There are three great things about this - Firstly, James is a total pro and the performance didn’t suffer. Secondly, Kirk really stepped up and totally walked through that like a trooper. And lastly, I miss this band...THIS band. I’m reminded of what they used to be and it’s a good feeling.
Jason was the best Bassist Metallica could ever have dreamed of. He was loyal, had the pure energy and awesome playing and singing skills. What a shame how they treated him.
@@ronnydittrich2181 stop with the oh Metallica treated Jason bad cry me a river bs. They didn't treat him bad. He got hazed in the beginning when they were in their mid 20s because imo they didn't properly grieve cliffs death they just kept going which was good for their career overall but bad for them as individuals. They're human people make mistakes but this whole Jason got treated terrible narrative is just wrong. They were actually good friends for most of that time and in the early 2000s they were in a bad place. James was in a bad place. But he didn't treat Jason real bad or anything the way people make it out to be. It was unfair that he expected Jason not to do a side project when he isn't allowed to contribute much into Metallica but again people are human and make mistakes and James is a diff person than he was 20 years back. People really over exaggerate this shit it's like a RUclips internet trend I've noticed.
It's much easier to sing when you're not playing guitar at the same time too. Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge suddenly gains more detail when he drops the guitar
It’s like George Burns and his cigar. Long after he quit smoking he was so used to have that cigar with him on stage if he didn’t have it his performance was off. Or Ron White and is glass of Whiskey
It is tbh. You should of seen him when he was singing the Unforgiven 3 with the San Fransisco Symphony without his guitar he was just standing there and looked kinda awkward lol but besides that it was a great performance 🤘
Thanks for mentioning someone other than Jason everyone else here is like it's the Jason show or something lol. Kirk nailed the rhythm parts and deserves proper credit too
Jason's such an amazing performer immediately picks up James is having troubles and runs right to the mic to cover for him to allow the mess to get sorted out.
They were all amazing did you watch the same video? Clearly they all stepped up and got through this pretty well they all deserve credit not just Jason.
@Lil' Ike I don't recall saying anything about anyone else in the band? It was a compliment to the bass player they drove away with they're upmost professionalism. They sure stepped it up when they drove him away from the band too. Jason's presence in that band will be forever missed. Rob could never fill the shoes jason did.
Best performance of this song I've ever seen!! Het's frustration adds some genuine rage to his vocals...total beast mode. The tempo is perfect...faster than usual. Newsted's backups and harmonies (even on a thrash classic like this) are so choice! He was the best. Het slamming down the mic at 3:15 is epic. Huge props to whoever filmed & caught this classic moment!
Michael Angelo H. When you're in the elite status as Metallica, you expect no fukups. Especially the money they pay to the techs to produce audio at its peak. So yea, I'll be pissed to.
Actually it was before that. He started feeling strained at the end of the Justice tour and then blew it out during the recording of So What in 1990. So several months of vocal therapy and lessons before he could sing while they were making TBA.
The best James moment was in Dallas around 82 or 83 , James stopped in the middle of a song and wanted to start over because he forgot to hit a pedal .
Yeah he fuxken would have. He was a mega wanker and when James was burnt in Montreal Axl could’ve been the hero of the night. In true Axl style has a hissy fit and then it was on at the show. Selfish, self absorbed little child that behaviour was. No wonder the Gunners broke up. Slash and Duff McKagan were the ones cheated and done over by Axl Rose. His a real arsehole in my opinion. I always use to say to people MetallicA are the better band.
28 years ago, I can’t believe it! I was friends with a guy who worked for Metallica, that tour they came to town and I was on a band that played a lot of their old stuff. Me and my bassist met Lars, Kirk and Jason at a club in east St. Louis, hung out with em all night . The next night had comp tickets and backstage passes, it was epic. To think that was 28 years ago, and today, I’m still on a band that plays their older stuff.... seeing those fans in the snake pit brought it back man....
Dude imagine if we still played music during war like in 1700's. In 1993 just have mtallica playing while at battle, for whome he bell tolls or creeping death! Edit: No one likes war, this isnt to be taken seriously just a joke : ). Metallica is anti-war.
I totally agree that would be badass, I'm a French and Indian war reenactor and a metal head. So when I hear the cannons, muskets, and fife and drum I imagine that it was 1700s Metallica playing us off to battle!
That was monteroius mighty vocal. The Master of heavy metall world of all time. All other metal bands toghether are not equal to METALLICA and Master JAMES HETFIELD!
Kirk is doing a decent job of playing both lead and rhythm guitar with Jason playing the bass and rhythmic parts so it's not exactly perfect but it turned out alright
Man, what a video! What a precious masterpiece of history document this is! The lyrics on the song says "Late at light the systems go and you've come to see the show"... So what better song than this for when the systems have gone bad?
Total pros!! Hetfield is a beast working through that mess. You would never know unless you saw it on video. Thanks for the upload. Much respect to this band at this time. Amazing!
Possibilities; 1-) Connection failure from Rack/amp to PA system 2- The Wireless transmitter or receiver failed from Amp to guitar. It is hard to find out the failed unit and fix that PA problem.
30 лет прошло. А я все ещё не могу спокойно смотреть и слушать это. Спасибо Металлике, спасибо автору! Всем сил, добра и энергии такой, которую даёт эта охрененная музыка!
Damn. I realised How much the bass drives this song by listening to this gig. Cliffs part is really Well written and that Jumping from one string to another is hard as fuck for me. Props to J for riffing that shit he reallly was the best replacement possible

