[nicothedrumer]

[lore89Salentu]

he can still headbang as no-one can...graeat james!!!!

[METALLICA0506]

the four horsemen 8:51 :D

[DontBlink113]

That riff is insane!

[jeretxxx]

I was here!! front row too :) :)

[Maxamilieon]

james is HUGE I thought rob was big.... but noppeee.

[Gtugcu]

lol @ 6:19

[ianmackenzie21]

how do i get to one of these signings?!

[kylecrs]

James is a big motherfucker isn't he?

[TheMetaldude94]

wtf?! he's guitar is not plugged in? :s

[MrCherryKush]

@TheMetaldude94 Wireless.

[Benderbot50]

@TheMetaldude94 it is, the cord thats hanging is for the wireless unit that he uses on stage, in the tuning room he uses a regular cable

[zeonefelix]

James Is fucking Rocking in each one of these songs! Awesome!!

[Jym01]

Just like to point out he's playing Fade to Black in the first sequence

[maoribrotha53]

@Jym01 yes we all know

[ChocolateTundra]

"Man, Rob sure looks small in that white tee!"

*Rob takes off shirt*

"....Damn"

[Motorfixxxer]

you should also mention on the title that he soloed with fade to black

[sjokkokisen]

JAMES LOOKS GOOOD!! i thought at first it was from 2004, cause he had the same hear until i remembered that was just your life was from 2004 :O 

[Horsti2k]

Love the cleans!

[MattBeardyKH202]

"That Was Just Your Life & Fight Fire With Harmonies"

Probably a more suitable title...

[buba28]

I would be so fucking honored on meeting Trujillo as we both are mexicans :D!!

[TheBloodmaggot]

@buba28 hes american

[75SilentWarrior]

@TheBloodmaggot But he's of mexican ancestry.

[the1013trombone]

james is so cool he prolly did check out that guys cd.

[MrMrkfuk]

his solos are fuckin great also when he is jamming

[johnny6407spot]

oh yeah, metallica is the best¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[TheOnlyHorizon]

Thats Fade To Black man >_>

[jacops]

James must be scared as shit of the pyro's lol.... Still, if you see the spots on the ground, they must know exactly where and when what pyro is gonna ignite or they could be in some deep shit, like allready happened ones before....

[nirvanafan176]

god lars pisses me off lol.

[paynemacleod]

You can tell the fools that jumped on the bandwagon. That first song was Fade to Black, that should have been in the title instead of "...Life". Much cooler song.

[caceteirooooo]

at 1:08 does the fan says that he is from Portugal!?

[JohnVoidDoe]

He is quite tall isnt he? I didnt notice that until now.

[405mikey91]

wow, I love how he sang fade to black in the beginning. doesn't sound so metal, but so much more emotional.

[smugoogie]

severe headbanging starts at 9:58

[SAUL051992]

If I can ever meet these band members, i'd pass out, and go into a coma for the rest of my life because, shiet i just wouldn't know what to tell em XD

[FahadOrfali1993]

[javier232]

[patpat122]

[EdgarBarqueroChannel]

[WootZillza]

james hetfield is massive compaired to the people there

[danielflasher95]

gota love trujillo's bass style

[g0d0fgu1tar]

james and cliff are/were the best musicians that metallica ever had and ever will have

[chrisx8x23x95]

I WANNA MEET LARZ ULRICHEZZZZ lol i really do wanna meet lars one day thou :P

[metaldrummer726]

[whatisabercowich]

@metaldrummer726

The End of the Line

[0maZter0]

@metaldrummer726 its The end of the line, i guess ;)

[wwegirl9914]

aw man, y couldnt they play fight fire with fire in buffalo?! the pyro is sick

[XB0XFR34K]

the guy that talked to james was really nervous

[chavosucks]

sake, i really want to meet these guys!

[LukeJF89]

Lars looks a little stiff in the rehearsals! lol

[TheAndredood]

Amazing band!

[fourn443]

man metallica is mad mellow these days :/

[javier232]

@fourn443 theres nothing wrong with being mellow after all its the music that counts

[ridethelightning64]

@javier232 There's nothing WRONG with them being mellow, "we" just prefered them when they were the rowdy partyin mother fuckers that they truly are hahaha XD

[berlymaiden]

Mad Mellow ? They bean rocking since the late 70's you retard. They're way older than appear. If you ever thought you could rock half as they do you should wake yourself up and slap yourself. I'm 40. I fucking moshed to these guys in the 80's every time they were around and that seem like forever ago. I cant believe these fools still fucking kick ass so hard.

