FWTBT isn't hard at all. The rhythm is incredibly easy, and is the leads. Don't know about drums or bass but guitar sure is easy.

I play guitar, and learnt the bass intro etc. on guitar originally...
But later I tried bass :p It's still a pretty easy song on bass..

It's possibily the easiest Metallica song to play, and that's saying quite a bit, I think, I mean.. I found it easier then Enter Sandman... :p

[QUOTE=hammet_ownz]im a bassist and im trying to do the running riff (the one hammett plays live and runs around, hence the name) but its a bitch. too many bad habits learnt early with bass, like neglecting to use my pinky. ****.

ah well. ill just keep doin the 'ba-na ba-na Naaaaaaa' bit rofl[/QUOTE]

What is the running riff? :x

I can play all of Bells pretty accurately on bass, unfortunately I have no way to record it :\

And yes, Bells (on bass at least) is very easy...getting the timing down is the hardest part of the song, considering the notes are either in the high range (very beginning) or open notes and 3s and a few slides here and there.

I can't do that 19p16 part, the 16 doesn't sound (even with my Muff) :\, but that's about it.

Im going to make/buy a Metallica bracelet (like the livestrong ones) and it's going to be black and really cool! everyone should get one

Hell Yes, I would get one!

Yeh, but to me the idea of the Livestrong bands is to help starving kids, and give money to charity. That kind of thing. The use of them as fashion accessories really gets on my chagrin, as people make any kind of band, just because they know it'll sell well, and the majority of the ones kids wear are fakes and copies, which defies the point of the charity message, and makes those kids absolute greedy, selfish b[b]a[/b]stards.

:smash:

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Yeh, but to me the idea of the Livestrong bands is to help starving kids, and give money to charity. [/QUOTE]

...you're joking right? It's for cancer.

Actually I like the idea. It's great now because there are several bands for all sorts of causes. My sister made some Metallica ones, and I didn't really care because she had the other ones too.

If you're going to make a Metallica band or some other band band you should buy one of the other ones too, just to support the cause they were originally invented for.

Yes, it's just you.

na that's when I spazzed at some spammers. I was a couple of pages earlier :thumb:

I just recorded the rhythm guitar for Seek and Destroy. I'll come back when i mix it n everything and i'll post a YSI link (or a soundclick link if YSI isn't working). Is anyone recording Lead, Bass, Drums, or Vocals?

So I decided to finally rent Some Kind Of Monster last night. It exceeded my expectations. You really get an understanding of how the band felt after Jason left them, while recording St. Anger, and when James left for rehab. Well I guess I knew that was what the movie was going to be about, but I didn't think it would be as interesting as it was.

My two favorite scenes were when Ulrich met to talk with Mustaine apparently for the first time in a long time, and Ulrich was pretty emotional about it. And when the band had the bass tryouts, and Kyuss' old bassist, Jane Addiction's and more showed up. Trujilo definitley did stand out though, and they offered him $1 000 000 just to join them! Imagine!

Anyway, I'm sure you guys have talked about this movie quite a bit but this is the first I've seen it. Very interesting.

I Think the bass auditions part is very funny, because it shows all of them play for whom the belll tolls:lol:.................................................................. :upset:

Yeah, and how much Twiggy sucks at bass.

Anyway. I wasn't talking about the Livestrong bands specifically about starving children. Hence the 'that kind of thing', but its all for charity. And that's the point that people sorely miss :upset:

And I already have a Seek and Destroy bass part recorded, if you want it. I posted it a few pages back, but I think the YSI will have expired by now.

:smash:

Thing is, Twiggy really does suck Manson :upset:

I think the three that James liked were Pepper Keenan, Scott Reeder and obviously Robzilla..

:x

[QUOTE=Chu]Thing is, Twiggy really does suck Manson :upset:[/QUOTE]

Twiggy doesn't suck, have you heard the A Perfect Circle basslines?

so my seek and destroy was meh...

No, I wasn't meaning his bass playing sucks.
He gives Manson blowjobs before shows etc.... :upset:

You think that's awesome?! :confused: :evil: :upset:

yea it was funny

lol

The "Kirk Hammett running riff" in Bells, is that the riff that starts at 1:17 in the studio version (right after the chug-chug-chug riff at the beginning)?

Yeah, I think that's the running riff.
I have a few live videos of For Whom The Bell Tolls, and whenever he does that, he does some gay strut, that's made even gayer by the fact he wears tight leather pants :x

P.S. That chug-chug-chug-chug riff is awesome to play I reckon :D

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]It wasn't bad, but I think that you can do better.[/QUOTE]

agreed. that was just one recording. any thoughts for my tone (without me buying anything, just like low mid n high etc)

just wondering, why does it seem like there are less and less posts in this awesome Metallica thread? There are 3 hour differences inbetween posts it seems...

because people dont have anything to say......obviously. What do you guys think the most overated metallica solo is?

I have a band but the only two good things in it are the bassist and me, the other guitar player s*cks and the singer deafens me and we have no drummer, the singer is going to play guitar and the guitarist can go and sit in some corner to practice, now the only thing we need is a drummer.

[QUOTE]because people dont have anything to say......obviously. What do you guys think the most overated metallica solo is?[/QUOTE]

you SUCK. i was just about to do that topic...

i'm only joking, ok so solos, just kirk ones for now

Most Overrated- One
Most Underrated-Struggle Within
Best, in your opinion -Fade to Black

Overrated - Wherever I May Roam
Underrated - My Friend of Misery
Best - Trapped Under Ice

i think all solos rule, because St. Anger didn't feature any!!! plus, shredding is coming back. well, it is back. shadows fall even said so.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]agreed. that was just one recording. any thoughts for my tone (without me buying anything, just like low mid n high etc)[/QUOTE]
Your tone seems ok, but its too loud. It sounds kind of scratchy.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]so my seek and destroy was meh...

it sounded messed up at the beginnuing.

The beginning? Yea i started off too fast. and the scratchy, i need to lower my amp volume

how does any one play "nothing else matters" and what do they put the amp settings to? cus when i play it doesnt sound right.

[QUOTE=captain-divvy]how does any one play "nothing else matters" and what do they put the amp settings to? cus when i play it doesnt sound right.[/QUOTE]

You have to have a little bit of chorus. I use...

Bass - 5
Mid- 3/4
Treble-6/7
Guitar Tone- 5

Boss Chorus CH-1 Pedal
E. Level - 5
EQ - 5
Rate- 6.5/8
Depth- 4


and what do you mean by "does anyone know how to play [it]?"

Wow, dude, calm down. :p

New Album
 

[QUOTE=iliketoplaydrums10111]^^thanks guys
i have a question?

What do you think Metallica's new album will be like, if they come out with one, will they come out with another one??[/QUOTE]

The question isn't if it's when. they seem to space the albums about 4 years apart so if you are still alive in 2007, well you may hear something from them.
