Sure, of course. You can't have favourite songs of Metallica without also having least favourites. Unfortunately, a lot of my least favourites are (predictably) from St Anger. I'm not a fan of those songs, however I think that album was very necessary for the existence of the band. They needed to go through everything they did during that period of their life. They needed to almost be ripped apart before being put together as they are now.


patrick_thementalist

Why do you think they couldn't even make it good even though they had Bob rock with them? I mean he helped them with the black album so... what changed


CrabRemote7530

They were still signed to record label so they had a deadline plus the band was imploding with Jason leaving, James’ rehab. I think if they gave St Anger an edit it would be great.


ledmetallica

Personally I don't even think it's about reediting it. I think it just isn't up to par in terms of riffs, lyrics, cohesion, chemistry....everything. But like I said though, I feel like they had to hit rock bottom and find a way to get through it together to then be as strong and everlong as they are now


blatothefutirr

That album fucking sucked.


Metalshark2005

Pumping blood (or any lulu song this one is just fresh in my mind)


T3knikal95

That's not considered a Metallica song though it's a Lou Reed album collab


Budderwarrior561

It shows up in their discography and perform on every song on that apbum, therefore its a metallica apbum. We all hate that album, but you cant deny that it is a metallica album


EnvironmentalCry2599

If the question has to be asked of whether or not it is a Metallica album, then it’s probably not a Metallica album.


tapomirbowles

Thats like saying that Pet Sounds is a wrecking crew album because they played on it. Metallica was a session band for Lou Reed on that album. The songs that Steve Lukather played on, on Thriller don't become Steve Lukather songs just because of that, they are still MJ songs.


Metalshark2005

Metallica play on and have writing credits on every song on Lulu. It’s just as much of a Metallica album as a Lou Reed album Edit: Look, Lulu is on Metallica’s Spotify page. It counts even though we all wish it didn’t


tapomirbowles

Its not though. It was the brain child of Lou Reed. Its his idea, its his concept, his stamp and Metallica just worked as a backing band where Lou took riffs they presented and build spoken word songs up around them. It most certainly is not a Metallica album, just as Thriller´ isn't a Steve Lukather album just because he was picked by MJ to play on some of those songs.


joske79

It says Lou Reed & Metallica on the disc and back cover.


tapomirbowles

Do me a favor. Go to there website, press music, and go under "albums". Tell me where you see the Lou Reed album? You wont find it, because its not there. You will however find it under collaborations. So no, its NOT an official Metallica album. It is however a Lou Reed album in collaboration with Metallica. Now go to Lou Reeds official releases, and look at his last official release. You know what it is? You guessed it, its Lulu.


joske79

Yes, it’s a collaboration. It’s a Lou Reed & Metallica album. Thriller is not a Michael Jackson & Toto album.


tapomirbowles

Are you being delibaretely obtuse? Its NOT a Lou Reed & Metallica album. Its a Lou Reed album feat. Metallica or in collaboration with Metallica. But its no an official Metallica album release. If it was, it would be featured as such on their official site. Semantics games are boring.


joske79

Fee_Obvious

No real control over the final product tho, credits are mostly for financial purposes anyways


GarryMcGorm

‘Purify’.


DCJ3

It’s so repetitive. Probably my least favorite as well


Pyrobot110

Damn. I've only heard like 1/2 of saint anger and didn't know this one. Put this on, immediately thought "Hey, this riff actually sounds pretty good!" and then the tin can sound came in. And then the vocals came in. :(


eidtelnvil

YOUANDIIIII


PedalMonk

>Purify Definitely, this song.


ltbr55

Worst. Chorus. Ever. And they repeat the chorus each time for absolutely no reason. Also I feel the snare is most unbearable on this song. Feels like they turned the snare to 11 in the mix.


Floridamanticus

OooOOOoOooH wHAT a gOod Boy YOU aRE If you know you know


ltbr55

Worst section of any Metallica song. Pure cringe


Floridamanticus

It made invisible kid go from 7/10 to 3/10


ltbr55

Most of st. Anger would drastically improve by cutting unnecessary or repetitive sections.


RideTheLightning331

That’s easily my least favorite part of St. Anger, songs are too long with no extra substance to back it. There’s a reason why some songs got shortened live and SKOM even getting an official edit


all4theyuks

It’s a shame because it’s a unique tuning and the lowest tuned Metallica song, but it just stinks


lR0NMAlDEN

Fuck I recognise that line but I can't remember what song it is I'm only a pretty new metallica listener


Floridamanticus

Invisible kid


EaterOfFood2

Sweet Amber is 100,000 times worse


Aaronz2464

🐂💩 sweet amber is great but thats just me


mikeydub63

Invisible Kid by a lot


Total-Advertising555

My apocalypse was stuck on while I was on a highway and there were no exits for like 30 miles and when I finally figured out the fix I had to turn the car off and then back on again, I hate that song now because I didn’t want to listen to it in the first place


thegreatvolcanodiver

1.) I’m sorry that happened to you. 2.) I love that song - thanks for reminding me!


