[QUOTE=williwakeupdead]Metallicas guitar solos are easy, especially all of the One solos. It's just a bunch of fazzle dazzle. Its just catchy .[/QUOTE]
Mind posting the last "One" solo, prove to us how easy you find it.

Does anyone know why Lars can't play Dyers Eve live. Like if he can play it in the studio, why is it that he can't play it live. Is it cus of that injury he had when they were making the black album?

They can make you play anything in the studio...

The Nothing solo is done by James in the studio and live. Watch live footage of them closely. You'll see Kirk is just playing chords, and James is doing the solo on (distorted) acoustic. The reason they probably don't do Dyer's Eve live is just in the interest of preserving themselves (especially Lars, as this is one of Metallica's hardest drum songs to play) for the rest of the show. It's all well and good to bust out Dyer's in a show, but then if you're too knackered to play anything else fast, it kinda ruins it.

Aside from that I'd just like to say that if any Metallica song has been over-exposed, it's Sandman (with One a close second), and that may be a reason why some people forget just how ROCKIN a song it is, simply because they've heard it too many times. (I admit, I find myself skippin over it on the Live DVD's sometimes....) Admit it though, those who have seen Metallica live (I personally saw them at the Big Day Out in Perth, Australia last Sunday, life changing experience, purely phenomenal) can testify to the amazing atmosphere Sandman has, and you cannot help but headbang till your head FALLS OFF whenever that famous riff hits.....

I have a question that i been wondering alot about....Who or what the hell is Ktulu...This has kept me up alot of nights...I must admit I like the title, but what does it mean??? :confused:

It's based on a short story, the same short story, "The Thing That Should Not Be," was based on. I can't recall which however.

The actual spelling of "Ktulu" is "Cthulu."

[QUOTE]Hetfield plays the "Nothing Else Matters" solo[/QUOTE]

I heard he plays the solo in Master of Puppets as well.

I am fairly sure the book is named "Of Things Not Seen".

[QUOTE=Joeeddstealschickens]I heard he plays the solo in Master of Puppets as well.[/QUOTE]

Hetfield and Hamment play the interlude, or some people call it the first solo. (but it is so easy). Hamment plays the better solo, or the last solo.

Hammet (not Hamment) indeed plays the harder and faster solo, but it's not better, Hetfield's solo is so much better.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Hammet (not Hamment) indeed plays the harder and faster solo, but it's not better, Hetfield's solo is so much better.[/QUOTE]

Nah, his solo isn't better. Mainly because it is so easy. It was the first solo, besides Teen Spirit solo, that I ever learned.

[QUOTE=NailHead]well, you learn something new everyday. i didn't know that he played that solo cause i thought he was doing the acoustic guitar part, huh?[/QUOTE]
Watch S&M. Also, if you use distortion, it's not hard to play it on an acoustic guitar.

EDIT: to guitarded chuck

I know it's easy, but it's not because it's not complex, that it can't sound well. complexity does not necessarily make a good solo.
I like it better, In my humble opinion. :)

Complexity can really become signature to a band though. Metallica's St. Anger sucked because it was far too simple. Compare it to the Black Album, And Justice For All, and Master of Puppets, and try to tell me St. Anger was good. You'd have to be pretty ****ing stupid, or pretty ****ing tone deaf to say it.

yo people what did you think when metallica released there cover album. i loved it personally but some people say its against some metal rules or something, what do u people think??????

I personally like Garage Inc. The Misfits covers are awesome, along with Am I Evil? and Whiskey in the Jar. And I don't see why people don't like bands doing covers. They are just showing appreciation for other bands.

hey guys, just wanted to know, is the second acoutic guitar in the intro to To Live is to Die identical to the first and if not, could someone give me a good tab/guitar pro/powertab file of it?
thx

So if i tell you that i like it and that i think it's a good cd then you're calling me stupid and tone deaf? whatever man. It's sad that the majority of people who don't like st. anger only dislike it because it was released by Metallica. If it was released by a newer band then people couldn't compare it to other cds from that band and say it sux compared to their older ones.

On another note- If you read the "Bands whos last albums sucked" thread you'll see that obviously Metallica isn't the only band that has released a dissapointing cd lately. It's just that everyone was expecting so much more out of Metallica because they have so much talent that they're not putting to use. I guess if it makes you feel better to call me ****ing stupid or ****ing tone deaf then go ahead, i'm not holding you back.

To whoever asked what a Ktulu is, I don't know but it came from the same book that James read called Dagon that gave him the idea for The Thing That Should Not Be. It is about people who are sailing on the Mediterranian and something unexpected happens.

Okay okay that's enough idle speculation as to what the "The Call of the Ktulu" and "The Thing That Should Not Be" is about. I am now going to tell you, and unlike some others I've actually researched this.

The inspiration [for "The Thing That Should Not BE"]:
The song is based upon the short story "Shadow Over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft which has been written in 1936. "Shadow Over Innsmouth" was Lovecraft's sole story which has been released as a book when he was alive. His further short stories only appeared in his lifetime in a magazine called "Weird Tales".

The Cthulu (or the, "Ktulu," as Metallica called it) is a creature from the same story "The Thing That Should Not Be" is based on.

St. Anger sucked because there was a bunch of hype how there going back to there roots, and when you hear that you think oh better solos and riffs like Justice or Master OP, and then they release a piece of crap with no EQ and Trash can sounding drums with 0 solos, its a huge let down. If any other band released that CD would still suck, just like most bands today.

That was a pretty cool article raijo. do you got a link for that site?

or i guess ill type it in

yea, thats why, no ****, it's actually why. their roots lay in hardcore thrash, the next one better be better than St. Anger or I'm gonna give up on 'em

if their next album sucks, dont give up on them because there new stuff sucks. Chances are they arent going to make 6 or 7 more cd's, id say at the most they'd make 2 more cd's although i hope they make more bc im a huge metallica fan. Master of Puppets and AJFA are 2 of the best albums i've ever heard.

and by the wayw, im going to a metallica concet in omaha may 12 :naughty:

Any ideas where I can download Metallica's Smoke on the Water Live cover? I downloaded the intro in WinMX but the queue is just too long now, the intro is really **** cool. I can't find it on LimeWire, I'm not using Kazaa...
