Metallica playing The Outlaw Torn on March 28, 2009 in London, UK (O2 Arena). This was the first ever performance of this song in Europe without an orchestra. And I fuckin' love that song and the performance!
Enjoy, fuckers!

If someone told me 10 years ago that this is one of the best metallica songs i would say no way... but....now i just cant belive how good this song is..I think i never really gave this album a chance and rolled with the public opinion..

[@weatheredtome]

Phil Anselmo takes a real person to admit this. but you're absolutely right.

[@MrBordagul]

Phil Anselmo hey, it's not too late and now is the right time...

[@gorilla6099]

Joel Villares True bro.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Phil Anselmo - Most people didn't give the Load albums a chance because of the sudden change in style and people's quick judgements indeed. - Personally I just wasn't grabbed by most of the songs, save for a few like Fuel or something, and the ballads like Low Man's and Mama Said are beautiful (but they get a pass because of that). - But when I heard S&M it lifted the songs to another level and my appreciation grew. I still think the album-versions aren't AS good, but it made me "discover" other tracks like Prince Charming, Where The Wild Things Are and some others. - I have big views on these albums, but in short I think the good tracks were drowned by a bunch of mediocre tracks, besides also being mis-presented with just messy tracklists and poor physical album designs (which does matter, especially before the age of digital distribution). - The funniest thing after all these years, too, is that even though Fuel is like an overplayed cliché and almost a meme of a MetallicA-track, I've been obsessed with it more recently. There's so much more to these songs if you really listen. XD

[@Randall_Kildare]

Yeah, this is a gem & was an instant favorite of mine the moment I heard it.

[@anahowana]

U.N.R.E.A.L what a fuckin monumental song!!! I said it once and i'll say it again, Load&Reload songs are like fine wine, it gets better and tastier over time! Outlaw torn, thorns within, where the wild things are, fixxxer, bleeding me...

[@thaohien1793]

+anahowana I feel like you and I are going to be good friend ;)

[@carlosmedina6785]

+anahowana 100% agreed... leave those "metal heads" and non-musicians keep screaming shit about load and reload...

[@TheKINGandJOKER]

+anahowana Only the Outlaw Torn is such an unreal song.

[@boandrews4014]

+anahowana i was just telling something exactly that...as usual. its nice to see im not the only one. songs like this, the ones you mentioned and devils dance have been ignored and judged because of the general idiotic population. they have robbed themselves of the best era on Metallica imo

[@coltallic3114]

Bleeding me and Outlaw are the best songs from the Load era in my opinion

[@deathrider7]

People moan about Load, Reload and St. Anger but played live these songs are fucking awesome. Fuck it Metallica are fucking awesome

[@thetemporaryname3662]

Load and Reload sound brilliant in studio though. I'm sure most songs sound good live because you have the whole live experience.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

deathrider7 - They rarely played any of the St. Anger songs properly live. - I love that album, but I love the album performance... Live they tend to rush and ruin the groove of it, besides them getting fatigued because of the intensity. The closest live thing they did pretty well for St. Ange is that live rehearsal performance they put to DVD with the album, but even that is nearing coverband levels. Unfortunately... It just doesn't have the same feel.

[@vader97100]

Load and Reload were albums way ahead of their time, once 2006 came around people really wanted to hear these songs

[@namemedia1]

Agreed, Well said.....But TOO many were worried about them cutting their fuckn hari!....lol

[@vader97100]

namemedia1 ha in my opinion they looked good, even kirk

[@vader97100]

namemedia1 and i swear, this sounds just like the album version, they kick ass with these songs live!

[@rick1310100]

That is because after Load and Reload, all we had was that steaming pile of garbage called St Anger

[@1DX2020]

Chad Maier it sounds nothing like it....when you think about it...great song...crap performance

[@_azstudio]

I hope they live another 100 years for the sake of our grandchild

[@reinerbergkamen7852]

It's so fucking nice to see James smiling on this vid and doing what he likes. A truly inspirational man...

[@raysdga]

I usually like the angry spitting James. But yeah he did a great job here. The best part was the echo effect 2:46 I always wondered how he did that. You know he had at least a light buzz here. He wasn't sober that's for sure.

