Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction to Miley Cyrus and Metallica “Nothing Else Matters” Live

[@gabrielpaulsmom]

She is going to be an icon of this generation. She literally can sing anything. Her voice is so unique not a cookie cutter like all the pop princes.

[@queent3343]

The lower register is thanks to vocal cord surgery.

[@susannepowell8914]

She is amazing ❤❤

[@under_N_over_it]

couldn’t agree more!

[@CMch22]

@@queent3343 She’s naturally an alto with an extended upper range. Vocal damage darkened her tone and added grit, but that happened to Stevie Nicks also and no one is trying to take her legitimacy away.

[@queent3343]

@@CMch22 She doesn't sound like an alto in her earlier years. And yes, the very low, raspy sound is from vocal cord surgery as it didn't exist before that. And yes, I agree, surgery doesn't change the fact that she is a great singer. It just changed her sound.

[@AgnesPerditaX]

She is not just some "pop princess" nor a "Disney baby", she is a mighty singer for sure. And very versatile one. Incredible.

[@robynfoster6371]

🤮🤮🤮

[@soniacruz8407]

Miley is amazing. She has performed covers with Billy Joel, and Elton Jhon. And many others. She is a great singer and artist. People underestimate her because of Disney and her wild days trying to shed the Disney image.

[@jeffk1482]

I have to agree with that. She has *real* talent. There must be something about Disney and that “squeaky clean wholesome” image they try to enforce that can be poison to an artist. Miley, by far, isn’t the first to struggle with that nor will she likely be the last.

[@dillonsronce2583]

I think she was best singing with Billy idol.

[@karenlehn2351]

She’s vulgar! She thinks we all need to see her body parts to stay relevant!🤮

[@troglodyte8791]

the rebel yell with Billy Idol was amazing good

[@blueyedmermaid1447]

She has a Stevie Nicks vibe.

[@biancatoscano2171]

Their will always be people stuck on Miley’s wild days and never see how good she really is

[@LarryDaHat]

Exactly. She is truly talented. If people hear this without knowing who is singing, they will appreciate it more maybe? Miley has such a unique tone to her voice so most people would recognise her voice straight away. So many singers that sound similar. Miley, Sia, Billie Eilish, Adele. All specialists and instantly recognisable. We need more rock collaborations.

[@primRose28-jtr]

exactly and that's so frustrating. nowadays mid singers are doing all kijda crazy stuffs nudity vulgarism and we don't bat an eye. but with miley- it's like she has to be dragged down forever

[@susannepowell8914]

Miley is fantastic! ❤❤

[@Totto87]

I was forced to listen to Miley at home due to lil sis being a huge Hannah Montana-fan. However her voice was good even back then, though juvenile, as well. I knew that Disney would fuck her up as they did most of that generation of girls but her voice man.. Always knew she had a special voice. Just gets better and better. More refined, more rough, more everything. I'm genuinly happy for her. Eccentric or not, she's genuine and her voice is unique.

[@djpixie84]

Exsactly...I didn't care for her for a long time, but once I took a minute to realize we all do dumb kid shit and really listen to her, and see her personality. She's a cool girl, and she's talented. She's not just her past crazy.

[@yvonneschlame8657]

Miley Cyrus is an incredible singer. She handles her voice like a master cratfswoman, I think few are as good as her. Always puts her heart in what she´s doing. I´m not surprised Metallica would do this with her. She´s really not your typical popstar, by any stretch

[@adsromek]

The 1973 hair and a man’s voice. Yasaaa…..this is a NO 🫣👎🏻

[@dianehartnett1945]

Wrong!! Talent is talent! Guess you are tone deaf or don't want to admit the truth!!

[@brookep3643]

@@adsromekI’m surprised you didn’t see how that style came back for a while. Also, her voice is like that because of smoke inhalation damage when her home caught on fire. What’s she supposed to do, have a pity party? Hell no - she’s a true star!

[@robertfenyk3132]

You said it, she’s definitely not a “pop star” she’s probably the best female vocalist out there right now ..Metallica are great too of course and props for them doing this with her:

[@brianforgie7724]

The lady can sing, she is a rock star. She has that thing, grabs your attention.

[@Trikipum]

yes, she sounds like a character of south park.. of course that will grab your attention lmao... come on...

[@JenniH-mj8vh]

Right she really sounds like that little black dog Tasmanian devil I think the breed. It was on a youtube clip with Ben Shapiro reacting. Miley talked then the dog garbled sounding EXACTLY like her it was wild.

[@nolaknowles9888]

She has a very Stevie Nicks-like voice to me. Now that she has relatively calmed down and started concentrating on actually singing, she is in a much better place.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Heard her sing with Stevie and it was incredible

[@kywildcat370]

Yes! I was definitely getting Stevie Nicks vibes on this one! ❤️

[@kimberlyhood-lester1450]

Agreed.

[@adamgray6862]

when she started singing i thought she sounded like Stevie.........wow this was amazing

[@PaulaValentine-pi6jp]

I thought the same thing! Definitely a Stevie Nick vibe.

