Metallica: Shadows Follow (Live Debut) - East Rutherford, NJ 8/4/23

MetLife Stadium

[@anthonyfrombelow]

When Lars is in the pocket, his groove is super underrated. He's always had a good swing in his playing. Technique aside, Lars is a super creative and innovative drummer.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Yes

[@user-Tulpa9Na6Metle]

Well, he has it now from training under AC DC, because Lars himself often said that mostly he only plays under them.

[@run-of-the-mill]

@@user-Tulpa9Na6Metle he's also said at least once-in some interview-that if he were to leave Metallica, Phil Rudd would be the one whom he would like to see as his replacement.

[@jd0879]

@@run-of-the-millhe’s never said. Ever. Phill Rudd could not play Metallica

[@kevah94]

@@jd0879 Yes he has, he said it in an interview a few years back.

FINALLYYYYY

[@pauliet85]

For a 2 day show this was a flawless set list and this was a big part of it. Amazing debut. So fucking heavy

[@zspringerguitar]

Yeahhh finally. One of the best song of the album. Room of Mirrors and Too far gone next please...

[@jmaynez2332]

Yes!!!!

[@mikeortiz9664]

I want inamorata to be played it’s my second favorite!!

[@ivangarcia6682]

@@mikeortiz9664they will never play inamorata

[@MichaelBryanC]

Too far gone was played today :)

[@zspringerguitar]

@@MichaelBryanC Awesome . Now we just want to hear it. 👍👍👍

[@penoyer79]

should have been playing this one live out of gate. such a banger.

[@jd0879]

I think they kept it Creeping Death bc they want a well known song to get people into it

[@365daysgone]

The u.k got 6 new songs, the states gets 6 new ones. They saved the best for u.s

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202]

@@365daysgoneI highly doubt they’ll debut all the remaining songs this leg. I can see them doing 2 this leg, 2 more next European leg and the last 2 on the last American leg

[@anakinlowground5515]

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 I really hope to hear Room of Mirrors live in November

[@alexsilady9906]

One of the best on the album and they hit it out of the park with this performance! Awesome stuff! 🤘🤘🤘

[@jonathansfv3109]

One of the best songs in 20 years

[@Septicshites]

@@jonathansfv3109 hell no

[@midnight347]

​@@jonathansfv3109I like it alot but they've done multiple other songs over the last 20 years that are just as good/better but music is subjective and that is the beauty of it. No wrong answer.

[@PostUp_Time]

*100% GUARANTEED THE LOUDEST CONCERT YOU WILL EVER ATTEND!!* *ON THE FLOOR, BASS LITERALLY POUNDS YOUR BODY, CHEST AND LEGS AND FEEL THE BASS UNDER YOUR FEET LIKE NO OTHER* *126 MASSIVE SUBWOOFERS, 18 AT EACH LCD, 7 LCDS* (in stacks of 3 over 6 ft)

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

I remember I saw Saosin years back at a festival and they played outside in basically a parking lot and the sound was crazy. The bass felt so overpowering and actually felt uncomfortably loud. Like I kept looking around to see if anyone else was having a problem with. Im curious if this show had more bass than that, if so that would be way too much lol

[@jacksonroper22]

Lars killing it!

[@esouka_the_snowman]

Yess I've been waiting for this song since the start of the tour Thanks for uploading dude!

[@josebatres894]

my favorite indeed! Sounds like something Cliff would have played on! #metclub

[@manicmurph]

Nice, probably my favorite song from the new album. Those riffs are sick!!

[@bobabooey4537]

A well polished band. Its nice to see Metallica back in America. Thanks for a great upload.

[@GeorgeDemin]

A huge thank you for the video! I’m glad they decided to play it, now waiting for Inamorata, Room Of Mirrors, Too Far Gone and Crown Of Barbed Wire.

[@Suddsy.]

My favorite off the new albumn is Chasing Light but I do want to see a live version of Inamorata.

[@MarioTorres-yp2kq]

All of them but " Crown of Barbed Wire" , sick and the Video intense! I like the switch at the end...

[@averagecomrade5072]

@@MarioTorres-yp2kqnah it has one of the best solos and bridges of the album.

[@insertnamehere2557]

First show I went to and it was incredible! Edit: I was hoping that they would play this song, hoping for Chasing Light on Sunday.

[@mikeortiz9664]

We chasing light, room of mirrors, inamorata and too far gone? To be played LIVE at least once and I’ll be satisfied

[@bigl1651]

looks like theyve chosen shadows and too far gone for the us leg. maybe theyll do chasing and mirrors for the streamed shows but who knows

[@PooplexCanal]

This song is easily one of my favourites from the new record! Amazing performance, thanks for the footage! Can't wait for the official footage to be released.

[@andrewcastillo9558]

This sounds great live! All the new ones have.

[@MrPiezoo]

Damn, that is super sweet!!! Shadows Follow will be a huge favorite when I go see them next month!

[@dpeady78]

One of my fav songs on 72 Seasons, so I came looking for this once they posted the setlist

[@bakura227]

*Nice! I could watch the whole show from this view. Great job on getting a great shot of Kurt's solo. More video from this show please... Looks great!!!*

[@MxAngelSL]

I love all the riffs in this song! You were so lucky. Greetings from Mexico :)

[@V.Vaughan]

HELL YEAH! That song sounds incredible live!

