Kind of going downhill in terms of activity, but there it is.[/QUOTE]
Cheers bro, and back into favourites it goes.

Oh, I understand that Lars can't play Dyer's Eve. But, why not. Why all the sudden did he lose his ability to play it. It seems weird.

1. He's old and Danish.
2. He never could play it.
3. He never will.

:lol:

Lars just simply keeps a simple beat, he isn't very talented at all. He can't even play the double bass in One, and any monkey can do that.


Edit:

I looked back a page, and well, what song are you guys doing? I could try and lend a hand with the drums if I find the time.

BTW, the reason the Tool guys are so ahead is because they have Rounder and Matter. Those guys are like a secret weapon. Though they are now compiling tracks without them.

Holy Wars, Take No Prisoners, potentially Five Magics and Peace Sells.

I'm still up for recording Five Magics by the way on bass if I can be bothered, and find out I can actually get a good recording sound :rolleyes:

I ain't got the best setup...

I also think, just because Hetfield is fairly masterful in his ways of Palm musted downpicking, doesn't mean he can't alternate pick. I'd assume you could pick that up from playing for over 25 years eh?

:smash: (and yes, I like that one. Its my 'sig' if you will. I'm from the bass forum, and I mostly post in there. I could see it might look a little odd if you don't know me :p)

Guys, I need your help. I'm learning "Holy Wars", and I'm on the second electric solo. I'm using the guitar tabs from an old issue of Guitar World. I have a rip in the magazine, and I can't read out the tabs correctly.

Okay, so in the second electric solo: The 5th fret is bent up a full step, and slowly released. Does it hammer on to the 9th fret, or pull-off to the 3rd? Its in the first bar of that solo.
Thanks

Pulls off to the 3rd.

I'll record a sample of Five Magics later tonight, right now I'm working on that dam[b][i][/b][/i]n interlude part. Fu[b][i][/b][/i]ck you Marty Friedman, fu[b][i][/b][/i]ck you.

Thanks man. :lol: at the Five Magics thing. If I work hard, I'll have Holy Wars done by the end of this week. I'm doing some other things, so it will probably take me that long.

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]It's a shame we don't have a drummer that's ready to do a track.. That's why the Tool guys have it so easy, they have a couple of drummers with the ability to record[/QUOTE]

Im trying to get a good recording program to download in order to do the drum tracks, can anyone suggest any? take no prisoners will be a challenge to do it flawlessly, but it will be done

Everyone including myself has Audacity, its pretty good for free software. Get it at [url]http://audacity.sourceforge.net[/url]

I can recommend cool edit pro 2, if you're into... . Illegal downloading

Knifeboy, are you still up for doing vocals?

[QUOTE]I
Lars... That's a different issue. He can't play Dyers Eve up to speed (half speed double kicks live), so yes, he may well get owned by some Megadeth songs. QUOTE]

Honestly, watch lars on any live metallica DVD and compare it to Jimmy Degrasso on Rude Awakening....no comparison...

Definately

Metallica and Megadeth are both great bands, but does Dave Mustaine does not always get enough credit. Metallica is thought of as a much better band by some people. I think that Dave Mustaine is a better thrash metal guitarist than Kirk Hammett. Am i the only one that thinks this, or what? For the people that say Kill'em All is their favorite metallica ablum, should be huge fans of Megadeth. This is not always the case. What do you think?

That has been discussed so many times, it should be against the rules.

Such an overdone question, and its pointless to ask in this thread.

Awesome, I thought the sample you did was excellent.

Hey folks..i am a Huge Metallica fan..but i also like a lotta Megadeth. The reason i also give Kirk and James the edge is cause of songs like Sanitarium, Fade to Black, ya know the awesome melodic stuff that picks up later on. I however haven't heard a handful of stuff by Megadeth tunes and i was wondering if Megadeth has any tunes like those. Any help?

In My Darkest Hour is a great one, but there's even more than that I'm sure a bigger fan could tell you.

Yeah, i know it. Good song. I luv the begining but the rest doesn't really gimme what i get from huge ones from Kirk and James.

A Tout Le Monde from Youthenasia.
Some people could say Ecstasy from Risk... :confused:
Forclosure of a Dream from Countdown, but I dunno, it just has some soft elements I guess.

Looking Down the Cross, In My Darkest Hour, (sort of) Mary Jane, Foreclosure of a Dream, A Tout Le Monde, Trust, Tears in a Vial, Of Mice and Men... They're not as much cookie cutter metal ballads like Metallica's if that's what you're after though. A Tout Le Monde is probably the closest to the Tallica ones.

i cant wait for gigantour :)
