When she sang Say Hello to Heaven at the Chris Cornell tribute show you can actually see and hear the audience switch from "Why the fuck is she here" to "This is fucking awesome"
It was incredible watching the Chris Cornell tribute show, and how the crowd turned from questioning what she was doing there, to buying in to every word she was singing. Absolute Rock Theatre 🤙
I had a similar thought, she has an amazing voice and tons of control. Funnily enough I thought she and Miguel did the best jobs at the Cornell Tribute. It felt like the 'rock' singers were really struggling or just trying to yell their way through and the 'pop' singer had way more control and power.
Miley Cyrus is a seriously professional artist. She isn’t just riding Metallica’s coattails here. She is bringing something impressive to this collaboration. She doesn’t just dip a toe into other genres, she does the work and seems to understand what those genres are all about. Celebrate the idea of expanding your horizons. Thanks as always Justin.
When I was a teen and through my 20's James 'the rockstar' was my hero for his music, now in my 40's James 'the man' is my inspiration for the way he deals with his abuse issues. Your story about him offering you help made me tear-up!
Love Miley. Her voice is fantastic, she isn’t afraid to take the piss out of her self and she has a great taste in music. If she was good enough for soundgarden to join them on stage at the Chris Cornell tribute show, she’s good enough for me.
She did a good job with Billy Idol on Rebel Yell (Live iHeartRadio Music Festival 2016). Billy Idol, Metallica - how about Miley sings a song with The Darkness!
I’m sure you’ve seen her cover of “ Take it to the limit “ it is phenomenal , proper goosebump material. She is an extremely versatile singer who I personally rate extremely highly, and I’m a huge rock fan , going to see Nashville Pussy tonight for example.
Well that story of James Hetfield looking out for a younger rock start that he was worried about the behaviour is pretty heartwarming actually. No doubt this song f*n rocked.
I was always tolerant of Miley's detours into the rock catalogs of other artists...like Billy Idol and Metallica. Then I realized...she has a brilliant voice in need of rock expression. Anyhoo...Her new live album ATTENTION: Miley Live is a thrill to listen to...exhilarating from beginning to end. Goosebumps when she fills up the sonic cradles created by the brilliant backing vocals. Have a listen!
@@Stevenirons Stop trying to be such a pretentious asshole. Everyone knows that she sounds absolutely brilliant, sorry you can't bring yourself to admit it.
No. No it is not. Debbie Harry can sing. Miley's voice is courtesy of Auto-Tune and Disney magic. She sucks! I would put up Blondie and Joan Jett on their worst days up to Miley's best days! Even now that Debbie and Joan being in their 60's, still have a better voice than Miley. Joan and Debbie forgot more about singing than Miley will ever (never) know.
Miley really knocks this one out of the park. Very well done. On another level, love your show Justin. I saw the Darkness in my hometown Den Bosch in 2003. It kicked so much arse!
I’ve worked on several tours with Miley. She’s absolutely quality. And every show I’ve ever been involved with Metallica, they’ve nailed it. Two titans of the industry chaps.
Miley is an amazing rock/heavy metal singer. Her singing White Wedding with Billy Idol is absolutely fantastic. Speaking of child actresses, I'd love to see you reacting to The Pretty Reckless, too.
So many good Miley covers but I love the tiny desk set she did in a cowboy hat, Mazzy Star’s song Fade Into You done in her rock growl will stab your very soul!
Miley has a rock and roll heart. I love her voice and think she's amazing. You're right....her past as a child actor is irrelevant. What " matters" is that she continues to reinvent great songs while staying true to herself as an artist.
Thanks for your insight Justin! While I'm not sure I am as "in love" with Miley's voice as you are, the thing I have always admired about her is her fierce independence. It seems that ever since she came of age, she has done EXACTLY what she wanted to do, nevermind the critics. That is a quality that is worthy of deep admiration In my book. Cheers! Love the haircut by the way. You Rock it.💜
The thing you gotta remember about a lot of rock fans is we're losers lmao. We grow up feeling like outcasts etc. So we kind of just have this disdain for anything popular that the "normal kids" like. As I became an adult it became so obvious to me that I hated so much music for literally no reason other than it was what people liked at the time. Miley Cyrus is the perfect example of this. Her father was a famous musician who grew up in the 70s and 80s, you don't think he played rock music around her growing up? She clearly has a genuine love for bands like Metallica, Zeppelin, etc. But because she was Hannah Montana and the girl who twerked at some awards show a certain type of rock fan who never grew up will still hate on her for no reason. She is a decent singer and is a fan of this music. Enough said. There's no reason for anyone to be embarrassed because they played with her.
