The same thing that happened to Geddy Lee. He got older. His voice changed. James was always a baritone, and it came out. He just never figured out what to do with it, especially in the old songs. (Hint: it's called transposition.)
@ChaplainDMK lol i was wondering if that was dee, and for a second i was like wtf glam covering MetallicA, then i was like, oh wait, fuck motley crue.. BANG YOUR HEADS!!! lol i agree, dee is glam, but metal too, and he def. is the only glam ive heard that pulls it off, cause he is real and not just bs, his glam is to say fuck you world, not fuck me women and give me money world.
03:40 Everytime that dude says: "And I suggest everybody get down here..." I think:" I wanna be there, but I need to get time machine first." Way I had to be born 1986? WAY?
You can see that even in 85-86 Metallica have been accused in selling out just because they were too good and respectively became much more popular than other thrash bands. The same thing kept happening to them after each album because they were doing and playing what they wanted.
@wertyuioman not exactly... he said "people think we sold out because we singed with a major label". that is moving forward. softening up and changing their music style to a more mainstream style to expand their audience and get more record sales is selling out. and that is exactly what they did.
@MrKrakilsk i said 5 years later... and this was filmed in 1986,so 5 years from that is 1991, when the black album came out and they began selling out... i think and justice for all was their best album and their last good album...
@SkippyUsht So you think the Load albums, s&m, st anger and Lulu are mainstream? Those albums weren't looked kindly upon by many Metallica fans but they've said time and time again how they did it cause they wanted to. After hearing so many people tell them that their new music sucks and that their constant changing is bad they still continue to try new ideas.
wow I remember when MTV actually had something related to music unlike today with that teen mom crap and the rest of those crappy reality tv shows.Let's be honest who in here actually gives flying fuck about these stupid so-called reality tv shows.
Check out my band man, its not all bad music... support new thrash metal bands.... leave a fucking comment and keep an eye guys........ every band needs a shot!
why am I born in this fucked up perion -.- I mean im eightteen now, The music is fucked, i cant do shit or i get arrested, AND I COULDNT FUCKING SEE METALLICA IN EARLY YEARS! :@
It's like that fan said... its real music. They have something special. The diversity is amazing. From Fade to Black to Master of Puppets to Unforgiven to One....and everything in between. Fuckin love it..........
@sumoivar Lol that's because all the hot chicks went to see bands like bon jovi or ratt and dudes would chase them. The real fucked up kids like myself would go see metallica
@sumoivar yeah, and they would have kicked your fuckin face in, so then you would have been ugly as shit. there weren't any bitch ass shit talkers like you in the 80s. find your ass dumped off on a gravel road somewhere, while the car was still moving.
