Sign in to disble this ad
I posted a poll on the official Metallica boards, asking what song people would most like to see me play. And Battery got the most votes, so here it is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5iet-IZRrE
Let me know what you think, and enjoy! 
Played on this bass, in case you couldn't tell

Still, I wish Metallica had bass that audible. Overall, I'll take that version over the original, because you make the bass sound ominous and powerful. |

Partly because of the video compression maybe, but I think it's more my playing style and this bass. I use really light gauge, low-tension strings and play with a light touch. Playing any harder would make the strings buzz and clack a whole lot more than they already were in parts of that vid. So playing gallops more softly like that (at that speed) makes them kinda blend together, since you don't hear the attack of each note as well.
That's how I see it anyways...
The Starfire will be in the next vid I put up. I've got a month off of school for winter break so I'll be doing a bunch of vids

It's always confused me why Cliff Burton did these sorts of things when you can barely even hear them on the album.
Nice playing :P |

If so, the lines you came up with are very good. I could pick out the galloping with my headphones. I think I heard a timing issue here and there, but great work.

Overall very good. I didn't really care for some of the fills. I feel a couple didn't fit. IMO, I didn't feel your playing.
You played it a lot better that I can. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | nice playin much better tone than cliff...

Am I the only one who'd like to get the multitrack masters for the first 3 or 4 Metallica albums and bump the bass up and check out what it would sound like?
On Topic: Nice playing... and beautiful Stammie!

Your looking at corporate owned property. Im sure not even Metallica can get you those. Usualy the masters are owned by the record label.
