[Whale and Wasp]

who agrees with me on the outlaw torn II? they really should.
ive actually never heard the outlaw torn......

[heavy metal kid]

who agrees with me on the outlaw torn II? they really should.

they released the complete version of the outlaw torn already in single.

[Alison Chains]

speaking of bass solos, cliffs solos in cliff em all are pretty cool.


Cliff was the one to start the trend of Metallica's bass solos. Without him we wouldn't have had the memorable "Pulling Teeth",now would we? Suprised no-one else has quoted on that on yet!

[metalcritter666]

seriously? its 10 minutes long!

[heavy metal kid]

seriously? its 10 minutes long!
it was in the memory remains single (uk version2)they put it there 'cause it wont fit in load

[metalcritter666]

yeah, i heard about that

and alison chains ^^ has a point

[heavy metal kid]

Cliff was the one to start the trend of Metallica's bass solos. Without him we wouldn't have had the memorable "Pulling Teeth",now would we? Suprised no-one else has quoted on that on yet!

cliff was like the beethoven of bass,without him probably we dont have fade to black, master of puppets and orion as we know them.

[metalcritter666]

without cliff we probably wouldn't have RTL or KEA for that matter!

Everyone - start posting like mad.

[Rattlehead]

theres about a billion rumours going around, a lot of them on this forum that they be returning to their early 90s black album sound. :thumb: :D
't wood b cool :cool:

[Rattlehead]

well that would be rather good :D
to me, pink floyd and metallica do not seem to mix...
agreed

[metalcritter666]

wouldn't it be so cool to talk to metallica? even with e-mail?

[Joe]

cliff was like the beethoven of bass,without him probably we dont have fade to black, master of puppets and orion as we know them.

that's a bit closed minded. i'd say victor wooten is the beethoven of bass. maybe cliff is more like.... maybe mozart? or even elton john

[Rattlehead]

yea thats a fantastic track. bit repeteive 2 begin with but really good after lars comes in on the drums. then he starts tapping and bending n s'hit

[Joe]

yea thats a fantastic track. bit repeteive 2 begin with but really good after lars comes in on the drums. then he starts tapping and bending n s'hit

yea but rob had a similar solo this past tour. tons of tapping, great stuff

[metalcritter666]

anyone know jaymz' phone number lol

[heavy metal kid]

that's a bit closed minded. i'd say victor wooten is the beethoven of bass. maybe cliff is more like.... maybe mozart? or even elton john

The point is:
Cliff is great :thumb: :thumb:

[Rattlehead]

that's a bit closed minded. i'd say victor wooten is the beethoven of bass. maybe cliff is more like.... maybe mozart? or even elton john
sheesh, maybe mozart but not elton john!?

[metalcritter666]

i still haven't heard rob's solos yet :upset:


am i missing out?

[Rattlehead]

[metalcritter666]

you can download live clips from metallica.com

i've still only got a dial-up connection but i'll download 'em as soon as i get broadband.

[heavy metal kid]

sheesh, maybe mozart but not elton john!?

elton john is great man love lies bleeding and funeral for a friendare awesome,but still CLIFF IS BETTER :thumb:

[Joe]

anyone know jaymz' phone number lol

that'd be a little stalkerish... and why do people spell it jaymz? did i miss something? it sounds like it should be james. i wouldn't think a metalhead would spell his name preppily


and yes everyone needs to hear some rob. he's really great


2,900th post! only 100 more to go

[metalcritter666]

i'm not a FFAF friend myself, although they were influenced by metallica.

i'm not a stalker lol it was just my attempt at a joke...but still it would be cool to talk to them in person.

they call him jaymz because that's his informal name, tradition i guess

[heavy metal kid]

You can get famous names on things like hotmail and sell them for a fortune on e-bay. My step brother did it ;)

****ing hell - say something. ask him about the new album. actually kirk would probably be the best one to talk to, he seems the friendliest. but still - incredible.

[\m/Pete\m/]

1.yes, only mods can make official threads

I think you're right about that being some lonely attention-seeker. I'm sure famous people wouldn't go ahead and make their usernames so obvious that everyone can know it's them. But then again, some might. Who knows. Good luck! :thumb:

[Rattlehead]

It probably isn't really him foo'
yea, as i said... ill ask im if its him. he probs gets this all the time, jaymz or not

[Joe]

and yes, the email is most likely not james'.