[@Andos2325]

Everyone goes on about how they hate Load/Reload yet, every time they play a song live off one of the albums everyone suddenly knows the lyrics and sings along. Why do people bandwagon and say they're shit albums? I'm proud to call them my favourite albums.

[@sadpancake]

I fucking love this song. Wish they played it live more often.

[@larryreno8293]

Check out the S&M version of this song, it’s amazing!🤘

[@lowreslireas]

That solo was just perfect

[@Abarthgo]

Load is my favourite Metallica Album. Drums and solo's epic on Outlaw...

[@jiggleykrowzer8768]

I fucking love Load, it came out when I was 14 and people were kinda "confused" by how different it was but I loved it. The blues/rock/metal sound they created was simply awesome. Every track was great. They even throw in a country song ballad! (Mama Said). As much as I love the first 5 albums and the thrash metal (especially Puppets) I consider Bleeding Me among the top 5 MetallicA songs ever.

[@Uzurr69]

The way Lars played that outro here is absolutely awesome, i love that build up. Everything played in the right place at the right time. Cymbals, crashes, the snare hits, everything. Amazing feel.

[@BatFan1]

I always think if Cliff was alive, James' solo at the end to Outlaw Torn would have been a killer Cliff solo.

[@jofusnufc841]

Load and reload wouldnt have happened with cliff in the band imo

[@jaymz]

Josephoid cliff was heavy into classical music and music theory, part of learning theory you learn the blues scale, and im pretty sure cliff would probably have used that kind of stuff in metallica aswell. i think they might not cut their hair but probably would move on to different genres more often.

[@ericfernandez9530]

BatFan1 my god I wish we can see/heard that ‼️

[@BatFan1]

@@jofusnufc841 how can you even say that with a straight face. Cliff was the most diverse as far as musical taste out of all of them.

[@jimlunn]

@@jofusnufc841 There's no way you could possibly know that. People idolise dead rock stars and yeah they guy was good but you can't say what he would or wouldn't have done 13 years after his death

[@Retrorevelations]

I love Kirk and his work. But James' solos are the fucking best. Always so soulful and haunting, and melodic.

[@Leo-rg8ho]

Retro Revelations If he only soloed more...

[@vommorgenwind]

James and Kirk - disgusting rivalry! What a pity! I love the music! But they just don't get well together!

[@JulesBox]

That's the fun part of being a rhythm guitarist, you solo out of fun bc it's not your job. So it's more creative.

[@bcook_]

Have been a long time fan of Metallica and have always loved Load and ReLoad. Outlaw adn Bleeding me are dynamite IMO

[@lynchhammett]

I would wait my whole lifetime to see them once again.. because without their music there would be no life!

[@jakefree3878]

one of the best solos

[@bowbert23]

I always find myself smiling when Kirk throws away slider after solo xD

[@CoryI]

+Bowbert I like how a guy has to come and grab before someone slips on it.

[@alvarom45]

+Bowbert So glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that Haha He throws that thing with no fucks given!

[@Mart1927]

raysdga Has to get rid of it at all costs, so he doesn't mess up the next part. lol

[@reinerbergkamen7852]

One of the best tallica Songs ever !!

[@octaviasofia1]

Thanks god.... at last one person who loves changes... METALLICA is and always be the best band of thrash metal

[@romulus125]

seriously an epic song. completely ignored. so fing dark,

[@TebiCr]

Metallica ruled in the 90s, I think they made better music, is good the tugh sound but the melody in my opinión is more important, and they noticed and understand that during this period I love the 80s music they made offcourse but I think the 90s was the pick of their music talent and creativity

[@Foxbat9TV]

Just look at James during the outro . He throws so much feeling into his playing whenever they do this song. It is really one of the best tunes that Metallica has ever written

[@os12]

This is probably one of the best performances from Lars in the last couple years

[@davidnesbitt1608]

one of the worlds great live bands....

[@Metallicazor]

one of the best and most underrated songs of metallica

[@marmozana1]

A very rare song to play live. One of my favorites ever .

