hey, does anyone know tomorrow pre-order begins on the vinyl box set of metallica? does anyone think i have a chance to get it? there are 5000 in america out of miliions and millions of fans. it is unlikely i will get it.

[Paranoidd]

A box set of Metallica albums on VINYL?

Are you on drugs?

How many Metallica fans want/care/have the money for records?

Don't worry, you'll get it. They'll probably have a surplus.

[killswitchlog]

hey does anyone know if you have to have a credit card to order off the metallica online store? i am 16, so i don't have one and i doubt my dad will put $100+ on it so i can get something irrelevant to life.

[Paranoidd]

I don't see how you could order online without it.

Maybe a money order, but I don't see how that would work for a pre-order.

Do you actually like vinyls, or are you just getting this for the sheer purpose of having them?

[killswitchlog]

because it's cool. This individually numbered, limited-edition LP box contains Metallica's first four albums -- Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, and ...And Justice For All -- as well as the out-of-print Garage Days Revisited EP and the previously import-only Creeping Death picture disc.

the first 4 albums sell alone for $60 in the stores, after tax, more than $65, this is a great buy, only 5000 for america are made. i could easily turn around and put this on ebay, make a profit real quick. i also find vinyls attractive. not like i want to hump it. it just reminds me of the olden days that i never experienced. seperate pieces of memorabilia sell more than a hundred dollars. i conclude this is a great investment.

[Better Than You]

Okay, I don't know if this has been done before, but I would like to know what everyone thought was "Metallica's Song". Just one song that you think represents their musical talent, and lyrics and everything in between. I personally think that their song is For Whom the Bell Tolls when they did it on S&M. BEcause I have the dvd and when you watch it, that seems to be the song where everything just flows perfectly.

Probably Fade to Black

IMO its probably either to live is to die or call of ktulu. Both these songs show how well metallica can fuse together and produce quality songs which still have emotion despite a lack of lyrics. Although the lyrics in to live is to die fit perfectly with the song. Cliff RIP. In terms of lyrical ability, any songs from RTL,MOP Or AJFA all deal with relatively weighty topics (suicide, war etc)

[Chu]

A song like Fade To Black or Sanitarium for lyrical and musical content, Just the way they can change the whole mood of the song, while keeping the lyrics perfect to it and most of all meaningfull.
(I don't count One in this though, purely because it's an obvious rip at the fame Fade To Black brought them).

As far as technical side of things go, well what more could you say, Metallica hasn't really gained any new skills over the years.
They just kinda wrote the same style music (Hell even Kirk explored more on the earlier albums with his solos, on Load and ReLoad his solos had became almost too predictable and similar to the solo he had played on the previous song), nothing new, and when there was, well it wasn't great - With a few, and I mean a few exceptions.

So in conclusion, something from Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, or ...And Justice For All (Which, weirdly enough, they did try a new style of music with, wonder why they didn't keep it heavy and fast...) - Personally I believe one of their instrumentals is their best music to date. I love the Call of The Ktulu, and To Live is To Die holds a special place on my stereo's playlist, but their greatest achievement, in my opinion, was Orion.
I too, just as Cliff Burton received, wish for that song to be played at my funeral.

that'd be a pretty interesting thread by itself. let's see, "metallica's song" well i would have to say enter sandman only because it's there biggest hit. but otherwise i would have to say Fade to Black or Master of Puppets

[Joe]

guess what?! on sunday im seeing metallica for the first time live!!! im so pumped and excited! are they really as awesome live as everyone says?

^wow I was such a n00b. I think this is my 2nd metallica and now I'm in front :thumb:

[guitarfrog]

WTF you're not making any sense..
If you want to learn a Metallica song..*provided you're a noob guitarist*
Go learn some St.Anger.
It's easy and there's no solos in it to mess with your mind.
pfffffffffffffft....how can those songs teach you ANYTHING about guitar? i suggest seek&destroy, thats an easy and good one. st anger isnt even fun at all on guitar IMO.

To Live Is To Die

[canadianbassguy]

no one song to that ^^ they have stuff from the country like sound of tuesday's gone to the the hard rock/metal/thrash whatever u want to call it of seek and destroy, etc.

[clown_phobia]

I particularly like Kirk's guitar work on Ride The Lightning, does anyone agree?

Due to the recent influx of idiot threads regarding Metallica here is the OFFICIAL Metallica thread. Please post EVERYTHING Metallica related in this thread and DO NOT make any additional threads regarding Metallica.


Thankyou.

hey i was looking for some piano sheet music of some metallica songs..just started out in a new metal band as pianist so i was looking for some good ''tabs'' and stuff...if some1 could give me a site or directly email me some music that would be just ****ing great...

