whoa the thought of up stroking MOP is daunting to me haha, Yeah nah my point wasn't 'how do you downpick it' i just find it amazing that even after 30+ years behind a guitar he still downpicks speedy songs, and yeah Battery, Blackened, Hit the lights etc, are impossible to downpick...

If you think that galloping verse riff in Battery is downpicked then you need your ears checked...

Err, yeah... Battery downpicked?! Where'd some of you get that idea?

What does galloping mean in this case? Is it the chuggy chuggy part or what?

it's the palm muted open strings that sound like horses galloping.

They palm mute a hell of a lot don't they?

Yes.

By galloping I mean the triplets on the palm muted e string in the verse riff.

God this site is running slowwwwww, the galloping part for any n00b's out there is the riff situated at 1.07 in the studio version of 'Battery'.

Are gallops triplets? I always thought they were 2 16ths followed by an 8th over and over.

Oh hell yeah especially On Load & Reload.

Galloping is dominated heavily by Iron Maiden.

[QUOTE=Doctor Night]Galloping is dominated heavily by Iron Maiden.[/QUOTE]
Is there any maiden songs without galloping? :smash:

What isn't dominated by Maiden? :p

You're correct. I know someone who calls them triplets because they're grouped in 3's but refuses to accept he's wrong. Triplets are of course 3 notes played evenly.
I sometime's call them triples or just gallop.

I neva really cared to think about it:confused: . im a bass player so i dont play the same as the guitar. :thumb: whoa, im watching the san diego live **** concert. kirks solo is fukin mad. but i wanna know wat deep purple song they play in this solo. again i cant find the tabs for it any where, cause i dont know wat song it is. any one know?

That's your best bet...I think that's all he did anyway

lol, this live **** concert in san diego, there asking ppl about the tour they did with ozzy, and every one says there here to see metallica.lol. wen there asked why, all of em say "cause there fuking better" .lol.

Well back then it was the truth, Ozzy only had Randy Rhoads, while Metallica had...well Metallica.

wait, ...that was the master of puppets tour. i thought randy died in 1982?

[QUOTE=Magero666]wait, ...that was the master of puppets tour. i thought randy died in 1982?[/QUOTE]

Yes it was, but i was talking overall, imo the only good thing in Ozzy's solo work it was Randy Rhoads.

I know it doesn't look like i was talking overall, but i think this clears my comment.

Umm so I can expect this around December 2009 in England?

New album! **Does the happy dance!** And usually they come out pretty quickly here in Australia after you American's get them, so I can expect it the week after the week of the 16th! WOOT!

Dont albums come out in Europe before North America ?

No. We get Metallica albums b4 everyone else. Yeah!

American artists always release albums in america first, same Australian artists release their albums in Australia first, Europeans in Europe... etc.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Dont albums come out in Europe before North America ?[/QUOTE]
Not normally.

It depends on the record label, not the band. All Nuclear Blast artists CD's get released in Europe first.

I'm putting money away for it now, it'll come out around the same time as I have to renew my MetClub membership.

Does anyone remember who to make the check out to? I forget!

Lars Ulrich?

haha. Just get it from Metallica.com They'll deliver it on the release date. Of course you have to pay more... so i think i'll head down to good ol' walmart

Im not even really antipating their next album. I was mega excited for the release of St. Anger, and all i did was laugh when i listened to it. The same [b]bar chords[/b] over and over again...

Although the reintroduction of solos does give it some hope...

If you listen to St. Anger in it's entirety, it's actually really good, and if you think that Metallica was almost no more before this album, it's good.

I have a new appreciation for it after seeing SKOM.
