[metal_milita]

I wasn't sure about this, have people committed suicide after listenning to Fade To Black, that we know of?
A couple of years ago I was going through some pretty rough stages myself, and started taking the lyrics of Fade To Black a little seriously, and started thinking how they apply to my own life (Which is the reason, I think, I like Fade To Black so much).
Luckily I'm too weak to actually do it, but I'm sure there are people who could, I'm just wondering if there are people who have?
ya. supposedly metallica got a bunch of letters from "ex-fans" who let them know that they totally agree with that song and that song helped them commit suicide. i guess they might be commiting suicide anyawys sometime in their life, and that song finished it off for them....

a lot of metallica songs are depressing tho, that's hard to believe. they still play it live all the time

[ExitSandman]

If another person on this forum says metallica sucks, they cant play, and are overrated, Im gonna hang myself cowboy style. lol Im depressed now too.

Turning on The Unforgiven

[metal_milita]

not many with as much passion and emotion and truth as fade to black. besides, i heard it off much music during an ego's and icons presentation of metallica. it was like their mini-tribute.

[Facsimile]

What would be interesting to see how people think: Sanitarium vs. One.

In my opinion Sanitarium ****s all over One. Both in musical(ness? :P) and lyrical content.
One for me. It's One and Fade to Black which I can't decide between. I used to like One more, but then Fade to Black really hit me, and now I just can't choose.

[btoto]

One is overrated..............no, actually it's overplayed. It's a good song but it's too popular. When you hear something too much you can't notice how beautiful it is

[JACKROXYOU]

so i should get some kind of monster for the gay shirts

it has the gayest cover of all time

[Mister_Che]

Fade to Black is a sad song, but it was written because their equipment was stolen, seriously. Read it on their site.

As for one, I still like Fade to Black better.

[Squirrel]

Outlaw Torn is their saddest song.

[Joe]

One for me. It's One and Fade to Black which I can't decide between. I used to like One more, but then Fade to Black really hit me, and now I just can't choose.

yea in one vs. saniterium its one for me, but one and fade to black??? fade to black was the first metallica song i could play and the song that really got me going into metallica. i think the solo is a little overrated in one and way underrated in fade to black. i like both lyrics, but one's more. i like FTB's intro more, but the overall guitar i like more in one.

its pretty difficult to pick, but im going with Fade to Black

[FFbassist26]

One is overrated..............no, actually it's overplayed. It's a good song but it's too popular. When you hear something too much you can't notice how beautiful it is
played alot or not it still kicks as$

[drummin_666]

yeah man one is one of their best songs

[Drum_and_Bass_Guy89]

Hey BTW,did Metallica ever find the people that stole there equipment?

[JACKROXYOU]

i never heard that story what happened

[Facsimile]

One is overrated..............no, actually it's overplayed. It's a good song but it's too popular. When you hear something too much you can't notice how beautiful it is
Poor you. I only hear Metallica songs earlier than the black album on my CDs.

[Diatonic Dissonance™]

Theres actually four solos in sanitarium:

1)0:46
2)2:08
3)4:26
4)5:25
:thumb:
/me knows this.

I never said there wasn't one, I just didn't include it.

For some reason, I always think of those last two as just one solo.

[Chu]

Poor you. I only hear Metallica songs earlier than the black album on my CDs.

[scrowler]

i never heard that story what happened
yeah, this sounds interesting

[Joe]

yea me neither, when was it?

[Fernandes Power]

When they were recording RTL, after a gig in Boston (i think) most of their guitars and amps were taken including Hetfields favourite Marshall... he searched all over Europe for another but didnt find one and settled with one he found in Norway or Denmark or something...

Its not 100% proven that the only reason they wrote Fade To Black was because of that... as Lars said in an interview that James and him were toying around alot with the idea of death/suicide in a song.

[btoto]

Poor you. I only hear Metallica songs earlier than the black album on my CDs.

How the hell does this connect with my post??? :evil:

[Cliff 'em All]

You said you only hear songs earlier than the black album on your CD's, while talking about One, one is before the black album

[Cliff 'em All]

Offhand, does anyone know what brand bass cliff used in the later years (like 85-86) I know that earlier he used a rickenbacker 4003. I'm fairly sure its an Ibanez, but not positive. Out of all people, i should know, but i dont

[btoto]

check out encymet. they must have something about it there

[guitarcreep13]

... It's been 2 days. Is anybody gonna say somethin?

[guitarcreep13]

...Metallica related?

[Joe]

yea i've been wondering about this thread. i think after 372 pages its slowly dying.

back to metallica

they kick ***

[Raven666]

haha dying just like metallica....unfortunately

[guitarcreep13]

:( Do you think this is the longest tread on this website? :(

[Paranoidd]

No, the classic rock thread is.

[vincethesk8r]

Mettalica=sellouts=SUCK ***

[guitarcreep13]

Alright, nobody has said something in like decades so I'll be the conversation starter.

