[@Newbport849]

This band will be famous one day.

[@cristhiancamilogranadosleo8817]

Lol!

[@lolilolmdrxd]

irony i wish ^^

[@Takianchr]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA killed me xD

[@soulless5161]

lol

[@totigerus]

yeah i see a bright future for them if they stick with it

[@Mikew8095]

So it took 8 years for the album but they can write a song like this beast in about 2 weeks 🤔

[@cristhiancamilogranadosleo8817]

That's exactly what I said ... Those MF know how to make me love them and make me hate them at the same time LMAO

[@kyawkokothant22]

lol. on point

[@bryancordero6532]

Mikew8095 Hopefully we'll get something like All Nightmare Long for all of the 8 years of waiting xD

[@crustypioneer8104]

It's not that the album took a long time.. they're just lazy

[@GrayWoIf]

Escape from Ride the Lightning was like that a last minute thing James considers it filler and hates it but I think it's amazing.

[@AndroidAppGuy]

The older Lars gets, the more he reminds me of Emperor Palpatine. He will show you the dark side of the force... \m/

[@diediedie295]

the dark side of no live double bass.... (insert generic laugh)

[@xytrouble07]

lol this is the best comment I have ever heard of Lars ever!

[@imp3rioart689]

jajajajajjajajajajaj the dark side of the music.

[@spirosbonis436]

duuuudeeee you are so right

[@tippingpints]

Oh heck yeah... and every year he loses a drum! In a few years he'll be playing a single snare like he's back in highschool band.

[@tedgegi155]

"We're so fucked,shit out of luck". Great line.

[@Jalex_Owns]

Ya, Tenacious D's "Beelzeboss" is pretty badass.

[@FuzzballSounds1]

Literally on that tenacious d record

[@gabolujan]

I actually think it's the worst line from the whole song, sounds like they couldn't come up with a better rhyme

[@megamakabryczny]

James is so fucked, shit out of voice, hardwired was not good choice.

[@oneaburns]

tedGEGI Very appropriate for the times.

[@MrDemon3d]

2:58 - thats 80's James right there!

[@SquishyAcePilot]

yes!!

[@MetaITurtle]

I think they are blowing everyone away, and i totally called it. Metallica were sick and tired of napster and lars drumming and ahhhhh fuck here listen to this booom!!! and now we are here listening with this look on our face 🙂

[@jhoaoobando1126]

MrDemon3d oh yes

[@coutinhothrash666]

AAAHHH I just love the way he "sings" this line!

[@JM-ji9kx]

Lol no, that's not even 90's James

[@isthatabean__]

Holy crap its played so fast!!!! It sounds even more amazing

[@eazye519]

they're timeless legends

[@MilatovichFamily]

It's really amazing and the whole recording is just ear bleeding(in good sense). Nothing can beat studio recorded sound.

[@justinlessard1477]

SO fast that they used alternate picking sometimes

[@leif7474]

Would have sounded even more amazing if Lars had played the fills before the chorus and the db parts but....

[@kontrolbug392]

Damn...this sounds even better live.

[@ernieball7567]

Hell yes !!. 10x better live

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Cant wait to see them Aug 16 in Edmonton . GA floors...should be a blast

[@Diversagon]

Stern has an amazing audio guy or whatever they call em, I can hear the bass hella fine

[@TPG1]

They're a professional live band before they are a studio band

[@NanoverseProductions]

Yes I heard it live and it was amazing

[@DoppelgangerJ]

James' voice hasn't sounded this good in 20 years.

[@Dragonballguy270]

J totally agree, he’s turned a corner

[@Platica.Vasile]

Its a studio version

[@terrypoirier4838]

It's unreal how good his vocals are here.

[@RickGrimesS5]

James voice sounds much better here than the original record imo. For me his voice sounds like his '90s voice (but a little bit different) anyways it's just awesome!

[@programmedwrong3795]

Yeah, he sounds alot like the Justice days.

[@caiothreefold]

maybe cause they play half step down

[@berserker2111]

it'll sound better on vinyl too. too much info is lost when they press it to mp3 and CD. FLAC is as close to the original cut as you can get too. But personally i enjoy vinyl because it eliminates the bass and you get that raw crunch the way it was meant to sound

[@dankk2754]

RickGrimes41 CORRAAAAL

[@shirrepoffer]

I totally agree!

