The entire reason they brought on Kirk in the first place is so they could bully him. You HAD to have a lead guitarist back then but they didn't want a shredder with a big ego who would grandstand and overshadow James so they intentionally found someone meek who was just good enough to play but otherwise completely unremarkable. 90% of the time he just leans on his wah pedal. All the memorable solos are James solos and that is by design.
this isn't even a secret. especially coming from this as your first lead guitarist. kirk knows his place and shuts the frick up. Metallica is a duo with lars and james running it
Mustaine
>hotter than james
>better guitarist than james
>can do more drugs and drink than james
>successfully led a solo career on his own and lasted as long as metallica
James
>sings better than dave
>better lyricist than dave
It's no contest why james and lars really kicked dave out
Kirk was actually a good guitarist in the 80's, don't forget he was in exodus before he joined metallica and wrote some of the main riffs after joining. I think creeping death was one of them and I think also wrote fade to black. His playing didn't go to until after load and reload, I think all the getting high at that point got to his brain and made him think he was a modern day jimi hendrix.
He means that they didn't want one of the technical shredders of the era like Yngwie or Paul Gilbert who would've completely shown up the rest of the band.
Which is a damn shame because Mustaine is arguably more talented than both James and Lars combined.
Megadeth will always be more based just because of their Duke Nukem theme alone
>arguably
>arguable
There is no argument.
Megadeth are so much better than metallica in terms of song writing and actual playing ability it's not funny.
It's just a shame that Dave's vocals are atrocious.
I sincerely hope you’re not seriously suggesting that James’ few solos are better than Kirk’s
They unironically are. Nearly every melodic, memorable solo is James'. They are not as technically showy as the "lead guitarist"s. He's not trying to be Dave Mustaine. But he undeniably has a better ear for melody. The only memorable solo Kirk has is in Fade to Black and One and they both sound like James wrote them. Kirk "style" is just bland wah noise. It's very millennizoomer.
>Goes from sounding like two cats fricking to at least barely listenable thanks to James:
?t=281
>they're all so bored with it that they can't even keep time with each other anymore
>James by his own account can’t really solo
>Kirk, while pretty terrible these days, has much more theoretical knowledge than James in terms of lead playing
But they are. Kirk Hammett is a fricking terrible guitar player for the level he's at
>The entire reason they brought on Kirk in the first place is so they could bully him. You HAD to have a lead guitarist back then but they didn't want a shredder with a big ego who would grandstand and overshadow James so they intentionally found someone meek who was just good enough to play but otherwise completely unremarkable
This is exactly what The Rolling Stones did with Mick Taylor. They hired him because they needed a lead player to even have a chance to compete with Zeppelin and Taylor was a nobody. Clapton had too much of an ego and wouldn't be pushed around. I can't even imagine sharing a band and life with massive egos like James and Lars or Mick and Keith. Imagine being George Harrison. Although he became an butthole as well later on
It makes you kind of respect Fleetwork Mac for staying together as long as they did. They all hated each other and had huge egos but somehow stayed together long enough in spells to make records and tour
If only they made more than a couple of decent songs.
>How do I into?
This live album pretty much sums it up
I get the point, but the classic lineup that everyone knows from Fleetwood Mac and Rumours wasn't together all that long. With the exceptions of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, the band's lineup was almost constantly in a state of flux
Well, yeah.. when you go back before Rumours, but why would anyone do that?
They've got a lot of great material from before their self-titled album
>band's lineup history on wikipedia is a color coded infograph
>compete with Zeppelin
homie what drugs you on they're completely different bands
The One solos tell a different story, moron.
DOO DOO DOO DOO
DOO DOO DOO DOO
DOO DOO DOO DOO *twang*!
Actually read the thread you homo. Kirk's solos in One and Fade to Black are mentioned as exceptions
Overall he's a shit, bland, mediocre guitarists though. He's basically imitating James with those solos.
TICK TICK TOCK TOCK
>MY LIFESTYLE DETERMINES MY DEATH STYLE
Profound, James. Just brilliant.
Ignoring that part frantic is actually a decent song.
It's a trash metal band, the frick do you want him to write? Their other albums are way more cheesy and pretentious because they were always pop rock in disguise.
