Metallica - The Outlaw Torn (Live 2009)

[Antimalwaregeek]

I was there. Can't believe it's nearly been 3 years since I saw this amazing show!

[masterankerich]

I actually prefer James' solo on OT.

[spiderman007sl]

...then people think that Metallica would be best with Mustaine, You can see VERY GOOD Mustaine's skills on Cementary gates with Dream Theater. Kirk Hammet is the King!!!

[JosueRocke]

James hits me when he sings "OUTLAW TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!" *----*

[hopper11995]

I think its better with a orchestra.

[Sousleek]

bad. didn't pumped. Lars playing too fast DAMN TOO FAST (((((((((((((

[ianomsberg]

vapo, i'm so sorry sun

[camilinhaecarlinha]

isso e um som q meu ouvido nao merece

[chem6269]

time was never on my side...

[aspizak]

i was there :-) it's (info via livemetallica) first time they played it in Europe without the orchestra :-) great song.

[Metallicazor]

one of the best and most underrated songs of metallica

[666Nakaza666]

AM I wrong or many ppls actually dont know this song, and thy where there :D

[TheGhostlord]

Epic song :D

[destructionman1]

I don't care what people say about Load and Reload.  I LOVE them!

[WatTyler13]

One of Metallica's finest moments. They's become a grown-up metal band. Don't get me wrong - I love the thrashy stuff too, but there's more to it than just playing fast and hard.

The stuff with Lou Reed is as fucking shit as this is brilliant, though.

[ultrasfrontbotev]

If I listen to the song not knowing which band is it I'd love it! Knowing it is Metallica and comparing it to their thrash metal times... thumbs down ...

[ILCORVO78]

The beginning of this song is sooooooo cool...I might use as my mobile phone ringing tone!

[1DeathEater]

A really great Metallica song.. I wouldn't call it origanal though, even though it's one of my most favorite songs... Also, I LOVE the fact that you can just barly hear the crowd sing along..

[inedible99]

shittest Metallica song ever

[piechulla1966]

@inedible99

If even this nice piece is too puristic and extreme for you, maybe you shouldn't listen to "Lulu". At the moment, Metallica is transgressing all boundaries. No more commercial shit for kids. Finally, they are making serious music for grownups! This is great :-)

[nando88]

i love the groove at the end

[savageblue25]

this is the fuking reason why jamez needs to do a solo once in a while

[savageblue25]

4 poeple are cops

[xXxUnforgiven]

they should always play this song...

[1DeathEater]

One of the greatest Metallica songs EVER!!!!!

[MrFranztastico]

PS This is my favorite Metallica song

[MrFranztastico]

Yeah, I think the same, is stupid say that Load is the worst Metallica album, listen the influences of this awesome band in this fantastic album, and you'll see that not all in life is hard metal... Sounds like evolution babe...

[dalzelljack]

@MrFranztastico yeah man, i've been saying that metallica never sold out, but tried to expand their musical boundaries, they didn't care about the money or the fame, they wanted to see how it would work out playing a different style of music

[MrTenacious1]

Thanks for posting. One of Metallicas most Epic songs, just saw an article naming Load as the worst metal album of all time, I posted this song as my retaliation. Just cause its not "kill em all" doesnt mean it sucks. It means Metallica is always changing, and evolving, and thats what makes them my favorite band of all time. Thank you again!

[emadmoudyesso]

metallica will never die

[51ANARCHY]

Mama Said is also great!!

[51ANARCHY]

Best song off the Load album!!

[lordofleaves]

I personally ADORE their slower bluesy songs from Load/Reload like Bleeding me, Fixxxer or Outlaw Torn.

[irongoatball]

The best song from Load is...well...all of them!

[MetalMilitia393]

This song is living proof that Load is a fucking amazing album

[vamane1]

@MetalMilitia393 YEAH FUCKING A 1ST CLASS ALBUM very very skilled album very underated and more should hear it,one of the best albums to drive to ever.

[TDGDisturbeD]

i don't have a fav song,I LIKE THEM ALL,I LOVE THEM ALL!!!

[Decimal51]

My top three favorite Metallica songs are:

1- Fade To Black

2- The Unfofgiven

3- The Outlaw Torn

Greatest band in history.

And don't be dissing rob, he's doing his best. Who cares if he sounds and looks like a gorilla. He's obviously good enough to satisfy the members of the greatest, most popular metal band ever. So let it go. He's trying his best!

[pirates2014cc]

The reason why they don't make their songs, after the black album anyway, is because they play it the way they wanted it to sound not the way bob rock mixed it so that's why there's a noticeable difference

[ReePa666999666999]

what the mother fuck does robs voice sound like, holy crap it sux!!!!!

