Metallica - The Frayed Ends Of Sanity ( Seattle 1989 )

"whaddya wanna hear man?" Well James, I was hoping for the rest of the fucking song, but just play whatever you wanna play.

When James says they "got bored of it" I'd assume they had just forgotten lyrics since they looked like they were really enjoying it haha, really wish they had played it in full since it's an awesome song, definitely one of their best in my opinion.

[@bilalcan2366]

Yes, this song can be the best of Metallica. At least my fav

[@sniperguyAZ]

its just that justice had so many long songs they had to cut it short

[@admiralthex]

Lars said recently he as a band they like riding the edge of danger by being 10 percent under rehearsed. I think they just lost the thread on this one. Hahahaha

[@mauross6358]

The frayed ends of sanity is the best song by Metallica in my opinion

Mesa Boogie!!

[@DanielFantini]

0:16 thats a massive fucking guitar tone right there

I know it is it's so heavy

[@calebbartlett367]

I think the amps are the exact same amps they used on Justice!!

[@DanielFantini]

Caleb Bartlett they are, just no parametric eq on their live rig at this time. They used a B&B parametric eq on the record, but they used a Mesa Boogie Mark iic+ straight into Marshall 1960a cabs.

[@robinhansen292]

Probably my all time favorite guitar tone of all time, soooo fucking heavy!!

[@smarkmalark]

I miss when he actually knew what a simple bonham triplet was. Man can barely play any of his parts now and resorts to making parts that sound a little similar but are just completely lazy

[@theesweetscience2084]

​@@smarkmalarkyup. He gives it a loungey, laid back vibe nowadays of course it's still loud and distorted, cuz, well, Metallica lol. But he def gives it more or a swing and lounge effect now, glad someone worded it proper cuz I feel the same way

[@goldenwolf8081]

I admit I can see he did get lazy around 2007-2015 he’s picked it back up quite a lot but I mean they still don’t play these more technical songs I kinda wish they did if the whole band can still play trapped under ice or fight fire with fire then Lars can do frayed ends of sanity I’m not a Lars hater but I feel like he could give a bit more despite being in his 60s.

[@reflectionbbq]

This is the partial song, and unfortunately the best lyric of the entire song is missing..."myself is after me, frayed ends of sanity"

[@marialujangorini3469]

Why them stop this masterpiece in middle of theme? Sorry my english is so bad, but i want to understand here, you know??

There’s also an alternate universe where these songs are the setlist staples and the causal fan favorites instead of Sandman, SBT and NEM which they only played in full in 2004, 2009 and 2014, respectively.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

I know, right? I feel that they really whiffed an opportunity to produce what would have been the gnarliest Metallica moment of all time. If they had played it in full here, in their prime, and then left it alone just like they did? Maaaaaaaaan. We celebrate this monster-of-a-song anyway, but if we had a fuckin Seattle 1989 version of it?! Yo...guys would fuggin DIE from headbanging! 🤣 / 🤘😣🤘

[@sarrjelloss3570]

***** Yeah, your right. That was out of line. Here Metallica was on top of the line and at their prime. James is incredibly serious in this part of his career, not that he isn't serious now, but I notice he has a strange smile on stage when they perform now, it's kind of funny. Here he has a look of "I'm going to kill you after the tour" , lol.

[@Doyledeth]

You guys need to man up. Out of line? Shit, I bet even James would have laughed at it.

Harald Eskerud yes, I have. I play the whole song but the solo. This riff you talk about is fast, it's the most difficult part, it's triple E string and pull/hammer-pull E/D (A string), not that difficult, you have to be quick, it's a very nice riff.
