The Change in James Hetfield's Voice V2

[oldcomputer666]

Justice voice is endurance voice, more roars, its diferent, we never have seen something like. That thing changed a lot at the black album era

[trzyorly]

The difference between Megadeth and Metallica is that Megadeth hasn't lost its power. From load Metallica started rollin down

[kjn5991]

@trzyorly though they gained some with Death Magnetic, and hopefully the next album is good too (no, i dont mean the LULU with Lou Reed). but Hetfield never sounded like baby like Dave few years back and Daves voice is still coming back.

[Aerosmithlover1000]

u forgot S and M! :0 otherwise you did a great job.

[pilartxo]

And now he begins to have a voice of a grandfather jajajajaja but still love him

[pilartxo]

Simple. Until Master, boy's voice and from Justice, man´s voice

[evilspeddie]

Not really fair to judge James' voice on Fade to Black, sonce it was meant to be sang slow and low....you had it beyter with Ride the Lightning the song

[vlogsdeljuan]

dude you didn´t put any good song in master of puppets you must put master of puppets in and justice for all you would put dyers eve or one in the black album you would put enter sandman in load king nothing in re load fuel in garage inc. mercyful fate in st. anger frantic

[kijkenify]

@vlogsdeljuan no I don't feel that way I think unforgiven 2 was i wise choice it's a purely awesome song and he has a old school Hetfield voice there... and The Unnamed Feeling is good choice too his voice has a few changes

but you know this is my oppinion

[badboyfabregas]

Baaaaaaad choices song wise....sry, it had to be said.

[RemcoGamer95]

Which Lettertype Is That?

[mattzse]

This video confirms that Metallica took a turn for the worst after the Black Album. Metallica used to be fantastic, what the hell happened?

[drfreshey]

@mattzse They progressed as a band, which is what good bands do, because otherwise they end up soundinng the like the same thing every album (like Slayer).

[metallicaandkornrock]

The best was on St.anger

[Manuelxnz]

The best is in The Black Album, sure.

[PuCh0ooo]

@Manuelxnz that's relative.... I like Kill em all and Ride the lightning voice much more... it's Pure Metal xD

[widzewlordi]

James can't sing untlil Load album! Too much scream

[oie153]

mama said ¬¬' james becoming cowntry '--'

[andrewm9999]

i think his voice is best in the black album which i think is one of the reasons why its sold so well

[pchermidafilho97]

Fav Voices

1. Justice

2. Ride The Lighting

3 .Master

4. Kill Em All

5. Black Album

6. St Anger

7. Death Magnetic

8. Reload

9. Load

[jameshetfield98]

kill em all to garage inc james still got the same agresivity st anger not much but death mag james back the the only bad album is st anger???????????

[KatsumottoThuggy]

totally best @ time of ...And Justice For All album

[TheDutchMusician]

the mayor change in james voice is between black album en load imo..

[gingerlad8000]

@TheDutchMusician because he broke voice box in 92

[D011ARS4G011D]

his voice in 89 was orgasmic

[MrRokkiKukko]

black album's voice is the best imo

[joeydestroyer]

@MrRokkiKukko Nah I gotta say S & M and Garage Inc era

[chodrick1]

its called puberty, you can hear his voice crack in Seek And Destroy, he was just getting his wings thats all

[jasmmmm]

Justice era James, especially on tour, was when he was untouchable. There was no better metal vocalist around during that time.

[King666Slayer]

Best voice : Kill 'em All + Ride The Lightning

[Psychontinos13]

the big change was from Justice to Black

[GuitarPro7908]

@Psychontinos13 i think big change was Master to Justice

[Psychontinos13]

@GuitarPro7908 I don't think it was the big change but it was a change....I still think that the big was from master to justice..my opinion...

[avafreak252]

cool video

[Dennemark]

He can now do the high's from the 80's again, and he's working on the screams, we can tell.

He still has the heaviness of the aged voice though, but everyone does :)

[MetaITV]

MOP and AJFA vocals were pretty good. kfc

[SithLord908]

i cant get it to dowload to where i can out it on paint

[pipopower12]

fuck man the guitar work in saint anger is just so basic so uncreative

[RawwestHide]

Even if you look at Hetfield over the years, somewhere during Master of Puppets era he became huge and started turning into Black Album hetfield. Before that he looked and sounded 15.

[palindrome06]

Definitely the Black Album era is the best I think.

[knoxman3]

@palindrome06 id say that the ride to and justice was better, that includes master right.

[AuzFreeRunnaJD]

nahh i like the voice from the black/load era

[8disposablehero]

everyones voice changes. it's cool when a guitarist takes the mike because there's no real singer in the band. he's the shit  no matter what...his voice has been different at every concert i've been to. it's a non issue! JAMZ is the best inspiration you could ask for! plus his guitars kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2shae1980]

Death Magnetic is the best imo.... but the others are good in their own way as well

[DeathMetalShredd666]

i think its pretty damn obvious there is a change.. just listen to anything from kill em all. and then hit reload and beyond.. big difference

[raz0rcarich99]

Thumbs up if you think Justice Era is the more screaming version of Puppets.

