Metallica - Battery (live 2000)

[jamie007700]

rip cliff, and your lead bass. may god have mer......may cliff have mercy on god

[Blackalbum100]

Love the raw guitar sound and crazy energy. Metallica RULE!!!!

[LazarusStirs]

Possibly my favorite live performance of this song. Simply fantastic.

[joshie4330]

While the one in 89 was more technically sound, there was an energy flying out of them on this one. It is by far my favorite version of Battery. A little sloppy, yes. Sounds like its the last song they'd ever play, yes. They put everything in this one and you can tell.

[LordVerdo]

@joshie4330 More energy lol! In 1989 did you see them headbanging. Jason was twirling his head like a mad man.

[mkidd95]

Dave lombardo who ? 2:43

[mynameis441]

15 people use spit to power their ipods...

[gaka234]

15 people dont like batterys

[maharef]

lol i think lars hit his finger at 0:12

[victornarizdedoze]

INSANE 

[FatherStarr]

Man... Lars WTF happened to you?!!

[aitorayala]

Who ever says that this is the best Battery performance, please check "Live Shit Binge&Purge: Seatlle '89". If you love Metallica and Metal (and I do it every minute of mi life since I was 13 -now I'm 30-) you won't have no doubts!!!

[timberlake27q3]

03:42 Man, just imagine Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers and the Twilight fans having a 'creeping death' inside Lars's bass drums ... 

[Iamphenomenalaj]

This remains my favourite performance of "Battery"....EVER.

[duffandres]

Jason blew my brain out

[NSiLazy]

i got goosebumps on place i didn't know i had.

[mhkpt]

it's ridiculous just how good they sound in this video. easily the best version i've ever heard of this song, and holy shit does this concert look epic.

[uome20bukz]

Anyone else find it ridiculously annoying how they always omit the bridge/breakdown whatever when they perform this song?

[Disposable5]

@uome20bukz yea i agree...but look up any performance of battery between 2006-2008 and they actually play it.

[TheMa1den]

I FIND THIS VIDEO THE BEST SONG OF METALLICA LIVE

[skater2000ful]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AdiMahluf]

better than the original. seriously

[xnoudi]

[aciDradi0]

[Klonkind9]

[rockgodfather]

Jason was like this is why joined Metallica not because of fuel or until it sleeps no it was for songs like this

[FabaliciousDude01]

BEAST ! TO THE MAX

[DeanFr0mHell]

HETFIELD IS ON FIAAAAAAH!!!!!

[Metalmiltia]

It doesn't get better than this!!

[ricardosz]

25 YEARS FEELING ALIVE!!

[caseyjones67]

why cant they do the intro live it pisses me off

[999m4em]

@caseyjones67 it requires 4 guitars :P

[caseyjones67]

@999m4em LOOP PEDAL

[Conraddukeagles]

When James asked "are you alive" the zombie in the crowd got sad. :-)

[Randomnick123]

[THE EPIC BUTTON]

[jorgebattery]

me gusta soy chileno

[TheNeoton]

@jorgebattery

You fucksta spaniardo.

[eoinluvsgrunge]

Lars, you fucking machine

[Swedguy97]

James's voice was really good around 1999 - 2000

[TheMetallica3]

Lars is Fucking epic

[imjustalad]

their instruments are so nice! :P

[music4lifesux]

they're so damn professional

[guruboyguruboy]

Jason is a rapist and the victim is his bass. You can clearly see in the too-few shots of him playing. Seriously how the fuck is he doing that.

[Samuel0698]

esta con ganas el video

[ChipFinnigan]

this concert was pre rehab...

[wynhons]

it's the Seattle stage!!! where's Lady Justice?

[mrfridaynight330]

@wynhons this is during 2000

[Shockermonstertruck]

after watching this,we should watch battery from 2010 or 2011. big difference but its still awesome

[bassofdeo]

this song makes me want to punt a small child

[cheoytitaseaman]

best metallica´s song

[XxMEGRENxX]

2:47 proof Lars can double bass

[inc6gnito]

@XxMEGRENxX 10 years ago XD

[band77one]

back before lars figured out how to get away with being the laziest shittiest drummer on the planet

[TheWarriorXander]

If this vid was done after James got out of rehab, it just goes to show what it did for him. He's the only one on stage visibly not sweating his ass off. I can understand Lars as he's gotta be flying around on those drums to keep pace, but the others are sweating like hell and James just seems unphased xD

[Metalmiltia]

I'm glad that Metallica are stil around, but this to me was their best line up. They rocked so fucking hard then. Whatever crap people say about Jason he fitted in so much better than Rob (And no, I haven't forgotten about Cliff). They were so bad ass then \m/

[MegaDaburger]

8 people like justin bieber

[Perkoters]

@MegaDaburger Who is he?

