Metallica Inc.

[Joe]

OK SO IM GONE FOR TWO PAGES AND ALL YOU GUYS CAN TALK ABOUT ARE DICKS?!?!

anyways!!!

on stage i would play (in order)

Orion
Seek and Destroy
Sad But True
Sanitarium
Fade to Black

orion because it's cool
seek and destroy because its classic
sad but true because it's really awesome
sanitarium because it's double as awesome as sad but true
and fade to black because it's the greatest. amazing beginning and kick *** end

[JH LU KH RT]

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

Your guitarist must be sweet if he can play those solos. Thats so awesome im only a freshman so nobody in my band yet can play that kinda guitar.

[lightningmetal666]

For the ultimate in thrash, I would like to learn Whiplash. That would
be so awesome to play on my guitar in front of a crowd. Another
great 'outside the norm' song I would consider playing would be Devils Dance.
What instrument do u play?

[CreepingDeath~]

+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.

Yeah I think The thing that should not be is one of Metallicas most under rated songs, because the other songs on MOP over shadows it.

I'm mad at my band. They don't wanna cover ANY Metallica.

I can play a lot of songs (of course, my drummer coulnd't keep up with me) and my other guitarist doesn't want to, which makes no sense. I wanted to try sanitarium, and he didn't. sanitarium rules.

And my bassist said no, and then i suggested layla and he said "our audience wouldn't know who clapton was"
1) yea they would
2) layla rules either way

it would be better if they didn't know laya becasue they( the stupid ones) would think you made the song

[JACKROXYOU]

**** my band started when i was in 8th grade and my lead can play eruption forward and backwards

[Thor]

Eruption has a good solo, but certainly not the craziest ever.

[Joe]

**** my band started when i was in 8th grade and my lead can play eruption forward and backwards

my guitarist and i sorta share lead. i do it the most, but he has some solos. i'm more of a dave mustaine person, writes leads and rhythm, but i have another guitarist that does some too.

and im definitely no EVH

you should probably find a new band...
or at least get some one in it who has the same musical taste as you..

[lightningmetal666]

Dude that ****ing sucks that they don't want to do Metallica.
To me Metallica is some hard s*** to play (for the most part).
not to mention they are definite crowd pleasers.
Everybody knows Clapton even if they don't recognize
it at first. (Before you Accuse me and Nobody Knows You
When You're down And Out are good songs to play live also.)

[lightningmetal666]

lol :lol:

I agree with you there. There's no sense in trying to get
a blues band to play metal or vice versa unless they enjoy both

[Joe]

lol :lol:

well i like the guys, they've been good friends. i've been tryin for a long time to find a band and we all finally got together and we've put together some good music. i'm trying to add a bit of a metal hard rock spin on some music while the others are doing that, a little bit of punk, and a little bit of ska.

it's actually pretty good, i think. i'd rather have more metal tho

[JH LU KH RT]

The only solo I can do on that list is Puppetz, though I am working

Yeah my guy can play Master of puppets, we can play that song and he can play the fast solo in one, thats about it, hes really talented hes just to intimidated to learn any solos.

I started feb of last year so i kinda suck haha i can play the rhythm parts to all of metallicas songs though so if he learns the solos they really arent a problem.

And our drummer has been playing 8 years, and hes 15 so hes sweet too, and our bass player can play most bass things cause bass is easy (most of it).

[lightningmetal666]

**** my band started when i was in 8th grade and my lead can play eruption forward and backwards
So can I. As a matter of fact in my upcoming contest I learned that
song as my 2 minute tie breaker, and I modified it a bit
(due to a crappy trem system, not cuz I feel that I'm better than EVH)

ok here
Me (Lead)- Rock and Metal
Conor (Rhythm) -Ska, Punk, Rock, Metal
Eric (Bass)- Ska, Punk, some Rock
Nick (Drums)- all sorts, but can't play any of it

:lol: For a challege that u could pose to your lead, tell him to play
the solo to Fight fire w/ fire (I'm still working on that) or u both
could do the duel leads on RTL

[lightningmetal666]

how long u been playin? how old are u?
I'm 19 and I've been playing for almost 3 years. (I practice everyday
for 3+ hours, I need a social life :lol: )

The guitar parts in RTL are probly my favorite to play right now, that or ktulu. They are both amazingly fun.

