*1500th post*

No, it gives you an oppurtunity to read biased polls and learn Blink 182 songs. Its hardly in depth, and there is a perfectly good website right here (mxtabs.net)


Now back to Metallica:
Who's seeing them this year? I was going to goto Download, but found out its 3day only, so I'd have to pay to see Linkin Park.

[Toozey]

I just saw this on metontour

MetOnTour (2/23/2004 8:54 PM)
Holy ****ing ****, this is ****ing AWESOME.....

Me thinky Metallica are playing Dyers Eve.

[Squirrel]

^ I'm seeing Metallica live this year; Download and maybe Paris ( i think it was Paris we organised ).

[davey]

im going to see them march 8th..... i think thats the right date

[RideTheSpiral]

So Metallica ay.

[superpeer]

So Metallica ay.


Let's talk about Metallica.


What is your favourite, ummm, Metallica cd cover? :eek:

Mine is RTL.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Master of Puppets could be a work of art,with all the symbolism etc.,like the puppet strings attatched to the war graves beinf pulled by 'godlike' hands,and the setting sun in the background showing the sun setting on 'just another' set of war casualties.I think it suits the album perfectly.

[Hatebreed_Chick]

How do the Metallica fans in here feel about St.Anger? Liking it or disappointed?

[Metallicat]

Dissapointed? Yes. Like it? Yes.

[Hatebreed_Chick]

I've found that the case with a lot of big Metallica fans. Personally, I was truly disappointed...The lack of lead was a big let down...But it's one of those things that has to grow on you. The guys were trying something different and I respect them for that. There is also the fact that no matter what Metallica puts out, they will still be successful because their fans are going to appreciate them no matter what.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

This has been discussed in many a thread,but I reckon it comes down to the fact that it is good album that is a HUGE improvement on the Load-era.It was let down by a bad mix,a lack of solos and a spot of poor track editing,but nevertheless it is a decent album.It has, however, split the fans right down the middle, and half despise the band and label it nu-metal, wheras the other half respoect Metallicas new direction and welcome the fact that they are getting back to playing older stuff live.There's a funny spoof of St.Anger on a page somwhere on rock & metal.

[Metallica857]

As A Metallica album I'm sure it's still decent.

[Jon]

Metallicat said it best.

As an album it was great.

As a Metallica album it was terrible.

[davey]

i personnaly liked it alot

[davey]

Metallicat said it best.

As an album it was great.

As a Metallica album it was terrible.
good thinking

[Metallicat]

Metallicat said it best.

As an album it was great.

As a Metallica album it was terrible.

Agreed. :chug:

[Kickflip_Burrito]

St Anger is great album, just not as good as all of the other Metallica albums

[Kickflip_Burrito]

On the topic of St Anger, whats everyone's favourtie song off the album?

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Metallicat said it best.

As an album it was great.

As a Metallica album it was terrible.

It wasn't a terrible Metallica album.Load is a terrible Metallica album.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

I like ost of them actually,though Invisble Kid is pretty poor,and Shoot Me Again and My World aren't fantastic.I'd probably say Dirty Window,The Unnamed Feeling and All Within My Hands.

[davey]

On the topic of St Anger, whats everyone's favourtie song off the album?
probably st anger or dirty window

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Yeh I agree, St. Anger, Dirty Window and Frantic for me :thumb:

[superpeer]

Unnamed feeling or St. anger

[Hitroshimite]

Dirty Window or Sweet Amber.

[sacrifice93.2]

The Unnamed Feeling, cause it's the only good song.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

St. Anger because of the build up onthe first minute of the song and the main riff itself.

Frantic because of the speed and the originality of the main riff.

The unnamed feeling, don't have any reason I just like that one.

[Burdcheese]

Some Kind of Monster or The Unnamed Feeling.

(Though I actually like the album as a whole)

[RockerGav]

My favourite off St Anger would have to be

FRANTIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC TIC toc

[Burdcheese]

^^

Some remixes just get out of hand

[seamos5000]

[b] I Think The Unnamed Feeling Is The Best Song On The Whole Cd But I Like The Cd I Dont See Why A Lot Of People Were Downing It. The Only Song I Dont Like Is Purify!

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Why is it that a lot of people don't like St.Anger(the song).

[superpeer]

People don't like the singing on it , I guess.

[FACELESSnotBASSLESS]

Faceless:
Hugh Grant? What are you smoking?

Morning Glory:
I'm no bassist. Newsted was indeed a twat. Even MonkeyMan is cooler than him (Newsted didn't even look comical on stage).

Squirrel:
I know what they're playing nowadays...Lets not forget I was second row on the 20/12. We got an incredible setlist I thought (Go back maybe 30 pages and I did a review of the gig).

