I can see your point BUT you have to gage interest first before you can talk about it if you know what I mean? I could have gone on and spouted a big list of my fav songs etc and noone may have been interested.
You like Metallica yourself? My fa album is Puppets.
I really need to get some Burton era bootlegs.
Please don't use the nuraber of sales/opinions argument - it's very weak. People are ignorant and that's a fact. How many of those people listen to a wide range of music and have heard many guitarists? How many of those people even realise that Hammett doesn't write all his solos, and certainly not many of the riRAB. So while they have opinions, which shouldn't be used in argument, they're not even informed opinions.
Just looking at their list of 100 greatest solos. The solo for One is #7 - do they even realise that Hammett didn't write that? And Smells Like Teen Spirit at #26 - that does nothing for the credit of the fans. :laughing:. It looks like none of these guys have heard any non rock/metal/blues music. The fact that I see "How to Play Punk with Simple Plan" says a lot about the magazine/readers.
You're saying Metallica is popular - I don't understand what relevance that has to Hammett's guitarplaying.
How can you say Hammett has branched out the most? Burton didn't have the chance to branch out, and judging from what he did in the space of one album, he would have branched out far more than any of them. Ulrich is too ****ty to branch out. From what I can see, Hetfield/Burton wrote the most 'unconventional'/branched out parts/songs of Metallica, the long bass solo, the acoustic parts, the instrumentals. The whole band worked on Fade to Black and Master of Puppets, so it's hard to tell what went on there - either way, Hammett at *most*, would have written his own solos but even that isn't certain.
I'm not trying to argue with you. I just want to show you (and maybe others), that Hammett is not the be all and end all of Metallica, that he really hasn't written that much material, almost certainly isn't responsible for harmony in Metallica and definitely wasn't the bringer of classical to metal. I don't have anything against Metallica - but I am simply judging impartially. Hetfield is one of my favourite rhythm guitarists, but Hammett really is nothing very special IMO.
he IS ozzys former bassist... did jason join ozzy after he left metallica? if so... they swapped bassists and metallica got ripped off, but hey who cares, its all good
Quite frankly I can live with having just these four Metallica albums in my collection:
Kill 'Em All
Ride The Lightning
Master Of Puppets
Garage, Inc.
Except for a track here and there, they really do bore me rigid.
would it be wrong of me to say all eras of metallica sucked? only songs i could ever get by listening to were a few on kill 'em all, whiplash, hit the lights, etc. but i was raised on metallica, and now i couldn't listen to them to save my life.
What does that have to do with this one?
:band:
I'm a very dedicated Metallica fan and need a question answered.I simply can't decide who is a better Musician, Lars Ulrich or James Hetfield? let me know what u think.:banghead:
pft..... woooo metallica!!!!!!
