I've had a liking for metal since Ozzy and Sabbath. I must admit, waking up to Sandman when it premiered on MTV while I was drunk as fuck, blew my mind.
1991 in Moscow. It was the first time a western metal band had been allowed to put on a concert in the Soviet Union, and a people who'd been isolated for nearly 50 years got the chance to experience the world outside of communist Russia. You bet they all showed up. :D Fun Fact: Metallica holds the record for playing a show where the highest percentage of the population of the continent were in attendance. They played in Antarctica, to a group of 120 scientists at Carlini Station, in 2013. They also became the first band to play a concert on every continent on Earth.
There was no torment in the Soviet Union. People were educated, well-read, everyone had a job and housing. Tyranny came in the 90s with Western culture.
@@TheOtherGuys2 It is strange that reactions to this concert went viral on TH-cam exactly a year ago. Although Metallica is the band of my youth. And I have all their albums since childhood. Does the White House again want to help Muscovites gain new freedom from Tyranny?
I wouldn't have even cared if I was one of the 53 people who died in the crowd if I was there. Already in heaven at that concert. Satisfied end to life!!
The importance of that statement cannot be over stated. This was literally their first true taste of freedom. I was in the Army at the time, and this event meant a lot of things on many levels.
Yea.... chill and Metallica don’t go together😂😂😂 To be on that stage with that...AMAZING!!!! Just a sea of ppl.... I wonder if we’ll ever get to concerts like that again😢
Man, loved your reaction. That was a magical moment. Think for a mnute, the greatest metal band of all time in their prime, playing for a million kids who were just discovering freedom after more than 80 years of tyranny. That crowd is what hope and dreams look like.
As a black man who was liberated from the hip hop, RNB, pop, rap world almost 15 years ago when I was in high school. These reactions by my fellow black people makes me smile. Real music is out there and it is rock and roll and heavy metal. Rock on 🤘🤘🤘
@@rrace002 I don't know. I can't really give you an answer other than I never felt it. I never clicked with it. I have my 3 or 4 rappers that I listen to and occasional songs from other genres but 95% of my music is rock and roll and heavy metal.
@@rrace002 No. I was 16. How would I differentiate that? Plus they were looked upon as cool. Everyone who was black, white, indian, arab, etc. everyone wanted to be a rapper, act like them, talk like them, imitate them. Except me. So I just didn't connect with it. That's all. I don't think I thought of the lifestyle at that time. Plus, if we are talking lifestyle, let's not compare rappers to rock artists. We all know the stories... so let's just leave it there 😂
Metallica doesn’t know the meaning of stage fright. It’s the stage that should be frightened. Metallica are the kings of love shows.They are the only band to play all 7 continents. They are the only band to play live in Antarctica. They said given an opportunity they will stream a show in space.
SykosymatiK no no no. Lol. There’s definitely not more than 300 million people there . That’s probably like 1.5 million or maybe more but definitely not 300 million lol

