New Metallica? YES! Vocal ANALYSIS of "Lux Æterna" from their new album!

For those of you who know early Metallica, you'll hear the sound of Hit the Lights before and after the guitar solo.

[@clintmorrison5863]

The song gives me some Motorhead vibes as well

@@TheCharismaticVoice You'd have fun with Lemmy's voice Elizabeth and his microphone placement.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Lemmy is about as iconic as they come, he embodied the true spirit of rock & roll like few others. His image belied a certain earthy wisdom and kindness of heart. He didn't have what you would call a pretty singing voice, but similarly to someone like Ozzy, the sound of his whisky-soaked vocals was archetypal for heavy rock, metal, and punk. There is a lot of friendly and sometimes not so friendly rivalry between the various genres and subgenres of heavy music, but Motörhead and Lemmy are one of the few that command respect among all of them.

I heard an interview with James Hetfield just this afternoon, he was talking about how easy and fun it was to write this song. They apparently had an amazing time doing it and it just flowed right out all by itself. I think that energy definitely comes across both in the lyrics and the music, thanks for jumping on this new song so quickly!

[@MichaelRobinson-wu9ob]

Like the song until Kirk’s solo in my opinion. There’s just no flow or groove to it. It’s unfortunate that it brings the song down for me.

[@metamon2704]

Frankly that is what I wish for them, to be together without conflict, they are too old for that shit,

[@chadleabo]

It's really a very exciting new single. James has really refined his singing style to maximize longevity. If they come to town you must go see them. their live shows are so much fun.

[@ArmoredSpider74]

Absolutely agree! If you don't leave their show exhausted and smiling, you ain't doin' it right.🤘😁🤘

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

They're coming to town in September, then again in Seattle next year. I'm considering one of those shows!

[@1danwynn]

@The Charismatic Voice I so hope you do get to see Metallica! The first time I saw them was 1988 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Volume limits were higher then. It was a wall of sound, roaring and writhing like the baddest D&D boss beast you'd never want to face - but actually you would 😉 It was rough and unrefined but the pure energy was electrifying! I'm going to Download in England in June where they are headlining TWICE at the same festival; 2 completely different sets! Taking my young nephews there for their first metal gig. It's gonna be a stormer! 😃

[@davidriddick82]

YESSSS ELIZABETH!!!! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻 I love your excitement and how you really enjoy James and how he sings and is so signature. He has worked on his vocals, and in truth, he didn’t really start “singing or trying to sing” until he worked with Bob Rock on the Black Album, so I believe they went 4 albums without James really having any real “singing” help from anyone else. I CANT WAIT TO SEE A TEA TIME INTERVIEW WITH JAMES DOWN THE ROAD!! That would be insane and I hope you can do that too

[@bradpriebe9218]

As many others have said, looking at their first album (Kill 'Em All) you can hear a resemblance in the "attitude" and the genesis of where they are now. After 40 years, James'voice is obviously different with age but it would be fun to see you compare then with now (btw, the aggression has ALWAYS been there). The songs Whiplash, Motorbreath and Four Horsemen would be good ones to analyze.

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

Seeing the title of this song had my brain confused for a second. In my school time in Denmark I was told that vowels like 'Æ' was not in the english language, but then it dawned on me that this title is in latin and not english 😅

[@Songbird888]

Yes yes yes! All of it. That guitar solo though, my God, had me gasping!

[@allanmautino9338]

James certainly has worked on his voice! He warms up his voice before each show with a cassette that a vocal coach gave him after a few lessons. He took a few lessons back in the day because he blew his voice out during the black album tour.

[@1232lwcraig]

Watching you analyze Metallica is an absolute thrill. Metallica has meant so much to me so it's rad to see someone appreciate them the way I do.

Aside from the expert commentary and critique you provide in your videos, which I enjoy. What really makes me love your videos is how excited you get when you hear something that really strikes your fancy. The way your eye light up and your smile, it's like a kid in a candy factory. I love that you love my favorite band in the whole world that I have been listening to for 33 years.

[@berserkrhadley]

It's probably been mentioned, but the "Full Speed or Nothing" is another likely nod to one of their first songs, "Motorbreath", which had the line "Dont stop for nothing, it's full speed or nothing, I'm taking down, y'know, whatever's in my way"

[@kouroshkabir77]

You are the only persone who breaks down music so beatiful and precise. You change the way I used to listen to music, now I start understanding the professioanal music is not just music and lyrics, it really mean something below the surface and I try to pick as much as I can. Thank you

Please. I really want to see the analysis of the song "The Outlaw Torn". A very powerful and heartbreaking song. James said that the song is about "the death of a loved one and trying to find a replacement that will never be." Live recording with a symphony orchestra in 2019. (S&M2)

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

17:31 I think this is the right call about it being the show opener, though it presumably only be about half of the shows (they're doing two nights in each city with different setlists each night). The lyrics are ALL about live performance. The first verse says: "Anticipation in domination A sea of hearts beat as one, unified Magnification, all generations Approaching thunder awaiting the light" That's the energy of 10s of thousands of fans at any live show, really, but a Metallica show in particular. The second and third verses continue that theme: "Exhilaration, frenzied sensation Kindred alliance connected inside Commiseration, sonic salvation Cast out the demons that strangle your life" "Emancipation kill isolation Never alone for the feelings alike Amplification lightning the nation Never alive more than right here tonight" I hope everyone gets the chance to see one these shows. It really is an experience that can't be matched.

