- Lighting provided an extraordinary backdrop for a Metallica concert in Munich on Friday, 24 May.
The US heavy metal band were performing at the German city's Olympiastadion as part of their M72 world tour.
Footage posted on X/Twitter by @SunsetGirlJane captured the moment lightning struck as the band began playing "Master of Puppets" from the 1986 album of the same name.
"A thunderstorm happened and it made for the coolest f***ing intro of all time," the X/Twitter user said.

Concerts pyrotechnics have gotten out of hand
Even Montreal couldn’t top this
Whats next? Real tornado?
@@z4kq1 probably for a megadeth concert, one made of souls
Yeah, they really want to top Rammstein here 😅
@@Ray_2112😂👏
Cliff Burton's favorite Metallica song was Master of Puppets. Too perfect.
Was Orion
And God is master of puppets too perfect !
@@fu8713 He told Thrash Metal magazine just before his death that Master of Puppets is his favorite song. One would think it would be Orion since he basically wrote the whole thing but it seems it wasn't.
who cares about that bozo
@@MikehMike01 2.2k likes in 9 days vs. the 6 tops you will get for the lifetime your comment will be up. Seems more people care then not. Everytime you see a troll like this just take confidence in the knowledge they have baby wee wees and have their mom listed as their best friend.
You thought "WHOA AWESOME!" until the sky turns red and you see a swarm of oversized bats are flying towards you
You mean like locusts? That doesn't sound good.
I'd still be WHOA AWESOME lol
I assume this is a Stranger Things S4E9 reference? Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing!
That .... that is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
.... Fallen London??
Me & my mother were huge fans of metallica. While pregnant, she would be listening to them with headphones & she'd put them on her belly sometimes...they practically flow through my veins. She passed away in 2012 when I was 16...I think this is a sign from her, Cliff, god. It really spoke to me...tears are building just typing this. I know for a fact
I’m sorry for your loss I hope she gets to meet Cliff in the afterlife
its probably Cliff 👼
No, it was just a lightning
@@mpmarques Shut up!
@@kapilreang lars sucks
Nah!
@@LucasGomes-nl6tm party pooper
Like ride the lightning.
Ride the Puppets you mean😅
Master of Lightning?
F***ING RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!
*kirk gets upset* widdlyweedlywahhhh@@quinitosgamingroomandaviat7563
yeah, "like"
This happened to a group of us years and years ago in Indianapolis…got real dark, lightning and hail as soon as Metallica started.Also the last concert for Soundgarden. Awesome concert
Starting to feel like mother nature loves Metallica
Metalheads you feel it
That's metal.
no its lightning
@@mithrilheld653 Nah its the sun
@@mithrilheld653 no its metal
@@Sonic-gy7kq how is it metal if its lightning?
@@mithrilheld653 Lightning is metal ya square. Go listen to taylor swift nerd.
That has to be the most metal thing I have ever seen. It does not get more metal than that. The timing was insane.
@user-zb9ul4vt8q what the heck are you talking about?
The fact lightning struck at the start of master of puppets is VERY much metal.
Not just for the fact that the timing was insane.
Not just the fact that it added to the atmosphere and feel of the concert.
But also, factually speaking. Lighting and thunder have been historically used and associated with metal music since as long as it has been around.
Lightning in album artwork. Lighting effects used at live shows. Lighting and storms are the subject of MANY famous metal and rock songs,
Ride the Lighting
Thunderstruck etc..
In fact, most famous metal bands have either featured lighting on some art work, or on song lyrics.
Judas priest.
Slayer
Megadeath
Metallica
ACDC
Iron maiden
Black sabbath
Sabaton
Amon amarth
Dio
Just to name some off the top of my head.
To just outright make a statement that lightning striking at the start of master of puppets, one of THE MOST iconic metal riffs of all time, has no significance in the metal community. The band or anyone that was there. Is not only incorrect, but shows your lack of understanding not just of metal. But live music in general.
Every person that understands metal music will agree that the lightning striking added to the impact of the song. And I can bet the members of metallica will feel the same way.
@@BeanyBop add lightning rods, get lightning.😂it was coincidence.
