Yup, I play guitar.

why does everyone play guitar? Is it because its easier to learn but harder to play?

I've noticed that in this generation of teens, many have played guitar at one point or another. Some continue, like myself, and others realize that they picked it up for the wrong reasons, or go to a different instrument.

I chose to play guitar because I wanted to be able to play fast solos.

Yeh the fast solos reason....

It's just a really accesable instrument that one can pick up and play any where any time, and learning things is (or was) as easy as typing a name of a song into a search...

fast soloing :lol:

you haven't seen to many good bass players or drummers I take it

drums are fun too

I think people start for the factor of 'looking cool'
not the factor of learning to one day, create and play music that will influence people.

But looking cool is a bonus...

AHAHAHAHA!

Yes I have. I know plenty fast drummers. But the fact is when I was like 12 I wanted to be able to play the solos that I heard on my favorite CD's.

Because it's fun, and I love Kirk Hammett....

I reckon people these days learn to play guitar because there's heaps of famous guitar players.Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, and of course, Kirk Hammet.where as Drummers and Bass players aren't as famous(probably gonna be proven wrong).You don't always here about people like Tommy Lee or Gene Simmons gettin an awesome solo in a song, although we get that a fair bit here in R&M (not of these particular rythm players).but in the long run, rythm doesn't get as much praise as a wacked out guitar solo. I play bass, but thats coz on a regular guitar, i can't get as much coordination on the smaller strings and frets.

i know a lot of people who play guitar just so they can sit at home and play songs they know, and then when it becomes too hard, they quit wasting hundreds of dollars of tuition fees.
its true guitarists are generally given much more publicity than bass players.

Ahh...im not going to flame you but there are many famous drummers. Mike Portnoy, Dave Weckl, Virgil Donati, Buddy Rich. Actually i suppose your right i bet most of you havent heard of some of them.

Yeah i suppose i haven't heard of many famous drummers.but then again, i post here, and i have never heard lars do a solo.people talk about him doing a solo, but i'm beggining to think its a myth.

Curse this young and innexperienced mind!

Well drummers are basically only famous to other drummers.

I see your point but Hetfield gets more praise in the general public as a guitar player then Hammett does. I saw in a mag. called "Greatest Guitars of All Time" and Hetfield was 54 and Hammett wasn't on the list nor was Steve Vai, Satriani, Zakk Wylde and a long list of other great guitar players

Those lists suck most of the time.

Lars did a drum solo when he was going at it against James at live sh[I]i[/I]t binge and purge [I]I think[/I].

But yea, guitarists [B]are[/B] more famous than bassists and drummers. Majority of people who listen to popular music know many guitarists and barely any drummers or bassists.

It's originally by the Anti-Nowhere League.

The Metallica version is much better than the original.

Hi guys, I'm doing an assignment on heavy metal and I want to say how Master of Puppets changed heavy metal.
I have put that Metallica were little known before they released this album, would I be right in saying that?
If not what should I put?

I wouldn't say that they were little known, because they were quite popular in Europe. Master of Puppets was their first album to go platinum. It's an album that many artists' of today admire, even 20 years on. I would definantly say that it was their first big album.

Shall I put they were little known in their own country of America and this was the album that did it for them? I have written that Kill em All had some great songs but seemed to be aimed more at teenagers for the purpose of head banging and ride the lightning had some amazing songs like fade to black it also had some kinda cheesy ones like trapped under ice.

MoP combined the good elements of both and was a lot more conscious and subtle cos it's a kind of Concept album.

Ride The Lighting estaplishied them with quite alot of fans In europe when it was released aswell.
