Metallica's Funny Moment and Battery in 1988.

[Docteur666]

God, Kirk rhythm ...

[scaulderz]

i misses it..... where was it?

[SpendingBulletZ]

@scaulderz i guess 1:42

[ChrisJ926]

@scaulderz  starts at 0:55 and ends at 1:00

[DonBaldy]

when metallica had hair and attitude

[spyros078]

@DonBaldy

in 1980s!!;p

[DonBaldy]

@spyros078 no they had it as well in the 90s, Early 90s

[DonBaldy]

@spyros078 1980s, when metal was at its best, today when metal is filled with a bunch of fags screaming beyond their little system. Dave Mustaine,and James Hetfield can actually sing and thats what people fail to realize when they listen to A7X and say that metallica is a drop... My say is fuck A7X... if you like them you are a complete fag

[rocafella142]

@DonBaldy lol and don't forget all the fuck ups, dead notes, and missing notes when they strum. but that's part of what made it badass.

[lagosetchegaray]

a glorious era!!!!!!!!!!!!



[TeamHeadsUp]

If i was james i woulda picked up the shirt and put it back on the headstock

[kh202lover]

@TeamHeadsUp I'm not near as kick ass as James, but when I play with my band people throw stuff, and I let it hang from the headstock. I've had shirts, bandanas, hats, pants, bras, panties, all kinds of stuff on my guitar from shows.

[xxxGreaseMonkeyxxx]

METALLICA ARGH!

[OfirVinik]

ROFLMAO! :X

[LarryBmx1]

it was mustaine

[WertzOne]

0:54

[yodog678]

Lars ACTUALLY nailed the double bass O.O

[KyleJPie10]

@yodog678 A lot of people think he can't anymore... but he can. I've heard it in recent concerts, it's just that the live recording equipment they use hardly picks up the bass at all. It's a shame.

[SandyPubesOfficial]

axl would have stopped the show.

[planetburn]

mustaine trying to ruin the show with t-shirts how much money did he spend on drugs

[SarabiaX]

@planetburn SHUt THE FUCK UP

[planetburn]

@SarabiaX

No thank you troll fuck head.

[empreme]

@planetburn omg LOLOL

[suicidesnowman14]

why would robert throw his t shirt

[nessmonsta]

the good old days when marshall made marshall them in usa and brittian.. not no more. i wish i was born in the 60's (to grow up to these guys and proper music) it fucking sucks for 16 17 year olds today all they seem to do is listen to lady gaga and mily cirus and play computer games, it blows that no one in this town plays an instruement, me and the band im in need a bassist, how HARD IS IT TO PLAY BASS FFS!!!! you get what im saying?

[Parag0n]

@nessmonsta Finding a Bass player is easy mate, just ask the first Black guy you see and he will be a natural, trust me.

[nessmonsta]

@Parag0n lolol, USA dark skinned persons or Australian dark skinned persons? (im niether btw) :P (but i am Aussie)

[Parag0n]

@nessmonsta lol I can play bass, where you at? I'm on Sunny Coast.

[nessmonsta]

@Parag0n so close yet so far away :P T'ville

[suicidesnowman14]

@Parag0n lol. there are WAY too many kids out there that want to be lead guitar that there arent enough bands! bassists are rare gems where i live

[suicidesnowman14]

LOL. i bet dave mustaine threw it

[Evin07]

Damn, 2 days before I was born....

[Parag0n]

Hey guys I heard Jason Newsted was in the band, can't seem to see him on this video though?

[ryansamaniac]

@Parag0n lawl



[ioana6500]

@Parag0n Cliff died in 86...there is 88...so its clearly Jason...

[Parag0n]

@ioana6500 no shit, I was being sarcastic since the guy who filmed this (using a calculator probably) never bothered to film Jason, you barely see him.

[ioana6500]

@Parag0n all right... but you can see Jason banging at 4:47

[ragnaroksama]

0:17 for a moment i thought it was that song "this calling" from all that remains

[wwejheaton]

if that was axl rose...GOODNIGHT BYE

[Parag0n]

@wwejheaton If it was Axl Rose he wouldn't even be on stage, you have to have a 3 hour wait to see Guns N Posers, Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed...who are the other chumps again?

Slash's book said that Metallica/GNR Tour in 92 made a shitload of money, but Axl squandered it on lavish backstage partys, every fucking night, his own private jet and helicopter.

