Metallica Inc.

[Joe]

The drummer of my ex-band assured me he saw lars use an electric kit on the One video.

I've seen it once, I don't remember seeing an electric kit. And why would he use it? They don't use that audio anyways, they use the cd recording

[Mister_Che]

I've seen it once, I don't remember seeing an electric kit. And why would he use it? They don't use that audio anyways, they use the cd recording

Exactly my point, why would Lars or Alex Van Halen use electric drums? God that kid is such a pretentious little ***.

[bball_1523]

The drummer of my ex-band assured me he saw lars use an electric kit on the One video.

in all, Lars uses an acoustic kit, not sure about the one video, but it is probably acoustic. Electric kits have small drum heads, and stuff.

[^Dream~Theater^]

But that's kinda over now isn't it? Didn't Mustaine apologize for everything?
How legit was his apology? He was supposed to be honoring Dimebag and he took the time instead to patch things up with Metallica, which I think he took advantage of the situation for the wrong reasons. You shouldn't need for something like that to happen before you just have a "change of heart"

[Joe]

Exactly my point, why would Lars or Alex Van Halen use electric drums? God that kid is such a pretentious little ***.

And Lars believes in the truth and real music a lot (truth-suing napster), so why would he ever use an electric set over a real drumset?

[willis2441]

Well it was a big time for metal people. It was an event that slit the metal world pretty badly. It had an impact on the metal world like 9/11 did on the world (not trying to blow it out of proprotion, but that's kinda what i think). It was just a time where everyone was coming together, regardless

[metallica_child_666]

but if u watch the some kind of monster dvd, u c dave mustaine n lars ulrich patching things up there and also lars doesnt use an elctric drum kit, ive seen the one video tons of times and neva hav i been convinced that it was an electric kit, 100% acoustic

[willis2441]

if dave mustaine was still in metallica,(thru the master of puppets era)do you think he would have died in that bus accident like cliff did?would he be singing,playing lead or rythim(its spelled wrong i kno)would james even be playing rythim?or would kirk?

[Joe]

yea that's what i was talking about, since st anger. because SKOM is about the recording of st anger and the hardships between the band, when they were recording that set wasn't electric

Just saying why hasn't he apologized before? He waited for a moment so he would look like the good guy. If he really wanted things patched up with them, then he wouldnt have waited until then.

it all depends who got the top bunk in the tour bus about who wood hav died, cliff n kirk were fighting ova who gets the top bunk in the bus and cliff won so it cood hav been kirk who'd die, also id say dave wood hav dun solos, hes a betta guitarist than he is a singer

[munky_magik]

You've got to remember that this is incredibly hard for him.
And when Dimebag died he pushed those feelings aside and reached out.
Dimebag's death was effectively a catalyst in the healing process for him.

[metallica_child_666]

i dunno bout since st anger but i was goin on bout wen sum1 sed bout wen lars performed in the one vid, he definatley doesnt use an elctric drum kit then

[^Dream~Theater^]

Possibly Munky. No one knows the truth except Dave.

[ropperic]

You all are on C R A C K metallica is one of the worst bands and should've quit while they had the chance. The solos arent getting any better. hint hint. they freakin sound the same. id rathe listen to good charlotte before mettalica.

[Burdcheese]

Just saying why hasn't he apologized before? He waited for a moment so he would look like the good guy. If he really wanted things patched up with them, then he wouldnt have waited until then.

Never been jolted by a major event that's put everything into perspective? Something like Dimebag's death would obviously get you thinking that there's something beyond petty little feuds and that we might as well all get along.

u actually hav a really gd point there coz if i put myself in daves position i wood hav dun the same most likely

[munky_magik]

Possibly Munky. No one knows the truth except Dave.
And you're not likely to ever get it out of him.
Dave is one of the biggest bull shitters in the music industry.

I know, thats why I'm skeptical. Everyone else seems like a fanboy and would eat the gum off his shoe if he asked, Ugh!

You know, Tuesdays Gone is a cover they recorded live in some radio station they had practically invaded with a bunch of musics finest. :lol:

Not really.
This thread was designed to contain all the reasons for starting threads on Metallica, a conglomerate of 'Tallica threads if you will.
What's happening instead is people are inventing topics to discuss just because this official thread exists.
A lot of people seem to have got it into their heads that a band gets an official thread because they're important, which is not the case.
This is effectively like the community thread, but dedicated to Metallica. Which was not why it was made.

yea it stops at fixxxer if you go chronologically,

[Chu]

I seriously think St. Anger's good compared to Load/ReLoad.
Hahahaha, sure the drums are whack and no solos etc. But it's got some decent guitar imo...

[solosliveforever]

i think they died around the black album cuz they hired bob rock, hes that one guy that takes great tough bands and turns them to modern pop crap, i wanna hear the kill em all, and master of puppets days, wheres the solos kirk

[Chu]

Chilis aren't crap, Bob Rock's not that bad....

But yes, they died Black Album, I like St. Anger, maybe I'm the only one!
But meh, they'll never do another Master of Puppets.

[willis2441]

I seriously think St. Anger's good compared to Load/ReLoad.
Hahahaha, sure the drums are whack and no solos etc. But it's got some decent guitar imo...
the drums arent whacked,lars just rimshots everytime he hits the snare,which gets very old,very kwik,its is actually hard to do,so technically he got better.

[Joe]

where talking about songs, not albums. there have been plenty of good songs since the black album
for example
- most of the black album, fuel, 2x4, etc

[solosliveforever]

im not sayin bob rocks not a bad guy but he did turn them into a progressive metal band instead of speed metal, and ur rite master of puppets is their best

[Chu]

the drums arent whacked,lars just rimshots everytime he hits the snare,which gets very old,very kwik,its is actually hard to do,so technically he got better.
I'd rep you for that, but I've given out too much in the past 24 hours, I didn't know that, it's pretty cool, that said, I still don't like the sound of the drums that much :p

[willis2441]

where talking about songs, not albums. there have been plenty of good songs since the black album
for example
- most of the black album, fuel, 2x4, etc
metallica has at least 2 good songs on every album

I'd rep you for that, but I've given out too much in the past 24 hours, I didn't know that, it's pretty cool, that said, I still don't like the sound of the drums that much :p
rep me tommorow :naughty:

[solosliveforever]

their last good song though is harvester of sorrow its catchy

[Chu]

im not sayin bob rocks not a bad guy but he did turn them into a progressive metal band instead of speed metal, and ur rite master of puppets is their best
I don't think Master's their best. It's just everyone's always asking for a new Master.
Personally I think Kill 'em All is their best.
Ride The Lightning's amazing, Master is a great album, and definately a must have in my opinion, but I think Kill 'em All is just.. Better...

[solosliveforever]

no they only had one good song on st anger which was st anger

[solosliveforever]

i think the best song on kill em all is actually jump in the fire was that done by mustaine?

[JH LU KH RT]

Chilis aren't crap, Bob Rock's not that bad....

But yes, they died Black Album, I like St. Anger, maybe I'm the only one!
But meh, they'll never do another Master of Puppets.


No yur not i like StAnger too.. I didnt at first but i listened to it a lot and now i think its way better than load reload.

[Chu]

i think the best song on kill em all is actually jump in the fire was that done by mustaine?
Don't think so, but I agree, bloody awesome song.

And JH LU KH RT that's my feelings exactly, remind me to rep you too!!!!

[solosliveforever]

cmon reloads better cuz of fuel

[solosliveforever]

i thought frantic was cool at first but man it just slows down and dulls

[Chu]

i thought frantic was cool at first but man it just slows down and dulls
I own all their albums, but have never really liked ...AJFA, Self-Titled, Load or ReLoad. But I thought St. Anger was good. I mean, it obviously has some bad points, and I can definately see where people are coming from when they say they don't like it, but I can listen to it, and enjoy it, and that's all I care about.

