I love this performance venue for Metallica in Moscow when I analyzed "Enter Sandman" last year that I wanted to return, based on your recommendations, to "Creeping Death". I swear I'll get back to the Unforgiven saga, but first. . . how utterly amazing is this crowd performance?!

At 7:59, that wasn't a growl. That was a F**k! as he messed up the lyrics. Just as a little note...
Hi Elizabeth!
From your surname I understand that you have slavic roots too as the crowd in the concert am I correct?
Because Zharoff seems Russian / Ukrainian etc..
Elisabeth, do you follow the Eurovision song contest? Live tonight.
This is the largest concert ever with approximately 1 million people in attendance and was the first western concert allowed in the Soviet Union. I am stating this all from memory so I could be a little off on the facts
I hope you find some time to hear Zebra, the song behind the door. They only have two albums I think. I was lucky to see them years ago. I have a good feeling you will appreciate his unique voice. Thank me later.
Can we all just appreciate how frigging metal Jason Newsted is??
Dude jason put the metal into metal. God that dude is missed
Too metal for his own good.
@@scoutbeavers7355 yep,too metal for their lame asses
I hate that they forced him out. He was amazing !
They were so good together....His vocals in this song live were always a highlight.
Jason Newsted was that sinister DIE chant. Kirk was singing backings as well, but every Metallica fan knows how powerful of a back up singer Jason was. Impossible to replace
True words
Huge fan of early Metallica, so I don’t really know Jason’s contribution. Never seemed like a good fit for me, so I’ll just stick with the first 3 albums. 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
@@heyjarrodSo you can't objectively see live footage?
@22:59 Jason was a decent lead vocalist too!
@@heyjarrod that's a shame because the 4th has some of their best music and I'm specifically a Cliff Burton fan.
I love Robert Trujillo, and Cliff Burton will always be the soul of Metallica, but Jason Newsted has always been my favorite Metallica bassist. The guy is an absolute monster, and brought something to the band that they've been missing ever since.
His intensity on stage is hard to rival regardless of band. Massive stage presence.
You sir have the right opinion
His energy and enthusiasm are inspiring and match the fan energy. Love that
%100 agree
I never got to see cliff in Concert, but I been up front for Jason and Rob. Jason is a beast live. Love Rob, but Jason could sing and carry the crowd with crazy energy. Last song of the night, he was still going at it like it was his first song.
You mentioned this is "the most aggressive sound you've heard from Metallica." This is PRIME Metallica! Them at their absolute best. They were untouchable in the metal genre and were one of the biggest bands in the world, regardless of genre. This is why their fan base is so passionate about their younger years. The absolute pinnacle of Thrash Metal
Truth. I've seen them 9 times since 86, and the 2 Justice shows, and 2 Black shows I saw were simply awesome concerts. In the literal sense of the word "awesome." I feel bad my daughter who loves Metallica, will never get to see them the way I did. No videos or explanations can replicate the energy io those arenas in 88-92. Jason's contribution to the live shows can't be oversold, and is missed to this day. "DIE!, DIE!, DIE!"
The pinnacle of thrash goes to 84-91 era Slayer. They had the craziest fans. Pinnacle heavy metal goes to 84-91 era Metallica. They had the most passionate fans.
1989 was the peak. Energy levels, tone, James’ voice, their look…they wanted to dominate the world
Baddest ass favorite thrash song is Whiplash 💃🏻❤️🩹
Fully agree.
Jason Newsted has the growling backing vocals. He did a great job on this. 👍🏻
Jason is the reason that Seattle 89 is my favourite version of creeping death
Jason always gave 200% in concert and everything he did that revolved around metallica all the way down to the fans.he is a true,genuine person.no ego trips involved.for the love of the music
Jason will always be my favorite Metallica bassist. His energy, rock-solid playing, and backing vocals made a massive impact on the live show. No disrespect to the compositional genius of Cliff Burton or the technical wizardry of Rob Trujillo, of course. Jason's just the dude in my book.
Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn are some of my favorite tracks for a live performance because of his background vocals
@@KyleS.1987 I absolutely agree.jason is in my top 5 bass influences.
I've probably heard that "Die.. die." part over 1000 times and I still get goosebumps every damn time. Just pure anger from all of them and it's so powerful. Long live metallica. Also, Hetfield and Newsted were meant to be together on the stage. Their voices together are just outstanding.
I was quite impressed by Newstead's harshness and how well it complimented the song. It's a shame he's no longer with them (for when I do newer videos).
@@TheCharismaticVoice Good thing there's plenty of songs from Seattle 89 to choose from.
Kind of like the double bass part in One. You've done it a million times, doesn't matter.
you can see their '92 san diego take of this song...the video cuts for "DIE...DIE...DIE" are absolutely insane!!!
@@TheCharismaticVoice What about Kids Cover Rammstein - Mutter ?
That "barking dog" sound you hear is actually the bassist, Jason Newsted belting out the first word of every verse. If you see the live in 89 version of the song it showcases his vocals a lot more.
Oh, moscow 91 was one of the best metallica shows. 1.6million attendance, although it was not only metallica performing, it was still one of the greatest metal shows in history!
One of the greatest live concerts ever. The incredible crowd, the bands, the songs, the epic performances, the once in a lifetime venue and historical context as the USSR split apart.
@joeb4142 they'll never ever be another show as epic as this. Woodstock? Lol. The history and size of this show place it at the top. The evil empire had fallen and this was the Russian peoples celebration and gift for enduring communism. Absolutely fucking unreal
@@dyerseve45 oh yes ofcourse, and well to be brutally honest, metallica did reach their peak with the black album, after that, they started their slow downfall.
The entire Ride the Lighting is an intense examination of death.
Brutal for its time.
An amazing piece of work.
Underrated af imo. It’s amazing how much James has shared with us throughout the years. Without knowing it, he became a father figure to a literal million kids, me included. Life, death, war, peace, addiction, love, failure, regret, forgiveness, depression, success, suicide, understanding, acceptance. There’s nothing the dude hasn’t taught me about by simply showing me. Metallica is so much more than a band. They are family to me.
Stay good, friend.
See you in the pit.
Amen!
Metallica is not even among my top 50 bands, and I consider Ride the Lightning the best metal album of all time.
My favorite, close with kill em all
Definitely my favourite Metallica album. It’s peak performance imo. With that wild youth type feel to it.
“Harvester of Sorrow” from this concert is probably the ultimate, as far as referencing this concert specifically. Definitely worth checking it out.
Seattle 1989>
Harvester is really Bad Ass here, to me, one of their better tunes!
Yes, please react to the Moscow recording. With the exception of seeing this tour live 4 times, 1.6 million people at an airfield outside of Moscow rock'n to these metal God's....hard to beat!
"Harvester of Sorrow" from this concert is a perfect confluence of song, tone, location, and time. Its still more visceral in the Seattle '89 concert, but jeez, who would better really"feel" that song than the Russian people in 1991?
Harvester from San Diego in 1992 (I think) gives me chills.
In my opinion, this concert could seriously be one of the greatest musical performances of all time. The rage and aggression from the band and the crowd of over half a million russians right after the fall of the Soviet Union complement each other to make one of the most insane atmospheres ever created
For me it's a landmark moment in time, history and music. There's just so many components coming together here, its like a perfect storm. Metallica weren't even headlining this show, and they stole it.
1.6million russians! Pantera's Domination is a killer vid of that festival as well!
The mashup of post cold war global politics and metal came together like a gd nuclear bomb!!! I doubt we’ll ever see anything like it again🤘🏻
I wish they would rock again instead of war
It's great, but Seattle: Binge & Purge takes the number 1 spot for their live performances. That one is on a completely different level.
Every metallica bassist has been extremely talented in their own ways, but Jason Newsted brought something to metallica with his backing vocals that Cliff and Rob never quite have
Cliff had it his own way, but fuck yeah, Jason all the way, he is my choice and fukin miss him so much
Jason's backing vocals are WAY underrated. This version shows his voice well.
they are not
they are not, dont get me wrong i love Rob he's a sick bass player but Jason's growl and attitude is somehow missing in every concert, and when he sang seek and destroy or wiplash or even this song was fucking brutal, Jason was the metallica we 90's kids grew with.
who underrates jasons backing vocals? every metallica fan loves the fuck out of them
He was and is underated period. It was really bad behavior on Metallicas part how dirty they did him, but I'm in no place to judge, I just wish things turned out better for Jason
Jason vocals in Mexico City 93’ are his prime for sure!
THIS is Metallica at it's peak, their ultimate live performance..with Jason..absolute monsters..
Peak without Cliff Burton I think not
@@Gixx-yh4ih you may be right but creeping death was never this intense with cliff, cliff was more skilled than jason no doubt but jason had awesome vocals that fit metallica's energy
Seattle 89
86-88 their peak, covers Jason and Cliff.
Creeping Death is not only one of the best Metallica songs, but one of the best metal songs of them all ever.
I could have watched this whole performance with the camera locked onto Jason! His passion rage aggression. He was born for this song
The whole performance is EPIC, but James Hetfield is at the top of his game vocally here. It feels like he was tearing into that mic and breathing fire out over the crowd.
Also, Metallica was unstoppable with Jason Newsted as their bassist, his energy and backing vocals are out of this world.
I mean, he sounded great back then but objectively he is a better singer technically now. Much more so.
@@stefanwikander1336 he can have any technique he had a better voice back then but he is one of the singers who can still sing. For someone who is touring and singing these songs for 40 fucking years he sounds great.
Saw them play a couple of times with Cliff......
Too bad they treated Jason like sh!t and chased him out of the band. He was a much better fit for the band then Robert Trujillo. Whose vast skills as a bass player are so much underused by them.
Nothing wrong with the other bass players but yeah I agree... it was mesmerizing the way they played live. They are still great but Jason was the man
Nobody stalked the stage like James Hetfield in his prime. Dressed in black, hunched over with legs wide apart. He was intimidating and commanded the crowd like Caesar. This is prime Metallica. They were ferocious and delivered with bad intentions. This is how the great metal bands were in their prime. To play right on the edge and keep it there. This is what makes the greatest metal truly great.
Hetfield's rhythm playing was ferocious too. It takes phenomenal stamina to downpick everything like this with such aggression and precision. Amazing!
James Hetfield Downpicking God!
