Anybody with depression can relate and fully appreciate this song. When I am feeling really depressed I somehow find my way to this some and it makes me feel better. Thank you Metallica for this kick ass song. The acoustical beginning is so damn powerful.

This concert was in support of a wonderful charity here in Toronto, The Daily Bread Food Bank.

Life it seems to fade away Drifting further everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me but now, he's gone No one but me can save myself, but its too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye Goodbye

Kirk is killing it!!!

[@benchampion1709]

Dan Moscato people give him such a tough time for being sloppy on the occasional time but he is a quality guitarist

[@the92project]

+Ben Champion i love Kirk, i grew with his licks but we must be honest that he is not really great, he has a unique vibe but he is very limited. The best work he ever did was in the black album because bob rock couldn't stand his sloppiness and made him work his ass off. Watch a year in the life

[@benchampion1709]

The Cantrell Project I have seen it, a big fan I grew up listen to metallica, I am 14 though

[@HypnosArg]

Dude, his intonnation is terrible!. I love metallica, but I can't stand most of ther live stuff because of this, I really cringe at bad intonnation, and Kirk misses the pitch 90% of the time, some times pretty badly.

I would like to add Bologna, Italy 2018 and Lincoln,Nebraska, also in 2018, to that list.

Kirk has been sounding fucking great lately!!!!!!!! His playing AND his lead guitar tone!!! Great job on this song fellas!

it is because he has quit drinking

[@fireface4654]

Classic Les Paul sustain. :D

[@SteelersRule1011]

This was by far the best performance Metallica has ever done. The solos were executed perfectly by Kirk, with an incredible amount of emotion and pain. James Hetfield's vocals sound better than they have in a long time, and Lars isn't doing stupid random fills, and his double bass sounded fantastic. I swear they have gotten much better with age, I can safely say this is probably better than the studio version.
