Drums are still acoustic even tho they’re being processed from the PA. If he doesn’t hit the drums hard they wouldn’t sound right. Every drummer sounds different for this reason.
Eyenfinity Face - The Cosmic Loner well now there’s a special effect right in front of him. If he doesn’t hit the shit out of it you get no cool splash’s.
Funny coz the rain only started the moment they came on and stopped when they finished. I remember getting pissed that it started raining but jeez it really improved the crowd. Everyone couldn’t use their phones as much. So happy it did rain now and I’ve been to many gigs and been fortunate that it hadn’t rained in any of those gigs until this. Very hard to go to many outdoor gigs in the UK without rain. I was 19 during this wearing just a t shirt and left the gig soaked but it was so worth it. Plus i pissed my pants since i didn’t want to step away for a moment to go to toilet and miss anything. I remember my friend took it upon himself to lift me on his shoulders, still haven’t told him I’d pissed my pants 😂. I’ll wait till we’re older haha.
Lucky enough to be there, when it rained, it wasn't a sprinkle it was torrential, everyone went wild, and it was one of them moments when the whole crowd felt as one. In my top three live music experiences!
I don't think anyone would realize this, but James is playing his most prized guitar in the pouring rain. This rustic looking guitar's name is Carl named after the street in California where they practiced for years. The band got the idea to dismantle the garage they used to practice in back in the day and bring it to their studio and reassemble it inside it. So they tried, but the garage had been torn down. Despite that the band decided to hold a reunion party on the property and someone who was an old friend came and said that he had kept some of the wood from the garage, so they took the wood from the very garage where they wrote Ride The Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and most notably Master of Puppets and built a very special guitar for the band. Carl is brought out and played with every performance of Master of Puppets no matter the weather which is remarkable to see considering the historical and sentimental significance of the instrument.
¿¿¿Seriously??? That I did not know and did you know that For one of its 3 batteries is playing, the purple battery that is playing is the 2 battery The First battery is a Green battery that that battery is since it started Metallic, and the Third battery is orange. u this Lars has and a battery that is orange and lars said that his orange battery was the most prized for him
As a manc myself, seeing the greatest ever performance of the greatest metal song in my home in the rain gives me so much pride. This is as good as any metal performance will ever get.
Their guitar techs and drum tech will get a headache after this rainy concert. They will have a lot of job to do. A big applause to the techs and roadies!!
@@cursethesky3874 incorrect, that is a Ken Lawrence Explorer.. Look at the headstock and body mate, its nothing like the 'Esp Snakebyte" you claim to have
Despite their huge fame, I think Metallica is often underappreciated for how insanely skilled they are at playing live. They sound so damn tight every time.
They're really not that tight every time though, but they should have mad respect nonetheless. As a drummer, guitarist, bassist and singer, with emphasis on the first one, no they are not tight every time. But these mf's play a lot of f-ing shows. I wouldn't be tight on either instrument every show. I've been on tour in Poland and the Check Republic and only had 4 shows at the time. Gods shall know I wasn't tight every god damn show. I was drunk af tho lol. And these old men do a lot more shows than that and I'm just 35, so there's that. Credit should be given when credit is due. Love these guys.
If you think that Eddie playing this is legendary, remember that a bunch of 50-60 year old dudes played this in pouring rain IN REAL LIFE and rocked a crowd of thousands
@@ramirorodriguez1778 I see a lot of people handling that Eddie scene so wrong. It’s like it’s gonna deter more people than welcome them in. I see too many gate keepers and that’s precisely what I hate about metal and I’m a metal head. I can’t stand these stubborn hard core metal heads that think they can dictate what’s good and bad. The genre will never become big again because band fan bases have feuds with each other when the bands just wanna make music and far too many sub genres with fans of one sub genre hating the other sub genre. E.g Metal core fans will hate grind core or whatever tf cores and shit you have now. That’s what’s wrong with the genre as a whole.
@@KungfooBucket it depends where you look. I saw in the comments to the actual scene were people was complaining about how it’s gonna attract kids who listen to pop and make it commercial which is a bunch of bollocks. I was at this very gig so I have a say but I noticed a few people in this comment section having a problem with it. Just why metal will never be popular, too many gate keepers have bragging rights over those who are being introduced to it. You can be introduced one way or the other, these kids who listen to pop might not have been introduced to Metallica before since pop is everywhere in the mainstream so it’s easier access for these kids. Generally metal is imploding due to these annoying sub genres and that’s why it will never take off. Your best bet is the most popular TV series in the world right now including Metallica and that might attract new fans but again, the “hardcore” metal community have a problem with that while complaining about how their favourite bands don’t get awards at the Grammies or any other mainstream awards show. I follow pages like loud wire that report on rock and metal and whenever a band is reported, it swarms more haters than fans
@@baileysmith4744 Gene Simmons would have his eyes ruined by all the Make-Up. And also, wet 100 dollar bill packs aren't as nice either. I guess, he'd sue the rain and then tell everybody, that KISS is more known to mankind than rain ever will be.
What's the difference between a big band and a legendary band? Korn canceling a HellFest show because of 3 drops of water. Metallica playing under a flood!!!
Oilid I’m sure that was the festivals choice that’s how they avoid lawsuits from bands just in case they get electrocuted they can’t say the festival made them play in the rain
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: show me another band that plays in a torrential rainstorm at such a high caliber that it sounds no different from when they are playing in perfect weather. There never has been and never will be another band like Metallica. This is just one of the countless reasons why Metallica is the greatest band of all time
My favourite band ever, hands down. Seeing them live in London absolutely cemented that and earned them a fan for life. Not that I wouldn't have been a life long fan before.
The fact that James can absolutely shred the guitar while belting out killer vocals will never cease to amaze me. People who don’t play guitar have no idea how fucking difficult that is
@@UnchainedEruption Can’t argue there. I’ve only been playing for two years or so, so I guess my claim on what’s difficult is very different from those who have been at it much longer than I have

