Oh, so it's not on the 14th. Hmm. I'll keep an eye out.

Hopefully it sounds ok.

There is a sickening amount of pages for this thread, as big of a Metallica fan I am, I'm not even gonna bother to try read it.

There are a few people here who have read it all. :cool:

It's pretty good so far. Keep at it :thumb:

One tempo problem though, don't bars 19 - 34 go faster? You're on track with the drums (they sound good) but it seems as if the guitars go faster than that.

[QUOTE]Well, maybe not rushing, but eager to get a new album out.[/QUOTE]

Well I hope it comes out soon enough so that tickets go on sale between this July and next July because I'm getting a MetClub membership for my birthday.

The TV show sounds cool. What's it called and when does it air?

hey now that's some really interesting news! never thought they would do this

Nevermore and Arch Enemy sound a bit too scary for a kids show :lol:

I'm not really sure, I was going for the correct notes at first.

I'm listening to it now, and it does actually sound a bit slow.

Try putting it to about 97-100bpm and it sounds more like it.

I don't know if you know, but you can press F10 and change the tempo of the song from bar 19 onwards.

I'd say the drums were probably nearly perfect, I'm a drummer myself too so I can easily tell what's going on.

I can't really make out whats going on during the verse, I might continue but I might not, I only really wanted to do that first part.

That transcription sounds pretty good so far.
I don't think it's slow, just there's something not right about the F to G# bit in the main riff.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]That transcription sounds pretty good so far.

:confused:

Which bit exactly...?

I always label notes as if they were in standard tuning, so even if the tuning was DGCFAD, I'd still say the 1st fret on the 6th string, was F.

The 8th and 9th notes in bar 19 onwards.
I may be wrong but that sounds a bit off to me, not notes wise but note duration wise.

Um, what do you think it should be??

Check out the video ([url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=-crxUFvZWso&search=Metallica%20New%20Song[/url]) one more time. I think it sounds pretty right to me. The drumming is perfect, but yea change bars 19 and onward to 97 and it sounds pretty good

I can't figure it out I'm not that good :p

So what about trying to record a song again?

lol this is funny...heres for the show you all were talkin about [url]http://thethoseguys.blogspot.com/2006/04/metalocalypse.html[/url]

[QUOTE=Sadbutrue16]lol this is funny...heres for the show you all were talkin about [url]http://thethoseguys.blogspot.com/2006/04/metalocalypse.html[/url][/QUOTE]


The show seems funny, at least i know they are not wasting their time.

[QUOTE=Sadbutrue16]lol this is funny...heres for the show you all were talkin about [url]http://thethoseguys.blogspot.com/2006/04/metalocalypse.html[/url][/QUOTE]
'We will make everything metal!' :lol:

Heh, I'll probably end up enjoying that more than the new album :-p

Man that show looks ace.

I refl'd when that guy put his head through the glass to get the sausages...

But I didn't hear Kirk and James?

Metallica are awsome. I have a feeling there new album is going to rule but i just hope money doesent blind them.........Again!but from what i heard from there new song, it aint that bad so I hope this album does well.

I saw them live last 8th of june, great show..pretty faultless played

I'm interested in knowing how this works....


They "cranking out 3 songs a week"

they expect the album to be out in "07"

how does that work? are they gonna have 176 songs and then pick ten? what's the deal guys?

nope, 176 song epic I think.

That'd be awesome.

Nah, I can't even handle double albums :lol:

none of the '3 songs a day' may be any good

then they have to be altered

then they need lyrics, solos, ideas

and practised then recorded

then mixed mastered and produced

etc

Yeah, I imagine it's like 3 riff ideas a day, that they give serious consideration.

So any new metallica songs? Did they play any others in the latest concerts?

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Man that show looks ace.

I think Kirk an James arent the starts of the show..there just like special guest voices probably on lesser characters....im totaly guessing on this but thats what i think.... some reason i cant picture there voices on every single episode...

[QUOTE=Kyle]nope, 176 song epic I think.[/QUOTE]

176 songs are grind, not epic :p


I didn't hear James or Kirk's voice neither, but the sausage scene was great.

Has anyone seen the Metallica show in Quebec in 86'? ****ing flawless, James' voice is perfect.

[QUOTE=Kyle]Yeah, I imagine it's like 3 riff ideas a day, that they give serious consideration.[/QUOTE]

It's easily possible that they were exaggerating when they said 3 songs a day.
Maybe you did here and there and as you say, just 3 riffs or something but it's still only going to be around 10 songs. Considering the word "epic" has been used alot lately to descibe the new song, maybe they have a billion riffs in one, which would be cool.

However I'm not convinced Metallica could make a solid enough record, that will please me all the way through anymore, so I'd rather have a few more songs.

I'd say 10 was around average for an album. Anything more is a bonus really.

But the statements made must make you think it's going to be quite long. Actually thinking about it, it could hit 13-15 like the Load/Reload albums. They said they had loads of material for those and ended up scrapping a bit of it.

[url]http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=53847[/url]

according to James and Blabbermouth, they have more than 15 cd's full of riffs(aka basis songs).

Holy sh[size=2]i[/size]t, 15 cds!!

It says the new album is out early autumn of 2007, that's like October!! Over a year...
