hell no...it's 1000 times better being there...I've seen them everytime they been on the west coast area around Washington and a few time in California since 1990 and I'm still going back to see them...I went to the concert were the Stone were the main act and I think I was the only 'tallica fan there...'tallica seem bored with the crowd...unlike the shows where they do the head lining...that is just insane

Ohh, that's like saying "does watching someone drink beer compare to driking it?"

[QUOTE=mr black]Simply put no other guitarist can down pick as fast as James, i just don't understand how he down picks Master of puppets at that speed :confused:[/QUOTE]
just play with Upstrokes.
Thats how I learn it.

I learn it with upstorkes. The intro is much easier alt picked.

Yeh, I got my upstrokes and downstrokes pretty much the same. It took ages.

upstrokes? Metallica plays downstrokes

I've been to a few Metallica concerts and they are the best live preformance I've ever seen

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]No problem i don't want to blind you saying that they are the best band or saying that they completely suck.[/QUOTE]

Metallica arent the greatest band of all time,and they do have a ****ty drummer,but theyre music just kick ***!especially theyre lyrics,james is a rare song-writer.Theyre probably one of the biggest bands still going today.:chug: cheers to metallica

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]upstrokes? Metallica plays downstrokes[/QUOTE]
Haha. Not all the time. It's humanly impossbile to play some Metallica songs without alt. picking.

well 'Tallica doesn't down pick 24/7...there is prove of that on the St. Anger DVD that came with the cd

yea, battery is imposible to down pick. I used to only down pick, but after Master of Puppets, my arm was to fukin tired to keep playing. Sorry to change subject, but i recently downloaded (from metallicalive.com) a bass solo, by jason, based on orion its in the vault, from the 1994 show. id love to play it, but i cant find a tab any where and i dont no any one who can tab by ear. any one who knows how to play it, or where i can find a tab for it, id really appreciate.

whoa the thought of up stroking MOP is daunting to me haha, Yeah nah my point wasn't 'how do you downpick it' i just find it amazing that even after 30+ years behind a guitar he still downpicks speedy songs, and yeah Battery, Blackened, Hit the lights etc, are impossible to downpick...

If you think that galloping verse riff in Battery is downpicked then you need your ears checked...

Err, yeah... Battery downpicked?! Where'd some of you get that idea?

What does galloping mean in this case? Is it the chuggy chuggy part or what?

it's the palm muted open strings that sound like horses galloping.

They palm mute a hell of a lot don't they?

Yes.

By galloping I mean the triplets on the palm muted e string in the verse riff.

God this site is running slowwwwww, the galloping part for any n00b's out there is the riff situated at 1.07 in the studio version of 'Battery'.

Are gallops triplets? I always thought they were 2 16ths followed by an 8th over and over.

[QUOTE=iluvkirkhammett]They palm mute a hell of a lot don't they?[/QUOTE]

Oh hell yeah especially On Load & Reload.

Galloping is dominated heavily by Iron Maiden.

[QUOTE=Doctor Night]Galloping is dominated heavily by Iron Maiden.[/QUOTE]
Is there any maiden songs without galloping? :smash:

[QUOTE=Doctor Night]Galloping is dominated heavily by Iron Maiden.[/QUOTE]

What isn't dominated by Maiden? :p

[QUOTE=Happy]Are gallops triplets? I always thought they were 2 16ths followed by an 8th over and over.[/QUOTE]

You're correct. I know someone who calls them triplets because they're grouped in 3's but refuses to accept he's wrong. Triplets are of course 3 notes played evenly.
I sometime's call them triples or just gallop.

I neva really cared to think about it:confused: . im a bass player so i dont play the same as the guitar. :thumb: whoa, im watching the san diego live **** concert. kirks solo is fukin mad. but i wanna know wat deep purple song they play in this solo. again i cant find the tabs for it any where, cause i dont know wat song it is. any one know?

It's called Mistreated

thx. and im trying to find a tab for the orion solo jason plays in middletown ny, in 1994. its at the vault, but i cant find a tab, any one know where i can it?

That's hard to find, i think it doesn't exist a tab for that.

damn, cause its really friggin good. i might just have to improvise...

[QUOTE=Magero666]damn, cause its really friggin good. i might just have to improvise...[/QUOTE]


That's your best bet...I think that's all he did anyway
