The old voice of (drunk)Master James Hetfield was the best. Even his performance on stage and the lower style of guitar playing, so cool.. I miss old school Metallica.. \M/
Ya he was great when he was drinking but i thinj when he stopped it wasnt as powerful but more cleaner and ya i agree when he was younger his voice was amazing but i kinda dig his voice now too
@@mikebryant8507 today he can use that distortion, is old and don't want to do that because that kind of dist is so hard to keep along the whole song. He turns an old "lazy"
Metallica had It all. The epitome of a badass frontman making the most amazing riffs you can imagine. Good solos. The most passionate drummer also co-composing virtually every song and the most lovable guy on the bass.
It's why they got even more famous after Cliff died, he dropped his strap even lower, played harder and faster, and got in his power stance all for his fallen brother, mentor, and friend... and he hasn't left it till this day. The best front man to ever walk the Planet, James Fucking Hetfield!!
Unfortunately, rock stars that age past 40 typically have blown out their vocal chords by then by the sheer amount of concerts they have played and practiced.
it is a good old back in the day Tama model#AW526 6.5x14 artwood maple snare with square peg two way lugs and Remo CS batter head and when he used Regal tip wood drumstick with nylon tip...all to get that sound
@yeet INdeed...plenty of those snares come on ebay...or if you can not find the exact one any artwood snare from the mid 80's through early 90's will do...they are all very similar in either maple or birch..some have round two way lugs some just have the squared two way...just type in vintage tama artwood snare,they were standard catalog issued snares ,plenty made....there are two one birch and one maple on ebay right now in natural finish one for 323$ the other 369$,just a heads up for you...Remo still makes the CS drumhead and Calato still makes the Regal tip 5B nylon tip drumsticks...just get green stick wrap tape to tape the back half with like Lars used to do back in the day and you are all set!
tweevers2 does the room need to have a lot of reverb to sound like that? or will it sound like that all the time? and thanks for your help, I've been looking around trying to find a way to get this sound
well considering this is a PA system in a giant open air stadium getting this sound,...to mimic it in studio??????....,you have what mic to be used,mic position,room mics, what type of room ie a big open room with natural reverb or a small padded dead sounding room,how you tune top and bottom snare drum heads,how you mix and gate/compress snare mix,dampen or not the snare heads/moon gel...and on and on all contribute...I imagine one could replicate this snare sound with just a really good shure SM57 mic,Tama artwood snare with remo CS coated batter head,nylon tip wood drumsticks,playing around with fairly tight---tight tuning of snare,and another mic as a room mic and all comes down to mixing overall
Mesa/Boogie should just have this video as an ad for their amps, no words or nothing. Just this song. At the end flash the Mesa logo. That shit'll sell like hot cakes
I'm a hobby bass player and I play finger style like Cliff and Rob, but Jason was able to put that punchy pick sound to good use to create a crushing aggressive bass groove. He steals the show on quite a lot of Black Album tracks, in my opinion.
Totally agree. I use both fingers and pick depending on the song. But I actually think pickstyle works better on most metallica tracks. Jason is a really solid bassplayer. Very very underrated for sure.
30 years and still a banger. They had such a fantastic stage presence and were untouchable in the late 80s and early 90s. Can’t believe they’re still performing, saw them in Prague this year.
I'd like to make the bold statement and say that this song right here, sad but true, was the start of heavy metal. Things were not this heavy in the 80's in the metal scene.
Idk y they keep saying negative things about Lars. But back then he was damn good. Maybe we need to put into our quick judging minds that they are getting old now. Or they are old now but still kicking ass! Miss the original Metallica with Jason. 🤘
I dont know why I never hear such perfect drum sounds anymore... like its not about the talent of the drummers. more like about the sound that drums produce.
It most certainly does have to do with good dynamics and consistency from the drummer. If you don't at least have that much to work with, you're putting lipstick on a pig. But this sounds good because a production crew was recording each channel of the house mixer in order to mix and master the whole performance and add it to the proshot video afterwards, which is what we're seeing now. And of course, lars was still playing well at this time lol.
Whenever you have a drummer who founds a metal band you can expect it to be world class. These guys are in the Encyclopedia Britannia under "Metal Music".
I was at this show and it was the most powerful thing I'd ever experienced up to that point for a live show. Soundgarden had a great set but man, when Metallica came on it was like an explosion. Everyone was up and you could feel the waves of energy from the crowd and back to the band. Made an indelible mark on me.
This has to be in contention for Metallica’s HEAVIEST song. That groove is so kick-ass, man were they awesome back then. I love all their work but the Black Album era might be my favorite.
This is not as good as the album... it's better than the album. Metallica from the Justice era until the end of the Black album tour were barbarians on the stage.
say what you want about Lars drumming, it really doesn't matter if there are plenty of better players, he has energy and loves playing. He's obviously been part of their success from the beginning. I love watching him drum, he's always having fun.
Hey, I'm your life I'm the one who takes you there Hey, I'm your life I'm the one who cares They, they betray I'm your only true friend now They, they'll betray I'm forever there I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel Sad but true I'm your dream, mind astray I'm your eyes while you're away I'm your pain while you repay You know it's sad but true You, you're my mask You're my cover, my shelter You, you're my mask You're the one who's blamed Do, do my work Do my dirty work, scapegoat Do, do my deeds You're the one who's shamed I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel Sad but true I'm your dream, mind astray I'm your eyes while you're away I'm your pain while you repay You know it's sad but true I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel Sad but true I'm your dream, mind astray I'm your eyes while you're away I'm your pain while you repay You know it's sad but true Hate, I'm your hate I'm your hate when you want love Pay, pay the price Pay, for nothing's fair Hey, I'm your life I'm the one who took you there Hey, I'm your life And I no longer care I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel Sad but true I'm your truth, telling lies I'm your reason, alibi I'm inside, open your eyes I'm you

