this must be a JOKE.both LP and Metallica are sellouts but musically speaking although Hybrid Theory is one of the best nu-metal albums Metallica has got atleast 3 essential thrash metal albums

Linkin park is for kids. Metallica on Guitar and Megadeath for removing disorientation and clearing some really aromatic ear dirt. Though psychedelic trance is the taste of the season. Well, who doesn't love trance. *www.smileyhut.com/music/wos_musik8.gif

Linkin Park just had one good album... Thats Hybrid theory and the rest were sad...
Newayz comparing Metallica with Linkin park is just useless as they are of different genres..
If i had to choose I would vote for metallica coz i think kids listen to Linkin park... If u want some good Rock music then metallica is the way to go... And even Megadeth is a option...

Linkin Park is a successful electronica pop with guitars band.

Metallica is metallica. The co-founders of thrash metal and one of the best metal bands alive.

You can't compare them.

Linkin Park is for my 6-year old cousin sister while metallica is what I listen to :D

THIS IS MY OPINION AND NO GENERALISATIONS. OTHERS MAY LIKE SOMETHING ELSE AND I AM NO-ONE TO OFFEND THEM.

I never knew the world could fall to such an extent. Comparing Metallica with Linkin Park ? Mate, there is no comparision. LP is a commercially successful and a very, very over-hyped band. Agreed, it makes some catchy songs which are emo so the massess will love them but technically they are sh1t. Any person who is learning guitar or drums since a week or two can learn almost all of their songs in a couple of days.... while Metallica is quite technical, is really metal and they are one of the fore-runners of thrash genre (alongside Exodus, Slayer and many other)... their songs are very tough to play on any instrument and most of the songs have very good lyrical content to satisfy a young, angry teenager like me :D.

Well, this is my opinion... if you like LP, listen to it and dont pay any heed to others. Do what you like :).

I agree with Psychosocial. LP's a band which came 7-8 years ago. Metallica has been performing from the 1980s. Another thing, LP is a band which performs AlternRock while Metallica performs Metal. But if you ask me that which one of the 2 I would like to see in India, it has to be LP. I am also willing to see Metallica if it performs its latest album, "DEATH MAGNETIC".

If it's the first time you are listening to metal, then check out Nothing Else Matters, Fade To Black, Enter Sandman. (All three are great songs)
If this not your first "dive" into metal, then check out the epic "Master Of Puppets", For Whom the Bell Tolls, Seek and Destroy, Ride the Lightning, Fuel. :twisted:
Linkin Park is a bit over-rated, I wouldnt call them sh1t, but it's more like pop then nu-metal :|

True both are sellouts... but comparing them, Metallica wins hands down... sadly, kids have made LP too famous :( (I am a kid too and I also started with YellPee but fortunately, I got rid of that ear plague).

yea hybrid theory is the best till now and meteora was also amazing ......

never heard songs of metallica tell me any of his best song let me try his songs also......

His ? HIS?! Metallica is not his! Its them! For ****'s sake! It's a four men band... lol you dont even know whom you are comparing!

How did Hybrid Theory come out ? Well, YellPee recorded one song and then altering the riffs here and there, they recorded a whole album... meaning almost every song sounds the same with just different emo stuff thrown. It became a huge commercial success. Then came out Meteora. It was more like Hybrid Theory pt.2. and thats why people loved it. Then came M2M, which wasnt a success even though it was YellPee's most technical album with some solos by the hairy-monster a.k.a Brad Delson but it wasnt well appreciated. Why ? Coz it wasnt Hybrid Theory pt.3. :p.

It would be too unfair to diss YellPee and give all the praises to Metallica.... so lemme say that even if I love Metallica, and it is on my top 10 fav. band list... it's still a sell out. They started out by releasing Kill em' All, which is my all time fav. Metallica album with masterpieces such as Hit the Lights, Metal Militia and Motorbreath :D. Then came Ride The Lightning... well this album had it all! Fast thrash attacks and some nice ballads (Fade to Black.. anyone ?). Then came Master of Puppets. This album contains my all time fav. Metallica song and that's, 'Master of Puppets' :). Then was the time for '....And Justice For All'. This album was also very good with the famous song 'One'. Then came the Black Album and this is very Metallica started going mainstream and with the albums, Load, ReLoad and St.Anger... they were unofficialy sold out! Death Magnetic is nice though... but still lacking when compared to the first 4 albums :).

I was a big LP fane couple o' years ago and have seen nearly 7 live concerts by them.. including the famous Live in Texas. I know there is a huge crowd of 'men and women above 20yrs' but that does not make 'him' better.

Lol Metallica has a crowd full of people ranging from 13-60yrs old :D.

By kids, Psychosocial and I mean "immature metalheads". :|
I have all of LP's concerts, be it live in texas, Rock am Ring in 2004 or 2007, or Live Earth in Tokyo.
After a while though, I found LP to be too boring and repetitive, and I moved on to metal greats of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and recently, Children Of Bodom
It's totally outrageous to compare LP to the pioneer's of the thrash metal genre, both are miles apart in terms of their music, genres audiences.

I'm not downgrading LP, I still have immense respect for them and would love it if they came to India, but still, I've realised that LP is not "the best" as most on this thread would think.
You have nt listened to their Meteora and Reanimation .

// cool , so this is my 100 th post here
Dude,
Hybrid Theory and Meteora are the only 2 albums LP are renowned for. (and by far their best)
M2M sucked big time. I was expecting more of Hybrid theory-like songs in M2M, but I got "My December" in the entire album.
Reanimation was also nothing worth writing home about. :|

I wouldn't bash any band, but LP cannot be compared to sheer musicality and technicality of Metallica. My favourite song by Metallica right now would be One and the Orchestral version of Call of Ktulu.

The most probable reason is that most of the typical indian 35+ guys grew up in the contemporary bollywood culture, making them numb headed. Moreover, they imagine their own necks will snap everytime they see true metal heads headbanging. I am saying most, 'cause I know some o' them who love metal as much as any GenX guy.

I too started listening to rock from LP,
-Hybrid Theory : Good
-Meteora : OK
-Reanimation : Recycled Bull****
-Minutes to Midnight : An Awful piece of ***** **** ***!

I am wholly into metal now. LP has run out of candies for the kids.

+1 for Metallica.

Metal dosent give you headache... its the most technical and the most complex form of music and unless and until you dont have some sense of music/instruments, you wont enjoy it. Just go and checkout www.ultimate-guitar.com and ask how many of them love metal... I'm sure 70-80% of the guitar players are into metal.. or I can put it that way that 70-80% of the people who are in metal end up playing an instrument :p. Well, I even have proof to my 13-60yr old statement... how about you checking out Metal : A Headbanger's Journey... or Metallica's S&M Concert ? Metal is a headache only to numb-headed people :).

You want non screaming/non growling band ? Why not... afterall thats what prog. metal is all about. Dream Theater, Dio, Iron Mainden, Megadeth(it has raspy vocals but no growling), Eluveitie, etc

I've seen the Wembley concert of Metallica (2008 ) and there were quite a few dudes with salt-pepper hair.
Anyway, why do I have to prove to you that metal is the only way?
And yeah, LP does suck :p

The most probable reason is that most of the typical indian 35+ guys grew up in the contemporary bollywood culture, making them numb headed. Moreover, they imagine their own necks will snap everytime they see true metal heads headbanging. I am saying most, 'cause I know some o' them who love metal as much as any GenX guy.

I too started listening to rock from LP,
-Hybrid Theory : Good
-Meteora : OK
-Reanimation : Recycled Bull****
-Minutes to Midnight : An Awful piece of ***** **** ***!

I am wholly into metal now. LP has run out of candies for the kids.

well reanimation was bullshit .... and miuntes to midnight was OK some songs were nice... :)




from all the posts above that it's proved that mostly youngster like LP and 20+ like mettalica...

mettalica lovers are more here than LP ....

tabbhi if LP came to india kaun kaun jayega....??:razz: count me in at all cost...

