@@cIappo896 Well, I personally like cliffs better and his vocal style. Jason yells while cliff growls. 1985-1986 is when cliff did vocals on creeping death and I think sounds more evil than Jason’s. And the part where it’s just Jason playing bass and Lars during the die part, on cliffs few last shows they did that before Jason and it was just Cliff and Lars
That is a true fact , I've heard that come out of kirks own mouth in an older interview I watched last year ,amazing , guys a literal living legend, all of them are
Alex this concert took place in the Tushinov airfield in Russia with the presence of the Russian army and an attendance 1.6 million people. It was a free concert titled Monsters of Rock. And it took place after the cold war between USA and USSR was over. It is one of the most iconic metal concerts in history.
That's pure speculation... Don't know what you base those numbers on but your guess is as good as any... Because this was a free event no one will never know how large the crowd was, the unofficial estimation reads in most media as 1,6 million but we will never know.
@@maggierezac5820 so u must be poor educated about eastern block,every country had strong metal and punk rock stage,communism was just defending us from crap like matalica.
James Hetfield gave an awesome interview to Joe Rogan on his podcast and they touched on this concert. Said the military folks thought people in the mosh pit were fighting, so the military started beating the kids with batons. He also mentioned the helicopters flew so low the people in the helos were smacking people with batons as well. Since I'm a huge fan, I listened to the entire podcast and it was great. The Russia concert part blew my mind. James also said that by the time the concert ended, the military guys were taking off their uniforms to join in on the head banging.
Did he also mention the deaths that occurred during their set? A few people crushed to death by the crowd trying to get closer to the stage, and a few beat to death by the soldiers...
So it was Newsted singing the few lines? I really thought it was Mustaine, as he looked quite similar, but that would not have fit into the bands history... 😅
This is exactly the same i thought, the whole concert is amazing but These two Songs ( Creeping Death and Harvester of Sorrow are so mindblowing away from the others ...
As if. Seattle '89 is the best live concert ever made and all their songs during that show are straight fire. Plus you don't have any shit off The Black Album.
Please check this out. I've dropped this in comments before about Harvester and you should check out one of their upcoming concerts this year! Just go!
1989-1994 Metallica is quite possibly the most powerful live juggernaut of a band Earth will ever know. Think of it this way...it takes NINE motherfuckers in Slipknot to get kinda near the energy of 4 dudes and they stillllll aren't even in the same realm. FACT: Jason Newstead alone has the vitality of 5 Grown Men
Robert was such a great addition to Metallica* Fixed that for ya, since pretty much every real Metallica fan knows Cliff was the best, and Robert is as close as your gonna get to Cliffs sound and style. :)
@@corey640 They were all great bassists but people think cliff was the best just because he was the og and he is but Jason had the best back up vocals and he is a great musician and so Robert is also a good musician
@@ryderwinfrey1782 No, I don't think Cliff was the best just because he was in the original lineup. I think that because he could make a bass sound like nobody else, wrote and performed solos that sounded like guitar solos, and he didn't use a pick like a little bitch like Jason. Jason couldn't play those old songs anywhere near as well as Cliff. Don't believe me? Watch the old live shows and see for yourself. Robert is the only one they could even find that could even come close to playing those old songs like Cliff when Jason left, and even James, Lars, and Kirk agreed that those songs hadn't been played so well since Cliff was alive. Memory serves, they said that playing with Robert during the auditions felt like they were playing with Cliff. Jason sucks and was a whiney little bitch who left the biggest band in the world to do his own little side project, which was awful, all because they didn't want him in a second band taking his focus away from Metallica. I respect those guys for that. They weren't willing to compromise and potentially hurt Metallica and disappoint fans just to appease Jason's ego about performing his own shitty songs.