>It's a trash metal band, the frick do you want him to write?
You're right. It's a stupid observation. No one should ever expect people to be good at their jobs and not resort to israeliteery and sneaky tactics to pretend to be something they're not.
All art is cheesy. You're just enough of a homosexual to think the art you like isn't. Kek
Dave's lyrics were good. So were Cliff's.
I thought it was a fun and cheesy turn of phrase. Metallica was always cheesy.
These are Gen-Xers, anon. They're pre-"irony" and "fun". James was being completely 100% sincere.
Kirk wrote that line.
But James vocals make it profound. Can you imagine Kirk singing it?
>FRAN TICK TICK TICK TICK
This post is the real shit. I liked it more than I should. People should praise this. I fricking hope you're proud, for real, unironically brotha.
>finally divorcing his wife after all these years
Jamesbros are we back?
Did the relapse finally make him see something or did she hit menopause and he panicked?
He and his wife probably got sick and tired of being around each other plus their kids are mostly grown up so there's no real reason to stay together anymore. Doubt james will go back to writing good music.
Now he can finally drink his own booze and in peace. Always found it funny that they made a metallica-brand whiskey fully knowing James is a hardcore alcoholic.
It's just Lars flexing. James was always his b***h and they both know it
Doubt he'll go back to drinking, he went straight into rehab after relapsing. Probably just likes being alone like most middle aged men do after being stuck in a long monotonous marriage after all these years. She probably b***hed too much about him spending more time being on tour and hunting or working on his cars than being with the family.
It was stock though
>listen to 'metal'
>it's just yelling and/or screaming terrible lyrics
>'b-but the virtuosity of the players!'
It doesn't matter how good or fast they are at playing their instruments if it still just sounds like a bunch of abrasive noise. Frick metal and all the cringe homosexuals who have the balls to listen to it and then turn around and call trap and edm 'uninspired, cookie cutter radio garbage'. Most people prefer edm and rap/trap to metal and that is for a reason.
The majority of metal does sound like shit but there are some good gems if you're willing to sift through all the garbage.

Okay but that song is also good....you can like both you know. I headbang to some death metal like Five Finger Death Punch and Disturbed but then can turn around and put on some pop or rap and jam to that as well.

unironically kys you feces eating, deranged subhuman
How can you say Master of Puppets sounds like abrasive noise? Are you moronic?
It literally is from the very first guitar part. The scraping, abrasive tone of how they play and how their guitar sounds is just terrible. Metal is and has always been cringe. That's why bands like Polyphia that are blending trap/electronic elements with actual clean and appealing sounding guitar playing are taking over and pushing metal out of the way.
^^^ that beats the shit out of any 'metal' and you know it. Plus the band members are actually well groomed and attractive, they aren't greasy noodle haired morons.
>and how their guitar sounds is just terrible.
maybe to homosexuals like you.
>Plus the band members are actually well groomed and attractive, they aren't greasy noodle haired morons.
yeah, you are definitely just gay.
>That's why bands like Polyphia
AHHHHH HA HA HA HA
A shill.
I knew it.
Every Polyphia song sounds the same, and it doesn't help that they mix every instrument in a way where they blend into each other. Funny enough, Polyphia's sound is much more abrasive to me, and the guys can play, but they can't write for shit. The drum parts are probably the worst offender, you gotta do better than highlight the accents.
Hey this is actually kinda cool. But where are the music box-y sounds coming from? I don't see a keyboardist or DJ or anything.
also: brr brr deng, hehe
Target audience for Polyphia right here
Wow. You poor kid.
>Polyphia
literally sounds like some horrible homosexual sex std like aids or monkey pox
Why would you randomly start talking about how hot the band members are? Jesus Christ hahah
>Haha U like PooPooPeePee
>Proceeds to post this
Oh brother, you are one special kind of homosexual lmao.
Have something better, no need to thank me.
>tattoos
Dropped. j/k she seems cool. I don't trust a vocalist unless they sound good live though. Also it just occurred to me that Chromatic Aberration would have made a good band name before the term became well-known.
I'm not a particular tattoo fan, but for some women, it's quite attractive.
