[shootemndie]

[muzapstar]

Holy Shit.

[MitsuMetal]

holy shit 1:50

[gimmefuel93]

[GHrockbandNL]

I wouldn't film i would headband my head off this would be amazing to see Metallica

[CrapDoll13]

Jason at 0.32 "hey guys! can i play with you??"

Jason at 0.35 "nah okay, screw you guys im going home!"

[lore89Salentu]

brutal!!!!

[sk8terboi10199]

In 88 they ruled ...and justice for all was as heavy as it got a long with master of puppets.

[DamageIncM]

@sk8terboi10199

Actually, the "Black" one was a LOT heavier in its sound.

Well, a bunch of songs too.

Don't care if anyone calls it "commercial" or some shit, the recording is stellar and among the heaviest.

[sepulmattica1]

@DamageIncM To me it was far their best sound, and if I hadnt had to hear Sad but true a million times and heard it for the first time today? I mean you listen to that song on a huge bassy system and its like getting pounded into the ground with a sledge hammer.

Its just that when it came out I was expecting more thrashier. With time Ive come to like it more, especially the sound. It just followed the roots of more traditional metal instead of thrash.

[raz0rcarich99]

JAMES=scary O_=

[BandaDK]

did anyone notice the audio got better at 1:49?

[raz0rcarich99]

@BandaDK All the deaf people didn't.

[Cortextree]

@BandaDK The released soundboard of this concert starts in the middle of Battery, so the part before it was a audience recording

[GHrockbandNL]

@BandaDK hee banda drum cover master

[sirfinks]

It helps that they're all loaded!! Drunk as fuck and angry=AWESOME!

[BmanRocks1996]

There goal back then was to play there music which was already insane as fucking fast as they possibly could

[tickydude]

[tickydude]

[krisi54]

[francusfasteye]

Who was the bassist at that moment?...I don't know...because Cliff Burton was dead at that moment...and Jason Newsted..appeared in 1988...I don't know...can anyone of you please??? tell meee!!!

[evil8675309]

@francusfasteye

Your wrong, Jason joined in 86.

Jason is the one playing here.

[Alucalb1]

@francusfasteye It's jason...look at the hand form...it looks like pick playing

[MrZachgonz]

@Alucalb1 jason does use a pick

[Alucalb1]

@MrZachgonz I know...i was emphasizing to francsfasteye the fact that it looks like that...so therefore it can't be cliff

[Takke157]

James' voice is great

[BigMig5]

Lunacy has found 6 people.

[toughmetalchick]

If only I was born years earlier I could of witness them play at least once at their prime.

[kgkologlu]

you bet the battery is found in you jaymz! what the fuck was that on 3:05? many people dream of banging their heads like that in that part of the song!

[AdyHerts]

fucking sick

[kyrieleisson81]

james was angry in that time cuzt hey recently loss cliff so james i think special him remember with angry the lost of friend so to do all fuckin headbangs hi show all that angry

[CharlieKdiary]

Oh man, i wish i was bet buddies with Doc Brown so i could just take the Delorian back to 1987 and witness the days when metallica was brutal!

[MetaITV]

[choppersgun]

[MasterDeathLightning]

[Ironmaiden654]

[Inkaaliy]

@Ironmaiden654

that is one of the best comments here on youtube, says the truth, done

end of history xd

[RivetteTv]

@Ironmaiden654 like james sad he has nothing to bitch about now that he's a millionaire!

[re4zach666]

Fucking shit up as always! Damn too bad I wasn't alive too see them back then. My dad saw them and said they kicked ass in the 80s

[Guggebilen]

It´s strange to see James doing that much headbanging here compared to Jason, since Jason usually is the one who does that most.

[hablacat]

james headbangs very fast!how come his head doesnt hurt??i tried doing that & i almost broke my neck & got a headache for 2 days straight!

ROCK ON METALLICA!!XD

[stevo1878efc]

Forget sometimes how good they were around this time!

