Metallica: St. Anger (Official Music Video) 

Inmates: where is Jason Lars (stops playing drums): he FOCKIN LEFT the band.

Fun fact: Metallica visits their fans who downloaded their music on Napster

You know it’s St. Anger when the drums are louder than the other instruments.

Lars is the master of tempo changes. The only problem is he doesn't tell his bandmates

that solo

James: Yeah! Kirk: Wah! Rob: Crabwalks Lars: (hits drums violently) PENG PENG PENG PENG

This album helped me get through some of the darkest times in my life. Thank you Metallica.

I hate it when people say this album is terrible. Admittedly not their best, but is probably some of the most relatable feelings of anger and pain I've ever experienced from an album. This album has been in my life for a long time and I'm proud to say that I've needed it as much as metallica needed to make it. It has been a real inspiration to how I try to write music, meaning I don't give a fuck if people like it or not because it's for me and to stay true to emotions that I may be feeling at the time, either good or bad emotions. I'm honestly willing to say it's taught me how to deal with the emotions of being a man and dealing with death and hate, addiction and love. Love you guys forever. Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet. 🙌

Thank You Metallica for this song, it helped me through my darkest times, it helped me avoid prison, made me think, helped me not let my anger take control over my soul and being. God Bless.

Prison guards: Metallica is gonna play for you guys today! Inmates: Sweet! *metallica arrives* Inmates: ok where the hell is Jason

This song helped me through depression. When it came out, I heard it at least 10 times a day and tried to learn it on guitar. I pushed the hell out of my right hand until I got it right. And it was AWESOME when I played it loud in the same tempo. I don't care what people say, this is one of the best songs of Metallica because it's loud, fast, heavy, and powerful at the same time. And best of all, IT HAS A MESSAGE that you can feel identified with.

This is one of the best of Metallica songs. Most people are just not ready for pain and messages portrayed in it.

St. Snare Snaretic St. Snare Some Kind of Snare Dirty Snare Invisible Snare My Snare Snare Me Again Sweet Snare The Unnamed Snare Snarefy All Within My Snare

99.999% of that crowd just wanted to hear Master of Puppets

The whole St Anger album is fucking badass, great headbanging music. Best part of the album is that it's not a traditional Metallica album that most fans/critic's expected, it aggressively hits you from the first track to the last.

i think this track is amazing. The "SET IT FREE!!!!" moment is one of the coolest raw wild blast of anger i ever heard on a record. It's pure noise metal for few seconds! They just nailed it 100% and just for that the record should be raised and appreciated the way it should be, with respect.

Imagine being in prison, get told Metallica is going to play for you, then its St. anger.

Fun fact: Slipknot uses Lar’s St. Anger snare for the song Duality

This is one of my favorite metallica jams

the most underrated masterpiece.

When asked about their most difficult part of their stay in San Quentin, all the inmates responded: "Listening to Lars' snare drum"

If you go to the beginning, Lars counts "1, 2, 3, 4" in Danish. Pretty cool.

St. Anger might not be the album the fans wanted, but its an album Metallica needed at the time. This song is awesome

20 years, and I still listen to it like it was yesterday in my freshman year

I enjoy this album, especially when artists are not afraid to be creative.

Reasons to like the snare: - it's fucking art; - my feelings are oversnare.

Maybe in the streaming era this album wouldn't have lasted on my playlist. But back then I bought it and listened to it until CD was worn out. Miss those days anyway!

I didn’t realize as a 7 year old being depressed (or angry) that a LOT of people had the same love and energy from this album. I’m glad to see it’s helped lots of people and honestly it’s A FIRE ASS ALBUM regardless of everything we’ve gone through. There’s a Documentary on this album PLEASE watch it it’s so good and worth the time and love they put into this album!

17 years have passed. This song still gets hated and it still kicks ass.

Too bad metallica didn't do this in the 80s, imagine a drunk james hetfield with a room full of dangerous criminals

A song about anger that when I hear cools me down. All hail St. Anger!

Its weird to think most man filmed in this music video still behind bars and never saw this music video

This is such a System Of A Down influenced song. I can totally hear these guys playing and Serj singing it while listening to it!

Prison guards: guys, metallica will play for you today Prisoners: cool *metallica arrives* Prisoners since 1981: where the fuck is Dave Mustaine and Ron McGowney

The face of the guy at 2:45 expresses exactly how to feel about this song.

This song has aged extremely well! Sounds better as time goes on

Fun fact: all the prision inmates were there for downloading iligal music from Napster

I like the snare drum :)

The more people that hate this album. The better this album is

I love this song, no matter what many people say about the drums and the lack of solos. It is Just great the way it is.

I don't get why people don't like snare drums here. It gives it such a dirty, raw sound. To me it's perfect.

I don’t know, why people don’t like this album. I like that. This drums, this vibe.. That’s so good!

I don’t care about the snare sound. It doesn’t bother me. This entire album is really good in ny opinion. Hate me. However, a edit of this and any song off of St. Anger with a guitar solo would be cool. They already exist, but doesn’t matter if they’re there or not to me. It would be fun though.

There's just so much emotion in Hetfield's voice (and this album overall) especially when he starts singing "St. Anger 'round my neck..." Great video too

Fans can be so demanding sometimes. They don't want their fav band to move on and express their current emotions, or explore new genres and sound, they want them to stay the same as they were in their old album(s) (perhaps one album the fan particularly likes). The band isn't allowed to move on, they have to stay in their "Master of Puppets" sound and never move on. I like this album. It was refreshing.