[@MetalD1111]

One of my favs on this album love the kick in the song!

[@Neo-Midgar]

Best song on the record, a throwback to the Thrashier Black Album cut, like Struggle and Holier.

[@ericcasabar3447]

Im flying out from Honolulu Hawaii to see them in Los Angeles in a few weeks....nice debut....i hope they break out Room Of Mirrors in LA ...FUCK YEAH!!!!

[@Ab46583]

Amazing!! Traveled all the way from Brazil to Paris to see them in May. Really wish i could to be there tonight

[@LucasGomes-nl6tm]

Man! Lars is on so good shape and playing much more fluid!

[@dwaynegarfield1551]

ABSOLFUKINLUTLY BRILLIANT!!!🎼💯🤘👊🙏💕🤜🤛🎸🍻🎵💀🥁

[@alexxdabest3797]

The new songs all sound great live. Can’t wait to see them play in Montreal in a couple of days!

[@eduardomadeira1971]

Finally! Like this, To Far Gone and Room of Mirrors!!❤❤

[@4244rafa]

We can see the experience and results of 40 years of music, every musician have absolute control of the situation, the song is perfect, one of the bests from 72S, James, Lars, Kirk and Robert never dissapoints in live concerts.

[@jesussaves9855]

Great song. Can't wait for Room of Mirrors, or even Inamorata.

[@Faris-me8le]

Too far gone too.

[@AvanzadaDental]

I was there with my brother, when lars started testing the intro we were like no wayyyyy are they gonna play it? Such an awesone song!!!

[@MoreAwsomeMetal]

I bet that for this Sunday (6th of August), Too Far Gone? make's it's Live Debut, in East Rutherford.

[@СергейОса-ф1ы]

Мне нравится, стиль одежды Кирка. Люблю подобные пляжные рубашки. Легко и просто. ❤👍

[@Berkcirak]

One of the best off the albumm

[@dub2459]

They’ve essentially gone back to their roots this new stuff sounds like Kill ‘Em All their first album, I love it.

[@ethanfink5881]

Montreal next week and they BETTER play this!!!!!!!!!

[@foreverorion_]

Shadows should've replaced Sleepwalk from the beginning imo. Such a great song with a killer groove! I'm hoping they play Room of Mirrors soon.

[@jd0879]

I wouldn’t mind both. 16 songs is such a short setlist. I preferred when they played 18-19. Realistically another 15 mins is not that much

[@foreverorion_]

@@jd0879 Yeah true it would be cool if they played 20 songs! I’m grateful for anything tho & glad they’re still playing.

IN FKN CREDIBLE-!!!! ❤ IT

[@gooraleq]

Now I'm only waiting for Chasing Light

[@comedrawcomicwithhc2385]

Coming to think about it. There’s a possibility the album is meant and made to be played live and not a studio version, cause in Eb tuning, with the hype and fun from the fans, the songs bring out their true colors, even the lesser good ones like If Darkness, sound extremely good live I enjoy listening to it here than on the actual studio version

[@Pepsolman]

Love this song.

[@jamesormsby9064]

killer !!!def one of my favs off 72!

[@marcoscarlos5741]

Adoro o álbum todo. E essa música é sensacional.

My dream would be that either night be an ALL-72 SEASONS night! All 12 songs!!! (I know that's not gonna happen)...buuuuuut...2 nights later they could do a mixed set list! How 'bout it James? An ALL 72 SEASONS night?!?

[@tkgtmo]

Was there with my son, awesome show!

[@franckisaac8332]

And now it would be cool room of mirrors and too far gone. Eternal support from a French fan of Metallica 👍💪🤘🇫🇷

[@TheFlexXMLG]

lets gooooo

[@elpelotero]

the fact Kirk can play a solo first time live with eyes closed is insane. People hate on him a lot, but that's damn elite skill.

[@joemoe__9318]

Lol… maybe because its an easy pentatonic solo played in the same spot the entire time 😂

[@joemoe__9318]

Not saying that Kirk isnt good, but literally any decent guitar player can do that. But every solo on the new album sounds the exact same. Kirk has gotten lazy and its really upsetting

[@Mr1Sl]

Room of mirrors God solo. And to far gone great solo.

[@midnight347]

​@@Mr1Slno they all suck the internet said so lol

[@morellasgeorgios8449]

​@@joemoe__9318he played it differently as well but you would surprised how many fuck up easy solos live!

[@gregk.9855]

Hope they play this in Montreal next week 🤘🏻

[@Jayteaseepiirturi]

Okay. I'll give Shadows this: the song comes alive onstage. It's certainly none of my favorites from the album. But it fucking works live. WOW.

[@bruceprophet8367]

Fuck yeah!! 🤘🤘🤘 Hope they play Room Of Mirrors on night 2

[@KingNothing710]

Favorite song off the new album, Lars was able to keep up!

[@BoxCarBoy12]

Great! Now play Room of Mirrors live

[@ConnorMoizer]

Why at 4:00 just before the solo can I hear Batman

[@sipnscoot3049]

I wonder if James was the one who did the art on Rob’s bass?

[@zainqureshi2849]

“I say NOOOOOOO……. Still my shadows folloowwwwwwwwwwww” epic.

[@willdawg0053]

Now we wait for the other 25 songs they have yet to play

[@ConnorMoizer]

Love the hang at 5:48 even if it’s for a split second
