Metallica - Ecstacy of Gold (Live Premiere, July 28, 2009)

[@DaSeppii]

R.I.P Ennio Morricone, you're a true legend.

[@evavalentin9473]

BLYATMAN LADA 💔🙌🏻

[@alrox1]

Agreed! He collaborated with Pet Shop Boys, let Metallica cover his work--legend! RIP.

Metallica is just honoring the master with this, stop all the criticism. For a band at this level to cover someone's work is ultimate respect

[@luckyvet]

+Giggidygiggidy12 100% Correct.

I wonder what 'The Master' make of it. Gets a bit of royalty money though I guess!

The greatness of a person is when they celebrated you already alive. Rest in peace Ennio.

[@TheLovedrug13]

THIS!!! ^^^^ Ennio was THE MAN! Rest in power great Maestro!

[@lavo-ld4wm]

You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend... those who can do an amazing Ennio Morricone version and those who listen to them... we listen to them !

[@nick_steele9790]

Lol love the quote ;)

[@oshizone]

You know how much Ennio is loved when someone as big as Metallica does a cover.. EPIC. Today EM passed away to become one with the divine Rhythm..! Om Shanti 🙏

[@paulbutler8037]

Sad day indeed, I got a fair bit of Ennio on my iPod,play it at the gym....gets my heart pumping, no one ever says STOP.

[@cristophersanchez_gaming617]

Wow fuck

[@normansmithers7631]

patricia janeckova does a great version of this song; maybe she should join forces with metallica; check her version out on you tube.

[@lo7058]

Ennio Morricone recently passed away, so that makes this video much more emotional to me. They should play this again as a tribute to him.

[@nichderjeniche]

I think they played it on some concerts as intro music

[@nichderjeniche]

@Krystal Alpha McCloud still?

[@whooziss]

How can anyone criticize this? This is a giant of one form of music paying a huge tribute to a genius of another, completely different form of music. No, it doesn't literally compare to Morricone's original, but it isn't meant to. It is Metallica and Morricone meeting half in between, and is wonderful.

[@NoName-to5xl]

CAUSE THEY PLAYED IT SLOPPY AND BUTCHERED IT. they where great when young and hungry. now just lazy gifting multi millionaires. maestro ennio may had made some money too, i hope, but every concert till 80s was top quality and he kept on evolving and improving his music. these guys are circus performers that let go in the early 90s.

[@71obbor]

Ignorance. 🥲

[@w.m.aslam-author]

Metallica and Morricone. What a combination!

Metorricone or Morriconica or Metallicone ( Itallian pronounciation in the last option)

[@cyberingcatgirls7069]

They are showing their respect and appreciation of a master composer. It's not a competition, it's honor.

[@z0mby]

how can no one appreciate this? even if u don't like the band u still need to recognize they're playing it because they love the song. this is fuckin great if anything

[@nemanjarankovic7648]

rip z0mby lol

[@cletusvandamme2331]

3:30 James is a very talented lead guitar. It's amazing. He executed beautifuly these solos.

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

He is way better than kirk... he just doesnt show it

[@bartobo]

Great cover. When a top band does a cover of another master musician you know it's a work of love and honor.

[@joseluisaltamiraalavez9844]

wooowwwww

[@RUSHNBOBO]

RIP Tuco (Eli Wallach)

[@cazador1022]

RUSHNBOBO we have to be a certain age to know who he was....LOL

I was only born in this century and I know who is Tuco

Oh , shut the fuck up .

[@stevemcdaniel3912]

What a fantastic tribute to the absolute best film composer ever. Not many bands have the talent to do this song justice, but these dudes just flat kill it.

[@XRePete]

Nice. Metallica paying their respects to the boss. His music will live forever and not doubt be covered by many bands of future generations.

[@coralbevilacqua]

Hey XRePete! We've also recorded an incredible version of Ecstasy of gold: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPWZ6doo8qagsU

[@miguelangelg.c.4423]

Excellent tribute to the master Ennio.

[@mmka5434]

Undoubtedly, James Hetfield is one of the most fantastic icons in rock and metal history. What a great deal of spirit in his solo there is. Outstanding performance .

[@myronersteniuk5805]

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies. Kudos to Metallica for remembering Tuco running around Sad Hill Cemetery 👏 Eli Wallach is smiling down on this.

[@YTSPoster]

is that james on a wah peddal... my life is complete...

[@jason.taylor]

Oh my god, James uses wah pedal. Amazing...

[@SimpleQuartz1]

Just what I was gonna say

[@mattdurbidge6264]

..and schooled kirk on how to use ur properly

[@RyanSmith-si4ck]

not so much ;)

[@thefifthhorsemen3393]

Matt Durbidge yeah not so much, I love James but umm no Kirk is a lot better than James with the Wah, when you use it in almost every song in the past 30 years, you tend to be better than someone who used it once in the past 30 years. let's get real

[@metallica8916]

RIP Ennio Morricone DIOS LO TENGA EN SU GLORIA

[@gbbox2957]

this song is good in any genre

[@ApocalypsesisXBL]

I love it when James does his Solos, its so perfect in every way. I could easily say he's probably the best Guitarist ever and he knows it. He solos when he wants and when he does its perfect. Rarely does solo cause, the greats don't show off :D

[@jeppyjep]

I know im 8 years late but Marty Friedman, Chuck Schuldiner, James Murphy, Gary Holt, Chris Poland, Dave Mustaine, Alex Skolnick, Kiko Loureiro and many other guitarist are better than him in lead playing. He's still an awesome guitar player

[@josetxo8367]

Ennio Forever!!!!!!!!

[@perseopenelope]

A Masterpiece of all times, no Metallica even Ennio Morricone composed for a supreme scene of cinema of all times of the times, The Ectasy of Gold, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Excelllent cover.

[@antares727]

You have to love this, the guitars (and only two at that) are doing the singing and the work most covers require a full symphony to get the sound Metallica produces -- the sound causes chills to go up me back each time I listen to this... just absolutely fantastic !!

[@yallowrosa]

Morricone, Leone, Eastwood, Wallach & Van Cleef ... said: It's OK!

[@outlawtorn344]

Sends tingles down my spine 21 years later from the first day I heard these gods and I only love them more Metallica till I die baby!!

[@SRVMETAL]

Was a great concert. I was screaming my lungs out when I realised they were playing this song.

[@adrianroldan6093]

pretty darn cool. great cover, masterful original work of art from ennio morricone and outstanding cover from metallica

[@godthisisannoying]

This has to be the oldest and most enduring cover by Metallica in existence, and it became a staple of the band's live performances.

[@rabbitseason4241]

Class act thing of Metallica to honor to honor one of the best compsosers of all time!

[@mattdurbidge6264]

I hope that everyone realises that metallica have been using this as their intro music for years now and they're just having some fun covering this for the Danish fans

[@justification1979]

While I still prefer the original version more, as far as covers go this is bad ass and it works great with their play style.

[@Dcs-Brasil]

Descanse em paz grande Maestro. Sua obra jamais será esquecida. Metallica homenageando em vida. Obrigado.
