[DisposableHeroes]

yes!


no.. :upset:

[Kreator]

i have....

...but it was a cd not a wallet..

[DisposableHeroes]

i'm getting money this week, so i wont have to attempt to steal a CD

[Kreator]

i didn't want to steel the cd. i just found it in my bag when i went ouf of the shop i was. :confused:

[DisposableHeroes]

thats what they all say ;)

was it a good CD?

[Squirrel]

N*SYNC; only the best for Kreator :)

[Kreator]

yeah very good. it was the new dew-scented cd

[DisposableHeroes]

shall i buy some Kreator or Megadeth? I'm on a budget of £20 here

[Kreator]

get extreme aggression :)

[DisposableHeroes]

i think i'll save up more before i buy anything

[Noxioustheband]

the and justice for all... and black albums are the best :thumb:

[Kreator]

no.

[Kingofdudes]

im loving Rust in Peace, so there is an idea :thumb:

[guitarfrog]

OK, first of all I don't really like Metallica, from what I've heard, but the other day I heard Nothing Else Matters again, and I realised that I actually really liked that song. Basically, are there any other songs they've done that are like that (ballads I guess), and if so, can you recommend me some good ones?

-fade to black
-sanitarium
-one

-orion(its not a ballad but its a very good instrumental)

[Noxioustheband]

i recon st.anger was a big slap in the face for them and they will return to the real metallica the metallica the produced songs like fade to black, master of puppets, and enter sand man.

[Kill_The_Fallen]

fight fire with fire and the four horsemen, what else...no leaf clover to live is to die, and most of kill em all, good solos too hard to learn but good.

Fight Fire With Fire
Battery
Trapped Under Ice

Dyer's Eve

[MothEatenDeerHead213]

Battery is not really a ballad. Master of Puppets has kind of a balladee part to it.

[Bulldogabel]

the and justice for all... and black albums are the best :thumb:
"And Justice for All" is a great album, but I thought that the Black album was going to be more thrashy, then what it was.

But still its a great album.

[mr snrub]

...and justice for all, is my favourite.

[Bulldogabel]

^Who dosen't like And Justice for All!?

Everyone likes it.

[mr snrub]

Yeah, well you do get some anti-Metallica people, who have no taste in music.

[Po0sH]

^Who dosen't like And Justice for All!?

Everyone likes it.

And justice for All RoX0rz my BoX0rz!! :thumb:

[Bulldogabel]

Yeah, well you do get some anti-Metallica people, who have no taste in music.

yeah, those are the kind of people who want to be different all of the time. Some people think it is almost a fashion to like them, nowadays. You got 15yr. old girls with $350 manicures with a Metallica shirt on, saying that they kick a.ss, when they no nothing at all about them or there music. They are the ones "killing" METALLICA, they are the ones making us look likes dic.ks who will listen to anything that has a beat, then saying that it is cool.(i'm going to sound like a GOTH right now) **** all of those conformist!

[Bulldogabel]

*smacks goth* :smash:

but on topic, i need some money so I can check out more of AJFA

[burtonbassist_101]

i bet, no, i KNOW that people were excited when kill 'em all first came out. one of many things that made this ablum unique was that there were no later characteristic soft songs on kill 'em all, just 100% rocking out. so what im wondering (since i wasnt alive to see it) is what people were thinking when they heard the soft, melodic intro to "fight fire with fire". anybody who was alive back then feel free to answer.

[MothEatenDeerHead213]

My favorite is Kill Em All, or Master Of Puppets.

Kill Em All: Metallicas first album. Dave Mustaine was on it. In MY opinion one of the best metal guitar players ever. With songs like "Seek & Destroy", "(Anesthiesa)-Pulling Teeth" & "The Four Hoursemen", you cant go wrong. Also great solos in every song on the album.

Master Of Puppets: Probably the album that changed most peoples lives including mine. This is Cliff Burtons last album. The song "Orion" completely blows me away. One of the best instrumentals ive heard in my life. Heavy riffs, pounding bass line, great transitions & to top it all off a bass solo! One of my favorite songs "Battery" is also on this album.

