[Jon]

Cliff Em All pwns.

Burdcheese: where in London do you live?

[Burdcheese]

Isleworth

[Photophobic]

I used to live in Brixton.

[DimebagDarrell]

is garage inc. good?

Its worth getting its got a few good covers on it and one or two not very good ones but definatly worth getting

[Lateralias]

I was thinkin about getting the S&M DVD.... anyone think its good?

[Burdcheese]

is garage inc. good?

All Metallica CDs are good my friend.





*Waits for the inevitable "Not St. Anger" reply*

[GorbAcheV]

S&M is pretty cool.

[Photophobic]

St.Anger was good.
I hope to get the S&M DVD.
I also hope to get Garage Inc.

[GorbAcheV]

In unforgiven the words just don't flow together as i would like them to, sure they make sense if you grab the general gist of the idea but these lyrics feel taped together for me, as in the wording is kind of weird and doesn't feel right


If you read The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald, and compare it to The Unforgiven. The lyrics will make perfect sense.

[DimebagDarrell]

Next on my Metallica list is Live **** rock on!

[Photophobic]

Nest on my Metallica list will be my first 'Tallica album, Ride the Lightening

[DimebagDarrell]

Nest on my Metallica list will be my first 'Tallica album, Ride the Lightening

[sensei]

[Photophobic]

:chug:

[Photophobic]

:chug: as you wish

[sensei]

thanks much.

[Squirrel]

This is just turning into a spam thread now.

Post count [+1].

Anyway, whats everyones favorite Metallica lyric ? ( maybe lyric(S) )

[Burdcheese]

This is just turning into a spam thread now.


True, but wasn't it always?

It also provides a decent place for sensible metallica discussion rather than starting useless new threads that will get 3 replies then disappear for all eternity.

Also we have a goal - to beat the original deathheads thread.

Sensible Metallica Question:
Does anyone know why Metallica use The Ecstasy Of Gold (on S&M, before concerts, etc.)?

[sensei]

its hard to pick the best

[Squirrel]

Does anyone know why Metallica use The Ecstasy Of Gold (on S&M, before concerts, etc.)?

Isnt it from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ?

[Photophobic]

^^maybe because they thought it sounded cool?

[btoto]

maybe lyrics of "One". but i don't know, maybe smth else too.

well yesterday I bought Binge&Purge. that video kicks a$$ :)
they play a part from Orion. man i could nearly swim in tears in that moment. it's so cool. also where Kirk plays with his a$$
and also Lars running during 4 horsemen and his solo

[DonMancini]

=O=O he does that on the video?? **** it I wanna buy it. Too bad it's so expensive :(

[jared]

ahh **** i saw metallica in charlotte last night... best night of my life

[Burdcheese]

^^maybe because they thought it sounded cool?

True, but I was wondering if there was any specific reason/history

[Photophobic]

That deserves more beer!
:chug:

[sensei]

what do you like better

unforgiven or unforgivenII

(IMO unforgiven is better)

[Photophobic]

True, but I was wondering if there was any specific reason/history
I dunno. That's why they used Blood and Seaman for the load covers. They looked through an artbook and thought it looked cool.

I love the unforgivens equaly, for different reasons.

[dblstepinit]

Hey everyone,I'm kinda new so flame away,let me say, I like this site alot.!!.
This is the longest thread I have replied to.I cant say I read the whole thread,,but quite a bit.I noticed alot of people havent even heard some of the Earlier Metallica,if you like them now,check some older stuff.Those guys came out swinging,and will go down that way..They used to be my Fav band through school,,real 80's and 90's metal.You want to hear Lars play some real kicka$$ drums.?get the older stuff,And justice for all is IMO the hardest fastest album they did.Kill em All was smokin!!.Master of puppets another smokin album. And who can forget Ride the Lightning??
Cry out!!I'm trapped under Ice.For whom the bell tolls is one kick riff..Fade to black was always the favorite ballad from them,or Sanitarium.

R.I.P. Cliff Burton,,you Rock,and always will,imo.

If you want to dig deaper in the metal Archives,,check out some Exodus..Kirk Hammett Started those dudes too..cmon,,,Everybody do the toxic waltz..Slam your partner against the wall.!!THATS METAL!!Exodus is some real old school metal,waaaaaaaaaaaaay back..Pick up some of the First Megadeth,and some of the first Metallica,hear how 2 bands split,and made the same songs real kicka$$.

fav lyric,,hmmmmm...ok ...and justice for all. hits home.."Dyers eve" in full.!!real slam it in your face tune.not really digging the new stuff,but mabey i'm just old........I do like how they have tried alot of different things along the way.Much Respect to em'.

