Ride the Lightning is my favourite Metallica album. Creeping Death, Fight Fire With Fire, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Call of Ktulu I can have on repeat endlessly.

I'm not a huge Metallica fan but Ride The Lightning is my favourite album too, as Fade To Black has always been my favourite song of theirs.
Do you Metallica fans listen to other thrash bands? It's not my thing but I do like some Megadeth.
Anthrax yes. Some anyway, their best album isn't on Spotify
Yes Megadeth. Rust in Peace is a fucking rad album.
Does Pantera count as thrash? Probably only Cowboys from Hell
Slayer as well a fair bit. -
@MajorRage
Puppets. The pinnacle of metal in my eyes. Every song is fucking amazing. Leper Messiah is my favourite Metallica song.
Lightening. So raw and thrashy, but amazing. Bells definitely the standout. But Creeping Death...
Justice. Yes, the mix is appalling, but the songwriting and musicianship is amazing. Standout Frayed Ends of Sanity
Black. Polished Metallica is still pretty fucking good. This is a quality rock record. My favourite is Wherever I May Roam
Load. Like you, i rate this album. Half of it is amazing. Half of it is pretty average though. Bleeding Me the standoutYou can chuck the rest in a blender as far as i care. Varying levels of okay to pretty fucking average.
But i listen to the above 5 albums (and the 2nd side of Garage Inc) like a fucking lot.

@mariner4life I can't get past the vocals in a lot of the thrash bands. I did see some of the Testament set at the Soundwave festival in Sydney a few years back. Alex Skolnick is a monster guitarist.

@Bovidae a bit. The vocal delivery on most is not my thing. Pantera the exception. Occasionally mega death and slayer on Spotify playlists.
It’s not thrash but only in the last 3-4 years I’ve got into Iron Maiden.
i love Iron Maiden

Interesting. My teenage music listening was bands like IM, DP, VH, and other classic rock/metal bands of that era, but I avoided thrash for the reasons stated. Vocals and melody are important to me.

This would be my favourite Metallica song overall I reckon. It has all you want from them.
@mariner4life my mate was due to see Iron Maiden a week after Faith no More, as you know I prefer the latter ( admittedly not by much ) but recent footage indicates they're as strong as they've ever been as a live act.

@MN5 The Legacy of the Beast tour has been getting rave reviews about the band performance and the stage production.
Yeah I've seen quite a bit of footage on good old youtube. They sound incredible for a bunch of rapidly aging rockers. The musicianship is off the charts and Dickenson sounds as good as ever.

these tours are what really make me regret living so far away from everywhere.
If i lived in a Capital City i would go to every one of these shows. But add flights and accommodation. And 2 days of drinking. And the equation is suddenly not quite as worth it

International acts only seem to go to Auckland or Christchurch so I feel your pain. The former destination suits my Scottish heritage as I can use the company car and not have to pay for petrol ( but still get gas money from any passengers ) and it means I have more beer money.

@mariner4life Listening to Garage Inc today.
Best kick the kids out of the room when So What comes on.

Covid-19 strikes again as Iron Maiden's Legacy of the Beast Tour in Australia and New Zealand has now been officially cancelled. The same for the Japanese leg of the tour which followed later this month and other dates in June.
Not surprising and hopefully they reschedule for 2021.

@antipodean no sir, didn't like it, not at all.
One of the fastest and thrashiest Metallica songs makes a poor acoustic cover.
I've had to listen to the original just to get the taste out of my ears
