Metallica - The God That Failed (Live Donington 1995)

[UserOfADown]

enter sandman is easy, and you say that i wont get a girlfriend just because i dont love cliff as you? who is the kid now?

man grow up please, cliff is dead, it's like michael jackson, just because he died, everybody loves him.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@UserOfADown Fuck you, much as I love Jason, Cliff was better... In all fucking serious, Jason doesn't have half the skill, or the attitude Cliff did...

[UserOfADown]

@DeathMetalorgetjized man, you say that you are 28, and cliff died 25 years ago, so you were 3 when he died, so you dont know anything about him, just what you see on the internet. i guess that you arent 28, just another kid that love cliff because of his dead. AND YES CLIFF WAS A WAY BETTER THAN JASON, and people just say this, they dont talk about jason's tone, stage presence, BACKING VOCALS, just that he plays with a pick. ¬¬

cliff is like michael jackson or amy winehouse. go suck cliffs cock

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@UserOfADown You just admitted he was better, and I'm not 28? I put that as my Youtube age because you don't need to know it. But, seeming you say so, do YOU know Cliff and Jason personaly? Hmm? If not, shut up, and listen to some shitty SOAD already.

[UserOfADown]

@DeathMetalorgetjized SOAD is good, i like it, and no, I dont know cliff or jasopn personally, just like you

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@UserOfADown Tbh, I hate SOAD, but if you like it, who am I to speak? (this is my attempt at not getting in a giant flame war and ruining the comment page rofl)

[UserOfADown]

@DeathMetalorgetjized if you dont like soad, all i have to do is repect.

[nick9647]

@userofadown lol, are you fucking kidding with me?! you really think orion is easy?! are you a fucking retard? Okay, what about Pulling Teeth? if you think jason could play that song, then I feel really bad for you....

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 do you play a instrument to say this? i play bass and i can play orion, it is easy as hell.

anesthesia is so boring i never heard it .

for me, jason is more badass than cliff, cliff just had speed and inteligence to write songs. i prefer jason in metallica because of the backing vocals and his amazing solos. his solos are beatifull. what about the backing vocals, if you think that cliff can make that as good as jason, then i feel really bad for you

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown shut the fuck up! Cliff was one bad ass hairy banging motherfucker! And hes solos was twice as good and amazing compering to jasons boring shit! Hes solos was all the same! And if you think cliffs song are so easy, then upload Orion and Pulling Teeth! I'd like to see that!

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 jason make beatifull solos, have you ever listen to my friend of misery solo?

cliffs solo were terrible so fast and with that boring distortion. i wont upload anything i dont have to proof you nothing. and a said that i hate pulling teeth. try to play orion is easy on bass, play orion and shut up.

cliffs cock sucker

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown yes you have to prove me that orion is easy before saying a fucking shit about it. and no, cliffs solo did not suck at all, what he could play could neither you or jason play in like a 100 year of practice! so shut the fuck up you fucking pussy, and maybe you should think of maybe stop being such a dick beind the screen... just saying... thats one fucking mighty tip!

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 orion is easy, anesthesia is boring, cliffs solos are boring, jason fit metallica's shoes better than cliff and he has an amazing voice, metallica's better era was with him (black album) you love cliff so much that you can't say that jason is better in metallica. i like jason but i can see that cliff is so much better at bass than him, but he done an amazing job in metallica 10x better than cliff.

i have my opinion and you have yours.

and i am a man every place. fuck you

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown you are such a pussy saing that orion is easy when you cannot even play it! and cliffs voice was good, maybe not as good as jsaons but it was good enough and how does jsaons voice make him a better bassist. everybody use that as a arrgument! i'm really starts to think you are a fucking kidding with me. you really think black album era is better than the 80's?! then i feel really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad for you.... fucking cocksucker....

