THIS IS MY OPINION AND NO GENERALISATIONS. OTHERS MAY LIKE SOMETHING ELSE AND I AM NO-ONE TO OFFEND THEM.

I never knew the world could fall to such an extent. Comparing Metallica with Linkin Park ? Mate, there is no comparision. LP is a commercially successful and a very, very over-hyped band. Agreed, it makes some catchy songs which are emo so the massess will love them but technically they are sh1t. Any person who is learning guitar or drums since a week or two can learn almost all of their songs in a couple of days.... while Metallica is quite technical, is really metal and they are one of the fore-runners of thrash genre (alongside Exodus, Slayer and many other)... their songs are very tough to play on any instrument and most of the songs have very good lyrical content to satisfy a young, angry teenager like me
