Metallica ****in rocks live!!! I saw my first Metallica concert Mon 8/30, and even got the live concert recording from livemetallica.com

Lemme tell you what it took to get to this momentus day:

10 yrs of being a Metallica fan (my brother brought the black album home from college on tape, and I have been hooked ever since)

4 chances since then to see Metallica

2 times of that not having a job or enough money to go

1 time that it was a school night, and also above...

$186.75 in tickets for myself, my wife and my best friend

1 pissed off rant at the ticketmaster lady when two weeks after I got my balcony seats, 2000 more floor seats opened up.

5 months of waiting for the date to arrive, counting down every minute of every day till showtime

8 gallons of gas for the round trip and some cruising in Ames (a total of 103.3 miles, which is the number of the radio station that presented the show)

4 hours before showtime when we left the house to get the **** outta dodge and go see this kick *** show

20 seconds after the showtime slated to start that Godsmack took the stage

45 minutes of Godsmack

20 mins of downtime between bands

20 mins till 9pm that Metallica took the stage and rocked my ****in *** so hard my neck still hurts to this day!

1 satisfied Metallica fan:

Seeing that the best ****in band in the world who can work the crowd like none other and keeping them on their feet for two hours and 18 minutes...and that they can still rock the ****in world, even being in their 40s: priceless!

that being said, Metallica are worth every ****in penny, it was the greatest experience I have ever had being at a live concert, it hurt to stand on my feet for that long, but I didnt care, that was a great religious experience...

now that I have said all of that, I leave you to your lives





and say that Metallica kick ****in ***! :smash: :chug:

and for those who want to see em live, they play stuff from every album as much as possible, and its a different list every night, check livemetallica.com for the setlists to get an idea

[QUOTE=guitarfrog]1. yes, dave did get fired around kill em all (i dunno exact time). the two songs he wrote that arent on kill em all are "ride the lightning" and "call of the ktulu" which are on the ride the lightning album. i guess metallica put them on ride the lightning to make him happy, after what happened.

2. kill em all used to have "am i evil" and "blitzkrieg" as bonus tracks on it. they are now on garage days inc like all the other covers they have done.

hope that helped :thumb:[/QUOTE]

dave wrote the fourhorseman (but his was the mechanix), no remorse, and metal militia. he did not write call of ktulu, he did some of leper messiah(just the basic riff). and am i evil and blitzkreig were only released on japanease editions. and whoever said they used daves recordings int he final version of kill em that is completely wrong.

[QUOTE=EternalPain]I hope they do play Sandman, Master, and Evil atleast...[/QUOTE]

they should. they usually play sandman and puppets but im not sure if they still include am i evil.

call of the ktulu WAS written by dave
you can even look in the little booklet in the RTL album

*reads*

8. THE CALL OF KTULU (8:52)
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Mustaine)
Instrumental
Lead Bass by Cliff Burton

also, that one riff in ktulu that dave wrote is also used in megadeths hangar 18 (or is it return to hangar?)

Youre officially the oldest person in this thread

been a metallica fan since i was 6, my uncle let me lisitn to his copy of load lol ive been a fan for 8 years and never seen a concert :sad:

well thats ****in hilarious, because I am only 24

i used to love metallica but there new albu sucks everybody has to admit,i just listen to there old crap and live cd's

the only old albums that sucked are reload and load

[QUOTE=maggot4875]the only old albums that sucked are reload and load[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]new albu sucks everybody has to admit,[/QUOTE]

no and no. i admit i like the new abums. load and reload don't suck.....and this thread is dying...this is page number 296 don't you think that we've already talked about that subject?

[QUOTE=guitarfrog]also, that one riff in ktulu that dave wrote is also used in megadeths hangar 18 (or is it return to hangar?)[/QUOTE]

It was used in the song "When", which if anyone has ever heard it, it's Dave's version of "Am I Evil".

I agree...I like every album...even St. Anger...the old stuff was better...but the new stuff is good too...and I heard that Kirk joined Metallica just in time to record Kill Em' All...or well...mayb I'm forgetting...maybe it was Ride The Lightning...lol it probably was Ride The Lightning because it lists Dave in the Kill Em' All book...it might just be because Dave wrote it but they would list Kirk too...so...well...If the 3-??? dots (....) annoy you...Im sorry...Im just so used to doing as a pause kinda

I like it all I like everything from the first note of hit the lights to the last note of all within my hands .... im glad they do differnt things i think if they hadnt they wouldnt have been able to make more than 2 more more good thrash albums ... i think what they did is what they should have done ... I dunno thats just what i think

[QUOTE=Superpeer]*Applauds RideTheSpiral*

'One' is the song that got me into Metallica.

A friend of mine put the song on in class for some English assignment and everyone was laughing and calling it the neverending song, gah, blasphemy :([/QUOTE]

I used that song for an english assignment as well... O.o

Fade To Black really caught me....I was suicidal 2 years ago...ya that sounds pathetic..a suicidal 11 year old...but i was....and well that song...the guitars...lyrics...the drums...everythinga bout it caught me...and it went on from there (dont worry im not suicidal anymore)

[QUOTE=Armor O'Malley]Chances are they used his compositions because they [B]knew[/B] that his stuff kicked a[i][b][/i][/b]ss.

