Metallica is one of my top 3 favorite bands of all time and therefore theres no such thing as Best Song ... theres no such thing for any good band. metallica has over 70 songs that i consider favorites.
i cant decide between MoP and One and and and... each song has its charm and they all fucking ace.
P.S. Dyers Eve is is a very very badass song \m/ love those riffs
@Atramentous: What's wrong with "new" Metallica songs? Death Magnetic is fantastic, regardless of their other albums. If nothing else it's a positive return to form.
@Atramentous: Well then frankly your missing out, there's some really cool stuff on there. And music is totally subjective, and Fuel is one of my favorite songs. Sorry you feel that way man.
I havent listened to that album(nor will I). I was refering to the mention of "fuel" as one of the best songs.

It's worth a listen. Considering they don't have the same mindset and life experiences that they did when they wrote their first four albums, a "return" to form isn't expected, but it's in the same category as the black album - thrashy enough to make you want more, with enough simple pop hooks to land the mainstream crowd.
I was annoyed that they advertised it as a return to form, using all the really awesome riffs in the promotional stuff, then the actual songs ended up having those riffs nestled in a nice little pile of new Metallica hard rock.
Im honestly over them at this point. I doubt I will buy anything new from them.
I hate the newer stuff so much. I grew up with the old stuff. I waited in line for hours at midnight to get Load just to be let down. I remember thinging to myself "what the hell is this?". Then I did it all over again for re-load. Sgt. Bad-mastering I didnt even bother getting, I borrowed it and gave it back the next day.
Meh, its too late. I have found bigger and better. No need to go after a sub-par version of a band I liked. I will enjoy the old stuff, but I will leave the new stuff to others that maybee didnt have as high of expectations as I did.
Decent. But compared to their old stuff (KeA, RtL, AJFA), pretty bad.

Re-load, sure, I'll give you that. But load, imo, was pretty good (especially King Nothing and Ain't My Bitch). I don't care for DM, and while I will definitely not change the station when it comes on the radio, I won't listen to any of it or download it anywhere else. And St. Anger, well, let's not go there.
My jaw dropped when people listed "new" metallica songs =/
Honestly, I think Load and Reload are their best studio records, but that is the era that I started listening to them so maybe I am biased.
Hero of the Day, Battery, and Bleeding Me are my big 3. I would have probably said Stone Cold Crazy, Whiskey in the Jar, or Tuesday's Gone in there but I didn't consider covers for the purposes of this thread.
Leper Messiah, Ride The Lightning, Fight Fire With Fire, Creeping Death, their cover of Am I Evil by Diamond Head, and Welcome Home (Sanitarium).
Of course, I like a lot more than just that. But those I tend to listen to more than others. Ride The Lightning is my favorite album by them, followed by Master of Puppets and then ...And Justice For All. The only albums I don't own are Kill Em All and St. Anger. But I like Kill Em All from what I've heard.
Dude your my fucking hero!Whats the best Megadeth song you posers! "
Tornado of Souls. Not as big of a Megadeth fan, though."
Your a Death fan but you like Metallica more then Megadeth : (Nice pick though ; ) "
Their thrashy stuff is still good, I just never got into them as much as Metallica's thrash. We're going to ignore both of their sell-out periods for the sake of this conversation. :V
As far as thrash goes, though, I'm more of a Slayer/Sepultura/Kreator kind of guy. Love that raw, death metal-esque edge they bring to the table.

Fucking love Kreator and Sepultura man, and I just seen Slayer live. Oh and about the bands selling out, Megadeths "Sell-out" Albums are a lot better and less "Sell-out- in my opinion, just listen to TIme:The beginning from Risk, great fucking song, but I understand where your coming from.
