Do you like heavy metal?  Metallica is my favorite heavy metal band.
I grew up in the 1980's so I heard a lot of heavy metal growing up!  
It's crazy how they attracted such a wide audience while being derided by critics.
I guess it was like any generation's "rebel" music, like Elvis was criticized in his day, punk got criticized too. 
What really drew me to Metallica was the band's fast tempo's and instrumentals.
Do you have a favorite Metallica album or song?
My favorite is their fourth studio album "...And Justice for All".  It came out in the same month as my birthday.
Nice. What were some of the hit songs from that one?
There were so many.  "Master of puppets" was another great album.
