metallica - fade to black - sydney - big day out 2004

[KillaKrive]

Fucking Nice.

[WikiHeba96]

poor james got a bit mixed up haha

he is still fucking amazing though <3

[hipbas]

I was there for this gig. Best Big Day Out Ever. 50,000+ people were jammed into that arena and not one person left before the end. Awesome!

[MrBTrev]

@hipbas I was there too and it was sick in the mosh pit!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sunj5976]

i remember being at this gig, jumped the fence to get in and saw metallica,, best concert ever

[crazyhawk59]

One of the great things about live performance -- it is different every show. If you want perfection, listen to the album version. Me - I appreciate the individual nature of each live show. Metallica is amazing. Road dogs, indeed! They are magnificent and easy to look at. Peace.

[OspaMadeInChina]

Funny mistake. :D But he is still awesome !! MetallicA !

[Tertyu48]

Who cares about mistake, it's still effing awesome :U

[GuwnoNieLata]

Wpadka O.o

[llaneromemos]

Lars should get a real drum kit, like the old times!!

[Sebcio58]

haha he has forgotten the text:D:D:D:D:D great concert:D

[xem9oo]

el ql la mea distorcion :D

[whiplashnote]

whats effect guitar kirk use please

[Rafals1993]

omg, big spam by those guys..

great show!

[darthdingas]

Well he wrote the song he can sing it how he like's i guess!

[Satrquasis]

best perfrmance ever, too bad he said it wrong :)

[brendenl25]

i missed seeing them in 04

[darthdingas]

it didnt sound like he stuffed it up to me from the crowd... could have been a number of thing thow!

[swinepantz4]

first line should be "life it seems to fade away, drifting further every day"... james starts off with "i have lost the will to live"

[Crashypeng]

AWESOME!! cant w8 till they come to aus again :D

[aaronakaspuds]

yup he drunk XD

[BILL92691]

best live song ever! James is still fucking awesome!!

[chirola666]

thaths rigth

[ChikaNeca]

I LLLLOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEE "goodbye" part.... Jamez rulez!

[vmbj800]

he didnt screw it up he just missed the part when hes supposed to sing

Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else 1:25

then after that is when he started

[WakDuckling]

ahaha

he totally screws up the lyrics

oh well still great vocals in this song

[dhuey10]

But i must say this is one of the best live performances of this song

[dhuey10]

It might not be the rythem guitar playing when james raises his arms because in some concerts james doesnt play anything during the solo!!

[KirkHammetRullz]

maybe. maybe its my mistake ^_^

[KirkHammetRullz]

im verry disapointed to tell this but at a moment, James raise his had to erasse his swet with the pick in the hand and the rythm music still played. They've done playback to this song :(! The moment is at 5:40 . Im a big Metallica fan , no matter what, but i just wanted to tell u this :D

[rodriguez256]

He actually does this a bit but do know that he is simply playing the riff with one hand. Its a very easy riff to do one handed.

[XxDARKNESSXxFALZXx]

he hammered it on dude

[ChikaNeca]

yes i saw that, but its not a playback, he didnt need to pick a note in that part because GAIN is high, and you can hear sound if you just work with left hand... for a while...

[XxDARKNESSXxFALZXx]

thats called hammerd on sustain,,

[asiteu13]

@ChikaNeca perfectly right



[Broezzz]

@KirkHammetRullz that aint playback, bro, thats what a electric guitar can do -.-

[YeabrahhHH]

where abouts does james stuff up his lyrics ? =S

[elkhourye]

for the guy that said he made random notes.... sometimes at concerts they add their other stuff compared to the original

[KMXXXsub]

You suck!

[pkurru]

This performance would be very good if kirk's guitar would be in tune... But anyway a very good one.

[mockbel]

I think the guitar is tuned well.. Kirk himself went out of scale at second solo starting from 3:04 !!

Anyway... MetallicA are MetallicA... one of the best

[VanHalenTuxFan]

well it still sounds amazing out of tune or not.

[666Malevolence666]

When you're better than Metallica, you can complain about a mistake.

None of your garage no-body lamewad bands are half as good or successful as Metallica, hell you douches probably even poach riffs from Metallica.

Dropkicks.

[Metallica199393]

a little bit exaggerated but yes, you are right

[ThShaneC]

They didnt stuff the song lyrics up.... He started singing later on in the song... A real Metallica fan can pick something like that up. If you cant tell that he skipped a riff then you havnt listened much Metallica.