[@michaelbeahn5977]

I love these reviews of Metallica and the notice and care for the sonic storytelling they do so well. Going back to the day so many were shutting their ears off to the intensity of the sound and missing out on what a masterful thing these guys do. Another great review.

I knew this reaction was coming, was just curious as to when. I could remember thinking as I was checking out some of the other reaction channels taking a look at this song, "Oh my, Elizabeth is going to have fun with this one!" It's such a hard-fought battle to have anything live up to your expectations, but this was just so much fun to watch, I cannot say thank you enough for taking on reacting to Metallica's new release early!!!

[@craigskaggs8490]

This is for sure a call back to early Metallica and the 80s metal sound of the new wave of British heavy metal in the 80s while heavy and fast but was also melodic. Great song and as always great to see Elizabeth just geek out and be giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. As always great analysis and reaction. Fan for life keep up the great work.☺🥰🤘🤘🤘

[@courtneyurman]

You can see this performed live for the first time ever - they performed it at their All Within My Hands Foundation benefit concert just a few weeks ago and released the video on their YT channel. James modified how he sang "lux æterna" a few times to be closer to the proper Latin pronunciation. I'm excited to have tickets for when M72 comes to Minneapolis in August 24. 🤘

[@yeahboiii6640]

I have been a fan of Metallica since the beginning. I like this tune. I have always loved how they interweave space and pace changes in. Keeps the song from becoming monotone and boring. Also James does sound very good now. I think he did kind of lose his vocals a while back but he sounds very solid and much more comfortable now! Sounds like he has found a great place for his voice. Sounds great and sounds complete....I don't know the words here :)

[@erichebert5824]

You're not the only one who nerds out on MetallicA. They're doing 2 shows in Chicago (where I am) and if you can get tickets to the night where they will be with Pantera, I HIGHLY recommend that one (even without Dime and Vin, it will still be a hell of a show).

As soon as I saw you start to explore some of the heavier music suggestions all I could think was "her attitude is in the right place and she's an educated musician... she's gonna LOVE this". I'm happy I was right, and I'm extra happy that you're here. You've helped me think about my voice in ways I hadn't before I started watching your channel and I can't thank you enough.

I started my musical journey at the age of nine, learning different instruments, including piano, over the years. Bought my first guitar at 15 (thanks to Metallica, who pulled me into metal in 87 with Master of Puppets). Been playing and writing music since. So many don’t realize the link between metal and classical music, but anyone who is familiar with music theory can hear it. You’re able to pull out the classical elements in modern music and explain them in a way that laymen can understand. (Listen to enough Metallica, you’ll find James Hetfield really likes the Phrygian mode).

[@jpruiz600]

Elizabeth, your passion and enthusiasm for music is infectious and I love it. Metallica is something I've listened to for 30 years and is the band that got me into metal in the first place.

As a long time Metallica fan, I can confirm this song sounds a lot like their first album with one major difference: James' vocals are much, much better, in my opinion. He's a lot more musical now, but he's also had vocal training since then. Despite the high energy of the song, I actually feel like he sounds very relaxed in this. There's no strain in his voice, even the high notes. And trust me, his vocal range has shifted a little to a lower range over time. Please, please, listen to Nothing Else Matters and No Leaf Clover, both from the 1999 S&M performance. His vocals were on point there.

It's no mistake that James' vocal abilities match that of an operatic singer. His mother was a trained opera singer.

He disfrutado mucho, y no solo con la canción, sino con la manera en la que lo has vivido y experimentado, con esa ilusión, sorpresa y disfrute tuyo que ha incrementado, si cabe, el mío. Congratulations!

Another awesome video from you! I would love for you to do Bleeding Me from the Load album after you've completed the Unforgiven trilogy. My favorite from that album, always sends shivers up my spine! Copenhagen 2022 is a great live of it fyi .

So many sounds in this that sounds like the 80s rock sound.

Just in case nobody has pointed it out to Elizabeth yet, James actually blew out his voice during the Black Album tour that went on the first few years of the 90's. You can definitely hear it between live shows done at the beginning of the tour (circa 1991/92) and the end (circa 1993/94). The largest factor was that he was belting his distortion in an extremely unhealthy way and drinking constantly throughout this period. Somewhere in 93' he lost it almost completely and had to work with vocal specialists to retrain his singing voice. There is a large contrast in the way he sings between the Black Album (1991) and their next 2 albums Load and REload (1995/1996). There was also a dynamic shift in their music at the time that allowed him to shift his vocals around while trying to learn this healthier way of singing. Their first 4 albums were almost nothing but belts, the 5th (the Black Album) had him trying more vocal dynamics (definitely the "best" period of vocals that agreed with each of their earlier songs) and unfortunately the crazy 3 and a half year tour following the 5th album put such a tremendous strain on his vocals that he lost the ability to belt like he could before. It took him another 6 years before entering rehab for the drinking, and another 4-5 years before he could get a good handle on his distortion again. It wouldn't be until somewhere around 2014 that he was finally able to control the distortion in his vocals live and it shows amazingly well in 2016's Hardwired album. (Check out the song "Spit Out the Bone"). He's put a ton of work towards regaining a solid control over his voice for the performance, but at the same time..... nobody watches Metallica and goes to see Metallica for a "good" vocal performance. Their guitar work and musicianship and showmanship is why we love Metallica. Thanks for listening to the rant! Hope all is well! :)
