Metallica Inc.

[NoHero9]

^^^I know that all too well.......................


but really, saint anger is old news, who wants to hear it. but that addicted to chaos comment gave me an Idea:
someone take the dead horse that is St. anger, and make a cover song of one of the tracks and we will all have anal sex with it. (or just say it sucks)

[Farbio]

I know I may be one of the few but I really enjoy St. Anger. I have heard alot about the production concerning the quality of the drum sound, guitar sound and overall feel. But I think this album is still a worth-while listen. As for the other albums Metallica my favorites include of course their self-entitled master-piece.

[sacrifice93.2]

^^^^^Thou art an idiot
1) St. Anger is about as creative as whenever Lars Ulrich farts
2) Metallica's masterpiece was the Master of Puppets album

[Farbio]

Alright...incidently I only named ONE of their master-pieces. I guess I can see how that might be confusing buts it ok. Secondly, you aren't the first to tell me that you think St. Anger is crappola on a stick so please save your breath.

[superpeer]

^^^^^Thou art an idiot
1) St. Anger is about as creative as whenever Lars Ulrich farts
2) Metallica's masterpiece was the Master of Puppets album

Opinion?
:rolleyes:

[wheelsbolivar]

ya that was pointless, just like this run on sentence that i just typed.

[soundcheckxx]

I liked st. anger

but I have a gut feeling that the next metallica album is going to kick all of us right in the A$$

[Gernm18]

^^^ i hope so i really do

[UnknowN Doodl3]

^I also hope so. But i'm not getting my hopes too high, just in case.

If it is the album we are waiting for, I can't wait to see the reaction of every metallica hater in this forum.

[dougefresh]

*hopes to see Metallica in the Summer*

if they're coming to Detroit :rolleyes:

[superpeer]

/me bumps

[Jon]

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...

They play the intro, but really cool and half-fast and its so great because you're waiting for the main bit and its great and I've run out of adjectives...

[AParanoidIronMan]

you forgot to mention how you get an erection from the anticipation for it it change into heaviness

[dougefresh]

*bumps*

I would see Metallica next month but I'm going to be in Mackinac Island for the weekend and I don't wanna be up half the night then have to leave at 6:00 am

[UnknowN Doodl3]

--bump--
Why is it that there's only been one post in the whole weekend?

[superpeer]

Everything has been said about Metallica.

[Burdcheese]

Well we have had 1767 posts...
It can't be over though!

[Metallicat]

Hmm...nearly 90 pages.

Anyone know who's opening for Metallica in the US??

I heard Godsmack is no longer doing it :confused:

[superpeer]

Probably Slipknot.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

My friend (not even a metal fan) told me that marilyn manson, snoop dogg, eminem and fifty cent wee touring with metallica! :lol: :lol:

[flyguy86]

My friend (not even a metal fan) told me that marilyn manson, snoop dogg, eminem and fifty cent wee touring with metallica! :lol: :lol:

There is a tour with those people and The Used and Linkin Park... no Metallica though.

[Lateralias]

Just bought AFJA... great great album :thumb: , To Live Is To Die is probably my favorite song followed by One off AFJA.

[Lateralias]

Oh I think I might buy another 'tallica album here soon, should I get Puppets or Lightning next?

[Wanker]

Both5

[Jet Black Stare]

I get to see Metallica in calgary in may!!!! Im horny!!!! What kinda pyros do they have? and what covers do they do?

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Oh I think I might buy another 'tallica album here soon, should I get Puppets or Lightning next?

I'd buy both, but if you really mant to stick to just one album, then get lightning cause its the greatest. If you've never heard Fight fire with fire I wont spoil it for you....

[Gernm18]

get master of puppets or just get both they're both awesome

[superpeer]

Oh I think I might buy another 'tallica album here soon, should I get Puppets or Lightning next?

Ride the lightning, for sure.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

master of puppets isn't that good. get kill 'em all

[Metallicat]

master of puppets isn't that good.
:eek: that's news to me. Master of Puppets beats out Kill Em All in my book.

sure you could just get one...or you could start a collection like me. :D

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i like kill 'em all more than master of puppets. much more

[superpeer]

But the question was : RTL or MOP

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i can nothing say about that, i haven't heard the whole album. only fade to black and ride the lightning.

