[KillemAllforOne83]

I like the Metallica Font on Ride the Lightning

[Endless Obsession]

My favorite cover is the Kill Em All. That picture is awesome.

[PepsiMetal]

I have wallpapers for KEA, AJFA, and RTL. Oh and black album of course. (:lol:) AJFA looks coolest imo. Like statue of a woman holding that money thing. RTL cover looks cool, but graphics suck. It doesn't look as real. Kill em all is neat. Mysterious for that matter. Cause there is actually a shadow of someone's hand there. :p

[willis2441]

the master of puppets cover is hella cool

[Endless Obsession]

AJFA looks coolest imo. Like statue of a woman holding that money thing.

Trivia - What is her name?

[willis2441]

Trivia - What is her name?
lady justice?

[Chu]

*Mumbles something about patriotism*

[PepsiMetal]

A messed up version of statue of liberty. :lol:

I always think of that statue as statue of liberty with money. Dont know why.

[madlyinangerwithu]

(Although i hate talking bad about Metallica, the gods of metal)

this has already been discussed, but I'm gonna say something from load or reload, there isn't a single bad song on any of their other albums

[Chu]

this has already been discussed, but I'm gonna say something from load or reload, there isn't a single bad song on any of their other albums
..AJFA is an album full of bad songs... (Weee :wave: Hey Metallifans! :cool: )
Every other album has at least ONE respectable song, ok, maybe not Black album.. Or Load... Or ReLoad... Urgh, ok.

[MetalMilitiaMan]

thats not true . . .AJFA WAS in fact their last thrash metal album

and its one of my favs cause they really put a lot of emotion into each song.
not to mention speed.

[Chu]

It was their last, and it was ****.

[MetalMilitiaMan]

. . . im sure you think that but i bet millions of other fans including me think other wise

[Chu]

:lol:

[MetalMilitiaMan]

.. i win

[Ulysses]

I wouldnt say it was ****, I prefer Ride The Lightning and Kill Em All but ...And Justice is still a great thrash metal record.

[madlyinangerwithu]

load, reload, and black album had no respectable songs?! what the **** are u talking about? Enter sandman, Nothing Else Matters, King Nothing Bleeding Me, Outlaw Torn, Fuel, Unforgiven II just to name a few. Chu you have no taste, how about a little diversity in what u listen too

[Chu]

I listen to HEAPS. I will give anything ONE chance.
But seriously, Black album, Load and ReLoad are just horrible.
Maybe it's because the band went from being this ****en sick thrash band, to a piece of **** mtv band :x (I'm not saying they sold out, I just ****en hate them for changing their style, even if it's what they wanted to do, they're ****en gay for it, St. Anger was a step in the right direction, but it just wasn't enough).

[madlyinangerwithu]

i dont understand most people would say black album was their last best album and that st. anger sucks. but i agree with u st. anger is a step in the right direction more solos will help the next album. but i dont think they are an MTV band thats just wrong. Load and reload had good songs but they did not flow well songs that were unorthadox like low mans lyric and outlaw torn good songs but kind of threw off the albums but Metallica has NEVER released a bad album...of course im biased i grew up listening to them. but i respect your opinion chu even if its not a good one ;)

[MetalMilitiaMan]

exactly.

even though their change isnt great i still respect them because obviously they were going thru lots of s*** up until st. anger

I'm speechless, a Metallica fan respecting an opinion, this one's rare :lol:

I think St. Anger's better then AJFA tbh. The lack of solos? I don't care, chances are I could play a better solo then Kirk these days, he's gone, history.
The drums are what gave me the ****s. Stupid Lars, seriously, the guy's a fat dick. I grew up listenning to Metallica too, my first cd I ever had, my first REAL musical experience was with Ride The Lightning, it blew my mind, and paved the way for Master of Puppets, but in my opinion, Ride is their best CD, followed by Master and Kill 'em All both tied at a very even second, and then St. Anger somewhere, then.. They released other albums? Oh yeah, **** ones :D
But nah, they haven't been doing justice to the name Metallica since like 1990. It's gay, Lars' steals this sick METAL band name so he can create a band that slowly tears itself away from metal. It's horrible.

[MetalMilitiaMan]

. . now i just hope better things will come since all or atleast most of their issues are resolved.


. . thrash metal changes . for the better

[Chu]

You cannot say a change from Master to even AJFA was "for the better".
Master is a musical masterpiece, AJFA is.. ****.

[madlyinangerwithu]

i cant belive u just said that Chu...i can never talk to u again...sorry...kirk would tear u to pieces i saw them in concert last year and kirk did a kick *** solo...i dont know im speechless now i cant believe what i just heard

[madlyinangerwithu]

chu u dont like any songs out of load reload or black album? or is it that u just dont like most of the songs?

