Yea. I actually heard this version before the album version. I was too young in 1991 to have any idea but I watched this exact performance on MTV in 1999 when I was 15. Fell in love with it first listen and went out to buy some Metallica albums!
You got that sure as hell right. I remember watching this on VH1 when i was in my 20's, now I'm 42 and have kids of my own that idolize these guys. I raised them well.
One thing fascinates me... and it's how calm and collected Lars looks during this performance. Looking at any other performance of this song he's doing his typical Lars faces and just being the animal he is. But this performance... Just look at him! He's right in the pocket, just surfing the music with everything he has, not beating the shit out of the drums as he usually does... just flowing with it. I'm getting the air of: "This is the performance of Nothing Else matters that I've been waiting for my entire life. No performance before or after will ever matter again." Sorry for the ramble, but it's been waiting for 20 years to come out.
Lars faces are there pretty much for the rest of the show here. :D It's like... just this particular iterarion of Nothing Else Matters where it seems that... um... nothing else matters.
@@astrea5849 Haha! True. But I love it. But I mean, look at the man. He looks like "I'm going to nail this one so good that everybody's pissing syrup!" It's somehow very endearing. Like this is the one performance of Matters that he wasn't going to bust wide open.
I discovered Metallica Ironically by default on Napster😂 Been a fan ever since. Bought every single cd they had released and a guitar. They’ve inspired me to make my own music, start a band and as James taught me: I dreamt big, and i dared to fail. I owe these guys so much. The joy that music brought me, and everything that comes with it. Gigs, friendships and so on… Long live Metallica!!
I was in college when I use to listen this live version for hour and hours Man life changed now everything is just beautiful memories and I am leaving everything behind and time has changed so fast so quickly Well I was in my 20s now 33 😔 I wish life would be same again
i feel like crying i first heard this song back in 2002 whene i was in high school i used to hear it round and round non stop even if i didn't understand much englishe at the time as we only had four hours a week of englishe courses in morocco...now i'm married and have a litle boy and we are enjoying this epic awfully sccesful song together it seems that my litle boy is a metalhead just like me.
This song's not even in my top Ten Metallica songs, let alone all of metal. If you like this, you'll like these songs: Behind Blue Eyes -Limp Bizkit Snuff- Slipknot A Tout Le Monde- Megadeth Hero of the Day -Metallica Foreclosure of a Dream- Megadeth Mama,I'm ComingHome-OzzyOsbourne Welcome Home - Metallica Fade To Black- Metallica Unforgiven -Metallica Low Man's Lyric- Metallica Goodbye to Romance- Ozzy Osbourne
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words, I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close, no matter how far It couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know I never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words, I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know, yeah, yeah So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters
No other version of this song will ever surpass this one.
This is the best version of the song.
Great song ❤👏❤️🤘❤️
Thank You For this Expression.....I Feel and Know the same❤
I agree but there’s a few covers that I really love at the moment xx
Exactly they nailed this. I remember watching the DVD of this and restarting this song like 20 times. It’s absolutely incredible.
James vocals doesn't get credit enough. He sounds amazing here.
I agree
He became a better vocalist after he had to get singing lessons after blowing his voice recording so what, I don't care what ANYONE says!!!!
This album is peak James for me. His vocals have this rich, cinematic quality that elevate the symphony performance.
Yess.... The sound of his laughter.... Give me a chill...
His vocals were heavily tuned in post for the S&M performance, well documented and easy to spot if you've ever done vocal pitch editing.
After listen to this, there is no other version for this song to me...
new york s&m is aviable too ^^
Nicolás Riveros so true
Yes I agree with you.
Same
No
Jason's backing vocals in this makes me miss him even more.
Jason's backing (even co-) vocals were simply the most precious gem of the post-Burton era.
This is infinitely better than the album version, i loved S&M
Yea. I actually heard this version before the album version. I was too young in 1991 to have any idea but I watched this exact performance on MTV in 1999 when I was 15. Fell in love with it first listen and went out to buy some Metallica albums!
One of the best versions of a song ever! Jealous of everyone who got to witness this live - what an experience!
