I was one of the fans in the train. I had decided to get off in Florence, so luckily I could meet the guys among few fans. That's a young me at 12:25 trying to take a picture. I'm still a huge fan since 1986.
@@rafaelasecco5204 yes I did,. You could take plenty of photos back that day. I've sent few of them to the Metallica Club for the upcoming Load remastered box set. Hope they will use them, fingers crossed.
Irony of the thing is that James once said in the 80's during the concert "if you are expecting the band that wears latex and has a crazy hairstyles and screams baby all the time, we ain't that band, yet they have turned into that in 1996. Never say never James!
Well, to be fair, they didn't have crazy hairstyles nor did they scream baby all the time. I've seen Kirk wear latex pants on some photos from that time. He, also, wore makeup and so did Lars on a few photos. But i think that's about it mostly. I mean look at live performances from that time like the cunning stunts concert, nothing extravagant going on in their looks.
To be honest it was a smart move for Metallica in 1996 when Load came out and debut at #1 on the charts due to the heavy metal climate not being the same anymore and went to alternative music which worked out perfectly for them.
Thanks for this upload... That day I was 16 years old, in the Rome station at the end of this wonderful day me in the same room whit Kirk and Lars a dream became true...
It was a weird time to become a Metallica fan. I was in Jr. High in 1996 and I had a buddy who was in to Metallica - I was in to Weird Al. I was used having the next song on the record sounding completely different than the previous one since Weird Al parodied all genres of music. We were at his house one day playing some Super Nintendo when he decided to put the Black Album on as background music. To me, every song sounded the same, but it was the intro to "Don't Tread On Me" that caught my attention because I had watched "West Side Story" before, so I knew the song they took that from. I thought, "What heavy metal band would have the balls to use a melody from a old musical???" It was then the riff from "Through the Never" that made me realize this band is awesome! I went to Wal-Mart and started flipping through their discography and when I found the Black Album I put on their headphones and scanned the UPC and started listening. The chorus to "Enter Sandman" started playing and I instantly recognized it from Weird Al's "Polka Your Eyes Out" so that was the album I first bought and after that I became a Metallica fan. I then bought Load and ReLoad a few months later, so the early-to-mid 1990's was my era.
In my opinion Metallica did what they were doing since their biggest selling metal album Metallica, but at the same time Load was a little bit different because their music was placed in alternitive category knowing that the heavy music was not the same anymore and Load debut at #1 on the billboard charts in 1996.

You know what was funny is that the critics talking about Metallica selling out after load had gone to #1 on the billboard charts and still having sold out concerts. But at the same time Pantera's ex vocal Philip H Anselmo had bashed Metallica's Load album for not being thrash anymore, but the problem with this situation is that Metallica was winning awards, and being the most successful tour band of all time.
I'm just gonna say this: If it never happened before, Lars and Kirk definitely started having legit gay sex with each other during the Load era. I don't care what James says about ""pretending"" to be gay. That could explain a lot of their behavior but NOT Lars playing with Kirk's lip ring and the look he gives at 19:15. There is NO heterosexual explanation for that.
I don’t think so, Lars and Kirk have stated that they only kiss and do the things they did bc they were comfortable in their masculinity. Following with Kirk stating “Also, I love women.. and there’s a lot of women out there who know I love women”
@@sandhya315 if he was pan or bi (which he joked about already) he wouldn’t have reassured that he loves women. Also lars hasn’t said anything about being gay.
@@MalibUMack08a man loving women can also love men (or just enjoy sex with them). These two desires aren't mutually exclusive. Kirk has also said that he and his wife were swingers and that some of the people he fucked were men. Like relax, not everyone is neatly hetero.
Just read "So What! The Good, the Mad, and the Ugly" by S.Chirazi. Kirk and Lars explains what this era was for them and it was, to simply put it - just fun. They were messing with everyone, especially, sadly, with fans. There's an interview about the kiss and everything, it was staged for "comments" and attention, but whatever you believe people.
Lars Ulrich (Gentofte, 26 de diciembre de 1963) es un músico danés conocido principalmente por ser el baterista, compositor, fundador y líder (junto a James Hetfield) de la banda de thrash metal estadounidense Metallica.
In my opinion and no disrespect to to ex vocalist Pantera Philip Anselmo who is the greatest frontman in history. At the same time it was a smart move for Metallica where they left off from their biggest selling record Metallica and went to a new direction with a new logo and a new sound for them. The problem with this situation is who was better was it Metallica or Pantera and the answer was Metallica. Metallica had three #1 albums in the 90's, winning awards, and being the most successful tour band of all time. And around the same time Pantera was not the same band until Philip overdose on heroin on stage from Dallas, Texas and dealing with his garbage on the road supporting The Great Southern Trendkill album by not telling his band members what was going on with him during their tour in the late 90's.
You can do what you want of course, but they are so hypocritical in this era. You're named Metallica but you don't want to play metal. They start wearing makeup yet they constantly mocked bands throughout the previous decade.
Load and Reload are still metal, they're just more of a 70s metal-inspired sound, mixed with then-modern alternative. Which shouldn't be that surprising since it was Metallica and GNR's heavier sound that set the stage for grunge in the first place.
Can't argue with the makeup thing though. While I definitely preferred them with the longer hair, I can understand wanting to cut it after like 15 years or something of long hair, especially when that really went out of fashion in the 90s. But for sure, they were a little hypocritical with the eye-liner I suppose.
Cliff Burton would have kicked himself out Metallica by this time. I remember this time we were early 20's and by this time we had stopped listening to these clowns . My oldest daughter who is 15 loves old Metallica and always asked me what happened with them . All I ever had to do was show here a picture of Cliff Burton and let her know that man was the heart and soul of Metallica . I try to convince myself James was just drunk during these years .

kirk's and lars's gayness increases the more the interview comes to an end and it's hilarious
Kirk Looked Like Chris Cornell In That Era
@@mikolajpaluch4927that's what I was thinking lmao
Theyre actually both very feminine men, despite that they express themselves musically in a much more masculine sense.
I love how Kirk and Lars just kiss for no reason other than to screw with the cameraguy, see if they can get away with it. lol
Wait what time I’m the video 😭 I totally missed it

Right. I can't believe this was the same band from the 80s. I was already off the Metallica "train" by this point!!

It only lasted 2 or so years. They've been metal way longer.

Phil was only speaking the truth🤷🏻♂️
The point of selling out is to sell a ton of albums
