Metallica never was the same when Corey left
Lol I couldn't agree more.
Corey Taylor never played for Metallica, the fuck are you talking about?
He really talking like he was in the band fr 😂
Imagine Lars Ulrich as new Drummer in Slipknot
Yeah
Kirk James and Lars are what matters
It was Russia's first-ever open-air rock and metal concert. There were 1.6 million people in attendance at this concert, and the show was free.
And they still had less problems than blue ridge rock fest
@elilachappa3330 My grandma went, and she was in her mid-70s at the time
I was there at the '91 Moscow show. I walked around and counted 1,514,849 people in attendance. It was nuts.
Nice
You can count?
Jason Newsted mentioned in woodstock 99 interview, its 400k+ people, off course they claimed number keeps getting higher to 1 million then 1.5 million. Wouldnt be surprise if its 5 million in articles from 2030 written by AI.
Still, Corey's knowledge of music overall is mind-blowing. Legend
Your not too bright then 😎
Yeah, it’s mind blowing for sure…he failed to mention that AC/DC, Pantera and others also played that show too!
Just because it's coming out of his mouth doesn't make it true. I was annoyed with all his common knowledge errors he spewed during this podcast.
Corey knows nothing about REAL Metal because Slipknot isn't Metal. What Metalhead doesn't know anything about the super popular bands he was mentioning? Amateur at best.
That's what happens when you remain a fan into your success.
It wasn't a Metallica concert. It was a heavy metal festival. It had other bands as well. Pantera, AC/DC. Update: I fixed it.😆
AD/BC
AC/CD
BA/CD
DC/AD
AB/CD
Cory is a national treasure and Metallica historian.
I would watch every video from Corey talking about the metal/rock history
and you'd be horribly misinformed
I love how no one ever mentions they weren't the headliner.
Pantera killed it at that concert. Never forget fuckers
Toasty!
AC/DC were the headliners
There was actually 6 bands playing but footage for Metallica is the easiest to find. Entrance was free but they stopped counting at 500,000 or something. 1.5 million is an estimate but I don't know what it's based off. Maybe the amount of area the crowd covered. It was on an airfield in Moscow.
There's also military everywhere and helicopters flying over the crowd.
Hetfield talked about it when he was on Joe Rogan which is worth listening to.
Jason Newsted literally mentioned in woodstock 99 interview, its 400k+ people, off course the claimed number keeps getting higher to 1 million then 1.5 million. Wouldnt be surprise if its 5 million in articles from 2030 written by AI.
Monsters in Moscow was wild. Pantera played that show too.
Love that Corey is such a Fan as well … so cool 😎
There was Metallica, AC/DC, Pantera and a couple other lesser known bands that played, those 3 alone would sell anything out, now add the Soviet Union collapsing to it, Rock & Metal + Freedom = Moscow 91
No shit the jack played on acdcs live album was sung in Moscow at this then that's sick
Another fun fact (thanks to Rex Brown's autobiography): There was no 'customs' in the USSR when that show happened. The August 1991 coup attempt happened a little over a month before the concert, & the country was pretty much locked down. Per Rex, the mayor of Moscow at the time (Gavriil Popov) had written a letter & sent it to Pantera, essentially functioning as their visa to enter the country. The USSR dissolved 3 months later on Christmas Day 1991.
listening to one of fave singers talking about one of my all time fave bands...awesome!!
I love Metal history classes. I could hear Corey talk about this stuff all day.
Black Crowes, Pantera, and AC/DC as well... I've seen the VHS... pretty cool thing to happen.
I saw Metallica last night in Arlington TX! Great concert.
God i miss having these kind of conversations from highschool lol. 🤘
I got Binge and Purge Box Set as a Christmas present back in the 90's. It had all the "tabs" (mostly wrong) and hours and hours of video tapes. I learned every song from the first 5 albums. My mom still makes me play Nothing Else Matters on guitar to this day.
It had tabs??? I'll have to look in my box because I don't remember that. And it's an official product, it would be really bad if the tabs weren't correct.
The headliner was AC/DC. It was only Metallica that has run around for 20 years making it seem like the crowd was there for them. Primarily because it was daylight during their set and you could see the crowd (unlike during AC/DC's set).
On be silent
When I’ve heard them talk about it they would mention that other bands and AC/DC was there so idk what you are talking about
Thats like trying to hold queen accountabke for being the most remembered performance at live aid, its not like the bands are making sure nobody else gets credit
😂😂😂😂 Metallica were the biggest band in the world in 91 bigger then AC/DC
Billy Joel played Moscow in 87 at Olimpiyskiy Stadium during his 6-show tour. He was the first Western artist to penetrate the curtain.
To me the bigger thing of that monsters of rock festival has to be the pantera show. I mean they didn't have the same crowd yet, but the energy and power they must have brought to that stage.
I always wondered if they actually filmed the entire thing because to my knowledge you can only find the clips they used for music videos.
