He's doing that on purpose either that or he's got a terrible cold. Watch some Tiny Desk concerts on MPR. Haven't you ever been to a rock concert? They usually only lip synch when they have horrible colds or flu, or their voice is worn out. Most concerts I have been to (Mr. Bungle, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Quicksand, Helmet, Rickie Skaggs, Primus etc.) all sounded as good but somewhat different than the albums. Now when I saw Iron Maiden in Liousville Bruce Dickenson had a terrible cold and soar throat but still sang, just not nearly as well.
Yep. At the very-very least it would be an option to do what Sabbaths did with Paranoid at the Beat Club or Deep Purple with Black Night at some charts show - play very close to the original but still live. Speaking of which, Deep Purple lip-synched "Fireball", but guitarist Ritchie Blackmore "played" his guitar holding it in flipped (back to front). :D
The fact that Metallica played the most vulgar song in their ENTIRE catalogue when they were told to not curse is one of the best middle fingers I could think of. I'm pretty sure the original was banned in it's home country for a bit because it was considered too obscene. Freaking love it.

Austin Thompson you sound close minded and ignorant. There are plenty of talented pop artist with incredible voices, who play instruments and write their own music. Just because you don’t like a genre doesn’t mean no one who makes it is talented
absolutely. They will never rip off their audience by lip syncing, but you always get a show :) (i am wondering what instrument Ed got, he probably swapped with Nicko)
Hey professional Audio and Lighting tech here! You can totally pull that off live. Some shows just have programmed effects that are saved to hot keys that you press on the board so you can run the show off of that and help get timing to fit in with a live show. I’ve heard it been called busking!
Hey man, gotta give the fans a good show no matter what! And MEtallica re the ultimate professionals in the metal world. Every detail gets covered...until lars fucks up the intro to damage inc somehow.
so, what have we learned here kids? - resist the system in a humerous way (see Iron Maiden) - instead of showing the industry the middle finger, just demask them (every lip-sync refusal) - tell 'em "so what?" (Metallica) - be intelligent (Nirvana) - come up with a manifest (Manson) - or hide your weiner behind a bass guitar (RHCP) Just brilliant!

Since the reason Metallica not playing King Nothing is not mentioned, here is the reason for anyone curious as to why they played what they played. "Of special note was that MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance. The band was upset by this so the band disregarded performing their scheduled single "King Nothing" and played the non-TV friendly songs "Last Caress" (has lyrics pertaining to murder and rape) and "So What?" (known for its bestiality and other controversial subjects content). The result was the performance and any references to Metallica during the ceremony have been removed from future broadcasts of the ceremony." Word of mouth was that the executives that told Metallica this was a bit of an ass about it, which is what set Metallica off.
I can't read what you are saying, all it says is: "Since the reason Metallica not playing King Nothing is not mentioned, here is the reason for anyone curious as to why they played what they played. "Of special note was that MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were"
Well then you'd have loved it at Download, as they did Wasted Years there, and Bruce (being the adorable idiot that he is) decided to fuck around with Adrian's microphone during the chorus (after calling it Downpour Festival because of the weather).
***** Yes and no, as I usually come across them by accident, although it's a deliberate accident because I look at random videos. Most of them are religious iditards who think that they are better than everybody else because they have a certain set of beliefs. Unfortunately, I've not seen many recently, although I hope to change that soon because I need to offer a dose of reality to another troll. As for Iron Maiden and Download, I was actually there, and it was fucking brilliant (was also my second time seeing them). Not just that, but I got to catch a glimpse of Ed Force One (the world's most beautiful plane).
***** First time I saw them was when they were in Aberdeen in 2011, and they were brilliant then (even though the sound was shit and a minor slip up involving me and concrete meant that I had to visit the first aid area just behind the stage).
Gotta love Manson being all rebellious with his wardrobe, then playing the radio friendly version of his biggest hit. Couldn't quite go all the way with it.
Shotgun Zombie And when they got UK Christmas number 1 and Zack de la Rocha promised not to sing "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" but went out and sang it anyway
That Manson MTV performance changed my life when I was a kid. It triggered this rebellious side in me and a love for rock music and counter culture. I was 11 years old.
Dude had huge balls for the era just like Alice and Bowie did in the 70/80s before him. You can see the influence in it. Was a heavy hitter band for a decade or so before he got too big for his head...and his belt
Hope you recover soon from that trauma. Life is cool and there is a lot of music out there, and remember to never use again a rockstar as a template for life.
I remember the Manson performance live, it was hilarious Puff Daddy and the rappers started covering their eyes and ran for the exits in their Sunday Church clothes. He definitely made an impression lol.
Yeah they literally got kicked off SNL and removed from the building before they could do their 2nd song and Tim Commerford responded by ripping up an American flag, kicking open Steve Forbes dressing room door, and throwing the pieces at him You literally cant top that on a list of rebellious tv appearances
@ I'm not sure what point you think you're making. Why would they do that in China? They're not Chinese Also they spent most of the 90s funding the EZLN in Mexico. Giving money to radical left wing separatists is pretty hardcore

