You mentioned this is "the most aggressive sound you've heard from Metallica." This is PRIME Metallica! Them at their absolute best. They were untouchable in the metal genre and were one of the biggest bands in the world, regardless of genre. This is why their fan base is so passionate about their younger years. The absolute pinnacle of Thrash Metal

[@neogeoha1464]

Truth. I've seen them 9 times since 86, and the 2 Justice shows, and 2 Black shows I saw were simply awesome concerts. In the literal sense of the word "awesome." I feel bad my daughter who loves Metallica, will never get to see them the way I did. No videos or explanations can replicate the energy io those arenas in 88-92. Jason's contribution to the live shows can't be oversold, and is missed to this day. "DIE!, DIE!, DIE!"

The pinnacle of thrash goes to 84-91 era Slayer. They had the craziest fans. Pinnacle heavy metal goes to 84-91 era Metallica. They had the most passionate fans.

The dog barking is Jason Newsted. He brought it every single live performance. His voice is so dark and powerful in its aggression. If you want to hear more from him with Metallica react to them doing Seek and Destroy with him. Jason will sing the whole song instead of just singing a bit or doing backing vocals for James. Also: check out any song from the Seattle ‘89 concert. They were on it for the entire concert. Check out Welcome Home Sanitarium from that venue.

Nobody stalked the stage like James Hetfield in his prime. Dressed in black, hunched over with legs wide apart. He was intimidating and commanded the crowd like Caesar. This is prime Metallica. They were ferocious and delivered with bad intentions. This is how the great metal bands were in their prime. To play right on the edge and keep it there. This is what makes the greatest metal truly great. Hetfield's rhythm playing was ferocious too. It takes phenomenal stamina to downpick everything like this with such aggression and precision. Amazing!

According to drummer Lars Ulrich, he and frontman James Hetfield watched the movie "The Ten Commandments" at Burton's parents' house. "There's a scene where Moses goes back to try and get his people out of Egypt, and when the Pharaoh reneges on that, the firstborn must die," he told Metal Hammer. "Then this fog appears out of the moon and comes down and starts creeping across the ground, smoke machine-style, and everybody who's caught in it falls over and dies on the spot. That's where the words 'Creeping Death' come from."

I can't tell you what it was like to hear them play this song at this show in 1991 but I just saw them again Aug 18th 2023 and they opened their 2 night show with this song. You asked what it's like to be in a massive crowd screaming "Die, die, die"? It's absolutely electrifying!!! I was screaming it right along with the other 100,000 people at the show. That primal energy plus the fact that you can feel the music vibrating in your chest is an experience you never forget. Incidentally, that show broke Taylor Swift's record of the largest crowd at ATT Stadium in Arlington Tx or as I will always thing of it, the new Texas Stadium. Please check out some of their instrumentals like Orion which is like traveling through the constellation for me with a killer bass solo from original bassist Cliff Burton, The Call of Ktulu which is the last song with any input from Dave Mustaine (who played lead guitar before the band got really famous. Kirk took his place) and was inspired by HP Lovecraft's famous story, the Call of Cthulhu, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) which feats. a bass solo by Cliff Burton and To Live is to Die which is a tribute to Cliff . At the end, barely audible, James says the following words that Cliff would often say: "When a man lies he murders some part of the world These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives All this I cannot bear to witness any longer Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home." All very different songs but absolutely epic!! 🤘Rock On!🤘 Kelly

And being paired with one of the most underrated and probably one of the top lead guitarists, at least in Metal. Kirk is fire. It has made Metallica one of the best bands of all time.

I don’t know how I stumbled across your channel, but I am glad I did; except for the fact that I can’t stop watching! I fell in love with Metallica’s music when I was around 12-13. Initially, I imagine the primal nature of early Metallica helped channel all of the excess testosterone of a teenage boy. Then as I joined the high school band, I started to appreciate the true genius of the music itself and my passion for it grew. It is so incredible to watch somebody fall in love with their music almost instantly. I must say that I am a little jealous watching you experience Metallica for the first time. You are so expressive, and it really shows just how deeply this music touches you. What is amazing is that you appreciate it from an entirely different perspective as evidenced in the Creeping Death video. You mentioned how unnerving it was for you as a non-aggressive person to hear tens of thousands of people chanting “DIE” like that. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple of times and that part of Creeping Death doesn’t really convey a sense of hostility. It goes back to that primal sense of aggression and feeding off the energy of the band while they are feeding off your energy - it is an incredible symbiosis of developing a bond. I seem to recall you mentioning in another video that you are a new mom - I wonder if the energy of Metallica is tapping into your primal maternal instincts. Thank you for making these videos!

I'm pretty sure the "barking" you hear there is Jason Newstead, their bassist at the time. Not only does he have the growls, he also is a pretty decent singer and harmonizes with James on some songs. Rob is a great bass player, but I miss Jason for his backing vocals. If you want to hear more of that, I recommend "Bleeding Me" (S&M). Yes, I've recommended this before and I'm pushing it again lol. For the record, James did use auto-tune on S&M. It was supposed to be a big major production thing and they wanted it to be as perfect as possible. Yeah, he has some imperfections here and there, but I think he sounds damn good without it. So he used it, but it wasn't really necessary.
