What I find so interesting about this band is that when they are in their lane they are just superb, and when they try to do anything else.... egad. I strongly suggest you watch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary show where they attempted to be the backing band for Ray Davies. They tried to insult him when they introduced him, and they sucked so hard. And this is the better of the songs they did. They effed up the words and just sound so bad. And it was this every time they tried to play in any other style.

I recall it being contrasted that year with the E Street Band backing up everyone else another night and seamlessly being whatever band they needed to be in whatever style they needed to play in.
And without Metallica, we wouldn't have so many great songs and Apocalyptica, so love them forever.
