Metallica w/ John Bush - The Four Horsemen (Live in San Francisco, December 7th, 2011)

[Harrysound]

John Bush has always been awesome.

Anthrax are nothing without him.

I hate bellenddonna

[JamesTylerHope]

Damn, John sounds amazing. Got to see him w/ Anthrax back in '94. KILLER show.

[AbstractMan23]

john bush - amazing singer!!

[RafaSobis]

John kicked ass man, that was awesome

[kajthrashman]

i think they should have had dave mustaine on this one.

[alz1997]

3:33 gets me every time

[CommissarXIV]

John sounds so much better than james now. It reminds me of the kill em all!

[Juan49201]

Esta version me encanta ya que si incluye los 2 solos y es la version completa ;D en otros shows en vivo acortan la cancion.

[YoLpIsBest]

I have always wondered if John would've actually joined to Metallica back in the 80's. I think he would've fit very well.

[mortuous86]

The Mechanix!!

[T0rnadoOfS0ulz]

Lars always has the troll face when someone walks by him while he is playing live lol

[Pearlman100]

John is badass!

[smarttvapps]

John's good here.

[Corummo]

John Bush is not just a metal singer. He's MADE of pure metal! :-)

Great performance. I loved it!

[MrLAngelos]

@Corummo John Bush is the Chuck Norris of heavy metal! \m/

[samhain1967]

John's voice is so much more powerful than James' and he's a lot better singer as well but he doesn't have the same stage presence as James and I think that would have hurt Metallica in the end... but just listen to how good John sounds here... it would be something to hear a Metallica record with him singing that's for sure.

[WoznicaZnaczyEdon]

WHERE`S CLIFF!!!

[NYR21135]

To think Metallica wanted to hire him to sing after Kill Em All so James could stick to guitar. I guess this is a preview of how they would've sounded with John.

[richardmoores]

Metallica wouldn't be the same with a singer

[SumBG]

John Bush fits Horsemen very well

[rapisforretards]

I still love 'em.

[Mohawkdudethrasher]

why didnt they play this song with dave?

[dgbussells]

@Mohawkdudethrasher cause dave didnt play it this way, it wasnt "the four horsemen" until after Dave. He wrote it as "the mechanix"

[SeGaSaTuRn1994]

that guy at 6:03 looks a right dick

[TheLeperMessiah93]

Althougt we dont want to, we have to admit they are getting old........Still great thought, not so much of energy but still great.Cant wait till next album!

[ved76]

Great performance from Bush...awesome voice too.

[nwobhm38]

wow, this is the first time I see them playing the slow part of this song....nice..

[horror4ever1997]

@nwobhm38 They played the full version of this song back in 1984 with Cliff. 1984/11/22 Toulouse, France

[JamesTylerHope]

Saw John Bush with Anthrax in the Philly Spectrum back in the early 90's. F'ing killer show! The opening act was White Zombie too.

[joconnorwi]

Armoured Saint!!

[mcschp]

why does he have to move like a hip hop fan...this is METAL for fucks sake!

[Peterplayingguitar]

fuckin red hot!

[mrbigsack]

They should have done mechanix with Dave.

[mcschp]

@mrbigsack: fuck yeah

[Mohawkdudethrasher]

@mrbigsack i typed the samething bro! coincidence?lol?

[gocsa]

It seems like Hetfield lost some weight. Which is a good thing.

[ebayisajoke]

who the hell is this guy? lol

[dynamitharry91]

@ebayisajoke Former songer for Anthrax

[SueNC367]

@ebayisajoke John Bush. He fronted a band called Armored Saint in the 80's, was courted by Metallica briefly, to take over vocals, but he chose not to. By the early 90's, Joey Belladonna was out of Anthrax and Bush took over as vocalist for them. When Anthrax decided to do a reunion tour with Belladonna a few years back, Bush decided not to wait on the sidelines and bailed.

[sdwhitt]

@ebayisajoke turn in you Metal card because you don't deserve it. Go back to listening to Switchfoot and Five Finger Death Punch. Oh, how about reading the description.

[TheXrobwx]

It's Maynard! J/K.

[96Manii]

3:34 - 4:14 kirk is a guitar god

[Tikku18]

Damn those camera's are annoying...

