Metallica - The Outlaw Torn (Live in San Francisco, December 9th, 2011)

[throughTHEnever044]

good but.....u cant beat jason's bass :(

[Taraborn]

why didn't they play the unencumbered version? it's even better

[Xevonarin]

Load was an amazing album, no matter what anyone says. Different doesn't necessarily mean bad, folks. Love this song. No so much the vocal effect though...

[xila74]

love this song played live. everything is so so so good!

[MsMetallicaFan1996]

Dang...hetfield really..."felt" that solo didn't he?? XD

[WillBidewell]

7:05 - James has a facial expression a bit like Jim Carey here.....

[TRFSDMF]

BTW Mathias..... Great camera work for being in a crowded audience !! Looks like a band issued DVD.

[TRFSDMF]

This is a great song !! Even better when james isn't drowned out by a person with no talent singing so close to the camera. Shut that whores mouth !!

[dirtcharming]

@TRFSDMF It's the stupid effect they put on his vocals.

[GramLovesYou]

James is fucking loving that outro solo.

[MrClp1995]

omg!! white iron cross guitar!! o.0

JAMES I FUCKIN' LOVE YOU!!!

[tourdeforce17]

The version of this on S&M is my favourite performance of anything, ever. So fucking awesome to see them play it live again (even if it's not quite as epic without the orchestra =P )

[korny1992]

They should have released a dvd with this show!!!!!!!

[GunsandRosesUK]

Hetfield needs to do more solos \m/

[pvenice87]

Kirk looks so bored these days

[TheAsh13ss]

oooh yeah, I can feel it ....... reaching Nirvana....mmmm

[embassyhotel]

Ya this song & album has a lot of memories for me. I always use to listen to this song & album on my train ride home to my small home town of St.Marys,Ontario,Canada Home of the Canadian baseball hall of fame,The Quarry which is Canada's largest outdoor swimming pool,St.Marys Lincolons which are Canada's oldest Jr.B hockey team & have helped many players to the OHL,ECHL,AHL,NHL,Awesome endless snowmobile trails,

[elmasshop]

@embassyhotel Go to listen Dragonforce kid.

[MrKenbruce]

i want to dislike the two dislikes please....simply amazing. best band in the WORLD.

[cristian19861]

q temaso!!!



[neckrust]

Octaver on the mic? o.O

[marcussilvamgs]

@neckrust Yep, but i don't think the harmonizer is doing Octaves.

[yoorai20]

One of their best songs, especially S&M version is brilliant.

[TehNumberOneBigBoss]

2:07 Kirk looking at James: "He's turning me on so much right now..."

[Ununoctium1337]

The greatest (And most underrated) song of all time.

[danielleseman97]

what is the Technique called james used on 4:50??

[Guitarman8832]

@danielleseman97

Swelling.

He's just playing with his volume knob. All you have to do is have your volume off, pick the string, and then fade in with the volume. Before you hit the next note, the volume has to go back down, and repeat.

Hope that helps!

[danielleseman97]

@Guitarman8832 thanks for the information !!!

[MsMetallicaFan1996]

@danielleseman97 Volume swells. alittle bit of vibrato in there as well along with the bends. hope this helped :)

[doggue]

If I ever find a girl, loving metallica as much as I do, I'll marry her immediately

[Metallicfloydfan4l]

@doggue me too! The chances were probably much higher in the early 90s tho lol

[wakingninja]

Ive been listening this every day for a week now, the girlfriend is not happy

[testadiquarzo1]

They have to do this one with Jason Newstead.

[testadiquarzo1]

with, wasting my hate, bleeding me , until it sleeps, king nothing, one of my favourite song.

[mroc7113]

\m/\m/

[Mickthespud]

1:43 Why is there a mic going through the crowd?

[judas7206]

awesomeeeee

[wladosu]

truillo singing is so bad in the beginning ...but i understand they couldn't do it better

[wakingninja]

simply amazing, how can anybody not like that?

[MrJPDNYC]

what kind of camera did you use?

[karakenio]

Hey @mathiasnielsen66 I been checking a lot of your Fillmore videos, the're great! You really know when & where to focus the camera; is almost where I would have been looking myself. You don't get much kudos for that (+sharing them, +putting the videos in HQ) Thank you very much. And I don´t mean it just for this video, but to all the ones you have posted. Gracias.

[eville77]

Easily on the greatest songs ever!!! Hetfield is simply DIVINE!!!!

[erisferra]

To the Load detractors:this song says"Fuck You!"