[mkidd95]

fuckin double bass sounds like somebody is shooting off Ak 47 with rapid fire

[yukiitaly]

WHERE'S THE "EPIC" BUTTON?

[ronyahoo07]

someone tell me the name of james guitar please

[gingerlad8000]

@ronyahoo07 It's a Ken Lawrence explorer very very rare

hand made

[ronyahoo07]

@gingerlad8000 thax

[ronyahoo07]

someone please tell me the name of james guitar

[977eli]

@ronyahoo07 I think it may be a Gibson Explorer.

[gingerlad8000]

@977eli nah he rarely uses gibson it's one of the ESP MX250's

very rare as gibson sued ESP for making it look exactly the same as the Gibson explorer

[977eli]

@gingerlad8000 Well, like you just said, it looks just like the Explorer.

[TwistedOrWeird]

@ronyahoo07 i think it's one of those custom eve explorers. pretty awesome guitar :)

[ronyahoo07]

i have a musical orgasm

[TheMightOfMax]

3:49 hoo hoo haa

[AndresSylvinho]

where did the intro disappeared?

[tedi90]

@AndresSylvinho Propably. Playing Nothing Else Matters was profanation. Metallica only to Justice for all!

[Warozo]

@AndresSylvinho they usually dont do it live

[Linkaara]

was this on the same place that seattle 89?

[tibbs2472]

Love, love, love this video. Metallica in it's finest hour!!

[metallicadestruction]

ATTENTION ALL METALLICA FANS!!!

I have a plan that might work. Every day until the end of February (longer if you want) we will watch "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. We need to celebrate Metallica with what they deserve: the highest viewed video on youtube. If you like this idea, copy and paste on every video where you know there are Metallica fans.Metallica Turns 30 this year!Rock on!

Thumbs up to help!!

[humpinghippo]

@metallicadestruction why enter sandman thats their most overrated song, why not something heavier and thrashier like creeping death or trapped under ice etc.

[Warozo]

@metallicadestruction how about something else besides sandman?

[VlaDuZa]

niice, Lars was still in shape here

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

FUCK, Metallica puts on a helluva show!

[rockonabc1]

i tried fapping to this song, but i think i strained my hand.

[Fedeleven]

One of the fans up there is Cliff I guess, who is the other fan?

[marek857]

how the FUCK do they play that so fast?!?!?!

[JvGenderen]

@marek857 Speedhacks.

[VadikMAGGOT]

SHOW ME!!!! 

[ios4ever]

For the true fans out there baby...

[TolisAllMighty]

The best way to end ur day

[gabrieliamundo]

James is so fuckin amazing! METALLICA RULEEEE!

[nin4mera]

FUCKEN BITCHEN PERFORMANCE!!!! 

[aildmark]

\m/ (x_X) \m/

[pwheeler1994]

i love Lars' shorts. XD

[metfan4l]

8 dislikes? how can anybody not like this?! awesome performance!

[thaikramom]

I wonder how much more can Lars suck... One of the worst metal drummers up to date, I give him this much. On the other hand, James is bleedin' brilliant, period.

[0914JRP]

@thaikramom You gay ! You wish to play the drums as lars in 89

[12LOTR]

@thaikramom Lars has a bad back! He can still play all of the old stuff when he wants to. Check out the dvd metallica nimes he is fucking brilliant so dont talk crap about him unless you have all the facts buddy

[thaikramom]

@12LOTR So here he just doesn't want to play it, right? Check out a very cool tumbling fill at 2:54 here. And yeah, DVD's are mostly re-recorded after the concert and even this doesn't help much in this case. So...

[Fedeleven]

Metallica and Seattle are always fire

[sidoghosh]

This was a quick version of Battery but the Seattle 89 version of battery was just fucking awesome..so awesome I don't have words to describe it.

[mirkolupo]

fantastic!



[shaboom0000]

its so orgasmically fast and awesome!!!!!!!!!

[MLmaximus83]

Best!!

[wojtekdioo]

3:41 Huj hehe

[kholiday456]

the energy they use in their performances is crazy.......how can you not enjoy a shot like the ones the put on

[shadowthehedgehog959]

James had the best voice in 2000!