My bad. Lloyd Grant was the first Metallica guitarist... I don't know what I was thinking.

[Metallica857]

Ah, I believe they just think it is too Nu-Metalish.

[Metallicat]

It's hard not to like Nu-Metal when you grow up listening to it. It's mainly because of the rock radio stations, they play a lot of Nu-Metal.

I'm not sure why people hate Nu-Metal bands, not just dislike, hate. I can understand them hating all the 'alternative' or whatever you call them bands that come out like Puddle of Mudd and Fuel and all the other bands that sound like them.

Edit: i'm not sure if that made sense, i had a point somewhere in there. whether it made sense i'm not sure but i'm so ****ing tired right now.

[Metallica857]

I hate stuff like 3 days grace, Smile Empty SOul, etc, which I consider Nu-Metal. I'm not a fan of Nickelback or Puddle of Mudd really, but I'm a huge Fuel fan.

[Metallicat]

I hate stuff like 3 days grace, Smile Empty SOul, etc, which I consider Nu-Metal. I'm not a fan of Nickelback or Puddle of Mudd really, but I'm a huge Fuel fan.

Yea, talk about being overplayed....and you can just forget what i said about
Fuel then. :smoke:

[artificial infection]

Why is it that a lot of people don't like St.Anger(the song).


I thought some people didn't like it because:

1) no solos
2) Some people thought the singing
3) Repeatitive

Well i think it grows on you after a while, and i think it's not that bad. People expected more out of it after like listening to their previous albums, and the black album.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

St.Anger should have had a slow-ish solo working its way up the scale,alongside the 'madly in anger with you' rhythm part,instead of repeating itself for the third time.

[davey]

Why is it that a lot of people don't like St.Anger(the song).
I like it

[superpeer]

I like it as well, it's just cool not to like it these days. :rolleyes:

[Elder]

St. Anger was a good album, people just built up built up their expectation and thought it would be the best album ever, but when it came out they were disapointed because it didn't live up to what they expected.

[Metallicat]

It's sad how much people take stabs at Metallica for being such a big target. Of course it's easy to say **** about Metallica, they are so famous and popular. People hate them JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE METALLICA. I know a kid at my school who likes Metallica, used to be their favorite band, and now after the release of St. Anger he doesn't even care for Metallica anymore. He knows I love them so he probly just thinks they're too overrated, and yes, he is one of the posers that think it's cool to be underground. But yet he likes Nu-Metal, i just want to shoot the kid in the ****ing head!

[xicosilva]

which is the effect used on the 2 little solos from "For Whom The Bell Tolls"

[Metallicat]

Kirk uses a whammy bar in those solos. :)

[xicosilva]

amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

master of puppets
fade to black
the one
enter sandman
the unforgivin

i know there is more, those are just the ones im familiar with:)

How abut:
For whom the bell tolls
the four horsemen
whiplash
harvester of sorrow
...and so on

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Buy all their albums because each one is full of brilliant songs!!Apart from Load,which only has about 4 good songs on it(which are the 4 on S&M anyway).

[seamos5000]

What Do You Guys Think Metallica's Best Solo Is? I Happen To Like The One From Fade To Black At The End.it Isnt Their Hardest But It Sounds Great.what Are Your Opinions?

[Squirrel]

I love them all but Unforgiven II is my favorite of today.

Why are you capitalising every first letter of your words seamos.. ?

[superpeer]

Four Horsemen has a great solo as well.

[dougefresh]

Typing with all your words capatilized isn't making you sound smart :rolleyes:

I like Creeping Death's solo, and Seek and Destroy

[axemanironmaiden]

Might be a cliche but my fave is puppets solo

[Kickflip_Burrito]

The solos to Battery, Dyer's Eve, Ride The Lightning and Blackened are my faves, they are amazing!

[Burdcheese]

[cb_drummer@hotmail.com]

Alrite whats the hardest Metallica song to play on guitar????

[superpeer]

Dyers eve

[shadow_stalker]

from my experience i would say that dyers eve is the hardest (keep in mind that i havnt tried much 'tallica so there is probably harder ones)

[Kickflip_Burrito]

the tab for The Call of Ktulu looks really tricky

[davey]

Has anybody seen/got live **** binge and purge

[greg939]

Live **** is awesome pick it up!

[Cort2003]

Metalica BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[halfdeadhippo]

^ very insightful.

As for the hardest Metallica song to play, I've always found Battery to be difficult, simply because I can't do the galloping rhythm thing.

EDIT: spelling

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yes, i've seen Live ****, binge and purge. Yes, it is well worth the money.

