Metallica: Bleeding Me (San Francisco, CA - December 19, 2021)

[@jaimin9777]

that intro....:)

[@Karim-ln9dw]

The most beautiful intro I’ve ever heard

[@MikePScott624]

@@Karim-ln9dw yea bob rock was a genius, that backing track is sick. Close your eyes listen its 1996 again

[@liger5953]

So spiritual 😮🤟🎸

[@rayfran06]

Haha dude I know ...as much as I've heard this song ...goddamn ....it's like when TOOL did that alternative version of Pushit live ...I like it...where did this come from with them?

[@TheKartoffel101]

Now I wish even more they would have done this on SM2

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I wish Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn we're worked into the sets more often.

[@the_unforgiven_13_8]

If these songs were played oftenly it wouldn't be so special when they play.

[@larrzara8296]

Love both 😍, the way James sing these songs is awesome!!!!

[@jamesstack7237]

@@the_unforgiven_13_8 Agreed. We saw Metallica a few years back and I was very surprised to hear them play The Unforgiven III. They didn't play it the first time I saw them after Death Magnetic came out so I was pleasantly surprised.

[@Randomrand]

Yes, but James needs to protect his voice by singing some parts in lower key or collabing with the audience.

[@maxlu9373]

If it's theraputic for you James then play it more often

[@mikeortiz9664]

It's therapeutic for me too

[@Brazpastrop]

It's also therapeutic for us ! A great song !

[@EDDIE_CARP]

In fact, there are already two concerts in a row where they played it again. And again James said "This song moves a lot of feelings in me" It's not textual, but it's what he meant that the song moves him a lot.

[@czkmeister]

@@EDDIE_CARP What moves me is both the song and the performance.

[@Karim-ln9dw]

@@EDDIE_CARP I’ve been at their 3rd European concert in Florence, I’ve had a hope to hear this song life, but they have played “No Leaf Clover” unfortunately… I can’t say that it was a disappointment,definitely not, but it was unpleasant because “No Leaf Clover” is not as beautiful as “Bleeding” is. Anyway, it was amazing experience, and I really hope somedays we will enjoy their future “Load” anniversary shows…

[@axelcubias8457]

Without a doubt Metallica’s rawest, most heartfelt bangers they have. This song is unreal.

[@Karim-ln9dw]

Totally agree with you

[@mr.metalhead719]

I agree its crazy good but raw? Id argue st anger (album) is much more raw

[@DavidThomas-me6pi]

It’s in my top 5.

[@ChrisBrownHitMe]

@@mr.metalhead719 St. Anger is definitely a super raw album, I agree. I would say that the lyrics, in terms of what James was channeling, is up there with in terms of digging deep/rawness. He stated in an interview that songs off of Load/Re-Load are some of his favorites, just because of where he went musically and lyrically with them. They're some of my favorites.

[@eddiewmmcknight13]

Agreed 💯👍 72 Flavors Has Its , "..& Justice For All" Moments Too. Metal On !!! 🤘😉🎸🎸

[@metalhead719]

This is one of Metallica’s greatest songs of all time. They need to play more from this era.

[@clichenachos3109]

childish thrash metal snob here, i have no problem with these types of songs, and i love em. the reason i think these songs arent played as often is becuase james is struggling to sing them, ESPECIALLY fixxxer.

[@NDB469]

Bleeding Me is my favorite Metallica song. It’s a culmination of everything I love about music and Metallica. Potent vocals, very haunting and melodic, heavy enough, oddly captivating. I’ve heard it 300 times and always stop to listen to it.

[@gailflora1835]

I just discovered it a few years ago. I don’t know where the heck I’ve been!! I love it.

[@danielmontano9879]

I lost absolutely all of my shit when the intro turned into the actual song. It has been my favorite song for decades now and I knew that seeing this live would be a once in a lifetime thing for me. I had a slight hope they would play it that weekend, but this was next level. Love the respect they gave to the Load/Reload era.

