Metallica: MTO (The Making of "ManUNkind")

[@devinbarnum7698]

I don't think people realize how much of a rare treat it is to see a band of this magnitude allowing the creative process to be seen like this. Most musicians are really protective and private during this process. It's awesome stuff!

[@rodrigofernandez3206]

True... I think it is because they're having so much fun that they give 0 f*cks about everything else

[@kasperkankkunen8664]

devin barnum I think one of the reasons why they can/want to published videos is the fact that they have nothing to hide while making these songs. I mean James doesn’t use autotune/pitch correction and the instruments are played by human not a computer. Which are pretty common things to do these days in the music business.

[@radosawwalkowski5824]

Nowadays most of the singers use pitch corrections, but even if James uses it it's so subtle you wouldn't recognize the difference

[@Lukkern]

One of the few other vand that kind of do this is maybe mastodon

[@vinny142]

​@@rodrigofernandez3206 I think it's more rumourcontrol. The fact that they show this mans they want the world to see, you don't do that when you don't care.

[@BATTIS94]

6:35 that little moment between James and the other guy warms my heart.

He labors big time on everything, BUT, he pulls it off in the end and we wouldn't have "metal" without him. Gotta love that little garden gnome.

[@Mari000]

He always sounds sloppy

[@Marcos-Neto96]

This song is underrated, and i dont know why. Its Metallica meets Sabbath riff style, its groovy, has an awesome vocal by James. Cant wait to see all of the new songs live, please make it happen Metallica!!

[@iconicfury]

I know! My honest reaction my first listen was that this song may have some of the sexiest Metallica riffs since ...Justice.

[@michbest]

Its not. I fuc**n love it!!!!

It's on purpose, I guess you all know that tho.

[@darkmatter462]

7:10 James goes full Tom Morello

[@fase1doughnut]

*buckethead

[@DieegoLpzz]

Tom morello is more like the guitar on the neck and digitech whammy till death

[@honigdachs.]

One of the best songs on the album. Everyone can thrash, speed and hammer along all day. But this super-slick, ultra-heavy groove stuff ... can't fake that. Separates the men from the boys!

[@eddielack3445]

So you are a big fan of the Loads and songs such as Ronnie and Poor Old Twisted Me?

[@TrinityMartin1]

Well, this is one of the best songs IF you are a big fan of the Load/Reload songs, because this sounds like it fell right off those albums. This songs isn't terrible to me, but it sounds out of place on this album.

[@honigdachs.]

Not necessarily those, but I'm a fan of songs such as 2x4 , Devil's Dance or Fixxxer, which is seriously grooving, big balls, adult male metal.

[@honigdachs.]

It fits the album perfectly and not "out of place" at all. The album would be worse without it.

[@KevinLuper99]

Jimmy Hellfire a lot more people are warming up to Load and ReLoad lately.

[@theodoreskeland4048]

6:35 They are all so polite, I love them so much

I'm really liking these videos. Cool to see how they developed each idea.

[@due_2477]

Four years in, I'm starting to realize how good this album really is. One of their best and definetely better than death magnetic

[@gansior4744]

I don't think its better but its definietly equal or just short of it

[@Dona_L]

Death Magnetic is their best album on the XXI century

[@ChristmasSong25]

nah. Death Magentic is much better.

[@FoxyJoystick]

6:35 that fuckin' ''thank you'', gotta love when legends stay humble, long live the Het!

[@HaiderTonight]

Greatest band of all time and beyond.

[@fmcjake1836]

Haider Ali

[@jakemartinez9886]

I understand why Hetfield can't use that voice constantly throughout a two hour live show night after night; but one thing I love about these making of mini docs is seeing him recording the vocals - I know he's never really seen himself as a singer but, fuck, the man has one almighty growl in him.

[@ChrisR_68]

I love to watch these studio bits. thanks guys for posting :)

[@dunnjefferson5837]

I know James has had a lot of ups and downs with his vocals BUT MAN he STILL sounds great. Honestly best he has ever sounded IMO. Great mix of singing, soft, hard, growls, and screaming.

[@aniki937]

Best since long time, but not ever. I'm not that kind of old school hardcore fan at all, tbh I do prefer James nowadays voice, but early 90s he was powerful as hell like Seattle 89 or Mexico City 93 was his voice prime imho

[@dunnjefferson5837]

The 89 Seattle vocals do sound really good. I think though he is more dynamic now than ever which is also why I prefer his vocals now. To each their own.