[superpeer]

It is the best Metallica album IMO.

[Metallicat]

My analyzation:

Fight Fire with Fire < Battery
Ride the Lightning < Master of Puppets
For Whom the Bell Tolls > The Thing That Should Not Be
Fade to Black > Sanitarium
Trapped Under Ice < Disposable Heroes
Escape < Leper Messiah
Creeping Death > Orion
Call of Ktulu > Damage Inc.

Ok, so it was hard to choose between each song... and i didn't try to make both of the cds equal on purpose but...there you go.

[ATC]

i reckon you shoulda compared call of the ktulu with orion,damage inc with escape and such. but for what its worth,i agree with you,metallicat.

[superpeer]

They're both great albums, but I like every song on RTL, and there's one or two songs on MOP that aren't bad, but aren't anything special either.

[Esp Griffyn]

I like every song on RTL,


even Escape?!

[superpeer]

Even Escape :p

[sacrifice93.2]

I do too. I dont' hate any song off of Metallica's first 5 albums.

[Wanker]

My analyzation:

Fight Fire with Fire < Battery
Ride the Lightning < Master of Puppets
For Whom the Bell Tolls > The Thing That Should Not Be
Fade to Black > Sanitarium
Trapped Under Ice < Disposable Heroes
Escape < Leper Messiah
Creeping Death > Orion
Call of Ktulu > Damage Inc.

Ok, so it was hard to choose between each song... and i didn't try to make both of the cds equal on purpose but...there you go.

Why would you pair those particular songs up? That was a completely random way to judge each album.

[superpeer]

He was just comparing the first song of both albums, the second song of both albums, and so on.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Call of Ktulu > Damage Inc.

:amaze: Please tell me you're joking.

[dougefresh]

Call of Ktulu is their best instrumental IMO

[FoUrStRiNgFrEaK]

even Escape?!

whats wrong with escape?

[Gernm18]

the best instrumental's gotta be TO LIVE IS TO DIE

[AParanoidIronMan]

the best instrumental is orion, 2 live is 2 die is a close 2nd

[SlaveToTheGrind]

how can you say that orion is the best instrumental? that song is so boring

[Metallicat]

i reckon you shoulda compared call of the ktulu with orion,damage inc with escape and such. but for what its worth,i agree with you,metallicat.

yea i'm thinkin so too but that would have made it harder to choose so i said f*ck it.

(I just took the tracklist of both albums and compared them so i didn't just compare random songs.)

I'm not even positive about my choices. it pretty much depends on what i'm in the mood of listening to a lot of the time. :p

[Metallicat]

how can you say that orion is the best instrumental? that song is so boring

..and I thought i had a bad attention span.. :lol:

That song is a masterpiece. If you can manage to sit all the way through the whole song you'll enjoy it. ahh...music to my ears. :)

[superpeer]

the best instrumental's gotta be TO LIVE IS TO DIE
It has lyrics. :p

[superpeer]

Call of Ktulu is their best instrumental IMO
/me agrees.

[Lateralias]

It has lyrics. :p

Well.. hardely any... :rolleyes:

[Lateralias]

err dang I havent heard Call of Ktulu yet. Is that on RTL?

[bassaholica2004]

call of the ktulu is wicked awesome. i think it is thier best instrumental. i like the ominous feel it gives

[borisdablade]

^^ Ktulu has its charms, esp the symphony version, but i have to say i like orion best. My fav is actually to live is to die but technically its not an instrumental, but i still recognise that orion is one of the metallicas best musical achievements, interplay of melodic and heavy is just beautiful.

Anyway on a completely different note ive found myself listening to a few songs off st anger lately, invisible kid and unnamed feeling. Structural problems aside i can actually appreciate what they were going for on these, particularly invisible kid, i really like the tone of the baritone jaymz uses, and the subtle little delay on kirks too. If you listen to it through headphones you can really hear all the little quirks in the guitarwork, if only the lyrics werent so cheesy, it may have worked :(.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

..and I thought i had a bad attention span.. :lol:

That song is a masterpiece. If you can manage to sit all the way through the whole song you'll enjoy it. ahh...music to my ears. :)
so tell me what's the masterpiece there? listen to sepultura's inquisition symphony. that's a good instrumental. by the way orion isn't a real metallica instrumental, 'cause when you look at the master of puppets cd you see that noone of metallica has written it

[grungeguitarist]

All of their instrumentals are awesome, its hard to pick a stand-out one.

