is there anyone in here who gets extremely calmed down when they hear the first riff from hero of the day?

[Deth]

The biggest problem I have with St. Anger by far is the length of the songs. They just didn't need to be 7 minutes long.

[gothikid13]

anyone who likes breadfan and stone cold crazy as much as i do? (i think its some of the best metallica there is)

[gothikid13]

no offense to metallica, i still love their music to no end but St. Anger sucked *** and they should go back about 15 years to the good stuff

[Deth]

anyone who likes breadfan and stone cold crazy as much as i do? (i think its some of the best metallica there is)
I think Stone Cold Crazy is insanely awesome and Breadfan is just OK.

I much prefer Crash Course in Brain Surgery.

[flamesofbodom]

is there anyone in here who gets extremely calmed down when they hear the first riff from hero of the day?

No but i calm down when i hear the intro to fight fire with fire

[metalcritter666]

anyone esle in here that plays guitar and wont make fun of me for this but idk how to learn a solo and it bugs the **** out of me and it pisses me off that all my friends can play the solo from seek and destroy perfectly and i can get close but it just doesnt sound right so if anyones got any help with that plz list it
welcome to the forums, man

i'm sure they can help you out better in the guitar forum, but try playing by ear. it worked for me. course it wont work if your tone-deef.....

is there anyone in here who gets extremely calmed down when they hear the first riff from hero of the day?
yes, i do.

anyone who likes breadfan and stone cold crazy as much as i do? (i think its some of the best metallica there is)
they're good songs but weren't written by metallica. breadfan is by budgie, and stone cold crazy is a queen song. ive heard the original queen song, i prefer metallica's version. i dont know if you knew this already

no offense to metallica, i still love their music to no end but St. Anger sucked *** and they should go back about 15 years to the good stuff
yeah, i know what you mean. but regulars on this thread are getting pretty tired of people talking about the same old stuff like how much they hated st. anger. i thought it was good, but it was lacking in something (see above) and it didnt really live up to the albums from the 80s.

oh and by the way if you want to add something to your post, you should use the edit button next to your post. (or prepare to be flamed by angry vets.)

i disappear has not been released on any metallica album, i think it was only a single but it was on the MI2 soundtrack.

as for solos, you'll learn over time.

yea i have that problem too the first time i learn a solo. it's like i don't want to read the tab how it was tabbed, i want to read it to how i think it sounds and then i end up learning it wrong. i've mastered a bunch of metallica solos though. just keep practicing, once you get it you'll be amazed

[lilmetallica]

Ummmm metalcritter666 is that coffee in your avatar?
I can play a solo the one from nothing else matters the real essy one. YAY :amaze:

[metalcritter666]

nope, its tea.

[lilmetallica]

Fraom re-load to tea . Quite a leap.

what i do is i listen to the solo a lot, and then i play the tab slowly so i can memerize it. Then i follow the tab with the solo so i know what part is supposed to sound like what. then, once i memerized the solo, i play it slow, then faster, and faster until it's up to speed. Then i practice that solo for a couple of hours and try playing it with the music. Then i just play it a lot so it gets stuck in my head.

[Rasta Rocker]

But if you want to get even better, I'd suggest finding what key they play in, and improvise....

[lilmetallica]

hahhahaha

tea is much more civilized.
Than coffee or re-load?
No need for alarm but i think i'm James Hetfield.

[metalcritter666]

both.

^^^^^^^^^^^improvise = :thumb:
go and improvise - NOW!

Yeah, my friend knows the first 2 solos in fade to black and one, and he thinks he's the greatest guitarist on the planet. :angry:

[lilmetallica]

I meant like different bands like my friend can play blink182 solos but they're sooooo easy.They have some good songs but real easy solos and hes like you cant play a solo yet but metallca's solos are hard and he doesnt relise this.:angry:

yes, because i'm my friend.

i think i have an answer to your problem before or whoever it was. they asked how kirk gets the screechy bit in that guitar solo or something. the solo in question is master of puppets and an easy way to do it is by striking a natural harmonic on the 4th/3rd frets of the G/B strings simultaneously and articulating the resultant notes with your whammy bar and wah-wah pedal.

[lilmetallica]

No that wasnt me.

It's an easy solo (well compared to some other metallica ones), if you know how to play it right. Most tabs for seek and destroy are just crap though, would you like me to tab it for you the way I play it?

[JACKROXYOU]

and what the hell is happening in this thread?

I've wondered how he does that. A lot of people say it's from pulling the string off of the guitar, but I've tried and it doesn't sound right when I do it.

apparently he pulls the string off the neck kind up and it involves a pickup. but thats how he does it live

[metal_milita]

I'm sure you knew exactly what you were doing.
:amaze: am I supposed to be insulted? I can admit to people that my song is uncanningly like MoP but there is no way I planned it to be similarly structured like that, and if you intend to know, I was trying to make it have a Symphony X like vibe.
Curious though, why would you think that?
I'm not some fanboy who injects metallica into myself, and I'm not a retard where I can't come up with good songs of my own.

[metallicarules!play bass]

if you guys wanna talk about some hard to learn metallica solo's then try learning Anesthesia.
it took me two solid weeks just to remember how to play the whole thing and another week to get all the timing and rythems right.
but being able to play it brings meaning to my life.




LONG LIVE METALLICA

[mr black]

learning metallica is great fun, and it gives you a good feeling of achievement

[DisposableHeroes]

I'm gonna actually try the Disposable Heroes solo, and keep at it. I should also be renting out SKOM tonight from my local video box

[Burdcheese]

(watching S&M) ****, you can't even hear call of Ktulu

I can :)

If you have serious problems, you could select the option to listen to the band on their own... which is somewhat missing the point

[DisposableHeroes]

Now i want to learn the Unforgiven solo

[blue3]

What's an easy Metallica solo to play on guitar?

[Kyle]

What's an easy Metallica solo to play on guitar?
The opening solo to one

[blue3]

The opening solo to one
I can play that already

[ThrashMaster27]

The fast solo from The Four Horsemen is pretty easy.

[wrongnote85]

i just got on here and read through the thread with all of snow day's (or snow whatever it is) posts. they guy is full of ****! in my experience, anyone who boasts about how good they are always sucks. always. no bother trying to get him to post any recordings, he can't play for ****, i can tell you that right now. and, if by some chance he is accomplished, then he deserves nothing more than a "good job" and not a look back. hell, he's probroly not even in britian.

as for easy metallica solos, harvester of sorrow is short, sweet, and too the point. i recommend that one. after that try nothing else matters, first MOP solo, and the pretty solo to horsemen.

[Mazeppa]

Some of the solos in Orion are pretty simple, also the halfway solos in MOP.

[blue3]

Okay.. I'll try playing those solos

[wrongnote85]

The fast solo from The Four Horsemen is pretty easy.

not for me, i play a strat with only 21 frets!

[DisposableHeroes]

The first Orion solo is easy

[rippa32]

Can anyone tell me who sings nothing else matters? I have a hard time believing that its Hetfield.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Can anyone tell me who sings nothing else matters? I have a hard time believing that its Hetfield.
Pretty sure it is

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, it's Hetfield. He's quite good with his 'Ballad' voice. Not a fan myself, but it's good.

[wrongnote85]

hetfield sings everything. jason sings whiplash on live **** and that's about it.

[IAJP]

I'm listening to Live **** now,
Of Wolf And Man.
It's good.

[Joe]

The first Orion solo is easy

i haven't tried it


and hetfield sings everything studio recorded. on Live Sh*t Jason does some singing

and live sh*t is amazing, but i think i like the S&M Of Wolf and Man better

and easy solos? anything on the black album is pretty easy. the last solo in sanitarium is easy and all of for whom the bell tolls is easy (not technically a solo i think, btu the lead part is cool)

[IAJP]

I'm listening to Battery now, it's pretty funny the way he teases the audience :lol:

[Joe]

seek and destroy disc 2, really good stuff

[IAJP]

Yeah,
the live Motorbreath is awesome too.

[Joe]

man the orion solos are fairly easy. i've got them down, now i just need to memorize them.

