Metallica [EXCLUSIVE] BACKSTAGE and walking to the stage Official Sonisphere 2009

[@IreGlenn]

I'll never grow tired of dreaming what it would be like doing that walk..

[@rawgab4439]

Yes ..it has to be epic ...life changing

[@hetiswa]

Same here, goosebumps only thinking about it

[@lurch3268]

Man I was just thinking that 8 years later, can you imagine the adrenaline?

Sleep tight

[@riccardors]

If you've ever been at a Metallica show, you experienced what is the feeling... goosebumps, heartbeating, adrenaline pumping while you hear the intro...

[@rickclay]

FACTS!

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

Definitely. While you're waiting in the crowd and suddenly "It's a Long Way to the Top" starts playing, adrenaline goes through the fucking roof every time

[@JPR17]

Two shows. Always went out dissapointed. Mostly by James and his dumb speeches and the music became so boring. No excitement at all, I literally went to the second one only cause of my friends

[@JayKe-mh8ev]

All metal shows are like that. PanterA and Slayer was better cause was a small bit of fear. Knowing the crowd was there for violence and it was fixing jump off. Damn I miss that

[@mosesvargas4761]

That was the most badass thing I've seen on KZbin

[@TebiCr]

just punching in

[@BillPeschel]

And a nice cuppa tea waiting for him back at the hotel afterwards (Bloom County reference)

[@warlordbison]

Another same old shit different day at the office

[@ShadovvV]

And the guy in the front crowd who got it all over his face said "Fuck yeah, I just got a drink thrown in my face by Lars Ulrich."

[@Pulle5559]

It's awesome, when you're listening to the Battery-Intro and can already hear James playing Guitar from Backstage.

[@CarinaPrimaBallerina]

This sent chills down my spine and gave me goose bumbs

[@multiestonian]

Would be so cool to travel all over the world with metallica. And see their show backstage, would do ANYTHING to get that oppurtunity.

[@thedbq1]

become a rock magazine journalist.

[@KBizzy]

They actually all travel separately these days, in their own private jets. I think Trujillo is the only one without his own private jet.

[@meganhubbard7234]

Love vicariously though fanfiction 😂😂

[@daddyyotv3832]

wow, the feeling from backatage to live performance.

[@Summit-gj6hp]

You can't imagine the times I've seen this video dreaming of that rush. Feeling the roar of the crowd at the other side of the curtain, the rush of walking with your les paul onto stage with thousands of people watching you. It's unbelievable

[@sairas3649]

This was in Pori Finland, 80,000+ crowd, biggest festival ever in small town of Pori. I was close to the front row. Amazing consert!

[@GodSmacked75]

Sure buddy

[@trinity396]

Lars mood switched to metal as soon as James hit the riff..awesome

[@dsbatista2]

this few seconds when the intro is coming to an end, and then the main riff comes and you see the whole crowd in front you....it must be one of the biggest moments ever!

[@laurellylyn]

I love this video SO much, especially the last interaction between James and Lars. The respect and bond between them is really evident and at the moment just before they walk out on stage shoulder to shoulder they seem like the same snot-nosed teenagers that started it all in a garage all those years ago. Could they have ever imagined back them what they'd build together?

[@thaGiLe]

probably one of the most inspiring videos i've ever seen.

[@nicolasvillamil7523]

That must be the biggest rush. Livin the dream

[@dane21dc]

At this point, just like you or me walking into the office of a morning, Just another day at work

[@szymonbalcer]

@@dane21dc ah you can't compare that to the office unless you are on an absolute adrenaline rush to get into the office and do some work 😂

[@mo2wheelz74]

One of my dreams

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

James definitely seemed hyped up just before they went out, meanwhile Lars... was somehow yawning 🤷 my adrenaline is almost through the roof every time I watch this

[@johncohle8331]

@@dane21dc Noooooo. You can see their nervous excitement.

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

When you're there, ecstacy of gold is playing, you're so fucking giddy out there, then in the middle of it, you hear it, the guitar, "hes back there!" Hearing james guitar during the intro makes me so happy.

[@marieprovencio4882]

Thank you guys for everything and then some!!!!

[@unit333angel]

This was so trippy to watch! I love seeing what’s they’re like backstage right before they get on! Thank you for the upload !!

That final shot of 3:10 and knowing I was one of the mass.... dammit what a feeling to look back on and what a bunch of solid gold legends!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!!!!!! can u imagine what robert is feeling?.... the man just entered metallica ten years ago and now he's part of the biggest metal concert in ages!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow.............

[@stevensmtd]

How weird to stumble across this video. At 38 seconds, the steward in the reflective jacket standing at the entrance to the stage tent is me. I did a student summer job stewarding at music events and this was the best one. Saw Linkin Park and Metallica from the side of the stage. Great gigs and I was being paid (minimum wage) to be there.

[@WallDayMan]

You hear the Ecstacy, I get stressed: "time to get ready!!" They're chilling. Battery intro starts, they're still chilling. Seconds left and I am hyperventilating!! So obvious they are used to it...

[@adamtylermiller]

Not a huge Metallica fan, but jesus, that crowd. I can't imagine.

[@joaquinboutaud6709]

the dream of every metal head

[@YoBroMan]

Yup :)

[@buckfuttler2877]

im not a fan of their music since 1989, but id still love to see them live! and they all seem like good dudes...well, Lars can be a dick sometimes lol...

[@Furyan]

This was the only time i saw Metallica, it was pretty hype standing pretty close to the stage. Lost my voice for a couple of days after singing and yelling the whole time, totally worth it.

[@ianroberts4981]

If you like that you’re going to LOVE this. Probably the most colourful, breathtaking and best filmed stage entrance I’ve ever seen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boTOpYStj9KihKM

[@maxinedavieds8102]

[@soupchicken89]

Personally, Metallica is tied at the top of my list of favorite bands, and I am no metal head

[@greffett1969]

Rob Trujillo stepped into heaven with this gig. This sent chills down my spine. Why would any rock star of their stature need any drugs? The adrenaline rush would be unbelievable!

I have been in situations like this *not as big as them for sure* and a walk on is fun/terrifying - its a feeling of going to your own death but if you just get in the zone, enjoy it and be well rehearsed there is nothing to fear. Just own your show and you are good to go.
