Christos Makris that's why i can't stand metallica anymore,it is so many years the songs are played always in the same fucking way,and the only difference from show to show is the number of errors they would make during the playing..i'm a bit sick of it and given the fact that people have to pay a ticket (an expencive one) to see them live,it doesn't seem pretentious at all to me if one's pretending a well played show without stupid errors and photocopied setlists...
^ great point. they play everything the same. the only difference is what five songs they will play that are different out of the 18 they play. i.e., they always open with creep, one is somewhere in the middle, 12-15 is master, nothing else matters, and enter sandman, the encore is a cover, followed by something from kill em all (usually hit the lights), followed by seek and destroy. if people want to see that, watch a youtube video. it pains me to say that it would only be a slight difference in songs and the only cool thing you would get from it would be saying you saw them
@@9HellbounD6 who fuckin cares you don't wonna see metallica but what's the problem with other people seeing them stop act like an elitist and learn to fucking enjoy music
@@9HellbounD6 Oh so you expect Metallica to not to play Master, Creep, Sandman Seek etc. When almost half of all attendance is first time concert goers?
exactly, if i sung like he did in 84 my throat would be killing me and im 17, its probably just a lot more comfortable for him to sing in his new style. in a couple of live songs you can hear its like he switches voices and goes back to his 80's sound but only for like a second
He fucked up his vocal chords in the 90s (can't remember exactly but I believe it was in the ReLoad Era) and had to have surgery. Afterwards he had to take vocal lessons so he wouldn't rip his vocal chords again
i don't know why but metallica had many different james' 81-84: kid becoming a man 85-87:damn that guy has nuts 88-92: he's like: be with us or get blown away by me=> voice peak 93-96: he lost his voice 97-99: mature metal god (sry but his s&m voice is the best after the justice era) 2000-2006: damn i'm sich of that shit from 2006 on: I still got the balls to have that old voice but i'm just too lazy.... everytime he changed his appearance completely, his voice changed: justice=> bearded=> voice like a lions roar load-sm => dark hair/shorter hair : mature voice you could hate his voice but there's one thing no hater will ever change: Hetfield has the voice fitting for metallica, the voice for bringing feeling out of his mind into our minds. And the fucking voice to scream the shit out of that hipster bastards. He reached all a musician could reach. And that's the fact he should be honored for. He makes mistakes he's just a human as we all are!!!!
+berkay gungormus i honestly think after awhile, he began to know his voice was losing its force and power. i know this just comes with age, and for his age, hes still damn good in my opinion.
You can already hear the tiredness in his 91 voice. 84-87 was his best Thrash voice simply because it was so "harsh", his screams were vicious and raw, his 88-89 voice was fantastic too.
@@ohgoditsjames94 I never liked his voice live in the first era, out of tune and many times with that forced sound typical of singers that try to match the agressiveness of the music without actually hearing themselves (probably shitty stage gear)
The strongest jame's voice was obviously between 89-91 but something about his voice in kill em all just so good i don't know why but i like his voice in kill em all over any other album
1983 to 1985 is good 1986 and 187 very good 1988 awesome 1989-1991 best Hetfield's voice 1993 grit lost 1994 to 2000 low and weak 2001 to 2006 weak but is improving 2007 to 2015 a little grit returned...
Matteo Vitali I'll agree up to 1993. He had some here and there on Live Shit and definitely Load and ReLoad. The grit died during the S&M/St. Anger era. He can turn it on and off. Just listen to him intro Sad But True when he does the "happy tune/heavy song" intro.
Matteo Vitali Just because he doesn't sing with distortion, doesn't mean his voice is "weak". I admit, I prefer the Hetfield growl from the earlier albums, but his actual singing is way better on albums like Load and even St. Anger has some great stuff on it.
I like him everyway! yes, in 83,86,88 he's voice is thin, higher coz he's younger, but what 92' and 93' is not super ?! come on, in San Diego and Mexico he sounds so special- like the nice metal voice of James :) ,in his style, so heavy, so wild..also than...come you screaming and singing 30 years at so many concerts and than let hear if your voice didnt change:)) but James is James, he 's amazing musician !
1988 - 1993 were peak years for his voice. He had learned the full control and range of his vocals by this time and put a ton of power into his vocals which just put everything over the top. Rarely between 94-98 would he even try to put out that kind of grit in his vocals and instead went for the soft way of hitting the notes
Toronto 1986 I believe was only a couple weeks after cliffs death, and it was the fastest and most aggressive live video I’ve ever seen, given it was recorded on a rotting potato.
'91 by far was his best year, he learned how to mi his power vox with clear vox... Shame hi drank too much cold beers... false he lost his voice during the recording of So what, song.
Alot of people say that 1989 or 1991 were his best years in reference to him singing this song, but if he sung like that back in 1985 or 1986 it wouldn't have synced in with the way they were playing it instrumentally back then and the sounds they were getting from their instruments. All that has to be taken into account.
The drop off from 93 to 94 is nutty... Crazy how his voice regressed that much in just a year. Unless 94 was the first year he decided he needed to change the way he sings or else hes gonna do even more more damage. I've tried to sing like him with that grit and my voice hurts pretty fast, I also feel the need to cough when I do it. Ive also noticed he spits alot during concerts, probably a result of his singing style. Crazy how he did it for so many years with that much control of his notes.
Strongpoint100 It's mostly the same until the '94 version, then he changes the melody from start to finish. Goes from being a minor to a major for some fucking reason. Can't for my life figure out why because it sounds really weird.
James voice was at its peek between 88-93. BUT I do like how his voice sounded in the early years it was so raw and filled with angst. His voice changed around 94 but I think his voice STILL sounded good live from like 94-2000 after that his voice became complete shit live.
You can already hear the tiredness in his 91 voice. 84-87 was his best Thrash voice simply because it was so "harsh", his screams were vicious and raw, his 88-89 voice was fantastic too. Compare the 85 disposable heroes to 93, the 93 version is awful, he can hardly pull of the first few lines.
Since Jason doesnt help James out to sing last Part of creeping death his voice is enough to finish the Song or Even a hole Concert. So since early 2000 James' voice Is getting worther and worther....
loved him in the 8os, straight into the 90s but then he lost that force, in 1991 moscow was awsume loved him then he was rocking at that concert, but no matter what he sings now, I still have my memory of one of the best fronth man ever to grace the stage....
His voice hasn't really changed drastically since 2003. The biggest change IMO is from 93-94 where he began five-six years of "Cowboy-singing" and 99-03. It has defiantly changed over the years, but listening to this video shows that his voice hasn't changed as much as people are actually saying. My favorite was 83.
"so let it be written so let it be done
to kill the first born pharao's son"

