According to Brian, the royalties that he receives from the DIAMOND HEAD back catalog, including the METALLICA recordings of his songs, are enough for him to live on. "It's my biggest source of income," he revealed in a 2019 interview. "It's great and I don't know what I would do without it. It gives me the freedom to do what I like. I'm very grateful."
I mean, I don't really get it. You can make just about any riff sound heavy if you play a bunch of low E palm mutes or power chord palm mutes. This isn't exactly an achievement.
People can say what they want about Metallica but we should all be grateful they are still together and still touring. Because the day will come when they'll play their final show
hopefully never, Metallica is the best metal band ever, and yeah, they invented it, it's theirs, yeah sabbath had the guitar sound but Metallica really invented full on metal, esp with kill em all, the speed was never done before that.
@@creamwobbly Which one are you thinking about? On the Garage Inc., they all seem pretty solid to me, even if some people complains about the 1988/1992 covers not being produced, or being barely produced (The Prince, Breadfan, etc...) and the Motorhead cover being recorded live which means far from the studio quality. The 3 covers they made that ended up on the HTSD deluxe edition are amazing as far as I am concerned (and still astonished they never played live two of those). The Ennio Morricone tribute they made in 2007 of the Ecstasy of Gold is fantastic. The only ones that can be debatable are probably the Ramones covers they made during the St Anger period (some of them are OK, but some are horrible), and that acoustic version of Alice in Chain's Would? they recorded alongside with the Blackened 2020 is also quite debatable for it doesn't brings justice to this amazing song.
Yep, Its a godsend that he decided to get vocal lessons back in '93 because otherwise he would have lost his voice forever. Some people bother me when they start complaining about why he cant yell and shout like he used to, but they should be thinking about if they'd rather have Metallica still around or no Metallica at all. Because if he had continued to blow his voice to shreds, Metallica would have been cooked
His best since the late 90s, 80’s can’t be touched. And through no fault of his own. Can’t expect him to sound like Seattle 89 when he’s 60 years old. He sounds amazing though!
The stage setup is crazy - a combo of the Death Magnetic and M72 stages. And everyone just seems happy in this video. I'm glad this band is still going after everything they've been through.
Tatler played the shit outta that! Everyone was great! I especially loved when all three guitars came together for that chug in unison after the intro! Talk about THICK n HEAVY! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@TheFerry7791 They have come to my mind, late. Even so, the Big 4 hasn't played the full version. In '98, in 2021 and in 2022, yes, there are several records. I hope they do it in Argentina 😂.
Fantastic song and a top concert in Oslo 2024. The first time I saw Metallica was back in 1986 in Skedsmohallen, Norway. On bass was Cliff Burton, I shook his hand that night. 2 days later he was gone. RIP ❤️ 🤘
Wow! This song means so much for me.. About 15 years ago when I studied drums playing in the Russian outback, me and two young guitarists chose this song to play as a part of exam after our learning. We spent hours playing only this song again and again until we managed to perform something alike - simplified, but still driving the people in front of the stage (our friends mostly) go slam. It was my first public performanse on drums and this moment and this song I will never forget. Unfortunatelly, after the years I can't event go back to Russia to see my friends and parents as Putin attacked Ukraine and I'm against it so can be jailed for years. But thank you, Metallica for that cover, thank you Brian Tatler and Diamond Head for the song! I would be so happy to watch this live, but I visited Metallica show in Madrid. Thanks PR managers for uploading this record!
8:28 - That genuine smile is what this is all about! Without it, they wouldn't be around today. The love for what you do drives the world! Thank you, James, thank you, Brian, and thank you, Metallica!
June 26th, 24, the day my dad died at the age of 62... we played some songs of Metallica at his funeral, I miss you dad, wherever you are, I hopefully see you sooner or later.
One of the best things about Metallica is that they are still--after all their success and all their fame--genuinely, star-struck fans over the people that inspired them.
I can tell on Kirk's face at 7:20 that he probably thought something like: "Damn, it's about time we play the full version of this song!" and that he really enjoyed it.
Man I love seeing them have fun. So many good memories growing up with these guys at all the shows and all the hours listening throughout all the phases of my youth. Man I’m 40 in just a couple weeks. Flying by
What a solo! Literally I cried, this song is my adolescence, I can remember me playing Guitar hero Metallica and playing this solo in expert a lot of times.
Since Metallica went full digital amps when playing live, it´s a rare sight to see amps on stage. I guess Brian Tatler really loves those Marshalls lol
Played the full song? Oh Yeah! Best part of all, they really look like they're having a blast in each other's company on stage. I now feel the need to jamm on this song with my bandmates - yup. It's that inspiring. Thank you Brian and thank you Metallica!
I grew up listening to these bands. Saw them in their opening act for other bands stage. It was an awesome time. That people realize the quality of the music now is awesome.
Same here 😁 felt extra blessed when he started talking about Diamonhead and "a song we havent played in a long time"!! My neck is still sore from the headbanging 😂
You can see how Brian's presence makes the whole band give it their all. Especially James seems to get excited and you can hear how he's putting extra energy into the vocals
The very end with Lars and James killed me. I love Lars but as a musician myself i can relate and understand the underlying humor in it when someone fumbles. I love how they played on that a little bit. Us musicians take our talents seriosuly however on stage you cannot be TOO serious.. mistakes happen. You keep playing no matter what then make a joke about it later on. We are only human. What an honor that must of been for Metallica to have Brian join them on stage. Great performance.
@@jorgeG1349 let’s say he was extra excited 😆 😂 Believe You Me when I first started watching the video I was praying “Lars please do not fucked it up” 😂😂
@@totallycashed9656 I prefer he makes such a genuine mistake, same as Kirk often does on Nothing Else Matters...than to play on backing track. Nothing wrong with that :)

“One of the heaviest riffs ever written. Thank you for that, Brian.” Our sentiments exactly!
Totally underrated, definitely not Sabbath this was something else
I think you can hear a tad bit of sabbath in this but you can tell that Slayer might have listened to this song as well...^^
facts
in sabbath bloody sabbath there is the heaviest riff ever.. in the middle of the tune... we can't miss it ! 😉🤘😝🤘
I mean, I don't really get it. You can make just about any riff sound heavy if you play a bunch of low E palm mutes or power chord palm mutes. This isn't exactly an achievement.
And how cool is it that Tatler gets to play his song in front of such a huge crowd?

Totally agree, the short version is always kind of a bummer, this kicks ass
Cant believe it
yes full version with the proper solo
When was the last time they played the full version of this song?
This is even longer than the recorded version. Did they add part of Four Horsemen to it?
Brian Tatler - he deserves so much more credit. A solo that literally makes you cry. Thanks Brian, you're a guitar god. Take care.
AND IMO the prince is even better than this song, so is sucking my love, that solo is as evil as it gets.
