Metallica - Helpless (Live in Copenhagen, 07/23/09)

[khentoumi]

Rehearse much?



[annafan83]

What camera did you use?

[wrabit79]

when they recorded this cover song it was in the 80's garage days....so of course james can't sing the same way...garage inc. was 90's but only the first cd...second cd they just copied from the original....

[BPL1980]

Why is James dressed like a lesbian?

[AlxGsk]

@BPL1980 ahaahaahaha

[jerryflack4eva]

lars sucks

[manifantichris]

@jerryflack4eva He completely squeezes all the intro part, and squeezes the rest too...plays like the accounter of the band, doesn't care about music.

[logisticsninjistics]

official song for when you get your xbox banned for no reason by scumbag microsoft.

[riddleman65]

Kirk, what the fuck was that supposed to be??

[plankboi]

kirk just rushes through his solos now... its annoying to me because i love his solos.

[PoopyAnis]

@plankboi thats the solo what you mean, he wasint improving there.

[plankboi]

@PoopyAnis he used to play his solos how they originally were written but now its like he speeds through all of them. its his solo so he can do what he wants but its still annoying.

[crazyhiho]

i dont hate how james sounds now.... i just miss the way he sounded in the 80s!! that shit was raw power.

[ThePhantomTerror]

What are you talking about??

James sounded great!!

[mayapoder]

OMG ..... its a piece of big , long and disgusting SHIT !!... i prefer that master piece of DIAMOND HEAD ..

[IHateOnlineUsernames]

Guys, there are basically 3 elements you're hearing. 1. The Live Performance 2. The Live Mix 3. Whatever the Hell This Was Recorded On. Every night, mix, show sounds slightly different. You're also hearing this through thousands of watts live. They're great. Live it would smash your face in. Trust me, the KICK is there, people. What you hear on albums is after months of recording and MIXING. This is the reflection of the 3 elements listed above.

[crazyhiho]

@IHateOnlineUsernames your 100% correct... sadly its the fools that don't play or know anything about instruments that beak off about it.

[monamOneX]

the guitars sound weak here I mean they gotta be louder than james's voice. Great peformance btw ;) Check the Mexico version. It's perfect !

[sos1slayeriron]

james sings the shit ... but in 1982-1989 he sang very very fucking good

[deadline27]

STRANGE EYE AT 3:34 .....? upper left hand side

[Linkaara]

@deadline27 lol what the hell was that man?¡?¡ XD and the eye seems static, it doesnt seems like a reflection or something

[soberek]

'Tallica's sound engineers are truly the master of the craft. I can clearly hear every single note stroked. Marvellous.

[GerMaggot555]

@soberek lars bassdrum sounds weak

[soberek]

@GerMaggot555 Get yourself some decent speakers. Foot sounds just fine.

[GerMaggot555]

@soberek I have decent speakers ... but his bassdrum sounds (for me) too weak, and the black and justice album the bassdrum sound is powerfull

[soberek]

@GerMaggot555 Not very good examples. Maybe I agree that in this performance the drums are a little bit quieter than the rest, but the same is with guitars, all set up to pump the vocals up, which sounds great. Second, sorry to say, Justice and Black are the worst mixes of the whole catalogue. Justice was pumped over the top cutting all bass freqs, and black was overproduced. Listen to the individual tracks, like: watch?v=9F3yY_eCSDg and you'll hear artificial boosts and dips of the drum shots.

[GerMaggot555]

@soberek your are 100% right, but I mean only the bass drum from the justice or black album



[MonstrOtheBanD]

People the dude sounds good, the vocal mix is a bit dry and you try singing out loud for two hundred shows a year...

[therealCanablisS]

half the fan dont even no the tune ,,,,disgusting

[kjrossblackmore]

diamond head classic

[intruso28]

yea a like metallica

[TheTaylorBarrett]

am i the only that died laughing from him saying "helpless from 2:07 to 2:19 ??

XD

[Jaevin89]

i think james change in voice can be first attributed to blowing it out singing so what in the early 90s and then after he quit drinking came the next big change

[WRCreedRS]

WAAAAAAAA LOVE THIS FUCKING HELL IM @ ADDICTEED

[maxus9cito]

JAMES IS GOD

KIRK IS GOD

LARS IS GOD

ROBERT IS MONKEY GOD

METALLICA IS GOD!!!!!!!!!

[bbeboutuaa]

I think James needs more grease in his hair LOL

[WRCreedRS]

LOl i watched the beatles first, what i fucking hate, and listen to this song next, makes it MORE AWESOME THEN IT IS :D

[rocksta90]

his voice isn't the best anymore imo...but because of that u still know that they don't do playback :P

[James66881]

@rocksta90 realy his voice isnt best so why 30 million peopel like metallica?omg...