[Chu]

I dunno, I hate the guy, James and Cliff were the driving forces behind the legend that was Metallica. Cliff dieing, and then James giving up alcohol, that was the final break. Maybe if they all went through mid-life crisis, grew their hair long, took up drugs again, and just spent like 6 months in a recording studio, Kirk taking guitar lessons again, this time focus on theory, so he can compose a decent solo :P

Nah, there are about a 5 songs after Master I can say I like, well, that's not including St. Anger, which isn't bad imo.

[madlyinangerwithu]

u think it was them stopping drinking and drugs that made them bad? it was the drugs that made them go crazy...there is always going to be an album that your not going to like. its not that they stopped drugs or because they were depressed its because everyone likes something different and thats what Metallica does they adapt to what people like in their music. so you didnt like it when they changed from thrash but more people started to like them...but to me they are great i like most metal and im easy to please especially when it comes to Metallica.

[Chu]

More people started to like them, because they're mtv metal.

Edit: By the way, alot of my flaming directed towards etallica is just because I find it hilarious to get you guys psyched on such a thing.
Metallica fans react so fast to anyting about their band, and they're always quick to throw in some defense, even if it's not 100% accurate. I think it's funny.

[madlyinangerwithu]

MTV band? MTV doesnt even play music...

[Chu]

Point. Proven. :lol:

[madlyinangerwithu]

Metallica was the best thing that was on their when they did play their videos. Metallica is the most powerful force in metal i dont care what anyone says.

[Chu]

Metallica is the most powerful force in metal i dont care what anyone says.
Maybe they were, but they're not anymore.

[madlyinangerwithu]

what needs to happen on the next album is let everyone do their own thing like their old music. St. Anger was awesome but if they left them each to do their own part i think it would have been better. but again Metallica has never had a bad album. oh and Chu in our previous conversation just because u give everything a chance does not mean that you are diverse in what you like...

[madlyinangerwithu]

Maybe they were, but they're not anymore.
NOW AND ALWAYS...name a better band

I didn't say what I liked :p
But just say, I mainly listen to thrash/speed, but I listen to pretty much everything else.

What do you mean by name a better band? What characteristics does the band need to be 'better'? And don't give me **** about "Metallica sold x^10 records" because that really doesn't make them 'better'.

[madlyinangerwithu]

u watch too much news...because of napster and the whole media thing they started giving people these ideas that Metallica cant play or they are changing...nobody can think for themselves anymore they have to listen to everyone else. im not saying that you have to like Metallica but i dont think u should take what others think like that their an MTV band...who cares...who cares if they have long hair...who cares if they wrote I disappear for MI:2...doesnt make them bad...They have always treated the fans good. and they have never released a bad cd...

[LarsAgi007]

NOW AND ALWAYS...name a better band

Just a helpful tip here mate, Click edit on your post... Saves posting twice in a row :D

Well Metallica are due to hit the studio later in the year for an early release on there follow up to St Anger album in 06, This is the only news I have heard about it so far, Also this backs up the rumour of Re-Anger...

''Best band'' Is all down to personal preference, not record sales, not publicity, simple personal liking...

I don't know why everyone holds Metallica responsible for Napster, It was 8 bands (One of which was Limp Bizkit :lol: ) That all closed the file sharing program down, Metallica were just the only band to admit, they said they won't hide the truth from there fans...

[Chu]

My opinions are completely formed from my own opinions.
I don't worry about them suing Napster, I have over 20gbs of .mp3s on my comuter that I have download, on the slight chance they do 'bust' me, they can't do much to me, so I say let them sue :D

[madlyinangerwithu]

ur wrong selling millions of records does make them good just does not mean anything to u. as far as everyone else their the best. dont get me wrong i love other bands. Slayer, slipkot, coal chamber, godsmack, hatebreed, System of a Down, and of couse all the old bands, led, acdc, and jimmy. but metallica plays their instruments better they can be more diverse then other bands. what makes me like them so much is their not up their hitting strings, banging drums, and yelling they have skill they can create good music and still keep it heavy. thats what makes them a good band.

To be honest, it wouldn't be Metallica who sued you, it would be the RIAA

Selling millions of records can work either way, in Metallica's situation I don't consider it a good thing, I think that because Metallica 'were' in (First metal band to hit mtv), they got alot of their record sales, these are not fans, they just buy the music because it's in the scene, that has nothing to do with Metallica 'selling-out', it has everything to do with teenagers and what they think is cool, hell when Metallica were teens it was cool to wear skin tight jeans :amaze:, I think an artist like 50 Cent, or Eminem proves to us that it's not _hard_ to be the new cool figure, just do something that's so rebel, and every kid looking for a community, or something to belong to, will be attracted to you.

I am in no way saying Metallica didn't work for what they got, hell yes they worked.

//This might need some re-thinking and additions...

Edit: Here

To be honest, it wouldn't be Metallica who sued you, it would be the RIAA
By let them sue, I was meaning let them sue Napster.
RIAA can't touch me, because I'm Australian and different rules apply, but the American media is pushing their rules to Australia! And with our SICK government, weee!! American clone 101.