[Photophobic]

For who the bell tolls is one kick riff

I think what you meant to say was For Whom the Bell Tolls is one kick-*** riff after another kick-*** riff after another kick-*** riff....

not really digging the new stuff,but mabey i'm just old........I do like how they have tried alot of different things along the way.Much Respect to em'.

Ok, now I've seen everything. Someone said they didn't like the new stuff, WITHOUT flaming the band into the ground!

[Burdcheese]

Ok, now I've seen everything. Someone said they didn't like the new stuff, WITHOUT flaming the band into the ground!

I think in the spirit of the day, that deserves more beer :chug:

what do you like better

unforgiven or unforgivenII

(IMO unforgiven is better)

I prefer The Unforgiven myself.

[Photophobic]

still, I like Unforgiven II as it was the first song i heard which was a sequal.
that too deserves beer :chug:

[Burdcheese]

I can't think of (m)any others...

[Photophobic]

no, neither could I. Except for Iron Maiden. Thy had the Charlotte saga, and the Murders in the Rue Morge saga as well as others.

[dblstepinit]

ok,fixed the spelling,and yeah..Ride the Lightning is in full a kick a$$ album.
:chug: thnx.

[Hard_Rocker]

Could anyone recomend band like metallica that are heavy and have a somewhat similar sound?
No one say iron maiden because they sound nothing like metallica. Metallica is way heavier and James' voice is 10000000000 times cooler.

[Armor O'Malley]

Xentrix

[Squirrel]

Could anyone recomend band like metallica that are heavy and have a somewhat similar sound?
No one say iron maiden because they sound nothing like metallica. Metallica is way heavier and James' voice is 10000000000 times cooler.

Testament ( heavier and faster mostly ), Megadeth, anthrax, Slayer, Exodus.

hmm maybeee try some Pantera - not really the same but very cool none hte less.

*owns all pantera albums*

[Photophobic]

No one's voice is that much cool than Bruce's! :angry:
And they're not so much heavier, as they play totaly different styles of music

Try Misfits. They sound nothing like Metallica, but after I heard some covers from Garage Inc. I got some mp3s and you may like 'em, I did. And so did James and Lars, obviously.

[Squirrel]

Kirk and cliff liked the Misfits a lot more than James and Lars.

[Photophobic]

Really? I knew someone would do that to me. Ok, i just assumed that because they are the most prominent and driving members of the band (and Cliff was dead)that the songs Garage Inc. would be their choices. But still, check out Misfits.

[Hard_Rocker]

these are great thanks. Sorry Photophobic if u like Iron Maiden but they just dont do it for me. And people always mention IM as a related artist to metallica.

[Burdcheese]

I'd agree, they're pretty Incomparable - completely different sounds.

[Photophobic]

these are great thanks. Sorry Photophobic if u like Iron Maiden but they just dont do it for me. And people always mention IM as a related artist to metallica.
Yeah, but I guess it's more because of the status and number of albums. There are also other similarities, but I can't be bothered with little details like that.

As a suggestion though, I would go though your favourite songs on Garage Inc. and get a few songs by those artists.

[Hitroshimite]

If I'm not mistaken, Cliff had a tattoo of the Misfits skull (the fiend, I think it's called) on his right shoulder.

If I'm not mistaken, Megadeth did the sequal song thing to. They had Hanger 18 and Return to Hanger.

[Photophobic]

^^Neither would surprise me. I really ought to start listening to Megadeth.

[Burdcheese]

They're pretty good and (unsurprisingly) similar to Metallica. I still prefer the Met boys though, particularly over Mustaine's voice.

[sensei]

U should they are X-ellent

Try Rust in Peace or Killing is My Buissness

[sensei]

didn't Megadeth inspire metallica?

[dblstepinit]

didn't Megadeth inspire metallica?
not exactly,Dave Mustain,James Hetfeild,Cliff Burton,Lars Ulrich,were all original members of Metallica.Started by James and Lars.Then Dave went out to start Megadeth.

[dblstepinit]

There is a movie out,called "Cliff em all",,you should be able to find a copy of it somewheres,sorry dont know where.I do have it .This is all early Metallica,theres even an interview with all of them.Lots of Metallica history there.great vid for any fan.Helps fill in alot of info.

[Gernm18]

hey guys yesterday i bought guitar world and they talked about some kind of monster(the documental about metallica that's gonna be in theaters soon)

and it seems cool i wanna see it, they said there's part that has dave mustaine and lars talking face to face and that mustaine gets emotional and **** and he says something like "everything u guys do turns into gold and everything we do turns into ****" or something like that

kinda sad

[Hard_Rocker]

Now could people suggest the best albums of Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Xentrix, Misfits, etc cuz i cant buy em all :thumb:

[superpeer]

Slayer - Reign in Blood.

