Lars is no guitar player. He doesn't speak guitar lingo, but through grunts, rough sign language, and body language, he manages to find a common language with everyone in the room. As shown in the other "Making of the X Album" DVDs, Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process. Very cool.
+Le Tigidou You’re wrong; it’s not off topic. Burn Blister uses guitar communication as an example but then says, “Lars is very hands-on throughout the entire process.” What right don’t I have to take “entire process” to mean the entire album making process? Lars sees the big picture; he often has the vision that the others don’t. That covers every aspect of the process including, as you say, “What’s good or bad on guitar.” Sorry, James’ and Kirk’s guitar playing ideas are subject to the greater Metallica vision which, as demonstrated in just about every Metallica documentary ever, Lars typically has a better grip on. Therefore, if Lars had abandoned that and just “focused more on his drumming”, then a major source of vision for the band would have been lost. That same vision which has caused them to be such a dominant force in metal music.
@@DM-rc4yuInamorata had to be the best song on the album but could you imagine if it was written back in ‘84 when Cliff was still alive doing crazy shit like in rtl and anesthesia
oh yeah? And exactly what was that? all I heard was a bunch of rambling mumbo jumbo and not one time did I hear anybody say oh yeah that's a great idea Lars
There’s like demos and stuff like that, small clips from those times but not full fledged ones like this, so missed out, but I guess they never thought the process would be so interesting to people
well to be fair, how this is produced is much different. It's very impersonal and doesn't involve their personal lives much at all, unlike the other documentary. They just didn't put it in the film.
Is that what you really wanna see?? I'm more concerned about their jamz and inspiration and what not anyway, getting into their super personal lives is kinda unnecessary, they should have room to just be their selves too and not always have the eye on them so can have a chance to be down to earth and not feel so much pressure to make the most baddest shite ever
@@mattlopez47 I mean this is all personal preference at this point, I didn't say SKOM was better it was just made differently. The group members chose to make the movie, it was their decision. The band was going through issues that had nothing to do with making the documentary.
This is where Lars really shines, in the studio. He might not be the best drummer out there, but damn, just look how much dedication he puts in the work that is done in the studio. He's definitely the machinery that keeps Metallica going,
The man drums his god damn ass off in the studio so we have something awesome to listen to in the car. Watch the making of the Hardwired song, he goes OFF!
22:04 is beautiful. He’s a perfectionist. Lars is a complete instinctual musician and he does it like nobody else. Limited theory knowledge but he makes up for it in craft. Legend
The way lars is in studio is everything lars soaked up like a sponge from cliff. Cliff introduced them to music theory. You may not need music theory to write good music but you sure do need it to write great songs that last generations
Robert's best attribute is that he is not a high maintenance prima donna. The band has two visionaries and two laid back guys. The Beatles needed Ringo. The Beatles could not have functioned with, say, Neil Peart.
This album got me through the hardest time in my life, my father was in the hospital 19 days and we didn't think he was going to make it.. Many hours were spent in a hospital parking lot getting lost in these songs. Thank you Metallica so stoked to watch this!
Man James Hetfield really is a killer guitar player, and I know Kirk is the one who gets lots attention in that area being the lead guitarist, and rightfully deserved no doubt, but and the fact James can sing the way he does while playing material like that all at once is incredible...
Yeah James is actually a more well rounded player than Kirk. He does not get enough credit as sometimes called rythem guitar which he is much more than that obviously. One man's opinion. Love Kirk of course not insulting.

People hate on Lars, but without him Metallica would not be where they are today. After Cliffs death while James and Kirk were grieving he re-organized the band. He may not be the best guy, but he has an important role.