@josephlalock8378 I am blown away by the stupidity of people. I was CLEARLY not suggesting the lightning was in any way anything other than coincidence.
I was just pointing out, for the reasons stated in my original reply, WHY it was still metal that it happened to begin with.
I was commenting on the impact / significance of it. Not the cause....
What the hell are you talking about?
It's lightning dude, grow up
@@user-zb9ul4vt8q You getting enough attention from your trolling comment? I mean, beggars can't be choosers
Lightning pass the vibe check
Even the people in heaven were watching this concert and that's heartwarming.
I was there in person. Sickest thing I´ve ever seen
You ain’t seen much then
@@trustoldpaths1415 Only because you have freedom of speech doesnt mean that you're words are appropriate
@@trustoldpaths1415The ability to speak does not make you intelligent
awesome dude =)
@@trustoldpaths1415 classic troll know-it-all, you should go somewhere else and throw hate elsewhere, bye get lost.
Lightning was a paid actor
Totally scripted
Definitely a shill . .
Lightning self identifies as an actress, not actor
@@Deke1 The lighting is possessed by demons.
@@Deke1 how dare you assume any gender. Has to be non-binary
I got chills watching this.
When I begun to listen to Metallica in my early teens, it happened multiple times that as I was playing the Ride the Lightning album, a storm would arrive while I was listening.
This is one of the greatest vids I’ve seen on the internet!!!🤘
The best thing was that after the concert many people were singing Ride the lightning. Great atmosphere!
No James! Don't actually ride it!!!
😂😂😂
James has been barbecued onstage enough for one lifetime.
@@lordtrigon1733 roasted
@@thatoneguychad420 Well I was gonna write "toasted" but, considering his rehab stints, I thought that might be in bad taste...
@@lordtrigon1733 lmaooo
Sonething the Doof Warrior from Fury Road missed out on during the chase scenes
Glass Animals -- The Other Side Of Paradise (Live at Red Rocks)
was even more perfect, lightning struck EXACTLY when the singer goes "my thunder shook him down~"
That was bad ass! Had a similar thing happen at a Black Sabbath concert. Thunder and lightning started at the beginning of War Pigs. Whole stadium erupted!🤘
Probably the strong lights ionizing the air just enough on a rainy day to kick it off
Satanists
@@krppcool explanation. But could that actually happen? I'm not a physicist
@@wolfgangmozart888 there could be multiple other factors at play here but if you want to know more look up "laser guided lightning"
That's how you know you go from metal Legend to a metal God. When lightning is literally summoned by your music.
Kinda reminds me of something Dethklok would do
Maybe God was sick of the BS emanating from Metallica interviews. Decided to send a message, "You really ain't that good".
God is against this type of music. We must all repent from listening to it. Replace it with classical music.
@@Mr.Ditkovich. God is also against RENT.
Nice bait tho.
@bethlehemeisenhour8352 True. I am fine with any music that doesn't cause degeneracy.
That timing was ridiculous, this is the most metal moment of all time
This couldn't get any better. I'm so far away from Munich yet so pumped
That has to be the most coolest thing to witness ever
It was
But also anyone with a healthy fear of lightning might be concerned.
Thor: oh yeah, I like this one!
🤘😎
you mean Allah the merciful.
@@ianswift3521 maybe he a Greek people maybe
No Thior nor Allah, HaShem.
Another!
Nothing can top Manowar's performance in Istanbul for the song Hail And Kill in 2005. Thunder was epic that day.
Wicked, had the same thing happen at an AC/DC Concert in Edmonton, Alberta. Thunderstruck was the last song, I think, The storm that came up was huge and the lightening fierce. Brian Johnson came swinging out onto stage in the pouring rain with massive bolts of lighteng visible in the near distance and thunder, could not ask for better timing! best FN Concert ever!
Cliff’s playing with them. Rock in Peace Cliff, love you 💔🤘🏻
Now THAT'S metal
No that's lightning.
It happens at taylor swift concerts a lot, not metal.
@@YodatheHobbit jeeez read the room
@@RUTGERMORTENSEN what kind of brain dead comment is this? It's genuinely comments like these that make me feel like I'm in a simulation, or there're just bots, either one.