[djusha]

wow, the first solo played live!!! why they hadn't before?

[deathbox75]

Oh John, you're sorely missed in Anthrax...

[dcalde78]

@deathbox75 This is just my opinion but I think Bush was a horrendous singer for Anthrax, he didn't fit at all. Belladonna is the vocalist for Anthrax, he fits perfectly. Bush's other stuff was pretty good though.

[ReadyToPuke]

Kurt was in Exodus, Bush was in Armored Saint and Anthrax, Trujillo was in Suicidal and Ozzy, and of course Hetfield is Metallica. But who is the suck-ass drummer? Is that Ricky Rocket from Poison?? Or is it one of the grungrock guys like the drummer from Hole?

[DonnieYen91]

@ReadyToPuke you mean kirk right ;]

[jocatt89]

Absolutely love this!!!John kicks major ASS!! & James is AWESOME!

[DeadlyVisionsx]

I bet Dave was in the back saying " Pfff you aint got shit on The Mechanix "

[149CreepingDeath08]

@DeadlyVisionsx This song is like 40x better

[mrcemetery]

They all look like they are very happy in this performance. Very cool to have fun playing a song they have played a million times...

[MrKmd1000]

holy crap dont think ive heard that song in about 20 years and i still know all the lyrics:)

[BinauralBrainwave]

bush should be metallica's vocalist

[TrollingYourButt]

@BinauralBrainwave James wanted him to be in the early days

[Ballarific38]

4:17

Old man headbanging

[gsoltis29]

John Bush IS metal....dude he just rocked this song out....totally understand why they asked him to sing back in the day.....

[sonicbluebolt]

Is it me? Or does John Bush look like Daughtry?

[dragonfistjedi]

I sill love John Bush in Anthrax. His voice is so unique sounding. Wish he would get back with them.

[CreepyPope]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­cccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkasld­kasldad

[antonio610]

Putting two bass drums in front of Lars is like some sort of visual gag.

[sonicbluebolt]

@antonio610 Lars hasn't a clue as to what to play live. He seems to be doing his own thing back there while the rest of the band is playing the song.

[MpchermidafilhoA]

@antonio610 Lars Ulrich: Using unecessary double bass on song that don't need double bass, and not doing double bass on songs that are made of double bass (Dyers Eve) since 2004.

[antonio610]

@MpchermidafilhoA The funniest thing is how retardedly loud his drums are, like he doesn't see anything wrong with his playing. I saw Slipknot opening for them and thought JJ's bass drums were really loud, but they didn't come close to Lars'.

[TheXrobwx]

@antonio610 Troll I know it's popular to hate on Lars but damn. Read a bit about them and oh yeah, this is their 30th Anniversary show. Bank it Lars! Bank it all the way!

[neverAcquiesce]

They played the bridge!

[SamTeFourreLol]

@neverAcquiesce That's insane, I didn't think they still knew about that part!

[DM25ful]

james is a beast...

[Jellysauce]

its good seeing metallica play the whole song for once.

[666gothmog666]

imagine metallica like this: hetfield, mustaine, bush, burton and a decent drummer of your choice....

[jevonhowle]

@666gothmog666 What is WRONG with you? You post on all the metallica vids abt this being wrong and that being wrong. STFU. Please? Do you even realize that they changed the basic dynamic of a metal band? When they decided that they didnt need a "frontman" and that the MUSIC would be the star of the show and not some premadonna posing for the crowd it changed the way rock music was made. And as for your "drummer of your choice"comment. get over yourself. That is very very very 2001 douche bag.

[galart11]

@666gothmog666 for me its better lombardo for drums, early 90' hetfield, burton and mustaine. sad but true

[sonicbluebolt]

@galart11 There's some videos on here w/ Lombardo filling in for Lars when Lars was sick. He played the songs better than Lars ever has or could!

[skwisgaar821]

does no one care that they played the whole thing live this time?with the middle part?

[ThomasLindberg]

John Looks like Bruce Willis and Joe Rogan had a kid lol

[epradas1]

man john sings it better than james... is a fact

[epradas1]

@epradas1 but it is true that james was more animal and savage with his style

[edgartadeo]

Todos saben ke en esta canción falto Mustaine, ke la compuso, pero ke Metallica le despojo,

[4142Wilb]

Who knew Bruce Willis had a set of pipes on him!!!

