The 1997 - 1999 era of Metallica were absolutely unstoppable in sound. Seattle 89 may have the energy. But man, 90s Metallica just sound so refined. It's like when they tuned to Eb they learned they could just go ALL OUT.
Obviously Metallica were at their best from 85-93 but I really like the 98-99-00 shows they did. They were on point. Kirk was really fluid in his solos, and creative.
I would say the whole show was beast mode....i was teenager when i saw this and i took it for granted, i wasnt even impressed that much at the time....the new metal era was at its peak this time. To this day i know they give it all at the stage, but my idols are older now....i hate time!
Probably one of the last times we saw peak Lars---you can hear his double bass, mostly clean, consistently strong, and he's not overdoing it with the improvised fills or wildly fluctuating tempos. As always, Jason's bass is massive, and you can see how much more accurate Kirk was in those days.
Anthony Avila yeah, you're right. Sorry. I've been listening to the 13 year old, high school kid playing simple 'rock' rhythms badly whilst he sits back and smugly grins knowing that he'll never be fired from his shit band that could literally release any old pile of horseshit and deluded fans will say it's groundbreaking music. No, wait.... that's definitely Lars Ulrich.
This is the best cover song they did by far. They did KILLING JOKE proud. Fucking bad ass. Makes me want to do full sprint flips of stages again(if my fat old ass could still do that! lol).
If you check out more recent live versions by KJ, you'll discover that Metallica's version here sounds more like easy listening lounge music by comparison. ruclips.net/video/gn8N9RbcKjU/видео.html Youth & Geordie making more noise with ONE guitar and a bass than this frontline does with two and a bass
It was really hard to get tickets, was resigned to watching on MTV (this was still when they played actual music) ….later was able to get a vid of this whole concert on a VHS tape from a record shop in Brooklyn and the whole set looked incredible
In the RUclips description, the show from Atlanta 2004 is tagged. That was actually my first concert, and I still have the audio from Metallica when they would record their shows from the soundboard and put them up for, I think, 10 bucks or so.
Back when Metallica were on the 2nd leg of their career. New look and sound and with that a renewed energy and contemporary charisma that oozed machismo and they were now participating in Hollywood type events and parties and especially Lars attracting very gorgeous looking ladies. I think from 85-93 they were non stop touring and didn't really participate in any of these activities and in fact probably thought it was too pretentious and cliche. They just wanted drink as much beer as possible and play to as many fans as they could no matter where they were. So by this time they were now ready for the Hollywood lifestyle at least for Lars and Kirk. Non the less they sound great here and definitely still are trying to recapture that angst from past efforts and I'm sure the Dominance of Pantera during this time was also a factor in trying to hold onto that 👑 🤟🏼♥️
Yeah, you are right, sorry. Actually I wanted to make an audio upgrade for this show(partial) a few months ago and I downloaded all the available tracks for this show and they were split in 2 or 3 singles from 98-99, but Ron didn't allow me to release it, so I scrapped it. I still have a video uploaded as a sample of 3 songs, though.
impossible to find all the tracks, they do not exist (maybe they are, but they are not available to us) there is only 8 songs, it makes no sense to look for other
For the recorded versions I actually prefer the Killing Joke version a bit more but this is the best live version I have heard of this song by either band.

One of the greatest anger-management sessions Mr. Ulrich ever had. Simply astonishing.
very well put lol
Q
RIP Geordie Walker from Killing Joke, the originator of this awesome song.
Nobody played the guitar like Geordie Walker. I don't think KJ can be the same without him.
Obviously Metallica were at their best from 85-93 but I really like the 98-99-00 shows they did. They were on point. Kirk was really fluid in his solos, and creative.
I can't say for sure, but in some ways I think Kirk did better in the late 90's than ever before or ever again
I agree
80s was James year and the 90s were Kirk's year
lars went hard as fuck
yes he did
he put in your mouth
Goddamn they were in beast mode on this one!