[tonellojohn]

@fourn443 they are like 45 years old they are allowed to be mellow. but their music is till hard as ever.

[wwegirl9914]

@fourn443 they still sock, but there not as young as they use to be

[ChevyManSS350]

@fourn443

Its called there aren't kids no more, they are 40 somethings and a lot more mature.

[slowboat]

@fourn443 I wouldn't consider Death Magnetic to be mellow at all.

[dethmag]

@fourn443 Whats mellow about Death Magnetic?? If you can't understand that then spend some money and go see them live ballsack. You're out of your mind.

[hemmygrant]

that rythm on fade sounded amazing.....mmmmgibson

[JTwiss88]

@hemmygrant i think thats his LTD- Iron Cross.....man i so want that replica though....i checked out the website and they retail at $9,999....they are exact replica's though....the joys of being in an amazing band i guess....

[hemmygrant]

@JTwiss88 I think origionaly,(around St. Anger) it was a gibson custom shop jog and then ltd re did it....either way, sweet guitar. I'm sure his rack adds alot to the sound as well

[spacer3001]

@hemmygrant he's had it since Ride the Lightning he's just never used it

[spacer3001]

@hemmygrant It was also a Gibson Custom. It's not an ESP at all

[polishskaterdude32]

the solo sounds good!

[brewtality101]

hahah people are so awkward around them

[CerealKiller5150]

great performance but shit Lars you can't even keep up with the rest of the band. have you guys checked out Dave Lombardo filling in for Lars in the song "Battery"? he puts Lars into shame

[Metayerthraxadeth]

@CerealKiller5150 course he does Dave Lombardo is the best metal drummer of all time. Notice i said metal drummer. Pert and Bonham are better

[miafan89]

James' Fade to Black solo is so fucking good.

[guitarchris93]

@miafan89 i think its impovised

[Failhaid]

9:55

nice to see James going nuts again...haven't seen him banging for ages

[angushetfield13242]

When theyre signing autographs it makes me smile to see that they dont think theyre better then everyone.

[Zilgath]

ls it 'cause they're nervous or something because all meet n greet fans that either meet em at the arena or at their studio seem so ungrateful like l met Metallica whatever... who cares, right? If they'd sign my shirt or something l'd at least say thanks and be polite...

[thetudor7]

any has tabs for the solo from 01:35-02:10???

[ironwolg]

@thetudor7 learn the E minor scale and you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly. i hope i dont' sound like an asshole by saying that, but that's my suggestion for you, you'll develop your ear and you'll learn it a lot faster

[lore89Salentu]

his hair are as woodstock 99!!!! great james!!!!

[willywacker27496]

the first song the bass sounds like fade to black

[gokuhernandez]

thats cause it is

[chrishorton2k8]

That would be awesome just even looking at Papa Het's hand as its attached to the arm thats attached to the best rhythm player in the world

[adelsaint]

Those fans in the beginning are fucking picky.

"Can I get ya to sign it in silver? Sign it here on the front!" My god, meeting him should be enough, you're lucky you get an autograph, don't push it!

Then the other guy barely talked to James!

If (and hopefully when) I meet Metallica, I'll practically worship them!

[BlindSlshr]

dude i totally 100% agree with you

[sleekskyline120]

@adelsaint i was lucky enough to meet them at the madison square garden show in november. trust me buddy when your standing in front of a god youll be shitting urself and not knowing wtf ur saying lmao

[adelsaint]

@sleekskyline120

You're prolly rite. I'm only 16 so my chances of meeting him are a little slimmer than most Metallica fans'.

I really hope I get the honor to talk to him some day.

[sleekskyline120]

@adelsaint

im only 14. so im one lucky son of a bitch :D

[adelsaint]

@sleekskyline120

nice man. when did you get to go?

on this last tour?

[juankenny91]

hahah xD

[CaptainFantastik1]

The band has been SO tight on the Magnetic tour. The two shows I saw in Florida were as good as the shows I saw in the early 90's.

