Love this song because of how aggressive Jason’s vocals are in any era

[@nikkireviews]

Right?? So good!

[@josealejandroalvaradobotei8584]

​@@nikkireviews❤❤😅 very good metálica video 😅 and Mery new year2024❤❤😎✌ i from chile😎🎉

Peak Metallica,Jason’s vocals and stage presence were fantastic!….anything from this Seattle gig is gold.

[@sonofthesea3298]

I always love theese 80s-early 90s concert videos of Metallica. One of the reasons being Jason,the nicest and most genuine of the bunch. I think THE one guy that turns the most into this alter ego up on that stage,with intense eyes and facial expressions,one of the first i noticed do the windmill to such great extent as he did. He shaved the lower part of his head,to make the hair flip around easier too,wich always gave him such a badass look. I still miss him today,eventhough i Love Robert "The Beast" Trujillo alot too,Jason was just all out passion up on that stage,he was one of the Metallica fans that became a part of the band,and he never forgot it,he always connected the most and best with the fans from the stage or offstage. And his vocals were just gritty,powerful and intimidating. He brought soo much extra on bass to Metallica. I think my one favourite concert with Metallica is anything involving San Diego in 1992,but especially Wherever I May Roam from that same concert. My number 1 song with them,because of the strong Oriental vibes that Kirk Hammet brings in the very beginning,accompanied by Lars on the drums. I dont think i have heard any Heavy Metal band make me think of a specific culture,from just guitar and drum play. Makes me want to just close my eyes and take it all in,in that intro of the song. Absolutely beautiful! Rob has gotten better at his backing vocals,he seems to have the power in his voice,but i notice that he is very "on and off" the actual mic,and one of the things that many vocalists train alot on,is where to stand in front of the mic. So i think his "weakness" is that he is not technically great in front of the mic lol. He has improved abit since he first joined though!

[@naruto9121983]

the die die die part is always so good. i believe they can still shouting die if james left them continue🤘

[@nikkireviews]

Oh yeah I'm sure. I know it varies from place to place. The crowd will go on as long as James wants them to 😂🤘

[@rubaidaallen2764]

I heard this masterpiece live a few days ago. There’s nothing like Creeping Death live. Nothing 🤘🔥

[@nikkireviews]

That's so cool you got to see it live. 😁It really is amazing - and you're right, nothing like it! 🤘

[@a.g.4843]

Chemical warfare from slayer is quite nice too.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

Kirk's take on the solo here was the best he ever played it. Even two years later in Moscow, he was skipping the transition at the end with a slide up the neck instead.

[@nikkireviews]

Hm I'll have to go back and watch that one again to compare 🤔

[@vashtalelq]

Kirk doing the solo so well at this tempo is insane

[@cotx79]

One of my favorite versions of this song too! It seems over seas concerts are so much more intense sometimes!

[@nikkireviews]

Yeah, my husband and I noticed that too. Sometimes the crowds we're in at their shows aren't the best energy-wise but then you see recordings like this when everyone is just SO into it!

[@aliniliescu7871]

Jason was the heart and the soul of the live performances. This live concert is insane, it was the first one of Metallica I ever seen.

[@nikkireviews]

I gotta watch more from it..but yeah, Jason was awesome. Always so much energy and intensity!

[@alvasquez2931]

That was freaking awesome, to get the crowd to do the backup vocals, so cool.

[@nikkireviews]

So awesome!

[@JeremyMiller-sn6nh]

Late 80s early 90s Metallica were untouchable Gods! \m/ ❤️‍🔥💀❤️‍🔥 \m/

[@nikkireviews]

So good!

[@jadsonramos2712]

Jason presença de palco e voz puro rock metal.

[@pazwretzky4673]

I had Creeping Death on cassette, I feel so old 😅, I think they were touring their And Justice For All album at this time, my favorite album from them, another good song from the same show, is a cover they performed called Breadfan

[@Artimesia]

They closed that show with Breadfan, but they opened it with Blackened, such a killer song 🤘

[@motorbreathjz]

no one ever reacts to the unpopular stuff.. i used to get shit faced listening to this concert and breadfan always got me jacked up

[@red_bayonet]

I'm a huge Cliff Burton Metallica fan. Their second and third albums (Ride the lighting and Master of Puppets) are Metallica's best albums with the Master of Puppets being the greatest metal album of all time.

[@rodjames5771]

This was awesome - thank you. I am a huge Metallica fan and just found your channel and what you are doing is awesome! It's not the same without Jason, but your right even today Kirk is playing better and better

[@LeeB41]

I was at both of these Seattle shows. August 29 and 30 1989. Most intense and crazy shows I have ever been to. I remember there was a huge sign outside of the venue saying that both shows were going to be filmed. Metallica at the top of their game.

