Possibly one of the most remarkable pieces of concert footage I've ever seen. Watching James's pre-show rituals is fascinating. No amount of business gurus or universities or seminars can teach this. This is why Metallica have been on top for nearly forty years. Their music is still relevant. Old songs or new songs... the crowd reaction says it all. And i bet Morricone never got a bigger reaction to his music than from the Metallica faithful.

The pre-show ritual should have been the title of this video. We've all heard For Whom plenty of times and this version didn't do it any different, but the pre-show was cool as hell. The fist bumps with his techs was so cool to see, plus the cigar, mate and sanitizer lol.

My mom reminds me the fact she was there and around back when they were a garage band in Socal in the 80s and saw them at their first tour with Ozzy

Watching this, even before they start playing, James seems like a legit cool dude. Here is is getting ready, not backstage, but right out in front of the fans. He stops and starts shaking hands with the fans and having fun with them, but the thing that got me was how cool he was with his guitar tech. Standing there talking with him, looking him right in the eyes and giving him a fist bump which I'm sure they do before every gig, He just seems like a genuine dude.

I have watched Metallica since the 80s i will always believe that they are number one

Bin da anderer Meinung. Ich finde es braucht keine zwei Konzerte. Die Preise sind dementsprechend hoch... Ich weiß ja nicht wie es euch geht, aber in der heutigen Zeit muss man den Cent öfters rumdrehen. Sie haben ein Album rausgebracht, das meiner Meinung nach eines der schlechteren ist. Solche Ticket-preise zu verkaufen und danach erst dieses Album rauszubringen ist einfach purer Größenwahn und zeigt wie sehr Metallica sich auf ihre Fans verlassen kann im negativen Sinne. Ich bin selber ein Fan und habe meine ganz persönliche Verbindung zu Metallica, aber was sie gerade abziehen geht unter keine Kuhhaut. Ich seh z.b in den Videos wie James jetzt immer eine Raucht ( womöglich weil er gerade was neues braucht ) und die Fans in der ersten Reihe zünden mit ihm eine Zigare an. Kann ja jeder tun was er will, aber es zeigt wie sie ihm nachmachen und einfach alles geil finden das Metallica tut. Metallica sollte wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen kommen und die Fans sollten nicht solche Speichellecker sein wie jetzt gerade.
