  • james voice dont sound too bad :D

  • This shit is fucking bad ass.

  • Solid performance and it just proves they continue to hammer out the classics at their old age \m/

  • metallica...has sooo many...badass songs

  • Great performance! Awsome Song! Chears Metallica!

  • WTF the song live is too slow !

  • metallica live sucks, lars is horrible, needs a metronome

  • why did he rape the solo with wah pedal

  • @leviathon18 He didn't just rape it with wah, he raped it altogether. Just traditional boring pentatonic scale improv instead of all the wild harmonics and tremolo dives :(

  • @leviathon18 agreed. lazy soloing. that solo originally was technically epic. kirk appears to have lost his chops and is a shadow if the guitar player he once was. shame, as hetfiled still churns out riffs, vocals and metal just as tight and as raw (minus the booze) as he ever did...

  • Amazing. Kirk is fucking shredding the solo, and the entire time the camera is on Rob.

  • @ninjagod1337 Man with camera thought that Rob was playing this solo)

  • Fucking cool live performance!

  • one of mys favs

  • WTF !!! U lot must have shit speakers because there is clearly double bass in this performance. Didnt u see the motion capture which Lars did for this song on Guitar Hero Metallica (which came out in the same year as this performance), yes it took him a few attemtpts and the drums he did it on wasnt real im not disputing those fact but when he finally gets it right u can hear him using double bass. I bet half of u who mentioned that there isnt double bass in this song arent drummers anyway :@

  • "Escape" hasn't been played by then since they were in their mommies' respective wombs.

  • @purseonal2010 James can't stand this song so they won't play it.

  • @conflictman03 Believe it or not, another band DID cover it. I don't know who. I heard it last week here on YT. I was like "Noooo! That's NOT 'Escape' by Metallica." The song isn't the greatest, but they put it on RTL for SOME reason! Who liked it? Lars?

  • @purseonal2010 James wrote this song because their record label wanted one of their songs to be played on the radio. So I suppose Metallica didn't like this song because it was too commercial.

  • @conflictman03 Well, yeah. They weren't into commercialism back then. Who knew that 20+ years later, they'd be a household name, known the world over?

  • Actually I'm french and it's pretty funny to read some old french hard rock magazines talking about Metallica's first performance in Paris in 1984 (i'm not sure for the year). They were like "Iron Maiden and Metallica aren't music they're just making noise on stage, the only good thing in The Number of the Beast is the artwork" and now all these guys consider Metallica like one of the greatest heavy metal band of all time and The Number of the Beast like a masterpiece...

  • Comment removed

  • @conflictman03 There ya go.  Some bands just grow on you. Other bands, you know right from the start that they are fuckin great, and have a bright future ahead of them. I found it funny that on a website i was checking out yesterday, on which band is the heaviest, they listed Metallica #1. There was Slayer, Testament, Lamb of God, Kreator, and even Meshuggah listed, some very heavy bands, yet people chose them #1. Could this person who made the list be just a bandwagon jumper? It was funny!

  • Comment removed

  • HAHA! "Eye of the Beholder" hasn't been played by them live since they were 2!!

  • That motion capture for GH Metallica really helped Lars out on his timing for this song didn't it? lol

  • Is it wrong that I like their modern live version of this song bettet than the original studio recording?

  • So, this is what this songs sounds like with bass guitar... sweet.

  • Coming from a drummer who loves Metallica yet still plays with a single bass drum pedal 'cause it's all I need, I strongly agree. Metallica kicks ass regardless of whether Lars is playing double bass drum parts for one measure or not. Double bass drum parts doesn't make the song any greater and it doesn't define what a great drummer is... John Bohnam being the ultimate example of that.

  • And the double bass?¿ :SS this is why i love the song :/

  • I'm so glad that Metallica is re-learning their stuff from ...and Justice For All, that my opinion of they're best album...only thing is that I hear a distinct lack of prominent double bass drums during this performance.

  • hahah this is the song Lars couldnt play on that guitar hero simulation thing

  • Metallica hadnt played this because Jason did not have the guts to play this song. That's why I respect Rob, he has the guts to play the hard songs with the bass that was composed by Cliff.

  • @HetfieldMetallicaWWE Hey idiot, I don't know if you're trolling or what, but um...Cliff was dead when this song was written...and Jason was fucking awesome! Watch Live Shit and then tell me he sucks

  • @SweatyDinosaurMask Okay man. I know i got that thing wrong, but still Im sure Jason was the one who doesnt like to play it.

  • the people moaning about no double bass need to get better speakers or headphones or ears or something. 1:52 2:46 4:11 4:51 6:03

  • @KarmaAmputee They need better ears because i have a headset for 14 bucks and can hear it

  • the kirk's solo are out of time of the song in the end, but he have player so good

  • Kirk's Solo..OMFG!!!

    Problem, haters?

  • Is double bass a fucking measure to make good songs or?

    1. He does use it you just can't hear it cos of the dodgy audio.

    2. Dude is near his 50's give him a break.

    3. Suck it. :-)

  • @Jacopsman

    mike mangini is near 50 also and was just announced dream theater's new drummer, so i don't consider age an excuse.

  • @MParseface38 then i wanna see you playing double bass etc at that age

  • @rtz4

    check mike mangini.

  • @Jacopsman but what's the point of making a kick-ass double bass beat on a song if you won't play it anymore in the future???...that's the thing that i don't understand....i mean, lombardo and lars are almost the same age and lombardo is a machine gun....anyway, Lars is one of my favorite drummers, but it's so sad...

  • @Jacopsman fuick you

  • i think its sad that metallica is making song with double bass and when they play live lars doesnt even play the double bass

    he only plays one with double bass

    but even hetfield can play One on drums

  • @samuelhimself what about fight fire with fire and Trapped under ice? They play those live and he does double bass, also he is older so he probably cant go as long as he used to

  • whats the intro song

  • @drumguy432 the end of the line

  • I smile every time I watch Metallica live, its such a joy to watch. :)

  • 18 People got the Shortest Straw.

  • How great do Justice songs sound with audible bass?  And yeah, Lars has eased off the double kicks lately...

  • how great do Justice songs sound with audible bass?!

  • they skipped a part

  • @JonMan1994

    Give me a break. Its not like I'm asking for a 260bpm sixteenth note burst here. Just play the BEST part of the song like you USED to do, not half-assed. Oh, and BTW, Lombardo and Benante still manage to do all of their fills live...and THEY dont get the cushy treatment Metallica get as "road dogs on tour". Not to mention, their drum parts are more physically exerting than any of Lars'. Oh, Dave is 46 and Charlie 48. Lars is 47.

  • it feels like james doesnt mean the lyrics any more. sorry if it sounds sad but that what this sounds like to me. the song is awesome and the performance is awesome too but just the feeling seems to be gone.

  • god this song is soo thrash!!

  • @rattleXhead its Trash not trash, your mum is trash but this song is fucking TRASH

  • @zlickDude you stupid fuck!! i typed thrash not trash, learn to read u fucking inbred piece of shit!!!

  • @zlickDude You dumb ass its fucking THRASH with an H, not TRASH you dumbfuck. And you said it 3 times. How fucking stupid can one get. FAIL!!!!!!!!

  • oh my god james voice is still so powerfull!

  • @JonMan1994

    Yeah, because Vinnie Colaiuta (age 55) couldnt play this in his sleep night after night. Or just about any of Lars' contemporaries in metal, who tour as much as Metallica and play far more challenging stuff night after night. Its not like I'm asking him to play 260bpm Kollias double bass fills. And if you watch Lars' live, he does this with all of the old stuff, not just this song. It just stands out here because the original had such cool fills, and he doesnt play them anymore.

  • 4:50 look, it's a shot of lars' feet, and he's playing double bass. You just can't hear it because they always mix the double bass terribly in the live met videos, MORONS

  • @chestus12 That's his hi-hat probably :/

  • Yeah...I was at that show when they were 10. I was the 1 year old in the pit. =)

  • Booo....Lars doesnt even do his tom fills in this song, never mind the lack of double bass. Why bother playing this song when the drum fills are the best part? And they screwed up the solo, it sounds like the rest of the band skipped over a few bars and Kirk wasnt expecting that.

  • @blppt your a typical metallica whinger. ther's so many of you these day's you could have your own country or something.

  • @nitogrof1

    Erm...what is a whinger? I dont think its too much to ask for Lars to put a little effort into playing songs properly considering the boatload of cash he gets for each show.

  • Wow! This is great..... Almost like listening to the original CD.... Too bad they didn't stay with this more progressive and challenging type of music and sold their souls to corporate "metal" pop of the late 90"S, early 2000'"s.........

  • @kaledean and justice for all

  • Lars use the double bass. But it's not a DVD quality so we listen not good ... But when you listen this musique on your IPOD we listen his double bass !

  • wat album is this on.

  • dude, they should play more of justice, no offense to cliff burton (i'm a bassist and he's my legend), but it was their peak (even though I prefer listening to ride the lightning). I don't care if it's much harder to execute than anything else, that's what they're there for!