[LarsAgi007]

Well My 1000'th post, I best had post it in here!!
Yes, They worked for it, But agree alot of record sales were just random people buying for the sake of it... My mum has The Black album, She got it the day it came out, she listenes to Ashlee Simpson!!! The only things she ever did that were Metal like were.. Buy the black album.. And go and see Guns N Roses, but My dad made her go lol

Well the figure Metallica payed for court lawer fees was approx, $750,000, But in all due respect, Metallica did say to a Napster Rep.. We don't want this song released yet, Can you please take it off?? They didn't, they asked once more, take it down or be forced to take it down by legal action.. Again they didn't, now the creator of napster is moneyless, poor, and is paying like $100 a week to Metallica lol

Exactly, so when I see people say "Oh but they sold x^10 records!" I think their argument is redundant.

I love old-Metallica to death! But I have to say their new all-commercial attitude pisses the **** out of me

N I hate the ape-d00d. (a.k.a Robert)

[munky_magik]

MTV band? MTV doesnt even play music...
According to my dictionary:
Music - An arrangement of sounds of one or more voices or instruments
I think that makes you wrong :)

[Deth]

N I hate the ape-d00d. (a.k.a Robert)
That's stupid. Rob is pure pwnage.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Rob is a quality bassist, I can't wait to see what he does with Metallica.

Here's a question, out of Trujillo and Burton, who is better?

[PepsiMetal]

I see no problems with the black album. Sure load/reload weren't as great, but black album is awesome. I tend to stay away from "ooh they're on MTV, yada yada" because I could care less if they are popular or not. I dont see why popularity should affect your music taste. Unforgiven, wherever I may roam, Nem, etc... Great songs.

[metalcritter666]

For some reason, I now love ReLoad. :confused:

[Kickflip_Burrito]

It has some good tracks on there, Fuel, The Memory Remains, The Unforigven II and some tracks that hardly anybody recognises like Prince Charming, Where The Wild Things Are, Attitude and Slither. All are quality.

[Iceman-rocker]

what needs to happen on the next album is let everyone do their own thing like their old music. St. Anger was awesome but if they left them each to do their own part i think it would have been better. but again Metallica has never had a bad album. oh and Chu in our previous conversation just because u give everything a chance does not mean that you are diverse in what you like...

haha you said "do their own parts" :naughty:

[Iceman-rocker]

Here's a question, out of Trujillo and Burton, who is better?

i dont think you can really compare them. burton was an extremely good musician - as in he knew pretty much everything there is to know about music theory, and how it works. I think i would have to say that rob is a better bassist, however cliff got cut short in the beginning of his career.

we miss you man.

[Joe]

Selling millions of records doesn't necessarily make you good at all...some of the biggest selling artists of the last 5 years have been some of the least original, middle of the road music imaginable, but they sell millions of albums for precisely that reason; there's no edge to them, meaning that they're palatable to the general public. Never underestimate how diverse the musical tastes of this forum is compared to just about everywhere else. Please note, I'm not saying Metallica aren't good (I actually quite like them), but just that selling millions of albums doesn't necessarily mean that you're good. About playing instruments better, I really disagree with what you said. Taking Lars Ulrich, the drummer for SOAD could blow him away now, even though when Ulrich was at his best he might not have been able to. Every member of Zeppelin, particuarly JPJ and Bonham was more talented at their instrument than every member of Metallica. I'm not saying there's anything shameful in that, as Zeppelin were a very talented band, but it's true...compared to a lot of metal bands, and a lot of music in general, Metallica aren't really that talented. They might make better music, which is completely subjective, but they're not as talented.

I agree with you, the number of cd's you sell doesn't really mean much. Honestly, Ashlee Simpson sucks and she's probably sold more cd's than some very talented metal bands. Led Zeppelin was a very talented band. I would agree with you with Bonham and JPJ > Ulrich and the 3 bassists, I don't know about guitar. Metallica is pretty talented, just not the most. And the reason that they are as famous as they are today is because their music is better (imo, of course)

Sup thread!!!
yea i agree with gocaps selling records doesnt mean your good ahlee simpson probablly sold like 100,000+ records the first 2 weeks her CD was out and she lip sank(sunk sanked?!?!) on SNL and the real bends that play instruments and sing and rock! dont get recognition because they're not "in" people have changed rap is in for now and we cant do nuthin about it. I got wwwwaaaayyyy off topic didnnt i well you know what i mean we all know any body can rap if they got the words but you cant just pick up a guitar and sing and play like james er kirk or any body with talent who can play.

No.
Hating Ashlee Simpson won't do anything, try hating her fans for buying her recrds or the record companies for producing her.
Alot of R&M acts don't get mass recognition becuase they don't appeal to a very wide range of people. As simple as.
Not anybody can rap. And In rap, as with most genres, there are amazing underground artists who get little recognition compared to the rubbish that pollutes the mainstream. Do not make such awful generalisations about entire genres.