[superpeer]

by the way orion isn't a real metallica instrumental, 'cause when you look at the master of puppets cd you see that noone of metallica has written it

:confused: what are you talking about?

err dang I havent heard Call of Ktulu yet. Is that on RTL?

Yep, the best album. :)

[Metallicafreak_28]

sorry for my poor spelling and grammar structure above. I was lazy too type everything.

[xtreme_skatah]

Is'n't Orion made by Cliff.

And when was the last time the guys played AJFA. I reckon that song kicks. I wish they would keep playing it.

[superpeer]

Orion was written by all four members.

[btoto]

by the way orion isn't a real metallica instrumental, 'cause when you look at the master of puppets cd you see that noone of metallica has written it

Yes I agree, they definately should play AFJA... one of my favorites.

[Lateralias]

and correct me if im wrong but I think Orion was wrote in memoration of Cliff

[Squirrel]

Orion is Hetfield, ulrich and Burton only. 2nd guitar solo = Hetfield, 4th solo (bass ) = Burton.

[Squirrel]

and correct me if im wrong but I think Orion was wrote in memoration of Cliff

No, thats *To live is to die*.

[Lateralias]

ah ok... danke :)

[Gernm18]

i agree all the 3 or 4 instrumentals(including anhestesia) are awesome

the call of ktulu is a piece of art and so is orion but to live is to die is just so powerful i love this song so much i listen to it when i'm stoned and i travel to the world it's awesome, the middle part is awesome it's incredible how 4 chords can make such a beautiful path of the song

^Sadly I doubt they'd EVER play orion live anymore...
That song was 90% written by Cliff and they haven't played it since his funeral.

Tapdancing monkey what about One, Ride the Lightning, Dyers Eve, Sad but True, Nothing Else matters etc etc ? you missed so many good songs on there.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

that are songs you like. maybe he doesn't like them

[Squirrel]

K it's slowing down in here ~ so...

What's everyones opinion of Load and Reload; what's your fave songs / solos, what do you think of the guitar and drum work, Hetfields voice ? etc

I personaly like both; if im not in the mood for some thrashy stuff Load and Reload are perfect to chill to, the slow tempo on most songs is good for just sitting and playing along to. I like Hetfields voice - he shows more of a range and more emotion on these two albums, finally i think the drums sound a bit more technical and more well suited to the songs, there were some quality riffs on the albums and some neat little interplay between instruments ?

Opinions ?

[grungeguitarist]

I like Wasting My Hate, Fuel and The Memory Remains from those albums.

[Squirrel]

Wasting My Hate is excellent; i really love the riff in the verse. I've got a good version of that live :). Those the only songs you like off those albums ?

Now playing - Metallica = Mercyful Fate Medley

[Symphony x]

fuel is pretty good

[SlaveToTheGrind]

the memory remains is good too

[Squirrel]

the memory remains is good too

Naa na nan naaaa naaan na na na. Yeah cool song :thumb:, come on people, no one else here like Load and Reload ?

[dougefresh]

I don't like Load and Re-Load at all. I'm not just trying to to be hXc fan or anything, it just doesn't float my boat.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

and what floats your boat? :lol:

[Squirrel]

I don't like Load and Re-Load at all. I'm not just trying to to be hXc fan or anything, it just doesn't float my boat.

By hxc fan do you mean true fan, because if you were trying to a hardcore fan you'd like them all. But meh forgotten what im saying now...

and what floats your boat?

I presume, Kill ---> Black/ Justice

[superpeer]

Load and reload aren't bad.

[superpeer]

Bumpity boo.

[Speedy Fingers]

King Nothing is awesome, i think so anyways!!!

[SlaveToTheGrind]

the memory remains is better

[Metallicat]

King Nothing is awesome, i think so anyways!!!

Hell yea, I love that song.

Anyone ever notice what he says at the very end of the song??

"Off to never never land..." :thumb:

[deadpuppy]

my personal favourite Metallica song is "Until It Sleeps"...i like the beat to the song and the powerful rhythm...i also love "For Whom The Bell Tolls"

[Speedy Fingers]

Hell yea, I love that song.

