    I thought the green one was just a variant that was done by the artist,what package level got the green poster?

    Me and the missus got the green background version with our Shortest Straw package... (Green stripe Stag poster, Metallica logo sunglasses, Worldwired Tour scarf.) A friend had done a more expensive package and had two of the blue striped background posters, so we swapped a green for a blue meaning we both ended up having one of each variant.

    Seems like a bit of an over reaction. Why is it always straight to explosives with you

    Lars Ulrich is the cleverest of all drummers

    why?

    because most of the BEST ie bonham/baker et all didn't register their iconic parts as writing contributions and lars is co writer on everything !

    apart from daves songs :)
    “James contacted me two years ago. We were going to officially release the No Life ’Til Leather demo as a record, with 27 tracks, pics, the whole enchilada, and the talks broke down because Lars wanted credit on two songs. I wrote every note and word too. I have the texts. I passed.”

    Was around 190-220 Euro when it came out initially,I got mine for 90 Pound on hmv site on a black friday deal.They are starting to go up in price but nothing compared to Master Of Puppets which is making about 450 Euro. Keep an eye out though and ocassionally people split the boxes on Ebay.

    They used to sell used guitar strings ffs. Strings that they got for free from the manufacturers. Great way to make money, but I think they didn't sell cos they started sending them out with orders. Yeah, I have some ...

    MOP is a very dense album. RIB is faster but has always been fairly one dimensional for that, great album, but Master has pretty much everything you want from a thrash metal album, it's a rich tapestry of sound and a lot of that is down to Cliff Burton. Orion is my all time fav Metallica tune.

    A few years back I picked up the boxset. It was €220. I came into a sum of money and while I initially baulked at the price, I just had to have it so treated myself. I consider it an investment piece, not that I would ever part with it, rather it can be passed down if the time comes.

    The greatest metal album ever made.

    Completely agree with this, mop is far superior, musically an astonishing album, it shows metallicas superior abilities, even though there's nothing wrong with slayers abilities. I have found their albums to be very similar over the years, but still enjoyable, it's a shame theyve called it a day

    As much as I love MOP, I still prefer Ride the Lightning!

    Many fans do, there has always been a lot of love for Lightning.

    It was an extraordinary volume of work the band put out in a relatively short time from 83 to 88.

    Hetfield sounds very good here. Song played slightly slower than they normally play it live, I think that's a good thing.

    I don't know if it's just me, but I get a very doomy feel from tracks like Thingy, Leper & Sanitarium........? Thingy is among my favourite songs by them.
