Metallica - The Shortest Straw - Montreal 2009

[Scarecrow545]

Why is the whole crowd JUST STANDING THERE? GET YOUR ASSES UP AND MOVE, DAMMIT D=<

[KRmalyon]

5 people has pulled the longest straw¡

[ebalim]

@KRmalyon this means they are lucky

[billbenblue]

Man, I would my left fucking nut to see this song live . . .

You're lucky!!

[Tdrummer888]

WTF Lars you didn't even play the easy fills at the beginning. Laziest drummer in Metal

[klecksi123]

@Tdrummer888 What are you talking about? It's the similar to the studio version.

[billbenblue]

@Tdrummer888 If you think this is bad, look up Dyer's Eve live. Lars fucks that one up beyond belief (almost NO double bass--the very ESSENCE of that goddamn song!!)

[mnunez31]

one of their heaviest songs ever fucking epic

[Simmeringtim]

Pulled for you!

[crimsonakd]

One of my top favorite Metallica song's.

[mansoldworld]

Come to Belgrade once again 

[vegitausa]

This is the shit!

[ramus1909]

What ever happened in Metallica playing AJFA entirely for the 20th year anniversary?

[metalandi]

@ramus1909 what are yout alking about? nobody ever said anything about that happening.

[ramus1909]

@metalandi I know it never happened, I was just wondering why Metallica never played AJFA in its entirety for its 20 year anniversary like they did with Master of Puppets. I hope they do this one day cause AJFA is my favorite album by them!

[metalandi]

@ramus1909 yeah it's my favourite too, man! i think they didn't do it cause MOP was much more important to their carreer, and a lot more people know MOP better than justice, and maybe also because some songs on ajfa are really long and complicated.

[UkrRusSlavic]

@metalandi thats ironic cuz justice sold more than Master :p

[ocaldini]

james always forgets the lyrics, geee!! at least the two first parts, he made ir right!!!

[msieurthefly]

nice cam

[gmatsue84]

FUCK YEAH!!

now i wanna see those megadeth fans calling it "Rockallica" =P

[MusicBuch]

METALLICA 4 LIFE!

[Juicexlx]

AWSOME! This will NEVER go away! Best interpretation of ''The Shortest Straw'' ever to be catch on camera...

[rhoadsrules1]

awesome video

[Needleskaine]

Cool, James is using an explorer again.

[crazywrestler15]

i wish i was at that concert, they need to make a dvd of metallica concerts in hd, like that fade to black one thats in HD

[poisonoir]

Decent sound but great picture and a good performance for the old farts!...

[panayiotis131]

@poisonoir Yeah, well... Jimbo's sober and he combs his few hair sleek... He ain't bad but he's a little metal dino now... Mighty Het, calm down, have a tea and let us shake your hand for being so awesome...

[LonleyReaper]

Its beter when one1 in the audiance records the concert cuz u cant feel the music!!Long LIVE METALLICA!!

[buuuumann]

lol the crowd is going insane

[EdRulez2306]

[bobalabule]

I WAS THERE

[LeftHandedJay]

OMG , this KILLS . I feel like breaking something right now . They play their asses off . There is NO way to stop MetallicA .

[danromani]

LMAO same here this songs pumps u up so freakin much!!!!!!!

[LeftHandedJay]

Let's face it , the sounboard audio versions are a lil dull . When i got into that one , i actualy felt the real MetallicA heaviness , and that's what music is all about . That was one of a sick performance !

[MrTaco441]

livemet versions suck. bootlegs are way better

[satamique]

@MrTaco441

Yes i agree! I have a lot of bootleg vidéo from the band Rush and a lot of them have better sound than there official live DVD.

Strange...

[mankepierdasss]

@MrTaco441 what are bootlegs?

[krazeevideos]

Yeah MAN THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT WINNIPEG WAS KILLER!!!!

METALLICA KICKED ASS

[obamavszapatero]

LARS!! WE WANT MORE DOUBLE BASS!!!!

[badmotherfucker83]

this song is simply amazing...great riff, great lyrics, awesome vocals...WOW!!! METALLICA RULES!!!!!!!!!

[shawnshawn426]

[BenDew100]

sorry body, but metallica told on their web site (met on tour) quebec and montreal are the best crowd in north america haha. so winnipeg suck

[shawnshawn426]

nope. vid is proof. we rule you don't.