[Riva]

I don't know if you can adapt guitar to piano. I adapted "For Elise" to guitar to play, but that took a long time, and I don't know where you could find those sheets.

My mistake: Here is a book you can buy; http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/product.html?command=search&db=/store/db/inventory.db&eqskudata=HL.2502204&id=64465&searchtitle=sheet%20music

metallica died with the release of the album st. anger R.I.P.

[Paranoidd]

REALLY?!

My world is shattered :upset:

[Riva]

metallica died with the release of the album st. anger R.I.P.


Wow, cutting edge of news there. Good stuff. :p

[Tongue]

metallica died with the release of the album st. anger R.I.P.


Gee, I wonder how many times that's been said. Go to hell, dude.

[Tongue]

Actually that was my InColdBlood side coming out...the side that hates n00bs...so go easy on this kid. It ain't his fault he sucks.

[Better Than You]

Everyone who says that Metallica dies with St Anger should just shut up. They've been around for over 20 years, and in that time they've put out tons of awesome songs and have millions and millions of fans worldwide. St Anger won't take what they did or what they accomplished away. They're still the same people they were in Kill 'em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master of Puppets, just they're style changed. So if you all out there want to listen to something that stays the same, go listen to punk rock.

[Paranoidd]

Aren't you clever.

The fact that they've put out good stuff in the past doesn't change the fact that St. Anger blew. "They changed their style", yeah, to garbage.

Punk Rock > you.

[Otherside]

Since this thread has turned into nothing but repetitive questions from people with under 30 posts, I'm gonna change the subject.

Why do people consider Metallica's first album punk? Or, better yet, why is thrash considered to be a close cousin of punk? I don't see any comparison.

[jppeterson]

St anger does blow. that just makes it not the same to listen to the old stuff because of st. anger. i lost so much respect for metallica

[Tongue]

I haven't. Just because St. Anger was a pile of crap doesn't mean I would lose respect for the band. I mean, come on, they're still playing, goddamn it!

[TwoHeadedSheep]

just cause you dont like their album dosent mean you should lose respect for them. i dont like st.anger that much but metallica have nothing to prove to anybody. and how is their old stuff changed because of st.anger? all their great work in the past more than makes up for it.

[Paranoidd]

Uh, no.

Just because they've done good stuff in the past doesn't mean you should disregard the fact that they've put out crap. Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

And any band who has the mentality that "we don't have to prove anything to anybody" has obviously lost touch with reality. A band should be proving themselves with every album they put out.

piss off, you are a moron. st.anger came out over a year ago, yes its **** - get over it. go listen to ride the lightning. if you think theyve "lost touch woth reality" you cant be much of a fan so why the hell are you posting in a metallica thread.

[Paranoidd]

I'm a FAN, not a blubbering idiot who hangs off of James' nutbag and cries everytime someone says anything bad about the band.

St. Anger came out a year ago, yes, and Ride The Lightning came out in 1984. Thanks for proving my point that they are getting progressively worse.

If you don't think they've got something to prove, then you're obviously naive. Get a reality check.

Metallica have to prove that they can draw themselves out of the rut they're stuck in. They have to prove to their fans that they can still put out good records, because, like you said, St. anger was ****.

Just because they've done good things in the past doesn't mean they can't be criticized for the crap they're doing in the present.

im not saying they shouldnt be criticized. im saying they deserve respect and also that the st.anger debate is old. we'll just have to wait till their new album comes out to see if they are "getting progressively worse".

[TwoHeadedSheep]

P.S im more of a lars person myself

[Firecracker]

i'm listening to Metallica - "Master OF Puppets" at the moment, this has to be my favourite metallica song. i'm not such a great fan of 'tallica but some of their songs are great. such as "for whom the bell tolls" this one, "enter sandman", "nothing else matters", "whiplash" and "ride the lightning"

[Paranoidd]

im not saying they shouldnt be criticized. im saying they deserve respect and also that the st.anger debate is old. we'll just have to wait till their new album comes out to see if they are "getting progressively worse".

They've been getting progressively worse since the Black Album.

Lars is probably the most overrated drummer (toss up between him and Dave Grohl), the fact that Metallica still manages to sell records with him behind the kit is a mystery.

i was only kidding about the lars thing, dont think dissing him is gonna bother me. yes st.anger sucks, load and reload are not the brilliant either. but their first four albums are some of the best metal albums ever. maybe they have been going downhill but if they still play the old stuff live im happy.

[Paranoidd]

I wasn't making fun of Lars to bother you. It's true either way.

