Looks like Kirk HAD to include some Wah there.

I can't get it to play.

haha, yes he had to really.

but that bit actually works well in this song.

It's too small.

[QUOTE=Kyle]I can tell, Santanas tone is instantly recognisable to me. I never assumed Kirk had lost it but it is nice to see him expressing himself again.[/QUOTE]

yeahah. kirk is awesome. probably the most unchanging member of metallica...hes great.

He's not that good, uses the same scale for a lot of his solos and abuses the Wah.

that's just how kirk is. so He likes the wah...that doesn't mean
he's not a good player,

I can't wait for a new wah solo on the next album

^ that will spawn another three pages of people going "oh cool when does it come out"

I think he's made the least out of Metallica, apart from Rob.

oops

yea did he get paid like one mill to join?

I just heard my first Metallica song - it was Master of Puppets. I'm listening to it now, it's real good.

Yea we love them.

anything you want to know about the band?

[QUOTE=brittallica]Yea we love them.

Well, to be honest I know nothing of them....which is bad. What other songs do you think I should listen to? Thank you. :D

[QUOTE=brittallica]oops

Yeah. He should've taken it and quit. Then joined again.

I agree. If he doesn't begin to experiment with his solos they will begin to really bore me. But in saying that hes still a reasonably good guitarist, just not as good as James :D

One of the reasons his solos weren't all that on Reload ect. was because he was forced to make up one a day. Normally it takes him a week or two to write them so he was under pressure.

His solos started to bore on me on And Justice For All...

my friend mistaken metallica for santana. i was verry pissed at him. how the **** can you mistake metallica for santana?

maybe the recent colaboration with santana confused him.

Or the fact that Kirk looked exactly like Santana on S&M?

the song was enter the sandman, he mistaken

ok that's a little stupid

edit:directed to the enter sandman confusion.

you should shoot him

[QUOTE=guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]the song was enter the sandman, he mistaken[/QUOTE]

Yes, Enter The Sandman.

Thats [b]exactly[/b] how it goes.

That's pretty bad. I think Kirk is a fatastic guitarist, but he might need some direction.
My top 3 fav solo's are from the AJFA so I would have to disagree with that opinion.

One
Blackened
Title track 1 and 2

does anyone still want that old cover?

Title track 1 and 2?

Theres only one...

most of the best metallica's solos were written by D. Mustaine, altough the catchiest were written by Kirk.

I recently heard Sultans of Swing, by the Dire Straits, the last solo of that song have the same progression as Fade to Black last solo( vice versa).

Umm...you are completely wrong. Sultans of Swing is in a completely different key than Fade To Black.

Sultans=Dm
Fade=Bm

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Umm...you are completely wrong. Sultans of Swing is in a completely different key than Fade To Black.

Sultans=Dm

yes :upset: , i was a little confused on the vocabulary, my intention was that the solos sound alike ,is almost the same finger movement.

I only liked Kirk's solos for a handful of songs.
But that song with Santana is beautiful....

I just heard that song with santana, and I gotta say it was pretty **** good. Im assuming last solo/part was kirk's. I'd actually like to see kirk do a solo album. That would be pretty interesting. But then again it would be awesome if james did a solo album too.

I think James is more suited to solo material. He would easily be capable of recording something the same way Trent Reznor does, as he can play drums, bass, guitars and sing. All of them well.

Kirk may also be able to do this, but I've never seen it.

:smash:

Ever seen Kirk's traffic school song? Not so good...

Ha... That was funny, it was so bad.

When did Mustaine leave?

[QUOTE=NightHorse]When did Mustaine leave?[/QUOTE]
Before Kill Em All was released, so before 1983.

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Before Kill Em All was released, so before 1983.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure he left [I]in[/I] 1983.

He was kicked out on April 11th 1983.

Finally I managed to buy the MOP guitar book and I can't stop trying to learn battery.
Interesting enough kirk's soloing style isn't too far from my own, but he has the ability to go from fast to slow back to fast. I, on the other hand, prefer to just shred 'till my fingers bleed. Or until someone gets bored of it, which ever comes first. ;)

I don't know why but I have this crazy obsession with buying guitar books from bands I really like. Slayer being the exception because ebay ppl really overcharge them and they're also hard to find being that they are out of print.

As much as I love Slayer I don't find learning their guitar appealing at all.
