On this day in 1991, Metallica releases Enter Sandman
 

17 years ago...

now I feel old :(

So do I...

and apparantly everyone is feeling the aftershocks today!

Yeah no kidding!!! Thanks for the reminder :) Great anniversary though...I used to love them!!! I grew up with Metallica!!! ROCK ON!!!:thumbsup

17 years ago! Damn, that sounds crazy. Really odd.

has it really been that long?

best selling metal/hard rock disc of all time

:pimp:pimp:pimp:pimp:pimp:pimp

that is also the day Metallica began to suck cock:Oh crap

And high school guitar classes were never the same..

The Black album...I remember seeing them at Lolapaloza then

What a sad day that was...

I just find it hard to believe that it was that long ago.
Where did the time go?

they were better a few years before that anyways :2 cents:

I was just practicing Enter Sandman on my guitar an hour ago :)

A Strat?

I hope not... :)

The day they got on their motorcycles to jump over a tank infested with sharks....
;-)))

Wow thanks now so do I lol

I still remember where I was on that day

explorer or retro-flying v pls.

I agree. It was a long way away from Kill 'Em All.

...and what a great song that is.

Quoted for truth. Sadly.
And Justice... would have to be my favorite album.

Wow, those are all awesome songs and albums.

I love how most people that say the black album "sucked" would have never even heard of them if not for said album

Best selling hard rock album of all time...what were they thinking lol

And that was the first Metallica album I thought sucked. Everything they have put out since then has sucked as well IMO..

Their old school stuff was where it was at..

I'm seeing them on the 23rd of August :thumbsup

Whoa, I hadn't realized the black album was that old.

Are you kidding? The black album is indeed way different than their really early stuff like Kill em' All, but it still rules.

TRUTH

OMG I remember those songs. That was I long time ago.. I wasn't even legal then... not that it mattered! hehe

...and it was all downhill from there.

damn time goes by so fast.

almost 20 years .... wow

One of my very favorite songs. I must be getting old..

their last great CD..

I was a high school junior.. memories :)

That is nothing compared to how much they sucked when Load came out.

Great post!

Personally, The Black Album, Ten, and Nevermind did it for me. And in that order.

time does fly fast

God bless Metallica!

So very true. :( That was a sad day.

Well you should

this thread deserves a video!
