Metallica w/ Geezer Butler - Sabbra Cadabra (Live in San Francisco, December 10th, 2011)

[Damzelbum]

One of the coolest songs of all time. Geezer being there is immense. My favorite bass player of all time.

[iSeeRed666]

lars's face :)

[briantoronto666]

Is this show going to come out on blu ray or dvd .? OR is it already ? Classic

[krca94]

I like that they didn't drop this song for a half step,like the other songs.

[enplugg]

Lars needs to practise his timing...

[DDentonas]

Oh my god! It's William Murderface!

[horriblequin]

@DDentonas but more talented and they don't unplug his bass XD

[LeKerstman]

geezer fuckin butler

[captivus13]

ITS IN E YOU IDIOT.

CursedMachinee

[TomaxMindbender]

Pretty goddamn nice camera work! seriously, not being sarcastic

[glaukorn1]

This shit is fucking very low.

Brasil is here.

[Horzagiar]

Geezer Butler and Jason Newsted are the reasons why I started to play bassguitar. Now after 7 years since my start I admit that I am not good of it at all but it's still nice to play.

[PsychoViking33]

@Horzagiar Geezer and Cliff were the reasons I started playing bass.

[khashayargovahi]

That`s awesome! I fuckin` love this shit!

[MrGGAaron]

I hate James

[CROGrof]

@MrGGAaron I hate you.

[CrucesNegras]

WHO THE FUCK NEEDS RO KNOW IF THE RUNING IS RIGHT OR NOT??? IT'S GEEZER BUTLER THERE!!!! /,,/

[TheMadmen2010]

GEEZER IS CRAZYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[EldubeG25]

What the fuck is that fucking debate about the tuning here? No need to ask if you cant here the difference : black ESP explorer w/ white pickguard and black Jackson RR3 means D Tuning (Sad But True, Seek And Destroy(live),, anyone?)

[Jacobcob90]

geezer fuckin rules

[adrulea]

Is it just me or is hetfield stoned/drunk? :)) haven't seen him like that in a LONG time!

[wertyuioman]

@adrulea what makes you say that?

[maganashi]

@adrulea He's just high on the rush. Not uncommon.

[BlackSabbath1776]

@adrulea

Haha, I could see why you'd think that. He does seem like he could be stoned. Hell yeah!

[MasterofKnees]

@adrulea He is just excited, imagine playing with all of these guests and knowing that the Mustaine reunion is coming up, he sure had a reason to be excited.

[2304TheMetalhead]

GEEZER BUTLER is like my greatfather ¡¡¡The best bass player togheter with Steve Harris!!!

[TheAudioman666]

what the fuck are you talking about?GEEZER BUTLER IS ON THE F***ING STAGE!!!

[johead22]

yeah I get it, but to call a song on weed a love song, seriously? and don't you think you exagerating a bit when you say the beatles couldn't write a better love song? I like Sabbath but come on!

[donSparda]

Am i the only one who thinks that Sabbra Cadabra is Sabbath`s best song?

[sifionbr]

@donSparda I think you are one of the very few who thinks that... Sabbra Cadabra is a great song, but not their best IMO.

[10laughungtears]

Ah man if Cliff was alive, he'd be so happy to be playing with Geezer, cause Geezer was Cliff's idol.

[TheShepster80]

kirk and james use those guitars for D tuned songs.

[TheFrontroomstudio]

Its sad but true tuning,thats D G C F A D

[asdgjasdjghw3h]

I don't like "love songs" by Black Sabbath so much. I don't know, to me, this is them trying to sing a Beatle song with Black Sabbath sound (I love the sound, but not the lyrics at all)

[NotSober100]

@asdgjasdjghw3h FAIL, you heard of a song called Sweet Leaf?. well that's a love song that The Beatles could never dream of writing

[asdgjasdjghw3h]

@NotSober100 Sweet Leaf is not a boy / girl love song. This song is the black sabbath version of a beatles boy girl lovesong...

