I was about to comment about this. I had this video playing in the living room and had to explain to my wife and 2yo son how Hetfield’s fluid pick exchange while playing and singing “watch it die” is one bad ass move that no one on earth will be able to replicate. I’m embarrassed to say that I made them rewatch this scene at least 3x and I’ve probably watched it over 20x myself.
I was in the snake pit in front of Lars during this one, and I can tell that the dude is giving EVERYTHING he has during the double bass part. From song one till the end of the show the guy is playing every beats like it’s the last one
He wasn't moving his legs lol. He uses a backing track for that part. It's easy to mug for the camera when you've got tracks playing the hard bits for you *Maybe* when you saw him he was doing it, but in this video he doesn't move his legs during the double kicks.
James is a symbol of hope for me. To see all the shit he’s been through in his life and the battle with his personal demons yet continue to fight and come out on the better side of things just inspires me to apply that fight to my own life. I know he’ll never see this but it had to be said.
@@G-Man01 His father left the family when he was a teenager, shortly after that his mom died of cancer after refusing treatment for religious reasons, and then many many years of struggling with alcohol addiction after that
Let's not kid ourselves. No one is getting better with age. But... the level of awesome they are maintaining is astounding and incredible. I love this band!🤘🏻
The only one that aged well is James. Lars has a smaller kit, which sound awful, at least he is hitting the double bass. Trujillo backing vocals sucks and Kirk remains the same with less energy.
@@MarcusVinicius-qo8hpoh yeah iron maiden are still fuckin beasts at their shows! Gotta hand it to Alice Cooper too tho whom I saw in 2012 and 2017 both shows at 65+ and from what I've seen hes still doing all that theatretics such as "head chopping" make up and that whole stuff that makes his shows spectacular for a guy who's now 75!
I dunno, I actually have to commend Metallica for putting out their live videos so much. They don't ever need to release a disc with video again if they just keep sharing these videos (which have enhanced HD benefits). I'd say just enjoy their YT videos! They're excellent as they are, freely available whenever you want to, there's no big real reason to package them up and sell them when they're already available here to watch for free! I still gotta agree with you on the fact this recording is killer though!
This is their best album ever. I will NEVER understand how Jamez can play some of their songs while singing. He's literally the greatest front man to ever live "musically" and "lyrically" in my opinion. Greatest band to ever exist.
@@tommy_14blackened is one of their harder songs actually. Playing it that fast is not as easy as it looks. Pair that with singing it while maintaining the rhythm and it becomes ASTOUNDINGLY difficult
@@DMLGhoops no fucking way (sarcasm if you didn’t get it). I said I don’t think it’s one of their harder songs to me because I’ve spent some weeks perfecting it.
James at 60 is still a powerhouse of down picking and energy in general. It’s absolutely amazing, I don’t think there’s another band at their age who keeps the energy as if they’re still in their 20’s.
Agree! Nobody cares if he skips a few strokes or does some upstrokes... When using 3 fingers, it's harder to do small hand movements and James likes big chunky hits, while Kirk prefers micro-movements... Either way he's still the master of downpicking!🤘
@@eldiablo3794 I own dozens of metal albums from the 80's. Great bands, from several metal areas. Kirk Hammett, in my opinion, was by far, the best of the lead guitar players. One creative motherfucker right there. I also love fast improvisation and chaotic shredding, but Kirk really took the art of thrash metal solos to another level.
@@donnieanddad2012 Dude give me a break. If they wrote the song.. I'm pretty sure they can handle playing the whole, complete song lol challenging or not. Blackened is not that hard of a song to play drumming wise and less challenging song to play compared to the rest of the songs on that album. It's actually a pretty straightforward song imo.. They also cut out the best part of the song. Kirk's complete solo from that song is awesome.
