Metallica V2 - General - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=Checkers;29582065]Kill em all is best[/QUOTE] Metallica's most accomplished work in my opinion is their self titled album. No I'm not being a suck up to Enter Sandman, but there's a reason that they released 6 singles from it and toured for nearly 4 years straight. It was a really good album too [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Vedicardi;29587619]you're not paying attention. he is credited as "lead bass" on the call of ktulu for a reason[/QUOTE] Cause the bass is made out of lead :q: [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] Of Metallica's thrash albums, Ride the Lightning was probably the best. I know AJFA is an awesome album but the person behind the mixing console needed to be shot in the dick. KEA was also really good raw metal but wasn't as well done as anything that followed it. For a bunch of teens rolling around in a Uhaul it was cool

the black album is the led zeppelin IV of the 3rd generation of rock (metal). It's a lot more commercial, simplified, but in the same epic and undoubtedly music genius. But I don't think it will hold up. Even looking at modern music history books (such as the one used for the american popular music course at my college), their early material is held up as much more important musically. I will always stand by my statement that RtL is their best album, and KEA is my favorite (because I feel like I could write that fucking album right now. I have a real connection to it mentally).

[QUOTE=STeel;29581955]Aside from stuff like Orion's bass solo or the powerchords he plays along with the guitar, what else was that hard?[/QUOTE] Or maybe the guitars plays along with him. And he did a fuck ton more than just playing along.

[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;29589037]Or maybe the guitars plays along with him. And he did a fuck ton more than just playing along.[/QUOTE] That's not even what I said. I was saying that instead of just playing a the same note the guitars play, he played the chord with the guitars (or vise versa, whatever makes you feel better) I wasn't saying that he was just playing along, I was asking what else is difficult aside from what I mentioned. I play bass myself.

[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;29589988]Not every song is difficult to play but there are some hard riffs.

But I find very few songs that are actually hard to play, which is why I asked.

I gotta give it a listen again to see if I like it more. Same for their self-titled but I just find it too dull and flat sounding. That and it's way too long. Over an hour. There's some good tracks but I can't help but think it's absolutely choc-full of what sounds to me to be filler.

Listen to Justice fuckdammit

[QUOTE=Vedicardi;29593250]the difficult parts are just buried in there. again listen to call of ktulu[/QUOTE] Yeah The Call Of Ktulu is among the hardest ones, and I just forgot about it before. But again, aside from those, I can't think of something "genuinely" hard to play. Pulling Teeth also has some difficult parts, but some parts are easier to play than they actually sound, because there's wah going all over the place. How is any of these statements late?

You can get a remastered version with the bass fixed properly iirc

and besides who plays bass the be heard? bass isnt meant to be heard. its meant to be felt (like ghost notes in a zepplin song) bass specificly undertones the drums and\or lead\rhythm guitar\s

Personally I love it when you can hear the bass loud in the mix lol.

AJFA is my favorite because I [i]love[/i] every single song. Most of the other albums have a track or two I don't care for. Such as Damage Inc.

Okay okay everyone is entitled to their opinion

[QUOTE=gerbile5;29603253]i do too but its not an instrument that is played to be heard anyone who disagrees just.... :sigh:[/QUOTE] It's okay. You can't be right all of the time! [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] :sympathy: [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] And also, S&M Best Live Metallica Album. :siren: [b]Dumb story which no one will care about, Skip Over[/b]:siren: Which reminds me. My friend came up to me and she was dancing to her iPod which she usually doesn't do "What fabulous new tunes do you have?" "S&M :downs:" "Really? :raise:" "Yep! :downs:" "I am Proud of You" "Wanna Listen?" "Of Course!" "...icks and stones may break my bones but chains and wh..." ":what:"

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;29600074]AJFA is my favorite because I [i]love[/i] every single song. Most of the other albums have a track or two I don't care for. Such as Damage Inc.[/QUOTE] Damage Inc is the best song on Master of Puppets

[QUOTE=gerbile5;29596388] the justice album is what thrash is supposed to be in it's entirety[/QUOTE] not it's not oh my god die please auhghghh [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=gerbile5;29596768]and besides who plays bass the be heard? bass isnt meant to be heard. its meant to be felt (like ghost notes in a zepplin song) bass specificly undertones the drums and\or lead\rhythm guitar\s[/QUOTE] okay thank you for discrediting yourself [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Puddlez;29605838]Damage Inc is the best song on Master of Puppets[/QUOTE] this is a fucking fact

AJFA is probably about 5% thrash riffing. It's not a fast album and isn't any less "Heavy Metal" than the Black album is. Where's all the alternate picking in it? Nowhere [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] I also hate abbreviating it. AJFA sounds like some retarded medical condition

well it has alt picking in blackened, dyers eve, and shortest straw but not much besides that. dyer's eve is a killer thrash song as is blackened but the rest is too proggy (boring slow prog, not good watchtower/voivod/toxik prog) to really be thrash. not to say it's terrible though. definitely the least thrash out of the first 4 lol

The man speaks the truth. It was an album trying to be more progressive than it actually was.

I was looking through the Master of Puppets linear notes, and they put a special thanks to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Anyone else see this too?

King Nothing doesn't get enough credit for the great song it is.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;29607165]King Nothing doesn't get enough credit for the great song it is.[/QUOTE] It is a great song, but for some reason sounds like Enter Sandman II to me for some reason. And not because of the reference at the end of King Nothing.

I actually don't give a fuck if AJFA is thrash or not I listen to it because it's good. Just like with Re + Load I don't judge it because it's not thrash. Just like how St Anger is a great album, apart from the drumming and the repetitiveness.
