Damn, i didn’t think they would ever play this again
With the 30th anniversary they'll end up playing all of them from the Black album!
@@SteveKaynan YESSSS
I wish they'd touch the AJFA album sooner or later
@@SteveKaynan thats what they did for this show! I was there!
@@rogueoutbreak5967 you're lucky! Can't wait to see them in concert but for now I'm appreciating the live videos they are sharing!
Such an underrated, kick-ass, monster of a song.
With an awesome solo!
Very much, this song to me always felt like it was dropped from AJFA. It fits that album with its tone and speed.
One of my favorites!
most metallica songs: exist
comment section: UNDERRATED
@@karoltbg Yeah you're gonna have to go ahead and prove that.
I've never seen Metallica so happy on stage like they are right now.
They are lovely crazy, wish you to see and to feel!!
@@inachu6286 Actually I'm currently waiting on their new dates for Brazil Tour and I couldn't be more happy to see them as they are right now, couldn't be more glad that they reschedule that tour
Riding the wave…. Feels good to be out enjoying something fun. Bonus- watching Metallica in person.
On the surface. But you can tell Hetfield is truly terrified, he tries to hide it. He tries to convince himself he isn't responsible for what happened that night. "You lie so much, you believe yourself." And after 10 28 he'll carry even more guilt with him to his final days. 59 is right around the corner. His judgement day draws near.
@@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960 why he terrorfied friend
James sounds fantastic. 18 months off did a wonder for these guys.
Yes think so hopefully they wrote gd music songs for next album be 5years next month since last one
@@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987 I just looked it up because that didn't sound right. Fastest 5 years of my life
@@Nu_Chowe it feels like yesterday but at the same time it's been an eternity, omg
You flush it out! You flush it out!
Monster musician
It's funny how when Lars hasn't played a certain song in a long time he does his homework and plays it almost note for note like this song. Others that he plays frequently he improvises a lot, and rarely does it sound like the album version. Nice job on this one.
I completely agree. He sounded nearly flawless on this track live...
Exactly. And to be fair, I would welcome improvisations on songs we've heard 100 times before live, but Lars consistently proves he doesn't have the chops or feel to make them fit.
@@blppt Yeah exactly, Sad But True is the biggest culprit for this. The song just needs a simple, steady, heavy beat like the recording but live he does so many fills in the verses it takes away from the original feel
I noticed that as well. The improvising is fucking horrible too. Snare Snare Snare Snare Snare Snare.....
@@jd0879 Agreed
Wow, boggles mind how James can play that riff and sing at the same time.
He’s the fucking greatest ever.
Me too, man. The verse on this song is nuts.
Pretty crazy
Impossible is nothing for the man who played and wrote the solo riff to Frayed Ends of Sanity.
Practice, and then more practice. Did I mention practice?
This is one of, if not, THE MOST UNDER-RATED SONGS BY METALLICA EVER.
Я к примеру оценил давно)
Fucking criminal it only had one cover on the blacklist. I know it was for charity and all but I guarantee they had to beg some people to cover a bunch of the tracks. Way too many covers of Sandman and Nothing.
The Unnamed feeling has entered the chat
Fixxxer said hello
That title goes to poor twisted me
That riff after the solo, best riff of the whole Black album
Agree, but so is the middle riff in Don't Tread On Me!! 😎🤟👍
Yeah headbang is real 😎
Something great about Metallica is that they don't mind "wasting" a killer riff on an eight-bar bridge. They write riffs that could easily base entire songs and fit them all on only one. 😆
And so simple, most open string and power chords up the neck!
I dont believe in Metallica "filler" riffs but every riff they've ever had, most bands would kill to have them as their main songs haha
I wish other bands also provide professional footage of the shows
Not many bands have the budget metallica have to hire professionals recording teams for every show, but Metallica has always done good things for the fans, very appreciative of their fans.
@@lpc90 yep, imagine how many families metallica feeds
@@lpc90 100%. Metallica is mega rich and can afford to hire people to photograph and mix these shows and present them in a way they deem fit for their fans.
They still have folks on there crew from the 80s they are very loyal to the crew...
Tool!
Great performance, Lars was tight, singing sounded good, Kirk nailed the solo.
Rob wasn't that good at the backing vocals though. A shame since he's been a lot better in recent years compared to how he sounded during his first 10 or so years.
