During his carreer, James has always growled and shouted. It was really hard for him to perform that awsome voice. He said that he blowed his voice before the black album, because he tried so hard. After the black album they1ve toured for more than 3 years! Of course he has lost his voice!
i'd rather have james sound like he does today than he does here, you can tell the strain on his vocal chords at this point. constant drinking and touring will do that to you though
jason has/had great backing vocals but e.g. i wanted to hear hetfield's vocals "alone" in the "finished here, greeting death ..." part. he screwed my expectations there. he could be timeless from time to time. but his backing was way better than rob's.
I'm not seeing enough effort on there part to even remotely capture the the songs affect in the studio version. James isn't growling. And kirk is skipping his guitar parts right before the chorus.
If anyone doesn't agree, watch the 1985 live concert version from the "Ride the Lightning" era. It's almost identical to the studio version.
James is being lazy here he was young enough to do the vocal accordingly.
@nined5thclick stupid, listen to his voice its all worn down here. he probably already blew it out at this time. you can hear him struggling to even stay in pitch. fuck u man dont insult the great het.
@redgibson1 Hey, stop making excuses for them. He lost his voice some time towards the end of the justice tour. He had to build it back up for the black album. In monsters of rock 1991 he sounded great. And 2009 Mexico city sounds excellent also.(check it out) I'm just saying this isn't the best live version of this song. They've gone better before and after this.
@nined5thclick this song was made in 85, but it wasnt released until the beggining of 86, unless they were doing a demo live, but they had the lyrics, but they did that with fuel to, so yeah
@DowntownTB13 Very good. You seem to know your history very well. Here is a challenging one for you: What was the original "studio" line up of Metallica. List your answer by name and instruments played.
@Ramtough93 Owe hell yeah!! Lars is doing it. His drums sound great here. You should check out 2009 live in mexico, James sound three time better in that version.
@nined5thclick Oh yeah, Mexico was kickass, ill admit though, Lars was more consistant with his fills on here though. But now that they have Rob, Lars doesnt have to step it up as much.
@Ramtough93 Wow?! What are you trying to say about Jason? Jason Newstend rocks. (check out the bass solo clip from the black album era) And Lars missed a fill right before James started singing. I ment Lar's drums sound great and his playing is solid. But he tends to do different rendisions of the songs when playing live. (not a terrible thing since the songs sound about the same in most cases)
@nined5thclick Nah, i just nag on Jason because because hes the first one to cut his hair, and he left Metallica for an alternative rock group, and he played bass for Load and ReLoad.
@Flaggius dude if u sing for 3 years almost every day u couldn't speak and see james now he still can do kickass stuff with his voice even after 20 years. i am sorry that he lost his voice so fucking what?!
@Flaggius I agree but it didn't completely go to shit until about 97 or 98. even on load his voice still sounds black albumish....if you really listen to alot of the songs....even tho the songs aren't nearly as good as the older stuff he still had that justice like voice there...you just gotta listen closely. by reload and the late 90s it went all to hell. in 03 it was horrendous (james' voice of course). now it's back to near this level (93) but I wish it was back to around 86-89 level....
I wish they didn't drag this tour on so long... it ruined them basically. you can already tell James is losing his voice here and people think he just sucks now, but the truth is He would have been as good as ever if they hadn't toured for 3 years straight. His voice never had any time to heal and he never recovered. But I still love em. rock on!
Actually they toured for around 22 months, but still a long time. And they shouldn´t have toured for so long, but who knows what would have happened, if they had toured until, say until the end of '92. Probably would have released Load in '95. Or not. Who knows, it too complicated to predict.
To be honest I don't have a favorite song by them. I love all the songs from Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and some stuff off the Black Album.
I believe I heard that's masking tape...it's supposed to keep the strings from cutting his hands or something. Not sure why it cuts his hands. I've never had that problem.
@gnrguitar13 I've had my hand bleeding at the palm once after playing creeping death 3 times in a row and some other things just slamming your hand on the bridge can really fuck it up xD
