Metallica is best served live. Always awesome. Every show kills. I am old guard. First time I saw them was Puppets Tour 86 in Montreal. Seen them 8 times now and they are still the metal militia. Nice to see it spans generations during a time where many say rock or metal is dead. What's good is good. Glad I grew up when I did. They are legends.
Like you, I saw them in 86 at the Orpheum with Cliff. It was life-changing. Sundays show was my 17th and I was very impressed with the energy both nights for guys that are six years older than me. They can still kick ass. And yes, we grew up in the greatest era ever No cell phones thank God.
Couldn't say better!!!.........Not gonna lie though I miss the eighties when I was young, they were young and full of FIRE, PISS, AND VINEGAR🤣, Those concerts were ELECTRIC and couldn't hear the next day in English class cause ears were still bleeding 😂😂😂😂🤘🤘
I love how the one venue security guy was digging it but trying to look professional and serious. Awesome show, hoping they will do an outdoor venue somewhere here in the near-ish future.
James jamming out puffing his cigar and surveying the crowd….he’s truly the man! I was at both nights and had an unforgettable absolutely mind blowing time
Watching James here while Im half way through a joint has me back in memory. Old school fans will relate.... I remember being 12, 13 yrs old with my room covered in Metallica pictures and posters collected from metal mags. James and Cliff were almost scary in some pics and posters that I had. I remember wondering what happened for them to be making those faces LOL. The metal magazines were awesome. We waited every month for a new one for the pictures, a poster, news, information and interviews. Circus, Hit Parader, Metal Edge, Kerrang, RIP and others. I forget which magazine it was at the time but its how my buddy and I first heard about Cliff and the accident. I didnt listen to the radio, there was no same day news about Metallica back then. My point... in memory.... those were some of the best times of my life so far. Im over 50 now and still a die hard, like it was planted within because I was young when I first got into music and Metallica. Good times.. I have to relight my joint now and finish er off. Peace.
lmao!! yer a poser dude. all u did was google all yer info becuz just about every thrash fan true fans hate modern metallica. they died for sum after master and the second wave fans died in justice😂😂
Awesome memory recount. I bought every one of those magazines at the same ages for years to get any article, small picture like an 8x10 or special larger one. I still have most of them. 1 pager, 2 pager, 4 pager and the holy grail 8 pager. This was in a small Canadian town of 2000 people. Cool to know there were others doing the same.
Tbh I tell people it’s the worst concert venue probably in the United States. If you sent close to the stage all you get is boom/echo flat out terrible acoustics.
@blake350z….funny you say this as I thought the acoustics were terrible and we were sitting in section 214. And while it was our first time seeing a show here , we saw the Detroit show last year at Ford Field and it just sounded much better, for every band that played the weekend. Nevertheless though we had a good time, it was fuckin Metallica !
So bummed I had to miss this run… but MAN! Metallica live, nothing like it, and I’m happy to have experienced it several times. I’ll catch em next time. Also love that even though they’re “promoting” the new album…. “Fuck it, let’s open with Whiplash!” Their setlists NEVER disappoint
Mr. Hetfield, I Need You To Know That Whenever You Feel Down My Friend Remember This... You Changed The World With Your Music. That's No Small Feat. In Fact There Are Only A Handfull Of People Since Time Began That Can Say They Did. Bravo! And Stay Strong. You Are Loved ALL OVER The World...Most Importantly... "You Are Never Alone!" Much Love My Friend.... I Have Been A Fan Since You Began Metallica.
Well stated. I'm another old fan who started listening to them in the mid 80's. Metallica is ingrained in who I am as a person and this band will never know the impact that it has had on my life. I served on Active duty for 25 years and their music got me through many long and difficult deployments. They're almost an extension of my family in some strange way. I'm in my mid 50's now and saw them in Foxborough a few weeks ago. James made a comment that they do this shit for us! Well, James we appreciate you and what Metallica has been doing for 4 decades now and in return we the fans show up for you! It would be cool if they read any of these comments. By the way I thought this was the best they've ever sounded live. You can tell they're all taking good care of themselves and making the right choices. Metallica is fucking amazing! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@jamess3532Respect your service and I thank you deeply for it. But if this is the best they ever sounded to you then you must not have seen them play for the first ten years of their career. Either way. All respect to you for your sacrifice and your served duty.
