Metallica: Fade to Black (Lisbon, Portugal - July 8, 2022) 

Def feels like we've entered a new prime of Metallica, everything sounding better, and you guys looking great

I'll tell you the truth it was my first show of them, I was very depressed with life, I went to the show because I really like the band and honestly after the show ended I could only think how wonderful life is, it was one of the best days of my life thank you Metallica

Some of the most beautiful songs ever written in the history of music, oddly came from a metal band that started out as one of the heaviest things on the planet.

Metallica is noticeable with much more energy, what a thrill to know that they can still transmit that feeling, keep it up Metallica are the best

Damn. You can tell that he is singing with his whole soul!

For me, this is the best song Metallica has ever written. Beautiful compositions, heart wrenching story, breath taking solo and an incredible outro. The fact that a couple kids in their 20s wrote this in a garage is incredible. Thank you Metallica \m/

Imagine working with your best friends and loving your job!

Best show of my life, I was standing for 16 hours to be in the first row and it was worth it. Love you METALLICA 🤘🤘🤘

Seeing these guys in the front row is life changing. I experienced something that billions will never experience.

that "I'm missing one ... inside of me" was just -- beautiful!

They couldn’t have posted this at a more perfect time. In the most difficult times of my life Metallica has been there and they continue to be the light that keeps me going and reminding me to stay strong. I know I’m not alone and neither are you…If you struggle please reach out to someone. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

This song has so much dark emotions behind it, expressed in such an energetic way.. it’s just beautiful and those who know could definitely feel it there!!

why this song was never used for the S&M shows is beyond me. Totally fits

4th time watching them in Portugal, and FINALLY they played this song, thank you Metallica! 🤘

Eu estava lá, e foi bem no dia do meu aniversário, 33 anos. Melhor presente que dei a mim mesmo. 🇵🇹🤘🏻

Absolutely love Metallica, thanks to my dad for showing me this band 🫡

I've suppressed about 20 years of pain, and within the last year have truly labored through each day and long to wake up in different skin. I don't want to die but I want to kill what I loathe about myself. This song is a daily lifeline for me. It's what pulls me out of my descent and keeps me looking for some light. Thank you Metallica for these performances and providing a bolt of lightning to illuminate the darkness I'm in. 🙏

James: „do you feel it?“ *me absolutely sobbing in front of my screen* No james, i don‘t think so.

I remember James saying this is the song of theirs he'd choose if alone on a deserted island and could only choose one song from their own discography. So yea, this song means a lot to him, I'msure. I can imagine why. Even at the point of this being written, James wanted a "better singer/vocalist" in the band so he could focus on guitar. This was also the first time he sang a song like this on record. Needless to say, James' vocals are the perfect match for the band.

Also really love how Kirk has been working in more free styles into his solos putting some twists on it, keeps that unique feeling every time you hear these songs, and its like going on a ride when he hits it as he goes off, just hanging on for the ride, then brings it back towards the end to where its familiar. Really adds something special to these live performances and keeping that feeling of seeing something for the first time where as so many bands just play it exactly like the original track. If we wanted just that, we could listen to it at home, but live its nice hearing it as if its something everyone is hearing for the first time.

My first concert, been wanting to see them live as far as I remember! What an amazing night it was! Thank you, guys!

They are reaching absolute perfection. These songs are incredibly technical and challenging, and they keep being better at playing and performing them ! it's insane, the talent and the skills that these musicians have.

5:14 That shadow looks fucking amazing

Yes fade to black!!! Please, whiplash for the last. 'Cause we are metallica!

I love the beginning of this song ... And then James telling y'all that you're not alone, amazing guitar solo at the end 🔥🔥 .. A depressing lyrics that actually makes you comeback for more for different reasons .. ❤ thank you Metallica ❤

Second time there first time watching them playing this song, one of my favorites

yall are the reason i play drums, much love to yall and i will never stop listening/ playing to yall

I was at this concert while going through a rough time and I have to say that this song was pretty uplifting. Suddenly a tear of joy came down my face at the end. It was a beautiful moment. ❤️🤘

I have been playing guitar for 17 years, and you guys were the beginning influence. Now having 5 solo albums under my belt, I am proud to be a Metallica fan!

