Metallica: If Darkness Had A Son full song Live Debut 2023 @Amsterdam

[@kalebpost20]

I’ve seen this song get a lot of flak on social media but I keep coming back to it. This album gets better with every play-through. Amazing what the lads can still do at 60.

[@DeweyJHall1]

I said the same thing. Every listen, it gets better

[@DM-rc4yu]

Some of the flak is deserved. The song is way too long and repetitive for what it is. Still a million times better than the title track.

[@kalebpost20]

@@DM-rc4yu I can see how you feel that way. Personally, I’d rather a song be too long than too short. Maybe that’s part of the reason why I keep coming back to it lol

[@grantwallace1882]

One of my favourites. Hope they play it in Munich.

[@cliffsenac2825]

I fell in love with it the first listen. Has that old school Metallica buildup of an intro. Kinda a hybrid between Bells and Eye of the Beholder imo

[@RavensFlock9592]

Great song and great album. I don't care what the haters say. Long live Metallica!!!

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

Yes GD album

[@nigelsmith721]

It was indeed.

[@tezbertzero1915]

1:45 - The "temptation" I was waiting for... dude, everyone screaming at it, amazing.... goosebumps!

[@skelepants]

Absolutely. What a banger! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MegaMetallicaMASTER]

I was one of them screaming the loudest 🤘

[@symenheideman5038]

[@danielcash58]

The new stuff so far sounds fantastic live.....

[@Buckeyefarmer]

This song does grow on you. Seems like it really works live.

[@atilarufo]

It's one of my favorites from the album. People underrates it

[@tezbertzero1915]

Same!!

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

I feel the album is still so new that any favorite anyone might have is gonna feel underrated hahah! Shadows Follow, Inamorata, and If Darkness had a son are my top 3 tracks! But the whole album is a masterpiece! You must burn, crown of barbed wire, chasing light, 72 seasons, room of mirrors +++++ JUST AAAAHH!!!!!! Screaming Suicide!! Sleepwalk my life away, too far gone! and LUX Æterna! As soon as I start to pick favorites I can't stop thinking of the other tracks! hahah!

[@atilarufo]

@@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen I feel exactly like this man, I liked every single track, and 72 Seasons, If Darkness Had a Son and Inamorata already feel like classics to me. I'm REALLY happy about living all this

My favorite song on the album… this is fire 🔥 ❤ I freaking love it and Metallica… been a fan since 87

[@shahrammostashari-yw4tn]

The Best song of the Album🤘🇮🇷

[@jordanbottom9921]

They still rock so hard live. James just has "IT".

[@justmax234]

This song works so well in live. The "temptation" part is just banging

[@tuomassaarinen]

They sound so good. Another great Metallica era just started.

[@marianaespindolamoreira7457]

Good Night. Papa Het it s amazing. wonderful show.

[@miguelangelous]

This is by far the 2nd best song on this album (1rst Inamorata) 🔥🤘🏼

[@DovahVokuna]

@@davidwilliams702 I agree. And damage follows sounds awesome as well. Dude did a awesome job.

[@g1083]

Inamorata is overated one of the lesser songs

[@MrGood006]

​@@g1083 Have you read that on the internet? 😉

[@g1083]

@@MrGood006 no I listened to the album😁

[@kassandra5449]

METALLICA is a part of my life. They are so young and unbreakable about the long time. Love forever 💓💓💓💓

[@NP-gt5ox]

Just so cooool ... this song was made for live performance!

[@dissonantpulse]

The 'temptation' part sounds really heavy damn

[@bobabooey4537]

Thats some great heavy shit from Metallica in 2023.. must have sounded awesome live. Truly a live band.

[@rolo3552]

Amazing. Did you record You Must Burn and Until It Sleeps?

[@nesiuskitnesamoniu8649]

Yep, could not skip them. Metallica delivered big time today❤

[@davidw7]

This must be from the second day of their Amsterdam concert... seems like it sounds better than those posted from the first of this venue. James -- Voice -- sounds great....

[@iancrawford6930]

You’re right, it’s night 2

[@SpakManGtr]

Thank you so much for the videos from both nights.

[@metalmachine101]

It’s not the live debut, Metallica played this song live on The Jimmy Kimmel show in Los Angeles

[@Matallica01]

Full version live debut however..

[@H4I2I2EE]

I agree but I think they mean on the tour. They played it live for themselves before they were in front of an audience, if you wanna get technical hehe

[@thespirit1002]

Loooooove this…. Temptaaaaaation - tempatation …. ⚡️⚡️

[@Buggen-Out-Yo]

This is up there with top 5 albums

[@Crepitom]

Man! I was right at the front of the podium, freaking amazing this song live!!

[@TheRonnie1986]

this song works way better live than on the record. It just has so many cool parts to head bang, sign along.

[@BrianNichols85]

Awesome live vibe...

[@loosebacontrails666]

Thx for posting!! From California, Met Family Love!

[@georgeALBO1984]

Thx bro.

[@jaywertheimer5336]

Love at firs listen..That riff and drums.

[@ryanlee5771]

98% of the haters cant even play guitars and drums,realtalk!

[@shugghead8538]

As far as slow and heavy on the new album, this is just so much better than "you must burn"

[@Rushlarz2112]

I was just getting into this song the other day and im thinking in my head how many heys would go into the beginning. I frigging love this song.

[@davidwilliams702]

I heard album 7 ×'so far,,we cook everyday to metallica....see ya n Dallas Tx❤❤

[@brandogg]

[@rtgredtruck3059]

This is not a live debut but this is still an incredible recording! Nice work! 👍🤘

Playing it in a studio "live" doesn't count.

Love you Lars and Hetfield. Don't be so hard on Newsteads replacement. That dude can keep up with the best of y'all. Mustaine would love the hell out of that dudes talent
