  Anti-Christ

  One of my favorite Metallica song

  "Spineless from the start, sucked into the part

  circus comes to town, you play the lead clown

  pleas, please

  spreading his disease, living by his story

  knees, knees

  falling to your knees, suffer for his glory

  you will

  time for lust, time for lie

  time to kiss your life goodbye

  send me money, send me green

  heaven you will meet

  make a contribution

  and you'll get a better seat

  bow to leper messiah

  marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix

  blind devotion came, roting your brain

  chain, chain

  join the endless chain, taken by his glamour

  fame, fame

  infection is the game, stinking drunk with power

  we see

  time for lust, time for lie

  time to kiss your life goodbye

  send me money send me green

  heaven you will meet

  make a contribution

  and you'll get the better seat

  bow to leper messiah

  witchery, weakening

  sees the sheep are gathering

  set the trap, hypnotize

  now you follow

  time for lust, time for lie

  time to kiss your life goodbye

  send me money send me green

  heaven you will meet

  make a contribution

  and you'll get the better seat

  lie, lie..."

  And that's why the WT does not want you to listen to Metallica

  perfect song. i put it in my top 10 on that other thread.

  i periodically played metallica when i was a college dj but was more into punk at the time...there was always that punk / thrash scene that seemed separate. i have so much respect for metallica after seeing 'some kind of monster'. well, i always had respect b/c they could sell records w/o air play and mtv, who jumped on the bandwagon after metallica was successful. the napster thing, lars really lost a lot of cred for them.

  anyway, wish i wasn't the elitist teen punk i was when metallica was playing smaller shows and didn't realize until recently how great 'master of puppets' is.

  I was just in my early teens wen I was introduced to Metallica. My dad kept finding my cassettes and he would smash them up ( after he would "smash" me up) so now I have the Cd's. I wish I still had the original albums. It sure brings back a lot of memories wen I listen to them. It's good stuff.

  Nice lyrics

  I only know a few MTV popular songs by them because I'm of the "Loves Hairbands" group. Love metal, too, but just don't know as much Metallica as I wish I did.

  Makes me understand Spinal Tap even better.

  I know that James Hetfield was raised in Christian Science. A cult.

  Being older than some of you I never got into a lot of heavy metal music. There have been a few songs that I like and "Nothing else matters" by Metallica is one of my favs.

  Trust I seek and I find in you
  Every day for us something new
  Open mind for a different view
  And nothing else matters
