Metallica performs wherever i may roam live in san diego 1992

Every shot of James makes him look like the most badass person on the planet, and he definitely was

he served looks, guitar skills, amazing vocals, and was apart of one of the best bands to ever be on earth.

[@thomfvc]

+dulltony1 well they're not too old to stop sounding like a shitty nu metal band (im talking guitar sound, not songwritting) and lets face it, its like lars doesnt even give a shit anymore.

[@dulltony1]

Lars is fucking atrocious. The last time I ever heard him play good was when they reunited with Jason. And even then he fucked up the song. (Creeping Death)

[@icedviking4485]

Lars is actually fucking awesome this year. Btw. I miss Jason in Metallica as well, he was the man... Jason Fucking Newsted! \m/

[@sebassarria1]

The way Lars played the drums during those years was so dynamic and animated. His head bobbling around, i remember being a kid and watching this concert, and thinking how fucking badass he looked behind that kit.

[@DeathcoreHusky]

At 10 i was looking at lars and say he fucking god and he badass 15 years later i still say the same thing in this years lars was probably one of the top 5 best drummer in the world

[@sloedwn7710]

He’s pretty much the drummer that forced me to learn to play when I was a kid

[@jean-carlosdasilva6347]

Many (lightyears better) drummers say Lars was at some point their inspiration. Might not be a good drummer, but man he did make an impact and opened doors for many.

[@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns]

Agreed. While he's never going to win a drumming contest against someone like Lombardo, you've got to remember that Lars constructed (ie arranged) all the songs and he was an absolute master at that, so he basically arranged the songs in the way that he, the drummer, wanted. And I think that's a big part behind the band's success. His drum parts might not be the best but they are fun!

[@ItaSari-n2q]

👎👎👎

[@nathanjones411]

‘88-92 was the best

[@jkjl234]

one thing I'll never understand: why is it that certain "metal heads" will never give props to the black album for probably being millions of future "metal heads" first introduction to real metal?

[@Egonzal316]

Because they are close minded and think if a later album doesn't sound like their first album, it automatically means they are sell outs.

[@RuffisInc]

+Elias Gonzalez not sounding like Kill Em All would be a good thing. The album wasn't actually that great and the production was fucking awful. The "TRUE" Metallica fans don't like this album because you can actually hear bass playing that isn't Cliff Burton and the timings are more conventional. Other than that, it's a heavy metal album through and through with the exception of nothing else matters

[@icedviking4485]

I am a true Metallica fan, and I always loved the Black Album, and I fucking love Lars as well, fuck haters...

[@Markkos89]

[@Dragonblaster1]

+ kjl234 I am a major Maidenhead from the 80s and probably will be till I die, but the Black Album is seminal metal listening. Should be mandatory.

[@RuffisInc]

One of the top five Metallica performances of all time. No doubt about it

[@jaymz]

one of the best tours* almost all the shows in this time period were the same

[@RuffisInc]

+Infinity not quite, James lost a lot of the power in his voice during this tour. This was the last professionally recorded show where he had this kind of power. Just listen to this song in Mexico City in 1993. He has lost a lot of power at that point

[@jaymz]

RuffisInc "in this time period" when i mentioned that i meant the wherever i may roam tour. not the nowhere else to roam tour. i meant that all the shows spanning from june 1992 to late 1991 were basically the same

I saw Metallica open for Ozzie in 1986, then saw them in 88, 89, 91, 92, 94, 96, and 2008. That period from 1986 to 1994, Metallica was the biggest band in the world. The Black album tour lasted over 3 years, they were definitely at their peak at this time. So powerful onstage, amazing.

The zenith of Hetfield's voice... simply epic.

[@rattlehead999]

epic crowd, at the beginning it was louder than the intro.

[@HitmanFPS]

That’s because they were playing the full badass song

[@shimkeee]

I always wanted to know the real reason on why his voice went so bad. Like a medical point of view, he’s gotta know but just never talked about it openly.

[@noirjakey]

gumbi8989 i feel like its bc of the drugs or alcohol idk bro

[@Eris_Norregard]

@@noirjakey He didn't do any other drug than alcohol. But he was a really heavy drinker, so that must've done a lot of damage. That, and he'd been using improper vocal techniques - he only took pro lessons during TBA tour when he started losing his voice, before that, he'd just go as hard as he could, paying no mind to the fact he was damaging his vocal cords with that. You can hear it in basically every song in Seattle 89 show, those ultra harsh vocals. It sounds badass as fuck, but in long term game it's unsustainable.

[@rand0me]

@@gumbi8989 He probably just wanted to preserve his voice when he started getting older. It's not really bad, it's just more professional now. Look at Dave Mustaine for comparison, his voice went to absolute shit.

i believe he's referring to the song's ending 'jam' when recording, they knew this song was going to be 'arena rock' ...so at the end they tailed on a solo that they could just roll with, took kirk 2 or 3 takes in the studio. this specific one (they never do it note for note from album) both runs longer and rocks the **** out harder than any other live performance i have seen *best* in metal history, maybe not. but 20+ years later i still get a chill watching this

I have to say, that i hated this album when it first came out (being a hardcore Metallica fan at the time and all that), as it sounded too soft for my ears. If you ask me now, i think that the "Black Album" is the "Machine Head" of our time and "Enter Sandman" should be compared to "Smoke On The Water" hands down. As i am in my mid 40s i don't think i will live to see a more influential album than that. Metallica sure made a masterpiece and earned their place among the legends.
