The scale that Kirk used for this solo (also on blackened and roam) to give it that twangy Egyptian vibe is so underrated. I hope he uses it on the new album.
Jesus that's a demanding song to play, it's no wonder they haven't played it in years, genius. I could listen to the beginning forever... Dadadada Dada dadadaaaa
It's an amazingly insane song. That groove opening is just one of the heaviest things ever and i love how it fades in ominously on the album. This is an incredible piece footage.
@@MetalliBanger88 but yeah it’s a damn good album. Their first 5 albums are easy to listen too from start to finish. Load and reload I can listen to all the way through also, but I like to listen to them relaxing in bed at night. Maybe it’s because I listened to them at night a lot as a teenager, but they relax me to help me get to sleep.
@@FilmThePoliceFTP yeah, i think it's very incredible, when you have 8-12 songs in an album you can listen to in one sitting Since KEA to Black album, Metallica is simply pristine, great energy
I was there 34 years ago at the Philadelphia Spectrum with my sister & cousin. My sister was 13 and this was her 1st concert & Jimmy's 1st time seeing mighty Metallica in 1989! Still got my ticket stub. RIP Eddie, Ernie, and Philadelphia Spectrum 😢
This is the lyrical essence of "...and justice for all", next to the title track. Just like a part 2 to it. "justice", "independence", "freedome"... Such an underrated, important song on this lp. I've always noticed that, from the first time i listened the whole album, but i fear many-many didn't. Great live performance btw! 😅🤘🏻🥲
I've been listening to that specific track on and off (mostly due to awesome hard and heavy structure, riffz and solo), but it is very hard in the lyrics department as well! That last block after the solo section is just brutal "You silence just to hear yourself", "Freedom no longer frees you" AJFA, and especially Blackened, Dyers Eve and One are all awesome, but EOtB is just fist in your face kinda song, which i can do nothing but *respect*
Since I was there, I can tell you it was! That entire concert, which I paid $14.50 to attend, was amazing that March Sunday night in South Philly. You take care 🤘
Such a fucking banger!! Wish they'd play it more often.. If Darkness Had a Son basically recycles this verse riff, so why won't they play this one? lol.. Come on Lars! You can handle the shuffle beat
Am I hearing the Lars playing perfectly clean 8th notes? This is the same guy who can't use his left kick drum during the "Darkness" segment of One, right? The double bass beat that every drummer recognizes and almost all of them can play start to finish without gassing out or cramping up?
Lars was a monster in the 80s. He was pretty good through the late 90s then started getting lazy he sounds alot better last couple years though. Around this time the entire band was on fire.
Honestly man, I beg to differ. If you listen to their performance of One at the 1989 Grammys, Lars still plays: kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, snare, snare And we all know the album version goes: kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare, snare Even back then, Lars' double bass button was finicky
@@tyminor9366The point that you described it like that tells me you’re not a drummer. He played that part. You know how bad it would sound if he played it like you described. It wouldn’t go with the guitar at all
@@jd0879 They had their hacks back in the day. If you listen closely to that performance, you can hear Jason playing the stop 'n' go pattern at the point where lars is supposed to play it alone to transition into the "darkness" segment. Its subtle but if you listen to the feel of the kicks with a good set of headphones, you can hear that the sound guy tweaked Jason's EQ to help him fill in Lars' missing notes. On top of that, James and Kirk would accent their parts to line up a little better with Lars. But the main ingredient was playing that part at a higher bpm so it takes a trained ear to notice. It's fairly easy to hear if you don't cut them the kind of slack they had up till the Napster thing. To Lars' credit though, he's getting his shit together with double bass these days. All it took was 40 years and the band threatening to replace him.
@@AnoNym-he1yv dude i am a somewhat conspiracy theorist mean while you cant even understand what my comment says your name is weird you dont even have a pfp so stfu bot
I was so depressed the first time I heard Enter Sandman. It was like a good friend had died. The most revolutionaty band in the world went the Motley Crue route. Took me like twenty years to get over it
@@subg8858 I wouldn't say it was motley crew just because they used same producer they used. The black album is way more badass and heavy than anything the crew ever did imo. They're cool but not Metallica 83-91 cool. Enter sandman is a good song not great and it's been overplayed to death so I'd basically rather hear any Metallica song before it. Doesn't take away how great the black album is top to bottom there's alot of bangers on that album. I like the stuff that doesn't get as much play holier than thou, struggle within, don't tread on me, through the never, God that failed., and my friend of misery are all great.
@@subg8858 haha love it. Me too. It took me like 20 years to stop ranting about that anytime Metallica comes up. I realize now, who really gives a fuck, people like what they like. But seriously. When the Black album came out and I first heard it I kind of just stared into space wonder wtf happened. I thought for sure the whole band lineup changed or something. I went from being so bummed when my radio station would play a shorter version of "One" to just being bummed whenever any Black album Metallica was played. And I annoyed the shit out of anyone unlucky enough to hear me rant about it.

