@Dylanisa_BasketCase When that riff comes it's like a fucking atomb bomb falling in a beautiful place, which ties pretty well with the lyrics. Also, that intro is so majestic and classical, Cliff was a genius. He always composed great stuff. Not to mention the rest of the song, with that beautiful guitar harmony in the solo and the iconic double bass part. Simply one of their greatest tracks.
@@MortalPhantomYT 6 Ride the lightning songs were written by 1983, the album was recorded in 1984 only Trapped Under Ice and Escape were written in 1984. Keep in mind the vast majority of Kill 'Em All was written in 1981 and early 1982.
James needs to sing like this on albums man he’s wasting this brutal gritty voice it’d be so fresh and insane if they came out with an album where he used this type of singing
@@name-cp9zsand the thing is that he can INDEED absolutely fucking kill it with his new vocals if he gave it a shot within a new album or new song but idk why he doesn’t do it last time he sounded brutal in an album is probably spit out the bone
with an absolute 2023 audience standing there recording rather than engaging with the band. ban the phones at shows and get back the energy we used to know at these shows!
@@kasperrieberg3495 At his age, with all the years he’s been playing. In addition with all the flack he gets, I’d say so. I think his live performances have been really improving, since Death Magnetic.
i was just listening this song 10 minutes ago, and i wondered how good it would sound live today, and you release it 7 mins ago 😂. thank you guys for your energy ❤
i literally went "OH SHIT!" when i heard the intro tape to fight fire with fire! i was expecting blackened or battery and my head just exploded at the start of the performance! this was definitely the highlight for night 2 in LA!
For those of us who are struggling and a bit down but not out, the part of "FIGHT...FIGHT...FIGHT!" gives me goosebumps and so much motivation to keep pushing and keep fighting! Don't give up! Thanks always, Metallica!
I remember seeing James start the riff and only getting more hyped as it went on! A top 10 Metallica song for me since the day I heard it. A night to remember for years to come 😩🙏🤘🏽
OH SHIT, didn't they play this the first time in years withtout those stops which James and Kirk do at the beginning? He played the riff as it supposed to be, at that age, with that speed and precision... HOLY FUCKING GOD, THAT'S FUCKING COOL
@@giratina5644 yeah, i mean .. whatever way he does it now, he is still the rhythm guitar god and my favourite musician ever.. he can play it whatever way he wants to 😃
Sometimes I still can't believe that I was there that night. Greatest concert experience of my life-- pretty much a religious experience for me. Rock on gentlemen-- we are Metallica!!!
KIRK HAMMETT NAILED THE FUCKING SOLO AND BOTH JAMES AND KIRK NAILED THE FUCKING HARMONY BRO THIS IS THE BEST FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE LIVE PERFORMANCE EVERRR LIKE THE INTRO THE LIGHTS THE CROWD EVERYTHINGGGG!!!!!!!
I feel like I say this with every video, but that voice! That fucking voice! James is a god. So grateful for all these live videos. Especially when you see them live, the videos of that show are such a great memento.
the excitement on my face when they played this song was beyond what my face could handle. Fight fire with fire is one of my top songs from metallica of all time🤘
I dont care what anyone says For Metallica to be jamming since 1982 and these guys are pushing 60 years old and rocks the god damn house every time, they have my utmost respect. Kirk, james, Lars, Rob.....you guys are the best ❤
Ive always preferred the harmonizing guitar solo live to the album version because its literally just the bass carrying the rhythm along. The image that always pop up in my head during that part is two dragons of lightning dancing (the harmonizing guitars). The drums are the loud boom of thunder you hear during the dance and while all this ensuing chaos, a mage, in this case the bassist, is in the background orchestrating and controlling the storm of two dragons of lightning. The live version is so badass.
Bro ..I was in the mid section of seats ..great seats ..I sang my lungs out in every song ..banged my head ..specially the old songs …y go to a concert if u ain’t got that energy
Blackened will always be a tune and Battery has my heart, but man Fight Fire with Fire is just an absolute beast of a tune and they absolutely kill it here!
HOLYYY FUCKK kirk on fire, james playing the first riff without stopping, lars on a double pedal sounding badass!!! Awesome! I will probably never see them live bc im from central america but thank god for RUclips
I don’t know what Lars has done for this tour but he is a massive improvement! He’s lost a bit of weight and he has a look of hunger and an aggressive want to be a badass again. Good for him! ❤
@@Hoscitt they likely do some proper mixing in post, sure, but Lars sounds great live. I've seen them live 10 times. Quit being Lars a hater. It's so old and tired.
@@AlienFrequency I'm not a Lars hater at all - I'm a 35 year fan of the band! Just saying all of these M72 vids are heavily fixed (which is their perogative), there are noticeable differences between fan shot vids and official. Drums, vocals and guitars
Classic heavy era song..the perfect combo..classical intro-heavy downpickin combined with the pyro and Lars drummin makes this song one of their Best..and after 40+years still kicks a lot of ass and will continue to do so for many years down the road..not to mention the duo solo Papa Het and Kirk from the middle is the best🤘🤘 glad to see u guys in full force..one of a kind
THE HARMONIZED PART NEVER FAILS TO GIVE ME CHILLS
我也
i swear this was the best they ever played it
Thanks for typing this in all caps so we could see how serious you are 🙄
@@Ih8liarsandusers mad over all caps is insane 😅😅
Yep. I get chills just thinking about that part.
One of the most iconic intros in a metal album, EVER.

I just always wished they'd play the intro live instead of a recording.
Hell yeah!
And they could still beat it with Battery! ❤🤘👍🏻
Tho Blackened is absolutely ubbeatable.
@@inspectorbudget Yeah with the acoustic guitars would be awesome, like James does in Fade To Black now.
Fuck yeah!🤘
This Song is nearly 40 years old… and the Performance is still FIIIRREEE🔥
To begin whipping dance of the dead!!!! Wait, wrong song 😂🤘🏻

Wrong album too!
is more than 40 years old lol

James sounds relaxed yet aggressive. Love to see it.
Edit: Kirk with that divebomb after the solo was sick!
And james has a new neck tattoo!
Completely 🎉sick. Kirk was the right man for the job no matter what others may say.

@@ShastaBean sad but true.. 😢
Every song of theirs is better live it’s incredible
@@dominiccostellic3917😮, ,
Haters can suck it. Lars with the double bass flying. Incredible performance from all of them.
Lars has been great since 2016 and only kept getting better since to the point, where he performs spot on.
another great performance was Berlin 2006
Should we be impressed that he’s finally playing his own song the right way ?

@@ghostlandgrand64
Lombardo is roughly the same age
Best night of my life. Moshing with aquaman and Lars hit every single double kick; for those doubting.
That tape intro is killer!
Goosebumps.
How can we find it
@@shivyadav-fy2fgI love the tape intro they use for battery 😂 they should have done it like that on the album
Love the mini intros they've been doing during the tour, not to mention how tight they played this banger!
Also known as the oxygen mask breaks for the grampas.
@mikkomalli69 badass oxygen masks, then
these are also done because the drum kit gets moved to a different part of the stege...4 positions total during the concert since its a ring shape
@@migz2195 Umm, no. There are four kits that pop up one at a time.
@mikkomalli69 sure whatever lols. Still position of kit relative to stage gets changed easier just to say moved.
Ou, Soooooooo Gooood!!!!!!
Lars on FIIIIREEREE!!!
The fire around lars while hes doing the double kick is so damn badass
i was just listening this song 10 minutes ago, and i wondered how good it would sound live today, and you release it 7 mins ago 😂. thank you guys for your energy ❤
Same bro
I was there too
@@urielemiliodesantiago6137did they open with this??
No they didn't sadly
Hearing the first :45 even gave me chills. This song needs to be played more live.
It’s just incredible how Metallica can be that good at their 60’s , just total respect.
i literally went "OH SHIT!" when i heard the intro tape to fight fire with fire! i was expecting blackened or battery and my head just exploded at the start of the performance! this was definitely the highlight for night 2 in LA!
Just had the same experience in Detroit. Was waiting for Blackened and then i heard thet intro and was like ohhhhgg shiiiiiit
oh my god man, same. it was unreal, i never thought id hear this song live
For those of us who are struggling and a bit down but not out, the part of "FIGHT...FIGHT...FIGHT!" gives me goosebumps and so much motivation to keep pushing and keep fighting! Don't give up! Thanks always, Metallica!
absolute banger, love Metallica and the performance
never thought I'd hear Lars play that double kick pattern again, proud of you Lars!
Soooo goood!
Edit, baby, edit 🤓
@@MisQot why would they edit him missing one here or there or losing tempo
@@callumbrady88so you would think its real 😆

This is absolutely insane! They went all out on this one!
OH SHIT, didn't they play this the first time in years withtout those stops which James and Kirk do at the beginning? He played the riff as it supposed to be, at that age, with that speed and precision... HOLY FUCKING GOD, THAT'S FUCKING COOL
I'll even had that I haven't seen them lock that fast into the harmony !
Thank you guys !
I noticed the same, and it's awesome, same as studio version James does not stop the riff...
He didn't play notes between these three powerchords. Still impressive though
@@krystofodehnal9448just for the intro. He does for the rest of the song
@@giratina5644 yeah, i mean .. whatever way he does it now, he is still the rhythm guitar god and my favourite musician ever.. he can play it whatever way he wants to 😃
I went absolutely crazy when I heard the intro. One of the best metallica shows of my life 🤘🏼
Greatest Metallica song ever. So happy this is back in the set for this show
first they play the battery interlude and now the stops at the beginning, they just keep on getting better and better LOVE METALLICA🙏🙏
I wish I was there! This song is simply perfect, Metallica at its finest.
They play this so fast and accurate it’s mind-blowing. Still pound for pound the best live band around.
Like if they were playing it for the last 40 years! 😬
Oustanding performance 🤘🏽🔥
Might be in my top 3 performances of this ever. They fuckin killed it. James sounds good as hell here.
Testament
NJ and CA stills with the best audio mixing.
The sound production is first class - props to the audio engineers who captured this
Sometimes I still can't believe that I was there that night. Greatest concert experience of my life-- pretty much a religious experience for me. Rock on gentlemen-- we are Metallica!!!
One of the best songs ever made! 🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite songs by an amazing band 🙏
Kreator
That into gets me every time. And then bam!! Right in the face with the metal onslaught.
Greatest thrash metal song of all time.
When James is looking at Kirk, he is such full of energy and drives Kirk on to nail the solo and harmonics on every note, it is amazing. 😍
Looks very menacingly at Kirk! )))
3:22 is so legendary
I can’t believe their current performance level
God bless ‘em all
Awesome harmonies and bouble bass!
I was in shock when the intro started. What a fantastic addition to the setlist!🤘🏻 thank you for two awesome nights!

This was the first Metallica album I bought age 14/15. The intro to this song made me a Metallica fan for life.
Me too 🤟
same here!! Metal Gods!!
Same, I was 13 when I bought my RTL CD and thank fuck I did

The drums are the loud boom of thunder you hear during the dance and while all this ensuing chaos, a mage, in this case the bassist, is in the background orchestrating and controlling the storm of two dragons of lightning.
The live version is so badass.
I love your brilliant imagery describing the dragons! I always see imagery in my head from music too. Thanks for sharing!
I love that new(ish?) beginning before the album intro. And then James’ opening riff. Intense.
What a band ,still crushing this Thrash classic 🔥🔥🔥
Bro ..I was in the mid section of seats ..great seats ..I sang my lungs out in every song ..banged my head ..specially the old songs …y go to a concert if u ain’t got that energy
This was so badass in person, so hyped they uploaded this one
I am just amazed at how they can still play these thrashy songs at 60 years old
I was ecstatic when I heard this song. I was there, and this song live is absolute fire 🔥
I was there too, fking absolutely awesome
That was FAR better than I expected it to be !!!!
That was awesome, love that these golden oldies are still being played. The Gods are laughing!
I was there! Lars ACTUALLY nailed it!!!
3:55 amazing harmony \m/
4:25 how about that dive bomb from Kirk 😳😳😳
The Best of The Best number one... 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was there and realizing what was coming up with that intro was simply unreal. Everyone went absolutely bananas
Nothing but respect for this band.
STILL BRINGING THE HEAT!!
40 years and just insane!! 🔥🤘🏻
Lars still throwing down the double bass, these guys are LEGENDARY… FUCK YES!!!!
Can’t believe they hit the harmonized part so perfectly
I was there, and it was glorious...
Fucking HELL! James sounding MORE aggressive and way better than many of the 80s performances. It's so great to see them in top shape these days
Man those live videos are killing it every time. Thank you Metallica!
They need to play this song more often
Sounds great, 60 years old and still got it. Can’t complain at all
When Metallica kick the new generation ass on the icon long life to metallica
totally perfect! insane double bass drumming I think!
Long live METALLICA!!!!!!
They are amazing!⚡️⚡️🎸🎸💖
Man, it always makes me so happy hearing Rob nail that classic bass lick at 3:24 before the solo 🤘🤘
I love that. Cliff knew how to spice up these songs
Faaacts 🤘
I was there that night and went crazy when I heard the intro- even at 60 theyre still kicking ass!!! That night had all ride the lightning
O Lars tá insano no pedal dublo!! Incrível demais!!! 🇧🇷
I was at both of these shows. Metallica rocks!
Blackened will always be a tune and Battery has my heart, but man Fight Fire with Fire is just an absolute beast of a tune and they absolutely kill it here!

One of the hardest opening tracks and I was there to witness it. 😭
Man, they sound strong!
I had to watch it twice to really be sure i was not dreaming. And then, i watched it 2 more times for my pleasure.
James vocals are flawless still after all these years
🤘⚡🤘
39年を経ても色褪せない名曲。そして何よりこのタイトな演奏!!
