does metallica choose rob over claypool?

[Joe]

I like the bass, just I like guitar better.

to heavy metal kid: what???

[Endless Obsession]

does metallica choose rob over claypool?

They did choose rob over claypool yes.

When Newsted quit Claypool offered to join Metallica because he is one of Kirk's best friends. They said no most likely because he is too good for them.

[RustedPieces]

does metallica choose rob over claypool?
What the hell?

Who's claypool?

[Joe]

Dude, they chose Rob over Claypool almost three years ago... have you been on earth lately?

[JonG]

I saw SKOM last night :\ Didn't like the whole positive influence bull****, and Hammett and Hetfield playing Gibson :X

Anywho...I'm obsessed with the song And Justice For All.

[LarsAgi007]

Your one of many obcessed with the song AJFA, Great song if you ask me!, I have accually just learned the intro to it, Its pretty easy....
So to all the guitarists out there!!! A drummer here can play it! :thumb:

[JonG]

Yeah, I learned all of One the past week. Great song for leads.

Funny how almost my favorite songs on MoP,RTL,AJFL are the self-titleds :P

But, I think I almost like The Call of the Ktulu or For Whom The Bell Tolls better than RTL.

[Pantera in Chains]

What the hell?

Who's claypool?

:lol:

[LarsAgi007]

:lol:

Quit spamming the thread Boyo! :thumb:

[metalcritter666]

Any news on the next album?

EDIT: LarsAgi007, what's your MSN/AIM/YIM?

[LarsAgi007]

Any news on the next album?

Its all the same really.. They are 100% definatly starting recording their next album January 06 :upset:
They have some song ideas written down...

I have a source that speaks regulary with Lars Ulrich!! His name is Jaymez (Nickname anyways.. His real name is Tiernan, I think I spelt it right, and hes from Beatallica.. The lead singer

lil_Agi@ hotmail.co.uk

[Joe]

Les Claypool offered to join Metallica? I never knew that...their sound with him in the band would be so different than anything so far, I'm willing to bet. He's definitely far more inventive than most bassists out there, although how that would go with Metallica's music to date might not be so good. I'd like to see it though, just to see if they could reinvent themselves successfully after some really mediocre albums. If anyone could help do it, Claypool would be near the top of the list...

wow you haven't posted here in how many years? :lol:

Yea, they tried out Claypool and a couple of other pretty good bassists. Check out SKOM, it goes thru their tryouts

[metalcritter666]

I thought they'd be starting it earlier. I bet were going to wait for ages for it to come out now. :angry:

[LarsAgi007]

I thought they'd be starting it earlier. I bet were going to wait for ages for it to come out now. :angry:

Yes, I agree the wait is a pain in the ***, But hopefully, It will all be worth the wait, Rob has already proven he is worthy of some good material!

[Sandtrap]

but will rob help write the songs or will hetfeild and ulrich kinda take over again?

[metalcritter666]

but will rob help write the songs or will hetfeild and ulrich kinda take over again?
Well James and Lars always write the songs often with Kirk and/or whichever bassist and the whole band partook on St. Anger, I personally think Robzilla will write some stuff on this album.

[heavy metal kid]

Rob already said that him and metallica already have a lot of material for the next album, maybe is gonna be a double disc album.

[metalcritter666]

That would be so awesome...I think Puppets/Lightning were let down by the fact that there were only 8 songs on them.

[Leper]

That would be so awesome...I think Puppets/Lightning were let down by the fact that there were only 8 songs on them.

meh, it left less room for a possibly crappy song. :p

[heavy metal kid]

none of the first four metallica albums have a crappy song.
maybe the next wont have any.....

[metallicapeppermint27]

[JACKROXYOU]

[blue3]

Well he posted in the page before this one so yeah

[JACKROXYOU]

ive been gone for a long time

im still in second for post in this thread by like 300 posts

[PepsiMetal]

Are you racing to see who can post more in metallica forum? lol

[JACKROXYOU]

welcome to page 500 dude

but its been over

[Chu]

Yes! I thought it was that...

I haven't been on in days... I'll work on a review
Thanks man

They did choose rob over claypool yes.

When Newsted quit Claypool offered to join Metallica because he is one of Kirk's best friends. They said no most likely because he is too good for them.
I think I read somewhere that when Cliff died Claypool asked if he could join, but one of the guys basically said "You're way too good for us", but I dunno, maybe I was just trpping.

[vashts80]

Yeah, it was either right after Cliff died or during the tryouts for Cliff's replacement that Claypool offered to join and they said basically that he was too good for them.

[heavy metal kid]

maybe Metallica dont wanted to get a better bassist than Burton

[6stringslinger]

Not trying to drift off the subject

Has anybody seen the video clip of Rob Trujillo snowboarding on the bonus DVD that comes with SKOM...He looked as if he had been doing it for sometime!!