I know i didnt need to do that im just bored :thumb:

aright im a young kid but ill answer you any way. Metal back then had ballads usually ie; Poison, Cinderella (whom both i hate). So it didnt really seem new to me when i heard it. I was just like alright what ever, it sounds cool any way. But yeah the song is great all & all

You know what I meant when I said conformist. I wasn't trying to get all into the word.

it is true what you are saying, but then it isn't. Being non-conformist means you don't like to follow what other people do or say. But some people aren't trying to be... aw fuc.k it.

No Mustaine wasn't on it, why are so many people saying this? He was kicked out before the album was recorded and they got Hammett in to play on it. Altho most of the solos were written by Mustaine I believe.

[Bulldogabel]

:lol: :lol: I know i was just being a jackass

It's fun being a jackas.s from time to time. :lol:

So METALLICA dosen't let any of the music sites download there music anymore, for free? Or are there some still? I know that napster is out of the question :LoL:!

Did anyone watch the South Park episode where Kyle, Stan, and Kenny downloaded all of those songs off the net for free? I know that's not what the whole episode was about but it was funny as shi.t!

[Kingofdudes]

I dont think Metallica lets anyone download their music, even if they pay for it. I use Rhapsody(A downloading program that I pay to use) and it doesnt have Metallica on it.

[TallicaChic]

you can download songs from their site. Metclub I think it is...type in the cd key code from a St. Anger cd and you're in..free music.

[Kingofdudes]

[TallicaChic]

ah...that sucks...

[Big-Bird]

any song?!

[TallicaChic]

well i don't think so..just whatever they have available on there...they are always puttin up new music though for it. I think it's all live.

Hang on, I've got St. Anger, where do I find the code or is it on the disc itself?

[Armor O'Malley]

Trapped Under Ice

It's so awesome to play and sing to! :cool:

[killswitchlog]

i think one thing that makes metallica stand out is james' voice. it is as if his voice hits all 3 notes of the current powerchord in one. it is like his voice is one big chord. i've never heard anything like it before or since. another thing about metallica is kirk's solos. his solos imo are so unique that if he was to die tomorrow, you would never have the possibility of hearing that solo PERFECT except on a recording. you might hear a mediocre rendition of that solo, but creeping death, blackened, master of puppets, that stuff is hard to imitate, even if you're zakk wylde or someone. hammett's style is so unique, it can't be imitated imo. it can be, but you'd know if it was an imitation or the real thing.

[cliffburtonrules]

What is your fav. Metallica song?

Mine is Creeping Death!!
mine would be MoP but..... (big but) as a bass player my favorite song to play on a bass would be for whom the bell tolls.... that intro is so melodic and like hypnotizing almost. it rocks!!!!

[Bulldogabel]

well yeah as long as they control it I guess. My brother lost the cd key code for the vault thing, so yeah :(
I kind of had the same prob. except that I had the code and, every time that I typed it in, it would say that it was the wrong password. I think they screwed me. Which is cool because, I just got screwed by METALLICA. :lol: :wave:

[Squirrel]

Bumpity.

[theblindman2]

yeah, i had to steal my brothers code before he realized it did something

[curt1000]

ye unforgiven 2 is class, im a big fan of noyhing else matters though and seek and destroy

[Zmev]

Anyone like the Kill/Ride Medly?

[PoWeRsLaVe667]

Great Songs by Metallica

Seek and Destroy
No Remorse
Ride the Lightning
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Master of Puppets
Battery
Sanitarium
and Justice for all...
One
To live is to Die
Enter Sandman
Sad but True.

Also i'd like to say after the black album, things for metallica went down hill from there. i do not like anything from load, reload, Sm, St. Anger. Metallica's gotta do some wicked ballads. Metallica can't be trying to get new fans, they need to impressive thier previous fans because Metallica has one of the biggest army of fan that would do anything for them and doing this St. Anger is a joke, i wanna see more fade to blacks and and justice for alls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SAY GOOD DAY

[Armor O'Malley]

Anyone like the Kill/Ride Medly?

Yes. :)

[Zmev]

Yes.

How many of them do you have or have heard?

/has 3 versions

[Armor O'Malley]

Only version I've heard is the one off Cunning Stunts, the only other version I know of is the one that has Phantom Lord in there somewhere.

