[QUOTE=disturbedrocker4868]yeah u right man also s&m is what i think is the best album they have man[/QUOTE]
Dude have you ever heard the first four albums?s&m is pretty good but i would not call it their best.

[QUOTE=VicRattlehead99]Dude have you ever heard the first four albums?s&m is pretty good but i would not call it their best.[/QUOTE]

Someone else might call it their best though. :thumb:

Anyways, vote here people. You dont have to vote for hetfield, but at least vote for whoever you want to since many people in this thread haven't voted yet. including me. Im waiting to see if hetfield will have enough votes to go on or not. :)

yea i'm waiting to vote. i really want hetfield to make it thru, but i'm deciding between Slash, Hetfield, and Lifeson. Hetfield really is an incredible riff writer, but it's too bad most people here vote for the astonishing soloist rather than the best overall player (which is why i'm stuck between those three) it wouldn't matter so much if Hetfield didn't go another round, but i think he deserves it.

it should be hetfield/hammett combo, because the stuff they put together is absolutely amazing. it should be like that for the young bros. too

I voted Slash in that poll..

[QUOTE=blue3]I voted Slash in that poll..[/QUOTE]

i see, your a big GnR fan

*Voted Hetfield, No questions asked*!

[QUOTE=gocaps99]i see, your a big GnR fan[/QUOTE]Well it was obvious that I'd pick Slash.. but I would've voted Hetfield if Slash wasn't on that list

I voted Hetfield. I know im a Metallica fanboy.

I voted Lifeson.

Because everyone's confused, a spider riff is like this:

-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
---7------5------------------------------------------
---5-8----3-6----------------------------------------
-----6------4----------------------------------------

You finger the chords on the 5th and 4th string with your first and third fingers and the chords on the 6th and 5th with your second and fourth fingers, making changing the chords much faster and smoother.

wtf is a spider riff? :confused:

I just explained it.

*sighs in exasperation*

You use all 4 fingers to play two chords, which I illistrated above. The first is done with the first and the third fingers (aka normally) the second is played a fret higher on the string down with the remaining two fingers.

Well Lars can do whatever he wants cause he founded Metallica. :thumb:

Is it weird that I use my index and pinky to play chords?

Uh, no. What chords?

[QUOTE=lilmetallica]Is it weird that I use my index and pinky to play chords?[/QUOTE]

depends on what chords. if they're 5ths good luck...


and that spider riff thing is really easy. thanks for the tip!

Like power chords cuz every one i know uses like their ring finger and their indexfinger.

[QUOTE=lilmetallica]Like power chords cuz every one i know uses like their ring finger and their indexfinger.[/QUOTE]

that's odd, but do you have small hands? cause if so, that'd make a lot of sense.

Kirk Hammett uses his index and pinky.

Voted for james in the poll :thumb:

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Kirk Hammett uses his index and pinky.[/QUOTE]I didn't know that.. but that's weird cause I use index and ring finger

[QUOTE=blue3]I didn't know that.. but that's weird cause I use index and ring finger[/QUOTE]
Sup julianne :D Actually It helps loads when playing songs like fade to black (you know the part that is fast in the intro) and other solos that require extensive fingering.

Hey!

I never learned Fade to Black yet..

[QUOTE=blue3]I didn't know that.. but that's weird cause I use index and ring finger[/QUOTE]

Thats how most guitar players do it. Including James.
