[carsonnichols]

As a drummer, HUGE props to lars for still keeping the set and tempo stable with your sticks and pedals being slick asf

[Akeran]

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE GOOD FANS WHEN *THEY START SINGING THE FREAKING GUITAR SOLO*

[Metzgerchef]

Lars smacking the life out of the drums and just seeing rain fly everywhere is badass

[latotf]

the water flying off of the drums when lars plays them is epic

[DeadManProp]

Despite their huge fame, I think Metallica is often underappreciated for how insanely skilled they are at playing live. They sound so damn tight every time.

[bongo_baggins]

Lars: my sticks are slipping!
James/Kirk: please, pick, don't leave me...
Rob: fuck yea, we're gliding now!

[franciscomenano]

-What about underwater?

[darrenmcdonagh]

Lucky enough to be there, when it rained, it wasn't a sprinkle it was torrential, everyone went wild, and it was one of them moments when the whole crowd felt as one. In my top three live music experiences!

[daikimizu]

That part where it stops raining at 3:20 it's just perfect, right on cue with the clean part of the song.

[nathang]

Rain: I'm gonna ruin this man's whole care-

Metallica: No

[palashshrivastava]

Crowd is literally singing the solo. Legendary band for a reason.

[magiera]

I come back to this every few months. I was there and its easily the best gig ive ever been to. Ill remember it forever.

[roshanrai]

In the rain, Lars is on Fire...
What a performance..

[isaacdinesen]

I don't think anyone would realize this, but James is playing his most prized guitar in the pouring rain. This rustic looking guitar's name is Carl named after the street in California where they practiced for years. The band got the idea to dismantle the garage they used to practice in back in the day and bring it to their studio and reassemble it inside it. So they tried, but the garage had been torn down. Despite that the band decided to hold a reunion party on the property and someone who was an old friend came and said that he had kept some of the wood from the garage, so they took the wood from the very garage where they wrote Ride The Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and most notably Master of Puppets and built a very special guitar for the band. Carl is brought out and played with every performance of Master of Puppets no matter the weather which is remarkable to see considering the historical and sentimental significance of the instrument.

The fact they played this well in the rain is absolutely mindblowing

[DRTyD]

Their playing this in the rain like that is iconic. Fuckin incredible. Unphased. Looks cool coming off the drums.

[natural]

imagine being such legends that the singer can just pick up the microphone and trust the crowd to sing
