“Creeping Death” is a song referenced from the biblical story of the Israel Exodus out of Egypt, in the book of EXODUS in the Bible. Singer James Hatfield had a somewhat religious Upbringing based on his Mother’s religious belief, but that’s a long story in itself 😎 Kool Vid!!! By the way, that concert was held in a Russian Airfield. 🤘🏼😎
@@jaymzmetalonewhat a bunch of bastards for making that song! I actually think people watched it because of the song. (I am having fun and not trying to be a D)🍻
The song is about the Tenth Plague of Egypt & was written from the perspective of the destroyer, the Angel of Death. Also there were several bands that played that show, not just Metallica. So it's not as if people just died at a Metallica concert or during their performance.
The crowd was not based specifically on free admission, this was a direct result of the end of communism., the tearing down of the Berlin wall. This was the first "Western concert" to be held in the former USSR Capital of Moscow. These people were just loving freedom., for the first time. I was in high school when all this was going on. Crazy times.
Technically there was music festival back in 1989 that had Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Cinderella, and Bon Jovi. I remember watching this because one of the MTV VJs (a Brit, forgot his name) covering the festival was showing his hotel room and commenting that he was glad to have brought soft double ply and scented toilet paper with him.
@@BagoPorkRinds That was the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989. But even before that there was a Western music festival there in 1987, featuring Carlos Santana, James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers, and Bonnie Raitt. That show only drew about 18,000 people though. Two years later, the Moscow Music Peace Festival drew (between 70K and 80K, depending on the source) over two days. FUNNY NOTE about the Moscow Music Peace Festival: Motley Crue had just made a pact with each other to get sober, but...well..none of the other acts on that bill had done so. One of the members of Crue (I think it was Nikki Sixx, IIRC, but maybe not) said about the trip over there, "...it was crazy. We're on a plane full of people, and the ONLY sober people on the plane, besides the pilots, are MOTLEY CRUE!!!" 😆
@@jimpierce7853 And two years before THAT, in 1987, there was a concert there featuring Carlos Santana, James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers, and Bonnie Raitt. It wasn't a festival, but it WAS the first Western music show in Russia.
Then you and @Daris Mehtic would probably enjoy this as well. Search YT for "seek & destroy Jason on vocals". He sings the whole song with James doing backup vocals. (EDIT - live in Netherland 1992)
@@mztweety1374 Jason’s dad said in an interview that Jason would call him from the road and tell him how bad his neck was always hurting and he was getting massive headaches but didn’t know why. Then his dad saw him playing live and whipping his head around. He told Jason (paraphrasing here) “Well, yeah, I know exactly why your neck hurts.” Seeing him windmilling like that then and knowing that he suffers from neck and back pain has always made me wonder if that was the cause. I miss his vocals.
This song is one of their staples in concerts over the years and one of the most intense awesome things always happens after Kirk’s guitar solo when the crowd starts chanting “die”. Just saw them in San Fran for their 40th anniversary concert- I have been seeing them live since ‘89 and I still get chills when this happens during Creeping Death! Glad you are enjoying their stuff. Check out anything from their concert at Nimes- it’s an ancient Roman colosseum in France. They open the concert with the song Blackened which would be. Great one to react to! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
@Jeff Volpe... I consider myself fortunate that I got to see Metallica with Cliff Burton not too long before he died in 1986. They were supporting their Master of Puppets album, while they opened for Ozzy. The next time I saw them was at the first Monsters of Rock just before they put out And Justice for All. My favorite concert is when they toured with Queensryche on their "And Justice For All" tour. Queensryche opened for Metallica and played their entire Operation Mindcrime album. That was a show to say the least!
Guitar is one of the hardest instruments to play. To be running around playing like they is unbelievable and to see be precise. Trust me, I play guitar it still blows my mind they can do this.
Hetfield is a beast ,playing Rhythm with the intensity,downpicking speed and precision that he does whilst being the sole vocalist..Lars was at his peak here around this time and Kirk on the ball . Jason's backing vocals are an essential ingredient as well that's missed.
Without fail, this is how I start my Passover Seder every year! We begin with Metallica's Creeping Death, have the Seder, the meal, and watch "The Ten Commandments" (which pretty much ends with the Creeping Death, kinda... mostly, sort of....). Jewish holidays lack heavy metal, so this one is a staple in my home!
Watch The Ten Commandments (1956) with Charlston Heston and Yul Brynner and this song will make perfect sense. Metallica did an awesome job with this one.
