Yeah I know that part, but I mean say song 1 was Bellz.

You might get 3 guitarists wanting to play lead because they so love that song and play it everyday in their room...how would we choose who does it?

I guess they'd all record and post and we'd vote for the best track.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Yeh people who wanna take part should post an audio example of what they want to do e.g. one verse/solo etc. of their chosen song(s)

just throwing this out there... is the rumor about Metallica Firing Kirk Hammet true?

...doubtful.

I'm recording the Battery rhythm atm because my mum's being a bastard and not letting me play my gutiar upstairs because of my asshole brother "wants peace and quiet after school" :rolleyes: Cu[size=2]n[/size]ts.

But it's not for this thing, I just want to do it 'cause I have nothing else to do and I'll upload it later or something.

Haha, no way.

The guitars on the Puppets album were recorded in 3 weren't they?

I read somewhere that there's left, right and centre.

There's a lot more than that, try 8 or so.

[QUOTE=Dave]There's a lot more than that, try 8 or so.[/QUOTE]

What makes you say 8?

Sounds like it could be just 3 to me.

Double tracking is all over the place.

Well there is three: left, right, and center.

...For Kirk, James, the clean part that's played behind the harmonies. I think that's it, so 9.

(It's not uncommon for me to have a song with 12 or so guitar tracks. I love double tracking.)

So what songs are we doing? Whose doing them?

[QUOTE]You might get 3 guitarists wanting to play lead because they so love that song and play it everyday in their room...how would we choose who does it?[/QUOTE]

Depends on the song. And there's always the record it and we'll vote technique.

I don't think any songs have been decided yet for sure but Fade to Black, Battery, For Whom the Bell Tolls have all been listed, along with Chu's list.

[QUOTE=Happy]I guess they'd all record and post and we'd vote for the best track.[/QUOTE]

I agree, I mean if for example 3 drummers all posted the drums too... Battery, Its just a case of deciding who's drum track serves the song best... I mean no hard feelings. The way I see it is, I know there are thousands of drummers worse than me, I know there are thousands of drummers better than me... Its just the way it is. If I don't like that its tough lmao.

I am going to have a little trouble recording battery also.. I was recording it yesterday afternoon when I fell of my drum throne in pain, I wen't down to the hospital and they diagnosed me with a sprained spine and neck. Told me to do nothing for 3 days and then no lifting ect for 7 days:, However.. They have given me some extremely strong co-codamol and some Diazapam that basically relaxes all the muscles.. so I think I should still be ok to play it...

I don't know if anyone here has ever had Diazapam but it has some pretty lethal side effects lol... I will post them because it will probably make you guys smile as it did with me....

Diazapam is taken by many patients without problems however it may occasionally cause side effects in some people. The most common side effects are...

Tiredness, Drowsiness, Reduced Alertness, Muscle Weakness, Loss Of Memory, Difficulty sleeping, Anxiety, Loss of co-ordination, confusion, depression, dizziness, Blurred or double vision, Slurred Speech, Nausia, Vomiting, Abdominal Pain, Diarroea, Consipation, Headaches, Low Blood Pressure, Changes in sexual desire, Production of too much/too little saliva, Skin Reactions, Shaking, Incontinance, Problems passing water, Jaundice, Increased levels of certain substances in the blood, Restlessness, Agitation, Irritability, Agressivness, Delusions, Rages, Nightmares, Hallucinations, Psychiatric Disorders, Unsuitable Behaviour.

Well!! After reading the warning leaflet I began to think... hmmm Maybe My back doesn't feel so bad after all lmao :smoke:

Also, I got my new double bass pedal today so yay!

P.S Can I recommend Harvester of sorrow also?

Wow, pretty intense story there dude, go easy on yourself. Spraining your neck/spine + playing Battery on drums could = more pain/worse injury.

Harvester of Sorrow rawks.

I'll be the first to say it...that's hxc

i can't believe this thread is still going...

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]i can't believe this thread is still going...[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I don't get it either.

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]i can't believe this thread is still going...[/QUOTE]

I remember the first day you started this. Funny isn't it?

Guys, you don't have to ask about a song to record.

Record your own version, because that will make people hurry up and record theirs.

P.S. I'm definately not being involved in For Whom The Bell Tolls, but I would love to see what you guys can come up with. I have played it just too much, it pisses me off (But still, sick song to listen to :p).

I listenned to the whole of Ride The Lightning today, haven't done that in a very long time.

Such a pro album. :D

Ive got a backing track for sanitarium so i might do that today. I cant do the solo though so it might be a copy and paste job haha.

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]i can't believe this thread is still going...[/QUOTE]

Yes, it is. Aren't you proud of us? I think it's the longest running R&M thread.

A backing... guitar track? That sounds cool. Post it whenever you get a chance

I did too. I've been listening to Kill 'Em All a lot lately and when I listened to all of RTL again I remembered why it's my favorite.

I hope Metallica's new album is as good as Iron Maiden's.

You don't need to copy and paste, someone else could do it.

Well since noone else is, I might as well post something because I actually want this project to happen!!

Just a quick take of that solo for fun.

Ha, pretty good. Anyone else seen the Simpsons clip yet?

I think it sounds better than the original haha

[QUOTE=playguitar]Ha, pretty good. Anyone else seen the Simpsons clip yet?[/QUOTE]

They have Act one of the episode they are in on the official Simpsons Myspace.

Its really only a cameo and they aren't part of the whole episode unfortunately.

I think the site is [url]http://www.myspace.com/thesimpsons[/url]

It should show up on the tv screen, a commercial should play first.

[QUOTE=Joe]I hope Metallica's new album is as good as Iron Maiden's.[/QUOTE]

That would be wonderful, but I don't see it happeneing. I have as much faith for Metallica as the next guy, but based on the two new songs I've heard their next album will be St. Anger+solos. I actually don't mind that as I can listen to St. Anger from time to time and with the addition of solos it'll make it all the more listenable. I doubt they'll ever be able to cunjur up an album like MOP or RTL again, though.

Mmm, unfortunately my brother (My drummer) doesn't want to learn any more Metallica songs.. So I can no longer get the drums for ...AJFA.

I'm coming pretty well, as far as the guitar and vocals go. (Although the vocals come in at a weird time so I often lose place if I'm singing and playing, but the more I practice the better I'll get), I'm learning each seperate riff at the moment, I'm not too good at combining the riffs, but this is how I learn most songs, it might not be the most effecient way, but I know it works for me.

Just wanted to keep you guys up to date, I haven't forgotten :D

Edit: For some reason I can *only* downpick and sing, I can't sing if I'm alt. picking, and to downpick requires so much concentration from me, but at least ...AJFA isn't MoP :D
