I just did a review of Ride The Lightning, everyone please comment.
Nah man, sorry...
In my opinion that review doesn't do Ride justice.

*That's just my opinion, and I pretty much live by this album, so my thoughts on your review are totally biased.

[Thor]

Thats also what I thought. Fight fire with fire only 2/5? doesnt make sense to me.
Ill second that. Fight Fire With Fire is an awesome song. One of the best on the album, at that. This review should be redone, because it really isnt doing the album justice.

[drummerguitarist]

Me too. This is my first post, and being a Metallica fan, figured this'd be the best place to start. And as a drummer of my level, I'd have to agree. Fight Fire With Fire is a kick a$$ song, and it dominates to crank up a guitar with. My band and I love it. The whole Ride album, actually

[BassMasterMike88]

Hey does anyone in here know if Jason Newsted played with a pick or if he played slap? My band's doing a cover of Blackened and i ant the baseline to sound affectic.

[KILO5203]

im pretty sure he uses a pick

[KILO5203]

this threads kinda dead this morning. i guess everyones at school... id have to say my 3 favorite solos are in ride the lightning, 4 hoursemen, and AJFA. anyone else?

[shadow_stalker]

Fade to Black (the last solo), master of puppets and battery have my favourtie solos in.

[munky_magik]

Just so you know, this thread doesn't have to constantly be on the go.
If you continuosly force topics of conversation in here then it's gonna get old, fast.

[shadow_stalker]

Thats also what I thought. Fight fire with fire only 2/5? doesnt make sense to me.

Am i the only person that doesn't like fight fire with fire?

[shadow_stalker]

Oh well life goes on.

[KILO5203]

i used to not like FFWF, but it grew on me

[shadow_stalker]

I just don't like the way the way he sings it.

[IAJP]

My favourite Metallica album (out of the two I have :upset: ) is Kill 'Em All.
I have that and "...And Justice For All"

[KILO5203]

When I got Ride the Lightning I didnt like it, and I didnt really like FFWF. The singing was part of the reason I didnt like it.
when i first got it i didnt like it either. back then i was stuck on the black album. i think thats almost every new metallica fan's favorite for a while.

[Joe]

Hey does anyone in here know if Jason Newsted played with a pick or if he played slap? My band's doing a cover of Blackened and i ant the baseline to sound affectic.

He uses a pick. My bassist always comments on how he has no respect for bassists that use picks.

when i first got it i didnt like it either. back then i was stuck on the black album. i think thats almost every new metallica fan's favorite for a while.

Well I first liked Enter Sandman. Some of my friends played Fade to Black on guitar so I downloaded fade to black. Then I went to the store and was stuck between the Black Album and Ride the Lightning (on black i liked NEM and ES and on RTL i liked FTB) and I decided to go with Ride the Lightning. I really didn't like FFWF because of the singing, but the rest of the songs I liked a lot. So yea, my favorite album ever since I started being a Metallica fan has been Ride the Lightning

[KILO5203]

my favorite album is always changing. its always either KEA, RTL, MOP, or AJFA though. right now its KEA.

[Joe]

My first Metallica album was St. Anger which I liked. Next I bought ...AJFA which was a big change that took some getting used to.

A change for the best right? What do you think? Since you liked St. Anger and the rest were a change for you. Was it a good change or bad to go sololess etc?

[munky_magik]

I think he meant it was a big change from St Anger to Ajfa.

[Joe]

YES!!! I can finally play all of one! I could have just jacked off for a week straight...that'd make the alt. picking so much easier... but instead i just practiced for a long time, lol.

It's not that bad when you keep practicing it...

[Joe]

Sweet, youve got the solo aswell?

well i got, but i was just lookin at the tab. i should try it in like an hour just to see if i've got it memorized... but yes i finally have it

[KILO5203]

i wish i could play solos. i can only play the easy ones, like at the beginning of fade to black, one, and sanitarium

[Joe]

i wish i could play solos. i can only play the easy ones, like at the beginning of fade to black, one, and sanitarium
i don't have fade to black down yet. it's that one really fast part in the intro i don't have quite down, but almost. i can play the other two. i can't play the main sanitarium solo, it's pretty fast

[KILO5203]

yeah i have trouble with that same part in FTB. i can't play any main solos, just the intro ones. too fast

[btoto]

YES!!! I can finally play all of one! I could have just jacked off for a week straight...that'd make the alt. picking so much easier... but instead i just practiced for a long time, lol.

It's not that bad when you keep practicing it...

That's great ! congratulations on that man. I also learned that song but it was so long ago that I don't even know if I can play it the way I did. :upset:

BTW, can you play that melodic part in the middle??? the one that comes right before getting heavy.

