Read an interesting alternate rock history thing one tim where Dave Mustain wasn't a violent alcoholic freak and stayed in Metallica, and instead of Cliff getting killed in the bus crash it was Lars, and Lombardo came over to Metallica (they were very close evidently). Can you imagine, even for a second, a single band of:
Hetfield: Vocals and Rhythm Mustaine: Lead Burton: Bass Lombardo: Drums
Um, jesus fucking christ, that is the best band ever at pretty much every position. Damn violent alcoholism and damn that bus for not pitching Lars out instead of Cliff. Fuck. Now I'm pissed.
Hefield isn't the GOAT at anything, but otherwise that's pretty fucking tits.
He sort of is though. He did most all of the arrangements for Metallica music, as he was a classically trained pianist. Yes, not the best vocalist or guitarist ever, but he is the jelly in the PJB.
edit: What I mean is someone has to focus that immense talent and make the "intricate wall of noise" sound Metallica invented. That's Hetfield. The jelly.
This got me to thinking, can you imagine that band above, but with Hetfield only doing the musical arrangements and rhythm guitar, meanwhile Ronnie James Dio or Bruce Dickinson are on vocals. I just came.
Sorry, this white boy shit might as well be fine print as far as I'm concerned.
I just don't see it.
Depeche Mode, Violator. The album came out in 1990, Personal Jesus was released in late 1989 as a pre release single. If you count it as 1989 it’s not better than Disintegration.

Perma-boner in thee sweatpants. My minor tweak would be replace Mustaine with Alex Skolnick and Halford or Tate on vocals.
@YellowSnow you could play the intro solo on this track. Main solo? Not so much

I think Fizzle Fry was 1990?
