it's "you betcha" for sure because that one still sounds kinda cool and swaggery to me

Okay, actually laughing at loud at that smooth jazz version!

In high school my mate bought a single from St Anger (we didn't know any better OK) and on it there was a live version of an older track, I forget which one, but before it starts you hear Hetfield bellowing

YEAH

RIFF-AH

which always tickled me.

So that is my Other.

This thread is reminding me of the classic Metallica / Beatles mashups of a few years ago - "Got to Get You Trapped Under Ice" etc

some honorable mentions:

Load tour, the way he had such trouble hitting high notes on Master so he mashed the words together to get it over fast - "BLINDEDBUHME".

more of an eye-roller, "4 Horsemen" - 'time HAS TAKEN A SHIT ON YOU' ...tho I think he retired that one recently, thankfully.

"Bush of FI-YAH" - Creeping Death. not really an ad-lib but it's like he never sang it that way pre-1993 and now he's consistently done it that way for 20 years.

The "Disney version" of Slipknot's 'Wait and Bleed' in particular seriously tickles me!

I long suspected Jaymz yelled the extremely obvious "MASTERRRRRRRRRRRR" during the opening riff of the aforementioned tune to give a 'hint' to all of the bandwagon fans at the shows during the Black Album tour but I can't remember if actually did that then or if that came about on later tours.

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 04:33 (ten years ago)

"Leave Me The Fuck Alone" and it's not even close.

Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Wednesday, 21 January 2015 09:50 (ten years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

five years pass...

starting at 2:35, some of the weirdest vocal tics I've heard him do. probably due to being hoarse and having his voice cracking like hell throughout the song and getting fed up.

2:36 - is this him doing a British accent?
2:47 - makeyaREAAAAAAAAAAAL
4:49 - has he joined the Proclaimers?
4:53 - the way he says "nothing's fair" sounds like a Romeo Void song
5:07 - a repeat of 2:47
5:19 - now he's the dude from B-52s

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 23:43 (five years ago)

one year passes...

ABSOLUTELY!

Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Friday, 12 November 2021 16:49 (three years ago)

sometimes when he sings Enter Sandman, he sings "I fuck you in", which is fucked up since he's singing to a kid. or he used to, at least.

Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Friday, 12 November 2021 16:49 (three years ago)

used to say "Fuck you in", that is. he still sings to a kid.

Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Friday, 12 November 2021 16:49 (three years ago)

omg, on Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, Metallica!, which is a commercially available live show that Metallica sells on its own website (that I'm listening to rn), James starts the final verse of "Ride the Lightning" and promptly strokes out, singing...

"Judge killing cold
Schminutes feel like showers
Friendliness my only friend

death in the end
back in the electric ch-
I FORGOT THE FUCKING WORDS

Is this that crazy dream, or is it just a dream?

Flash before my eyes, now it's time to die
THERE YOU ARE!"
