Metallica: Creeping Death (San Francisco, CA - September 16, 2021) 

not a big fan of robs but in this mix sounds really brutal tough

Finally

Rob Trujillo is da shit! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 👊🏼

cause hes gotta match cliff

No. Rob's gotta be Rob. Someone in the bans or sound crew finally realized they'd been gimping him.

Looove the bass - so trebbley and warbley!

Definitely no Justice-Syndrome here

Not as Jason's bass line they tuned off as Khristopher said.

Totally. Great point. Agreed 💯

When's the last time you heard him sing the whole verse? If they played it in E standard instead of Eb, I'd think I was back in '86.

I will live too ,want to see all again; last 2018 in Stuttgart Germany

Ik but I still like it faster ngl.

Nah fast is thrash

sometimes i get shocked when i look at his picking hand THE DUDE NEVER GETS TIRED OF DOWNPICKING

and he never has to look down at the neck while playing at that speed,....just amazing

@@chriswoosley3883 dude has been playing the song for nearly 40 years... He probably can play the song while he is asleep lol

@@sonicxdudex765 you're right ,..but still,...thats crazy

Its the rehab

They’re getting ready for the Aftershock festival in Sacramento in the beginning of October, they’re headlining 2 separate nights!!! I’ll be there!!!!

fav song from AJ4A. Cant ever get enough from the last section

Shut up

They’ve always done these club shows every once in awhile. But it does seem like they’ve been doing this sorta thing a little more recently

@@biopsiacr YESSSSSS

Metallica IS back.*

Mfs out here playing teacher

@@chloesmurf Yeah, it's always better to just let people continue on with incorrect usage.

Lars is always off. Not because is bad it's just because he can't anymore play like he used to

@@GigiGuitar where are your vídeos playing better? Where is all your sucess great master? You must be yoda on drums, by the way you speak.

Still rocking Still rocking

That's right 58 and still banging my head thanks guys

Kirk is the best. I love him so much

I know lol, im seeing them in vegas coming up next week so im going through their recent videos and they sound pretty different than what I remember lol this performance sounds much closer to the original.

More like a cover band of themselves! 😬 They are not evolving sice the 80s realy much! Like AC/DC and the roling stones, the will die while playing one of there old songs on 1/5 the power! Sad but true!😉 PS: I guess thats not hurting them at all. They have taken care of themselves!

@@martin09091989 No one's immortal man. Everyone ages.

I get you but they are not better these days..just different. I love Metallica and they have been a part of my life for about 30 years. 🤘🏻

@@martin09091989 "They are not evolving since the 80s really much" well thats just a flat out lie lmao

@@martin09091989 uh what? They are awesome!!!

I swear it just sounds better and better... I'm wondering what's his secret

@@merciless2032 it's in his genetics, just look at his son. Rob's too killer man I'd honestly buy a record of him and his son jamming haha!

Should have heard it live when he was with suicidal tendencies opening up for metallica back in 94. Great show, who knew that the bass player for suxidal would be playing for metallica, also saw jerry cantrell leave the venue early so did not get to see alice in chains. But still great. And Danzig. Great show, hopefully they come to a small venue near Boston soon.

What do you mean 'proper' tempos? LOL This is great, it works, still fast.... but not same tempo as original track.

@@bobabooey4537 do you even understand what tempo is? The original recording of Whiplash is 158 BPM's. This clocks in at an estimated 145 BPM's.

@@mattyjoetvh What does Whiplash have anything to do with a Creeping Death video

@@jd0879 fr

its just too bad they still tune all the songs down so much, they sound more like a cover of their own songs than the original

And one day perform at the antartica too

I bet they will play to millions in the soviet union

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, they have a ways to go from playing tiny clubs such as this. Maybe if they get lucky and open for some big name band or something.

Pollstar says they outsold the beatles n stones... they are the biggest ticket selling act ever... wait.... polkastar must be wrong who are these kids?

@@GODHATESADOPTION I think AC/DC is first by seling tickets,not sure

I just keep watching that part over and over!

The greatest

Especially what these guys been through. Its amazing.

