Lots say RTL is their favorite album. but no one puts all their albums in order
favorite to least favorite, S&M counts. However, i wont start (Cause it's embarassing)

[We_Did_die_young]

I remember back in the day when this was the longest thread in R&M. But thats all changed now...

[DisposableHeroes]

favourite moments off Cliff 'Em All everyone?

Lars: hey cli-
Cliff: THE F**K DO YOU WANT!?

Or any scene when they're drunk :p

[^Dream~Theater^]

Cliff em all is awesome

I remember back in the day when this was the longest thread in R&M. But thats all changed now...

the community thread has overtaken it :cool:
but even this thread + the community thread together can't equal the guitar forum's community thread :upset:

[Burdcheese]

I know - I dropped into the stronghold the other day - 68 000 posts! It will no doubt have increased exponentially since then.

[munky_magik]

It's totally crazy. I've never read through it though so I don't know if it's a proper community thread or if it's just mindless spam/ rep whoring.
Me thinks the latter.

[Shred Danson]

Oh well, as long as this thread contains good discussion concerning Metallica, it doesn't matter that we have the most posts in the Forums. Decent threads are hard to come by.

[Burdcheese]

Just checked - 4th largest behind classic rock, the community thread and the death heads (I was away from MX for quite awhile - why did they revive the original one?)

[Burdcheese]

It's totally crazy. I've never read through it though so I don't know if it's a proper community thread or if it's just mindless spam/ rep whoring.
Me thinks the latter.

But some spamming can build the community. There's actually a fairly good mix between spam and constructive talk in there.

[JACKROXYOU]

im surprised to i think i started posting in this thread about 200 pages back

so is it time to continue the lists or should i wait?

[munky_magik]

But some spamming can build the community. There's actually a fairly good mix between spam and constructive talk in there.

some spam doesn't fall under the Mindless Spamming community though. I myself qquite enjoy tastefull spamming :p

[Shred Danson]

Just don't do it in here, munky :lol: You'll bring our beloved Metallica thread down.

[munky_magik]

Just don't do it in here, munky :lol: You'll bring our beloved Metallica thread down.

now, now. I would never do such a horrible thing to your lovely thread ;)

[Burdcheese]

Glad to hear it ;)

[munky_magik]

so just you bear in mind what I could be doing right about now :p

[Burdcheese]

You're bringing the forums down on your own munkey ;)

[munky_magik]

:eek: I am doing no such thing, well at least not without your help :)

[Burdcheese]

I will never join you on the dark side!

/thinks







aww ****

[Yppolitia]

Lets just get back on track and carry on talking about Metallica!

[Burdcheese]

Thank you - I just didn't have the heart to say it myself...

Right favourite songs on Garage Inc.
Discuss

[munky_magik]

Mercyful Fate. That Medley is by far the best thing from both discs IMO

[Shred Danson]

now, now. I would never do such a horrible thing to your lovely thread ;)

Goody.

[Shred Danson]

Mercyful Fate. That Medley is by far the best thing from both discs IMO

Yeah, that was my favorite cover as well.

[Squirrel]

Die, Die my Darling.

[Dark Helmet]

One Last...........Caress

[Burdcheese]

I actually love the whole of the first disc. Second disc isn't so good - especially the Motorhead covers (really badly recorded)

[Shred Danson]

The Skynyrd cover brought a tear to my eye. Not really, I just like saying that :p

[Burdcheese]

/Me loves skynyrd even if I can't pronounce their name

[munky_magik]

so, for those of you that have heard the originals, how do you think the 'Tallica versions compare? I think that in most cases they do a better job.

[DisposableHeroes]

I dont actually have the covers dics, but i do have quite a few of the covers they've done. Not much beats blasting out So What :p

[Joe]

why are we talking about skynyrd in the 'tallica thread?

[led_zep_luvr]

i like last caress

[munky_magik]

why are we talking about skynyrd in the 'tallica thread?

Because we were talking about Garage Inc. and Metallica covered "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynryd on Garage Inc.

[Burdcheese]

so, for those of you that have heard the originals, how do you think the 'Tallica versions compare? I think that in most cases they do a better job.

