Metallica - No Leaf Clover (Live S&M) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@nicosilva8724]

James best vocal performance ever! And that 90's live metallica sound overall was flawless. SO F*****G HEAVY.

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

Yeah, but still the vocals were re-recorded in the studio (first two choruses show it)

[@shortman3980]

Yes but James used autotune on this album you need listen carefully to the only vocal version

[@dizzle7558]

​@@shortman3980Do you even know what autotune is?..Please explain..

[@shortman3980]

@@dizzle7558 It is a plug-in that corrects the intonation problem (the off the tone) in the soloist or instrument channels.

@@shortman3980 Just checking..That sounds about right actually..Didn't that come out a year or two before they performed this?

[@bigstevej0460]

This song was especially written for the show . Which is why it sounds flawless

[@prateekchatterjee5199]

Thats the legendary Michael Kamen orchestrating the whole show. He was literally one of the best arranger of orchestra for so many bands, specially to mention Pink Floyd (u can hear it all in comfortably numb). Metallica and San Francisco symphony collaborated in thie concert in '99 titled S&M and most recently S&m -2 . Unfortunately we lost Kamen in 2004 otherwise we could have seen more from him. This whole concert is itself legendary. And this song is one of the best off it . Good reaction !!

[@JD.Knight]

He did the score for Robin Hood prince of Thieves too, one of my favorite scores.

Metallica with Jason were at the absolute top of their live game at this time. It used to blow my mind that this song only exists as a live track, not having a studio recording, but honestly, it doesnt need the studio treatment….this, right here, is perfect.

[@pickamaterina1313]

actually this song exist studio recorded but it has never seen the daylight yet, maybe some day i know this from i think behind the scenes lars says that the song was recorded 2 years prior to the show so maybe they saved song to release it only live as exlusive thing for sm idk

[@Disp0sable_Hero]

It's because the song was written for that show with Micheal Kamen. They the basic riff of the song via jam sessions and they sat down with Micheal and the chose to write this and - human.

[@mitchand9]

The song was not specifically written for the orchestra. James states that the song was already written but incomplete at the time and felt it was the best song that the orchestra could add something new to it.

[@jmhaces]

That's a great observation and you're so right. It's so perfectly performed that it's one of those rare songs you never even wonder what a studio version would sound like. I hadn't even thought about it until I read your comment and this record is like 20 years old.

METALLICA… through the years has been my favorite band. Case in point: no other band that created THRASH METAL then said now w/ a full SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA LIVE!!!!😎😎

[@virgildantefrazier1]

To me this will always be signature song to represent Metallica S$M. Of their entire library, there was no better song written to go along with symphonic orchestration. It is almost anthem-worthy. I love this one also for the fact that it emotionally takes me somewhere with the collaborative sound. When the song ends, i trully feel like i have been somewhere

[@Gaarathedemonsand]

"Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel is just a freight train coming your way" that always tripped me out for some reason like dude is saying, now you've got what you wanted. Was it worth it?

[@km6509]

Used to sleep with my TV on MTV as a teen (90s) and woke up to this concert playing one night and was obsessed!

[@CaliDBan]

So whimsical and just goes off the rails, the song is like a fairy tale, so many up and downs. I still remember the day watching the DVD when it first came out with friends. The entire concert is fantastic. Straight up blew my mind, and on point with saying it is different than most symphonic metal, I see you. 😁

[@jimmyb524]

Hero of the Day is insanely good from this concert

[@pjsnickers76]

That was at the Berkeley Community Theater. The greatest concert I’ve ever been to. No Leaf Clover was EPIC!

This is some other prime of Metallicas career. 98 garage inc and Woodstock 99 gig. And this with symphony. Another prime, maaan!!!

[@ricardovasconcelos2711]

Yes, no leaf clover, from the first S&M.. you're doing it right gentlemen.

[@HeadspaceCools]

You guys are exactly right... The reason it works so well is due to Heavy Metal, as a genre, being much closer to classical music in form than almost any other popular music genre today. The structure and composition of (good) Heavy Metal songs, and when it come to ALL of the best metallica, have SO much in common with classical compositions, and so many Heavy Metal musicians are formally/classically trained musicians as well. Cliff Burton was really the proper "musician" of the group when they were first starting out... and he taught James and Lars a LOT about song composition. The difference between just their first two albums was only a single year, but they sound WORLDS apart. Their first album is this raw, punky, fast, thrash-fest of aggressive riffs and manic energy. Their second album is a symphonic, often slow-paced, intricate and haunting composition. You can feel Burton's influence in that incredibly short time... and they never would have succeeded were it not for him. Pairing those very classically-influence/adjacent songs with a symphony, honestly, is a no-brainer once you have a real appreciation for how a lot of Metallica's songs are structured.

