5:08 how James flicks his pick and grabs another one right before the harmony is so slick! Hetfield is still the fucking man.
Agreed. I hope I age as bad ass as this guy!
I was about to comment about this. I had this video playing in the living room and had to explain to my wife and 2yo son how Hetfield’s fluid pick exchange while playing and singing “watch it die” is one bad ass move that no one on earth will be able to replicate. I’m embarrassed to say that I made them rewatch this scene at least 3x and I’ve probably watched it over 20x myself.
that was really fast
unbelievable
You cannot be pointing these things out, it makes me question if James is a real human and not some subspeices metal monster
Yeah I saw that! Freakin epic
I’ve heard this song maybe a thousand times and I still get goosebumps when that intro hits. Every. Single. Time.
Yes agree 100% 🤘😎
same and the bridge too.
same here... same here
would go close to being the best ever intro ever written.
Newsted made it
James is a symbol of hope for me. To see all the shit he’s been through in his life and the battle with his personal demons yet continue to fight and come out on the better side of things just inspires me to apply that fight to my own life. I know he’ll never see this but it had to be said.
James embodies the expression "If you're going through hell - keep going".
yep
James is one of my biggest idols in life too, for those reasons as well as more, the true godfather of metal
What's he been through?
@@G-Man01 His father left the family when he was a teenager, shortly after that his mom died of cancer after refusing treatment for religious reasons, and then many many years of struggling with alcohol addiction after that
It’s super rare that a band gets better as they age!
Fucking superstars. Hot fire.
Let's not kid ourselves. No one is getting better with age. But... the level of awesome they are maintaining is astounding and incredible. I love this band!🤘🏻
Iron Maiden & Metallica. Fine art.
The only one that aged well is James. Lars has a smaller kit, which sound awful, at least he is hitting the double bass. Trujillo backing vocals sucks and Kirk remains the same with less energy.
@@MarcusVinicius-qo8hpoh yeah iron maiden are still fuckin beasts at their shows! Gotta hand it to Alice Cooper too tho whom I saw in 2012 and 2017 both shows at 65+ and from what I've seen hes still doing all that theatretics such as "head chopping" make up and that whole stuff that makes his shows spectacular for a guy who's now 75!
James's voices killing it!!! 🤘
Has for about 42 years . Keep it in GD shape. And 60that tough as can be
James' 😎
It's amazing. Too bad I hear it better in the video than at the venue. The microphone was too low. Or was the audience screaming too loud ? 😊
Sounds so good! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
Forevar young🎉
I pray that they release the whole show on Blu-ray disc! Absolutely killer!!
Since they film every concert like a BluRay, I am pretty sure, they will. Maybe another cinematic release.
Absolutely
They are releasing a show in concert, at the movie theatres in the summer pretty sure.
They sell the audio of every show right but not the video?
I dunno, I actually have to commend Metallica for putting out their live videos so much. They don't ever need to release a disc with video again if they just keep sharing these videos (which have enhanced HD benefits). I'd say just enjoy their YT videos! They're excellent as they are, freely available whenever you want to, there's no big real reason to package them up and sell them when they're already available here to watch for free!
I still gotta agree with you on the fact this recording is killer though!
I was in the snake pit in front of Lars during this one, and I can tell that the dude is giving EVERYTHING he has during the double bass part. From song one till the end of the show the guy is playing every beats like it’s the last one
Fuck yeah
130 BPM! How does Lars keep a 130bpm tempo at this age? That was pretty much flawless.
Plus 40 years of muscle memory..
not even 130 its like 190 at the start
and they say Lars sucks at drums
King Het’s voice is incredible,Rob’s bass sound is monstrous,Lars’s double kick is awesome,Kirk’s solo is amazing…Metallica kicks ass…🤘
I don't care much for rob's bass and let's not even get into the vocals
@@fredriksvard2603 then why do you have to answer? Keep it to yourself... 🤦🏻♂️
@@fredriksvard2603 shhhht , keep it quiet
King Het? Ew...