20 years old this Album is Bloody hell where time gone

R.I.P. Snare , never forget

I think people lose sight of the snare's purpose in this album. The album is about anger and frustration, that snare makes you uncomfortable on purpose (like a comedian will make people uncomfortable before a punch line to make the laughter an escape thus amplifying the joke). They want you to get to a dark angry place with no sensibility and that snare is there to make the song sound more raw, it's there to antagonize you so you transport yourself to that place. And then the lyrics and riffs are the escape. It's an album that is meant to be heard while you jump around like a maniac screaming, not to be heard while you sit still and pick it apart. It's the musical equivalent of someone getting in your face until you explode in fury.

Even considering the bad snare, this is the best song on the album

PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG! PANG!

Best ever quality HD-remaster on my channel )

Man when I was 12 years old and this was on MTV, I thought it was just the coolest, most hardcore and intimidating thing ever

I remember it was 2003...20 years ago! And I heard it for the first time. Fallen in love! Metallica are an evergreen, timeless, phenomenal band.

If there ever was an album in the history of history that begs to be remixed then it's St. Anger.

Am i the only to love St anger in it’s totality ?

[Verse] Saint Anger 'round my neck Saint Anger 'round my neck He never gets respect Saint Anger 'round my neck [Pre-Chorus] (You flush it out, you flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck (You flush it out, you flush it out) He never gets respect (You flush it out, you flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck (You flush it out, you flush it out) He never gets respect [Chorus] Fuck it all and no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go free Fuck it all and fucking no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets Medallion noose, I hang myself, Saint Anger 'round my neck [Post-Chorus] I feel my world shake like an earthquake Hard to see clear, is it me, is it fear?

This and battery are my two favorite songs by Metallica

This is my favourite Metallica song, it’s so raw and intense!

I love Kirk's guitar solo in this song. He didn't use a wah pedal this time, and the results were amazing.

St. Snare never gets respect.

My happy years as a teenager.....Metallica's music was always there.

My favorite thing about metallica is James' voice, it's the best I've heard in metal

i don't know what people think about this song .. but to me it sounds awesome ..

I got a big surprise with the news of James's rehabilitation. As a entire life Metallica's fan, I say: Be strong, Papa Het

At the time I was sorely disappointed with this album, not lying there. But it has gotten so much better with age and I am truly enjoying this album more than ever these days. I just can't enough of the raw sound.

Happy 2024 to everyone!!! May the music of memory always be with us!!!

4:42 dat scream is brutal

I love how the biggest haters of Metallica are their own fans.

I'm almost sure they had a backup version of it without the pan. And it's a good thing it got lost forever. This album is one of those pieces of art where if you even dial something down 1% - it doesn't work anymore. Just perfection. Not joking.

I love James's voice...like damn

When you finally get entertainment.... And it's Lars and this snare.

I think the snare gives it an even more angry and pissed off feeling. It fits perfectly with the album, but i wouldn't like that same snare on any other album.

I love this garage sound. 😀

I don't care what anyone says. That main riff to me is one of the heaviest riffs that Metallica has written. And I love it. Metallica family for life 🤘

St. Anger never gets respect. :(

I feel like this album is really underrated. I love it.

This song is a masterpiece of music.

This song rocks and I've been a huge fan since the 80s when I was a little kid.

Everyone hates this song.... but it has over 12 million views.... what's the logic in that?

Bob Rock: “How much snare drum do you want?” Lars: “All of it”

You love this album only when you relate to it. I'm really grateful to Metallica, especially to James Hetfield for it. Listening to an aggressive album in your hardest times and finding so many relatable lyrics on it makes feel different...

Say what you will about the album, but this one stands the time, classic Metallica song!

The way everyone feels about this song is the way they were feeling toward each other when they created it. There is real conviction in every snare of this song.

I actually really like the St Anger album, I think it sounds really raw and primal.

I don't give a flying fuck about what y'all say. THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE

Happy 20th birthday to St Anger!

The snare sounds awesome idk why are people complaining.

I have to admit it was because of this album I started to get into Metallica. I had already listened to other songs but never looked in to them. So for me I am grateful to have this album, because now I have Metallica in my life. And what would I do without master of puppets.

James was 39 yrs old when this came out im 39 now and i understand this whole fucking album now. Metallica 4 life

Its nice to know that they took the edge out of the snare in this song. A shame they didnt do that from the begining. This couldve been a original Metalli album.

I really like St Anger. A true Metallica fan must understand why it sounds like that. And it sounds good.

I figured out why the video was shot at a prison. Because it's a crime to make a snare sound like that

this is my favorite Metallica song cause I thing the "ping ping ping" brings character to the song

You may like this or not, but this is the most badass video ever made

a fucking masterpiece Metallica. my favorite song on the album. it's both melodic and heavy and it's perfect. don't care what others say about the st.anger album,the entire album is a masterpiece, especially this song

2023 and I still can't listen to this song without playing it ten times in a row. It stirs up so much emotion that needs to be dealt with. This album is as much therapy for us as it was for Metallica.

its amazing what fans do to see their favorite band live.

Son: we need drums Mom: but we have drums at home Drums at home:

The most underrated song of all time

Nothing explains St. Anger better than the documentary, 'Some Kind of Monster.' The film follows the band as it deals with the departure of Newsted, the addition of Rock on bass, the auditioning of new bassists, Hetfield going to rehab (and the other members dealing with this) and the overall, collaborative writing process in general. Basically, 'Some Kind of Monster' explains why 'St. Anger' is what 'St. Anger' is. Fans cannot simply listen to the album and fully understand what Metallica created. To gain that perspective, listen to the album, watch the documentary...and then listen to the album again. It will open your eyes and ears to things you didn't know existed on 'St. Anger.
