Buy it then, cheapskate.

[metal_milita]

Buy it then, cheapskate.

alas, tis my dearest parents that think metallica is sent from satan to bring hell on earth through booze and metal (at least the 80's anyways).

funny part is that sounds pretty true.

But i am not ALLOWED to buy it. Im just wondering if thats the way the file is, or if i just downlaoded a corrupt one?

Ha, that sucks for you man. Nah, I wouldn't know, never downloaded it myself.

[Metal_David]

I've bought a Cort X-6 and a Kustom Dual 35 DFX amp a couple of days ago. It's my first guitar and I really want to learn to play guitar, and especially Metallica.

Now I've tried to get that crunchy Metallica sound out of this amp (full distortion, high bass, very low mid and medium/high High) but I don't seem to be able to get anything more than a heavy rock feeling out of the amp.

Now my question is...is this a known factor with this amp ? And would I be able to get that crunchy Metallica sound (MoP/ AJFA era) with a Boss MT2 metalzone pedal ?

Thanks in advance

Oh yeah, I'm new here :)

First off, welcome to the forums.
Secondly, I know this question is kinda Metallica related but for more guitar orientated questions try visiting the guitar forum.

But the MT2 should help to get a crunchy/scooped sound, but try going to a guitar shop and trying it out to see if it has the sound you want.

[Termiitos]

Well, I started to find any Kirk Hammett related topics and then i discovered this musicianforums and also I discovered Metallica Official thread. I must admit, I really LOVE Metallica from Kill em' All to St. Anger, tough St.Anger is kinda phatetic lol...
well anyway, I started reading this thread and when i finally got onto th page 30 I started to wonder how long is this thread anyway? And I was kinda stunned when i realized Its over 400 pages :rolleyes:
Here are my statements:

Current band members in order of priority ( IMO)
Kirk
Jaimz
Lars
Rob
I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of Kirk Hammett and I like absolutely everything about him.
I saw someone saying that Rob looks like a Donkey Kong when playing and i kinda agree with that lol :lol:

Kk, best songs (not in order of priority):
Master Of Puppets
The Unforgiven II (lead me to Metallica)
One
Sanitarium
Whiskey In the Jar
Fade to Black
Seek and Destroy
For Whom the Bell tolls
Ride the Lighting
Creeping Death
Battery
Enter Sandman.


Best Album...hmm...I think they are all good but...hmm..the black Album...and Ride the Lightning and Master Of Puppets are equal...but again, it's just IMO..

Kirk Hammet rules!
Long live Metallica. :thumb:

[Burdcheese]

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:

I don't doubt you - its just you're probably a lot better than me :thumb:
I'm really quite poor at this guitar thing...

[btoto]

I recommend learning the unforgiven I solo. It's very easy, I learned the whole song in about 2 hours.

[Burdcheese]

I'll give that a go - It looks a lot easier than some of the stuff I've tried

[i_love_my_epiphone]

unforgiven 1 dont look to hard, i think ill give it go maybe i can get my first solo down

[Joe]

unforgiven 1 dont look to hard, i think ill give it go maybe i can get my first solo down

yea it doesn't look all that bad. it's one of my favorite solos

the only hard thing about it looks like going from low on the fretboard to pretty high in like a hundreth of a second and i can't quite do that yet...

[Joe]

yea most solos i dont touch

except
one
nothing else matters
master of puppets

learn fade to black. it's really not that hard. i cant do that hammers and bends right at the beginning that he uses the wah pedal on live, but the rest is really simple

[btoto]

^hehe, I can already do all that bends and hammers at the begining. The only part that bugs me in that solo is to finish it (it fades out). I guess I'll copy it from Cunning Stunts version :)

[Joe]

^hehe, I can already do all that bends and hammers at the begining. The only part that bugs me in that solo is to finish it (it fades out). I guess I'll copy it from Cunning Stunts version :)

i haven't tried the last part after he starts going back down the fretboard. the bends and hammers piss me off. my fingers aren't quite fast enough. i can do it with a wah easily, just not distorted and with no effects

[Shred Danson]

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.