Whiskey in the Jar:
Metallica > Thin Lizzie by a long way

The Thin Lizzie version is actually quite horrible

Thats the only one I've heard both of.


I shall report back my opinions if Diamond Head play any of the songs on Garage Inc, when I see them in February (Supporting Megadeth :D )

yea the thin lizzie is just plain bad

[EddieEstepmetallicafreak]

I think that ride the lighting is the best album of all.

[JACKROXYOU]

dont we all

[Mister_Che]

Indeed

[JACKROXYOU]

I think that ride the lighting is the best album of all.

now this is the part where you explain why

[Burdcheese]

*nominates S&M above RTL*

[JACKROXYOU]

*denies nomination*

for whom the bell tolls on s&m is crap, but s&m is good

What show you going to? I'm Feb. 3rd bound.
And really the only originals that I prefer are the Mercyful Fate ones.

[Mister_Che]

*nominates S&M above RTL*

*seconds the nomination


If only they could've managed to keep The Unforgiven and Fade to Black in there. They had to cut them out since they couldn't write decent orchestra parts for it. Still, I think Call of Ktulu and Battery sound infinitesmal amounts better than the originals in this concert.

5 Stars *****

[EddieEstepmetallicafreak]

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:)
yeah how about nothing else matters,ride the lighting,battery,fight fire with fire,and last but not least traped under ice

[Burdcheese]

What show you going to? I'm Feb. 3rd bound.

London, 9th Feb


And I second everything Mister_Che says

[munky_magik]

London, 9th Feb


pfft, you and your crazy London shows :p

[Burdcheese]

We just have to do things that little bit differently here :cool:

[Mister_Che]

London, 9th Feb


And I second everything Mister_Che says

Yesss, succumb to my hypno ray....


Oh, umm nevermind...Just about every song on S&M was great, although it would've been cool to have the orchestra play more Metallica like what they did with the Battery intro. Imagine how cool it would've been.

[metallicamaniac16]

Some parts of S&M were good, like One, Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters, No Leaf Clover, Battery, and Fuel. But I think the orchestra overdid it a little bit. Half the time, I can barely here the guitars.

[Joe]

*nominates S&M above RTL*

ooooh thats pushin it

*nominates live sh*t over s&m and also nominates rtl over s&m*

[Joe]

agreed, the orchestra overdid Wolf and Man

but i have to agree with VH1, Metallica is the only metal band that had an orchestra and kicked ***

EDIT- ***

[Burdcheese]

Overdoing it they may be - but the original versions of Of Wolf and Man and The Thing That Should Not Be are terrible songs. Not the case with their S&M versions.

Edit: I suppose it depends on how much you like classical music

[munky_magik]

You should really listen to more bands.

i like of wolf and man and thing that should not be but they are great on s&m

*nominates s&m over Live Sh*t*

*nominates studio albums over live albums*

*also says that live and studio stay seperate

[^Dream~Theater^]

S&M was great. Wish they used the symphony for more than a filler though.

[JACKROXYOU]

how should they have been used?

[^Dream~Theater^]

how should they have been used?
More atmosphere, more orchestrated parts instead of them just playing the same thing as metallica is all the time. If your going to take that much time to get an orchestra and have them learn all these songs, then at least use them in a better way instead of filler.

[Mister_Che]

S&M was great. Wish they used the symphony for more than a filler though.

You've gotta be kidding! I thought it really added to every song and just enhanced it. Ah, well, to each his own.

[Mister_Che]

...more orchestrated parts instead of them just playing the same thing as metallica is all the time.

They defenitely were not playing the same thing all the time.

[JACKROXYOU]

yea if you listen to fuel at the end its way different or it in a higher octave

[\m/Pete\m/]

You've gotta be kidding! I thought it really added to every song and just enhanced it. Ah, well, to each his own.

I'll 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th that

I love S&M, i dont know why everybody else ive talked to doesnt like it. Its a musical masterpiece in my eyes. I too wish there were some other songs added to the list but its ok. I think where the ochestra stood out the most was on Battery, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, MoP (especially the slow solo part), and OMG -Human probably has the coolest intro i've ever heard...love that song.

