Rapper FIRST time SEEING - Metallica - Enter Sandman Live Moscow 1991! What is this!? 

Fun fact: Still, to this day, as listed in The Guinness Book of World Records, Metallica is the only band to ever play on all 7 continents. And they did it within a one year period. The choppers were not to keep people in line. They were moving air down into the crowd because they were so tightly grouped together.

This song, when James originally wrote it, was about losing a child to SIDS, but it eventually evolved into just trying to protect your child from the inevitable evils of the world, some of which are closer than you think. Another fun fact, the child’s voice you hear in the bridge is James’ sons voice!

There were reportedly 1.6 million people there and it is the 5th largest concert crowd ever recorded. The concert was to celebrate the fall of the Soviet Union and AC/DC, Pantera, The Black Crowes, and Motley Crue also performed, but Metallica stole the show.

I saw Metallica 6 times. My husband could play everything they ever played. He was an awesome guitar player. He lost his battle to cancer in 2013. Our son still plays his dad's guitar. Metallica was his favorite rock group and his could have kept up with them! We played Metallica at his funeral. Oct 28th is when he passed. I miss him every day and our son looks just like him just with short hair, lol

They stopped counting at 1,600,000...by the time AC/DC and Pantera came on, there was more like 2 million!! Epic moment in music history!!! First free concert in Russia!!! 🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🥁🎸🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🎃 The opening music is "The Good, Bad and Ugly "....its Metallica's call to their fans!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

A USSR flag is the probably the last flag you'd see at this show. This was the first major concert in Russia after the breakup of the Soviet Union, so also a sort of celebration of the opening up of Russia to the western world. Kids in the USSR had been getting their hands on bootleg tapes and merch from Metallica (and other western bands) and this was the first time that those bands were finally able to come over and play live there. That's the entire reason the crowd is so big.

The intro comes from the "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" ( The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone )

The Helicopters were flying over to cool the crowd off. I was at the Germany version like a week or two before this show, it was lit! Monsters Of Rock was the tour. AC/DC were the headliners.

Over here in Europe, before 1989, people told stories of travelers visiting The Soviet Union who smuggled tapes with Rock Music into the land.. The "Iron curtain" was a fact !! This free concert was Epic !!!

Definitely "one" next on your list... the official music video! It'll give you both chills & a great conversion between ya both! Cheers!

The military was there as security….the guys rocking out in their uniforms were actual soldiers breaking rank to bang their heads. This was my freshman year of college.✌️😊🌼

Creeping Death from this show is one of the best performances. Harvester of Sorrow is an interesting video too! Also Metallica opens every show with that song. It's from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Man this is so fire. Every time I watch it I get goosebumps. The significance of this concert is insane. The Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union finally fell & the Cold War ended freeing them from a strict communist regime. Western bands were allowed in & Metallica along with several others did a free concert. This is a big ass freedom party!

First, I would like to point out that most of the 1.6 million people there don't speak English!!! And they still rocked out like that !!! Music transcends everything, even language. Also, I would definitely love to see you guys react to the official ONE video... especially now with the wars going on these days. Best wishes !!!

Black P. That opening music is The danish symphony orchestra doing ‘the good the bad and the ugly’ well worth checking out. It’s on 125m views and is absolutely amazing 😉

(I know it’s been almost a year since you reacted to this) but I just wanted to say that I was in the military stationed in Germany during this time and a bunch of us went to this concert!!! It was even better than it looks like it was!! A once in a lifetime, mind blowing experience for sure!!

The opening tune is Ecstacy of Gold by Ennio Morricone. It can be heard in the 1966 movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly starring Clint Eastwood. James Hetfield uses the tune to warm his vocals up before going on stage. All Metallica's concerts start with it.

Black… you can say you’re a “hip-hop head” all you want buddy… but you’re slowly and subtly turning into a metal head whether you like to admit it or not!! Look at that big smile on your face and you’re doing what all us metal heads do when watching a video.. we “windmill” without actually windmilling our heads properly cos we don’t want to take our eyes off the screen! But nah in all seriousness, I love watching lovers of other genres of music appreciate and have fun with music typically outside of their comfort zones

Awesome reaction to that clasic song by Metallica.. More please...! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

1.6 million people, love or hate them, you can't deny their popularity.... personally i love their music. Last few albums had a couple good tracks, but their early stuff was ground breaking. Just remember, they're old folks now, and like it or not, that solidifies my respect for them.

