@@alfredooliva5175not at all…i was there and then got reimbursed for not being able to make the second show that was rescheduled. People not feeling good doesn’t mean Covid …get your head out of the gutter…Covid isn’t the only illness and maybe you never had anything you were passionate about but when you do you do all you can to do it…stop
@alfredooliva5175 more than likely he figured it was just a small thing, but as the show went on he probably really started to feel it. We've ALL been there. Where we feel ill, but figure it's no big deal, then all of a sudden just start feeling like hell. Especially if we are doing something active.
Did he mention it? As for cutting the show short, it's the only right thing to do. Otherwise you'll risk a longer dysphonia period. Hopefully Covid will be kind to him.
Idk I myself would feel an insane pressure to perform to that much people and not be at my best, then again philosophically most people would like it to go on even if I wouldn't sound as good so I guess the most positive outcome is to carry on, me having a bad day is an insignificant issue than having to reschedule a concert for thousands of people. I guess don't think to much, do the important bits and let the crowd sing for me is the way to go in situations like that.
I could tell something was off. I was in the Snake Pit, and James was right in front of me when he was talking about the song Fade to Black and suicide, and he was shaking.
Agreed I’ve had Covid 3 times and I’m 20 honestly the first time I had it in October 2020 with no vaccine it was kinda rough but not terrible but the side effects I felt from my first vaccine was terrible i know it was my body adapting to it but I never felt so bad in my life waking up multiple times a day for a solid 4 days straight in a pool of sweat fever constantly coming back then breaking as my parents put it I was on oxygen cause without it it would drop in the low 90s my oxygen normally is 99-100 but now if I get it I barely feel anything thanks to the vaccines hoping James gets through this still surprised he finished the show despite feeling that way that takes raw determination!
@@goldenwolf8081 feel for you mate, my covid experience was just this 1 time, nothing like yours, thankfully only flu like symptoms slight headache and no energy for 3 days only, then came right, and back to work after 1 week at home. But, everyone is different and affects us in varying ways. I am sure he will pull through this and move on.
0:16 You can hear him tell the crew "We gotta skip this song" referring to The Day That Never Comes. Can't quite make out the second part of what he says. Something like "I can't sing it."
Really unfortunate situation all around. Hope James gets well soon. And I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it must feel to be a fan that can’t show up to the 2nd night after Puppets was skipped on night 1.
I will be at Night 2, but I am pretty sad about missing Master. Especially since this was my girlfriends first Metallica show and Master was in her top 3 songs to hear. I have seen it before, but it of course never gets old.
My friend is from Nevada. He flew out all the way to Phoenix with his dad and mom; this was going to be his first concert and that being Metallica. Since night two was rescheduled, he can’t go see it and has to fly home. It really sucks. Get well soon James.
“All the way to Phoenix…..from Nevada….” Dude, you do realize Arizona boarders Nevada, right? Lol all the way to Phoenix hahahaha You make it sound like he flew in from Athens. Hahahaha
@@OlinKreutzRulesdo you not realize how much plane tickets are? i also came from nevada to this show and i don’t know if i can make saturday, of course it was short notice and we all want james to get well and put on a good show it’s just that the timings suck and mot everyone can afford to go home and fly back a week later. again we all would love to and we don’t blame metallica stuff happens

I can appreciate everyone’s situations but you as well as every other person who bought tickets knew in advance that there is always going to be potential issues. Have a good night. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I think he was more wondering why the intro for The Day That Never Comes stopped. He didn't yet know they were skipping it, so he was looking around like "What's going on? Are we not playing the next song on the setlist?"
Ahh. Sucks when that happens. But then you make the call and as a singer myself (with MUCH less experience) I'll go ahead and say that was the only right one. The voice was already gone. James was channeling Sepultura there by that point.
I think their security knew.. cuz when he walked out at the very beginning of the show they all had masks on around him...Gave it all he could, get well PAPA HET.

yeah, and I guess, he took some pills at 1:00 + looks like lots of hot tea or coffee. maybe they didn't know it's covid but he definitely was not feeling good upd: nah, probably they did know it, but was trying to make it through the weekend without canceling shows
I doubt they knew before the show. I saw him hugging it out with Robert on the other video Curtis565 posted .. also touching the crowd before the show.
@@TheEdorizobecause it’s not just about the individual, it’s about the hundreds being paid to make this show even exist. It’s about NOT being selfish…ass clown
He probably felt like he could push through with the show, but halfway through must've just started feeling like hell. He was right in front of me during Fade to Black, and when he was speaking about the song and suicide, he was literally shaking.

Even if they didn't actually know he got covid. They were suspicious was covid till the test comes out positive. Thats why their crew was wearing masks. Very professional from their side not to cancel last minute. Probably James felt he can pull out the entire show. Under these circumstances to skip two songs is not that bad..His voice was in a bad olace after the third song. this is how things happen. Zero risks and accurates only the dead people have

Um....security put masks on out of an abundance of caution. It's quite possible that he thought he was just getting a cold or something. To my knowledge the positive test was after the show. Also I am confused, where did you hear James was anti-vaccine? I haven't seen that anywhere.
They sounded like 💩 as usual, do hope he gets well soon though. Pantera kicks their ass at these shows as the opening act with half the original band and none of the cheesy lighting and other bs, thought I was at a Madonna concert watching Metallica. I mean seriously yelling out "Phoenix!!!" half a dozen times is about as cheesy as it gets.
Phoenix got screwed out of 2 songs. The Tallica boys should make it right by playing 20 songs on their rescheduled show in Phoenix. 1 hour and 46 minutes is not Metallica standard. This is not Cheap Trick people, this is METALLICA!!!!!!! Over 2 hours is their minimum.
Was supposed to go today, I hope he gets better, but they should do the songs that they didn’t play on Friday, then they skipped puppets I was like wtf , my dad said they shouldn’t have done some songs from the new album so they could sing the other songs, but I hope he gets better
@@bruhshefYour dad isn’t an idiot. I’m sure they didn’t know it at the time. They literally played the intro to Day and then James realized he won’t be able to sing it and they cut it. MOP is the last song so it was easy to cut it at the end
What a trooper! This guy is 60, clearly hurting yet the show goes on! Long live Metallica! Best band ever! Get well James!

I noticed a change in James when they played Sad but True
Hope he gets feeling better.👍🏻
It was still a great concert!,
Yeah, that's when he started to let the crowd do the singing. At first I thought it was just the mic went out.
James is a very strong man. He will overcome this quickly
Really unfortunate situation all around. Hope James gets well soon. And I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it must feel to be a fan that can’t show up to the 2nd night after Puppets was skipped on night 1.
One thing Metallica are always known for is making up shows further down the line. They’ll be back one way or another!
It really sucks man! I can’t make it out for Night 2, but I was thankful I got to see Night 1!
I will be at Night 2, but I am pretty sad about missing Master. Especially since this was my girlfriends first Metallica show and Master was in her top 3 songs to hear. I have seen it before, but it of course never gets old.

Bless his heart and his lungs.

Their new setlist is always 16 songs nowadays. Can understand that it sucks that they skipped 2 songs but health is more important.
