Metallica - Fade to Black Live at Ozzfest 2008

[ILOVELA23]

4:15 james is like oh yea

[naknak95]

5:38 EPIC BASS

[ghostmarine216]

Lars makes the ugliest faces lol

[OMGLOOKiHaveNoName]

james hetfield used to look like the lion from the wizard of oz

[Oldskool01Hakken]

This is a legendary song but kirk always seems to fuck it up. He ruins it by not being able to hit the notes properly. A good guitarist would have it down pat by now. Fuck man this song is from 84!!!!!!!!!!!

[conker2021]

@Oldskool01Hakken its called improvisation dumbass

[kranen1]

@Oldskool01Hakken How fun would it be to play exactly the same solo every time? I never play a solo twice.

[Oldskool01Hakken]

@kranen1 so now your telling me that's not a mistake! Both of you are fuckin mad!!!!!!! It's a fucking mistake end of story.

[kranen1]

@Oldskool01Hakken Hehe, my mistake xD Kirk often does that actually, missing notes and stuff. First thought you were talking about improvising.

[AFIROCK100]

@Oldskool01Hakken Make songs isn't easy....

Make a solo is So Hard......

Fuck you Man.......

[kane916]

@Oldskool01Hakken he does it on purpose when i play this song i do it too. i pretty much do it so its like every live video of this song mixed up

[monkeydonuts246]

LONG LIVE METALLICA!!!!!!!

[shark5297]

good song...horrible video quality on ur part

[bakerXderek]

that looks epic as fuck !!!

[RZEZNIK1512]

ever notice now they are older they play their songs half a step down

[Metallica7000o]

@RZEZNIK1512 they play down for james' vocal pitch. his voice has gotten alot deeper over the past years

[bonscottrocks]

@Metallica7000o but in the last couple of years, his voice has started getting higher again.

[changeofpace405]

God. That Cherry red LP makes me skeet.

[petsematarykeeper]

most memorable metallica moment personally.

by the time they came on..i was dying of thirst...my legs were fucking hurtin..and my back too...but once they came on with Creeping Death to open it up...all that went away...

[XChevyImpalaX]

I was there it rocked! Metallica! Helll yeahh

••anyone know of any future ozzfest••?••

[tgugdevil]

KirK Hammett is GOD!!!

[hardrockerdkr]

goin to see them august 6th for the 1st time, i cant fuckin wait

[torwyn]

@hardrockerdkr Where are they going to be then? They haven't posted a show for that date yet.

[hardrockerdkr]

theyre not going anymore i was gonna go but thwey changed the bands:(

[posingmarco]

WTF?! dude, the crowd got METALLICA in their fucking faces and they fucking don't trash and scream! :O...thats freakin ridiculus men!

[DonR94]

HAHA. the crowed sucks balls.

[daniel52587]

I was there. And I was HIGH AS FUCK!

[NIXSTER95]

@daniel52587

DUDE so was i !!

[mrmetallica85]

@daniel52587 me too brother hahahaa

[MrCokein13]

that crowd sucked dick!.

[daniel52587]

The venue is really small. It is a soccer stadium and the field was split into halves. 3/4 of the crowd were at their seats. Its not like their was a million of us down in the pit to make shit go crazy.... plus a lot of us were toking it up.

[nightm913]

i was there front row, and the crowd was insane, they were louder then metallica... its probably just the audio on this vid.

[DreamWorks39]

really XD, that crowd sucked :P

[steveo2619]

otherwise its good. i not doggin metallica i love em

[steveo2619]

Not very good sound quality. bass is fuzzy.

[gangstaspongebob1]

Geez enough with the endorsing.... Yeah they use ESP

s but they both use Gibsons 2.

James: Gibson: Les Paul, Flying V, SG (The Grinch retards) ESP : Custom Truckster, Explorer

Kirk : Gibson : Les Paul, Explorer ESP : Custom KH  Jackson: Not Sure I think he used a Randy Rhoads Custom before.

