Metallica - Fade To Black - Seattle '89 (Reaction)

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

These dudes are in their 6os and still rocking just as hard…it’s incredible…I saw them here in Baltimore 2016…3 hrs of straight perfection

[@penguin82875]

None of them are 60 yet. Kirk and James are 59, Lars is 58, Robert is 57. But yes, I understand your point

[@kieranobrien7342]

It's always great to see people experience this band for the first time, iv been listening 25 years plus 🤟🤘

[@debradanner5030]

This whole concert is 🔥. A must see!

[@paulb808]

A flawless rendition indeed!

[@RobertT-ej4np]

Kirk Hammett!!! Pretty sure you will remember the name of Metallica’s lead guitarist as many of those heavenly guitar licks and solos you hear are thanks to this man. ‘Nothing Else Matters’ and you will have done the trio of big ballad songs. Great live bands rule... awesome reaction Rory!

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

Solo from "Nothing Else Matters" belongs to James Hetfield, their singer and rhythm guitarist

[@bewusstsein3527]

thanks to schenker for inspiring kirk

[@mrspgp]

Master Of Puppets from same show is sooo good 🤘🏻 best live band I've seen back then and still now 🥰

[@Ozz77765]

His name is kirky baby, go!

[@mattwaterhouse7908]

Their first album was in 83

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Dude, I think we’re around the same age, I’m 38, can you fucking imagine how awesothat must’ve felt being these dudes during this time…especially as a guitarist it’s the ultimate

[@andyk2607]

Bro, if you want to see insane please react to “battery” from this same show in Seattle. It’s a face melter

[@Jmab-rv7jc]

Metallica “enter sandman” & “creeping death” live in Moscow91 will top that. Seattle 89 is top notch too though

[@theforsaken4489]

This is the real Lars. If you cannot feel Lars groove and feel in this performance then people shouldn’t be judging lars at all. He was a beast back then not anymore now he really is sad now. But the fills he does in this performance have so much feel and groove. His kit sounds fcn tough too.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Good stuff dude, appreciate it…this entire show RULES…try THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE from this show

[@riphopfer5816]

Agreed. Pay careful attention to Hetfield’s eyes. I used to watch this over and over on VHS after my divorce. I’d literally just lie on mi mattress on the floor with my bottle of cheap blended Scotch and the coffee I’d mix it in, popping Xanax and Adderall and watching this concert over and over, grinning every time I’d see the brilliant rage in James’s eyes during ‘Thingy’, and knowing it was the same furious look I took on when I spat venom and vituperation at any fucker what looked at me wrong, passing on the street. That was 21 years back, so my mental health’s improved a bit, but I still have weird bittersweet memories of those times. I fuckin hated everything at the time, and mostly wished I were dead, but compared to the utterly dull, affectless, crippled, emotionless potato-person I’ve become in middle age, I look back and think, ‘Yeah, them times were shite, but I was fuckin legendary.’ That’s just how it is.

Only a Les Paul sings like that