Megadeth - Rust in Peace

[Gernm18]

megadeth-

my favorite is countdown to extinction(kinda like the black album and ajfa)
peace sells- is good too
rust in peace- pretty good too very thrashy
youthanasia- more like load and reload i'd say

[KILLthepoor678]

the best metallica album is "kill em all" probly my favrote CD of all times master of puppets is good too songs like "batery" and "almoast heros"

[sensei]

^a wee bit late dudde
no problems tho

[Hard_Rocker]

well, BACK TO METALLICA

thanks for responding but i dont wanna get this thread off subject

[superpeer]

'Almoast heros'?

[Gernm18]

wtf is disposable heroes dude

[Hard_Rocker]

whoa, this is on the 2nd page. hooowhat?

[Burdcheese]

well, BACK TO METALLICA

thanks for responding but i dont wanna get this thread off subject

:lol: It'll never happen...

[Squirrel]

Slayer - Reign in Blood

Pantera - maybe start with the best of, after that get Cowboys from Hell and / or Vulgar Display of Power.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

bump. i'm bored

[SlaveToTheGrind]

has someone here realised that the drums in the bridge of sanitarium and in the verse of master of puppets are the same?

[Burdcheese]

Similar, but not exactly the same (I think)

[superpeer]

Never noticed.

[Squirrel]

Same in the way that theyre tom rolls ?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Similar, but not exactly the same (I think)
yes but the difference is very small

[Photophobic]

I can't find a tab for Sanitarium :(

[superpeer]

There's a good one on ultimate-guitar.com.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

:lol: http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,m,799,Metallica,Sanit arium,111445

[Photophobic]

*sigh* I meant for drums, so I could check if what you said was true.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

I can't find a tab for Sanitarium :(
you said a tab. not a DRUM tab

[SlaveToTheGrind]

http://www.tabarchive.co.uk/viewtab.php?id=1485

[Photophobic]

Nor did I say guitar tab. And taken in context and given how easy it was for you to find it on Mx, you could have worked out I meant drums.

[Photophobic]

http://www.tabarchive.co.uk/viewtab.php?id=1485

Meh, I got bored of that allready.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

the drum tab was easy to find too

i know this doesnt have anything to do with metallica

BUT I HAVE TO TAKE A S H I T

[Photophobic]

Good luck with that :thumb:

[superpeer]

Oh sorry Photophobic, I assumed you meant guitar.

As a guitarplayer I assume these kind of things. :(

[Photophobic]

lol Superpeer.

SlaveToTheGrind, i am begining to feel I am being mocked!

[SlaveToTheGrind]

why?:confused:

[superpeer]

Let's keep it friendly, guys. :p

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i am always friendly :chug:

[Burdcheese]

We regular posters in the Official Metallica Thread are a close knit community - lets keep it that way :p

Photo: why didn't you look on the newly cleaned up MXTabs?

[UnknowN Doodl3]

WTF? How come this thread is so active only when i'm not around. is that saying something?

Burdcheese, what do you mean by the newly cleaned up mxtabs. I'll have to check it out also , cause if they did clean it up its about **** time.

I've been looking on met's official site for weeks and they still don't have a date for the montreal ticket sales. And when they do go on sale how much time do you think i'll have?

[Burdcheese]

Well only M,N and O in drums :p (I'm nowhere near finished though...)

I cleaned up Metallica first obviously, though I'm still in the process of deleting bad tabs and attempting to find a way to get the 2 x 4 and To Live Is To Die tabs to actually show up.

[Photophobic]

I don't have an Mx Tabs membership (unless this account counts) so I don't get all the best tabs. Can't say i'm that bothered though.

oh yeah, and I'm just a big bundle of friendliness :chug:

[sMURFJEW]

I always though Kirk hammet looked like a woman with his hair, but then i saw a picture of him with short hair. Holy Crap. He looked like a freak. FREAK I TELL YA!!!
Good thing he grew his hair back, id rather him be a woman than a freak.

[Photophobic]

When I was first getting into 'Tallica I thought Kirk Hammet looked like Slash :p

and he has short hair in the Cunning Stunts DVD I think. Doesn't look that bad.