[@12Saintsrow]

Mega props to the mixer for making this sound great unlike most live streamed sets.

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

Howard Sterns life definitely does not suck lol. It's like Metallica performing in your living room

[@LazarusStirs]

I can't stop watching this. I loved the song from the start, but this live performance is just insane. And Hetfield's voice is off the charts good here. Just a fantastic song and an incredible performance.

[@rac50172015]

right? 30+ years making music and touring. Yet in 2016 this sounds like a vintage throwback track. Incredible

[@Tom-dx1tv]

couldn't agree more

[@Hobbit183]

last time i came this early my girlfriend left me

[@pedrosantos3712]

Fuck you all retards with your early jokes, seriously

[@adj789]

yes upbote a bad joke

[@XpSAN]

dude.. lol

[@heavymetalrybakina]

I am sure your pig doesn't think of herself as your girlfriend.

[@joshl1350]

Fidde F how original

[@igors1002]

James voice is owesome in his 50, nothing said.

[@igors1002]

53 I mean.

[@MetallicaLiveHD]

I would love to see Lars play like this at every show.

[@metfan4l]

The boys are KILLING IT right now! Can't wait for this album to finally come out :D

[@snow8630]

They opened with this song at the Toronto concert and it was almost like a transcendent experience for me, it was the most perfect, and strongest opening they could've done for the show.

[@mark96dlv73]

This song reminds me to Trapped Under Ice

[@littlegoobie]

yeah, it's got the same formula as trapped. when it started though, i thought they were covering a Slayer song. I cna't name it at the moment but i can hum it. heh.

[@BroodingPsycho]

Exactly what I thought.

[@crustypioneer8104]

Same band

[@bitflux2]

thats like the best compliment you could give it

[@nathanmoreira]

Just a little bit

[@DismontDeSire]

But we'll never stop. We'll never quit 'Cause we're Metallica.))

[@thebreatho]

Lars is slowly becoming Michael Keaton

[@guitax]

thebreatho So true 😂

[@manguy2000]

John Lithgow

[@luiscarvao]

thebreatho he's more like anthony hopkins

[@GorGob]

lol "I'm... Batman!"

[@carlosduarte4181]

thebreatho or John Lithgow

[@harrymatthews8000]

This genuinely sounds so good I love that the bass stands out on its own and doesn't get drowned out in the mix and James's vocals are getting better and better

[@NICKWAPPERER117]

Sounds amazing. Het really sounds like the Load/Reload days again. Fuckin killer \m/

[@adamrocks133]

hell yeah it does!! this shit sounds pretty convincing this is going to be a great album

[@heavymetalrybakina]

Your ears need urgent cleaning.

[@yassin6520]

Not quite as good as back then, much better than the Death Magnetic live recordings though! Still incredible after all he's done and been through.

[@Real_SkyRipper]

lol if he sounded like the Master/Justice/Black days now that would be goo, sounding like load/reload is average, i wish James hadn't lost his voice :(

[@DOKISmusic]

A big fuck you to all the people who thinks he lost the grit in his voice. Metallica is back, baby, as if they ever left.

[@OctopusVolcano]

I'm so fucking impressed...especially with John lithgow on the drums.

[@madhurchari6851]

OctopusVolcano ha ha ha

[@predathor696]

jajaja Lithgow good one

[@Csmitty125]

OctopusVolcano I SEE IT

[@Mnemonika_band]

Nice sound on Howard Stern Show!! Great!

[@stas_ke]

охрененно звучат! )

[@sohrab3637]

it seems they're in a very very good shape again.

[@murilogarcia5252]

Metallica is in a Gold shape...tallica is back baby

[@1981brrf]

yes, they truly seem to be in a good place right know.

[@glagla253]

Now this could be a new start for the old dead thrash metal. Something like a new wave.

[@cristhiancamilogranadosleo8817]

Yep ... If you add the new stuff from Megadeth, overkill and Anthrax you can listen how old thrash is coming back :D ... Leave Slayer alone they've always sounded the same so they don't count ... Even repentless sounds the same and they have Gary Holt playing it ... Lol ...

