Jason Newstead was their bassist at the time and he was epic. He was a great bassist and a tremendous addition to their vocals. Also getting 1.6M people to scream "Die" as a backing vocal performance is absolutely insane. Also this was Biblical, so you are correct on that assumption.

SHOCKED THAT YOU DIDNT KNOW WHO THE BASS PLAYER WAS

I've always loved James "haha" before the song starts", and other words he says during the song. The "Kirky baby, go" was too funny. 😆

They wrote Creeping Death after watching The 10 Commandments with Charleton Heston. Even if you are not Christian, it's a great movie and still holds up very well. The song is about the angel of death shown as a creeping mist that is sent to kill the first born child of the pharaoh. You can also watch The Prince of Egypt, it's an animated musical that covers the same story. With an absolutely amazing soundtrack.

Not the first born son of the Pharoh. The Angel of Death was sent to kill the first born son of every family in Egypt. The Jews painted a symbol in lamb's blood on their door so the Angel would pass their houses by. It's all there in the lyrics, and the bible.

The song is called "Creeping Death" because that's the name of the 10th plague from Exodus. It's sung from the point of view of the plague itself, as it sweeps through Egypt "killing first-born man", as the lyrics put it.

Cliff Burton is god

Metallica was inspired for the song by the second half of the film The Ten Commandments, which is based on the Bible tale of the Plagues of Egypt. While watching the scene of the final plague killing every Egyptian first-born child, Cliff Burton remarked "Whoa - it's like creeping death", as the plague was represented by a fog rolling into the Pharaoh's palace. The band liked the sound of "creeping death" and decided to write a song about the plagues, with the phrase as its title.

Harvester of Sorrow, same show. Or...For whom the bell tolls Seattle '89. Amazing performances. Love the reactions, glad you're back!!

James’ vocal power especially from like 88-91 was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately it wasn’t the most healthy for him since he wasn’t never trained which is why he blew out his vocal cords after the black album tour and had to get singing lessons and change how he sang to protect his voice after that. His voice has never quite been the same ever since. And now he’s just a lot older so he just doesn’t have the same range anymore even if he wanted to. But man what I’d give to hear him signing like that live again just one more time

Jason stepped in and carried the band for a couple of decades. And he's a solid human being. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and he's just a good dude.

No, they kept playing kick ass albums. Selling out stadiums. Same w/Guns. Axl, Slash & duff you can’t replace. Everyone else? Doesn’t hurt them at all. Metallica, James, Lars & Kurt are not replaceable. Anyone else is. Just facts. That list Cliff(which I remember the day he died) they went on. Got Jason, after he left, they went on.

I have seen endless amount of reactors watch this performance,but you just complete melt me away with your reaction! 6:46 Thats why they nicknamed him Kirk The Ripper Hammet,i have even seen him play the guitar with his booty cheeks 12:22 Thats Jason Newsted,my absolute favourite in Metallica (no disrespect to Robert The Beast Trujillo),Jason was always the nicest most genuine guy in Metallica,who turned into his intimidating,powerful alter ego up on stage,with wild aggressive eyes and facial expressions,and some impressive windmills. Driven by pure passion! Came in as one of Metallicas own fans and always interacted the absolute most with them from the stage,as you can see in this performance at one point,he looks down on some of them and instantly turns into the biggest smile you have ever seen on a Metal dude. Jason is outstanding!

Metallica has been blessed with talent and success. They have had 3 amazing bass players (Cliff Burton, Jason Newstead, Robert Trujillo) over the years who have left their marks. Jason inspired me to take up the bass back in the early 90s. I loved your reaction and your respect for the talent and skill involved when bands like Metallica do what they do! Metallica has been my favorite band for over 30 years. That said, check out Pantera's performance from this same concert. Specifically, the songs "Cowboys from Hell" and "Domination" are great!

