Metallica w/ Marianne Faithfull - The Memory Remains (Live in San Francisco, December 7th, 2011)

Metallica perform "The Memory Remains" with Marianne Faithfull. Metallica originally recorded the song for their 1997 album "Reload". This version was recorded live @ The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on December 7th, 2011 (the second of four Metallica 30th birthday concerts).

I wonder if she had any idea that her simple part in this song would be everyone's favorite part

[@shamicentertainment1262]

Shallex Well the tune she sings amazing, her voice is what people don't like. I've grown to like it though

[@clayjf]

I've never heard anyone hate her part

[@jamessuraciart]

Same here. Her voice sounds so fucking creepy in this song. I'm not even that much of a Metallica fan (there isn't one album by them besides S&M that I can bring myself to listen to all the way through). Without her vocal part, this song is pretty much just a generic sounding Metallica song, not bad, but not really that good either. Just wish they would have had her join during the S&M show instead of having the crowd sing her part.

[@Deanobucko917]

I think it is an important of the story the song tells.

[@zacharyg623]

Ya I hate that part honestly. I won’t say it ruins the song cause it’s a great song. But it would be much better without that nonsense

[@Mauti84]

She makes the song what IT REALLY IS. All my respect to this lady.

[@reallyking2528]

Mauricio Albano and idiot James laugh

[@carlosruiz1656]

I just love how much Marianne is enjoying the audience feedback, you can see on her face she's having a blast!

[@F34Rpantera1000]

holy shit its crazey how natural Marianne Faithful looks up their with Metallica. she even seems enjoy the music. this is the best

[@hotdoggravy]

she's a rocker from way back. I think she makes this song

[@rosiewhitfield123]

She's in her natural spot...performing and up on stage with music icons ☺😀

[@AFloridaSon]

WTF? *They* should be on their knees worshipping *her.* Do you even know who she is? She is a Rock Goddess. She was shooting up with The Rolling Stones, when these guys were still peeing the bed.

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

What an AMAZING moment at 3:55. That look between Marianne and Kirk says so much.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Kirk's always had a sweet smile

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

@@tombstoneharrystudios584 It's super genuine.

[@drygon98]

You can see her turn her head at one point and looks at kirk and goes "omg" when the crowd is singing XD

[@Randomeris1]

@Aaron Morgan Man, Kirk looks so Pretty here

[@FlyWithAdrian]

And Kirk is like “I know, right?” This was such an historical moment!!

[@musicmangm7572]

I've always loved her vocal. It's melodic but also sounds haunting. Love it!!!

[@rosiewhitfield123]

Yes, she's always had a beautiful voice. Such a good soul she is ☺☺☺

[@rbilleaud]

Great to see Maryanne Faithful still out there performing. She's like the female Keith Richards, probably taken every drug known to man and come through on the other side. It's sad that she's largely unknown to the younger generation, but she's had a hand in some pretty significant moments in rock history and sang with most of the all-time greats from the Stones to Pink Floyd and countless others. Awesome performer.

[@rosiewhitfield123]

Oh yeah Maryanne has admitted to doing some hard drugs in they 70's. Well she did date Mick Jagger so it really speaks volumes. Been in the company of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards back in the 70's you'd do all the gear that you could get access to. Women were always submissive to men when it came to drugs in that time in history. Janis Joplin was on the hard gear. She gave it up but then had the pinch to try some again. Her trying the too potent dose she had last, was what killed her, sadly. We're pretty lucky to still have Maryanne with us mortals. Don't know if you were aware of this but she developed breast cancer. She kicked the breast cancer, thankfully.

[@Riatzi]

Big respect for Marianne Faithful and kudos to Metallica. Her part in the song is utter Genius. And look at her enjoying every second of it.

[@themorticians]

I sob like a baby at the end-- you can feel Marianne feeding off of the audience and feeling the intensity, the band quieting down and transforming a rocking anthem into a primal, religious chant. Like James says at the end, "do you feel the love?" That's what makes this footage so powerful. It captures pure (positive) feeling. Not something common these days.

[@sonyatiscareno2995]

🙋‍♀️SO DID I!!!❤❤❤👊👊👊

[@user-ui8ol2sc8e]

I didn't watch it to the end before saying my part. Yes I feel the love. Because this rocks. ❤🤘🏻🖤

[@ceilingdad]

She was so adorable, how she clung to Rob, when she came on one of the first things she said was "Where's Robert?" It was so cute. This made a great memory.