[metalcritter666]

What's an easy Metallica solo to play on guitar?
it really depends what sort of level you're at guitar-playing wise, but the easiest solos are probably Bleeding Me, Ain't My Bitch (if you can use a slide), Better Than You...etc. stuff from the load/reload days or kill 'em all. they're mostly simple pentatonic stuff except on kill 'em all its played at about 3 billion bpm

[mr black]

3 billion bpm ayyeeee... thats pretty fast :P

[mr black]

Yeah, my friend knows the first 2 solos in fade to black and one, and he thinks he's the greatest guitarist on the planet. :angry:
ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant

[Endless Obsession]

ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant

I thought there was only two solos in FTB?

[metalcritter666]

I thought there was only two solos in FTB?
there's 3.

[metalcritter666]

dyer's eve is phucking awesome song - I didn't go but I know Lars can still double-bass like that no problem

ANY GUITARISTS WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO GET A CLASSIC 'TALLICA SOUND - i may just have the solution!!! hold on...


OK - have a Boss ME-50 and preferably a Line 6 spider set to clean (bass 8, mid 3, treble 9, chan vol 10, drive 4.5 for all tones, if you don't have a spider it will probably work with other amps but you may have to tweak around with the settings...for the distorted parts you might be able to get away with a Boss-MT2 or a DS1.)

ok - here's Kirk's unforgiven 1 clean part (G:-2-4-5-5-5-5-4-0)
On the me-50: tone modify, acoustic (or try the other ones)
a dash of stereo chorus
50% hall reverb
delay set to about 500ms
a bit of compression sustain will not go amiss for the pre-solo riff (don't knock the level up too much or it'll go overdriven)
On the guitar: tone and vol 10, bridge hummer

here's Jaymz' acoustic parts for the black album
as above but use a single coil pickup and maybe a bit more chorus to make it sound smoother

Kirk's lead tone for Live Sh*t solos:
Tone modify: Enhance, Hollow, Tight or S>H, they all work fine
OD/DS: Metal (flick dial to MT2 and hit variation) Drive 4.5, Bottom 8, Tone 6, Level 4
Compressor: Sustain 6, Level 4.5
NS: 1
There is some delay but I'm not sure of the settings...try experimenting on that front
And have your pedal mode to wah in case you need it.

Load/reload tones:
As above but tweak the od/ds settings a bit and have it set to loud

These work for me.

KEEP THE MASTER LEVEL AT 5 OR IT MAY NOT SOUND AS GOOD

I'll try and update soon - try these and tell me if they work for you :thumb:

MoP/...AJFA sound
try turning your distortion to muff, and messing around with the controls.
for cliffs bass tone (think anaesthesia) heres a tip. if you have a boss me-50 turn the mod controls to 'harmonist' push the rate/key to anything really that one doesnt matter, and put the other two dials to max. this will give you a -1 octave sound instead of having to use the pedal, you can use that for wah instead now. turn your od/dist to 'muff' at with the drive about 6.5 and the bottom and tone to 9. you might wanna put some reverb or whatever for ambience.
for JASONS bass tone for his solos (think seattle, live sh!t), keep the same mod settings but put your od/dist to 'loud', and use the resonance effect for that cool sound. happy playing :thumb:

jaymz's guitar tone from kill 'em all set it to muff through a MARSHALL 100w amp. i dunno what kind he used so check encycmet or metallicaworld.
setting the delay to 100 - 500 (time 4) sounds cool too.

and SCOOPED MIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gothikid13]

It's an easy solo (well compared to some other metallica ones), if you know how to play it right. Most tabs for seek and destroy are just crap though, would you like me to tab it for you the way I play it?

[FlyingPaul_83]

ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant


Of course he can't, he tried to learn it and stopped when he lerned the tappping part. He says he can't move his fingers fast enough to do the rest of the solo.

[gothikid13]

Heidi is the coolest user on this site, unless anyone else has good tabs to a metallica song that sound right

[munky_magik]

Heidi is the coolest user on this site, unless anyone else has good tabs to a metallica song that sound right

[gothikid13]

if u do have any metallica tabs that sound perfect mail them to me at gothikid13@hotmail.com and i'll email u back and tell u how they sound

im saying cuz of the fact that not very many ppl talk about it as one of their greats, like seek and destroy, or one, or enter sandman

[Joe]

no idea, i have no clue how to get any of their tones

[Kyle]

surely nobody considers Enter sandman one of the greats?

do they? I personally can't stand it

Hey gothikid13, use the EDIT button ok?

Edit: I can't stand Enter Sandman either.