That's pretty much what I said, without the mindless bashing.
Of course Rap takes talent, maybe it just doesn't appeal to you.

Hve they ever played leper messiah live, or orion, or the frayed ends of sanity, or to live is to die in their entireity?

[vashts80]

Leper Messiah was played a bunch of times live, I know that it was played at Rock in Rio this past year.

That would be cool to see, what about frayed ends of sanity, they started playing ti on live sh*t, but then they stopped and said that they got bored of it. It's my favorite song at the moment

[PepsiMetal]

John Dolmayan is a very good drummer. Waaaay better than lars. He's probably the best nu-metal drummer excluding Joey Jordison. Who knows, they're both good. But metallica is talented. Sure there are more technical band, but being a good musician also means you can make good tunes, and not just technical guitar riffs that sound crap. For example, dream theater are more technical than metallica, but they do not have as many good songs. Therefore imo, metallica are better musicians.

Don't slag a band you haven't listenned to.
Alot of people on these forums talk **** about Dream Theater, how Petrucci only wanks, just because they have listenned to one song where he does.
Don't base your opinion of a band on ONE or TWO songs of theirs you have heard, this is especially true for a progressive band, who have a different sound for the majority of their songs.

They also haven't been around for as long as Metallica, they haven't had the oppurtunity to write as much, but I can assure you, by the time Dream Theater have been around for the equivelant of Metallica, they will have as many, if not more good songs.

You really need to open your mind.

[PepsiMetal]

Name me 20 good songs from dream theater that are good. :thumb: I've listened to their whole cd at my friends house and it was pretty boring. Dream Theater are good, and sure they can play pretty much every metallica, maiden, etc. song, but the point is in making a great song. Not covering it. Imo all dream theater's work is all pure technicality. Nothing is exciting as much as maiden or metallica.

[Chu]

They have more then one album, and their sound isn't restricted to one album, you have to listen to them each individually to understand them.

Their album Images & Words is a musical masterpiece, everything about the album is amazing, I suggest you get this album, and listen to it.
Recommended songs: Pull Me Under, Another Day, Surrounded, Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleepe, Under A Glass Moon and Learning To Live.

Their album Scenes From a Memory is just amazing, why? Well, it tells a story, a concept album, that has some amazing music behind it.
Recommended songs: Overture 1928, Fatal Tragedy, Beyond This Life, Through Her Eyes and One Last Time.

Their album Train of Thought, might be right up your alley, this is where Dream Theater have broken into the Metal scene more, it is an approach on progressive metal, it is awesome.
Recommended songs: As I Am, Endless Sacrifice, Honour Thy Father, In The Name of God.

They are the only albums I have, but I have their song The Glass Prison, and it is up there with the best songs of metal, it has everything, amazing drums, bangable riffs (With some sweet solos), and beast bass.

Please, honestly listen to these albums, if not, at least the songs I recommended, these songs, in my opinion, are among the finest ever written, and truly showcase that Dream Theater isn't a band out to just show off.
I hope after listenning to these songs you will be able to form your own opinion on the band.

The only thing I can find that is bad about Dream Theater is their length, sometimes their music just goes for too long.

[madlyinangerwithu]

u know who cares which metal band is better, the point is that metal is the best music. music has gotten so bad these days that its not even funny. people who dont have to do really anything are selling millions of records. Munky_magik is right dont hate ashlee simpson or any pop band for that matter its not their fault that people are dumb enough to buy their album, i mean if u could make millions of dollars just lip syncing wouldnt u do it, at least most metal bands stay true to their fans and to music.

I said the exact same thing to you yesterday.

Edit:I'm not saying Dream Theater is better, I'm simply trying to educate him, he's saying Dream Theater is a **** band, I'm trying to show him that they are not.

[madlyinangerwithu]

then i guess i have been humbled. that means your right. but anyways, ive never heard dream theater, do they have a place where u can listen to their music? im always on the look for a good band.

Ummm.. Maybe Amazon music will have samples, I seriously hope you listen to Dream Theater, I believe you will enjoy them very much.

[madlyinangerwithu]

im sure i will, and i didnt mean to offend your taste in music i was simply saying that Metallica is a driving force in music. but i love almost all metal out their. Metallica just happens to be the band that i grew up with which makes me biased in my opinions as everyone says its all opinion

no there not wot a load of shhite :thumb:

[Chu]

It depends...

Images And Words is the album that most people seem to point to as being their best, even though I think they really evolve from it later on.

Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory is a concept album, which I personally consider to be the best thing they've done yet, and is apparently what the new album Octavarium sounds most like.

Train Of Thought is their most recent album, and is so far the heaviest thing that they've recorded. It's kind of divisive among DT fans, but personally I prefer it to a lot of their stuff.

A Change Of Seasons has one 23 minute song on, and a bunch of live covers which bring the album down. The title track though is one of the best things ever recorded, so you need to hear that.

