In my family the general opinion is that the other members were doing a crappy job of handling their feelings of the loss of Cliff, and were like a kid that illogically feels bitterness against a stepparent because they associate the absence of their deceased parent with the presence of the new one. So they picked him apart, spitefully made his bass tracks near silent on an album, and generally treated him like crap. He deserved so much better.

Co2 being released killed the first born since they slept on the lowest level. It can all be explained because a super volcano erupting. Though it was 500 years before the Egyptian Muslims will admit. James Camron did a great documentary about it. Though they lied to the Egyptians on what they were covering and was expelled. Very similar outcomes have happened in modern history that explains the plagues. When co2 was released it changes the water red from iron and killed all life deprived of o2. Fire and ice from the sky by product of a eruption. Etc.

This is right after the fall of the Soviet Union and they had never heard or seen anything like this. American music or Western music was forbidden behind the Iron Curtain. So this isn't just a concert. This was a celebration of the fall of the tyranny of the Soviets and the opening up of their culture to ours. This was absolutely epic. These people were starving for freedom and modernity. This was literally blowing the minds of millions of people that were there. Basically this was an earth altering event.

They had some of the western music and culture in the USSR. It wasn't all forbidden. Jazz music was allowed. And also in 70es and 80es thay had a lot of contact with western music and culture but in indirect way trough Yugoslavia and Yugoslavian pop and rock musician who was deep influenced by American, English and other western music and culture. So some of YU rock bands was making tours in the USSR. Of course everyting was strictly controled. And of course in USSR they had black market of western music record in the 80es. Yes that was crumbs but they had someting it wasn't totaly out of the rest of the world. In mid 80es 2 or 3 most famous YU rock bands had a concert at Gorky park in Moscow. Free admition. A lot of people, 50-100 000 at least. In one moment the main security guy decided that security risk is too high because of so many people at the place and they stop the concert by just shut all the power down from the main power switch. :D :D Sent all musicians to backstage. By the story of one of the musicians he got back to the stage just 5 minutes later to get someting he forgot and all park was totaly empty. Nobody of tens of thousand people was there in just 5 minutes. :D

Western music wasn't forbidden in the USSR, it may have not been as readily available and you'd often have to get it from outside the country but there was nothing forbidding anyone from having it. I used to trade tapes with a guy in Poland(there was some pretty good Polish hardcore back then) and a guy in Russia back in the early 80's and they'd often send me money to buy albums to send back to them. I actually sent Kill 'em All and Show No mercy to the guy in Russia(RIP Andre) for his birthday not long after they came out.

He alternate picks or uses his fingers to pluck the strings (index finger & thumb) without using a pick. He doesn't get enough credit for being a great rhythm guitarist.

[@m.f.culler9012]

I learned to play by watching him, so I only alternate pick on the really really fast tempo’s it’s actually uncomfortable to alternate pick for me because of that

[@Owlyross]

Not only, on this song yes, but on really fast songs like Damage Inc, One and Four Hornsemen, he's alternate picking.

Had to comment on this one you know as it's where i got my name from loving the Metallica reactions guys much love

[@jasonschuler6829]

Please listen to Metallica "Eye of the beholder" I guarantee you will like the lyrics!

The other guy singing is Jason Newsted, he was the bass player after Cliff Burton died and left the band a while back. He has his own band called Newsted that have some good songs. You should check out King of the Underdogs by Newsted. Good tune.

[@dontreadonme5331]

I suggest the same. Brad might really dig that one. If you like that lyrically, I recommend my friend's kid's band Villain of the Story, Break the Chains

[@soakedbearrd]

Underrated song IMO

[@martinchappell8205]

He stands like that so he is stable and it does something for the way he sings it helps him get what he wants for his style of singing

Metallica really isn’t “second generation” per say. They advanced metal by playing faster…introducing the world to speed metal or more commonly known as thrash metal. I highly recommend a documentary called Metal: A Headbangers Journey. It’s a cool history lesson on metal, it’s roots from classical music, and breaks down the different types of metal that exist.

[@NeonNights80]

I would say bands like led Zeppelin Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are first generation. I would say second generation metal bands would be like Judas Priest ,Rush Thin Lizzy, Motorhead a little later on Van Halen. Anything coming out in the '80s would be 3rd generation.

In Russia you don't hear Metallica, Metallica hears you...

[@Trendkiller196]

The kids at this show had never seen anything like this

[@Sweet.Mother.of.Cheesus]

mid/late 80' to the early 90's were absolutely insane years for metalheads lime myself! some of the greatest bands/live acts and some of the most iconic metal records! and yes, the world as we knew it back then changed fundamentally and the feeling was indescribable

[@chrisrichardson5641]

Still want a “Stone Cold Crazy” reaction! It’s like Freddie Mercury wrote that song for Metallica in 1974!

[@tallycahamuhlhetru26]

It's not that good.

[@chrisrichardson5641]

@@tallycahamuhlhetru26 are you more of the Metallica Jam Band fan or Metallica metal fan? If you like their Jam Band stuff, then I can see where you are coming from.

[@tallycahamuhlhetru26]

@@chrisrichardson5641 I'm 100% Metallica Thrash/Heavy Metal. I've never really cared for the song, no matter who it was written by or who was performing it-- Queen or Metallica... It's just "meh" to me. My personal opinion.

[@hornaceka]

The reactions to all of the Metallica songs and especially the live concerts. I REALLY making me feel OLD!!!! LOL!!! 80s/90s Kid Here Bro!

[@stephanieclark9849]

I blame Metallica for every slipped disc I now have in my neck... and yet if I had to go back, I'd do it all over again! \m/

[@michellec8450]

I blame my partial hearing loss 😂

[@patrickbuckley344]

Lex's SMILE is infectious, the Inner Rocker is coming out again☺

[@rp3569]

It should be a crime to pause a Metallica song no matter what

[@davidhass5602]

Parkway Drive - The Void (live from Wacken). It’s an awesome video showing the fun of a metal concert.