[TJ12316]

This song is so about Cliff. James waitshis whole life time to see him.

[savageblue25]

i never saw james push him self soo fuking hard at the end. he really spilt everything he had right there.

[blackbart316]

I miss Jasons back ground vocals on this tune

[blackbart316]

great recording, what kinda cam did you use ?  ...ps Metallica Rules !!

[vaginagas]

Lucky fuckers get to sit around and just think of custom guitars to have made for them. God damn, if I had that money I would have a new one every few months. Not a fan of the white knockoff les paul.

[peterpanskull]

This song is so unique. Gives me goosebumps.

[peterpanskull]

Great song. A classic riff. That solo is orgasmic fuck. One of the best.

[HetfielD69MetallicA]

8.28 --> James: lars!... look at me... end it now!!.......... ok i'll play this note for the next 15 seconds...

8.43 --> James: lars, end it now asshole !!... omfg my arm is bleeding...

METALLICA!!

[nikyhammett]

@HetfielD69MetallicA ahahahahhahahaha

[monamOneX]

The reason why I love Metallica and James is that they/he is full of EMOTION ! I mean watch this !

[MegaDarth666]

white iron cross? Awesome.

[fatino1234]

You can see that James is sooo happy because they finally played that song live.

[AGBaloo]

@fatino1234 besides the time with the san francisco orchestra?

[NickW0608]

an amazing song, especially live...but lars wanna go any faster? lol

[Mark00864]

fucking awesome man =D

[outlawtorn26]

love this, but then my favourite solo is sthe outro to jump in the fire?

[exploitmankind]

I am not a Metallica hater. I'm not even a Lars Ulrich hater. I am a drummer, however. And man, it has been frustrating these last few years, knowing that I myself have played songs a little faster live, to hear that Lars has almost no feel. He plays EVERY SONG too fast, even if it's already a thrasher. Chill the fuck out dude. If you played with some feel, maybe your fills would be more accurate or inventive even, and your bass drum patterns would be noticeable.

[amouille1]

@exploitmankind I have to agree,brother.Lars is my favorite drummer of all time and I say the same damn thing every time I see him butcher a song live.No feeling at all.Unlike many drummers that SAY they could play his songs better than him,I 100% could do it because I eat and sleep his parts.I LOVE Metallica,make no mistake about it.I just wish Lars would play with more feeling.With that being said,I'm happy they played this tune (even though my man butchered it) because I love it!Rock on!

[drumgy8]

The funny thing is seeing all the "fans" that hate on Load and then they're like "this song ruuullles"...sighs..

[worldsocold2005]

So true! This song has always been awesome! But many people trashed this album but when it comes down to it is an awesome album! No its not thrash but its fucking heavy!

[gpac200]

awesome new guitar from James !! Iron Cross reverse colored

[cammpinno]

One of the best songs, it simply is overwhelming. Still remember the 96 late when I was learning to play this one according to tabs. Great stuff. Along with The House Jack Built and Bleeding Me in that era.

[jackys25]

im a huge fan of the early metallica (kill em all till justice) but i have to say this one of there best song they have ever written.dont know why but it is....

[ROOKTABULA]

@jackys25

I know why.

Cuzzit it:

Fukking

Killz

[SamPabloKuper]

@jackys25 it's the tempo that does it. It works much better live than on record, IMO. On Load, it was OK; on the Load tour, it was epic.

[cicerodm]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! 2:00 "THE OUTLAW TORN!!!

[jyotishkoray]

Can you sync this video with the live metallica recording? The live metallica recording is about 13 secs ahead. It would be perfect.

[menacer60]

@jyotishkoray agreed, this song is amazing!!

[jyotishkoray]

@menacer60 This video is perfect and with the livemetallica recording it would be brilliant. Hetfield is just on a whole different level in this.

[menacer60]

@jyotishkoray I love this, "just a bullet away, "hell and back" and "rebel of babylon", his voice is really good right now (on most songs), his last solo on this is just incredible as it was on S&M

[jyotishkoray]

@menacer60 The extended solo is just brilliant.. I love the S&M version.. but this is so good. And James was really enjoying himself and feeling it.

[xaoRa0]

the most their song

[MTLK666]

DID THEY PLAY NO LEAF CLOVER???

[MsMetallicaFan1996]

WHITE IRON CROSS!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

[icee562]

3:32 Happy James

[DamageIncorperated86]

Simply amazing performance...one of my favorite Kirk solos...goes perfectly with the song, and then James'solo at the end...drool.