[Venkman007]

GOD, I miss John Bush!!

[Tailgunner667]

Bush sounds absolutely amazing!

[RockerJack97]

i quickly scanned over the title and i thought it said george bush..

[sejnitram]

That was KILLER!!

[bannedkapreese1]

Makes me wish Bush would have got the job as their vocalist.

[ROOKTABULA]

Pretty wild considering they tried to hire him away from Armored Saint after Kill 'Em All to take over vox from Jaymz

[Kanzihet]

Замечательное исполнение! Сколько лет они не играли среднюю часть и наконец-то!

[TaRVeR05]

@Kanzihet Согласен! Соло Кирка просто замечательное в этой песне.

[Juan49201]

@meduza430 Qué mamadas hablas pedazo de mierda a caso dijiste moda en el metal... anda escuchar a lady gaga marica.

[meduza430]

se escucha chingon pero que se calle hetfield, que piensa que le va a robar el trabajo o que, su voz ya paso de moda, puro ejey.

[BoBo4ka234]

Извиняюсь, я один не знаю кто такой Джон Буш?)

[TaRVeR05]

@BoBo4ka234 Джон Буш - вокалист, один из основателей группы Armored Saint. Загугли, если хочешь узнать поподробнее о нём или о группе.

[BoBo4ka234]

@TaRVeR05 А каким образом он к Металлике относится? Просто по знакомству?)

[JediaelJOk17]

kirk hammett

[128efrain]

@JediaelJOk17 kirk hammett

[maexj]

they should have played The Mechanix with Dave

[JeffWatersRules]

@maexj Agreed it's wierd that they didn't do this with Dave

[ozricness]

This version is the best ever live. Bush can handle the rough bits better than James. Certainly didn't expect this. These shows should come out on DVD.

[RapidCycling07]

John Bush looks like Dana White from the UFC here

[debgibsonfan]

Fuck yeah!!!

[AWGMJANS]

george's nephew?

[hatecopter]

I think it sounds more bad ass when they don't play the slow middle part

[MetStarBomber]

@hatecopter how this song can be more badass without the middle part when the WHOLE FUCKING SONG is SUPER FUCKIN BADASS!!!!!

[trencher7]

This is amazing. So interesting to see what might have been if Bush accepted the role as singer of Metallica. Truth is he has held his vocals together better than Dave and James, but I like them all.

[swordbutcher]

I miss the mighty Anselmo in that show

[WickedKnightAlbel]

If Only...

[metalpdx]

epic!! awesome!!....Impresionante....­completely.....completa!



[FBomb1981]

Does it get better than this? Not only John Bush, but the whole middle part that they NEVER play was included. FUCK YES.

[KJBPSkipper]

@FBomb1981 Agreed.

[UKYusei]

This was a great performance but nothing compares to when the played this in Seatle 89

[matt2eadgbe]

would have been cool if they played "The Mechanix" with dave.

[StringBuster420420]

@matt2eadgbe it would have been the right thing to do it his song.

[xAxFlyingxBookx]

@matt2eadgbe gotta leave somethings for the 40th Anniversary, like Escape. and The Mechanix with Dave, among other things. =P

[jw5y66]

@matt2eadgbe

That would be the ultimate sign of respect.

[TheMixedbreedChannel]

Yes !!!

[funnyman14691]

metallica with vin diesel and anthony hopkins

[jhudso214]

@funnyman14691 That's not Vin Diesel...That's Bruce Willis!!!...lol

[visduke]

If the spartans had this as their marching song we would, well...be spartans cause otherwise we would be fucked

[HailEurope]

Bush deserved to be in a better band than shit-era Anthrax

[HailEurope]

I'm on the the last hoooorse home

[wevertonkassio]

A chunk of the music metallica the four horsemen completely that these guys are fucking crazy right!

[hero7D]

bush sould have sang for metallica... would have been fucking epic withe kirk n cliff n lars

[jedsebastian]

i thought that was BRUCE WILLIS for a second.

