Russia has a black population and has for Decades, buuuuttt this was also a time when Notsees were very present (the confed flag is a dead give away) so black people tended to avoid places they were.

[@SatEight]

@@ravenwalker9225 Yes, in the 78 years of the Soviet Union, about 70,000 Africans came here to study, and most of them left after getting their degrees. Even if all the blacks in the Soviet Union had been gathered together at that concert, I'm not sure you would have noticed a single one in that crowd. And the Confederate flag meant nothing in the Soviet Union because no one had any idea who the Confederates were or what their values were. It was just one of the symbols of the Western world, which was perceived as something curious and new and therefore cool.

[@ravenwalker9225]

@@SatEight And literally everything you just said is incorrect, especially about the confederate flag. They KNOW it's a hate symbol and a signal of white supremacy, it's why they chose that flag because the 1930s/40s Notsee flag was outlawed so many places.

[@SatEight]

@@ravenwalker9225 "Ночные волки", the biker club that brought this flag to that concert, still use it today, even though they got involved in politics long ago, are friends of Putin, and call themselves anti-fascists. The most famous stage attire of the vocalist of the most famous post-Soviet punk band, Король и Шут, is a leather cape with a confederate flag on it. He was an anarcho-communist - as far left as you can go. This flag was NOT associated with white supremacy in Russia. Idea of white supremacy itself were not spread then, because the number of blacks was extremely small. It began to gain popularity only after the first Chechen war and especially in the late 1990s, when a wave of migrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia poured into Russia. And if someone wanted to use racist symbols, then obviously in Russia, they always preferred the German and not the American, I hope I don't need to explain why. There were no problems with its use, because it was banned in Moscow in 1997, and in the rest of Russia only in 2002. Which, however, does not prevent far-right bands from using variations of this symbols today. Bands like Коррозия Металла use the swastika with three or six rays instead of the abovementioned four, which is enough to keep the symbol out of the law. Nevertheless, its meaning remains clear.

They estimate between 1.6 to 1.7 million people were there. During the song "Creeping Death" the crowd was screaming "die" over and over again as the band sang it, and guess what? They set off seismic sensors across the country! Almost two million people screaming die and jumping up and down literally caused a seismic event! The story of this concert is deep. Very deep. These people there, they had just overthrown their tyrannical government, the Soviet union. Their government was brutal, to a degree we westerners simply cannot understand. They had been denied basic human rights, economic growth, basic freedoms of any kind, and were ruled be a series of sociopathic monsters who did uncounted horrors to their own people. This was literally the first introduction to freedom, the west, capitalism, and good old fashioned awesomeness. When they screamed "die", they were yelling that towards their government, and the atrocities they had committed. And they meant it. Those helicopters weren't there for a publicity stunt. Those were armed helicopters, and they were there to protect the stage. As that concert was going on, the last vestiges of the Soviet union were being hunted down and brought to heel. This still remains the largest live audience ever. Ever.

"they had just overthrown their tyrannical government, the Soviet union." They voted by well over an 80 % majority via referendum to keep the soviet union. It was broken apart by a minority of nationalists, and foreign interests who stole the wealth of the country and bombed the parliament (duma) through an alcoholic puppet leader (Yeltsin). . According to Unicef, 10 million people died as a result of the sacking of the USSR. They literally became even less democratic, and never recovered, giving rise to oligarchs, Putin, and the invasion of Ukraine. Their economy was the same size in 2020 as when this video was made. Ukraine went from an industrial powerhouse to a GDP behind some African countries. Reform is always better than collapse, and telling the truth is always better than demonizing countries- especially when, like the USSR, they didn't commit any crimes their adversaries didn't commit. And also happened to save the world in 1945.

The amplifiers that the guitars are going through are mic'ed up as well. Everything then is run though a circuit board and played through the house speakers. A sound engineer with then adjust all the levels of the individual microphones. There are usually monitors piped Infront of the stage for the members in the band so they can hear their band mates as well. Though, now adays they have the monitors in there hears like air pods.