Kirk doesn't finish the solo like it's suppose to be played. Lazy Ass
"Blackened" is one of my favorite songs ever, and so damn powerful. A must in every Metallica concert as far as I'm concerned.
not on no repeat set lists sorry :P
This is their best album ever. I will NEVER understand how Jamez can play some of their songs while singing. He's literally the greatest front man to ever live "musically" and "lyrically" in my opinion. Greatest band to ever exist.
Blackened isn’t that hard to play and sing, I think
@@tommy_14blackened is one of their harder songs actually. Playing it that fast is not as easy as it looks. Pair that with singing it while maintaining the rhythm and it becomes ASTOUNDINGLY difficult
@@DMLGhoops no fucking way (sarcasm if you didn’t get it). I said I don’t think it’s one of their harder songs to me because I’ve spent some weeks perfecting it.
Best metal band ever legends
Absolutely love James and Metallica but he's no Mercury, Plant or Jagger I could go on. He's by far the best metal frontman though.
Trujillo's bass sounds so thick! Sounds KILLER!!!
Papa Het at 60 still downpicking and singing is insane, not to mention also Kirk's playing during the solo!
Thought the solo was poor by the original recording standards
@@darrenstorer1526 Well half of it is missing.
@@darrenstorer1526 found the casual
@@darrenstorer1526at least rob sounds alright!
The older James is getting the better his vocals are getting he’s absolutely killing it!!🔥
James at 60 is still a powerhouse of down picking and energy in general. It’s absolutely amazing, I don’t think there’s another band at their age who keeps the energy as if they’re still in their 20’s.
Agree! Nobody cares if he skips a few strokes or does some upstrokes... When using 3 fingers, it's harder to do small hand movements and James likes big chunky hits, while Kirk prefers micro-movements... Either way he's still the master of downpicking!🤘
Rollings?
acdc?
Iron Maiden?
The Lars improvment is insane! He got his game back up top LEVEL!
no just listen to those horrible fills
clearly you arent a drummer
I think so
@@donutguy3854 you aren't either
@@kurtcometa4818 nah dawg I'm a drummer
Been air drumming this song for years and never get bored
What I am seeing here is a band that is in their absolute prime considering their age. NO ONE could complain about this performance.
Lars Fucked up the intro Fills XD
I did..
@@hetfield144Seems to be your thing
This is a stinkfest, all over the place from start to finish
I'm not sure but it actually sounded slightly faster than the album version.
I was there, it was so amazing to experience this song live in 2023, thank you Metallica !
Same, it was so amazing, best experience of my life
Was also there ! Amazing two nights !
Goosebumps
Metallica is just above everything else.
Legends!!!
My heroes
That harmony at 5:09 has never sounded better. I love it
LONG LIVE METALLICA!!! 🤘🏼
❤❤️🔥
Slayer
Bravo Metallica! The only bad thing about this performance is that it's not the full version (I miss that part at the end of the solo)
Ya I'm with ya on that
The Justice material is incredibly challenging I’m sure. Especially 35 years later.
@@donnieanddad2012 Dude give me a break. If they wrote the song.. I'm pretty sure they can handle playing the whole, complete song lol challenging or not. Blackened is not that hard of a song to play drumming wise and less challenging song to play compared to the rest of the songs on that album. It's actually a pretty straightforward song imo.. They also cut out the best part of the song. Kirk's complete solo from that song is awesome.
Yeah I was looking forward to that part of the solo too. Bummer.
@@eldiablo3794 I think you are confusing simple and easy. It is simple, yes, but the timing required to make the transitions seamless is not easy at all.
I'm saying that as a drummer who has auditioned for a Metallica tribute band with three amazing musicians in it. It sounded good but everybody has to be in sync. A lot can go wrong.
40 years through tough times, rehab time... and still rocking like this... age is just a number ! solid band !
imagine writing riffs this brutal all those years ago, imagine being 60 playing them till this day still being as fucking Brutal, best band to walk earth.
Blackened main riff came from Jason 🤘
This is my favorite Metallica song. When you experience it live it is just beyond awesome
It’s mine as well. I have never seen them play it before live. Although I have only seen them once live.
They cut out the best part of the song.. Kirk's complete solo in this song is awesome.
