Metallica - Battery (Live Seattle 1989) (REACTION!!!) THE ENERGY MAN! WOW!!

[@sloppiejoe87]

Insane how Hetfield can play that fast and precise while also singing.

[@sierra2gonzo]

He’s the GOAT

[@JustinPiercee]

Yeah man I agree, and actually sound good too

[@eileenbogle3938]

I was at this concert, I was 17..so much fun!! Its so hard to explain how awesome the 80's metal concerts were. Just innocent. No cell phones, you could smoke inside, and people weren't there for anything else but to rock out. The best is having to go to school the next day wearing your new Metallica shirt that wreaks of cigg smoke and awesome ringing in the ears!!!

This show was over the top. But it wasn't just Seattle. Back then (also being in their "prime") it was like that for every show - and remember this type of music was brand new to most of us at the time. It was kinda mind blowing. I saw them on this tour in '88 and the energy of the arena was that of which I've NEVER felt before. And that fantastic feeling lasted from the beginning until the very end of their shows.

[@Rockon92]

What time to be alive!!

[@loiteringrambler1268]

from 86 to late 92 every show was like this. the shows later on 89-92 were much longer nearly 3 hours. but in 93 you could hear that james voice was done. but those years where the highest peak any musician or group has ever had

[@mztweety1374]

Now I giggle every time I need to change batteries.😂

[@JustinPiercee]

😂😂

[@GeekFurious]

When some Gen-Z type demands "Metallica is mid" and that they don't understand why they are so popular, I link them to this performance. This is how Metallica took over metal. They played shows like this night after night after night and it was impossible to not join their thrash cult.

[@JustinPiercee]

Haha yeah man I agree, they’re insane live hey

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

And after a two hour set, they came back with the double encore and did "BREADFAN" with the same ferocious playing as they started the show with.

[@johngeiger3770]

All that brief growls in Thrash Metal concert like the one James give is what inspired the birth of Death Metal.

[@JustinPiercee]

ahaha true!

[@YerkoCornejo-fd4kv]

Is true

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Cronos did that, not Hetfield

[@adrianthayer4591]

I was there. Thanks for the BJ Angie. Good fucking music too

[@jeff-9608]

When you play the same song night after night for months, you naturally just play it faster.

[@nickcolbert9615]

That and cocaine. Even Kirk admitted they were on some “special vitamins” that night because they wanted to be extra badass for the cameras.

[@cristealaurentiu2440]

GOAT

[@gungriffen]

Jason throwing down 115% this concert!

[@arotom]

whiplash from the same consert is even faster

[@melaniejordan1199]

This was sick live. I've always loved jammin' to the song but watching Lars... jeez! My arms ache! LOL

[@chris8534]

Love it. Metallica Disposable Heroes please

[@yuritesticoff1141]

Peak blow fueled James,.and ooooooooooooo boy that paid.dividends when it came to this old footage

[@michaelklein8598]

Yeah, that one will blow your hair back. 🖤💨🔥❤️‍🔥🤩🔥🔥

[@robertosavard6750]

Pour ceuxqui disent que Lars ne sait pas jouer du drum.....ecoutez ce show de plus de 2 heures qui selon moi et beaucoup de fans est leur meilleur a vie.....sachant que cette version de battery est ete interpreté apres plus de 2 heures de show...... et venez osez encore dire que Lars ne sait pas jouer. Oui aujourd hui il est moins precis et moins vites ils approchent tous les 60 ans mais a cette epoque,Lars etait intouchable et au top de son art. Je dis toujours que la musique c est comme le sports,ceux qui passent apres les autres veulent etre meilleurs et plus rapides que les precedents. Oui la batterie a evolué des fois pour le meilleur comme Joey Jordisson(pour moi le meilleur batteur) des fois pour le pire comme le black metal qui ne fait que frapper plus vite encore et encore. Oui leurs vitesses est impressionnante mais mois j aime pas. Et pour moi Lars restera mon drummer prefere grace a qui j ai appris a jouer du drums et il le restera pour le reste de ma vie. Metal up your ass les metalleux🤘🤘🤘

[@parkersproule6751]

Bro you kinda look like young James lmao

[@JustinPiercee]

Hahah man maybe if I shave my chin and have the lemme chops😆

[@richardl9242]

Back when Lars was on a steady cocaine diet! 😂

[@8tonystark8]

You, as James Hetfield look-alike, don't know about the famous YEAH?!??

[@JustinPiercee]

hahah thats his trade mark, along with his down picking

[@atikaj.8087]

if you can play this on guitar............

[@JustinPiercee]

Hahah yeah I ca play this one, dunno about this fast for the entire song downpicking like James does tho hahah

[@Jdwdogg]

One word... THRASH
