[QUOTE=Britton]I do it cause my brother once lost a cd case on a airplane. And he had to go back out and buy 200$ worth of cd's. So I make copys.[/QUOTE]
Oh damn the same thing happened to my brother about 5 years ago on an airplane. And it was right when he got off of the plane that he noticed they were missing. That's less than 2 minutes. He went back to check, and som piece of **** stole it.

I don't know what I would do if I lost all my music cause not all of it is on CD. It's on my iPod so I guess that's a good backup. But losing nearly 1,000 songs sucks.

[QUOTE=BartDude]Hahaha I have nothing against Dyers Eve, it's just compared to the others its not one of my favorites. It's a pretty instense song. I almost died trying to play it on the drums.[/QUOTE]

I'd like to see you play just about any death metal then. Dyers Eve is 194bpm in mostly 16ths for the verses...Nile's Unas Slayer of the Gods fluctuates between 110 and 120bpm in 32nds for the verses

I just downloaded sonata Arctica's FTB. Very very nice. The solos weren't quite as good as metallica's, they were kinda too scratchy, but the rhythm sounded very nice and clean. The vocals fit the song very good too. This is the best cover for any metallica's song I've heard. I wish hammerfall does some metallica covers. That would be tight.

I downloaded anthrax´s cover of sanitarium. Sounds a lot like metallica...

Covers are supposed to.:smash:

Did 'Tallica ever release the 'elevator version' of Nothing Else Matters?

[QUOTE=ValeOfShadows]I thought St Anger had a very thrashy sound.[/QUOTE]

St. anger was kinda like thrash and speed I think. Doesn't sound at all like nu metal.

I just downloaded the original version of Stone Cold Crazy and Breadfan. Metallica's versions are way more fcking awesome

[QUOTE=DaveTheAmazing 2.0]I just downloaded the original version of Stone Cold Crazy and Breadfan. Metallica's versions are way more fcking awesome[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Stone Cold Crazy is really great Live. I love the double bass that Lars adds in the 2nd verse. I have Metallica's version of Breadfan. Hey btw who wrote the original Breadfan? I wanna download it cause Metallica's cover is really cool. All I get when I search Breadfan is Metallica's version.

I was in a local rock club last night having a couple of drinks with loads of mates. It was fully an emo fest I was just disgusted at the site I thought to myself is this were music is really heading into the 21st century? After awhile I was getting sick of the music so I went up to the DJ and was like dude you've played nothing but **** all night could you please just save your self from futher torture and embrassement and play some old school Metallica. The DJ replied yeah ok if I play you a song from Master Of Puppets you gotta promise to stop pulling your face so I said deal. Few hours later Orion came on me and my friend just got up out are seats went straight onto the dance floor and started headbanger and playing air guitar and all the emo kids just left the stage and it was just me my friend and a dew metalheads!
Then during the bass solo part a drunk guy was just screaming Cliff! Cliff! we ****ing miss you! **** Jason & **** Rob! :chug: :lol:

You guys are being kind of biased.St.Anger had alot of nu metal qualities.

[QUOTE=RyanTheDrummer]You guys are being kind of biased.St.Anger had alot of nu metal qualities.[/QUOTE]
What nu-metal qualities did it have? I don't see any.

[QUOTE=RyanTheDrummer]You guys are being kind of biased.St.Anger had alot of nu metal qualities.[/QUOTE]
Actually yeah it did have some. But that isn't what Metallica was aiming for. The main nu metal elements though weren't there. It just so happens that a couple of stuff that nu metal ppl do was in a couple of the songs. Its mostly just metal.

It's just coincidence, not nu-metal.

[QUOTE=RyanTheDrummer]You guys are being kind of biased.St.Anger had alot of nu metal qualities.[/QUOTE]

Nu-metal - Often has rapping, a DJ, simple guitar riffs, simple bass that follows guitar, hip hop inspired beats, no or short solos, etc...

The only things I see with st. anger that's nu metal is no solos, and the agressive vocals. It sounds thrashy, it sounds speedy, so yea, it's not fair to classify them as limp bizkit.