[The Bell Tolls]

I'd give my virginity to a 350lb. over wieght confused trucker, to see them live.
:;):
yup, me too, they ARE that great.

Yeah its on the Memory remains single and livemetallica.com aswell

[Zmev]

If the lyrics on that were meaningful at all i didnt get it

[Squirrel]

I like the Unnamed Feeling; good lyrics, the way James sings them is astonishing.

[Zmev]

They just seem so odd and out of nowhere

[Zmev]

THE UNNAMED FEELING
Been here before

Been here before couldn't say I liked it
Do I start writing all this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can't you help me be uncrazy?

Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I'd turn my eyes
To look inside to see what's comin'

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I can not sleep in this down filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I can not stand it anymore

Cross my heart and hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

Get the **** out of here
I just wanna get the **** away from me
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?

I cannot sleep with a head like this
I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I wanna hate it all away


Bolded for eh

[Squirrel]

It's about fighting with people clsoe toyou and the inability to control it.

"Lose myself in a crowded room" is saying when he is around people he cant help but not be himself; "you fool .. " means he knew it was gonna happen but he doesnt do anything to help it.

The "i jsut wanna .." is crying out that he doesnt want to be like that and he wants to not be like he is.

[Till_Lindeman001]

Bolded for eh

I think the first one is probably James describing how he felt before rehab (sort of like loads of thoughts going at the same time) as like trying to talk in a crowded room (good description really) and the second is a progression of the song, it gets gradually more angry as the song progresses. BTW The Unnamed Feeling is by far the best song on St. Anger. :thumb:

[Squirrel]

I think i prefer Sweet Anger or Shoot Me Again.

[Till_Lindeman001]

I think i prefer Sweet Anger or Shoot Me Again.

They're also good songs, Sweet Amber and Shoot Me Again, as is Frantic, I just prefer The Unnamed Feeling, I suppose it's a matter of opinion really

[Zmev]

Still seem kind of odd lyrics to me commin from metallica and all but thats good reasoning

[Squirrel]

I agree; they are a bit odd taking into account the others theyve done.

But hey, thats St Anger for you.

[Zmev]

Twas different indeed...


...++

[cliffburtonrules]

but even though it wasn't up to their standards i liked that album for the most part...... like the first 4 songs were my favourite:
Frantic
St.Anger
Some Kind of Monster
and Dirty Window

[Squirrel]

I hate SKOM its SOOOO unbelievably boring.

My faves are - Frantic, St. Anger, Dirty Window, Shoot Me Again, Sweet Amber, The Unnamed Feeling.

[-=The_Dude=-]

I hate SKOM its SOOOO unbelievably boring.
its not that bad is it?

[Metal G]

hi all, i was a metallica fan before st.anger was released (as most of u r) and i have to say it completely took me by surprise, what happened to the solos, dynamic riffs and his voice CHANGED! but hey, st.anger isnt that bad. but i doubt they'll release an album better than stuff like kill 'em all. but to many of u out there you like st.anger more than the old stuff so, i guess ur in luck.

I still respect metallica, they (like nirvana) have changed music forever.
even some chavs like metallica!

Garage.inc is incredible (not original) but really kick ***! they executed songs like Sabbra Cadabra and Am i Evil? perfectly. but what i would like to know is why Jason left.

[Grammar Fuhrer]

I think he left because he felt like the rest of the guys weren't in it for the music anymore, they were just in it for the money. At least that's what I heard. He may've just gotten tired of Lars' crap. I'm not entirely sure. I'm a huge fan of Metallica and I was disappointed with St. Anger, but it's still a lot better than most of the crap people are putting out these days. Maybe the next album will be better.

[Metal G]

As to the lyrics in st.anger, well most of u realise they actually mean something, and tell you something. i think James' been quite smart there


+ its nice to see a front man with a great sense of humour

[Metal G]

^^
well theres millions of rumours bout' james so, i guess we'll only know if he tells us.

[The Bell Tolls]

That's a coincidence, I'm a 350lb trucker. :naughty:

Would i get to see metallica? :naughty:

[Squirrel]

its not that bad is it?

.. the song ..