@@jama211 you're the real bot, why do you care what other people say? Mind your own business
Honestly that is more terrifying than anything with those giant metal conductors around your audience during a lightening storm.
The transition from fuel to master of puppets will never get old
It’s Cliff playing in Heaven
@bethlehemeisenhour8352 and that's why no one, except your weirdo, children-touching, church friends, likes you :)
@bethlehemeisenhour8352 why tf you so mad for lmfao. "NO!!! NO FUN ALLOWED!"
@bethlehemeisenhour8352 heaven doesn't exist. people can't be happy if they're dead. believe whatever imaginary sky dimension you want, but i'm telling you it's not real.
@bethlehemeisenhour8352where in the Bible does it say no rock and “the stuff”
@bethlehemeisenhour8352This is an anti-dope rock song so it cancels out.
Imagine if that was on Ride The Lightning... Holy crap!! Either way, epicness overload!!!
It happened in Sydney about 10 years ago right as they were playing it
Talk about riding the lightning 🌩️ ⛈️ ⚡️. That was pure serendipity right there 🎸🤟🏻🎸🤟🏻
Shine down had a concert in palmer alaska where this happened in the middle of a guitar solo
Cliff was that you?! 🥲😱
Lars' snare is able to summon lightning bolt. Do not underestimate his drumming spell.
That’s the most metal thing I’ve seen in a while and it just made my day 🤘⚡️
God: I send you a thunder
Metallica: What Was That!?
I got chills just from reading comments about Cliff
Sensitive soul
I bet it was Cliff
That’s Cliff, my dudes. He’s throwing it down from the heavens! 💪
@bethlehemeisenhour8352hail Satan, baalzebul, Mamon, leviathan
Especially since Master of Puppets was his favorite.
Thor himself blessing this concert by striking lightning at a neighbour who just called the cops for "loud noises"
I don’t think there’s anything more metal that could have happened at a metal concert 🤘
I was hoping it would be during the song Ride the Lightning, but this is still very badass!
Naw, this is better because Master of Puppets was Cliff's last album. He was saying hello with that lightning strike and don't forget this is me mother fuckers! lol
Iron Maiden: "We love putting lightnings in our posters!"
Metallica: "Hold our beers..."
Vecna: "I'm opening the Gates of RPG Hells!"
That really was a badass scene. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Can't get more metal than that 🤘🏻💀
Iconic moments in Rock n History
No, perfect timing would have been during the intro of Ride The Lightning
Unless you're Eddie Munson...then it makes perfect sense.
-Vecna
3:43 of ride the lightning would be perfect
@@richpeltier9519 Get out.
EXACTLY
Nah, Master of Puppets is a better song.
This was one of those metal moments in life every Metallica fan will reminisce again and again! The metal gods nod of approval!!
Cliff Burton coming down for one final play of his favorite song.
Cliff was watching and decided to add something extra
An additional bonus to the best light show I've ever had the privilege to see, during one of the best overall concerts I've attended. And I wouldn't put it past Cliff in showing that he was also there in sprit. Rock On Metallica!
You should have seen Cheap Trick back in the day.
Cliffs up there jamming with Jesus. Legends never die.
Well said mate
🤦🏼♂️
Cope @@norcodaev
@@MinutemenGeneral9974 Cope? What an odd response. Cope with what? The fact that you’re being demonstrably irrational by believing in things you don’t have good evidence for? Ummm, ok?🤷🏼♂️
@@norcodaev What is the harm in believing and finding out he's not real then as opposed to the other way around?
Thor requesting Ride the Lightening....
I was apprehensive clicking on this video. I fully expected Lightning McQueen to dart across the screen at some point...
Cliff came to play seen him in person in 82 and met him great guy very chill taken too soon Rest In Metal Cliff we miss you
Punctuation is important.
Dude sounds like pickles from metalocalypse when he's drunk 😂
I was literally thinking the exact same thing right before I read your comment.
Hahaha oh wooooo. Oh wooooo
I think I would have cried. Just so cool!!!!
You've been declared competent, son. You gotta ride the lightning ⚡ - Percy Wetmore
Cliff looking down on their buddies. Awesome!!!
Nature giving it’s seal of approval to rock on
Heavy Metal+Lightning=Friends forever.