Anyone ever notice what he says at the very end of the song??

"Off to never never land..." :thumb:

Yeah, I noticed that, and they're not trying to get you to buy more of their CD's....they do the same ting in The Memory Remains:

"Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black......"

[NoHero9]

the fade to black thing in the memory remains was just a part of the song that fit, It has nothing to do with the previous song, "fade to black"

[superpeer]

Yeah, I noticed that as well.

[Speedy Fingers]

I'm sure it didn't but it is very coincidential!

[UnknowN Doodl3]

They also do that on St. Anger with damage inc.

"**** it all and ****in no regrets. Never appy endings on these dark sets." Damage inc
"**** it all and ****in no regrets. I hit the light on these dark sets... St.anger

[soundcheckxx]

they should start using some old guitar riffs too.

[Facsimile]

they should start using some old guitar riffs too.
Reusing lyrics is okay because they can be used in a different context, or be altered, as long as you don't take a whole verse or chorus and repeat it.
But in all honesty who wants to hear the same riffs used over and over?

[superpeer]

Yeah, Similar rifs would be lame.

[Speedy Fingers]

although the memory remains and fade to black riffs are kinda similar!

[superpeer]

Well the combination of notes isn't infinite.

[Element86]

Wouldn't that be scary if sometime in the far future, every single combination of notes had been used....oooh.

I just got Ride The Lightning on Saturday (my 7th Metallica album).....and why the hell did I only just buy this album now?! It is my new favourite Metallica CD, I like all the songs on it and even the lyrics are good (it just seems weird seeing good lyrics from Hetfield after St Anger ;) ).

I've been learning to play Battery on the bass (thanks to the new issue of Total Guitar) and have just about got it. Just some of those galloping riffs in the chorus catch me out.
Plus I'm learning Orion, Master Of Puppets, and the rest of Anesthesia alongside that.

What are everyone else's favourite Metallica songs to play (on any instrument)? I'm sure that's been asked before in this thread....but what do you expect from 94 pages!?

[Joeeddstealschickens]

most of them on guitar

and slither's riff sounds like enter sandman

[soundcheckxx]

it was a joke...relax

[UnknowN Doodl3]

I've been learning to play Battery on the bass (thanks to the new issue of Total Guitar) and have just about got it. Just some of those galloping riffs in the chorus catch me out.

What are everyone else's favourite Metallica songs to play (on any instrument)? I'm sure that's been asked before in this thread....but what do you expect from 94 pages!?

That question been asked already, but who gives? Anyway, my favorite song to play on guitar is either creeping death, FFWF, Master of Puppets. I've got more but these are my favs to play.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

master of puppets and seek and destroy

[superpeer]

Creeping Death and For whom the bell tolls.

[Metallicat]

Master of Puppets, Creeping Death, Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman, Sad But True, No Remorse, Seek & Destroy, shortest straw, damage inc, bad seed, wasting my hate, one, aint my bitch, outlaw torn....woah, gettin a little carried away i guess..heh

[ViperXX55]

Master of Puppets = fun to play on guitar, its also the only song I can play all the way through perfectly, (except the 2nd solo which I am still trying to get)


What does everyone think of the song Unforgiven 2?
I think its awesome, lyrically and musically, but Ive seen lots of people saying they hate it.... hmm.... Why is this? It just seems like such a great song....

[Element86]

I like Unforgiven 2, but not as much as the original Unforgiven. I preferred the kind of sad sound of that, and Hetfield's vocals sound a lot more....I don't know, sincere maybe. They're both good songs, but the first one is way superior in my opinion.

[thrashfanatic2010]

i agree with element, the first had something the second didn't , obviously more original, with 2 it sounds like they couldn't write another song to fill the album so they rehashed 'given and modified it

[Gernm18]

the songs i like to play alot are: blackened, dyers eve, to live is to die(let's say i like everything in ajfa and mop)

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Whats your opinion on the most complete album. I think it would be mop or ajfa. rtl has great songs on it but I think escape really sucks ***.

[Brew]

For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, Motorbreath, Master of Puppets, Anesthesia and some of Jason's solos from Live ****

All played on Bass :)

[Brew]

Whats your opinion on the most complete album. I think it would be mop or ajfa. rtl has great songs on it but I think escape really sucks ***.