[@nikkireviews]

Oh wow, that's awesome! 🤘

[@dead_inside674]

I was 18 and seen this entire show live in Springfield Illinois in July of 1989. It was f'ing AWEWSOMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@nanns77]

Amazing song from an amazing album. James born in 1963. This concert is legendary. Metallica has many fans yes, Nikki. The amount of haters is proportional to their greatness.

[@Schlipsmut]

Seatlle 89 - Metallica in their prime!

[@nikkireviews]

So good 😁

[@shaneoliva7342]

I was at this concert. This brings back memories.

[@nikkireviews]

😮 That's so awesome that you were there!

[@K1ng1995]

My uncle was at this concert to. He used to work at the Roller Rink Queensryche used to play at back in the early 80's

[@Froggeth81]

Completely agree on Jason, his energy and backing vocals I think are unmatched. I like Rob and he's put his time into the band, and I think his backing has slightly improved (I saw a video of their first live performance of 72 Seasons and you can hear Rob more during the chorus). But yeah definitely miss that from Jason!

[@sumonjamal1653]

I believe this was on the 1989 tour for 'And justice for all'... The members of Metallica were in their 20's when this performance was filmed. This was the era when Metallica was truly untouchable in concert... In later years (1996 and onwards...), Metallica seemed to lose their ferocity in concert... That is why these live versions are the best for 'Creeping death'... it was written and released in 1984 for Metallica's 2nd album 'Ride the Lightning' when bassist Cliff Burton was alive... Jason Newsted (bass) joined in 1986 and quit in 2001. Robert Trujillo is a great bass player (listen to his records w/ Suicidal Tendencies... Ozzy Osbourne... Jerry Cantrell...) but he's not used by Metallica to his talent because of their sound... Newsted was much better for Metallica because his style and energy were perfect for their music, but his talent was not used to potential either...

[@somerandomguy32]

I was at this concert..for my first concert...

[@nikkireviews]

😮 How awesome.. did you enjoy it??

[@alcyonna]

Best concert ever.

[@christinaharrison5692]

This is my favorite live Metallica song…because of Jason!

[@red_bayonet]

Metallica's concert in Seattle in 89 was their best one. No crappy songs, James vocals were at their peak. He was 25 - 26.

[@nikkireviews]

Ohh okay. I figured he had to be somewhere around there!

[@philippevanvoorthuizen252]

I think 83-87 was so underrated as well was much higher voice from james and his distortion was at the extremest

[@muriloninja]

They were between 25-26yrs old at the time. James and Jason were 26yrs old.

[@nikkireviews]

Ahh okay, I figured somewhere around there!

[@gianwinters]

Theyre about 26 yo here in 1989. Lars annd James started Metallica when they were 18 yo, 1989 version was more sophisticated but the raw Metallica versions go back to 1985-86 with Cliff. Its a very primal James Hetfield

[@kullerwo]

I think Kirk was 27 and others were 26 yo. But let's not split the hairs...

[@gianwinters]

@@kullerwo thats general knowledge

[@scottsixkiller5816]

I caught them on this tour......TWICE!!! In 88 they ripped my 16 year old face off

[@TrojanRabbit521]

Still the song I want most at a Metallica concert. Seen every tour starting with Master of Tours. Leaving this show I felt like I’d been in a fight & car crash. The mosh pit was wild!

[@koripartovi6132]

That’s Seattle in ‘89 on the “…And Justice For All” tour. Moscow was in ‘91 and was outdoors. Purportedly 1.3 million fans. Or 1.6 million. Account vary. But yeah, wrong video.

[@jimdukeproject]

89 would make about in their mid 20s. Song from their prime years.

[@mztweety1374]

Jason definitely has a face for metal…and the neck of a marine with more than a few questionable kills😂😂😂. We love him to pieces, tho…

[@JoeFolgers]

He's the best 🤘

[@tomperic5450]

Seattle '89 concert is a classic! Thank you so much for this review Nikki. But can you please, PLEASE do a reaction to For Whom The Bells Toll live 1984 with Cliff Burton from Cliff 'Em All? Thank you!

[@scwebb]

If you’ve been to a recent show, maybe pick one of the live videos from the current tour and compare it to your experience. As for Rob, he’s never been a vocalist like Jason was. He’s a bit more like Kirk where he provides some backing texture at times, maybe taking on a bit more on the current tour, but Jason would outright sing lead from time to time.

[@canojc1]

This video was in their box set i drank many beers to that box set

[@DavinTilley]

Yes

[@KrunoslavStifter]

Too bad no one reacts to the Creeping Death version from 1997 awesome concert "cunning stunts", Fort Worth, Texas. The whole concert was one of their best, because they were just mature enough to be technically perfect, and young enough to perform at their best. Here is the song for the interested ones, although if you want to make a reaction video for this version, I would no mind it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF7Vo62arsp3eZI Cheers!