Kek.
Not the greatest song, but this part is a good example of how you mix multiple instruments with distinct melodies:
?t=183
Sorry, wrong timestamp
?t=157
This sounds gay as frick
Maybe it does, but I think it highlights how poorly Polyphia songs are mixed if you listen to them back to back
this sounds like an AI made it. Also, you sound like a gay
moron, this shit is all concocted in a studio. These homosexuals can't actually play. Post the video of this long necked homosexual trying to play with other guitarists and getting btfo.
OverPixelated bait jpeg meme.
Even zoomers are more likely to know who Metallica is than polyphia. Kys troony
Zoomers are more likely to have ass aids then a father who sticks around but that doesn't make it a good thing.
literally sounds like soulless, AI-generated music. i hate this goddamn trend so much.
cool party tricks
It is incredibly grindy. This is coming from a guy that loves Master of Puppets. Its 100% the post-production fricking too which is absolutely Lars/James.

Thanks, I threw up in my mouth for a bit.
I need to wash my ears afterwards.
I don't enjoy the vast majority of metal that I've heard because it's kinda like you describe
>geeky vaguely dark nonsense lyrics that even the singer doesn't actually care about, usually some "epic" shit about death or war but with no feeling to it
>can't understand the lyrics anyway because the singer is making barfing sounds instead of singing, except it doesn't sound cool like throat singing does it just sounds dumb
>no song structure except verse-chorus-verse, just sometimes with a quiet intro before the riffs start
>either simplistic riffs or mathematically complex but boring riffs
>unmelodic, speed-for-speed's sake guitar solos that are there for "attitude" rather than because they add to the music
>machine gun double bass drumming all through the fricking song, no real sense of rhythm
>lots of attention to how the musicians look and dress
I do like a lot of Metallica's music though, even though the guys in the band kind of seem like dicks. I think I like it because there are actually song structures, intelligible vocals, melodic solos, and Hetfield's lyrics seem actually sorta heartfelt, like he means them.
Just listen to Opeth and shut the frick up
The reason is 90% of worldwide population is Stoopid. I'm sure you love your great lovely uninteresting vaxxxed Wolinski lover npc life. I hope you reproduce, the world need more c**ts like you.

Why do morons who go out of their way to claim they either "hate metal" or "I am le cultured person who listens to all music" always have the most moronic takes that reveal they've never listened to metal at all?
You're clearly millennials who still think it's 2010 and boasting about how not listening to metal gives you some artificially refined taste.
>Plus the band members are actually well groomed and attractive,
As no women post on Cinemaphile, congrats on outing yourself as a gay. Hope the transition goes well.
>they aren't greasy noodle haired morons.
>posts band filled with greasy noodle armed morons
I've TRIED to get into metal multiple times but it's never worked characteristics like those I mentioned turn me off.
Have you not tried power metal?
Hmm, this is actually pretty good. Maybe I should try more power metal.
Power metals great for people who are dipping their toes in metal. Especially if you don’t like the harsher stuff. But there’s always darker power metal if you want some harder stuff.
>I've TRIED to get into metal multiple times
Post the bands you listened to then. Otherwise, no you didn't.
>characteristics like those I mentioned
Cover a range of subgenres from black/death/other extreme metal (the barking vocals) to power/speed/thrash metal (solos) to fricking run of the mill rock (verse-course-verse structure is not a "metal" exclusive thing)
You just don't like guitar music.
I love guitar music, like Jimi Hendrix, Zeppelin, Floyd, Deep Purple, Queen, etc. Shit, I even literally said that I like Metallica.
What metal bands have I tried to listen to? Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Burzum, and a bunch of ones whose names I don't remember.
>Jimi Hendrix, Zeppelin, Floyd, Deep Purple, Queen
You like bands that were massively influential to metal at least.
>Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Burzum
So you listened to a wide variety of genres, that have different characteristics (clean vocals vs. screamy barking vocals, shreddy solos vs. rock oriented solos, double bass fast drums vs mid paced rock drumming) yet you cast all of them under "metal" in general. I think you're just not into rock music general.
