- Let's talk about why Metallica doesn't matter anymore. The new record 72 seasons isn't selling well, growth has been stuck at 24 million on spotify for months now. What do you expect in a world obsessed with cardi b and Nicki Manaj? You know what though? Nothing else matters to me than to spread the good news of metal to the masses. Which is why we'll be watching a live performance of Metallica's most popular track, Nothing Else Matters muhahaha!

I played this intro in my English class back in high school . Love it.
Playing live is already very difficult, but playing in front of your idols can be even more so. I remember trying to play Tornado Of Souls in front of Kiko Loureiro, I simply forgot how to play the guitar, it was really embarrassing
Where?
LOL. did your hand go limp? Kiko used his mind to perform a system shutdown on your lil arm
@@e_xcalibur578 This happened at a workshop in Brazil, nothing too serious, but I was extremely nervous
@@LuisFelipe-uz9zv ah anyone would get nervous to play infront of their favourite guitarists
Love the fact that you're doing a video on Metallica while wearing a Megadeth Tshirt.....definetly my man 🤘
Yes, almost impossible
STILL THE ALMIGHTY METALLICA NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT!!!🤘
The first song I learned on acoustic was Nothing Else Matters. I think I watched the video on Mtv a million times back then and I would grab my guitar and play along.
Metallica can't die. No matter how bad they are now, they will still be one of the - if not THE - best metal band of all time.
They arnt bad, just getting older and its harder to keep up the fast stuff
@Tysandifer they are completely terrible. There are musicians thier age that play fast stuff and play effortlessly. They don't keep up with thier chops anymore.
They are legendary for a reason, like them or not.
They did not lost anything.. They still play in their 60s better than 99% of bands nowadays
Death magnetic , Hardwired and 72 seasons are Great albums best since justice
You take that torch Shred, Metal needs you!
I’m doing the best I can!
Your theory knowledge is outstanding bud. You deserve every success with your music theory course 🤛🤛
Man i cant wait for the concert! It will be awesome to finnally see the legends live
They put on a killer show. You'll love it.
Been watching your videos since I got my guitarra and my cousin a guitar for his birthday in July so as to help him and gotta say, you are the guitar guru, the string savant, the acoustic acolyte. Much love and appreciation from TX. Keep on killin it brotha!
They're literally setting attendance records at concerts. People go to such great lengths to hate on metallica (as metalheads) its sad. Metallica being huge is great for all metal
That’s what I’m doing, thankful you and a handful of other metal heads are sharing their musical language to help it continue
Great vid Shred. You make this come alive and make sense 30 years after hearing first time. Gratitude for unlocking a new dimension to this tune 👊🏼A major for sure. Less obvious and elegant.
Thank you my brother!
This song has always been about individualism too me as well. If you are always yourself, your mindset, will and inner strength will always be stronger than those who go along to get along in life. Having a truly strong mentality is the key to a happy life. Plain and Simple.🤘🏻💪🏻🤘🏻🤜🏻
Well said!
THANK YOU!! Its so refreshing to hear a teacher who actually knows the music theory as well. Stellar! I also recognize that you have ear training as well. Way to go!! I'm doing the exact same thing with a guitar student of mine as well as violin here in texas. Cool!! Do you like any prog metal?!?
I just saw the tumbnail and thought it was John Petrucci beefing with James Heatfield.
I understand that these negative, dramatic titles are just profitable clickbaits. That being said, for the sake of truth, let's be rational. For 2023 standards, the 72 Seasons album is selling very well. The vast majority of people, SPECIALLY METALHEADS, stopped buying music at all 15 years ago. I also understand that nostalgia is comfortable and cosy, but the 72 Seasons album is awesome.
Yeah, I feel the same. All metal albums dont and never will sell the same like they did. Comparing and competing with sales in general from 20 or 30 years ago is just wrong. Calling 72S a flop in that sense isnt right. Its doing alright regarding sales, and everyone knows the songs either way with streaming. The new material works very well live and people are responding to it. I look forward to Room of Mirrors coming at us live.
