I hadnt heard that before. Although I believe Dave had a big influence on the first two Metallica albums.. (So is probably qualified in his criticsims)

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has once again slammed METALLICA over the inclusion of a scene in METALLICA's "Some Kind of Monster" documentary in which METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich sits down with Mustaine for a one-on-one therapy session, calling Ulrich "a treacherous little man" and accusing METALLICA of having "ripped off" the ideas for their biggest hit. Asked by Metal Maniacs magazine what it was like having that confrontation with Lars in METALLICA's "Some Kind of Monster" movie, Mustaine said, "The thing that bothers me is that people are booing my scene in the movie and it's kinda like, 'Listen, dickhead, if I wasn't here, there'd be no METALLICA because James [Hetfield] sang, Lars played drums and there was Ron McGovney [bass]. Did it ever dawn on you that I was the only guitar player? That I had a more integral part than you gave me credit for' You will never see anybody in the history of the world tell that little shit how it is. Everybody else is afraid of him. I'm not afraid of Lars. He's a fuckin' treacherous little man and that's why he can't stay married. That's why everybody in the band can't stand him. Their biggest song, 'Enter Sandman' [Windows Media, Real Audio], was ripped off from a band called EXCEL [referring to the 1989 track "Tapping Into The Emotional Void"; Windows Media, Real Audio]."
"Enter Sandman" currently stands as the biggest hit of METALLICA's career, having peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in August 1991. METALLICA's self-titled "black album" has sold more than 14 million copies in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

I cant believe over five years has passed since we posted in this thread !! Yikes....
I don't really get the Metallica thing especially after watching their film.
I think they are mediocre writers and average musicians with pretty appalling personalities.

Have never been more than a casual fan of them, even when Cliff was alive.
Appreciated the way they went about what they did up until about 1989, in terms of being fairly uncompromising regarding their music, and not intentionally crafting their material in accordance with broad commercial interests (that, and seeing them totally blow Ozzy Osbourne off the fucking stage in 1986; no mean feat for me considering I was lukewarm about their music, but credit where credit was due).
Lars bitching about being passed over for a Grammy in favor of Jethro Tull, followed by their 1991 release, took the blinders off in terms of them being a band bent on making it without the active and sought assistance of the major forces in the recording industry.
Some Kind Of Monster was just a sad movie to watch. Bunch of established, pampered, self-indulgent rock stars unable to create anything without the aid of a career coach, Pro-Tools and endless songwriting consultations. Yes, it may well be typical of what major acts go through, but does anybody really want to see sausage being made? And Saint Anger was such a shitty-sounding album with such weak material (a criticism I can't really level at, say, the Black album); Bob Rock stuck around for a year and a half producing that album and that was the best he could get it to SOUND?