[carmelocj15]

The Grynch is an ESP. He used a Randy Rhoads guitar around Master of Puppets era. He uses it down for songs that are down tuned, such as Sad but True.

[MegaPhuckYou]

Kirk uses the Flying V more then James and since when did kirk use the explorer?

[gangstaspongebob1]

I think seek and destroy, its like a tradition or sumthin (gibson explorer)

[EnjoiSKK8ing]

kirk is using a less paul..

[HardcoreMetallicaFan]

i love kirks guitars

[ilovesportsbaby2]

that guitar looks nice. and small too.

[JMMGReviews]

both of you are retards its a gibson dipshit

[GontierX3]

perfect........... that what can i sed

[MadeInNorthAmerica]

Metallica will always be the kings of Metal

[AFIROCK100]

@MadeInNorthAmerica Black Sabbath-The Gods of Metal

MetallicA-The Kings of Metal

Justin Bieber-The God of the Gays

[FFX445]

@AFIROCK100 sorry but i think that calling justin bieber gay is offensive... TO FREDDY MERCURY TO ROB HALFORD AND MIKE PATTON all of them legends and assumed gay, music that sucks doesn't mean its gay

so justin bieber is not gay music... its suck music the music you use when you wanna feel or be known by others a retard

[AFIROCK100]

@AFIROCK100 True,,,,,,,,

Freddy is still the best!

Rob Halford is awesome!!

So Justin is the queen of the barbies.....

[twinzo123]

@MadeInNorthAmerica they're not the kings, theyre the ALMIGHTY KINGS OF ROCK ....

get it right dude , lol :)

[ILOVELA23]

@twinzo123 the aint rock they metel get it right : )

[pspisser]

Afdonier R u retarded? It's en ESP eclipse you dumb fuck

[kikerulez1]

you can hear the bass drum pounding as loud as james' voice XDD

[TheBandRK]

thats his semi-acoustic eclipse o.o its so damn cool

[metallicafanfjdk]

Kirk is AWESOME at the the beginning

[09CBR600rr]

Kirk is awesome ALWAYS

[nookies10]

1:02 The neck is a Gibson Neck.

In studio, he also plays Fender and Gretsch.

You moron, ESP are not like these guitars, they're thinner.

I'm absolutely sure that it's his Gibson.

Ps : ESP frets are in "Flags"

[afdonier]

Yup it's a Gibson Les Paul. Not very often does Kirk use them since he's endorsed by mainly ESP.

[Soniaspapa]

I hate how the end solo turns into a jam session. It completely does the song no justice cuz the end solo isn't right and has no where the feeling of the recording. Kirk needs to go back and do this song justice.

[dude42493]

I know how you feel about it, the original solo did have a feeling unique to the song. But at the same time I kinda like the live end better cause Kirk just goes wild with the improvised solos and it's just so energetic especially when your there in person, but hey to each his own i guess.

[tillman40]

or better yet...play the song at the original speed..like Austin 1989..AJFA days..this is too slow..

[CWATZ]

its one of the greatest solos ever. r u mentally fuk'd

[ragavanvs]

man i signed in just to drop that disgusting jonas comment another rung! Jonas brothers!! Honestly man what a comparison!

[insecta96]

i was in that concert it was badass i loved it

[insecta96]

r u stupid or wat jonas suck

[metalmario298]

FUCK no...

That's not even funny man

[Missarias3]

One of the best shows I have ever been to! I went all the way to texas from L.A. to go to this show! It was worth every penny :D

[ctrain4647]

hetfield uses both esp and gibson

[jdl350]

For those of you who cant read...it is an ESP...not a Gibson....there simlar...but not quite..

[LeperMessiah05]

this is his own ESP guitar he does not use LES PAULS!!

[L3gitGuitarist]

aahh you can hear the bass drum so much w.e this song is amazing

[MetallicA6151994]

Actually it is a les paul. He only uses them for fade to black and nothing else matters.

[TheFuzz06]

ESP, he doesn't use Gibson.