[solosliveforever]

i dont think im gettin much feedback on this one

[solosliveforever]

i also think since they got married they had to tone it down a bit and their hair when they cut it off i cried that day

[Chu]

They're not gonna live forever, they need to grow up sometime....
Can't expect them to be 80 year olds with long hair and still play Ride The Lightning (Although that would be pretty cool :p).

[willis2441]

cmon reloads better cuz of fuel
i dont like that song,i just dosent click w/me

[Chu]

I like To Live is To Die, that's it.
I can't stand One, although everyone I know loves it.

[solosliveforever]

ya y does every one love one i heard it and was bored to tears but ur rite they cant live forever it would be sadder for some old guy to keep his hair and hold onto something that is already dead even though u know u have to admit old better than new

[willis2441]

I like To Live is To Die, that's it.
I can't stand One, although everyone I know loves it.

when one picks up its awesome,the guitar solo,lars' double bass,then hetfields solo,its just a great song,the beginning guitar riff is chilling at a concert,you hear all those guns and $hit,then that begining guitar,its killer.plus the explosions.

[guitarloser]

i dont like that song,i just dosent click w/me
How can u not like fuel? It is one of their best songs! :evil:

[solosliveforever]

im gonna say best metallica song of all time, and argue amongst urselves and with me i guess, is battery hammets fingers our on fire on that solo

[Chu]

im gonna say best metallica song of all time, and argue amongst urselves and with me i guess, is battery hammets fingers our on fire on that solo
I wouldn't say it's their best, I really don't think I could label anything their best (Maybe Orion) but it is a bloody awesome song, been covered by many people, so that's proof it's good.

[willis2441]

How can u not like fuel? It is one of their best songs! :evil:
its just like chu not liking one,but im not gonna go into why i dont like it cuz ill get -reped out the @ss cuz everyone else likes it and i dont,but thats how everyone is.

[solosliveforever]

ya chu this is at u, im just wondering whos covered orion ne body popular? and i also think battery should be americas solution to weight problems just have fat people learn the guitar and play that really loud every day of course im joking but wouldnt that be great

[guitarloser]

I can't say i've heard one of their songs that i don't like, there may be a few that aren't as good as the others but for the most part i like 'em all!

[solosliveforever]

i have wat about their turn the page cover that really stunk

[Chu]

ya chu this is at u, im just wondering whos covered orion ne body popular? and i also think battery should be americas solution to weight problems just have fat people learn the guitar and play that really loud every day of course im joking but wouldnt that be great
Only band I know of who could touch Orion, and have, is Dream Theater, and their version was so beautiful. I have Dream Theater covering the whole Master of Puppets album in one sitting (57 Minutes) they don't make ONE mistake the whole time, it's just amazing.

I reckon you could just get people to headbang to Battery, they'd build up enough sweat from it they'd surely lose their weight!

[Chu]

i have wat about their turn the page cover that really stunk
I like that, I really like their whole set of Garage Days. Except for maybe So What :/

I didn't know that!

I also have a video of Dream Theater just doing Master of Puppets, it's awesome to watch them, they bloody dominate the song :)

Gah, getting a bit tired now, better listen to Crash Course in Brain Surgery again... //I've been listenning to Garage Days non-stop recently, well that and St. Anger.

[solosliveforever]

ya chu go and find the music video for whiskey in the jar and ull see james playin lead

ive never listened to breadfan i should start

[Wolverton]

What is breadfan?
Is it a band?

[Chu]

ID like to hear that. Wear did u find it?
I actually didn't find it, I bumped into a guy at my old school who was heavily into both bands and he gave me the album I quess you'd call it, but it's only 1 file. It's 80mb.

Edit: Breadfan's the song, Budgie's the band. I've never heard the original, but I like Metallica's version.

