Funny coz the rain only started the moment they came on and stopped when they finished. I remember getting pissed that it started raining but jeez it really improved the crowd. Everyone couldn’t use their phones as much. So happy it did rain now and I’ve been to many gigs and been fortunate that it hadn’t rained in any of those gigs until this. Very hard to go to many outdoor gigs in the UK without rain. I was 19 during this wearing just a t shirt and left the gig soaked but it was so worth it. Plus i pissed my pants since i didn’t want to step away for a moment to go to toilet and miss anything. I remember my friend took it upon himself to lift me on his shoulders, still haven’t told him I’d pissed my pants 😂. I’ll wait till we’re older haha.
Drums are still acoustic even tho they’re being processed from the PA. If he doesn’t hit the drums hard they wouldn’t sound right. Every drummer sounds different for this reason.
Eyenfinity Face - The Cosmic Loner well now there’s a special effect right in front of him. If he doesn’t hit the shit out of it you get no cool splash’s.
As a manc myself, seeing the greatest ever performance of the greatest metal song in my home in the rain gives me so much pride. This is as good as any metal performance will ever get.
Lucky enough to be there, when it rained, it wasn't a sprinkle it was torrential, everyone went wild, and it was one of them moments when the whole crowd felt as one. In my top three live music experiences!
The fact that James can absolutely shred the guitar while belting out killer vocals will never cease to amaze me. People who don’t play guitar have no idea how fucking difficult that is
@@UnchainedEruption Can’t argue there. I’ve only been playing for two years or so, so I guess my claim on what’s difficult is very different from those who have been at it much longer than I have
@@SonicGlitchmaster1 5 months ago I thought to myself "how the fuck do I play rythm section of seek and destroy solo". Now it's just so straightforward
Honestly, the pause between the solo at 3:28 with the thunder barely hearable in the background is just, amazing. I can’t even describe it. God bless you all.
Despite their huge fame, I think Metallica is often underappreciated for how insanely skilled they are at playing live. They sound so damn tight every time.
They're really not that tight every time though, but they should have mad respect nonetheless. As a drummer, guitarist, bassist and singer, with emphasis on the first one, no they are not tight every time. But these mf's play a lot of f-ing shows. I wouldn't be tight on either instrument every show. I've been on tour in Poland and the Check Republic and only had 4 shows at the time. Gods shall know I wasn't tight every god damn show. I was drunk af tho lol. And these old men do a lot more shows than that and I'm just 35, so there's that. Credit should be given when credit is due. Love these guys.
I don't think anyone would realize this, but James is playing his most prized guitar in the pouring rain. This rustic looking guitar's name is Carl named after the street in California where they practiced for years. The band got the idea to dismantle the garage they used to practice in back in the day and bring it to their studio and reassemble it inside it. So they tried, but the garage had been torn down. Despite that the band decided to hold a reunion party on the property and someone who was an old friend came and said that he had kept some of the wood from the garage, so they took the wood from the very garage where they wrote Ride The Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and most notably Master of Puppets and built a very special guitar for the band. Carl is brought out and played with every performance of Master of Puppets no matter the weather which is remarkable to see considering the historical and sentimental significance of the instrument.
¿¿¿Seriously??? That I did not know and did you know that For one of its 3 batteries is playing, the purple battery that is playing is the 2 battery The First battery is a Green battery that that battery is since it started Metallic, and the Third battery is orange. u this Lars has and a battery that is orange and lars said that his orange battery was the most prized for him

Just to ask. There were 2 tall towers on stage and I kept thinking, were they water jets or something. You know to bring down water on themselves as if nobody told them it's always raining here in Manchester lol
Yep, same here. And I can relate - when I watch footage of them playing at the Loreley Festival 1985. My first Metallica gig. I am 57 now, but that was... unforgettable.
As a lifelong Metallica fan disillusioned by some of their more recent stuff, listening to Kill Em All the whole way up to this without hearing Hardwired.. I was very, very pleasantly surprised..
Quite pleased to be able to say that i was at the most bad ass version of Master of Puppets ever recorded. The rain, Metallica on form, the atmosphere. It was an epic gig 🤟🏼
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: show me another band that plays in a torrential rainstorm at such a high caliber that it sounds no different from when they are playing in perfect weather. There never has been and never will be another band like Metallica. This is just one of the countless reasons why Metallica is the greatest band of all time
My favourite band ever, hands down. Seeing them live in London absolutely cemented that and earned them a fan for life. Not that I wouldn't have been a life long fan before.
when Kirk is on, he can rip through solos with the best of them. he gets a lot of shit, but I've seen enough metal bands live to know that a lot of lead guitarists don't come close to perfectly replicating their studio solos.
Easily my favorite song by Metallica. I tear up at the end though thinking of all those we've lost to addiction. "I will occupy, I will help you die, I will run through you, now I rule you too. Man. Even those left behind are ruled by the loss.
I ran into him at a San Francisco Giants game once. Just a normal guy. He seemed familiar for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards I realized who it was.
James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.
@@johnnysinger3353 you're crazy if you think Lars isn't an integral piece of everything they've done. Even if yes, technically lacking as a drummer, he's played a massive role in the composition/arrangement off all their music.
@@xx_waturb_xxxx1673 Seattle 89 is just their most popular and most viewed performance cause it was their fastest performance imo. Kinda like how ppl say Moscow 91 is their best sandman playing, however I feel like other concerts they did better.
@@shoesr21 one thing that was the best from that concert is the performance of Creeping Death. Nothing else comes close. I notice 0 mistakes during the solo, and really anything else.
As it as already been said, but I'll say it again : I don't know if people realise how well they played considering it was pouring rain. Water on strings glide well too much and it's becoming hell to play right. The fact that they played it without missing notes is incredible and show how skilled they are. Because it does recquire some strong stamina to play this song, and they did it with Rain all along. What a band.
yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.
I was at this gig and in between songs you could see them walking behind the drum to shake their arms to fling as much water off as possible before the next song. Everyone was drenched but it was an awesome night!
This was the best concert I've ever been to ! Rain was refreshing and the boys just jammed there hearts out in the dam rain !!! Hell yeah let's get it !!!
Absolutely the best live metal band in the world. Sweat can make those drum sticks wet with sweat. I've had them fly out of my hands a few times. Now rain big props to Lars. A bad ass drummer.
@Oakie yes, as 'ancient ' as I am, still cool. But gotta say that without my younger wife and lots of friends a generation younger, I'd be way more clueless. Thanks young Padawan (Star Wars reference)
@@rgtemple thank you kindly. Not sure why, but at my age, I'll take it!. Was it th 9 years of military? One tour of Vietnam? Or that I escaped Minnesota winter to live in Baja Mexico?? Lol,thanks again
This performance is perfect they didn't miss a beat and its pissing out of the heavens.. the rain actually makes it look better...Thats experience right there... Legends...
What's the difference between a big band and a legendary band? Korn canceling a HellFest show because of 3 drops of water. Metallica playing under a flood!!!
Oilid I’m sure that was the festivals choice that’s how they avoid lawsuits from bands just in case they get electrocuted they can’t say the festival made them play in the rain
When Prince performed at the Super Bowl, it was raining while he played Purple Rain. They told him before he went on that it was raining, he asked could they make it rain harder, like him or not, he was 5' 2" of badass.
James in 86' never could imagine he would make a guitar from his garage's wood and play one of his best live performances during a heavy rain in Manchester 2019 with it
I’m 40, been playing guitar most of my life, and I’ve honestly never been able to do it consistently. And that’s at the album tempo. This is so much faster.
I'm guessing people outside the stadium must be hearing the crowd roaring "Master! Master!" and thinking 'Man... I wish I was inside" Metallica fan or not.
This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.
Hear the great downpour Louder than before With his cord in hand To regale the land Crushing current strikes On this raining night Fall onto your knees For the phantom power lord!

Moscow 91‘ : „Hold my Beer!“ 😂
Opeth - Sorceress at Red Rocks
Me 2 man, i was there also, totally awesome.
Boring crowd
Seattle 89' One
Damn! Kirk was in such fire during the solo that even rain couldn't extinguish him.