[jotapeh87]

f*cking monkey, I want Jason back! xD

[guitarock83]

One of the few post cliff burton songs i like!!!!

[ovProphet]

yeah, solo is amazing!!

[mexiryan]

This song has quickly made its way into my top 3 Metallica songs.

1. Wherever I May Roam

2. Trapped Under Ice

3. The Outlaw Torn

[GugoBYW]

Load is a masterpiece...

[Poettshii]

@GugoBYW To be honest, at first i didn't like Load at all, but now i know it's indeed a masterpiece like you said :)

The Outlaw Torn is my 3rd favourite song of Metallica.

[Poettshii]

Lol, James is totally amusing himself :)

8:01 - 9:08

[chrisldavila]

It goes a long ways if kirk and james sustain there notes longer

[chrisldavila]

Metallica is so freakin lazy live! They make no effort to make it sound like it does on the albumn. And wtf trujillo?! Lol "bluh bluh.... bluh bluh".

[MrCOLLINSKRIS]

Terrible!

[Kurturmis]

i got chills from that solo wow

[thibaut1892]

Great performance from the whole band!

The outlaw torn is for sure load's masterpiece.

[Psywreck]

Does anyone know what sort of effect Kirk is using at about 8:20?

[MrMertgul]

İt's amazing solo ? Kirk you shouldn't be human.! and I'm wondering when kirk playing solo he throws up something to behind. What is that ? I'm wondering and waiting responds.

[jay15944]

@MrMertgul A slide. It's typically used for country/blues solo guitar but Kirk used it a lot on Load (Outlaw Torn, Ain't My Bitch, Bleeding Me), and he used it quite well. It also takes a lot of skill to go from slide to normal guitar by ways of throwing it off.

[blauegitarre]

@MrMertgul He throws a guitar slide that he was using on the first part of the solo. It's those metal tubes guitar players put on their fingers for that delta blues sound.

[HorstKirkPageKian]

@MrMertgul it's called a bottleneck - if you google it you will find lots to read about

[Str3tchnut5]

@HorstKirkPageKian The technical term is a "Guitar Slide" ;)

[tatbas29]

@MrMertgul i don't know if you know now, but he threw down his slide bar.

[kurtiscollette]

@MrMertgul more commonly known as a "slide" not bottleneck.

[Ivanisasi]

@MrMertgul Its also called Slide

[bottolf68]

@MrMertgul He use a bottleneck, its a kind of slide, you can hear the effect in the solo. So when he is done, he throws it away

[dirtbikepro64]

@MrMertgul Its a slidder its used to slide up and down the neck of your guitar and it makes cool effects when you slide but with a wah its awsome , if you play i suggest getting one

[volkltiger]

@MrMertgul ...the bottleneck is for playing slide

[vamane1]

@MrMertgul yep kirk must be surely 1 of the top 5 guitarists in the world now

[musasm]

Song is epic but back vocal is epic fail too. Miss you jason

[metallicaos]

this is a great piece of song! =) a down one, like low man's lyrics! love both!

[TeaDrinker3000]

It kills me when Metallica fans disregard Load ReLoad and St. Anger :(

[kaynewarrior]

I've made a mistake on believe that Metallica would never play a song from Load...

Thank God I was wrong!!!!

Amazing!!! I miss Jason Newsted

[kaynewarrior]

I've made a mistake on believe that Metallica would never play a song from Load...

Thank God I was wrong!!!!

Amazing!!!

[octaviasofia1]

Thanks god.... at last one person who loves changes... METALLICA is and always be the best band of thrash metal

[Sharkis12]

I fuckin love this song

[rawkgawdez]

james hetfield. guitar god. metal master. hottest beast on planet.

[WhiiplashOne]

Memorize your lines Rob!

[Jigsawserialkiller]

so fucking beautiful...

[jasonmildward34]

THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING BAD ASS I LOVE THIS MORE THEN ANY SONG NOW OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAsh13ss]

one of the best songs...

[os12]

This is probably one of the best performances from Lars in the last couple years

[LaDuker2010]

Awesome performance!

[NickW0608]

james looks like guitar god at :47

[frododay]

@NickW0608 looks like?

he is dude!!!!

[albyuke]

@NickW0608 he looks like "oh my god i'm enjoing and lovin my music, i'm havin an orgasm!"

FUCKING AMAZING!

[mrkd]

one of the best songs in LOAD album

[ign6]

this is one of my favourite Metallica´s songs

[polkadotpuss]

shit... rob... you better shut up and play bass. i knew gorillas can't sing.

