James hetfield - Mama Said (Live on Later '96)

[@guilhermebfrasson]

R.I.P. Mama Hetfield...

[@oscardavidquinteroramirez1774]

Oooo😊

[@olegpugachev6785]

Потрясающая композиция, разрывает моё сердце на куски 😩😭😩😭😩😭😩

[@octzano]

Love him or hate him...James Hetfield is one very talented man

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Who could possibly hate him? He tries to get fellow musicians sober, he tried to find Morgan Harrington then vowed to bring down her murderer after she was found. He donated his music to 3 boys murdered and 3 other boys wrongfully imprisoned for it in the Paradise Lost documentaries and he is a loving husband, and father of 3 chiildren.

[@asiaa.1328]

Love him. All these years.

[@roncriswell2685]

Sam Loomis well said,a lot of people don't know about the stuff and the fact that him and the Metallica boys have been doing the make a wish foundation since the 80's because they do it from the heart and not for popularity.... Metallica is the goat of Rock & Roll/metal and I'll fight you if you say otherwise LOL\m/

This song is so criminally underrated and it's a shame they rarely play it live

[@slavetothecaffeine]

It makes sense, since its a song about his mother he lost to cancer..

[@СерёжаФлегматик]

Я думаю, Джеймсу очень больно её исполнять часто...

Rarely is an understatement. Only performed live 2 times, both in November 1996

Jason getting into the song. The guy LOVES James like a brother.

[@brandonjohnson3558]

James was a hero to him, even though Jason is older then James. “ the guy I respected the most disrespected me the most “ Jason Newstead. I feel for that guy.

[@FilipePT25]

I love this song ... The song is almost directly written about Hetfields' difficult relationship with his mother, who died of cancer. This song is awesome ...

[@jasonmartin7297]

This is a *perfect* rendition of an under-appreciated song.

[@srsfiter]

I think James Hetfield should do a solo acoustic album

@@davidpearson6346 more than the metallica fans stuff about that the first 4 albums are better, would be infuriating because he kicked out Jason for the side projects stuff.

[@houseovragnar1528]

@@fatimapalacios2292 So basically he can't change his mind and has to be bound by past mistakes? What if he got Jason to do it with him? Am I a hypocrite for changing my mind on many things in the last 15+ years? Are you? I am sure you have changed your mind many times since.

[@dead123456789]

I just played this song at my guitar recital yesterday. I got so lost in the music that I completely forgot I was on stage. Such a beautiful, beautiful song.

[@hulk8889]

Mama Said Mama, she has told me well Told me when i was young 'son, your life's an open book Don't close it 'fore its done' 'the brightest flame burns quickest' That's what i heard her say A son's heart owed to mother But i must find my way Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Let this heart be still Yeah, still Rebel, my new last name Wild blood in my veins Apron strings around my neck That mark that still remains Left home at an early age what i heard was wrong I never asked forgiveness But never said is done Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Let this heart be still Never i ask of you But never i gave But you gave me your emptiness i now take to my grave Never i ask of you But never i gave But you gave me your emptiness i now take to my grave So let this heart be still Mama, now i'm coming home I'm not all you wished to me A mother's love for her son Unspoken, help me be Yeah i took your love for granted Not a thing you said to me I need your arms to welcome me But, a cold stone's all i see Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Let this heart be still Let my heart go Mama, let my heart go Mmm ya(you) never let my heart go So let this heart be still Never i ask of you But never i gave But you gave me your emptiness i now take to my grave Never i ask of you But never i gave But you gave me your emptiness i now take to my grave Let this heart be still

[@Sweet9964]

This song really brings up a lot of emotion, it's an incredible song.

[@rockguitarfun]

"I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone's all I see.." such a sad lyric

[@MissionMetallica]

Emotional. Raw. Amazing. Touching. Expressing. Thrilling. Powerful.

