Metallica & San Francisco Symphony: For Whom the Bell Tolls (Live) 

1:14 When you rock the xylophone so hard you got a fist bump from a metal God.

The moment James and the Xylophone player fistbump is SO EPIC!!!

3:08 that's the coolest shit I've ever seen.

1:00 "So what role do you play in the orchestra?" "Oh, you know, shred xylophone."

I love how Rob dressed like he was going to a symphony, James dressed like he was going to his kid's band recital, and Kirk looks like he's meeting them both at the bar after

James watching xylophonists killing it at 0:59 and recognizing their efforts at 1:14 🤘🏾

1:02 Let's take a moment to appreciate the ability of those men

2:22 How he said "Still alive!" with such tone and pointed to himself, like he wanted to express how the band is still there and rocking after all they've been through

James going over to the xylophone-players and watching them rip that intro-madness and then giving them a fistbump might be my favourite part ever.

Never thought I'd see someone shred on a xylophone until now

3:09 will always give me chills

Face of James at 2:40. "Damn that was pretty decent"

"Playing classical music must be relaxing" Orchestra players: 1:02

Reminder: August 28th the full S&M2 comes out

Robert Trujillo performing one of the best bass solos of all times, and his first apearance on video is a 42 seconds, IMEDIATELY after finish the solo...

Holy shit! anybody else notice Robert is using Cliff's Aria bass?

James: "Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time he will..." Symphony: Everyone looks up nervously.

The shot at 3:35 is like the album cover of the first S&M

Reason why I love Kirk: 3:04 just look how he is giving subtitles for the deaf and playing guitar at the same time.

The 792 people who thumbed down are deaf and brain dead. This is an absolute MASTERPIECE.

Kirks' ability of switching guitars during the song without noticing sound-wise is incredible.

So the whole bass intro we see Kirk and James jumping around but no Robert....

I'm a classical musician and was never a fan of metal but when I heard this, it instantly has become a favorite! I never knew an orchestra and a metal band playing music would fit so perfectly together, considering how different these genres are. I'm glad I discovered this. :)

Hands down the most famous bass into ever and they show the guitar players

James - "Hey Lars..." Lars - "Yeah?" James - "See the xylophone players?" Lars - "Yeah." James - "Do that." Lars - Slams Door!!!!!!!

1:02 These guys on the xylophone, I will never forget 😆 Even if I work in fast food one day, I will remember these musicians 🥰

0:56 i love when the conductor starts jumping

They should show Rob during intro.

Only Metallica would be this fawkin cool to constantly give their fans FREE STUFF! 🤘😎🤘

The strings at 0:55 are incredible.

nobody's talking about how Kirk started with "the mummy" then went to "purple sparkle ouija" also Papa Het with the shimmy at 2:28 :)

0:59 James and the conductor both having a moment with the xylophone players, just look at them smile, look at the xylophone players swing in sync 1:04, man that's fun. 1:13 And the fist bump at the end is so cool. Nice camera work.

I can't wait for The Unforgiven III to come out, I loved it at SM2

This concert is such a huge achievement given Lars’ timing. Incredible really.

3:09-3:11 what a great sound!

- What is it ? - FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS - Absolutly Love that moment

I can't wait to watch The Day that Never Comes on this concert

I was there both nights. Literally the most epic weekend of my life. I met Cliff Youngs Dad. I met some great friends who I am still in contact with today. I got the posters from both nights. I got some epic (expensive) merchandise. I recorded the whole show on my Samsung Galaxy. When I got home I made them into tracks and burned them onto CD so I could listen in my truck for the full year I waited for the official album to drop. I took my then 18 year old son with me on the trip to SF and he had the time of his life. so rad!

0:55 when the riff starts with this genius strings arrangement and everyone including the conductor is going nuts... Gives me chills every time

YASS!! ALSO CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OUTLAW TORN

This was my friend Gary's favorite song. He played it in his stereo that was worth more then the car it was paired with. Gary was a Metallica fan thru and thru. He was brutally murdered along with his fiance in their bed after a party some time ago. Could I ask for some of these bells to toll in his memory. I miss you Gary!

It's just amazing to see how a bunch of kids from California with a dream got together in a garage, banged out some tunes, and ultimately launched themselves into music infamy. Absolutely unbelievable. Keep bashing fellas!

1:09 I literally always look for Roberts warrior dance every time I watch this song in videos. just amazing

Metal and orchestral, two things I never thought would mix so beautifully.

So when Lars said “same time next year” at the end of S&M he really meant twenty years later.

Cliff Burton was a musical God. He was too good for this Earth.

R.I.P. Michael Kamen, this orchestra arrangement is pure gold!

Robert in a suit. I've seen everything. I can die now.

Rob is not a guest bass player. Next time show him more!

Who's having more fun? The band and the orchestra, or the audience? This is so great.

that violinist's "i secretly love metal" smile at 1:09

Outro: Kirk’s solo is like the lament of the soldier who has killed many, while the sounds of the orchestra represent the indifference of the battlefield...

Wheres rob on intro?

So thank you in advance, Metallica, for doing this in 17 more years. 'preciate ya, thanks.

Every tike you hear a bell ring a angel gets his wings! And every one says ? Amen ! Amen! Love u guys

I can't wait for the new live album

At 1:32 it's Phil Anselmo in the background. Very cool 🤘

Metallica and San Francisco symphony world tour 2022, People Need You .😎💗

I love this whole song but I could listen to the first 1:17 for the rest of my life non stop!

Man, James sounds absolutely incredible here. It may have taken almost 30 years but his grit that was in the first 5 albums is finally returning. It was somewhat present on Hardwired but he seriously sounds the best he has been since the Black Album.

Bang up job there by the video editor: despite going split-screen during the intro, they didn't bother to include any shots of the bassist playing the iconic bass part...

We fans just say how much metallica rocked, but we also agree that the orchestra was on point. And they really enjoyed making this work of art. Love for everyone involved. From the low electrician to James. Damn... WITHOUT ANY OF YOU THIS WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE. :) Thank you all.

James' voice in the 2nd half of this song is out of this world.

I hope you're seeing this in heaven, Cliff!

Orchestra leader is having the time of his life!!!!! Love it!!

2:22 Nobody: Lars: TATATATATATATA

3:10 The chills... I'm trapped under ice

2:02 brutal t-shirts

This must be the #1 song when Metallica selects the songs for their concerts.

James' vocals on this🔥

Best part ever: The xylophone players, and James smiling with his fist 🤘🏻🤘🏻 LA PUTA MADRE!!!!!

Anyone love how loud Rob is in the mix now?

Lyrics Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time he will Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery Hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls

100s of years from now this version of the song will be played, and mankind shall reborn on planet earth

During the S&M albums it always looks like everyone is having a great time. Love it.

That's probably the most epic performance of this song ever

0:59 - When Het notices the epic xylophone skills... and the ensuing fistbump! Love it!

The way James draws out “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is so bad ass. Adds a nice syncopation to the chorus

Seriously. Watching this , it feels like Hetfeild & co always have made music that could easily be fitted with an symphony orchestra. They should make a whole album with SF.

I love how Metallica is the only band that I love that gives their fans this much free stuff! It’s so amazing

1:09 I love how Kirk always chases Rob during this part

"take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will" - James Hetfield

We need this stuff in life again. Jesus Christ this gave me chills it also brought a tear to my eye watching people enjoy themselves

Wow, James' voice is far better than the original s&m. Way more gritty..

James' reaction to the crowd singing after him was awesome 2:41

Metallica+ Symphony = Perfection

James' voice is amazing! And I knew about the break in "it's the last time you will" but again, my heart stopped together! Fantastic!

1:02 Dude was straight working the xylophone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Badass!

3:03 epic and trailer moment

This is it the best of the world Metallica and a symphony

When I see this band, I think "what an incredibile ride they must have had!"

- Which Metallica member will you show more often? - Yes!

Cliff is shedding a tear of happiness in heaven

Getting the crowd to sing the chorus - that's not just creating a great live music experience. It's great therapy. One of the greatest songs ever written. Long live the mighty Metallica.

You know when I was younger, I discovered this album organically. I was in a local shop, and saw this on cassette. $6. Never looked back, and still amazing they came back and did it again. Metallica, forever.

James fist bumped the dude. What a legend!🤘🏻

Cliff: Das put a smile on my face

Symphony of destruction 😍

You know you at the top of your game when you can mix your music with classical instruments and BOOM 💥🤯 Magic 🪄✨ Queen reached this level also 👍💯

I went to go see this at the Marq-E in Houston it was a packed theater and when they started the concert with 'The Call of Ktulu' I instinctively thought 'OK, they're gonna use this to lead in to Master of Puppets like the original S&M.' when they transitioned into Bells my eyes lit up and that whole show I was headbanging in my seat, it was a great experience and I can't wait for next week when it comes out. Long live Metallica.
