Metallica Inc.

[I love You]

I think on average james's solos are better than kirks, well then again james doesnt play that many solos.

[Endless Obsession]

James is the best rhythm guitarists, and kirk is very good, Kirk has more speed, but i think james' rythm is awesome and so are the few solos he plays.

STaying kind of on the same subject, what order are there three bassists in ability level. I would have to say:
1. Cliff Lee Burton
2. Robert Trujillo
3. Jason Newsted

[I love You]

Trujillo is good no doubt about it. But i prefer jason and cliff more

[Endless Obsession]

I agree that jason is more known as a metallica bassist but i think that robert has a better ability at the instrument. After cliff though the use of the bass declined. When they had cliff they could write songs like call of ktulu, pulling teeth etc. cliff is definitly the best IMO

[I love You]

Songs like My friend of Misery and the god that failed have good bass riffs and they were written by jason.

[scboarderchick]

Wow... im pretty stoaked on this thread. Metallica is by far my favorite band and daily i'll get **** for it since im a chick... but let me tell you... they rock. And i've taken up the guitar and i've been learning tons of thier songs. My favorite ones to play woudl have to be master of puppets and am i evil? those songs rock. Among many others.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Trujillo is good no doubt about it. But i prefer jason and cliff more
if trujillo would have been burton. i'm sure you would prefer trujillo

where do you get this list from?

[superpeer]

Well, if you click the postcount of a thread, you get that list.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

that doesn't work :(

[superpeer]

It's a pop up, you might wanna turn off the pop up stopper.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i don't have the password for my firewall :(

[superpeer]

Hot. ;)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

a bc rich short would be cool to wear. but i can't find a place where i can buy them

[superpeer]

Or you can just wear this.

[gernm17]

thats so coool. then to hear it play backwards like on media player its like.the intro for actual blackened :lol:

how can u play it backwards :amaze:

[Burdcheese]

3000, and I missed it

"Damn you Sleep!"

[I love You]

if trujillo would have been burton. i'm sure you would prefer trujillo

Ya, but unitll Trujillo proves himself worthy i will still prefer the others better

[Squirrel]

Bump ??!!0one!?

[Monkey-Fella]

I like Trujilo. He braids his a*s hairs.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Or you can just wear this.

;)
no i'm not i girl and i don't like wearing thongs ;)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

I heard a good theory as to why there are no guitar solos on St.Anger:
"Kirk couldn't be bothered to work out all his scales for drop C"
and even if that is true. why hasn't james worked out the scales?

[superpeer]

no i'm not i girl and i don't like wearing thongs ;)

Ha, I was just joking, man. :thumb:

[serte]

For Drop C, the way to play the scales would be the exact same but two frets higher (excapt on 6th string...)... If you know in Standard Tuning, you know in Dropped C... In Load and Reload they play with Eb and they played solos anyway...

[I love You]

Fuk me if im wrong but i think He was joking when he said that kirk didnt want to leanrn the scales in C

[superpeer]

We will probably never know.

[Po0sH]

Anyone know how metallica write their songs? Do they write riffs, then lyrics around it? or lyrics, then riffs?

[Squirrel]

James says its they jam to find some riffs - work over them. He then works out vocal harmonies and tunes around a theme. He sings *na nanaan na* over demos then fits in lyrics over the syllables. Solos and effects are last.

I got all that from the Black album DVD.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Ha, I was just joking, man. :thumb:
i know :thumb: :chug:


^^^ that's why lars is credited in so much metallica songs

[Burdcheese]

I got all that from the Black album DVD.

Is it worth getting?

[Squirrel]

I like it, yeah. 'Tis cool to see them talking about it. Has some cool extras on the end of it.

[Burdcheese]

I might consider it... its at the bottom of a very long list of CDs/DVDs/Musical Instruments though

[Squirrel]

Uhu, the Carcass DVD blows it out of the water mind.

[Photophobic]

I've missed this thread, it feel good to be home!
:chug:

[Burdcheese]

Welcome back! :chug:

Been anywhere nice?

[Photophobic]

My mums 50th birthday. We went camping with a bunch of aged hippies. Sat round the campfire talking about Metallica with one of the best guitarists I have ever met. Then we started singing Rolling Stones and Led Zeppling with his acocustic.

Stairway to Heaven modification:
And then some more verses
if we knew them we would sing them
but we don't, so we go to the rocky bit

[Burdcheese]

Sounds good - the chances of me talking about Metallica at the 50th birthday party of anyone I know are slim indeed...

[Photophobic]

exactly. I kept the faith alive, lets put it like that. I swear at one point he started playing Sandman but them changed it quickly when someone suggestted an older song.