Jason never fitted in; even in live performances he seems ignored and on hte Black album DVD no one seems to give their attention to him. I dont think they gelled too well; James says he just couldnt find a common ground with him to get to properly know him and Lars ... proabably just an arse more than usual.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Blackened is a good song, did i spell that right?

[Squirrel]

Yup, you did indeed.

[Po0sH]

Blackened is a good song, did i spell that right?

Yea, that is one of my fav songs! love it

i think its actually because Metallica didnt really treat him very well, the band themselves admit this

[Po0sH]

i think its actually because Metallica didnt really treat him very well, the band themselves admit this

They didnt treat him well and other things. It is talked about in SKOM and MTV icon. In Icon, he said he wanted to take a year off to work on his Echobrain project, but Metallica said no. And he told himself, he needed to stand up for his morals, so he left.

[Paranoidd]

I guess maybe because he just played bass, as opposed to being vocal about issue (ie napster) or becoming an alcoholic...he didn't have the big personality that the rest of them do.

Thats what sucked, he was a great live performer too, what with all the solo parts and the singing whiplash.

He was cool too

[NoLeafClover54]

I agree, he was very cool. I love his back up voices on the songs on S&M, listen the the Outlaw Torn refrain if u have the cd its so cool

BTW i heard that after their madly in agner tour their going back in the studio to make a new album coming out june 2005 has anyone else heard that

duh dude, its all over this thread

st anger is totally different than classic metallica i think everyone can agree but SO WHAT is an awsome song

[DisposableHeroes]

it would be interesting to see how Metallica would've been hadnt he died

[Po0sH]

it would be interesting to see how Metallica would've been hadnt he died

Well i know this, James said so himself that if Cliff were still alive, then the Loads (Load and ReLoad) would have bee released a lot sooner. Everyone else in the band was listening to metal and punk, while cliff listened to slower stuff like REM and so forth. And cliff obviously had a huge influence on the band. So maybe, we wouldnt have AFJA and Black Album, and maybe metallica wouldnt be as popular as they are. Ya never know.

[DisposableHeroes]

hell, he may even have died anyway of cancer from his smoking. Or had a bad acid trip and gone nuts

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

you know, i realise why cliff is so high up there in the ranks as a bassist: he was fast and really good at writing music. pulling teeth really wasnt,IMO, his best. his best, to me, is his solo in the metallica vault thing.

[Triangle]

I cant get into that Metallica vault thing... darn St.Anger cd in Europe not being shipped with a serial number...

[YellowShirt]

METAL SUCKS ALONG WITH METALLICA i want to kill every member of metallica but i cant cus they aren't even a real band they just replace there members with others.... real bands have one lineup and when that lineup ends ITS OVER BITCH

[jackz53]

i have a question regarding the new metallica, and dont get mad if its already been answered, but im not gonna read all 276 pages. also, this isnt to make fun of metallica or anything, i am a big fan myself. my question is:

why did metallica stop doing guitar solos and why does lars's snare drum sound so bad?

any answers would be appreciated, again this is an honest question, no harm meant

[jackz53]

METAL SUCKS ALONG WITH METALLICA i want to kill every member of metallica but i cant cus they aren't even a real band they just replace there members with others.... real bands have one lineup and when that lineup ends ITS OVER BITCH


you're an idiot, you probably think 'simple plan' and 'yellowcard' is real music...and why would you make fun of metallica in an official thread, where you'll get made fun of

METAL SUCKS ALONG WITH METALLICA i want to kill every member of metallica but i cant cus they aren't even a real band they just replace there members with others.... real bands have one lineup and when that lineup ends ITS OVER BITCH
idiot... :lol:

[iwant_taquitos]

i have a question regarding the new metallica, and dont get mad if its already been answered, but im not gonna read all 276 pages. also, this isnt to make fun of metallica or anything, i am a big fan myself. my question is:

why did metallica stop doing guitar solos and why does lars's snare drum sound so bad?

any answers would be appreciated, again this is an honest question, no harm meant


my only guess is that since hetfield got out of rehab, some of the material he and/or the rest of metallica have written was based on what James was going through before or during his time in rehab. and i think that would be hard to put a solo to... and the drums are probably just something lars thought went good with the song, but im probably wrong since im clueless when it comes to drums. well, this is just a thought.