Yep, the riff before the whole ‘die’ chant was written by Kirk when he was 16. The whole die chant was also Kirk’s I believe, something he had planned to use in a song when he was in Exodus but used it in Metallica instead. Kirk is an amazing guitarist
@@lordreehaw1267 he actually used it in an exodus song and it's called 'die by his hand'. The quality of the recording isn't great but the song has strong riffs
1989-1992 is my favorite era of metallica. They have a certain heaviness to the music, along with anger and attitude that just hits the spot for me. And I fucking love Jason's backup vocals on this song. \m/
Jason wasn’t as good as you think he was and he wasn’t focused on the band. He would pick a side project and do that and completely skip on the projects Metallica had planned
@@wyattsmith3212 He had ideas that dont fit metallica, side projects, that made james say he have to choose. The loss is for metallica here, they lost a great member..
Wasn't it like '92 or something, he blew it out touring for so long on The Black album? It was never quite the same again. He's better these days than he was like 10-15 years ago, but he's never been this amazing since that vocal injury.
I'm 53 and a Metallica fan since 1984. I love your videos and your passion for music/lyrics Alex. I'm not writing this to win a shirt or anything, just want to say how much I enjoy your videos and make some recommendations. Here are some Metallica song you would probably like; "I Disappear," from the movie Mission Impossible 2 is one of my favorites. Others are, 'Sad But True" "King Nothing," "The Unforgiven," "Battery," "Nothing Else Matters was a huge hit when it came out," "Until It Sleeps," "Harvester of Sorrow," "Hero of the Day, underrated great song not exactly heavy metal," "No Leaf Clover with The San Francisco Symphony" "My Friend Of Misery, great solo," "The Thing That Should Not Be," and the instrumental "The Call of Cthulhu," both inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," and the instrumental "Orion'" Also,"Whiskey in a Jar, "a great cover of a song by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, the video has as of now over 80 million views. In the song "Don't Tread On Me," I like the West Side Story "America" guitar riff in the beginning. Metallica has so many great songs this is really only just a sample. Thanks for making the videos.
You must had great time back in a days. I would love to party the shit out of me back then. Now music is nothing more than industry who pays slaves for using autotune. MetallicA fan since the beginning of this year, and I already know almost all songs from 1st 5 albums. I'm 18, and I aint proud of time i live in.
I'm a 57 year old Grandma & yep, those were the days! My son was born in 1984 & twin girls in 1985 & they were raised on everything from Metallica to Mozart! One of my 'proudest' Grandma moments was learning that my now 6 year old granddaughter had 'mastered' the art of Head Banging, to Metallica, Enter Sandman! I sobbed with Joy. And to be fair, she also enjoys the likes of Nightwish & Epica & every genre in between! Rock on all!
Im 41 and also big fan of metallica since I was 8 or 9 years old. I remember my first bands that I liked then. Beside metallica I started with alice cooper and sisters of mercy but metallica is still deep in my heart. I seen two concert of metallica in austria (wiena) and my homeland Slovenia (ljubljana 1999 06 07) ... those were the times....sorry my english......greatings to all metallica fans especialy the old ones
I'm only 19, and I was actually introduced to rock and metal before I can remember, but Mr. Crowley by Ozzy was the first one I do remember. First Metallica song I remember actively listening to was Whiskey In The Jar. I was out at my Grandpa's shop, sitting in the back of a broken down, rusty truck he was gonna work on, drinking a Sunkist and watching the sunset with him and my dad. I was six. That's probably the moment that defined me as a "metalhead".
As much as I like a Jason back vocal and his terrific energy during each performance, I still have to hands down to James vocal, his growling, his angst, that against the world attitude and his ability to garner the crowd, it was epic! I miss those days when they were still these angry young dudes. The energy was high and they just swore and f everyone in each concert. Well, when you go to their concert, you just need that thrash metal feel, you don’t want politeness, you just kinda want him to f you and I would expect that. It was heavy and it was awesome.
This show was a BIG deal. I was 20, the USSR was collapsing. This was the first American metal band to ever play there. The show was attended by like 250000 people
a friend of mine went to that show (from Estland ..or Estónia if you prefer) and he counted all of `em mofos :)) And Alex, if you think it sucked for the other bands there - no it didnt ..check out PanterA Domination from that same show and youll see! They both did great!
It is so amazing to follow your journey through metal music from a Hip Hop head to a Metallica fan. It brings tears of joy and nostalgia to me. Cheers from Brazil!
