I can also see where they are coming from though, seeing as Metallica seemed to get the most popularity. Seems like an interesting series though, is it on DVD or is it an online series? Tongue

It is an intereting series. You can watch the series online at VH1Classic.com or buy the 11-part series on DVD

Metallica were the greatest and most popular thrash metal act of the 80s and was a huge influence on thousands of artists. You won´t find many thrash metal acts out there who don´t site Metallica as a major influence on their music, but you´ll find quite a few who won´t mention one or more of the other three. I think that says it all.

As of late, I have been watching the documentary series entitled Metal Evolution and in it  it said that Metallica made Thrash and other side of Metal(the more menacing side of it) more accessible to the masses (there is a legitimate claim to this argument). Do you believe that this is true? I can understand what they are talking in sense(because many bands decided to follow or truly followed that route) but I don't really believe it because bands could have easily decided to stick with their guns(like Slayer for example) and say "screw that we're not changing". Let me know what you think. Was Metallica really responsible for this?