[Joe]

does gocaps still come here?

i'd say so

Are you racing to see who can post more in metallica forum? lol

that was a long time ago... then metal_militia that hasnt been here in awhile got all mad and called us spammers...even tho we were a bit. but that's past

Has anybody seen the video clip of Rob Trujillo snowboarding on the bonus DVD that comes with SKOM...He looked as if he had been doing it for sometime!!

yea man! he's pretty good!

[kill_em_all]

Did robzilla have any input on the basslines on st anger, or was it all bob.And has anyone heard of bob rocks band "rockhead"

[Skit]

Rock did all the bass :thumb:

[kill_em_all]

ok i love the bass in "my world" its smart. i cant wait to hear what rob can really do.

[Squirrel]

how the hell do you guys have anything worth talking about anymore

[metalcritter666]

how the hell do you guys have anything worth talking about anymore
What do you mean?

[Happy]

I think he means we keep talking about the same things over and over, like is st anger good or bad, who played bass ect.

[Mazeppa]

What do you mean?
I think he's wondering how the thread got so big, and keeps getting bigger.

[munky_magik]

how the hell do you guys have anything worth talking about anymore
They don't :)

[metalcritter666]

I think he means we keep talking about the same things over and over, like is st anger good or bad, who played bass ect.
He's got a point actually. We need to think of a new topic.

[CemetaryGates9]

ok. New topic. This has probably been done before, but put the Metallica albums in order of favoritism.

[Joe]

They don't :)
/spam. lol

well that's why we should keep going on with Chu's idea, you know, review a song. I'm supposed to be doing a Battery review... but in the meantime someone can do somethin else

[Deth]

ok. New topic. This has probably been done before, but put the Metallica albums in order of favoritism.
Oh boy has this been done before.

Here's a topic, who would be an ideal opening band for Metallica? Keep it realistic though. My vote goes to Iced Earth.

[CemetaryGates9]

ANthrax. Velvet Revovler. Shadows FAll.

[lilmetallica]

It would be weird if echobrain opened up for them but i doubt thats gunna happened :lol: but a serious answer might be velvet revolver or maybe megadeth(never gunna happened though :rolleyes: )

[Deth]

I don't think the fans would be too happy with VR. I wouldn't be anyway. Anthrax would be amazing though.

[metalcritter666]

Exodus/Heathen, please not any more nu-metal bands.

[Deth]

I saw them with Godsmack (who I hate) but at least they put on a pretty decent show.

[Mars Ulrich]

depends on era of metallica you are talking about Kill 'em all-And justice, Black-Reload, or St. Anger. There are very good songs from each era (exept St. Anger IMO) and each song from the different eras are very different.

how is everyone missing out the mighty ride the lightning (album)? IMO fwtbt has to be up there with Metallica's best songs.

[Mars Ulrich]

I saw them with Godsmack (who I hate) but at least they put on a pretty decent show.
VR kikass, but i think the best eva concert line up wud b iron maiden and metallica (playing old stuff coz the new is nowhere near as good)...that wud b awsome!!! comments anyone?

[metalcritter666]

That was ages ago though.

[PepsiMetal]

Iced Earth? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would except Iced Earth to open for a band like maiden more than metallica. Would be cool if they did though.

I wouldn't mind seeing Soad open for metallica.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Anthrax or Slayer

[dethmetalhead]

some other kick *** metallica songs are:

seek and destroy
blackened
the god that failed
harvester of sorrow
for whom the bell tolls
to live is to die

[dethmetalhead]

That was ages ago though.


It doesn't matter how old the song is. It is obvious that good albums, like ride the lightning, stand the test of time

[metalcritter666]

That's what I meant...that quote he posted came from a long time ago. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forums by the way. :wave:

[Deth]

First of all, don't double post. Second, punctuation is good, as is spelling and correct sentence structure.

Battery's not hard, there are good tabs at mxtabs which as far as I can tell are very accurate.

A new Metallica album will probably come around next year, and all bets are off on what it will sound like.

[Joe]

Oh boy has this been done before.

I actually had a dream a few weeks ago that at the Velvet Revolver concert that i'm going to next weekend that they'd have a surprise guest that would turn out to be Metallica... but anyways I think Velvet Revolver would be a cool opener

does anyone no wen a new metallica cd with new songs is coming out it had better be like master of puppets but scince hetfield blew his voice on black album its probly going2 sound like a mix of iron maiden and nirvana like st anger lol.

it better be better than IM or Nirvana. Metallica can't go grunge and the IM singer gets to me after awhile... and it won't be out until '06 or '07. I know you're new, but please try actually typing rather than typing like it's AIM or something. and by the way, welcome to MX

yeah i no but it dosent seem lke it follows the guitar. do you no how 2 play it on bass cuz i need help not just encouregment and or sympythy.

i think bass would be hard just because they were talking about how rob did it so much better than jason and he did a good job... but i haven't tried battery. once again, please type a little more normal, thanks.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Battery is not the easiest of Tallica songs on bass.

And in response to 'Who would make a good open act for Metallica', I would have to say CKY and Corrosion Of Conformity. Are COC still going? I think they are but feel free to enlighten me if I'm wrong.

[I am the Master of Puppets]

Does anybody know where to find a pic of Master of Puppets that fit the dimensions?

[wicked_child]

Battery is not the easiest of Tallica songs on bass.


IMO, its enter sandman.

[wicked_child]

Does anybody know where to find a pic of Master of Puppets that fit the dimensions?

you can just download a pic and resize it.

[heavy metal kid]

IMO, its enter sandman.

yeah enter sandman is very easy but i also find Creeping death basslines very easy

[Chu]

Gocaps is lazy.

To the thing about who should open for Metallica:

TESTAMENT

The bands are a lot alike, and they both kick huge amounts of ***. If any of you 'Tallica fans haven't checked out Testament yet, do so ASAP.

Thanks, I'll check em out :thumb:

[Deth]

Testament would also be very cool. Metallica don't seem very good at finding opening bands.

[fatbandit]

About the guy wanting to play Battery - break it down into smaller sections, and learn them, then string them together. Also, if you don't use 3 fingers on your plucking hand, it can be quite a workout :)

However, seeing as posting is boring apparently, you'll never see this, or be able to ask me more about specific bits you need help with... :rolleyes:

[Six Foot Revolver]

The Metallica FA written by Jason is a brilliant read. I highly recommend you all go read it :thumb:

Metallica should open for Testament; because they are far far far better.

[LarsAgi007]

Metallica should open for Testament; because they are far far far better.

:lol: Best laugh of the day! Thank man :thumb:

[VicRattlehead99]

Testament might open for megadeth on there new tour along with children of bodom.

[metalcritter666]

The Metallica FA written by Jason is a brilliant read. I highly recommend you all go read it

Read it, nothing new, good read though.

Testament would be a good opener, yes, but Anthrax would be better IMO.


EDIT: to LarsAgi007 --- have you blocked me on MSN? :confused:

[fatbandit]

Someone who won't take Metallica's spotlight would be an ideal opener. Some of this new Metalcore stuff could be quite cool. Or maybe someone like Mudvayne?

[metalcritter666]

No, no and no. Well maybe KSE, but I think Metallica should have thrash bands opening for them. And Mudvayne opened for them on the Sanitarium Tour 2003 along with a bunch of nu-metal bands.

[fatbandit]

I see no reason to have to have pure thrash bands open for Metallica. Metallica isn't even a thrash band anymore (About half the set or less is going to be from their old school days, yes?). Metalcore is popular at the moment, which would create a crowd pull. Just my view.

To be honest, I don't hugely like Mudvayne, I just love watching Ryan's playing on their videos! :P

They pretty much sell out whereever they go, they don't need to draw any more crowds. Plus, they only play like 3 or 4 newer songs, the majority of a Metallica concert is the thrashier stuff.

[MAthiAS]

Yes, really. I'd hate to see Testament or Anthrax have the shame of opening for Metallica. And I'd hate to have to pay $55 to see them.

[Happy]

Metallica really don't need a support act, they're so huge. I think they should do a solo tour and extend their playing time for another hour.

[Huber]

Yes, really. I'd hate to see Testament or Anthrax have the shame of opening for Metallica. And I'd hate to have to pay $55 to see them.

Unnecessary...

Anyways, big deal. Someone is going first, the other second. They're still both there, and you're still going to get an awesome show.

[Deth]

Metallica really don't need a support act, they're so huge. I think they should do a solo tour and extend their playing time for another hour.
It's just kind of customary to have an opening band. I would rather see Metallica play 3 and a half hours a night, but it's not happening.

[metalcritter666]

I don't think so.

[RustedPieces]

They're not touring right now. They're on vacation then they're going to start recording sometime in 2006.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I suggest everyone go read heavyriva's article on metallica.
It's good stuff, very informative.(although i knew most of the stuff)

[VicRattlehead99]

Can you put a link to it or at least where to go.

[Thor]

They're not touring right now. They're on vacation then they're going to start recording sometime in 2006.
Well that's good for them. They've been busy for a long time and I think they deserve to have a break.

I'm kind of skeptical (spelling?) about their upcoming album. I really hope they step it up from St. Anger and bring back the good old days of Metallica, just the way the true fans want it to be.

