What makes this specific concert truly special and in fact, historic, is that this was performed as the Soviet Union was collapsing.

This never gets old to me! It's an incredible live performance. METALLICA has rocked my world for over 35 years...plus!! They are the Masters!

I absolutely love this song ❤ and i seriously love the energy!!! This is my favorite song by them.

I like the studio version of this song more than the live version

I agree, when it comes to "reacting" to a song for the first time it should be based on the Studio Version. If you want to follow up later with a live interpretation, cool. But do the Studio Version first as it was intended to be heard.

Yes y’all finally did it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

I saw them live when this great album came out in the early 90's, and you are correct about the drums hitting you in the chest. I was in the front row, and I felt every bass kick as if someone was standing there patting me on the chest. Great concert. No opening act. Just about 3 hours of Metallica. And for this song (the one they opened the show I attended with), wait until you hear the album version. Then you'll really appreciate it a lot more than this live version. Actually being able to hear everything clearly. Studio versions should be first - then a great live version after you already know the song. It's just science.

Thanks! Really love all the Hair Band Music

There are some songs that are just iconic because they go far beyond the music. The ECW wrestler Sandman entered the ring to this song, Mariano Rivera came out of the bullpen to this. Such a great song!

I feel like you guys missed the lyrics in the “slowed down” part. It’s not just slowed down-it’s ominous. The child saying the Bedtime Prayer leading into James’s menacing delivery: “Hush little baby, don’t say a word, and never mind that noise you heard. It’s just the beast under your bed, in your closet…in your head.” Best part of the song, IMO. *Correction: not the “Lord’s Prayer”. Thank you Darrin.

A little correction. . . The Lord's Prayer begins Our father, who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name. I learned that other prayer as a child to keep me safe while I sleep.. Just saying.

The intro he recognized as a Good The bad and The ugly it it's called the Ecstasy of Gold the live version but they play without the symphony in Copenhagen and you will hear a very short but extremely intense guitar solo from Kirk that is one of a kind

Hi Jay, Amber, love seeing you both rocking with Metallica's LIVE concert, Moscow. The crowd is unbelievable...Peace🤙☝️😌

The crowd was from their concert in Russia. I think they was first band American act to play in Russia after Berlin wall fell.

Watch the official video it tells the story of sandman that goes with the lyrics. Arguably the best hard rock song in my opinion!

You two have great energy. Stay good!

I love your passion for all music. Imagine this live, it was amazing! This is my childhood folks, I really miss all that great music.

I first heard this song when I worked security at a club that had a niteclub and also a live music bar. One band at that time played this and their guitarist could play it too perfection. I looked forward to it every night they were on.

The crowd is just jaw dropping. Metallica has as many hits all.most as many fans. They are so strong, back in the day they collectively cut all their hair off. It was a bit of a media thing. But many said they had sold out. They came.back with one of their best albums and tours. Their stage presents is just scary.Thanks for this smile.

Seen them in Perth Western Australia in 1992,I was 16 was the best live show I’ve seen too this day…Ears were ringing for 2 days and sore neck for a week,front mosh pit.Had wall to wall posters as a kid loved them still do.So you reactions are priceless to me❤️❤️

Geez, AC/DC concert I headbanged the whole time! I couldn't turn my neck for 3days!! I have hair past my rear! When the concert was over, a guy tapped my shoulders & told me I owed him a drink. He held his cup & my hair whipping around like that was splashing the beer out of his cup! lol I said I'm not buying you a drink! My bff & I went across to Applebees & they found us & bought our drinks all night!! Best concert EVER! I seen Metallica too, back when Jason Newstead used to play bass for Metallica. We hung with him & the group. Jason only lived two cities from us. It was like surreal after they got famous!!

This performance was historical. There was over a quarter of a million Russians at the concert. This was a live performance in Moscow. So many people knew this would be a one time performance, once in a lifetime chance to see Metallica. And they all came from all over Russia. There were fences in the middle of the crowd. But so many people showed up they knocked them down. The entire stage was surrounded, the crowd in front was just a portion of the people. It was literally an ocean of people rocking out to Metallica. There has never been a turn out like this before or since, this was the biggest performance ever. Now you should listen to Harvester of Sorrow. It's begining starts with a very familiar chant of, 'All we owe, We owe her' , from the 1950s movie Wizard of Oz. It the chant that the wicked witch of the East's soldiers chant as they are going into the castle.

there were 1.6 million people there. Before this the soviet union had dictatorial control of every aspect of their lives. When the USSR fell, russians finally got a taste of metallica and several other great bands. But I'm not sure where you got the 250,000 number because it was over 6 times that many 👍

I'm so glad how excited you guys are about Metallica!!... My favorite band of all time!! 🤘 Definitely check out more of them!... You'll go down a long, heavy ,kick-ass journey!!... Enjoy and don't forget to "Bang Your Head!! 🤘😝🤘

I have been lucky enough to see many of the greatest bands live being a teen in the late 60’s early seventies. Going to see them live in 91 with the Mash Pit and all was electric. Keep rocking these bands and thanks. ✌️❤️

You ought to see them in person. They are freaking amazing.

The story telling, the music, the energy - gotta love Metallica

Love seeing Amber Head banging...You Go Girl....You could not have picked a better video of this song to do. Yes it is Va Tech entrance song. It was also, though it pains me to do so as a Mets fan, Yankee Mariano Rivera's entrance song too. Undoubtedly the GOAT Closer. Thanks for the smile

I gotta say, probably one i or f the best reactions yet. Good input. Yeah, it’s a pounding song, Dang!

As a guitarist I struggle to sing while playing. Couldn’t imagine being James Hetfield singing and playing, let alone the rest of the crew up there performing this live. Craziest atmosphere I’ve seen

INCREDIBLE LIVE! The energy and volume is killer. The fans make it a unifying moment that west & east can come together. Music can do that. The talent of Metallica is unquestionable.

James Hatfield (singer) Kirk Hammett (lead guitar) Jason Newstead (bass guitar) Lars Ulrich (drums) Metallica is and always will be the #1 Metal band ever!!!! Fade to black is my fave Metallica song!!!!!

Amber's innocent vision of the Sandman was the norm for decades before Metallica. Listen to "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes. It was a huge hit in the 50's and one of the best examples of the tight and complex harmonies popular back then.

My husband and grown kids went a few years ago in Portland, OR.. I got them on the floor with VIP passes.. They absolutely loved it!!

I like your t-shirt, Amber. Y'all should give a listen to Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song". The bass line is so worth it!

Probably my favorite Metallica song. I cannot help turning this wide open when riding down the road and it comes on the radio. The audio in the studio version is much better but this live has to be seen for the shear audience there. Don't recall if you did it already but their song "The Unforgiven" is also really good.

I just love you both!!!

You guys are so likable! You always make me smile when I read your comments! God bless you and your family!

I finally gotten to see them last year in Daytona. Finally! Finally! Finally! Y’all gotta do Jonny Lang and his song Lie to Me. It’s a bluesy soul type song. EDIT: Y’all should watch the original Enter Sandman video also. It’s more nightmarish. And also do Orion. It’s all instrumental. Beautifully done!

You need to check out The Warning.Three sisters from Mexico. Power trio! Their first take on this song and the newest one that was on Metallica Black list album . First one as literal kids . 9 , 11 ,13. Second at 16, 19, and 21. They are coming up fast w good reason!!💖💜🥁🎸🎶🎵🎼