@Austin Gonder. That escalated rather quickly.. bottom line, if you are disturbed by what manson says, that's your opinion. But mason's right to say what he believes, tests (and therefore strengthens) one of the founding principles our country sought independence for, freedom of speech. So more power to an artist who expresses his beliefs and stands for American ideals, in the face of small minded ppl.
Metallica is amazing, when the clip played I started singing along, Say what you want about them but they’re one of the bests, they do what THEY want, and you can clearly tell they’re not fake or doing it just for the money. They’re doing what they love and they’ll do their way.
Hey metal bands, keep being metal. We won’t be suppressed by authoritarian bullshit. Asking any band with any sort of credibility to lip sync is just asking for trouble. These are musicians that have tirelessly played together with actual instruments and they work hard to get where they are. They can’t be compared to a pretty face that’s put in a recording studio with auto tune.

+Matty Narcy yep, his illness was in his head
austin denotter and your illness is in your ass?
He's a prized twat.

Lmao kurt playing the guitar like a gta san andreas character😂😂
Edit: Huh. Thats a lot of likes.
LMAO i lost my shit
Everyone: "Can you play Smells like teen spirit?"
Kurt: "Ah shit, here we go again"
Found a guitarist for OG Loc.
Doing the chorus in his best Morrissey voice… 😆

The iggy pop I’m bored bit is my last brain cell during exams
Lol, Kurt is playing like a Guitar Hero character
He´s playing like his Guitar Hero 5 character plays
He swallowed the mic
Iron Maiden are so good, that Steve can sing exactly like Bruce and Bruce is a guitar god!
playing "so what" on MTV while being live was great.

The Endless Nameless performance is an exemple of the anger
Hey WHERE IS Kurdt cobane and CURT COCAINE??
Rock/Metal bands: refuse to lipsync
Justin Bieber: asks for lipsync
That's the difference between pop and rock. Pop acts are manufactured products, rock stars are artists.
Agreed, but pop groups can also be artists. Every genre has real artists, but some genres just have more of them.
@@jomy10-games no...no...no, popstars will never be artists.
@@austinthompson340 You're wrong, there are great pop groups, just not the one you hear on thee radio all day
Austin Thompson you sound close minded and ignorant. There are plenty of talented pop artist with incredible voices, who play instruments and write their own music. Just because you don’t like a genre doesn’t mean no one who makes it is talented
Kurt performed a real-life lounge act. Legendary.
Maiden's was the best XD
absolutely. They will never rip off their audience by lip syncing, but you always get a show :) (i am wondering what instrument Ed got, he probably swapped with Nicko)
Manson has a point
Celine StClair not nirvana
not really, the guy is just weird.
*one fuckin minute*
I love it how Billie and mike destroy their guitars and tré is like “ain’t no one going near my drums”
Cobain trolled so hard god damn hahah
I’m the only one who really liked that Kurt cobain singing lol
I swear, he sounds good no matter how hard he tries to sing bad
Nop, you’re not the only one. He sounds like a 50s crooner.
I think the idea was to sound like Morrissey
Hahah Kurt at the beginning was hilarious!
MustObeyTheRules he was and always will be a legend
MustObeyTheRules
hell yeah
Goes well with a song he started to hate
MustObeyTheRules Ikr love him ❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂
More and more he begins to seem like a whiny bitch to me.
Can someone go help Bille joe smash that guitar he's really struggling
He's a small man
Often people just use cheap shitty guitars, that break easier for their last songs. He did that with a decent, well built guitar.
This should just be a testament to titebond lol

Wouldn't it be awkward if it didn't break and he had to give up and walk away?

