[QUOTE=Aw3someman]do bad Metallica were dicks to Newsted. Otherwise he wouldn't have quit.[/QUOTE]

yeah, he was an awesome guy. i wouldn't say the metallica guys were all dicks to him, and that's probably only 70% of the reason he left. kirk can't have been a dick to him, it doesn't seem possible lol

They were pretty hard on the poor fellow

Apparently Newsted didn't like how hetfield didn't let him pursue side projects

Well yes but I can see where Hetfield was coming from

Yeah. Might be the reason Metallica did so well. They concentrated only on their music nobody else's .

James did one side project and I don't think it turned out well

yeah, i am soo glad that they haven't been sidetracked anytime over the years

[QUOTE=lightningmetal666]I wonder if Rob could handle all that awesome bass stuff. :smash:


Nah, he's alright. I managed to learn the first two guitar solos to that song.:thumb:

I like the second slower one the best. Very emotional.[/QUOTE]

Orion is my favorite Metallica instrumental. I had learned some parts a while back. Dont remember them so I decided on learning the song again but acuratly and all the parts this time.

Best metallica instrumental ever IMO is Call of the Ktulu. It pwns sooo bad.

yeah, i agree. its a hard choice between orion and ktulu though, and orion takes a close second. although pulling teeth is good, its nowhere near the quality of the first two. and i must say bass and guitar doodle is better than all of em by far, but i keep rambling on about that in this thread so i'll save you guys from listening lol

[QUOTE=lightningmetal666]I've always like James' solos better. Amazingly enough I've found slower solos to be more difficult to emulate because they have a lot of heart and feeling in them and usually those are the solos that James plays. Don't get me wrong, Kirk can shred but anyone with decent chops can reproduce his solos. With james it's a little more different.[/QUOTE]


To live is to die solo in the acoustic bit :thumb: , when you hear that... could make a grown man cry. James know's how to write music with heart.

I completely agree


It's cool how cliff is in it too

Ah, just played a metal gig :)

Our Creeping Death cover went well :)

We got the '1, 2, 3, 4!' count in with the crowd, Metallica style, and dropped it down to just bass and drums in the breakdown until everyone was shouting DIE :D

:smash:

Exactly. It may not be the most technically difficult but it's difficult to emulate because there are a lot of emotions that are put into writing the stuff that he writes and that is what is hard to emulate. Pretty much anyone can learn the intro to Nothing Else Matters, but can they play it the way James does? He put his soul into that song and that's why it was a very successful song. Maybe isn't the grinding thrash that we headbangers have come to love, but it's showing that there is a soulful side to James and thats awesome.

Kirk does have his moments too. IE solos to FTB and Sanitarium.

yeah kirk can slow it down and give it alot of feeling too. i prefer him over james overall.

yeah the to live is to die acoustic solo is great. also the unforgiven solo is possibly the awesomest ever, i like how its all soft and theres a small acoustic lick and then it goes into the distorted solo. good times

[QUOTE=_ScottThrasher_ImBack]i have to admit i like kirk the best, but my favourite Metallica song is [B]SEEK[/B] [B]AND DESTROY[/B], i love to [U]sing[/U] it as i do quite alot!!!!![/QUOTE]

AH HA

It's very precious when a person pours his whole soul into his/her music
we end up with some very special pieces of that person locked (presumably)
forever into that recording

Awesome. The crowds round here would never do that, they suck.
But still next time we play we're covering McFly, Europe and Bon Jovi :cool:
I got scared then.
Apparently we're only allowed 4 smileys per post. I thought MX was broked.