Okay but can we talk about how they connected beautifully with the public here, and made not a "Metallica concert " but "Metallica and everyone " cuz let's say it they all were in one big harmony. Amazing.

Well, pay attention to the old man sitting behind the drum, you will realize that it is you who is old. It is amazing.

4:32 17 years at my first Metallica show James shouts to the crowd before playing that banging riff. Me in the mosh pit with all these Portuguese people I can’t speak to just start going crazy best show of my life thank you Metallica! Come to Australia 🇦🇺

Rock And Roll Metallica Is So The Best Rock And Roll Band Ive Ever Heard In My Life We Can Rock And Roll All The Time

They are in good health!! god bless metallica. Legendary band!!

Simplesmente Metallica !

After all this time kirk is still one of the coolest dudes alive 😎

3:09 broke me bcse of the way James sang, wow

Always with Metallica and honored to be in the Metallica familly since I've 13 old years. Support from eternal French fan

Thank you Metallica, thank you Nos Alive, it was amazing, dream come true.

Шедеврально !!! Металлика одна из немногих групп ,достойных уважения!!!😜💖🤟

Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Bye...

This is probably the best live performance of fade to black I've heard from them. Shit would of sounded studio quality without the crowd.

Fade to Black and one shaped my love of metal forever music that made us feel the rage and energy of something that no one else had when we listen to it and for that I will always Ride the lightning.

Wow, that line "missing one inside of me" was f.. deep 😮

Always chill with this song

YEA FADE TO BLACK!!!!!!!!!

Love Metallica 🤘💓🤘

I get goosebumps after James Says do you feel what I feel and the rest of the song! The best live performance and best song in my opinion!

Yes, life is a strange thing, somewhere the war is going on very close, and somewhere there is a concert of a wonderful group, people are happy and cheerful, there is no war for everyone

The first 5 records are so revolutionary. Load isn’t awful either. Love Metallica 🤘

I was there towards the middle and man, what an amazing show

To me this performance was easily the best I've ever heard. I can relate to this song and it definitely hits hard. Thank you Metallica for writing this Masterpiece 🤘

*I WAS THERE* ! My first time seing Metallica LIVE! Best Night of my life!

The older they get, the better they sound! I’ve seen them 4 times (3 in the past 4 years) and am about to see them again in November and every concert has left me thinking that they sound better than ever. God has truly blessed them with an incredible gift ❤

After seeing this song performed over the years I can say that “Greeny” was meant to be played on this song

James's voice getting better each year.

I love this song and they look like they are having so much fun playing lately. I think this is one of those songs that is challenging due to the change in rhythm from slow to fast and back again. James does a great job shifting from the mounted guitar to his electric, I would jack that up for sure! F’n awesome as always Papa Het 🤘

The most beautiful and powerful song ever written, in my humble opinion

Amazing Music + Super Awesome Guitar Solo 🎸 + 🤘 + Amazing Video + Wow + Metallica 100% Amazing

Their greatest song

This voice ❤ Fade to Black is definitely a song that got better over the years!

Oh, teen years song.. oh fade the black.. whole ride the lightning album.. love it

Still one of my all time, All Time Favorite songs!

Thank you, Metallica, for playing so well in my City. I Will love you Forever.

I was there, my second time seeing them, it was AMAZING!

This song my favorite from Metallica...makes me feel sad... ❤️

Melhor solo da vida!!!

Bulgaria is waiting for you, guys!! Metallica ❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸❤️ forever!!!!

Great performance, but I wish Metallica would release the MadCool Madrid 2022 live performance and James talking at the end about suicide and reaching out for help if you need it. Those fans in the Met family know they have that support 🤘🏼

F'in' awesome!!

James still rocks after all these years.. What a legend 💥🤘🏻

Best metal band ever 🤟🏼. I’m 49 yrs old and I’ve been listening to them since I was 12 years old!

