Metallica - Ecstasy of Gold (Intro Video)

[UmaraiL]

Well ain't a graveyard if their ain't no bodies plus mostly stick crosses and mounds of dirt

[TheMSpence89]

Anyone else get chills watching this?

[MD4594]

its hard to imagine that whole graveyard was made just for the movie

[demoralisant]

Westernopera

[SoulStakerProduction]

why would this video have any dislikes?

[instanceTu]

one of the greatest moments in movie history

[Polardj900CPCP]

Ennio Morricone was coming back from Heaven after giving God his monthly perfromance review when he was confronted by a beast resembling Barbara Streisand. He dispatched the creature with a slice of cake and a toothbrush. He then rendezvoused with Edward Khil, Gilgamesh, Aragon, Chuck Testa, Gaston and Jimmy Page and proceeded to decimate an army of robotic emo vampires while piloting an X - Wing saving dozens of Korean orphans. He eventually returned home and wrote this song.

[piuthemagicman]

@Polardj900CPCP NOPE, CHUCK TESTA!

[Chapterfour352]

i was at knebworth for the big 4 wen this came on Me My Cousin and one of his bands guitarists paul where yelling in exitment and joy when this came on

[mrfutureawesomerocke]

@DarkSwan641 because its fuckin awesome!

[DarkSwan641]

Why does Metallica always open with this?

[94krisu]

@DarkSwan641 why did you even ask, just watch the movie the good the bad and the ugly and you notice its the best movie in the world....pure art!!

[DarkSwan641]

@94krisu I've seen it multiple times, I know. But why do they do it before every show?

[94krisu]

@94krisu Its the same reason why ramones played "the good the bad and the ugly theme" before every show. I mean when you hear ennios masterpiece, you get the same badass feeling everytime! Metallica will never abandon this tradition, because its so unique. Their show wouldnt be the same without ecstasy of gold!!

[mshrum555]

lol metallica loves eastwood

[Zelle10]

That has nothing to do with metallica. They covered it so what ??

[TheUltimateCannel]

Metallica for life bitch!!!

[mgmans1]

HAha true

[MrJapaneseboy1111]

eli wallach nm 1 !!

[BelluomoEpico94]

amazing.. i love this intro...

[xXxP11xXx]

the album of Master of Puppets D:

[tomkez80]

0:50 Muttley's laugh ;)

[slayerfan61]

metallica still sucks! even though the 1991 concert was cool!

[Bustersword6piece]

@slayerfan61

ok b-boy -_-

[mehtaalihkuh]

@ClistnvInst329 actually you're wrong. it was johnny zazula who suggested the song to the band for kirk's first gig with them and it just stuck (1983)

[RedzaaHD]

This gives me such a unique buzz when I hear it at a Metallica concert. So good!

[Cllstnvlnst329]

Was S/M the first Metallica concert at which this piece became a standard?  Back when I first got SnM in 99 or so, I was a kid who hadn't been made wise to Sergio/Ennio/Clint and Westerns so putting it all together now is crazy to me!

[lortallica]

Metallicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa



[JD3V3N3Y]

@SlimBoyArcadeFire ...wow

[321KojaK123]

First time I saw this vid I haven't seen the movie yet and I cried

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

Ennio Morricone - a genius!!!

[kirxoff09]

I love Metallica, but this is a masterpiece of Ennio Morricone, my compatriot ... I'm disappointed that many of you think it's a Metallica song...

[joeason1010]

Only the greatest could come out to this

[jonsidneyb]

Ennio Morricone

[Wilmata101]

With this Video, now i understand the strange sounds in the audio of the Big 4

[submarinerDeep6]

a total waste

[DanteSteel]

OK,.Movie Trivia:What was the name on the grave where the "Gold was buried"?First correct answer wins Metallica front row seating for life.

[kacyaCBN]

@DanteSteel Un un..unknown

[MaidenMo23]

@DanteSteel It was Arch Stanton's grave where the "Gold Was buried," but the unknown grave next to it had the actual gold in it. I don't need any tickets or anything.

[monamOneX]

now tell me if metallica hadn't choosed the best intro song !

[MrMetallFreak]

the man runs like a gaylord

[XxXChloexX]

cannot waait to see them live!!!!!

