i love metallica.
metallica is my favourite band.
unlike most pop bands nowadays, they have more than 1 subject on which to write about.
the lyrics aren't fantastic, but they're not bad actually.
they're often about lyrically dark subjects.
but honestly?
thats how i like my metal.
i dont wanna hear a metal band singing stayin' alive.
(ozzy osbourne actually covered that. i heard it. it was horrible.)
and most importantly.
they play quite well.
kirk's no yngwie, but he's quite good as well.
lars is quite a good drummer.
i like the intro on enter sandman a lot.
the bassist?
currently is trujillo.
he's decent, but after cliff,
metallica never had bass as an important part, just as a supporting part.
when cliff was alive he used to play the parts now played by james on rhythm guitar.
yep. rhythm guitar.
its a concept not sound in pop.
we have SOLOS.
we have COMPLEX guitar portions requiring rhythm guitar.
and honestly?
i like james's singing style.
he doesnt sing.
he fuckin' growls.
and i like that.
and on some songs he just sounds he's drunk and having fun.
most songs he's dark and brooding.
but on some songs he just kicks back.
like whisky in the jar.
i love that song.
its a traditional irish song, actually.
listen to metallica.
they're the best band ever.

One-Metallica

I cant remember anything
Cant tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
Im waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

(this be the first 2 verses. there isnt much lyrically to this song. but the guitars on this are sick. esp. the intro.)