[NotSober100]

@asdgjasdjghw3h did i say boy/girl?, people can love other thing besides other people lol

[asdgjasdjghw3h]

@NotSober100 listen to the lyrics. It is a boy girl sexual romantic relationship they are singing about. Then listen to the rest of the songs, it just does not *fit* Black Sabbath.

[johead22]

@NotSober100 lol A love song?

[NotSober100]

@johead22 uh ya? "I LOVE YOU SWEET LEAF"??

[DarkJpower14]

@asdgjasdjghw3h Idd.

[asdgjasdjghw3h]

@DarkJpower14 ?

[SuperSquishface]

@asdgjasdjghw3h

Well they did about peace & love quite a lot...

[asdgjasdjghw3h]

@SuperSquishface I just dislike this song and St. Vitus Dance two songs about BOY GIRL Love not peace and love. If you listen to all of their studio stuff, you'll see few of them are about a BOY GIRL romance. The other I can think of is on Technical Ecstasy 'She's Gone" but that's not really a BOY GIRL romance... I can listen to Beatles for Boy Girl Romance, imo, that just does not fit into heavier sounding downer rock & roll...

[planetbintang]

look closely how Geezer Butler fingering his bass... epic!!

[HackSlashKill]

Cliff would have loved to play with Geezer, and you know... Cliff wouldn't have cut his hair

[bleekblock]

@HackSlashKill Cliff could have gone bald like Lars did.

[michikuTV]

geezer is an amazing bassit,i love GZR band,is so heavy

sabbra cadabra baby!!!!

[leahcimrac]

Was Iommi here?

[jfkdjfd]

I love Kirk's Jackson. Just because it is old, and he still uses it. I am not a fan of the RR though.

[heaveninhell100]

Trujillo, podria dejar de hacer poses en metallica y tocar el bajo encerio como lo hacia en INFECTIOUS GROOVE, que demuestre lo que sabe hacer, GEEZER BUTLER es el bajista

[marcio1979ramalho0]

I was in the Monsters of Rock 1995 in São Paulo/Brazil:Ozzy(with Geezer),Megadeth,Alice Cooper,Faith no More,Paradise Lost,Clawfinger,Therapy? and Ratablanca.

[Epidemiax19]

FUCKING YEAH ROBERT HE IS OUR GOD , GEEZER IS OUR GOD

[zwareshag]

0:21 LOL!!

[milev83]

metallica sucs fuc.... narcos  HEAVRN AND HEL RULES in this part, song they are hellllllll hahahahahahahahhahahahaa need a drugsstop hahahahahahaa

[SEVENFOLD1301]

thank u

[guitarplayer6262]

LOVE THIS SONG?? NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN!!!!

[CursedMachinee]

hey guys, THIS IS D TUNNIG, why are you saying it is in E? look where are they playing, how it sound and shit, its D tunning

[durpdedumb]

@CursedMachinee my ear isnt fully developed but im pretty sure thats d# tuning, down a half step across the whole fret board. sabbath is notorious for that

[CursedMachinee]

@durpdedumb just watch where is playing james and kirk, maybe geezer ins playing it in E, but james and kirk played this in fucking D

[UrukTheRed]

@CursedMachinee As I understand it, in the early days when Tony would tune to C#, Geezer was still in E and just playing 3 frets lower.

[CursedMachinee]

@UrukTheRed but james and kirk are playing in D tunning!!! maybe geezer not e.e

[UrukTheRed]

@CursedMachinee That's what I'm saying, even though guitars would be tuned down, Geezer would stay in E and just play the riffs in different spots, like James could've hit an open 6th string which would be a D note (since he's tuned to D), and Geezer would have to hit the note on the 5th fret of the A string because he's in standard tuning.

[CursedMachinee]

@UrukTheRed aaahh ok xD, now i understand, i speak spanish jaja, sorry

[ozzandmadman21]

@CursedMachinee maybe it's beceause ozzy sang so high back then.........NO?? i mean in 1973.

