@@bitlasyy he just wished that never happened you're acting like he said "yeah Jason is still alive and completely fine" completely immature behavior of yours
Still are. Nothing will beat this but they’re still great. Sure they have a new sound but let’s all be grateful they’re still touring after all these years.
@Goofie I have to agree with this. Even seeing them live in 2019, 31 years after this song released, there's nothing that compares to being in the pit for this song. Absolutely transcendental.
@KTV 4U No doubt And I always say that whenever people talk about live concerts, no one is more alive then them, but you can't lie they get a little sloppy no fault of there own and If I was going to listen to them live I would only listen to them up to about 92 anything past that studio versions are better. Besides there snm I liked that for some reason.
I truly believe if Mozart was to somehow been able to hear this he would have loved loved loved this. I think he would have been amazed. There is so much classical qualities to Metallica's music...
@@richardkranium2944 Same dude. One thing I’ve always liked about Metallica. Too many metal bands have solos that are just pissing contests on how fast they can play a few notes. I appreciate how Metallica doesn’t throw melody and rhythm to the wind with a lot of their solos. Pantera is another band with some really good melodic solos.
It was fucking awesome! Was 22 and saw them in Spokane the next night, my hearings never been the same since. Need a time machine, all,you younger fans would love it
One of the greatest anti war songs ever made, and it's entirely a reference to Johnny's Got His Gun, which was an anti war book written after the first world war. This song is absolute art in it's finest form.
Went with my , son and son in-law. AT&T . Told them they have to read, “ Johnny Got His Gun” . It will change your outlook on war. Especially for the young men that have to fight it. Making fat ass politicians from both parties rich.
@@MetalJuggalothat book fucked me up existentially, the hardest books on the iceberg was 3 the summer I died, 2 come closer and 1 johnny got his gun. Its such a living hell
@@sunnyztmoney yeah everytime I watch the movie for JGHG, I tell myself that I'm NEVER watching it again, and then I go and rewatch it months later. It's just so good
"Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell" Gets me every single time, powerful lyrics
I was there !! I was 18 and just finished basic training at Fort Benning ! Flew into Seattle my cousin picked me up and the next day rocking at the Key Arena to Metallica ! What a Epic show !
James sounds full of fury here. Love it! Excellent backing vocals from Jason as always. Rob is the better player but Jason beats him hands down for backing vocals and stage presence
Jason had the "just fucking bite into it" attitude. All his backong vocals are awesome. And Metallica songs lend themself for using a pick on the Bass.
Always found it interesting how in the album version it says "cut this life off from me" but in concert James Hetfield always say "cut this shit off from me"
Born after 89. I can't imagine what it would have been like to be there. Best live performance I've ever seen. Holy shit If I had to choose between going back in time to see this or a million bucks, I'd probably take the million but I'd consider it pretty fucking hard
@@golem3080 I'm not Schizo or anything but imagine there's time travelers there already and it's just a paradox (one big circle). Like that dude who brought a phone camera to the mike Tyson concert
I miss Jason with these guys. That harmony between him and James is great. These were Metallica's better days so to speak. Of course the early days with Cliff were even better.
I disagree, Cliff was amazing and a major part of Metallica’s growth as musicians. By Mr Newstead was hands down the best man to fill the position of bassist. Sadly he’s admitted himself he cannot play this kind of music on a bass anymore due to arthritis.
Freeking unreal!! James's voice at its pinnacle, Lars's drumming was the mightiest! Good Lord I miss these freaking years, nothing can match it to these days!
One Metallica I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel the scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please, God, wake me Back in the womb, it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please, God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh, God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please, God, help me Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body, my holding cell Landmine Has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell
This song was my introduction to Metallica when I was around 12 years old. I bought the And Justice For All Album back in 1989 and they have been a staple in my life.
This one also was my introduction to not just Metallica, but to metal in general. I was 11 yo. Never heard something like that before. After that there was no turning back: I needed more metal in my life
Sometimes in life at certain places. Time stops. And a group of people, become, as one. And something as incredible as this takes place. 9 mins of raw, pure emotion that a few thousand all experienced together. Not one of them will ever forget. Music can and will change you.
This James, a real king of lyrics and vocals,a beast of energy, this Jason, a Prince of performance and back vocals, this Kirk’s intro riffs.... all these are the Metallica soul, the soul of my youth... And we’re still going 🤘🏻
Imagine the lights go black, you can’t see anything, smoke machines and weed fill the air. Everyone’s screaming. A firework goes off and that’s the only form of lighting you get. Suddenly the 7th beer feels like nothing. You’re sober as shit. You slowly realize THE SONG from 88 is finally coming on. The hairs on your arms begin to stick up.As they drop into the most heavy and simultaneously clean sound you will ever hear, reality melts away.
When that album came out me and my friends were 17 and jammed in my townhouse basement. We tried one but never could tighten it like the boys of legendary metallica. To this day that song makes me feel alive. Thank you metallica.
I'm new to discovering metal music and god damn, I have watched this like 5 or 6 times. It's still just as good as the previous listen. I'd give anything to have been alive during the 80's and 90's. This looks so killer to have witnessed in person.
Something about that intro with the crowd cheering is so beautiful. It's reminds me of protagonists finally achieving their big goal in a movie. I can imagine how they felt in that stage seeing so many fans, knowing that they made it big. And holy shit, the heavy part of this song. The lighting makes it 10x better. I could say how I wish I was there but I can't do much about it. I would definitely kill to go back to the past and see this concert.
@@eddyjohnson1096 he maybe isn't the worst but he is by no means niel peart. He was just what metallica needed but even ringo is a better drummer than lars. Yes, ringo from the beatles pre lsd and post lsd he was still a better drummer than lars imo.
Wow... I 've been listening this track for ages, trillion of times... every day since I was a kid, now I'm 48 and honestly I can say and asure too... THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER... 🏆Thank you SO MUCH for this opportunity
I’ve been listening to them since they arrived on the scene. Their music is like listening to a symphony, classical music, Beethoven. I know every word, the guitar sounds, the drums. It’s imbedded in my brain. If I was in a coma, they played this in my hospital bedroom… I’d wake up
I find myself here every day. I dont know what it is. The power, the presence, the intensity, the head-banging, the togetherness, the lighting, the sound, its all just insanely good i would of giving arms and legs to be there.
I was 7yrs old, and everybody under 30 watched mtv like it’s TikTok today. And all I remember from this era was Guns N Roses & Metallica Ruled the Rock world for yrs & kept releasing good music. Micheal Jackson & Madonna controlled the pop world. Then about 2yrs later Nirvanas smells like teen spirit & Nevermind album changed everything , like overnight. The direction of music & the 90s , even the fkn sitcoms changed .
