Is anyone else low-key obsessed with Metallica’s HQ? I feel like they bought a warehouse, built a studio in it and called it there adult-hangout spot. So fucken cool man.
If I remember, its actually an old airplane hangar that they converted into HQ. I cant think of any musician who wouldnt love to be able to do that! Having their entire operation and history contained in that one space definitely would fuel creativity on a massive level. I recall James talking about wanting to take the garage that they wrote Puppets in and moving the whole thing to HQ, only to find out it had been torn down...but then was stoked to learn they saved some of the lumber, so he had Ken Lawrence turn it into his guitar "Carl". Definite mojo flying around there!
People hate on Lars, because he is unconventional, but his style works perfectly with James. His bass hits on the down stroke of his riffs. James leads the band but the drummer, so that's why it's unique.
11:35 That distorted bass was great. It reminded me of Cliff's solo performance. It's ironic that my two favorite bassists end up playing for the same band.
It's amazing how simplistic songwriters they are. They have no real tactics beyond just trial and error and "Finding pieces that connect", you'd think after all these years they'd have a process but its just like getting with your buddies and jamming. Very humbling.
Andromeda That's how most of us do it. You play stuff until you find something that's good, and when you do, you continue until you find something that fits the first part :p
when you come up with a part.. instead of trying to figure out where to go next, find out first where did it come from.. and then when you do that, you'll find where to go next...
@@MrParkerman6 The process has structure, the steps to make a song. Metallica doesn't have one, they figure what's working on the spot. Check out Mick Gordon's talk at GDC 2017, the first part of it is exactly about that.
It was the only good track on the 2nd disc and at the same time, the best track on all of Hardwired. If it wasn't for Spit out the Bone, the entire 2nd half of the album would be entirely dismissed.
@@TheyCallMeMrMaybeNot to be biased because of my love for the band but I strongly disagree Confusion is a track straight out the Black Album I love it You should hear the Black Album rework people do with AI James Hetfield, it fits right in. Murder One is a great tribute to Lemmy and a badass song Here Comes Revenge is awesome (except that horrendous solo. Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now) And Obviously the best Metallica thrash song since the 80s (IMO) Spit Out The Bone The rest I agree to be dismissible
It sounded very Hit the Lights-y to me, I thought he was making like a musical pun. "There's a power issue" "Oh my God!" *starts playing Hit the Lights*
My (personal) theory is he hit "restore" instead of "backup" and lost everything. He never lost his phone. Even James in an interview said, "If he said he lost his phone... then I guess that's what happened". No one believes Kirk haha, he was saving face.
Robert is there almost every day and people still call him a session musician. Yet, Kirk just shows up for his solos. Robert is part of Metallica. The band is better for it
@@makifrable Due to age and touring 24/7 it's pretty clear that James preserves his voice nowadays. He won't go all out with his voice live because there's only so much left in the tank there. Saving his best for when they record is a smart thing to do. He sounded great on HTSD.
2:39 "it doesnt have an identity yet" little did they know at the time, this would be arguably thee best thrash track theyve released since puppets. Unbelievable track, unbelievable album 6 years later still listening to it almost everyday.
I'm Devy nah testament, exodus, overkill, death angel, flotsam and jetsam, exciter, annihilator, voivod and all the German thrash bands are better than the big 4 combined when it comes to making straight up thrash
I believe that his original Flying V was stolen between Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning. The song Fade To Black is about how all his original equipment was stolen at a show believe it or not
4:11 lars' smile while james riffing. flathead and the mighty het. after 35 years they can still write so fucking great thrash riffs. i think lars was thinking this right there. he just looked his old friend and smiled.
Never met these guys and yet they have had more of a bearing on my life than most of the people I HAVE met. James, Kirk, Lars, Cliff, Jason, Rob - I love you all. Some of the most formative moments in my life had your music set to the background.
