Hey all, I need an opinion on this, On Friday i am going to our local Cemitary and i wan't to put a little marker or something in memory of Cliff Burton (For all of you who dont know him, Metallica's former bassist who died when the bands tour bus crashed resulting in Cliffs Death!)
I was thinking about a little poem laminated, with a picture of the band, and maybe a few deep red roses, and a plectrum i have played one of cliffs solos with... Can anyone else offer any more respectfull ideas??

Put the To live is to die lyrics in there somewhere.

Cliff was cremated and his ashes spread around San Fran, which kinda sucks because if he was buried you could go to the cemetary maybe and put them at his real gravestone........

But I think the strange thing about it is this:
They were drawing straws to see who got whose bunk. Cliff got Kirk's bunk and drew the ACE OF SPADES.......had be been in another bunk Cliff would have survived. Also, the fact that the bus 'skidded on black ice' even though no ice was ever found is a bit strange.........

Maybe if they hadn't swapped bunks it would have been Kirk who would be killed. So, Cliff saved Kirk's *** in a way, I guess.......

Put some LSD somewhere in the little shrine. Can't remember Cliff without remembering his love for LSD!

If u have Cliff em all, put the case there too.

It was 60,000+ posts long, which meant it took longer to load. It was also too big for the search function to handle. This is why we have a new, elephant fresh community thread.

Ever since I saw that Elephant Fresh thing here, I've been using that term a lot. Bitchin' term.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]How come?

Obvious quote of the day. :lol:

wow what they do to the thread?

What?

its all changed up

or is it just me?

Thats just you dude.

yea jack what are you talking about?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times. But just to clear up something between me and my friend, what tunings does metallica use? I always thought it was D standard for most of their old stuff, and then Eb on Load.
I'm sure someone knows this better than I do. :upset:

They used Standard E from Kill 'Em All to Justice. I think 'Metallica' perhaps had a few songs with different tunings, then after that, I'm not too sure about. I think most of St. Anger was in CGCFAD, but I can't be too sure.

they use drop d on st.anger dont they?

They use standard tuning for KEA RTL MOP and AJFA except for the thing that should not be, that is dropped D tuning.

I think load/reload were Eb

wOOt wOOt i got 4th most posts in here now,finally passed up burdcheese :thumb:

Drop D Tuning down 1 step, which is CGCFAD.

Edit: About St. Anger tuning.

[QUOTE=FlyingPaul_83]

they are

Thanks guys. Yeah I was pretty sure load/reload was Eb, but I was never sure about the older stuff. For some reason I thought it was all in DGCFAD. Battery kind of sounds like it but I don't know.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Obvious quote of the day. :lol:[/QUOTE]


Do i get an award?

all the songs on St. Anger are drop C which the songs are ok but they're not like the old stuff load/reload stuff. it sounds like they r trying to song more like the younger metal bands. i did like some of the one whole step down tuning on songs off of Garage Inc. like Whiskey in the Jar. i think it would have sounded wierd any other way.

I think that one of the reasons the tuning has gone down is that James cant sing like he used to, his voice has gotten deeper, so he cant reach the high notes that he could when he was 20 odd, their old stuff is now in Eb, as they play it live, the s&m dvd gives some indication, and probably its also ease of tuning for everyone, i hate trying to go from standard to Eb for two different songs if i want the same tone from one guitar

i've noticed that not many other people like Load and Reload, and I can't see why. They're both great albums, but are very different styles from Metallica's earlier stuff, which doesn't automatically mean that they suck.

[QUOTE=vashts80]I've been into the Outlaw Torn a lot lately..both the S&M and Load versions are awesome, I like it better on S&M though because the solo sounds better and it's a more natural Hetfield (on Load, the vocals sound forced IMO)[/QUOTE]


Hetfield also blew his voice out on the black album soo..

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]That and he does solos as well. Master of puppets, nothing else matters, etc...[/QUOTE]


and the second solo in To Live is to Die
