[vashts80]

Mustaine is a good guitarist, but Friedman was/is better than him. Maybe not now that Friedman is in j-pop and not metal anymore, but back when Friedman was in metal he was the better guitarist.

[Mazeppa]

I think he is. He hasn't got his reputation as a great guitarist just because he was in Metallica, you know.
No no, Friedman > Mustaine. Don't get me wrong, Mustaine's great but Friedman is better. It's a shame he went out so early in the polls.

[PepsiMetal]

Mustaines not even better than Friedman though.

Kirk isn't better than hetfield either. :lol:

[Joe]

Megadeth solos aren't always shredding, gocaps. Even their fast ones aren't really shred compared to say, Yngwie, or in thrash terms, Forbidden.

not all of them, but i don't really like the way mustaine solos

No no, Friedman > Mustaine. Don't get me wrong, Mustaine's great but Friedman is better. It's a shame he went out so early in the polls.

agreed, it's a shame that mustaine is still in the polls

[Endless Obsession]

Kirk isn't better than hetfield either. :lol:

Hes a million times better at lead.

[Joe]

[Deth]

No no, Friedman > Mustaine. Don't get me wrong, Mustaine's great but Friedman is better. It's a shame he went out so early in the polls.
I agree, though I don't think Friedman could be the primary songwriter of a thrash band.

[Mazeppa]

I agree, though I don't think Friedman could be the primary songwriter of a thrash band.
Actually he's a very capable songwriter. I have two of his solo albums and one of them could fit into speed/thrash metal.

[Deth]

I guess I just keep thinking of Mustaines voice and Friedman's style and I can't see them working. I know he can write good songs, but 80's style thrash I think would be weird.

[Mazeppa]

It worked brilliantly on Rust In Peace.

[Deth]

Oh, I know that, it's just I can't imagine Friedman writing the entire songs, not just doing the solos. RIP is in my top 3 albums ever.

[ThrashMaster27]

Marty didn't write any songs on Rust In Peace though.

[ThrashMaster27]

not all of them, but i don't really like the way mustaine solos

Like I said to you before. Actually hear more than 3 Megadeth songs before you make a judgement on daves solo capabilities. This is what pisses me off about this thread, half of you have no clue what you're talking about, you just defend Metallica all the time.

Dave isn't in the polls anymore, he got voted out. Plus he's there for his songwriting and Guitaring. You don't agree, then go have a cry.

[vashts80]

Marty did however write a few of the solos on RiP.

[ThrashMaster27]

Jason Becker. My favourite guitarist.

[Kyle]

i have been playing guitar for about 5 months and have decided to learn my first proper (more complex) solo. Im learning the unforgiven and for a change im enjoying it and sticking with it. After i have mastered this what are other solos about the same level as this (i.e not really hard, but not simple either)

[vashts80]

"The Outlaw Torn"
"Bleeding Me"

[PepsiMetal]

I agree with the other guy. Take the megadeth BS to their thread. There is a reason there are 2 seperate threads for each bands. If you dont like metallica, stop bitching and go to megadeth thread. I dont like megadeth and I dont go flaming them in their thread.

Hes a million times better at lead.

Just because kirk does leads in metallica doesn't necessarily mean he's better than hetfield. They're both great, but overall james is much more skilled than kirk.

cheers, they both look do-able

NEW TOPIC: Bass guitar on the Justice album. Do you think it was recorded?

I personally don't think it's recorded, it's simply not there.

And I know that SOMEBODY is going to act like he's all smart and be like "Turn on the bass function on your CD player and there's bass!" because you're a fool. Bass is the lower end of anything, from the snare drum to the bass drum to the guitars to the vocals. Bass guitar is a guitar that specifically brings out this range. Bass and bass guitar are NOT one and the same. I'm talking about BASS GUITAR, not the low end of your voice.

I PLAY bass and I can hear bass, I cannot hear the bass at all. It amazes me.

[willis2441]

yeah you cant really hear tyhe bass in AJFA,but jason is still a vey skilled bassist

[ThrashMaster27]

Indeed he is. The first F & J album is great and shows how good his Basswork is.

[vashts80]

I haven't been able to get his work with F&J, only the stuff from after he joined 'tallica. :\

Mind sending it? :x

[flamesofbodom]

Flotsam and Jetsam, one of the bands Jason was in before Metallica.

