You know, some people say they peaked with Master, some people say they peaked with the Black album, but for me this was their peak. I don’t think they ever sounded better than here. They were firing on all cylinders, without missing a beat. Flawless victory! 🤘
Have you heard their newest double album? They're not done yet. They went back to their roots with that one and even upped the game with their newest bass player Robert Trujillo. Death Magnetic was a reprieve in 2008, however, Hardwired... To Self Destruct from 2016 is on a total different level!
For the whole episode I was waiting for Eddie to start that show, and I kept saying to myself "Let it be Master of Puppets" and when he started playing it I lost my shit, jumped on my feet and started shouting
I think that's Cliff Burton wrote that part inspired by classical music. I'm not sure but it really seems like an opera part. Perhaps that lady identified that moment with any classical music she knows
The first version I ever heard of Master of Puppets was the S&M version, and something about I love so much. Whether it's James' vocals, the strings and brass that keep you in a more tense state of urgency, Jason's backing vocals, or Kirk's solo.
Me too man. As I kid I was a classic music fan and at 15 I first heard this version of Master of puppets and it totally blew me away and then I fell in love with metal music
Same. I was getting into Metallica and my girlfriend wanted to get me the Black Album for my birthday.. Her mom accidentally picked up S&M instead because of the black cover. Lol James only sings like half of the lyrics here, so I had no idea what the crowd was singing the rest of the time. Haha
Michael Kamen is a fucking legend. Arranging MoP in a way where it goes through a noticable metamorphosis of it's complete sound quality, yet still managing to add a next level spirit to the song (notice how every fill and dynamic choice is straight on point) must have taken unimaginable amount of time. And I just can't comprehend how the band and the orchestra played it with such precession. Holy shit. Certainly the best version out there
Not metal music fan, but I have this concert on DVD and I LOVE it. I've bought it many years ago on a sale for about 5$ just from pure curiousity. One of the best decisions ever!
I agree, it's just fascinating! Justice tone is second best 🤘 And the third, I think Black Album (if we talk about live) or Ride the Lightning (if we speak about albums)
definetly their Peak Musically . they really had nothing to prove after that . i personaly gained more respect for this band after i discovered more Technically advanced and Cool bands like Dream theater , Planet X , Steve Morse Band , Aristocrats..... still metallica is my go to music with a special love for Load ( mixed with nostalgia i think ) and this Live Concert which just takes me back to 2001 instantly . i Hope they will deliver on SM2 and i hope they bring back jason on that one as it is kind of an anniversary thing .
@@Carlos.Rivera Hi dude! I AM CHILEAN GUY, here the youth only listen that bullshit named "reguetón" , the heavy metal music for them it is " Noises", they does'nt know that real music is.
This is the first metallica song I heard, almost 17 years ago. I am not talking about the album version but this one. The performance is beyond godly (whatever that means). James is a freaking beast!! I can't picture Master of Puppets without the orchestra. Yes, I like this one more than the Seattle 89 version.
@@mateusmartinsjunior6506 hes probably got some level of autotune here not a lot tho, and he really prepped his voice for this concert, they really gave it their all and nothing less
Since I was a kid I loved Metallica, I remember one day my dad brought me a copy of S&M even though he didn't like metal at all, that DVD became one of my most cherished memories of when I was that age. Now that my dad is gone I remember him listening to this masterpiece, tho, he didn't really knew the great treasure he gave to me just because when I was just an 11 year old kid.
Pony Perez I think he knew he had to keep time for this, couldn’t screw up a whole orchestra. Must have been a hard day for him. No hate I love Metallica.
@@dean0101 in 1999 he was at the top of the game in most shows i have seen, nothing to do with the orchestra. Also he is not looking stressed or anything.
Lars became sloppy after another 4/5 years. He was never great,BUT perfect for Metallica. No one in Metallica after Cliff was great individually but they were tight and fucking GREAT together...that's why they still are together. I haven't heard of any side project of any of them, except the bassist
@@Sicel1304I know right? It would've been a real crime if they didn't do justice while Kirk's and Jame's solo in harmony - but couldn't do it better in my opinion. That French Horn not only works so well in its own, but "accompanies" the guitar. Incredible piece of work.
@@jihwoanahn A story I always like to hear is from a friend of mine who got me into Metallica. One day, he started playing the S&M CD for me in his car, and it was the beginning of Master of Puppets. He looked in his rear view mirror (I was sitting in the back seat) and he said he saw my eyes get so big they nearly popped out of my fucking skull. I had never heard Metallica performing with a symphony before. The hairs on my arms and neck immediately stood up on end, and I demanded to him that he start the CD over from the beginning. The rest is history.
Nicely executed . the best rendition ever of the middle section harmony stuff . Newsted is the master of Metallica Bass groove and he uses the low B pretty cleverly . 2:21 reminds me why i was obsessed with lars playing when i was teenager . what a band !!
I remember when this came out on VHS and DVD back in the day. Just ordered an original copy of this on DVD and can't wait to play it on my home theater system. Wow i waited twenty years to own this blistering concert and just heard Metallica is going to do another show like this. YES
...still my absolute favorite rendition of this epic song! Everything from the symphony to the small artistic differences from the album version is just so fitting and musical. Pure awesomeness
This is outstanding! I've never been a huge Metallica fan. But, they are so passionate, you can't help but be impressed. And, the addition of the orchestra cranks it up several notches.
Esse Cd foi e sempre será inesquecível! Ė imortal. Foi lindo demais! Ė obrigatório DVD, cartão de memória enfim, um meio que seja, para poder, sempre ouvir esse show!
My first contact with metallica was through this video where I saw him for the first time in an introduction of Wing Eleven for Playstation 1 in which they showed Ronaldo Fenômeno's best moves! Thank you so much for introducing me to this work of art.
The first Metallica album my late father ever listened to was S&M afterwards all he ever wanted to listen to was METAL. My father was nothing but Country and Western prior to this.
truely epic solo section. how i loved it when i discovered it. actually loved whole s&m very much, it brought me to metalica, and I guess that opened the door for a lot of other metal stuff (or at least it was another step into that direction). Hope it also was for you, since I wouldn' want to miss all the musical ecstasis eargasm explosions which metalish music provided me over the years. (Don't get me wrong, I think that within every genre there is good stuff to find! But different kinds of music have different effects, and I find that not a lot of other stuff can grant me these total explosions :) )
Stranger Things fans welcome to the club👋 If you turn left, your journey will continue with “Fade to Black.” If you turn right, you will see “One” there. If you move straight, you will see “Nothing Else Matters” there.
@@mitchand9 Ikr, the drums already make you work up a sweat more than others and then add black to it? At least in open air concerts and stuff the cool breeze can help cool you down but indoor venues?
I can only imagine the looks on the orchestra players' faces hearing the album version for the first time. When the melodic middle section started after the speedy charging first part. Then the song picking up speed again.
When you realize the symphony sight read Michael Kamens compososures for all of this at the dress rehearsal, 4hrs before doors opened up. Greatest performance ever.
That moment when you realize that metal and classical music toghether is just a Master piece...
Dr Jag Hell Yeah 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I see what you did there!
A "master of puppets" maybe 👀
when bullies and nerds got together, you mean, lol xD.
clearly you haven't heard symphonic metal

