Well then... Anesthesia was an awesome live solo, but failed on KEA as a studio recording IMO. TBH, bass solos in metal should be left to one man: Billy Sheehan.

And Trivium did headline when I saw them. Played for an hour I think... No individual solos, just tore through the tracks.

:smash:

I saw this local band called Dirty Harry who does nothing but cover 80's metal songs,and they played one.
It actually didn't sound to bad,but the bassist tuned way to high :-\
Hey what's all this NP talk?

so i heard a new metallica album is in the works. any confirmation?

[QUOTE=logain]so i heard a new metallica album is in the works. any confirmation?[/QUOTE]

Yup. The band have been in the studio for about a month, maybe a little more.

^
Read back a few pages son. :lol: JK.
But seriously.Read back some.

meh all i saw was some guy talking about new stuff. no links

I asked the same thing.Meh.
But yeah,from what these NICE people have told me a new metallica album is indeed in the works.And it ought to rock hard. \m/

You mean something like Anesthesia or something like Orion? He's a great bassist, it would be shameful if they didn't show him off.[/QUOTE]
Do you think that they would maybe put Jungle Essence on there if they were to put a bass solo track? Or even a similar version of it?

I would hope so.
Metallica has always been a favorite of mine,and to say all the great bass lines/solos didn't have anything to do with it would be a lie.
Metallica has always been my bass solo fix.:chug:

im gessing cliff is your favorite

I'd say so. He's in his avatar.

You have to admit Jason wasn't a bad bassist either.

[QUOTE]Do you think that they would maybe put Jungle Essence on there if they were to put a bass solo track? Or even a similar version of it?[/QUOTE]

I don't know. Maybe part of another song but probably not its own track.

[QUOTE=Joe]You have to admit Jason wasn't a bad bassist either.[/QUOTE]

i no i just think cliff is better

[QUOTE=.:Thrasher:.]i no i just think cliff is better[/QUOTE]

Without a doubt. Jason had some awesome riffs and he also had more time in the band then Cliff did. I'm curious as what ...AJFA would have been like with Cliff.

I never really did think Anesthesia was that impressive. I hope if they do do something on the next album that its more impressive.

I think a really test is to see who is better Rob or Cliff...in sound I would say Rob...stage presence is equally in my opinion

There'd be no To Live Is To Die.

[QUOTE=KingJay]There'd be no To Live Is To Die.[/QUOTE]

Yea I was just thinking about that. All those riffs would still exsist because Cliff wrote most of them, but yes they would be different songs. I have a feeling the songs would have been a little shorter and most definitely more bass.

They most likely would have kept writing thrash too.

What about if Kirk stayed with Exodus. I keep thinking about that too.

i seriously think cliff is better in sound

I wouldn't like Metallica. They'd be too out of reach for me. I got into Metallica because I liked Enter Sandman which wasn't thrash at all. Liked that, then Fade to Black, and etc.

How about if they didn't hire Bob?

if the line was James, lars, dave, and cliff think about it

[QUOTE=Joe]How about if they didn't hire Bob?[/QUOTE]
They'd still have my respect. :thumb:

And I think Exodus would be better.

[QUOTE]They'd still have my respect.[/QUOTE]

Why don't they?

[QUOTE=KingJay]There'd be no To Live Is To Die.[/QUOTE]

bulhonky

u no the words that they did in that song? cliff wrote them To live is to die wasent supposed to be a instrumental but then cliff died and they wanted to use that bit he wrote

[QUOTE=Joe]Why don't they?[/QUOTE]
Ok, hasty reply :p I still love the music they released with Bob, but it doesn't strike me as being 'Metallica'.

I know Cliff wrote the poem. To Live Is To Die was one of his sayings. Most of the riffs were old ones Cliff wrote. So if he hadn't have died they most likely wouldn't have been used in one song.

Exodus wouldn't have been much better or worse with Kirk. Gary Holt has always done the majority of songwriting in Exodus anyway.

The only difference is that Impaler probably would have been included on [I]Bonded By Blood[/I].

as i said but forgot to say that the riffs in that song were his:angry:

IMO he one of the most talented musicians ever along with Eric Clapton, James Hetfield and so

when Kirk was in Exodus did he help write some of the lyrics and riffs?