Yep, he is the guy that people will always hate and make fun of, but he is the smartest one in the band. When Cliff passed away, James just slowly turned into a mess until he got himself sober and deal with grieves. Without Lars, the band would probably died with Cliff, but don't think Cliff would want that. I love the friendships between James Cliff Lars Kirk; they are the real four horsemen. And I hate when so called fans bash on any of them especially Lars, who is the only extrovert one; outspoken but he speaks what he thinks, and that is admirable.
wrappedupinemotion It's incredible that people always have to talk badly about Larsˋ's drumming abilities and skills. First, it was Lars who founded Metallica. And Lars has given Metallica the sound Metallica should have and he is a fantastic song writer. He became known as a pioneer in fast thrash metal drum beats and later known through his popularity and drum technique (the double-major drum beat in song One) and many do not respect him today as a good drummer because the way he plays as he was very popular in the 80's you don't play that much anymore. Without Lars, no Metallica and I'm pretty sure he smiles and laughs all the way down the bank compared to certain others
Lars Ulrich has a lot of charisma he is funny and smart imo. I remember where his son yelled hey dad in a Danish accent I also would be scared shitless.

I remember the day I got this album back in August '08... I rushed out to buy it as soon as it hit the shelves and I got a huge DM poster too! I closed my room door and played it from start to finish LOUD!! Wow... I was rocking out to it and it blew me away :D
You don´t know what Spotify is?? I can listen to 3 different albums, who are mixed with a quite comfortable and normal volume, but when DM comes on, it´s so god damn loud. It´s really annoying -.-
yeah i know that feel bro when i listen to my metallica playlist and i forget to turn down the volume before a dm songs starts , i have a hard time haha but the songs are great though i personnally think its one of the best album they made or THE best after the shit they gave us with bob rock
***** Yeah, I agree bro. The riffs are so heavy, and the solo´s are different, but fits so good into the song. Lars´ drumming is great, but kinda disappointed that he rarely plays the double bass parts live :-/
The fact that Rob came up with the main riff for All Nightmare Long by just toying around and playing flamingo on a guitar while picking at it like a bass guitar just blows me the fuck away. Moreover because they weren't even trying to come up with something good, it just flowed so naturally. This is such artistic creative gold to witness, unbelievable.
He’s not picking at it like a bass, that’s how flamenco is played traditionally. Players usually keep their fingernails long to get an extra plucky sound.
This is probably my fav Met album. I see it as them taking all of their great philosophies from the past and making something new with them. I never get tired of these songs.
This is like one of the most hardest albums they've done... you can see the dedication from each member of the band.. they all contribute and give 10000000% of their energy and skills, and it resulted as Death Magnetic... Thank you for another thrash masterpiece, Metallica.
I love watching this because i used to be an engineer in Los Angeles, and this is what i used to do…. Make records. I worked at Sound City a lot - as an engineer & producer. I worked with Robert when he player bass on Infectious Grooves “Sarsipius Ark,” in the same room that the Black album was cut, and worked with Rick Rubin several times…. So watching this is so nostalgic. Those were the days.
My favorite part is around 30:50 when James is struggling to find the right arrangement for the song while Lars is right next to him ordering take-out lol
I love that they are still together, have worked hard to respect each other and hear each other. Lars clearly matured into the director/encourager that he is. Even asking James, 'what do you want the drums to be?', shows a vulnerability, and strength of character, through humility, that makes the whole thing work.
I discovered Metallica because I found an ipod in a local park. It had all of their albums as someone who didn't "grow up" with Metallica, in my opinion, this is their best album. DM followed by And justice for all. In that ipod I also discovered whom immediately became my favorite band of ALL TIME.... Iron Maiden. Prior to me finding that ipod, I had only know Iron Maiden by name. Thank you ipod!
@Gibbie Smalls Iron Maiden is also my favourite band and Metallica is a close second. I also got to see Iron Maiden live and that was an amazing experience.
I'm having a hard time realizing this is nearly 12 years ago. I tell you what though, watching MetallicA through all these years, Lars knows how to put things together.
It's so clear how integral Lars is to the band. A lot of the greatness of Metallica's compositions come from him. A great band has to be more than the sum of its parts. He seems to be the band's wild energy, in that he's not always precise, but he can take them places they wouldn't necessarily go. It's really sobering to watch this documentary and see the stark contrast to the bad place they were in documented on the hilariously depressing 'Some kind of monster'. (Side note: They deserve total respect for releasing some kind of monster, because that took balls!) Here they're a cohesive, creative mega force! And the result was their best album since their classic period. On fire with ideas and not a dud to be found.
I listened to this album while I was on duty in Great Lakes, it was on the radio all night long as a promotion or something. That weekend we went off base got some Metallica shirts and cruised downtown Chicago and elsewhere listening to the album and having a great time.
Even though firing Bob as producer was probably for the best, they should've kept him as an engineer. You can criticize his influence on the band, but he knew how to make the music sound crystal clear. I like the rawness of Kill 'Em All, the spaciousness of Ride The Lightning and MOP, and I honestly don't mind the flatness of AJFA, but the Black Album, Load and Reload have excellent tone and crystal clear layering. In my opinion, Death Magnetic is an excellent album but the engineering is sub-par and the mix is too loud.
+Ryan O'Toole just to make it clear , Bob was JUST the producer , Randy staub did the engineering from the black album (for example ) . and the guy who mastered the album is so wrong with the RMS levels , that's why the mix is loud .
***** That's what I was saying. While I like the sound of the first four records, the ones Bob produced have far better engineering than Death Magnetic.
I see why you think that but honestly, Spit Out The Bone blew me away when it came out and became an instant classic in my opinion. But I agree that Day is a classic, I feel like it’s sort of a sequel to One in spirit.
really cool seeing kirk do his warm up before recording 4:04 first thing my guitar teacher taught me down pick, up pick, and up and down pick for every note on the guitar forward and backward. from fret 1 to whatever your guitar goes to you do that every time you sit down to play to a metronome and you're muscles and hand eye co ordination are unstoppable. makes me wanna buy another electric I was never that fast and accurate tho XD
I really hope the song they were writing at 48:26-51:25 is still on tape and on their mind while working on this album. I FREAKING LOVE IT when Metallica blends flamenco and metal.
33:00 is probably my favorite part because you can see Lars’ music brain working and then the “AHA” moment just came to him it’s really fascinating to watch Update: 1:53:53 is also my favorite part because they’re having so much fun and laughing at simple funny guitar noises it’s so cute
@@WishMount apparently, that was an Eddie Van Halen flange box. Needless to say, that effect gave birth to the opening to one of Kirk's most badass solos ever.
I'm half way through this and I'm enjoying this so much. These guys sure picked the right bass player! Totally awesome observing the writing and recording process in such detail.
1:34:58 guitar sounds sooo good. see what i mean, people don't realize just how important Lars is to this band. 90% of what you hear is because of him, His production and creativity are second to none.
39:00 I love how they played the harmonies together I wish I did that when I was still recording in a band that really could make the harmonies have a much better feel!
Hugo Brömme I don't get it. If you hate Death Magnetic why are you watching the freaking video ? It doesn't make any sense, why would you watch something that you don't like ? It's stupid.
I watched the video to try to understand how they managed to fuck up the sound of the record before mastering as somehow stated by Ted Jensen himself (senior mastering engineer at Sterling Sound) who had to master an already brickwalled mix that has become a milestone in that sickening loudness war.
This is how true heavy metal rock stars make music metallic has been the music of my life my dad used to play it it when I was a young boy and now 34 I still jam to it daily.
For me Hetfield is the heart and soul of Metallica , he has come a long way as a guitar player also, great to see the versatility , thanks for the memories!
It's their band, they've brought me great joy, nobody can take anything away from them especially those first 4 albums. It's their band they can choose to put out what they want. As a fan I will always be thankful for the music they put out in the past. Only thing I'll say is that they don't seem like a metal band anymore, they are more of a hard rock/rock and roll band.
Really enjoy how Lars’ dad has a good input & is listened too & is critical/give praise when is needed. Really enjoy these videos of behind the scenes, wonder will they ever plan out a biopic after their world tour ends this year
This album is a damn masterpiece -- riffs, time signature, ferocity, melody -- it's all here. It's an extraordinary output of creativity. I can't believe I actually think this, but I think it's their best album ever -- and yes, I realize that will be a minority opinion. I bought master of puppets in high school, and I think this tops it song for song. As for the recording process, good lord, I'm not a sound engineer. I just turn the damn thing up and let it rock. It rocks.
I wouldn't say best ever I'd put it just behind their 3 epic albums from 84-88 then I'd put this and kill em all, black and 72 seasons around the same then hardwired then the loads then st anger. Just my .02. This album is the modern justice. It's great.
I think it's really such a great thing that metallica records and makes videos like this available for everyone in the world who wants to , to watch for free , very very few other bands out there have shown this level of appreciation towards their fans in this manor.
A wonderful document of a masterpiece album. Yeah, this album is great. I bought Puppets in 1986 as a 16-year-old, and really, I like this even better -- song for song.

Recording kirks rhythm parts lmao
Luis Rodríguez pretty sure they have done that in the past
@@patrickstephens956 yeah, at least in Master Of Puppets they did that
52:06 my favorite part of rob screaming had me dying
Everytime a DM song comes on in my spotify playlist, it fucking blows my headphones. It´s mixed to be so god damn loud -.-
dont know wtf spotify is but youre right it so loud !
You don´t know what Spotify is??
I can listen to 3 different albums, who are mixed with a quite comfortable and normal volume, but when DM comes on, it´s so god damn loud. It´s really annoying -.-
yeah i know that feel bro when i listen to my metallica playlist and i forget to turn down the volume before a dm songs starts , i have a hard time haha but the songs are great though i personnally think its one of the best album they made or THE best after the shit they gave us with bob rock
***** Yeah, I agree bro. The riffs are so heavy, and the solo´s are different, but fits so good into the song. Lars´ drumming is great, but kinda disappointed that he rarely plays the double bass parts live :-/
David Fuller I know, its sad but true :/
We can all think whatever we want to think about lars but you cant deny he cares about the band and he cares about the music
He cares so much he stopped playing most of the double parts live, he doesn't give a shit live...
Definitely their most underrated album
Damn! That solo at 42:54. One of Kirk's baddest leads. Awesome.
Death Magnetic is a Masterpiece. Pure Heavy Metal. Loud. Tight. Aggressive. Play it, over n over.
43:02 future ending to Hardwired solo :O
Gannon Smith if you notice, he also uses the same lick in Atlas, Rise! and Suicide and Redemption
actually sometimes his stuff are always similar
52:05 will NEVER not be funny.
windexfighter77 fuck you man fornpinting that out now I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 or watching it
Kong time! 🤣
"Never not"
That's a double negative. So basically you're saying it's funny.
David Gutierrez Rojas because he is
@@patrickstephens956 me to
Robert singing at 00:36:22 is always killing me!
He can't sing to save his life.
@@TheBoogie91listen to dream no more
Reminds me of Jack black singing tbh
The fact that Rob came up with the main riff for All Nightmare Long by just toying around and playing flamingo on a guitar while picking at it like a bass guitar just blows me the fuck away. Moreover because they weren't even trying to come up with something good, it just flowed so naturally. This is such artistic creative gold to witness, unbelievable.
He’s not picking at it like a bass, that’s how flamenco is played traditionally. Players usually keep their fingernails long to get an extra plucky sound.
People can chew me out if they want but Death Magnetic is an amazing album. To me it's as awesome as Ride The Lightning and ...And Justice For All.
Hold on... I can see liking this album, but saying it's as good as AJFA is a little hyperbolic.
yep totally agree. i love it. to be honest i play it more that lightning and Justice.
@@Snake_1969 Those albums are a little bit older and Lightning also sounds like that.
This is probably my fav Met album. I see it as them taking all of their great philosophies from the past and making something new with them. I never get tired of these songs.
I agree- best album from start to finish - all excellent songs!
This is like one of the most hardest albums they've done... you can see the dedication from each member of the band.. they all contribute and give 10000000% of their energy and skills, and it resulted as Death Magnetic...
Thank you for another thrash masterpiece, Metallica.