[metalcritter666]

They're not touring right now. They're on vacation then they're going to start recording sometime in 2006.
Yea that's what I suspected. I was just curious.

[Rothmans]

I heard there gonna try and record this year and try for a mid 2006.

Can you put a link to it or at least where to go.

Is kirk going to make a new signature model?

Review:The four Horsemen

The four horsemen is the most complex song off their first album,Kill em all. This song also has a lot of history behind it. When dave mustaine was in the band he came up with a song and lyrics called the mechnix, which is about a job of dave's where he was a mechanic and supposedly had sex with a girl in her car that he was fixing. When dave was kicked out of the band, James decided to change the lyrics and add more to the song. He changed the name to the four horsemen. Dave mustaine has the mechanix on Megadeth's first cd: Killing is my business.

The intro is a quick little punk sounding riff which then leads to a sort of slower version of galloping picking. The main riff is a cool sounding palm muted zeros and open power chords. The chorus riff is simply power chords. This whole cycle repeats again and then it goes into a very cool sounding part of the song. It's fast plam muted E string and then plays G to G# on the A string.Then it goes into a part of the song that was added when dave left the band.It is probably one of the coolest sounding riffs ever. It is like a litttle scale followed by power chords. Then it is just plam mutes with open powerchords. then the song goes into a slow interlude which was also added to the song. Kirk adds a solo in this part of the song. It Then it goes back into the Fast palm mutee E string and then the G-G# power chords on the A string. Then it goes back into the main riff and plays the main riff and chorus,then goes back into the Fast palmuted e string and G-G# power chords on the A string, Then Kirk plays a dave mustaine solo to finish off the song. The Lyrics seem much more "metal" than the Mechanix lyrics. The lyrics in this song are more of a power metal band kind of lyrics, different from the rest of the cd.

"By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company

The horsemen are drawing nearer
on leathere steeds they ride
they've com to take your life
Off to the dead of night
with the four horsemen ride
or choose you fate and die"

The Best part of the song is the part that starts at 2:03 and ends at 3:25
That riff just gives me chills down my spine.
The first solo is very fluid and fits well with the song, it's not as technical and just plain fast shredding like the other solo is. The second solo is a nice way to finish of the song, just a plain thrash speed solo.

Overall I would give this song a 10 out of 10
I think it is just perfect in every way. The best song on the Kill em all album by far.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Good review, would've been better if the bulk of it wasn't just about what chords are played.

[Thor]

I've spent most of the day listening to And Justice For All. I don't know about you guys, but I think that this album is incredible.

Who else thinks One is one of Metallica's best songs?

I think the Frayed ends of sanity is the best song off that album, or maybe ..and justice for all. can't decide. One is a great song aswell

[Thor]

I thought that Frayed Ends of Sanity was one of the weaker songs on the album, actually. The best songs off of that album are Blackened and One.

Yea thats what i thought when i first got that cd, but then i listened to it and the riffs are just amazing, they get stuck in my head very easily especially the riffs at 3:20-4:25

Sorry, but you just can't compare the Blackened riffs to any other riffs on that album. They are complex and awesome. Plus the solo makes me want to throw up the horns every time I hear it.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Blackened has a lot of good riffs aswell, the solo is just incredible in that song

The riff at 5:00-5:10 is really cool

I am now listening to the shortest straw, this song also has great riffs

[Endless Obsession]

....And Justice for All is Metallica's best song. If i could only listen to one song for the rest of eternity, that would be it.

[Thor]

....And Justice for All is Metallica's best song. If i could only listen to one song for the rest of eternity, that would be it.
That's a **** good song, and I was actually just listening to it. I wouldn't pick that as my one and only Metallica song to listen to. I would probably pick Blackened.

Eh, I disagree. It's a great song, it's just I'd rather listen to Fade to Black for eternity

[FlyingPaul_83]

What does everyone think of my review fo the four horsemen?

it's on page 875

[madlyinangerwithu]

rob is a great bass player he has an awesome stage presence. MoP, Unforgiven, and For whom the bell tolls are the best songs. Do u really think St. Anger is Nu Metal? I dont think so but I dont know what actually makes Nu metal nu metal so if someone could educate me that would be cool.

[KillemAllforOne83]

I've spent most of the day listening to And Justice For All. I don't know about you guys, but I think that this album is incredible.

Well of course it is. I love the frayed ends of sanity more though..

[Deth]

One of the best songs on their best album. My favorites are Blackened and Dyers Eve though, they bookmark the album so perfectly.

[Joe]

What does everyone think of my review fo the four horsemen?

I liked it. I really like the song, but I don't think I'd give it a full 10. It's one of my favorites on KEA, but I don't think it quite deserves a full 10. Maybe a 9.5 or a 9.0 at the lowest

[Deth]

9.75 for me. Very close to my favorite from KEA.