when cliff burton died, metallica had to change their lineup. not becuae they suck, but becuase they lost their bassist (which wasnt their fault) so they needed a new bassist. so you are saying they shouldve just given up and quit after it just because their bassist was gone? if they quit, they would be a buch of pathetic loonies, who cant do anyhting about whatever happens. but no, they were strong, and continued being a band, despite the tragedy that happened. they hired a new bassist, and made great albums like AJFA and TBA. giving up just because your lineup changes is pathetic. you have to be strong no matter wht happens. and quit posting such bull****. :angry:

RIP cliff burton

So I saw Some Kind of Monster today. It was a good film that tells how most of st anger was made. It really explained why some songs were made lyrically (sweet amber for national radios that hassled them, some kind of monster for them lyrically making a frankenstein out of all the diff parts he mentions durring it, all within my hands for jasons departing of the band/james's way fo showing affection by not letting them leave). They had things about why there were no solos and i guess when the band was at that emotional state where they need like 2 therapists regularly i guess chemistry can be hard to come by. Overall good movie 8/10

I belive that it was because they wrote the songs in a different way, i watched a documentary about st. anger and metallica (on all the other albums) had wrote thier songs in thier own time and brought them in for the rest of the band to perfect it. but for st. anger bob rock (the producer) just gave them some paper and told them to write, it was all forced out of them, everyone knows that thats not a way to write good music.

Because Kirk "doesn't need to prove anything" (whatever that means.)

And Lars is a disgustingly bad drummer, who chose a bad snare, is all.

[metallicambria]

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:)


seek and destroy
four horsemen
hit the lights
metal militia
jump in the fire
and justice
blackened
until it sleeps
feul
i dissappear
outlaw torn
some kind of monster...kind of has a groovy feel to it

lars is a great drummer...when they were recording kill em all ...he couldnt keep time for ****...but in the 80's he worked at it alot and got better...but i admit...he's jus a 5'2 retard born in denmark...i think wat happened was that he saw james and kirk and bob rock detuning like...down to c and was like " a duhhh....uhh...let me give that a try guys....and then he jus wacked his snare with a drum key like a baby bangin on the ground with a spoon and was like yeah...pretty cool there dudes" :lol:

[Against Miik!]

Lars was never a spectacular drummer. Anybody who loves Metallica is a bit biased, but if you really listen, there isn't anything special there. He just keeps time.

Metallica fanboys need to learn that they are not the most talented band ever.

[Blodstrupmose]

Lars was experimenting on St. Anger! Thats why they sound funny! He wanted a slightly bit more hollow sound! Anyway: Just because you are from Denmark you can actually be a good musician!

My friend of misery is a quite nice song as well as master of puppets!

hey you're offending me now :p I'm RHCP and Metallica fan! why do you hate 'em? :thumb:

[Paranoidd]

It's not all RHCP or Metallica fans, just ignorant ones.

I just hate when RHCP fans start saying

"Chad Smith is the best drummer!"
"Flea is the best bass player!"
"John is the best guitarist"

ETC

Just like I hate when Metallica fans try to defend Lars' incessantly horrible drumming, or Kirk's uncreative solos.

Just because they are a famous band or your favorite band, doesn't make the musicians "the best."

Thats all :D

[Blodstrupmose]

Naah of course not the best but I think that Flea is a quite nice bass player and I think that Lars is a good drummer as well!

[Paranoidd]

Flea is a fine bass player...but Lars...?

Lars can barely keep time, let alone come up with good fills.

[Blodstrupmose]

Yeah but in the same time: Metallica music is not made for the big drumfills! I think he does his job quite well!

Metallica plays metal...

quoted to piss people off

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I don't understand why people slate Lars off so much. He's a lot better than a lot of drummers. Look at any famous band (e.g. The Strokes, The Darkness, The Offspring, etc) and Lars is much better than their drummers. I'm not saying he is the best in the world because there are drummers better than Ulrich but he does not suck.

[Paranoidd]

Comparing shyt to shyt just takes you around in circles.

Sure he's better than the guy from the strokes...he uses a freaking 5 piece kit.