I love watching this because i used to be an engineer in Los Angeles, and this is what i used to do…. Make records. I worked at Sound City a lot - as an engineer & producer. I worked with Robert when he player bass on Infectious Grooves “Sarsipius Ark,” in the same room that the Black album was cut, and worked with Rick Rubin several times…. So watching this is so nostalgic. Those were the days.
49:00 Gotta love that tune he plays as Kirk walks in. Everytime Kirk goes on stage they need to play that :D
My favorite part is around 30:50 when James is struggling to find the right arrangement for the song while Lars is right next to him ordering take-out lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Sweet gig for Rick Rubin - he's never there!
Corey Taylor said the same thing during the making of Volume 3 Subliminal Verses
I love that they are still together, have worked hard to respect each other and hear each other. Lars clearly matured into the director/encourager that he is. Even asking James, 'what do you want the drums to be?', shows a vulnerability, and strength of character, through humility, that makes the whole thing work.
I love how James is explaining how he wants the guitars part done and Lars is stealing the scene by ordering appetizers.
the picture of lemmy on the door behind james at the very beginning of the video....breaks my heart...RIP LEMMY
Philip Gouldman you are a grown man heartbroken because of a poster?
@@DiosBajo Heartbroken for the loss of a personal hero.
Asshole
@@motorheadbanger90 amazing you replied after 5 years lol
still an amazing band.
Fully agree.
Exodus
I discovered Metallica because I found an ipod in a local park. It had all of their albums as someone who didn't "grow up" with Metallica, in my opinion, this is their best album. DM followed by And justice for all.
In that ipod I also discovered whom immediately became my favorite band of ALL TIME.... Iron Maiden. Prior to me finding that ipod, I had only know Iron Maiden by name.
Thank you ipod!
This is their third worst, idiot.
@Gibbie Smalls Iron Maiden is also my favourite band and Metallica is a close second. I also got to see Iron Maiden live and that was an amazing experience.
I'm having a hard time realizing this is nearly 12 years ago. I tell you what though, watching MetallicA through all these years, Lars knows how to put things together.
I´m amazed at the fact that Lars is some kind of musical director, he is into every single part of all songs.
nosy little guy
@@shred9475 Founder and CEO of Thrash Metal
He shouldn't be😮💨
Thats why their music sucks since master of puppets , my God , Lars shouldn't be acting like he's a producer
Lars should have brought in a drummer for this album.
Hetfield is a fucking downpicking machine.
Phil he is pretty much a human metronome
1:47 "lets rock" clean riffing starts
Impressed by how well Lars works as a producer and how talented Trujillo is as not only bass player but guitarist!
Trujillo can play some mean ass tunes that’s for sure.
I wouldn't take prod advice from Lars even if I was paid.
@@stofosaurusand that’s why you’ll never be anything
watching this to get excited for the new album
too
I hope they release a documentary for that as well. I've probably watched this more than I actually listened to the album.
They definitely will! You can already find a making of video for the writing of the new song Hardwired on youtube.
Hardwired? came out 2016??
20:00 I like Kirk's weird home solo better than the one on the album.
It's awesome.
Yeah it's so melodic
Its almost jazz rock in chromatics
It's so clear how integral Lars is to the band. A lot of the greatness of Metallica's compositions come from him. A great band has to be more than the sum of its parts. He seems to be the band's wild energy, in that he's not always precise, but he can take them places they wouldn't necessarily go. It's really sobering to watch this documentary and see the stark contrast to the bad place they were in documented on the hilariously depressing 'Some kind of monster'. (Side note: They deserve total respect for releasing some kind of monster, because that took balls!)
Here they're a cohesive, creative mega force! And the result was their best album since their classic period. On fire with ideas and not a dud to be found.
Rob must be living the dream right here......he just seems so happy playing bass or doing vocals
9:29 "skoo-bah-dee-boo" :D
Like-a-wee-a-boo-da-bang
... yeah! :v
48:47 "Skoo Dilli Doh BOW!"
Tracking vocals or practicing them is actually hard work....been doing it a year so far
Not really.