Yet another amazing live performance from Metallica, the audio was great 🤘

Glad to see Gary Moore's Greeny Les Paul still rocking on the stage and not sitting in the vault.

Obrigado Lisboa! Muy grandes 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼🇵🇹🇪🇸

God, I hope to see them live soon at some point, their production value in these concerts have stepped up everything! I wish some of these live versions were on music streaming platforms.

I already turned on the nodification Bell,i don't want to loose this is the premiere of My favorite band!

Primeiro concerto da minha vida com 16 anos. Fiz uma viagem de quase 4 horas para ver Metallica e depois esperei mais 7 horas no recinto do NOS ALIVE para os ver. Consegui ficar na fila da frente. Valeu absolutamente a pena. Ainda consegui ir para casa com 3 palhetas :) Nunca me vou esquecer do ambiente incrível em músicas como a Fade to Black, Moth into Flame, e... Bem, todas elas hahah! VIVA METALLICA E PORTUGAL 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

I almost cried when I realized that I was finally going to see this song played live.

🎶🎶🇵🇹 Que ganas de ver a Metallica en Portugal.

My boyfriend loves you guys soooo muchhh😭. He always pretends he’s playing a electric guitar. The look on his face when he hears your music:). Forever thankful for you guys. I also enjoy your music❤️

That intro will never not ever hit me all types of ways.

They sound and look GREAT. WOW. Literally speechless.

I got my first job so I can save up to see metallica live before they go! I've been listening to metallica since forever and its my dream to see them live🤘🎸🔥

You boys are ripe! At your peak. I think you are all amazing! James you are lookin good dude! Keep it up!

Papa Het is the epitome of a true Rockstar! That voice and his stage presence are absolutely amazing. 😍 Plus the energy of Lars on drums then you have Kirk and Robert makes it even more metal... I wish to experience this Metallica concert here in the Philippines! May God bless Metallica good health and more years to perform. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Next stop.. HALF TIME SHOW 2023!

Kirks guitar is a '59 Gibson Les Paul burst. I think its worth like 2 mill or something. Sounds so nice on that lead.

Thankyou Metallica. A really good performance. My father died the day after, so I put off watching this until now. Yes I did cry! To Kirk: Greenie tone is amazing! Peace y'all and thankyou 👍🤘✌

Man I love this!!!!!!! Rock on everybody 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the kind of love only the best can deliver

Not alot of big hitter like these guys around now, not from their era anyhow. We love you

Long Life Guys. You were and still are the most powerful thing in Music history. Follow you since ‘94. Love from Italy.🇮🇹

It was one of the best concerts I've ever been! Thank you, guys!!! You're more than Fabulous & Indeed we want More! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 😊

Metallica is like wine... Even it's gettin older but it's gettin better ❤

Masterpiece! 🤘🤘🤘Metallica forever. How I love this song!

Every show i seew of them, this one was my 9th show, i always leave sad at the end because i'm always afraid that there's a chance i would never be able to see them again live, this time i left with a deeper feeling that in fact was the last time i saw them live, but at least was a fucking awsome show. Metallica will always be my favorite band, their music is a life changer for the best. There will never be a group of guys like them. "You are note alone"

This song 🎵 has pulled me back from the edge more times than I can count. Used to be a heavy drunk 🥴 used to have horrible thoughts of nothing. Feeling like i should just end. This 🖤 this 🖤 Thanks for being there when the darkness tried to take over. And yes. I FEEL ALIVE!!!! FEELS GOOD TO FEEL ALIVE!!!!!!

"You are not alone!" Even watching them perform live from my living room just pumps me up. Definitely my favourite band. \m/

A timeless masterpiece! ✨️ 🖤🤘🏼

WOW, WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!!! I've been listening to you guys for nearly 40 years, still get goosebumps when I see a song played live. The energy and passion is still alive and well after all these years. Keep on rocking' Metallica, the GOAT of Heavy Metal
