Metallica - Until It Sleeps Live at The Video Music Awards 1996

[@Bassman36]

So many people shit on this era of the band, but you have James pouring his guts out, while Jason is just roaring over the entire song. Come on man, this is insanely good.

[@DC-yl4vc]

When you are on top people always want to knock you down

[@MiaQuacko]

Jason is the real Michigan Wolverine ! He destroyed the crowds face with every performance

[@MikePScott624]

The time jason was in the band was my favorite era. Jason is my all time favorite member

[@bigbrother3465]

I wish they would still play this live.

[@novander]

Lol I don't think lars owns a ride cymbal anymore

[@drummonkey9643]

Listen to the deluxe edition of Hardwired. On it there is a tune I think it's a cover, but in it a ride cymbal can be heard in it.

[@trashermaniac2216]

Yeah definitely instead of Memory Remains !!!

[@Eschelonistic]

hard to find a drummer of that quality, insane drumming and really what makes this song.

[@MrPerroLoco]

This song without Jason is not the same

[@timabraham3036]

1996, age 13, this performance made me a Metallica fan for life.

[@justakissbr]

I was 14

[@megamakabryczny]

So you are a Load fanboy, i am afraid.

[@jaymz]

@@megamakabryczny good, be afraid of the superior.

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

I was 12. Made me a Metallica fan for life and the reason I picked up guitar. Load is my favorite Metallica album and Bleeding me is my favorite song.

[@bodycount00]

i was 13 too but on other side of the world in easter Europe

[@victorherrero4790]

Kirk played awesome in this performance!! Jason tone and bassline was top notch...plus Jason backing vocals rocks!!

[@SSSoM3]

3:19 holy shit james

[@jamierowe_]

Some ikr...damn man could sing every song of a current album just like the studio album,now maybe yrs later not as much but during the albums run..you bet your ass he could \m/😝

[@jeffreymason5680]

One of their best songs. Very relatable since we all have our demons.

[@derdampfhammer6652]

Jason is a boss.

[@ColorsBright]

I want this metallica back!

[@tommyarvemark8117]

Me too!

[@MrDiegota]

Boy this audience didn't deserve Metallica at all

[@DarkEtherealRhythm]

Most of the audience were other "celebs" that didnt give a sh*t about Metallica, thats sad.

[@mrflipperinvader7922]

Attitude like that is why there are no rock or metal artists at these shows anymore You got your wish

[@avocadodip2157]

Now it’s even worse at these shows

[@petejohnston1555]

Jason looks so metal

[@alexis131994]

he is the metal

[@stooperbrody2993]

@NPC -30 wrong. James is the table, he said it himself

[@narjobulletwe1218]

no he is human not metal lol

[@standinginmist]

his mic is inaudible in this one im so mad

[@asociety9416]

this Jason kills it like hockey mask Jason

[@Smd-yj6pv]

I like the way he said in the beginning, "Turn off your hearing aids teenagers, it's metallica!"

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

Miss the 90s..

[@tickedoffnow]

They were so Proud of Load/Reload and so am I 👆🎵🎸🎶🎤💋❤

[@anironfistedwarrior7206]

As they should be

[@W1ldPotato]

Back when MTV had a pulse. That was a pretty killer awards show actually. I think Smashing Pumpkins cleaned up that year.

[@ericvitale4307]

I love this era…

[@OfficialAshArcher]

Goddamn they’re on fire here. Some of James best vocals, Lars is just at another level of awesome here, and a moment for Jason - god I miss his backing vocals. Great performance

[@jaymz]

james voice here holy shit

[@zweitakt2T]

Metallice there with jason backing vocals on fire

[@JesseCohen-hb8or]

Metallica has been a big help with my mental state dealing with all my medical issues thanks again super Metallica

[@mazscsu]

Lars is the only drummer I know that has an attitude live and I love that!

[@mackhomie6]

uhh. what

[@MaliceOfRites]

Evgeny Novikov he's a MONSTER on drums and has way more attitude than Lars could ever dream of

[@daniellewatson8352]

He has an attitude problem and thinks he’s God’s gift. Cannot stand him.

[@timothyabraham3850]

The Load era in general is such an underated time for this band but at age 13 when I saw this in real time it made me a fan of theirs for life.

[@richardmbowman]

Why the fuck do some people think that any band has to stay the same, forever? They're not allowed to do anything different? Bullshit! Artists can do what the eff they want and still be artists. Nicht Wahr?

