@@Danyel76 That's blasphemy. They just aren't playing it like Cliff intended. Much faster on album. This song has heart. Imagine if they put everything they have into it like when it was recorded.
They asked James in an interview why they never play their song Escape live and he said "The song Escape hasn't gelled with my with my vocal range in a long long time"
Easily the most underrated song on Ride the lightning, it has a late 70s Black Sabbath vibe imo and I’m a huge fan of both of them so this song is fantastic
Seen Metallica like 6 times. I think the biggest 'historic' fact I was at one of their shows to witness was the first ever live playing of U3, in Lincoln. More enjoyed watching them play all their Garage Days Misfits stuff with Danzig and Suicidal Tendencies on stage with them in Chicago though, way back when.
From a recent Revolver interview with Lars: "I love “Escape”! James is just being James. We always jam on that mostly to piss him off. And he’ll start playing along in a different key or something. James told me that he actually heard the live version of Escape from Orion on the radio, and he said it sounded pretty good. So maybe there’s hope for Escape. Maybe it will make an appearance again in the next decade or so" Good to hear James is starting to like the song, hopefully hear it live again
They hated it because while making RTL they were asked to come up with a "radio friendly" song for the album and Escape was what they came up with. They didn't want to play that slower and catchier style of radio rock on what is otherwise an album full of thrash metal. It's not that it's a bad song, what they came up with when they were asked to at the last minute was pretty good, but it just doesn't fit with the rest of the album. It wouldn't even fit on the Black Album IMO, even though it's a far more radio friendly album than RTL.
He was definitely being a good sport about it at least. And for having never played it live and having written it like 30 years ago or something I'd say they fuckin killed it! 👏👏👏
Interesting fact, this is the first and possibly only time they played escape live. Meaning that if you think it sounds bad, well no shit. The last time they played it was when the album was released.
Samuel Chassot im sure he probably practiced it in his spare time over the years, its one of those songs that the fans really loved despite the fact the band hated it. like frayed ends of sanity.
No, the reason he doesn't like it is because they were forced to write a "radio friendly" song, which was what they didn't wanna do, they wanted to go against the mainstream.
Aa A now I understand I was always trying figure that out is that why dave mustiane hated the album super collider like he realized that that he screwed making an album like that cause that album was awful anyway haha
The record label they were with forced them to do it. Which is why many believe this is a song about breaking away from "The Man" or their record label at the time. Oh well. Still a great song haha.
+Thebiggestbeast111 I find it important to emphasize that it was Rushed and Forced by the record label. Why do I find that distinction important? 'Cause Hardwired was "Thrown together" due to the band thinking that the other songs on the new album didn't feel like good opening tracks.
pahaahv the reason they don't like it is because the label they were on at the time it was written forced them to write a song that was "radio friendly" in an age when Metallica didn't give a fuck about album sales and getting air time on mainstream radio... can see where you're coming from though bud it's one of the stand out tracks on ride the lightning for me
The song is alright. Has a good instrumental and the chorus is relatively catchy. But because this wasn't a song that they wanted to write and the record label made them do it they see it as some early form o sellout
I was there with my best friend of 40 years Ruthie and we had such a great time at Orion NJ 2012. She taught in Philly for 27 years and had a former student see her at Orion; first time she ever saw a student at a concert 😂. She passed away in October 2022 and I miss her but I get to relive concerts we went to and smile. Thanks for sharing. Take care 🙂
The outro riff of this song is pure perfection. Where james sings " life is for my own to live my own way" wish they incorporated more of that throughout the song.
This is the first Metallica song I ever heard when I was 5 years old and I've been a die hard fan ever since, I was so happy to hear it played live finally.
Escape is not only one of the greatest Metallica songs ever, but it's part of one of their greatest albums, and specially a very special song for me, Ride the Lightning album really helped A LOT through the hardest part of my life, and the lyrics on Escape, the beautiful yet aggressive melody, means very much for me, James should be proud for writing that, i don't get why hates it so much lmao.
I liked it. It is writ5in major and not minor like most of their songs. It is unique and quite catchy. I always liked it. After seeing this live video I like the album version better