[metal_milita]

holy crap, what was it, ~10 pages in 3 days?? This threads on a roll.

But ya, i've been playing guitar for 10 months (6 months with an amp) and these are the 'tallica songs i have gotten down on my guitar with the help of the internet and thats all. I've never taken a single lesson in my life, and i don't plan to. I play with a BC Rich Warlock, and a Marshall amp, so i produce a relativley good sound from it.

This is the list. X/4= percentage i've learned.

Call of Ktulu 3/4- Solo is very tricky, so i don't count the solo yet.
MoP 4/4- Naturally it was the first song i tried to learn.
Blackened 3/4- This song is fun to play, but so hard. The solo just makes my hands hurt.
Dyers Eve 2/4- No way im getting the solo any time soon.
Fade to Black 4/4- Naturally.
One 4/4- Easiest song to learn + solo.
Welcome Home (Sanatarium) 4/4- relativley easy. Solo has its moments though.
Enter Sandman 3/4- I haven't learned solo yet, mainly because i don't have a tremolo bar/whammy
Unforgiven 4/4- Oldie but goldie
Nothing Else Matters 4/4- Sounds nice.
Am I evil 2/4- The songs good, but I never got around to finishing it.
For Whom The Bell Tolls 4/4- This song maybe easy, but its the funnest to play.
Ride the Lightning 2/4- Lots left to learn from this classic
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) 4/4- I play it on guitar, sounds ok.
Fight Fire with Fire 2/4- Never really made an attempt to polish it off or to learn the solo.
To Live is to Die 1/4- I'll start soon.

I can play very choppy performances of these songs (never perfect, theres always some mistakes, and it pisses the hell out of me) and I'm wondering what else I should learn. I'm still relatively beginner but I want a good sounding song...

[btoto]

The Memory Remains on S&M sounds definitely better than the original version.

[btoto]

to metal militia:

You've never tried the 4 horsemen??? That's my fav 'tallica song to play.

Also, Am I Evil is a very easy song, try to finish it :thumb:

[\m/Pete\m/]

Yeah Am I Evil is probably one the funnest jam songs too...i love that one and Sad But True

[Freezing Moon]

to metal militia:

When you get that down try playing Mechanix by Megadeth. The speed is amazing!

[btoto]

^Oh, actually I love Mechanix more. I tried to learn the solo, it's way more interesting that 4 horsemen. But there're only 22 frets on my guitar so I have to play it a bit different. I try to keep the main themes though. :thumb:

Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heaaaaaaat

[^Dream~Theater^]

Yeah Am I Evil is probably one the funnest jam songs too...i love that one and Sad But True
Am i evil is very fun to play. I love that intro solo and the few harmonics before the main riff comes in.

[Freezing Moon]

Yeah I like that song better too.

It's like Metallica on fast foreward, even though I'd say Four Horseman has more developed riffs than Mechanix.

Dave flies through that solo!

[btoto]

^Well, frankly speaking, my fav version of that song is The Mechanix from No Life Till Leather Demo (1982). James' voice is so funny there, the guitar and drums sound very good for a demo tape and Dave shows an awesome solo there.......not as good as in 'deth version but better than 4 Horsemen :thumb:

[JACKROXYOU]

four horse men is great

but i was in a bestbuy and saw a "long live the fourhorsemen" cd in the metallica section. i found out (from looking on the back) it was a tribute album

is it good?

[Joe]

i hate tribute albums. they're other bands that wanna be metallica. they play metallica songs and rarely do they sound good.

my opinion is don't buy it

[Joe]

Yeah Am I Evil is probably one the funnest jam songs too...i love that one and Sad But True

sad but true is so much fun to play along with and/or jam to

the part in one, with the alt. picking, is also pretty fun

[btoto]

^Oh, I don't like playing Sad But True. It's so boring, especially if you're the lead guitarist (like me), not the singer :upset:

*wishes he had a nice voice*

[Shred Danson]

Surprisingly, the whole Master of Puppets album is a good album to jam to if you can do death metal growls. I've got a Watch Them Die-type voice, and it goes with "Master of Puppets"...

