Metal Drummer reacts to Metallica - Lux Æterna

[@olivierprovencher7060]

Everyone discussing Lars or Kirk's play, but can someone say something about James' voice ? The guy is incredible. About the only singer in the whole music industry who keeps on getting better with age. James Hetfield is the fine wine of heavy metal.

[@steves6756]

He's the most talented member of the band.

[@thatonemetalhead_666]

Honestly I prefer his rougher vocals. But objectively, yeah he does seem to get better. Does a pretty good job here, but I feel like it derails the whole Motorhead/diamond head vibe they have going on with the guitars and melody. Just my opinion ofc

Not delusional, most likely just comparing it to the standards of today. Had they made this song in the early eighties, it would be considered heavy as fuck.

Meh, people are going to bitch about this no matter what. Personally I thought it was great and if it turns a wider audience on to Metallica and the metal genres as a whole then surely that's a good thing.. right?

[@igormadeyski2946]

Personally I think this is a very well crafted tribute to their old "mentors", like Judas Priest and Motorhead: it's easy to detect some similarities with songs like "Overkill" and "Rapid fire", but they were able to elaborate these former ingredients and mix them with their own style.. In addition to this I would like to underline the high quality of both mixing and production, the sound is astounding..

Over in the guitar community, people are saying they don't like the solo. But that's fine..... for once, nobody's shitting on Lars, which is fucking great. For a shorter and more straightforward song like this, he played exactly what the song needed.

[@staticmonkey8436]

Yeah as a Guitar player I will say that solo is an absolute mess.

[@manks5491]

As a guitar player for 10 years, that solo is absolutely atrocious

[@kvltizt]

Hammet: *pentatonics with whammy/slide abuse*

[@TheJerseyNinja]

I like the solo. It’s not very technical at all, and it’s sloppy. But I have to compare it to HTSD and the solo is raw and angry sounding and fast. Great little solo to fill just a few measures in the middle of the song. Could it be better? Absolutely. But it really doesn’t sound bad at all. Sounds like a live solo but on an album which is cool to hear. And again, compared to HTSD, it’s great hearing Kirk play a solo like that again. It feels like he’s like FINALLY I can be released and just go wild with something. Not to mention, I really can’t fault Kirk for not being able to pioneer an iconic solo EVERY single song especially after SOOOO many songs they’ve made.

[@disaffectedmale]

There's so many better modern drummers out there, but most admit strong influence from Lars. This includes greats like Joey Jordison and my guy, the great Samus. Too boot, Lars's drum parts aren't always the easiest to learn! I remember many frustrating days trying to figure out his stuff. This was way before KZbin where you say, "Oh! That's how that fill goes." The previous generation presses the next to be better and that is a beautiful thing!

This song doesn't give me goosebumps and just blow me away, but it doesn't have to either. They've already done that 100 times over. They're 60 yrs old, still shredding out quality music and that's good enough for me.

And then they bitch about Lars. "He's so "sloppy". But on this song everyone is complaining "It's too clean". It's not him. It's a drum machine, he can't do those kicks live". Yes, playing live is different than in the studio. Live is a frikkin' marathon. In the studio you get multiple takes of the same parts, with breaks when needed. Endurance isn't a factor. What do they want? One take drum tracks that sound like shit, and then they can say "he sucks". Everyone is a critic yet 100% of them can't do what they do.

When I first heard this tune the other night I was kinda torn, as far as my initial impression. Now a couple days have gone by and I have found myself repeatedly going back to listen to it, over and over. The chorus where James screams the song title is everything in this track. That and the kick drums. But just the way James climbs the ladder vocally to belt out the chorus is such an amazing hook. This almost feels like a sorta power metal almost-but-not-quite Dokken-type vibe meets British new wave meets sped-up Load riffage meets a more polished version of Hit the Lights. It's gonna be a go-to live song (the lyrics kinda reflect that) and the song's energy and the boys' own energy are undeniable. I can't explain it, but all I know is my ear loves it. I'm very happy Metallica is back with new tunes and I'm also very happy they kept the album under wraps so now it's arriving soon - to MY mind - rather than them announcing it 2 years out and then us playing the waiting game. These old dogs can still hunt. 🤘🤘

I think they wanted to keep it short and sweet, energetic, powerful, sort of like an strong introduction song, and it feels fresh, simple and honestly exciting to me. Very impressed with the energy coming from this new, highly unexpected, new album.

Phenomenal song. Kill ‘em all meets Motörhead and Priest. James sounds great too

New Wave of British Heavy Metal and it sounds amazing. Lots of style from Motorhead to Merciful Fate, etc

Hell yeah! Fresh new old-school metal! My first time listening to this, i was alone in my car laughing, shouting, singing, emotional.
