[@alecangelo7443]

That is Jason Newsted the bassist before Robert.. Probably the best backing vocalist the band ever had, no disrespect to Robert but the charisma and stage presence Jason had was second to none. Your reactions remind me of myself from years ago lol had the same excitement and faces to match..

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Trujillo has nothing on Newsted as a bassist, songwriter, vocalist, or stage performer.

[@mikkolappalainen9916]

Yeah, Trujillo is a joke comparing to Jason.

[@Superfunkyturbohonky]

Jason was the heart and soul of this band in the 90s. Trujillo is the superior bassist, but damn I miss Jason.

[@TheRealMasonYoung]

Jason Newstead was their bassist at the time and he was epic. He was a great bassist and a tremendous addition to their vocals. Also getting 1.6M people to scream "Die" as a backing vocal performance is absolutely insane. Also this was Biblical, so you are correct on that assumption.

I've always loved James "haha" before the song starts", and other words he says during the song. The "Kirky baby, go" was too funny. 😆

[@AToutProductions]

They wrote Creeping Death after watching The 10 Commandments with Charleton Heston. Even if you are not Christian, it's a great movie and still holds up very well. The song is about the angel of death shown as a creeping mist that is sent to kill the first born child of the pharaoh. You can also watch The Prince of Egypt, it's an animated musical that covers the same story. With an absolutely amazing soundtrack.

[@scottblankenship650]

Well said. That is how I understand what happened as well.

[@shawnzilla72]

Glad some people read or listen to the lyrics.

[@hullbarrett]

_It is you priests and prophets who made these gods ... that you may prey upon the fears of men ... So let it be written. So let it be done_ . - The Pharaoh Ramses II, as portrayed by Yul Brynner in the film The Ten Commandments.

[@jeffrobagman2834]

Not the first born son of the Pharoh. The Angel of Death was sent to kill the first born son of every family in Egypt. The Jews painted a symbol in lamb's blood on their door so the Angel would pass their houses by. It's all there in the lyrics, and the bible.

[@shammerhead666]

It's the story of passover

[@cobrasys]

The song is called "Creeping Death" because that's the name of the 10th plague from Exodus. It's sung from the point of view of the plague itself, as it sweeps through Egypt "killing first-born man", as the lyrics put it.

[@fernandogattuso9681]

Jason Newsted was incredible, when I was a teenager I wanted to be like him, I used the same hair style as him for a long time, his charisma on stage was incredible, as well as his talent as a musician. highly recommend the 89 concert it was amazing

[@room2180]

Cliff Burton is god

[@alexthebeast5014]

Metallica was inspired for the song by the second half of the film The Ten Commandments, which is based on the Bible tale of the Plagues of Egypt. While watching the scene of the final plague killing every Egyptian first-born child, Cliff Burton remarked "Whoa - it's like creeping death", as the plague was represented by a fog rolling into the Pharaoh's palace. The band liked the sound of "creeping death" and decided to write a song about the plagues, with the phrase as its title.

[@TheJerseyNinja]

James’ vocal power especially from like 88-91 was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately it wasn’t the most healthy for him since he wasn’t never trained which is why he blew out his vocal cords after the black album tour and had to get singing lessons and change how he sang to protect his voice after that. His voice has never quite been the same ever since. And now he’s just a lot older so he just doesn’t have the same range anymore even if he wanted to. But man what I’d give to hear him signing like that live again just one more time

[@Nichwar19]

They were a fcking menace back then. Out of this world energy.

[@MiscRocketVideos]

Robert is a great bassist, but it is a shame that modern reactors don't know Jason Newsted by name. It is history and the band has morphed a few times, but that show and that playlist with that lineup is legendary.

[@davidareeves]

I was lucky to have started with Ciff, Jason was good as well. Yet I always imagine what masterpieces like this one would have been created if he hadn't gone to jam in a higher realm.

0:55 I am in love with your reaction to James`s devilish little laughter! I have seen endless amount of reactors watch this performance,but you just complete melt me away with your reaction! 6:46 Thats why they nicknamed him Kirk The Ripper Hammet,i have even seen him play the guitar with his booty cheeks 12:22 Thats Jason Newsted,my absolute favourite in Metallica (no disrespect to Robert The Beast Trujillo),Jason was always the nicest most genuine guy in Metallica,who turned into his intimidating,powerful alter ego up on stage,with wild aggressive eyes and facial expressions,and some impressive windmills. Driven by pure passion! Came in as one of Metallicas own fans and always interacted the absolute most with them from the stage,as you can see in this performance at one point,he looks down on some of them and instantly turns into the biggest smile you have ever seen on a Metal dude. Jason is outstanding!

