Metallica: The Call of Ktulu (Hollywood, FL - November 6, 2022) 

Their chemistry is amazing!

It's great to see the band learn from their mistakes with Jason and treat Rob like an actual member.

@@jjtheenton that's what I was thinking. I couldn't have said it better myself

@@jjtheenton Lol Robs egoless and 5 times the Bass player Jason was also. Respect is earned.

@@MetaliCanuck I prefer 5times Jason than Rob as Metallica bassist, Rob is god, but Jason was Satan, his presence and charisma was unmatchable.

I almost felt like he had been watching Jason.

Also Robs hair is beautiful.

Lars' drumming faces too

Are we not gonna talk about kirks solo faces ? 😂

He’s super intense. I love it!

Well said.

*Cliff Legend*

Cliff was wah-ing the guitar before Kirk even got his, if i'm not wrong! Some time before Cliff even was in the Metallica

@@yobrethren Yes, if I'm not mistaken he already used a wah pedal with his Rickenbacker bass when he played with Agents of Misfortunes, that is even before joining Trauma.

@@yobrethren He did, but he didn't use it the way he does now.

That simple gesture expresses his huge confidence in Robert And for good reason! Robert is a beast on bass.

Call of Ktulu (*especially* the original) is a bass solo, it's just that the bass is criminally low in the mix.

@@settratheimperishable4093 along with the fuzz pedal too

up until now I did not know even know there was a boss solo in this song...

the bass volume was almost inaudible. This problem is not new, they need to improve it, because Trujillo's bass deserves to be heard.

Yes indeed. It was my first Metallica record. I was just an 11-year-old kid back then, but this record still kick ass!

Ride the lightnig....or don't know that album 😂

I feel like it’s my favourite album of them all. It’s an absolute belter. 👌🏻

@@MrWeAllAreOne I think everyone here knows what the album or record or whatever you say are. Ride The Lightnig which Jörg already wrote!

The first 4 Albums will always my favorite.. I truly don't believe Metallica will ever attempt to go backwards from how they started off. If they ever wanted to consider topping the first 4. They only needed to call one person back in the studio. Never happened that I know of. And I don't mean Jason.

He's been in for 20 years now??? Jesus Christ I had no idea. Since St Anger right? Wow time really flies

@@TheHulksMistress я сам офигел!))

19 years*

Dude crushes the bass. I was just talking about how long he has been in Metallica a few days ago and I was still thinking it has been a short time. But damn 20 years. Still seems like the new guy. I remember watching the video when they offered him the job and wrote him a check for $1mil.

Rob’s is perfectly in synch and is truly Metallica’s anchor…

Yessir

Been crushing since the Suicidal Tendencies days!

@@MrWoodyBalto Guy is such a savage. I love they gave him the stage… Cthulu Beckons 🐙

he seeked and destroyed it like nothing else mattered.

arpeg with pick is very hard especially for a downpicker

TBH, those were a bit too many mistakes to my taste. Still awesome performance. BTW, another small mistake by Kirk at 4:25. XD

age can't lie. it is such a grateful thing they can still play with such precision regarding their age.

@@alobpreis well, then again, Metallica might be known for many things but being especially talented isn't one of those things.

@@ruma9687 beg to differ there. James is known as one of the best rhythm guitar players to ever pick up an axe. it’s just like the commenter said above, arpeg is tough no matter who you are but they are tougher for a hardcore down picker

I would like Orion

@@AMGV16 Orion from 2006 Seoul is very good

Love those wah pedal heavy bass my friend 👌

​@@AMGV16there is a very good Orion version from this tour, look it up

All the fuckin way

i personally think orion is the ultimate, but this is one of the greatest. RIP CLIFF LEE BURTON

@@g0gginsmotivations All their instrumentals are masterpieces, but especially Ktulu and Orion. Cliff's bass simply elevates them to a whole other level.

ORION.... exists

@@BasketCase420 But Call Of Ktulu also exists.

I don't know why so metal bands hate a prominent bass sound. To my ears, metal sounds better when you can clearly hear the bass. I would love a metal band that has that reggae bass sound.

@@francmittelo6731 i agree, for my personal taste, while listening metal focusing on the bass track is the funniest part

@@francmittelo6731 Because metal guitars are often tuned so low they have a bass sound.

The best ever performance (including the studio version) of CoK is Live at the lyceum from the ride the lightning deluxe set thingy. This is a bit too slow in my opinion, doesn't have the same energy, but Rob absolutely still has my respect for it.

It is not bass, it is Ktulu growling 😁

All of Metallica's bass players are different chapters in the giant book of Metallica.....Love em all......

I had the pleasure of eating pizza with Rob when he was with Suicidal. They were here in Houston opening for Queensryche in 91'. I was seventeen. I had to take the Park and Ride bus to downtown because I hade no car. The bus put me at the Summit (venue) four hours early. After thirty minutes outside the venue this van stops at the bottom of the stairs where my friends and I were sitting and Rob gets out of the van and says, "Hey you guys, you want some free pizza?" Just from that experience I can say Rob is a really great guy. I still have the cassette tape he gave me. It was a Suicidal promo tape that had three songs on it which Rob made sure all the band members signed it. Such a cool guy.

In my OPINION Robert is the best so far..dont hate me okay?

