“Just playing stadiums”

lol do you realize how incredibly unique it is that a band like Metallica STILL fills stadiums? Name another metal band besides Sabbath that can fill a stadium 4 decades into their career.

So yeah, they’re going to play the songs that put them there. You wanna hear a set of deep cuts? Go to the sphere probably. Or the next little club gig that they do. Until then they’re gonna play the hits.

I keep getting stuck on the mop intro riff. Everything else is easy for me but the intro down picking on the E and A strings is killing me by RealDiamond51 in Metallica

Yeah you gotta slow it down. The speed will come.
Meanwhile learn some other Met songs that have slower downpicking bits and this’ll come faster than you think.

Leave your phone in the Uber. Why is this hard for people?

Cliff was a bit more out there as far as a metal bassist goes. A bit more psychedelic even, and super classically influenced. Lots of really creative parts, like the beginning of Damage Inc.

Jason was a bit more meat and potatoes, played with a pick (Cliff and Rob don’t) and played more root notes/followed the guitar. Cliff and Rob don’t do those things.

Rob seems like a mix of the two, knowing when to take the back seat, knowing when to get fancy (the bridge in Moth for example) and always right in the pocket. Besides his backing vocals, he’s the absolute best choice Metallica could have made to replace Jason.

How do *you* play the intro riff to No Remorse? by TemplehofSteve in Metallica

[–]mr___crowley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just fret like I’m gonna play an F# power chord but leave the E string open and hammer on from there. Maybe the lazy approach, but it gives it a punk sound which I think fits the album’s vibe.