[guitarloser]

ive never listened to breadfan i should start
yeah you should, i garuntee you'll like it

can u send me it via AIM

[solosliveforever]

whats everyones thoughts on mustaine should metallica given him a chance to get into aa or should they have stuck with their plans of kickin him out

[guitarloser]

What is breadfan?
Is it a band?
Breadfan is a song from the garage inc. album, originally recorded by thin lizzy!

[Wolverton]

IMO i don't like the new bassist Rob. I just don't think he could live up to Cliff. Does anyone agree?

[solosliveforever]

i dont mean to change the subject or anything but, o who am i kiddin i did mean to change it

[Chu]

can u send me it via AIM
Don't have AIM sorry.

[guitarloser]

I think the new guy looks like a monkey

[solosliveforever]

hey man jason didnt live up to cliff no one can but they were lookin for somebody who has been around the block i mean rob has played with ozzy

[solosliveforever]

they should have got the guy from the cult he was good

[Chu]

Breadfan is a song from the garage inc. album, originally recorded by thin lizzy!
7. Breadfan - (originally recorded by Budgie) :)

[FateisCold]

Rob is talented but I won't accept him as Metallica, after hearing St. Anger there is no metallica. It died several years ago. (cries)

[solosliveforever]

fateiscold i agree thats actually wat we were talkin bout earlier i put they died when they hired bob rock and they recorded black album

[guitarloser]

7. Breadfan - (originally recorded by Budgie) :)
My bad thin lizzy did Whiskey in the Jar
thanks for the correction though :thumb:

[solosliveforever]

ya garage inc. was ok but i thought their skynyrd cover was awful

[Chu]

My bad thin lizzy did Whiskey in the Jar
thanks for the correction though :thumb:
Haha, it's cool, the only reason I did the correction was because I was looking at Garage Inc on Amazon at the tiime I saw what you said :)

[Wolverton]

I think the black album was pretty good. But none can touch AJFA

[solosliveforever]

ajfa thats when they got worse listen to kill em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all cutting out one

[Wolverton]

Ok i will say that Kill em all is the best but i think that One is one of their better songs right along with Sanitarium, Battery and Fade to black.

[Wolverton]

Reload is a stellar album too. You cant forget Low man lyrics, unforgivenII, Fuel, and memory remains

[FateisCold]

fateiscold i agree thats actually wat we were talkin bout earlier i put they died when they hired bob rock and they recorded black album

Well I won't say that, because Black Album was still very well written music and some decent solos as well but there is not one solo on St. Anger. I spent so much time listening to that cd hoping that there would be one but to my surprise metallica had sold out. I've lost all respect for the band I loved for so long.

[solosliveforever]

one more message before i go black album is the beggining of progressive metallica but speed thrash metal died before that

[Wolverton]

St. Anger was an upset. It just isin't Metallica without a solo. Not to metion the riffs weren't even too amazing. St. Anger is a very bad mistake

[Chu]

I think St. Anger's a hell of a lot better then anything else they've realesed in the past 10 years (Original Material).

[Guitar_fool]

Hello the load reload was a hella LOT better then st. anger even given the fact the song "mama said" was on there it was still better then st. anger and i mean the new stuff that was released on S&M was better then the entire crappy album.

i mean cmon at least no leaf clover had a solo in it

/anger

[krazy_guitarist_3]

What should their next cd be like? I say go back to the black album style. St Anger was kinda disappointing without the solos and stuff.

[Chu]

There were problems with St. Anger, obviously, but overall it wasn't bad.
Alot better then Load/ReLoad, in my opinion.

[Leper]

ya there definitely need to be some decent solos on the new album. I dunno, i kinda hope they throw in a power ballad or two.