[heavy metal kid]

but the unforgiven is overrated beyond all reason

Okay, I see your point, which is true. I just thought saying Enter Sand Man was the only overrated Metallica song, is a bit ridiculous. I don't want to start a debate on this, just incase anyone does happen to get offended. Not that I think they would.

[Joe]

lol, ok.

yea, Enter Sandman is way overrated, but it's not their only one that's overrated. They have a ton of songs that are underrated. Honestly there's only 2 or 3 songs on ANY metallica album that i actually skip

It's not overrated to me, but incredibly overplayed. I havent' heard it in ages. I might dig it a lot more now.

I was just listening to Metal Militia.. now it's Megadeth -Holy Wars

[User_names_r_for_fags]

anyone have any thought of how metalica could of been if dave mustain was still in the band

[User_names_r_for_fags]

i think megadeth is much better then metalica but still metalica kicks ***

[User_names_r_for_fags]

any1 there

[blue3]

I like both bands.. but I listen to Metallica more

[Huber]

Dude, you only gave us 3 minutes. It will almost always take longer than that.

The Mustaine thing has been heavily debated, but I think it came down to this:

Hammet was better for Metallica, and Mustaine probably wouldn't have fit it.

Edit: Yeah, both bands are kickass, but I favor Metallica. Megadeth is definetly one of the best bands though.

[heavy metal kid]

anyone have any thought of how metalica could of been if dave mustain was still in the band

Wecome to the forums.
your point has been already discuss, but if metallica have mustaine in this day probably Master of puppets, Fade to black,Crepping Death wouldn't exist or don't would be the same.

[PepsiMetal]

None of the songs that were made after dave left would have existed or been the same. I like metallica more because megadeth's vocals are a bit weird imo.

[Heidi]

i have a crate GTX30 and a BC Rich NJ Warlock, what is the best way to make that sound?

Sell your crate. :p

Bass 10
Mid 1
Treble 10

That's what I used to do on my peavey rage158 to try and make it sound like metallica. I think that's what you have to do with lowend practice amps.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

To get a Metallica like guitar sound i do

Bass 8
Mid 5
Treble 6

i hate that scooped mids sound.

[heavy metal kid]

dyer's eve is phucking awesome song - I didn't go but I know Lars can still double-bass like that no problem

ANY GUITARISTS WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO GET A CLASSIC 'TALLICA SOUND - i may just have the solution!!! hold on...


OK - have a Boss ME-50 and preferably a Line 6 spider set to clean (bass 8, mid 3, treble 9, chan vol 10, drive 4.5 for all tones, if you don't have a spider it will probably work with other amps but you may have to tweak around with the settings...for the distorted parts you might be able to get away with a Boss-MT2 or a DS1.)

ok - here's Kirk's unforgiven 1 clean part (G:-2-4-5-5-5-5-4-0)
On the me-50: tone modify, acoustic (or try the other ones)
a dash of stereo chorus
50% hall reverb
delay set to about 500ms
a bit of compression sustain will not go amiss for the pre-solo riff (don't knock the level up too much or it'll go overdriven)
On the guitar: tone and vol 10, bridge hummer

here's Jaymz' acoustic parts for the black album
as above but use a single coil pickup and maybe a bit more chorus to make it sound smoother

Kirk's lead tone for Live Sh*t solos:
Tone modify: Enhance, Hollow, Tight or S>H, they all work fine
OD/DS: Metal (flick dial to MT2 and hit variation) Drive 4.5, Bottom 8, Tone 6, Level 4
Compressor: Sustain 6, Level 4.5
NS: 1
There is some delay but I'm not sure of the settings...try experimenting on that front
And have your pedal mode to wah in case you need it.

Load/reload tones:
As above but tweak the od/ds settings a bit and have it set to loud

These work for me.

KEEP THE MASTER LEVEL AT 5 OR IT MAY NOT SOUND AS GOOD

I'll try and update soon - try these and tell me if they work for you :thumb:

MoP/...AJFA sound
try turning your distortion to muff, and messing around with the controls.

for those who wanna sound like metallica:
i found it, this is the metallica tunes courtesy of metalcritter666. :thumb:

what did you think happened?

[Heidi]

To get a Metallica like guitar sound i do

Bass 8

Treble 6

i hate that scooped mids sound.

