Ah, I think it's a shame that people think music can't be technical and punk. Check out Rufio and Slick Shoes... or closer to home, Crashdown and Sick Trick (they've all got myspaces somewhere). They're all most definately un-dimebag, but still mind blowing.

Still, it's just personal preference. I prefer bands who sing about being 15 at least not playing like they're 15.

And as a music lover, I don't think it's really relevant how good my own stuff is. Feel free to check it out the myspace link in the bottom left corner if you insist though.

Nah lets cut to the chase. Strung Out. That's the band you have to hear.

You can still hate a band but respect the fact that they're good at what they do and maybe you just don't like their music. Saying a band that has toured the world over and sold millions of records are 'rubbish', when your band has sold the arse end of 1000 records and done a club tour of the UK (i'm not saying that's shite btw before you take it the wrong way), is a bit off wouldn't you say.

Oh and just to clarify, we have done quite a bit more than what you have stated there but hey...call me picky.

rubbishhhh, literally rubbish.

there's another thread going well into this, but why bring up what his band has done? that's got nothing to do with his opinion.

also, if i hated a band, i seriously wouldn't think they're any good despite anything they had done.

I have to say that...this is a great post.

Again, I'll said what's been said in another thread on these boards recently: So, because I'm in a band that automatically means I can't have an opinion. So I suppose because fucking Avenged Sevenfold are A million times more successful than my band I can't say I think they're god-awful? Enough people on here are saying that Metallica ARE shit and not that they think they're shit...so...are you jumping on them? I think my point is cast-iron here compadre. Various members of my own band LOVE mastodon and tool, I just dont like them at all. I think that tol is self indulgent, weirdo stoner music and Mastodon is tuneless, lumbering dirge. Big deal. You like Sigur Ros...I'd rather have iron filings put down my urethra than listen to that arty drivel that sounds like it should be on the boring hippie section of a crap surfing DVD.

What if I wasn't in a band? Would my opinion be automatically void. Come on Phil. If you're chasing an argument there is plenty more idiots on this site that can easily be picked on because they cant back up their statements.

Woah woah woah!!!! o_O

Both Tool and Mastodon are amazing bands, please tell me that you of all people can see that.

Calm down!!

I hate them both.

Or Danny Carey and Brann Dailor.

At least he is in a good band...or at least a band that was good. More than those can claim

Well, this is pretty embarrassingly poor in my opinion...

YouTube - Lars Ulrich Drum Solo

To be fair there are many great drummers who aren't that good at solos if at all. He has never been wicked at solos. That wasn't what we were talking about.

Lars is a twat.

You LOSE.

What an awesome case you present.

They're all in the USA National Rock Stars Ten-Pin Bowling Championships - Lars is due to meet Frank Black in the semi's next week and we'll really find who'll LOSE.

Incidently, the winner plays either DJ Shadow or Mariah Carey, who play in the other semi.

Wow...that was WELL funny. You go to the same comedy writer as Jan Deal there do ya?

Anyway, that's pretty much a myth about Lars Ulrich being unable to keep time. Always has been. Find me some live footage where he doesnt play solid if not awesomely well. ANyway, it's pretty easy to keep in time when playing the Pixies and Breeders drum parts. I also feel that Metallica never suffered without Cliff. I mean he was a legend and taught the band so much espedcially James (by his own admission) regarding the use of melodies etc BUT Jason was a huge part of Metallica in a different way. He was very much the spirit of the band for me in alot of ways and one of the more down to earth in the heady Black album era! Not to mention a fantastic bass player.

I prefer Cowboys From Hell to that.

And i prefer Gold Against The Soul to that.

As for my favourite album of all time, hmmmm...... I'm not sure at all. I'll have another think about it.

Haha...I agree and disagree.

I think that Vulgar is far far far superior to Cowboys!!

I agree that Gold Against the Soul is better. I'm one of these people that really doesnt get why people worship the Holy Bible record. I think you just have to be someone that was/is REALLY into the manics to understand what they were doing on that record. It's lost on me to be fair.

Load is an awesome record and Re-Load has some awesome and not so awesome songs on it.

I loved that...they were growing older gracefully. Those albums were classy sounding and kinda hard rocky/metal way that only Metallica could do. St ANger was trying to prove they were vital when just being Metallica was vital enough. They went wrong because they stopped doing what came naturally.