@@eldiablo3794 I think you are confusing simple and easy. It is simple, yes, but the timing required to make the transitions seamless is not easy at all. I'm saying that as a drummer who has auditioned for a Metallica tribute band with three amazing musicians in it. It sounded good but everybody has to be in sync. A lot can go wrong.
imagine writing riffs this brutal all those years ago, imagine being 60 playing them till this day still being as fucking Brutal, best band to walk earth.
probably one of my favourite metallica songs EVER, the guitar drums vocals so powerful!!! the intro is something Norse gods listen to before fighting wars in heaven
The first album that I have bought from Metallica, was "And Justice for All" and guess what's immediately my favorite track (nr.1 "BLACKEND")! HELL YEAH 🤘🤘🤘
@@tranks7485 To be fair it's hard to see and even harder if you're not a drummer yourself (I played semi-professionally but not at Lars' level), but I'm as near to certain as I can be that he's not playing it. I still give him credit for being a genius arranger though, he did most of that for Metallica. They wouldn't be where they are without him. Just wish he'd practice drums more!!
@@matturner6890 Yeah I used to drum aswell and it just sounds waaay to clean for him and you are right there is minimal movement. But again Lars did make them mainstream soo 🤷🏻
@sadsadsa asadasd no one is asking him to be in his prime. He's 60. He's not 25 playing AJFA anymore obviously. But everyone has been making fun of him since like late 2000's. Because he wasn't doing so hot on the drums. Now he's killing it.
I've been very critical of Metallica's performances and their overall sound the last 10 years, but I have to say that has all improved with this tour. Their performance is almost flawless and the sound guys has improved also I believe. Lars plays better now than he did 5 years ago, and he also has a cooler color finish on his drums, lol. Yellow looks way better than his old purple or orange sparkle.
So powerful. What a show. That crowd is amped up. This is Metallica on top form. Takes me back to seeing the band tour ‘and justice for all’ at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. That whole set was killer apart from Jason Newsteads bass solo. I remember at the end of the show they played Iron Maidens ‘The Prowler’ and a jokey version of ‘run to the hills’. Some of the guitar work on Blackened has always reminded me a bit of Iron Maiden. There is no other monster like Metallica, there were others but they died off, disappeared up their own arseholes or just became meaningless. Will the torch be passed on to another set of up and coming bands? Or will Metallica be the last of their breed. Whatever happens they will forever be tattooed on my soul. 🤘🏼
You attended one of their three shows at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1988 during their Damage Justice tour? If you can recall, which night did you attend? Was it the one that was filmed on the 11th? 👀🤔
I honestly can’t remember which date I went on. I wasn’t aware that any of their London gigs were recorded. I remember the amazing camaraderie of the crowd outside waiting for the show. So many wearing Metallica t shirts, some holding flags. Talking to strangers about our favourite Metallica songs. The entire experience is one I will never forget. Going home on the tube ears ringing from the huge sonic battery. One of my favourite memories from my teen years. Up until then I’d only seen, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Uriah Heep and Motörhead and the only band that assaulted my ears like Metallica was Motörhead. I think I’d have known if it was the one that was recorded so I probably wasn’t at that gig, sorry.
Im a Metallica fan since 1985, to keep up this level of intensity and playing at their age is amazing.. They're still doing it no problem...Blackened Blackened....
