Cracked Talk on | Metallica
Sorry man, this ain't funny. Metallica is the greatest ever, but this is not funny
I like how this person thinks this is the greatest band on Earth. Although musical taste is relative (a fact we all should respect), why Metallica? I mean, they were a good band up until St. Anger. The rest is history... and generic and repetitive riffs. Not to mention they jumped the shark back with Enter Sandman. Can anyone say "Sell Out?" Show me a Metallica fan with at least some sense of why they love Metallica today, and why they bought the shit that IS Death Magnetic, because every Metallica fan I know is some classless dolt that really has no reason to find Metallica's recent droppings appealing in any way, shape, or form.
Dear Everyone,
I just spent a lot of time writing a really really long letter to the author of this page. It was really edgy. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he could edit my letter. That will certainly teach me to click on someone's profile and find pages that they are working on, but not finished with, and try to make witty comments about said pages, and for acting like a gay ass fanboy. What? Where did my letter go? Where is it? I spent so much time on it.
Thanks fucker now i can go tell my friends i read the most musically superior comment on the intenet
Ninja is so cool he can (just barely) manage to make it look like he won an argument by using his brown-tongue-earned privileges at Cracked.com to completely CENSOR comments proving him wrong.
Fuck you very much, kid.
FYI, I didn't browse on your stupid profile to find this lame-ass article (finished or not, it blows donkey dicks by the thousands). It just so happens that anywhere the word "Metallica" is used on the Cracked site, it's automatically replaced by a direct link to this article.
