You know, some people say they peaked with Master, some people say they peaked with the Black album, but for me this was their peak. I don’t think they ever sounded better than here. They were firing on all cylinders, without missing a beat. Flawless victory! 🤘
Have you heard their newest double album? They're not done yet. They went back to their roots with that one and even upped the game with their newest bass player Robert Trujillo. Death Magnetic was a reprieve in 2008, however, Hardwired... To Self Destruct from 2016 is on a total different level!
I think that's Cliff Burton wrote that part inspired by classical music. I'm not sure but it really seems like an opera part. Perhaps that lady identified that moment with any classical music she knows
For the whole episode I was waiting for Eddie to start that show, and I kept saying to myself "Let it be Master of Puppets" and when he started playing it I lost my shit, jumped on my feet and started shouting
The first version I ever heard of Master of Puppets was the S&M version, and something about I love so much. Whether it's James' vocals, the strings and brass that keep you in a more tense state of urgency, Jason's backing vocals, or Kirk's solo.
Me too man. As I kid I was a classic music fan and at 15 I first heard this version of Master of puppets and it totally blew me away and then I fell in love with metal music
Same. I was getting into Metallica and my girlfriend wanted to get me the Black Album for my birthday.. Her mom accidentally picked up S&M instead because of the black cover. Lol James only sings like half of the lyrics here, so I had no idea what the crowd was singing the rest of the time. Haha
@@Sicel1304I know right? It would've been a real crime if they didn't do justice while Kirk's and Jame's solo in harmony - but couldn't do it better in my opinion. That French Horn not only works so well in its own, but "accompanies" the guitar. Incredible piece of work.
@@jihwoanahn A story I always like to hear is from a friend of mine who got me into Metallica. One day, he started playing the S&M CD for me in his car, and it was the beginning of Master of Puppets. He looked in his rear view mirror (I was sitting in the back seat) and he said he saw my eyes get so big they nearly popped out of my fucking skull. I had never heard Metallica performing with a symphony before. The hairs on my arms and neck immediately stood up on end, and I demanded to him that he start the CD over from the beginning. The rest is history.
Michael Kamen is a fucking legend. Arranging MoP in a way where it goes through a noticable metamorphosis of it's complete sound quality, yet still managing to add a next level spirit to the song (notice how every fill and dynamic choice is straight on point) must have taken unimaginable amount of time. And I just can't comprehend how the band and the orchestra played it with such precession. Holy shit. Certainly the best version out there
I agree, it's just fascinating! Justice tone is second best 🤘 And the third, I think Black Album (if we talk about live) or Ride the Lightning (if we speak about albums)
Not metal music fan, but I have this concert on DVD and I LOVE it. I've bought it many years ago on a sale for about 5$ just from pure curiousity. One of the best decisions ever!
@@Carlos.Rivera Hi dude! I AM CHILEAN GUY, here the youth only listen that bullshit named "reguetón" , the heavy metal music for them it is " Noises", they does'nt know that real music is.
Stranger Things fans welcome to the club👋 If you turn left, your journey will continue with “Fade to Black.” If you turn right, you will see “One” there. If you move straight, you will see “Nothing Else Matters” there.
definetly their Peak Musically . they really had nothing to prove after that . i personaly gained more respect for this band after i discovered more Technically advanced and Cool bands like Dream theater , Planet X , Steve Morse Band , Aristocrats..... still metallica is my go to music with a special love for Load ( mixed with nostalgia i think ) and this Live Concert which just takes me back to 2001 instantly . i Hope they will deliver on SM2 and i hope they bring back jason on that one as it is kind of an anniversary thing .
@@mateusmartinsjunior6506 hes probably got some level of autotune here not a lot tho, and he really prepped his voice for this concert, they really gave it their all and nothing less
This is the first metallica song I heard, almost 17 years ago. I am not talking about the album version but this one. The performance is beyond godly (whatever that means). James is a freaking beast!! I can't picture Master of Puppets without the orchestra. Yes, I like this one more than the Seattle 89 version.
@@mitchand9 Ikr, the drums already make you work up a sweat more than others and then add black to it? At least in open air concerts and stuff the cool breeze can help cool you down but indoor venues?
Since I was a kid I loved Metallica, I remember one day my dad brought me a copy of S&M even though he didn't like metal at all, that DVD became one of my most cherished memories of when I was that age. Now that my dad is gone I remember him listening to this masterpiece, tho, he didn't really knew the great treasure he gave to me just because when I was just an 11 year old kid.
Pony Perez I think he knew he had to keep time for this, couldn’t screw up a whole orchestra. Must have been a hard day for him. No hate I love Metallica.
@@dean0101 in 1999 he was at the top of the game in most shows i have seen, nothing to do with the orchestra. Also he is not looking stressed or anything.
Lars became sloppy after another 4/5 years. He was never great,BUT perfect for Metallica. No one in Metallica after Cliff was great individually but they were tight and fucking GREAT together...that's why they still are together. I haven't heard of any side project of any of them, except the bassist
I remember when this came out on VHS and DVD back in the day. Just ordered an original copy of this on DVD and can't wait to play it on my home theater system. Wow i waited twenty years to own this blistering concert and just heard Metallica is going to do another show like this. YES
Nicely executed . the best rendition ever of the middle section harmony stuff . Newsted is the master of Metallica Bass groove and he uses the low B pretty cleverly . 2:21 reminds me why i was obsessed with lars playing when i was teenager . what a band !!
...still my absolute favorite rendition of this epic song! Everything from the symphony to the small artistic differences from the album version is just so fitting and musical. Pure awesomeness
This is outstanding! I've never been a huge Metallica fan. But, they are so passionate, you can't help but be impressed. And, the addition of the orchestra cranks it up several notches.
