Battery is not the easiest of Tallica songs on bass.

And in response to 'Who would make a good open act for Metallica', I would have to say CKY and Corrosion Of Conformity. Are COC still going? I think they are but feel free to enlighten me if I'm wrong.

Does anybody know where to find a pic of Master of Puppets that fit the dimensions?

IMO, its enter sandman.

you can just download a pic and resize it.

[QUOTE=wicked_child]IMO, its enter sandman.[/QUOTE]

yeah enter sandman is very easy but i also find Creeping death basslines very easy

Gocaps is lazy.

To the thing about who should open for Metallica:

[SIZE=4]TESTAMENT[/SIZE]

The bands are a lot alike, and they both kick huge amounts of ***. If any of you 'Tallica fans haven't checked out Testament yet, do so ASAP.

Thanks, I'll check em out :thumb:

Testament would also be very cool. Metallica don't seem very good at finding opening bands.

About the guy wanting to play Battery - break it down into smaller sections, and learn them, then string them together. Also, if you don't use 3 fingers on your plucking hand, it can be quite a workout :)

However, seeing as posting is boring apparently, you'll never see this, or be able to ask me more about specific bits you need help with... :rolleyes:

The Metallica FA written by Jason is a brilliant read. I highly recommend you all go read it :thumb:

Metallica should open for Testament; because they are far far far better.

:lol: Best laugh of the day! Thank man :thumb:

Testament might open for megadeth on there new tour along with children of bodom.

Read it, nothing new, good read though.

Testament would be a good opener, yes, but Anthrax would be better IMO.


EDIT: to LarsAgi007 --- have you blocked me on MSN? :confused:

Someone who won't take Metallica's spotlight would be an ideal opener. Some of this new Metalcore stuff could be quite cool. Or maybe someone like Mudvayne?

No, no and no. Well maybe KSE, but I think Metallica should have thrash bands opening for them. And Mudvayne opened for them on the Sanitarium Tour 2003 along with a bunch of nu-metal bands.

I see no reason to have to have pure thrash bands open for Metallica. Metallica isn't even a thrash band anymore (About half the set or less is going to be from their old school days, yes?). Metalcore is popular at the moment, which would create a crowd pull. Just my view.

To be honest, I don't hugely like Mudvayne, I just love watching Ryan's playing on their videos! :P

They pretty much sell out whereever they go, they don't need to draw any more crowds. Plus, they only play like 3 or 4 newer songs, the majority of a Metallica concert is the thrashier stuff.

Yes, really. I'd hate to see Testament or Anthrax have the shame of opening for Metallica. And I'd hate to have to pay $55 to see them.

Metallica really don't need a support act, they're so huge. I think they should do a solo tour and extend their playing time for another hour.

Unnecessary...

Anyways, big deal. Someone is going first, the other second. They're still both there, and you're still going to get an awesome show.

It's just kind of customary to have an opening band. I would rather see Metallica play 3 and a half hours a night, but it's not happening.

They have in the past (ie. Live Sh!t, San Diego)

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]They have in the past (ie. Live Sh!t, San Diego)[/QUOTE]
What about cunning stunts, they had no opening act did they?

I don't think so.

Where are Metallica touring now if they're even touring at all?

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]Where are Metallica touring now if they're even touring at all?[/QUOTE]
They're not touring right now. They're on vacation then they're going to start recording sometime in 2006.

I suggest everyone go read heavyriva's article on metallica.
It's good stuff, very informative.(although i knew most of the stuff)

Can you put a link to it or at least where to go.
