Great reaction. Thanks for posting. Metallica played with such ferocity from about 1986 to 1991 or so, that I would have never believed it if it weren't for the fact that their shows were recorded.
That show was the top of fucking metal history!!! You should do the four horseman, live 92’ in San Diego, Lars change drums kit in the middle of the song it’s a great one.
I was at this show at 21yo. Actually this was filmed over 2 nights in Seattle. Back in the day when we would have to go stand in line at a ticketmaster location to buy tickets, the 1st show (Fri) sold out in less than 15mins. So they immediately scheduled another show for the next day, Saturday. That show also sold out in a ridiculously short period of time. Like 20mins. Something like that. A lot of us went to both shows. To this day, this was the most electric and intense show I've ever seen. The energy exchange between us and Metallica still gives me chills. Fun fact. Even with the boom camera and al the other cameras and recording equipment there, the fire Marshal Almost didn't let Metallica play. The fire Marshal deemed us an unsafe crowd. Even before Metallica ever took the stage. What caused this was approx 2,000 metalheads that were in the back upper deck decided they wanted to be on the floor. So they all rushed the floor and disappeared into the crowd on the floor. Fire Marshal was worried about security and the safety of the band. I believe Metallica made a donation to the fireman's ball or something. Doesn't really matter. It delayed Metallica's show about 20mins. Which only built the anticipation for us fans. What followed, after they took the stage was nothing short of epic and legendary. As you can see from the video. And the video really doesn't do the show justice, in comparison to being there in the middle of what felt like barely controlled chaos. If James would've said the word, we would've torn Seattle down to the ground with our bare hands. It, to this day, is one of the best nights of my life. I am So fucking grateful I had a chance to be there for the show. I still get chills watching the show. It's such a blast to see so many people in the crowd that I knew. A few of them Im still tight with to this day. Another great live show to check out is Lamb of God, live at Download 2007. It may be 2009. Either way, they'll blow your mind also. Incredible show by elite musicians.
@@whitwatlington7658 I heard later he was there, but I never saw him. Honestly, if he was there, I'm surprised that he wasn't in any of the crowd shots. One of the last shows I saw that there wasn't a security guard every 10ft or camera phones in front of everybody's faces. The 80s and early 90s was an incredible time for concerts. After that, too much security changed the atmosphere for the fans. In my opinion. Hell. I paid $17.50/ea for my tickets to both nights. Now days, you can't see Metallica or any big name headliner for under $175, it seems. GA floor tickets, like $350 and up. It's too bad. Really sucks for regular working class fans.
About this song. The theme of the song revolves around the San Francisco thrash scene of the 1980s. The most prominent club played by Metallica was the Old Waldorf located at 444 Battery Street in downtown San Francsico. The tone of the song is one of familial ties and the positive release of energy through the common interest of metal. The lyric "Cannot kill the family, Battery is found in me" is a statement that while society at large doesn't understand the scene, those within it (i.e. "the family") will fiercely defend it as a show of solidarity against the glam scene that was popular in the Los Angeles area. (I got this from their web page)
Thee Most Amazing show I've ever been to. The atmosphere was Electric! Bordering on a Riot the entire show. Check out Creeping Death from this show. Incredible!!!
Hi friends. Metallica plays songs sometimes like 30% faster live. Part of its adrenaline, but I think I remember James saying something about speeding up their set so they could play more songs too? Next Metallica song you do, afterwards pull up the studio version and listen to a minute of it. It’s very different.
“How is he moving his limbs that quickly?!” Cocaine is a helluva drug😅 I would really love to recommend a couple others from this show The Thing That Should Not Be Breadfan.
Saw Cliff on bass with Metallica in 1986, classic lineup and great concert. Then 1988 and 1989 with Jason on bass. These concerts were in Southern California. 🤘🎸
I had to watch the video to the end - There was a very cool joke Lars was backstage. A very similar situation was with Angus Young, in the Rocker video - jewellery collection official video, there he was also so exhausted that he had to go backstage and drink water and breathe with an oxygen mask right during the song at the concert, then they put him on the head of the security guard and let him into the audience. I think this is the best return to my work, Angus is a unique musician.