Glad to see you enjoying the metal vibes! Would love to see you react to more bands!

The song that opens it is The Ecstacy Of Gold - Ennio Morricone from the movie The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. Classic Clint Eastwood.

Metallica is a personal favorite. Thanks for reacting to them. I was lucky enough to see them live and their shows are 🔥

This song was originally about crib death and the producers said no it was to dark so they rewrote it. The nursery rhyme of the sandman was about sweet dreams and this is the other side of the sandman who brings nightmares. This was a music festival with a lot of big names there. The estimate was 1.6 million but they lost count that’s why it’s a estimate and the helicopters were misting the crowd with water to cool them down. The number of people who died at this festival was around 50+ people. Oh just to give you an idea how big this was this was a opening performance.

Do ONE!!! the story it tells is crazy

The opening music is call "Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone. Music from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

It's just people. Forever. To the horizon and back. Insane.

1.6 mil all for the love of music!!! Priceless!!!❤

Oh my goodness! Im in awe 😘

Yes! Massive REN fan here who's favourite band is Metallica! PLEASE do 'ONE' and also 'MASTER OF PUPPETS'

Champaign-Urbana, Illinois was so excited to see the original video of this song because it showed the University of Illinois electrical billboard advertising Metallica coming into town

Metal band fans are amazing crowds, so much fun. Seen them in the 80's in CT. Maiden fan here also 🤘

I got to see this concert in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was like 16 or 17. It was an amazing show. Up there with AC/DC. Check out Angus Young from ac/dc the lead guitar. The whole show he doesn’t stop. The man is insanely awesome

My favorite Metallica albums are the S&M albums! They perform all of the songs with a full orchestra and its absolutely amazing! Please check out No leaf clover, and Hero of the day! If you do One, you have to pay very close attention to the video!

I was in my early 20s when this happened and it was literally one of the most epic things we'd ever seen.

I would HATE if I were right in the middle and needed to use the restroom…..

This was after the fall of the USSR in 1991, first time western bands were allowed in the country. Sergio Leone’s The Good The Bad and The Ugly was the short riff heard before Enter Sandman.

I think reacting to Metal is a key way to grow your channel. Its actually pretty crazy how closely related Metal and Hip Hop are; you'll find a lot of people who are metalheads and hip hop heads. Its all about the lyricism and the music. If you do go down that road, these are must-react metal songs: Master of Puppets (Metallica; super deep lyricism ), One (Metallica), Fade to Black (Metallica), War Pigs (Black Sabbath), Spit It Out (Slipknot - Live at Download 2009 version), Walk (Pantera), Domination (Pantera; heaviest breakdown you'll ever hear), Chop Suey (System of a Down), B.Y.O.B (system of a down), Raining Blood (Slayer). Hope to see some more metal!

It was written about childhood fears. Fear of the dark. Fear of monsters in the dark. Nightmares.

The opening song is The Ecstasy of Gold from the Clint Eastwood film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

agreed 100% about the power of music being able to bring people together. it’s a universal language… i have a bunch of music in languages i don’t speak or understand in my collection that i listen to because i don’t need to understand it if i can feel it 💜 side note: that includes one of my favorite bands that is 4/5 Russian. imo “russia” might be the enemy, but the Russian people are not.

There are 1.6 million people there, many of those people that were at this concert, still alive over there right now. This is THEIR Woodstock. Their first real deep memory of freedom, Western style. this is what happens when barriers to freedom fall. You can have 1.6 million people in one place not trying to kill one another. But just enjoying the company. A unified commitment to peaceful coexistence

Metallica is who I was listening to growing up. I was in the opposite camp to you guys. I listened to metal and rock and I never listened to hip hop, rap or RnB. I got to meet these guys last time they toured NZ and it made my inner teenage self so happy!

