I've only heard Load, but what I heard was okay. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone just getting into Metallica though.

Reload is the album which introduced me to metal a whole. I hardly listen to it anymore, but will still go back to it every once in a while.

does anyone know the chord formations for the clean part of master of puppets? if there is any

because i have a live video of them playing and i see james with his hand barely moving (left) but he is picking and i wanted to know if anyone knows the formations? and can post them

thanks if you can

ps or pm me them

I don't really like Reload all that much, but Load is a great album.

Evewryone here seems to like load and reload,but here goes..........I've posted my reviews of the albums here.They are also on amazon.com under Joe.I would re-review them but im lazy.

[U][B]Load[/B][/U]

[QUOTE]'Load' is a bad album of bad songs.This would get 1 star, but it's saving grace is 'The Outlaw Torn' and 'Bleeding Me',thus it gets 2 stars for these songs, which are addmitedly brilliant. It's lyrically,musically,and idea-wise (it's a bunch of rock ballads for christs sake!) a bad album. It is uninspired,plodding drivel and should be forgotten about. I respect Metallica for having the gall to change direction so sharply,but they seem to have forgotten what made them special in the first place,i.e being a metal band.It's depressing that a band can progress from starting thrash metal to being a dull mainstream rock band,in about a decade. If you want a '90s (studio) album by Metallica then get 'Metallica' or 'ReLoad'.Anything but this. [/QUOTE]

[B][U]ReLoad[/U][/B]

[QUOTE]I got this and 'Load' for Christmas,so I decided to come and finish my Metallica album reviews.I was genuinely surprised, as what I'd heard off the album ('The Memory Remains', and 'Fuel', 'The Memory Remains', and 'Devil's Dance' on 'S&M') was awful.But this is better than 'Load'.It is heavier and weirder, and I personaly prefer it to 'St.Anger' and '...And Justice For All'.It has a kind of groove, and is the only album where Newstead seems comfortable in his role.I still prefer their pre-1994 work, where they live up to their name and are a metal band, but this album is pretty good, and it would get a higher rating if it wasn't by METAL-lica.That said, 'Fuel' sounds good here, also worth a mention are 'Prince Charming', 'Where the Wild Things are', 'Unforgiven II' and 'Fixxer'.The best on the album is probably 'Fuel'.I also think that if 'No Leaf Clover' was on here it would be so much better, and the song would fit right in.The lyrics are the best thing here, probably the best since 'Master Of Puppets'.Anyway, I like 'ReLoad', and it has a quirky charm about it. [/QUOTE]

it is inevitable that there will be a million things in there you don't agree with,but it is my opinion,which i am entitled to.Thats my thoughts,now you can continue saying how good Load is.

Its along that majestic Em chord, I think.

lol the Em chord eh? well it would help if i knew chords lol i'll try looking in my chord dictionary its like 16 pages of chords so it might take a while to find the right one. oh thanks a lot too :)

the majestic em :lol: i guess it's E7 or Em7

Reload is good as well one of my fav songs is Unforgiven II (I heard on their new album the last song of that series is suppoesd to come out "Finally Forgiven") but yeah i like many of hte songs on it like fuel, untill it sleeps, The memory remains, Well the whole cd. LOL. Yes we know those slbums were drastic changes from there regualr formual of fast paced metal followed by the face melting solo ( i watched [U]School of rock[/U] yesterday) but yeah anyas people change anf they are people

[url]http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,m,799,Metallica,Master+Of+Puppets,24868[/url] for the tab.

progression = Em, D, Csus2, B7

EDIT: [url]http://www.cyberfret.com/chords/chord-finder/index.php[/url] to get the chord shapes.

What does kirk use (What effect) when he does the solo parts where its as if they'res two guitars when there is actually just one playing the whole thing. Cause I hate it when tabs are made for 5 or 6 guitars to play one song. e.x: The second half of the FFWF solo, Almost all of ..AJFA, the first mop solo after the interlude etc...

Harmonizing solo. Youll need a friend.

thanks so much halfdeadhippo that really helped!!!!!!

UnknowN Doodl3, yeah man. i was wondering about that too.

no idea. i'm sure metallica haters enjoy not being able to see this thread though :p

*crosses his fingers for new cd*

[QUOTE=slashjunior]

I liked the albums and I don't think they were selling out. [/QUOTE]

very well said. Load/Reload were great "hard rock" albums anyway you look at them. Vocally some of James best range and actually singing took place on those albums, lyrically songs like "bleeding me" and "fixxxer" were incredible, Kirk wrote more bluesy leads and shorter solos to fit the music better rather than show off, you could hear Jason's bass, and above all the song writing was top knotch. What diverse albums, no two songs followed a similar path. The riffage was heavy, listen to the intro to 2X4 or the chorus on Aint my Bitch, those are just great. Speed dosent make a band heavy, its how its played. Load and Reload are probley the two Metallica albums i can honestly say i still listen to.

*bump*

I was about to bump this *shakes fist*
Just a reminder, POST YOUR METALLICA OBSERVATIONS HERE, stop wasting thread space. Yes Metallica does include the following Kirk Hammet, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Rob Trujillo. Anything regarding them...here!

^

We should make a thread about it. :p

load is an excellent album.
reload is alright but not bad. i still love snm over them all.

Whats better for a school concert.

Creeping Death...Blackened...or Leper Messiah?