[Burdcheese]

[sMURFJEW]

Slash's hair is so much cooler

[superpeer]

Kirk also wore make up when is hair was short. :amaze:

[Burdcheese]

Slash is all about the Hat... me wants one

[Burdcheese]

Kirk also wore make up when is hair was short. :amaze:

The Booklet/sleevenotes (whatever you want to call them)for Load is perhaps more disturbing than a thousand Cannibal Corpse covers

[sMURFJEW]

Slash is PIMP, especailly when he wares his aviator sun glasses



EDIT: I got the 2600 Post in this thread. Hooray for me!!! :lol:

[Photophobic]

You don't need an account to use them, only to post and rate.
I had heard legend of a magical wealth of tabs which were kept back for account holders olny. Oh well. And Kirk looks cool most of the time, even in make up.

Was this spread by the same people who say that you need to pay MX to get an avatar? :p

[Photophobic]

No, I think I got the idea when I could find tabs on MX using a Goodle search that weren't there when I looked for them under the band name.

[Lateralias]

Hey guys, I just bought S&M and its Fantastic! Wherever I may Roam is awesome.

[Photophobic]

Wherever I May Roam is ALWAYS awesome. I really want to get the S&M DVD :(

[sMURFJEW]

If i was gay i would totally go out with Krik, to bad he is married (i think)

Who would you go out with?

[Photophobic]

Anyone I could get!
Probably Lars :D

[Gernm18]

if i was a chick i would not go out with lars he talks to much and it seems like he has a little dick

james is the man, but he'd have to let his hair long again, he looked funny as ****

[Photophobic]

Whe I saw them live he was headbanging and saw Rob and then looked down into the moshpit and just said "Ha, I wish I had long hair!"

Then a random metalhead blurted out "Why'd ya cut it then?"
That random metalhead was funny :D

[sMURFJEW]

i wish i never cut my hair. I dont want long hair like them metalheads, i want a giant afro.

[Photophobic]

I haven't cut my hair sinse october. I'll probably leave it a few years. Then maybe get it cut for charity. It's great though, all the girls come and put hair bands in it and end up waving thier breasts in my face.


Ah, simple pleasures.

[sMURFJEW]

hahahahahahahaha

[dougefresh]

I'm growing my hair long.. Then getting it braided in the summer :cool:






P.S. I'm a dude

[sMURFJEW]

bump

So, what is there worst song??

I think its
The outlaw torn

eeee, so long and boring

[Gernm18]

^ yeah i never really liked that song,

i dont know my least fav metallica song is seek and destroy it just gets so annoying

[drayax]

hey on the live **** dvd i was surprised to kno that james is pretty good on a drum kit

soz didnt kno that before i saw the dvd...doesnt he play bass as well?

[Steve M.]

Mama Said is the worst metallica song. I think anyway.

[btoto]

If i was gay i would totally go out with Krik, to bad he is married (i think)

Who would you go out with?

well, I guess me too. or maybe Lars. :naughty:

[aicnirvana]

Hey,
Since this is the metallica thread I was wonderin if any1 could answer this Q.

For a gay *** spanish project I gotta no if kirk speaks spanish. Any of you people know???
Thanx

[superpeer]

Roberto speaks Spanish, Don't know about Kirk.

[Metallicat]

Mama Said is the worst metallica song. I think anyway.

I love mama said.

****, you guys spam this forum up a lot. you always have like 5 extra pages by the time i come back to this site :P

[superpeer]

Yeah, we need a new R&M mod to keep things tidy here.


Superpeer for mod

Hey guys, can anyone answer this?

To the best of my knowledge, Metallica had a documentary of the creation of the Black Album. Can anyone tell me if they've seen it, whether this was released on a VHS or anything, and if it is possible to find it anywhere?

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

Don't forget classics like Battery, theres an @$$ kicker haha, also go real vintage hit the lights, the four horsemen, for whom the bell tolls, anything off the black album, attitude from reload has a kick *** intro

[SonofHetfield]

SonofHetfield, use paragraphs, please use paragraphs.
My fault, it was kind of like a free verse i couldn't stop typing or id forget it all and i really dont do editing haha. Ill do better next time i promise. haha

[SonofHetfield]

hold the pick right

ur pick should be under ur thumb like it's gotta fit perfectly and use ur index finger so the pick wont fall , and just let the edge go out(obviously)

try looking for some pics at google of how to hold ur pick right cos it's hard to explain and just practice man it takes a while to get good a picking and some songs are tricky like battery or blackened :thumb:
if you just pick with your wrist, rather than your whole arm moving that way your hand stays about 1/2 inch from the bridge at all times it will greatly increase the dynamics of your playing, you can stop notes whenever you want and they can be distinguished from one another, the music just sounds sharper and cleaner, remember its all about poise, precision and practice, speed is a reward from practice the more you practice the dfaster you'll get

[sMURFJEW]

it took me about a month to get the picking right so i could go fast enough for master of puppets. But then when i learned blackend i was so good at fast all downstroke picking it was easy and i learned it fast.

