Metallica - Fade to Black Live at Bonnaroo 2008 [HD Quality]

[JLA12301985]

4:44 is a very awesome part of the song, I love the whole song it's simply kick ass, but when I listen to the song & that part kicks in it's just something awesome. I can't explain it, I guess it's just the sound.

[OffbeatToothbrush]

Perfect performance :) not too fast like they play now.

[lovesomecujo]

I live in manchester, tn, where bonnaroo is hosted every year and i had never been until metallica came. It was my first concert ever and ill never forget it. This shit people listen to today will come and go but metallica is forever.

[Deceptikon121212]

/MetallicA\ is GREAT!!!!! /MetallicA\ will never burn!!!!

[mmblayer]

what a sustain

[Czajox]

like 20 years back ;d

[Oblivion3200]

@MovieManMe3 dude that made no sense. Obviously I'm talking about the members of the band. when you turn 50 try doing some of the stuff you enjoy doing now.

[blueheadphoneguy]

james inlays just had sex with me!

[desverguenzajena]

How nice is to watch them play this song for over 25 years

[deerslaya8898]

i cant get enough of this song :)

[nqkoi99]

DISTURBED plays this song at live better. :))

[Oblivion3200]

@nqkoi99 disturbed arent almost 50 years old, are they?

[MovieManMe3]

@Oblivion3200 Neither is the band Metallica?!? I mean, the performers in Metallica, yes. But not the band...

[MetallicaSword]

EPIC SONG..best intro ever makes you feel lovely

[ctclymore]

I love Metallica but James needs to shut up with the ooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh and let Kirk freaking play!!!

[Numguk]

5 people are not alive, and are now being sodomized.

[pauljanda5]

This was straight up the first concert I ever went to. I knew of Metallica, but did not really know any of their particular songs. This concert blew me away and I have been a fan ever since!

[syaz0]

5:00 UNO..lol

[Deceptikon121212]

Song is AWSOME, but WHERE THE F**K IS THIS HD?!

[ravimohan88]

i lost my gf

i was upset but nw i found new love over here

i seriously love this song

its orgasm of ears....

[Deceptikon121212]

I love it when they're playing it so slow! MetallicA to HEAVEN!

[bwlee24fsu]

Hearing James say "Show em Kirk"........dude....what a band, what a brotherhood.

[TheSniperr2]

Kirk is the man.

[shiny367]

Best Live Version EVER

[MartianJonn]

they play it half step down here, but i think it actually sounds better \m/

[TrevO143]

Fade to Black gives me chills every time I listen to is, long live metallica

[SuperPrimehunter]

5:02 Uno ? LOL

Freaking best Band ! \m/

[sidelined2]

Marvelous performance by the legends in rock.

[CROGrof]

this is an art.....it's so awesome......best intro ever...... Metallica grathest band ever and forever will be.......

[sldscrapper]

wow , heard this song millions of times...Kirk's opening small solo to this song jus....brings chills its so good

[MrDoumou]

I'm about to have an orasm each time Kirk makes this tapping at 0:57, one of the best intro ever

[metallica3084]

I love the tempo changes between solos!!!

[aniagniech]

ave m.......

[kiboy323]

sick gitar solo

[OMGLOOKiHaveNoName]

i wish kirk just left his solo alone, like how it was in the album version. all the wahwah makes it sound messy also

[XsweetChick17]

5 viewers miss right button.....

[twinzo123]

the almighty kings of metal ,

- METTALICA !! 

[falco1407]

i NEED tabs for this..

[bongowongowongo]

@falco1407

ultimate guitar

[falco1407]

@bongowongowongo its not on there i mean the solo... the whole impro he did

[athanasiadis24]

4:37 and on

[athanasiadis24]

4:37 is the meaning of life.

[btzgd]

If someone asked me who in my opinion was the most powerful and epic man in the world i would said JAMES HETFIELD!

[athanasiadis24]

Boner-roo lol

[zewek420]

metallica is pretty good, but they are a bunch of cry babies.

[ryat75]

@zewek420 hetfield once performed a week after he was essentially blown up by a pyro accident on stage...

