Jerry Cantrell ''the master of voice harmony''

i think the same hahaha is a genius

[@sadhappy8860]

Isn't he, love him

[@jason.h.zager88]

so true

[@ozoneswiftak]

Except he was giving the same note a kurt. At the beginning. Very disappointing.

[@JLRChiv2]

This happened? Omg no way. Jerry & James NEED to do an album together one day.

[@sheljane81]

I think they will one day. I also think DIME and Jerry would have by now if he was still alive. Those two were close.

[@lukebryde594]

@@sheljane81 I wish Jerry could have gotten James to be a part of his solo record and not uhhh Greg Puciato.

[@markusell123]

Metallica should do more concerts like this, rare songs, full songs, featuring known people in Metallica history. That's the shit we like and that's the shit we want.

Jerry Rules

[@alz1997]

I got on the computer to do homework. *15 minutes later* Here I am XD

[@josemclovin]

metallica shoulda picked jerry cantrell to do a side project instead of lou reed

[@ssherrierable]

Sounds cool but the only problem with that is Jerry would have to pick them back.

[@fallinghausen2707]

No...cause the universe cant stand that much awesomeness. Die you ever wondered why great bands spit? Not because of personal stuff or lack of creativity, no. Its because of the very reason our universe doesnt like to explode again.

[@soberek]

The little harmonics at 2:57 are just fucking beautiful. Classic magic moment.

[@wirtentier]

I think it's funny that AIC ''fans'' say ''jerry shouldn't hang out with these guys, james made a childish joke in 94' ''. The sole fact that they DO hang out should shut up a lot of people. Think about it, why would he even be there if it would bother him.

[@PHVNT0ML0RD81]

My thoughts EXACTLY, And I'm a huge fan of both Metallica and Alice.

[@PiazzaGurl]

Jakob Winter Word. it was in 94. And James has admitted that he used to be very closed minded about a lot of bands in the late 80s and 90s and he harshly criticized them. As he got older he began appreciating the fact those bands admired his and learned from him. And you right being around Jerry and hanging with him says a lot. Says it's past them, so I agree with you. Why are people holding grudges for other people? lol.

[@camtheham13]

James was far from the first and I doubt he will be the last one to make an ignorant comment that they later regret

[@austinwinter4575]

Hey jakob we share a last name haha, long lost brother?

[@peoplevsradio317]

Jakob Winter they are good friends...u bringing it up is dumb. It is a passive aggressive way of starting arguments and drudging up past negativity. Just move on... That statement could legally drink it is so old.

[@p0pr0ck3t]

They should've had Jerry on guitar, too!

[@thatonekid30]

james solo is so perfect. its simple. its efective. it sticks to your short and long term memory.

[@jamesparcus7809]

This is my favorite song

[@mrmoakley]

Jerry is an awesome lead guitarist and singer as well. Why wouldn't they allow him to play the lead guitar part or solo in the song, or at least sing one of the verses?

[@90skidwithaguitar]

My exact thoughts. He's not doing anything.

[@darkriff777]

Jerry gets invited to play a lot by his friends from various bands. Imagine if he had to fully learn all their music.

[@StoneRobiStone]

I think it's because Jerry is also a great singer and Metallica, being as awesome as they are, wanted to highlight that.

[@VBshredder]

@@darkriff777 bingo

[@SilverchairGuitars]

Probably had the option but chose not to

[@bachokintsurashvili]

I'm with them for 14 years (now I'm 21 years old) and I am going to listen to this band, even when I die from georgia.

[@TheDjhavikk]

anyone else love the way that "ghost" hammer on-pull off/slide sounds at the right moment?

[@TaraPregs]

Love Jerry...Jerry can only improve upon already fantastic things. His very presence there is something!

[@TaraPregs]

@Skip R lol 😆 this made me laugh...

[@labbinante07]

Great performance always good to see Jerry doing his thing hes a great singer and lead guitarist they should've had him on guitar as well

[@lanne71]

Such a great song!

[@midnightmystery544]

This is a special moment.

