I learned rhythm guitar from him but Metallica should have bowed out gracefully years ago.

UG people just voted him the GOAT

Of course it's UG and a poll, but just thought I'd mention it since the results came out today

I can see not liking their new stuff as much - but they should have just quit a multimillion dollar a year business? It's not like they're touring the casino circuit...

Disagree. James's hick OOOH YEAAAH! vocal style and Kirk's sloppiness do not a good live experience make.

James' OOOH YEAAH has replaced 30 years of unmistakable good years of effort. You think you can sing the same 30 years from now? Doubt it and I don't know any other that can either. Everybody on this site has a hard on for Kirk. He does for the band what he needs to do. I just saw them a couple months and he was spot on, except for the fuck up on the intro to Nothing Else Matters. May have had something to do with it being 95 degrees in Abu Dhabi, but the band laughed it off as did the audience. Didn't make it any less of an awesome live performance.
Which one band or artist makes an awesome live experience for you?

I went to high school from 85' to 88' and was a huge Metallica fan even back then (still am). In those days, listening to "Kill em' All" was like listening to Norwegian Black Metal. Really only the diehard metal fans would listen to them. We could get the girls to listen to Ratt, Cinderella, etc. but as soon as we put on Anthrax, Metallica, Yngwie, or anything more "metal", then would turn seasick green and leave. 
With that said, I started playing guitar in 85', so obviously I wanted to learn the galloping riffs, downpicking, etc. of Hetfield. My guitar playing today is based on those Hetfield riffs. Guys like him are the "Jimmy Page" of my generation.

When I saw them last Gogira opened. Probably 5-10% of the crowd knew who they were really. They had super fast kick drums and screamer vocals. Aside of a very small part of the crowd, like a hundred, it was not really getting the arena rocking. I know there is lots of enthusiasm for newer bands by a select few. But it is Metallica helping them get exposed to 25000 people per show. They are helping new bands. That is quite cool.
But Metallica owned it. Creeping Death....

Well shit! You'd better hurry and tell all of those people at every sold out show they perform at that.spirit7":2jno3icw said:
I'd really like for you to let us know when and where your next sold out show is so we can see how a REAL musician does it.
