Are you me?! I've hated them since all the Napster shit back in the day and always turned the radio when "Mandatory Metallica" would come on. I'd rather sit in silence.

Then they did everyone a favor and made music after the Black Album that was absolute garbage. Load & Reload we're both Loads of shit... pun intended.

Hell yeah baby. I love when current slang is just referencing mid 2000s memes only weirdos on 4chan knew about.

Wow, I didn't know Mandatory Metallica was a thing, I just thought the local DJ really liked them.

I still rock out to Master of Puppets but I think bad things about James Hetfield afterwards

have you listened to "Torturing James Hetfield" by Chumbawamba? It's pretty amusing!

Is it any of these?

Their post-black-album shittiness predates the Napster idiocy by 4 years. They went to shit before they shot themselves in the foot.

I still think Master of Puppets is a fantastic album though.

Mandatory Metallica

was this just a Milwaukee 102.9 (if I remember right) thing or also in other regions??

Basically every rock and roll radio station has it
