Honestly Metallica's Welcome Home Sanitarium live from 1989 from Seattle is still a classic performance to this day.

Start with the opening song Blackened and take the whole ride. This is the greatest metal band's greatest performance. Top 3 best concert videos out there. No need to skip a single song.

Live in Seattle '89 is considered one of the greatest Metallica lives. Another iconic Metallica's song is One, you should react it for the next

I was at this show, both nights. Totlly epic. This was the first time that I had been back to Seattle since my birth. I can not adequately experss the energy in that building for these shows. I swear you could have powered the city with it for an entire year. The band was about as perfect as you could get, everyone was "On" and in sync. James in particular was I think, at his peak. He seemed larger than life, almost intimidating and definitely held your attention. As others have said here, this was Metallica at their prime. I've seen them live 12 times and this show was all around the best.

You will never see a better band, from lead guitar, to rythym guitar, to the drums, to the bassist, than Metallica. They are the greatest band to step foot on a stage together. For tge haters, I have saw hundreds if bands, there is none quite like Metallica. When you buy a ticket to see Metallica, there is no doubt they will deliver. Best band to ever grace the planet

Creeping Death live in Moscow 91! Best live performance of that song. I still get goosebumps every time I watch it. You have to see it to believe it.

That's what Metallica fans call a ballad...

Metallica live in Moscow will blow your mind. The crowd size is insane 1.6

Metallica's original bassist, Cliff Burton (sadly died in a tour bus crash) was classically trained. Before his death he was mainly responsible for much of the structure found in the early (first 3) Metallica albums. I'm sure he taught the other band members much of what he was taught because the bands follow-up albums (And Justice for All, Black Album) retain much of their earlier style.

If you want chills, The Thing That Should Not Be from that same concert is insane.

Metallica reacts made me sub. I love seeing another music lover fall in love with Metallica. I have been a huge fan since Ride the Lightening came out in 1984. If you want to hear another side of his voice, check out "Nothing Else Matters" and "The Unforgiven". "Fade to Black" is another beautiful song and you will want to pay attention to the lyrics. It is an awesome journey to take following them through their musical growth and experience their different styles as they progress. I can't wait to follow you as you broaden your Metallica experience!

The headbanging will come naturally. I wouldn't start with the concert performances to be introduced to the songs, but if it's working for you, you do you. Loving your Metallica journey. It's a long and fruitful one. 🤘🤘

Keep going sweetheart!you’re gonna have so much fun. The more Metallica, you listen to the more, your eyes will be open, on how good this band actually is. Their longevity is second to none. Check out creeping death.

You should just react to this whole concert! Definitely worth your while!

She's hooked man like all of us were when we heard the first 4 albums, love to see it.

I love how moved you are to their music. I have been listening to this album since 1986 and it still gives me goosebumps. I love watching people experience their music for the first time and realize the sheer greatness of Metallica!

89 seatlle is just insane

Cliff Burton(R.I.P. 1986), was classically trained and Kirk Hammett is also a classically trained guitarist. He was also taught by Joe Satriani, considered by MANY to be a guitar GOD. Lars Ulrich is a self taught drummer. The bassist you see in this video, is Jason Newsted. He joined the band after Cliff's death, sadly left in 2001 because of turmoil within the band. 2003 saw the arrival of Robert Trujillo, known in metal circles for his work with Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves and did do some work with Ozzy Osbourne. James started on piano, but then started to play guitar at 14. Thanks to Aerosmith apparently. He met Lars in 1981 and the rest as they say is history. Hope this helps you in some way. Loved your reaction. Keep up the GREAT work! 🤘🤘🤘

I often describe Metallica as orchestrated, with every note carefully curated and perfectly placed... it's ironic that they've released two live albums recorded with the San Francisco Symphony...🤔😂 awesome reaction video!

Believe me when I say I've heard this version over a hundred of times and still get chills everytime. Surely one of their best songs in my opinion.

This live version never gets old, heard it so many times and still loving it. Good choice.

I was at this show in Seattle,I was 13 ,..what a KILLER! Memory!!!🔥🤘 Love your reactions Dear💖

absolutely loving your Metallica reactions please keep them coming!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

James looked so badass during this era. I guess it’s because that was when I first heard them. Justice was the first metal album I ever bought and it’s why I still listen to this day. The Black Album was the first new Metallica album to come out after I started listening to them.

KATHRYN, I LOVE THE WAY YOU'RE LOVING THESE GUYS!!! KEEP ROCKING AND ENJOYING!!! 🤘🏼🎶

This is Metallica at the absolute peak of their powers. Their next album turned them into global superstars. Please stick to the 80s and early 90s shows. They're still playing to this day, but they're in their 60s now, and it's not the same.