Who is your favorite member of metallica?
James Hetfield
Kirk Hammet
Lars Ulrich
Jason Newstead (I think thats how to spell it)
Cliff Burton
Robert Tru somethin somethin?!

Mine it Jaymz hetfield.

[guitarcreep13]

WOW!
629 Pages!

[Paranoidd]

Lars Ulrich ratted out 100's of fans by walking up the steps of Capitol Hill and saying they downloaded Metallica music.

Yeah what a sellout.

When I was at my job, and they decided to stop paying me, I just stood there and took it up the ***.

My heart goes out to those poor fans who proclaim love for a band but can't be arsed to pay for their music.

[Shred Danson]

Yeah what a sellout.

Exactly, it's called "supporting the band". The band has a job, and that is to play music. It's not like Lars, James, Kirk, and Rob have second jobs to cover the rent, they make their living off of music, just like every other band.

[Guitarist25]

Metallica old stuff is awesome but i think that some of there new songs are alright not better than the old songs.

[Paranoidd]

Metallica old stuff is awesome but i think that some of there new songs are alright not better than the old songs.

You don't say.

[^Dream~Theater^]

People need to stop crying and whining about how metallica are sellouts. if a band tries to make it big, they need album sales, and they cant make that money when 500,000 people download that album instead of paying for it. I dont need to say this, people should just know it and support the **** band if you wanna listen to it. Metallica didn't need the money, but other bands that just come out need that money and when they dont get it, a good band could go to waste because lack of funding. Grow up already, its not hard to support something you love.

[itspuddingtime00]

I completely 100% agree with you.

[BassPlayerOfWis]

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:)
on of my favorite metallica songs is for whom the bell tols... i love the lin "take a look to the sky just before u die, its the last time u will"

[dougefresh]

Metallica old stuff is awesome but i think that some of there new songs are alright not better than the old songs.

So nice of you to contribute to the 15 year old conversation

[motorfist]

I have nothing but respect and support for Metallica and how they dealt with the Napster incident. Only a band with their chops could've done what they did and anyone who considers it "selling out" should ponder the cost of such legal action. Perhaps "paying out" would be a more appropriate term?

People of this opinion are also missing the bigger picture here, as pointed out by Paranoidd and ^Dream~Theater^; if a giant like Metallica had not taken this action, many up-and-comers would suffer as a result - the lack of monetary support for new bands would have resulted in a major hindrance to ALL musical progression.

You may not want to hear this but the music industry is an "industry" and without this corporate, business aspect, most bands would never make it out of their own home towns.

Oh yeah, favourite member = Kirk: excellent guitarist - great speed, technique, plenty of emotion and "feel"

(That last bit is for cai2k :naughty: )

[j_p]

Song: Fuel
Misheard Lyric: Gimme Fuel, gimme fire, gimme donuts on the fire.
Real Lyric: Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire

Wow, just when I thought i've heard them all. On the other hand, Mmmm...donuts.
lol. whenever i first heard it like 6 years ago i thought it was: gimme fuel, gimme five, gimme double on the jive.

I like james better than kirk. He's a more creative... and can make good solos also. He also sings and plays which isn't too easy.

[Squirrel]

James was good at singing and playing, but he pales in comparison to a lot of others now.

[motorfist]

I agree James gets full marks for creativity and has a great ear for a riff, but unfortunately his voice has lost that irresistable growl of his 80s prime. Kirk's still got it all though.

Jason gets my vote in the Past-Member category, however.

[Paranoidd]

I'd take James over Kirk any day. Lead players are a dime a dozen, but a solid rhythm player and singer is hard to find.

[motorfist]

Paranoidd: Lead players are a dime a dozen

Heh, if only. I've had sod-all luck finding one for my own band.

[RiceMonster]

I'd take James over Kirk any day. Lead players are a dime a dozen, but a solid rhythm player and singer is hard to find.
Agreed, Hetfeild also does most of the song writting as well.

[Paranoidd]

Anybody can play scales. Sure, good lead players aren't that common, but everybody wants to be the flashy center of attention lead man.

A solid, precise rhythm player who can compose and play really good melody is hard to come by. Without a good rhythm player, a good lead doesn't matter.

[j_p]

So its agreed. James owns Kirk.

[JACKROXYOU]

yea James owns but he has a very wierd regulrar voice.

he sounded like a little kid when he played live... or is it on purpose?

as for napster. who honestly gives a ****

[Cliff 'em All]

Cliff owns all. Before he died he was probably the best bassist in the world, in my opinion he would be loads better than claypool, whom everybody says is best, if cliff had not died. Cliff could play stuff on bass that some people would struggle to play on guitar. To top it off, he was the most musically trained of the band, and he wrote several large portions of some of the songs' guitar parts, aside from his own bass part. Last, he had the coolest personallity of the group

[guitarcreep13]

Why does James sign his name, 'Jaymz'?