[@rob899]

His old school vocals are so damn classic.. But I do agree, he is far more dynamic and has much more control now a days. Very impressive after all these years!

[@rhapsidy]

I reckon this is the best song on the album. Not sure if many would agree but i cant get enough of it!

[@robinflick5516]

Mark Yes Yes yes I'm not alone

[@LorriSanga]

One of the best songs I've heard this year. You can thank the stellar vocal....but, but, Lars has drawn from his old school knowledge and iced the fucking cake!

[@JimmyFucker]

for me its ManUNkind and Dream No More

[@SergeBlake1973]

Since it's release I have heard this one non-stop. Conquered me for good.

[@MoSweiti666]

it's one of my favorite songs by Metallica. I had to listen to it several times, and this song is surprisingly complex. Such a fantastic song.

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

Man I love this song. So cool to see how it was made, and how much it was developed. 4:16 *We need an A-Capella album version.*

[@conan8258]

Manunkind has some of the the best riffs in the metallica history

[@CaptnShred]

Really under appreciated track. The vocal lines and main riff are killer

[@lautarosebastian1877]

[@TheCamorra2011]

They found their song-writing dynamic again...good to see them do what worked so well for the first 5 albums. Hardwired is a fucking great album

[@DOKISmusic]

jeff peake Uninspired, as if.

[@MoSweiti666]

jeff peake uninspired? That's not true. Songs like Dream No More cannot be uninspired

[@matiascandia4946]

It does feel uninspired, I agree. I wont say its bad, but it lacks that cutting edge that they had in their first four albums. There isnt one threatening riff, one riff that takes you to the edge. Even spit out the bone which is their most "metal" song in this album sounds soft and round. Again, Im not saying its bad, its just missing its originality, its spirit.

[@Tutankamion196]

*Hello there! I wanna share my opinion on this specific song:* When I first heard 'ManUNkind' I wasn't that sure if this song was good enough for my liking. In other words, this was the most challenging song on the entire album. I wasn't that satisfied with it. But then I decided to give that song more than one try. And guess what? Now i'm in love with it! This song (for me) has the vibes of 'Load/Reload' and some touch of the 'Black Album' vibe. So, Metallica fans, please, give the album more than one shot. After all, we haven't waited 8 years for nothing. This album is the real deal. This is actually the first album I have ever pre-ordered. Got the CD and a digital copy from Google Play Music. This album is played non-stop on my PC and my phone when i'm outside. Thank you, Metallica! Awesome record. #AlbumOfTheYear #HardwiredToSelfDestruct \m/

[@grantwhite4201]

This was the one that took the most time for me to say "Huh, wow, this is actually pretty good!" James was right when saying it's not just a simple beat, it's an odd beat that will make you think. Because it's not something Metallica, and more specifically Lars, has done before!

[@michbest]

It was woth the job. For me its the best song of album. It makes me to listen Metallica again after few years!

[@chaseashton611]

@@olokinhogameplaysff4058 the thing that will get u closest to the sound is the Mk IV but it’s slightly more expensive. However if u have the money then go for it. They used a Marshall cabinet too. Look up on KZbin Mesa boogie mk IV Metallica tone. It sounds like the record. They used it for master of puppets, justice, and black album

[@andrewchopperjonesfitness351]

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

Clearing the throat and warming up, normally in choral warmups you'll do scales up and down your vocal range and he basically did most of his top range with some distortion in a quick warmup.

[@PiazzaGurl]

Love these BTS/BTM. Not many artists and bands get to show how their music comes together. To see a band like Metallica sit around bounce off ideas, play riffs, beats, etc. is amazing. And the process, showing they not just throwing any shit together. They truly wanna make a worthy sound and be proud of it.

Scott Brown yea i know but we have to hope. i also found out the original sweet silence they recorded lightning and puppets in was tore down in 2009 to build apartment's. they built a new one. i think those old studios where albums like that are made should be considered historical landmarks and be preserved. im afraid one on one the studio from the black album and everyone knows from year and a half in the life of will be next to be destroyed. the last time i heard it was a yoga place or something and not in too great of shape. i guess with most people recording in home studios and no budgets to record with anymore all the great studios will face this fate.