You are comparing Metallica to poppy bands. Would you compare the guitar player from the strokes to hetfield? Hell no. Compare Lars to a METAL drummer.

Almost every metal drummer > Lars

But I can't say that because:

"metallica is the best band in the world"
"can you play better than lars?"
"metallica is responsible for metal"
"lars is teh best!!!!"

Or the various other uneducated rebuttals that the 15 year old fanboys supply.

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

i completely agree with you. there's jon bonham, neil peart... im just naming off the top of my head. there are definitely tons, though.

[metalhead72]

plus lars is fu*king dipsh!t

[KiLlErC]

hmm LArs rocks... his sound makes the band--- I think his drumming off mop, and ajfa still rapes alot of metal drummers who just overly use double bass just to sound "cool". metallica rocks' I have all the cds. im a fan- if you dont like it' tough titty.

[NoLeafClover54]

if metallica were a body, lars would be the asshole. besides that, their music as a whole is very good. and i dont let one mid talented musician change that

[Zmev]

Hes not the best ever but hes at least good

That's because he can't hit the double bass fast. You've heard about how they double tracked Dyers Eve, right? Double bass is not about being cool, its about sonic potential. Metallica could use some double bass, it would probably make their recent music sound non-shytty.

Look I'm not trying to be a prick, but I call em as I see em. I don't see how people can rave about Lars when he does absolutely nothing special. The only reason he gets credit is because he is in Metallica. If he was in another band, nobody would give a rats arse about him.

Not to mention that god awful snare. *shudder*

[jaymz_is_god]

Lars is the least talented at what he does in Metallica...if that makes sense. I heard Enter Sandman at Download with Joey from Slipknot on drums, and it just made the song sound so much better.

[Ghost_Of_Saul]

In new bands its rare that you can find a metallica worthy guitar solo.
And i dont like it wen ppl dont give them a chance, eg; listen to one of their not so good songs like "i dissapear" and think all of their songs are the same.

[alcoholocaust]

its not that hard though,







i ment the song lol

[guitarfrog]

its not better in my opinion...but its jsut a bit different so it seems kinda cool

[Five Magics]

Lars is a decent drummer. Metallica is not Metallica without Lars, and surely they would sound different without him. I think though people have to realize that he is not the best, nor even close to that. But he is partly responsible for argubly the most successful metal band ever, he had to have done something right. so please if you wanna flame him, flame him because he is an asshole.

[NoLeafClover54]

^^^^^true
the thing is without lars, we wouldnt have such good lyrics. Mostly because he and James write almost all of the songs. He does have talent, i wont deny that, but i just dont like a lot of the things he does.

oh and The Bell Tolls i didnt know people have been saying that line for years, and im sorry if i offended you in anyway

haha yeah i agree on that...
Metallica isnt the best...but ONE of the best in Heavy Metal.
they are actually the 1st band...which inspires me in metal
lars as well, inspires me...everything from metallica inspires me...
without lars, theres no good lyrics & no good drum combination.
he's not the best...but ONE of the best. he didnt get best metal drummer of the year for nothing.
try replacing Lars with somebody else...i dont think metallica will be metallica anymore.

everyone has the right to voice out their comments...
but i just dont like it when anyone disses Lars...
im not trying to offend anyone here...just my 2 cents :thumb:

[Chu]

Metallica.. What about if Dave Mustaine returned to Metallica, so they could end their careers on a high note? :P
There were no solos in St. Anger, suggesting maybe arthritis has finally got the better of Kirk (Nevermind, I wasn't serious...) it would just be interesting, to me, if Metallica got back Mustaine.

Being a fan of both bands...

Why does that make him decent ? he could have been nominated or chosen by a bunch of tards for all you know.

Why do you all bash Lars,it jason Newstead thats **** i m glad he quit
wors5t bass player ever

Does anyone know of a good site where I can get a live recording of Creeping Death at Woodstock 99? I've looked at a few sites and they won't work when I tried to download. The site mentioned by hilfenburger didn't have it (top of the page). I would seriously appreciate your help if anyone can. :)

WTF?

Are you lazy or blind?

Try a search of "lars" and "sucks" and you'll find plenty of intelligent arguments.