I was 13 when Ride the Lightning came out asshole. They became my favorite band until they relaesed the black album witch was utter shite, but sounds better then their recent stuff. I still have not found a debut album from anyone as powerful and bad ass as Kill'em All. I think you need to check yourself. Have you ever met them? I have on 3 ocasions.

I'm Out!

Ok, perhaps I should've been clearer. I didn't actually mean you. Im usually pretty direct and would've actually said if i meant you. I just meant that you get people who say similar things to you and you find they are kids ok? I apologise for the misunderstandinmg and I can see why you would've picked it up the way you did.

My favourite record by them is the Black album but I got into them in '88 with AJFA.

To be fair, I'm not sure what relevance the fact that you have met them has on your statement BUT thats amazing that you have. You should tell me more.

I think you'll find that they are indeed, as Thurisaz pointed out, shit.

Riiiiighhht and the Breeders and the Pixies are soooo much better?? HAHAHAHA! Whatever!

YOU LOSE!

Threads like this make me chuckle. It's when people say stuff like "Metallica is only good upto Justice!" and you find the person is too young to have been into them around that time or anywhere near that time and got into them through the black album or "Load."

unfortunately...your an idiot.

Oooohhh. Look at Jayne getting into the spirit of Aberdeen-music.com! unprovoked insults struck from no yards.

F**k all that genre pish!

The Stone Roses debut every time!

Not "Going Blank Again??"

I'd be hard pushed to narrow it down to ten.

Me too actually.

Wouldn't that be just the people who grew up listening to Metallica, or has Kirk's guitar soloing had such an effect on popular culture that damn near every guitarist from bluegrass to jazz have taken a leaf out of his moustachiod book?

You know what i meant wise guy

You know whats REALLY fucking gay. (this will stir up a hornets nest.)

The fact that five years ago EVERY OTHER POST would include Kirk Hammet. Dont ask me why and you know im right BUT he seems to be a really unfashionable name to list now. I bet more of you are influenced by him than you think (especially the guys who have grown up listening to Metallica.)

He is probably my favorite guitarist. Think of some the riffs he has written for Metallica. Think about his solo's. They are amazing. Granted he seems incapable of laying down solos live now and cops out heaps which seems to just be lack or practice.

Think about it though...some of the most memorable solos are his. Such a tasteful player with exactly the right mix of tech and taste whilst creating solos that you look forward to in a song.

The "The Unforgiven" solo.

The "Blackened" solo.

All the solos in "Fade To Black"

The "Creeping Death" solo

The "Bleeding Me" solo

The "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" solo

The "Struggle within" Solo

The "Dyers Eve" Solo

The "The Memory Remains" solo.

There is HEAPS more that are truly great and memorable solos. Much more than any other metal bands leads!

Have a think...I think you'll agree!

*cough LAMBGOAT cough*

Dont post on it...only read it

ESP guitars

The ESP one is the only one I use more than Aberdeen-Music.

Probably best not to be so forthcoming with info like that.

Oh and regards to this thread: Like i'd offer up that kind of information to people on this forum...EL OH EL!

Christ on a bike, can't you take your head out of your arse for 5 minutes and not complain about something on this forum?

I will as soon as a)You make ANYONE laugh with your CRAP humour b)You say something not INSANELY boring.

Deal?

Haha, brilliant! Where's the fucking structure guys?!

It's like you're all just chatting about albums you like without laying down a proper set of rules and guidelines. It's not the 1960's...let's cut this wild hippy free thought and get some proper regulations on this thread.

Ok, witty sarcasm aside...

It's true though. Most people like every album they buy. Generally you buy an album because you a)like the artist anyway b)have heard it/some of it to know you like therefore buy it. Remember, I said GENERALLY! You have people who are basically listing every fucking record they bought...whats the point in that?

If we stuck to one it makes people think. It creates further discussion rather than listening to someone witter on about ten albums they bought this year. Challenge yourself and what opthers may think of you by NAMING ONE! And dont even have "honourable mentions." That's Gay. This year has been an awesome year for me album wise and it would be hard to do, which is what makes going through all the albums you loved this year more of a challenge to bring it down to one.

And all Reality TV goes wthout saying:swearing:

Amen to that sentiment.

This thread is crap unless it has strict rules. I.e. ONE album.

oh dudes,who cares about any of this crap,cant we all just get along

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

oh oh...i think Ousy forgot to take his meds again
