Posted by STATLER on 12/25/04 @ 02:32 PM Post subject: Re: The Black Album

I really like almost every song from the black album. I'd rate this album a 9.6 out of 10. You got the Unforgiven, NEM, Sandman, Wherever i may roam, Of wolf & man, and more great songs (which I really like) such as My friend of misery or Through the never. Some of the heavy songs like Dont tread on me, Holier than thou or The struggle within, i think, are really amazing; i just don't understand why some people don't like these songs.

Oh ya, great review master of orion

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!!)

Posted by typhoonwarrior on 11/17/04 @ 07:20 AM Post subject: Re: Favourite song

for whom the bell tolls,master of puppets,battery,sanitarium,bleeding me,fixxer,shoot me again,wherever i may roam,unforgiven,the struggle within and my friend of misery to name a few.

We all know that Kirk Hammett is an amazing guitarist and creates awesome guitar solos more notably in the first 4 studio albums.

In your opinion, what are some solos that deserve more recognition then they get. Don't say One or Fade To Black because everyone knows those are amazing.

I think : 1. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
2. The Struggle Within
3. Helpless

are the most underrated. Realize how awesome these solos are! Rock on Mr.Hammett!

One of Metallica's most famous albums, although not my favorite, this is still a great album. Lets begin.

1. Enter Sandman - an exremely well known Metallica song, whoever has heard of Metallica has probably heard this song at least once. this is a great song and like the rest of the album, is recorded in the highest quality possible. i happen to be sick of the song from listening to it so much but that doesn't mean i don't appreciate it. this great track gets an A.

2. Sad But True - arguably the heaviest song on the album and one of the best. good drums and well good everything, not much to say about this song besides that its GREAT. can't give it any lower than a B+.

3. Holier Than Thou - another great song, i like it just about as much as Sad But True so i guess ill give it a B+.

4. The Unforgiven - a decent song, i happen to like The Unforgiven II on Reload a little better than this one, but it is still a great song. it's probably the second least heavy song on the album besides NEM, another great song, but we will get to that track a little later. This "slightly less better than The Unforgiven II" track gets a B-.

5. Wherever I May Roam - another great addition to the album, slow start but it gets pretty heavy at times and is quite worthy of it's Metallica-ness. I happen to like this song alot, but i'll say that about nearly every song. i think i heard somewhere like on some show on MTV or VHI about The Black Album that this song has alot of meaning to Metallica (being on tour all the time.) This Metallica song gets a B+.

6. Don't Tread On Me - "TO PREPARE FOR WAR!" another heavy song, like most of the album and just as good as any track on the CD. i kinda think its kinda repetitive for a song thats four minutes long but that doesn't make it bad. This rare "short" song gets a B.

7. Through the Never - "TWISTING,TURNING THROUGH THE NEVA!" about the same length as Tread and just as good. good vocals, overall a very good song, not much else to say about it. another... RARE ...Metallica song that isn't 6+ minutes long.
This one gets a B like pretty much everything else.

8. Nothing Else Matters - definitely the most well known Metallica ballads out there. this song created alot of controversy with the hardcore Metallica fans of the 80's because it wasn't heavy enough. Good vocals, good song, nothing else matters. i'll give this lil ballad a B+ for surviving the angry and rabid hardcore Metallica fans.

9. Of Wolf and Man - although not my favorite song on the album, it's not a bad song. i can't think of much to say about it so im just gonna slap a B- on this track and call it a day.

10. The God That Failed - i feel pretty much the same way about this song as i do about Wolfman. it's a decent song with good vocals so i'm just gonna slap the same grade of a B- on it and go on to...

11. My Friend of Misery - another decent song, tho not my favorite. not as heavy as most of the songs on the album and i dont like the vocals as much. it's a good song and im still going to give it a B-.

12. The Struggle Within - a good finisher for the album. nice marching drum intro and decent vocals. not much wrong with this song, worth a listen while you struggle inside your head. BIG FAT F- B-

now for the final grade. this is an overall good album and deserves an overall good grade for it. i perfer the first four albums, but this is a good addition to my collection. it's definitely worth buying it.

F- ... B

Posted by TheCreepingDeath on 11/09/04 @ 10:08 PM Post subject: RARE LIVE SONG

The latest post on MetOnTour basically says that a really rare song is being played tonight on 11/9/04. Anyone have predictions?

I'm hoping they will play The Struggle Within.

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.

Great review man. Very nice work, it's great to see a topic devoted to reviews of the underrated and forgotten songs.

I completely agree with "Don't Tread On Me" and "My Friend Of Misery."

The only thing I think should be rated higher is "The Frayed Ends Of Sanity" and also "The Struggle Within" is a 10 in my mind.

Do another review of songs from 96-03. That'd be badass.

Britney Spears sings Stone Cold Crazy

ESCAPE (hetfield / ulrich / hammett) 1984 a:Ride The Lightning.

