[monamOneX]

1:36 love how he sings MY FINGERS grip with fear :D and then 2:34 <3 One of the best Ride The Lightning performances

[jminhumane69]

To everybody that said james lost his voice 2:35 shut you the fuck up didn't it?

[Hallodaar432]

KIRK ON \m/

[DrZen007]

2:35 indeed gives the chills

Hetz <3

just the epitome of awesomness

(and a table)

\m/

[MetallicAdicction]

:megusta: en HD! x)!

[MegaGrody]

ive seen so many live versions of ride the lightning, but this is my favorite, mostly because of the epic OH Yeah at 3:34, gives me chills every time

[zwareshag]

@MegaGrody you fuckin right 2:35 = A thing of beauty

[MegaGrody]

@zwareshag yeah, i made a typoe, i meant 2:35, i wish he would do that more

[metallicelmo]

@MegaGrody , Absolutely awesome performance, I'm glad I was there ..

[MegaGrody]

@metallicelmo you just made me so jealous

[redbeast86]

this has got to be my favourite version of ride the lightning by far

[xOBenzo92Ox]

THIS IS FUCKING HEAVY.

[gpadp]

Geeeeez, Holland wake up please, you probably won't get another chance to see them. Fucking hippies...

[MarikHawk]

Amazing aye,

That all that dutch audiance can stand still like that on Metallica.

Freaking noobs.

MAKE A BIIIIG CIRCLE PIT!

[xxweaponsxx123]

@MarikHawk Ya i live in the Netherlands but i saw them like 4 times... And the audiance went crazy, but this is Pinkpop (weird name actually) a lot of people are performing on Pinkpop, I think the audiance didn't came for Metallica but some other crazy pop bands :S

[MarikHawk]

@xxweaponsxx123 Agree man totally,

I Saw them at Gelredome 2006.

They we're awesome, And we went crazy!!

I so wanna see them again!

Maybe ill meet ya on the next gig:P

[dzjeezeskraist]

3:40 like a boss...

[drinkspecials]

Metallica is our generation's Rolling Stones. They dont have to put out another album and could tour and sell out for the rest of their lives. But I am so happy that they do put out new material of course. Glad they are sticking together too, it was touch n go on "Some kind of Monster".

[trolololololo8]

hell yeahhh!!

[MrKostallica]

kirk's solo is the best solo in metal history

[LarsJunior18]

@MrKostallica actually the solo was dave's originally for this song.

[CCStunna]

@MrKostallica agreed

[kenzhin50]

4:05 MetalicA the only band that can make u headbang like that in 2008...

[Razorback613]

This is how James' voice sounds when they don't tour all the time. This is why Metallica needs to just do like 1 week per month of shows (even their current limited 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off is too much for his voice). Of course he still has the voice, it just degrades as they tour.

[boyo416]

aeeeee i don't daeeeee......one evil spirit $ Will killhim...buuuuu..Fear of the dark

[JeanMetallicA]

James Hetfield Will Never Die!!!

[myjizzureye]

@JeanMetallicA Er...he did indeed die....what are you spastic?

[AndersAagaard]

2:34 - I get fucking goosebumps every single time!

[ragnaroksama]

[buefordwilson]

Ross Halfin at the beginning!

[dougmilne27]

i love this band, alot, but i cant watch stuff from the earlier times, then watch this, just not as extreme as they used to be

having said that, how many other bands last 30 years and are still as god damn awesome as day one... metallica are still the musicians i worship dude.

[MrCjavierc]

aguante metallica!!!!!!!!!!

[MrCjavierc]

[MisterMashburn]

Its amazing that he can still sing their older songs even better in my opinion than he did on the album.

[MetVids]

OH YEAHHHH!! BEST EVER!

[verotallica]

one of my favorite ride the lightning live, perfect !!!

[WhenWorldsCollide91]

Ross Halfin in the beginning?

[sepi666neo]

[rcdwnl]

@sepi666neo pinkpop is one of the biggest rock show of holland man lady gaga never performd here

in that year rise against the machine, foo fighters, eagels of death metal and queens of stone age played a show ther

in the history of this festival van halen, pearl jam, iggy pop, red hot chilli pepers, korn, limp bizkit ans system of a down played here shows so no fucking place for fucking gaga

[sepi666neo]

[RYCAguitar]

[txpleazer]

I SO MISS THIS SONG!! 3:56 GET IT LARS!!!!!!!!!!