[superpeer]

I was just looking at the first posts of this tread and realized that I had asked a question many months ago and it never got answered.

It was:
Is there a reason that James Hetfield sings the word 'motorbreath' in such a peculiar way or is it just a speaking disorder?

[Burdcheese]

Moootttaaabreath!!!

[dougefresh]

I don't think it's a speech disorder, he probably just does it like he does his "YEAH!!!" and "Oooooohh"

[gernm17]

maybe the reason is cos it sounds good

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i have never hear motorbreath :cool:

[superpeer]

^
Listen to it, it's a great song.

[LordDargon]

How does it go again... oh man it's funny... "take your stinky breath away" or something. Haha. :lol:

[SlaveToTheGrind]

^
Listen to it, it's a great song.
maybe i'll download it if i have time. is there a fast solo?

[superpeer]

Reasonably fast I think, but not very long if I remember correctly.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

that's good. don't like long hammet solos

[Burdcheese]

Its a pretty short song - not their best

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i like it :)

[Photophobic]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we mean when we say 'conversion expirience'

[Burdcheese]

How so?

[Photophobic]

he hadn't expirienced it before. You converted him. Now he likes it.

[superpeer]

Deep, man.

[dougefresh]

I like the riff in the beginning :)

(of Motorbreath)

[I love You]

I like the opening riff to seek and destroy

[Lateralias]

I have question on the song "Wherever i May Roam". Can any of you tell me what the sound is played at about 0:29, 0:37, 0:48, etc...... Im thinking it might a be a peice of percussion or perhaps even a guitar effect. If anybody can tell me what sounds this is then thank you.

[Scotti912]

I think its just a hammer hitting a big metal train rail looking thing. You will hear that sound if you walk into a steam mill

[Zmev]

I dunno, they did do a good cover of Turn the Page

[Allrockrocks]

I thought it was a bass effect???

[Toozey]

12 string bass me thinks.

[Squirrel]

Yup 12 string bass - they say so on the DVD.

[Photophobic]

mmmmmmmmmm.............stringy

[Burdcheese]

I dunno, they did do a good cover of Turn the Page

They did indeed - my favourite song on Garage Inc.

[Burdcheese]

mmmmmmmmmm.............stringy

You worry me sometimes...

[shaelmone]

erm...

[Burdcheese]

erm...

What exactly?

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

the solo at the beginning of The Prince on Garage Inc. is the sickest ****ing guitar solo i have ever heard

[Ivan_Larsen]

anybody have any oppinions on how metallica treated Jason Newsted....I think they were pretty unfair towards him...I think he desirved a lot more than they gave him...It had to be hard for metallica to lose Cliff but thats not an excuse to treat Jason like they did.

[+mekava+]

i just got tickest to the madly in anger with you tour.. 28.04 in helsinki...
and i hope i didnt waste 60€ to see them play only songs on st anger..

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Nah man, look at Livemetallica.com, they only do about 2 St Anger songs per show, mostly classics :thumb:

[Kickflip_Burrito]

and in reply to you Ivan_Larsen, Newsted was my favourite member and he wudn't have quit if Tallica weren't so harsh to him

[SlaveToTheGrind]

^^^ don't you think 60€ are too much for a metallica concert?

[Toozey]

Sounds about right to me.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

that's so much money.. :upset:

[Toozey]

Metallica cost alot to see.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

but i think 60€ are too much. for 60€ i would be able to go to 10 lost prophets concerts :lol:

[Toozey]

Metallica are worth it methinks.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

if you think so.. ok.

[superpeer]

but i think 60€ are too much. for 60€ i would be able to go to 10 lost prophets concerts :lol:

Yeah, you would be able to do that, but Why would you do that. :confused:

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i would never got to a lost prophet concert. i've just compared the prices for a metallica and a lost prophets concert ;)

[Photophobic]

Lost Prophets are ok live. Better than Linkin Park, whom they were supporting when I saw them. I saw Metallica the next week :)

[LordDargon]

ANYTHING is better than linkin park. Evne Good Charlotte is better FOR FUC.KIN CRYING OUT LOUD.

[Photophobic]

Quite possibly.

[LordDargon]

Glad you agree. :)

p.s. Nazi Bassist is a pus.sy and listens to linkin park :eek:

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

i just got tickest to the madly in anger with you tour.. 28.04 in helsinki...
and i hope i didnt waste 60€ to see them play only songs on st anger..

Dont worry, i just saw Metallica live in San Francisco and it was so awsome. They only played 3 songs from St Anger and the rest was all really good.

[Burdcheese]

ANYTHING is better than linkin park. Evne Good Charlotte is better FOR FUC.KIN CRYING OUT LOUD.

Are we talking about the same Good Charlotte here? Linkin Park aren't so bad as to receive such an insult...

[LordDargon]

They are the worst "band" on earth! Meaning that ANYTHING is better than them! Including GOOD CHARLOTTE the guys with that song that goes "little things little things"

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

i hate linkin park, but GOOD CHARLOTTE? ARE YOU INSANE? LINKIN PARK ARE ****ING GODS COMPARED TO GOOD CHARLOTTE

[LordDargon]

No.

45

[God Dosarod]

linkin park is pretty good.

[superpeer]

Finish your retarded discussions outside the Metallica thread, please.

[Toozey]

hahaha

[LordDargon]

:(


linkin park is teh suck

[Burdcheese]

To get the thread back on topic:
Anyone else going to see them on the European leg and if so where?

[superpeer]

I'm seeing them in Werchter.

[ToolOwnz]

OH MY F*CKING GOD! The best thrash ever? Everyone is a copy of Metallica? You dumb f*cker. Let me begin to tear into your flesh.

1)Last time I checked, Kirk Hammett couldn't play even half as fast as Kerry King, Marty Friedman, Dan Spitz, Jeff Hanneman, or anyone from Dark Angel, Testament, or Exodus.
2)Metallica are good thrash, not GREAT thrash. Anyone who knows the Thrash genre well know that our genre was defined by those with a great loyalty to the thrash underground. These bands still love their original fanbase, and haven't stabbed the thrashers in the back. These bands include Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Dark Angel, Kreator, and almost every other Thrash band except for Metallica.
3)Metallica isn't a thrash band anymore. They've turned Mallcore, and I hate them for it. They still sound good live, but only when the older stuff is played. If I met James or Lars in person, I would jusk ask them why they did it. Because of fanboys such as yourself, great albums went unnoticed because of the wait for St. Anger, which was the biggest dissapointment in metal history since Halford left Judas Priest. The albums unnoticed: The World Needs a Hero, We've Come For You All, God Hates Us All, and many more.

Need I explain more? Oh, for the TRUE thrashers, feel free to put in anything that I missed.

First of all pull your panties out of your *** its constricting blood flow to your head. Lets do the paragraph by paragraph.

First of all. I said WAS and I. metallica WAS the best thrash ->I<- ever heard. meaning long ago and meaning my opinion. That means my perspective and that doesnt mean Im a dumb f*cker. Maybe you should try improving reading comprehension. I bet you didn't even read my whole post. OK.

1) First of all, the only guitarist you mentioned in there that could be decidedly "better" than Hammet would be Freidman and Skolnick. They are above most other musicians in general and are virtuosos. Every one else on your list does not own hammett. ESPECIALLY Hanneman and king. Are you f*cking kidding me? Their solos are the most non musical **** ever, they dont even play scales they just make up their own BS scales that have zero melody and zero impact on the songs. Spitz is ok, but I dont see him being much better or worse than hammett. Rhythm wise, I do not see a difference in the fast slayer riffs like alter of sacrifice, etc and riffs like Disposable heroes or dyers eve.... Listen to Justice solos and tell me they are not "fast", since fast seems to be your small minded view of "great thrash".

2) uh. ok. Your saying metallica sold out but megadeth didnt? WTF was insomnia? LAME A$$ $HIT is what it was. SELL OUT MUSIC. as far as testament, they had skolnick, but after a while I began to see their true nature, just a metallica clone. And they do not write better songs than metallica. Most of testaments sh!t is pretty cheeseriffic.

An example of slayer selling out.-->God Hates Us All.

3) you are obviously a troll. If you would have bothered to read the entire thread you'd know that I hate new Metallica, and love old metallica. so shut the f*ck up.

great albums the world needs a hero and god hates us all? rofl. great sh!tty sellout albums yea.

[Ivan_Larsen]

I agree kickflip! Newsted was my fave member. He was so energetic and full of life! Loved him! But the way Metallica treated him just makes me sick! they killed most of his riffs and said "here...play this...." Ofcourse he had to leave! no musician can take that crap.....

[gernm17]

Dont worry, i just saw Metallica live in San Francisco and it was so awsome. They only played 3 songs from St Anger and the rest was all really good.


hey i was there too, do u have msn or aim?

I will see them again on the European leg.

[Korneel]

I already saw them twice, and I'm going to see them again July 2nd.

