Metallica: Whiplash (Chicago, IL - August 12, 1983)

Two camera men, and both are focusing on two guitarists playing open E, while the bassist is throwing an epic solo for the ages. No clue.

Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person's neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force that causes unrestrained, rapid forward and backward movement of the head and neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents. The term "whiplash" was first used in 1928. The term "railway spine" was used to describe a similar condition that was common in persons involved in train accidents prior to 1928. The term "whiplash injury" describes damage to both the bone structures and soft tissues, while "whiplash associated disorders" describes a more severe and chronic condition.

I have whiplash related injuries now, like arthritis and bones spurs and slipped discs. Do your shoulder and core strengthening my dudes! It helps to balance out the stress on your neck. Take it easy with the repetitive headbanging, don't do stage dives and try not to get in motorcycle and car crashes. Protect your spines and bones, I started having trouble before I was 20 and I'm in constant pain now. Not to be a drag, just sayin'.

Growing up in the Modesto California area and graduating high school during the early 80's I remember listening to a cassette made at home by a friend and I loved it instantly! I loved it so much I finally got a copy for myself, I remember playing it in my Ford Pinto (of course) so much until it was finally stolen and even today I can still feel the pain from it being taken from me! Great memories all...

[@mashedtaters]

Man, this is beautiful. Great to see these clips and lookin forward to the Deluxe Edition!

Cliff was just one of a kind. Only saw him live 2 times. In his dirty Denim, he is the heart of the band.

[@martinovromi5039]

James was probably completely wasted... Still awesome though !

[@shayneoneill1506]

He's got no fold back speakers. Its *very* hard to sing in key if you can't hear yourself, unless your super experienced and at this point they where still pretty inexperienced.. Your brain just doesnt know what pitch your voice is at, and his ears are getting bashed in by the band playing at a zillion decibels.If you put an in-ear monitor or a set of fold back speakers in front of him, he'd be nailing it.

[@aerobolt256]

Kill ‘Em All was basically punk so that’s perfect

[@luukeksifrozenhillbillyeur3407]

Probably got a buzz going but deffo not wasted. Booze goes to your fingers, playing is a fucking nightmare when drunk.

[@rozzie101]

As a bass player, I LOVE listening to Cliff play live. Its great to see more early live Metallica video's being released.

[@orriue]

It's impossible to not headbang on this song and other metal songs

[@roaming740]

its impossible not to get whiplash listening to it

[@TheCorrectViews]

Hammet with that amazing solo.

[@Waterinmenbenen]

The bass solo at the beginning is way more impressive

[@Raptus_Gaming]

+Derfel Cadarn Can't blame him for the open shirt...have you ever played on stage before? It gets ridiculously hot even after only a few songs...

[@TheCorrectViews]

***** ...and Yngwie!

[@KorsAir1987]

+TheCorrectViews An amazing solo indeed, his early performances were very good. It's unfortunate that in the last 15 years he became really sloppy.

[@TheCorrectViews]

I used to think as you do but I have found that often the sound system is the blame, too. If he is not loud enough and over hammers it is not as fluid. KorsAir1987

[@monfrancaisaccount69monfra8]

That unknown bassist is a beast

[@haskel420]

it was LEMMY

[@kaiorhoads9726]

Mr Cliff Burton

[@Hokd_diver]

Chase Ford I think it was a joke..

[@FragmentedR_YT]

James James I want to like this comment, but it’s at 69 likes.

Whiplash [James Hetfield] [Lars Ulrich] Late at night all systems go You have come to see the show We do our best You're the rest You make it real you know There is a feeling deep inside That drives you fuckin' mad A feeling of a hammerhead You need it oh so bad Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Bang your head against the stage Like you never did before Make it ring Make it bleed Make it really sore In a frenzied madness with your leather and your spikes Heads are bobbing all around It is hot as hell tonight Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Here on the stage the Marshal noise is piercing through your ears It kicks your ass kick your face Exploding feeling nears Now is the time to let it rip To let it fuckin' loose We are gathered here to be with you Cause this is what we choose Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash The show is through the metal is gone It is time to hit the road Another town Another gig Again we will explode Hotel rooms and motorways Life out here is raw But we will never stop We will never quit cause we are Metallica Adrenaline starts to flow You're thrashing all around Acting like a maniac

[@Miloman5599]

Damn for the early days of Metallica and almost 33 years ago this is some fantastic footage and audio!

[@gilarte400]

00:49 kirk like: Fuck you Cliff, your solo is better than mine

[@Justafoo_04]

Drinking game: Every time James points at something, take a shot

[@petran4018]

I'm dead.

[@ryanleclaire3948]

I wouldn't make it halfway through the video

[@Reed5016]

A shot of what? I’ll take a shot of wine or beer so I don’t f*cking die.

[@jackattack17]

Seriously one of the most epic bass solos I've ever heard. And what are the cameramen focusing on: James and Kirk playing the same chords repeatedly. Sadly this was a time when the singer and/or guitarist were usually the main focus of the band. Happy Birthday Cliff!!!

[@GOSH1406]

what a time to be a headbanger! WHAT A TIME! I can't figure how good was to be on these concerts, with a TON of legends playing in the same night! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[@NooDLES411911]

Clifford what a fuckin bass solo to start a song. 1983 baby

[@uriahverne5725]

1:43, oh no don´t do that, coke is bad for you, cliff!

[@connorohalloran9225]

I was so puzzled at the beging when a there was a guitar solo but James and Kirks hands werent moving. Then I rember that Jesus himself was just to the right of James shredding the fuck out of the bass

[@kirk9598]

I love how you can hear cliffs bass over everything,RIP to the legend! 🤘

[@VideosToMakeYouSmile]

35 years later and this still kicks ass . Thank you Metallica!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMbeagan]

Good sound quality 👍

[@fatihamana224]

My favorite Metallica era, everything is already in place, the passion and charisma of James, the genius of Cliff, I like this masculine energy ah yes that's it this energy of fire and volcano...

[@heiswatching]

Yea sex is cool, but have you watched old Metallica shows from the 80s?
