Apparently the new Metallica album has leaked.

i'm fucking sick of the people who think the only good music are the ones who have uberdifficult solos at speed of the light.

as far technics goes, they are better. so fucking what? that is not what makes music. Nothing Else Matters or Fade To Black solos makes me shiver everytime, something that never happened with SymX or any other prepotent cunt guitarrist.

Fast shredding doesn't make a guitarist, I'm well aware, but neither does 15 years of shitty albums and cover songs. Jason Becker and Paul Gilbert are fucking awesome, and have remained awesome throughout their career (despite one of them being half vegetable). You can't instantly discredit a guitarist because they shred too fast, so they instantly become a novelty.

They were good for 8 years, then started sucking for a solid 15, tells me they aren't metal masters anymore.
 
i totaly agree, i was just saying that this board is all about Virtuose guitar playing, and none to other things

my point was, you don't need to be Paolo Gilberto to make good music
 
I said he's guitar playing abilities, not he's composing abilities, and his voice still sucks, it got better last year, but I'm basing this opinion in the 2004 2006 shows.
 
Mighty One?
Hes the Rhythm guitarist!!!
Rhythm Guitarist to Kirk Hammit!!!!
And I'm not going to name anyone since naming names in an argument is a massively Douche Move.

And no... Reign in Blood sounded nothing like Master of Puppets....

Please go listen to Pantera, Wintersun, Ensiferum, Cacophony, Racer X, ect, ect, and tell me James isn't the most over-rated sack of shit since...well Kirk Hammit.

I hope a rock falls out of the sky and cracks your yoke filled egghead open. You disgrace the name Cliff Burton. You are a nothing. fuck you.
 
This thread makes me lawlz.

While I like Metallica, Cliff was the only thing holding the band (and their talent) together. They had one good album after his death (Justice), but they went all to hell after that.

Fuck James, Kirk, and Lar$.
