If this was there "song" then the crowd size is appropriate. Metallica is the best metal band from the '80s and a good hard rock band from the '90s on.
With the new digital mixing consoles, you can do settings on every song and push one button to return to the same exact settings. Doing the show and saving the settings is brilliant.
I was the lead truck driver on the US/Canada "And Justice for All" tour back about 1989. The band had decided they wanted to play in every state in the US. That put them in some unusual venues in Delaware and New Hampshire. When they played in Nome, Alaska the sound system caught on fire. The crowd thought it was part of the show and the crew extinguished it pretty quickly so no harm no foul? Curiously enough, Hector Lizardi, formerly Billy Graham the evangelist's accountant, was on the tour. While we were eating sushi off 8 mile road in North Detroit, Hector asked Lars what he wanted to do when he grew up. Without missing a beat, Lars said, "I wanna be an accountant because they can steal from everybody."
In 35 years of tour logistics, I've never seen the sound, instruments and stage gear travel at the same pace as the artists. It's usually far ahead of the band and is a constant game of leapfrog after each venue. I've NEVER seen an ancillary tour member sit down and dine with the band either, rarely they would hang out with sound and lighting engineers, but a truck driver?
its his signature ESP snakebyte (not to be confused for the ESP LTD one) but he also has his with a chrome finish which you will not find for sale, only the original black or white satin/gloss finish.
+drani439 I know it's Hetfield's sig guitar. But that guitar he's using right here on this video, was intentionally custom made for Hetfield, only. It's because I shopped at ESP's online store but not a single one of those is featured.
Blackened is one of the complicated songs of metallica. Happy to hear them playing this at this timeline. The justice album is one of the best metallica album of all time
Yes this is a complex album but still very catchy in the ears. You can also sing its solo by mouth. Easy and very pleasing to hear but very hard to play. Unlike the other contemporaries that you cant even memorize the sequoences of the songs.
It definitely is. I’ll never forget the feeling I got the first time listening to Kill em all when it came out. It was the greatest thing I had ever heard and was a huge Metallica fan up until the black album. Kill em all is my favorite album by them.
Yeah, wouldn't it be really cool if he just did stuff like that and they made thrash/death metal all of the sudden? Like instead of the 180 they did to create load/reload, they could to a 180 in the opposite way. That would be really Interesting to hear. Too bad that'll never happen.
@@morsteen once again cracked Cheetos dust covered lips wacks off once again in his parents basement playing with himself...... You are such an accomplished commenter..... One day you will be remembered with ten's of thousands chanting you're name!!!!

I'm sure you'll be the greatest one day.......
Hands down, so true! I've watched band rehearsals at my school of the metal nature. My classmate's band would regularly use the music room during Coffeehouse shows. It was more fun compared to watching the others play live.
Sound check is at the Brisbane exhibition grounds aka the EKKA ! It’s really old . 1880s old! The greatest cricket player ever Don Bradman played there and it’s hosted many concerts over the years including livid festival and the big day out festival. Great history
I was at that. Linkin Park played right before them. Others in the line up were Blink 182, Cypress Hill, Duff McKagens band Loaded, The Offspring, Garbage, A perfect Circle and heaps more. The sound was unbelievable all day but when Metallica came on it was a whole different level.
I saw Linkin Park, Deftones, Mudvayve, Slipknot and Metallica many years back!!...Metallica were obviously the Best live and headliners........but Linkin Park was damn near 2nd place.....absolutely incredible Live. I remember being totally shocked because I wasn't Crazy about Linkin Park, and cell phones were still kinda shitty, so you had NO clue who sounded good live......you didn't have 8 million videos to choose from on youtube.
I worked 23 years as a concert sound tech. As the person in final control of sound system volume, you never let the opening acts have control of overall volume. If the headliner isn't above the rest, the engineer has failed his job.

I haven't seen a connection between haters of Lars and Lars himself as the fudging drummer for a group that could wipe thier asses with above mentioned haters paychecks. He's doing right by the band. I love him ❤
I was at that festival, I waited up the front nearly all afternoon so I could be right up there. Even felt Kirk Hammett's sweat fly off the stage. Was so freaking rad!
8:52 I love how James looks directly at the camera as if he’s saying “what’d you say to me, punk?” In all seriousness and honesty, James and the rest of the guys in Metallica are awesome!
I am a drummer I love lars but james is my fav i can relate to that man he lost his mom and i lost my dad that song momma said I just switch the lyrics to Daddy said.
Lars gets it. He is a killer drummer who knows his songs and his craft. He then and always has his kit set up in advance before the stringed instruments come out of their cases. He's ready to play. And is made to wait while guitarists, bassist tune up, and change guitars. Patience beyond measure, yet he gets the brunt of non-musicians negative comments. It's hard to play drums and you have to be fit. I saw all this as a guitarist and musician 45 years. RESPECT.
I don't give a shit what anyone says about Lars. If Portnoy has him in his Top 10, that's all you need to know. He is a huge part of the Metallica sound, you take him away and the entire dynamic changes.
Lars is one of the shittiest drummers of all time. Rest of the band are good, but Lars is terrible. Plenty of videos on YT showing James arguing with Lars over his shitty drumming
I had a friend in high school that went to concerts all the time. Sadly my parents would not permit me to go. When I got older about my 20's I started going to concerts, but sadly I never got to see Metallica in concert. I did see Eddy Money and .38 special at six flags, live in concert. And my parents didn't even know about that. When I got older I went to a concert at the River Port amphitheater and saw White Zombie and that was a total freak show. Good times.
its so crazy that i used to live directly behind this arena my mate lived directly across and my other mate lived in the kings buildings. we could hear and see this. so much fun, gotta remember the old dayz

I love that you can actually hear the bass now when Metallica plays. Much fuller sound!
+Juan. Lega Because they finally understand. Bass is just necessary.
After fucking Jason over and the fans backlash..they might have taken that clue
Crazy!!
As it's always BEEN there.
Just don't ask the Justice album to reveal it.
You have to add Bass when you remove most of the percussion.
Since you've always been able to hear the bass..... that's just stupid
Metallica is easily the best group of dad's that have ever played music.
Interestingly Rick Nielsen is also an amazing dad, he gets off stage and transforms into Superdad.
LOL like all the shit Muzak today is music
Rush tops that bill
True!
Nirvana says hello...
love that the sound check is basically a whole concert :D