@@eldiablo3794 I own dozens of metal albums from the 80's. Great bands, from several metal areas. Kirk Hammett, in my opinion, was by far, the best of the lead guitar players. One creative motherfucker right there. I also love fast improvisation and chaotic shredding, but Kirk really took the art of thrash metal solos to another level.
I had that with sanitarium in amsterdam
Agreed! I was lucky enough for them to play it during the one Metallica show that I’ve been to!! 🤘
Lars's double bass is pretty much flawless these days ! It's crazy compared to just a few years back.
it completely changed after they started to have professional mixing an editing on their videos. incredible coincidence!
@@victorbicudo1374 shhhhhh we just choose to ignore that coincidence
@@victorbicudo1374 you can see both of his legs and feet moving, shut up lmao
Lars and flawless are two words that don’t go together
@@t7mf You are just an unemployed individual questioning on an experienced individual 😂
They sound tight!
Is it just me or does James' live vocals get better and better with every tour
Very nice and solid performance by Lars!!! 😍😍😍
Definitely!
Serous???
Should we be impressed ?
Wow metallica is going full on classics with blackened. ❤🔥
I do have a soft spot for "Ain't My Bitch." Honestly, I think it works great on a live gig.
They play Blackened pretty frequently.
Dude I gotta give credit where credit is due. Lars has definitely stepped his drumming up and Papa Het's voice is good as ever.
1:22 Lmao it's my buddies and me shouting "OUAIS LAAARRRSS ! LAAAARSS !". The stairs conducting to his drumkits was just in front of us !
Watching Metallica in 2023 on a 4K TV 33 years after hearing Blackened for the first time on a casette tape with a childhood friend. Amazing!
I hate how they cut out the post solo part with the straight drum beat. One of the best parts of the song in my opinion.
Agreed you would think kirk could do it simple hammer ons/ pull offs. The thing he does in 1/3 metallica solos.
yeah that’s my favorite part of the whole song lmao
Yeah that's annoying as hell. Best part of the solo
Too hard for them to play, they even mess it up in the Seattle concert.
One of the best songs and so relevant
You see how much they enjoy it ❤️
They are all on point. Lars was killing it. Glad to see hes been putting in the work to get back to what he was.
You said what i was thinking. I just couldn't find the words. The Mighty Metallica Rules! 🤘
Not even close.
@@sadsadasdsadasdsadas nOt EvEn ClOsE
@@austin21x Yeah, Lars of today is not even close in drumming ability compared to his prime.
@@sadsadasdsadasdsadas no one is asking him to be in his prime. He's 60. He's not 25 playing AJFA anymore obviously. But everyone has been making fun of him since like late 2000's. Because he wasn't doing so hot on the drums. Now he's killing it.
I Don't think any of us will ever get tired of hearing this record. And Justice For All Is a Masterpiece
I hope they live until they are 200
4:36 Lars from 1989 taking over old man’s body as a host. Just killing it!!!
this honestly sounds better than they have in 25 years live. wow
Yeah mainly James voice! When you listen to concerts back in 2019, his voice was at an all time low due to his alcohol addiction... His voice has never been better than in the 72 Seasons period!
just no
4:40 one of the many drum fills in AJfA that's very satisfying when you listen to it, though it may seem simple to nail it
Paris fans are passionate for great rock. I'm glad Europe is having fun!!
This song is the benchmark of how well they’re still doing at their age imo. And after seeing this, I’d say they’re no where close to being done.
Insane man, I was there both nights for my first ever Metallica concert… just epic 🔥 Watching James downpick live is also a blur 😂
Lars has improved a lot his skills for this tour. No absurd fills, better double bass technique.
Yes I was at this show (and two days later) Lars made few mistakes and add somme very good fills !
The skills were there always he was just lazy last couple years
it is a fake bass drum track, pay attention at 02:48, he stop moving his left leg but the bass drums keep making its sound
@@rodrigocamposparada8821Glad to see I'm not the only one to notice that. This is a fucking playback double bass.
@@rodrigocamposparada8821ever heard of triggers?