[lzcharvel]

amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

Sad but true is awsome

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Battery on S&M is sweet as hell, but what other songs do you reckon would work well weith the orchestra? I reckon Harvester of Sorrow and Phantom Lord.

[the elf from lord of the rings]

does anyone have the and justice for all official tab book for one. if so could you kindly send it to me via e-mail.

[davey]

Live **** is awesome pick it up!
I already have it!
Whats everybodys favourite DVD disc: San diego or seattle? I prefer san diego cos its like 3 hours!

[davey]

Im going to see metallica on march 8th so i'll post a review and setlist probably the next day. Is anybody else seeing them on their current tour?

[Jon]

Did December 20th count as current?

[Bomsen]

Battery on S&M is sweet as hell, but what other songs do you reckon would work well weith the orchestra? I reckon Harvester of Sorrow and Phantom Lord.


Fade to black

[Joeeddstealschickens]

I wouldn't mind hearing I Dissappear live,whether on an S&M style record or not.

[Squirrel]

^ I've got a video of I Disappear live - search on Kazaa.

[DimebagDarrell]

anyone goin to see metallica at download festival at donny? cauz thats the only reason im goin [well machine head as well]

[Squirrel]

Yup i believe im offto Download :thumb:, no day tickets though apparently :(

[DimebagDarrell]

Yup i believe im offto Download :thumb:, no day tickets though apparently :(

thats a bit stupid innit
o well i will just go for both days is that 85quid for 2 days?

[davey]

Did December 20th count as current?
It'll do. You're english right? So was that in london or somewhere?

[davey]

i read that for this current tour they have a new stage setup and its in the centre of the arena floor with the crowd around the outside, ya'know kind of like on the cunning stunts dvd. That sucks :upset:
Im seeing them in sf on the 8th of march so if anybody is going before me can they tell me if this is true and what it was like?

[Crocto]

us yanks are still waiting for east coast dates. i saw them live in 98 it was freaking awesomel best concert i've ever seen.

[Jon]

Yup i believe im offto Download :thumb:, no day tickets though apparently :(
I can't decide if hearing Dyer's Eve is worth £90. I'd love to see them again, but not if you can only get weekend tickets.

*Hopes they'll play Reading*

It'll do. You're english right? So was that in london or somewhere?

Yup. London. Earls Court. Got there at 2 to queue and was SECOND ROW [/retelling of story for 42nd time]

[davey]

youre lucky being second row! ive had to wait since last summer to see them here in the states.

[Jon]

But waiting for 5 hours on a concrete floor is soooooooooooooooooo boring...

[Squirrel]

o well i will just go for both days is that 85quid for 2 days?

90 quid methinks; there'll be lots of good bands there besides Metallica but theyre my main reason in going.

[davey]

But waiting for 5 hours on a concrete floor is soooooooooooooooooo boring...
but being second row is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

[Squirrel]

I got to the front at Leeds in about 2 hours :cool:

[blimps2002]

i just saw metallica last night. they were awesome!

[xtreme_skatah]

Who can play Battery? I'm gonna learn it soon so I wanna know some stuff about it like how hard it is or something.

[DimebagDarrell]

90 quid methinks; there'll be lots of good bands there besides Metallica but theyre my main reason in going.

yeh same here i would like to see machine head as well tho
but i wanted to go asoon as a saw metallica in big letters headlining ;)

[DimebagDarrell]

Who can play Battery? I'm gonna learn it soon so I wanna know some stuff about it like how hard it is or something.

I have only tried the intro acoustice bit so far the rest is full of tricky triplets

[Jon]

Who can play Battery? I'm gonna learn it soon so I wanna know some stuff about it like how hard it is or something.

Why not try it? Its not hard.

[KirkIsKing]

Why not try it? Its not hard.

Well i find it hard. but i have been playing for only bout 5 months without a single lesson. if i try hard enuff i can play it. i have played it once before(minus the solo) All of the metallica solo's sound near impossible for me to play. i guess that just means i suck eh?

[Crocto]

i've been playing for 4 years and i can play maybe 4 or 5 metallica solos. of course i only get to play like 10 minutes a week.

[KirkIsKing]

i can play alot of the rhythm guitar parts for metallica. just not the faster solos. i can get the slower ones pretty good though. like the first 2 in one and first solo on fade to black.

[kickflipskaterguitarist]

Personally i think Fade to black is metallicas best song-----along with master of puppets and sanitarium. The one thing I want to know, Is Metallica going to bring out another album?
I hope they do but st anger was definatly thier worst(although it was mad it was no match for thier old stuff)
Does anyone know?

[Steve M.]

IN FULL!!!!!!!!

[KirkIsKing]

im curious as to why them playing dyers eve is such a big thing?

