Joshua Heath Garcia ...ABSOLUTELY 🤘😄🤘 I hate hearing about anyone struggling with personal demons & as we know, the hardest part is taking that first step & admitting you have a problem & seeking help. I hope James comes out of rehab an even better man than he was when he went in 🤞😎🤞
@@gerardroll6468 well good job brother. Proud of you man. Addiction recovery requires a brutal self honesty that allows us to see through our own indenial. I never thought in a million years that I would struggle with a meth addiction for 6 years. I've been clean over a year now and I have gone further in life in this first year then I thought I ever would in a lifetime.
It just hit me... this song is pretty much the old testament book of Exodus, so does that make this the hardest, fastest, quickest, and largest public sermon ever given?
There was no parking area at all. It was impossible to get close to the airfield by personal car. Public roads was blocked by police to allow thousands of people to reach airfield by foot from subway, local train station and bus/trolleybus stops.
No joke, I saw Metallica in 2008 in Tucson Arizona and the event staff left after they came on. It took us four and a half hours to get out of the parking lot after the show
1991 in Russia was a special time. This particular show named “Monsters of Rock” took place in USSR that has been completely dissolved later, the same year. First and last metal festival of that scale in USSR. One of the main cultural events that had shaped the following decade. I was born in 1989 in Russia (and still living here) and 90’s were a tough period for the people here. I don’t remember first five years of the decade well personally but the echo of that time period still affects us. People in USSR of the Iron Curtain period (that officially ended in 1993) haven’t had an experience with such things. There was a cultural blockade and after 1993 there was an explosion: people realized that there is a lot of things they can do. 90’s were the time of business tightly bonded with organized crime like mafia in US. And people in Russia were obsessed by the “American Dream”. It all started in the late 80’s and was the time of the denial of soviet legacy. And this metal festival was a revolution in Russian musical traditions brought straight from the USA. A part of the same “American Dream”. It was like “that’s what they listen to in America”. Very significant and truly historical event. I’ve simplified some things here a little: there was metal in Russia already. Rock music and heavy metal weren’t a completely alien phenomenon. There were bands playing metal but it was the first event of this scale featuring very popular bands from abroad. Almost all the people you’ve seen there had their first metal concert ever. Just imagine. It was like a breath of fresh air for the first time in their life after years of isolation in the stuffy place. I don’t say that everything before was bad. I’m saying how people felt there. Now we have a lot of metal shows and festivals featuring bands from abroad, Metallica including. It seems like common stuff now but it all has started there, in 1991 in Moscow on the Tushino aerodrome where 1.6 million people almost literally touched the real metal music for the first time.
@@joshfromtexasrevgang126 ....and for some strange reason, Counting Crows or The Black Crows (I don't know....one of those "crow" bands. Hell, maybe it was Sheryl Crow). They stuck out like a sore thumb. Such a strange idea to put them in the line-up with the likes of AC/DC, Metallica and Pantera.
They were Russians being freed from the Iron Curtain, behind which very few western entertainers dared to venture. They were there to see pretty much ANYTHING from the west; hence the enormity of the crowd.
Crazy thing about the monsters in Moscow concerts is just 2 prior the Berlin Wall came down. Before that event and the collapse of the Soviet Union no American bands were playing there.
This story is straight from the Bible. When Moses tried to bring God's word to the Egyptian's. This is how I convinced my mom Metallica wasn't devil music.
Defensive Wounds nope just different, listen to violent and funky by infectious grooves if u rlly wanna here Roberts best bass work, though I agree it’s definitely not with metallica
Agreed, different but not better. I think Jason had a more entertaining stage presence and made a great secondary front man to take over some vocal and banter responsibilities. At least the American leg of this tour, there was no opening act, so it was like 3 hours straight of Metallica. They had to keep that energy up all night. It worked, in part, because they had James and Jason on a tag team to engage the crowd.
