[@morkopubgm8655]

I was at helsinki saved me too

[@GabrielEliasIresSilva]

I just told my wife that... it's impossible to count the number of lives James has saved with Fade to black. Still to this day this is the one song I resort to whenever I'm feeling down. Cheers from Brazil, man!

Mental health is a big issue all over the world, it pays to talk

[@wildblueworld]

​@Fullmoonhowl101 It's not always or only mental health. That's a huge problem, all is seen as mental health and treated as such, but it's NOT all the cases. And maybe that's the reason why thus issue can't yet be truly or effectively solved.

[@jesusmacedo8331]

One of the best renditions of this song. I was at this concert, and I believe what made this version extra special, is that the boys came back with a vengeance! Previously, they played Too Far Gone and lost their way in the song at the solo, couldn't finish the song properly and actually apologized, James even said that they would have to come back and perform it better next time. Right after was the Kirk&Rob doodle with the luchadores song which got the crowd ready again. Then came Fade to Black, and you could feel James' intensity, Kirks focus, Rob in the pocket, and even Lars hitting extra hard in the solo at the end. Great humans living the moment to the fullest! Thanks for this great version of Fade!

[@8tonystark8]

Finally the solo sounded almost as the record

[@oscar8565]

Actually Kirk played the most melodic section of the solo different. Great performance though

[@adamyahya4638]

@@8tonystark8 absolutely insane you think that. Wild shit. That was a terrible noodling solo and it was lazy. Go watch Fade to Black in Moscow 1991 and THAT is how the solo should be played live.

People say Kirk can't improvise. I liked his last solo. I love Kirk's style anyway. Give me Kirk over all the technical show-offs any day!

[@dionshare7103]

Kirk Hammett is my favorite guitarist.

[@xUnfx]

Cause he can't. For about last 30 years he's "improvisation" is the same random pentatonic wah-wah shit. He totally lost himself in this solo, he doesn't even know where he is at the time. He had potential to be huge, but he was too lazy to make it happen. Satriani wasted his time on him, unfortunately.
