wtf man :p

Meh, my hair's nice and long :cool:

ok, since we're talking about [I]hair[/I], mine is basicly an orange mop but only reaches the bottom of my neck. However, i have a friend who can put his bangs in his mouth.

Rob Trujillo's hair reminds me of a banshee.

It's too bad that Newsted > Burton on creativeness of basslines.

Edit: My hair fully pulled down to my eyes reaches my pupil :(

[QUOTE=vashts80]It's too bad that Newsted > Burton on creativeness of basslines.[/QUOTE]
Newsted only made up 2 basslines in his entire career with Metallica.

He was credited with three songs in his career. However, I'm pretty sure he wrote a lot more basslines for Load/ReLoad. King Nothing, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me....

Jason wrote a ton of basslines, I just think Cliff Burton was better even if he wasn't as creative

I disagree that Newsted is more creative.. But meh.. Opinions are like spatulas, everyone has one :thumb:

My hair goes past my waist... AT THE FRINGE :cool:

Edit: I'm in a Load mood today :D
NP: 2x4 - Metallica

Newsted [b]was[/b] more creative. If you look at Cliff's lines, most of them followed the guitar. The only ones I can think of that don't were Anesthesia (obviously), Bells, and Ktulu, and some of Orion. A lot of Newsted's lines follow the guitar as well, but then again he switched it up a lot of times (Bleeding Me, Devil's Dance, Outlaw Torn, King Nothing, etc)

I'm not going to argue that Cliff's bass didn't follow the guitars (Because it did, plain and simple). But I think he added some simple things (Like Battery where he does an Octave higher I think? and Leper Messiah where he just goes off (At like the 3:36 mark, listen carefully, he's so pro)) I think he just adds to the song.

And what about Ride The Lightning?! I don't think the song would be as good without the bass, but maybe that's just me.

Edit: I was listening to Load, but you put me in a Master of Puppets mood :p

I don't like THTJB but you're right on the other 2.

THTJB is a brilliant song!! the solo is crazy, the chorus is catchy as ****, and i have nothing against the do do do do do do at the start! :O

Cliff was God. isn't the bass supposed to sorta follow guitar? that's how we
do it in my bands (to a extent)

my mom hates my hair and it isn't really that big...it's cool
when I post up my setup I'll show you

Does anyone know a website where I can download some live metallica show bootlegs?

I've searched the net high and low with minimal success. Can someone please direct me to a few links?

thank you

unless you want to use an illegal download thingy.
when i write songs the bass normally follows guitar.

Rob is awesome, I like him more than Jason.

[QUOTE=Happy]Rob is awesome, I like him more than Jason.[/QUOTE]

Only thing is now, there is noone to sing the quality last chorus on creeping death. Like on Live Sh*t, Jason sings the last chorus with that really raspy voice.


But still Rob > Jason

24 hours after registration. Or you could always hi-jack a thread, not good practice tho.

good evening everybody

Guys, that's spam. Quit the posts that just say a basic "hi."

livemetallica.com or allmetallica.com work pretty well. try them out

[QUOTE=exup]the big band stuff is ruïn all the good music[/QUOTE]

What are you talking about? The orchestra made quite a few of their songs even better.

Some examples:

1. Call of the Ktulu
2. Of Wolf and Man
3.The Thing That Should Not Be
4. For Whom The Bell Tolls
5. No Leaf Clover
6. Devils Dance


Sorry but the songs really came alive with the orchestra. I will give you that the orchestration for Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets did suck though.

MOP's orchestration was good IMO. I didn't like Sad But True.

[QUOTE=Happy]MOP's orchestration was good IMO. I didn't like Sad But True.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but i thought that the orchestra took away the raw heavyness that MOP has. Still a great song tho. Yes Sad but True was not too good really.

the only S&M song i like is no leaf clover

[QUOTE=Whale and Wasp]the only S&M song i like is no leaf clover[/QUOTE]
Best song on S&M.

[QUOTE=Whale and Wasp]the only S&M song i like is no leaf clover[/QUOTE]

What about Fuel and Memory Remains, i thought they were done quite well.

Fuel is another good example. If you watch the documentary of the project, you'll see Michael Kamen trying to get the band to listen to james and kirk and come in after them. Metallica is used to just lettin' things hang and they have to be counted in for this production. It's kinda funny watching the players mess up their parts.


How great is Michael Kamen's ear. He found that 1 person out of a hundred was off by a half step. I probably wouldn't have caught that and I have great ears.

I think it's a natural talent. Thank god I don't possess it for listening to GCSE music ensembles.

No Leaf Clover rocks. I love that song.

I've noticed you guys mentioning the GCSE. What is that exactly? I'm just a community college student so I don't really know.