Is the bassist in this concert Jason newsted?? I always thought it was Cliff. I've seen photos of Jason and this guy doesn't look like Jason!! I think this is Cliff and then when they next toured USA their tour bus crashed and Cliff died.
@@katherineschmidt2075 it's from 1991. It's Jason. Jason had the curly mohawk through the Justice and Black Album tours and was always bouncing off the walls. Cliff always had a fairly straight full head of hair and moved around a bit more casually.
Joe Troutt, your point is... He specifically mentioned liking this riff, so I pointed out that Kirk wrote that at a young age. Also, listen to Stranglehold and tell me a riff can’t be an entire song.
@@dknollRX7 I read the same mention about this riff on another video and Kirk writing it before joining Metallica and it pretty much implies that Kirk is solely responsible for this song. Forget stranglehold. We're not talking about that song.
Joe Troutt, I never claimed he wrote the whole song. I let him know that Kirk wrote this riff...and Stranglehold is a great example of one riff being an entire song.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet in the comments, but when James Hetfield was on Joe Rogan's podcast he said that this performance will always be in his mind as one of the most significant moments in world history. Communism had yet to fall but he said he could see it slowly unraveling during that performance. 1.5M people chanting "DIE!" would be sobering for those military guys providing security. That would be a HIGH "pucker factor" for sure! Great reaction, man! Watch "Harvester Of Sorrow" from the same show. Mindblowing!
@@fetumhook - It doesn't have to be one or other, between socialism or capitalism (real communism though is definitely not possible yet.) Most developed countries are Socialist-Capitalist states, including the United States. But again, communism is definitely too extreme in this current day and age. But for reals, the historical context of this concert is awesome. It's one of the moments in history where it genuinely gave me pride to be an American. Our "Soft power" was in full flex-mode.
Lyrics are a GREAT to have, Metal music can be pretty deep and first listeners tend to overlook them. Black Sabbath started this genre in 1970 with the song also named Black Sabbath. Give it a listen one day.
Metallica live is a trip!! Talk about thousands of air guitar players all at ounce!! It was awesome!!!! Not to mention this is one of my favorite songs off of Ride the Lightning!!!
I highly recommend you check out Metallica's Call of Ktulu and Orion. Both are instrumentals where they really flex their muscle with just their instruments. Both are musical masterpieces.
Saw Metallica in 1989 during the Justice tour. They played this song later in the first set. Wasn't a huge place, but it was crowded. Few days later rumor spread that several security guards "stepped" into the lobby area near the doors during our "DIE" chant.
I got to see them in 94. The show was nuts. Kirk Hammet said yeah MFer a lot. I noticed they didn't show a lot of his face in this performance😂 I'm not one to watch reaction vids much but I have to say, your reactions keep me watching.
Dude!!! We’re the same age. I was 11 when this was on. 1 year later I was lucky enough to be snuck into Monsters of Rock at donington england where they played almost the same set. Been hooked ever since
Thanks for the Memories dude, going to break out my old Concert t-shirts and wear a few I've been to a couple of their concerts and they where electric.
To truly appreciate this song, watch that movie with Yul Brenner (who plays the Egyptian Pharoah) and Charleston Heston ( who plays Moses). I think that it came out in the 1950s. You'll understand the song more.
Bro, we had the best generation of music, period. Do you remember when the so called experts said Metallica was just a fad and wouldn't last after Killem All came out? LOL The joke is on them!!!!!