well since 1997 the lyrics are just .... " Sing it " !!! XDDD
Actually its from 1993 when he started doing that
Su let be ritta su let be dàáàaaa im sengin ba di chosen uuaaaaa
Kinda like that other big song of there's where the only lyrics I remember is "are you alive? Yaaaa, show me"
sing it man
I bet you James still has it he just does not want to hurt himself
you're actually right

strat458796 It was on "So what" during a cover in 1992.
Oh yeah, that's right. Thank you
i hate how people only praise only seattle 1989. all of the concerts from 1988-1992 are godlike
+Infinity YUP MAN. AS FOR ME I LOVE HET'S VOICE OF LOAD-RELOAD\GARAGE ACTION - DAT WAS GENIUS
+Infinity Also there are a couple of gigs in 1993-1994 with awesome vocal.
his voice of 89 is overrated, that audio is just the loudest of them all
lucky dominguez
louder than death magnetic lol
I'd say closer to every concert 84-93 were damn near perfect vocal-wise.....late 80s had his perfect diabolical voice though
1988-1992 his voice was just on another level
1993 too
2:46 its like his 80s voice came back for a millisecond
Your right, it's like it wants to come out but he wont let it
@@adriang2332 he cant let it because it will fuck up his voice
You're right! And after he sang that part, he lowered his voice a little bit, james just did it for a minute xd
seattle 1989 is fucking best!
+ScKeaneJR na 1985 and 86
+ScKeaneJR It so is
nah moscow 91 is far more epic...
Moskow and San Diego
i don't know why but metallica had many different james'
81-84: kid becoming a man
85-87:damn that guy has nuts
88-92: he's like: be with us or get blown away by me=> voice peak
93-96: he lost his voice
97-99: mature metal god (sry but his s&m voice is the best after the justice era)
2000-2006: damn i'm sich of that shit
from 2006 on: I still got the balls to have that old voice but i'm just too lazy....
everytime he changed his appearance completely, his voice changed: justice=> bearded=> voice like a lions roar
load-sm => dark hair/shorter hair : mature voice
you could hate his voice
but there's one thing no hater will ever change:
Hetfield has the voice fitting for metallica, the voice for bringing feeling out of his mind into our minds.
And the fucking voice to scream the shit out of that hipster bastards.
He reached all a musician could reach. And that's the fact he should be honored for. He makes mistakes
he's just a human as we all are!!!!
+Dennis Nebel you haven't heard his 1996 voice , have you ? it's the closest one to 91 voice.
+Yeah it's close but he has blown out his best voice during the tour between 91-93 from 93 on you can hear that his voice is getting lost