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown you are such a pussy saing that orion is easy when you cannot even play it! and cliffs voice was good, maybe not as good as jsaons but it was good enough and how does jsaons voice make him a better bassist. everybody use that as a arrgument! i'm really starts to think you are a fucking kidding with me. you really think black album era is better than the 80's?! then i feel really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad for you.... fucking cocksucker....

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 i can play it, now i'm tired of arguing with a bitch like you.

sry, i preffer jason than cliff, it's my opinion, now please shut the fuck up.

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown i don't fucking belive that you can play a shit, I bet you even cannot play enter sandman... and if your so tired of arguing with me than stop acting like a fucking retard who's never going to get a girlfriend and i bet you live with your mother too...

[FuckFaceOblivion]

BEST HETFIELD MULLET EVER

[UserOfADown]

cliff is OVERRATED because of his dead ¬¬

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown Your mom is overrated!!!

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 why say this things about my mom? cliff is overrated as hell, for me, be faster at finger plucking don't show that you are the best bassist in the history.

before say shit about my mom, think that everyone is a man in between the chair and the computer.

motherfucker

[nick9647]

@UserOfADown snapp... you got me there... you know, there is a reason why they never ever played the full version of orion with jason....

[UserOfADown]

@nick9647 what is? orion is easy and jason play some songs that are harder than orion.

[Awayze]

NO ONE can play the intro of TGTF as good as Jason.

[equaleyez187]

isn't this like the only one time they played The God That Failed?

[Scarecrow545]

@equaleyez187

Nope.

[NASCAR90]

@equaleyez187 no 1994 was the first time they played it live

[TheRoadHammer1]

@Scary. I totally agree.

[avidmoviefan]

The "UltaMullet" as James called it

[burningkarma]

Cliff = great talent, Jason = great talent, Rob = great talent.....Nuff said.

[MAGNUM2F]

I WAS HERE! GREAT MEMORIES

[ExtremeApps]

the god that failed with james' haircut

[KrumpMasterX]

Love this riff

[TBoneMontana]

Best metallica gig ever seen. What a show this was.

[LuckilyHeDied]

Watching this video, right here, just now, at this very moment, has renewed my love for Metallica that I seem to have lost in the last few years. This song is so heavy it's ridiculous.

[lonnie333]

Hahahaa check out James' mullet hahahahah, awesome

[lonnie333]

Killer performance!!! 

[create42000]

lol @ lars' hat. getting old sucks. being a rockstar and losing your hair sucks even worse.

[TheRadar77]

I wish James stuck with his ESP Explorer. I hate that Les Paul copy he favors nowadays. I still respect them though. 

[EvenL33tland]

@TheRadar77 It's not a les paul copy, it's a '76 Les Paul Vintage, or is it '67? cant remember :P

Are you thinking of the ESP Eclipse? He does use that too sometimes, but not too often

[theblackendone]

lol the mid-life crisis of metallica

[Mutahnt]

extremely boring

[PANNOGROSSO]

everyone hates jason just because he came after cliff..I think he is great and anyway metallica was for more than 10 years with him..so shut the fuck up all you jason haters!!

[Arcturo767]

Metallica were so boring i fell asleep in the crowd

[tommyboi9]

@Arcturo767 obviously never seen em

[Arcturo767]

@tommyboi9 of course i saw em, i was there stood in the middle of the crowd bored shitless watching their music by numbers going thru the motions performance...skid row should have headlined they were the best band on the bill and i was never a fan of theirs.

[tommyboi9]

@Arcturo767 aha alright mate then why watch the video........fucking retard

[Arcturo767]

@tommyboi9 fuck u skaterboi chump, i was watching it to remind myself of how shit they were that night,it seems you got swallowed up in the Metallihype just as they did, they are one fuckin major overrated band...this shit riff is cringeworthy, like something a schoolboy band would come out with.

[fridogg]

good era for Hetfield. Drunk and the ulta mullet

[jarkool]

THE MULLET THAT FAILED

[1989metfan]

lars and jason look homeless in this video lol. Metallica ftw!

