I love Metallica and was planning to get this game.
And I disagree that "Metallica died with Cliff" - Justice for All and the Black Album are great - but the black album is the end of Metallica for me.
I'd actually forgotten how much I used to like Metallica until I picked this up. Back in the day I was a
huge Metallica fan (went five nights in a row when they came through Ontario on the Justice tour). I far prefer their pre-Justice material, but hey... when they're on tour and that's the only chance you get to see them, you go...
And I'm with you erictrumpet... the black album was the end of the line for me. I moved to Vancouver (where
nobody toured at the time), lost touch with music for a few years while I was in college, and then wrote them off as a band after the whole Napster fiasco. I picked up GH:M when I started to run out of songs on all of my other games (its a whole lot cheaper up here to buy the game and get ~40+ songs than it is to buy the songs by the handful), and playing these songs reminded me of years gone by.
Funniest part with GH:M was... in all the other GH/RB games I generally do great on the rhythm but cramp up on the solos. With GH:M, was totally the opposite... I'm doing awesome on the solos but blowing it on the rhythm sections. I guess all those years of playing air guitar as a teenager are finally paying off!