I think it's impossible to make it sound right without second guitar. The only part I never bothered to learn

[Joe]

the melodic solo? i can play that. the part that i don't think ill memorize is right after the last chorus before the alt. picking

[btoto]

Not the melodic solo, I mean that part after last chorus and before the alt. pick. as you said.

I also never bothered to learn that

[Joe]

Not the melodic solo, I mean that part after last chorus and before the alt. pick. as you said.

I also never bothered to learn that

learn it. it can be played by only one guitar. it's fairly easy, i just learned it today. it's worth learning

[metallifan78]

hey is metallica gonna b on tour this year. i havent checked their site.

[Joe]

hey is metallica gonna b on tour this year. i havent checked their site.

I doubt it. Probably next year, after their new album comes out

[btoto]

learn it. it can be played by only one guitar. it's fairly easy, i just learned it today. it's worth learning

haha to tell you the truth, I don't learn "other" music anymore. I'm very much into writing my own stuff. Somehow, that hunger of learning all 'tallica albums disappeared.

But I'll look into it if you say it's OK to play that by one guitar.
Thanks a lot :thumb:

Thanks a lot :thumb:

Yea on the tab theres only one guitar part. I don't really learn much anymore, i've been writing a lot of my own stuff. I still learn Metallica because it's fun to play

[\m/Pete\m/]

so far the Metallica song im pretty bent on learing is Harvester of Sorrow..it took me the longest time to get that powerchord slide in the intro

its quick

[willis2441]

YES!!! I can finally play all of one! I could have just jacked off for a week straight...that'd make the alt. picking so much easier... but instead i just practiced for a long time, lol.

It's not that bad when you keep practicing it...
i can play all of one on the drums,it took me the longest time to get the double bass part,but i got it :thumb:

[Joe]

Hey gocaps99 this is just kind of a general question about the website..how much rep+ do you need to get one of those silver stars?

[willis2441]

Hey gocaps99 this is just kind of a general question about the website..how much rep+ do you need to get one of those silver stars?

[shadow_stalker]

1000 and 1000 posts

[willis2441]

1000 and 1000 posts
i thought it was 1500 posts and 1000 rep?for 4 stars?

[Joe]

Hey gocaps99 this is just kind of a general question about the website..how much rep+ do you need to get one of those silver stars?

1,000 posts and 1,000 reps = 3 stars
1,500 posts and 1,000 reps = 4 stars
mod = 5 stars

i've got almost 2,400 posts and 2,300 rep

(ps, to get more rep post a lot in the community thread :thumb: )

[munky_magik]

1,000 posts and 1,000 reps = 3 stars

You also need to have been a member for 90 days.
And whoring the community thread for rep is not a good idea as it is pissing everyone off, including Bartender.

[shadow_stalker]

i thought it was 1500 posts and 1000 rep?for 4 stars?

its 1000 posts and 1000 rep points for 3 stars, then 1500 posts and 1000 rep points for 4 stars

[Joe]

You also need to have been a member for 90 days.
And whoring the community thread for rep is not a good idea as it is pissing everyone off, including Bartender.

no im not talking about whoring, but usually people randomly rep the whole page or rep parties and stuff. not many people rep whore anymore

[willis2441]

Well now im completely out of ideas :lol:

[munky_magik]

That's because he has a negging power of around 250, give or take a few.

[shadow_stalker]

no im not talking about whoring, but usually people randomly rep the whole page or rep parties and stuff. not many people rep whore anymore

i did that a few times, i think i lost more rep than i gained :lol:

[munky_magik]

no im not talking about whoring, but usually people randomly rep the whole page or rep parties and stuff. not many people rep whore anymore
people whore that thread for rep.
It's almost as bad as the Stronghold now :-/

[Joe]

That's because he has a negging power of around 250, give or take a few.

how so? i heard somewhere you give or take about 2% of your own rep

[willis2441]

That's because he has a negging power of around 250, give or take a few.
yup,he has 5 stars,i would imagine his negging power is around there.

[munky_magik]

Well now im completely out of ideas :lol:
Be a regular, make good contributions to the site, and helpful,intelligent posts and your rep will go up.

[munky_magik]

Negitive repping is 1% of your total rep.
Positive repping is 2%

[willis2441]

Negitive repping is 1% of your total rep.
Positive repping is 2%
so he +reps around 500,right?

[Joe]

Negitive repping is 1% of your total rep.
Positive repping is 2%

wow so what does that mean bartender has?! like 25,000?

[munky_magik]

yup,he has 5 stars,i would imagine his negging power is around there.
Well, Mod's have 5 stars no matter what.
His negging power is around there because he has an awful lot of rep.

