if i post anything already said my bad I only read to page 10 sorry couldn't stand reading 300+ pages. so far this is what i think

St. Anger although nothing like Metallica is still good. Reason why the drums sound bad is they were recorded without mices Lars thought it sounded cool(pretty sure its true forgot where i heard it).

Fav. song- if I had to chose would be creeping death but i love anything before Black

Fav. Solo- Ride the Lightning but I still like Anesthesia(Pulling Teath) Rocks

Fav. Video- One love the strobe lights

A little history of how it started:

Lars and James got together and recorded a few songs with james at vocals, bass, and guitar and of coarse lars at drums. after that james got friend Ron McGovney to play bass and Mustaine to play guitar

picked up Burton in the bay area Mustaine fired Hammit picked up from Exodus Metallica was formed

The name was stolen by Lars. While helping his friend find a name for his band his friend suggested Metallica Lars liked it suggested another name for his friend and kept Metallica for himself

And thats all i have to say about that.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Ok, I was reading all the sleeves of my CDs, because I really don't have a life. Anyways, I was looking through the Garage Inc. booklet, and I was suprised at how many of my favourite bands are also listed as influences in Metallica's music.

So, my suggestion is that everyone check out at least one of the bands in the Garage Inc. booklet, and then post back here what you thought of them. This will give us a really good outlook on Metallica's growth and style. If you guys are too lazy to look through the Garage Inc. booklet, I'll post the bands mentioned in it later on today.[/QUOTE]

Well I already like Mercyful Fate. Misfits are awesome also

Wow....don't think i've ever seen worse english....anyway, i'd have to say The Unforgiven mostly because of the lyrics. I really don't think the lyrics in The Unforgiven II are good.

im sick and tired of all these metallica threads. i go on this site at least once a day and i always see a thread regarding metallica..........bottom line, they're done. and for the record they are not all that. you guys act like they are the godfather's of metal. they're sound is so generic. despite all these harsh words, i don't hate them. but i think they are so overrated.

ok so tell em to post in the metallica thread and stop worrying about it

I was talkin to my friend the other day and got in a fight over which is a better song. "One" or "Fade to Black". I pesonly thought Fade to black is a better song but he insisted that "One" was. What do you guys think?

one!!

Fade to Black was a much more personal song, and hence was sung with alot more passion.

I prefer Fade to Black.

I prefer Fade to Black. I think One is over-rated, but still a great song.

i favor fade to black over one

[QUOTE=jaymz_is_god]I prefer Fade to Black. I think One is over-rated.[/QUOTE]
Except I hate One, but it really is overplayed, they should play 2xFade To Black at concerts instead of playing One :thumb:

But everyone here has good reasons.
Fade To Black is a much more personal song (I guess because we can all feel like that sometimes).

Im Goin To Metallica Tonight Aha Yea Baby

One of my favorites, is leper. :smoke: i dont have a def fav tho =[ btw, i had to make an acct just for this forum :D

hey there ppl, new to this forum, but not new to metallica, fan since early 90's, just wanted to say, i'm a bass player, and i can play a lot of there stuff, and i'd like to get involved in a lot more of the "know how" of some songs

if i had to pick favorites from each era of metallica, i'd say:

Kill Em' All: Seek and Destroy and the Four Horsemen
Ride the Lightning: For Whom the Bell Tolls and Creeping Death
Master of Puppets: Battery, Master of Puppets, and Disposable Heroes
...And Justice for All: Harvester of Sorrow, Dyers Eve, and Eye of the Beholder
Metallica: Sad But True, the Unforgiven, Don't Tread on Me, and My Friend of Misery
Load: Until it Sleeps, King Nothing, and Bleeding Me
Re-Load: Carpe Diem Baby, Low Man's Lyric, Fixxxer, and the Memory Remains
Garage Inc.: Astronomy, Whiskey in the Jar, It's Electric, Am i Evil?, So What, Die, Die My Darling
....and though St. Anger is my least favorite, i would have to say: Frantic, Some Kind of Monster(i love playing that on my bass) Invisible Kid, My World, and All Within my Hands....wheww...there it is

St.Anger's got 5 very good songs that can easily become classic no matter what their fans say:

1. St.Anger
2. Frantic
3. Dirty Window
4. Invisible Kid
5. Unnamed Feeling

There's nothing wrong with St. Anger. Sure, compared to some of their previous albums it doesn't seem to measure up to their full potential. But musically it's a fairly good album, it's just different from the Metallica that we've all come to know and love.

Wow, there's a lot of newbs that are metallica fans. :) (By the way, I'm not a newb, I had a previous account that got banned because I was stupid :upset: )

i can say one thing, i've saw metallica twice this past summer, and i know that lar's drums do sound better than they did on the st. anger album, and rob's bass playing gives the newer songs they do play on the tour a very good plus

That's a good question. I really like One because of the way it changes moods, from the calm beginning to the intense ending. I also like it because it shows Metallica's knowledge, since this song was based on the book called Johnny Got His Gun. Although Fade to Black is a much more emotional song. I'll have to say it's a tie because I'm unable to make decisions.

Frantic and St. Anger are horrible songs. Tic tock tic tock tic tock tic tock. ****, enough with the tic tock, whip out a solo Kirk.

Yeah. Unfortunately it just doesn't seems as "rough" as it did before. The St. Anger seemed more organized, or something, it's kind of hard to explain.

for you guitarists....

what metallica songs can you play? and what woyld be some good 'tallica songs for me to learn

[QUOTE=s0ldsoul4roknrol]Frantic and St. Anger are horrible songs. Tic tock tic tock tic tock tic tock. ****, enough with the tic tock, whip out a solo Kirk.[/QUOTE]

:lol: I must admit that the lyrics in many of these songs were pretty lame. Like "This house is clean baby, this house is clean" as well as the whole Tic Tock thing.

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]for you guitarists....

One, Fade to Black, Enter Sandman, Blackened, Nothing else matters, Sad But True. That should keep you busy for now.

i can play guitar as well as bass, not as good as bass, but i can do pretty good rhythm, and the songs i know are Seek and Destroy, the Four Horsemen, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, Master of Puppets, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), One, Harvester of Sorrow, Eye of the Beholder, Enter Sandman, Unforgiven, Fuel, No Leaf Clover...i think thats all i know on Rhythm
