"Rock music has always
inspired fans and creative types alike, empowering and influencing them
personally, sonically and artistically. Some examples of the influence of
Metallica's music on artists are with Obey Giant's renowned street artist
Shepard Fairey and his politically driven propaganda art. One could make the
connection between Fairey's art and an album like Metallica's ...And Justice
for All. Starting in the early 1980's, iconic skateboarder, Steve Caballero
during skate competitions would correlate his music with his aggressive skate
style, he would insist to organizers to turn up the volume and blast songs off
Metallica's Kill 'Em All album. Contemporary Metal band Black Veil Brides' 20
year old frontman Andy Biersack, grew up listening to Heavy Metal music. One of
his most fond memories of early adolescence, was sitting in his living room
with his childhood friend watching Metallica VHS tapes. They would thrash
along, singing every lyric and banging their heads until their necks felt as if
they had been in a car crash. He states "As I got older and began to write
my own songs, the tone and style of James' lyrics and singing became a huge
influence to me. The use of religious and cult metaphors and tenacity with
which he sang was something I aspired to, and to this day continue to be
inspired by. Metallica to me is the quintessential Heavy Metal band. Equal
parts darkness, intellect and vitriol". These are just a few examples, but
there have been millions more who have drawn influence from Metal music,
specifically from Metallica. Many of these artists are from all walks of life,
they are now leaving their own indelible marks on the world and are driven in
part by the intellectual rebellious lyrics of Metallica. Most of these creative
fans have never had the opportunity to do any art related to the band..."