Well on my main amplifier I have this for Metallica:

gain: 7
bass 7
mid 3.5
Treble 6

It's different for different amps.

[led_zep_luvr]

It's different for different amps.

exactly. :chug:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's different for different amps.
True

[metalcritter666]

for cliffs bass tone (think anaesthesia) heres a tip. if you have a boss me-50 turn the mod controls to 'harmonist' push the rate/key to anything really that one doesnt matter, and put the other two dials to max. this will give you a -1 octave sound instead of having to use the pedal, you can use that for wah instead now. turn your od/dist to 'muff' at with the drive about 6.5 and the bottom and tone to 9. you might wanna put some reverb or whatever for ambience.
for JASONS bass tone for his solos (think seattle, live sh!t), keep the same mod settings but put your od/dist to 'loud', and use the resonance effect for that cool sound. happy playing :thumb:

jaymz's guitar tone from kill 'em all set it to muff through a MARSHALL 100w amp. i dunno what kind he used so check encycmet or metallicaworld.
setting the delay to 100 - 500 (time 4) sounds cool too.

and SCOOPED MIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i've got more.

before i was using effects pedals i just used to put it to
drive: 10
bass: 10
mid: 0
treble: 10 :cool:

[LarsAgi007]

i've got more.

before i was using effects pedals i just used to put it to
drive: 10
bass: 10
mid: 0
treble: 10 :cool:

Yes, i do that one my electric guitar, and put it to treble on the guitar also it sounds like a bass guitar.. Its pretty cool accually.. As i do not have a bass however i have done that method to fill in for bass players before now and no-one seems to have noticed the difference, its better with a bass amp though, a guitar amp cannot seem to hold the vibrations as well lol

[Sandtrap]

I think if you wanna get a really specific metallica sound you need to use a marshall...after all those are the amps they played.

[metalcritter666]

I think if you wanna get a really specific metallica sound you need to use a marshall...after all those are the amps they played.
no they don't. they used marshalls till the mid eighties, when they switched to mesa boogies.

[Sandtrap]

well I thought you were talking bout getting a good 80s sound...I dont know I assumed that?

[DisposableHeroes]

Songs you'd like Metallica to include on the next tour everyone? Dont say the obvious overrated songs that they HAVE to play

I'd like:

Actually, Sandtrap was right. he said they played Marshalls, which they did.

As for songs on tour, I would like to see/hear:
No Remorse
Fight Fire With Fire
The Call Of Ktulu
To Live Is To Die

[snow day]

anyone ever grow up lisening to metallica and learnt the guitar as metallica as like thier inspiration i did and i got totally pissed once when someone asked me to do a decent solo that didnt sound like a kirk re make......the best i came up with was the cheesy guitar interludes in smooth by santana lol

i ended up straying from metallicas music and recently i tried to rip the **** out of metallica on this very forum .......and only in the past few days i have........seen the light...... the truth is i actually like metallica

i just started listening to some classiscs and it rekindled my love over all things metallica .....in my blind search of more awe inspiring guitar solos i misjudged metallica and am here to apologize......

anyway in the end i ended up listening to the extreme shredding of slayer and the ....something.....of malmstein (i hope thats his name i cant remember)

i wos just wondering if any body has had the same experience as i have

PS: sorry for my major flaming of some a few days ago the stuff i said wos uncalled for

[DisposableHeroes]

Every single song? They'd be dead after a while, and so would i :p

[Six Foot Revolver]

It would still be cool though :D

[snow day]

It would still be cool though :D

if metallica played every single song they have ever made in the history of themselves ........apart from them giving the person who told them to do it a mighty slap it whould take them days if not weeks of solid concert time..........IM GONNA WORK IT OUT EXACTLY!!!!.....*mutters*"a yes google wot will they think of next!!"

[the_fallen_angel]

no they don't. they used marshalls till the mid eighties, when they switched to mesa boogies.

they didn't just "switch" to mesa's. marshalls were there main sound in the kill days but later on around a.j.f.a. they used mesa's and later during the black album they used modded mesa's with marshall pre-amps. in their recordings they've used soo many amps so really I think it's better to get your own sound and not try to get "exactly" some other player/s tone.