Many of Metallica's earlier works had deep religious undertones. Creeping Death is taken from the Book of Exodus in the Bible and the tenth plague brought upon Egypt. Awesome song.
You’re into deep meanings of songs, you are in the right place. ‘One’, by Metallica in its original video format is the epitome of a metal song. ‘Master of Puppets’ is up there too.
Parent's in the 1980's: Metallica plays Devil music Metallica: Plays song about the Passover story from the book of Exodus in the bible. 😎 The poor people who lost their lives that day could have died for several reasons 1) it was in August and HOT and with that many people all crowded together, it made it even hotter so death via heat stroke & dehydration could easily have occurred. 2) The military was out there cracking heads (literally) because they'd never had a metal concert in Russia before so they were a little freaked about the audience reaction and it's not like here - the military could do whatever they wanted and not get into trouble if they killed a kid.
Yes.lov this ! Bad ass . Found them in ‘94 when i was almost 40 and ive. Never looked bk. Im gonna be 66 soon and they still kill it for me! The way james sings.. damn! Glad you found this one👍 dan ,north fl -2/12/22
Funny that you mention the drummers hands, during the last song of the set James cut one of the stops short and Lars cut his thumb open on his snare drum trying to catch up. Lars bled all over his snare while they finished the set.
Lars actually cut his finger during that show and just kept playing and blood splatter flying everywhere.❤ I think he has the drumhead framed somewhere ..Now that's metal
this was during a big part of history..the berlin wall was just knocked down and people from the west and east side could finnaly interact.it was also the first time any bands from america where allowed to play there..so it was huge.
That's not true. This is from 1991. The Moscow Music Peace Festival, with Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Cinderella, the Scorpions and Bon Jovi, was two years earlier in 1989. Two years before THAT, in 1987, a music festival was held in Moscow featuring Carlos Santana, James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers and Bonnie Raitt. That first show only drew about 18,000 people though.
this was at airbase , and wasn't free but at one point the people rushing was so much that they open doors , there where shuttles to base and people asking for a lift , don't forget not every one as a car and like the show many just left the cars where they could and head to the show , and Newsted is wearing the t-shirt from Portugal show
Remember fade to black? If you listen to the live Seattle 1989 version, it’s literally pure bliss to your ears, especially with head phones ! That whole concert is amazing. Any Metallica fan would definitely recommend ! You guys are great with your videos. Please don’t stop reacting to Metallica. Not being able to hear them again for the first time sucks, so seeing you guys hear their music and performances for the first time is nostalgic! Great and amazing content again!!
Not every Metallica fan. 😉 An abundance of awesome live performances of Fade are out there to be had. @Life With Recklezz This concert, which also featured AC/DC, Pantera, The Black Crowes & E.S.T was held at Tushino Airfield, which was used for Russian Military exercises during the Cold War. It's now used for football games.
You gotta react to Metallica live in Seattle 1989. Master of puppets. It’s the ultimate live experience for any metal band ever. The amount of energy is unbelievable.
Badass!! You guys should check out Pantera live in Moscow Domination.. they played right before Metallica 1991 and the Solo in that song Domination is fuckn sick! RIP Dimebag Darrell!!!!
Sometimes when I watch this concert and see camera shots of the huge crowd standing in front of them, I just can't help but think that Metallica isn't human. It feels like no simple human could have that much power in front of 1.6 million people. Metallica are just gods of metal and this concert showcases that so well. They weren't just performing for a few thousand people, this was a whole damn country of people. Awe striking every time
Not one person died at this concert,there were a few hundred injuries but No deaths. 1.6 million in an airfield which was actually just outside or Moscow. It was a different concert held outside the Kremlin where 53 people died, and a much smaller crowd less than 500,000.
MAAAN lemme get that Ernie Irvan shirt! 😂 Y'all are absolutely right about the drummer having the hardest job. I'm a guitarist/bassist, but my brother's a drummer and it's absolute hell on him. He's in much better shape than the rest of us 😂
Another great live show is 1985 Day on the Green For whom the bell tolls Back when James, Lars, Kirk & the late Cliff Burton on bass Cliff does a double somewhat free style bass solo It is extremely mind blowing And they were only in their early 20's Just badass
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 how accurate your statement is... especially when I was growing up nearing the end of the cold war... I remember living in fear that nukes could be launched at any moment 😓😨😲😲😲
They had no idea anything was going on while they were playing. The Russian military was running the show. Metallica literally took a helicopter into the concert, and left via helicopter after they were done. It was the first time western music was allowed into Soviet territory. (ex-Soviet at that point, but not by much)
it wasn't the first time. The Moscow Music Peace Festival was 2 years earlier, in 1989, a two-day festival with Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Cinderella, the Scorpions and Bon Jovi. Two years before that, in 1987, there was a Western music concert there featuring Carlos Santana, James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers and Bonnie Raitt, but that show only drew about 18,000 people.