Bro I was so proud of you when I saw you going for the pause button during the solo and you caught yourself and pulled back. You learned your lesson well grasshopper.
@Francis Sailo I've been to both and Maiden is always absolutely epic - but so is Metallica. I'm personally more of a Metallica fan, so to me Metallica prob beats Maiden.... still, they're top 2, closely followed by Slipknot 🤘
This is how we get our Aggressions out man...Rockers and metlers are some of the nicest people you can meet Brother. Glad your enjoying the Metallica ride...I started my ride 30 years ago and it's ingrained in my DNA now...thank you Metallica.
Absolutely agree, i visit only rock and metal pubs and scream my lungs out and head band to the max. Once the music fads, I am the most happiest and the most satisfied person in the world.
I love your reaction along with rocking out/recognizing the talent of the amazing live performance of a monumental moment in history of a live Metallica concert…
Open Air and Festivals= adult diapers... After all you get to the stage as early as possible to get closer to the Front so you can see. If you need to "go" you will have to fight your way out of the crowd,wait in line at the porta-potty you have no chance to get your spot back. And worst of all you miss most of the concert
Would have loved to switch... But hey, at least we also got the Scorpions. To my family "Wind of Change" has been a perrsonal staple each year on November 9th ever since.
This was an invitation Free show called the Monsters of Rock Concert, when lifting the Iron Curtain to the west, I think Time Warner set it up and AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera and Motley Crue etc, the location was on a Russian Air Field.
Metallica is what the military refers to as a “ force multiplier” .... if you see them live and in person, they feed off the crowd’s energy and multiply it, the crowd then feeds off this multiplied energy, and so on and so forth. The first time I saw them live, I didn’t sleep for 3 days, and when I did it wasn’t a crash. You mentioned the whole band being a cheat code... Cliff Burton (rip) was the cheat code. You NEEED to see Anesthesia/ Pulling Teeth. For Whom the Bell Tolls 1985 Day on the Green is another NECESSITY..
I've been lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. The combination from James pumping up the crowd with song and spoken words. There are times that Metallica can just play, the crowd will sing the songs. Even after the concerts, I was playing Metallica on the way home.
My man, this what im talking about.. im 50 and they still do this to me.. my football teams stadium last year, etihad stadium. it was absolute heavens open fat rain, and pissed it down.. oh the pure joy of it..
Monsters of Rock was a free concert at an airfield outside Moscow, AC/DC and Panthera was also there. People came and kept coming. They stopped counting at 1,6 million People. Metallica gave it all. Went out full throttle and increased power.
That was the first time that people from Russia got to see any bands from outside the USSR perform live, so there were thousands of people in attendance
AC/DC also performed. This was one of the biggest concerts in history in terms of popularity. Almost every group there were headliners..and they were all in one show
This was after the Russian Coup, Fall of the USSR. 2million+ people attending, far surpassing "official" numbers because the military couldn't handle all the people. Military and Metal heads were fighting, Soldiers going AWOL too. One of the greatest live concert s of all time and at the time(1992) this was the largest concert of all time.
@@metalmellie4371 Wohhh sis, your way out of date but that's ok. Rock of RIO is always still around 2mill people every year. Live AID Africa was the largest concert of all time with with 3.3mill people. Monsters Of Rock Concerts have always been massive. Download in England is pretty huge. Wackin Fest is big, not as big. Plenty of concerts around the world that host Metal concerts and they are still the largest.
Swaggy you're so genuine dude...i love your head banging.... you can't listen to metal...METALLICA... WITHOUT HEAD BANGING.....its an involuntary reaction!

It’s one of the things that caused me to become a guitarist myself. But those memories are sooo old. 30 years old.

@@viktorskold9593 - Yeah, i live in Seattle. They did their best concert ever there in 1989 but i was still listening to rap until 1991. But if i had my choice i'd rather see Babymetal at the Paramount in Seattle. They were there twice before i knew they existed.
1st rule of metallica...never pause metallica 2nd rule of metallica "YEAH!" 3rd rule of metallica.....scream the band name has hardcore as you can because Metallica.....this has been your metallica PSA please enjoy the show YEAAAAAAH!
If there was over one hundred thousand people at the Moscow music festival and 99% of them could not speak English yet they could scream for Ozzy Jon bonjovi and Motley crue maybe it ain't gonna take tanks and bullets to unify the world just guitars
Those 1.6 Million people had their real taste of freedom that day. I can't imagine the feeling of being at this concert 1 month after the failed coup d'état, knowing that there will be one day when you will be able to listen and do whatever you want
Best reaction I've seen thus far...this man truly seems to show a genuine reaction. This video will go down as one of the most remarkable concert of all time. This event was a huge part of history with the fall of Soviet Union. The energy level of the crowd is beyond words and speaks for itself.
There is no chilling out at a Metallica concert. Literally every single part of it is designed to turn you into a raving animal...for five hours straight
IT'S A MADNESS MY MAN...PLAIN AND SIMPLE, YOU COULD HAVE STAGE FOUR CANCER AND GO TO A METALLICA CONCERT AND BE SPINNING ON YOUR HEAD! THEY ARE LEGENDARY AND STILL PACKING ARENAS AND STADIUMS AROUND THE WORLD IN THEIR FIFTIES!
80s and 90s metal bands are not everyone's cup of tea. It not called pop (popular music) for a reason. I would say anyone from any background would know Adult contemporary and soft rock. All the hall and oats and phil collins/ Genesis Michael Jackson all that music I would say is well known