[1ballz08]

Whoa. Sound kicked in good at 1:50. Great f**kin' vid, man.

[joho0]

2/13/87 Too funny...I turned 16 that day. Too bad I missed the show. It would have been an awesome present!

[Rocker095150]

you can see james is pissed...cuz of cliff

[magnusson3333]

@Rocker095150 True!

[kzone15243]

damn..... if cameras could only record better audio and video back in the 80's

[punchlinestudiosfan]

Estos tipos fueron dioses, son dioses y siempre serán dioses.....

[beastlysk8r22]

holy shit james! im pretty sure he had to be checked out for a concussion after headbangin like that!!

[RodHammett95]

there is the best sound .....this is epic AGUANTE METALLICA CTM! lml

[d4r2t0]

FUCKING SICK. historic

[box1467]

I was still 16 when this was filmed... I had 3 MeTallicA offerings on LP (vinyl).

I had the Pushead / Zorlac shirts....

James (Jaymz) was always the better frontman over D. Mustaine.

Yes, the 'Katz are different now than 20+ years ago,,, but so am I.

Nonetheless, I remain true to Metal. it's my little secret... \m/

[650MonkeyButt]

Its soooo easy for people to forget what these guys did for metal!!!!!

[koolbain]

@650MonkeyButt Like your friend I think there are idiots who are led by what they read or see

on TV and do not know that metallica metal change history forever

[gruokdude]

Im right there with ya!

[ultramanhayata1]

KILLER!!! Finally, a live version of "Battery" captured on film, specifically from the Master Of Puppets tour!!! It's just a shame they didn't include a version on the Cliff 'Em All video!!

[rocafella142]

um holy shit....im fuckin speechless...

[XXBigJunetownXX]

Omg the headbangin is INSANE!!! They were GODS back then!

[slayermetals]

[wisesatyr72]

UNSTOPPABLE..

[METALLICADDICT1993]

1:50?! sound just kicks in? AWESOME!

[ColdAsIceGuy]

Damn,

I'd wish I was born in the 60's, not in the 90's, so I could just enjoy the fine live tune of at first rock and later metal.

But no, I'm born in an age where there are no real rock bands and where metal's just a piece of sh*t (not all of them, but the most).

[METALLICADDICT1993]

true we grew up in the fuckin grunge era GARBAGE! im glad that grunge killed big hair but grunge was just, well almost as bad

[Gishatako]

So true :[

[medalofhonor1919]

true that man.

[rocafella142]

@ColdAsIceGuy tell me about it....i was born in 89....that was Metallica's prime -.-..... fml.

[IfYouWantMetallica]

POWER!!!

[nikolaxito42]

la ctm yo naci el 13 de febrero :s ajajajaj viva metallica

[thebogeymaniscoming]

Metallica's still good now, the only thing missing are the crazy ass metalheads from the 80s. all people do at their concerts is stand still and record with their phones, they need to leave those shits at home and mosh to the Mighty Metallica!!!

[BigBozSicenunow]

Agreed thebogeymaniscoming,the 80z decade was fucking UNREAL!!!

[1985KramerPacer]

i tell you what if i was at a Metallica show i would mosh like tomorrow i wouldn't be able to move a muscle on my body! f*ck recording it! i'd be MOSHING to it like everyone else should be at ANY heavy metal show, whether it be Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, etc.

[thebogeymaniscoming]

@1985KramerPacer

exactly! i would too! but the people that can afford to be on the floor are pussies and bring their phones and cameras and all that bullshit and record them! they don't headbang or mosh at all! and its fucking bullshit!

[fuchzgal]

you are damn right man.

when i was at the concert (sorry i only got sitting cards, but i'll get standing cards later, too!!) everybody was just recording the concert.

you can't play good, if everybody just records it!!!

