Metallica - That Was Just Your Life (Live Oct 21, 2008)

[Meex1989]

This is one of those songs that is good, just not live, because the vocals have to be completely precise.

[mactavishc]

It's pretty easy to play and sing at the same time once you get co-ordination down. But James is good, he could play in his sleep. Epic guitarist.

[sparkshadowtiger]

Dude this is amazing! James sound. just like he did on the album. if people dont like my comment dont bother replying why cant people just shut up and quit bitching at the way james voice sounds now. Just enjoy the music

[istealsouls4soup]

This is fuckin' ridiculous. I can barely sing OR play guitar to this song, but both at the same time,... in front of a huge crowd,... jebus.

[992Twoface]

My brother was at that concert and he had a broken leg

[Mr1ZombieKiller1]

4:57 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO :D

[DragonBrethProz]

@Mr1ZombieKiller1 what are you talking about you old stupid moron eh???????? :PP

[Mr1ZombieKiller1]

@DragonBrethProz Shut the fuck up I Love james but that was ...

[DarthMex1991]

hes singing "Hi Guy"!!!

[btzgd]

@abhs6 The main riff is in triplets so thats kinda impossible to downpick but the rest of it is downpicked and i am impressed with his playing and singing in the same time.But After week of practise i got this song, i can sing it and play at the same time.It takes a lot of concentration but it's doable :p But BATTERY IS IMPOSSIBLE I SWEAR TO GOD :d

[TheLordOfCoal]

I could use a nightvision at 2:30

[gun451994]

or 2 words that would be better : METALLICA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gustavoalvarez75]

Mi esposa y yo estuvimos ahi!!!! the best of the best!!!!

[nacho141194]

[2mrwsbonjovi]

[prajwalstillalive]

HEll YEah !!!

[frosten123]

FUCKIN' AWESOME

[carlyluvszeepugs]

[tyman1192]

haha james sung the first lines of the verse "Like a siren in my head and there is no emergency" guess he was thinking about it from the Hi Guy version...

[Mikeg73070]

Is it me or does the mighty Hetfield play the best downstoke picking style that is still unmatched to this day? Just watch his right hand and tell me any other guitarist that plays like that. One of THE best frontmen of the Metal/Rock age!! Anyone else agree?

[nez349]

@Mikeg73070 wat about kirk?



[Mikeg73070]

@nez349 Yeah, I love Kirk too,(I own his KH2 signed guitar). I just think James has this certain "chunk" to his downpicking that is still in a class all it's own. Songs like Master, Blackend, Fight Fire, Dyers Eve etc..

[Mikeg73070]

@nez349 Yeah, I love Kirk too,(I own his KH2 signed guitar). I just think James has this certain "chunk" to his downpicking that is still in a class all it's own. Songs like Master, Blackend, Fight Fire, Dyers Eve etc..

[ant8894]

[andresgb9]

[danielflasher95]

[dgnr82cool]

Look at the hand control, with the lyrics on tune. That is a God-Damned Musician.

[maaraa01]

can you imagine doing this for 30 years?...

[rageandbullets]

Man they are the greatest band in the whole fucking world.

[pippimaxim]

they should cut out some lyrics to this song the verses are too fast to sing

[Tomdom2010]

fucking amazing! it looks like his hands arms are controlled by another person!

[edgarcanijo]

@mitch221345 me too dude

[zjfox43]

He got the first line wrong. I know this song by heart, since it was my first Metallica CD and it never came out of the player till I got my second metallica CD. LOL

[Scarecrow545]

@zjfox43

He messes up lyrics all the time, no big deal...

[TributeMusicGroup]

@zjfox43

Nope, He got it right. Just mumbling a little. This ''was'' one of their first Death Magnetic shows. :)

[fadetoblack145]

press down on your key board and you can play snake on the computer

[PohatuJr]

When that first thrash riff started, I headbanged with no mercy which is pretty hard with headphones on.

God, I wanna see Metallica again. But I'm seeing Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax in a week but it's still not as awesome ast Tallica.

[SchizophobicBand]

Seeing this for the first time (on 1/15/09) was one of my highlights of 2009, easily. It was my first time seeing Metallica, and what an awesome song/light show to start the evening

[demerda]

2:35

Welcome to the mother ship.

MY LIFE FOR AIUR!!

[SaleMen09]

How the fuck is this possible? To play this riff and sing so hard lyrics... HOW?!

chuck norris gets rivarly..

[Zodiark77777]

is it just me, or did they start every concert with that song?

[toontaskfan]

@Zodiark77777 It's like their theme song thing.

[Zodiark77777]

@toontaskfan they must have really liked it considering it was essentially the only song including a ton of laser effects

[TheShepster80]

@Zodiark77777 Yeah its there intro.

[Martinneq]

@CercleMonox

ecstasy of gold

[Dangit2019]

@CercleMonox it's just a intro song. not on any album

[YourShortestStraw]

I saw this show almost exactly one year later in North Carolina, and they were still kicking ass as good as ever.

[timcrow420]

I seen metallica in 2002, but tickets were 150 bucks a pop, never been to there concerts since, I like to go to the Kottonmouth King shows, 25 dollars at the door, weed and beer everywhere, alot cheaper and lots of fun. Love metallica but man I refuse to pay so much to see a band

[snkeymlietrz]

@timcrow420 i went in 09 and they were 80

[brizzlealex]

God, I fucking love these guys. But I couldn't help notice James mumble the first lyrics. Oh well, I highly doubt anyone can sing and play guitar at the same time as good as him.