[munky_magik]

so he +reps around 500,right?
yep

[Joe]

yep

oh my god munky double posted!!!

lol, i dont care

so 'tender has like 25,000 rep

[Leper]

Be a regular, make good contributions to the site, and helpful,intelligent posts and your rep will go up.

I've tried that but there seem to be a lot of people who will neg rep u if they don't agree with your opinion, and i often stress that it's just my opinion.

[munky_magik]

oh my god munky double posted!!!

lol, i dont care

so 'tender has like 25,000 rep
three times on this page.
Something round about that, yeah

[munky_magik]

I've tried that but there seem to be a lot of people who will neg rep u if they don't agree with your opinion, and i often stress that it's just my opinion.
The majority of users who neg rep you for disagreeing with their opinion don't do very much damage.
Just stay around for a few months and thigns will get better.
And at least you should build up some rep of your own so that you can damage them.

[Joe]

I've tried that but there seem to be a lot of people who will neg rep u if they don't agree with your opinion, and i often stress that it's just my opinion.

well sometimes i do that, which is kinda stupid. i only do it if your opinion is completely stupid. but its an opinion, and no opinion is really stupid, so that's why i've cut down on neg repping people. i only neg rep opinions if someone for example comes in here and says "Metalica sucks!"

If people justify their opinion, and just don't mindlessly flame the band, it's fine by me.
Whereas if they start saying "this band is gay in my opinion" they get negged to ****.

[Joe]

repped + (last) page, which is like one or two ppl cuz ive given rep to munky and willis lately

[Leper]

Oh ya, and just to let you guys know, if you see me in the community thread, it doesn't mean i'm whoring for rep now, i've just never really checked it out before. I tend to spend most of my time in this thread unless i see another that interests me.

[munky_magik]

It's easy to tell the the rep whores.
They post things like "only need 200 mor erep to get to 5k" and "I just repped all you guys. Rep me back" or "let's start a rep party"

[Leper]

[Leper]

Anyways, back to Metallica. Umm what's everyone's favourite Metallica cover on Garage inc.? Mine's Turn the Page..i'd probably have a couple favourites but i lost my album a while ago and consequently haven't heard it in a while. Oh ya, the Wait is a good one too.

[shadow_stalker]

Blitzkrieg, that song rocks :thumb:

[shadow_stalker]

Damage case and stone dead forever are very good, never heard the motorhead origionals of them (there is another motorhead but i can't remember what it is called).

Lately i have been getting into breadfan (since i got live **** really), it's such a cool song.

i like turn the page, am i evil, and whiskey in the jar

[Joe]

I got tired of Whisky in the jar pretty quickly

I like it. The only song by Metallica I get sick of is Enter Sandman

[Thor]

I got sick of the Black album as a whole, but especially Enter Sandman.
*doesnt like Enter Sandman that much either*

The only other song I dont really like that much anymore is "Fuel" because I heard the Avril Lavigne cover of it and practically cried.

I know this sounds wierd, but I must say "Thuesday's Gone"...

[Huber]

My favorite cover on Garage Inc. is Stone Cold Crazy.

[Pisungen]

Oh ye and talking about cover... Who do you think have done the best Metallica cover? I think it's Prototype!

[fenderbender89]

[willis2441]

I dont know why they would bother, theres already a whole load of "tribute" albums, which are like best of albums
yea,but that not metallica!

[willis2441]

Thats true, I listened to one of these tribute albums and some band had done a death metal version of Damage Inc. It was terrible.
death metal and 'tallica isnt a good mix

[Joe]

I dont know why they would bother, theres already a whole load of "tribute" albums, which are like best of albums

The Metallica versions are much better

[clown_phobia]

Has anyone heard Metallica's cover of 53rd & 3rd by the Ramones?

[Joe]

Has anyone heard Metallica's cover of 53rd & 3rd by the Ramones?
I'm afraid to. I don't think the Ramones have the skill to cover a Metallica song...

[Burdcheese]

I have.
I didn't think it was anything special. I much preferred the Garage Inc. covers


edit: gocaps - its a Metallica cover of the Ramones

[willis2441]

And I heard there is going to be a hip-hop tribute to Metallica :angry: and not just of songs from 1991-2005 also some real classics. I can't believe they are gonna let them butcher songs like Sanitarium, Master of Puppets and Seek & destroy :evil:

[Po0sH]

Well that is what happens when you become this famous.

[willis2441]

Oh man I hope Metallica sues them.
123.we cant let chingy,p.diddy,and snopp dogg ruin the fine art of metallica!