[Bigboy4lyf12]

Actually Kirk and James used them in St Anger

[xSitdown]

wht kind of les paul is this custom, standard, wht

[xSitdown]

are those emg pick ups on kirks les paul

[Shalkore]

yes

[xSitdown]

Kirks guitar sounds amazing in this song he is the best guitarist ever!!!

[xSitdown]

is kirk playing am esp or a les paul they look so much alike you cant tell the difference pls comment and let me know

[Rickirockit]

It's a Gibson Les paul

[dp471]

Man I wish I could have been there, what an epic show.

[Ands2990]

omg why did they slow down the intro, not just in this live performance, but in all the fade to black live version ive seen after 2000 theyve slowed down the intro, also kirks distorted tone SUCKED there, or was it just the camera?

[b0rnin2attitude]

camera

[lolerz222]

I love Kirk's Guitar :D

[nookies10]

Kirk plays a Lespaul . WOW

[steven30722]

Nope thats an ESP just designed exactly like a Lespaul guitar. But I though that when I was there to.

[nookies10]

When I said lespaul, I meant Lespaul style, (The real, not the signature)

And it's a Gibson, you can see it because of the frets. They're not like ECLIPSE, in flags, theyre trapezoidal, it's a Gisbon lespaul with EMG pickups. 5:48

[drumhero101]

hey moron kirk hammett endorses esp so you can just fuck right off. all his guitars are esp now. go look up it up.

[TheBadAndGnarly]

he has a gibson or two, but most are esp and all are emg equiped

[dhuey10]

dumb cunt its a les paul, shows how much you know about metallica. Don't say anything until you get your fucking facts right

[1xcrosswordx1]

HAHA i was there! Hell fuckin' yeah!

[lokhim1993]

lars kick can hear clearly in here!!!

[tripleh51892]

shadow link... every one of those bands suck except metallica.... what are you prooveing?

[0scar0ne]

[tupapasito2103]

You say 50 Cent- i say my chemical romance!

You sayJonas Brothers-I say linkin park!!!!

You say rap-I say bring me the horizon!

You say pop-I say Metallica!

92% of kids have turned to rap,pop,& hip hop.If your one of the 8% copy and paste to 4 videos KEEP THE SPIRIT OF ROCK

[mbd303030]

this is not rock....this is metal...don't ever put metallica in the same category as those other bands...go listen to my chemical romance

[McGradyBrendan]

Hey now... he had some sense by putting System in there. :)

[mbd303030]

yea but i mean jesus christ...simple plan? fuck this kid

[xVxPUNISHER]

ppl just write shit nowadays

[xXAlphaXx]

Nowadays? I'm sorry, I didn't realize 1984 is recent.

[xVxPUNISHER]

I meant the comments not the song.

[xXAlphaXx]

Oh. ._.

[DugTheSpartan]

Dude you need to start listen to music that actually has effort put in to it.......

The only good band on there is Metallica of course....but now go listen to your shitty emo music.

[Xepher54321]

out of all this i like....... bullet for my valentine

......metallica

.....system of a down

.....linkin park thats all i like of your thingy there lolz

[Aravix]

Was this the performance dedicated to Dimebag?

[kane555444]

yes it is

[McGradyBrendan]

How d'you know?

[McGradyBrendan]

I thought they composed this song for the movie Elephant Man; didn't know there was anything else to it.

[Sharkis12]

Best song ever

[cubone41]

[metaldevil49]

[MetalD1111]

man kirk looks good with a les paul

[KirkHammett33]

noooooo he is 100 % strat man!!

[MetalD1111]

oh ok

[lonestarlucas]

hm, i don't think i've ever seen him playing a strat.

[BeardedDanishViking]

But he does own a couple (at least) :)

[KirkHammett33]

maaaan he used a fender one for the unforgiven in the 1990s but his esp signature ones are strat-shaped. thats what i meant.

[hmireles85]

that jaymz guitar sounds like more than just a simple electric guitar....

[Aldoo20]

it isnt a simple electric guitar ;)

[tmalik94]

favorite metallica song!!

[petsematarykeeper]
