I think Metallica has done some interesting stuff throughout the years, and I have liked parts of it, but my impression is that there's a certain degree of fanaticism about their older stuff (Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning) that I can't say I get (probably since I'm not into metal too too much), and I really haven't paid attention to them in close to 10 years now.

I'll say this much: they have some neat guitar leads and riffs that are fun to learn and pretty easy. I feel like every guitarist knows at least a couple of Metallica songs.
