Yea, what you hear on the album is like hearing James 6-7 years before that. I'm not sure if they made it to sound like the Black Album or if perhaps they looked up recordings to mix it in like a throwback. - Always thought that was a cool detail.
DarthUno I think he might have had some vocal parts but it looks like the guys setting up for them put the mic on Kirks side instead. No way to know wince this is the only performance of UII with Jason
During Load and Reload albums, James has that unique style of vocals that kinda cool that hard for me to describe. It gaves those two albums a special kinda sound. Well done James 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
he adopted a more mellow, relaxed, ballad-ish style because he blew out his vocal cords. He was still recovering around this time and couldn't afford to continue with his harsh vocals.
Man, I remember being there. It was right after I moved to Las Vegas. Only went for Metallica. It sounded great live from what I remember. I remember being all jazzed about it afterwards. The 14 year old me was in heaven.
01:06 when you f**k up in front of thousands of people and cold sweat starts running down your back, but you keep on going as if nothing happened. XD Damn even my intestines twitched at that first note, Kirk must've died inside that very moment lol.
If you're talking about Kirk's Little lick in the intro, it's because the song was written with a special bender on only the B string. So pretty much every time he fails it live, because he uses a regular guitar.
@@DenSvartaStjarnan it's actually James who wrote this song with a b-bender, that's why he's playing that Tele, it's got one. Kirk just probably was too nervous or something. Slide guitar can be tricky
i just can't understand why there are so many hate comments here. people complaining about their hair, about the music, about the vocals... Fine, Kirk messed up in the intro... shit happens, people make mistakes. At least he didn't panic and kept on playing. The vocals are amazing, James' voice was super kick ass at that time. The fact that this song is not thrash metal or whatever crap doesn't make it bad! Stop finding comfort in things staying the same. These guys had the courage to switch from thrash metal to other genres, it's not a sellout, it's musical growth. And even if the point of the musical switch is commercial, it's not bad to want more people to discover your music! Don't you want the best for your favorite band? About the hair thing now... whoever's mad at that please tell me why cause i can't figure out a serious reason. That's all i had to say, feels good to get it out man
It’s a really good performance but the one guy that tuned Kriks guitar did never get to tune a guitar again. I just can’t un-hear Kirks guitar it’s so bad.
I remember watching this live. obviously this was during quite a transitional 5-6 years for Metallica. But knowing the original unforgiven I thought that's what they were going into then they debuted this. It doesn't touch the original unforgiven but it still had an impact on me and it still does. I appreciate the subject matter the cleverness and the guitar riffs. I guess I appreciate the whole fucking song. ....But also seeing busta rhymes and Wayne newton introduce them is hilarious.
The slide guitar from kirk happened nearly 30 years ago... but I remember the cringe of hearing it for the first time like it was yesterday. It's all I remember from this performance, unfortunately.

I believe the song was originally recorded on a Tele, because of the b-bender. I've only seen b-benders installed in Teles... so that's the reason for the Tele.

Santong Galit No, Kirk wasn’t using a b bender in the studio performance, it was James that was using one. James is using the b bender telecaster here too.
@LS C85 i play a lot of slide and can absolutely confirm this. Unlike regular notes, you have to place the slide directly over the metal part of the fret to properly tune the note. If you have low action this can cause some serious articulation problems, buzzing etc. I also think the guitar tech - or Kirk himself - messed up with his guitar FX and hit the wrong patch, or something. Playing at such a loud volume in the mix, with so little distortion and such a bright tone just doesn't make any sense. Overall It's a clusterfuck 😂. Happens to the best of us though.
I picture all 4 bands ready to play on 4 different stages, as if no one knew who the winner was going to be. So much logistical organization for no reason. This isn't what happened, but I pictured it, and I laughed.

It's so strange if you think that they are the same people who played at Moscow Monsters of Rock 1991
And Seattle 89
Why? They expanded their musicianship and songwriting. This was a weird mix, but they still haven't equalled the emotional power of songs like this.
