Creeping Death is a fucking bitch to play on guitar with all down picks like James plays it. As someone whose learned all of James' parts on KeA and pretty much all of this album... I can safely say it's the most difficult song on either of the first two albums (yes even including FFwF)

never thought this was a finished product, although everything slays, and is a top 5 thrash album

Yup, down picking Creeping Death is a real bitch. As is MoP for that matter. Takes skill as well to cover it up appropriately with alternate picking, though.

Either way, I don't think Kirk ever recorded rhythm parts tbh.

"Does Kirk play it the same way?"



Surprisingly, he does actually. I'd bet that that was a pre-requisite for joining the band.

I wouldn’t mind hearing that. Curious to see if it’s mostly Black album covers. I’d give her props if she pulled out KEA and ADFA covers. Also who’d be playing the music, her solo band? Idk

Metallica should then release an album with Miley Cyrus covers to return the favor.

A cheap move to target new audiences. It's situations like these that show when you don't have the talent to make it on your own and you're trying to rely on the passion and devotion that rock/metal fans have for the bands.



Marketing is everything...

"Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden though. All better than 'tallica imo"



It's a well established fact that british metal beats american metal by a mile

British and american metal are two totally different things. Could never compare Metallica to Maiden or Megadeth to Priest. Just odd

I mean NWOBHM and thrash are two different subgenres so yeah that’s a bit of an odd comparison, but I feel fine comparing like, Queensryche to Iron Maiden
