Metallica solos

Kirk is capable of playing amazing solos. His only problem is that he EXTREMELY overuses his wah pedal.. sometimes.

Great Kirk solos: Disposable Heroes, One, Creeping Death (he did play that one.. right?)

But I like Mustaine better. If he would've stayed with the band longer I'm sure he would've come up with solos just as great as Hammet's. :( I love his solo on Ride the Lightning.

Mustaine didnt play the Ride the Lightning solo.. he is just credited with songwriting which usually means the main riffs and/or lyrics... im sure Kirk did his own solo on that one.. anyways i like Kirk's solos up to MOP album after that i could care less about his lead work except for the song Unforgiven... but his best work is on Ride the Lightning album i would say and on Orion off of MOP...

Also, is that lyrics to a Megadeth song? "To band your head 'til you bleed"? WTF does that mean?
oh no, i made an error, your gonna attempt to diss me for that? Get a real insult, and get back to me

and no, its a hammerfall song, but it just says Thrashing to megadeth......you dumbass :lol:

I like that one Metallica solo that Hammett has been slightly reworking for twenty years til he ran out of ways to play it and gave up soloing altogether...

Yeah, about half the songs from the Kill 'Em All-Master Of Puppets era are pretty much just based on pentatonic scales...

When you say you can't stand the solos, do you mean you don't like solos or are you too elitist to like them?

He didn't do Ride the Lightning.

How many times is someone going to tell you Dave was fired before Kill 'Em All and replaced by Kirk Hammet. Why would he have recorded on a cd when he was kicked out of the band 2,3 years before. He did not record on the first album either so why the second. He probably was not living in the same state as the rest of the band at the time. They said fuck you sending him home on a greyhound bus.

He was let go in 81,82. Jesus christ,commen sense. 'Metallica' has not given a shit about Davey since the demo days. I highly doubt they would contact him. They probably had no idea where he was... well dave we have a new second guitarist. We want to fly you down here to record a guitar solo on Ride The Lightning!

hence the word WROTE, obviously Marty played his share of them, but wrote NONE.....jackass


Listen, Jackass - have you ever played a guitar? How could Dave possibly write a solo that he didn't have the technical skill to play himself? The guys that write the solos are never credited in the songwriting stakes - when have you seen Dave Murray credited on a Maiden song but he plays a solo on practically all of them. Don't you think it's more feasible that Dave wrote the songs, perhaps recorded all the rythm parts and his leads, then asked Marty to come up with some solos of his own to fit the music? Therefore, Marty WROTE his own solos.
And I wasn't insulting you asking about the lyrics, I just wasn't sure what the fuck they meant.

BTW Did you change the original post of yours? I'm SURE you originally said ALL of RIP was recorded before Marty was in the band..... :Smug: Apologies if I'm wrong.
 
are you saying that dave cant write an "exotic" solo? i already told you, MOST of RIP was recorded before Dave and Marty even met, sure Marty played that little acoustic bit in the video for Holy Wars....it sure as hell doesnt mean he wrote it.

but yeah, i take back my insults, im not trying to stir shit up, i just get really arguementative... but im out, gotta get back to class, keep rockin :headbang:

If that's a question for me, I love solos, I just like good ones. Kirk's abuse of the wah pedal and pentatonic scale got really old, really fast.
 
Droogie, no, I'm not saying Dave can't write an "exotic" solo (whatever that is). Look at it this way - Angus Young is my favourite guitar player, but he simply couldn't write a Joe Satriani style solo, he doesn't have the technical skills. Dave Mustaine is in the same boat - he doesn't have the technical skill to write the solos Friedman/Pitrelli/Poland etc did, that's why Dave needed other guitarists in the band - they brought a more skillful method of soloing to his rawer style. I'm not saying he's a shit guitarist cos I like his solos, but his chops aren't at the level of Friedman and Dave has said so himself on numerous occasions.

Dave wrote all the raw stuff and Marty "wrote" the exotic soloing in the album.. Yes Dave had most of it recorded but he wanted exotic stuff on there and thats why he brought in Marty and Marty wrote his own solos and lead on the album... Dave cannot write the exotic solo's because Dave does not have the knowledge of Modes, Middle Eastern scales etc.. Dave is a raw pentatonic player and always will be ... that doesn't mean he sucks because on that album he obviously doesn't but give credit where credit is due.. Marty did the exotic stuff.. if you don't believe it then listen to Marty's playing in Cacophony or whatever the spelling is.. Marty's previous project that was on Shrapnel Records at the time.. you haven't offered one bit of proof that Dave wrote the exotic stuff on the album.. you weren't even a sperm cell when this album came out lol .. if you worship Dave and want him to bang you and thats why you are saying he wrote and played the solo's then say that.. but the truth is he didnt.. he hired Marty for a reason and it wasn't to be a studio musician ... :wave:

Exactly... :Smug:
