be honest someone out there, Dave Mustaine gave them their big break..

[@kencoakley3959]

The first time I saw Metallica was on April 26, 1986, opening for Ozzy Osbourne at the Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. They still had Cliff Burton.

[@danhann6598]

April 23 ‘86 here in providence and queensryche were an add on for that show !

Golden days

[@OpheliaDarkling]

@@danhann6598 wow! great era for Queensryche too. Must have been a killer show

Brenden Byrne Arena New Jersey. My first time seeing them, not realizing what I was witnessing. Then out comes Ozzy with his glitter robe... Metallica with Cliff 🙏

James is such a brighter and healthier person these days. Going sober really makes a difference.

How is he doing these days ? I hope he is well, and will remain sober for the rest of his life !

Love James' not so subtle method of telling Lars to stop talking by playing riffs lmao

Love how James randomly starts that riff mid way .

3:07 James still has that kid enthusiasm 😂

[@ladeseddy5994]

Robert played with Ozzy for years. IMO best Ozzy line was Robert, Joe Holmes and Mike Bordin on drums. Hands down. Round '96.

Saw this show, Metallica opened up for Ozzy, in Hampton, Virginia just before we lost Cliff. I'm grateful to see the legend perform.

I was there in 1986 when they opened up 4 Ozzy it was f**king crazy !!! R.I.P Cliff you rocked that show !!!

That’s incredible that you Witnessed that!! 😮

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

I have no problem with hearing Metallica stories told by Lars.

[@stephenm8725]

he can really spin a solid yarn

[@leenahusa1806]

Unfortunately yes...

[@DudeMcGuybro]

Slipknot has this same story. They were asked to play Ozzfest 99 because Jack Osbourne was a huge fan lol. It's cool to see two of my favorite bands have a similar story about how they got their break. Ozzy fuckin rules!

[@marvinshenk]

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been so important for keeping metal music going for the last 40 years. The Ozzfest tours were always awesome.

[@phreffable]

Ozzy told them to listen to ‘Symptom of the Universe’, they did and then based their entire catalogue on it.

[@seanjames5799]

Ozzy made the careers of so many bands possible. It's a no brainer that he's the G.O.A.T. of metal for a reason.

[@lucalone]

$haron made him to that.

[@lonelybro77]

And a woman to stand beside 'im through it all. Love how she took band exposure to another level with Ozzfest

Not the GOAT. But definitely the Godfather.

[@pskully57]

Ozzy gave a lot of bands their first big break, I saw Metallica open for Ozzy with Cliff Burton. It's was a great show. I saw the Motley Crue tour also.

[@pskully57]

So why isn't Metallica taking King Diamond or Mercyful Fate on the road with them?

[@Omar_E11]

@@pskully57 Because those bands aren't young or upcoming and they're older than even Metallica is....

[@bruno_gatti]

Holy moly Lars loves to talk

[@DarkKastle13]

I love hearing Lars talk, he's got interesting stories for days! 😝

[@floridaman2214]

He's the band's historian

[@KZ3fps]

I think Lars loves Metallica more than anyone, and tbh I would too if I were him. Imagine being one of the creators of one of the biggest bands of all time and seeing yourself among your heros as colleagues rather than fans? That's an unimaginable dream to come true for most people.

[@RobHarris1089]

I know, its called a personality...its rare these days...

[@Gcssdvnkloiutesc]

Imagine not talking in an radio broadcasted interview

[@phototristan]

I think Rob Trujillo was actually in Ozzy's band so they should have let him speak.

[@MrFacundo7]

He even played in Ozzy's most recent album, ''Patient Number 9''

[@Zach_Z_97615]

I love Metallica

[@lonelybro77]

But do they love you back, Zach?😉

[@totalswabby4217]

Saw them April 21, 1986 at the Brendan Byrne arena. Incredible show.

[@dyerseve45]

Kudos to ozzy. They were absolutely impossible to follow on that tour but he did anyways.

[@toomuchfandango]

only a real and true band would start breaking into Hole in the sky mid interview!

Imagine in those days had just one person clarified that to Ozzy. The amount of collabs etc we could have had...

[@PostUp_Time]

IMAGINE, HETFIELD MAY NOT HAVE HAD A JOB....IF OZZY WAS TAKEN IN.....IMAGINE....

[@SonOvLaw]

Lars conveniently left out the part where their label paid Ozzy's management $100,000 for that opening tour spot.

[@V.Vaughan]

Get well soon ozzy. METALLICA RULES WITH NEW ALBUM 72 SEASONS!

Saw that tour in Binghamton NY. @ the Veterans War Memorial Arena, It was a bit before Cliff passed. I was lucky to see them with that lineup. One of my lasting memories as a teenager.

[@TheNothing6]

I love the story of Cliff Burton and Ozzy drinking on Metallica's tour bus when Ozzy was told not to drink! 😂

[@lonelybro77]

What's to love about that? Alcohol's a killer!!

[@chupasaurus]

@@lonelybro77 Ozzy clearly didn't get the memos about killing substances.

[@magdump7380]

I saw both the Ozzy/Crue and Ozzy/Metallica tours. Good times.

[@DrunkenGuitarGuy]

no doubt it helped but they were well on their way before that tour, i remember handing around copies of ride the lightning between my friends and we all new they were destined for greatness!

[@TheEman590]

They were on their way, sure, though I feel Ozzy sped up the ride. Larger audiences, more exposure, some features on MTV, next thing you know, they're the cream of the crop in a few short years. Kudos

Ik going through a hole in the skyyyyhyyyy

My 1st time seeing Metallica was Feb 1985 ride the lightning tour with armored Saint and WASP!!!! AND WITH OZZY Master of puppets tour, along with 12 other times throughout the years.

Why does he talk so much

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

Ozzy went from taking out MOtley Vanilli to talking out an all time great metal band Ozzy use to break a lot of bands with their first break

[@espensund2878]

Good observation! And also quite embarassing to watch..😬

Metallica was already huge in 1986. In 1985 they spended 1 million to buy new studio.

Hah was that shot of motley the actors from the dirt and not the band?..

[@DeadlyRamon]

Robert Trujillo should have mentioned that he was in Ozzy's band when he successfully auditioned to fill in Newsted's vacancy in 2003, and that Jason had temporarily joined Ozzy after departing Metallica.

[@Mrsilenciobackgammon]

2:10 - Hole In The Sky

[@adamfindlay7091]

Lars can talk...."Letz go fuckin wild...?!" Great I needed that.

[@mdm5216]

I was there. The Nassau Veterans Memorial coliseum when Metallica opened for OZZY. Good times.

[@thesummit615]

Ozzy gave a ton of bands their big break. Ozzfest was a killer festival. I would always discover new bands on the sampler cds they released each year.

lol they play Sabbath very poorly. James's bends were way out of tune and Kirk's tone was atrocious.

Lars: Starts drumming mid interview James and Kirk: Programmed to start ripping out of thin air

Ozzy was a king maker back then! Def Leppard, Motley, Metallica, Motorhead [not as big but it certainly got them more US exposure!].

[@numlol1]

Why didn't Robert say anything? He played with Ozzy for 6 years or longer.
