Shit to some, hard to deny that, but that's more or less what I would listen to Metallica for, one super-simple riff.
Elsewhere, I dislike Melvins when they sound like Metallica covering KISS.

I think the thing is, I feel like
if you're going to do Metallica-esque metal, you may as well be Metallica. If Metallica ever tried to be hip, or anything other than "WERHHHHUUUUGH!!!! FUCKING YEAH!!!! METALLICA!!!!!" then they'd lose everything that makes them Metallica. Boris are ok, because, y'know, that's what Boris do. I just feel like the Melvins are a bit like a metal band it's ok for indie kids to like, or a metal band for people who can't appreciate THE SHRED.
