Yea that's the one.

Did you see them on MIAWTWT?

its a stone of an indirect relative at a local cemetery, i am heavy into genealogy these days... i went to snap some gravestones for someone that wanted shots of their relatives emailed to them. i love the green lichen that grows on old stones, it forms really cool art if you spend the time to look at it. that one dates from 1821... its odd the looks you get from people when you are in a cemetery snapping shots of all the stones.

Yes I did but they didn't have no screens with it on at Earl's Court. They did however show it at Download '04.

I did, but I was still a little Metallica fan then. I don't remember really any of this.

I was such a fanboy at the first Metallica gig I went to. I also thought it was cool to headbang my brains to bits to, so the next day I couldn't remember half of it. Good thing i got it on Bootleg DVD :D

My ncle is amazing with that stuff. He has my family back to Ireland something
like 300 years ago. So that's very intresting.

When I saw them I was only a fan of the newer stuff now I'm more into
the older stuff

My last name is MacArthur (scottish) and when I went to look up my family history, there was a family saying that sounded awesome to me.


Apparently the MacArthurs have been (according to what I've read) around as long as the devil himself.

There was also a bad@$$ war song that went along with my family name but I forgot what it said.

The scottish metal band, Mac Tallica

[QUOTE=Andrue]The scottish metal band, Mac Tallica[/QUOTE]


Actually (no disrespect to 'tallica) I wanted to start an AC/DC tribute band out here. Here in the AV we've got a pretty good Iron Maiden tribute band and I wanted to do something a little different.

Just a side project until I can get good enough to do an awesome metal band

(thinking of a mixture of 'tallica,slayer,megadeth,& Cannibal Corpse)

awe, i was thinking a metal band with plaid leather kilts and playing metallica with a heavy scottish accent would be a show stopper... or a beer bottle throwing fest perhaps.

actually ac/dc is perhaps the reason i am in here i guess...
i love ac/dc, saw a magazine last year with info and some tab sheets...
it re-motivated me to re-learn some stuff, then one day i had reload playing and i heard slither (a-new) and figured i could learn that pretty easy...

when i saw the tab sheet with "palm muting" on it, i had no idea what that was, i alway mute on the fret board with my fingers... i still havent got that right yet, they fight with eachother now... but originally i came in here to see if i could get tips on metallica playing and palm muting.

That's awsome LM666. (That's you're new Abreviation)

You should do that. My band is gonna do some covers for our battle
of the bands. Then we have about 8 really nice originals that we need to choose
from.

When I get recordings can I send E'm out to you all for imput?

Yay, my name has been condensed. :thumb:


Yeah, send me some of your recordings. I have a way of getting ppl to listen to music and it may be somewhat beneficial to you.

/drops hint

Okay Well all palm muting is is slightly resting you're hand on the bridge
while plucking. So you can still hear it but it doesn't ring out.

With Metallica it's good to decide what type of Metallia you want to play...
so what do you like the newer or the older?

Well at least you have metal in there.


/has sudden urge to play skull-crushing metal


I've been listening to metallica for a while and it has not once altered the shape of my skull like they claim their music does.

We should sue Lars for false advertisement. Take the money away from that money hungry bastard.

Yea then I can get a nice guitar!

Sounds great britton, send me some.

:lol: Sounds good.

So I'm learning Creeping Death :awesome:

Screw that, I'd get the publishing rights to Metallica songs.


Really stick it to that bastard. Now I can download any song for free......

and let whoever I want download it.




hhhmmmmmmmmmmm......................

I know some of it. At some point down the road I'm gonna learn all of
KEA and RTL

No you wouldn't. You'd make as much money as possible first, then put them up for downloads. It's real jackassy thing to do anyways. It pissed me off when Michael Jackson had the rights to several Beatles songs.

Gotta go.


See you guys later. Won't be back until monday possibly tuesday.

:wave:

Wonder where he's off to? (ponders)

so Joe how ae things in that Metal mind of your's?

I have no idea...
Actually, not very metal. I'm off to Homecoming in half an hour :lol:

I've been polishing up some of my recordings of various songs lately since I got new equipment. I have all these old recordings of songs on my computer and I just haven't been up to new recordings so I've been working on my Fade to Black and such. You?

I like mostly anything after the black album. i seem to get the same sound with my fret muting as with the palm muting i figure i probably need someone to actually show it to me some day.. problem i have is i cant seem to turn off the fret muting in my hand, it just does it automatically and it frustrates me a lot

geez, that sounds like just all the types of music i like wrapped into 1...
i have this odd ambient thing playing in my real player currently its kind of hypnotic but all sounds like the same song.

Surely you can't left hand mute notes which aren't open though...?

I don't palm mute, I play bass, haha, but... Yeh.

:smash:

You can mute bass.

and andrue you should find a couple guitar players to watch and show you
some of this stuff in person

perhaps I am more confused than I think I am.. i rest my fingers on the strings withought getting them to the point of the fret, same spot but no fret, muffles the sound a bit.... thats what the guy i originally learned from showed me, he did a lot of Ac/dc, Molly Hatchet, and 38 special stuff.

Of course you can mute bass. I use muted notes. I simply don't palm mute. No need.

:smash:
