I feel the same on James. Lars is unpredictable as usual, sometimes he’s tight as hell, sometimes he’s very sloppy. Kirk seems to have problems remembering some leads here and there. He plays wrong notes/chords from time to time still. Rob is rock solid as always.
It's good to see that Lars has obviously been practicing and got himself back in shape. He had reached a sad meme status for a while. And I'm not sure how it's possible, but James Hetfield's voice sounds better than it ever has.
My god could be 1983..I don't know how James kept his voice..Lars is definitely back and out of his downward spiral as a drummer...James looks sober and super healthy-
@@michelmeijer yet on Kimmel Lar’s drums were so loud on Master of Puppets that they overpowered everything else on stage, sound level wise. It was kind of absurd, the ego he has.
I don't care what anyone says I love Kirk's solo! It's just so visceral and raw and explosive, just a burst of emotion. I love the whole damn song! And James's singing is on another level! They killed it!
Out of all of the 80s rockers, James’ voice has held up better than any of them in any genre. And I’m not even a huge Metallica fan, but it is just undeniable he’s sounds better than the vast majority of singers from his era. He sound fantastic!
I love how well Lars played, and he didn't do any unnecessary fills, he did the same ones in the song for the most part.. and even did one that wasn't, and it was fine.
Wow totally - I have not listened to Metallica in 20 or so years (moved on to heavier less "mainstream" stuff), and definitely prefer their early 90s sound, but this one surprised me, including James doing some lower snippets. Respect.
Most people don't understand how hard this band works. Inbetween European and South American and North American tours and rehearsals for them, and constant random shows here and there, they are writing, rehearsing and recording new material, probably more aggressively than in the 80's and 90's. That's not mentioning the videos and the myriad other things they have going on. And the are all hands-on Family men!
Been listening to these guys since 84. They are like family to me. We are close to the same age and Hetfield going to Downey high school by my house makes them see closer. I’m 57 and they have been going on while my life goes through different seasons.
Holy crap, that was actually impressive! The band is tight, and while I can't say the songwriting is classic-Metallica-memorable, the song still bangs.
Well done gentlemen. After all these years you sound amazingly refreshed and still totally pumping, All power to you. Your well-respected position in music history is so well deserved. Long may you continue.
I’m not the biggest Metallica fan out of the big 4. But credit where credit is due, this is a. A red hot song and b. An absolutely blistering live version of it. Best they have sounded in years. 🔥
as Metallica grows stronger with time, i can't imagine the fun to hear and see them doing this in 10 years!! This will be massive and unreal, yet i'm absolutely sure they'll go for it with a wild joy
There was teases of them in studio for a few weeks/months before hand and they said they had a special announcement coming up and the announcement ended up being Hardwired. This record was complete silence then bam! New song.
Awesome version! How the bass is rollin’ … how James’ voice sounds … really great performance. I am so much looking forward to see the “boyz” live again. 🤘💀🤘
Howard's audio mix is always legendary but it's more interesting to see how the band's live arrangement of the new song is evolving. if you wanna get critical, you can tell that it's not yet perfect *("we know you know how to play the old stuff")* but it's already extremely tight. this band is effortlessly tight which is exactly what you get after 40 years of touring together.
The whole reason Metallica is big is just the chemistry between all of them as a whole(and it is amazing). I'd just love to hear an instrumental album of just James

It's just you and two other nerds.
No...its just you..
Kirk adding wahs at random moments is the most Kirk thing I've ever seen
Hes the king of wah...not a suprised 🤘🏻😂
If your Kirk doesn't wah, is he even really your Kirk?
He is no Wah Wah Watson!
I am the wah wah king, I can do anything.
@David Loftis Then you should listen to his stuff in the 80s.
Those tribute band getting mention must be an amazing feeling knowing lars taking attention to those.
He probably sued all of them after the show.
@@enginestarter664 Lmao!! That's what I was thinking too.
Someone needs to make a Metallica tribute band and name it Napster
@@enginestarter664 Lol
@@enginestarter664 So what you are saying is that you know mothing about music.
James voice sounds awesome 🤘 best shape in a long time! Whole band sounds just great!🤘
I noted the same about James, he sounds really good and physically looks to be in some of the best shape over the last 10 years or so.
Точняк,по сравнению с мастейном

