This song is so much better like this with the beat picked up a bit. It sounds like a march. The way the play now with pauses, and that slow groove feel just kills the song.
Wonder what happened to the other video footage of Metallicas day on the green,because there has to be more than this,thier were also other bands on the bill.Ratt,Ted Nugent and Yngwie Malmsteen.
true, and that was REALLY early on, but i think by this time kirk was endorsed by ESP, which was making higher-end, custom copies of popular american axes.
james plays custom ESP explorers now and has a signature ESP les paul clone, but it looks like the explorer in this clip is a gibson. kirk also has had signature ESPs since 1989. see ESP's website.
I was there to see this show!!!! I was 12!!! First Metallica show!!! GOD I LOVE this show!!! I remember seeing CLIFF and thinking damn that guy is awesome!!!!! RIP Cliff!!!
One of the four horsemen with no remorse to seek and destroy, he was part of the Metal Militia and always got whiplash. He rode the fucking lightning he faded to black, his bells always tolls, and he was the Fucking Master of Puppets.
cliff buton was the best bassit ever he was god kicking monster ass and somewhere in heaven hes kickin it with other guys like kurt kobaine and bon scot and others, so lets all just give cliff burton a HELL YA and bang our heads
HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. CLIFF BURTON A LIFE TAKEN WITHOUT NOTICE AND A GOD AMONG MORTALS
this is taken from CLIFF 'EM ALL....but if you think on the rest of this show (day on the green), i think the whole show was never released.................but i'm not sure
Those empty seats was a section they were not letting people sit in.I was at this show and we walked right by the 3 cars that were on fire in the parking lot.
I remember watching this on Cliff 'em All and being blown away. This footage is a glimpse of a band that was on its way to becoming legendary. Maybe it's the fact that Cliff's in it but this is probably my favourite live performance of this song.
hi cliff how ya doin