You have to pay attention to the lyrics after so you can understand the diyng part. Of course they are chanting the lyrics, has nothing to do with the russian soviet war at that time, but people are in the momment screaming die... it's like a therapy session after war is over.
That's pretty much a standard thing at Metallica shows. When they play Creeping Death, they always include that audience participation part. I've seen them live twice (once in 1988 and the next time in 1997) and they did it both times. At the latter show, they let that shit go on for what seemed like 5 minutes.
Hi, you guys are amazing, thanks for reacting to one of the best metal band, ever! Maybe they did got hated on but it was never their intention, in my opinion, a free concert, you are a metal head, fuck, you be prepared! It was never ever their fault. You two are appreciated, thanks and goodnight!,🤟💪
First off, the chanting of Die is part of the song. I'm quite sure the band had no idea of the deaths at the time. And when you have people storm a concert there are gonna be problems. And those deaths were not just because of Metallica, there were several other bands there playing that concert. Like Pantera, Motley Crue, Ozzy and so forth. And you have to remember this was before the internet and mass information. Being a Metallica fan since the beginning us and most of the world didn't hear about the deaths etc. until years later. It may have been mention on the late news one night. but that's about it. Because back then you didn't get all the bad news and a 24 hour news cycle. Plus at the time Russia had just come out of the cold war. And they still controlled all the news. And didn't want bad press. It was a different time and very different thought process than it is today.
There were NO deaths at the Moscow event. In 1988 the event at Donington castle had two people die when the crowd surged toward the stage for guns and roses
The song is about the final plague on Egypt . Prior to the Hebrews being released from their bondage . The Angel Abaddon the Destroyer is " Creeping Death "
Still waiting on you to react to some GOJIRA my man. THE HEAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE, SILVERA, FLYING WHALES, GIFT OF GUILT, DELIVERANCE, OROBORUS, THE ART OF DYING, BORN IN WINTER.. shit anything from this band is fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 I promise you will be blown away. Please give them a chance you won’t be disappointed. They will be in your top 5. GUARANTEED.
As far as the deaths at the show goes, Metallica heard about them and as soon as they did they took care of those who passed, because the felt responsible in a way and it really got to them. These guys really care for the fans.
As much as Metallica tries to promote this as their concert. It was not. It was called For Those About To Rock: Monsters in Moscow. An all day concert with headline bands closed out by AC/DC.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
The concert "venue" was an airfield. Not any houses around. That said rumors exist that some people are STILL trying to get out of the parking lot.
I just got back last week.. Alot has happened lol
🤣🤣😂😂😂
What the fuck do you mean Jason left the fucking band? Dammit Lars What did you do??
An absolute MUST for you to check out is Pantera Domination from that same concert in Moscow.
Amen 100 percent agree.
A must to react to!!
Pantera blew the doors off that shit. No band was that gnarly back then. None
But they are metallica fans ....Lars is way better than vinnie Paul 😅

@RandomMatrix I know but I’m saying they specifically showed it during Harvester
@RandomMatrix I'm just letting them know it was an entire concert with other bands too, it wasn't just a Metallica concert .
@RandomMatrix didn't some of them take off their uniforms & join in on the chaos though?

Ive seen metallica in the 80s, 90s and 2000s and they always bring the energy. Great live band
This was actually a show released to the masses as "binge and purge" boxset. I got this set for christmas in 91. Still have it to this day.
What up guys! Good morning (or afternoon, or night) everyone! Hope all of you wonderful people are having a great day so far!
I was the perfect age to be there. I was 19, 20. I'm so jealous I wasn't there. I saw them three years prior. They melted my face 🤘🫠🤘

The reason they were yelling die, is this because it's a lyric of the song. The song is about the biblical tale of Moses leading Jews out of Egypt

I can't remember which drummer it was, but there was a drummer who broke one of his drums from how hard he hit it. XD
That was just evry days bizznizz back in the Day
Love me sum LARS....there I said it and he’s rite up there wth the gr8test drummers of all time. Happy New Year 2u n yours...
It's good your watching them in their prime. When they still had heart and soul(Jason Newsted) in the band.
Yes I put my body into it in the drums!....it catches up too after playing for 35 years, especially Metallica!
