hatchedinalab89,

Obviously lars isn't one of the best drummers, although he has good stage presence. And of course kirk and james aren't the best guitarists nor metal vocalist, but hey, it's all subjective. I dont like when people say Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist because to many people he's not, etc.

The skill level of all the members of the band have been talked about a ton. Especially Lars. Let's try and get off of Lars for awhile atleast.

there is no best guitarist

i am the best guitarist ever

IMO James [B]is[/B] the best metal vocalist ever.

I like James voice a lot

Yeah i like his too, but I don't think he is the best, but very good.

[QUOTE=sg_sacrifice]This is my list of albums best to worst, imo:

Ride the Lightning
...And Justice for All
Master of Puppets
Black Album
Kill Em' All
Reload
Load
Garage Inc
St. Anger[/QUOTE]


Mine:

...And Justice for All
Master of Puppets
Ride the Lightning
Kill Em' All
Garage Inc

The rest I hate. So Unmetallica-ish. Or so un-thrashy metal

[QUOTE=Po0osH]Yeah i like his too, but I don't think he is the best, but very good.[/QUOTE]

i agree. my fav is tom araya from slaya (slayer) :evil:

Just for fun who [I]do[/I] you think has the best metal voice? (singing, not just growling as in death metal)

phil anselmo of pantera.

He has perfect clean vocals

He can hit high notes

He screams his a[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]s off (Listen to the great southern trendkill)

For straight up singing, no one but Russell Allen of Symphony X for me.

Rob Halford, without a doubt.

GREAT song :thumb:

Off the top of my head I can't really think who I would say [I]the best[/I] metal vocalist would be...I'll give it a thought.

Although I do think James has an awesome voice.

My choice aswell :cool:

yea, you said lets get off lars, but one more thing about him.

@pepsi, the only other drummer that i can think of that's better is the rush drummer, surrounded 360 degrees in drums. If he isn't one of the best, then who is? maybe the best drummer isn't the one who can hit the snair the fastest, or make a drumrole out of a double bass pedal, (which lars is pretty good at by the way.), but maybe it's who can correspond with the music the best, and with For Whom The Bell Tolls, and the ending of all their live songs. With Lars just beating the **** out of his bass pedals, I'd have to say he's one of the best out there.

Btw, does anyone listen to System Of a Down? Theyre drummer sounds like he's playing live all the time for some reason, anyone noticed?

Mike Portnoy?

the best drummers in my book are lars, gar samuleson from the first megadeth lineup, as well as nick menza. then neil perdt from rush and stuart copeland from the police. i know that's a far cry from metal, but the dude is ****ing killer! anyone agree?

I agree Nick Menza, Gar Samuelson and Neil Peart are good, there's probably no 'best' drummer though.

I agree on Nick Menza

i guess there are no police fans on the metallica thread

Police fan?

yeah man the police. stings band before sting? so lonely, every little thing she does is magic, material sun? im avoiding saying every breath you take for a reason, but yeah the ****ing police are awesome! very musical and just really cool in my book. check em out.

They're fun to listen to, lots of very catchy tunes..Sting's voice is fun to imitate too. :D

sting?

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]sting?[/QUOTE]

You've never heard of sting?

why is sting being talked about?

i'll go back

It's not really important, just a little side-discussion.
