Metallica's "Through The Never" should be in The Guardians

First Post June 06, 2019 07:12 PM

Almost half of Metallica's "Through The Never" double live album sits more comfortably under the traditional heavy metal banner than the thrash metal one in my opinion. Songs like "Fuel", "The Memory Remains", "Wherever I May Roam", "Cyanide", "Nothing Else Matters" & "Enter Sandman" are good examples of what I'm talking about & I'd also throw an old classic like "For Whom The Bell Tolls" into that category too. So what do you think? Should "Through The Never" sit under The Guardians as well as The Pit?

I'm for this.  Through the Never handles most of Metallica's history, and by the time this album was recorded they had practically stopped being a thrash band for more than 20 years.

Given that the vote tally for this nomination is fairly comprehensive at YES 5 NO 0, I've decided to pass it & have made the relevant database changes. Thank you to everyone who contributed in reaching an outcome that I feel to be correct.