[amberlienly]

I love the intro

[BasKooij]

One of my favorite riffs ever, the one that starts at 0:48s.

[shadowarriortkd]

yuuuck

[ChrisGariepy]

does anyone know if the drums spin? or does he just stay in one spot all show?

[ThePistonHead23]

Spin

[SortilegeMETAL80]

it's spin

[jreyes2009]

Does anyone know the setlist!

[Juicexlx]

Both setlists (Saturday&Sunday ) are on metallica's web site! So you'll have the TRUE lists there! ;) No more searching!

[AaronH9111]

This stage is awesome!!!

We saw them Sept, 15, '09, in Cincinnati, OH. and they rocked!!!!!!

[HabsLady]

Metallica + Montreal <3 <3 <3 FOREVER BABY!!!!

[murdocke17]

Hetfield is the number one.

Great show

[HodgeMetallicaRox]

Great quality

[91WishYouWereHere]

"discriminationwide"

great lyric

[metfan500]

*This was the first time in 12 years that one of Lars favorite Metallica songs, The Shortest Straw, was played. It was last performed on February 9, 1997 in Chicago, IL. While the song is quite a rarity, it was the second time that it was performed in Montreal, last being played here on August 8, 1992.

[vanessaboyer]

MONTREAL ROCK !!!

but they had a special reason to make a smaller solo.

so dont judge montreal for that ^^

[rkosym]

une osti de bonne raison ? osti ON EST LA SEULE VILLE QUI ON JOUER STE TOUNE LA !!!! FOR THE WINNNN!!!!! ON SEN COLIS DU SOLO!!!

[pantalaemon]

believme- if yer standing in there it is ;)

james is about eight meters tall on stage O.o

[Riversyde2008]

Hope they play some of my favourites from thier old stuff.... Seeing them in Winnipeg, Oct 12th :D should be wicked!

[LordOfJahannam]

Such a great song for playing live...

I wonder why it was almost never played...

[rkosym]

problem with bass player :D jason cant do it like orion

[Kwyjibo2006]

God I hope they play this (or anything they don't usually play live) when I see them in November in Ottawa.

[kmvoss]

Did they cut the solo in half? That sucks.

[YannTremblay24]

[jbohler33]

le lightsabre terrible!

[killkrow]

nice! i was there too, Saturday show, was awesome concert, lucky u didnt get caught filming that :S

[lenmetallica]

no camera's allowed? really?

[347vubslu]

ya, getting cought filming sucks. especialy if its at the the start, if its at the end, who cares, not even the security guys care.

judging by the quality of sound and video i guessing it wasn't a large high performance cam. probably just one of those ones that would go unnoticed in a pocket...

thanks for posting the Video!

[bfswimmer]

i was not there but i was there the day after it was FUCKING AWSOME MAN IT FUCKING KICK ASS!!! WE CAN HEAR ME SCREAMING I WAS SITTING IT THE ROW 406 SEATS 15 IT WAS IN UNFORGIVEN AT 6 SECONDS !!

[lenmetallica]

[TubbyTheDestroyer]

[payasofeo69]

[TheSiCkSiDeRiDeR]

[sc8727c]

[thegerman78]

Dont forget the two nights in Toronto buddy! ;-)

[o0zeroeffect0o]

umm you're wrong. they played twice in NEWARK NJ.

[metfan500]

[ktown4life1337]

according 2 metallica, Vancouver is there fav audience 2 play for.

[rayfl0yd]

[atomic1234567890]

montreal IS the fan place

hockey

music

everything

i am from montreal

the city of craziest fans

[Kaneart2]

I was there but was this the 1st night? i dont remember it, i was only there for the 2nd show :p

[Morlyman]

Yeah, The Shortest Straw was for the 1st night. Blackened too. Best night of my life :)

2nd night got Harvester of Sorrow instead.

[nico1blue]

you must have a pretty sad life then. lol. just kidding, looks like a great time. i was at the gnr metallica roit show. must be nice to get a whole show.

[Morlyman]

Yeah it was pretty fantastic.

[slickbnx]

sicknessss

[OperationMayhem7]

damn when is he coming to toronto

[xb8ad804]

nice video, thx

[smoothmove]

this band will give you tinnitus if you dont bother to wear ear protection when you are in the front row area. the band wears ear protection...but you dont see them making light of it....a bad case of tinnitus is hell on earth...remember that!

