Metallica has been around for a long-ass time – the band formed back in 1981 and have been going pretty strong (with the exception of St. Anger) ever since.
So that’s a good 32 years of fucking shit up like shit has never been fucked up before or since. They are considered the Godfathers of Thrash along with Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth and tonight they are going to melt faces.
Through a stroke of pure luck, I got my hands on a Golden Circle ticket on Monday so tonight I plan to be about 5m from the stage, losing my mind in an ocean of thrash metal glory. METALLICA RRARGRAHRGHAGHARGAHRGAHRGAAA!
Which brings me to the central question of this post – what’s your favourite Metallica song of all time?
It’s a tricky one. I fucking love their old school shit. Take “Sanitarium†for example. How fucking badass is this live version from 2011?
And what about a classic like “Seek And Destroy� Check out this fucking SICK live performance from ‘89. Hooo-weee! If they rock this tonight, people are literally going to lose their minds.
And then there’s “Master Of Puppetsâ€. Eat your breakfast off a mirror motherfucker! RARARARARARRAARARAGAHAGHAGAHRARAAHGAH!
But to be honest, one of my favourite Metallica songs of all time is probably their cover of “Whiskey In The Jarâ€. The official music video is also seriously radass.
Check it:
Fuck yeah the 90s were awesome! Look at all those dirty girls, that’s what it was like ALL THE TIME! People just drinking and smoking and runny eyeliner all over the place and vomit and more drinking.
So what’s your favourite Metallica song of all time?
Tell Uncle Tiger.

Master of Puppets is epic, but Unforgiven always gives me chills.
The whiskey in the Jar video looks like Metallica played a lesbian house party and then were not payed so they smashed the equipment.
Also it reminds me of James as a truck driver, LArs as a porn shop owner, Newsted as the IT guy and I can’t remember what Kirk job was.
“Hero of the day” reminds me of rowing yet Metallica’s sell-out song “one” gets me.
Also that video is epic.
Agree with civilian. Unforgiven is a great song. But for pure metal nothing beats Creeping Death
I’m a die hard fan of everything Metallica, and it’s gotta be One for me hey!
“Ride the Lightning” makes me lose my mind every single time but in my old age I developed a soft-spot for “Seek and Destroy” after seeing it live.