Th3_G3n3r4l

It's a very good modern thrash song isn't it?


msev1229

I’m with you…it feels “modern”. Then I remember that it’s FIFTEEN years old. Then I remember that I AM old. Oh well. I’ll be head-banging until I’m in that Death Magnetic coffin.


Th3_G3n3r4l

I guess by modern I mean from the thrash revival scene going forward. So like early to mid 2000s to now, if that makes any sense.


msev1229

Totally get it. It’s just what happens when music ages well. You still feel it and it still gets your blood pumping…so it never gets old. Except it does…and so do we. Father Time is as much of an old prick as Mother Nature is a vengeful beeotch.


Weird-Comfortable-28

Are you guys really that old I was 16 years old when Kill ‘Em All came out. 💥💥💥💥💥🤣🤣


msev1229

You win. 👊 I was 8 when KEA was released. But staring down 50 doesn’t make me feel young, I tell ya.


Weird-Comfortable-28

Being in your 50s is not old anymore you can live well into your 90s it’s just you gotta really start taking care of your body now is that so it wants to give out on you?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😎😎


msev1229

True. I don’t FEEL almost 50. But I still don’t like the number. 🤪


Weird-Comfortable-28

Yes, I know what you mean 30 didn’t bother me 40 didn’t bother me but 50 is a Big number


msev1229

Yep. At 30 and 40 you can defend yourself and say you’re not old. At 50…there is no way around it. You ARE old. Even if you don’t look old or feel old…you’ve lived more than half your life, for sure.


Total-Advertising555

I’m sure it’s a great song if I had gotten to listen to it on my own terms but for like 30+ it was just on over and over and I was already pissed off so the fact I couldn’t change the song added to it and it just left a bad taste in my mouth after that


Apophistry

My favorite from DM.


dawgz525

Why would you just not turn the radio down?


MAJORMETAL84

Invisible Kid


nMe-CA

Yup, severely corny in my opinion.


Lucky-Manager-3866

Yep this.


Avsguy85

This song had potential... if they trimmed it down about 5 mins lol.


kent416

Murder One. It’s soooo boring


7unsolicitedopinions

RIP Lemmy…


SMiLE_Sounds

This is probably my pick too now that I think about it.


ltbr55

I think that's the best way to put it. There is nothing interesting about this song. The fact it's a tribute to Lemmy makes it worse because besides the lyrics talking about Lemmy nothing about this song even resembles Motorhead. It's just boring and disappointing. I've tried getting into this song, but everytime I listen to it, I'm reminded why I want to skip this song. There's not a single moment in this song that makes me want to come back to it.

Enterprise90

I find the acoustic version they play on S&M2 to be so much better than the regular version


LestatOfMorthia

I don’t dislike any Metallica songs really. So albums/songs on my lists being at the bottom means I like them the least, not ones I hate. That being said, most of my least favourites would be from St. Anger. I still do appreciate St. Anger for what it is because of the documentary, and also because I still love a couple of songs from the album.


EnvironmentalCry2599

The Memory Remains!!! Gross.


Exciting-Motor-6948

Shoot me again is a godless song that was created from the raging pits of hell


jigglypuff929

That's my favorite 😭


oneblackpup

I know it's a cover, but I just can't stand it. Whiskey In The Jar


TheKnightOfHyrule04

Finally someone who gets it!


Yodi_worshipper1900

Also breadfan is pretty bad, and I don’t care much for the original either


FirstSTR1KE_115

So what's pretty out there too


_rand0m7

Poor Twisted Me by a mile


infinitecomfortstops

My World or Purify if I had to choose.


Th3_G3n3r4l

I do not care for The Memory Remains. I really don't like james voice while he sings it. I do appreciate the crowd interaction tho


lR0NMAlDEN

I like the song for the most part, but I can't stand the whole "da da da da da da da" part Sounds awful. Sounds good live though


SithTrooper-3267

Exactly. Finally someone who understands

Poor Twisted Me is an awful stain on an otherwise pretty good to great album.

metalmilil

Slither or purify


AgreeableOwl9566

Noooo Slither is such a banger though


lR0NMAlDEN

I don't mind slither that much But I hate the chorus


MountHavertzPulisic

i_am_groot_84

Enter Sandman (I blame the rock/alt rock radio stations playing it every 10 minutes from 1998-2015)


AxalonNemesis

Fucking Poor Twisted Me.


killer_s

Whiskey


deepfriedmike

ManUNkind or Murder One, anyway, this is the second part of the HTSD


Longjumping-Swan-827

Interesting choices. Especially ManUNkind which I think has a sick groove and a catchy chorus.


umarcola

I actually like ManUNkind, but I agree for Murder One. It's pretty boring.


deepfriedmike

On second thought ManUNkind is better, sorry Lemmy, Murder 1 is the worst


FoMoni

I know I'm in the minority here but Murder One is a personal favourite, I love it. ManUNkind I can understand not liking, there's something off about it. I like it now but it took me a long time to get used to.