That think "Kirkby Baby" is doing around the 8 min mark is using the guitar pickups against the amp to get a feedback loop scream to end the solo

You should listen to the same song but live in settle 1989. I feel that's their best live performance for Creeping Death

Granted there are tons and tons of great phenomenal guitarists out there, and in this early 90s era of Metallica you could barely discern any noticeable difference in Kirk's solos and riffs either live or from the album version, this song included

jason newsted playing the bass was incribdible !, his performance in "The god that faild" of the black album is amazing

A few months prior to this concert, I saw them in concert at the monsters of rock and might Germany and even at that concert there was over 100,000 people at the concert

To caphowdy's comment below, the subject matter of the song is taken directly from the old Charleton Heston 'The Ten Commandments' movie, about the angel of death passing over Egypt, hence the lyric "I'm sent here by the chosen One, to kill the firstborn Pharaoh's son.. I'm creeping death."

1.6 million people at a concert, the earth must of shook

At that point Metallica (atleast Lars and James) had been a band for almost ten years. They were THE metal band and had been for quite a while even though they had only gotten actual radio play for the previous two years, since they made the video for "One" and then released the black album (enter sandman). Prior to that they didn't get radio play because most of their songs were 8+ minutes long, and they wouldn't shorten them. They were making a living playing live as the biggest band with no radio play so their live game was top notch. In middle school we had to order their shirts out of the back of magazines (4-6 weeks shipping), and hand drew their logo and album covers on the back of jean jackets. I was in high school back when this concert happened and they were on top of the world because they finally had that cross over success bringing in the big bucks.

1.2 million there, what a show

AC/DC was also there. This song has lines from the 1956 movie " THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"...

This performance is simply feral. It comes out most clearly whenever James leaps into a new sentence with a growl.

14:55 The name is JASON NEWSTED.

@12:52 - That bass player is Jason Newsted. He was in Metallica from 1986 to 2001. Robert Trujillo didn't come into the band until 2002.

Hola Raquel, me encantan tus reacciones y la forma en que las describes, Saludos !!!

When James yells F**K into the mic near the beginning, I think he did so with annoyance because just prior to that, he stopped singing to have the crowd sing the line...but I think they didn't sing it because they didn't know it. And James was annoyed.

That laugh hahah. That made my day. The facial expressions are great! You’re fun to watch

"Maybe thats Robert..." No thats Jason.... The Former/Best/Only real bassist of Metallica.

"Charismatic Voice" Elizabeth Zahoff does a good exploration of James's 'ghost vowels' at the end of words...a signature of his

Cliff Burton liked watching the Ten Commandments every year. James was with Cliff watching the movie and Cliff said in a strange voice CREEPING DEATH when the Passover angel came by at night.

Saw them in Foxboro in 2003. The DIE chant was all the goosebumps.

The most memorable moment for me is watching them live being right in front of while Cliff Burton while he was still here … RIP CLIFF EM’ ALL

A new baby discovering that James ends his phrase with "AHHH!" 😁💖💕🥰

It's about Moses and the Israelite's Exodus from Egypt. It's the movie The Ten Commandments.

2:40 From my viewpoint he absolutely yelled 'f***' into the mic, because he was trying to get the crowd to sing that preceding stanza....and they don't know it, which he might have forgotten :)

AC/DC played there during the night, great show... Imagine being in that crowd at night...

That was Jason Newsted Ma'am.

Go to 1 of their concerts ..I've seen every concert since they played in bars in San Francisco and every concert when the blew up ..

Lucky to be from the Bay Area..my first Metallica show, Nov 1983. Bay Area thrash baby!

The song was inspired by the film the 10 commandments. The song is song from the perspective of the tenth plagueq, Death of the first born r of Egypt which I that film was depicted as A creeping mist.

They wrote it after watching the Ten Commandments. The Moses movie about Exodus

This concert was so big and special, because east meets west again near 50 years after WW2. Soviet union was isolated and dealing only own stuff, no outside things. As im from former soviet union country, we also have joke, that MetallicA sang us free lol.

The real WTF is that they didn't even headline this show. That honour goes to AC/DC. I went to the Monsters of Rock show in Nijmegen; not quite that many people there, and Queensryche instead of Pantera.