    Justice is more thrash than kill em all, and we all know it had a bad mastering, so! give us live what you didn't in the studio back in 88!

  • @PaoloBaixista not more thrash, but definitely more heavy metal!!!

  • butchered solo :(

    

  • @NTROPYK the solo wasn't to bad. In his defence they don't play this song to often. Perfect no, butchered no.

  • 6:20 Lars said, "You Mother Fuckers on Youtube still think I suck?!?!"

  • @JakeTheArmyGuy and i said, "yes we do"

  • those who say that 'tallica isn't trash..........sholud reconsider being alive!

    

  • Veeryy goood....!

  • 18 people has pulled the longest straw¡

  • @KRmalyon surely you mean the shortest straw

  • @vincentmack37 look at the tumbs

  • when are they going to perform frayed ends of sanity?

  • @souerman123 Trujillo said in a interview that he's trying to put Frayed Ends and Eye of the Beholder on the set list of 'Tallica's concert for years.

  • @marcussilvamgs that sucks!

  • Crowd goes nuts for an obscure song.

    Metallica has the best fans in the world.

  • Lars can't hit the double bass anymore u_u

    Miss the Old ´Tallica

  • @MG15Rx He can, it just seems he is to lazy to

  • @MG15Rx Yes he can just the shitty audio cant pick it up look uo nimes frace youll see he can

  • i got my face puunched by metallica

  • fuck the solo is the best part and you cant even here it

  • The shortest straw has been pulled for you . bin laden

  • @Garrick7477 xD

  • yeah! Lars finally passed this song in Expert. He still can't do it on Expert+ though.

  • very nice! your intro lol

  • I FUCKEN LOVE METALLICA!!!! LIVE FOREVER METALLICA!!!!

  • i was pretty dissapointed that they didnt play this when i saw them.

    At least they played Blackened :D

    'Tallica for ever!

  • Comment removed

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 Lars has been getting pretty lazy in live shows. I've noticed that quite a bit.

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 Lars uses mic's that are horrible when it comes to recording a DVD, when he is in the studio he uses different mic's...I was there at this show and there was tons of double bass, just can't hear it well on the recording. Check out Live in Mexico DVD or Nimes France DVD...he was using different mics and you can hear all the double bass and it's awesome!

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 yeah ive got the live in mexico city and lars whips out double bass all over the place, especially at the end of ride the lightning he tears that shit up!!!!

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 You deaf? He played plenty of double bass.

  • @DustinFarleyTV Really, i can't hear any double bass sound in this video.

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 its very hard to hear, but its most definitely there. the way they capture the bass drum sound for livemet is fucked up so you can't hear it worth a shit. i dont know what the problem is but i wish theyd fix it. before you say im full of shit, watch some fan recorded videos and you can hear the DB better. also the last 2 times ive been to their shows i specifically listened for DB and its absolutely there because you cant just hear it you can feel the thumps throughout your body

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 he did, u just cant hear it, shitty audio

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 Youtube videos don't do Metallica concerts justice. I saw them last month and believe me, Lars still beats the double bass like a mother fucker.

  • Ok guys. I didin't say anything. Please, don't like my fucking comment any more.

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 he plays just eq'd bad

  • @MonkeyDonkey18

    C'mon man, hes at or near 50. He cant do that shit as much anymore.

  • @WAFFELS24 Dave can do it... I'm just saying...

  • @MonkeyDonkey18 your deaf, or have shitty speakers he is playing the double bass parts. I saw him do this song live as Well in Ft. Lauderdale and it was loud as fuck

  • lars fuckin loves dunt he. in fact they all do

  • yeah¡¡¡mother fucker¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • Dude cmon. not so good!!

  • great song!!

    i love metallica

  • I love Kirk's metal voice.

  • 6:10 is a thing of beauty. Wish somebody would have taken a snapshot right there.

  • Yeah, this is freakin' awesome, but I wonder why they take out that part of the song right after the solo now...

  • man this song is good but this time it sucked, a part of the entire song was left out, not to mention, most bands play every song exactly as the album version, but lars is skipping on the fills, some songs are still awesome by metallica, but I hate to say it I am starting to like some new bands, metallica is getting old lol They definately deserve their place in the rock and roll hall of fame, but I think they're days are numbered. =(

  • @Number01hunter Lars just wants to play faster than Dave Lombardo and Shawn Drover. 

  • @Number01hunter nearly 30 years man, what did you expect?