Nice to see you listening and having fun to the masters METALLICA !!!! (but "Amanda" ... never cut a song again run HAHA it's brutal !!!! AHAHA (I say this with great sympathie ! (It's not a drama thankfully ^^ ; ) Thanks for your moment ! Very cool ;) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guillaume Karkass aka "ASILE OBSCENE".
Strange place for this sort of comment or opinion, but this song and main riff is exactly why i prefer my thrash riffs with fast intense aggressive chord playing as opposed to more lead focused thrash. Not that lead focused thrash riffs cant be cool but they never have the same PUNCH and kick in the face like fast power chords do. More growl and UGHH to them. Just a different energy. I still dont count myself as a true Metallica fan since i feel like i only really enjoy 10 of their songs (if that). But the songs I do enjoy I actually LOVE whole heartedly. The main riff in Fight fire with Fire after the acoustic intro has engraved itself into my very being and influences all my guitar playing. I love in thrash when a song just starts with a BAM and it just takes off with that DUKA DUKA DUKA circle pit beat (for a lack of a better way to describe that drum beat). Resonates with me like very little else does. Thank you metallica for creating the blue print for so much modern day hardcore and crossover bands. Metallica gets it. Or at least they did 😅
Comments on this live clip often reference cocaine as the reason for the energy; I think that's garbage. It's easy to claim drugs when you see someone at the top of their physical game and you have no concept of how that could be done or what it feels like. Narcotics make you erratic and inconsistent in performance, especially as the night goes on (this tune is the closer). This concert is four young men in their mid-20's physical prime who've been playing the same high energy two hour set every night for months, and the body adapts, any performer or athlete can tell you. They're just crushing it with the power of youth, technique and skill. Proud to have seen this tour!
I bought Master of the Puppets album when i was younger, and this song wasn't on it 🤔when i asked the sales person .. why ? they said Battery not included 😆😂
Great concert , I've seen them before. Best 4 me was 1st van Halen monster of rock. But u miss the build up to the song . I suggest you listen to it in ur spare time to get a better understanding of their versatility. But up to u.
God l like, Next reaction VOB, ENTER SADNMAN cover by METALLICA Live concer in de Rennes France 2021. And they have a concert in America in August 2023
First song on Master Of Puppets, back when the Met in Metallica meant metal, If you thing Lars is a fast drummer watch any Slayer video with original drummer Dave Lombardo, he is way way better than lars ever was or will be, or even faster watch any Slaughter To Prevail video, that drummer is crazy talented
![Metallica - Battery [Live In Seattle '89] (2018 Remastered) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions](/img/1.gif)
This is the best concert in history
The most concert of all time
@@fettuccine9896 the most what?
Was there,...13 years old😎🤘
No the best Concert in history is Journey live in Houston 1981
I'd say their best two shows are moscow 91 and metal hammer festival 85 in Germany. This one is right after those two 😁
James: Hey Lars, how many bpm tonite
Lars : Yes
I don't give a damn if he chopped his dinner on a mirror before the show it was fuckin brilliant 😂🥁🎸🦑🎤🥞👉🏾
Cliff would be proud.
@@mztweety1374just what i thought when she ask how is he playing like that.
Btw your comment is brilliant.
Great reaction. Thanks for posting. Metallica played with such ferocity from about 1986 to 1991 or so, that I would have never believed it if it weren't for the fact that their shows were recorded.
yep, then they were all castrated and lost all their aggression and intensity. so sad.
I still can't understand why Energizer hasn't pay whatever they ask for having this song on their advertisement
😂
I heard something about Duracell already having a deal with them, but it might be a rumor.
Energizer couldn't keep up with the energy requirements.
That show was the top of fucking metal history!!! You should do the four horseman, live 92’ in San Diego, Lars change drums kit in the middle of the song it’s a great one.
And this shit was right after 2 hours of pure destruction. The stamina and testosterone on these guys that day... and cocaine 😆
not jasons or james.. in that time i think kirk or lars didnt did cocaine
@@4md17 Lars was definetely doing lots and lots of coke. Z

So it’s not about beating people up?
Ahhh young ones, 89 I was 19 in January and definitely driving around in my 1988 Honda CRX SI with my 10" kicker box cranking Metallica
Their energy is unrivaled
I saw that tour back in '89 and all I can think of to describe it was POWER.
Ah when Lars could really get after it. He really was mind blowingly fast in his prime.
The cocaine definitely helped.
Well he is like 60 now.
Greatest gig in the history of metal music… the energy, stage presence and speed has simply never been surpassed
If I could ever go back in time for one concert, this is the one, this would be the one.
the most brutal music recording in all of human history
Certainly one of them....up there with Sepultura and Slayer.
Take your slayer shit away
@@bullymaguire8458 slayer is great!
This was like near or over the 2 hour mark of that show, their energy back then is unbeatable still to this day! 🤘🤘
The death'of their beloved Cliff Burton made them so extremely aggressive and hard at those years it was fire
Welcome home Sanitarium Seattle 89!! Please do that one next!!
Thee Most Amazing show I've ever been to. The atmosphere was Electric! Bordering on a Riot the entire show. Check out Creeping Death from this show. Incredible!!!
Dear 1989 lars: we miss you
I literally watch every video people do reacting to this exact performance. It's just epic.

Next Metallica song you do, afterwards pull up the studio version and listen to a minute of it. It’s very different.
Yeah, i think it was at Toronto 1986? They were allowed for an hour in, and they had a 2 and a half hour setlist.
“How is he moving his limbs that quickly?!”
Cocaine is a helluva drug😅
I would really love to recommend a couple others from this show
The Thing That Should Not Be
Breadfan.
Saw Cliff on bass with Metallica in 1986, classic lineup and great concert. Then 1988 and 1989 with Jason on bass. These concerts were in Southern California. 🤘🎸
They still perform with a lot of fire and attitude, they run circles around "good" metal bands at their peak.
The tickets is expensive, but one thing is for sure, you WILL get your money's worth! Metallica always delivers
Now watch Battery from the 1986 Toronto show. That blows this away.
ok you got my like when you gave him a kiss that was adorable bless y'all.
“How is he moving his limbs so quickly”
Cocaine Amanda… lot and lots of cocaine.
This is just a band at the absolute peak of their powers. This concert is so good.
Great reaction !! I missed the 89 concert, but i saw them in 1992 and they were amazing. Cheers
lars kick in era,, all head baging wowwwwww. from malaysia
today 7th feb2023
the drums tonight are being brought to you by Lars "Cocaine" Ulrich lol
He was 26 though and had 4 albums and many tours.
Cocaine aside he s a sportive personn , that helps
I Was 17 in 89. Metallica was and still Is my favorite band.
Was at this concert in the Kingdome @ 13 years old!😄🤘
Orion is another great song.
The Day That Never Comes Live Nimes 2009 please!
React next song, The thing that should not be, from the same concert. Really great performance, Love that song.
I was 17 at this concert. So badass!!
James is an great singer!

I graduated high school in 1989 damn I'm old! 😭
Legendary, we will never see that in the future...
And just imagine that's the energy level that they closed their show with!
seeing them in detroit in nov w/ pantera cant wait
I would’ve loved to grow up in the 400 block of Battery St., San Francisco, Ca.
Lars on Cocaine was the best Lars...
A little faster than the studio version. Approximately 210 bpm compared to 190? anyone have an accurate count?
1989 was the year I graduated high school. You should try listening to damage Inc.
30 years i support the guys but Seattle89 was so brutal. Best live concert for me 💪🤘
Please can you react to Whiplash from the same concert. Jason Newsted said it was probably the hardest they had played that song.
Nice to see you listening and having fun to the masters METALLICA !!!!
(but "Amanda" ... never cut a song again run HAHA it's brutal !!!! AHAHA (I say this with great sympathie !
(It's not a drama thankfully ^^ ; ) Thanks for your moment ! Very cool ;)

Think about this: Metallica has only existed for 5 years at the time this video was recorded. The guys are still in their 20s.
Only 5 years? Their first album came out 6 years before this lol
You guys have to do And justice for all and The thing that should not be from this show😁
I remember seeing them play this song with cliff on support of the master of puppets album.

LMAO!!! That’s a good one
Gd old days saw them 2x in Germany on this tour it was break from Military service that was in. Gd times
You guys Should react to justice for all 1989
Jason has the sides of his head shaved.
Listen to Metallica medleys. Ronnie Rising and Mercyful Fate :)
Metallicaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song goes 300 km/h … the speed metal in maximum level
The amount of cocaine consumed before the show would rival scarface. They're playing so incredibly fast and intense it's unbelievable.
The Kings.
The Kings 🤘
Dude dont hate just play it while youre having a sesh with your ms. She will appreciate
And just think this is how they ended most of their shows.
Couldn't really make out the audio from the video
Great concert , I've seen them before. Best 4 me was 1st van Halen monster of rock. But u miss the build up to the song . I suggest you listen to it in ur spare time to get a better understanding of their versatility. But up to u.
Amanda is BEAUTIFULL !!!