It's phrygian major, the 5th mode of the harmonic minor.
@@dmitryWeirdo Used it on a song, it really is a good mode
AJFA is kirks best solos where he finally play’s something different.
i wonder why those three are the top of my favorite songs list
Jesus that's a demanding song to play, it's no wonder they haven't played it in years, genius. I could listen to the beginning forever... Dadadada Dada dadadaaaa
nah actually its ultra easy to play on guitar and even sing, if I can do that and I suck then its not that hard
It's an amazingly insane song. That groove opening is just one of the heaviest things ever and i love how it fades in ominously on the album. This is an incredible piece footage.
@Ensid1993 the interlude and guitar solo is hard due to the meter changes and so forth.
@@russkate88 no, its not, if I can do that, they can do that easily.
This songs fantastic - they should play it more frequentlyyy
@@moonslidme7792 Why?
@@moonslidme7792 its not played because lars hates it. He said so in a recent interview
@@ash80510 yeah he can’t stand the double bass because he’s a shitty drummer lol
@@ash80510 It's also difficult to downpick this song.
And it’s really hard for Hetfield to sing because some parts are very high, along with tough time signatures while singing/playing it
Lars was on point here. Too bad the sound quality of the recording is not so hot. The boys in their prime.
One of the best songs in 'tallica catalog -- still not played live for more than 30 years!
Agreed.
Lars hates playing it is why
@@syracuse6651 source?
I think that scream at the end was just James genuinely releasing the stress this song puts in him
It's really freaking hard to play and sing this song at the same time, so yeah, I defenitely would scream too XD
Se his face at 3:47
Wow, that was awesome. I used to love Blackened and One most from AJFA but just starting to appreciate this and Dyers Eve.
The whole album is godly. Literally every song is good. My least favorite is shortest straw, but it’s still a good listen
Frayed ends of sanity is a banger too

@warlab2022 i think lars said something about it, but its lars so...
its not that hard to play but it becomes very hard to sing while playing
It's the only song from their original 4 albums that was last played in the 1980s
4:49 Holy shit i love that part so fucking much
This song got me into Metallica in 91'
4:19 is the mesmerizing note progression
Those drums like a bomb love it
Fade to black was actualy my first fav metallica song
Best song...from metallica...i am so glad...
Yeah, unrated af
@@starblack8470 Underrated?

Me encanta este gran temazoooooo de 1988
Lars sounds great here dude
if James had to play Escape then we must force Lars to play this song!!
I bet this sounded amazing being there

It’s very hard to do you can tell just from this video how much of a strain it is
Jason!
best song rver!

So fucking great

Sing it !!
I never heard it live
❤
"Machine-gun" Lars in the double kick pedal is the best
double bass Metallica song
Amazing if the camera was on Jason the whole time.
You can tell that James is stressed out playing this song
He wasn’t stressed here he was (a bit) drunk 😅
Stressed out for playing a 6 minute song?
why stressed?
this like the easiest song on this album
No, just drunk
Jason is the shit ón this song
What a great groove and powerful as shit. Sucks lars doesn't like playing it. Something about it's not natural to play.
💪💪💪💪🫵
This song is about social media and government control
This song was written before social media
@@shredmaster1049I think he’s talking about the media in that time, like news channels, newspapers, radio??

Welcome to the And Justice For All album xd Half the album is like that.
However, they are really easy listening though.
