This is interesting, because this is one of my absolute favorite Metallica songs, and I had hated how they were doing live songs for a while, with Hetfield's voice going all crazy and Kirk just kinda wah-wah fudging his way through all the old solos... I was pleasantly surprised that this was a good version of the song.
James can't sing anymore and the guitar tone sounds slightly different to other, older videos I've seen of this song. I'd be disappointed if I went to see Metallica and they served up this.
This song is writen by David Mustaine and explains how the priests in Churchs are exploiting small children and homelless to beg for money.Also it is about tv shows using name of Jesus christ to heal people and cheating people to send money through tv shows
I REALLY wish James wouldn't "sing" this song. Really, I wish he wouldn't sing a it of their songs because he seems to be doing that for all their live songs since St. Anger. Just don't James!
i think that metallica would be unreachable with a better drummer. i mean, lars is doing a job thats more than great, but still not in rang with a big number of the great drummers out there...
@Arzenimus it's true that he isn't one of the best but surely he plays more agressive than anyone else.i don't believe than any other drummer could replace him cause his style fits metallica.and don't forget that metallica couldn't be unreachable cause they are;)
His voice doesn't suck for all of you saying it does in this video, he just sings it different than on the CD. Chill out! I don't like as much as the CD but it doesn't suck.
james sounds like a fucking pussy now! i never thought i would say that james' vocals would ruin lepper messiah...... but i guess ill go ahead and say it anyway.
Top 10 underplayed Metallica songs: 10- Leper Messiah 9- Dont Tread on Me 8- Jump In The Fire 7- Anything off of Justice except One 6- Ktulu 5- Motorbreath 4- The Thing That Should Not Be 3- Through the Never 2- Damage, Inc. 1- Orion
Metallica is non-arguable the greatest metal band on the face of this earth..... the old stuff is Legendary, the new music kicks some serious ass, and they do it like no one else can, or could.
I thought it Kiss your "Life" Goodbye not ass, this version of Leper is a bit laid back compared to the album version,probably because back then they were fueled by firewater.
@BigBozSicenunow go suck a dick, kirk is way better than dave, james' voice is still good, not as good as back in the 80s an 90s i admit, lars still has it, and rob is best they have had besides cliff of course
@08Cheeseits Metallica play a different set list at every show. its why the are great live and you can go see them more than once a tour and get a fresh show each time!
that voice thing is bullcrap im sick of people saying his voice is permenantly fucked. im a vocalist for a metal band and its natural that when your playing on tour your vocals generally get strained it happens to all metal singers that arent naturally born to scream, like james
I am was trying to find a good video of this song when there are in the 80's, but the serach is not working so well. If you have one or find one please tell me! thank!
See...it's not that they suck. It's just tht age us creeping up on em.(creeping death?jk) it happens to everything. They can't always be perfect. It might be time for them to hang it up in another five years or so.
your right, i miss it too, but if he hadn't stop the drinking, there wouldn't have been any st anger or death magnetic, and neither every live they made since 2002. And there is awesome lives since 2002. And, he is not in those "Kill em All" times anymore (too bad x.x). So we have to keep the drinking and the flame alive. MetallicA \m/
idiot his voice didnt sound better before because he was drinking but because he blew his voice on the black album tour. if u want james to die then he should start drinking again moron.
Kirk nailed that fuckin solo!!!!