[Coldacre]

JOHN BUSH - fucking legend!!!!! gold!! even James is loving it :D

[Fpunk1996]

jonh bush is a great singer

[SuperHitashi]

Oh my GHOST!!! awesome Kirk!!! :p

[KingWarriorMusic]

I think that this would be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better with hammett playing the middle solo and mustaine playing the outro solo :D

imo

[THANDKL]

Ti les twra! Arise the dead version! If only i could have been there. Waited too long...since'93.

Hey johniechains you got it wrong pal. It was Mustaine who took the riff

[marijansikic]

@THANDKL Dave made whole song and he played it with metallica live 

[tatzor]

metallica with anthony hopkins on drums!

[daveelfson07bass]

@tatzor do you still hear the lamb clarisse?? xD

[tatzor]

@daveelfson07bass i wish we could chat longer... but im having an old friend for dinner ;)

[dannyfrounz14]

@tatzor not funny man!!! ....its actually Christopher Walken!!

[PeosFalosPeos]

@tatzor true story ...

[salihadjic]

@tatzor

funny, at some point of his life he looked like Jack Nicholson. Now he looks like anthony hopkins, who is next?

[tatzor]

@salihadjic Hmmm, Gollum perhaps? ;)

[salihadjic]

@tatzor

LOL

[ANARKOTEROR]

@salihadjic Funny I always confuse them both...

[zootalk]

@tatzor Yes: Lars shouw let his hair grow once again.

[LukeLewisAnimation]

@tatzor Know I for one as a Welshman would love that :D

[judas7206]

KIRK IS THE BEST !!!

[judas7206]

shit this is cool...

[johnniechains]

This was Mustaine's riff. Hence: Mechanix.

[lupine73]

John Bush is awesome. I don't care who he's performing with.

[SmieshNorway]

Bush for president! oH wait...

[sinnnerfree6666]

James is jealous haha. Anthrax should have kept John, fuck Belladon'ta.

[markushor]

@sinnnerfree6666 Bush is the best

[vlmmosto]

@sinnnerfree6666 james is not jealous of bush,wtf are you talking

about,james is one of the greatest frontmen of all time and bush

is far from being one

[testadiquarzo1]

John Bush only his surname is a defect.

[SantomPh]

@testadiquarzo1 no relation to the two former presidents?

[arhainofulthuan]

I guess having Mustaine on this one was pushing it a little... ;)

[goldoleej]

John Bush : one of the best metal singer ever !!!

[jkjl234]

choosing hetfield to sing instead of Bush was one of the best decisions metallica ever made. no disrespect to bush, but hetfield obviously had the most bad ass metal voice in the 80s. especially for metallica's music

[dudiaz]

@jkjl234 Seattle '89... Moscow '91... Goooood times. Would give up all of my hair to have been at either one of them...

[jkjl234]

@dudiaz probably the greatest metal concerts ever recorded

[anascimento]

Man! Awesome version! John's voice is very strong and I think that is very good for Metallica.

[ayambumba]

Oh fuck, I think I have just jizzed in my pants.

[metallicafan97ariana]

haha he is cute XD

[zainnnzy]

Finally they do the melodic solo!

[haugen1977]

What's my plummer doing singing with 'tallicA? Damn good voice though!

[woodaki2]

John looks like he is really enjoying it!!!

[GGENYSS]

ANTHRAX forever

[Opethian777]

Killer performance all around,and John Bush is still Kicking ass!

[2shae1980]

Its so awesome when they both sing at the same time!!

[bassemannen8]

What if john still would have been the singer for Anthrax, in that case there would be 2 scott ians hah, Great performance as usual, METALLICA! \m/

[panchoinek]

59000 th watcher woop wooop!!

[rallyivan1234]

When Metallica released Kill 'em All John Bush was selected as a singer but he refused, it is no coincidence that the singing is.

[r0ck4h0l1cm3t4lh3ad]

i like how slayer is the only band that doesnt have people at this birthday :D megadeths mustaine anthraxs ex singer nd guitarist hahaha :D this song rules its my favorite from metallica nd this is a great performance! :) go JOHN BUSH :D

[grudgie99]

looks like bruce willis is singing!

[dudiaz]

Haha I love how he's dancing and headbanging throughout the song, what a performance!

[zonic26]

They never play the full version like this, this is even more awesome with John Bush live, I love the last Anthrax album We've Come For You All 8 years before Worship Music
