the remixed versions of ...And Justice For All with the proper boosted bass guitar tracks are pure kino. Lars is such a fucking nigger.

A rerelease with about five songs from each would be stronger than either.

you aren't wrong but this isn't that album friendo

Don't forget Lars killing off his bass in AJFA

He was technically better than Burton tbqh, he just didn't have the same mystique on stage, though that may just be an inevitability when playing the role of successor.

Also I'm glad narrow-ass '80s string spacing on fives is over unless you're fucking EBMM.

Goes without saying. Lars was such an unnecessary cunt to him -- but James equally was too.

Do metalheads even exist anymore?

Also glam/hair metal started all those faggy trends.

Remember when Metallica made music?
What do they even do now?
Megadeth were the winners in the end it seems, still doing an album every few years and touring constantly. Though Dave ain't as metal as he was in the 80s anymore (what the fuck was that Super Collider nonsense?).

Dystopia was good

Yeah 80s normie metal was gay as fuck then made an ironic comeback in 00s when numetal vanished and was replaced with emo. The hardcore scene was the big thing last i checked but I've never considered just a metalhead so i dunno really. I like early metallica though, i consider that peak metal but I'm a 30yo boomer

>This is literally a nice song.

Sure, if you like bands like Creed and shit.

You probably weren't alive during that time, but when Metallica went from being the premier metal band to a mediocre country rock band, that shit stung. Also the whole Napster thing was the worst PR imaginable.

Why?

Country has metal strings, angsty lyrics, minor keys...

They now retcon it and try to blame studio execs for putting them up to it which actually makes it even funnier than if they just up and decided to be the clueless faggots on their own.

they actually changed and matured with age instead of just making the same edgy metal all the time. that's why slayer never made it past gymnasiums.

This is good party music.

Is that Warwick Davis?

>Matured= Makimg the same shitty alternative stuff everyone else does to get popular
Lot of integrity and maturity there

>Death Magnetic and Hardwired
Sure, but at the same time they sound manufactured. DM was fist 4 albums meshed together. Hardwired was maybe a bit more creative, but overall it went more or less the same route.
Still... better than anything they made since AJFA. And no, I don't care about Black Album. Fuck off.

I'll defend the drum sounds on St Anger.

It sounds very tribal. It's very distinct.

Alternative country metal acts?

No-one sounds like Load and Reload. They're almost unique.

Hard to say why, I think the main thing is the Black album made them more accessible (most normies don't like thrash).

It had a good mix of standard heavy rock songs (Enter Sandman) and ballads (Nothing Else Matters) which made things easy; I even knew a black dude who loved Wherever I May Roam.

They also seemed like fairly normal dudes, and weren't oddballs like hair metal bands were. The US didn't really have the highest quality of metal bands at the time, especially compared to the UK.

The Brits dominated heavy rock and metal from basically the mid 60s-late 80s. Then the Americans dominated the 90s with the rise of bands like GNR, Skid Row and off the wall bands like Korn, Marilyn Manson, etc.

Then Grunge killed off metal in the mainstream (especially in the US).

>in LA there would be urban cowboy types dipping skoal and driving bigass trucks.

Anyone with any talent in Metallica either died or got booted out.

That being said though Dave's attempts at aping their transition into mainstream rock were even worse. Risk is the shittiest album either band released.

Old enough to remember when Metallica actually came on MTV when you around a bunch of plebs. It was like your heros were there to show all the newbs how cool life could be.

Cliff barely wrote anything. And they only used a handful of Dave's riffs after he was kicked out.

On a similar note, it still amazes me how approachable and down-to-earth the Iron Maiden guys are.

Ikr. Some kind of monster is when normies realized just how retarded they actually are.

Speaking of Maiden, got to hang out with Bruce, Adrian and a few others after a gig one time. Love those guys.