I would say the whole show was beast mode....i was teenager when i saw this and i took it for granted, i wasnt even impressed that much at the time....the new metal era was at its peak this time. To this day i know they give it all at the stage, but my idols are older now....i hate time!
One of the best Metallica concerts ever. I watchedit a million times. Looooove it. The Cover Masters kick ass.
Yep
Seattle 1989 quits the chat
@@goyda357 Seattle 1989 is why I wrote one of the best and not the best😆
Shame that they dont playing covers now. They play whiskey but cmon there are a lot better covers than whiskey
@@karolantkowiak5400 I agree.
Lars was AWESOME in this!
Peter u right fam Ty
Yeah u right Peter
He really kicked ass here. My mom said, watching this concert with me on video: "This guy will never be fat:D"
WTF? This is an amazing rendition of the track!! Lar's double bass is sick as fuck!! Damn!🤘🤘🤘
Yeah it is
Wow..Lars and Jason headbanging, in unison, at 3:29!
James and Jason
That’s how they keep time with each other. How do you think they were so tight of a rhythm section?
@@kdxtreme7479 both are but more with Lars if you keep a close eye
That's called Groove
these will always be the dudes who got me into music. i remember putting on justice and i said “0hhh... i like music”
Lol same exact for me it was kill ‘Em all
Probably one of the last times we saw peak Lars---you can hear his double bass, mostly clean, consistently strong, and he's not overdoing it with the improvised fills or wildly fluctuating tempos.
As always, Jason's bass is massive, and you can see how much more accurate Kirk was in those days.
that double bass
Absolutely god tier
i hope lars would play the drums like this again.
what? shit? he's still doing that
whats is he doing? you saw the Germany performance of the Wait? hahahaah
Ben lol you must be listening to the wrong drummer.
Anthony Avila yeah, you're right. Sorry. I've been listening to the 13 year old, high school kid playing simple 'rock' rhythms badly whilst he sits back and smugly grins knowing that he'll never be fired from his shit band that could literally release any old pile of horseshit and deluded fans will say it's groundbreaking music. No, wait.... that's definitely Lars Ulrich.
Honestly, the Lars Ulrich here is still off time, but his double bass is more solid than compared to him now.
1998-1999 voice 🤘
This is the best cover song they did by far. They did KILLING JOKE proud. Fucking bad ass. Makes me want to do full sprint flips of stages again(if my fat old ass could still do that! lol).
Same brother

1:24 You can hear that magical Lars Ulrich double bass :D
It’s fucking epic man
I cant believe this was over 20 years ago! Fucking hell life passes quickly
Lars has changed his part so much. No crashes on the odd backbeats. No double bass whatsoever now.
Dude, he's 34 here. He's now in his 60s.
sound heavy amaizing why why Jason left!!!!!!!
Jason is great!
this is so good it's SICK
james sounds good here
This video gets me so pumped!
3:29 FUUUUUCK
Epic in the name of tharsh !
Holy Fuck Lars :D
Fuck yes dude!
lars best drumming era 1988 - 2001
Jorge Sanchez in 1985 his drumming was begining to get super fast
I was at this concert
It was really hard to get tickets, was resigned to watching on MTV (this was still when they played actual music) ….later was able to get a vid of this whole concert on a VHS tape from a record shop in Brooklyn and the whole set looked incredible
Was at this show Tuesday Nov 24 1998 it cost $28 not bad
music of killing joke - the wait!!!
Holy shit, Lars doesn't sound like he's beating on garbage cans!
Haha right! :);)
Back in the days they really kicked ass!
greets from Poland!
This is so badass! Great!! Jason is beast.. Lars did great Job 👍
Man this is awesome
KJ are the masters, watch them do this at Shepards Bush 05 on YT then compare.