[@nikkireviews]

I will add it to the list! Thanks for the link! ☺️

[@KrunoslavStifter]

@@nikkireviewsGreat. thanks.

Love your reaction vids keep it going, I suggest “Fade to black” live 1991 Moscow and “unforgiven” live 1992 next

[@pedroloureiro8976]

Am I blood- Supremacy of Failure Am I blood-The one who Forgives Daylight Dies-Lies that Blind Some songs options that would be amazing to see someone react

[@nikkireviews]

I will add them to my list! Thank you!

[@alvasquez2931]

My favorite band, and Jason is back. Then Linkin Park, then The Warning.

[@nikkireviews]

I like that selection 😁

[@alvasquez2931]

@nikkireviews Thank you. Although there are many bands and songs, only these 3 move my spirit, and for the last 20 it was only those 2. Freaking wild, so glad I stumbled upon The Warning.

[@samjomian3127]

This Metallica was different!

[@edum5674]

Jason was amazing!!!

[@inyourbunnyhole6652]

Metallica at the age of 27 for almost all of them, arguably the best live performance of their career.

Metallica RULES and Nikki is absolutely beautiful 😘❤️🔥🥰🤩😛😍🤗

[@nikkireviews]

Aw thank you ☺️ and yes, they do! 🤘

[@80HD8]

It was hard to hear both of them clearly. I think the Moscow one has more clear vocals. I haven't seen them live, so I don't know what they sound like personally. With a video, it could be the sound system, it could be the engineer, it could be a bad recording. Their albums sound fine, so it's not like they purposely mix the vocals at a lower volume, so I'm not really sure what the issues are with the live shows. Anyway, great reaction. It's always nice to meet someone who likes metal. And I'm jealous you've seen them live and I haven't. In case you're not aware three suggestions of heavy rock/metal bands lead by female singers: Halestorm, In This Moment and The Pretty Reckless.

[@yesorlando05]

The guys in Metallica are around my age, so in 1989 they would've been in their mid 20's.

[@Bfair123]

They are young and good looking at this time, specially Kirk.

[@windog551]

This song and seek and Destroy are great stage songs. 4 horsemen is great too.

[@Jdwdogg]

They chant die everytime they play it live but this one is crazy

[@nikkireviews]

Yeah, I love that part!!

[@t-bagbagwell1327]

Proudly I lost my voice when the Die part came up. I made sure to relive what I have missed for long years, it was the best experience ever to see them for the first time.

[@ysinvangulik1004]

The good old days, when Kirk could still remember his solo's !!

[@nikkireviews]

😂 Funny you say that, when we saw them last week he had to restart one of the intros to a song. 😜

[@WulfPriest]

Happy Passover

[@meecob]

James was 26. Before they went more commercial with the Black album in 91'

[@markgallagher8129]

Jason's vocals?

[@blackened7420]

This is great. This whole concert was. My only gripe with t hi s is there’re playing a little to fast. The Moscow version is the best live performance of this song. Even Jason sounds better.

[@camilleanderson450]

The song is actually biblical and references the story of the blood above the door death shall pass (Book of Exodus) I think.

[@alexeilindes7507]

This is the last moments of cool metallica

[@johnflavin1040]

Great live version, but the Moscow concert might be the best

[@UncleUncleRj]

Metallica took their "special vitamins" before playing this show.

[@nikkireviews]

😂

PLease listen to the song Whiplash at the same concert, Jason has a great part in it!

[@nikkireviews]

I'll add it to my list! 😁 Thank you

[@dustybottomstx3040]

Its based off part of the bible where the angel of death goes to each house and kills the first born son. "die die die" is that part

I love Rob but I really miss Jaysun! 🤘

[@LexyThomas134]

Just found your channel, have you ever listened to the young family band LILIAC? They do covers and originals and are really great. Their Enter Sandman, Crazy Train and Holy Diver covers are by far the best I've ever heard. Maybe check them out one day when you get a chance, thanks 🤘

[@amysson5151]

Based on the Bible when God sent the 10 plagues and wiped out Pharaoh’s son. Technically, this is a Christian metal song. I’m proud of you, Metallica! They should get into the Bible more, so many true stories worth turning into songs. The Christian music scene is full of them. Thank God! God really did give Rock and Roll to you, after all.

[@juliocesarlagonesmelgar6320]

[@marcdewey1242]

Evil? Does anyone here even realize what the song Creeping Death is about?in the book of Exodus,God sent death to Egypt to kill all the first born after Pharoah refused to release the Israelites,but,if lambs blood was painted above the door of a person's house,death would pass,and everyone inside would be spared,but the Egyptians didnt believe in the God of Israel and failed to use lambs blood,instead relyed on thier pagan Gods which did no good,but anyway,Metallica got the inspiration for the song,while watching the Ten Commandments movie,after Cliff said,wow that looks like Creeping Death! So that's what its about.
