FWTBT isn't hard at all. The rhythm is incredibly easy, and is the leads. Don't know about drums or bass but guitar sure is easy.
I play guitar, and learnt the bass intro etc. on guitar originally...
But later I tried bass :p It's still a pretty easy song on bass..

It's possibily the easiest Metallica song to play, and that's saying quite a bit, I think, I mean.. I found it easier then Enter Sandman... :p

im a bassist and im trying to do the running riff (the one hammett plays live and runs around, hence the name) but its a bitch. too many bad habits learnt early with bass, like neglecting to use my pinky. ****.

ah well. ill just keep doin the 'ba-na ba-na Naaaaaaa' bit rofl

What is the running riff? :x

I can play all of Bells pretty accurately on bass, unfortunately I have no way to record it :\

And yes, Bells (on bass at least) is very easy...getting the timing down is the hardest part of the song, considering the notes are either in the high range (very beginning) or open notes and 3s and a few slides here and there.

Yeh, but to me the idea of the Livestrong bands is to help starving kids, and give money to charity. That kind of thing. The use of them as fashion accessories really gets on my chagrin, as people make any kind of band, just because they know it'll sell well, and the majority of the ones kids wear are fakes and copies, which defies the point of the charity message, and makes those kids absolute greedy, selfish bastards.

...you're joking right? It's for cancer.

Actually I like the idea. It's great now because there are several bands for all sorts of causes. My sister made some Metallica ones, and I didn't really care because she had the other ones too.

If you're going to make a Metallica band or some other band band you should buy one of the other ones too, just to support the cause they were originally invented for.

Is it just me, or is the opening riff to Blackened really annoying?

Yes, it's just you.

So I decided to finally rent Some Kind Of Monster last night. It exceeded my expectations. You really get an understanding of how the band felt after Jason left them, while recording St. Anger, and when James left for rehab. Well I guess I knew that was what the movie was going to be about, but I didn't think it would be as interesting as it was.

My two favorite scenes were when Ulrich met to talk with Mustaine apparently for the first time in a long time, and Ulrich was pretty emotional about it. And when the band had the bass tryouts, and Kyuss' old bassist, Jane Addiction's and more showed up. Trujilo definitley did stand out though, and they offered him $1 000 000 just to join them! Imagine!

Anyway, I'm sure you guys have talked about this movie quite a bit but this is the first I've seen it. Very interesting.

Yeah, and how much Twiggy sucks at bass.

Anyway. I wasn't talking about the Livestrong bands specifically about starving children. Hence the 'that kind of thing', but its all for charity. And that's the point that people sorely miss :upset:

And I already have a Seek and Destroy bass part recorded, if you want it. I posted it a few pages back, but I think the YSI will have expired by now.

The "Kirk Hammett running riff" in Bells, is that the riff that starts at 1:17 in the studio version (right after the chug-chug-chug riff at the beginning)?

Chu
06-27-2005, 05:20 PM
Yeah, I think that's the running riff.
I have a few live videos of For Whom The Bell Tolls, and whenever he does that, he does some gay strut, that's made even gayer by the fact he wears tight leather pants :x

P.S. That chug-chug-chug-chug riff is awesome to play I reckon :D

i have a question?

What do you think Metallica's new album will be like, if they come out with one, will they come out with another one??

The question isn't if it's when. they seem to space the albums about 4 years apart so if you are still alive in 2007, well you may hear something from them.
the web site hasn't been updated since december of 04

Try some from the Load/Re-Load era:
Bleeding Me (Load)
Fixxer (re-load)
Unforgiven2 (Re-Load)
The House That Jack Built (Load)

Thease are all good guitar songs.

I thought St. Anger was 8 years too late. They should have released St. Anger in 96, instead of the "Load" abomination.


What the hell is so wrong with "Load and Re-Load"?
Yeah they went a little on the Prog side, but whats wrong with venturing out into unknown realms where no man has ever gone.......

Uh, sorry got a little carried away. Whats so wrong with experimenting with your music? You can't make the same album over and over and be successful (Unless you are godsmack) remember, open mindedness is one of the keys to success in music!

People on these forums expected metallica to stay in the KEA and RTL days forever.

I like Load and Reload now that I've given it a chance. For those that haven't given load/reload a chance, you should definetely listen to low man's lyric, slither, bad seed, memory remains, ain't my bitch, king nothing, etc..

I dont know if dave did copy metallica's parts at all, but I dont like megadeth much due to his vocals. They just dont fit the music imo. James' voice is way better for me.

Yea, but I dont think they hate the actual song, they just are going with the popular trend of metallica selling out, going mainstream, etc.. If load/reload/st. anger were released in 85, most metallica fans would adore it.

Personally, I think it takes a lot of balls to do some of the things Metallica have done. It takes tremendous skill to do the things they have done and make them a success.
I mean, who else in the Heavy Metal genre could get away with playing with the symphony? I couldn't see Maiden, Well I could, But, They wouldn't.
Come on They have a down right country song on Load and it still sold. at this point Metallica could release a polka record and go platinum. I would buy it just to hear James sing polka songs.

Try Some of the Green stuff man! all the best rock songs were written under the influence. look and Pink Floyd and zep and all the 60's and 70's stuff. you really think "the wall" was written by someone sober? no.

90% of Megadeth's Songs are coppied in one form or another from Metallica songs! Dave needs to face it He got kicked out and thats it!
As are you. Seriously, get some ****en evidence to support your claim.

