Metallica - The Four Horsemen (Pinkpop 2008)

[TheDutchMusician]

I've been there almost at the front, great perfomance.

but the public was like what song is this except for nothing else matters en sandman -.-

[5233959]

@TheDutchMusician haha :) too bad for them

[xxhyperxx]

Man, what I would give to be projected onto a screen that size! That's how you know you've made it.

[TheCdrums]

Beatiful. Why wasn't I there in 2008? There playing so many kill em all. Just Awesome!!

Rock on!

[tascouts120]

They tune down because of James. He toured every night drank loads and did lots of screaming. His voice blew so now it's all Eb. Makes it tighter and bassier SO ROCK ON

[MrDR7no]

omg kirk is a god and the solo is far better than the mechanix one!!

[rcdwnl]

metallica please comeback to holland again!!

[Almarad]

Is the sound quality or they are now using guitars half step down?

[UltimateCommentor]

@Almarad They have had their insturments tuned down half a step live for yeeears

[MetallicaGHgta4ever]

best METALLICA SONG ever

[buckethead0376]

It's Robert Trujillo who brought the fire back in the band. He challenged their playing abilities and made them pick it up again. He's 2 times the bass player as Newsted. He can't sing back up vocals like Newsted but can play the shit out of a bass!

[HardMusicMenno]

@buckethead0376 what ever you say man but i still miss Jason

[gabiguer]

is much better mustaine solo -.-

[Metalupyourass0011]

I need that kirk's middle solo played live!!!!

[mseals29]

@Metalupyourass0011 That would be sweet, I love that part too but in order for them to play it live they need special permission from Lynyrd Skynyrd because its from Sweet Home Alabama. And there are WAY too many legal issues with that band.

[xSeDxReaper]

hard to see METALLICA when there are 50 damn cameramen surrounding them

[norpman87]

I WAS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metallicaHTL]

7 fags watched this video

[Huckabee08jk]

Screw those camera guys

[HighLifetage]

oh my fuckin god, lars' drumming keeps getting better and better! its amazing!

[JMnDC4eva]

How come they ALWAYS skip the slow part of the song? the slow part makes it 7 mins long but its always shortened to 5...

[PohatuJr]

Lars is so much fun to watch on the drums. A lot of drummers just sit there and play. Lars is going crazy and I fuckin' love it!

[zilverburn525]

i like this and i like the mechanix thrash till death fuck posers and fanboys :P

[skaggs1494]

All time favorite Metallica song for me

[getsome9256]

is this the show were they played orion

[ReVVVern]

thank god metallica got rid of bob rock. he is a douche bag

[MrMattmica]

@ReVVVern fuk yeah!!"MetallicA" was gr8, but everything since then smelt lik money 4 bob. thx god 4 Rick Rueben!!!

[BlackRaven1988]

the old school 1989 / 1992 versions are better however this ain't bad at all :P

wish they had playe dit at sonisphere 2009 :( four horsemen is my fav. song :P

[21stCenturyDeadline]

shut up about mechanix please!!

God we're on a horsemen video. Shut up!!!

[adam3486]

HAHAHA i have a feeling that their gonna be like they use to and no offense to what they are now and i dont mean drinking like they use to i mean make new albums heavy like the one's they have already have.

[krayter]

lmao @ "want some old shit"

[Relcone]

Mechanix sucks balls!

[Rokenbok300]

@Relcone yes it does in all ways... the word, the wimpy tone, its so fat the parts are blurred... eh dave was so focused at trying to be better than met at that tim he couldnt even get a good tone at all...

[KillJoy353]

@Rokenbok300 Dave is a better musician than anybody in Metallica. I love both bands, but Dave is obviously more talented.

[sudifo]

@KillJoy353 hahahaaha you made my day

[KillJoy353]

@sudifo It's funny that you're in denial about it. James can't play lead. Kirk can't play lead as well as Dave can, and James, Kirk, and Lars can't write for every instrument. That being said, Metallica was my first thrash band I got into, and they have a very dear place in my heart, so I'm not just saying this to be a troll.

