[@JamesGilbert_]

Using that as the first _72 Seasons_ single, as well as releasing it without even telling anybody to expect it, was such a great call.

[@jompahyeah7635]

We all got surprised. even the band was surprised when they heard the single

[@mayorofthenonsense]

Looking back on it, it was pretty obvious actually. They had already started a full media campaign with all kinds of promotional stuff a good 9-12 months before the album dropped. These guys were doing talk-show tours and new merchandising deals for months before Lux Eterna was released as the first single. They just didn’t talk about new material and made sure that nobody else did either. They are Metallica after all - if there’s one band that knows business and marketing, it’s these guys.

[@kevinwillson341]

I loved it, the last two albums(dm and hwtsd) were hyped up and teased for years. No teasing this time around, just Metallica kicking ass

[@MKDumas1981]

Apparently, James wanted to name the album _Lux Æterna,_ but got outvoted. That's why it's yellow.

[@PiazzaGurl]

That was Lars’ brain in action for sure. He’s made really good moves for the band. To keep them relevant but not trying too hard. He’s a great engineer in the studio too.

[@Randomeris1]

Even if the mic acts up, crowd can sing for James

[@charitinisepsa7180]

it's not the mic. something must've gone wrong with the editing.

More like, having the most badass down-picking right hand in all of metal and still being able to sing. But yeah lol😂

I’ve been playing for 20 years since I was four, been singing and playing the guitar for nearly 8 years and I can barely keep the rhythm lmao

[@patrickschardt7724]

I really like these extended intros they have been doing. I think it hypes the crowd up even more

[@nimrod343]

It also gives Lars time to rest between songs.

Whenever the mic acts up, it reminds me that THESE GUYS DON’T PLAY WITH A TRACK HIDING THEIR MISTAKES. THEY SOUND SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

[@noperception5073]

Is it just that kind of mic? Sure it looks cool, but if they act up so much, why bother? Could be the cabling system that was shoddy.

So awesome that they didn't post-edit the vocals. That's the magic of live performance, the energy and the feedback from the crowd.

[@gaborkiss1425]

This is damn Metallica, they don't need such shenanigans to shine...

[@cmallmann]

I am 45 years old. For about 30 years I've been listening to heavy metal and its subgenres. It's impressive. Nothing, absolutely nothing that was recorded or that is recorded surpasses: "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "... and justice for all". They are eternal albums. In 100 years when they talk about heavy metal, I'm sure these 3 albums will be cited as a reference. Metallica is the greatest metal band in history.

[@pdegan2814]

Man, I really hope they make a bluray release for this tour, like the Quebec Magenetic or Francais Pour Une Nuit videos. These shows look like SO much fun

Metallica makes me emotional for some reason. I always knew who they were, knew some songs, but the way I've become so obsessed these last few months, got tickets to their show in LA, went to the album screening. I even saw Blackened whisky in a store this weekend and bought it... I feel captured by their intensity at this stage in their career.

Lux Aeterna is possibly one of the greatest Pop songs ever written, and I mean that as a compliment. Fast, aggressive, chaotic... perfect for the early 21st Century. Sidenote: I absolutely love the electronic song intros. I want to hear more of these.
