The 1975 Singer Calls Metallica The ‘Worst Band Of All Time’


Since forming in 1981, Metallica has become one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, selling more than 125 million albums and winning nine Grammy Awards. But, apparently, not everyone likes them.

Just ask Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975. His distaste for Metallica goes far beyond simply not liking them. “I hate Metallica,” Healy says. “My worst band of all time.”

Healy’s comments come after the TV show Stranger Things helped put the band’s “Master of Puppets” back on the charts.

The show did the same thing for Kate Bush’s “Running Up that Hill,” which Healy’s happy about. He says he’s an “absolute” Kate Bush fan.

This isn’t the first time Healy has spoken out against Metallica. In an interview with The Face, he said,

“I was never into Metallica, I liked Slayer and bands like that. Stuff that I was into was bands like Converge, Glassjaw, the more post-hardcore kind of stuff…I was super into Poison the Well and, I mean, Refused are probably my favorite heavy metal band of all time, that was a big deal for me. It was in the Despair collection, the AFI fan club, and all that kind of stuff.”

The 1975 recently announced a tour along for their new album “Being Funny in a Foreign Language”, but it looks like Metallica fans will not be purchasing any tickets.
