Metallica: Blackened (Detroit, MI - December 31, 1999) 

HoLeeSheet I was there. A great show with Kid Rock, Ted Nugent & others.

I was there too. I wish they would release a video of the whole show. The vibe was intense.

I was there...🤘

I did!! I was there, on the floor!! It was fucken awesome

Finishing the Millennium!

Pauluzz99 they played the bridge at San Diego 92 but sadly not the full thing

Strange as it’s their best song.... by far

Owen Iles i say one is overall their best song but blackened is probably my favorite song by them after listening to it so much

Besides "one" the justice album wasn't really touched at all live from 1996-1999 with the shortest straw popping up a few times

@@DisposableJustice and Harvester of Sorrow

not for me

Agreed. I love Rob and he's definitely the better bassist but man, Jason's backup vocals and energy were amazing.

@@a.t.3192 better in what? just because plays with fingers? He's lazy af, new metal style and poses, unwatchable, not aggressive at all..

@@expl44 Dude who fucken cares about "muh aggression". Rob is a nice dude with fun energy and is technically superior as a bassist. That doesn't mean I dislike Jason. I like them both. God, I bet you're one of those guys that complains about non-metalheads wearing metal merch.

@@a.t.3192 can you explain where's his technical superiority? he can't play second neck notes without pull up bass.. because he doesn't want to play in normal position and his left hand is not trained at all to go till end neck.. just an example. He struggle a lot in fast song. He's worst choice they could make. And he doesn't fit in after so many years, 18 years wtf.

Funny seeing you here :) I love your channel man \m/

+Andriy Vasylenko, Wow, never thought I'd see you here, I love all your video's, keep em coming, your a true rep for your country (way too many bad stereotypes around).

Hi frrrrrriend

Hey frrrrrrrrrrriend

HellO my frienddzzz

Jason Fucking Newsted ❤

Pe ter the bassist wrote their best riff with Battery being a close second .

@@531ff Jason did'nt wrote battery.

Pe ter I was saying Battery is a close second to being their best riff . I know Jason didn’t write Battery .

@@531ff Ah ok i understand. 👍🏼

Best harmony and intro too

I agree w/ blackened being one of the best but I would say Master of Puppets along with Wherever I may Roam before it easily.

Vortiac which riff are you talking about ? I honestly don’t hear spit out the bone any of the riffs in battery but I’m really curious now lol

@@jayemm2323 you can kiiind of hear it but its very vague

Josh1301 I honestly don’t hear it. Would you care to elaborate?

4:52 Kirk's like. oh wait....

That look on James's face right after Kirk's solo... Like "holy shit dude" lol. But I too would like to see this entire show again, I,was there in person at this one, good memories

No, they dont do short versions live, it was Lars that stopped too early, he just messed up, maybe its was a monitor issue couldn't here clearly, or he just lost concentration day dreaming.

They haven't played Blackened in full since the 90s. They shorten the solo and eliminate the main riff before that last verse.

"the rest of the just..." 😅

It's pretty amusing how similar the whole solo section sounded to TWJYL's in this and all of the 2000 takes. Wonder if this is where Kirk got his inspiration for the solo from?

Woah....I thought I was the only one who noticed.

Holy shit you're right!!

Jaakko Salmela how could he when he can’t keep track of his damn phone

yeah straight to comments to see if anyone noticed I ve heard hundreds of versions of this live never heard that before.. or noticed

Nicktendious I hope they release this show - it had them playing Detroit Rock City, for God’s sake

Actually it's not in Detroit. It's actually in Pontiac, which is about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.

@@renegadejuggalo ok...so a Detroit suburb...

Big Nick Literally the same thing

I was there! Kid Rock messed Detroit Rock City up. Good show though Pontiac is not Detroit.

Ikr

When lars was a fucking beast

@@meandmebutonlyme6739 lars was not a fucking beast, he decide to cut the nice trick tempo part after solo because he was never able to handle it on a live situation, and aslo the fill after "see your mother..." was alwasy fucked up in live. Deal with it, he is a mediocre durmmer...

Right? It's about fucking time to hear blackend with BASS!! Lol 😂

Tone sounds similar to Rob's which is weird. But thisis probably because he is playing without a pick this time.

@Davide Bonvicini I know that, but it didint seem here like he played with a pick.

Randomeris1 uhhh hes playing with a pick, look at 1:34

@@Randomeris1 3:15 3:23 hes playing witha a pick

Fact check: true

Then after Lars got sloppy

Trujillo's stage presence is almost non-existent and the fucking crab walk thing he does is just borderline cringe especially when he spins around like an idiot. Roman Reigns lookin ass lol

@KTV 4U Jason was like a metronome!

They were pretty good with Cliff

Same here ‘02, ‘17

My first time was seeing them 09 and it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever been to

Yeah me to..i'd love to see the old stuff from them..not likw this one

RockStar_MP Yeah tell me about it!