[clown_phobia]

You can't sue someone for covering your songs if they pay you royalties.

[clown_phobia]

I don't think so.

[Mister_Che]

As long as you dan't make a profit from the covers (i.e. put them on an album) you dont need permission.

[JH LU KH RT]

As long as you dan't make a profit from the covers (i.e. put them on an album) you dont need permission.

well yeah obviously u can cover songs live.

[willis2441]

As long as you dan't make a profit from the covers (i.e. put them on an album) you dont need permission.
so i couls just go out there and cover some random band and make money if i cut them some?

[clown_phobia]

As long as you pay songwriting royalties, you can release a cover. You just have to pay a royalty to the songwriter.

[Whale and Wasp]

i think metallica will definatly come out with a best of cd,anyone?

¿que?

[opeth_oasis]

so i couls just go out there and cover some random band and make money if i cut them some?

yes, but its better to write your own stuff, it gives you better respect and lots more money (if you want to play for money)

[Thor]

did you notice all of they're cds have at least 2 good songs?
Well this is the case most of the time. I wasnt fond of St. Anger or Reload that much. But Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice, Black Album, and Kill Em All are all insanely awesome. I like prety much every song off of those (minus Enter Sandman).

I think it's probably the community thread, aka everything you never wanted to know about sex but forced to find out. it's like 1200 pages or something. classic rock also has a lot of pages.

[clown_phobia]

the pop punk community thread has heaps of pages too

[Joe]

Once every 2 pages at least there seems to be some jabroni who comes on and mindlessly flames metallica, then we never hear from him again..

Everyone has different tastes. this just happens to be the place where metallica fans discuss metallica.

Has anyone got that Metallica tribute cd? I was just wondering if any of the covers on it are any good.

Ive heard a one minute sample of Dark Angel's cover of Creeping Death and it sounds about a thousand times heavier.

Hey this thread is almost at 600 pages. What the highest in all of musician forums anyone know?

The guitar stronghold.

<100 000 posts

[Josh]

600 pages is a big thread...

[btoto]

It's not 600 yet

[Joe]

It's not 600 yet

No, but it's about to be

Yeah it is, filter out the rubbish, and there is a load of info on Metallica.

True, but no one wants to filter out the rubbish. so that's why we always seem to repeat topics...

there's a thread now that asks what songs you never get sick of. so how about metallica songs, i never get sick of fade to black

[btoto]

No, but it's about to be

You can't know what can happen to you in next few minutes...


*pushes the red button, lauches the missle*

[btoto]

I can get sick of any 'tallica song. I need to forget about a certain song for a while to miss it and love again.

[btoto]

Of course they don't, it's just a lot depends on mood

[DARKanima]

Cliff Burton is the best bassist ever... let's hear some talk about him.

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Cliff Burton is the best bassist ever... let's hear some talk about him.

Not by a long shot. He was good, though.

[metalfan08]

For Whom the Bell Tolls is an awesome song. I like how it starts out with the hells bells and the high notes on the the guitar, and then starts getting into some low chords, then goes to the main part of the song.

Dont we all? Its one of the most simplistic songs ever, but it makes me want to headbang every time I hear it.

[Thor]

Well said. Rep from me.

Ok thanks, i love it already!!! lol
I have heard rumours that Metallica are making a new album and it is too be realeased this summer, but i have also heard that it will not be new material because Jaymez is quite worried about writing music from scratch....
So they are doing something like basing the next album off s.t Anger

Just rumours though, anyone else heard anything like that????
i think i got it from allmetallica.com

[Six Foot Revolver]

I heard they're releasing a new album but that is it

[LarsAgi007]

I doubt James would worry about writting new material.


Thats what i thought, But on Some kinda monster Jaymez did say he hates the way he is rarely inspired and it makes him kinda feel guilty, he never seems to get syked about new material now grrr lol

[Six Foot Revolver]

I still haven't seen SKOM I really need to watch it

[Rasta Rocker]

Are they touring this year...cause I didnt get to see them when they came last May...

[Six Foot Revolver]

[LarsAgi007]

I think most of the song is easy in drums because its slow, i have covered it a lot, but it seems to be nice and slow, until the double bass kicks come in, then the sweat starts pouring lol..... Then just as you think its all over you get triplets on the snare, which just kill you lol..... I once made my band play Green day - Time of your life after it just so i could recover lol...... And no i cannot play Dyers eve lmao

[KillemAllforOne83]

I love Fade to Blacks lyrics.

