Flawless Solo!

[OrochiSoldier]

[kwstudius123]

[kraxic]

@MiyasmaTube I like it though..

[coooba94]

superb!

[blackmoreOrion]

Is it just me or they're playing it too slow ???

[spike007980]

@blackmoreOrion Nah it's at a good speed. If anything its faster than the album tempo

[blackmoreOrion]

@spike007980

type "Irony" in wikipedia.....

[MikeKarabian]

@spike007980 it is faster than the album

[MiyasmaTube]

@blackmoreOrion They're playing it way faster than it originally was. It's Lars' fault for being so bad at keeping time.

[Sebaaaaast]

@MiyasmaTube It's no-one's fault, lol. They just want to play it faster.

[KingOfParrots]

damn, jason did the best bass fills

[spike007980]

@KeeGay13 Erm...Good Sir, please type in english for my videos as most of my fans and viewers are probably American. Don't get me wrong I'm sure you typed something awesome, but I can't read it myself LOL.

[AdmBial]

@spike007980

He say that it's awesome to se the band live.

[spike007980]

@AdmBial Thank you good sir!

[Applesoap]

Hey guys im looking for a specific live version of ride the lightning, i think it was a bit newer but not after 2006.

In the beginning hetfield says "We didnt play this one for a while, love it baby" then they start playing the intro.

Anyone have a idea by any chance? Been looking for it for a while now

[xxGTAxx1]

Why this isn't in 1080p ?? ^_^

[spike007980]

@xxGTAxx1 No need for such cheesy gimmicks, besides, it'd look like shit in higher def.

[habboilija96]

4 people are strapped in the electric chair.

[mychaoichigo]

I love Metallica but honestly I think the suck live

[spike007980]

@mychaoichigo Wait wut?

[Michel12346]

@mychaoichigo they suck live?????? Are you kidding me??????

[cherubimification]

old school..........old best times......

[Jolle94]

Is this in Gothenburg? :)

[cherubimification]

@Jolle94 man i think yet,he told twice the name....

[Jolle94]

@cherubimification Yeah but it was a bit hard to hear exactly what he said. ^^

[spike007980]

@Jolle94 Yes it is the Gothenburg Feburary 13th 1987 date.

[poliyaa9]

no podia esperar menos de metallica, el mejor de todos :)

[cartola1985]

Best solo ever from metallica

[Alecmiester]

buncha hypo bastards.

fuckin love it.

[zooma709]

James is so drunk. :D \m/

[dani1928]

I'm watching new Metallica concerts, everything is so slow and passionless...

now 1987, that's Metallica!!!!

[MrKevin1107]

@dani1928 SO TRUE!!!!!!! =D

[HeavyVerbzz]

@dani1928

your mom at 20 years was a hottie

now at 60 is old and dry........................you­ can't stay the same forever you know

[dani1928]

@HeavyVerbzz

Well...Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Sodom, Destruction, Kreator, Annihilator, they all stayed kickass and are still thrashing like hell today, unlike Metallica.

[HeavyVerbzz]

@dani1928

can i know whats wrong with metallica thats better in slayer or megadeth?...

[dani1928]

@HeavyVerbzz

That Slayer and Megadeth still make excellent thrash metal, with feeling, with power, for the fans, not the money.

Slayer and Megadeth can still perform their old songs as the used to, sometimes even better, Metallica can't.

[HeavyVerbzz]

@dani1928

and metallica doesn't?....lets be honest slayer and megadeth weren't as nearly famous as metallica...they stay that way cause they were no were near where metallica...................oh and ur a megadeth fanboy aren't u

[dani1928]

@HeavyVerbzz

for metal fans, megadeth and slayer were as "famous" as metallica, the only difference, is that metallica sold out and began making shitty mainstream music.

and no, i am not a megadeth fanboy, if you can call me a fanboy of anyone, it would probably be an exodus fanboy ;D

[Iceozo1]

@dani1928 And also Slayer haven't been at all good since the 1990, it's just been rehash after rehash and they sure as hell can't play live like they used to. Megadeth still do well though.

