Yamisonic Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I actually voted for The Beatles in the poll by the way, I just think Metallica are better musicians.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Oh, I can understand that. But let's also consider the Beatles didn't do anything as wild as Metallica, because of the kind of music they make. They had talent.And John Lennon and Paul McCartney were better than James Hetfield, or whoever it was who wrote the songs, at making music, you can't deny it.

santana Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 What do you mean "no widespread fame" They have fans in the same places as the Beatles. And everyone knows the end to Hey Jude because that song is like 4000 years old. Shit, I heard even Jesus used to rock out to that song.

santana Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Like the songs Hetfield has written, they were more like symphonies than songs. They're all harmonized, the guitars are layered. They were complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were complex.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, I see your point. I like their orchestratic songs like Battery and Fight Fire With Fire. Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica. Its just that The Beatles appeal to me more. I doesnt matter if it's simple, as long as it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumin Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 You can like Metallica more than the Beatles all you want. But if you think that Metallica is better than the Beatles, I feel that you're wrong. The Beatles are more influential than Metallica. They've sold far more albums. They have a bigger fanbase, and more recognizable songs. If you would rather listen to a Metallica song than a Beatles song, that's cool, it's your opinion, but you cannot say that Metallica is better.

santana Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) The only reason they have that is because they had a 20 year headstart on Metallica.And album sales don't mean anything. Metallica have sold more albums since 1983 (when Kill Em All was released) than the Beatles have. Edited August 9, 2005 by santana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont rate bands by fanbase and album sales, thats stupid.I have been a Beatles fan since I was 4 years old, honestly. I used to play with Legos and listen to my Beatles tapes!! Ah good times.BUT. Metallica I like nowdays more, the Beatles have worn out for me. I still like them but I can never like them as much as Metallica anymore.That said, I love the Beatles but dem boys of 'Tallica get this one!

Axl Rose Child Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Lennon + McCartney < Hetfield.The most hilarious and unbelievable post I have ever witnessed...!There are a number of people on this forum who wouldn't know 'good songwriting' if it came and kicked them in the teeth...!

Metallica have sold more albums since 1983 (when Kill Em All was released) than the Beatles have.but metallica takes advantage of modern mass media like MTV internet and stuff. when the beatles were around there was nothing like that. and I think it's save to say that without the beatles metallica wouldn't even exist.