Ol' Hetfield is still a riff machine. I love the way Lars hears the riff right around 8:40 or so and just grabs the sticks. Say what you want about the guys' drumming, but if Lars likes something, it's usually damn good -- and this is damn good.
Lars is a legend end of story. He plays a crucial part in Metallica and has always done that. Arranging songs etc etc. He is not the best drummer in the world but he is far from a bad drummer.
@@Taurus1337 Do you have that written somewhere so you can copy-paste it on every metallica video? They are playing 2 and a half hour shows, keep that in mind. Check out the performance of Fade to Black from Vienna.

And to think, these guys almost broke up during the recording of St. Anger. It's so awesome to see how far they've come and how compatible they are today. The jokes, the camaraderie, the creativity, and the overall vibe was just awesome. Some Kind of Monster showed us that St. Anger had basically _none_ of that, and it was so depressing. We were watching a band just tear themselves and each other apart for personal and creative issues between all of them. The biggest obstacle being James' sobriety, trying to recover his life and band from his devastating Addiction. I dont think he laughed or even smiled one time during the whole movie :\ And now look at them. They just enthusiastically bounce off each other's vibe and ideas the whole time, making great music and most importantly, they're having FUN. TOTAL comeback, both musically and personally. Let's all give these guys a round of applause 👏 Thank God they stuck together! I will never stop loving Metallica! 🤘
The part where James is explaining to Lars and Rob the concept of "the machine, the greater good...being a part of something but having to give up some individuality for the machine"....that whole quote IS the genius of James Hetfield, and THAT has been what has taken them SO far all these years...true intellectual cerebral genius. I'd love to be inside the labyrinth of that mans brain!! And Lars is exactly the same way as well...that's what makes them such a good band and song writing team...I love it!!!
Exactly, how well lyrics/meaning connect with music. That is what makes song special for me. Not just pure vibe and good riffs. Hetfield and Lars are geniuses together.
The fact that Lars' first words when they had to reboot were "DONT WRITE ANY RIFFS" just speaks miles. How many riffs have we not heard that hes randomly laid down lol
Some would say this is the best track since Justice. I say it's the best track overall. This is a masterpiece. So many bands say, "the new song is the best we've ever done". You guys have actually pulled it off. Seriously great stuff.
Max Arambula no not really. Chuck billy, steve zetro souza, Bobby blitz, mille petrozza, etc. still sing how they used to like they did back in the day and are doing just fine with their voices
David Catanus but not everybody has the same endurance over time. Doesn't have to do with talent. Phil Collins, who was a tremendously talented drummer, can't play anymore because of the physical problems he has, probably because of age, but not because of a lack of talent or skill.
CoTeCiOtm you mean can't play as fast as he used to? yeah I suppose as you get older you're not as energetic as you once were but age doesn't determine skill. If you at least practice your instrument, you'll still sound awesome matter how old you are whether or not you can play fast technical stuff. Buddy rich is a perfect example.
David Catanus No, he actually has a spine problem that makes him unable to pick up a drumstick with his left hand, apart from other problems which causes him pain when trying to play drums. He can't play at all.
True that, but Lars is still contributing to the session, keeping tempo and generally not being a pissy bitch (like back in the early 2000s). I'm not saying that this Metallica renaissance known as "Spit out the bone" was Lars's idea, but I'm just pointing out that Lars is clearly not some kind of burden to bear for the rest of the band, which is a popular belief online. People seem to forget that many of the Metallica classics have been forged with Lars on the lead, and that he's not just some megalomaniac Danish dude. EDIT: so in the original comment that I was replying to it was written as "His vision" which I mistook for "Rob's vision", when that was not the implied meaning. My bad for mixing that up
He is the creator of the soul idea for spit out the bone..haters hate cause it's a hate train, easy to ride it..but should they, FUCK NO..Lars has improved a shit tone !
It's just the echo chamber effect. Someone sees a bunch of people saying Lars sucks so they hop on the bandwagon. They can be willfully ignorant because they aren't challenging what is the status quo so the odds of some one calling them out on their bullshit tend towards the low side.
