[QUOTE=Gernm18]hold the pick right

ur pick should be under ur thumb like it's gotta fit perfectly and use ur index finger so the pick wont fall , and just let the edge go out(obviously)

try looking for some pics at google of how to hold ur pick right cos it's hard to explain and just practice man it takes a while to get good a picking and some songs are tricky like battery or blackened :thumb:[/QUOTE]
if you just pick with your wrist, rather than your whole arm moving that way your hand stays about 1/2 inch from the bridge at all times it will greatly increase the dynamics of your playing, you can stop notes whenever you want and they can be distinguished from one another, the music just sounds sharper and cleaner, remember its all about poise, precision and practice, speed is a reward from practice the more you practice the dfaster you'll get

it took me about a month to get the picking right so i could go fast enough for master of puppets. But then when i learned blackend i was so good at fast all downstroke picking it was easy and i learned it fast.

[QUOTE=Steve M.]Mama Said is the worst metallica song. I think anyway.[/QUOTE]

Agreed, that song is **** also i think its called where the wild things are off reload that pisses me off now

i just heard mama said for the first time in a long time not long ago and i lurv it at the moment. Where the Wild Things are ****s me off, I always skip it if I'm listening to Reload. Other than that, the album version of Outlaw Torn isn't that good, but the S&M version kicks ***. Apart from those, I can't really think of a Metallica song that isn't absolute genius.

What was the first song that metallica made?
I've always thought it was Hit the Lights, but a friend of mine says that their first song was some kinda demo that he didnt know the name of
I say thats BS

Wasn't it Jump in The fire?

Metallica
 

[FONT=Tahoma] :thumb: metallica was such a good band and they still are but their new music sucks...its tooo tacky n they are ruining their rep. i think st anger blew it...but thats wat i think....anyways...metallica...best band of all time[/FONT]

no first 'tallica song was Hit the Lights.
james and Lars wrote it even before they formed Metallica.

but there are some rumours that James wrote Motorbreath even before that.
but i'm not sure. even if it's true, James is not Metallica, so the credit
goes to Hit The Lights :)

what about enter sandman?

[I]My band is playing a cover of the whiskey in the jar song and i just wanted to know.. is that a cover of an irish folk song?? i never knew that till about 4 or 5 months ago...anyways...metallica is great accept st. anger that album blows....i like sweet amber and invisible kid and some kind of monster...but the rest blows....i think that there best song would have to be nothing alse matters or the unforgiven II...

i not sure whether it is a thin lizzy cover or a traditional song.

I know that Hetfield was in a band called Leather Charm before Lars and the formation of the greatest band the world has ever seen, haha, but it seems like i read somewhere Hit the Lights was it, the opening lines "no life til leather" was also the name of the demo that they put out, im not sure but i think that it was HTL.

I have a book w/ the history of metallica and it says that there first song was Hit the Lights,
but it might have been called something else

Anyone gonna see that new metallica movie?

I really want to see it.

i'm not going to see it. maybe i'll get it on dvd some day...

Whiskey in the Jar was an Irish folk song, and Thin Lizzy did a rendition. Metallica then did a cover of that song.
hope thats made things cyrstal clear :rolleyes:

Does anyone know of any bands other than 'Tallica and Thin Lizzy who have done Whiskey in the Jar?

Bumpity. :)

You did it again, triple poster :angry:

he's talking about the metallica movie some kind of monster.

[QUOTE=aicnirvana]Hey,
Since this is the metallica thread I was wonderin if any1 could answer this Q.

For a gay *** spanish project I gotta no if kirk speaks spanish. Any of you people know???
Thanx[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I dont think so. I believe he is Filipino with something else. Although th filipin language does have spanish influence seeing as theywere ruled by the spanish for quite some time so you could say Kirk has some knowledge of spanish. Who knows he probably took it in high school :thumb:

[QUOTE=sMURFJEW]Anyone gonna see that new metallica movie?[/QUOTE]

It'll probably get added to my ever expanding "Wanted To See But Didn't" list :upset:

And in about a year it will get added to my ever expanding "wanted to buy on DVD but wanted to buy Maiden and Metallica CDs more" list

what genre of metal is metallica

Speed/Thrash Metal.

Holy s[size=2]h[/size]it he's part Filipino?

[QUOTE=nirvanafreak]what genre of metal is metallica[/QUOTE]

hahaa :lol: ...come on man you should know that

Metallica rockz! ya imma noob but oh well. wow, i never knew Kirk was part flip, thats crazy. My fav Metallica song has got to be 'Master of Puppets' its awesome! the solo for it at like 5 minutes something is just insane, i still haven't learnt it all yet. i don't really like metallica's new cd (frantic?) but i love all the older ones.

hey guys i was wondering what do u guys think is the worst song in every album

i'll begin

kea= seek and destroy(gets too repetitive)
rtl= escape(it's allright but could be better)
mop- the thing that should not be(it still kicks *** it's just the weakest song in the album)
ajfa- shortest straw(gets too repetitive but it's still good)
black album-the god that failed
load-bleeding me
reload-better than you( i never liked this song)

st.anger- some kind of monster(gets too annoying and repetitive, that's what happened with most songs, they have some cool parts but they get ruined by other bad parts in the songs)

Kill- metal militia
Ride- call of ktulu
Master- NONE
Justice- eye of the beholder
Black- NONE
Load- poor twisted me
Reload- the unforgiven 2
Garage- free speech for the dumb
St.Anger- whole record

Kill 'Em All - Whiplash (Far to overrated)
Ride The Lightning - Escape
Master Of Puppets - Leper Messiah
And Justice For All - The Shortest Straw
Black Album - The Struggle Within
Load - Ronnie (Sounds like an outtake from the Black Album)
Re-Load - Fixxxer (Boring)
St Anger - Purify (Tricky one as they're all ****e)

And Frail! how dare you say Metal Militia is the worst track! it's one of Metallicas best songs!

yeah man and come on the unforgiven 2 is like the best song in reload

^^^^

you think? its easily my least favourite. re-load was such a great album, i think ill put it on now actually :)