You can find their whole set on here dude. It’s like 24 mins long, and they went on at 10 am. Talk about WAKE THE FUCK UP!!
Yep Pantera killed it!
Nah Metallica were the biggest band in the world at the time
@@Jasonmcglovon I am talking about the performance, not the notoriety of the band
I saw them at the Capital Center in DC in March of 92,I went to the 1st night (they played 2) they still had long hair….man….what a great show 🖤🤤
I swear every time I come back Corey’s hair gets crazier and crazier 😂
I think the 1.6 mil is just what the ticket sales showed. They estimate a LOT more actually there.
was just after the soviet union fell it was the moscow piece concert wasn't just mettalica crue, skid row, etc
People in that concert are still on their way home til now.
AC/DC and Pantera were there too! Insane lineup 🤘
Wish I hadn't lost all my albums, concert ticket stubs, autographs,concert drum sticks picks,etc... when storage locker got robbed. I seen on ebay the white import creeping death album in good shape is worth a couple hundred.
They still are the "biggest band" in the world today. No one else.
When Steve-O speaks I want to clear my throat, hehe
Corey sure knows his metal...🤘
Before all those bands went to played in Russia. It was one solo recording artist his name Yngwie J malmsteen in 1989. Live in Lenigrand. St Petersburg Russia.
Was kinda hard to play in Russia a while before -91. Since Soviet was a dictatorship that didnt really allow heavier metal concerts. Specially not US based ones.
Metallica is still the biggest band in the world 🌎
Biggest heavy metal band yes
Bro talks more with his hands than a sign language interpreter 😂😂
For The Deaf Metalheads
If I am not mistaken, that concerts lineup consisted of Metallica, Ac/DC and Pantera. It seems possible that there was that many people, knowing it was those bands at the first rock concert in Moscow post Berlin wall at an air base. The space would be big enough and this is Metallica and Pantera at peak powers in a location starving for live rock music.
Guys please, Metallica headlined it .
Pantera never even sold out stadium on their own lol
Metallica always gets all the glory for this massive show in Moscow but everyones seems to forget that metallica were supporting AC/DC at this show
It has nothing to do where you're at in the line up, it's about what you deliver, Pantera did for sure and Metallica more than that at the time.
@@ImDembe your right there fella there was a good couple of SUPPORT bands on the bill at the AC-DC show
@@twistedrockafella Not many bands come out with confidence AFTER Pantera and Metallica in the early 90s :)
Never saw the ACDC preformance before and it's a different vibe becuase the audience was warm and the sky dark.
Metallica were a bigger band then AC/DC in 91
@Jasonmcglovon that's like, saying they were bigger than ozzy on the puppets tour
Corny Taylor is a rockstar! Maggots unite! 🤘🏻
🔥💀🐍
Check out Domination by PanterA live in Russia. It's better than their studio version imo 🤘🤘
The perfect performance of that song and everyone I've ever got into Pantera or just metal in general has been made to sit through that video
I love how over time the number of people at that show keeps magically increasing, it was 900,000. Then it was a million now it’s 1.5 million 🙄
I've heard 1.5 mil for the last 20 years or so.
Same.@@84jdgregory
It is 1,684,754 right now
Well you heard wrong it was 1.6 million
Some people are still there so the audience keeps reproducing =)
Imagine 1,000,000.5 people and soldiers, helicoptors patrolling the crowd directly overhead in Russia… yeah all those people singing along knowing the words and they didn’t have record store sales in their country. It was all bootleg. This is how popular metallica is no ticket sales… it was free “1991” what an epic time!🤘
The logistics to handle that many people must have been mind-boggling. What did they feed them?
Metal.
"Arguably the biggest band in the universe"
Yeah that's why ACDC was the headliner lol.
Just cause acdc was the headliner doesn’t mean shit Metallica were the superior band period
lol Metallica were bigger then AC/DC in 91
WHEN METALLICA WAS METALLICA
because of this era, I began to realize that jason Newsted was the actual, driving force, behind MetallicA’s rage…..
Long Live Newsted, rest in peace
Whadda ya mean, r.i.p. Jason newsted.? He didn't die??
@@timothyhall7153
Brotha Man…… Look at that Specific Newsted……. That man is gone… never to return….. Walked away from the biggest band in the world…. To create his own band & Paint….. no knock on Newsted…. My sons middle name is Newsted, I have the black album of Jason, on my calve….. Reread it,, then it’ll make more sense…. It’s all good 👍
Nothin but love n respect to that era OF, Jason Fuckn NEWSTED 🤘😡🤘
Why didn't you name him Jason?
@@mikeynoclass8240
Hella Jason’s already
Sometimes I think it would be really fun to invite someone who isn’t famous and have them tell their story. I know it brings clicks to have someone famous, but part of why we watch your clips is because we relate to them, the clips humanize celebrities. Let me know if you’d like me to tell my story 😅
Not sure how many people were there...but it was an ocean of humans as far as the eye could see.
