I can give you a list on how to destroy you're wrist if you want? First start with Pantera's Fucking Hostile song, then move on to Disposable Heros and finally end with Iced Earth's The Coming Curse.
@@vasvas8914 close, James watched NFL film’s documentary titled disposable Heroes (its on TH-cam) about retired football players and bodies are destroyed for years of playing
Erik Helkimo Well he Records all his new shit in E so saying he can’t hit those notes is a stretch. Not only does he sing it in E he also sings the higher Harmonies. He’s just more comfortable singing in Eb
In my opinion James vocal performance on And Justice for All is the greatest metal vocal performance of all time. Go on to TH-cam and find his isolated vocal performance from that album and it is just mind-blowing how much strength there is in his voice.
Default User Cliff wanted them to carry on you fuck, so don’t say that stupid shit. Jason did a great job on the albums he played on live, and Rob is great too. You can’t deny Jason was great in Metallica, especially live.
+Tillman40 and lots of practice, of course. Which takes motivation. Which comes from being in a genuinely=inspirational band that's of the people, by the people and for the people. Then Bob Rock and the money-men got their hooks into them, look what happened. "Chop your breakfast on a mirror", no irony felt by Lars, anyone? I heard from two degrees of separation from the band - and unlike some shit-talkers, I believe this one - that he's plenty into his 'beak'... People have all right to do whatever they like to their own body and mind if it harms no-one else - but that symbolises the change in the band's outlook, in a nutshell.
I heard this song in 1986. it was the first song I'd ever heard by metallica. to be quite honest, it freaked me out a little bit. I'd never heard anything even remotely close to this in terms of speed and energy. took a couple listens to grow on me. 30 years later, still one of my all time favorites. getting old sucks
Kill was pioneering. Ride to me was over-rated, certainly some good moments (C.Death, Fade, Fight Fire, maybe the title cut and Traped) for sure, but THIS album was massive. Not a single weak note to be found. Master of Puppets is the Master of all albums.
Yea, you got that right about Cliff. Saw this tour in Austin with NO stage barrier and there were so many stage divers I had to move a few feet back to enjoy the show without getting a boot in my face. More punks than metal heads in Austin in 1985. Looking back I realise almost all the commotion was in front of Cliff. He encouraged it and laughed at the poor roadie that was trying to throw kids off the stage. James and Kirk combined didnt ignite the fun that Cliff alone did. Looking back it seems obvious It was mainly due to Cliff I feel. Funny as hell seeing that chubby roadie chasing stage-divers with Fight Fire With Fire blaring in the background and roady is tripping falling and finally gives up and flips the bird to the small (
I wasn't at that particular show but I went to see them in January 1985 in Hartford, Conn. It was one of the greatest nights of my life. I was in a perpetual state of blown away-edness for about 2 weeks after the show! 😆🤟🤟
Lars actually played all his awesome fills. James' voice could still hit the high notes without struggling. Kirk nailing his solo. And cliff being there. Best performance of this song snd the album wasn't even released yet. Shame they didn't play this more
Megadeth was as good as Metallica at this point. Greatest band of all time? I think Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Mr. Ward take that honor, hands down. And just my opinion, but Slayer and Kreator were as good if not better than Metallica at this point
Lord Thornton Eddington i remember watch the Documentary from the Making off The Black Album where he said that he push his vocals too hard and he got to take vocals lessons. I don't know if it was before or after the BA Tour
In the worldwired tour, James still uses that guitar on Battery and kirk still uses that guitar on sad but true. It's good that they haven't forgotten about those guitars
Any footage I see of cliff is just golden. Dude was a prodigy, absolute god and not only were we robbed of his potential, a young man got his life taken from him in such a sad and random manner. RIP Cliff.
You can really feel how Lars’ drumming, on a good day, wasn’t merely simple but also punkish, obscenely heavy, and adding the perfect syncopation to some gnarly rhythms. The chorus is pure hooky aggression.
There was no other way for the boys to reach the top of the musical industry. Hearing this for the 1st time must've been like "Holy fok, new jesus is born" or something. This song tells hella story and is so deep and dark and yet so powerfull and fast. Amazing masterpiece
This is the most fuckkkin underrated not just Metallica song but all over the metal genre song that has ever been … and this gig is so fuckkkin raw god
Pioneers of extreme Metal such Death Metal and Black Metal gapped their mouth and watch in awe as Metallica unleashed these punishing sounds. Few years later Death Metal was born and a couple of years later Black Metal was born. The influence is undeniable.
...his body movements changed drastically for those few seconds...I wonder if he was actually playing double bass that fast...or if he was doin some sort of technical trick perhaps to make it so precise...because Lars’ double bass is rarely ever that precise....
My wish is granted! Metallica confirmed this full show is finally being released on DVD as part of the upcoming Ride the Lightning Remaster box set on April 15th!
I like Disposable Heroes on the Master Of Puppets album but seeing them playing this song live is 1000x better than the studio version. I love James Hetfield’s raw, explosive, loud and animalistic vocals in this track and man, he killed it in this song
James' voice, ugh... this has to be one of their best live performances in my opinion. He sounds so raw and visceral, i miss it so badly, but thats what happens when you age unfortunately :( I still love them though!
Somehow i knew at 7 this song was going to mean alot more to me at 23 than I ever knew, Baghdad 05-06, rest in power to my fellow soldiers that never came home
I remember my brother singing along to this song and not fully understanding the lyrics but fearing 😨 them nonetheless and now, they are still chilling but at the same time badass 🤘🏽 long live Metallica
powerful lyrics on this song. Makes me think about how our veterans are currently treated by government agencies. men and women who put their lives on the line and then get treated poorly back home. It's truly shameful and this song speaks volumes about the subject.
This is the Hetfield voice that should be put in the Smithsonian. Not just this song.. I'm talking their first 3 albums. Metallica STILL holds the torch for heavy metal, metal, etc. Reason why I say that is because James Hetfield said, "We are not heavy metal, we are not hard rock, WE ARE METALLICA." Nonetheless, Metallica took the torch from Black Sabbath and have held it ever since. Forget it, no other band from now on will beat Metallica! Rob Zombie quote, " Black Sabbath created heavy metal, but Metallica perfected it."
That's what I say of them in 1988 too -- Master of Puppets and AJFA are those two albums you have to speak with great respect. Both are their pinnacles. The term, "Did it on their own terms."
Check out their set in Japan December 86 he nails the double time in battery 🤘🏻 that entire set is one of the best of theirs in my opinion, just sucks cliff wasnt there
Thinking about it more, not much has changed. James is still a beast, Kirk has grown a few pubes on his face, Cliff has ascended and, err, reborn as a Mexican, and Lars has been replaced with a right-handed Phil Collins. Mostly all good.
***** MetClubber for 15 years and a fan since '86. I know a right handed Phil Collins when I see one. The real Lars is at home thinking 'damn, Kirk has pubes on his face'.
Can you imagine the band you're watching says "wanna hear a new song?" And then they play this?
My God...
@@JerryAsbury1985 no offence, but this one is the heaviest Metallica song ever.
@@Enerjikk thats your opinion
@@Enerjikk i agree!!! in my top three with khtulu and orion!!!
@@Enerjikk this and dyers eve
@@Enerjikk Disposable Heroes is more ass-kicking and chunkier than most of AJFA's riffs, probably because of the bass and the mildly scooped tone
Best version of Disposable Heroes ever..
True that
best Metallica ever
agreed!
Well, james forgets the lyrics at one point, but other than that is was musically superb.
Maybe because it's the first live performance; that usually happens. Anyway it sounds great.
'Tallica '85: Ha! Are we fuckin' nuts tonight?

