If you're technically a 2 year old band and The crowd is humming the intro of your song in a Foreign country ,Its safe to assume that You have arrived and will stay there.
yes--I'm amazed they were so huge in other countries so--early--but I had Norwegian exchange student friend in 1989 who helped me get into Metallica--most of my peers and classmates didn't even know how to pronounce the name---Metal--licker? The guy could even play the stuff in the band room--I was impressed--so my early exp with Metallica was through a foreign exchange student from Norway.
@@Nissardpertugiu definitely not the opening track of the show though. This was the encore which makes it crazy that they're still playing at that speed
Its all about what energy level youre experiencing before/while performing a live jam, which you could imagine is hype af. Especially with intoxicants pulsing through your veins, and at the beginning and end of your set. Youre trying to make an impression and satisfy yourself, but sometimes you feel so charged that the normal tempo wont cut it. Also depends on who might start the tempo first and others just follow. If a band is tight, they can adjust tempo while playing. Everyone kinda relys on each other to stay in check, but its such a energetic atmosphere sometimes you cant help it.
I played in a heavy metal band, I must say after few beers it was rather calming me, personally, my nerves etc., but today if I were to play live again, I wouldn't "intoxicate" myself anymore. Music would do :)
That's exactly what I was thinking man!!!! Like 30 years ago. I must say that I have never heard Lars play more tight and angry... Shit this is so fucked and good. They are hungry here, striking for more👍🤟🍺🤟🤟🍺🍺♥️
Lars ripping on the double bass! Considering how long ago this was, his drumming was quite extreme. Sure, Slayer had Hell Awaits, and new bands like Possessed and Dark Angel were starting to push the envelope, but Lars’ drumming was still very, very impressive for 1985. I love this clip!!
People often criticize Lars based on his playing from the 90s up until today, and forget that in the 80s he was a total fucking beast, and at that time he was considered a elite metal drummer. Maybe not because of his technical ability, but easily because of his aggression and extreme energy on stage.
and yet i still hear people out there giving him crap for it. he is an insande drummer that does what needs to be done. also trapped under ice is a good example.
@@gregorydavis9691 yes, he's one of my favorite drummers. I taught myself how to play drums back in the 90s drumming along to the black album, justice, and s&m. Even though his playing drives me nuts now.😒
@@james4life905 Not really hard to do. Any guy that plays metal the deserves to have a mic in front of him can do a 4 word quick growl. Not like have to do recreate morbid angel or something.
Anth bobo Now, I'm usually the guy to worship Cliff because he is one of the greatest bassists, technically, ever, but I honestly prefer Jason's vocals
Jason had the best backing vocals in the history of the band. Cliff may have been more talented and had a lot more to do with the success of Metallica, and overall has an untouchable legacy, but Jason is honestly my favorite Metallica bass player.
I love the way Lars was positioned and backlit in these old days. He had a great stage presence despite the fact that you couldn’t really see him. And he was a proper drummer too.
@@TheAgentAssassin people always talk about late 80's Metallica, when they were already selling out arenas...... but I would love to see them with Mustaine and Cliff...... people who witnessed that, already knew, these guys are going places
It is scary---for someone raised on Bach Etudes, Judy Collins and Chuck Mangione LPs--ScArY! These long haired beasts--are frantically throbbing their electric guitars and the lead guy is screaming like a banshee--and when you consider what was normally on TV and radio at the time--think Ann Murrary, Tiffany, Belinda Carlisle, and Steve Miller band--this was insane. And--it wasn't just rock drums and guitars as usual--the compositions matched the scary style and look--finally----a band that actually sounded like the album cover. Example: Molly Hatchet has a badass cover (Frank Frazetta death rider) but sounded like a Nascar race mixed with Good Ole Boys. And other bands also were just cliche rock chords---Metallica--Cliff mostly--wrote on a higher level---and the sound matched the scary artwork. Unlike---um, Dokken or I don't even want to say--other bands always sounded like BS blues cliche jams.