Their first three, maybe four albums are good, but ever since then it's been a slow, steady decline.

I ve been out of touch for the last week,who won metallica or opeth?

[Paranoidd]

Who do you think?

[canadianbassguy]

Metallica

[canadianbassguy]

of course

[Tongue]

What, InFlames won? :rolleyes:

[Stevie_P]

so does any one know the real topic that is floating around in here any more?

[guitarfrog]

my favorite album is a tough decision between ride the lightning and justice....................................id say justice

[Joe]

I particularly like Kirk's guitar work on Ride The Lightning, does anyone agree?

holy $hit yes. Fade to black has two amazing solos and amazing chord riffs, as does Ride the Lightning, Trapped Under Ice, Fight Fire with Fire, and Call of Ktulu. but dont forget hetfield, he's an amazing guitarist too

[killswitchlog]

who thinks as far as technical ability, is james better than kirk? i've heard from a few people who don't know metallica but they know james is supposedly REALLY good. i don't know though.

[Paranoidd]

James is a very, very solid rythym player, and he writes alot.

Kirk is a decent lead guitarist, but really has to be kicked in the arse to write something decent (this is well documented).

Given the choice, I'd take Hetfield > Hammet in my band any day of the week.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

With 343 pages, I'm sure every opinion has been tossed around if ever there were any. I almost feel cliche saying "old Metallica" was better or that they sold out. But then again, cliches are born of some truth. Favourite album would have to be Master of Puppets, followed closely by Ride the lightning and Kill em' All. And Justice for All, in my opinion was there last good album. Not that the Black Album didn't have its finer points, and moments of discernable connection with the Metallica of old.....but it was the downward turning point in my estimation, and lacked the edge. I am a Metallica fan for life just on the basis of what they once were, no amount of wrongly evolved future albums will ever change that.

[Taylormade]

Toast to Cliff Burton, he brought finesse to thrash metal you guys have to admit.. To live is to die, awesome solos awesome riffs... Yeah I totally agree with lizzy above, I am also a fan for life, but only on what they once were too.

[Taylormade]

One more thing: The Master of Puppets solo is the most kick *** solo I've ever heard.. And Fade to Black too has a very nice combination of solos..

[Riva]

James is one of the better rhthym guitarists of metal's illustrious history, and in songwriting ability he easily passes Kirk.

[chuckles the silly piggy]

Kirk dosent write songs,he writes riffs,hetfeild writes all the lyrics

[Paranoidd]

You realize a song consists of more than lyrics, right?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Hahaha. Anyway I havent been in this thread that long and I was wondering if Metallica was making a new album anytime soon.

[steven soriano]

......im so happy someone made this this thread!

[Menidar]

James is one of the better rhthym guitarists of metal's illustrious history, and in songwriting ability he easily passes Kirk.

Metallica stopped being metal years and years ago, they doesn't mean they suck or anything, I'm just saying, calling Metallica a "metal" band is no longer true.

[Riva]

What are they then?

[Paranoidd]

Metallica stopped being metal years and years ago, they doesn't mean they suck or anything, I'm just saying, calling Metallica a "metal" band is no longer true.

Yes it is.

[Riva]

Exactly. I hear people who call them country rock because they have heard "Mama Said" and "Low Man's Lyric" played on the radio. Even if they do have some country sounding songs on their latest albums, songs like "The Unforgiven II", "Outlaw Torn" and "Until It Sleeps" prove that they are still a metal band, despite the fact they are no longer Thrash.

[Paranoidd]

Well you know how I feel about genres and arguing about them, but facts are facts.

I find most of the people who say "OMG Metallica aren't metal!" are metal elitist idiots who simply say that because they feel like Metallica is tainting their precious genre just because they've been progressively getting worse as a band. Or, they could be some pseudo-intellectual idiot who wants to argue something subjective and stupid like "Metallica is pop."

They aren't hard rock, they aren't pop, they're metal, period. St. Anger was in fact their hardest album in a while, it just sucked.

[CreepingBlack]

of course. Hetfield wrote everything great metallica has ever done(pretty much). Except for the early Mustaine songs. Hammett is good, but could be replaced easily.

St. Anger is metallica's heaviest album in 16 years. Well, i don't think it sucks, but its definitely no AJFA.

Let's hope they learned their lesson. Metallica is still a salvageble band.

James needs to start drinking again, Lars needs to expand his kit and take some drumming lessons, Trujillo I can't say anything because the poor guy hasn't even had a chance to write anything yet, and Hammett needs to go back to Satch for a refresher course on soloing, right after he gets Lennox Lewis to teach him how to punch Lars in the face whenever he becomes too controlling. No solos my arse."

