Its not the same style as Orion..but its still there. Listen to Ktulu carefully and you'll hear Cliff's bass solo style in the background.

Although Ktulu is absolutely genious, I like Orion more. Ktulu has better riffs, but I like each of Orion's three solos more than Ktulu's. I like Orion more because it's more progressive. Ktulu's atmosphere stays the same (until the fantastic, almost triumphant, ending), while Orion changes throughout the song. But it's still a hard choice because Ktulu has one of my favorite riffs of all time (the one around 3:30).

But the atmosphere in Ktulu is what makes it so great.

Ktulu and Orion are both great instrumentals. That said, I prefer orion's riffs
( especially the one where there is A5, E5, C5 powerchords with open E mutes in between the notes)but I prefer ktulu's solo. Superbeer mentioned something about atmosphere. Atmosphere is what makes those songs great. Its what makes all songs by metallica great.

There's been some contreversy in this thread about including to live is to die as an instrumental. Why shouldn't it? As good as Ktulu and Orion are, in my opinion TLITD takes the title.

Ktulu Live S&M is the best (period)

okay, does anyone know anything about Metallica's next album. i hate to say that i've been sweapt in the rumors that St. Anger was their last studio album

to live is to die is an INSTRUMENTAL , there's no singing!

that's my favorite instrumental, then orion , then ktulu

i like orion better than ktulu cos i just think it's cooler, the call of ktulu gets kinda boring after a while cos it's the same riff over and over

well...imo (which probably don't count much)
i LOVE orion, i don't know why, i can't explain it, but i can listen to it for a long time, over and over. Ktulu is good, but i can only hear it a few times, i hate to say that about a Metallica song, but there are a few I don't like.

there is singing on to live is to die dude l

Orion is great but for the first 3 minutes or so it is pretty boring. Then they get into the solos and it picks up.

if you call a speech singing then yeah to live is to die has singing

hmm... thats a tricky one but i would say phantom lord

[QUOTE=Gernm18]if you call a speech singing then yeah to live is to die has singing[/QUOTE]

Its not singing - its a few of Cliff's words said as a tribute to him - they're quiet and short anyway

[QUOTE=SlaveToTheGrind]hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?[/QUOTE]

Escape. It sounds so cheesy and dated

So anyone here like Metallica ? .....*Secret Bump*

Me likes. :eek:

[QUOTE=SlaveToTheGrind]hm.. what's the worst song off the first four metallica cd's?[/QUOTE]

Escape.

the worst song i'd say seek and destroy, it gets really annoying after a while

Can someone tell me what song has the video where metallica are playing on a sort of swinging platform thing and theres an old lady humming the tune?

I'm pretty sure its a Load/ReLoad song.

EDIT: Memory Remains

I think Seek & Destroy is one of their worst songs. It gets repititive, the riff is boring, the chorus is horrid, and the sound quality (as all on Kill Em All anyway) sucks.

WORST SONG?

seek'n'destroy. too annoying
did i make the page 100?

No you didn't


Metallica related topic:
Can anyone explain to me the reason that Metallica play The Ecstasy of Gold (from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly) before some of their concerts and why it's on S&M? (besides from the fact its a great piece)

I like both seek and destroy and escape. :(

I think that Ktulu is their best instrumental. I wish i can be so creative and make crazy riffs that are like that in a song.

/me posts the 2000th post. :grin:
