More is all you need

This is from way back. Back before James learned to sing, before Jason got booted, before Lars got insufferable and before the band's compositional quality went down the tubes. There was a time when Metallica used to offer up seriously ass-whippin' metal, though looking back that was a pretty short period, wasn't it? Unfortunately it was not too long after this they decided to make videos, write ballads and sell more records. An unnecessary choice considering they had top 10 albums, t-shirt sales and concert tours without ever acknowledging MTV. I'm not saying that's the reason they suck but their slide does coincide neatly with that time period. Enjoy.