Roberto Trujillo is so bad ass at spanish guitar!!!!!!!!!
Willard Winkle neither are you, you’re nothing
@@ottogofast3882 Jesus Chirst dude it's just an opinion lmao
@Willard Winkle why man? If that just your opinion please explane.
@Date Mike haha, Bad-ass for sure! 😅👍
This is why Lars takes credit for all songs. This man does so much for the songs!
32:25 that man and that guitar are so iconic its so awesome to see him just chilling riffing on it all those years later
The solo Kirk is playing at 55:11 is pretty cool, it's nowhere on the album though
Sounds too similar to the ride the lightning solo.
I love all the production that goes on behind the music. Thats the true beauty. It's like seeing a girl without makeup. It's who they are.
Even though it's not my favorite album, I still love watching these guys make it.
I listened to this album while I was on duty in Great Lakes, it was on the radio all night long as a promotion or something. That weekend we went off base got some Metallica shirts and cruised downtown Chicago and elsewhere listening to the album and having a great time.
I wish they weren't so quickly dismissive of some of Kirk's riffs. I heard some pretty good stuff.
+Ceyda Charming they aren't metallica's most famous songs are writen by kirk
What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Metallica's most famous songs were written by Kirk or the opposite?
they were mostly written by kirk
like enter sandman creeping death
+iamananimal42 james wrote the 0 7 5 7 6 5 part and Kirk added the 0 3 2 3 etc. power chord tail part to it and the 0/7 6 5 part
Even though firing Bob as producer was probably for the best, they should've kept him as an engineer. You can criticize his influence on the band, but he knew how to make the music sound crystal clear. I like the rawness of Kill 'Em All, the spaciousness of Ride The Lightning and MOP, and I honestly don't mind the flatness of AJFA, but the Black Album, Load and Reload have excellent tone and crystal clear layering. In my opinion, Death Magnetic is an excellent album but the engineering is sub-par and the mix is too loud.
You're fuking right!!! I felt the same when I heard it the very first time.
+Ryan O'Toole just to make it clear , Bob was JUST the producer , Randy staub did the engineering from the black album (for example ) . and the guy who mastered the album is so wrong with the RMS levels , that's why the mix is loud .
***** Interesting, thanks for the info.
***** That's what I was saying. While I like the sound of the first four records, the ones Bob produced have far better engineering than Death Magnetic.
I don't understand it. Do you mean that some of their famous songs were written by Kirk, or the other way round?
The Day That Never Comes was, in my view, the last classic Metallica song, and one of their best ballads.
Absolutely agree
I see why you think that but honestly, Spit Out The Bone blew me away when it came out and became an instant classic in my opinion.
But I agree that Day is a classic, I feel like it’s sort of a sequel to One in spirit.
really cool seeing kirk do his warm up before recording 4:04 first thing my guitar teacher taught me down pick, up pick, and up and down pick for every note on the guitar forward and backward. from fret 1 to whatever your guitar goes to you do that every time you sit down to play to a metronome and you're muscles and hand eye co ordination are unstoppable. makes me wanna buy another electric I was never that fast and accurate tho XD
I really hope the song they were writing at 48:26-51:25 is still on tape and on their mind while working on this album. I FREAKING LOVE IT when Metallica blends flamenco and metal.
rob was kinda playing "the god that failed" on acoustic but it feels like nobody got it
00:05 Poster of Lemmy on the door... RIP
33:00 is probably my favorite part because you can see Lars’ music brain working and then the “AHA” moment just came to him it’s really fascinating to watch
Update: 1:53:53 is also my favorite part because they’re having so much fun and laughing at simple funny guitar noises it’s so cute
1:54:15 best moment ever in this album
greg Zik what’s that fkn pedal? Just a delay?
@@WishMount apparently, that was an Eddie Van Halen flange box. Needless to say, that effect gave birth to the opening to one of Kirk's most badass solos ever.
I'm half way through this and I'm enjoying this so much. These guys sure picked the right bass player! Totally awesome observing the writing and recording process in such detail.