@@kylereece1979 Correct. I have over 1000 metal albums, so, nostalgia is not something that affects me. It's either good, or it's not. In my opinion, the only thing missing in 72 Seasons is that typical power ballad and/or instrumental, that always fits well in a classic Metallica album. Sanitarium, One, Fade to Black, Ktulu, Orion. If you take those away, I put 72 Seasons above Kill'Em All and specially, above And Justice For All. But it's just my honest and subjective taste. To each his own. I love Justice just as any Metallica fan, but if you remove the fourth track, it becomes very repetitive. I don't think many people listen to albums from start to finish. They just do a mash-up of their favourite songs, and it gives them the impression that "I LOVE THIS ALBUM. IT'S GREAT." And on that regard, 72 Seasons has lots of variety, from start to finish.
@@HeathenDance 72S was a serious grower. Jesus, it took about a week for it to slot in with me.😁 Today, Im still hearing things that, I missed initially. Ive a couple of faults with it overall, but I think its a damn good album. A definite Grower.👍
The lack of a ballad and no real clean tone guitars rob some riches and range within the songs. That, and I do think Kirks soloing is too repetitive. All too familiar licks lash out, when some more creative ideas could really have given things more identity, separatism.
I really liked Kirk's "Portals" EP, its got some awesome, exotic melodies and ideas. I think he should have applied more of that into 72S.
Inemorata , Room of Mirrors and Too Far Gone have brilliant bursts of harmonized leadwork that, Id loved to have more on the other songs. But- those little things outta the way, I think 72S has pleanty in there to celebrate and will reap more rewards over time. 👍
@@kylereece1979 Agreed. Also regarding Kirk's "Portals." What a great piece of music it is. I also think the first track "72 Seasons" is their best opener since "Blackened." Also have a soft spot for "Crown of Barbed Wire."
@@HeathenDance Portals really showcased a side of Kirk that, I feel isnt represented enough in Metallica. Ive seen interviews where he mentions that his leadwork these days is intentional. Phrases, licks, passages that sound like his 'signitures', or calling cards. He did a superb interview with Rick Beato lately about that.
Yet, some sweet flutters of brilliance aside, I feel he overuses all that on 72S. Wah-Wah'ing his way thru' licks that, I have heard him Reload before. It makes the album sound like one long song on initial listens.
Portals "The Maiden and the Monster" and "The Incantation" are stunning examples of what Id loved to have heard from him on 72S. "The Maiden..." is a broodiny cinematic story that evolves effortlessly into a triumphant Rock out finale with some of his tastiest soloing in ages. Its Awesome!! 🤘
It would have been fascinating having that on 72S as an instrumental, or worked into a huge vocal led track.
Kirk doesn’t know shit about “theory”. he’s mentioned it in interviews. He’s just self taught and figured out what worked. It’s great to know these things for sure, but it also strips away a little bit of the magic. I kind of regret taking a guitar theory course, because it basically just gave names and definitions to all of things that I already knew. Now I can’t unsee it and I feel that a little bit of my creativity was stripped away. Everyone’s different though, that same course probably worked wonders for other people
I went through that phase when I first learned theory. The real value of theory is having an arsenal of possible moves to make when you're playing, and especially when improvising. A general understanding of relative pitch and how to blend the tones together are where the magic really lies.
I tried learning by learning songs verbatim, felt great for years.
But the moment I learned the blues scale I was shredding haaaard against whatever random chord progression I'd throw on the loop pedal. There was a time where it felt endless, licks for days, with slight modulations and random note substitutions.
But I got too into theory and production and the lyrical side of things, no consistent guitar playing anymore or focused practice. Now I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. Which is absolutely fucking useless lmao
Kirk was taught by Joe Satriani
I have never been able to focus on theory at all. I play instrumental fingerstyle acoustic, so no other musicians involved and I never think of theory. I play mostly in open tunings and have no idea of notes of chords.
Theory is the language of music , at least every musicians should know basic music theory so you can figure out how to navigate
"There's Papa sneaking up behind Kirky baby"😂
Omg that's exactly what I've been doing ...😂😂..good break down man said a lot of good things and a lot of good things I needed to hear ...that was a blow out for me
Shred with the message, love it
Love message to the world's,
Until just now I never thought too much about the meaning of this song.
yeah-heah
As far as that modal mixture--I noticed that when there is a raised 7th like that bridging the end of a chord progression and home, if you're soloing it can be a great place to thrown in a harmonic minor scale run.
By far, my favorite band and I have no doubt they know theory, but I'm betting Bob Rock had a bit to do with this. You can pretty much hear Jason Newtsted talking about that in an interview, though he doesn't specify this song
🎶Aaaand runny shit splatters🎶
I just Shampoo and Conditioned my hair, and it smells FANTASTIC.
