Hey guys, would really appreciate it if you could leave a like if you’re enjoying these videos! I hope you’ll stick around for more Heavy Metal Reactions, endless requests to get through and I can’t wait!🔥
Now you have enjoyed the performance, look up the lyrics and watch again. You will gain an even greater appreciation of Metallica. Creeping Death along with Master of Puppets are among some of my favorite songs lyrically
Can't really blame them: this works with the high energy and difference, rawness and all that *if you know the song already* - otherwise it is messy, hard to follow and probably quite overwhelming. Live versions of songs work best for fans, you can't fault these kids for not really being into it just like that.
When you do Enter Sandman, see it on this Monster's of Rock concert too. It was the first song of that gig. There's a helicopter shot where you will see the magnitude of the crowd, just insane.
React to “Domination” by Pantera at the same show. Metallica is my favorite band, but Pantera is second, but they stole the show with that performance. Rip Dime and Vinnie!
Ray Robinson Metallica in Seattle 1989 is the apex of all metallica shows ever. Lots of YT videos existing, take a deeper look. The crowd is going insane \m/
@SORE LOSER LIBERAL Yes. Right after the long pause they always make in the live versions. Apparently, James was trolling the public with the duration of that pause. And that caused Lars to be confused and hit one of the cymbals sharp sides.
At least they put effort into learning and understanding the genre. Be grateful for that instead of repeating the arrogant, never-ending shit-mantra about how stupid young people nowadays are. I love metal but I always hated the stubborn, "superioristic" elitism of the metal community. Fuck that. Love the music and give everyone time to learn how and why it is great, don't shit on people who are new to this kind of music. If you watch mindfully you will realize that this generation is way more open minded when it comes to music than the majority of our generation was back then.
there were so many people there because it was a free concert lol. this was right after the collapse of the soviet union. an incredible moment in history.
If you drunk and fall in 1.6kk crowd, you have every chance to die. But yes, several fans including me were beaten by special forces. Was hurt but not lethal.
The riff that starts at 5:37 still makes Kirk Hammet emotional everytime he plays it Live, he created it when he was teenager and now he's in his 50s, kinda crazy when you think about it.
Live performances...oh boy anything from Seattle 1989..my favourite from that concert is Welcome Home (Sanatarium)..Fade to Black is their best performance of that song which is again from Moscow 1991...seriously you're right it's endless but I'd recommend those 2 off the top of my head.
This is the very first time these people got to see a concert like this , first taste of freedom and they came out for it !! Biggest rock concert ever .
The Soviet soldiers beat people to death there.This was the first metal concert they'd ever seen and didn't know how people acted at concerts.They thought the concert goers were freaking out and beat the shit out of them. Thanks👍
Sorry Jimini not the first..the Moscow Peace Festival was in 1989 and i'm not even sure if that was the first...the line up was Skid Row/Cinderella/Bon Jovi/Motley Crue/Gorky Park/Ozzy Osbourne and the Scorpions ruclips.net/video/NZRT_jt0UZc/видео.html also Black Sabbath toured Moscow in 89 as well
I can remember hearing this track on the Friday rock show on Radio1 with the late Tommy Vance as a teen in ‘83. I’d never heard any metal track this fast before and was blown away! 😎
Some interesting facts about this concert: It was right after the Iron Curtain fell, and the record label flew Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC and one other band into an airfield outside Moscow. There were military helicopters flying over the crowd, trying to control them. But the military and police in Russia had never seen moshpits or anything like this before, so they were beating on people. After a while they realized they couldn't do anything. You can see the some of the soldiers in their typical Soviet hats in front of the stage. Eventually they threw their hats off and joined the crowds instead. What an introduction to Western culture and music that was. Amazing stuff. Oh, and the concert was free.
I got to see them live a couple weeks ago and it is a wild sensation to have 65,000 people screaming “DIE!” I can only imagine 1.6 Million people all in unision
I have no idea, what I am doing here. Reactions is the most bizzare genre on youtube, but this is my favourite metallica live ever! And your girlfriend is just adorable. Lucky dude
Chills Everytime. 😁 I haven't scanned the comments yet, but yes, the crowd chants "die" and acts as the background to the next verse...it's fun to be there. People love the participation with the song.
In one of the songs from that show you see a military helicopter flying just over the top of the crowd. I believe It was the first time that western rock bands were allowed to tour Russia. It was a historic event. Pretty much every band there was top notch for the genre.
Probably it was the first big festival with western rock bands. But there were several bands before, who were allowed to go behind the so called "iron curtain": Scorpions toured around 1988 in Russia. The hit-song "Wind of change" describes their impressions about that. Also were Iron Maiden in Poland in 1984, and Uriah Heep in Russia in 1987.
April 10th 1993, Metallica was live in Jakarta Indonesia. Unfortunately the concert was chaotic because of the fans were histerical when Metallica played Creeping Death. They went crazy and wanted to burn the stage. The chaos still continued even the concert was over. Many people died back then
I've been watching tons of reactions to this show in the last few weeks. It cracks me up that nearly no one gets or mentions the significance of Soviet citizens flying the American flag in 1991.
1983...Metallica Debut Album Kill 'Em All released... 10-year-old kid from Scotland, UK, was never the same again. NEVER gets old. Now live in Texas but damn that is a band!
