Metallica Stage Accident In Edmonton 2012 

Imagine going to a Metallica concert to find out you were in a movie

Lars: NEVER STOP DRUMS! NEVER STOP DRUMS! Some dude in the sky: * falls * Lars: Wow! NEVER STOP DRUMS

I remember being at that show and thinking it was all real. Until the dummy fell. That was an awesome show

I love the fact that James ask "Stop" but Lars still goes on to play drums.

3:15 RIP headphone users

Lets have a lifetime of silence for my ears R.I.P ear 99-15

This is not a accident. This is done for a Metallica movie

this was the used in Through the Never, it was part of the movie

People wondering if it was a fake... Of course it was. Does this really look like a real accident?

Such a shame that "Hit the Lights!" Went unappreciated and unnoticed

I remember them doing this in '96. Scared the shit out of 9 year old me! 😂

2:41 wow, he is falling in slow motion... 100% real

Lol james shouldn't be joking about stage accidents

You can't tell the difference between a stage accident and something that's part of the show?

>guys shoulder slowly hits the ground >guy instantly goes limp totally legit.

Metallica and the jokes with fire moth into the flame Fuel Fight fire with fire And more

It wasn't for the movie. This was just part of the show for that tour. I saw it myself in Toronto. Was a great show, and happened nearly identical to this one. Freaked me out too at the time cuz I had no clue what was planned. I quickly realized it was just part of the show.

Dave, "Kill em all" Was the album name, not in real life. Oh gotta love metallica and their staged accidents

“Alright Robert I’ll say it one last time, do not move stand right here”

This is what they do when they don't want to finish the song.

fight fire with fire

Part of the show but fucking crazy

Ooooo! So that is what it was, I was hearing this Spotify thinking somebody died or some shit hahaha

I love how lars just slowly stops drumming XD

For what you came here is at 2:20 Thumbs up pls

2:23 Well that’s just giving a whole new meaning to “pants on fire!”

This was for the Through the never movie.

saw the show in vancouver. yes, the same thing happened. yes we werent sure at the time if it was real or fake. although i thought if it were faked then it would have been more dramatic. we couldnt see anyone fall down like you could here next to the stage. but the big clue is the next song played was "Hit the lights" which i thought was pretty ironic. awesome show like usual from these guys. easily the biggest stage and prop performance ive evern seen. cant wait for the DVD. see em live !!

I was lucky enough to have seen this. I guess they play a few different accoustic tracks when they come back out but I heard Creeping Death and it was effin amazing.

You could tell it was setup before the truss sections started falling, but when you see them flexing and bending like aluminum doesn't do you know it's a gag ;).

I love how the stage just starts to fall while Lars doesn't stop druming.

Guess you could say it was "staged" ...........I'm sorry il end it all now

LOL. "Let's just crouch over this vent looking thing and see what happens..." "Shit, my ass is on fire." Still fucking love the pranks!

this was for the filming of Through the Never. so can you please change the Title of this to something like "Through the Never Live Concert" or "Real Concert for Through the Never Film". something like that. thank you. this title is misleading and false.

thanks my friend !

Didnt they do this for that one metallica movie?

In fact, this is a part of film Through the Never. :) There is no real accident :)

For kids who never had a chance to see it originally. Imagine, that was sixteen years ago. Many kids there were way to young to see it live. Some were not born yet...

Why do they do this?

I know the guy on fire looked fishy.

That was supposed to happen, it is not real. They do it in every concert, duh.

It's not Accident ! its just part of the SHOW.

Nice production value!

yeah i was at the concert everything was planned for the big accident, it was all just part of the stage show, freakin' awesome concert

When those metal things fell down they were bending so it was just foam

Is the tuning changed to E in this video or they are playing in E ?

It's a part of Metallica concerts since late 80's. You can see this in Live Shit 89 Seattle and Cunning Stunts 97.

Just like 96:) First time I saw the best band in the world!

Just like Cunning Stunts...

