Even though I don't really like ...AJFA, I think it's James' best vocal performance.
It just goes so well with the dark music, it's all about violence :evil:

Good ****.

i can listen to eye of the beholder up to the chorus which is just a mess. all the other songs are fantastic. i think of the pre black albums albums ...AJFA has aged the best. RTL especially sounds very 80's, mostly cos of escape.

But one has gotta be one of there best full on guitar songs man

I thought the chorus to that was awesome.

Everyone has different tastes... I loved Ktulu and Orion but my friends hate them.

I love those 2 also. Both fun to play.

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]From AFJA my fav would have to be The Frayed Ends of Sanity. That's such a cool song IMO. The only songs i skip in that album are Eye of the Beholder, The shortest straw and To Live is to Die. Other wise AJFA is pure gold. No wait... Platinum.[/QUOTE]

Waaaaaaaa!!
You skiped Eye of the beholder. THATS A GREAT SONG AND SOME GREAT LYRICS TO GO WITH IT.
To live is to die well do you like intrumentals?(that song rules)pure gold:)

I'm just starting to learn Ktulu, it's a challenge.

Yeah the opening bit's probably the hardest Metallica rhythm.

[QUOTE=Happy]Yeah the opening bit's probably the hardest Metallica rhythm.[/QUOTE]

Most definantly. I recently mastered Fade to Black and then The Unforgiven.

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]I have audio of it. It wasn't on nov. 1 and 2, it was November 13th and 15th. I have the audio of the one on november 15th. I can reupload it tonight since I gotta go to class soon, but if you want, just leave your email and I'll get it to you tonight.[/QUOTE]

[email]chrism3ister@hotmail.com[/email] send it here thanks man!also when i said 1st and 2nd i ment gig and not november but now that i saw it again it looks like november:lol: thanks again man

[QUOTE=Happy]Do they have to be different chords (e.g. not all barre chords)?[/QUOTE]

When I play them I have to bar them, but yes, I think 6 different chords.

you all should check this site out.... [url]http://www.metallicaworld.co.uk/demos.htm[/url]


it has some good information that i never knew.





EDIT: Does anyone by chance have any of those bootlegs it shows on there?

[QUOTE=iluvkirkhammett]I'm just starting to learn Ktulu, it's a challenge.[/QUOTE]

That's gonna be a challenge. Isn't the whole thing about 9 min long?

[QUOTE=BassMasterMike88]That's gonna be a challenge. Isn't the whole thing about 9 min long?[/QUOTE]
It's pretty repetitive though.

The intro to call is actually easy when you get used to it. The second part with the sweep sounds awesome though. And if you can do Call you can do most of the rythmn for Hangar 18

Yer, Ktulu is nowhere near Tallicas hardest rhythm.

What is their hardest rhythmn in your opinion? I think it would have to be... that really fast part in One. Or And Justice for All. Just because it's soo fudging long.

I have to say Dyers Eve fast riff, Battery main riff, Disposable Heroes open E bit, Master of Puppets main riff. They're not as hard as stuff like Racer Xbut they're not easy either, especially to get PERFECT, I'm definately a perfectionist when it comes to guitar playing.

I never fully got the Blackened main riff . I stopped trying a few months ago and never got back to it though..Same with the Dyers Eve fast riff..

How could I forget Blackened, one of my favourite songs.

Yeah i forgot the Master of Puppets riff. Damn that's hard

Ok, sent! Enjoy. :D

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]Yeah i forgot the Master of Puppets riff. Damn that's hard[/QUOTE]

Most of the people who I know say they can do it dont play

0-1 ect but they play

1-1 or 0-0 .

I play it the correct way and at full speed :cool:
It's really not that difficult.

[QUOTE=Happy]I play it the correct way and at full speed :cool:

I used to play it wrong but after getting my MOP book I relearned it and can get it pretty damn close to normal speed.

Most people get caught up with the difficulty of MOP, but try learning Disposable Heroes or Leper Messiah. Those have some really freaky time signatures.

I'm fine with both those songs except for the solos.

....you said Ktulu was hard....

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]....you said Ktulu was hard....[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's harder than the MOP intro.

I love playing the sweeping part of LM. It sounds so good and is helping me get better at sweeping.


Hey I just got a crazy idea that might sound really good if it works. I want to try to harmonize that sweeping part in 3rds or 6ths just to find out how it sounds. Just gotta figure out the theory a bit...........:D

what would be a challenging middle ground song to learn by Metallica, I can play Unforgiven, Motorbreath but not alot more metallica except riffs. Anyone help me out?

The solo from Ktulu is hard, but MOP is definantly harder. Then again I've only been playing for a little while, but nothing beats practising for at least 2 hours every single day.

I do 2 hours a day in my sleep :p

When I first started I was practicing (this is no bullsh*t) for 16 hours a day.

I purposely got on Independent study just so I would have more time for my guitar.:lol:

Bleh. I'm a bassist, and I play the 'spider' riff in MoP up to speed. I do it with fingers or pick, but with a pick, I don't strictly downpick... So I do it with alternate picking if I play it on guitar too.

Learnt No Leaf Clover on guitar the other day though. 'Tis lovely :)

:smash:

I wouldn't mind learning that song along with Hero of the day.

I do have my occasional desire to play something other than thrash.:p

I love a lot of the slower Metallica songs.

There's a nice No Leaf Clover Guitar Pro file, with the orchestra in it. I think there's one wrong chord in it, but you'll spot it.

Hero of the Day is nice to play too. I only learnt the intro/verse riff on guitar. But I know the bass part... So I can probably figure the guitar part out for the rest, or at least od it by ear.

Well when my Pell grant comes in, in January, I can buy a computer of my own so that way I can enter into comps and use my guitar pro program.

I miss having my GP.:upset: I was able to get S&D down really well because of it. I love the ability to slow down the songs and get the the timing of it better.

I've done that before, sounds cool.

[QUOTE=lightningmetal666]I love playing the sweeping part of LM. It sounds so good and is helping me get better at sweeping.[/QUOTE]

That use to be my favorite Metallica solo. Back when I didnt play guitar.

Do you have to sweep pick it or you can also alternate it ?