[@jasonwilliamson8416]

Jason stepped in and carried the band for a couple of decades. And he's a solid human being. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and he's just a good dude.

[@keithwessel3531]

😂 Jason “carried” Metallica for a couple Decades?? I’m sorry, I hate saying stuff over the computer, but, WHAT?!! Are you high? Metallica was established by that time, they could have brought in literally ANY BASSIST ON THE PLANET & wouldn’t have missed a beat. Jason was good. But your comment? Just plain untrue. Sorry bro but ANY bassist would have fit in the exact same.

[@Scanner_51]

He wasn't in the band for decades. Rob had been in the band for 2 decades now.

[@keithwessel3531]

@@Scanner_51 There you go, I didn’t even think of that. Rob has been in longer. He was a good bassist period. Nothing special, he was never, would never “carry” Metallica. That’s very funny to me. Them & GNR’s were the 2 top bands in the world. They could have switched out Jason at Any time & nobody would know the difference. Fact!!! I mean did Metallica pack up after Jason left? No, they kept playing kick ass albums. Selling out stadiums. Same w/Guns. Axl, Slash & duff you can’t replace. Everyone else? Doesn’t hurt them at all. Metallica, James, Lars & Kurt are not replaceable. Anyone else is. Just facts. That list Cliff(which I remember the day he died) they went on. Got Jason, after he left, they went on. Now Rob they go on. As long as the core 3 are there, doesn’t matter. I can play 2 live versions 1 w/Jason & 1 w/Rob. Same song & I guarantee you can’t pick out who’s who. I mean it’s a 50/50 chance so you may get lucky. But you won’t hear a difference bro. Trust me.

[@xCaLLMeGHeTTo]

@@Scanner_51 I don't think they meant literal decades like 20+ years. More like his tenure spanned 3 different decades. 80's, 90's, and early 2000's when he bowed out in 2001.

Granted there are tons and tons of great phenomenal guitarists out there, and in this early 90s era of Metallica you could barely discern any noticeable difference in Kirk's solos and riffs either live or from the album version, this song included

[@sheldonnicholl3599]

Metallica has been blessed with talent and success. They have had 3 amazing bass players (Cliff Burton, Jason Newstead, Robert Trujillo) over the years who have left their marks. Jason inspired me to take up the bass back in the early 90s. I loved your reaction and your respect for the talent and skill involved when bands like Metallica do what they do! Metallica has been my favorite band for over 30 years. That said, check out Pantera's performance from this same concert. Specifically, the songs "Cowboys from Hell" and "Domination" are great!

This song was inspired by the movie The 10 Commandments starring Charlton Heston. "So Let It Be Written, So Let It Be Done" is a phrase repeated several times during that movie.

The song is the story of Pass-over from the Bible. James grew up in a very religious family so there are several Metallica songs that are religious in nature.

12:20 I love Jason's energy when he sings. The song is written from the plague's point of view, but when Jason sings here, it's as if you are hearing the plague itself singing. Jason was fantastic.

To caphowdy's comment below, the subject matter of the song is taken directly from the old Charleton Heston 'The Ten Commandments' movie, about the angel of death passing over Egypt, hence the lyric "I'm sent here by the chosen One, to kill the firstborn Pharaoh's son.. I'm creeping death."

At that point Metallica (atleast Lars and James) had been a band for almost ten years. They were THE metal band and had been for quite a while even though they had only gotten actual radio play for the previous two years, since they made the video for "One" and then released the black album (enter sandman). Prior to that they didn't get radio play because most of their songs were 8+ minutes long, and they wouldn't shorten them. They were making a living playing live as the biggest band with no radio play so their live game was top notch. In middle school we had to order their shirts out of the back of magazines (4-6 weeks shipping), and hand drew their logo and album covers on the back of jean jackets. I was in high school back when this concert happened and they were on top of the world because they finally had that cross over success bringing in the big bucks.