[javier232]

i know what u mean i saw them a week ago in anaheim that concert was amazing

[xcubeee]

@CaptainFantastik1 i saw 2 show in montreal and 2 in quebec and they were very amazing to

[brassmonkey456654]

@CaptainFantastik1 shit im in orlando i wanted to see it so bad!!!!!!

[punkthrasher13]

@CaptainFantastik1 i saw them in ft lauterdale were did u see them??

[standeman80]

@CaptainFantastik1 I agree with you as well. I hate when ppl say Metallica sucks now. I am like; fuck you, go see em now...

[FreeMTrider]

@CaptainFantastik1 Definitely. They played Ride the Lighting when I saw them last year. The first time I saw them play it was 1985's Ride the Lighting tour opening for Y&T. It sounds just as good today.

[Rockstarter99]

Man! My highest dream is to meet James but when I would Im sure I would just say nothing at all because I would be so stunned!

[javier232]

yeah i know what u mean if i met any of them i'd probably nut in my pants lol

[WWFATTITUDEERAFAN]

@javier232 Exactly! LOL! If I met James I'd probably Jizz myself. xD That's like my dream come true! :D

[xtrmdago718]

@Rockstarter99  would you have him sign somthing...i dont think i would i think just meeting him would be enough

[nikoasdaf]

@Rockstarter99 there is only three words when you meet James: "LET"S JAM MEN"

[jampk24]

What's with the drums?? Every video I listen to I can't hear the bass drum. It's like you can hear one hit every few seconds and that's it.

[Amiel666]

1st one is fade to black

[webman445]

i would have been shit nervous if i was standing next to james :P

[ZynadeTV]

Me too. I just don't know why I would be nervous xD

[southpark645]

Wow I know how much of a role cliff burton played in metallica and i honestly think that he was and still is the best bass player ever in the universe but I believe things happen for a reason and so i think that his death was so that metallica went through what they did all their career like justice and so on it was not exactly thrash so i think cliffs death had something to do with that change in metallica. so people cliff is gone and has been for 23 years its not like thats going to change.!!

[ridethelightning64]

I love what he starts doing at 2:13 I'm not sure what he's doing but I love that sound...

[maitallica]

the song is called fade to black, off of ride the lightning

[ridethelightning64]

no shit look at my name, I know the song, I just wanted to know what he does to get the sound he gets

[marcblaak]

Lol

[Followthelight2]

LOL wow i didnt see your name but i wish they let james and kirk go at it with the solos. it would be cool.

[ridethelightning64]

yea totally, I think they should trade off solos in songs, That would be just epic.

[4stringFanatico]

GENIEUS!!!!!!!!!

[ridethelightning64]

what's genious?

[pspsp5]

Its the clean channel with some chorus.

[ridethelightning64]

I sort of knew that, but is he like sliding there? or...meh I donno, thanks for your help though man

[DayHopper]

nigger faggot

[steven30722]

I want a vest like kirks...

[LiquidStampede]

@steven30722 i know its like the most epic vest ever

[ridethelightning64]

do you think he made it? or bought it? :P

[metalstormlance]

i absolutely loved metallica, and grew up on them... it makes me sick, they are so sloppy now, and old... if cliff was around, he would be pissed.

listen to the original. ride the lightning was my first album.

[baranthalas]

if cliff was around, metallica would be heavy metal version of pink floyd.

[skate4life2022]

fight fire with fire is awesome I dont know why many people dont like it.

[punkaxer]

i think its one of the best of metallica, along with Master

[Fatherschizo]

its because they pussy faggots who rather listen to nothing else matters. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE ONE OF THE BEST FUCKING THRASH METAL SONGS EVER!

[Smertyin092]

Is there anyone who don't like Fight Fire? If there are they could be pussys. Fight Fire with Fire is one of the best fastest-neck breaking-asskicking song on the world! (The other ones are Blackened, Battery, Damage Inc., Creeping Death, Metal Militia, Dyers Eve, you know...)

[Awtq34]

WHIPLASH!'

[whatisabercowich]

@skate4life2022

Precisely, I personally think that it's on their top 5 (of best songs).

[matmanv2]

@skate4life2022 there are people that don't like it? i haven't heard much criticism for it....

