    @AnfangSilvester You haven't *discussed* anything. You made your opinion known, and I made mine known in return. I've listened to Excel's song and wasn't impressed, and I think this is a much better song. Feel free to disagree, but know that very few people will give even one fuck about your opinion. Hell, I didn't even expect you to respond to mine, and didn't care if you did.

    Discussing with a Metallica fan boy is pointless.

    @ AnfangSilvester: And Enter Sandman is much better than their song. Get over it.