[hicksroadstyle]

James' voice was on for these shows man. Looks happy to be up there too. 

[almostunrealthing]

load was the first metallica album i heard back in the 90s, and it has always been one of my favourite ones... and it doesnt contradict the love for the 80s albums, besides some narrow minded people

[TheAhmetallica]

WOW AWESOME VOICE FROM MR JAMES HETFIELD FUCK YAAAH !!!

[savageblue25]

7:36 is funny. kirk is like thinking in his head. 'how the fuk dare u, to take my position'

[Kristoffer470]

Pause at 3.32 for happy James!

[iRockstar7]

@Kristoffer470 haha fuck yeah, happy papa het

[enemyyv]

One of their most powerful songs. I would love to see this live

[TheLucekpl]

How it's called that guitar of James ?

[Paddel930]

@TheLucekpl Iron Cross from ESP

[TheLucekpl]

@Paddel930 I know that's an Iron Cross I thought that the white version have own name. But still thanks :)

[chilosin]

For those of you that didnt believe in Load and Reload when they were first released back in the day......Fuck you.....these songs are fucking powerful!!

[savageblue25]

at 5:48 kirk is like 'the hell with this neck slid'

[marklydo22]

That voice effect is awful.

[guitarmexikanguy]

@marklydo22 its what they used in the album

[manon9410]

Watching the end of the video is like having sex with James haha !

[NahBruno]

@manon9410 That's why is so awesome!! *-*

[apollo14444]

most of the drummers that bash Lars are fans of bands who can't play a solo for shit... so shut the fuck up... slayer fanboys

[imation879]

haha james looks like a rockstar not a fatass anymore(ive always loved the band)

[cearan1]

Love the way James dances during his solo

[jkjl234]

this shit is awesome. they actually look better than they have in a while here. METALLICA!

[savageblue25]

the solo is too badd-ass for kirk. thats y james had to do it

[Greasemonkey1982]

This song still gives me the chills

[KevinStarksHD]

@Greasemonkey1982 The solo literally makes me tear up. It's amazing.

[Greasemonkey1982]

When Load came out I was 14 and in a really bad place in my life. I had really no one to turn to. I'd been absorbed in Metallica for a few years by this point and had only Metallica and their Music to help me. I've said it before but they saved my life. Thank you again Metallica I will be always forever greatful.

[inc6gnito]

5 seconds of double bass = Lars died

[COSCarlos]

@inc6gnito hhahahahahahahahaha yeah Lars sucks already he needs some masterclasses cause he cant play his owns songs

[Mithaqjalali]

James Hetfield is the next US President, thank you Metallica for this Masterpiece, Long live metallica, we love you

[Danimal300zx]

Gotta say, this is the BEST performance I have seen of Metallica since Woodstock 1999. WOW...Even Lars put some effort into it and James REALLY put his heart and soul into it. He lost his METAL EDGE VOICE, but this was a great performance (playing wise).

[xxweaponsxx123]

How can everybody say that Lars sucks? He's one of the most badass drummers I know

[volkltiger]

@xxweaponsxx123 No..Hes not. His timing on even some of Metallicas best studio tracks isnt always on. His style is simple and easy to learn. Nothing against Tallica because I love the old stuff.

[MrJimmy7761]

kirk looks pissed.

[polydrafter]

Great song.

[brenz16]

Saw it live in Melbourne, fucking unbelievable!

[savageblue25]

IS THAT A NEW JAMES GUITAR!!!!

[KeeganBandMusic]

I fucking love LOAD and RELOAD

This is Brillant

[Metallicazor]

best song i think from load

[ducahe]

This song is a seething monster. Its dark and brooding to begin with, steadily grows with rage and finally explodes at the end. EPIC!!!

[vM3TALLICAx]

james should solo more he seems to like it lol

[volkltiger]

I dont even think He has a ride cymbal in that kit

[beeterolds]

@volkltiger he dont.. dont trust a drummer without a ride...

[elway0798]

@volkltiger yeah the ride left town after St. Anger.. As a drummer [myself] u need a good ride cymbal.. Guess Lars disagrees..

[volkltiger]

The only thing hard about Metallica is telling your parents Lars is Gay

[colorxoxmexox]

@volkltiger if he came out would your parents forbid you from listening to metallica? is michele bachmann your mom?

[DiGiTxii]

IRON CROSS WHITE <'3

[cullen137]

Why don't they play this live more often !?

