    I waited 12 YEARS to see metallica near me, and saw them for the 1st time in Porto Alegre exactly 1 week ago.
    Seeing James starting Master of P. just a few meters from me is unbeatable. No concert will ever come close to this, they played No Remorse and Blackened too. What a day.

    Agree, man. I would also add his vocals to that list - specifically the super raspy 80s/early 90s "yelling near key" as he described it, haha. He absolutely perfected that style of singing, bridging the aggression the hardcore metal fans loved with the melodic accessibility that also made them so appealing to the mainstream listener.

    James and Kirk (obviously predominantly James) basically taught me, though inadvertently, to play guitar. He is also, like you, one of my favorite guitarists to this day. Sure, I also love Satriani, Vai, Petrucci, Gilbert, and the might Jeff Loomis (including Dimebag and many others), but James, and Metallica as a whole, will always hold a cherished place in my heart!

  • @thespuditron9387
    @thespuditron9387 Před 2 lety +16

    Kirk is an amazing player for sure. His solos are technically brilliant and nobody can deny that. But when James plays a solo, it comes straight from his soul and that makes a huge difference.
    James is, by far, my favourite musician of all time. That man oozes absolute class and stage presence.

  • @donniegraybeard9620

    I absolutely agree. I watched the VH1 documentary on Metallica and his interview where he talked about just picking while in a conversation on the phone and he instantly knew what he accidently stumbled across. So much so he told his caller he had to go, and then right away began producing what is now know as one of the arguably best songs in pre-2000s rock history. I started playing because of Hetfield and my first guitar was the Epiphone Explorer. Worst guitar ever to play seated but best silhouette ever and it made you look cool, because Hetfield was cool.

It's impossible to downpick those at album speed let alone their live speed ecsp from the 80s. I find that quite silly the number of people who seem to actually think that lol.

    well i aggree on most of the stuff but now; personal opinion:
    the best albums are ajfo, master, parts of ride the lightning, parts of load/reload, parts of black, hardwired in this order.
    ik i just made a lot of ppl angry, but these are the albums with the most creative riffs that are still underrated and a banger. Nothing else matters doesnt feel like a metallica song really. Aaaand its not creative and boring tbh. Dont get me wrong but the solo isnt great either. James plays a very cool solo in Orion for example, idk if he wrote it tho. but the master of puppets solo (first one) is the same thing like nothing else matters, its just not that creative. Orion and damage are underrated, change my mind.