[btoto]

^man, I hate growling ! what happened to singing????

screams, growls, barks, farts..........does anyone think about normal singing these days???

No offence to you, InColdBlood :thumb:

[Fernandes Power]

^Oh, I don't like playing Sad But True. It's so boring, especially if you're the lead guitarist (like me), not the singer :upset:

*wishes he had a nice voice*

Sad But Trues amazing to play, especially for lead guitarists. Although its stupid to think of your position like that... Play for the band, not for yourself...

Ahhh, you cant murder metallica with death metal vocals...

[Shred Danson]

^man, I hate growling ! what happened to singing????

screams, growls, barks, farts..........does anyone think about normal singing these days???

No offence to you, InColdBlood :thumb:

Oh, none taken, dude. I do do a little singing, but I'm not that great at singing. Growling just fits the music a little better.

[Shred Danson]

Trust me, it sounds OK.

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

Metallica became a crap pop band after ...and justice for all. Everything they've done since is utter bollocks

Well garage inc is good. Good classic thrash and heavy metal.

[Burdcheese]

^^Thanks for that valuable insight

Yeah - I can see that working for all Metallica's up to AJFA actually.

[DisposableHeroes]

Dont worry about that gimp Burdcheese, hes probably just another one of these accounts that some one keeps making 235626 times to try annoy people.

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

i was only stating my opinion

[Burdcheese]

Listen to a Britney spears album then come back here and call Metallica a "crap pop band"

It may only be an opinion, but its the most unenlightened thing I've read all day

[Burdcheese]

Dont worry about that gimp Burdcheese, hes probably just another one of these accounts that some one keeps making 235626 times to try annoy people.

I'm not worried, I just try and keep the thread clear from this kind of nonsense

[DisposableHeroes]

i was only stating my opinion

sorry, its just we get a lot of idiots in here who are the same people, just on different accounts. I apologise as it seems you could be a genuine member

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

Well metallica started to think about their wallets rather than staying true

[give a wolf a home]

Is anybody else not looking forward to the next album as it will be the first time Rob Trujilo will play on an album with them. He's been well broken in with the Summer Sanitarium tour and the world tour afterwords.
Given that he's a finger player and Metallica sound awesome live nowadays with him onstage and that they're fired up by his presence in the band it can only be a good thing.
The bass solo I saw Rob trujilo play in Dublin in June last year was incredible, it sounded like an earth quake going through the big outdoor venue, all slapped and tapped ending in a little bit of the bass solo from orion. Pure Class!!

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

Hopefully their next album will be more metal than what they've played since the black album. An album more in the vein of ride the lightning would be welcomed by me.

[Fernandes Power]

Ummm... that doesnt make sense. First you say youre not looking forward to it, then you say hes amazing...

[DisposableHeroes]

Well metallica started to think about their wallets rather than staying true

Metallica never said they were always going to play thrash, James Hetfield has said since day one they didnt want to be thrash metal.

[Fernandes Power]

Exodus avatar I see (noticed the conjoined babies before the writing :thumb: )

[DisposableHeroes]

Exodus are rather awesome Fernandes, your avatar is pretty neat!

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

Metallica never said they were always going to play thrash, James Hetfield has said since day one they didnt want to be thrash metal.

I never knew that. What does metallica want to play then? because they only changed their style because bob **** made suggestions on how to get more money. Metallica have clearly stated they'd stay true and never sell out.

[DisposableHeroes]

The only thing i've heard that they said they were never gonna do was make a video, which is a pretty stupid thing to say

[Fernandes Power]

Metallica wanted/wants to play Metallica... thats it, thats their genre of music and the answer you will get off Hetfield and co.

I dont think they ever did state that, nor do they believe themselves to ever have sold out...

Edit: Thanks DH :thumb:

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

The only thing i've heard that they said they were never gonna do was make a video, which is a pretty stupid thing to say

At the time it wasn't stupid at all, all the pop acts were doing it and metalheads didn't want to be a part of anything pop.
It doesn't matter so much now though because even a misanthropic band like darkthrone have talked about making a video. (either fenriz or nocturno culto said this during an interview) That if they were to make one it'd be minimal and grim.

