That’s amazing 16:21 “Chicago all over again” James referring to when the fans took Kirks guitar all the way back in 1983. That’s cool he remembers that so clearly
No one ever says it, but Kirk is the glue that keeps shit together. Without Kirk, Metallica would have fallen apart long ago. He is always cool/level headed, never wants the spotlight, and is never arrogant or pushy with his ideas. Not to mention he aged gracefully as hell.
Austin Bramer, with Dave instead Metallica would sound way different, given how Megadeth turned out i'm not thrilled about the idea, Fade to Black is better than every Megadeth song, and then Metallica has over 100 songs more in their sleeve :P.
Rob has really grown on me, I really appreciate what he brings to Metallica now. I do admit that I was a little jaded after Jason left, and in my mind no one could replace him. But Rob has done an amazing job bringing his own style into Metallica.
Jason's vocals were truly amazing and in that regard Robert can't truly replace him. However, Robert's Bass playing is truly outstanding. He's an amazing Bassist. Anyone with an ear would have to agree with that. I know that you do, but many just can't.
Yep now noone could replace Rob. He is successful and talented like Cliff and Jason. Everybody will be taking lessons from Cliff for a loooooooong time. That european classical theory mixed with the black mans blues composed on scars and feel gave us.....METALLICA!!
@@thebluesrockers Hated Jasons vocals. So forced and stiff. And worse of all when he was harmonizing in Nothing Else Matters. Always out of tune. Especially on Cunning Stunts.
I want to see Lars singing and running around going apeshit again, like he about 20 years ago. If Lars didn't do drums, he would've definitely been a crazy front man singer.
D Exactly. I really felt bad for Rob at that point. He’s not appreciated the way he should be. I really don’t know why so many people talk shit about him
lol at 16:17 when james said chicago all over again, in 1983 kirk like put his guitar out in the crowd and they just grabbed it from em and security had to jump in and fight it back.
I love this band so much , I'd even let my wife take a massive cum shot on her face by all 4 members , the fan club staff , roadies , even the pop and peanut vendor , for me
Meanwhile, in an alternate universe: James Hetfield: Drums Lars Ulrich: Vocals and rhythm guitar Kirk Hammett: Bass guitar Robert Trujillo: Lead guitar
+surfinalien Haha yeah. I'm sure when they were rehearsing he just had an itch to play the solo. But it was hella funny when he said lets just start from the middle and Lars was like "That's my least favorite part..."
I love the fact that decades after their debut, after becoming living legends, they're rehearsing in a dirty damn.. workshop? And of course they brought a protools to record it all. That's authentic
They say that for three reasons: 1: He replaced his ride cymbal with a china crash cymbal. 2: His drum fills are all basically a snare drum roll. 3: He always seems to fuck up the timing on songs.
I'm usually the one defending Lars, but the Ride the Lightning arrangement during practice during Kirk's opening solo was messed up. I know he wants to try different things, but that was not it.
For some reason over the past week or so I have been watching several documentaries, behind the scenes footage of what goes into making a record, and having a good show... Now I understand why good seats are at times pricey... They are very worthy of the $ to recommend to anyone to at least see them once live, no matter what I think you'll end up being a fan for life. Humble, normal people just like you and I...
I like Robert. He seems like a really cool guy and a great bassist but damn Jason brought so much more power to this and many other songs with his backing vocals.
+Brian Fastabend rob just doesn't fit in as good as Jason and isn't such a great composer as cliff was but he is the best bassist of all. I like him way more when he is with his normal band (suicidal tendencies)
+Grossguth Richard If you watch documentaries and behind the scenes kinda stuff he gets arm and shoulder massages before almost every show. My guess is to prevent tearing muscles and to avoid permanent damage down the road.
+Daniel Petrucci I mean, his playing has obviously gone down hill the last, well shit...like 10-15 years...and we all know the St. Anger snare sound was shitty....but I'm not sure what is wrong with the snare sound here? find me a better sounding snare from a live performance? it's got good attack, body, you can hear the tone of the drum....? or was that just your attempt at a bagging on lars moment? if that's your objective, complain that you can't hear the bass drums.... just sayin.
+thrasherfan96 "There's no Escape " XDDD Even I'm laughing now xD If you don't know: They don't like their song Escape, also they played it live like three times only, after album release and twice in 2012. They even said they DON'T WANT to play it live, like never
+Mark O They needed another song for the album, and they forced the writing of it, from what I can remember. They talk about it in the SO WHAT! book, I think. Because they had to force it, they hated it.
Hell Naw that person is rubbing his right shoulder because of the issues he has with it from playing so aggressive younger and bending it a unnatural way same reason why kirk uses so much wah now compared to his younger self since he has wrist problems
guys come on, Lars ,was, is and will be drummer of metallica forever. and also remember that it's your ego that make talk shut about him. and " we love him ". as a drummer and as a good human being
this is the best video ever, they are all being themselves and not cheesy like when they are being interviewed and such. a real fly on the wall experience.
It's great to see them practising in a dirty and messy garage, just like any other local band (except for the physiotherapist, sound engineer and camera but ok). I love it!
Yeah same. Would've been pretty cool to see Lars Ulrich play lead and Kirk play drums. I wanted to see how good Lars could play guitar and Kirk the drums.
I can stand who Metalica have become. They used to be so awesome when I was a kid. I'm the same age as them and you don't understand how great they used to be.
Rodrigo Boschi my guess is he is trying to preserve his voice so he can tour and keep playing if he did it like that all the time he prob woukdnt be able to keep going like he does
It was insane!!! They made music in the last 30-32 years and i have the feeling that they can make it for another 20 years!!! oh, and Lars rocks it hard! \m/