Hell, some of those bands like Maiden and Priest are as accessible as you can get (had radio play back in the day and sold out arenas) with none of the "extreme stuff" (especially unintelligible vocals, even when screaming Halford and Bruce do clean singing), and you still couldn't into "metal". I don't think you listened to much of these bands as you think.
Childrens music
Metallica was my first favorite band ever and even got me into music and playing but I think metal is largely worthless and I'm more into blues country and rock'n'roll now at 32.
frick off, moron
Then obviously you haven't ever listened to "metal".
Metal Music is an diverse and epic unfolding flower or unexplored graveyard from another reality.
It transcends your smol-brained expectations.
You better just stick to whatever it is you are into.
T. Was started in thrash and hated popular metal genres, just got burnt out by all the shit of it, missed out on the whole goremetal scene and didn't give a shit, just mained grunge, then nothing, then really got into Doomer music, Russian Doomer and GothMetal, DoomMetal and DarkWave
Pallbearer, ok or pop rock trash?
Beautiful song.
The video was really nice but the third act was confusing.
But that's always the case translating songs onto "story" type visuals within less than 4 minutes
Drummers aren’t musicians and shouldn’t presume of have an opinion (or really knowledge) on music. A machine could easily replace this hack.
I'm a drummer and I agree
Lars was always a control freak when it came to producing the albums, look at what happened with AJFA and jasons bass.
Lars is a unique type of shit that probably couldn't be replaced by a machine, someone like Dave Holland is a better example.
Lombardo mogged the shit out of him when he played with metallica that one time.
>couldn't be replaced by a machine
Kek, you're right...Drum machines actually keep in time and don't miss their fills.
Eat shit, you homosexual. Dave Holland is a nice drummer, Lars is a fricking hypocrite shithead, just like you.
This poster was molested by his drum teacher, poor guy.
Even though James is a better drummer than Lars, there would be no Metallica without him drumming period. You don't understand the soul of it.
>go to metal thread on Cinemaphile
>it is ALWAYS dad metal from the 80s and 90s
That stuff is good, of course, but I'm surprised I never see anyone post more modern stuff. There is a ton of good stuff on The Artisan Era label for instance.
I only listen to Les Binks era Priest and Maiden.
Cinemaphile has nu metal threads all the time.
>More modern stuff.
Sure.
>it is ALWAYS dad metal from the 80s and 90s
Ok what? You want some sort of different flavoring? Fine. Metallica has always existed trying to ride the coattails of much cooler earlier bands like Diamond Head. There, happy?
Here you go.
Both are top notch. Full of Hell for that classic hardcore metal and The Body for some crushing sludge/doom.
>no second chance?
Let's be honest, even if they gave Dave a second chance he would have clashed too much with James/Lars and ended up getting kicked out after one or two albums
Getting Megadeth instead was the better outcome
I hate the way lars talks, runs his mouth in every interview but never actually gets to the point of what he's talking about or says anything meaningful. He just loves stroking his ego.
As a Swede, dude’s just Danish, they’re like that

Why do we pretend the 90s killed or at least poisoned metal with commercial all style over substance shit?
The Smashing Pumpkins have better lyrics, bigger range, better sound, actual juggernaut musicians like Chamberlin and Billy.
If I had to put a band against the SP I would literally have to go for some alltime classic bands, not metallica or megashit.
Lets face it, the 90s were better. Aged better. And even make new music better.
lol the sad part is that this poster is 100% serious.
Smashing pumpkins is overrated pretentious garbage. Any other band from the era shits all over them.
The first 2 albums have some of the best guitars ever recorded and are not really pretentious as later albums.
>Lets face it, the 90s were better. Aged better. And even make new music better.
Even in the realm of punk and alt rock, the 80s was better than the 90s. Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Husker Du and Pixies >>> Smashing Pumpkins or any grunge band
Not the guy but all those bands are great. All of them. There were rock crap all the time since 1950's no need to play the those years were better, The bands you named are among my favourite bands ever, they shit all over modern scene or bands or play pretend counts.
>Lets face it, the 90s were better. Aged better.
70s music aged the best
Why is it so many gen x-ers have aged poorly? Even boomer musicians with drug fueled pasts have mostly aged fine into their 70s while their Gen X offspring look 50 pushing 65.
