Wham a lam a roooar.
Metallica first 5 albums…
You were 4/5th right.
Huh? You’ll have to remind me what I said about metallica.
- Kill them all - with Dave Mustaine writing most of the stuff
- Ride the lightning
- Master of Puppets
- Justice for Jason
and ehhh,
- Black album did have some cool riffs so even tho it felt like they sold out and went mainstream with that album (versus the screw you it’s heavy metal mulisha), it was still pretty good not really bad.
Yeah, you got it…
Up through And Justice was awesome.
Black Album was the beginning of the end.
Next thing I know, they are pulling out the oriental rug, doing acoustic sets (not kidding)
Incidentally, nice lyrics…
“All I felt, all I’ve known?!?”
“Never cried like a bitch befo”
The thing that gets me about Justice was Lars screwing Jason out of some prime mixing. There’s a youtube video called “Justice for Jason” and some guy boosted the bass and man, Jason was really screwed on that. I listened to that album almost nonstop back in 88 and I was all about the guitars and drums and never noticed the strong bass line.
This is funny to me.
I’m a bass player, and formed my playing somewhat around this album.
I learned/loved the bass lines.
Its what I loved most about And Justice.
(That and the double bass drum)
So I could totally back any argument that Jason should get credit…
It’s just tha he already DID in my case.
@Skipper use a standard url and it should embed for you
I was able to watch Skipper video, but yours comes thru as basically a screen capture, @chris.
It showed up, but links/play didn’t work…
Thanks @JfromtheD, now I got this stuck in my head. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying. As far as ear worms go, this ain’t bad.

I’ve been a fan of Apologetix for a long time. This song has always sparked my imagination. Mainly because of the “wise men” from the east.
My thoughts (without going into a long bible study) are basically that these were “wise men” (aka scientists, philosophers, theologians) from babylon. They might have been a group founded by Daniel the prophet under Nebuchadnezzar. While we tend to dismiss ancient cultures as ignorant, they built things and wonders that we still marvel at today. Babylon had the hanging gardens and a pretty fascinating and fortified city, Egypt had the pyramids and other cultures had some pretty amazing stuff at the time too.
But when they showed up, Herod could have had them put to death, but he didn’t. It’s my thought that the reason they had to present themselves to Rome was that they were a pretty big group of people (not just 3 wise men, but possibly something like looked like an army and they didn’t want to fight with Rome). Their claim that a baby was born “king of the Jews” was an insult to Herod, Rome, and Rome’s claim to sovereignty.
These wise men were also known as “king makers” which was an insane title to flaunt in front of Rome.
Gerry Rafferty was awesome!
Timeless classic. Even sort of copied by Sheryl Crow in All I Want to Do
Putting in the office hours today

Belinda Carlisle came on tv for some reason, girlfriend said "ich, I hate that song…"
I corrected her immediately and said “that’s Belinda Carlisle, show some respect.”
I pulled up this video, which was saved in my playlist.
And explained how around that time, these girls were getting spit on by male audience members.
It’s still a “WTF moment” for me…