Everyone: "Whoaaaa so cool"
Me: "Wrong song..."
Imagine if they were playing ride the lightning 🤘
This
RIP cliff
Honestly, never liked that one. Creeping Death fits this more too lol
@@CYB3R2K the intro riff is insanely cool but after that it's downhill, I agree. Creeping death is very cool
God is a rocker, I knew it!
God used Creeping death to inspire me to read the Bible cover to cover and become a Born again Christian, because the song is based off the 10 commandments movie and the 10 commandments movie is based off the second book of the Bible “Exodus” and the song is referencing (Exodus: 11) in the Bible.
God definitely enjoys metal, anything to glorify his name.
@ATLASGAMINGApallo Quit the uppers dude...
@@Ervinabrahamianbro what
@@ATLASGAMINGApalloThat is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read all day. Surely you are not serious.
@@norcodaevThat says more about you than it does him. Metal is extemely inspirational.
Audience: YEEEEHHHHAA
Event organizer: sweating
To quote Dustin from Stranger Things season 4
"Dude.... most.. metal EVER!!!!!"
Fitting since as the lightning strikes on the same time as the red light of the stage like the album and the upside down
This is so BADASS
I remember being on Stadium in Warsaw when AC/DC played Thunderstruck, it was very similar moment. Pity that wasn't Ride The Lightning
I was there, watching the concert from a hill opposite the stadium. That lightning was our cue to get out of there 😖
😂😂
I would've done the same!! 😊💙
Actually you can see the lighning strike miles behind that tower. If the tower was struck it would have sparked like crazy, the lights wouldve died and the people around it would've possibly gotten electrecuted.
Happened to me while I was driving, the sky struck at the very same time as the first bell toll. God listens to good music.
I witnessed it on My 24th in Munich.
This was an insane Moment.
That's pretty dang cool. had it happen at a Mastodon concert last year, sync up
There's something about the way live music sounds when it's recorded through a phone that just makes it sound so nice. I think the effect is called a "limiter", but I've put a limiter on my favorite songs and they don't sound like this.
Awesome. Saw this happen once at a metal festival, Lamb of God was playing and right as the singer hit an epic long scream with the classic rockstar pose, lightning struck in a straight line down perfectly behind him. Will never forget that. Also before that as the storm was first approaching the first sounds of thunder hit and rain started right as the deftones started the first notes of their set. It was soo perfect
It happens again during the middle section together with a thunderclap. ❤
Cliff Burton
Even the weather feelin' the rock...
Looks like Cliff and Zeus are enjoying the show up there.
Crazy to think my A7X concert was canceled because of thunderstorms yet this show still went on
This is the one band I would pay to see anytime,anywhere.
I've been to 2 of their shows and each time was just incredible.
What? Sounds like you clearly havn't been "paying to see them anytime, anywhere", unless you're 12, otherwise I'm guessing you would have racked up more than 1 show every 20 years....
@@dannycolverson6944 That's dumb.
I got to meet and greet the band on the Load tour. They were all extremely kind and generous.
All time top five favorite metallica live concert moment right there.
We had a lightening backdrop in 2000 at the Rockingham show, for the WHOLE concert, it was awesome! Not as heavy rain though!
Cliff and Eddie are jamming with the thunder gods
More like Cliff and Dimebag…
Thinking same thing, Eddie from stranger things. Haha
Yes, they're half of my fantasy band. Cornell and Bonham compete the group only made for the heavens.
@@user-qg9co8yp4k And Jimi
That was so sick !
I love how the say "wait for it" on a 33 second video 😂
When you are so Metal, you even summon lightning
One of the metal moments you'll share forever, nice.
I wish they were playing ride the lightning, that would have been sweet!
Hi Cliff! How's it going?
How many times have you watched this
me: yes
Cliff be shredding with the band
bound to happen if you tour for 100 years and still going strong!
The Most badass thing to ever happened in a Concert
The slow "Wow" is killing me
Thanks for zooming in on that independent.
I’m wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be looking at until you did.
You cannot stop the metal.
No one can destroy the metal
I swear something like this happened when they were playing in Australia years ago
THATS THE REAL POWER MY SCREECH WILL BLOW YOU AWAY