I must say that this tour is special. Through their smiles, their energies, the interaction with the public even before the beginning of each show... They show us that they take as much pleasure as we do. I can't wait for the next show, you know the one Lars promises at each end 🤘🇫🇷
I hate that they don't play the whole solo section but what they play here(and fir their age)is incredible 😎👌 love metallica, I don't sometimes think people understand how physically demanding these songs are and that for the most part they are still playing them 👏♥️🔥
They just nail it live, I can't believe how awesome this performance is. This is a hard song to play. I've probably listened to Blackened more times than any other metal song, and it never grows old.
I would have to say that this is the best Metallica has played live in years. It's like they care again & have a little fire in them, as they did when they were young. Only difference is back on the AJFA tour, I seen them and the Cult for $30 a ticket. Now it's $250 to $300 for nosebleed, if you're lucky to get a ticket before they sell out 6 months before the show?
Probably the reason they aren't coming to my tiny Portugal, for this tour. And they play here all the time. I assume there's not enough market for such expensive tickets. Plus, for these gigantic concerts, unless you are right up there, close to the stage, it's not really worth it, in my opinion. To see them so far way. It's really psychologic, just to say "I WAS THERE!"
on a beau connaitre par coeur ce titre, rien à faire, ça donne les frissons. Quelle énergie et maitrise. Les 4horsemen démontrent qu'ils restent les boss du métal mondial. Respect et merci.
I've seen them in 1991, 1992, and 2022. Metallica 2022 was the best concert I have ever been to. I have been to hundreds of concerts from all likes of bands, and for Metallica in '22, I didn't want to leave my seat. Also, because my wife was at this concert with me for only the second time ever and she is now my new concert buddy!!! I digress, never heard this song in concert, that's why I love youtube!!!!
I am so grateful for this band and for that song especially! I was born in the early 80's, so this has been around most of my life, and unlike me, it has not gotten any worse with age.
They need to start rehearsing on And Justice for All, The Frayed Ends of Sanity (songs they haven't played live since a couple of years now) Dyers Eve, To Live is to Die (Songs they haven't Played live since +10 years), and Eye of the Beholder (They haven't played live in +30 years) and prepare to play live the Justice album. If they could do this amazing event during their passage at the Power Trip Festival in October, this would be historical!!!
James voice is like some sort of Metal ASMR for my anxiety. He converts my anxiety into amped up energy and pure happiness. Forever grateful to Papa Het!
Papa Het's voice keeps getting better and better like a fine wine or an aging cigar in a humidor. Been along for the ride with the boys since i was 13 in 1981 and i am now 55 and still rocking Metallica daily. You boys are the GOAT, can't wait till you get back to the states so i can see you live again 🤘
Wow, they killed it, I'm shocked at how amazing they're sounding considering they're pushing 60, they're performing at a level of men half their age and they're sounding downright incredible. Rob Trujillo's bass adds so much punch to this, fuck me, I hope to see these guys live sometime soon, because what a frigging show.
I wish James brought out one of his old ESP MX-220's for this one. Other than that, this was an ECSTATIC performance! Also that intro with the glitching guitars coming in and out was really cool! That old justice tone is the most VISCIOUS and CRUSHING guitar tone I've ever heard.
Wanna feel old? Rob has been in Metallica for 20 years 😱😱😱
Ouch!!
Ohhh... 😨 really??
Wow
He's still the new guy lol
he looks so young on stage
I’ve heard this song maybe a thousand times and I still get goosebumps when that intro hits. Every. Single. Time.
Yes agree 100% 🤘😎
same and the bridge too.
same here... same here
would go close to being the best ever intro ever written.
Newsted made it
5:08 how James flicks his pick and grabs another one right before the harmony is so slick! Hetfield is still the fucking man.
Agreed. I hope I age as bad ass as this guy!

that was really fast
unbelievable
You cannot be pointing these things out, it makes me question if James is a real human and not some subspeices metal monster
Yeah I saw that! Freakin epic
Trujillo's bass sounds so thick! Sounds KILLER!!!
Heavy AF and so is his power stance bro
Sound way better than the album
Finally Justice for bass
I was in the snake pit in front of Lars during this one, and I can tell that the dude is giving EVERYTHING he has during the double bass part. From song one till the end of the show the guy is playing every beats like it’s the last one

yep
James is one of my biggest idols in life too, for those reasons as well as more, the true godfather of metal
What's he been through?

Has for about 42 years . Keep it in GD shape. And 60that tough as can be

It's amazing. Too bad I hear it better in the video than at the venue. The microphone was too low. Or was the audience screaming too loud ? 😊
Sounds so good! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
Forevar young🎉
"Blackened" is one of my favorite songs ever, and so damn powerful. A must in every Metallica concert as far as I'm concerned.
not on no repeat set lists sorry :P
It’s super rare that a band gets better as they age!
Fucking superstars. Hot fire.

Been air drumming this song for years and never get bored
I pray that they release the whole show on Blu-ray disc! Absolutely killer!!
Since they film every concert like a BluRay, I am pretty sure, they will. Maybe another cinematic release.

1:22 Lmao it's my buddies and me shouting "OUAIS LAAARRRSS ! LAAAARSS !". The stairs conducting to his drumkits was just in front of us !
4:45 great drum roll !

Lars Fucked up the intro Fills XD
I did..
@@hetfield144Seems to be your thing
This is a stinkfest, all over the place from start to finish
I'm not sure but it actually sounded slightly faster than the album version.
4:40 one of the many drum fills in AJfA that's very satisfying when you listen to it, though it may seem simple to nail it
I was there, it was so amazing to experience this song live in 2023, thank you Metallica !

Pick up a guitar and try to keep up with this concert. When you fail miserably, realize James is 60 years old.
I learned guitar to this album back in 1998. Long before the internet. It forced me to be a better player.

130 BPM! How does Lars keep a 130bpm tempo at this age? That was pretty much flawless.
Plus 40 years of muscle memory..
not even 130 its like 190 at the start
and they say Lars sucks at drums
It’s faster than 130 BPM bud I think he’s back on the powder 😂
130 is slow.
Lars's double bass is pretty much flawless these days ! It's crazy compared to just a few years back.

I feel like Trujillo is just every Metallica fan just living his dream getting to rock out with Metallica every day.
I Don't think any of us will ever get tired of hearing this record. And Justice For All Is a Masterpiece
I hope they live until they are 200
Wow metallica is going full on classics with blackened. ❤🔥
I do have a soft spot for "Ain't My Bitch." Honestly, I think it works great on a live gig.
They play Blackened pretty frequently.
probably one of my favourite metallica songs EVER, the guitar drums vocals so powerful!!! the intro is something Norse gods listen to before fighting wars in heaven

Is it just me or does James' live vocals get better and better with every tour

Glad they're releasing vids of them doing their older songs for this concert 🤘🏻
Give the sound guy a raise. The uploads for the last few months have sounded amazing… On another level
Just saw this played live at Download in the UK and it blew my mind how good it sounded. Easily the most epic song of the night. What a show
Dude I gotta give credit where credit is due. Lars has definitely stepped his drumming up and Papa Het's voice is good as ever.

Agreed you would think kirk could do it simple hammer ons/ pull offs. The thing he does in 1/3 metallica solos.
yeah that’s my favorite part of the whole song lmao
Yeah that's annoying as hell. Best part of the solo
Too hard for them to play, they even mess it up in the Seattle concert.
I always get Fomo from that and have to go a listen the whole album 😅
This song is the benchmark of how well they’re still doing at their age imo. And after seeing this, I’d say they’re no where close to being done.
Amazing to see ‘em blasting the stage and being in such kick ass shape!!🙏🤟

