      @I Just Wanna Talk About Games thank you for your opinion. I don’t expect it but hey, if somebody wants to, that’s up to them. I don’t monetize or use patreon so people don’t have to “pay monthly” and I do these because I find it a fun challenge for myself. but hey, since you came and clicked on this video, I obviously got your attention, so I must be doing something right. 😆

      @jayrogers754 if you want to see Master of Puppets, then I highly recommend checking out Derek’s master class cut of that song.

      @jayrogers754 yes, Derek makes similar style videos. we respectfully don’t do the same songs. there are so many great songs to do and these videos are very time consuming, so we try to give the viewers more options to watch. hence the reason I highly suggest checking out his video.

    I remember my Special Forces A Team being sent over there to provide private security for all the bands. I was backstage standing beside a Russian soldier and he was crying. I asked if he was okay and he said " yes comrade, yes my brother. I may call you brother yes?". I said da it would be my honor. He then said " You will never be able to understand the joy in my heart seeing my people so happy and having so much fun.". Then he wiped his tears and stood rigid and tall. We have kept in touch ever since. Hello Mikhail Dolvetchkov I hope you see this.

    I remember this. The communist government had just collapsed. Freedom in any way for decades was being experienced for the first time in Russia. The record labels asked if they could send some bands to play. It was approved. Metallica announced a FREE concert near Moscow. They expected a couple hundred thousand maybe. 1.6 million came to rock out. Absolutely legendary concert. The largest in human history. Probably still to this day.

    few understand the true significance of this. These people had been under the control of Communism their entire lives. When the Wall fell and Soviet Communism fell this is one of the first times these people could be completely free, a feeling the current woke generation takes for granted. The entire world let out a sigh of relief and the people most silenced let themselves celebrate. It was truly epic

    I watched this concert on MTV in 1991 it was called the Moscow music peace festival there were many many many metal bands there cause metal music was not played in Russia so all these American metal bands went over to give all the fans a show, that's why u see so many Russian cops all over to keep fans inline. It was a huge deal in 91 to have peace with Russia and 30yrs later we're still trying.

    Metallica and other groups were the support acts for the headliners, ACDC from Australia. I watched the whole concert but the quality of the filming was not good. The Soviets didn't have any real experience of filming rock concerts so didn't have the cameras positioned correctly. Plus, the organisers had originally only planned for around 500,000 so when 1.6 million turned up... they were shocked. It was a free concert put on by the Russian Government to try to please the people. Three months later, the USSR officially collapsed and imploded. An historical time.

    Imagine that 6 yrs earlier Metallica was an opening band for Ozzy. In 1989 the Berlin wall came down. In 1991, the USSR was falling apart, the Iron curtain was coming down. Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC and the Black Crowes was the first Western music some of these guys had ever heard, even bootleg tapes was worth gold behind the Iron curtain. The military helicopters were real, keeping order but misting water for the tightly packed crowd. It was still pretty warm in September . Especially with 1.6 million people there.
