Clarke Tracy is right, before this i saw like 4 or 5 live versions of Atlas, Rise! and James was struggling pretty heavy with the vocals. This version sounded way better.
egioch I've seen almost every performance of atlas, rise since the song came out, the mic in this performance is perfect, James voice was very comfortable and steady, this was the most studio sounding performance I've seen of the song so far
i don't know why he didn't let his voice for this song in all the other performances. this is how it should sound every fucking time, this is perfect. HUGE PART is that this is the slower performance, which is why it is better in every way. some songs should be played slower live, or in this case, as they were written in tempo...
Fekica Mekica Fekica Mekica he's using the same mic he uses in the studio. At stadiums, he uses another one. And it's even more physically challenging during big gigs
Yeah I was noticing something different about this performance too. I believe it's cuz they are feeling it and not just going through the motions. I could even tell in Kirks solo. It seems more on point than usual.
And I kind of love how they perform in a studio like this or when they do an interview with Howard Stern. Have you checked it out? th-cam.com/video/hBmSS8fDmek/w-d-xo.html
Wow James sounds good here, reminds me of his '80s voice :D James has a really powerful voice for his age! And that "rise" at 5:41 wow!.. one of his '80s screams.
RickGrimes41 Metallica fans need to get over James voice and the rest of the band when they do something reminiscent to the 80s, it's never ever going to sound like the 80's, ever the voice is gone. Makes the lot of you sound like a hopeful ex girlfriend who's boyfriend left them 5 years ago yet they still hold on to that hope, It's never gonna happen, and those glimpses of his voice from the '80's not even close to what he used to be capable of. Sorry for the rant but for years whenever James hits a high not or lars does a fill that he doesn't usually do everyone's like ermagerd James is back, lol no he's not.
Lars is and has always been recognised as one of the best drummers in rock of all time... Metal hipsters just think his style isn't complex or "metal" enough, it's like when people say Ringo was a "bad" drummer but actuall drummers consider him to be one of the best of all time.
These BBC sessions sound better than the album! I much prefer Hetfield's vocals set back in the mix like this. All their 80's albums had James kinda struggling to be heard (but in a good way!)
Is it bad that I think James's vocal style on Death Magnetic is better than Hardwired's? I personally like the way he sung, stood out among the 'blah' that was everything else on that record.
Great song, but definately some 80's Iron Maiden in there. "What has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiasties 1:9 God knows it all!
Better than the album version. I hate the sterile quantized studio production---this one is much more organic. And more importantly, you can hear the bass.
DRAKONOLUS SHIRKANOK I was discussing this with someone the other day and they told me this song is in a key to high for him to sing in comfortably maybe that's it
Music that actually needs talent to play
played this for talent show at school, the girl who sung fireflies still won 🤦♂️
Scott Haslam 😬
Sounds great, strong vocals from Hetfield!
Oh my God, this director. SO. MANY. CAMERAS. So many fucking cuts, calm down!
Reggie Dupre its Metallica , thats why they get exciting...
Agreed
Yeah man hate that kind of video editing, totally idiotic
The clip was probably filmed and edited by the year 10 kids on work experience.
Reggie Dupre I agree, it's kinda unpleasant to watch,
that bass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Right up there in the mix!
Francis Croteau Sounds amazing with the bass up the way it was!
Francis Croteau
HOLY FUCK! james sounds amazing
3:25 James: "right, the solo goes first. I almost sang there!"
Yeah! 😂
Hetfields voice is the best it's been since the 80's 🤘this is by far the best performance of atlas, rise I've seen
how many performances of Atlas, rise you've seen I wonder
Clarke Tracy is right, before this i saw like 4 or 5 live versions of Atlas, Rise! and James was struggling pretty heavy with the vocals. This version sounded way better.
egioch I've seen almost every performance of atlas, rise since the song came out, the mic in this performance is perfect, James voice was very comfortable and steady, this was the most studio sounding performance I've seen of the song so far
Willem Zeeman yeah, James voice wasn't as good in the other performances, this one was much better
This is the best performance of this song. So damn good
i don't know why he didn't let his voice for this song in all the other performances. this is how it should sound every fucking time, this is perfect. HUGE PART is that this is the slower performance, which is why it is better in every way. some songs should be played slower live, or in this case, as they were written in tempo...
'Cause he is 53 and during long shows he gets tired. Metallica songs are very tiring to sing, especially the early ones.