A banda mais sincera do mundo. Mostram o processo criativo, as tretas, as ideias... Desde sempre são assim. Por isso, sou fã, mais que admirador da música.
I'm so disappointed that Kirk phoned in every solo on this record... But those vocals!!! Keep barking James, that's what we all want to hear. Best song they've put out in probably 20 years.
billizkuel87 Yes, I grudgingly gave it a shot and did not like it. I didn't expect to like HTSD either, and actually didn't even plan on checking it out at all. Liquid Metal started heavy rotation of Hardwired and I thought "huh, that's the least worst thing they've put out in a while." Then they started playing Moth and it grew on me. Then SOTB blew me away, and I bought the record.
Lars seems like the mastermind behind every single song, it's him who is working all the time and is always looking to fix the song in a way and make it better, which is quite demanding. He deserves more recognition and appreciation.
I love watching these guys work and make music, makes me want to play and start another band. Down to earth guys, cool that they are still working like this. Brings me back to the St Anger vlogs which is really enjoyed.
Hands down my favorite Metallica song ever. & I've been a fan since the beginning & no other song in their catalog hit & moves me like this song. Amazing! 👊
6:32 They got a picture of Charles Mingus on the top left hand corner of the whiteboard with a quote of his that reads, "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple."
3:26 Wonder why Lars started out so fast, seems like he started counting because he mistook Chi for some other, faster not released song. Maybe? Who knows
Not only is this song the best on the album it’s one the best they’ve ever created! I’d put it up with there with all their “classic” hits. It’s genius cause this song combines ALL the great elements of Metallica’s song we love. And James voice!!!! Especially the bridge section “Stop breathing and dedicate to me” Awwww classic and sooo damn good! This song is WAY underrated.
Vidar Nordgren The whole missing phone bit is BS. James said a while back Kirk was dealing with "life things" during this album's process, that it was his business, and he'll talk about it if he wants to talk about it. It's possible he went through rehab, therapy, or something similar. Source: www.blabbermouth.net/news/metallica-frontman-says-life-things-kept-kirk-hammett-from-being-involved-in-hardwired-writing-sessions/
The chorus, transitions, riffs, pausing, melodies/harmonies, they all meld into perfection. New metal bands take some FUCKING NOTES. Yes pausing matters! Transitions are so important! Good riffs come with good RideTheLightning distortion too!
I love that all these years later I can stumble upon something like this and enjoy it as much as I did. To me this is one of the best songs they’ve created in decades. Feels fresh, different and still Metallica. This is why they have been and will always be my favorite band. 🤟

So glad metallica adopted Robert Trujillo. He's an amazing bass player and such a chill dude.
Shhhh, don't tell him he's adopted yet
Robert was not adopted.....he was an Excellent addition.
I'm happy Robert is there. He is without a doubt a Member of Metallica.
Thank you, Robert !!!
The sound engineer guy is kinda ordering him around
I feel like he’s meant for metallica....
He's not a mountain lion from wwf like haha
I love how Kirk just comes in out of nowhere, hears what they've done so far, says "wow", then just hammers out a face melting solo like it's nothing.
Ikr?!
You know he's got solos pre written right? He just adjusts the scale it's in
Matthew Walsh hes Kirk Hammett, hes a god!
I hate most solos of this album. They sound like shit
@_nik_ha_ me too
Lars - "Don't write any riffs!"
James - *pulls an e🅱️ic riff out of his ass*

Is anyone else low-key obsessed with Metallica’s HQ? I feel like they bought a warehouse, built a studio in it and called it there adult-hangout spot. So fucken cool man.
If I remember, its actually an old airplane hangar that they converted into HQ. I cant think of any musician who wouldnt love to be able to do that! Having their entire operation and history contained in that one space definitely would fuel creativity on a massive level.