Metallica made their own sandwiches and saved shitloads of money from the tour, that's work ethic for you, now look where Metallica is and GNR...

[wwejheaton]

@Parag0n i so agree man

[thezizaniostamatis]

@wwejheaton you mean....IM GOING HOME!

[wwejheaton]

@thezizaniostamatis yea that to lol

[DamageIncM]

You think he was really annoyed by that or just being funny?

Anyway, too bad MetallicA doesn't play like THIS anymore...

You can say they do as much as you want, but it's not the same atmosphere anymore...

As much as I WANT to enjoy newer recordings... doesn't do it for me...

Doesn't matter how non-professional a recording like this one is, I just instantly feel something that I don't with more recent recordings...

It's weird...

[MrTure96]

@DamageIncM Well think just a little would you make the same atmosphere when you are 20 and 40

[DamageIncM]

@MrTure96

I think it just depends how you approach it.

They took the wrong approach going back to music again if you ask me.

[dorszux6000]

0:55 ;P

[Angelontheloose81]

FINALLY get to see a little Cliff in it... I watched this because of the date.. He was a great friend!!! CV CA~!!! RIP Brother.. Always missing you xox

[literallarry2011]

@Angelontheloose81 Thats was Jason, Cliff died (1986).

[dunavidrava]

4:05 james reminds me of a guitarist from amon amarth

[rokvidfan]

lol, thankfully it didn't noticeably untune his guitar, and again, thankfully it didn't touch the first two strings, the power chords metallica plays for 6 minutes per song would've been fucked. no that's not a jab at metallica, just saying...it'd suck to stop and get that FUCKED up sound out of the song, although it'd take literally 3 seconds to fix stopping a show for some stupid reason like that'd piss me off

[modemuxx]

massive rape of E string

[Evaquiel]

That motherfucker on the drummer don't look like lars. But i know its him. So great.

[MrColonelKFC]

If that was Axel Rose that got a t-shirt thrown at him the guy would of been thrown out the show or Axel would of stopped the whole show. >.>

[linzemol]

@MrColonelKFC

The pussy

[spade827]

@MrColonelKFC Thta is so true!!

[DeamonRiders]

1988, 1989 best vocal time for James.

[ClockworkDuck]

3:08 James got the lyrics wrong :P 

[Tinafigureskating]

Where does it exactly show up the part of the T-Shirt?? =/

[joceyjoe]

@Tinafigureskating 54 seconds in

[Tinafigureskater]

@joceyjoe Oh, right! Thanks! =D LOL

[suicidesnowman14]

lol where the mosh pit

[123MetallicA1234]

back in the time were kirk could play solos...

[HunterOfDeamons]

His name was Dick actualy...

[irnmadn99]

THIS WAS WHEN METALLICA WAS METALLICA,THE 80'S,TODAY THEY ARE JUST KNOWN AS MEFUCKLLICA............

[Calltoopower]

@irnmadn99 You sir, are an illiterate idiot. :D

[ampflz0]

Did anybody else think that the first couple seconds of this was the opening of Purple Haze?

[tonik3030]

@ampflz0 I think it was Damage, Inc. by Tallica

[rikkeeked]

@ampflz0 just a little=)

[metroidblaster127]

"Thank you dick. Batterrryy."

[ultrabrutaltechnical]

lars's drums look mat black....that is the colour they should have been...they look great!!

[eetfuk96]

@ultrabrutaltechnical they're grey ;)

[pivotmaker102]

I LIKE IT WHEN THE SHIRT WENT N HIS GUITAHH

[mlidice]

@ben9107 I'm ot sure if I understand, by I agree with you xD

[w94509]

this is in oakland.

[fluff191]

SHIT they are on fire!!!! It never got better than this.

[jake548490]

james guitar sounds like a bag of shit aka - banjo

[beatles61]

I love the song, but the video sounds like shit, not the quality of the video, just the EQ on the drums, james' half ass singing, the distortion on the guitar is again eqed wrong for the song, and the whole thing sounds rushed, i know it cant sound like the album, but this is just pathetic

[lebensraummetal]

@beatles61 @beatles61 None of the old thrash bands sounded great live. they were all fucking hammered while they were playing, they sped songs up, played them sloppy, but with such incredible enthusiasm and energy it was amazing. Metallica isnt even one of my favorite thrash bands but seeing them in this video makes me like them again. Then i think about how fucking lazy and lethargic they are today and it's depressing.

