Metallica: The Call of Ktulu (Munich, Germany - August 23, 2019) 

Just Magic!

This is where neo-classical metal has it's roots.

الدرمر اسطوري

Progressive rock

Each song that they play is their best, until that song becomes the best

1c3 sLy1 can’t say you’re wrong !

One word. Awesome 👍 never know a Group like these

@Grinny Only one i really don't love is Escape

@@arttuuusisalo8709 Escape is a good song nothing mindblowing but still 10 times better than anything they did past Black Album. Except for maybe The Day That Never Comes.

Facts

dave wrote this when he was younger than 20

Well, Dave technically contributed to the song as well, but yeah, I agree with you on the fact that they are talented

skinkroot he didn’t write it though he just had a few riffs in it completely different from composing it all together

@@dominicdefonseka3647 he wrote the entirity of call of ktulu . you are mistaking it with ride the lightning, he only wrote part of that song

Cliff Burton wrote the intro to For Whom the Bell Tolls when he was as 16. He played it at a talent show in High school. Everyone though he was a joke. Whoops I guess they miss judged pure genius .

Actually 5 but.....we dont talk about dave here

Donna Iwicki What no warning? No second chance?

Potato Son hahahaha

@@potatoson5138 no, go.

It's the nature of the disease

Yeah they have done several songs that way on the europe leg. I'm totally stoked. Can't wait to get to frisco

It'd be a shame if they played this again. I love it, of course, but I'd rather have Orion this time.

@@nicosimioni7363 Maybe they will do both

Watch them not put this song in "s&m" lol

Doubt it, they played it at the last one

I know! I love it!

Believe its one they are going to be playing at S&M2 in San Fran in a little over a week. I'll let you know the morning of the 9th after I attend the 9/8 show. :)

welp...I hope so, my favourite one until now it's the one for The Day That Never Comes, I never knew that if they reversed the intro for the song it will sound that majestic!

It's really beautiful....

@Mike Oxlong It's still half a step. And it's just a different key, it's not like the song is different or suddenly becomes shit if you change the key.

С х

Too far bruh... why you gotta bring cliff into this just say the man is good an leave it there fhbg

another pizza k

@@hannahmorris4187 fhbg?

Hannah Morris How is that too far?? Its litterely cliffs bass lines

Close but no. Actually it's Ktulu who appears, and he pops the bass players' huge calluses.

I saw them live two days earlier and they didn't play it :(

It’s always a good day when Metallica is played Even st anger

I've seen 3 times live in France, but never played the "Call of Ktulu" ...

metfan4l personally I thought the bass mix was a little quiet. He rocks this song tho no doubt

@@RooftopKorean917 Yeah, especially seeing as the bass is the main melodic instrument in much of this song

Suicide & Redemption please! ❤

its too bad with all the technology these days that they can't replicate cliffs bass tone

Robs bass mix In 2017 was kinda over powering.

He fits perfectly because he can play everything on bass, he is a fan of the band and most importantly, he knows that he is basically session player in biggest band in the world and his ego is perfectly fine with that. Dont bite the hand that feeds. On the other hand, I think that his presence made them to show some balls and that is one of the biggest reasons why they made great album Death Magnetic and their live performances are better and better every tour. 2000s Metallica was cringe especially James singing but since HWTSD tour they are technically at their peak. Maybe not fastest but certainly they are tighter than ever and James sounds great. Jason was much needed collateral damage.

@@dekapitatorr You are correct up until ‘On the other hand’.

@@dekapitatorr while Rob seems like a session player, hes anything but. A lot of what you said is accurate though. He has made the rest of the guys step up, but in turn, he has helped write so many of their best songs since he joined. Hes also done backup vocals on tracks like Dream No More. I feel like Jason was unfortunately more a session player the way he was treated. What happened with Jason opened their eyes and as a result Rob is treated like a fully participating member of the band

I dont need Metallica to be fast. I need Metallica to be dominant.

That why they choose rob. They realize in audition that rob play bass similar to cliff. Sorry for my broken english😅

Should've thanked Dave too.

Bekka Nelson ahhhh can you stop mentioning someone who already success with his own band. I know he wrote some part of this song🙄

România

Nah, Ktulu slaps

In my humble opinion, Ktulu is just one single step ahead from Orion, both being the ultimate thrash instrumentals

Personally I like Ktulu over Orion. Yeah Cliff didn’t get to have a Bass solo, but the roaring bass in the distance was absolutely insane.

To live is to die -> orion -> ktulu

INTRO OF DISPOSABLE HEROES ANESTHESIA....KTULU... ORION....TO LIVE IS TO DIE...

Musik Fiend..... Robert looks absolutely great and if you play bass-guitar on this level you also would look like him or maybe comical..... Kirk open his mouth when he plays his greatest solos.... that’s normal..!!!!! :(

@@christianschaller8895 good job at tacking all the fun out of the comment...