Well, it wasn't, was it? But it was surely better than I was expecting.

@@Cheximus bloody hell.

@@martsum398 ??

We have to applaud him for doing the most important part of his job.

He's still very off in this performance though. And I'm not talking the fill, they have not changed. His timing has some very basic hiccups at times.

No

@@MaMichels yeah, the beginning of the song is already super weird lol he's not the same anymore

@@MaMichels No bro. You’re not getting it. Lars historically speeds up like crazy. They have to be playing to a click here. This performance is so steady it’s unbelievable.

This is one of the best live performances of this song ever. It’s perfect. Flawless. Truly. I’ve been listening to and watching performances of this song from concerts in the 80’s to present day, and this is one of their top 5 performances of this song ever. My top 5 performances of this song: Seattle ‘89, Moscow 91, San Diego ‘92, San Fran ‘21 (x2 also at their 40th concerts).

I only miss james pointing at the audience 😂

@@london3618 that 83 concert is great

@@vasylobilinovic4624 absolutely true my friend. Almost 40 years ago..

And that beautiful classic white Flying V... it's like seen James from the 80s but with short hair and a beer belly

I miss Lars's kit from the 80s. His current lacks the punch of his past white Tama kit.

Hahahaha I know right 🤣

We must be related.

They've had plenty of time off to practice!

Did they play fade to black? Can't wait to see kirk on it!

Now I’d just like to see them play Trapped Under Ice or Dyers Eve. Eventually in this tour I think they could play one or the other, and they haven’t played Dyers Eve since 2019, and Lars hasn’t played the double bass for it ever, not even in 2004 when they played it for the first time.

I am right with you, man. I have really bad depression that no one understands (meaning doctors and friends and family) and Metallica, as well as other metal bands, help me out _tremendously_ . I'm so glad that you are getting over your depression. Hopefully I will find a way too one day. But, at least music helps a great deal for now. Cheers!

Plz don’t kill yourself

@@Purpleskyshorizon plz don’t kill yourself

Sorry it didn’t ping you idk how to do it plz dont kill yourself

Sorry typo

The only frontman who aged better than James imo is Tom Araya. He never lost a beat over the 30+ years that Slayer was active. James had a couple of small hiccups

Other singers I THINK OF when it comes to aging well... l think of Rob Halford, Dio (God rest his soul he was taken too early but even the close years to his death he was amazing), and Klaus Meine. James for me lost his grit. Down tuning I can handle, I just miss the ✨Grit✨

You have listened to the last 2 decades of music they have been putting out right? Their albums sure as hell dont get better with age lol

Yep. Official camera vids only please . Being stuck behind a phone in the air at a gig sucks donkeys.

jajajajaja no

Lol

It's a solo, you can't expect him to nail it note for note every time, I hate people who give them shit because they don't play everything the same way they used to in 1985. You're bound to make mistakes even with songs you've been playing for almost 40 years and solos can also be improvised a lot as well in case you do screw something up and it's his solo, so he gets to play it however he wants to as well.

He's not talking about mistakes, he's talking about changing the solo entirely as Kirk is known to do, especially the fade to black ending solo... just a WAHHHH fest. People like to hear great solos live, not just improv wahhhing

@@martsum398 That's the people who expect everything to always be played exactly how it was recorded though. Bands change how they play stuff and that includes the individual members too, so that doesn't really matter to me.

but the most important thing IMO is that he really practiced and rested during the lockdowns, which really helped him to get back on his feet. He's not sloppy like he was in the hardwired tour, and you can just tell that he practiced. Like bob rock said, you know if a guitarist didn't do their homework. And he did.

@@Colt2OO2 the thing is tho, ive listened to many live performances ranging many years and recently Kirk has just been playing the solos poorly, like he was trying to play the original version or implement more wah pedal and it just sounded terrible (including guitar tone). Except for now, I just watched 2 live performances from 2021, including this one and I'm blown away that Kirk sounds like he can actually solo. FYI I love the guy, but have been pretty disappointed with his live performances in the more recent years.

He sounds really good...👌🏼😎

man… he is the greatest 😫

It already made.

No.

