Metallica and Trans Siberian Orchestra have NEVER performed together. Metallica put out an orchestral album with the late Michael Kamen conducting the San Francisco symphony orchestra. TSO had nothing to do with that recording whatsoever. TSO is a symphonic classical and/or christmas rock band formed from by members of the band "Savatage" and their uber-producer Paul O'Neill. They tour in 2 split groups with their own band members. Never has metallica performed with them in any capacity.
@Dawgboyyyyyyyyyyyyyy There is no Metallica in this song. Or any other TSO song. A few years ago, on file sharing networks, someone started tagging TSO songs as "With Metallica" and people believed it and now that they are being proven wrong they are too proud/stubborn to accept the fact that they are wrong and there is, in FACT (Look to comments down, I've proven it) no collaborations between TSO and Metallica.
"The Tech: There have been reports from some radio stations that Savatage and Metallica have worked with the Orchestra in the past.
Robert Kinkel: No, not Metallica. But Al Petrelli, who’s been taking up the West Coast Tour this season was in Megadeth for a while and also Alice Cooper. "
Robert Kinkel is a founding member of TSO. The full interview can be found here... tech.mit.edu/V121/N66/robert_kinkel_i.66a.html
jeez for the love of all that is holy would all you whining morons shut up about it seriously, im seeing it everywhere and its tiring and old...we get the point Now kindly shut up..
@TheUnlifeExile Thats ignorant. Extremely ignorant. The title of the video should be changed. There is no bones about it. It is, again, incredibly IGNORANT to think people should be allowed credit for something that they have nothing to do with. Credit where credit is due is important and it takes away from the talent and work of the people in TSO to have them share credit with people who had nothing to do with this recording. In this case it's Metallica that has nothing to do with it.
The music is by Trans-Siberian orchestra and the members are formerly from a band in the 80's called Sabotage. They perform a phenominal christmas show every year. It is worth every penny.
This is a recording of TSO's mad russians christmas. The lead guitarist on the recording for this song was Al Petrelli of Savatage and the rythm guitar on the recording was Alex Skolnick. But when they split up and tour with the 2 groups Petrelli is the lead of the west group and Skolnick is lead of the east. And MetallicA is my favorite band and this is definitely not them, this is Trans-Siberian Orchestra
You're right. Metallica were guests during this performance and Alex is a regular member of TSO. Kirk took the guitar lead this time for sure and TSO is famous for having guest artists join them for performance. Really nice!
i love metallica and i wish these were metallica, but unfortunally they are not. the band is just the trans-siberian orchestra brought into life by some savatage members. go check wikipedia
Okay Metallica has NOT worked with TSO; they don't need to. TSO is way freaking cool without a band like Metallica. And you should know that "A Mad Russian Christmas" is also called "The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky, who was a Russian composer.
Sorry to say, but *nice try* It looks like a lot of money went into the lights, but not much time went onto the sync... I bet they've done a better job this year.
actordude125, thanks for confirming that METALLICA IS NOT PART OF TSO. I always heard that they did do work together, but the guitar style definately isnt Kirk, its straight up eurpoean style shredding
you dont have to listen hard because you're fucking retarded. Metallica is NOT IN TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. They are completely seperate bands, and have never worked together.
yeah tso doesn't need to link with metallica. their guitarists are way better than metallicas anyway. but yeah u should probably change the title of this because seeing TSO with Metallica in any shape or form makes me angry anyway..
@MzrtLegacy Everyone deserves credit where credit is due and it's a dis-service to the hardworking members of the Band Trans Siberian Orchestra to have them share the credit with a band that had absolutely nothing to do with it.
what CD? Cuz this is definitely Trans-Siberian Orchestra, at least this version, i've heard it played live, and they have no partnership, at least prove me wrong by telling me the name of the CD
NOT METALLICA! Have you read any of what has been said here? Have you read all of Metallica's album covers? Have you read all of TSO's album covers? NOT METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@amazing1959 There is no way this came from a Metallica CD. This is The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The guitarists are part of the orchestra. Metallica is not affiliated with them in any way shape or form.
@amazing1959 YOu are either lying or got a bootleg that lied. This is not Metallica. IT's Tras-Siberian Orchestra. The two bands have nothing to do with each other. Trans Siberian was formed from the ashes of the band Savatage. Savatage has nothing to do with Metallica either.
my friend went see them in New York three years ago and he said metallica performed with them, but my friend might have been wrong so if your thaaaaat sure your probably right.
and idk maybe because it was in the original nutcracker or something
no metallica never did carol of the bells and technically its not called carol of the bells that TSO did although is carol of the bells it's titled christmas in sarajevo.
They never actually recorded with them but they performed Christmas Eve in Sarajevo on various parts of the tour, but they called it the Nutcracker Suite when they performed it together. ALso, they have performed Beethoven's 5th Symphony with TSO a couple times. TSO has recorded with Savatage, i'm pretty sure at least.
TSO has never peformed with metallica, these are all of the bands TSO has performed with:
Savatage
Testament
Ozzy Osbourne
Alex Skolnick Trio
Megadeth
Circle II Circle
Metal Church
So me a single credible link where metallica ever performed christmas eve in sarajevo on tour with TSO. Show me a single time they performed beethovens 5th symphony with TSO.
either that or you just like saying stupid crap and wasting people's time.
there's this wonderful thing called "youtube", where you can look up videos of diferent songs and other things like that. you must not have heard of it, or else you wouldn't even bother saying something so stupid as your last comment. also, everybody and they're mother already knows what the nutracker suite is....
I did look it up on youtube and I don't see metallica in any of the nutcracker suite videos. My statement was why would they call "Christmas/Sarajevo 24/7" track nutracker suite? They have never done that before. So go ahead call me retarded but you still have yet to prove metallica even performed with TSO on tour, much less did "Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24/" with TSO. Have you even heard TSO version of nutcracker suite?
i don't think metallica has ever performed with TSO either...
my point was that Mad Russians Christmas is part of the Nutcracker Suite... which now i feel stupid, because you were talking about a diferent song.... lol
but, yes... i have heard the TSO version of the Nutcracker Suite. it's the song in the video these comments are posted on..... lol
this is NOT metallica! why are people so dumb?