I love that band. I didnt know he was in it. I learned something today...

I would upload some if I had the CD, but I don't. Might be a bit tricky burning a vinyl to the computer, a vinyl that's not even mine! call myself a fan eh? I only have Desecrator on MP3 format and that's from the official site.

Jason is now on Voivod, right?

[ThrashMaster27]

Correct. Jasonic I think he's named in Voivod.

What about Echobrain? Whatever they were playing in SKOM seemed pretty cool.

[fatbandit]

He left Echobrain to be their manager, as they were fed up of being the band with Metallica's ex-bassist in.

No. Echobrain was garbage.

yea, Master of Puppets, Fuel, No leaf Clover, and One are the best songs on there. it's the best version of One i have ever heard

[munky_magik]

The orchestral arrangments on S&M, for the most part, were abysmal.
They sounded so badly like a tacky afterthought instead of being incorporated into the songs.

I dont care as much for hammett as I do for hetfield. He is an exellent musician. Does lots of work in metallica. Like I said if he and jimmy page switched spots, hetfield would have gotten 70 votes and page 20. It's just lots of people here are classic rock fanatics. lol. At least most of the time it seems like that. It's pretty weird though like one poll hetfield gets 50 votes and next poll 20. I mean surely not all those 30 people had guitarists in second poll they liked over hetfield. Cause there were many good guitarists in the first poll as well. Ahh, politics. Complicated. :thumb:

Drummer? Never knew he plays drums. I guess we learn something new everyday. :) But yea, hetfield does bunch of stuff in metallica. He does like 60% of work and kirk/lars do like 20% each. I guess that's how it is.

[DisposableHeroes]

I dont think James has ever written a bass or guitar part in Metallica

You can see him playing drums with Lars on the San Diego DVD.

I dont think James has ever written a bass or guitar part in Metallica
I think pretty much all the rhythm guitar parts have been written by James. And he recorded the bass on Hit The Lights.

[DisposableHeroes]

Bugger, i meant to say drums rather than guitar. He only played bass on an early demo version, which i'm sure was nothing special, if you can play guitar you can play bass.

[JonG]

Lars' best drumming is on Dyers Eve, hands down.

[DisposableHeroes]

You know he didnt play it all the way through when recording, right?

[metalcritter666]

You know he didnt play it all the way through when recording, right?
/shrugs

[no_panic]

I think that Lars' drumming isn't that mysterious or wonderful etc. I think he's just an average drummer with the ability to make normal beats sound good. He's a lot better song writer than he's a drummer, if you ask me. But still I like his attitude.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Lars does the job competenly, but IMO a better drummer could've made their songs much more interesting.

[Deth]

On some songs on RTL, the drumming is just weird. It almost seems off-time.

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, true that. I've also noticed that in a lot of the demos and other stuff before Kill 'Em All. He seemingly can't keep a beat at all at times, which funnily enough Ron McGovney said.

[Deth]

He's a lot better on MOP though.

[Bass_Man_2k5]

He's an ok drummer , but i feel there are far better ppl who cud play in Metallica. I think Joey Jordison upstaged him at the Dowload Festival 2004. IMO of course. :)

[fatbandit]

I feel maybe his drumming isn't the best, but I'll say it again, not every band can be made up of the best members. And no single band is! However, Metallica has 4 very good members, each of which make it Metallica. Without Lars, and his business sense, Metallica wouldn't be so rich probably or in the public eye possibly. Also, look at how many writing credits he gets, and then think 'woah, none of these kickarse Metallica songs would exist/sound the same without Lars...'

I also think many people get into drumming through him and he's more than competent!

[BassMasterMike88]

Even though i think that James actually holds the beat more then Lars cause of his control on guitar, I think Lars call most of the shots and Metallica woudn't be where it is now, i'm not sure whether that would be a good or bad thing.........

[fenderbender89]

If you want to hear a NEW metallica song go get or rent SKOM and go to the bonus or special features on disc 2 and go to "ROB SNOWBOARDING" and in the background you can hear a new metallica song!!! and if you play it with the subtitles you can read the lyrics.

I think it's called Temptation, I might be wrong, but that's what I'm guessing.


EDIT: to sackman - I got it too, but I think it's weak. Nothing is on par with what you'd expect from any Metallica show. Lars skips a few beats, and the guitars sound dull. I believe its from Load/Reload era, because theyre playing in E flat.

