Best song on the Black Album?

[Zcustom]

Metallica's Black Album is an iconic album, that can't be argued. I stumbled across my old copy the other day and I forgot just how amazing one of the songs on there is, and no it's not one of the 5 major hits.

I really liked Wherever I May Roam and Of Wolf and Man, but that was when the album first came out. Not long after I remembered an interview with Lars who said "We dont need to make videos...", then there were like 5 from this CD. Couldnt respect them after that, and the fact that Bob Rock produced it. How inafu_k does Metallica get the same prodicer as MotleyCrue, Dokken and BonJovi??!!!??!?!?!??? Give me the early stuff, Ride the Lightning and Kill 'Em All still get listened to regularly, and Garage Days Re-revisited is one of the best EPs ever... RIP Mr. Burton...

I've been ignoring Lars since 1988, makes the band much more palatable. I agree with most of what you say J2, but there are a couple real gems on that album.

Enter Sandman was the best until I got tired of hearing it a week after it was released.

I always liked "Don't Tread on Me"...something about the beginning of the song hooked me.

I know it's not the cool thing to say as far as Metallica goes but I always liked the Justice for All album. H*ll they were all good up to and including the Black album at least.

lmao at "ignoring Lars"...

Its just hard for me to listen to it all between Sandman, Unforgiven and Nothing else Matters...

Precisely why I hadn't listened to it in years.

Listen to My friend of Misery. Criminally underrated.

His SNL performance was one of the best I ever saw....I love PSA and don't ever get tired of hearing it.

This is actually an interesting debate....who's "Black" album was better...Metallica or JayZ? Different tastse obvioulsy but I'll take JayZ's.

The Black album was pretty good but I felt it was teh beginning of thembecoming a commercial band as opposed to a metal band.

For my money, Kill 'em All and Master of Puppets were albums that truly showed what they are made of.

Metallica's is damn good.. but I'll most likely succumb to the same as everyone else. I prefer one music style over the other, so I'll go with Jay...

I think my favorite was with him and Eminem last year (IIRC)... or maybe it was just him, anyhow. definitely rocked it.

Wherever I may roam and the god that failed.

Master of Puppets is better.