Awesome reaction! One thing.. the phrase "this is my favorite Metallica song" ... just prepare yourself to use that phrase a lot going through their songs lol. Been a huge huge fan for 15 years and I still can't settle for only 1 favorite song. Impossible.

This song was my door to Metallica; I'm glad that someone else likes it. . CLIFF 'EM ALL!

I've been a fan for 36yrs. It's always enjoyable to see people listening to and enjoying this great music for the first time. I like your style. Your reaction was fucking cool.

Seriously, as a fan of every single genre of music, this is probably the 3rd greatest live recording of all time. And it's also on film.

If you like this one, you should check out Fade To Black and One. They both follow a similar compositional structure to Sanitarium but are even better songs (in my humble opinion). The Unforgiven is another one I think you'd really like 🙂

Your making me both smile and cry. Been a fan of Metallica since they begun. LOVE when "new" ppl find them and yeah get reactions like you do

Love your genuine reactions. There are so many good songs from this band🙂

You're quickly becoming a metalhead and I love your completely unhinged reactions! Keep listening to these bands, you're just at the beginning of your journey!

I was at this concert and it absolutely rocked... lol. To be 19 years old again

The entire Seattle '89 show is, to this day, one of the most savage metal performances I've ever seen.

Glad ya listened to this version it’s the best IMO. PS I never see the goosebumps when people show but I saw yours haha. This is epic concert, every single song

Makes me so happy to enjoy the music from metallica! This band has followed me my whole life! Love to see that you enjoyed it!🤘😎🤘

You need too react to Creeping Death by Metallica live in Moscow 1991 there performance is unbelievable. So much energy and power.

Hey Kathryn, it’s also worth focusing on the lyrics. James Hetfield is one of the best lyricists. Can you also react to “One”. Would be awesome if you can react to the official video. And i’d like to recommend another fantastic band, Nightwish. You will absolutely love them, female singer and Symphonic Metal. Check out the song “Ghost Love Score” live at Wacken Open Air 2013. ❤

I love live performances of any band / artist - to see them actually perform - so i'm glad that you are including a lot of live performances in your reactions - if you have the time - go back and listen to the studio versions also - that way you get the best of both worlds. Thanks for this one.

One of my fav Metallica songs ever. Great performance! Keep the metal reactions coming. More Metallica, more Tool, just MOAR!

Every note has its place, yep and there are many more bands who have that magic in their performances. Another goldie from the 80s is Helloween and their classic keeper of the seven keys, Genre defining live pumpkins united tour is a great video where you get to see an 1980s song performed 30+years later by all former and current singers. Lots of great emotions and voices!

Saw them live back them . Had chills then and once again now watching you react . Enjoy the ride

Please keep making videos I've watched all of them and it really brightens my day

I am glad you are having fun with this.. I love watching people discover the music that I grew up with.. Good luck with your next choice.

I think you’re ready for “one” from the … and justice for all album. Their first actual music video is amazing adding the movie elements that inspired the song with clips from “Johnny got his gun” but to see them play it live in person is breath taking.

I have to say Being a Metallica fan since the 80's Welcome Home "Sanitarium" has to one of my top 5 favorite Metallica songs of all time. This is an epic performance of this Song!

Welcome to the family, you are officially a Metalhead now! I subscribe and waiting for your next reaction! Greetings from Munich, Germany! 🤘🏻

Love that you're digging Metallica. Try the official music video for "One"

Check out Fade to Black from the same live Seattle '89 concert I think it would definitely be another top favorite of yours 👍

Please start from the beginning (Blackened) and react to this entire concert - it's GOAT status🤘. Cheers!

The and justice for all was insane !!! I seen them many times in the 80z. And justice for all your footage still gives me chills !!! Metallica in their prime. ..🤘♥️🤘

Well I thought Sanitarium Live in seattle '89 was my personal well kept secret for decades now, but I'm glad to see this being shared. This is the best live performance they ever recorded, Imagine being there. Great video Kathryn keep up the great work it's obvious you have great taste for true artist.

best concerts ive ever been to

I grew up listening to these guys I know getting goose bumps WELCOME to the music. I cant believe. Its been. 20 years I saw them in Toronto ( Summer Sanitarium) in 2003 Awesome performance

I have seen Metallica 4 times and they are the best outside concert band I have heard.

Love the energy Kat brings during a reaction, it is infectious. She says this is her favorite song, wonder if that will hold up after she watches and hears "One" with the video. Be well everyone.

