Metallica: Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (Fresno, CA - December 9, 2018)

This song got me into Metallica when I was 13 or 14. Me and a friend were hanging out in a park in Hazel Grove, England...... when another friend came running up with his walkman (with the flimsy metal band headphones with orange foam ears) and said "listen to this!". It was the intro to Sanatarium and I was sold. My first Metallica song, and my favorite Metallica song. Good memories.

[@Hunter-mw1uu]

I have a similar story but with fade to black. My friend showed me it about a year ago and I was hooked. I'm 14 now

[@elzbietazaba638]

Welcome home and Fade to Black - my first Metallica's songs and still ones of my favourite🖤

I am 46 years old and I think I was about 10 or 11 when I heard the Master of puppets album and it was sanitarium that got me hooked I understand it was amazing and still is 🤘🤘

@John Lydon ain't it weird that we were first introduced to the Master of puppets album and then had to go backwards to hear the first two and my mind was then blown away even more 🤘🤘

And James still has the best damn down sweep of any Rhythm guitarist....EVER!!!!!

[@BosGaurus05]

True

[@gasmaskedbassist1538]

If you've ever tried his alternating picking, you'll ask how his hand hasn't detached, I have arthritis from play Master of Puppets (jk it's really good though)

[@matthewfranson6523]

His precision with his left hand is pretty God like aswel!!

[@masterhakesho]

James is the king of down picking, but remember Kirk is right there down picking along side him. James has said his right hand speed is a result of him and Kirk egging each other on to play faster in the early days.

[@Hippie459MN]

And again, Kirk is playing that amazing 1959 Les Paul Standard that was previously owned by Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green, that Kirk paid $2 million dollars for. Hell yeah!!!!!

[@PhoenixWaffen]

I was 16 and in a half way house for alcohol addiction when one of the guys handed me a cassette tape labeled Metallica: And Justice for All. Put my headphones on and pressed play. I had never heard sounds like that before! I was hooked! I was into Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Twisted Sister and Van Halen. Metallica was from another planet! After I wore that tape out I discovered Ride the Lightning! I had gotten to the lowest point in my life and decided to end it. I played Fade to Black over and over and swallowed 3 bottles of pills and chugged a pint of crown royal. I literally faded to black. I woke up 3 days later in ICU. Then in a “Sanitarium.” So, I can relate to Metallica’s songs more than any others. Metallica has always been in my playlist and will continue to be! 🤘🏻

I dont know what you think, but for me, this is the best performance of this song. The tone is perfect, lars keeping a tight and steady tempo, kirk nailing every solo on his peter green les paul, james singing perfectly with perfect articulation, bass loud, the beautiful clean riff (i know that its actually the rainbow worrior riff by bleak house), tight distorted parts, and that enchanting bass intro with the volume swells that make it sound like a cello, but best, that moment of silence, respect and mystery in the cliff-esque intro and then the audience goes wild when the main riff comes in. Yes.