On the Howard Stern Show they said it's about crib death. "sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight, exit light, enter night. take my hand, off to never never land"

You can’t be 40 years old and not have heard this song in passing at some point. It’s literally played at some point in at most sporting events. Humanity is basically one step away from issuing this album (the self-titled “Black Album”) to newborns at birth with their social security cards.

Please do One!!! It's got movie clips from Johnny's Got His Gun... Absolute story telling at its finest!!!

They should’ve done Creeping Death from Tushino Airfield. Same crowd, it just has crowd participation. And hearing that many ppl “join in” is incredible. Edit: I originally put Turismo [like the vehicle] Airfield. I didn’t notice the screw up until after I already sent it.

The Ecstacy of Gold from the movie, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly ..at the beginning!! It's not just a jack commercial

The opening song is called ecstasy of gold by Ennio Maricon, and it was featured in the Clint Eastwood movie, the good the bad and the ugly.

Guys, please do next Pantera with "Domination" at same fest 🔥🔥🔥🤘😎

The music for the song was written by Metallica guitar player Kirk Hammett, along with Hetfield and Ulrich. The subject matter for the tune was composed by Hetfield, who sings with a rugged growl about a child trying to fall asleep and the nightmares that ensue.

The intro music is the theme from the Clint Eastwood Western movie " The Good The Bad And The Ugly " and this sounds like the performance by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra - which is definitely worth a reaction on it's own !

My all time favorite metallica song!

I want to say that the rebel flag is actually one of Pantera’s flags they were selling which they opened for Metallica and AC/DC during this

Wow seeing this 30 years later is just.....i dont have words ❤

Gotta do Pantera Domination. Same show. Best fucking performance. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The best bit was when you were trying to put this into historical context..."...when did Rocky IV come out?" Awesome. Love it.

They say it was 1.6 million but that isn't an official number, they say there was likely 3-400 thousand more given all the security, police and military not to mention those who couldn't even see the stage lol. Metallica owns all of their music and records on their own label, Blackened Records.

They were an amazing live band. I saw them OPEN for monsters of rock in 1988. I actually went to see them and the place went nuts! At Foxboro stadium-where the pats play- no longer there. Unreal!!

Im so glad to see that Don knows something about Metallica and this song, Lars Ulrich is from Denmark though

Intro song is by Ennio Morricone. I forget the name of it but it's from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

You should check out Harvester of Sorrow from the same concert. It’s got a heavier beat and more percussive vocals. It’s amazing. Metallica is definitely worth going down the rabbit hole for. Would love to take the journey with you.

Yes, please do One!

They are so frigging good live!!! They bring so much energy

You've got to watch Pantera doing Domination from the same show, the energy is off the scale

Great reaction. Please check out their song Creeping Death thar did at this same concert. And hear the ppl chant with them. The song is Great. It's basically took out of the Book of Exdous. Please.

Hi guys, I come from Chile Southamerica. I am 52 years old and the first time that I herard Metallica's song, I was 14 years old..It is a pleasure to see you..

I love this song. It has such an ominous sound, as does much of metal music, but also like much of metal music, the foundation is positive. The “Sandman” is made to sound horrifying, but he’s only mentioned once and the start and then given a head nod at the end. Why? It’s not really about the Sandman, but what he exemplifies- the embodiment of things that terrify children. A child’s nightmares often spawn from something in reality. To the point that both of you guys are making, what is the Sandman bringing to the children of Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the Gaza Strip, or Palestine? For me, metal has always found a way to shed light on the horrors of society, systematic oppression by governments, or the manipulation of governments by special interest groups and the wealthy. Metal allows me to flip a big 🖕🏼 to all of these things while jamming out. It’s brilliantly cathartic. Much love guys, enjoyed as always

And TheOnlyBand which played on 5 Continents!

You two need to do "Creeping Death" from this same concert. Absolutely epic.

Don't expect USSR flags. With the fall of the USSR and the Berlin Wall coming down not long before this, Russia finally opened up to the West, tourism and Western entertainers went over. The Russian people finally got events like this and so huge numbers attended

You have officially made my morning routing now black! Coffee, a joint and binge all the new vids that you guys post!