He forgot to mention Ozzy fucking Osborne was at that Peace Fest show in 89!
Everyone seems to forget that Pantera, AC/DC, Black Crows played that show, too. Look up Pantera Domination Live. That's the show!!!
No one forgets it it’s just Metallica blew those other bands of the stage
Went to the concert after James got burnt in the kingdome. Someone else played rhythm. Axel stunk
Pantera played that show too!
My father and uncle went to that festival
AC/DC was there too but the band that stole the show that day was Pantera without a doubt. Their rendition of "Domination" is the heaviest stuff ever witnessed by human ears.
It wasn't just Metallica though AC/DC and Pantera was there and a few other bands.
Imagine if Slayer played that gig!
Corey looks like little kid wearing a big Corey Taylor mask
2:04 Wall came down in 1990, not 1989.
The next craziest crowd probably is the Woodstock 99 crowd that KoRn played for
No there are many that had more people than that
Limp bizket, DMX, and the red hot Chilli peppers all contributed to the madness... the peppers gave out candles and then played Hendrix "fire" on the last night and after a few days of extreme heat, dehydration, people literally covered in human feces... that's when they just burnt the place
@@hyeboi1 for sure that had more than Woodstock '99 was the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen in '73
Yeah Woodstock 99 was just… a sea of ppl. It was only 500k but…still. As soon as korn played blind? “ are you ready?!?” The whole crowd was just… a human tidal wave. They were setting off rockets in the crowd as the intro was building up. It was insane.
This is was bigger free show ever!!!
If AC/DC and GNRs played there would be crazy 😂
I thought Steve O was wearing a Charlie Brown shirt.
If you never watched the moscow peace fest ozzy . Motley crew, scorpions.. was just as huge.. i thought metallica played this one as well.. i guess not.
"Every boahdy & their moahhm came out, like, it was, like, so deeude bro, whuuuut?! At the time, neau-body, was doin that, like, deeude!!"
-C. Taylor
This was a reward to the pwople of russia for stopping a mikitay coup! AC/DC were the headliners.
Pantera dropped the greatest breakdown of all time at that show, and they’re talking about Metallica lol
I thought there were mo than one band playing at that time. On diff times ofcouse
It was a reward for the Russian soldiers, which bands they wanted to see. No tickets as was free concert hense why massive crowd on airfield. They came from all neighbouring countries also.
He's right about 1.5 mil being a relatively small number compared to the total USSR's population at that time.
there is no official record of 1.6 mil at the Metallica show
it is just internet folktale
Corey knows more about Metallica than Metallica. He should host a Metallica podcast.
People tend to forget that pantera was also there and did their best version of domination
Its too bad when a people are reduced to currency exchange. Unless its a Euro of course. 1.5 might be a 3rd of that in the West. Reason why we have sweatshops in the Far East.
Steve o is the 💩 I watched every thing that is on the Internet 🤟🤟☠️
Your history lesson today was presented by Corey Taylor
Weird to not mention pantera was the first band to play that day and put on a devastating performance
Corey, I hope you'll change your mind about Russia one day. Until then, thanks for the music.
And while 1.5 mil for the Mighty Met may sound like the largest audience of all time....nope. Rod Stewart and someone named Jean Michel Jarre both played to 3.5 million!!
Monsters of Rock in 1991 was a free show
ACDC and Metallica were the biggest bands in 1991 Razors Edge and Black Album were BIG albums
Not really guns and roses and Metallica were the biggest bands in 91
1.6
it was a free show thats why it was so big
Pantera lit em up though
Why does Corey's head not match his shoulders? Is this real?
Shiiit Metallica Pantera AC/DC!!! A free metal show with those bands!! You best believe I’ll swim across the ocean just to be there!
It was also Pantera and AC/DC
No shit
Hell yeah
Metallica was good but Pantera stole the show! A true Vulgar Display Of Power!! 🤘
In the world? Yes. In the universe? That's a stretch.
Small number? Kids! Stay away from drugs before you make statements like this.
Metallica stopped nuclear war
They came for PANTERA
I dont understand why steve o left metallica
It was a free concert.
Those tickets were actually free
Heading the lineup for that peace festival no wonder they wanted to nuke us ☠️
That's like 1% of Russia's population
Pantera went first Lol
lol you mean the same day? Yeah Metallica blew them of the stage
AC/DC was bigger than Metallica in 1991, 1991 was the beginning of Metallica getting huge. It was Pantera, The Black Crowes, Metallica, and then AC/DC headlining. And it was a free show, there were no tickets (to my knowledge)...so nobody knows for sure how many showed up.
lol no they weren’t I like AC/DC but they weren’t bigger then Metallica in 91 specially after the black album
@@Jasonmcglovon the black album was barely out an entire month when this concert took place.
How you gonna talk about this show without mentioning pantera though...
there is no official record of 1.6 mil at the Metallica show
it is just internet folktale