[Cliff 'em All]

Cause he's James godamm Hetfield and he does what he wants

I'd do stupid sh1t like that too if i was hetfield

[Cliff 'em All]

guitarcreep, do you realize that in your avatar, hetfield is playing lefty, did you flip the picture or something?

[Huber]

Cause he's James godamm Hetfield and he does what he wants

I'd do stupid sh1t like that too if i was hetfield

Yeah. The guys from the Dickies (no where near the calibur of Metallica, but still have the rockstar attitude) sign there names as penises. I'd sign my name with replaced letters if I could, but the closest thing I can come up with is Berandun.

[Cliff 'em All]

iendal
danlie
nadiel
adniel

sh1t, i give up

[Paranoidd]

Cliff owns all. Before he died he was probably the best bassist in the world,

You may want to edit that, considering he wasn't even close.

[Riva]

You may want to edit that, considering he wasn't even close.


Omgz Steve Harris lolz.

*this from the Maiden fan*

Well, Cliff was quite intelligent, and was very inventive, in the way he combined classical music's technical feel with metal's aggressive attitude.

However, there are some far more technically proficient bassists, and also a few who match his ingenuity.

[clown_phobia]

I'm just wondering - what sort of education did the metallica members get? Did they finish school? Did they get a university education? When did they realise that music (playing in the band) was going to be their career?

[Timstar]

Cliff owns all. Before he died he was probably the best bassist in the world,
Ever heard of Joey DeMaio from Manowar??? guess not otherwise you wouldnt have said that...

[j_p]

I think the asian guy from Dream Theatre is the best bassist. Even though i'm a guitar player and dont know too much about the bass I say this because all the bass players I know say this.

[Blanka Flip]

Jesus, the classic jump all over the guy that likes cliff part of the thread. Cliff may not have been the BEST in the world...Okay. But who can say they are? Cliff was the ONLY person to play the way he did, and if there was someone else, they didn't have the personality, or they just wern't discovered. I don't know... Cliff was amazing for the way he played, one of the only people I've ever heard play the way he does... SO, to alot of people, he is the best. :wave:

[Blanka Flip]

Offhand, does anyone know what brand bass cliff used in the later years (like 85-86) I know that earlier he used a rickenbacker 4003. I'm fairly sure its an Ibanez, but not positive. Out of all people, i should know, but i dont


Cliff never played Ibanez. The bass your thinking, (black, one pickup) was a now retired Aria Pro II

[mariojenkins]

lol who the hell cares if cliff was the best as far as technical skills and whatnot. That guy was so awesome lol. He was a lot of the reason behind the melodic parts of the first three (er I guess more of the second two) albums. If Cliff were still around I bet we would be seeing a lot more of that kind of stuff...that and if Bob Rock never came into the picture I think...

[Cliff 'em All]

thanks blanka.

And paranoidd, who do you think think was the best bassist when cliff was alive?

[^Dream~Theater^]

thanks blanka.

And paranoidd, who do you think think was the best bassist when cliff was alive?
There is no "Best" anything. when are people going to realize that. everyone is in different gendres so they cannot be compared.

[btoto]

Oh, today we had a jam with my band so I played and sang Motorbreath, Mechanix, Jump in the Fire, No Remorse and Phantom Lord. Now I have a sore throat. It was actually not as hard as I thought it'd be. I need to learn these solos though:

Motorbreath (both)
Jump In The Fire (Last)
No Remorse (First)
Phantom Lord (Second)

Kill 'em All is the best 'tallica album ever ! And most headbangable :)

Robert Turillio is brilliant as well(great 5 min solo at the concert I went to) but saying that Cliff owned the bass world is strechin it. dont get me wrong cliff did own, as a songwriter/ riffmaker. but best bass of his time. na

And for the record, Metallica was influenced by Maiden. This is in reply to both the noobs in my Maiden FA and also the Best Songs voting thread. Both are great bands, but get your facts straight, please.

Aren't 'Tallica influenced by like Diamond Head too?

[Paranoidd]

And paranoidd, who do you think think was the best bassist when cliff was alive?

Don't thank Blanka, he didn't do anything. I didn't jump all over you, I just made a point. Cliff was a fine bassist, but there is no best of anything, and there are lots of bassists who were better than he was.

[mariojenkins]

Metallica was influenced by a million bands lol...Motorhead was one as well, basically every band they covered for Garage, Inc. plus however many hundreds of bands Cliff got his **** from.
I think Kill 'em All has a Maiden influence, but I don't see it as much in the other albums.

[Carn]

well regarding technical skill, Trujillio is so much better then Burton. Just check out some of his stuff with Infectious Grooves..I`m curious to what he can or will add to the writing process

[Blanka Flip]

well regarding technical skill, Trujillio is so much better then Burton.