Sebastian Busuioc... cannot find any fun on the comment !!!!! Pst 🤫 better you listen the sound and bass !!! 🤘🤘🤘

@@christianschaller8895 Cliff still is so much better. Robert is no Cliff.... Cliff version is way better just saying

You know they've given him the raw studio bass tracks from Cliff and he's like, muthafucka, i gotta play this shit perfect or i can't live with myself. And then he's like "how tha fuck did he play this shit"? Cliff was Jimi Hendrix on a bass.

He was keeping the tempo lol😂

@@jfr49djd39jcuuhg well you seem surprised 😁😁😂

@@jfr49djd39jcuuhg Wow if only that was the joke

that whole fucking crowd was weak the whole concert. 90% were there to hear nothing else matters and didn't care for anything.

I cried when I heard the intro at the S&M2 show. A lifelong dream come true.

Ikr? I would too! I’d kill to listen to this or any other song from Metallica live! I’d be screaming and saying, “I love you guys, and I love you, too, Cliff!”

Most people today go to a concert because they want a cool post in social media. The bigger, the most expensive, the most sold out the better it is. Real fans are a minority on such "Events"... :-( Especially in a "rich city" like munich....

I wasn't there but I imagine this is because they reduced the volume of the crowd before uploading. I've seen quite a few metallica concerts online and the crowd wasn't so weak. It's probably because they reduced the volume while mastering so that there's emphasis on the song

Rob is always great, I mean he is the only one with james to practice, he is technically better than Jason Newsted also

They were phenomenal in Munich. As they were throughout the European Stadium Tour. Seemed like they played a lot during "resting period". Maybe did some Studio Work ?

@@FartSniffer1 Rob is the only one who actually practices (I don't think James practices much I mean he is the rhythmic player), and besides that, he's composed a riff or two, For Suicide and Redemption, amazing instrumental work as well

Ride the Lightning was my first album ever. I showed to a friend of mine. She was the daughter of our pastor, so my mother was informed quickly ...

No doubt literally

Never gets old. A hundred years from now, they will call it "classical music".

My favorite album from Metallica!!

1984 was a longggggg time ago man....idk about that

yeeeeeeeeep

DOWNPICK

Nor can I, it is a masterpiece

Neither could the band, hence the instrumentality and no lyrics

the other Lovecraft inspired song The Thing That Should Not Be is the lyrics :D

The word is masterpiece

​@@DekkarJr yes, and also all nightmare long and dream no more

Lmao... Learn do you even English?

@@Jessejezzz its a joke

Bro too, me

Gotta you English learn

@@aqib4925 get you don't the joke?... R/woooshed be gotta

OMERTA 3:16 TV this song title is kinda badass tbh

Its Cthulhu btw

I thought it Cthulhu? man the spelling is really confusing

cthulu ... awaken! from hardwired

Aku Metallica spelt it as Ktulu. Ik, it’s not how to spell it, but that’s how they done it. Can’t change it now, lol.

He was doing Vol Swells. Sounded good tho.

It's definitely one of the best. ESP guitars sound amazing with clean tones

Usually if they play this live they just have the clean part as a backing track. Interesting seeing James playing the intro live and playing it better and having it sound better than the actual studio album version. Was such a good live sound from everyone as well Kirk and Lars were sounding really good as well, Rob solid as well.

...And Justice For All Not Tuned Guitar ;)

😂

That chorus was bangin'

@@puchu_5001 ""

@@MaeJazz lmao

Hated the part where he forgot the lyrics though

Chris T It’s just a shame that his distorted tone is such garbage. Needs more fuzz and/or overdrive.

@@j0hnsturm this tone is pretty sucky but the last time they played cthulu hsi tone was amazing

@@mirkecWii which makes me wonder even more why it has gotten to the shitter so badly, since the other instruments (and even the non distorted bass) started to sound better since then.

@@guitarded55 yeah Robs bass changes sound A LOT, there was a time at the begining of the year or last year when his bass had the ugliest tone ever and since then it sounded good and now its back to shit

@@mirkecWii what's even weirder is that they're not using real amps anymore and went digital so changing the sound to whatever sounds best should be pretty easy, but I guess not.

Not the gates of haven , but anothet gate for sure 😂 🐙

Alex I was there and I went „HOLY SHIT“ 😂

@@MxEnergyGreen Me too! Holy shit!

I was there and when I heard that tape I though they were gonna tease us with kutulu and then play No leaf clover, but as soon as I heard James play the first fucking chord I flipped shit

Even I'm sitting here in Bangladesh, watching this on RU-vid and I'm like, "holy shit!" \m/

What is the S&M intro?