[Six Foot Revolver]

[metalcritter666]

did the jaymz e-mail thing work anyone?

[LarsAgi007]

theres about a billion rumours going around, a lot of them on this forum that they be returning to their early 90s black album sound. :thumb: :D

If i remember correctly i heard loads of rumours that they were going to do something like the Black album a while ago, then a little album came out called S.t Anger, I think the truth is, No-One, appart from Tallica and a few producers know a thing, its all what people think, Not what has been officially said.

I do not think the new album will be anything like other albums to be honest, i think it will be quite a relaxed album, with loads of misterious tracks, kinda like Temptation that can be heard on S.K.O.M

(Has that Jaymez hetfield addy on MSN, Not came online as of yet though..)

[heavy metal kid]

enter natman - where did everyone go?

still here but the e-mail thing is not very fun to talk.

[Rattlehead]

dont worry anyways

so it's not him?

i doubt it. i sent this message: "Can you tell me whether you are james hetfield lead singer of the best heavy metal band (metallica) in the world please" but i doubt its him

[metalcritter666]

maybe he'll reply.

how big does a thread have to be before it gets deleted?
the r&m yacht clubs about 55000 posts and 2200 pages long.

[LarsAgi007]

The thread may get deleted (a lá The stonglod) if it gets too big and uts too big a strain on the server, but I can't see that happen for a gopd while yet.

If that was to happen, they would probably delete the 1st half of the thread... This site must take some servers to run...

P.S that Jaymez thing, I sent him an essay lol, I asked him to please reply, I will keep you posted if anyone replies... Lets face it, even if it isn't him, he will probably say he is lol

[munky_magik]

The original Stronghold was around 100,000 post long when it got deleted.
If the Yacht club gets deleted my post count is going to plummet :-/

Also, I severly doubt James & Kirk, or for that matter any member of Metallica, would have a free e-mail account with hotmail.

we should keep tryin with the e-mail thing!

Same here. About half my posts have been in the yacht club :upset:. Imagine Bartenders plummet then :eek:

I don't know if the threads will get deleted at around that mark. I think it's a reasonable assumption though, as having two threads in here that size is gonna strain the server.

Accually, i did have the drummer, (Travis) Of Blink 182 on MSN once, They were online 24/7, and often a woman was there, but then one day he claimed to be travis, i had a webcam convo with him, and it sure was him, even showed me his tattos, they matched perfectly, I had his e-mail addy, but my computer wen't down for like 4 months and i lost my MSN account, and history, it was somthing like Trav1s_B_arker5535@hotmail.com, Close to that, but i have never got it since grrrr (Not that i am a big fan)

[willis2441]

better

[metalcritter666]

hey this is a qestion for anyone and everyone, what do you think the band would have been like if cliff burton was still alive and dave mustaine was still in the group?
hmmm...good question there.

one thing's for sure...we wouldn't have megadeth... :confused:

kill em all would be pretty much exactly the same...
RTL would also be similar but we probably wouldn't have Escape. The solos would be more reminiscent of what we know as Megadeth solos (eg. rtl)
MoP would have some differences. the songs with hammett credited on them would probably be very different or wouldn't exist, and probably songs that we don't know would be on there.
AJFA would not have Blackened :upset: because that's newsteds riff. to live is to die would be much more extravagent, too i think. and the production would have been much better, bass wise, because they treated newsted like s**t sometimes and left him out.
The black album may or may not have been produced by Bob Rock and there would be no enter sandman (kirk's song). as this was really the pilot of the black album it would be completely different...similar to the 80s albums.
Load and Reload probably would not have emerged.
They probably would have stuck with what they're doing now like slayer but i don't think they'd be as popular as they really are and i don't even know if they'd still be together. i reckon if they'd kept mustaine and cliff hadn't been killed (RIP) they would have sold about 15 million albums in total now compared to about 92 million, because of the black album. AND THERE'S NO WAY CLIFF WOULD HAVE QUIT - HE KNEW BETTER!!! :thumb:

tell me what you think

[PepsiMetal]

better

Nah, I like Kirk more than Mustaine. But it would be cool to have Cliff.