[Kirk's Puppet]

I've heard somewhere in this thread that Metallica and Slayer are both recording new albums in Jan 2005 (NO not together). I can't ****ing wait and as i said before, anything closer to their roots the St.Anger and i'll be stoked

[Riva]

Yes, Lars needs to stop being a ***** and start practising his double bass.

[dougefresh]

Nice.

I think Trujillo could get some more credit if you could actually hear his bass rather than being drowned out by too trebly scooped midded guitars (does that make sense?)

[chuckles the silly piggy]

On live shows you can hear his bass clearly,you could't hear it on St Anger cos bob rock was playing

[Blanka Flip]

Lars can play the double fine... Demonstrated on the song St. Anger and the tour they are on now... But for christs sake... I hope they get back on track and not release an album under complete pressure... I think Rob will help out in the creative process, they obviously know to get back into solos after the lashing they got from st. anger, and with solos come naturally better music... I'll always love metallica, and i think we are do for a creative burst from the guys... James' lyrics on the anger were complete crap, and...bleh..Don't want to get started...But yeah, i think we are in for a treat.

[Blanka Flip]

That's bullshit. Godsmack is a great band and shouldn't be tied in with nu metal.

It pissed me off when I heard that, Trujillo is a perfectly capable bassist.

[killswitchlog]

hey does anyone know what songs they don't play live? i heard My Friend of Misery they almost never play live and even so never play all of it. i'm almost certain they never play "Escape" anymore even though it is a good song.

[Riva]

Let's just hope the rest of the band punches Lars and Bob Rock everytime they mention the phrase, "Solos hurt the creative process".

[iamtheking]

the only song i liked off st anger was the unamed feeling.

Exactly, or hell, maybe even dropping Lars as the drummer (Keep him around for writing purposes..) and pick up someone like Joey (God knows he won't do anything with Slipknot, or that other band).........

a couple of questions for you guys if you dont mind.
why dont they play Turn The Page live?
i think its a really good song..

and whats going on with lars?
i have a clip where metallica plays "Enter Sandman" with joey from slipknot as the drummer... what happend to lars?

[Bleeding Me]

dont know if it's been said but: what do we think about the load and reload album?

[dougefresh]

I don't like those CDs. It has been discussed 100 times. You'll get a lot of "harcore" Metallica fans saying they sold out big time then and that it's a disgrace to music.

[Paranoidd]

They didn't sell out. They never have. They just made some crappy albums.

[metallikat]

I don't like those CDs. It has been discussed 100 times. You'll get a lot of "harcore" Metallica fans saying they sold out big time then and that it's a disgrace to music.

I have load and reload and there is some cool songs on there like
load: the house that jack built, hero of the day, king nothing and bleeding me.
Reload: slither, fuel, the unforgiven II and bad seed

About joey playing in sand man, in cunning stunts we all now james got 3rd degree burns, after the piro tecnicks went bad but lars was long term ingurgered that didnt take effet till a week after

[1&aHALFstep]

God,

I just wish they'd go back to their roots. It's funny... I got a article in GW prior to the release of St. Anger. And Hammett said something to the effect of... their going to be composing music like they did in their early days. I've yet to hear the resemblance. Hammett was good at blazing solos backed by James' solid riffs. WTF happened? We all fell in love with "Metallica." Why alter the style and sound of the music that started a metal militia!!! Yea yea, times change, fads change... blah blah! I listen to more old school metal than all this new **** combined, regardless of what they bring to the table. Old metallica will still be kickass 20 years from now. They set the bar!!

[Paranoidd]

Wow, nothing gets by you.

[metallikat]

theres no such thing as old metallica
metallica are metallica you could tell what album a met song is just by listening to the stylr, lyrics and james voice.
there is supposed to be a new album coming out with no leaf clover any one who has heard or seen s&m will no what its about
so the "new" metallica will soon be the "old" metallica again

[Paranoidd]

Of course there is such a thing as old metallica.

Your behind on news my friend... They have been playing turn the page here and there on the current leg of the Madly In Anger With the World tour, and Lars was temporarily sick, so Joey, Slayer's drummer, and Metallica's drum tech filled in for a night.

:wave:

[metallikat]

do you have all the albums (exept form st anger) to date

[Paranoidd]

If you're talking to me, yes I have them all.

[metallikat]

and which is your fav ablum and song

[Killseng]

No offense to your comment Superpeer but I love And Justice for All. Every song on there is awesome. Blackened, And Justice for All, One, To Live is to Die. Thats my top four for the cd, but all the songs on it are great.