Fave songs off Garage Inc....Am I Evil, Killing Time, Mercyful Fate and Astronomy.[/QUOTE]
that wasnt daves stuff he says in an interview that it was the bands music not his own

:rolleyes: well...I made the other forum because its a bit more organized and stuff too.....

[QUOTE=a fire inside]master of puppets is indeed the best song ever and its fun to play it on the guitar :D greets a fire inside[/QUOTE]
MOP is a good song but far from the best even by metaallica i'd say ride the lightning or to live is to die

[QUOTE=EternalPain]:rolleyes: well...I made the other forum because its a bit more organized and stuff too.....[/QUOTE]
****it now ur gunna waste more of my energy to get there d a m n you d a m n you :lol:

[QUOTE=ForTheMusic22]I myself was a little disappointed with St. Anger, but after reading a couple interviews from James and Kirk, I at least understand it a little better now. I thought that those that did the mixing and mastering really let the band down, but James explained that they didn't want it to sound like a typical recorded album. Even the horrible snare sound was chosen to try to get a really raw feel out of it. James said that they did the minimum amount of production on it to make it seem more of a garage-band, demo-tape type of thing. And with the solos, Kirk said that he was feeling like they're songs were getting stagnant with how they were organized, and James and Lars finally let him have a little more voice with the entire song instead of just telling him that they wanted a solo at a certain spot, which is what they used to do. So instead of just writing solos like he's done the last two decades (with the exception of a few songs here and there) he wrote second guitar parts that complimented and intertwined with James' parts instead of just playing along with the main rhythm. I'm not sure doing a whole album like that was such a great idea, but who knows, if their next album is spectacular people may look back at St. Anger and praise it for being such a bold risk. Besides, so many people say that they sold out after the black album, or even that the black album was selling out, but what type of band is really a sell-out, one that tries different things and plays what it wants to, or one that plays the same thing all the time just because it's what the fans want to hear?[/QUOTE]
amen ppl cant appreciate what they are doing which is not much but its different and i kinda like st anger its ok compared to other band music like slipknot and all that nu metal crap

Thats how I feel....You can accually understand what there saying...ehh...screaming just kinda...irritates me...Avenged Sevenfold I like though...and From Autumn To Ashes...some I can stand...some I can't

oh and...sorry if its more work...it was more work for me to get here....and I hate how if i save it to my fave. it only goes to that page and i had to go through every page to find this after i screwed up my computer lol...so i thought that was a bit more organized and that it would be nice to start over....

"i dissapear" and "wherever i may roam" are also good songs

[QUOTE=Five Magics]It was used in the song "When", which if anyone has ever heard it, it's Dave's version of "Am I Evil".[/QUOTE]

What the hell are you talking about?
Am I Evil is cover.

[QUOTE]well thats ****in hilarious, because I am only 24[/QUOTE]

nm then...

[QUOTE=Heavy0metal0freak]amen ppl cant appreciate what they are doing which is not much but its different and i kinda like st anger its ok compared to other band music like slipknot and all that nu metal crap[/QUOTE]

If you havent relised nu-metal has kept metal going over the last 10 years, Nu-metal bands may not be as talented as bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica but they deserve credit for keeping metal alive, Metallicas new material from94 onwards was **** and people kept on listening because of the Nu-metal bands, when i say nu-metal bands im talking KoRn and stuff, the only problem with nu-metal is its to easy to write and eventually it gets to to the stage where it all sounds the same.
If Nu-Metal is **** why did Metallica turn that way?

[QUOTE=Heavy0metal0freak]that wasnt daves stuff he says in an interview that it was the bands music not his own[/QUOTE]
exactly, THANK YOU! people keep calling it "Dave's stuff" but they don't seem to notice the two (sometimes three) other names along with his. do you really think that they wouldn't use material that the band created just because he had a hand in it. you don't even know how much he really contributed to the song. they created the songs as metallica so they put them on metallica albums, the fact that he was no longer in the band at the time they released them is a different matter. and actually, kirk had a hand as well in creating many of the solos that you hear on the recorded Kill 'Em All. in the book, "The Art of Kirk Hammett," kirk says that overall "90% of the guitar solos on there were all my (Hammett's) licks." he was told that just to stay consistent with the demo that he should start out the solo the same way dave did but then go from there. yet kirk doesn't even get his name mentioned in the credits of any of the songs on that album. now don't get me wrong, i think dave is awesome and that megadeth is a great band, but i'm kinda sick of hearing about it. when you talk about dave and metallica there's only so much you can say, and i think it's already been said many times. this is a metallica thread, if you want to talk more about dave go to a megadeth thread. let us just say that dave WAS on metallica in their early years, he HELPED write some killer songs for metallica, the band felt that it would be better if he wasn't in metallica anymore, now he writes killer songs for megadeth. good for him, good for megadeth, now back to metallica...

oh, and btw, sorry about my long postings. i swear i'm not normally this long-winded, but there's not much to do being stuck on an air force base in Korea, and talking about music with some other cool people helps me keep my sanity over here. Thanks! :-)

Bump.
