Lars has been triggering drums since the Black Album, it's nothing new but that's him playing.
Problem with Kirk's playing these days isn't " he lost it " it's that he doesn't compose solos anymore he just goes in the studio and " Jams " , 80s Kirk would take home the song and compose to it.
I wish he would go back to that.
Exactly. Bob Rock was the last person who actually pushed Kirk to play a good written solo, that's why plenty of his solos out of the records made with Rock as a producer (Black album, Load, Reload) are actually pretty good, despite the Wah pedal addiction.
@andysalter7192
Wrong, dumbass!
Kirk NEVER compared his solos.
He just copied Dave Mustaine's on Kill 'em All and then JAMES wrote all his solos note for note all the way up until load. James AND Lars have said many times throughout the 80s and most the 90s they wrote ALL the music and then told the band what to play and how to play it. The closest Kirk came to "composing" a solo was when Bob Rock gave him his whole Shpill about Guitar player of the year in the making of the black album and then the solo he immediately plays is what is heard on the album's unforgiven!
Jason even talked about this in an interview. Kirk said the unforgiven solo was one he had been trying to pull off for years.
The drums are 100% programmed. How you people don't hear that is mind boggling lol.
his comment wasn’t mean that was a terrible solo lol
@@H.P._Lovecrafts_Cat no one cares
I will say, this song is kinda what I needed now. The past year hasn't been that good for me, and hearing a new Metallica song cheered me up a good bit.
Same bro
Yesss it was a happy sounding song too, well played Metallica :,)
Same here
I think papa Het knows alot or people have been down lately. The tone and throwback style, along with this being a suprise out of no where. It makes this release seem like a great big birthday present nobody knew they were getting.
I'm with ya bud
Hopefully your past year hasn't been as bad as my past 2 years. My ex-wife abducted my children, attempted to steal my money out of my bank account, falsely accused me of abusing my children under the age of 8, filed a bogus restraining order and launched multiple criminal investigations right when I was starting a new job with a Big Tech company. It took 2 years to fight for 50% custody and $600K debt. The Courts do NOTHING to help fathers. Now that this battle is over, I won't save any money for the next 5 years while watching my kids suffer because they don't know why my family is split apart. My friends abandoned me because of the rumor my ex spread (defamation). And while other people can share their suffering (cancer, paralysis, death, etc.), I have to keep my mouth shut because there's ongoing legal action.
Lars got way better . They’ve been in album mode for a while and actually have reasons to get better at their instruments
What about kirk then lol
@@charlesmartiniii1405 Kirk was amazing too
@@euancamz3740 bro listen to that solo again and tell me that. The first lick is a simple alternate picking line that is butchered to all h*ll. It's all so sloppy which is honestly crazy considering he's using the same solo ideas from the 80's
@@charlesmartiniii1405 better than most of Hardwired. I'd actually say that it is better than every solo on disc 2 of Hardwired excluding Spit Out The Bone. Disc 1 has some better solos.
@@d3athperception828 I disagree, it sounds just as bad as that era.
People find any excuse to hate on lars. He killed it in this song
funny that they look for excuses when the reasons are right there lmao
Bro people act like he flubs every track lmfao he's solid for the style he does, which Is COMPLIMENT the guitars
its amazing what quantizing can do
it can even fix lars
@@applesaus395 if you got it, flaunt it
@@DisRespectoids brann dailor and Mario from Gojira have said Lars is in there top drummers so he must be doing something right hey, but I guess you know more than 2 of the best metal drummers there are today
Hit the lights... Light = Lux this song is a Tribute to their early days.
i think the whole album is a tribute to their career
@@badkarma2428 hopefully
@@badkarma2428 i think it'll have its own theme. It's probably talking about James' childhood. Considering 72 seasons is 18 years.
"Full speed or nothing"
@@metamon2704 Motorbreath reference...Kill 'em All
I think it's great, the theme of the album is first 18 years of life and this song is about discovering heavy metal and how life changing it is so the nods to NWOBHM are awesome
Huh! That's some good context. Yeah I saw the album was called "72 Seasons" and was wondering why specifically 18 years haha. This makes more sense why they'd dip hard into Hit the Lights
@@BecomeTheKnight Absolutely! Its a very similar theme to Hit the Lights, that unity with music.