1:34:58 guitar sounds sooo good. see what i mean, people don't realize just how important Lars is to this band. 90% of what you hear is because of him, His production and creativity are second to none.
52:09-...I laughed 5 min after I saw it..
39:00 I love how they played the harmonies together I wish I did that when I was still recording in a band that really could make the harmonies have a much better feel!
I think I'm actually more excited for the "Making Of" for Hardwired than the actual album itself.
too
I love Death Magnetic - great album!
Thanks for posting this making of! :)
What a great album. One of their best
My favorite album, it’s so underrated.
I like watching bands in the studio, I like the fact you see and hear it all come together. It's art.
People that hate Death Magnetic why are you even watching this video ? seriously it says it on the title the making of Death Magnetic !
I agree Death Magnetic kicks ass ! \m/
***** Me too
"People that hate Death Magnetic why are you even watching this video ?"
Because we can.
Hugo Brömme I don't get it. If you hate Death Magnetic why are you watching the freaking video ? It doesn't make any sense, why would you watch something that you don't like ? It's stupid.
I watched the video to try to understand how they managed to fuck up the sound of the record before mastering as somehow stated by Ted Jensen himself (senior mastering engineer at Sterling Sound) who had to master an already brickwalled mix that has become a milestone in that sickening loudness war.
This is how true heavy metal rock stars make music metallic has been the music of my life my dad used to play it it when I was a young boy and now 34 I still jam to it daily.
12:30 that bass thunder in the end of a lick? Love it!
14:26 God it would be amazing if they started that song like that.
agreed
I wonder how come there are never any songs like that. Where it starts out on a solo..I can’t think of any
@@swisscheeseplease97 No Remorse
Trapped under ice too
Mercyful Fate medley
For me Hetfield is the heart and soul of Metallica , he has come a long way as a guitar player also, great to see the versatility , thanks for the memories!
God is with you through all of your problems
18:45 THIS HAPPENS when Kirk contributes to the writing of the album. Look how happy they are after playing it... We need Kirk contributing.
If only he didn't lose his phone before recording Hardwired
Metallica has inspired decades of musicians. Including me. Like Beethoven, Metallica will never die. (In the perfect world)
It's their band, they've brought me great joy, nobody can take anything away from them especially those first 4 albums. It's their band they can choose to put out what they want. As a fan I will always be thankful for the music they put out in the past. Only thing I'll say is that they don't seem like a metal band anymore, they are more of a hard rock/rock and roll band.
Really enjoy how Lars’ dad has a good input & is listened too & is critical/give praise when is needed. Really enjoy these videos of behind the scenes, wonder will they ever plan out a biopic after their world tour ends this year
I don't understand why people are hating on this album, I thought it was great.
1:25:19 Lars' mouth. Priceless
Man how awesome and fun this would be . I really like watching studio work. What a fun job.
Two great songs on this album. All nightmare long and the day that never comes
This album is a damn masterpiece -- riffs, time signature, ferocity, melody -- it's all here. It's an extraordinary output of creativity. I can't believe I actually think this, but I think it's their best album ever -- and yes, I realize that will be a minority opinion. I bought master of puppets in high school, and I think this tops it song for song. As for the recording process, good lord, I'm not a sound engineer. I just turn the damn thing up and let it rock. It rocks.
Cringe
Lars, please re-login
I wouldn't say best ever I'd put it just behind their 3 epic albums from 84-88 then I'd put this and kill em all, black and 72 seasons around the same then hardwired then the loads then st anger. Just my .02. This album is the modern justice. It's great.
I love James. Its amazing that this guy keeps getting older but looks a lot younger in a way! :D
I think it's really such a great thing that metallica records and makes videos like this available for everyone in the world who wants to , to watch for free , very very few other bands out there have shown this level of appreciation towards their fans in this manor.
It was very interesting to see how metallica combines their masterpieces in the studio, the legendary band!!!
A wonderful document of a masterpiece album. Yeah, this album is great. I bought Puppets in 1986 as a 16-year-old, and really, I like this even better -- song for song.