Agreed all the songs on there are great.

[metallikat]

rite u are

[Paranoidd]

and which is your fav ablum and song

Master of Puppets, Orion.

Although I like the Dream Theater cover better (only because there is no vocal. all the other covers they did suck because of LaBrie.)

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Anything pre black album is good. The black album isn't the best, and it bears no resemblence to the albums before it, so it sounds like a new band. From each album..Whiplash, RTL, Orion, Harvester of sorrow/To live is to die.

[arty]

oh.. well that explains it.
thanks.
i also heard metallica's working on a new album, is that true?

[andy]

possibly, metallica is unexpectable, so it could be true. hopefully its better than ST anger.

[Joe]

holy $hit. i just saw metallica and godsmack sunday at MCI Center in DC...omg that was the most amazing concert i have ever seen (eh godsmack was alright) but metallica was phuckin amazing. do they always have hour-long encores??????

[Diatonic Dissonance™]

I don't know, I love the solos in Master of Puppets more... (And didn't some songs have sweep picking on And Justice For All?)
You're right, I probably LOVE the solos more on MOP but I think the guy asked which CD Kirk excelled on.

Oh, I'm not too sure about on AJFA, the only songs I listen to off that are Blackened, And Justice, Eye Of The Beholder, One, Shortest Straw, To Live Is To Die and Dyer's Eve. Out of those songs the only one that has sweep-picking is Shortest Straw and it only has it once :eek:. But, I must agree the creativity of the solos on AJFA matches the technique and ability of the solos on RTL. So they're about the same.

EDIT: To the person that was talking about the lyrics, listen to the Creeping Death lyrics whilst listening to the song. They're written about all that **** in the bible where they put the blood on the dorrs and the angel of death wouldn't kill the people in those houses etc, pure GENIUS. Also, the Disposable Hereos lyrics are mint as are the Ride The Lightning lyrics and For Whom The Bell Tolls.

/me could go on for ages

[jhetfield]

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:)

Hi guys...

totally new to these forums, but been coming to mx for years...
started guitar about 3 years ago thanks to Metallica. 2nd Album I _ever_ bought was Live ****: Binge and Purge (got it when i was like 8 coz it had the word '****' in it :O)
1st Album i ever bought was some Testament album when i was 6 coz it had a dude having his face being ripped open by hooks, that I thought was kinda cool...

Neway... recently saw Metallica for the 1st time (11 years to see them is a long time) at the Download Festival and i practicly fainted when they came on stage and i was in awe the 1st 3 songs (Blackened, Feul and Ride the Lightning)... ****ing awsome!!!

Just thought id join these forums coz of this threat and add my contribution...

Id say one of my favourite songs (u guys might think its crap) is No Leaf Clover
I love everything else Metallica does like One, Unforgiven, Blackened, Seek and Destroy (another 1 of my faves.)

Thanks guys

[Jomoman500]

I am new to the forums to and been playing guitar for about three years, I personally think metallica went downhill the moment the released load. Kill em all probably has the most impressive guitar and I cant decide if i like master of puppets or and justice for all musically speaking

[Joe]

you mean the song or the album? if your talking about the album you can't compare them. they are completely amazing. but kill em all as the most impressive? i think thats pushin it...its good but i think Ride the Lightning beats it out

I played guitar a little bit before I started listening to Metallica, but ever since I started listening to Ride the Lightning, Kill em All, and Master of Puppets, I've really been into guitar a lot more than I was before I started listening to them.

Metallica will go back to the studio in march or april or somthing like that

So lets make this a cool metallica thread, were EVERYTHING is allowed. You can flame, talk about how much you love st anger, your fvorite solos, everything....this will be like the death heads thread (4500+) and everything death goes in it...
this is the same idea. i mean, **** there aren't that many death threads, and they ahve a sprecial thread, so wouldn't it make alot more sense to have a metallica Offical thread.



Ok, well if its going to be a good thread we dont need newbs posting **** about how much u like St. Anger Lol. St.Anger BLOWS. But Metallica ****IN ROCKS. Puppets and Lightning are definetely the best albums of all time. My fav band.

Battery has an extremely hard/tiring bassline most of the song. Leave it to Cliff (RIP). :thumb: I've come to a conclusion. If you can hear the bass in a metallica song...It kicks a$$!

:wave:

[Paranoidd]

The Unoriginal Bastards.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I just saw Metallica with Godsmack. Easily the best concert I have ever been to. Godsmack opened with there best songs then Sully had a drum solo with Shannon. And Metallica opened with Blackened. And played all there classics and only one song from St. Anger. Kirk had two solos. Robert had a amazing bass solo. Even Lars did pretty **** good with his solos.