[\m/Pete\m/]

No they arent intelligent in the least...Most of the arguments ARE about his drumming or always end up about his drumming on St. Anger. Ever listened to Blackened, the drumming on that is awesome. Im not saying that Lars is the best out there, but he certainly doesnt suck. He may be a little bit of an asshole as a person but as a drummer he is good.

[chuckles the silly piggy]

also how the **** do i change my avatar[/QUOTE]




go to user cp and click edit avatar

[Paranoidd]

I don't give a shyt how he is as a person...that has absolutely no bearing on his music whatsoever, and people who use that are morons.

"I hate Axl Rose because hes a dick"
"Phil Anselmo can't sing b/c he's an asshole"
"Lars is a jerk in real life"

Who cares...I don't know them, I don't care how they are. It's all about the music. And, frankly, Lars is an entirely overrated drummer, lucky enough to start a band which became incredibly famous. Any other drummer could have filled his spot. Nothing special.

[\m/Pete\m/]

^^ i know i saw it...thx though

[\m/Pete\m/]

I never said that his personality affects the way he drums...i agree with what you said about people who say something like that. It was only used as a contrast not a basis for a statement. You are still dancing around the question and havent given an answer. You just said he's "nothing special" and infamous "overrated". And the sentence about how anyone else can fill his shoes can be said about almost ANY band.

[chuckles the silly piggy]

Ya newsted filled Cliffs shoes and Rob filled his shoes.no one is expendable

this is my first post on this forum actually myfirst music-furom post well might aswell get to the point : I´am working on some Metallica songs currently Fade to Black and I would like to know how the secon solo starting at 2:33 ending 2:50 and yes i have looked throught all tabs.
I´ve mastered the first and like this one too and there is no uber fast part I consider those inposible at this point.

Thanks in advance

PS. St:anger suck I mean no solos what were they thinking.
Kirk is my favorite member.

[guitarfrog]

go download the power tab program

[cliffburtonrules]

i think alot of people think lars sux cuz he has no technique at all....... however he is the best drummer iv'e heard in metal....... he might not have traditional technique but he's good in the "hit every drum u can and make it sound good" style

[cliffburtonrules]

That's because he can't hit the double bass fast. You've heard about how they double tracked Dyers Eve, right? Double bass is not about being cool, its about sonic potential. Metallica could use some double bass, it would probably make their recent music sound non-shytty.

whaqt do u mean he can't hit the double bass? have u heard One?!?!? and i admit that was a horrible snare choice but that was for only 1 album.

[Kingofdudes]

whaqt do u mean he can't hit the double bass? have u heard One?!?!? and i admit that was a horrible snare choice but that was for only 1 album.

Doesnt change the fact that he couldnt do it properly for dyers eve.

well i hopefully speak for everyone when i say i hope there next album will go back to the sound they had in the 80's

[cliffburtonrules]

maybe Trujillo will give their new album a different sound. i doubt it will sound like the old stuff, but hopefully it will sound different than st. anger.

have you heard some of his drums solos? not the one that is floating around kazaa but the live tracks you can download off of their site. pretty sweet

[RiceMonster]

maybe Trujillo will give their new album a different sound. i doubt it will sound like the old stuff, but hopefully it will sound different than st. anger.

Hope Fully, I think they should let him coe-write a few songs on the next album, he's an excellent bass player.

[Five Magics]

maybe Trujillo will give their new album a different sound.

that wont happen, because Metallica dont give a **** who there bass player is. No matter if they had the best bassist ever, it would make no difference at all. Metallica was never about bass guitar playing. Not even during the Cliff days. Metallica is James and Lars, that's it. They call the shots. For example Hammett is a very good guitar player, now tell me, what kind of creative control did he have on St.Anger?, did anyone hear a solo? That's because James and Lars decided to go into a different deriction with the band on the album. Not only that, but if James and Lars told Hammett to write solos for the album, dont you think he would have done it?

I think i remember Kirk saying in an interview that he wrote some solos, but the "band" decided they wouldnt fit. Kirk is a tool.