[DisposableHeroes]

you have a good point there on the video thing, but as for the Bob Rock thing...well for me its like he says: "anyone whos a proper Metallica fan would know i would not be able to force anything on those guys"(something along those lines anyway) The most Rock probably did was suggest ideas, which is what producers do, they get the full potential out of the band. And produce of course

Fernandes: No problem

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

Oh yeah metallica collaborated with some rapper. enough said

[DisposableHeroes]

your point being? Aerosmith did too, so did Anthrax. Well, bands that rapped

[Burdcheese]

and this rapper would be?

[DisposableHeroes]

i think his name is Swiss Beats, or something along those lines. I think if Metallica really wanted the $$ they would have collaborated with some one incredibly well known

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

your point being? Aerosmith did too, so did Anthrax. Well, bands that rapped

i know but the metallica one screamed nu metal at me.

[fenderbender89]

Anyone know when the next METALLICA album is coming out.
I know on there website they say thier working on it.
But around when is at coming out.

Oh yeah Some Kind of Monster can you rent the movie or can you only buy it from a movie store?
:confused:

[Burdcheese]

I'd imagine you can do both - at least you'll be able to in due course. I can't see it differing from any other DVD release

[DisposableHeroes]

i know but the metallica one screamed nu metal at me.

Well then thats just your taste isnt it, i dont particularly enjoy nu-metal at all either. But its what Metallica wanted to do, they obviously have an interest in it and thats their taste

[fenderbender89]

calm down buddy, they're entering the studio in January 2005 (same time as Slayer)

Thanks I was wondering.

Woah...easy there.

Metallica did a collaboration with Jay-Z (yes, like Linkin Park). But so what, whats wrong with rap and metal. 4 words, Rage Against The Machine... And if you called them commercial sellouts, Timmy. C would kick your head in.

[DisposableHeroes]

hmm, me thinks i shall try the Disposable Heroes solo. Power tab will aid greatly

They want to play music. Is that good enough for you?

[JACKROXYOU]

yea people need to now that rappers need to eat to, metallica has to do something different everyonce and awhile or they would dissappear

never mind

Metal is rebellion, rap is the norm

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

my opinions always seem to be disliked by alot of people lol

probably because not a lot of thought goes into what you say

thats funny i just got bored and start playing the main riff to enter sandman

Thats what they all say. Bake 'em away toys

[Shred Danson]

..."fun" and "don't like" don't mesh together well...so you're saying you like playing something you don't like?

[DisposableHeroes]

the word 'Hypocrite' springs to mind here

[Black_metal_sephiroth]

no, i just started playing it and then i posted that on here

[Shred Danson]

My thought is, why do Metallica bashers bother coming in here? Is it because they think they have something to prove, or just want to piss off a bunch of die-hard 'Tallica bands? Or maybe they just want to argue and argue and argue, even though we've heard basically every arguement as to why Metallica sucks?

[DisposableHeroes]

well most of the time its just some gimp with lots of accounts who uses them to pose as Metallica die-hards or all out haters

[Shred Danson]

Right, well I'm off to Video Production class, talk to you all later...

so any other tribute albums you guys like

[\m/Pete\m/]

Jack that is a pretty good cd you recommended

I've heard the Dark Tranquility and In Flames covers

and Sonata Arctica's cover sounds awesome

[Burdcheese]

I've seen that CD a few times - never thought of getting it.
I have nearly bought the Apocalyptica album on several occasions though. (cheap in Belgium :thumb: )

[munky_magik]

They usually have Metallica - Bay area Thrashers really cheap in Amsterdam airport, I just never have any money when I go through.

[\m/Pete\m/]

its over ah very nice

so any other tribute albums you guys like

I love NIB 2

[give a wolf a home]

Ummm... that doesnt make sense. First you say youre not looking forward to it, then you say hes amazing...

I meant is anybody not looking forward to it as well as me. I am looking forward to it

dream theater's live cover of the whole MOP album was pretty sweet.

