well im outta here for awhile but ill talk to u guys later sorry for ranting, but Metallica is just a sensitve subject for me. i just want good music to stay alive. no more boy bands :( i cant handle it anymore...

"i have lost the will to live, simply nothing more too give"-Metallica, fade to black

[QUOTE=madlyinangerwithu]I just love Metallica sooo much ive grew up with them and theyve always been there for me and im sick of people talking **** about them.[/QUOTE]

I'm really sick of naysaying wankers writing them off when all they've heard is St. Anger, which is IMO their worst ever song, it requires less skill to play than a lot of other 'Tallica songs...here's a hint, listen to FtB, Sanitarium.

EDIT: see ya, madlyinangerwithu dude :wave:

St. Anger is a great album it was wrote about their emotions it wasnt something they wanted to be really hardcore they wanted to focus on getting the message through for example frantic and unnamed feeling where it really made u feel like u knew what James was going through with his therapy. I liked that CD and all of their CD's, yes St.Anger is not their best work but it is good. but i agree with u metalcritter666 its no their best CD. MOP is probably one of my favorite songs especially the S&M version it shows that a metal band can actually sing and have good technique. which is why i love Metallica, there not afraid of taking chances and when they do they always do a good job...Most people dont like St. Anger very much but it was #1 on the billboards so obviously their doing something right.

"shoot me again i aint dead yet" -Metallica, Shoot me again.

What? the main criticism of Metallica is how their sound has change dramatically, not that St. Anger is a crap record. Most of the people who have only heard St. Anger are fanboys.

or metal posers

[QUOTE=madlyinangerwithu]St. Anger is a great album it was wrote about their emotions it wasnt something[/QUOTE]

I never said I didn't like it. I like the whole album, I meant the sound not the lyrics.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]What? the main criticism of Metallica is how their sound has change dramatically, not that St. Anger is a crap record.[/QUOTE]

No. I'm talking about the people who write off Metallica and have only heard 1 or 2 songs, because they are a 'rock band'. I'm not talking about fanboys.

This sellout/posers/fanboys/crap should stop. What happening to people listening to bands for enjoyment? People here complain for every little thing a band does. Lol, who cares, if a song is good, listen to it. If it's not, then dont. Complaining isn't really going to fix a song, or saint anger for that matter. I think everyone understands the album's drums were very messed up, but some people still might like that. :confused: Maybe...

Im just hoping on their next album, they make a few softer songs like sanitarium, fade to black, nothing else matters, etc. They should just use normal drum sounds and add solos. That'll make moi happy. :p

Believe it or not, its not really S.t Anger that caused a fan outrage... Basically, they brought down Napster which ultimatly pissed people off, loads of fans were burning there cd's on the news and their official site accually got hacked with LEAVE NAPSTER ALONE placed on the main screen...
Anyway, Just as fans start believing in Metallica again, they come out with S.t Anger.... It saw alot of fans off, but as Metallica have always said, We don't make music for the fans, we make music for ourselves, And Me for one am honoured to have Metallica share there music with me...

I completely agree with you madlyinangerwithu st.anger is a good cd the only thing i dissagreed about it was there are no solos and i think solos are important to a thrash/heavy metal band such as metallica and no that i know there will be solos again on there next album i am just as excited about it than any other one of there cds in the past.

I agree, Music is there for people to listen to! Millions of albums are out there on the shelves, if you like an album, buy it! If not don't!!

Critisizing an album will not make it better, I mean, some people claim to hate S.t Anger, yet they spend all their time speaking about it? It doesn't really make sense. Have you heard S.t Anger songs live??? They fit in just the same with the old material... The only thing most people dislike about the album, Is the crunchy guitar, and the Piccolo Snare...

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I agree with most of what you said...But are you saying that fanboys and don't annoy you?..[/QUOTE]

It's not that they dont annoy me, it's the fact that I dont care about them and the bitching.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]Metallica are actually fans of SOAD :D[/QUOTE]
That's nice to know. SOAD rocks, despite what a lot of people on here say.

