Me too man, I just cared about Lars using a ride. Though what I found out after was crazier. NO ONE EVER Told me that Lars always plays a ride cymbal every time they play Bleeding Me live. So he literally has one ready to use all the time. He just doesn't want it at his kit. I also wonder what Zildjian Ride he used here at this performance, it sounds very unique.

@ben1ben

2 жыл бұрын

​@@agrofindastation yeah Lars doesn't want the ride at his kit. Only for special occasions someone brings it up there. Trapped Under Ice as far as I know has originally no ride anyways. But even for songs where the ride is important like Disposable Heroes he doesn't have one, because there he would rather play a china. I think it depends on the sound of song they are playing, not even Lars could overuse a china for such a song like Fixxxer. I think for thrash songs that he had originally used a ride for, he uses a china instead. Just because Thrash and a china cymbal fit together so well (and of course because he doesn't like Ride cymbals). But really what Lars plays live with Disposable heroes is dogshit. The ride part from the studio version is just so sick and groovy. And he ruins it live.

​@@agrofindastation ah thanks for the info. But yeah I'm really curious onto what Ride he used for the Master of Puppets album and for this live performance of Fixxxer. About the ride from MoP there is only speculations but never an actual answer. its probably between a ping ride or a rock ride, but whenever Lars uses a ride it sounds so high pitched that I don't have a clue. I've searched and looked up so many rides now and nothing sounds close to what he used on Disposable Heroes.

As soon as the intro started, the guy sitting next to me totally lost it and was beside himself shouting uncontrolably in desbelief and amazement, it was a beautiful thing to witness. One thing I can say for myself is that I would love if the band played other songs from Load/Reload more often, they sound so rich, emotional and powerful live. This was the 11th time seeing them live andonly now had the chance to listen to anything from Load for the first time, which to me is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I really wish they included these gems to their setlists.

ReLoad was maybe a little more attitude, a little more bite. Both are great qualities. I like that they can write heartwrenching songs like Mama Said, Fixxxer, Bleeding Me, etc. but still break your face with Battery or Spit Out the Bone.

I've heard from a lot of pro singers that it's not so much the notes he has to hit, but rather keeping breath in your lungs for the long vocal melodies. The lines are unusually long and there's not a lot of time to take big breaths. Plus he's playing guitar to a song he's not used to playing, so he's focusing on multiple things at once. I don't blame him for straining here and there.

Those albums are solid as a concrete. , The songwriting and the lyrics are completely on point. But that can not as easily been said about the the recent ones.

I think there's a very good reason why they haven't played this until now. If you really take the time to read what they're saying here, and to Who, and considering when it was written, you will understand why this is the most special Metallica song of all time, and my favourite. When I saw James sing with his eyes closed it confirmed that this song is one of, if not the, deepest and most painful things they have ever done and I am filled with such joy to know that the questions James was asking here were finally resolved. It makes me believe that we can all be fixed again and fall in love with life again. Seeing Rob being able to be a part of this, and fulfilling his role is truly special. Kirk did a beautiful job on his parts and NAILED it. Lars, for all his business acumen tough exterior, being part of this was incredible as well. Being able to finally see this song played live was a dream come true, and made me feel more connected to this band than I never have before. I may not understand, but I understand. From the depths my heart, thank you gentlemen for finally giving this beautiful capturing of the soul the light of day it deserved.

I stayed up all night with my friends both nights to watch Metallica play, and I remember sobbing uncontrollably when it hit me that they were playing Fixxxer. This is my FAVORITE Metallica song, and even sick with Covid the boys still managed to make me smile. ♥️ I cannot wait to see them finally in 2024!

Thank you, Metallica! 40 years of doing it your way!

I like some growl in James' vocal parts! Maybe James thinks he fails, but for me it sounds so impressive, emotional and live! Thank you, James!

he needs to keep that ride for future shows. it can add to his kit and his play style, since he’s going for more of a simpler yet steadier play style in live shows now. in general the ride can be another option rather than him only slamming the china lmao

@@gavinduvall03 of course he needs to keep it. But he doesn't want to. That's why he only had the ride for this song, after they finished it a guy came and carried it backstage again. He absolutely needs the ride for example for Disposable Heroes, but he'd rather play dogshit with a china sadly.

​@@Danielguth1 Thorn Within PLEASE, James takes the solo on it

Imagine all of the preparation and practice that it took to get this song right to perform, after not playing it for so many years.

