[@GauravKotian]

Moth into Flame is one of their best songs written in recent years! This is a total headbanger \m/

[@metakis]

@420 rgb τροποποιήθηκε.. 😂😂

[@GauravKotian]

Headbang absolutely

[@GeekFurious]

In ever, friend. It is one of the best songs written... in ever. By anyone.

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Yeah this is dope

[@isfet5149]

I still think James does not like Kirk. He's been like that for years. It's obvious with their body language, and how James dismisses Kirk.

[@metfan4l]

Man, I hope I'm in that good shape in my late fifties... respect to these guys.

Yes and I've noticed they've brought a lot of tempos down, many of which are album tempo!

[@SilentKnightErik]

Agree!

[@SilentKnightErik]

@@SteveKaynan yes! they started doing that in the last radio performances! It sounds better 😍

[@benignism]

[@SteveKaynan]

His voice is sounding good here for sure!

[@carlosluismendez7392]

what? ok, sure XD

[@Kyriakoskarystinos]

Every video they upload is edited. If you actually watch real footage is completely different. Sadly

[@PippPriss]

@@Kyriakoskarystinos No, not at all. I checked for this particular concert, and he sings exactly the same. Sure, Post-Processing is done, but that is absolutely normal. It's not the untouched board audio. Real footage is usually done with shitty mics of smartphones which cannot cope well with the audio pressure levels presented at a big concert, so all sounds squishy, canny, weak and overwhelmed.

[@Kyriakoskarystinos]

@@PippPriss good luck checking the howard stern's wherever i may roam before and after and realise they can literally change everything in his voice. They have been doing it since 1999 in s&m

[@ibrokemyviolin2496]

Lars is so on point that everyone is confused whether if it's a metronome. Kudos to the guy he practiced really well. I mapped out the whole video in my DAW and the tempo is not at all consistent. They just sound tight as hell.

[@amycroft7545]

You kind that can feel it off sometimes...but it's awesome as always!

[@czolgistta]

@@amycroft7545 Every bands plays a little off live. Go see SLipknot drummer, his tempo is all over the place. As for Lars here, respect is due, it's the best he has played in years.

[@jonnyj.]

@@czolgistta No fucking shit. We're all heavily praising lars for his constant tempo here. And yea, the new slipknot drummer really struggles with double bass and tempo. Rip joey :(

[@VBshredder]

cool hearing you mapped it out, because i was wondering. Even then, I though "nah, Lars won't ever do that - it's about feeling". Good to know my hunch was correct.

[@MetalheadArepa]

@@jonnyj. He's still a beast tho

[@CMRVerduijn]

Tightest they’ve sounded in years. Absolutely love it when they go a bit slower, makes them sound SO MUCH BETTER.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Agreed. I don't know if Lars is listening to a click track or what, but keeping the bpm at "album speed" really makes the tightness of the guitars really stand out, sounds awesome 👌

[@CALYKIL]

Agreed and much more heavy🤘🏻🔥

[@zackelekes412]

Lars is kicking ass big time! Juicy double bass and metronome like precision🔥🔥 everyone sounds Metallica

[@ZachBarcus]

Pretty sure he's been playing drums with his son Miles. Thinking that might be with this new pocket Lars has been in and it's nice 🤘

Wish he would lose the china though. Sound horrible during the pre-verse harmony. Get the ride back. But his playing in generelt has improved.

[@81giorikas]

@@davidpearson6346 They play with a click track live in the recent gigs.

[@DJW_]

It sounds like the boys have made a collective decision to slow things down. No more "live speed". I'm not complaining at all, the last number of uploads have sounded incredible but definitely notably slower. Can't wait for my 7th show next year in Madrid 😁

[@SteveKaynan]

Absolutely!! Noticed it immediately on Jimmy Kimmel, it's also made them sound even tighter!! 🤟🌎

[@wildae.]

7th wow man, i have been their fan since early 90's and it will be my biggest dream come true to at least see them live once

[@DJW_]

@@wildae. I seen them for the first time in Dublin Ireland in 2009 just after my 16th birthday haha. Last time was 2019 in Ireland once again where I also won tickets to the snakepit. Wanna scoop up seeing them as many times as I can!

[@OddJobKid99]

I think over quarantine with doing the live stream for AWMH and Stern shows they started playing to click. I think they need to do some tweaking for some songs (sad but true sounds almost too slow for a live tempo) but overall it’s a general improvement cause Lars is a lot tighter so therefore the band is too. Roam sounded KILLER on Kimmel

[@MrMetallidude]

To see Metallica doing a gig with thousands in the audience, after all this horridness...is just to make you cry of happiness. We needed this.

If Lars is using a click track, its totally fine. And if Lars is not using a click track, but just paying at a slower tempo, its totally fine too! Whatever it is, they sound GREAT! Cant wait to see them at Chase Center in Dec.

[@sugimation8575]

What I truly appreciate about Metallica is how you can hear every album they’ve ever recorded in this song. They don’t abandon influence, the use it, it fuels them, what made them angry before, or what made them ride the lightening is now artistically packaged to prove that they are now the master of their own justice.

The past few years all of them have sounded much better, but James sounds killer here, and Kirk played cleaner than he has in a long time.