Try Some of the Green stuff man! all the best rock songs were written under the influence. look and Pink Floyd and zep and all the 60's and 70's stuff. you really think "the wall" was written by someone sober? no.
(Immortalsoul in no way endorses the use of illegal substances. take this advice at your own risk)

He's fairly talented, it's just I don't like how he's held this grudge against Metallica for so long.

I can think of... Mechanix. that's it. any more proof?

Woah woah woah... where is there chorus in NEM?

If you're not familiar with that pedal, it's extremely low. It just gives it a bit of a tone boost and it sounds similar to the album recording. I use it just on the intro. Take it off for the chorus and obviously for the solo

Thanx dude i mean do anyone know how to play that song and make it sound jus like it played by the jh himself. Also do u use distortion or not?

No prob. I just use it on the solo. I don't think it's used anywhere else...

But that's not a copy of a Metallica song, since he wrote that.. The Four Horsemen is more of a copy to Mustaine's song.. (Therefore, this guys' statement that Mustaine is unoriginal would be seen as hypocritical, however remembering Mustaine was a part of Metallica when the songs were written, just come to the conclusion, no one stole anyone's music).

Also, Looking Down The Cross is the closest to Ride The Lightning he's released, I think. I'm pretty sure there's the same breakdown in it, but I don't know.
I'm really surprised he never used that Ride The Lightning riff...

In my opinion, it is their best original release since Master of Puppets. It is a good album.

I bet you couldn't make anything close to saint anger. I dont see nothing wrong with saint anger except drum sounds and no solos. But then again, metallica isn't famous for having an insane and awesome drummer. Metallica was good for guitaring, and guitaring in saint anger was great. Especially the riffs. Man, james will be able to write awesome riffs when he's like 80 years old.

Just bring back normal drums, solos, and Im fine with the next album.

I say since the Black Album, only because it's heaviest. But I love the solos on Reload.

St. Anger-Shoot me Again

i think those are the worst imo, most of them i really skip, and yes i like more Ronnie than Cure.

As for a their worst cover, probably would be the stairway to heaven(live only), but in a record it would probably be it's electric.
I agree with the Stairway to Heaven thing...

His vocals are so ****ing horrible...

I just noticed a few things with both Kirk and Cliff..

#1- Soft intro, hardcore metal song
#2- album titled song
#3- a real headbanger song
#4- soft intro, but no doubt the best song on each cd
5, 6, 7, 8- heavy metal, one instrumental
Dunno, never thought The Thing That Should Not Be was really a headbanging song.

Good luck headbanging to NEM. :lol:
He meant to third song on the album were headbanging songs, I didn't know NEM was #3.. But then again, I don't really listen to Black album.

Same here. I do, however, think I know why people say St. Anger sucks. It's simply because it's so different.

But then again, if bands were to play the same style of music over and over again, wouldn't everybody (the band included) get bored out of their minds? So (****ing) what if 'tallica want to try something new?

Exactly. I'm glad they tried something new that wasn't like Reload. Reload wasn't so heavy metal, but St. Anger was extremely heavy (I just miss solos...)

um isn'y track #3 "Holier Then Thou"????

Yes, and by saying "#3- all metallica songs are headbangers" he didn't mean the 3rd on each cd, he just meant all of them (except NEM (well the whole song, but there are parts))

Megadeth are an awesome band I just noticed alot of Metallica riffs, I even sung Creeping death for one song, even all the time changes were the same!

I know about the Mechanix, personally I prefer metallicas version, you can understand the lyrics. All metallica did was change the lyrics and release it.

Yes it's nice when people have heard of their songs, but there's not a person on the planet that hasn't heard of Metallica.

I've gotten my girlfriend into Metallica (yes!!!). It's fairly easy to impress a girl by playing Fade to Black or Struggle Within... and she's actually recognizing and banging her head to the songs now (I win.).

I don't think Megadeth would use Metallica's riffs...

The other way, yes.

Actually, either could get sued for "us[ing]" each other's riffs. Neither, IMO, use each other's riffs. The fact that Dave and James were in the same band for a few years means that they probably influenced each other a bit.

(Yea, some Megadeth songs are similar to some Metallica songs, and vise versa)

Dream Theater aren't the "greatest band ever" (but still a good one). There is no "greatest band ever" as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. There is no possibility of a "Greatest Band Ever" because people's tastes vary so much.

I was kidding, by the way :lol: but DT are one of my fav bands.

To me, they are on a par with Metallica, but obviously for very different reasons.

So...nobody has heard of this DVD i speak of?? "METALLICA: a year and half in the life of" And by the way, MetallicA is definitely better than Dream Theater. I mean c'mon they influenced Dream Theater! METALLICA are imo, the greatest heavy metal band ever. The fact is the redifined the genre and took it to a whole nother level w/ heavier, faster riffs, vocal grit and versatility...and more stability than most bands can compare to....and to all you Megadeth fans out there(not say i'm not a fan) name one tune by Mustaine that rocks as hard and fast as Battery!..yeah exactly.

I'd have to agree with Digital Love on that one :rolleyes:

Metallica is NOT definitely better than Dream Theater. In fact, let's just turn that around a bit, and the truth will be told: Metallica is DEFINITELY NOT better than Dram Theater. I'd like to see Lars keep up with Portnoy's playing. Kirk and Robert are fast; James is great at what he does (solid rhythm playing), but that's about it. Metallica is a great band, but technically, they can't touch Dream Theater. The DT level of ability (playing AND songwriting-wise) is just way above 'Tallica.
