Yeah idk what he’s talking about. Saw them on the second night in East Rutherford NJ back in August and they opened with Whiplash and he swore in the lyrics lol
Not really. They were at the EUROPEAN awards... you know what that means? No one gave a shit they were cursing because Europeans are not infants like Americans worried about curse words.
The one night James says fuck it ill blow my voice out to get a point across lol. Probably one of the most badass performances of 2 songs in the load era ever.
Telling metallica they can't get pyro on the stage, and telling James not to swear is a really bad idea at that time, then you end up getting the most ugly swearing song they can find, and playing them live for you in your face to say fuck you MTV no one tells what metallica to do...
It's not "telling MetallicA they can't get pyro on stage"... It wasn't THEIR show to begin with. It was just the production that made that stage-show, then they suddenly pulled it.
@@Loto76 bro what are you crying about. You really think at 60yrs old they would still want to play small shows? They’ve made a smart financial move and already stamped their names by the time ajfa came out and the black album solidified their careers. Your small minded
@@Loto76He'd be first to flip you off. Watch his RTL interviews.

Bryan, 1. Last Caress and So What were both recorded before they were released on Garage Inc. 2. This is in 96, so Garage Inc. hasn't even been reasled yet 3. My point was that people bash Metallica for releasing Load and say that they became weak after that...
Metallica became weak in 1990 when Hetfield didn't want to complitely loose his voice and started writing shitty pop rock and that fucking mainstream Black Album.
90's Metallica was the worst, aside from 2003 Metallica. Yeah, they did what they wanted, which was why they were shit. Metallica are 10000x better now than they were 20 years ago!
They said after rehearsal of King Nothing they were told there would be no cursing and the producers were pulling the pyros...so Metallica got together with their sound engineer and let him know they were going to switch to Last Caress and So What.
I remember this, I still have it on VHS somewhere. This was the very first European MTV awards, and MTV repeated it constantly for about 2 weeks afterwards. The Metallica segment was cut from every single broadcast except the live one, haha.
Not really. They decided to play Last Caress and So What somewhat spontaneously, because the whole show sucked and they wanted to wake up the sleepy crowd iIrc
Well fortunately he never needs to worry about being homeless, just like anyone else who happened to merely be in the studio for any reason during the production of the black album.
@@MetaITurtle In the documentary made during the recording of the Black Album Metallica goes to strip club in the city I live in. I went there and got kicked out for filming my friend jumping on the stripper stage and taking her shirt off. The club is owned by the hells angels. I feel like they owe me a fucking dollar
the tv footage was actually cut, but this wasn't, my dad said he watched it with his buddies and it cut to commercial about 40-50 seconds into "So What?"
Nordi Mejia They were #1 on 100+ countires beating even Bruno Mars and Beyonce. If selling more was their concern, they would not publish their songs free on youtube. Please think before comment and stop following the hate train.
Jejeje... Think what ever you want. You are not the one to judge what goes or what doesnt go on the comment section. I love metallica, but that was a stupid PR move. Since I cant rant obout right now, you should listen to eddie trunks thoughts on the matter, Mr. Comment section wiser
Would love to see these songs being played now at the MTV music awards in front of this generation of delicate flowers, image Taylor Swift and the Kardashians faces.
I don't know about that. It's certainly up there on the list, but it's kinda hard to beat Fiona Apple telling the entire music industry to basically get fucked, or the classic PJ & Neil.
They're even getting comedy sketches from 90s and 00s erased for offensive content these days. Culture is way more sensitive and uptight today than it was even just 10 years ago.
4:59 damn, you can tell this was Kirk’s coke phase. Never seen him that aggressive in an interview. Not that it’s unjustified or anything, he’s absolutely right about the “elite” who attend these things...
when people think about Hetfield's downpicking think about Master of Puppets. Try rhis version of So What. The guitar is so percussive that it's Ulrich following Hetfield (Ulrich still in a shaped way in '96) and not the contrary.
I remember the special you had a night before like yesterday. I didn't even know Metallica would play, but I was glad Pop was dominating with Boy Bands, and Spice Girl was taking more place. How horrible the late 90s.
Everyone always praises Nirvana for playing a few seconds of Rape Me on the MTV awards, against the networks wishes. When in reality, this was a far bigger FUCK YOU to censorship. Metallica didnt back down!
Makes you wonder if the only reason they didn’t kill the show is because Europe had, and still has for certain words, slightly different rules with language on tv vs the USofA…
Maybe this is the best live performance of King Nothing.
so good I thought it was last caress
@@gkdunch they were suposed to play king nothing an they werent alowed to swear so they played the most vulgar songs. :)
gabi hakler and couldn’t have pyro
Agreed
@@gabihakler868 They made the best choice. After that event, the motherfuckers from MTV cut their performance for future reruns.
Moral of the story: NEVER tell Metallica not to swear on stage
It's not like they like Load consisted of explicit words. MTV idiots at their finest there.
And let them use pyro
They don’t even swear on stage anymore.
@@MetallicaFanSandmanyou sure about that
Yeah idk what he’s talking about. Saw them on the second night in East Rutherford NJ back in August and they opened with Whiplash and he swore in the lyrics lol
Biggest "Fuck you MTV" in the history. They were supposed to play King Nothing :D
SwirkH thats what happens when you pick jetro dull :P
Not really. They were at the EUROPEAN awards... you know what that means? No one gave a shit they were cursing because Europeans are not infants like Americans worried about curse words.
yeah I saw it live... I didn't even notice :) and I seriously didn't give a damn they played them.
Yeah, I agree. But still, it was MTV and I read that this episode never
aired since the live broadcast (don't know if it's true though).
No just the Metallica performance was removed from the repeats.
The one night James says fuck it ill blow my voice out to get a point across lol. Probably one of the most badass performances of 2 songs in the load era ever.
This is the most punk rock thing ever one live television. Crazy that Metallica brought it like this, so much respect for James.