Escape is probably my least favourite song of RTL, that album really does kick arse though.

[Metallicat]

Whats your opinion on the most complete album. I think it would be mop or ajfa. rtl has great songs on it but I think escape really sucks ***.

Escape is awesome IMO. It's a song about rebelling against what everyone else wants you to do and just doing what you want to do.

Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear the things that they say,
Life's for my own to live my own way

That's what I live by. :thumb:

[Gernm18]

yeah escape it's a good song but i still like ajfa and mop better than rtl
i dont know for example the songs in rtl are a little more simple(for whom the bell tolls) and the recording quality doesnt sound as good , and the singing isnt as good

and in ajfa the drums sound amazing and the guitars too and james' voice too, that album is perfect and so is mop

[xtreme_skatah]

Does anyone know the exact model of James' white ESP? I can't find it anywhere on the net. I only find LTD guitars. It's the one that says "EET ****"

[SlaveToTheGrind]

http://www.themetsource.com/equipment/james.html

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Who is your favourite member of Metallica? (this can include past and present if you wish)

[Squirrel]

James - he is the man, an awesome song writer and a great role model to me. He has gone through some awful times and whenever i feel bad he's one of the people i think of to perk me up.

[Platinum_warlock]

Did the new bassist have some sort of accident and they had to postpone some tour dates or is my radio station playing a mean april fools joke on me??

[Call of Orion]

It's a toss up for me between Cliff and James.
Cliff inspired me to play bass, which I love alot and plan on going very far with.
And James is Metallica, my favorite band.

[DimebagDarrell]

has to be cliff he was just an amazing bassist :thumb:

Members of the Swedish METALLICA forum Metallica.nu have joined forces in launching a project that they hope will result in a stone being erected in the memory of former bass player of METALLICA, Cliff Burton, who died in a bus accident just outside Ljungby, Sweden in 1986.

"Everyone that we have spoken to [is] positive to this project and wants to support us as much as they can," reads a post on the project's web site. "For example Aftonbladet (the leading newspaper in Sweden). "After some research that we have done we've heard that this project has been 'up on the carpet' before, but for some reason have not come to a conclusion."

r.i.p. cliff burton

Answer My ****ing Question You Rusty Nerds!! Newbie! Ill Get Kyle To Newbie Dance You!

[UnknowN Doodl3]

^^^I dont know!!!

For me James and kirk are tied because kirk is the reason I play guitar today and james, well, james Is the ****in Metallica!

[Gernm18]

i'd say james and lars, lars inspires me to play drums, his drums in ajfa are just ****in great and james is metallica his lyrics were so great back in the day and so was his voice and his riffs

[dougefresh]

Who is your favourite member of Metallica? (this can include past and present if you wish)

James. He writes great lyrics, good riffs, and his "YEAH" is ownage

[superpeer]

James.

[grungeguitarist]

I'd say James because learning all his riffs has made me such a better guitarist.

[timmccarty143]

id say cliff even though im a guitar player, hes so much cooler than any other bass player stylistically. like hes not better than john myung but his musics way cooler

and there would be no riffs by james if it werent for cliff

[Wierd-Shadow]

there riffs are so insane. That the only thing my Metallica I can play on guitar and its Ender Sandman.

[SilenceNOmorE]

Cliff. Him, Lemmy, and Geddy Lee changed the way people think about bass. Also, it's widely regarded by Jaymz/Lars/Kirk that Cliff really brought a very "musical" elemnt to the band and taught them much about classical music and composition. without this knowlege, Metallica would be just another ****ty thrash band, and not the GREATEST ****ING BAND IN THE WORLD!!!! :D

[SlaveToTheGrind]

James, 'cause he has the coolest guitar

[RideTheSpiral]

Hey guys. What's new?


Metallica ay...

*looks at watch*


Well see ya in another thousand posts.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

[Burdcheese]

James. He writes great lyrics, good riffs, and his "YEAH" is ownage


What about his "Oooooooh"?

[dougefresh]

His "wooooahhwoa" I hate that

[Gernm18]

i was wondering did metallica ever played live eye of the beholder, the frayed ends of sanity, disposable heroes and the shortest straw?

