[@antonioenrico]

@@hetfieldye8463 i always feel like they should switch Sad But with Thing. It has the same heavy feel, so it can swap out really well. I feel like thats how they can play around with their setlist. Take one song they regularly play and swap it out with another song with the same vibe. Like Fuel, they need to ditch that for Prince Charming. Same album era, same sort of speed and vibe.

@Paul Zuegn I mean.. You definitely were forcing your ideologies. No matter how you'd wanna look it. I'm great friends with a lot of Christians and being an Atheist I have no issue with these friends of mine and their religion as long as they don't pretend to be holier than thou. Puns intended? You can listen to fucking Slayer and be a Christian. My best friend and Co-worker is a 100,000% Christian but can shred some Slayer and not be fearful of his deity. You should be able to do the same with anything and everything in your life. Be free, man. Don't ever weigh yourself down because you're fearful of a God, if your God is so loving and kind he'd let you do anything that wasn't rape, murder, stealing and lying. Live your life and let others live theirs with dignity, privacy and respect. Respect and love, my man.

God this performance is unbelievable! Vocals! HEAVINESS! SOLO! EVERYTHING!

[@lavenspace22]

Here's an example of how James can make his vocal range sound similar to what it used to sound like back in '89... What a man. \m/

[@McDangle2769]

I'm a drummer and I know when the timing is a little off... Lars was such a good drummer timing wise up until these last 4 years man. Still one of the best bands ever. Long live baby

[@SFforlife]

This was a fuckin HEAVY performance. 🤘🏻

[@wandring1]

Goddamn I love this song. Second favorite Metallica song after Blackened. It's so HEAVY.

[@doodlebob3758]

Most bands would kill to have this song they apparantly wrote with the mindset of "we need one more song for the album thats heavy and chunky"

[@joshbaker729]

They need to play this song more often. It’s one of the most epic metallica songs ever.

[@papi_groove]

James's voice is fuckin' coming back. Insane screams and magnificent little growl

[@Alex-me9zg]

This must be one James’s favorites, it’s like he’s singing 100% here

[@Redh3adTheRedFox]

In my opinion, their absolute best and heaviest song. Absolutely awesome to hear that they’re adding in their set list again!

[@AnonymousIcarus]

This song is a bulldozer. It isn’t too fast. It just flattens you with its heaviness slowly and steadily.

[@cruachan1191]

You can always tell when they play this song how much James loves it, one of his best vocal performances here.

[@marshallantara190]

Whenever I get the notification from Metallica I become the fastest shit on this world and after I open it I'm never disappointed . Metallica is never getting old🖤🤘

[@SonovaBish]

Lars is having a tough time with the tempo on this one. It still sounds killer.

[@Johnmcpeace]

I know, right??

[@supragraf]

They clearly wanted to play it slower, like they do with a lot of their old songs nowadays, but Lars is dragging even more, and you’ll occasionally hear these awkward hiccups where the beat is just so far off.

[@samsoniteeee]

It’s painfully off

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

I can't fathom how Lars played the parts on the AJFA album… and suck this much years later. Was he a hack all along or did he lose his chops??!!

[@ow_oso]

I’m so glad Metallica took a “do what we want when we want approach” with this album. They gave us bangers like these when we don’t want to bang our heads at 220bpm 😂

[@user-pl4ky4fk5f]

Fucking bad ass. They need to play this live more.

[@hammyhog4748]

I hot to see them twice on the early nineties. F**king brilliant!