[sixstrings4jbo]

most underrated song they've ever released

[maidenmasscare1]

@sixstrings4jbo honestly i think maybe mama said they very rarely play it live because its sounds like it country and western but if u forget the music sounds like that the lyrics are really good

[monamOneX]

damn from 6:54 James is really feeling it. and on 7:24 Kirk is like James is having his moment right now ! xD

[niv0070]

James isjust the best frontman ever!!!

[eagleeye2391]

@niv0070 right after Jim Morrison N Freddie Mercury yes

[kafor1999]

@niv0070

No Sir. First frontman is still the Godfather of heavy music: Mr. Lemmy Kilmister. And than we have James and than ...

[WGTSA]

@niv0070 yes sir, best of all...

[OleSprky]

White ESP Iron Cross?! :::JAW DROP!!!!

[Illuminati33degree]

This is a great song!! The guitars are beautiful and sound good too!

[christokaryk]

james looks so high

[Illuminati33degree]

@christokaryk Well he cant drink no mo so he took up to toking joints

[colorxoxmexox]

@christokaryk i think what it is is that he's in love with this song & with getting to play it! :)

[sixstrings4jbo]

Out of the many, many times I've seen Metallica live - I've always wondered if they'd ever pull this one out.

[CanadianRockerGuy]

cool! 

[swordsman1995]

i thought i was going to wait a lifetime to see them play this song again.

[jomasihe1]

sin palabras que chingon

[111vnderbnder111]

you guys need to listen to Rammstein: that's incredible!

[dirtbikemike69]

@111vnderbnder111 YUCK. Give me a break.

[williamtrevormcneil]

the people singing along in the verses make James sound like Satan

[JeffSeaboltVEVO]

@williamtrevormcneil lol thats the funniest thing i've ever heard! it sounds like hes in g major lol

[menacer60]

one word: incredible!!

[96Manii]

yeah the new iron cross !!

[Firewyrm10]

WHOLLY!!! This is one hell of a song. Im a metal head, life long metallica fan, and to this day love all music heavy as it can get. The Load albums are full of a TON of Metallica classics. Devils Dance, Carpe Diem, Outlaw Torn, Prince Charming, Fuel, Aint my Bitch all come to mind and you know there's more than that. It IS time Metallica fans grow up and appreciate the whole body of work, not just the first 3 albums.

[MHB2419]

@Firewyrm10 Well said! Thanks!

[DMGinc77]

@Firewyrm10 we both think the same way.I love the variety of the styles in the albums.

And yes metallica has made good music after the first 3 albums.The lou reed thing i havent even herd,and not going to.on the side note here, why do some people have to comment on every movie related to metallica,that 3 first albums were good,james blew his voice up,lars is crap and kirk is slow or something.We get all this,Let us enjoy the music,and stop the retarded comments.Your opinions are shit anyway.

[gluv1]

such an under rated song ...

[manmetal69]

I always thought the lp recorded version of this song never gave it teeth. I new it was/is a great song and this live version is how it should have been produced. Digging it!

[dread79ful]

With the exception of the brilliant early records, I like load the most, definitely more than the Black album, St. Anger, and most of Death Magnetic. The Outlaw Torn is a great fucking song.

[musasm]

too much tempo.. should have been played more slowly.

[phatmanpushimbak]

Brilliant tune...would've loved to hear Fixxxer...

[Xmetalearth]

Around 4:17 James guitar looks like it's shooting out lighting!! Freakin epic! I know it's probably the lighting effects :P.

[galart11]

After seeing Het so in this song i don't think load is kind of sellout, rather some real feelings.

[Agarcn2]

man james looks like this is the most fun he has had in a while

[wiltzer1]

how lucky can you be to watch this masterpiece live????

[Gamez4Lif3]

@wiltzer1 It's really unfortunate that they don't play it alot live because it's an awesome song

[Rancordte]

kind of shity Fx on the vocals... tho still a fuckin' good song, some people underestimate LOAD & RELOAD but i think they are really original

[conflictman03]

@Rancordte Not shitty but it was a little too much.

[hairballhead]

load is amazing wish they would play it more

[colorxoxmexox]

@hairballhead don't they play it more in europe?

[monamOneX]

Damn this is really James's song O_o all the way soloing pretty cool song

[monamOneX]

7:56 James is really living it xD

[TheShepster80]

Didn't kirk lose his dad earlier this year?

[colorxoxmexox]

@TheShepster80 yeah i read that, when they were talking about how affected he & james were by the song `junior dad' on `lulu'.....
