Metallica - DOWNLOAD 2004 - [FULL SHOW MULTICAM MIX AUDIO SBD] - UK 

Best Lars performance ever!

Imagine you're Slipknot's drummer, you have already played a full set with your band with all those crazy drum parts and you get asked to play basically another set with Metallica and deliver a brilliant performance with zero rehearsals. Joey was an absolute monster of a drummer.

Lars never liked Downloading anyways so I understand that he wasnt there

Joy jordison interview : “A lot of people give this guy shit, but they need to shut their fucking mouths because Lars Ulrich is probably one of the best and most innovative drummers ever. I got to tour with the guy and I watched him play every night from behind the kit, and his double bass was completely on point. He’s also one of the best businessmen that keeps this type of music going; he’s the heart of the whole fucking community, because Metallica are the kings. There’ll never be anybody that will match them, and Lars is a huge, huge part of that. Without that guy, and the influence of that band, I wouldn’t even be sitting here talking to you. Lars is one of my gods and he always will be. That guy fucking rules, period. So when I got the call asking if I’d fill in for him at Download Festival, of course I knew everything because he’s one of my hugest influences. I remember playing to his shit all the time growing up and trying to be as good as him. Our technical abilities are way different but I’ll still never be as good as that guy, and getting to sit in his stool was one of the biggest fucking dreams come true. What an honour. I love that dude.”

Holy shit, Dave Lombardo absolutely smashed it. Battery with his drums sounds absolutely incredible.

37:05 James: "Joey you rock" Joey absolutely smashed Seek and Destroy. Rest easy Joey

RIP to Joey, jamming with legends and a true trailblazer himself, heavy day and hail Joey!🤘🏽

It's funny how Hetfield is so used to Lars screwing up the fill at 5:26 that he starts singing too early. XD

Did you notice how happy James was throughout the concert??

Love how James is almost dancing at points when he realizes he can just play his parts with faith in the beat being kept :)

whoever edited this together needs a medal! to put together the music with all the phone camera shots and pro shots etc.. brilliant!

its incredible how different the drum kit sounds with Joey and Dave playing

26:30 The crowd is chanting "die, die, die" and James says "make lars hear you" as if he wanted lars to die. Meanwhile, lars is in the hospital. hmmmmmmmmmm.

Battery - 1:44 The Four Horsemen - 7:13 Bass Solo - 14:55 For Whom the Bell Tolls - 15:52 Guitar Solo - 20:30 Creeping Death 22:20 Seek And Destroy 30:03 Fade to Black - 38:25 Wherever I may Roam - 46:30 Last Caress - 53:07 Sad But true 55:30 Guitar Solo #2 - 1:00: 58 Nothing Else Matters - 1:03:00 Enter Sandman - 1:08:50

I can't stop watching this performance, Joey was amazing. One thing I have to point out, you can tell he was extremely nervous, he's known to headbang during his performances and he wasn't doing any of that during the MetallicA one. He wanted everything to be perfect. Joey, you were perfect. Rest in Peace.

Even though Joey was in one of the biggest metal bands of all time I bet this was a huge childhood dream come true for him. You can see it in his face 😂

Dave was about to play the bridge... He almost forgot they don't play that part live.

Here after hearing about Joey's death... Rest in power, king

My god, what a massive improvement on drums. The songs sound totally renewed, even with the lack-of-rehearsal glitches here and there.

1 - Battery (w/ Dave Lombardo from Slayer) 2 - Four Horsemen (w/ Dave Lombardo) 3 - For Whom The Bell Tolls (w/ Joey Jordison from Slipknot) 4 - Creeping Death (w/ Joey Jordison) 5 - Seek & Destroy (w/ Joey Jordison) 6 - Fade to Black (w/ Flemming, Lars' drum tech) 7 - Wherever I May Roam (w/ Joey Jordison) 8 - Last Caress (w/ Joey Jordison) 9 - Sad But True (w/ Joey Jordison) 10 - Nothing Else Matters (w/ Joey Jordison) 11 - Enter Sandman (w/ Joey Jordison)

Wow. The only Metallica show ever where they didn't play Master Of Puppets was the one night they had someone who could actually play it.

never seen joey playing so calm before 😅

Just can't stop crying.... My soul is broken, but love to see a dream of Joey come true

I was at this. It's one of my favourite memories. When Joey starts improvising and their faces start beaming. It was said that the rest of Slipknot said Joey created rock history that night when they greeted him after. It felt like it. RIP Joey.

seek and destroy sounds so fucking awesome with joey

That fuckin' double bass on Creeping Death was awesome. I used to be a huge Slipknot fan, i kinda lost interest but Joey is still one of my favorite Drummers

I didn't remember this live, Lombardo is a king of course, but it's amazing how Joy used completely different rhythms than Lars, but it still sounded really good!