Good video Shred! Btw, can somebody here suggest me what band that are still young and they play the same music as Metallica/Megadeth? Thank you
Not a whole lot of young bands that are similar to those guys. Closest band I can think of is maybe Trivium
James plays solos in Master of Puppets, To Live Is To Die, The Outlaw Torn, Wasting My Hate (extended version), and Suicide and Redemption. He does a buch of lead harmonies with Kirk in songs like One snd Fight Fire With Fire. He also playes the solos in a bunch of their cover songs like Whiskey in the Jar (Thin Lizzy) and Overkill (Mötorhead) for example. I don’t see a new Metallica. It sucks. I depend on all the old bands still. New metal music is not very good, in my opinion.
They have had their Day. So to
Speak. 🙂
Has Metallica tuned back up to E natural in their live shows for their pre-Load & post St Anger stuff or are my ears just getting old & Eb sounds like E natural to me? Check out Wherever I May Roam they just dropped on their channel & LMK please as I’ve never had perfect pitch but could always tell when it was “flat” until now.
"Enter Sandman" is still Metallica's most famous song
On Spotify, it currently has, at 10:03 p.m. EST, 1,233,406,390 listens
Meanwhile, "Nothing Else Matters" has 1,042,796,095 listens
On UA-cam the metrics are different. NEM is more popular the ES
Pop music is pop music
I just seen them in Detroit on the m72 tour and there is no other band that can compare live and on the mile long stage they had F.F.D.P. was struggling and they have many miles on their resume. Regardless of wether they ever make another descent album again you can never take masters and justice away from them...although a couple of the songs they played from the new album live was hitting.
One thing is for certain, no matter what Metallica do they’ll never be as bad as Five Finger Death Punch. Metallica’s worst song is better than FFDP best.
They need to go back to 1983.
Yoooo!
Peavey love!
Love it
I personally don’t really like the new album but I will say, I saw them live and they played some of 72 seasons. The songs are actually pretty good and quite fun live
the new album is awesome imo. only kirks solos are not as good as on the older albums.
'tallica?
The first 3, ok 4, albums were relevant! Then it was other bands taking over, carrying the torch. Sad but true!
But hey, for a genre-defining band, that is an amazing accomplishment!
In 1991 they did indeed have 3 major hits, but that was radio-pop-rock from a different band, really.
man, he's really fallen in love with that Les Paul.
Metallica rocks,always will.and there is no such thing as bad advertisement..as long as people hear the name metallica,the advertising is doing its job,.you've done a great service fir the band metallica,and megadeth,and Mr.Dave Mustaine!. You take a moral man...put him in control..watch him become a god ,watch people's heads a' roll....me driving to school in 10th grade cranking megadeth in the car getting crazy looks from a bunch of wanna be gangster kids that listen to rap noise...lol.circa 1993..or so.
Alright lars we got a nice slow song, don't play so hard this time.
Lars: FUCKING ROGER I GOTCHU I DEFINITELY WONT BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF ALL OF MY DRUMS WHILE YOURE BASICALLY WHISPERSINGING
nothing else matters was a personal poem james wrote when on tour....he missed his wife and it was never meant to be produced as a song...lars found it and pushed him to make it a song and he resisted...he even pulled tears when first singing it because it was actually a personalo poem he didnt want people to know...so know shred...its not a motivation song...its not a take it and keep pushing song...and your not always right
Could it be an A2?
They haven’t mattered since 1989. Except for Death Magnetic. That was great. Then after that dropped off the radar again.
I like how you didn't even try to hide that you're Megadeth fanboy here :D
Im pretty sure James has more solos first that comes to my mind is interlude solo in master of puppets and suicide redemptions first solo and I think he has some solos on load and reload also Im not including harmonies
We need some new metal bands to carry on their roles
Luckily there are hundreds of other metal bands releasing awesome music daily
@@Oogidahboogidahit’s all mainstream and modern metal. You rarely find old-school stuff like Metallica anymore unfortunately
@@IanTheAlternative the non-mainstream stuff coming out is insanely good but you gotta find it. Avenged sevenfolds latest album was a masterpiece. Xoth and ….and Oceans both just released awesome albums in the last couple of weeks. Mastodon and meshuggah are still releasing awesome shit. It may not be “old school like Metallica” but it is very very good, heavy, well written, chunky riffs, awesome solos. What more can we ask for? I love old school Metallica as well, but so much good metal music is still released every week I just think the comment that “we need some new bands to carry on from Metallica” is a crazy thing to say.
