Deez POLLABLE Heroes - THE ILM //METALLICA\\ POLL RESULTS

how do I tell Jaymz I hate the paint job on his car-inspired guitar

what was the first Metallica release everybody owned?

for me it was the cd single of "One/Eye of the Beholder", cos it was all I could afford with my allowance and my mom didn't want me using her money to buy "Metallica" albums even though she had no fucking idea who they were.

First owned an audio dub of the One video that I made by holding a cassette recorder up to the TV (also got "We Want Eazy" by Eazy-E and "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen that day). Next bought a cassingle of One/The Prince. Then I bought MOP and AJFA on the same day.

Also, realized I was wrong upthread about Blackened being the first Metallica song I ever heard. I must have been getting my facts wrong in the excitement of the poll.

I really missed out. had I given a shit at the time, I coulda had several of my classmates dub me copies of their Metallica albums, but I was listening pretty much to MC Hammer between 1988-1991 and Aerosmith/Ace of Base by 1993. didn't even get the black album til 1995 :/

I do remember waiting up to hear "Until It Sleeps" the night it dropped (at the time I liked it)...and then did the same for Re-Load.

at first, during the intro, I was all like

and then the verse riff came in and I was like

My first 'tallica was probably AJFA and then the Black Album.

I had Kill 'Em All (and the "Jump in the Fire" 12") on vinyl, but never owned Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets. Picked up again with the $5.98 EP on cassette, then ...And Justice For All on vinyl (preceded by the "Eye of the Beholder" cassette single). I think I had the Black Album on cassette, then never bought anything else until Death Magnetic on CD.

Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield from Metallica came over and we did some outrageous partying. Sally was there and I remember there was a girl that James wanted to fuck and I let him take her into my bedroom. They were in there for a while and I had to get in there to get something, so I crept in quietly and saw James head-fucking her. He was standing on the bed, ramming her head against the wall, moaning in that thunderous voice of his, just slamming away, and bellowing "That'll be fine! That'll be fine! Yes! That'll be fine!"

is this wishful thinking, or did someone once make an ambient Metallica mix of all their pretty classical intros and baroque breakdowns?

Did a little searching to no avail, but did find this!