No bro, it started with around 500k, by when Metallica hit the stage they were about 1.2M. Just look at the sea crowd there, 500k doesn't fit with that size of crowd
Metallica - Enter Sandman Metallica - Sad but True Metallica - Unforgiven Metallica - Wherever I May Roam Metallica - My Friend of Misery requesting these because the black album is a great gateway for those new to metal. It helps foster that untrained ear.(plus they’re awesome songs too!)
this concert was held in September 1991 and was a continuation of the Monsters Of Rock festival tour in Donington and besides Metallica there was and other bands in Moscow there was Pantera, Metallica etc ... but the stars of that festival were AC / DC ..... in the original Donington were The Black Croves, Queensryche, Motley Crue, Metallica and AC / DC
If you watch their performance of Sandman in Moscow you can see guards hoisting each other up on their shoulders and rocking out, whipping their jackets in the air. There's an interview with James Hetfield on here somewhere, and he confirms it: Soviet guards (the younger ones only I'm sure) literally went "fuck it." They tossed their hats into the air and rocked out with everyone else.
Goddamn Hetfield is without a doubt the godfather of all heavy metal Front men. That power stance, those brutal vocals and the way he owns those riffs and that guitar on stage effortlessly while headbangin like a fking psychopath reaffirms my statement..
It's pretty awesome to think about. Playing for over a million people plus being in one of the biggest bands in the world before you've even turned thirty.
1.6 Million people...Officially...but crowd scan said it was most likely more...and this is only 3rd on the all time list of crowds at an open air concert. #1 is Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a crowd of 3.5 Million in 1994. #2 was Jean Michel Jarre in 1997 also in Russia, like that Metallica show, with 3.5 Million.
It was shortly after the Berlin Wall came down and the Cold War was thought to be over, they organised the Monsters of Rock concert, Pantera, Black Crowes, Metallica and AC/DC were the bands brought in, the then ultimate in Western Rock is the spirit of the new open Russia, organised with heavy influence from Premier Gorbachev. The concert was a Tushino Airport, their was no ticket price, it was free to enter and security was literally a Division of Russian troops. So yes this was beyond epic. And consider that the 1+ million attendees were then mostly around 20-30yrs old, they would now be around 45-60yrs old,some of the people at that gig are now the old men and women directing the country.....
That festival was one of the most important moments in the recent history. It's not about the music itself, it is about what it meant: The first festival in USSR that had foreign bands(western).If you actually watch the full festival you'll see all the fights between the crowd and the army, the american flag(think about the fact that it happened in USSR), basically the whole moment marked the end of the communism as it's been known until that time.
You can hear the music in the back because they have speakers back there and the concert was free for people to go to so nobody payed to go or knew who it was
What the fook?!? Is that the notorious on your wall in the back ground? Nice! 👍 Greetings from America and from an Irish American. Just came across your channel. Hope you two are really enjoying Metallica! Not sure if you’re aware but the inspiration for “creeping death” is biblical! Literally! It’s in reference to the book of exodus and Israelites deliverance from slavery. Metallica is one of the best musical acts out there! Over any genre! Period! Take care!
It was not just Metallica but there were also other bands present and the main act at this concert was AC DC. So you cant give credit for the concert attendees to Metallica only.
\m/ I saw in the comments below, you really should react to Pantera in Moscow during the same tour. You will see an entire other sea of people and heavy, hard hitting music. You made the comment that the song was long. Metallica wasn't interested with the lengths of songs when they started. You will notice most songs that get radio play are about 3:00 longs or so. That way they won't interrupt the commercials. Metallica made music to please the fans and didn't care about the radio play. Great reaction. \m/ =D
You can pretty much pick any Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Danzig, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendancies.... Even the hair metal drew insane crowds. Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Guns and Roses...all huge crowd drawers. I'd love to watch you view any of them... (I think Skid Row and maybe Guns and Roses were at Moscow, too. There was something unique about it, I don't recall exactly, but it was the first time they were allowed to have a metal festival, or something like that, and they got the heaviest to come! 👍)
Lewis Harvey I respect your opinion but why? AC/DC has changed the culture of hard rock and rock n roll. They’re a pioneer of the genre itself. 46 years later and still selling out arenas and playing world tours. Yes they’re music is repetitive but it’s what everybody loves about them. They perfect the little things and send a shock wave of adrenaline to every venue they play. Gotta respect them man
You should definitively listen to "And justice for all" from their 1989 concert in Seattle, it might just be the best vocal performance from James. It might just be considered as the best concert from Metallica and if not it's Monsters of Rock from 1991. Anyway they are both awesome and if you want to continue with Monsters of Rock, you should give a chance to "Harvester of Sorrow". P.S: You should look up the lyrics once you're done listening to the song and trust me, you won't regret it.
the people could see & hear they had 11 - 30 foot tv screens all over the place so the people could see what was happening up on stage & it was a free concert & they do go over the concert with a helicopter its wild !!!!!
Hey Guys! Great job (Y) This Live in Moscow 1991 just fucking amazing! Check it out the Pantera Band performance, they played thats day too. Heavy Metal Rules !m! Greetings from Venezuela.