Depending on the style... For example, Robert's bass solo live is most impressive in the funk category. The guy is a monster when it comes to slapping and such. But in his solo, when he hit the overdrive and went for the fast plucking/ Cliff kind of style, it lacked a whole lot of passion, and much more wasn't near the level to Cliff. He attempted the 3 finger humungo runs like cliff did, but it was covered in dead, missed notes.

I, much like most, cannot WAIT to hear how Rob compliments the writing process...Because...WOw, the guy is amazing.

Yeah the instrumentals were awesome, Call of the Ktulu, hello? Dyer's Eve is pretty sweet, one of my favorites. I was stoked when they played Madison because that was the last song they played, which I have never seen or heard of being played live at all. My list of Metallica favs:
Dyer's Eve
Call of the Ktulu
Phantom Lord
Leper Messiah
Frayed Ends of Sanity
Ride the Lightning (love drumming that song)
and Trapped Under Ice in no particular order

someone was talking about burton and how rob is skillfully better? i agree, it's just cliff was the original metallica

[PH03N1X]

Yeah and so was Dave Mustaine (the guy who kirk replaced), but we dont give a **** about him!! get with the times, sure cliff was original, but he's dead now (RIP). theres none of this 'tis just that cliff was the original' bull****. Hell, no matter how much of the ongoing metallica legacy his memory is apart of, cliff is gone, id even go as far to say that Jason was more metallica than cliff, or maybe not. but i do know that rob rocks now and NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

i'll drink to that - the crazy bass :evil:

[mariojenkins]

Lol ok Mustaine contributed to a small portion of very early material. And besides, he went on to form Megadeath, so we all like to give him credit for that. Maybe if he wasn't such a crazy drunk we would be worshipping Mustaine-created Metallica riffs lol.

is rob a better bass player than jason newsted?

[metal_milita]

how many people have seen the bass solo by cliff burton in "Cliff 'Em All" where he just plays a jaw dropping solo (fingers no doubt) for about 2 minute?? Because if people can beat THAT solo, im just gonna quit guitaring/bassing(<-word doesn't sound right) forever.
on the other hand, where is this live solo by rob? I've never seen it, but it sounds pretty good. The only problem i have with that guy is the way he walks on stage likes hes trying to take a turd, and his headbanging style. Whats with this side-to-side motion? He's a terrible performer, but an awsome musician. Best performer is obvioulsy Cliff (the only one who did hand actions relateing to songs WHILE playing bass, showed a hell of a lota emotion, pretty neat), but Newsted also comes close because throughout the entire time he was with metallica, he was the only one that truly kicked *** on stage (i would have to argue that he commanded almost as much attention live as james and kirk on stage, which made the band sort of complete). Now, everones givin up on headbangin (due to health reasons no doubt), and i actually feel compelled to turn off the T.V when I see rob perform. With Burton/Newsted, seeing metallica live was so different than today. I almos think that fans see them live just out of respect for the band and to see them play their favorite songs. I don't believe they're accumilating fans because seeing metallica live is still that awsome. I think its the old age....or the lack of alcohol...

boy did I ever drop some hard opinions. don't flame me, metallica rocks and all of its previous/future/present members do also.

Her band isn't even that bad but man her singing is HORRIBLE.... so i keep it now in a folder named PROOF THAT AVRIL SUCKS .... I dunno i thought it was kinda funny :lol:
i don't like avril, but i think the only reason it sounded "bad" is because it was sung by a girl. The voice thing wasn't there, and actually neither was the tone. But hell, did you see when Limp Bizkit performed?? The pained expression on kirks face is priceless!

[PH03N1X]

or maybe we could get right off topic.......
wtf

[Paranoidd]

well sure enough being the good old noob i am i find the search thread button on the top right hand corner and of course it turns out this has been mentioned before... oh well i tried :rolleyes:

The fact that you at least found the button and realized/admitted you made a mistake puts you head and shoulders above most.

[btoto]

Best quote ever.
Goodluck with your band :)
I'd like to hear some of your band's work, if possible :)

Hey thanks man, but we don't have our stuff yet. We've started not so long ago. About a month only. So right now we're playing 'tallica's stuff to learn playing together.

I used to play 'tallica songs very good. But I played them alone in my room. Wow I didn't know that playing with other musicians would be so hard. :wave:

[JACKROXYOU]

is rob a better bass player than jason newsted?

no just different

[LegalizeIt89]

i used to like metallica alot but whne jason newstead left it really brought the band down but i gave another chance with that monkey looking dude from suicidal tendeneis but he left so i kno metllica had to be sucky so mettalica can suck my hairy balls cuz they should of kept doing drugs and having groupies not all this non sense with marrage and be nice n **** i want the old hard core f*ck everything metallica!