NOTHING has the energy and freshness of KEA, the sense of "here's some new shit happening, fuck your face". MOP and AJFA feature more technically proficiency and more "serious" songs, but verge on the pretentious and bloated all around, plus a couple weaker numbers on each breaking up the power of the churn. KEA and RTL are the very essence of thrash, no filler, balls out start to finish.

>Do metalheads even exist anymore?
Last I checked metal was alive and well in exile in Europe with lots of great new bands more or less keeping it going in 80's tradition from thrash and prog. It's still very popular in S. America and Japan as well.

In America it never really recovered from everybody downtuning in the 90's. It was just a string of fad sub-genres puntuated by self-aware and insincere "revival" bands. And now this generation's metal musicians are probably fucking off playing video games instead. Not that it matters much because it'll never be a major genre again and that type of music is still relatively expensive to produce. Any edgy faggot with something to say would have an easier time pretending to be Trent Reznor alone wearing headphones in his basement rather than Dave Mustaine out trying to find a drummer and looking for rehearsal space.

James and Lars got inside that dudes head and never left. Living rent free and all that. As Dave told it, they said at one point that he didn't "take enough risks" so he made an album literally called "Risk" and it wasn't all that good. They did Unforgiven II and he did Return to Hangar. He's had a great career, but I kinda feel sorry for the guy at the same time lol. He's obviously obsessed and S E E T H I N G

Bruce Dickinson
60 years old
Still writing and performing metal, is a qualified commercial pilot, possesses a degree in history and has a doctorate of music, was an Olympic fencer, has hosted national radio shows, written books and currently owns multiple successful businesses.

Metallica didn't "mature" -- they sold out.

because right off the start Hetfield had an ear for poppy melodies

On Kill Em All:

Dave Mustaine wrote the four horsemen in its entirety, but James wrote the lyrics because everyone agreed Dave's (Mechanix) were cheesy as fuck, which they are, and Lars got a credit for changing arrangement with an interlude that Dave had them add as a joke because Lars was too retarded to realize they were adding essentially sweet home alabama as a change of pace.

Dave wrote the music for Jump in the Fire, Lars got a credit again for his arrangements and James for writing the lyrics.

Dave wrote Phantom Lord, Ulrich grabbed another credit "arranging" and James wrote the lyrics

Dave wrote parts of Metal Militia along with Hetfield.

Dave did not write anything at all on:
-Hit the Lights
-Motorbreath
-Pulling Teeth
-Whiplash
-No Remorse
-Seek and Destroy

Dave has gone on record stating that he's cool with James' credits for the lyrics on those songs, but disputes that Lars should have any credits at all because allegedly he didn't contribute shit

Cliff Burton's only writing credit was his bass solo (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth

On Ride the Lightning
:
Dave has a credit on Ride the Lightning. He says he wrote the majority of the song, James says he wrote the bridge riff between the chorus (Flash before my eyes...Burning in my brain...) and refrain (Someone help me...oh please god help me...) which is likely since it's extremely similar to another riff Dave uses on Wake Up Dead on the Peace Sells album

Dave has a credit on The Call of Ktulu, again he claims he wrote most of it, others dispute that

Dave has no writing credits on:
-Fight Fire with Fire
-For Whom the Bell Tolls
-Fade to Black
-Trapped Under Ice
-Escape
-Creeping Death

Burton's credits are on all of these except Trapped Under Ice and Escape

how was the black album trendy? idiot.

Holy Wars
Hangar 18
Take no Prisoners
Five Magics
RIP... Polaris
Wake Up Dead

Make sure you listen to them in their original recordings.

dickinson's voice sucks since 2006. they literally have 2 templates for their songs. it's either a fast-paced 4 minute adrenaline rush or a 9 minute epic opened by a 2 minute bass session. besides, iron maiden were always more serious, even in their youth, simply because of the nature of their lyrics. the themes they depict are eternal no matter the age. same with sabbath, dio etc.

Bye.