Phil anselmo>>>> in the same concert too
Cocaine is one hell of a drug
@@WANAX816 well... no. to be honest such a comment can only be made by someone who never really listened to pantera. the abbott brothers alone were insanely talented musicians (and ALWAYS better than kirk and lars, respectively), rex brown is one hell of a bass player and anselmo was pretty much up there with hetfield during that time. pantera was just pure heaviness and was one of the few bands to keep metal alive during the reign of grunge and everything that followed. i don't consider myself a pantera fan but this is just something that has to be acknowledged
IMO this show th-cam.com/video/GjeFSNri-Xk/w-d-xo.html from Copenhagen was the best of the European leg of the 4 year tour.
Who ever was doing sound, up until they returned Stateside, *is a god.*
They never sounded better.
Best live version of Creeping Death available. I’ve listened to all of them (hundreds), and this one is by far the best.
Same here. Completely agree. I think seattle 89 is probably second.
@@sk8erhardymexico 1993 or san diego 1992 ?
This was right around the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Russian youth were hungry for freedom. This concert was the ultimate catharsis for this crowd, and it shows. Truly once in a lifetime.
Don't forget subversive.
it's an empire that lost to another one.
Did you notice it wasn't just Russian flags? I saw Ukraine as well.
@@tubergonz Lots of Soviet states represented in the crowd
Getting ONE POINT SIX MILLION people chanting "DIE! DIE! DIE!" to the massive song Creeping Death must be one of the peak moments in any music performance ever! 😃
When I saw your comment I was like “that’s crazy” but then I googled it and was like holy shit
At least 1.6 million. They stopped counting and think there were more.
1.6 million is where they just stopped counting. There were actually closer to, and more likely more than, 2 million. But, since 1.6 million is where they stopped counting, that is what the official numbers will be.
@@ianwakers whatever you say, lil feller. If that makes you sleep better at night.
@@ianwakerswhats your source?
The dog barking is Jason Newsted. He brought it every single live performance. His voice is so dark and powerful in its aggression. If you want to hear more from him with Metallica react to them doing Seek and Destroy with him. Jason will sing the whole song instead of just singing a bit or doing backing vocals for James.
Also: check out any song from the Seattle ‘89 concert. They were on it for the entire concert. Check out Welcome Home Sanitarium from that venue.
Analysis of 'Seek and Destroy' with Jason on vocals, it's such a great idea. I think the live in San Diego would be the best for that.
@@juancarlospinellsalgado2708 💯
Jason was the soul of Metallica. They haven’t been the same since he left.
@@bfunkadelicmusic I like Jason alot but they been doing just fine without him. The last 3 albums are real good and the last few years live they've sounded better than they have in 20-30 years. Like I said Jason was great but this whole Metallica ain't the same without Jason thing is a tired narrative.
Trujillo can’t hold a candle to Jason’s energy and backing vocals.
The recordings from Seattle '89 and Moscow '91 are prime Metallica. The peak of metal arguably.
Arguably the greatest metal riff of all time at the greatest metal concert of all time! 1.6 million people, unreal! Brian Johnson from AC/DC (the headlining band for that show) talks about how the promoter kept coming back stage in disbelief to update the numbers. “500,000…600…a million…a million and a half… we’ve lost count, they’re still coming!”
They were just utterly vicious performers during this time period
and drunk! how James hits the pitch with the vocals while getting this brutal riff right is beyond me, especially when you notice he was not sober...
They’re great now too. Just listen to the Amsterdam shows. Playing and singing like 20 year olds.
For sure. Don't think there's ever been a better heavy band then Metallica late 80's-early 90's. Absolutely brutal.
@@baptisteseguy3280 🤣 yep
@Bruno Krause their Amsterdam videos have been mind-blowing. They put out You Must Burn today and it's insanely good.
Jason knew how to harmonize. They worked so well together.
A perfect marriage!
thats why i was upset when he left the band. . .he brought such a great extra vocal layer,specially live, that they havnt had since
You mentioned how many people in at that concert...
Some concerts go down in history and the 1991 'Monsters of Rock' festival in Moscow was no exception. Known as one of the biggest concerts to ever take place, with a huge 1.6 million attendees, it marked the most momentous of performances for the heavy metal band Metallica.
AbsoIuteIy, what a moment in metal history and an amazing show. I can't imagine the energy at that show.
they had the biggest ..... they are now in 5th position ex-aequo
1/ Rod Steward 4.2 M.... 2/ jean michel jarre 3.5 M.... 3/ jorge ben Jor 3 M.... 4/ jean michel jarre again ... 2M.... then the Monsters of Rock tour in 1991 (AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes) with 1.6 M ( metallica not alone )
Yeah, this is without a doubt one of the most aggressive songs (and performance) in their career. Absolute masterpiece.
Anyone who’s experienced the DIE chant live just knows how incredible that energy is! Fist pumping in the air, DIE echoing all around you, a truly immersive moment at a live show that literally solidifies the energy of thousands of people into one crazy fiery machine and moment you’ll never forget, amazing 🔥
1.6 MILLION here, actually
It's the best
Especially here, the buildup, the anticipation, then then the release!
The only thing better than the DIE chant is the Slayer KILL chant
Hell yeah man I was lucky enough to see them in 2008, and I was pretty young at the time, but Creeping Death probably stands out to me the most still in my mind, really one of the best shows I've been to
According to drummer Lars Ulrich, he and frontman James Hetfield watched the movie "The Ten Commandments" at Burton's parents' house. "There's a scene where Moses goes back to try and get his people out of Egypt, and when the Pharaoh reneges on that, the firstborn must die," he told Metal Hammer. "Then this fog appears out of the moon and comes down and starts creeping across the ground, smoke machine-style, and everybody who's caught in it falls over and dies on the spot. That's where the words 'Creeping Death' come from."