[D3athB3ckons]

Tbqh the most amazing Metallica Song has Got to be Fade To black just becasue of the Stupidly Hard Face Melting Solo at the end, :thumb:
Disposable Heroes is also an Amazing Song
The God That Failed,
Human on SnM Disc 2
Bad Seed, King Nothing. and Yes the Earlier Albums were by far the best Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, Blackened (Metallica), Load, Reload, Garage Inc, and SnM was a great addition to the Collection :chug: :evil:
Thanks tell me what u thin kto the L337 Post lol l8rz and Happy Rockin

kirk only had 2 solos?? r u kidding me kirk is the best guitarist in the band and yeah no offense but metallicas new songs r gay compared to their old ones

[MoX_KIll]

I like the Solo in Jump in The Fire

[D3athB3ckons]

Kirk Is GOD, the only other guitarists that come close was Randy Rhoades, Zakk Wylde maybe Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen considering most of those are dead (RIP) Kirk is Most Likely the Best Guitarist on the Planet Tbqh.........

[AMAC]

I saw Metallica and Godsmack yesterday, and my god it was insane.

I've completely lost my voice from screaming so much.

They only played one song from St. Anger, so that was good.

They had a great setlist... lets see if i can remember it all, it wasnt in this order, but they played-

Blackened
Fuel
No Leaf Clover
Master of Puppets
Fight Fire with Fire
Fade to Black
Nothing Else Matters
Sad But True
The Unforgiven
Enter Sandman
St. Anger
Leper Messiah
Jump In The Fire
Seek and Destroy
The Memory Remains
One
Wherever I May Roam
The God That Failed

Kirk played 2 solos, James played 1, and Rob played 1.

It was insane... in the opening to One I thought I might have a seizure..

The only thing I was disappointed about was that they didnt play Creeping Death or Battery, but whatever.

And Rob Trujillo gave me a high five :cool:

[metallica master]

i cant wait to see them live

[metallica master]

as for my favourite solo, i'd have to say blackened. it f.uckin rules

[kornaholic_7]

metallicas dam good but theyr loosin it now and kinda sellin out wit the some kind of monster comin out now. personally, my fave bands r:
1) koRn
2)System of a Down
3)Slipknot
4)Metallica
5)RAMMStEIN
6)Mudvayne
7)Meshuggah

[metallica master]

i think that metallica will release sumthin really bad *** before they ever sell out. they cant leave the music scene with st. anger as their last album

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Ya those bangs at the beginning of One were deafining.(dont know how to spell it)

[Po0sH]

. Out of those songs the only one that has sweep-picking is Shortest Straw and it only has it once :eek:. But, I must agree the creativity of the solos on AJFA matches the technique and ability of the solos on RTL. So they're about the same.


/me could go on for ages
Dyers eve solo has sweeping the intro is sweeping

[Kickflip_Burrito]

What is sweep-picking/sweeping ?

Anyway, my favourite solos are Blackened, Dyer's Eve, Hit The Lights and Creeping Death. Then again, of all Metallica's solos are good.
On a side-note, I'm totally surprised that 'Tallica have been performing 'The God That Failed' recently. Love that song but wow, didn't think they'd play that.

[Isaacsass89]

my favorite solos are one and the ride the lightning solo is really cool too. so is hit the lights and most of the others on kill em all.

[Paranoidd]

Kirk Is GOD, the only other guitarists that come close was Randy Rhoades, Zakk Wylde maybe Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen considering most of those are dead (RIP) Kirk is Most Likely the Best Guitarist on the Planet Tbqh.........

They're all alive except for Rhoads.

And there are tons of better players. You even neglected to mention Satch, who TAUGHT Hammett.

[Otherside]

^^^ Yup, but I think Hammett owns Wylde anyways. And of course Satch is a better player, the man is brilliant.

Temporary poll:
Which Metallica song is better about War [heroes?]:
One or Disposable Heroes?

I'd say Disposable Hereoes, but only because I can't stand the music for One....

[Kickflip_Burrito]

One is better, but Disposable Heroes is better for rocking out.

Whats sweep-picking?

[Blanka Flip]

sweep picking is a continuous strum down the strings with the right hand, while your fret hand hits a different not with every string your picking.