[JACKROXYOU]

uh w/e dude but the monkey dude aka rob trujillio is still the bass. and why cant they be married they're freakin middle aged.

proly the smartestrockers out of the whole bunch to settle down someone.

yea dude you should be lucky. most bands quit after a couple of years and there still rocking out like crazy. so what if their married, it's not a big deal. it's not like you hear about their groupies and hear what they did to em and stuff and you'd hafta be pretty perverted to wanna know that stuff. rob kicksass too. jason was with metallica the longest, but rob is awesome. go see them live with rob. just do it.

[At-The-Drive-In]

Too bad they haven't come to tour anywhere close to where I live... :upset:

[The Fonz]

metallica is freakin awesome... i jus got into them this summer... and they have quickly become one of my favorites ... among others.... in my opinion... these are there greatest sone.... fade to back... the call of ktulu... master of pupets ... u no.. teh obvius one...
the dont come on tour near me eitehr... it sux... i live in a small town in ... new jersey

[mariojenkins]

That's unfortunate because anyone who misses Metallica is missing out on an awesome show. They won't be playing like they are now for much longer I don't think. They still have such awesome energy, which is very impressive considering a 25 year career. And when people bitch about them changing their style of music it's just crazy. Think about it: are you still playing the same exact **** when you first became a musician? If so, you really need to grow musically, because that's kind of weak. Just because Metallica is a metal legend doesn't mean they're a whole lot different from us as far as musicianship and ideals.

[Blanka Flip]

is rob a better bass player than jason newsted?

I don't know, I could rarley hear Jason... His live doodle was great though. I think Rob is a better technical player than Jason, though alot of Jason's lines are too dam cool...

[JACKROXYOU]

hey and as long as they are married we all have a better chance of sleepin with the chicks they wont.

any one see that you can buy frekin concerts online. if you go to the site you can buy the show you went to. Amazing

[chantian_deanie]

I saw them at the Big Day Out last year, they were awesome, since then they've been one of my favourites.

P.S. good thread idea, someone should really sticky it.

[iamkirk]

Metallica were simply great from kill em all through to and justice for all.....

After that it starts to go down hill I hate to say. I'm a big metallica fan, and have been for a long time. But it is rare I will listen to anything on the black album or later....unless it's live of course. Sandman really doesn't agree with me. I still watch anything live I can get my hands on though ^^

Favourite song has to be Fade To Black I think though, or to live is to die....(that song still makes my spine shiver everytime I hear it, in a good way I mean.)

personally, metallica was great until after the black album. sandman is the worst on the cd, but the whole thing is great.

couldn't have a better favorite song. fade to black kicks so much ***

[Joe]

there should be a rule about not having "..." all the time. they're amazing. and did you mean "greatest songs?"

go to a bigger town when there on tour, its hella worth it

[iamkirk]

Oh and Ride The Lightning(song) is simply :O

Favourite album being Ride the Lightning if you haven't guessed.

[JACKROXYOU]

so is anybody gonna buy the the concert they went to off www.metallica.com ??

i did and it brings the whole day back

[BuddyHolly1994]

Metallica sucks

Big time

[Facsimile]

Wow, you're original.

[ToRidTheDisease]

I thought of something that would be kick ***. In my S&M cd, on "one", James does some really heavy screaming in one part and I think it would be awesome if the next metallica cd, he did really heavy vocals. Discuss.

[Mr. Squiggles]

I like the older stuff like Ride the Lightining and And Justice For All. But this new album Some Kind of Monster sucks. Metallica rock though.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Oh yea I forgot Kill em' All
PS. Jump in the Fire ROCKS!!

[btoto]

No ! Phantom Lord rocks too !

[Joe]

I thought of something that would be kick ***. In my S&M cd, on "one", James does some really heavy screaming in one part and I think it would be awesome if the next metallica cd, he did really heavy vocals. Discuss.

well the thing that sucks is that he's 40+. i just saw them in concert with godsmack and it doesn't seem as if he can scream so much anymore. they're all gettin old, the guitar and drums is slowing down and the vocals aren't so heavy. **** aging...metallica kicks ***

besides heavy vocals, they really need soloing and to know when to stop. on st anger songs kept on going and going and there werent any solos. the next albums needs both

[Mr.P.]

I don't know, I could rarley hear Jason... His live doodle was great though. I think Rob is a better technical player than Jason, though alot of Jason's lines are too dam cool...

I love how rob plays the bass like a chello on stage... its so god **** awesome!!!!

[RNR]

He looks so funny when he plays.

I do hope youre fu.cking joking... :rolleyes:

The live album? I don't think so...

[Joe]

well it was ok, but some of the really good screaming songs i have recordings of didn't have screaming. like One and Fade to Black didn't have much. i don't remember puppets, it might have

well you forgot a few of their older albums, but SKOM kicks ***

[guitarcreep13]

Huh, I noticed somethin' I had never noticed before. Listen to S&M disc 1 number 5 (The Thing That Should Not Be) skip to 3 minuetes and 10 seconds (3:10) I had never noticed this.

