Evidently Kirk got up and played with Elton John in Vegas over the weekend. I'd like to see that for the

1. The Four Horsemen
2. The rest
10. (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth

In all seriousness, I don't know what my ranking is for this album and probably won't know until I do a relisten for the ~~roulette~~ survivor. I know that The Four Horsemen is definitely my favorite, and that I like Jump in the Fire and Phantom Lord a fair bit, so those would probably be the next couple. I don't know though. I don't really love this one.

Edit: I'm always confusing roulette with survivor. And I'm especially out of it tonight so it's no surprise that I did it.

I'd pretty much go with your ranking. Jump in the Fire and Seek and Destroy would probably be my 2/3, no idea on the rest, besides last place.

Seek and Destroy would probably be my #4.

Haven't listened to Kill Em All enough to rank the tracks but The Four Horsemen is my favourite from it. Just minus the Sweet Home Alabama section

dparrott · « **Reply #1974 on:** May 03, 2016, 08:44:58 AM »

I think JITF is one of the best on that album.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #1975 on:** May 03, 2016, 08:53:49 AM »

I've always been partial to Hit the Lights as far as KEA songs outside the big 2 from that album (Four Horsemen and Seek and Destroy).

These three are far away from the rest of the album for me.

I really wish they'd put that section back into the song live.

Same with Battery and the section they removed from that. In fact, Metallica should just stop taking sections out of songs live.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #1978 on:** May 03, 2016, 09:46:16 AM »

Yup. It sure as hell can't be for time constraints either cuz whatever time is gained from those cuts is more than lost on Kirk jerkin off into a wah pedal at the end of a few songs throughout the set.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1979 on:** May 03, 2016, 09:51:35 AM »

They probably cut sections because Kirk/Lars can't play them.

This being a prog forum, it's very common for the slowest least-thrashy songs to be the most popular. In particular I find S&D very overrated, I like the nice heavy ending but the verses and choruses are boring and drag.

I was referring to them as the big 2 more in terms of them being played live more often than other KEA songs, and I think those being the two songs from their debut that are most well known across Metallica fans as a whole. I'd definitely have Four Horsemen up there in my personal rankings, but S&D would probably be a little bit lower (though I do still like it).

I think Lars could currently play any section - maybe not exactly as it was on the album but he could simplify it . He's not *that* bad.

Kirk can barely play *any* solo.

You know, I was walking their live in......Vegas? I dunno, some show in America from 2015 on youtube and it got to the point where Kirk did his "solo". He did some riffage which was.....sure, then he did some AWFUL shredding before doing that high like 19th fret bend and holding the note while the audience goes ABSOLUTELY INSANE cheering him on. So I started asking myself, how bad does he have to get before the live crowd turns on him? As of now, I'm pretty sure he can piss on the fret board while wiping his butt with the fan's money and they'd still applaud immensely.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1984 on:** May 03, 2016, 03:10:06 PM »

I keep saying it but Lars now is better at his instrument than Kirk.

Listen to the entire Record Store day from Rasputin. Lars is SOLID bar Hit The Lights.

Kirk is all over the place.

Dyers Eve. I'm not sure Lars can play Dyers Eve.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1986 on:** May 03, 2016, 03:22:42 PM »

He has played it recently. He doesn't do the 16th note double bass in the verse but he can play it.

425 · « **Reply #1987 on:** May 03, 2016, 03:26:31 PM »

Oh, really? Great for him! I guess he probably can play all the catalog, then.

Lars can BS his way through the songs. But he simplifies most of them to an insane amount. It's like saying JP can play the glass prison when he skips the arps and solos.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1989 on:** May 03, 2016, 03:34:07 PM »

Simplifying them but staying in tempo is better than being all over the fucking shop like Kirk is.

pogoowner · « **Reply #1990 on:** May 03, 2016, 04:07:50 PM »

Kirk can't play ANYTHING cleanly anymore. At all.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1991 on:** May 03, 2016, 04:30:03 PM »

Such a shame.

They would never replace him live. But he can't solo anymore.

Better? No doubt. But he can't play the songs anywhere near how they were written. It's fine, even preferable to him trying and failing, just clarifying.

I find it more likely that he just hasn't seriously practiced in possibly decades.