[superpeer]

^

Werchter? :)

[homestar_punk]

i liked metallica's older stuff better than there new (who doesn't?), but my favorite song out of all would be master of puppets.

i like how it goes from there normal stuff in that song, to nice and soft and slow, then to unique solo's

i also like enter sandman, its a preety well balanced song.

lets try to keep this thread alive
:evil:
you know somethin funny? those are the only two poser songs... poser

[mosadon]

MetallicA rules the world and everything that comes in their way

yeh, i got pretty annoyed when I found out about how Newsted was treated, it would've been interesting to see how Load and Reload would've sounded if he got a say and helped write the music and lyrics. Its sad Newsted left and an error cos now he doesn't have much going. Well anyway, lets just see wot happens with the next Metallica album with Rob

[Burdcheese]

Furthermore I think it's of great credit to Jason, that despite all this he is still quite supportive of the band.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

^^^ Hell yeah

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

:evil:
you know somethin funny? those are the only two poser songs... poser
So your saying those songs arent good? Is your mind so weak that you cant step outside the "thats poser, thats not" world and admit that those songs are better than anything you will hear for a long time.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

If Rob were to quit or something happened that stopped him from being a musician, do you reckon Jason Newsted would ever return or do you think Metallica would get a new bassist altogether?

[~Hendrix's Ghost~]

i think Metallica should quit while their ahead

[Zmev]

i think you should quit while you're over there

[metalhead2354]

Metallica isn't ahead right now i liked St anger but it was not even close to the old stuff they need to come out with another album to say f*** you to all of the haters then they can quit.
by the way i think phantom lord off of KEA is a kicka$$ song i haven't seen anyone mention that one yet!

[dougefresh]

:evil:
you know somethin funny? those are the only two poser songs... poser

What the **** is a poser song?

[Burdcheese]

i think Metallica should quit while their ahead

They're not really ahead anymore... they need another seminal album first.

[I love You]

They are still ahead of most bands

[ToolOwnz]

What the **** is a poser song?

Poser song: something made up by some sh!thead so he can harass another poster for liking a song.

Even though I hate enter sandman, I love MoP. how can you say master is 'poser', or even associate it at all with Enter Sandman. Anyone who claims that a Cliff Burton tune is a 'poser song' should be taken out back and put out of his poser misery. :rolleyes:

[homestar_punk]

So your saying those songs arent good? Is your mind so weak that you cant step outside the "thats poser, thats not" world and admit that those songs are better than anything you will hear for a long time.
i never said they were bad im just sayin they have a lot more than just what you hear on the radio every day

[ghettoeddo]

Anyone who claims that a Cliff Burton tune is a 'poser song' should be taken out back and put out of his poser misery. :rolleyes:

hahahaha.

when he says poser song, does he mean "the songs that everyone knows and associates with that band when they hear 'metallica'?"

[ToolOwnz]

hahahaha.

when he says poser song, does he mean "the songs that everyone knows and associates with that band when they hear 'metallica'?"

honestly i think he just wanted to be a dick. But master is a great tune. I dont give a **** what song gets played on the radio,if its a good song, its a good song. I can't listen to those 'poser' :rolleyes: radio stations that play metallica and tool inbetween good charlotte and the white stripes.

[gernm17]

^ **** right, enter sandman is a great song and so is nothing else matters just because they've gotten popular doesnt mean they're being posers, **** i wish i had wrote those riffs who wouldnt want those songs as their own

[clown_phobia]

enter sandman is great. I like it more the more i hear it.

[Ivan_Larsen]

I love the blackened Riff...enter sandman is good...but I think most of the songs in ...And Justice for all are way better than Enter sandman....don't get it why that song gets so much attention when metallica have written a lot cooler songs.

[Lateralus23462]

I think Master of Puppets is one of their best songs, but I think it's a little overplayed on the radio. I never hear anything like Ride the Lightning, Battery, or Disposable Heroes on the radio.

ToolOwnz, just out of curiosity, what's your favorite Tool song?

[clown_phobia]

which of their songs would you say are the most heavy and catchy?

[clown_phobia]

sorry, i meant which album

[Ivan_Larsen]

and justice for all! love that album! COLOUR OUR WORLD BLACKENED!!!

[SlaveToTheGrind]

can't we do something that only mxicans with over 400 posts are able to post here? :)

^^^^^^^^ i've never heard a metallica song on radio. maybe that's because my mum only listens to radio stations that play oldies :upset:

[Dooflungerfletchface]

or maybe it's cuz Metallica sucks *** and shouldn't be aloud to make music except for Kirk Hammet everyone else in that band is a gay waste of semen.

uh, lets hear your masterpiece doodooflinger. unless you have music that is better than metallica you shouldnt be making rulings on whether a band that has sold millions and millions of records and pleased millions of fans with live shows should be able to make music. tard. So please post your music I want to hear your ingenious riffage.