To everyone who comes to this video after Stranger Things, welcome to the Metallica family. If you’ve never been in here before, enjoy the journey into the legends of Metal.
mannnnn i love late 90s - early 2000s rock and metal and cannot believe i've never given them a listen. this song is incredible and i wanna listen to the ablum now
i gotten into Metallica in the past month so yesterday when i heard this playing in stranger things i had a huge grin, so I can just imagine what the hardcore fans must feel like lol

Yep, same here. And I can relate - when I watch footage of them playing at the Loreley Festival 1985. My first Metallica gig. I am 57 now, but that was... unforgettable.
Honestly, the pause between the solo at 3:28 with the thunder barely hearable in the background is just, amazing. I can’t even describe it. God bless you all.

Just to ask. There were 2 tall towers on stage and I kept thinking, were they water jets or something. You know to bring down water on themselves as if nobody told them it's always raining here in Manchester lol
Weatherman: “There’s supposed to be heavy rain today.” Metallica: “You mean rain.” Weatherman: “Yes, heavy rain.” Metallica: “To us, it’s just rain. We make it heavy.”
This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.
Hear the great downpour Louder than before With his cord in hand To regale the land Crushing current strikes On this raining night Fall onto your knees For the phantom power lord!
Easily my favorite song by Metallica. I tear up at the end though thinking of all those we've lost to addiction. "I will occupy, I will help you die, I will run through you, now I rule you too. Man. Even those left behind are ruled by the loss.
@Oakie yes, as 'ancient ' as I am, still cool. But gotta say that without my younger wife and lots of friends a generation younger, I'd be way more clueless. Thanks young Padawan (Star Wars reference)
@@rgtemple thank you kindly. Not sure why, but at my age, I'll take it!. Was it th 9 years of military? One tour of Vietnam? Or that I escaped Minnesota winter to live in Baja Mexico?? Lol,thanks again
Absolutely the best live metal band in the world. Sweat can make those drum sticks wet with sweat. I've had them fly out of my hands a few times. Now rain big props to Lars. A bad ass drummer.
I ran into him at a San Francisco Giants game once. Just a normal guy. He seemed familiar for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards I realized who it was.
James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.
@@johnnysinger3353 you're crazy if you think Lars isn't an integral piece of everything they've done. Even if yes, technically lacking as a drummer, he's played a massive role in the composition/arrangement off all their music.
As it as already been said, but I'll say it again : I don't know if people realise how well they played considering it was pouring rain. Water on strings glide well too much and it's becoming hell to play right. The fact that they played it without missing notes is incredible and show how skilled they are. Because it does recquire some strong stamina to play this song, and they did it with Rain all along. What a band.
yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.
I was at this gig and in between songs you could see them walking behind the drum to shake their arms to fling as much water off as possible before the next song. Everyone was drenched but it was an awesome night!
As a lifelong Metallica fan disillusioned by some of their more recent stuff, listening to Kill Em All the whole way up to this without hearing Hardwired.. I was very, very pleasantly surprised..
This performance is perfect they didn't miss a beat and its pissing out of the heavens.. the rain actually makes it look better...Thats experience right there... Legends...
I was here at this gig and the funny thing is that it was actually scorching hot just before they'd come on, but it started pissing it down not long after they hit the stage
Quite pleased to be able to say that i was at the most bad ass version of Master of Puppets ever recorded. The rain, Metallica on form, the atmosphere. It was an epic gig 🤟🏼
The thing about James' downpicking is not the speed, is maintaining that speed, with a perfect precision and efficiency But he still does downpick faster than my alternate since I'm a beginner hahaha
