^ For some reason, a lot of die-hard fans don't like "Escape." It was too cheesy for Metallica at the time it came out (at least the chorus was), and it sounded to Maidenesque for their fans I guess. Either way, it's obviously not popular enough for them to put in a setlist.

Do all of Metallica's songs have distortion. I never really payed attention until it was mentioned in a thread.

i always loved that song, and i do aggree that it does have more of an uplifitng Iron Maiden type chorus to it. For the time though it was one of James' better lyrical pieces though.

[QUOTE=Kaden]The only Metallica songs I've ever heard are, in this order:

Enter Sandman
St. Anger

I've been thinking about getting Master of Puppets.[/QUOTE]

I would recommend puppets justice or lightning.They all are sweet.

Start with Puppets! That's what I did, and I think it worked out pretty well.

*bump*

i'm kind of curious if anyone here knows how to get the real and justice for all sound. i mean effects and pedals. i searched for their gear but i can't really find out which one is proper. kirk and james use so many effects. i know that it is almost impossble to sound like them, but maybe someone knows any effects, pedals that could sound close to justice album. ha ?

thanks

What affects would these be ...? Most of the sound on that album is generated from poor recording technique; set your gain up high, medium contour and treble and have a good deal of bass in it. The sound they got was just generated from using low/medium quality recording equipment.

*Is diehard Metallica obsessive*
*Doesn't mind Escape*

Its very...different to their other stuff... Just like Motorbreath for instance. Doesn't mean its bad...

*downloads Escape by Metallica*
*listens to it*
*listens to it again*

i like it.

It doesn't fit with the album though.

Its a like having a pop song on a thrash album. It was a warning of things to come (Black album stuff)

Exactly...



OH ****. I JUST PLAYED DYERS EVE PROPERLY (WITHOUT SOLO)

I am so god...

Part of thier sound to would be thier amp, if your using some 8" 40 watt amp thats not going to get your sound, what do you play through? in accordance to what squirrel h4x said, you would need either a good distortion pedal with a decent amp or a marshall half

:eek:

Congrabulations :p

I learning Battery at the moment. Getting that open string rhythm consistent is difficult :(

Indeed. The:

|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|

Things they do take a long time to get right...

I was wondering if ne 1 knew how to get a perfect sound for the effect used on the bass at the begining of For Whom the Bell Tolls. I have a Boss GT-6b effects pedal, and i have spent a long time trying to get the effect right, but it never seems to sound right. If ne 1 else has this pedal, and has figured out a perfect sounding setting, could you please tell me it. If not then would you be able to tell me what effects are being used.
Thanks

Dunno, they changed alot of stuff when they did and justice... especially the drums and where in the fiery pits of hell is the bass. Poor jason

Burton...

it's 50 on mine

says 50 on mine as well

Yeh, but I'm so hXc that I do 25 posts per page :p

ill say burton, i would like to hear the new bassist with some of the old metallica

in terms of skill, rob has cliff smashed into the ground. listen to any of robs earlier works with past bands, the man is a bass machine. its a shame james wont let him (sounds like the jason scenerio) do anything to further the bands sound, i know he joined after the latest album...but i would put money hetfield tells him what to play and how to play it.

I saw a live video of Rob a while ago. The guy has a certain stage presence :thumb:

From what I could hear the playing was good too.

Rob has had more time to show off some more skill. Thing is, Cliff might have just as good or better, but since he wasnt around with the band for very long, the parts he played were prolly just to go with the song. but, rob prolly was better than cliff though anyway...