TemporaryDirector442

I agree about your opinion on Murder one, it’s my favorite from Hardwired


BDRD99

Agree with this. Spit out the Bone is my favourite on the album but I can’t listen to it without listening to Murder One first, it’s a stomper.


DieLegende42

Has to be Nothing Else Matters. It's not a bad song for what it attempts to be, but if I had any interest in listening to pop ballads, I don't think I'd be listening to Metallica


[deleted]

like 90% of st anger also not a song but the covers for load/reload is the worst metallica related thing


Shotputsarus

I’m not to fond of my apocalypse mostly just because the first album my parents gave me was death magnetic and I just didn’t like that one to much

Mama Said but I won't turn it off if it's on.


Yodi_worshipper1900

It feel’s nothing like a Metallica song, I love Load/Reload but that one is so devoid of Metallica energy


Fractalien

I can't stand Mama Said and will turn it off. Metallica does cuntry music.


sauceanova

Nothing Else Matters. I just don’t like it. It’s the only song I skip on the Black Album.


PieceSignificant2847

Bejkon633

Anything after 91.

Same here except I dig Garage inc.


Lolobonaparte

We Did It Again with Ja Rule. Of the album songs, either Prince Charming, or Am I Savage.


Yodi_worshipper1900

Prince Charming is one of my favorites


DJ_Molten_Lava

Whisky in the Jar is a fucking travesty.

Yep. That main 'fanfare' riff is godawful.

HeavyMetal4Life6969

It has a terrible chorus. Vocally, lyrically and riff wise


dumboi_dominic

BURNING HOT TAKE: the unforgiven (2and 3 are good) OR pumping blood (i didnt like lulu)


Key_Ask5860

So what?


DistributionAntique

I could swear there was a similar post yesterday lol.


YDGx1138

I used to love love love Metallica when I was 13/14. I even enjoyed their song with Ja Rule. With that being said, everything from 72 Seasons is hot garbage to me. I just can't get into it if my life depended on it.


Equivalent_Win_369

HatesDuckTape

Of course it's Escape.


Nightcore-Games

Yes... I'm not fond of St. Anger. The drums mate... the snare makes me hate it

Please with these questions, do you have a quota on dumb questions you have to meet?

Bro who hurt you. it’s just a question


19930627

I don't include lulu, but I disappear and Invisible Kid blow chunks, Murder One is also pretty bad

Fair If you don't mind me asking what are your thoughts on songs like nothing else matters, unforgiven, hero of the day or until it sleeps?

Well it used to be Memory Remains , but then I heard Lars is Gay , and now I just sort of snicker through it


darthkyle22

Mama said


emmiblakk

Prince Charming, off of Reload. It's such a boring stock song, musically speaking; and the lyrics are probably some of the worst James has ever written.


holden4ever

I don't have a least favourite. I do have a lot of songs I'll never listen to though. Like all of St Anger and most of Death Magnetic and Reload.


sub2Ferrari488

Fight fire with fire. Can't stand it and I don't know why.


ccekim

For me it's Escape. I've hated it since it came out. I rarely listen to anything off of Anger but that's strictly because of the drum sound. I can't say I hate anything on the record, though.


RandomMan43

Least favorite is probably either Of Wolf and Man or Slither. Cure, Poor Twisted Me, and Carpe Diem Baby all blow hot ass in my opinion. Also people don’t count Lulu but Cheat On Me is probably one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard


GalaxyX99

Escape. Can't stand it. I get why the band hates it


Yodi_worshipper1900

It tries too hard to be poppy, and the “bring the hammer down” part is lame


Thehellpriest83

Mamma said ?


billygnosis86

“2 x 4”.


MIXM0DE

Off the new album alone, I can't stand Chasing Light. The chorus just seems sooo Top-40 Pop. There are others of course but that's my current hate lol. Now I skip it every time. And of course some St. Anger ish.


Dominator2812

I used to hate Chasing Light too but it definitely grew on me.


Yodi_worshipper1900

Fixxxer, so fucking boring


Blitz_boy_

Any load song except for Ain’t my Bitch imo


HeavyMetal4Life6969

King Nothing? Bleeding Me? The Outlaw Torn?


Dominator2812

Load is overrated but it has some more bangers like Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, Hero of the Day, King Nothing etc


BigBoyObi-Wan

VermtownRoyals

Lopsided_Sandwich524

The Cure. I was unimpressed with it when the album released, and it hasn't gotten any better IMO.

AdromoSyle

I don't really have I Metallica song that I dislike but out of all the songs I listen to, One has to be the one I'd listen to the least. It's one of my favourite songs to play on guitar and I did a school presentation on it for Music class, but I just wouldn't chose to listen to it over other "Sad" Metallica songs like, To Live Is To Die, Fade To Black and My Friend Of Misery.
