Metallica: Fade to Black (Lincoln, NE - September 6, 2018)

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

One of the most depressing yet beautiful songs we can ever hear in metal history. Simply perfect!

Kirks intro solo blows my mind all the time on this live performance, the tone is so beautiful and he nails it

Yes, this song literally saved me. Not only this song. ALL of Metallica's music is like medicine. Music, members of Metallica. It is thanks to you that I am still here and it is good. Thank you Metallica.

Im 11 and all I want to do is go to a Metallica concert before they stop performing. You guys are legends.

How to bring a 47 year old man to tears.... Thankyou

Imagine saying .."Simply nothing more to give." While giving one of the greatest songs of all time

I honestly don't understand how people say this performance isn't one of if not the best of this song. Personally this is my favorite performance for Fade to Black because you can feel a lot more emotion in James' voice from 4:15-5:30 especially that "goodbyeeeee" at 5:15 is just so good. With James on top of Kirk and Lars killing it this just takes the cake. I don't know what else to say I just know this is a performance you can feel through the video.

James had to re-enter rehab recently. Fight strong, James. You did it once, you can do it again.

This is the best Fade To Black performance, change my mind. Kirk nailed every solo perfectly

Man, James has grown so much in his vocal abilities over the years! SO inspiring to see these guys still jammin and getting better!

5:13 Gwen James says goodbye while transitioning to the next riff was just so compelling, like for on an emotional level for some reason. Could be this song just sounds and was put together this immaculately. Definitely a 100/10

I kinda feel Metallica have mastered the art of giving perfect Fade to Black performances!

Doctor : you have 5 minutes to live Me : put fade to black Doctor: but it has 8 minutes God: I can wait

This song got me through one of my darkest depressions. Boyfriend broke up with me. I was pregnant, in the USN, and stationed in Spain. Lost the baby. I was already depressed ( had depression since a teen, still have it, will always have it). Once I lost the baby, I spiraled out of control. Was a size 3, I had to wear sweatpants under my uniform so they’d fit. Tried to take my life. Didn’t take enough pills, woke up the next morning. From there I kinda put myself back together. The part of the song “miss one inside me”. To me that was my baby. To those who read this. Thank You. Never been able to tell the whole story to anyone. Thanks. 💫❤️💫❤️💫❤️💫. 🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞

At 3:33, I just can't, man... My whole body shivers from that part. Goosebumps throughout the whole song. I have no idea how else can you finesse the hell out of this track. Damn, what a performance!

Has anyone else noticed his singing is significantly better?

My father passed away in August 2018. This was performed the following month. A fitting song for how I felt at that time.

I just lost my 1 yr old yesterday... we always jammed to this song and it judt breaks my heart

Kirk is amazing, but Lars absolutely takes it to the next level with that pounding beat in the solo. Incredible. Love how they gathered around him for support lol.