[feoypeste1]

LOAD AND RELOAD AREN'T BAD CD'S !!! ALL THIS POWER IS THE PROOF !!!

[FredDude27]

I've always thought that this track was a great match for James "new" voice )compared to his old Black Album and earlier voice)

[suddu84]

Well they do need to encourage rob on taking the initiative on the back up vocals...but yeah Jason's energy will be missed...herfield sounds so fucking awesome even at this age...man gotta love this song...

[suddu84]

One of the most underrated Metallica songs.....superb bass..excellent guitar solo...would definitely put the guitar solo in the top 100 guitar solos of all time...n yeah..freakin awesome lyrics.....finally...james still kicks ass

[nemodethwish]

lo que frutea lars es increible jajaja aprende a tocar rata!!!!

[gunsr4kids]

most powerful solo

[orothien]

why is james soooo bored, looks like he doesnt wanna sing

[erhanaksoy]

robert's back vocal is shitty..

[panco145]

7:17 to the end is fucking awesomeeeee

[RayB50]

They actually played this live!?? I've seen them 5 times since '03 and never heard a single Load song live!

[Scarecrow545]

@RayB50

They played it again in 2010. There's a few really good King Nothing and Devil's Dance performances around 08 as well, and I believe they played Wasting My Hate in 2004.

[CopycatAoW]

Hahahahaha!!!! Rob can't sing for shit!!!!!

[OjTheDuckInce]

one of their better songs since they became shit 20 years ago

[fikingCZ]

FUCK! I WANT THIS VIDEO IN HD/HQ

[gpac200]

kirk tosses away the bottleneck slider At the end of the solo haha badass. hes like im done w u !! time to solo like a badass lol

[whatever13130]

this solo...wasnt goood

[Coldsaw93]

@whatever13130 The whole Song is a Solo...

It´s a Vocal Solo!!

[whatever13130]

@Coldsaw93 mean the guitar

[zer0sv]

trujillo`s permonce was mediocre on this song

[opiumrebel]

With all the heavy guitar shit going on, people overlook the fact James is an awesome vocalist, he sings in a very high key.

[PepDrumLow]

This crowd was really fuckin lucky!

[Thalaimusic]

I like how Lars taps the tempo from the start, just to fucking fail at the first snare hit of the song. Such a recognized and awesome drummer.

[lfgalbraith]

@Thalaimusic Hahaha I had to replay it three times to see if I was hearing that correctly. He is a God on the drums, indeed

[medievalsweetie]

One of my favorite Metallica songs!! Rock on James!!

[GugoBYW]

James' voice...wow.

[Poettshii]

@GugoBYW I know right, it's f*cking crazy :)

[kisscuritibabrasil]

I rather when James made that demon backvoice &_&

[Hazeon23]

Great performance. Glad to see the band still has metal balls. I bet Hammet's lawyers told him throwing things at the audience is a no-no.

[TheFelipega]

Jason could never get out of Metallica...

[alraiss]

this song runs in the blood !! searching for someone/something you cant have anymore...and you are running out of time....time was never on my side

[MrSFblack]

this song is pretty good,honestly its one of the only songs to come outta the load/reload era that i found interesting.but i still feel it would sound better if jason hadn't left.

[Magnumbean]

HIT ME!

Sorry to say this but this song is best with Jason. Sad but true.

[gpac200]

@Magnumbean no fuckin argument there

[albyuke]

@Magnumbean true but still amazing

[kaynewarrior]

@Magnumbean You are so right  :' (

[CanadaIncorporated]

@Magnumbean There's nothing sad about this song being one of Metallica's best. It's even on the Official List of Metallica Epics. What is the Official List of Metallica Epics, you ask? It's an incredibly truthful list that defines which songs are most epic. It has strict guidelines. It's a very elite group of songs. Our board thought long and hard about this one. The S&M performance of this was the defining moment in Outlaw Torn's destiny to be immortalized as a true Metallica Epic!

[MsDeadCorpse]

@Magnumbean Rob is a pretty shit at backing vocals tbh.

i.e. YOU FLUSH IT OUT, YOU FLUSH IT OUT

[blockedtube]

@MsDeadCorpse kirk usualy does that bit and he is not that much better



[MrJasonz28]

@Magnumbean yea but he left so fuck him rob is way better and cooler

[groovie621]

the thing he used to play for the solo keeps spinning on the floor for ages :D 6:17

[PaladinHero]

@ 6:15 Hammet, you greedy little piggy faggot, throw that slide into the crowd!