"Metallica went soft with Load"
Haha yeah right...
Kevin McDonald last caress and so what are from garage inc. not load
+Bryan Perez he meant load era.

yes because they're metallica songs right
funniest part is that it looks like the lights are still programmed to King Nothing. adds to the craziness of this performance.
I missed the 90's METALLICA cuz they do what they want and everything they touched... turned to gold!!! Love Load and Reload!!!
Still do what they want... But what they do is lame now... XD
90's Metallica was the worst, aside from 2003 Metallica. Yeah, they did what they wanted, which was why they were shit. Metallica are 10000x better now than they were 20 years ago!
no-ish i would say... load and reload have their upsides, by the way there was something called the black album. wouldn't call that too bad
No trolls in the 90s man . I guess it helped ...
Jay Mann no... Nahhh.. Load and ReLoad is better than death magntic
Remember, Mr. Hetfield, no coarse language, please. This is a live broadcast.
James: Hold my beer. Actually, let me finish that beer.
"Remember, keep it clean, OK?"
"Well I got something to say..."
Listen to that base line. The character, the mood, the beat and the drive and flow of the "who cares" come from Jason's bass. I do really miss him
8:40 This shit is funny cause they really tech rehearsed King Nothing complete with flames, yet they went the other way lol. Badass.
They said after rehearsal of King Nothing they were told there would be no cursing and the producers were pulling the pyros...so Metallica got together with their sound engineer and let him know they were going to switch to Last Caress and So What.
Kirk plays here so clean .
milo jakulovic probably because he played with explosive passion
0:06 - “Last Caress” (Misfits cover)
1:26 - “So What” (Anti-Nowhere League cover)
Two the best LOAD album songs !🙃
I remember this, I still have it on VHS somewhere. This was the very first European MTV awards, and MTV repeated it constantly for about 2 weeks afterwards. The Metallica segment was cut from every single broadcast except the live one, haha.
Jason could definitely make it big in acting.
MTV: " No profanity"
James Hetfield: "No PrOfAniTY"
Also James: “I GOT SOMETHIN TA SAYYY”

5:21 biggest lie in the history of rock and roll
Not really. They decided to play Last Caress and So What somewhat spontaneously, because the whole show sucked and they wanted to wake up the sleepy crowd iIrc
Hoopy Frood Jay Wrong
@@WeirdSchizo I thought they decided to play those songs cause they were given instructions to not swear during the set and that pissed them off.
Hoopy Frood Jay No they played last caress and so what because MTV forced them not to curse on stage and they get pissed off
Dale that and they were told what song to play and they couldn’t use pyro
I love watching the cuts of Jason half-dressed running to the stadium with his bass guitar strapped over his back
4:35...makes me laugh every time
SJIT!
EET FUK same lol
0:47 Jaymz cared so much about this that he even forgot to sing.
Jason is such a great guy. I'd take care of Jason every day if he'd become homeless.
Well fortunately he never needs to worry about being homeless, just like anyone else who happened to merely be in the studio for any reason during the production of the black album.

Oh god i wish
What would they do post it on Twitter at least Rock and Metal fans are loyal
I'd rather not
That would be the best MTV show ever to exist
Ha, ha, ha, yesssssssse
After this performance....
Metallica banned from Mtv... 😂😂😂 \m/
Still MTV called them back several times though LOL
They did mtv icon after this performance
Metallica are too cool for MTV anyway.
And then ran themselves into the ground
so fucking what
Absolutely THE GREATEST MOMENT in MTV HISTORY!!! PERIOD!!!
I don't know about that. It's certainly up there on the list, but it's kinda hard to beat Fiona Apple telling the entire music industry to basically get fucked, or the classic PJ & Neil.
And now 21 years later, it would have been more acceptable.
That’s probably why metallica doesn’t play so what anymore but they played last caress when I saw them in Madison
lol no
They're even getting comedy sketches from 90s and 00s erased for offensive content these days. Culture is way more sensitive and uptight today than it was even just 10 years ago.
Its not as bad as modern rap, at least you can here the swears
Imagine if they had played Negative Xp Scott Pilgrim vs the world ruined a generation of women
wow when kirk played the solo without the wah
6:36 'SIMPLY dREDful'
7:04 "this the smooth part... hahha Spice Girl dancing King Nothing" fucking great joke :D
how did i only find out in 2024 that metallica did this to mtv. sensational!
MTV: you'll be banned from MTV.
METALLICA: Ok. So what? 🖕🖕🖕
The greatest FU in rock n roll history.
I like how they showed footage of them rehearsing King Nothing
One of the funniest performances ever. I especially love the way it's described in Into The Black
Mtv: You can't curse on tv

Metallica are the perfect mix between Punk and Metal. Both powerful on their own , but combined? Forget about it
Perfect mix between Punk & Metal is basically Thrash
It’s almost like James lost his voice in 93 and got parts of it back in 96 and lost it again after
He can still do the 89 voice even today, but he only on special occasions, this is one of those times
GORGEOUS
Highlight of the show.
Biggest reveange on MTV ffr

Tbh I really liked punk rock Metallica🤘🏼🔥
And people have the nerve to call them sell outs
