      @@sherm570 OMG yes. Takes me back to early 1989 sitting in my room with the headphones on blasting my brand new CD player with this on. I was late to the Metallica game and only really 'discovered' them after Justice released. It was absolutely game changing. I saw them with GNR and Faith no More in 1992 in Orlando for the 7 hour concert and will never forget it. I have mostly forgotten details of all my other concerts, but this was just too big. God damn, I hate getting old. Hearing/watching this today helped.

      I don't think the song makes them sad, by that logic they would never play Orion and they play that one frequently. I think they just don't like it that much, like most stuff from justice, they find it hard to play live.

    Love the way the crowd pops when they realize what song is being played. There is no Metallica fan in the world who wouldn't love this piece to be a mainstay of the set-list; it is genuinely among the most incredibly glorious pieces of music ever written.
    There is also no Metallica fan in the world who does not understand, and appreciate deeply, why it's never played live, except for the milestone 30th anniversary concert.
    Some things are just sacred, and should always be treated as such.
    (Maybe it'll make an appearance again at the 40th anniversary concert. And then the 50th.)

      @highspeedenthusiast6628 Před 5 lety +42

      @@Lukas-kh5gu brother... if you watch any performance after the Justice tour you will begin to see the decline of Lars drumming ability... not so much as ability in general but his ability to play Live what's on the album, he improvises way too much because it's way more simple to play whatever you want and improvise than it is to learn the actual song. If you look at the production style from Bob Rock till now Lars doesn't actually write a drum section, he'll play about 20 to 30 various drum tracks to the same song, cut all the best parts out of all of them paste them together and that's what makes the song. He never actually writes or learns the drum track anymore, constant improvisation literally means you can't play your own shit. No disrespect I've been on the kit myself or sometimes and Lars is still a better drummer but that being said he cannot repeat what's on the album anymore and has not been able to since the Black Album... you said it yourself that you would like to see this played with no Improv. But improvisation is literally Lars Style... it's almost like hitting the like button for your own comment

      1.I said I want this live with no improv, not Lukas T.
      2.I realise Lars likes to experiement with drum fills and I am OK with it, just improvs like Kirk's solos in this video and Lars playing something that is not suited for spesific parts, dont get me wrong people who wants metallica (especially kirk) to stop improvisation at some songs or solos, I always tell them "where is the fun in that?" for example every improv Kirk makes in fade to black LIVE has a touch of his personal feel to the crowd and day and songs like this which are very VERY melodic, in my opinion should 100% get some improv in some parts of the song, and I appriciate it no matter how it sounds to me. I just want this song, live for at least one more time, just like the studio version because in my opinion, this masterpiece deserves to be played live just as the original composers did in their album, as a tribute to Cliff.

    That moment at 5:28, for a very brief split second, you can see a look of sorrow on Kirk's face. Even to this day, playing this song still hurts them.
    Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home-unfortunately for us, cliff, the kingdom of salvation DID take you home, and far too soon. As a 31 year old fan of metallica since I was 10 years old in the summer of 2000, my life was forever changed by metallica. So many great memories with metallica as my life soundtrack. But this song, when I was younger I never really fully understood it. But now, as I am older I can appreciate it for the raw emotion it stirs up. Whenever I think of instrumental music, I think of this. Thank you Metallica for everything. And Cliff, may you rest in peace and I hope you're teaching god how to shred on the bass my friend.

      @Ted Wilson i don’t know about THAT. But it IS their best written instrumental by far. Orion is DEFINITELY in their top 10 songs, but number 1? I mean I guess it’s all preference and it’s, in the eye of the beholder *elbow nudge* *wink* hah get it. But it’s pretty damn hard to put an instrumental above Master of Puppets. So I can understand you putting it at #2, so long as it’s behind Master of Puppets lol. Personally I think my top 5 goes Master of Puppets, Blackened, One, Fade To Black, then I’m kinda between Orion and Creeping Death. Could probably put either one in there for me on any given day lol. No you know what, if I had to pick a song I’d put on and listen to to jam some Metallica, it’s gonna be Orion before Creeping Death I think. So I’ll go Orion at number 5. Of course, I think I’d have to say my 5-10 constantly changes around, but my 1-4 are pretty solid in their spots. Although tbh sometimes I like Blackened over MOP. So 1 and 2 might alternate for me every so often as well.
      Fuck it, it’s too hard to create a definite top 5 or top 10 Metallica songs because they have SO many good ones that sometimes you’re just in a mood where one song is really fucking with you and it changes everything up

      Frayed Ends of Sanity is most underrated. But yes, TLITD is most underrated instrumental.

    Brings me right back to 1990 when I was Paperboy as a 12 year old kid. 6am, total darkness, freezing cold weather in Canada with a heavy bag of 50 newspapers... that shit was in heavy rotation and it kept me going. ...And Justice is still to this day my favorite Metallica album and this song is a freaking masterpiece.

    This proves that Kirk is a great musician; the improv done here by him is superb. No overdone wah, no sloppiness, no overdone pentatonic licks. Just pure improv.

    Man, this song is truly a wave of emotions for me. Sad then uplifting and then aggressive. If you can feel those emotions in a song that’s only a few minutes long, that’s how you know it’s a masterpiece. So beautiful. Rest In Peace Cliff Burton.