[DimebagDarrell]

Mama Said is the worst metallica song. I think anyway.

Agreed, that song is **** also i think its called where the wild things are off reload that pisses me off now

[SilenceNOmorE]

i just heard mama said for the first time in a long time not long ago and i lurv it at the moment. Where the Wild Things are ****s me off, I always skip it if I'm listening to Reload. Other than that, the album version of Outlaw Torn isn't that good, but the S&M version kicks ***. Apart from those, I can't really think of a Metallica song that isn't absolute genius.

[Tenacious I]

What was the first song that metallica made?
I've always thought it was Hit the Lights, but a friend of mine says that their first song was some kinda demo that he didnt know the name of
I say thats BS

[superpeer]

Wasn't it Jump in The fire?

[flannagan33]

:thumb: metallica was such a good band and they still are but their new music sucks...its tooo tacky n they are ruining their rep. i think st anger blew it...but thats wat i think....anyways...metallica...best band of all time

[btoto]

no first 'tallica song was Hit the Lights.
james and Lars wrote it even before they formed Metallica.

but there are some rumours that James wrote Motorbreath even before that.
but i'm not sure. even if it's true, James is not Metallica, so the credit
goes to Hit The Lights :)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

what about enter sandman?

[vileguitar666]

[I]My band is playing a cover of the whiskey in the jar song and i just wanted to know.. is that a cover of an irish folk song?? i never knew that till about 4 or 5 months ago...anyways...metallica is great accept st. anger that album blows....i like sweet amber and invisible kid and some kind of monster...but the rest blows....i think that there best song would have to be nothing alse matters or the unforgiven II...

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i not sure whether it is a thin lizzy cover or a traditional song.

[countrymetalfan]

amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

master of puppets
fade to black
the one
enter sandman
the unforgivin

i know there is more, those are just the ones im familiar with:)

Sure...

Nothing Else Matters (basically anything off the black album)
The Unforgiven II
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Call Of Ckulu
Blitzkrieg
Orion
The Thing That Should Not Be
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Die, Die My Darling
Whiskey In The Jar
The Memory Remains

Just a few to start with, I gotta go.

i not sure whether it is a thin lizzy cover or a traditional song.

It's both.

[SonofHetfield]

What was the first song that metallica made?
I've always thought it was Hit the Lights, but a friend of mine says that their first song was some kinda demo that he didnt know the name of
I say thats BS
I know that Hetfield was in a band called Leather Charm before Lars and the formation of the greatest band the world has ever seen, haha, but it seems like i read somewhere Hit the Lights was it, the opening lines "no life til leather" was also the name of the demo that they put out, im not sure but i think that it was HTL.

[lostskater76]

I have a book w/ the history of metallica and it says that there first song was Hit the Lights,
but it might have been called something else

[sMURFJEW]

Anyone gonna see that new metallica movie?

[Vai's_Jem]

I really want to see it.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i'm not going to see it. maybe i'll get it on dvd some day...

[Photophobic]

Whiskey in the Jar was an Irish folk song, and Thin Lizzy did a rendition. Metallica then did a cover of that song.
hope thats made things cyrstal clear :rolleyes:

Does anyone know of any bands other than 'Tallica and Thin Lizzy who have done Whiskey in the Jar?

[RideTheSpiral]

Bumpity. :)

[Ramsey]

I believe Met and Liz are the only two bands that have performed it.

[superpeer]

You did it again, triple poster :angry:

[SlaveToTheGrind]

^^^ that's one reason why i don't like cats

he's talking about the metallica movie some kind of monster.

[when_im_gone]

Hey,
Since this is the metallica thread I was wonderin if any1 could answer this Q.

For a gay *** spanish project I gotta no if kirk speaks spanish. Any of you people know???
Thanx

Sorry, I dont think so. I believe he is Filipino with something else. Although th filipin language does have spanish influence seeing as theywere ruled by the spanish for quite some time so you could say Kirk has some knowledge of spanish. Who knows he probably took it in high school :thumb:

[Burdcheese]

Anyone gonna see that new metallica movie?

It'll probably get added to my ever expanding "Wanted To See But Didn't" list :upset:

[Photophobic]

And in about a year it will get added to my ever expanding "wanted to buy on DVD but wanted to buy Maiden and Metallica CDs more" list

[nirvanafreak]

what genre of metal is metallica

[Hitroshimite]

Speed/Thrash Metal.

[GaryDaNoTrashCougar]

Sorry, I dont think so. I believe he is Filipino with something else. Although th filipin language does have spanish influence seeing as theywere ruled by the spanish for quite some time so you could say Kirk has some knowledge of spanish. Who knows he probably took it in high school :thumb:
Holy **** he's part Filipino?

