[prssecustum]

the reason why there's three dislikes is because when they were watching this their jaw accidently hit the dislike button

[bluefukingreene]

the magic died when cliff died.

[steeltoto]

@bluefukingreene EXACTLY! well..... And Jusitce For All was pretty good as well!

[bluefukingreene]

@steeltoto yes it was brother,but even cliff had writing credit on it.the rode the wave of master creativly that is into justice.

[69ofdoom]

Lars could actually play really sick drums when he was on cocaine.

[icannotfalter]

Cliff made bell-bottoms metal...

[Lolighost]

Fuckin 3 people!

[jhonnyrest]

Cliff the master - bass!

[Colbystrns]

Amazing song, and since Cliff Burton is playing it, it makes an awesome show to watch. :)

[scheissdrek]

Back when Metallica gave Slayer a run for their money...

[chestus12]

@scheissdrek and every other damn band lol

[cesrin64]

damn, it would be hard too choose between kirk and cliff. i mean cliff took kirks place on the bus when he died. what if he hadn't? damn then we wouldnt have kirk.

[zzzhuh]

@cesrin64 ya if only lars would of won...

[chestus12]

@zzzhuh That's fucked up, considering that Lars is a co-founder of the band and an integral part of their songwriting....

[zzzhuh]

@chestus12 ya my bad he was also the founder of selling out as well =O

[chestus12]

@zzzhuh lol selling out is a term that people who can't change accept diversity and change use

[2309davidobando]

this is of cliff em all

[x1ic1x]

@JOEYSTREETM34

How the fuck can you not know who cliff is? This is too heavy and classic for you, go back and play One on guitar hero you fucking fag.

[sammyr63]

CLLLIIIIFFFFFFFFFF.

[cheezeontoast4]

[jmiester25]

[ElFrankus]

Amazing band..

[ElFrankus]

Amazing band..

[BlackAngel111111]

Cliff up your ass bitches!

[Vexer333]

@BlackAngel111111 ya they did play fast

[TheFerkazHeadbanger]

I don't know if you know this

toad1971 with Cliff they dind't play so fast so when he died and Jason replace him he gives to the band a special power on their live versions...

[malteserabroad]

Having seen this video I find it hard to believe, accept even what this band have become today. Such a shame. The energy and rawness displayed here has gone. Or should I say has faded to black?

[toad1971]

This is so badass. Back when Metallica was hungry, angry and disciplined. Cliff Burton is so missed, but so is Jason Newsted and Metallica is not the same without Jason. But Cliff was Metallica, that's clear now.

[awbjr9871]

@toad1971 I agree with you on everything, except that Cliff was Metallica. I think James was the driving force, along with Lars and Cliff. While I love Kirk, he seems to be a bit along for the ride. I blame 3 things for the demise of Metallica as a thrash band: age, success and Bob Rock.

[awbjr9871]

@toad1971

Financial success makes it pretty hard to be hungry and angry like they were. Also, as you age, you mellow....it's just life. Now, as for Bob Rock, I think he came in on the Black Album and began the process of destroying their edge. I blame him almost competely for their crappy albums they put out.

[jackroi0]

@awbjr9871 dude.... i think exactly the same... it suks so bad... but its cool that they are trying to go back...

[LeftHandedJay]

@toad1971 Fuck Jason man , he left , he's dead to me

[postigaceltic]

Totally wrong. Metallica is James. All the other members in Metallica haven't changed as much as James. His change of attitude in stage is what makes people think "Metallica" has changed. He used to be a drunk motherfucker, he banged his head, he screamed, and he even insulted fans, now he doesn't do ant of that, he's all mellow. The fact that he is the face of the band, makes people confuse his change with Metallica change. Metallica is the same (the other members) James isn't.

[postigaceltic]

@toad1971 Its kind of stupid, because in this video you dont see anything really standing out from Cliff. But... LOOK AT JAMES! That's attitude, man. You confusing James attitude with all Metallica's attitude. The other guys play as they did, more or less. The attitude oj James is what you see in the first place, is he's angry, Metallica look angry. If he's mellow like now, Metallica look mellow.