Didn't they only perform it live on the "Madly in anger with the world" tour? or am I thinking of something else?

I may be thinking of To Live is to die.

They play in E flat a lot. on the MIAWTW tour, some of you may have noticed they played 2 steps down, in D, instead of 1, for their encore (at least at mine)

I actually like it. I think it sounds so much cooler when they tune down and play it. I've played One 4 steps down on my acoustic and it's incredible

what is it

[DaveTheAmazing]

Doesn't anyone but me think that that live Dyer's Eve mentioned a page or two ago is disappointing?

[metalcritter666]

what is it
It was a joke, foo'. :lol:

[Six Foot Revolver]

Their new album is coming out in 2 weeks. :lol:
I thought it was out tomorrow :eek:

[Joe]

what is it

it's not. there are plenty of rumors going around that they are or aren't in studios, they can't record an album in 2 weeks and produce it

Doesn't anyone but me think that that live Dyer's Eve mentioned a page or two ago is disappointing?

and one, just because the lars doesn't double bass

[Huber]

Yeah, double bass made those two songs.

[vashts80]

That Dyers Eve is from the MIAWTW tour. The MIAWTW tour show on 3/5/04 (LA Show 1) was the first time ever that they played Dyers Eve live in it's entirety.

IMO, Lars's best drumming is on Puppets.

[RustedPieces]

I thought James' voice was a little sketchy on the live Dyers Eve.

[Huber]

James' voice is always pretty sketchy live IMO

[DisposableHeroes]

He should try go Black album era voice

[Huber]

Yes, the Black Album's vocals are very good.

[Carlos Santana]

someone posted a vidoe fo Dyers Eve?

[Joe]

That Dyers Eve is from the MIAWTW tour. The MIAWTW tour show on 3/5/04 (LA Show 1) was the first time ever that they played Dyers Eve live in it's entirety.

IMO, Lars's best drumming is on Puppets.
I saw The God That Failed for it's first time in 10 years.

I didn't really like that setlist, at the LA Show

and to the people talking about black album voice, he blew his voice on that tour. I doubt we'll ever hear that kind of a sound

[vashts80]

His voice IMO at this point will never be the same...he's getting older, his voice is getting deeper.

IMO, his voice was best on the Justice and Black Album tours as well as the '99 tour (S&M, Woodstock, etc)

Edit: If somebody has TGTF live from this tour, could you please upload? That's my favorite song on TBA, it holds a lot of meaning for me.

[RustedPieces]

He only blew it out because they were covering "So What".

[Mazeppa]

He only blew it out because they were covering "So What".
I can't understand why they bother covering that song.

[metalcritter666]

I can't understand why they bother covering that song.
Its funny all the same.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I can't understand why they bother covering that song.
metal guitar what is your MSN?

Sorry for the spam

[Endless Obsession]

I would say that they are all at their musical peaks on ...And Justice for all.

[Six Foot Revolver]

So I decided to put the black album on :chug:

[cliff solos for all]

yes

[JACKROXYOU]

eh.. i dont know

[exup]

Did anyone ever heard a bass guitar on ajfa during a song.. not a "only bass" part.

[metalcritter666]

Did anyone ever heard a bass guitar on ajfa during a song.. not a "only bass" part.
Yeah, you have to listen really closely.



Where is there a bass only part on AJFA?

[exup]

i don't know.. but i just sayed it cause thats what i don't mean.
the bass from mop is great, that bassist was much cooler that all others.

[metalcritter666]

That bassist had a name.

[Chu]

Hell yeah :thumb:
:)

[exup]

no kidding.. i just couldn't came on the name so i tryed to talk myself out of it.
i know he had long hair and a mustache and he was killed in the tourbus.

[Whale and Wasp]

Did anyone ever heard a bass guitar on ajfa during a song.. not a "only bass" part.
yeah......like metalcritter said, cause the bass usually plays what the guitar does so its hard to distinguish

[metalcritter666]

Its really quiet, even though Jason used a pick which you would think would make it louder.

Has anyone heard Napsterbegone, or is it just a pisstake?

[JonG]

no kidding.. i just couldn't came on the name so i tryed to talk myself out of it.

I'm referring to the person he described..