Wow, this looks like the beginning of the concert .... what an opening!
all justice songs are deadly monstrous live because everything is in place!!
Glad they're releasing vids of them doing their older songs for this concert 🤘🏻
I hope Blackened gets played at the LA dates
These guys are 60 still playin stuff from this record flawlessly. Respect
Bass's sound is awesome
Whoever was making that light show, is a goddamn GOD
I would have to say that this is the best Metallica has played live in years. It's like they care again & have a little fire in them, as they did when they were young. Only difference is back on the AJFA tour, I seen them and the Cult for $30 a ticket. Now it's $250 to $300 for nosebleed, if you're lucky to get a ticket before they sell out 6 months before the show?
Probably the reason they aren't coming to my tiny Portugal, for this tour. And they play here all the time. I assume there's not enough market for such expensive tickets. Plus, for these gigantic concerts, unless you are right up there, close to the stage, it's not really worth it, in my opinion. To see them so far way. It's really psychologic, just to say "I WAS THERE!"
That's called value.
IIWII.
The pandemic hiatus put a little more fire in everyone
Just saw this played live at Download in the UK and it blew my mind how good it sounded. Easily the most epic song of the night. What a show
I must say that this tour is special. Through their smiles, their energies, the interaction with the public even before the beginning of each show... They show us that they take as much pleasure as we do. I can't wait for the next show, you know the one Lars promises at each end 🤘🇫🇷
Their best song. Never gets old. Love it.
Give the sound guy a raise. The uploads for the last few months have sounded amazing… On another level
These guys sound tighter than ever. Also, it's really nice of them to upload such high quality tour videos for free.
probably one of my favourite metallica songs EVER, the guitar drums vocals so powerful!!! the intro is something Norse gods listen to before fighting wars in heaven
So powerful. What a show. That crowd is amped up. This is Metallica on top form. Takes me back to seeing the band tour ‘and justice for all’ at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. That whole set was killer apart from Jason Newsteads bass solo. I remember at the end of the show they played Iron Maidens ‘The Prowler’ and a jokey version of ‘run to the hills’. Some of the guitar work on Blackened has always reminded me a bit of Iron Maiden. There is no other monster like Metallica, there were others but they died off, disappeared up their own arseholes or just became meaningless. Will the torch be passed on to another set of up and coming bands? Or will Metallica be the last of their breed. Whatever happens they will forever be tattooed on my soul. 🤘🏼
You attended one of their three shows at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1988 during their Damage Justice tour? If you can recall, which night did you attend? Was it the one that was filmed on the 11th? 👀🤔
I honestly can’t remember which date I went on. I wasn’t aware that any of their London gigs were recorded. I remember the amazing camaraderie of the crowd outside waiting for the show. So many wearing Metallica t shirts, some holding flags. Talking to strangers about our favourite Metallica songs. The entire experience is one I will never forget. Going home on the tube ears ringing from the huge sonic battery. One of my favourite memories from my teen years. Up until then I’d only seen, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Uriah Heep and Motörhead and the only band that assaulted my ears like Metallica was Motörhead. I think I’d have known if it was the one that was recorded so I probably wasn’t at that gig, sorry.
That double kick part sounded sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I hate that they don't play the whole solo section but what they play here(and fir their age)is incredible 😎👌 love metallica, I don't sometimes think people understand how physically demanding these songs are and that for the most part they are still playing them 👏♥️🔥
King Het and Count Hammett - the indisputable masters of down-picking for 40+ years and at their peak as a band right now. Fucking blessed 🤟
5:09 My favorite part of Blackened 🎸🎸
Uff, Rob's style bass. So great!
I've been very critical of Metallica's performances and their overall sound the last 10 years, but I have to say that has all improved with this tour. Their performance is almost flawless and the sound guys has improved also I believe. Lars plays better now than he did 5 years ago, and he also has a cooler color finish on his drums, lol. Yellow looks way better than his old purple or orange sparkle.
Well Done Lads! Blackened!!!🎶👏🤟
Lars is giving all he's got on that drums, punching like a beast!!! That energy you don't see in drummers anymore...