To give this post a vaguely Metallica-related topic, they've covered the entire Master Of Puppets album at several concerts. Now that would be very interesting...
Thank you :)

[Deth]

metalica suk even busted and mcfly are better then them :thumb:
Having fun being an idiot? You are tearing down the REAL Lord Abortions name.

[pheel]

Right I'm letting loose about Metallica now.
This is the last time I'm saying this EVER:
Despite me having a Metallica email address I actually hate Metallica now. St. Anger really sucked monkey nuts and now because of it Metallica are kings of the 'metal' world. Jesus christ, if you're gonna sell out, you can at least make some half decent stuff. There is not one song in St. Anger that I like. Even the albums right before St. Anger such as Garage Inc, S&M, Reload all had a few decent songs in them. The only 2 albums I liked by Metallica are Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning. The reason for Metallica's sell out is unknown, but everything started going wrong when Cliff Died (RIP). Either way, I have lose even more respect for Metallica every time I see one of their videos or merchandise from St. Anger. Why oh why did one of the best bands ever have to go downhill?

Ahhhh, that felt better, this thread was a great idea. To be completely honest I was going to make a thread like this about a week ago, but because I only registered in October I thought everyone would spam me. Ive just downloaded sum new met demos and songs and they completly f***ing rock there heavy classy and hetfields got his gravel pit bk there a hundreds times beta than st anger and also apart from bein heavy as hell theyve got a gd rock rythm check em out ( follow me, the door, and a time for hate)

[Josh]

seeing as I have just started playing Bass, what would be a fairly easy Metallica song to learn?

[CemetaryGates9]

Amnesia (Pulling Teeth)

[Josh]

i was kinda thinking of learning that but wasn't sure. whats the unforgiven like?

[Darkness]

I don't think Pulling Teeth will be very easy if you just started, unless your like a guitar player who just started playing bass...

[cliff solos for all]

Amnesia (Pulling Teeth)

[Chu]

Amnesia (Pulling Teeth)
Oh sick, is this some unreleased track?

[Squirrel]

what

[Happy]

Amnesia (Pulling Teeth)

:lol: It's Anesthesia.

[Deth]

For Whom the Bell Tolls is the obvious easy choice, and I like My Friend Of Misery to noodle with on bass, though the verse is easy as anything.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'll post Welcome home-Dream theater, hold on.

[LarsAgi007]

seeing as I have just started playing Bass, what would be a fairly easy Metallica song to learn?

Ok, I am a drummer, But I play guitar quite often, and bass once in a while so I in the same boat:

My Suggestions are

Metallica - For Whom the bell tolls (its a very simple song, and pretty slow also)
Metallica - Enter Sandman (Really easy song)
Metallica - Unforgiven (Not really easy for a beginner, but a challenge at that)
Metallica - Nothing else matterz (Only kidding, its solid)!!!

[flamesofbodom]

Also The God That Failed is fun to play

[vashts80]

TGTF and FWTBT are pretty easy to play, as well as ...Master of Puppets :x

Puppets was easy for me anyway.

[LarsAgi007]

I can play puppetz on Guitar And drums... With me being a good drummer it was no problem to play. I think its easy on guitar, It just took me a couple of weeks to get my speed correct, I was a little too slow, All I do is downpick you see so I have to do it really fast.

[flamesofbodom]

Yeah and practice it so your arm doesnt get tired

[Kickflip_Burrito]

King Nothing is fun to play on bass. My fave riff is My Friend Of Misery, Jason owns :thumb:

puppets is kinda easy on guitar once you play it a couple times but i diont know about bass :sad:

NP: master of puppets!!!!!! :D

[heavy metal kid]

i can play every thing but that solo :upset: but im gettin closer and closer to it....

NP: master of puppets!!!!!! :D

the solo and the riff after the intro are the hard things on that song.
the song in bass is very simple except for the same riff after the intro.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I kind of have trouble at 2:48, and the third solo i can't play at all, but besides that i have it down pretty good

Yea, it's really hard to get perfect, but after awhile the whole song becomes really easy

/can play it

Thanks for that. I love metallica covers.

only when they're good. the tribute albums i don't really like, but the DT covers are great.

hey i stayed at that hotel! (where the Sanitarium was played by DT)

[fatbandit]

MoP in bass isn't too hard. The hard bits are the 'spider riff' (which we've been reliably informed isn't a spider riff at all, but that's the name it has anyway...), and the little scale run after the solo (not too bad, but the speed can be a little hard, especially if you play it faster than the album version). Either way, if you have good enough finger speed, it isn't a problem (obviously...)

For Whom the bell tollz is really easy...
Enter sandman is really easy
Unforgiven is really easy
Sad but true is really easy
Dyers eve is really easy (:lol: skip dyers eve accually ;)

SKOM does sound easy but is not, the bass drum is really offbeat, it would be impossible to do for a beginner... It could be modified of course to a basic rock beat, but it would sound odd.

