Bonus Facts: This show was officially billed as "CFH" (Cowboys From Hell) and not as "Pantera." Same with the merch. First Avenue Nightclub has 1500 capacity. It is the club where Prince recorded Purple Rain. It is widely considered one of the best run clubs in the country. Minnesotans love it. There are hundreds of stars with band names painted on the outside that bands dream of getting. As far as I can remember back to early 2000s, Pantera always had a star at First Avenue. Pantera played here in the Cowboys from Hell era. Phil said The Melvins were playing at the attached sister club, 7th St Entry, last time they played in 90s. In 2003, Metallica played this small club and did an autograph signing the night before they played Minnesota Twins stadium, The Metrodome. I couldn't go to Metallica autograph signing because it was 18+ and I wasn't 18 yet. Lol. I did go to the Metrodome show the next night. Check out my other videos and playlists for metal shows in the Twin Cities going back 15 years. 🤘
@@HorrorKidd88 Not very far at all... Only about 20 minutes by car from Minneapolis to towns around the lake.😉 I'm not too far from those purifying waters...
Robert seems like a dude that is everyone’s best friend/father of the year/can rip your face off if you mess with one of his loved ones. So, he’s awesome!
@@miked2721he really is. When he helped record AIC’s last 2 songs in ‘99 he took care of Layne and even cleaned up chocolate milk Layne spilled while nodding from his mid-recording heroin use. He’s rose through the ranks and has been a champ throughout.
Yeah and they sounded good.This sounds horrible.Saw Pantera live in Spain.The worst guitar sound i have ever heard.Zakk with Pride&Glory though.One of best live sounds ever!What happened?
Guess you never seen pics of Tool at the side of the stage watching Rage Against the Machine. Metal supports Metal. Also seen Kirk Hammett come on stage to play guitar for Kid Rock's American Bad Ass.
One of the biggest snobs and dirt balls. So let’s get this straight he left his family on Christmas to go murder a sleeping bear and then he goes singing with a Nazi. He’s the worst.
@@jeffreyrussell3012 You are wrong. It is a pantera non-pantera tribute weird situation. If he plays zakk wylde stuff then even not taking it like disrespect, it is a bad show. Skolnick did this with savatage and ok, it wasn't the greatest thing ever but now after all these years, having pantera songs with different solos would just suck. If he wouldn't do it they should just hire another guitarist that would do it, no egos attached. Benante plays exactly out of respect to vinnie paul and the fans. That is why zakk wylde does the same.
Kirk without guitar Thor, what? Kirk and guitars equals Superman and kryptonite. Kirk is one the worst players with very limited abilities. He doesn’t know what key he’s in most of the time. There is a reason why we call him - Three licks out of key Kirk.
@@BMT3691 That is wrong almost every sentence but what do you mean we? Do you suppose to play guitar and think yourself better? I bet live you wouldn't be able to pull most of his solos.
Can I just say that Charlie Benante is playing Vinnie Paul's parts so F'ing well! He's doing them justice. He's honoring Vinnie with each performance. I love it.
I really love how Phil looks so healthy and sounds amazing at all these newer shows. So proud he overcame his demons to bring us these impeccable performances!
So true! I'm so glad he got the help he very much deserves. Last time I saw PanterA was at the Roy Wilkens Auditorium. Drove through a damn blizzard of Ozz to get there! Phil was struggling that night. When they did Cemetery Gates, he mumbled all the words. It was heartbreaking to watch. I completely understand what his pain was putting him through.
@@pikehunter23750 I saw Pantera in their heyday (Vulgar tour IIRC), but Phil decided to use the weird effects for vocals that their opening band used. Sounded terrible. Awesome show otherwise.
@@klutch14u oh yeah, band wise the show was insanely good. Every time I saw them opening or not headlining, I felt bad for the headlining band because PanterA took all the energy from the crowd and left nothing them.
kirk is, in the best way, such a goofy and lovable guy just look at the way he is twirling the mic during the solo starting at 4:12. shoutout to kirk and his childlike whimsy. also shoutout to everyone in this venue cause that's an awesome legendary moment. love stuff like this and everyone seems like they're having so much fun
Gotta disagree, loved Pantera. Vinny said it would never happen again...kinda an over his dead body statement. Luckily money is worth more to his estate than his legacy and the cash grab continues. Vinny and Dime were Pantera.
@@krautbawls2262vinny is just a crybaby. He forbid pantera from reuniting only because he hated phil. And also pantera is pantera because of phil. Remmeber what they were before he joined?
@@кчау-л6яyou are completely wrong. Vinnie did not want to do anything with Pantera because Dime was gone. He said multiple times there is no Pantera without Dime. Sure he had some dislike for Phil as well. Also, Pantera was great before Phil. All of them together were amazing, but Dime and Vinnie were Pantera.
Saw them when I was 16 years old and they were touring for Vulgar Display, White Zombie opened for them. Both bands crushed it. Didn't know how lucky I was to be there.
Having seen Pantera many times in 2000's era, I was a bit surprised by Phil being barefoot. Then I remember he had or has a bad back. Phil looks much more straight with his posture. I'm happy he looks healthier & sounds great as before. Phil is one of the best frontman ever. \m/
I was there on the left side by Rex about 3 people away from the stage. Saw Pantera many times in their prime including once before at First Ave. This was awesome, you can say what you want about "this isn't Pantera" but this is as close as it gets with no Vinnie or Dimebag.
As much as I appreciate the sentiment..how? How would someone know that Dime, who is deceased, is somehow occupying some magical realm (a realm whose existence is supported by NO evidence whatsoever, and for which there is ZERO reason to suppose exists) where he sits, waiting to get Pantera tickets? Does that really sound like a rational thing to say? Yeah, I already know most people will hate this, because most people are deluded, irrational, and superstitious.
As an Aussie, I was lucky enough to see Pant when I was 17 in Melbourne, on the Trendkill Tour, opening the show with Suicide Note 1. Fog machine, haunting song, everlasting memory.
Kayla Kent plays really good. You can listen to her right her on You tube. She is a die hard Painter fan. Her father took her to a concert when she was teenager. She sounds really good; check her out.
Super cool show, i can remember back to the old Joe's Garage days in West Ft.Worth, Tx. I saw pantera play for $5 bucks 3 dozen times at least. What funny is the fact that they used to all have long glam hair when they started but it quickly turned to the magic they created and still do. Dime and Vinnie bought my brother and I cold beers at Trees in Dallas watching Jawbox and Helmet one night, they new we were old school Joe's boys. What great memories.

@@MaynardOwns yeah I know man, saw them in the 90’s. Had to travel though is the point a couple of hours to nyc l. It would be convenient if there was a “small venue” near me again. Just like mosh pits most small venue’s have disappeared in the last few years
I had to walk a thoroughbred racehorse, for weeks, she had a bowed tendon, she was very high strung, this song would come on, on my iPhone, it seemed to calm her down, no shit people, love this song
Somewhere there is a video of someone stopped along side the road next to a horse in a field blaring Pantera with the window down. The horse is headbanging along to the beat of the song. Not sure if it is real or not, but still cool nonetheless!
Not enough bands left that can fill venues of that particular size anymore, which means there's a limited amount of them per major city, and no one wants to build new ones in underserved markets. And that's before you factor in scalpers, Ticketmaster and their nonsense etc. Be the change, mate. Keep going to live shows and bring your friends, especially for local acts or bands that aren't massive like Pantera and Metallica. If enough people do it, these venues will come back!
Metallica are so damn lucky to have Rob with them. Rob seems like the kind of musician that's just there to rock out to metal regardless of the venue. He could easily slip into any band and feel like he's been there since the beginning. He just has so much respect for the music.
Damn Matthew, Thanks for posting, this was incredible all the way through!!!!! Love the zoom in on Zakk!! I never subscribe to a channel based on one video...until now.
I have a polish significant other and polish friends, and they pointed out to me that Rob and Kirk will come out and play polish songs at the polish shows. Mad respect for them both.
@@kskip4242 Dime was one of the best metal guitarists there has ever been. Zakk has his hands FULL trying to learn those riffs and licks that Dime had practiced for decades. Zakk was the only guy for the job imo
@@kskip4242 Bet you couldn't play with 20 fingers what he can with 5, he definitely isn't overrated and with how close he was with Dime, even if Dime hadn't been murdered he would've probably been handpicked by him to take the reins if he'd ever decided to leave.
Never say never. Just a few years ago I told my kids I was sorry they would never see Pantera live. On 8/9/24 I saw them for my 10th time with my kids for their first time in Chicago.