Likewise on Master of Puppets Dave has zero writing credits. He has claimed to have written riffs used in Leper Messiah, but again this is disputed by James and Lars

So no Dave claims on:
-Battery
-Master of Puppets
-The Thing That Should Not Be
-Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
-Disposable Heroes
-Orion
-Damage, Inc

With a questionable claim on Leper Messiah, which is uncredited, and considering metallica went to the trouble to credit Dave on his RTL stuff, it seems unlikely they would shut him down on the next album.

Credits for Burton:

-Master of Puppets
-Orion

So in short, no, Dave didn't even write the majority of songs on the album to which he directly contributed, and his credits were not present on any songs of arguably the greatest metal album of all time. Cliff Burton does not show up in a ton of writing credits on master of puppets either, however his influence, as well as Dave's goes far beyond simply the credits. Dave was the best guitarist any of them had ever met when he joined metallica and he influenced James' playing and writing styles moving forward without question. Cliff was constantly tinkering with new ideas or suggestions for the compositions of others, and introduced the band members to a lot of different types of music and to basic music theory which influenced them heavily.

Bottom line: James Hetfield is a talented rhythm guitarist and an excellent songwriter, Lars is a poor drummer who managed to mooch writing credits for "arrangement", but was a shameless self promoter and band promoter. His campaigns to send out demo tapes to fans, and working to get the band shows they didn't deserve early on is what got them going and kept them moving, making him a necessary part of the band's success as well.

If you want to hate anyone, hate Kirk Hammett and his stupid fucking wah pedal.

Eh he didn't deserve it so hard, they were one month away from the record when they fired him. Imagine you're about to realize the dream of your life and suddenly your band puts you in a bus and says you're out and it's all over. James and Lars will be on his mind for the rest of his life.

Dude had cancer in his throat, it's amazing he was singing at all. Plus, it's normal for someone with massive range like him losing his edge a bit -- same thing happened with Halford, Dio, Tate, etc.

Even if it is more eternal (which I totally agree with), the fact is it's still metal. Metal being an angsty thing was memed in the 80s when Gore's wife tried her hardest to ban all metal music for being "satanic" and containing "anti-social" messages. Shit metal solely relies on angst. It's the remnants of punk's influence on the NWOBHM, which then infected speed/thrash metal.

>Make sure you listen to them in their original recordings.
Very important. The remaster of Rust in Peace for example is a travesty, because the masters for certain things were somehow lost or destroyed, and Dave decided to fill in the gaps which also meant re-recording the vocals for it like 15 years after the fact which sounds just absolutely dreadful. Also the original release was so fucking good nobody ever needed to tinker with it.

If any, maybe the most recent remaster of Killing is My Business, since I think the original quality is so absolutely low it's not really a detraction like it would be...say...remastering Kill Em All.

Dave Mustaine is a better guitarist than anyone in Slayer

Apart from his wah pedal, how good is Kirk as a guitarrist?

Anthrax is shit but Slayer only has 3 good albums. Everything after Seasons sucks horrible ass, like borderline unlistenable. Overkill was better than Anthrax and should have gotten more respect

He made his own band and realized the dream on his own terms it would've been worse for him if he left a decade later

Slayer is a meme, maybe only 2 or 3 good songs in their entire catalog. Death shits all over them.

not very, and James/Lars probably liked it that way. All of the interesting, melodic solos in Metallica are James' solos. Kirk is literally just there because you had to have a "lead guitarist" with solos in metal back then, but they never would have tolerated anyone even a bit headstrong (and they didnt). The scene where they float getting rid of the solos in the documentary and Kirk finally has to speak up is darkly hilarious but sad.

Who cares? It's all about energy and atmosphere, I'm not listening to jazz or prog rock to give a shit about how talented a guitarrist is in a thrash metal band. I want agressive and fast music. And Slayer mastered this shit.

Oh and Dave's voice is fucking shit. He sounds like a bunch of cats fighting over a dead mouse. Megadeth is just garbage.