[metal_milita]

(metallica bashing time (sort of))
Wow, what was that entire attack on Warlock?? Sure he did push it coming into a metallica thread full of non-admiting but self-hating fan boys (most of you are, considering you can't handle a minor opinion or second theory from a faceless stranger on the net), trying to promote an OPINION (something im sure he "forgot" to mention). Never really a big fan of Megadeth, I was never bothered to find out much about Dave apart from what I know about his history in Metallica. Of course, that bit of BIASED info is that hes a really dick.
Thing is, I'm open minded (forgive the self praising) and i can accept the fact that what i think is WRONG because i have only read into one side of the opinion, force fed by Metallica (coincidently Daves opposing band) so any opinion i lay about Dave will be half true. Knowing all of this, I still think hes a dick.
But everyone else.... They are NOT open minded to their own attitude. This is how you're supposed to act (think of it as brainwashing) courtesy of Metallica. Metallica is a great band and has great musicians, but they have grown attatched to their fame and money IMO. Thinking of it from a different way, imagine James and Lars sitting on a chair, laughing and drinking and smoking $100 cigars pointing at people bashing Dave regardless of the truth or such. Enjoying the fun, the defect they've taken advantage of. Metallica are self admitting assholes, and proud also. The chance that they actually did do that scenerio IMO is way more than the chance they didn't do that. Metallica aren't some innocent band members faced by evil Dave whos out to get them because thats how Dave wants to spend 20 years of his entire life, fighting a non sensical issue. People generalize way to much on the stuff that matters, and look way too much into stuff that has little influence over anything.
Metallica are NOT innocent when it comes to thing like fame, popularity etc. eg. lars stole the name metallica. Oooh, but what fanboy wants to raise that issue? No matter what they say, they sold out to commercialist ways of life (videos, radio). They can say whatever (we weren't ready), but the outrightly contradicted their principles, all for money.
And people believe every word they say, all in the love of MOP and FTB.
You're practically spelling it out yourself, FAN BOYS.
This of course does not apply to most of you. Only people that will do what they're "meant" to do like robots. Metallica pays thousands of dollers to make people act like that, to make them their bitches.
This sounds like a TOK essay (theory of knowledge).....

Lots of people don't think logically when it comes to dealing with issues that don't involve them.
Theres way more to the Dave/James issue that no one will ever know, and frankly, its none of our business.
Get out of your sugar coated metal dream and realize whats actually probably (contradictry...) going on.

[Chu]

You realise, both me and munky are Megadeth fans, so we know the story from both sides. You did research, right?

Oh, nevermind, just let the hypocrisy reign.

[Huber]

IMO i don't like the new bassist Rob. I just don't think he could live up to Cliff. Does anyone agree?

Comparing him to Cliff isn't fair. He's a great performer.

Edit: Sorry again. It keeps loading the unrecent posts and showing them as recent or something.

[metal_milita]

I said this only applies to certain people, not in this thread, but in general.

I did get harsh on the fanboy stuff, but a lot of people need to know that about themselves.

No one was targeted, and you and munky don't even count.

Parden my harsh but humble opinion.

Well, me and Munky were two of the 4 or so main people flaming Warlock directly, and Munky even took him to the official Megadeth thread.
It's not that we were sticking up for Metallica, his accusations were false and miseducated.

[metal_milita]

lol Chu, if you know anything about my posts, its that somehow, i love to indicate the faults of the human character and nature.
I already told you this has nothing really to do with you. Its to do with people who claim not to be fan boys to escape that label, but they'll walk around with their eyes and ears shut and just do whatever Metallica tells them.
And people who keep ragging on Dave.
Seems like a nice guy from Megadeth.
He was an ******* in Metallica.

[6stringslinger]

I dont think Metallicas next album will sound like St Anger, I think they realized after all it was not a great album. I read an old issue of Guitar World magazine where Bob Rock(the 5th member) was talking about how he wanted to have a stripped down type of sound and so on. I think with 1.James being in Rehab 2. Jason leaving 3. Finding a new bassist all of these things happening caused them to lose focus and become even more dependant on Bob to straighten things out. Bob did straighten a lot of it out and played the bass lines and help find a new bassist and basically put the whole album together. He is like a bigger brother to them. But he needs to GO!! It would be so interesting to hear them with another producer. I think the next album will be different and sound better than St Anger.

