How come I keep hearing Tool wins everything?? Since when have they been that good. Not that I keep up with music, but last time I heard them, they just seemed ok.

Now while you have that thought in your head about Tool, you have to imagine that there are people that think the same of Metallica.

[QUOTE=AimlessDave]Fanboys seem to like Metallica and only Metallica. They won't listen to anything else, because it isn't Metallica.
Hardcore fans just love Metallica, but are less closed-minded than fanboys, I think.[/QUOTE]

Fanboys won't listen to anything but their favorite band. They're close minded, and never even considered that their band might have a flaw.

I used to listen to Metallica non-stop, but I would never have considered myself a fanboy. I realized there were flaws, even though it was my favorite band at the time. Now I listen to Metallica much less than other stuff, because I kind of wore it out. I know a lot about them now though.

ya, scary part for me is that songs like MOP, Call of Ktulu, Dyers Eve are wearing out on me

I over-listened to Metallica. To be honest, I haven't listened to a full album (just random songs) for a long time. The brilliance kind of wore off when I heard some of the songs for over the hundredth time. I used to listen to them on the way to school every morning, when I got home, and before I went to bed. If you listen to anything too much, it gets old.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]That's understandable if you don't like Floyd (I don't), or Tool.[/QUOTE]


yea i guess so, cuz i have only heard a few pink floyd songs and i dont like the singer,i never even heard any tool songs

Pink Floyd makes me mad.

[QUOTE=metal_milita]Pink Floyd makes me mad.[/QUOTE]

Why's that? I think Pink Floyd are great. To each his own though.

Thats why its so annoying, I have no reason to hate Pink Floyd because I have yet to listen to them properly. I just have this wierd hate for them and their soft style of music.

Hey guys I know I'm not part of the discusion right now but yesterday I talked to you guys. I'm learning the ride the lighting solo and it's for the most part good but when I look ahead this tab seems weird to me. Can anyone who knows the solo please copy and paste this into the url and tell me if this tab is correct.

You should give them a thourough listen. To get the full experience of Pink Floyd you need to listen to the full album. Just give them a try, with an open mind, and I bet you'll change your mind. If you don't, that's cool though, because like I said, to each his own.

I have the RTL book, but it's not with me right now. I can look for you tomorow though. I'll take a look at it anyway though.

edit: From just glancing at it, it looks allright. It looks a little distorted, so if there's another version maybe try that. You know its usually not a good tab if they leave lines out to save time. That is a sign of lots of laziness, and probably means that the tab isn't great.

I used to listen to Metallica non stop as well, for about a period of a month. But then, I opened up to other bands, (such as Iron Miaden, Tool etc) and now I don't listen to Metallica as much because I am listening to other bands also. I think this makes me enjoy Metallica songs more because I am not wearing the songs out.

Thank you.

MetallicA, just get Guitar Pro4. Its an interactive tab machine where you can download any Metallica tab and hear it, edit it and judge it yourself. songs can be downloaded from mysongbook.com, the program u get from guitarpro4.com or kazaa

If you don't want to pay money (or get it illegally), get powertab

[QUOTE=MetallicA]Thank you.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, check out the edit on the post.

I agree, get Guitar Pro. Then you can judge for yourself if it sounds right.

Download it off of a P2P program, like Kazaa.