[Burdcheese]

Well Its supposedly ridiculously hard*, and they don't do it very often.

*According to a drum tab i read it has a 14 tom roll

[KirkIsKing]

i know nothing bout drums man. is 14 tom roll alot or what?

[Metallica857]

LIVE METALLICA DOWNLOADS

I'd reccomend that any Metallica fan go to www.livemetallica.com, it's completely authorized by Lars.

[Squirrel]

^ Not a bad price for the amazing set lists :)

[KirkIsKing]

http://www.metallica1.com/media/dyers_eve_live.mp3


theres a working dyers eve live link if u want it...
i think it works neways

[Burdcheese]

i know nothing bout drums man. is 14 tom roll alot or what?

Your standard drum kit has 3 toms.
An average metal kit has 6

14 is a lot

[DimebagDarrell]

Your standard drum kit has 3 toms.
An average metal kit has 6

14 is a lot


Wo i know nothing about drums either but thats a lot!! :amaze:

[DimebagDarrell]

who has 14 toms?

Lars in Dyers Eve

[SlaveToTheGrind]

haha no. lars isn't good enough to play with 14 toms.

[KirkIsKing]

ok thanks for clearing that up... i also think lars isnt good enuff to play 14 toms. maybe Bonham...

[Joeeddstealschickens]

*Hopes they'll play Reading*

me too

Who can play Battery? I'm gonna learn it soon so I wanna know some stuff about it like how hard it is or something.

me

I can play alot of the rhythm guitar parts for metallica. just not the faster solos. i can get the slower ones pretty good though. like the first 2 in one and first solo on fade to black.

Thats about how good i am,I've been playing for about 2 yrs.

[KirkIsKing]

really? ive been playing for about 6 months. i think i should have started playing something a little easier...

[SlaveToTheGrind]

ok thanks for clearing that up... i also think lars isnt good enuff to play 14 toms. maybe Bonham...
yeah or dave lombardo

[Joeeddstealschickens]

I started on Blink covers in my band,so i've really only got better as the band got better (we were all f**king useless whan we started).I've been mainly concetrated on my songwriting,which is pretty **** good,even if I do say so myself!But if you want to start out on Metallica songs then good luck to you,it could well push your ability to develop quicker than the fretboard majesty of Tom DeLonge did for me!

[jono1]

metallica rules

[SlaveToTheGrind]

no. metallica ruled

[superpeer]

The earlier albums still exist , so Metallica still rules.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

metallica ruled, then they released Load, now they rule again

[blacklock]

i like 'one'. yep.

[manuscriptreplica]

why aren't people using this thread>? jeez theres like 5 metallica threads in the first page arghhhh we're being overrun by metallica!!!


POST HERE


*bump*

[xtreme_skatah]

Does anyone know, when Metallica play Blackened, do they actually play the intro? I read somewhere how Kirk said it was hard to recreate the solo in Blackened.

[superpeer]

Yeah they play it.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

metallica will rule again when they release another great trash album

[Squirrel]

Does anyone know, when Metallica play Blackened, do they actually play the intro? I read somewhere how Kirk said it was hard to recreate the solo in Blackened.

Most of the time, no, they play it over the speakers like Battery.

[Burdcheese]

Has anyone used www.livemetallica.com (http://www.livemetallica.com)?

[Crocto]

Does anyone know, when Metallica play Blackened, do they actually play the intro? I read somewhere how Kirk said it was hard to recreate the solo in Blackened.

not the solo. the intro to blackened is several layered guitars all playing a riff backwards. so i don't even know if you could play that live.

also on battery james uses a nylon acoustic. can't really fill the medowlands with a nylon acoustic.

[davey]

If they play that set list in Peoria, it will oficially be the second best concert I have ever been to. (The first is a tie between Anthrax in Chicago, or Megadeth in Chicago)

[LeadGuitarist]

I really like it when Hetfield sing the solo in MOP.

[xtreme_skatah]

What does Hetfield sing in the solo? Never been to a Metallica concert so I don't know anything they do.

[RNR]

I really like it when Hetfield sing the solo in MOP.


Which solo? The first one which is beautiful and well time or the second one which is a fast piece of crap and is completely unnecessary? The first one right?

