If kirk stopped using his wah pedal, his solos wouldn't be the same.they'd be **** or they just wouldn't be kirk solos.we'd all be like "damn...it just ain't right..."

No, I'm not saying to stop using wah, just to keep it in moderation.

Maybe if he did cooler stuff with it than to just use it as a filter, that might help.

Good point.

A bit away from the subject, has anyone heard of a band called Apocalyptica?
They had this album of entirely metallica covers on calssical instruments.and all the other albums had at least two metallica covers. I was gonna pick it up but i didn't want to miss out on Aerosmith:Gold

I've heard of them but never really checked them out. Are they any good?

I don't mind them, nothing like the real thing though.

Apocalyptica was great, but only when they made covers.

I suppose they're alright.i only heard one of their metallica covers which was the unforgiven but that was so long ago i can't remember it.i think they also cover other bands like sepultura.i'll have to download a few of their songs.

Well if you like 'tallica covers, check out the punk tribute to metallica. The cover that Agent Orange did of SnD is just :eek: .

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]Apocalyptica was great, but only when they made covers.[/QUOTE]

i love apocalyptica's original stuff.
it's cool cuz their covers are split up like...1 cello plays the vocal line, another plays the lead guitar stuff, and another plays the rhythm...

i think kirk should experiment more. his playing style is already pretty limited to warp-speed pentatonic box patterns. he could use something other than wah live. just my opinion, because sometimes it just sounds...so bad :upset:

^ finally someone that thinks like me :thumb:

Read the MOP Guitar World. It has a interview where Kirk says somnething
to the effect of "I'm taking Jazz Lessons to improve my chops"

That'd be cool. I mean Chris Poland and Alex Skolnick were pretty big fans of Jazz. And they were some legendary leads guitarists. Skolnick more so of course.

Man I got to listen to them both in Lamb of Gods Ashes of the Wake and they fu*kin' rocked!!!

If kirk could learn to play like that, and lars stopped being a dick, metallica would own once again.

Chris Poland, Alex Skolnick, and of course Willie Adler and Mark Morton.
My fav. song by them so far. That and 11th hour.


Any ways, does anyone know what the name of metallica's new album is gonna be?

Not that I know of. But according to Lars, there's going to be lots of violins playing, though I think he was joking. And Kirk said, [I]"Actually, this is more like Jurassic metal."[/I]
So maybe it'll be more like older Metallica.

Please tell me that they're not going to try and do neoclassical sh*t. :(

Sorry but the whole jurassic comment mixed with the violin one has lead me to believe that.

I recently found a metallica song on my downloading program called vampira's sorrow.it says that its a demo for the new album.its instrumental and the quality is poor.I dunno what to make of it.

Take a look.

It's a fake.

Even before I checked out that site I would've said that it's a fake.

It doesn't strike me as something Metallica would do.

Man, MX tabs being shut down has me in the dumps. I was watching the south park movie, and I want to learn the guitar for [I]Hell Isn't Good.[/I] That song that James sings when Kenny goes to hell.

911tabs is still up. It has some good sites left in there.

Well before it got shut down, I managed to get tabs for Cheech and Chongs Earache My Eye.

I want to learn that south park song as well. That and timmy's lords of the underworld bass riff.

I didn't think that thing was real.just the title gives enough of a clue.Vampira's Sorrow.maybe if they'd decided to turn into a goth band it would fit.

Exactly what I was thinking, but I've seen the goth pic of Kirk so I wasn't sure. :confused:

I've been gone for awhile. MXtabs is down? That legal thing finally took place? Bummer.

Yeah, sucks eh? There are a few others left but god knows for how long...

How exactly are tabs illegal? :confused:

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]How exactly are tabs illegal? :confused:[/QUOTE]

It's basically the same deal as P2P programs.

There's tab books around that cost however much and people are just not buying them anymore. It's a bit of a stupid thing really, as it's not so crippling as the MP3 business, but what can you do?

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]How exactly are tabs illegal? :confused:[/QUOTE]
They're not. The majority are completely legal.

:mad:

[QUOTE=Deimus]They're not. The majority are completely legal.

Mmmm, yes indeed.

It's stupid to think that they'll all be taken down, though. Tabs were sacred for me when I was doing my music exams.

same for me

dont no to tab out or pay like 50 bucks:angry: :mad:

We must fight!

NP: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge. OMG! THEY'RE SO METAL \m/~_~\m/

Ill tell you what sucks worse than tab's being illegal, me getting laryngitis 3 days before a gig :smash:

That does suck... but not as bad as ME NOT GETTING MY TABS!:mad:

*cries*

People are getting emo over no tabs in the Metallica thread someone fetch a mod !!! 'runs out onto street to look for mod"

que?