[Polardj900CPCP]

Ennio Morricone was coming back from Heaven after giving God his monthly perfromance review when he was confronted by a grotesque dragon resembling Barbara Streisand. He dispatched the creature with a slice of cake and a toothbrush. He then rendezvoused with Gamera, Numa Numa and Jimmy Page and proceeded to decimate an army of enchanted robotic vampires while piloting an X - Wing saving dozens of Korean orphans. He eventually came home and wrote this song.

[Totema1]

@Polardj900CPCP I can't thumb this up enough.

[TheZippoMontefiore]

@Polardj900CPCP This is probably the best comment ever posted on youtube.

[Imperator2808]

the intro is so awesome!!! its awesome like Judas Priests The Hellion + Electric Eye

[mclapt]

mio amici is Sergio Leone

[Oevlisen]

The movie is the good the bad and the ugly

[Zantozzzz]

[edrulesok]

[KIartext]

[mike85ist]

@KIartext YEAH WE NEED STARS BACK DONT WE

[haakon83]

23 persons don't like gold.

[bossinator666]

Now i'm going to watch this movie, its so epic...

[Miggybiz]

The good, the bad and the ugly...la mejor!!! Que viva Clint Eastwood!!!

[BARRYNP]

COMO SE LLAMA ESA PELICULA DE Clint Eastwood

[LuisRamirez666]

@BARRYNP El bueno, el malo y el feo

[MelR0berts]

I love how metallica made this their intro to their concerts.

[TheWater911]

Yeah, this seems to be with a crowd cheering from metallica, no metallica actually playing.

[prettypriscy16]

goosebumps anyone???

[jlehane3]

In the scheme of history,Metallica reintroduced Ennio Morricone to past and future generations of fans,so much so that Ennio could then tour worldwide with instant recognition,which he deserved.They gave him tribute and DELIVERED him back to his AUDIENCE,as if they were called to serve and answered the call.He was and is in great demand.

[4fitter27]

The best song from the best soundtrack to the best movie of all time!

[bigcack48]

long movie..but builds to an EPIC ending

[slashenator]

what film is this song from

[Floxen]

@slashenator

Il buono, Il brutto, Il cattivo, (the good the bad the ugly)

[PHT066]

@slashenator The good, the bad and the ugly.

[acdcfan014]

@slashenator I could punch you in the face for asking that...

[oneprizeonegoal]

This song will always remind me of Tuco running like a madman through the graveyard

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

@coldas. You idiot. Morricone made it the classic it is, Metallic loved it so much they couldn't resist playing it. And it's Not a song. If it was then The Angelus would be a song. It's Instrumental

[TheMorso96]

AMAZING

[jomadicu04]

Tuco trying to kick the dog is awesome!

[mooseasaurusrex]

At :20 seconds in.

Anybody else here a fart?

[raminile]

@mooseasaurusrex lol that's just the video interference :P

[matthewkoz]

@mooseasaurusrex "hear". Retard.

[mooseasaurusrex]

@matthewkoz Aww C"MON, Matt!

We're not BFF's anymore because I made a spelling error?

And I thought eye (HA!) had a lot of free time; that post was 2 months ago.

You shaved chimp.

[g74ui78ll88ermo]

@mooseasaurusrex .... i heard it!!

[scott13578]

[oeneboy]

@mooseasaurusrex Nope I didn't

[Turkisshh2]

@mooseasaurusrex

[Screep55]

@mooseasaurusrex this is no fart you moron.

[mooseasaurusrex]

@Screep55 Yeah! Because... Wow. I thought *I* had a lot of free time. :/

[Screep55]

@mooseasaurusrex what? dude, just shut up and enjoy the fucking music.

[mooseasaurusrex]

@PortableMarmalade Wow. I thought *I* had a lot of free time. Of all the witty banter I've posted on youtube, YOU! make it a point to explain how the age of the film and how it skipped and dragged a bit to create the noise I pointed at as being a fart. FOUR MONTHS AGO!

I wanna be your BFF. Just as soon as you stop acting like a whiny bitch.

[LuKaG96]

@mooseasaurusrex also at 1:46

[boazandjiacinth]

@mooseasaurusrex lucky it didnt turn to mud!..

[Wildstar1960]

@mooseasaurusrex Sure sounded like one. Not fireworks that's for sure.

[mooseasaurusrex]

@BusinessDone YEAH! You really said ...something.

[Eweskere]

Relexion faite : pourrait-on trouver une musique originale non piratée par la culture six-joe'spack american ?

[Eweskere]

Est-on obligé d'être parasyté par Metallica ?