This concert took place at the Tushino airfield in the Moscow region, if you look closely, you can see a green lawn in the background. And it looks like a desert because it was the first concert of Western Rock bands in Russia, not only Metallica performed there. And there were 1.6 million people at the concert, so it's like a desert.
I believe there were 1.6 million people in attendance, if Google is correct. Also, the actual jumping of the crowd showed up on the earthquake seismic meter/graph.
That crowd grows by the day. Lmao! On the Pantera home video with footage from this show, the crowd was mentioned at just under 900,000. By about 10 years ago it was up to a million. Now you're adding an extra 600,000? Bill and Ted have been busy wisking metal heads to great historical live shows in their time travelling phone booth.
Metallica may go down in history as the most talented band of all time. Between James Hetfields distinct voice, KirkS GOD TIER guitar skills and Lars GOD TIER drums they have it all.
They also toured for TWO YEARS straight during this album tour, non stop, for two years, sometimes more than one show every single day. 730 days STRAIGHT.
From what I heard of this show, roughly half a million people were there. It was free. You just had to show up. =) I imagine the ground sunk in quite a bit from all those people jumping at once. XD
Fun fact: the Moscow show was also free for the crowd to attend. This was when Time Warner wanted to get their foot in the door. So people just showed up. Pantera was also performing to the crowd in Moscow

Watching black folks listen to country is great as well. There’s so much soul in a guitar. It’s something special.
I just love seeing young folks react to history! One guy said it best with, "they played at the funeral of communist tyranny".

Hitler sent the German army to conquer Russia, and he failed. America sent Metallica!!!

That was in Moscow. Part of a huge Metal Show. Must react to Pantera "Domination" believe they were part of it if I'm not mistaken. 🤘
They didn't have stage fright, they had cocaine.
Jeah yeah, yeah, jeah
And a shot ton of liquor
Legend has it that there are still people leaving that concert for home
1st rule of metallica...never pause metallica
2nd rule of metallica "YEAH!"
3rd rule of metallica.....scream the band name has hardcore as you can because Metallica.....this has been your metallica PSA please enjoy the show YEAAAAAAH!
If there was over one hundred thousand people at the Moscow music festival and 99% of them could not speak English yet they could scream for Ozzy Jon bonjovi and Motley crue maybe it ain't gonna take tanks and bullets to unify the world just guitars
"I like a good crowd"
*sees crowd...
"WTF!? Holy S**t...😮"
When someone asks what type of music I like my answer is always "Yes". How can someone focus on one single genre.
Right!?!? It's a FEAST out there, I refuse to limit myself to one or two genres. 🤘✌️💜💚💛
when I saw a dark-skinned man react positively to metallica, then I got hope for humanity, love you man
Those 1.6 Million people had their real taste of freedom that day. I can't imagine the feeling of being at this concert 1 month after the failed coup d'état, knowing that there will be one day when you will be able to listen and do whatever you want
If you want your mind totally blown, react to “For Whom the Bell Tolls” 1985 Day on the Green ... with Cliff Burton’s Bass solo intro..
Can you imagine the energy flowing off that crowd? I can feel it from here!
The entire time I watched this concert I was thinking...where's the friggin bathrooms 🤔😁😂🤘
Pretty sure people were like sardines in a can. Sweated all that was consumed out 😃
Bathroom is where you stand. 👍👍👍
lolllll
So was I
Wherever you happen to be standing at the time
That's not a concert, that's a revolution.
Best reaction I've seen thus far...this man truly seems to show a genuine reaction. This video will go down as one of the most remarkable concert of all time. This event was a huge part of history with the fall of Soviet Union. The energy level of the crowd is beyond words and speaks for itself.
So fun watching you react to this. Pretty much ANY cut from this performance or the Seatle 1989 show is a MUST. Great vid, man!
When you see a crowd like this do you wonder.... where the F was I? lol.
There is no chilling out at a Metallica concert. Literally every single part of it is designed to turn you into a raving animal...for five hours straight
This react of yours is my favorite so far! Metallica is absolutely a legend!!
If your in a band or a musician, this is a glimpse into heaven.
Lol hes said Metallica is a cheat code lolol that's so freaking perfect!!
IT'S A MADNESS MY MAN...PLAIN AND SIMPLE, YOU COULD HAVE STAGE FOUR CANCER AND GO TO A METALLICA CONCERT AND BE SPINNING ON YOUR HEAD! THEY ARE LEGENDARY AND STILL PACKING ARENAS AND STADIUMS AROUND THE WORLD IN THEIR FIFTIES!
AC/DC>
just so you know , that crowd was 1.6 mil just after the wall fell, crazy free Russians who had a blast
Love your grind my guy.
Angelous Bacon You're wrong, the Wall fell down in 1989, the Soviet Union in 1990.
I don't believe that there is someone who don't know Metallica! It must be fake ;)
I believe it. I’ve heard of Metallica, never listened before now, I’m 56.
80s and 90s metal bands are not everyone's cup of tea. It not called pop (popular music) for a reason. I would say anyone from any background would know Adult contemporary and soft rock. All the hall and oats and phil collins/ Genesis Michael Jackson all that music I would say is well known
Naw bruh. Believe, there are people that live in a bubble. One could say everyone has heard of Wu-Tang Clan but there are people that haven't.
No kidding! I still have cassette tapes! I’m 55. The song had a message
Many say this concert had a crowd estimated between 500,000 and 3,500,000 people, with some unofficial estimates as high over 2,000,000.
1,600,000