[Freezing Moon]

dream theater's live cover of the whole MOP album was pretty sweet.

Really? I haven't heard it, but I heard DT butchered it. If I'm wrong and it's great, I'd really like to hear it.

[scottroberts]

hey everyone,
i get the first post of 2005 lol, Metallica IS the best band of all time. I've heard over 100 of their songs and i loved every single one, i recommend any older Metallica song to anyone to listen to and i bet they would love it.
some of my favs. are: seek and destroy, master of puppets, motor breath, for whom the bell tolls, fade to black, ride the lighting, welcome home(sanitarium), thats some of their old stuff which i perfer more, but their newer stuff is still awesome, anyway, listen to Metallica and you'll become hooked! rock on!

do they really have 100 songs?? they've only had 1 or 2 albums over 10 songs and thats Black and Garage (i dont kno about (re)load)

i don't know about THE best, but they are definitely in the top 2 (i haven't decided about the other one, but they are amazing

[Freezing Moon]

do they really have 100 songs?

They have right around 100, not including live albums (obviously). I have all of it but the second disc of S&M, Garage Inc., and St. Anger and there is 85 songs. Probably very close to 100.

[guitarcreep13]

Lets do the math!

10 Kill em all
8 ride the lightning
8 master or puppets
9 ...And Justice for all
12 black
14 load
13 reload
27 garage inc
2 s&m (New ones)
11 st. Anger
+12 B-sides and runoffs
126

WOW! 126 songs.

If you dont want to count garage inc,
then it's 99

[Burdcheese]

Really? I haven't heard it, but I heard DT butchered it. If I'm wrong and it's great, I'd really like to hear it.

Only the vocals are bad. Musically its great - Petrucci makes it all look frightfully easy :(

[munky_magik]

Only the vocals are bad. Musically its great - Petrucci makes it all look frightfully easy :(

Petrucci makes everything look frightfully easy :(
And yeah....Labrie's voice really doesn't suit Metallica. At all.

[supra_speed]

any1 kno what happened to thrash metal :( . . . . gone?

[munky_magik]

what?

[Burdcheese]

Petrucci makes everything look frightfully easy :(


True

/is jealous

And yeah....Labrie's voice really doesn't suit Metallica. At all.

Well that too, but more in that at that performance it kept faltering. But I've heard that happens to Labrie quite a lot live anyway

[munky_magik]

Well that too, but more in that at that performance it kept faltering. But I've heard that happens to Labrie quite a lot live anyway

he seems to have difficulty projecting his voice and finishing his words when he sings live. And he seems to be constantly outta breath.

[hello.com]

any1 kno what happened to thrash metal :( . . . . gone?

Thrash metal is absolute $hit!!

Soz to be so blunt, but it shows no musical talent, just thrashing as fast a you can on bottom E.....
I think the best is from master of puppets - black album.
Nu metal - don't even get me started!!

[Burdcheese]

^^ *sigh*

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

Hey dudes dream theater plays the most difficult songs, but the metallica are thrashers and thats why i like them. But I still cant say that Ulrich is better than Portnoy

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

10 Kill em all
8 ride the lightning

The songs of Metallica that are really worth are till the Black Album. After the Black Album the most songs sound like newbies songs.

[Burdcheese]

But I still cant say that Ulrich is better than Portnoy

Noone in there right mind will, though I'm totally against Lars being flamed based on ability* - he's good but not the best by a long shot

*OMG - LARZ CRNT KEeP TYM LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!1111"
The number of times I've seen that

[munky_magik]

Every member of DT is better at their respective instruments than everyone in Metallica technicality wise.

[Burdcheese]

How does Munky do it? always saying things that make me want to say "true" (or 123 back in the day)

[munky_magik]

So,

10 Kill'em All
8 Ride the Lightning
8 Master of Puppets
9 ...And Justice for All
12 Black Album
7 Load (Only 7 of 14 I can listen to)
2 Reload(The Unforgiven II and Fuel)
5 Garage Inc.
2 S&M
That makes 63 songs that are really worth.