I know all those solos, plus all the MOP and Kill em All solos, but after that, I just got lazy :lol:

[Joe]

I know all those solos, plus all the MOP and Kill em All solos, but after that, I just got lazy :lol:

...you suck...

[Shred Danson]

...you suck...

Yeah, thanks for telling me that.

[Joe]

Yeah, thanks for telling me that.

lol, no prob. im currently learnin some stuff off the black album and kill 'em all

[Shred Danson]

lol, no prob. im currently learnin some stuff off the black album and kill 'em all

Dude, learn the first solo to the Four Horsemen. That solo is orgasmic.

[Joe]

Dude, learn the first solo to the Four Horsemen. That solo is orgasmic.

haha, never tried it. im working on seek and destroy

[Shred Danson]

haha, never tried it. im working on seek and destroy

Does your guitar have 24 frets?

[DisposableHeroes]

Thats one reason i cant learn the Blackened solo, 24 frets. My guitar has 22

[btoto]

i haven't tried the last part after he starts going back down the fretboard. the bends and hammers piss me off. my fingers aren't quite fast enough. i can do it with a wah easily, just not distorted and with no effects

Yeah that took me a while to learn. But right now I'm working in KEA solos. They're f*cking hard. I can play only:

1. The 4 Horsemen (both (for second I play Mechanix version))
2. Jump In The Fire (1st little and second)
3. No Remorse (second)
4. Seek And Destroy (3rd from 4 solos)

Plus I'm almost finishing whole Phantom Lord.

I don't have a wah pedal so I haven't tried Motorbreath and first from No Remorse.


I've been working on Metal Militia for so long. That hammer-pull parts in the begining are kind of confusing.....I want to learn it so much :upset:

[Shred Danson]

Thats one reason i cant learn the Blackened solo, 24 frets. My guitar has 22

Yeah, ain't it a bitch?

[DisposableHeroes]

Darn Tootin'

Second solo in Four Horsemen i have no excuse for, apart from pure laziness

[Shred Danson]

Darn Tootin'

Second solo in Four Horsemen i have no excuse for, apart from pure laziness

Yeah, after a while, I just put off the Metallica songs and practice my own stuff; My band isn't a Metallica cover band, ya know? :lol:

[DisposableHeroes]

I have all these riffs but i really need other musicians, i want a full band

[Shred Danson]

I have all these riffs but i really need other musicians, i want a full band

Get out there and look! I'm going to weight training, so see you all in about an hour. Later...

[fenderbender89]

Live Sh*t binge and purge.

I was thinking of buying it. DVD of course :thumb:

I was wondering if the 3 cds from mexico city are good quality.
like if you can hear the music good.
i know there good I just want to hear what you think of it?

[DisposableHeroes]

I havent actually listened to those CD's, i just watch the DVD's. But i would guess they are good quality

[^Dream~Theater^]

their good

[Shred Danson]

..Why do I hear old NES Duck Hunt sounds on my computer whenever I go on this site?...

[benfan]

dude the cd's from binge and purge are awsesome the only thing i dont like about the boxset is the way the dvd's are filmes, its kinda like he shake's the camares around to much, well i dont no how to explain it but watch it and you will see what i mean. cunning stunts rules

[Thrash_The_Sabbath]

When do you think they're next album 'll come out???
I heard next summer

[munky_magik]

..Why do I hear old NES Duck Hunt sounds on my computer whenever I go on this site?...

It's some kind of advert.

[Burdcheese]

I finally got round to ordering the S&M DVD.
Hurrah for me and for amazon marketplace - supplier of cheap stuff

[White_Rabbit666]

Seek And Destroy off Live **** is brilliant.