Agreed!
@@IanTheAlternative its not the bands, its your mind and your age dude. or you just look in the wrong places. if you are not satisfied, why dont you start a trash metal band? of course there is no other metallica. not even metallica sounds the same as in the 80s...
The AI retools of 72 Seasons that make it sounds like And Justice For All instantly make it sound better. The new album was just meh in a time that you need to grab ppl by the shoulders and shake them in order to get a reaction
There is a Ride the Lightning rendition of Chasing Light that, is incredible! The uploader rerworked the song with the tones of the album, shredding the riffs as it might have sounded at the time. But the AI Hetfield 84 vocals are so real, it sounds like the track is a recently unearthed gem from the Lightning sessions themselves. Unreal. Absolute check it out!!
Funny if LOVEBITES or Hanabie get more votes for metal album of the year.... Which by the way both of those bands put out some of their best work this year ...
I was 15 in 1990 when I heard the black album I said what happened to Metallica? Then I cried
The black album didn't come out until 1991.
Cool story bro, edgy 12yo couldn't endure metallica's musical switch, trash for life 😂
Look, the only question I have about keys is: How do you know exactly what notes are apart of the key you're playing?
By using your ears 👂 and the circle of 5ths
You're voice sounds like the 80s TV character Alf
Holy Shit!
How about Panic Attack by Judas Priest?
Nothing else matters no more
If depressed about Metallica's Spotify and UA-cam counts can always check out AC/DC who have more.
Lars is a jerk but go listen to Jim Breuer's story about hanging out with Lars in LA .. It was a Howard Stern interview and It's hilarious .. It almost makes you like Lars.
Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets...nothing else matters.
Just like Slayer (especially Tom Araya), I guess old age took a toll on Metallica.
Speaking of Slayer, Kerry King still plays guitar but Tom Araya is getting really old and he had a neck surgery more than a decade ago.
So old age really took a toll.
James has a solo in master of puppets
+In Orion, To live is to die, And I believe all nightmare long? Correct me on that if not
I’ve just searched it, sry I was wrong
He does the one in Whiskey In The Jar.
@@IllegalsInMyYard1 All of their instrumentals Ktulu onward, the 2nd half of Ride the Lightning he duos with Kirk as well. And yes Whiskey in the Jar.
it’s the A power chord not the major 🤘🏼😈
Shred you don’t matter
My say is Led Zeppelin will be around till the end of time, Metallica will also be there but nobody will ever be better. Same goes for Stones, Only the a couple good ones vs. too many bad ones
Where Zeppelin again.... Well enough said.
Ok
Who the hell is Jethro tull?.
It's not so much that metal is dying everything is. All forms of music have declined so much over the last 20-30 years to where on average everything just sucks now
The classic stuff is best new stuff not bad but not that great. A bit off feel between metal and pop rock type stuff. Still better than Load.
Nothing else matters
7:58 I guess they want to mix it up, playing the same way over and over they must get so bored!!
master was their swan song. bro - i feel like your tie needs straightened out..?
Nothing matters anymore! 😂
you mean you don't matter anymore. Metallica will forever matter, even when you have passed away and everyone forgets you. Metallica will still be valid
They don't matter at least since the mid 90's.
Everybody and their grandparents knows Nothing Else Matters. Even some Cardi B and Nicki Minaj junkies know that song. Metal in general doesn't matter. It never really did except to the posers and the real metalheads. The music industry has totally changed. There are only a handful of metal bands and even hip hop artists that are relevant anymore.
Low on picks? Go to a Malmsten concert😂😂 still laughing about that one
Metallica maters to the good people of society
Well nothing else matters anyway
The only that ruins this performance is Lars' unnecessary fills.
Basically they’ve moved into their Legacy Band era. All their good, relevant, meaningful music is in their past and they are just doing a continuous nostalgia tour now. They cant write anything interesting now and they’re stuck with Lars. Lars just plain sucks and anything “new” they might write is entirely redundant. Plus Lars. And Kirk is redundant as well. Same stuff over and over. The Black Album was their last. It’s been steadily downhill since. Load was ok. Then just suck suck and suck. Plus Lars. F Lars. Lars is the definition of Weak Link. Lars is far more than just a douche. He’s the anchor around the band’s neck. There is legion of grade-school youtuber drummers that embarrass Lars. Be honest about that. Metallica is now on their never ending Play The Hits tour because redundant and F Lars. And that’s ok. They have that legendary 5-album catalog and, except for F Lars, we’re fine hearing nothing but that.