Could have expressed it better myself....."fucking awesome". If music is meant to evoke a reaction or emotion, then this performance has achieved both. I've listened to it over and over as it's THAT GOOD, it never fails in it's job. Thankyou Justin. Liking you more with every video I watch. Much respect from Melbourne Australia. 💙🌏🙏
I've watched a great deal of the "Justin Reacts" videos and I can't believe people would submit this performance expecting any serious negative criticism. The talent exuded in that 1 song is mind blowing, especially from Miley.
Singers are talented enough to sing many types of songs adeptly, this is not a watershed moment in history, half the kareoke sings worldwide could do just as well if not better.
Prince taught me a long, long time ago that artists enjoying different genres is fantastic for them, even if a subset of fans of those various music categories vehemently object as old-fashioned gatekeepers. Thanks for the thought-provoking commentary.
I heard this about a year after I heard her sing Jolene. Both performances were incredible. Totally changed my option of her singing ability. This is an incredible performance & is up there as one of my favourite performances. And I hate covers & don’t listen to Metallica.
My friends laugh when I argue that Miley Cyrus has the most dynamic voice of our generation. She's just on a different level to everyone else. Thanks for covering this one Justin
Metallica have reached a level of success where they can do what ever the hell they want, and if they want to do a duet with a pop icon then why the hell not? I've been a fan of Metallica since the 80's before they had a high degree of commercial success, back then they were heavy as fuck, by the time they released the black album there were bands who were faster, and heavier, and more technical then they would ever be, but they did what they wanted, and released an amazing commercially successful metal album, which by the way still had some really heavy shit on it (sad but true, struggle within come to mind). I liked the duet, and I think Miley is genuine fan and is coming from a sincere place. Hell I think she'd make a cool metal vocalist.
1. I agree, the Black Album was widely seen as a move towards mainstream with two ballads on it. 2. What you do as a kid should never matter, but I don't like what she did as a young adult performer. 3. Crossovers can reveal real diamonds you didn't know of before, in both directions (e.g., Let's Dance). So sure, give her a chance.
What’s the best way to watch Justin Hawkins Rides Again? My way is to build up a nice a backlog and then have a good binge. So enjoyable and insightful - love it 👊 Another great video, I agree Miley has an incredible voice!
Miley is a Headbanger to the core if you watch some of her shows. I actually could not stand her until i watched a few of her live shows here on youtube. her vocal capacity is unbelievable and i have seen this particular video several times and she definitely nails it. glad you mentioned Stevie Nicks as she has done several duos with her also.
Hi Justin, loving the show, new watcher, first time commenter. Love the analysis, firm but opinionated! Not passive aggressive sarcasm I promise, rather genuine appreciation for the playful opinion, delivered in a comedic style. Comments sections can be the twitter of life, leading to tribalism. However, we are in the fledgling era of our internet. It's childhood if you will. We're drawn to things that please us, and dubious/ afraid of that which challenges our comfort. We need guidance and love to see us through to the next phase intact. Playful banter such as that you deliver, is already helping us back to being able to discuss our differences in a non-cynical discourse, which allows the most important organ to re-engage during social intercourse, our ears, and the pathways to reason and mutual understanding within us. I have new found insight of your own musical prowess and intuition through these clips, and respect the grounding of your comments. Whilst I don't agree with every utterance, we are basically on the same page in that all music has a place but rock well... ROCKS! Only minor off putting aspect to these videos is the constant bombarding from the "still struggling to master the Guitar" brigade advertisements, and their pyramid "I'll make you a competent player in weeks" schemes (which I have to admit play to the insecurities of plinky plonker never had the discipline to practice properly "guitarist" like myself). With their "listen till the end of my video of half an hour-40mins (or whatever the algorithm for you tube requires for them to make money) before I'll reveal the secret to effortless rock godship, along with the cost". The actual secret being (spoiler alert!) find something you like then learn it. Hey Ho I'll keep plonking and live vicariously through my many children. Much love
Miley is a vocal beast. Once I heard her cover Janis's version of 'Maybe' and Blondie's Heart of Glass, I was a jaw dropping fan. This performance cemented it. She's phenomenal. I love Metallica and she nailed it.
