The Thing That Should Not Be Live in 1987

[DamageIncorperated86]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug...

[Jwoodill2112]

My favorite matallica song.

[1ballz08]

Cool but, damn, slow it down, boyz, lol.

[dani1928]

wow, Metallica used to have fucking huge balls back in the day, what happened to them?!

[DamageIncorperated86]

@dani1928 Hmm....I don't know maybe they got older? Oh yeah, that's right, THEY'RE ALMOST 50!

[dani1928]

@DamageIncorperated86

Iron Maiden are all over 50 years old, and they are better then ever.

[DamageIncorperated86]

@dani1928 Better than ever is definitely a stretch...still good? yes. Better than ever? no.

[dani1928]

@DamageIncorperated86

I disagree with you on this thing, Bruce Dickinson sings better then he sang at the 80's, and combining

Adrian Smith, Dave Murrary and Janick Jers just did good to this band.

Same goes about Grave Digger.

[hafieq]

wow, this speed up version actually sounds good

[nitemareindustries]

this is how metallico is supposed to sound like, not the crappy sound they have nowadays

[santillica]

@nitemareindustries hey men not cool

[DarkWolf100692]

vocals are like a demon when its dark :D

[hoang1428]

I like the solo its creepy and badass

[cazshredtillimdead]

ths song is so sick and fucking underated. and with the tempo thing, Its all about adrenaline. once ur up ther burning up ur wrists itz hard to go slow!

[badmotherfucker83]

TOO FUCKIN FAST!!!!

[pienJe]

they can't play too fast man

[mpqz33]

The speed is awesome

[badmotherfucker83]

there are songs that suond better fast and songs that sound better slow. This isn't a "fast" song. Now they play it in the right way. It's slow and heavy. Listen to the awesome studio version.

[johnnychronic222]

insane video.... too bad there was a black out in it for a minute, the audio is very powerful, it felt like i was there.

[1xcrosswordx1]

GOTHENBURG!!!!

this show pretty much proves that 87 was the best and worst year of their career. James's voice is still full of the growl, and he can hit the low notes like in 89, but they didnt have Cliff. fucking curse and gift.

though Jason still kicked ass.

[jcroldan89]

holy shit

this is fucking awesome.

[simpskins]

this sounds pretty cool at a fast pace

[kije11938]

Slayer & Megadeth Fan! please see ViDEO. haha! This is real the best Metal Band Forever!!!

[Threedaysgraace13]

They always play too fast when they are live but they still sound good.

[BurntToast355]

LOL I love how the rush the shit out of it when they all come in

[cookie5455]

this is just crushing!!!

[Dazsturbed]

This is how it should sound live. James' voice is amazing in the recording.

[ocaldini]

nice quality, where did this gig take place?

[spike007980]

Götenborg, Sweden Feb 13th 1987 the very last Damage Inc Tour with Jason.

[tnordmo]

Göteborg *

[iachelini]

@spike007980 : You mean Cliff, right?

[6412cmr]

James sounds a lot like dave everrrrrr

Best frontman in metal history

[Badfish228]

Beastly guitar sound here. I love it

[ageplosvsq]

wow, heavy shit! and pretty fast too!

[ReBeLhIpI]

this is 50% faster than the original

[spike007980]

No...50 percent would equal Chipmunk voice and the video is done at 3 minutes or so..more like 5 to 10 percent faster typical for live performances

[SputniksArmy]

you're an idiot. If the original is about 6 and a half, and this is 3, then its 50% faster. 100% would be chipmunk voice. And that doesnt mean his voice goes chipmunk, he just sings faster.

[spike007980]

...Hey dumb shit; Ever try listening to a person singing at 50% faster? You can't even fucking understand a lick of it. I already ended the sentence at 3 minutes or so. I should have used a semi colon. Stating most LIVE performances are played 5 to 10% faster depending how drunk they are

[SputniksArmy]

wouldnt 50% just mean a higher temp

o, chipmunk voice only happens when you double it. 50% = 1.5x as fast.

[doctorsadvocategame]

Can you not fucking do math? 50% is .5x as fast. 150% would be 1.5x as fast.