>arguably the greatest metal album of all time
Have Metallica fans ever listened to any other metal album?

He never got over it. You can read his twitter feed sometimes and he's like NAH WE'RE OVER IT, STOP ASKING ME ABOUT METALLICA STUFF, WE'RE BEST FRENS NOW!

The next week he's on some radio show where he says how Kirk Hammett does a good job working with what he's got, making an obvious reference to Kirk's limited skill set, which is probably something that friends wouldn't exactly say about each other, and people give him shit, then he goes back into the whole "HEY HEY WHOA WHOA WHY ARE YOU GUYS BLOWING THIS UP AGAIN, WE'RE FRIEND, IT'S LAID TO REST!"

It will never be laid to rest with him. He's saying he's at peace now as a big cope, and he's just not doing drugs anymore to get himself back into a state of mind to go full bore "fuck those guys!" again. He's still seething and you can't really blame him, but it's all just so sad that after decades and being one of the absolute best metal musicians ever, and quite literally willing himself to success by pure ability alone, he can't let himself feel good about it because Lars and James moved more units. Sucks, must be difficult living with it.

United Abominations and Endgame were a fantastic return to form and I'd argue that Head Crusher and This Day We Fight are two of the greatest songs they've ever released, then they went back to Thirteen which borderline sounded like a Foo Fighters album. The only songs even resembling metal on that release are ones they were specifically asked to write for video games.

Basically this. Metallica is a weird band. James is the best songwriter, guitarist, and drummer in the band. Lars is the only extrovert with any business sense so they became co-dependent. They realized with Kill Em All that the actual driving force of their music was going to be the rhythm guitar and vocals, so they figured anyone who can sloppily shred some solo will do, and they hired Kirk because he was a docile introvert weirdo from San Francisco who wouldn't give them trouble like Dave did.

No problem dude, hope you like them.

Tom's voice at least fits the music.

Nah sorry man. Dave is just shit.

Yeah, its shit just like Slayers music

I never saw Kirk as a bad guitarist, he's just correct for Metallica. He was never a technical guy, and I'd say both James and Dave are ahead of him, but Kirk can still impress me sometimes

welp, that would make him the first "great guitarist" criminally un-recognized for metal riffs, i guess, because he's strictly adequate and unremarkable at his actual job as a lead guitarist (and like i said, that's probably the point).

Didn't Hetfield kick Mustaine's dog after it urinated on his car which lead to him going apeshit at James and getting kicked out of the band? I'd do that as well if someone kicked my dog.

Nick Menza, who was Chuck Behler's drum tech, joined Megadeth in 1989, and the band recorded their only track ever as a three-piece: a cover of Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" for the Wes Craven-directed horror flick, Shocker. Video director Penelope Spheeris would later recount in the Megadeth episode of Behind The Music that Mustaine showed up to the video shoot so fried on heroin and other drugs that he could not sing and play guitar at the same time; therefore, the singing and playing had to be recorded separately.

Mustaine was arrested for "impaired driving" that March with seven or more drugs in his system and was forced by authorities to enter a rehabilitation program (the first of his 15 visits to rehabilitation centers).

The weirdest band of all time is Pink Floyd. No one in Pink Floyd is a good songwriter and they are decent at max at their respective instruments but they wrote some of the best music ever. The only talented songwriter was Syd Barrett but he leave the band in after their second album.

How do you even start a fucking car at that point?

>No one in Pink Floyd is a good songwriter and they are decent at max at their respective instruments

Dude, what?

>Metallica gets together to write Hardwired album
>Kirk was supposed to be working on riffs for forever
>shows up at the studio, no riffs
>"where are your fucking riffs you've been working on, Kirk?"
>claims that he recorded all his ideas on his iPhone for the course of like 8 years, and it was lost at the airport on his way to go record the album
>James and Lars don't buy it but can't call him out on it without causing a serious fight
>decide to go ahead with the album with zero input from Kirk "I swear, I wrote a lot of great riffs but I don't remember any of them and they were lost on my cellphone on the way over here..." Hammett
>quality of the album is as good as expected from Metallica, still packed full of excellent guitar riffs, tight changes etc.
Yeah, Kirk is really the great riff master in metallica, that's for sure, the first album since Kill Em All that he has absolutely fucking zero writing credits on, yet the album sounds suspiciously exactly like a metallica album!

