Metallica was the first band i listened to that made me want to pick up a guitar around 10 years ago.I learned all the Metallica songs from Kill em ALL to Load.So whats your favorite Metallica song ?Are they a insperation to you on the guitar?/

Posted by: ibanezkiller Jul 17 2007, 01:32 AM

Yes they are the best and thats also what got me playing... the intro riff from enter sandman was the first thing i ever learned.... but the best... seek and destroy

Posted by: Asphyxia Feeling Jul 17 2007, 01:32 AM

hmm... "Holier Then Thou" is one of my favorites from Black Album... and the first time i heard "The Thing That Should Not Be", it struck me as the heaviest song i had ever heard in my life. so i dig it.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 17 2007, 01:34 AM

metallica is my favorite band..tough tough question...but i say its between Enter Sandman and Of Wolf And Man

Posted by: icedern Jul 17 2007, 01:36 AM

Probably Master of Puppets or One

Posted by: Asphyxia Feeling Jul 17 2007, 01:36 AM

i actually forgot about enter sandman... that's one of my all time big favorites!

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 17 2007, 01:36 AM

I still love jaming along with Of wolf and Man.The black album was the first album i listened to and what got me hooked on them

Posted by: Robin Jul 17 2007, 01:40 AM

I'm no Metallica fan, but I must say Master of Puppets is soooooo freakin amazing.

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 17 2007, 01:41 AM

I would have to say one of my favorites is Lepper Mesiah on Master Of Puppets

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 17 2007, 01:41 AM

The Four Horseman
Fade To Black
One
Creeping Death

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 17 2007, 01:42 AM

What style of music do you play then??

Posted by: Robin Jul 17 2007, 01:45 AM

Hmm I play in a black metal band(have been alot of thrash involved latelly), but I mainly play blues and rock'n'roll when I'm not on band rehearsal.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 17 2007, 01:45 AM

"Black Metal Blues"

Posted by: Asphyxia Feeling Jul 17 2007, 01:49 AM

definately digging the new sig picture Uncreator

Posted by: Robin Jul 17 2007, 01:53 AM

Yeah, actually, since you're mentioning it. I did have some blues solos in my band, and it worked very well! I personally cant stand this "Blues Metal" thing, for me music got to have feeling, and of what I've heard from this genre its just plain boring. But with our style of black metal I think it fits great. We even had a song that was almost blues, I guess you could just call it old hard rock or something. But my band mates arent really into blues, jazz and that kind of stuff so they wont let me do solos anymore. Suppose I got to start some shredding


On topic: Man I just watched Master of Puppets on youtube, JESUS its such an amazing song. I havent heard it in many years.

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 17 2007, 01:55 AM

Cool
Any chance you could put some one here for us to listen to

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 17 2007, 01:55 AM

yeah, Master of Puppets is really heavy and fast! the perfect song to identify Metallica!

Posted by: Robin Jul 17 2007, 01:58 AM

We didnt record any of it!
Thanks for the interest btw!

Posted by: AliMo Jul 17 2007, 03:00 AM

lol same here!

but id say my favorite song is fade to black

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 17 2007, 03:33 AM

Yeah, im a big fan of the "One Winged Angel"

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 17 2007, 04:03 AM

In order of my favorites:

One
Fade to Black
Master of Puppets
Nothing else Matters

Posted by: JVM Jul 17 2007, 04:40 AM

To be honest some of my favorite riffs of theirs are off of Load, but I know most people hate it But anyway:

Jump In The Fire
Fade To Black
Master Of Puppets
Harvester of Sorrow
To Live Is To Die
Of Wolf And Man
For Whom The Bell Tolls

Posted by: Anastasio123 Jul 17 2007, 06:17 AM

Ride the Lightning
For Whom the Bells Tolls
Call of Ktulu
Fade to Black

(Yea all Ride the Lightning stuff, but that's the only real metallica that's been introduced to me and I love it...kill me for saying but I have also heard St. Anger and I really didn't think it was that bad of a hard rock album)

Posted by: JVM Jul 17 2007, 06:20 AM

I don't like St. Anger much, but I loved load and reload was okay as well. Definitely leagues better than St. Anger, yet people still hate them. You really should check out more metallica though! Ride is a good album though.

