dickenson > hetfield vocally, sure. but iron maiden songs are a little to fantasy for me. good shit though, no doubt.

I have to disagree with Dickenson being better than Hetfield vocally. If you listen to Metallica's entire catalog of songs from their first album, Kill 'Em All all the way through their newer stuff like Load, Reload, S&M, etc.... you'll notice Hetfield displays a wide range singing ability (for heavy metal music anyway).

Listen to how effectively Hetfield creates the proper mood for each of these very different songs:

Hit the Lights (Kill 'Em All)
Outlaw Torn (Load)
Master of Puppets (S&M live version)
No Leaf Clover (S&M...I think this James at his best)
Turn the Page (Garage Inc.)
Nothing Else Matters (TBA)

However I do like Dickenson. I even liked Bailey when he was with Iron Maiden. Maiden is a great band and they will go down as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. But Metallica (whether you like them or not) has had more influence on the metal genre than any other band in the past two decades. Their stuff will live forever.

Did I miss Ozzy somewhere?

I like Bon Jovi. The other night at midnight when I was doing legs..."Wanted Dead or Alive" came on the radio and I felt like I was on fire. No joke. Just listen to the words. It is a favorite song of mine anyways...but it just made me feel like squatting that night...so it served it's purpose

Yeah i train to metallica and guns n' roses!
I am new to this board, so far it all looks pretty cool.
I dont disslike slipknot but i have also read in kerrang that they were orditioned, i dont have any respect for bands like this....i dont really like nu metal much, i dont mind pappa roach and some desturbed but this gothic trend relly gets to me.


Any way, i hope you all can help me, i have loads of questions i need to ask about training....

heck if i was to say, well, 'Metallica are now a bunch fucking old men who argue like girls with eachother every second and could not produce another good album if their walking sticks and wheel chairs depended on it, get over them, they're finished, gone, done, dead', i would probably shatter their sad little fantasy world.

Wake up to whats happening around you guys, it's the future, deal with it.

wow!

Hey 6(isc)6, i am pretty sure that there are far more metallica fans around now than there are slipknot fans.
Metallica are great, some of the lads down the club take the piss because i like them, but i aint a dance music fan, well after a win and a few pints..i love it!

Welsh power house, calm down there mate!
Fair enough, slipknot are shit, auditioned and bent, but leave it go!!
Nice name by the way son, good to see some more welsh pride, power and glory on this board!!

''BREAD OF HEAVEN....!!''
Wales are gonna kill the Irish on saturday, shame gibbsy gone from the international game, that lads got some mass a?

I was born in Wales

Metallica are my second favourite band. The other day i learnt 'shortest straw' by them on my guitar, i love playing it it's great, but the thing that gets me is James Hettfield SINGS as well as plays that, man he is my god, Kirk Hammet also.


The reason i like SlipKnot so much is because they take Metallica and all their other influences and mold them all into one, into music from my generation.



Oh and theres one more thing i should add. I play guitar and the guitar players from SlipKnot are FUCKING AXED. I mean they are really REALLY big.

Mick Thomson is 6ft 3' and BUILT LIKE A VERY BIG BRICK SHITHOUSE, and James Root is 6ft 6' and built like a bull too, definately the biggest guitar players in any band around now. They both tower over James Hettfields 6ft 1', and built to go with it.

So yeah thats another reason i look up to SlipKnot, the guitar players are huge and give me some inspiration to lift.

glad to see you have one good quality sic, but does it matter that the slipknot guitarists are big?
I have seen them, they are not very big at all!
is brain may big, no, was hendrix big, no, is steve vai big, no, is santana big, no......is slash big, uhh, no....but still they are all the best and are all small dudes, size does not matter when playing a guitar.
Matter of fact are there any buff(not fat) bands around??
I think a 'massive' rock band would look stupid.
Hey kracker, sounds to me u like rugby?
I also play.
Where abouts are you from bud?
Hey sic, thats kinda funny, if i was born a few days earlier, i would have been born in Aussy land!!!
Sic, you must play rugby comming from down under...you've got the best team in the world, well beart our lions ne way!


Any way, i still think slipknot suck, and am glad some other people agree about them being auditioned.

You can see in these pics here that he is bigger than your average guitarist, he's pretty badass too:

And yeah our team isn't too bad is it

 

[Welsh power house]

Na, he aint skinny, but he is shit....yeah ur team does fucking rule...they r alot beefeir than that dude aswell!!!

 

[6(SIC)6]

He's not shit he's been playing for 17 years, in the world of Guitar Playing thats ages.

 

[Welsh power house]

I think he is shit.....slash from guns n roses has been palying ages....he is fucking awsome, no doubt 1 of the best ever, the guy from slipknot plays shit stuff!
If he is good, but being in an orditioned band over shaddowed by shit.....why dose'nt he leave and paly decent stuff?
