At least darkness didn't imprison him this time.

Lars is a F'king wicked drummer💯

[@beardedmike9232]

Ok

[@TheBassManJeff]

6:53 When he said "Landmine, has stanamahsai, givamasey, hearamahaireh, taykamastrafe, takemoutside, givaliloh, givamahsoul to seeeeeellllf" I really felt that.

[@willgomez8158]

That cracked me up🤣🤣☝🏼

[@AnnieErre]

This made me laugh so hard 😂😂

[@joelananthan]

Yes

[@gabeaviles1300]

It’s because he messed up the lyrics

[@irmak2260]

i cry laughed at this. idk what that means tho

[@panicoestatico9260]

The face and voice of James change a little when Howard was talking to him, i never see James like that before.

[@eldiego68]

Probably didn’t think Howard was gonna interrogate him about his childhood right before playing the song lol I’d be pretty shook as well

[@jamestheguitarslayer1195]

I think Howard said to much

[@Infantry2011]

Howard isn't the most sympathetic of guys lol at least not how he comes off

[@justincanady3977]

[@MetalMilita1996]

James's clean guitar tone will always be epic

[@jaredweed5060]

For real! EMGs!

[@slaxxxer]

Sounds like it did in 88

[@TheRealMtnDewMike]

I love his clean tone so much

[@caxapom]

It's not so clean. Enough chorus on it. Or/and some kind of flanger i guess. But sound really nice!

[@ShaggyThePunk]

1:26 the sudden change in James' face, holy shit man. Howard is very blunt and I respect that, but fuck me the guy DOES need to chill.

[@belanagy5595]

I almost cried at that moment :(

[@merrymonarch]

Let's keep it light!

[@inlakesh555]

2:08 James replied cleverly

[@sidneyalison8]

You can see his inner child in that exact shot.

[@goldenwolf8081]

It’s immediate he went from kinda smirking and okay to depressed and broken

[@andrewings5901]

I feel bad for James. He lost so much and Howard made him realise this song was actually all about him

[@germankostoff415]

Yeah!!. I could see that reflected in James's face

[@freafollingalianz]

Made him realise it so bad that he forgot the lyrics to a song he poate e literally a thousand times

[@fabricio2467]

that was just straight therapy

[@Eschelonistic]

I would not worry about it, it feeds the demon. James is one of the strongest in Rock and Roll for a reason. He thinks it all through without the rest of the rubbish.

[@TomPark1986]

It's fucking brutal.

[@8tonystark8]

Imagine leaving your son who became the musician legend...

[@isaacraid9975]

I think Eminems dad can relate to this

[@randomraisins7954]

“Hey James... Times are really hard now and... Uh I’m sorry I left... (No I’m not) How about a loan of $10,000?”

[@natebaker8125]

That’s the beauty of it. James probably wouldn’t have been without his dad leaving

[@Aron-ru5zk]

Can be said about half of all legendary musicians.

[@liamblack8786]

[@cyekill9997]

Must be easy to forget with so many song in mind

[@hrotha]

I don't mind the small screw-ups, but those three identical boring all-snare fills in a row at 6:00 were a bit too much

[@yeetfeet1878]

Lars didn’t mess up and even if he did it was just a cymbal hit. Trust me I play this song on drums all the time. Why do people always hate on lars you realize every single musician messes up right.

James forgot the darkness imprisoning me lyrics. Who cares. There’s no better song anywhere, ever. And he gifted it to the world. I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times, and not once without goosebumps. The gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, James, for touching the hearts and spirits of millions.

[@thehop639]

It seems to me more like he is taking the piss after being interviewed by a moron about the song

[@chriskelly2059]

Noooo!!! .... you're way off base brother?.... Because of Howard Stern? .... Howard Stern is loved by everyone!!! (Everyone cool & honest that is ) !!! WAY TO READ PEOPLE THO !😆😅🤣

[@andrewlee3037]

Thank you for saying such kind words about this song and acknowledging the performance! This song has truly been a gift to the world! such a beautiful thing to say ( because it is true!) and also another "thank you" is in order, because a 'purist' like myself notices too many things that probably should go unnoticed, yet we nay-sayers seem to always be armed and ready to dissect every note and syllable. ..*as i am about to do*...we notice things such as: the bass wasnt present enough, his backing vocals were non-existent, Lars started off too fast and appeared to want to just get it over with, James 'forgot' lyrics, but i think he was just too focused on and distracted by lars hastiness, and Kirk wore glasses to hide his eyes in shame as his solo was cut. From what i saw, this band is still struggling with their demons..regardless, it was still an amazing performance by one of the most amazing bands that are still with us.

How can you NOT love Metallica? They have a song for everyone.

[@LukeParsonsMusic]

James absolutely nailed how to forget lyrics with grace and style

[@rossmacrae8406]

Never heard Metallica claim to be the most technically gifted band yet, despite their heroic energy and amazing songs, they continue to be criticized for minor live errors. Shame, I just love everything they do and what they have done for rock/metal.

[@joshuanassir6487]

I started to appreciate them much more when I started playing guitar. While the riffs aren't technically proficient, it's damn good songwriting. The riffs are a lot more impactful and memorable than a lot of bands.

[@emanchuloo3390]

Right. Lars does not deserve all the hate that he gets too

[@naxedgt2053]

"Heroic energy" you diehard metallica fans are cringy

[@Zafersernikli]

They are legends not despite but with those errors.

[@lospiritodelcaleidoscopio6280]

Yes sometimes they do stupid mistakes for being professional musicians, but i like a lot their attitude, it is wild and free in musical expression. It's rare and spontaneous and that's for sure a force. In addition some of their songs are anthems and trash metal masterpieces, so i would not complain. I love them since i was kid, they are living legends in metal music. One is “one” of my favourite song from them

[@masonxavierparker]

Mind you, Howard airs from 6am-10am Eastern time, so they all likely had to wake up early for this set.

[@sawyer3623]

For real he was digging up trauma

[@EwgenijBelzmann]

I once made my mother cry with this song. I was a teenager and recently became a fan of Metallica. I loved the lyrics of One and read (or rather translated) them to my mother. She started crying because it reminded her of her mother, who died about 8 years before from brain cancer. The cancer made her lose her faculties one after another, she stopped recognizing my mother, stopped speaking, lost her hearing and ability to move before dying. And the song brought it all back for my mother. This was all over 20 years ago and I still remember it.

[@bigfloppa3835]

damn i didnt notice that

2:14 Personally, I’m not a sentimental person at all; but there are a few songs that at least get me to the verge of crying. This is one of them. Specially the official video version of the song, with the extra scenes and dialogues: -What’s he saying? -Kill me. Over and over again. “I don’t know if I’m alive and dreaming or dead and remembering”

And I can only imagine how hard it actually is for James himself, as the person writing 4 of these songs, and as the person who these songs are about, how difficult it would be for him when he plays. And I mean here we just saw he messed up part of the lyrics of a song he’s been playing for what? 30, 30+ years?

See at 6:01 James is getting emotional and controlling that he will not shed tears while performing this song. He tries to divert by looking at lars and he keeps smiling. Some of you guys just commented that he forgot or he did completely destroy.. it's not that actually. he's being emotional here. You have to respect that and try to imagine if you are James Hetfield given the same situation what would you feel in that moment when someone catches the concept of that song? James you're the best.