[MrDR7no]

@KillJoy353 as a matter of fact he is, he has written great lyrics and some kickass riffs whatsmore he's one of the fastest out there but he doesnt use his talent into that. his solos are not at all creative just the same licks and some fast playing that sometimes doesnt make sense for example look at the mechanix and the four horsemen solo (perfect comparison as kirk plays it exactly how its played by dave) the mechanix may be faster but theres not emotion in it in contrast with kirks playing.

[KillJoy353]

@MrDR7no yea dude no emotion...you haven't listened to Megadeth's stuff if you say that.

[9MinamiKe6]

Jaymz screamo still sounds good. He's awesome.

[swiv2d]

why is he missing out the solo for this song all the time

[abcDiogo123]

may i remind haters that they all have kids..

yeah that means they are fathers and their actions and words can b inherited by the young Tallica members

[smitty6293]

i love hetfield's explorer here, fucking sick \m/

[BlackoutMenace]

alot of people blame them cutting their hair and making different sounding albums as part of selling out.. That just brings up the old saying of Cliff "we do what we feel like, and if people consider that selling out then whatever."

[EliotNess4rmWest]

@BlackoutMenace omg i told a whole shit load of kids then i showed em that video and they all shut up lol

[Rokenbok300]

Hair is not important in music!!!!

as pionted out, kerry king is bald!!!

and yeah, who cares if metallica cuts their hair, they stilll kick ass!!!

[Mustachhe]

i wish i can say that they sucked so bad at the Rock and Roll Hall of The Fame.

[swiv2d]

Did they really I missed it

[Jumbonikko]

You got a very good point there, but it's something with their hair. Look at seattle 89, that concert gives me goosebumps ;p

[Jpprflrp]

So do the Mexico and Nîmes concert of 2009,lars and james without teh long hairs.

[suicidehoe]

baldness is just another way to show your "evilness"

as galder, or nick barker, and many others

lol

[Jumbonikko]

You got everything right there mate, the are the best, and they got no one to compare to.

[2shae1980]

@Rokenbok300 kerry king is the baddest motherfucker alive no matter the amount of hair he has =P like David Ellefson said he looks like he is going to rip your fuckin throat out at any moment.. but what you said is true, metal is metal no matter the amount of hair on the metalheads =D

[jamesliebone]

@Rokenbok300 Lol I don't blame them it must be annoying as fuck to have hair keep falling in your face while you're trying to play/sing.

[MasterMetallica010]

@Rokenbok300 thats right but big hair ftw!

[muffigw]

@Rokenbok300 Long hair stands for non-conformism which was very important back in the day but these days anything goes haha.

[Luuk4Guitar]

@Rokenbok300 It's just more awesomer to headbang with hair? Just like Kerry did in the 80's

[Arturoma10]

Dave Mustaine song

[Mustachhe]

yup

[ChOOzExe]

Jesus christ, quit with the dave mustaine bullshit, he fucking wrote few riffs outta the song. Metallica wrote and played the four horseman, mustaine wrote mechanix.

[homeofwopper32]

wow James' vocals were amazing here

Metallica 4evr!!!!!

[sanor006]

I totally agree!!

[masonnomo2]

It seemed like James got his balls back on the tour for Death Magnetic. His singing was immaculate when I saw them. When they played Whiplash, he let out an intense scream just like he did in Kill 'Em All and it surprised the shit out of me. Metallica forever. King of Thrash

[HEAVYMETAL21ST]

@masonnomo2 Ur an idiot go listen to SLAYER.

[BrianGilissen]

@masonnomo2

Werchter 2007???

[RodHammett95]

wow!!! thsi is most fast than the original and this is good!!! MetallicA!!! lm/,

[RogueAndroid]

Great performance of one of their best songs!

And yes, this song was originally composed, entitled The Mechanix, by both Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield back in the day. There is NOTHING anyone can ever do to contradict that.

I love both songs. Even without lyrics, this would still be a brilliant piece of music in my opinion.

[LegendarySeifer]

Amen! Four Horsemen is better than the Mechanix. Mechanix might be faster but Horsemens lyrics are better and its heavier

[eddie9454]

well youre deamn right but new metallica blows dogs for quarters

[LegendarySeifer]

I wouldnt go that far.New Metallica is far superior to Load-St Anger Metallica

[eddie9454]

dude look dose guy they cut their hair and learn to sing and you know why the st anger album dont have solos,

because lars tell kirck that solos were out of fashion

[LegendarySeifer]

Umm...duh. Thats why I said new Metallica are SUPERIOR to them in the Load/Stanger days. Theyre back on track as a heavy band. Not saying load and reload are bad just,cluttered with songs that arent great.

[eddie9454]

well mmm yes youre right bt in one way they improved their songs bt theres more to improve

[BijanMetallica]

@eddie9454

Oh my god when you use the "they cut their hair argument" you know you're a worthless piece of shit.

[eddie9454]

yeah and when you suck your dad's pussy, that looks so fucking normal to you Mr. rapedass

[eddie9454]

aaaahhhhh that hurt you hah thats because the new metallica are a bunch of fagots exept for kirk and rob the other 2 assholes are the fake onesand you blow dogs for quarters

[zombiegaara]

@Bijan didnt all the bands from the 80s that were good that can continue to 2000s cut there hair? seriously....

[BijanMetallica]

@zombiegaara

Huh, what are you trying to say?

[zombiegaara]

the long hair look isnt really in anymore, and people say they suck just because of a hair cut. how does a hair cut change talent?

[BijanMetallica]

@zombiegaara

Yeah I agree. Long hair has nothing to do with music talent, some people are just retarded.

You'll see the hardcore Mustaine-like Megadeth fans use this in an argument on how Metallica "sold out". So lame.

[zombiegaara]

exactly, mustaine didnt really do anything for the band, and personally, i like james's clean cut look, slightly wiled with a killer beard.

[iron000maiden]

what about slayer

[zombiegaara]

@iron000maiden im not a hug fan of slayer, and kerry king is bald.

[chunkyfishdied]

Yeah, for social exceptance.

[sk8erboy182]

@Kororock mechanix is WAY better, and i like metallica and megadeth

[DeathPenguin1000]

I can't believe James still has that explorer.

[Korbandallas]

I don't understand how Metallica fans can hate Mustaine. He pretty much got them off the ground by writing half the songs on Kill Em All and then they screwed him over.

[metpach]

its cause he is a douchbag

if Mustaine wasent such a big ass people wouldnt hate him so much

[pau6alfafarS80]

who cares of dave mustaine as member of metallica 28 years after he left the band!?!?!!

[19GuitarJosh93]

can anyone tell me why they don't play the oringinal 7 minute one anymore

[tristan2]

they are getting to old

[ilmancio9]

because the sweet solo in the middle "belongs" to mustaine...i think

[19GuitarJosh93]

another thing i don't get is mustaine not playing the 7 minute one either just with different lyrics, but, anyway kickass song

[kokonuthead65]

actually the middle all belongs to metallica if you listen to the version when mustaine was in metallica you'll see what i mean...but sweet fucking song

[steermaster]

because it breaks the tempo of the song. that part just slows the whole song down and it would totally kill the mood

[RodHammett95]

it´s more faster than the original , and this is good lm/, METALLICA 4 FUC*IN EVER

[Eject135]

its pretty much mechanix and i don't mean mustaines version i mean like the first first one like in no life till leather

[burythaliving]

they can hardly stay in time or atleast lars cant

[MKsBOWSER]

so anyway i like machanix better dave is not emo who ever said that dave wrote most of this song and megadeth is kick ass man daves still got it so well sort of metalica

[Eject135]

FUCK YEAH MAN MEGADETH FOR LIFE

[Jpprflrp]

why can't people just like both megadeth and metallica?