This is the only song of the Lightning-album that has only been played live during jams to fuck up James (he can't stand the song...). Let's have a closer look to the song,
first of all the topic of the songs lyrics iskind of something everyone can identify with; breaking away from the real world and live your own life, I think it's a cool topic. The song starts off with a nice melody followed up by a pretty bad-ass riff, mixed with nice drumwork from Lars, love the melody in the chorus. The bridge just before the guitarsolo is kinda weak, I'd say, just as Kirk's solo, it's not his best plus the ending with the totally useless siren-sound isn't all that, I think...
Overall I'll rate the song: 7,5.

ORION (hetfield / ulrich / burton) 1986 a:Master Of Puppets

Isn't it a shame that they never played this damned song live in its full version? Well, I think it is...I know everyone listens to this song, just to hear the slow part of the song with Burton's massive bass-solo. But overall I think this whole song fucking rocks!
It starts up fading in with a very cool bass-sound lifted up by Lars' drums, then the guitars come in and make the song what it is...Cool!! This song shows how mighty Burton could handle his bass...We still miss him...Also, I really dig those wheaping guitars in the slow part! Awesome!
Rate: 10

THE FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY (hetfield / ulrich / hammett) 1988 a:...And Justice For All

The intro is a good thing to keep the crowd going during their live-shows. A part of this song once was part of the so called Justice-medley on the Nowhere Else To Roam tour.
As far as I can say: this song has a cool riff, but they shouldn't had to stretch this song so long, after a while it gets kinda boring, I think. The topic of the lyrics from my own perspective, they are about addictions or something. Well, that's nice. Then Kirk's solo, maybe it's the best thing about the whole song...
Rate: 5

TO LIVE IS TO DIE (hetfield / ulrich / burton) 1988 a:...And Justice For All

An instrumental packed with riffs written by Burton, magnificent! The song starts off with a cool Spanish melody, which turns into a pumping heavy-ass riff, I heard that most of the guitars were done by James and he did a pretty good job (once again). I must say that Lars' drumworks are fucking great too, actually. I love to see this song live in its entirely, would be fun to see James struggle with all those different guitars (haha!). The best part of the song might be the slower middle-section, just gives a real strange feeling over me, I don't know what it is...It's just too good to be true
Rate: 9,5

DON'T TREAD ON ME (hetfield / ulrich) 1991 a:Metallica

This is one of the most underrated songs of the album, it starts off real heavy, and goes on for the rest of the song, I also like that "I want to be in America" melody at the start. Lyrical topic: America rules the world (from my persepective), this kinda shows how strong America is, but experiences proved otherwise (9-11). I really dig Kirk's solo in this one, for the rest it's basically based around the same riffs. Never was played live (not even a jam)...
Rate: 8,5

MY FRIEND OF MISERY (hetfield / ulrich / newsted) 1991 a:Metallica

Another kick-ass song which Metallica constantly look away from...It was only Jason who played the bass-part of the song during his solo's on live-shows...It's a shame, cuz the song fukcing rules. The riff during the verses is by far the most coolest thing I've heard. The lyrical topic is cool too, I just cannot find the words to explain (my English isn't that good), offcourse there is another slow part in the song with a pretty cool twingy guitar in it.
Then there is Kirk's chainsaw-solo, I simply love that shit he does there...Wow! This is probably the best song from the whole album.
Rate: 10

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN (hetfield / ulrich) 1991 a:Metallica

I simply like the marching drum intro, it's unlike everything they've ever done this far. The main-riff is simply fucking heavy. I read once that the lyrics were the last to be written of all songs just before recording and that James was singing about the recording process of this album, kinda cool, I think...This is one of the fastest songs of the album and also a real good one, only Kirk's solo is a bit simple, I'd say. But I think this could be a cool live-song. A worthy album-closer.
Rate: 8,5

As you might have noticed, this review is kinda about the songs that were never or hardly played live. I don't know how I got to this, but I liked doing it and maybe I'll come back for a part 2 (1996-2003) if you like that.
So, I hope you had some fun with this shit and I'll see ya!

That's hard to say. My top 4 would be:
The struggle within
Damage Inc.
Creeping Death
The intro solo in No Remorse-He explodes in that one.

1. Metal Militia
2. Fade To Black
3. Master Of Puppets
4. Blackened
5. The Struggle Within
6. The Outlaw Torn
7. Carpe Diem Baby
8. Last Caress/Green Hell
9. My World

Hell yeah for "THE STRUGGLE WITHIN!"

I love when James yells STRUGGLE and the guitar solo comes into action.

What an amazing ending song for the black album and in a live show that'd be amazing.

1.) Wasting My Hate
2.) Orion
3.) The Struggle Within

...
In that order.

Prince Charming
Better than You
Trapped Under Ice

Posted by dansj882 on 11/27/04 @ 08:23 PM Post subject: Re: Worst playlists!

lol i think i can pull something off

2. james announces that they have never played the struggle within live before and tonight wont be an exception - so they play slither

11. explosions and gunfire can be heard - but rather than the pyros for one - its an actual gun battle, as ja rule's homies backstage opened fire on the cops

15. and justice for all - with rob jumping around hoping to be noticed.

man i laughed my fucking ass off at those