[Riva]

What am I noticing?

[guitarcreep13]

Listen harder. listen to Jaymz.
You'll get it.

[Riva]

James isn't singing at 3.10.

[Po0sH]

Listen harder. listen to Jaymz.
You'll get it.
Are you talking about the echo on his voice?

[guitarcreep13]

OMG!
Okay Okay,
listen at 3:10 and continue to listen.
The think actually happens at 3:18
:confused:
How long does it take to figure this out?

[guitarcreep13]

maybe i went too far back

[Po0sH]

If you are talking about that laugh, that is him.

[guitarcreep13]

that must be embarassing

[JACKROXYOU]

dude dont try to point stuff out on cd's cause nobody is gonna get

but i did :thumb:

[MOP_Orion]

[JACKROXYOU]

^^^^ no crap dude

[Heavy0metal0freak]

Who can play the fight fire with fire solo? can u rate it compared to other metallica solos on diffuculty?

[Riva]

I don't get it. What's so good about James making a sound effect with his voice?

[the unnamed feeling]

Hey, has anybody seen the some kind of monster movie? It hasn't come out yet here in mexico so I was wandering if I could get any reviews, thanks.

[btoto]

Disposable Heroes
Sanitarium
Master of the puppets
one
Wherever I may Roam
fight fire with fire
Fade to Black
Nothing else Matters
Sad But true

[guitarcreep13]

[guitarcreep13]

Nem's solo is good

I say Wherever I may roam is awsome because it entirely fits in with that 'area' of music

[btoto]

Nice Solos:

No Remorse
Jump In The Fire
Fight Fire With Fire
Orion
Leper Messiah
Struggle Within
NEM
Unforgiven II

[Cy-bonk]

Dude, Metallicock aren't even that good, they only got big because of bogans if you want decent solos try blues, the guitar solos in blues are awesome, something you metalheads couldn't *comprehend.
Also Metallicock hate FIRE, dude, flames are cool, and then you touch them and they hurt, and then you start burning stuff and eventually people.
Yet another thing Metallicock hate is file sharing, dude where would the internet be without file sharing, file sharing is bloody awesome, and all you metalheads like P0rn, and the best and easiest way to get P0rn (without payment) is Kazaa or other file sharing *application like WinMX. Face it Fire is cool, P0rn is cool, metalheads aren't cool and either is Metallicock.

* Careful it's a big word.

[clown_phobia]

that would have been easier to read if you'd spelt metallica right.

[Riva]

I don't watch porn, and I don't see how "application" and "comprehend" are big words. And I don't see where the **** you got the whole "fire" argument from. While it is good you listen to Blues, you give blues fans everywhere a bad name.

yes :lol:

can someone explain to me what happened to metallica at their Load and Reload albums?

i just bought the albums today and listened to it, and i think it wasnt them :confused: they dont sound the same

[btoto]

^They grew up and their tastes changed. What's wrong with that???

[Dimebag_n_cliff_RIP]

I bought me a bass guitar the other day and i've been working on Metallica songs (of course), but for some reason, even playing the simplest stuff sounds crappy. the bass is a rogue, but im thinkin maybe the strings are crap. see, once my bro got a crappy acoustic and the strings sucked so you had to like, mash the strings down really hard for it to not make that BWOW noise. the same thing is happening with my bass so im thinking getting better strings would make it easier to press down and make the sound flow more smoothly. think that would help?

[Mr. Squiggles]

Best Metallica songs IMO

1. Jump In The Fire
2. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
3. Ride The Lightning
4. For Whom The Bell Tools
5. & Justice For All


Metallica's worst song IMO

1. Everything on Some Kind of Monster
2. I Disappear

[btoto]

^no, worst song is The Memory Remains ! Who the hell is that Marianne Faithful??!!

[^Dream~Theater^]

Hey is anyone besides me in the Metallica club?

[shadow_stalker]

^no, worst song is The Memory Remains ! Who the hell is that Marianne Faithful??!!

that song is great

[Bloodlust]

I have first 5 albums of metallica but havent got load n reload, are these good albums????? i heard they were crap from many people n i jst wanted ure opinions

[mariojenkins]

^They grew up and their tastes changed. What's wrong with that???
Wow finally someone other than me has said that...and who was that clown talking about blues guitar? Is that guy insane? Because if he has EVER listened to Metallica, it would be very apparent Kirk's deep blue's influence. You're a moron my friend, a true disgrace to not only yourself, but humanity. Just another little thief bitching about file sharing. I mean if you were a painter and some guy came into your studio, snapped a bunch of pictures and printed them off and started spreading them around without your consent, would you be happy with it? No, doubt it. Music is art, too, as any musician knows. So stop bitchin because you can't steal anymore. (btw I have downloaded songs too but I'm not complaining because people are cracking down on that stuff.) And please, Cy-bonk, change your avatar, because you're giving us drummers a bad name.

[mariojenkins]

I like Load and Reload, but like btoto said it's a bit different style. They're not out blasting and screaming ...And Justice style. But who can go wrong with songs like King Nothing. I would recommend getting them if you're a fan. And why the hell do people keep calling it the "some kind of monster" cd...do you realize it's in fact entitled "St. Anger"?

[benfan]

its presonal preference really,if you wanna hear metallica as they were in the old days and now the new days (confusing)i.e-fast,aggresive and with long hair steer clear, but if you wanna hear metallica getting down and dirty, not so fast but still reallly damm cool then buy them. i like the albums i think they had to try something new before the music industry got saturated with crappy bands trying to rip them off

oh and the worst metallica song has to be ronnie

[Burdcheese]

And why the hell do people keep calling it the "some kind of monster" cd...do you realize it's in fact entitled "St. Anger"?

They're not talking about St.Anger, but the Some Kind of Monster EP which has the Some Kind of Monster single and some live performances

[mariojenkins]

Oh I never even heard of that lol I thought some people were just crazy. Well now I feel like a fool.

[JACKROXYOU]

There wasn't really any need for that

[metallicafan501]

i agree that Load and Reload are a different style and i like them both but does anyone know like what kind of style it is (ex: faster, aggressive, blah...). i mean could u really explain the different style without just saying that its just "different".

just thought about that. and that blues guy is a fagg. i listen to some blues too and yes there are some pretty awesome solos but most of kirk's solos are better. IMO

[JACKROXYOU]

how bout theres

blues
Awsome
Kirk
Awsome

like both and get over it

[Death Grim]

Metallica Rock, no doubt there, right? St Anger sucked compared to the Black Album, it was a good album but not up to par with the other albums.

i think that alot of metallica fans feel that way

what is the news,if any, on the new album?

[Metallica Rules]

Geez, to be honest I do not like St.Anger. And i do not understand why Metallica says it's the best album they ever make. They say it's a bigger album than the black album. And songs that totally blows and skull-crashing metal which they had never done before. I beg to differ.
1) I don't understand why they made that statement of saying St Anger would be Metallica's best album.
2) I don't understand why Kirk didn't make any solos in the Album. Solos really can define our emotions our pain adding-on to the lyrics.
3) I don't understand why they rush into an album since they've returned, why can't they make a proper album so the new generation of kids don't get misuderstood that Metallica sucks because of St.Anger.
4) The lyrics in St.Anger totally doesn't make any sense at all. Compare Fade To Black and Unforigven, it's so meaningful and could mean so much to each and every one of the fans out there.
5) Do they even know St.Anger had really cause a big disappointment to the fans? And to as far as some will hate Metallica.

I will still respect them but this are the questions i wanted to get off my chest for quite some time and i hope someone will answer them properly and reasonable.

[Po0sH]

i think that alot of metallica fans feel that way

what is the news,if any, on the new album?
They have material and are going in the studio in the spring.

[JACKROXYOU]

is it a mystery cd or do we know what we're getting from this?

is anyone gonna answer my question?

[Joe]

I compleatly agree.

yea really!!!

that one kicks *** but i just bought the concert i went to on MIAWTW tour and its awesome too

[JACKROXYOU]

you did so did i it was awsome

well next up on the agenda i guess is do you care that they got haircuts?

me eh i dont care i cant see them playing when i listen to my walkmen

[Mister_Che]

I don't care about their hair, though it's interesting that Kirk has plugs.

You do not like St. Anger? I think that's a farfetched thing to say for a guy with a user name stating "Metallica Rules". As far as Kirk's not soloing, did you read the feature in Guitar World last year on St. Anger, where Kirk said they didn't fit with the songs? And the lyrics mean something personnaly to Lars, Kirk, and James.

I don't understand why they rush into an album since they've returned, why can't they make a proper album so the new generation of kids don't get misuderstood that Metallica sucks because of St.Anger.

Hmmm...maybe it's because they love music and want to PLAY music???? I'm just going out on a limb on that one. Seriously, dude, if you really think Metallica rules, you wouldn't be bashing their newest album.

i agree about the solo thing somewhat. it's still a let down. Kirk is great at soloing.

as for Metallica Rules(whichmeans theyre proly a big fan) fans have always reseved the right to bitch about thier favorite band, artist, etc.

[Junooni]

what does he say right b4 the solo in enter sandman on S & M?

duh

[guitarcreep13]

I don't care about their hair, though it's interesting that Kirk has plugs.
huh, i did not know that.
I dont like him with his cut hair if you ask me. it's tacky

[Freezing Moon]

qI went to their concert last spring in Boise, Idaho...

I lost some respect for Metallica there.

1. though it's interesting that Kirk has plugs.

I haven't read back much, but I'm assuming that means ear plugs. They all had ear plugs when I went.