[SuperMetalAngel]

Yeah huh, the best song on earth is Fade to Black...everyone should know it lolz

[jleach96]

its fade to black you dumb fuck

[BlessureK]

man james is a great solo player too. when him and kirk do hamonized solos they sound so awesome

[OfficialTorn]

@BlessureK yeah like master of puppets and blackened, just absolutly amazing!

[DisciplesOfAlliance]

James could be a band all by himself in the studio......he can play drums, sing, play lead and rhythm guitar, and i'm sure he can play bass.

[ridethelightning64]

Actually James taught ron mcgovney how to play bass if I remember reading it correctly.

[DisciplesOfAlliance]

Wow he really is the worlds greatest musician.

[ridethelightning64]

Ya in my opinion he's pretty under-rated lol

[Jpprflrp]

That's what i wanted to say..

[Jpprflrp]

You know the unforgiven 3 intro?

He plays piano too :]

[DisciplesOfAlliance]

wow.

[Jpprflrp]

Fuck yeah ^^

But indeed he is world's greatest musician alive at this very moment..

[Ianguitarsolo]

hes incredible, but dont exagerate man

[CJBoy2010]

just for the record he played bass, rhythm and sung in the original Hit The Lights. he also wrote the solo(I think)

[ridethelightning64]

and drums when he wants to don't forget that haha

[slaughteredremains1]

James is actually alot better of a guitarist than i thought haha

[emorocker897]

james has more soul and emotion then kirk will ever have

[skate4faith]

Well kirk has lots of emotion and soul, mabey not as much but hes does

[Jpprflrp]

Not lots, i mean, he has enough wah for sure, but soul and emotion is another thing..

[getayamaha]

lol at 0.48

[gangaranga123]

123454321qcat well i think kirks best guitarist in the world! and hes really getting better. or if not better, he stays in his level which is really high. dot.

[skate4faith]

Yea I love kirk to

[metalmosher451]

james is mad tall

[TheNumetal95]

Kirk is a grate shreder and James is an awsome guitarist so that makes metallica britty good + Robs bass is sick so sick

[troidltroidltroidl]

yesh metallica is are good.. is

[Jack4Hyland94]

lol james is a tall guy

[Fanofano562]

6,25, the fire is awesome!!!

[SpicyShred]

why does james have that thing in his back pocket all the time?

[Jack4Hyland94]

so he can wipe sweat off his fore head

[mono1490]

incase he gets swety i dunno

[TechDeckRules0172]

Why do they tune down half a step on the guitars? At Binge and Purge they didn't tune down.

[Metallihead22]

James is getting old, its like with Ozzy, they have to tune it down because his voice isn't the same anymore, it goes along with the music, i wouldn't mind if they tuned it standard with his voice now though.

[mono1490]

You know Y his voice isn't the same?

Well because he tore his vocal chords before load and reload. That is why he sounds different. not because he is old.

[69jcpimp69]

this is another album, they play however they want on their albums.

they were just experimenting i guess.

[metalistas1993]

The playing starts at 1:18

[Duckywillhaverevenge]

kirk is not getting worse if u see recent live videos he actually plays some sols exactly how they were in the album exept sometimes he plays with the solos thats all (Hammett>mustain)

[acer993]

go FUCK a squirrel

[24corvette]

Dave didnt get kicked out because of his drinking he got kicked out because he just did too much stupid stuff. the other guys did stupid stuff but not as much as Dave.

[Scootch2192]

actually he got kicked out cuz he got drunk and kicked james' dog which started a fight which ended in him getting thrown on a bus. Read the issue of Guitar World with Kirk in front. They interview him about everything. Trust me

[yeatsg]

i actually think kirk's slowly getting worse, its nothing with talent really, its just he's getting old. In 5-10 years, I don't think Kirk, and certainly Lars will be able to play as good/fast. So at the moment, I'm gonna say Dave's better, he's also churning out better material.

[DSWEIG]

8:45 is sick!

[Peatman]

Fuck yeah!

So is the brutal break at 9:22, and Robert's shriek at "The gods are laughing".

[negativekind]

yes it is! and at 9:23 it's like WATCH OUT JAMES!!!!!

[fatboy4000]

hey to u guys arguing dave is a better guitarist than kirk but dave deserved to get kicked out because of his drug addictions