[Vai's_Jem]

I know they did play The Frayed Ends of Sanity in a justice medley once.

[Po0sH]

Yea in the justice medley they played a bit of Frayed Ends and Eye of the Beholder, but i dont think they played the whole songs live before

[Kickflip_Burrito]

My fave Metallica member was Jason Newsted, there was summin about him that inspired me (bass) and i thought he was an awesome rocker, but if we're talking about the present, I'd say Kirk, he is cool.

Thats not to say James and Lars aren't

[UnknowN Doodl3]

How many people think having rob in metallica is a good thing? How do you think it would influence the songwriting of a future album.(If there is any, but so far it seems so).

[bball_1523]

they played the entire eye of the beholder live once, I have a bootleg of it.

[Squirrel]

Godd thing. Personaly i prefer him of Jason ( stupid goblin features ), he seems alot better to me and has that kind of attitude that give Metallica a great stage image and presence. I think in terms of writing he's gonna try and take them back towards what they were; he's into old school music - punk/hardcore/thrash, so it'll be interesting seeing what he'll do for them.

Good news hearing about them *writing* new suff already though. :)

BEATALLICA, the Midwestern band which "covers BEATLES songs in the style of METALLICA, infusing the lyrics and arrangements of Fab Four standards with wonderfully unsubtle references to METALLICA's songs and a spot-on imitation of James Hetfield's distinctive vocals" (Ice magazine), have uploaded their new eight-song EP. The self-titled effort contains the following track listing:

01. Blackened the USSR
02. Sandman
03. And I'm Evil
04. Got to Get You Trapped Under Ice
05. Leper Madonna
06. Hey Dude
07. I Want To Choke Your Band
08. We Can Hit The Lightz

:lol:

[Burdcheese]

"wonderfully unsubtle" :lol:
I never would have noticed

WTF? are you joking or serious as hell?

[Burdcheese]

Wow - he was serious
More importantly its FREE!

[SlaveToTheGrind]

yes but i can't download it. it always stops at 50 kb

[Burdcheese]

It didn't work for me - at least it was a ridiculously slow bit-rate. I might try again later

[superpeer]

Yeah, that stuff is pretty funny.

[naboo]

i was wondering did metallica ever played live eye of the beholder, the frayed ends of sanity, disposable heroes and the shortest straw?

I think they have played Disposable Heroes live. Only before Cliff's death though. In fact im pretty sure I read that they played it the gig before that fatal bus accident.

[DimebagDarrell]

:lol: sounds very funny this beatallica album i have got to hear

04. Got to Get You Trapped Under Ice
07. I Want To Choke Your Band
08. We Can Hit The Lightz

:lol:

[Knifeboy]

Everyone, go download the pacemaker plugin, for Winamp, and listen to all the old trash metallica songs, at 20% tempo...
Metallica heavier than ever! :thumb:

[Burdcheese]

I finally got the Beatallica stuff using 'Torrent.
Its funny stuff and the Hetfield impersonation is pretty good - "Hell Yeah"

[wheelsbolivar]

Whos a better guitar player, Hetfield or Hammett?

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i haven't heard a fast guitar solo of hetfield, so i'll say hammet. but hetfield is a better songwriter

[Squirrel]

Hmm hard one, Hammett is alot better than he shows in their songs but the same goes for Hetfield. If you've got the black album dvd like me then you'll hear Hetfields demo solo for Enter sandman, shows off a bit of skill. I cant see Hetfield with his big hands and arms pulling off some huge shred solos though - just wouldnt look right. So i think Hammett is a better guitarist because he's good at lead and rhythm, but Hetfield can actually write and sing ;)

[SlaveToTheGrind]

right now, i'm listening to call of ktulu. and i have to say that that song is by faaaaaaaaar better than orion. the solo is better and the riffs are better and the song isn't as boring as orion is. :thumb:

[Burdcheese]

To Live Is To Die is better than both of them though...

[SlaveToTheGrind]

i don't know. maybe i'll check it out someday.. ;)

[NoHero9]

well, Ill have you know that there is only one solo in The call of Ktulu.

[SlaveToTheGrind]

yeah but that one is far better than all solos in orion

[Brew]

I think that they are as good as each other - they both show that Metallica can play more melodic stuff.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

To Live Is To Die is better than both of them though...

