I didn't know Metallica was actually on the studio, i thought they were like only writting some stuff, but not actually recording some stuff.

Also Metallica will headline the South Africa concerts, and not co- headline like it said on Encymet.

The tribute iwas talking it was this:

But it was on 2003, so i don't think it was the set you where looking for.

Nope that's not what I was looking for. But that's cool! anyone own that album?

You guys act like Metallica is undetground or something.
They're actually a REALLY popular band.Even the kids who don't listen to rock have heard of metallica.
Meh maybe it's just different in your areas.

they started as a underground band in San Fran.

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]they started as a underground band in San Diego[/QUOTE]
Um... What? Metallica were from the LA area of California.

I thought they started in San Fran?

[QUOTE=Phallus Dei]I thought they started in San Fran?[/QUOTE]
No, they moved to San Fran in order to get Cliff to join.

I meant San Fran...I just used my ninja skill to edit that post.

I don't remember were they started before Ron was booted for Cliff but they got success in San Fran

firstly they started in the bay area of san fran

they went to L.A to perform but it wasent treating them well so when cliff said i will only join if u move to san fran and they were glad to move

Hey just found this awsome clip of cliff in his first band, its in '74 but the start of clip says '84, theve fu'kd up, anyway you can clearly see that its cliff by his style and at the end theres a little interview....also when it hits the 10 minute mark cliff starts playing the for whom the bell tolls intro.. very interesting....... definetly worth watching

.............keep headbangin

i have a boss me-50 and im tring to dial in a metallica tone. anybody in here that can help me out, since theres so many distortions and variations on this pedal

Many people have heard metallica as a band name, but not actually their music. That's at least how it was in georgia. lol. It was all lil jon and crunk rap down there.

it's kind of surprising how much Metallica has very little to do with MTV and all that pop TV/radio crap that feeds all that "you must buy this" crap that Metallica is the number 1 selling band to date. sure Elivis has sold the most and a few other artist have sold more then Metallica but they are the #1 most selling band ever and you hardly hear anything about them

AFAIK beatles have sold ALOT more than metallica.

ok maybe in the top 5 then...they have sold an *** load of records though

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]ok maybe in the top 5 then...they have sold an *** load of records though[/QUOTE]
Try like top 50... top five haha thats just a dumb claim.

How do you hardly hear about Metallica?

Please.

it could be my area but the only time I ever hear bout Metallica is if I look for it on the internet.

ok so maybe in the top 50 but again they have sold an *** load of records

Any time you hear metal bands you always hear of Metallica, you saying you never hear about them is like me saying the Beatles don't get enough credit....
:rolleyes:

Seriously stop ejaculating all over Metallica they get all the credit they deserve, they are a great band but some of the claims people make in here are just retarded. This is almost as bad as the ACDC thread, in terms of ignorance.

Do you like in Australia or somewhere else?

I live in Redmond, Washington...all you ever hear about is Kurt Cobain and Death Cab for Cutie

[QUOTE=Phallus Dei]Try like top 50... top five haha thats just a dumb claim.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Phallus Dei]No top 50... they haven't sold over 100 million[/QUOTE]

They sold over 90 million records when SKOM came out. St. Anger probably sold quite a bit. So it is probably over 100.
