Metallica - Ride The Lightning - Live 20th April '86

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

@Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY WHAT?? BEACH BOYS WELL FUCK YOU

[pablocio2]

0:06 Dave mustaine!

[blackmustang728]

this is the real metallica

[lilkk711]

Damn, they were fast

[somelonelymusician]

AOUUHHHHHHHHHHHH, RIDE DI LIGHTNEN!

[skiiddo]

Am I the only one who thinks this is better than Seattle '89? I loved James' voice in the Ride/Puppets era more than in the Justice tour, although his voice was badass in the late 80s, there was a sharpness to his voice around 84-87 that was just awesome.

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

Metallica roks \m/--\m/

[Jermdude34]

hey this was on 420 O.o

[CaptainAustus]

@JackMichener1999 yeah, but i doubt there is gonna be someone as good as cliff again

[SerkantKnight]

Shitty quality, so fucking what? best performance ever.

[Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY]

@SerkantKnight well its shitty quality cuz it was 1986 and was taped about 25 years sgo. But yeah, who gives a shit...I like it like this cuz the sound is nice and heavy. Fuckin rocks.

[123savesome4me]

hell ya 420

[81RacOOn]

days like this will never come back man .. cant believe that there are no more band like this now ..

[Iceozo1]

@81RacOOn No more bands like that? Do you even look below the surface of music? I can name dozens of bands still playing amazing stuff.

[81RacOOn]

@Iceozo1 name it then .. yes , i dont look below surface music .. i only look at the top ones .

[Iceozo1]

@81RacOOn *Ahem* Opeth, Septic Flesh, Immortal, Immolation, Wintersun, Katatonia, Deathspell Omega, Bolt Thrower, Agalloch. All of these bands release amazing albums year after year and they play enjoyable energetic live shows.

[81RacOOn]

@Iceozo1 seriously , i dont know any of these guy .. are they really good ??

[Iceozo1]

@81RacOOn Yes they are all amazing. You gotta be a fan of death or black metal as most of the bands I listed come under them. Except for Katatonia, they're doom metal.

[81RacOOn]

@Iceozo1 good thank u .. i ll try to listen to them ..

[Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY]

@Iceozo1 well see thar be your problem. Very few "normal" people listen to black metal. That shits fucking retarded and the vocals make them sound like they have herpies in the throat. How do you even listen to that shit withou feeling wierd?

[Iceozo1]

@Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY Well see that's where you're wrong, you're also closed minded and ignorant. Lots of people who are normal listen to black metal, it is extremely atmospheric and emotional music, Immortal's music is that cold it can make me feel like I've been abandoned on an ice cold mountain in Norway. That's how good it can get,. Granted I don't really explore the sub genre much cause it doesn't take my fancy but it can be really good.

What do you listen to?

[Mr1BILLYBILLYBILLY]

@Iceozo1 like you I don't just listen to the top and when I do, I have quite a variety like Metallica, Queen, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Charlie Daniels, the Clash, Weezer, Bob Marley, even the Beach Boys. As far as non-mainstream goes...I listen to UK metal bands like Sonata Arctica, Axenstar, and Black Majesty. I sometimes listen American bands like Soilwork and even Kalmah. But I try to distance myself from Kalmah.

[moosebeard4]

@Iceozo1 sonata artica are from finland!!!

[Iceozo1]

@moosebeard4 Psst I didn't list Sonata Artica. :P 

[cezar40]

i can't imagine how nowadays metal would sound if metallica hadn't existed... bleahhh!

[NuKEm92]

CLIFF BURTON!!!!!!! \m/><\m/

[downvan77]

Had tickets for this tour opening for Ozzy in the fall of 86 in Providence RI' - needless to say the opening band changed. Sucked so bad! God bless Cliff Burton!

[no0neX]

gold times of metallica..

[ericherrera8]

Do you hear Clif screaming DIEE!!!! and AARRGHH!! when James sings "I don't want to die" hahah that's fucking awsome

[maxopt1]

Хаммет красава соло лабает не по детски

[TheGuyWhoFlies]

That buzzing is really annoying with headphones on -.-

[ohgoditsjames94]

@TheGuyWhoFlies Get a pair of Bose ear phones, £100 mind you but best thing I've ever bought, lasted me a year nearly, the sound quality is amazing, the bass sounds awesome, everything sounds clear, and everything is loud.:D

[guruvag]

i'd kill to be back then at this gig

[keyable]

love this song >:)



[andrewds98]

try to imagine something for me please and like if its epic

cliff alive for seattle '89

[niqoboss]

@andrewds98 the best metallica concert EVER

[laesponjaloca123]

Wow, el verdadero Metallica

[TheBadonkadonky]

[nastybthesequel]

[windriderrr]

@LuchoMazzeo Lol, no way, sorry. Watch closely.

[kuru93]

lolz for james, he's just hair XD

[1k098]

1986- a kick ass year!!!

[bumblebee5569]

this was jason right?

[windriderrr]

@bumblebee5569 Nope, Cliff here. Jason plays with a pick, and you can see Cliff's unique way of playing with all his 4 right fingers in that video.

[metali10]

Jame's voice got deeper as from the early 80's to mid-late 80's when he got older and matured.

[123savesome4me]

420 hell ya

[cakejesgozers]

i dont see metallica, i see hair.

We want old metallica back :p

[00000sebas0000]

R.I.P cliff butron

[higuy6211]

Kirk sure loves his guitars with floyd rose bridges. i personally cant stand them >_>

[jhonnyrest]

Oh my fucking satan! Cliff's spirit never will die!

[TheMola114]

[malv8]

CLIFFFFFFFFFFFF

[metallica1001fan]

CLIFF DIED IN MY COUNTRY! DAMN IT

[lilbigmac98]

@metallica1001fan That sucks...

[metallica1001fan]

@lilbigmac98 i know :(

[klb2000000]

fucking fart noises during the freaking awesome solo ! FUCK !!!!

[KillaRock881]

Metallica HAD the best bass players. Cliff & Jason? Fuckin heart & soul, man

RIP Cliff

[ilpazzinista]

@KillaRock881 cliff was powerful than jason to play bass guitar?

[69ofdoom]

@KillaRock881 You should check out some of Rob Trujillo's work with Ozzy Osbourne.

[artem6000]

@KillaRock881 what do u have against rob? the guys a machine

[KillaRock881]

@artem6000 nothing really man. i meant it more as praise to jason and cliff, than anything negative. it is just that in my opinion metallica has fallen so far over the years, that i suppose i hold it against rob & kirk that I dislike new jason and new lars so much.

thumbs up to you for not being an internet douche.

rock on

[artem6000]

@KillaRock881 well if u feel like that theres nothing really i can say, but death magnetic is hella close to black album(which i consider the worst of the first five) if you look at each song individually theyre all different with new riffs, structures and styles and each song is very well written....but thats my opinion ....i mean just look All Nightmare Long...thats classic metallica right there

[KillaRock881]

@artem6000 agreed the new album was WAYYYYY fuckin better than the few before. i dont know if it is just me getting older, or alcohol & youtube commenting being a bad combo, but try as they might, i dont know if they can ever erase the bad taste in my mouth from certain things.

did you ever see hetfield diss layne staley and get barraged by water bottles? i couldnt have said it better myself.

and you dont have to try to change my mind.  i just appreciate the interesting opposing view point

[artem6000]

@KillaRock881 no i never saw that, but from what ive seen in the past 3 minutes james was friends with jerry something who was giving layne a hard time about his use of drugs, so idk.... but whatever man if the fans dont support their artist in the time of need then theyre not really fans so even if they did a few fucked up things like that im not gonna hold it against them

[mrzayeb]

@KillaRock88thank you for capitalizing the had i miss jason

[robbyclaus]

@KillaRock881 Cliff ;)

[TheAngie3991]

[ReVVVern]

[cheezeontoast4]

its worth watching just to see Cliff and James headbanging. those were the days. No wonder James got neck problems

[666fabricio]

[lgcmetallica]

[BodomRocker1]

@lgcmetallica hahaha fuck no!!!!

[AlexxAntiClockWise]

Oh my fuckin' god that's fast!

[FroZenCyanide]

[mustasch4life]

[Bofur4]

[Randyrhoads4lyfe]

So freaking heavy back then!!!!!!!

[FastEddie718]

i love the intro to the song. i think it sounds a lot better in this version, when they play the song faster than they do now.

[TKDJohnnie]

the greatest bassist this world ever seen!

[poncho12]

[Vexer333]

[Danjoker619]

[Urine48]

RIDE THE FUCKING LIGHTNING!!!!!!!11

[runtwer]

[RandomoVideos]

[xavi9066]

Kirk needs to unglue his foot from the wah pedal during the solo. :|

[tynniking]

and you need to get a life!

[xavi9066]

responding to a one month old comment? looks like you have a fulfilling life too. :P

[Schlippan]

this live recording is so amazing I'm almost crying

[eze9219]

METALLICA is the best band foreever

They kick assss werhever they go!!!!!

[Yoanrockandroll]

I hate Kirk...

[maizik2]

Dave Mustane was better, but Kirk so good

[alelovesmickey]

mustaine

[sam11896]

cliff man, good shit right there. RIP you bad ass mother fucker

[superninjapirate3000]

a fight to the death between james and his hair throughout the performance

[franciousthebulldog]

all i can say is  FUCK YEA!!

[Pannunzio27Juve4life]

after the black album they ran low on ideas** Perhapps?

[jasmmmm]

No, they went in a different musical direction. While i didn't care for a lot of what ended up on Load and ReLoad, i still respected the band for trying something different, which is more than i can say for a lot of bands out there.

[ChaplainDMK]

@jasmmmm

Most people wouldnt mind of the Black Album was what it was, just if they kept themselfs underground-ish. Like they were with Master

[tynniking]

i think that they just wanted to go higher than normal small gigs and waanted massive crowds just like every other rocker out their... i dont know anyone who wouldnt be famous!!

[ChaplainDMK]

@tynniking

They already had huge gigs since Ride the Lighting, 10k plus certainly...

[Pannunzio27Juve4life]

HOW THE FUCKK IS JUSTICE A WEAK ALBUM.. UUR FUCKKEDD.. if u dont like that album dont even listen to metallica.. ur straight up fucked if u dont like justice..they might have started running low on ideas after that album ..bbut cmon..justice is a weak album?? im actually rattled someone would say that.

[davinic94]

SO FAST! STAY METALLLL

[MetallicSlynter333]

Stop talking about dave mustaine on a fuckin metallica vid, without dave leaving, there would be no megadeth and metallica wouldnt be as good as they are today.

[Dirvance]

don't get salty cause Mustaine had a huge part in this song. He basically showed them how to play thrash metal and after he was gone they slowly moved away from it....why? Cause they ran out of his ideas

[metallicaddicto]

dude, you know which song started the thrash metal time? Hit the light, youknow who and when this song was created?..... Who showed who how to play thrash?

[salvador613]

Ahm, the song that started the trash metal time was Stone cold crazy by queen, you know... :)

[feliperippel]

@salvador613 I am a huge Queen fan, so I got to say they were never thrash. Stone Cold Crazy is just a happy song of them that Metallica covered in an crazy angry style.

It's hard to say wich was the first thrash band, 'cause it was a worldwide movement. In Brazil, you have Sepultura; in German, Destruction and Kreator; in America, Metallica and Slayer... all happening at the same time

[Smertyin092]

They ran out of ideas after Mustaine had left? You are right, Master of Puppets and Justice for all are the weakest metal albums....

[KingNothingify]

@Dirvance um. no. mustaine showed them the spider chord and thats pretty much it. They knew pretty damn well howw to play thrash.

[WizzardOfGlue]

@Dirvance they never run out of ideas

[chestus12]

@Dirvance all mustaine wrote was the damn spider chord riff, the other riffs and the solos are all the band's work. Huge part my ass

[IMBACHABRI]

@chestus12 he did 2 riffs.Spider chord and intro riff i think.

[chaosis23]

HOLY SHIT FAST!!!!

[erikouwehand]

the riffs are from dave mustaine

[michilios01]

just the spider riff

[Torchbearer666]

"Ride the Lightning" Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Dave Mustaine 6:37

[Phant0mAssass1n]

dumbass!

[Phant0mAssass1n]

lol dude fucking poser much?

[Phant0mAssass1n]

just the riffs dude. not the whole song

[penefeodemierda]

Actually he didnt, Kirk wrote the solo and Dave the Riffs, do some research before embarrassing yourself.

[cliffthelightning]

@penefeodemierda he didn't there is footage of metallica playing RTL with mustaine

[penefeodemierda]

@cliffthelightning what? give me a link, cuz as far as I know Dave was kicked from the band long before RTL was out. Id love to see that happen tho.

[penefeodemierda]

your beloved dave mustaine, being as kickass as he is, would shove that lovely fleurdelaurier up your ass, so STFU.

Not to mention he didnt write the whole song...

[FINPutkonen]

he didnt write the song he co-wrote it ....

[RALP2496]

o yhea, this is a good song suck this megadeth¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
