[QUOTE=Happy]Exactly. They chose more popular artists to get more viewers. Also, DT would show up Metallica by playing the songs better than Metallica themselves :p[/QUOTE]


That would be pretty embarrasing.

Avril Lavigne killed Fuel and Snoop butchered For Whom The Bells Toll. Durst did a pretty shi[I]t[/I]ty job also. Sum 41 and Korn did the only decent jobs with the songs.

Snoop did Sad But True.

But Avril was terrible. When she did Icon, Fuel was the only 'Tallica song she had heard.

[QUOTE=Happy]Snoop did Sad But True.

Oh thats right. It was soo bad I had to block it from my memory. Is that true about Avril? How could she not have heard Enter Sandman or Nothing Else Matters?

Actually prolly not. That MoP cover sucked really hard. LaBrie can't do James' voice and his voice doesn't fit Metallica's Music. Petrucci is awesome tho

I agree. LaBrie is a great singer, but his style is so different from James' that it slightly ruins the song.

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]Actually prolly not. That MoP cover sucked really hard. LaBrie can't do James' voice and his voice doesn't fit Metallica's Music. Petrucci is awesome tho[/QUOTE]
Hmm yeah. I think it's a combination of LaBrie letting himself go at the time the MOP cover and his voice not suiting the music. If you've heard DT's cover of Iron Maiden's number of the Beast you realise he should stick to that kind of singing.

He did better on The Number of the Beast than Master of Puppets, but he should stick with his own stuff.

At Icon I thought Staind, Korn, and Sum 41 did good jobs. Especially Sum 41. They pwned.

Sum 41's lead guitarist had an interesting take on the MOP solo, I have to say.

The guitarist for Sum 41 is actually pretty good. He's no Vai or Petrucci, but he isnt bad.

I was surprised at Korn and Sum 41, Staind was boring though.

Am I the only one who liked Snoop Dog's cover? I guess I only like it because I found it hilarious.

Yeah, he just had no idea what was going on.

I thought it was funny also, but he ruined the song. He didn't belong there as a performer at all.

Thats the Metallica Icon in case anyone is interested in seeing it again.

Video google takes to long to load videos, I always find myself having to pause it to let it load.

I know. Its like that with every video, not just the long ones.

Mine load really fast

that's a really poor group of people to pay tributes to Metallica

They should of had rock bands with talent to tribute metallica

like godsmack or BLS

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]They should of had rock bands with talent to tribute metallica

Yea

Limp Bizkit? Snoop Dogg? Avril (she's hot and all...but still)

If your happy and you know it clap your hands

LoL

It's MTV. They got to have the bands that appeal to the mass of radio brainwashed sheep.

But yes.. I used to think Godsmack were average. And even though their music maybe average, after seeing them with Metallica, I'll say Sully is a great drummer, as well as their drummer is good too.

Yeah I saw Godsmack with Metallica and they are pretty kick ***. I kind of thing them as little 'tallica :lol: The drum battles from Godsmack were kick *** as well

Jim Brewer was to funny on that "If you're happy and you know it...clap your hands" :lol:

[QUOTE=Mr.Metalton]no i mean only one guitarist during the whole damn set played solos for some reason. it made me mad because i watched the Rock in Rio DVD a month before that and when they played the trooper all three guitarist played the solo at the same time. i wanted to see that at ozzfest but only one of the played the solo.[/QUOTE]

Wrong.

On Rock in Rio, during The Trooper...

Solo 1 (2:12 on CD, 56:08 on DVD): Adrian (Wah), Janick (Clean)
Solo 2 (2:35 on CD, 56:30 on DVD): Dave (Wah and Clean)


For the bootlegs I have from this summer's Ozzfest tour and the 2004 DoD world tour, they do it the exact same way.

Have you heard of the concept called "headroom"? Maiden have three guitarists because it's "headroom." There's more ideas for 3 guitarists than 2, and there's more possibilities for solos/chords behind solos with 3 than 2. So, stfu thanks.

Yea that MTV icon loaded fast for me too on google video.

Meh, it was ok. Aside from Sum41's and Metallica's performance, most of it was pretty bad.

Korn's was meh and Snoop Dog's was original....kind of.

[QUOTE=Demon_King]Korn's was meh and [B]Snoop Dog's was original[/B]....kind of.[/QUOTE]

please refrain from ever saying that again:thumb:

he was the worst thing ever to happen to Metallica

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]They should of had rock bands with talent to tribute metallica

Or Eminem.

Is Snoop Dog really the worst thing to happen to 'Tallica? I thought Avril's cover was even worse.

[QUOTE=Happy]Or Eminem.

Ye ye ye is ah sad but eh true ye ye

at least Avril sang the song correctly

But that's what made it original. Original doesn't have to mean good.

[QUOTE=Happy]But that's what made it original. Original doesn't have to mean good.[/QUOTE]

In this case it does with that raping retard out there

wow. what planet was i on? snoop dog and metallica?

Yeah, this is MTV Icon we're talking about.

sum41- the best. i liked the solo. :smash:
korn was great. the other best.
snoop dog = lmao
avril= meh
limp bizkit- vocals were bad but instruments were great. synth was cool.
nothing else matters = horrible. embarrassing.

CLAP YOUR HANDS BTCHEZ!! WOOOOOOO!!!

-off topic- could ppl take a look at my thread in tab talk? its about the enter sandman solo

great video :thumb:

Hmm I really don't know what to suggest. When I played it on my fender I just bent from the 21st fret.

thats what ive been doing. broke the string so im lookin for another way.

Korn can't play solo's *laughs*

It was kinda fun to watch.

MTV sucks!

They were told not to play the solos. Being slaves, they didn't.

By who? man if I was told not to play a solo I would sayu "Okay" then go and do it anyway.

I don't know, by some MTV guys. But if they told me not to play solos, I definately would.

Sum41 played a solo at the end. :confused:

Okay, Korn were told not to play the full song, so basically they were told to cut out the solos. Didn't Avril's guitarist play a solo too or was it too hard for him?