[BucsFanO22]

@spike007980 sorry to break it to you dude but your fucking STUPID! i dont know exactly how much faster it is, but it sounds about 50% faster. now that doesnt mean hes going to have a chipmunk voice are you fucking dumb? thats only on a recording you fucking retard.

[spike007980]

@BucsFanO22 Hey anal discharge, I already explained this shit long ago that the tempo of this song is about 5 to 10 percent faster yea it sounds like there's a thousand more beats to it than the studio recording but you have to remember that they we're drunk, so they play the same thing over and over and faster not only that but the tempo is a lot faster at live performances anyway

[SputniksArmy]

@spike007980 OKay, say you talking at 60bpm... i fyou talk 50% faster, you'd be talking at 90bpm... (50% of 60 = 30.... 60+30=90)

[spike007980]

@SputniksArmy Who the fuck knows how fast their playing this song at this point and time, who gives a fuck man seriously it's a good tune and we shouldn't be beltting each other because of how fast they are playing it who knows maybe their doing 100 beats per minute fucking a dude settle down and enjoy what I uploaded fuck :\

[PandemicRevelutions]

@SputniksArmy It's maybe 10 % faster than normal. Who the fuck cares?

[ChaplainDMK]

@PandemicRevelutions

its fast, its heavy, its fucking epic...

That's all that fucking matters...

[srex89]

@SputniksArmy you sure its 50% i dont think so.... math fail

[metallicafan4lifeand]

thats true they always wanted to make a man out of jason

[fallprey21]

They played this fast alot, so they could see if jason could hang.

[jordisen]

I fukken like it this fast! back in the days they played everything fukken fast and it was great!!

[JEESJEESJEESJEESS]

way too fast.

[spike007980]

get over it

[kirkhammster1]

To fast butits still a cool song!

[1xcrosswordx1]

makes me sad that i wasnt born twenty years earlier. this was when metallica kicked your ass and demanded you stand up to take it again.

[XxAjfanXx]

this is fucking awesome....

[koolmoedee11]

in the words of jason newsted "it's about the heaviest number known to mankind. it's a big old fat motherfucker called the thing that should not be'

[rokyfireloadat32]

OMG sooo fast and sooo fucking heavy!!!!!!

I love those days...fast, raw and in your face!!

One of my fav songs

[englundisgod]

are they actually playing this fast?????????

[mRtReMeLo]

I like it at this tempe. I mean, I prefer it slow and heavy because that's the way it was recorded, butt hearing it differently is great!

[tamadrummr86]

The title always reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "What is and what should never be". This is cool footage man for a sick song.

[spike007980]

this song is from a HP Lovecraft novel.

[scroggdogg28]

so is call of ktulu

[DALAGRR]

James' voice changed so much in '87. And his playing style. Plus its a little weird to see him with a King V, he usually sticks with an Explorer

[Disnote]

I was born on the day they performed this song.

[TestAmenTRULES]

I still had 5 years left untill i was born. lol

[guitaristofgod]

isnt this song about cthulhu or sumthin?

[spike007980]

it's based on the Shadow of Innsmouth, it's fricken good

[Icantgetausername711]

One of the Old Ones

They included a bit of a famous couplet from Lovecraft.

[dhonnar]

It's about Cthulhu. The part "Not dead which eternal lie, stranger aeons Death may die" comes in "The Call of Cthulhu".

[zepman93]

IN MADNESS YOU DWELL!!!

[physicssss]

very fest but amazing song and performance.

I LOVE METALLİCA

[Overseer32]

the bomb

[meggido666]

The good old times

[masterofpuppets232]

wtf is he doing hes has the camera up in the sky

[spike007980]

Crowd probably did shit or he didnt want get caught

[Kezaai]

Roxx.

[deadskinmask213]

Now thats the METALLICA I fuckin remember

[NorvegianBlackMetal]

it`s a little bit faster, but fuck that, still kicks my ass !

[malanos]

this song's the shit...heavy as fuk...Metallica was so energetic on that concert, they couldn't be stopped...and that King V is soooooo freakin cool

[NorvegianBlackMetal]

My favourite song ! after "to live is to die". the "... And justice for all" album is my personal favourite , it reaps my ass off !

