[RICKYSMITH96]

[mrtinkatrain]

This is the best metal band in over the world !!! METALLICA !

[mrtinkatrain]

I think that 12 person ate soup for left side :P

[aradhyasxn1]

METALLICA IS GOD..

[ghymura]

Yeahhh Mother fuckerrrr ....XD

[TheBillyMartin]

if only mustaine would've stayed in Metallica then they might be better than Led Zeppelin hahaha but they'll have to settle for 5th

[JAMESTHERIPPAHAMMETT]

@TheBillyMartin no not really, metallica probably wouldnt even be together. actually mustaine would have died. and cliff would live...hmmm...maybe then hammett would show up later. becoming classic metallica...hmmm...i would like that better

[dokokai]

@TheBillyMartin As great as Metallica is and as much as I like them (and they could be considered the Zeppelin of their generation for what they accomplished)... there's only one Led Zeppelin and they are on an entirely different, higher level, beyond any other band including Metallica (with or without Mustaine and Burton).

[TheBillyMartin]

@dokokai no shit Zeppelins the best and the only band even close is The Beatles, notice I said "might". The only album for Zeppelin i didnt like was III and from Metallica well they've had a few shit albums..

[oriyehuda1]

@TheBillyMartin

realy? beatles are probably the most overrated band ever.

and actually I like all of metallica's albums except st. anger.

[KINGCOOLJB]

Saw this tour in 91, when I was a teenager. I went to school the next day, but my hearing had not yet recovered. Really good memories, and had to fool my parents in to letting me go! They are complete garbage now, but the garage days through this tour was brilliant. I love seeing the newly freed Russian people at the time, and the soldiers especially enjoying some AMERICAN freedom and all it entails.

[SirRoadcrew]

I was a sperm when this performance was held, and I still could hear it. That's why I like Metallica :D

[MrMeltedstyrofoam]

@kostas21rok my cousin was a mistake when this happened :P

[trinex7]

This song will never be forgotten as one of the best metal songs in history. Thank you metallica for making history in music.

[AVALANCHAism]

unicoo uncioo!!!!!



[mcChobby]

Cliff was smiling down on this occasion for sure.

[nealacrocy]

[guimed7]

[Maltaskin]

[fattsloan]

I never get tired of this video

[steelrman8]

Yep Moscow. Crowd estimates were between 1.4 million to 1.6 million. One of the largest crowds ever for ANY concert. It's funny seeing all the people's comments on here how they weren't even born yet when this concert took place and how cool it looked back then..... Yeah kiddies, notice how there's no stupid ass cell phones in the crowd taking pictures. Ahh yes, the good ole days..... when people actually focused on the music and not on their phones.

[Wildelir]

Moscow?

[TJ3402]

just look off and see the millions of endless people just go on for as far as you can see  they just dont end

[MRGburninTREES]

LARS!!!

[jinmorrison27]

IMPRESIOOOOOOOONAAAAAAANNNNNNN­TEEEEEEEEE!

[TheCOB98]

[10laughungtears]

Music unites people, no matter what nationality, race, religious view.

[LeOnIdAs162]

[Ermac94]

[sexybeast507]

greatest song ever, fuck stairway to heaven sweet child o mine and all those other pussy ass songs go MetallicA, youve given us 30 great years hope to see for 30 more

[runningwhiplash]

@sexybeast507 James loves stairway to heaven

[s5b678]

@sexybeast507 I doubt Metallica would support your statement.

[arcanebop]

@sexybeast507 Woah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Just because this song is indeed better doesn't mean you should go around dissing the other bands and their songs. I listen to all of them and respect them all.

[Ermac94]

@sexybeast507 Lol stairway to heaven is one of James' favorite songs

[danin900]

@sexybeast507 whoa!

fuck stairway to heaven?

WTF!?

[Chester1004]

@sexybeast507

Insulting Led Zeppelin?!

If there is anything pussy it is Metallica after Black Album.

Go to hell fanboy!

[stormrage1221]

@Chester1004 HEY HEY! All Metallica's albums are good

[Focusmanz]

skip to 1:13 and tell me if you dont get goosebumps forever...thumbd up

[schatzschutz]

1:30 and 1:48 hetfield is so SEXY!!

[thebingaman]

The Soviet Union may have lost the Cold War, but this was a pretty epic consolation prize.

