500 greatest albums

EUOL:
No Leaf is one of their infamous 'Live Only' songs.  

Anyway, I've never seen those T-shirts.  However, I'd also never heard the phrase before I heard No Leaf.  I wouldn't be surprised if it came from somewhere else, and Metallica used it.  However, I hold to my premise that it's not a cliche (at least to me) if it isn't over-used.

Perhaps it was regional.  You do come from different section of the country from myself.

The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
actually, it's not so much that it's cliche, but that it's much more often used as a joke by people who think it's hip to be pessimistic. So hearing Metallica trying to growl it out makes it lose a lot of the impact they intended.

PW:
I personally don't think that compilation/greatest hits/live albums should be included on a list like that.  Just me.

The Jade Knight:
PW, read the FAQ, PLEASE, before resurrecting other old threads.  If you'll notice, the last post here was almost 6 years ago!
