Well that's good for them. They've been busy for a long time and I think they deserve to have a break.

I'm kind of skeptical (spelling?) about their upcoming album. I really hope they step it up from St. Anger and bring back the good old days of Metallica, just the way the true fans want it to be.

What do you guys think of Hetfields ESP "Truckster"?

[QUOTE=RustedPieces]What do you guys think of Hetfields ESP "Truckster"?[/QUOTE]


I Think he should've come out with a signature explorer, but i think it's cool, it's just kinda weird seeing him with a les paul and not an explorer.
Is kirk going to make a new signature model?

Review:The four Horsemen

The four horsemen is the most complex song off their first album,Kill em all. This song also has a lot of history behind it. When dave mustaine was in the band he came up with a song and lyrics called the mechnix, which is about a job of dave's where he was a mechanic and supposedly had sex with a girl in her car that he was fixing. When dave was kicked out of the band, James decided to change the lyrics and add more to the song. He changed the name to the four horsemen. Dave mustaine has the mechanix on Megadeth's first cd: Killing is my business.

The intro is a quick little punk sounding riff which then leads to a sort of slower version of galloping picking. The main riff is a cool sounding palm muted zeros and open power chords. The chorus riff is simply power chords. This whole cycle repeats again and then it goes into a very cool sounding part of the song. It's fast plam muted E string and then plays G to G# on the A string.Then it goes into a part of the song that was added when dave left the band.It is probably one of the coolest sounding riffs ever. It is like a litttle scale followed by power chords. Then it is just plam mutes with open powerchords. then the song goes into a slow interlude which was also added to the song. Kirk adds a solo in this part of the song. It Then it goes back into the Fast palm mutee E string and then the G-G# power chords on the A string. Then it goes back into the main riff and plays the main riff and chorus,then goes back into the Fast palmuted e string and G-G# power chords on the A string, Then Kirk plays a dave mustaine solo to finish off the song. The Lyrics seem much more "metal" than the Mechanix lyrics. The lyrics in this song are more of a power metal band kind of lyrics, different from the rest of the cd.

"By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company

The horsemen are drawing nearer
on leathere steeds they ride
they've com to take your life
Off to the dead of night
with the four horsemen ride
or choose you fate and die"

The Best part of the song is the part that starts at 2:03 and ends at 3:25
That riff just gives me chills down my spine.
The first solo is very fluid and fits well with the song, it's not as technical and just plain fast shredding like the other solo is. The second solo is a nice way to finish of the song, just a plain thrash speed solo.

Overall I would give this song a 10 out of 10
I think it is just perfect in every way. The best song on the Kill em all album by far.

Good review, would've been better if the bulk of it wasn't just about what chords are played.

I've spent most of the day listening to And Justice For All. I don't know about you guys, but I think that this album is incredible.

Who else thinks One is one of Metallica's best songs?

I think the Frayed ends of sanity is the best song off that album, or maybe ..and justice for all. can't decide. One is a great song aswell

I thought that Frayed Ends of Sanity was one of the weaker songs on the album, actually. The best songs off of that album are Blackened and One.

Yea thats what i thought when i first got that cd, but then i listened to it and the riffs are just amazing, they get stuck in my head very easily especially the riffs at 3:20-4:25

Sorry, but you just can't compare the Blackened riffs to any other riffs on that album. They are complex and awesome. Plus the solo makes me want to throw up the horns every time I hear it.

Blackened has a lot of good riffs aswell, the solo is just incredible in that song

The riff at 5:00-5:10 is really cool

I take it that you are listening to it now. So am I. :thumb:

I am now listening to the shortest straw, this song also has great riffs

....And Justice for All is Metallica's best song. If i could only listen to one song for the rest of eternity, that would be it.

That's a **** good song, and I was actually just listening to it. I wouldn't pick that as my one and only Metallica song to listen to. I would probably pick Blackened.
