stein Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The only problem is that this guy is not credited with playing on the album....and METALLICA seems pretty honest and liberal about who they credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestructorsKillMusic1982 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 That reeks of some bullshit. And a nice collection of negative feedback accusing him of being a scammer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Judging by the starting bid price, he dont really want to sell it, and/or its just some kind of publicity stunt. Aint no 80 V worth that, even if owned by a somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 According to Wikipedia's Metallica page, Metallica DID credit him on the OG Metal Massacre comps that put Metallica on the map. Check for yourselves before you talk trash, even if he's trying to get crazy money for that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check for yourselves before you talk trash, even if he's trying to get crazy money for that guitar. That is the reason I said what I said. I checked, and his story don't add up. Specifically, he claims credit for "Master of Puppets" as well, so he makes quite a stretch from what amounts to a lead (or a couple) to being a "Metallica recording artist", and again, claiming credit for another record he was not around for. I might sound harsh, but when you take credit for something you didn't do, you take away credit from someone. In this case, it would imply that Metallica is wishy-washy in who they credit. Uncool when it seems they are just the opposite, as they share credit more than most when it is due. I am only going by what I read, So I don't know the truth. I only state that his story in the ad does not jive, and metallica's history of crediting musicians does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I can't speak to your MOP points (and frankly IDGAF, that album blows) but dude recorded with Metallica and helped put them on the map back when they still had a clue, and that's cool as fuk in my book no matter what. If you recorded with Metallica, ESPECIALLY way back when they still had a clue, ... hm ... I think you are legitimately a recording artist with Metallica no matter what (which "Metallica's history of crediting musicians jives with").

The EBAY ad is still up. What do you think about it? What do you think of his claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm..........I dunno..........I once played a Metallica C.D. on a C.D. player......I should put it up on e-bay..... :unsure: ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rare...most listen through file sharing. Before that, we traded tapes of demos. BTW...have you even re-recorded a lead over a blues cover that I once played? I'm thinking I wanna cash in.

DestructorsKillMusic1982 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'll check the Metal Massacre comp when I get home, I wouldn't rely on Wikipedia for anything, anyone can write whatever they feel like on there. I still think something in there reeks of BS, just not sure what part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loco68 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 He did those shows in San Francisco with Metallica,at the Fillmore in December,my guess is he's probably broke and he thinks somebody will actually pay that much. It's not like it's Hetfields original Gibson Explorer. He did a solo on that "Metal Massacre" album for Metallica before they were "METALLICA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
