Metallica: Master of Puppets (Manchester, England - June 18, 2019) 

That's what prince said for the half time show

Michael R that’s actually almost a prince Quote believe it or not

Prince: "I wrote that"

Prince, the all time greatest

Yep Prince.

Dry Lars plays pretty good. But wet Lars plays similar to 90's Lars. 🤘

Drums are still acoustic even tho they’re being processed from the PA. If he doesn’t hit the drums hard they wouldn’t sound right. Every drummer sounds different for this reason.

Eyenfinity Face - The Cosmic Loner well now there’s a special effect right in front of him. If he doesn’t hit the shit out of it you get no cool splash’s.

I swear these comments are bought by Lars himself, lmao

@@MrValBar2 yeah, because the world's most famous drummer in the worlds biggest band doesn't have millions of fans.

The sheer amount of water coming of the drums in the first fill was insane, massive respect for somehow rocking on

You mean without cocaine?

I already drop my sticks when it's completely dry. His stick are also made of metal, making them extra slippery. Props to him for not fucking up

His playing is better than it has been in recent years

@@bls8959 mainly cause he started practising again

LOL!

I was there and despite the torrential rain (the video doesn't illustrate quite how bad it was), everyone was singing. Best metal gig ever!

Dashing Theroux The Snow I wanna see the live show man, but fuck my country

Hamza Khan where are you from?

I was also there, I fell ill when I got home lol

i bet you are british

@@mateoandrioli5672 Brother I'm from india but since british ruled us for several years so you've partially won the bet.

palash shrivastava Oof

@@palashshrivastava3441 Hahahaha mateeee

Mateo Andrioli i bet you’re Argentinian

Yeah, that's right. Metallica is underappreciated except by you.

Кто-нибудь может посоветовать металл группу, которая также хорошо выступает в живую? Я чёт не видел.

They're really not that tight every time though, but they should have mad respect nonetheless. As a drummer, guitarist, bassist and singer, with emphasis on the first one, no they are not tight every time. But these mf's play a lot of f-ing shows. I wouldn't be tight on either instrument every show. I've been on tour in Poland and the Check Republic and only had 4 shows at the time. Gods shall know I wasn't tight every god damn show. I was drunk af tho lol. And these old men do a lot more shows than that and I'm just 35, so there's that. Credit should be given when credit is due. Love these guys.

Same man the rain only added to it all it was an incredible performance.

What are the other 2?😂

it was legendary! my second Metallica gig where it rained monumentally!

Damm what are the other 2?

yooo we gotta know the other 2 now!

Thanks for clearing the were playing in rain in real life. I thought it was CGI.

Hell yeah!!! And recognize eddie brought metallica to a new generation that cant even instruments.

@@ramirorodriguez1778 I see a lot of people handling that Eddie scene so wrong. It’s like it’s gonna deter more people than welcome them in. I see too many gate keepers and that’s precisely what I hate about metal and I’m a metal head. I can’t stand these stubborn hard core metal heads that think they can dictate what’s good and bad. The genre will never become big again because band fan bases have feuds with each other when the bands just wanna make music and far too many sub genres with fans of one sub genre hating the other sub genre. E.g Metal core fans will hate grind core or whatever tf cores and shit you have now. That’s what’s wrong with the genre as a whole.

@@mast3rchief536 I can't see any gatekeeping in these comments. Hell one of the top upvoted comments is "welcome to the Metallica family"

@@KungfooBucket it depends where you look. I saw in the comments to the actual scene were people was complaining about how it’s gonna attract kids who listen to pop and make it commercial which is a bunch of bollocks. I was at this very gig so I have a say but I noticed a few people in this comment section having a problem with it. Just why metal will never be popular, too many gate keepers have bragging rights over those who are being introduced to it. You can be introduced one way or the other, these kids who listen to pop might not have been introduced to Metallica before since pop is everywhere in the mainstream so it’s easier access for these kids. Generally metal is imploding due to these annoying sub genres and that’s why it will never take off. Your best bet is the most popular TV series in the world right now including Metallica and that might attract new fans but again, the “hardcore” metal community have a problem with that while complaining about how their favourite bands don’t get awards at the Grammies or any other mainstream awards show. I follow pages like loud wire that report on rock and metal and whenever a band is reported, it swarms more haters than fans

Looks so badass

yeah wtffffffffff

Funny coz the rain only started the moment they came on and stopped when they finished. I remember getting pissed that it started raining but jeez it really improved the crowd. Everyone couldn’t use their phones as much. So happy it did rain now and I’ve been to many gigs and been fortunate that it hadn’t rained in any of those gigs until this. Very hard to go to many outdoor gigs in the UK without rain. I was 19 during this wearing just a t shirt and left the gig soaked but it was so worth it. Plus i pissed my pants since i didn’t want to step away for a moment to go to toilet and miss anything. I remember my friend took it upon himself to lift me on his shoulders, still haven’t told him I’d pissed my pants 😂. I’ll wait till we’re older haha.

And the Lord said, time to put your phones down, Puppetz is playing.

I miss slayer

😁

Metallica: "MAKE IT RAIN FASTER !!!......Our gear got soaked...oh bastard!!

@@The_Cosmic_Yog-Sothoth best comment on any Metallica vid

Agreed. Personally I think that 89 is a tad overrated still good but just a little overrated and this is a killer performance of MOP

I was in the crowd for this. Can confirm it was epic af.

Yeah, Seattle 89’ is my absolute favorite!

Lightning struck Busch Stadium in St. Louis back in 2017 right before Metallica played, crowd went NUTS.

The thing about James' downpicking is not the speed, is maintaining that speed, with a perfect precision and efficiency But he still does downpick faster than my alternate since I'm a beginner hahaha

Dont forget about kirk downpicking. He keep up with james for years. Not gonna lie, sometimes James “cheat” to give the mic to the crowd.

Muhammad Irsyazman it is not cheating imo. They have been doing this over 35 years and after all these years, they got old. It is incredible that they still do concerts actually. It must be very tiring for them. Such legends!

As a manc myself, seeing the greatest ever performance of the greatest metal song in my home in the rain gives me so much pride. This is as good as any metal performance will ever get.

Seattle 89.

"can you make it rain more?" Prince

You're just being biased because you were there lol good for you tho, imo Seattle 89 was best live recorded performance.

Definitely top 3 performances of this song for sure.

mannnnn i love late 90s - early 2000s rock and metal and cannot believe i've never given them a listen. this song is incredible and i wanna listen to the ablum now

i gotten into Metallica in the past month so yesterday when i heard this playing in stranger things i had a huge grin, so I can just imagine what the hardcore fans must feel like lol

@@sofaphobic Definitely do. There’s a reason Master of Puppets is consistently on top of lists of classic metal albums.

@@sofaphobic FYI this song came out in 1986

So glad people that are not Metallica fans discovering how awesome Metal is 🤟🤟🤟

Hello,how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.

imagine bro that would be epic

As a person who's tried it the only way I can describe it is like having 3 conversations at once while performing bain surgury with parkinsons

Like everything on guitar, how easy or difficult it is is entirely a question of time and practice.

@@UnchainedEruption Can’t argue there. I’ve only been playing for two years or so, so I guess my claim on what’s difficult is very different from those who have been at it much longer than I have

@@matt.g6968 brazil

Brazil is a continent?

Ok boomer

I was born in 89. Last I checked boomers were 50’s-late 60’s range. And listening to Elvis not Metallica

MattSipka it was a joke because you seemingly hate phones. A lot of boomers hate technology.

I know, I don’t hate phones, just people. (How am I supposed to film the concert with MY phone when everyone else doing the same thing in front of me? Easy! Rainy concert and a waterproof case!) in all honesty, you can never recreate the same experience on camera. It’s better to enjoy moments instead of trying to catch em all like Pokémon.

What’s an 8 track! ?

@@iwasjustsaiyan an old form of music tape I believe

@@iwasjustsaiyan LOL.

That shaka is worth the dough. I have an 8-track adapter, still. Love my Metallica tapes and CDs!

I was in high school from 86-90 and got into Metallica in 84. RTL was one of my first albums ever purchased. When I was in high school, Metallica was a bunch of nobody’s, and only myself and about four others in my High School even knew who these guys were. I was the only one who wore a Metallica patched up Jean jacket every day. I used to collect rare Metallica albums back then. I still have my collection stored away somewhere (Different colored vinyl albums of Creeping Death & Jump in the Fire as well as picture discs, bootleg concert recordings, interview picture discs, etc). I remember When AJFA came out, we had about 10-15 more students in the school that suddenly became fans. I knew things would never be the same from that point on. Once they hit the mainstream and became popular (pretty much from 1990 and on), I pretty much lost interest, as the nostalgia of being in that small exclusive club of fans was gone.

I was just thinking the same thing

Truth...🙏

I ran into him at a San Francisco Giants game once. Just a normal guy. He seemed familiar for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards I realized who it was.

James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.

@@johnnysinger3353 you're crazy if you think Lars isn't an integral piece of everything they've done. Even if yes, technically lacking as a drummer, he's played a massive role in the composition/arrangement off all their music.

Man that touched my heart Metallica Will always be the #1 band ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘

My favourite band ever, hands down. Seeing them live in London absolutely cemented that and earned them a fan for life. Not that I wouldn't have been a life long fan before.

thats true

@Michael Davis yeah

Whitesnake played during a much heavier downpour.

Same thought! Not something most would think about but definitely well done!

This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.

Hear the great downpour Louder than before With his cord in hand To regale the land Crushing current strikes On this raining night Fall onto your knees For the phantom power lord!

When Prince performed at the Super Bowl, it was raining while he played Purple Rain. They told him before he went on that it was raining, he asked could they make it rain harder, like him or not, he was 5' 2" of badass.

So true 😊

Julio Surimu im glad hes enjoying it at his age, especially as a 15yr old fan... who cares really if he rushes a little sometimes

Harran Exactly. What matters is he’s enjoying himself just as much as everyone else if not more.

The rain flying out of his drums is probably helping him feel more happy

@@peoplevsradio317 Get over yourself jackass. It was a funny comment.

Real asf! Drummers are honestly don't get alot of appreciation.

yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.

And played at 1.5X speed aswell is just incredible

I was at this gig and in between songs you could see them walking behind the drum to shake their arms to fling as much water off as possible before the next song. Everyone was drenched but it was an awesome night!

Makes it that much more badass

Generally, being in the pouring down rain already isnt

If you're wondering about electrocution while playing electric guitar/bass, then generally speaking it's fine unless you get struck by lightning (and Ride the Lightning); the patch cables are carrying extremely weak signals and there's virtually zero risk of shock via the guitar plugging in. If you grabbed the back of the output transformer on an improperly earthed/grounded amp, then you might get shocked if you were standing on ground level with a bunch of water around your feet, but even then most cases you'd be fine unless you had a pacemaker or a very weak heart.

Or they just thougt someone was watching Kinky Porn..

It isnt just heavy rain. Its Mancunian Heavy Rain. The drops need to be the size of 50 cal bullets.

You're deaf

and I thought that I'm the only one having this kind of thinking...yeahh