Just watched the video of Dream Theater doing Sanitarium (Welcome Home). It wasn't bad, never really liked the vocals that much.

[lilmetallica]

It probably is fake. has any one ever heard the kid rock & metallica version of turn the page(its live)? i just listened to it and its not all that bad.
Its welcome home (sanitarium). You reversed it ;).

I liked the vocals, well not really just the part where he goes "Speak To Me!" and then the solo, I prefer that to Hetfield's version.

[vashts80]

atm, I'm preferring LaBrie's vocals to Hetfield's. LaBrie has quickly risen to my favorite vocalist, faster than Bruce (Maiden) rose above Hetfield and Mustaine. LaBrie, it took 5 minutes to rise above Bruce/Hetfield/Mustaine/Reznor/Araya

:x

I like the DT version of MoP more than 'tallica's own atm.

I bet I sound like a ****ing jackass asking this but who is LeBrie?

IDK im guessing hes the singer from DT because they were comparing the MAster of puppets versions each did.

[Joe]

I bet I sound like a ****ing jackass asking this but who is LeBrie?

yea, i agree with blythe. he's probably the DT singer.

[Chu]

He is James LaBrie (All good singers' names are James :o).

[Joe]

He is James LaBrie (All good singers' names are James :o).

james hetfield, james labrie, who else?

[Endless Obsession]

james hetfield, james labrie, who else?

He was obviously being sarcastic. Because Labrie sucks.

[ThrashMaster27]

James Labrie is a trained singer, he doesn't suck.

[vashts80]

Dream Theater are:

James LaBrie - Vocals, Percussion
Mike Portnoy - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
John Myung - Bass, Chapman Stick
John Petrucci - Guitar, Vocals
Jordan Rudess - Keyboard

BTW: LaBrie and Dickinson are argueably the two best vocalists today.

[lilmetallica]

Whose dickinson?

[Six Foot Revolver]

The singer for Iron Maiden

[Chu]

james hetfield, james labrie, who else?
I dunno, I wasn't being serious, it was just on topic :evil:

Imo the guy from Blind guardian owns them both.

Dont forget Russell Allen from Symphony X, that guy is a monster. :thumb:

the singer from dream theater is an acquired taste...not every one likes him...but he pales in comparison to het of course when they covered MOP

[metal_milita]

THANK YOU, imaginary rep points for liking same singer as i do.
If you have any doubts, listen to Candlelight Fantasia or Of Sins and Shadows, this guy beats James Hetfield, Labrie, whoever you throw at him.

and back to metallica.... your turn

Each to their own mate, I personally think LaBrie pwns, but oh well.

[willis2441]

hi thread,what we talkin about?

[Huber]

I think ZP Theart beats the guy from Symphony X, and maybe LaBrie, but I haven't hear much DT to judge.

/opinion

[PepsiMetal]

hi thread,what we talkin about?

About Lebrie not being the best singer today. Some guy said he is the best singer today. But yea, that guy in blind guardian just gives me goosebumps. His voice is so different and awesome. I can't really describe it in words. If you like Blind Guardian, you know what I mean.

[Deth]

About the DT version of MOP, it's just too clean for me. It's not dirty and sloppy enough to be fun.

[Otherside]

What do you mean sloppy? If MOP is played sloppy it sounds crap.

[fatbandit]

Best singer = Mike Patton

[MrSigma]

Does James Hetfield do the voice of the Kool-Aid Man?

"Oohhhhh Yeahhhh!"

What was the name of the singer in Metallica before James played guitar? (In 1981)

Does anyone have that mop by dt video? I'd like to see it again, but am unable to find it anywhere.

I haven't seen that yet.

[LarsAgi007]

Do you mean a music video? If so i have never heard of it. I am led to believe that the theme of the album Master of puppets, was based from a film released? everyone who died in the film was represented by a small wooden cross, not even names were placed on them, they were just body number 2265 ect:...

The song Master Of Puppets is about drug addictions but the cover of MoP is to do with the concept of Disposable Heroes, about conscription.

[Chu]

I have it.

Edit: Also have a video of them doing Sanitarium, but the quality isn't as good.
Also have an .mp3 of them doing the whole Master of Puppets album.

Ok, before I do check Dboon's free music thread, second last page (I think page 7). (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325372&page=7&pp=25) There's a Cacophony video I uploaded, let me know if the link still works. If it doesn't ask for it again in Dboon's thread, it could use a bump.

