Metallica The Four Horsemen Live in 1986 at Quebec City Canada

[@phantomlord067]

I love that Dave recorded the Mechanix faster to make Metallica look bad, and then Metallica just plays The Four Horsemen live faster than that and actually palm mutes it

[@TopGun_-]

I was in high school from 86-90 and got into Metallica in 84. RTL was one of my first albums ever purchased. When I was in high school, Metallica was a bunch of nobody’s, and only myself and about four others in my High School even knew who these guys were. I was the only one who wore a Metallica patched up Jean jacket every day. I used to collect rare Metallica albums back then. I still have my collection stored away somewhere (Different colored vinyl albums of Creeping Death & Jump in the Fire as well as picture discs, bootleg concert recordings, interview picture discs, etc). I remember When AJFA came out, we had about 10-15 more students in the school that suddenly became fans. I knew things would never be the same from that point on. Once they hit the mainstream and became popular (pretty much from 1990 and on), I pretty much lost interest, as the nostalgia of being in that small exclusive club of fans was gone.

[@ImYourOverlord]

Hitting the mainstream ruins a lot of things.

[@juanc2499]

this has to be Metallica's best performance. ever. Hetfield's voice at its best!!!!!!

[@panayiotis131]

This is so raw, like a beheaded chicken running around sprouting blood.

[@PatrickDiAngelo]

Though i don't listen speed - thrash metal anymore, i can't forget this song..It was my fav Metallica song..It was at the Kill'em all, as i remember and Dave Mustaine had takken part in the synthesis, writing of the song, if i'm right..So much powerful riffs, it was underrated, as the most people like the Seek and Destroy from Kill'em all..Anyway..

I call the slow part "Sweet Home Alabama part" because the guitar riff is pretty similar. It has the same rhythm. It's the part that starts at 3:28 in the studio version.

@vild3r: Cliff died during the Master of Puppets tour man. They took Jason so quickly because they had the Japanese tour right after his death. So the first part of the Puppets tour they did with Cliff, the second part with Jason (1986 and 1987)

[@JOHNNYwxw]

Great quality.thanks uploader! METALLICA FUCKING RULEZ THE UNIVERSE

[@thebiiiiigman]

Sadly no this was just after he passed away. It says in the setlist that Jason Newstead has a bass solo.

[@MaggaraMarine]

Well in this video they play the song in the same tempo as Mechanix studio version and you hear the solo played at the same speed here. So Kirk can't play it? Watch the video and you see Kirk playing the solo here. I'm pretty sure Dave couldn't play as melodic solo as the "Sweet Home Alabama" part solo (the slow part in the studio version). It's not Dave's style but still. I think it's one of Kirk's best solos. IMO melody > speed (of course depends on solo).

[@r1xTer]

watch 3:50 - 4:00. pretty sure description is wrong and its the damage inc tour 5th of December in Quebec City. cliff had longer hair and was not playing with a pick :)

[@jbsharma9766]

metallica is my favourite band but still i can see lars leave so many drum solo, master piece rolling as in recorded version...

[@DaShinigamikun]

I agree, but... you can't appreciate the "old school" style and say... "Good Ol' times!" ;)

[@greatriffishere]

it was only about 4 weeks after cliff died they were back on stage with jason newkid on bass!!! they did think about ending the band after cliff's death but they said cliff would kick their ass if they did that and that was not something cliff would want !!!!!

[@downinaholefilms]

wow, blazing! this is a great show, had this fucker on VHS bootleg back in the day. havnt seen this footage in decades. really captures that energy of Jason being new and the band being pissed as fuck and there is that weird green lighting the whole time. fuck, they used to play with fucking balls eh? too easy to talk shit now, but man, in 85, 86, those guys were at the top of their game, even lars. gonna have to check if the rest of the show is up, I seem to remember a smoking version of thing that should not be in this set.

[@VH5150MetallicaFan]

Metallica forever!!!!!

[@Blackgold1155]

I feel like in this era they played this fast for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) They were trying to throw Jason off and make him look stupid. and/or 2) Jason came from a thrash background and wanted to play this fast where Cliff was more of a Blues and Jazzy style player.

[@metalblade8787]

3) cliff just died and they were super angry

[@calebbartlett367]

I look at it more as they were trying to impress Cliff by how they could play the songs even faster!!

[@standepain]

I heard the band say 2 reason they played fast live. 1. Lars was nervous and just played as fast as fucking possible to get the show over with. 2. They each tried to one up each other. Either way, who cares let's thank these guys for recording these so we can see just how awesome they were back then.

[@metalslinger]

I've heard Cliff's last show, and they were just as fast. It had more to do with Lars than it did anything else.

Why the hell do the same so called fans bitch no matter what or how Metallica plays a song ? I mean today they've sold out , they cut their hair, or they don't play as fast and then you watch an old video back in the day and ask why are they playing to fast or that doesn't sound right because Lars is doing this or Kirk not doing that , come on people no band sounds the same over a 30 year period. If you're going to be a Metallica fan be a fan. Do I like everything they've done why hell no but am I going to to quit being a fan that would be a big hell no and do I miss the old days yes with a passion. I love to listen to slayer,megadeth, and anthrax but do you know why they don't go outside the box like Metallica it because they will lose all their fans if they even tried to test the waters Metallica did. So don't judge me I just want everyone to be a fan if you were lucky enough to grow up during that era and I'm 49 so I know little of what I'm talking about.

[@JaimeNoro]

This was when Lars knew how to play those fucking drums. And yeah, good old times indeed.

[@christschinwon]

double with the right foot & follow it with a single left. I personally find that easier than RLR / LRL. Cant confirm thats what Lars does but if you're a drummer, give it a go!
