NGAMER9 said:Edit: Not just any remix either, there've been a few people that remixed it fantastically and some that didn't know what they were doing, seek out "Mark III" if you want it.
I remember someone from Testament talking shit about St. Anger a few years ago. I'd never heard of them, so I got my hand on their CDs and gave a listen. Not lying at all....just being dead honest....they were terrible. Every once-in-a-while I heard an interesting riff, but that was all.Ænima said:It's not really just how they influenced other thrash bands. I would bet Metallica inspired a ton of kids to pick up guitars, and many of them probably ended up playing different types of metal or rock.
Somehow I doubt fucking Testament has had more of an influence in music than Metallica.
Shit man, thanks, this is awesome.NGAMER9 said:seek out "Mark III" if you want it.

Lars cant play that.Vincent Alexander said:
TheLastCandle said:Lars SUCKS now. He's never been great, but it should be a sign of your abilities diving head first into the toilet when you alter his back catalogue as much as he does to get through a set.
Vincent Alexander said:Am I the only one who loved when they got bluesy? Re-Load is one of my favorites. I absolutely love Fixxxer. The lyrics and instruments get me every time.
metsallica said:Metallica has been my favorite band for over 20 years, so it warms my heart to see this thread stay relatively civil. I've seen them play all across the country, from shows with 80,000 in attendance to shows with a few hundred (was tough to go to other concerts after that one...). I've watched them grow as musicians and people and regress as both too many times to count, but after all these years one thing remains true: they still move me, and they still make music I enjoy. It might not be of the same caliber as it once was, it might not even be in the same genre, but it still speaks to certain aspects of my being, in many ways more than it ever has, and for that I'll forever be grateful. Whenever they release an album, I'll be there. Whenever they play a show and I'm local (or somewhat local!), I'll be there. They've been there for me, whether they realize it or not, so I'm happy to repay even if they're not quite the same band I went crazy for in third grade.
-Eddman- said:-The Call of Ktulu is their best instrumental.
Completely agree. In particular, the live version of The Four Horsemen on Some Kind of Monster EP is one of my favorites.boris feinbrand said:I pretty much like all their albums for different reasons. But I have to say that I vastly prefer their live performances over their studio recordings. To me there is not a single studio recording except for maybe Garage Inc and Kill em all that actually comes close to the energy and atmosphere they convey during live performances. Especially Ride the lightning and Master of Puppets sound too sterile and clean.
Unfortunately, there's probably not much you can do sound-quality wise aside from that DVD rip (I have the DVD too, it is much better than the album). The problem with St. Anger isn't the mixing, there's not nearly as much clipping as Death Magnetic, it is the overprocessed guitars and the drum sound, and there's nothing we can do about that now.Gouty said:Interesting. I know we don't have access to the master recordings or anything but I wonder if anything could be done with St. Anger. I made a rip of the DVD that came with that album of them playing it live, in the rehearsal space and usually listen to that instead of the actual album.
Verano said:Metallica is overrated like Slayer....if there's an album that deserves to be bought, people should personally own "Kill Em All" that's it. Kill em all was and is still the best fuckin album they ever released and everything went down hill after Kill Em all. Being unfair? Hardly. Sure there's a few songs like Fight fire with fire (ride the lightning), and from the master of puppets are songs like Battery, and disposable heroes that should be in your Ipod ASAP.
Master of Puppets the greatest metal album ever?
Meh.
Not with Escape on there.Sobriquet said:Fight Fire With Fire is the worst song on Ride the Lighting. Just sayin'.

shorty_symd said:Re-load was my first Metallica album. I borrowed the audio tape from a friend during a scouts camping trip (he wanted my X Files Movie soundtrack) and got hooked the second Fuel started. Memory Remains, Devil's Dance, Unforgiven 2, Prince Charming and Low Man's Lyric. All great tracks in my opinion and I loved every minute of it. It wasn't after a year and a bit did I look into Metallica's pre-Black albums (after buying Load and Black) and I understood why some people didn't like Load/Reload. Those albums were far better. But I still love the Load/Re-load albums regardless.
3ur4zn said:I agreed with everything you said, but this made me want to punch you in the throat. ORION.
Also, Suicide and Red had a fantastic climax, but the rest of it is a little dull.

DieNgamers said:To me Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are pretty much the only thrash albums manage to balance actual songwriting and steamrolling metal riffs. They were such a huge step up from Kill 'em All!
You can sing with the riffs or just bang your head...It's all so memorable and tight! Metallica had their very own style and didn't sound like the hundrets of samey bands of that era. The only album that comes close is Peace Sells by Megadeth, in my opinion.

Puddles said:IMO, the top-tier Load/Reload songs are just as good as most of the songs on their first five albums. There are just too many mediocre or even poor songs that you have to skip over to get to the good stuff. It really should have been one album.
I can feel my brain turning into mush reading this sentence. The only solo he's done that's on par with a Mustaine solo is the absolute greatness of the Ride the Lightning solo.Giant Robot said:Technically and theory-wise Kirk Hammet is leagues ahead of Mustaine in the solo/lead dept.
Combichristoffersen said:Trapped Under Ice is a bit poop too.
Puddles said:Fucking heresy. That's one of their top 10 songs.
Ride the Lightning's solo is a song in itself. One of the best interplays between rhythm and lead in metal.corkscrewblow said:I can feel my brain turning into mush reading this sentence.

Wake Up Dead is the de-facto greatest Mustaine soloing.Puddles said:Fucking heresy. That's one of their top 10 songs.
Also, best Mustaine solos? I've been meaning to get more into Megadeth.