[@ragatrix]

Richard Marshall Bowman Wahr

[@braydenmaine]

anyone else think that Kirk Hammett looks like Chris Cornell in this video?

[@angelfire2085]

hehe yes he does!

[@Volt_LLC]

[@syuhadaabdu2836]

Kirk looks like marlon brando

[@Delon81116]

Indeed

[@sliznyak11]

Yesssss audioslave era

[@bowbert23]

They should definitely start playing it live again

[@pedro_norato]

Here we are

[@jarkonrankaisija8787]

[@aldwincleofe6889]

God we need Jason back

[@junxi9192]

the song will never sound thath great without Mr. Jason Newsted

[@juancarlosfra1464]

Esto es verdad, Jason hace la diferencia

[@Maiden4eva1995]

Great stuff, i love the load era

[@mojy_ariyan]

I love this era Raw voice with some techniques and waves I love it

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

I wish I could go back in time and attend this award show. I was a little kid in 1996, so obviously I'd want to travel back in time at my current age. Metallica performed live. Bone Thugs N Harmony performed live. To have both groups in attendance, watch them both perform within the same night and inside the same building would be way too surreal. Both groups are in my top 3 greatest of time artists.

[@mikesgtrs1]

Kirks Kirkfro allways cracks me up

[@dkonciousblkfemknightman]

so young and sexy Metallica was back then...

[@rotfaun2852]

That explorer is awesome!

[@KRhetor]

Dennis Miller + Metallica= total awesomeness.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Where do I take this pain of mine? I run but it stays right my side So tear me open, pour me out There's things inside that scream and shout And the pain still hates me So hold me, until it sleeps Just like the curse, just like the stray You feed it once and now it stays, now it stays So tear me open but beware There's things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me, until I'm clean It grips you, so hold me It stains you, so hold me It hates you, so hold me It holds you, so hold me Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps) So tell me why you've chosen me Don't want your grip, don't want your greed, don't want it I'll tear me open, make you gone No more can you hurt anyone And the fear still shakes me So hold me, until it sleeps It grips you, so hold me It stains you, so hold me It hates you, so hold me It holds you, holds you, holds you Until it sleeps, until it sleeps Until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps I don't want it I don't want it, want it, want it Want it, want it, no So tear me open but beware The things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me 'til I'm clean I'll tear me open, make you gone No longer will you hurt anyone And the hate still shapes me So hold me, until it sleeps Until it sleeps, until it sleeps Until it sleeps, until it sleeps Traducir al español Fuente: LyricFind Compositores: James Alan Hetfield / Lars Ulrich Letra de Until It Sleeps © Universal Music Publishing Group

This was the video that got my attention.

[@robertworkman1419]

Holy SHIT!!! I remember when Metal was ACTUALLY popular!!!

[@DC-yl4vc]

They still sellout massive stadiums all over the world

[@Dragoon960]

It was at this moment that my life changed. Been a lifelong fan and metal head since.

[@yogengrg7690]

ahhh, Metallica's short hair era....:D

[@jamesscaturro86]

yes this album has a load of good music n song on it. Beautiful guitar sound on this one also.

[@benphipps3496]

I remember this back in may of 1996

[@iananaya7239]

it looks like Hating on Lars and 90s metallica is popular. So many people complain about the same shit, with teh same arguments. Is not even their opinion anymore, just repeat what they read on internet

[@OfficialAshArcher]

They’re elitist dicks with no opinion of their own lol.

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

Of all Metallica's tracks including ' ONE ' this particular one hits the deepest...

[@85Cutlass]

Still rockin in 2022 🤘

You feed it once and now it stays

[@lukeciarallo5419]

And it’s back in the set list in 2023 🔥

[@luattack123]

masterpiece this song

[@bassetts1899]

Goddamn, the vocals throughout the song are great but from 3:56 they are incredible. I wish I was old enough to have seen them play live in this era, unfortunately in 1996 I was 4 lol

[@anjalanig2703]

I was on West Coast in Mai 96. Just travelling all around... Load cummed out these days. Sleeps, Hero, Bitch & King were on the Radio, all day and night long. Short stop at Tower Records Frisco on one evening, there was this huge truck. What the f*** is going on...??Metallica playing live. It was an absolutely coinsidence. I´ll never forget that. Metallica is the best Metal Band ever!

