Not yet.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]What is your avatar?[/QUOTE]
It changes all the time, but currently it is a random thing that I cleverly made in paint...

As for tunings:
Kill, Ride, Puppets, Justice, Black were in standard tuning and the Ramones covers on the St. Anger singles were too (and "Electric Remote", a very rare song which I didn't even know existed and I'm still not sure of it's existance)
Load, Reload, Garage (I don't own), S&M were in Eb
St. Anger in Drop C.
There are however a few exceptions...."The Thing That Should Not Be" is in Drop D, as is "Devil's Dance". "Sad But True" and "Whiskey In The Jar" was in FULL D, "The God That Failed" was in Eb, "Bad Seed" and "Dirty Window" are in Drop C#.
Invisible Kid actually uses two different tunings for both guitars (James uses Drop G#, which is now how they play it live), and Kirk uses a weird tuning....
low to high D# G# D# F# A# D# with a DigiTech Whammy Pedal to hit the low notes.
Live tunings: All songs which are in standard are now played in Eb, as well as the other Eb songs. Seek And Destroy however is now played in Full D, and TTTSNB is played in Drop C#. I think Devil's Dance is too.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by [B]i was promised lies[/B]
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[/QUOTE]

This is true.

Well, I hope that cleared up any doubt about Metallica guitar tunings...:thumb:

And Creeping_deth, why do you hate gothikid13?

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]The guitar used in the 'One' video was I believe the KH-2, and the film was called 'Johnny Got His Gun'.[/QUOTE]

Hey thanks, im gonna have a look for that on amazon, maybe have a look for cliff 'em all while im at it :thumb:

has anyone noticed that the riff from Exodus' "Hell's Breath" is the same as "Trapped Under Ice"?

Do they play the songs in Eb now because James cant sing that high anymore?

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Do they play the songs in Eb now because James cant sing that high anymore?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, they do. Also I think they like the sound.

I just saw "Some kind of Monster" and I thought it was cool. I know it took me a while but alas, I am a cheap bastard. It was pretty cool getting to see how they worked and what it was like (sorry for the cliche) behind the scenes. How do you guys think the band would be now if Newsted was still in? I like em now, always have always will. But I wonder what it would be like if they had put all the crap away, gone through it with Jason and still come out getting rid of all the troubles they had. Rob is the man as far as I'm concerned but it would have been sweet if they had stayed together.

Yeah, Metallica is awesome. Im learning some of their old stuff on drums.

-Disposable Heroes
-One
-The Frayed Ends of Sanity
-To Live is To Die

I'm learning pieces of those right now. They're all really fun. Lars is the best.

I've heard about that before, but I haven't heard that Exodus song.

Well, St. Anger wouldn't have appeared, that's for sure. I don't know, I have a feeling they might have either broken up, or made a ReReLoad

I didn't know you were in the Metallica Club.....maybe if I join I won't have to keep bugging everyone for a key code.

Is it free to join?

Im here to creat a new winning toward the endless battle of metal! :lol:

I was at school today and I have a metallica patch on my jacket...so this girl comes up to me and is like "metallica sucks" or something like that. And I notice this girl is carrying around a notebook with maralyn manson on the fron and I say: "maralyn manson is nothing but a show, hes not even a musical artist and your telling me metallica sucks? Manson belongs in the circus." and she gets all mad and says: "well all metallica does is scream" and Im like alright you wanna hear a song were they dont scream? And I play fade to black and everyone who hears it loves it and she feels like the bit[B][/B] ch she is.

I won a battle for the metal world! Metal malita join arms and FIGHT!!

yeah I didnt know if you guys really cared :upset: but I decided to post it anyway ;)

yea metallica can win a lotta fights

Yeah i get sh[SIZE=2]it[/SIZE] literally every day for liking metallica. There are only like 3 people in my grade that like them. :rolleyes:

I get the same stuff but worse. Of course i get the ever so popular "all they do is scream", which i just respond with "you are an ignorant fool, never talk about music again". I also get the even worse "Metallica cant even play there instruments good" this i just turn away, dont even respond to.

And i always play fade to black for people that talk s[SIZE=2]hit[/SIZE] because it breaks all metal stereotypes.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]I didn't know you were in the Metallica Club.....maybe if I join I won't have to keep bugging everyone for a key code.

No its not free, i paid $50 for the year, there are a bunch of different deals you can get, i got the highest one up.

With the thing i got you get, a shirt, so what! magazines(i forget how many), and stuff from the band with autographs. You also get acces to the club shop which has all these shirts for like $8 its amazing.

Metal is vastly stereotyped as just screaming around here. I don't give them Fade To Black though, I normally show them Power Metal or something.

But yeah, I get a little tired of people I don't even know just walking up to me going "Meeeetaaaaaaaaaalllliiiiiiiiiiiiiicaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" in a screaming voice acting like there cool. I hate those people. A lot.

LIL JON SAMPLED RAINING BLOOD??!?!

I'll post it in the Slayer thread so it stays out of the 'tallica thread.

Would you class is it disrespectfull to wear a band shirt to a gig.... Not just a band shirt, I mean like a SOAD hoody to a Metallica concert??? Or a Metallica shirt to a Pantera concert???

[QUOTE=LarsAgi007]Would you class is it disrespectfull to wear a band shirt to a gig.... Not just a band shirt, I mean like a SOAD hoody to a Metallica concert??? Or a Metallica shirt to a Pantera concert???[/QUOTE]

No.

No. You're a fan of another band. Are you onle supposed to go to a Metallica concert and not like any other bands? Or any other band for that matter? If anyone gave you **** for that, they'd be an idiot.

Motorhead won a grammy for that. "Best metal performance"

Correct, I think i have 9 CD's i bought in one day, all random bands covering Metallica songs, I got the Blackest album 2 like 8 month ago, and figured there must be a Blackest album 1 somewhere... I finally found it... And just weeks ago i was in a music store and saw a Blackest album 4!!! So i know there is a 3 and 4 out also... Maybe even more than 4!!
I do enjoy the apacalyptica album also.. Thats pretty cool

Ive heard some of the blackest album stuff, and a lot of it is bands trying to play metallica, but they have there guitars tone all messed up and the vocalist is sreaming at the top of his lungs like its death metal or something.

I thought the balckest album was poeple covering metallica techno style?

[QUOTE=FlyingPaul_83]I thought the balckest album was poeple covering metallica techno style?[/QUOTE]

That could be right actually. I heard some metallica tribute thing on Launch radio and it was like what i was saying before.

metallica is the 5th greatest band ever.
here is my chart
1:led zeppelin
2:black sabbath
3:black sabbath
4:acdc
5:metallica