Psychedelics techila vs stims and whiskey
>stims and whiskey
But boomers had those too, especially in the 80s. I guess it's more a result of Gen X trying to out drink and out-drug their boomer parents and now look as old as them.
It's because even though those older rockstars abused drugs/etc. just as much if not more than Gen X, at least they did shit. Call it vril, or loosh, or "life essence" or whatever the frick but because they lived in a world that wasn't globalized or had media shoved in their faces 24/7 they had to go out and experience life, had to actually live, explore, seek, etc. etc. but Gen X whiney homosexuals just sat around and moped about how "shitty" their lower middle class life was. This is true for all people not just rockers, older generations appear much more SOVLfull or whatever to us because they truly lived instead of just existing
>but Gen X whiney homosexuals just sat around and moped about how "shitty" their lower middle class life was.
Cut them some slack. They are that way in reaction to having boomer parents who through their narcissism and insistence on "staying young" basically sucked all the oxygen out of the room and left Gen-X to feel there was no point. Nothing was worse than being a late Gen-Xer and having yuppie parents. It eventually became an obvious joke.
Then they got to work on the millennials and they had it even worse because the boomers had no direct connection to the millennials and acted out their pretenses even worse. We're 30 years into the boomers have control over everything and they're just now starting to release control but nobody knows how to lead anymore because Boomers never got the frick out of the way and stopped being control freaks. So, we're going to have to go through a world of shit to raise up a generation with that spirit. GenX, Millennials, and Zoomers all exist in Boomer's shadow.

James was known for a black or white ESP-built Gibson Explorer clone. Why did he totally frick up his brand?
From what I understand gibson sued ESP for using the explorer shape without their permission so they had to kill off the MX/EXP series. The only way you could get them now is through custom shop orders.

Such is the fate of a bleached argie
She was average looking when they were younger but definitely got walled hard as they got older. James probably just wanted to settle down with a modest women after fricking every roadie he came across in the 80's.
>right pic
She's not particularly good looking there either. Did James have a fear of marrying a supermodel or some shit?
Probably has at some point but usually women like that are low IQ as shit and generally insufferable. I can only assume he liked her because of her personality and him being a down to earth guy.
holy shit why are they posing with prime cindy crawford and why is Kirk crosseyes? Was it because she's a kino singer?
Metallica was at their peak of popularity in the 90's when the black album released and everyone knew who they were so naturally they hung out with other celebrities who were big at the time.
>Geoff Tate from Queensryche
>big celebrity

No shit I'm just saying that famous people usually have a ring of people they hang around that usually consists of other famous or high profile people.
>I'm just saying people of a given status or level tend to associate with people of a similar status or level
Brilliant observation, anon. Really good.
There were some good kino moments during the Load era.
Until smoking killed his super high range, Tate was hands down the best vocalist that metal ever saw. Better than Dio, Halford, Dickinson, Soto, Midnight, Rob Rock, anyone!
>Until smoking killed his super high range
It was already gone by 91. Couldn't even perform Take Hold of the Flame by that point.

>that one time metallica hired a bunch of gay strippers to crash the stage in the middle of queensryches set when they were on tour together
Good band but geoff was always prick.
I like Rob Rock too, but is he really in that absolute top tier of metal vocalists?
Also Midnight sucks, he sounds like Geddy Lee impersonating Geoff Tate.
I don't know much about Rob Rock but this performance has always impressed me. If the vocals are truly live I think it's killer. Clear, powerful, on pitch, great vibrato.
No, Jeez, Tate was just a little homosexual who squealed like a piggy, he also liked to suck a lot since that night in the hotel room with Ian Gillan became so notorious and made him sad. He guzzled too much semen, even more than Mark Almond in his younger days.
Meh. Sebastian bach blows tate out the water easy
holy frick that's terrifying
I have old VHS rips of MTV and during a Headbanger's Ball episode from Dec. of 1992 this commercial runs during every commercial break. It's like they were trying to annoy their audience on purpose.
James always said she was a kindred spirit in terms of his childhood struggles. Invisible kid from St anger, among other songs probably, is about this
James aged like 25 years since 2018. He's done for. Do you think he can still get it up without viagra after all the booze and depression?