[DisposableHeroes]

I finally got round to ordering the S&M DVD.
Hurrah for me and for amazon marketplace - supplier of cheap stuff

I hear ya, i got Voivod - Killing Technology for 1p. Yes seriously, 0.01

[Burdcheese]

I got a book for 1p a while back - I have a suspicion it was stolen from a library...

[DisposableHeroes]

I have a suspicion my album was used as a toilet

In all honesty its in great condition

[Mister_Che]

I don't trust Ebay, sorry. I searched for a collectible Batman figure for my collection and it went for $500. Needless to say, the comic book guys I go to found one within a week and are selling it to me for $30.



I wonder if the can find a full size stadium for me to buy for a cheap price. If they could find Batman, they can find a colosseum...

[Mister_Che]

Umm, next topic:

When you talk to people in school about Metallica, and you mention a song like Leper Messiah only to see a fanboy look at you like you made up the name, what do you say?

kid: Hey what are you listening to?
Me: Metallica.
kid: AWESOME!! What song?
Me: The Thing That Should Not Be.
kid: What, man you made that up. Lemme hear.
*listens in
kid: Man that ain't Metallica, that doesn't even sound like Kirk.
Me: Kirk?
kid: Yeah the lead singer dumbas.s!

[Burdcheese]

I'm lending my friend MOP next week - hopefully indoctrinate him into Metallica and then metal in general

[^Dream~Theater^]

People always just know metallica as the guys who play enter sandman at my school :angry:

[Mister_Che]

Atta boy. You sir, are a good man.

I will murder your school... Unless I shouldn't. :wave:

[^Dream~Theater^]

Thing that bothers me the most is that Metallica finally came around here and i was waiting about 5 years to see them right? Then you have all these preps who never listened to metallica before that went to the show and they get back sportin tallica gear and sayin how hardcore their into them and all this.
Posers piss me off!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, no one in my school has heard eny Metallica outside St. Anger. You can imagine what they think about them.

lol well, what do you expect? They're posers! :naughty:

btw I hate that too so you're not the only one. :rolleyes:

Felt like i needed a rant;)

[Mister_Che]

Felt like i needed a rant;)

We all do, the posers just pop up everywhere with their "loyal" following. They have no idea that there are songs outside of Master of Puppets.

[Burdcheese]

I've never really encountered these Metallica posers you all speak of...

... and for that I am truly grateful

[Mister_Che]

I. ENVY. YOU. :upset:

[ironsandman32]

hey i just bought a line 6 spider 2 amp and in the manual it says one of the channels models a Mesa Dual Rectifier and i later found that metallica uses that same amp!

about those posers, KILL 'EM ALL!!! :lol:

[ytsedrummer]

People at my school like new Metallica and always brag about how good St Anger and Enter Sandman is, when they haven't even heard old Metallica, and probably won't like it when they hear it and won't see the talent Metallica has and how creative their albums truely are. These guys at my school listen to ****ty Nu- Metal and then say how good Metallica is and they still listen to Good Charlotte and Simple Plan. They don't even know what music is for Christ sake. Everybody at my school just like the music that's POPULAR*cough for the moment*They don't get open minded about their music. They wouldn't enjoy Dream Theater,(My favourite band which I have tried to get so many people into but they just don't open their ears and try something new)
Me and my best friends Steve and Paul are the only ones in the school who are actually open minded about music. We are big Metallica fans (not sure how much Steve likes them though) and we try to get others into older Meatllica but all they like is the songs that Metallica is known for along with other famous songs by good bands like Fear Factory, only song they actually know is Cyber Waste, and they think Fear Factory is some new band when they have actually been around for almost 15 years, same thing goes for Metallica. Sorry for ranting for so long, its just that posers piss me off so much.

[ytsedrummer]

I've never really encountered these Metallica posers you all speak of...

... and for that I am truly grateful
How the hell can you not encounter them? They're everywhere! They're friggin invasion for Christ sake!

[no_talent]

They're everywhere! They're friggin invasion for Christ sake!

They are everywhere, and if there is one group of people I'd like to slaughter, it'd be them. But I guess we'll just have to live life normally... and just accept the fact that true Metallica fans are slowly dying out. *kills self*

[Joe]

We all do, the posers just pop up everywhere with their "loyal" following. They have no idea that there are songs outside of Master of Puppets.

na the posers like sandman.
i don't kno any posers either, thank god

[btoto]

BTW, does anyone know of any unreleased songs or b-sides by 'tallica???

I never heard anything about them.

[ytsedrummer]

I think that stuff is on an out of print tape called No Life Till Leather but also includes an early version of Hit The Lights. Try E- Bay.

[Fernandes Power]

'Mouldy'-Original Hero of the Day. Its on the Hero of the Day single.

And on the Japanese Outlaw Torn single, it has the full Outlaw Torn

'Breadfan'-Cover of a song by Budgie, B-Side of Eye of the Beholder

'Stone Cold Crazy'-Queen cover on the Enter Sandman B-Side I think...

[ytsedrummer]

That works too.

[Joe]

hm, never heard any of those

[Joe]

Yup, no one in my school has heard eny Metallica outside St. Anger. You can imagine what they think about them.


i feel so bad for you...i hang around people who own all metallica cd's and even some vinyls :thumb: and then some who only like st anger and sandman :confused:

[RiceMonster]

People who are judge Metallica on St. Anger and Enter Sandman have to get out more. Metallica is a very popular band, even their old stuff. You would think they'd have at least heard Master of Puppets.

[Joe]

[scrilly]

No Life 'til Leather is a tape of Metallica demos, no covers. Hit the Lights, The Mechanix (early version of The Four Horsemen, Megadeth still play it), Motorbreath, Jump in the Fire, Seek & Destroy, Metal Milita, Phantom Lord.

[Joe]

Does your guitar have 24 frets?

my jackson has 24 frets, but the bending doesn't sound great.

[Bloody Knives]

I must say that my mom bought the Black Album and she played it in the car when I was like 6 that album changed me and after that I bought all the Metallica album that were out and bought all the albums that came out after that. Metallica got me into music and playing guitar bass and drums. Without Metallica I don't know who I would be. and yes I hate all those **** poser. they say "Saint Anger was the greatest album ever." well the crap they listen to it maybe and don't get me wrong the Saint Anger Album was good but for Metallica is was ****. People say that Enter the Sandman was the best song ever but for some reason I just can't like it.

Metallica's style is just to off right now. They need to fing there trueself and play like they did before the Black Album.

[ytsedrummer]

or nothing else matters or ride the lightning or seek and destroy or for whom the bell tolls. those are all on the radio too
Let's not forget the Unforgivin, Until It Sleeps, Fuel and I Dissapear.

[zombiedruid]

Yeah slaughter and rape all those retards who say they like metallica but don't know **** about them or the metal music scene in general....

im just SO glad that they don't disturb the kings PANTERA....

[willis2441]

i forget completely. i just did it a few days ago and now i can't find it. sorry

[Joe]

well im talking about songs everyone should kno. yes, fuel is one of them

[willis2441]

im a hardcore metallica fan and ive never heard "whiskey in the jar" or " i dissapear". this saddens me greatly.

[guitarcreep13]

"Master,
Master!"
Everybody I gave Met cds to (Mostly rap lovers) hated the first 4 albums cause hetfield's voice was too "awful" and "Bad" and "High like a 6-year-old girl!"

that was when hetfield was in his prime man!!! his best voice was in and justice for all. hes losin his voice now.hes still good though. :thumb:

[guitarcreep13]

I agree.


now, this is way gonna sound stupid, but what's
n00b nean?
I see it all the time in this tread.

[willis2441]

im a drummer, and most of you people are guitarists.but from metallicas lars ulrich, the only songs i cant play are: dyers eve,fight fire with fire,st. anger,and damage inc. the only thing i dont like about lars' drumming is that he has no accentation on his hats.that bothers me.