I saw them last year and the song Frantic totally kicks A** in concert, Also I think the first few minutes of the song Some of Monster is cool but other than that..........They will get it right next time out......I hope

I just hope their new album has a little of everything, from their awesome solos from the early days to their hard fast chords from St. Anger.

[Thor]

123 i think they will put out another load type album
That would certainly be better than St. Anger, but I would really like for them to make something along the lines of Ride The Lightning.

[JH LU KH RT]

That would certainly be better than St. Anger, but I would really like for them to make something along the lines of Ride The Lightning.

Yeah i think thats what everyone wants. Even though everyone is saying they sold out, they really didnt they made the music THEY wanted to make. If they go back to the old style (which is what everyone wants them to do) than that will be selling out, because that is what everyone wants them to do, i think that everyone should stop complaining and let Metallica do what they want with the next cd.

[Leper]

I just hope they don't rush through the recording and production process.

[Joe]

That would certainly be better than St. Anger, but I would really like for them to make something along the lines of Ride The Lightning.

Well that I'm afraid won't happen. I don't know if this was mentioned before, but everyone probably realized that the change in bassists has led to differences in albums. everything went down hill around ajfa, and rtl and mop were similar. maybe rob will bring an rtl/mop style of music like the band used to have. (btw, when bob rock played bass it made it a bad album)

it wasn't the bass lines that made the album bad tho. Hopefully Dimebag Darrell's death influences Metallica's new album the way Cliff's death influenced AJFA. I heard they were pretty good friends with Dimebag.

[Po0sH]

Yeah but it probably won't "influence" them.

[Leper]

Yeah but it probably won't "influence" them.

Ya probably not :upset:

[Joe]

Ya probably not :upset:

I'd hate to have it be a death be the reason to influence this album. It should be a good album anyways, but its always nice to put out an amazing album because of influences

[willis2441]

im still sticking to them puttin out another load type album

[Burdcheese]

Load sounds likely to me - though probably a little bit heavier. I think it will probably have some quite experimental elements to it as well.

[Joe]

a new load would be ok, better than reload and st anger. but i'd like a new rtl/mop

hows my avatar now gocaps?

[MasterOfSquirells]

Just a quick question on a part of the solo.

The bit where hammet bends the strings of the board is well hard to play, is there any positions you can get these notes using artificial harmonics?

[Joe]

hows my avatar now gocaps?

good. and the load and st anger riffs are cool, just sololess

Just a quick question on a part of the solo.

no idea, i just play it like he does live.

[MasterOfSquirells]

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 said that earlier today. We can all dream, but I highly doubt that it is ever going to happen.

[Chu]

Meh, another St. Anger's fine in my opinion!
I'd much rather St. Anger over Load.

[maxiscool]

So is metallica working on a new album?

[Sandtrap]

i dont know if I want them to come out with a new album, last one sucked (you know what)!

yes

No, and there won't be one either.

[Pantera in Chains]

ya there definitely need to be some decent solos on the new album. I dunno, i kinda hope they throw in a power ballad or two.

I'm sure it will all depend on what's "In" at the time it will be made seeing as how arse and bob rock didn't think solos were "in" when they made stanger. I think it's hard denying that Metallica are among the bands that have gone farthest from their roots and sold out the biggest to their believes.

[Fernandes Power]

No, and there won't be one either.

to yours truly :thumb:

[lightningmetal666]

I think that the lack of decent solos is what really killed St. Anger. They
stopped doing cool **** like in Puppetz and took on a more Nu Metal
approach. (As in no solos).

[solosliveforever]

progressive rock is taking over thats wat bob rock did to em

[lightningmetal666]

I know that bob rock has done a lot for the band, but I feel he is
taking them in a bad direction. Maybe a new producer is in order.
(Like the guy who was with slayer, acdc, and more recently slipknot)
While some may not like these bands, he brought out their full potential
(I'll +rep whoever remembers his name as I am currently suffering from
CRS)

[vashts80]

Rick Rubin.