[king7299]

@zewek420 pretty good? they invented a totally new genre of metal (thrash), inspired god knows how many bands that play their asses off today, endured more strife, hardships, and criticism then most bands could even handle, and they are still around making new music today. i realize that's just your opinion, but come on man

[TheMrmagic711]

I love this live version..:)

[tomglavinehof1]

Any band that gets BIG!?!?! HATERS will always think that they sold out. It just means that their music is that GOOD. METALLICA put METAL on the map people. CANT YOU JUST UNDERSTAND THAT?!?!?!

[ctclymore]

Kirk just flat out wails

[Mezey5]

O and as far as drugs go, i think they got into them during the 90s. That is prob why that stuff is so bad compared to their 80s stuff and Death Magnetic

[Mezey5]

I personally like Hetfield more then Hammet

[meakins8]

Kirk absolutely bosses the Les Paul in this video..

[ldrsh]

i think metallica today is more hard work and less drugs

[RageAgainstYourMothe]

ROCK THIS KIRK! ♥

[BennyMarkusCO]

what the.. fuck?!

did james down pick the part at 6:40 ? omfg..

he is, will always be, and will be after always, my god!

[28thMbHornet]

@BennyMarkusCO James is God!

[barnesdrb]

man, this is the best song ever by them... Seattle 89' was the best performance by far. BUT., I can't stand how James does that to Kirk's solo. I mean, it goes good and all, but I just don't like it being interrupted.. :[.

[vertrider12]

metallica was and still are awesome but the new album sucked it was just a wall of noise didnt sound like them there was a few good ones but other than that wasnt great best album gotta be S&M im not a hater im in love with metallica and this song kicks ass

[tillman40]

This like elevator music compared to the Binge & Purge days...

[M1R2A1N]

Mission Metallica:Complete!But i dont like the wah in this solo :/

[DaveMustaineOwns]

I seriously love Metallica, and this was a great performance and all, i mean i'm no one to criticize, but Kirk just made my favorite Metallica solo sound not as good.... i mean it was kinda cool and all but it was pointless shredding that took away from all the feeling of the already perfect solo. and before i get thrown to the dogs over this comment, again i say, i do love metallica, but every video i see of them live Kirk just speeds through the solo and we miss all that epic feeling of it

[rockalance]

@DaveMustaineOwns You're probably going to be thrown to the dogs over your name more than anything....

[55manoslis]

I really believe that this music is from other planet. Its so fucking awesome!!!!

[55manoslis]

I really believe that this music is from other planet. Its so fucking awsome!!!!

[sukieuppal]

what do they do when they got a bad ich and dont want to embarres them them selves

[sukieuppal]

this is a good song duh but just imagine them in the rocker

[falco1407]

I WANT THE TABS FOR THAT IMPROVISE ON THE SOLO OMFG ITS SOOOO OMG D: i love it!!

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

its just improv on pentatonic. NOTHING special about it at all.....really. there are much better improvs on youtube

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 you think i know that? geesh calm down god way to kill a mood just shut the fuck up i know damn

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

way to completely overreact to my comment. why are you telling me to calm down? I was calm, your the one who flipped

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 cause i hate it when people just go ahead and talk like people dont know nothing and cant back it up. just shut up nd dont even comment back

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

your not making any sense. I never said anything like that. and I can comment back to whatever the fuck I want, so suck it (:

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 nah thats ur job bitch

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

nah dude your still bitchin. and "I hate it when people just go ahead and talk like people don't kow nothing and cant back it up" well you haven't even replied back to what I ORIGINALLY said, so obviously you know nothing of music and can't back it up. Yeah, I know I'm pissing you off now, but your the one who overreacted like the little bitch you are, you asked for it. go play and post videos of you playing your damn cod and guitar hero loser

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 what do i have to back up?

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

wow your mental

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 no u r

[walshy0001]

@falco1407

good comeback

[falco1407]

@walshy0001 bet it is bitch lmao

[BandUncensored]

By the way, the worst croud ever. They do not deserve Metallica.

COME TO QUEBEC I PROMISE YOU THE NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE, METALLICA! :)

[BandUncensored]

wow...

[einsteinprb]

90% of the crowd seems to missed graveyard where the funeral supposed to be...

'Tards there's James Hatfield on the stage, almost begging you to give them some support. You should at least scream if your brain cells couldn't handle to stand and sing AT THE SAME TIME. (and happy birthday James Hatfield) :)

[ArchaelN123]

Robert Trujillo playing Cliff Burton's bass line. Ouch.