[maulhoik]

This is the Monsters of Rock tour. I saw this in the Orange Bowl. The majority of my school went to see Dokken, and for the first time understood Metallica. Many hair metal fans were converted on the spot. THIS tour was maybe even more important than the Ozzy dates two years before. a few months later AJFA comes out and kills everything else.

[91guitarist]

"Thanks dick!"

[dogking708]

lol

[Siiderimies]

I dont like Hetfield's new way of singing long clean notes, like in this he sings "torn away" and now he sings "torn awaaaaaaaaayyyyyy". But nowdays his singing is much much much more better than Re-load to St. Anger

[maulhoik]

@Siiderimies I agree on all points. His voice is very strong these days, all things considered. But the whole "awaaaayyy" thing get's to me as well.

[suicidesnowman14]

@Siiderimies basically he ends every sentance with "aaawwwhhh". i heard the band was called "metallic" and then when james anounced the band, people heard metallicA. like a rasta guy said mashing with his accent and "moshing" came out lol

[Tinafigureskater]

@suicidesnowman14 Is that story real?? LOOOOOL

[suicidesnowman14]

@Tinafigureskater the "mashing"thing is. the metallic thing is kind of an inside joke but it could be true.

[LupoSempreFresco]

Hetfield also sings at his best!

[Rayanai]

James: Thanks Dick !

Dick: NO PROBLEM !!!

[BogdanP28]

Dave Mustaine throwed that shirt ....

[Schelp1994]

"Thanks dick"

hahahaha

[JerryFeng41]

this time period james' live voice is pretty much exactly like his studio voice in master of puppets album

[matmanv2]

a lot better than "that didn't feel good"

[mario1136]

Thanks dick lol

[BoBbAFeTt414]

]v[ E G A D E T ]-[ !!!!!! \m/(^_^)\m/

[YMasmola]

@BoBbAFeTt414 bored? go fap

[afrosepi]

@BoBbAFeTt414 Megadef ain't as good as Metallycah iz...

[jltl44]

afterwards hes like "thanks dick" hahaha

[DrummerSVK83]

1:00 - Thanks Dick. LOL

[LilBabyGirlie]

That was funny but this is totally Badassery

[Psychicqueen]

Darn it!!! I can't hear this song without Van Canto's riddly riddly's and racca tacca's.

[ConstantinW]

@Psychicqueen me too :D

saw van canto live in berlin, since that i can´t hear battery and master of puppets without a racca tacca in hears

[ChrisHisWickedness]

Dude that was hilarious. Not even the shirt being thrown, but James' reaction lol. METALLICA KICKS ASS

[poppybasers]

Thanks dick!

HAHAHHAHA

[carchis]

This is why I love this band, because of who they were and who they are...

[SiGhast]

@kingjason74946 That part kicked ass. Seriously. If I ever become the vocalist of a band, I'll freakin' adopt that as a signature thingy.

[bubi8894]

Thanks dick! BATTERYYYYYY!!

[Fr34k1ng0ut]

Pfft, t-shirt is nothin'! Mustaine got a horrible bra thrown onto his guitar ;D. WAIT, maybe the shirt was an advice that Hetfield should put one on?! ;D Should've been grateful! Srsly, most half-naked sweaty metalheads ain't hot. I hate when they do that :/.

[XxjOoSePhoOxX]

@Fr34k1ng0ut ps no fue para que te guste -.- y kirk tiene un brazier en su guitarra

[MetalRockForever]

@Fr34k1ng0ut The idea isn't that they want to look really sexy on stage... When you're playing the music they're playing when it's hot out.. trust me.. you'd want to take your shirt off just so you can stay comfortable.

[josevaladez100]

@Fr34k1ng0ut wtf is faken hot outside and trust me when you play guitar that fast and sing you get sweaty really fast

[Fr34k1ng0ut]

@josevaladez100 But they make my eyes bleed!!! :D So what, maybe one day they'll start taking pants off too? Still think it's more of a 'rockstar fashion' thing. Or maybe I don't realize that I'm a lesbian O.O OHMYGOD! Or maybe I just envy them because I can't take my shirt off when it's hot! Fairness and equality for all!!! ;D Trust me, they DO wanna look sexy. Helps sales on the hopeless dumb female market.

[Matt5199012]

Lmfao, thanks dick!

[ChrisM1234]

Weird combo for that show...