Iron Maiden are better than Metallica, even if their last 3 albums have been bloated to frick.
Iron Maiden is hot garbage and has one or two good songs.
The Prisoner
The Pilgrim
Ghost of the navigator
Seventh Son
That’s it.
I recently revisited their 21st century albums after many years, a little after the release of Senjutsu. Brave New World remains my favorite of the bunch, but BNW, DoD, AMoLaD, TFF, and TBoS are all good. Some more bloated than others, but lots of good material that I enjoyed listening to once again. But I cannot get into Senjutsu. I've listened to it cover to cover on multiple occasions in many different moods, and it does nothing for me. I can't imagine ever finding myself with the desire to revisit a single track from the album. Even for Bruce, this album is absurdly verbose, good god do these tracks drag on
Pretty much everyone agrees Senjutsu is their first outright shit post-millennium record, mainly how the songs could be improved just by increasing the tempo. If any member should retire now, it should be Nicko, he can't do it anymore.
Seriously, I wasn't expecting perfection, but I was expecting something at least on par with their previous efforts. I find myself thinking "okay we get it, get it over with, end this song" during the majority of these tracks. Gotta lay some of that at Steve's feet
Do zoomers listen to metal? Are there zoomer metal bands. Shit I feel old.
All music is hip hop now. Younger generations don't even know what music instruments are.
If Cinemaphile is anything to by they're more receptive to it, as opposed to millennials who seem to collectively have had a "metal phase" one time in high school where they listened to the shittiest nu-metal and metalcore bands, then once they frick off to their debt trap day cares (college) they become hipsters who always act like they hated metal.

Shit Pirate Band was a gimmick group only liked by morons with shit taste. On average millennials completely dropped metal and rock as soon the 2010s came in besides the die hard metal fans who listen to any metal.
HE FRICKING LEFT THE BAND
>Dad metal thread
>No Judas Priest
Plebs
>the guitar shit. It's a little stock.
What if he meant the guitar had a small headstock and this is all one big misunderstanding?
how?
I have no idea. Bono strikes me as extremely fricking unlikable and a pain in the ass just to see in person, much less have actual contact with.
Probably figure it's easier to put up with each other than have members leave who could launch a lawsuit over royalties or some shit.
I think they're the only band that lasted that long with all the original members. Queen too but Freddie died of the gay plague AIDS
>how?
U2 have no talent and thus very little of the latent neurosis that plagues actually good bands thus they generally get along work together as a professional unit. They're incredibly dull and mediocre generic "rock band". Very safe. That's why companies like Apple like to use them. POP MART wasn't really a joke. It's in-line with their image of being incredibly gay, but also boring and corporate.
For years, the POP MART special with K-Mart was the lowest rated tv event of all time and then they tried to act like it was supposed to "ironic". Nevermind that this was years before being moronic on purpose was mainstream.
Unironically the troubles
>we need to rehab our image after the Napster debacle
>so let's do an AOL commercial
1983 Metallica would kick the shit out of 2003 Metallica for being homosexuals.
This proves that Lars has some israelite gold reserves to keep the band going, because this is the kind of shit that destroys other bands.
They were actually pretty much forced to do some good investments by literally the only non scamming israelites in the universe.
They got really fricking lucky finding a single non scamming lawyer israelite that instead of selling them snake oil he told them how to make money out of their money.
Jason tells this story often. He still gets a lot of money from the black album yearly but he also gets way more money from other investments the lawyers of the band told him (and the rest) to do 30 years ago. The whole band did a shit ton of good investments on top of the Metallica profit.
Kiss might be the only band richer than them.
Pink Floyd is up there. IIRC they made a fricking fortune off of Dark Side, lost it all to bad investments, then made it all back with Animals and WYWH. Then they made even more off of The Wall, which they invested well and made a frick ton of money off of.
I've never seen this before and thought it was a edited parody at first.
St. Anger is literally fricking good and anybody who doesn't like it who is a fan of Metallica just buys into a meme.
>snare goes *PONG*
anon...