The best part about playing ktulu is after u switch to distortion and u play the clean parts palm muted.

sounds sooooo aweomse.

[Joe]

I'm 19 and I've been playing for almost 3 years. (I practice everyday

I don't really like practice, I just pick up the guitar and just keep playing. I can't get too much further in skill, but I just keep writing things that make sense. I need another guitar teacher...I wanna get better

Ktulu is my second favorite Metallica Song. The part that I like
is the intro and the fills that kirk does when james does
his power chord thing.

but if you have fun doing it and you make good music then that's all that matters

Well (a little selfless promotion not spam) I do have a thread on
here called Heavy Metal Guitar that u could look up. I also
have a college professor that kicks @$$ on guitar and shows me
cool s*** all the time. (Like insane sweep taps that I'll probably never
get down.) Maybe you could enroll at Musicians Institutes GIT program
(I hear that EVH did)

[lightningmetal666]

I've never really been a fan of punk music, but there are a couple bands that I do
like. (Ramones for one.)

[lightningmetal666]

Hello? Where's everyone at?

[_xxBLACKENEDxx_]

I jam with a few guys from my school but we can never find a friggin base. there are way too many guitarists.

(not very well at that).

uh oh., catchya later man, business studies is over!!! gotta go back home

chill out metallifans

[CreepingDeath~]

I jam with a few guys from my school but we can never find a friggin base. there are way too many guitarists.I know.. same with me...I am a drummer and it is so hard to find a bass player to play with. It is so annoying because usually if some one wants to play an instrument, they usually go to guitar... ( at least the people I know do)..
There is one "bassist" I can think of that I know well, but he has never played a bass before:rolleyes: ... he just has a guitar, and (hopefully) he is going to buy a bass.

"Mandatory Metallica" Does anybody on here have this on your local radio station??

Every night (mon-fri) at midnight they play a block(3-4) songs from Metallica.

That woul be pretty cool. We never have much good stuff on the radio, except for classic rock some weeknights. They do over-play Enter Sandman though.

Ya we've got mandatory Metallica in Winnipeg, MB on a radio station. It's awesome. They usually play pre-black album material to which is a huge plus :thumb:

[KILO5203]

not around here. if theres one metallica song you hear on the radio its enter sandman, which is why i just stick to the cd player.

[metal massaka]

they used to have mandatory metallica here in New Zealand but the c*nts took it off

[Leper]

well when it's not mandatory metallica it isn't much better here either. I usually here either Enter Sandman, or, for some reason, King Nothing........?

[6stringslinger]

Here in Dayton,Oh they play "Fade to Black" alot and "Enter Sandman"

[Leper]

Ya Fade to Black and the Unforgiven get some airtime every now and then but those 4 are basically the meat of the metallica here.

[hammet_ownz]

planet rock in tas plays bloody fuel every night 8-)

actually come to think of it i have heard the unnamed feeling a few times

lol, ive got crap all chance of hearing any good tallica on the radio, they are all convinced that rock music is simple plan and good charlotte

[Josh]

not around here. if theres one metallica song you hear on the radio its enter sandman, which is why i just stick to the cd player.
in the UK you dont get much metallica on regular radio, you get a bit on digital radio. on kerrang! tv they play enter sandman, i disappear, nothing else matters, one. on other channels they still play st. anger and until it sleeps.

[Chu]

Yes, death to all emo bastards!!!! :evil:

Wait, they have Metalheads in Aus now too?!

[limac25]

What is emo? Ive heard my friends talking about it and i just dont know what they are talking about.

[Josh]

i think its supposed to be "emotional hardcore" or some crap like that.

[hammet_ownz]

too frigging right we do man

i get beaten at school cos i admitted i like tallica

[Josh]

thats tough. anyway, whats the general thoughts on load / reload? IMO they are average albums, not as strong as the self-titled but way better than st. anger.
whats your thoughts?

(i have kill 'em all, ride the lightning, ...and justice for all (pirate), master of puppets (pirate), metallica, load, reload)

EDIT:forgot i have s&m (pirate)

[limac25]

So its a type of music. Also who do u think does the best metallica covers? eg, Dream Theater, Dark Angel, Motor head, Life After Death, Death Angel, Flotsam & Jetsam etc. Who?

