“Why Is Metallica Your Favorite Band?”
Reddit User: bruzdnconfuzd
“they showed me how to really listen to music actively and not just let something drone on in the background. The way they could play downbeat, melodic parts and crunchy, heavy riffs with ALL range of vocals in the same song… blew my teenager mind. And listening to their music is a full-body experience; I can’t not move.” II “… I admire them for their endurance and dedication to their craft, being a band that’s slightly older than I am. They’ve been unapologetically kicking ass with their music… longer than I’ve been breathing. And all the way along, they’ve explored very dark and confusing topics that most of us struggle with at some time or another. So I can take joy in relating to someone else knowing the same pain, alienation, uncertainty, fear, anger, etc.” II “… They’ve been unafraid to change their sound and do different things and take artistic risks.” II “…they are authentic, passionate, positive and unbelievably talented human beings.”
“there’s no other band that delivers that quality of metal, on that scale, with that consistency every time LIVE.” II “ Metallica also made me realize what real music is - passion & honesty.”

“Their music is simply awesome. Not just instrumental, but once you really try to understand the meaning behind the lyrics it becomes even better. Their music has always been there for me. In good times where I felt great and excited and just needed to go crazy and release all that energy, but also in bad times where I found comfort in the lyrics and felt the emotion the guys put in each of their songs. I love how they not only make great songs themselves, but also make their covers 10 times better than the original in their own and unique way. I love every song and album they made, because each song is actually a good song. Sure their style and sound has changed during the years, but that doesn’t make their newer work bad or better, just different. They’ve grown like everyone else and so has their music and somehow they just always know how to make kick-ass music.”

“No other band has quite captured such aggression and been able to make such good songs out of it like Metallica have. They’re honestly geniuses. And with 10 studio albums plus a whole other range of stuff like a massive cover album, live shit, a fucking collaboration with the Symphony Orchestra, they’re like a whole genre of music within themselves.”

“they’ve been there for me through thick and thin. It astonishes me how their lyrics describe how I feel. It’s like they’re taking a page out of my journal and making it into a song. I definitely can relate to their songs very much. I love how they can put me in a good mood and make me feel like I’m not the only one who is suffering. It’s as if I found a best friend through their music who will never leave me or judge me. And will always be there for me whether I had a good day or a bad day. Which is what we all need.”
