Band Photo: Metallica (?)

As most METALLICA fans have heard by now, the group's lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett, was asked by legendary guitarist Carlos Santana to contribute to the multi-Grammy-winning artist's upcoming release, "All That I Am". The CD, which features Kirk on the track the instrumental track "Trinity", will be in stores on November 1. In the meantime, you can listen to the full song "Trinity" — which also boasts harmonized guitars from Carlos Santana and pedal-steel virtuoso Robert Randolph — at this location.

Kirk has previously worked with Carlos in 2001 at a live show benefit in San Francisco. Carlos was also invited into METALLICA's studio in 2002 while the band were recording "St. Anger".

Metallica are has beens now they started going downhill after the Justice album. That was there last good album. Then you get all the yuppie pukes that start listening to the when Sandman comes on the radio. And all of a sudden there cool. Well those people suck ass. Metallica used to be one of the best. Now they are just about a memory. Thats to bad. Oh well on with MuDvAyNe and Slipknot. They will kick Tallica's ASS!!!

umm....are you ok? Mudvayne and Slipknot are not THAT great....in my opinion anyway...I love Metallica and I always will....even if they aren't as good as they use to be...and to me their latest songs (which aren't that great) are better than any slipknot or mudvayne song....

i like slipknot mudvayne and metallica, why cant you guys just stop giving people a hard time after you write that many songs its harder to create something origional...thats why metallica changed their tuning and left out solos it will happen to any band including korn..who is another one of my favorites..sure their songs are not as meaningful as they used to be but they are still well written they are still the same people so why act like they lost all their talent...they obviousley still know how to play those songs..just leav people alone they just have fun making music ...DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY CARE WHAT YOU THINK

Sorry MuDvAyNe f***in rocks. I am a long time metal fan iand i have listened to everything from thrash to speed to death and even glam. I am a true rocker i have been into the heavy sh** for over 30 years now. Most of the so called new type heavy sh** is o.k. But Metallica will always be #1 for the old 80's heavy. And Slipknot and Mudvayne rock as well does Pantera and Ill Nino'.....Keep Rockin...

Travlow1, Slipknot and Mudvayne will NEVER be like Metallica. NEVER! They won't have the impact Metallica had because they are in such an open society.

I think it's cool that Kirk is going to be on a Santana album.

I have add...

The opening guitar to "Black Magic Woman" is the BEST.

TwistedFairie, there are a few sites that I recommend where you can post your works instead of on the threads. www.zenhex.com(I'm on there under the same screenname) they have a poetry section, and www.darkpoetry.com, which you have to become approved to be a member, but it's really easy. I tried to do it, but I found myself having not alot of time to post works and stuff.

oh come on,"latin metal",thats a serious stretch there,"christians amazing voice",metal is not about vocals,if you want that unskilled vocal sh** you should be listenin to pop or r+b or somethin awefull like that,just because they are a "latin metal" doesnt make them good,do you understand what nu metal is,it is the inferior version of metal,its just like hard rock, its vocally dominant,has simple as sh** riffs,no solos,basic song structure,and an overall lack of musicianship,if you analyze what you listen to you would understand this but you are clearly another mainstreamer who goes by what they like and dont bother to recognize true talent
