My uncle Scott Dubois was on that tour with Metallica, he was the drummer for Warrior soul, how fucking awesome is that. He showed me pictures and told me stories about those days. Too bad I was only 12 years old and couldn't tag along
No do you not know Metallica history. James had severe burns in 92. That's why he had the mullet. He said himself it was cut all fucked up because it was all burned away
@@mysticdude7157 you're an idiot. His hair got burned off in Aug 1992 I'm the biggest Metallica fan in the world dude we can argue for days over this. Theres pics of him in the hospital in 1992 after the burns with fucked up hair
@@dirtymacdiesel he got burned in 92 but he got a mullet in late 93. Just watch the video where lars and james are in the studio working on the live shit binge and purge. And no one is the biggest fan
What a life these guys live! I cannot imagine how awesome it must be to have success, fame, money, women, etc! And to be able to play music in front of thousands of people! I know that there’s a lot of hard work and dedication involved and I appreciate that, but damn when you make it things really get awesome! Lucky...and hard work. I’m a good person but I can see myself getting s little ego and full of myself but I wouldn’t let it get too far and hopefully I’d check myself or someone else would.
@Eagle305Exactly. Depends on the person but, I feel like extensive touring is not good for someone’s health as is anything when there’s lack of balance.
Chris Stone hello again. I met my husband (boyfriend) @ the time when the black album came out. I loved it! He asked me if I liked Metallica. I told him that I had never heard their music until now. I had to backtrack. I love all of the albums. The Justice Album I love the most!!
18:43 Lars: Fourteen years ago we put this thing together... Kirk: ... to get laid! Lars: To get laid and do drugs. Jason: And it still hasn't worked. Lars: And fourteen years later I'm still a Danish virgin. LOL
masterpieces? really doubt about that. they are blues rock albums with alternative\country and few metal elements. I personally hate bluesy rock, i was really disappointed then
@@Nissardpertugiu Sure the very very early early days. Metal though has evolved light years away from that. And i m not talking about the modern metal bands that do not even use the pentatonic anymore. Even Metallica in the 80s had nothing to do with blues, other than pentatonic licks, and even those where used in a completely different way.
@@mehegama There s a lot of swing quality in Old Metallica The half time stuff in Four Horsemen, The snare fills very Budgie like or Keith moon in Justice by Lars , like shortest straw. Also very deep purple funky ride accent in the last chorus like stormbringer in Fight fire with fire . The black album track 6 , or my friend of mysery chorus and solo. Very reminiscent of Judas priest the Rage imo.
@@mehegama Guys like metallica grew up on Purple, Sabbath, Budgie, Thin Lizzy, Hendrix, Priest. If they want to infuse that in their music there s nothing wrong with that.
Everyone is like heyy that's James wife Francesca..right but who the heck is Jason with at 30:54?? Also love how the hickey count went up on James at 16:37 to 25:46
ya that was James wife, I met both of them at a Chicago Blackhawks game, They played 3 nights at Rosemont Horizon, I said to James, Hey man I was at all youre shows this weekend. He replied, Ya so was I!!! Funny shit!!
My favourite Era of them. I nearly died when James says "prepare for battle" then Jason says "prepare your heiny, for a fucking zap from the spank ray!" Lol
Naaah, I’ve seen him be far douchier. He was at a gig my band was playing, years ago-a fan of our band was there and wearing a Metallica t-shirt. He approached Lars nervously and asked if he would sign his shirt. Lars said ‘Will I? Or do I WANT TO?’ In a super annoyed voice. He then complained about being bothered by fans. Here’s an idea, douche-nozzle: if you don’t want to be bothered by Metallica fans, stay at the Four Seasons bar and drink-don’t come to the most popular rock bar in Toronto.
It took me til 2020 to actually LISTEN to Load and Reload..As a 20 yr old I hated it and avoided it.As a 45 yr old metal head,some of the songs are great..Fixxxer I think is great
@@hansjuh5588 But you cant rate it as a metal album because it isnt one. Therefore the whole "as a metal album its bad" comment is pointless. Its like saying ACDC is an awful metal band.
If I was in a band with Jason newstead I would have picked on him two. He seems like one of those guys who is fun to rip on yet you would do anything for him.
I remember listening to that Donnington live on Radio 1, and being completely and utterly underwhelmed by the new songs they played, and by the fact they seemed to have totally given in to their own egos and believing their own press. Just five years before this, Metallica was a total animal of a band.
