A List That Matters
As expected by comparing Metallica to Dylan and Zeppelin, Hilburn shows his severe lack of knowledge of heavy-metal music today.
Otherwise, he would have known to compare them to “contemporaries” such as Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax and Iron Maiden.
Stick to idolizing Springsteen and U2 and leave the “up-to-date” heavy-metal comparisons to someone who is.
