I think on average james's solos are better than kirks, well then again james doesnt play that many solos.

James is the best rhythm guitarists, and kirk is very good, Kirk has more speed, but i think james' rythm is awesome and so are the few solos he plays.

STaying kind of on the same subject, what order are there three bassists in ability level. I would have to say:
1. Cliff Lee Burton
2. Robert Trujillo
3. Jason Newsted

Trujillo is good no doubt about it. But i prefer jason and cliff more

I agree that jason is more known as a metallica bassist but i think that robert has a better ability at the instrument. After cliff though the use of the bass declined. When they had cliff they could write songs like call of ktulu, pulling teeth etc. cliff is definitly the best IMO

Songs like My friend of Misery and the god that failed have good bass riffs and they were written by jason.

Wow... im pretty stoaked on this thread. Metallica is by far my favorite band and daily i'll get **** for it since im a chick... but let me tell you... they rock. And i've taken up the guitar and i've been learning tons of thier songs. My favorite ones to play woudl have to be master of puppets and am i evil? those songs rock. Among many others.

no i'm not i girl and i don't like wearing thongs ;)

[QUOTE=Photophobic]I heard a good theory as to why there are no guitar solos on St.Anger:
"Kirk couldn't be bothered to work out all his scales for drop C"[/QUOTE]
and even if that is true. why hasn't james worked out the scales?

[QUOTE=SlaveToTheGrind]no i'm not i girl and i don't like wearing thongs ;)[/QUOTE]

Ha, I was just joking, man. :thumb:

For Drop C, the way to play the scales would be the exact same but two frets higher (excapt on 6th string...)... If you know in Standard Tuning, you know in Dropped C... In Load and Reload they play with Eb and they played solos anyway...

Fuk me if im wrong but i think He was joking when he said that kirk didnt want to leanrn the scales in C

We will probably never know.

Anyone know how metallica write their songs? Do they write riffs, then lyrics around it? or lyrics, then riffs?

James says its they jam to find some riffs - work over them. He then works out vocal harmonies and tunes around a theme. He sings *na nanaan na* over demos then fits in lyrics over the syllables. Solos and effects are last.

I got all that from the Black album DVD.

^^^ that's why lars is credited in so much metallica songs