i saw them early when monsters of rock came to my aria, tried to make my way to the front for metalica was stuck in the middle for most of their performance like 10 rows deep, no joke at one point my feet diddnt even touch the ground for a good 5 mins maybe 10, and i was 165 lbs at 5 11, just jam packed and sway with the crowd ,no control .... good times ... awesome show
Jamel, love watching you. I'm Mark, also known as, Mark. ;-) I was 19 then. No expert by any means, but a young man absorbing his world intently. Think of this moment. Still excites me. Ever since the end of WWII, Moscow and U.S. had been growing into greater and greater enemies. Communism vs democracy. Proxy wars. Korea. Vietnam. Cuban Missile Crisis. Cold War. Spying. Space Race. Nuclear Arms Race. Star Wars Defense. Movies like The Day After and Red Dawn, etc., to set the mood. Eventually the U.S. outlasted the Soviet Union who was spread too thin and did not have the economy to match us. Soviet Union began to crumble. Yet, here was Russia allowing Metallica into Moscow, their power center. Trying to signal a new freedom for its people and an openness to the West? But it's still Moscow. Authorities all over the place. Tension. Built up angst in the attendees. So when the crowd starts flying all around with energy, and everyone screams "Die" repeatedly for five minutes. It's a heckuva moment. Die Communism? Die Cold War? Die going to bed in fear? Die anyone who tries that again! - I know others played Moscow. Billy Joel, etc? But Metallica doesn't mess around. 2 - 3 hrs of a musical middle finger to the Man on volume 12. - In any complete timeline of history, this concert has an entry.
That concert is one of the best they ever recorded. They were at the top of their game and playing in front of a million and a half Russians that just needed to blow off some steam after the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR dissolved a couple of years before. The band and the audience fed off each other's energy like few shows I've seen.
I saw them few years back at my home city and not a big city maybe 2 to 300 at concert. But they rocked it out just as much as this 20 years later. They are true artist of there craft.
Would love to see you react to the official video for Kaitangata by Alien Weaponry the video gives more context to the story being told unless for some unlikely reason you're fluent in Te reo Maori which they're singing in (which is the indigenous language of New Zealand)
The lyrics were written around the plague sequence in “The Ten Commandments.” According to the band, they were recording the album in Europe, and one of the TV stations there showed Ten Commandments constantly.
I was at Woodstock 94 along with about 400,000 other crazy Metallica fans. I thought that was nuts but this man what an experience that must have been.🤘
The final show from the 1991 Monsters of Rock European tour. Crowd estimates range from 800,000 to 1.5 million. This was in the dying days of the Soviet Union, just a couple of months before it was dissolved. Apparently Mikhail Gorbachev himself gave approval for the concert. Note that Metallica weren't even the headliners, AC/DC was.
You need to whole watch the concert video to get the scale, when you see the military choppers flying over the crowd you get a sense of the scale, it is incredible.
I see your metal reactions are much more popular than Angelina videos.I wish all these metal-fans would know about her.I'm one of them(since like 1993),but recently I only listen to Angelina.
Also.. hey man I'm.new to your channel and watching it grow. Keep up the good videos . Alot of funny stories from that concert. Hetfield laughs now adays how they would never let helicopters fly over people today lol
first saw metallica (with cliff burton!) in 1985 at cain's ballroom. there wasn't anywhere near a big crowd like this but i felt there someday would be...................
You know what they say about Jason, but he's probably the best on stage performance man they ever had, this guy really makes me rock my fucking brains out, miss him in Metallica...
Dude I love this shit I listened to everything back in the day but I went more hip hop cuz I loved rap b boyin tagging breaking..it was new for me n I jumped right in..I love that you are jamming to this I love it..keep up the great work please show the world its not kill everyone's parents n shit they actually positive...thanks for takin the time to check it out..love these I'm sharing with everyone
This is one of the most powerful demonstrable examples of 'soft power' and is America at or near it's absolute zenith. Millions of people joyfully freaking out and absorbing an entirely new culture.
Creeping Death is the greatest song written about the story of Passover. 1.6 Million people....and this is only 3rd on the all time list of crowds at an open air concert. #1 is Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a crowd of 3.5 Million in 1994. #2 was Jean Michel Jarre in 1997 also in Russia, like that Metallica show, with 3.5 Million.
The "DIE" chant is actually a part of the song. Talking about the Angel of Death that goes around killing all male born babies (from the Bible) unless you put lambs blood above your door.
