[QUOTE=R. Blythe]....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.[/QUOTE]

Eh, I disagree. It's a great song, it's just I'd rather listen to Fade to Black for eternity

What does everyone think of my review fo the four horsemen?

it's on page 875

rob is a great bass player he has an awesome stage presence. MoP, Unforgiven, and For whom the bell tolls are the best songs. Do u really think St. Anger is Nu Metal? I dont think so but I dont know what actually makes Nu metal nu metal so if someone could educate me that would be cool.

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]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?[/QUOTE]
Well of course it is. I love the frayed ends of sanity more though..

One of the best songs on their best album. My favorites are Blackened and Dyers Eve though, they bookmark the album so perfectly.

I liked it. I really like the song, but I don't think I'd give it a full 10. It's one of my favorites on KEA, but I don't think it quite deserves a full 10. Maybe a 9.5 or a 9.0 at the lowest

9.75 for me. Very close to my favorite from KEA.

Thanks. That song to me is like fade to black for you, If i could only listen to one song for eternity it would be the four horsemen

The whole KEA album to me, sounds like he has hair in his mouth :\ My favorite would be ...And Justice For All.

what is your favorite?

It would be a tossup between The Four Horsemen or Whiplash, depending on how thrashy I'm feeling.

Mine would be a toss up with metal militia and no remorse for second place, behind the four horsemen.

Seek & Destroy is a classic song too.

Seek and Destroy is pretty good. I'm a big fan of Fight Fire With Fire.

ok well i'll do a review for fade to black

Fade to Black was written in the early 1980s and was released on the 1984 album, Ride the Lightning. It was written after the band's equipment was stolen (I think on a northeast leg, maybe in Boston) and James was depressed about losing his favorite amp with a certain tone he loved (I think it was a marshall stack). I might be completely wrong about James' equipment, but that was the story that I know.

It starts out with a soft, mellow acoustic intro played by James. A few seconds into the acoustic, Kirk begins one of his more soulful and incredible solos. Following the solo, another acoustic riff by James comes into the song (Am, C, G, Em). The interesting thing that I like about this song is that there really isn't a chorus with lyrics, just distorted guitars and heavy drums. Honestly, the little riff right after the chorus I don't really consider a solo. It's kind of like the riffs on For Whom the Bell Tolls, it's just a quick riff a little different that's sort of solo-y but not quite. The "chorus" is followed by another verse of depressing lyrics that sound like someone who wants to commit suicide wrote them.

"Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me.
Deathly lose, this can't be real.
Cannot stand this pain I feel.
Emptiness is filling me,
To the point of agony.
Growing darkness taking dawn,
I was me but now he's gone."

Metallica really came through for the last few minutes of the song. Post 2nd chorus, a brand new heavier riff along with a verse. Fading towards the end, there is a quite "goodbye" followed by the coolest melodic guitar riff I have ever heard. It includes heavy distortion, a great combination of guitar work and overall just amazing tone and creativity. After they finish the whole riff once, they begin again and start a wailing Kirk solo. The solo is full of quick finger movements and triads and was named the 26th greatest guitar solo ever recorded according to Guitar World. These solos are the ones that make me angry when people say "Kirk sucks" or "He's just a shredder." All three "solos" in this song are full of soul, talent, and skill.

Overall, obviously, this song is an 11 out of 10. It combines the softer, quiter talent in Metallica along with the hardcore incredible skill that Metallica consists of.

By the way, if anyone didn't know that's my favorite Metallica song.

Nice one.

Nice review, That riff at 3:56 is one of the coolest riffs i have ever heard in my Fu[B]c[/B]kin life

My favorite lyrics in that song are
no one but me can save myself but it's too late
now i can think, think why i should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
but death greets me warm,now i will just say good bye
Goodbye"

Coolest lyrics ever.
I would give the song a 10/10

ok guys, i'm off to bed. goodnight :wave:

U know what im sick of. everyone saying Metallica are sellouts because they sued napster. I live in Oregon and all i hear about is how people hate them and how they suck. Am i missing something or is everyone crazy ive listened to Metallica since i was born. in 84 when i was born the only way i would go to sleep is when my parents would play RTL or kill em all. Music has gone way downhill and im sick of all these people who take what they hear on the news and think that they are right. Metallica did NOT sue napster they started to and dropped the lawsuit...sorry i had to get that out of my system some people just make me mad. When Metallica releases their next album i hope it Knocks all of those boybands off the top just like st anger did

...sorry for the rant

"Sellouts?, the only thing we sellout is the stadium everytime we play!"

[QUOTE=madlyinangerwithu] When Metallica releases their next album i hope it Knocks all of those boybands off the top just like st anger did[/QUOTE]

That's an awesome attitude.

On these boards, you'll find [i]real[/i] fans of music. You came to the right place.

S&M is a great CD i love that cd, i think almost all of the song on their are as good if not better then the originals, do u guys think there will be another S&M? even without Michael Kamen?

Sick review Gocaps :)
We're pretty much on par for liking that song, I think.
Although, sometimes I really like (prefer?) Orion.
