1.6 million people. Military helicopters. Soldiers who were there to keep the order gave up and just joined the crowd
One of the first shows by western bands that were allowed to play there as the iron curtain started to fall
To be wrecked by someone infuriatingly pausing it for ads
For real?
@@shannonherb2048yes history in the making that’s why the crowd is so excited they appreciate every bit of it this is new to them
Approximately the population of Phoenix or Philadelphia.
@@shannonherb2048 Yeah it basically turned into a national celebration of finally being allowed to be a part of the rest of the world. Instead of just listening to smuggled records and tapes or pirate pressings of albums on old x-ray plates (yes that was a thing because it was readily available vinyl sheets)
Okay Stacy, a history lesson from a guy who was there, sort of. The Monsters of Rock concert was a free concert put on by the Russian government. It was held at the Tushino Airfield in Moscow, during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. They estimated 1.6 million attendees. Being American I was not allowed to go but I was in the US Embassy about 3 miles away. If you look at the crowds those structures you see are actually speaker towers. The concert was so loud that inside the Embassy we still measured the sounds at an average of 96db. According to an official memo received by the Embassy in following days, there were 54 deaths attributed to the concert and the following day over 126k people were treated for hearing loss. And those helicopters you referenced had a dual purpose, one was to move the air around in the crowd and also be on standby in case an emergency rescue was needed. Also, the Russian military was doing security. Any other questions that I can answer, just let me know. 😁👍
Thankyou
That's awesome! I knew some of this stuff but to hear it from someone who was that close is incredible. 3 miles away and 96db? That's insane! I am surprised that only 126K people had hearing loss. I'm willing to bet they were all those people I the front and anyone in the vicinity of those speakers you spoke of. Is there a complete video of this concert? This is the only one I've ever seen Id love to see more of the entire show
Very interesting!!
that was crazy
@@Diesal3 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Those_About_to_Rock:_Monsters_in_Moscow. I don't think there is a complete video of the event.
Rumour has it that there are still people trying to get home from this concert 😂😂😂😂
Estimated 1.6 million people at this one
LOL
ruined it by pausing again
they caused a minor earthquake with their jumping also.
Sadly most of them ended up at the border of Ukraine. Bad end to a historic concert.
I heard the line for the bathroom is just now starting to get a little bit shorter!!!
Metallica is not a concert, it is an experience. They give 1000% every show. They did an opening gig on an Ozzy tour back in the 80s. It was the last time this band was not at least a co-headliner. I've been lucky enough to have seen 8 Metallica shows since the 80s. I've never been disappointed.
If you get the opportunity to see them, I strongly recommend going. You will not regret it.
@@dogfacedgremlin2020 no not really.
Yep, Master of Puppets tour in 86 they opened up for Ozzy. I was there. 🙃
Not even a Metallica fan, but they were one of the best concerts I've ever seen. They're unreal live. Absolutely amazing.
This is a special show. People forget Metallica wasn’t the headliner, AC/DC was. But it’s significant because they were on the monsters of rock tour in Europe while the black Album was blowing up at home. This was the last time they were ever an opening act with one exception for a one off stones show. They are becoming the biggest band in the world right here in real time.
I just commented the exact samething😂😂
It was a significant show not only for Metallica but for Pantera too)
Yes , you can see all the AC/DC's stage structure from 91. The same tour they were also the headliner on Monsters of Rock Donington Festival
Metallica has the distinction of having played a concert on all eight continents. They are the only band to do a concert in Antarctica.
Noooooo,they opened for korn,slipknot....
You have to realise that for people back then, and especially the crowd in that particular concert, the music wasn't just about the sound, it represented a whole worldview and way of life.
Yea when music actually meant something and told stories. Today, music is just shit
This was one of the first Western concerts in the USSR before the Soviet Union fell. It was in Moscow. These people were anxious for anything from the US.
And free
That was a great time it seemed like the world was at peace for a while
This will never happend agine 1,6 miljon people watch Monsters off Rock in Moscow.
I bet when Metallica seen 1.6 million people show up at their concert they thought the entire USSR was there.
Was it before USSR fell? Or just after? I’ve heard both. I remember seeing a documentary of this concert but can’t find it anywhere.
It’s not about Metallica. It’s about The People.
The First time these beautiful people were “Allowed” to have/attend/see a Concert. It gets me every time.
It’s really sad Reactors don’t know how important this was.
React to MV of Nothing Else Matters!!!!! This concert moment will never be repeated again! Imagine getting to hear western music for the first time in your life! They didn’t have radios that went outside of the Soviet union. Had just been allowed on radios from outside of Russia for less than a year, the people were hungry for anything that they never experienced. They were dying for freedom. Many traveled for a week on foot to get here. Many died, many were injured. All for this moment in history.!!!
Нет, опять враньё. за 2 года до этого был концерт в Лужниках: Оззи Осборн, Скорпионс, Мотли Крю, Скид РОу и ещё куча групп. В том же году Ингви Мальмстин выступал и ещё.