[vegiemaster]

I have a Metallica question. What does the S & M stand for on their live cd? Personally I think it stands for San Francisco Symphony Orchestra & Metallica, but my youth pastor thinks it stands for sadomasochism I realize that it is abreviate like this but is that something that was done intentionally? :confused: Does anyone have a way to prove or disprove either? Any facts would be nice, thanks. (Forgive me. I don't normally post this formally.) :rolleyes:

[Lionheart1827]

he just does "ooooohhhs" singing along to the first interlude solo to MoP. it sounds great when he does it. he did it over the summer. :thumb:

No i'm a guy! why did ya ask

[superpeer]

I have a Metallica question. What does the S & M stand for on their live cd? Personally I think it stands for San Francisco Symphony Orchestra & Metallica, but my youth pastor thinks it stands for sadomasochism I realize that it is abreviate like this but is that something that was done intentionally? :confused: Does anyone have a way to prove or disprove either? Any facts would be nice, thanks. (Forgive me. I don't normally post this formally.) :rolleyes:

:lol: Sadomasochism would have been a good title.

Yeah it's symphony and Metallica.

[ydebing]

I went to a metallica concert a few months ago, it was really asome. They played guitar solos in some st anger songs (frantic i think), it was like with the solo, the song was kinda perfect, have any of you heard that? and did you think about it?

[vegiemaster]

thx guys now i can tell him that i was told by "reliable sources" ;) what it ment :thumb:

[DonMancini]

Hey guys, I just learned that Metallica is coming here in October :D I'm so happy, can't wait to see them again. I hope I get floor tickets.

[Burdcheese]

--Bump--

Wow - played Dyers Eve twice now - think its going to become a "concert favourite"?

[metallicaman21]

I am goin to thier concert on March 30th... they are my favorite band.. i cant wait

[RareMana]

i'm goin on the 26th. Its gonna be a gong show.

[presa_tito]

I don't feel like reading all the posts in this thread, so I'm wondering how iron maiden got into metallica. Anyway, I've always had this feeling that iron maiden was sort of the first band of its kind. I also think megadeth sounds quite a lot like them. So this makes me wonder if maiden was a big influence on megadeth. Megadeth to me sounds like a more modern maiden sound. I like it a little more, but they are both SWEET!

AHAHA! Iron Maiden got into METALLICA?! Metallica got into Iron Maiden.... Maiden had already released their 4. album by the time metallica released their first... Lars was a big fan of NWOBM, wich iron maiden at that time where leading.... hope i make my self clear....

[extreme_191]

It's good to see Blackened and Fight Fire With Fire being played in concert. But I agree with earlier posters, Four Horsemen would be sweet. Has anyone seen them perform Orion,To Live Is To Die,..And Justice For All, Frayed Ends Of Sanity, or Shortest Straw. For I haven't seen or heard of those tracks being played. I assume that those songs would be much more complex to perform than the others, excluding Battery, One,ect. but what do I know. Anyways, I'm seeing them in 2 weeks and I can't wait

[Gernm18]

yeah i wish they played to live is to die that'd be really interesting to see

[Kirk's Puppet]

Go to www.metmp3.com if you want some of their live mp3 bootlegs. Cliff's first show is available there, too.

You can hear James sing MoP's first solo in Roskilde's MoP.

Because dave from megadeth (guitar/vocals) came from Metallica maybe? ;)

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Four Horsemen would be sweet

there was a live 4 horsemen on the Unnamed feeling EP a while back,wasn't there? I know they played that at their French shows last year.

When playing FFWF do they skip the intro. you know the melody thingy.
I would like to see To live is to die played live also. It would be so nice...

[when_im_gone]

all right im sure im ging to get plenty of respnoses sayin they suck. But in my opinion ireally like those albums. Sure tehy are very differnet from their first 4 (they were amazing cd's) but loa d and reaload have their own magic tothem to me i get a old vintage roick n roll sound something we dont really ahve any more and yes i knkw the cds are old but i jsut got both like4 days ago and they really are good. Tell me your opinion? :wave:

[slashjunior]

Better than St Anger.

I liked the albums and I don't think they were selling out. Subpar Metallica though compared to the earlier albums but still good albums though.

[ViperXX55]

Yeah, theyre good albums.
Nothing near as good as Puppetz/Lightning/Justice, but theyre good for what they are.
Reload isnt as good as Load though....
St Anger however, is a pile of crap.

[Berner]

I liked em. They are what got me interested in Metallica and playing guitar.

[thrashfanatic2010]

they're not bad,but compared to st anger, load and reload look like master of puppets

[slashjunior]

they're not bad,but compared to st anger, load and reload look like master of puppets

Says someone with the words "Thrash" and "Frantic" in their name...:p

[TomHimself]

Fanatic! Not Frantic!

[SlaveToTheGrind]

his name is trashfanatic not trashfrantic

[slashjunior]

his name is trashfanatic not trashfrantic

Hehe. Sorry :lol:

[SlaveToTheGrind]

that's ok :wave: :lol:

[TheUnavoidable]

Load 0wnz. Fantastic album.

Reload doesn't own as much, but still has some fantastic songs on it.

