HIGHEST Notes James Hetfield Sang In Metallica

I’ll still upload ytps but every so often I’ll also do these types of vids

[@yash1140]

Its crazy how most of these belong on 72 Seasons, James is vocally at his best right now, when most other sings completely exhaust their vocal chords by his age

[@bennyboy1240]

personally i think in death magnetic he had peak vocals bc he was able to hold notes longer

[@bennyboy1240]

in 72 seasons it just sounded like james ran out of breath when he sang

[@vergil2067]

@@bennyboy1240Well, he was 15 years younger on Death Magnetic.

[@svenheuseveldt7188]

i think load is best

[@KenKopper]

I actually think his best was AJFA and The Black Album. Just my personal opinion. He'll always be my favorite lead singer

[@fabriziomolina1173]

he sings lux aeterna live but refuses to play eye of the beholder, unbelievable

[@skullcandy5411]

Well Eye is probably the least popular song on Justice which happens to be twice the length of Lux and is almost 40 years old. While Lux was the lead single on their newest record that came out less than a year ago. It makes sense lol

[@maxlu9373]

They don’t play it because Lars doesn’t like that song and he makes the setlists

[@chief8825]

Or sweet amber😢

[@PiercesTrains716]

Where is hit the lights?

[@cringecentral_]

Fry scream, hard to determine which note it is

[@MKDumas1981]

C5

[@DEPTH27]

Fr his range goes so high on that song

[@juggerhuevo]

That part in the unforgiven III is so clean, his best vocal part ever sung imo, its technically impressive too bad death magnetic is underrated af

[@unleashthebloodthirst69420]

72 seasons had his best vocal tone besides justice.

[@sir_nicholas4796]

Agreed

[@oliverafton1444]

Well... i can say that Load, Death Magnetic and Master Of Puppets had a better vocal tone than Justice For All

[@dantredogborsa7048]

​@@oliverafton1444 err... are you deaf?

[@NoTDeD99]

I reaaaally like Black Album and And Justice For All vocals. But maaaan, 72 seasos vocals is something else, James aged like a fine Wine. Cant say that about Kirk and Lars....

[@EAK1437]

I think the biggest contributing factor to Kirk declining is that he has really bad arthritis

[@NoTDeD99]

@@EAK1437 Definitely a fact. But I think technically he still a good lead guitar, but lacks a ton of creativity.

[@MKDumas1981]

"My Apocalypse" was an A4. "Bleeding Me" was an Eb4, but he hits Ab4 at the highest.

[@MedianNest]

why isnt trapped under ice on this? his vocals are frigging nuts on that song

[@r2anura160]

in one of the 1983 cliff em all video while they were playing hit the lights or something james hit a pretty high note

[@DEPTH27]

Hit the lights?

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

The highest note James ever sang is at the end of the bridge of “Of Wolf and Man”….the “and seek the wolf…” part. There’s this fucking scream at the end of that just before it kicks into the chorus. It’s in his whistle register, like “Metal Militia” but more powerful, more resonant and deliberate.

[@MKDumas1981]

Bb4. It goes into the chorus riff, which starts on a B to Bb power chord.

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

@@MKDumas1981 Nuh-uh its way higher, he fucking whistle screams. So probably in that 6th octave. It's not HELD or vibrato'ed, so I'm not going to say James owns a 5 octave voice, but it's his highest note for sure.

[@MKDumas1981]

@@UseTheSupeRsonic: I'd like to hear the isolated vocal. Someone is howling, yes, but I'm pretty confident that James is singing a Bb4. Not even the highest note, as "Bright", "We", and "call" in the second verse are all B5s.

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

@@MKDumas1981 you’re on something totally different man. Listen to 3:36 of “Of Wolf and Man” that scream. That’s JAMES and it ain’t no Bb4. There’s nothing in those verses thats a Bb4 dude. He’s in chest the whole time. A Bb4 would be full-on mix voice, like Sammy Hagar high.

[@moderusprime]

How you gonna leave out the high notes he hits on Mercyful Fate Medley?

[@MKDumas1981]

Bb4 is the highest, but there are a lot of Ab4s in that medley.