Anyone else in here going to enter the Prog Metal contest? I'm trying to combine Metallica with Dream Theater and make an awesome song.

Would make a good song!

Well Enter Sandman is a bit overrated, but something that would sound like that isn't that bad of an idea. Thanks, dude.

I honestly think you are the coolest guy to come out of the 05 crew so far.

I agree its quite overated, but the chugging on the toms at the beginning would fir in well with the dream theater song

Thanks for the advice. I need all the help I can get, I'm not the greatest at writing songs.

On another note, can anyone play Jason's bass solo on the San Diego DVD?

I can play most of it but not by heart, I need the tabs infront of me as guidance. The only thing I get stuck on is the second riff in My Friend of Misery. The main riff I can do easily its the second part with the 7's, 5's, 0's and 9's. I know that sounds easy but the movement over the G, D and A strings is annoying.

Can you possibly record it? I really want to hear someone else do it.

I haven't heard it before :(. That makes me sad.

what do you guys think about apocalyptica?

Has any body noticed that the riff on Damage inc that starts at 4:18 sounds alot like one of the battery solos (not to get off topic but i was wonderin).

[QUOTE=Chu]Someone review a song, how about something from ReLoad.[/QUOTE]

I can do one, it's just I won't be so interested since FTB is my favorite song and Unforgiven II isn't

I call unforgiven II!!! I'll do it tomorrow night, I'm off to bed now. :wave:

[QUOTE=statdat]what do you guys think about apocalyptica?[/QUOTE]

You should post a song. I dont think I've heard them before. :(

I just downloaded a Metallica audio bootleg with dream theater... has anyone else heard this?

I'm gonna upload a video of them playing Master of puppets right now, hold on

Ok here we go:

This is dream theater playing master of puppets

Thanks :thumb:

[QUOTE=statdat]what do you guys think about apocalyptica?[/QUOTE]
I downloaded the Apocalyptica-One song and I think its cool how they have a different horn/violin for the lyrics and guitar and stuff but I would rather listen to the Metallica version on AJFA (this was my first time hearing a symphonic cover)
How did you find out about Apocalyptica and do you know what that means?

I like that apocalyptica. Do they only do metallica covers or what? Those were pretty neat. I like how they added instrumental vocals. Nice stuff. :thumb:

I also liked Dream Theater's cover of MoP although guy's voice was unhetfield, and their stage presence is pretty bad excluding portnoy. But they're great nonetheless.

apocalyptica is so cool! nice renditions of metallica songs.

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Can you possibly record it? I really want to hear someone else do it.[/QUOTE]

I cannot play that solo, But I can play the one he does when Jaymez says ''Oh Hell Satan if you please''!!
I play it on a downtuned guitar, take of treble, in fact it sounds lower than a bass...I will record it for you sometime....
P.s I will have a go at the other solo for you, I know My bass play can do it, I will get him to record that one also

What about something like the double bass blasts from One, with some Petrucci speed, I dunno, something from Train of Thought.

Yeah, I agree, Fade To Black is probably my favourite, (Well one of them, Orion > Fade To Black imo, but for lyrics, Fade To Black hands down), I think an instrumental version of Fade To Black would rock, but just cause vocals have never really interested me, and I think the lyrical subject of Fade To Black drags the music down, but could it work the other way?
If you just listen to the music, I get a sense of achievement, but when the lyrics kick in, it's like 'Oh snap!'....

Thanks man, I'll be waiting for the review, I wanna find _decent_ songs from Load/ReLoad (Does such a thing exist? :o) :)

Edit: Just read some of the previous pages, didn't want to double post.

I actually know a guy who really liked the drum sound from St. Anger, I can't agree with him, but hey the guy could play Meshuggah's I on guitar, so I wasn't gonna diss his opinion.

Edit 2: I wanna be nice :p