Metallica: let’s be rebellious and not play King Nothing!
Also Metallica: Make sure our light show matches Last Caress
Hey professional Audio and Lighting tech here! You can totally pull that off live. Some shows just have programmed effects that are saved to hot keys that you press on the board so you can run the show off of that and help get timing to fit in with a live show. I’ve heard it been called busking!
Hey man, gotta give the fans a good show no matter what! And MEtallica re the ultimate professionals in the metal world. Every detail gets covered...until lars fucks up the intro to damage inc somehow.
I know alot of people don't like Green Day (I like their old stuff better but anyways) whenever I watch this, I laugh when Billie Joe rants
He wasted like 2 minutes talking trash lol.
it reeked of self-importance.he was like a child,
I LOVE GREEN DAY I HAVE ALL THERE ALBUMS I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS MATE
lmao,,, """I been around since 19fucking88,,"".. what a tool..
Yeah liked their old stuff but when I got in HS and American Idiot came out I was like wtf.
the iron maiden one made me happy.
so, what have we learned here kids?
- resist the system in a humerous way (see Iron Maiden)
- instead of showing the industry the middle finger, just demask them (every lip-sync refusal)
- tell 'em "so what?" (Metallica)
- be intelligent (Nirvana)
- come up with a manifest (Manson)
- or hide your weiner behind a bass guitar (RHCP)
Just brilliant!
cringe. Also being a junkie scumbag and then blowing your head off with a shotgun isn't intelligent.
@@Terminxman haha wow that was sooo funny haha i laughed so hard omg oh shit oh fuck hahha ha.
@@Terminxman probably just like their other cases? you do know professionals take care of crime scenes right?
Beardedcap you must be someone who gets mad at people’s success and joyful at their tragic downfall... and sit behind a screen while they all become stars

Fun fact, if you skip the Greenday part at a certain speed, you can hear billie say f*ck every time you skip, truly encapsulates the art of Billie joe armstrong
Since the reason Metallica not playing King Nothing is not mentioned, here is the reason for anyone curious as to why they played what they played.
"Of special note was that MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance. The band was upset by this so the band disregarded performing their scheduled single "King Nothing" and played the non-TV friendly songs "Last Caress" (has lyrics pertaining to murder and rape) and "So What?" (known for its bestiality and other controversial subjects content). The result was the performance and any references to Metallica during the ceremony have been removed from future broadcasts of the ceremony."
Word of mouth was that the executives that told Metallica this was a bit of an ass about it, which is what set Metallica off.
Thanks
I can't read what you are saying, all it says is:
"Since the reason Metallica not playing King Nothing is not mentioned, here is the reason for anyone curious as to why they played what they played.
"Of special note was that MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were"
... that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance
Giacomo Bannella Yeah that's awkward I couldn't read the entire comment in my phone.
I read it just fine
"2 days later he entered rehab for alcohol and drugs" 😂😂😂
Iron Maiden ruining the TV show in a perfect way
Well then you'd have loved it at Download, as they did Wasted Years there, and Bruce (being the adorable idiot that he is) decided to fuck around with Adrian's microphone during the chorus (after calling it Downpour Festival because of the weather).
professional troll hunter so you're really a troll hunter then
*****
Yes and no, as I usually come across them by accident, although it's a deliberate accident because I look at random videos. Most of them are religious iditards who think that they are better than everybody else because they have a certain set of beliefs. Unfortunately, I've not seen many recently, although I hope to change that soon because I need to offer a dose of reality to another troll. As for Iron Maiden and Download, I was actually there, and it was fucking brilliant (was also my second time seeing them). Not just that, but I got to catch a glimpse of Ed Force One (the world's most beautiful plane).
*****
First time I saw them was when they were in Aberdeen in 2011, and they were brilliant then (even though the sound was shit and a minor slip up involving me and concrete meant that I had to visit the first aid area just behind the stage).
Yeah. That was the best one! They were hilarious! 🤣
Gotta love Manson being all rebellious with his wardrobe, then playing the radio friendly version of his biggest hit. Couldn't quite go all the way with it.
@2:18 The answer to anyone that says Metallica went soft in the 90s