Posted by: ClifordACDC Jul 17 2007, 07:13 AM

everything from ride the lightning, mainly creeping death and for whom the bell toles but all the other songs are amazing too. some of my other favorite's are enter sandman and sad but true

Posted by: No Payne No Gain Jul 17 2007, 08:04 AM

I've been listening to Metallica so much lately however ya know I'm not a huge die-hard fan so I don't have any problem sayin that if I had to choose one album, it would be black. However I like everything from the garage days to justice for all. The only album I could do without is S&M, everything else has something that is stellar.

Posted by: JVM Jul 17 2007, 08:08 AM

Really, I like S&M

Posted by: MickeM Jul 17 2007, 10:10 AM

Master of Puppets

Posted by: Hemlok Jul 17 2007, 10:21 AM

I think that is the only song i still really like.. sick of hearing the other popular ones.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 17 2007, 07:43 PM

S&M rocks man! i wish i could have been there! 1 in a lifetime experience.

Posted by: Neth Jul 17 2007, 09:05 PM

Really? I really didn't dig S&M, some tracks were just completely ruined.
Until it sleeps and Nothing Else Matters were pretty horrible.
My favorite song is probably King Nothing.
Dam that song is so awesome.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 17 2007, 09:21 PM

well i gotta agree with those 2 you mentioned, but there were some great. in my opinion:

The Call of Ktulu
Hero Of The Day
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Of Wolf And Man
Master Of Puppets

to name a few.

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jul 17 2007, 09:21 PM

Creeping Death, Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman

Posted by: icedern Jul 17 2007, 09:24 PM

sorry, but *vomit*

Posted by: Anastasio123 Jul 17 2007, 09:50 PM

Yea i was really thinking of buying JUstice For All because Ive herad its there most progressive stage in their carreer, and personally I love progressive music in general.

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jul 17 2007, 11:30 PM

Really hard to decide, but hmm..

Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade To Black, Master of Puppets and Sanitarium are my favourites I guess.

Posted by: rokchik Jul 18 2007, 01:36 AM

I'd have to say mine are:

Sanitarium(Welcome Home)
Battery
Fade to Black
One
The Four Horsemen

Posted by: Neth Jul 18 2007, 02:13 AM

About King Nothing? Are you crazy? :X

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 18 2007, 02:24 AM

lol, i have to say i dont like that song very much either...

Posted by: kethcup Jul 18 2007, 03:28 AM

Battery, Damage Inc., The thing that should not be, Blackened, Harvester of Sorrow, Dyers Eve, Creeping Death, Eye of the Beholder...

Just to name a few!

Posted by: Jeffrey Jul 18 2007, 03:42 AM

Man Metallica has inspiried me so much! I love their music so much. I dont know if i could pick 1 favorite but maybe a few? One, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fuel, Ride the Lightning. I'd say those are the tops in my list. Although I've only learned: Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, One, Nothing Else Matters.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 18 2007, 04:19 AM

i get you man, its too hard just picking 1 , hey did you nailed the outro olo from fade to black?

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 18 2007, 04:30 AM

I'm "trying" to learn the solo to One right now.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 18 2007, 04:51 AM

Which one, the two "clean" ones, or the tapping one?

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 18 2007, 04:58 AM

The tapping one. The beat is just very hard for me. The clean ones are a breeze compared to it.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 18 2007, 08:26 AM

what i dont like about that solo is that when you change the note that you are tapping (i assume you start on the 19th fret, E string) you can barely hear/notice it, until you move to the B string. Does it happens to you?