@Legend Plasma futurama my boi

in the show, he's frozen in time at new year's for 1000 years.

Saint Martins Hahahaha that’s class

Haha That's great. He was definitely trying to swing something there.

I'm still THRASHINNNMN

23years today!!

Happy new year!

Me too!

Is it the last time they played blackened before he left?

@@AlonGoloyad1 that was in 2001 November

Fuck yeah

@@BubbaBass_Official 2000

I miss Jason man...

That's the only reason I have this versión over the studio one Hahaha Jason's NOTHING LEFT TO KIIL!

Unfortunately not. He had best sound and skills around 89-93, here he is starting to be really sloppy. In S&M he is not mostly because they didn't choose too many difficult songs (and Battery is the easiest out of the fast paced ones they have actually), and because of the fact he has metronome out there.

@@drumbeard not at all 89 was sluppy as hell.

yeah lars playing really was at its peak at that time . i remember that well because drummers ( not internet critics that play on pilows :D like we have nowadays ) didn't make fun of him at that time like now plus he started to develop his signature sound in the 90s and his playing is more mature . personaly his playing on S&M is the major reason i started drumming . and 90s metallica and especially 98/99 will always be great for nostalgic reasons . and Man Jason Newsted really added to metallica both in live shows and bass playing .

Yeah he does sound pretty great here.not sure I'd agree about him being peak here but its certainly not shabby

All the cocaine was def helping him

He'll yea

hahahaha that one was good :)

Uuh no he actually did not, missing a lot of key hits and breaks Bad job

Grjónmann Burns What? Have you heard him playing it now and since this gig? Pretty sure you’ll agree he did a great Job. Quit hating on him just to hate in him. I don’t think he’s that great of a drummer, but he did a great job here.

@@drummerinn Obviously you love Lars so much you know how to play his stuff better than he does! You love Metallica so much that you know every hit, fill, and run enough to notice when they're missed! Just a poser that thinks they could do better while in reality only hits the keys on their keyboard, not the drums in the biggest metal band in the world.

FORSEN BAJS

Why are you guys so butthurt..? I love Metallica and been listening to them since 1986, gone to I dont know how many shows around the world and they always deliver. Im a drummer myself and been playin all of those songs for decades both with my band and in my studio, THATS WHY I dont like when the songs are not played like they are suppose to, and for example KEY part in Blackened where you always are air drumming along at the shows and then hear this bullshit, it annoys me and shitload of others. So yes I've got EVERY right not to wanna lick Lars asshole and agree to this indifference in that crazy killer song. Metallica 🤘

WINTER IT WILL SEEEEEND

THROWING ALL YOU SEE

INTO OBSCURITEEEAH

@@jasv49 DEATH OF MATHA EAAAARTH

NEVAH A REBIRTH

Me too. He completed the band

I really agree with both. Maybe jason was just right for that time but wasn't right for the more "family friendly" instagram metallica

We all do brothet

What happened to him? Did he die?

@@Fedor_Shtykov yes he was killed by James Hetfield after Newstead tried to do a solo project

And the thing you hear is jason and not kirk 🙈

Was there with ya bud, 20 yrs old and the best show I've been to so far. Was a few rows back stage left.

was also in the snake pit. remember the 3 big giant dudes pushing everyone around?

Me too !

Me too

And me to!!!!

I understand completely, but I'm gonna stick my opinion here But Like Cliff

Rob is better

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No. New millenium is January 1st 2001. Since year 1 is the first year of the calendar, year 1000 is the last of the 1st millenium, and 2000 the last year of the 2nd.

Actually not, new millennium started in 2001.

The millennium started on 1/1/2001. The year 2000 had to actually happen before 2000 years had elapsed.

Phillip J. Fry was frozen.

I was there, and the crowd got kinda quiet as the clock struck midnight, with all the fears of y2k, could you imagine? Being stuck in a stadium packed with people with no power? Of course it never happened, and all the bands took to the stage to jam Detroit Rock City as a finale. Best concert ever.

It'll be Nimes 2009 or 2004, so don't expect anything.

@@poliszslaw5499 i know, but we already had Blackened in this series, I want them to post Dyers Eve, Frayed, To Live and Justice

@Lewis Case Dyers Eve* He played it skipping 3/4 of the kicks*

SJoriis There has not been a #30YearsOfJustice video for Blackened. We posted a preview from the Justice Box a few weeks back but that was not part of this series.

@Lewis Case Np

Tammy Coates Yesss

100% Agree the synergy between the 4 at its pick

El milenio

@@dalelike9036 tecnicamente el milenio se despidió el 31-12-2000

Lucas Mackenzie Realmente, aí ele ja tava com 36 anos

Acho que está até melhor agora, a banda toda tá numa fase muito boa né.
