The song is about a man growing up in society.

I love the lyrics to that song. Not only is it well written but it's got emotion.

That song is brilliant, both voacly and lyricaly. And the music is awesome. (especially the drums. playing soft songs on the drums and still being original is hard, but Lars does it well)

I think the lyrics were pretty obvious.

What an awesome idea to discuss and pay tribute to the masters of metal, the people, the band the music, the phenomenon that is Metallica, as said best by Chris Ingram the author of the book Nothing Else Matters: The Stories Behind The Biggest Songs. I just finished the book and its a must read/have for any Metallica junkie. What do I love about Metallica, the speed, the volume, the lyrics, the simplicity that is at the same time complicated and extremely technical. The time changes, the choruses with melody lines, the intensity of Hetfield, the over the top solos of Kirk, the mouth of Lars, a publicists dream, Robert Trujillo is awesome and Newested did his part, but neither rival Burton the original. Metallica's story is a great one! My favorite Metallica song, having to choose makes me want to cry haha. The black album housed some of the greatest music the world had ever seen and then the load reload era picked up new fans as well and lost some of the old ones. My Favorite Metallica album is probably Master of Puppets, with a manipulation theme or undertone if you will, it is a lyrical/musical masterpeice in the opinion of this guitarist anyway. From the layered spanish guitars on the intro of Battery, to the ferocity of the thrashing guitars and whispered title in Damage Inc. This album is a 100% *** kicker. Okay I have decided ill give ya my favorite from each album and you can tell me what you think.
The Four Horsemen/Kill 'Em All
For Whom the Bell Tolls/Ride the Lightning
Master of Puppets/ Master of Puppets (don't worry Battery gets its props later)
One/Ride the Lightning
Sad But True or Wherever I My Roam/Metallica (aka Black Album)
Ain't My Bitch/Load
The Memory Remains/Re-Load
Crashcourse in Brain Surgery/Garage Days Re-Visited
So What/Garage Inc.
Battery/ S&M (This album is the most powerful music you'll ever hear in your life, the orchestra and the full on amplification is just for lack of words F*ckin Awesome.)
The Unnamed Feeling or Frantic/St. Anger
Well I guess i have taken up enough room on this post. I want to make it clear that I am not knocking anything Metallica has ever made, I love every song on every album just about, these are simply the ones that get themost airtime on my axe, and in my stereo. Hit me back and lets talk some Metallica. I haven't broken the surface on the amount of time i could talk about these guys!! Until next time ill end in Master of Puppets fashion......with Psychotic lughter hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[QUOTE=drayax]hey people...new to the thread,
my fav album song has to be either fade to black or master of puppets.
One is excellent live especially on the S&M album, the orchestra adds so much more power to the song and kirks solos in it dont seem to sound as hollow as they do on the recorded version.
Although St. Anger isnt their best album it doesnt meen it is crap, i dont like to compare the albums from their diferant eras, as far as i am concerned there is the kill 'em all to black album metallica, the load and reload metallica and the St' Anger metallica. it isnt really fair to compare from those and say that one is crap coz it doesnt match up to earlier stuff coz its quite simply a differant style...i hate it when people say that load and reload are crap coz they really rnt, there is sum great songs on those albums (memory remains, mama said, unforgiven 2until it sleeps...need i go on?)

lars is deffinatly my favourite member...his drummin style is so unique. the only dig i have atm is Rob Trujillo he's a talented player he just doesnt really fit in to metallica

anyway im done for now[/QUOTE]
I definately understand what you are saying about Trujillo, he is without a doubt talented, but have you seen them live since hes been with them, he kind of seems alienated on stage. I know that No one did it like clliff, and my era knew Jason Newsted as a face of metallica, and I think that the reason St. Anger had such bad reviews is becasue everybody thought that metallica had faltered and failed, and then they didnt so everyone decided they couldnt be the same so it they must suck because of the changes that the band and its members had been through. Hetfield's stint in rehab, Newsted's departure, Trujillo's induction, and album written completely in odd tunings with no solos and a different vocal styling by James, led to discomfort for some. But people like you and i agree that you can compare now to then because it was a different time with different people and a different Metallica, They are doing there thing and you gotta respect them for it. St. Anger isn't my favorite, but its not crap either.

Disposible heros off the MOP album is such a cool song. I love it, especially the solo.

SonofHetfield, use paragraphs, please use paragraphs.

I sense a new thread regular...

Welcome aboard :thumb:

Is Metallica going on a Summer Sanitarium tour this year?

Isn't it THEIR tour?




/shameless bump due to the 3 metallica threads on page 1

[QUOTE=Metallicat]What do you mean? :confused: The lyrics don't make sense?[/QUOTE]

In unforgiven the words just don't flow together as i would like them to, sure they make sense if you grab the general gist of the idea but these lyrics feel taped together for me, as in the wording is kind of weird and doesn't feel right

since that guy said his favorite songs from each album i'll say mine and everyone who'd like to is welcome

rtl- fade to black

metallica is not dead.
when you have millions of fans that still buy your old albums and new
and you have millions of dollars due tou your still-going success and you are still a band making albums after so many years, i dont think that your band is dead.

metallica is awesome

I have a question...
Does anyone have any tips on how to do quick palm muting? The reason i post here is because the songs that have real fast palm muting im working on are One and Master of Puppets. If anyone has any tips like how to hold to pick to make it the easiest and tips to prevent any bad habits, that'd be killer.

KEA - Metal Militia
RTL - Fight Fire with Fire
MOP - Sanitarium
AJFA - One
Metallica - Of Wolf and Man
Load - King Nothing
ReLoad - Devils Dance
S&M - Of Wolf and Man
St . Anger - Frantic

hold the pick right

ur pick should be under ur thumb like it's gotta fit perfectly and use ur index finger so the pick wont fall , and just let the edge go out(obviously)

try looking for some pics at google of how to hold ur pick right cos it's hard to explain and just practice man it takes a while to get good a picking and some songs are tricky like battery or blackened :thumb:

KEA- No Remorse
RTL-Creeping Death
MOP- Orion
AJFA- Dyers Eve
Black- Through the never
Load- This album blows, but I guess I would choose Until It Sleeps
Reload- It's so bad I can't name one 1/2 decent song on here
S&M- Call of Kutulu
ST. SUCK- You're kidding me

KEA - the four horsemen
rtl - creeping death
mop - damage inc
ajfa - blackend
black - enter sandman
load - ?
re load - fuel
s&m - master of puppets
st. anger - st. anger

anyways.. this thread gets so boring..

MOP-Master of Puppets
AJFA-One
Black-Nothing Else Matters
Load-Hero of the day
Reload-Unforgiven 2

^^^ you're the first person i know that says the old cd's are ****

Jaymz said it himself that he was writing it as if it was a story so i'm not sure how you see it doesn't run together but it's all good.

A reason why it may be hard to follow is because of the changes in his aging. You just have to catch on that he's talking about himself as the little boy, then later he'll say he's talking about being a young man, then later a man and older man. He's picking out parts of his life but they're not random, they all go in order.

If you're talking about your whole life it's not going to all blend perfectly together like what happened in one day, but it should still make sense all the same. this is just my opinion of course.

KEA - Seek And Destroy
RTL - For Whom The Bell Tolls
MOP - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
AJFA - To Live Is To Die
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Load - Mama Said
ReLoad - Fuel
S&M - No Leaf Clover
St. Anger - Some Kind Of Monster