They still do

You spelt Danny Carey wrong
That snare sound is godly
Skylar Hayley Williams I love her and yes that snare sounds great.
SKY, you are so damn beautiful !! And yes, you're right, it sounds godly!!
That snare sound is kind of like a loud gunshot mixed with a punch to the face by Mike Tyson. It is brutal but so right.
@@Fister_of_Muppets its so good
St Anger snare is even more godlier
The way James plays and sings is so unique. You could tell it's him just by his silhouette.

U right.
One of my favourite
When you play a heavy song at the right tempo...
When Lars was still doing coke...
Just when he started doing is what i've heard.
But i think be "musta bin" during some damaged justice shows aswell...
Check out his pic on the back of the album 🥴

This has to be the greatest live version of Sad But True ever recorded 🤘
Agreed.
Jason's rockin' the Sad But True Metallica T-shirt.
4:35 so epic. Almost comes out of his boots yelling hate!
A lot of these Black Album songs have such a heavy Sabbath vibe to them.
haha Holy fuck that 6 string bass Jason is rocking! What a badass!
And it's an Alembic too. They are exquisite and priced accordingly.
yeah awesome stuff. he switched to Spector in 94 and then to the Shadowskys after Load.

The word “hate” to start the verse after the solo hits so freakin hard! No band will ever come close to these legends. Long live Metallica!

Sad but true

Metallica at their Best!!! Loud & Heavy!!!
Michael Trejo this is not the Heavy Metallica, Seattle '89 or the first years were amazing
JackGamer black album is my favorite but man I love Seattle 89 too
JESUS CHRIST! Lars had so much hair back in the day!

Cliff days were good too, just got into master of puppets again
They say those things cause he can’t play record version of and justice for all live.

Amazing live and on CD!!!!!! This is the best band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lars and them drums still blow my mind. Pounding song after song
Amazing guys.....all of them TIMELESS
Also cool that the Pushead Sad But True design, the t-shirt that Jason is wearing, is also part of the stage setup. Kicks tons of ass
The best Metallica Snare and Kicks
Dude this kicks ass
You hear no auto tune and look how amazing this is
As big a live sound as you will ever hear from any band. HUGE.
Metallica in his prime. The perfect sound and line up. Hetfield's voice was awesome, everything was perfect back then.
That's how the metal is meant to play!!!
Favourite song from school life❤
Brutal drum sounds
Jason was the fire in metallica,ruled that stage every show!!!
Late 80’s/early 90’s Jason Newsted is where it’s at 👌🏼
Saw them last night at Globe Life Field in Arlington. They still kick fucking ass. One of the best shows I’ve seen
Damn, they used to sound heavy playing live! This heart pumping shit🤘
the snare is a pure tama spirit..
This concert was the day after I turned 14
This one is my fav.. 🖤🖤🤟 2019 anyone??
Enjoy that year while you have it
amazing performance with all the attitude of the 90s, grew up with that album and will die enjoying it
Lars is a fucking beast at this concert
great times...masterpiece!🤘
Daniele Cacciaglia Metallica rules forever
Ahhhhh the good ole long haired, grungy Metallica. Love it!!!
Kirk rocking the Jackson!
Metallica has always been my favorite rock band. Keep up the great job guys!
Adell Greene Rock?
Did u actually ment rock band 😀????
Rockallica
Metals in the name bruh
Lol rock
Perfect live performance
I’m so impressed usually live songs don’t sound as fucking good as the Albion version but this did
Key word “did”
This is not as good as the album... it's better than the album. Metallica from the Justice era until the end of the Black album tour were barbarians on the stage.
James sounds amazing here!!
Best live of this song with my fav bassist 🤘🏻all rocking in pure black🖤
Great song, one of my favorites off of the Black Album. So heavy, I miss this sound, it’s so right.
Metallica songs are soooo and soooooooo hard to sing. it requires so much vocal strength
Cyber Extasy i can sing it easily!!!!