[@trevorclark7985]

Nothing from ride the lightning or kill em all? definitely some really high notes on there

[@bennyboy1240]

ye but they would’ve been unmeasurable from how high they were

[@boredcloaker]

​@@bennyboy1240like in Ride The Lightning when he goes "Oh please god help me!" When screaming, is basically unmeasurable

[@zxck.parrIG]

@@boredcloaker That's in One not Ride The Lightning lol Edit: GUYS I UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S IN BOTH SONGS NOW YOU CAN STOP CORRECTING ME LMFAO 💀

[@danielabdo6304]

@@zxck.parrIG nah that's ride the lightning, you trippin

[@boredcloaker]

@@zxck.parrIG no in One he goes "Oh god help me" in RTL he screams "Oh please god helpe me"

[@vindicatorschannel7136]

I feel like James has these high notes in the more recent albums, mostly Death Magnetic and 72 Seasons. There was some stuff from load and a bit from Justice with a pinch of St Anger, but most of it was from the new stuff.

[@Paniek_Zaaier]

Invisible kid last chorus b4

[@JPToon]

frantic is a d5

[@MicajahVickers2002]

What about the house jack built and metal militia?

[@drakeface4108]

What about No Leaf Clover? James also hits a pretty high note there.

[@Vladislav_Postnikov]

Autotune

[@LostWisdom_]

​@@Vladislav_PostnikovIt's not autotune. He can hit those notes. It's just Pitch Correction.

[@Vladislav_Postnikov]

@@LostWisdom_ Agree!

[@oliverafton1444]

​@@LostWisdom_Some of the worst pitch-correction that you can tell, it sounds so goddamn artificial

[@MKDumas1981]

Bb4 ("With" in first verse, "soo-" and 1st and 3rd "comes" in outro ). Bb4 glissando to B4 (2nd "comes" in outro)

[@Necro-s]

Can you do something similar with Halford or Dickinson?

[@aviralbajpai4208]

Isn't the metal militia one the highest?

[@VincentiusTheSecond]

classic. live in 2013 (Orion I think) James hit an insane high note at the end I never heard before 🫡

[@paramo_c9318]

Damn I was waiting for phantom lord lol. Nice video tho 😎

[@Rickyy-nx1oi]

I think he also hits a B4 on the chorus of Halo on Fire

[@popcornfan6329]

No Leaf Clover ?

[@speen19]

The note on Bleeding Me is only an Eb 4, not 6. His falsetto tone makes it sound an octave or two higher but it's not

[@owenpeck4857]

Where Phantom Lord?

[@sancamilobad]

Room of Mirrors has a higher note just before the last melody the last time he says "insane"

[@MKDumas1981]

A4.

[@aidangroves]

Where's metal militia?

[@drumtum81]

Why does Beyond Magnetic sound like a polished demo tape?

[@Sofistdm]

Cuz it was just EP, the way that make different from Death Magnetic

[@natmilcur]

Cause thats exactly what Beyond Magnetic was

[@colonel_koopa]

what abt stuff from the first 3 albums, the four horsemen has some really high notes

[@user-GogiEshzhi]

In Frantic E5

[@lightningmonky7674]

Doesnt he go pretty high in no leaf clover too?

[@eduardohuexotitla2799]

Para mi, el Death Magnetic es el mejor álbum de Metallica desde el And Justice for All, regresaron al thrash clásico, con un poder impresionante, de ahí han sido constantes pero ese regreso fue épico.

[@juggerhuevo]

Es una joyita del metal sin duda, lo malo es que hasta el st.anger tiene mejor sonido que ese album sino fuera considerado como la secuela del justice de seguro ,mucho nivel y riffs brutales en el death magnetic

[@PicadorCriminal]

A mí me parece súper aburrido ese álbum la verdad, quisiera poder agarrarle el gusto

[@HeavyRaiden]

DISCAZO, nunca me canso de repetirlo, uno de sus mejores discos. Obra maestra incomprendida.

[@luisagudelo8823]

@@PicadorCriminal entiendo que no sea de tu gusto pero el álbum tiene joyitas como All nightmare long, my apocalypse, the day that never comes. Deberías darle otra oportunidad

[@PicadorCriminal]

@@luisagudelo8823 Lo haré, la última vez que lo escuché entero fue hace como 2 años y como digo no me agradó para nada, sobretodo teniendo en cuenta sus albums clasicos anteriores, desde el "kill em all" hasta el "black album" me parecieron impecables, pero lo voy a escuchar de nuevo para darle otra oportunidad, tal vez logren gustarme por lo menos 1 o 2 canciones