I always felt like this was Outlaw Torn 2: Fixxxer. "When all seems fine and I'm pain free, remind me of what left this outlaw torn." I love both of those songs. 'Might be my two favorite Metallica songs. Kudos to the band for playing this for the fans. Metallica deserves a lot of appreciation for this. Thank you for everything, Metallica!

Never made it to the radio, or TV. But this tune always made it to my cd player in my car everyday.

no sé cuantas veces deseé escuchar este temazo en directo....y Metallica me ha complacido!!!!!!....a disfrutarlo!!!!!!

We waited so fucking long. Even as we were denied for decades, the moment I heard the opening, I leapt to my feet, told my kids to shut up, and stood in thanks.

Kirks input to this song is amazing!! Always complimenting the whole song

I think they should try it again. Maybe James singing the chorus a fifth lower or the whole octave. Or maybe playing it in standard D. Either way, love you performed it!!!

At the beginning he also struggled with Atlas Rise, but subsequent performances he got better and better. So yea i totally agree. They shud keep trying. Theyll eventually nail a badass live performance of this.

Agreed, the vocal melodies seem a bit uncomfortably high in his upper range, and linger on and on up there.. Easy for vocal tension to build up and cut off your high notes, especially during a setlist like this. Bringing it down a couple half steps should do the trick. And that main riff would probably sound pretty wicked in a deeper key.

This band continues to fucking blow my mind.. Definitely has to be one of the hardest songs for James to perform, yet he still absolutely crushes it metallica style. I was so grateful to be able to hear that song live. And again tonight. WE LOVE YOU METALLICA!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

I was fortunate to be there in SF to hear this played live. The crowd was electric and when the beginning cords started on Fixxxer 🤯

From a suspicion, to hope, to disbelief, to sheer joy: to have been there to witness this was magical. I still come back from time to time.

I wish they'd play more off Load and Reload.

We need more live songs from Load and Reload. Such underrated albums that many we love.

Now idea how James plays that and sings at the same time. He’s truly gifted.

I am personally not a big fan of the load/reload era, but this performance is one of the biggest metallica moments ever. So many fans love this song and were hoping that they would one day play it live. They did a great job despite it being really hard vocally for James. Awesome!

I remember that I was crying when they played this live. I just loved it, im amazed by this guys everyday man! Btw the slide solo sounds soooo good!🤘🏻❤️

got chills when i heard the fixxer's intro for the first time. and it was the same way with this debut performance

This whole tune has a certain power to it that goes beyond the average Metallica tune. It's a masterpiece

I usually only listen to the first 5 albums, but as a fan of the early shit this a top 10 metallica song.

Cannot express how much I love this band!!!!

It took them 24 years to play Fixxxer live. Watching this happen live from my living room was a historic moment for myself as well.

Thank you guys for playing this song, even though you clearly don't like it...not sure why.

Easily my top 5 favorite of Metallica.

I was there for this, incredibly surprised up in the rafters. The crowd was somewhat mild (they were mild most of the night, night 2 was much more lively). James joked after that's why they don't play that song. But I was incredibly happy to see this live, especially after spending the last two years mostly away from people. Thanks Metallica.

James is doing leads and singing at the same time it’s seriously their best song

Seeing this song live is a dream come true with nearly 25 years in the making. You can tell Kirk was super into it too!

This performance is absolutely diamond! Been waiting ever since the Reload to hear a live performance of this godly piece! Finally @ 40th anniversary concert. This is excellent! Absolutely fantastic!

Watched these shows on Twitch, chat went nuts for this one.

That screen photo says it all. THEY DID PLAY IT! :D

Metallica finally playing Fixxxer live and Lars using a RIDE CYMBAL? I must be dreaming guys

Revisiting this song must be a strong feeling for them also, not just for the crowd. Beautiful

This song helped me through a really dark time, along with so many others by Metallica. Thank you for finally playin it live!

This is one of Metallica's best ever songs, how can you not love that intro - it's epic and the riffs and groove are just so cool.

20 years waiting

James struggling here for some reason, but he pulled through. Bless him.

Its a hard song to sing. Full power in relatively high chest voice notes. Belting up to G4 every verse

03:55 Voice change is unbelievable. James Hetfield's voice is like an ID or a signature, no one until now could sing like him. Metallica was my music when I was a kid, and when I became a man. Love you guys

history has been written ✍

Probably their most underrated song alongside outlaw torn.

Singing and playing the riff at the same time is hard af.

Goosebumps!!!!

40 years of Metallica.. Eternity of timeless legendary music 🤘🖤🤘
