[LelandHalfDemon963]

"I don't want to die. HAHAHAHA!!!" Gotta love James's maniacal laughter.

[itsadove]

Lars you ugly.  :D

[SNOWY13165]

@fromturkland Ever since the day he was born;)

[SKayvanAbbasi]

Hi Metallica, I've been your fan for many years. I love you for your beautiful music. but please, Kirk, play the solos as close as you can to the albums for at least you guys have made a lot of money because of having fans like me!

[fromturkland]

when kirk learn to play guitar ?

[mickjaggerfan17]

1:23 what the fuck lars make face like that

[coachman4000]

Not really understanding how someone can remember every note and complex riff of this song absolutely perfect for the whole 8 1/2 minutes but forget the lyrics??

[danykiller123]

the corect title is : Metallica - Ride The Lightning [live MTV Video Music Awards-------------->2004<----­--------1].mpg

[Mychemicalmetallica]

@danykiller123 you mean the "coRRect" title

[MasterOP01]

[tonydmty1234567]

Nice Rips from KIRK

[MHGH1996]

[rammstein9871]

[mhrl10]

@rammstein9871 Fuck You Idiot .l.

[IronMaidenSDABNJ]

it was a great mistake that James took singing lessons

[itzrkb]

It's slower, but it's actually a really cool heavy groove

[dhonnar]

no mames todo descuadrado

[gabycuneo]

its very slowww! what happened :s

[danielesepacheco]

seems to me that that dave have to teach kirk the proper way to play some riffs of this song

[jr53092]

who wants to ride the lightning?

[labhusky3]

ride the lightning=the only perfect song on the planet

[PuppetsMaster13]

robs pants :DDDDDD

[xXMeTaLLiCAXxYa]

And people are complaining about james voice being horrible in 1993 and after His voice is so beastt now

[johnnyhorton2]

@xXMeTaLLiCAXxYa  to tell the truth i thought his voice was the best on st anger

[1randombeauty]

This is at The Fillmore in San Francisco. So it is 2003 and it is not the MTV awards. You're all right and wrong. Happy Listening.

[abcDiogo123]

sounds heavy when they slow it down  YES

[gstaraftari]

Screw the people !

[ELCH1935]

Yaaahhhh Good Quality Thanks ( Danke )

[vivelehardcore]

i wish james still had his old voice

[TheYomomma619]

doesnt sound rite

[pincos555]

que buen tema

[mattg1029]

It looks like 80% of the audience doesn't even know what the fuck they're playing.....for shame

[zombislayerpwnsnoobs]

I was the first person to watch this video

[emorocker897]

1:56 RETARD!!

[tehmiff]

2:00 surprise reach arounds are the best, arent they?

[digitalph5]

crowd: oh this must be somekind of openning for entersandman... and then they ended it and then the crowd is all like... wtf where's entersandman?

they don´t know just how lucky they are, i've seen metallica only 1 time xD and i would die if they played my favourite song (this one).

[MrShaggyJosh]

I've never heard Robert talk until now...

[hoshdt1]

what a shitty distortion!

[ronniea7x]

mustaine chords .....

[Missesmetalhead]

Dot get me wrong... Robs good at bass, but personally I don't like him. Nobody can ever replace cliff. I miss the old Metallica

[vsmash14]

@Missesmetalhead thats the very old metallica , i think the more original metallica was when jason was part of it but ofc , cliff was a legend .

[thesonybluray]

667

[mirMOkhun]

the gods is in MTV award . 

[mlbrandon94]

Do you hear the screaming after Lars said the only getting Reload?, I mean he scared the shit out of them

[gibberfish]

y u no play sandman ? lol

[diigo10]

that crowd sucked! they probably didn't know which album phantom lord was off of!

[ferdynand1662]

se oyen taana mal



[fulleffect121]

Thumbs up if you came here to see Kirk/James do the Spider Chord.

[KirkHammettKH]

@fulleffect121 thats Dave Mustaine's cord! ahaha he used it in wake up dead and ride the lightning when they wrote it! haha

[fulleffect121]

@KirkHammettKH yeah I know it's Dave's chord lol. That's why Dave has song credit for RTL. :p

[eclipse5eddy]

Kirk doesn't do the spider chord L:

[CAlanRobinson]

I think some of Kirks best solos were off of Lightning!!! He had time to prepare and also wanted to actually show what he could do!!

[CAlanRobinson]

I think that these guys are playing a lot more older stuff with Rob than they have with Jason... Rob can actually keep up!! Doing Cliffs parts!!