[fran963852741]

lol i was especting "enter sandman" to start playing when the video was done haha

too much metallica

NO! NEVER!

[LeeTGoNsO]

the man with no name would win

[Mbarnes3381]

Who would win, Clint or Chuck?

[djvidd]

@Mbarnes3381 Quoting Clint(Munny) from Unforgiven: "You don't have to worry, Kid. I ain't gonna kill you. You're the only friend I got."

[Mbarnes3381]

Reminds me of Kill Bill some reason

[Gehan01]

@Mbarnes3381 Kill Bill was Quentin Tarantino's homage to the Sergio Leone/Ennio Morricone spaghetti westerns of old. That's why the filming, editing and writing are so unusual by modern cinematic standards.

Definitely watch the originals though, like 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly' and 'Once upon a time in Mexico' they're unbelievable and they're scored by Morricone, the composer of the brilliant piece in this video.

[MinisterKGB]

Clint eastwood will hit you without even aiming the cannon, He is just that good

[xkampfkolossx]

The Ecstasy of Gold - Zinedine Zidane

/watch?v=sKivmD_G7As

[666Felfire]

I heard this on an ad not too long ago, I came bricks. :D Stung like fuck, but hey, thats what happened

[nahusoad]

YO ESTUVE AHI! METALLICA EN ARGENTINA 2010, VI ESE VIDEO Y HOY QUE LO PUEDO VER DE NUEVO SE ME CAEN LAS LAGRIMAS

[XvxBERSERKxvX]

Lol, The video right before anticipating a night full of epic mosh pitting. My heart is pumping as if I was there again!

[televisewhatyouwant]

I hate metallica in general, but I respect that they use this song in its fullness

[dickiedik5]

@televisewhatyouwant what you hate on metallica?

[televisewhatyouwant]

@dickiedik5 I just really dislike the music, nothing personal.

[dickiedik5]

@televisewhatyouwant yeh allright, and, what is your music than?

[ryboy619]

Best band ever / Best movie ever. Perfect

[Buttdead]

best western movie ever!!!!!

[evildeadbully]

[taradodatarde]

FILHO DE UMA GRAN PUTANNA ! GREAT SONG .

[WantedReward93]

[unlimited00]

iron maiden: check

acdc: check

megadeth: check

anthrax: check

I NEED TO SEE METALLICA LIVE!

[TheBUNTOO100]

@unlimited00 REALLY YOU HAVE SEEN THEM ALL>MAN YOU A BIG METAL FAN LIKE ME .BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I LIVE IN PAKISTAN SUBCONTINENT WHERE ONLY FEW KNOWS THEM.OTHER WISE I WOULDN'T MISS ANY OF THEM SPECIALLY METALLICA.

[iswima]

tuco runs like a bitch

[loriparker666]

so metallica came up with this tune? 

[bassmasstaa]

@loriparker666 no, it is from a composer, but the covered it..

[Xatalion]

the god, the bad, the ugly XD

[Pinesol23]

i'm glad metallica feels the same way i do about this amazing scene

[theblasto]

Sorry Mr. Morricone. Don't read into the fact that Metallica likes your work. You're still one the greatest composers of all time.

[kane916]

@theblasto that makes no sense

[theblasto]

@kane916 Yeah it does. If a real musician like Ennio Morricone found out that a bunch of whiny little hacks with macho complexes covered his song, I'm sure he'd be depressed by it.

Bonus, my Metallica impression: "YEEEAH! WE'RE so fucking HARD core and melodramatic about everything! We act like tough guys to create a false sense of manliness around us."

Honestly, I don't know how Metallica isn't hated the same way Nickleback is. Let me guess, you love Nickleback.

[kane916]

@theblasto sorry but ur retarted your metallica impression shows it more because metallica dont even act like that and i bet that uve never heard them seing you would say that they would call them selves hardcore as for nickle back i dont even like them i dont hate them either. ok now the problem metallica asked ennio to use this song as there introduction music and ennio was thrilled. metallica hasnt covered it either the one they used was the remastered one done by ennio himself just for them

[theblasto]

@kane916 It's not worth my time to try and decipher what you've written there. If English isn't your first language, well then you speak more languages than I do, so congrats. But if English IS your first language, this is sad.

[kane916]

@theblaso sorry didnt know you couldn't read a simple paragraph. ennio was very happy to remaster this song just for metallica he likes them. plus dont know were the fuck nickle back comes into this and no i dont even like them. and lastly FUCK YOU you cant say metallica is bad they are extreemly talented and i cant be fucked arguing over this ok?

[theblasto]

@kane916 I can read simple paragraphs. What you typed was a ineloquent run-on sentence.

I mentioned nickelback because Metallica reminds me of them. Not their style of music, but just on the amount of respect they get from me.

[kane916]

@theblasto i honnestly dont have time to write my comments neatly also i am a music student i dont only like metal i like all forms of music i apreaciate that you like music like this but saying metallica is shit isnt right especially when they arn't and they have a lot of talent. i understand if you dont like them but they are still good.

[metallibanger]

METALLICA FOR LIFE

[loligun1]

I was so excited when this video started rolling, just before the show...I couldn't stand still...

when you see this video, and hear this music - you know you're heading towards an amazing night.

[bubbajimmy8]

Ennio Morricone FTW

[CFCMladen]

I think I will die of excitement hearing this song on Metallica concert

[MetalUpYourAssFuck]

@CFCMladen you never heard it? i hear it twice, btw i was drunk lol

[Oogball]

Everytime is listen to this song i have to cry...

It's so fucking beautiful..

[PescaraJocker]

Spaghetti western

[Mesojonistic]

Ennio Morricone...... what a genious. I love this movie so damn much.

[TheDc316]

@Mesojonistic ...you exactly posted what was on my mind..just wow man..ennio morricone good the bad the ugly and metallica....Heavenly

[Emiko415]

Metallica uses the song as an intro...to leech off of one of the great soundtracks in motion picture history.

Pathetica

[Tarkess]

@Emiko415

..Or to pay tribute to it, because they know how great of a song it is.

[VoodooGypsy]

@Emiko415 So you don't like Bruce Springsteen either?

[metallica27796]

this is not metallica version this is ennio morricone

[Emiko415]

Epic attempt to leech off of one of the most recognizable soundtracks of all time.

Pathetica.

[StoneProductionsUK]

@Emiko415 that was a shit attempt, ennio himself worked with metallica, he obviously appreciates it, FUCK YOU.

[walkerfire177]

@StoneProductionsUK No he actually didn't work with Metallica at all as the song was written in 1966. Metallica just uses the song as an intro.

[Emiko415]

@walkerfire177

Thank goodness there are some people who understand the difference between Authentica and fake "homage" LV or Cartier items that leech off of the popularity and quality of the original product.

[eric107ful]

that's the mo

re epic song of metal

[Menega007]

Listening to this brings back memories....best concert ever

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

this song perfectly fits metallica

[Bulk39]

All of u is saying metallica? Shouldent u be saying Ennio Morricone the guy who acctully made this song?

[CallMeCreamy]

@Bulk39 fuck no that song is shit its the metallica version that is good XD

[Skelengar]

@CallMeCreamy But the version in the video isn't the metallica version. Are you saying you don't like the version in the video?

[djvidd]

@Bulk39 Yes. Metallica didn't play any part of this (intro version) as I know of. However, they had a whole orchestra remake the song for their opening sequence of their concerts. Credits go to Ennio Morricone for this fantastic theme, and to Metallica and the orchestra for making this incredible version of it. This version is simply breath-taking, and is a great haul-over of an already epic theme.

[coldas]

@Bulk39 without metallica this would be another crappy song from movie. But metallica made this the best introduction track ever.

[Christiaanleib]

@Bulk39 Yeah, but love it how Metallica tribute his great work by playing it in their live album S&M with a symphonic orchestra :)

And this is Metallica who's playing it, that's why it sais Metallica ^^ You're not gonna go to Adele's video of To Make You Feel My Love and comment; why does it say ADELE?! it's bob Dylan's masterpiece! No that's called COVER. That's what Metallica did here too, and the word "tribute" would be at it's right too when placed here ;)

[thisismy7thusername]

@Bulk39

"'Ecstasy of Gold' Video, which is played on every Metallica-Concert.

directed by Sergio Leon, Music composed by

Ennio Morricone." This is a quote from the description. Learn to read, and type.

[SLCforLIFE]

@Bulk39 i disagree with you. this title is fine. like everyone else is saying, this is played at Metallica's concert

[luigibattista10]

@Bulk39 Bravo.. :)

[sightt]

MetallicAAAAAA :))))

[thunder88822]

He did you notice Tuco took his dog along?