@@mungofinalfi4480 it's time like this that Jason is truly missed, his bark on backing vocals was insane!!
One thing though : the guitars seems not that heavy, they are way more saturated on the studio version
Jason's backing vocals is great, but he can't play tallica songs anymore so he can't come back. HOWEVER, Lars might have a shot at bacling vocals if he can sing while playing drums. Yes, Lars can sing.
@@marcthedashergd6321 I think he did backups in one of their charity shows in the 2000s
5:30.. that riff is MADNESS
Ah yes, the good-ol' 30th anniversary celebrations. Only 6 more years until we finally hear fixxxer live!
Hopefully
Fixxxer is all I can hope for when I imagine the 30th anniversaries of Load/Reload 🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@lkracker7 I’m praying for fixxxer hopefully with songs like bleeding me and hero of the day
Just wait for the 40th Anniversary show this month.......Fixxxer GUARANTEED!!
YOU GOT IT BRO
I give Rob credit for trying with the backing vocals but we all know Jason always nailed it whether he sang back up or even lead
5:30 this is one of the best riffs ever written!! That had to be played longer. I don't know how many times I replayed it
haha same
Struggle needs to absolutely stay in rotation. I’ve seen the boys 34 times to date, and it was definitely a breath of fresh air hearing this in the setlist. (2nd time I’ve seen it live!) Same thing with Misery & Tread. 🤘🤘
34 times wow man that's awesome. Only 5 for me. First time was on justice tour.
@@AllOuttaBubblegum123 life well spent man. No regrets. 🤘
3 times here
Best Solo on the album. Best post-solo riff in the whole discography.
Crazy comment.
Creeping death post solo is the best imo
But i agree with being the best solo in the black album, together with whenever i may roam
Frayed Ends Of Sanity is better in my opinion
@@_Iss but the best riff is the one before the solo
@@Gabrostil the one after the solo 👀
Genuinely impressed with James voice here. I know people have been saying he sounds really good now, but this is the first video I’ve seen where he sounds amazing again.
Agreed
100%
He's been resting for an entire year something him or Metallica isn't exactly used to i guess during 2020 they have been practicing and tying up loose ends in their performance but also maybe they been a bit in the studio getting in great shape to record some new stuff that's been coming from the absence of touring :)
It's a huge relief, because on some of the stuff they released in 2020, even some of the Stern stuff, I thought he sounded awful. I was worried his voice was finally just gone. But this is much better
He can hit high notes and hold them now go look at live in 2019 vids and compare lol
I hope they add this to their live sets more often, such a kick ass song. They should play the riff at 5:31 at least one more time too. Way too short for being so killer.
lars defenitely relearned the song. his drumming sounds so good
I love the ending RIFF ... Thank you Metallica , you are the soundtrack of my life
It's been a Struggle Within and out for such a long time...my angels, your music really helps with it all...thank you...maybe one day in this life I'll get to see you live 🤘😇👑💓💜
Same Ma
👍👍👍🤟😎
Great you show gratitude towards your Angels 😇
Kirk's solo is terrific, as well as the riff just after the solo. Great song!
The first time I heard Metallica was "phantom Lord" on a Metalblade Records compilation cassette tape in 1983, and I've been a fan ever since. This is probably the tightest I've heard them be in a LONG time. I've been with them through all of their changes, and I'll be with them until I leave this planet... 🤘🤘
this was my first ever Metallica song...and DAMN; James sounds good here! Never expected them to play this one again
I think I had Black Album in 1993 on the tape and I was listening to it for one or two years. And I didn't suspect that this album has three additional unbelievable songs! I mean mine black album wasn't a license record and it was just recorded on the one side of 90 minutes tape. So for a long time, I thought it has only 9 songs, and the last one was Of Wolf And Man. And now you can imagine how I was surprised when I have listened to the three last songs! They had been my best songs for a very long time, my friend.
must be the beard. 🤣🤘
The songs they barely ever play live would be massive hits for just about any band. What a banger of a song.. love listening to this song on a good car audio set up.
🤘👨🤘
I can see why this song wasnt a priority back in the day when it got overshadowed by a lot of the other songs on the album, but this song should have definitely been played way more as a deep cuts back in the day. The fact that they waited so long to play this at all still baffles me sometimes.
ive said this once and i'll say it again... the riff after the solo is one of metallica's greatest riffs.