I could only imagine the goosebumps
This is the single most valuable song in music history to me. What a jewel.
Out of curiosity, why?
Disturbed cover of - Sound of Silence is another jewel!
I agree! This song moves my heart in a way no other piece of music can do.
@@slickchick8292 can you try Stairway to Heaven by Heart, tribute to Led Z on youtube and let me know ?
both are equal for me :)
@@giuseppemandelli3531 It’s for him/her. It’s important to him/her as in they’re self. It’s their opinion.
Metallica never got better than the S&M album.
Fight me.
You just made two statements.
I'm not wrong.
Agree
I think s&m 2 had better nothing else matters and other songs but okay.
Death Magnetic is another masterpiece if u listen to it carefully
@@ThePzycho1 definitely the UNClipped guitar hero versions. But the cd they put out was garbage.
today (21-4-2021) it is exactly 22 years ago this concert was performed, fuck man time has gone by so fast
Good old days
I remember watching this on VH1 or something with my dad way back in the day. I never was a huge Metallica fan but this concert always blew me away
You got that sure as hell right.
I remember watching this on VH1 when i was in my 20's, now I'm 42 and have kids of my own that idolize these guys.
I raised them well.
Yes the poor orchesta director died

Its probs cause he's infront of the s.f.s o n wanted to no ve as "Lars" as he usually is
Lars faces are there pretty much for the rest of the show here. :D It's like... just this particular iterarion of Nothing Else Matters where it seems that... um... nothing else matters.
5:49 one manages to slip through here :>

Napster on the past?
Tiktok now...
This has to be one of the best things a 90's kid can have in his childhood.
The best version, i think so...
I agree
100% 🤟
Agree...
Does contend but S&M2 version/Black album tour versions are better..
It's should be a crime that this (currently) has less than a million views. What an absolute masterpiece.
Ass shaking = views
now we got more than a million views
The crowd was so calm when james played the solo... This is amazing...
Opened the dancefloor on my wedding day with this exact song back in 2008. Here again in June 2021 - still amazing.
Fair play to James for playing that solo on acoustic, he must have some seriously light gauge strings on it for those bends.
The distorsion, my électrique guitare don't have this song
That part was the first reason I started to play guitar.. It's unbelieveble
R.I.P Michael Kamen ! Thank you for this masterpiece!
Metallica could be easily a celtic band. The way James sings in this video sounds celtic.
Played this at my best mates funeral. What a great song choice it was and everyone loved it
The most beautiful song ever written
2020 and still rules..
Lars was amazing in this performance. He lead the entire orchestra
Well, Michael Kamen leads the orchestra. ;)
@@shawarmageddonit - woosh
Who's here during lockdown?
May 9th, 2020, easily the best version of this song, so calming!
The best ever ✌️
With God, Nothing else matters ❤ from a Nana who still loves Metallica
One of the greatest songs ever written
*One of the best Intro's...the song itself its just Em,D,C & the Lyrics are basic. Thats my opinion but I love the song and Nothing else Matters ♥️
Just perfect. Crawls under your skin.
Goosebumps
I used to love hip hop/rap and this kind of songs are definitely not my type of songs, but this song is pretty epic
The best live version of this amazing song🫶🏻 Thank you Metallica and Michael Kamen. 2023 and I still love this masterpiece🤘🏻
I never get tired of this album a true testimony of the 90's
James has always played the solo on Nothing Else Matters. Also his quitar is electro-acoustic, thus he can make it sound whatever he wants ;)
Thanks man. I'm a bit confused of who did the solo because james plays on acoustic 😄
I got here from an edited Kerry King video. I was so lost
@@aarontheone7193 just got here from that same video, I was beyond confused too
Maestro Michael Kamen surely gave this song a brand new life.
Im here after listening to S&M2.
Same! Honest opinion. Of the 2 which do you prefer?
This one!
Same! I think everybody feel the same hahaha thats why we are here
For me, S&M 1 is passion, pure art. S&M2 ? Sorry but...
