Metallica: Ride the Lightning (Montreal, Canada - August 13, 2023) 

There is only a handful or so people that can say that. Metallica is a group can say that. They can go across the world and do this

WHERE'S RIDE THE LIGHTNING?

They’ve played it a lot the past decade

@@Dylanisa_BasketCaseeverytime I hear ride the lightning I can hear Kirk saying WHO DIDN’T VOTE FOR RIDE THE LIGHTNING?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW!!

@@goldenwolf8081fr, I can also hear him saying "fckin st anger" "fckin unforgiven 2"

​@@NinoRockStari said the same thing lol

Whats wrong with him ?

What does that mean?

​@@kamynsk3263COVID-19

Yeah, Papa Het will

@@kamynsk3263He got COVID

Okay. Please. I beg you to listen to it with headphones on or something. I LOVE Metallica, every album except lulu. But come on. It’s so mistake ridden, yes I know it’s live it’s not supposed to be perfect but it’s just hard to listen to when you know what he USED to be able to sound like. This isn’t it. Nowhere close. One of the worst renditions of this solo I’ve heard and this is coming from a die hard metallica fan. Someone who’s not going to ever stop listening to them despite their recent shortcomings live.

​@@hughjoelcock7145Lulu doesn't really count as a Metallica album

​@@hughjoelcock7145I don't know how true it is..but supposedly he's been getting arthritis, I'm not trying to defend something , I'm not sjre how much it effects guitar playing

@@hughjoelcock7145 the version from cologne in June 2019 is near perfect. the solo in this one wasnt too bad but surely wasnt one of his best performances either

​@hughjoelcock7145 lmao fuck outta here. I can find tons more examples of Kirk playing this solo sub-par for whatever reason may be. This here though is great. You want studio perfect solos, listen to the album. Hate people like you that demand it to be studio quality. What you get live is unique everytime. Be thankful.

kirk's masterpiece

Amen! It just keeps going - so many stages. It's why this is my favorite Metallica song.

Metallica inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...

It is one of the best. Not just from the solo but the nusic underneath it too. No better way to describe it then the word "epic"

@@namantherockstar bro that will never work.... xD

Wrought with mistakes. If you mean it WAS incredible once upon a time, you’re correct.

Yeah, there were quite a few mistakes. Not that it bothers me

@@rampager1990 no because the rhythm section is always so solid. Save Lars sometimes but he’s serviceable.

@@hughjoelcock7145 your better of course. As you say was incredible in a studio live is real its better Dik!

@@MickDoolan are you like, drunk or something? Come back to me when you can form a thought comprehensively. I don’t play guitar, but fuck me for having ears I guess.

I love rob but Jason was better at back up vocals

@@nicholasschmidt6835 you couldn't just resist right?get over it. jason left the band 22 years ago. his period was great. i love the guy. but stop comparing

Goddamn. I love this song.

thank's it's one of my fav tracks and solos ♥

I prefer 2:06

That wah accent at the middle was glorious

I felt THAT agaain!! This moment is SO EPIC. James screaming. Follow mee.. HEY!! HEY! and the crowd supporting Like the old times... and Kirk"s solo..!! OMG. i went back to the 80"s for few minutes. LOL

Cliff Burton reincarnated there too

5:45-5:47

how old are u bro

@@shred9475LMFAO

Nostalgia is not cool. Why not appreciate them as they are now? Evolve!

​@@AvalaraeonI can see your point, but also it's good to appreciate the stuff that happened in the past.

Hell yea!!!😂

Same 🤚🏻

One of my favorites too

Whaooo 😂😂😂 his backing vocals are ever improving

Caught that moment too. When I seen that my first thought was "Lars and Kirk must still feel 16 inside.. " The Smile from James as the double kick let's rip... aw man. I love Metallica.

Yea, been a while since I heard this track. This particular section reminds me so much of motorhead. Glad they're still doing it!

I’d always do that to my cousin whenever we jam 🤣

I remember people saying Metallica sold out when they released it. They’ve been called sell outs every album after Kill ‘Em All

​@@prodigalbrockI'm pretty sure they were called sellouts after the Load era.

I use to say that success is a disease only in the Metal world...for a bunch of people at least! Sell out means fucking nothing, stay in your garage, no crowd, nothing and there's no problem! You don't like an album, don't listen to it as simple as that!

@sebastienfayemendie2514 I agree! I have favorite songs from every Metallica album except Lulu.

@@michaelf.bender3718 Lulu ?. Whats that ?. Never ever heard of it 🙈🙉

Ey he's 72 that's a good reason to listen to the new album 😅 in his case it's still 72 seasons but they're all summers! If I'm getting to 72 I'll do it but before that I'm gonna listen to summer of 69 😂

72 @m72. Pretty cool😊

They really stepped it up lately and in the other two are always incredible

It's cuase of his voice

Love Metallica but saying they are the best rock band on Earth today is a bit shortsighted and narrowminded. There are plenty of great rock bands out there performing at or above Metallica's level.

You might want to Listen to Tool! 😃

I agree let’s end mediocre music bad music….

​@@julianhemken6300out of all the bands you could have named to compete with Metallica you chose tool 🤣

​@@Phil-ro9gi😂😂

It’s so silly when people say he’s not a good guitarist

The harmonic intro / outro and Kirk's solo 100% carries this song. The riffs groove, but they're not mind-blowing.

Hi I totally agree the performance and camera work are bang on and it all delivers something really special here amazing 👍

True. I discovered this album around the same time as you. I could understand why the albums Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All had the name of these songs, for those were two killer songs you couldn't pass by while listening the albums for the first time. But I first thought the Rid the Lightning album should have been called "For Whom the Bell Tolls" or "Creeping Death" or even "Fight Fire With Fire", for all those songs impressed me so much more than the RTL song. When I got over 15 relistening of the album, I started to figure out how powerful were many of the songs I had actually skipped in the first place (Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, The Call of Ktulu, Trapped Under Ice)

I was in Hamburg and had someone next to me, holding his cell phone for both entire nights. Here you can see people in the snake pit with cameras. I can't understand paying 700 Dollar/Euro and more just for failing to hold a phone straight for 4 hours and getting terrible sound on top of it, instead of really experiencing the concert. I took a few photos before the concert of the crowd and of the video towers, and then I didn't touch my phone until 15 minutes after because the crowd was still huge. Okay, was my first Metallica gig, maybe it's different after 30-40 or so, but still ... can't imagine getting to that point. Glad you had a good night.

​@@FriedrichHerschelheyi always wanted to ask question from the audience as you were there have you notice the difference btw there previous audience and now I mean in 2009 or something people would go nuts in the pit and I feel now you can't feel the same energy from the audience now is that true as you were the part of that audience??

Same. I might have 7 minutes of video from both nights, if that. I was too busy rocking out.

Hell. Yea. That song was one I really related to after that album came out; think I had just turned 13. So many underrated/underappreciated songs on that album.

@@cbrindle91 Absolutely! Same here!

I can't see that happening

@@darrenschofield9595 They already performed quite a few unexpected classics this tour

They played Dirty Window at this show in MTL my buddy and I couldn't believe it it was EPIC!!!@@thomasvie7299

His favorite song to play is is leper messiah

Should have heard it on Fade To Black and Lux Eterna, my chest felt like someone had given me CPR

Here come the nerds saying "it was triggered" or "playback" 🤓

@adityahariharan581 lol yep, always posted by someone who wasn't there either. Haters gonna hate. Real fans buy tickets and go get their faces blown off by awesomeness.

@@Pablo-xf3ri I was in Theatres for the Texas one. Those Double-Bass were thunderous, pure eargasm.

I agree 100%! Every rock press article on their best albums always puts Puppets at #1, but they’re all wrong. Lightning is #1. I even love Escape!

up there with master for the 1st spot

The fact I’m wearing the shirt too

THE best album

​@@mickmarsbar81James hates Escape