I think the title means 'Eternal Light' so I believe the song suggests music is always the light that helps you through the darkness.
@@deletedhero5579 that is what it means.
Boy, you're in deluded zealot world.... They should've ended in '86... I'll take the padded, meandering AJFA, or even The Bland Album at this point.
@@LeoHoxtonI good for you
Death Magnetic continues to be under appreciated. DM rips, I’ve always loved that album.
Yes!
Just wish the production was better on that album other then that it's a solid ripper.
@@superunknown2812 yeah, if it had the production of hardwired it would be near perfect. But it kind of follows the blueprint even more as it is with Ride,Master and Justice. All 3 have a raw type of production that fits somehow and Death magnetic is just blown out and gets really tough during some parts, but it fits in there with the best still.
exactly its a masterpiece imo
It's a great album
4:11 I’m not exactly sure if this knowledge you have comes from more recent performances, but have you heard some of their recent live shows? Lars REALLY tightened up! I personally believe he spent most of 2020 actually practicing his instrument. That said, you still have some good points on this in general. Certain parts of it feel too good.
He had to keep up with his sons 😁
If he pulls this song off live at 60 years old that will actually be really impressive
@@ShadowKiller571 can't wait for that day
@@ShadowKiller571 I mean as far as double bass drumming goes that’s not a hard pattern, I understand why he can’t do dyers eve, but this song is not THAT fast
Guys.. Danny Carey is 60 and nails every performance. No excuses.
As the song is called "Eternal Light" I see no problem with it sounding like Hit The Lights
You are too easily impressed then 😂 honestly this is a rehash of nostalgia and nothing fresh or new. Thanks for giving Metallica yet another pass
@@maximumguitarage When did I say I was impressed?
I am only pointing out the possibility of it being a clear reference to that song. Didn't say anything about liking it or not
@@marmota7615 no problem sounding like Hit The Lights, sounds like a pass and you are ok with it. No problem that's your opinion.
Yeah, it’s definitely got those early days vibes. Some people just like being condescending for no good reason lol
@@maximumguitarage you are the hardest hater i've encountered lmao, i've yet to see your death metal band's credentials, what with your EP that ou toured with. I'd love to hear your music.
Nobody hates the Black album. They either love it openly, or love it privately. The Loads are a different story.

Is that what you guys have to tell yourself? How pathetic that you can't even criticize their worst garbage, you must be a Saint anger fan too.
I love BA and Re/Load more than kill em all and probably ride the lightning
As a Kill em All enjoyer, this new song made me very happy.
As an EmperorTigerstar enjoyer, this comment made me happy
Imo This song is trying to be Kill ‘Em All but it can’t compare, not as well composed as kill ‘em all
As a sexy Asian girl enjoyer, the massage parlor made me happy! 😉
omg youre the map guy, i do also quite enjoy kill em all, and this made me happy
@@MrParkerman6 😳😳😳
I loved the song when it first dropped, I really liked the thrashy/Kill 'Em All-esque vibe to it and I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more about the new album
Spot on with the Hit the Lights vibe. It's the first thing that came to my mind. Here is the funny thing...Lux Aeterna is Latin for Eternal Light. Coincidence?? I think they gave us a Hit the Lights remix without really saying it.
Nonsense.
@@alexandrucalin4420 ignorant
Hit the lights is definitely better than this though I’d say
And you are ok with a rehash ?
Through you shout Mustaine and this is pure frustration.
