I'm pleased for James that he got to play in front of one of his idols. I think some people forget that Metallica didn't grow up listening to thrash metal. They're hard rockers who helped create a genre, perfected it, outgrew it, and have been doing whatever the hell they like ever since, because they can.

Yes indeed! Thats why Metallica is the most adult-wise metal band among the other. Their influence is so wide, zz top, iggy pop, lynyrd skynyrd, thin lizzy, budgie, and many more.

@olm8829 6 күн бұрын

@@IswanjanaHariAdiI agree with you on that fully. I used to be one of so called “metal purists” in my teens and used to shit mercilessly on everything Metallica did after AJFA just because “it’s not metal enough” and because everyone did it. Now, ca. ten years later, Metallica is one of the few metal bands I still come back to, and I really enjoyed “Load”, “Reload” and three latest albums. I like their music, but I like their lyrics even more, in fact, James is one of my favourite lyricists in any genre. He has some sloppy lyrics here and there, but the majority of them are great and work great with the music. They are one of the few metal bands that cover themes like mental health and other personal issues, and do it really well, and I really appreciate them for it.

The thing I love about Metallica covers is that they somehow are ALWAYS able to make the song sound undeniably Metallica-like... and yet still keep the essence and feel of the original track with enormous respect to its author!

@gregbillings Ай бұрын

I hadn't heard the original before and checked it out on spotify - the drumming, the guitar work, enough of the original tempos and feel and then the 'tallica piece added in. With James divorce in the rearview, the lyrics seemed right at home for Pappa Hetfield.

@masonschwalm2010 Ай бұрын

Didn’t realize how well suited this song was to be adapted by them, and it’s been one of my favourites since forever. The dual harmonized guitar part in the intro definitely had the quintessential, old-school Metallica vibe à la Master of Puppets when James walked up beside Kirk to play it. They also used the source material as an excuse to do things you normally would not hear from them either, one example being the high note vocal harmonies with the “Oooh’s” towards the end. Don’t think I’ve ever heard James sing that high before in my entire life, lol! Amazing cover all around though. I think they fuckin’ killed it!🤘🏻

The same thought struck me throughout the performance. They kept it so true to the original while giving it their own flavor instead of doing a whole new interpretation of the song, which I think was completely appropriate for the occasion. I loved seeing the respect and admiration that the group had for Elton and vice versa. So cool!

Was just flipping through channels when I saw the PBS Special on , so I thought I would watch it , kind of hum drum but okay until Metallica played this and WOW!!! They woke the whole theater up ))) Awesome performance for their friend and colleague , so entertaining the way Lars plays drums , how James sings and Kirk plays on 'Greenie'. I can't stop watching it !! Great job guys.

It's nice to see the spotlight shining on real musicians and not just 'hip hop hooligans' and 'auto tune pop princesses'. Metallica's amazing performance was a testament to superb songwriting of Elton John and Bernie Taupin , as well as the flawless synchronicity of a top tier band

They nailed it so much.. they’ve won the audience through the whole cover. Harmonies, clear singing.. and mighty punch ! They prove again why they’re so good at this, and why they are Metallica !

Elton John saying “amazing!” is like you’ve fulfilled everything as a musician 😁

Their rendition is amazing. It's between glam rock and Trash metal. Elton John must be very proud. Good job from Metallica.

Seeing Elton rocking to them, saying amazing in the end, says it all

I saw Metallica in 1984 in Milan and one of my friend said perfectly "They will be the Zeppelin of our generation ". But Metallica are the Zeppelin of the 80's, the 90's, all the next and the actual generation. The greatest rock band of all times...period.

Thats awesome. It was probably 1988 when I said the same thing to friends and they laughed at me when I said Metallica is our Led Zeppelin. They also laughed at me when I said id be listening to Metallica when Im 40... Im 51 today and still the same die hard fan.

one of the best cover that metallica ever made imo

@dane7491 Ай бұрын

What 'Tallica have done here is nothing short of amazing..they have taken a classic song, paid respect & homage to it, especially in front of the writers of said song, but they have also put their DNA into it without ruining it..amazing performance..

I have been a rock fan since I was a young kid in the mid-70s, leaning into heavy rock in my formative years, and I just appreciate almost all music to date. Metallica is seriously the most amazing band ever! Early thrash Metallica fans despise the fact that they evolve and expand. I get it, but you can still get that from them as well (see them live next time you can): four guys that made it through the challenging parts of fame and being a rock band and not only do I feel they are the best rock band on the planet (any band for that matter), but they are better than they ever have been. Amazing! I hope they do another cover album and play Funeral for a Friend at Gillette Stadium in August ‘24. I can’t get enough of watching them Gel to this fantastic song and mind-blowing cover. Tribute to Elton and Bernie - YES and WOW. Metallic is FIRE!

Metallica is already legend status. When they are pumped, motivated, and turned ON, they are fucking gods. When something brings out that little extra fire they have, nobody can match them.

I didn't know the line up preformers at the start of the show and later seen James in the front row audience ,, thinking ,,, would be great to see Metallica do a cover,,,, the rest is history🤘

@kennethdale9538 Ай бұрын

There aren't enough like buttons for this... you need a more than like button. Metallica has somehow undergone a late career renaissance- they sound just as good as they used to when they recorded Puppets, and what an amazing skill of organizing non-metal songs into metal. Well done boys.

@cowsongs 17 күн бұрын

Whoa... them boys practiced! So tight, so much power. And the song suits them perfectly. I'm glad Elton likes it. I think they tried really hard to do a "Metallica" song that honors Elton's work, and they succeeded.