Always a pleasure to welcome a new member to the Metal Family..most important he realized what Metal is...something mankind doesn't deserve but gladly we are ALLOWED to have it
Alex like a Russian i tell you - this is most big metallica crowd AT ALL! ITS was FREE concert,so it was 500 000 - 1600000 people!!! IT was many polisman and they badly bead up people,so it was WILD! React Enter Sandman in this LIVE!
damn oscar wanted to say the exact same thing and then clicked on show the answers :( but heck yeah the whole show is dope and I absolutely love all the solos between the songs
@@deerhunter8742 I know. But how could it be stolen if the four horsemen was written first. Even though Dave wrote it. He was in Metallica at the time. So it wasn't stolen. He just decided to put it out again but faster and with different lyrics because he thinks faster = better. Sadly that's not the case :)
Metallica yess! If you love crowd participation check out iron maiden - fear of the dark live in rock in rio 2001,250 000 people singing along! gonna keep nagging until it happens :D
@@Van1973Auken Ha good point Lars went full bitch mode when downloading came along. I have forgiven him though. Never the less the first four albums are masterpeices of Trash/Metal.
@@Van1973Auken May be support the artists by purchasing their stuff rather than piracy? Especially if you wouldn't want piracy done to your stuff if your were an artist? Again, this could be a discussion and I speak in good faith. Anyhow, #MetallicaBeforeMusic. Nothing else matters. Yeah... Yeahh.. YeaAH YEAHH.... OOooohhh . . . 🤘
Actually it wasn't really "piracy" it was Napster. Shawn Fanning devised a way for peers to share files, and there was no law in place to support the language since downloading was such a new concept. As far as I remember, it wasn't illegal for some time. The laws were re-writen and established thanks to Lars Ulrich, whic is great for everyone, but that just wasn't enough. Members of Metallica and others tried suing Fanning to get reparations, but Fanning had already filed bankruptcy. So the only thing left was to sue a handful of fans that had been supporting the P2P file sharing. This was the dick move on Lars part. They lost fans, sold out, put out a crappy movie with footage of a bunch of whiny spoiled rich boys, and their music went down hill.
One of the few times when america and Russia come together to enjoy something they both love. Who ever says that metal doesn't bringing people together are people that should eat glass. 🤘🤘
Having seen Metallica in every version, I can safely say Jason was always the best part of their live performances. Dude is pure Metal and he just get's it.
No he is not. I'm so sick of assholes like you who give all the credit to Jason. He is good but he is not the only one in the band who is doing an amazing job wtf
80 years ago this month the Germans sent 4 million troops in to try and conquer Russia. They fought all through the winter and lost. 50 years later the USA sent Metallica and they did it in a day.
I repeatedly watched Metallica’s Creeping Death live performances (my favourite is the ‘93 in New Mexico) solely because of Jason Newstead. Not that others didn’t matter but man, with Jason this song is amplified & takes to a whole crazy new level. It’s just too phenomenal!
I was a 16yo boy in the soviet bloc at that time, it was a historic moment. There's nothing to get you high like freedom. I love watching reactions to this, and how most of the people reacting don't even understand the significance of what they're watching at the moment. :D
It's hard to make this recommendation after the awesomeness of "Creeping Death", but you definitely need to check out the Metallica S&M concert. It's Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony. It's two hours long, so I don't expect a reaction to the full concert. At least check out "No Leaf Clover". It was a brand new song that they had never played live before, so Kirk's solo was pretty much improvised right on the spot. If you want to react to the whole concert, you'd be the first TH-camr to do it, but that would be expecting a lot. "Minus Human" was new, too, but not nearly as awesome as "No Leaf Clover" 🤘😈
Draken0023 YESSSSSS! The S&M album is my all time fave! But the song that intrigued me most {from a musical perspective} was "One" with that amazing symphonic addition. I know that Alex has reacted to the song One already but yes, I agree to anything from the S&M album/concert! Did you know they were going to do a 2nd one, but the Symphony Director died unexpectedly? I was saddened. I was really looking for that 2nd release. Yeah, "No Leaf Clover" would be excellent! Rock on!
100% Agree, Still my favorite live song they have ever done and I'm psyched that they played it the other night in Minn, If they play it live in Philly in October I'll lose my freaking mind!