THE WHEYYYYY (protein) :P
xD
Hahaha..nice one
NOT BAD JAMES STILL HAD HIS VOICE AND LARS COULD USE A DOUBLE BASS
wow. all i can say is wow. i love that song
Killing Joke cover!
lars actually brought the heat
So badass. I love this song
Shame we have only half of the show in this audio quality! :(
Metallica,James,I love you!!!
absolute favourite.
Man, at 3:29 that was awesome. Good stuff.
Ive seen metallica for what 25- 30 yrs. now and they always take stage in the same position every time.
extraordinary riff
In the RUclips description, the show from Atlanta 2004 is tagged. That was actually my first concert, and I still have the audio from Metallica when they would record their shows from the soundboard and put them up for, I think, 10 bucks or so.
Metallica reminds me of a perfectly tuned American V8 engine..so fucking awesome.
They destroyed a classic here killing joke are far better
@@andypandy5613 hahah
3:18 That double bass after the first solo .. FUCK !!!!!!!
Thxx musa great video again.Lars's double bass is awesomeee
I have the audio of this but not the video, thanks man!
it came out as a single Whiskey in the Jar, I think only for Germany, I have never seen it on the net
En ese momento Para Ulrich era el mejor baterista de esa época, finales de los noventas, y principios de los 2000's
Some people would argue but I agree
The original will always be rawer, harder amd better.
Hell yes! This lame cover here doesn't rate...
Totally agree.
umm also on garage days ep..thats where it was first many years ago for all u newcomer metallica fans....I was jamming hits 20+ years ago
The wait tore them up! I love it when they work hard! woo hoo!
Please be 100% sure before you speak
At single Turn the Page version this show November 13, 1997 at The Ministry of Sound, London, England
here they still understood that - "the slower the heavier" !
Thanks very much for this, man!! Fucking killer video!
Awesome upload 🤘🏻
R.I.P Paul Raven
Guess FRIEND OF URS. R.I.P. REST IN POWER.
Justice for Jason happened here. Likely only cuz lars liked the way his double sounded.
This is badass
26 years ago? Are you kidding me? It was yesterday!
Metallica+killing Joke...insuperable
Lars on spot with that double
que temazo la concha de la lora
Sape

3:35
Look at lars, he was feeling it, and you can hear that😂😂
Probably half this crowed had no clue this a killing joke song 🤔
Btw the track isn't rare, it's on the Turn the Page single.
another version is on there
Yeah, you are right, sorry.

i know, Krzych did update two years ago, but I do not have this release
BAD ASS SONG ALSO LIKE
Small hours
pretty cool song
Ah the 90's...
Killing Joke
fucking great😈😈😈
Wasn`t it part of one of the twelveahalf "Whiskey"-singles?
I am still waiting?)???
holy shit
impossible to find all the tracks, they do not exist (maybe they are, but they are not available to us) there is only 8 songs, it makes no sense to look for other
Fuck YEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH
People are upset Metallica just dominated this song over Killing Joke.
Nobody can't dominated Killing Joke but i admit the song kick asses :)
One of those cool moments where both versions are simply great (to me anyway).
People are upset cuz Metallica dominates everything they touch!!!! simple as that!
Opinions vary.....Metallica good at Metallica songs but this is LAME compared to the original....
Chris McGourty I hope you know killing joke stole the riff for eighties from the Damned's "Life Goes on"
one two three four hey hey hey hey hey hey
Fucking awesome
Lars was always the man he just phones it in now
lars shit bro, u hit really hard
omfg lars
That fake crowd noise. Drives me nuts.
3:27
They was fuckin killer!
KILLING JOKE original!!!
Killing Joke 1987
+slljarvis 87? I don't think so
1981 i guess
Killing joke song
Lars playing his ass off!
Beer break for lars after that
best to just see KJ instead
For the recorded versions I actually prefer the Killing Joke version a bit more but this is the best live version I have heard of this song by either band.
Not as good as Killing Joke's.
Geordie would eat these guys for breakfast
Way better imo.