[manhthang]

6:44 too fast kirk xD

[matias1215]

terrile weno metallica

[Ermac94]

fuck man cant stop watching this, James Hetfield's Motherfucker remained in HIStory

[brandonmalo]

what the fuck is going on in the crowd

[TheBusch96]

how many people have been there?

pretty much i think xD

does someone know an exact number?

[TheUnforgiven1909]

@TheBusch96 Largest crowd ever in a Monsters of Rock Festival, with estimates between 1.4 million to 1.6 million people, considered as one of the most attended rock concerts in history. Metallica's performances of "Harvester of Sorrow" and "Creeping Death" from this show were used as B-sides for the Sad But True single in different regional editions.

[s3an1]

@the2ndwimp Lol nice. My brothers are a lot older than me and I grew up with Metallica in their prime. Not to mention GNRS too. Why the youth of today are fed on a diet of crap and noise with a gallon of Pop, it saddens me. They will never grow up to appreciate real talent or what a real band represents!.

[Tha2ndWimp]

@s3an1 It is indeed sad. I actually got into Metallica because of Guitar Hero. My friends and most people around me never listen to rock, so I didn't really start listening to rock/metal until I was 18... which is sad, because I probably would have picked up the guitar myself a lot sooner if I had got into rock/metal earlier. Oh well, I guess it's not too late to get somewhat decent at age 20 ^^

[krone900]

@Tha2ndWimp

Your age has nothing to do with your poetential to learn. If you've got what takes to be good then you'll be good, even if you start playing for the first time in your 20s, 30s, 40, and beyond.

[10predator]

ATTENTION ALL METALHEADS!!!

On the 15th October 2011 will be the 30 year anniversary of Metallica forming. This band comprised of mere men no different then you and me, have graced this land with music in its purist form for 30 glorious years. To them we owe them the honor of having the worlds most viewed video on Youtube! A title one little idiot doesnt deserve. Up until and also on the 15th October 2011, all metalheads are required to watch Enter Sandman live at Moscow! Post this EVERYWHERE!

[azer2525]

[Ermac94]

I was 4 when this took place. At first I couldn't stand Metallica and now they are in my top 3 favorite bands. I picked up playing Bass all because of Cliff Burton.

[dababoe]

[mikken12]

Dear dislikers,

The Metal Militia will seek and destroy you all nightmare long to get you trapped under ice. If you somehow escape, you will ride the lightning. The Master Of Puppets wont turn the page so you'll be unforgiven even after u die, die, my darling. So, pray to the god that failed you because you won't stand one chance. I know it's sad but true, but that was just your life. It's bleeding me of how people hate this, and whoever dislikes this in the future, you'll be unforgiven 2!

[TheMotivated]

The drumming is a bit outta rhythm. Other live performances of "Fade To Black" are really good

[Unclebeamis]

LONGHAIRS!!!!!!

[Unclebeamis]

@metal97100 Your comment wont get the like button soory I know how badly you wanted it.

[Ballinjw]

[Ermac94]

[edgenail85]

Fuck man, im just glad as shit that they are still around and rocking every mutha fucking stadium. Who gives a who if they don't got the same flame as they used to before. That ship has sailed and doors opened for bands like BFMV and Trivium to further the torch. But however, Metallica are STILL HERE TO STAY!!!!!! Can I get a HELL YAH!!!!!!!!!!!

[CamPeelo]

Little Kid Kirk Hammettttt :)))) x)

[363Magi]

Epic

[FLOWMATIC86]

Jason the best vocals!!!!

[SlightlyInsaneX]

I wish i could meet jason cliff and d lads all together and rehearse this song with me on drums long live metal

[xDrummerJx]

I fucking love the double-bass that comes in at 5:53!

It just helps make the big ending of the song so much more powerful in my opinion, and adds some sexiness to Kirks solo.

Long live Metallica, Long Live Metal! \m/ //^_^\\ \m/

[lucasmellencamp]

who ever doesnt like the thrash gods, someone should seek and destroy you

[RyanAitken95]

and good bye.............MOTHER FUCKER!!!!! (L)

[nanomgm44]

The "Heavy" Requiem

[BearGrylIs]

i think people forget, that the solos you are used to hearing on the album, you listen to over and over, so you get used to it, then you hear it live and they decide to improv a little, and people are like "HE FUCKED UP!" well guess what fuckers, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MADE UP THE SHIT! THEY CAN IMPROV IT IF THEY WANT, WHEN YOU REACH THE STATUS METALLICA IS IN A BAND, TALK SHIT THEN!