@@djshad1885 That's funny. Until the 72 seasons tour the very last time I saw Metallica was in 1989 during their AJFA tour with Queensryche backing them up. prior to that was with them backing Ozzy during the M.O.P. tour. They were amazing back then which is what got me into them. I thought they sounded better than ever and I stand by that comment.
I love them. They are so precious and bad ass at the same time. And I guarantee you that security has a longer playlist now. That’s how I extended my playlist working at an arena.
I have to get on board with this and say that even though I have never been to a concert or met them, James in particular has had such an impact on me and my life. His ability to have been open about his struggles and his vulnerable attitude along with my favorite song, BLEEDING ME!!! He is a hero icon and legendary human all rolled in to 1
Amazing to see Metallicas impact after all these years..Followed them since 1984 first saw them live in September 86 at Newcastle Mayfair with Anthrax a week before the tragic accident and 6 times since. The first ticket cost was 5 quid!!. Cheers for posting and look forward to seeing them live again soon
I love watching this guy prep before going on stage, he has the same routine as always; takes a few puffs out of a cigar (nicotine calm), puts some hand sanitizer on, get pumped to the background music, pumps the crowd up a bit.
Papa Het gave my (then) 9 yo son a fist bump upon exiting at the St Louis concert last November. I just wish we had caught a photo. Such a kind guy, as I know he must have been exhausted at the end of the two night series. Considering going for a repeat in 2025; it was so good!!! ❤❤
I was there for both nights. Listen, if you’re a fan of Metallica and you haven’t seen them in a live show yet, you’re missing out. You haven’t seen nothin yet!
I went to St. Louis last year and saw them with Pantera. Amazing show!! It was the 3rd time I've seen Metallica. IMO this latest show was the best. MetallicA are better than ever.
Three years before these concerts I could not walk…RA ravished my knees. I got them replaced. Three years later…Four rows from the stage, GA, both shows. Yes, I paid for it for a week…But standing for hours to see one of my fav bands play live is up there with having my kids as one of my proudest moments. It was unbelievable.
Old school here, I've been listening to Metallica since I was a kid and man I love them, if something happens to one of them I'm going to cry my eyes out. 🤙💪😎
Best part of this vid…watch all the black dudes working security in the red shirts once Metallica starts playing. None of them probably listen to metal or have probably ever listened to Metallica yet their heads start banging ever so slightly…that’s the beauty of Metallica my friends 🤘🏻.
I saw them on 2022 at the hard rock. It was a tribute concert to the zazula family who signed them to their first record deal. They only played songs off of KIA and RTL. even played breadfan and am I evil.
I gotta say, being in that snake pit with my gf was more than I could ask for! We were star struck. Lars is why I started drumming. Including this show, a total of only 6 times seeing them so far. Man they gave me goosebumps! “We WILL be back very fucking soon.” -Lars
Yeah I agree man i wonder if when he plays shows like this and looks at the crowds if he just remembers how big of a band they were and still are a lot of partying and he’s still alive same with Phil anselmo from pantera a lot of heroin that guy did and to still be here is a miracle because it’s a miracle for us ex heroin addicts to still be here 20 years of Iv heroin use for me now proud to say 31 months sober living in the twin cities and at peace I can finally just chill work come home and know I’m still here living
If I went to see them today for nostalgia, expecting to hear a bunch of new stuff i don't know and they opened with Whiplash I think I'd have a heart attack
Great show. Quite an amazing spectacle, and I thought they sounded good. Unfortunately, The Bank as a venue was pretty bad. Sound quality is not good there. Very echoey. All in all though, it was a great night!

thank God.
Old live Metallica is some of the best music on earth. I wish I could say the same about their newer stuff, but I just can't.
I hear they are going to tour with Lady Gaga or perhaps a duet album with Taylor Swift!
😂😂😂

I can assume neither of these guys knows Metallica, but the guy on the left is getting pulled in by the crowd participation.
Why you say that they probably don't know Metallica? Cuz they're black? Cuz i agree@@josephthornton8560
Haha I noticed that too. He was head bangin' as much as he was allowed to lol
He will definitely be on the other side of the barricade next time
Edmonton Canada show is outdoors

It’s amazing that you’ve stuck to your roots all this long. Keep goin’ Bob.

Me too. But this was rlly fun to see ❤
He is a humble man now! Been thru alot! A 15 year old boy starting his life! Raised on his own!
Jason was doing that in the 90s
Did you have on a metallica shirt?
@@seas1nbv318 me?
I was there for both nights! It was amazing
Nice video, thanks for posting it. Hetfield is a cool dude engaging with fans as part of his show prep, some of these guys just get it.
I was there, I actually went to both nights and it was amazing
Same I liked the wave on Sunday

WAS THERE ALL NIGHT BOTH NIGHTS!!! FIRST EVER SHOWS
the Boss/monster/ icon/ legend live ...james hetfiled great perfomance always
I WAS HERE!🤘🤘🤘
Cant believe its been just over a year now since i seen them in montreal
This is amazing!
I love watching this guy prep before going on stage, he has the same routine as always; takes a few puffs out of a cigar (nicotine calm), puts some hand sanitizer on, get pumped to the background music, pumps the crowd up a bit.
Saw them Friday and sunday in gillette they sounded great!!
Whiplash intro never gets old. Always explosive \m/
Old school listener here from the 80’s. Every time I see James smoking a cigar I just wish I could sit and smoke one with him
I was there too. But in the 300 ish section. Fantastic view
YES IT WAS A GREAT VIEW!!!
First time I saw them play this live was 83 Chicago Metro Kill Em All tour seen them 22 times since then
Papa Het gave my (then) 9 yo son a fist bump upon exiting at the St Louis concert last November. I just wish we had caught a photo. Such a kind guy, as I know he must have been exhausted at the end of the two night series. Considering going for a repeat in 2025; it was so good!!! ❤❤
A song you wrote when you were a teen.And now you open a show with that song.After all the credits that received.!That is success.
I'll never forget 1990 first time I heard the song One on MTV it's crazy 34 years later and they still to this day kill it 🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘🤘
Whiplash 🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥
I was there for both nights. Listen, if you’re a fan of Metallica and you haven’t seen them in a live show yet, you’re missing out. You haven’t seen nothin yet!
Saw them 1 year earlier in Dallas.. just a sick show all around.
Can't wait to see everyone in December LA CA USA ❤❤❤
I went to St. Louis last year and saw them with Pantera. Amazing show!! It was the 3rd time I've seen Metallica. IMO this latest show was the best. MetallicA are better than ever.

What a great fking song to open a Metallica concert to. They've always been so good mixing up their set list for tours. Thank you Lars.

It's in their job contract, they are doing a job and committed, not like most Americans
Sorry you don’t know many black dudes that love metal but there are thousands of us everywhere! Music is universal!
@@captainsiv5746 True that! And yes I only know of a few personally.
We are lucky because we can see them live.
Metallica members are great, but how good is their team! Respect!
I love this band. Greetings to everyone from Europe.
The Naughty Northern ( of Minnesota ) Loves U !!! Brought his 16 yr old daughter !!! 🎶💜🎶🌟to see u Legends 👍👍🎤🎤🎉
Anyone else see the dudes dressed as bananas moshing all night?
You bet. They were entertaining to watch as they moshed. Both nights were awsome. Too bad Five Finger didn't play a whole set though.
They were going HARD both nights! Very entertaining from up top, to bad the echo was terrible in that venue.
The bananas were legends 😂
Hell yea, was funny to watch them bounce around.
yup!!
Best stage ever created for any concert ever. This is the way!
Love this guy‼️✨🎸😉. . .
My 2nd and 3rd shows. The best
Yes sir fucking epic shit. What a time to be alive.
He looks good for a 61 years old!
Legend. When we were kids, he was a young adult. Now we're middle aged and he's still at it. Papa Het!
A living legend.
Tipazo 👏👏👌👌
Feels like they have 34 time signatures and 78 tempos in the Whiplash.
Hettfield rocking the grey nicely in Minnesota.
"So bad ass!" I agree.
🔥🤘
That intro, awesome. They never come to Miami Florida. 😢😢😢😢😢 greatest band ever❤
I saw them on 2022 at the hard rock. It was a tribute concert to the zazula family who signed them to their first record deal. They only played songs off of KIA and RTL. even played breadfan and am I evil.
This must feel like getting ready for war!
LIVING LEGEND

The coolest ❤
Just saw this gig outdoors in Edmonton. We did not fill our 60,000 seat stadium for the guys but we tried. Night 1 down: Bring on Sunday!!
This was my first ever Metallica concert, and let me say. It sure as hell won’t be the last after that
What a legend
James❤️🔥❤️🔥🖤💛🫶🫶❤️❤️
i love you metallicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Love that Minnie Fans show respect to pre show process

I have seen them 4 times and I don't care that I still get the chills and emotions like it's the first time I'm seeing them live.
Guy is a legend
Hetfield is our Rolling Stones in terms of competent longevity.
Dude knows he made it in life
James Hetfield ... what a cool guy!
Love ❤ metálica ❤❤❤ James querido ❤❤❤❤

Bad ass Concert
If I went to see them today for nostalgia, expecting to hear a bunch of new stuff i don't know and they opened with Whiplash I think I'd have a heart attack
The solo on Whiplash is the best solo hands down
Great show. Quite an amazing spectacle, and I thought they sounded good.
Unfortunately, The Bank as a venue was pretty bad. Sound quality is not good there. Very echoey.
All in all though, it was a great night!
You are not mistaken, saw them in Detroit last November and the sound quality was much better. The sad part is there’s no excuse for it.
Why aren't the crowds going nuts? It's 'Whiplash!'
Security looking professional while ROCK'N OUT!!!
