I hear all of their pre-Black-Album records discussed in such reverent tones, yet every time I've listened to them I've found myself horribly bored after the first five minutes of repetitive look-how-many-different-ways-we-can-resolve-on-E guitar riffing.
Also Lars is a fucking terrible metal drummer.

I don't think that the first three Metallica albums are peak moments in thrash/speed metal history, but "Kill 'Em All", "Ride the Lightning", and "Master Of Puppets" have their moments I suppose. Then again, I might just be bias due to nostalgic reasons, but I will admit that they are far from being the best that 80's thrash/speed had to offer and are vastly overrated and even, at times - bland.
Lars is one of the worst metal drummers I've ever heard though, hands down. He should've stuck with tennis.

I don't know how much I agree with this statement. However, I do know that shortly after the final single was released from Born In The U.S.A., Bruce Springsteen was driving past the site of the bus accident that killed Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, only to pop a tire and, ironically, careen off of a cliff to his death. It's a fact.

Thankfully Max Weinberg wasn't with him during the cliff accident. :D

I am going to have to ask for some clarification on this one, unless being kicked out of a band and then having them record an entire album of material you wrote somehow makes them responsible for your next band.

The whole reason Mustaine formed Megadeth was because he was pissed at getting booted from Metallica. So in a way Metallica were responsible for the formation of a better band. Megadeth put out a a shitload of awesome albums during the 80's, right up to "Countdown to Extinction".
Then Dave kicked he's herroin habits and started envy Metallicas commercial success. Still I'd take "Youthanasia" and "Cryptic Writings" over "Load" and "Reload". Risk, I pretend that didn't happen.
Misereatur:
I cant believe I spent so much time in my early teens liking Metalica. Cliff was the only decent band member in a band full of retards.
Also, Megadeth are probably the worst metal band ever. I fucking hate Dave Mustaine.
I'm sorry, it had to be said.
