The 80s Hair Metal days were an interesting time. It seemed the faster your guitar player could "shred" and the closer to a dog whistle your singer could sound, the better. There has to be a cutoff point though. Enter NITRO. Singer Jim Gilette had a pitch perfect voice and there's a glass breaking at 3:14 just to prove it. Problem was, they over dubbed his vocals 3 or four times with these car horn sounding harmonies. "I **GUESS** he sings well, its really high pitched. Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Exhibit B: Guitarist Michael Angelo (We'll assume that's not his REAL name) completely ambidextrous, Mike could play the guitar upside down, backwards and probably, I'm just guessing here, the traditional way as well. In all his years of practicing playing really fast, REALLY REALLY fast, Mikey overlooked the part where the guitar solo is supposed to SOUND LIKE ITS A PART OF THE SONG. IT seriously sounds like it was just added in out of nowhere. Same key? Same time signature? Who cares?? ITS FAST!!! and look he's playing it backwards!! Yawn. That guitar was eventually stolen. Apparently there's TWO people who have use for such a useless instrument. Also. The singer's ,hair.

WORST SONG EVER* Metallica got their start in the early 80's and started off very strong. They went from teenaged kids handing out their music for free, to young adult superstars, to bitchy 30 somethings complaining about people getting their music for free almost overnight. So strong were their first 3 and a half albums, that people will still make excuses for the consistent stream of crap they have put out for the last 25 years. By 2003, long time bassist, Jason Newsted had figured out that he had accidentally joined the wrong band in 1989 and split. He was replaced by Robert Trujillo eventually, but for the St. Anger album, it was session musician Bob Rock on bass. Feeling the spirit of change, Lars Ulrich switched out his snare drum for a garbage can..