[@Evelina_412]

Yeah, especially considering that the rest of the big 4 have released good stuff recently too. Plenty of new, amazing material.

[@alexwhitehead8264]

Luca Del Vecchio dystopia definitely could have a big factor too

[@crustypioneer8104]

The start? Every other of the big 4 has new albums plus new albums from Testament, Suicidal Tendencies and Death Angel among others... if anything Metallica is late to the new wave

[@glagla253]

Crusty Farts It is not about new albums or else, it is about the fact that all old bands did a very little good records in recent times, with zero new ideas and changing their style to match modernity, while new bands just copy from the old thrash. Now there are new ideas and a modernized thrash, ready to be followed by other bands. I hope in some new stuff.

[@AiKiGuitar]

James's voice sounds really good here.

[@grandwaha]

It takes a lot of energy at that age to keep banging out songs like this. Absolutely Awesome! They still have it it just must be hard to maintain after months of touring. It's a gift that they keep doing it.

[@thatdude8710]

I can see this band going places!

[@maxslim5384]

Yeah they may just make it

[@soldiersoftartarus7209]

I can't tell if you guys are joking or not

[@maxslim5384]

All g jus joking

[@crustypioneer8104]

They'll never make it

[@Tom-dx1tv]

lmao, maybe they can't open for megadeth

[@anttucc9646]

Does anyone else think James' voice sounds great lately? I do. To me, he sounded terrible the last (almost) ten years. He was getting hard to listen to. But, he sounds so much better in the recent live performances I've watched online lately.

[@Edmund_Squid]

Wow! That was better than I expected. They are sometimes a little sloppy in situations like this, but not here. This is Mettalica running on all cylinders.

[@veilard3469]

I fucking like when he yells : "Shitt outta luck"

[@agunsux]

Not as good as Battery or Blackened as the opening song for the album. But pretty much close.

[@No-0ne-is-Alone]

Well those are legendary and it was in their prime. This is more like Hit the lights to be honest if to be compared to openers.

[@agunsux]

Can Coşkun They have reached their prime decades ago. But this album is promising. Could be their best material since Black Album.

[@No-0ne-is-Alone]

Hope so, We'll see.

[@v0id-g0st]

Fight Fire With Fire?

[@felipemartinez9864]

they're 53 years old What are you waiting for

[@aedeceaecde5873]

the voice sound Great and all the band amazing!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Lars can play GREAT when he's not full of adrenaline. He just rushes his accents and fills when he's playing in those big stadiums and arenas.

[@TheKartoffel101]

Not quiet your tempo hu?

[@der_jannik_0115]

Lars sucks at keeping a tempo. You can clearly hear it in this one, too. He just randomly speeds up or slows down at random moments in the song, that’s what makes him so bad. Also, every drummer is constantly under adrenaline because the drums are probably the physically most challenging instrument out of them all. That’s no excuse for a man who has been playing them in the world’s biggest metal band for almost 40 consecutive years

[@22bryant]

Sounds great.Im buying the new album. .i heard it on a sacramento rock station.the bass sounds bad ass also

[@mark96dlv73]

I'll buy it too. Metallica kicks ass!!

[@brianmcawesome]

Robs choice to do 8th notes underneath the guitars 16th is so smart, it gives those fast parts such a bigger bass sound than they would otherwise. Also gives it a Cliff feel.

[@ganryu82]

I always love it when they did a little live show such as this...

[@christiansalinas2505]

Damn James is sounding so good !!! can't wait for the album !!

[@realycooldude94]

Holy shit the mixing on this performance is great , james voice is on point

[@sicknessmusik]

This song is fucking brutal! Love it.

[@silentphantom7826]

damn this sounds soooooo good!!!! mixing done right, loud bass, heavy, fast, crunchy riffs, THIS is metallica

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

Why not let the video go a little more for howard's reaction smh

[@michaelabe4040]

Yea lol

[@WilWells]

The bass mix on this set from the Howard Stern Show is so fantastic. Makes me want to have them go through every song they've ever done with the bass cranked and with that amazing Warwick Bass tone.

