Metallica Seattle 1989 - Battery

[ktulu1971]

I've seen them on the Justice tour... multiply this video's energy x10 and you have half of the energy they used to deliver every night. Mindblowing!

[m1ghtysauc3]

I hate you Bob Rock for ruining Lars's drumming and almost ruining the band. I hope you get raped by Bon Jovi, faggot.

[ks1333]

@m1ghtysauc3 seriously...i miss lars drumming this way... he was so fucking good, its a damn shame

[rocksta90]

back when the world was fine.

[unfathomedband]

So much fucking energy

[london3149]

battery up 5 people asses....... 

[Torkec44]

@london3149 those people are already hospitalized

[mikeangeconeb]

FUCKING BATTERY

[habbobaby1]

my favourite part is 2:49

[FaustoUlrich]

3:32 3:44 THE BEST PART! Especially at 3:42! Epic James!

[runner2240]

to the 5 people that disliked this video... FUCK YOU

[themthrashinkids]

FUCK YEAH SEATTLE! PROUD FUCKIN WASHINGTONION! Seattle is where the crazy shit is bound to go down. Question, any locals know where this was? Was this at the dome? I know it's the TACOMA dome but still, it looks just like it.

[MariovskY]

for me this show was the best metal performance ever...pure awesomeness....beautiful...no words,

[votsorostov]

JASON CURTIS FUCKING NEWSTED bitchies and gentleman.

[SIZZLEBIZZLE1982]

BATTEREE! 0:54

[duddy74]

fuck anybody that says lars sucks

[rimticketts]

@duddy74 he was decent back then, but now he's pretty bad

[renegarciamoreno]

Guitar hero is shit

These guys are the real hero

[MexicanSeadude]

@renegarciamoreno

meh, guitar hero can be fun with a few friends a few drinks and a smoke. and i play the real guitar......its just a game dude

[vonkaunaz]

This momen 0:09 ...when James and Jason bang their heads at the same time with the first cymbal is printed forever in my mind.

[goalie1131]

@neckisstiff they are pushing 50 now, you dont see wayne gretzky or micheal jordan still dominating what they did best do you? they cant do everything they did when they were young, i still apreciate that they are still trying to make their fans happy. thats all i can ask from them

[dmh091]

2:31- 2:51

drums.

That is all.

[neckisstiff]

I went to a lot of Metallica's performances in the 80's , and early 90's... definitely just pure aggressiveness.... now they are not what they used to be. Bring back the old Metallica

[blasfemuscagon]

wake up man!!!!!!!!

[datguybenyeah]

Kirk fucking NAILED that solo =D

[Nikos7Rez]

I am afraid that we will never see such a live.They are old now and they play like the half speed of this.I wish i was born back then so i could see them young.

[TheTauist]

@Nikos7Rez so close to normal album speed? :)

[Nikos7Rez]

@TheTauist if u play guitar you will understand...

[TheTauist]

@Nikos7Rez its was just a complement to this concert o.O 

[natureisradical]

Tears of happiness and sadness, all in one. I saw this show in NC. Take me back!

[spike007980]

That guitar is defiantly perfect for "FUK EM UP!"

[Eloctic]

This is just a normal warm up for Metallica x))

[JURGOL1NH0]

I really like that crazy sound...

[JURGOL1NH0]

Best fucking concert of all bands. I wish I could be there.

[5MinutesAlone79]

shit, they sounded like the end of the world back then. even kirk's solos have way more vigour and imediacy. lars is on fire. james is a man possessed. totally mental off the scale performance. right time right place. metal is for the most part a young man's game

[StallionTTT]

Best drumming iv ever seen

[badreligion9494]

EVEN FASTER LIVE

HOW?!

[CikaAndrej]

@badreligion9494 I have no idea O.o

[IVIagnus]

i wish i was there!

[klogg4]

FUK EM UP

[kielszivos]

that performance was brutal.

[hammettlucho]

what?.... 2:30 hetfield with wristbands, 2:38 hetfield without wristbands, and 2:42 with wristbands again

[stickupyoass]

@hammettlucho really strange^^ how can that be? nice u noticed it

[habbobaby1]

@hammettlucho maybe a 2-night-show and they took records from both gigs?

[spike007980]

@habbobaby1 There's evidence both shows we're put together. Jason's bass guitars change mid songs.