That's all he can do. Any Good drummer would play the drumms more beastly than just punching it
Stop it ! Lombardo would kill Lars
Look At Gojira ;)
@@kasperrieberg3495 this ain’t a competition tho
@@jantzenallen3077
I know ! My point was just that Lars isn’t a highend drummer
Amazing performance
Absolutely amazing they are so locked in and Lars is kicking some major ass
4:45 great drum roll !
This guys are in their 60s a d their playing at a Top level.
Amazing.
The 4 did and amazing job.
The mixing is top notch.
THE LION ROARS AGAIN
I’m so glad they release videos like this. Metallica is always best live!!! Long may they reign!!
The first album that I have bought from Metallica, was "And Justice for All" and guess what's immediately my favorite track (nr.1 "BLACKEND")! HELL YEAH 🤘🤘🤘
They are getting better and better. Incredible!
Im a Metallica fan since 1985, to keep up this level of intensity and playing at their age is amazing.. They're still doing it no problem...Blackened Blackened....
Wow, they killed it, I'm shocked at how amazing they're sounding considering they're pushing 60, they're performing at a level of men half their age and they're sounding downright incredible. Rob Trujillo's bass adds so much punch to this, fuck me, I hope to see these guys live sometime soon, because what a frigging show.
Amazing to see ‘em blasting the stage and being in such kick ass shape!!🙏🤟
These guys are at a late-career peak and they know it. Good on them!
They sound absolutely incredible and a fantastic performance. Man i really want to go to one of these shows!!!!
Intro never fails to leave me in an out of body experience
This intro is the best that ever existed 😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
James down picking stamina is amazing.. looks like a jackhammer chugging away on the guitar on that intro shot. 🤘🏾🔨🎸🔥
And at 60. Dude’s a beast.
I feel like Trujillo is just every Metallica fan just living his dream getting to rock out with Metallica every day.
They need to start rehearsing on And Justice for All, The Frayed Ends of Sanity (songs they haven't played live since a couple of years now) Dyers Eve, To Live is to Die (Songs they haven't Played live since +10 years), and Eye of the Beholder (They haven't played live in +30 years) and prepare to play live the Justice album.
If they could do this amazing event during their passage at the Power Trip Festival in October, this would be historical!!!
They just nail it live, I can't believe how awesome this performance is. This is a hard song to play. I've probably listened to Blackened more times than any other metal song, and it never grows old.
Killer performance. Only thing it lacks is Jason Newsteads backing vocals. Rob is an amazing bass player. Jason has him beat on backing vocals in my humble opinion.
I just miss the "FIIIIRREEEE", Jason fucking owned that 😂
@@chrisbeedleston8338Long live Jason. 🤘🏻🫡💪🏻
That "FAAAAEEEUUHH..." in Seattle 89 is a monster.
Jason wrote the main riff!
The best band ever
Fantastic, oneof my all time favorites!
You guys sound great! You haven't aged a day.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
what a time to be metallica fans
Forever the GREATEST band of Metal!!!! Long Live Metallica!!!!
James voice is like some sort of Metal ASMR for my anxiety. He converts my anxiety into amped up energy and pure happiness. Forever grateful to Papa Het!
The "shortened" version of why I love Metallica so much?? You said it, "...they make me happy." Bam.
Holy cow! I was NOT expecting the ol' boys to sound this good. THis is absolutely EPIC!
Brings a tear to my eye as I headbang 🥲🤘
Blackened forever 🎸🤘
THIS was THE song for me, the first one I heard and the one that got me in all this metal world! I still remember hearing it for the first time!
This song was me becoming a adult 😊 and at the time the heaviest song 🤘💪🇦🇺
Espetacular!!!
I love the new album, but I want more stuff like this. I wish they will release another thrash album someday
Can't go full thrash at their age. 😅
Love the new album too but the next one I just want heavy and nasty 🤟🏽
Death Magnetic, half of Hardwired and 3 songs from 72 Seasons are definitely thrash.
Lux Aterna is pure thrash.
@@andrew697872 seasons a little bit too
James pick flick/pick grab/down stroke/vocal adlib at 5:07 is 🔥🔥🔥