[Endless Obsession]

They said they cant play dyers eve live. It to hard and fast to play. But on there next tour i would like to see them play.

Damage Inc
Orion
Call of Ktulu
Metal Militia
Hit the Lights
...And Justice for All

[benfan]

[PepsiMetal]

Some people said they are currently in the studio. Dont know how credible that is.

[slaughteredfirst]

They should play

Leper Messiah
My friend of Misery

They played all of those songs but My friend Misery at the concert I went to a few months ago. :D



On a side note, I just watched SKOM on Vh1 it was pretty good, its a really well put togather documantry.

[I AM CANADA]

what do people think of the some kind of monster video? i saw it last night on vh1. i thought it was pretty good.

[circlethedrain]

I went to see it in the Theater and i thought it was good. I was also really happy to see that Kirk wanted to put solos in the songs but Larz and Bob Rock wouldnt let him :angry:

[I AM CANADA]

then after it on vh1 was when metallica ruled the world that was pretty good. but it had some stuff from some kind of monster in it.

[PepsiMetal]

I went to see it in the Theater and i thought it was good. I was also really happy to see that Kirk wanted to put solos in the songs but Larz and Bob Rock wouldnt let him :angry:

Again, Bob Rock didn't say whether there should be a rule of solos or no solos. Lars was the one that thought solos were classic and they shouldn't be put in there.

[PepsiMetal]

anyone in hear have a BC Rich and love it for playing metallica?

What BC Rich do you have?

Edit: Grr, I thought I edited the other post with this, not double post. First time I double posted. :upset:

[circlethedrain]

NO. I would have to disagree with you. He was against them having solos he was pupeteering (SP?) Larz.

[gothikid13]

What BC Rich do you have?

I have an NJ Series Warlock

[Endless Obsession]

I really dont see what the big deal about BC Riches are. I personally think they dont sound good at all. I would much rather have an ESP or Ibanez.

[Mister_Che]

I really dont see what the big deal about BC Riches are. I personally think they dont sound good at all. I would much rather have an ESP or Ibanez.

I hope you're not just folloowing popular opinion on this one. I love my Mockingbird, it's sucha clean guitar, it has some awesome tone. Besides, Dave Mustaine used to use a B.C. Rich NJ Bich when he played with Metallica.

[RiceMonster]

BC Rich get attention from their looks. When you see them, you think "holy ****, that looks awsome!", then when you actually play them, you see the truth.

[gothikid13]

B.C. Riches that are more expensive have a lot of versatility and i love my NJ Warlock more than any guitar ive played before (not many), it really is an awesome guitar though, i think everyone should have a chance to play an NJ series

[Mazeppa]

I hope you're not just folloowing popular opinion on this one. I love my Mockingbird, it's sucha clean guitar, it has some awesome tone. Besides, Dave Mustaine used to use a B.C. Rich NJ Bich when he played with Metallica.
True, Dave also played B.C. Rich guitars when he was starting out with Megadeth.

[gothikid13]

i think BC Riches are outspoken for the wrong reasons, ppl are comparing them to $1000-2000 guitars, and guitars that are meant to give a feel thats not heavy metal, if u dont like heavy metal dont play BC Riches, but if u like the heavy **** then ur just following the popular idea when u say that BC Riches suck

[RiceMonster]

Not at all. I love heavy metal, as my avatar shows. My guitar was only around 300 bucks Canadian, and I find it to be far better than any BC Rich I have played. It has nothing to do with popular opinion, I used to think theu were awsome untill I actually played one.

[gothikid13]

i own one (it was $900) and its far better than some $300 peice of **** that u could buy at a ****in privately owned music store in the middle of a small town

[gothikid13]

so who wants to talk about metallica again?, since this is a metallica thread

[Heidi]

True, Dave also played B.C. Rich guitars when he was starting out with Megadeth.

Yes. If you look in the booklet of "Peace Sells..." all the gear is listed, including the B.C Rich. Also in the music video for Peace Sell... there are close-ups of their nikes for the first 10 seconds. You gotta get your money somehow. :lol:

Pfft. You'd be suprised at how good guitars can be at lower prices. People seem to have their minds wraped around the thought that only expensive, and famous guitars are good. Seriously, try some brands you've never heard of, some will be absolutly terrible, and others will be very good.
