WASHINGTON — A recent poll among the nation’s random drunk dipshits at the bar have declared 1991’s “Enter Sandman” the best song by thrash metal band Metallica, exasperated sources report.
“Oh hell yeah! Derrrrr der DER DER DER!” drunk shithead Carl Saunder exclaimed mid-air guitar. “Metallica’s the best band there is, brother! There’s nothing better than pounding six or seven Miller Lites and hearing ‘Enter Sandman’ blasting on the jukebox. They just don’t make music like that anymore, man. Today’s metal is just nothing but screaming, which I hate because you can’t tell what they’re even saying. I love listening to the classic metal bands, like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Aerosmith. That’s where it’s at. I know when a guy wearing a metal shirt walks into a bar I’m in, he’s just dying for me to come up to him and start singing the chorus to ‘Enter Sandman.’”
Metalhead Darren Bednar was not surprised at the poll’s result.
“Ugh, as if I didn’t know that already,” Bednar sighed. “The other day I was wearing a Witch Vomit shirt when I went to the bar with some friends, and some inebriated dickhead started talking to me about how Metallica’s 1991 self-titled LP is the best metal album of all time. Look, I love Metallica as much as every other metalhead. They were the band that got me into metal, so I’m happy to headbang to ‘Disposable Heroes’ or ‘Motorbreath’ with some drunk strangers. I’m just not big on their post-’…And Justice For All’ albums, and I’ve most definitely heard ‘Enter Sandman’ enough to last a dozen lifetimes.”
Music expert Candace Downing weighed in on the situation.
“Diehard metalheads put up with situations like this every time they venture out in band merch,” Downing explained. “Having some idiot aggressively humming a Def Leppard song at them because they wore a Cerebral Rot shirt into a bar is unbelievably commonplace, and it isn’t specific to metal. Every bar is filled with intoxicated assholes, and they’re concurrently uninformed and extremely outspoken about every music genre. I promise that these people learned everything they know about metal by watching VH1, so of course they think ‘Enter Sandman’ is the best Metallica song. It’s best for metalheads to avoid making eye contact with these people so as to preclude any interaction.”
At press time, the same drunk dipshits had voted “Sweating Bullets” best Megadeth song.