I would have to say that this is the best Metallica has played live in years. It's like they care again & have a little fire in them, as they did when they were young. Only difference is back on the AJFA tour, I seen them and the Cult for $30 a ticket. Now it's $250 to $300 for nosebleed, if you're lucky to get a ticket before they sell out 6 months before the show?
Probably the reason they aren't coming to my tiny Portugal, for this tour. And they play here all the time. I assume there's not enough market for such expensive tickets. Plus, for these gigantic concerts, unless you are right up there, close to the stage, it's not really worth it, in my opinion. To see them so far way. It's really psychologic, just to say "I WAS THERE!"
That's called value.
IIWII.
The pandemic hiatus put a little more fire in everyone
on a beau connaitre par coeur ce titre, rien à faire, ça donne les frissons. Quelle énergie et maitrise. Les 4horsemen démontrent qu'ils restent les boss du métal mondial. Respect et merci.
These guys are at a late-career peak and they know it. Good on them!
I've seen them in 1991, 1992, and 2022. Metallica 2022 was the best concert I have ever been to. I have been to hundreds of concerts from all likes of bands, and for Metallica in '22, I didn't want to leave my seat. Also, because my wife was at this concert with me for only the second time ever and she is now my new concert buddy!!! I digress, never heard this song in concert, that's why I love youtube!!!!
Absolutely amazing they are so locked in and Lars is kicking some major ass
James down picking stamina is amazing.. looks like a jackhammer chugging away on the guitar on that intro shot. 🤘🏾🔨🎸🔥
And at 60. Dude’s a beast.
Seeing James playing it enthusiastically, as we can see at 3:06 , and sober, it makes every Metallica fan very happy
They sound tight!
I am so grateful for this band and for that song especially! I was born in the early 80's, so this has been around most of my life, and unlike me, it has not gotten any worse with age.
I hope Blackened gets played at the LA dates
I was at this show and this set list was so good! Loved every second of it!
They need to start rehearsing on And Justice for All, The Frayed Ends of Sanity (songs they haven't played live since a couple of years now) Dyers Eve, To Live is to Die (Songs they haven't Played live since +10 years), and Eye of the Beholder (They haven't played live in +30 years) and prepare to play live the Justice album.
If they could do this amazing event during their passage at the Power Trip Festival in October, this would be historical!!!
Holy cow! I was NOT expecting the ol' boys to sound this good. THis is absolutely EPIC!
Brings a tear to my eye as I headbang 🥲🤘
Lars has improved a lot his skills for this tour. No absurd fills, better double bass technique.
Yes I was at this show (and two days later) Lars made few mistakes and add somme very good fills !
The skills were there always he was just lazy last couple years
it is a fake bass drum track, pay attention at 02:48, he stop moving his left leg but the bass drums keep making its sound
@@rodrigocamposparada8821Glad to see I'm not the only one to notice that. This is a fucking playback double bass.
@@rodrigocamposparada8821ever heard of triggers?
James voice is like some sort of Metal ASMR for my anxiety. He converts my anxiety into amped up energy and pure happiness. Forever grateful to Papa Het!
The "shortened" version of why I love Metallica so much?? You said it, "...they make me happy." Bam.
This is the one song I pray I have the opportunity to see live... A beast of a performance!
All songs of Metallica are Hits ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
That's what I keep saying!!!
Papa Het's voice keeps getting better and better like a fine wine or an aging cigar in a humidor. Been along for the ride with the boys since i was 13 in 1981 and i am now 55 and still rocking Metallica daily. You boys are the GOAT, can't wait till you get back to the states so i can see you live again 🤘
You're 65, not 55.
6:46 is a dope ass shot. Lars smashing the drums and James in the backround doing his thing 🤘
Wow, they killed it, I'm shocked at how amazing they're sounding considering they're pushing 60, they're performing at a level of men half their age and they're sounding downright incredible. Rob Trujillo's bass adds so much punch to this, fuck me, I hope to see these guys live sometime soon, because what a frigging show.
all justice songs are deadly monstrous live because everything is in place!!
THIS was THE song for me, the first one I heard and the one that got me in all this metal world! I still remember hearing it for the first time!
They sound fucking amazing!
I wish James brought out one of his old ESP MX-220's for this one. Other than that, this was an ECSTATIC performance! Also that intro with the glitching guitars coming in and out was really cool! That old justice tone is the most VISCIOUS and CRUSHING guitar tone I've ever heard.
what a time to be metallica fans
The sound is phenomenal!!!!
Metallica is on fire. 🤘💙
Metallica are back baby ....my favourite album of all time absolutely amazing ...wow.just.....WOW......😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
My god what a way to open a show
THE LION ROARS AGAIN