[Rraayyttee]

@PaladinHero That could really hurt someone if they didn't see it coming and he can't like stop in the middle of the solo to throw it in the crowd xD. Would be awesome to catch it tho! =D

[PaladinHero]

@Rraayyttee With all the moshing and the general vibe of a metal show (plus the lights on Hammett and considering how shiny it is), I can't see anyone getting upset over a tossed slide. Plus, if he had time to hurl it at his feet then he had time to lob it into the crowd.

But I was kinda being tongue-in-cheek as Metallica is my favorite band and Outlaw Torn is among my favorite songs. I only wish I could've seen them when Newsted was on bass.

[blacksaintos]

I miss Jason and his vocal, especially in this song, who agrees, thumbs up

[ivanfavero]

@blacksaintos I agree, this new bass man is very bad if compare whit Jason

[VivaLaSer21]

"DO TAKE-SMASH THE CLOCK IN FEAR!"

Hahaha. It's okay, James. You haven't played it live in a while :)

[otpenagos]

Both solos are epic!

[otpenagos]

Maybe Lars could do the background voice....epic!

[metalliclark]

@otpenagos What?

[earthmover1984]

Load is absoluttely my Favorite Metallica album, and it has this hidden masterpeice of a song at the very end! The rest of load is so good, that you might miss this one, hell it took me 10 years of owning the album just to find it! Great work keep it up!!!!

[jlabraf]

Since Jason left they really need to work out on their backgrounds vocals, but with Robert on the bass they sound really awesom!!!! 

[okierifleman]

Robert is a monster bass player, but Jason WAS the background vocals. Its like trying to have Van Halen with no Michael Anthony, it just doenst work!

[beccab514]

Hell Yeah!!!!!! Dying to see this song live.

[CyaSpaceCowboy]

Epic ending

[joni7fi]

i love this song its the best kirk RULES!!!!!! \,,/

[imaninga1]

@logalog4236 thanks dude i play guitar but never herd of it

[imaninga1]

what did kirk drop 6:13

[logalog4236]

@imaninga1 his guitar slide, you know, for sliding solos! =D

[SteelDragon920]

Great performance....back up singing was terrible! I miss Newstead!

[Thevipaka]

i wish metallica would mess around with delay more!!!!!!!!!! :) i love this song!!!

[lynchhammett]

I would wait my whole lifetime to see them once again.. because without their music there would be no life!

[WALTHDICKINSON]

Cool song

[corvette19]

This song is a true masterpiece.

My favorite Metallica song.

[Gotskillz490]

If they play outlaw torn at the concert in sydney later on this year my life is made...

[mrhockeyluke]

Wow...wish I could see this song live

[Zoso77777]

Rob or Kirk gotta take a few singing lessons, i think with a few lessons they could be "acceptable" back up singers :P it kinda messes up the song a little, still Awesome performance, and James AMAZING voice

[sweet76655]

fucking awesome song from the greatest band ever ! makes me glad they evolved from who they were in 1982/83 till now so fucking ready to see them LIVE again !

[dodgeneondorinmovanu]

they played The Shortest Straw and No Leaf Clover when i saw Magnetic tour, definately 2 very good rare ones. but i'd prolly CRY if i'd hear this one lol

[Blacky2000x]

epic win :kirks slide-throw-away at 6:16

[tute1512]

just FUCKING AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE

[beatlecrema]

Esta canción es buenísima. Es la primera vez que la tocan en vivo? Espectacular, sólo METALLICA puede superar a METALLIVA, yeah!!!

[KyleJPie10]

This crowd sucks left nut

[KyleJPie10]

11000 views... not 1 single dislike! WOOT

[sharleena86]

Fuckin MetalliClass Song!! Woaaaaoww!!

Love this one!!

Never heard it live since S&M, Smoothy and raping song!!

Yeah Tallica yeah!!

[gearsdegera90]

rob is kool and all but im not diggin his vocals

[LightningStickmanBob]

Yep. Other than the fail at backing vocals, this is epic.

[Scarecrow545]

@LightningStickmanBob

Yeah haha

[Fedeleven]

I cant believe he can hit those notes at 46 and while being on tour. His voice must be so tired. Sometimes this guy really makes me think HOW?!

[branless]

James' guitar sounds perfect !!!!!

[beatlecrema]

Espectacular, sólo METALLICA puede superar a METALLICA!!!

[VivaLaSer21]

Rob vocal fail.

Every other part of the song though, now that's some seriously epic stuff.

[TheCCMorgan]

This song is amazing...

[ruhappynow]

the backup singing kinda made me cring on this song, but james more than made up for it

[frantic3110]

This song is a MASTERPIECE!!!

Great performance!

[Wrathofkala]

I love this song!
