Other "Hits" such as "enter sandman" are just simply trash.

Lyrics pointless... examples please, examples. You know my English teacher used to use Metallica lyrics as example for poetry? Oh and dissing Metallica and Iron Maiden in one thread makes you look even worse, any fan of metal music would acknowledge that both bands are great.
Really, if you don't like metal, sure go ahead, but trying to be different and saying a band whose influence on a genre is unparallelled sucks, really doesn't make you look any smarter.
Rens wrote:lmao... Iron Maiden has pointless lyrics while Bruce Dickinson doesn't... you do know Dickinson has been very much influenced by Steve Harris do you? Mostly because they have been in the same band for what almost 20 years with a break in between?
I don't consider The Gathering metal anymore, they're a good band though. And I like most of the bands in your list, I just don't think they're at the level Metallica is at (or has been at, depends on how you look at it).
Overkill wasn't written by Metallica... Seek & Destroy indeed has kinda pointles lyrics, it's mostly a song about someone wanting to start an unfounded fight, the way it happened in LA in those days, written by an 18 year old.
For whom the bell tolls... pointless lyrics.. only they are based on a Hemingway novel you probably don't even know (also called FWTBT by the way) it's about soldiers getting in position on a hill, and then getting killed.
I'm not going to go over all those songs, you just picked some examples which indeed don't have the best lyrics in the world.
I suggest you read the lyrics of, for example, Fade To Black, Master of Puppets, Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, Eye of the beholder, One, The unforgiven, Ronnie (which is about a high school shooting). That's out the top of my head more than you could list with less than poetic lyrics (probably out the top of your head also).
