The Soviet Union collapsed in December 26, 1991 Metallica played there September of 1991, in the final days of the Soviet Union. The American rock band Metallica gave a concert in a country that would soon cease to exist. The show was part of the 'Monsters of Rock' festival, which also brought together groups such as AC/DC and Pantera.

American Metal ( and Australian, I see you AC-DC ) was the sound off to the final end of the Iron Curtain

The choppers were for security purposes, but also to help circulate air so the people in the center core of the venue didnt pass out. Legend has it that Moscow registered a .03 on the Richter Scale during this concert. Probably a mix of music and 1 million headbangers jumping around. Basically us humans created an earthquake (or at least a tremor).

[@jpotter2086]

AS .03 on the Richter scale is quite faint, I suggest updating the legend to claim a 2 at least. DOn't undersell the boys! Of course it would also matter from where measured.

Another thing that’s really amazing is that there are quite a few soldiers… there as crowd control… that have stripped off their uniforms and are rocking out with the crowd. Absolutely ASTONISHING show. Everything about it is breathtaking. It’s crazy how Hetfield (singer) is just standing up there like he owns the whole world. Not one outward sign of nervousness, not one quiver in his voice, nothin. Super calm and confident. And he’s only 28 years old at the time. Insane. Absolutely insane. I can only imagine what it must’ve been like for those people to see American rockstars in the flesh for the first time. They sure as hell earned it. Wow. I’ve been listening to Metallica since the early 80’s… since back when they were still considered a “local band”… lmao… and I get chills every time I see this video. Truly awe inspiring.

[@kimberlycharlton1284]

maybe you can an answer a question for me. Did many of the fans speak English? Did they understand the words at all, or just responded to the music and beat?

[@tanya41277]

Back when concerts were everything! This was huge because it was around the fall of the Berlin wall. I recall it like yesterday. 1.6 million people and not a single cell phone existed. 1.6 million people looking at the same thing, Sharing the same experience. Life was great.

[@NoName-uq7lr]

Roflmao Isn't the Berlin wall in Germany. If you're recalling it like it was yesterday then I think last night somebody hit you with something hard right up the back of your head. Just to get you back on the right path it wasn't the fall of the Berlin wall it was the collapse of the Soviet union now you have learned something.

The Berlin Wall came down in ‘89. This concert was right before the fall of the iron curtain, a.k.a. USSR.

I saw Metallica live in 1999. It was awesome! Best concert I’ve ever been to. My husband was annoyed, we were on the floor in the pit and I’m a small woman. I kept getting pushed, and he was about to lose it. I enjoyed every minute of it. 😂

That is how they celebrated when the Berlin Wall collapsed. The sounds of freedom!

[@bladebuildermike]

Bud…I am so pumped you took my suggestion and watched this concert. It was truly a remarkable show. Watching you discover the band and feeling the things I felt when I first discovered them is awesome. So glad you’re going to check out the rest of their catalog. The late 80’s and early 90’s saw a big change in politics in Eastern Europe at the time. Between the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union in Dec 1991, communism is those countries was coming to an end. To have a festival like this was such a release for people. I don’t care what drug you take…there is NO HIGH like walking on to a stage in front of one million people and playing your ass off. Looking forward to more content bud.

It wasnt just metallica either. There were a number of bands that attended this concert. With the fall of the Berlin wall and the fall of the tyranical regime in the area more rock n roll and heavy metal bands were allowed into the country which were previously not. Thats a part of the big significance of this concert. It represented the peoples freedom and this was one of the ways they celebrated. Music has always had an impact on peoples hearts and often has had a deep message/lesson behind songs. The fact that these young and old soldiers could finally listen to the music they desired while tearing down a wall dividing their nation was a 2 for 1 special of outstanding proportions. Im sure there must have been some conflict going on somewhere in the crowd but if your dumb enough to start a fight in a crowd of that size after they just tore down a significant hinderance to their nation and spoil their freedom and this great reward... I wouldnt expect to get out of there alive. Especially when a bunch of them are military who just finished the cold war and ww2. You can be sure many of them were likely going through or starting to have ptsd from the war. They needed the break not more conflict.

Half of them probably made a dumb choice after drinking or doing a bunch of drugs. back then who knows.

The military guys shown in the crowd partying were not part of the security troops, in fact, the one wearing his jacket with the black patches was actually from the Armored Troops. The majority of the troops actually working security at this event were from the MVD 'Министерство внутренних дел', (like the guy with the cap with the maroon cap band) along with a smattering of Militia and KGB troops. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union (MVD) was the interior ministry of Russia, responsible for law enforcement and internal security. It oversees several key agencies, including the Police of Russia, Migration Affairs, Drugs Control, Traffic Safety, the Centre for Combating Extremism, and the Investigative Department. Someone asked in one of these reviews what kind of drug these people were on, and I told him..."Freedom". This type of excitement was everywhere during this period, I remember one train trip form Budapest to Prague....sitting in second class with a compartment full of Czech soldiers drinking wine and jamming to a Scorpions tape in a boom box.

This was when the Soviet Union was about to collapse and this was one of the first times western bands were allowed to perform over the iron curtain. These people had only heard western music over pirated radio, so they let loose quite dramatically when they could actually see this show. I think like 30 people died at this event. You should watch their video of "Creeping Death" at this concert. That's pretty epic as well.

the helicopter were used for surveillance yes - but they also were used to help circulate the air. The massive group of people created so much body heat that it created it's own microcosm of humid climate - a layer of moisture over the open-air venue. The song explores the fact that most of our stories/fairy tales we are taught in our youth have an underlying darkness to them. Children are taught a creepy boogeyman called The Sand Man enters their room at night and throws sand in their eyes to help them sleep - this to explain dreams and why there's eye-crust in the morning. "London Bridges falling down". How about 'pocket full of posies, ashes ashes we all fall down'. This happy little nursery rhyme we learn as children is about the Black Plague. So this song is exploring the darkness found in our children's stories to makes us feel better.