[Po0sH]

what genre of metal is metallica

hahaa :lol: ...come on man you should know that

[shinnizlegurl]

Metallica rockz! ya imma noob but oh well. wow, i never knew Kirk was part flip, thats crazy. My fav Metallica song has got to be 'Master of Puppets' its awesome! the solo for it at like 5 minutes something is just insane, i still haven't learnt it all yet. i don't really like metallica's new cd (frantic?) but i love all the older ones.

[gernm17]

hey guys i was wondering what do u guys think is the worst song in every album

i'll begin

kea= seek and destroy(gets too repetitive)
rtl= escape(it's allright but could be better)
mop- the thing that should not be(it still kicks *** it's just the weakest song in the album)
ajfa- shortest straw(gets too repetitive but it's still good)
black album-the god that failed
load-bleeding me
reload-better than you( i never liked this song)

st.anger- some kind of monster(gets too annoying and repetitive, that's what happened with most songs, they have some cool parts but they get ruined by other bad parts in the songs)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Kill- metal militia
Ride- call of ktulu
Master- NONE
Justice- eye of the beholder
Black- NONE
Load- poor twisted me
Reload- the unforgiven 2
Garage- free speech for the dumb
St.Anger- whole record

[ThrashMaster27]

Kill 'Em All - Whiplash (Far to overrated)
Ride The Lightning - Escape
Master Of Puppets - Leper Messiah
And Justice For All - The Shortest Straw
Black Album - The Struggle Within
Load - Ronnie (Sounds like an outtake from the Black Album)
Re-Load - Fixxxer (Boring)
St Anger - Purify (Tricky one as they're all ****e)

And Frail! how dare you say Metal Militia is the worst track! it's one of Metallicas best songs!

[gernm17]

yeah man and come on the unforgiven 2 is like the best song in reload

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

you think? its easily my least favourite. re-load was such a great album, i think ill put it on now actually :)

[gernm17]

yeah to be honest i've only heard reload like 5 times i need to hear it more, i love the old albums so much that i listen to them a lot more

[Scotti912]

I'm a newcomer here So bare with me. I just wanted to say that I'm into Metallica very much but I also like GnR, SRV, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Pink Floyd(my favorite band) anything that involves Slash, and any thing that falls into the previous stuff.
I play guitar and am somewhat of a great player in my own right.

My fav songs of Metallica are

Orion
To Live is To Die
Fixxxer
Where the Wild Things Are
Hit the lights
Eye of the Beholder
Dyers Eve


I love every album except St. Anger but that doesnt mean I dont like Metallica any more I am still awaiting another album and if it is similar to St. Anger (hopefully not) I will still buy it to have.

But My favorite albums are

Master of Puppets and Reload


I know I might get bashed for liking Reload so much but Its my type of music that I like to play is moody atmospheric like trippy (somewhat) music.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

you like reload? you'll get smashed :smash: :smash:

i can't believe that everyone likes orion so much. maybe i should listen to it one more time..

[Steve DeBerg]

you like reload? you'll get smashed :smash: :smash:

i can't believe that everyone likes orion so much. maybe i should listen to it one more time..

I felt that way about it to untill I heard it a few more times.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

one minute ago i listened to it again.. but i still don't like it. it's so boring und too melodic in the middle part.. but that's just my opinion ;)

[Photophobic]

Yeah, because if there's one thing early Metallica suffered from it was being too bloody melodic. :)

[DisposableHeroes]

I think its this next album (after st. anger) and they'll call it a day.

really? I think (hopefully) they've got a good while, i mean look at iron maiden ;)

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I believe Met and Liz are the only two bands that have performed it.

Apparently, Grateful Dead have covered it too, i saw a tab of it on mxtabs.net/basstabs
:confused:

[Photophobic]

^^^Yeah, and I hear they'll be at Glastonbury this year too. Maybe they'll play it.

[Burdcheese]

[-=[PaRa]NoIr=-]

Metallica's bores me.
that is my opinion.

[Burdcheese]

^^I suspect this is the wrong thread for you then...

[Drumface_Rob]

Hey has anyone seen the mighty Metallica live? I saw them at reading festival (UK) in August 2003. And i am hopefully goin to see them at download festival (UK) in June 2004. They kicked *** at reading, they were on for over 2 hours. On their last song which was enter sandman i got dehitrated and nearly blacked out! Shame really.

