[QUOTE=Iabn]My favorite guitar solo by metallica (of all time that is) is the first guitar solo in The 4 horsemen. It's perfect, it's starts of a little slow then it picks up speed, then it drops kicks u in the nuts and slowly walks away. Complete awesomeness, sometimes i wish I played guitar instead of bass just to play them. I enjoy playin Orion and My friend of Misery, good bass parts.[/QUOTE]


well if you would like to play guitar then you should...oh...I don't know...buy one. it's real fun. :smoke:

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]Metallica are finished. Kill em all they were one of the best new bands around. It was the start of a new genre, Thrash/Speed Metal. Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets are some of the best metal albums of all time, if not in any genre. After the black album they were the biggest hting in rock/metal. *STOP EVERYTHING*. in 1992 metallica are on the road to being one of the best bands of all time. After load/reload, metallica are continuing this line. Experimentation is always good. Metallica STILL are on the road to being one of the best bands of all time.

At this point everything goes wrong for them. Their bassist quits. james is in rehab. They release two safe bet albums, S&M and garage inc (the cover one). Then they try to return to their former glory. They promised an album as good as the 80's ones. If they had pulled it off, they would have been hands down one of the best bands of all time. BUT instead they scrap the solos and make a mistake with production (that crappy snare).

They may still redeem themselves though. A few more excellent albums may make up for St. Anger.[/QUOTE]
u must be a very onesided music listener. because 1 yes st. anger was easily the worst album put out by metallica BUT it does appeal to some ppl. not me in particular but to many who like really thick crunchy sounds and just like to make a c**pload of noise my freind. ALSO "freind" if u did follow metallica then u would know that after teh release of re-load kirk james and lars all said they were tired of showing off and just wanted to play the stuff they loved. metallica doesnt want to appeal to fans it really just wants to appeal to itself if you didnt know that. if metallica had 0% fan support then they would most likely be playing still. metallica is a lifestyle either know about it or shut ur mouth. thank you have a nice day :D

[QUOTE=Bulldogabel]well if you would like to play guitar then you should...oh...I don't know...buy one. it's real fun. :smoke:[/QUOTE]
nicely put, this guy doesnt lie playing the guitar is fun and worthwhile. but lol theres been more guitar players lately and less people on the bass and drums so how are bands gonna get started?!?!

GO BUY A GUITAR FOO!!!!!!

who else thinks dyer's eve is the fastest, heaviest, and craziest song written by metallica? (i love this song more than life itself)

[QUOTE=Bulldogabel]The only prob. that I see with them now, is the haircuts.
James, dosen't look like James at all
Lars, looks like he's about to croak

Other then that, Kirk, and Rob are still keepn it real.
METALLICA just isn't METALLICA without the hair.
But still... never mind.[/QUOTE]
you have a point about them not looking like they used to.....but if u seen em live youd know that it still sounds like metallica :D especially when the dust off master of puppets and one....REALLY COOL

iuno if its the fastest....its pretty fast. craziest i dont think so. check out the stuff on kill em all. liek hit the lights, the four horsemen, and jump in the fire

The thing that i hate about the album Saint Anger is one the song Saint Anger repeats alot and in the whole album it sounded like lars was to lazy to tune his snare drum and the sound it makes is complete crap

o i have, but dyers eve has that solo that sounds like kirk hammett, but sped up, and the bass drum is faster than any i've ever heard. best lyrics 2 IMO

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?

So it may have been a nice risky move to do that for half an album, or even 3/4ths of it, but the WHOLE thing? EVERY song? That's just snuffing the fans. St Anger is a royal piece of trash.

It's not too bad. It has like 4 good songs.

They're hardly gonna do an album half of which sounds like St Anger material and the other half which sounds like Kill Em All material. :rolleyes:

i personally didn't like it much but there were some good songs on it.

Suppose St.Anger did have solos, would it still suck?.....I think even if there were solos on the album that it would still be pretty bad because: songs are too redundant even with a solo, Vocals are hurt'n, production, and Lars. However, it would be tough to judge that because sometimes a bad song is made up by its solo. What do you think?

It's crazy by their standards but in the grand scheme of things its wussy as hell.

Metallica were and still are gr8

but for me they don't classify as a song writing band

on every album theres at least 3 classics i find with metallica, but they've never really tryed to change (which is cool) (unless st.anger is there idea of changing)

but they've basically re-copied riffs every now and then and chuck old songs together to make new ones.

I mean when i buy a new metallica album, i know theres gonna' be songs i like, but i also know that it's not going to be anything new/special

But metallica stay close to my heart, without them there wouldn't be alot of bands around today

I think some solos would make it more varied and more interesting to listen to.

I must have missed all this .. examples .. ?

I haven't heard, And...Justice for all, is it good???

METAL UP YOUR ***!!!!!! METALLICA KICKS ***!!!!!!!!

A couple of my favorite, yet underrated songs are No Remorse and Holier Than Thou. My other favorites have already been mentioned.

[QUOTE=TheNewAgeRocker]I haven't heard, And...Justice for all, is it good???[/QUOTE]

Yes it is, buy it.

[QUOTE=TheNewAgeRocker]I haven't heard, And...Justice for all, is it good???[/QUOTE]

Good is an understatement. It's one of 'Tallica's best cd's, if not their ultimate best. My favorite songs on that one are track 9 - dyers eve and track 7 - the frayed ends of sanity.

It's my favourite 'tallica album, shame about the production.............

one was a sweet song...

everyone thinks that it was a sweet song...

BECAUSE IT IS. \m/

AJFA rules!
its the album that really got me into metallica
i found it in my brothers tapes about a year ago and i listened to it a million times and i still cant get enough of it :D