[solosliveforever]

i totally agree w/u lightningmetal but have u seen their new doc. some kind o monster? they love that guy they personally asked him to produce and even play bass on st anger lets face it theyre older, married, theyre parents, and theyre entering new metal music i hate it but its the truth

[Joe]

i totally agree w/u lightningmetal but have u seen their new doc. some kind o monster? they love that guy they personally asked him to produce and even play bass on st anger lets face it theyre older, married, theyre parents, and theyre entering new metal music i hate it but its the truth

Exactly. Their music will never be as good as it was. Not a one of them can play their instruments like they used to. They are all good friends with Bob and they like him, so they won't fire him. Hopefully this album will be better, like we all have been saying

[vashts80]

Thank god Bob won't be doing bass again. I hope Rob has a HUGE influence on this album, for basslines at least.

[Fernandes Power]

i totally agree w/u lightningmetal but have u seen their new doc. some kind o monster? they love that guy they personally asked him to produce and even play bass on st anger lets face it theyre older, married, theyre parents, and theyre entering new metal music i hate it but its the truth
They didnt have a bassist... he can play bass... hence the whole bass player position...

[solosliveforever]

ya and unfortunately, or i atleast have not heard, there will probly never be another band like them they were the def. of speed metal hammet could play till his fingers fell off and they just rocked hard at least we know theyll go down in history as one of the greatest of all time

[lightningmetal666]

I have seen trailers of it. I know for a fact that they just looooooooove
bob rock, but do you think they can endure another bad album?
After saint anger many metallica fans are now leary of their favorite
band. His bass lines are terrible, and the band being unable to stand
one another doesn't help. From what I've seen, bob hasn't tried once
to help the band get along (though I may be wrong).
Also what's up with the band going to therepy. Most bands that
I know of (pro or amateur) deal with **** one of 2 ways:
1. Box
2. Fire people

Beings that no one wants to see anyone get fired from the band,
then lars and james got to find some boxing gloves :p

[vashts80]

Marty Friedman and Chris Poland can both run circles around Hammett. Metallica wasn't the definition of thrash.

I love them and all, but fanboyism is stupid. You can't say that Metallica were/was/is the definition of thrash/speed, because there's many bands out there, tons underground, that can run circles around them.

The greatest? Hell no. One of the greatest? Definitely. Top 10? Maybe.

Edit: That was to solosliveforever.

[Joe]

I'd really like to say that, but I can't admit that to being true. There are plenty of guitarists coming out that are good, if not better, than Kirk Hammett.

But to your other point, I don't think there will ever be a better band

[solosliveforever]

they got therapy because james and lars were too egomaniacal and kirk is just goin along w/ it, even though the album hit 1 on the charts fans are gonna get really pissy if they dont straighten up their act, u should get the doc. anyway its good and there are some funny parts in there too

[solosliveforever]

edit:vashts

ya but they sold over 90 million albums tell me one more of those metal bands ur talkin about that has done that

[vashts80]

Albums sold does not mean they're the greatest Metal band ever. Led Zeppelin have sold how many albums? That doesn't mean they're the best Rock band ever.

[munky_magik]

How good a band is is entirely subjective to the said person's opinion.
How enjoyable something is is a matter of opinion, where as things such as success etc...are fact.
it's useful to be able to distinguish between the two.

I agree with vashts80. Chris is the s**t and I would love to study
w/ him one day. (Even though he is a jazz player at heart and I don't play jazz). Hammett is a phenomenal player but as vashts80 stated there are
other great thrash guitarist that could give him a run for his money.
(Dave Mustaine for one :naughty: ).

Ok fine, I think in overall talent and chemistry, Metallica was one of the greatest bands ever.