Olsun
1993
He was doing that in the 90s
3:38 XD He's like "you sing it!" But that time it sounded more like, "you sing it! I'm sick of this shit."
haha.
Understandable if he has sung it a few thousand times before. I'd get sick of it after about a week.
"You sing it" (while I let my throat rest)
1991 Was the strongest Jame's voice, 89 was the best sound quiality.
Nahh, they played it slower
I don't talk about the speed :p

"SING IT!"
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh"
Live his 89 performance is unparalleled, perfectly balanced agressiveness and in tune
1983 to 1985 is good
1986 and 187 very good
1988 awesome
1989-1991 best Hetfield's voice
1993 grit lost
1994 to 2000 low and weak
2001 to 2006 weak but is improving
2007 to 2015 a little grit returned...

+Matteo Vitali he had so much grit in 2007
+ Matteo Vitali No, he lost voice after Live Shit at Mexico, had problems during 1994-1995 period, but 1996-2000 period was awesome
The second “So let it be done!” in the 1991 clip was eargasmic! The best one in this video
85 his voice is out of this world.
I like him everyway! yes, in 83,86,88 he's voice is thin, higher coz he's younger, but what 92' and 93' is not super ?! come on, in San Diego and Mexico he sounds so special- like the nice metal voice of James :) ,in his style, so heavy, so wild..also than...come you screaming and singing 30 years at so many concerts and than let hear if your voice didnt change:)) but James is James, he 's amazing musician !

the first time played he said "i'm gently by the chosen one" o.O
89 was his best year IMO.
Seattle. by far, the best!
Seatlle 89, Moscow 91, San Diego 92 and Mexico City 93 The best voice of James
Then we have Woodstock 99 and Cunning Stunts 97 as the second best versions.
i think it's getting better by the time
it took 3 hours, lots of downloaded and explored audios and win live studio :D
i like the 85-88 and early 89 versions the best because then he SCREAMS "HAIL TO FIIIYAAAAAAAAAA"
All of them are the Best!

James Hetfield Vocals Evolution in Creeping Death
✅

For me , 89 - 92 were the best
James voice was definitely at its best point in the late 80's and early 90's ....
I hate how from like 93 onward James sings the chorus in major rather than minor. I cant be the only one who hates this
@Hans Von Heckle lmao
Now that you mention it.
1989 and 1991 SOUNDS LIKE EXPLOSIVE MONSTER!!!!
his voice in 99' is lit
when he makes the crowd sing that was the time that his voice changed.
'91 by far was his best year, he learned how to mi his power vox with clear vox... Shame hi drank too much cold beers... false he lost his voice during the recording of So what, song.
He started to find his voice in 1985, '91 was the best though.
Seattle 89 rules, can anyone send me the 1985 germany concert ?
METALLICA (1985 St. Goarshausen)[FULL-PRO]
thank you very much ;P
+Max Kotov i can't play it
Seattle 89 is in my opinion their best performance
My favorite voice is in between 1996-2000. He learned to sing and to growl. And he sounded so brutal.
This one's actually quite interesting. You can really hear how it's really the same guy... but how it develops over the years.