Pfft...
And this isn't the first or last time Jason saved the band.
Matheus true true
The hero we need
Jason!! The hero of the daaaayyy
It needs no mention because everyone knows it. Jason is a beast

Agreed. I like the current metallica, but nowhere near as much as these guys
I mean come on they’re in their late 50s now, here they were in their late 20s, early 30s, they were on their prime
Angel Urbina it was a sad day when Jason left. The live show took a huge hit.
In their prime and the best lineup.. James and Lars total screwed Metallica..
jason letting james know where the working mic was towards end of song. jason was always in tune with this band and should have never left
Jason was the best Bassist Metallica could ever have dreamed of.
He was loyal, had the pure energy and awesome playing and singing skills.
What a shame how they treated him.
i love rob too but his backing vocals is nowhere as good as jason (and energy).

Guitar sucks? Nevermind!
They never stop, they never quit, 'cause they're Metallica!
1st guitar breaks, 2nd guitar isn't ready/is broken (wtf guitar tech?!) then mic breaks. Props to them for keeping the song going!
Probably wasn´t the guitar but James´s sound system, is not working even when he is handed the guitar again
I find it funny how james feels so unconfortable singing without a guitar that he even got the broken one to not feel awkward
That's what happens when you do both extensively together for so long, one feels weird without the other.
It’s like George Burns and his cigar. Long after he quit smoking he was so used to have that cigar with him on stage if he didn’t have it his performance was off.
Or Ron White and is glass of Whiskey
its fucking hilarious
He probably did but it also seems like he kept on trying if it'll work again
It is tbh. You should of seen him when he was singing the Unforgiven 3 with the San Fransisco Symphony without his guitar he was just standing there and looked kinda awkward lol but besides that it was a great performance 🤘
From disaster to awesomeness. Great save by Jason and Kirk.
Thanks for mentioning someone other than Jason everyone else here is like it's the Jason show or something lol. Kirk nailed the rhythm parts and deserves proper credit too
First the Guitar and then the microphone 3:15..... James was unlucky...
1:54 James pointing angrily at a guitar tech

He could actually concentrate fully on his vocals as he's not playing guitar at the same time, that's why it sounds beast!
Helped that he was super pissed about it too
That's exactly what I thought. He's pissed off but also without the guitar he has extra energy. 🤘🤘🤘
This is how they do it with studio recordings too obviously.
God the bass and Jason’s intro is amazing. Plus Kirk carrying the song is killer too. Whoever captured this is crazy lucky.
I miss this metallica!!
Amen to that!
Same
With Jason
shows how good kirk can keep up the rythm part with james as a lead guitar player. and also how an experienced band just deals with tech problems.
That's cuz "lead" guitarist usually play rythmn the majority of the time, DUH! Dumbass!!!!
Steve Warris kirk is a killer rhythm player and his tone is monstrous
You know I never realized this because it was always hidden by his guitar, but James had scarily skinny legs back then holy shit.
ZixiGaming holy shit never noticed lol
He transferred some of his leg muscles to his fingers 🤟🏼
He still does
he is skippin leg day
Really fucking tight jeans though, but yeah compared to his upper body they’re almost the same thickness as his arms lol
0:45 “Bass solo.” Lol yes, Thank you, Kirk.
Jason’s backing vocals are amazing
He made the band sound so much better on stage
when james see's this video now, he will realized this was a bad ass performance and never a disaster. thanks to jason for saving it.
They all saved it not just Jason. The way it just rolled on despite all the issues is a testament to the entire band.
3:17 , Mighty pissed off Hetfield. hahah
Mohd Mulysa Jesus I wouldn’t wanna be his tech at that time
you can't make pappa het mad and live to see the aftermath

if anything it was better because he was pissed off!
@@shietnewfeature.delethethis You're right

One thing about Jason, always taking initiative
God Jason was badass wish he stayed
Axl Rose would already be at the airport if his equipment broke when James' guitar did.
I love that you could hear Jason's bass guitar instead of being drowned out by James's rhythm guitar. Jason carried the song with his bass
