Anything from live rare concerts or interviews and such. Is that stuff very hard to find, and if so are they expensive? I would like to see more hidden gems involving cliff, or even better, video footage of the recording of MOP in studio. To date no such video footage exists, but wouldn't it be cool if something like that surfaced?

Anyone knows why Lars changed his cymbals for the Sphere shows? Before he used to use those polished Zildjian cymbals at live shows but I noticed he now uses the K cymbals he used/uses in the studio. They look and sound like those fake cymbals used on televised performances (think Queen on Top of the Pops). Trying to find out why he made the change?

Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses! I figured out as much, but hoped there was a different answer rather than practicality. I love seeing Lars just crash cymbals during live shows (he hits them HARD) and the way the cymbals flap when he whacks them, and it doesn’t hit the same in the Sphere when the cymbals don’t move as much. Oh well!

​... but it's one of my faves, abso-fucking-lutely.

I'm listening to a lot of Bob Rock era Metallica records (again). I'm in love with Load! James' vocal performance is at another level in that record. His voice is so much more mature and expressive as compared to Master of Puppets or AJFA.

Even sonically, these records sound far better as compared to their older records. The sound is heavier and more polished.

Anyway, coming back to vocals, the late 90s were Hetfield's peak as a vocalist in my opinion.Songs like Bleeding me, Outlaw Torn, King Nothing, Memory Remains, Low Man's Lyric, Turn the page and whiskey in the Jar are absolutely fucking phenomenal. There's so much depth in those vocals.. I'm blown away.

And even the live versions are incredible, S&M has captured the vocals beautifully. Cunning stunts is great too.

People like to talk a lot about this era of Metallica, but rarely they acknowledg the vocal performance of James Hetfield during these times.

Load had 4 singles with music videos and promotional TV appearances and physical releases but ReLoad only had 3.

Even St Anger had 4 singles with music videos and physical releases.

What should the 4th single from ReLoad have been?

The Memory Remains, Fuel and The Unforgiven 2 were all hugely successful so a 4th single wasn't out of the question.

Maybe the answer is Better Than You as its the closest we got to a 4th single with it winning a Grammy and all but I can't see it being one of their major hits if it got the full promotion.

I think Devil's Dance could have been a good single, its already kind of a Metallica classic deep cut.

Maybe Low Man's Lyric could have performed well as a ballad like Nothing Else Matters.

Not seen this mentioned, but the LiveMetallica website seems to have been discontinued and it now goes straight to the Nugs site.

Been using LM for years and bought quite a lot over the years. I know they've been using Nugs as a sort of distributer for a while now, but it's a shame they've got rid of the site completely.

Anyone any experience with buying from Nugs directly? Presumably it works in the same way. I'd hope they don't stop selling individual shows and go to some sort of streaming model.

so far this is all I got down passably.

Enjoy 🎸🤘🏼

There are some music videos which thematically could have easily been used for another Metallica song.

For example, Until It Sleeps music video could have been made for Where The Wild Things Are instead.

Enter Sandman music video could have been made for All Nightmare Long instead.

Any examples you can think of?