[@Ticonderous1]

Jerry must be pissing himself with laughter inside, listening to Lars butcher his own song , all the while thanking God that he has Sean Kinney as his drummer .....

[@KZ3fps]

Lars and Jerry are very good friends, he's probably more thinking "Man I need to have a talk with my bud about his drumming skills"

[@mjf5382]

Probably not loser.

[@ratiiir]

what? I couldn't find a single mistake in this song, he pretty much plays it as well as anyone could

[@jaspersmuck330]

@@ratiiir if you play metallica songs side by side 30 years ago to now, lars has gone hill

[@Greasemonkey1982]

@RoomNineOhTwo I didn't think of that. I'll go with that. Since it was another three years before my buddy passed away I'd have thought it was him now that you mention it. But yeah I could see Cliff doing something like that from what I've learned about him through what his friends have said about him. Thanks man. That just made my whole day.

[@samstoner4984]

Love jerry

[@rufus566]

Most of the complainers are new fans who try to get cred by mouthing off, or were not a fan in the 80s and wished they lived through the classic era. I have lived and breathed classic Metallica for what 30 years now, and now I am digging the new stuff. I am sorry those people were born to late to enjoy it when it was new, but I want to hear what Metallica is doing next, not do a rehash of Justice. As long is it is heavy, well played and does not have the word Load in it, I am happy!

[@Fearofthedark29]

Jerry wrote most of Alice's Music, even today he does. Jerry is the soul of Alice In Chains, you may disagree with me but it's cold hard fact. Jerry wrote most of the Music while Layne wrote most lyrics but Jerry has a beautiful voice to harmonize, I still think Jerry is the master since he is the soul of Alice.

[@s0ulfire]

James played the original solo! Wow haven't heard that ever live !

Wonder if Jerry ever addressed James takin a shot at Layne.

[@mikeallen748]

I've wondered the same thing. I think it was pretty shitty, myself.

[@fernandoluzardo5962]

un exelente musico jerry sino el mejor,,pero lamentablemente su sueño de triunfar en la musica acabo con layne, Y de hetfield prefiero no hablar, De una persona q se dedica a burlarse de desgracias y a matar animales por diversion no se merece ningun respect.

[@drewflanagan4296]

+Chris Backhaus Fun fact - Lars named one of his kids after Layne

[@LostCause36]

That was a bullshit edited video of James taking a shot at Jason Newstead for writing a don't they performed. The fans loved Jason but knew the band gave him a lot of shit. Someone edited it to stir up shit. Look up the actual video of James saying "he's cooler than we all thought". Jerry and James have been friends for decades.

[@Ternaldius]

The album "Death Magnetic" and song "Child of Babylon" are both dedicated to Layne as well.

[@bchow398]

Here is an even better notion. Why is this conversation only about Metallica and no one else? Also, you can go anywhere you want in KZbin. It is not fed to you like TV. So you have to come here to say these things about Metallica. That means Metallica is their favorite band after all. Whether they realize it or not!!!

[@HAFSAOUIBillel]

No actually he has an invisible guitar ...

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

@metalikaz Yes, I was mistaken. I was thinking of that footage of James playing it by himself on the Year and Half DVD. Anyway, I think he SHOULD play the intro because it's his song. Kirk never played a note on the actual recording.

[@luchboxer]

@kaworu1983 es cierto, pero me referia a si figura fisica, no fue hace mucho que hicieron la gira de black gives way to blue y no se veia tan mal... hasta lo veo un toque subido de peso. jerry es alguien que igualmente voy a respetar siempre, creo que es uno de los mejores compositores de estos ultimos 20 años y alice in chains es una banda excelente

Funny true story...At my wedding in 2005 my wife and I were supposed to do our first dance. It was supposed to be an Eric Clapton song. It started to play and then bllurrrp Nothing Else Matters from S and M came on. I thought my wife had played a joke on me and she thought I'd payed the DJ to do it. I'm a huge Metallica fan and anyone who knows me knows it. My family kept asking me if that was on purpose. The DJ didn't know what happend and to this day we still don'tk know.

[@YannTremblay24]