[19GuitarJosh93]

i like metallica and megadeth equally as my favorite bands

[eyeofthebeholderr]

i noe right? i like both

[heurebag]

cos megadeth are shit

[tristan2]

and u are retarded if u think that

[GMX7fan013]

fuck u there both good i bet your little 12 year old who nvr even heard of dave other metallica fans hate him so u do cause u flow wit the current QUIT HATEIN ON MEGADETH (I likeboth bands)

[sora778]

the prolly dont know that the four horsemen was originally the mechanix.

[GMX7fan013]

4 horsemen came first

[sora778]

mechanix was technically the first when it was performed live (with mustaine) and put one the demo no life till leather.

[GMX7fan013]

kill em all came out w? the 4 horsemen before megadeth was ever formed

[Nonchiie]

but it was originally the mechanix but they changed the name after mustaine got kicked :P

[jerey34]

why did they skip the bridge section in this song that they made after dave was out of the band? thats one of the best parts of the song :(

[Eject135]

really? i always though that messed up the song since it got all slow after it was fast

[jerey34]

the solo in the bridge is nice though

[hellboundxraven]

yes yes i know the black album but you can see james struggling with gutteral singing during the justice tour.

[Romeiro2008]

never more the old days.......but still good!!!

[hellboundxraven]

i guess that was a wrong choice of words.. my apologies no he isnt emo but i can almost predict if i had a million dollars i would bet it all if he had a chance hed dump megadeth and go back in metallica

[hellboundxraven]

thank you striker for agreeing and i must agree as well that james seems to have gotten some of his origonal voice back. you can hear it in the day that never comes and i believe some in the end of the line. i doubt hell ever get the voice like in kill em all and up to master of puppets. james lost it during ...and justice for all when he began gutteral singing somewhat but yes sounds a lot better then in the st anger tour.

[Vmt16]

Lost it during thr black album tours.

[strikerjess]

his voice sounds better than in previous concerts, long live metallica

[hellboundxraven]

if i hear more goddamn shit about dave mustaine ill rip my hair out the fucker is a good guitarist he got kicked out of metallica for being a drunk fuckhead (and because they wanted kirk to be greedy) but hes a emo asshole now im sick of you people get over it you fucking losers seriously if you cant accept factors about it then just deny you listen to metal go back to your stupid little alternative bullshit lol im getting stupid better stop while im ahead point being is just get over it please.

[strikerjess]

I know right ppl cant get over that shit, '"metallica is better", "no Megadeth is", shut the fuck up once and for all

[clem070605]

ok, dave mustaine is not an emo...i dont know where you got that idea. he is a dick, yes, but he is a great guitarist and also a great frontman.

[btruins]

anyone else notice lars' fuck up at 1:28 he loses time for just about a second. as long as they've been playing this song, that's just some sorryness.

[daJodge]

Yeah, he fills on the snare when he should be finishing up the fill with a cymbal hit. Recovered pretty fast, though, you have to give him that.

[ForForm]

love this version :)

[gloury]

his voice sounds great here, well compared to the couple of years before this it'll never be the same but it kicks ass in this song

[samehomar1993]

"Want some old shit?!" Its so aweome how he says it!

[mitchwheelz]

I find it funny how, in a shit load of videos James says "wanna hear some old shit" I would be like "yeah because the new stuff sucks dick"

[metalhead326]

why does this dude get thumbs down what a beast comment

[Godskitchen06]

U suck dick u cocksuckin fag. Lets see u write a song u little cock munchin homo

[Larsulrich01280]

The Four Horsemen is so fuckin' better than The Mechanix ...

\m/

[MaestroMan999]

only cuz they had more time, more money (better equipment) to touch it up

the solo is mucher better in mechanix

kirk can't play shit compared to dave

[ikbendik123456789]

@MaestroMan999

suck my dick

[MaestroMan999]

dude i agree four horsemen is better i'm just sayin that metallica had the upper hand, but dave is the musician behind the music and deserves some credit

[LegendarySeifer]

Agreed. The lyrics make it a fuckload better. That and James vocals

[AsherMetallicA]

ya plus i bet kirk could play daves solo's, but i perfer kirks better anyway

[MrGrimreaper080]

Ok one thing Dave was in metallica. he had A DRINKING PROBLEM. They kicked himout. he made an insane band called megadeath. it rocks but i HAVE TO SAY i like Metallica more but dave was the original insane machine gun rifts i gotta give him props for it.