Shirts are worn different. etc. It's there but you have to pick and pull apart what was night one and night two

[thepersonthatfarted3]

@spike007980 definetly... i noticed that too and i didnt wanna put that up cuz i new someone else noticed

[spike007980]

@thepersonthatfarted3 Same thing happened with AC/DC Let The Be Rock the Motion Picture. They did two nights in Paris and taped both and put together the Motion Picture. Almost every band who has a two or three night concert in the same city, they'll tape it and discuss with Corporate if they wanna release the footage or not or let the bootlegger keep it for personal needs.

[Nacholinx10]

@hammettlucho 29 and 30 august 1989, the video collects two concerts

[Luissomeguy23]

metallica rocks even at 240p

[DixieSolo]

Back when Thrash was Thrash! HELL YEEEAH!

[Sharkis12]

best thrash song ever

[RaukerN]

Best music preformence ever.

[1949GeneS]

faster than megadeath

[holgerpoiss]

You cant suffer the epicness of this song, HE fucking apocalypses you

[Altair7007]

so fast!

[ShooterCinema]

i want a fucking time machine

[RyanMattheu]

@ShooterCinema Exactly! Couldn't have put it better.

[LightningStickmanBob]

Just wish that back then when he sang the word "Battery" individually twice in a row that he didn't sing 'batter-ee' followed up by the correct 'batter-ay'

[sniped101]

@LightningStickmanBob ah true. but its too fuckin metal neverthe less.

[lokon1231]

and to think i wasn't alive :( lol batteriiiiiiiiiiiiii

[NiklowyTadeusz]

Sorry, Metallica, no metallica ;]

[NiklowyTadeusz]

@hufsakex Please learn that metallica is playing tHrash metal!!! No trash.... lolz and 43 people dont know what their favourite band play.

[macewindex]

Cat @ 1:33

[AChildOfBodom667]

THIS is real Metallica. Not what we have now. I wish we still had the attitude.

[Pavl0ve]

Better quality ?

[XxxMetallicafan1100x]

@Pavl0ve who cares about quality its metallica you'll never be able to see a concert like this ever!

[Luissomeguy23]

The crown can even follow the music.......No one in world has Metallica's energy

[ruxacul]

yeah! the best concert!

[Ramtough93]

Hold on, did they just make a song that was fast as hell in the studio, faster!? Only in Metallicaland. Lars was nuts

[jdoggybizzle]

The 5 people who don't like this are probably Justin Bieber fans and are gay.

[xCMxMach]

@jdoggybizzle No they are Megadeth fan boys.

[evilTaker90]

@jdoggybizzle No they are Justin Beaver's fans :D

[CanduresFKN]

They are playing so fast that Lars isn't crossing playing.... awesome!

[TheMiszczjedi]

3:37 are best moment;D

[CreepingDeath007]

Sooooooo fast! And soooooooo good!

[MetallicaFreak223]

thumbs up for the best frontman and band in history

[TheBlackSalvation]

how the fuck can James play that riff & sing that fast at the same time :O

[xCMxMach]

@TheBlackSalvation Because he is the fucking God of Metal.

[MaximumRockerII]

Fuck! Lars was all over those drums

[mattandjeff]

@MaximumRockerII Good old times, when Lars was a "Hell of a drummer"

[sloppiejoe87]

how can he play that fast and sing at the same time!?!?!?!

[MaximumRockerII]

@sloppiejoe87 i wonder the same thing

[jasmmmm]

@sloppiejoe87

Years of practice. :-)

[SolidG0D]

i think jason doesnt get a lot of respect he deserves. simply because he uses a pick. . . . .

[07Dracoian13]

I like this band setting best of all

most epicest concert evar!

[fredrikolsson]

sooo fast

[TheFerkazHeadbanger]

I hate the fucking people who says " da da Rob is better than Jason" here is a proof JASON IS BETTER THAN ROB. THE ROB BASS SOUNDS LIKE A TOY

JASON NEWSTED RULEZZ!!!  MOTHER FUCKER!!

[Goldendroid]

the best part of this song was in between 0:00 and 4:38

[BallonkaSwe]

@Goldendroid those comments are just gay now;) No offence

[Goldendroid]

@BallonkaSwe It's only true... And the retarded commenting system means I didn't get a reply message in my inbox. Youtube just go back to normal... Google messed you big time.

[milkisdop]

@Goldendroid what did google do to it?

[Goldendroid]

@milkisdop Google boght youtube a couple of years ago. When youtube started fucking over...