This has to be the most powerful moment in concert history. I can’t imagine another gathering with more energy- James voice here as well as the the rest of the band but James sounds excellent here
7:13 Jason screaming DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE in the background as the main riff begins again is the dopest thing ever known to man
Jason is a legend. Such a powerful backing vocal, Creeping Death ain't it without him
@@cIappo896 he gave 110% every single live performance
along with the heaviest thing known to man, the domination breakdown that happened in that same day. I don't know how those russians still alive after these 2 moments of history
The times he took over vocals were unreal. Honestly, after James decided to "save his voice", Metallica was better with Jason singing.
@@cIappo896 Well, I personally like cliffs better and his vocal style. Jason yells while cliff growls. 1985-1986 is when cliff did vocals on creeping death and I think sounds more evil than Jason’s. And the part where it’s just Jason playing bass and Lars during the die part, on cliffs few last shows they did that before Jason and it was just Cliff and Lars
Metallica basically played at the funeral of the Soviet Union lol
holly shit they did XD
Well it had a good run...
@Khorne Berzerker someone didn't pick up on the joke
Yup...And they did it without me there 😭😭😭
Hahahaha
I don’t really think he is a “hip-hop head” anymore.
Same bro
I don’t think anyone could b a hip hop head after seeing this😂
Cardinal Copia i know right is a couple of years of listening to metallica i bet hes gonna be head banging to cannable corpse
It's all a show
Gotta get views somehow..
Fun fact: 5:24 Kirk wrote this riff when he was 16 years old. Imagine being on stage and playing this on that day..
A dream come true
Everytime I listen to or play Creeping Death I remember that fact
That is a true fact , I've heard that come out of kirks own mouth in an older interview I watched last year ,amazing , guys a literal living legend, all of them are
Legend has it that people are still trying to leave that airfield.
@iury1986 I think he is reffering to the fact that people actually died during this concert...
Another legend tells the tale of those who are still trying to GET IN.
@@matthewbussy out of 1,500,000 people in one day, about 55 should've dropped dead simply because.

And it took place after the cold war between USA and USSR was over. It is one of the most iconic metal concerts in history.
AC/DC, Pantera, The Black Crowes and a local (Russian) hardrock act called E.S.T. was also part of the concert...
Its actually between 600k to 1000k, no way 1600k.
That's pure speculation... Don't know what you base those numbers on but your guess is as good as any...

He can watch every song from Moscow...all are great performances. Although, I would recommend Seattle '89 too.
Personally I think that are way craziest the scenes of "harvester of sorrow" with the helicopter
You right
i was going to suggest the same thing for the same reason. you see the crowd size way more in that vid.
such a gooooood song too
It reminds me of the over the top shit from Dethklok Metalocalypse
The HoS video also shows more of the tension between civilian and soldier.
1989-1994 Metallica is quite possibly the most powerful live juggernaut of a band Earth will ever know.

The band uses Chuck Norris to wipe their asses after a #2 visit to the bathroom.
It started officially for them in 86. That's when the REAL attention started to hit.

I miss those days when they were still these angry young dudes. The energy was high and they just swore and f everyone in each concert. Well, when you go to their concert, you just need that thrash metal feel, you don’t want politeness, you just kinda want him to f you and I would expect that. It was heavy and it was awesome.
Cowboys From Hell- Pantera
This needs to happen!!🤘🤘
that whole album.....
But off of Live 101 Proof...
Mr. Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne
Those solos are the best ever written!
Agustin Caniulao It’s a MUST
FINALLY holy shit YES! Now do blackened ^^
BLACKENED '89!!!
i think it would be better to react to a more recent show to compare their performance from then and now
yea but his first time should be reacting to them playing it in their prime and they were much better back then.
100% agree, robot.
@@TheRobotZ Go see them live the edit your comment, they are still insane.
"Safe to say I'm a Metallica fan"
*Reads title of video again*
This show was a BIG deal. I was 20, the USSR was collapsing. This was the first American metal band to ever play there. The show was attended by like 250000 people
Way more than that was there. 500,000 minimum.