[Burdcheese]

The truly wise man knows that he knows nothing

[Burdcheese]

So,

10 Kill'em All
8 Ride the Lightning

9 ...And Justice for All

5 Garage Inc.
2 S&M

I could waste an awful lot of time working out how many good songs Metallica have.

Or I could just say no

and you missed St. Anger of your list :p
(see if he can pass the n00b test)

[munky_magik]

So,

What? There is a good band called .....how you say......Me-tall-ica?

Jesus hun, we didnt just all crawl out from under a rock for f*cks sakes.

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

Every member of DT is better at their respective instruments than everyone in Metallica technicality wise.

This is right and also I cant stand how is Hetfield better than Labrie when Hetfield propably cant read notes at all!!! Thats why he cant sing the same notes at live concerts

[Burdcheese]

Hetfield > Labrie live

Labrie is the only weak link in Dream Theater.

Senseless flaming of any member of Metallica is not tolerated in this thread unless you can sure as hell back it up

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

I could waste an awful lot of time working out how many good songs Metallica have.

Or I could just say no

and you missed St. Anger of your list :p
(see if he can pass the n00b test)

If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music. Even the newbies in my country play better songs.

[Burdcheese]

no sir.

You failed the n00b test - you are a n00b/newbie.

[munky_magik]

If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music. Even the newbies in my country play better songs.

so because I like some music from St. Anger, I don't know music?

*promises to leave it after this*

[Burdcheese]

This guy is getting pwned - I'm enjoying this

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

Hetfield > Labrie live

Labrie is the only weak link in Dream Theater.

Senseless flaming of any member of Metallica is not tolerated in this thread unless you can sure as hell back it up

Ok forget about Labrie. Lets see. Petrucci playes at sure better guitar than Hammet. Portnoy is a real drummer I've got nothing else to say. Myung is the best bassist I've ever seen. But even if Metallica aren't good enough, I like them a lot for their old ****. They have tried hard and they succeeded.

[Burdcheese]

^^We've already discussed that.

/wins

[munky_magik]

/wins

I believe that was inevitable:p

[Burdcheese]

But of course...

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

so because I like some music from St. Anger, I don't know music?

*promises to leave it after this*


So, even if I think St. Anger sucks......that will label me as a "n00b" forever more? I might as well go for that tattoo now.

Please dont call me a n00b and Pwn me. I cannot take the agony, how will I explain when I have grandchildren?

*agrees that Metallica are better overall*

[munky_magik]

I didn't call anyone a noob for not liking st anger, I didn't try and pwn you.
I'm sure your grandchildren will understand why I didn't.

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

I just try to see the things exactly as they are.

[munky_magik]

I just try to see the things exactly as they are.

a better statement would be:" I try to see things exactly as they are to me". Things appear differently to different people and it helps to be tollerant of this fact.

[Macdaddy]

i heard drummer from dream theater was first rock drummer (rest have been the jazz greats) to be inducted in the drummer hall of fame. my mate who drums and likes them told me that.

btw who thinks bass parts from metallica are hard? because of the ones i have looked at hell easy. im sure there are some complex ones could someone please suggest them to me.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Hmm.....but burdcheese said this........*and you missed St. Anger of your list
(see if he can pass the n00b test)*

and then when the other guy said saint anger sucks.......

he said this ....*no sir.

You failed the n00b test - you are a n00b/newbie.*

Or have my powers of Columbo like reasoning failed me?

[munky_magik]

your reasoning is fine, it's just that it had nothing to do with me :)

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

Dont tread on me!!!!!!!!
I know my English are too bad munky magic.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

your reasoning is fine, it's just that it had nothing to do with me :)


Good because I'd look proper foolish with this glass eye if I wasn't a brilliant detective.

*note to self: Burdcheese "n00b tests" are dumb.

[Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]

He thinks that what he likes is always good and we must like it too

[Burdcheese]

I shall explain the n00b test to you.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with whether you like St. Anger or not

and you missed St. Anger of your list :p
(see if he can pass the n00b test)

Here the ":p" indicates a joke
If a serious response along the line of:
If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music. Even the newbies in my country play better songs.

is given then, clearly the joke has not been recognised and thus he is a n00b.