100% true, their 1999 performances are epic!
Big Metallica fan here. It's so nice seeing people coming to find Metallica after watching Eddie yesterday. Bring in the love people 🖤
Yea I loved hearing it on Stranger Things and seeing people you would never expect listening to it now.
Wait until they find out this song is actually over 8 minutes long
For the whole episode I was waiting for Eddie to start that show, and I kept saying to myself "Let it be Master of Puppets" and when he started playing it I lost my shit, jumped on my feet and started shouting
Guys listen to st anger album it's just sexy🤤🤤🤤
At 4:25 one of the violinists gets mesmerized lol what a masterpiece with so much emotion...
I think that's Cliff Burton wrote that part inspired by classical music. I'm not sure but it really seems like an opera part. Perhaps that lady identified that moment with any classical music she knows
That’s the expression of another musician admiring another musician. It’s called respect.
@DEAD GRATEFUL my thoughts exactly
@@rafaelrp07 but that's the solo of James
That violinist is in awe at the beauty of music
I really like how Mr. Hetfield does the *_Shah_* at 8:05 as an effect for the orchestra.
I read Slash and after that i was wondering what is going on with him hahahaha
He always does that live lol
It wasn't for the Orchestra, he always does vocal effects.
In Seattle, 89' James went to the drumkit and hit him. That was after Kirk's solo.
The best version of many Metallica songs came from this performance. Once you hear S&M you can't go back to the normal non orchestral versions
yeah, hero of the day, fuel, devils dance. all made better
Call of Cthulhu is my favorite one
Battery S&M kills
I completely agree
Lies again? Ticket Master
The first version I ever heard of Master of Puppets was the S&M version, and something about I love so much. Whether it's James' vocals, the strings and brass that keep you in a more tense state of urgency, Jason's backing vocals, or Kirk's solo.

Certainly the best version out there
Definitely
WAS a legend. Sadly, he died about four years after this performance.
@@jvondd he'll live forever with his work and be remembered as one of the best film music composers 🕯️
8:10 is so surreal. The heavy main riff with that awesome symphonic part fit so well it’s magical
His vocals are out of this world in this performance
8:00 in combo with Jasons Death Metal growl, Hetfield going “Sshaw”, and the orchestra playing. It is just so amazing
That song is 31 years old. Holy crap!
No more the crap rolls out your mouth again!