You may well be right. It was a long time ago, the details are fuzzy
There were about 1.87 million people there ..or more
a friend of mine went to that show (from Estland ..or Estónia if you prefer) and he counted all of `em mofos :))
And Alex, if you think it sucked for the other bands there - no it didnt ..check out PanterA Domination from that same show and youll see!
They both did great!
it was a concert by ac/dc, metallica and pantera and there where 1,6 million people
1.1k likes and zero dislikes....
You done good Alex... you done good
Decent ratio
Creeping Death is absolute power !!!!!
Mf's started to come in now...4 for now
*1.8k
As of me typing it, 18 people suck lol.
Why can't I stop watching these reaction videos?!?
Ikr, it's addictive in some way that i cant explain...
His reaction to them keeps me watching and Very Proud to Be a MetalHead
Me too
Bcoz u r in need of other's approval of your liking.
Me too man, but maybe I can stop now cause I think this have to be the best one...
This is possibly the 117th time I listen to the version and I still get goosebumps whenever Jason takes the mic!
It is so amazing to follow your journey through metal music from a Hip Hop head to a Metallica fan. It brings tears of joy and nostalgia to me. Cheers from Brazil!
Always a pleasure to welcome a new member to the Metal Family..most important he realized what Metal is...something mankind doesn't deserve but gladly we are ALLOWED to have it
React to Battery live 1989 Seattle
Eazy "Muthaphukkin" E
)._.)
yup. this has to be next
🙌
Alex like a Russian i tell you - this is most big metallica crowd AT ALL! ITS was FREE concert,so it was 500 000 - 1600000 people!!! IT was many polisman and they badly bead up people,so it was WILD! React Enter Sandman in this LIVE!
You were there??
Oh,no)
I was born in 1993,so...
BUT i knew guys who was on this concert back there in 1991)
I loved the confused look he got when Jason stepped to the mic.
The audience was over a million people. It was the monsters of rock line-up tour. People died in the audience as well
actually there was roughly 1.6M people which is mind blowing
@@brezilianpope they stopped counting at 1.6 million
The Moscow performance is definitely one of the best, but check out Metallica Battery 89 Seattle! Oh and don't forget about Jinjer Outlander!
Just check out the whole 89 show man, everthing is great stuff there
damn oscar wanted to say the exact same thing and then clicked on show the answers :( but heck yeah the whole show is dope and I absolutely love all the solos between the songs
master of puppets at the 89 show was wicked
So... you like interraction with the crowd huh???
I'll just leave this here then...
Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden (Live)
Oh my god!!!
UP THE IRONS
In Chile*
@@yoyopy yep, specifically that one
that gives me goosebumps everytime
Kirk Hammett just melting everyone's face off :)
Oh wow he is the best at blowing your mind
The Four Horsemen by Metallica!!!
You mean Mechanix? Haha just joking
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please
@@rampager1990 mechanix sucks. The four horsemen is a MASTERPEICE lol
@@Double44inthemorning yeah because Dave Mustaine wrote it. They stole it
@@deerhunter8742 I know. But how could it be stolen if the four horsemen was written first. Even though Dave wrote it. He was in Metallica at the time. So it wasn't stolen. He just decided to put it out again but faster and with different lyrics because he thinks faster = better. Sadly that's not the case :)
I think you can take "Hip Hop Head" out of the title of your videos now. You're an official metalhead
I just posted the same thing, so you, sir, get a like for beating me to it.
Having "Hip-Hop Head" in the title will attract more viewers to his videos.
Fuck Tath Shit !
These kids don’t even know real hip hop...they grew up with absolute garbage...last good year for hip hop was early 2000s
its his click bait
7:48 That's why Metallica fans will always miss Jason
I have never clicked this fast
Layla Grace XD 0
That was their biggest concert ever...1,6 MILLION people
It isn't the biggest. Rod Stuart had a larger attendance
He says their biggest, not the biggest
@@hunterfreeman7830 sorry my bad. Didn't see their lol. Fridays for you
Metallica yess!
If you love crowd participation check out iron maiden - fear of the dark live in rock in rio 2001,250 000 people singing along!
gonna keep nagging until it happens :D
One of the best songs that have to be heard live, its 1000x better than the studio version!
Vectorizer Amen to that
I've seen this comment so many times he can't deny us much longer!
David Fuhr they are probably all from me 😂
This. This will blow your mind Alex.
Metallica will always be the kings of heavy metal.
👑 👊
you mean thrash metal?
Yeah don't miss understood they r a thrash band
Facts : "It sucks for every other band out there. How can you compete?!"
HA Correct
Hmmm. Maybe don't sue your fans...that usually helps.
@@Van1973Auken Ha good point Lars went full bitch mode when downloading came along. I have forgiven him though. Never the less the first four albums are masterpeices of Trash/Metal.
@@Van1973Auken May be support the artists by purchasing their stuff rather than piracy? Especially if you wouldn't want piracy done to your stuff if your were an artist? Again, this could be a discussion and I speak in good faith. Anyhow, #MetallicaBeforeMusic. Nothing else matters. Yeah... Yeahh.. YeaAH YEAHH.... OOooohhh . . . 🤘
Actually it wasn't really "piracy" it was Napster. Shawn Fanning devised a way for peers to share files, and there was no law in place to support the language since downloading was such a new concept. As far as I remember, it wasn't illegal for some time. The laws were re-writen and established thanks to Lars Ulrich, whic is great for everyone, but that just wasn't enough. Members of Metallica and others tried suing Fanning to get reparations, but Fanning had already filed bankruptcy. So the only thing left was to sue a handful of fans that had been supporting the P2P file sharing. This was the dick move on Lars part. They lost fans, sold out, put out a crappy movie with footage of a bunch of whiny spoiled rich boys, and their music went down hill.
Corey Taylor and Matt Heaffy covered this Song a few years ago and it's amazing!
One of the few times when america and Russia come together to enjoy something they both love. Who ever says that metal doesn't bringing people together are people that should eat glass. 🤘🤘
During communism people loved everything American, but it was illegal to show it.
Metallica fans 2019, 2020?
HELLO from KAZAKHSTAN 🇰🇿
Every time I listen to any Metallica song no matter how many times I’ve already heard it it still amazes me.
5:23 that air flipping is the sign of the start of the best part of the song
I am so jealous - I wish I could go back and hear this for the first time again! The adrenaline of seeing this crowd react for the first time is epic!
Jason Newstead backing vocals unreal. What a credit he was to the band.
1.2 million people... Russian army acting as security.... Greatest concert of all time!!!
And they beat 3 or 4 concertgoers to death during Metallica's set.
1.6 actually. And it was one of the greatest, but it it wasn't the biggest. Nor was it Metallica's show, exclusively.
One of the best live performances of Metallica... Always amazing to rewatch!
That’s why we all love Metallica, the greatest of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Agree!
Eh...disagree. I do love me some Metallica, but I'm still partial to 'Zep. It's all opinion...
From being a hip hop head to having a Metallica t shirt
So proud of you
yes Alex you can now say you have lived!
Jason is best part of this performance
Jason and hetfield
Having seen Metallica in every version, I can safely say Jason was always the best part of their live performances. Dude is pure Metal and he just get's it.
Hetfield to Newsted on a live show (Seattle '91 maybe?) : "You're too metal, man! You metal for your own good." :D
@@imrekalman9044 I think it was the Mexico City show.
But I remember what you're talking about
No he is not. I'm so sick of assholes like you who give all the credit to Jason. He is good but he is not the only one in the band who is doing an amazing job wtf
I would give anything to have been at that concert!
Jason on vocals was a beast, the search and destroy with him on vocals (live) is great
Your Expression when you see Kirk playing lead is EPIC
Halo or Locust by Machine Head. Attempt 5
do it!
Seconded locust!
Not the music video of halo though, it cuts out the best part.
Would also love for someone to finally react to descend the shades of night :c
Calle Johansson YESSSSSS
Davidian???
You will get the same energy hearing Iron Maiden- Fear Of The Dark live
Alex, ^this is a must react at some point^ !!!
"They play with authority" is right on.
The song title and theme came from Bandmates James and Cliff watching the 10 Commandments
Yes. You did it.
