They're really not that tight every time though, but they should have mad respect nonetheless. As a drummer, guitarist, bassist and singer, with emphasis on the first one, no they are not tight every time. But these mf's play a lot of f-ing shows. I wouldn't be tight on either instrument every show. I've been on tour in Poland and the Check Republic and only had 4 shows at the time. Gods shall know I wasn't tight every god damn show. I was drunk af tho lol. And these old men do a lot more shows than that and I'm just 35, so there's that. Credit should be given when credit is due. Love these guys.

After Seattle '89, this is the best live version of MOP that Metallica has ever done. James' vocals on point, Lars killing the drums, the monster bass of Trujillo and Kirk nailing the solos. The rain makes it 1000 times more epic, and that new outro they started doing is awesome, great for fan interaction. I love every second of this.

Funny coz the rain only started the moment they came on and stopped when they finished. I remember getting pissed that it started raining but jeez it really improved the crowd. Everyone couldn’t use their phones as much. So happy it did rain now and I’ve been to many gigs and been fortunate that it hadn’t rained in any of those gigs until this. Very hard to go to many outdoor gigs in the UK without rain. I was 19 during this wearing just a t shirt and left the gig soaked but it was so worth it. Plus i pissed my pants since i didn’t want to step away for a moment to go to toilet and miss anything. I remember my friend took it upon himself to lift me on his shoulders, still haven’t told him I’d pissed my pants 😂. I’ll wait till we’re older haha.

Their playing this in the rain like that is iconic. Fuckin incredible. Unphased. Looks cool coming off the drums.

[@isaacdinesen766]

I don't think anyone would realize this, but James is playing his most prized guitar in the pouring rain. This rustic looking guitar's name is Carl named after the street in California where they practiced for years. The band got the idea to dismantle the garage they used to practice in back in the day and bring it to their studio and reassemble it inside it. So they tried, but the garage had been torn down. Despite that the band decided to hold a reunion party on the property and someone who was an old friend came and said that he had kept some of the wood from the garage, so they took the wood from the very garage where they wrote Ride The Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and most notably Master of Puppets and built a very special guitar for the band. Carl is brought out and played with every performance of Master of Puppets no matter the weather which is remarkable to see considering the historical and sentimental significance of the instrument.

I see too many gate keepers and that’s precisely what I hate about metal and I’m a metal head. I can’t stand these stubborn hard core metal heads that think they can dictate what’s good and bad. The genre will never become big again because band fan bases have feuds with each other when the bands just wanna make music and far too many sub genres with fans of one sub genre hating the other sub genre. E.g Metal core fans will hate grind core or whatever tf cores and shit you have now. That’s what’s wrong with the genre as a whole.

@@KungfooBucket it depends where you look. I saw in the comments to the actual scene were people was complaining about how it’s gonna attract kids who listen to pop and make it commercial which is a bunch of bollocks. I was at this very gig so I have a say but I noticed a few people in this comment section having a problem with it. Just why metal will never be popular, too many gate keepers have bragging rights over those who are being introduced to it. You can be introduced one way or the other, these kids who listen to pop might not have been introduced to Metallica before since pop is everywhere in the mainstream so it’s easier access for these kids. Generally metal is imploding due to these annoying sub genres and that’s why it will never take off. Your best bet is the most popular TV series in the world right now including Metallica and that might attract new fans but again, the “hardcore” metal community have a problem with that while complaining about how their favourite bands don’t get awards at the Grammies or any other mainstream awards show. I follow pages like loud wire that report on rock and metal and whenever a band is reported, it swarms more haters than fans

James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.

Typical sunny English weather. Shout out to all the techs who know how to ground all the sound equipment properly.

[@JV-df9em]

Same thought! Not something most would think about but definitely well done!

[@afrocoolio25]

This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.

As it as already been said, but I'll say it again : I don't know if people realise how well they played considering it was pouring rain. Water on strings glide well too much and it's becoming hell to play right. The fact that they played it without missing notes is incredible and show how skilled they are. Because it does recquire some strong stamina to play this song, and they did it with Rain all along. What a band.

[@JakeBenge]

yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.

Lars is not a bad drummer, he's hit or miss, he has a great musical sense and intuition, and he's willing to not put himself in a box and try new things, hence the tone on AJFA and the snare on St Anger, sometimes it pays, sometimes it doesn't, He's past his prime obviously, he was a beast from 1986 to 1993, but there's still hints of greatness here and there, and this performance is a good example of that, rock on Lars🤘