Yeah, that solo was flawless
I like it
when Kirk is on, he can rip through solos with the best of them. he gets a lot of shit, but I've seen enough metal bands live to know that a lot of lead guitarists don't come close to perfectly replicating their studio solos.
I love how metallica keeps putting out high quality live content.
Lars is playing really good
Stuart Ramirez ik it’s crazy..
Can't not notice james lip syncing tho. But hats off to them for still being this badass for their age!
@777Dubliner yeah its all stuck in the midrange. no low end. And I have bass boost and dolby 7.1 turned on on these headphones.
villegas24 Yeah we could watch stuff like this or the insipid mediocre crap that passes for mainstream music!🙄
Easily my favorite song by Metallica. I tear up at the end though thinking of all those we've lost to addiction. "I will occupy, I will help you die, I will run through you, now I rule you too. Man. Even those left behind are ruled by the loss.
One of the best performances they ever did. AND THEY'RE IN THEIR 50's!!!
Really good performance but not one of their best lmao let's be real
@@jeremy9951 How is it not?
I like to think Metallica is immortal.
Years are but a number.
@Crowbar. 27 True. Playing rhythm in Metallica is an astonishing commitment of wrist nightmares. Hetfield must have some amazing ligaments.
They’ve aged so well. Still pull off the look
These guys practically raised me during a bad childhood, taught me to play guitar and how to be social..... I owe these guys for saving my life
With the rain on his drums, Lars actually looked fckn cool.
Big facts especially in the beginning where u see the rain coming of the drums
And played perfectly - just like Kirk. Awesome 👍👍👍

Promoter: "It's raining tonight."
Metallica: "Make it rain harder."
That's what prince said for the half time show
Michael R that’s actually almost a prince Quote believe it or not
Prince: "I wrote that"
Prince, the all time greatest
Yep Prince.
I sometimes wonder, does Hetfield ever realize how actually epic and cool he is. A fucking Legend.
I was just thinking the same thing
Truth...🙏
I ran into him at a San Francisco Giants game once. Just a normal guy. He seemed familiar for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards I realized who it was.
James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.
@@johnnysinger3353 you're crazy if you think Lars isn't an integral piece of everything they've done. Even if yes, technically lacking as a drummer, he's played a massive role in the composition/arrangement off all their music.
The fact that they played in the rain without missing a beat is incredible
Probably the best live version of MOP that I’ve ever heard, and these guys somehow pulled it off in the rain. Absolute legends.
Probably the best version is Seattle '89, but this is pretty close to it considered they were older
@@xx_waturb_xxxx1673 Seattle 89 is just their most popular and most viewed performance cause it was their fastest performance imo. Kinda like how ppl say Moscow 91 is their best sandman playing, however I feel like other concerts they did better.
@@shoesr21 one thing that was the best from that concert is the performance of Creeping Death. Nothing else comes close. I notice 0 mistakes during the solo, and really anything else.
NO HABLO INGLISH
@@josephcrx9019 what's your point, bud? Not everybody is going to cater to you and only you.
As it as already been said, but I'll say it again : I don't know if people realise how well they played considering it was pouring rain. Water on strings glide well too much and it's becoming hell to play right. The fact that they played it without missing notes is incredible and show how skilled they are. Because it does recquire some strong stamina to play this song, and they did it with Rain all along.
What a band.
yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.
And played at 1.5X speed aswell is just incredible
I was at this gig and in between songs you could see them walking behind the drum to shake their arms to fling as much water off as possible before the next song. Everyone was drenched but it was an awesome night!
Makes it that much more badass
@@ac8785 couldn't agree more
-Do you know how to play Master of Puppets?
-Yes
-What about underwater?
Francisco Menano ... hold my beer
lars doesnt know how to play mop tho
You mean under the rain?
@@seanricio1137 the rain is water
@@sdxlvf lol. when you say "Underwater" it means ocean,lake, pond or river
I just love how they don’t give a fuck when playing in pouring rain, what legends
It was absolutely roasting in the stadium, I breathed a sigh of relief when the rain hit and it cooled down, and to top it off we got this.
Nick Flaskett you lucky bastard 🙄🙄
Wait you were there!?!?! You are the luckiest person in the world you shall get a badge
Yeah man. I was there too, the rain just made everything feel more awesome some how.
