Joseph Boer I'm not talking about their playing, I'm talking about their gear. Their current sound is terrible, it sounds weak and the distorion muddy instead of how they used to sound so heavy and the distortion was crystal clear. Lars' white kit sounded amazing too, why did he change it?
I saw them live on this tour, stage left with Jason in front of me. Hardest worker I’ve ever seen. Never understood why they canned such a killer sideman.
I gotta admit clicking on the timestamp was pretty tempting but I decided to listen in utter anticipation instead, in order to honor the performance better
That snare is a shotgun, the bass is Godzia burping from the bottom of the Marianas Trench and Hetfield's voice is God passing a kidney stone made of broken glass and vinegar while eating sand.
@Evyatar Hadar Old comment, but look for "Tama Artstar II". Alternatively you could look for a Granstar or Superstar, but all are quite difficult to find.
@@jantzenallen3077 The best you can find these days are Tama Rockstar series, they are beginner kits of the 80's but they come in the monstrous kits/sizes.
@@tomboomeronacrv This was recorded on a tape thats why it's so poor in quality. Tapes back in the day could capture 480p60 max. That was the standart on TV. Films could capture colored video at 4K back in the 70's. The displays weren't even close to 4K at the time so we can only see them in their best quality today. Some even claim that when 8K resolution becomes more mainstream, old films from 70's and later could be viewed at nearly 8K. There is Pink Floyd's 1988 concert go search it up and it's nearly 4K on TH-cam because it was recorded on a 35 mm film, the highest quality film. Thats insane. Anyways I love video quality shit so I invaded thiis comment with weird stuff but I hope I enlightened you.
@@tomboomeronacrv th-cam.com/video/WFUfOpEMIR8/w-d-xo.html Here is the link for the 1988 Pink Floyd footage. It's not 4K but still 1080p.

It was recorded in 1995 on a tape and the max resolution for it is 480p even though it has been remastered two times I believe.
Cant believe my big brother was at some festival/open air thing in Germany back in 92 where they played. He was to drunk and didnt notice when they were on. Oh my effing god Thomas... 💪
@@agentnugent1021 One definitely has my favourite lyrics. edit: nvm, now that I think about it, that honor goes to Anesthesia Pulling Teeth. Can't beat "bass solo take one"
This lineup at their peak .... they played their hearts out for two hours, show after show, and there was energy to spare. I would choose to live the decade 1986-1996 over and over again for a lifetime if I could.
One can only dream of standing in front of a million people playing a show like this. Imagine how loud it would be, and the power you hold in your hands!
mallarysangel The Black Album is one of the highest selling albums of all time. The album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and yeah it's still increasing
Motor78 -- Before non tangible digital media became widespread, I would buy this CD several times because I wore the others out handling them. Had two stolen, and probably bought the same CD at least 4 or 5 times. When my collection was stolen, this was the first album I replaced each time. I miss my gold plated one. I wish I had the Moscow concert video in HQ. Surely there's a better copy out there. And if I ever invent a time machine, I'm going there. Even if I'm 80.
I know some old timers who went to this gig and were not far from the stage. They say it was the loudest cleanest meanest sound they ever heard in their life.
@@dermilfschreck most American markets didn’t operate in Russia at this time since it was still apart of the Soviet Union so it is likely most people didn’t have it
This Moscow concert was killer. I really want to watch it in full. It was a pleasure listen this full bootleg on black album anniversary box. Metallica between 1990 until 1994 was in their best moment ever. Thanks for sharing!
Jezus christ that snare is amazing, the bass is cool, Hetfields voice is incredible and the solo was perfect, this is one of the best life versions of this song
Well you can say what you want about Lars... but in this era, he was unstoppable. That powerful beat blows most technical shit out of the water because it just GROOVES man.
playing in front of that many people would be a fucking dream come true! Imagine the feeling you'd get, the power and intensity of the sound needed for that kind of scale
RickGrimes41 YES! At 4:39....I've watched that part literally a thousand times. His growl is just so raw, so angry, so incredibly powerful! HAAAATE, IM YOUR HATE!!
To all the peole saying bad things about Lars's drumkit! Recently in an interview he said it 's the same he used since 1986! In live shows it 's amazing! The bass drums is so powerfull, that it shake's your entire body! I've been to the Big 4 in Sofia! It was amazing! They sound amazing live! Well not like in 1991 but pretty awesome! Go to a live concert and u will see! About the drums and guitars in videos its all about the mixing! Nowadays its pretty bad mixing! Wish it was like 1991 but people change and grow older ! Enjot the fakt that there was and is such thing as Metallica! For me - they are GODS!
This shit is real, 4:35 darn I still don't understand why today if we have better technology and stuff and everything, sometimes concerts do not sound as loud and energetic as this.
ironically, that better tech is why it sounds weaker. Today they use a lot of processing and virtualization to achieve a more "consistent and even" sound. Better at the board and cleaner for working on later for live records and such. BUT, a byproduct of this is you lose a lot of the power and variance. Maybe for jazz or an orchestra that's better? But not for metal. I too miss the old days when it was less filtered and more raw.
Hetfield's voice is absolutely killer.
J Stone amen
Was
He looks kind of an "Adult man" but his voice sounds like when he was young XD
Until Load.
So was jasons
It'll never sound better than this
You`re right - it`s sad but true
LOOOL haha xd
Live shit Mexico 1993
sad but true lolapalooza 1996.
Well.. you were wrong in 92 🤣
That snare alone is worth the price of admission.
that snare is more than $1000
+Infinity and worth every penny.
Joseph Akbrud also tuning and a great audio engineer
Indeed. Randy Staub does good work.
It was a free concert.
I wish James never aged......that VOICE! It's incredible!
but kinda fuked up, Black Album stoled his voice
D b K more like alcohol stole his voice. It just so happened that it blew out recording that particular album.
Generic Gaming Commentator 16250 it blew out coz he decided to cover So What! which was well out of his vocal range
KiLl3R Mem3StAR he still had voice back in 1999 watch the woodstock concert but after he lost it forever
Taamsay 25 I though it blew out while recording...or performing "so what" due to improper singing/screaming
This is how guitars should Sound, singers should sing and Drummers should sound
And Jason with the 6 string bass going
Too bad Metallica forgot about it years ago

Most of that is due to the people setting it all up. Whomever is the engineer behind it all is responsible for the sound for the most part. :P

1991 Day on the Green....probably the best

The most blisteirng terrifying live performance of this song ever. Terrifying in a good way.
Best live version of this song ever
Realno , ovde su razbili
Sound really great , best live !
Probably the best drum sound I have ever heard in my life
You know this is old school when James refers "Sad but true" as new stuff
1991 in the title gives it away as well