@@mungofinalfi4480it’s just not the same without the brothers. Also, these dudes aren’t in their 20s and 30s anymore. If you ever saw any shows back in the 90s or early 2000s you would understand. It was just an entirely different experience. You just had to be there. That being said I think that Phil, Rex, Zack, and Charlie are doing a great job of celebrating PanterAs’ music.❤
OMG I WAS HERE !!! 5th avenue in Minneapolis !!!! THE BEST NIGHT !!!! So stoked I managed to get tickets for this small secret gig ! Fucking awesome !!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Zakk, just a very nice guy. After a show, Experience Hendrix, one in the morning, freezing, he greeted fans by the tour buses. Chatted for probably half hour. Autographed pickguard by drawing a guitar, rock & roll, Zakk. Hoping to repeat on the upcoming EH tour.
Trujillo is like a kid his mom told him to jump on stage and live his dream LOL. Pantera is opening for Metallica but he is still soooo groupie its adorable. You can tell he grew up to that song like all of us.
I was at the walk video shoot show at The Riviera theater in Chicago. They did the song twice for extra footage purposes. Got to hang out backstage with them all and tons of pics and autographs. Miss the old guys like Guy Sykes, Kim Vanloon, Maria Gonzales (Roadrunner), Big Val Bichekas (RIP Brother).
That was very enjoyable! Respect for all who played/sang that song. For the people who bash Zakk, for not trying to mimic Dime's playing, I say watch this video again. ALL of them sounded phenomenal.
I love Charlie Benante, he's an amazing drummer, but his tempo is all over the place here, and I've seen more stuff like that from other Pantera gigs. I don't get it, he's an outstanding musician.
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 Ofc, nobody disputes that. But there is zero need to play "Walk" in a slower tempo as it's already a slow song (on all instruments). Zakk can shred lightyears faster than that without breaking a sweat.
@@freddyrock Absolutely. Charlie plays million times faster and harder songs on a regular basis with Anthrax, and Rex can also play way more difficult songs. I just don't get it.
Awesome performance gentlemen🤘🤘 many don't realize the Minnesota connection when it comes to both Pantera and Metallica going way back when both bands were first starting off. Glad to see all the shows from both groups coming back some of their oldest fan roots🤘🤘
What can you say, it never gets old with this one. The song is way bigger than the band, and probably inspired a whole lof of kids to get into playing music. A lot of modern metal has a whole lot of Pantera in there.
There were a couple shows like 10-15 years ago where Dave Lombardo played a couple songs with them. There’s definitely a video up here of him playing Battery with them.
@timjaeger6589 I've seen that. Back in 2004 at the download festival Dave played Battery and The Four Horsemen with them. He bought a new energy into the band.
Just like Bon Scott endorsing Brian Johnson before he died, Darrell would have done the same regarding Zakk. You couldn’t ask for a better continuation!
Lol that's completely different. Brian Johnson carried on the band and became a whole new era of AC/DC. Zakk is just celebrating what Pantera did. He's not taking over as GUITARIST OF PANTERA.
I can’t believe how wrong some people can be. Dimes rolling in his grave hearing how awful his songs are being played by Hack Wylde. No respect shown, if he respected Dime he would have turned down hacking his songs. Instead, he saw a money and fame grab and shit all over his “friends” legacy.
To all the "that's not Pantera" people: yeah, we *KNOW.* Dime and Vinnie (sadly) are gone. It's not like they were kicked out or they decided to leave and/or start their own version, like other musicians have done. At least with other bands, hating on the current lineup or pining for a reunion that will likely never happen is your prerogative. It doesn't do any good to point out that this isn't the "real" Pantera because that version isn't an option anymore. If you don't support the decision of the remaining members to stay together and continue to tour, stay in your cave and listen to the stuff they put out prior to the early 2000s. Some of us appreciate that we can still see the remaining members live and keep the band's legacy going.
Nah fuck all four of em. This is blatant disrespect to those brothers. I had a whole comment typed out but who gives a fuck. Fuck Phil, fuck rex, fuck Zakk. And regrettably, fuck Charlie. They ALL know this is blatantly disrespectful. Make an income with something else and respect these musicians legacies and wishes. Like your platinum albums, instead of being a junkie and going, "Well hed want me to do it". Phil can eat ass.
Phil & Rex both walked out on the Abbott Brothers though when they were alive to focus on sideprojects. They had all the chances to rekindle with dime & vinnie for over 3years from Sept 2001 to dimes death in Dec 2004. 3 years!! Yet never made the effort except shit can them.
That would have been awesome to see in a small venue like that. While I do miss the Abbotts I think Zak Wylde pulls of the guitar brilliantly and Charlie doesn't miss a beat on the drums. Great to see these guys are back touring let alone getting half of Metallica as their backup singers!