[Huber]

If your looking for stuff like early Metallica, check out Testament (The Legacy, The New Order, and Practice What You Preach are good albums), Slayer (get Raining Blood), Megadeth (get Rust In Peace), and some Anthrax (Among The Living is a great album).

[Chu]

thx,,. im not so very good at english, well i mean, which band plays like metallica

Oh, you're looking for thrash.
Well, there's a Titans of Thrash thread, that would be your best bet.
But just a run down on similar bands:
Exodus
Kreator
Megadeth
Heathen
Testament
Slayer

Yeah, that's all I got for now.

Have you listened to Megadeth before? They're worth listening to, they have a kinda similar style to Metallica.

What was the name of the singer in Metallica before James played guitar? (In 1981)
I thought james was the only singer. He does sound like a different person though. Kill em all has really high vocals but St. Anger is really low.


NP: MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!!!!!

[Mazeppa]

James has always sung in Metallica, it's just his voice has changed alot over the years.

His vocals change greatly on each of there albums except load/reload


Metal Guitar what is your MSN?

[metalcritter666]

Nope. Metallica definately had a different singer for a short time.

[TheDMV]

^Did they release any albums with him though? I know at least on Kill 'em All, James' voice is waay diffrent, mostly because he can't hit those high notes. I don't mind it, but I know some people do. At least he doesn't try and do that any more.

They have always had james but after they picked up bob rock as manager his voice got all screamy in my opinion.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Dude are you dumb? they have always had james but after they picked up bob rock as manager his voice got all screamy and gay in my opinion.
He is dumb because he doesn't know anything there is to know about metallica?
People like you are why I hate this thread :)

[VicRattlehead99]

If you guys get cliff em all it has MOP,Seek,Creeping,Am i evil,Damage,Whiplash,Four horsemen,Fade,no Remose,Metal Militia,and For whom the bell tolls plus alot of bass solos.

No you ****ing fag, I'm not dumb, Metallica had a different singer for a short time in 1981, so stfu please. James played guitar and some other dude was singing.

[VicRattlehead99]

Okay Okay the reasone i said that was because i see you in here alot so it is apperant that you know alot about metallica i said that jokingly no meaning of making you mad and i thought you meant recently not in 1981.

[Mazeppa]

Nope. Metallica definately had a different singer for a short time.
In the band "Metallica" James has always been the singer. He may have played guitar with a different singer in a small band in his early teens, but once "Metallica" was formed, James was the singer.

How come you ignore this everytime I ask :(
This is the first time I see you ask, so when I next see you, you'll find out.

[QUOTE=metal guitar]In the band "Metallica" James has always been the singer. He may have played guitar with a different singer in a small band in his early teens, but once "Metallica" was formed, James was the singer./QUOTE]

Thats actually not ture, at one point James didnt think he was a good enough singing so they got a guy named Sammy Dijon, he rehearsed with them for about three weeks and never played a show...then James went back to singing.

[JackSnack]

if you could be gay with 1 metallica member... who would it be?

No you ****ing fag, I'm not dumb, Metallica had a different singer for a short time in 1981, so stfu please. James played guitar and some other dude was singing.

[Sandtrap]

People like you are why I hate this thread :)

Well in that case you should probably hate yourself...here a direct guote from Ron McGonvey that you might find interesting:

"At the time it was just Dave playing guitar and James was just singing. It got to the point where James had said that he didn't think he was too good of a singer and he only wanted to play rhythm guitar. So we found this singer named Sammy Dijon who was in a local band called Ruthless - he rehearsed with us for about three weeks but we never played a show with him. They told Sammy it wasn't working out and James went back to singing again."

Ron, fall 1996 SHOCKWAVES

Dont put others in this thread down before youve dont the research...it will only make you look stupid in the end.

[Mazeppa]

I checked my book and I see you're right. I take my hat off to you.

After practising unsuccessfully for three weeks with a singer called Sammy Dijon, borrowed from a local band called Ruthless, Metallica decided that for the time being James would indeed continue to sing but that Dave would handle all the guitar parts.

Dont put others in this thread down before youve dont the research...it will only make you look stupid in the end.
He didn't put anyone down, he just hates it when people say someone is "dumb" for no real reason.