For real. It's gotten better as he has got older. The day that never comes - s&m 2 👌

MorbidReign I've been kicked in the neck from a crowd surfer, kneed in the face in a mosh pit with my nose gushing blood, and got knocked down and almost trampled in a crowd surge at Metallica concerts in the USA. Those were the best days of my life!

Covid isnt going anywhere its going to be like the flew so everyone needs to get over it

Well, it just did😜

@@p81-d44 And it was awesome!

METALLICA POR SIEMPRE EN EL CORA DE TODOS!!

Simón hijo del ded

@@Axl_thrash JAJA

AMLOOO ES LA LUUZZZZZ

Por siempre

I mean it's been 2 years since s&m2 he hasn't been touring and he's stopped drinking. Never know what the future holds but he sounds great right now imo

At this point on his career i don’t even care if he can’t scream as he used to, the guy is almost 60 and stills sounds powerful even when he sings without any grit on his voice and he has only gotten better with age.

@ghost mall Same here. Most of the songs don't sound as heavy and aggressive with clean vocals. He's hitting the notes with power and dynamics though.

@@hinjurock70 I’d rather him sing like that than fuck up his vocals again and NEVER sing again

Yeah I would rather Jaymz sing like this without excessive yelling not only for longevity but at his age it just sounds better like this for some reason.

I wouldn't go that far, but they do sound re-energized.

Ever see James play this song live in 1986? LOL..... beast mode.

@@bobabooey4537 it's better than 80% that Metallica played since 2002-2009. But you're right, there is no comparision with 80's.

definitely not the best song. I wouldn't put this song over any Justice and Puppets albums songs.

If you were there.... hell yes.

No, it's the recording mix and the engineer doing it regardless of the venue

@@ironnads7975 yeah that’s my point

I usually feel bad for the hi-hat when I watch Lars play. He's really trying to send a message to that china symbol. 😷

The thing with Lars is, if he was anyone else people would praise him for having his own style.

It is easy for any drummer

I don't think Lars is bad at all. I always say to people, if you can do better then show me, since you're the millionaire drummer of one of the biggest bands in the world

I’ve been a stage manager for a few decades now. One thing I’ve noticed is people who trash Lars and say his drumming is simple and easy, you will never hear or see those people play drums themselves. Then you have people like Mike Portnoy who praises Lars as a great drummer with his own style. Go figure.

Sadly the "Motherfucker" was cut out.

hahaha go to sleep kid you dont know what you are talking..

Moscow 1991 😉

Seattle 1989

@@edijsneparts1621 kirk's solo in that show is not that good honestly, here is better imo

@@beergold I remember seeing all the "...And Justice for All" t shirts at the arcade and wondered what all the fuss was about. Then I heard One and was hooked ever since

The way ajfa should have been recorded

@@bluecomet1109 I hear you. I know a lot people share that point of view. Personally, AJFA is one of my favourite albums. As such, I’m okay with the bass tone, because it’s consistent with the theme and style of the album. The whole sound of that album is dry and compressed. That whole “scooped” tone that James refers to.

@@james_d_eaton exactly! Finally someone says it! I love ajfa too but I just can't get into the sound

Yeah man its really noticeable

Not even close to a click performance. Tempo is much better, but still messy.

What do you mean by that?

@@DankoHidalgo On the entire Hardwired tour, he sang the chorus in the major scale, but the original recording is in the minor scale.

@@jacoblopez517 Oh, I get it. I never really paid attention to that, so I never noticed.

Sounds like the record tempo. I love this, always liked their live speed also but it's time to slow down as the years go by :D

Fantastic!

He’s playing with a click (confirmed)

I would imagine all the time in quarantine he probably put I'm some actual practice time.

Was going to make the exact same comment! Lol

@@dakotaward465 well could be, but a band that tours as much as Metallica, I'd think they probably spent more time with family n stuff, since they're usually always on the move.

@@dakotaward465 he’s said many times before he never practises

Maybe it's been the lockdown break, but he definitely is playing great

He bought weed

He's using a clicktrack now a days

Great show for Lars

He really played a good set in 20 years