Im a simple man.... I see metallica i click like

me to, when i see metallica i click

You re not a simple man, you fucking rock!

Im a simple man,i get cancer,i die cause im too shy to ask for help.

@@sotirzvanidjubre4109 oof

Im so bummed i wont see that

They made a little sound correction tho

9th of October isn’t it?

Fraser Park that’s when it’s in the cinemas

Let's hope they at least Live Stream it

Classic rock!!!

joy after fucking actual drum patterns...

Totally agree 👍 unbelievable ROCK

They didn't have any words either! :P

Metal not rock

The reaction of a crowd can also sound weak because of weak micing and mixing into the final track.

You should thank Dave :)

And suicide and redemption

yes please. Orion sounds like it's both made for metal and classical, the way it's composed

and The Call of Ktulu

Suicide & redemption also

Suicide & Redemption please! ❤

They didn’t exist in 1980...

@@facelessandnameless did you really say that?

FOREVER 🤘

2040 THE BEST

I understand your want for raraties but I want to hear fade to black at s&m 2... harvester of sorrow and day that never comes too

They are definitely not playing To Live is to Die at S&M2, hope my comment is wrong though.

@@Turk_2023 Harvie would feel weird, like litterally the Heaviest E standard song ever with trumpets and harps?

@@FartSniffer1 "literally the heaviest E standard song ever" It and Leper Messiah can fight it out.

@@novaseer I can't let you say such blasphemy without any consequences

Me-ga-deth

tvojzajcek77 megadeth is stopped at the moment

I've been a Metallica fan for over 20 years now, and I've seen them live 8 times, last time this summer. That was probably the tightest I've ever seen. But even still, Rammstein is better. So, so, SO much better. Given a choice between a Rammstein concert and a Metallica concert, I'll choose Rammstein ten out of ten times.

@@tvojzajcek77 I love Megadeth and Dave. Saw em live 3 times on Rust in Peace tour and twice on So far so good tour...but they haven't done nearly as much as Metallica.

@@Jayzon666 I hear ya. It's all a matter of preference. Me personally love Metallica but will choose ManOwaR over them.

Me too!!! After Metal Militia 🤘

Lucas Hagelin I’m a huge Metallica fan, but credit where it’s due, that intro is Dave Mustaine’s.

They love us, only reason they're still up there doing this.

or when you cut an onion 🤔

@@_nounours_7208 Orion

Thing that should not be Is lovecraft too

Nice, but Lovecraft was kind of a dick, he probably would have hated all the songs, films, games and videogames inspired by his works

i'm not sure, but i probably agree with you

I'm not sure if Lovecraft is in heaven

@@lucalapaglia3941 Really? I think Lovecraft was an awesome guy. A God. More of him please.

It probably will be come S&M2

Kinda Bond-ish

Michael Kamen at the helm yeah!

@@skotty253 hopefully it does

Leonardo Micheal Kamen died like forever ago

Lars killed it here!

LARS ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB

2017's was performed tremendously though. This however is a nice follow up with the captivating intro

@@pitg1318 *Gothenburg 2011 has entered the chat*

Mike Oxlong i don’t see any triggers on his set

Ohh yes

Is the best James

10 Legenda4L maybe he’ll keep it healthy this time

More importantly moustache James

ON THE PUBIS

Are you guys talking about hair?

Here a punk boy from chile ive gotten onto underground punk shows (tocatas as we call them here) and these motherf*uckers were pogoing non stop during almost 3 hours, i am the drummer so that was a never forget experience thag will stay with me for years

South America has really good crowds in every video I see and they really love rock and metal. Saludos hermanos latinos de un Mexicano viviendo en USA.

@@jlopez1017d Saludos hermano, respeto total por "Orgullo, Pasión y Gloria"

Yo soy del Brasil pero amo ustedes ❤

Juniper DrAmms they also be like “does this song even have lyrics?”

K-pop fans be like Why is this thing so loud.

I thought Metallica was just a clothing brand?

They should do all their instrumental in a row for the intro.

Hahaha

I was glad too. He started to do the all black as the Hardwired Tour kicked off.

I started backwards jaja in fact, Metallica introduced me to HP Lovecraft and I will be forever grateful

Stop.

Jose Maravilla people can prefer more melodic music (classical, jazz, prog rock, even pop rarely)

@@virv1ndo973 I agree but Metallica is pretty melodic on most of their songs :)

DLP-Coaster there is so many riffs without melody

DLP-Coaster but black album and a bunch of songs from load/reload are melodic too

I know Virv and as a music teacher that I am, I truly respect that, let’s keep on Rocking forever🎼🎵🎶🤘🤘Go Metallica‼️

They have said that they play better in concerts because they feed off of the audiences energy.

For once...

Sorry.. i can say that lars out of tempo