I like this song. I guess it probably because its in the key of A (I think) which isn’t particularly heavy so it sounds quite light and a fluffy by their standards.
Are there any other songs we haven't played 1.frayed ends of sanity( though playing it at Helsinki tomorrow:) 2. House jack built 3. Cure 4.ronnie 5.thorn within 6.attitude 7.bad seed 8. Better than you 9.fixxxer 10.invisible kid 11.my world 12.prince charming 13. Purify 14.shoot me again 15. Slither 16. Where the wild things are
BlackSketchyThing the chorus is “gay”? You must have the depth of appreciation for music of a jar of snot. Anything that isn’t edgy tough guy music sucks, right?
I'd have this in my top 10 favorite Metallica songs. It's strange when a band hates one of their great songs but it happens a lot. Glad they finally played it, and played it well!
I mean when they put this song out kids actually moshed to Metallica. so I can understand why they didn't play it in the clubs. But yeah after ride the lightning they got way to radio friendly.
***** idk for me I'm into faster and in my opinion heavier stuff, after ride the lightning for me I felt like Metallica lost there edge they had. There was anger, pure anger at that in the first two albums. Once the third came out they had everything. Dave Mustaine's writing was missing to, and I definitely think that is what killed for me.
On a field trip to Washington DC during the eighth grade, us kids were all passing around cassette tapes on the bus and throwing them in our walkmans. Woke up at some point during the the night with the end of this song echoing through the foam earpieces. First song i ever heard by them. Changed everthing.
I don't know, Escape was one of my favorite Metallica songs ever, since the moment I started to listen to them about 30 years ago (man time flies fast!) 1) Escape 2) Fade to black 3) Sanitarium - three greatest Metallica songs IMHO. To not play Escape live is very, very stupid decision.
like a bunch of other comments above, it was forced upon them by their label company to make more radio friendly music and they hated that clearly by the video.
I have so many great memories playing this album and this song while playing my NES and playing games like MegaMan and Metroid and Zelda as well as Lifeforce all those cool old games played to music was a great feeling. I miss those days.
My anthem.........and I wasn't even in my teens yet when the needle dropped on this fantastic album. These lyrics have many, many times entered my mind when I felt I was being pushed to my limit by the "norms" of society.
Metallica has always had a distinct sound like AC/DC you just know who the band is the moment you here the track its the sound. I don't know how they even remember all these different patterns, drops, timing, and rhythm changes for all these songs. It s a lot to remember for a band. Even if the setlist is rehearsed they have a ton of songs in the collection book after 40 years as a band.
Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy I know I'm my best friend No one cares, but I'm so much stronger I'll fight until the end To escape from the true false world Undamaged destiny Can't get caught in the endless circle Ring of stupidity Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life is for my own to live my own way Rape my mind and destroy my feelings Don't tell me what to do I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side And I can see through you Feed my brain with your so called standards Who says that I ain't right Break away from your common fashion See through your blurry sight Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life is for my own to live my own way See they try to bring the hammer down No damn chains can hold me to the ground Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way Life is for my own to live my own way
Really beautiful song. Definitely my 2nd favorite after Fade to Black. Very unique for their early catalog. I wonder how they wrote it considering how different it is from their other songs from the time.
I once tried making a playlist for the Ride The Lightning album that had "Escape" excluded, and the transition between "Trapped Under Ice" and "Creeping Death" actually sounded awesome, and completely natural; I could definitely see that album being structured that way.
James,"I'm trying to enjoy it. "
Lars,"No way I'm gonna fuck this up."
Kirk,"Can we end this now?"
Robert,"I'm not that against this song actually."
kirk : "Fuck this song, i fuckin bored"
And then: "Needs more wah" XD
Julio Criollo WAH WAH WAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Jason: pump my bass volume up, I can't hear me!
Cliff, from heaven: Why have I recorded this shitty pop metal tune?
@@Danyel76 That's blasphemy. They just aren't playing it like Cliff intended. Much faster on album. This song has heart. Imagine if they put everything they have into it like when it was recorded.
This song stands out on Ride the lightning because its more positive sounding the Chorus is in a major KEY which makes it sound happy.
That´s true, but the song Ride the ligtning has also major key chorus, as well as Trapped under ice.
TheFutureKing It would fit on Hardwired
its not a better song than metal militia tho ;)