[fenrirguado]

@postigaceltic finally found someone who says that Cliff wasn't Metallica, all feelings was definately from James. You can see on interviews with James and Cliff, James was more raw than Cliff, I'm sorry again but Cliff was looking kind arrogant on an old interview from mid 80's

[33COOLMAN33]

MEALLICA !!!!!!!!! old school yeah

Nice watch my cover of damage inc :)

[zodiacxkiller]

That Weirdass is Cliff Burton,

Dickhead

[JOEYSTREETSM34]

Sarcasm my friend, Sarcasm

[samanoske13]

are you serious!!!!! how could you not know cliff

[hametfan]

thats gods son, not jesus the cool one who plays bass, his names cliff burton...........ring a bell

[day2daygrindin]

Dave is awesome of course the godfather of the double bass, but Lars off beats just wax Dave's ass hands down. When I say that i am talking about his drumming on the first 4 albums, but im sure you know that since you listen to Slayer lol. Both are really amazing drummers.

[Fad32Black1984]

love it

[sataniqueravageur]

Tank Ripcb about thios video, i like video with Cliff make me crazy, would like know lot about this death or where was diparate.Was old greath time , time is blood reborn again ..........

[zehsource]

[ilpazzinista]

@carrotowns haha true he is god 

[horror4ever1997]

@carrotowns no don´t laugh...

[MissSanitarium]

@carrotowns James is Metallica. If James died that night there wouldn't be Metallica after that..

[steeltoto]

@carrotowns They should have never bought the bunk beds for the bus- Kirk was suposed to be sleeping on the top bunk, but Cliff wanted it. Then, during the night he fell out the window..... :'( It was horrible! I wish he didn't die! HE was WAY TOO YOUNG! but imagine as well, if cliff didnt want the top bunk, Kirk would be dead :'( ITS TO HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!

[metallicafan650]

ahahahahah the date is 4 20 '86

[nolfavrellcalamakta]

[Muhyogeten]

[furnacefire]

CLIFF EM' ALL!!!!!!!!

[shikamarunara333]

Metallica's best! it can only be complete with cliff!

[SlayerRules667]

THRASH

[gandelfi]

following our instinct not a trend, go against the grain until the ennnnnndddddd!!!!!

[AAbLeeDINgFIngErsAA]

Just see cliff man !!

[iamcraiger]

the band at their best IMHO

[666MASTERTARIUM]

damn, Cliff had only a few months to live at that time ;( RIP Bro!!

[consoz55]

the singing is amazingly good for a live performance

[kendostick58]

man. i remember these days

''hey man, metallica comin to town''

then we would home in the corvette and head to the bay. god. i miss it all!!!

[metallica0925]

but cliff would made Justice kick ass and he wouldn't wine about it like jason pussy ass newstad

[tnordmo]

Jason was longer in the band than cliff, so i think we rest that case.

[Bofur4]

Just because Jason was in the band longer doesnt mean anything, Cliff had better bass hands down. You can barely hear bass in some of the justice songs. Also jason left metallica because wasnt strong enough to play metal according to him.

[masterofmetallica09]

I think if Cliff didn't die, Metallica would still have this 80's spirit like in this song. Jason is a great bass player, but he just doesn't have the same vibe Cliff had, you know...

[tnordmo]

Jason was the best. thats it. he ruled the stage and the bass. its not he's fault that you couldnt hear the bass, thats rest of metallcas fault. he was strong enough to do that, he plays even more hardcore music now. metallica got better when jason came. cliff rocked the bass, but jason is just better .

[antniemi]

One reason why you can't hear bass on the Justice album was because Lars turned the bass down whilst recording and James made the bass riff in sync with the rhythm guitar. I read that they did it because they felt that Cliff couldn't be replaced and totally didn't exept Jason to the band yet.

[Bofur4]

Exactly, cliff can never be replaced. He was and still is the best bassist ever, and all that us other bassist can do is hope to someday be even remotely as good as him.

[5105RockerKid]

actually if you do your research Metallica actually felt Robert was the new Cliff

[Bofur4]

I was aware that metallica felt that robert was the next cliff, I even saw his audition. But what im saying is that Metallica has never been quite the same without cliff.

[PsychoMenkz]

Actually Jason left becuase he could'nt take James's and Lars's torture. They couldn't bear Cliff's death and most of the time they dumped their anger upon Jason. They treated Jason like an outsider. They served Jason like crap so how can he be in a band under such conditions? Jason IS a badass metalhead......

[Bofur4]

I know this, what kind of fan would i be if i didnt know about Jason?!! what im saying is that Cliff was better than Jason, not that jason was a bad bassist. hes very talented in his own way.

