Dave Mustaine: "God created whammy bars for people who don't know how to solo"

[Animus]

Cliff was the pops among kids yet he was a hippy with a very obscure musical taste compared to the other guys. Lars was the metalhead, James and Kirk were more classic rock fans but if Cliff were alive I'm guessing Metallica would have eventually gone into some pretty experimental stuff. I personally would have loved it but for those who only love the classic albums and hate Load, Reload, St. Anger etc. Cliff's fantasy project would be even bigger abomination for them.

I don't know. Cliff was pretty damn metal if you ask me.

Speaking of which! It was Cliff's death anniversary this past Tuesday.

Yes, Cliff was a big loss in many ways for them. When I had heard Cliff was killed I remember almost starting to cry. I was a big Metallica fan around that time. I really don't think Cliff would have let the band go in the direction they did. He was the most hardcore of all of them it seemed.

I think Metallica started sucking without Cliff.

I agree 100%. The true soul of the band was lost when Cliff died. For me at least, he was behind everything they did that I though was cool, starting with Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) and culminating in Orion.

What's a guitar solo? :think: :dunno:

[horns666]

Megadeth smokes Metallica...period!

[TKEblue]

I wouldn't call making money selling out. In order to "sellout" you would have to do something against your morals. Unless they hate the music, they didn't sell out, they just did something so that their shows sell out. Lol and while I know ill probably get a lot of disagreement, all I hear in early megadeths earlier stuff is rejected metallic riffs with shit vocals. I honestly used to think that hammet taught mustain how to play guitar

(Im not really a metallica fan but im not a megadeth fan at all)

[SixstringKing]

Yes, have some.

Sorry, not looking for Zool or preparing for Gozar, I'm just looking for the keg.

Most guys I know include AJFA but I agree. I think Metallica started sucking without Cliff. Their arrangements were terrible. Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master of Puppets were awesome, though. Hell, Kirk's solos are even pretty damn good.

"be the ball, Danny"

I can be the ball, but on 3reach's deathbed will he gain total consciousness??

[tonemonster]

you mean he used to do guitar solos?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

imo nothing Megadeth has ever done can begin to come close to Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning. Well, in all honesty the same could be said of Metallica's later catalog as well. hehe Metallica started being "questionable" on And Justice for All... (maybe if they remixed it and actually put bass in it I would count that album) THe Black album is well produced but is indeed a "sell-out". I remember vividly Metallica saying they would never put out a music video or sell out. When I first saw the video for One on MTV and subsequently them playing the MTV Award show the same year I knew the end was nigh.
