Well it sounded "messed up" because it wasn't in the same tuning. They hit the right notes for being tuned a whole step down.

Yea probably. They should have done in same tuning then. Cause you can't really switch between tunings and expect songs to sound great in each one. I thought's Trivium's cover was best, although not by far. I didn't think the CD was any good.

I personnaly thought that Triviums was a little too similar to the original. Like they didnt really make it their own. But yeah the CD wasnt overly great. Battery was my favourite coz I love the dist guitar tone on it.

trivium's cover wasn't musically imaginative, but it was good, and i liked the vocals. Menseed's TTSNB was good, but it pisses me right off that the drummer tried to show up Lars in it.

yeah, the bass should have been louder in Mastodon's Orion, the solitary bassline in the middle of the song is just wonderful.

[QUOTE=Thor]Anyone heard Mastodon's Orion cover yet? It's awesome![/QUOTE]

along with Battery, they are the best song on that album.

Fighstars cover was a revelation IMO

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]along with Battery, they are the best song on that album.[/QUOTE]

na, Battery yes, but na orion. allthough it is good, MOP owns it it, IMO. so does Sanitarium. i don't like the emo-esque vocals with the sissy backing singing, but i love it when he screams: "no, no no, leave me alooone!"

allthough i don't like Hardcore at at all, there's something about the more metal and screaming bands that kind of catches my ear. i love hearing a sissy emo hardcore voice sing, and then hear it get torn up by a truly raw screaming rampage. like, for example, the Sanitarium cover(who is it? BFMV?).


[QUOTE=Salle D'attente]Fighstars cover was a revelation IMO[/QUOTE]
yea, you can see they have talent, but they waste it on gay hardcore bollocks(haha)

What in your opinion is the best part in a metallica song ever?

I would say the intro and the buildup to the thrashy part in Battery. That bit is amazing, and when the electrics kick in it defines metal for me.

I like the DIE part of Creeping Death the best. However there are so many good moments, its hard to seperate one from the others.

just list favourites then

The Die part in Creeping Death
The Drum Beats in Sad But True
The slower solo in Master of Puppets
The intro to Fade to Black and For Whom the Bells Toll
The intro solo to One


Those are probably my top 5.

Orion, Damage Inc, Blackened, One, Battery, Ride the Lightning,The Call of Ktulu and Dyers Eve.

Those are my favorites, as far as the best song i would say Orion.

i am refraining from singling out 'tallica songs... it would take me hoursseeing as there isn't one of their songa that i don't [I]like,[/I] and toooooo many that i love.

yeah taht's a good one. the FtB intro owns, and the NOP slow solo is lovely.

top 5

1. Intro to Ride The Lightning - Its just so evil, foreboding and downright awesome.
2. Fade to Black first solo and verse rhythm - The acoustics are so beautifully depressing.
3. Creeping Death's breakdown at 3:40, the die bit.
4. Wherever I May Roam - where the electrics come in at 0:29
5. The Outlaw Torn riff at 0:29

On that Kerrang album I thought Trivium did the best cover. I thought Mastodon screwed their cover. And fightstar are frickin awesome. I love that dudes voice and I thought the double bass in it really helped the song out.


Most of the other bands seemed kinda avarage to me.

And don't diss someone just because they don't like the same album as you. I really don't care that much for the Black album either. It's almost too mainstream...but hey that's just me.

You wanna knock my I.Q now too?

If I hear that one more time at guitar center, with kidiots trying to "one up" each other.

Learn it behind your head. They won't be able to keep up.

I hate that song. I've heard it so many times, I'll go postal if I hear it again.

Only Metallica song worth anything is, One.

I never liked S&D much either. Never understood why it's loved so much.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]I never liked S&D much either. Never understood why it's loved so much.[/QUOTE]


It's flashy and easy to play.

But it's dull as hell. It's like
"Running, dying" for 3 minutes.

Slow MOP solo
"Die Die Die" breakdown in Creeping Death
Wah Solo in The Outlaw Torn
Chorus on Until It Sleeps
Intro to Fade to Black
Bass wah solos in Call of Ktulu
Overdriven bass solo in Orion towards the end
Middle part of To Live Is To Die

MoP interlude
Fade to Black Intro
NEM solo at the end
Interlude/Slow part in Orion
Intro Seek and destroy
Intro for whom the bell tolls
Intro leads in One, as well as last melodic solo/part thing
Melodic solo thingy in creeping death

I dont know those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

When the hell is the new album coming out?

Probably late this year or early 2007, we don't know exactly.

Playing table-hockey with Rob. Damn, that must have been cool.

So It is actually going to come out?
I REALLY hope lars doesnt use that stupid bell snare.
