holy shit, yes! that fucking awesome, also on a more melodic note the call of ktulu would be an awesome opener.

Ktulu on S&M is the perfect opener. It's just .. I can't even find the words to describe how good it sounds.

I'd still say Hit the Lights would be an awesome opener, maybe with the stage totally dark till the "Hit the Lights!" came in.

To Live is to Die

There are only 16 songs here, but the majority of them are very long.

if you havent looked on metontour.com yet, heres the news.
metallica played all of the call of ktulu lastnight. and during seek and destroy, kirk and rob each sang a verse. its obvious that james is having trouble singing some of these sets that lars makes up (watch the vids). they finally put an instrumental in there to give james a break. hopefully sometime soon theyll play the king of all instrumentals: ORION! How nice would that be? i wonder how kirk and rob sounded singing the verses. PEACE

I felt like starting a prediction for rare songs being played live. As you all know during this tour Metallica has whipped out Dyers Eve, Disposable Heroes, The Call of Ktulu, The God That Failed, The Unforgiven, Trapped Under Ice etc... but there are still songs left to play.

List only the rare songs they haven't played yet and you are confident they will play before the tour ends.

I think :

-My World
-The Struggle Within
-...And Justice For All

-Escape (don't think they'll play it but I wish!!)

my band set list (at the moment) is

The Call Of Ktulu
Seek and Destroy
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Peace Sells (megadeth)
(forget at the moment)
Four Horsemen
Wherever I May Roam

We play a bunch of other shit when we're just jammin but our main playlist is what I just mentioned.

I think The Call of Ktulu is better. "Ktulu" is such a weird name and i love it :D.

I'm a drummer for about 10 years now...The hardest songs for me to play are:

some songs of the st. anger album because of their freakishly sudden time-changes
The Shortest Straw, Where The Wild Things Are, The Call Of Ktulu...I think that's about it...I think

Posted by ZeroOfTheDay on 11/20/04 @ 12:22 PM Post subject: Re: Call of ktulu

Hard to tell. Both titles fit the song very well. "When Hell Freezes Over" describes the music a bit better I think, while "The Call of Ktulu" makes it a little mystical. I guess Metallica wanted to make a referrence to Lovecraft, so they named it 'Ktulu. (it's "Chthulhu" in the book...)

i suggest to download where they played those songs that wasnt played in a while. jump in the fire, the unforgiven, the god that failed, wasting my hate, metal militia, dyers eve, i would strongly suggest to download those shows where they played the call of ktulu! it's a pitty that the show where they played outlaw torn isnt available for download. ???

Posted by D-Man on 11/09/04 @ 10:33 PM Post subject: Re: RARE LIVE SONG

This just in...

It was The Call of Ktulu. FULL.

Okay, whats next... RTL. Good album, one of my favorites... enough crap, lets get to my even crappier reviews.

1. Fight Fire With Fire - a good song, when i first heard it the intro kinda caught me off guard as not being what i expect from Metallica. This one gets my Trademark grade of a B+ (T).

2. Ride the Lightning - one of my favorite songs, kind of repetetive intro but it's still a great song. who made me god to say... A- ?! well, ITS MY REVIEW, so i said it.

3. For Whom the Bell Tolls - this is a great song and one of my favorites at the moment (RTL is an all time favorite). this song has alot going for it, i especially like the intro. FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS? me, beeyotch.(T) (my crappy "jokes" that make you wanna puke are also my Trademark)

4. Fade to Black - A DEFINITE FAVORITE OF MINE. one of the best rock ballad type songs they got and alot of people would agree with me. (if u don't, ur a muthafukka) this song is getting a muthafukkin' A.

5. Trapped Under Ice - used to be one of my favorites, i "over-listened-to" this song but it still gets a B. Kinda short but we all know how long Metalica songs are so sometimes you need a break from listening to songs 7+ minutes long.

6. Escape - not the best song on the album but it is by no means a bad song. alot of people bash it and it isnt't that popular but im still gonna give it a B or B-, not sure. i'll decide later.

7. Creeping Death - one of the best songs on the album. i'll give it a B+.

8. The Call of Ktulu - another good instrumental, but i like all of Metallica's instrumentals. a bit long but most of it is good. this nice long piece of voiceless crap (crap worthy of god) gets a B.

my overall grade for Ride The Lightning is an A-, deal with it.

Posted by Metaltrooper on 11/10/04 @ 09:58 AM Post subject: Re: RARE LIVE SONG

Here's the setlist
fucking awesome!!

Battery
Fuel
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Unforgiven
Dirty Window
Wherever I May Roam
The Call Of Ktulu
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Master Of Puppets
Fight Fire with fire
- - - -
Sad But True
Nothing Else Matters
One
Enter Sandman
- - - -
Last Caress
Seek And Destroy

You'd be surprised, there's more than a handful of songs WITHOUT wah solos.
Here is some stuff...this 'wah guide' is STRICTLY for solos on the STUDIO albums (not their live renditions), some songs you may think that have wah effects actually have other effects such as delay, flanger, etc. I've only done their first 5 albums (I didn't include Load and Reload because I'm not too familiar with a lot of those songs aside from the obvious like Fuel, Outlaw, Memory, etc). This may not be 100% correct but it's pretty close.