The whole KEA album to me, sounds like he has hair in his mouth :\ My favorite would be ...And Justice For All.

[FlyingPaul_83]

9.75 for me. Very close to my favorite from KEA.


what is your favorite?

[Deth]

It would be a tossup between The Four Horsemen or Whiplash, depending on how thrashy I'm feeling.

Mine would be a toss up with metal militia and no remorse for second place, behind the four horsemen.

[RustedPieces]

Seek & Destroy is a classic song too.

[JonG]

Seek and Destroy is pretty good. I'm a big fan of Fight Fire With Fire.

[Joe]

ok well i'll do a review for fade to black

Fade to Black was written in the early 1980s and was released on the 1984 album, Ride the Lightning. It was written after the band's equipment was stolen (I think on a northeast leg, maybe in Boston) and James was depressed about losing his favorite amp with a certain tone he loved (I think it was a marshall stack). I might be completely wrong about James' equipment, but that was the story that I know.

It starts out with a soft, mellow acoustic intro played by James. A few seconds into the acoustic, Kirk begins one of his more soulful and incredible solos. Following the solo, another acoustic riff by James comes into the song (Am, C, G, Em). The interesting thing that I like about this song is that there really isn't a chorus with lyrics, just distorted guitars and heavy drums. Honestly, the little riff right after the chorus I don't really consider a solo. It's kind of like the riffs on For Whom the Bell Tolls, it's just a quick riff a little different that's sort of solo-y but not quite. The "chorus" is followed by another verse of depressing lyrics that sound like someone who wants to commit suicide wrote them.

"Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me.
Deathly lose, this can't be real.
Cannot stand this pain I feel.
Emptiness is filling me,
To the point of agony.
Growing darkness taking dawn,
I was me but now he's gone."

Metallica really came through for the last few minutes of the song. Post 2nd chorus, a brand new heavier riff along with a verse. Fading towards the end, there is a quite "goodbye" followed by the coolest melodic guitar riff I have ever heard. It includes heavy distortion, a great combination of guitar work and overall just amazing tone and creativity. After they finish the whole riff once, they begin again and start a wailing Kirk solo. The solo is full of quick finger movements and triads and was named the 26th greatest guitar solo ever recorded according to Guitar World. These solos are the ones that make me angry when people say "Kirk sucks" or "He's just a shredder." All three "solos" in this song are full of soul, talent, and skill.

Overall, obviously, this song is an 11 out of 10. It combines the softer, quiter talent in Metallica along with the hardcore incredible skill that Metallica consists of.

By the way, if anyone didn't know that's my favorite Metallica song.

[RustedPieces]

Nice one.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Nice review, That riff at 3:56 is one of the coolest riffs i have ever heard in my ****in life

My favorite lyrics in that song are
no one but me can save myself but it's too late
now i can think, think why i should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
but death greets me warm,now i will just say good bye
Goodbye"

Coolest lyrics ever.
I would give the song a 10/10

[RustedPieces]

Nice review, That riff at 3:56 is one of the coolest riffs i have ever heard in my ****in life

Yeah, so simple too.

Fade to Black is a great tune.

yeah. i didnt know anything about metallica until my cousin played that song. i asked him who sang that and he said metallica, the next thing i know, im heading to a music store looking for ride the lightning.

ok guys, i'm off to bed. goodnight :wave:

[madlyinangerwithu]

U know what im sick of. everyone saying Metallica are sellouts because they sued napster. I live in Oregon and all i hear about is how people hate them and how they suck. Am i missing something or is everyone crazy ive listened to Metallica since i was born. in 84 when i was born the only way i would go to sleep is when my parents would play RTL or kill em all. Music has gone way downhill and im sick of all these people who take what they hear on the news and think that they are right. Metallica did NOT sue napster they started to and dropped the lawsuit...sorry i had to get that out of my system some people just make me mad. When Metallica releases their next album i hope it Knocks all of those boybands off the top just like st anger did

[madlyinangerwithu]

...sorry for the rant

"Sellouts?, the only thing we sellout is the stadium everytime we play!"

S&M is a great CD i love that cd, i think almost all of the song on their are as good if not better then the originals, do u guys think there will be another S&M? even without Michael Kamen?

[Chu]

Sick review Gocaps :)
We're pretty much on par for liking that song, I think.
Although, sometimes I really like (prefer?) Orion.

[madlyinangerwithu]

what Metallica song would be good too learn to play bass, something easy but more then just a few riffs, ive learned Motorbreath and My Friend of Misery but they are pretty easy. i want something that will take a little more effort but will not be too hard, Metallica is just too good hard to learn their stuff. any suggestions would be cool if any of u play bass

[FlyingPaul_83]

My review of the four horsemen is on pg875 if anyone wants to see it.

