It's only cool for a bass player , or somebody interested in that ... Most people I know hate this one ! (don't misunderstand me , I like it)

I love them all , but I agree that Orion was the best ... Very cool music from the four instrumentalist , pure genius.

My personal fav metallica song is Of wolf and man, it has an awesome riff and great solo, check it out.

So what is ur fav metallica solo?

I think Kirk has played alot of stuff that should never have been on tape...

His solos in "One" are really nice though. For pure shred'n headbanging (no musical purpose in mind), "Creeping Death" and "Dyers Eve" are fun too.

If you ask me, the only "perfect" solo Metallica ever played was "Nothing Else Matters". Just my opinion.

the one's in fade to black is also great

My opinion about Kirk´s solos are:

Kill Em All-fast and furious, pretty same stuff whole the time and lots of penta scale (almost the only one that he uses on the entire album). But he only had like 2 weeks to come up with all stuff so he really didn´t have time to explore. I like those solos but some more variety wouldn´t hurt.

Ride The Lightning-It´s pretty obvius here that Kirk had lot more time to work on solos. Still lots of penta scales but the melt in the song much better than Kill Em All solos. Ride, Fade, Creep and Ktulu are great solos.

Master Of Puppets-My opinion Kirk´s finest work pretty much thanx to Sanitarium (Slash wouldn´t do it much better him self), Orion all three, Damage Inc (tasty) and the greatest Metallica/Kirk solo ever Disposable Heroes. Man that one really kicks a$$ especially during the half time feel.

...And Justice For All-Nice technique on this ones. Kirk admits him self that he overdid a couple solos. Great sound btw. One solos are classics. There´s even some of Kirks hardest solos like Dyers Eve and Shortest Straw.

Black Album-hello wah-wah. Almost evry solo is played with wah. Sandman is a classic one, Roam solo is a little bit odd to hear from Kirk (what´s happend to all those penta licks), Struggle Within is a cool solo (nice pedal notes) and great feelin´ on Unforgiven (again, Slash wouldn´t do it better)

Rest Of Albums-No comment.

Load & Reload of course. Probably St Anger too.

Now I got U dud. But I´m lokin´ forward to hear St Anger stuff. I really hope they speed it up ´cause all slow heavy metal (that they been up too) is pretty boring. C´mon Kirk, fire those penta licks like you used to!!!

Dejan , wasn't all of Kill'em All solos written by Dave Mustaine before he got kicked out (with exception to the first slow solo on the 4 horsemen)... Not deadsure of that, but that's what I've heard long ago.


My fav Metallica Solo/Rhythm work (technically & musically) has to be "And Justice For All" album .

But there´s a big bug on that one. Yoy know what I´m talkin´ ´bout, where the hell is the bas????!!!!

Metallica died in 1991. They were replaced by some dudes that kind of look like them. The band that calls themselves Metallica now needs to change their band name to Flufftallica.

I remember one of anti-metallica sites which spreaded onlline after the release of Load called them AlternicA , which is pretty matching and funny . :D

No offence to alternative fans.

But still guys we must give ´em HUGE respect ´cause anyway you turn it, they are the greatest metal band ever...still today actually.

Metallica made all those trend changes excellent, back in mid 90-s old fashioned metal was deep deep underground so they knew that they had to change somthing. Actually, I think that they opend it up for bands like Korn, Limp and rest of nu metal bands (my opinion).

Metallica gained also radio listners wich became fans and have definitly more fans now than they had back in the 80-s our even after Black Album.

No doubt that they sold out but they did it well. Now it seems like they are heading back in the good old form so St Anger will have a lot to prove and for all us old Metallica 80-s fans, I mean c´mon, would´t you like to see ´em live again? Also with Robert on bas it can be damn exciting ´cause he´s better that Jason and probably (techniqlly) better than Cliff R.I.P.

No metter what Metallica do and how much they sell out our how slow Kirk plays our how egoistic Lars is our how much James´ singin´ has improved over the past years, they are nr 1.

I believe that they were going to make it to mtv and get more radio fans even if they didn't change ... If you checked the sale numbers of their albums before "black album" , it was rising dramaticaly ... I remember that I've read or heard that "justice" album sold 7 million copies in the U.S. only , and that was realy something.

Since they made their change , they became more of a live band than anything else , but that was cool cuz IMHO , they're the best and the most interesting live band in the world ever.

I realy wish like every metalhead that their next album would be in-your-face metal like the old days , but I'm not too optimistic about that cuz everything going around metallica (with exception to the new bassist "rob trujilo") doesn't seem promising at all.

"Tuesday's Gone". I don't know if anyone mentioned this one yet, but its a great cover.

Are you talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone". If you are, I had no idea Metallica did a cover of that. Where can you find it?

I think it's in garage inc.

I am very aware of Lynrd Skynrd's version, but I also found a Metallica version. It also sounds like there are different lead singers throughout the song.

yep, i'm sure it's in garage inc.

I don't think anyone has mentioned "Bleeding Me" yet... that's a wicked song!
