Brual SOngs, And Newsted was fantastic MetallicA = God
First I have seen of this. Well deserved, but tell me if CLIFF BURTON was honored in this…. PLEASE OR PLEASE…. CLIFF was key to what we love about the classic years of Metallica.
Actually that’s the first thing they did–had Cliff’s dad come up and accept on his behalf.
Glad to hear Cliff was as much part of the group as any of the other members.
Metallica sounds good except for the vocals… You notice James turning his head most of the parts he’s going off pitch to cover up… Wonder what’s wrong?… Age, maybe… But nevertheless, they are as kick arse as ever…
… U rule, Metallica… \m/
Most definitely he was cracking a little… such is life, didn’t take much away from the performance for me–never again are we going to see Newstead with the band.
James actually blew out his voice box during the touring supporting the Black Album. What I’ve noticed is that since then live the highest pitch vocals have to be falsettoed (always was the case anyway) but when in the midst of touring it wears on his voice as it does for any singer singing higher pitched stuff on tour.