[ksr5610]

it is their song so i mean, arnt they aloud

[DeathAngelruler9]

they messed up the beginning and kirk added a bunch of random notes. show off lol.

[Mattroid89]

I think the extra notes make the solo sound better. I prefer to play it that way too.

[XxDARKNESSXxFALZXx]

they skipp like 50 lines in the beggin !

[xOBenzo92Ox]

More like 2-4.

[dragonpup1]

i also love from 5:11 onwards.

[dragonpup1]

i also did a cover and ma band won battle of the bands with it and we versed other schools and won.

[Mariaajf]

this is the best solo that kirk does of fade to black. in 08 wasnt so good

[TheRavenPK]

exactly this version of this song got me into guitar playing 2 years ago.. i had never listened music too much before, but after this song, i can't stand hour without music...

i can say, Fade to Black changed my life..

[Buggerme77]

This Is one of my top 3 favourite Metallica songs ever. I love the transitions in it, great cover song to play on drums live in clubs & pubs. It gets the crowd going absolutelly nuts. Thankyou METALLICA & KEEP ROCKIN'.

[thejudaskiss666]

They are incredible... I Love Kirk!! He's amazing at what he does....

[bterrell02]

this is the song i listen too to calm me down when im pissed.

i played this live with my band and almost cryed.

i was so mesmerized

[Metalmonsternr1]

Kirk rules that stage! one legendary solo !

[FallenGloryFan]

James' voice sounded amazing at the beginning of the song, too bad he messed up the lyrics though. Nevertheless, an awe-inspiring performance (Kirk was in the zone)!

[bterrell02]

actually about the beginning.

i think it sounds better that way with improved lyrics

he may have done that on purpose

[ttime720]

haha, thats funny but everyone makes mistakes live so you can't dock him for that

[zemlay]

who gives a shit if he messed up with the lyrics, its their song and their alloud to mess it up :P it sounded fine though even though he messed up. love Metallica

[rockyandspok]

KIRK'S ON FIRE MAN!!!!!!!!

[Dzekinsh]

go fuck youre self! :D this song is THE masterpeace! if u can better,then show... :p

[ttime720]

ya, let us know when you can do better live, studio or whenever because that will be never, so ya, i agree go fuck yourself

[RehGo]

Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else

[navylaks2]

High switched around lyrics did he not:)

[Hasselmyhoff]

This is by far there best song along with bells and four horsemen. \m/

[lukascarlsten]

hahaha frigging nice mistake in the beggining xD

[dryadssaddle]

check out my metallica video. they mess up the whole song

[cliffburton993]

it doesnt matter if he messed the lyrics its ok this way :D

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

[hahahomer]

[Eddieward2]

[MichaelKnight89pl]

[PoCkEtRoCkEt50]

[Eparky5]

[Tom86]

Ive give my right nut to see them live...

[metdude343]

James had this hair in 1999

[Finedotwrx]

his hair was longer and was darker in 1999.

[gpac200]

james has sick hair here

[BulletFrenzy543]

i friggin loved ratm and metallica at this concert ROCK ON!

[chazmanian12]

yeah rage was awesome!

[marinthiago]

awesome

[inter777]

They filmed the WHOLE set, James and Lars decided which songs they would allow Channel V to air.

[badboyboogie79]

He flat out forgot the lyrics. I was there went to 7 of the 9 shows they played that oz tour. and of all the songs to show they show this where Hetfield sings the wrong lyrics. There all smiling during the chorus, it was a great moment. They only filmed half the set. They missed Blackened, Creeping Death, Harvester Of Sorrow, Sanitarium, One, Sandman. No songs from Load or Reload.

Lars gave me a drum stick after this show il forget, Thank You Lars

Craig

[badboyboogie79]

SOMETHING IL NEVER FORGET, that should say. Oh you can see me in the moshpit right at the end thats awesome!!!!

[marinthiago]

metallica rocks

[snorkelman2]

inmyopinion james sings this best of all live songs, the other ones is like , 1337 and this one is 1338 ^^

[Rocknrollsoul101]

the 'tallica boys kick ass once again :D

[Sunflowersunshine]

this is FANTASTIC... easily my favourite metallica song... but Het doesn't sing it properly... he just repeats the first verse... oh well. Still awesome....