Now for my post...I bought St. Anger when it first came out, and sence have lost the little tiny piece of paper needed for the metallica vault website...Is it possible to use someone elses cd key? and if it is, could i use somebodys? I hate to ask, and yeah, its kind of lame, but i was wandering...The vualt looks like its pretty **** cool, and we all know St. Anger isnt worth re-buying... Well. email me at blankaflip@yahoo.com if you wanna get with me..thanks guys, rock on.

[metallica master]

[QUOTE=Kickflip_Burrito]One is better, but Disposable Heroes is better for rocking out.

no doubt that one is better, but Disposable Heroes is right there with it. One is the kinda song that makes you think.....

[Better Than You]

what cd is Disposable Heroes on?

[MoX_KIll]

I think Disposable Heroes is better even though One is good the best part is aroundth e 4 min mark till end...but Disposable Heroes is good through out the hole thing

[Stevie_P]

I thought this died

[Chu]

what cd is Disposable Heroes on?

Master of Puppets, of course.

[jaymz_is_god]

One is an over-rated song, i love it, but i wouldn't consider it as one of Metallica's best. On the other hand, i think Disposable Heroes is under-rated. Great song, should be played live more often.

same with enter sandman. way too overrated. its got catchy riffs but its one of there songs that i will actually get sick of after awhile, unlike all of there other ones.

fade to black is underrated. it surprises me that its not as popular as puppets, sandman, one, etc. the solo is absolutely amazing and theres so much soul into the beginning.

[Nightmare7568993]

Damage inc or To live is to die what do you think?

[metallovinbastrd]

Damage inc or To live is to die what do you think?

wow, thats so tough. to live is to die has so many amazign aspects in musicianship obviously with the starting power thats trown around and then turns into solos and then the quite part goes to marmonizing guitars. amazing song. damage is also a rad song. extremely fast and powerful saying the least. but for now i'll take to live is to die.

[Mr Dark Soul]

Damage inc or To live is to die what do you think?
Damage Inc. Gotta love that bass opening.

[Riva]

Damage inc or To live is to die what do you think?

Orion vs To Live Is To Die is a better comparison. How can you compare one of the faster Metallica songs with one of their slower ballads. I love both, but for different reasons.

[metal_milita]

are you serious?!?! one has the most unbelievable music! i love them both, especially live

i don't like it how they perform it live anymore. but "for whome the bell tolls" is also a war song, and i think that beats all.

[rage99]

hehe lol n00bs!!!

[Riva]

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" is based on the book by Ernest Hemmingway. It is about a lot more than war, though. It is a good read.

[Heavy0metal0freak]

The past few Sum 41 songs have absolutely ripped off Metallicas work.pisses me off too

[Chu]

are you serious?!?! one has the most unbelievable music! i love them both, especially live

I hate One.. If Metallica never released One but still released St Anger they would have my respect, I have added St Anger to my iPod, but I will never add One (Although ajfa is a great album, I hate One).

[Chu]

100% but I don't think Fade To Black is underrated, ask any Metallica fan their favourite ten songs, and Fade To Black usually comes in somewhere.
Who cares if non-Metallica fans haven't heard it?

[Diatonic Dissonance™]

Disposable Heroes is so underrated. I hate it :( (the fact that it's underrated, not the song).

They should play it so more often! That alternate-picking at the start is to die for!

And the lyrics are pure genius!

Disposable > One.

Ok Metallifans, what about Garage Inc? Nobody seems to focus on that album. What are yuor favourite songs from it?

Mine are : Die, Die My Darling, Last Caress/Green Hell, Blitzkreig, So What, Breadfan and Whiskey In The Jar. Possibly Mercyful Fate.

I always hate it when we have to single out songs because all metallica songs are rich and full of life and youve got to admit garage inc is a piece of cover history and a smashing album.

personally i miss the old early 90's rock they played. it was the best metallica era. even tho no matter what they play i will always be a fan, i do relly wish they would go back to how they used to be. thats what made em unique.

[Aberrationbass]

what do people think of some kind of monster? I personally thought it was awsome! Lars on a speed bike genious!

[Paranoidd]

And yet they did Master of Puppets with no difficulty... ho hum

Pwned.

[jaymz_is_god]

Ok Metallifans, what about Garage Inc? Nobody seems to focus on that album. What are yuor favourite songs from it?

Mine are : Die, Die My Darling, Last Caress/Green Hell, Blitzkreig, So What, Breadfan and Whiskey In The Jar. Possibly Mercyful Fate.

I don't think Garage Inc. gets the credit it deserves. It may be covers but it's still a quality album. My favourite songs would have to be Damage Case, Overkill, The Wait and Whiskey in The Jar

[Metallica17]

amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

master of puppets
fade to black
the one

Blackened, Fade to Black, and the Unforgiven are my personal favourite

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Ride the lightning, Whiplash, Jump in the Fire, Orion, Call of Ktulu, No Remorse, Harvester of sorrow, Seek and Destroy, to whoever was looking for some older metallica songs.

