Looking back on it, it was pretty obvious actually. They had already started a full media campaign with all kinds of promotional stuff a good 9-12 months before the album dropped. These guys were doing talk-show tours and new merchandising deals for months before Lux Eterna was released as the first single. They just didn’t talk about new material and made sure that nobody else did either. They are Metallica after all - if there’s one band that knows business and marketing, it’s these guys.
That was Lars’ brain in action for sure. He’s made really good moves for the band. To keep them relevant but not trying too hard. He’s a great engineer in the studio too.
@@morbidmanmusic I know - it really sucks that he's an imperfect human musician and not a robot or a drum machine. Imagine musicians getting amped up playing for a big crowd and playing a little fast live- that's just completely unacceptable!

I am 45 years old. For about 30 years I've been listening to heavy metal and its subgenres. It's impressive. Nothing, absolutely nothing that was recorded or that is recorded surpasses: "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "... and justice for all". They are eternal albums. In 100 years when they talk about heavy metal, I'm sure these 3 albums will be cited as a reference. Metallica is the greatest metal band in history.
Man, I really hope they make a bluray release for this tour, like the Quebec Magenetic or Francais Pour Une Nuit videos. These shows look like SO much fun
Metallica makes me emotional for some reason. I always knew who they were, knew some songs, but the way I've become so obsessed these last few months, got tickets to their show in LA, went to the album screening. I even saw Blackened whisky in a store this weekend and bought it... I feel captured by their intensity at this stage in their career.
Despite all the comments about how this song is lame or how they are going back to the same old habits - Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is totally cool - But to still have Metallica in 2023 performing at this level is absolutely a gift and we should just enjoy the ride for however long it remains...Simply, thank you Metallica...
Saw them perform this song for the very first time live back in December for the AWMH concert. What a show! Can’t wait to see them later this year!! 🤟🏽
The intro is really cool. It's like a monster's voice versus the band's riffs and drum beat. And when the song takes over, the monster gets the boot in its ass!
The band, bravo. Boys, you sound great for your mileage. Lars, this is your best drumming ever. I keep quiet and watch everything all the way back to the 80's. This is tight. You have worked on this and deserve the praise.

Theyre so damn good and so is the latest album as well.... In fact ill call it the yellow album because the mixing is so balanced and it really has that kind of vibe that you really want to listen through the whole thing once youve started it.
Lux Aeterna is possibly one of the greatest Pop songs ever written, and I mean that as a compliment. Fast, aggressive, chaotic... perfect for the early 21st Century. Sidenote: I absolutely love the electronic song intros. I want to hear more of these.
I was there and it was absolutely unbelievable!!!! Lux was definitely one of the highlights. It sounded phenomenal and no video could do the experience justice. Best weekend of my life. I've never headbanged as hard as during those two shows.🤘 p.s. For those wondering about the mic issues in the video: I think it's an editing issue since I don't recall that happening during the concert. We could hear James really well and he sounded phenomenal!!!
What a brilliant performance of yet another brilliant Metallica song off of this, yet another brilliant Metallica album. I really hope you guys bring this tour to Australia. I can't wait to see you guys live again. The videos look amazing. Every song on this album is absolute brilliance. Metallica...Number 1...Hell Yeah...\m/👊
I can't be the only one who smashes the like button even before I watch the live videos^^ The boys are creating such great content in amazing qualitiy for free. That itself is worth a like 👍
LOVE THE NEW ALBUM!!! FRICKIN EPIC, age is but a number, playing like it was the 80's. Cant wait to see you @ Ford Field in Detroit, hope to hear Shadows Follow and Inamorata!!!
Was there,i think pretty much close to the camera in the first setting, 2nd night and of course the first were pure magic! Fav. song of the album with Sleepwalk (my life away) 😌🤘
With interval 1-2 weeks from city to another i think this is the best schedule for metallica..not really rush like the old days when they play every 2 days or a days in every different city..
Using that as the first _72 Seasons_ single, as well as releasing it without even telling anybody to expect it, was such a great call.
We all got surprised. even the band was surprised when they heard the single

I loved it, the last two albums(dm and hwtsd) were hyped up and teased for years. No teasing this time around, just Metallica kicking ass
Apparently, James wanted to name the album _Lux Æterna,_ but got outvoted. That's why it's yellow.
That was Lars’ brain in action for sure. He’s made really good moves for the band. To keep them relevant but not trying too hard. He’s a great engineer in the studio too.
Even if the mic acts up, crowd can sing for James
it's not the mic. something must've gone wrong with the editing.
@@creamwobbly LMAO if you watch videos taken by people in the audience you'll see that the mic is fine.