G-D also told the Jews to spread lambs blood over their doorways so "death" would know to "Pass Over" those homes and spare them giving meaning to the name of the holiday.
That Angel of Death creeping in was actually a haunting scene..eerie
And just like the story of Sampson in The Bible, when James cut his hair he lost his power and strength.
And for a time the songs were published under the name _Creeping Death Music_
@@wyattblackwood3927 Which reminds me that Liz should do _Gouge Away_ from the Pixies 2004 Toronto show.
To see a classical music trained vocal expert fall in love with Metal is awesome. I really love your passion for the music, and letting your inner music nerd out for all of us to see an enjoy. To quote "To be honest, it really makes me want to head bang" is my favorite comment of yours yet! Keep up the great work.
Without getting too much into the details, I'm going through a lot of really rough things right now. Bad enough that I pretty much spent the day hiding my head at work (I'm a machinist) because I spent almost the whole day just crying. But I get home and pull out my sketching supplies and pull this video up because I love seeing how much joy you get from music. Your joy is literally so contagious and it helped me to feel a little bit of that joy. I was able to forget my problems and smile for the first time in a few days. I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for you sharing something you're so passionate about. Also just wanted to say that you for shining some light in my darkness without even meaning to. Thank you for sharing your joy ❤
Keep moving forward man, metal is by your side! 🤘🏼
That “Barking Dog!” Is
Jason “Fn” Newsted! 🤘🏻
His Backing Vocals are unbelievable & he OWNS this song! It’s just not the same without him SCREAMING!
I miss him singing, I seen them in 94 in New Hampshire, Jason pasted out, and then came back, but did not play bass, just sung the rest of the show, it was awesome
@@ramdart74 awesome stuff!
I saw them for the first time at Great Woods, Mansfield MA!
Opening Acts were Danzig & Suicidal Tendencies! KILLER SHOW!
Yeah Metallica’s live performances have lost that insane metal energy ever since Jason left.
@@MunkeeFWRrng I’m a huge fan of Rob!
He’s an unbelievable talent on BASS.
But Jason’s vocals are missed, especially LIVE
I agree 👍🏻🤘🏻
@@Gmblr812 Jason had amazing stage presence too.
Seeing your reaction to Jason screaming die made my day. Jason was always so full of energy dude literally sweat buckets on stage.
Dude weighs a buck sixty but has the neck of a linebacker from the constant headbanging.
@@randomOAS7 🤣 I swear, as a metalhead teen, I had stick-thin arms and a neck like a goddamn wrestler
I realize with time that Jason fit amazingly to the band by his presence onstage and complete James's voice perfectly.
The result is an expression of metal art at his summit.❤
Kirk Hammet plays each note, fast as lightning, with METICULOUS EXACTITUDE. I've been a fan of these glorious bastards since I started shaving. Intense, emotional and powerful. To see someone who appreciates the depths and subtleties. Well done maam. Keep hammering that rock
By most accounts, that was 1.6 million people in a Russian airfield. Metallica wasn't the only band, it was a festival, and I've been in a crowd of 60000 people chanting "DIE" at one of their concerts... it is beyond an experience
I remember watching this on youtube back in the day, and for the longest time it was pretty funny that it had move views in real life than it had on youtube haha.
There are regular concerts and then there are once in a life time shows like this. The only other concert I can recall that could match the caliber of this one was Rock in Rio 2001. When Iron Maiden did Fear of the Dark and you could hear 2 million Brazilian metal heads singing the riffs in unison was something you'll probably never see again it was so fantastic.
Nobody even remembers ADCD was there too. Metallica’s performance was that epic!
This was the summer before the Soviet Union fell. During another Metallica song (Harvester of Sorrow) there were KGB (I think they were KGB, but might be wrong) beating their way through the crowd.
@@mikefranco76 There's Harvester of Sorrow music video where you can see that, and a helicopter flying low over the people
The DIE chant is one of the reasons this is one of my favorite Metallica songs. When you’re shouting it you just feel like you’ve become part of a huge energy or pulse. Pure rush and high.
I flash back to the Hartford Civic Center, with the crowd lit up, ten thousand kids screaming Die!
I have seen Metallica over 30 times all over the world in the 80’s 90’s 00’s and beyond, you would be hard pressed to find a better live rendition of any of their songs than this one. Aggressive, powerful and commanding. Their shows in 22 and 23 are some of the best I have seen from them in over a decade as well. They have put together a fantastic show for 23 and 24.
What does your numbers mean?
Ride the lightning was one of their best albums in terms of how each track led into the next. The energy is so relentless. Also, slick segue into the sponsor 😅
For me it is the best album
It's my favorite Metallica album. It flows so well.
Metallica as a live band couldn't be touched during this period. The energy was insane you can feel it through the screen all these years later.
Yes, but I prefer Nightwish which has melody, epicness and all around a joy to listen to. Nightwish hands down, any day. Compared to Metalica, which sounds much more like "juvenile music" .
I'd say Exodus comes close, but I was 5 at this time, so I only have later experience to go by
@@PopeMetallicus I'd say Exodus has more energy now than they did before their initial breakup.
