Best performance of this song and I've seen them live too many times to count. I've always wandered how James made the guitar sound like that at the end of the song at 5:42

[@re_1241]

He did the same sound with the guitar at the end of the song in the "Butt naked" performance, in 1994, the solo in video is amazing

@@re_1241 it’s budged for over 25 years heading that sound live was fucking amazing and I was 14 back then. I have a less Paul didn’t learnt to play properly I didn’t know you could make a guitar sound like that. James dean Bradfield is deffo the most under ratted guitar player across on genres his own written music on some some song across all they albums and genres they gone through is amazing and it’s not slamming cords together. When I took lessons it’s bloody hard playing design for life looking at the guitar never mind singing and jumping in circles around the stage. I suppose it’s the same In all professions people on get Recognition for they extreme talent after their death. And if anybody else says he mediocre they haven’t seen them live and don’t know their old albums. A lot of the old songs guitar music insane.

@IceCat7 not sure what Hammer on twang is. I bought a les Paul when I was 13 with money my family put aside for that was meant to be getting a driving licence mortgage deposit and so on. I only did basic guitar lessons as life happened I started hanging around with the wrong crowd and didn’t sort myself out till my mid 20s and didn’t pick up guitar lesson again :(
