Reaction to Miley Cyrus and Metallica “Nothing Else Matters” Howard Stern - Metal Guy Reacts

[@mr.anonymous.2749]

I don't understand why everyone hating on miley, she is so damn versatile and talented. 🔥She doesn't deserve all the hate she gets.

[@itsonlysound]

I think its because of the way she was marketed for so long. Her team wanted her to be the next pop princess but it never really fit who she was, so people misunderstood her for the longest time. They couldn't see past the 'image'.

[@Cookie4811Mau]

@@itsonlysound You worded it perfect. She'll always be "Hannah Montana" to some people.

[@jamesredman1263]

I think more of it comes from her attempts to break out of the Hannah Montana image (which series I found smarmily obnoxious BTW). She, or her handlers, went for sexual sensationalism which brought out the perfect storm of body jealousies and puritan rage. And well, extreme it was. Twerking in such an overt way positioned in front of a male singer who was mortified to be there and swore never to share a stage with her again. Doing Wrecking Ball in the nude. Et cetera, so on and so forth. She said it was to call attention to her music. But it had the opposite effect, eclipsing her talent instead. And she IS a real talent. I liked this a lot. And look forward to see what she will do from here.

[@stephenmaniloff8493]

Zombie is a great cover. Years ago she did Dolly Parton's Jolene which is amazing. She also did Blondie's Heart of Glass recently too. Really a ton of great covers if you look for them.

Wow I'm just blown away by the difference I see on the Instagram and KZbin comments section. On youtube, almost every comment I've seen has said that she did an amazing rendition of the song. On Instagram (on the Metallica's official page) all the comments are saying that "she butchered the song", that it was "the biggest piece of shit" they've heard. Honestly even if you don't like her music, credit where credit's due, she pulled off an amazing performance.

[@MetalGuyReacts]

I agree Cristhian! I think she did a stellar job! It’s most likely such hardcore Metallica fans that can’t see what’s good here. Sometimes we get so stuck on the original version of a song , that we can’t see a cover for its beauty. I really try to keep an open mind about every song I listen to. Even if it’s not a genre I would normally listen to, or a performer I would normally listen to. Everybody deserves a chance to be heard with open ears.
