I'm curious as to what your definition of spam is...
[QUOTE]
PepsiMetal has the only respectable post on this page.[/QUOTE]
Most posts on this page are related to Metallica, I don't see a problem.

I'm not knockin' you or anything but aren't you being a little harsh?

*also tries not to spam*

Do you know any other solos?

it isn't spam if it's about Metallica in a Metallica thread.

for me there greatest would be ...And Justice For All, then Master of Puppets, then Ride the Lightning.....

when we do covers I normally play lead and our stuff is a bit more tech. then Metallica but I always want to play the rhythm...there is just something I like about Metallica's rhythm sections.

I'm in no band at the time, but i can play MoP, Battery, Fade to Black, One, Sanitarium, Damage Inc, orion, and seek and destroy perfectly......

It toook me forever to learn the songs though because all i'd do is mess around with tallica songs every once in a while....

Sup thread?

Mastor Of Puppets > Ride The Lightning > ...And Justice For All

IMO, of course.

BLS_Infernus: Exactly, we were talking about Metallica, so I don't see what's wrong.

[QUOTE=KingJay]Mastor Of Puppets > Ride The Lightning > ...And Justice For All[/QUOTE]

That's my mindset only a little more like this:

Maste of Puppets >>>>>>> Ride The Lightning > ...And Justice For All

my guess is the guy wants to get in good with the mod...I hope he knows that the rep feature is gone.

I don't know, ...And Justice For All has a special play in my heart. as does St. Anger. It's just a different album (St. Anger) that I really get. I feel that St. Anger was more for Metallica then the fans though

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]my guess is the guy wants to get in good with the mod...I hope he knows that the rep feature is gone.[/QUOTE]

My guess is you're talking about me, and I have the following responses:

I could care less about getting in "good" with any mod.

Yes, rep is gone, but I could care less about it.

No, I just prefer MOP to everything else Metallica has done. Not that their other work isn't bitchin' that's just my mindset.

I'm talking about Joe.

Orion is probalbely their best instrumental. If you ever feel like having funny try to play Battery only down picking. I don't know how James does it. I guess learning to do Battery that way really helped my playing

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]I'm talking about Joe.[/QUOTE]

Well then I stand corrected.

I think Call Of The Ktulu is their best instrumental. It flows really well.

And... you [I]down[/I] pick Battery?!

Edit: To BLS.

My friend does that. In fact, he picks all their songs incorrectly.

Not necessarily. And In my opinion it's RTL > MOP > AJFA

For all of you that really think you're trying to make me feel bad or anything, I'm pretty aware that the rep feature is gone. I'm also not trying to make it good with the mods because I don't care that much. My definition of spam is a little tiny post that doesn't really move the thread. I won't point out any specifics because then all of you will get on my case saying how its not spam when it really is. Spam is what gets threads closed and thats what I'm trying to keep from happening. Mods don't normally care if the thread is about the title if its totally spam. I'm really not bangin on all of you at all, in fact the posts between this and my last one were generally pretty good. Whatever :rolleyes:
You can ask chu, he used to yell at me when I did one word posts ~p.600

On a better note, you can down pick Battery? That's impressive.

[QUOTE]Do you know any other solos?[/QUOTE]

Was that too me? Yea, I know plenty of them. None of which I can play as perfect or flawless or clear.

[QUOTE]My friend does that. In fact, he picks all their songs incorrectly.[/QUOTE]

That's pretty hillarious.

YOU TOO?!

Ok I'm going to not worry about it anymore. Just to everyone before you one word comment think of a little something else to add (and yes you all can yell at me if I do it.)

NP: Fade to Black. Why is this song so amazing? I'm so upset because the video I have of it is really weird and iTunes won't let it go on my iPod because it's "MPEG Muxed" or something like that.

I got the ...AJFA and RTL Tab books, so I've been learning RTL pretty much non-stop, greatest album ever++;

iPod + Video thing right? (I'm going to give you benefit of doubt and just say yeah it is...), well a mate of mine recently got one of those, and was saying something about you having to convert the video clip or something, meh, I dunno :p

[QUOTE=Chu]I got the ...AJFA and RTL Tab books, so I've been learning RTL pretty much non-stop, greatest album ever++;[/QUOTE]

That's pretty cool. I remember we were talking about New Years resolutions and that was one of the things I was going to do, learn RTL, MOP, and AJFA all the way through.

yeah I can down pick Battery...it took me forever to get that down. that's why I laugh when people are like "OMG look at John Petriucci the shredder" I'm like "That's not so impressive...he alt. picks which makes it easier to play faster...sure he has a mount more theory knowledge then me but I would be more impressed if he down picked."

try to get Battery down by down picking...it will make you such a better musician and it will help you with your time sig.

Same goes with bass, learning to finger pick that bass part has made learning other ahead of the beat bass lines like Master of the Puppets and other Iron Maiden stuff.

yeah I'm trying to learn finger picking as well...it's kind of a bitch but I'm getting it down slowly

NP: Harvester of Sorrow

ahhhhhhh I can't wait for the new album...they need to hurry

You haven't seen John Petrucci Live.. Have you? (That includes videos online...)

Because fyi he's definately not a strict alt. picker...

I've seen him may times and that's all I've ever seen him do...even on the Metallica covers Dream Theater did. don't get me wrong the man can do all kinds of tricks and cool **** (I find him kind of boring and emotionless though) but if you can down pick stuff and still play from Battery's speed and up then in my book you are the man

And what part of Battery is down picked?

most of it I guess...I know it all isn't down picked but James does that so I thought to better myself I would do all of Battery like that

I think actually James did most of the MOP album down picked. I know Puppets and Leper Messiah are, I just found out Battery is, it seems like Orion is, most of Sanitarium is. Crazy.

I can downpick nearly all of Master of Puppets, but not at full speed. Now I'm going to try to do Battery... (I can't even do it right with alt. picking).

John Petrucci is cool and all, but I agree with you BLS (what's your name?) that he's awfully boring and emotionless.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]And what part of Battery is down picked?[/QUOTE]


Actually, most of that song is trebble picked AKA gallop picking.

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]most of it I guess...I know it all isn't down picked but James does that so I thought to better myself I would do all of Battery like that[/QUOTE]
It would be better to do it how you feel comfortable not how James does it.

Err... Capital What The ****...

I have a video of Dream Theater covering Master of Puppets (Are there more then one?), and you can clearly see Petrucci downpicking...

Edit:
[QUOTE=Joe]I can downpick nearly all of Master of Puppets, but not at full speed. Now I'm going to try to do Battery... (I can't even do it right with alt. picking).[/QUOTE]
I'm fairly happy with my Master of Puppets now, I KNOW I can do the first 3:30 at full speed (Well I've never actually timed it with the song, but from ear it is pretty accurate imo) since I'm the only guitarist, and I really don't have that much skill, I'm not going to try to do anymore of it until we find a Lead guitarist I guess.

[QUOTE=Joe]John Petrucci is cool and all, but I agree with you BLS (what's your name?) that he's awfully boring and emotionless.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry he doesn't drench his solos in wah :P

I wish you idiot metal heads would stop being so sweaty and agressive. Metallica is overrated and you idiots know it.

Please bash Metallica in the emo/screamo thread where people actually care what you have to say. Yes they are slightly overrated and i acknowledge it but they kicked royal @ss in the 80's and early 90's (hopefully this year too)