[@orion1981]

4:44 Haha James had to intervene otherwise the na na's would have gone on all night. Love it.

[@sidartha96]

Marianne Faithful is phenomenal. Having her sing her part to a live audience is truly incredible. This concert will truly be remembered in rock history. Kudos to Metallica for making her a part of the live performance. This is one greatest songs ever written by Metallica, it brought tears to my eyes and made me reminiscent of the first I heard it.

[@Osmostrix]

This song becomes something else entirely in a live concert!

[@norrielcelario5374]

That outro is one of the most sweetest moments in Rock'n Roll history.

[@dougpittman8074]

You could totally tell she was enjoying herself up there! Awesome.

[@Sacrer]

Metallica makes The Memory Remains great, Marianne Faithfull makes it amazing

[@stevenpappas3753]

That’s one cool Mamma.

[@lemmybon3100]

Her voice is only one they coulda used. Love her. 🤘🏻

[@msssorum]

I freaking love Marianne's voice

[@violentlyhxppy]

the smile on their faces watching her and the crowd at the end is priceless

[@TigerSuede]

im 16 years old and discovered Marianne Faithfull a few years ago. I just cant get enough of her, shes incredible. Ive researched her backstory and I did a school presentation on her in the topic of Sexism in rock n roll. Im glad that a band like Metallica still includes her in the scene because she deserves to be known!!

[@TurmoilBrump]

She is absolutely beautiful, back then & right now.

[@dkonciousblkfemknightman]

I love this song and Marianne.....

[@MrPhantomLord11]

Who noticed around 4:03 Marianne Faithfull looks at Kirk with face which says: "What the hell?! This crowd is fucking awesome! You're great guys! "

[@user-hc9zp3mk1b]

The thing is that she says "I sing dada-da-daa but they keep going ho-oooo-o-o" hahaha! But still awesome

[@s2ths2]

Metallica introduced me to Marianne's music. This is amazing!

[@nameless76mozwhaz9]

Ever see marianne in her younger days? Drop dead gorgeous. Check it out.

[@eacar]

+nameless76 mozwhaz holy shit

Did u check her out back in the day?

[@nameless76mozwhaz9]

Ikr. Smokin hot. Some of the footage I saw she was 18 or so and just beautiful.

[@justinthymes5680]

Yup she was bangin' hot.

[@nameless76mozwhaz9]

Yes she was a gorgeous young woman. I swear I should have been born in my parents generation.

[@huntergant6518]

So fucking cool they got Marianne faithfull to come and sing everyone's favorite part

[@coldvoid]

She really makes the song something even more special

[@neoneherefrom5836]

Oh man what a special moment. I would have drowned her out myself if I had been there! Thanks, Marianne! Glad she made it through COVID!

[@ItsTimeIDisappear09]

Wow she's so taken away at how the Metallica fans keep singing it. I love it

[@patrickmelhorn793]

Marianne seems to love Kirk

[@Riatzi]

Who doesn't love Kirk?

[@Benjawin6671]

The other way around

[@nechastivi3187]

Imagine whole crowd singing your simple line in Metallica song, that's a goal!

I had no idea this was someone’s unaltered vocals before tonight, let alone Marianne Faithfull. I’d just never googled it before. Absolutely blown away. I thought it was a heavily compressed male’s voice all this time.

[@williamvandergrift9741]

I thought James had helium and started singing

[@hexen100]

THANK YOU Tallica!!! Marianne sooo deserves to be on stage and be loved once more!

I keep watching this and I can’t believe how all their faces are lit up like kids on Christmas morning. They are all enjoying it so much.

Marianne is badass 💟

[@supersmellyglove]

Man. Seeing Metallica in a "club" would be massive. The smaller the better. I googled The Fillmore and it seems like it's a 1300 cap venue. That would be fun as hell, close and intimate as hell for a band this size. In this song her voice is the main event. Stellar.

They played this at my first Metallica concert and for sure I joined in when it was time for the audience to sing. That was over 21 years ago but now I can almost match her singing her input to the song. I'd sure loan my voice on stage to Metallica as a female voice for it to be performed.

[@suxix7312]

It may be a simple part of the song. But it is the song. Simple I think only describes the word " La " or " Da " she sings over and over again. But the way she sings it is why music will never really need any words.

[@worlds14320]

They tend to play this song a little faster live. It only took like four minutes when I saw them in Dublin a few years ago. but it was the best four minutes of the whole show. this song is greatest live.