80 years ago this month the Germans sent 4 million troops in to try and conquer Russia. They fought all through the winter and lost. 50 years later the USA sent Metallica and they did it in a day.
😂😂😂
react to DEATH(flesh and the power it holds) PLZZZ....youll like the music and the lyrics....
Lack of Comprehension
His face when Jason started singing was priceless lol.
I like Rob, but i miss Jasons headbanging and his epic backingvocals...
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark (Rock In Rio 2001 version), you'll love it!
I repeatedly watched Metallica’s Creeping Death live performances (my favourite is the ‘93 in New Mexico) solely because of Jason Newstead. Not that others didn’t matter but man, with Jason this song is amplified & takes to a whole crazy new level. It’s just too phenomenal!
So mad that drones weren't available back then to show the massiveness of this event!!! Love it! Love the reactions btw bro, amazing!
The best concert I’ve ever been to was a Metallica show. They are unbelievable live
nightwish something
powerwolf something
epica something
basically symphonic/power metal. we need some here. alex, buddy cmon man. seriously
"Damn maniac wizard" best description of Kirk's playing that I've ever heard
Dream Theater - Under a Glass Moon (LIVE score)
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
Another band who are masters at their craft, just with some Prog Metal!
YES!
Double yes!!
Triple YES!!! Dream Theater is so underrated imo, but I love them!
Absolutely! may I add octavarium?
@@eltalivanbombardero absolutely!
I get chills every time I hear Newsted do the chorus. Holy fucking shit he was an animal. Metallica's stage presence isn't the same without him.
GIVE
US
GOD
DAMN
SABATON!!!
GHOST DIVISION!!!
Shit up ghost is a jazz core band
@@nickcynn42 shit up?! Wouldn't that be messy? Ghost Division is a song. Google it, it's amazing.
@@sladjanteodosin4607 lol touche, still didn't like it but still lol, just not a sabaton fan
Type O Negative - Black No 1
Great song
Album Version.
I say Full Album REACT to Bloody Kisses!!
Thanks for listening to this one. My ears were craving it.
Loved the reaction. The look on your face as you watched this was PRICELESS!! 🤘Rock On!🤘
I was a 16yo boy in the soviet bloc at that time, it was a historic moment. There's nothing to get you high like freedom.
I love watching reactions to this, and how most of the people reacting don't even understand the significance of what they're watching at the moment. :D
Nobody will ever see a crowd like this again. Classic
XD I think your eyeballs just melted, Alex! LOL Metallica was at their peak at that point & kicked some serious ass. Glad you enjoyed it!
Seeing Creeping Death played live in person is worth the ticket price. Regardless of what else they may play.
Behemoth - Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel
Nothing Left by As I Lay Dying
It's hard to make this recommendation after the awesomeness of "Creeping Death", but you definitely need to check out the Metallica S&M concert. It's Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony. It's two hours long, so I don't expect a reaction to the full concert. At least check out "No Leaf Clover". It was a brand new song that they had never played live before, so Kirk's solo was pretty much improvised right on the spot. If you want to react to the whole concert, you'd be the first TH-camr to do it, but that would be expecting a lot. "Minus Human" was new, too, but not nearly as awesome as "No Leaf Clover" 🤘😈
Draken0023 YESSSSSS! The S&M album is my all time fave! But the song that intrigued me most {from a musical perspective} was "One" with that amazing symphonic addition. I know that Alex has reacted to the song One already but yes, I agree to anything from the S&M album/concert!
Did you know they were going to do a 2nd one, but the Symphony Director died unexpectedly? I was saddened. I was really looking for that 2nd release. Yeah, "No Leaf Clover" would be excellent! Rock on!
100% Agree, Still my favorite live song they have ever done and I'm psyched that they played it the other night in Minn, If they play it live in Philly in October I'll lose my freaking mind!
This has to be the most powerful moment in concert history. I can’t imagine another gathering with more energy- James voice here as well as the the rest of the band but James sounds excellent here
MANOWAR - WARRIOS OF THE WORLD
EvaLun * can never go wrong with Manowar
shitthisguyagain This is factually correct. If metal is what you seek, Manowar will always deliver.