[munky_magik]

Ok fine, I think in overall talent and chemistry, Metallica was one of the greatest bands ever.
Talent, not really. There are so many bands that are more talented than them.

[lightningmetal666]

Ok fine, I think in overall talent and chemistry, Metallica was one of the greatest bands ever.
Their talent is unquestionable, but their chemistry? Lars and James
have never, ever, EVER been able to get along for very long.
I find that when things go well they go really well but
when bad things happen, crap hits the fan. There is no denying
that they are one of the greatest bands ever, but their chemistry
is confusing at best. :confused:

[lightningmetal666]

They didnt have a bassist... he can play bass... hence the whole bass player position...
I know of people who have been playing bass for less than a year that are better than him. This was an example of a band trying to rush an album.
If they had been patient they would have found a better bassist at
that point in time. If they already had lines set up, and just asked
bob to play them, then I wouldn't b**ch as much, but the sad truth is
they wanted him to write all the bass parts himself. Who know's maybe
if they had waited, they would have gotten rob, and had HIM write the lines
(which he does very well) maybe the album would have been better.

[solosliveforever]

it was just their egos that got in the way of makin succesful music i mean st anger sucked, maybe they havent resolved everything

[JACKROXYOU]

eh theyu just put out a bad one

they just missed the target

[solosliveforever]

i think rob has something to do with that but the real fact is they were and are entering a time period where, as i have stated before, progressive rock/metal rules, and bob,over the years kept pushing and pushing them until they broke from thrash metal, what they need to do on the next album is take more time on a song, the lyrics werent all that good with st anger (the song) exception

[lightningmetal666]

James and Lars not getting along kinda helped I think. They used to push each other to write better music.
That's absolutely true metal guitar, they pushed each other quite well.
But how long do you think they can withstand the bull**** before
that becomes counterproductive? How can a band write great songs
when they don't even want to be in the same room as each other?
That whole thought defeats the purpose of a band.

[solosliveforever]

which is another big reason why they took group therapy, they didnt want to play w/each other and that was a huge conflict for years

[solosliveforever]

the whole reason behind no solos comes out in the doc. too its crap

[lightningmetal666]

My whole worry is that they can't/won't put differences aside
when they're in the studio. Ego trips have got to end if
this new album is going to be successful. Look at it this way
when Cliff ran the band, things were overall great. Then James
ran the band. Things were alright but not great. Now Lars wants leadership
and things are going sour. Popularity with Lars among fans is already
on thin ice as far as his crap w/ napster.

[lightningmetal666]

the whole reason behind no solos comes out in the doc. too its crap
I want the doc. but I keep getting insufficient funds every
time I swipe my ATM card. :p :thumb:

[solosliveforever]

lars is a complete d*** when it comes to napster, james gets really emotional about alot of s***, and kirk just sits back and watches his band screw up, will they get their differences resolved? who knows, although i am anticipating a new album

that sucks sorry lightingmetal

I feel so sorry for Kirk. He is going through so much s*** trying to keep the
band together. His situation reminds me of a kid having to listen to parents
who never get along, but stay together because they don't believe in
seperation. Kirk deserves better than that.

Well if you are talking about being in a band and playin on stage i would ahve to say:

Hit the LIghts
Orion
Master of Puppets
Blackened
Fade To Black

Those songs to me have the most emotion and or energy to them and i think it would be incredible to play those on stage.

+rep to you for picking Orion as many people ditch that
songs like that for Sandman, Fuel, etc.(not that they're bad) when Orion is better. An easy song that I would play that's different from the norm
is The Thing That Should Not Be because it's creepy and different
from the norm. I might also play my favorite Metallica song
Harvester of Sorrow.

[lightningmetal666]

No one wants to chat anymore?
Is there anyone out there

[acefrehleyjendell]

The Metallica songs i've covered are

St Anger (i was forced into it by my guitarist, he had only heard that album
until that point)

Blackened
Master of Puppetts
Motorbreath
Hit the lights
Seek and Destroy
Metal Militia