"An old man Hit The Lights" was hilarious and spot on 😂
I honestly think some of the sloppiness of the guitar solo is sorta what made a lot of the Kill Em All solos so memorable. Many of Kirks performances on Kill Em All are sloppy, not focused, and sort of random, shreddy solos and that’s why i actually enjoyed this solo quite a bit. It felt like the goal of writing the “perfect solo” wasn’t in anyones head, and it was just kirk plugging in and playing as fast as his hands could move. I really enjoyed it, and found it fitting for the tune.
well most of the solo's on Kill 'Em All were Dave Mustaine's. Kirk just had to learn them and re-record them, minus like one or 2 songs
Yeah I think it was intended to be a quick hard fast road rash injection of a solo, in and out. More about attitude and vibe than about technical virtuosity. We know he is capable of both.
@@goodini026 Mustaine has said himself that Kirk plays the solos not exactly how Mustaine wrote them, so the solos in Kill Em All have a hint of kirks playing in them tho written by Mustiane
@@goodini026 Dave's original solos and licks for KEA (which you can hear in the No Life Til Leather tapes) were completely different from Kirk's
@dirtyglasses1665 Dave also said Kirk played them that way because he couldn't play them the way it was written lol
I’m so happy you reacted to it!!
😨💙🖤💙
After listening to Kirk's recent solo release I had decent hopes for the next Metallica album. But after listening to his solo, I am a bit disappointed because it sounds like he came up with it on the spot unlike the Fade to black solo where he had to sit down and work on it. I think there are some good ideas in it, especially the tap section (phrasing-wise) but it seems like Kirk has not been putting much effort into Metallica solos post-DM (The day that never comes, Unforgiven III)/ Load.
relax bro its one song they aren’t gonna give u a disposable heroes type solo bro.. we just gotta wait till april😵💫😵💫
@@bhrriss Agreed, it's most likely that they released the most accessible thing first
@@bhrriss That's what I thought when I heard Hardwire for the first time but Kirk's solos in that album were pretty sub-par. There were moments (Halo on fire, Split out the bone) but overall the composition was mediocre. I say this because I know Kirk can do better (Unforgiven, Fade to Black, Ride the lightning, etc for example).
He’s a lazy untalented musician who has no right to be the lead guitarist of the greatest metal band in the world
Wtf… I can’t believe that people would actually complain about about having a new Metallica song. …. “Kirk’s solo!! Oh, I’m disappointed!” What a bunch of crybabies.
i cant seem to get over the timbre of the kick drum. sounds like someone is slapping a ham over and over again but that might just be me being a douche. in totality the drums absolutely sound better than they previously have. and honestly if the album ends up being a modern interpretation of the feel we get from kill ‘em all, i’m here for it. not super stoked about this song but i think it’s a step in the right direction. good work as always mike🤘
To me, the kick sounds like a Nolly Getgood Periphery Special, though boosted in the high-mids somewhat. I really like how the kick sounds, but I absolutely hear what you mean. You’re not being an ass, it’s just preference.
I enjoyed it. It’s a simple tune that gets your head moving.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OK NOW LET ME WATCH THE VIDEO.
I am more excited than you about the song for sure, but I came hear to hear your reaction and that's exactly what I got.
You're not the only one to have that reaction to Kirk's solo, but that may have lowered my expectation unnecessarily because the first time I heard it, I really enjoyed it.
Hardwired... to Self-Destruct is their career low, as far as I'm concerned, even despite "Spit Out the Bone."
I think Kill 'em All is one of their worst.
This is *very* Kill 'em All, and yet I'm falling more in love with it each time I listen to it.
Ah, yes. Metallica. My favorite underground band. I'm glad they are finally starting to get some attention. I hope they break into the mainstream soon.
I understand this is a joke, but there’s so many kids like this that got the music from stranger things and have no idea the history of the band
@@t7mf honestly, they’re more of a “oh yea they exist” band unfortunately. They’re my favorite but everyone knows they’re popular days are over but that’s not fair
@@StayMadLmfao Huh? Lux Aeterna got like 5 mil views in 2 days. Theyre definitely still popular although they aren’t as they once were
@@t7mf exactly. Those 5 mil are people that already know who Metallica are. A lot of them are just haters going to see how much older they’re sounding. A lot of the responses I’ve seen from this track is negative and i personally love it but they’re just not the talk anymore.
I think they chose a short punchy song to tease us in to the new album like they did last time.
