      Jason has a ton of vocal fry, he's almost a death metal vocalist at this point. I personally like the style but I don't think it suits Metallica. They are a thrash band, maybe rock, but they aren't obituary or cannibal corpse or napalm death. James is a much much higher pitch. It's not a power thing. It's a style.

    In 1990 my parents moved to a new house. I was 10, didn't know metal existed. The previous tenants had left some trash, including a small box of cassettes, no cases and no marks on them. I played them all in the old National-Panasonic stereo and only one had music on one side (just 30 mins), the other side being blank. I could not figure out what the hell was that noise but I was instantly hooked for life by that pounding DA-DA-DA.. DA-DA-DA-DAAA-DA-DA in the first song, and specially by the haunting inexplicable mournfulness of an instrumental piece at the end of those glorious 30 mins of strange music that had fallen upon my innocent hands by pure chance. A couple years later, already becoming a metalhead and after listening to it a few million times, I finally realized I had been listening to the side two of ..and Justice For All. Now, almost 30 years later, every single time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps at the realization that this is the first metal song I ever heard and came to deeply love, without even knowing who played it. Peace.

      Ya I love Kirk. I spent ten years study his style and it's awesome. Beautiful but he is sloppy as hell live. I realize now he never quite had the chops. When he does the ascending and descending runs with the fast alternate picking I think he's just tremolo picking and hitting almost random notes but still following the scale shapes on one string . Slop. He's definitely not the best technical player. Dime was way more skilled but I can't really choose one over the other.

    Little Story: I'm a guy with Autism. One of the things my particular kind of Autism does, is mess with my eye hand coordination. Which basically killed every chance of me playing guitar. But when I heard this song, I wanted to play it so bad, or at least just the main riff. So I taught myself to play electric, like Jeff Healey.
    I had taught myself to play power cords, tuning strings to different notes, WAY DIFFERENT from normal tunings, but it worked for the way I played. I started, and deemed this one too hard, so i started with "The Game" By Motörhead. I crushed it, and played it beautifully. Soon, I was playing Motörhead like no tomorrow. Which then it was time for the real test.
    I started with Metallica, playing Enter Sandman. And, I got good at all kinds of Metallica, at all ages. REALLY GOOD.
    Up until last week, where i tried to do the full Justice album (Can't play blackened, that riff just doesn't Cooperate lol.) And when I heard this song, I took the time to learn it, and now I play this song like a dream. Friends I know dont even DARE to attempt the songs I can play. I EVEN LEARNED DYER'S EVE.

    When I was at the sixth grade, almost twelve years old (1989), I read Metal Hammer a lot but the only cassettes I owned had Guns n Roses and ACDC. So I decided to go to the record store to buy something new. I was between Metallica and Motorhead, just for their names, without knowing nothing about their music. I decided to go for Metallica just for the name. I went to the store and asked the man there: "Do you have any new cassettes of Metallica?"(sic!) I thought that anything old was slow and soft. So he showed me a few. I remember I saw Kill Em All and something with lIghtnings on the cover! I finally picked something other and when I went to pay I did not have enough money. I said to the man: "Wait for me to get home and get more money" He said: "Wait I ll give you something else and you wont have to pay that much". So he gave me an untitled rewritable tape! And I paid for a rewritable tape! But when I went home and put the tape to the player, the sound of a very formidable music filled my ears. Some years later, and as I already listened to the tape with no titles and no sign whatsoever for thousands of times, I realised that the record was the ...And Justice For All. The tape brings me great memories, even if Dyers Eve was slaughtered because it did not fit in the tape!