It was a rocking start to a show back in 2004 and the Darkness in full swing when my band mate and I decided this would be a great time to throw our CD on stage in the hope one of the band or crew would pick it up! With a powerful flick of the wrist the CD wizzed over the Wembley crowd and almost took Dan out, subsequently the crowd parted and we were pulled by our scruffs and ejected from the show…..oops! Gutted! Only three songs in too. But those three songs were eventful. I did manage to see the whole show at the Camden Roundhouse many years later. Bloody great stuff!
I would love to hear a whole collaborative album with Metallica and Miley. I think her voice is perfect for rock now as demonstrated here. Plus, it has to be better than Lulu. Which I actually kind of like.
I stumbled across Miley performing in the Backyard sessions on TH-cam, the videos were before her party girl image came about and she was very young, but ever since then I've vouched for her as a musician
I remember for the longest time not giving her any credence. Then my daughter started listening to her and showed me her singing with the Doors and many other stuff outside of her normal stuff, and I now firmly believe she is one of the best vocal talents of her generation.
Hey Justin. Maybe you could do a post on musicians and hearing issues such as tinnitus. Something that unfortunately plagues a lot of people. Musicians especially. Just an idea. Keep up the good work 👍
As someone who's liked Miley Cyrus since I worked in a movie theatre and happened to spend an evening waiting for my ride home to show up by watching the hannah montana movie and subsequently finding Miley's amazing singing voice through The Climb and then checking out her early albums before ignoring her "R&B" phase entirely. I'm pretty happy she's returned to her country and rock roots and hope she continues to do so. Her early biography book (Miles to Go) before she did all that rap stuff was also a particularly inspiring read for a young impressionable youth. As a fan of metallica it's great to see the duet. It reminds me of Babymetal and Rob Zombie's defense of them when people tried to say they weren't metal; good music is good music.
I think that having been a child actor- let alone having a performer as a father- probably helped her get thru the right doors and become famous, but the success she's had is on her!!
Somehow, from a random suggestion, this has become my favourite channel.. it’s just so engaging and refreshing in amongst the bullshit we have to listen to nowadays. Nothing else matters was the first dance at our wedding and we have the lyrics are displayed on the wall in our downstairs toilet. I’m no sure about this version but I love Steve and the seagulls version. Not sure if you reviewed them yet, if not, please do.
1) Now I would like to hear your cover of this song 2) yes I agree with those mentioning her version of Jolene 3) there's often someone playing this down the Piccadilly Circus tube stop and that's one of the best moments to experience in London any time of the day
I can’t believe all the stick Miley got for this, I’m 100% with you Justin, she knocked it out the park, and her voice suited it perfectly. Screw the haters! 🤣
Definatly a great rock colaboration. Mylie sounds very blusy, deep and amazing on this. She did lift the song with her vocals. Nice review Justin the Hawkman.
I'll get slated for this, but here goes.....Rock/Punk (for me) has to have authenticity, it's not about having a great voice or wankathon guitar skills, it's about living or have lived what you're performing. Imperfections have a quality of their own. Manufactured, groomed, xfactor type performers will never have that.
This Miley version was mine and my husbands first dance at our wedding last year, we had no shame - it’s awesome 🖤🤘🏼we have Elton John to thank for this version, it’s on his latest album of duets / collaborations.
She performed "Zombie" by the Cranberries at the whisky a go go last year. You should check that out! She absolutely smashes it! Her voice is made for Rock. I can't stand her poppy stuff but boy does she nail Rock. If she wanted to be a rockstar she could do so easily!
I’d highly recommend checking out a guy called Todd in the Shadows. He does two excellent series - ‘one hit wonderland,’ and ‘trainwreckords.’ He actually covered the Darkness in the former series and sung your praises.
Miley’s got a lower range than most pop “starlets” and genuinely sounds best over rock instrumentals (her last album had a Billy Idol collaboration, plus a very Stevie Nicks / Joan Jet bent. Hope she continues down this path
During lock-down Miley did covers of famous songs on her You-Tube channel, she always picked songs with mega vocals from different genres, and she was amazing. She has damaged her vocal chords by being overworked by the machine when she was young, that's why her voice is lower now and more gritty, sounds perfect for rock tho'
@@bigboxerable eh ? ……sorry but you must have hearing difficulties 🤷♂️ even Debbie Harry acknowledged how good it was… that’s presuming you know who Debbie Harry is ?
