I don't know what your talking about, are you talking about Kill Em All or some of the RTL songs? or are you meaning Hetfield writing stuff for Kirk? Kirk writes his own solos

I mean the solo on Call of Ktulu. Mustaine co wrote that song. I'm not sure If Kirk played Mustaine's solo or if he wrote his own.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]nooooo he's written every solo except ride the lightning, ktulu, and all of kill em all. he's only written one whole song, and that's sandman[/QUOTE]

Mustaine didnt write all of the leads for Kill Em All...

He did write the one for RTL and he wrote the 3rd clean riff at the beginning of Ktulu (also heard in Hangar 18 by Megadeth). I think he wrote the solo for that too... thats the only thing im not sure on.

Cliffs solo is considered a solo... i mean the other instruments are playing during a guitar solo arent they...? :rolleyes:

And the 3rd guitar solo in Orion is actually a bass solo (with the two harmonizing lines) and the last solo was written by James

Kirk didnt play or record anything for Nothing Else Matters but he did write the main riff for Enter Sandman

yea it is a solo

and where do you ppl find out all this stuff? i've learned it mostly over the last few months here at the forums

From people like me? :lol:

Various people, websites and books. Plus the section called 'Whiplash' in the Metallica fan club magazine provides alot of info. :thumb:

well no this is actually the first time i've seen you here in R&M. i've learned from a lot of people in these threads

I'm not in the club...i hear their are some great gift's and stuff. maybe i'll join the next year their on tour and get early tix

anyone know of a new metallica cd? cause i sure hope its better than St Anger (not trying to offend anyone that likes St Anger, its just im more of the old metallica type)

Man, solo is the very last thing to write in a certain song. It's that way 99% times. If Dave wrote solo for Ktulu that means that the song was ready before Kirk joined them. But they never performed it with Dave in 1983, did they???

For the first time Ktulu was played already with Kirk. It took place in Las Cruces, NM, New-Mexico University on 08/28/1983. :thumb:

you've got a point. the solo is more often than not the last thing ever written in a song...

Metallicas changed alot over the years but atleast they kept the same style, theve gone through I think 3 bassist (correct me if Im wrong) ...

Who would you guys say is their best bassist?

My personal oppinion would be Jason :thumb:

^ *waits for Cliff fans to arrive*

^^ actually, they had 4 bassists. The first guy was Ron Welty, 1982-83 :thumb:

you know ron! nobody knows ron

who was the chick that was with them for awhile?

I don't know any chick who was with them. Maybe you're talking about Marianne Faithful??? They recorded only one song with them

i just remeber seeing this wierd live video and they're playin with a chick as the bass.

but then again it could have been rob from behind but im about 99% sure that it was a chick

Acutally Jason is my least favourite for sum reason. At first I felt rob felt like just a session guy. But when he's played for Ozzy and BLS (wow zakk) and others i can't be bothered to mention u gotta love him. And of course (i hope)everyone loves cliff

Yes! This Christmas is awesome! My radio station is playing 24 hours of Metallica today with no commericials! HELL YES!

I personally like Rob, when I saw them in concert I could tell a big diiference. Plus he's an awesome bassist. He was doing some crazy solos and stuff on the bass between songs.

Maybe one of the fans got to play with them as a fan club thing.. or it was rob. But no fulltime female basist

thanks god**** clear channel my old rock station is now a latin rap station. so i get no metallica ever!!!!!!

[QUOTE=kirk_wylde]Maybe one of the fans got to play with them as a fan club thing.. or it was rob. But no fulltime female basist[/QUOTE]


o it might have been that

NO, Marianne is chick who sang on The Memory Remans. (worst tallica 'song)

heh yea memory remains is not a shing example of james's singing

[QUOTE=btoto]NO, Marianne is chick who sang on The Memory Remans. (worst tallica 'song)[/QUOTE]

yeah he was on about sum random live video, with (who he thinks is) a woman on bass.. dunno

Dosen't really matter though

I think cliff was the best bassist, jason was a terrible bass player, he didn't play any of the good stuff like Kill em All or Master of Puppets, that was some good bass playing. Metallica firs did the insanely good stuff thats hard for people to cover, but then they did black album which is easy for the average schmo to play and thats with jason

yea jason was just ok but thats why we have rob now

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]yea jason was just ok but thats why we have rob now[/QUOTE]

well jason didn't like bein with metallica any more. but your right, now they have rob and rob is probably the most skilled out of cliff (rip), jason, and himself. even tho cliff was [I]the [/I] metallica bassist, he wasn't as skilled as rob is

[QUOTE=btoto]NO, Marianne is chick who sang on The Memory Remans. (worst tallica 'song)[/QUOTE]
Honestly, I like The Memory Remains, and the rest of Reload. But it definitely doesnt compare to Master of Puppets or Kill em All.

rob kinda freaks me out...lose the pig tails...but metallica is back and nothing else matters

Yeah, atleast they're back to their heavy days. Unlike Load and Reload.

[QUOTE=Rasta Rockerstat3]rob kinda freaks me out...lose the pig tails...but metallica is back and nothing else matters[/QUOTE]

he's so awesome. he's a pretty weird guy

i just got Live Sh*t Binge & Purge, and you all were right, it kicks as[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=gocaps99]i just got Live Sh*t Binge & Purge, and you all were right, it kicks as[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
I've seen a bit of that. It's excellent.

rob man i got the 2005 metallica tour calender and he is a ugly mother ****er

a talented mother ****er

[QUOTE=gocaps99]i just got Live Sh*t Binge & Purge, and you all were right, it kicks as[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

told you :naughty:

Rob looks like a drunken Indian Ninja that now plays bass for Metallica

[QUOTE=metallicamaniac16]Honestly, I like The Memory Remains, and the rest of Reload. But it definitely doesnt compare to Master of Puppets or Kill em All.[/QUOTE]

I love both Load and Reload. But Marianne's voice in that song makes me commit suicide :D

in the lyrics of the song Fade to Black, at the bridge part i tought i heard james say "French-fries" :confuse:

hey guys
i have been tryin to post for ages but my username neva worked but as a newbie on dis thread i betta tell u sum stuff bout me. my fav song are (not in order) MOP, Sanitarium, Bells, Justice 4 all, one(JUS MADDEST SONG) Roam, RTL.
I personally LOVED S&M though many people bagged it but i loved it but not as much as LIVE SH!T Binge N Purge which rocks
St.Anger was fair to em some songs were good some were bad but all over a orrite album. i SERIOSULY hope they do a new album n go back to their old stuff.

K,I have a question,during Metallica: Cunning Stunts,while they're doing Enter Sandman and that crazy fan is all over the place hanging from the roof and all the equipment goes off and the pyro techs are going everywhere and ****. Is that real?

it probably is real, but they set up all their stunts and have them end up in a certain way. so it's probably staged