[abdulsadiq]

i respectfully disagree man. i got the chance to see them both back to back nights in calgary last december and (while considering how 'influenced' i was) i loved how loud and 'harsh' i feel it. plus we as die hard fans can suck it up for the concert nights but they have to put on something for sure, they're doing it all week and constantly you know?

[RideTehLightnin]

Toronto is gonna have a good ol' time once the boys are back in town! xD

[CanadianRockerGuy]

If your thinking about going to see them when they hit your city, DON"T FUCKING MISS IT!!! I saw them in Montreal on Sept.19th and it was EPIC!!!! They ROCKED THE PLACE like no other band could, Guaranteed great show and great time!! DON"T BE A LOSER!! GO SEE METALLICA!! The Kings of Heavy Fucking Metal!!

[fptp01]

i saw them in vancouver in december last year it was fucking amazing, i agree with you no one should miss it.

[gregC89]

I'm seeing them here Oct 27. Gonna be efIn' awesome

[wizzear]

ca grosse coche

[skullkap1]

Sounds great! I love how Lars always jumps up right after the last note. He's one of the coolest drummers in metal!

[ipodlovergreen]

THEY ARE AN AWSOME BAND!!!!!

[2x4]

[lambofpriest]

[78igo]

how many fun to metallica there are in cuba that cant see them that cant go travel to any country to see them ,,,many of my friends who live there in cuba want and dream to see metallica in a concert i hope they would go one day when comunism is over ,,,a lot of people in cuba knows metallica and know the lyrics of their songs ,,,,and the cuban government never want those kind of shows cus they say that we dont like that music and we dont speak english or what the fuck tabarnak!!!!

[78igo]

[sirundying]

[78igo]

[Dellagos561]

wow....i saw them in nashville and only played one from and justice...

[MrTJMETAL1]

Metallica rule

[navylaks2]

Did Volbeat performe that night?, and in that case what do you guys think about that band?

[Violator6996]

no volbeat didn't perform

[gaud2029]

no it didn't, it was lamb of god and gojira

[Toma4449]

Ahhh i feel sorry for the people who decided to go to the Second show, they kinda got screwed when songs were involved.

First Show = For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Shortest straw, Blackened, Hit the lights.

Second Show = Harvester of Sorrow, Trapped Under Ice, The Unforgiven.

Even on the second show, the song After Master Of Puppets was My Apocalyspe, instead of somthing like Battery or Dyers.

Damn I feel bad for the people who thought going to the second show would be better.

[Juicexlx]

You lucky bastards got the Shortest Straw on the 19th? ;) I went on the 20th, we got Trapped Under Ice instead? Other than that, it was an AMAZING show! Metallica at it's best! EXTRAORDINAIRE!

[countelmsley]

Well we got Harvester and that was cool too. Even though the sound sucked omg it sucked

[brnleague99]

Now if they'd only play "My Friend Of Misery."

[sirundying]

i dont think they play that song often since its one of jasons

[one4havok]

Wow, that sounded good for a rarely played song.

Lars sounded solid.

[campoobutt]

It's Lars' absolute favorite 80's Metallica song. He knows it in & out.

[Marbash0312]

Didn't seem like it when he tried to record it for the GH: Metallica game. :p But well performed anyhow!

[skullkap1]

They played a bit of it in Nashville messing around. Didn't know they were actually gonna work it up. Sounds great!

[olivier409]

YEAH AND I WAS THERE!

[Dhanijel1]

Amazing!

The crowd is one fire!

[PogoMath]

Criss que sa rentre.

I was there 7th row.

Everything was awesome. The sound,the laser,the fire and... James!

Metallica ROCKS!!!

[onclesam351]

trop sick shortest straw dernière fois sa fait 10ans

[jamethe2]

man when they said we haven't played this for sine some of us were 10 years old i thought they were gonna play Dyers Eve but this is good too

[NameGenerated]

They've been playing Dyers Eve a bunch throughout the tour. There are undoubtedly some videos of it up on youtube.

[jamethe2]

yea but it would have been awesome to hear them play Dyers

[Cyrusthevirus]

They played it at one of their Montreal shows a few years ago.

[patcustom]

Les oreilles me pourdonnent encore... sti que c'était hot!!!

[rocketsauced]

That was so awesome. I was front row, and Kirk played the solo right in front of us, amazing. It was awesome to be there to see them play this song for the first time in 12 years. Being in the club is so worth it.

[MrTaco441]
