Metallica's Secret Weapon: The Meyer Sound TM Array™ (HD)

[Theshemproductions]

Basically a heat sucktion.

[Theshemproductions]

Yup! When under,it would push a lot of space.Hence it would warp back.

[mwells219]

didn't big mick hughes write comics in the 1980s?

[asstuto]

The lion king?

[TheLuis1283]

RESPECT!!!... This guy makes sound Metallica how it sounds live.

lml

[Sphereal]

Epic beard is Epic

[kbeam418]

I clicked on this because of big mick

[TankDriverOriginal]

Be quiet, kids behind me, or You won't get any presents next year!

[thevisi0naryy]

i clicked the link because it had the word "metallica"

[Skyzboob]

Gandalf

[antonio610]

Metallica would indeed need the best live engineers in the world, clipping live music must be damn near impossible.

[briandrum1]

When I hear the name "Meyer Sound", the first thing comes to mind, the Grateful Dead.

[Sorgutentarer]

Gimli is so cute :) his accent "very very very" !!

[kohunter9192]

its ironic that it looks like a swastika and the first place they used it was berlin. lol i still love their sound i just thought that was funny

[richardsim7]

I heard this system at the O2 and it really was fantastic!

[SoreEyeMusic]

Accent... fucking awesome!!

[Xaederaz]

That beard is just... It's more amazing than the actual array. 

[96lolstar]

Do they use all these line arrays?

[mrgoodbyecity]

i kinda clicked cuz the beard

[jackofkiwiland]

fuck me! look at all those lord of the rings jokes!!! jesus ive never seen anything like it!!! oh and that dudes got a massive beard.

[konjunktion26]

OMG its gandalf from lord of the rings!!! ;o)

[ThomasRobinson96]

Hagrid?



[BLAFPro]

On the thumbnail he looked like Chewbakka.

No offence, I really like this guy!

[FDiNobile]

Would have been a good show to do 'A day in the life of a rigger'. I have set shows like this on the ground,I couldn't imagine going in the air with it. They aere some massive looking sub stacks also. Curious if they had them built to be lighter for a set like this ???

[joanadarker]

Britsh always do it better then Americans

[looosh]

I could have thought that you needed a wizard like Gandalf to manage Metallica's sound, but I'd never tought that God himself, Eric Clapton was part of the deal too !!

[stevierayBlz]

I clicked this video cause I thought that epic bearded dude was "The Meyer".

[joeyxl3456]

that beard got one good combing that morning

[Sidder23]

Say hi to Eric Clapton.

[andriuxa1234]

hey santa!

[TrollingYourButt]

I have no clue what he's talking about, but at least I finally got to see the face of Cousin It

[ZamCronos]

Metallica seem to surround themselves with pepole with impressive beards. They have Big Mick Hughes and Cliff Burnstein. Lars's dad Torben Ulrich has a very long beard, and Rick Rubin produced Death Magnetic... interesting

[28power68]

That beard has it's own soul

[Megathrax84]

this was interesting

[ThatBigMetalhead]

i wish MY beard was that epic....

[SomeYoungGuy1993]

I was at that show!! Hope they come around this year!

[Lik3mUZiK88]

the best sound (meyer)

[comeonewtf]

Holy shit so the speakers are in the air above the stage.

[vigilantesTV]

This is the dude from Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter or Are You Afraid of the Dark.

[RapingZombies]

who clicked the link just because of the guys beard?

[frequencies2001]

Me...

[pinholedstars]

@RapingZombies it's like his hair is migrating from on top of his crown to his chin...

[PauloRosseto1]

@RapingZombies Where is the beard and the Hair?

[DougCitrus]

goddamn, thats a fucking nice beard

[Muziekschuur01]

Why no BAGEND subs?

[Bunnytoes666]

Wow - I always wondered how those came to be - and because of it I have no problem paying good bucks for tickets ;)

[Vlodimer]

that looks... a bit like swastika

[funkidelicFrank]

I wonder how they phase align that puppy.

[bushabloke]

Behind every great Rock Band there are always "great" British crew

[LiamMailman941]

I kid you not, the thumbnail looked like chewbacca...

[MrNcotton]

he reminds me of the old guy from lord of the rings... holy shit.

[MsMetallicaFan1996]

Did he just tell metallica to "shut, up" !?!!! O.O

[snapascrew]

SHUT UP! heavy metal.

[Jedinerf]

Is that the God of Metal?

[QF210]

U2's set is a massive step up from Metallica's little setup they call a concert.

