[walungalele]

[methanoic80]

[Coldweb1385]

This is the song that if by 2012 the fucking world is going to end ... i wanna to hear as loud as possible ...Metallica is the shit and i'm 26 but i've been a fan since 91' ... bravo! for this master piece and keep rocking 'till the end of the world

[spoon00002]

RIP Cliff Burton.

[porronaire]

This is true history, and not global warming, Iraq war or the fucking crises. Come on..it is To Live is To Die live!!!!

[edgenail85]

This is FUCKING great! Who dares to say otherwise?

[shinjikari2411]

ohh ok that true hehehe srry ;)

[Giuzippper]

They played it, but not well... it seems to me that lars doesn't remember the parts order... ANYWAY FUCKING EPIC!

[shinjikari2411]

it's not the first time played live, it was played at seattle 1989 :)

[singemfrc]

@shinjikari2411 The song was not played in full in 1989, it was only played as part of the instrumental medley. This is the first time it was played live in full.

[AmazingVideos111]

@singemfrc this version is still incomplete. missing acoustic intro and outro. But that would probably require 10 acoustic guitars on stage to recreate that

[Losiu9]

@AmazingVideos111 There is a guy on YouTube who is playing this intro and the rest of the song on one guitar, so I think that Metallica would be able to do it.

[rockyourworld1967]

@singemfrc I saw it played in it's entirety in Hamilton, On, Canada in April 89 too! So wth are people going on about?

[spoon00002]

@rockyourworld1967 This is the first time it has ever been played in its entirety. I just pulled up the setlist from the concert you were at and there's no mention of it whatsoever.

[rockyourworld1967]

@spoon00002 Amazing because not only was I there to hear it, but also ran Canada's FIRST Metallica cover band called Damage Inc (so I think I'd know) but also went back to the hotel with James, Kirk +Sam I Am(their Canadian photographer) to party with them and said how cool it was they played it. Remember setlists don't always end up being played as expected OR written as they were played! How come on that list there's no mention of Mistreated, Little Wing or Paranoid, all of which they played?

[spoon00002]

@rockyourworld1967 Sorry, I was only going off what I knew, but I just thought I'd let you know that Metallica themselves think it's the first time they've played the song live, as it says on their Twitter " Metallica has hit the stage with the live debut of To Live is to Die!" and also on the livemetallica website, one of the show notes is "After 23 years, this was the live debut of To Live Is To Die." So I'm sorry I got mistaken, but as you can see, I had every right to be.

[rockyourworld1967]

@spoon00002 Absolutely! I just don't know why they're saying that? We'll go with that. It is believable that they haven't though, by the way they butcher this tune, sadly! Way to pay homage to Cliff boys >:I

[MessiahForce]

@singemfrc its not full where is the killer intro ? =0

[singemfrc]

@MessiahForce That is about 5 seconds after they started it, they didnt do the acoustic part, not even on tape. They just started at the point where the band comes in on those short quarter/eighth notes.

[cubby3o5]

@singemfrc I don't think it's eighth notes, I can play it.

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

@MessiahForce It's nearly impossible to do that segue live.

[gojirametallica]

@shinjikari2411 in completion

[MrFishook007]

@shinjikari2411 only partialy

[asa76mx]

@shinjikari2411 NOPE , NEVER COMPLETE UNTIL NOW

[hectorgrimreaper]

@shinjikari2411 it is the first time that they play it complete

[tallica4life07]

To Live Is to Die LIVE! Now i can die happy...

[DustAges]

@tallica4life07

I've been waiting for this for the past 22 years.

[DustAges]

...I wish they could play the intro and outro as well

[phantomlord966]

@tallica4life07 me too...

[methanoic80]

@tallica4life07 Hahaha mee 2

[Aenskyd]

@tallica4life07 I can't until they play My Friend of misery too

[asa76mx]

@Aenskyd ....YEP , I ALSO WAIT FOR MY FRIEND OF MISERY IN LIVE AND THE FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY ( BUT COMPLETE )

[tommapar88]

@tallica4life07 Now they have to fully play Am I Evil, Frayed Ends of Sanity, and Escape

[oldcomputer666]

@tommapar88 frayed ends of sanity they played at the 90s

[1996acdcfan]

@oldcomputer666 they have actually not played all of "the frayed ends...", only parts of it

[1996acdcfan]

@tommapar88 am i evil has been played full many times-628 in fact

[tommapar88]

@1996acdcfan yes but it's been a very long time since the last one

[Kakashirules85]

@tallica4life07 not without Escape and My Friend of Misery

[tallica4life07]

@Kakashirules85 My Friend Of Misery will be played on next couple of shows, becouse they will play full Black Album, and about Escape, I like it but i don't think they will play it becouse James said that he hate it.