I agree with you, the best performance so far
Fekica Mekica Fekica Mekica he's using the same mic he uses in the studio. At stadiums, he uses another one. And it's even more physically challenging during big gigs
Yeah I was noticing something different about this performance too. I believe it's cuz they are feeling it and not just going through the motions. I could even tell in Kirks solo. It seems more on point than usual.
Unexpected from bbc, but well played sir
Hetfields best vocal performance since either Orion 2013 or San Diego 92
Orion 😂😂
The way he sings from 2:04 to 2:21 is better than the album version.
I dont know if it has anything to do with the mic like, but the mic is top fucking notch.
Their live performances always sound better than album. That's why they're exceptional, magnifique.
And I kind of love how they perform in a studio like this or when they do an interview with Howard Stern. Have you checked it out? th-cam.com/video/hBmSS8fDmek/w-d-xo.html
Yeahh!! He's more natural!!!
Wow James sounds good here, reminds me of his '80s voice :D James has a really powerful voice for his age! And that "rise" at 5:41 wow!.. one of his '80s screams.
I kept coming back to see if you had commented haha
martial arts Lol
RickGrimes41 This album is so great the way it is,it's awesomeness would be too hard to bear if James had his Seattle '89 voice.
RickGrimes41 Metallica fans need to get over James voice and the rest of the band when they do something reminiscent to the 80s, it's never ever going to sound like the 80's, ever the voice is gone.

I suspect vocals are recorded again for the video. not a pro myself to detect these stuff, but check the lip sync again yourself, around 5:41
Why can't James always use that mic instead?
I KNOW RIGHT!! It kills the 55's he uses live!!
Solid AF.
Juan Nieve you made the liquid silent man !!
Lars has really improved and proved a lot of people wrong about him as a drummer i hope.
Lars is and has always been recognised as one of the best drummers in rock of all time... Metal hipsters just think his style isn't complex or "metal" enough, it's like when people say Ringo was a "bad" drummer but actuall drummers consider him to be one of the best of all time.
He isn't the best drummer in in rock. He isn't bad but he is far from the best. I like his drumming though
General Shamic I didn't say he was? But if you go to any credible list like rolling stones mag Lars would be in the top 10.
General Shamic: No. He's the best.
Don't know about top 10, but he does the job. Always did. Fucking perfect fit for a great band.
fucking great new album, the best from the last 10 years, metallica is back!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YA!!!!!
michel slikker Make that the last 25 years!
for me, nmbr1>>>black album nmbr2>>>and justice for all>>> nmbr3>>>hardwired...to self destruct.
lmao, there is no way this album is better than DM
***** The production alone makes it better as far as I'm concerned.
***** so, better production means better album?, really?, no matter the quality of the composition?...
One of the greatest rock&roll bands on the planet...
The Greatest (Metal) Band of All Times*
Well to me they are Rock AND Roll, cos i am probabley a we bit older than you.
Alphonse Gabriel lol ok so u gotta be even older than James
Yes mate but i still listen to Metallica.
1:43 it's James 80's voice
What about at 5:40 though? That RISEEEEE
Really strong vocals
Fuck. Stop zooming and moving the camera. Feels like an earthquake.
These BBC sessions sound better than the album! I much prefer Hetfield's vocals set back in the mix like this. All their 80's albums had James kinda struggling to be heard (but in a good way!)
Hetfield down stroking like a motherfucker! that was more impressive than the solo parts. Sounds perfect!
For once BBC Radio 1 have someone good on
Papa Het and his riff machine are back.
James' voice finally didn't crack in the middle ATLAS RISE! lol
he needs too much air, man
he is 55 y.o. man :D
It seems that the vocal of this song is particularly challenging for him
i agree.but consider the damage at his voice from the years and alcohool/drugs.i think he is in a good shape :D
James did drugs? I thought it was just alcohol. And yeah, I do love the man. My favorite musician by far.
Papa Smurf on the Drums.....Lars its the BEST
+BBC Radio 1 where can we get this in a better sound quality??
Amazing performance.
It's a little bit funny because the chorus reminds me Iron Maiden's style.
Keep going Metallica!!! 💀💀
Fábio F Vieira it reminds me of the chorus of Blackened :p
They really did come back strong with this last album.
Did Metallica just play two songs? They sound pretty damn awesome. Love that they mixed the bass high in the mix. Makes these new songs sound heavier.
Rob really doesn't get the attention he deserves.
Rene Rodriguez 5 songs... Atlas, Moth, Hardwired, Harvester and Sandman
Thanks for the info!