Dude I'm 60 years old and still jam on this. I was raised on music. My mom work for J&K records in the 70s and my ole man was an old country music guy. But metal is my go to when I need to get shit done.

It was a wild peaceful time 1991. 2024, we've set ourselves (as a country) back soooooo far.

This song is one of the biggest gateways into metal.

This must´ve beein their CRAZIEST concert ever, and their most DANGEROUS concert ever!!! AMAZING!!! 🤟

This was the Entrance Theme music for The Sandman in ECW, and this gets played at every home game of Virginia Tech College Football Team as the players run onto the field before the start of the game

great music, great reaction, love you guys, greetings from Bavaria 😍

What did I just see!! 😱 I can't believe you guys reacted to Metallica!!! It's my favorite band ever!!! Now, you must do ONE! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! Do the oficial video, you won't regret it and keep rocking!! 🤘🏼🎶 By the way, back there in Russia, there were 1,5 million people.

Thanks , for your honest opinion. Im just a regular guy , who wants to live in freedom and peace with enjoyable , lovely and great music.

That opening tune you asked about is "Ecstacy Of Gold" written by Ennio Morricone. It was the theme to the film "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" and Metallica has used this as their infro tune for decades.

FRom Bing AI: This is a song called “Enter Sandman” by Metallica. It’s about a little boy who is scared to go to sleep and has nightmares. The song talks about how the boy’s father tries to comfort him and keep him safe from bad dreams. The lyrics also mention the Sandman, who is a mythical character that helps people fall asleep. The song has a lot of loud music and sounds, but it’s just pretend and nothing to be afraid of. It’s just like when you play pretend with your friends and make loud noises.

Beginning song was taken from Kelly's Heroes movie (1970) Great movie!

I have seen a interview with James Hetfield about this concert, remember none of them had any idea how many would be coming. They were later told that any rock music was hard to get before the iron curtain was ended. The intro is from the movie the good, the bad and the ugly and is titled Ecstasy of Gold. They have done a concert with San Francisco symphony orchestra, their music gets another deep with the orchestra. David Garrett is a violinist that plays both classical music and dose covers of movie, pop and rock music. Some songs are The 5th, Thunderstruck, Walk This Way, He’s a Pirate, Kashmir, Peer Gynt, Childs anthem.

This video gets me hyped evertime!

i started with metallica and guns n roses when i was 15😊 later fell in love with rammstein.. but metallica will always be a childhood sweetheart😂😂❤

All these people brought a cd bro, with the money eyes wide open, brilliant.

Check out the S&M album they did an album with the San Francisco orchestra pretty cool

I saw Metallica last year and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to! It was absolutely perfect in every way.

You absolutely have to do One, the official video. Nice reaction to this one!

This song is a real pump up song. Popular among Sports teams to get worked up. Virginia Tech in particular brings their football team into the stadium to this song as a tradition.

The intro to the first part of the song is Clint Eastwood movie The Good The Bad and The ugly. Great reaction.....

That background music at the beginning was from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, a great old spaghetti western with Clint Eastwood (the Good), Lee Van Cleef (the Bad), and Eli Wallach (the Ugly). One of the best movies Clint ever did.

I looked it up, this was a free concert at Tushino airfield in Moscow for 1.6 million people. The concert was the first in the Monsters of Rock series and took place in September 1991, a month after the August Putsch failed.

Let’s see a rap show attract this many folks

That intro/prelude music that you're wondering about is from the movie 'The Good The Bad And The Ugly' Starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Metallica loves the themes from that movie and..

these guys are REAL ROCK STARS!!!!!!!

One is amazing you've got to watch

VA Tech Intro is insane. Thought I’ve lived Metallica since the 80’s with Damage inc. Yes after the calm of the Berlin Wall in 1089 when I graduated.

Russians don't hate their leader!! A decent number of Ukrainians don't either they simply didn't want to leave their home land after the ussr fell... and something all too many forget is that the west stood with Russia thru that war... just saying 😜 Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ @BlackPegasus and @DonWannabe