Joey got asked to play in one of favorite bands and at 37:09 being told you rock by James in front of millions. Man. I cant imagine how happy and humbled joey felt. He had a short life, but glad he was able to experience this and so many other cool things. May he rest in peace.

RIP Joey, accomplished more in 30 years than anyone could do in a lifetime.

I started crying when I heard the ending of Battery.

I was lucky to be there. What a day it was, Soulfly, Slipknot, Machine Head, Korn , Metallica!! I thought Joey was terrific. Happy memories ...

@1:27 that guy shouting ”It’s alright he’s the worst one anyway” give him a hug

Lars is allergic to the word "download", so it's understandable why he doesn't want to play there .. Btw R.I.P Joey Jordison , you are a great drummer

My God that was the best version of Battery since 1986 era Lars!!

16:48 Joey: Dafuq is going on?

Metallica with Dave Lombardo playing a song written by Dave Mustaine is like a thrash holy grail

men fucking battery sounds so fucking good with lombardo

Battery - 1:44 The Four Horsemen 7:13 Bass Solo 14:55 For Whom the Bell Tolls - 15:52 Guitar Solo 20:30 Creeping Death 22:20 Seek And Destroy 30:03 Fade to Black 38:25 Wherever I may Roam 46:30 Last Caress 53:07 Sad But true 55:30 Second Guitar Solo 1:00:58 Nothing Else Matters 1:03:00 Enter Sandman 1:08:50

They could have jammed Dyers Eve with Dave, now that would have been awesome! If there's a drummer out there that can nail that song is Lombardo.

This should've been the set list. Battery Blackened Dyers Eve One Creeping Death St. Anger Hit The Lights Whiplash Enter Sandman

The Creeping Death performance is one of the best things ever in a metal ever recorded. You can literally see Jame's face just make this totally overjoyed look when Joey just aced his drum fill into the crash hits in perfect time at 25:11. Just one of the best things to see, so satisfying. At 25:15 he just shakes his head in disbelievement that it all sounds this good.

You can hear Lombardo sometimes doesn't know the next bit but quickly switches to the correct tempo/rhythm. I wish he was Metallicas drummer and Lars took a backseat from now on, he is a monster(and not in Slayer anymore anyway).

It must of been a real treat for MetallicA to play with drummers.

Metallica rules. Drummers show love. Haters keep on hating.

i could listen to joey play metallica literally all day. i wish there was more

I love the smile James makes at 25:16 after Joey does that fill just after 25:11 he’s so impressed and enjoying Joey’s playing. Must have been huge for Joey to get that type of approval from one of his heroes!

"Metallica is feeling better than ever" right when Lars is absent AHAH.

Lars sounds good here :)

RIP Joey. What a day it was. Whilst we were waiting for Metallica to show we had a massive empty or filled with piss plastic bottle fight. I remember when Joey played we collectively gasped as he played songs we've heard a million times and brought them to another dimension. "Joey, you rock!" said James Hetfield

Lombardo always kills it with the double bass. Holy fuck. He should replace Lars.

Dave Lombardo and Joey Jordison did a masterful job on the songs they were given. I especially like Joey’s use of double bass during Creeping Death.

This is by far my favorite Metallica live performance. EVER!! Oh what could have been.

Dave drumming: here's the songs, the beat, perfection, quality drumming Joey drumming: lars is going to buy a new kit after im done

re-watching today to celebrate what an amazing drummer Joey was. Rest In Power

OMG the double bass part in battery

That last part of Battery with the double pedal sounds SO MEAN with Lombardo!!! Kickass

i wish there was a better audio mix for this historic concert.

What impressed me most is how Joey played so tastefully on Nothing Else Matters. Chops are absolutely the most important part for Metallica but his swing and his groove and just everything else is perfect

You can see how happy the band was to have Joey Jordison behind the kit, finally a good drummer!

I was at this concert. The crowd was ready to turn nasty when we thought metallica would cancel. Was awesome seeing this, a well decent compromise. Creeping death was killer!

That insane speed and precision of Mr Dave is truly worth listening to it again

Just came back watching this after a long time. Already missing Joey.

Seeing this after Joey just past really hurts. He was the best drummer Metallica ever had. RIP to the GOAT 🤘

I was here in 2004, and it was a very hot weekend. Me and my friends were burnt to a crisp. When Metallica started to play Fade to black (38:25) it started to rain (just a drizzle) it was the only relief we’d had from the scorching heat. Paired with that opening riff makes it one of the most spiritual experience of my life

Who else is here for Joey? RIP

A perfect solution for Metallica - Lars would be still manager but hire Lombardo on drums.

Lombardo was playing Mechanix instead of FH lol

"Metallica is feeling better than ever" Yes, that means you should be calling up Dave Lombardo and doing a little switcharoo.

You can really feel a different energy flowing on that stage that night. Metallica were brutal and angry as when they were young. The audience was so fucking lucky that night to witness that event. I would pay more than the normal price of the ticket to see Metallica playing with a drummer like Dave. Lars, you can still be the manager and founder of Metallica, Please hire Dave!!!

R.I.P. Joey. . Jammin out with Cliff & Dime on Heavens main stage.

RIP Joey, you'll be missed!

Joey with approximately 1 hour to rehearse. Amazing job, Metallica played at another level that night (a lot of energy). Drum work on Creeping Death was fantastic.

Joey...Best of the Best!!!!!!!!! Forever🤘🤘

That version of Creeping Death - by far my favorite Metallica song - gave me fucking chills!!

i was there

Joey fucking murdered Seek and Destroy. Even James looked over at him after the interlude/solo like "holy shit dude."

Now Joey's gone this gig is even more special. Glad to of been there. R.I.P Joey Jordison

for the the first time in their metallica careers, james, kirk and rob played with drummers who can actually keep up a steady tempo and rythm. it's clearly visible that they are loving their time together. must have felt like ''cheating on your spouse and really enjoying the mistress' sex but marriage comes first'' type of fling.

Got to appreciate James doing everything he can to make this show seem as legitimate as every other Metallica show and not a compromise. He really goes the extra mile here to make the moment feel super alive. Good showman.

I see a lot of people giving Lars crap, and while I would agree he isn't the most talented drummer, Metallica wouldn't exist without him. It was his connections, his business savvy, and his determination to make Metallica the biggest metal band in the world that got them to where they are today. Although he can be a prick at times, you gotta respect a man who isn't afraid to speak his mind and stand up for himself. Real Metallica fans love Lars, that is all there is to it.

I was there for this and it was the first time I saw Metallica. I didn’t fully realise how historic this gig was at the time. One thing to note is, if there was ever any proof that James is the rhythm section of the band, this is it. The reason Lars can do his fills and it doesn’t cause a problem is because James is the one who they’re all playing to. Considering they had zero rehearsal and changed the set list 4 times before they came out, the fact they didn’t miss a beat is outstanding

Rest in piece Joey, such a sick drummer!

Metallica is here and we feel better than ever. Because we have real drummers for once and double bass something we haven’t heard or had in years

MEATALLICA kicks ass with dave lombardo! he is a freaking BEAST!!! they haven't sound like this since 86 when they opened for Ozzy.

I would have loved to be present at this show.. Glad we have the recordings though. Thanks for sharing this - and, more importantly, RIP Joey.

Oh Joey, you absolute legend. What an amazing performance. Especially after having done their own set. I wonder what state these drummers were in when they offered to fill in short notice lol, probably half way through partying and chilling then back to work to save Metallica. I can't lie, sliptallica are the best.

Ohh boy, DAVE LOMBARDO!!! What a drummer and what a great man. RESPECT.

Joey always in our hearts🙏🥁💔🤟

That Four Horsemen drum intro is fucking amazing! Dave Lombardo is the man!

"We feel better than ever..." Yes, James, You said it yourself!))

best live performance of lars since 1994!

It's absolutly amazing these guys know all the drumming so perfectly they can just play it at a moment's notice 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bless his lol Danish ❤....poor child probably had a nervous breakdown after listening to two years worth of Kirk's jokes. Rest in peace Joey and thank you for coming in clutch! 🥁🥁

Creeping Death is amazing with Joey

RIP Joey. Such an amazing drummer. When they played sad but true he played it knowing every nuance of how Lars played it live. For example speeding up the fill after the 2nd solo. The random Lars fills spot on. Would be indentical, but Joey with better footwork. He was so good. He just wanted to cater to the crew with what they are used to and he did well.

The joy of the band without the rain cloud of lars being there is amazing to watch.

the best metallica has ever sounded

Metallica get so much heavier and meaner live when the drum parts is actually played as they were recorded haha. Ending of Battery is crazy.

What a great show this was. Imagine getting called up to a drum gig from your favourite bands, a fresh, rearing to go Metallica and you've played a full hour set beforehand- that's a adrenaline rush for you!
