Metallica: The God That Failed (Madrid, Spain - May 3, 2019)

[@battoosh]

Rob using a pick, Kirk not using a Wah pedal... This is a combo that you don't see often 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@adamdelaney6782]

and kirk nailing a solo too

[@battoosh]

@@Salomon_G I'm aware of that, but what I'm saying is this combination is unique to witness

Adam Delaney he normally does

[@umerraja2655]

I'm glad Rob used a pick though, makes the bass grooves much more accented like in the studio version

[@chronos7395]

Robert Trujillo massive respect for staying true to the original composition and paying tribute to Jason's sound and playing style using a pick!

[@korvkioskshelvete]

It blows my mind to think that Rob soon has been with Metallica longer than Cliff and Jason together. Time flies.

Rob is definitely the right bassist for Metallica, and when I saw that he was auditioning for the job, I said immediately that he should get the job and probably will. And I was right LOL

[@metfan4l]

So happy to hear them play this, they should really rotate this song into the setlist instead of a Sad But True or something like that more often.

[@fedor5664]

I agree with the first part but sad but true is just too good of a song imo to just leave out

[@vincent9596]

Yeah, i feel the same way. I would love to have them play this followed by my friend of misery...sad but true is an amazing song, but its still not that angry and heavy as this one...the angry verse riff, this haunting intro riff and the solo....just perfect....

[@henrikhansen2480]

Awesome song. Love this too. But I dont think the key James is singing it in fits the song.

[@jd0879]

[@marc2000z]

“The God That Failed” is one of my top 3 favorite songs from The Black Album (alongside “Through the Never” and “My Friend of Misery”). This is probably the best live version of TGTF that I’ve ever heard. I like the sound/mix of this performance I also liked that Rob used a pick during this song. Shoutout to Kirk, who nailed the solo and didn’t even have to use a wah pedal! James’ vocals sounds pretty good too and he has a nice guitar tone here as well.

[@villager6738]

Lars is going insane these days. Love him every more and more

love the simple heavy riff

[@felynecomrade]

That was what made the Black Album the titanic monster it is. Just like Black Sabbath, just like AC/DC, just like Pantera, just like Enter Sandman and Sad But True. No bullshit, just heavy riffs given the space they need to breathe and flex and swagger.

[@Mrcloc]

[@ryantaylor3246]

I really dont think that anyones mind has the capacity of words that could explain the greatness of this band.

Wait? Are Trujillo actually paying a tribute to Newsted? I mean his bass is higher up and he is also playing with a pick! Awesome!

Ótima musica perfeita desde 1986 quando eu tinha 16 anos de idade já curtia metálica e sempre vou curtir metálica para sempre

[@simonmano0825]

This song in D sounds even more badass. But, sadly, I think that it means that for James is now more difficult than ever to reach high notes.

[@Torchbearer666]

THat's because ur voice lowers with age so unless your training classically chances are you're going to have to downtune the songs

[@SonovaBish]

This was originally in D.

[@williamvogelsang2492]

Kirk switched guitars during the song. At 1:45 or so, he is playing, judging by the headstock, what looks to be a Gibson Flying V. Then at about 2:28, he is playing a Jackson RRT.

[@SokolRock]

In my opinion, Metallica sounds much better when the bassist plays with a pick, not fingers. The overall sound is much clearer and heavier.

[@federicogonzalez8945]

Because it’s the only way you can actually hear it. It cuts better through the mix this way but they should just turn it up so it can always be heard and let Robert decide whether to play with a pick or not in order to get the tone he wants.

[@aha3885]

Cliff Burton disagrees.