[willis2441]

I'm working on Nothing Else Matters and Sanitarium on guitar and One on drums
i can play one on drums. i actually have to start playing to do the double bass though.

[willis2441]

If you like any Song of St Anger you dont know music. Even the newbies in my country play better songs.
thats just your stupid little closed-minded opinion.in that statement, you judge practically everyone who likes metallica.i like st. anger and kill em' all. keep your closed minded opinion to yourself so i dont have to write this much.

[JACKROXYOU]

I agree.

[hammet_ownz]

id buy saint anger. nut i dont know if i was doing my money justice. sure, it had some beauties (title, unnamed feeling, invisible kid), but if given the choice i just couldnt go past ride the lightning. for whom the bell tolls set the bar for bassline ingenuity in the 80's, and the various stages of style in fade to black are still reknowned in worldwide metal circles. without a doubt, no band can emulate what metallica did between their early work and their early 90 music. going from arguable the hardest band to rock the early 80's metal scene, to a band that got themselves on to mainstream radio just by music that came from the head, rather from the alcohol induced insanity that the earlier, better alubums seemed to be written with. there are few bands that really grab a metal fan by the heartstrings, but the moment that cemeted my fanatacism for the four horseman was on the DVD Cunning Stunts, listening to [/I]Nothing Else Matters[I] hearing the crescendo of sound and the build up of, yeah, yeah , yeaaahhhhhhh then the explosion of Hetfields solo and watching the feeling that he put out in it, words do not start to describe.

Long F***ing live metallica

[hammet_ownz]

also, i went into a music shop in the town i live in, (i live on that little island on the bottom of australia) and i ask about live ****, and the girl (who was **** fine) tells me that it will cost me 40 dollars deposit to get it sent from the USA, and after that it will be 240 dollars australian! fook. not a happy fan, but with exclusivity like that, makes me want to get it more. how dear is it for you guys over in the states?

I agree, the same was with me..I was seven when my dad bought Metallica Cd-s and videos and since that I really love Metallica....well I didn't start to like em right away but U could kinda say i grew up with em...thatnks to Kirk Hammett I play guitar now, 'cause he inspired me.
I once had a situation when my friend came and i had this burned Metallica disk where I had a couple if songs from St. Anger but mostly from older Cd s .
then she asked me what disc is it I said."It's Metallica's" then she was excited, oh play that, I want to hear St.Anger, it's the greatest song ever...I played that to her and after St.Anger came "Ride the Lightning" she was like:"Ewww what band is this?? I hate that kind of music, put Metallica back!"
After I told her it's Metallica, she hates it. ;) :rolleyes:

Hetfields voice:
The timeline-
Kill em All
Ride the lightning = Definitley not the voice of a budding lumberjack, slightly higher than nowadays but did have an excellent punk rock gravel scream quality, maybe a bit like beavis, but down a few notches, and singin about death and stuff rather than his weiner.

Master of puppets
And Justice for all = Playing all those arenas, and with certain 'changes' he started to notice about himself in the shower, the tough hetfield has started to emerge.

Metallica
Load
Reload
S+M = Hetfield now has a near pitch perfect voice on album and live. With all those pies he ate with bob rock he's got a much deeper voice now. Also pleasing to note that live performances are peppered with "YEE-AAHHH!", "BE-BAAYYY!" and surley the mark of one of the greatest frontmen of all time, "OOOOHH!!!"

King Nothing

hmmm, it would appear the solos in Unforgiven kick an ample amount of arse

[Burdcheese]

Got the S&M DVD today. OMG How awesome is this?

[btoto]

BTW, someone said about that No Life Till Leather Demo. I have all songs already from it except Metal Militia, plus Motorbreath is half-cut. And it does NOT isnclude No Remorse and Whiplash. I guess they were released in late 82. Oh there are rumours that 'tallica recorded lots of covers in early days in Ron's garage plus a few of their own songs which were not the exact versions of those we hear on KEA.