I don't know about St. Anger being Nu Metal. there are only maybe one or two songs that could be consider Nu Metal because James used a 7 string and a Baritone on them

:amaze: I never saw a 7 string or a baritone on the rehearsal dvd.

the LTD Viper with the green flames was a baritone and the LTD F series guitar with the bolt-on neck was a 7 string

[QUOTE=KingJay]:amaze: I never saw a 7 string or a baritone on the rehearsal dvd.[/QUOTE]

He used a 7-string when recording most of the persidio stuff. (or so he says)

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]I don't know about St. Anger being Nu Metal. there are only maybe one or two songs that could be consider Nu Metal because James used a 7 string and a Baritone on them[/QUOTE]

I agree. Most of St. Anger isn't really Nu Metal. Plus you can say that James practically raps in the verses of Purify. But other than that I wouldn't classify St.Anger as Nu Metal.

Hey ya'll check it out! Kirk playing little wing!

in the rehearsal video he uses a 7 string on Some Kind of Monster, Baritone on Invisible Kid. I would hardly call those Nu Metal and most Nu Metal bands use baritones and 7 strings to get that downtuned song

St. Anger =\= Nu Metal

The Grinch? Don't you have one too?

Which song(s) was that?

yeah I have a LTD Grynch...nice guitar

Hi there!

i wanted to visit mxtabs for... tabs, and was suprised that they don't have them anymore...
anyway, i read a few threads when i bumped into this one...

now, you have to know that i live in Freiberg Am Neckar, which is near Stuttgart, germany. freiberg and stuttgart are nice - the only problem is: in 15 years i've lived in this region i haven't met somebody to talk about metallica seriously. (also it might explain why my language isn't 100% grammatically correct :) )

so, lets get to the point.. you may want to understand that i didn't want to read 1000+ posts, so i dunno if this was asked/said before...

i'd like to know why so many people don't like the st.anger album.
sure, it's no match to the old stuff, which i also know good, but imo you can't compare it to each other.
sure, it sounds bad, sometimes simply wrong! but if you look at it from that way that it was meant to be as close to 'live' as possible (not concert-live!), and that it's not about the music in the first way, but about the feelings you get by listening and the messages that are (i can't find a better word...) 'said/expressed', it's a kick *** album!
just listen to purify: the way james screams 'PURIFY! C'MON, PURIFY!' at 4:30 (actually the whole passage from 3:55 to 4:30, 'won't you help me??!' ), it sounds so desperate, so close to how he really (seems) to feel.
There are lots of examples ('the unnamed feeling', 'sweet amber',...).
just try out singing/screaming along with james, it's a ******* good feeling!

also, what the do to the rythm is astonishing! again, 'the unnamed feeling' is a good example.
though all the tracks have a similar sounding, many songs are fully packed with variety.

don't get me wrong: the old stuff is great, too. i start crying once in a while when i'm in the right mood and a song (master of puppets and battery the most) strikes me with my pants down!

woh!long post. again,plz excuse my spelling whatsoever.
just wanted to let you guys know: metal up stuttgarts ***, i'll do what i can do ;)

Wow, your English is certainly better than my German.

Our feelings have been for St. Anger have been discussed many times. And most of (I think?) feel that it's not as bad as everyone thought it was. I think there are some good tracks, and the only real problem I have with that album is the drum production and the silly lyrics, such as in Frantic, though Frantic is my favorite track on St. Anger.

Welcome to MX :wave:

Welcome to the forums but I have no idea on what your post is about.

Edit: Nevermind, I understand it now. It's 8am, I haven't slept and the odd placement of paragraphs was messing with my mind.

My band's doing a Metallica Medley for an upcoming gig. How awesome is that?

What I got from his post is that, St. Anger is more about the Metallica's emotions and feelings. And that if you really listen to James' vocals and how he sings you can see all the emotion put into the songs.

yeah I got that feeling as well...my favorites would be 'My World', 'The Unnamed Feeling' and 'Invisible Kid' as well as 'Sweet Amber'

He plays it I think in the Seatle show on Live Sh*t. I'm not sure, it's one of them.

[QUOTE]My band's doing a Metallica Medley for an upcoming gig. How awesome is that?[/QUOTE]

Mine too! One --> FTB --> Breadfan --> Creeping Death.

Welcome to Littlecreep.
I have no idea why so many people don't like it. It's probably got a lot to do with how much different it is from previous albums. I like it a lot, but there are plenty of things they could have and should have done differently and better.

I figured out how to put videos on my iPod. I'm about to have a ton of Metallica on there.

BLS-- I got the Unamed Feeling EP. It's one of the videos going on my iPod. It's one of my favorites on St Anger
