Hetfield’s voice was on another planet back then.

[@NamelessKing.Sun1]

Give me a time machine

[@adamyahya4638]

Everyone likes to point to one year that was Metallica's prime but in my opinion it was a span of 2 albums: Justice through end of Black. They were at their peak in the studio as well as out of the studio playing live. Every show since Justice has been tighter and tighter which I think peaked around 93ish-94. So you basically have from 88-94 as their peak.....in my opinion of course. That's just how I rated it.

[@kleenklyine]

@@adamyahya4638 I agree, the whole band was unstoppable back then, literally everything was perfect, james's voice, the guitar tones, the drums, lars, and the energy.

Kirk would always figure out what he would play for solos prior to the show, it wasn't improvised during the show itself but the solo was most likely conjured up in the tuning room right before the show. Still impressive no matter what

@@bes5164 you can adapt to things live you do realise ? What. Just because James stepped away doesn’t mean it’s not improvised.

He’s actually sounding incredible right now. I’d argue that he got a good chunk of his power and growl back around Hardwired. And I’ve heard him during the pandemic and he’s sounding even better with the time off. So I’m hoping their new album is a complete return to the early 90’s Hetfield. Of course we all age and the vocals deepen but that’s not a bad thing for James’ style...as long as the bark is there.

The mixing of this song is soo great. You can clearly hear every instrument in the band.

[@broomstick7247]

kirk was at the top of his game that night... that end solo. just the overral energy of him and his playing was fucking great

[@simongunner5327]

Best Metallica song hands down ! Spine tingling

[@johnex3303]

Awesome, fucking awesome performance of one of my favorite Metallica songs.

[@MillonarioJMV]

johny johny yes papa eating sugar ? no papa

[@heydavid4883]

Woah there John. Watch your mouth

[@MrMetallidude]

Perfect performance of a perfect song. I think I might cry.

[@hardtardbard7]

Jason Newsted + Hetfield singing very cool

[@EquineMetalhead]

This is my favorite song off of the Metallica Album or The Black Album. It’s just got such a beautiful sound with the acoustic, the clean tone and then of course the heavy tone. Drumming sounds great, bass line sounds good, Kirk’s solos are awesome as always and then James’s beautiful voice just ties it all together! This song is so good it can put me to sleep if I can’t sleep like at all! It’s an awesome song and I love it!

[@fernandaamores3202]

No doubt, this is one of the best songs 🎶👐

[@iam_wonjae]

Kirk with Fender? unexpected!

[@MrRafting]

Heltflippad i was pretty amazed when i saw a strat in his hands..

[@gurkanz16]

It's an ESP Custom Model Strat-like guitar of K.H. He used it also in the music video of One. You can see the ESP logo on the video. In addition, if you watched making of death magnetic movie, he has a Telecaster-like ESP guitar, too (and it has humbuckers) :D

[@jimlunn]

Nah he used to quite a bit

[@enesfarukgunes7869]

Won Jae Choi he used a lot.

[@niranjanmadhu2609]

It's esp the one which he used in the song "one "

[@StoinisPoinis]

What i would give to see Metallica live in the late 80’s/early 90’s…..man

[@CirclingtheFringes]

Strongest voice in metal in this period. Glad i saw them then.

[@parab0l]

Best performance EVER!

[@jacasoasheland6815]

can someone tell me how he plays with the guitar hanging down to his ankles

[@raysdga]

Skill, long arms and back surgery.

[@vannacee26]

Jacaso Asheland Yeah, what Raysdga said. Add age being a factor, too. You'll notice he no longer wears his guitars that low these days. ;)

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

you get more leverage the lower it is

[@ibo6756]

At first it was fucking hard for me, too. But by the time passes playing Jeff Loomis stuffs, and when i turned back to my explorer and hold it low i noticed that it is much easier and easier to play even master of puppets or creeping death ,blackened.

[@juliuslimjoco8539]

Don't ever question how a god plays his guitar...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@juanv5375]

James' voice in that era was the rock voice perfection.

[@dannypol3384]

One of my favorite metallica song!👍never fades great metallica!

[@sylviafrench8551]

One of the best performances of Metallica unforgiven ever .I love the intro also the switching from mic to acoustic. Wish I was there .Come on James pull thru your hard times the world needs you.

[@ItsTimeIDisappear09]

2:38 the way all the notes hit with the bass drum. Gives me chills every time

[@Pletuhin]

This is the best live version of the best song ever. Thank you Metallica

[@MehtaKyaKehta]

The greatest band of all time.
