[QUOTE=6stringslinger]Jason first was doing something with Echobrain....what happened??

Then he was playing with Zakk and Ozzy....what happend..why did he leave or was he kicked out?

Now he is just playing with Voivod??[/QUOTE]
he is nothing without metallica IMO

Yes, Willis I agree..he must of really wanted out of Metallica and I don't really think he will ever get a second chance. I don't hear too much about Voivod..I know he was getting pissed because he felt the rest of the band was taking too much time off and he(Jason) wanted to play music

Nah, he's not like cliff, but he is better than jason imo. I wanted to hear songs jason sang at. Not wrote. But yea, he is an idiot for leaving metallica. Didn't metallica kick him out kinda? I remember on SKOM james told jason that he should quit echobrain because he shouldn't contribute stuff to them while he's in metallica, and that's why he left. right?

yea lars and kirk went to his concert and went to see jason to support him,but he had left already

He was also being a little bitch whan they played at the raiders tail gate and they didin't tell him . he started calling them homos and stuff

Whats ur favorite extra scene or deleted scene on the SKOM DVD? Mine is the driving school one, thats a pretty cool song that he makes up.

I think the reason why he was playing with Echobrain was because Metallica was kind of on a long break and Jason wanted to do music 24/7......plus James neede some more time off for his problems and Jason was getting aggrivated and impatient..then James told him no side projects you are with Metallica and not Echobrain ..so Jason quit

[QUOTE=Chu]Kirk wrote a few of the KeA solos himself, an example is The Four Horsemen solo, and I think Seek & Destroy? Someone want to clarify this though?[/QUOTE]

no ! kirk did not write the seek and destroy solo, ive seen footage of mustaine playing that solo in some small time concert

Seek & destroy is my favourite Metallica song

/Random

mine right now is the four horsemen

/not so random

[QUOTE=gocaps99]I'm 100% sure Kirk wasn't in the band during KEA.

but you know how they auditioned rob? they played a few songs with him. maybe kirk already knew some of the songs just from being a fan[/QUOTE]

From Kirk's interview:
----------------------

The first time I ever saw James and Lars and Metallica was in 1983 at the Stone, which was a nightclub that used to be in San Fran. I was totally blown away by their originality and the ferocity of their sound and as well as the velocity of their sound they were the fastest band I had ever seen up to that point. I remember going up to the front of the stage and in between songs [original guitarist] Dave Mustaine was talking and I screamed out, "Sweet Savage!" which was a New Wave of British Heavy Metal band, and Dave heard me. He didn't look my way but said, "**** you!" into the mic. And it was really hilarious, 'cause if you fast forward to six months later, I remember sitting around with Lars listening to a tape of that very show 'cause he had it on cassette and I heard myself scream out while Dave was talking. I said to Lars, "Hey, that was me!" But I think the very first time I actually spoke to them was when my band Exodus opened up for them at this punk club in San Fran. After the show I went up to them and I was taken aback, 'cause as I was speaking to Lars he was undressing himself, and the next thing I know he was standing naked in front of me. I was just so blown away by his openness. Then I met James, I met Dave and then after that we went to a hotel on Lombard Street in San Fran. We hung out and drank and talked about heavy metal. When I ask them about it now they have absolutely no recollection of it.

I can very distinctly remember getting the phone call to come out to New York to audition for the band. Exodus' manager called me and said, "Hey man, Dave Mustaine is on his way out and Lars and James are interested in auditioning you." It was very peculiar, because prior to that I knew I had some sort of connection with the band, I had some sort of feeling before that I would be involved with Metallica in some way, but I didn't know it would be as a member. So when I got that call it made sense to me in a very strange way, like it was fulfilling a destiny.

I got picked up at the airport by my manager and [Metallica's bassist] Cliff Burton and we all crammed into this little truck and we drove out to Jamaica, Queens. We ended up going to the Music building which was converted into rehearsal spaces. You were not supposed to squat there, you were just supposed to go there and play and leave, but the guys were pretty much squatting there and it was winter and there was no glass on the windows and there was snow and really really chilly winds coming in. I looked around and these guys were sleeping on pieces of foam that were used to pack the amps on the U-Haul truck. James, Lars and I all kind of exchanged "hellos" and then we went into the rehearsal room and we started to play "Seek & Destroy." While we were playing Lars kept looking at James and James kept looking at Lars and I couldn't figure out what was going on. And we played some more songs and after we went out and got some 40-ouncers and started drinking and hanging out. And that continued for about a week, and they informed me that they had a gig at the end of the week at a place down in Dover, New Jersey, and I was totally freaked out. It seemed like I was in the band right off the bat, and I found myself playing a bunch of shows with them. They never formally told me I was in the band, and it didn't fully sink in until they said, "We are going into the recording studio, do you thi nk you can do it?" I was like, "Sure." We went to upstate New York and we began recording Kill 'Em All.


--------------------------------------------

About writing (not recording) the solos, I'm sure 90% of them were already composed by Dave. Except the middle solo in The Four Horsemen (by Kirk) and Hit The Lights (by Lloyd Grant and Hethfield).

The rest was Dave. Kirk did change them a little but Dave's ideas remained the same.

Anyone interested in early Metallica??? Ask btoto :thumb:

Yeah that's what I thought.
He didn't write the songs, but he played them.

Awesome man, if rep was still in, you'd get rep for that :)

**** lars naked eveywhere

Cliff Burton in these... performances was amazing, he is my inspiration and idol... and i want your views on him His acclaimed masterpiece pulling teeth and his inconstruction.. 'Orion' CLiff wrote most of Orion.. it was performed at this funeral by the band when he died... please share your feelings and thaughts on Cliff with me

We al know who Cliff was, and he was one hell of a bassist, and more musically advanced than the rest of the band.

Those are some sick bends.

Great DVD. For Whom the Bell Tolls is worth the price alone.

hey heres a really easy way to solve all of this. go look at the little booklit/ cdcover of the album ride the lightning ok? look at the credits for who wrote ride the lightning (the song) DAVE MUSTAINE! NOT KIRK! dave wrote the solo for lightning. thats probly in my top 5 solos of all time.

hope that helped

We've estabilished that. Either way, Kirk recorded it.

Is Dave the only name on the credits for that song?

Dave only wrote the intro riff, I thought.

Right, he didn't write the whole song, and Kirk most likely wrote the solo.