Try learning for whom the bell tolls or call of ktulu

[vashts80]

Bells is actually pretty easy for bass, it took me one or two tries to nail it (7 months playing)...I'd say learn Puppets, Battery, or Blackened.

[madlyinangerwithu]

yeah bells is also one i learned its basically a finger exercise but i will try those u guys suggested...ive been playing my bass for a year and i suck...i need lessons its hard to learn on your own. Thanks guys


METALLICA RULEZ!!

[Deth]

Try the Call Of Ktulu on bass for fun. There is a good tab on mxtabs which is really hard to play with really fast hammers and pull-offs and stuff. Fun!

Uoh oh, attack of the fanboys !

Theyre far better song writers and are better than Metallica live, by a very very very long shot.

Oh, ok whatever you say... I think Testament are ok accually, I wouldn't of heard of them if it wasn't for the interview with the lead singer... He was saying how much Metallica has influenced the band.... This was on a DVD I have called Metallica - Dark Souls... I am not a fan boy of Metallica, And I think that Testament are very very Underated.. In all honesty 99% of people I know have never heard of Testament in the U.K...

[Squirrel]

hmm, almost interesting.

[fatbandit]

Ah well. Being the 'best' band is all subject to personal preference. Some people may think that Busted are a better band than Testament or Metallica. You and I know they're wrong, but if they enjoy their music more, who is to say they're wrong? Obviously someone is getting enjoyment out of the music, which is what its about, not rivalry between bands' fans. Not everyone can listen to metal, or even the same metal bands. People are diverse. Live with it. No amount of talent can save bad music or just music people don't want to listen to if executed in some ways.

However, I like Metallica better than most bands, so I wouldn't worry about my liking Busted or something ;)

Psh, you know what I mean. We know that in our opinion that they're wrong. Better? :P

[madlyinangerwithu]

I agree with u fat bandit but there are bands that should not even be where they are today...for example boybands...they really have no talents but people still listen to them that does not make them good that just means that people didnt grow up with the good music and the good people like us who listen to the good music. Dont get me wrong i respect anybody who tries to start a band but if they dont play instruments and they lip sync how can i respect that? u cant bands like Metallica get called sell outs while all these other bands start out as sell outs. Sorry but i have no respect for any band that cant write, sing, or play there own music. Metallica has kept it real whether people like them or not you have to respect what they have given to music and their fans...but anyway...im ranting again so ill stop.

I just love Metallica sooo much ive grew up with them and theyve always been there for me and im sick of people talking **** about them. theyve been here for us we should be there for them. They are hands down the best Metal band and the best band ever. People just need to show more respect to them dont get me wrong i like other bands but Metallica is next to noone. Ive finally found a forum with people like me. u guys rule. Metallica Forever.

"Sellouts?, the only thing we sellout is the stadium everytime we play!"

[madlyinangerwithu]

well im outta here for awhile but ill talk to u guys later sorry for ranting, but Metallica is just a sensitve subject for me. i just want good music to stay alive. no more boy bands :( i cant handle it anymore...

I'm really sick of naysaying wankers writing them off when all they've heard is St. Anger, which is IMO their worst ever song, it requires less skill to play than a lot of other 'Tallica songs...here's a hint, listen to FtB, Sanitarium.

EDIT: see ya, madlyinangerwithu dude :wave:

[madlyinangerwithu]

St. Anger is a great album it was wrote about their emotions it wasnt something they wanted to be really hardcore they wanted to focus on getting the message through for example frantic and unnamed feeling where it really made u feel like u knew what James was going through with his therapy. I liked that CD and all of their CD's, yes St.Anger is not their best work but it is good. but i agree with u metalcritter666 its no their best CD. MOP is probably one of my favorite songs especially the S&M version it shows that a metal band can actually sing and have good technique. which is why i love Metallica, there not afraid of taking chances and when they do they always do a good job...Most people dont like St. Anger very much but it was #1 on the billboards so obviously their doing something right.

What? the main criticism of Metallica is how their sound has change dramatically, not that St. Anger is a crap record. Most of the people who have only heard St. Anger are fanboys.

I never said I didn't like it. I like the whole album, I meant the sound not the lyrics.

No. I'm talking about the people who write off Metallica and have only heard 1 or 2 songs, because they are a 'rock band'. I'm not talking about fanboys.

[PepsiMetal]

This sellout/posers/fanboys/crap should stop. What happening to people listening to bands for enjoyment? People here complain for every little thing a band does. Lol, who cares, if a song is good, listen to it. If it's not, then dont. Complaining isn't really going to fix a song, or saint anger for that matter. I think everyone understands the album's drums were very messed up, but some people still might like that. :confused: Maybe...

