Getting older but still killing it, even Lars has gotten his stuff together and sounds great.

This song is a work of art.

The fact that they can still play this song perfectly after all these years blows my mind!

Lars is a fucking madman this tour! I was just at the concert in ireland and he was killing it! In fact metallica are just on fire didn't miss a beat! Have we gone back in time?

Can we just give Lars and Kirk some credit here? They have been absolutely *KILLING IT* recently.

Aexoduz he isn’t weak. He’s human. He pushes himself to the limit for his fans, leaves his family for years at a time to hit the road and pours his soul into his music. Speaking as someone who has seen this disease wreck his family, it’s just that: a disease. Are you weak if you get cancer after going into remission? Weakness would be not seeking help. Weakness would be just walking away from friends and family. He isn’t weak. He’s strong. He’s willing to tell the WORLD that he has a problem and needs to deal treatment. You wouldn’t do that. Neither would I.