Trivium also has a air plane hanger as of summer 2021
I really love to see all the old memorabilia like the eet fuk guitar from the justice tour
They're a garage band. They made it so they built a bigger garage. So awesome.
I hear it stinks in there. But that's the only downside. Kind of a stale meat smell.

That is the dumbest opinion I've ever heard, the fact you would rank this higher than any thrash song after puppet is some smooth brained shit
"All nightmare long" was a thrash masterpiece too
Totally. It’s amazing.
When Metallica wants to really go full-on thrash, they can still do it better than any other band out there, and this song is the proof.
Moon Man megadeth and slayer are better when it comes to straight thrash

14:46 man it’s so satisfying listening to him sing that growly bit
holy shit, James still has the "EET FUK" guitar from Seattle '89
Alex Cunningham well yeah, he recorded AJFA with it
I'm more impressed that he still has the "more beer" gibson explorer from '85
Or...even more impressed he still has the Electra Flying V from 1980-1984 and recording Kill em All.
That one actually was stolen in the tour of Ride the lightning, probably the one in the video is just another of the same model.
I believe that his original Flying V was stolen between Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning. The song Fade To Black is about how all his original equipment was stolen at a show believe it or not

I'd love to be inside the labyrinth of that mans brain!! And Lars is exactly the same way as well...that's what makes them such a good band and song writing team...I love it!!!
Gun Slinger 1500% agreed!!!
Thank you, bro. Rock on!!
It simply means to be against the system, but to be sucessfull sometimes got to crawl up his ass. Common, basic philosophy
that's kind of important part of being in successful band too...
Exactly, how well lyrics/meaning connect with music. That is what makes song special for me. Not just pure vibe and good riffs. Hetfield and Lars are geniuses together.
Lars: "Its almost 7:00, should we just do this tomorrow?"
"James, you wanna eat or keep going?"
James: "Let's keep going."
There ya go.
what people think Lars lacks in ability he more than makes up for in his unbelievable ability to put a song together.
He's so lacking in ability he'd be better off being in the band as a composer rather than a musician. He's just hopeless.
@@DufftronicOk just wrong end of convo mate
The fact that Lars' first words when they had to reboot were "DONT WRITE ANY RIFFS" just speaks miles. How many riffs have we not heard that hes randomly laid down lol
5:51 "just don't read the comments"
this applies on every Metallica video
Dario P. Especially for Lars.
I can’t believe this was two years ago. How time flies 🤘🏻
damn watching them create this song just proves James is the metal riff genius....awesome how they put this together.
It took them so long to upload the making of spit out the bone because they were trying to find clips of Kirk😂
Cuz he was still trying to find his Phone He DA
His solo was sick tho
Some would say this is the best track since Justice. I say it's the best track overall. This is a masterpiece. So many bands say, "the new song is the best we've ever done". You guys have actually pulled it off. Seriously great stuff.
YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW LONG I WAITED FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
Considering the song was released in November i'd say About 4 or 5 Months :p
Jacob Speedy true
if James wanted he could sing like the black album era, but that would destroy his voice for ever
Max Arambula no not really. Chuck billy, steve zetro souza, Bobby blitz, mille petrozza, etc. still sing how they used to like they did back in the day and are doing just fine with their voices
David Catanus but not everybody has the same endurance over time. Doesn't have to do with talent. Phil Collins, who was a tremendously talented drummer, can't play anymore because of the physical problems he has, probably because of age, but not because of a lack of talent or skill.
CoTeCiOtm you mean can't play as fast as he used to? yeah I suppose as you get older you're not as energetic as you once were but age doesn't determine skill. If you at least practice your instrument, you'll still sound awesome matter how old you are whether or not you can play fast technical stuff. Buddy rich is a perfect example.
David Catanus No, he actually has a spine problem that makes him unable to pick up a drumstick with his left hand, apart from other problems which causes him pain when trying to play drums. He can't play at all.