[when_im_gone]

To me "Cure" on Load is bad azz song it has a real good intro i love it sounds really ol time classic roick with a metal make over sound lol (it sounded funny in my head)

[davey]

I liked them both. Not as good as st anger though....

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Load and ReLoad are both quality albums. Both albums have some great songs on them but then they have the songs that aren't too good to cancel off the good songs.

[slashjunior]

that's ok :wave: :lol:

Thanks man. I feel loved :)

[ViperXX55]

his name is trashfanatic not trashfrantic

Er... his name is actually.... Thrashfanatic
hehe, I win you all :)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

haven't i said his name is trashfanatic?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Thanks man. I feel loved :)
hehe :naughty:

[TheTrooperOfTheBeast]

I've only heard Load, but what I heard was okay. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone just getting into Metallica though.

[xDeViAnTx]

Reload is the album which introduced me to metal a whole. I hardly listen to it anymore, but will still go back to it every once in a while.

[trem7]

does anyone know the chord formations for the clean part of master of puppets? if there is any

because i have a live video of them playing and i see james with his hand barely moving (left) but he is picking and i wanted to know if anyone knows the formations? and can post them

thanks if you can

ps or pm me them

[halfdeadhippo]

I don't really like Reload all that much, but Load is a great album.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Evewryone here seems to like load and reload,but here goes..........I've posted my reviews of the albums here.They are also on amazon.com under Joe.I would re-review them but im lazy.

Load

'Load' is a bad album of bad songs.This would get 1 star, but it's saving grace is 'The Outlaw Torn' and 'Bleeding Me',thus it gets 2 stars for these songs, which are addmitedly brilliant. It's lyrically,musically,and idea-wise (it's a bunch of rock ballads for christs sake!) a bad album. It is uninspired,plodding drivel and should be forgotten about. I respect Metallica for having the gall to change direction so sharply,but they seem to have forgotten what made them special in the first place,i.e being a metal band.It's depressing that a band can progress from starting thrash metal to being a dull mainstream rock band,in about a decade. If you want a '90s (studio) album by Metallica then get 'Metallica' or 'ReLoad'.Anything but this.

ReLoad

I got this and 'Load' for Christmas,so I decided to come and finish my Metallica album reviews.I was genuinely surprised, as what I'd heard off the album ('The Memory Remains', and 'Fuel', 'The Memory Remains', and 'Devil's Dance' on 'S&M') was awful.But this is better than 'Load'.It is heavier and weirder, and I personaly prefer it to 'St.Anger' and '...And Justice For All'.It has a kind of groove, and is the only album where Newstead seems comfortable in his role.I still prefer their pre-1994 work, where they live up to their name and are a metal band, but this album is pretty good, and it would get a higher rating if it wasn't by METAL-lica.That said, 'Fuel' sounds good here, also worth a mention are 'Prince Charming', 'Where the Wild Things are', 'Unforgiven II' and 'Fixxer'.The best on the album is probably 'Fuel'.I also think that if 'No Leaf Clover' was on here it would be so much better, and the song would fit right in.The lyrics are the best thing here, probably the best since 'Master Of Puppets'.Anyway, I like 'ReLoad', and it has a quirky charm about it.

it is inevitable that there will be a million things in there you don't agree with,but it is my opinion,which i am entitled to.Thats my thoughts,now you can continue saying how good Load is.

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Its along that majestic Em chord, I think.

[trem7]

lol the Em chord eh? well it would help if i knew chords lol i'll try looking in my chord dictionary its like 16 pages of chords so it might take a while to find the right one. oh thanks a lot too :)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

the majestic em :lol: i guess it's E7 or Em7

[when_im_gone]

Reload is good as well one of my fav songs is Unforgiven II (I heard on their new album the last song of that series is suppoesd to come out "Finally Forgiven") but yeah i like many of hte songs on it like fuel, untill it sleeps, The memory remains, Well the whole cd. LOL. Yes we know those slbums were drastic changes from there regualr formual of fast paced metal followed by the face melting solo ( i watched School of rock yesterday) but yeah anyas people change anf they are people

[SlaveToTheGrind]

lol the Em chord eh? well it would help if i knew chords lol i'll try looking in my chord dictionary its like 16 pages of chords so it might take a while to find the right one. oh thanks a lot too :)
if you've found the chord post it here ok? :) thanks

[trem7]

uh i think it the em7 chord here 022033 thats all i know

[trem7]

but its not the same the whole way through what other chords do switch to? anyone know?

[Squirrel]

^ hmm why not.. look at the tabs for it ?