[sperch3d]

Kirk, WTF????

You trashed it completely! :-(

[DustAges]

@sperch3d

I've never quite seen a guitarist decline so spectacularly as Kirk. In fact guitarist usually get better with time. Not only he wasn't able to produce a decent solo in decades, but he totally lost interest in them and now I can see he has serious memory loss problems as well. He should've let James play that solo, as originally on the studio album. Or me, I swear I can play that solo more accurately than him. What a pity, all his solos on Justice were brilliant.

[darkeekeels]

Fuck yeah, to live IN LIVE!!!!!!!!!

[BlokeMan07]

Dave Mustaine would have never ruined the solo........

[gojirametallica]

@BlokeMan07 dave mustaine can't even play this solo

[Giuzippper]

@gojirametallica i think that when they recorded this song, dave was recording so far so good so what.. what do you expect him to play? rofl

[Vacency146]

@BlokeMan07 dave is not in Metallica now is he

[ruletero87]

are they going to make a DVD from this 4 epic days of concert?

[gojirametallica]

@ruletero87 i hope so

[12datho]

Who the fuck care about a few mistakes? They played this legendary song for the first time in it's entirely! I think it's perfect \m/

[basssican]

Good to hear it but they need to practice

[J7Birdzilla]

This is not the first time Metallica has played To Live Is To Die Live! They use to play it during the Guns n Roses/Metallica tour! The also use to play some of the guitar parts every night during the Justice tour. Definitely cool though to see them bust it out again.

[amjan]

@J7Birdzilla They only played a small part of it on the GnR tour.

[sandman4asleep]

kirk ruined the solo :(

[alastor923]

fuck yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

[10100uglykid]

Few fuck ups but then again it is a damn hard song and the first time its been played live. Good effort I say.

[basssican]

too many mistakes :/ and technical problems

[jkjl234]

god fucking damn it kirk. just ruin the whole fucking song. damn it

[XxMETALLICAFAN9xX]

@jkjl234 first time they played it man

[jkjl234]

@XxMETALLICAFAN9xX yeah, but still. this is metallica. metallica is metallica. if they are gonna play one of there best songs ever, for this first time in over 20 years, learn the freakin solos kirk! :)

[XxMETALLICAFAN9xX]

@jkjl234 but dude, think about it. they have a lot to do to prepare for the show learning each solo perfectly takes time and they did the best they could with such little rehearshing

[XxMETALLICAFAN9xX]

@XxMETALLICAFAN9xX they don't have time to be going through every bit of the song

[jkjl234]

@XxMETALLICAFAN9xX they should make time: THIS IS METALLICA!

[jkjl234]

@XxMETALLICAFAN9xX this is true. i love that they played this shit, it was amazing. but THIS IS METALLICA! fans will always scrutinize every part of their performances. especially with this song. and with a band like metallica, that was SO GOOD back in the day, and that is now not so good, you can't expect true fans to let this slide. i love kirk, always will, but he fucked up pretty bad on this song.

[brlucerojr81981]

hell yeh!

[TheMVF75]

Magical !!!!!! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us !

[mavs2147]

Thanks!



[mavs2147]

I have been waiting for this song forever!

[Kipex]

Way beyond awesone and epic... except for the solos :( Come on Kirk, do your homework! This song isn't something you improvise random stuff over pff.

[SSSoM3]

@Kipex Well, the biggest shame is that James didnt play his solo, Kirk just mumbled something on similiar scales ;/

[Kipex]

@SSSoM3 True true.

[lookralphsbak]

Thanks for uploading! \m/

[ujuststolemylife]

First of all, before I state my opinion, I would like to say that im the biggest fan of them. I almost shit my pants when I looked through the setlist, but when I heard this, I was a bit disappointed about the solos, that's about it...

Kick ass, Metallica :) !

[MrZombow]

Almost made me cry! Beautiful song and I really hope they play this one more live! It's heavy, awesome, beautiful and makes us all think of Cliff and how brilliant he was. Rest in Peace Cliff, we all miss you very much!

[Fatzers]

ace :)

hey do you have The Memory Remains, or any of songs with Lou Reed?

[singemfrc]

@Fatzers The first night I was on the rail so I got a lot of video..Wednesday I was roaming the pits so it was much harder to film. I only filmed this and Breadfan in full. My friend got Just A Bullet Away and part of Mercyful Fate.

[Fatzers]

@singemfrc oh i see, ok cheers :)