I was there!! I flew from Ireland to Hamburg to see them. First Metallica concert ever - loved it so much! ❤
I was there, too. My first concert in a age of 52. The show, the Performance, the Band was awesome. I was happy to be there 🙃😊
🤘🤘🤘🤘🥂🍾🇵🇹
I went from the UK - I couldn't make Download so Hamburg it was!
Yeah 🤘 🇮🇪🇩🇪
I was there too!
I was there and the amount of energy coming from Metallica was insane, at this rate they’ll still be playing when there 80

I love how the first shot is of LArs playing the double kick. Like, "Here is proof I'm doing it everybody!!"
And still dragging and rushing.

@@morbidmanmusic for the final father fucking time, lars ulrich is not a horrible drummer!
Lets appreciate the drumming for a moment. What a performance by Lars! 🤘🤘
Very solid drumming lml
True for the entire tour - as well as the summer festivals last years. Fully enjoying this and very gratefull for it!!
Yes! Lars has been amazing on this tour and especially on the album! 🤘🏻
Should we be impressed cause he’s finaly giving an effort though 🤔
You mean the same samey stock drum parts he always plays because he can’t play anything else ?? He’s terrible
Whenever the mic acts up, it reminds me that THESE GUYS DON’T PLAY WITH A TRACK HIDING THEIR MISTAKES. THEY SOUND SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
Is it just that kind of mic? Sure it looks cool, but if they act up so much, why bother? Could be the cabling system that was shoddy.
Full speed or nothin', full speed or nothin'.... Love the energy in Lux Æterna... Good vibes🤘
That’s why it’s my favorite from the album
Motor breath
I really like these extended intros they have been doing. I think it hypes the crowd up even more
It also gives Lars time to rest between songs.
2:44 sometimes mic breaking isn't a bad thing, was kinda cool hearing the 2nd voice clearly there
The weird thing ist, that only the recording is broke. Live there wasn't this issue

Love this song. James sings amazing 🤘
So awesome that they didn't post-edit the vocals. That's the magic of live performance, the energy and the feedback from the crowd.
This is damn Metallica, they don't need such shenanigans to shine...
Man, I really hope they make a bluray release for this tour, like the Quebec Magenetic or Francais Pour Une Nuit videos. These shows look like SO much fun
They're live streaming a show soon

And eating up every Metallica doc you can find, too.
I get it!! 👊🤘
I know that feeling, enjoy it brother!
Damn! Lars is tearing it up!
They play and sing this live with impressive precision, it's fun to watch.. Metallica is the Best
That crowd singing LUX AETERNA !!.. so good
that was me :) .. all the way.. couldnt talk for 5 days XD
I like that kirk impovises on his solo everytime
I love the eerie sounds they use as an intro, creating a great atmosphere for the song!
The live version gives me a new respect for this song.

Same here!!! 🔥🤘
The fact they are still going crazy at their 60s says that they do what they do for love
I can see this song as being an entering point to Metallica riffs for guitar players of this generation.
The intro is really cool. It's like a monster's voice versus the band's riffs and drum beat. And when the song takes over, the monster gets the boot in its ass!
damn lars killing it!!!
Love Rob's bass 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
They are not playing near me but I will be going to their movie theater streaming event. Can't wait.

In the truest sense, as in 'popular'. Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, no messing about.

Love this song so much!!
That was really an epic show! Great setlist and sound! The video is good, but live it was even better!

Damn Lars.. he went back to his 80's drumming. Love & respect to him.. still my inspiration no.1
He is KILLING his drum sets at this tour, his performances are being insane lately

This song needs to be played once it's dark outside.

What a banger! Please come back to Portugal very soon.
Amazing performance here honestly from Buena Park CA USA they never fail 2 disappoint!!!!! No matter what!!!;. Go Tallica Go!!! Yes!!!!;
