Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Metallica at their worst (slick hair and suit era/trashcan snare Lars) or Motley Crue at ther best (Girls, Girls, Girls/Home Sweet Home) Serious question.

Members Beyer160 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Is there a third option? Logically it'd have to be Metallica, since there was a time where they didn't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Metallica (RTL, AJFA, etc..) doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman3001 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 That era of Crue was not even close to their best. Shout At The Devil was their best work. And Metallica....jeez...where to begin. Master of Puppets is about all I can tolerate from them. That album was a masterpiece, imo, but most of the rest of their stuff was just meh....and some of it downright sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Early Crue is my teen years, Shout At The Devil. That was cool, or I was just high. I voted Spoon Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr. Scottie C Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I guess I am a freakin oddball here..... I thought old Metallica and later Metallica sucked ass..... Only could tolerate the Black Album & Load......but REALLY hate the 1st 3 albums .....yeah, yeah....I know that is sacrilegious to most....but I hated Kill em', Lightning, and Puppets..... BAD. With Crue..... I like most of the hits and pretty much the whole Dr. Feelgood album. So I am Motley Crue > Metallica .....as far as Spoooooon mannnn...... that was the weakest song on Superunknown.... Black Days, Black Hole Sun and My wave off the same LP are all solid.

Members noisebloom Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I personally think Motley Crue peaked with Too Fast for Love, and I can easily say I prefer that record over Metallica's worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beyer160 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 And you have to choose sucky Metallica. Real Metallica (RTL, AJFA, etc..) doesn't count. But, 3/4 of sucky Metallica were "real" Metallica. Since there never was a "good" Motley Crue, sucky Metallica wins by default. I still voted Spoonman, though.

Members cratz2 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 You actually thought Motley Crue peaked with Girls, Girls, Girls? Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil, man... Having said that, if the only options were Metallica circa Load/Reload/St Anger or Motley Crue circa Theater of Pain/Dr Feelgood, I'd probably stick with the memory of music in my head.

Members MyNameIsMok... Posted January 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 You actually thought Motley Crue peaked with Girls, Girls, Girls? Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil, man... Let's put it like this...after Girls, Girls, Girls...Crue became unlistenable so I couldn't tell you much more. I blacked out. My mind went blank. Probably some kind of post-traumatic failsafe. The band was a sucky lipstick L.A. Metal band before that, so it's not like Home Sweet Home was a downgrade. In fact, it was one of their better albums production/songwriting/performance wise. I think Bob Rock is to blame for the peak/demise of both groups ironically... Same with Metallica. In my mind, they just broke up after the Black Album and stopped making records. Right? Spoons are starting to sound pretty good right about now.

Members danswon Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 dumb poll. i agree that Metallica were only good in the 80s. 'Girls Girls Girls' is a bad Motley Crue album. all their other 80s albums are better, save for 'Theatre Of Pain', which is shockingly bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MyNameIsMok... Posted January 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 dumb poll. Thank you. If I had made a deep, lofty and philisophocal thread about a sellout hair metal band vs. a sellout thrash band about who sucks least, I would be a special kind of fool. As it stands, I'm just a regular kind of fool. And thems not bad pickins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nsomniac Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 In a certain mood, Crue on the radio makes me happy. I am not capable of a state of mind that can enjoy the bad Metallica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not capable of a state of mind that can enjoy the bad Metallica. This is sort of what inspired the thread. Also, my band could play a Crue cover (even tounge- in- cheek...edit: ONLY tounge-in-cheek) and not miss a beat. I think the only Metallica song I've ever played and was taken seriously was Battery.

Probably music videos/skateboards/arcade games/heavy metal/girls/neon/weed/video rentals/nuclear war/Apple II Basically the same {censored} you think about today, only with brighter colours and daydreams instead of internet.