[@Takadhun]

Lost my sanity in this performance... THIS IS FUCKiN' AWESOME...

[@Zoso77777]

james has such an amazing voice, when he sings that outlaw torn part, it sounds so clean not many people can sing that loud and clean

[@jordanharris2806]

i dont know why Load and Reload get such a bad rep, seriously some of my favorite songs in the Metallica catalogue this being one of my favorites ever

[@radec918]

It's simply the fact that they are such a drastic change from the first 4 (or 5) Metallica records. People generally do not like change and the Loads were exactly that. I give Metallica credit for having the balls to change up their style. While the Loads were not perfect, I do agree that there are several gems on them.

[@jordanharris2806]

you're very right. it might have been a little too drastic but thats kinda what I like about it since they werent afraid to change it up so much, they were doing what they wanted to do. And yeah like you said, they arent the best ever but i sure as hell have a fun time blastin them shits in my truck

[@dmitryowens5439]

I think that there's some great Heavy Rock songs on both of those albums and also some of James' best as well as most personal and heartfelt lyrics.

[@radec918]

Dmitry Owens Yeah. He has a really great voice even when not singing in his gruff thrashy voice. Just listen to The Outlaw Torn or Unforgiven II.

[@dmitryowens5439]

radec918 For sure - he hit new vocal heights on the Load and Reload albums.

[@franciscomoreno2393]

The fucking best song ever. long live Metallica.

[@clemep]

Long live Metallica, indeed! I've been a fan since '89, almost 30 years.

[@rehan1974]

Oh I almost forgot, Jason does the best backing vocals, period.

[@Treyorrrr]

LOL I read this as Rob went "heer me". Compared to when Jason would give a sweet "HEARR MEEEEEE" black metal growl

[@9090Account]

in Metallica Jason \m/ , in Van Halen Michael Anthony \m/

[@taucherdroid]

That kirk solo takes me to parallel universes every time... fkn love,this song and album

[@driver4music19]

Love this album especially this song when it came out. I never really cared for any one else’s opinion so have enjoyed it from day one. Just because it was different was what made it a good album. To me Metallica can’t seem to do a bad album. If you like it that’s all that matters end of. Cheers.

[@cahouette]

I had never heard that song live before that night and I was stunned by the energy that came out of it... Like Bleeding me last year... Load/Reload are really underestimated IMO.

[@reinerbergkamen7852]

James is so happy to Play this

[@winterinkabul]

Wow this was done almost picture perfect to the studio recording. Metallica's best live performance in my opinion

[@1DeathEater]

One of the greatest Metallica songs EVER!!!!!

[@deansnipah1392]

This song, bleeding me, and mama said are criminally underrated af!!!

[@jwspitz35]

WOW I'm extremely impressed by James' vocals, I had no idea he could still sing like that

[@verbalswagrawkey1932]

The way they brought this song home with the instrumental build/heavy groove was spectacular. Love that shit!

[@thibaut1892]

Great performance from the whole band! The outlaw torn is for sure load's masterpiece.

[@Defensive_Wounds]

I wish I saw that live in my many live Metallica concerts...One of my top 5 favourite epic songs of all time from any band!

[@corvette19]

This song is a true masterpiece. My favorite Metallica song.

[@JayPoole1986]

@MrMertgul A slide. It's typically used for country/blues solo guitar but Kirk used it a lot on Load (Outlaw Torn, Ain't My Bitch, Bleeding Me), and he used it quite well. It also takes a lot of skill to go from slide to normal guitar by ways of throwing it off.

[@machachaist]

THIS SONG IS AWESOME, LOVE it since day1

[@miked9000]

7:15 an act of genius. the way you put a simple riff in, with all the different layers. in my top 10 of Metallica

[@drakeo.11]

Thank you for playing load and reload songs live amazing

[@Dcpdanzig]

Rob is cool but I wish they'd get Jason back! His backing vocals were way better!

[@Dcpdanzig]

I also thought Jason's bass playing was just fine and felt he brought way more energy to the band! Ever watch cunning stunts? He's great live!