It may also have been written in conjunction of the nostalgia trip of the Jon and Marsha Zazula tributes and the trip down memory lane for them and where they started. Its very Hit the lights
It is short and punchy cuz Lux Aeterna( light Eternal) is a short prayer.
Love or hate kirk, he has what all guitarists strive for, a signature sound. We all know its him when you hear him. And its sloppy, odd, and lacking technique, but its also quite bombastic and unique.
It's like he's really good at playing the guitar bad.
I think you might be biased since you know it's Kirk Hammett playing. If you heard a beginner guitar player ripping a solo like this, you would tell him to go back and practice until he gets it right.
I miss his mid-late 80's playing, it is the complete opposite of this lmao.
His signature sound was actually pretty cool at one point. When it wasn't sloppy, had great melodic choices, and a bit of flair to it.
He's sounded like he's given up for at least 4 albums now. Arguably 6. I don't understand how people like the stuff he's been putting out since DM, it's all just bad.
Definitely makes me want to hear some more from this album and see what it has to offer.
Dude you are spitting 100% facts.. I really like your analysis.. i am no musician but i felt exactly the same. Been really big Metallica fan since 2007.
from a casual music nerd stand point, i think the riff is killer and has me really hyped for the album.
i mean i listen to mostly thrash and most songs are like this, in a way lol
Loved your analysis. Was curious to hear what you thought.
This song gives me major Fuel vibes!
I'm here for it all the way man!
I'd like to play devil's advocate on Kirk. Having listened to and thoroughly enjoyed Kirk's solo project he released, it would not surprise me in the slightest is Kirk is just creatively spent on thrash Solos.
He seems to be wanting to express himself more but in Metallica it's a very tight ship and James and Lars control pretty much everything. I remember watching the BTS videos for hardwired and it was incredibly telling that whenever Kirk records a Solo it's LARS of all people that's sat there given him notes and directions on what he should play for the solos.
As a guitarist, if a mediocre drummer was telling what I should be playing, I'd probably half ass a solo too.
I agree, I like the work he did on his own,but this is just... come on. He can do way better
Personally I think this is a very well crafted tribute to their old "mentors", like Judas Priest and Motorhead: it's easy to detect some similarities with songs like "Ace of spades" and "Rapid fire", but they were able to elaborate these former ingredients and mix them with their own style.. In addition to this I would like to underline the high quality of both mixing and production, the sound is astounding..
I kinda appreciate this track, it was really fun to listen to.
It's the first time in YEARS I listen to Metallica and it doesn't feel like a tryhard metal song where they didn't know where else to take it
like you were saying about it being a modern version of Hit The Lights, the title of the song translated into english is actually Eternal Light!
definitely a love letter to NWOBHM...Priest drums with Diamondhead guitars/vocals over the top
I love this song. Heard it only about 30 times. I said it before it’s Motörhead/ Diamondhead and kill em all in one.
They just released a live version of this done on MTV. Lars is playing this shit for real son 👍🏽🤘😎
I will always maintain that Kirk phones it in because on Some Kind of Monster, Kirk said that he wanted to push his leads into another direction, and they pretty much cut him off the record. I get why he just does what makes them happy instead of himself.
How can he fucking phone it in if he lost his phone with his riffs at the airport in 2004?
@@MrParkerman6 2014 wasn’t it? He didn’t bring anything to the table for Hardwired in album terms
@caelmcleish1212
Yes! It WAS 2014.
AUTOCORRECTER is a hell uv a drug!
It's the whole point for the song to have hit the lights with nwobhm vibes, the solo is perfect in that way. Awesome throwback.
The solo is NOT perfect that way, dumbass.
It is literally just the Judas Kiss solo sped up and half assed!
100% agree with you on this whole breakdown, I think its the first time our opinions are completely level but that also why I love this channel, you always have a great perspective and are well informed, touché my friend.
Drums are definitely enhanced by samples (kick probably replaced outright) and maybe quantised to a degree, but I can still see Lars pulling this off if he’s been practising for a while
“This to me screams Hit The Lights”
What’s cool is the line “full speed or nothing” is actually from Motorbreath so it seems like they’re paying homage to the entire first album
Freewheel Burning! Freewheel Burning!