Dude... the place has a 1,550 person capacity... that ain't no small club. I worked at the Town Pump in Vancouver, BC, with bands such as Tool, Collective Soul, and Corrosion of Conformity. It had a maximum capacity of 299 people. That's a 'small club'.
@@markmcgarity it's a nightclub, but the title of the video says small club. It may be a club, smaller than a stadium, but it's a medium to large club, not a small club. And if you've ever seen a band in a 300 seat club, you'd know how intimate is is. This ain't that type of club.

Be the change, mate. Keep going to live shows and bring your friends, especially for local acts or bands that aren't massive like Pantera and Metallica. If enough people do it, these venues will come back!
Metallica are so damn lucky to have Rob with them. Rob seems like the kind of musician that's just there to rock out to metal regardless of the venue. He could easily slip into any band and feel like he's been there since the beginning. He just has so much respect for the music.
That's no small club
That’s what I was thinking, Kinda like a HOBlues hell it just may be😂😂
@@CoppercustomzIt's First Avenue in Minneapolis.
Capacity is 1550.
Small would be somewhere like the Juke Joint in Springfield MO when it was still around.
For Pantera and Metallica it is
Phil sounded like wrestler Randy Savage.
"SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!!!!"
Goddamnit now you've made me start singing this as Macho Man, thanks for that
Didn't doyle steal his girlfriend
Oooh yeaaah
The cream of the crop alrighs rises to the top OHH YEAAH..
☝😎
ANNND there ain't nothing sweeter than these sugar packets I found backstage OH YEAAH!!
Best Rob and Kirk doodle ever.
A historic show for sure - very cool! I saw them in Asbury Park in 96 on the Great Southern Trendkill tour so I know what its like, awesome!
Damn Matthew, Thanks for posting, this was incredible all the way through!!!!! Love the zoom in on Zakk!! I never subscribe to a channel based on one video...until now.
LETS FUCKING GO
So much love and respect for all those guys. Loved to see Kirk and Robert join them as well showing thier love too.
A+ Camera work, genuinely, Kirk and Robert on stage and you still record the solo 🤘 Respect
This is no other than Minneota's most iconic venue, First Avenue.
I cannot even list how many bands I've seen there, going back 4 decades.
As much as I hate to say it I've been listening to both of these bands for over 30 years
I love how Rob and Kirk are these two dudes who always get the weirdest ideas together like those times they’re playing local songs on their shows.
I have a polish significant other and polish friends, and they pointed out to me that Rob and Kirk will come out and play polish songs at the polish shows. Mad respect for them both.
RIP Dimebag. I spent my teen years dreaming of being as awesome as you are. Still play every riff i can.
4:28 Brother Zakk, gotta get down on the slide Dime style
Zakk is overrated as fuck.
@kskip4242 I don’t remember anyone asking
@@kskip4242 Dime was one of the best metal guitarists there has ever been. Zakk has his hands FULL trying to learn those riffs and licks that Dime had practiced for decades. Zakk was the only guy for the job imo
@@kskip4242do you play guitar?
@@kskip4242 Bet you couldn't play with 20 fingers what he can with 5, he definitely isn't overrated and with how close he was with Dime, even if Dime hadn't been murdered he would've probably been handpicked by him to take the reins if he'd ever decided to leave.
My 2 favorite metal bands together on stage. This is awesome. 🤘✊️
Pantera! This live brings back memories from back in the day!
Metallica paying respect.🤘
This is an awesome crowd and I'm never gonna feel what its like at a Pantera show🤘🤘✌️🖤🤘🤘
Never say never. Just a few years ago I told my kids I was sorry they would never see Pantera live. On 8/9/24 I saw them for my 10th time with my kids for their first time in Chicago.
you're absolutely right. and neither will the people at this show
@@Cowboy1Brian What do you mean?
@@mungofinalfi4480it’s just not the same without the brothers. Also, these dudes aren’t in their 20s and 30s anymore. If you ever saw any shows back in the 90s or early 2000s you would understand. It was just an entirely different experience. You just had to be there. That being said I think that Phil, Rex, Zack, and Charlie are doing a great job of celebrating PanterAs’ music.❤
@@vcvortex6356 iT WASN'T pANTERA THOUGH
The Cowboys and Horsemens together.
hell yeah
Awesome saying.
I remember some 20 plus years ago you weren't even allowed to mention Metallica's name on the official Pantera website forums and now here we are.
@@abatt4233Probably because Metallica went woke with the ‘Load’ album, turned their back on metal for a while
Would be Cool To see Metallica and Pantera perform The four horsemen together
These are the collaborations fans always wanted to see! 🤘🏻🍻🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing, bro!