[SandyPubesOfficial]

2:00 fan gets on stage and squats behind lars' ass?????? wtf

[wariordave3]

@SandyPubesOfficial xD thats a roadie

[Danny94James]

@SandyPubesOfficial no that's a roadie lol, just fixing something on lars' drum set

[JustStayDown90]

This is not "live MTV Video Music Awards" and this is not "2003", this is live at Metallica's Relaunch Party and it's 2002. Get your facts straight. :)

[luchadorbig]

@JustStayDown90 but robert trujillo did play for metallica in 2002

[Poisonnachos]

@JustStayDown90 It's not 2002, cause Rob's in it and he didnt join until 2003. "Get your facts straight".

[JustStayDown90]

@Poisonnachos Looks like there's a lot of people who seem to agree with me. Plus I've been a Metallica fan for long and I'm sure of what I'm saying here. But thanks for quoting me; that's the sincerest form of flattery. ;)

[carlogz]

@JustStayDown90 no he didnt, it is documented that he didnt even join the band till Feb 2003.

[undertakeredgar]

@JustStayDown90 Rob was hired in 03 how is the there if its 02

[KatsumottoThuggy]

@JustStayDown90 Except Rob Trujillo started playing with them February 24th 2003... get your facts straight retard

[soap1294mctavish]

@JustStayDown90 well if trujillo get in metallica in 2004 how he played with 'tallica in 2002??? I dont understand xD

[CesarAndersen]

[soap1294mctavish]

@CesarAndersen Oh yeah hehehe I understand now, thanks

[RafaelRoberto840]

@JustStayDown90 I think its 2003 because Rob joined the band in 2003

[LordVerdo]

@JustStayDown90 Rob joined in 2003, get YOUR facts straight.

[FadeToPuppets]

@JustStayDown90

It's not 2002 dumbass, Rob came in in 2003, so how the fuck is he here if its 2002?

Dumbshit.

[JustStayDown90]

Sounds like someone's butt hurt. Get a life and stop calling people names on the Internet.

[FadeToPuppets]

@JustStayDown90

Looks like someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

[TheBlackViper1007]

[JustStayDown90]

[bonjijuancho]

[IIxTrInItYxII]

[rocker4141]

[Cioppa182]

[MrJerBatista]

[luvjb95]

@BKets4ever james just simply cant play the spider, daves in another division than james

[xxif86]

@BKets4ever I think he used spider chords at 6:17

[HamMan1997]

Metallica - The Father

Alice In Chains - The Son

Pantera - The Holy Ghost

[TOJxKiLLSTeaLeR]

nice beard lars!

[chrisburgin43]

this is not MTV .. i was at this show assholes.... this is the filmore in san fran

[rockzrulez]

I dont like james keep mustache

[The7Vightmare]

james has a good voice but as time changed so did his voice, when they made ride the lightning it suited there heavier music now a days he cant scream as good

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

COME ON I DESERVE TO BE THERE ....GLAD THEY PLAYED IT ATLEAST MORE PEOPLE WILL KNOW ABOUT IT ......ONE OF MY FAVOURITES....

[10laughungtears]

Go Rob go! My idol :D As well as Cliff and Jason.

[suhijo]

Dude this crowd is so lame.. down here in latin america you need a stadium and a bunch of security to get a metallica show... and every single song is chanting lauder than hetfield.. but this crowd video is so absurd... !!!

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

good metallica plays this on mtv ............we can see they did all this to popularise their music not to sell it otherwise why wouldnt they play some load stuff

[pacersconnor]

17 people dont know how to ride the lightning! :)

[pacersconnor]

cool :)

[TheMechengr]

This is one heavy performance. Feels like heaven.

[BearGrylIs]

i always think that lars looks like bam margera when he had that beard

[dani1928]

So fucking slow, even slower then in the studio version...

"new" Metallica sucks :(

[LTChaosLT]

@dani1928 it's not always about the speed...

[dani1928]

@LTChaosLT

Of course no, but when your a so called thrash band, and playing a song like Ride The Lightning, it's gotta be fast and powerful

[LTChaosLT]

@dani1928 they are not young anymore ... they are starting to get old

[ben5073]

@dani1928 What do you expect? They're getting old and It's MTV VMAs

[jonte686791]

3:34

There he forgets to sing abit..

[Sotirakis22]

this crowd shucks metallica should come to Greece again to feel what love feels like :P or they should go to Bulgaria again they love them too as we love them here in Greece

[Megasiviper]

wow if i was there i would have been beating the shit out of everyone just goin crazy favorite metallica song

[svendebest]

5:33 Kirk, that aint the solo!