To you Bassists, how many fingers did Cliff use for plucking?

This has little to do with metallica but kerry mentions them so disscuss.



SLAYER guitarist Kerry King recently spoke to the Belgian webzine ConcreteWeb.be about the group's upcoming studio album and the "Still Reigning" DVD, among other topics. Several excerpts from the interview follow:

ConcreteWeb.be: Again everyone awaits the new full-length album and wonders whether it will be one of complete daring stop-start rhythms, intricate song construction, and — most of all — pure SLAYER-ish powersurge?

Kerry King: "Probably! We have ten to twelve songs worked out musically and there is a lot of great **** on those tapes. We haven't really done a lot with lyrics yet. I kinda think that 'Seasons in the Abyss' was the combination of 'Reign in Blood' and 'South of Heaven'. I think that the next one will be an extension of 'God Hates us All' with Dave [Lombardo] playing, and the last time he played was on 'Seasons', so… Essentially what I am saying is how I think it will evolve, but you never know until it's done."

ConcreteWeb.be: When were and how will it be happening and what is the countdown for us?

Kerry King: "We are touring until Christmas and probably after the holidays we'll get unto it. We have a tentative thing that we might go to Japan in January and that would be great because we haven't toured Japan much on this record. If we do that then that is the last thing before we go into the studio."

ConcreteWeb.be: Any regrets or doubts about just having turned 40?

Kerry King: "I wouldn’t change a thing but I do wish we were more prolific. I took a backseat in the nineties and wasn't really involved, which you can tell by the records that are out. It took so long for them to ****ing come out! I had so many hobbies but got rid of all of them, before did 'God Hates Us All', which I think you can tell because it has all that ****ing hatred in it."

ConcreteWeb.be: Are you physically treating your body well?

Kerry King: "Not as good as I should but I do my best, I am 40 but still thrash my ***. METALLICA are 40 but don't even headbang anymore. When I saw them at Download [in the U.K.], the only one that went off is Rob [Trujillo, bass] and he is the fish out of water. I love Rob to death, but he doesn't belong in that band he belongs in SUICIDAL [TENDENCIES] or OZZY [OSBOURNE]. James [Hetfield] and Kirk [Hammett], their heads don't move the entire show. Where do these guys come from? They have turned into pop."

ConcreteWeb.be: Let's not talk about [MEGADETH's Dave] Mustaine then?

Kerry King: "Well, I listened to the entire new [MEGADETH] album and it's a piece of crap. I think Mustaine is one of the worst singers in rock ever, and this is not because I have a personal vendetta with him. Whoever told him that he can sing should be shot on the spot!"

[The Bell Tolls]

I love slayer but kerry is being a bitch here, like tom always headbangs and like kerry doesnt look silly head banging with no hair *rolls eyes* and james has short hair so that would also look silly, he has back problems and hes playing guitar AND singing so headbanging is out of the question.

[Paranoidd]

What he said about Dave is pretty accurate though.

But really, who gives a fvck if the band handbangs? You go to a concert to see music, not a workout.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

But really, who gives a fvck if the band handbangs? You go to a concert to see music, not a workout.

Too right. The band doesn't have to headbang to prove anything, their music speaks louder.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, Kerry puts his foot into his mouth often.

Lucky for him I like Slayer.

[Otherside]

Kerry King is a ****ing jackass. He's always whining about ****, and always talking **** about other bands, yet Slayer has sucked for along time now, and they were never as good as Megadeth or Metallica.

[Ktulu19]

Ahhhhhhhhh, pffffffft! No Megadeth can ever get close to the legendary Four Horsemen! I personally do not like Mustaine. He got thrown out of Metallica for good and obvious reasons. When he started his own band, Megadeth, he basically tried copying Metallica. C'mon look at the Megadeth writing style on Megadeth CDs! Its almost an exact copy of Metallica's writing on CDs.

Slayer is in fact not a bad band. They have some not bad tunes. They were never anything compared to Metallica.

St. Anger is quite a dissapointment to me. This does not ean that I dhave lost my love towards Metallica though! Metallica will ALWAYS be num.1 on my list. St. Anger is much better than any metal recorded by bands nowadays, but it is worse than Metallica.
Still, as Metallica always does...THEY WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING!

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Dude none of you know how many fingers Cliff used to pluck with?

And yet they did Master of Puppets with no difficulty... ho humits wiered