Hey, here (http://s13.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0U5ENF8U2X9HV2K9Q854VIZXY8) is a link for Beatallica - Sgt Hetfields motorbreath pub band!
Its great you have gotta hear it.

[Deth]

I lke Dream Theaters Battery a lot more than their Master of Puppets. It's pretty rocking.

On another note, I read an interview with Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth guitarist) and he said he would open for Metallica in a heartbeat. My dream opening band may come true :D .

And to think you all laughed at me...

[Huber]

I love Iced Earth, that'd be cool. That Schaffer guy is a dick though.

[Whale and Wasp]

does anyone else find battery annoying?

i dont see why people love it so much

Have you got Dream Theater's Disposable Heroes? I think they do a sweet job with that.

[TheDMV]

I love Battery. If you're looking for an annoying Tallica song: Seek and Destroy. I've probably yet to hear such a repepetive song. Kill 'em All is my favorite album by them though.

[heavy metal kid]

I find more annoying lepper messiah and harvester of sorrow.
By the way i heard the dream theater live version of orion and it wasn't great at all, metallica's version is better.

[Huber]

Seek and Destroy...Leper Messiah!! These are classics! Oh well, I guess that's just what the majority thinks.

[lilmetallica]

Seek and Destroy...Leper Messiah!! These are classics! Oh well, I guess that's just what the majority thinks.
yea i love those songs they get stuck in your head so easily especially when your playin em on guitar... :p

[Squirrel]

Metallica should open for Iced EArth, tbh.

[metalcritter666]

I love Battery. If you're looking for an annoying Tallica song: Seek and Destroy. I've probably yet to hear such a repepetive song. Kill 'em All is my favorite album by them though.
No. If you want annoying, listen to Don't Tread On Me.

[Squirrel]

No. If you want annoying, listen to Don't Tread On Me.

It's subjective; you can't say "no" to opinions.

[Cahal]

I really like metallica and I just bought Master Of Puppets and The Thing That Should Not Be is amazing I LOVE THE GUITAR TO IT!

[Squirrel]

Exotic solo in that one.

I love it because it's nice, fast, and in your face. It's a great album opener.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I know, I just find DTOM a bit annoying after a while but that's me.
To me, its the weakest song on the Black Album.

[LarsAgi007]

To me, its the weakest song on the Black Album.

Personally I love ''Don't Tread on me'' I like the offbeat Hi-Hats! Makes me wanna headbang!

YEA!!! i think its one of the most under-rated songs on black...

[Thor]

YEA!!! i think its one of the most under-rated songs on black...
I will agree with you on that one. I also think that The Unforgiven is waaaay overrated. Most people probably won't agree with me, but whatever, it's your opinion.

[lilmetallica]

whats EMO mean or gg?

[Chu]

Emo as in Emotional?
And gg as in Good Game...

Who else thinks that Ride the Lightning was Metallica's best album? I sure do.

I like Kill Em All and Master of Puppets most

[FlyingPaul_83]

RTL>MOP>KEA and AJFA(tie)

[mr black]

I think kea, rtl, mop, ajfa. are all just about equal. If one were to rise to the top however... simply from what it has done for me i'd say MoP... But god thats a tight call !

[Deth]

AJFA > Everything

[Sandtrap]

AJFA > Everything

I dont know bou that....

[LarsAgi007]

Who else thinks that Ride the Lightning was Metallica's best album? I sure do.


Hell ****ing yea! I agree

[Mars Ulrich]

Hell ****ing yea! I agree
MOP and RTL r beta than AJFA

[Happy]

It's all down to personal preference I guess. My favourite is RTL though.

[RustedPieces]

It seems like this is all we ever talk about.

[Happy]

Will be until the new album comes out.

[heavy metal kid]

Who else thinks that Ride the Lightning was Metallica's best album? I sure do.


i think it was the best, cause it shows works from hetfield,ulrich,hammett, burton and mustaine, besides it was produced by Metallica and the songs have an awesome estructure, diferent than the others albums.

[DaveTheAmazing]

In S&M, during Nothing Else Matters, did James play an acoustic or electric?

[KillemAllforOne83]

accoustic
he even played the solo on it

[LarsAgi007]

accoustic
he even played the solo on it

Yes, it was an electro-acoustic, I must add Jaymez did an awesome job at the solo on Nothing else matters.

And to RustedPieces:

There is not really much to talk about untill the new release early next year. I cannot wait for the release, I have managed to get a few demos, and 'yes' Once again it is a total change in music. Its going to be alot more heavy this time, and the drums and guitar sound like the band spent alot on them, Not like they got them from a cheap charity shop hehe, To be quite honest I like the piccolo snare used in S.t Anger, I often use a replica for gigs.

[vashts80]

Can somebody explain how you get demos if they're still apparently on vacation?

[Huber]

Who else thinks that Ride the Lightning was Metallica's best album? I sure do.