@@davidhill9375 I really like Miley Cyrus, and she can sing a balls-out rock song like no one at the moment. She’s great. But Heart of Glass is an untouchable classic pop/disco sung to smooth perfection by Debbie, and Miley really needed to keep her balls-out rock and roll away from it - in my humble opinion of course (but I am right)!
I love metal and I love Metallica and I thought that this was an absolutely amazing performance. I absolutely loved it and loved her vocal performance.

She did a good job with Billy Idol on Rebel Yell (Live iHeartRadio Music Festival 2016).

Fantastic. If you haven't seen it, Miley covering Mazzy Star in her Tiny Desk performance is one of my favorite things ever.
Another Miley vid I gotta look up: With Joan Jett, Dave Grohl, Billy Idol... Dang, Miley! Girl you are a rocker!
I love you Justin! You are always so fair, kind, but always with a twinkle of humour sprinkled through. Brilliant to listen to!

My wife asked me….. “Why do you keep saying, “Good day to you”……. I told her it was because of the greatness that is Justin Hawkins
😂😂😂
Her singing of “Say Hello To Heaven” for the Chris Cornell tribute concert is what made me a fan.
This!! go watch it she stepped up and nailed it with respect.
Some of the crowd were laughing at her ! For about 30 seconds she is rock n roll
ah bless
There was an audible gasp when she came out, but yeah she was great.
Absoulte face turn. Incredible to watch the crowd and an amazing performance

I agree, she actually added something to an already storming track! 👌 👏 👏
It was a rocking start to a show back in 2004 and the Darkness in full swing when my band mate and I decided this would be a great time to throw our CD on stage in the hope one of the band or crew would pick it up! With a powerful flick of the wrist the CD wizzed over the Wembley crowd and almost took Dan out, subsequently the crowd parted and we were pulled by our scruffs and ejected from the show…..oops! Gutted! Only three songs in too. But those three songs were eventful. I did manage to see the whole show at the Camden Roundhouse many years later. Bloody great stuff!
Best one yet Justin, really enjoyed that cheers muchly.
I would love to hear a whole collaborative album with Metallica and Miley. I think her voice is perfect for rock now as demonstrated here. Plus, it has to be better than Lulu.
Which I actually kind of like.
I've got mad respect for Lulu.
A ballsy collaboration with a great artist, Lou Reed. (Even if I only listened to it once 😝)
Love your takes, Justin! Peace from Vancouver WA…
Miley was channeling Pat Benitar from the start. She is already a rock star in my book.
Lame
I’ve hummed and sang your theme for days now. A true worm. Love this channel.
Miley and Billy Idol rocked rebel yell live, check it out, check out her cover of Zombie by the cranberries too, epic stuff. She's got a great voice.
I stumbled across Miley performing in the Backyard sessions on TH-cam, the videos were before her party girl image came about and she was very young, but ever since then I've vouched for her as a musician
I remember for the longest time not giving her any credence. Then my daughter started listening to her and showed me her singing with the Doors and many other stuff outside of her normal stuff, and I now firmly believe she is one of the best vocal talents of her generation.
Hey Justin. Maybe you could do a post on musicians and hearing issues such as tinnitus. Something that unfortunately plagues a lot of people. Musicians especially. Just an idea. Keep up the good work 👍
I think she has a great rock voice. I'd like to hear her do more with rock and metal artists
She's been doing rock for some time now
i was at that show in 2003 when you guys opened for Metallica in Ireland. great show, Linkin Park really got heckled that day
It really did work didn’t it, she has a really good rock voice
As someone who's liked Miley Cyrus since I worked in a movie theatre and happened to spend an evening waiting for my ride home to show up by watching the hannah montana movie and subsequently finding Miley's amazing singing voice through The Climb and then checking out her early albums before ignoring her "R&B" phase entirely. I'm pretty happy she's returned to her country and rock roots and hope she continues to do so. Her early biography book (Miles to Go) before she did all that rap stuff was also a particularly inspiring read for a young impressionable youth. As a fan of metallica it's great to see the duet. It reminds me of Babymetal and Rob Zombie's defense of them when people tried to say they weren't metal; good music is good music.
I think that having been a child actor- let alone having a performer as a father- probably helped her get thru the right doors and become famous, but the success she's had is on her!!
Her duet with Billy Idol doing Rebel Yell....effin awesome 👍🏻
Solely on vocal range and her canny ability to keep herself in the public consciousness, she is upper tier...a rara avis. 😉😁🖤
Hawkins fan. Music fan. Even a Miley fan. Love that you speak from truth’s perspective sans juvenile biases.