Apparently this concert ,'the Monsters of Rock international music festival' was held at the Tushino Airfield in Moscow, on September 28, 1991,
Hardest drums ever....Black Sabbath live - War Pigs from 1970. Hardest drummin I have ever seen!!
Sabbath dominates that Live in Paris show, the energy onstage is exceptional. Bill Ward puts on a clinic and mashes that kit during War Pigs!
Yep, you can really hear how hard Bill is hitting those drums.
Check please Pantera "domination" live in mosow too,same concert,epic.! cheers,from italy
Another great live show is
1985 Day on the Green
For whom the bell tolls
Back when James, Lars, Kirk & the late Cliff Burton on bass
Cliff does a double somewhat free style bass solo
It is extremely mind blowing

And you have to remember this was before the internet and mass information. Being a Metallica fan since the beginning us and most of the world didn't hear about the deaths etc. until years later. It may have been mention on the late news one night. but that's about it. Because back then you didn't get all the bad news and a 24 hour news cycle. Plus at the time Russia had just come out of the cold war. And they still controlled all the news. And didn't want bad press. It was a different time and very different thought process than it is today.
It would appear that not much has changed in Russia during the last 30 years...
Funny you mentioned how hard the drums being hit Lars actually cuts his hand in "harvester of sorrow" during the pause waiting for James's queue .
From this same concert y'all need to check out Pantera "Domination".
Check out Pantera- Psycho Holiday at the same concert. ‘91 in Moscow
React to domination live 91 mosvow
@ 5:47 . It was an AirPort , Militairy Russian Airport
PANTERA performing DOMINATION at this same concert should be next reaction
There were NO deaths at the Moscow event. In 1988 the event at Donington castle had two people die when the crowd surged toward the stage for guns and roses
8:57 we call that "that's so metal bruh"
I heard that they stopped counting after 1.6 million! 😲 (And to answer your question as to where in Moscow it was held?...It was at Tushino Airfield.)
You want an amazing guitar solo? Check out pantera floods, it has one of the most legendary metal guitar solos of all time.
🔥 vid btw !
It of Their second Album called
" Ride the Lightning "
Track 7 or 9 ....
They would've got hate in the age of social media but not in that time. Maybe a tiny bit but not nearly as much.
The song is about the final plague on Egypt . Prior to the Hebrews being released from their bondage . The Angel Abaddon the Destroyer is " Creeping Death "
Still waiting on you to react to some GOJIRA my man. THE HEAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE, SILVERA, FLYING WHALES, GIFT OF GUILT, DELIVERANCE, OROBORUS, THE ART OF DYING, BORN IN WINTER.. shit anything from this band is fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 I promise you will be blown away. Please give them a chance you won’t be disappointed. They will be in your top 5. GUARANTEED.
After all these years they are still doing this 😂😂🎉
You 100% need to watch the Metallica Whiskey in a Jar Live at Slane Castle in Ireland ☘️
Yes, 1.6 million Russians chanting “die” in unison is a bit alarming.
You have never lived till you have gone to a Metallica concert in the 80s and be on floor for one
You should react to Blackened by Metallica. The live version in Seattle 1989
happy new year
What a free concert on a airfield looks like. EPIC
Another great reaction guys 🔥 “Harvester of Sorrow” from this same concert next 🙌🏽
You should react to Harvester Of Sorrow Moscow 1991
If i remembered correctly, this was at Tushino Airfield, Moscow.
As far as the deaths at the show goes, Metallica heard about them and as soon as they did they took care of those who passed, because the felt responsible in a way and it really got to them. These guys really care for the fans.
Fun fact: there were 270% more people at that concert than the entire population of the state of Vermont
It was played at a military air feild. Heap's of space for that many people.
You have seen the greatest band ever, that guy played drums was born in Denmark, And his group is a hard hitting band which is awesome
officially 1.6 million people but that's when they stopped counting. Rumor has it that it was closer to 3 million people
😎😎😎Black Label Society’s “In This River “Live “Doom Troopin’😎😎😎
If you havent already you should check out Pantera "Domination" same concert
Cool KISS shirt! Now you guys need to watch and react to some KISS!! That would be awesome to start 2022 off!
The die part... that was the song... but fit so perfectly.
This was just after the fall of the wall….Y’all got to do EVH 1986 Eruption solo…..
As much as Metallica tries to promote this as their concert. It was not. It was called For Those About To Rock: Monsters in Moscow. An all day concert with headline bands closed out by AC/DC.