@@SleepParty30 are you an actual flat earth supporter?
Hearing 1.6 million yell “DIE” at the top of their lungs NEVER gets old!
Djentyman it also terrified all the guards they had there, I think that’s part of why he did it.
1.6 million angry russians yelling "DIE" is the most frightening thing
@@Cody2nd Nah, that was a thing at Metallica gigs for years before this.
500,000....not 1.6 million
CHR 15 nooo. This show had over a million
They're just chilling and I'm over here headbanging lol.
DyersEve haha same . Great name by the way.
I know they're like robots with no soul.
Pantera stole this whole venue though, probably their best performance ever.
DyersEve "DyersEve" well then , that explain it all
Can't really blame them: this works with the high energy and difference, rawness and all that *if you know the song already* - otherwise it is messy, hard to follow and probably quite overwhelming. Live versions of songs work best for fans, you can't fault these kids for not really being into it just like that.
Dude there is no better back vocal in this universe than Jason Newsted !! His vocals and James's vocals combined is the best drug you can experience.
When you do Enter Sandman, see it on this Monster's of Rock concert too. It was the first song of that gig. There's a helicopter shot where you will see the magnitude of the crowd, just insane.

Seattle 89 was hell on earth in the best way
It's kinda hard to count how many people were at the festival because it was a free show... this festival was put after the fall of the Soviet Union
Soviet Union gone, western bands come, EVERYBODY COME!
Cameron Robertson they were still under control during this. It fell days later.
The concert was Sept 28 1991. It was still USSR at this point. The Soviet Union didn't fall until Dec 31 1991

Thanks dude. Came to say exactly this.
HARVESTER OF SORROW from the same concert check it out its fire 🔥
@SORE LOSER LIBERAL and he also cutted his hand during that song with one of his cymbals lmao
@SORE LOSER LIBERAL Yes. Right after the long pause they always make in the live versions. Apparently, James was trolling the public with the duration of that pause. And that caused Lars to be confused and hit one of the cymbals sharp sides.
Harvester of Sorrow is probably my favorite Metallica song. They'd like it too, it's very accessible for beginners.
Best live video ever
James voice though 😱😱😱 I can never grasp how epic his voice were back then!!!
Fade to black by Metallica is a beautiful masterpiece
No shit
PANTERA - DOMINATION live in Moscow 1991. Same show, one of the craziest solos ever!
best thing pantera ever done
SHUT UP
when kids react to one of the greatest metal band of all time and have no idea what that is.
I am just grateful to have been able to see them during this era!

The bill on that day was Metallica, Pantera, The Black Crowes, and AC/DC headlining.
One of these things is not like the other..
Metallica songs you all need to react to:
Fade to Black
Blackened
Dyers Eve
The Unforgiven
Battery
Fight Fire With Fire
To live is to die is also a great song ( one of my favourites ) and it isn't that hard-core at first
The riff that starts at 5:37 still makes Kirk Hammet emotional everytime he plays it Live, he created it when he was teenager and now he's in his 50s, kinda crazy when you think about it.
The energy at the beginning of that song is absolutely epic
The energy is amazing through out the whole song
Feels good when there are still people appreciating the Metal
Love you reaction videos
thank you!
That concert was the fall of the Soviet Union lol even the guards and military began head banging
Welcome to 500,000 people. Watched an interview with the band and they were talking about this concert and the amount of ppl there!! CRAZY!!

Also check out AC/DC from the same festival “Monsters of Rock” 1991. It’s amazing! Metallica are the metal gods and AC/DC are the rock n roll gods
Scotty W I disagree with the AC/DC statement
Lewis Harvey I respect your opinion but why? AC/DC has changed the culture of hard rock and rock n roll. They’re a pioneer of the genre itself. 46 years later and still selling out arenas and playing world tours. Yes they’re music is repetitive but it’s what everybody loves about them. They perfect the little things and send a shock wave of adrenaline to every venue they play. Gotta respect them man
You should definitively listen to "And justice for all" from their 1989 concert in Seattle, it might just be the best vocal performance from James. It might just be considered as the best concert from Metallica and if not it's Monsters of Rock from 1991. Anyway they are both awesome and if you want to continue with Monsters of Rock, you should give a chance to
"Harvester of Sorrow". P.S: You should look up the lyrics once you're done listening to the song and trust me, you won't regret it.
BTW guys Metallica is playing in Ireland this year if you wanna check out a live show.
the people could see & hear they had 11 - 30 foot tv screens all over the place so the people could see what was happening up on stage & it was a free concert & they do go over the concert with a helicopter its wild !!!!!
How can anyone not be a fan, seeing this?
Pantera - Domination, Amazing solo and heaviest breakdown by far and played at the same concert as this video