Kirk is extremely solid in this performance!
"How does it feel on your own?
Bound by the world all alone
Crushed under heavy skies..."
Great, they must play full album on concerts, i don't want to listen Creepin' death, Enter sandman and old shits anymore.
lol no
oh finally!
I don't know whay they on last concert play only 3 new songs.
They will play them soon enough
Because they dont know them well right now :P
Is it bad that I think James's vocal style on Death Magnetic is better than Hardwired's? I personally like the way he sung, stood out among the 'blah' that was everything else on that record.
4:17 to 4:37 IS SO GOOD!!! Kirk's face says it all!!!
james voice sounds awesome
fuckn rockd that shit!
The Hetmeister sounding brutal
Had a headache with the wobbly shots editing. Great as always from Tallica
Very strong performance - especially Hetfield. Metallica isn't fading into the horizon.... Great album - I'm hoping they come near me...
Metallica!!!!!
Wtf Metallica on radio 1 holy shit!
A long lost friend is finally back
Boom
killer jaymz
Lars, is that a hint of a blastbeat right there? @1:22. Haha great effort little dude!
Awesome performance!!! James is a beast! \m/
at the end there if you listen closely you can hear lars say, "fucked up... in one place"
Axwage he didn't do the snare roll and crash alterations after the guitar harmonies
God James you sound badass!!!!! Rock on mother fuckers!!!!
Fuck...yes.
Robert fucking Trujillo!!!!!!!
5:40 I like it so much...
great perfomance of james in this live version \m/
Yeeeeeeah
the new album is awesome!!! not 1 song I don't like
This should be the official video! 🤯
That snare sounds like crap..
This is good, really good. But to make it fucking amazing, change the settings to play it at 1.25 speed. Brutal
Haha. That's great. :D
if you put at 0.5 you get the doom metal version
Great song, but definately some 80's Iron Maiden in there. "What has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiasties 1:9 God knows it all!
atlas, laugh! (check James's laughcovers)
this is great, I saw them in 1986 and this is great old school vibe
Heavy perfomance!
ΜΠΟΜΠΑ !!!!
5:41 yeaah that voice
its amazing brother
Sounds great. Everything but the snare.
I agree James vocals are superb
That last "RISE" !!!!!!!! Tho \m/
That bass give me so much energy ffs
Hearing this Live at #Etihad #MetInManchester 2019 Well. It was amazing!
Obviously
Poor Kirk not getting any camera time...not even during his solo
LOVE YOU JAMES..THE BEST FOREVER!
Better than the album version. I hate the sterile quantized studio production---this one is much more organic. And more importantly, you can hear the bass.
They look like they are really enjoying playing new stuff. Can't imagine what it would be like singing enter sandman God knows how many times
Hardwired is easily the best Metallica album. No clunkers, no throwaways, no wasted space. An absolute Mastrerpiece.
rock on
Good music on R1!
These lyrics are so lit!
ok this is better than the actual video clip of the song
😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤ arrasam
Man, James' voice is changing, again
Михаил Чечёткин he's 53 years old. His voice even though in good shape isn't going to be consistent from song/show to another
Freaking gods!!!!!!!
very good
At least his voice didn't crack like the live premiere. I kinda felt bad for him but it was funny.
The day Lar's got to meet me, he'll never forget it
Atlas..riiiiiiseeeeeeee!!!!!!
One of a best sound and also which I heard from metallica in last 10 years.
If only bbc played this music live ffs the world would be a better place awwwww
YES
Wow, incredible performance, I usually skip this song on the album, but the live versions of this song are so much better
Already downtuned? This records has clearly Load/Reload vibe, love it :-)))
Which old fart has this kind of lung power? And those riffs! Hetfield is a monster
Just wow!!!! so good
Poor James, his voice is ripped and tired. This song is to bigger for him and he cannot deal with it's higher notes?. Don't know, hope is ok.
DRAKONOLUS SHIRKANOK I was discussing this with someone the other day and they told me this song is in a key to high for him to sing in comfortably maybe that's it
Atlas Riceeee
Remember when they sued Napster for giving their music away for free?
alguien sabe si en vivo también están usando Fractal Axe Fx?
love that so good
Metallica
YESSSS...THE PIONEERS OF METAL MUSIC AS PERFECT AS ALWAYS...POWERFUL PROS.......
BBC aren’t worthy of Metallica’s presence
one solid live performance.. awesome album! hell yeah \m/
God song. This is the best music for the new album.
