More Metallica News!

I don't know if you guys ever noticed, but Kirk has never been a very good player. He has always reused licks, played sloppy, abused double stops etc. I don't know if it's the classic "it is new, so it must be worse than the old" syndrome or what. But that solo was just as good most things on Kill, AJFA etc

I don't care though, as long as it sounds decent. And I'm psyched about the new album!
Not to mention WORST vibrato ever...

No, I'd say that dubious distinction goes to Alex Lifeson :Smug: Uggghhh, he's got what I call the "angry bee" vibrato (really rapid and spastic, with no control - Steve Wilson is also guilty of this, as evidenced in the studio footage on Opeth's "Lamentations" DVD)
 


:erk:

More fuel for the 'kirk-doesn't-like-playing-guitar anymore' fire.

When I started playing guitar 10 years ago I used to listen this solo on repeat on my walkman.

that shit sounds like a fucking spoof.

sidenote: Didnt Mustaine write that solo to begin with?
 
It's not that bad if you don't consider the fact that it's completely out of synch from the drum beat.

The explanation: they play songs they have played hundreds of times by memory, not really listening to each other while playing them live.