[when_im_gone]

All right lets do something never done before on the Metallica forumn... How about you guys post up recordings of your selves playin any metallica riff or solo wouldnt that be fun ill post min as soon as i find my adapter

[Photophobic]

ToolOwnz, don't be silly, guitar takes brains, he's clearly a singer.

I would post myself playing, but I'm a drummer and no one wants to hear me sloggin' out those beats for 7 minutes with no guitars.

[bentera69]

yeh i agree with ToolOwnz , dooflungerfletchface is clearly a retarded squirell shager.
wots the point in posting things like that in the official metallica thread, if you don't like the band and can back up your statements then fine but dont be and arsehole.
Everyone in the band are talanted musicians and i can't remember reading anywhere that jaymez or lars or rob are gay?

[Squirrel]

is clearly a retarded squirell shager.

[Burdcheese]

what was everyone's first metallica album?

I downloaded a lot of their stuff before getting into them. I couldn't choose between their albums so ended up getting St. Anger first. MOP and RTL were bought soon after.

[superpeer]

I got MOP first, I think.

No wait, AJFA I had first but that was copied.

[Squirrel]

I got MOP first, I think.

No wait, AJFA I had first but that was copied.

Thats the order i start with :eek:

[Irish Nostalgic]

My first was Ride The Lightning.

Closely followed by Master Of Puppets and . . . And Justice for All.

[superpeer]

Thats the order i start with :eek:

:eek:

[Burdcheese]

What are the chances, huh?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

s&m -> black (burned) -> terminator -> ?

[skate112344]

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:)

I love to play seek and destroy it sounds awesome and at the same time its easy to play

METALLICA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[skate112344]

my first was the black album

[SlaveToTheGrind]

congratulations. your 100th person to quote this

[Armor O'Malley]

I got Master Of Puppets first.

[RockerGav]

Who originally did "So What?"

[btoto]

the first 'tallica album i bought was:
1. S&M (pirate version)
2. Kill 'em All (my favourite)

after 3 months:
3. Master of Puppets
4. ...And Justice for All

after 1 month:

5. Ride the Lightening

after 2 weeks:

6. St.Anger

after 3 months:

7. Black album

planning to get Reload or Garage Inc. can't decide which one first. any suggestions?

[Squirrel]

Garage'; it slays Reload purely because it has the Mercyful Fate medley on it.

[ToolOwnz]

Ok been a while since i got on but hey MR. Toolownz are you sayin that because Metallica sold millions of albums and pleased millions of fans that means they are awesome?

yes doo the fact that we the fans still go to metallica concerts and spend our hard earned flow on a metallica show is proof that metallica still perform as well or better than any other metal act out there. In your words, yes, they are 'awesome'. Have you ever seen metallica live?

All right lets do something never done before on the Metallica forumn... How about you guys post up recordings of your selves playin any metallica riff or solo wouldnt that be fun ill post min as soon as i find my adapter

This was on my audio arena but here is a cover of Orion:

Its the third or fourth song down. Just me and my brother, he is the drummer, and Im doing the guitars and bass.


what was everyone's first metallica album?

I got justice for my 14th bday along with a guitar/amp, and the justice tab book.Its the first real metal I ever heard. (i heard dokken before that, but that is almost hair metal, although george lynch pwns.)

Thanks :)

[Burdcheese]

Our lame attempt to cover one of the greatest songs ever written.

Don't put yourself down - Great cover ToolOwnz

[I love You]

On guitar i can play:

Master of puppets
fade to black
one
fuel
welcome home
for whom the bells tolls
enter sandman

What should i learn next. So many choices

[btoto]

try Kill 'em All stuff. every 'tallica fan must play the 4 horsemen. an awesome song actually !

[ToolOwnz]

thnx. My brother told me he remembers listening to orion all the time while he was a kid lol, so that song is pretty much ingrained into both of our dna. I think the reason I liked it so much was becuase I originaly heard MOP on a recorded cassette, that didnt have the whole album. It cut off half of orion. I only heard the beginning of the bass solo, so i never knew for a while what was on the other side of that song. Once I got the real one, i wigged out when I head the real ending, its been my fav ever since. Plus i heard damage for the first time so that was cool. :lol:

I think my favorite metallica songs to play on the guitar were (looong time
ago) Damage, Blitzkring, Shortest Straw, and Disposable Heroes.. (i been playing guitar forever and I still cant play the song all the way through non stop. I get f*cking cramps at the end of the first verse right before the pre chorus, and of course the pre chorus is insanely faster than the verse, ow.)

I also liked playing Garage days- Green hell, helpless, the wait; they are so cool to jam with, esp cuz they're pretty easy songs to learn.
My fav on that record was probably small hours. That songs kicks ***.)

[I love You]

yes doo the fact that we the fans still go to metallica concerts and spend our hard earned flow on a metallica show is proof that metallica still perform as well or better than any other metal act out there. In your words, yes, they are 'awesome'. Have you ever seen metallica live?



This was on my audio arena but here is a cover of Orion:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/markmattermusic.htm

Its the third or fourth song down. Just me and my brother, he is the drummer, and Im doing the guitars and bass.



I got justice for my 14th bday along with a guitar/amp, and the justice tab book.Its the first real metal I ever heard. (i heard dokken before that, but that is almost hair metal, although george lynch pwns.)


^^^ that is the **** best Orion Cover i have ever herd!!. You are hella fu(king crazy good!!!

[M1e2t3a4l5l6i7c8a]

Metallica

wut can i say besides the fact that they make the best music i have ever heard

these songs move me
-one
-nothing else matters
-unforgiven
-fade to black

[Maheswaranus]

Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!") :D

[M1e2t3a4l5l6i7c8a]

i cant say that i have but if i could hear any of there songs i would want to hear one

[M1e2t3a4l5l6i7c8a]

is the st anger album that bad
i know its not as good as the old stuff but its still metallica and the unnamed feeling just does it for me

[FatalEnergy]

Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!") :D


Either Creeping Death or One

[Rhoadmaster]

I'd kill somebody if I could see Dyers Eve live....course I'd kill just to see Metallica live...

[pinkbassboy88]

Iwould have killed if I could have been there at Woodstock when they played One. :cool:

[ToolOwnz]

Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!") :D

Creeping death is cool, One is prolly the best though, that was tight. Even black album stuff that I didnt like all that much souded a lot better live like wherever i may roam. They are 2nd behind Tool as far as my favorite Live show. Tool puts on an amazing experience, but Metallica perform very well live. Lots of energy.They played a lot of **** when I saw them during the black album tour. they played like 3 hours, they came out for 2 encores.The massive stage setup where they were all changing places was cool. And Lars was still using the old white massive drumset, and jason was the only one with the short hair :thumb:

[Dooflungerfletchface]

Ok well anyways Metallica still sucks in my mind but hey ToolOwnz nice Guitar Work on that song.

[fillmaker]

they may be losing their talent, but when they retire only will their greatness in the old songs be forever remembered, therefore making them once again the greatest band in the universe

[Griffin_Page]

They never were the greatest band in the universe, there are many bands better. Metallica are good, and yes, only their good stuff will be remembered.

[gernm17]

i just bought my guitar world issue of this month and it came with a dvd that had a sneak preview of some kind of monster(just like 5 mins of it)

it was very cool imo it's like u see their lives and stuff i like kirk a lot he seems like a very nice guy he surfs and stuff i think i'm gonna love this movie

[clown_phobia]

how good is the black album?

[Zmev]

Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!")

Creeping Death and Dyers Eve

and to ToolOwnz: That was a good cover

[M1e2t3a4l5l6i7c8a]

Ok well anyways Metallica still sucks in my mind but hey ToolOwnz nice Guitar Work on that song.


if u dont like metallica then get the hell out

[wom666]

metallica are the best band ever. fucI<ing great live. i saw them last january in sydney, australia. the kicked ***.
every song is great by them.

[Rhoadmaster]

I've never seen them live before :upset: :upset:

[clown_phobia]

are metallica coming back to aus soon?

[ghettoeddo]

what was everyone's first metallica album?


a little late...but RTL. i didnt' buy it either, dl'ed em and burned teh CD ^^

[clown_phobia]

i'm thinkin of the black album as my first.

[gernm17]

how good is the black album?

very good in my opinion, hetfield's singing got a lot better in this album it's more of a hard rock album than metal or thrash but it's still good

i think the best songs in that are
nothing else matters
enter sandman
my friend of misery
holier than thou
wherever i may roam

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!")
i've never seen them live, and i will never do (well, maybe ;) ) ONE is live much better than on cd :)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

how good is the black album?
another opinion:

there are 3 songs i really like: enter sandman, nothing else matters and the unforgiven. the others are boring and slow but the solos are still acceptable.

[Photophobic]

very good in my opinion, hetfield's singing got a lot better in this album it's more of a hard rock album than metal or thrash but it's still good

i think the best songs in that are

enter sandman
my friend of misery
holier than thou
wherever i may roam

Yesturday I heard some of the Black Album at a friends house(I was already familiar with a few of the songs, (sandman, whereever I may roam, NEM, unforgiven) and it occured to me that I really needed to get it. Onething though, I thought the chorus of my friend of misery sounded particulaly weak.