[@SPGRAMPA1]

Ths song is a message to the fans after they conquered the world!!until it sleeps..tear me open but beware theres thngs inside without a care!!!that sums it uppp....theres bands that polish there sound as they go on and theres metallica that shined frm day one and never slowd down just movng on frm that old sound...keep metal alive!!support your favorite bands!!!peace..wdsta1

[@DethronerX]

Damn its been that long. I remember watching this back in 96

[@dextermorgan5513]

90s James is a different fckn level

[@MrRonnie268]

Beautiful song! They still play it )

[@hargilad]

kirk without hair have lower power

[@GEORGE_JATZ]

GORGEOUS

[@Luckyhotsummer]

there is a performance of this thats in a room ... not a studio because they are facing camera however with no audience I cannot find it ... it reminded me of weary sailors of old standing together to get through the storm

[@CSCRECORDSBC]

I remember watching this live on TV and taping it for future re-runs in my basement. I was still adjusting to the load era Metallica, being a die hard Justice/Black Era fan, but this song, and hero of the day are some of the best songs in the band catalog from that era. I look back at this part of Metallica mostly fondly now, considering the garbage that was to come.

[@rulis1813]

Stills sounds great like before. I miss that world....

[@rodge816]

Lars was hitting HARD here!!!!

[@jimjones9740]

My favorite ❤️

[@Anderson-p]

Metallica need play more load album live.

[@justbenelson]

We all know Lars isn't the greatest drummer, but his intensity while he plays is inspiring enough. At 0:30 "bum bum bum CRASH" when he hits the crash cymbal he's not fu*king around.

[@Delon81116]

Until it sleepsssaahhh

I've always liked this song, but I never noticed the Alice in Chains vibe in it before.

The 90s were in deep, AIC, Pearl Jam, were king :(

[@lordgeyik]

One of the better performances of Lars (but he's still rushing, pfft). I think it's their musically most mature era. Killer songwriting!

Demons lurked in the height if this gothic phase. The last best phase of a metal monster. 1:27

Nobody: Metallica died after Black Album Metallica: listen this show until you sleep;)

[@nadavbensimon1267]

i wish metalloca would make a rereload

[@BugRib]

Maybe a "DeLoad"? Or a "MetaLoad". (See what I did there? It's "meta" as in "beyond" or "outside of", but also spells "metal" when combined with load! I'm really clever!) Also, they could have albums called "Loaded", "ReLoaded", "DeLoaded", and "MetaLoaded". Also, "Loading", "ReLoading", "DeLoading", and "MetaLoading". Also, "Loader", "ReLoader", "DeLoader", and "MetaLoader". I could think up more, but you get the idea... Also, how's about a "Pink Album"?

[@akuariumpecah]

overload

[@Maxbev14]

Unload....

[@ianmclean8953]

HeadRush I think they've run out of bullets.

[@ogloc4478]

Ryan Clark “I’m really clever!” Makes you look like a damn fool

[@dacechasinghawk3910]

Lyrically I think this song in way more intriguing than a song about a nightmare.

[@zacmerrick2562]

Jason looks so muscular here

[@sharonhankins7079]

I'd love James to growl in my ear 😁

[@iliftbro413]

great performance

[@badass6300]

+uome20bukz till 2006-2008 james still got his voice, but he just started singing in 1994, because before that he was shouting and screaming the words not singing them and that actually caused him minor voice damage while recording a song in 1993, he healed, but he knew that he had to start singing and not ripping his voice

[@badass6300]

***** well to be honest I tought about it, then I talked with a person on youtube, and we came to the conclusion that he can still sing like he did in the late 80 - early 90s, although this time professionaly and not screaming, but he doesn't do it, just for the purpose of keeping his voice intact, since unlike most bands they do really a lot of live performances instead of releasing albums ever 1-3 years... their last album was in 2008(which I really don't like, I would like them to have more albums out), if you listen to Judas Kiss from 2008's vocal track you could clearly hear his 1991's voice, but it's overshadowed by the back vocals, which are clean and for some reason almost as lound as James' vocal performance. If you listen to him speak atm, his voice is really much deeper than in 1990, so it's only logical that he can sing much more powerful than before.

[@uome20bukz]

A little of James' 86-87, maybe 1991 voice creeped in during the first chorus when he said "inside"

[@ginasmith7736]

Fucking love this

[@DANILO22280]

old metallica the best new mwtallica like a metallipop

[@tieman3790]

Can we all just appreciate how much James' voice has improved since this performance

[@ShadowZero1980]

I think this is pretty much his best Until it Sleeps live recorded vocal performance?

[@MetalFreak4life]

When they got the "Best Hard Rock Performance" award! :) Love the Load album just a bit less than the classics Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets. It's that good!

[@magnossaba]