You're still buying into the meme. It sounds good and was part of the attitude of the album. You could just be an autist who needs everything to sound clean and perfect 100 percent of the time.
Why doesn't Lars use a ride cymbal? Some of the best stuff in metal is accented with the ride, it's great, but he shoves a another china where his ride would go.
I love a good ride, but Metallica is generally too fast. The most effective ride cymbal shit is mid-tempo. It really comes out of a jazz thing. He put a kino splash cymbal in AJFA though.
The last time I played with another drummer ever I suggested he incorporate ride because it would give our jam some serious pocket but he got mad about "he plays what he wants to play". it was then that I came to accept drum tracks and digital recording.
Drummers are normie homosexuals unless they're black, then they're super cool and get it.
I like this shit. is it ride triplets?
?t=200
Sounds like he's playing eight, sixteenth, eighth, sixteenth, eighth on ride, the first of the pattern on the bell.
The only band even close to metal that effectively incorporated ride cymbal in a consistent manner to become a part of their "sound" was Scott Rockenfield with Queensryche, but again their shit is a lot of mid-tempo. The breakdown at the end of Eyes of a Stranger is probably the most classic example.
?t=280
Again, most effective at mid-tempo or slow with most rock otherwise it gets lost.
Metallica is rarely mid-tempo. Even rarer slow.
Still, seems like the only white drummers who really get it come out of jazz drumming or study it. RIP Toto's drummer who knew right when to come in with it. Guitar solo and then the breakdown on this song are perfect. Also, I wish that bicycle frame were me.
?t=180
I get what you're saying but to be fair not wanting to ruin an album with arrogant "risk taking" and clearly not having anyone around able to question it is not being "an autist who needs everything to sound clean". You're allowed to experiment, just don't frick it up. Lars got away with no bass in AJFA, then got away with mainstream production with Black Album, then "got away" with going pop with Load. He got wienery and it finally caught up with him.
oh my god look at this dumb fricking nerd homosexual shit
or don't, cause i'm not reading this moronic garbage
ask me how I know you've never touched a vegana
no u
Ok very reasonable argument on the snare even though I still like it. I also think Load and Re-Load are literally peak artistry of Metallica. I didn't like that they devolved into thrash again to try to suck old people's dicks. I'm 32.
Ride metal is gay 100 percent.
>Formed arguably one of the most influential heavy metal bands in the history of heavy metal
>Played lead guitar for nearly 40 fricking years
>Refused to ever learn one single guitar scale, might not have even known what a guitar scale was
astronomically based
the grug of metal
Lars dad was a moron. I would have loved to see what this album would have been like isntead of the shit that got released.
>ctrl+f Newsted

lol moron
What are some bands similar to Metallica.
I want to make a spotify playlist with just this kind of crap
Testament up through The Ritual. They literally would clone every Metallica album after it came out down to the song. This is their "Dyer's Eve"
*Also, Testament is worth listening to because their guitarist, Alex Skolnick was godlike and made all these albums worth it. Literally the opposite of Kirk.
>Alex Skolnick was godlike
he also has mad jazz chops
Jazz is fun as frick to play but absolutely terrible to listen to. Being a "jazz fan" who just listens to jazz is peak pretentious
>t. former high school state champion jazz band guitarist
I assume you mean straight Thrash Metal, so:
Evile
Power Trip
Death Angel
Testament
Vio-Lence
Kreator
Warbringer
Lich King
HeXen
Metal Church
Sepultura
Out of all these, Evile wears their Metallica influence on their sleeve. They also lost their bassist in Sweden.
Lars understood perfectly the vision of mentallica even better than the producers or band members I'd say.
Getting this thread back on track and Cinemaphile related. Was it kino?
>le acting bug
This was definitely during james relapse.
Says the guy who hasn't improved on his instrument since 1982
1984*
Flemming Rasmussen made him get drum lessons for Ride the Lightning.
This is Jaymez ESP signature guitar released in 2014
What does it say about Jaymez?
He's deeply confused and doesn't know what "signature" implies in this context since he has like a half dozen signature models and they're all completely different. I like that he came out with "signature" picks ffs in a range of thickness as if guitarists dont just use one or maybe two types of picks in practice.
Midlife crisis boomer.