[Josh]

the motorhead cover of enter sandman is good, IMO better than the original.

[hammet_ownz]

dream theaters master of puppets live in barcelona was off the hook

[limac25]

Anyone heard : Metallica, The Ultimate Tribute Album. Its got a few good bands and artists covering their songs.
Song list includes:
Motor Head - Whiplash
Flotsam & Jetsam - Damage Inc
Joey Vera (Anthrax Bassist), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme Guitarist, i think), Scott Travis (Judas Preist Drummer), Tommy Victor (Prong Guitarist/Vocals)
Trapped Under Ice - Death Angel
Nothing Else Matters - Bob Kulick (Dont know where from, something to do with KISS i think), Bruce Kulick ( same deal as bob), Gregg Bissonette (Think he's a solo artist), Joe Lynn Turner (Singer for Yngwie i think and in Deep Purple perhaps. Fell free to correct me im not totally sure), Tony Franklin (Fretless bass player not sure who with tho, solo maybe)
Motorbreath - Blasko (dont know), Page Hamilton (dont know), Ryan Yerdon (dont know), Scott Ian (Anthrax Guitarist)
Holier Than Thou - Alex Skolnick (Testament Guitarist), Chuck Billy (Testament, Rampage Vocalist), Doug Aldrich (Solo Artist and others i think), Eric Singer (Badlands, KISS, Black Sabbath Drummer), Marco Mendoza (With various artists, too many to name. Bassist)
Eye of the Beholder - Life After Death
Creeping Death - Dark Angel


Glad i got all that off. Well thats for anyone whos vaguely interested in this album. Probably not very well known because it only came out in nov last year. If any of you have soulseek add me - limac25 i have this album and all other metallica albums so yeh.

[Chu]

too frigging right we do man

i get beaten at school cos i admitted i like tallica
Nah I'm Australian too, it was a joke like the whole "You've got internet in Australia now?!". Heh.

And man, physically or verbally? If it's physical should get some people to kick some ***. :D

And I prefer St. Anger to Load/ReLoad.

[Chu]

It wasn't my first.
And I'll admit it, I hated it initially.
But after listenning to it alot, it's not that bad.
Sure it could have been better, but I'm thankful for what they released, personally a Load type album would have ruined it for me.

[Burdcheese]

^^None whatsoever

[Josh]

man now there is absoloutely no way i will get that album if it has no solos.

edit: I wasn't there :(

[hellraiser123]

thats because kirk was really pissed off that it didnt have solo's in the studio recordings

[willis2441]

to all you people out there who like to listen to music while yer online i recommend putin in a juke box player so you can just copy your fav songs from your fav cds and put them in your library and just play whatever you have,i just recently did this,its free and its great,the one i have is musicmatch but you could put in windows juke box or somethin diffrent,but i really recommend this!

[CreepingDeath~]

Yeah, I have iTunes, and it does work well, but there aren't that many people that I know of that doesn't have some music thing on their computer....

If you people set such a score by solos then go and listen to a band that do solos and quit complaining that Metallica don't.

No way man i live in Peoria, and i am always in rockford.

So you base music off solos? You're missing out on alot of good stuff then, solos enhance a song, yes, but it doesnt necesarily make it a goodsong.

[Joe]

No, he just knew that he couldn't argue with Lars because Lars wont let it go no matter how wrong he is.

Lars, for some unknown reason, was PMSing along with James for a couple of months. Why they had solos for 20 years and then stopped? I don't know. All I remember is that St Anger was pretty awesome live. The cd is really full of great riffs, it's just that there aren't any solos.

Sounds like it would be amazing. I refuse to listen to any Sum 41 covers of Metallica, just because I don't wanna hear if they ruined it. Now Pantera is a true metal band, so I think theirs would be better

[lightningmetal666]

I know for a fact that the full aim of a solo is to tell a story
within a story. Like a side plot that still relates to the main
one. If u don't want to put one in a song or two, that's cool
but it adds a lot more interest to a song. I think that Lars
is goin' kinda 'do everything different' crazy. Why
'reinvent the wheel' if u don't have to?

he wanted to make metallicas sound new and experimental,so therefore the dumbas$ took solos out of their songs,made pretty much all the riffs in drop d,and did rimshots.it did not turn out very well,and we all flame him for it now!