The general idea behind this being that pretty much all people dislike St. Anger (and thus aren't going to think there are any good songs on it)

[Shred Danson]

Apparently nobody gets humor...

[Burdcheese]

Alas so it seems

[btoto]

If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music. Even the newbies in my country play better songs.

I like Frantic, Dirty Window, St.Anger, Invisible Kid and Unnamed Feeling. So? That means I don't know music???? :evil:

Ok, let's do this one: You give me link to bandpages of newbies in your country and if I like their songs more that those I listed, I'll admit that you zwned me. deal jacka$$??? :evil:

[JonG]

IMO Fade To Black is there only good song.

[Fernandes Power]

You listened to much?

[DisposableHeroes]

If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music.

Stupidest thing i've heard today, by far

[Shred Danson]

Stupidest thing i've heard today, by far

That comment by that guy actually made me laugh. Whether it was intended to, I do not know.

[DisposableHeroes]

Can anyone here actually play the RTL solo? The finger stretch..beats me man

[munky_magik]

what is the stretch?

[DisposableHeroes]

its from 12-9-5 i think, tapped

[munky_magik]

it's not that bad, A 12-9-5 strech is hard

[DisposableHeroes]

its just going from the 9 to the 5

[Joe]

Can anyone here actually play the RTL solo? The finger stretch..beats me man

its really not that bad. on the 5 use your index on 9 use pinky. if you have small hands then either too bad or keep stretchin

that and the part right after i can play.

[DisposableHeroes]

sweet

I was learning a couple of Metallica solos but i've been putting them off like f*ck, haha

[Joe]

sweet

I was learning a couple of Metallica solos but i've been putting them off like f*ck, haha

well i haven't quite got the quick picking yet, thats why i can't do puppets

i can do all of fade to black, sandman, and nothing else matters. i can do most of one, most of puppets, and some of RTL. i can almost do ktulu and orion and saniterium

[Shred Danson]

sweet

I was learning a couple of Metallica solos but i've been putting them off like f*ck, haha

haha that's exactly what I did when I started...

[Mister_Che]

haha that's exactly what I did when I started...

Same here, but I'm working on Fade to Black, The Unforgiven, and One. I'll get them down if it's the last thing I do.

[JACKROXYOU]

i'm working on seek and destroy

[Burdcheese]

I'm working on Nothing Else Matters and Sanitarium on guitar and One on drums

[Mister_Che]

I'm working on Nothing Else Matters and Sanitarium on guitar and One on drums

Nothing Else Matters isn't too hard so I'm sure you'll get it down soon. Same deal with Sanitarium. I learned them both in a week. No lie. :wave:

[jaymz_is_god]

I can't play solos. My fingers are too stubby for it :upset:

[JACKROXYOU]

yea welcome home was a really easy song

nothing else matters solo is so satisfing

[Mister_Che]

Yup, I think knowing them both was satisfying for me as well. Nothing like adding a new song to your repertoire.

[ironsandman32]

hey how do you get those cool avatars? I try on that profile page and it doesn't let me pick what one i want

just for the heck of it, i am just starting to learn the call of ktulu(just to stay on topic)

i feel bad for mr James is god

Don't feel bad, he'll cope.

As for the Avatar, find an Avatar, right-click, then click properties. Copy the URL and paste it in the blank provided.

Call of Ktulu, good choice.

[Joe]

i'm working on seek and destroy

nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos

[Freezing Moon]

nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos

The solo is easy ****.

Can anyone here actually play the RTL solo? The finger stretch..beats me man

Yeah, I can play it. I haven't done it in a long time, so I probably forgot though... :upset:

[JACKROXYOU]

nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos


yea most solos i dont touch

except
one
nothing else matters
master of puppets

[ThrashMaster27]

I don't think the Master of Puppets solo is that hard to play. Aside from that bit where Kirk fell off the **** Fretboard...it's a solo that sounds impressive but isn't too difficult to play.

[JACKROXYOU]

thats why i know it :lol:

[Freezing Moon]

I usually try the solo, learn it, do it until I get it, then not play it for a long time and forget it. :upset:
