Metallica: The Call of Ktulu (Chicago, IL - August 11, 2024)

[@Necro-s]

Roberto absolutely killed it. Props to the man.

[@AL3X1KUS]

People need to talk more about how good Rob is. I think people know well enough how good Cliff and Jason were back in the day.

[@Necro-s]

@@AL3X1KUS Rob certainly is a good player. However he rarely shows it. What I don't like about his playing is that most of the time it is the bare minimum of that's needed for the song. His playing usually is neither energetic like Jason's Nor is it melodically nuanced like Cliff's. Best example - he doesn't even bother to do the bass power chords on FHTBT. However on this particular concert Rob has shown far more attention to detail

I had an ozzy osbourne hoodie on me when I had one set of my wisdom teeth removed. The nurse commented on it, telling me she saw them live at the MONSTERS OF ROCK at the Råsunda stadium in 1984. Legendary gig in the Swedish metal community

[@vindicatorschannel7136]

Man, wish they played in new york. But the trip to Chicago made up for the lack of metallica in new york. Lol you could hear everyone play metallica in their speakers entering the stadium and leaving it. Nobody plays metallica over here so it was a sight of joy indeed.

[@metaltera86]

Same. Just saw them last night in Seattle they played the same set basically

[@vindicatorschannel7136]

@@metaltera86 EXCATLY DUDE!!! Yeah all the songs are very special and Ktulu is being played ever more than back then but it's the same setlist that's my only complaint. Still they are doing amazing.

nice! mine was in 2006 - Godsmack opened and even tho the arena was only half full when Godsmack opened the show they ROCKED it and got a fan for life I helped James get back up on stage with like 10 other people cus he fell into teh crowd during one of the songs

I've been listening to Metallica since I was 11 years old back in 1988. 36 years later, somewhere in the background amidst the sea of thousands of people in this video, I am there with my wife and one of my sons feeling profoundly grateful and lucky for being able to experience this and share it with some of the people I love. Thanks for being so amazing for so many years, Metallica.

[@Shooter_FPV]

I've been a fan since '83 (18 years old). I got to go to the Foxboro show with my 16 year old son. For me, the best part wasn't seeing them for the second time (first was in 1994), it was sharing the night with my son, seeing him just totally rock out. Brought me to tears at one point... to be with him... words can't describe....

[@damowalsh43]

​@@Shooter_FPVlove it ❤

[@Omar_E11]

I was there, on the field. One of the best nights of my life. It was like a religious experience

[@GusGusBagus]

Awesome night yey

[@drummonkey9643]

What I like most about this track is that it makes you feel like you're the Mad Captain sailing those seas in the effort to find Cthulhu

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

Interesting take, I always pictured people answering the call and summoning Cthulu, only to realise their mistake and how screwed they are by the end of the song. It paints pictures in your head without any words.

[@ZanMusicYT]

I was there, my first Metallica concert ! Knowing that James inspired me to play guitar, it was amazing to watch him still nail all of these classic songs despite their age! They all killed it, and both nights were great shows

[@JaybillsGames]

I was there for both days! Day 1 was awesome, but Day 2 was SPECIAL. So many songs they don't play super often. I fanboyed when they played Until It Sleeps, Inamorata, Fight Fire With Fire, and a couple others. Day 1 they played King Nothing as well. So awesome to see them embrace Load more. Hearing this, and Orion the other show was phenomenal man. They basically played almost the entirety of Ride The Lightning both days combined except for Escape, and Trapped Under Ice too! Greatest metal band ever, forever my #1. Thank you Metallica!!!

[@stevecarte8520]

Words can't do these guys justice. Ive seen them all in my 64 years. These guys give me an energy that I haven't had in 50 years. Im convinced that each one of them is the best at their respective craft. And they are so in sync with each other that its like the 4 of them equal 1. I hope i get to see them live. I live in WV . Charlotte and Atlanta still have devastating hurricane damage im fairly certain. I hoping for Nashville. I wish I could tell them what they have done for this old guy who has Osteoarthritis and degenerative disc and joint disease. They make me sing and dance again. I can't thank them enough.