@@VlogsNiKuyang I have seen Metallica I beleive sixteen times. The only reason I would go anytime in the future to see Metallica would be to see Rob play. Don't hate me for saying that.

the one thing that's such a shame about robert is that i don't hear much of his contributions in the newer metallica songs/albums. i'll never forget that awesome video of him playing flamenco guitar and james taking inspiration from that and turning it into all nightmare long. don't get me wrong, i'll always love metallica, but compared to cliff and jason, rob is the most well rounded bassist. he's proficient in jazz (he taught his 10 year old son jaco pastorius songs for the love of god), slap funk, flamenco, and thrash metal. if i remember correctly, his only contribution to the hardwired album was the intro to man unkind's intro. alot of people complained about that song except for the intro

SAFEMOON

i ve seen it live in munich 2019....what a performance 🖤

I was at S&M2 and it was a religious experience live with the orchestra

@@madbutler6022 im sure it would have been

@@madbutler6022 I would bet I've only seen them three times

🤘🤘

keep on rockin mate 🖤 you got this

My dream is to take my son to a show too. Rock on brother!! 🤘🏻Metallica Fam got your back. Stay strong

Awesome. My son took me to my first show when I was 59. He had already been to over 50 shows by tbat time.. Metallica Family.🤘

Where did see them?

You are so Right!!!!!

How ?😅

Best metal band for me. The Beatles will always be the best to me. Sorry.

The best band a long side Iron Maiden

internet people are sports people: 'best' etc. Need their dinners on table and everything neat and tidy, just like dad did.

I cried, but because my Mom poked her head in the room and told me to get my first job at age 34 - oh the heartache.... Nice song, though.

It always gives me chills, every time

I felt like I was transported back to the early days, when I first heard the song and was blown away by Cliff on bass, and how he played like a regular guitarist, instead of holding up the song and giving it that depth as a bassist does. I had no idea at the time, that a bass could be played like that. 😄 Cliff was one of a kind and Rob did him proud. Very well done and an amazing trip down memory lane. The boys still sound so good, I haven't seen them since their earlier days in the late 80's and early 90's before i had my first son in '93 who has seen Metallica himself now, about 5-6 years ago, I raised him right & he and mom still go headbanging to our favorite shows at least once a year usually in Sept, his birthday month. We have some shows to make up for the 4 yrs he did in the Army & we didn't get to go for 2 of those 4 years he signed a contract to commit to, because of the plandemic. 😝 I'm very close to James, Lars & Kirk's ages, they have me beat only by a year or two. I started listening right before MOP dropped, during RTL which this song is from. I might have to see them 1 more time, for old times sake with my favorite concert sidekick, my oldest son. We saw Lamb Of God with KSE most recently, in Sept of '22 amazing show, they bring it every time.🤘🏻😎

You're not alone. You said my words 😢

Luckily seen it in concert twice 🙌🏻😉😁

@@ryuhayabaker Lucky you! It's an amazing song

Seen it at S&M2. Best moment ever as it's my favorite Metallica sonh

Seen it only once, Big 4 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Besides Orion, the only two songs I would take out my ear plugs for ;)

Oh and Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) of course!

Well said

Lol

Lars actually sounded good on the fills for this. Hopefully his chops are up because they’re recording a new record.

@@DEANCROSS615 at copenhell this summer i can’t remember the last time they guys played so intact lars was so on point all of then where

@@DEANCROSS615 a lot of snare use for fills. Would like to hear more tom sounds

@@DEANCROSS615 You were right!!

i can never figure out how he does it , id love to learn that fill

Yes

there is one live performance with cliff on the bass, its just audio but to me its the best one

@@RhaegarDB well yeah ik, but this one has the best tempo and best audio quality but in that performance cliff’s bass is insane, the ktulu wants to come out from that bass:))

@@tudyyy agreed lol

No way, James mucked up the start of the song a little.

i hope they release the final album soon

shred94 That will be amazing, I hope too!!!

shred94 That will be amazing, I hope too!!!

@@shred9475 Wait, their final album ever? I sure hope its just their final “for now” if thats what you meant. I get their getting old but idk if I want to say goodbye

@@shred9475 theyve never said its the final album. I mean it very well could be. But theres no reason they couldnt put out 2nor 3 more. I personally think that 2 is the number.

Esperemos pero, oyendo la nueva canción no se si eso suceda, prácticamente no se escucha el bajo

Well with the release of Screaming Suicide he's gotten at least 1 new writing credit!

Haha it's very sloppy at the start

Have you listened to the one in the lyceum theatre, 84?

🤦

They already are

They already are, yes

Еще как стынет! Они вечные!

Adevărat! Long live Metallica !!🤘🤘

Und Rammstein!!!

Pff uite un roman !!

It's on yt bro

It's all over RU-vid....do a little work and find it.

@@ironnads7975 I’m talking stems. Not re mixing the already iffy mix. Yeah it might make Cliff’s bass a little more clear but I wanna hear the isolated track

@@gooraleq a true bass boost? No. People have just remixed the already existing mix. I’m taking stems, like Orion, Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets. We have Cliff’s isolated bass for those songs, not Ktulu

@@stevenlee1075 one reason is because ktulu wasn’t in guitar hero Metallica so only Metallica has the stems

Actually over four decades of beautiful heavy music! Metallica ruled when they started and they still rule now. I love all of Metallica but James is my hero.