[TPCrisis]

Metallica stole this shit from Dave and changed the name. And fuck you to all the emo faggots that talk shit about Dave & Megadeth.

[richardfox1990]

metallica wrote the riff when Mustaine was in metallica, then he got kicked out, but because he wrote it aswell ... both mustaine and metallica had the rights to the riff! they both made songs with it, and metallicas was a country mile better in my opinion <<<< OPINION (remember that)

[sandman12682]

I guess they changed the lyrics too, huh? Look up the lyrics to both of the both songs. DIFFERENT. BOTH Dave and metallica have the rights too the riff. Dave wrote different lyrics. HIS lyrics. Which are pretty good too.

[bassjammer14]

Dave Mustaine is a faggot!

[baloons4satanists]

Lars missing all his tams:(

[vijaynaidoo]

4hm is way better than mekanix

[baloons4satanists]

You know... Dave Mustaine wrote the mechanix when he was in Metallica, they used the song on a demo and with old lyrics. After Dave Mustaine they had to change the name of the song to The Four Horsemen and the lyrics aswell. All of this because DAVE MUSTAINE WROTE IT!

[DaLarzeman]

After mustaine got kicked out, they rewrote lyrics because mechanix lyrics were just about a mechanic who wanted to screw.

When mustaine started Megadeth he speeded the song up and started to 'sing' himself.

[baloons4satanists]

thats a fact. But its still his riff :)

[jaffskeleton]

wahat does james say at the beginning???????

[Cletus575]

He says: Do you want some old shit?

[deimosianrocks]

He says I hope Dave Mustaine doesn't mind that we stole a bunch of his riffs,lol

[ikbendik123456789]

its tape, because his hand is hurting because of all the insane shredding

[FuckNathanGale]

"Sing it, fuck!" Old School Hetfield right there! \m/

[FLamesi84]

lars rules

[norway69]

mechanix is the same song but with the lyrics that dave wrote.

[davidb0149]

dave mustaine version.

[darkmager340]

dave wrote the song before he joined to metallica and he changed the words with megadeth

[chucklawg]

dave mustaine didnt change the words when he went to megadeth metallica changed the words and the name after they kicked him out

[FryskeRocker]

they used to play the song entirely..

just look it op:p

it's sad the pinkpop crowd is halfly filled with top 40 bastards, so half om them know sandmaaaan and uhm... onee

and the rest is lame, in their opinion:p

fucking dutch:p( allright i also live in the netherlands, but i ain't dutch :d :p )

[410pannekoeken]

if you dont like us than fuck off! go back to your own shithole of a country

[miracleglimmer]

goeie ! :D

[redphoakis]

Lars: Hey James lets slow the songs a bit and take it easy so I can keep up.

James: Sounds good Lars lets make all our songs as easy as possible and dilute them so we arent so tired and achey.

Kirk: I can't stop crying what happened to Metallica? I need to meditate.....

[yamila68]

LMAO on the floor!

[skatallica76]

what the hell!?!? its actually going faster!!!

[chidori123457]

Robert: well i think we should...

James, Lars & Kirk: SHUT UP!

[Trizeaumique]

Awesome, what else ?

[LittlecErased]

One of those hands is mine. xD It was awesome. Going to see them again at 30th of March

[mepudri00]

I agree with IDrummer1993

[coxy5]

Lars fucks up at 1:28 but well done for bringing it back in, could have been a real laid back groove

[knight116]

good eye and ear, its much easier to bring it back when your a drummer, trust me, i play in a band and asked my friend to play drums for iron man, he never even looked up anything, he just improvised the whole thing and sounded great

[coxy5]

Yea bad thing with Lars is over the years his mistakes have become more often. Im a drummer myself.

[1xcrosswordx1]

good lord. this song is kick ass. and he is using his long-buried growl. this seriously sounds like somethin from '91. MetallicA forever.

[ynkysrbest]

why dont they do the first solo
