Metallica - Fade To Black (Live Fort Worth 1997) 

Jason is so amazing live. just look at him playing half a feet from the audience. no distance at all with the audience, complete immersion into the music and the atmosphere. i wish he hadnt left

Love this version of Fade. Jason looks like a fan who happened to play with them that night, its great. And probably the best snare sound they ever had

Love how he sings "give" in the "simply nothing more to give" bit....a truly great singer hetfield

Best Fade to Black preformance ever !!!

The way James said "give" in simply nothing's more to give.......He fuckin killed it. Falling for it every time I'm listening to it.

Don't know why but the way he sings from 1:43 to 1:51 always brings a tear to my eye. The tone, the delivery everything about it.

3:23 I miss Jason. What an amazing moment. That girl fell in love with him right there and then. He was Metallica's battery.

I am here for THE girl I never forgotten

The sound of that SNARE is so good

this is how i counter all the "after-91" metallica haters. what band makes sound like the sound here if they sucked? theyve always been, and always will be, killer frickin musicians.

James Hetfield is arguably the greatest metal singer to be born in this millenia. Im an aspiring singer and watching videos of him almost makes me lose hope. i admire this man for all he has done for music and i hope one day i can sing my kind of music as well as him

I was at this concert, it was great; although everytime I've seen them, it's been great

Metallica live in Fort Worth Texas doesn't get better than this, was one of my favorite first concerts when everyone paid attention to the band.

this has to be the greatest sounding snare he ever had

la canción una masa, lo mas lindo ver a la fan cantarle a JASON minuto 3:23 , eso es lo que inspiraba en los fans

This is an immense live performance. Metallica are an unbelievable band.

and people still say Kirk is a bad guitarist..

Old is gold

The really best FADE version ever

All the little details and fills Kirk and James put in during the first half of the song on this particular performance is just unbeliveable. So beautiful

Miss that bass and country voice

the best fade to black live

metallica, iron maiden and black sabbath are the best bands ever!!!!

What a song!

most be the greatest performance of Fade To Black

I remember when my Dad got me this tape i was pumped!

This is just one of Metallica's songs that kick some serious booty.

one of the best song ever by the best band ever

najlepsze wykonanie fade to black i've even seen fucking awesome, so energy so power.....

If i wasn't 7 years old i would have been there, james voice was soo good then, i saw them in new orleans about a month ago and it just wasn't the same as this, and rob does nothing for the crowd

Great vid, best recording of Fade To Black ever!!!

James, kirk and Jason WOW

I like that image of Metallica back in Load/Reload times...

BEST SOLO EVER!!!!!!!

the ending is really good so far love Jason too👍

Jason Newstead was the realest guy on Metallica. Guy just wanted to keep making music, never bitched about who stole music. He was all about fun. Look at him interacting with the crowd.

Hetfield vocals best years about 1996-2003... Great performance...

BEST SONG EVER....

Espectaculaaaaaaaaarrrrr

James best vocal came from his 30’s era.

Still the best thing EVER!

There getting so old but u know what for being older they can still shread!

simply EPIC!!

More time has passed between the time this video was uploaded till today, than between the concert and the video uploading. Feels weird.

i would stop careing and start enjoying the music

Whoa man! James singing at around 2:05 gave me chills, amazing!

Prime

Amazing song!

i heard second guitar playing still while James wasnt???

ok! : ) it's the second Metallica's song which I can't get out of my head!! : )

Have u ever heard of Irvine 96'? ;)

Jason serahkan jiwa raganya kepada metallica.. Masa ini

James is playing an ESP custom and Kirk is playing Gibson LP

I dont understand why people say seatle 89 is better than this one... This one has better sound quality and clarity 🤔

best fade to black live :D

3:40 - 3:45 James' voice is so amazing *--*

@Gomez0317 that was footage from earlier in the concert, spliced in for effect, check out theyre latest concert vids, they do it there too

Alice in Wonderland of my ears jerry joker just guitarist and his friends musicians

CHE MERAVIGLIA!

when the song switches to the distorted finish at the end (4:10), the guiar sounds like it did on the record METALLICA!!!!!!

Utterly Amazing! \m/

Nice Song

kirk looks different with his hair cut like that

I had this on VHS yes the big @#$%ing A-TRACK TAPE lol good show !

it is

@MASTEROFMUPPETS01 i agree brotha!

who the fuck can dislike this song? this song i perfect, if you don't like this, GET OUT OF THIS WORLD

Lars Ulrich: "Fuck it, I'm playing the concert on shoes and a pair of boxers.... And nothing else. And nobody will ask questions." :p

3:25 I'm in love with that girl for more than 20 years. Where are you my love?

Holy shit that Gibson Custom has wicked tone, thick!

James voice is half what it was in 1989...

jason played very good man

@Gomez0317 James is using his skills to finger the strings like a hammer-on like the tapping in the solo of One

@MiniHorseRulz yeah i can :) i play guitar we got more sounds comin out of our instrument lol. yeah but i respect the guy i just feel more to jason cause of the music he was involved with during that period he was with them.

WHY DONT MY SPEAKERS GO ANY LOUDER

James is playing his Ken Lawrence Explorer, what are you talking about?

2:06 - James ftw

BEST SONG TO LISTEN TO WHEN YOU'RE PISSED OFF.... LOL

true, :( still sad he lost it

was this at the convection center in fort worth?

Who's that guitar man?? Where's Kirk?

@dukefan1520 stunning

i wouldn't say he was the best, he's ideal for metallica, but there are more talented out there

@Disposable5 Dude please calm down, what I was trying to say was that, at tthe time to me atleast, it sounded like he was still picking the notes while he was doing that. Probably shouldve worded that better in the first place.

@ArchonKnight2 yeah, very tunny :)

@Mozillas Its " uhnooo "

Yep he has 9 of them. You must have a black 5 string jazz bass.

@Mozillas i know xD ... think he says Ohh Noo

@hitandrundude44 haha. He says "oh no."

3:24 uff...

do they play in E# ??

2:53.. cute little moment

james hetfield....lol, so many things, and funny is one of them, whether he's trying or not, but i found his rocking on the stage build funny as hell, considering this songs about suicide

James transformed into hulk hogan in between :P ..

i was only3 or 4 when this took place. I lived so close to the convention center, yet i was so far from metallica

jason shows much more interaction with the crowd then rob my opinion man lol but w/e i dont mind ya saying that its your right to :)

dunno.... i think his vocals were good right up until he blew his voice... after all, look at moscow in 91 and san diego in 92. they were monstrous there...

It's a Gibson Les Paul.

at 5:23 does kirk tell james fuck you? lol

QUEM SABER LIDAR COM KIRK HAMMET?