[electricguitarXYZ]

Jason looks like Sylvester Stallone

[DrVegasIII]

@electricguitarXYZ Yeah and James looks like Billy Ray Cyrus with that mullet!!! LOL  Had know idea he rocked that at that time!!

[electricguitarXYZ]

@DrVegasIII i stopped watching at jason so i'll check out james......... haha james looking like billy ray cyrus. FUNNY!

[JPhinfan86]

Horrendous or so metal it just blew your fucking mind?!

[NASCAR90]

Why do people pick on Jason he made Metallica after Cliff died don't get me wrong I love Jason more then robert

[electricguitarXYZ]

@NASCAR90 i'm a little iffy on that but i could say i agree. but i like cliff cuz he wrote for whom the bell tolls.

[thrashattack312]

the METALLIMULLET

[1989metfan]

@thrashattack312 the metallimullet?? that made my fuckin day haha

[Metallideth100]

MULLETALLICA!

[MeatFeastLive]

Holy shit James has a horrendous mullet... XD

[JPhinfan86]

@MeatFeastLive

Horrendous or so metal it just blew your fucking mind?!

[metalfool4295]

only james could rock a mullet

[edpartar]

what a mullet!! haahhahaha hetfield rocks!!

[sulo15002900]

Hetfield is a fuckin' Live Beast... !! \m/

[584megadeth]

true dude but cliff is a legend of bass and jason couldnt play exactly like him

[CHEVINATOR1]

james look badass with a mullet

[heartline12]

@kongu46 dude if you listen to every metallica song then you realize that entersandman is probibly their worst song

[mbd303030]

im a die hard fan...i agree with what your saying but even though i like all the other shit on the first 4 albums and most songs on black album more than i like sandman, it is still a good song and most certainly not their worst..however as you can tell i hate fucking fanboys who listen to that and nothing else matters only and consider themselves fans...they can fuck off

[JohnnyDevaney]

heavy classic shit and an unbelievable song....especially the last 30 secs....its about his mums reliance on god to overcome cancer and how futile this was!!!...

[PochoProfeta145]

fuck... they change his motherfuckin' tuning. They're in Eb all the concert... that sucks!

[DrZen007]

@PochoProfeta145

They always play Eb in concerts

The song is in Eb on the album too

but there's a youtube vid of it in E Tuning somewhere

if you're wanting to play it

[loreadvance]

They started playing in Eb since 1994

Since black album they played in E

[italianyakuza]

....EPIC....

[jonahbooc]

fukken heavy!

[Kevinx192]

not at all

[litlekarim33]

Its not heavy at all!! Its rock ! And soft!! Hear real metal!

[JohnnyDevaney]

@litlekarim33 fuk off....ur a loser

[tayhunter113]

in each live video for this song James says "fuck" or any other variation of "fuck" like 10 times

[chelzeaify]

this cd was torn by the critics for not equaling "...And Justice For All' i agree with that. but this group of songs from Black are very good songs. this one being my fave from the cd..

[jfkdjfd]

out of the big four of thrash, Metallic playd Donnington Monster Of Rock in '85 or '86, but they played before any other of the big four

[megaderek]

it was 85' just read about that in my book haha

[Ltndoom]

omfg jason has a fro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish they played this when i saw them instead of through the never but they would both have been great either way.

[zacDAguitarist]

see, james was raised in christain science, meaning he was raised around "God handles everything". including sicknesses. at 16, james mother died of cancer, and on of the reasons being because she refused to see a doctor because it went against her belief. this is were the roots of this song is located.

[OliWghmaStER]

CLIFF IS THE MAN

[Awayze]

Jason is Metallica's most memorable bassist though!!!

[badboybob1074]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!? Honestly Metallica would not be where they are now if it weren't for Cliff!!!! Damn man are you serious?!!?