[TheBLOODLINEmusic]

@raz0rcarich99 James's voice on the Justice tour= fucking amazing

[MasterDeathLightning]

it rock star puberty :P

[Fedeleven]

His voice in garage inc. and in death magnetic sounds the same xD

[skate4life2022]

Best voice= Ride the lightning era.

[blackgrm]

@skate4life2022 best voice = Justice for all era.

[Rocker095150]

how about v3 includes no life till leather demo, seattle 89, and diego 1992

[callumbrady88]

this is a perfect example of why metallica has stood the test of time. the didnt stay the same for any two albums bar Load/Reload

[TheEmilskytte]

i don't think his voice at load is bad, if you hear his voice in bleeding me and outlaw torn, his voice is incredible ..

[BYAAHHH476]

load is where it all goes downhill.

[BYAAHHH476]

load is where it all goes downhill.

[xorat1977]

DM at James best Voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rocker095150]

@xorat1977 youre fucking crazy

[kvaks3000]

Holy shit the production/mastering on Death Magnetic sounds like shit!

[Mu4dD1b15]

@kvaks3000 that was the point....

[bmsbrf]

justice - black album, reload - load S&M, ride - master, kill - death magnetic, st anger. < for me

[Rocker095150]

@bmsbrf youre an idiot for that

[gabe3321]

S&M is best

[WizzardOfGlue]

RTL and MOP sound the same but MOP has that evil touch to it

[ChaplainDMK]

@WizzardOfGlue

RTL is alot more melodic while MOP is just pure mindcrushing thrash.

[guitarmaster97]

In my opinion Justice was his best voice

[OddJobKid99]

same, or S&M or DM for me... 3 way tie

[edgarbarradaskate]

i loved it

and thanks for the font!!

[96Dethmagnetic]

where did u get the metallica writing

[guitarist8688]

Forgot ReLoad haha, that would go under after Load.

[guitarist8688]

My Favourite Voices in order. Best to last.

Black album

Load

Justice

S&M

Puppets

Ride

Kill

St. Anger

Death Magnetic

[ReetrdedInk]

@guitarist8688 you are stupid

[guitarist8688]

@ReetrdedInk

How so? It's only my opinion, haha.

I didn't post a favourite ALBUMS list, it's a favourite VOCAL PERFORMANCE list.

[ReetrdedInk]

@guitarist8688 St. Anger should be last, Load and Reload should be a tie because they are the same album, death megnetic shouldn't be last, and S&M isn't a studio album. If you include S&M, you have to include:Garage days Revisted and Garage Inc

[guitarist8688]

@ReetrdedInk Well, Discount S&M then.

I just think James' voice has suffered in the last few years. That's why i put St. Anger above Death Magnetic.

He can still sing well, but his voice on St. Anger sounds nicer to me.

[boroladecadence]

and justice voice, for me, the best voice of hetfield

[metzepp]

i think he used to smoke, but then he stopped, which took some of the snarl out of his voice

[IberiaSumergida]

I actually like his actual voice better.

[ryuhoshi23]

yeah, james voice in kill em all make the guitar fasterj james voicce on kill em all is the best is THRASH!

[chri458n]

ever since the black album, James has had to warm up his voice so as not to damage it from all the yelling while they recorded the album. I think it has a lot to do with it.

[chazb123]

@chri458n He's also twenty-five years, more like twenty-eight years, older. His voice has matured and become fuller. Also, advances in technology allow for better sound, etc.

[olpdragon]

his voice now makes the guitar slower, lol

[Adrinz]

you should compare the old versions of a lot of songs... thats where you can hear how james has changed his voice...

his voice sucks now.

[mwgquad]

@ adrinz well every one dose get older

he cant help it and plus all singing for what 20 years+ yeah your voice will change...

[Metalfreak77]

his voice changed but his lough is still the same :D

[TheFranticSlug]

@Metalfreak77 Dirty Window would like to have a word with you

[NuitariZz]

the voice of Hetfield is allway fantastic...

[gtamoviestudios]

@NuitariZz i couldn't agree more.

[TheMcmarchelo]

Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets :D

[TheRmaister]

nice vid, although the difference in james voice between Load and ReLoad isn't that interesting. Most of that songs were recorded in the same period (double album)

[4everAMetallicA]

where can u get the metallica letters? i want 'em so bad :-(

[ThePackNess]

I would also like to know that lol, it's awsome.

[Jman1402]

@ThePackNess: I'll put the download link in the description.

[kevinvdven]

awsome

[Luukjuh13]

his voice is best on ...and justice for all

[Jegcpr]

@Luukjuh13

Black Album!!

[KCNirvanaKC]

Nice vid.
