Seriously, no metal band gives as much as these boys. Grateful for them and all they're doing for us.

I would pay a lot for a DVD of the show Im going to

​@@JasonDrums24 In Mexico these two concerts will be shown in theaters in August

Trivium does this as well

Metallica has been selling each and every tour show they go as another source of revenue for years. I have both PR dates on CD directly from them and if they added a live dvd version for sure would buy those too

One really interesting thing is he’s not down picking this whole song, you can see him alternating lots which is a lot slower. Maybe that’s to help him get more comfy with it or it’s a bit of a break for his hands.

​@@flataffect not every song needs downpicking bro

@@nikbinaz never said it needed anything. Wasn’t saying it in a negative way. James, like any and every other musician, must do what they can to conserve their bodies/energy when on stage while giving an optimal performance and that’s what he’s doing.

@@flataffect neither was I trying to come off rude brother, just added my two cents. you are right

Especially wearing a leather button up shirt! Holy crap, he must be roasting!

They never sounded better, one of the only bands that I’d rather listen to live than on CD or album.

Metallica can afford to spare no expense, they will provide a great evening of the metal

Of course, wiith a full step down tune

​@@user-rw7ov1yh7di think its a half step down, not full

@@user-rw7ov1yh7d so what, its sounds amawing so who cares

His singing is so insanely confident too. Sounds amazing

He's in love, it does help....lol

James doesn't sound like 30, he lost his aggression in voice

​@user-rw7ov1yh7d he blew it out on the black album and had to recover, but listen to Load and Reload and you can tell his vocal instructor really helped train him on how to better use his voice. He's a better singer now and can tour consistently, but yes some of the rasp is gone. He can still do it clearly, listen to Death Magnetic, but it isn't sustainable to tour and blow your voice out back to back nights

that’s been happening for awhile now 🤣

@@destroyerofkooda123you sure?

@@flataffect i mean not 20 years ago awhile, but i little bit. which it totally fine. James will alternate, skip notes, start late with the downpicking etc etc.

Kirk does all the downpicking hardwork behind the scenes now!

Kirk does a lot of the heavy lifting. The shit Kirk gets from people is pathetic!

at almost 60!

he is on diet. no more crappy food more energy.

@@bryanmack7463 phoning in for almost 30 years is no longer phoning in, it is just Lars being Lars. He got that annoying type of charisma but it is still charisma, not many people have charisma at all. world is full of NPCs

​@@dekapitatorr I love that very accurate description of Lars 😂👏

You say it’s annoying I say he’s the reason I drum.

They sure do! And with this new energy the band have, James being sober, they are just nailing them show after show!

Rob's finger gallop is some serious sweet grumble and mixes well with James and Lars.

Lucky bastard

What's wrong with the crowd there? Was it like this all over the stadium or just the front rows?

​@@thezaherwdym?

@@Jan__ they just seem dead. I've been to classical concerts with more enthusiastic crowds. (hyperbolically speaking) Or are the Dutch more like the Germans when it comes to concerts?

Someone who was 2 years old last time I saw Metallica has now seen them before I’ve got another chance to see them. Great. 😂😂 But on a serious note, that’s cool. 🤘🏼

Damn straight they did it they all were having a ball I hope to God they upload Orion next killer tune

In my opinion, 72 Seasons is their best album since The Black Album.

James Hetfield has to be in the conversation of Riff King. Most know what Tony iommi can come up with but look at what Hetfield is still doing..

@@LoudFlimzz true

no one questioned it,...i stopped question metallica long time ago

Bit too much haha, we heard him drumming and then 0.2seconds later via the speakers.

Hell yeah - Lars is kicking ass! 🤘

​@@Crepitom that's nothing to do with lars that delay on the speakers

@@jord9261 correct

​@@jord9261 the guy meant that Lars played so hard you heard it before the speakers played it. It was a compliment.

absolutely. 'new school' metal drummers keep getting faster and tighter but they forget to hit hard..

Lars always plays with energy :)

Yes exactly, he has always been playing more from his body & his passioned mind than from a technique of his hands...

That's what I like on him so much and what is the nature of his legend - rather to live songs throughout than "just" play them.

There’s a Lotta great bands out there but I agree Top 5 definitely and that’s after 40 years so yes

I wouldn't have said this 10 years ago, but, I've been following them more and more closely since 2019, and have been quite astonished by the latest performance they made during their current tour. Today, they are definitively at the top, even above Iron Maiden (which was something impossible for me to even consider like 5 years ago from now)

​@@MoreAwsomeMetalinclined to agree. Maiden are my first love with Metallica a close second. However, in the live setting with the exception of Bruce the rest of the band are slowing down even janick

@@michaeldean7220 Yes it's kind of sad. I saw them this summer for the 1rst time since 2017, and they have really aged in such few years. I could feel a drop in the energy. Dickinson still holds the most power, McBrain and Harris are still holding the pace, but Gers, Smith and Murray are just like they're not going to make it to the end of the show... Their latest album was also a huge deception, one of the less inspired I've heard from them. They have played such astonishing shows between their 2000 reunion and before the Covid, even seeing Metallica during the 2003/2010 era seemed a step under Maiden for me... Until I saw Metallica in 2019 on the day following my brother's wedding, where I suddenly realized how I underestimated these guys. And after the Covid, this year on the 72 Season Tour, seeing them for 2 days in a row, I was mind blown. I suddenly realized they always were the #1 metal band of all time Above Maiden Above Motorhead Above Black Sabbath They are the embodiment of the Spirit of Metal, and still a humble band that makes loads of mistakes on stage, and that aren't the most talentuous artists that ever were (in comparison of other musicians in the metal universe) And still, they are the number 1 band of all time...