[thebogeymaniscoming]

@fuchzgal

hell yeah! same here! i saw them at the Weenie Roast in 08 and all the people down at the pits were recording! it pissed me off. i had seats too and i couldnt mosh but behind us in the Lawn, that shit got INSANE, people started fires and people got crazy up there. haha.

[pepimajo]

I THINK THAT JASON IS THE BEST....

[78061722]

[Ibik]

[hoppeppers]

[cliffburton993]

@Peccator93 time takes toll on every1

[X1Ju1]

James=BEAST

[ChrisOwnes]

@X1Ju1 correction: James WAS BEAST!

[Scarecrow545]

@ChrisOwnes

No, James still is a beast, and will always be.

[ChrisOwnes]

@Scarecrow545 yeh...dreamer

[Scarecrow545]

@ChrisOwnes

Hah.

God still bows down to James.

[ChrisOwnes]

@Scarecrow545 we're talking in two different ways so shut up and stop pissing me off

[Scarecrow545]

@ChrisOwnes

Ha, it's not my fault if you get pissed off over something so trivial and small.

[grvulture]

@ChrisOwnes exactly! James WAS! Don't listen to the ignorants

[headcrusher13]

@X1Ju1 MUSTAINE="BEAST I SLAP YOU IN THE FACE" ;)

[jonahbooc]

singing, playing guitar, intense headbanging, running around..damn! james is a beast!

[Razorback613]

Whenever some douche on Blabbermouth tells you Metallica is overrated send them to a video like this. Just because you might hate everything they released in the 90s on, that doesn't take the 80s away.

[jratz7]

@Razorback613

and death magnetic is amazing.

[Razorback613]

I love Death Magnetic. Best album since Justice.

[jratz7]

true that. only song i dis-liked- unforgiven 3. didnt match the tohers sound or feel lol

[snoopwoggywogg]

and even though unforgiven 3 was the weakest song on the album and didnt have the same feel as the others, its still a good song

[jratz7]

yeppers. i hope they have another album like DM, but maybe a little bit more tuning like MoP.

[Razorback613]

Agreed.

[drrockhead13]

James and Cliff were the best headbangers for sure.

[METALLICADDICT1993]

hetfield was a fuckin nut, i ve tried banging my neck that hard, that hurts like hell, but with adrenaline and beer he was able to do it

[BetePete]

hard times for the boys...had new fame and money...but no cliff...had to hurt like hell

[vizuet10]

i came

[MassaPekkarinen]

600.000-1,6million people was watching PANTERA,metallica,and ac/dc in moscow at 91

[piotrkolacki1969]

SORRY! i am retarded:)

[botargon]

what was this concert? and more videos?

[thebogeymaniscoming]

Monsters of Rock in Moscow, Russia

[piotrkolacki1969]

U must be retarded if u say that Metallica was in U.S.S.R. in 1987!!! If it is really 13/02/1987 then it is last show of Damage Tour in Sweden.

[thebogeymaniscoming]

????

everyone is discussing the concert in Russia with 600,000 - 1.6 million people watching Pantera Metallica and ACDC

[botargon]

look that fucking energy !!

[JonBT]

god damn..... James was fuckin CRAZY back in the day... holy shit

[koolbain]

the headbanging of james is sick ! is freacking sick

[dreamtheater61]

2:36

Jason. Playing with a pick. Cliff never used a pick. /thread

Metallica's biggest show was monsters of rock 1991 in moscow. At least 500,000+. Not even woodstock had that (250,000) and Rock Am Ring sure as hell doesn't have that.

Now stfu and watch the damn video.

[snusnusnus]

it was between 750.000 and 1.300.000 at monster of rock 91!

[dudzidudles]

metallicas biggest show is in monster of rock at moscow..

\

and thats a fact men!

[bonkswa]

it is actually the biggest concert ever on earth

[dudzidudles]

yeah and its their biggest too.

[ma369rtin]

second thers woodstock oh wait that was 500,000..... damn!

[pmanderson]

You guys call yourselves Metallica fans, and you think that's Cliff? Go do some research, you twats! Why this is Jason.