[Feijoada1]

3:52 Kirk messed up in the solo

[WRCreedRS]

@Feijoada1 care

[Feijoada1]

@WRCreedRS  best friends

[WRCreedRS]

@Feijoada1 XD

[KillzoneV3]

i really wanna thank the uploader for taking time to film this so we can watch it :D

[JosephGallagher]

I miss the growl indeed, but back in mid 80's he still sounded too... un-developed?

Dunno if that's a word

[robbaflob]

Metallica are all in their late 40's so give them some fucking credit for still playing completely fucking kickass music!

[BobSmashdotcom]

You frickin' idiots...James' voice is different now because he damaged his vocal chords recording "So What". Since then his voice has been completely different because he can no longer do the growls and screams. Go watch "Some Kind Of Monster" before commenting on his voice. I'm no fan of post-Justice Metallica, but facts are facts - his voice is stripped.

[LegoGenfilms]

@BobSmashdotcom well he can sing in Some Kind of Monster- he just stopped Growling

[METALLICA4EVER1000]

your not the only i think so to



[johnnycobb00]

@blaze09 na mate i defo agree james's voice sounds well better now than it ever did,,,metallica just moved on they aint interested in lurking around wishing they were young again lol,,james kiks fukkin ass man and thats what he does best..the thing that should not be from this gig is the best ever recording ive ever heard of that song and ive been around lol

[johnnycobb00]

@blaze09 na mate i defo agree james's voice sounds well better now than it ever did,,,metallica just moved on they aint interested in lurking around wishing they were young again lol,,james kiks fukkin ass man and thats what he does best

[johnnycobb00]

did this guy go to all the copenhagen gigs coz his recordings are all mixed from diff shows lol,,not that im complaining man tallica fukkin rule the copenhagen gigs were the best thing about 2009

[tariksba]

the sound is very good ,what's the mark of camera did you use ???

very good quality of image...

[Randomness84726]

I wish the camera man could pay more attention to Lars.

[samborna1002]

oh shit, i just thought of it... now i know where they've gotten motorbreath from! :D

[samborna1002]

"yeah" , "oh, yeah!" I love james haha he is so awesome <3

[PhoenixDeath27]

what did u shoot this on, u gotta tell me!

[JakesHouseProduction]

I normally dont enjoy his voice live just because i think its been worn out but i liked this a lot.But i just think the whole band just take a break for a year or two once they are done in austaillia and japan.James has worn his voice out he has been on tour since 2008 and played concerts almost every night God know that they need a break.Its not that i dont appretiate what they have done for us but i wanna see them live before there BATTRY runs low

[Sthlmprog]

Great speach at the begining, about Diamond Head.

[THRASHERNATIVE911]

his old voice and his new voice are bold fucking bad ass.. aka... i love st.anger

[nt122989]

@THRASHERNATIVE911 im with ya bro

[SstalkerS]

Great quality! Awsome vid.....

[zuschepet]

'HELPLESS!'

I love this Chorus!!

[echolli]

is best in mexico city hehehe 

XD

[nomad2746]

Damn, wish I could've been @ these two shows. They pulled out all the stops. Hit the Lights, Disposable Heroes, Helpless, My Apocalypse....Wow. What a set. Though I've seen them twice on the World Magnetic tour and they played Fight Fire and Damage, Inc. so I guess I can live with that.

[alejos173]

Please, answer... what camera type you used?. Great image & sound

[WhiplashSeattle1989]

wow this audio and video quality is better than the stuff I see on their actual site LOL! great camera!

[TheRasze]

Great quality what camera did u use?

[oljepumpar]

OMFG the audience can´t get out! If a fire started they´d be helpless ;)

[poolpig]

@oljepumpar Great White style!

[RobinHooy]

Pity there's no "I can see the stars..." part.

[kingdeadly1]

KILL EM ALL I SAY

[StrangeWorldDept]

played live in Panama.. march / 8 / 2010

great show.. legendary!

[metalistas1993]

Where you get those soundboard audios?

[27alfa]

So f..king niice.. What a great show..

[xVxGuitarx]

great quali!

[remmachine]

Metallica e foda mesmo, os caras tocam muito bem

muito loco

[blaze09]

am i the only person who thinks his voice sounds better than it did in the 80's?

[LucaCava94]

me too!!!!!!!

[DvdBGates]

@blaze09 no i like it more now to

[metalistas1993]

Me five

[poolpig]

@blaze09 he's learned a lot, it has its plus' and negatives then and now

[sysmeta]

@blaze09 yes, you are

[Phishphantom]

@blaze09 Your serious??? Umm,I guess you have not heard them try to sing Trapped Under Ice or Fight Fire with fire lately???

[blaze09]

@Phishphantom why would i that songs sucks even back then.