OMG I WAS HERE !!! 5th avenue in Minneapolis !!!! THE BEST NIGHT !!!! So stoked I managed to get tickets for this small secret gig ! Fucking awesome !!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome 👍
I think Zakk sounds amazing, he does Dime’s playing justice. Don’t get the hate.
His playing is just messy and his phrasing is an abomination. Also, his side to side head banging is cringe AF
:(
Way too slow. It’s dragging
@@JLE999 yea right. Zakks style comes out too much and it’s really unnecessary
Amen!!!
Zakk, just a very nice guy. After a show, Experience Hendrix, one in the morning, freezing, he greeted fans by the tour buses. Chatted for probably half hour. Autographed pickguard by drawing a guitar, rock & roll, Zakk. Hoping to repeat on the upcoming EH tour.
EH Tour?
@@stevebrown1104 Experience Hendrix, same thing he said at the beginning.
To all those who were there and in the pit, what a blast!!! Cheers, and thanks!!! The air was Goddamn electric!!!
Trujillo is like a kid his mom told him to jump on stage and live his dream LOL. Pantera is opening for Metallica but he is still soooo groupie its adorable. You can tell he grew up to that song like all of us.
always a thing of complete joy to see sir Hammett pop out of all sorts of Random corners
I was worried they were going to let Kirk play the solo 😂
Him and Dime had similar styles and they both used the pentatonic approach for soloing.
His wah wah wah
@@russkate88 Are you out of your mind? Dime was 100x a better guitar player than Kirk, there's NOTHING similar in their styles whatsoever.
@@russkate88 hahaha stop 😂
@@guitarlair no
“Walk on home boy.”
Rob walks.
Phil sounds like a more chill Randy Macho Man Savage in the beginning
Just saw them at US Bank stadium and that's the first thing I said to my son.
@@lordkhail haha!
Love how Robert moves the fingers, like he is playing and Kirk, lost without the guitar
I was at the walk video shoot show at The Riviera theater in Chicago. They did the song twice for extra footage purposes. Got to hang out backstage with them all and tons of pics and autographs. Miss the old guys like Guy Sykes, Kim Vanloon, Maria Gonzales (Roadrunner), Big Val Bichekas (RIP Brother).
“You can’t be something you’re not”. Without Dime and Vinnie it’s not Pantera
Awesome.
Those Metallica dudes all got chubbies listening to that precision drumming.
He was wondering why kirk left. He look like he was having abit of stage fright or something, lol!
doubtful it is a very basic song.
I tought it was Lars on the sticks
That was very enjoyable! Respect for all who played/sang that song. For the people who bash Zakk, for not trying to mimic Dime's playing, I say watch this video again. ALL of them sounded phenomenal.
Imagine being there and seeing Kirk and Rob walk out? During Walk?! Amazing.
Kirk's turning into Ronnie James Dio
First ave is a pretty cool place
They sound amazing! But i don't know why they slow down the songs
I love Charlie Benante, he's an amazing drummer, but his tempo is all over the place here, and I've seen more stuff like that from other Pantera gigs. I don't get it, he's an outstanding musician.
uh maybe because they aren't 20 anymore
Happens when bands get older. Metallica aren’t as fast they used to be, same as the majority of other metal/hard rock bands
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 Ofc, nobody disputes that. But there is zero need to play "Walk" in a slower tempo as it's already a slow song (on all instruments). Zakk can shred lightyears faster than that without breaking a sweat.
@@freddyrock Absolutely. Charlie plays million times faster and harder songs on a regular basis with Anthrax, and Rex can also play way more difficult songs. I just don't get it.
Awesome performance gentlemen🤘🤘 many don't realize the Minnesota connection when it comes to both Pantera and Metallica going way back when both bands were first starting off. Glad to see all the shows from both groups coming back some of their oldest fan roots🤘🤘
What can you say, it never gets old with this one. The song is way bigger than the band, and probably inspired a whole lof of kids to get into playing music. A lot of modern metal has a whole lot of Pantera in there.
Where's james and Lars??
James worried zakk might spill beer on him again lol
They were in the restroom sharing a stall.
doing something way better than this tribute band
Parking cars
Bunch of musicians enjoying themselves phuck the haters 😊
I’d lose my shit!!!
Then go find your shit. Get help in finding your shit again.
@@adriantrusca1245fun police out here 😒
a top 3 show ive ever been to by far. first ave with pantera was AMAZING.
No one can be so much badass than Phil singing "Walk" in barefoot!!!! and the drums with the 2 Legends is just Epic!!!!
why is phill anselmo barefoot
Why not
you save money, when you don't use shoes, when you WALK!!!
He has bad bunions and his feet hurt
I don’t think you understand what a small club is
Hahahaha. No shit
I'd love Charlie Benante to stand in for Metallica at a few of their shows. That would be refreshing.
There were a couple shows like 10-15 years ago where Dave Lombardo played a couple songs with them. There’s definitely a video up here of him playing Battery with them.
@timjaeger6589 I've seen that. Back in 2004 at the download festival Dave played Battery and The Four Horsemen with them. He bought a new energy into the band.
Not seeing the two hand slide... really takes away how badass that solo is
Yea, because Hack Wylde absolutely sucks. He sucked before he considered ruining Dimes legacy
That voice of Phil Anselmo makes me melt every time.....❤❤❤
That's no Pantera, that's Phil and friends
Just like Bon Scott endorsing Brian Johnson before he died, Darrell would have done the same regarding Zakk. You couldn’t ask for a better continuation!
Lol that's completely different. Brian Johnson carried on the band and became a whole new era of AC/DC. Zakk is just celebrating what Pantera did. He's not taking over as GUITARIST OF PANTERA.
I can’t believe how wrong some people can be. Dimes rolling in his grave hearing how awful his songs are being played by Hack Wylde. No respect shown, if he respected Dime he would have turned down hacking his songs. Instead, he saw a money and fame grab and shit all over his “friends” legacy.
To all the "that's not Pantera" people: yeah, we *KNOW.* Dime and Vinnie (sadly) are gone. It's not like they were kicked out or they decided to leave and/or start their own version, like other musicians have done. At least with other bands, hating on the current lineup or pining for a reunion that will likely never happen is your prerogative. It doesn't do any good to point out that this isn't the "real" Pantera because that version isn't an option anymore. If you don't support the decision of the remaining members to stay together and continue to tour, stay in your cave and listen to the stuff they put out prior to the early 2000s. Some of us appreciate that we can still see the remaining members live and keep the band's legacy going.
Nah fuck all four of em. This is blatant disrespect to those brothers. I had a whole comment typed out but who gives a fuck. Fuck Phil, fuck rex, fuck Zakk. And regrettably, fuck Charlie. They ALL know this is blatantly disrespectful. Make an income with something else and respect these musicians legacies and wishes. Like your platinum albums, instead of being a junkie and going, "Well hed want me to do it". Phil can eat ass.
400$ to go see the shitty half of Pantera be 50? Fuck that and fuck them.
Phil & Rex both walked out on the Abbott Brothers though when they were alive to focus on sideprojects. They had all the chances to rekindle with dime & vinnie for over 3years from Sept 2001 to dimes death in Dec 2004. 3 years!! Yet never made the effort except shit can them.
That would have been awesome to see in a small venue like that. While I do miss the Abbotts I think Zak Wylde pulls of the guitar brilliantly and Charlie doesn't miss a beat on the drums. Great to see these guys are back touring let alone getting half of Metallica as their backup singers!
I hear that riff and get chills every damn time, just gets you pumped up!
Dude... the place has a 1,550 person capacity... that ain't no small club. I worked at the Town Pump in Vancouver, BC, with bands such as Tool, Collective Soul, and Corrosion of Conformity. It had a maximum capacity of 299 people. That's a 'small club'.
Was thinking that too.
Who fucking cares. Your mom is a 1500 seat club
dude, 1550 is small, especially if you are used to playing 20k or more...299? that isn't a club, that's a restaurant/bar
@@markmcgarity it's a nightclub, but the title of the video says small club. It may be a club, smaller than a stadium, but it's a medium to large club, not a small club. And if you've ever seen a band in a 300 seat club, you'd know how intimate is is. This ain't that type of club.
1500 maniacs is a freakin' zoo...
Kurt left during the solo LMAO
Who?
kurt? lol
@@rinzler4841 ya Kurt Hammlet
Kirk?
Kurt left in the 90s bro
0:40 why do they boo? We all know that 90% of Metallica fans are people who dont listen to any metal at all..
Shut up
Makes sense though. No other metal band sounds like Metallica, they don't focus on song writing at all
I listen to Metallica and I listen to Metal:(
In fact I freaking love metal
they were the sole reason I started to love metal as a kid
Metallica & Pantera friend forever 🤟🤘
