@@leomessi7058 Never said it did. More popular doesn't mean worse either. Note how OP said "iconic". That means they were talking about recognition and popularity. James' "Yeah" is more famous and recognizable than Layne's.
Guillermo Somarriba Araya has an infinitely more aggressive style than James, that's for sure and is good for Slayer. However James has a greater range to his voice & Tom doesn't step outside his gnarly, shouty, monotone delivery.
Gregg Mather but that was in 1990. He then took lesson but singing with that compression and distortion for 4 years straight wasn’t a good idea. He did have it on Load but it got worse by reload.
@@H.E.M. But James had it again in S&M when they performed TTTSNB. I think at the S&M concert we got a mix of both old James vocals and the new James vocals, its pretty interesting to listen to. But I really miss his old voice, nowadays he can't sound like the Justice and Black album era anymore.
@@NatureLover-cc2hf If you start at 1:15 James says "-AY YOUR", missing the "s" in "say". Therefore, the vocals start before 1:15, and so 1:14 is the correct starting point.
@@nelihmazen1420 I hear it at 1:33 on "open". Also at 2:12, sounds like he's saying the word "white" maybe? More subtle at 2:21 on "bite". 2:34 on the "ter" of "enter". There are others, but those are the ones that stick out to me.

viejo, profundamente agradecido con vos, justamente lo busque en esta resolución hace rato y aun no lo había encontrado y como decimos acá sigue así nunca cambies.
so true, but you know what is so weird? He blew his vocal cords recording "So What" prior to recording the Black album, yet IMHO, his voice was at it's prime during this album. Amazing, the fry he does here is madness, and very addictive to listen to.
James voice was on FIRE back then. AND HE WAS THE BEST THRASH VOICE!!!!.. If he still had it I bet their TONE on guitars and drums would go back to the way IT WAS AND SHOULD BE. But the way things are going.........NNNEEEEVEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the production Bob Rock puts on the vocals - They haven't recorded anything in this style for a long time. Both St Anger and DM are seriously dry, just dead in fact. I hope they decide to put more polish on his vocals for the next album

1:37 When James's voice has more distortion than his guitar :D
Yeah
@@kujojotaro5222 ты не с Ростова случайно ?
2:07 One of my favorite vocal lines from James. Absolute perfection.
dudeee mine too
Is it because of a year in the life of Metallica ?
1:37
My ears just melted
+HarvesterOfSorrow01 loving the pic
for me absolutely 4:33 = the pinnacle
3:45 my favourite part of Enter Sandman. What a great voice James has.
it's Jason maybe?
nope
same
@@mishanegr Jason is a good backup singer but nowhere near that good. That's peak Hetfield right there.
@@a.t.3192 i think Newsted is a good solist. His band is true heavy metal, u can hear it. But his vocal suits more to metallica
DREAMS OF WAR
DREAMS OF LARS!
thought i am the only One who hears that xD
Dreams of dragons fire!
AND A BAKED APPLE PIEEE YEAH
I will never unhear this! Thank you!
dreams of wah
dreams of lars

not saying much. none are great singers except for james. his voice appeals to alot of different people.
The voice of heavy metal
James Grohl Zlatan The voice of James Hetfield
Oh, I thought it was thrash
@@robloxnoob626 Metallica considered themselves Heavy Metal.
@@robloxnoob626 Enter Sandman definitely isn't Thrash
Nah that's randy blythe
His vocals were the best here. The range with the rasp was so badass. If only they didn’t tour for 4 years straight maybe he’ll still have it.
He blew his voice out while recording “So What” during the Black Album sessions. It’s all the Anti-Nowhere League’s fault.

scared the shit outta me when his vocals came in lol
Lmao same
5:07 The skills of James are amazing, he can make guitar sounds with her voice
2:18 AND A BAKED APPLE PIE!!!
Thanks. I can't unhear that now 😂
Lmao😂
The is not even a chance to hear BAKED when he sings "and the things that will bite".
I really like the harmonized section of "taaaake my haaand"
James Hetfield, que voz!
Uno de los mejores voces de metal que tuvo en su tiempo, grande.
me:sitting txting
James: SAY UR PRAYS!!!!!!!
R.I.P earphones :(
4:31 when I forget my bagged frozen groceries at the store.
goddamn it lmao
😂
he sounds so good without instruments ❤😩
Such a rich,crisp and creepy voice at the same time
That moment when he is singing in his shower
4:08 that sounded so melodic
there is harmonized vocal line in the back
3:29 i just need this for our live performance
Awesome singer
MY BRAIN HAS JUST MELTED AND DRIPPED FROM MY EARS INTO A PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR
Wow what a raw voice he had back then... he sounds more mature here but you can still listen to a little bit of the Kill 'Em All days
4:31 when you step on a lego piece
it's funny, since I heard the vocal track the first time, I always notice the shaker in the beginning. never had before
Haha - yes you're right. That's awesome :)
Thats called a symbol