Posted by: Rob_g Jul 18 2007, 05:29 PM

For me
Battery
Master
Four horseman

And yes they were the first band I burnt out on

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 18 2007, 11:13 PM

Yeah, it's so dang high you can barely tell.

Posted by: Scott Gentzen Jul 19 2007, 12:05 AM

I hope that some day they do a re-master version of St Anger. I think that some of the songs are pretty interesting but the recording/production was awful (and intentionally so). That reheaersal video sounded a lot better.

Blackened
...And Justice for All
Harvester of Sorrow






I don't know if I'd call it "progressive". Maybe some elements as there are a lot of odd time signatures and changes. Not quite like Dream Theater though.

Posted by: nicktonic Jul 19 2007, 12:09 AM

my favourite metallica song is of Wolf and man, i dont know why, it just is
im not really inspired though

Posted by: Jeffrey Jul 19 2007, 03:49 AM

I can hear my 19th fret(e) even when i'm tapping. you just have to tap very hard when u start getting up higher=) + the frets are smaller so persicion is very important. I dont know if its easy to play with my type of guitar but I imagine it is considering it is prety much made for metallica's style=P

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 19 2007, 04:14 AM

also having the highest output pickups possible is good, otherwise you will have to tap harder.

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 19 2007, 04:20 AM

I've got a Strat so thats kind of a problem.Just Another reason to get an Ibanez.

Posted by: kethcup Jul 19 2007, 04:29 AM

Hey Slash -



You can get more of a tap sound if you slightly slide your pick as you tap. It takes a little practice but it can bring out the tap note. It's almost as if you're trying to scratch some dirt off your 19th fret with your pick really fast! If that makes sense! lol



Just my two cents!

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 19 2007, 04:58 AM

Same! i have a strat!! , and i want an ibanez prestige so bad!

Posted by: kethcup Jul 19 2007, 05:01 AM

Ketchup has one! <-- That's me!

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 19 2007, 05:14 AM

you're not ketchup, you're kethcup

Posted by: kethcup Jul 19 2007, 05:18 AM

Kethcup's my alter ego, does that count??

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 19 2007, 05:41 AM

I don't know why but every time that I pick up my guitar in Cirse's rehearsals I play the song One. It's unconscious. I wouldn't name one song as my favourite but I have my suspects...

Posted by: kyeric Jul 19 2007, 05:40 PM

Top 10

1. Dyer's Eve
2. Damage Inc
3. The Four Horsemen
4. Fade To Black
5. Welcome Home(Sanitarium)
6. Creeping Death
7. The Call Of Ktulu
8. Blackened
9. Hit The Lights
10. Trapped Under Ice

Posted by: Jeffrey Jul 19 2007, 05:58 PM

I dont like tapping with my pick=( unless i want to play something like dragonforce. but I find it atlot easier to control and you get a better sound if u use your finger.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 19 2007, 09:32 PM

sure kethcup ketchup



i sometimes use both, sometimes you get more Tapping Sound with the pick, but i get bored and then switch to finger, and alternate between both lol, im a mess

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 19 2007, 09:50 PM

Load was a very well constructed album.I think the fact that it wasent 180 bpm all the time is why people tend to not like it.It was a great album and really showed what james could do with his voice and that Metallica is capible of making different sounding music thats still good.My favorite song off load would have to be The house that jack built or outlaw torn.His vocals are amazing all throughout the song

Posted by: SLASH91 Jul 19 2007, 11:54 PM

Thanks man, I'll be sure to try it out.

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 20 2007, 01:24 AM

i think my favorite from Load is Hero of The Day, although i prefer the S&M version.

Posted by: Anastasio123 Jul 20 2007, 07:37 AM

Never listened to that album, only heard the beginning and present of their careers. I know load was a big deal wen it cvame out. Sure did piss off a lot of people, maybe thats why its such a godd rock album?

Posted by: Kai Muehlenbruch Jul 25 2007, 02:38 AM