MONSTERS OF ROCK

Van Halen (headline act, 100 minutes)

Scorpions (75 minutes)

Dokken (60 minutes)

Metallica (60 minutes)

Kingdom Come (45 minutes)

[Q1138]

@ChrisM1234 Van Hagar rocked that night but Metallica owned the show. 

[ozzyhead73]

@ChrisM1234 i saw this in foxboro mass, june 12th 1988, and kingdom CLONE (as everyone was calling them!) wasnt on the bill!! that band sucked big time!!!!

[Jerrymonyor]

and jason????



[motleycrue24]

hes all like put a shirt on james heres mine haha

[MaidenfanCGB]

Haha James got the wrong verse at the end! xD

[MrN1koloza]

He Said Blitzkrieg ^.^

[jib36]

1:28 bum note, what a tune though, to play it live too..... insane :D

[krollaostmedburger]

@jib36 what the hell is a bum note?

[jib36]

@krollaostmedburger it means a wrong note, sorry, i'm british ha ha

[JLLproductions]

i don't think james likes being disturbed whilst playing lol

[frenkiebeats]

thanks for posting because it shows us once again MetallicA is the greatest band ever to walk this earth. but the funny part was about 0.344 second

[muelastube]

2 or 3 seconds of jason  they didnt really love him.

[Hellridermario]

AWESOME!!! xD

[wiifan001]

The first time I thought he said "Thanks kid."

Second time: "Thanks dick."

[loknloll]

thanks, dick!!

[Sideler74]

This was the Monsters Of Rock Tour. Kirk is wearing his Vampira T-shirt. He always wore that one. haaha

[snutt3n]

0:00 - 0:10 Damage Inc, then battery wtf oO

[beastlysk8r22]

0:19 kill em all sounding screem?

[drebin6]

would anyone else agree that in this "time period" James sounds the best?

[TRTR95]

@drebin6

yeh! dude you're right ...in the dvd justice tour...his voice are so f*ckoing awesome...when he sing and justice for all..i feel like a lot in my ears...METALLICA RULE DUDE'S!!

(Hey sorry, my english sux...i skeak spanish..and i learning english hehe... xD)

[drebin6]

@TRTR95 xD

[xxfirenchaosxx]

@drebin6 This is before he blew his vocals out while singing "So What!" while touring for the black album

[rudobuquadrant]

@drebin6 i agree that in this " time period" Metallica sounded best

[invictusonline]

@drebin6 i really like his voice in the kill em all period

[hondaracingnet]

@drebin6 i would totally agree

[SomeoneWitSkill]

@drebin6

absolutely

[ceegee71]

I totally agree with you. In this period he didn't suffer yet from voice-problems.

Constant touring and living the cliché R'n'R lifestyle did cause an immense wear and tear of his voice.

[spencer5078]

@drebin6 best atitude and agression too

[ArtQuakedoom95x4]

@drebin6 james sounds better in 88-2003 for me, just my opinion.

[jake548490]

@drebin6 only cuz he doesnt sound like a country singer

[MrBoffom]

@drebin6 me and 152 others agree

[Brugar18]

@drebin6 hell yeah! watching metallica's 80's vids i start to feel like im in 80's xD

[xxGmodFTWxx]

@drebin6 i think it depends on the song..... but yeah i guess so, death magnetic was just super deep and heavy, St. Anger, idk what the fuck they tried doing there, but the others were good

[bibby5000]

damn, they used to be good!

[tnpan]

@bibby5000 >Implying they still aren't good.

[tommycore]

@bibby5000 - The Best man!

[bibby5000]

@tommycore I can't take any more 'YEAH!!!'s

[shocked787]

0:58 XD hahaha! omg what a dick!

[metllica333]

thanks dick haha

[RoCkErX285]

0:54

[wlfrnfdjf]

I like the video where he catches a shoe & lectures the one who threw it. lol

[IamFuU]

hehe this was made when i was 1 day old. from that time, till now.. long live metallica!

[studio32]

This is the old Hetfield that I want to see today !!!

[superuriko100]

[SuperMetallicats]

"Cannot kill the battery, the battery is found in me" Thanks dick, Classic, Love metallica XD

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

[Absolex2000x]

[mirosotoz]

[mirosotoz]

[estevansballs2]

They should add that to the song lmao THANKS DICK!!

HAHA BYAA BYAAA APPROVED!!!

[StormHornet56]

[nateswitch]

no focus on jason what so ever except for the end

[metfreak81]

it happens at 0:55

[BitsOfYourFriendsOnU]

1:07 looks like james hits drum with head