[dusted04]

@QF210 u2 blows goats, unfortunetly i had to go to there concert i made a deal with my girlfriend

i would go to u2 if she comes to metallica

and let me tell u2's sound system has nothing on metallicas volume wise.

there rig may be bigger but metallica's is 10 times more powerfull and louder

my tshirt and pants werent vibrating at u2

[boblovesBTBAM]

I was waiting for him to say "YOU, SHALL NOT PASS".

[Biiaattcchh100]

@boblovesBTBAM hahahahhahaaa shit.. finally a good comment after a while

[boblovesBTBAM]

@Biiaattcchh100 hahah you are more than welcome! and hey, check out my channel if you want some sick guitar playing too! haha no intention to spam either!

[jhop5150]

"evvy meh-ool"

[NightmareSteve]

I just watched this video because of the beard in the preview picture.

[blackmustang728]

he looks like a wizard i swear

[RuBeNtrademarK]

I didn't know what he was saying. I just looked all vid long at his awesome beard :D

[samtron971]

How many kids did he have in his beard?

[wynhons]

Heavy metal version of Dumbledore!

[Lili0000007]

Meyer is everywhere!!!!!!!!!

[SixStringChannel]

Hahahah HAGRID

[Riptorn01]

I LOVE the way he says heavy metal!!!

[readerwriter]

Hagreg

[ryancangri]

Freaking awesome, wow.

[EldubeG25]

There are no Stanley Cup banners in Pheonix, there were no banners at all in fact. Now there's a banner sayin "Metallica was here" ;p

[LeMasterDisaster]

beard of wisdom

[LordSilmiINC]

dwarf?

[Doomzdayxx]

Holy fucking beard!



[nitrotoyota]

that beard is EXTREMELY awesome !

[Proaudiostore]

I love meyer but you should listening to martin-audio MLA.its best

[rasetsuyagami]

wonderful piece of audio tech! i believe that costs a fortune!

[palaozs]

I didnt know Hagrid worked for Metallica!

[Gtrplyr1]

So i take it this is how Gandolf keeps busy after every defeat of Sauron?

[tetrisskinny]

his beard could give ZZ top a run for their money...

[maganashi]

Hahaha "'eavy Metol." Fuckin' win.

[13willis69]

that's not a beard. it's a lifestyle.

[danophile07]

@13willis69 or a mask to hide his acne

[KodiakAlpha]

I have to admit the last time I saw Metallica in Southern California the mix sounded like shit. Sounded like the mix was out of control so it was just pumped up louder and louder. Big Macks ears got to be shit by now.

[NoUsernameAssinged]

Did anyone else not pay attention to anything he was saying because of his beard?

[XBlashyrkhX]

I also like Midas but I would prefer XL4 guess better sound quality :)

now I use Digico SD8 and completely satisfied.... Meyer sound is great also but nowdays there are systems which sound better and clearer. like KS audio, Coda or L'acoustics Vdosc. anyway its good system. cheers. 

[manueduard92]

hey...how many watts?...what is the power of a system like this'/??..

[ladjkaoz]

when was this vid..

I had that idea long time ago since the fisrt time I saw those long colums of flown speakers.... lol

[iscareuiknowit]

Its Hagrid!

[CarimboHanky]

if you have to opportunity of seen and feeling this beasty TM array live, do it, you wont be dissapointed... i saw metallica live back in march in puerto rico and uufff, the walls of amps hanging from the ceiling look intimidating hahaha the decibels were so high that i ended up with a pretty distorted recording of the gig. the volume was high enough to distort recordings, high enough to please my metal hears haha got to love metallica and their screw!!!

[snakerman2612]

i saw them in portugal this summer and the system was exactly the same. epic gig as always

[Tominnho9]

I want to hear that...

[KameleonOfficialTv]

SANTA CLAUS!!!!

[MASTERofPENGUINZ]

i gave a thumbs up for that guys awesome beard

[klenerwolf]

the base drumm sound on nimes is awsome

[GuitarsBlood]

[slaytalix]

midas xl 8 ist great. john meyer looks like big mick with the beard :)

[mashnek]

with all do respect

[thebogeymaniscoming]

@mashnek

Out of roughly 200 shows that have gone on since the beginning of the World Magnetic tour, the ONLY show with sound problems was Israel... That should tell you something.

[ljmike1204]

well dont hang them in youre trus or against it it wil ratle every thing

[Sabrehockeylw29]

isnt that Hagrid?

[eduardogorga]

The gentleman on the right is Mr. Paul Owens - Metallica's Monitor engineer and VP and Co-owner of Thunder Audio.

[CarimboHanky]

Paul Owen was Metallica's Monitor engineer... he retired on January 13 2009 @ Joe Louis Arena in Detroit

[darkjem666]

looks like sasquatch

[deelayyed]

i like that midas in the backround :)

[hitgong]

Who's the gentleman on the Right?

[brianwesley28]

[MetVids]