Muhammad Irsyazman it is not cheating imo. They have been doing this over 35 years and after all these years, they got old. It is incredible that they still do concerts actually. It must be very tiring for them. Such legends!
This is why they are at another music level. Not because of the amazing creativity to write songs or ther instruments techniques. They are Metallica because of how their feelings towards music. It is raining, all right, let's play.
when Kirk is on, he can rip through solos with the best of them. he gets a lot of shit, but I've seen enough metal bands live to know that a lot of lead guitarists don't come close to perfectly replicating their studio solos.
I'm guessing people outside the stadium must be hearing the crowd roaring "Master! Master!" and thinking 'Man... I wish I was inside" Metallica fan or not.
You're not a legit metal band if you haven't performed under the rain. Commendations for the technical team for the proper grounding of their equipments or else Metallica would definitely be riding the lightning ⚡
James in 86' never could imagine he would make a guitar from his garage's wood and play one of his best live performances during a heavy rain in Manchester 2019 with it
When Prince performed at the Super Bowl, it was raining while he played Purple Rain. They told him before he went on that it was raining, he asked could they make it rain harder, like him or not, he was 5' 2" of badass.
@@xx_waturb_xxxx1673 Seattle 89 is just their most popular and most viewed performance cause it was their fastest performance imo. Kinda like how ppl say Moscow 91 is their best sandman playing, however I feel like other concerts they did better.
@@shoesr21 one thing that was the best from that concert is the performance of Creeping Death. Nothing else comes close. I notice 0 mistakes during the solo, and really anything else.
@@pancon5 why do you care? Why do any of you care? I'll never understand why so many commenters give a shit about what people at a concert that was already recorded are doing. Dont like people who tape on their phones? Don't go.
Lars smacking the life out of the drums and just seeing rain fly everywhere is badass
Dry Lars plays pretty good. But wet Lars plays similar to 90's Lars. 🤘
Drums are still acoustic even tho they’re being processed from the PA. If he doesn’t hit the drums hard they wouldn’t sound right. Every drummer sounds different for this reason.

Yep Prince.
I was there and I can confirm how much it rained and it never stopped; I was soaked. The guys were amazing to play through it.
The most impressive thing in this entire performance is that James and Kirk didn’t drop their pick while it’s pouring
the best down stroke picking that i ever know... with heavy distortion
Yeah!
Bro, I drop my pick even though I'm playing motorbreath
@@thebiggusdonnus8453 yea, and motorbreath isn't even that fast, I haven't dropped my pick once while playing master of puppets
And they're fingers haven't slipped go play the wrong notes either🤯
With the rain on his drums, Lars actually looked fckn cool.

And played perfectly - just like Kirk. Awesome 👍👍👍

The solo was perfect!!! When you thought you knew everything about Metallica you discover they play even better in heavy rain. Amazing.
It isnt just heavy rain. Its Mancunian Heavy Rain. The drops need to be the size of 50 cal bullets.

Their playing this in the rain like that is iconic. Fuckin incredible. Unphased. Looks cool coming off the drums.
Typical sunny English weather.
Shout out to all the techs who know how to ground all the sound equipment properly.
Same thought! Not something most would think about but definitely well done!
This is a major feat. Seriously. Amazing job by the techs. If anyone is aware of how difficult it can be to properly ground something with small voltage (mic), yet alone an amp, it is a total bitch. They are all using new tech but, old amps and old mics are infamous for being dangerous. Tons of the older musicians have had accidents with it, and a few musicians have actually died on stage due to electrocution. A major problem can occur when a guitar, ran into an amp is on a current 1 and the mic circuit is on current 2 - if one prick of the guitar string touches the mic stand or if the mouth of the player touches the mic, electrocution occurs. Keith Richards actually got blown across the stage in the 70s, and Ace Frehley of Kiss wrote the song "Shock Me" about being electrocuted and being knocked their stage staircase.
Hear the great downpour
Louder than before

Easily my favorite song by Metallica. I tear up at the end though thinking of all those we've lost to addiction. "I will occupy, I will help you die, I will run through you, now I rule you too. Man. Even those left behind are ruled by the loss.
Only regret is that I didn't start listening to METALLICA until I was in my 50's. Now at 70 I'm still headbanging, but only until 9pm at bedtime. ROFL

Absolutely the best live metal band in the world. Sweat can make those drum sticks wet with sweat. I've had them fly out of my hands a few times. Now rain big props to Lars. A bad ass drummer.
I sometimes wonder, does Hetfield ever realize how actually epic and cool he is. A fucking Legend.
I was just thinking the same thing
Truth...🙏
I ran into him at a San Francisco Giants game once. Just a normal guy. He seemed familiar for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards I realized who it was.
James is Metallica. His voice is what makes Metallica sound like Metallica. They’ve gone thru bass players. I think they could replace Lars and be ok. He hasn’t done much to sound unique from a technical perspective since Justice. I know he writes with James but I think James could do it alone. I think there are other guitarist who could ape Kirk enough to pull it off. I hope it never happens but I feel like other members could be replaced. for me James is the heart of the band.
@@johnnysinger3353 you're crazy if you think Lars isn't an integral piece of everything they've done. Even if yes, technically lacking as a drummer, he's played a massive role in the composition/arrangement off all their music.
I’ve been a Metallica fan since 1989 and thanks to Stranger things my 14 year old daughter wants to come to the Pittsburgh show in August!
That's awesome. Hope more tv series use songs from our generation so the young ones can be introduced to the songs of our youth.

As it as already been said, but I'll say it again : I don't know if people realise how well they played considering it was pouring rain. Water on strings glide well too much and it's becoming hell to play right. The fact that they played it without missing notes is incredible and show how skilled they are. Because it does recquire some strong stamina to play this song, and they did it with Rain all along.
What a band.
yeah for sure, the bass is constantly busy and all of those downpicks in the rain must be hell to deal with. Not to mention poor Lars, you know how uncomfortable being in wet jeans is? I couldn't imagine sitting there, with your thigh as the biggest surface, trying to keep the sticks in your hand and moving in soaking wet tight denim/whatever he has on. Definitely a masterclass.
And played at 1.5X speed aswell is just incredible
I was at this gig and in between songs you could see them walking behind the drum to shake their arms to fling as much water off as possible before the next song. Everyone was drenched but it was an awesome night!
Makes it that much more badass
@@ac8785 couldn't agree more

I was here at this gig and the funny thing is that it was actually scorching hot just before they'd come on, but it started pissing it down not long after they hit the stage
so true man 😂
Forget about rain.Metallica rides the lightning!
Quite pleased to be able to say that i was at the most bad ass version of Master of Puppets ever recorded. The rain, Metallica on form, the atmosphere. It was an epic gig 🤟🏼
When you realise that James Hetfields downpicking is faster than your alternate picking.
The thing about James' downpicking is not the speed, is maintaining that speed, with a perfect precision and efficiency
But he still does downpick faster than my alternate since I'm a beginner hahaha
Dont forget about kirk downpicking. He keep up with james for years. Not gonna lie, sometimes James “cheat” to give the mic to the crowd.
Muhammad Irsyazman it is not cheating imo. They have been doing this over 35 years and after all these years, they got old. It is incredible that they still do concerts actually. It must be very tiring for them. Such legends!
Tuna Yücer yeah i know man. That’s why use word “cheating” instead of cheating😉.
@@muhammadirsyazman8389 yeah people seem to forget that kirk is actually also playing everything with downpicking.
I was almost convinced the rain was part of the set design. How cool did that look though
I thought. The something..lo
Same
Ikr!!!!
Nope just england for you XD
the fact that at almost every show the audience sings the lyrics and the freakin solos shows how great they are
This is why they are at another music level. Not because of the amazing creativity to write songs or ther instruments techniques. They are Metallica because of how their feelings towards music. It is raining, all right, let's play.
Damn! Kirk was in such fire during the solo that even rain couldn't extinguish him.
Yeah, that solo was flawless
I like it
when Kirk is on, he can rip through solos with the best of them. he gets a lot of shit, but I've seen enough metal bands live to know that a lot of lead guitarists don't come close to perfectly replicating their studio solos.