1983,1989 and 1991 best vocal years in my opinion

I love old vocals though which are priceless and cannot be heard now :/
like half half way through this video it becomes 'Audiences Vocal Changes in Creeping Death'
1989 is the best
85 is the best
Moscow 91.....harvester of sorrow ...best vocals ever
It not only fun, to hear, how James' voice changed.. But also the tempo of the song. !!!
1986___87___88___89.
The young beast year of Papa Hetfield .💙🤘
87 at gothenburg!!! fucking loved their presence then.. especially the vocals
anyone else noticed that he only sings it like it is on the album from 1983 to 1987?
Strongpoint100 It's mostly the same until the '94 version, then he changes the melody from start to finish. Goes from being a minor to a major for some fucking reason. Can't for my life figure out why because it sounds really weird.
Good James Hetfield voice Vocal Change from 1983 to 2023
Moscow 1991....miss you old metallica.
nobody:
1997 James: SING IT BAYBEHHH
'91 was the best.
now i notice that the guitar distortion has also changed, it sounds softer, less aggressive
James Voice is Awesome
Sweet video, it's cool to hear how vocals mature over time! I like 1989 the best, It sounds closest to the record for a live show imo.
early 90's is best, the moscow gig
He sounds louder and less shy now, but you're right.
"so what" was recorded for the Japan edition of the black album. So it was during the black album recodring session.
Lyrics went from "So let it be writtaaaahn, so let it be daaaahn" to "so let it be writtuuhn, so let it be duuuhnn" around black album lmao
93 is the best that's when I was born good video dude

You can already hear the tiredness in his 91 voice. 84-87 was his best Thrash voice simply because it was so "harsh", his screams were vicious and raw, his 88-89 voice was fantastic too. Compare the 85 disposable heroes to 93, the 93 version is awful, he can hardly pull of the first few lines.
James after the vocal lessons became a monster
His voice absolutely did change a lot in the song Called Creeping Death by Metallica
Insanely powerful voice from mid 80's to mid 90's
89 heroic
Until 1986, James more imitated NWOBHM-singers, but later developed his own style of singing, imo
Is it just me or is my ears just like it better when Jason sings it
From 1985- 1993 was the best but from 1985- 1989 was the best, 1989 was just great!
What?
Did you have a stroke while writing this comment?
His voice matured to embody greatness !
Wow...I have to say 2012 and 85 are my favorites
is it me of does james vocals get more awsome every year
Hetfield has really perfect and clear vocal nowadays but it has no power. There is no agression in it like few years ago. Btw great video! :D
Is it just me or the music tone had more low in 1987 than in recording?
Yeah his voice in 98' and 99' was fucking badass
As a young kid I thought it was “so let me retire”.
This song is their 2nd most played song live. And for a reason! This song is one of their best!
Since Jason doesnt help James out to sing last Part of creeping death his voice is enough to finish the Song or Even a hole Concert. So since early 2000 James' voice Is getting worther and worther....
1991, no question
loved him in the 8os, straight into the 90s but then he lost that force, in 1991 moscow was awsume loved him then he was rocking at that concert, but no matter what he sings now, I still have my memory of one of the best fronth man ever to grace the stage....
You should rename this: Crowd participation changes throughout the years... since I hear more of them in most of this video. ;)
In 89 was when his voice had obtained that might sound.
I think his voice was its best from 88-92
His voice hasn't really changed drastically since 2003. The biggest change IMO is from 93-94 where he began five-six years of "Cowboy-singing" and 99-03. It has defiantly changed over the years, but listening to this video shows that his voice hasn't changed as much as people are actually saying.
My favorite was 83.
the 89' concert was epicccccc guys
1989 and 1991 very good..
85' 86' Holy fuck, that's fast.
Since 1993 - You sing it! :D
My favourites are 89 and 91 these are the best
that was when rtl was released, most songs are written before the album is released
89,91 and early 2013 (even though it's not in this video) are my favorites.
We need to fight fire with fire with James Vocals.
Toronto 1986 sounded the best in my opinion.
toss up of that and germany
1994 that year the Hetfield's voice began to fade off, cleary.
Sir James Hetfield. My Idol. Enough said.
