      Everyone likes to point to one year that was Metallica's prime but in my opinion it was a span of 2 albums: Justice through end of Black. They were at their peak in the studio as well as out of the studio playing live. Every show since Justice has been tighter and tighter which I think peaked around 93ish-94. So you basically have from 88-94 as their peak.....in my opinion of course. That's just how I rated it.

He had this Live Shit box set and obviously I made copies on cassette tape of this amazing Mexico City show. We knew all the quotes from James and Jason and would mimic it constantly.

      He’s actually sounding incredible right now. I’d argue that he got a good chunk of his power and growl back around Hardwired. And I’ve heard him during the pandemic and he’s sounding even better with the time off. So I’m hoping their new album is a complete return to the early 90’s Hetfield. Of course we all age and the vocals deepen but that’s not a bad thing for James’ style...as long as the bark is there.

    • @aldee1003

      Freddy silvas zamudio agreed. im sure that after all these years he probably could do it but its a terrible risk with an obvious outcome. there are sometimes where he does the growl and im like live shit is that you? but he does it rarely and usually just uses the voice he uses now

    • @RodrigoBoschi

      he actually do it during live show , but just for few seconds, as the other says before he's not young anymore and also had some vocal problems due to black album tour .
      nowadays he find a way to get a good voice without problems, tha's why he's so comfortable with hardwired songs .

    New blood joins this earth
    And quickly he's subdued
    Through constant pain disgrace
    The young boy learns their rules
    With time the child draws in
    This whipping boy done wrong
    Deprived of all his thoughts
    The young man struggles on and on he's known
    Ooh, A vow unto his own
    That never from this day
    His will they'll take away
    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never be
    Never see
    Won't see what might have been
    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never free
    Never me
    So I dub thee unforgiven
    They dedicate their lives
    To running all of his
    He tries to please them all
    This bitter man he is
    Throughout his life the same
    He's battled constantly
    This fight he cannot win
    A tired man they see no longer cares
    The old man then prepares
    To die regretfully
    That old man here is me
    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never be
    Never see
    Won't see what might have been
    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never free
    Never me
    So I dub thee unforgiven
    What I've felt

Drumming sounds great, bass line sounds good, Kirk’s solos are awesome as always and then James’s beautiful voice just ties it all together! This song is so good it can put me to sleep if I can’t sleep like at all! It’s an awesome song and I love it!
