It's one thing to let the crowd sing the lyrics but it's another when they sing along with the riffs in the song to. Nothing beats that.

If they put Fade to Black in it's spot the crowd couldn't take over the vocals for that as well? I honestly would have no problem with Nothing Else Matters if some regular rock band did it but it's Metallica and i don't wanna hear love songs from them.

oh cool .. u had a better crowd then.

one thing I also hate is the slot they've given for NEM. Number 14. Thats right after the fastest song of the set which is always at number 13. That kills the whole energy of the show dude! On December 17th they played Damage Inc and then NEM. On 18th Fight Fire and then NEM!! If you ask me, thats like telling the headbangers to stop their fuckin headbanging and shooing away all the moshers!! "NO. We don't want this in our show! So we'll play NEM!!'

Well, they gotta throw in their 2 most popular songs somehow.

Yea thats right too. I do understand. I usually don't bitch about any song or any setlist. And I see a LOT of bands. This is just about the only song I would ever complain about. But its ok.. the other great songs in the setlist easily outweigh one gay song.

that's my only complaint about this song. but other than that, all 3 times i have seen them the crowd sang along with james for the whole song. i like nothing else matters in the set, but it will never be fear of the dark

wat

I would click on the link but unfortunately I just can't bring myself to listen to the song anymore. Whenever i've seen them do it live I completely zone out and don't even pay attention to it.