This is my all time favorite Metallica song 🎶

[@jjoao32]

Travis was on point with the symphonic comment, for me the difference is that symphonic metal is written with that mindset already and in this case this is a pure metal song with the symphony doing it’s arrangements around it. It just works on so many levels. And the way they were able to mesh both without each overpowering the other is genius work in the arrangements. Metallica are gods.

[@Jonw8222]

This song and Minus Human (or just "Human") were written for this show with the orchestra in mind. The rest were written without orchestra and then later added by Michael Kamen. Nothing Else Matters did have Michael Kamen do orchestra for the original studio version on the black album but it's mostly in the background and ambient.. rather than the S&M version where the orchestra is very high in the mix.

[@AlphaAlex1]

S&M is one the the greatest things on earth.

As one might expect from the trio, they absolutely rocked the stage! Kicking off Metallica's Seoul show on January 11, 2017, BABYMETAL opened the night with an explosive 6-song set. If you ask the girls who is there musical influence, they will say with a big smile METALLICA. Metallica showed them how amazing metal music can be, and the girls respect them a lot.

Metallica wrote this song solely for this collaboration with the symphony in mind. You know how Four Leaf Clovers are good luck? Well this is about a No Leaf Clover, Bad luck! ...hence the chorus, "when it comes to be the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, it's just a freight train coming your way". That awesome venue is my high school alma mater; The 3490 seat Berkeley Community Theatre on the campus of Berkeley High School just two blocks from THE University of California. It was completed in 1950 after being postponed because of the war (WWII) it is known for its art-deco design and bas-relief greek sculptures around the white walls of the building. Countless iconic concerts were held there since the sixties including Jimi Hendrix in 1969 which was made into a documentary film. Fun fact, lead guitar player Kirk Hammett is the same age as me and he attended one of our local rival schools

I don't know how much orchestra collaboration there was, but they did play two new songs at this gig. This being one of them and minus human being the other one... They might have been done with the late great Michael Kamen to get the best of both worlds into one. The other compositions are bloody marvellous as well, but there the orchestral elements have been added in "post production" to already existing songs. They did do S&M2 in 2019 just before James went into rehab... And it does have some very special songs on it as well. These are almost tributes to Cliff Burton, he was a classically trained musician and influenced the early sound of Metallica heavily. These types of concerts would have been just heaven for Cliff.

This is what blows everyone's minds. Symphonic metal is written purposely. Metallica didnt write music thinking one day a symphony would play their music, much less play with one (aside from Nothing Else Matters) so the fact that the mesh of both styles fit so perfectly and why the collaboration worked so well is a testament to the foundation on which Metallica's music is created. Also, Michael Kamen deserves a lot of credit. He is the one that could hear what no one would've imagined. Im not sure where I read the quote but he said Metallica's music is like a movie, he's just writing the soundtrack to it. Listen to Call of Ktulu from this show, the first track of this show, you knew you were in for an epic night.

[@acikelsadik]

love u guys when u listening masters. keep it up please.

[@kyleenglot4221]

It's only fitting that Classical music elements and metal go together like wine and cheese. You have to think that back they didn't have electricity so obviously we didn't have modern abilities to feed high gain volume and tone to guitars and Bass. Composers like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich etc., were the original metal composers of their era. Their music was hugely complex and pieces were written to fill great castle halls, manor estates and opera houses with pure musical sound.

[@krazzko]

[@morgandastrup6576]

The solo in this song was created on the fly in the show. Kirk had no solo in kind until it happened

[@jmhaces]

Though I really enjoy the S&M album I always thought that most of the songs sound just like what they are: a Metallica song that got some orchestral arrangements added on top. This song, on the other hand, is exactly what the album's concept promises: Metallica with an Orchestra. Everything blends seamlessly and the song would be all the lesser if you removed anything from it, regardless if the part that was removed was from the band or the orchestra's part. It's a beautiful piece of music and it was also a beautiful performance from everybody involved. These guys came out of the gate swinging, performing a brand new song nobody had heard and it was an instant classic. That's why they are legends.

[@Edessa_G]

This whole show is incredible. But the stand out one for me is The Thing That Should Not Be. I know you’ve reacted to it before, but the S&M version is a totally different entity! Much love to you guys, and keep up the great work, musically and , of course, reactionary 🤘🙂🤘