Waters and Gilmour are shit songwriters.

>Such a good guitarist that being absolutely destroyed on heroin only impairs your ability to do both at the same time
Absolute beast

>No one in Pink Floyd is a good songwriter and they are decent at max at their respective instruments
oh for fucks sake..

So Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall, some of the most popular, influential and commercially successful albums created in human history were written by.......?

>Pink Floyd
>Best anything
Pink Floyd is the Metallica of prog; it's for people who don't actually like prog

>they are decent at max at their respective instruments

David Gilmour on guitar is far beyond "decent". You Zoomers are fucking idiots when it comes to judging shit you know nothing about.

If this isn't bait, you literally have the most retarded musical opinion I've heard.

It's an anonymous imageboard, son. You don't have to pretend to like Pink Floyd like everyone else does here.

I'm a fan of prog and have listened to a shitload of trash. Pink Floyd are definitely one of the best in their genre.

They're just more accessible because they don't have a 10 minute organ solo like ELP, 22 minute track like Jethro Tull or have songs talking about public housing evictions like Genesis.

The Wall is one of the most boring songs I have ever heard. I don't understand why everyone loves it.

Metal fans and bands got so obsessed about being heavier and heavier, and more and more technical they forgot they needed to actually make decent music.

All this shit literally sounds the same.

anyone else totally musically illiterate? I have no idea how you guys rate who is a better guitarist or songwriter or whatever, all music of a genre is like 90% similar to me

Knowing how to play an instrument and/or knowing music theory helps out a bunch I think.

At the end of the day, just trust your ears the same way you trust your eyes when watching a film. You can tell whether a director is shit or not right off the bat. Music is similar.

Burton was highly overrated. The only reason people cream their pants over him is because he died in the crash

You know you're getting old when the "sellout" melodic, downtuned metal sound makes a comeback after the actual authentic metal comeback has already come and gone. I've been at this too long.

I haven't seen this shit in like a decade. Still hilarious.

This was in the related videos and was expecting some cringe shit, but it was actually really sweet:

I've hated these faggots since they released that abortion Black Album, but I'm glad they're doing some nice stuff to balance out the embarrassment they've been since the late 90s.

but kerry king is a cucksoy extraordinaire

God, this is the kinda band you would see on Eurovision from some shithole Eastern European country like Estonia.

I bet they played all their songs at the same time to fuck with the autist when the cameras stopped rolling.

But nah, they've always been pretty good to their fans, excluding the whole Napster thing. You can see videos where they used to invite fans out to their recording sessions in the 80s/90s.

Dude unironically looks like Jason in the thumbnail kek

Beyond actually playing music, critical listening is a thing anyone can do. Actually sit down and pay attention to what you're hearing, don't just let it be a backdrop to something else you're doing.

Watch this shit if you want to see Metallica hitting rock bottom
youtube.com/watch?v=uyb2WfsPpGY
Imagine being Jason there

It's not bad for what it is, i guess. It's just weird hearing mid 00's melodic metalcore make a "comeback". At least there's no rapping or DJ. It's basically Killswitch Engage with no screaming/growling.

youtube.com/watch?v=U85ZFkJXxFk

How is this rock bottom? What are you even talking about?
Is it because they're not wearing all denim while pounding brews and screaming "metal up yer ass" every two seconds and banging their heads together?

>Kirk pops up looking like an even gayer Jack Sparrow

Kek. It's like they all simultaneously went through a mid-life crisis. You can tell Jason just wants to play metal, but had to go along with the charade.