Trujilo is a mean bass player. Been a fan of his since old Suicidal Tendencies.
Great vid man. You always have good takes.
Dude, exactly what I thought when forst time hearing it, expecially with the Garage Inc.production and Sabbra Cadabra stuff what you said. And I didn't hear nobody say that in review until now. You're real deal!!
Tbh i find kirk a good guitarist. hes just the guy who should be in a good local cover band or smth but ended up in the most iconic metal band ever.
His solos are good, technique wise he’s really good.
Nah man Kirk's solos from RtL through TBA are top notch. Out of all of the original guys in the band he's the one who hasn't shaken off the rust since the Load albums, every solo since then is very bluesy and not....metal. You can hear hints of young Kirk in some places but for the most part he hasn't dug deep.
@BatFan1
That's cuz Dave Mustaine wrote his solos on Kill 'em All and Then JAMES wrote them all until load.
@@MrParkerman6
James doesn’t write solos, he’s a riff master.
@@youreokayboah2128 yes he does
"I guess you technically can't sue yourself"
Lars: "Challenge accepted"
"Everyone hates Load and Reload"
Me, who unironically puts "King Nothing" and "The Memory Remains" in his 10 favourite Metallica songs: Oh
Lars has definitely improved since probably Mid-2021, since they really got into album mode
I love Hardwired personally, and I actually really loved this new song and I’m excited for the new album
The video is incredible. James sounds great, especially for his age. Lars, if it is him playing all the way through, sounds good. Kirk laid down a track consistent with his work the last decade or so, for better or worse.
I like this track, and ill probably always get excited for new music, new Metallica specifically. However, I cant say its there best work, but ill buy the record and try to see them live.
I do believe Lars played it. I don't believe he played it all in one take. I believe he recorded it in parts, which every damn drummer does, especially modern blast beat drummers. Hell, those guys even use drum machines! No one gives them shit! Dave Lombardo just said all of that in an interview I recently watched him in. No way in hell Lars had someone come in and play and record the drums for him, or use studio trickery. Lars wrote, played, and recorded those drums! Period!
Probably the exact same way he recorded Hardwired. Just looped everything
@@Thegamer10113 Probably. But to say it's not him or he's using some sort of studio magic is reckless and insulting. To say that, you better have damn proof. I know I would be mad as hell if someone accused or speculated that about me. But, Metallica are used to hate and criticism. That take it in stride while they do what they love, swim in pools of money, travel the world, and bang all kinds of hot chicks!
I agree on the production! Sounds great.
Name of the song and the fact that in the end of the song James says "light it" makes me think this is a kind of homage to Hit the lights and maybe also the whole NWOBHM-scene. I got really strong "the prince" vibe. I think the song wasn't in the EP that came out in 1987 but it was in the Garage inc. One of my favorite covers by them.
I have never seen anyone so pumped up for a new metallica song as you! I envy, ney! - I bow to you sir! haha.
the song in it self is good, will work fine on the mainstream scene. But as for a song from Metallica, it's not very interesting and will not be a song to remember as one of the great ones, but I will probably put it on time to time because..well.. it's Metallica. :)
The video was incredible visually. It reminds me of Stranger Things in the Upside Down and maybe they are playing off the hype that Master of Puppets got from that show. When Kirk did his solo and it all went red, that was like yep. Stranger Things. lol. Love the song. Very excellent groove. Unreal drums which I agree that it was highly edited in post. Metallica is my favorite band ever for the last almost 20 years so I am typically bias but I can see where Mike was coming from with a lot of his points. Basically Hit The Lights II. Lux Æterna literally means "Eternal Light". If we are getting songs on 72 Seasons that are heavily influenced by KEA, maybe we will get a few that is influenced by RTL or even Master of Puppets.
This new album sounds a mix of old and new, Im in love with it/.
Of course that part as a wink to Hit The Light, since the song is called Eternal Light.
