Question for musicians or people with musical ability only!

2 Songs that are considered very good musically, that I do like, that I was curious about - I've heard many people who play guitar especially say that they like the songs, structure, etc. Even if you don't like the band, what can you say about these two tunes -


Metallica - Master of Puppets & GNR - November Rain

    I don't really understand what your asking.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    master of puppets rocks. one of the best metallica songs, period.

    November Rain = overplayed... but the solo at the end is fucking ridiculous.

    ;)

    Sorry about that - I wanted to know if you liked these songs musically, and what about them if anything , did you think was cool -

    The post after yours pointed out the Slash's solo on NRain, that was kinda what I was looking for. Just a general feel from musicians on them -

    Master of Puppets is a good workout if you need to tighten up on those palm-muting skills.

    November Rain has a nice chord progression, and is total pop rock dressed up as rock and roll.

    Master Of Puppets really takes you all over the place I think, although I've never played the whole thing.

    I've never tried November Rain........

    I used to play in a Metallica cover band some 8 years ago, vocals and James' guitar. Master of Puppets was always my favorite to play, always had a blast with it.
    I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month.

    still today i have a ritual to listen to november rain, so incredible the music is... it is perfect.. the piano, the orchestra, the vocals, the backing vocals, the bass (and i don't like duff too much as a player), and of course, the solos have speed and feeling.. i love that music..

    master of puppets is an incredible music as well... powerful, well constructed..

    i think they're both gold songs.. that kind you can't say "this chord didn't sound well" or "the solo could have more of this or that".. they're awsome!