[Squirrel]

Yes i've seen them live - they played for 2 hours and 45 mins.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

^^I suspect this is the wrong thread for you then...
i have to say that metallica bores me too

[Abbath]

Saw metallica a roskilde last year and in Oslo (norway) in december. Both shows gave me a memory I will never forget. They kick *** live!!! I nearly fainted in Oslo because i was in the front and I a quite small guy (170cm) and a lot off people were pushing...hard...bastards...

[DisposableHeroes]

i hope they play damage, inc at download. Blood follows and we'll make sure, life ain't for you and we're the cure

[Squirrel]

^ it's Blood follows blood and we make sure.

[TheZenBassist]

Oooooh.... Let's all talk about a cliche heavy metal burnout band who have a crap rhythm section, flatout irritating vocals and raunchy guitars... Could someone tell me again why this thread exists?

[Hitroshimite]

Oooooh.... Let's all talk about a cliche heavy metal burnout band who have a crap rhythm section, flatout irritating vocals and raunchy guitars... Could someone tell me again why this thread exists?

Because you touch yourself at night.

Anyways, I'm seeing Metallica next October (I know, it's quite a ways off, still…), and I'm really looking forward to it. From what I've heard, they put on one hell of a live show.

[gernm17]

can anyone tell me what the frayed ends of sanity lyrics are about

i've never paid attention but since somebody said it had good lyrics can anyone tell me,i'm just getting into that song

[SonorKen]

Hey, was is the first in the post to say that Lars sucks as a drummer???? Muhahahahahaaa

[SlaveToTheGrind]

I love motorbreath. :(
but i don't like it. :p :)

[Photophobic]

Hey, was is the first in the post to say that Lars sucks as a drummer???? Muhahahahahaaa

Can I be the first to say that you're an idiot????
Give me one reason why he sucks as a drummer.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

tell me one good reason why lars does not suck :)

[Squirrel]

^ He's credited on 98% of Metallicas work.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

are you sure that he's only creditet in 98%? i would say 100% ... but that doesn't make him a good drummer

[Photophobic]

^^He's talented and inventive, what more do you want?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

where's he inventive? i want fast drums and more double bass

[SonorKen]

Can I be the first to say that you're an idiot????
Give me one reason why he sucks as a drummer.

HAHA Im glad you pointed out Im an idiot. I will assure you I am not an idiot although I am alot of other things. Well, if you were a drummer that was worth anything you would realize why most good drummers think Lars is a waste. Metallica should have changed drummers about 8 years ago. His music is un-inspiring, simple, and basically Lars has become lazy. Now, I was a HUGE Lars fan on Metallicas first 2, maybe 3 albums when he actually played drums. After that he became lazy and paid.

Now, instead of calling me an idiot I would suggest you go educate yourself to some of Lars playing. If your a drummer my guess is that you have been playing for less than 2 years and are about 13 years old. Nothing wrong with young drummers, I help them out ALL the time, young drummers just seem to get all riled up when someone picks on poor little lazy rich Lars. SFK.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

hey photophobic. let's so that's all a matter of opinion ok? i don't want to start another debate.

[Photophobic]

"Well, if you were a drummer that was worth anything you would realize why most good drummers think Lars is a waste."
Are you saying I should say Lars sucks just because good drummers do? that's weak dude.

"If your a drummer my guess is that you have been playing for less than 2 years and are about 13 years old."
I've been playing 3 years and I'm 15

"young drummers just seem to get all riled up when someone picks on poor little lazy rich Lars"
I wasn't really getting all riled up, it's just that Lars has been a huge influence on my drumming and I respect him a lot as a drummer, and I wanted to hear your reasons for saying he sucks.

[Abbath]

What is the song Metallica plays BEFORE Ecstasy of gold?? I heard it before the shows I have seen and before the Rock'am Ring concert. I think it a AC/DC song, but I'm not sure. Do you know what it's called???

[SonorKen]

where's he inventive? i want fast drums and more double bass

Hey Slave,

I'll bet you and I have some of the some ideas when it comes to Lars hatred. For me personally I felt like I have been let down by Lars. He fires out the first several Metallica albums and just flat wears the heads off the drums! I was a HUGE Lars fan! He was right there with Peart. Then after he became lazy, stayed lazy, and then tried to re-invent himself with that crap on St. Anger is just really pissed me off. I just feel like he has sold himself out and wasted the best years of his drumming career. I wish I could go back in time and tell him this........

[Photophobic]

I think it's by Aerosmith.

And to Stagefrightken, I'm not saying that he is the perfect drummer, and to some extent I agree that the first 2 or 3 albums were the best of his drumming (from what I've heard of them) for the fast stuff, but it's also the way he plays on the slower stuff that I like. For example the drumming at the begining of one, with just the hi-hats and the bass just blew me away, I don't know why but thought as soon as I heard it that it fitted the guitar riff perfectly, which is the main point of drums, to fit with the other instruments.