YEEEHEEAH
+EETFUK UUHHHHHHAAH
YOOOO
Great audio engineering and recording the track with the best mics. Bob Rock is a great producer and engineer.
He's amazing.
4:31 come on we all know is the absolute best part of this song
fucking amazing growl.
I like how he doesn't bother with vibrato.
He had a very subtle fast vibrato
@RikuKH only metal singer who can do vibrato right consistently is Bruce Dickinson, and he does it VERY well
@@Samford_ That and Dax Riggs when he was in Acid Bath, Still can do vocals beautifully, just cant scream anymore.
@@boklau366 I know your comment is 6 years old, but can you please point where exactly do you hear his vibrato? Because to me, it's non-existent.

Eargasm. The real voice of Heavy/Thrash Metal.
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
I pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit, light
Enter, night
Grain of sand
Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah!
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
5:20 FAVORITE PART
gorgeous! love the tone on "exit light" line
Eeeeeeexit liiiigghT
Someone inject this into my veins so I can sing like him
Use your voice

Amazing job here! All these vocal layers complement themselves in a wonderful way.

I think I heard somewhere that the kid saying the prayer was fake (synth voice). He definitely sounds real to me here.
kid: Pray the lord my soul to cake
James: Cake? Haha he's hungry
It's actually Bob Rocks son.
..and Jason
"We're off to never never land" :-D
Nope, it's actually James :P
James Hetfield...He even speaks in the perfect tone.
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🤘😎
due to a stroke and an attention disorder this is now the only way i can achieve a decent semi
The best period vocals of James!

James’ vocals on the black album just reek of testosterone
tie between macho mans "ooooh yeaaahh" and james "yeah yeahhhhhh"
Layne staley's "yeah" from the song rooster is very underappreciated as well

the voice of god
best voice on the planet at its best!
These videos of yours are great for practicing some good old-fashioned Metallica karaoke.
Here is raw audio of James singing his kids to sleep
1:30 that has to be my favorite part of the video
4:40 when I realize I forgot to pick the kids up
4:43 to 5:27 Can you hear this badass deep voice behind all the other vocal lines ?
i mean the "ooooh" ^^
He and Jason used to mimick that live sometimes
His voice at his best
HELL YEAH
Even with vocals it sounds badass
Casi casi hasta está mejor así que con música, Hetfield tiene una de las voces que más me gustan.
Hunter Clary lololololol
Dalila Trujillo ingles?
when he says "take my hand" it sounds like a blue grass harmony LOLOLOLOL and it sounds awesome
Saiyan Prayers, it’s a wand
Dreams of wah
Dreams of Lars
Dreams of dragonflies
And of baked apple pie *yeah*
Hetfield sounds powerful as fuck!
this is perfect vocal
When it kicked in I had a heart attack
He really is the hottest voice out there. Even listening to him speaking is a pleasure. 🤩
I love this!
4:11 to 4:27 That is pretty epic
EPIC pic of James in his prime.
5:07 Nice solo
Love the production Bob Rock puts on the vocals - They haven't recorded anything in this style for a long time. Both St Anger and DM are seriously dry, just dead in fact. I hope they decide to put more polish on his vocals for the next album
amazing holy
Even the click track sounds cool as an aid AND an effect in the song.
The lyrics sound allot more clear without the instrumentals
Grant Cornell Obviously
No really?!
now we know why sandman sound so powerful. bob add guitar to vocal track
Pray the lord my soul to cake
Cornelius Helius HAHAHA he’s hungry
MY SOUL IS A CAKE????
Starts at 1:15
Jason Newsted's voice when he says "We're off to Never Neverland" towards the end
Oh, James can do "wah-wah" like Kirk's guitar
If you guys look up for whom the bell tolls vocals only, James sounds a lot like he does here.
Nice Broooo
soy el unico que abre dos pestañas en yt uno instrumental y otro solo vocal y los sincroniza a la vez????? xdxdxdx
Great voice!!! When you can do that with no instruments! Man stop it! Bro is bumpin’!!! 😮😮😮
5:11 That is some nightmare material right here O_O
James y su risa rompehuevos xD
Grande Hetfield!!!
andy bernard was wrong m8 acapella is not better in tis one
+MUSCULAR BEAR I got the reference...
I'm having eargasms
4:39 when I forgot I had homework the due the next day
beast
YEHHEEEEAAAA!
YEAH YEAAAAH!!!
Didn't think about that at all till I read your comment. Now it's all I can think about when I hear it, hahah.
What I love about this comment section is that everyone is saying a different part is their favorite part 😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
how is it possible to sing like he did ?! lol forgot how awesome it was
Reminds me of how many guys tried to sound like him. I’d say M. Shadows is the only guy that got close
Hell Yeah!!!