[monkeybomb67]

@Goldendroid i agree

[ledzippn]

@Goldendroid say it all

[Gilksenator]

everyone always mocks lars ulrich now, look at him in this fuckin video, he is fucking unreal !

[Marrodamaan]

OMG THE DOUBLE BASS! <3

[Raidertilldeath]

This has to be the best concert I have ever seen!!!!! And i am takling all time in ALL genera's of music!! INSANE!!!!! All these years after Metallica I still have yet to listen to a coordnated, ruthless assault of the ears!!!!! These Bands nowadays are nothing compared to this!!!!! HOLY CRAP!

[JaviVS]

fucken amazing

[ceramicshack]

Best concert i've ever been to, hands down. I was 16 and it is still imprinted on my brain like it was yesterday..

[Praet0r87]

Lars is the fuckin man!!

[seven7du5t]

at there PRIME???

[chiefscrash]

2:38 - 2:51 Lars's double bass!!!! As fast as dyers eve!!!... Ok, this it's why lars is (was) one of the best drummers in the world!!! METALLICA RULES... FOREVER AND EVER!!!!

[BallonkaSwe]

@chiefscrash I think he was kinda famous for his uniqe(spelling) style especially with the cymbals but also hes insane difficult DB ( not just fast but also like in the shortest straw for example) Correct me if im wrong;) Have a nice day

[dratoxify]

best concert ever!!!!!!! i wish i was born early enough to see it live....

[rockstein]

amazing, scream jason at minute 1:34

[kolishman]

0:55 Batteryyh xD

[strikeout1991]

FUCKIN BATTERY xD

[jim1brink]

i wish that lars can play that fast again. this is fucking insane.

[zachw1014]

Before James' voice was shit for the most part and Lars wasn't so lazy. I know I'm going to bet bashed but seriously, this just blows away any other metal performance I've ever seen.

[GGGriggs]

Don't worry, this is the GREATEST Metallica performance EVER!!! This one gig makes the entire World Magnetic Tour look inferior by comparison...and the World Magnetic Tour is amazing, so that says something about the Almighty Seattle Gig!!!

:-D

[GGGriggs]

I'm not one for much head-banging...but this song is THE LAW for head-banging!!!!!!!!!!

X-D

If only my neck was in better condition to head-bang..........

:-D

[KvSwooo]

i think i just broke my neck headbanging

[jampk24]

That... Just... Happened...

[HardyBoyFan101]

Best Metallica concert ever.

[joeuk86]

agreed i also love the moscow 1991

[HardyBoyFan101]

Yeah, when they played Enter Sandman, Kirk ran from backstage and was still playin the guitar. It was funny when he ran, he ran from backstage as if he saw a giant.

[Mclovin2602]

true dat!

[HardyBoyFan101]

Yeah, man. Lol. On Rock Band I was singing this song like James was. Not his modern voice, but his goddamn motherfuckin' kick ass metal scream.

[Mclovin2602]

ahhaha, thats good as man.

I live in Australia. I'm hanging out for them to come to Australia. I would pay so much money to see them.

[HardyBoyFan101]

I live in Iowa, and I'm dying them to come. But, all I can wait for is Slipknot who lives in the same state as me. Ik you guys hate them, but they got good songs.

[Mclovin2602]

oh for sure, i LOVE! pyscosocial.

[HardyBoyFan101]

Duality and Before I Forget, too. Wanna know what Slipknot and Metallica have in common? They're both on Guitar Hero 3.

[Mclovin2602]

yeah hahah! nice:P

[HardyBoyFan101]

Hey, man. I have my taste of music.

[88fanforlife]

[metalonso1666]

[demonata2]

[Dorkus89Malorkus]

@GooBleZZMet don't know about that guy but my spell checker auto corrects it.

[casias54]

3:33 i'm suprised the drums didn't break

[Mallemaster]

It was probably around here james crossed the end of sanity... Listen to that raw anger

[RajaFlatterie]

they were at their peak here...it's only weird that it's been in Seattle where the grunge born

[silveradoman74]

Jason's on stage presence goes unmatched

[moralaa]

@silveradoman74 3:46. I agree, look at him just whiplash the crap out of his head. BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED! Jason runs on pure metalness from the heart.

[405mikey91]

1:37..... ain't getting more powerful than that

[JYKelly]

From 3:33 on, pure 100% FUCKING CRUSHING p0wnage.

[nonofday]

[METALxHEAD164]

Lars was such an amazing drummer, now he cant do double bass to save his life

[wolverineboy96]
