[QUOTE=Photophobic]Now I'm torn between getting Black Album or Ride the Lightning first.[/QUOTE]

Definately Ride The Lighting or Master Of Puppets. AJFA is technically my favourite, but I recently started noticing just how bad the production is... get it third.

[QUOTE=ToolOwnz]Creeping death is cool, One is prolly the best though, that was tight. Even black album stuff that I didnt like all that much souded a lot better live like wherever i may roam. They are 2nd behind Tool as far as my favorite Live show. Tool puts on an amazing experience, but Metallica perform very well live. Lots of energy.They played a lot of **** when I saw them during the black album tour. they played like 3 hours, they came out for 2 encores.The massive stage setup where they were all changing places was cool. And Lars was still using the old white massive drumset, and jason was the only one with the short hair :thumb:[/QUOTE]

I have the Salival CD, wich is pretty good. But I have never really seen Tool play. Isn't there a Tool DVD on the way?`Well anyway, what makes Tool's live show better than Metallica's? I think Metallica is one of the best bands when it comes to interacting with the crowd, and making them part of the song.

On the Metallivault i need a CD key from the St. Anger CD - where is the key ?!

There is a DVD supposedly coming out in month MAYBE, they havent set concrete dates although my brother is in Tool Army so he gets good intel.
If u have kazaa you can find some good (and bad) Tool vids.

I cant tell you exactly how I think Tool is a better live show. It has more to do with the songs being played. Both bands perform great, unlike A LOT of bands out there, Metallica and Tool (and a few others ) can actually add to the songs personality and sometimes hearing them live gives you a new perspective on the songs. But for me when the lights go down and the Tool show begins with that synth drone, it becomes other worldly, and almost spiritual, and while Metallica performs with excellence, with tool the show becomes more personal and on a different level than metallica. Tool doesnt play off the audience as much as metallica does, and this does bother people who like to be entertained by the artist interaction. Not that tool doesn't, its just a different interaction than metallica. But since I am a bigger fan of Tool than metallica at this point, My bias leans toward Tool. But Both bands perform well, and sound great.

Id like to hope metallica finds a new approach to their next record. Id like to hear some prog metal again...'

edit: btw thanks for the kind words guys, im pretty proud of that song, its probably our best recording to date. :thumb:

re edit: reccomendations for first metallica album

New to metal: Black Album

Not new to heav music: Master, Justice, lightning, Garage Days, Kill em all.
Justice does have pretty bad production, the only reason I said master first. I say Master and Justice are tied imo for the best overall metallica preformace, only tied becuase of the bad recording of justice. lets start a petition demanding metallica remix Justice so we can hear Jasons bass finally.

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]Not great (controversial I know) - I think its their worst album after St. Anger. It's neither great thrash like RTL,MOP or AJFA, nor great rock like the Loads.

It's a bit mediocre really.

Still a Metallica album though, so it's still got its merits...[/QUOTE]

hate to disagree i think it's one of their best albums, imo better than rtl and kea but not better than mop or ajfa

the black album has some very good lyrics, and VERY good singing by james hetifled probably his best in his whole career, the guitars became more simple than other albums before but metallica gained in singing, that's why it became more appelaing to other people who arent metal heads
:wave: :wave: , not that i'm not one, i'm glad that they made the black album cos it showed me that metallica wasnt just another thrash band, it showed me that they could go beyond that and do whatever they want as musicians, and create a beautiful song like nothing else matters, who the **** doesnt love that song, and most of the songs in that album are pretty good imo

[QUOTE=Squirrel_h4x]On the Metallivault i need a CD key from the St. Anger CD - where is the key ?![/QUOTE]

Same here - My St.Anger CD doesn't have one.... (and yes it is legal)

[QUOTE=gernm17]...and create a beautiful song like nothing else matters, who the **** doesnt love that song, and most of the songs in that album are pretty good imo[/QUOTE]

One has just as much emotion and beauty, if not more than NEM

i prefer fade to black to most slow-ish metallica songs

Yeah , i think Fade to Black is their best *ballad* by far.

This CD key think is pissing me off, theres some col stuff in the 'vault but i can nay get to it. Grrr :evil:

i'm gonna try and get a bootleg of when they play download, but on the download website it wont let me in despite the fact i give them correct log-in details. Bastards

My band is playing FtB for the talent show :)

[QUOTE=ToolOwnz]all of them :thumb: i coudnt name a favorite man, but im digging triad as of late.

uh, lets hear your masterpiece doodooflinger. unless you have music that is better than metallica you shouldnt be making rulings on whether a band that has sold millions and millions of records and pleased millions of fans with live shows should be able to make music. tard. So please post your music I want to hear your ingenious riffage.[/QUOTE]

:rolleyes: So now you need to have the same quality music as the music you are judging? :rolleyes:

So what, he doesnt like Metallica, he doesnt have to be as good as them not to like them, or to judge them.. The way he stated it wasnt exactly exuding intelligence, but I still stand by my statement.

no. He posted..
[quote]or maybe it's cuz Metallica sucks *** and shouldn't be aloud to make music except for Kirk Hammet everyone else in that band is a gay waste of semen.[/quote]

If he is the Decider of Who Should Be Allowed To Write And PLay Music, then **** straight he better pwn metallica.

METTALLICA ROCKS I LOVE EM I WENT TO THE CONCERT ON MAY 9TH it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumb:

[QUOTE=dougefresh]My band is playing FtB for the talent show :)[/QUOTE]






dude that song is cool but kinda easy but who cares lol :lol:

i think Fade to Black is kind of hard, but then again im not the best at guitar. My band may play one in the fall at our schools talent show we were gonna play the one thats going on now but we didnt have enough time to get our **** together. Im in the middle of learning the last solo at themoment. its the only part i dont have down, but can someone show me the tab for the part right after the chorus plays for the last time. i can play what it says on this one tab but its kind of confusing what goes where, so if ya can replie to this and giveme a site or just put it in here. thanks. Fade to Black and One are thier best songs i have to say. but call of the ktulu and Orion, both instrumentals are awesome to, but not alot of people tend to say anything about them.

both ktulu and orion are awesome. there. someone has said something abt them. personally, i favor ktulu idk why.

yeah so do I the solo is like over 2 minutes long, and its just alltgether a better song, but Orion kicks *** to.

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo]both ktulu and orion are awesome. there. someone has said something abt them. personally, i favor ktulu idk why.[/QUOTE]

My favorite Metallica songs have always been the instrumentals. I wish they made more.

they probably should so James hetfield will shut up he is annoying

To live is to die is my favorite metallica instumental. I love it

F*** Metallica

dont talk. dont even speak. Metallica is your father. how dare you show disrespect.

any bassists here? if so, is there anyone who can tell me what bass cliffy is playing on the inside of the ride the lighting cd case? in the booklet i mean.

I'll say it yet again; this thread is for people who [B]like[/B] Metallica. If you don't stay well clear - or you won't last very long

i love Battery and Dyers Eve.Frantic is pretty cool aswell