This is the truth. I find myself trying hard to enjoy their newer albums. With their classic run of albums I never had an issue, instant audiogasms
They're literally on a world tour 💀 the world isn't NEARLY as obsessed with Cardi and Nicki as it was 5 years ago either. Shits getting boring and repetitive. Shit you've got country music topping the charts in 2023.
The part Kirk played at the very end sounded like a mosquito gangbang. Not his best tone.
Then based on your theory my subscription to multiple conspiracy theories is probably legit. I just thank God I’m not Mormon.
Wow, it took you ten years to come to this conclusion??!?
😂😂😂😂😂
Kirkybaby? 😆
Everyone Else Matters these days I guess.
I haven’t watched the video but I’m just gonna say it:
Metallica sucks. They have in my opinion since the Justice Album. I’m a pure snob…I like the Cliff era and not much else. They were so fast, heavy and hungry back in the day. Then I think they got the spotlight and got lazy.
When I compare Lars to other drummers, it’s insane to see how pathetic he is. His meter is terrible, and he rarely plays some of the cool fills he’s made over the years (for example the intro in Creeping Death).
Kirk is absolutely embarrassing. Like many here I play guitar. I was influenced by him very early on. As my technique has improved and I’ve been influenced by other players (Vai, Yngwie, George Lynch, Randy, Jake E Lee etc), it’s amazing to me how little Kirk has grown as a player. Like yeah he’s got some really cool licks and solos here and there but all in all there’s just nothing special about his playing as of the last 35 years.
Now some people might be like “WeLl ThEyRe RiChEr ThAn YoU”. Idc. Yes it’s a thing - sometimes people suck really bad at something and still make money. Success doesn’t mean you’re good at something. I’ll always love those first 3 Albums…they’re the peak of awesomeness. But after that to me the band just took the foot off the pedal
Metallica died many, many years ago.
I don't pay attention to Metallica cause i got tired of them and since i completed my 6 Metallica disks that i wanted to have i stopped listening them i heard their latest new stuff hard wired and 72 seasons but i still prefer to listen to something else
To me, Metallica died after the Black album.
you love metal, yet your the biggest hater ever.. going to start calling Mgk.. maybe you should switch to hip hop... bhahahahahhaa
Get bent.
*Metallica NEVER mattered.* Metallaca is tweener boys (10-12) starter pack metal.
Nothing Else Matters. . .what a crap song
No, it isn’t.
Metallica doesn’t have any good songs besides the first 3 albums. Slayer has a way better discography literally every song is good.
My favorite solos are the ones off rtl and mega Dave wrote them.
I like all the albums but if i was you, i'll say at least the first 4 cause justice is maybe not very well mixed but cmon the musicianship is great.
Eh, a lot of Slayer albums start to blend together. South of Heaven was really the only album where you might listen to all the songs outside of an album listen. God Hates Us All is one of my favorite albums and I'm not blasting Payback unless I'm listening all the way through.
Slayer's last good album was Seasons in the abyss. Actually most of the great bands from the 80s ran out of ideas around 92. The ones who weren't as good back then like Kreator, Sodom, Exodus or Testament got better and better as the years went by.
@@toro5280 nah buddy divine intervention, dim, ghus, Christ illusion and the other albums are kick ass. Metallica literally stopped at ride the lightning
metallica hasnt been good since they ran out of dave and cliffs material. which was.. and justice for all? from then on out its been dog shit central. enter sandman was pretty cool, and they had some pretty decent songs on the black album.. but it wasnt metallica. sounded like an album that was written by an engineer with metallica on the instruments. and then with load and reload.. we basically got the style of music james would have written had he not been influenced by dave and cliff. whenever james writes riffs, they just sound like motorhead. its more rock than thrash metal.
Hahahahahshshah based, Metallica is gay
it's been 30 years already bro, grow up!
Get over it, dude. Jeez. Go blow Dave. You're not telling us anything we haven't heard before, so stop trying to be Johnny hard core Metal cool and move the f on..
I loved Metallica.. they are dead along time ago.. Now they are a pop sell out band.. 😢 And boring
Metallica is the best live band in the world today