Guys, I have to burst your bubble. I'm a black woman 52 years old. I've been listening to heavy metal my entire life. I grew up on rock and really every genre of music. From classical, the country bluegrass, Latin, African drums, disco, singer, songwriters, folk music, three string quartets. Rap music, R&B, funk, blues, punk, new wave, tech, you name it I've probably listened to it or I own it in my music collection. This list goes on and on. And I'm not the only black person. Some of my friends also grew up the same way I did, and they're the same age.... And if you look back in history, you'll see that punk music started with black bands. We were the ink spots of these shows. I saw Metallica in like 1989 or 90. And a huge list of other bands! Probably a whole bunch you've never even heard of, I even saw Michael Jackson, I met Journey when I was like 10. My cousin just recorded with Michael McDonald a few weeks ago. I may have already said this but I was adopted by a huge hippie family in 71. I'm the second youngest and my younger brother is black also. My parents had three biological children and 37 foster kids and they're all older so I heard every type of music under the sun. I think my mom side of family there's 100 people total and still growing. My youngest cousins, I think of your age. And they are Puerto Rican, Yugoslavian, Irish and Black. My family is a big melting pot different cultures. I would say most of my black friends that I do have also were adopted by white families or are interracial. Don't be too quick to judge, you don't know everybody.

there were actually rock bands in the USSR, you can watch them on Russian TV clips from the 80s .

One of my favorite bands of all time 🔥🔥 Metallica and then Mötley Crüe

[@user-ox3es5ew8d]

I absolutely love this band!! Growing up listening to them made the 80s for me lol!! They were in Moscow after the wall fell which was amazing itself!! Then they rocked that place!!

[@grego934]

Virginia Tech uses this song as the teams football entrance song and Metallica is absolutely cool with it . Metallica has actually done live stream messages on their score board on Virginia Tech . When this song plays the stadium goes crazy , everyone jumping up and down screaming , it has actually put readings on the Richter scale for that area of Virginia. The best college football entrance song in the country . There are videos of the entrance showing this . I’ve been there and it is awesome

[@ThePositive0ne1]

As a UVA fan I completely agree that this is the best entrance song for any team pro or college for any sport. And I remember hearing about that area with the Richter scale and everything.

Love seeing black people finally realizing what they've been missing out on with rock lmao. Shit like this is what will bring all of us together while the news and politics keeps trying to divide us. Tons of reaction channels popping up over the last 5 years of people opening their eyes and seeing that metal/rock isn't just noise and screaming, and that the lyrics are a lot deeper in most cases than people think.

[@krissya.k.aspecialk3293]

RIGHT!!

[@psych0CS2]

Rock music has it's roots in Blues. Black musicians are really the reason why rock music exists. White people just took the blues music and changed it Take Elvis's "Hound Dog" That isn't his original song. That song was originally done by Big Mama Thornton in 1952. 4 years before elvis. Led Zeppelin's lyrics from "Whole Lotta Love" were written by Willie Dixon, and released in 1962, sung by Muddy Waters on "You Need Love"

[@scope81]

@@psych0CS2 You're exactly right, which makes it all the better that so many people are rediscovering it.

[@kfleetwood]

Man, black people have been into heavy metal forever. Maybe more black heavy metal bands should get recognition, not just Living Colour. I’ve played in all kinds of bands - metal, punk, country, jazz, classical... We live in an era where everything’s on the table.

[@scope81]

​@@kfleetwood Well of course some have been! Metal was born out of the Blues. You have to admit that somewhere along the road it seems like most black people (at least in America) just stopped listening to that kind of stuff, I'm just glad to see so many coming back to it!

The song is called Enter the Sandman. The Sandman is referencing sleep the song talks about exiting light hence being awake and entering the dark hence sleeping. The weirder things are basically talking about dreams versus nightmares.😊

The meaning of this song is in the title: Enter Sandman! The Sandman is the king of the realm of dreams and the idea of Peter Pan and the nighttime references are ALL about what a person can encounter inside their dreams. As a lifelong fan of this band, the meaning of this song couldn't be more clear if you just pay attention. It's all about dreams, which happens when? At NIGHT... Exit Light, Enter Night... That's it. Nothing more. Rock on! 😀🤘 Aszneth " Asz "