CoTeCiOtm oh ok, now that I didn't know
13:00 “it’s almost 7 o’clock? It’s not even 6” “in an hour it will almost be 7 o’clock” 😂
That's what Lars was trying to say to begin with though.
9:09 - eet fuk! hey there my old friend, long time no see!
Emre Akı dream guitar😍😍😍
Emre Akı yeahhhh babeee
I think these kind of studio peeks really show how Lars Ulrich is far from being useless in terms of songwriting and musicianship
True that, but Lars is still contributing to the session, keeping tempo and generally not being a pissy bitch (like back in the early 2000s). I'm not saying that this Metallica renaissance known as "Spit out the bone" was Lars's idea, but I'm just pointing out that Lars is clearly not some kind of burden to bear for the rest of the band, which is a popular belief online. People seem to forget that many of the Metallica classics have been forged with Lars on the lead, and that he's not just some megalomaniac Danish dude.
EDIT: so in the original comment that I was replying to it was written as "His vision" which I mistook for "Rob's vision", when that was not the implied meaning. My bad for mixing that up
I'm pretty sure Rob said in an interview that the song was Lars' idea, i think that's what the other guy meant.
He is the creator of the soul idea for spit out the bone..haters hate cause it's a hate train, easy to ride it..but should they, FUCK NO..Lars has improved a shit tone !
You joking? Ever wonder why lars in the studio all the time.?
It's just the echo chamber effect. Someone sees a bunch of people saying Lars sucks so they hop on the bandwagon. They can be willfully ignorant because they aren't challenging what is the status quo so the odds of some one calling them out on their bullshit tend towards the low side.
A banda mais sincera do mundo. Mostram o processo criativo, as tretas, as ideias... Desde sempre são assim. Por isso, sou fã, mais que admirador da música.
I'm so disappointed that Kirk phoned in every solo on this record... But those vocals!!! Keep barking James, that's what we all want to hear. Best song they've put out in probably 20 years.
Damn, just thought about it... Best song they've put out in 26 years!!
Andy Oliphant try 30
Andy Oliphant halo on fire was his best solo in a long time
Andy Oliphant Did you listen to anything off death magnetic?
billizkuel87 Yes, I grudgingly gave it a shot and did not like it. I didn't expect to like HTSD either, and actually didn't even plan on checking it out at all. Liquid Metal started heavy rotation of Hardwired and I thought "huh, that's the least worst thing they've put out in a while." Then they started playing Moth and it grew on me. Then SOTB blew me away, and I bought the record.
“Don’t write any riffs!”
*writes Kill ‘Em All sounding masterpiece*
Imagine having the power and the balls to say "That doesn't sound right" to James Hetfield
I don't know what's the big deal of that,he is a very talented musician but still a human being.
@@newman-tornado1007 you must be fun at parties.
@@LuisSilva-iq5is That's why I never go to any lol.btw,I see you're a brazillian as well,e aí man kkkkk.
Hes the sound engineer....thats kind of his JOB
@@bluecomet1109 It was a joke, of course it is
Who the hell dislikes this?! Metallica is back on their game and I'm fricken excited to have tickets to their show in Denver! Long live Metallica! 🤘🏻
Josh Atherton you're so lucky! I was going to buy tickets to the seattle show but they sold out fast
I'm seeing them in Seattle!
MegaCrasherMusic Show was amazing. Saw them in 2008 and they seem to get better and better!
FUCK YEAH sad I lived two towns away in Pueblo but didn't have the funds or a way to get there maybe next time
11:00 this with Robert is sooooo worth hearing and watching again and again over and over...Awesome just the best of the best.
6:20 still love that version of the verse. Hope they can apply it to another song
Lars seems like the mastermind behind every single song, it's him who is working all the time and is always looking to fix the song in a way and make it better, which is quite demanding. He deserves more recognition and appreciation.