[michaelfeldman91]

i ahte all these cliff dick riders. jason was with the band the longest and though he may have not have had more talent than cliff, he still brought a great stage presence to metallica.

[aivasilas]

@michaelfeldman91

ONLY A STAGE PRESENCE THOUGH....

[elementality4me]

@aivasilas without jason we wouldnt hav my friend of misery, and a bunch of other songs. he helped in his own ways

[JohnnyDevaney]

@elementality4me exactly....made the best music ul hear in your life

[adam3486]

@michaelfeldman91 And your a jason Dick rider .

[adam3486]

@michaelfeldman91 I was about to call you a Jason dick rider but i didn't but you are right Cliff has more talent then Jason.

[JohnnyDevaney]

@michaelfeldman91 absoloutely fukin ryt

[azdenmagro]

@michaelfeldman91 anyway cliff was good, jason was better

[wwejheaton]

@azdenmagro i disagree cliff was and still is the best

[Scary2Stroke]

@michaelfeldman91 i agree forreal. cliff was GOD there no doubt about that. he was with metallica in their speed metal days. but jason made metallica heavy as shit and provided GODLY backup vocals

[ghostwhiskey]

@michaelfeldman91 agreed,he was a big part of the band

[erock7207]

god dont exist///not with that fuckin mullet//hhaahhaaa

[TBoneMontana]

Metallica aren't the same without Jason

[badboybob1074]

They aren't the same without Jason, agreed. THEY'RE 1,000,000 TIMES BETTER WITHOUT HIM. Shut the fuck up and quit hating on Mr. Trujillo (if that is what you're doing).

[TBoneMontana]

I think what ever the fuck I want. And yeah I hate Trujillo because he fuckin' sucks.

[INGRox]

Amen, brother...Jason Newstead can play circles around Trujillo!!

[Praw48]

Are you retarded? Have you seen Trujilo's fingerwork? Please learn how a base works before you give your oppinions.

[sdgiglia]

Will you please learn how to spell BASS...you retarded redneck.

[sdgiglia]

..and TrujiLLO....and OPINION....you are a moron.

[mbd303030]

what's the advantage of saying something negative like that? it's just gonna start a fight and make other people angry...I agree, you should think whatever you want, but i'm just saying maybe think if there is any point of posting it before you actually do...

[86collind]

metallica makes me want to march around like a psycho like no one can stop me and just go insane maybe walk through a brick wall i don't know but they get me hype

[jnadeau28]

they should play this more often

[6999999METAL6666669]

james is religious now

[MasterAtheist]

i wouldnt say religious, he just believes in a higher power.

[6999999METAL6666669]

"death is not the end" is a completely religious song, shows what he believes in now

[williamtrevormcneil]

i would say its about Metallica

and how they (the band) practically died (split up) during the making of St. Anger, but they found new life beyond that and are still making music, shows that even after the wrost has happened (death being used in the song as the worst thing) you can still pick up the peices and keep going so to speak

but meanings of songs are completely up to the listener, you could feel it meant something an i can say its something completely different, but we're both right

[njdevils16]

the songs about james' mom cuz they were christian scientists so they didnt beleive doctors an that god would help his mom get rid of her cancer.. its on this dvd i own he says it

[williamtrevormcneil]

i know... your comment would make sense if we were both talking about the same song. your talking about The God That Failed, im talking about Death Is Not The End.

i know exactly what interview your talking about in The God That Failed, i own that exact same DVD too,

its also to your right in the Related Videos section of this video, called "James Hetfield - God That Failed Interview"

i won the DVD your talking about, Classic Albums: Metallica, right?