[TheMetallica3]

awsome preformence

one of his best

[FinneUngen]

Sometimes when i look at my bassguitar i can just hear a sexy voice of a woman who says the word "battery............battery" :O

[lirasi57]

POWERFUL SPEED!!!! METALLICA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sammaelsvk]

incredible performance...

[kgkologlu]

I feel happy for Hetfield for recoverin and all that shit but I really miss the drunk dirty mouth front man who we don't have a clue when he's gonna blow our minds away. I find myself watching older stuff, gigs before the rehab coz it feels more Hetfield. But I also know that it's the best for a man to grow up and support his wife and children be someone they need you to be.

[Breadfan866]

@kgkologlu very well said, beautiful.

[voischatzi74]

@kgkologlu you're so right - absofuckinflutely....

[signifer19922]

@kgkologlu I only miss Hetfields old voice hehe

[Maxiamaru]

@kgkologlu I know how you feel. Although it is a big inspiration to know that if he can do it, anyone can. I'd also rather know my favorite singer as a man who respects his family and children.

[stringer630]

@kgkologlu Right on bruv. Agree completely.

[999N0t3str34k]

@kgkologlu very true bro

[Swedguy97]

@kgkologlu I totally agree. I mean, still love Metallica and I would love to go concert. But Hetfield was so much cooler in the 80's!

[weeaandy]

Lars is in a world of his own, meh just leave him lol

[805benjamin]

Yea they do I like the guitar solo it is fucking bad ass

[SnopElsker]

How the f*** can someone dislike this? I'll personally stick a Flying V up their ass. Backwards! Metallica rules! \m/

[77riso77]

popicifront...

[MJEHUR93]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



[stormnick2]

i want this dvd...!!!!

where i can find it???

[YOURLEFTELBOW]

It amazes me how clean he can keep his vocals! It's amazing :D

[Pestyi]

This song has so much power. Unbelievable!

[MrLosgalactico]

Unfuckingbelieveble

[yannhk]

fucking intensive and solid motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deltidsharmonisk]

Perhaps the most intense version ever captured.

[rammsteinvideos101]

i still can't understand how hetfeild can multitask do good vocals and strum the fuck out of his guitar at the same time. that's true talent

[JAYOGRAPHICS]

what a MEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :-DDDD insane! :-D

[xazuross]

5:00 sieg heil

[TheDroodyDoody]

This song is like sex on strings!....

[IntoDeepBlue]

@TheDroodyDoody

this shit is even better than sex :D

[TheDroodyDoody]

@TheDroodyDoody Just been desk drummin to this... HANDS ARE PURPLE!!

[TheGrimReaperTGR]

@TheDroodyDoody lol hahah love it. You made me laugh.. now have sex with me... if your a girl that is lol.

[Lucky13Vinnie]

@TheDroodyDoody A 5 minute orgasm!

[Shuikan8]

Lars should really do double kick drumming more!!

[SuperMetallica83]

Before Jason left

how insane

[GuitarManiac795]

how can you not headbang to this song

[megadeth9255]

Man that's crazy how they can play that insane rhythm perfectly in sync with each other. Fuckin' crazy

[thrashingjustin]

lars is such a joke

[beastlysk8r22]

woah his voice is back in this video, what happened?

[thelostworlds3]

jason is such a pussy why is he using a pick thats why i like rob and i dont care about jason's vocals either

[thrashingjustin]

@thelostworlds3 wow you sure are stupid. everyone has their own style. faster songs and faster bands usually play with picks on their bass. it all depends on their style. 

[Scarecrow545]

@thelostworlds3

You're kidding right...?

[RandomGuyBlake54]

Wow....what a performance

[Mailboxhead6]

Great performance, Rock Am Ring 2006 was also a very good performance, in that one they play the great lead up to the solo.

[Sharkis12]

@Mailboxhead6 I miss this part in this performance

[deadasfak]

What a performance! But the crowd is the lamest ever.

[Scarecrow545]

@deadasfak

Are you high? This is a pretty damn good crowd for the USA.

[deadasfak]

@Scarecrow545 I was a bit:) And you're right, I forget that

[Scarecrow545]

@deadasfak

Haha np

[Scarecrow545]

Goddammit, what a kickass performance, better than live nowdays.

[BearGrylIs]

i wish they would play the bridge to the solo near the end...

[poobearpanda345]

"this one's uhh... for the true fans out there baby" baby? are you serious hetfield? and jason headbanging looks so funny with his little afro XD

[AtheistFarmer]

jason's vocal is fucking freak

[tintin4561]

seattle has the best crowds