To be fair, James is much more mature and smart now, compared to this drunk kid we see here.
+ViciousViridian well but what "James" do you prefer to see alive? i totally prefer this one, is way better

Master of puppets and creeping death too if you play it all downpicking
Max Lu also try Violate by Iced Earth, you will see what i mean.
Max Lu I down pick mostly when I play those songs, hand gets so tired mid way through
creeping death is easy to downpick for me. it doesnt destroy my wrist at all
Could anyone imagine writing this song and lyrics at 22 yrs old? Absolute legends…
Seriously, I always forget how young they were writing masterpieces.

Pls no one ruin it.
No wonder he blew his voice out, we should all be really grateful that he can still hit the same notes he used to
He can't sing as high anymore. That's why most of the songs are tuned down to Eb (1 half step down) live.
Erik Helkimo you answered my question and I thank you
Kelly Crizanto You're welcome:)
Erik Helkimo Well he Records all his new shit in E so saying he can’t hit those notes is a stretch. Not only does he sing it in E he also sings the higher Harmonies. He’s just more comfortable singing in Eb
True, and if you tune up the live videos to E you can tell he's hitting higher than he should be for Eb
James’s voice was just nuts man. So gritty. Best metal vocals of all time.
In my opinion James vocal performance on And Justice for All is the greatest metal vocal performance of all time. Go on to TH-cam and find his isolated vocal performance from that album and it is just mind-blowing how much strength there is in his voice.
Have you ever heard Iron Maiden lol?! Or Queensryche?
@@michaelscaccia1454 there good too but come on no one can touch MR Hetfield
His voice was great in the 80's. Today? Hm...
Yeah this period he had such great vocals, and man these lyrics are pretty dark man, they don't make em like this anymore.
I don't care what anybody says...in their prime, these guys OWNED metal.

Beethoven of metal, end of story.
And Slayer
They hadn't hit their peak yet here. The puppets tour with Ozzy launched them into the stratosphere.
Cliff was to Metallica what Bonham was to Zeppelin.
Super Dynamite Someone who finally understands!

ImpalerGaming I want to say Lars would only have been 18 when Kill Em All was released.
Bonechip james balls finally dropped around this era. pre kill em all is just hilarious and it’s only a 3-4 year difference

The time when Metallica was once the greatest band of all time
yeah its sad that after 1993 they turned to shit

Better than Metallica. But not Sabbath. I saw both of them together at an Ozzfest in Denver and they both sounded fuckin awesome

This is the best you will EVER hear Disposable Heroes live, period, not even the CD was as good as this, that voice, fucking amazing.
Don't get carried away lol. This is great but get real.
No wonder james blew his voice out. How the fuck can anyone do that day in and day out. Vocals are so raw, and fucking awesome.
im surprised he didn't blow it out sooner
indeed, he managed almost 8 years with that vocal style, until finally he fucked up his throat in the Black Album Tour
Nicolás Riveros is that what happened? Has he ever talked about it ?

And lars Tama kit
In the worldwired tour, James still uses that guitar on Battery and kirk still uses that guitar on sad but true. It's good that they haven't forgotten about those guitars

This was the first time anyone had heard this song. Now it's celebrated as one of their all time best. Man I wish I was alive back then...
I love the ending how kirk plays the riff... i wish they could of done it in studio version
that was the best voice ever in trash metal
Thrash*
+Conqwest13 oh thanks :)
lmao trash
+Son of a Fish my friend its called Thrash Metal...\\m//
It used to be. Hetfield doesnt have the same gravity in his voice anymore. Now it all sounds forced. Wht a shame.
Wow! Best version ever of that song. That's spirit of the genre. Their current interpretations feels too much comfortable.
just making me feel old...headphones on full volume
Fuck yeah Grandma
Raw, untamed energy, youth, angst fueled by aggression and channeled through the axe in their hands...