[njdevils16]

yeh haha oh my bad i thought you were talking about this shit my bad

[williamtrevormcneil]

lol sorry, my fault for not making that clear i guess

[williamtrevormcneil]

own*

[vincentmack37]

how can this song that was recorded and written in 1991 be about something that happened 13 years later? or am i missing something

[williamtrevormcneil]

your missing something...

scroll down farther, and youll see i was replying to someone talking about what they think "Death Is Not The End" is about

i know exactly what The God That Failed is about

people.... please, read the comments below that comment BEFORE you reply cuz it gets annoying hearing the same reply over and over and then me having to explain it

[tinn711]

The Bass!!!

great sound in the intro

[666MetaIHead]

MetallicA r the gods that didn't fail!!

[MetallicaInMyHead]

@666MetaIHead and will never fail

[varoujanx666]

god doesnt exist

[vicgarcia30]

if there Satan theirs god and am guessing by ur name u relive in Satan

[varoujanx666]

no im atheist

[casias54]

mullet

[lennartje]

If I could play this and had a band, I'd sooo play this on my Christian school.

One of the best songs of Metallica IMO. Too bad they hardly play it live. Afraid to piss off some Christians perhaps?

[MetallicaBassist69]

That's a good idea, I'll do that in my band >:)

[GibsonUSA9514]

awesome fucking song. greatest band, greatest album

[thatguy106]

i gave you a thumbs up for that, but that album is tied with master of puppets

[gunsmerock]

that's right.....

[ashesnmisery]

he made this song because his mom died believing that god would heal her and save her

[karkedalza04]

ohhh realy..... thats why the song lyric is full of unbelve to god....

[GibsonUSA9514]

the song is what james thinks of his childhood and the fact that his mom died and god never healed her. in an interview he said that he is not bashing god its just his thoughts on his childhood.

[jumpyjedi]

his mom was in a twisted form of christianty....ur supposed to go to doctors...they had em back in bible days didnt they....

[SFisher4545]

Greatest fuckin band of our time!

[BlueLeppard]

to shootingyoudown

if you said that to jaymz's face he would beat the fuck outta you. wait, nevermind, you wouldnt have the damn testicular fortitude to say it to jaymz's face. kthxbye

[finzfan92]

The mullet that failed......

[metallifan83]

I should have your testicles removed and fed to my dog, you stupid fucker!!!

[iliassMeiSTeR]

I would fucking rip ur fucking head off u motherfucking piece of thrash.Shity bitch.Show respect

[johnkendall915]

[veronicanmike]

F*ck you you D*ick licking cock sucker I hope You Die You MotherF*cker

[ridethelightning1317]

why are you bleeping yourself out, lol. Your mom wont see what u type, i promise.

[Slipknotn33]

You are a piece of shit my friend..

[wastelandsentertainm]

Do you have God of thunder from this concert? I really wanna hear it!

[devonwalsh]

This song is written about James Hetfield's mother. She died of cancer. Because of her extreme religeous beliefs she refused any treatment and cited that God would save her. After her death Hetfield wrote this song from his mother's eyes about "The God That Failed."

[heavymetalfool]

Jason kinda remind me of Bam Margera in that haircut :p

great song btw 5/5*

[lustfordeath]

This is terrible. I love old Metallica but this just sucks. Sweet mullet James.

[shawncan42]

greasy.. lol excellent solo

[pistolwhipper]

i shit you not, it may come off as lame to some but i think james rocked the dog shit out of that fucking mullet!! FUCK YEA

[M4x6]

Holy shit look at James shredding 1:03 - 1:08

[NacheMan]

that is the greatest fucking mullet ever!! next to rigs

[nEishhh]

wow everyone but kirk look like fucking rednecks especially lars and james

[SDJH2982]

what on earth did james do with his hair?? lol

sick song, though

[cabreranthe]

wow, great voice

[fishfinch]

great song!!:(

[Amrit024]

hey creepingdeath1990, i think it had something to do with alcoholism,im not sure though...

awesome video man,,yeah keep em' coming

haha

[creepingdeath1990]

does anyone know what happened to James' voice during Saint Anger because considering when this was recorded he had already blown his voice and he sounds pretty good....

[KtuluHuman]

Keep these vids coming, dude!