[\m/Pete\m/]

no he tried a few solos, but they didnt fit with the songs...thats what i read

[jpj]

in the video for one was the footage of the guy in the hospital bed taken from a movie or did they film just for that video

[Five Magics]

no he tried a few solos, but they didnt fit with the songs...thats what i read

those songs on St.Anger are screaming for solos

[NoLeafClover54]

well from what ive read and heard there a little solo on The Unnamed Feeling

[EternalPain]

The One video was taken from an older movie called Johnny Got His Gun...I think it was like a um....1986 movie...around there

[EternalPain]

I wasnt here at the begging lol but well as you guys were talking about how the Black Album was so awesome and unexpected...well that is also when Bob Rock came into the picture so maybe hes the one that got them to that point for the Black Album?

[Five Magics]

bring back Fleming Rasmussen, **** Bob Crock

[GorbAcheV]

Yes Fleming should come back, unless he's dead. But regardless no more Bob Rock.

[-=The_Dude=-]

those songs on St.Anger are screaming for solos
i bet St Anger would be up to 50% better if the songs had solos

[Paranoidd]

ya that's true but i'm just saying that cuz he didnt do it right on dyers eve doesnt mean he cant do it at all

Fine then, he can do it, but at limited speed and syncopation. Happy now?

[NoLeafClover54]

^^^^ true

[Paranoidd]

The One video was taken from an older movie called Johnny Got His Gun...I think it was like a um....1986 movie...around there

Hmmmm I think it's a bit older then that. It's in black and white.

Unless its one of those modern movies that purposely does black and white.

[\m/Pete\m/]

I forgot to mention this, but when i saw Metallica Kirk did a lil solo when they played frantic...it was pretty sweet

[AMAC]

I'm seeing Metallica on October 24th

:cool:

i bet St Anger would be up to 50% better if the songs had solos
and no tin pan drums either

[clown_phobia]

So it is true that St. Anger has no solos...! What have metallica done?!?

[DisposableHeroes]

i'm pretty sure for the sake of their own safety they'll include solos on the next album

[The Bell Tolls]

Former BROKEN HOPE and current LUPARA guitarist Jeremy Wagner sent us the following report from yesterday's Ozzfest stop in Tinley Park, IL:

"I went to the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, IL yesterday and thought you might be interested to know that Kirk Hammett was in attendance. I heard he had shown up (METALLICA are doing two sold-out shows in Chicago on Aug. 27 and Aug. 28). So I went back and found him in a VIP booth overlooking stage — left of the mainstage. He was hanging with a mutual friend of mine so I made some small talk with him.

"Kirk was totally pumped to see DIMMU BORGIR, but was kind of pissed because the sound from inside the VIP booth over the side of the stage sucked, and all we could hear were keyboards. When DIMMU exited the stage, singer Shagrath walked beneath the VIP booth, and Kirk commented, 'This guy means business… I mean, look at that ****ing cross [on the singer's chest]!'

"After DIMMU, Kirk decided the sound sucked up in the VIP booth and wanted to get closer to the action, so we all went down to stand on stage left next to Kerry King's rig to watch SLAYER. Kirk commented that he had not seen a full SLAYER show in ages and was stoked about it. During SLAYER's set, Kirk was constantly nodding his head and applauding. Robert Trujillo showed up, too, as SLAYER performed. After SLAYER, Kirk went backstage to hang and then came out to watch full sets of JUDAS PRIEST and BLACK SABBATH.

"Anyway, that's about it. Kirk was way cool and seems to be down with all things metal."

Kerry King once called Kirk Hammet the most overrated guitar in history. I'm pretty sure it was in Kerrang! magazine.

Hence a bit of Slayer/Metallica feud. I wonder if that has worn off with time.

Thats awesome....never heard anything by Dimmu though....YET!... so well...a couple weeks ago my mom drove me 2 hours to go see Some Kind Of Monster....i thought it was awesome but well Kirk was like this is BULL**** its like were following a ****ing trend because no one else is doing solos and they said something like you can try a few but he couldn't get them to fit or somethin...and that was pretty much all that was said if i remember correctly

I love how Metallica is (go with me here) a metal band and....wel not the heaviest of course....there stuff a HELL of a lot heavier...but the most sucessful...and well they have the pride to do ballety stuff such as Fade To Black, Nothing Else Matters, and Hero Of The Day and I respect them twice as much for it

I hate Ludacris....i hate all rap