[@mrhoffame]

Great Metallica "Sound'!! Can't wait to get the new album. This sounds awesome!

[@Anthony9592]

I cannot think of any Metallica song more appealing to me than this.. Simply awesome! God bless the band!!

[@sbranabdrahimann3292]

Metallica still maintain until now..great and nice music..i hope my favorite band Metallica bring new song and great song..i to speak Congratulation my favorite band Metallica..rock headbanging never die...🎸🎤🎶

[@sabbathtribute]

Gotta give these guys props. They are the kings of modern metal. And they're sounding better than they have in years. Kicking ass again!

[@FunBucket]

FUCK YES!

[@maxmattt]

One of the best live performances of the song so far. They were fuckin on it the whole set.

[@greengun8340]

Wow. Fuckin A. Fucking real sweet. Took me back.

[@IHACKER316]

Turned out to be pone of my favorite EVER Metallica songs

[@andiparker3733]

Anyone else waiting for them to do Lux Æterna in the way? 😎😁🤘

[@nickcaptain13]

i didnt know Hetfield could alternate pick too :P i bet he can down pick the part at 2:36 too... :P

[@ramsesbruyperez8499]

amazing performance!!!

[@olddirt1965]

This Should be the "official" video for Hardwired! Absolutely KILLER!!

[@aldobrandli]

Good to see Lars without anything in his head

[@Angrygenzer]

Aldo Brändli Jr I know. He is so self conscious about his balding

[@RedbeardMaximus]

Literally nothing.

[@ryant3600]

yeah anything at all!!! ha..

[@niranjan2594]

I like Lars, but only if he could work on that double bass and toms, we would have a brilliant drummer in him :(

[@ryant3600]

Niranjan Pawar dude.. he's been recording w/ Metallica since very early 80's.. if he hadn't figure it out by now.. he's not going to

[@Marekxk]

My favorite song. I love these short fast great songs.👍👍👍👍👍

[@A_Final_Hit]

Everything was sounding great, but c'mon Lars! Why'd you leave out the double bass bits?!

[@bugasmike]

is that a serious question? did you even see his drumming? its atrocious, he gets progressively worse every year

[@bottolf68]

Im pretty sure its there, just the sound aint that good

[@SSSoM3]

He looks like he playied ,its just double bass is really low in the mix?

[@danielvonterror8346]

0 stamina dude :////

[@willemzeeman5607]

Also on Moth Into Flame at Webster Hall...great performance but no double bass...i really wish Lars would explain himself so the fans wouldnt have to argue about it constantly.

[@cariq7112]

They simply love what they are doin'! This piece marches on!!! 🤘😁👍

[@danielstauffer4116]

Say what you will, but, that was fucking BAD ASS! The very 1st note I ever heard Metallica, was the first note of the song "Master of Puppets" in 1986. It was at summer camp in upstate Pennsylvania. A fellow camper was listening to a Walkman when I asked, "what are you listening to?" He said, "it's Metallica!" He took off his headphones and put them over my ears and said, "check it out!" If I turned back time, at that age, and we had KZbin? And I seen this? I would have been (almost) as blown away!

[@danielstauffer4116]

Additionally, Thank for allowing the public to view this. That's how NOT to be a douche! Come to Hershey...I'm there!

[@hamtheman222]

They nailed that!

[@whiskeytangopapa1232]

Hard to ask for any better from these guys. Bravo, excellent track and album.

[@massapower]

It doesn't get better then THIS !!! :) Thx Howard :D

[@eazye519]

James is such a master

[@ViciousMandy32]

Holy shit. This new stuff...

[@JKOOLDK]

It's freaking amazing!! I cant believe one band can make every single one of their song this good!

[@stormyandcold]

Whatever JH is doing to maintain his voice...it's working. p.s. Just bring the wah back bro. You know what I mean.

[@CodyWard-gz4iv]

Metallica is back and better than ever rn!!

[@godfatherNYC]

SO fucking good!!!

[@stonecold9384]

Being a Metallica fan for 30 years, they NEVER cease to amaze me! SO FUCKING AWESOME! G.O.A.T

[@SergeBlake1973]

Lars is good!!!!

