[QUOTE=Disposable_Hero]First metallica song i learnt on guitar was seek and destroy, took me a bit of time to get the solos though!!![/QUOTE]

good song, i was just playing it no more than 2 minutes ago

[QUOTE=DMUSIC]St Anger is on of the worst songs I've ever heard. These guys have been writing the same song over and over for 15 years. If you like crap these are your guys.[/QUOTE]

Oh go cry me a river.
Get off the thread retard!!!!!

[QUOTE=KILO5203]didnt for whom the bell tolls have a solo at the very end? all hes really doing is jacking off the wammy bar, but isnt it still considered a solo?[/QUOTE]
He does in some Live concerts...

[QUOTE=vashts80]Lars got divorced, but he has 2 kids (3? I can't remember)
Kirk is divorced with no kids AFAIK.
James is marries with 1 or 2 kids
I dunno about Rob
Jason was married as well but got divorced, I believe.

Edit: First Metallica song I learned on bass was Whiplash..I can play the entire thing except the solo, I just haven't practiced that as much as the other riffs. I'd like to do Bells, but I don't have a wah-wah (or distortion for that matter)..speaking of which, I've gotta get my dad to go through his garage; he might have some pedals that I could use. 30 year old ones, but still.[/QUOTE]

well i know he has one...i thought it was funny when miles ulrich played drums on SKOM.

The first whole metallica song i learned was Fade to Black. the first riff i knew was Enter Sandman

[QUOTE=Chu]He does in some Live concerts...[/QUOTE]

I wish they had played For Whom the Bell Tolls when i saw them. Towards the end of the concert James was like "what song haven't you heard tonight that you've got to hear?" and i figured oh good, this has gotta be it..then he's like "ya i know what song you wanna hear....SO WHAT!" It got a cheer as you'd expect, but meanwhile i was just standing there thinking to myself "So What??? Are you kidding?" It was disappointing, but at least they made up for it somewhat by playing Dyers Eve :thumb:

First Metallica song i learned to play was Wherever I May Roam.

First one i learned all the way through was seek and destroy.

First one i learned all the way through was seek and destroy, minus the solos.

and when it says reason for editing, you dont really need to put anything in there, unless you want

ok back to metallica. new topic???

which album do yall think has the best solos? i would say AJFA

I got one. Which album of Metallica do you think SHOULD have got through to the top four albums thread?

I think RTL should have. In my opinion, it has the best song (fade to black) and the best songs overall

[QUOTE=KILO5203]which album do yall think has the best solos? i would say AJFA[/QUOTE]
MOP. even tho FTB is my favorite solo, MOP, Sanitarium, Orion, Disposable Heros, TTTSNB and the rest of the songs have amazing solos

I reckon Kill 'em all should have gone through. My favourite album but not many people will agree with me there

I like Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets for solos, I can't decide between the two

[QUOTE=gocaps99]MOP. even tho FTB is my favorite solo, MOP, Sanitarium, Orion, Disposable Heros, TTTSNB and the rest of the songs have amazing solos[/QUOTE]

i dunno about TTTSNB. I love the song, but everytime i listen to the solo it sounds like Kirk tried his best to come up with a solo that fit the song, but then just said f*** it. :lol:

[QUOTE=MXican]I reckon Kill 'em all should have gone through. My favourite album but not many people will agree with me there[/QUOTE]

Pretty much everyone in this thread will agree with you :thumb:

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Pretty much everyone in this thread will agree with you :thumb:[/QUOTE]
most of the people would agree not AJFA, but i wouldn't say most people agree KEA. i don't i said RTL

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Pretty much everyone in this thread will agree with you :thumb:[/QUOTE]
Yey! Other Kill 'em all fans!

kill 'em all was the 4th metallica album i heard (before was black, mop, and rtl) and i still like it the best. most bands release great songs on their albums, then they slowly become not so great... metallica was great until black album, where there were only a few great songs, then re/load.... which was pretty bad, then finally what me and my friends refer to as sh[b]i[/b]t anger.

I like Kill 'Em All too, it's just not there absolute best. That's why I didn't say that's the other one i wanted to go through

I personally think Kill 'Em All is their worst album. Kirk is far from being at the top of his game (this was before he got lessons from...uh, Satriani? [I think]), plus James apparently is still learning how to sing. It's still a good album, but not my favorite.

If Metallica were to have an album win that thing, it should be Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning.

i put one out when i was only a 100 or 200 posts old...it got smashed and flamed

Master of Puppets IMO it's one of the best metal cd's ever

[QUOTE=MXican]I got one. Which album of Metallica do you think SHOULD have got through to the top four albums thread?[/QUOTE]

MOP definately - it is a classic metal album.

I want to know who exactly has been voting for AJFA above
a) all other Metallica albums
b) all other albums in R&M

I'm not even going to vote in that poll...

....and justice for all isn't there best, but I think that album deserves a lot more credit. I mean come on it had One and ajfa, great cd. Anyways, everyones right, metallicas best album was master of puppets.

I voted for ...And Justice for all when/if no other metallica cd was in that poll...im sick of seeing Pink Floyd and Tool all the time so i voted for It

You mean you're sick of seeing those bands as others are of seeing Metallica?

yea pretty much

[QUOTE=munky_magik]You mean you're sick of seeing those bands as others are of seeing Metallica?[/QUOTE]

Oh man am i sick of tool. They win everything.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]Oh man am i sick of tool. They win everything.[/QUOTE]



I voted Metallica myself, maybe some other competitors are great and maybe we are not all fond of the load + but i can still listen to seek and destroy and be amazed to this day... Metallica is a band with so much material i can never get bored! lol, thats my opinion, we are all different remember

[QUOTE=gocaps99]Oh man am i sick of tool. They win everything.[/QUOTE]

Ditto - Until I can get one of their albums and judge differently, I really can't see what the fuss is about.

APC seem much better - better tunes for a start.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]Oh man am i sick of tool. They win everything.[/QUOTE]

What exactly have they won?

[QUOTE=munky_magik]What exactly have they won?[/QUOTE]

they win a lot of polls. they have so many fanboys that they beat out a lot of good albums. (not that metallica doesn't have fanboys) but in the polling a little while ago for the best song didn't tool come in number two. NUMBER TWO?!?!?! how can it be possible that tool came in number two for the BEST song.

and they've beaten out so many good albums in these polls and it just sickens me that all those guys vote for is tool

So you don't like Tool. Deal with it.

And Justice for all... I must say myself i personally do not think it is Metallica's best album musically, i would say as far as instruments go, some of the material on there is very complex and difficult (From a drummers eyes) i also think that it is the complex drum structures that accually destroy the power of this album, just because it is played fast does not mean to say that it is better, just because its hard to play, does not mean it is any better either....
All the same it is still a great album, although i would say Ride the lightning definatly comes above ajfa although i prefer jayme'z vocals on the justice album...
Thats my opinion, what do you guys think???

i think ajfa is their best album.it has classic songs like one,harvester of sorrow(their best song),shortest straw,blackened,dyers eve,to live is to die.although i like cliff over jason and robert.most people dis on ajfa but its a great album.