Now I'm torn between getting Black Album or Ride the Lightning first.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

get ride the lightning

[Photophobic]

I thought you might say that :p

[SlaveToTheGrind]

:lol: you can also get among the living. that's a great album, too

[Photophobic]

Who's that by? :confused:
(My knowledge of thrash is limited to say the least)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

anthrax

[Photophobic]

Ah ok I was thinking Slayer but yeah ok. I want to get albums by both those bands. After I have Maiden and Metallica. And maybe some Motorhead, GN'R, Hendrix....

[clown_phobia]

so many good albums to get... ;)

[Photophobic]

It would appear I'll be collecting albums for the rest of my life....:(



:D

[SlaveToTheGrind]

don't worry. me too :D

[clown_phobia]

sow what album is the best for a first album?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

metallica albums or generel?

[clown_phobia]

metallica albums

[SlaveToTheGrind]

a thrash album, maybe kill em all or and master of puppets

[clown_phobia]

ok thanks

[Burdcheese]

how good is the black album?

Not great (controversial I know) - I think its their worst album after St. Anger. It's neither great thrash like RTL,MOP or AJFA, nor great rock like the Loads.

It's a bit mediocre really.

Still a Metallica album though, so it's still got its merits...

[Burdcheese]

Now I'm torn between getting Black Album or Ride the Lightning first.

Definately Ride The Lighting or Master Of Puppets. AJFA is technically my favourite, but I recently started noticing just how bad the production is... get it third.

[Maheswaranus]

Creeping death is cool, One is prolly the best though, that was tight. Even black album stuff that I didnt like all that much souded a lot better live like wherever i may roam.

I have the Salival CD, wich is pretty good. But I have never really seen Tool play. Isn't there a Tool DVD on the way?`Well anyway, what makes Tool's live show better than Metallica's? I think Metallica is one of the best bands when it comes to interacting with the crowd, and making them part of the song.

[Squirrel]

On the Metallivault i need a CD key from the St. Anger CD - where is the key ?!

[ToolOwnz]

There is a DVD supposedly coming out in month MAYBE, they havent set concrete dates although my brother is in Tool Army so he gets good intel.
If u have kazaa you can find some good (and bad) Tool vids.

I cant tell you exactly how I think Tool is a better live show. It has more to do with the songs being played. Both bands perform great, unlike A LOT of bands out there, Metallica and Tool (and a few others ) can actually add to the songs personality and sometimes hearing them live gives you a new perspective on the songs. But for me when the lights go down and the Tool show begins with that synth drone, it becomes other worldly, and almost spiritual, and while Metallica performs with excellence, with tool the show becomes more personal and on a different level than metallica. Tool doesnt play off the audience as much as metallica does, and this does bother people who like to be entertained by the artist interaction. Not that tool doesn't, its just a different interaction than metallica. But since I am a bigger fan of Tool than metallica at this point, My bias leans toward Tool. But Both bands perform well, and sound great.

Id like to hope metallica finds a new approach to their next record. Id like to hear some prog metal again...'

edit: btw thanks for the kind words guys, im pretty proud of that song, its probably our best recording to date. :thumb:

re edit: reccomendations for first metallica album

New to metal: Black Album

Not new to heav music: Master, Justice, lightning, Garage Days, Kill em all.
Justice does have pretty bad production, the only reason I said master first. I say Master and Justice are tied imo for the best overall metallica preformace, only tied becuase of the bad recording of justice. lets start a petition demanding metallica remix Justice so we can hear Jasons bass finally.

[gernm17]

hate to disagree i think it's one of their best albums, imo better than rtl and kea but not better than mop or ajfa

the black album has some very good lyrics, and VERY good singing by james hetifled probably his best in his whole career, the guitars became more simple than other albums before but metallica gained in singing, that's why it became more appelaing to other people who arent metal heads
:wave: :wave: , not that i'm not one, i'm glad that they made the black album cos it showed me that metallica wasnt just another thrash band, it showed me that they could go beyond that and do whatever they want as musicians, and create a beautiful song like nothing else matters, who the **** doesnt love that song, and most of the songs in that album are pretty good imo

[Burdcheese]

On the Metallivault i need a CD key from the St. Anger CD - where is the key ?!

Same here - My St.Anger CD doesn't have one.... (and yes it is legal)

[Photophobic]

...and create a beautiful song like nothing else matters, who the **** doesnt love that song, and most of the songs in that album are pretty good imo

One has just as much emotion and beauty, if not more than NEM

[DisposableHeroes]

i prefer fade to black to most slow-ish metallica songs

[Squirrel]

Yeah , i think Fade to Black is their best *ballad* by far.