  • The 16 dislikes are people who don't appreciate a kick ass song like this. I know James said 10 years old but I believe when they started playing this at shows 1997 was the last time until the Death Magnetic tour.

  • Holy shit, they totally changed the middle solo section!

  • I think that Lars is just getting old , that's probably the reason that he cant play the double bass

  • lars left leg is amputated?... wheres the god damn double bass. im a big metallica fan since 84, but sorry folks this is not metallica .

  • @kabasti No he is playing double bass, it's probably the sound quality from the concert. It was the same way in Toronto when I went, we could barely hear Lars' bass or toms.

  • those 16 persons that dislike can kiss my ass!!

  • Caracas was the loudest crowd of the Latin America!!!

  • fuckin love this song

  • It's sad that they have shortened the solo ! =[

  • @monamOneX I know! That solo was a masterpiece!

  • It's all Lars stupid mics ! I'm listening to the song now with my headphones I can hear that he's doing the fills in the song but it can be heard very hard !

  • They're so awesome that I'm sure they could play this song when they were 10 years old.

  • Wait, is that the EET FUK guitar? Looks like it.

  • This song is just fucking beautiful with bass.

  • @crazyboyxx yeah man, he played awesome solos on Justice.but now he says that he combines pentatonic and mode scales in most of his playing, which i say is pretty awesome. it's also cool how he can just improv in certain parts of his solos live. in this vid though, the solo is not the best

  • Ah.. the shortest straw with bass... its a beautiful thing

  • how are they not about to film Kirk during the best solo he wrote on AJFA, what the hell

  • does anyone know what tuning there guitars are in for this song?

  • @mnunez31 The studio version is standard E. I think this one is a half step down due to Jame's voice.

  • @crazyboyxx there is absolutely no sweeping on AJFA but there certainly is some arrpegiation

  • Sucks lars cant do str8 double bass longer then 10 seconds anymore... lol

    Makes the sound sound not so heavy.

  • @FurFagWolf Well if you watch live in Nimes 2009 so i think you change your opinion

  • @FurFagWolf what do you expect from a 47 year old man... he's old now... 

  • 3.06 James went quagmire...Im pretty sure he said "Giggity" lol

  • @gamerinsideu16 lmao he sounded like it

  • @gamerinsideu16 no he says deluding, but it could have been giggity, bet the text says deluding

  • @burmas9595 I'm not a betting man....But you can never be sure, Some of the girls in the front row are pretty hot if we're honest...Coulda got 2 much for papa het

  • @gamerinsideu16 ahah yes it's true!

  • @gamerinsideu16 LOL HARD XD

  • @gamerinsideu16 lmfaoooooo

  • JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL TO THOSE 16 POEPLE WHO DISLIKE

  • the people who did not like this video has the shortest straw

  • All their souls from the 80s got into their bodies.

  • The Shortest Straw hast the best solo Kirk ever played!!!

  • They should play stuff like this instead of playing Enter Sandman or Nothing Else matters !

  • I hate it when you cant hear Lars's drums :( he really kicks ass with them. Watch Live in Nimes 2009 if you dont belive me.

  • @Zopetzo how can you not hear them?

  • @DruumStixx Sorry I meant bassdrums :D

  • @Zopetzo yea the mics are probably reaalllyyy low

  • sad enough they didn't play this amazin' song for soo long

    a healthy mix consisting of double base and motherfuckin' badass guitar and vocal parts

    metallica 4 life hell yeah !

  • this was a epic moment

  • I drove 14 hours 1 way in a rental car to get to this concert and when they busted this out I turned around and hugged a random stranger

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 lol i would as soon as i got in there....i love metallica...been a metal head since i was old enough to listen metallica is my favorite band they can do no wrong god metallica fuckin owns

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 you're my idol.

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 i dont blame you..i wouldve too..this song rips

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 yeah ... that was me lol. NOT

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 Fuck yeah man...I did the same thing when they played "Dyers Eve" in Hamilton in 2004....I was banging my head 192873645 miles per second while everyone else was like"What song is this????"But when "sandman"starts everybody starts pogoing like they're at a Korn gig....fucking SHITE!!!

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 Wahaha, big fail, he was looking strange or not?:P

  • @bobomcfuckfuck420 hahaha!

  • love this stage

  • now this is pretty amazing!

  • james`s old powerfull voice was the best thing of that song .... 

  • james`s powerfull voice was te ebst thing of this song ... now it`s strange to hear this song with that voice

  • a bout that dudes said ...I missed for James old voice ..its silly ,every thing change and you face to new Metallica by new James!!as you dont know..

  • i liked it so much...the 16 peopel are deaf ...