In my opinion, like you said, it's one of their best performances in a while. S&M 2 was super underwhelming to me and this is definitely a refresher.

HI DANE HELLO HOW ARE YOU DANE HELLO
@@ygslyn6732 oh hi lol didn’t think I’d see you in here lol
I have nothing else to add, you pretty much said everything I thought while I listened to this song
Its has good moments but mostly I was like "im sure theyve done this exact part already"
But overall its a nice tune
Hit the Lights, Eternal Light. Could be accidental, but if it's on purpose it's cool. Decent song. I'll say the same thing I always say when a band or artist that was once godlike puts out a new album. They already did their masterpieces. Look at it like bonus stuff. If you look at it that way, you can appreciate it in a different way. I look at Dream Theater, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, etc. and any other bands that have already made 10/10 albums when I say that. It's probably very, very difficult to make another album that can rival Metropolis Pt. 2, Siamese Dream, or Dirt respectively. The three bands I listed put out some great stuff after their masterpiece, and some came close to it again. Kill Em' All through The Black Album are of course my favorite. I wish them well on their tour and new album, take care everyone out there.
It's an album about early years the years you start taking shape so I wouldn't be surprised if other tracks follow a pattern of "hit the lights" new version, "ride the lightning" new version etc.
I am kind of hoping the new album will have a few "ballads" on it as well, because Hardwired didn't really. Don't get me wrong I love Metallica's heavy and fast stuff, but I also love songs like Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, The Unforgiven trilogy, Hero of the Day (especially the S&M version) and Low Man's Lyric.
It's rehashing hit the lights basically but after 40 years I don't expect much innovation from any band, dream theater hasn't had much innovation in their new music but it's still good and Mike I've been following your band crusade and I'm patiently waiting for new material to give me an eargasm like pendulum did and you guys deserve more recognition for your craft
Judas Priest had new innovation after 50 years with Firepower
@@mybluguitar6051 True but Priest at this current time depending on how pedantic you are has 1,2 or no founding members.
They got fresh blood in the band with Faulkners and currently Andy Sneaps production. Which gives the band new ideas/life Vs other bands that have had the same guys for decades like Metallica or iron maiden.
Not saying it’s the definitive way to look at it. But it’s an unfair comparison .
@@ad1170 That's a fair point. However, Judas Priest did release Nostradamus back in 2008 and at that time, except for Scott Travis, and that was not at all rehashing their old sound. Honestly, a better example would've been Rush considering they dropped Clockwork Angels after 40 years of having the same band members.
What about Megadeth"s Dystopia? Won a Grammy and Megadeth ...the sick...the dying ...and the dead
Its one song but like you said if this is a sign of things to come we could be getting the best thrash metallica album in a long long time
You said exactly what I was thinking about Hit The Lights.
Surprised you didn’t comment on the fact that James reused a lyric from Motorbreath lol. “Full speed or nothing” is in both of the songs.
It reminds me a lot of Lords of Summer, in a good way
That's not possible.
I knew this video was coming
what a great video thanks !
I agree with what you pointed out clearly in the musical aspect of the song ....but at the same time I gotta give James credit he really stepped up to the plate on vocals at his age .......that's probably the best track vocally ive heard from him in what's seems like eons of time
What do you mean his age? He is 50s, not dead, dumbass. 50s isn't even that old these days if you take care of yourself, stupid comment.
I think Justin Hawkins said it best "after being in the business for so many years, you become a parody of yourself". Love the track, can't wait for the new album.
These guys are literally 60 and in my opinion, still got it. Literally picking up where they left off from Hardwired! However, I honestly think this song alone, is better than half, maybe 2/3s, of Hardwired! And I agree! Hit The Lights with a Motorhead vibe! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Totally agree I wasn’t too psyched on Hardwired. This is much more my speed
I like it! I could have done with a straight ahead video than the laser show, but it was still the Metallica jack hammer I've loved al these years.
Great analysis!
100% agree about the solo unfortunetly.... overall a positive surprise tho, excited to hear more of the album
10:00
I want to cite you from your worst Metallica songs videos:"He wrote the fucking One solo!"
