Believe its one they are going to be playing at S&M2 in San Fran in a little over a week. I'll let you know the morning of the 9th after I attend the 9/8 show. :)
welp...I hope so, my favourite one until now it's the one for The Day That Never Comes, I never knew that if they reversed the intro for the song it will sound that majestic!
@Mike Oxlong It's still half a step. And it's just a different key, it's not like the song is different or suddenly becomes shit if you change the key.
Cliff Burton wrote the intro to For Whom the Bell Tolls when he was as 16. He played it at a talent show in High school. Everyone though he was a joke. Whoops I guess they miss judged pure genius .
Rob really does a great tribute to Cliff when he plays this song. You can hear lots of stuff from live performances that cliff would do in his playing here. Rob does a great job at adding his personal flare to this song while still paying tribute to the OG. I love Rob in Metallica I think he's fits super well.
He fits perfectly because he can play everything on bass, he is a fan of the band and most importantly, he knows that he is basically session player in biggest band in the world and his ego is perfectly fine with that. Dont bite the hand that feeds. On the other hand, I think that his presence made them to show some balls and that is one of the biggest reasons why they made great album Death Magnetic and their live performances are better and better every tour. 2000s Metallica was cringe especially James singing but since HWTSD tour they are technically at their peak. Maybe not fastest but certainly they are tighter than ever and James sounds great. Jason was much needed collateral damage.
@@dekapitatorr while Rob seems like a session player, hes anything but. A lot of what you said is accurate though. He has made the rest of the guys step up, but in turn, he has helped write so many of their best songs since he joined. Hes also done backup vocals on tracks like Dream No More. I feel like Jason was unfortunately more a session player the way he was treated. What happened with Jason opened their eyes and as a result Rob is treated like a fully participating member of the band
James has the best clean sound in metal. No doubt about that. I absolutely love Kirk, but following that clean intro it sounded like Kirk came in with a trumpet :D Love you guys!
Usually if they play this live they just have the clean part as a backing track. Interesting seeing James playing the intro live and playing it better and having it sound better than the actual studio album version. Was such a good live sound from everyone as well Kirk and Lars were sounding really good as well, Rob solid as well.
They were phenomenal in Munich. As they were throughout the European Stadium Tour. Seemed like they played a lot during "resting period". Maybe did some Studio Work ?
@@FartSniffer1 Rob is the only one who actually practices (I don't think James practices much I mean he is the rhythmic player), and besides that, he's composed a riff or two, For Suicide and Redemption, amazing instrumental work as well
You can see in their eyes that they love that song from the times when they were young... and so do I. One of the greatest instrumental pieces of heavy metal ever... and the one that might (or might not) be greater is from them as well!
Musik Fiend..... Robert looks absolutely great and if you play bass-guitar on this level you also would look like him or maybe comical..... Kirk open his mouth when he plays his greatest solos.... that’s normal..!!!!! :(
You know they've given him the raw studio bass tracks from Cliff and he's like, muthafucka, i gotta play this shit perfect or i can't live with myself. And then he's like "how tha fuck did he play this shit"? Cliff was Jimi Hendrix on a bass.
Ikr? I would too! I’d kill to listen to this or any other song from Metallica live! I’d be screaming and saying, “I love you guys, and I love you, too, Cliff!”
Most people today go to a concert because they want a cool post in social media. The bigger, the most expensive, the most sold out the better it is. Real fans are a minority on such "Events"... :-( Especially in a "rich city" like munich....
I wasn't there but I imagine this is because they reduced the volume of the crowd before uploading. I've seen quite a few metallica concerts online and the crowd wasn't so weak. It's probably because they reduced the volume while mastering so that there's emphasis on the song
Just incredible. I can't help but think of Cliff. İt's so unfair he didn't get to live and experience the entirety of the greatest of his band. İt still shocks me. He was killed and the others walked away unhurt. RİP Cliff.
This is the epitome of Metallica. It's the electronic re-invention of classical music. Dynamic, thought-provoking and emotional... Absolute Masterpiece. the only song in metal in my opinion that equals this is Hallowed be thy name by Maiden.
Robert is an absolutely amazing bass player! He is almost as good as cliff. Cliff is a legend though, and no one can compare or compete with Cliff’s bass playing!
I was there and when I heard that tape I though they were gonna tease us with kutulu and then play No leaf clover, but as soon as I heard James play the first fucking chord I flipped shit
@@mirkecWii which makes me wonder even more why it has gotten to the shitter so badly, since the other instruments (and even the non distorted bass) started to sound better since then.
@@guitarded55 yeah Robs bass changes sound A LOT, there was a time at the begining of the year or last year when his bass had the ugliest tone ever and since then it sounded good and now its back to shit
@@mirkecWii what's even weirder is that they're not using real amps anymore and went digital so changing the sound to whatever sounds best should be pretty easy, but I guess not.
I've been a Metallica fan for over 20 years now, and I've seen them live 8 times, last time this summer. That was probably the tightest I've ever seen. But even still, Rammstein is better. So, so, SO much better. Given a choice between a Rammstein concert and a Metallica concert, I'll choose Rammstein ten out of ten times.

He was doing Vol Swells. Sounded good tho.

Nah, Ktulu slaps
In my humble opinion, Ktulu is just one single step ahead from Orion, both being the ultimate thrash instrumentals
Personally I like Ktulu over Orion. Yeah Cliff didn’t get to have a Bass solo, but the roaring bass in the distance was absolutely insane.
To live is to die -> orion -> ktulu
INTRO OF DISPOSABLE HEROES ANESTHESIA....KTULU... ORION....TO LIVE IS TO DIE...
I have no words to describe how much I love this song. Masterpiece in rock music history! Thank you!
Totally agree 👍 unbelievable ROCK

The reaction of a crowd can also sound weak because of weak micing and mixing into the final track.

And suicide and redemption
yes please. Orion sounds like it's both made for metal and classical, the way it's composed
and The Call of Ktulu
Suicide & redemption also
Suicide & Redemption please! ❤