1:02 Just the way James sings those opening notes so smoothly, you can tell you're gonna be in for a helluva concert.
James' voice is at its peak during this whole concert. So beautiful.
Thanks to autotune James got his voice back a little bit.
Pretty sure he was taking singing lessons around this time
@@itsisaac537 the autotune makes a huge difference. I didn't even notice till I listened to it when I was older. I thought he was singing good lol
I was there. Balcony right. I still cry when I revisit these songs...
The most civilized metal concert lol
Hehe
Epic level comment
Nubbis
very original
High society metal 🧐🤘
The Best performance for Master of Puppets !!!
The mid-song breakdown has never sounded more beautiful than it did on this album.
one of the best tones metallica has had
I think it's THE best, second is the Black Album tone. (If we're talking live situation)
I agree, it's just fascinating! Justice tone is second best 🤘
And the third, I think Black Album (if we talk about live) or Ride the Lightning (if we speak about albums)
Tones or tunes ?
This was Diezel VH4 here
@@НиколайБучнев-ф2л imo if we're talking studio tone black is first and then either Master or Justice
The bit where he's like obey your master is so epic. James vocal performance is great. One of my favourite versions of master of puppets
This is one of the best crowds I’ve ever seen at any concert
So go see the mexican crowd on the orgullo, pasion y gloria tour, that is a crowd
Moscow 1991
4:30 a young man falls in love with solo.
Thats a woman lol
TA Elder and the whole world wants sloppy seconds
Man, i like vision, i see it too
IS THAT A WOMAN? I'm ON THE HIGH...
Uhhhhh...it is "San Francisco".. just take a guess. Either answer is correct...
5:31 violins start to create hype till the solo comes
that was fantastic
Master of puppets alone in a phenomenal piece and with the orchestra it's just unbelievable.
for me, symphony's arrangement here is way more better than s&m2.
I agree
Waaaaay more better
Paul Padua Yeah it’s much better when the symphony is behind them then around them.
Because Micheal Kamen is passed away, James is old, and Jason Newstad is not in the band.
Amen
Creo que no somos conscientes de lo incomparable de esta versión sino la escuchas unas mil veces seguidas por lo menos.
Llevo 30 veces jaja😊
Me sé de memoria los movimientos de la orquesta de memoria JAJAJA
This makes it clear that Metallica is at it's peak with a full size orchestra behind them
definetly their Peak Musically . they really had nothing to prove after that . i personaly gained more respect for this band after i discovered more Technically advanced and Cool bands like Dream theater , Planet X , Steve Morse Band , Aristocrats..... still metallica is my go to music with a special love for Load ( mixed with nostalgia i think ) and this Live Concert which just takes me back to 2001 instantly . i Hope they will deliver on SM2 and i hope they bring back jason on that one as it is kind of an anniversary thing .

Probably one of the best guitar intros to a song
One of the best songs period :D
legit everyone was 100% here. kirk nailed the solo, lars stayed tempo, james voice is better now doe.
Though* and also Jason's screams were on point
James voice sounds weird
Those were yells, not screams dummy! Screaming is high pitched, not low.
@@mateusmartinsjunior6506 hes probably got some level of autotune here not a lot tho, and he really prepped his voice for this concert, they really gave it their all and nothing less

The proof that metal and classical music fits on perfection
From 5:33 on it gets really epic with the symphony. That part always gives me chills. Beautifully done
5:53 Kirk Hammett in Super Saiyan God mode :O
Haha yes!!
I’m not a metal head or a Metallica fan, but OMFG I absolutely LOVE this song. A masterpiece.
Lars' performance is just insane
Can't believe how fast and focused he is.The man is going like a train on his drums. Possibly he puts the most effort among them.
Very underrated drummer
When Lars is in time he’s very solid. Michael Kamen had them all straightened up with their timing during this show
One of the most greatest LIVES in HISTORY!!!
That laugh makes everything complete
This version of the song is so underrated
LOL lars at 0:12 gets me everytime! The Energy in him is always unreal
After 20 years, never get boring with this live version. Still makes me smile, and Lars's drum part..almost perfect! 🤭💪😁

Im sorry but james is pretty fucking great.Not Cliff but find me someone who can play an sing together like that.And also the riffs
lars was fantastic here i think a big part of it was having to be on time because of the symphony looking forward to the new s and m coming
Jason scream laugh before the guitar solo is the heaviest thing I’ve ever heard , hyped me up so much
Your right brother.
Kirk nailed this solo so well, fucking gold
Loved this album the mix of metal and classical is so unique...pure musicianship from all involved.
It's all thanks to late Cliff Burton's love over classical music
why I coming back after seeing eddie manson??? because this concert is magnificent. Thanks Metallica. 🔥😉🤘

Michael Kamen orchestrated this just beautifully. It gave an already power sound more voltage. This was one of my favourites on the S&M album.

4:30 the admiring look from the violinist is definitely all of us during the solo.
James’s voice… I never forget this voice level 🙏
Still remember listening to this album when it was first released and being blown away by the transition from Cthulhu to this. Just blew my mind
Lars Ulrich at his finest.

Imagine they had done Creeping death and have some choir in behind chanting DIE DIE on that bridge part. It would be awesome.
3:44
goosebumps x-x
Your right. That waiting an anticipation for it to starts yet again and gives me the chills
6:19 to 6:47 is the best riff coming from a solo that I've ever heard.