I'm none to happy about the crap he's pullin' either. Why
throw out something that helps make your band great
for something that doesn't? That's like trading $100
for $1.

Don't get me wrong I do like writing riffs in drop D, and can come
up w/ some good ones, but if there was any need for variety
and difference in St. Anger, it was alternating between
the tunings. Like they did on MOP (ex. the thing that should
not be)

Yeah pretty true. I dont like what they are doing either. I try not to focus on what they are doing now and try to live the 80s again. Those were the good days for Metallica.

[lightningmetal666]

i have it,its pretty good,especally(i kno its spelled wrong) hit the lights,and when james forgets the words to RTL he just goes"i forgot the ****in words"

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah pretty true. I dont like what they are doing either. I try not to focus on what they are doing now and try to live the 80s again. Those were the good days for Metallica.
Yeah, the eighties we're awesome for Metallica.
Maybe they'll suffer from mid life crisis soon and just
go back to how they did things then. :lol:

[lightningmetal666]

I definitely got a laugh when he did that. Wasn't hit the lights,
motorbreath, and RTL (outside that mishap) awesome sounding?
I unfortunately (do to financial and transportation problems)
never got to see them play live in person. (only on dvd's)
I'd probably die if could go see one of their shows, and they
did those songs as well as they did.

My older sister & brother got to see them in bakersfield
in 2003 and totally ditched me when I'm the bigger fan. :upset:
They brought back some cool shirts and stuff, but I'd have
traded it all for a ticket and a ride. Besides, hitch hiking there
is more of an adventure anyways.

I got to get to class (college) laterz.

You think Metallica are going too call it quits soon???, i did think that a while ago however they have not too long ago got rob trujillo, i dont think they will have him join the band and do like 1 or 2 albums then call it a day.... I think they have at least 3 more albums left in them..... Thats my opinion, what do you think???

[willis2441]

i think that they think that they are out of their game,but thats just my opinion,i mean they cant put out another MOP,RTL or AJFA let alone another black album,if they are lucky they will put out another load type selling album,their getting old man!did you ever think that they just wanna kick it at their house and teach their kids how to play ball or sumthin?they probly dont wanna be on the road until they are 60...

[whatduffhuck7]

hey,maybe they will come out with a new cd and then come out with a best of cd and then call it quits,thats what i predict happening,and its pretty likely.
s&m is there closest thing to a best of and they will never go back to the 80's style they had. though i think it would be GREAT! but it wont happen. the new basist (i dont even know his name) is the most metal they have. i like to watch him live

[acefrehleyjendell]

the new basist (i dont even know his name) is the most metal they have. i like to watch him live


His name is Robert Trujillo.
And yes he's awesome live, kinda like Donkey Kong on speed.

then end it

Metallica's old music will live forever.....the new stuff will lay in shame to the magnificent music they have written in the past. When I saw them live Kirk seemed a bit rusty, almost like he didn't want to play the solos in some of the songs. They dont have the energy they used to have.

they're old farts who wanna kick it at they're house and teach their kids to play ball and listen to heavy metal.thats what i would do if i was james hetfield

[xxxH.Cxxx]

Their Old Musik Is Bad!! I Luv Fade To Black,one And Nothing Else Matters

[KILO5203]

theyre not that old. ozzy is like 56 and he still does stuff.

[6stringslinger]

Most of them(Metallica) are around 38-40yrs old i think.

[KILO5203]

yeah that sounds about right

look at other bands like iron maiden, their youngest member will be 47 this year and they're still going strong. and they still have amazing solos, so there no reason really why they shouldnt have the energy they used to have

[guitarloser]

i agree, just cause they're old doesn't mean they are bad. i kinda like soma their new stuff. they're just changin with the times

[Joe]

they're old farts who wanna kick it at they're house and teach their kids to play ball and listen to heavy metal.thats what i would do if i was james hetfield

i'd take a year off and do all that stuff

you do have a point. kirk messed up a few times, but he still looked like he was having fun the whole time. i think they've got plenty of energy

look at other bands like iron maiden, their youngest member will be 47 this year and they're still going strong. and they still have amazing solos, so there no reason really why they shouldnt have the energy they used to have

bad word. if they don't have the energy to keep on going, then that' their choice. they have the energy, that's why they're in studios and going on tour again soon. but no one should have energy, and it's up to the band members if they want to use it

[Josh]

i suppose everyones always going to look back and compare new albums to the greats like ...and justice for all and ride the lightning, but the band wont go back to that as the music has changed from what it used to be.