My Hawkins fandom yet grows.
\m/
I agree. Miley is an amazing vocalist and as of late she clearly has great taste in music.
Somehow, from a random suggestion, this has become my favourite channel.. it’s just so engaging and refreshing in amongst the bullshit we have to listen to nowadays. Nothing else matters was the first dance at our wedding and we have the lyrics are displayed on the wall in our downstairs toilet. I’m no sure about this version but I love Steve and the seagulls version. Not sure if you reviewed them yet, if not, please do.
1) Now I would like to hear your cover of this song 2) yes I agree with those mentioning her version of Jolene 3) there's often someone playing this down the Piccadilly Circus tube stop and that's one of the best moments to experience in London any time of the day
I can’t believe all the stick Miley got for this, I’m 100% with you Justin, she knocked it out the park, and her voice suited it perfectly. Screw the haters! 🤣
Because Metal fans are the ultimate gatekeepers......
Definatly a great rock colaboration. Mylie sounds very blusy, deep and amazing on this. She did lift the song with her vocals. Nice review Justin the Hawkman.
I'll get slated for this, but here goes.....Rock/Punk (for me) has to have authenticity, it's not about having a great voice or wankathon guitar skills, it's about living or have lived what you're performing. Imperfections have a quality of their own. Manufactured, groomed, xfactor type performers will never have that.
That is so awesome about James offering help
This Miley version was mine and my husbands first dance at our wedding last year, we had no shame - it’s awesome 🖤🤘🏼we have Elton John to thank for this version, it’s on his latest album of duets / collaborations.
She performed "Zombie" by the Cranberries at the whisky a go go last year. You should check that out! She absolutely smashes it! Her voice is made for Rock. I can't stand her poppy stuff but boy does she nail Rock. If she wanted to be a rockstar she could do so easily!
The only question about Miley is whether she’s taking care of her vocal cords.
Yes she is.
Justin, your musings are so delightful and reasoned through your vast experience. Thanks for sharing.
She sounds great so I see no issue with it. Metallica are legends, always.
100% agree, don't care what else she's done. Super powerful performance!
I’d highly recommend checking out a guy called Todd in the Shadows. He does two excellent series - ‘one hit wonderland,’ and ‘trainwreckords.’ He actually covered the Darkness in the former series and sung your praises.
This channel always reminds me of that channel. Don’t know that Justin’s interested in watching a video revisiting the past though.
Todd in the Shadows is fucking brilliant.
Amazing vocals … gives me goosebumps every time I listen. Love Howard Stern shows 👍
Her performance of 'Say Hello 2 Heaven' was brilliant as well.
Adore your channel, Justin. Always lead with the guitar intro. It's the equivalent of the 'Better Call Saul" intro.
Thanks for not underestimating Cyrus's obvious vocal talent.
Miley’s got a lower range than most pop “starlets” and genuinely sounds best over rock instrumentals (her last album had a Billy Idol collaboration, plus a very Stevie Nicks / Joan Jet bent. Hope she continues down this path
That was a great video! Of all the rockstars currently plying their trade you Sir, are the funniest!
Steve Marriott was also a child actor.
During lock-down Miley did covers of famous songs on her You-Tube channel, she always picked songs with mega vocals from different genres, and she was amazing. She has damaged her vocal chords by being overworked by the machine when she was young, that's why her voice is lower now and more gritty, sounds perfect for rock tho'
She also rips a new one out of Heart Of Glass !!!! LIVE …. Great voice , with a great band.. check it out… if you haven’t . 👍
If “rips a new one” means “absolutely murdered it” then, yes, I agree.
@@bigboxerable eh ? ……sorry but you must have hearing difficulties 🤷♂️ even Debbie Harry acknowledged how good it was… that’s presuming you know who Debbie Harry is ?
@@davidhill9375 I really like Miley Cyrus, and she can sing a balls-out rock song like no one at the moment. She’s great. But Heart of Glass is an untouchable classic pop/disco sung to smooth perfection by Debbie, and Miley really needed to keep her balls-out rock and roll away from it - in my humble opinion of course (but I am right)!
@@bigboxerable I agree up to a point… I still have my original copy from 79…. Just think she AND her band nailed it…
I love metal and I love Metallica and I thought that this was an absolutely amazing performance. I absolutely loved it and loved her vocal performance.