Im just hoping on their next album, they make a few softer songs like sanitarium, fade to black, nothing else matters, etc. They should just use normal drum sounds and add solos. That'll make moi happy. :p

[LarsAgi007]

Believe it or not, its not really S.t Anger that caused a fan outrage... Basically, they brought down Napster which ultimatly pissed people off, loads of fans were burning there cd's on the news and their official site accually got hacked with LEAVE NAPSTER ALONE placed on the main screen...
Anyway, Just as fans start believing in Metallica again, they come out with S.t Anger.... It saw alot of fans off, but as Metallica have always said, We don't make music for the fans, we make music for ourselves, And Me for one am honoured to have Metallica share there music with me...

[VicRattlehead99]

I completely agree with you madlyinangerwithu st.anger is a good cd the only thing i dissagreed about it was there are no solos and i think solos are important to a thrash/heavy metal band such as metallica and no that i know there will be solos again on there next album i am just as excited about it than any other one of there cds in the past.

I agree, Music is there for people to listen to! Millions of albums are out there on the shelves, if you like an album, buy it! If not don't!!

Critisizing an album will not make it better, I mean, some people claim to hate S.t Anger, yet they spend all their time speaking about it? It doesn't really make sense. Have you heard S.t Anger songs live??? They fit in just the same with the old material... The only thing most people dislike about the album, Is the crunchy guitar, and the Piccolo Snare...

It's not that they dont annoy me, it's the fact that I dont care about them and the bitching.

Thanks for the advice. I need all the help I can get, I'm not the greatest at writing songs.

On another note, can anyone play Jason's bass solo on the San Diego DVD?

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I can play most of it but not by heart, I need the tabs infront of me as guidance. The only thing I get stuck on is the second riff in My Friend of Misery. The main riff I can do easily its the second part with the 7's, 5's, 0's and 9's. I know that sounds easy but the movement over the G, D and A strings is annoying.

[Thor]

Can you possibly record it? I really want to hear someone else do it.

I downloaded the Apocalyptica-One song and I think its cool how they have a different horn/violin for the lyrics and guitar and stuff but I would rather listen to the Metallica version on AJFA (this was my first time hearing a symphonic cover)
How did you find out about Apocalyptica and do you know what that means?

[PepsiMetal]

I like that apocalyptica. Do they only do metallica covers or what? Those were pretty neat. I like how they added instrumental vocals. Nice stuff. :thumb:

I also liked Dream Theater's cover of MoP although guy's voice was unhetfield, and their stage presence is pretty bad excluding portnoy. But they're great nonetheless.

[wicked_child]

apocalyptica is so cool! nice renditions of metallica songs.

[LarsAgi007]

Can you possibly record it? I really want to hear someone else do it.

I cannot play that solo, But I can play the one he does when Jaymez says ''Oh Hell Satan if you please''!!
I play it on a downtuned guitar, take of treble, in fact it sounds lower than a bass...I will record it for you sometime....
P.s I will have a go at the other solo for you, I know My bass play can do it, I will get him to record that one also

[Chu]

Well Enter Sandman is a bit overrated, but something that would sound like that isn't that bad of an idea. Thanks, dude.

What about something like the double bass blasts from One, with some Petrucci speed, I dunno, something from Train of Thought.

I can do one, it's just I won't be so interested since FTB is my favorite song and Unforgiven II isn't

I call unforgiven II!!! I'll do it tomorrow night, I'm off to bed now. :wave:
Yeah, I agree, Fade To Black is probably my favourite, (Well one of them, Orion > Fade To Black imo, but for lyrics, Fade To Black hands down), I think an instrumental version of Fade To Black would rock, but just cause vocals have never really interested me, and I think the lyrical subject of Fade To Black drags the music down, but could it work the other way?
If you just listen to the music, I get a sense of achievement, but when the lyrics kick in, it's like 'Oh snap!'....

Thanks man, I'll be waiting for the review, I wanna find _decent_ songs from Load/ReLoad (Does such a thing exist? :o) :)

Decent songs from Load/Reload do exist in my eyes, but I suppose everyones opinons would vary.

From the Load album, my personal favourites are:

The House that Jack built
Hero of the day

From The Reload Album, My favourites are:

Fuel
Low Mans lyric
FiXXXER! (My fav reload song, I love the lyrics)
Attitude

P.S Here is a copy of the Fixxxer Lyrics, I think they are great....

• Fixxxer

(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
One for each of us and our sins
So you lay us in a line
Push your pins, they make us humble
Only you can tell in time
If we fall or merely stumble

But tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

Mirror, mirror, upon thy wall
Break the spell or become the doll
See you sharpening the pins
So the holes will remind us
We're just the toys in the hands of another
And in time the needles turn from shine to rust

But tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

Blood for face, sweat for dirt
Three Xs for the stone
To break this curse a ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun, pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins
Renew our faith, which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love
To fall in love
To fall in love with life again

So tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

No more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me

The subject matter:
It describes how a person (represented by a voodoo doll) has suffered physical and/or mental pain from his father (religious: god).

Bleeding me is an awesome song, Just brings back bad memories of when I tried taking on 3 girls!!! I thought it would have been fun, its just there was only one of me :upset:
I am not a miracle worker lol

Metallica rocks to much to say about them to say it in one post. all i can say for now is that theyr concert was great... I more like the songs from the first 5 albums(eccept for nothing else matters caus my opion is just that i don't really like the song)
Then fuel and ain't my bithc are great just as the garage days cd's but i''l think my favourite cd is Kill em all(live **** ofcourse best live album) But that's my opion ofcourse you people decide

[VicRattlehead99]

My favorite from re-load is Devils Dance am i the only one?or do you not consider it one of the best on re-load, i dont like much from load,and is there newest album going to be called overload i heard that some where?

[Happy]

I doubt the new album will be called Overload, I don't think 'Tallica have a name yet. My favourite Re-load song is Prince charming.

[Chu]

Yes, WAY way way!!! too much information
Nice new avatar man :)

My favorite from re-load is Devils Dance am i the only one?or do you not consider it one of the best on re-load, i dont like much from load,and is there newest album going to be called overload i heard that some where?
Actually, I like that song, it is the only one I like, I guess it doesn't sound as 'country' as the other songs.

[acefrehleyjendell]

I finally realised that i shouldn't hold some of Lars' actions against Metallica as a whole. Lars is well.... he's a bit of a Lars sometimes, but i have been listening to an awful amount of Metallica of late, and i just keep loving them more and more every day.

I'm listening to Fade to Black right now. Hands down the best Metallica song.

[PepsiMetal]

My favorite song off of reload is memory remains. I wouldn't exactly say fade to black is their best song, but it is one of the best. Best would probably be sanitarium, blackened, battery, or seek and destroy.

Memory Remains is a top song, i like that song and Where the wild things are.

I guess i would just say Fade to Black is my personal favourite.
I keep liking Metallica more and more, and i have a few favourites now.
I've loved Metallica for years, but i stopped listening to them for about 4 years.

Right now, my favourites are :

Fade to Black, Blackened, One, Dyers Eve, To Live is to Die, Helpless (yes i know it's a Diamond Head song), Motorbreath, Whiplash, For whom the bell tolls, Battery, Seek and Destroy, Metal Militia, Call of Ktulu

[FlyingPaul_83]

I like that apocalyptica. Do they only do metallica covers or what? Those were pretty neat. I like how they added instrumental vocals. Nice stuff. :thumb:

I also liked Dream Theater's cover of MoP although guy's voice was unhetfield, and their stage presence is pretty bad excluding portnoy. But they're great nonetheless.


Ithink thay also cover tool and some other band. I'll upload some more songs from them.

That'd be cool, thanks :)

[FlyingPaul_83]

Here is creeping death by apocalyptica

[PepsiMetal]

You didn't upload MoP when I tried it was fade to black. :( Thanks for creeping death though.

[FlyingPaul_83]

oops, well let me upload it then :)

[Chu]

Yeah, I grabbed One and Fade To Black (Both are awesome, by the way) but when I tried to get Master of Puppets, it said it was Fade To Black.

Edit: For the review idea: Feel free to review covers aswell, this is especially to gocaps, review the cover of Fade To Black (There are quite a few bands who cover it, you can review their versions, if you want).

[metalcritter666]

[metalcritter666]

I don't think Apocalyptica is anywhere as good as Metallica.

[PepsiMetal]

Apocalyptica are very good now I see that. :)

Although in one, distrortion part sounded a bit weird. But fade to black is just AWESOME!! Thanks FlyingPaul_83. :thumb:

[Chu]

I think they're pretty **** good though, to be able to play Metallica's songs on wind instruments (They are wind?)....

[metalcritter666]

I just don't like the sound of the cellos playing powerchords, it sounds......wrong.


EDIT to chu: String, not wind :)

Either ...and justice for all or Master of puppets, I can't decide.

[lilmetallica]

for me its MoP i ove how it has more than 1 meaning it can be for disposable heroes cuz of the crosses and it can be for MoP the song be cause theres those hands with the strings like a puppeteer pulling your strings comanding them even in death or commanding them to do what they did that made them die...( i really like the dot dot dot... :D)

[blue3]

I like the And Justice For All cover

[Carlos Santana]

I like the Black album cover....

..
//lame/

i personally like the ...AJFA cover

[RustedPieces]

I like the AJFA cover too. Puppets is ok.

[Huber]

For the cover art, I'd have to say Ride The Lightning