[@le_maxarus]

actually rob sings better... jason just shouted. watch the making of death magnetic, there's a part where rob sing part of a song and is great. ALSO, what do you think now that he manages to do the chorus of moth into flame? jason would have just shouted.

[@Dcpdanzig]

I never saw the making of death magnetic and I only briefly checked out moth to the flame. I'll have to check them out,perhaps I misjudged?

[@RickGrimesS5]

Lautaro Maiarú Uhm jason didn't only shouted. Listen to a performance of the unforgiven from '92 or listen to a nothing else matters performance from '92. I'm sorry rob is a great bassplayer but he sings like shit. and i know metallica's new song moth into flame and the backing vocals are ok but still meh. But that's my opinion

[@ecykixx]

I'd say Jason's best vocals were for Seek and Destroy and Creeping Death. And all the Load&ReLoad stuff of course.

[@lilcez90]

Great underrated song! Load was great hard rock album!

[@rysecnewton9778]

I was there. Amazing experience, first ever live gig for me too. I was about 17 at time!

[@frantic3110]

This song is a MASTERPIECE!!! Great performance!

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

They need to sideline Sandman for awhile and mix in some Load. Absolutely

[@destructionman1]

I don't care what people say about Load and Reload. I LOVE them!

[@EnRa1986]

underrated, one of their best songs

[@MetallicaRules]

@MrFranztastico yeah man, i've been saying that metallica never sold out, but tried to expand their musical boundaries, they didn't care about the money or the fame, they wanted to see how it would work out playing a different style of music

[@TheSilverFred]

the first time i listened this song i said that it was very different than the last albums but THAT IS WATH IT MAKES IT SO GOOD and i always sing it even if everyone tell me "shut up"

TheSilverFred Nah, you're absolutely right! 👍👍🤘

[@ellenwoods1323]

I LOVED this song the first time I heard it, and was lucky to hear these amazing guys play it live, among other great tracks

[@blauegitarre]

@MrMertgul He throws a guitar slide that he was using on the first part of the solo. It's those metal tubes guitar players put on their fingers for that delta blues sound.

[@cahouette]

But we will never stop We will never quit cause we're Metallica

[@johngunne3327]

I was at this very gig and we were all gobsmacked to hear this song played live! Even more so afterwards to learn it was the European debut of it (I know I was at least!). Thanks for uploading it! 🤘

[@coolguy67]

I really hope they play this when they come back to the states.

[@raysdga]

I was seeking and I found a fucking bad ass live version of The Outlaw Torn. Best live version I've come across. This is fucking amazing.

[@Tom_Stead]

I was there man, I was there!

[@adawosz]

ME TOO;-)

[@chimpkongdesign]

AGHHH, Gran canción, gran letra, !!!!! , pone la piel de gallina !!!!

[@titanium53]

Heh heh heh, I was there! It was awesome.

[@timnielsen7809]

Top 5 in my book and I’ve been a fan since day 1!

[@cfsproductions871]

This should be played at every show

[@moanizm]

its underrated songs from underrated album. my opinion, this songs really hard to play on stage.. you have to give all of your emotions and be carefull with the stability playing and singing. So James Hatfield is the one of the best frontman ever. love you man.. really. !

[@TheCCMorgan]

This song is amazing...

[@Masturboy94]

a very good song, and a very good interpretation, METALLICA FOREVER!!!!1

[@maxmatson1578]

My favorite song off of load and to finally hear it live and played Live Well! thank you!👍✌

[@annafsiler1523]

3rd time listening to this song LOVE IT !! Thank you again !!!

[@franciscorocha220]

Epic song!! the best of Metallica ever

[@mindcrime2010]

one of my top 5 ..... amazing

[@dirtbikepro64]

@MrMertgul Its a slidder its used to slide up and down the neck of your guitar and it makes cool effects when you slide but with a wah its awsome , if you play i suggest getting one

[@gudluckskeleton]

Load and ReLoad were freaking awesome.

[@annafsiler1523]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG ! got to listen to it in it's fullest Had cd 's but it gets cut off at the end Thank you again for the full song

[@wardee13]

I didn't think James would be able to sing this song any more, but he does it really well. Never underestimate Metallica! :P Rob's backling vocals aren't nearly as good as Jason's were, though (listen to the S&M version).