Biggest band int he world with Kirk wearing that clown clothes?

You could say Lars’ AJFA white kit represented the white album cover as well.

@@evriph I thought that was a grey kit?

@@0Fdigital No, it's white, though in a few pictures, it might look light greyish

First thing I noticed

@@evriph Justice kit was a greyish color black album was white I believe.

I only liked Lars's drums, I didn't like James's guitar so much to wait if they release more models or to see what Kirk brings out

Stryper yellow and black attack 1985 Christian metal band. 😅

I love James guitar and Lars drums, it looks badass in my opinion and the album is fantastic and badass!

even the microphones have yellow inserts instead of the usual red ones

Lara: white to purple to yellow

yes and so it james's 72 seasons vulture!

Just what I tought. One of the best looking drumkits I've ever seen

Sounds killer and Lars playing shot out of the thing🤘

There is just so much more energy. im actually excited to see these songs now

​@@zepeabutftw In fact, a lot of songs from this album. Check "If Darkness had a Son", a lot people got surprised by the live performance and the album version they kind disliked. Seems that the studio over polished the songs for this album, that's what I think that Hardwired to Self Destructed did better

Is it in Eb live?

No

@@Belfalas991 wtf are you talking about, the album is perfect

Je was geweldig, Floor! Zo trots!!

Funny 😂😂

@@kasperrieberg3495nah he’s right 😊

Drugs

nice to see but not to hear

​@@dekapitatorryou can hear bass very good, and you can hear his vocals in chorus well

@@enjoyeverything8395 we heard only bass :(

They've literally had an audible bass since TBA.

@@dekapitatorr I disagree, I think this is some of Rob's best backing vocals right here... Edit: Okay I may have said it right before his last part 😅

Hoping for much of the same when I see them at both concerts next weekend in Hamburg🤘

🤘👍🤘

Kept playing tho. Talent

​@@itsfrancoisb ainda bem que dá pra tocar com os dedos 😂😂

Tbm não estava tão empolgado com os singles, mas ouvindo o álbum inteiro, eles se encaixam perfeitamente

@@nelsonferreiradesouzafilho2316 Had to use Google translate. But yes, I completely agree. The album is sequenced perfectly and increases the impact of each song when listened as a whole. Eu concordo completamente. O álbum é perfeitamente sequenciado e aumenta o impacto de cada música quando ouvida como um todo.

The classic vibe of the riffs are killer

Yeah it's weird seeing him doing that when he's known for down picking

haha noticed that straight away... Kirk is making up for it :).

Kirk was downpicking the fuck out of that riff lol

He is probably alternating it because of the vocals, he has to do that too Kirk doesn't and vocally that part sounds tricky even for him when you are playing guitar at the same time cause it's a very different melody or at least that's my guess im not an expert just like music

@@TheBlueflameX I do not think it is that, singing along is not problematic here, since rhythm is constant, and matches vocal accents (just try with your hand, words "life", "fight") - I mean, he sings along anything easily, never heard him go off rhythm - he just wants to rest his hand whenever possible. He also simplifies some other down-picking riffs (e.g. mop verse).

Isn't it though, Its like it's gone through a complete rest and is back bigger than ever

thanks

He's been in the band for 20 years... He can do it better than that

So much so that half the people commenting think they're fake 🤦‍♂

Never a truer word said my friend 🙌😁

@@neilfinlayson4017 thxs mate long live lars

I would say he is definitely one of the drummers of all time

@@luisgustavo6117 wow, stop being so original!

Dude I think he is the greatest. Completely agree with you. He’s the reason I picked a drum stick up.

i dont know how you think this is tight. this is one the sloppiest performances they've done in recent years

@@Celatra First night had a few troubles, sound was not good and Kirk’s sound was way too low. Also delay when you could here Lars drumming (physically). But that meant I was at the front and had a blast!!

​@@Celatraand one of the bests performances too. This mix sound and their energy is top. This is GREAT. Reminds of their 80's performances.

@@alexdelcampo3606 you're delusional

@@Celatra lol

Same! I would love to see them come back to Australia!

They announced they will after the 72 Seasons tour which is exciting

@@Bald__Man wrong, its a world tour thus the tour would stil be the same tour with new dates

@@MungasaurusBravo69420 true sorry cheers for correcting. Still very exciting

Não sei se vc já foi em algum show da banda, mas ao vivo é uma energia incrível.

During 'If Darkness Had A Son' everyone went nuts. That sawing riff... The screaming 'Temptation'... It had a AJFA-nostalgia in it, but also completely different... Don't know how to explain it, but I've seen them about 15 times, but these 2 concerts were the best I've seen of them in more than 20 years.

Maybe he prefers a less-tight, groovier sound for that riff. Or maybe he just doesn't have the same stamina anymore :)

He's 60

it's been years since he downpicked all the time, Kirk is doing most of the downpicking

He does cheat on occasion. But we all do when we play their stuff. Even on MoP.

​@@JonaxFerreira No problem though, the difference doesn't seem to be audible in a live setting, at least for me. The guys still kick ass.

About time