[KILO5203]

well im not really worried about how the new album is gonna be. i know ill like it, cuz ive liked all the others. (yes, even st anger)

[CreepingDeath~]

well im not really worried about how the new album is gonna be. i know ill like it, cuz ive liked all the others. (yes, even st anger)

Yeah, same here. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was another MOP, Load/Reload, or St. Anger. I like all of their albums, not just the early ones.

[CreepingDeath~]

The new album should be pretty good. St. Anger was recorded during a difficult time for metallica and they have now come a long way since then.
Yeah and now they have Robert Trujulio :cool:

[KILO5203]

yeah theyre all pretty awesome in my opinion. by the way, whoever neg repped me for stealing JACKROXYOUs avatar, that was retarded. our ninja stars are not even the same.

[fenderbender89]

well im not really worried about how the new album is gonna be. i know ill like it, cuz ive liked all the others. (yes, even st anger)

Yeah St. Anger is pretty good.
I mean I can listen to the whole CD :)

oh yeah the st anger dvd/ comes with the cd is awseome.
so much better than the studio.

[KILO5203]

yeah that dvd is pretty cool

[CreepingDeath~]

even though they messed up the lyrics a couple of times

[Mind Revolution]

when is the new metallica album going to be released

hey lepermessiah do you have hit the lights and can you send it to me if you do?ill send you somee "tallica too.

[Kyle]

yeah that dvd is pretty cool
its cool, but i dislike frantic on it, just that start of that song looks so lame. And st Anger when Kirk steps forward after the really cool build up and plays what i like to call a ringtone riff.

[Leper]

hey lepermessiah do you have hit the lights and can you send it to me if you do?ill send you somee "tallica too.

Uhh well i don't have it on my computer..i suppose i could upload kill em all onto my comp..

Do you know a site where we can find current news like stuff about them in studio? Metallica.com doesn't seem to be very helpfull.

[Joe]

get the magazine, So What. the website only tells a lot of stuff to club members. and it's probably the only reliable site

so today, my snow day, i watched SKOM and all the specials. it rules, still

[Chu]

I'd do the same, but I've given you too much so have to spread it around.

[Leper]

So they only tell info to the fans that give them money?

Wow so not only are we paying for their, most likely, over-priced cd when it comes out, but we're paying even more to find out when their over-priced cd comes out. I feel sorry for the saps who paid to find out the release date of St. Anger when it was still in question.

[Huber]

The whole "Metallica only wants your money" thing is getting really ****ing old. Yeah it's kinda lame that they do most of their stuff nowadays just to get money, but when your proposed with ideas from managers and stuff to score more money, any average person would go for it. We know Metallica is doing a lot of things only for the money, get over it.

[SSSnake...]

Who says Metallica are doing it for the money? They have enough as it is. A LOT of money. I doubt they're still going doing world tours and whatnot to get even more. I think thats absurd.

I wouldn't say they're doing IT for money, but they are doing a certain of things with only money in mind. Things like only putting certain news in a magazine that you have to pay for etc...

Things like touring and making records is an exception.

Ahhh i cccc

ok.

Well just for the record, that was my first, and probably only rant of the "Metallica only wanting our money" variety. I figure i'm entitled to at least one having contributed to Metallica's wealth in the past. ;)

yea. their fan club should be free. their magazine maybe not free, but very cheap. and they just got off a world tour :thumb:

[munky_magik]

They can charge whatever they like for their fanclub , but only releasing info about their current status to paying fan club members is a bit too bastard-esque for my liking.

I don't think they've ever done more than a two night show...


It's awesome they are finally getting back into studios. I watched SKOM today and I noticed how mad Kirk was that Lars wanted to be "trendy" and not have guitar solos. I'm hoping Kirk will have more of a role this time and he'll take a good minute or two out of a song and just solo away :thumb:

[Andrue]

The more I listen to S&M the more I like it. New stuff each run through to pick out.
Finally had the time to read the comments in the cover booklett too. I bet that was an awesome concert.

