Do you like heavy metal?  Metallica is my favorite heavy metal band.
I grew up in the 1980's so I heard a lot of heavy metal growing up!  
It's crazy how they attracted such a wide audience while being derided by critics.
I guess it was like any generation's "rebel" music, like Elvis was criticized in his day, punk got criticized too. 
What really drew me to Metallica was the band's fast tempo's and instrumentals.
Do you have a favorite Metallica album or song?
My favorite is their fourth studio album "...And Justice for All".  It came out in the same month as my birthday.
Nice. What were some of the hit songs from that one?
heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era. After experimenting with different genres and directions in subsequent releases, the band returned to its thrash metal roots with the release of its ninth album, "Death Magnetic" (2008), which drew similar praise to that of the band's earlier albums.
In 2000, Metallica led the case against the peer-to
being certified Silver in the United Kingdom.
In 2015, Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis stated "My favorite Faith No More record is "The Real Thing". That's when Mike Patton took over. That's the one. [Although] I do like "We Care a Lot". We got a lot of our influences from "The Real Thing". It showed everybody you could do heavy music and not be "metal". It was something completely different."
Legacy.