Praying for James hetfield on his journey through rehab. Let's hope for the best

The thing about Metallica is they bring it this intense EVERY song, EVERY show, to this day. Amazing talent, drive, and passion.
The best shot of the crowd and the helicopters flying around from that show in Moscow, is from the song Enter Sandman. It´s unbelivable to witness.

6:29 that riff was written by Kirk Hammett (lead guitarist) when he was 15 years old, before he joined Metallica.

Seen Metallica live when they where in philly. They did two days in a row and went both times. This band is amazing live.
Hello from Cody Wyoming! You are so awesome keep it up! I watch your reactions every night🤠
These were my old energy days back then . Proud to observe all best of the best of both heavy metal and death metal in their peak up to the mid 90's .

I was 19 then. No expert by any means, but a young man absorbing his world intently. Think of this moment. Still excites me. Ever since the end of WWII, Moscow and U.S. had been growing into greater and greater enemies. Communism vs democracy. Proxy wars. Korea. Vietnam. Cuban Missile Crisis. Cold War. Spying. Space Race. Nuclear Arms Race. Star Wars Defense. Movies like The Day After and Red Dawn, etc., to set the mood.

You need to whole watch the concert video to get the scale, when you see the military choppers flying over the crowd you get a sense of the scale, it is incredible.
That was 3 hours live non stop typical tallica concert best i ever seen back in 94 I think they played in Melbourne Vic Australia
I see your metal reactions are much more popular than Angelina videos.I wish all these metal-fans would know about her.I'm one of them(since like 1993),but recently I only listen to Angelina.
The good old days when we had metal. Slaaaves!
RIP Cliff.
Somebody that knows. I still cannot believe how Cliff wrote this song in one night watching the Ten Commandments movie.
I was at the big 4 at palmsprings they opened with this song it was insane so sick
You know y'all just here for the "Die, die, die" part.
And they still do that same energy to this day.
Another great crowd is in Colombia with iron maiden doing run to the hills💕🇨🇦
I'm 55yo and seen them 13 times best metal band ever
Saw them around this time. Loved them before they were big.
That is Jason Newsted on bass. The cold part you are referring to. And Kirk is a beast too!
Love your shirts you wear and your reactions!!!
Also.. hey man I'm.new to your channel and watching it grow. Keep up the good videos . Alot of funny stories from that concert. Hetfield laughs now adays how they would never let helicopters fly over people today lol
Something about this many people chanting die just gives me the gnarliest goosebumps.
Greatest metal song and greatest metal performance in histoty
Same year I went to my second tallica concert
first saw metallica (with cliff burton!) in 1985 at cain's ballroom. there wasn't anywhere near a big crowd like this but i felt there someday would be...................
Like the reactions keep em coming
P.S. awesome shirt haha
Love your channel man
You know what they say about Jason, but he's probably the best on stage performance man they ever had, this guy really makes me rock my fucking brains out, miss him in Metallica...
The sound of FREEDOM!
Thank you for this Video 👊👊👊👊🤘✌️
There is nothing that could stop that crowd and the crazy in it!
METALLICA is the best 🤘my Fav band happy Metal, papahet my idol 👍
It was so loud they could literally feel the air pressure on stage that was created by the cheers of the crowd.
Definitely need to react to Harvester of Sorrow from this concert.

This is one of the most powerful demonstrable examples of 'soft power' and is America at or near it's absolute zenith. Millions of people joyfully freaking out and absorbing an entirely new culture.
Creeping Death is the greatest song written about the story of Passover.
1.6 Million people....and this is only 3rd on the all time list of crowds at an open air concert. #1 is Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a crowd of 3.5 Million in 1994. #2 was Jean Michel Jarre in 1997 also in Russia, like that Metallica show, with 3.5 Million.
The "DIE" chant is actually a part of the song. Talking about the Angel of Death that goes around killing all male born babies (from the Bible) unless you put lambs blood above your door.
