One other fun fact is that Metallica is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the only band to ever play on all 7 continents and not only that, they did it all within a year.
@@SaverioP Please don't ever just believe what you're told. Do your own research, always. But anyway, when you do look it up, then feel free to say thanks. Although it is not necessary. 🍻
This was a monumental concert! There were roughly 1.6 million fans there, just imagine what the band was thinking when they saw so many people! Great reaction as always, you seem to have a very diverse interest in music, that’s the way I’ve always been, genre doesn’t matter to me, if I like it then that’s it very simple! If I don’t like it I don’t watch it again. Just as a reminder, The Warning have done 2 versions of this, 2014 and 2021, the latest one a rearranged version! 🌹
1989 soviet ended , this is the first ever concert happened there after the Berlin Wall and the last one , army just keeped them in check , my dad and few other Indians attended this concert with him .
It was the first big event behind the iron curtain. The name was Monsters of Rock and had other big bands included also. The 1.6 is widely debated but most acknowledges that it was around that number for the whole event.
This was NOT a free concert. It was the Monsters of Rock tour and it was AFTER the fall of the soviet union, yes in 91. Half a million tickets were sold some were counterfeit, but they estimate somewhere between one million and one and a half million people showed up. It was at the recenctly closed military airfield.
This was the annual Monsters of Rock 1991, held at Tushino Airfield. 1.6 million people attended, the sixth largest concert crowd in history (YES, there's bigger - Rod Stewart, New Years Eve at Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janiero, Brazil, over 3.5 million people) Metallica was joined by AC/DC, The Black Crowes, Pantera, Motley Crue, and Queenryche.
The video ends that abrubtly, because in the full concert film ("For Those About to Rock: Monsters in Moscow", if interested), they continue straight into the next song, there was no conventional drum-based full stop.
I wasn't at the concert but I was at the US Embassy 3 miles away... Still registered 91db. Just an FYI, those structures out in the crowd are actually speaker towers and the following day, local clinics reported over 250k cases of hearing loss. 😁👍
"In September 1991, Metallica headlined the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow, marking one of the biggest concerts to ever take place, with a huge 1.6 million attendees. The record-breaking crowds that day are thought to have only been seen on four other occasions, with Jean-Michel Jarre topping the leaderboard in 1997 with a concert that was funnily enough hosted in Moscow and saw crowds of over 3 million.0 The event was part of the Monsters of Rock series, which featured live performances by rock and heavy metal bands AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Pantera, and E.S.T. The event attracted a crowd of more than 500,000 people, making it the largest rock concert in the history of both the USSR and the Russian Federation.1"
It was the first time a metal concert was allowed in Russia. 1.3-3 million people attended. After 1.3 million people they stopped counting and just let people in. 55 deaths and by God I wish I was there
So cool. They came to my small hometown back in those days. A guy won a nationwide contest to have them come play a private concert for him and his family/friends at a local bar. They were so cool. Came in his apartment and had a beer with him. Truck load of prizes. PS: bummer...I was not a friend or family.
Your smile is a beautiful sight to behold. It resembles a fantastic sunrise, reminding us of the blessing of being alive for another day. Alternatively, it could represent a bright morning, signifying the relief of having survived a difficult night. Both interpretations are equally perfect. Your beautiful smile exudes positivity and hope.
While the USSR's Western music ban was in effect, LP albums were smuggled in and copied onto discarded x-ray film from hospitals... to sell on the black market. So some of the folks there that day were hearing familiar tunes but with much better fidelity.
Just imagine the adrenaline rush it would have to be when you are looking out over that crowd from the stage and you see that many people going out of their minds because of YOU! I would imagine that there is not a drug in the world that could compare to that feeling.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🖤🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ... yes , yes , yes , yesssss !!¡ Metallica & Maddy .. I knew you would be in awe. I was fortunate enough to see them live , but , it was nothing like this mammoth crowd. Keep on rockin' .. Keep bringing the great tunes. Love it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🖤🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jimi Hendrix was a huge inspiration for basically every single metal guitarist up until this point. Kirk Hammet, the guitarist for Metallica, always said Hendrix was his biggest inspiration and plays a lot like him for sure. Sounds a lot like the blues genre at times too which Hendrix himself, as well as the rock genre is general, took a lot of inspiration from.
Kirk is also using a wahwah pedal in this - and in general - his solos, more often than other metal guitarists, and wahwah was one of the trademarks of Hendrix. That might further add to the "Hendrix feel".
Good catch on the Jimmy Hendrix vibes for the guitar solo. He was using a Wah pedal for this solo which is an effect Jimmy used to use, most famously on Voodoo Chile and it has that iconic “wah wah” or crybaby sound. Another amazing example would be Zakk Wilde’s solo on Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘No More Tears’. Maybe worth a reaction sometime?
This was there second time in Russia.First. One was 1989. When they were there with Skd Row, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Scorpions and the headliner that year Bon Jovi.
Rule number one. You DO NOT PAUSE in the middle of a guitar break, drum solo, or any continuous run with a flow for that matter. You can pause in between segments, but not in the middle of it! Flow, flow flow! Better rhythm for your reaction too! And minimal viewer frustration who actually want to follow you !! Thank you for reacting to it. subscribed!
Лично я не люблю тяжелый рок, поэтому не был на этом концерте. Но много о нем слышал. Совсем недавно рухнул "железный занавес" и в Россию стали приезжать многие Западные звезды. Эта группа была чуть ли не одной из первых. И на концерте присутствовало более миллиона человек!!! Именно поэтому лидер группы запомнил это свое выступление (о чем он в своих интервью много раз говорил)...
Even your FAVORITE song played on repeat for a week straight no breaks with headphones you cannot take off and you too will go insane.... The also used songs like Barney's "I Love You".
This crowd is massive!!!. Even the soldiers get into it. Watch for the small explosion in the back. One weekend I played this video for my children. Lydia my youngest girl said hey Dad. She was doing the hair spin thing like the bass player. These days, Lars the drummer's hair is much shorter...... Take care and keep them coming please!!!!!
They are legendary! This is an iconic performance and they are still rocking to this day like nothing has changed. If you get a chance go see them live! For years I have missed out on seeing them live until recently where I saw them at a festival for 2 nights. Just incredible.
I simply cannot imagine how they must have felt, would have definitely been terrifying. I get nervous playing in front of a couple of family members sometimes...
Creeping Death from the same concert 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….James Hetfield vocals/ rhythm guitar, Lars Ulrich drums, Kirk Hammett lead guitar and ( at that time) Jason Newsted bass….Enter Sandman is about nightmares
I just saw this video, that concert was at a military base in Moscow, there was 1.6 million people at least supposedly they stopped counting at 1.6 million people so it could have been more, if you look closely at the audience you will see yellow rubber bracelets their wearing
It ends abruptly because they go right into the next, which is creeping death and you have to check that one out along with harvester of sorrow.. nice reaction
Metallica was my favorite metal band…….. but you should check out the group The Warning’s cover of enter sandman…….. Metallica asked them to do a cover for their Blacklist album and to change it up……. AND IT IS AWESOME!!!!!
This is Moscow 1991. This is 1.6 million people. No cell phones, no cgi, no freedom until this point. The Soviet Union had just crumbled and people were free. Legend has it that all these people jumping around to the beat measured on the Richter Scale and vibrations were felt for miles around. FYI - the choppers were there for security purposes and to circulate the air so people wouldn't pass out.
Вертолеты там были потому что все действие проходило на территории местечкового аэропорта, на котором базировалась малая авиация. Верталеты просто на время концерта немного подвинули по площади.
I would pass out if I walked on stage to see over a million people in the audience. Also I don't even wanna know what kind of mayhem it must have been trying to leave that concert with all the traffic and pedestrians all over the place.
From the black album onwards Kirk Hammitt (lead guitar) made a conscious decision to sound like jimi Hendrix, so you are right about your jimi Hendrix comment
This was the first western heavy metal rock band concert to be staged in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989…..and young Russians who had been forbidden to have access to this music under Communism……were ready to party…..1.6 million people showed up…..over 50 are said to have died.
faulse .... the biggest concert ever was metallica in 1991.... then came rod stewart in 1994 ( 4.5 M ) and jean michel jarre, a french electronic musician.... 3.5 M people in his free concert in moscow in 1997( wikipedia ) it has been the biggest, but for a few years only :)

