What's up with everyone wanting to use Metallica.
You may as well use Smashing Pumpkins or something equally gay.

You can't ignore what Metallica has become. Yes, they were once good, but they took a turn for the ASS GROPING which in turn depreciates all of their past music.

Come on you guys.
The ideal music for this kind of thing is hiphop or at least something with a consitant beat that you can use to time footage to and make the 'video' part of the production flow in accordance with the music. Thus creating a single, predictable, and enjoyable entity.

Seriously though. Metal is my music of choice, but I can appreciate hip-hop too, man. By saying what I am about to say I will be repeating something I have suggested to someone else, but hear me out.

If you want a good upbeat metal song for drifting, check out Revenge of the Zombie by Six Feet Under. It's only like 2m 50s long. Or try a song called Deicide (not decide) by a band of the same name, Deicide. That one is 4:00 long.

Anything but Metallica dude. They are played out.
Try something original.

If you think so, you were never truly a fan of their music in the first place and that's fine. I happen to really like almost every song Metallica released before 'Load.' The fact that they came out with some less than awesome stuff after that doesn't mean anything. Their old stuff is still awesome.

How are they played out? I haven't seen any drifting videos with Metallica in it. I'd also much rather see somebody use Metallica than Initial D music or trance.
I don't particularly mind trance, but I don't want to hear it in every video.


Use what you like. If I don't like the music, I'll just turn the sound off and turn Winamp up. ;)

I used to be a true Metallica fan, I thought they were the best band out there, bar none. Look at how much great music they've released, no other band can do that. Then at some point, though, they sold out to the music industry. Not exactly sure when it happened but it wasn't Reload it was after that (S&M was maybe their best performance ever). Anyway, I've since encoded all my Metallica songs to MP3 and given away their CD's to people who would've otherwise spent money to buy the CD.

That's fine if you lost interest, but their image or the fact that they "sold out" doesn't have anything to do with the quality of their early work.
I do agree that they have changed and not for the better, but that happens to a lot of bands. Hell, I still enjoy listening to Limp Bizkit's first album and old Korn stuff even though I think both bands have "sold out" and their music quality has gone drastically down hill.

Yeah they sell out, did big time, but they are trying to come back... and I think they regained alot of respect that was once lost by their biggest fans... like me.
 
Ben is there for helping me so much on GTP and with the Blue Ducks...
Perg for his website...
DA for his awesome vid...
Silvia for inspiring me, and helping me alot with my drifting... and cause of his vids.
And well, I don't even have to explain Cuda's name...

I wanted to put your name up there Battle, but your editing and music sucks... sorry, but they do... I would say your skills completely overide it but... not when there is a straight away.:D Plus, you have never helped me out... except when dumbarses speak and you back me up, or just tell them to shut up... :D
 
What about my editing, i guess it sucks too, because i have Initial D music right, oh well it doesnt matter, But i like making music video, its great and fun. Plus i like to choose new camera angle of each video i have and do new things and like i dont know, whatever i can think of after watching other's video, i try to do like different ways, so my videos wont look the same as other people, thats why i take 1 week to decided and work on videos and finish it!!!

There are several videos using Metallica as the music, although I can't remember any names off the top of my head, and I agree, trance is alright. That Initial D music is just stupid though, and the only reason people use it is principle. However, I would rather hear Metallica than either of those types of music.

I actually bought the Load album tape when it came out.
When I got home and started tearing the rediculously tight celofane wrapping off, I was like 'YAY METALLICA!'

After listening to a couple of the songs, it was like, 'whoa this is nothing like their old stuff'. I was not impressed.

Then my Dad gets home the next night after his trip to Las Vegas (my birthday was 2 nights before, which he missed), and one of the presents he gave me was Load... ON A CD!

Imagine the look on my face, then my Dad's reaction.

:irked:

Yah you're right, but for me when I listen to music I don't just listen to the sound I listen to the words and the meaning behind it. So whenever I hear a Metallica song I see Lars in my head talking about those heartless thieves who steal their music online. When listening to music, I should be inspired to better myself, not to bash someone's skull in for being a greedy bastard (whether it's an online pirate or a well-off band member).