Hmmmmm, I'd like to hear that. Lars is a cunning biatch ! Please Mr. Ulrich release those demos :p

Just for record, on NLTL James sounds as a tortured Raptor (dinosaur) baby. Dave plays very good though :wave:

[btoto]

^^ Oh Burdcheese, awesome choice ! Congrats ! :thumb:

Although I haven't watched whole of that :upset:

[DisposableHeroes]

Is their cover of Let It Loose on the No Life 'Til Leather demo?

[btoto]

^I don't have Let it Loose, but I guess the recorded it plus Sucking My Love on that tape.

[DisposableHeroes]

I downloaded it, it was recorded in Ron's garage i think

[btoto]

^You kidding right????

Where did you download that? Please do a favour to a 'tallica fan :p

[DisposableHeroes]

http://www.metallicaworld.co.uk/music_downloads.htm

There you go buddy, just scroll down till ya see Let It Loose

[btoto]

Thanks man, the 4 horsemen will not forget you :thumb: :p

[DisposableHeroes]

Did you download the first ever live recording of Dyer's Eve too? I know i did :p

[btoto]

BTW, if you want those NLTL songs, download them from Limewire. You can also find there a live 1982 version of Hit The Lights with a horrible quality (however it's a very very very rare thing), Motorbreath live from 1983 with Dave on vocals and video concert of Metallica 1983/03 at the Stone SF with Dave on lead guitar (whole concert is 302 MGB).

[DisposableHeroes]

I used to have Limewire, but for some reason now it keeps screwing up. I use winMX however, am i likely to find them on there?

[btoto]

Yeah I got Dyers Eve and Trapped Under Ice last year.

[DisposableHeroes]

I feel sorry for Ron, he was the guy paying for hotel rooms and driving them to practice and they all got worked up with him like he was doing something wrong

[btoto]

Oh, I don't know about winMX......unfortunately

Yeah, I feel sorry about Ron too. That's kind of weird, I know we won't have 'tallica the way they are without Cliff but that kind of attitude always pis$es you off. Ron was OK and after some time he'd probably improve his skills but they just said goodbye to him. It's unfair. I mean, like the rhythm guitar/vocalist guy in my band.......he sings very good but he screws up everthing on guitar. However I think I won't ask him to leave because we started this whole thing together. I'll give a chance, if I loose my patience I'll leave myself.

They treated bad towards Ron :evil: :upset:

[willis2441]

i know this is gonna sound stupid, but why did dave mustaine leave metallica? i was just wondering.

[Joe]

i know this is gonna sound stupid, but why did dave mustaine leave metallica? i was just wondering.

he didn't leave, he was thrown out. i heard somewhere james said it was "drug problems" but it's probably just because of an arguement or they just didn't like him

[Joe]

Got the S&M DVD today. OMG How awesome is this?

i got Live Sh*t, it's pretty awesome

IMO, Live Sh*t > S&M

[willis2441]

i got Live Sh*t, it's pretty awesome

oh yeah, i think i remember hearing something about dave being a crack-addict or something. but if dave were still in the band, who do you think would be the singer,since mustaine is the singer for megadeth.

[Joe]

oh yeah, i think i remember hearing something about dave being a crack-addict or something. but if dave were still in the band, who do you think would be the singer,since mustaine is the singer for megadeth.

i like james better than dave, so i hope he wouldn't be. i also don't think metallica would be anywhere near as big if dave were still there

but no advertising plz

[Leper]

Hey JackRoxyou, what tipped you off that metallica might be comin out with a new album next year? Just curious- like did you hear this somewhere or are you just assuming/hoping? Anyways, in the event that they do come out with a new album next year...lets all hope it's nothing like St. Anger! Hopefully all their recent touring, and playing mostly the classics in doing so, has reminded them of how they used to thrash when Cliff was still there... :upset:...

