Finally they played it live. Now i am excited for room of mirrors especially for the harmony part

[@BENNYB-ze4dw]

RoM is to me a beast of a song and live would be so crazy good. That solo will be a good challenge for Kirk because its that damn good and the harmonizing is a super treat. Top 3 off the album. they are killing it like fine wine.

[@vinifariaslima]

I wish they don't keep the same new songs for this whole tour leg, like in Europe. I'm really curious to listen how the other tracks sound live

[@MoreAwsomeMetal]

@@vinifariaslima I think they'll keep those 2 new songs for the rest of the shows in North America to come until they play at the Power Trip festival (where they will do a special 1 night show considered to be outside of the 72 Seasons Tour, and I really hope it will be the night where they play the entire AJFA album, but that's another story). Then they'll rotate the 72 Seasons songs, adding 2 others to the set list and removing 2 others, and they'll end up this years tour with that... I'm not sure we will hear all of 72 Seasons songs live: ever since the Black Album was out, Death Magnetic (and it's B-side EP Beyond Magnetic) was the only album which had all it's songs played live...

[@joshroberts5428]

Lately I’ve been listening to their first four albums a lot lately, after obsessing over this album for the entire summer so far. And this past week I listened to Load for the first time in nearly a decade and I realized “Holy fuck their new album sounds just like old Metallica” and god I realized how much I dislike Load and Reload

[@sheldor4071]

One of the best songs on this new album.

[@dapig3656]

I mean when i first heard the album it was like “this is the best song" next one "Nah this is even better” and on and on lol

[@antonioenrico]

Love it when bands tweak their songs ever so slightly in the live shows. It makes the experience even more unique.

[@zerodefects26]

That main riff is absolutely BRUTAL and heavy AF!! 72 Seasons is Metallica's BEST record since ...And Justice For All. There is not a bad or weak song on the entire record! The band are sounding tight and James' voice has never been better. James is my hero! I love all the guys in Metallica (past and present) but James has a special place in my heart and I can relate to his well documented struggles.