[Joe]

I love Fade to Blacks lyrics.
greatest song ever. the lyrics are really good

[metal_milita]

Wow, this thread is out of control, and not because people are post-whoring, but because so many new people are becoming regulars. Thats a pretty good sign.
But god, last time I remembered I was a part of the conversation was 20 pages ago (you post whores ;)) so I'm just going to randomly start off.
Anyways, lots of old topics are being brought back to life with the influx of new posters, so thats gonna make this pretty dead for a while (for me) with the "best CD," "best cover" etc.
To amuse myself, I'm gonna bring up a human interest topic that deals with opinions, instead of the "best/worst" kind.
How many people can really say Lars is a bad guy? Honestly, if someone were to ask me, I'd say hes up there (points high) in the top 10 most brutually honest people (something IMO should be encouraged, not condemed) and usually provides good explanations/justifications for things. Why he is hated so badly I do not understand. There was a point where people were wetting themselves at the thought of getting him replaced.
Lars is the reason Metallica exists, and survived.
Not many people know it, but Lars is the train behind the monster Metallica that keeps pushing it forward, while not bitching about it like some tedious chore. People do not appreciate him because he is not a narcisst freak always talking about himself and his accomplishments. His badass image is all the people can see of him because of how he will not let the camera's pry into him.
People need to see things clearer...

[supra_speed]

^^ I agree :)

[PepsiMetal]

I agree with metal militia. One day we have this discussion that Im involved in, and next day I come and it's 20 pages back. That kinda sucks. You just forget about it and start something else. I guess thats the only thing to do.

I actually like lars and his drumming fits metallica perfectly imo. Plus his little mind discussions on SKOM were pretty lame. "Lately I've been saying word fock too much, I dont know why, fock, fock, fock, fock, see?" lol. It was something like that. Although I did laugh, it wasn't that important imo.

[Huber]

Lars is a good performer. Good person, but don't think he sees how he acts.

[Ibanex0110]

I agree that Lars is really a good person. I think that he does act a little "rich" at times, but meh, I prolly would too. I can't say I agree with the whole Napster thing, but I do see where he is coming from, and don't blame him. I think he is the perfect drummer for Metallica, performance wise, and as a person

[willis2441]

lyrics eh?

i like to live or to die (that's what it's called right? the instrumental, sorta, about cliff)?? the poem in the middle is by cliff andit's like straight from the heart. i also like one, those are some great lyrics
cliff made that up

[appreciate_it]

he is such a dick. My mate has SKOM on DVD. Kirk has his 40th birthday and everyone is in good spirit, then Lars is saying all this **** and he is NOT joking, all seriousness, no one is laughing, (not even him) and he dampens the whole birthday for kirk. "why don't people do this for me?"
James leaving the band for a year or so was becuase of Lars too. he is such an arogant little **** whit. Hate him so much. As a person.
He is a good "Producer?" you know what i mean, arranger and has a good ear for music definatly, but he is a **** sucker...
Hes not goina get his gold plated shark tank for another two months!! haha....

[clown_phobia]

No one is perfect man. If Lars was a good producer/good schemer (his skill at getting gigs/name) and a good guy in general, wouldn't he just take over the world instead of being a drummer?
We all have our flaws, and like I said, Lars is brutally honest. I love it when people do that because you can tell that they are not fake at all. They tell you the problem upfront in a very in your face way, because in the end, no matter how much you mask and pretty up the truth, its the same thing. They are not scared to follow their principles and ethics, or to NOT conform to society.

HE IS HIMSELF, 100%! More than I can say for most people (and sadly myself)
If he loves money, he doesn't need someone to analyze his character. He'll yell it in your ear. If he has a change of principles or ethics (videos), he'll say it loud and clear that he has changed his ways. If he thinks that people over-analyze their songs way too much (One, Enter Sandman), then he'll say it in an interview and laugh about it.

Obviously, since this is "condemed" by society, most people will think hes a dick for it.
Just because I admire his truthfullness and his integrity doesn't mean I agree with him, or that I think his princples/ethics to begin with are wrong. Thats a different topic. My point is that hes a man enough to stick to them, rich or poor, thick or thin.

[metal_milita]

this thread is dyin,what is your favorite solo from cliff?mine is the one in orion
Only if everyone keeps talking about "best/worst/top5/bottom5/most interesting/most meaningful songs." There is WAY more to talk about Metallica than just their song lists.

trust me,i have mastered the sound of lars' snare,i know what it sounds like,that wasnt it

[btoto]

Lars is the reason it all started. So, hating him is a bit rude. He might be a wanker but who cares unless he writes good music???

And so many people said that Lars is a bad drummer. He might be one (I don't know, I play geeeeetar) but people have to realise that compared to other drummers he's also a very good composer. And he's been fronting the band since day one.

So, those who insult him.........PLEASE DIE !