Metallica had a crisis in the late 90s, did you just find out?

to be fair, look at any pics from the mid-90's through the early 00's. EVERYONE was going through a crisis. The only reason shit became less cringe is everyone stopped giving a fuck.

WHAT A GREAT DEAL
WHAT A GREAT FIND

DAMN I LOOK SEXY AS HEEEEELLLLLLLLL

He wasn't Cliff and the band hated him for it.
No epic bass leads like on Ride the Lightning.

>Sure, if you like bands like Creed and shit.
Creed are based. They were trying to redpill the masses.

So what you’re saying is Lars murdered Cliff and staged the whole accident.

>twice in one thread
Ok, fine. If none of these other faggots are going to post it, I will. Fucks sake. Make me have to go looking for shit...

Dave had such a good run in the 2000's, I still listen to United Abominations to this day. What went wrong?

I did not mind it. It bothers me when some bands go to being multi millionaires flying around in jets, living in mansions and still trying to give the impression they know the roots of the music.

It's every bit as fake as bands that keep chancing their image to what's new and cool to try and sell records.

Does Alice in Chains' 'Dirt' count as metal? That's arguably my GOAT, Ride the Lightning, A Vulgar Display of Power not far behind,

They've been dead to me musically since Black Album. They're even worse if you read about just how terribly they treated Jason the entirety of his run with the band. We'll never get a version of Justice with actual bass in it either.

They were mostly a joke with Load/Reload, but St. Anger was where just became such a parody act. The music was god awful, and that fucking documentary. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. A bunch of faggot millionaires crying about how hard it is to write middle school edgelord "metal"

Where is the crisis in that video, you dumb fag?

Probably just by marketing, but if we're being honest, if their primary influence - King's X is considered "progressive hard rock" then you'ld have to put AiC in the realm of "hard grunge" or some such thing. Then again, once you allow for the genre of "Alternative Metal", then it's probably fair game. I know some people who consider Alice in Chains to be "prog metal". Of course, these same people argue that Days of the New were "acoustic metal" so...

i meant they consider Alice in Chains to be "alt metal". Nobody thinks AiC is prog.

Childhood is Metallica

Adulthood is Type O Negative

>youtube.com/watch?v=p9GAEFTeWko

True, I guess it is hard grunge at the end of the day. Either way, my GOAT.

YIKES

nah, genre autists would assert that they know precisely where every band should go, and even break them down by albums and tracks. I'm telling you I don't know shit and could only venture a guess, mostly based on context.

>muh Syd

Didn't he do 2 solo records that sucked? Also he was legit too mental to function

>While at rehab, Mustaine suffered an injury causing severe nerve damage to his left arm. The injury, induced by falling asleep with his left arm over the back of a chair caused compression of the radial nerve.[24] He was diagnosed with radial neuropathy,[25] also known as Saturday Night Palsy, which left him unable to grasp or even make a fist with his left hand.

Fucking Dave

go back to Yea Forums

James drove in Nascar?

You've only listened to Holy Wars and you're calling Megadeth shit? I'll fucking knock ur teeth out mate

that said I love Dave's vocals and I love Geddy Lee's vocals. I like odd vocals.

>Lars is a poor drummer who managed to mooch writing credits for "arrangement

Apparently, he does contribute a lot with his arrangements.

Watch him and James writing and recording Hardwired. James listens to him intently when he offers advice.

And a thousand little things I hear he's responsible for. A pause here, a repeated riff there etc...

Can imagine him seething further at that

It was such a mess, Hetfield screamed to a bunch a people after they fucked up their instruments and Adele had a nervous collapese, such a fucking shitshow.
Hetfield is such a fanboy, he always seems so happy when he is with Lemmy, halford and Bush, they need to do another garage inc, their deep purple, rainbow and dio covers were fantastic.
That was a great documentary, i still can't believe they allowed it to exist.

I liked the guest starring in season 6 of Sopranos James did as Johnny Cakes