[@enjoiThePain]

This was totally me as well. Started freaking out during the intro, definitely shed a few tears throughout the song. I never thought I’d be able to see that song live❤️

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I definitely rank Bleeding Me among my top 3 MetallicA songs. Hands down.

[@srallulrich]

You're lucky that intro is just something else

[@MikePScott624]

Robs backing vocals suck 3:38 4:55 No feeling or attitude just there

[@circuito77]

They played this song live at Rock in Rio Lisbon 2008, and I didn't appreciate it enough in that moment, I wanted faster songs to be played in the gig. Well, such underrated song, to be listened in the calm days.

[@packpock4369]

This to me is one of their best songs, they don't play it as much.. My God it gives you chills from the opening to the end.. Underrated as hell..

[@srallulrich]

That intro is just something next fucking level

[@Karim-ln9dw]

Это интро действительно одна из самых прекрасных вещей, которые исполняла Металлика. Вроде бы настолько простое, но насколько оно красивое… Кто бы мог подумать в далеких 80-ых, что именно эти ребята будут творить ТАКУЮ музыку… Бесподобная группа в своем роде, живые легенды.

[@lioubinos99]

The struggle and the sob in James voice during the chorus reflects the real struggle that this song is about. Phenomenal

[@JoseGutierrez-mj4mx]

My friend and i were musing about what songs they'd play and the entire weekend I kept insisting they'd do Bleeding Me. I told them, "I just feel it in my soul they're gonna do Bleeding Me." There at the show, the intro tapes start and I'm still skeptical but once James starts that intro I literally start shouting, "NO WAY, NO, I TOLD YOU." Definitely one my favorite concert memories. Top 5 for sure.

[@Karim-ln9dw]

And tonight they have played it one more time…

[@deepinspired]

This song heals where therapy fails.

[@coreysmithson4002]

7:11- James really feeling the deeper meaning of the song 7:15- Someone's dad just enjoying the show

[@leandro11824]

I started listening Metallica when I was 10 years old. Today, 24 years later, I can say that this song still moves me every time I hear it. What a great song!!

[@roberthammock3179]

I'm sure a bunch of people may have said this before, but Metallica's music saved my life. I'd be in prison or dead if it weren't for them. Thank you Metallica for all you've done and continue to do!

[@counthenny9160]

I was there, and had been waiting to see Bleeding Me live for 16+ shows haaa :D

[@ryanparkin6156]

My favourite Metallica song, I just love how it builds and builds as he's fighting his demons and then there's the release with that wonderful guitar solo which fits perfectly with the lyrics and what he's saying , and then as the solo ends you feel like he's come out the other end and everything is good again, it's a song that has always brought me round when I'm at my lowest as it gives me the strength to fight......

[@joshuamartins9487]

Dude wtf is Lars doing in the verses !? He steps all over the vocals, with all the extra cymbal hits he's adding in !

[@TheDrunkSpartan1337]

I'm far from a Lars basher but this is some godawful drumming right here. The mixing for the drums isn't the best either.

[@elizabethhock4414]

I love this one, I wish they'd play it more often. Therapeutic for me too!

Goosebumps all over (especially when solo kicks in). Such a magnificent piece of music. I love it

[@Brazpastrop]

The intro looks like the intro of Echoes from Pink Floyd! Totally awsome!

[@Remop]

Exactly what i thought too.

[@sunny_disposition]

I’m ashamed to see so many comments about how many of you have always loved this song, these guys had a huge influence on me in my formative years, were my favorite musicians for many years. Somehow I missed this one. I never gave Load / Reload / Garage Inc much of a chance. But hey I’m happy I found it now all these years later. Never expected to have new Metallica that’s this good. Reminds me of why they captured my attention so hard way back when….

[@myhamithgarcia9145]

How can "this James" sing live every time every song better and better... Even if i've listened to those songs billions of time it sounds like i always heard something new... Explosion of emotions in his voice... And Kirk, Robert, Lars also amazing every time. Imagine life at this end of 20tiest and start of this new one without Metallica. It would be end of the world!