They clearly don't hate it here and enjoyed playing it. Like he said, he just hopes it's good.

if that's the case, then it should have been a single
And an encouraging message. I'm not sure their beef with this song meanwhile Lars is out here defending Lulu
Being a teenager at that time, the lyrics were how I felt at the time. Loved that song.
I like how James is like “This song SUCKS” but still seems to enjoy playing it.
He was definitely being a good sport about it at least. And for having never played it live and having written it like 30 years ago or something I'd say they fuckin killed it! 👏👏👏
Discipline Daddy
Exactly.
He is a frontman
He’s just a professional. He’s not going to be unenthusiastic on stage.
Well ironically he's bitching about doing his job.
They hate it, I love it... it’s one of my favorite metallica songs and the lyrics are so good
Agreed, they have nothing to be embarrassed by with it.
i used to hate this song because of the main guitar riff but when i started listening to the lyrics it made me fucking love this song. so good .

I did not think James would be able to go that high with his vocals, but he sounded amazing!
Amazing performance. Despite "not liking it," James was getting into it with the head banging, lol.
No, the reason he doesn't like it is because they were forced to write a "radio friendly" song, which was what they didn't wanna do, they wanted to go against the mainstream.
+Aa A
You'd think in that case that they would hate Jump in the Fire. Btw, did Master of Puppets have any radio friendly songs?
Hammer of Justice Crushes You OVERPOWER Thing That Should Not Be could be considered radio friendly, unsure about Welcome Home
Aa A now I understand I was always trying figure that out is that why dave mustiane hated the album super collider like he realized that that he screwed making an album like that cause that album was awful anyway haha
He started headbanging cause it was almost over
Why don't they like Escape? I think it's very catchy, and still showcases their talent.
The record label they were with forced them to do it. Which is why many believe this is a song about breaking away from "The Man" or their record label at the time. Oh well. Still a great song haha.
***** They used to hate playing fade to black. I guess over time they got used to playing it live.
I bet James hates it because his voice can't handle it anymore. I still like it but to me he looks like he's struggling vocally with it.
Because it was a rushed song for the album and was just thrown together.
+Thebiggestbeast111 I find it important to emphasize that it was Rushed and Forced by the record label.
Why do I find that distinction important? 'Cause Hardwired was "Thrown together" due to the band thinking that the other songs on the new album didn't feel like good opening tracks.
I love how they hate Escape and love St. Anger and we hate St. Anger and love Escape.

Well, I guess I should've read the comments first :D Still, I hold my opinion. I kinda like it and it doesn't sound too commercial to me.
These comments are all cancer. Stick to your opinion man. Don't let these fools take 'em away.

BlackSketchyThing the chorus is “gay”? You must have the depth of appreciation for music of a jar of snot. Anything that isn’t edgy tough guy music sucks, right?
Maybe because it sounds too glam/pop metal at a time where they are totally rejecting that sound
When they were making ride the lightning, the record company they were with forced them to write it because they wanted a more radio friendly skmg.
Love Escape and James'voice sounds awesome here. A softer tone we don't get to hear often.
this needs to be played live at every show
This is actually one of my favorite Metallica songs.
I'd have this in my top 10 favorite Metallica songs. It's strange when a band hates one of their great songs but it happens a lot. Glad they finally played it, and played it well!
Probably my favorite Metallica song
The second riff in the solo is SO HARD bruh

I'm pretty sure Metallica forgot about the Black Album when they said that...

I love escape so much it’s one of my favorite songs 😭😭
Kirk looks bored as fuck playing this haha.
Yeah for real lmao
Thats the reason James dislikes this song, its too long the same. It is repetitive to play
too long? shortest song on the album. it's like u think you have logic in what u say
Tyler Giampaolo - Trapped Under Ice is shorter. Fight Fire With Fire is nearly the same length.
Ik a lot of people like this song, but it just feels so blah for me. I think the band feels the same way.
I don’t get why James hates it I absolutely love this song!!! It’s my favorite
Same
His struggle in singing it is perhaps a factor.
He didn’t want it on the album.
They were forced to make it in the first place.