Kirk slayed that solo!!!!! New tempos are working out really great live!
AWESOME!! Love that song!! IMO one of Kirk's best solos, and without wah! hehe. And what a killer guitar, an absolute beauty.
Yes always loved on the documentary of the footage showing Kirk construct and lay down this solo! 🤟😎
@@SteveKaynan Agree! That's in part why a love it so much. Must have watched A year and half a million times back in the day... still have the VHS.
@@robmercado me too, it was the first dvd I ever owned in 1999!! Lol Kirk is sounding even better post lockdown!
He does use the wah but not a lot lol just some sections
Whole band sounds tight! Im continually impressed by them for almost 3 decades now. crazy.
I've read this "best they've sounded live like the 80s" stuff under a TON of metallica videos over the years but this is the first time I have to agree - It makes me so deeply happy to see my teenage heroes, the reason why I started playing guitar, getting their stuff sorted out playing tight as ever, not saying they sounded bad live over the last few decades but this stuff that's happening at the moment is just nuts
James voice sounds insanely good, Lars is actually on time, Kirk's solo sounded amazing. All around they've been sounding wayyy better lately
By Christ! That's a blinding version of one of my fave black album tracks! Super tight, super chunky and James' vocals are absolutely dead on. He's using his old Black album pissed off bark here, and boy, is it sweet to hear it again!☺ \m/
Struggle Within is really excellent. A powerful song from our 4 Horsemen
It's impressive how they play , and even more so with their age, it is incredible that they continue to make an amazing version of this song!!
The best live version of The Struggle Within? The best version ❤️
The small break down towards the end of the track, the 5-6 second hard riff that you can’t help but BREAK YOUR NECK TO…
Best thing ever. That little extra. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary.
Dear METALLICA: you are the greatest band on this planet! I love you with with my entire soul. Metallica = life
How thrilled I am to see my favorite band playing live today the sound that made me know and love this band thirty years ago...
I'm happy to be 41 today and to be enjoying this sound since I was a kid.
Thank you Metallica!
Надо же.и у меня стаж 30 лет Металлики
me too brother :)
They absolutely sound fantastic right now then not playing a show for this long was probably the best thing that happened to them. The live click track is working wonderful speeds are perfect no rushing no sloppiness it sounds great I can't wait till they are out on tour.
Happy 30 Years Old Black Album 💿 🖒
Metallica the Best Band ever 🎸
Thank James, Lars, Kirk and Rob
I wanna see the Black Album intro!
It better have the intro 🙏
You got it
Yessir we got it indeed!
Fuck the black album.....kill'em all
@@mackattack3992 😂 why you watching the struggle within live then
Better that 10 years ago, meanwhine we all waiting for Eye Of The Beholder
Yeah...they should play full of justice too..like these black album
I don't think they would play it ever again, Lars has said he doesn't like that song, and i think he's the one who makes the setlists
@@HeavyRaiden Also as much as I don't approve of the shitting on lars's drumming ability, there is no way in hell he'd be able to play ajfa in its entirety.
@@shuppagail I think he could do it, but just not as it was recorded on the album, he would simplify fills, grooves and most likely remove double bass sections altogether. Heck, he can't even play Dyers Eve in a regular show, he would probably be more than tired after playing all of AJFA to play it.
5:30 this riff is so nice
BEST SONG ON THE BLACK ALBUM! This song has got me through some tough times. James sounds awesome - he is my hero! This song is brutal fast and heavy AF! I love it!!
THEY SOUND SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was at this concert at LTL. Sounded as good as ever. They killed every song. Body surfers everywhere lol
Incredible opening. Gave me chills. Band sounds as amazing as ever!!
30 years later! ... WOW performance.
DAMN KIRK IS ON FIRE!!!! These guys sound better than ever!!
Todos eles são muito inteligentes. Acertaram a mão e o tempo em cheio. O que "falta" de velocidade não falta de precisão. Coube perfeitamente no momento em que vivem (idade; período parado devido ao isolamento). Sensacional. É a melhor banda do planeta.
perfeito comentário
Sim.
Eles mostram que estão Ali ao vivo.. ficou demais
Translate got you a like
Exatamente
Looks like the band is slowly but surely getting used to Lars having consistent timing.
Lars tempos have sounded much better post lockdown!