Still watching in May 2020 remembering how we were ALL waiting for this particularly “Making Of” video to be released. 😎
He still has it in him! Hetfields vocals at 14:40! Oh hell yeah! \m/ \m/
Never lost it. The only reason he never pulls that shit live is that if he tried to keep doing that, he would lose it.
I love watching these guys work and make music, makes me want to play and start another band. Down to earth guys, cool that they are still working like this. Brings me back to the St Anger vlogs which is really enjoyed.
I want to be as happy when working my day job as Lars is when playing drums.
Hands down my favorite Metallica song ever. & I've been a fan since the beginning & no other song in their catalog hit & moves me like this song. Amazing! 👊
Metallica always satisfies the whims of their fans. And still, they gonna keep bitchin'
Lol
I read a comment a while ago. "No one hates metallica more than a metallica fan"
6:32
They got a picture of Charles Mingus on the top left hand corner of the whiteboard with a quote of his that reads, "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple."
14:44 “future supreme” sounds like classic Hetfield from the Justice era 🤘🏻
True, I wish it was included in the final mix
Sounds more like Load. The melody, especially.
3:26 Wonder why Lars started out so fast, seems like he started counting because he mistook Chi for some other, faster not released song. Maybe? Who knows
PooplexCanal more like hes saying "fuck i have to go fast", so he plays as fast as he can.
5:40 "...we can record it, we can put it on the record, *we can play it live*"
MetalBlade lol
EET FUK EET FUK DID YOU SEE IT 😍😍
3:42 Lars thinks he is a goldfish
Lmfao 😂
Not only is this song the best on the album it’s one the best they’ve ever created! I’d put it up with there with all their “classic” hits. It’s genius cause this song combines ALL the great elements of Metallica’s song we love. And James voice!!!! Especially the bridge section “Stop breathing and dedicate to me” Awwww classic and sooo damn good! This song is WAY underrated.
That bass with the distortion! ...so badass
Just imagine whole album like this song. But I still love the album so much
MAN OVERTHROWWWNN
bacon spit out the bone!!!!!
Isaac Santos Yeaaaahhh !
SPIT OUT THE BONE!!!
YEAHHG!!!
thhpit out thhhe bone
Metallica just needs to release another Lulu to give the haters SOMETHING to piss on
So nice!
4:26 Hetfield drinking Mate! thats give you all the energy! Vamos Argentina!!
Definitely made the world a better place...My Friday go to song \m/...Love this song...True Metal Gods...
Lars: "Don't write any riffs"
James: "OH MY GAAAAADDD!" (Writes a riff)😂
These guys are so cool. That one part had me laughing for like 10 mins😂😂😂
where's kirk? we dont see him much in these videos...
Vidar Nordgren slackin'
searching his phone
Frisch Regen
keep searching...
keep on searching...
Where is that phone...
Where is my cellphone...
CELL- PHONE PHONE PHONE PHONE
It`s kinda giving the impression he`s left out,rather than missing doing other things,and it`s not a good feel seeing this......
Vidar Nordgren The whole missing phone bit is BS. James said a while back Kirk was dealing with "life things" during this album's process, that it was his business, and he'll talk about it if he wants to talk about it. It's possible he went through rehab, therapy, or something similar.

The chorus, transitions, riffs, pausing, melodies/harmonies, they all meld into perfection. New metal bands take some FUCKING NOTES. Yes pausing matters! Transitions are so important! Good riffs come with good RideTheLightning distortion too!
I love that all these years later I can stumble upon something like this and enjoy it as much as I did. To me this is one of the best songs they’ve created in decades. Feels fresh, different and still Metallica. This is why they have been and will always be my favorite band. 🤟
4:37 tech: you can play but can't récord anything
Lars: don't wright any r-
James: (put the mate away) My gooood!!
(start riff charge)
1:53 you can tell how much fun they’re having here and it’s awesome, like they’re kids again
Such a badass song. Amazing to see the creative process
Eff all the Lars heaters. You can see how much he help shape the songs.
Insomniac Boxing no Metallica without lars
