Metallica - Fade to Black (Live)

[TheFFKSupporter]

I love this song, but James' voice is just sad..

[jarteaga87]

the best live fade to black was in france 2009 but this one was pretty good too

[xxa411xx]

@jarteaga87 Seattle 1989.....

[angelgkav]

5 fuckin creatures dislike the most fuckin incredible song of metal history!!!please god save them!!!!!

[danihendrixmetal]

the voice is incredible

[madradkelli]

@ArchonKnight2 r u retarded

[ArchonKnight2]

@madradkelli Maybe I'm thinking of Nothing Else Matters... Sorry, got them confused. Knew it was one of the slower songs.

[Lolmanx200]

@ArchonKnight2 WHAT A HEAD!!!

[madradkelli]

@ArchonKnight2 

[selathael]

no man james sounds cool :D

[gerby90]

james' voice is pretty bad here, when was this recorded?

[heyikidebir]

1993

[gerby90]

ah yeah sry for asking the obvious i just noticed.

[KuugaroxTV]

would you guys agree if this fits the main character of the book catcher in the rye

[GuitarStar09]

uh no you are both wrong the song is talking about a guy comtemplating and then just eventually commits suicide

[johnstarsh]

No, At the time James was obsessed with death, But all there gear was stolen after a show so he wrote the song about it.

[Aussiemetallica]

yeah but all their gear was stolen u retard so james felt depressed and so he wrote fade to black. it just so happens that it was related to the theme of death on ride the lightning

[WojtekSzeler]

No, they created the song because at one concert somebody did steal thier stuff (Amps etc.) and their wrote fade to black.

[bfret4]

i heard that this song is about a guy who committed suicide and James heltfield and Kirk Hammett were obsessed with death at the time that why they did this song

[tpbdragon1]

uh...this DEFINATELY isnt LIVE as it states, yea I have the same BOX SET TOO...but uh..I also know theres actual VIDEO for this song.. NOT random Metallica pics and shit....

[slayer686]

who gives a shit. QQ more, it's still a damn good song and version now shut the fuck up and enjoy

[gerby90]

fact that theres no video doesnt mean it cant be live. i can definately hear a croud...

[redbuffalo15]

@tpbdragon1 oh so the crowd is computer generated? you fucking dumbass.

[DeepPillow]

gun show at 1:05

[waffle4lifeyeah]

legendary band all the others suck and for all whom disagree with me go listen to the dixie chix

[will8520]

esta version no fué filmado en dvd. pero fué grabado en mexico: Metallica Live Shit Mexico City.

[Bacon22122]

this was written when all the bands equipment was stolen which included an amp his mother which was dead gave him. it was not his first it was just special cause his dead mother had given it to him

[celetion1]

we've also played this song at a concert and we've uploaded a video of it. would be cool if you check it out and maybe make a comment.

We've also uploaded some other metallica songs played by us

CELETION

[jamieMUSICLIVESmcgee]

actually i think the live version from Seattle is the best, i actually like it more than the album version. this ones awsome too. \,,\ METALLICA /,,/

[bottehode]

The story I have heard about how this song was written is that all of the bands equipment was stolen just before their first Europe tour, so they had to cancel that tour..

[summerwine89]

not corect murf2...the first amp from james^^....you can see it in some kind of monster the movie. james playes the intro from the unnamed feeling on this amp. watch it ;)

[Vinicius420metallica]

suicidal song. but i love it.

[wittmann]

except its not about suicide.... its about James getting his first amp stolen

[murf121]

Actually this song was written by james wen his favourite and first amp got stolen....very sentimental to him. apparently he got thousands of fan letters saying how this song prevented dem from suicide

[MiTCH3632]

Best Live Version.

[yyoohhaann]

where and when is this? :)

[hugopereira14]

He was obcecado(don't know the word in english)with death.That´s why he wrote it ;)

[dingledorf1]

obsessed?

[hugopereira14]

Yeah,I don't know how to speak english very well --'

[dingledorf1]

haha no problem I could only hope to speak yours half as well =)

[buzzsaw177]

BEST METALLICA SONG ( in my opinion) =P

[buzzsaw177]

it's a song

[xpopx8]

...

still an amazing song

[slayer686]

who said it wasnt.... learn to read

[xpopx8]

i know no one said it wasnt.. i just said it was an amazing song rather somone said it was bad or not

[filo6942]

this was written when someone stole metallicas gear, including a one of a kind amp that james mom gave him before she died!

[redgibson1]

the magical, mystical marshall!!! :D

[yyoohhaann]

theres alot of stories about how they made this song, but that one is the most "common"... ive also heard that kirk was sitting with a drink at some cliffs at the ocean during a sunset and just said the words "life it seems to fade away" that storys pretty deep :D

[metallicafanlive]

@filo6942 really??:D

[MetalHalo24]

i can tell this guy is a big fan of james

[timekillerinhere]

from mexico 93 live shit

[pulltheplug22]

love when he says goooooooodbyeeee and the com on amn your w/e best live version even though its a new one

[lestat102786]

yeah this was live in Mexico from live shit binge and purge

[m4fF1n]

cool! this must be an old live show. James sounds the way he did in the early days. I think he's singing is underrated=)

[SeekandDewhiplash]

This is the Recording from Live Shit Binge and Purge CD 2

[DAMAGEDxFEAR]

i love metallica but that is not the best preformance, the solo is way of at the end only the begining and end of the solo sound right but everything else is just wah and random notes

[themercenary71]

\m/ amazing song!!!!

[wanttosexyou]

just use your ear to tune it down half step, its good training for your listening, and saves the hassle of getting your tuner out

[gunsnroses0987]

lmao i have a tuner so im fine

[yfm4450]

This is back when they did it it regular standard tuning.... Nowadayz they do this song half a step down which sucks because I enjoy playing along with my guitar....

[skateboard29]

when i get married this song will be playing

[maluuntheboon]

i thought when you die

[Bucket015]

That's pretty morbid

[dmaster5556]

You must not be very happy about getting married if you want this song to be playing.

[hugopereira14]

This song is about a person wanting to get killed -.-'

But it is pretty cool

[selathael]

@skateboard29

me 2 :D

[adamsadam9]

Great vid man, the sound quality is also surprisingly awesome, do you know where i can download this song from?

thx

[red44dragon]

at 1:05 i believe james hetfield is celebrating hitting a wild boar with a rock to take it down so that he could now eat it....cuz he is in fact that badass.

[hippie1022]

i love his explorer,kirk hammets Ouiga is awesome too!

[zolirulz]

fucking good!!!!!!:D

[D34TH1SB4CK]

i might make a vid on how to do the intro for this song idk when though if i do

[petgoncalves]

what else to say? no words could describe this song.. I vote in it for the best song of the XX century.

[jabronie25]

this will be the song i would want in my funeral haha

I love it!

[eggo2388]

me too

[traviangeek100]
