Metallica: Harvester of Sorrow (Castle Donington, England - June 8, 2023)

[@mr.timebombman2230]

That main riff is one of the best they ever did. Also, one of the first riffs I learned in 1988 as a 12 yr old. Favorite Metallica album.

[@yobrethren]

Damn, must be so difficult for you to walk with these massive *balls* since 12 years old! Harvester is just *heckin heavy,* and Kirk played the solo well on this live!

Yea except you can barely hear Kirk, 0:25

[@revwillyg6450]

Yes. And thank Metallica that I never have to watch anyone's crap ass phone video of them

[@ryanpatterson906]

I'm not sure why I keep seeing this comment, the live sound engineer has nothing to do with the audio you are hearing. I'm pretty sure Fidelman still does their live mixes, he's the one you'll need to thank. In fairness this sounds a lot better than the previous gigs from this tour, the crowd noise is turned down considerably which is how I think it sounds best. Anyone know if Mick is still mixing their live? I heard he retired back in 2019.

[@nathanjohnson424]

It didn't sound like this live unfortunately, Kirk was really quiet and James's mic kept cutting out. Was still a great show though!

[@lovemetal2467]

No. What he did here had no feel, and it didn't fit the song like the original solo which is much darker. Basically he messed up so he played gibberish. He does it to often now a days unfortunately. If only he would actually practice and care about his guitar playing. It's unfortunate.

[@yourmetalsister2958]

​@@lovemetal2467Kirk didn't mess up. He's always said he plays creatively live. Just because it isn't exactly how it's played on the album, doesn't mean it's gibberish.

[@lovemetal2467]

​@@yourmetalsister2958 You missed my point. As a lead guitarist he's literally become worse over the years, he messes up often live, and plays it off like he didn't mess up. I don't want to admit this, but when he started doing it more and more frequently about 12 years ago now, it was clear he wasn't practicing and becoming complacent as a musician, and that's the sad part that a fan for 26 years like myself doesn't wanna see. There's a reason why "Death Magnetic" has his best solos since that album, and some of those solos I think are the best he had ever written, like his solo in "Judas Kiss" it's mean, dirty, Bluesy, aggressive and raw. He's lost his feel for what he does. Sonically "72 Seasons" is brutal, dark, honest and heavy, but some of Kirk's solos almost make no sense for the atmospherics of some of the songs. It's easily the best sounding album they've ever made, with no dubbing, every guitar track is played all the way through, same with how James recorded the vocals. Hardwired was the first example of Kirk writing terrible solos with zero feel. I know Kirk has said he likes improvise live, but he's not in a Blues band, so playing a solo you already recorded off the cuff live doesn't fit the narrative or direction of the song and music. That would be as if they put Gary Moore in there to play an off the cuff solo, it wouldn't work. I've been a guitarist for nearly 23 years, and James and Kirk are the reason why I started back when I was 16, so seeing someone you always looked up to fall of his horse like that when he does, is kinda frustrating, because as a guitarist you just wanna see him nail every solo. So that's where I'm coming from. Sorry I wrote so much, I'm just a very passionate musician and lifelong Metallica fan. Take care man.🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