Right here

[fatbandit]

Dude, if Metallica leaked demos, wouldn't there be a bigger buzz about it than just you knowing? And why not YSI them for us? :)

[LarsAgi007]

Can somebody explain how you get demos if they're still apparently on vacation?

Pretty simple, Metallica have, and always will use spare material left over from the previous album... They must have loads of riffs on paper! And yes they having a break from recording, don't mean to say they are not jamming, ect:

Dude, if Metallica leaked demos, wouldn't there be a bigger buzz about it than just you knowing? And why not YSI them for us?

Metallica posted the demos on there website (www.metallica.com) They always update it, If you go to their home page linked above, and click the Metallivault link you can preview them yourself, I cannot yousendit them because I am currently having sound problems with my computer, I managed to uninstall my sound card thinking it was a digi-Cam :confused: I am hoping to correct my sound in the next couple of days, when I can do so I will be more than happy to post them on here for you.

[fatbandit]

Do you need a soundcard to YSI? Surely you can just upload? Ah well.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yes, it was an electro-acoustic, I must add Jaymez did an awesome job at the solo on Nothing else matters.

And to RustedPieces:

is it downtuned?

[Endless Obsession]

is it downtuned?

Probobly somewhat because James cant sing as high anymore so they have to play lower.

[Thor]

In S&M, during Nothing Else Matters, did James play an acoustic or electric?
I'm pretty sure it was an acoustic guitar.

Can anyone send me S&M? I really want to get that album, but just spent all of my money last night.

AIM - BassRocker617

[Kickflip_Burrito]

What do you think is the best song on S&M? For me its either No Leaf Clover, Battery or One.

[madlyinangerwithu]

battery has the best intro but MOP is probably the best done song on their

[RustedPieces]

I like Hero of the Day or One.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Oh, Fuel is pretty good on S&M too, Kirk's guitar slide sounding like a racecar and Lars' drumming make the song so cool.

[RustedPieces]

The solo for The House That Jack Built is probably the weirdest solo I have ever heard Kirk do.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I love that solo, its so much different yet sounds so cool.

[lilmetallica]

Oh, Fuel is pretty good on S&M too, Kirk's guitar slide sounding like a racecar and Lars' drumming make the song so cool.

i wunna learn how to make that sound real bad its not a pick scrape and i doubt its a regular slide maybe a weird setting on his amp any ideas...?

[Kickflip_Burrito]

My friend can play it, all it involves is a slider. Strum the right chord and slide down. I don't know the tab for it tho, I play bass not geetar.

[lilmetallica]

ok cool!!!!!!!!!
get the tab from your friend and put it on MX or here er some where :thumb:

[Thor]

I listened to The Call of Ktulu on S&M and that sounded really sweet to me.

[m3tallica]

no leaf clover is my fave on s&m love it!! n outlaw torn but that was my fave on load anyways.

[m3tallica]

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I would want to be Kirk. He's so cool and shreds like a badass. Kirk is awesome on guitar, I'd want his skills and techniques.

According to The Wildhearts' frontman, it's Blues Rock with keyboards.

I was referring to what was going to happen to music in 10 years, like you asked...

[madlyinangerwithu]

ahh i c

[Chu]

if you could be one metallica member who would it be?
Dave Mustaine :thumb: or Cliff Burton.

[Endless Obsession]

Dave Mustaine

Ahh yes, dont we all want to be whiny alcoholics.

/runs away before big megadeth/metallica fued starts

[madlyinangerwithu]

Mustaine is a great guitarist dont talk like that about him. he was good in metallica and he will always be apart of metallica. they all drank anyway...nobody wants to be lars?

[madlyinangerwithu]

to bad mustaine cant sing too good...no offense to any megadeath fan...cant they all just get along?

[madlyinangerwithu]

who is/was the best bassist for metallica

[madlyinangerwithu]

i know this might have been discussed but im curious

[FlyingPaul_83]

Whoa!

Triple post.

I wouldn't want to be lars, i would want to be james because he is the greatest

IDK why they can't get along, they should tour together, that would be great.

And about your third question, this has been discussed a lot, and I think most people think that it is cliff burton.

[Lateralias]

Dang... Learn to edit your posts... please...

to bad mustaine cant sing too good...no offense to any megadeath fan...cant they all just get along?

I hated Dave's vocals the first time I heard Peace Sells, but it didn't take long for the vocals to grow on me, singing AND playing the parts Dave does is also difficult, the man works hard during songs. I'll admit though, that the vocals on the live DVD are pretty iffy... he just can't hit those high notes with his voice as well.. I've never seen Megadeth live in person though so he might have just sounded different on Rude Awakening.

[madlyinangerwithu]

i agree with u on the james statement but i think most people think its cliff because hes dead, they dont want to disrespect him and because hes an original member, i love cliff he was unorthodox in his playing but i think rob has a better stage presence...but Jason was a better technical player although he sold his family (Metallica) out by leaving...

sorry...i will edit more :(

Yeah, he's weird, sometimes he can't sing live, the next day he can sing better..

