@@antoniocenteno1483 this is a fragment of a instrumental song called "To live is to die" from the album "And justice for all" and that song was a tribute to Cliff
@@TuukkaWask makes me want to cry a lot of the times. All their music hits me in the feels but this one, Orion and Ktulu take me to the tender place in my soul that’s tough as nails and survives all to spite what the world throws at it.
This medley always rewinds me of my mom who passed away thirteen years ago. She used to love watching this performance with us. She embraced our taste for music. Love you mom always. ❤
Although I really like the idea of what you wrote- I really think it's the spotlight from Lars' kit... You can see it when the camera is above them that there is no part of stage lit between them...
@@michaellukas7267agreed, but there is also a gap between Jason and James, unlike that of Jason and Kirk. This could all be speculation, but it would be cool if it were true.
I saw them in '89 in Leiden, the Netherlands. I was 14 years old, it was my first ever metal concert. It was amazing. Big stage, large crowd and a raging Metallica 😊
Such a moment for Jason to be joined on both sides. He must have really felt a part of the band for these few minutes. One of the best pieces Metallica has ever written. Would have loved for James to play his solo on this....
The section they play in this video is probably my favourite piece of music ever written. It speaks to me the same way Barber's "Adagio for Strings" does. Incredibly emotive. Just here to pay my respects!
So much fucking nostalgia in this song. When i was 15 turning 16. Me and my crush were sitting in my room listening to this and she was caught off gaurd with sudden change to master of puppets. I had my chance to make her mine. But i choked up like a little bitch haha. Few months later she passed away...now im 20 and i still have a hard time listening to this, thank you metallica for helping me through my dark times. 'I fucking love this band! They are the best band ever! Period!'
@@elkrumb9159 now they are on good terms. The guys admitted they see it now and they treated him wrong. It's in an interview. Now they are older and mature and see why he left etc
Thank you for uploading this. I get choked up every time I watch it. This song, along with Fade To Black, literally saved my life. This concert was one of three included in what my high school friends and I referred to as the "Metallica Box Set" (although the actual title was "Live Shit: Binge & Purge"). It included Seattle and San Diego on VHS video cassette and Mexico City on a triple CD along with a booklet of photos and artwork. I got it for my 15th birthday in 1996 and I still have it to this day. I used to watch this on a loop over and over and over again. I came very close to commiting suicide when I was 15 and this song (along with Fade To Black) inspired me to literally put down the gun and pick up the guitar. That was 23 years ago. Now, at age 38, my guitars and my music are the only things that motivate me to keep going. If I can write a song that helps someone the way this song and Fade To Black helped me, then I feel like I will have accomplished what I was put on Earth to do.
Inspiring stories, i can relate, thanks for sharing them! You know, the title of the song "To Live is To Die" is one of the deepest phrases i've ever heard in relation to life and dead, and the song has no lyrics sung, so each one of us experience the melodies of the song in a very unique way, and at the same time, it just inspires us the same thing, which is to live... But it's not just a motivation to live, it is that will to live, even though we suffer and die at the end, but maybe that's the beauty of living, the end! The remembrance, the footprint we leave in the history of this world, even though they'll never write about us, our "lives" are part of this history. How many musicians can make you think and feel this way about life with just a title and some melodies? At this philosophic level? Only the godly ones lml
@@carlosalford Well said. The meaning of life is to give life meaning. In other words, our purpose in life is to figure out what our purpose in life is. I was an only child. When I was 12, my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. When I was 13, my father was accused of assault and lost his job and I was forced to switch schools. When I was 14, he went to prison. I was 15 when he got out. When I was 17 or 18, my mother's cancer reccured. My parents separated when I was 22 and their divorce was final when I was 23. My mom finally succumbed to cancer when I was 25 and my dad died suddenly of a heart attack when I was 32. I am the sole surviving member of my immediate family. I spent years, literally years, sitting around feeling sorry for myself - wallowing in my own self-pity. Asking, "Why? Why me? Why does this keep happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?" It felt like I was being punished for something that I had done wrong. Only I hadn't done anything wrong - certainly nothing so terrible as to deserve all of that. Then finally one day I had an epiphany. I realised I wasn't being punished, I was being hardened. If the fire isn't hot enough when the steel is forged, it will break. Only the hottest fire can forge the strongest steel. Survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive. What does not kill me makes me stronger. I realised that, whether I liked it or not, natural selection had selected me. I realised that the proof that I was strong enough was the fact that I was still standing because if I wasn't strong enough I'd be dead. Then the purpose slowly revealed itself. If not for the accusations against my father, I wouldn't have switched schools. If I hadn't switched schools I never would've met my best friend (who played guitar). If I hadn't met my best friend, I never would've started playing. I feel as though I was meant to play and the reason is so I can help others the way "To Live Is To Die" and "Fade To Black" helped me. As well as hopefully helping others understand why they might be going through the things that they're going through.
and yet there are a lot of people that says music can't save lives... I started playing guitar after I heard "one". If it wasn't for guitar, I would be dead too. Cheers to you man, for being alive, and for listening to metallica. Good luck!
my uncle just died this friday the 23... he was my BEST friend and after he died this song pop in my head and i remember the name of this song.... making me cry right now... my uncle would have sad something like: "Great song your playing... rock'n roll" Rip Uncle... you will allways be in my mind ;)🥲🫂❤
This is what I was passionate about Metallica, it includes that feeling of the 80s, when everything was beautiful, passionate... pleasant memories of my middle school, high school... the most beautiful decades I lived with.
One of my favorite spots on the first 4 albums were the instrumentals…. It was a special “treat” to hear a song so great, James didn’t feel it necessary to sing over. Of course, “To Live is to Die” is the most somber as it alludes to Cliff’s untimely passing…but at the same time, there’s a certain sense of majesty and dignity to the piece.
I feel so lucky l got to see them on this tour in '89 on their second leg!! By the time l saw them again in '92 they were a completely different band!!
