Your definition of yodeling is obviously vastly different to mine! Perhaps you could describe James' singing on the KEA album version of Seek as yodeling... but screeching is probably a better descriptor. But that certainly doesn't apply to this Woodstock performance.

I love Jason just as much as anyone, but he was never Metallica's front man. Singing lead vocals for a couple of minutes doesn't make someone the front man.

Yep looks like it was the high E string, which is the thinnest and most prone to breaking. Surprised it doesn't happen to him and Kirk more the way they play so hard. Wouldn't have made much of if any difference to his rhythm riffing. Kirk would have major problems during the solo if it happened to him instead though.