[CursedMachinee]

@ozzandmadman21 maybe xD, in that time he got LE FUCKING VOICE

[runehater666]

looks like a damn great gig (read this in redneck voice :D)

[laertecm]

Why i wasnt there :(((((((((((((((((((((

[diegolas666]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSS

[irwin3036able]

Metallica should play this live with Dave Mustaine, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bob Rock, and Hugh Tanner. :)

[BlackChapelDeluxe]

I've watched alot of your vid's of this event. And realized everytime each song kicks in, the volume lowers and raises back when the songs over. Thanks guy.

[Dsrtpnk28]

all of these legends, man....where is cliff!! fuck!!!! puts tears in my eyes man....just imagine him being here playing this show...damn >_<

[Kakooo03]

what a horrible audience.. you're so ungrateful for have this awesome artist just right in front of you and the only thing you're doing is recording? are you fucking kidding me? the should came to argentina for their anniversary! in argentina we know how to apreciate the big bands!

AGUANTE ARGENTINA CARAJO!

[666ivica]

@Kakooo03 I am grateful that this guy has recorded it! Otherwise nobody here could enjoy this awesome performance! Instead of picking at him say "THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!" Cheers and enjoy this vid

[Kakooo03]

@666ivica i can see like 200 cameras on this video. in argentina nobody is filming! everybody is enjoying the show! that's why we're the best crowd ever! you people seems like you were bored in the show! i can't believe this! whit this artist on stage nobody could get bored!

[astrape]

@Kakooo03 Mmm is true, but, thanks to that, you can see right now. :)

[harryorhell]

Hey AGUANTE !! No offense but I've been all over South America with my band DRI (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) & from my experience EVERYBODY in South America has cameras !!! Every single person I meet wants to take a photo with me or one of my bandmates !! Not to mention 100's of video cameras when we play down there !! So you shouldn't bitch about all the cameras !! If nobody taped the damn thing ...YOU wouldn't have EVER gotten to see the BEST METALLICA SHOWS I have EVER seen !!

[HarryJohnstonA]

Geezer Buttler and Trujillo! OMFG!

[Pablo34643]

Lars you are such a fucken twat !!!

[razonsinrazon]

TRUJILLO SUCKS

[irwin3036able]

Imagine how epic it would be if they Metallica performed with Dave Mustaine, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and JASON FUCKIN NEWSTED at the same time. :)

[CannibaLouiST]

man how long havent geezer play this two songs?

[blablabloly]

@CannibaLouiST I think that they have never been performed since 1974 or 1975. =D

[MrAzat20]

lars, you've a massive drumkit, leave the goddamn snare alone, stop hitting it like a maniac, please!

[MrGuitarMike]

Rob, your are a hero to!

[Roolek]

You can see James was a little anxious before the song... It's an honor to play with a legend and an idol such as Geezer even though James is already a legend himself!

[TopRamenKickAss]

why didn't ozzy sing this? he sang iron man and paranoid...

[bookworm1138]

@TopRamenKickAss thing is, this medley is two songs from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album, which was played in C#. Metallica is actually tuning their guitars higher than the original, and Ozzy can't sing that high anymore (which is why they play "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" in D rather than E)

[NobesBLO13]

@TopRamenKickAss he probably doesn't remember the lyrics. He uses a teleprompter when he performs, or at least he use to.

[panxohammettt]

are they going to put this show on dvd?

[dbyo88]

Incredible! 

[geezer771]

i am geezer

[BigBi90]

I geez'd in my pants :D

[matias87ar]

geezer butler is what ANY bassist in he world should aim to be

[KaineOfficial]

A National Acrobat inspired Fade to Black



[lajuliabarrera]

Geezer: bassist from hell!!! :)

[manguy2000]

I can't believe how many bassists were on stage over the four nights, haha. Geezer, Newsted, Trujillo, McGovney, Bob Rock, Cliff in spirit.