[SneezyDoorx]

You are severely misinformed my friend. They pulled pranks on him in the 80's, and treated him like crap then. The reason he left was because he was a hired gun. They weren't paying him any royalties from album sales or anything. He was getting payed to play shows and that was it. I hate to admit it, but Lars and James are a couple of greedy mother fuckers. And the Napster scandal didn't exactly make Jason want to stay either.

[spaginaman]

You are an idiot. Of course they played pranks on Jason. He was the new guy in a band that had been together for years. But that doesn't mean they didn't respect him. Also, of course he didn't get royalties for albums he had no part in making, but he did get them for the albums that he was a part of. Jason has said many times that the lapse between Reload and St.Anger is the reason he left.

[Grimeyhoob]

they didnt respect jason, especially james and lars who were total assholes to him. jason wasnt even allowed to contribute to albums. Even Scott Ian of Anthrax said they treated him real badly.

James and Lars are two control freaks with Metallicas music. Cliff Burton was a major force behind Metallica's best music, after he died, Metallica became all about the money and fashion and not about music anymore. Fucking rockstar bitches who need to hire group therapists to get along.

[Jtmoney363636]

I agree that Cliff helped them create some of there best music, but a lot of people think AJFA and Black album are two of if not their 2 best. I love both of them, then they drastically changed their style. I still liked Load and Reload but not as many songs on them as their other albums. It seemed like they "matured" and grew out of such thrashing. But Death Magnetic sounds great and is just like their old stuff so idk...

[swtchnmusk]

.... no about music .. and what the hell is they magnetic then????? i know that is far to be their best album but ... live they are still a huge metal band ... money and fashion .... bullshit!!!! lars may be a money freak but he is a damn good drumer .... and james is still the riff man in thrash scene ... about jason i dont miss him ... not even a little ... rob its ok for now ... you are such and idiot ... metllica is still huge .. no doubt about it ...

[swtchnmusk]

sorry DEATH MAGNETIC hahaha my bad i dont used to put comments in english yet hahaha

[MegadethFan95]

lars WAS great now he's ok. If u wanna see a good drummer check out dave lombardo

[masterozx69]

You know what I think is hilarious though?

Jason said that later on, they actually started to like each other. And watch "A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica" cause I see Jason contributing to their songs.

[Borisas88]

well.. I don't think either of us really know wether they respected him or not, but I don't think they really did. atleast it doesn't seem so in various interviews. But don't think it was the laps between Reload and St.Anger that made him leave, but more that he was not allowed to do various side-projects. atleast that's what it seems like from the pennthouse inverview, and Some kind of monster.

[MetallicaSucksNow]

Exactly 23 years ago

[danydaplaya]

this is the REAL metallica

[000Megadeth000]

4/20 :D

[kendostick58]

the guy who filmed this must be one lucky son of a bitch

[MetallicaSucksNow]

Yeah, cause there were no cell phones back then

[G0000MBA]

ya there where not camera phones obviously but there was huge brick sized cell phones

[nymphetamine2]

Sounds just like the fucking recording! Love the vocals!

[cimitiruvesel]

too bad the bass solo misses

[dxvolt]

KIRK the Best

[boondockspwn]

that solo is fucking insane. i dont give a fuck who you are that solo is awesome!

[monstermash75]

lol ur gay, rust in peace is their best album hands down

[jamesabilly]

1986 was the coolest year to be alive if you were a metal head. Well, at least it was for me. Metallica were the coolest thing on the planet and Slayer, Celtic Frost & Megadeth were all putting out their best records that year as well. This clip captures Metallica in their prime of being Metallica. Each album saw them getting even better than the last and they still had Cliff who was the true genius of the band. This stuff is awesome but it makes me sad too. Ahhh, memories.

[whatisabercowich]

You mean 1983! KILL 'EM ALL!

[jamesabilly]

You've got to be kidding me! I'll take any/all of the 1986 albums from the bands I mentioned over Kill 'em All in a heartbeat! Reign in Blood, Peace Sells... & To Mega Therion are ALL superior records & from a strictly "Metallica" stand point, Ride The Lightning & Master of Puppets blow the doors off of Kill 'em All as well. Kill 'em All is great for what it is but isn't even close to being the masterpiece that Lightning or Puppets is. I suppose you think "Show no Mercy" is Slayer's best too?