Kurt Cobain was a freaking legend. My new favorite version of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Whenever ''Teen Spirit'' starts in my head, it's that version.
Oh hell, how can they ignore Rage Against The Machine's treasure trove of rebellious performances?! Heresy. Such fail. -_-
Especially when they lit the American flag on fire during Woodstock
Shotgun Zombie And when they got UK Christmas number 1 and Zack de la Rocha promised not to sing "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" but went out and sang it anyway
MrLildiamond78 Classic RATM
owen wanklyn Ikr? Also classic.
That Manson MTV performance changed my life when I was a kid. It triggered this rebellious side in me and a love for rock music and counter culture. I was 11 years old.
Nightowl333 it thought you to hate Christian's too huh?
what song was Marilyn Manson playing at the end
@@FelixMarshFTW Beautiful people
Dude had huge balls for the era just like Alice and Bowie did in the 70/80s before him. You can see the influence in it. Was a heavy hitter band for a decade or so before he got too big for his head...and his belt
Hope you recover soon from that trauma. Life is cool and there is a lot of music out there, and remember to never use again a rockstar as a template for life.
billie joe armstrong: *stops song and curses and proceeds to smash his guitar*
loudwire's subtitle during his outrage: two days later he entered rehab
Yes, a lame attempt to belittle him.
4:39 I love how Mike is like, I guess we're smashing guitars
That’s just Flea being Flea
Gotta love the way Metallica managed to give Mtv the middle finger and yet give the fans a great show. They're amazing.
I love how poor Adrian was the only member of Maiden who tried staying serious..
It was Wasted Years.. He can't help but singing along with his best song
Beast Asaur I was hoping that I wasn’t the only person who noticed this!
Yeah. But he was cracking up too. Just look at his face, when he looks at the others. 🤣
I remember the Manson performance live, it was hilarious Puff Daddy and the rappers started covering their eyes and ran for the exits in their Sunday Church clothes. He definitely made an impression lol.
Weird how Rage Against The Machine isn't on this list, they have many "rebellious" moments.
GZA they have their own video: 10 unforgettable RATM moments 🤘🏽
7:33 isn't long enough
Yeah they literally got kicked off SNL and removed from the building before they could do their 2nd song and Tim Commerford responded by ripping up an American flag, kicking open Steve Forbes dressing room door, and throwing the pieces at him
You literally cant top that on a list of rebellious tv appearances
They've started multiple riots and now that there back, it will happen again
@ I'm not sure what point you think you're making. Why would they do that in China? They're not Chinese
Also they spent most of the 90s funding the EZLN in Mexico. Giving money to radical left wing separatists is pretty hardcore
Why did Kurt sound like Depeche Mode for sec there?
XD
More like Ville Valo in my opinion.
+Flick The Kid I thought it was cool actually. I really like this version for some reason!
Damn it now I want Depeche Mode to do a version of that song now!
Lol
Nirvana's performance on Top of the Pops was classic..
blica 1 Who was playing guitar on More than a Feeling, er I mean Teen Spirit? Not exactly refusing to use a backing track...
blica 1 Nirvana at their most dangerous woulda been playing Territorial Pissings instead of Teen Spirit on The Word. The studio got trashed.
blica 1 Teen Spirit needed more Cure-style vocal performances like the Top of the Pops version. ^_^
I like the one where RATM played Killing in the Name live on BBC radio at Christmas when they were told not to curse. Ironically the song got to number 1 in 2009.
Quote of the Decade:
"I'm not Justin Bieber you motherf**kers"
That was so cringeworthy. I felt like saying, "Yeah, because Justin Bieber's better." What a dorky wannabe punk.
@@chocomanger6873 you're literally an edgy commenter on a video and he's world-wide famous. His music is praised as some of the best in rock, shut up nobody cares

Choco Manger
You guys are having an immature argument, we all have different opinions, and mine is JB and Green Day both fucking suck, go listen to Led Zepplin or something
@@chocomanger6873 You're a moron Green Day was VERY punk when they started out and they rode the emo wave before it even came.
And that was the last time anyone ever told Metallica what to play...
And so they went on to produce St.Anger, DM, HWTSD, because nobody can tell James and Lars what kind of music to write.
Dm and HWTSD were good
Its called a contract. They agreed to play certain songs in exchange for money. They were basically being dicks. Brats. Just like bjs little bitch ass. I have pubes that have been around since 88. Does that mean i get to go to work and dictate how things are going to be when im not even the boss?

I love what Marilyn Manson did. And also what Metallica did
TheWatcher _ fuck Marilyn Manson
@@AustinGonder Fuck you.
@Austin Gonder. That escalated rather quickly.. bottom line, if you are disturbed by what manson says, that's your opinion. But mason's right to say what he believes, tests (and therefore strengthens) one of the founding principles our country sought independence for, freedom of speech.
So more power to an artist who expresses his beliefs and stands for American ideals, in the face of small minded ppl.
Metallica is amazing, when the clip played I started singing along, Say what you want about them but they’re one of the bests, they do what THEY want, and you can clearly tell they’re not fake or doing it just for the money. They’re doing what they love and they’ll do their way.
4:37 that perfectly good guitar ;-;
See bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden actually play when performing live.
I was 2004 on a concert Metallica didn't play instruments they screwed me of my Money I did throw a bottle water o and got fucking arrested.

Hey metal bands, keep being metal. We won’t be suppressed by authoritarian bullshit.
Asking any band with any sort of credibility to lip sync is just asking for trouble. These are musicians that have tirelessly played together with actual instruments and they work hard to get where they are. They can’t be compared to a pretty face that’s put in a recording studio with auto tune.