The band that opened was better lol
@@fk2106I had this perception at 16 of hating on the simplicity of The Beatles. I will be juvenile back to you. Nightwish isn't shit compared to Blind Guardian? Lol
I think the MOST intense concert experience of my life was screaming DIE at a Metallica show with another 60,000 fans. It is beyond words. Especially since I loved this song for many years before seeing them live.
That would be amazing to feel!
I 100% agree. It took me far too long to see them live, and this was the most intense moment of the show.
@@TheCharismaticVoice note from Russian speaker there - Die sound exactly like Russian Дай [daj] which means in this particular form - "give me/us/etc *something*"
like if one is either asking not too nicely, (without "please"), or outright demanding.
And also it sounds very close to Russian Да [da] which means "yes"
1000%!! I was at the ‘89 Seattle show that is on Binge and Purge set. Shouting “Die” in lock step with tens of thousands of people all completely into the moment, so insanely powerful! I will never forget that feeling as long as I live.
You were there?? Oh how lucky you were…😊
That's the largest crowd Metallica played in front of and the energy had to be off the charts it's one of there best concerts ever.
Creeping Death is one of the most iconic metal songs of all time. Just as true is how iconic Metallica was back in 1991 and prior. Wishing they still had the same energy and sound. My tears are never ending. At least we have these memories. Thank you for doing this one
This was a free concert for 1.6 million fans. Amazing - you won’t find a band with more live energy than Metallica
400 porta potties 🚽 7:39for all. People died, people were born!
Pantera went on at 10:00am, to over 60,000
Look into the history of this concert, this concert was a gift to the resistance to communism from the inside. Every radio station in the Balkan countries were advertising it and it grew to this size spontaneously.
This woman is so passionate and emotional about music. I find it incredible. She let her mind and body absorb music to her core, her soul. I can swear she got "excited" at least 4 times during this reaction video. Metallica brings out the animal magnetism in you.
According to the megadeth fanboys Metallica is simplistic bs and boring lol. Its incredible just how wrong they are lol. Metallica has always been a force live especially in those days.
@@midnight347 not really as a Megadeth fan I understand that back in the day Metallica was as good as Megadeth and then they sold out…. PERIOD
@Lil' Ike fr. Megadeth meat riders literally only say it to be different. Mustaine is dog 💩 as a singer. The only thing they have going for them is guitar. Their song composure couldn't touch the heights of Metallica, cause no matter how hard Mustaine and crew tried, they're not composing geniuses like Lars and James. Plus, Kirk kicks all their asses. Listening to Megadeth is like listening to Metallica from Wish
She's just overreacting for the sake of the video, views and likes because she knows majority of people who are going to watch presented songs are going to be fans. If you're into human behaviour little bit deeper it's very clear.
@@slavenabramovic9362 Why are you making it a bad thing that music moves people. And in different ways. So what she may have "acted" a little more for the camera. People have done worse for views and likes. I'm sure you're not commenting how bad all those are. Music us very powerful. It's actually heald people. I read something about a person in a coma for years came out of it when music started playing, people make love listening to music, it makes a scene in a movie dark and chilling. So don't exacerbate or down play how music can make one feel. You personally may not care and that's fine but to say how another person feels is not your job.
If you look into more from Metallica during this time the vocal relationship between James and Jason was amazing. The Unforgiven is a great example of this
Best Metallica song, doing the die chant live is immaculate.
It's so hard to wrap my head around 1.6 million people in one place. I can't imagine the pure energy that must have taken control of everyone. The entire scene is surreal.
Imagine looking at that many people from the sky. It would look amazing.
That was about 20% of the entire population of Moscow at the time.
It wasn't that much, it's been revised in recent times coz they just didn't have a way to calculate it back then. Pretty sure it was still in the hundreds of thousands though.
no official or press from the period ever said it was 1.6 million attendance at the Metallica show
I don’t care if it’s 1.2 million or several hundred thousand or even several thousand, just looking at that crowd is crazy. Relax all you fact checkers this isn’t that important.
James Hetfield is, IMHO, THEE greatest rhythm guitar player of all time. It's not easy to play all the way through their songs and his stamina and ability to do so while serving as the front man on vocals is nothing short of legendary!!!
And being paired with one of the most underrated and probably one of the top lead guitarists, at least in Metal. Kirk is fire. It has made Metallica one of the best bands of all time. And no matter the hate Lars gets, he is still a dang good drummer who added to the sound with his song writing. Metallica has also never had a bad bassist.
Without a doubt Hetfield is a legendary rhythm guitar player, I've been in awe learning Metallica over the years, on song is a workout, nevermind 2 hours straight while singing lol. Saying that, Dave mustaine is up there too, his riffs are super technical and pretty hard to get right on their own and he sings too, maybe not as well as Hetfield but still 🤣
It’s not really an option if it’s a FACT 😂
Not to mention he only down picked 😂 talk about stamina
@@bubblegum0912 mustaine CAN'T sing whatsoever!!!!!
I had the honor of seeing Metallica OPEN for The Rolling Stones in 2005. They played two shows. The first one apparently had a lot of Stones fans and wasn’t very energetic for Metallica. Understandable. I attended the second show, and they played this at the beginning of their set. When the “DIE” part came, we let them have it. And at that point they gave us a show. You could even see Lars on the giant screen getting amped up with adrenaline. This is my greatest memory of this song. A highlight as a fan. Long Live Metallica. 🤘🏽
Yeah that moment where the crowd backvocals and metallica were in perfect sync is an experience make no mistake
Many thoughts went through James’ head during RTL recording sessions. Having his performance evaluated by an opera vocal coach was not one of them.
You don't know that, his mother was an opera singer.
He admitted he had to go to a singing coach during the black adam. Said he was losing his voice
@@dustinrowley515 That he did
But Elisabeth isn’t just a vocal coach anymore. She have become a true metal head 😈
@@fotografi4fun It would be interesting to hear Elizabeth and Ken Tamplin do a live stream together and talk vocals and coaching. I wasn't a fan of Shout but I liked Ken's solo albums.
The song was inspired by Cliff Burton - the band was watching The Ten Commandments over the Easter holidays, and when it came to the part of Death passing through the land to kill the first-born of prophecy, Cliff said "creeping death".
Thank YOU! CLIFFY BABY! KIRK DID CREATE THE RIFF I BELIEVE
CliffordLeeBurton METALLICA was the BEST METALLICA!
@@deniseclairesafalzoi
Kirk did create the riff when he was only 16 years old.
no by mustaine
This is really one of my favourite Kirk Hammett solos. His work on Ride The Lightning was just exceptional imo. He’s great all the time but man that album was something else
He's a genius. One of the all-time greats.
Whenever I play guitar, I play creeping death without fail. It's just such a great guitar track 🤘🏻😊 not overly complicated but it's intense! Love playing it. Kirks guitar work in the 80s was amazing.
@@sk8erhardyyeah i assume playing creeping death must be fun
I always thought Hetfield's voice sounded like a crowd of voices somehow. And you are so right about tapping in to something primal. 👌🏻
You nailed Hetfield down, he really developed a unique new nuance to his vocals that was percussive but also his timing for using those things was incredible. Using his voice to add even more power to a "stop" or "choke" point...it just wasn't expected and it really shocked the crowds.
It's really quite impressive. I've loved digging deeper into his voice!
@@TheCharismaticVoice You saw Jason Newsted sing the final part. He is doubling/backing Hetfield on vocals so those barking out of "Slaves", "Heed", "Faith", "Wait", etc.
I wouldn't change my age for anything cause I got to see them on their prime and experience this live many times! They were incredible! James is on fire in 2023 and has his voice and approach on point. React to "72 Seasons" Live in Amsterdam.
@@TheCharismaticVoice 🥰🤘🤘🤘
@@TheCharismaticVoice The thing that should not be live 1989 is a must, James harsh vocals at Full display
I think the percussive aspect comes from him being a drummer first.
1.6 million people went to that concert. Its one of the top 10 largest crowds ever gathered together in human history
Also go's to prove there were 1 6 million Russians who didn't care about politics. Music! The great equalizer
IIRC, this was right after the wall came down and was the first metal concert in Soviet Russia.
@@PaulDige it was the first big festival in the soviet union with american A-lister metal bands, yes. But you confuse quite a few things here. the wall came down in germany - the soviet union, paradoxically, was quite more liberal with its culture and arts for years at this point and had a lot of acts, even domestic metal bands, that would not have been able to play in east-germany in the 80s. so no, itn was not the first metal concert and it had only a very remote connection to the berlin wall.
thats not to say that the metal heads in the east didnt go completly nuts. it you want so see some of that, go check out the kreator shows in 90, in east berlin, really right after the wall came down. the band had to remind the crowd several times to please don't heart themselves while moshing out. its mental.
@@ithemba I think the confusion with the wall comes from a famous quote that then president Reagan said "Mr Gorvchev, tear down this wall"
@@ddinfant679 I think what he was meaning was the Iron Curtain and not the wall. It was the first outside metal concert as the music was banned from playing so it was all underground type stuff.
I can't tell you what it was like to hear them play this song at this show in 1991 but I just saw them again Aug 18th 2023 and they opened their 2 night show with this song. You asked what it's like to be in a massive crowd screaming "Die, die, die"? It's absolutely electrifying!!! I was screaming it right along with the other 100,000 people at the show. That primal energy plus the fact that you can feel the music vibrating in your chest is an experience you never forget. Incidentally, that show broke Taylor Swift's record of the largest crowd at ATT Stadium in Arlington Tx or as I will always thing of it, the new Texas Stadium.
Please check out some of their instrumentals like Orion which is like traveling through the constellation for me with a killer bass solo from original bassist Cliff Burton, The Call of Ktulu which is the last song with any input from Dave Mustaine (who played lead guitar before the band got really famous. Kirk took his place) and was inspired by HP Lovecraft's famous story, the Call of Cthulhu, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) which feats. a bass solo by Cliff Burton and To Live is to Die which is a tribute to Cliff . At the end, barely audible, James says the following words that Cliff would often say: "When a man lies he murders some part of the world These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives All this I cannot bear to witness any longer Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home." All very different songs but absolutely epic!! 🤘Rock On!🤘 Kelly
Oh yeah, I love the energy of a live metal show. It feels like the music is inside of you, part of you. There's nothing like it. I will go until they plant me. 😁🤘
Yep!! Me too!!@@metalmamasue3680
I was at the same show in Arlington, took my son for his first time seeing Metallica. Amazing concert all around, he didn't stop grinning for two days. A few weeks later we caught The Four Horsemen at Lava Cantina in The Colony, they did a great job of capturing that raw energy that I remember from the 80's.
Metallica live in the early 90’s is a surreal experience. The crowd becomes one with the band
Jason singing the final chorus will always make this the best version. And you should do Harvester of Sorrow from this show.
This is perfect metallica at their core. The best song, best performance, and best delivery. This is what makes a metallica fan
Idk, I put the '89 Seattle concert above this version. But not by much. It is a personal preference for sure, but you can't go wrong with either one.
I’ve been listening to this band for over 35 years. I’ve seen this live footage countless times. Watching you watch this for the first time totally transported me back to the first time I saw it. I had goosebumps the whole time. I love watching your videos. Your excitement and love, and acceptance for music is infectious. Thank you.
I’ve been to thousands of concerts and I can tell you there is nothing that will get your adrenaline going like the “die”part of the song in person! Last time I saw them and this came up tears just went flowing and I was so confused 🤣 it’s sooo good!
Yes, it's like the best form of therapy to get your strong emotions & frustrations out in a safe atmosphere with so many other people sharing the same experiences.
I have never, ever, felt unsafe for one single second at any metal show, including Slayer shows. It's amazing how normal everyone is and it's just such an amazing experience. It's so cathartic !!! I swear my sanity is thanks to aggressive metal. Those bad feelings don't build up, not when you can express them with music.
I believe even studies show that metal heads are well adjusted, successful productive people.
Maybe that's not the best way to express it, but it definitely works for me and my son. 😅
Now imagine being an alienated, lonely, angry teenage boy back in 1991, and discovering this. This music, this energy spoke to us. It brought us lovers of this music together, forming friendships, and lifelong brotherhoods. Powerful stuff.
Agreed, states this once upon a time metalhead teenage girl 😊
Yup. The aggression was like nothing we'd ever heard, and we liked it.
Jason was the most metal of em all. His rage presence in his stage presence was untouchable!
not by far.
@@DaniEl-lb7bb by far. The others were in Mickey Mouse bands.
I recall watching this concert for the first time around 20yrs ago!
You've brought back all the feels/goosebumps that I had through your reaction! Thanks for that & keep doing what you're doing my dear!
Your analysis on pretty much everything was spot on (headbanging vs hairflipping, growls/barks, the "ancient" sounding riff, the sustained energy, the stance James assumes while singing, etc). Well done, especially for someone relatively new to metal.
The great thing about Elizabeth is that she truly is experiencing the track and she's so expressive! Not just in her words and voice inflections but her facial expressions. You can't fake that! And her giggle/laugh to Kirk's guitar coming out of the bridge is the best! 🤘🏼
Still gives me goosebumps everytime i see those crowds...
I love this so much! I recently started watching your videos and I love your honest reactions, your excitement, Disney-princess look and the educated technical break downs, specially you enjoying rock/metal!
Your reactions are an absolute delight!!
Many thanks and do please, keep on keepin on!!
Unison chants like that in metal are just cathartic release of all those bad things hanging on you. Anger, fear, loneliness, whatever. Just shout it out with the thousands of other people releasing theirs. One of the best feelings in the world.
Nailed it!
In that case its a very tribal sign of apoartenance and common feel
Metal was my "poor white boy therapy." Sometimes still is 🤘 There is something very personal about metal music yet there is great community in it as well. Metallica really brought it to the masses with the Black Album. Us metal heads knew it's value long before Enter Sandman.
They were on fire during this era. Saw them every chance I got. Newsted was exactly the energy they needed to carry them forth in live settings.
А потом Хетфилд подстригся и музыка кончилась, началось то что и Металликой стыдно назвать.
Apart of this great performance and epic song, can we just pause and appreciate how beautiful she is, how cute, how witty she is, everything about her is lovely. Can't get enough of her.
She's one of the nicest and most beautiful women i've ever seen
To see the transformation of James Hetfields voice, go from this to the day that never comes, specifically the the music video version, because the picture painted to go along with the lyrics is amazing
Finally. THE GREATEST CONCERT EVER!!! Thank you Elizabeth for racting and analyzing this masterpiece
"Imaginations through the looking glass" would be mine, but this it up there for sure.
It's my second analysis from this venue, and I've loved both performances equally!
@@TheCharismaticVoiceoh yes I remember that. To be honest, I used the wrong sentence out of excitement. By finally, I meant the Creeping Death part of this concert ☺
@@TheCharismaticVoice By the way Mrs. Elizabeth, if you are planning to make a video about Harvester of Sorrow (if you are not planning,I really suggest you to plan it), i suggest this version of song. James sings like his life's depends on it and he's like pours out his childhood traumas out of his body.
Greatest concert ever? Rock in Rio 2001 could rival this one.
James Hetfield's voice has become one of the most remarkable and evolving things in Metallica and I would even say in metal.
I know metal bands were doing growls before James... but the man perfected the growl and it's become his signature.
I love this for you. Ive listened to this stuff my whole life, and seeing you listen for the first time and knowing whats coming is amazing. Also, you're amazing and i cant sing or anything but i love singing along to music anyways and i love your videos.
You should check Welcome Home from Seattle 89. I’ve never seen such versatility in James like in there. How he changes from clean to agressive on no time. From begininf to end a masterpiece. Clearly his prime. :)
There’s really no one more imposing and impressive than James. He’s a living legend.
They are unstoppable at this era. True Monsters Of his proffesion.
This concert can never be matched. The size, the energy. It was once in a lifetime experience.
Have you seen Pantera's set at the same festival? It comes very close.
I've watched this video at least 5 times now over the last few days. This was so much fun. Ive tried to think of a better way to put this, I just can't. (I've also watched your other metallica reactions and a lot of your others as well. I love your reactions to Bruce Dickenson, Geddy Lee and Howard Jones, 3 of my other favorite vocalists.)
Your "innocence" to something I've listened to at least a million times was so amazing. Your openness to such a different style of music that you might be used to with so breathtaking in itself. You're review and reaction to James and Jason vocals were so pure, and heartwarming. This is one of, if not the best metallica song they ever wrote. Lyrically and musically it's one of their best stories. And hearing your reaction as a vocal coach was amazing, and just backs how great of a vocalist James is.
Just want to tell you I love your reactions and ill catch up on your others posted and continue to watch the new ones. Thanks so much! I want to see/hear YOUR live singing!! 😉 you're so much fun to watch!
For anyone who doesn't know, this song comes from the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible (part of the Jewish Torah or first five books of the OT). This is about the plague of the firstborn from Exodus Chapter 11.
Late 80’s to early 90’s Hetfield’s voice before he hurt it touring the Black Album is by far the best metal voice of all time. His growl and aggression and punch he had was just perfect for the genre and it complimented the punchy/percussive guitar tones they had so well
It's adorable, watching her experience metal, and the underlying meaning.
Watching you slowly turning into a metalhead is soooooooooo satisfying. I envy you, because I can never hear these songs for the first time ever again. The irony about the whole «die» part, is that metal fans are the most wholesome, cool, open-minded music fans out there, who'd give you the shirts off their backs. Going to a metal show is like a family gathering.
2 things i will always remember about seeing them on rhe Justice tour. We started the DIE chant unprompted, and I yelled until I almost passed out. James went "youve heard this one".
They opened with Blackened, James backlit by a spotlight playing the opening rifff, and the crowd basically exploded with the pryrotecnics when the band joined in.
Im glad i got to witness this stuff
The bridge/breakdown section of the song is too good for words. And lol at Elizabeth quickly and quietly saying that she almost feels like headbanging.
Seeing them preform this LIVE is an experience too, thanks for sharing this video! Great reaction!
If you like the aggressive side of Metallica, the absolute peak is their song Battery from the Seattle 1989 performance. Nothing comes even close to touching it.
Creeping Death and And Justice For All for 89 as well... in my opinion the F'CKIN ENTIRE SHOW IS A MASTERPIECE
Metallica at the peak of their powers. They really ruled the earth in the late 80s, early 90s
I don’t know how I stumbled across your channel, but I am glad I did; except for the fact that I can’t stop watching! I fell in love with Metallica’s music when I was around 12-13. Initially, I imagine the primal nature of early Metallica helped channel all of the excess testosterone of a teenage boy. Then as I joined the high school band, I started to appreciate the true genius of the music itself and my passion for it grew. It is so incredible to watch somebody fall in love with their music almost instantly. I must say that I am a little jealous watching you experience Metallica for the first time. You are so expressive, and it really shows just how deeply this music touches you. What is amazing is that you appreciate it from an entirely different perspective as evidenced in the Creeping Death video. You mentioned how unnerving it was for you as a non-aggressive person to hear tens of thousands of people chanting “DIE” like that. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple of times and that part of Creeping Death doesn’t really convey a sense of hostility. It goes back to that primal sense of aggression and feeding off the energy of the band while they are feeding off your energy - it is an incredible symbiosis of developing a bond. I seem to recall you mentioning in another video that you are a new mom - I wonder if the energy of Metallica is tapping into your primal maternal instincts.
Thank you for making these videos! You truly have a deep passion and deep knowledge of music and it is a pleasure to watch you geek out and explore all of the elements that has giving Metallica such staying power.
This is quite possibly top 5 live performances ever. Across any genre. Like it or not. Top 5 live performances that have ever occurred. And Jason Newstead doesn't get nearly enough credit for how metal he is
God I love when this woman experiences Metallica!!!! This is INCREDIBLE!!!
I was grinning ear-to-ear the whole time. It's powerful.
Kinda sad that is not the Seattle 1989 version of Creeping Death, for me the best live version of this song ever, speaking of Seattle 89, i think the The Thing That Should Not Be version they play on it would be a greeat reaction, this performance is the peak of James agressive vocals for me, just raw and glorious
If she does Seattle, it should be Battery or Whiplash.
This video was my first listen that I can remember of Creep, so even when I listen to the album version, I still here this one, also this is the first live video of metallica I saw, which by the end of the song, my hair was going to get about 2 feet longer.
Just do a Binge & Purge watch party 🎉
I have to think since I haven’t seen any binge and purge reactions there’s some copyright issues because why would you not react to all those songs.
Belated congratulations on the baby. I live and breathe Metallica since I first saw them live on July 19th 1989. My respect for you as a musician, teacher and mother is immense. I'm a student of music (guitar) and no matter how old I get? I never quit learning. And have learned from your insight. Been playing since 1989 after seeing this band live and inspired me to learn, I was eleven years old at the time. I appreciate your respect guitar solo's. LOL.
If you are not into rock or metal, peace. But if you are into rock and metal, at the end of this performance you'll have goosebumps, wide eyes and smile/jaw dropped to the floor. I haven't found a single rocker that had not have that reaction in 25 years.