[txpleazer]

I SO MISS THIS SONG!!

[Emeilio]

I like this more than the studio version, cuz James got an beter "bass" voice in this performance! MetallicA \,,/

[issa9]

bass is heavier in this show, I like it way more this way.

[Marcobalt]

Rob Should regrow that beard.

[randyana]

Pink Pop!!?? what in the world???

[KoreXocution]

4:39 Ahahaha who's screams that decrepit DIE!!!!!! then....I lost my shit

[bbryan10]

@KoreXocution hahahxD

i think its rob cuz i believe he's the only backing vocal and kirk realy cant sing

[xOBenzo92Ox]

GOOD GOD.

[xMetallicaHoLic]

Vocals- perfect

Drums- perfect

Solo- PERFECT

 what more can you ask for???

MetallicA FOREVER!!

[toadallyscuba]

James ROCKED the singing and the crowd SUCKED BALLS

[Ruckel2008]

Trujillo is a monster on stage. power.

[Pavl0ve]

Robert Made Metallica more STRONG !

[joppe1222222231]

is it picks on his mic stand?

[Elbometallica]

@joppe1222222231 yes

[heighv]

@joppe1222222231 yep those are picks

[drumcoverz98]

The crowds really suck these days......

[IHaveNoRealUsername]

@drumcoverz98 there was no mic picking up the crowd on some songs

on Nothing else matters, Seek and destroy and The Memory remains, they're quite good

[musicmasterliam]

gah that solo was FLAWLESS!

[rattler706]

their best riff ever

[LordWindson]

0:00 Ross Halfin

[danielflasher95]

the only thing this video missed was that kirk was not in a very good shape, thats just my opinion though...everything else was pure thrash headbanging!

[JustCauseVids]

@danielflasher95 i know its just ure opinion m8 but i think kirk grabbed that guitars balls twisted, pulled them off and threw them into the crowd!

[danielflasher95]

@JustCauseVids jeje, possibly XDD!

[Z4rlock]

Best perfomance of this song in my opinion

[icpfan2112]

james cant scream like he used to...he still sounds great though lol.

[leobovio]

MetallicA é foda!!

[BearGrylIs]

god damn lars is violent on those drums lol "MOTHERFUCKER I TEACH YOU HOW TO SOUND GOOD!!!" xD

[capnkdawg]

This is the best performance of 2008...I remember the first time I saw it, I was like "Holy shit!" Death Magnetic was about to come out and everyone was getting all excited cuz this sounded so good and everyone was all stoked about "the new album" I can't wait until their next one comes out...they are still kicking ass and I want the new one, I wish James could pick out of all the 83433728569877388 riffs he has recorded already!

[nickzilbersher5927]

I <3 Kirks flame guitar!!!! :D

[wiggs333]

[blayzed87]

@Sinatra1297  rob

[nickzilbersher5927]

@blayzed87 I thought it sounded like lars

[CRAZYMETALHEADSILVER]

2:50 - 4:20 Amazing METALLICA FTW

[asdertyl5]

[1p0rnstar]

Wow look the tapping part in solo :o

[triggermetal]

[MegaMave]

@triggermetal James is doing a little dance, haha.

[MrAlejobla]

[Alukart117]

He sounds like hes getting his old voice back a lil

[MrAlejobla]

es el solo mas largo dura 1:29 no conosco uno mas largo

[MrAlejobla]

es el solo mas largo???

[bacheirooni1]

2:12 james sang it differently in the studio version cuz he could actually reach those notes when he was younger

[SuperVicioGame]

I Love This Song ;)

[snakegotgrenades95]

METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!

[Gamerjeffery12]

m freind actually has this on DVD its called metallica live Eroupe 2008

[manilapower]

metallica shouldn't be allowed to play in broad daylight, the belong to the night

[guitarmen66]

it was in the evening, just in the sommer and then the sun is going under very late

sorry for my bad english

[nmillwater33]

yeah i agree

[chilenoscio]

perfecto!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cooper25000]

si!!!!!

[illusionFTW]

great performance

[MrAlejobla]

el feroz solo que tiene esta cancion

[pollywoggle24]

Omg this is so fast. That's insane these old dudes just melt my face off.  I wish I could see em live. I missed em in both Nashville and New Orleans, hate it.

[MattUtd]

One of the best performances of this song I ever heard!