His backing vocals were evil and fit Metallica so well. On Ride parts like this and the Die chant in Creeping Death were done by the whole band, but you can clearly hear this style from Cliff. I much prefer his backing vocals to Jason who is just all throat.
Read reply all but one or two people who obviously take this as a reason to hate on Metallica. Why can't these guys be as bad and fast a s before they say. Well different members and they getting older..........Do you still like the music? I fuckin do 40 years in and I still say early and new Metallica will pretty much cover your needs.
3:57 Cliff... I will always wonder. If Master of puppets was a master piece. what would have been of the fourth, fifth and sixth album if you were still alive. I will always admire you.
I wonder too but Metallica would of had another drummer lol Cliff and James both agreed that by the end of the Damage Inc. tour in 86 Lars was gonna get the boot. But since Cliff died, they settled with Lars. 2 years later they came out with ...And Justice For All, some of Lars's best drumming and Metallica's heaviest album. But I also love Jason, so I'm inbewteen a rock and a hard place because of course I wish Cliff was still here but they had some great moments after. I just wish Metallica would have broken up in 95, Load and Reload basically ruined Metallica's legacy for everyone and only 10 years after Cliff left. But honestly, Death Magnetic and Hardwired present some fine moments that easily resembles Metallica's 80s heyday. Unlike Load and Reload which just sounds like a completely different band.
+donaldrocks101103 yeah Lars is the one who started the band and gave it it's name.... he's the one who put the add in the newspaper that James seen. Lars wasn't going anywhere or he would have sued the shit out of em.
+John - don't forget AIDS! No one knew how the hell you could get it back then. I wasn't sure if just normal guy/girl sex was even safe. There was a few times I decided against it because I wasn't sure where the chick had been. :)
Goddamn, they played with so much intensity, speed, presence and power. They were the real deal, the total package. I was 11 when I first discovered them back in 1984. I was a HUGE fan. Used to call my local radio stations every week and beg them to play Whiplash. These dudes had a punk mentality with metal edge. I ate that shit up with a spoon. Loved every single thing they put out. Cliff died, I was devastated. Never thought they would bounce back. When And Justice For All came out, their attitude shifted a bit, but still heavy. I absolutely loved it. Then the Black album happened. Of course it was a great album. Nobody's denying that they were still insanely great. But they had made it bigger than any metal band, getting played on Top 40 stations. Their mystique forever gone. This video transported me and brought back the excitable kid in me who absolutely idolized these guys. Nostalgia just sucker punched the fuck out of me. 😂
crona cronup Nowadays James: *FASTER* *FASTER* *FASTER* *FASTER* Robert: I wonder which song I’ll do my crab walk on Kirk: I just flubbed a note, fuckit! Lars: Can we play a different song?
This was before the summer of 86, when it seemed every other car on the road was blasting Puppets. Metallica was still this blistering unknown band that nobody knew about. Our little secret. In 1985 the only pics I had of them was on the back of my Kill Em All record. So when U saw them for the first time in 85 (Day on the Green Oakland, CA) I was like, "They've got acne like me!!" It was just beyond awesome to seem them live them.
I was sad when the secret got out but it was exciting to see them in an arena opening for Ozzie on the Puppets tour after that we had to share them with everyone .
@@vasvas8914disposable heroes is overrated as shit. sure the riffs are amazing but the song is 8 fucking minutes long. it should have been like 5. that way it would have been better
They were young, they were angry, they were hungry. See 2:40. This is what made them grow so much and this is why they can't produce at the same level anymore. They are older, balanced and rich now. I can't blame them, at least they are humans. But still the gods of metal imo.
Totally, they "lost" that angry at the middle of 90', when they fully convert to rich and fathers. And they never lies to us, their music was always true to what their feel, young angry at 80', mature rock at 90/00, and pure enjoy right now. Is life and is perfect. I dont want a band that make "angry music" when they are totally happy. I miss this acttitude and rage, but now we are all different. After see this video, im waiting to see a Andre Rieu with the autor of "Mambo No 5" video...