If I would let you guess this crowd size you would say 3 million...kid.
But it was ~175k Queen Knebworth
you invented those numbers lol
You need to check metallica battery live in seattle 1989... That will blow your mind
This was perhaps the largest concert ever! 1.6 million estimated in attendance! And no, they did not let it phase them!
false
I was at a Metallica concert in '92 in Italy. I consider myself a lucky guy 😎🤟🏻
This concert took place at the Tushino airfield in the Moscow region, if you look closely, you can see a green lawn in the background. And it looks like a desert because it was the first concert of Western Rock bands in Russia, not only Metallica performed there. And there were 1.6 million people at the concert, so it's like a desert.
I believe there were 1.6 million people in attendance, if Google is correct. Also, the actual jumping of the crowd showed up on the earthquake seismic meter/graph.
Take a drink every time he says bro. We would all be dead.
or, depending on your libation of choice, well-hydrated
Naah man, I'm drinkin beer and I'm Finnish. I wouldnt even get drunk yet, just maybe if I was doing shots? :D
Hard to imagine at one point in time there were less than this many people on the entire planet
Watching the joy you're getting out of seeing them perform in front of 1.6 million people makes me just as happy as when I watched it back in the day
That crowd grows by the day. Lmao! On the Pantera home video with footage from this show, the crowd was mentioned at just under 900,000. By about 10 years ago it was up to a million. Now you're adding an extra 600,000? Bill and Ted have been busy wisking metal heads to great historical live shows in their time travelling phone booth.
@@ryanmounce2850 Who cares? 1.6 million, 900,000 a shit load of people either way.
@@P4PKing not doubting that. Just saying the difference between 900,00 and 1.6 isnt exactly chump change. Thats an additional 700,000. Lol
Drinking game. One shot every time he says “bruh” lol
How about one shot every time he stops the video? Wasted in three minutes.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm in either way! How about every time he says "Men-tallica"! 🤣🤘🤘🏽🤘🏿☠
Or pause!
@@rrhames9778 lol. I caught that too. Somebody needs to tell my boy its Metallica Not Mentallica. Lol
You want energy. Metallica "The Thing That Should Not Be" live in Seattle 1989. You won't regret it
Harvester of sorrow from the same show too
Stormtroopers of death(S.O.D)..live at Budokan ..You should watch.....I think ,it is crazy than this concert..
More like master
Loving your reaction man! Love the song and watching you get into it made my morning!! Respect bro 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Metallica may go down in history as the most talented band of all time. Between James Hetfields distinct voice, KirkS GOD TIER guitar skills and Lars GOD TIER drums they have it all.
Lars is frowned upon by a lot of drummers coz he’s overrated and doesn’t even practice. He’s shit
They also toured for TWO YEARS straight during this album tour, non stop, for two years, sometimes more than one show every single day. 730 days STRAIGHT.
From what I heard of this show, roughly half a million people were there. It was free. You just had to show up. =)
I imagine the ground sunk in quite a bit from all those people jumping at once. XD
More like 1.6 million people
The story behind this show is amazing. Gives me chills.
Love your energy man. Had a blast watching this.
Fun fact: the Moscow show was also free for the crowd to attend. This was when Time Warner wanted to get their foot in the door. So people just showed up. Pantera was also performing to the crowd in Moscow
The intro song, Ecstasy of Gold is one of my favorites.
Are we just going to ignore the helicopters in the background
imagine if one crashed into the crowd!
Man With Two Eyes gta real life
they are trying to disperse the crowd. didnt seem to work lol
Why are you surprised? Havent you ever seen Russian dash cam vids?
I've seen the concert video many times and watched a dozen or so reactions. Yours was by far the most fun reaction to watch! 👍
Got to see Metallica Live Feb '19. They blew me away. Fantastic show! New subscriber! I loved your reaction.