Metallica has not come out with a record worth wasting your time on in 17 years. They are old and artistically washed up. They ****ing ruled the eighties, wait, Slayer ruled the eighties, but Metallica was still badass then, but not anymore.

Slayer didn't rule jack ****. If I recall correctly, didn't Metallica sell almost 100,000,000 albums???

it's funny, a lot of slayer albums came out when metallica albums came out. but who outsold who?? can anyone take a logical guess?

well, so now i just did some research. in 1995 they celebrated the 4,000,000 sale. by then the black album was already 10x platinum...wow... if the black album made so many sales, what about the rest of the 80s??? Metallica has come out with some amazing records. So what if they haven't made an amazing record since the early 90's? They are still, IMO (and apparently in the opinion of 99,999,999 fans) that Metallica is better than Slayer

Yes they started to go in the studio early 2005 like in january. :thumb:

oh man i can't wait for a new album.

[Leper]

Ohh ya, Slayer is like Metallica without James Hetfield. IMO anyways.

EDIT: and that's a bad thing. ;)

The drumming in both bands, and the vocals are the biggest difference. I like both James and Tom Araya's vocals, but DAVE LOMBARDO. Huge jump from Lars to Dave Lombardo. The man is a speed machine.

Metallica has not come out with a record worth wasting your time on in 17 years. They are old and artistically washed up. They ****ing ruled the eighties, wait, Slayer ruled the eighties, but Metallica was still badass then, but not anymore.

Nobody ruled the eighties. Just because you like Slayer better than Metallica doesn't mean there better than them. Your favorite band shouldn't be your opinion of best band. My favorite band is Slipknot. Do I think there the BEST band? Hell no, they aren't. Everyone knows that. I love both Slayer and Metallica to death, but let's face it, they didn't rule crap.

Well actually not everyone knows that, unfortunately. I say it's unfortunate, not because i'm not a big fan of slipknot, but because there are a lot of slipknot fan boys where i live.

Holy S*** .........so they are really back in the studio??

I thought that was just a bunch of rumors, I just look at the link, I thought they would take some time off!! Well that is pretty f***** cool, maybe a new album will be out this year!!

They are very skilled, but they aren't the best band ever. It's all an opinion

... forgive my brutalness, but you're really sucking up for some reason. Its sort of pathetic to read those posts... No offence though, whatever floats your boat.

And what is with this thread and its ~7 pages every fricking day. Its getting hard to keep up, and once you fall back it takes forever to catch up :'(

[clown_phobia]

I'm really liking the black album at the moment.

[hammet_ownz]

all my posts bar three were in here and the other one was RATM and Why america should be kicked outta the UN heh

[clown_phobia]

Cool.

No offense meant to anyone who likes it, but Fight Fire with Fire makes me sick when I hear it. (don't get me wrong, I'm a metallica fan)

[appreciate_it]

i like the black album too julian. Its a good album. It;s kinda been so over-rated its had a drought of people talking about it which has kinda made it under-rated again...? yeah i confuse myself sometimes. but if you gather it's kinda true. Especially some of the ones that wern't in the "Big 5" God that failed, My Friend of Misery etc etc

Hit the lights is still god though
then fade.

[appreciate_it]

^^ thats like me, but escape.

[chilipepperlover85]

This is my first post on here. I saw that you brought up the Black album. One of my favorite songs is Nothing Else Matters and i almost never see anyone comment on it. So what do you guys think of it? just curious.

[clown_phobia]

It's a good song. :) I like it.

[clown_phobia]

I didn't like some of the latter songs on the album though

[chilipepperlover85]

Enter Sandman, Wherever i may roam, the unforgiven, sad but true, and nothing else matters are the only songs i like from that album. The rest seem a little mundane to me compared to the songs i listed.

[clown_phobia]

I agree totally :thumb:

[hammet_ownz]

NEM is good live the normal version is ok

lol as i have said before, the buildup before the solo by james... yeah yeah yeaaahhhhhhh then just a huge break out of sound

chills the skin :P

[chilipepperlover85]

i have to admit the first time i heard it so long ago.... ;) it gave me goose bumps

[willis2441]

Cool.
