Was the brace on James's left hand a bandage after the accident in 1992?

[@nikitaind62]

+Metallic Ultron He covered the burn marks. Check on google what burns do to the skin, you'll sure want to hide them

[@BlackenedJustice]

I know I'm 2 years late with this reply lol but James had to cleanse and redress his hand everyday and wear an elasticized net glove on his hand for 6 months to minimize the scarring on his hand

@@BlackenedJustice I know I'm 3 years late but I'd think he was done doing that by the time of this show, considering this was almost a year after he got burned.

[@vader97100]

Fade to Black is a beautiful song, but somehow metallica screws it up alot, notable ones would be: 1. Pyro accident that ended the show (1992) 2. James messing up the lyrics (2004) 3. James failing to switch guitar tunes (Rock in Rio) 4. Kirk's guitar issue (Seoul 2006), well... actually that one made the song sound better with the longer intro

[@tozzatom8475]

you've named 4 instances in which they've fucked the song up live. yet they've probably played it on more than 1000 occasions. doesn't seem fair for you to have used the words "a lot" in there.

And Fade to Black is Jason's last performance song

[@rattlehead999]

they've played Fade To Black 1095 times live and out of the almost 1100 times 4 are nothing.

[@LinkVelasquez]

Crazy Psycho bro. how long did it take you to do that.

[@rattlehead999]

Link Velasquez take me to do what?

[@Teddy8709]

@Ramos022 Because it got burned up when James got engulfed in flames in Montreal. He does have a new one, I seen it on youtube from the latest tour, made by Ken Lawrence.

[@brackimus]

3:02: nice fill Lars

[@svenred6eard757]

Kirk can never get the Dimebag squeals!!! Imo: Metallica were at their peak of live performances around this time- early 90s. Yes, with Mr. Newsted. Apart from Cliff, he was the best bass player for Lars...who is an annoying drummer who tends to speed up. Newsted would keep Ulrich in check, and keep him tighter. Trujillo does not do this. If Lars is allowed to go up his own ass, then he speeds up.

[@cdoutdoors8207]

I think he got nervous about the flames and started playing faster because of it

[@nekbru2999]

You can really hear tiredness here in James voice...too bad that voice can change soo much over the years.

[@knightfall9394]

Think about how much they toured from 91-93 i think that would explain it a great deal

[@bandolierboy1908]

he was sick during this show

[@AniW2x4]

Isaac White not to mention he was also exhausted.

What is im watching james with double exploler

[@obadala]

I was 12 days old when this concert took place

[@Itachifan186]

@MrTheEdrybobzeela The crowd wasn't silent. The show was recorded directly from the band's microphones/amps. Basiclly what you hear from the crowd I believe would be anything that coems through the microphones.

[@peytong4819]

I love this song

[@Gamez4Lif3]

Hey Satriani used it all the time aswell... i don't hear you complaining about him? Or even Dimebag Darrel did use it alot aswell...

[@agustingarcia5366]

what happened to James voice its sounds like he's losese his voice

[@shokid]

2+ years on the road by the time of this show, 2 1/2 hour shows, it's hard on a singer, no matter who it is. People forget the massive touring they did for that album, plus he blew his voice out during the recording of the black album.

[@RickGrimesS5]

His voice started to die around 1993 (he had a few good shows in 1994) and at the end of 1995 and the beginning of 1996 he had is voice back, he lost it again in 1997, and his voice in 1998/1999 was awesome again not really the same as the black album but kinda raspy too, in 2000 i don't know what happend but he sounds like shit again, 2003 well i liked his voice there too it reminds me of his black album voice en his 1999 voice. But after or before 2003 he stopped drinking alcohol, and his voice became higher en weak. 2004 was his weakest year imo. and 2008 was a great year too for james, his voice sounded like his 1999 voice, and in 2009 he started singing clean again, and in 2012 he got his grit back but he lost it again in 2013. and now in 2016 he sounds awesome. James has some rasp back

[@shamicentertainment1262]

+RickGrimes41 Did you study james voice in school or something lol

[@Jarnevc]

He was realy sick at this concert

[@jhonrusev8875]

The 12string guitar is awesome

[@mattdad8429]

This is the gig where James ripped the compression sleeve off his burned hand to reveal a metal endoskeleton shrouded underneath.

James had a pyrotechnical accident before this show

[@sam8404]

No, that was almost a year before this show.

[@Vmt16]

What´s that on his neck at 4:17. The thing on his hand is from the pyro accident in august '92, but he never had anything on his neck.

You don't hear the crowd because they are not being loud! This is Switzerland after all. The Swiss are very reserved people. They may jump around a lot but they are just not very vocal.