This was the song that amplified the aggression and the angst that I felt my entire youth. If it wasn’t for Metallica my life would never be the same. Thank you
That was the first time I've seen this, The most beautiful thing I have heard or seen and I will continue to find more. Whoever is putting out this footage of CLIFF! GOD BLESS YOU! MAY CLIFF LIVE FOREVER! MUSIC NEEDS HIM!
I bought "KILL EM ALL" when it was released...I was like...what the hell is this...it was almost shocking. After I listened to it for a few times...it grew on me big time, and then everyone started listening to these guys.
Я тоже в 1988м купил кассету, с альбомом Kill em All, где бонусом было несколько треков из другого альбома, Creeping death и несколько песен Diamond Head
The greatest band in the world. What could have been if Cliff had still been around. This was the 1st metal song I had ever heard back in 84. Still remember that night...
@@Liviopedata hi there! No, not this concert but saw Metallica back in 1985. Right before Master of Puppets came out. We were all in AWE of them at that time. I’m a fossil, lol so I was fortunate to witness so many amazing concerts of that era. 1978-1985 were amazing years for heavy metal rock and roll.
you definitely dont know who slayer is lol thats just blashphemy and stupidity kirk hammett said himself that slayer was more extreme than them look at ritz 86, dynamo 1985, studio 45 1985 and the WHOLE reign in blood or hell awaits album and come back with that bullshit slayer was possessed in the 80s no one like em in terms of intensity and furiousity as much as i like metallica slayer make em look like lil ass boys
Can you imagine the look on the kids faces in the crowd? Like, "How is that possible?" "What the Fuck are we watching?" Brutal, vicious, speed and FORCE! Just melting your face off!
No, but he was instrumental in creating the good songs. That says more about musicianship than accurate technique. Metallica had a feel, the feel wasn't supposed to be perfect, but it was Metallica. Their new music took a dive after Cliff died because he was a main force behind what they did up to Master of Puppets. You can go watch a cover band with 'accurate' players but it doesn't mean much because they are playing something someone else made.
The single song that got me into Metallica, into metal, into music in general. I really wish they'd bring back some of that contrast of Thrash/Classical
I miss the Metallica of this era. For about two years in the late 80s I pretty much listened to nothing but Metallica. It was Ride The Lightning through which I discovered them. Still seeing them later this year.
The all together progression,and attitude and the pure ferocity of lightning..is so.evident in this performance...they were truly a unit who oitshined kill em all...then to.puppets and justice...evolution peaked on the black album...they conquered thrash by '89!!!!
Witnessed this in Austin Texas 1985 at the old City Coliseum. The only thing missing here is the stage-divers. We had shit-loads of punks at the show and no stage barrier. Cliff even helped a few up onstage it was mayhem and looking back one of the best shows I've been to. Cliff was a special dude hee made the crowd go nuts!
Shows were general admission then. About $15 to 18 for a ticket. No chairs on the floor. No assigned seating anywhere. If you were front row you were touching the stage. A year after this they toured with Ozzy, the crowd would sway when he walked to the far side of the stage and very quickly you would be 20 or 30 feet away from where you were just standing. During Metallica a mosh pit took up a nice circular chunk of the floor. The "security" and yes sometimes people onstage would help worn out people get out of the crushed front rows during the show. Back half of the floor quite a bit calmer. Still felt like a free country back then, instead of rules for 4 year olds. Like piling people in the open bed of a pick up truck and driving to the lake was still perfectly normal and ok.
Yes it is overrated, everybody talks about it as the ''best metallica's concert''. You better listen to Quebec 86', Zwolle 90' or as I said (Stoned balloon 89 they played HIT THE LIGHTS, PHANTOM LORD, MOTORBREATH and DAMAGE INC.)
Already watched them three times, own even more than 20 recordings and I'll see them at the Sacramento AFTERSHOCK 2020 show!!! They are & they'll always be the Lords of THRASH METAL!!!! FOREVER!!!!

Love how James starts at a decent tempo then Lars goes “nah brotha, we’ll pick that shit up to a 1000”. Everyone just follows
Lars at this time was quite nervous apparently, and sped up the tempo like most nervous musicians do. Which in this genre, is actually a good thing.
back when Lars could play a million miles an hour

The song is literally already almost at 200bpm in the studio version and these guys literally sped it up to 125%. Endurance.

Burton's headbanging is hypnotic
Back in the day when Metallica was ferocious! Good times!
Yeah, hard to understand why kids in the late teens/early 20’s had more energy then when those same guys are ALMOST 60!!! SMFH
They were young, they were angry, they were hungry. See 2:40. This is what made them grow so much and this is why they can't produce at the same level anymore. They are older, balanced and rich now. I can't blame them, at least they are humans. But still the gods of metal imo.
What a load of bollocks. It's called being young and full of energy.
Totally, they "lost" that angry at the middle of 90', when they fully convert to rich and fathers. And they never lies to us, their music was always true to what their feel, young angry at 80', mature rock at 90/00, and pure enjoy right now. Is life and is perfect. I dont want a band that make "angry music" when they are totally happy. I miss this acttitude and rage, but now we are all different. After see this video, im waiting to see a Andre Rieu with the autor of "Mambo No 5" video...
i agree somewhat, imo megadeth never ever lost it's edge like new metallica did.
this is awesome footage and i love it
Gerry Villemaire Go listen to risk. Megadeth lost their edge too.
What a LOAD of bullcrap, jk still love Metallica ❤️❤️❤️
Cliff made them so much heavier back then, his backup vocals sound very death metal inspiring.
In my opinion, he was Metallica. I stopped listing the day he died.
I said death metal inspiring, not death metal
Bret Armstrong u can barely hear him
Have you heard of Jason Newsted dude? Hands down the best backing vocals
Fuggler a la mode rob sucks tho
This is the very first song I ever heard from Metallica
Needless to say, I fell in love with them after hearing this
Fight fire with fire was needed on the Seattle '89 setlist soooo much.
Actually, Dyers Eve was.
@@russkate88 so real
that scared the shit out of me when james stared at the camera at 2:41!!
Lol Yes! I felt like I was busted for staring at him. I may have even looked away. 😁
Tallyca Hamulhetru
murphyjones100
it seems possessed
Bruno Luciano López Alegre Are you serious? He is possessed, possessed by HEAVY FUCKING METAL lol.
This was the song that amplified the aggression and the angst that I felt my entire youth. If it wasn’t for Metallica my life would never be the same. Thank you
That was the first time I've seen this, The most beautiful thing I have heard or seen and I will continue to find more. Whoever is putting out this footage of CLIFF! GOD BLESS YOU! MAY CLIFF LIVE FOREVER! MUSIC NEEDS HIM!
How I love this. It's good seeing Cliff. Thanks to whoever filmed this! \m/
I bought "KILL EM ALL" when it was released...I was like...what the hell is this...it was almost shocking. After I listened to it for a few times...it grew on me big time, and then everyone started listening to these guys.
This is from ride the lightning
How was your first impression hearing Ride The Lightning in that time ?
Я тоже в 1988м купил кассету, с альбомом Kill em All, где бонусом было несколько треков из другого альбома, Creeping death и несколько песен Diamond Head
@@aatefnazar6185 He didn't say this wasn't from RTL
RIP, front rows ears
RadiationRacoon exactly, Rock In Peice :3
Excellent song Metallica fight fire with fire 1980s Metallica
This must have been one of their very best shows - every single track was brilliantly performed at this location.
The greatest band in the world. What could have been if Cliff had still been around. This was the 1st metal song I had ever heard back in 84. Still remember that night...
Shon Jimenez you'd be able to hear the bass on the Justice album.
1:41 “ending is near AHHHHH!!”🤘🏼🤘🏼
that scream was classic hetfield
It will forever be printed in my heart ❤️
man its so good to actually hear the bass to this song, and cliff playing it on top of it!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I miss the 80's
A great reminder of why Metallica is SO great!!!
WAS
@doyledeth
Dude, just give up. It´s getting tired, it´s the same band today as it was in 85. Except Cliff, of course.
sergeanthetfield
I never take fanboys seriously.
Besides, I never said they sucked either.
Yessir
Ernesto Catalan Just to remind you that Megadeth is still better... 😃😃😃😃😃
james' voice. miss it.
abstractheory1

abstractheory1 Cliff's backing vocals...
Ankit Yadav
No. Not even close
On here he sounds like a 15 year old
So grateful I witnessed them during this time 1985. NO OTHER as heavy and in your face as the mighty METALLICA. All hail 🔥💀🔥
Did you saw them in 1985?
@@Liviopedatayep! They were phenomenal!!!
@@LisaBellaDonnaMusic you saw this gig of metal hammer? Or others?
@@Liviopedata hi there! No, not this concert but saw Metallica back in 1985. Right before Master of Puppets came out. We were all in AWE of them at that time. I’m a fossil, lol so I was fortunate to witness so many amazing concerts of that era. 1978-1985 were amazing years for heavy metal rock and roll.
@@LisaBellaDonnaMusic maybe Kabuki 1985 or donington you went it was golden times the end of 85 from donington till new years eve 31 december
If you’ve never heard it, look up Cliff’s isolated bass track for this song… and then imagine that being play at this tempo.
Now thats how you blow any other band off the stage for eternity.
Corpse Grinder
Back in the day when Metallica played balls out and fast. Pure fuckin thrash. The good ole days
El Debarge could give them a run --ruclips.net/video/cAQSZhazYk8/видео.html
Corpse grinder... I guess these days people are just taking a random picture off of Google as their profile pic lol
:*
the double bass is fast like dyers eve
imagine if Dyers Eve was on RTL lol
Mateus Cesário
it would suck due to the awful drum sound and mixing lol
double bass is fast like fight fire with fire.
hell no man! this is the fastest, fastest, of the fastest tallica's songs
I saw them in February of 85, I was in high school lol met the whole band, I’ll never forget that.🤘🏼
When Metallica was Metallica, the good ol’days. Man I miss the 80’s.
Arturo Almazan Another random Metal elitist comment
@Arturo Almazan people like you are why so many people look poorly on the metal community.
Yes, the 80's. I wish them back every second of my life.
Because i was a member of the front rows at this gig😉.
I would give up all tech to be back in the 80's.
Best gig with cliff?
Lars gets some stick off a lot of people, but he was an absolute beast.
Clinton McCutcheon he was
key word is "was". He wouldn't get shit if he could still play like this.
"Was"
He was incredible...
Clinton McCutcheon was....
This makes even 80's Slayer to look like glam rock.
What?
you definitely dont know who slayer is lol thats just blashphemy and stupidity kirk hammett said himself that slayer was more extreme than them look at ritz 86, dynamo 1985, studio 45 1985 and the WHOLE reign in blood or hell awaits album and come back with that bullshit slayer was possessed in the 80s no one like em in terms of intensity and furiousity as much as i like metallica slayer make em look like lil ass boys
Can you imagine the look on the kids faces in the crowd? Like, "How is that possible?" "What the Fuck are we watching?" Brutal, vicious, speed and FORCE! Just melting your face off!
you get it , thanks kid
I was 16 then and yes this was OUR music
How the hell did Cliff play so fast with two fingers?
Matthew Hoag cuz he is Cliff Burton dude
He was a classical pianist that learned Bach music from a young age. That helps.
It’s a skill that takes a lot to achieve.
He wasn´t the most accurate live bass player, big difference between him and Jason.
No, but he was instrumental in creating the good songs. That says more about musicianship than accurate technique. Metallica had a feel, the feel wasn't supposed to be perfect, but it was Metallica. Their new music took a dive after Cliff died because he was a main force behind what they did up to Master of Puppets. You can go watch a cover band with 'accurate' players but it doesn't mean much because they are playing something someone else made.
The single song that got me into Metallica, into metal, into music in general.
I really wish they'd bring back some of that contrast of Thrash/Classical
have you heard any of their new songs? They're actually pretty good and attempt to bring back thrash, and honestly, they've done a nice job :D
Ocelynx Prowler Yeah, thrash for sure. Maybe a little too thrash. I liked the contrast myself.
The thrash is back, but that classical music element is definitely missing.
Haha, yeah, agreed :D
***** Definitely one of my faves of their new album, I must say, I'm loving it right now.
I miss the Metallica of this era. For about two years in the late 80s I pretty much listened to nothing but Metallica. It was Ride The Lightning through which I discovered them. Still seeing them later this year.
The beginning before the song always sounds so beautiful and also the whole song
Metallica of today would be afraid of these guys
Rafael Rios- Rafinha! Lol
No
80s metallica open for modern metallica haha
Probably today´s Metallica would school them though
They still playing this to date. Sounds just as good if not better.
DAMN this might be one of the single greatest early Metallica clips I have ever seen!!! The good ol' days of early thrash!!
I've been reading Cliff's biography and watching these videos all over again is giving me all kinds of emotions.
Yeah my favorite album is ride the lightning, I'll never forget when I first heard this when I was a kid when it came out, absolutely powerful!
metronome = cocaine
Lars was playing out of his mind! Love it!
The all together progression,and attitude and the pure ferocity of lightning..is so.evident in this performance...they were truly a unit who oitshined kill em all...then to.puppets and justice...evolution peaked on the black album...they conquered thrash by '89!!!!
My first concert in Pennsylvania with Ozzy The Ultimate Sin tour!!!! Awesome times!!!! I was I think 16.
Witnessed this in Austin Texas 1985 at the old City Coliseum. The only thing missing here is the stage-divers. We had shit-loads of punks at the show and no stage barrier. Cliff even helped a few up onstage it was mayhem and looking back one of the best shows I've been to. Cliff was a special dude hee made the crowd go nuts!
klbj94fm nice lie you bitch
Shows were general admission then. About $15 to 18 for a ticket. No chairs on the floor. No assigned seating anywhere. If you were front row you were touching the stage. A year after this they toured with Ozzy, the crowd would sway when he walked to the far side of the stage and very quickly you would be 20 or 30 feet away from where you were just standing. During Metallica a mosh pit took up a nice circular chunk of the floor. The "security" and yes sometimes people onstage would help worn out people get out of the crushed front rows during the show. Back half of the floor quite a bit calmer. Still felt like a free country back then, instead of rules for 4 year olds. Like piling people in the open bed of a pick up truck and driving to the lake was still perfectly normal and ok.
The sound of the drums !!
kirks solo was hard to hear because of the sound quality, but metallica back then was just unstoppable. period.
I love these bands. Metallica and Megadeth. Both good for my ears. 💖
So lucky to have seen Metallica live back then!! 👍🏻
That was ridiculous when James and Kirk played that guitar harmony after the solo...effing perfect!!
I heard it for the first time when I was 13 years old, probably my favorite song that has no substitute until I die
Gracias por compartir esta hermosura.
I still remember hearing this song when I was 7 years old, my poor virgin ears couldn't take the pure metal!
Holy Shit The Best concert EVER!!!
+Invision Software. No! This concert is better.
+ajwasp yes, this concert is insane and brutal. The voice of James is better of all times in this tour.
hahaha Seattle 89 overrated. Listen to Stoned Balloon '89 the setlist is 1000 times better that Seattle
Yes it is overrated, everybody talks about it as the ''best metallica's concert''. You better listen to Quebec 86', Zwolle 90' or as I said (Stoned balloon 89 they played HIT THE LIGHTS, PHANTOM LORD, MOTORBREATH and DAMAGE INC.)
wtf are u saying? james voice is at its best during the justice tour we all know that
0:55 holy shit look at those fingers!
Already watched them three times, own even more than 20 recordings and I'll see them at the Sacramento AFTERSHOCK 2020 show!!!
They are & they'll always be the Lords of THRASH METAL!!!! FOREVER!!!!
