Just saw this.

To do what James do on that clip they should better stay at home. What a shitty attitude.
Iīm starting to regret having to drive 900Km to see them at the end of the month.
This comment completely baffles me. I really don't see how any reasonable person could watch this vid and arrive at the conclusions that you did.
Edit: I don't want to come off as overly harsh, but it looks like James was giving it his all, and it sounded pretty rad to me. And yet you think that slightly flipping his microphone stand to the side is an indication of a "shitty attitude"? Jeez...
I was at that show (it must be the Hamburg show because of JRs headphones). I didn't see or feel a shitty attitude ... the audience was very satisfied. I remember I never saw JLB communicating that much with the audience ever before, he was very much into it, very intense. I could understand if someone who doesn't know the band and the song, just watching that video, might think JLB was in a bad mood, but he (as JP) has never been the happy smiling type on stage, and that's ok because that wouldn't fit DTs music and lyrics (imo).
I think he sang quite well in Hamburg, despite being ill. Reading some of the negative comments on youtube I just wonder what's the problem? The high note he screamed? (What's wong about that, it's a metal band!) His voice doesn't sound exactly like 25 years ago, that doesn't mean it's not as good, just different. It's the reaction of the live audience that matters anyway.
Nobody "has to"" drive 900 km to see the band...