Seattle 89...my #1 favorite @Metallica concert of all time. I can only imagine how incredible it must’ve been to be there. No stupid phones to distract you...then gettin the whole concert in remastered audio and video. Such a blessing and gift from the Greatest f**kin band of all time.

"grabs it like its nothin" perfect description of James performance!

You’re great! Love your reactions

I was at this concert!! It was my senior year. Soooo effing RAD!!

Saw them in '89 in Minneapolis...will never forget it

I really love all your Metallica reactions so far

To quote Samuel L. Jackson "English m.f'er do you speak it". I am totally kidding. I just think it is awesome to witness somebody experiencing Metallica to such a level they are finding it difficult to express their emotions properly 👍

Mine too. "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "The Unforgiven" are my favorite Metallica songs since 1992.^^

I know you already reacted to Battery, but they play Battery in this show too, and it is absolutely brutal. Definitely worth seeing.

One of my favorite songs since I first heard it forever ago.

Great choice - incredible concert - not at that one but saw them with cliff in 86 and a couple dozen times since . Most recently last summer in Pittsburgh I’m sure it been said - Fade to Black … Best experience in Pittsburgh- I brought my son - incredible show - best thing was seeing James - shoes over fireworks are going - he turns to watch leaning in his guitar neck down- and he seemed to be filled with gratitude- they all showed it - they always have been very fan appreciative and believe in the Metallica family - Great to see new fans - new album coming in April- so far sounds great

I don't have to imagine. I was going to these shows in the 80s and 90s. Yeah, I'm old. lol

First, love your reactions! Second, everyone that thinks she needs to listen to "One" next like this comment! The lyrics only video is what you want, initially... watch the official music video later for a separate reaction! 👍 Otherwise, it may be sensory overload trying to take it all in the first go around. It is from the album "...and justice for all" and many feel it is musically their best WRITTEN album.

Amazing song

Metallica = Chills, Metallica is the light in our hearts!

For Whom the Bells Toll is possibly my fav

I love your full body and soul reactions. 🤘

Do For Whom The Bell Tolls from the same concert. Then check out the band Lovebites and their new song Judgment Day. It's metal perfection.

Hi, you were down from the beginner. I love your reaction. Welcome to Metallica fan base. . Bit,but you didn't throw your devil horns! You are an amazing individual, thanks for sharing! 🤟💪👍 metal on!

I love how someone loves this song as much as me. I thought I was the only one who liked this track

There's no shortage of Metallica songs you need to react to. One, Disposable Heroes, Fade to Black, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Dyer's Eve, Orion, To Live is to Die, Seek & Destroy, Bleeding Me, Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The Outlaw Torn etc.

Just found your Chanel. You just scratched the surface! So much more to go. For Whom the Bell Tolls & Creeping Death - both in Moscow should be next on your list.

also my favourite metallica song. 🙂 this was the first CD i bought. i had a cassette copy of master of puppets from a friend, because that's the way it was in those days, and loved very minute of it. i played that tape to death. it's crazy to think that they didn't make amusic video until their fourth album, and had zero radio airplay, but were huge through live shows and people sharing the copies of the tapes.

I used to head this one (in all versions) so much. Hard song. Rough song. Great song.

I don't if this is your first true exposure to Metallica but very interesting to start it off with the 89 Seattle concert! Very unreal power during this concert! I like the 92 San Diego concert more this 89 as of terms of sound. Fade to black and One are probably going to be you're next two favorite songs from them! :) If you do any reactions to the 92 San Diego concert, then I can wait for you to hear the unforgiven, whether it be the live version or the music video!

my favorite song as well

Just wanna first give compliments about your reaction, as I like it that you do feel music and react naturally to it. specially METALLICA songs which undoubtedly are the greatest of all. and then want to tell you that listen to "Blackened", also from the same live show and listen to the timing of the music which constantly changes and the genius Lars and James, who composed a very tricky song both to listen AND to play! Keep Going Kathryn and welcome to the awesome world of METALLICA

Yeah they killed it!

Metallica in their prime! I actually went to the '89 AND JUSTICE FOR ALL tour, but I was in Florida not Seattle. It was the same show and still the most energetic, crazy most fun I ever had. Women were literally taking their clothes off and throwing them on stage

Glad you took a listen to this. In 1987 I stole my older brothers cassette player, and it had a Metallica cassette in it. I HIT PLAY... first song I ever heard by them was Sanitarium(welcome home). I was 13 years old. I have since seen them 14 or so times live, and their music has been a background soundtrack in my life. Their music is pure F'ing energy and emotion! My business is in a very high liability, stress filled industry, and nothing compares to coming home, pouring a bourbon and turning on some "metal up your ass" ... or some Johnny Cash!! You've opened a door that i imagine you might not be able to close, or at least I hope! Enjoy, as it is truly worth it!!!

Cool reaction This Song means A lot to me

This whole concert is AWESOME. react to every song on this concert. Then listen to the original.....you will be blown away. Next on is BLACKENED

Yep i've heard Metallica's songs hundreds of time and i agree this is in the top 50 Metallica songs. Like Led Zeppelin, they don't have bad songs. Metallica are musical geniuses and yes they know how to compose music. Their change-ups, repetition and build up in every song are just brilliant. I could watch you react to Metallica all day...i love how excited you get by the music changes each song gives you, and i'm guessing you've been surprised by the musical talent and variety of this group. Metallica's music is built to appeal to the angst of male teens so i love too see young women discovering their musicianship. You go girl!

Agree with other comments, you could honestly just do this entire show, it’s insane. Creeping Death and Four Horseman would be my next recommendation. Another excellent reaction! The head banging will come naturally 😂 Oh and I’ll try and give you a bit of insight on the band!: In these Seattle ‘89 clips, it’s: Rhythm Guitar/Vocal: James Hetfield - He and Lars, the drummer, are the founding members. Writes the songs and is an all around legend. Had a rough childhood and harnessed that energy into creating one of the best band in the world (imo). Also famous for his insane rhythm down-picking and general leadership in the band. Drummer: Lars - Founding member with James. Travelled from Europe in his teens as a pro tennis player. Ended up staying California to start a band. Had no idea how to play drums when he started the band lol. Became a big part of Metallica’s commercial success and the arrangement of their songs. In the 80’s and 90’s he was a monster drummer, but he is considered a little bit of a meme now as he can be a little lazy. He’s a bit of a character but I like him lol. Bass: Jason Newsted - personal favourite member of Metallica. Played every single show at 110%. Amazing backing vocals and stage presence. Heavy af. He makes Creeping Death (my favourite song) 10x better. He joined the band in ‘86 after their original bassist, Cliff Burton ,died in a tour-bus crash while they were on tour. He left in 2003 because James wouldn’t let him work on his own personal side project, Echobrain. Guitar: Kirk Hammett, some of the best written solos ever imo. Ride the Lightning is my favourite solo. Joined in ‘83 after James and Lars kicked out original guitarist Dave Mustaine (who would go on to found one of the other biggest thrash bands in Megadeth (check out the song Holy Wars…). Members not in this video: Ron McGovney - technically the first bassist, but never recorded anything in the studio with them. Cliff Burton: widely considered the original bassist. Absolute legend in his own right, but passed in ‘86 as I mentioned. Check out their ‘85 Day on the Green - For Whom the Bell Tolls performance to see him in action. At times he shreds/plays his bass like a guitar. Huge distortion and very unique style. Dave Mustaine: original guitarist, founded Megadeth as I mentioned. Was an alcoholic and left with a lot of resentment. It’s a long story. They’ve mostly rekindled now, but the two bands have never really been on great terms lol. Rob Trujillo - replaced Jason after he left. I’m not really into anything they’ve done since the Black album (‘94) so I don’t listen to their newer stuff and as such don’t really listen to Rob. Can’t say much about him.

I would love to watch you react to “Enter Sandman” from their 1991 performance in Moscow. 1.6 million people in attendance! The energy is off the charts!! 🤘🏼

From Metallica, check out Creeping Death live in Moscow I also recommend Ghost Love Score by finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish

Yeah.... That´s why Metallica is what it is. I bought this album in 1987 here in Argentina when i was on holidays. I almost couldn´t sleep because of it. These master pieces albums are ageless.

one of the greatest songs of all time. Cheers from Italy

Legends.. rulers of the world the last 40 years!! James didnt want to sing but they had no one else.. look up some kill em all stuff from the early 80's you're Reaction was fkn gorgeous by the way!!

I love watching newbs reaction to the greatest band of all time! Welcome Home my friend!!🔥

Totally agree with Justin(top comment). ALOT of thought goes into the placement of tracks on an album, especially the great ones! Just press play- close yer eyes- clear the mind of any thoughts or expectations and just let the music take you for a ride. FEEL the journey as intended, dont over analyze it or pick it all apart.. just ENJOY their creation and react to how it makes you feel in the moment. Trying to find or explain what you think is the meaning of it all (ESPECIALLY right in the middle of a great song) completely derails the connection and feelings of a shared experience. and THAT is what I believe it is most important and ultimately what it’s really all about. 🤘🏼💃🕺😘

The bassist, Cliff, was classically trained yes :)