Metal dosent give you headache... its the most technical and the most complex form of music and unless and until you dont have some sense of music/instruments, you wont enjoy it. Just go and checkout www.ultimate-guitar.com and ask how many of them love metal... I'm sure 70-80% of the guitar players are into metal.. or I can put it that way that 70-80% of the people who are in metal end up playing an instrument :p. Well, I even have proof to my 13-60yr old statement... how about you checking out Metal : A Headbanger's Journey... or Metallica's S&M Concert ? Metal is a headache only to numb-headed people :).

Are you on UG too? :shock: Have you registered there?

One more thing, most of the UGers hate nu-metal.(yes, including slipknot).
And Metal is not for low-minded morons, you need to have sense of music and the techincality behind it, or else you'll not be able to enjoy it. Just like classical, which I also love.

Btw, Any Opeth fans here? We should start a Metalheads social group.

^I am not a big Opeth fan but they are great yeah... I have heard a lot from them :). I am on UG too.. username is paranj.

BTW, sagar.best... I am 14yrs old... and that kinda proves that not only 20+ people like Metallica.

Nu-Metal cant be considered metal at all. I was a big fan of Slipknot and now I dont like them at all.

My views on LP album :-

Hybrid Theory :- Bullsh1t
Meteora :- Stinking Bullsh1t
Re-Animation :- A money earning trick by a bunch of money whores
Collision Course :- Even Jay-Z thought that he needed some money too... so here we go again
Minutes to Midnight :- a mediocre album and LP's best effort till date.

How do you guys find out which song belongs to what category of metal e.g. Death metal.nu metal.
Psychosocial
May 16, 2009 at 12:51 PM
^By listening to them. Every sub-genre has an unique sound like death metal has low-pitched growling vocals with heavy guitar riffs and lyrics about gore, cannibalism, killing, etc

black metal has high pitched screaming vocals with MOSTLY tremolo picked frantic guitar riffs fast pounding drums with lyrics genreally related to satanism, anti-christ, atheism, etc

these are just two examples... but every genre has different sound.

And yes, one other way in which we find out is by NOT seeing Wikipedia because when it comes to music classification, Wikipedia is sh1t. It terms Children of Bodom as a melo death band.. WTF ?

Bach is my favourite, followed by Beethoven, Handel, and Paganini. I don't really like Mozart except his famous Requiem.

what stupidity, How can you compare a legend with Kid,
A band which is active from 80's and had world's most successful tour, and giving hits after hit, still active, with a kid how had 2 good album and 9 yrs in Industry, If you ask even LP crew what they think about them being compared with Metallica, I am sure they will be happy just to hear that, beat thinking to compare.

They are still kids, we might compare them after they give 10 more yrs of good music, but I can see them fading already.

No comparison.

Anyway, LP was good when it used to release Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Not so after Minutes to Midnight. Collision Course isnt an all-out LP album, so won't consider it. Even "New Divide" is okay.

Metallica is a legend. Comparing it to LP isnt possible. They arent even the same Genre anymore. With "Minutes", LP became more pop than alternative metal, whereas Metallica has always fallen under the Metal Genre. Call it Death Metal, Thrash Metal, call it whatever u like, its still "Metal"lica.

Even if you combine YellPee, Breaking Benjamin, Bullet for my Valentine, Slipknot, all boy bands, Enrigay Iglesias, Madonna, devil knows what else, etc then also they cant compare with Metallica.

Metallica are legends, pioneers and talented musicians who have a very firm command over there respective instruments. Their song writting is un-matchable and so is their technicality. Ask Brad Delson of YellPee to play Master of Puppet's mid solo.. heck, atleast tell him to try to play MoP's intro riff :p.

On March 7, 1999, Metallica was inducted into the San Francisco Walk of Fame. The mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, proclaimed the day "Official Metallica Day". Metallica was awarded the MTV Icon award in 2003, and a concert was held paying tribute to the band with artists performing Metallica songs. Performances included Sum 41 with a medley of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Enter Sandman", and "Master of Puppets". Staind covered "Nothing Else Matters", Avril Lavigne played "Fuel", hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg performed "Sad But True", Korn played "One", and Limp Bizkit performed a rendition of "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)".
