      His style seems very limited (I mean why do you think ppl troll him with "pentatonic" jokes), it works well for metallica no doubt.
      And yes I do play guitar, I am not even close to his level of skill but I think he can do better, his earlier stuff was very good, lately....idk not so much

No disrespect for Trujillo, but any song and backing vocals, mainly during live performances, just sounded better with Jason, IMHO.

    One of the best live performances of any band in any genre ever

    That "BE" at 5:32 is absolutely spine tingling 🤯

      The fact his whole body and voice shakes he put so much anger into it is downright scary I mean look at his eyes! He looks like an angry lion ready to kill!

    Hard to believe that this was almost 35 years ago! I discovered this gem playing Metallica's Guitar Hero! My buddy and I played this song over and over! It just "hits," you know?

    It's amazing 26 year old people are performing such a legendary concert. James owns the stage like a king (he still does) - this is what he's meant to be -, Jason having fun with his headbangs (I miss him too much), Kirk is doing solo... Don't need to mention what a great song this is.

    James 'Lion' Hetfield! Both a beast behind vocals and looks! Best Live Performer IMHO

    Metallica before you retire please bring Jason back for a world tour. Give him whatever money he wants and end it all right for us fans. Money is nothing for you all now. I'd love to see that
    show any fan who agrees please like this comment. Chicago in the house we love you\m/

      You know they will just have Rob up there playing bass with him right? Same way they did the 30th anniversary shows in 2011.