[@jeffk1482]

No one was more shocked than I was…especially how damn well it worked. The interview portion was amazing as well. Elton John made an appearance, and blew Hetfield away with his comment about this song. Edit: “Hoooooo, Miley, makin’ a fan outta me!” Right?!? Words I never thought I’d hear myself say either, yet here we are.

[@nicod1361]

@@JohnReavesLive Sorry John, I would as most serious musicians and singers disagree with you ,that this actually does not work well at all, Miley is about as Metal as is Dean Martin, it's actually pathetic that Metallica would stoop so low to feel they needed someone like her to what ? boost their image ?, for me and many fans they have sunk to a new low

[@Cliohna]

@nicod1361 "as most serious musicians and singers disagree with you" "it's actually pathetic" "for me and many fans they have sunk to a new low" Try to speak for yourself. How about that? Btw: Do you speak to yourself that way, too? That's harsh. I'm sorry for you. You know, if you don't like it. That's fine. If you try to sell your opinion as more than it is by saying (with no evidence) "other people" don't like it as much as I do therefore I'm correct, basically. That is what is actually pathetic. There is obviously verifiably people that like it, including professional musicians like Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Chad Smith and Metallica themselves. Who are you?

[@nicod1361]

@@Cliohna haha as if those examples mean anything, if you bothered to read the reviews back then and the reaction from many other musicians and music commentators and "fans" of Metallica and metal fans in general you would know that I spoke the truth.

[@beccagriffin1769]

Miley is actually one of the greatest talents of our time. Criminally underrated artist.

[@JenniH-mj8vh]

If she's soooo talented why steal music from the greats? Quit lying to yourself. She ruined a good song with that dog voice and lack of talent.

[@JenniH-mj8vh]

What kind of talents? She can't sing, perhaps if she continues to write her own songs instead of remaking everything else because she lacks creativity? Cmon.

[@cavernsofdarkness]

If you haven't seen any of Miley's recent stuff (2017-present) I can see why this would be a big shock for you 😂Miley actually has a song featuring Joan Jett, and the entire era of her album 'Plastic Hearts' was kind of in that vibe. However, even years ago, Miley was putting out covers that really showed off this side of her voice and artistry, but she certainly has brought that image to the forefront in the last 6 or so years.

[@muuzikk]

Yes, she’s done Nirvana in her younger years. Can you imagine how she would sound now with that song. She sounded better than most of the female singers from the Nirvana tribute.

[@AndrewJAllan]

I just vibe with the fact she performs excellence while in evident bliss. She’s enjoys performing and I enjoy watching/listening. Marvelous rare nowadays. True love of music

I was such a nonbeliever the first time I decided to watch this. Miley rocked this for sure and if I understand, this was the first time they sang this song together. Miley had covered it at Glastonbury during her concert but here she is with the guys on Howard Stern. She’s got nerves of steel! Thanks John!

[@JenniH-mj8vh]

She ruined my youth by stealing this song. She ruined the song completely. Why couldn't she steal acdc songs she couldn't ruin those.

@@JenniH-mj8vh Miley didn’t steal this song,the guys invited her to sing it with them.

[@JenniH-mj8vh]

@jamiem494 they seriously allowed her to ruin beautiful poetry, that song was so beautiful and smooth growing up to it. Well then I'm sad an not angry. So is all the stuff she does now by invite? Either way it still proof that she lacks talent, if she can't do her own stuff. Please just forgive me, I'm sad and angry she ruined my favorite song. I told my boyfriend to read the words cuz it's exactly how I feel about him, and the og singer had such a soothing voice you could fall asleep to like a lullaby. This was nightmare to me, so I went off. Sorry.

[@ikerramossanchez3606]

If you want to see her singing rock, you should to watch the Chris Cornell tribute “Say hello 2 heaven”, or “nothing else matter”, “Black dog”, “I’ll take care of you” She did country too singing “Man of constant sorrow”, “New York State of mind” with Billy Joel. “Baby im on the mood for you😝❤‍🔥

[@lulabee384]

One of my fave performances of Miley’s was at the 2019 MTV VMA awards where she did the live version of “Slide Away“ she’s got some bad ass rasp/growl but is sooo in control of her voice. Her range is pretty mind blowing imo. I believe she is an old soul. 🙏💚

[@ellechristie1111]

YES! That performance was FIRE!

I've never been a fan of Miley but I remember when her version of Nothing Else Matters was released on Spotify, I instantly added it to my playlist. Her voice have changed a lot over the years and truth is her voice now really opens up doors to more heavy music genres - she got so much grit, soul and power now.

Miley is dope. Her voice got deeper and raspier after surgery on her singing parts. She slays 'Zombie' by the Cranberries.

I never cared for her music when I was younger, but I have grown to appreciate her vocal talents as I have gotten older. I also like the fact that she is introducing her audience with some other excellent musical talents that they may not have otherwise experienced/explored.

Im saying this as a rocker who was around to get GnR Appetite for destruction for my first cd when it was originally released and rock/metal has been my thing ever since, maybe even before that, . Miley is very talented, she just made a few iffy choices career wise in the past,