[TallicaChic]

it was good that Dave was boooted cause now we have 2 great bands...everything would have been better with cliff...way better basslines and he wouldn't accept the crap they are putting out lately. I have great faith in future records though.

[metalcritter666]

I think Kirk better than mustaine yeah. "mega dave" has too big an ego.
Do you think that Metallica in 1982 should have picked Gary Holt instead of Kirk Hammett from Exodus?

[Carlos Santana]

ANOTHER LITTLE KNOWN FACT

James recorded both guitar parts and bass on the track hit the lights.
theres alot i dont know about james. i never knew he did the solos.

[metalcritter666]

james did the N.E.M solo and the MoP 1st solo...and he plays the 3rd phrase of the seek and destroy solo live occasionally.

james has a much better tone than kirk, don't you agree?
what distortion does he use?

[TallicaChic]

naw...Kirk keeps em all level headed most of the time. they need that. It's a perfect combo they got going. plus Kirk's solo's are really awesome. i wish lars would'nt have objected to the soloing on St Anger..it might have come out better

[metalcritter666]

i wish lars would'nt have objected to the soloing on St Anger..it might have come out better

totally. maybe the album wouldn't have that horrible nu-metal feel.

you've been like telling everyone about pg 717 at least twice per page.lol


ok. I got a question. did cliff actually write some of the solos for the Metallcia songs "pre Justice."? and if he did, what songs?

[metalcritter666]

he writes a lot of the fast solos too (any guitar solo with the song not credited by hammett or mustaine is jaymz' work)...but most people think he can't play them because kirk always plays em. but jaymz is just as good as kirk.

[metalcritter666]

you've been like telling everyone about pg 717 at least twice per page.lol


ok. I got a question. did cliff actually write some of the solos for the Metallcia songs "pre Justice."? and if he did, what songs?

all the bass solos pre-justice are cliff's work. i don't think he did any guitar solos though (sorry about the double post i had to reply to this)

about my great work on pg 717 have you tried it? you will be amazed...


btw...are you really carlos santana :rolleyes: :lol:

i'm listening to st anger for the first time. it's full of great riffs

i miss you solos :upset: :upset: :upset:

[metalcritter666]

beware gocaps, you will be disappointed. (shoot me again is the biggest amount of cess-ridden filth you will probably ever encounter from metallica)

[TallicaChic]

i'm listening to st anger for the first time. it's full of great riffs

i miss you solos :upset: :upset: :upset:

exactly! i mean that album has some **** good riffs..the idea of each song just didnt' get far enough. I mean you can see the great change from the original work that they showed on SKOM...those songs were terrible and though time and patience they became a lot better, but not good enough yet. that album has great potential they just stopped too quickly; no solos and bob rock on bass didn't help much.

[heavy metal kid]

THE BAD THINGS ABOUT ST. ANGER ARE:
repetitive riffs
james voice
no solos
confusing lyrics

but after all the riffs are cool and make 70 minutes of music with the budget that other band uses for 45 minutes of music.

[metalcritter666]

new avatar heavy metal kid?

yeah youre right about st. anger. lars snare drum sounds completely f*cked up too, i might add.

[TallicaChic]

I think one of the main reasons st anger came out the way it did was because of all the drama the band was going though trying to write it..Jason leaving, James fixing his addiction, james and lars's ego's going at it..the therapist, to much crap going on to fully concentrate on the music. that's all been fixed now...i think the new album will be much better than this last one.

[heavy metal kid]

new avatar heavy metal kid?

yeah youre right about st. anger. lars snare drum sounds completely f*cked up too, i might add.

i forgot about that,sound like hiting a garbage can with baseball bats.

My new avatar name is leely tee,the goth metal girl.

I agree with all the points you made thought but I really don't think they are going to improve.

[metalcritter666]

i think they will. metallica aren't stupid, they listen to their fans too. it won't be MoP standard, but it'll be better than the st. anger horseshit.

well you know on the other hand..they may have just lost their kick *** 80's spark...which would give me no reason to live.. :amaze: but I do think it will be a better album.

Not at all. We have everything that is good from the 20th century + the new ****.

[heavy metal kid]

does anyone really think rock affected metallica,i mean every metallica interview that i saw after the one video,metallica's attitude were different.