[slashjunior]

( i watched School of rock yesterday)

Great film. I have it on my computer and have watched it three times now :cool:

[when_im_gone]

It is EM7 who doesnt love that chord werid chord though after you use E major for everything lol

[when_im_gone]

that lil guitar plyer kids gots some skills **** 10 yr old lol

[trem7]

^ hmm why not.. look at the tabs for it ?
i wanted to know the chord formations because im new to guitar well november i started and i can play all but that and the full fast solo, and i wanted to know an easier way. since i saw james use chords :thumb:

[halfdeadhippo]

but its not the same the whole way through what other chords do switch to? anyone know?

http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,m,799,Metallica,Maste r+Of+Puppets,24868 for the tab.

progression = Em, D, Csus2, B7

EDIT: http://www.cyberfret.com/chords/chord-finder/index.php to get the chord shapes.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

What does kirk use (What effect) when he does the solo parts where its as if they'res two guitars when there is actually just one playing the whole thing. Cause I hate it when tabs are made for 5 or 6 guitars to play one song. e.x: The second half of the FFWF solo, Almost all of ..AJFA, the first mop solo after the interlude etc...

[williwakeupdead]

Harmonizing solo. Youll need a friend.

[trem7]

thanks so much halfdeadhippo that really helped!!!!!!

[btoto]

UnknowN Doodl3, yeah man. i was wondering about that too.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

---Bump---

what is this thread doing on page 2?!

[Metallicat]

---Bump---

what is this thread doing on page 2?!

no idea. i'm sure metallica haters enjoy not being able to see this thread though :p

*crosses his fingers for new cd*

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I liked the albums and I don't think they were selling out.

very well said. Load/Reload were great "hard rock" albums anyway you look at them. Vocally some of James best range and actually singing took place on those albums, lyrically songs like "bleeding me" and "fixxxer" were incredible, Kirk wrote more bluesy leads and shorter solos to fit the music better rather than show off, you could hear Jason's bass, and above all the song writing was top knotch. What diverse albums, no two songs followed a similar path. The riffage was heavy, listen to the intro to 2X4 or the chorus on Aint my Bitch, those are just great. Speed dosent make a band heavy, its how its played. Load and Reload are probley the two Metallica albums i can honestly say i still listen to.

[superpeer]

*bump*

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I was about to bump this *shakes fist*
Just a reminder, POST YOUR METALLICA OBSERVATIONS HERE, stop wasting thread space. Yes Metallica does include the following Kirk Hammet, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Rob Trujillo. Anything regarding them...here!

[superpeer]

^

We should make a thread about it. :p

[ATC]

load is an excellent album.
reload is alright but not bad. i still love snm over them all.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Whats better for a school concert.

Creeping Death...Blackened...or Leper Messiah?

[Joeeddstealschickens]

None.Play For Whom The Bell Tolls or Eneter Sandman.Though of the 3 id say Blackened.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

For Whom the bell rolls and sandman were played this year. Anyway I was just asking this for next school year . If i'm not mistaking Blackened has the hardest solo out of the three right?

[Joeeddstealschickens]

yeah.........i dont reckon that those 3 would go down to well though.Lepers a bit long,and doesnt change much so the audience might get bored.Blackened is good but really fast.Creeping Death changes a bit too much maybe.I played at Band night last week;we played our own stuff but they were all at least 7 mins long but cos they changed (subtly) and worked well it went down.Also it was origional material.With covers you need to either play something a lot of people know or play something snappy,like Motorbreath,that captures attention.These guys played covers then and sucked *** but they were covers people knew,so it got (some of ) the crowd on their side.About 8 pages back is a thing some guy wanted opinion on what metallica songs to play at a battle of the bands,that might help you.Otherwise ask for some suggestions.

[dougefresh]

Whats better for a school concert.

Creeping Death...Blackened...or Leper Messiah?

Creeping Death!!!!! It's so f'ucking awesome when the crowd goes, "DIE! DIE!" etc.

[get_inside_03]

Wow ... there are so many metallica threads on this board !

[Joeeddstealschickens]

Creeping Death!!!!! It's so f'ucking awesome when the crowd goes, "DIE! DIE!" etc.

if you got a crowd at a school concert (most of whom will know metallica by st.anger) to do the chanting then you have my respect.The most i managed to incite was hand-waving,and the bastards couldnt even keep that up for the whole song

[superawesome88]

loads ok, but its not their best

[ATC]

who said it was their best?
their best album had to be and justice and S&M

[UnknowN Doodl3]

if you got a crowd at a school concert (most of whom will know metallica by st.anger) to do the chanting then you have my respect.The most i managed to incite was hand-waving,and the bastards couldnt even keep that up for the whole song

:lol: Yeah thats true.

