thats the way. who says us bassists are just boring bastards?
im playing all instruments now trying to get away from that sterotype lol.

Bassists are the best, especially after Cliff Burton \m/
I always thought he was the guitarist though :cool:
So I picked up guitar, when probably, it should have been a bass.

took me a while to find out about cliff, cos i heard lars talk about him on S&M, but in honour, i havent learnt any songs by newsted, because a) most of the time you cant hear them, and b) he strikes me to be a bit of a wanker.

creeping death, for whom the bell tolls and fade to black are the best closely followed by puppets and seek and destroy. **** puppets is a work out for me though lol.

love playing the solo backing riff though, i reckon you can really feel the music and get into it. great stuff

RIP Cliff \m/

These days I've been playing Mama Said a lot. I really like that song, and I've never understood why everyone knows such songs as Nothing Else Matters but not this one. It's a good song too, ya know.

um. ok then.

Metallica Rules All.
They are the greatest band in the whole world.
The only thing i miss is seeing a concert and play all their songs on my guitar.
:evil: :D

youre absolutly right, i can play it too, the first time i heard it it was on the radio and i dindn't thought it was METALLICA but it was,now i play it a lot too.

[QUOTE=Chu]Oh, I am in a band which is at least 10 times more skilled then I am. They want to cover For Whom The Bell Tolls, but since I'm the only guitarist, I can play the whole song, I'm just not sure which guitar I should follow.

Edit: We write/want to play heaps funk metal, a rhythm and lead guitar, but the rhythm guitar is played by the bass (Our bassist is huge, his fingers are like solid sticks, so axe, he can do Anesthesia almost completely)...[/QUOTE]

Id say follow both parts and during the "solos" have the bass cover the rythem. FWTBT is my favorite Metallica song and the first full song I learned.

What about the riff were the two guitars are playing the same 'progression' about two strings apart? I figure I'll play from B/E strings, and the bass can do the D/G strings, does that make sense?

That would probably work. Or if there is a rythem part undeneath it have the bass play that and you just follow the higher part and forget the harmony. My band does this for the harmonized-ish solo at the end of Iron Man. I just pay the more prominant part and it sounds good.

Have the bassist guitar :D. Good song it is, i learnt the whole thing from ear, When my band covers it, we have 2 guitarists. But using the bass as the second guitar will work, except at the melody as said above. peace

I didn't understand a word you just said :D
But yeah, most probably have the bassist as the rhythm (Hell our bassist could do lead on his bass, provided it was 6 strings and tuned to standard guitar, he really is talented).

Edit: We don't really have a vocalist though, but I've been thinking, how would a female vocalist sound (I mean female vocals to For Whom The Bell Tolls btw)? Just to be different really, the whole idea behind our band is to be different...

Trying to revive this thread. C'mon guys.

yea i know that r.i.p came out before black,but do you think they sound the same?did metallica copy if you do think it sounds the same?also on another note,dave mustaine supposudly wrote the main riff for "leper messiah",is this true?

I dont like neither of those songs so I really could care less who copied who. But there are many similar songs from different bands that sound similar and aren't copied. If only megadeth got a good vocalist I would probably have all their albums by now. They should cover MoP maybe? That would be cool.

Dave wrote some stuff for Leper Messiah. He sued Metallica because they didn't give him writing credits.

Dave's voice is unique, the only other vocal style, I think, that would work with 'Deth songs is maybe Death Metal vocals, Opeth style.
I really have grown a huge appreciation for Dave's sound though, it's so unique.

I think both Metallica and Dave's Megadeth both use the same thrash sound based on material from Diamonhead(spelling), Motorhead, perhaps the Misfits, but Dave takes it to a different level, which I can't really find words to describe.