[Chu]

metallica will never get rid of rock
I don't have a problem with Rock, as a musician, I actually thought the basslines to St. Anger were kinda cool, he's not as bad as people say, I don't think those people have actually listenned to him. They just think "Oh Bob Rock, he's a producer he can't play music!" if they took into account all the band's he produces for, like RHCP one of the better bassists in rock, in my opinion, he's obviously going to learn a bit...

I have a problem with Rock as a producer, I don't like any of the albums he's produced, except St. Anger, which he kinda wrote, but got Metallica's name on it :lol:

they totally should though. bob is a great producer, and he made metallica about a trillion dollars better off, but the music went downhill. everyone knows that. if they rehired rasmussen for the next album the music would be reminiscent of the 80s. good music. and thats what counts.

[metal_milita]

o lordy, so much needless posting. i hate it when people deliberatly try to post to get some sort of unpraised record posts or something. the quality of the posts decreases dramatically (observe for yourself) and it becomes a pain in the *** to read the 20 pages the metallica thread has advanced.
but on topic
1) since this is the hot topic, i thought i'd let you know that jameshetfield@hotmail.com is NOT james hetfield because his email would be more along the lines of jameshetfield@metallica.com. the selling emails on ebay is crap because no artist wants his official email in hotmail.
2) if cliff was still in metallica, all that would be different is that there would be better basslines. songs and their variety would remain the same (cliff is not pure metal, he wanted to experiment also)

thats all i feel like posting.

[willis2441]

currently listenin to:welcome home (sanatarium)

[larsROCKS]

Fade to Black

[Alison Chains]

cliff was like the beethoven of bass,without him probably we dont have fade to black, master of puppets and orion as we know them.


Let's not forget "Call of Ktulu" :thumb:

[Alison Chains]

yeah, i heard about that

and alison chains ^^ has a point


Yes. I do,don't I :D

[Alison Chains]

it were rumors about enter sandman II and recyclee old songs


I heard that. It was all instrumental,and sounded nothing like Enter Sandman or any metallica song whatsoever. It's an urban myth.

[larsROCKS]

^^ so there is such a song?

[larsROCKS]

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]my sister died last year man.[/QUO

Im sorry to hear that, R.I.P

[supra_speed]

Let's not forget "Call of Ktulu" :thumb:
Or him for that matter :)

[larsROCKS]

so let me get this straight, jaymes writes most of the solo's? why doesnt he perform them as well?

[supra_speed]

He plays them sometimes in replace of Hammet i think. Rarely?

[larsROCKS]

ah, what ones did he right, basicly all of them?

[Alison Chains]

^^ so there is such a song?


There is some ****ty instrumental going around Kazaa with that name,but it's bull****.

[Bassopoika]

Yup.. Theres not that kind of songs. Metallica will say it in theyr own website if there is.

[DisposableHeroes]

Actually i think James just writes the slow solos, i really cant see him writing fast leads

[mr black]

metallica are a good band il give em that this forum is equaly as good :thumb:

[Metallica Rules]

If anyone is good in guitar here i would like to ask how do u play fade to black ending solo, as the solo is approaching to an end, there this part where u start off at the 12th fret and began pulling off from the 14th fret..
i love this part i can't manage to play it very smoothly, is there any methods to it or does anyone have some tips on that? (ride the lightning- fade to black, around 6:10 onwards)

[kirk_wylde]

I'm sorry. Where is all this "JAMES WRITES EVERY SOLO" comming from. James writes the slow solos. The ones he is credited with writing are ones like the first solo in MOP or a solo in orion. James said himself he can't solo that well. The reason most people think hetfield writes them is because hammet barely gets writing credits. This is probably because coming in and writing a little solo and shredding for 30 secconds does not count as "writing the song" and so he doesn't get writing credits. i suppose you have to actually write the "song" part to get credits. But hammet writes those solos. Can you imagine hetfield even dreaming of playing one's solo. Amazing rhytm player but come on

[Metallica Rules]

James may or may not be able to play a master solo. But at least he is able to sing and play power riffs the same time without losing his concentration.

[kirk_wylde]

If that was directed at my last post then my message came across wrong. I think james is an amazing player. To be able to play that fast and that solidly and sing at the same time is quite hard. Definitely and understated guitarist for sure. Are metallica bask in the studio now or is that just me?