[Burdcheese]

thanks?

but no advertising plz

Linking to wikipedia is hardly advertising. Lots of good info there.

[Burdcheese]

Hey JackRoxyou, what tipped you off that metallica might be comin out with a new album next year? Just curious- like did you hear this somewhere or are you just assuming/hoping?

They've been talking about it for ages. Also it says that they're currently in the studio on their website. Have a look through this thread - its all in here somewhere

[hammet_ownz]

i heard the new album is gunna be a return to their roots, sort of black - justice feel. also, from an interview with lars i read on the metallicasite, it is gunna, have some huge bassline innovation from robert (pops, slaps). dunno if they are for real though, but a bit of innovation in bass would be good, a nice change from all of jason's sliding techniques.

[Chu]

All the information I could find on the site about them being in a studio was from St. Anger....

[Joe]

All the information I could find on the site about them being in a studio was from St. Anger....

i really hope their new album is either similar to black and previous, or something like a greatest hits album, because i don't want another st. anger

[DisposableHeroes]

Its most likely not going to be a St.Anger repeat

[Joe]

well you never know, it sold a lot of albums because everyone expected a garage inc or a black album. i hope it's not a stanger repeat

[Shazzam]

Metallica blows

jk

[DisposableHeroes]

You've got to think about certain things though, for example no Metallica album sounds the same, and that the band must have acknowledged what fans thought because their setlists were made up almost entirely of the classic stuff

[Joe]

true, but they're 80's stuff was a bit similar, but amazing

i'm actually pretty optimistic, on the MIAWTW tour, they played mostly stuff from the 80's. i heard 3 black album songs (NEM, ES, SBT) and about 10-15 songs pre-black album. they played fuel, i think that was the only post-black album song... so maybe this album will be more like the older things

[DisposableHeroes]

I hope it is, i mean i dont mind throwing in a song or two off St.Anger in the set

[resist refuse]

U think metallica will release a new album after St Anger? All their albums post 1991 r crap (that's my opinion). Their best r the ones in the 80's: kill em all, ride the lightning, puppets,justice. i hope they produce a good album if they're going to n go back to their 1980's style.

I don't know, seeing 4 ~40 year olds trying to still play thrash metal doesn't sound like a good combo. Its not that they won't be able to play thrash metal, but they can't create it anymore. All of their riffs post 91 have so bluesy or soft rock feel to them. I'd prefer them playing whatever they want, something different hopefully. It'll keep the 20 year old chain going of them releasing a different album everytime. But if they EVER experiment with country or punk music, I will hunt them down and cut them :evil: .

They're going back into the studio around Jan/Feb apparently. New album is meant to have a more thrashy sound. This was discussed a few pages back

well they're concerts are pretty good. they would just need some major help to get the voices back to like old times. all their more recent riffs are softer, but they're still pretty amazing. there are never going to be any more riffs like seek and destroy or one or puppets ever again out of metallica, but maybe itll still kick ***

[Locks]

Metallica have lost so much since the early records. St. Anger was pretty terrible, although the rest of the newer albums are pretty good (different style than the likes of Master of Puppets and Ride The Lightning, but still good). They're missing the incredible pace and thrashy style (Battery, Master of Puppets, Fight Fire With Fire, Hit The Lights to name a few are good examples of what I'm getting at). About the closest thing to thrash thats post-black album/self titled is Fuel (which, don't get me wrong, is a good song). Anyways, nuff of my ranting bollocks.

To clear up something, Whiskey In The Jar is a cover of the Thin Lizzy song.

One last thing: Bring back the solo's!!!!!!!! I demand to hear more Hammet.

You guys need to relax. Mama Said is an awesome song. It's not just a simple kill/fvck/smash everyone song. It is deeper. Maybe that's the reason most of you don't understand that song.

