@@tyr8264 Yeah I don't think that has been the issue for Saudi Arabia. It was all about accepting more visitors in from the west and allowing more western culture to intergrate in a strict muslim country. It is obvious to see that SA is slowly becoming more open like UAE, to invite more people into visit and have events. It is great to see.
Totally lame for Metallica to play in this sad excuse of a country. As long as the money's good who cares about all the human rights violations, sharia law, treatment of minorities etc.?
@@andrewplahuta7037 5:14 He's off. You're hearing is fucked. I mean James is off for nearly the entire song vocally as well. What are you gonna say he aced it as well lol. New fan huh, hairs still wet from the fuckin womb 🤣
As a huge fan of Metallica for over 20 years. This is amazing to see them play in the middle east in Saudia Arabia. The middle east is opening more up and I love it.
I was there. It was an electric night. I saw Metallica live after a decade, and I must say, they sounded, looked, and felt a lot better. Historic night in Riyadh. A band that continues to inspire, connect, and heal!
I was amazed and astonished that Metallica was going to play in Saudi Arabia! It was such a historic event and I am so happy that I got to be there. Thank you Saudi Arabia for hosting the hardest rocking Metal band of ALL TIME!
Great music, METALLICAis the BESTEST band ever. LOVE you guys. Your music speaks to my heart and touches my soul. THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME. Happy New Year and all the best to all of you..always.
@@vvinterghost Probably doesn't know how to use a record player ? The needles the fun part and I still put a penny weight on the arm. Better sound quality has been for the past 45 years for me. Never a dull moment vinyls rule 🤘
I hate Metallica for what they stand for, child's introduction to great music. But James has to be one of the greatest frontmen ever. Kirk looks like death walked through and spat the remains.
James Hetfield is one heck of a talented man. It would be so difficult to switch between acoustic and electric guitars mid-song like he is doing here in addition to singing lead vocals. Respect...
Stop exaggerating. A lot of people do that. Besides, he's made it much easier for himself now since he doesn't even bother playing it fingerstyle anymore. He uses a pick throughout.
There's not many places Metallica haven't played, so it's always awesome to see them playing where they've never set foot. Really, really cool to see they gave the Saudi metal heads a ride what with all the turmoil that's going on over there in the middle-east within driving distance. That's a snazzy golden bass Rob's got too. Never seen that one before.
My thoughts and prayers to Lars My Dad passed away on 30th on November this year on the age of 60! I see my boys in their prime in their 60s and it is sad to see that some people die this young, but that is life, it is what it is... Keep on rocking my favorite band ! \m/
I’ve listened to this song for hundreds of times, but the lyrics always get me emotional. The same goes for Pt.2 and especially Pt.3. The chorus of this one is just so real and relatable to me, because I am a chronically depressed introvert who always had problems with expressing what I really feel. But it’s my own fault, not society’s or significant other’s. I am the Unforgiven.
Metallica is as awesome as ever. Most members are 60+, but they still kick major ass. I've been a fan since 1986. And I'm only 48! I grew up with classic rock and Metallica (my brother turned me on to them. Loved them ever since).
@@awilhelmscream89 Is the 89 in your screen name mean that you were born 89? I was born in 75 and I was 11 when I started listening to Master Of Puppets.

It was a privilege and a dream of mine for seeing Metallica live for the first time in my life and in Riyadh.. What an amazing and memorable night.. Thank you very much Metallica 🙏🏼
I really dig the different variations James is putting into the vocal melody here. It's subtle, but it's definitely there, if you know the song like the back of your hand.
Wow this has blown my mind.. I saw Metallica play in Abu Dhabi which was an amazing gig.. I’ve never heard so many en core .. love Abu Dhabi for that.. Metallica are Awsome .. to see this in Riyad has blown me away.. fair play to Saudi.. I have spent time there but could have never imagined METALICA playing there in a million years.. an eye opener 🙏
I’m an ExPat here but it’s amazing to see KSA’s journey. I hope they don’t lose some of the golden parts of their heritage along the way, but the country is changing rapidly and it’s often a joy to be here. The Soundstorm festival didn’t feel like normal Saudi… think I saw one guy in national dress.
Blows my mind how much better they play this now compared to 5 years ago. James is at a all new peak, Lars has been killing it, and Kirks solo here was near perfection, Best Band Ever.
I'm so happy that I got to be a part of this historical day in Saudi Arabia and I will forever remember how it felt, seeing them there live for the first time ever. That day was perfect from A to Z, I feel blessed, I will be telling my future kids and grandkids about this one day. Love from Saudi Arabia.
I was there🤘🤘, the goosebumps I got when they started playing this song.... thank you Metallica for making the dream of your middle eastern fans a reality. Please let us see you again 🤘
Glad I was there, Metallica stole the show that night, hands down 🤘🤘 Also, the sound and the stage were amazing, great effort from Saudi Arabia 👍 I dream to see Metallica in a concert like this in my home land Egypt beside the pyramids maybe 🤘
Lars said in an interview 2 or 3 months ago that the 72S tour might keep on going by late 2024 and 2025. He spoke specifically about South America and Oceania but who knows where they could end up playing. After all, no one saw this late 2023 Saudi Arabia show coming, so Metallica playing in north Africa could also be a huge surprise, but definitively some legendary shows to witness. Just imagine Metallica playing "Mercyful Fate" (and more specifically the Curse of the Pharaoh part) just underneath the Sphinx! WHOA!!!!

He plays Peter Greens legendary "the Greeny" guitar.
