i'm pretty sure for the sake of their own safety they'll include solos on the next album

LMAO! it's so funny, because I read the first page, and it seemed like everyone was STRUGGLING to keep this alive...now look at it, 280 pages...good lord...

well occasionally it will reach the third page ;)

Former BROKEN HOPE and current LUPARA guitarist Jeremy Wagner sent us the following report from yesterday's Ozzfest stop in Tinley Park, IL:

"I went to the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, IL yesterday and thought you might be interested to know that Kirk Hammett was in attendance. I heard he had shown up (METALLICA are doing two sold-out shows in Chicago on Aug. 27 and Aug. 28). So I went back and found him in a VIP booth overlooking stage — left of the mainstage. He was hanging with a mutual friend of mine so I made some small talk with him.

"Kirk was totally pumped to see DIMMU BORGIR, but was kind of pissed because the sound from inside the VIP booth over the side of the stage sucked, and all we could hear were keyboards. When DIMMU exited the stage, singer Shagrath walked beneath the VIP booth, and Kirk commented, 'This guy means business… I mean, look at that ****ing cross [on the singer's chest]!'

"After DIMMU, Kirk decided the sound sucked up in the VIP booth and wanted to get closer to the action, so we all went down to stand on stage left next to Kerry King's rig to watch SLAYER. Kirk commented that he had not seen a full SLAYER show in ages and was stoked about it. During SLAYER's set, Kirk was constantly nodding his head and applauding. Robert Trujillo showed up, too, as SLAYER performed. After SLAYER, Kirk went backstage to hang and then came out to watch full sets of JUDAS PRIEST and BLACK SABBATH.

"Anyway, that's about it. Kirk was way cool and seems to be down with all things metal."

Kerry King once called Kirk Hammet the most overrated guitar in history. I'm pretty sure it was in Kerrang! magazine.

Hence a bit of Slayer/Metallica feud. I wonder if that has worn off with time.

Thats awesome....never heard anything by Dimmu though....YET!... so well...a couple weeks ago my mom drove me 2 hours to go see Some Kind Of Monster....i thought it was awesome but well Kirk was like this is BULL**** its like were following a ****ing trend because no one else is doing solos and they said something like you can try a few but he couldn't get them to fit or somethin...and that was pretty much all that was said if i remember correctly

yo ludacris is droppin a beat by the offical metallica thread :cool:

I love how Metallica is (go with me here) a metal band and....wel not the heaviest of course....there stuff a HELL of a lot heavier...but the most sucessful...and well they have the pride to do ballety stuff such as Fade To Black, Nothing Else Matters, and Hero Of The Day and I respect them twice as much for it

I hate Ludacris....i hate all rap

Thanks for sharing.

Is "ballety" even a word .. ?

I think he meant "ballady".

Even still, I don't think its a word. :lol:

:lol: people these days.

:thumb: Devils Dance, For Whom The Bell Tolls. Just to name a couple. :thumb:

... thanks, but we weren't playing the "randomly name some songs by Metallica" game, im afraid.

That game is always going on in this thread. At least half of every page is just people naming off their favorite songs.

Very true; also people keep quoting that guy asking for some more songs by Metallica .. even though we never saw him after that post.

Maybe hes listening to the songs?

Even though it was months back :p

Maybe he likes them....alot

:lol:

Hey who are we to judge?

i think bob rock is responsible for the decline of metallica.... he came in at the Black Album and so far in this thread everytime we get to the subject of St. Anger it always says that metallica went downhill after the Black Album.... any coincidences there? and i heard it was bob rock'sa idea to take all the solos outta St. Anger

and rap is crap.....

I think that people should stop using Bob Rock as a scapegoat. You know, theres four guys in Metallica and one Bob Rock, and Bob Rock works for them...

And rap is great.

Well still i'm just saying things that i heard..... and i thought it was a coincidence that he started on the black album and then metallica went down...... and tru there r four guys but during st. anger there were only 3 and since bob rock did the bass parts im sure he had enough creative control but i dont know thats my opinion and im probably wrong too so whatever...

There are two ways to view the situation (in my opinion)

1) Bob Rock has no creative control, and any fault with the music lies with the band
2) Bob Rock has all the creative control, and the band are bunch of p'ussies for letting one guy completely 0wn them, however they are not responsible for their shyte music.

no...

If you've ever seen the black album DVD you'll see that everything in Metallica that changed for the black album onwards was due to James, Kirk, Jason and Lars choices - Bob only pushed them to their limits and helped them acheive what they wanted in their ideas.