@@tonschalestudio5791 how do you now that?
😮😢🎉❤
If I heard this video playing in the background I'd think it was the studio version. Picture perfect performance.
They change some things. Kirk's lead interludes are different and Lars uses the toms on the big fill at the end.
Agreed
I bet Lars got the lawyers to follow up with the cover bands to collect licence fees
@@redrick8900 they could change the drummer for a start.
They really got tight lately.
How is that even possible at what age 60??!! What a spark what energy!! They look and sound so awesome! Killer song.
Idk how but James just keeps getting better and better.
Джеймс красавчик, он прибавляет с годами!) Удивительно
Best rhythm guitarist of all time in my opinion.
Not even close. Malcom Young will always be #1 by a mile. Less is more.
@@allanr6132 change out your pad
@@allanr6132 I love and respect AC/DC, but Malcom can’t touch James.

This is the best they've sounded in years. Killer stuff
James vocals sound the best they ever have...he's really impressed me in recent years. His voice on this new album is my favorite its ever been.
Production/mix/tuning so good these days.
too good sometimes
Anything in the Stern studio is amazing
I’m sorry, I’m still a Lars fan. This whole band just brings the energy. Absolutely legendary!!!
no need to be sorry
???Sorry. Odd word to start the sentence witj.
He should learn to play the drums at some point though
@@MaYstruction Arguably the richest drummer alive should learn to play the drums? 🤡
@@MaYstruction First he has to get some .. Instead of buckets ..
Man... the sound mixing is always 💯 on Howard Stern.
With the metallica team, also on jimmy Kimmel, they don't do it without there own team
@@michelmeijer yet on Kimmel Lar’s drums were so loud on Master of Puppets that they overpowered everything else on stage, sound level wise. It was kind of absurd, the ego he has.
It's unbelievably good 🤯
@@amostlyreasonableguyblame whoever mixes the sounds lmfao
This is the tightest I’ve heard Metallica in a long time. They’re re-energized.
They're engineered you mean! ;)
“Tightest”
The fame they received in the series Stranger Things really brought them back.
Such a tight/solid performance. Hetfields vox are beyond amazing, great to see they're all still on top of their game🤘🏻
Wow the whole band sounded fantastic! That's the best I've heard Lars play since the 80s
lmao he could barely keep the tempo, he kept rushing or dragging and couldn't steady
@@Josh-it6uy mostly was slightly rushed, some of the cymbal chokes had to be a bit dragged where the guitar filled in but was hardly a disaster.
@@Josh-it6uy at least he's aware of his faults homeboy.
@@Josh-it6uy
You should contact him - maybe you can give him a few drum lessons. Then Metallica might finally become a successful band.
🤡 🤡 🤡
Lars did good here. The best thing imho is that he didn't improvise fills and stayed 'on script'. Sometimes that's all you want from a drummer 😊
Trujillo is killing it! 🔥🔥🔥
He's awesome!
KIlling it? Really? Is that what it takes today to be "killing it"? wow
@@runek75calm down lil bro
I don't care what anyone says I love Kirk's solo! It's just so visceral and raw and explosive, just a burst of emotion. I love the whole damn song! And James's singing is on another level! They killed it!
That was incredibly tight. They haven't sounded this good in a long time.
Is it just me or is Lars killing it?
He's killing the snare maybe.
He is in great shape, playing great.
thought it was a drum machine first time i heard the studio track
Just you
Different story to what you usually hear.
After all these years they’re still doing the dam thing and sound amazing. Love it
One million percent agree. Amazing.
It is great to see these guys back doing what they do best. Thanks Metallica
Damn they fucking nailed it. Love the new album so far and I know it’s only going to grow on me as I listen more.
That track could easily be in their first album. Same vibes as Hit the Lights.
I hear Whiplash too.
Totally thought the same thing.
the more I listen to this song, especially live, the more I like it
Damn, that's a gnarly bass tone Rob has going. The mix and the performance is fantastic.
Lars is back baby. James is killing it.
This mix is butter.
I swear james voice just gets better with age, one of the greatest vocalists of all time if not the best
Howards sound guys are amazing! When they all come in at the end of that opening riff... amazing!