This CD key think is pissing me off, theres some col stuff in the 'vault but i can nay get to it. Grrr :evil:

[DisposableHeroes]

i'm gonna try and get a bootleg of when they play download, but on the download website it wont let me in despite the fact i give them correct log-in details. Bastards

[dougefresh]

My band is playing FtB for the talent show :)

[jimmymcmahon2001]

all of them :thumb: i coudnt name a favorite man, but im digging triad as of late.

uh, lets hear your masterpiece doodooflinger. unless you have music that is better than metallica you shouldnt be making rulings on whether a band that has sold millions and millions of records and pleased millions of fans with live shows should be able to make music. tard. So please post your music I want to hear your ingenious riffage.

:rolleyes: So now you need to have the same quality music as the music you are judging? :rolleyes:

So what, he doesnt like Metallica, he doesnt have to be as good as them not to like them, or to judge them.. The way he stated it wasnt exactly exuding intelligence, but I still stand by my statement.

[ToolOwnz]

no. He posted..
or maybe it's cuz Metallica sucks *** and shouldn't be aloud to make music except for Kirk Hammet everyone else in that band is a gay waste of semen.

If he is the Decider of Who Should Be Allowed To Write And PLay Music, then **** straight he better pwn metallica.

[MINI_jimi]

METTALLICA ROCKS I LOVE EM I WENT TO THE CONCERT ON MAY 9TH it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumb:

[MINI_jimi]

My band is playing FtB for the talent show :)






dude that song is cool but kinda easy but who cares lol :lol:

[Kirk-hammet]

i think Fade to Black is kind of hard, but then again im not the best at guitar. My band may play one in the fall at our schools talent show we were gonna play the one thats going on now but we didnt have enough time to get our **** together. Im in the middle of learning the last solo at themoment. its the only part i dont have down, but can someone show me the tab for the part right after the chorus plays for the last time. i can play what it says on this one tab but its kind of confusing what goes where, so if ya can replie to this and giveme a site or just put it in here. thanks. Fade to Black and One are thier best songs i have to say. but call of the ktulu and Orion, both instrumentals are awesome to, but not alot of people tend to say anything about them.

[ghettoeddo]

both ktulu and orion are awesome. there. someone has said something abt them. personally, i favor ktulu idk why.

[Kirk-hammet]

yeah so do I the solo is like over 2 minutes long, and its just alltgether a better song, but Orion kicks *** to.

[ToolOwnz]

both ktulu and orion are awesome. there. someone has said something abt them. personally, i favor ktulu idk why.

My favorite Metallica songs have always been the instrumentals. I wish they made more.

[Dooflungerfletchface]

they probably should so James hetfield will shut up he is annoying

[I love You]

To live is to die is my favorite metallica instumental. I love it

[musha]

Metallica rocks! But I don't really see A LOT of Metallica threads.
Metally suck ballz. theyre a piece of **** hard core gothic s*** music. The only fruits that like that fa**et A** band are those gothic people dressed in black with dark eyeshadowing and theyre ripped up pants with the chains hanging from their pants and wearing freaking fifteen pound ugly black ripped up boots with writing on them, and dont take showers for s***. Thats the true metallica fan. F******************** those B******* get that straight losers, i bet ur room is painted black with a built in dungeon and knives 4 u to cut urself with. u embarrass the human race. i spit on u and metallica.

All i have to say is that that guy is retarted for calling Metallica Goth music but i do have to agree that most of Metallica's song are pretty flamin'

dont talk. dont even speak. Metallica is your father. how dare you show disrespect.

[Ghost of Cliff]

any bassists here? if so, is there anyone who can tell me what bass cliffy is playing on the inside of the ride the lighting cd case? in the booklet i mean.

[Burdcheese]

I'll say it yet again; this thread is for people who like Metallica. If you don't stay well clear - or you won't last very long

[stewart]

i love Battery and Dyers Eve.Frantic is pretty cool aswell

[LordDargon]

Musha is a wigger, thinking metallica fans are goths. HE is the true bane of the human race.

You come to me, me and about 5 guys I know who all hate wiggers will fu.cking kill you.

EDIT: Wait, I'm not done yet.

You know absoluetly nothing of any lifestyle other than the pathetic, wannabe-gangsta lifestyle you've chosen in your demented little head. You're too much scum for me or anyone I know to even think about beating. So here's the plan. Why don't you just take your wigger as.s down to a REAL gangsta area, and we'll see how long you last, you fu.cking pile of dog vomit.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Metallica Sucks My Left

[Kickflip_Burrito]

If Rob were to quit or something happened that stopped him from being a musician, do you reckon Jason Newsted would ever return or do you think Metallica would get a new bassist altogether?