2. They completely ****ed up on one of my personal favorite songs "Creeping Death" (I'll send anyone who wants the live track).

Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica, but I'd have to say lately I haven't been all to pleased with them.

[Master*of*Puppets]

I agree with in cold blood. Don't be bashing them anymore as i think metallica already got the message. Kirk didnt want to solo anymore becasue like cold blood said, they solos wouldn't fit into the songs very well. He was also very tired of soloing. After being on the road for years and years it kinda wears u out. i dont know if he had anything left in him to write more solos for that album (thats what my guitar teacher said anyways). I am pretty sure Metallica will do there best to please fans with their next album becuase St.Anger got a huge response :lol: , and if it's not that good im not gonna bash em cause i respect those dudes and there prolly trying their best to write better stuff. And about the hair thats the one thing metallica did wrong most, they NEVER should have cut it (i guess newstead couldnt help it lol for those fans who know what im talking about) with metal the hair isn't everything but its just an important thing for me lol.

[spitfirejunky]

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.

I'm sick of redundancies...

While I'm not a big fan of Metallica, I'm a bigger fan of their more recent hard rock career. But I'm really not catching on to this whole idea that Hammet wouldn't like to solo anymore. Unless he wants to experiment just pure metal sounds free of intricate solos, he should at least try to grip a new method of soloing consistent with the new sound. Yes it's difficult, but it would prove to be a great feat for a band that wishes to inspire the new generation of fans.

While I'm not a big fan of Metallica, I'm a bigger fan of their more recent hard rock career. But I'm really not catching on to this whole idea that Hammet wouldn't like to solo anymore. Unless he wants to experiment just pure metal sounds free of intricate solos, he should at least try to grip a new method of soloing consistent with the new sound. Yes it's difficult, but it would prove to be a great feat for a band that wishes to inspire the new generation of fans.

I think the whole issue is "time". If Hammet spent some time making awesome solos, which he did for AJFA, then I think fans would have embraced St. Anger. But seeing as he felt the solos he came up with didn't fit with the songs, maybe he'll spend a little more time for the next record.

After what happened with St. Anger, I sure hope they step up to the plate finally and make a better album. The last awesome album they made was Metallica, so its really been a while.

Yes, I still haven't lost my hope for Metallica. But it is a bit depressing that Hammet had to make that compromise. I'm a big fan of Metallica solos.

Yeah. Well, maybe there will be a couple solos. Kirk did say he was tired of doing "Stevie Ray Vaughn solos", I think that's an obvious refrence to the solos on the Black Album, Load, and Reload.

That would be awesome.

[JACKROXYOU]

mmm uni-boob

lets talk about somethin better than st anger.

How bout something cool or funny that happened at a metallica

mine favorite is when the roadies were settin up for metallica this really ugly stoner threw a beer on stage and three bouncers jumped him and beat the **** out of him

[Mister_Che]

In a show here in Houston, Lars stormed offstage in the midle of a song because he said someone threw something at him. James told the cowd that they were here to have a good time and didn't want to mess around with anybody. Well, since there were cameras everywhere, they decided to review the tape after the show.


Turns out Lars was drumming so aggressively that he hit himself on the head with one of his drumsticks.

[JACKROXYOU]

heh nice did you go to the one in the toyota center Che?

[Mister_Che]

Most certainly did.

[JACKROXYOU]

you see that stripper chick at the intermission or the stoner get the **** beat out of him?

both were funny as hell

[6Stringer]

i'm certain everyone in this thread has heard Fade to Bluegrass: A Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica? That has to be one of the greatest bluegrass tribute albums i've ever heard.

Yeah, I've meant to pick up Iron Horse's tribute to them, but haven't yet.

[Joe]

omg i've seen so many tribute albums. they are mostly awful. bluegrass, punk, symphomy (not so bad, because im used to S&M) but for the most part they suck.

metallica should just put out a greatest hits instead

yeah. As to Lars and the drum set---absolutely hilarious. Hey--I watched a bunch of tapes of concerts and found that in every one I saw, someone throws a banana peel at James...anyone else notice that? I even have a really old, pre-AJFA tour bootleg of Sanitarium, in which James suddenly starts yelling about someone throwing things at him...

Also...heh...perhaps this has already been addressed (checking 344-ish pages for it is tedious) but if it hasn't, go to stupidvideos.com...there's a clip of a bootleg there in which Kirk falls flat on his face doing a solo in mid-song....

and finally...the lack of solos on St Anger...well, yeah, a lifetime of being a guitar god would soon become less-than-enjoyable, but if you really listen to the music on St Anger, some of the guitar work is actually pretty good...like Sweet Amber and Invisible Kid (although I only payed attention to the cool vocal work on that one)....

yeah. There are my two-to-fifty cents...

[JACKROXYOU]

HAHAHAHAHA what a whiny b!tch
