I love how Jason even after being in the band for 11 years at this point in time he still wore their band shirts like he was just some lucky fan

[@SLAYER.APO.VOLO.]

Actually he was a lucky fan that got in the band. Amazing man ❤️

[@ryansmukala7618]

I really like Rob on bass, he is a very talented bassist, but there was just something about Jason's backing "vocals" that added a little bit more to their live shows when he was in the band. I kinda miss it.

[@GTAfan421]

Honestly, Jason can't do that so well these days.

[@treverpitts]

true and i think jason gets in to the music more

[@GTAfan421]

I'm not sure I agree with that. Rob really was the guy who got them to play a lot more of the older songs they weren't really paying a ton of attention to before Jason had left.

[@treverpitts]

will its all good every bass player in metallica has been good i do agree rob is good i love how he go's off live *****

[@ryansmukala7618]

well like I said, I do love Rob in the band. Hes intense and as far as like Death Magnetic went I wasn't sure if he brought much in for it, but back in the day I did really love Jason's vocals he did. It wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't really do it much now though.

Even at what people call their “low point” they still put on a hell of a show with great energy

[@batmaneatspizza]

Their lowest point was definitely st. Anger

[@smarkmalark]

This is far from their lowest point. I mean in terms of popularity with fans yeah, but everything after reload was completely devastating. The original load era was amazing. I honestly think it was them at their peak. This was definitely Lars at his peak since this was right before he quit practicing all the time and got lazy, he actually does the correct double bass, and barely misses a single beat! Kirk sounds absolutely stunning, and James voice was reborn. They sounded as tight as ever!

[@lzeppelinrocks]

Metallica albums may have high highs and low lows, but metallica as a live playing band never has had a low point

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@smarkmalark Its not just Lazy. When you tours like this and black album you have shoulders tore up ( both since 1998), knee issues, hearing issues (1995) and lower back.

[@ramsesf.7956]

Their lowest point was late 90s and early 2000. Look at their shows in 99 or in the St Anger era, it was trash. Then late 2000 till nowadays they're pretty solid.