What song is 18 minutes in? I used to have this album I believe it was either load or reload and it was a sweet fucking song? Is it called bad seed or something?
Lars was still playing really well.. Very tight , more laid back with a huge sound . But he could still do the fancy stuff , relaxed without the need to proove anything. Just play for the songs
***** Sure, the MUSIC is what counts, IF you're a SPECTATOR. However, on the other hand, if you're a FAN, music goes BEYOND the CD and becomes a LIFESTYLE, AS WELL AS A "FASHION STATEMENT."
"LIFESTYLE"? "FASHION STATEMENT"? Jesus. Fans ask so much of musicians. Isn't it enough that you have the freedom to critique their music since they are not rehashing "Master of Puppets" for the umpteenth time and that upsets you, yet you're still upset over the fact that they wanna change up their appearance? You metalheads are not a very open-minded bunch, are you? Would you have liked "Load" and "Reload" had they kept their hair long?
tangiers59 In my opinion, what have to understand is, since professional musicians ARE "public figures" and "make music for a living," it's US, the FANS, who spend OUR HARD EARNED MONEY to be ENTERTAINED, so, therefore, YES, we DO HAVE or RESERVE THE RIGHT to "scrutinize" what they do-(be it) OFF-stage and/or ON-stage. In my opinion, as far as "what they look like," (like or as I said earlier,) if a band plays or is gonna play ROCK/METAL music, they SHOULD have the LOOK to "match." As far as being "open-minded," we (metalheads) ARE "open-minded"-it depends on the issue or "topic of conversation." As far as Metallica "having long hair" on "Load" and "Re-Load", I don't care, because, in my opinion, the music on both efforts, (when) "compared to their '80s music," is "too mainstream."
Ok, so we all know load wasn’t the black album, and reload wasn’t very exciting apart from a few songs, but load really had some good songs on it, I don’t see why it gets all the hate
I haven't watched it fully yet, so forgive me if I get the wrong meaning. Lars is on the front of The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited and Garage Inc.
Its always weird seeing how much Jason's appearance changed from the beginning of the Roam tour to here. At first he looked like he did in 89, then cut his hair, stopped wearing black and started wearing shorts with hiking boots on stage. All the while everyone else pretty much stayed the same with the exception of James mullet, but you can still see 91 James. In short, Jason ended up looking less metal on stage.
You ain't never going to be on any covers anymore Lars...You didn't expect the 2000's to come over and fuck you over..The guy you shit on is probably doing geeky internet stuff..Karmas a bitch!
Saw Metallica in 94. I was 14.... I couldn't wait for their next album to come out. Then Load happened...... *facepalm*. However, I am VERY excited for Hardwired.. going back to their roots!
Load and Reload KICKS ASS!!! Fav albums from Metallica are: Justice Master Load Reload After St. Anger and some kind of Monster DVD Metallica basically died for me. Only way to get musical respect again from me is to make a great album again and then keep on going making great music. Load and Reload has great prduction and they experiment with lots of different emotions and elements that makes them feel like the most well crafted music they have made with songs like where the wild things are, Low man's lyric, bleeding me, The house jack built ++ You can't just make random riffs, glue them together and then shout over them and call it a day. On Load and Reload James sang more than ever and also used different vocal harmonies to create som eerie dark stuff which I love. I felt like Metallica was progressing as musicians on Load and Reload and then suddenly got struck in the head or something when making St. Anger and Dethmagnetic.
I put their 80's material clearly above the rest, but I tend to agree with what you are saying post 2000. Ever since St Anger, something drastically went wrong with their songwriting formula. It's like James lost all his creative powers or something. Load/Reload were solid hard rock albums. The production was on point, James voice was still there, and a lot of those riffs would make Iommi proud. I thought maybe St Anger was a one off where the band was on the brink of destruction which heavily affected the writing, and they would later return to form. How you described Death Magnetic with random riff just patched together and James vocal delivery of just screaming over top of them until he's out of breath is exactly what I hear too. The same thing carried on over to Hardwired. It' like the real James was abducted after the S&M thing. No Leaf Clover and -Human were still quality songs and sounded like part of their natural evolution. People saying Metallica came back to form with their last two..I just don't hear it. I would rather listen to Load/Reload any day of the week over what they've done the past 20 years and I'm primarily an 80's Metallica fan. It just goes to show that playing heavy and faster doesn't really mean that much. That classical element that made the band so great when they played metal is not there anymore. You used to be able to put their old stuff on a piano and it sounded like it was created by a great composer from the past. Aside from a couple songs, almost all of their newer stuff doesn't translate at all to other instruments.