That’s awesome
When did they play Antarctica?
@@SaverioP December 8, 2013 It was a 10 song set for a group of about 120 scientists. It was titled "Freeze 'Em All"
@@Prozak63
Whether that's true or not, it's a great answer, and I'll go with it.

I was one of the over 2 million people in attendance.
Metallica was one of many there. It was a night to remember.
I think it was 1.6 million people and something like 54 deaths
WOW
There were actually 0 deaths at this specific concert
@@MaddyReactionsyes it was the first consert after the iron curtain dropped. Soviet union collapse
@@ki5895Amazing true. There were over 50 injured but no deaths.
Estimation is they lost count around 2 million people and then all the people that didn't have a ticket. Probably over 2 million.
1.6 million people in one's hands. They & the other rock bands who played this concert KNEW they were huge! Thanks for your reaction.

WOW!
Rule number one when listening to Metallica: NEVER PAUSE DURING A GUITAR SOLO NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!
🙈😂
I would extend this rule to any and all music 😊
So annoying
Yeah we don't care if your house is on fire.
Amen to that..
I can’t imagine how Metallica felt performing for such a massive crowd. I would be terrified to be in the crowd.
Great reaction 😊
So true!!
Lars Ulrich, the drummer, was guesting a Conan O'Brien podcast not too long ago. He used the term "mind fXck".
1989 soviet ended , this is the first ever concert happened there after the Berlin Wall and the last one , army just keeped them in check , my dad and few other Indians attended this concert with him .
The energy is off the charts for this performance.
Agreed!!
And this is not large concert crowd. Rod Stewart hold the Guinness Book of World Records at 4.2 million.
Whoa! When / where was this?
"Is this CGI?" - 1991. Windows 95 hadn't come out yet. 😄
🤗😂
This was a free concert. That's why there were so many people there.