[Jamalemo92]

wow.. that crowd sucks

[rshero123]

wow T_T!

[Cottagerful]

I actually prefer his voice now to how it used to be. It's a lot fuller and rounded. I reckon they should re record their whole back catalogue. Like this if you think this is a good idea.

[XxMasTurCheeFxX]

@Cottagerful it would be interesting..

[ThrashMetalAJM]

@Cottagerful your right about the vocals but the history shouldnt be tampered with. u understand?

[1falconeye2]

@Cottagerful Excellent idea!

[Lorten1986]

@Cottagerful It just sounds different cause its a live recording 

[Shnerkenferter]

@Cottagerful Dumbest thing i've ever seen!!

[DeepSilent90]

@Cottagerful 100% agree with u. They should really re record it!!

[xKtulu]

@Cottagerful I agree man! I've been saying this for years. James has really learned how to sing properly.

[MsFranko17]

waaaoooo METALLICA ES LA LUZ!!!

[runescapespanish]

they've been updating all their songs, thats cool

[BoomBoy13]

The crowds dead...

[XxMasTurCheeFxX]

@BoomBoy13 Metallica killed 'em all.

[runescapespanish]

that song is like comfortably numb for pink floyd, just played with a real feeling inside

[FadeToBlackELI]

one of the greatest songs ever writen.

[xXsystemXx96]

what?? Metallica is the best they're god!..

or what Artist do you like??

[D34con]

This song gets me everytime. It gives me goosebumps! I want this to be played at my funeral. I heard that once and it just sent chills down my spine.

[williamtrevormcneil]

@korpimetal well.. maybe not "wrote" is the correct word, more like "dedicated" it toward Cliff, since Cliff did write a majority of that song

[MetallicACarpeDiem]

is there any way that someone could tab James' part of this song for me?? I like this version 100x better than the album!!

[cherryswishersweets]

thumbs up if you think metallica is the greatest band ever!!!! metallica will live on

[Brett121000]

@cherryswishersweets love the comment.......metallica is the phukkin BEST IN THE WORLD.Metallica will always live on through ppl like us........PHUK MEGADETH!!!!!!! I just wanted to throw that in

[Habs1009]

@Brett121000 megadeth is great too

[hadiroo]

Metallica Ruleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeee \m/

[dkswede]

saw them live in Copenhagen last summer. Man James still got the voice! Metallica forever!!

[DeathMetalShredd666]

HD your mothers vagina

[band77one]

love this song...best part is at 4:37

[accadacca100]

camera man don't seem to like Robert

[accadacca100]

did they write the lyrics in memory of cliff

[chainsawgears12]

@accadacca100 no dude this was written and released in 1984 cliff died in 1986

[accadacca100]

@chainsawgears12 Okay , thanks, the lyrics just seemed to be

[y2kcage]

Damn I live in Manchester and I wished I have seen this!!! I more likely heard Metallica play cause I dont live far away from the fields they play

[rick101572]

Fucking Awesome ! This song (never released as a single and with no airplay whatsoever) may possibly be The Greatest Song Ever Written .

[diamondstor2]

@rick101572 this song was released as a single, check wikipedia.

[MrNapoulou]

metallica rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Quillaathess]

AWESOME

[beckyscroggins]

Don't be a hater! That's exactly what this festival is NOT about. Bonnaroo is about love and peace and communal living at it's best. I was there...no fights, thefts, or crime. 175,000 people living together for 4 days...with amazing music to make it that much better! I was thrilled with the 2008 line-up. They haven't come close to matching it since. Metallica rocked...but it was too short. I had an unobscured view and I wouldn't have missed this show for anyhing!!

[TheVC7]

WOW THE BEST

[fjghp]

Its in Manchester TN not Nashville

[tallica4life1995]

@fjghp

its basically the same area

[Ragebailey]

@tallica4life1995

its not at all the same area. at all!!!

[Emanuel127]

I reallllllly like the end they do in live!

[DeadzProductionz]

i was there...at bonnaroo i live 3 blocks from it

[rokerboy117]

where's bonnaroo at?

[tallica4life1995]

@rokerboy117

nashville

[supernarutoraruto]

na q decir lejos unas de las mejores interpretaciones q e visto de fade to black

mui buen sonido

[Jojje797]

I love this song! METALLICA 4EVER!

[atens]

De las mejores interpretaciones de "Fade To Black" que he visto, a pesar de que sea muy reciente (2008). Thanks for uploading, MetalJungle!

[chrsyoungn]

Yea kirk.. nice and slow baby!

[Raadeftw]

6:42 -> 6:54 orgasm in my ear, man!

[dezenovepri]

very Nice!! great song..

[Mohamed636]

Lars keeps using the same fucking drum patterns live, when james sings the verse its like the exact drum pattern of The day that never comes

[crazybirddude121]

kirk nailed the solo

[JacobySchneidly]

whoever thinks metallica sold out can fucking burn in hell. best performance by kirk in 15 plus years that ive seen, James has the always present emotional vibe and lars is so into it. fuck all the haters METALLICA FOR LIFE

[cristiammiranda]

@JacobySchneidly it's true ,BUT this song is from the 80's.......what they had today?nothing decent.....ps i am a fan of metallica...the real metallica (before the 90's)

[1falconeye2]

@JacobySchneidly Metallica is so awesome> Next time they come around, I'm taking my kid and his friend to see them.

[agirard77]

shut up with that 10,000 ft mansion nonsense. it's not their fault they became so popular, which in turn, brought them excess money.

[SSSoM3]

Surely, this is great perfomance... keep rocking on, James!

[coolz788]

wow thats one bad ass looking bass

[veovideosxD]

Nice Permformance on the bass

[ditto3378]

In the beginning you can tell kirk has soul, almost as if this took place before they sold out

[tmwnat]

I wonder if they could ever write songs like this again now that they live in their 10,000 square foot mansions...

[Vitorpaulo3]

Metallica - The day that never Comes

[gingerninja7246]

the sound that Kirk gets out of his guitar in the intro is just EPIC

[KalishAlexander]

As for me i like both Unforgives, Wherever I May Roam and Nothing Else Matters

[BallonkaSwe]

I guess u mean from the black album?

Dont u like sandman and sad?

[KalishAlexander]

Of course i like those songs, and also Fade to black, One, Turn the page, the outlaw torn, fuel and a lot of others, i just named my most favourite, for example, l just began to learn how to play Nothing Else Matters on acoustic gitar, then i'll try to learn Fade To Black. Hopefully i will be able to play them on my friend's birthday in may.

[BallonkaSwe]

Yeah i know how to play Nothing and just learned to play Fade. Beutiful songs!

[felixshark]

Great song one of the best of metallica!

[dunterd]

oh god this is so calming at the start

[HDeathknight]

480x360 is not HD quality

[WORLDWaR358]

James has a pretty sexy guitar there

[altbraves100]

fade to black is the greatest metallica song ever made.... metallica is the most important band of all time... they brought metal back to its tracks and metallica led the way.... i saw them in concert back in 08 and there were just fantastic and i will do anything to see them again..

[azziz911]

Fade to Black is great, but definitely not the best Metallica song.

[altbraves100]

well what you think is there greatest song?

[azziz911]

They're all great. Maybe something off of ... And Justice For All. To Live Is To Die is great. And so is One. And Blackened.

[altbraves100]

to live is to die is good so is one and blackened. if it's not fade to black it would probably be one. there is no other song like one if you were to take fade to black out. i think the best song to hear live would prob be creeping death because that pumps everybody up... especially that heavy part after the solo..

[azziz911]

I totally agree. Creeping Death NEVER gets boring. I ALWAYS sing the part after the solo. A great way to start the day IMO :D

[altbraves100]

yeah that song and for whom the bell tolls is awesome live that makes everybody wanna punch each other lol. i always label that song by the initials FWTBT and me and my friend always pronounce FWTBT how its spelled its pretty funny to say maybe it can be a national trend now since youtube is nationwide/worldwide

[minorthreat141]

they opened with creeping death at this show :D

[flipper1669]

this performance makes me melt..

[UnbelievablePoznan]

The best concert ever!!! Bonnaroooooooooooooooooooo!

[MimiBitch23]

OH MY GADD.!

metallica is absolutley the best!!

iDGAF what anybody says;)

[rockryan100]

James voice is in ship-shape!

[314isabeast]

i know watch him 2 years ago the 06 korea tour he sounds like shit but here hes badass!

[AshFromCan]

james looks so happy when he performs his music