[ATC]

i once managed to get em to sing along to the unforgiven.
i failed miserably at makin em sing along to mama said.

[dougefresh]

A good song (though very overrated) to play is Enter Sandman. Everyone knows that song

[Gernm18]

my band covered creeping death and we played it in our school last december and like 15 people chanted die it was pretty cool

i'd say play blackened , and headbang as ****! people will like that

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if one were to move around too much on stage, he would look like an idiot, right?

[YDload]

I would play "Creeping Death" because there are a lot of Metallica posers at my school who would know what to do. Nothing against Metallica, but I'm sure you've seen just from this thread alone that many of its fans are a little... dumb.

[hex135]

except for the last part, i totally agree, nicely said.

(i still listen to the first 5 metallica albums almost regularly. )

[T-Web]

I have all metallicas except load and i would say that reload isnt there best but it is far from being their worst.

[xDeViAnTx]

who said it was their best?
their best album had to be and justice and S&M

I agree, justice is my favourite album.

A lot of people seem to think that S&M meant they were selling out. I never got that... why is releasing a live album selling out?

[Ham 'n Eggs123]

Yeah, I agree with what most people said on here about Load and Reload being good albums. Its funny because i've heard so many people flaming these albums but I never thought they were that bad.

[Gernm18]

the people who flame them are usually narrowminded thrashers people who cant deal with the fact that metallica changed musically

i agree those albums arent as good as the old ones but they certainly are better than many new bands

[xtreme_skatah]

I'd got with Blackened. If you were gonna play the intro to it as well. Thats's got such a kickass intro. I reckon if you want poeple to join in or do do stuff with you, i'd go for Creeping Death.

[RideTheSpiral]

Wow ... there are so many metallica threads on this board !


Newsflash! :lol:

[Joeeddstealschickens]

S&M is great,if lacking a few important songs.Puppets is the best, but i reckon load is full of bland blues-rock.Some songs are good,i.e outlaw torn and bleeding me,but they are better on S&M

[superpeer]

S&M's setlist is great, nothing to complain about, no need for the same song every time :)

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Battery on S&M is so nice. Especially when the main riff comes in. My mom hates what I listen to, cause its too fast and heavy for her. So what I did was ask her to listen to a very smooth, slow moving song. So I made her listen to Fith Fire with fire. ;)

[NoHero9]

I listen to Load and Re-load every day. I love both.

[superpeer]

I listen to RTL alot.

[PURESlipKnoTFaN]

i've liked Metallica since i was 8 years old (14 in april)

[UnknowN Doodl3]

^Yeah me too. I even listen to rtl a bit more than Mop.

[dougefresh]

I can't stand Load or Reload... I like a few songs off them (King Nothing, Fuel) but I usually only listen to RtL, MoP, and sometimes AJFA

[Gernm18]

i listen to justice more than any other album

i just cant get enough of blackened, ajfa, dyers eve, one, eye of the beholder, shortest straw, to live is to die, harvester of sorrow and the frayed ends of sanity

all the songs in that album are awesome my favorite's gotta be blackened or dyers eve or to live is to die

[dougefresh]

RtL is great... Bunch of songs about death. Creeping Death has to be the coolest :cool:

[trem7]

in my opinion i prefer the old albums over most of their new ones like rtl and kill em all and mop and load anf reload but i really dislike the symphony in S&M because in my honest opinion i think it ruins a good thing

[Facsimile]

in my opinion i prefer the old albums over most of their new ones like rtl and kill em all and mop and load anf reload
What do you mean Load and Reload are old ones?

[borisdablade]

S&M remains my favourite metallica album, it was my first and so i have a soft spot for it. Most of the songs lent themselves to the symphony very well, the symphony coulda been a bit more restrained for MOP and sad but true didnt really work but the rest is brilliant. Even when i hear the studio version of battery i find myself humming the string arrangements.

Has anyone heard apocolyptica - four cellos plays metallica? Its brilliant. They actually play the one solo, tapping and all on a cello (which is a fretless instrument if im not mistaken). Fade to black isnt on the album, but they have done it on another cd and man it really takes the song to a new level. That song would have been just amazing with the symphony.

[superpeer]

I have two albums by apocalyptica, they're very good.

[trem7]

What do you mean Load and Reload are old ones?

i meant older sorry like before jason left and rob came. and james became sober. it's kinda funny i think, they had amazing albums and then james stopped drinking and i find they went downhill.

just my opinion

[NoHero9]

isn't beating a dead horse fun?

[ATC]

apocalyptica is wicked..anyone who can play a fast guitar solo on a cello deserves your respect.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

isn't beating a dead horse fun?
yes it is

[ATC]

reincarnating a dead horse and sodomizing it might be even more fun.