[dani1928]

@Iceozo1

I actually really like God Hate Us All, Divine Intervention and Christ Illusion.

[Iceozo1]

@dani1928 Not Anthrax.... lol definitely not Anthrax. You also left Testament out that just ain't right.

[ronaldmigahil]

This is the REAL STUFF that METALLICA used, in order to rule the world then... I honestly don't like the 2008 version..

[drlargepants]

Good old days ...

[hockeydude634]

i wish james had he same voice as this from today

[iantsang1030]

@2:25 epic Jason Newsted scream

[BloodGutsAndBeer]

@iantsang1030 hahah holy fuck no kidding man!! that was sick.

[spike007980]

I do thank the crazy ass fans that almost got this fucker up to 60,000

[ohgoditsjames94]

This needs more views, this should most certainly been seen by every Metallica fan!

[southsidebanjo]

I just worry about their ears.....

[napalmburn1994]

My all time favorite song by MetallicA

[MrKevin1107]

@napalmburn1994 mine too! =D

[iamericwhite]

@arrebmx

What's your point?

[thojyout23]

I LOVE THIS LIVE VERSION!!!!

[axelciama]

AWESOME I LOVE METALLICA

[jptzy]

love the solo in this song as well as all the solos in trapped under ice. my 2 fav songs on this album

[psychophille]

[rawkgawdez]

@psychophille -- they are my AIR. \m/

[NuKEm92]

Kirks solo at 3:40 KICKS ASS,Thunderstormed it \m/ \m/ *holds up lighter*

[Mitchymetal]

metalllica is the god of thrash metal!

[CSanchezTube]

@Mitchymetal i really don't think so but they're explodes my mind out !!!

[meyer412]

Fucking bad ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juandiegometallica]

metallica was, is and is going to be kickass for ever!....METALLICA ROCKS!!!

[viciogames]

"Its the blue with a lil eletric chair on it."

hm, let me see.... MASTER OF PUPPETZ

(ironic)

[iamericwhite]

Err, how could this be 1987? Ride the Lightning came out in 1984, and Master of Puppets came out in 1986.

[81RacOOn]

@iamericwhite ride the lightning came out 1986 and this show played in the year 1987 .. so ?? what ??

[81RacOOn]

@iamericwhite erk , i mean 1984

[EPizits]

@iamericwhite So... What's your point? They made this song in 84 and are played it 3 years later in concert. They always play some of their older songs at their concerts. They STILL play seek and destroy and they made that song in 1982!!

[spike007980]

@iamericwhite It's a live performance bootlegged by a metallifuck, and it happened to be on the setlist they wanted to play ride the lightning. plain and simple.

Just no cliff burton.

[iamericwhite]

@spike007980

Right, my mistake.

[pilif25]

@iamericwhite So what?

[pwnagexe]

@iamericwhite so when a new album is released they play no older songs? fucking moron

[ozzy33334]

@iamericwhite you're a fucking dumbass. Just because RTL came out in 84 and MOP in 86 doesn't mean that they don't play any older songs...you expect to go to a concert and hear them play only Death Magnetic stuff?

[nulnul9]

@iamericwhite eh i dont know but they are still playing this live. -.-'

[willpoire]

@iamericwhite

Death Magnetic came out in 2008 and yet they played Ride The Lightning in 2010. How could be since this song came out in 1984?!

Honest mistake.

[Metalcohol9]

@willpoire ...RIDE THE LIGHTNING CAME OUT IN 1984!!! I DISTINCTIVELY REMEMBER LISTENING TO IT THEN!!!

[iamericwhite]

@willpoire

You're right, I know. I'm a total idiot. lol

[hafieq]

i don't know much about guitar, did kirk use wahwah? i don't know about the solo, sounds not natural

[jamesliebone]

Justin Beiber is better than Metallica.

Lol jk, that little queer deserves to burn in hell for making such shitty music.

[stenback31289]

@jamesliebone thats the music ill hear down there, they say you hear the music you hate the most, so ill hear them and the emo slicers in hell...

[70moparbaby]

nice thrash pants

[dee1695]

@linkinn18

and today not ? lol..



[linkinn18]

The times when Metallica was Awesome!!

[chestus12]

Ride the Lightning solo is not terribly difficult to play...but how could you play it flawlessly at that speed??! Goddamn!

[pilif25]

I'd like them to play RTL that fast now!

[bret1892]

they use to play this song alot faster back then

[tonho54t4N]

[guitarhero08ful]

[buzzkiller97]

why so fast!!!!!!!!

[metalswan1]

lol saw them man y many times but still like the old shit at most hehehhhe gna gna sweet memories its like a candy peace out rock out all till you cant move

[santanaincubus]

Kirk is my hero. Fuck all those people who say Joe Satriani is better than him. I have 2 things to say. They are equal or Kirk is better than him.

[maidenfreak94]

@santanaincubus you really cant compare them, every guitarist is his or her self

[dani1928]

Back when Metallica was awesome...

[GBeast2029]

@dani1928 they still are

[slantyrock]

i like how james sings that part between 5:15 and 5:22

[G0dliek]

[Egonzal316]

[TallicaRTL]

[jonynob]

[Vegetsu101]

If you love the Intro of the song as like me, Thumbs up!!!!

[gojirason]

@Vegetsu101 well i like the whole song so.

[jamesliebone]

"its the blue one with little electric chair on it, yeah." lol.

[jplou2]

[hallmarkman08]

kirk hammet is a beast

[XXArmsOfNukesxX]

possibly the best thrash metal song EVER

[HAWKO122323]

would of been awesome if it were this fast on the album, i would like it more.

[fras888]

@HAWKO122323

becuse kirk is playing not the original songwriter Dave mustaine

[jkjl234]

@fras888 hammet wrote the solo. dave wrote one riff. THAT'S IT.

[zepplin922]

YES!!!

[DarkWolf100692]

WACKED BY HORID SCREAM !!!!!!

[yappertrap]

This is Metallica. Always will be. Raw loud and angry.

[TKDJohnnie]

oh man...

the good years of Metallica..

[guitarchamp616]

holly fucking shit that was straight up thrash metal right there!!! Thats how its fucking done. Metallicas a boss!

[ChaplainDMK]

There must have been some crazy mosh pits in there...

And amazing how the main riff got a surf rock flavour cuz the bass was so loud lol :D

[ChaplainDMK]

YOUVE GOT THE SECOND ALBUMMMMM!!!!!!!

Its the one with the little electric chair... yeah...

:D

[MetallicA1399]

they wil be powerful foreva :D !

[jrhcowl]

this is the way ride the lightning should be played!!!!!!!!!

it's a shame the way they play this awesome song nowadays.... so sad :(

[monsieurmitosis]

Guitars sound beefy as fuck.

[Palli450]

Wow...this is amazing!!!!!!!!!! freakin speed metal man!!!! Tallica'4life !

[MetallicA1399]

[Kytchos]

[TheOrangeFondler]

Nailed the solo!

[jackwontknow1]

"the blue one with the little electric chair on it"... James Hetfield drunk = fun time

[Ienstien965]

yes indeed my friend, yes indeed :)

[DaGx1395]

Jason.

[jackwontknow1]

haha WINDMILL!!

[REDSOXNYG]

Who's on bass?

[FredDude27]

Clip was filmed in 1987 so I guess Jason is the bass-dude.

[RockonDude92]

how is the audio so good but the video so bad?

[SireGreat]

At least it's not the other way around.

[bbgambino99]

I also thought this solo was impossible, but im only a year and half into guitar and i can play it....maybe not perfect but if you practice you can get it

it is pretty hard though, it requires a shit load of stamina

[StagnantExistance]

Now that's the proper way of mixing bass !

[1xcrosswordx1]

killer.

[GrimSkraper]

God, watching him play that solo gave me chills. Theres a reason this song wasn't put into guitar hero.

[ChaplainDMK]

@GrimSkraper

Its just like i imagine 2000 volts going trough my head would sound like :D

[mattacheese3]

lol its Rock Band Add On

[kornday66]
