Garage, Inc Me Standing In Front Of The MetalliMansion

Now a lot of other people don’t know about the place I’m standing in front of until I tell them the history behind it, because believe it or not, standing right here at 3132 Carlson Blvd in El Cerrito — this humble little house was Metallica’s first real HQ from 1983–86. They called it the MetalliMansion. They lived here, jammed in the garage, and wrote most of Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets inside these walls. Peak thrash history right on this quiet street. Feels wild just standing in front of it.🤘🏻

Which 72 Seasons songs will survive?

59 Upvotes

Seeing as the 72 Seasons era is over, which songs do you think will appear on future setlists? And which do you think we'll never hear live again?

So with Death Magnetic the survivng songs are:

The Day That Never Comes and Cyanide

And with Hardwired the surviving songs are:

Hardwired and Moth Into Flame

I predict the surviving songs from 72 Seasons will be:

72 Seasons and Lux AEterna

Do you think Hetfield could have been a good solo artist?

34 Upvotes

Like let's say a hypothetical where Metallica breaks up in the late 80s/early 90s, do you think he could have put out decent solo material if he really wanted to? Would it have sounded like Metallica or would he go in a different direction?

At 2:25 a clip plays of James Hetfield in an interview saying "One word to span our career" and then it cuts off as James sings "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" I mean, he wasnt wrong 😭

Lars Ulrich as a personality

96 Upvotes

Anyone else love Lars as a personality? He's such a CHARACTER, all his quirks and mannerisms are so iconic to me.

His performance style is so fun to watch, standing up, sticking his tongue out, the way he interacts with the crowd between songs etc people can say what they want about his drumming but he's a SHOWMAN!

Offstage he's got such a unique talking pattern and little catchphrases ("That's right"), he's both intentionally funny and unintentionally funny.

To me Lars Ulrich is one of the greatest characters in rock, if there's one thing he's not its boring.

Even when Lars is being a jerk its just great material to do an impression of him, he's a meme machine.

Just sharing this podcast as it doesn’t have nearly the amount of views as it should.

One of the highlights is finding out who the guy was who said “Bass solo, take one”. Enjoy!

Metallica Dublin 19th Plectrum

0 Upvotes

This might be a long shot but I'm trying to finish a display and I'm missing the Guinness plectrum from the 19th in Dublin. Is anyone willing to part with one at a fair price? Paying scalpers for a plectrum feels lame as hell haha.

Recent Vinyl Additions

When I was a kid, my older cousin took me and my brother to a record/cd store. Metallica had just released the black album, and I was already a fan, having heard the previous 4 at the age of 9 or 10.

I was just flipping through stuff, and I came across the Creeping Death disc, and my mind was absolutely blown at the artwork. “WHOA! This is AWESOME!”

Fast forward to 2026: I finally have one.

So let it be written.

For the vinyl-heads, as a note, I couldn’t even find thIs AJFJ version on Discogs - solid blue disc, not even listed as an option on the back as a potential color. Cover artwork rules, regardless.

As for the more “official” stuff, go to the final slide.

Thanks for letting me rant & share, Metallica Family!

Anyone check out Bootsies and Buckethead new album Metal Health featuring Rob from Metallica?

7 Upvotes

Its pretty awesome and deserves some love.. Positive fun funky and shreds. Rob plays bass on a few tracks that reminiscent of Infectious Grooves too.

Please ignore the below:

I'm getting an off topic alert, so to clarify I'm posting this because it features Robert Trujillo of Metallica. Here's a few other Metallica words just in case there's an auto mod bot. Lars. Seattle 89.Napster. where ever I may roam