Metallica was joined by AC/DC, The Black Crowes, Pantera, Motley Crue, and Queenryche.
Crazy!!!
Motley Crue & Queensryche didn’t play this specific show, but they were on other tour dates in other countries.
The video ends that abrubtly, because in the full concert film ("For Those About to Rock: Monsters in Moscow", if interested), they continue straight into the next song, there was no conventional drum-based full stop.

Концерты рок и метал груп были и до этого, но такого масштаба нет. На этот концерт люди приезжали со всей нашей необьятной родины. Это было эпично.
So cool. They came to my small hometown back in those days. A guy won a nationwide contest to have them come play a private concert for him and his family/friends at a local bar. They were so cool. Came in his apartment and had a beer with him. Truck load of prizes.

Hendrix certainly influenced a lot of ROCK guitarists, not quite as many Metal guitarists, although still a fair few.
Fonds it!/ the other Worldrecord they have! Playing on All 5 Continents!❤

No CGI in 1991. That's ONE POINT SIX MILLION REAL PEOPLE.

It was 1,6 million people there. Check also Pantera - Dominition from that Moskva gig. This was the hugest ever in Russia
So crazy!!
I was there. Took me three weeks to get out of the parking lot after the show.😝
Lol 😂
I was not there but I did have the privilege of seeing Metallica twice in concert. 1992 and 1994. 1992 was with guns and roses also. Good times!
Awesome!! Bet those concerts were fun! I’m
No it’s not “CGI” they didn’t have CGI back then. It was real.
I saw them live right after the release of the black album. AWESOME performance.
Wasn't that Spinal Tap?

Try Harvester of Sorrow from the same concert(Moscow) and see that energy that not many younger bands don't have until these days
Great song choice to react maddy
⭐️💖⭐️
Me actually was in that crowd being lucky to see The Black Crowes, Metallica and later in the night my absolute favs AC-DC 🤘
Ooh cool!
Yup Marines we did a little ditty during that time period. It was insane!!!!!
Been waiting for more Metallica 🤘

That concert was in the USSR three months before its disappearance. Russia was a part of the USSR. The iron curtain was crumbling.
1.6 million was there
We metal-freaks are international !
🙂
The helicopters were spraying water to keep the crowd cool
Wow!
To stir up air as well extremely hard to breathe in a crowd that close
There's no cgi, only 100 % true real experience! \m/
Amazing!
I would pass out if I walked on stage to see over a million people in the audience. Also I don't even wanna know what kind of mayhem it must have been trying to leave that concert with all the traffic and pedestrians all over the place.
Right!!!
The concert was amazing! Just got back to my car.
Epic!❤❤❤
Agreed!
For those that have performed, you're familiar with the crowds energy. This must have been orgasmic
Give you some context this was the first western rock concert ever played in Russia
So amazing
If you're talking about the broader term of rock and roll.. the first full production shows in Russia were Billy Joel.. 6 shows in in 1987.
From the black album onwards Kirk Hammitt (lead guitar) made a conscious decision to sound like jimi Hendrix, so you are right about your jimi Hendrix comment
1.6 million and they were finally free to listen to anything they wanted to
This was Monsters of Rock, AC/DC were the Headliners of this concert
Enter Sandman is a lullaby.
America 🇺🇸 and the BATTLE JACK!!!!
1.6 million is the crowd number!!!
あなたが選ぶのは、俺の好きなビデオグリップばかりだよ。リアクションしてくれてすごく嬉しい。

This concert live in Moscow 1991 the crowds is 1.6milions people
Amazing
1.6 million in the crowd. Literally.
VA Tech football team has been using this for their intro for about 30 years.
I wish the team was half as good as the song.
Oooh
Thank you for reacting to one of the biggest bands.... Ever.
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction live in Argentina. Will give you chills.
52 people died here. The helicopter was apparently to keep the crowd cool. Lol wild. This still remains the biggest concert in the world.
WOW
Until now, the biggest concert ever : 1 million people !
Ooh
FREEDOM !!!!!!!
💖💖💖
Monsters of rock , 1.6 million in attendance

I feel so sorry for today's youth... they can't even believe their own eyes now.
This was the first western heavy metal rock band concert to be staged in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989…..and young Russians who had been forbidden to have access to this music under Communism……were ready to party…..1.6 million people showed up…..over 50 are said to have died.
Oh wow!
Yes great reaction

The video was definitely cut off
Right
There are people to this day people still trying to get out of the car park 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
From what I have heard that crowd was 1.6 million people 😊
Wow!
good choice :)

It was the biggest concert ever!!!!!

faulse .... the biggest concert ever was metallica in 1991.... then came rod stewart in 1994 ( 4.5 M ) and jean michel jarre, a french electronic musician.... 3.5 M people in his free concert in moscow in 1997( wikipedia )
it has been the biggest, but for a few years only :)