No one even noticed the rain, it was so hot in every way.
Nick Flaskett lucky
I’m jealous
the fact that at almost every show the audience sings the lyrics and the freakin solos shows how great they are
Nobody: How can you make Metallica even more epic?
Cloud: hold my beer.
Good one! LMAO!!
Hold my beer so I can take a piss
Daivd Wang your mummy holds my beer
AWESOME!
LOOOLLL
This was the best concert I've ever been to ! Rain was refreshing and the boys just jammed there hearts out in the dam rain !!! Hell yeah let's get it !!!
Man its incredible that they're performing the same song for longer than I've been alive and still with so much energy.
How old are you? 8 mins?
Robert Henderson smh my head
@@peeposad9127 yeah, apologies... T'was a bit Shit 😊
fucking hope I get to see them perform this one day
Manchester syndrome boy ...
Kirk played his solo just like his old days and no wah pedal. Respect!!!
As far as I know, he never uses a wah pedal for Master of Puppets solo. So nothing special here other than the fact that it was pretty great :)
@@panthex002 but he used to use wah pedal for any solo :))
C'mon, wah pedal makes everything better
He has a guy that does that for him now.
@@nitemareman1 not true
The Metallica doesn't need rain, The Rain needs metallica..
Absolutely the best live metal band in the world. Sweat can make those drum sticks wet with sweat. I've had them fly out of my hands a few times. Now rain big props to Lars. A bad ass drummer.
Only regret is that I didn't start listening to METALLICA until I was in my 50's. Now at 70 I'm still headbanging, but only until 9pm at bedtime. ROFL
@Oakie yes, as 'ancient ' as I am, still cool. But gotta say that without my younger wife and lots of friends a generation younger, I'd be way more clueless. Thanks young Padawan (Star Wars reference)

This has to be the most epic performance of this song since Seattle 89
Since nimes 2009
absolutely, my thoughts exactly
Its like if the rain made them give even more energy, amazing performance!
Killer show, man!!!
@@WesleyThibodeau
100% Agree mate !! 🎧🎸
Saw them play in a violent thunderstorm on monsters of rock. Everyone else bailed but Metallica
Roth you deserve more likes for that
@Roth have my like good sir.
Dude. I was at Monsters of Rock. Great show.
I feel like after that Russia incident with guns n Roses, they aren't very keen with cancelling their shows
If there is one old school ethos Metallica still lives by is "The Show Must Go On"
This performance is perfect they didn't miss a beat and its pissing out of the heavens.. the rain actually makes it look better...Thats experience right there... Legends...
The rain made this song even more badass!🌧😎
What's the difference between a big band and a legendary band?
Korn canceling a HellFest show because of 3 drops of water.
Metallica playing under a flood!!!
Oilid I’m sure that was the festivals choice that’s how they avoid lawsuits from bands just in case they get electrocuted they can’t say the festival made them play in the rain
I mean, they kinda have to, else they would never be able to tour in the UK. Feels like there's nothing but rain down here.
@@novaseer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of the bands have a wireless kit nowadays.so electric shock...umm I don't think there a much chance of happening
@Falc0n Productions can confirm
One of the greatest performances of this song for modern Metallica, and the pouring rain only enhances this.
This has got to be one of the most hardcore rock performances I've watched ever.
Please don't ever leave this world Metallica 🤘
@Chad Mower neuver the same since we lost cliff.manowar's bass man joey only one who might have replaced cliff,possibly?. Mosso
As long as they remain in our hearts (and ears) they never will no matter what 🤘
Please fly in separate planes also. 🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼
They wont even when they do.
You know you wrote a great guitar solo when a stadium full off people try to hum and sing along to it, while you are playing!
do you know parkway drive? the crowds chant their riffs and solos everywhere they go
Man I got goosebumps when I saw the tombstones from the MoP album cover during the show
Rock on \m/
The solo from War Pigs is the loudest I've ever heard to be screamed
Other artists: its raining call off the concert
Metallica: HELL YEA ITS RAINING
Dio, you like metallica too?
Slayer: WAR ENSEMBLE!!,,
Lol yup....like "please rain harder......."