Mustaine's voice is like an acquired taste, it just grows on you I reckon.
I've introduced all my friends to Megadeth, at first they couldn't stand Mustaine's voice, now they don't care.

But yeah, I don't understand why people call Mustaine whiny, see, he doesn't actually whine, unless someone brings it up, if he just started random outlashes, then I'd understand...

Plus, he's bloody good on guitar, in my opinion. And the man has been through a life time of **** already.

There's no contest between them, in my opinion.
Mustaine without a doubt.

[vashts80]

Jason, from what he showed in Metallica, was the least talented of the three. However, his work in Flotsam and Jetsam (Metalshock, particularlly) is 30x better than what he was allowed to write in Metallica (Load/ReLoad were the only two albums he was allowed to really write anything iirc)

Rob is easily the best of the three. He can do it all...slap, pop, finger, hell, he even breaks out the pick once in awhile.

Unfortunately, Cliff's life was taken too early in his career to know what he could do other than what he had already done.

[madlyinangerwithu]

i like them both i think they both bring something good to the industry im glad that mustaine got kicked out of metallica because he started another good band. and kirk made a great addition to metallica. i do like kirk more, but mustaine is second on the list. but again thats just my opinion


edit: vashts80 i agree with u about rob but i think jason brought more then you think...at least live and on the dvds, solos and what not

I'm glad Mustaine's not in Metallica anymore, I don't think Kirk is very good at all, I mean he's good for Metallica, but he's not as good as everyone says, at least I don't believe so.

Edit: I think Cliff was the best bassist bassist from Metallica, maybe he didn't have technicality over the other guys, but his style was better for Metallica, and he defintely knew how a bass should be worked.

[madlyinangerwithu]

so chu do u think original metallica was the best?


edit: do u like megadeath more than metallica?

[vashts80]

Well, basically the thing is this. Somebody said this about 150 pages ago (rofl), but Jason was basically trying to uphold Cliff's legacy, not surpass it. He accomplished that. He upheld the legacy for the ~15 years he was in Metallica, and he did not surpass it. He headbanged like a mother****er and he sang like a mother****er.

[James Van Halen]

I think Metallica would've been better if Mustaine would've been like he is now and James would do what he's always done, rythym and singing. If Dave could be the lead guitar and the lead guitar only with maybe backup vocals, then I think Metallica would've been better. And think about it, they would have all of James stuff AND all of Dave's stuff.

I think original Metallica was/is the best band, ever.
I think Metallica, until 1986, were the best band, after that, meh, lost interest, and Megadeth released SFSGSW, which is their best release, in my opinion.

So, I like Megadeth now more, but early Metallica ****s on everything.

[vashts80]

Had Dave been in Metallica, there would be no Peace Sells or Rust in Peace. No Tornado of Souls, no Peace Sells, no In My Darkest Hour. Consequently, there may not have been Master of Puppets or And Justice For All or Battery.

These Mustaine conversations never end well, how about stopping it now?

i agree with that but i never really heard cliff besides kill em all. so i liked jason better until he left the band. but i liked how cliff played low on his bass he had tons of skills but never really got to show it all...

i saw this kid today wearing an echobrain t-shirt.it disgusted me,i wanted to kill him

Chill :D
Jason's in a better world now.

[Huber]

What's wrong with Echobrain? If I cried about it everytime I saw a band shirt that I simply just disliked, California would be under water already.

[TheCrimsonKing]

just out of curiosity does anyone know if a metallica album is coming out within the next two years?

[PepsiMetal]

Yea, I mean there are about 3.5 billion people wearing britney spears, backstreet boys, etc. tee shirts. That has to be worse than echobrain.

[Huber]

Within two years? Most likely. In fact, I'm almost positive.

[willis2441]

Mustaine without a doubt.
kirk covered mustaines solos with ease

[Chu]

And Mustaine could do Hammett's solos with ease...

Edit: It's not about the technicality of the solo, in my opinion, I just think Mustaine writes better music. The few solos Hammett made that were any good were during Burton's time, which as I said, was when Metallica were good, after that, well, Hammett's solos were the first to go, then Lars' drumming, and then James' voice...

Also, bear in mind that this is completely my opinion, if you disagree, that's fine by me.

[Joe]

They are both incredible guitarists. Kirk fits what we know as Metallica and he seems to have a lot more chemistry. I can honestly say that I like everything on MOP > everything I like on KEA.

Now to Megadeth, I think they are better now, but I still like Metallica's music better.

Now for Kirk and Dave...

Speed- Dave > Kirk
Skill - Kirk > Dave
Soul - Kirk > Dave
Riff Writing - Dave > Kirk
Luckier, richer, and more famous - Kirk > Dave
My favorite - Kirk > Dave

that's all in my opinion