[stony911]

we´ve just got geezered

[0adireita]

1:32 fast and always : )

[RexBasiliscus]

No, this is in D. You can see that Kirk's playing on the guitar he uses for Sad But True live, which is in D, and James is using the same guitar he uses for Seek and Destroy, which they play in D live as well.

[m1che1]

Sounds better with two bassists.

[mehlliont]

where's tommi???

[whatthefluk]

Geezer is a God! Too bad Iommi wasn't there. Two Legends joining Metallica on stage would have been sweet!

[GangstaLink]

@whatthefluk Oh, god. I would've LOVED that.

[Cazz8203]

lol at James.....it happens.....great performance anyways.....wish when they did all this guest guitar and bass player stuff Robert or Kirk would step out for a few

[n0minombre]

Geezer looks really bored

[GangstaLink]

@n0minombre I doubt it. Geezer probably hasn't played that song live since, well since 1975.

[n0minombre]

@GangstaLink But he does look bored... or maybe he was really into it

[beserker1912]

@GangstaLink Sabbra cadabra was last played in 75 and A national acrobat was played not very many times at all. Thats geezers stage presence though. You can tell when he's enjoying himself by how he attacks the strings. -From a big Geezer Fan. lol.

[Stamaleon]

i think thats not E with this guitars they play sad but true and black sabbath don t play E iommy plays D for sure

[empirikal09]

Metallica finally playing in E again!

[ice7771]

@empirikal09 D standard here i'm afraid, same as the studio cover on garage inc though

[ZdRipper88]

@empirikal09 No, it looks like this song is in D.

[SKARKIBANEZ]

In studio only...

[beserk27]

@empirikal09

On Black Sabbath's songs in their 30th anniversary Metallica played in D.

[CastAirLead]

@empirikal09 Is it in E? Original is C standard and Metallicas in D standard lol

[JasonicIR8]

@empirikal09 yessssss exactlyyyy :) cool

[BigBi90]

@empirikal09 they play it D !

[orionhellraiser]

@empirikal09 actually they are playing in D on this song like they have done it since they recorded it

[TDBmusic1]

@empirikal09 This song is actually played in D standard dude... :P

[jew25624]

@empirikal09 thats D buddy hate to break it to ya

[SP1D3RMAN75]

@empirikal09 Im suprised im not the only who wants that so badly

[colosalguitarist]

@empirikal09 they only play e flat live anyway

[cubby3o5]

@empirikal09 Actually they covered this in D on that cover album,I forgot what it was called,and this sounds like the same tuning. Besides, the original Black Sabbath version was C#, playing it in E would be insane.

[Ventsolo]

@cubby3o5 In d tuning its played in the key of b. tuning it to E would mean playing it in a.

[Fraguero1990]

@empirikal09 yeiya but some songs :/ i wish the will play all old songs in e "OLD SONGS kill em all to black album"

[chabomorphosis]

@empirikal09 All the "Death Magnetic" album is in E, brother :D

[IwillbeWaiting]

@chabomorphosis

I`m pretty sure All Nightmare Long isn`t

[RnFnR95]

@chabomorphosis except All Nightmare Long, its in drop D

[Abyssvx]

@empirikal09 It's in D you tone deaf idiot.

[empirikal09]

@Abyssvx fuck you bitch

[Abyssvx]

@empirikal09 Don't get emotional.

[keefriff99]

Geezer Butler is a monster bassist...what a badass.

[LanciaTurbo]

@keefriff99 While Trujillo is fucking great and all.... he should have stepped aside for Geezer on this one....

[elusionsansert]

Thanks for filming!

[r4d3cki]

2:14 lol

[XblCheeseofdeath2008]

James fucked up the lyrics something terrible

[vergilg]

@XblCheeseofdeath2008 Ya? Want a perfect show? Go listen to the record.

[XblCheeseofdeath2008]

@vergilg Shut the fuck up

[papahetz]

Pure moment of Rock N roll!
