âToo Far Gone?â
Video Directed by Coan âBuddyâ Nichols Live Now
Today marks the release of âToo Far Gone? (Live from MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ â August 6, 2023),â a digital single capturing the debut M72 tour performance of the 72 Seasons standout track as played for some 80,000 fans on night two of the tourâs North American opening weekend. Hailed for âits roaring melodyâ by the OC Register in their review of Metallicaâs recent record-breaking weekend at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, âToo Far Gone?â has quickly become a staple of the M72 No Repeat Weekend setlist rotation. Find out for yourself why the song has quickly become a fan favorite by giving âToo Far Gone? (Live from MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ â August 6, 2023)â a listen HERE.
As for the original studio version of âToo Far Gone?â⦠it’s been reimagined as a music video directed by Coan âBuddyâ Nichols (The Original Skateboarder, The Body Corporate, Deathbowl to Downtown, Love Letters to Skateboarding). Through Nicholsâ lens, âToo Far Gone?â becomes the score to raw Metallica performance footage intercut with action shots of pro skater Felipe Nunes. The energy levels of the two scenarios feed off one other, resulting in peak after peak of hyperkinetic intensityâplus a blink-and-youâll-miss-it cameo from Tony Hawk, who premiered the video yesterday at: https://youtu.be/T-6Cx-VxXxI
