None.Play For Whom The Bell Tolls or Eneter Sandman.Though of the 3 id say Blackened.

For Whom the bell rolls and sandman were played this year. Anyway I was just asking this for next school year . If i'm not mistaking Blackened has the hardest solo out of the three right?

yeah.........i dont reckon that those 3 would go down to well though.Lepers a bit long,and doesnt change much so the audience might get bored.Blackened is good but really fast.Creeping Death changes a bit too much maybe.I played at Band night last week;we played our own stuff but they were all at least 7 mins long but cos they changed (subtly) and worked well it went down.Also it was origional material.With covers you need to either play something a lot of people know or play something snappy,like Motorbreath,that captures attention.These guys played covers then and sucked *** but they were covers people knew,so it got (some of ) the crowd on their side.About 8 pages back is a thing some guy wanted opinion on what metallica songs to play at a battle of the bands,that might help you.Otherwise ask for some suggestions.

[QUOTE=UnknowN Doodl3]Whats better for a school concert.

Creeping Death...Blackened...or Leper Messiah?[/QUOTE]

Creeping Death!!!!! It's so f'ucking awesome when the crowd goes, "DIE! DIE!" etc.

Wow ... there are so many metallica threads on this board !

if you got a crowd at a school concert (most of whom will know metallica by st.anger) to do the chanting then you have my respect.The most i managed to incite was hand-waving,and the bastards couldnt even keep that up for the whole song

loads ok, but its not their best

who said it was their best?
their best album had to be and justice and S&M

:lol: Yeah thats true.

i once managed to get em to sing along to the unforgiven.
i failed miserably at makin em sing along to mama said.

A good song (though very overrated) to play is Enter Sandman. Everyone knows that song

my band covered creeping death and we played it in our school last december and like 15 people chanted die it was pretty cool

i'd say play blackened , and headbang as ****! people will like that

Correct me if I'm wrong but if one were to move around too much on stage, he would look like an idiot, right?

I would play "Creeping Death" because there are a lot of Metallica posers at my school who would know what to do. Nothing against Metallica, but I'm sure you've seen just from this thread alone that many of its fans are a little... dumb.

[QUOTE=FrailandBedazzled1979]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.[/QUOTE]

except for the last part, i totally agree, nicely said.

(i still listen to the first 5 metallica albums almost regularly. )

I have all metallicas except load and i would say that reload isnt there best but it is far from being their worst.

[QUOTE=addicted_tochaos]who said it was their best?

I agree, justice is my favourite album.

A lot of people seem to think that S&M meant they were selling out. I never got that... why is releasing a live album selling out?

Yeah, I agree with what most people said on here about Load and Reload being good albums. Its funny because i've heard so many people flaming these albums but I never thought they were that bad.

the people who flame them are usually narrowminded thrashers people who cant deal with the fact that metallica changed musically

i agree those albums arent as good as the old ones but they certainly are better than many new bands

I'd got with Blackened. If you were gonna play the intro to it as well. Thats's got such a kickass intro. I reckon if you want poeple to join in or do do stuff with you, i'd go for Creeping Death.

Newsflash! :lol:

S&M is great,if lacking a few important songs.Puppets is the best, but i reckon load is full of bland blues-rock.Some songs are good,i.e outlaw torn and bleeding me,but they are better on S&M

S&M's setlist is great, nothing to complain about, no need for the same song every time :)

Battery on S&M is so nice. Especially when the main riff comes in. My mom hates what I listen to, cause its too fast and heavy for her. So what I did was ask her to listen to a very smooth, slow moving song. So I made her listen to Fith Fire with fire. ;)

I listen to Load and Re-load every day. I love both.

I listen to RTL alot.

i've liked Metallica since i was 8 years old (14 in april)

^Yeah me too. I even listen to rtl a bit more than Mop.

I can't stand Load or Reload... I like a few songs off them (King Nothing, Fuel) but I usually only listen to RtL, MoP, and sometimes AJFA

i listen to justice more than any other album

i just cant get enough of blackened, ajfa, dyers eve, one, eye of the beholder, shortest straw, to live is to die, harvester of sorrow and the frayed ends of sanity

all the songs in that album are awesome my favorite's gotta be blackened or dyers eve or to live is to die
