Not a well thought out suggestion: post each of the polls without the seeding numbers. Just the songs.

Have no idea really, but I have the feels that some of the Zeppelin results may have come out differently if the seedings were not included

I can do that, i donā€™t really think it had much effect in Zeppelin but it might in this.

25

Thatā€™s an interesting idea and tbh didnā€™t cross my mind.

26

Iā€™m actually really looking forward to this one. I said before I only know Metallica hits, but I kinda feel like theyā€™re in my wheelhouse so this will be a great opportunity to learn some new stuff.

Petition for a play-in round that includes Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), which should beat most of those chumps seeded 16.

Do it for the man, CLIFF BURTON

Ok, going to get this started with the Playin Round, Iā€™ll leave this open for 72 hours.

There are 6 playin matchups because fuck you thats why. Iā€™m really interested to see how this group plays out because i have some songs in this group i like a fair bit and others I havenā€™t even heard yet.

Can you make the votes public next time? No biggie for the play-ins.

Bleeding Me/Outlaw Torn/Fixxxer I always associate together as the slower (and longer), more melodic, but still very listenable Load/Reload offerings. I probably like Fixxxer the best, but Bleeding Me has the easiest match up (never liked Hero of the Day). Escape is an interesting song, probably my least favorite from Lightning but it has merits.

Oof. Hero of the Day and Bleeding me are both tough to get through. Thankfully they pick up and both have a pretty good second half.

I would like any posters who voted for Mama Said to out themselves.

As someone who loves to hate on post-Justice For All Metallica, the music video for all All Nightmare Long absolutely rules school.

This is bringing me back, havenā€™t listened to a lot of this stuff since Metallica banned me from Napster like 20 years ago.

Voted with the crowd on every matchup except The Outlaw Torn vs Jump in the Fire. The Outlaw Torn is an underrated song imo, one of the better tracks on a pretty bad album. Jump in the Fire is boring and the chorus is annoying. Sounds like material from one of the inferior thrash bands of that era.

The correct answer to Hero of the Day vs Bleeding Me wasnā€™t in the poll, it is of course ā€œwho caresā€.

Probably the only really good song on the album as well.

When in doubt, donā€™t pick anything from Load/Reload.

Sophieā€™s Choice with that first pick.

The S&M version of Outlaw Torn is even better than the original version too.