[whatisabercowich]

I think that Kill 'em all is their very best, and that Killing is Megadeths best, but I do think that Reign in Blood's Slayers best.

[jamesabilly]

"Peace Sells" & "Killing..." are just about even as far as how good they are to me but I've never been the biggest fan of Kill 'em All. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when I was younger & still dig it now but as the years have gone by it hasn't stood the test of time for me as Puppets & Lightning have. They just advanced so much, got heavier & developed their use of harmonies on those records. Cliff's influence really began to make it's presence known & they reached their peak in my opinion.

[jamesabilly]

We all have the right to our opinion and for the record, I definitely respect yours.

[whatisabercowich]

Thank you for those kind words, I respect yours as well, jamesabilly

[VFoVendetta]

God Hates Us All.

[jamesabilly]

Everything Slayer has ever done kicks ass (unlike Metallica) but Reign in Blood is still the greatest thing they've ever done.

[SENTRY000]

Slayers new albums are average at best.

Anything after seasons is mediocre.

[jamesabilly]

I agree with you to a point. I haven't liked any album after Seasons in the Abyss as much as that album but average or not, they never stopped being Slayer and I respect the hell out of them for that. Literally every other band out of that early 1980's thrash scene (Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Anthrax, etc) would sell out, break up or put out some seriously weak/lame records at some point. Slayer just kept on doing what they do & have prevailed as time has gone by. Nothing but respect for them.

[nymphetamine2]

I agree with you Jamesabilly! But everything after seasons is mediocre

[IJIIKY9192]

metallica hasnt sold out...lars has but james kirk,and jason/rob have not

[elite117825]

"If Cliff were still around he would not have let all that Black album shit happen."

-Lars Ulrich

He always wanted to be a famous rock star. But Cliff was true to what he wanted to do, regardless if anyone liked him or not.

[IJIIKY9192]

the black album was awesome because it showed that metallica could incoprate more melody and shit in their music while still playing heavy after that album is when it got bad

[elite117825]

I like it but it's just not the same as Puppets or Justice it was less metal with some exceptions but it was way more commercial than Cilff would have had it.

The album wasn't made for money they just did it and it made so much money. It just doesn't have the aggressiveness that the others had I still like it. But I don't like Load or Reload or St. Anger and I do own those albums as well as DeathMagnetic which is ok - great at times.

[IJIIKY9192]

yea but cliff wouldve liked theblack album he was in to more then just metal and shi and load and re-load have a couple good songs like until it sleeps,and bleeding me

[elite117825]

Cliff did like other things than metal but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have wanted it like that. It would have been better and less commercial (load and Reload) but I'm saying that Cliff would have liked it but he would have made it different more metal and more attitude.

[IJIIKY9192]

i see what your saying but just think it wasnt metallica that made that record comercial we the fans did by buying over 5 million copies...idk im just saying that record proved you could play slower and more melodic while still being metal..and i think cliff wouldve liked that but hey who iam i to say right im just a fan

[elite117825]

Yeah they weren't aiming to be commercial but it happened. I think Cliff would have known that the songs were aiming to be way more popular and not as meaningful. But yeah we did buy over 5 million copies of it. But then it wen't down hill with them trying to do it over again. But yeah whatever it already happened.

[bobjackson7]

ur saying cliff liked softer stuff, that doesn't mean that he writes it, one of KERRY fukin KING's favorite bands is Elton John and he doesn't write soft shit at all.......Look up "Marty Friendman and Kerry King on Japanese TV Show" on you tube

[VFoVendetta]

Okay, old Metallica or old Slayer?

[jamesabilly]

Can't go wrong with either band in the 80's.

[elite117825]

I say MetallicA over SLAYER but I own my fair share of SLAYER shirts.

SLAYER started to sound the same after a while. But that is complete opposite to MetallicA which sounds different every album but that's not always good. METAL UP YOUR ASS!

[ironbird01]

Ahh yes... this bootleg VHS made it all the way to Hawaii. The Mighty Met opening for Ozzy! If I remember correctly the camera kept ducking down to avoid security =D haha! They had Sooo Much Energy back then!!

[rkfromchi]

Kirk with the classic Misfits tee on! Hes not much of a headbanger though! Thats what gets the crowd into it! Thats why Cliff was the shit. Thats why Tom Araya, Gary Holt, and Kerry King are too!

[alkakla]

the best metallica
