Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

Lagu dari album baru Death Magnetic (2008). Bagian long-intronya gue demen banget. Sejenis kayak "One" atau "Fade To Black" dimana clean arpeggio dari Hetfield disambut dengan distorted lick dari Hammett. Secara keseluruhan, lagu ini memang mirip dengan "One" yaitu tipe "Half-Ballad, Half-Trasher" (Rolling Stone Magz Review). Pada tulisan ini gue akan memberikan tablature intro tersebut. Untuk full song tabs, terlalu panjang jika diberikan disini, namun bisa loe liat di www.ultimate-guitar.com



Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Guitar 1 - James Hetfield
Guitar 2 - Kirk Hammett

Dengan bunyi seperti film2 horror, minor chords pada part ini ngingetin kita pada lagu "Call Of Ktulu". Namun, video yang agak awkward pada bagian ini (truk tentara AS diserang) seolah mengganggu "kekhusyukan" intro tersebut :P .... Bagian ini langsung disambut oleh Hammett sebagai berikut :

Menurut gue sih kayaknya lebih gampang kalo part ini dimaenin dari fret rendah (mulai dari senar B fret 3), tapi kalo mau kelihatan keren (maen di fret tinggi biar seolah2 jago), ikutin aja aslinya kayak begini...

Mulai mantap disini (pastikan penonton memperhatikan elo) :

(Angkat gitar secara vertikal sambil mem-vibrato-kan not terakhir, biar gaya gitu....)


Back to Hetfield. Bagian berikut ini sedikit sulit, tapi kalo udah dapet feelnya, bunyinya enak banget :

E|----------------3------(3)------0-------------------------------|

Ribet yah, tapi kalo loe udah menguasai interlude "Master Of Puppets", maka ini mustinya gak masalah. Apalagi kalo bisa sambil nyanyi kayak Hetfield. Oh iya, pada bagian ini jangan lupa untuk ngerebut kembali perhatian audience dari si lead guitarist elo yang sok jago itu... XD

Sekian untuk intro part dari "The Day That Never Comes". Selamat berlatih, Salam Metal....

Lyrics for "The Day That Never Comes"

Born to push you around
Better just stay down
You pull away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground

Mouth so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the son shine never comes, no

No, the son shine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself,
Crawl in yourself,
You’ll have your time

God I’ll make them pay
Take it back one day
I’ll end this day
I’ll splatter color on this gray

Waiting for the one,
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the son shine never comes

Love is a four-letter word
And never spoken here

Love is a four-letter word
Here in this prison

I suffer this no longer,
I’ll put an end to this I swear
This I swear

The son will shine
This I swear
This I swear
THIS I SWEAR!!!