[Phishphantom]

@blaze09 -Just goes to show that you are a fucking POSER faggot! Go listen to some Winger or Trixter you LOSER!

[blaze09]

@Phishphantom ha you call me a poser why dont you go back to listen to the backstreet boys because there fagness works for you.

[spoilermdc]

@blaze09 yes you are. his voice is so hit or miss. it sucks on this one. and most of the crowd doesnt even know this song as most of metallicas fans now are fucking metal head wanna-be's

[dr4v3n]

@blaze09 No way!!!

[sgwinn1]

@blaze09 It matured, and he got vocal training after blowing out his voice doing covers, and then recording Metallica songs for black album in 1991.

[thrashtilldeath09]

@sgwinn1 he blew out his voice in 92 singing so what live

[LegoGenfilms]

@blaze09 nope

[thrashtilldeath09]

@blaze09 not the only but only one of few

[mikeGraaw]

@blaze09 Hell fuckin no! Now I know he hurt his voice some years ago but he was way more aggressive b4. Shit Chuck Billy had throat cancer and he sounds better. Not trying to be over critical, just my opinion(which is like an asshole,everyone's one)!

[deadline27]

@blaze09 yeah, well they are tuned way lower these days

so it's alot easier for him to sing to the music.

[Adrian5606]

@blaze09

He doesn't sound bad, but his voice had more fire and was a little deeper. This video doesn't exactly have quality voice either, but the instruments good.

[bigbear159]

@blaze09 only you and 41 other people...

[purseonal2010]

@blaze09 nope I would rather hear the classic James voice, not his singing-carry-a-tune voice.

[sicblister]

thats right

[MetallicA1399]

Real fans appritiate this ! James is 46 and he is better then all those new punk metal bands ,,

they might have struggled few years ago ,, But now they kick ass ! xD

[mirdrin]

@MetallicA1399 james is doing much better. but lets be honest, Lars is doing much worse... I'm sad to admit it, but he's the weakest link here! even when Kirk is struggling to play solos he's been playing for 25yrs! Thank God for James!

[xlglobetrotterxl]

kurva jól szólnak.picsába

[markyd21]

Damn, nice video man! This is better quality than the MOT vids!

[tariksba]

video sound is good,nice job man....

Metallica Rules.....

[CaptainFantastik1]

Metallica is everything they used to be. The fact that Hetfield is struggling a bit with his voice in his late 40's doesn't change that one bit. Musically, they are as tight as they ever were.

[JaviVS]

james is a good singer

the problem is that i the 80s he was a FREAKIN AWESOME singer

we all know that metallica isnt what it used to be

but whatever, its still cool

if u like it listen to it and if u dont, dont listen to it

as simple as that

[MAVERICKBORICUA]

what is it with people criticizing his voice!! for godsake hes almost 50 tell me what other band can play like that live! just apreciate what they have done for music and for us!! Im puerto rican and i was raised hearing metallica and their goood motherfucking music!!! REal fans apreciate what they have done and keep doing!! THANKS METALLICA

and sorry for my engllish

[Satyr1975]

@MAVERICKBORICUA What about Dave Mustaine? He hasn't changed. Tom Araya? Bruce Dickinson? Maybe a little, but nothing compared to Hetfields transformation. Personally, I liked him better in the old days, when he was still a mean, angry metal god.

[runemies2]

@MAVERICKBORICUA True fans words! Listen to him!

[ChromeHowl]

@MAVERICKBORICUA hell yeah man i think he still is amazing

[666danielclark666]

@MAVERICKBORICUA Maiden play better than they do?

[GetchaPull92]

This is what metal is all about! old school! James' voice is almost back in the shape it was in the 80's! kick ass! They're on fire still into their 40's.

[edencrash10]

Thank you for sending me the video damn they sound so good!

[purplehalfstack]

i lik james old voice, but alot of people dont understand that half of the sound of his voice came from overdubbing over and over, using delay, and reverb. on the last couple of albums it was pretty much just one singing track, so it sounded blant.

[iamakornfan]

this is fucking awewsome their gods metal is my religion

[BluBel123]

Excellent front view!!!

James looks sexy!

[metallicaandco]

their are fucking gods

[Metallihead22]

that Zemaitis flying v is a real master piece!!

[dkatorza]

this v guitar james playing is amazing!

[dxjaymz]

Oh my.. Kirk cant play the solo anymore...

[pistolwhipper]

left out my favorite verse but its ok haha

[pistolwhipper]

oh my holy shit that was a fucking amazing performance

[DIRGOSS7]

yeahhh helpless

[YourTube1989]

GOD DAMN!!!!!!!! The best perfomance of Helpless EVER!!!!!!!

[MagneticMetallica81]

[swidikrull]

[Blacklight1978]