@@perpetualmotion357 I have to say that the Hardwired album was a big step in the right direction with songs like Dream no more, Halo on fire, Spit out the bone, Moth into flame, Here comes revenge. Still got a long way to go sadly. They put out their worst song ever on that album as well (Atlas Rise), The intros to basically all songs are horrendous. long dragged out copy paste repetitive stuff combined with garbage solos. You don't have to play EVERYTHING and every variation 4 times! So I love about 50% of that album. Over these past 7 years my top list changed a little bit: Justice Load Black album ReLoad Master If I am to conclude the entire list then: Hardwired Kill em all Ride the Lightning St.Anger Death Magnetic The new album is sounding very promising with my fave song so far being "If Darkness Had a Son". Probably best song I have heard since ReLoad, or maybe I should say since "I Disappear" (Funny how Metallica disappeared after that song ;). Overall the songs sound better produced, thicker sound and more atmospheric. Dare I say closer to ReLoad? Not that gun metal grey sound anymore and actually putting some verb back into their sound. Kirk is actually making some great solo stuff again as well. + adding more WHA extensions and filling in more of the sound again. This is actually the most hyped I have been for a new Metallica album since ReLoad. Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn on release.
Haha indeed. Don´t know what happened to their style 94/95,. The only one who looks like he used to was Lars. But James techno-viking-mullet is awesome.
Gotta miss Lars's bellbrass snare and his tuning-mic preferences of the time. That 6.5 bold badass bastard was like a monster shotgun, no trigger needed, goddamn !
what a random number of days in the life of metallica... whats next one month 2 days and 3 hours in the life of metallica? but i do enjoy the vid so thanks:)
See the reaction of the crowd on thoses songs quite positive in that period live versus when the album came out. Not that every song was a masterpiece on thoses but there re still great songs . That prooves that was image thing that colded people

Kirk is actually making some great solo stuff again as well. + adding more WHA extensions and filling in more of the sound again. This is actually the most hyped I have been for a new Metallica album since ReLoad. Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn on release.
Wow this was on the day I was born xD
Now you’re old ballz
HEY THAT CHICK FROM THE HOTEL THATS JAMES FUTURE WIFE.......
@peteM3rlin really? i thought they were together just in 1991
crowd: "what the fuck is this bluesy shit"?
Hahaha. For sure :)
Well to be honest, it didn't really sound too bluesy as compared with the the load/reload album. It sounded more black album groove metal oriented.
John Puccia fuck that crowd
Lars is the Ron Jeremy of the music world.
"were in england, i love this place, fulla english people"
7:49 that does look fucking awesome fair play
is this on dvd?
What was that first song?
15:00 James banging his head ahahahahahahahaha
Haha indeed. Don´t know what happened to their style 94/95,. The only one who looks like he used to was Lars. But James techno-viking-mullet is awesome.
The Metal Hammer cover thing Lars did with the asian guy is the most asshole move Ive seen him doing like ever
🙄🙄😏he was joking geez..
Yeah, he was joking around and being an ass. You can do both at the same time.
@23:15 LoL Slash's Armpit
What about his armpits?
At 20:09 min John Bon Jovi talking to Kerry King and Lars.
31:36 , James is the original Techno Viking?
Very good
Is that Ozzy at 1:16?
Gotta miss Lars's bellbrass snare and his tuning-mic preferences of the time. That 6.5 bold badass bastard was like a monster shotgun, no trigger needed, goddamn !
Say what you will about load and reload but I'll take those albums over st.anger or some of the stuff that came after it
james looks like the raving viking in this!
Man, this was the life!!
what a random number of days in the life of metallica... whats next one month 2 days and 3 hours in the life of metallica? but i do enjoy the vid so thanks:)
2:24 That fuckin Wah Wah Pedal
are you fucking kidding me? not enough adds and commercial breaks
Weird to see them with their longer hair while playing Load/Reload songs.
See the reaction of the crowd on thoses songs quite positive in that period live versus when the album came out.
Not that every song was a masterpiece on thoses but there re still great songs .
That prooves that was image thing that colded people
I lol'd when you see lars with metal hammer in his hand and talking to the asian guy who looks like lars like he's a weird random guy XD
This one is so hot it's really good and you know I'm going to say Kirk is so volcanic hot
