes due this Thursday night (US/CDT) at ForWhomThe at Lycos.com.

oh there are some really sweet jason bass runs in this old live version of "justice" i'm listening to

I must have heard 'Blackened' hundreds upon hundreds of times, and I'm still not bored of it. It's one of those tracks that for some reason has always felt as potent to me as the first time I ever heard it.

i also listened to no life til leather for the first time today and idk how accurate this is bc they were contemporaneous but 1982 hetfield seems to be really going for a king diamond effect

Hey what happened to Pushead?

Went into childrens book illustrating around 2003. Currently an associate designer with Slate.com.

(Actually, I have no idea: Despite his extensive and recognizable work, Pushead keeps a low profile; he has no official website and interviews with him are a rare commodity.)

didn't revisit the whole of load until after submitting my ballot and i regret not voting for "ain't my bitch"

the rare banjo cover that exceeds expectations:

Wait a minute. I recognized that guy.

Except I loathe "Hero of the Day."

imo this is a shame

pls excuse me while i tend 2 how i feel

55 or so more hours for votes at ForWhomThe @ Lycos.com!

Is the Lycos addy a '90s nostalgia thing?

I have like six gmail addresses that show up on my screen when I'm logged out. Couldn't deal with another.

And I'm the only one who thinks For Whom The Lycos is funny, I know this, it's ok, I go to court when I have to.

oh shit i need to prep my ballot

I think the lycos.com thing is hilarious.

I'm going to amend the poll title to indicate that it closes tomorrow. How many ballots do you have so far, pp?

Thanks for that.

Ten ballots so far – one for every member if you include Lou and Bob.

Pretty sure everything's cool, but if you submitted a ballot and did not receive a reply from me, do let me know.

that backwards 'Enter Sandman' cover is brain-busting.

A Garage Days longbox, now that takes me back.

Hey, I was thinking of submitting a ballot, but it depends on one thing: can I vote for "For Whom the Bell Tolls (The Irony of It All)" by Metallica & DJ Spooky from the Spawn soundtrack?

omg

ballot sent \m/

Tuomas - Yes, you can submit that, but it'll count toward the original version. It was officially released by Metallica though.

never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for bee gee

Quick reminder: All votes must be in at ForWhomThe @ Lycos.com by 2300 US/CDT – 15.5 hours from the time stamped on this post.

sent!

Just browsing some Metallifacts in preperation, did you know Until it Sleeps was a number one single in Australia and Finland?

I did not know that.

Just sent my ballot in. Lots of old stuff and far too many covers but in my defense Metallica did excellent covers.

voted! \m/

my ballot is pretty much old-timer city

Probably still the best post I've made on ILX:

i only just realized the other day that it was a top 10 hit on the Hot 100 (their only one). there will be a lot of 90s sellout 'Tallica on my ballot but definitely not "Until It Sleeps."

I don't detest >1990 Metallica but including any of those songs would've bumped off a much better song of 80s Metallica.

yeh iirc it was all over the radio

realizing now thats prob how it made my ballot lol

i admire "until it sleeps" for foregrounding its bass line but almost every song on reload is better than it

some dude and i are brothers in metallica

i will forever be grateful to Bob Rock for teaching Metallica about the values of repetition and singing like a cartoon pirate

Relistening to Until it Sleeps, it's a well written song with some nice melodies and dynamics, but the guitars are piss-weak, which is unforgivable in a Metallica track.

it ain't my biiiitch-CHA

the guitars are weak but also it's one of those times when Lars tries to play with a 'light touch' and the results are just ghastly

This is one of my favorite most-underreated threads on ILM:
List the parallels between Metallica and REM