Wow totally - I have not listened to Metallica in 20 or so years (moved on to heavier less "mainstream" stuff), and definitely prefer their early 90s sound, but this one surprised me, including James doing some lower snippets. Respect.
40 years on stage, close to turning 60 and still releasing kick ass music. Long live Metallica! \M/
I love the false ending near the 3:35 mark - and then the band says, "We're not close to done yet!" Great song, tight, tight, tight playing.
Metallica are still so great after all these years. They’re strength in songwriting is incredible.
LARS KILLING IT!!!! even faster than the original!

Yet Lars cant find a couple hours a week to improve his technique
It's fun, not your 9 to 5 job.
Luz Æterna is one of the first song I heard in the new album and I already knew that "72 seasons" was going to be a masterpiece
The rest of the album is even better.

Verse and chorus riff have serious Motörhead vibes. Great stuff 🤘
Thought the same when I first heard the song!

Hell yeah! Metallica was actually playing and not just performing. Energy was awesome 🤟🏻
no, they were performing
Wow! Tight and smooth. One of their best Stern performances.
I love the way lars stays slightly behind in tempo, such a unique sound none will ever recreate, so punk they sound amazing
Tight, energetic and good to dance to. Metallica is always an inspiration!
LARS IS KILLING IT!!!
James Hetfield is a national treasure.
Lars' double bass is so tight
Que pedazo de presentación, es sorpréndete ver a Lars con Doble Bombo de nuevo
Se rifaron muy cañón.
Amazing performance - James and Lars are on fire in this song!
One of my fave Metallica songs now
One thing I always loved about Metallica's songs is their accessibility and how fun they are to play
James making sure that Lars is up to what's happening throughout the song is the most Metallica thing of history
On fuckin' point... outstanding performance , everybody was on FIIIYAH!. . well done MetallicA!
You can tell they are really proud of what they have created and have put in the work!! F’n amazing! Well done Metallica.
Great song, great band with incredible musicians. Brilliant.
Metallica is on a new peak. It’s great to see them absolutely killing it
This was probably the tightest live performance of this song so far
Holy shit they sound good
Well…most of them do
Everyone besides Lars, but I guess that can just go unspoken at this point lol

I'm just impressed Lars made it through without keeling over. Especially as they sped up ever so slightly towards the end.
James & Kirk are so fucking talented.
thanks for teaching me how to play guitar, guys...
howard and metallica always seem to have a great chemistry when theyre on his show
Howard’s reaction was pure emotion! He’s the best
Now that´s just amazing! Lars is better than he´s been in many years it seems. And James voice is just great!
they always give 100% performance no matter where.. The Legend 🤟
Hey there, Lars. Happy to see you finally back from the shadows!
Great song. After all these years the Band continues to play with passion and great energy
Lars nailing it, double bass was perfect!
Man they sound phenomenal 🤘🏻
Robert looks like he's having so much fun playing with his hero's !
Well he’s making that easy $ lol
I mean he’s been with them for 20 years… longer than any other bassist so he’s just as much part of the band now.

Just buy the cd put it in for a month,guarantee it sounds different from the first time,METALLICA!🔥🔥
Disposable Heros. One of my favorite songs by any band.
"Heroes"
Lars sounded really solid! On point for all of those stop chokes.
Stop chokes were good, but he's still struggling with staying in time...
@@PapiSnaz
No he isn't - you're just obviously used to modern metal bands that have robotic time-aligned drums.
I've always liked Lars' non-perfection. Really humanizes the band, always has.
James sounds incredible, and he's 60 years old! Him and Kiedis both are vampires.
1:40 - James "Downpick" Hetfield makes it _very_ obvious for everyone, that he CAN upstroke as well
😂
He usually upstrokes on 16th notes.
