message: I hate that crappy picture with James pointing at me. I'm changing it back
(yea thats right i am a communist.)
The info boxes for band list their current members. Doesn't make much sense to include a former lineup picture. BabuBhatt 04:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone didn't mention that the bus crushed Cliff TWICE, not just once, and that his feet were sticking out from under the bus. I went ahead and added that the bus crushed him twice when the winch broke. From: middle of the country (10:50 FEB. 4, 2006)
Is it really necessary to include such a graphic description of this mans death? How about showing a little respect for him. The announcement would be just as effective without the last three sentences, starting with "Burton was thrown out..." --Tomtheebomb 08:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Cliff Burton]] Death 

message: In the Early Days section, the first paragraph claims that their first session, in Lars's garage, included Dave Mustaine.  The second paragraph claims that Mustaine joined after Hit The Lights was recorded.  If both of these statements are true, then there is some explanation missing. Ari 07:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mustaine's involvement 

message: The following makes little sense:
'Quintana came up with a suggestion "Metallica," but Lars quickly suggested another and decided to use that name for the band he and James Hetfield had just started. In the starting James Hetfield didn't like Lars Ulrich as a drummer.'
Second sentence is a non sequitor.  First is just unclear - did Lars start two bands or one?  Istvan 05:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming 

message: There is a barrage of anon IP's who keep changing the introductory paragraph to 200 million in worldwide sales. These numbers are sketchy at best. I have only seen partial totals(not including Africa and Oceania) and they were around 60 million. Best guess can't be too much higher than that. Someone posted 84 with a citation clause on it. Which seems entirely valid. Where does 200 keep coming from. Does anyone know a legit link to these values? Mr Pyles 19:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does Hero of the Day redirect here? Thehappysmith 19:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good question. It should redirect to Load, if anything. - Mark 14:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hero of the Day 

message: Honestly, that's what the whole Napster section feels like. I thought this was supposed to be an encyclopedia?
:it's getting pretty bad. The article is written(in many sections) as one big run-on sentence. Between that and all the 'soap opera'...it reads more like a grade 7 book report than an encyclopedia article. I tried to clean some of more obvious grammar goofs. But it needs a lot more. I know I don't have the time. Perhaps someone will step up. Anger22 10:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magazine? 

message: The entire article, as mentioned before, is starting to read like a teen magazine. On top of that, it's exceeding the 'prefered' Wiki-length for articles on this website. If no one has any objections I think that 'Napster' essay should be chopped down to a paragraph with a couple of external links added in. If anyone disagrees....post it now.

replies: text: True! --PET 16:49, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There! I chopped it down a little. But it stands right now at 52K wgich is still too much by wiki standards. See anywhere else where the fluff can be hacked out of it. With a few more clean ups it might be worth FA status?(although the page gets vandalised so often it could be difficult) Anger22 00:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Length

message: Reading through other music webpages that are the same size as this one I am noticing more and more that their discography sections(which can be fairly large) have been given a separate article of their own. This might be the best opportunity to do that to this page as well. Anger22 00:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: A way to make the article more streamline

message: In the "Individual songs" section there is "Afraid of the Dark" - The Simpsons. This is the first time I hear about it which is odd if the information is correct. I would be interested to hear from where this information actually comes from. Stominous 16:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Afraid of the Dark" - The Simpsons 

message: Hey, what about posting something in "Trivia" about the song "The door"? Some weeks ago this track leaked on the internet under the name "Metallica - The Door - New Song", it's cutted and it clocks at 2:31. I'm actually searching for the lyrics of that song to recognize if it's a fake or not. Help me! :P

thread_title:  "The Door" controversy? 

message: I reverted (again) the bit of trivia concerning the last time Metallica did out-of-studio shows. It wasn't August of '95, but August of '97 when they last did this. Wangoed 14:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Escape from the Studio

message: The article says: In the film he says he felt Metallica's desire to hire a therapist to help solve the problems between the band members was "weak and lame". But Newsted's "weak and lame" quote related to the fact that the band couldn't get along on their own rather than to their desire to hire a therapist. This is a (slight) difference. Someone please edit it. --84.157.109.142 13:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Departure of Newsted 

message: i hope lars wont see his name placed in the last place in the "members", even after rob. someone can place it second, as it is always there in album labels.
