[QUOTE=what the hell?]Hey it's me brittallica, the site won't allow me to post or do anything at all
what is wrong? am I banned?

if so when am I allowed back on?[/QUOTE]

Yes you are, and check the site forums.

[QUOTE]me and lightningmetal666 have a lil competition about it :p [/QUOTE]

yea but I learned the hard way that if you spam like that to get a higher post count people start hating you

well you guys haven't really [I]spammed[/I] much.

so metallica. i've been working on battery a lot lately. i tried out my old fender and it's got some great tone for fade to black

Man, I can nearly do everything but the gallopy verse. Even the solo's easier than the gallops.

Yea I'm still working on that mostly. I can almost get it, it's just way too fast for me. The solos I haven't really tried much. I perfected the intro and chorus

what am I looking for?

or who?

Go to the site forum and check the banned users thread.

I did and I'm not in there

You'll have to wait a bit then.
Or you could ask in the banning enquiries thread.

Right now I can't help but tomorrow I might post out my settings on my Marshall. It doesn't sound exactly like 'Tallica but still it's an awesome sound.
Welcome to the forums :)

thanks for the respond but im not talking about the setting on the amp im talking about on the ds1 distortion i donno might go get a different one but it works good its just finding a sutable tone one that sounds like metallica and still plays with wah without drowning the wah out

Ah right. I can't help you there then.

DS-1 is a very marginal distortion pedal. If you want easy Metallica tones just get a Metal Zone, but it won't do anything else.

[QUOTE=lightningmetal666]In my advanced rock group class (called 'Test Flight') I am really good buddies with the bassist and he gives me rides home and so I want to do a band with him. The only drawback is that he is more into stuff like the chili peppers and funk bass than thrash metal.:upset: He still kicks a[B][I][/I][/B]ss on the bass though. And he is the reason why my rep is going up at the college. Apparently he is a fan of my playing.[/QUOTE]
Do it man.
Thrashy guitar lines with some really funky bass... :D

That would be awesome. give it a try man. see I often do like Funk Upbeat riffs but have insane Chromatic death bass in backround.

Guys I need your guidance.
Can anyone link me to a 100% correct version of Sanortariums?

QUite a few pages back there was discussion about Mustaine and Hammet...i think i was wrong, Mustaine is better. He is alot better than i first thought.

Mustaine is definetly better, Hammet just has more fans.

yeah dude, readable tabs is so 90's

Quoted for truth!

Alot of people have never heard Megadeth but say Hammett is better... :angry:

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

God I'm so stoked. :D

I decided to not get the esp guitar for now and I bought a line 6 spider II amp
(30 watt). This thing f[B][I][/I][/B]ucking rocks!!!! I played around with the echo and flanger settings and I dialed in a tone that sounds just like Kirk's tone in his intro solo to FTB. I tweaked it a bit more and found my new fav. tone that sounds similar. I didn't go to sleep until almost 1 in the morning (and I had to get up at 4 mind you) because I was playing every kind of Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer that I could think of to break in this new amp.

Compared to my Marshall Mg 10 watt this thing is enormous!!! Both in size and tone. :thumb:

Hey I wanted to thank you guys for your suggestions as to which songs to include into my own version of the ...And Justice For All medley. It's coming along great.

I hate the "megadeth suck" fans who've never heard them.

[QUOTE=Happy]Cool. Can I join in?[/QUOTE]

yeah sure...
waaiitttt, your winning :eek:

anyway, i was reading what you and gocaps were saying about battery. Ive never attempted the solo, is it hard? I know what it goes like, just dont know how to play it
oh yeah and I just learnt the memory remains :) cant believe I didnt learn that song before, I love the S & M version
which reminds me...
is it just me, or is james's singing at its best on that DVD/CD?

[QUOTE=metalhead_matt]yeah sure...

Just a bit :cool:

But the solo's kind of easy, just do the usual, play it slow and speed it up. You realise that it wasn't a written solo, just an improv when you see the tab.

30 Watt? I got the same thing, but I saved for a 150 Watt :cool:

yes, it's awesome. What tone did you use for the FTB solo?

Hey guys, I can't believe that i haven't posted in this thread sooner, being a Metallica freak and all...

Are most of you guys guitarists or is there a few others as well?

EDIT: What EQ do you guys use for a Metallica tone (i'm talking MoP, RtL and Black)? I'm an ESP LTD EX-50 through a Boss Metal Zone (Mid: 3-4 Treb: 7 Bass 8-9) into any amp with the same settings.

I'm a guitarist, and I record a lot. :D
