Master of Puppets CD

Weve had a lot of discussions about the metallica songs lately and the complexity of different ones. But wut is rly interesting and shows their creativity are the 3 instrumentals: The Call Of Ktulu (RTL), Orion (MOP), and To Live is to Die (AJFA).

So heres my question, which one of these three songs are your favorite and why?? Mine is To Live is To Die becuz of the huge diversity it has from classical, to metal, to 1st position melodic chords (the interlude part with the violin sythesizers). So wuts everyone els' fave Metallica instrumental?

To live is to die because of what you said :p

Orion,it's just a great masterpiece, the solo's are incredible and the duration of the song it's perfect, you can hear the melodic complex of Burton and the rage sounding guitars of hetfield and hammett.

my favorite is To live is to die
the acoustic intro is smart, its heavy , i love the toggle flicking in the solo, and it has a cool name

Call of Ktulu. If only someone had the S&M version sans orchestra, I would love them.

That song is just indescribably good. I used to prefer Orion, but Ktulu is far far more kickarse.

:smash:

I'd say call of ktulu cos i havent herd th others

To Live Is To Die, because it has some beautiful guitar parts and solos. And in a sense its Cliff's last recorded output

Actually yeah, I love Call of the Ktulu, it's a tough match though with Orion though.

They're all brillitant to me. I couldn't pick one.

To live is to die, i like the end..i really thought "hmm where heard i this before" , haha it was 9 minutes ago :P

[QUOTE=gocaps99]Name about any Metallica song and I'm sure it has a memorable riff. There are good riffs for average songs, like Enter Sandman, and there are amazing riffs for amazing songs like Seek and Destroy.

AJFA

-[URL=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=35ZJLWP0]Blackened[/URL]: Probably the coolest intro for a Metallica song that lasts like 30 seconds. Awesome song with great thrash riffs and vocals
-...And Justice For All: Incredibly long song, but filled with great riffs (including a great intro) and awesome vocals
-Eye of the Beholder: Probably my least favorite on the album.
-One: There aren't words to describe the kicka[SIZE=2]ss[/SIZE]ness of this song.
-The Shortest Straw: Once again, far from my favorite, but it's a good song.
-The Frayed ends of Sanity: Great stuff, but the one after this is so much better
-[URL=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=35O05XH7]To Live is To Die[/URL]:Incredible "instrumental" that was written in memory of Cliff Burton. You need to hear this song.
-Dyers Eve: Easliy Lars' best drumming

KEA

You will have heard Seek and Destroy and possibly the Four Horsemen. The rest of the cd is incredibly thrashy with hardcore soloing. It's a great album (i don't feel like reviewing every song)



I have that one too, so what am I uploading for people?

edit: and for the memorable riffs, in a few minutes I'll post my absolute favorite Metallica riffs (again)[/QUOTE]


Harvester of sorrow is a AJFA song too right?
Really like that intro too, nice drumming again

I love, Battery, Unnamed Feeling, One, Blackened, Master of Puppets, Holier than Thou. The list goes on, but Battery is a reallly awesome song. Im sick of all those people complaining about St Anger that was a fruckin awesome album. Frantic and St Anger are really awesome songs

Aye - it is

I was listening to AJFA a few days ago for the first time in ages. It really is great. I don't know why i don't listen to it more often.

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]Aye - it is[/QUOTE]

Havent seen you round these here parts for a while *chews wheat*

I hate Harvester Of Sorrow. Puts me to sleep.

:confused: I love Harvester, i think it's one of the better songs on the album.

I,m split on the AJFA album. The guitars sound really unique (i luv the clean tone james and kirk get out of them like in the song AJFA or One). The wors part about it is that i can hardly here the bass. i brought the cd to my guitar teacher to learn some part of One and he sed where the hell is Jason?!

MOP is my fave album becuz of Battery and I luv playing along with the cd on the song master of puppets for 8 and a half minutes

You can hardly hear the bass, its true. You can also download from several places on the net versions of the songs with people who've added bass to it if you're that bothered. Part of AJFA being AJFA is the tinny guitars, the weird drums and the pretty much nonexistent bass. It was a weird mix.

Is it just me that can feel a lot of anger coming from AJFA? Far more than St Anger... It feels like there's a lot of emotion in it, and its very raw and powerful.

:smash:

you just have to listen to the live bass.

St. Anger actually feels more angry than AJFA in my opinion.

i just love the sound setup the way it was on AJFA. even better than MOP or Black album

To be honest, I think The Unnamed Feeling sounds angry. I can almost relate well to that song. Past that, AJFA sounded a lot more honest in its anger, and certainly like it had been pent up for a lot longer.

:smash:

(As a side note, I'm looking for Ascendancy by Trivium... If anyone has it and fancies sharing, please don't hesitate to say so! :))

Harvester Of Sorrow is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Is it just me that can feel a lot of anger coming from AJFA? Far more than St Anger... It feels like there's a lot of emotion in it, and its very raw and powerful.[/QUOTE]

St. Anger is way more raw and angry imo. Especially the vocals.

I think the vocals are only angry cos he shouts them.

[QUOTE=GaggingOrder]Harvester Of Sorrow is one of the best songs I've ever heard.[/QUOTE]

Out all my friends that say they hate Metallica, they either like just Harvester of Sorrow or Enter Sandman or both.

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]St. Anger is way more raw and angry imo. Especially the vocals.[/QUOTE]

Yes I do agree with this.

I like Harvester because it's just one riff after another, and they're all agressive, fun to play riffs.

When I think about it I thikn that the point of the AJFA album was the pain james, lars, and kirk wen thru wen they lost cliff. I think that they all felt like a family and james felt that it was an "injustice" that cliff was taken for no reason, it just gave them a hard time and i think that they felt like God was just punishing them for no reson "justice is gone".

I believe it's Justice Is Done.

I believe only To Live Is To Die is about Cliff, and the rest is a bout as[B][I][/B][/I]sholes.

It's justice is gone.

Actually... its both.

I looked at the lyrics, it says justice is gone, and then after another line it says justice is done.

Man, I'm listening to that download concert again. It owns so hard. I gotta see Metallica live this time around.

The drum sound on the recordings is horrible. Good show though. I hope they go back to Download next year. I'm not much of a festival person - but they'd draw me in.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]Man, I'm listening to that download concert again. It owns so hard. I gotta see Metallica live this time around.[/QUOTE]

Yea that concert was great especially songs with Joey. Seek and destroy, creeping death, and from whom the bell tolls were all great. Plus drumming was different than lars'.

Lars will probably add some more complexity into drums in the next album too. Like how he had a drum intro in almost every song on st. anger. That never happened on any album before.

Yea listen to the song, he says both like 10 times.

The only below-par recording on the Download cd was Battery but it's still okay.

Creeping Death and Sad But True are ace.

Lars has a lot of talent and that was shown on St.Anger. I hope that they giv him a chance to solo like they did for cliff like mayb another intrumental with a drum solo. Or maaybe he can show off in the middle of a song for a bit just not as much power as st.anger's drums were. What I also think would be cool is a St.Anger type of instrumental (in drop C) i kno that they could definetly pull that off, they havnt made one in like 18 years

The drumming on St. Anger was average as usual.