[@Intelli-gent01]

Was...

[@SergeBlake1973]

+Dave Ward was and came back

[@oneaburns]

Serge Blake He is. I was shocked I've yet to see any idiotic comments that say Lars and/or Kirk suck. Seems to happen a lot on Metallica videos.

[@eastisntright]

Never believed to see this comment in my life. He sucked so hard. Damn, but you're right. He sounds good as hell. I'm really, really hyped by metallica these days. I feel them teenagers inside.

[@fabiannorth8578]

Serge Blake Vinnie Paul!!

[@bogartpogi5051]

Best heavy metal band period!!!

[@Xrisus94]

I just love the fact that these songs still hold up soo good even today. and they are more metal than most bands out there. without even trying.

[@JohnSmith-rz4cw]

The finally got John Lithgow to drum for Metallica...\m\

[@Countachockula]

I was just about to say Lars needs to shave that head of his.

[@phreak1118]

I have always been a Jackson man, but I recently got an ESP and I am very very impressed. Looks like James is playing some new V model ESP I have never seen before.

[@josephrobichaud2852]

phreak1118 my first guitar was an esp ltd ec-330fm because of the one James had back in the day....it's my only one.....because i pay bass and sing....lol. I love it though. great feel and tone for sure

[@Thirteen31Music]

That was fucking badass.

[@ericbautista1892]

at 2:04, when James shouted "hahah"... so fucking awesome!

[@MasterChris666]

i really like this song

[@ckchappell]

The whole thing sounds good. But really digging Robert's groove.

[@mattlofty5884]

The mix is perfect

[@paolatrejos9301]

Who dares to unlike this!????

[@SerioosSam]

1:50 "HARDWIRED TO SELF DESTRUCT" sounds absolutely badass!

[@NickWeberMusic]

This sounds amazing... I honestly can not believe how good they still sound. I wouldnt be surprised if we still have at least another two decades of Metallica

[@blaynemurray1618]

The tone on this version is SICK !!!

[@CarlosReyes-uk7ef]

I like how the big four or at least 3 of them are still showing that they can play as fast and even faster than they used to for example some of the songs of slayers repent less album and megadeths dystopia album

[@kadenbohm775]

2:17 getting some 'Johnny B good' vibes

[@hyperbiscuit2284]

lars is really fun to watch when he's playing drums. he looks like he's actually having fun.

[@MatthewJPerez]

Howard Stern always has the best sounds in the studio for music!

[@codyjohnson5161]

They look like they are having fun again. Im very happy to hear some older Metallica tones

[@DreamfactoryZero]

Lars: 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4...Nah I'm impressed with his new work. He deserves credit on this new album.

[@frankagudelo9607]

Sin lugar a dudas, los más Grandes del Rock!!! Larga vida al TITÁN METALLICA!!!

[@roytheboy1952]

you just have to admire the sheer energy.

[@doublestrokeroll]

Rob is so fucking good. Hopefully all you haters are starting to realize this guy is the best bassist they've ever had. Yep.....I was there for cliff too....i'm not some wannabee come lately.....cliff was an amazing lead bass player....but he did not have the pocket that Rob has. It's not a coincidence that in almost all these new video's it's Rob that James is looking at to lock in with. Lars is still doing well, (aside from the sad but true...that was slooopy), but James and Rob ARE the rhythm section now. Lars is just trying to keep up.

[@jimbochimbo]

I will remenber to metallica for all their classics and this song for sure

[@matchanavi]

Written in a week? Well that explains the lyrics lol

[@sereldenring1012]

Mr.Z dying of aughter

[@phantomlord1981]

Kind of like your screen name ..

[@yallevereatenbeans2723]

2 Weeks is actually kinda long, Welcome to the Jungle was written in about an hour

[@Phil-kf6lt]

They just wanted a fast thrash opening song. That's it lol

[@remastered-00-pl]

Hell yeah! Xd

[@scorpionking4012]

can't wait for that ALBUM

[@kevinlogue1682]

holy fuck..

[@nufsed12]

Wow! Goosebumps.