I agree , he's a Fake musician . He's a marketing agent , stealing shit , covering shit , and Fronting shit , his Fans are just as Plastic as He is .

Without Kirk, Metallica would have fallen apart long ago.
He is always cool/level headed, never wants the spotlight, and is never arrogant or pushy with his ideas.
Not to mention he aged gracefully as hell.
EpochDeus honestly, metallica keeps itself together. Each member is just as important as the other. That's just what I think.
I thought money was the glue
EpochDeus nope. Dave would fill his shoes with ease
Austin Bramer, with Dave instead Metallica would sound way different, given how Megadeth turned out i'm not thrilled about the idea, Fade to Black is better than every Megadeth song, and then Metallica has over 100 songs more in their sleeve :P.
Mike C i like how you compared the only good megadeth album with metallica instead of the other ones
It's so odd seeing metallica on a regular theater stage, and not in the round like theyve done for ages, its too cool!
The round stages are annoying in my opinion
Kirk up on the drums like "Lars your wah pedals don't seem to work"
Lol

Lars stands on his millions
Every member of Metallica is frickin puny compared to James
"lower, lower" Lars mixing the bass on And Justice For All
16:15 is great! Referencing the early days when the crowd took Kirk’s guitar!
15:33 is what you are looking for
Thank you so much
Just as bad as I thought it would be
After that, now he sounds like a decent drummer..
I seriously thought I was watching a St. Sanders video right there.
God bless your soul
15:21 "Seek and do what?!"- Lars said that in San Diego in 1992. Wow I didn't know James still remember that!
Damn kirk looked great in 2013, and still does!
Look means onion
He's Philippino

Scored free 2nd row seats to this show, 2 days before my 50th birthday. How cool was that.
Meanwhile, in an alternate universe:

I saw a documentary of the making of load. Lars sang just for shits and giggles and he had a pretty decent voice
Robs Pretty good on guitar too.
Wow Lars looks like a 78 year old elf behind the kit
yes people get old, so will you, to live is to die
Elfs are immortal, so Lars have eternity to learn play drums
he actually looks like that wierd uncle every fammilyhave xD

Love how hard Kirk fights for his solo section in Ride

Kirk went happy to sad in zero seconds. Like he literally died inside when Lars put out the guitar to the audience 🤣
after kirk starts playing the drums, Lars thinking oh shit I better get him out of there or they'll see he's better than me XD
he's
lol
K
You! I like you.

How did I ever ignore these guys for 30 years? I got me some catching' up to do.They are pretty entertaining, for sure.
Mixture of great songs slow to fast bro U in for a treat
Dude it’s been almost 40 years since they played this song for the first time for a live audience.
People can say what they want, but Metallica always puts on a damn good show.

I'm surprised Lars wasn't being fed grapes during that rehearsal

if i was milionare i would put a hot women doctor there
Lolll right??
Why? You jealous right? :)
How can people say Lars is a shit drummer? Sure he's not the best but he's still fucking good.
They say that for three reasons:
1: He replaced his ride cymbal with a china crash cymbal.
2: His drum fills are all basically a snare drum roll.
3: He always seems to fuck up the timing on songs.

He’s actually really good and he’s nasty on those drums no one is perfect all the time
He fucks it up like a second after that time stamp and throughout the solo throws in a shit ton of fills that ruin it
You think he would get better over time, if he weren’t a founding member his ass would have been on the street months ago
