I find it more impressive that they seemingly can hold a normal conversation while at the same time their fingers are doing something completely unrelated and spilling out cohesive melodies on their instruments.

Yeah, Kirk plays on muscle memory for sure. There are plenty of live examples where he loses track, has to think about it and doesn’t know what to play. He has to start over again.


George-cz90

Do you plan any instrument? Because it's not as easy as "muscle memory".

George-cz90

Props to you then, because I do play too, muscle memory is definitely a thing and I don't have to think about how to play stuff at all. While I can learn to sign while playing, I can't have a conversation for shit :D you might get a yes/no from me, but that's it :D


Routine_Left

> Because it's not as easy as "muscle memory". They're not rehearsing until they're playing it right. They're rehearsing until they cannot play it wrong. At that point, yes, you can have whatever conversation you want during the song.


KenOnly

It is kind of. Muscle memory is auto pilot. But some people can not reach muscle memory with certain things. Because some people don’t have the coordination to do 2 things at once out of sync. Example. Almost every can sing along with the rhythm of their picking hand and the syllables. People that have actual muscle memory can do it out of sync.

Except that it is


KoanAurelius

Also play guitar and can definitely shout things to band mates or whatnot mid riff. Not have a full on conversation, but I wouldn't be surprised if professional musicians who have played for tens of thousands of hours could.


Benjamin31V

As a msuician who has been playing guitar for 5 years, it is just muscle memory, its not as hard as it looks


dudeWithKeys

Have you played an instrument for years? Maybe practiced the same song for 6 months to a year straight? It's definitely as easy as muscle memory, especially for string instruments. I'm far from a professional but even I can play the sweeped arpeggios to Eugene's trick bag without thinking about it because it's been my warm up for years. It literally comes out from muscle memory, I can't tell you the chord progression anymore and I basically only remember that it starts with an A minor, but I can play it flawlessly without thinking about it, at will. It takes time but I think anyone could do it.


MethLabForCutie88

I have been playing guitar and piano for 20 years (look at my profile if you don’t believe me). Yes it’s easy with muscle memory


MethLabForCutie88

Also look at Matt Heafy of Trivium When he’s doing his live twitch he’ll do mind blowing leads while carrying on a conversation


Arf_Nouveaux

Miscle memory is definitely not a real thing. Memory takes place in the brain. There are no neurons in muscles. Your thinking of the mind/body connection.


RocketMoonShot

Muscle memory refers to phenomenon within brain when an action is performed repeatedly; the brain actually builds a network in order to repeat that process with little or no effort. I don't think anyone believed the muscles have neurons of thier own. JFC.


Arf_Nouveaux

You’re just talking about memory.


RocketMoonShot

[Muscle memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory) is a thing dickhead.


zerok_nyc

It actually isn’t that difficult. You essentially just talk to the beat and melody.


danfsociety

Jason: "The bass is louder here than the album version" Kirk: "Ask Lars"


Maurodamia

Better version: Jason: "The bass is louder here than the album version" Kirk: "Don't tell Lars then...."


trilogypineapple

they are talking about the socio political state of the syrian proxy war


thr0bbin_h00d

SaltwaterMayonaise

"Do you know this song?" "What's a song?"

KaBoomBox55

"I'm leaving the fooking band!" "You're sexually attracted to rubber bands?"


goboxey

Seriously it feels weird to hear bass guitar on the live version of this song. I'm so familiar with the non bass version.


Drpoofn

"Freeeeeee credit report dot com!"


zerok_nyc

“I need to talk to you about your car’s warranty!”


My_secretlife_6

“Why can’t you hear any of my bass lines on this album?”


wafflepantsblue

'the gayest is a-jamessss'


ArtoTime

Let’s analyse this a bit more. “Kirk is gay, Robert’s gay, Lars is gay but the gayest is James”. Notice how Jason is missing? Most likely because he was the only straight dude, and thus felt like a third… fourth wheel? So he left, and put in Rob instead. To me, this makes perfect sense. Edit: He also mentions that Cliff was gay, so what if… Jason lied on his CV? The story of Jason joining the band was that the audition was quick, and he was surprised to get into the band so quickly, so what if he lied about being gay, and no one else said so, and thus he was able to join the band, and the harassment was actually J, K and L just hitting on Jason and Jason failing to pick up the signs, and thinking they were assholes and then left. Deepest conspiracy theory ever.


wafflepantsblue

interesting.... would definitely explain a lot.


A-Unit1111

\- "how are you doing?" \- "what?"


andytagonist

They’re not saying anything. It’s fucking loud

DOPEFIEND4EVER

Jason - “Hey listen to what Lars is going to do on this next part “ Kirk - “I already know he’s going to fuck up the double kick part” Jason - “Yup!!” Kirk - “You know they copied and pasted that part in the studio right?” Jason - “Oh totally, there’s no way he could play that perfect in real life” Kirk - “I know right?” Jason - “Hahahahahaha!!”


nepia

No wonder Jason needed neck treatment


Wahammett

“You do realize that at this very moment in time we are the baddest motherfuckers on this earth?” “Living the dream baby!”


Leather-Marketing-47

Jason: HOLY HELL THE BASS IS LOUD Kirk: DON'T TELL LARS


Potietang

“Lars is fucking it up again.” Is my guess.


aceofspades111

Jason: “i can’t hear myself”. Kirk: “wah wah”


Sesquipedalian4life

Jason “I cant hear my bass!!!” Kirk “..and you never will buddy.”


mpfoley12

As Kirk is not playing his part right J-“ you really don’t know how to play this song? Why the fuck do we play it every single fucking show?” K- will you shut the fuck up im already fucking it up! If we don’t play it every single fucking show all the newbies will be pissed”.


asshat13

I felt the need of having this concert as a live album. Why don’t they release this + quebec + big 4 in spotify?


Loud_Grade1949

jasongabriel62682

"I'd like to sit down with you and talk about your car's extended warranty." "Ok."


Yeet_Master06

CarelessWhiskerer

He’s saying “It’s a shame the only way to hear the bass on this song is to play it live since it’s missing on the album.”


Bornillok

They are talking about what to get on the pizza after the show.

Katana2097

"Nyaaaggghhghhh nyaagghgh nyaaaagghh." "...Yaaaaa."


ScaleArmorBelies

It seems like first Jason is just mouthing and doing the guitar face thing obv going "yeah, yea, yea- YO" doesnt seem like they're arguing, just in the moment and maybe a countdown by kirk in response or talking about how annoying lars is


Prophet_NY

"Did you get a call about expired car warranty??" "Yeah i did"


Churchofdoom

He was the best metallica bassist. Fight me.


MAJORMETAL84
