This actually was done on the Ride the Lightning tour and he didn't growl then eather but he took some of the notes even higher on one that I found. The track was also in a slightly higher pitch because of recording but in the first verse he takes one word WAY higher than it should be.
All you can hear from the audinance when he asks what album it's on is "And Justice For All" and James should have said after that "It's from the blue album with the little chair"
Listen too this one and the one from glasgow yesterday. it's been 5 years and the glasgow version owns this right down the crapper both instrumental and vocal.
I think it would sound better if they played it more. Yeah its not great, but all things considered it was a pretty good take. Only second time they ever played it live, and the way the are it was probably a last minute thing, with very limited time to rehearse. I have been in that situation a few time playing live. Its fun, but it doesn't always work out so great lol.
Sadly no, they have never played Escape live, they have jammed a small bit of the song at some live shows similar to the beggining of this video which they were playing 'The frayed end of sanity'
i can't hear if lars plays double bass or not, as he did play it throughout the whole song on the studio version. that's probably why they never play it.
i gotta say that even though they started off with the best intentions and their original music was badass, lars and james turned out to be the two biggest tolls in the music industry...theyre both so snobbish.
If you guys are expecting James to sound like he did in 85, I have news for you. James has a voice that merits wear and tear. James started losing his raspiness on his high notes a long time ago back in 1994 or so. Hence why he almost sounds like he is "yodeling" in his high notes (for example, S&M). He still growls in his low notes though. It is unreasonable to expect James to sound like he did 20+ years ago. Considering the type of his voice, he sounds fine.
im a huge metallica fan, i saw em four times on this tour, and i must say, its the weakest ive ever heard hetfield's voice. the fact is, his rough ass voice can't handle tours that long anymore. its sad, but true (no pun intended). its better nowadays.. but here it just sux. i saw the second show on this tour in tucson and its the worst metallica show i've seen.
This song in its entirety was not an exodus song at all. The main riff, the one played during the verse, comes from an Exodus song called "Impaler" that Hammett wrote in the early 80s and features that riff. Exodus used to play that song live when Baloff was in the band, and an official recording never came until "Another Lesson in Violence" and then they recorded a studio version for the first time on Tempo of the Damned and in the credits hammett is credited. TUI merely shares the one riff.
Even though he doesn't have his growl, there is just something about it that makes him sound young when he sings it. Maybe because he is singing almost completely clean?
well considering they just started playing this song an hour before the gig, they did ok. They never play this song live and decided to do so right before the concert. So again shut the hell up you moron.
James's voice in this song reminds me of myself when I sing Metallica at kareoke. Which I sing it pretty well for that place and time, but James needs to be better.
If you guys would listen to more than the first 30 seconds you'd get past the intro to Frayed...and they actually play trapped under ice. Nice to hear...Jaymz seems to struggle though
MetallicA, but james sounds like he is trying scratch his nuts and play at the same time. and robert's bass is too loud. lars and kirk are fine though. they need to play it 6x.
However, the original on the album is one of my favorite metallica songs (Metallica ended as we know it after the black album and even thats questionable)
Fuck i could sing the song as it should.
