Jason was the best Bassist Metallica could ever have dreamed of. He was loyal, had the pure energy and awesome playing and singing skills. What a shame how they treated him.
@@ronnydittrich2181 stop with the oh Metallica treated Jason bad cry me a river bs. They didn't treat him bad. He got hazed in the beginning when they were in their mid 20s because imo they didn't properly grieve cliffs death they just kept going which was good for their career overall but bad for them as individuals. They're human people make mistakes but this whole Jason got treated terrible narrative is just wrong. They were actually good friends for most of that time and in the early 2000s they were in a bad place. James was in a bad place. But he didn't treat Jason real bad or anything the way people make it out to be. It was unfair that he expected Jason not to do a side project when he isn't allowed to contribute much into Metallica but again people are human and make mistakes and James is a diff person than he was 20 years back. People really over exaggerate this shit it's like a TH-cam internet trend I've noticed.
There are three great things about this - Firstly, James is a total pro and the performance didn’t suffer. Secondly, Kirk really stepped up and totally walked through that like a trooper. And lastly, I miss this band...THIS band. I’m reminded of what they used to be and it’s a good feeling.
Jason's such an amazing performer immediately picks up James is having troubles and runs right to the mic to cover for him to allow the mess to get sorted out.
They were all amazing did you watch the same video? Clearly they all stepped up and got through this pretty well they all deserve credit not just Jason.
@Lil' Ike I don't recall saying anything about anyone else in the band? It was a compliment to the bass player they drove away with they're upmost professionalism. They sure stepped it up when they drove him away from the band too. Jason's presence in that band will be forever missed. Rob could never fill the shoes jason did.
Best performance of this song I've ever seen!! Het's frustration adds some genuine rage to his vocals...total beast mode. The tempo is perfect...faster than usual. Newsted's backups and harmonies (even on a thrash classic like this) are so choice! He was the best. Het slamming down the mic at 3:15 is epic. Huge props to whoever filmed & caught this classic moment!
Michael Angelo H. When you're in the elite status as Metallica, you expect no fukups. Especially the money they pay to the techs to produce audio at its peak. So yea, I'll be pissed to.
Thanks for mentioning someone other than Jason everyone else here is like it's the Jason show or something lol. Kirk nailed the rhythm parts and deserves proper credit too
It’s like George Burns and his cigar. Long after he quit smoking he was so used to have that cigar with him on stage if he didn’t have it his performance was off. Or Ron White and is glass of Whiskey
It is tbh. You should of seen him when he was singing the Unforgiven 3 with the San Fransisco Symphony without his guitar he was just standing there and looked kinda awkward lol but besides that it was a great performance 🤘
It's much easier to sing when you're not playing guitar at the same time too. Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge suddenly gains more detail when he drops the guitar
Actually it was before that. He started feeling strained at the end of the Justice tour and then blew it out during the recording of So What in 1990. So several months of vocal therapy and lessons before he could sing while they were making TBA.
The best James moment was in Dallas around 82 or 83 , James stopped in the middle of a song and wanted to start over because he forgot to hit a pedal .
28 years ago, I can’t believe it! I was friends with a guy who worked for Metallica, that tour they came to town and I was on a band that played a lot of their old stuff. Me and my bassist met Lars, Kirk and Jason at a club in east St. Louis, hung out with em all night . The next night had comp tickets and backstage passes, it was epic. To think that was 28 years ago, and today, I’m still on a band that plays their older stuff.... seeing those fans in the snake pit brought it back man....
Dude imagine if we still played music during war like in 1700's. In 1993 just have mtallica playing while at battle, for whome he bell tolls or creeping death! Edit: No one likes war, this isnt to be taken seriously just a joke : ). Metallica is anti-war.
I totally agree that would be badass, I'm a French and Indian war reenactor and a metal head. So when I hear the cannons, muskets, and fife and drum I imagine that it was 1700s Metallica playing us off to battle!
Man, what a video! What a precious masterpiece of history document this is! The lyrics on the song says "Late at light the systems go and you've come to see the show"... So what better song than this for when the systems have gone bad?
Yeah he fuxken would have. He was a mega wanker and when James was burnt in Montreal Axl could’ve been the hero of the night. In true Axl style has a hissy fit and then it was on at the show. Selfish, self absorbed little child that behaviour was. No wonder the Gunners broke up. Slash and Duff McKagan were the ones cheated and done over by Axl Rose. His a real arsehole in my opinion. I always use to say to people MetallicA are the better band.
He was getting his cues from James.. usually Jason singing is cued with james riff changes, since james wasnt playing any riffs he was trying to get his cues from James singing.
Total pros!! Hetfield is a beast working through that mess. You would never know unless you saw it on video. Thanks for the upload. Much respect to this band at this time. Amazing!
That was monteroius mighty vocal. The Master of heavy metall world of all time. All other metal bands toghether are not equal to METALLICA and Master JAMES HETFIELD!
Damn. I realised How much the bass drives this song by listening to this gig. Cliffs part is really Well written and that Jumping from one string to another is hard as fuck for me. Props to J for riffing that shit he reallly was the best replacement possible

I find it funny how james feels so unconfortable singing without a guitar that he even got the broken one to not feel awkward
That's what happens when you do both extensively together for so long, one feels weird without the other.
It’s like George Burns and his cigar. Long after he quit smoking he was so used to have that cigar with him on stage if he didn’t have it his performance was off.
Or Ron White and is glass of Whiskey
its fucking hilarious
He probably did but it also seems like he kept on trying if it'll work again
It is tbh. You should of seen him when he was singing the Unforgiven 3 with the San Fransisco Symphony without his guitar he was just standing there and looked kinda awkward lol but besides that it was a great performance 🤘
God the bass and Jason’s intro is amazing. Plus Kirk carrying the song is killer too. Whoever captured this is crazy lucky.
That “we’ll never stop we’ll never quit cause YOU are metallica” is epic after all the troubles
He could actually concentrate fully on his vocals as he's not playing guitar at the same time, that's why it sounds beast!
Helped that he was super pissed about it too
That's exactly what I thought. He's pissed off but also without the guitar he has extra energy. 🤘🤘🤘
This is how they do it with studio recordings too obviously.
