Thanks so much for this! I’ve been very ill and can’t afford to buy tickets. I haven’t been to any live show since around 2009 when Aerosmith came through NYC with Cheap Trick. This video at least makes me feel like I can enjoy the experience in some way. I always hope that my situation will change so I can see Metallica at least once in my life — even experiencing Metallica from the bathrooms of a venue would be incredible, lol. My service dog is also a huge fan and loves when I play their music on guitar. He’d totally enjoy himself (with special military grade hearing protection) if he got to feel that music live — he loves to lean against my guitar to have a great stretch and nap when I play Metallica (pretty badly, lol). Must be the rhythm section and deep dark frequencies he’s enjoy most because he doesn’t do it quite to the same level with any other band lol. I was born in ‘81 and have listened to this band since I was a young kid. Their music has always gotten me through some rough times as a kid (my dad was very sick at age 37 and passed when he was 41 — I was 6 when he got ill and 9 when he passed). It got me through my accident that permanently disabled me when I was 22. And their catalog has gotten me through the illness I’ve mentioned that I’ve endured since 2018. So yeah, if I had to pick a single show I’d want to see, Metallica would be it. GnR would be a close second on my wishlist. Anyway, thanks so much for putting this video out there so people like me can have an idea of knowing what it’s like to be at the show. Btw, are these guys not playing at their best EVER?! The album is sick, and those songs were definitely designed with live shows in mind. Whoever disputes that this band hasn’t earned its place in music history and all of its successes(*cough Mustaine *cough) needs their ears tuned and a major reality dose.