It only took Lars playing his old Justice-Black Album era kit again to start sounding reinvigorated. If only they tried this earlier.
I love the song. Now I know a lot of that is it’s brand new and we haven’t heard anything new from them since 2016 but the other part of it is it’s totally old school. I totally agree with what you said that it’s basically a modern hit the lights. I’m definitely excited to see what else is in store on the record
My first impression immediately brought Hit the Lights to mind then flavors of some of the Garge Inc sounds. It has a bit of that spirit even if it's not as good as Hit the Lights.
iT dOeSnT sOuNd LiKe BBbBbbBBblaaackened, PoP bAaAaaAanD
It felt REAL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i recently bought this album it sounds good and the production with this record
Was hoping you'd do a reaction :)
That solo sounds like Kirk accidentally did the wrong solo and everybody got confused and didn't notice so they just continued with the song
Sounds more like he tried to play the Judas kiss solo but rushed thru to take a shit.
...And Justice for all had some of the best drumming, in my opinion. Also I can't listen to St. Anger without that snare drum.
It's gotten to the point where I need that snare drum, or else I can't listen to it properly
I really likd this song tbh, its fun, simple and just a headbanger
Amazing
The Song has a lot of Motorhead all over it.
Did anyone else notice that he didn't wait for the actual end of the song? He stopped like 15 seconds before it was over.
Yes I was a bit disapointed with that. Since how it come in again makes the song sound a little less predictable.
Excellent analysis
I fucking loved the new Metallica song. I have been itching for new Metallica and I can't wait for the new album on April 14th, 2023.
My question is when will Kirk start writing actual music and stop spamming legit THE SAME licks he used in all of hardwired, it sounds soooo damn uninspired, it makes the song worse and I can't really see what he brings to the band now if things don't change when the album is released and we hear all the goodies..
I love Kirk, I really do, a lot of my favorite solos are from him and that is exactly why I want to see him reach deeper inside and create a masterpiece instead of half-assing a solo with random licks and notes..
Also to be fair..Lars has improved A TON recently..even during concerts he sounds really great, not always but improvement wise, totally!
I feel ya. His solo record was actually good and well thought out. It's not that he can't still create killer solos, because he clearly can, but for some reason, he just refuses to when it comes to composing for Metallica.
@@Sid00077 that's bc he DOESN'T compose for metallica, he just goes in studio and does some random improv :(
Moth to the flame had good solo or how the song was called.
@@kkarx it was decent yeah
Cmonnnnn man lol I highly doubt Lars didn’t play that.
I think he’s on a mission to prove people wrong
I really liked it. Looking forward to the album way more than I was with hardwired.
I think sometimes it’s best for Metallica to just do what they do best and to tighten up their basics, a problem with Death Magnetic is that it seemed they were trying too hard to put in effort to make each song a masterpiece (looking at you end of the line) and on Hardwired it was weirdly experimental, this is just crisp pure speed metal
It's a solid 7 out of ten for me. Nothing new fun chrous. It's basically a kill em all song with way better production,performances and better singing
The song's name means Eternal Light in Latin, maybe they did it on purpose?
That hotdog to the face gif killed me 🤣
Garage Inc was recorded in a few days and edited very quickly. So for it to sound as good as it did and be done so quickly. It's crazy.
This was better than everything on hardwired EXCEPT spit out the bone 😈
*INCLUDING spit out the Bone.
@@MrParkerman6 well I'm glad you liked the new single so much! It does rock 🤘🏻
I'll be honest, I love Kirks solo. It sounded proper thrashy and, to me, solos that sound improv and not planned give off more energy and emotion. Plus, I'm a massive sucker for scale solos, like Disintegrators from Megadeth
I had pretty much the same reaction. Sounds like a new Hit the Lights. I didn't think it sounded angry enough though. I wonder what amps they use this album. James does not sound like a Diezel and Kirk's solo sounded flat in the tone.
Me gusta tu análisis de la canción 😊💪🏻