Cliff has created some amazing bass lines for this song, I love it and every time I hear it I get a little tear.
Why it sounds so good now is because it has a quintessentially 80s vibe. Long live the 80s!
Escape is actually a good song. They should play it more. It stands out, adds variety to the set list. Fans would love it.
I've always loved this song.
I actually love this song.
Escape is underrated in my opinion
I actually really like Escape it's one of my favorite songs by them
I loved this song when I was young. The lyrics are perfect when you're 15 and trying to figure shit out
If they only they played it in 1984 during the Lightning tour with Cliff it be so awesome if that happened
XxStarFoxWolfFalcoxX yea , only if they played it back then their career’s could’ve been so much better
If they'd play it back then Cliff would not die. Yeah, I'm supersticiuous.
Seems like James is the guy who enjoy songs that he don't like playing :D
Edit this James' going deeper and deeper with voice on 4:25 is stunning!
Underrated song!! Always Loved that particular tune!! Ride and Master are awesome!! 🤟
This song reminds me of Iron Maiden.
See, I thought of Thin Lizzy.
I think its to slow to be maiden, maybe van halen
This actually does sound like an early Van Halen song especially with the down tuning
Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy and maybe even a bit of Kiss.
Please dont say that
Metallica has always had a distinct sound like AC/DC you just know who the band is the moment you here the track its the sound. I don't know how they even remember all these different patterns, drops, timing, and rhythm changes for all these songs. It s a lot to remember for a band. Even if the setlist is rehearsed they have a ton of songs in the collection book after 40 years as a band.
this is my favorite Metallica song.
Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way
Life is for my own to live my own way
Life is for my own to live my own way
Life is for my own to live my own way

I hope that they don’t play me.

I love the entire album. This song is just as awesome as the rest.
To "Escape" from the speech go to 1:55
Its actually one of my fav songs
Really beautiful song. Definitely my 2nd favorite after Fade to Black. Very unique for their early catalog. I wonder how they wrote it considering how different it is from their other songs from the time.
The record told them one more song and James wrote it in 5 minutes.

I always liked Escape. Still do. And I quite enjoyed this live version. It's too bad it took so long for them to play it.
God, how’d I’d love to attend a Metallica show that was ALL ‘80s deep cuts..
So, what we talking, No Remorse, Phantom Lord, Trapped Under Ice, Escape, TTTSNB, Leper Messiah, Eye Of The Beholder, Frayed Ends, To Live Is To Die?
4:00 Kirk is checking some chicks
Guy looked bored as hell the first time it showed him, what would you be doing if you were him in that scenario?XD
Lol
He looks dead inside lol
I once tried making a playlist for the Ride The Lightning album that had "Escape" excluded, and the transition between "Trapped Under Ice" and "Creeping Death" actually sounded awesome, and completely natural;
I could definitely see that album being structured that way.
This is the most underrated Metallica song ever in my honest opinion.
You guys released "St. Anger" and you didn't want this song to be played live...?
Because they were forced to make this song by the record company
I don't mind St Anger...
Renier Suyot it's was also made in a day or two at most, and the band felt very rushed. But I like this song.
st anger had good riffs
Jeff Sonich St. Anger is a good album when you see where the band was coming from when they made it
One of my favorite songs of Metallica!
Love this song 🔥
This song brings back my childhood memories. Thanks Metallica.
Having bi polar disorder this song got me through a lot it has a lot of positive in it work hard become independent stay away from toxic people
This song is so addicting...
Easily among their top five underrated songs.
Metallica changed my life in the late 80’s. Master of Puppets and And Justice For All inspired me to learn guitar and drums.
"See them try to bring the hammer down..no damn chains can hold me to the ground"..🤘♥️ this song.
Always loved this song. Surprised to learn only recently how they had never performed it live until this concert.
Need an Air Raid siren at the end.
Very melodic and underrated song! I liked it in the studio album and I still like it! I don't understand why the don't play it live often...
I've always loved this song, wish the band liked it more.
This was always my favorite Metallica song!
I love the song... And the harmony with the bass... Great composition!