[Joe]

ok to answer a few questions

YES METALLICA IS IN STUDIOS
JAMES DOES NOT WRITE EVERY SOLO

he wrote Nothing Else Matters and several little solos. All those incredible solos you hear like in Fade to Black are all Hammett. How could you think Hammett didn't write the solos? Go to 15:18 on disc 2 (Mexico City) of Live Sh*t track 5.

[kirk_wylde]

I know what you mean, this happened earlier on in the thread, a bunch of people started saying james wrote all the solos, It happens every now and again lol. HE DID NOT

Cheers for the studio answer though, thanks.

[Metallica Rules]

Yeah, james dont write master solos.. but well the least he did was he wrote an awesome nothing else matters solo. It's all full of emotions, and purely just Nothing Else Matters. During the S&M concert, he did another improvised solo, so much better, so incredible.

Then again, he is also good at writting other catchy riffs.. and not to mention about the lyrics...

[Metallica Rules]

And now can someone answer me question?

[metalcritter666]

how many songs will be on the next album?
my guess is north of 10, south of 15

:thumb:

by the way, there's an edit button if you want to add something.

[kirk_wylde]

I'm not sure how were meant to know that. But in an IDEAL world I would say 8 nuggets of pure thrash gold

[metalcritter666]

nah. the most likely thing is an early 90s black album type thing but with the obligitory E flat tuning. they've listened to the fans and the last thing theyll do is a "re-anger".
looking at all the rumours thats my conclusion.

[kirk_wylde]

Well you can only hope eh

[Joe]

And now can someone answer me question?

what's your question?

i want 8 songs on this album, a classic RTL or MOP

[metalcritter666]

why? how about 20 songs, classic RTL MoP or AJFA :thumb:

[kirk_wylde]

Not quite on the same train of thought. But does anyone here wish they would release a new straight (no fancy stuff) live Dvd with a bunch of their old stuff. Like a minimalized Live; **** (i.e one disc) Basically that kinda thing but with the better modern day sound quality. Plus a chance to see rob. Actually summit like the St. anger dvd would be amazing (But obviously NOT playing St. anger songs)

[metalcritter666]

no. it would have to be a long one spanning their career, st. anger songs are awesome live because they put guitar solos in them.

[Carlos Santana]

no. it would have to be a long one spanning their career, st. anger songs are awesome live because they put guitar solos in them.
do you have any videos of the solos added? i really want to see it

[Endless Obsession]

Does anyone know what the tuning is going to be for the new album?

[DisposableHeroes]

Why do you wanna know that? I mean, personally i dont care about tuning. Exodus downtuned for new stuff and it turned out killer

[Endless Obsession]

Cause there better stufff is in standard tuning.

[metalcritter666]

James can no longer sing in the key of E, they have to move it down to E flat. Some songs sound better in E flat (puppetz) but some sound horrible (seek and destroy)

[munky_magik]

NP: Dark Tranquility-White Noise/Black Silence

You quite like that song don't you?

[Endless Obsession]

James can no longer sing in the key of E, they have to move it down to E flat. Some songs sound better in E flat (puppetz) but some sound horrible (seek and destroy)

Yeah, he really killed his voice making Black Album.

[metalcritter666]

ironic, considering he took singing lessons in 1990.

[DisposableHeroes]

Not that it matters, but it would be cool if he grew his hair again

[munky_magik]

Yeah I like it alot, I'm really glad you posted a link to it. Cheers man :)

actually there's quite a funny site about het's hair through the past 25 years or whatever. it is a bit het-bashing, but its quite good.
put in james hetfield on google and its the first one.

[Carlos Santana]

can somone explain how tuning can affect someones singing?

[munky_magik]

'Fraid so :upset:
Ah, poor show. If you had broadband/cable I would've uploaded their newest album, Character, to yousendit for you.

[munky_magik]

Different people have different ranges, so there's no point in playing with instruments tuned to E when your singers voice is most comfortable in Eb.

[DisposableHeroes]

Yeah i went there before, its pretty cool :thumb:

[metalcritter666]

can somone explain how tuning can affect someones singing?
it's very simple really and any good musician should know this.

if jaymz was singing as if the song was in E, but in actuality is was in E flat, it would sound out of key.
also, voices often deepen over time, and jaymz finds it more comfortable to sing in a lower pitch now.
