If Darkness Had A Son is one of my favorites from 72 Seasons, but Metallica just recently released a live version of this song (from their Paris concert 2 weeks ago) - I want to hear Room Of Mirrors, Shadows Follow and Inamorata live!

[sisselbakke]

I was bullied a lot growing up. I'm lonely today. Disabled. Metallica is my reason to live. Having these live videos to look forward to is everything to me. I am so grateful to have Metallica/MetallicaFamily in my life. song KICKS ASS...🤘🤘🤘

[jamesfarris]

Sounds even better live than the studio version!!

[RoggichIsGod]

Words cannot express the greatness of this band

[fihtah]

James’s stage presence is just something else. Aged like a fine wine. I remember watching cunning stunts bad seed jam and going what is this man. Watch him here in the shadows and slowly walks up to the mic. Oh man!

[rtgredtruck]

What a good song! I can’t wait to hear it live and sing “TEMPTATION”.

[Rageify]

So far, I think this one's my favorite song on the album. I can't stop listening to it!

[mot_wadd]

James' singing has always been a step ahead of other bands from the same era but go and watch a modern video of Axl Rose and you'll see how much better James has gotten - timeless voice and sounds incredible still.

[jberkhimer]

This is proof that the entire band playing at the same time sounds so much better than individual members laying down separate tracks and a master mixing afterwards. Record as as band, the vibe is just better.

[unforgivenii]

42 yrs Still going super strong! Greatest band of all time. A Proud fan forever

[MikeGTR]

Hetfield vocals kicking ass! Better than ever more controlled and relaxed sounding

[robbiepeterh]

I can’t believe it… but Metallica are just as vital as they were in every other decade of their incredible career.

[fadlyhans]

At that age and they are still doing it professionally and with conviction. It’s just perfection.

[el_nachos]

this dudes are on top of their game !!!!

[ariev]

Crazy how heavy this song performed live!!!

[thrash]

This album has grown on me like no other album… I’ll keep saying that this is PRIME METALLICA post the Justice-Black Album tours!

[chrisving]

Kirk’s solo makes so much more sense in this live setting! Amazing performance by all.

[Dasxol]

Idk why but the greeny Les Paul has such a unique sound that sounds beautiful in this song when performed live

[patrikdobradi]

I really hope Australia will be added to the tour, I want to see them play this along with so many others live

[Krubba]

Metallica always give fans such good treats... they are The true Kings. My fav band since 11 years old... Im now in my 40s and my love for this band is the same... thank you guys
