I saw them in concert in 2011, pretty boring. I've listened to Rust and Peace Sells several times and still can't get into them.

I feel like it is worth mentioning that Anthrax, who many consider inferior, was terrific live when I saw them last summer

That's kind of funny. My brother said that that was the song that finally turned him off of the band. He's a Black Album hater...

Well this was when I was pretty young and hadn't been exposed to metal at all. I didn't have the perspective that I do now. I don't like the Black Album anymore. I'm actually kind of tired of Metallica in general

Did not venture deep into other metals, but Iron Maiden-Run To The Hills is what got into listening into the older heavy metal bands like Maiden,Metallica,Slayer, Anthrax etc.

I was about 8 or 9 when my first real memory of metal came back, and that is of Linkin Park who are now my favorite band but there was a long time for about 5 years when I hated metal and all spin offs but when I saw the new LP album advertised on tv, I just wanted it not really knowing why and BAM!! Im a metal junkie again xD

So yeah... Linkin Park basically, but if we are on about METAL-METAL then for sure is AskingAlexandria!!<3

I don't think the new LP album can count as metal.