@@mytulacom Самыми первыми были вроде Uriah Heep в 87-м. Я на этом концерте был, примечательно, что на разогреве были Земляне :), которые удивили меня своим жёстким саундом :).
And see what happens to these beautiful people now. Sad :(
@@amyaeschbach3581dude we lived in ussr not mars. While yes concerts like these weren’t a thing there were plenty of Russian rock bands and we all had Michael Jackson records and Metallica and Beatles. Enough with the Soviets were bad narrative
In 1991 the iron curtain came down in Russia , Boris Yeltsin became the president of Russia,, He went around asking college kids and young adults in general what they really wanted> The overwhelming majority was a rock concert,, Metallica was on tour with ACDC in Europe at the time.. They were contacted and agreed to do a free concert.. 1.6 million + showed up,,The helicopters were there to keep order, but to also keep people cool,, this was held in Moscow .
Creeping Death from the same show is amazing! Def worth a watch. Hearing over a million people scream Die Die Die gives the chills
🔥🤘🏽🔥
Agreed. I think Creeping Death is the better watch of the two songs. Goosebumps the entire song.
Yep. That song is my favorite ever Metallica performance.
Fun thing that in russian die sounds like дай - means give
^this!
everyone seems to forget this little tidbit.... "The British heavy metal band Iron Maiden first played in Poland on August 9, 1984, in Warsaw, as part of their World Slavery Tour. The tour supported their fifth album, Powerslave, and took place across Communist Eastern Europe in the summer of 1984. Iron Maiden was one of the first major rock bands to play big shows in the Communist Eastern Bloc at the time"
I saw the same tour at Long Beach California. Never forget that show. Especially when they played my favorite Maiden song.... Running Free.
Uriah heep played in 1987 in Russia, the scorpions in 1988 and in 1989 there was the Moscow Music and peace festival, with Cinderella; scorpions; Skid Row; Motley Crue; Ozzy Osbourne and Bon Jovi+3 Russian bands.
Great info.
Maiden also made a concert in Sarajevo during the explosion of Yugoslavia in the 90's.
This is what 1.6 million people look like. And no, that isn't a typo
Barry Manilow did it bigger.
@@soapy-walrus2847 Who?
@@soapy-walrus2847who cares
3:54 I guess you missed the big green field behind the crowd. so no that is not 1.6 million people there.
evrytime someone posts a number it gets bigger>LOL originally estimated 500,000 people for Metallica's show and over a million for the entire weekend of shows
The real quiz is their performance of Harvester of Sorrow at the same concert. No one reacts to it and it is one of the greatest live performances of all time.
It was the biggest Metallica performance in its history. I was 21 and no stadium in Moscow would have accepted such a crowd. The concert took place in Tushino, a military airfield. After that, Hetfield fell in love with the Russian people and came to visit us many more times alone without Metallica.
My heart goes out to anyone oppressed by communism. It was very emotional for me to see this amazing crowd's introduction to Western ideals and freedom. It helps keep me grounded to not take my way of life for granted. Many blessing to you friend! Greetings from Atlanta Georgia USA.
@@davidmiera8858 Thank you for your heartfelt words, FRIEND from Atlanta!!! I am also watching what is happening in the United States and I am worried, "capital" is dragging the American People into a civil war...
@@rodstar141Putin and Trump need to be in a prison together
@@davidmiera8858 WHAT IS WRONG ABOUT COMMUNISUM? IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR GENERATIONS IF NOT CENTURIES. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THE PEOPLE IN CHINA AND RUSSIA HAVE NO FREEDOM AT ALL. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS. HINT: THEY LIVE A BETTER LIFE THAN YOU! YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS BRAINWASHED. THIS IS COMING FROM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN LIVING IN THE STATES.
It was the first time Metalica had access to Russia and played there. BLAST!
James (Hetfield, lead singer) has the same stage presence today. Yes, they are still touring, my son and I went to see them at Twickenham in 2019 (second time we'd seen them). They've been performing for so long that you can find 3 generations of fans from the same family going to see them together. They sound just as good now as they did in the 80s. You're going to have a blast with their back catalogue. One, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, Creeping Death (from this concert), Nothing Else Matters. You'll hear of all these and more in the comments. They've got over 35 years of top class material.
Too bad everyone just reacts to the main radio singles and never any others. My dad just saw them a week ago (I live in another state or id have gone with) my dad said they still did a 16 song set which is unreal at their age while still maintaining the energy and stage presence all these years later
Which is a crazy concept to me because my dad could have taught them all in highschool, and I'm 25. His first year teaching out of college was 1978. Imagining having a grandpa that loves them is impossible to me haha
@@ImThe5thKing Well, I'm a grandfather. I went to my first metal gig in 1978. Def Leppard. Though my granddaughter is a little too young to be taken to a gig, not yet 1. But she's been sat behind my drum kit and loved the sound of the cymbals (played softly) especially 😁
James has the same stage presence, but unfortunately not the same sound to his voice. This was the last tour that he actually sounded amazing. He started taking singing lessons before recording the black album and I personally think he was better off without them. I have seen them 16 times and there was really nothing like hearing him sing and the band as a whole on the Damaged Justice tour in 1988-89. That was when they were at their best live.
@never2late_mtb349 I went to see them last summer in Jersey. Still rockin out after all these decades. My wife & daughter went to, my daughter was totally blown away. She's not really a metal head but she was banging her head as hard as anyone else.
Metallica, bringing families 2gthr with speed & aggression like no one else can.
To put this in perspective: Taylor Swift, who has been an international icon and phemonenon for many years, has recently played three back-to-back shows each attended by a record 96,000 people. And that's still 16 times less than this concert, held in times when there was no Internet.
Also Russian youth was banned from western influence and music. So most people couldn’t buy a Metallica album so most had a to copy a cassette tape or burn a CD. And still showed up in huge numbers!
Well Metallica has talent and they do what they want. Swift has no talent and is bought and paid for. Metallica and swiffer aren’t even comparable. The swiffer fans won’t last because they don’t actually care about music. Metallica will live on forever. The fans are hardcore. Metallica will be in encyclopedia. Swiffer will go the way of the fidget spinner.
When Taylor Swift organizes concerts, the ticket prices are hefty. The Monsters of Rock concert was free for visitors, apart from the travel costs to Moscow.
Who?
@UltraViolent21 who are you to say that Taylor Swift fans don't know anything don't care about music I'm a Taylor Swift fan and a Metallica fan what do you got to say about that
That's it Stacey today is the point of no return, you are discovering Metallica and nothing will be the same again. This group, based on all the music that I suggested to you on Twitch, will make you experience grandiose and unique emotions... I am so happy and proud of your journey, we will always be there at your side to help you discover the best of Metal. Another reaction masterclass from you Stacey, you always have very accurate words. You speak about music with a wisdom that deserves respect.
Imagine that I have been listening to Enter Sandman for almost 32 years and that when I started listening just now it still gave me goosebumps... Another example of the power and quality of Metallica. Bye'n'cha my friend 🤘🤘🤘☺
Monsters of Rock 1991 on the 28th Sept at Tushino Airfield Moscow - the line up was AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera, The Black Crowes and a Russian metal band E.S.T. The, then collapsing Soviet rule allowed the tour and the event was basically free, the attendance is not really known, but legend says it was 1.6 million. It was almost certainly over 1 million. As you can see, security was literally a division of Soviet troops, many of whom joined the crowd.
Something to think about; most of the attendees were likely in their teens and early 20s (at that time, I myself was 18 then I'm now in my 50's). Now it is 33 years later and I wonder how many of those young people are still alive today, I wonder how many (if any) are now important or powerful people in Russia, how many may be politicians or military commanders in Russia or Ukraine. An exceptional moment in time and history. It is tragic to see what has become of the nation(s) that welcomed that amazing tour.
Putin was at that concert, near the front. That explains his behavior today.
When the crowd at this concert were jumping, their were earth quake readings. That is the power of over a million people in one place.
This performance is more iconic than the music video.
YES! YES! YES! ABOUT TIME YOUR GOING TO LOVE THIS, played in Moscow's Tushino Airfield in 1991 as part of the "Monsters of Rock" festival. The concert drew an estimated 1.6 million attendees, making it one of the largest concerts ever held. The performance took place just months before the Soviet Union's collapse.
no one estimated 1.5 million attendance at the Metallica show
it's only internet folktale
@RoverWaters Looking at the crowd, what would you estimate, then? That number is consistent across the internet, obviously it came from somewhere.
@@jrc01718 it came before the internet, obviously.
it was an estimation of the organizers for the amount of people present there over the whole weekend.
@@RoverWaters It was only one day in Moscow, no? September 28, 1991?
1.6 million in 3 days.
Well over a million people squished into 1 concert, people died, and the people at the back couldn't see or hear a thing. This was in 91 at the end of the Cold War
It has been said many times that there is no reliable confirmation from any credible sources that anyone died there, it's just a rumor. There were some riots and even injured people, but no deaths.
FALSE
Mr Gorbachev, take down that wall.
@@unklebacon44 53 wounded, not dead
@@RoverWaters Multiple reports, just not official by the Russian government
I’m just curious how someone never heard this particular song before? It’s played at every sporting event, one of the most recognizable songs ever
i guess most of the "first time reacts to....." is kind of bull#%"&, They must have lived under a rock or something!
@@wavester77it is bullshit. Anything for clicks
Not everyone attends sporting events
most of these reaction videos are done by an average Betty who looks cute and think commenting on some videos will get her likes and views and such. there, now you know.
money m8. youtube money. Did you see the number of followers of this beautiful lady?
That stage is impressive! I used to love listening to this on my walkman on the way to school and college, I never imagined they had this audience, so epic
It'll never be repeated. The fall of the wall and the former ussr. An absolute celebration.
At that moment Putin was already planning the KGB take-over and buying
up al state enterprises...he was celebrating for another reason...
It'll be repeated in 50 years after the US breaks free from the Communist regime that is about to take power.
Yesss, so glad you’re diving into Metallica. It’s a massive rabbit hole
My dad was at this "Monsters of Rock" Moscow '91 edition (I was 5 months old) and he arrived home only 3 days later because of police. Cops was arresting a lot of random people who wasn't drunk, who doesn't fight with cops ect ect. But still when my dad remembering this crazy festival, he smiles a lot)
Yeah, "Monsters of Rock" was attended by over 1.000.000 people at Tushino airfield and it was free for audience
yeah keep beleive this fathers tale for mother, where he was 3 days :))
Metallica's concert at the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow, Russia in 1991 is considered the largest rock concert in the band's history, with an estimated 1.6 million people in attendance
There's actually an interview with the band somewere on YT, where he says that THIS concert was a "Mindf*ck of a performance", and keep in mind they were all in their twenties, and had just started becoming big at the time ...

@@kennethzimmermann7351 Do you mean John Marshall?
The black album from which this song is taken is one of the finest metal albums you will ever hear. Epic
It's a pop hard rock album...
FYI this was an all-day concert featuring Pantera, EST, The Black Crows, Metallica, and AC/DC. Apparently nobody died, at least not officially. It was really hot and I don't want to imagine the toilet situation.
Massively epic.
I know, I always hear people throwing out numbers. Like, thete was this many deaths, this many women "hurt", this many bones broke, and so on. I can ABSOLUTELY ASURE YOU, these numbers are fabricated. If for no other reason than this was the SOVIET UNION!!! And, we still don't know what happened to 9 hikers on Dyatlov's pass (Dead Mountain), because the USAR doesn't want "BAD" press, but, somehow, someway, people I'm the UNITED STATES, mind you, got heavily secured Russian state secrets?

I just got home from the concert, it was amazing!. 😂 The greatest band to ever walk planet earth btw
They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their songs, on stage performances and crowd draws. They are one of the bests bands.
The Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow back in 1991 was an epic moment in rock history! Held at the Tushino Airfield, it featured live performances by legendary bands like AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Pantera and E.S.T.. But what made it truly remarkable was the context: it took place just a month after the failed August Putsch, during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Imagine this: 1.6 million rock and metal fans converged in Moscow for the first ever open-air rock concert. And guess what? The concert was completely free, which drew even more people to the event. The helicopters were there to manage the excitable rock fans, and even military personnel shed their uniforms to headbang along! there are some reports that the helicopters were flying over the crowd to cool them down.. don't know if that's true or not. This wasn’t just a concert; it was a cultural invasion, a Western rock armada landing on Soviet soil. I think the local mayor said that he thought only about 300 people would turn up.. don't underestimate loyal Rock and Metal fans lol. If you love this then you MUST check out Metallica live in Seattle 1989 this whole concert is legendry with us Metallica fans. They were just Brutal at this show.. my all time top Metallica concert.. been into them for over 35 years.. you are gonna enjoy this rabbit hole.
1.6 million people and everyone forgets that AC/DC headlined this concert
Not all. I caught this tour in Berlin by sheer coincidence as an American student at the time. AC/DC was my 1st concert ever and got into Metallica with Ride the Lighting. So my 2 favorite bands (yes I’m a Beavis & Butthead) we’re co headliners! Metal head heaven.
May be someones beleive that, but i promise you - Metallica in Russia was (and still) waaaay more popular. AcDc - is band of one song. Like Europe or Eagles
Nothing more sexier than seeing a woman jamming to Metallica!!
Totally agree
"sad but true" is one of their best lyrically. after everything said, he says look inside, open your eyes, I'm you. you know it's sad but true. quality. and as the bell tolls. there's dozens and dozens of songs , it's hard to know where to start. all the way from the 80s, and they're still going strong. still touring. amazing.
Ok, two things that might not have been said yet, but I don't have the time to read 2K+ comments :
That concert, The Monsters of Rock Tour, was NOT only Metallica, they were not even the headliners ... BUT !
It is still, to this day, in the Guiness' Books of Record as the live performance with the largest live, direct crowd ever.
ONE concert had about 2 BILLIONS spectators, but NOT live and on site.
Metallica still holds a second World's Guinness'' Record from that year : they are the ONLY band that had a major concert on ALL continents in a single tour in a single year (YES, they held a concert in Antartica, for the people of the research station there and the penguins).
That particular concert lasted all day and most of the night, and it really changed the life of the whole planet.
One of the largest concerts ever, and also one of the most symbolically significant concerts ever. First proper concert behind the iron curtain. 1.6m estimated I think? Must have been something to see live…
not entirely true... Iron Maiden went on a full fledged tour through Eastern Europe in the mid-80's, and they were not toned down concerts. Also, 2 years before this one was the Moscow Music Peace Fest, which, while not having as many people because it was in a stadium so "only" 100,000 people could attend, was more significant because it was before communism was falling in Eastern Europe and all, it was the first really big rock fest behind the Iron Curtain (Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Scorpions and Cinderella played)
3:18 1.6 million russians was there 9:36 Theres a lot of bigger concerts, like Rod Stewart in Rio in 1994: 3.5 million people
Awesome reaction Stacey, Metallica has been around 40 years and still going strong.
At Virginia Tech university the football team enters Lane Stadium to this song. That's when 79,000 students and alumni begin jumping together, singing the lyrics. It's the greatest show in college football. GO HOKIES !!!!!😊
They also played their 1984 hit Creeping Death at this concert, and as good as Sandman was, Creeping Death is probably my favorite out of the two! This was their peak! Well, and the 1989 Seattle concert. Highly recommend looking into watching something from that as well.
The intro is from Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold. Cheers from Italy! :)
Featured in the film THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, which I HIGHLY recommend.
In Seattle here, going to see Pantera/Metallica on friday and Five Finger Death Punch/Metallica on Sunday! Can’t wait!!!!
Lucky you!! Enjoy!!
Yees!!! Enjoy!!!🤘
Just went to that show in Edmonton canada and it was a blast
From that same concert Pantera played too. There is a song called Domintation youll have you watch. One of the best guitar solos ever.
This was after the fall of the Soviet Union. This is the first concert played from bands from The "West" ever played in Russia. Estimated 1.6 million people. It was a FREE concert.
It was called "For Those About to Rock: Monsters In Moscow" Metallica, ACDC, Pantera and The Black Crows. whats crazy is seeing the soldiers and the crowd together .
This is the link for the Monsters In Moscow documentary..

Sensai Buckaroo😊
when you put it into context, place, date, it was like the rebirth of forgotten freedom. one of the most epic events of the time, music and commonality had beaten war and oppression.......thanks for time warp to memories.....
The concert was part of the Monsters of Rock series and was the first open-air rock concert in the Soviet Union. The crowd was 1.6 million people and regarding the vocals James was always great in my opinion but he received vocal training / coaching years after this and got even better!!
This is not a rabbit hole. It is THE rabbit hole!
Live Aid was also broadcast around the world. plenty of people watched from home.
But yeah this was when western bands began being able to play here and so for a first time turnout, it was destined to be huge.
Check out Metallica playing an Elton John song at the 2024 Gershwin Awards... In front of Elton John... The song... Funeral for a friend, Love Lies Bleeding
I read a comment that said google and the military did a study to map out the amount of people and it was estimated at 1.77mil people were here to listen to Metallica!
10:35 - That lip bite, lip lick and sigh = GOLD!!! 😈
The helicopters weren't there for security but to fan fresh air into the crowd. 1.6 million by one estimate. This was one of the first concerts to play to the people of the soon to be disbanded Soviet Union. Although there are a lot of theories out there, I firmly believe that it was rock music that toppled the Soviet Union. From the first bands (Cliff Richard, Uriah Heap, Nitty Gritty Dirt band, etc) to play within the Iron Curtain came a crack in the oppression of the Soviet system. This concert proved that the Communists could no longer control the young people who ended up gathering the courage to bring down their sacred Soviet Union. In short, rock music accomplished what almost 50 years of anti-communist rhetoric failed to do. Topple the Berlin Wall! Damn, we good! Loved your reaction to this, Stacey. You always bring a fresh, intelligent take on the music that I've loved for over 60 years. Blessings!
I was going to mention the helicopters fanning air, but figured I would check the comments first. From someone who spent a good amount of time underneath them, I can confirm that it works very well. 😎👍
I thought it was David Hasselhoff that toppled the Soviet Union. Yes, I am joking, but he probably thinks so, since he was asked to sing as the wall was coming down...lol.
Hi Stacy, im a cat dad and a huge Metallica fan. Their was an estimated 1.6 million people in attendance. It was held at an air field outside of Moscow.
false
@@RoverWaters what is
*_Sooo....have you seen Pantera playing DOMINATION at this very same Concert?_*
Terrible performance, Phil is out of breath the whole time.
heavier than the sun that breakdown is. not sure why i typed that out like yoda but im leaving it.
The helis are to help cool the crowd down with the rotor wash. I saw them in the And Justice for All tour years back and they are top level rockers. Their one of the VERY few “ hair bands “ that survived the diff music generes and STILL rock to this day ! Go see them; youll be blown away.
Serious question, has there ever been a concert with more people than this !? 1.6 million people is insane.
The helicopters were used to help keep the crowd cool down...the estimated people was 2.2 million and they stopped counting at 1.8 million
3:54 weird, because we can clearly see the grass field behind the crowd, that clearly is not even a million people
@@scotthaase4082 if you watch Pantera Cowboys From Hell live at Moscow you can clearly see some of the footage was filmed from the helicopter also who stopped counting when it was a free concert
Boston - Foreplay/Longtime needs to be reacted to. Quite possibly the best song from the 70's.
They stopped counting at 1.5 million people estimates go up to 3 million and 55 people died at this concert. It was free and the first time metal music was allowed in Russia. It was just after the fall of the Iron curtain in 1990.
Technically, Ozzy Osbourne (like Heavy Metal artist) played in Moscow Music Peace Festival two years earlier.
About 300 thousand spectators came and came from other cities to the concert with the participation of PANTHERA, BLACK CROSE, METALLIKA, AS / DS and our EST. This concert was guarded by 11 thousand people: police, riot police, internal troops, rifle divisions of the Soviet Army. When the first bottles fell on their heads and two soldiers were taken away by an ambulance, angry law enforcement officers began to rush at anyone they did not like, beating people with their hands, feet and clubs. The space in front of the stage literally turned into a bloody battle that did not stop from the very beginning of the concert until midnight.
According to the ambulance station, 56 people were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, of which 16 were military personnel."

1.6 million in the crowd, and no crowd surge. Just a bunch of people watching this incredible band and performance.
I remember when this happened was epic ! And they said there would never be another concert of this magnitude again because of the safety concern and what may have happened ! All the power to that era and the music ! Best era ever ! 👊
This concert was definitely legendary. There will be a few people in the comments that will poop on the numbers, but the estimate was 1.5 to 1.6 million people going through the gates. It was the first free open air concert in Russia. Like mentioned, there were other bands playing, like AC/DC, but Metallica absolutely killed it. Loved the review! James Hetfield (lead vocalist) always slays it
@@zackkullis5555 and James Hetfield said on the Joe Rogan show the attendance was 500.000
@@robertphelps1574Right….
no one estimated 1.5 million attendance at the Metallica show
it's only internet folktale
@@RoverWaters More poopers! Multiple sources estimated 1.5 million, but most estimates were 1.6 million. Thanks for playing!
@@zackkullis5555 name one source FROM PERIOD(before the internet) who reported what you say
AC/DC headlined this free rock concert as the iron curtain came down. Estimated 1-2million people in the crowd.
3 bands were there, AC/DC, Metallica and Megadeth...
@@TheMrEsseg ok but Metallica said it was just them & ACDC.
Rod Stewart holds the current world record for the biggest gig of all time, which was performed on Copacabana Beach to a staggering 3.5 million people celebrating New Year's Eve in 1994. I would hate to be in the middle of this, and that Taco Bell you had for breakfast starts to kick in, and your stomach starts to rumble-you're done! 😆I know I'm not the only one thinking about it.
Watch the video. One of the best of all time. Remember the first airing on MTV. When they actually played music on MTV
There's a reason why Metallica is the biggest metal band ever. And I believe no other metal band will ever come close to their success.
For a little context, the concert was in Moscow, the capital of Russia in 1991. The US and Russia had been "fighting" the Cold War for the past 30/40 years, threatening nuclear armageddon against one another for decades before this. Russia (the Soviet Union) was ruled by dictators, was secretive, didn't open up to the world and very much didn't like the US, but it collapsed around this time, the countries that they swallowed up began becoming independent again.
All those people (1.6 million or more) had been held captive by their cruel and insane government for years, a lot of them for the entire lives. Metallica, an American metal group, playing in your capital is not only a celebration, but a show of peace and unity. That's mostly why the crowd is so big.
Imagine eating only berries and nuts for the first 30 years of your life, then someone comes along and gives you a steak. That's what it was like for them. The only way they could hear american music was through smuggled media. Imagine being a fan and actually getting to see them performing in your Capitol.
@@SaintPhoenixxI wonder if anyone from that crowd went to the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989 and saw Bon Jovi ,Ozzy Osbourne,Scorpions,Cinderella and Motley Crue
I saw POD, Lincoln Park, and Metallica at one of the first rock concerts at Century Link Stadium, Seattle in like 2017. Metallica BLEW the doors off the the place! I'm a personal friend with the individual who wired Century Link with sound, and he told me this concert was his OPUS to date
I got to see them at U dub stadium in the 90's with Sew a cidal tendencies.
@@JAFO_2319 WOW! They played UW stadium with Suicidal Tendencies!? You got me beat man! that must have been AMAZING! What a show that was, I'm sure. GOOD times man. Rock on man!
@@arbilklamp7867 Alice in Chains was supposed to play but we ended up with Candlebox.
I was lucky enough to see them at Donington Monsters of Rock in 95 as a young 18 year old. The two and a half hour set they did was amazing (if a little spoiled by 2x4s introduction to their fans)
@@pepp77 MONSTER replies. SO cool! Thanks!
This was the end of the Iron Curtain era. To celebrate freedom one of the things was this free concert.
It was held at Tushino Airfield in Moscow. By noon, 300 000 festival attendees had entered the area.
When Pantera played there were 700 000 in the audience.
As the festival went on the number grew to a million.
Metallica reached 1,6 million. Closing act was AC/DC.
Heard different rumours (cannot confirm this) about how many people in the crowd got injuried due to
violent clashes between the public, the police and even military. To oversee the event,
there were 11 000 soldiers, police officers, hired security guards and riot police.
Very tragic whatever the amount was. This is what was said according to the journalist report.
LOL
your logic is lacking, AC/DC was the main act, so the top number of people was at night.
no source ever reported 1.6 mil at the Metallica opening show.
you just invented those numbers or quoted someone who did.
Reality is: NOBODY counted or estimated IN PERIOD the audience at Metallica show.
I love your reaction. I grew up listening to them, and just to see you liking the music, brings me back to my teenage years.
i realized awhile ago that great songs have something in common.. they're all created from a perfect storm... the perfect voice, lyrics, melody and hook.. often great bands rise to the top because they had a mix of great people.. a great voice.. a great guitar player.. a great drummer... metallica rose to the top for a reason... there one hit wonders because it's hard to find good hooks and voices that work with many songs.. one of the best songs ever i think is Passenger's let her go.. almost 4 billion views.. the voice is so unique but it only fit that one perfect song it seems.. while other voices like ac/dc thunderstruck and back in black .. and guns n' roses axl's voice is just insanely good.. so many great bands.. creedance cclearwater revival looking out my backdoor.. iko iko.. don't worry be happy.. so many unique voices and catchy songs.. of course some don't have super unique voices but they're still identifiable like eminem.. but metallica.. was just perfect .. and they made so many perfect storms.. i wish you would of watched more of them.. there's so many.. but gnr is such a close second to them.. almost equal really.. but there was many more like bon jovi and skid row and def leppard.. so so many.. and lots studied music.. had some of highest rated guitarists like slash and richie sambora... it's not like they just got lucky.. maybe to find each other sure.. but they rose from thousands and thousands of bar bands around the world.. because they were the perfect storms.. the beatles michael jackson .. you name it... they had the hooks.. the catchy lyrics and voices.. maybe if more realize this they'll find their perfect storm.. even one is enough
Government paid.... told everyone go!
never heard about Metallica?? poor Stacy
lol These UTubers are So deprived of real Music with real Musicians… thank god for Video
Heard of them before just don’t know their music!
@@StaceyRPGReacts google Them 😬
@@StaceyRPGReacts also a new Discovery for you!!! If you love keyboards and synthesizers you will fall in love with Keith Emerson!! Greg Lake on bass Acoustic and electric guitar and Carl (Fricken) Palmer on Drums ✌🏼❤️ from California
If She Likes This She Should Do the Video For "One" By Them 😅 Be Prepared it is a Gut Wrencher. I Loved Growing Up With Jason Newsted's Bro For My 4th Grade Teacher.
1.6million people were at this show at an abandoned airfield.
Apparently the government asked the youth who would they like to see, and they said guns and roses, but they weren't available but acdc, Metallica and Pantera were touring in Europe (i think eastern Europe) so they were close enough and fit it in their schedule
I was there at a gig just like this in 93. Mental Meltdown at the MK Bowl. Best gig I have ever been to in my life. Epic
James Hetfield himself (who is not familiar, that is, original member and lead singer… so that is from 1981 to now. 43 years! And still going strong!!!) . So James himself in an interview, that that was the scariest concert and show of his his life. Just look at this massive crowd of soldiers, just trying to keep the audience out of the band… I’m still amazed! And btw, there were casualties, and unfortunately a few deaths 😔🥺💕❤️ but what would you expect at that kind of show?! 1.7 million ppl, really. Ok some comments said it was a massive overestimate and there were like 500,000. Which is still fucking A LOT. Back in my days, in my 20s, I’ve been to hell of a lot of festivals, and concerts ☺️😂❤️ from mid of Russia (Siberia Nizhiy Novgorod, and btw, Novgorod was original capital of Russia, like couple of thousand years before Moscow and my home city, St.Petersburg, the most beautiful city in the world. That’s what you call, one city to visit, before you die)))
The eastern block wall just fell and freedom rang through all the eastern block countries and they could listen to western music rock metal legally. It was a huge concert to the communist Soviet Union at this time.
My first experience with Metallica was in 1986 and the Master of Puppets album. I've been rocking with them ever since. They are still great in 2024.
It's the "Monsters of Rock" in Tushino Airbase / Moscow (28.09.1991) with an estimated 1.6 - 2 million visitors all in all, only topped by Jean-Michel Jarre in 1997, where he played before an astonishing crowd of 3.5 million people, at the red sqare, also in Moscow.
I have never watched reaction videos until your Queen video and now I’m hooked. This time you’re not crying your eyes out, but still totally entertaining to watch along with.
Proof that music can change the world. The Monsters of Rock showed up in Moscow to show Soviets what they were missing. A few years later, Ronald Reagan was saying "Tear Down This Wall" in Berlin, and the Soviet Union and Iron Curtain were no more. This band has such a masculine sound, but the lyrics are about tucking your son into bed. For another great live performance, check out "Whiskey in the Jar" from Dublin - maybe the oldest song (in centuries!) you'll ever react to!
Monsters of Rock Moscow 1991 - a series of rock and heavy metal concerts.
You've got to understand, The Cold War was basically over. The Soviet Union was dissolved about 4 months after this concert. It was held on a military airbase (nothing else could handle the crowds), and attendance was free. This was more or less the first taste of "The Decadent West" all those people got without the risk of ending up in jail (at best).
1991.Most people were tired of "The Cold War". Hope grew around the World.. perhaps could youth in Russia and former Soviet Union(USSR) go forward into the future alongside western Countries?..starting with this Free Concert with several Rock Bands from the West! I remember watching Metallica in Concert the following year (1992)..Man how time flew away and the World has changed...Cellphones, Internet , AI was still a dream/nightmare..3 years later the Movie Termintor 2 was released and the World was heading into a new Era for sure .. but for the better??..well, we will see... / Peace to everyone!!
1.6 Million people were at that concert!! Insane crowd!
The low down on the crowd numbers boils down to this; 500,000 tickets were issued. So many people started showing up without tickets that the organizers basically gave up and let them in. Anything above 500,000 is a best guess, they also weren't all there at exactly the same time so 1.6mil is the total attendance estimate. You're probably still looking at about 700-800,000 people there, remember this is the tarmac of an airport so it's absolutely massive too.
Stacey, as amazed as you are, imagine being a cold war soldier who was trained to see "the Russians" as enemies. Then to see this and how music brings everyone together. It's magical. The discussion of the Russian invasion is a whole different topic and this video is still captivating to my old soldier's eyes.
But remember, the intro is not from Metallica. It's 'The Ecstasy Of Gold' from Ennio Morricone and it's the soundtrack to the movie "Il buono, il brutto e il cattivo" , an italian western from 1966, directed by Sergio Leone and played by a young Clint Eastwood🤟
Having grown up with Metallica in my teens, I’ve seen them in concert 11 times. Watching this intro still brings tears to my eyes. Not hundreds and thousands, that crowd is hundreds of thousands!! Metallica and now also 5FDP are staples still in all of my playlists!! They’re a Bay Area (San Francisco) group of guys. I lived in N. CA most of my life. I always loved the stories of them going into small Bay Area bars for the night, fill it up, lock the doors and play. I was never lucky enough but a buddy of mine was. My biggest regret was not having YT at the time of this event. When the first VHS tapes started to come out I couldn’t wait for it to be on tape lmao
Sad time we live in Post-Covid, we are not likely to ever see a crowd this big again and it's a damn shame, 33 years later I can still feel the energy.
They're the best and James is one of the most charismatic and powerfull frontman of all times!! If you want to fall n love even deeper take a look to their concert in Seattle 1989.... it's completely INSANE
Metallica is a world renowned metal band and often stands in the top 3 of best metal band, album, song list. Excited that you are beginning this journey. You will find biblical songs, anti-war songs, deep thought songs. The solos will make you want more and the way the design their music is incredible. Not all albumbs are perfect by any means, but they definitely have a stronghold on metal and musical influence. Ive seen them live many times and to this day, no one tops them in my opinion.
There was a joke made at one point
Nazi Germany sent millions to conquer the Russian's in WWII, and failed. The American's sent 8, and succeeded! The significance of this show makes it so much better. It was an add-on show for the tour already in progress.
Metallica in the late '80s & early '90s dominated the globe.
If you continue down this Metallica journey, and I do hope you do there is almost a "required" listening list.
Creeping Death (Live in Moscow"
Battery (Seattle '89)
The Thing That Should Not Be (Seattle '89)
No Leaf Clover (S&M)
Fade to Black

I've been a fan since I was a kid. 30+ years later, and I still am. They are the master of change up.
I've seen them 11 times on two continents. Every single show was insane.
Keep in mind this was also 33 years ago and information didn't travel anywhere near as fast as today. So if information about this concert happening traveled even 25% of what it does today, can you imagine how big that crowd would have been?🤔😎
1.6 million people. People want to give Reagan or the Pope credit, but this concert with Pantera, Metallica and ACDC was the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union
I have a friend in Russia who traveled over 600 kilometers to this show.
If you want a better view of the crowd watch creeping death where the camera pans from left to right giving a much better perspective on the actual size