[monkeytraceur]

it sooooo faaast! xd

[mannekepis123]

this is fuckin awsome

[ermonski]

with members nearing 50 years old, they still continue to kick more ass than they ever did

[MetalliK41]

i saw them in Lisbon.. IT WAS AWESOME!! THEY START WITH THIS SONG.. OMG it give me chills everytime, and its not cold!!

[FlareRegion]

No one beats Metallica.

[BUFFW]

god metallica is so fucking great, there's so much adrenaline, they're fucking awesome!!

[HighLifetage]

They couldn't had started this tour better

[MagneticMetallica81]

Its amazing to see their first song of their tour knowing tht it ends this november! So crazy!

[tyman1192]

@MagneticMetallica81 I know, it is really wierd. this tour has kicked major ass and i love this as the opening song its just rocks!

[Emagrand]

[toledosan]

[chancemayne]

Ahh, that was such a badass show. The first concert I swore I would go to when they came to town.

[SoloPT]

OMG Sounds perfect.. How is this possible OMG BEST FUCKING BAND EVER!!! AND 3 WORDS FOR THAT GUYS THAT DISAGREE !!! KILL'EMALL

[BUFFW]

[narutot79]

thumb up here if you love METALLICA!!!!!!!!!

[Fanisliverpool1892]

@narutot79

are you fucking serious man?? who comes in a video of metallica if they don't like their music?? only a fucking idiot would come and listen to a song and a band that they don't like. i fucking love Metallica . my favorite band ever!!! \m/

[narutot79]

@Fanisliverpool1892 Maybe beiber fan ;)

[aguilanthony]

When the heartbeat kicked in I fucking got even more phsyced !!

About lyrics screwing up, watching other metallica live videos it seems that James substitutes lryics sometimes, possibly on purpose. First metallica and hopefully not my last.

[TheHeavy666Metal]

I was at this show FUCKING EPIC!!!!

[BJNO9]

眼太梨華

[133nickster]

Kirk pulled the solo off pretty well. but yeah first song of the first show of the tour James didn't do so well. still loved the lasers.

[Portokalas]

Rofl 4:55 funny little voice xD

[Airborne1707]

@Portokalas OMG xDDD

[TheFanMetallica]

METALLICA best band ever!!!! \m/

[seattlehawkins]

SHEDDING SKIN?

[karaokekongen]

i've seen metallica twice on the death magnetic tour, and the lasershow at the beginning is just fucking awesome. too bad it's not on the nimes concert bluray

[Dark271191]

Metallica rules =D

[ozielsolis]

I like it when Lars says, "Ok, house lights", and everybody starts screaming.

[SoleMetal2518]

first show and the lyrics are butchered. still kick ass though!!

[frostie1315]

great musicwork...too bad james messes up the lyrics a few times...i saw them live in december tho and they fucking kicked ass

rock on

[ihmemies100]

4:55 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D Sounded like someone kicked dog in the stomach :D

[antreaslo]

really!

[austinheath99]

James:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Robert:F*** this! Come on!

[austinheath99]

what was the song at the beginning i forgot

[pivetlord13]

@austinheath99 ecstacy of gold

[tmwa7x666]

this song is called "The end of the Line"

[bronxe5]

@tmwa7x666

just wondering, are you retarded? it's definitely called "That Was Just Your Life"

[tmwa7x666]

haha my bad i just listened to the intro song

[xxsilentnigjtmarexx]

@tmwa7x666 hahaha what a retard, its called That Was Just Your Life!

[Kylepersonal]

Friendlytac - learn english bro. They're the best you fucking idiot.

[jdogsguitar]

People who havent gone to see them yet have no idea how it feels when the lights shut off and the Ecstacy of Gold starts playing. Never had a cold chill like that in my life. Metallica is the best band in the world.

[friendlytac]

There the best.

[MkMndrgn]

metallica is all 40 plus years old, and they still fucking rock. Hands down the greatest show i've ever seen

[ByoButters]

actually 27yrs old but ur right they still fucking rock hands down

[DonQuixotec]

Their intro song ecstasy of gold makes you SO fucking happy when you are on their concerts. You've waited through warm up bands you probably don't give a fuck about, and then you hear that song. That feeling is just incredible, cause it means now they are coming.

I am looking forward to 13th of april when I am gonna see em again :D

[imthbst]

fuck you are lucky!!! i wish they would come to canada sometime!

[DonQuixotec]

I know they came to Canada once in 08. Haven't they been there ever since? I thought they would come to Canada more often since it's so close. They come to Norway usually once every year. They'll come to you soon, I am sure of it.

[imthbst]

yeah not since 08, i hope they will come soon, id definatly pay through the nose to go :D

[DonQuixotec]

I pay more than 200 USD to see them :P Tickets costs about 100 in store, but they were sold out after ca 7 minutes after they were released. You are only lucky if you get cause the site you buy lags so much cause of all the users buying at the same time. So we had to buy from another guy who sold them for twice the price :P

[imthbst]

no shit

to bad you cant pre order

[tomanders1]

@imthbst Hey you always got Nickelback! HA HA HA

[imthbst]

fuck that

[SilentKilla96X]

James is my fucking hero: "It's a rehearsal with just a few more people."

[canuckss01]