1. The date, which IS correct! See below.

2. Clothing. Cliff always wore denim and/or bell bottom pants. Jason is wearing black tight pants.

3. Right hand style. Clearly shows pick playing here.

4. The hair. Cliff had straight long redish hair. Jason has thick curly brown.

[JakobKuki]

Man it's sorta sad they don't sound THAT wicked now as they did. James started sounding worse after the black album because of vocal injury I believe. I'm on 13 but I read some crap online about them. They were the best then though and awesome now.

[choachi2]

Ok time for some Metallica trivia. I was curious as to what the largest amount of people Metallica has played for was

[beeforsalmon1]

definately the moscow gig in '91

look it up on wikipedia - the numbers range from hundred thousand to millions - millions is probably closer

[west7productions]

1989 Elektra reissue of Kill 'Em All.[18] Metallica embarked on its first major European tour with Tank to an average crowd of 1,300. Returning to the U.S. marked a tour co-headlining with W.A.S.P. and Armored Saint supporting. Metallica played its largest show at the Monsters of Rock festival on August 17, 1985, with Bon Jovi and Ratt at Donington Park in England, playing in front of 70,000 people.

[beeforsalmon1]

you do realise thats referring to the largest number of ppl metallica had played to up to 1985 ... not the actual largest gig theyv played in their career which is easily moscow

[west7productions]

Monsters of Rock

[joshpgnut]

moscow 91

750,000 to 1.6 million

[shadowsoldier492]

Are you kidding?

Lol? At one time?

I think the largest crowd they've ever played for was S&M. It was 690K I think.

[wulfy2001]

Tushino airfield... 1 mil. so they say

[Hawkallica]

Moscow 1991 was one of their biggest show according to an interview. Look up some vids.

S&M was performed at Berkley Community Center. Berkley Community Center does not hold 690.000 people.

[KissArmyHead]

ru retarded?

[doep007]

monsters of rock was over 1.000.000

[DoctorRobertBobby]

LOL@ S&M being 690k.

[Palmsorce]

Cliff Burton`s last show :((((

R.I.P CLiff

[blackex440]

humm if its in 87 your wrong ..

[blackex440]

but yes its Clff so, the DATE is wrong .. R.I.P Cliff

[beeforsalmon1]

sorry to burst your bubble, but the date is right - cos the bassist in this is jason

[stegmc1]

thats definitely jason

[whiplash505]

no.. the date is right. that is jason playing here.

[NickMoeh]

most cell phones now can take better video than this. not that im complaining, it was 1987 for gods sake.

[gera123avl]

FUCKING SHIT I Wish i was there!!!!!!!!!

[tj20x]

i Wish i could go back to live in the 80's, Damint when are they coming out with a time machine

[SCRIMandBLANK]

the audio in this changes 3 times

[TheUnloaded]

best...EVER

[Scary2Stroke]

THATS HEADBANGING!!!!! DANG JAMES

[guitarheroalmostgod]

best song ever

[Euroliite]

holy shit james banging his head like crazy

[nomad2746]

It's performances like this one that made people notice Metallica and realize that they were something different. Now, it's like "what, Metallica are playing Battery? oh ok, I can't wait for Enter Sandman next. That's their best song ever." It's just sad to see what they've become. Coasting by on the reputation they worked so hard to build.

[yfm4450]

ajfa came out in 88....... this is 87?

[mitchwheelz]

yes and Battery was released on Master of Puppets in 1986.

[yfm4450]

Fuck I knew that why that slipped my mind idk. I guess I related battery's thrashyness to ajfa

[Mechanix1911]

ajfa is mostly heavy.

[ExperimentalMetalTV]

Jesus fuck Hetfield was one fire in this performance energy is spewing out of him look at his headbanging in the beginning and his singing pure rawness.

[bispower6]

Wow, that was amazing, look at them now... fuckkkkkkkk !!!!!!!!!!!!