[SonorKen]

I wasn't really getting all riled up, it's just that Lars has been a huge influence on my drumming and I respect him a lot as a drummer, and I wanted to hear your reasons for saying he sucks.

To answer your questions 1 by 1, if you will listen to an idiot that is...
1. No, Im not saying you should think Lars sucks because I (myself being a great drummer if I do say so) or any other drummer thinks so. If I had to guess you probably think Travis Barker and Joey Jordison are phenominal too. Well I think they both suck! But thats another arguement. I would like to see you, as a new drummer, move past Lars into some REAL drummers who can inspire greatness. Go tie on some Danny Carey, Neil Peart.

The 2nd part of this "discussion" about you being a new drummer and your age, I pretty much nailed that on the head.

The 3rd part dealing with Lars being an influence. There will be a day in your drumming future, if you continue with it, that you will think to yourself, man, that smartass on the MX forums was right, Lars does kinda suck and he sold himself out. Its great that Lars inspired you at this point of your drumming career. But, as your skills increase, and they will, and they will increase past the skill level of that which Lars has played for the past 10 years, you will discover what all the other more experienced drummers have been telling you. At this time words like Colutia, Carey, Beauford, Palmer, and Bruford will make up your vocabulary.

Now as I told you earlier, an idiot I am not.......

[Abbath]

I think it's by Aerosmith.




Wanna guess what the song is called? I got no ide and I want to know. The lyrics goes like this:

"it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n roll"

That's the only part I remember...

[SonorKen]

Its a long way to the top, by ACDC.

[superpeer]

Stagefrightken, you said you were a big fan of lars' drumming on the first two albums.

Yet, you say he sucks.

It's not because he sucks (from your point of view) now, that his earlier work was erased.

[Photophobic]

If I had to guess you probably think Travis Barker and Joey Jordison are phenominal too.
Joey Jordison is pretty good yes. His double-bass heel-toe technique is quite impressive although he doesn't use the maxim of his technical ability in his songs, presumably because he is not good enough to be able to play it live everytime. Travis is over-rated, but I have nothing against him.

I forget which bands Danny Carey and Niel Pert play for, but I know I don't listen to them. This is why I'm most influenced by Nicko McBrain and Lars, because those are the bands I listen to the most. If you want to recomend some songs featuring those drummers you mentioned at their creative and/or technical best, then I will try and get hold of them.

[livefastdieyoung]

As a fellow drummer,i agree with SFK on this :thumb: .Lars is terribly overrated.A friend of mine is a huge Metallica fan too,and he also thinks lars is the best drummer in the world(even though he knows nothing about drums),and i think that's just plain stupid.

[Dumdidej]

What is it with MetallicA and Napster??

[livefastdieyoung]

Joey Jordison is pretty good yes. His double-bass heel-toe technique is quite impressive although he doesn't use the maxim of his technical ability in his songs, presumably because he is not good enough to be able to play it live everytime. Travis is over-rated, but I have nothing against him.

Danny Carey(Tool) - try Schism,Sober,Ticks and Leeches
Neil Peart(Rush) - Sorry,don't know any songs

[Photophobic]

^^Thanks.

And to Dumdidej, Metallica were very prominent in the anti-file sharing campaign, and they sued Napster over it, as did Dr.Dre.

[RideThePuppets]

Message to SlaveToTheGrind- Your avatar rocks. Sweet guitar, is it yours? What make/model is it?

I've been playing guitar for a year now, started off on a 20 year old acoustic, then found Metallica and had to go electric! :thumb: Currently playing an Epiphone SG.
Favourite songs to play are Fade to Black, M.O.P, Creeping Death, Sanitarium (have just nailed the second solo bit) and Sandman. Anyone got any tips for playing Four Horseman and Blackened? I can't get the rhythm right.

[SonorKen]

Danny Carey(Tool) - try Schism,Sober,Ticks and Leeches
Neil Peart(Rush) - Sorry,don't know any songs

Hey LFDY! Caught me over here did ya! Well the drum forum is boring today so I thought I would try to do some good over here hehe!

Ok, Rush, Spirit of Radio, Free Will (check out that hat tempo!), and Tom Sawyer.

Tool, Sober is Tools most popular song but it is kind of easy to play. You wanna hear some Carey in his finest listen to "The Grudge, 46&2, Aenema (which I was playing last night at practice), and really just about anything on Lateralus (the CD.)

Go buy the Lateralus CD and give us a report tomm.. SFK.

[Photophobic]

Anyone know where I can hear those songs without paying for it?