BIt late of an answer but I agree, I see why they don't play it though, must be a really emotionnal song for hetfield

[@slavetothecaffeine]

@@Salad531 It is It's about his mother he lost to cancer..

[@omarvillarreal3850]

This track would've been absolutely perfect for S&M back in '99! I could hear a beautiful but sad orchestral arrangement which would've added even more emotion to the track! I absolutely love this live vocal & guitar version though! If Hetfield were to record a solo CD of acoustic material, I'd buy it!

[@mechanik]

i love my mom and i love this song

[@cbkirby6199]

Goosebumps. You can hear the pain in his voice. It’s a shame they haven’t played this song in (to my knowledge) over 20 years.

[@JohnDeMaria-i4h]

James is an Everyman in that he eventually became mature enough that he was able to bleed these emotions that he bottled away for so long. Load is a tribute to his awakening and some of Metallica’s diehard fans were pi**ed. That fact that he did it anyway is a tribute to what a badass he is.

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

James does an incredible job with the vocal talent he has. It isn't as soaring and effortless as Geoff Tate or the great vocalists of rock history but it he makes it work with aplomb.

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

Hardest working act out there. Put MetallicA and Elon together and we might solve some serious shit!

[@Dseraph1808]

Aplomb? Nigga been reading the thesaurus.

[@antonioanchiraico4542]

Los artistas completos es lo q hoy necesitamos, James cm le pone sentimiento al cantar sin perder los acordes y el compás, es muy díficil cantar y tocar a la vez y james lo hace son pocos los q hacen eso, grande James se q dedicaste este tema a tu madre q está en el cielo.. Lima Perú

[@LSweet2007]

[@LeFringe27]

[@jorgerodriguezsanchez8864]

i want to dedicate this beautiful song to my mom i love you so much

[@BkNy02]

I remember hearing snippets of this song across the internet in the late 90's and thought it was the greatest live performance from James ever. Since I was in the States I couldn't get to see this on tv and was desperately scrounging the Internet to get the full performance. Sure enough on a Metallica fan page had the whole song as a quicktime file. I felt like I found the Holy Grail. I quickly made a tape by recording from my speakers and saved the file. I listened to that tape non stop. Probably drove my family crazy. When the tape broke I just make another one. I think a year or two later I got a new drive that burns CDs and kept that file for years. I also shared the file on Napster and Limewire because it was so amazing. This performance is still on my playlist when driving to work decades later.

[@ioluca1924]

This was the peak of James real vocals coming out. Such a beautiful song ❤

[@blackarttommy]

Best version of this song!

[@anthonymcgauley5555]

This is beautiful

[@mattdad8429]

The studio version is hard to digest after being used to Leper Messiah or Fight Fire with Fire. But I dare anyone with half a heart to watch this and tell me the stripped down solo performance isn't a gut-wrenching experience. His mom died when he was a teenager. This is therapy put to music. If you still think this "isn't Metallica" then you don't understand Metallica.

[@MrParkerman6]

He wasn't a teenager, dumbass. She died between the black Album and load, idiot. He was in his 20s when Kill 'em All came out, fucking idiot.

@@angelotrendkill a lot of the band's reservations on side projects have changed a lot since the 90s, maybe Jason's departure was the catalyst for them becoming more liberal with regards to side projects

[@yobrethren]

IF ANYONE IS CURIOUS what's the message obstructing half the song, it's a historical reflection of times from the usual folk of Slavic countries! here's a translation: 2007: what i'd do with Tokio Hotel. See what happened? Long-haired fellas (metalheads) now play not long-haired music (not metal). After seeing it all, old school metalheads started changing their image. All ex-metalheads shave their hair - but Hetfield did it earlier. While after Tokio Hotel came to popularity Corey Taylor, Trent Reznor (Even Josh Homme shaved off some) cut off almost everything and poured ashes on their heads. They're just ashamed that TH (Tokio Hotel) bears resemblance to them. Please play James Hatfield - Mama Said. Thanks in advance.