Songs with a wah solo:
Hit the Lights
Motorbreath
Anesthesia - pulling teeth (for bass, the whole song is practically a solo)
Phantom Lord
No Remorse
Fight Fire with fire
Trapped Under Ice
Battery
The Thing that should not be
Damage Inc.
...And Justice for All
Eye of the Beholder
Dyers Eve
Enter Sandman
Holier than Thou
Wherever I may Roam
Don't Tread on Me
My Friend of Misery
The Struggle Within

Songs WITHOUT a wah solo:
The Four Horsemen
Jump in the Fire
Whiplash
Seek and Destroy
Metal Militia
Ride the Lightning
Fade to Black
Escape (has delay in some parts, but no wah)
Creeping Death
The Call of Ktulu (has delay in some parts, but no wah)
Master of Puppets
Welcome Home - Sanitarium
Disposable Heroes (has wah in other parts of the song but not in the solo)
Leper Messiah
Orion
Blackened
One
The Shortest Straw
Harvester of Sorrow
The Frayed Ends of Sanity
To Live is to Die
Sad but True
The Unforgiven
Through the Never
Nothing Else Matters
Of Wolf and Man
The God that failed

IF you count the improv. at the end of "For Whom the Bell tolls" then yes, it has wah in it.

REMEMBER, the non-wah solos probably have a different effect to them...so if you think there's wah in it, there actually isn't.

I agree with this list except I am pretty sure that there is a wah used in Leper Messiah after the sweeping. I dont listen to load/reload enough to tell you exact songs, but Kirk did go a little wah crazy in the 90's. But live, you can expect him to touch the wah at least once a song.

where is four horsemen and harvester of sorrow? they need to be there!

How do i tune my guitar so i can play The Call Of Ktulu, it needs to be in Eb Tuning ::)

Im a tuning n00b so help :)

Fight Fire With Fire - 9.5
(thrash at its finest, one of my favorite riffs ever)

Ride The Lightning - 9
(love it but at some times vocals get annoying)

For Whom The Bell Tolls - 9.5
(one of my favs, i love lars drumming actually and bass is killer!)

Fade To Black - 10
(no explanation needed, just fucking incredible everything)

Trapped Under Ice - 9
(great opening solo, no complaints really)

Escape - 8.5
(underrated as hell, love the sirens, love the chorus)

Creeping Death - 9
(kick ass solo, DIE DIE DIE DIE.. classic)

The Call of Ktulu - 9.5
(amazing instrumental, S&M is even better)

RTL is a top top metal album and I'd give it around a 9.5 for its overall effect.

Alright, here's an update on the Encycmet bootlegs...

What I have done here is just a test run to see how much of a response we would get for providing bootlegs. The response has been huge, thanks to you guys.

For now, the boots are going to go on hiatus for a bit. But, with that said, when they return, I'm gonna have a bunch of different ones for you guys to download, so don't lose hope.

As well, the traffic for the bootleg downloads has been huge. Because of this, I'm thinking about making some new requirements to be able to get the bootlegs. Nothing major though, probably just a "you should have this many posts" thing. If that is done, they can't be spam posts either.

But, I won't get ahead of myself here. As of now, the bootlegs are going to go on hold for now.

But, that doesn't mean you can't get them. Many members here are more than willing to share the bootlegs, not to mention there's the regular bootleg forum for everyone to use.

So, just a heads up.

HAHA.. I think "The Call of Ktulu" sounds breathtaking with the orchestra- it brings that instrumental to its fullest potential.

I'de choose the call of ktulu, 'cuz it is a song the hardly play live and it was completly different from studio version. Sounded GREAT!
One of my favorites ever...

the call of ktulu, master of puppets, no leaf clover, nothing else matters, until it sleeps, for whom the bell tolls, one and battery are the best. especially mop and one.

wrong!!!! the call of ktulu is based on a book by H.P. Lovecraft Called the shadow over insummouth. and the end was just a jam.

Please note that my list is not so much based on how good the original song was, but on how much better the symphony version was than the original. Thus, masterpieces like "One" have been left off, because frankly, there wasn't much room for improvement. Really, I think almost every song on S&M sounds better than the original. The only one that kinda disappointed me was "Sad But True," and I can't really explain why. Maybe someone else can shed more light on that. So here's my list.

5. "Hero of the Day" James' vocals are much better on the S&M. This is a very emotional song lyrically and that comes across more here than on Load.
4. "The Call of Ktulu" Michael Kamen's symphony arrangement takes Ktulu to another level. It's incredible either way, but this song is just so natural with a symphony.
3. "Nothing Else Matters" Again, just meant to have a symphony. Also, James' solo is way better here than the original.
2. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" They sped it up on S&M and it makes it soooo much better. Also, the pause on the second verse where they shut the lights out - just electrifies the song.
1. "The Outlaw Torn" For a long time I wondered - What was it that made the S&M version of this song SO much better than the Load version? I think I've figured it out now. James' vocals on the original are just kinda so-so (I mean, by his standards.) But on the symphony version, he really poured his heart into singing the song. He really proved on this song that he is an excellent vocalist, even though he may not have been in the Kill/Ride days. In any event, this song went from album filler on Load to masterpiece on S&M. Just my opinion.

Give him a break. At least he is willing to ask what Call of Ktulu means. So many "fans" wouldn't even care to ask.
