Metallica: Creeping Death (Hockenheim, Germany - June 24, 2022)

[@kursatkaya8158]

That was insanely good. I've been thrown in front of James, got a pick from him, got a "I got you" gesture after I screamed at him "You saved my life", Kirk smiled at me and gave me 2 picks with another gesture.. A great night with just one blow, my bag is gone...

especially Creeping Death that shot at 3:28 , seeing the entire crowd just scream "DIE! DIE! DIE!" from above is so epic looking. Metallica know how to power the crowd and it's so awesome when a band does that, the crowd and the band give each other energy so the whole experience is better overall

[@dakotaward465]

I love that James has kind of picked up Jason’s old fry screams on “slaves” and “now” like Jason did back in 89’. It’s crazy how James’s is getting older but his voice range has gotten much better.

[@TopGun_-]

My first Metallica concert was 1989... AJFA tour... i first got hooked onto them in 84, but completely lost interest somewhere between AJFA and the Black Album. It was more fun being a part of that exclusive club when literally no one really knew or cared who they were. I was part of the loner club in. HS because everyone mocked me for listening to what they referred to as “devil worshiping music” back then. Wonder how many of those guys back then now regret thinking that way. 🤔

1984, a junior in high school, my friends and I would greet each other with a fist pump and scream "DIE"..

It is nothing short of mindblowing how Metallica were devastating their audiences back in 1984 during the prime of thrash metal. They never sounded tighter, I swear. Metal heroes never get soft, they just reload their guitars, basses, drums etc and go on the musical rampage we celebrate every time.

We all gotta admit that they have finally left their phase of sloppy liveshows behind. This is actually fucking good and the shows from the 2020s are energywise among the best of the past 20years

[@matthewmarois235]

The majority of the sloppy shows coincided with James falling off the wagon, unfortunately. I thought they sounded incredible when I saw them in 2017 on the Hardwired tour. Then a few months later James relapsed a bit and he was all over the place live. Went back to rehab and these current shows have been laser focused. Caught them last month at Boston Calling and they were excellent. Better than some of those late 90’s shows I saw when they were kind of a mess. Great to see!

[@GrandeJano]

@@matthewmarois235 Agreed. And apparently whenever James was in a bad state because of fighting (or even worse: procrastinating) his addiction, the other 3 seemed to adapt the bad aura and atmosphere and were not able to carry the band. Even better to see James' awesome shape these days. Dude looks healthy and powerful as fuck. 🙏💪🏻

Nah they've been really good live all the time with much much much energy. Ofcourse one better than the other but thats kinds normal. When he was in his drinking period the shows are even better because its more raw and thats metallica. Now they're extremely tight and still giving it all like they've always done.
