Metallica Live Cleaveland 1983 Call Of Ktulu

Another one of many firsts for this beautiful piece of music ive decided to give cliff most of the pics in this video since it is basicly his song more or less :) and i love the different solo they have

[@electgabry95]

When Hell Freezes Over

[@static_tv_og]

Og song name right

[@elisvideobazaar5299]

fun fact: james wasn't old enough to drink yet

[@pteradactylhippo]

This has to be the earliest recording of the song I’ve heard because the bass part isn’t in its final form here.
This is pure audio gold! Thank you for posting this!

[@mclovinpo]

Earliest recording was the furst time they played it at las cruces New Mexico yku can check it out on UA-cam it’s titled when hell freezes over

[@andreasbianconeri879]

Cliff was a beast.. nothing compares👍

[@vesselinkrastev]

I was under the impression they never played any of the instrumentals until the 2000s with Rob. I was surprised to find out they played Ktulu a bunch of times in the mid 80s. Cool!

[@Izak80]

Sounds a bit like Hangar 18. Did Dave Mustaine actually write parts that Metallica later used in Call of Cthulhu?

[@wwolf8251]

yeap, call of ktulu and hangar 18 has same chord progression at intro

[@pardin3217]

Actually, Mustaine composed the intro from Call of Ktulu and later used in Hangar 18

[@strayorion2031]

This song just makes me imagine what would had happened if cliff and mustained had more songs in which they both wrote

[@VideoMask93]

The bass surprised me...

[@wawanandrelizer6767]

Metallica have a good bassist... Keep alive Cliff....

[@11METFAN11]

@Izak80 Yes. The part used in the clean intro is the same scale and progression used in the intro of hangar 18, i think both work pretty superbly.

[@zytigon]

Awesome track by Metallica ! In his book ' The Call of Cthulhu ' H.P. Lovecraft mentions the book, ' The Golden Bough' which is a wide ranging study of mythology & magic in religion by Scottish anthropologist Sir James G. Frazer published 1890. It offered a modernist approach to discussing religion, treating it dispassionately as a cultural phenomenon rather than from a theological perspective.

[@kidnamedalaska]

H.P. love craft had a cool cat

[@11METFAN11]

Wow really? thats cool. I love Daves songwriting But i still prefer he were in megadeth because now we have 2 fucking amazing bands with fucking amazing songs

[@RicoZaid_]

yeah, but Dave didn't write any of that bass... and this song is at least 50% bass.

[@merciless2032]

Someone should remaster this... :D

[@Kylan0728]

@11METFAN11 To live is to die is all Cliff Burton and Hetfield riffs actually.

[@chassy50]

I know this 9 years old but I need to reply
The song is mostly made by james and lars cliff only co wrote the intro with james

[@jerrumite4425]

@@chassy50 cliff wrote the main melody after both solos.

Enough of this who wrote what or needed to be done. The bands are touring together and have grown up since then.

👌 MASTERPIECE

[@toxicgaming244]

This was a early one as middle section of kirk is older one😊❤️

[@felipev8927]

a qualidade de gravação podia até não ser muito boa, porém a MUSICA ERA !!! hoje com TANTA tecnologia, não conseguimos ter a mesma criatividade que esses caras tinham e isso não fica restrito só a este estilo musical "Trash Metal" mais a todos os outros também, eu gosto da Orion mais Call of Ktulu supera !!!

[@11METFAN11]

Yes indeed \m/

[@evertonmarques9195]

I love ktulu...

[@midnight347]

@jian2069 thank you! two ppl commenting the way REAL metal fans should...megadeth and metallica are two of the greatest bands of all time let alone heavy thrash metal...i recently bought the big 4 on dvd has anthrax, megadeth, slayer and metallica all playin with 45 minutes worth of backstage shit. it'll be in the metallica section at your local cd store (even tho it's a double dvd) I highly recommend it if you like both bands I assume you like antrax and slayer but if not megadeth & metallica

[@rageagainstthedyingoftheli4488]

ahhhhhhhhhh.

[@Izak80]

11METFAN11 Yeah, its quite obvious when you listen to the songs back to back.

[@midnight347]

@11METFAN11 I'm so glad I found some ppl on youtube with my ideas about megadeth and metallica. they both rock..they both sold out for a period of time (even tho megadeth fans won't admit that, risk was a horrible album, united abominations, etc...) but the point is they rocked before and after they both breifly sold out so if you don't love both bands you're not a real metal fan, that's my oppinion...and black sabbath, motorhead, diamond head, misfits, all who influenced them are great also!!!

[@eroticblack]

yeah dave did work with metallica in the early 80's!

[@LPstefan]

@11METFAN11 is this a version when Dave was still in the band?

[@master-stratocaster4737]

rather not

[@MNB730]

im still confused
how do they play ride the lightning stuff in 1983 when it hasn't been released yet, anyone bother to explain?

[@brackishbaton89]

It might be a typo

[@thatoneguy2494]

Just because it came out later, doesn’t mean they haven’t written it

[@jayme_taylor]

it's not a typo at all. Many indie bands loved to perform their new songs before their actual recording. FFwF, Creeping Death, When Hell Freezes Over(aka Call of Ktulu) were already out in 1983 and those were candidates for the next studio album. That's all.

[@serigraph73]

Is it that hard to grasp that they actually wrote and played stuff before it was put down on an album???

[@dylanridge-storer2471]

Fight Fire With Fire, Ride the Lightning, Creeping Death, and When Hell Freezes Over (working title for Call of Ktulu) were all written in 1983. They premiered on Halloween '83 at The Keystone in Palo Alto, and up until the release of Ride the Lightning they played those four songs in their tours until the next album came out.

[@jasonthrasher4584]

Cliff will always be the most amazing bass player of all time. Sorry Jocko!

[@DamageIncorperated86]

Metallica's song...

[@123savesome4me]

not 1983 ride the lightining wasnt made yet

[@toddgledhill9866]

bryce steven they had most of the songs done by this time they just didn’t release the album until 84. They did Disposable Heroes in ‘85 despite Puppets not being released until 86.

[@benmidgley1419]

And 2x4 and other songs from load and reload was played in 1995

[@jm0069]

@zytigon and what is the world at now, i recommend you watch joe rogan occupy wall street opinion. The idea of government modernised and based on internet connectivity. Why are juries considered as peers in a court trial that lack cognitive ability..ancient shit.

[@srncet]

The song was written by dave mustaine.... mainly ...

[@davidsimic5870]

The clean intro part only

[@kwstaskwstopoulos6737]

Nobody cares just enjoy it

[@kowxley1793]

Dave wrote the first minute, that's it, so that's not mainly at all

[@Fackunator]

@@kowxley1793 it's pretty mainly considering most of the song is based around that riff