Case Closed :smash:

[soundcheckxx]

but orion has the bass solo...

[Brew]

but orion has the bass solo...


So does Ktulu!

[soundcheckxx]

were is there a bass solo in ktulu

[Brew]

Its not the same style as Orion..but its still there. Listen to Ktulu carefully and you'll hear Cliff's bass solo style in the background.

[Lateralus23462]

Although Ktulu is absolutely genious, I like Orion more. Ktulu has better riffs, but I like each of Orion's three solos more than Ktulu's. I like Orion more because it's more progressive. Ktulu's atmosphere stays the same (until the fantastic, almost triumphant, ending), while Orion changes throughout the song. But it's still a hard choice because Ktulu has one of my favorite riffs of all time (the one around 3:30).

[superpeer]

But the atmosphere in Ktulu is what makes it so great.

[UnknowN Doodl3]

Ktulu and Orion are both great instrumentals. That said, I prefer orion's riffs
( especially the one where there is A5, E5, C5 powerchords with open E mutes in between the notes)but I prefer ktulu's solo. Superbeer mentioned something about atmosphere. Atmosphere is what makes those songs great. Its what makes all songs by metallica great.

There's been some contreversy in this thread about including to live is to die as an instrumental. Why shouldn't it? As good as Ktulu and Orion are, in my opinion TLITD takes the title.

[Vai's_Jem]

Ktulu Live S&M is the best (period)

[NailHead]

okay, does anyone know anything about Metallica's next album. i hate to say that i've been sweapt in the rumors that St. Anger was their last studio album

[Gernm18]

to live is to die is an INSTRUMENTAL , there's no singing!

that's my favorite instrumental, then orion , then ktulu

i like orion better than ktulu cos i just think it's cooler, the call of ktulu gets kinda boring after a while cos it's the same riff over and over

[NailHead]

well...imo (which probably don't count much)
i LOVE orion, i don't know why, i can't explain it, but i can listen to it for a long time, over and over. Ktulu is good, but i can only hear it a few times, i hate to say that about a Metallica song, but there are a few I don't like.

[Metallicafreak_28]

there is singing on to live is to die dude l

[RNR]

Orion is great but for the first 3 minutes or so it is pretty boring. Then they get into the solos and it picks up.

[Gernm18]

if you call a speech singing then yeah to live is to die has singing

[Vai's_Jem]

Only a few more posts and this thread will reach 100 pages. Yay!!!

[Gernm18]

doesnt i depend on how much posts u have per page? i'm in page 79

[TripleJ]

yeah last page for me too

[SlaveToTheGrind]

for me too :naughty:

[SlaveToTheGrind]

hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?

[DimebagDarrell]

hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?

hmm... thats a tricky one but i would say phantom lord

[Burdcheese]

if you call a speech singing then yeah to live is to die has singing

Its not singing - its a few of Cliff's words said as a tribute to him - they're quiet and short anyway

hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?

Escape. It sounds so cheesy and dated

[Squirrel]

So anyone here like Metallica ? .....*Secret Bump*

[superpeer]

Me likes. :eek:

[UnknowN Doodl3]

hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?

Escape.

[Gernm18]

the worst song i'd say seek and destroy, it gets really annoying after a while

[RockerGav]

Can someone tell me what song has the video where metallica are playing on a sort of swinging platform thing and theres an old lady humming the tune?

I'm pretty sure its a Load/ReLoad song.

EDIT: Memory Remains

[dougefresh]

I think Seek & Destroy is one of their worst songs. It gets repititive, the riff is boring, the chorus is horrid, and the sound quality (as all on Kill Em All anyway) sucks.

[btoto]

WORST SONG?

seek'n'destroy. too annoying
did i make the page 100?

[Burdcheese]

did i make the page 100?

No you didn't


Metallica related topic:
Can anyone explain to me the reason that Metallica play The Ecstasy of Gold (from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly) before some of their concerts and why it's on S&M? (besides from the fact its a great piece)

[superpeer]

I like both seek and destroy and escape. :(

[xtreme_skatah]

I think that Ktulu is their best instrumental. I wish i can be so creative and make crazy riffs that are like that in a song.