[xzide1]

@MattUtd its not ONE of the best performances of the song... it IS the best performance of the song :P

[alejoytb]

btw look at james in 4:20 , you can see he enjoys when lars begins to play double bass so lars play double bass still, he is not the best but he does what he wants hehehehe and he and metallica rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alejoytb]

remembering what i saw in death magnetic making of ,,, now is difficult to reach higher notes for james and he needs to try several times, i think he sing less with the guittar than when he is only singing,,, more difficult, cant give attention to his voice because he is playing the guittar at the same time

[kinglouie319]

wow that was a great solo

[Antoonbackx]

pause it at 0:06. Rob looks like he's going to attack Lars! great performance btw!

[Met6661982]

Epic Solo

[alejoytb]

james sings very well on this performance!!!!

[Gamez4Lif3]

I think he's finally learned to sing with this voice and it sounds awesome :@ :D

[AsphixiA666]

@alejoytb I definitely agree

[malv8]

@alejoytb he sings this song pretty well for a change

[CCStunna]

@malv8 used to sing it way better, but this is still good.

[Ms0zi]

I love how james hetfiled moves his head at 0:26 lol Funny !

[mRtReMeLo]

He's a movin' to the groovin'

James! \mm/ <-- too much metal for one hand.

[KeepTheHellfireLit]

The bass sounds amazing. Go Rob T !

[Jpprflrp]

The best Metallica bassist so far!

[aaronnekke]

pause it and go to 3:21 the scary side of kirk 0.O

[monamOneX]

@aaronnekke more like he's having an orgasm ! ;)

[mt9500]

james voice sounds good in this song

[Jpprflrp]

They cut the crowd out of the sound fucktard.

It was on tv.

[Freestyleforcerer]

You sir, are an idiot.

[Daniel513555]

What?

[adeninguaninsitozin]

2:36 - 2:39 magnificent scream

[MrMalf]

best band with on of their best songs

thrash in perfection....cant get enough of it

[imdamindfreak]

yeaahh its tuned down ..

[fukbyoch]

Doesn't it sound too slow? For some reason, it sounds slower than the original album version.

[Tharonja265]

Tuned down a half step ? ;)

[o0guitardude0o]

4:51 - 5:06 that's a lot of people doing the same thing :D

[SomeGuy578]

Yeah Impressive crowd

[Shaftlidge]

hey I gotta say they look bad ass. Was it cold at the day of the show? they're wearing more then usual.

[gunsnrosesromance123]

nowadasys u can see metallica concerts in pro shot footage all the time

[nathantim]

Jesusmasterninja, I think Kirk has been married since his Exodus days before Metallica.

[caimanque]

theres no mic on the crowd, thats why you can barely hear them

[gandhee]

awesome

[younghatter]

What is on Kirk's guitar??

[monamOneX]

I love the faces Kirk makes during the solo ! This shows that he's playing it with a lot of feeling ! =)

[monamOneX]

Kirk is the one ! I mean I love every one from Metallica but sometimes he impresses me very much !

[Jesusmasterninja]

I noticed in the One video Kirk had his wedding ring on. How long has he been married?

[sykophiend]

James killed this song. He's not good. Don't lie to yourself. There's NO BALLS behind this.

[scottish8x]

fuck you

[apollo14444]

euro crowds are shitty thank god metallica filmed its dvd in mexico city, this guys need a fix of some faggot band pronto because they just dont feel metallica music like us latinoamericans!

[reverb1969]

Amazing!!! They kick ass !!!! james sounded really good, but i could have done without the yell at 2:36

[MetallicaFran]

look at 2:36 how is that possible??!?!?!?! in this show i don't hear jame's voice singing too forced but in tone and good why he isn't like this show everytime?

[judoman25]

maby because, of this show there comes an live dvd? and the other shows arnt dvd's that everybody watches?

[rasuk]

[MeatFeastLive]

His best performance after rehab? Yes!

[jasontippmann98]

[snowiswow]

[JAB0NK0]

[LowFide]

0:55 OMG His voice!!! Sounds alot like '84!

[TheDemeaning]

Yeah dude. So much. That's awesome.

[Jesusmasterninja]

[Stephendonalddixon]

James needs to bring his hair. I love this band! Lars and Kirk are fantastic. Robert your fine too!

[Stephendonalddixon]

Lot's of fuel left in this band. Metallica rules!

[Clike666ness]

[metallicaaddict94]