[DyingBreedThrash]

THIS IS NOT MTV, FILMORE IN CALI.. dont be stupid. this was a metallica show

[metalhardrockerhead]

The mtv crowd now i know more than 3 songs by metallica andi agree lars is a badass drummer but thank god he got rid of those hell forsaken snares lol ;)

[DyingBreedThrash]

this is the filmore, not mtv

[fukkemup]

zombie crowd

[thrasherlml]

YAY WE GET RELOAD TOMOROW! :D

[turbulancerulzphs]

those of you who think the crowd is silent they arent. this video is pretty much all edited so they cut the crowd out and any mistakes :) still brilliant though :)

[MrIMPATIENCE]

the crowd probably thought it was a new song or something judging by how silent they were.....

[MEGADETHEVA]

I think that Lars is such a great drummer and that... but... that snare... sounds like shit.

[PTR131]

Best sound quality on YouTube.

[VlaDuZa]

17 people who went to this concert disliked 'cause they expected to hear Enter Sandman.

[riocro1]

hahahaha xDDD he forgets the lyrics on 7:02

[TheSlydrake]

anyone know the guitar that kirk is using

[Gang1242]

@TheSlydrake ESP KH-2. M-II

[mirMOkhun]

i remember the spider chord of mustaine .. metallica rocks \m/

[stmsv12011]

i hate how the intro doesnt sound like the studio version.:\ it fuckin annoys me!

[marcblaak]

@seloo96 lol learn to read



[APAsianTV]

Heitfield is the awesomest douchebag to ever live, and that's a compliment

[SatanRise666]

best band ever

[102938abel]

This is badass heavy metal.

[pastasauce516]

ahh i miss James's old voice :P it went better with this song

[bokkob1234]

fucking posers in the crowd

[suhijo]

i still cannot get used to this song tuned 1/2 step down.. but anyway 

[lstinziano]

@suhijo i fucking hate that tunning, but i must admit that in some songs it sounds better than the standard tunning, like creeping death or fuel. i know, fuel is in Eb, but when i was learning fuel, it was one of the first song i ve learned, so i know how it sounds in standard tunning, but a couple of days ago, i decided to tune my guitar 1/2 step down, and when i played creeping death it sounded awesome, better than in standard, but for master of puppets, or one, for example, standard is better

[suhijo]

@lstinziano Yeah dude.. i saw metallica last year and who cares  the tunes.. but you know here front my pc is weird!!

[lstinziano]

@suhijo yeah, i saw 'em live in january 2010, and they kick ass, but i agree with you, to hear that half step down is weird, i think they 've done it because of james voice, but it is just a guess, i would like to ask them why did they decided to tune a half step down

[suhijo]

@lstinziano I guess that too, i mean... he fucked up his voice some 90s concert... may be for that

[lstinziano]

@suhijo yeah, during the recording of the black album, he lost his voice, im sure you know that story

[suhijo]

@lstinziano no i have read that was on a show singing a Misfits song but not sure the date... nothing else i know

[Iceozo1]

@suhijo He was recording the song "So What" by Anti-Nowhere League and he blew out his voice.

[suhijo]

@Iceozo1 Ohh yesss !! 

[Marrodamaan]

crowd: WHAT? DIS NO SANDMAN!!! lol

[THECaptainPlanetHD]

@Marrodamaan this song is 10x better then Enter Sandman, Enter Sandman is just their most famous hit.

[VrebellionC]

@THECaptainPlanetHD not 10x, enter sandman is great! but youre right, there are many songs which are beeter the sandman like master of puppets, all nightmare long, battery, hit the lights, creeping death and even ride the lightning! ^^

[Blindkiller64]

@THECaptainPlanetHD Only 10x? I think that 100x at least

[KJ3KrazyJames]

@THECaptainPlanetHD i know eh its awesome ride the lighting

[AlbanianGuy]

@Marrodamaan when do they say that? lol

[Standell09]

Gotta be very hard to perform for an mtv crowd, they dont care about music anyway.

[Sakeroz]

what a shity crowd!

[Spedeable]

Metallica is on the stage and look at the crowd! xP LOL

[ToastDoc]

17 moms of the viewers were killed by the electric chair!!

[GuitARPlayr100]

[tonyrosam]

[goldlessbassist]

[damageinz]

This is not from MTV VMA!! It's from the Fillmore '03 show (Fan Can #5).

[thojyout23]

the rtl solo is fucken hard to play, especially near the end. props to kirk!

[empirikal23]

james' voice was so awesome at the beginning of 2003!!

[calvi07]

DEAD RIDE THE LIGHTNING....SLOW MOTION MODE ON!

[tatersalad814]

@calvi07 No shit dude there is no power behind this song at all.

[cr8tonboy]

Phantom Lord in 20 min???? Holy Christ