This one is a million times better than s&m 2. More heartfelt and just played better
2017 and still melting..
me too.
mohd hASIF same here mate😊
2018 and still melting as well
2018 and still melting
2019 and still melting
That flute......just omg. Michael Kamen you are just on a different level
this is the song i listen to whenever i'm frustrated or stressed out. When I die I want this song to be played at my funeral.
Well,2022 is just around the corner,and this masterpiece is still the best version of this song ever recorded
this has got to be the best live performance of any song ever in the history of live performances ever!PERIOD!!!!!!
The best performance they have ever made.
how can you dislike this, this is one of the best performances of any type of music of all time.
My all-time fav from! THANK YOU METALLICA!!thank you for upload!!! GAMAZDAS piano version brought actually brought me back here today!!!!🔥
❤ Undoubtedly best version of this song
The distortion on the acoustic guitar solo sounded surprisingly good
the best metallica album and honestly i dont care about any of their other albums...
Awesome
In 2020, I proved myself wrong by telling that, this concert is still the best orchestral-metal-rock concert evvver!!!
This is real ART !!!
This and bleeding me are the best performances in this album
This is the most beautiful MASTERPIECE I have ever heard in my life. When will there be another concert like this?
I wish I could have been there.
Sadly probably never this was i belive a mtv aired concert and they no longer focus on bands
This is what it feels to listen to nothing else matters for the first time.
This song plays in my wedding for sure 😂👌🏽 The bride speaking 😂
We had it as a first dance at the reception, there are no words to express my gratitude towards the band for this song.
Bedo Calaway when there r no words to express..nothin else matters mate.. RomaNtic Love
It was our first dance.
we played this coming down the aisle at my wedding 10 years ago
It was my vowes at my wedding
THANK YOU GOD, FOR GIVIN ME SUCH A GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC!! I LOVE THESE GUYS
I was in college when I use to listen this live version for hour and hours
Man life changed now everything is just beautiful memories and I am leaving everything behind and time has changed so fast so quickly
Well I was in my 20s now 33 😔 I wish life would be same again
I could just sit and listen to the melody of this all day.
90s bands did the unplugged thing…Metallica brought out the symphony and it’s amazing.
Absolutely outstanding performance of this one. Great song, but this performance elevates it to historic levels.
i feel like crying i first heard this song back in 2002 whene i was in high school i used to hear it round and round non stop even if i didn't understand much englishe at the time as we only had four hours a week of englishe courses in morocco...now i'm married and have a litle boy and we are enjoying this epic awfully sccesful song together it seems that my litle boy is a metalhead just like me.

this is the best Metallica song together with master of puppets and no leaf clover
This one and mama I'm coming home are my favorite metal songs
I used to listen to this when I started smoking pot. I had an eargasm each time
The clarinestist looking at James is priceless.
That clean tone... just wow!
S&M > S&M2 version
S&M2 sucks
If I really had to name the best song I have ever heard, it would be this song in this version. Absolutely masterful.
A master piece
that entry of the solo....give me chill
The only words for this performance is awesome
this is the best version.
Thank you for making me cry, James.
Definitivamente es mejor esta versión que la del nuevo sinfónico
Best album by far
Absolutely perfect.
Gives me chills today and the first time I heard this
Masterpiece
This is the last chance for the 90s.
I lov so much
The drums sounds fantastic on this recording!
What a voice
my favorite cd from them! long live METALLICA!!!
Such an incredibly well written, composed, and performed song.
RIP Micheal Kamen .. El Maestro; without this, and many others, would have impossible ..
Favourite song in the world. Pure perfection
Hetfield is a S+++ on this one. He sings amazingly beautiful and plays the guitar solo as well. And he does on an acoustic. Stunning.
i loves this song for the eternity
The best version of this song and the best song ever ❤
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
Chissà se coloro che suonarono questo pezzo, pensavano a quante emozioni avrebbero scatenato in ogni parte del mondo per molti anni a venire
how anyone could not like that!!! absolutly great!!
The solo is so much better than in the studio version!
Amazing concert, probs to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Metallica!
Suena espectacular!!!
magic avec un orchestre symphonique !
Maybe this is the most epic song who Metallica was made and everyone know and love.
