[size=1]Also, I'll just pretend not to notice that you tried to camoflage it with size originally :p[/size]

yea i want to bump my clapton and dire straits thread... but ill follow some rules for once or twice

so are we going to talk about metallica?

anybody here reckon anybodys read this thread all the way through?

i doubt it. maybe ridethespiral or ramsey (the first two posters) but i know i haven't

everyone - all hail ridethespiral. hear hear

i've read the first 42 pages, a few pages around 400, and 696 to here.

Why would anyone read all 700+ pages

i've read every page since i started posting here. i read the first page or two, but then thats it btwn there and here

dunno. they might be an INSANELY obsessive uber-die hard metallica monster. :evil: :thumb:
i'm pretty obsessive but not like that.


i just sent an e-mail to [email]jameshetfield@hotmail.com[/email]...
"are you in a band?"

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]when's the best time for the metallica thread?[/QUOTE]
huh?

For everyone
 

hey this is a qestion for anyone and everyone, what do you think the band would have been like if cliff burton was still alive and dave mustaine was still in the group?

when is the thread NOT deserted?

(it wasn't tonight, but last night...sheesh!)

hmmm...good question there.

one thing's for sure...we wouldn't have megadeth... :confused:

kill em all would be pretty much exactly the same...
RTL would also be similar but we probably wouldn't have Escape. The solos would be more reminiscent of what we know as Megadeth solos (eg. rtl)
MoP would have some differences. the songs with hammett credited on them would probably be very different or wouldn't exist, and probably songs that we don't know would be on there.
AJFA would not have Blackened :upset: because that's newsteds riff. to live is to die would be much more extravagent, too i think. and the production would have been much better, bass wise, because they treated newsted like s**t sometimes and left him out.
The black album may or may not have been produced by Bob Rock and there would be no enter sandman (kirk's song). as this was really the pilot of the black album it would be completely different...similar to the 80s albums.
Load and Reload probably would not have emerged.
They probably would have stuck with what they're doing now like slayer but i don't think they'd be as popular as they really are and i don't even know if they'd still be together. i reckon if they'd kept mustaine and cliff hadn't been killed (RIP) they would have sold about 15 million albums in total now compared to about 92 million, because of the black album. AND THERE'S NO WAY CLIFF WOULD HAVE QUIT - HE KNEW BETTER!!! :thumb:

tell me what you think

[QUOTE=willis2441]better[/QUOTE]

Nah, I like Kirk more than Mustaine. But it would be cool to have Cliff.

it was good that Dave was boooted cause now we have 2 great bands...everything would have been better with cliff...way better basslines and he wouldn't accept the crap they are putting out lately. I have great faith in future records though.

I think Kirk better than mustaine yeah. "mega dave" has too big an ego.
Do you think that Metallica in 1982 should have picked Gary Holt instead of Kirk Hammett from Exodus?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]ANOTHER LITTLE KNOWN FACT

James recorded both guitar parts and bass on the track hit the lights.[/QUOTE]
theres alot i dont know about james. i never knew he did the solos.

james did the N.E.M solo and the MoP 1st solo...and he plays the 3rd phrase of the seek and destroy solo live occasionally.

james has a much better tone than kirk, don't you agree?
what distortion does he use?

naw...Kirk keeps em all level headed most of the time. they need that. It's a perfect combo they got going. plus Kirk's solo's are really awesome. i wish lars would'nt have objected to the soloing on St Anger..it might have come out better

[QUOTE] i wish lars would'nt have objected to the soloing on St Anger..it might have come out better[/QUOTE]

totally. maybe the album wouldn't have that horrible nu-metal feel.

i'm ASSUMING your a guitarist...
check out the bottom of p717 for metallica guitar tones.

you've been like telling everyone about pg 717 at least twice per page.lol


ok. I got a question. did cliff actually write some of the solos for the Metallcia songs "pre Justice."? and if he did, what songs?

he writes a lot of the fast solos too (any guitar solo with the song not credited by hammett or mustaine is jaymz' work)...but most people think he can't play them because kirk always plays em. but jaymz is just as good as kirk.