[Xylor222]

personally i like ride the lightning better, but it's a close second

[algor123]

yea in a way i tdo to but idk i like them both

[takenoprisioners]

Hetfield using a jackson KV1, MUSTAINE signature model lol

[spike007980]

NOPE! THATS THE FIRST CUSTOM KING V! James had it made in 1985 and I got pics to prove it too

[sabbathica]

power

[Jonnibow666]

Doesn't sound real, like artificially faster...

[spike007980]

The power of live music always amazes me

[acdcCOLINacdc]

the reason its faster is cause lars gets nervous on stage and they have to keep up with him.

[Metallica1963]

better when the play it slow, not so heavy now

[Stossburg]

Yeah, this is interesting, but I'm glad the album version is slower.

[spike007980]

how can you like slower?

[Stossburg]

It sounds more lumbering and sinister when played slower. Still, I'm not knocking the live performance. One of my fave songs of theirs.

[HallojMedDig]

thats faster than the original. thats not slowed down.

[gordoletal]

it sounds good, brutal

[spike007980]

That's how metallica should sound :)

[mettalian]

why slow down? because it dosnt sound as heavy when its faster.

[OblivionDC]

It kicks ass - the black parts are where the camera operator wasn't paying attention and had the camera pointed at the rafters - no lights up there.

[ndfn4]

SICK video. Metallica rules!

[spike007980]

I have it email me it IS not complete though if you wanted soundboard quailty

[mesursur]

It's from the bootleg FANATIC BATTERY - frolundaborg, gothenburg, sweden 13/02/87 & justice demo`s, double

. I had it, but lost it on tape. Does someone have the cd?

[thejoltboy]

Wow I actually thought that's awesome its so fast! I just watched the S&M version and they played it SLOW in that.

[wmarcel2000]

I have that concert on bootleg but never seen vid footage. Awesome - thx! That song is like a hacksaw cutting through bone!

[niceman523]

the sound is good

[spike007980]

why slow down in live action!?

[m169marroquin]

well, the same reason why they slowed down Sad But True for the black album. because it sounds too happy. Songs written like this are suppose to kick back and sit in the pocket.

[m169marroquin]

slow it down damn

[pvtcabo0se]

why would you hate this?

this song is GREAT as fast as they played it.

ITS PURE METAL

[spike007980]

I wasnt the bootleger, Im just a collector of these boots, I do not know why it was all black maybe you had to be there in person to experice the heavyness, and Cliff burton Died on Sept 26th 1986 This was made in 1987 Feburary 13th In gothernburg sweden

[fleskberget]

good video spike007980 but why was it all black in the middle of the film..xD? good song though=) and was Cliff in this video? if he was,it was the biggest mistake you ever done to not film him!

[riseabovethehun]

Great song fom puppets but my fav is orion

[mezatim]

sounds like my remastered version with the metallivault-audio I uploaded last year on some forums!

[whiplash409]

i love this song, metallica is the best metal band ever

[metallisean]

sweet...all i must say

[spike007980]

In 1999 they had a few good gigs as well

[Whackooyzero]

1981-1994 were the years when they had the strongest performances true but the new songs are their best songs since the struggle within and wherever I may roam.Fight Fire With Fire!(Their best song I want another song like that!)

[spike007980]

Nope, Live metallica Was played ALOT faster in 86 and 87 mostly in 88 and 89 you can slowly tell they picked up speed and kicked MAXIMUM ASS

[thoward14]

Metallica at its best!!

[ozzstriker99]

i think metallica lost what they used to have. they lost it in 89 there best was with cliff not that they stink or anything i mean still they got it but not as good as the had from 1981 to 89

[spike007980]

I suggest watch some 2006 Escape the studio mini-tour vidz...

[spike007980]

Not even compressing this stops the beasts called guitars playing this song, its truly an amazing song

[unbakedgravy]

THIS IS THE HEAVIEST SONG KNOW TO MAN!!! HEAVYER THEN CANNIBAL CORPSE WILL EVER BE!!!

[spike007980]

This is the Gothenburg feb 13th 1987 gig or known as the tower of strength gig

[r0cklobster]

The sound quality's surprisingly good. Thanks for the vid.

[LordDes]

Heavy as fuck.

[spike007980]

No shit man

[spike007980]

I apologize for some of the Black outs at least the music still prevails
