Does anyone here not like Metallica

[Hampi]

^ Ah no, Slash is no where near as good as Hammett

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hammett just wanks away, he really is a horrid sounding player. At least slash has a sense of melody. Please dont give me the, "OMG hammett uses modal scales and can play faster therefore is better than slash."

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Kirk doesn't "wank away" as you put it, all his solos are all integeral parts of the songs which they are in. Fade to Black and One certainly would never be as great songs without Kirks awesome solos at the climax of it. No sense of melody you say? Well i guessing you haven't heard much Metallica at all, some of his best work is in their more melodic songs, which are all very well structured and sound spine chilling. Personally i think Slash's playing is far more wankery than Hammetts.

And yes, Hammett can play faster, so there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

When i listen to a metallica record i get fed up of fucking chucking low eb and hammets solos. His "melodic work, " like one is just laughable. the triplet taping run at the start? Give me a break its so spinal tap. Wrist slashing lyrics and pedictable leads. "yEah MEtalica fucking own." That said they do have their moments, orion is fucking great. But its paled by all their other tracks.

oh no, a bands complaining that your stealing music from them?!

cmon, are you guys serious?

do you not realize that downloading is the cause of todays music scene?

as soon as something good comes up record companies dont wanna take a chance on it because itll get eaten up, and everyone will download it, then the band makes no money and flops

ill agree with whoever said that about rhapsody, if your paying for it theres no problem

but cmon, it was about time that someone said something

and then "fans" turn their backs on them because they had a problem with being stolen from

if you were real fans, youd be buying music anyways right?

and yeah, metallica > god

Excellent post! Metallica is indeed > God.

And Yami, if you don't like Metallica because they are too complex, you should try listening to their album "Load." The songs are all great, but not as heavy as their earlier stuff. They're a bit more straight-forward than the songs on the other albums.

Some song recommendations:

Until It Sleeps

Hero Of The Day

Bleeding Me

Thorn Within

Outlaw Torn

[Death Star]

I love Metallica almost as much as Guns N' Roses. But my cousion is a huge Metallica fan especially of their old stuff. He even has now he is gonna sell it on eBay an ESP M-II guitar from 1996 signed by the Jason era members of metallica!

[James Bond]

I like a few songs, but I can't say I'm a huge fan though. They are still pretty good though.

[Almost Famous]

So it's official, they blow.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Agreed.

[HANGMAN]

metallica sux IMO

[mr.drummin]

I think Metallica are very talented but James Hetfield's voice arghhh so bad and not worthy of the good guitar playing and drumming. being a drummer and guitarist myself (although bad) i can relate to the skill involved to play Metallica

[JDRM]

i like Enter Sandman.

But the rest of it is a bit too gloomy.

Especiealy(sp) The black album

[Bucketslash]

as much as i normally love them,theyn were cast away when i heard st. anger,it was like a whole album of myworld and silkworms

[Dont_You_Ever_Cry]

Ive Tried To Live My Life Like James Hetfield And Lars Ulrich As I Do No How To Play Drums And Guitar But Being In A Band Isnt Any Fun When I Cant Play Guitar With Out Singing So I'll Stick To Drums On That Note Cuz When I Play Drums I Sing

Im Currently Learning How To Play Seek And Destroy

[eschman]

True story... Load was so-named because James said he'd rather clean out crapped in pants than listen to the crap on that album.

[Anagram Of Oral Sex]

Reload is much better.

[eschman]

Here's a simple equation:

Kill em All, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, and And Justice for All>most rock music=Black Album>Load>Reload=Garage Inc>St. Anger

S&M doesn't count because it's a feeble attempt at jazzing up a greatest hits album.

[rocketsredglare]

they totally suck....not mainstream?!?! look lol look at the labels they been signed to their whole careers...besides which they're just boring...same old format each album, minor little tweaks passed off for some form of progression and/or relevance.

[IzzySixx]

i don't like them

i like the odd song but i don't own any albums and i never will.

No, they were incredbly non-mainstream when they started. Hair metal was the big thing in 1982, Metallica was a rebellion against that. in Hair Metal they spent hours on their hair and teased it out and wore leather etc, Metallica said FUCK THAT! and just did what ever they wanted. No one had heard music like theres before, it's was fast, loud, angry, it's was Thrash Metal. It was a huge diversion, and becasue their music was SO good, people caught on to it, and they had a huge underground following, of course a major label is then gonna come along and sign them on, you'd be stupid not to sign it.

...And Justice for All is defantly not a minor tweak in progession, it's one of the most complex albums ever. It uses time signatures and progessions never used before, Metallica re-invented themselves, this was fresh and new. People who wern't teenagers in the early 80's dont realise their impact, people my age who have only really known them in the 90's only see them as the huge band they are now.

Metallica were easily the biggest and most influenctaul band of the 80s and 90s

[rocketsredglare]

mainstream/underground is basically buisness terminology and has more to do with availability and distribution of the artist more than anything musical, if u r signed to a major record label or a subsidary thereof, you are mainstream, anything outside of said definition is underground...