Were they playing in E Tuning for this concert

they used to blow up the stage during the And Justice for All tour...this seems to have taken it to a whole new level

this is a set up for Through The Never

on the cunning stunts looked a little more real , freak the shit out of me thought it was real especially on a 7.1 surround

If you havn't notived.. the truss that has fallen was rubber also was the movers that came down with it ;)

Was this part of the filming

something tells me this was all a setup and not real i mean come n guys do you think a guy would be that stupid as to sit on the pyro and i have seen this stunt from tait towers

2:23 was the guy catching on fire supposed to be part of the act?

SOOO where was the accident?

still cant believe i went to this

That's why they call it "bringing the house down".

Cool stunt, but it was obviously a stunt. 1. The guy that fell from the truss onto the stage wouldn't fall to the stage, his safety line would have caught him. 2. People on fire don't jog to put out the flames. 3. The band/techs wouldn't need to use the mic on the stage, the stage manager's headset can do that. 4. A smart tech wouldn't crouch directly over a hole in the stage that smoke is coming out of. 5. A truss doesn't fall apart like that, all of it would have crushed everyone on stage and wouldn't be falling apart and falling piece by piece. But it was pretty cool and I give them props for how well the fire looked on the light tower that the guy was climbing on.

What a horrible tragedy! They still play Enter Sandman!! :'(

They did this the whole tour that year. They also did this during the Load tour back in 97.

Stop drop and roll....

fue parte del espectaculo de metalica señores

This isn't an accident, this is the filming of their movie "Through The Never"

What's the purpouse to cause panic in a crowded arena full of kids?

This is a gas when you are there live and others don't have a clue what's going on. It equals a large scale practical joke. Some people just have ZERO fun in their bones and take shit too seriously. METALLICA RULES!!!

Its a shame that people need staged show,s instesd of just listening to the Band!!

During the Injustice For All Tour part of the lighting rig was made to look like there was a malfunction disconnecting and swinging around.

me expliquem oq rolou???

XD, foam structures!

Guess when a band goes downhill they need a gimmick for attention. The downhill slide started with their first music video. Then you have Lars bitching about pirating music. Oh the mighty have fallen. At least Slayer is worth listening to.

Was this for through the never by any chance ??

They did this aswell on the Poor Touring Me tour of 1996 - 1997.

this was for Through the never right?

If nobody hasn't seen it, you should see their Through The Never movie. It explains why this happens.

I can't see the video probably it's because m under 18 can somebody explain

Also notice how the guy who fell from the light has a harness with cord on?

This consert, exepting the accident, appeared in the movie “Metallica through the never” from 2013.

whty is sandman so fast, metallica is double parked?

what exactly happened there

You also realize that this was also taken for Metallica: Through The Never

Didn't they do something just like this on the load or reload tour?

TAIT STAGES buildt this, i saw the video and its incredible :) I love going to METALLICA shows, YOu never get disapointed :) Im going this year in Oslo,and im bringing a friend of mine. She is awesome as hell, this will be her first METALLICA concert :)

been doing this since load tour, i was at this concert and Load. Same thing. Best concert ever was this one!

Was at these two shows, awesome

man.. that guy that fell slowly with a cable attached was god damned terrifying :P

Imagine being the person to present this idea to James after he was burned in 92.

This was part of the movie they were filming

wasn't that part if there movie

Saw something similar to this on the load tour. I didn't really know what was going on until the guy ran across the stage on fire and stuff started sparking. They turned the house lights on and brought in the emt to get the guy off the stage. Didn't realize it was fake until they keep playing using small light bulbs suspended from the ceiling.

OMG, just watched this, high AF and didn't know what to think!! Was excited to see it was in Edmonton, my home town and puzzled as to why the stage was falling apart and a guy on fire. Thought it was real lol

How is this inappropriate?

I know smarty. They combined all their sets into one for the movie. This little show was from Cunning Stunts. Lady justice falling down, from ...And Justice for All Tour.

I paused the video at 3.13 mins after I read the comments.. Thanks lol

It was a part of that show man

the size of the moving heads are crazy

Wasn't this in they're film through the never?

OMG is he / she ok ??