Some people here need to grow up :upset:

[Thrash_The_Sabbath]

I liked Mama Said, the fact of the matter is that Metallica is no longer a thrash band, even though everyone wants them to be. Finally, they are one of the best metal bands out there, will continue to change, and this is a perfect example

Its well produced
There are guitar solos
It sounds awesome live.

[Leper]

Thank u guys sooo much for bringing up the lack of solos on St. Anger! It was so empty without Kirk's guitar solos--sounded more like Korn or some crap like that.

[Access Excess]

First of all, solos on some of the tracks off St. Anger wouldn't really fit IMHO. I don't mind the lack of solos so much but I hope that on the next record we'll have a ballad and/or an instrumental. The thing is all previous instrumentals had something to do with Cliff, they were either (co-)written by him or in his memory so I think asking for an instrumental is far-fetched (let's not forget their refusal to make My Friend Of Misery one), but at least a ballad to see if they still got it.

[Rasta Rocker]

i think a return to the thrash metal that they helped create would be a huge come back, it would definately make up for st anger.

[Leper]

I kinda wish they'd release the "Elevator version" of NEM on an album. Some may think it's corny to kind of re-release a song, but i'd really like to have that version on an album.

[Leper]

[QUOTE]i think a return to the thrash metal that they helped create would be a huge come back, it would definately make up for st anger.[QUOTE]

I think St. Anger WAS an attempted return to thrash metal that failed miserably.

[munky_magik]

Interesting thought...If Metallica go back to Thrash people will probaly say they sold out. If they continue along their present course people will still say they sold out

[Mister_Che]

Actually, only the posers would say they've sold out if they return to thrash.

[Kardi The Lobet]

Just saw this thread...Today in Liverpool, I bought a sweet shirt With Metallica on it...They were in Cartoon Form...Rocking out with the ONE AND ONLY SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS AND PATRICK THE STARFISH...thought id tell you...

[jaymz_is_god]

How can they sell out if they return to thrash? It makes no sense :confused: I can't see them returning to thrash with their new album. I think they'll have the same kinda sound as they had in the late 90's (ie. No Leaf Clover, Minus Human, I Disappear).

[munky_magik]

well the majority of their fans wish they would return to thrash, so if they do it to please their fans it would constitute a definition of selling out.

[Mister_Che]

Unless THEY want to return to thrash. :)

[munky_magik]

Unless THEY want to return to thrash. :)

that is of course one of the problems with declaring a band sold out. No one actualy know their personal reasons for doing so, thus they can't really say **** about it.

[Mister_Che]

Umm, next topic, Hmm....

Who has better guitars (aestheticaly), James or Kirk?






Sorry, just bored...

[guitarded_chuck]

Just to clear up on thing for all/most Metallica fans, a good song does *NOT* need a guitar solo. I have always found that Metallica fans worship their solo, and think any song without one is crap.

Not that I don't like Metallica. Master of Puppets is an amazing album. The Four Horseman, Leper Messiah, Orion and ...And Justice For All are my fav songs.

Just to clear up on thing for all/most Metallica fans, a good song does *NOT* need a guitar solo. I have always found that Metallica fans worship their solo, and think any song without one is crap.

There's barely any metallica songs without solo's.

I love 80s metallica and have the tab book form Rid the Lightning and was just wondering what other songs I could pick up quickly and learn. I really like getting into the songs when I play them!

Kill 'em All
- Seek and Destroy
- Four Horsemen
- Whiplash

Ride the Lightning (If you have the book, learn them all)
- Call of Ktulu
- Creeping Death
- For Whom the Bell Tolls or Ride the Lightning
- Fade to Black

Master of Puppets
- Master of Puppets
- Battery
- Damage Inc.

...And Justice for All
- Blackened
- Eye of the Beholder
- One

Those are just my suggestions, take them for what they're worth. Those are my favorite songs to play off of each cd up to the Black Album (which I do not like very much).