[@gunsr4kids]

most powerful solo

[@monicagaba2682]

The song is amazing, but i died at this part hahaha 4:36

[@Scarecrow545]

@RayB50 They played it again in 2010. There's a few really good King Nothing and Devil's Dance performances around 08 as well, and I believe they played Wasting My Hate in 2004.

[@rehan1974]

I always loved this song and when I heard and watched and heard it on S & M, I knew that it was an epic. Unfortunately, it seems to me that only James is performing with a feel. Too bad. It feels to me that James is trying so hard to keep with the rhythm. It's a shame. An awesome but such an underrated song.

[@ovnianopolus]

ROCK!!

[@coolgabe64]

My absolute favorite Metallica song.

[@themoj0]

i didnt think james had the balls to try this track nowadays. he killed it!

[@davidhall4694]

Being a Metallica fan I accept all there albums and load was a great album and I think people just need to suck it up and give them a damn break

[@GrimRiffer-69]

+david hall, give them a break are u kidding man

[@deb21305]

+david hall SUCK IT UP?!?!? Load and Reload are two amazingly written albums...If people would just listen to lyrics, holy crap dude, they are filled with meaning....both albums are quite epic...

[@davidhall4694]

deb21305 i agree!!!

[@carlosduarte433]

david hall devils dance is way bad ass also!!!

[@danielpaez4210]

Load and Reload had some great tunes.

[@tillyvictory]

I know but he sound is more of the 90 sound. My favorite years of Metallica. I thicker sound. This is very good. Thanks.

[@CanadaIncorporated]

@Magnumbean There's nothing sad about this song being one of Metallica's best. It's even on the Official List of Metallica Epics. What is the Official List of Metallica Epics, you ask? It's an incredibly truthful list that defines which songs are most epic. It has strict guidelines. It's a very elite group of songs. Our board thought long and hard about this one. The S&M performance of this was the defining moment in Outlaw Torn's destiny to be immortalized as a true Metallica Epic!

[@tillyvictory]

Wow this is my way of loving metal music, more of the black album please.

[@alitareq7344]

One of the best outros ever

[@Gotskillz490]

If they play outlaw torn at the concert in sydney later on this year my life is made...

[@romulus125]

what people ignore on load is how awesome and innovative lars's drumming was. very different, almost following rather than leading but very theatrical.

[@drummer7557]

This period was WAY more mature and thought out than people give them credit for. Also a lot more personal. Hell it's better than half of the NEW album. And ALL of St. Anger.

[@thetemporaryname3662]

St.anger is basically a completely different genre. I think it's a great album for getting energetic, or releasing anger. They aren't incredibly well written, but I feel they are the most aggressive metallica songs.

[@OskarsMusic710]

I fuckin love this song

[@USMC2074]

Great tune....

[@jenniewilson8342]

perfect in every single way

[@namemedia1]

Just read the lyrics to this beast of a tune....God damn it is awesome...

[@alraiss]

this song runs in the blood !! searching for someone/something you cant have anymore...and you are running out of time....time was never on my side

[@beatlecrema]

Espectacular, sólo METALLICA puede superar a METALLICA!!!

[@Mahale69]

ty, great job, btw this is me & my man's song....yeah!!!!!

[@davidc.s.8162]

And now I wait my whole lifetime for you And now I wait my whole lifetime for you I ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you I search the outside, search inside for you To take back what you left me I know I'll always burn to be The one who seeks so I may find And now I wait my whole lifetime Outlaw of torn and I'm torn So on I wait my whole lifetime for you So on I wait my whole lifetime for you The more I search, the more my need for you The more I bless, the more I bleed for you You make me smash the clock and feel I'd rather die behind the wheel Time was never on my side So on I wait my whole lifetime Outlaw of torn and I'm torn Hear me And if close my mind in fear Please pry it open See me And if my face becomes sincere Beware Hold me And when I start to come undone Stitch me together Save me And when you see me strut Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

[@marselluswallace6]

That bass line is killer