@@SteveKaynan Crazy the difference a metronome makes
@@jd0879 yes absolutely, the entire band is sounding even better post lockdown
@@jd0879 exactly! Glad he’s using one!!
i've heard that they play to a click now
This one I don't hear live very often, 🤘🏻😻🤘🏻
Got to see Metallica twice!
Black Album
And Justice tour..
Never stopped FEELING IT!!!..
though I wondered what would become of a metal band in their 50s.
This just BRINGS THE TRUTH!!!
these guys are like a good Rum!!!
As they age, they just get more refined!!!
That sound is incredible! I love Trujillo but Jason has fantastic backing vocals.
Always love seeing these more rare tracks played live. Dark horse Black Album track🤘🤘💥💥💥💥
STRUGGLE!
My favorite song from Metallica 🤟🏽
Go!.. DUNNN DUNNN DNDNDN...use to rewind that on my walk man as a kid over and over. Doing again.
Love that song, so happy they get a different set lists!!!!!
Always loved this and Don't Tread On Me from the Black album! 🤟
Massively underrated tracks, many people think these are the worst from the album - for me one of the best
@@FatMilkPL I love the entire album, but I always considered "My Friend of Misery," "Don't Tread On Me," "The Struggle Within," and "Holier than Thou" as my favorites more than the radio singles etc.
My favourite song on the black album
That song live .....yesssss
It would’ve been cool if Jason came on stage with them. Still love ya Rob.
That's a good song can't wait to see it
I love, when James says GO and them the riff omgg😍😍
One of Kirk s coolest solos in my opinion. I really like when he doesn’t improvise and plays them like the originals.
these guitar tones are so good.
My 2 favourite Metallica songs from that album are The Struggle Within and Don't Tread on Me. I find these 2 really underestimated. For me they are way heavier and interesting than the more famous songs from that album.
god that solo was AMAZING
lars doing really good, feel like the old days!
Metallica for ever
My speakers like this song. My speakers ❤ Metallica. My neighbours not so much 😁
Love Metallica
Metallica is reborn! God damn they are great! Lars found the fountain of youth and he's playing better than ever!
Glad I was there to see this gem! Great performance!
So blessed to see them!🤘🤟🤘💯
It was my first time seeing them! Been trying for years. Won’t be the last.
THIS IS THE BEST STRUGGLE VERSION !!! And why everybody knows that Lars is using a metronome and working with a click? I like that he use some help!! This is not a Problem And they Are getting older and sounds better. Why Not. Lars does a well Job :)
That right there, that was badass.
„GO“….. I love so much this part of the song…
I came for Kirk's solo
Kirk killed this solo!!! Hell yeah!! 🤘
This song kicks ass every time I hear it. Blessing to hear that they're playing it live again. Sounding strong, Metallica!🔥🤘🏼
Loving these so much. Hadn’t heard that song in along time 💪
I love this channel, "everyone reading this may you be blessed"!!!
👍👍🤟🌍
Met fan 4 Life! Rock On Dude!
What a sound! Love it!
my favorite song by metallica
Metallica 4Life! 🤟🔥
What a head banger 🤘
Love them! Awesome 😎 like always!
Wow they went and nailed it! Awesome!
I wish they would turn up Rob's mic
Awesome to see Lars taking drumming seriously again. His playing has been great the last 2 years..
IT ROCKS!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Saw this front row at this show! Once in a lifetime experience
Божественная музыка! Исполнение на высоте 🤘🏼 лучшие
I am Trujillo fan from suicidal tendencies...
I came across this " kick ass" Song when i saw 1 and a half year documentery... How Kirk sits in the Studio and Hammers that solo just like it's nothing!
Wow!!!
Wonderful! 💯
Drummers: if you’re touring, it’s totally fine to have a click in ear. You wanna give the same high quality product night after night? Click track! No shame! Good for you Lars
Lars isn't using a click here. He's been practicing with it though.
@@anttiraitala he does now.
@@jiboo6850 You can test to match a bpm to his performance, it's impossible.
@@anttiraitala 😂😂😂😂 then YOU have an issue not him.
Hahahahah people still think Metallica plays with a click which they obviously don't. I hope they never play with a click live. That's part of being a musician. It is art, is about feel, improvisation and not being a robot.
If you "struggle" watching the whole video, the song starts at 2:26
This song could be a kick-ass gig opener !
Wow! brought all my good 90's memories! Great performance!