*all it does is make it even more badass.*
When Prince performed at the Super Bowl, it was raining while he played Purple Rain. They told him before he went on that it was raining, he asked could they make it rain harder, like him or not, he was 5' 2" of badass.
All that rain made the song sound cooler, deeper and beautiful all the same, Lars hammering the drums and the water going nuts, really nice
The drummer in the rain gives a totally different vibe.
His name is lars
That drummers pretty cool huh
Blake Davis uhmm yeah umm
Dimitri Papa di Nikolaus mmhhm
You can say Lars and just 3 - 4 people in the world wouldn´t get you are talking about Metallica´s drummer
The heaviest level of professionalism of a band playing in the rain!!! Metallica still rules!!!🤘👊🤘
James: More is all you need.
Kirk: Wah is all you need.
Robert: Bass is all you need.
Lars: Drums is all you need.
lol
more like: Robert: Crabwalk is all you need
Lars: Snare is all you need
James: Lars all you need is double bass
Lars needs a metronome
Promoter: "It's raining, should we canc..."
Metallica: "MAKE IT RAIN FASTER !!! OBEY YOUR MASTER !!!"
😁
Metallica: "MAKE IT RAIN FASTER !!!......Our gear got soaked...oh bastard!!
@@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth best comment on any Metallica vid
James in 86' never could imagine he would make a guitar from his garage's wood and play one of his best live performances during a heavy rain in Manchester 2019 with it
Heavy rain. R.I.P. the guitar...) .
This vid was made in 2018
@@Burgerlover137 it says June 18 of 2019,and I remember someone that month talking about it,that's the reason I saw the vid
Just a guitar techs dream! The old garage wood will always rock another day, hail rain or shine. Bring it on but!!
Adam De Krijger what
The fact that James still can play this whole song in down strokes at his age is insane. I'm 27 and i can't even do it anymore.
Well, you can see he "cheats" several times... but still the performance is gold. Just nothing to say. All praise.
Really, That's Insane!
I’m 40, been playing guitar most of my life, and I’ve honestly never been able to do it consistently. And that’s at the album tempo. This is so much faster.
Metallica won't let the fans down no matter what Rain, Sun, Thunder or Lightning
The Adventures of Adam because they gonna ride the lightning
Lightning would stop the show,it would have to
The retard rocket we’ll that did happen. On tour with Guns N’ Roses
Even pyrotechnics!
Apart from not being able to quit drinking 🤪
They sound incredible playing live 40 years later
Metallica is the Greatest metal band ever 😲
I'm guessing people outside the stadium must be hearing the crowd roaring "Master! Master!" and thinking 'Man... I wish I was inside" Metallica fan or not.
Or they just thougt someone was watching Kinky Porn..
I was almost convinced the rain was part of the set design. How cool did that look though
I thought. The something..lo
Same
Ikr!!!!
Nope just england for you XD
imagine being such legends that the singer can just pick up the microphone and trust the crowd to sing
Just seeing the rain bounce on Lars’s drums gives me chills
Typical sunny English weather.
Shout out to all the techs who know how to ground all the sound equipment properly.
Same thought! Not something most would think about but definitely well done!
This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.
Hear the great downpour
Louder than before
With his cord in hand
To regale the land
Crushing current strikes
On this raining night
Fall onto your knees
For the phantom power lord!
100%
Patasaurus Rex yeah! That’s what I was thinking watching this!😳👍
lars looking like he's having the time of his life lmao
His playing isn't perfect here, but it's better than in others concerts. And obviously he's enjoying it
Julio Surimu im glad hes enjoying it at his age, especially as a 15yr old fan... who cares really if he rushes a little sometimes
Harran
Exactly. What matters is he’s enjoying himself just as much as everyone else if not more.
The rain flying out of his drums is probably helping him feel more happy
Drumming in the rain is insanely fun
Rain or shine
Metallica plays
All the time.
Metallica plays
Manowar leaves
their guitars are better than mine,
drums in rain make lars shine
Il Mistico what a beautiful little haiku
MurphysLaw I think back then the grounds on equipment wasn't like it is now. I could be wrong.
