Anybody with depression can relate and fully appreciate this song. When I am feeling really depressed I somehow find my way to this some and it makes me feel better. Thank you Metallica for this kick ass song. The acoustical beginning is so damn powerful.

What a great performance. I can't believe this song is over 30 years old, truly a timeless masterpiece!

5:46 love Kirk’s smile when he sees the audience vocalizing to the guitar. Such a beautiful moment

My Husband always liked this song. Rip. M.J.

Holy fuck; Lars and Kirk have been practicing

I love when Kirk looks up to them all singing his riff and he smiles 5:47

5:44 that smile is genuinely legendary

I'm 52 years old now, A life long fan! I remember listening to this so many times in my 1985 Z-28 on a top of the line cassette in my old Pioneer Super Tuner, heading to the Monsters of Rock, "I think it was the summer of 1988" to see them at a place called Foxboro stadium, near Boston Ma.

Who in their right mind could possibly dislike this masterpiece???

Can't describe how much I love METALLICA

All of us grow All of us getting older and older And all of us will eventually die. But the legacy that this band will leave behind is a tremendus gift for mankind.. Thank you Metallica!!

*Fade to black coming to an end* Kirk: *WAH WAH time*!!

when life ends I want this song playing

These guys have the coolest jobs. Imagine a life where you get to stand around playing Metallica songs for a living. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Bye...

0% sex 0% nudity 0% drugs 0% dancing with girls 100% talent

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

this is just plain badass.

James voice definitely fits this song better in his older age

i love how he started with call of Ktuhulu

Lars's double bass at the end actually sounds really good!

Kirk's guitar is so damn beautiful...

When Kirk started playing, I got emotional. Wiping tears away.

This show was my first Metallica concert, and I’ll never forget the 4 and a half hour drive there and back just to see it ❤️

Kirk is killing it!!!

I love how Kirk isn’t a drug addict or alcoholic but a wah addict or wahcoholic

Kirk Hammit is the most underrated guitarist of all time!

One of the best performance of Fade To Black.

The first solo alone is better than most of the artists nowadays

Kirk has been sounding fucking great lately!!!!!!!! His playing AND his lead guitar tone!!! Great job on this song fellas!

I’m going to see them live before I die

i grew up with metallica since i was 6 yo, now i'm almost 18 and listening to them is like a comforting and heartwarming hug. They will always shine bright

Simply amazing how swiftly flawless James switches from acoustic to electric and back. Without missing the beat or a note. That's how good these guys are.

The genuine look on kirks face when the crowd sings along with the guitars

James is an amazing song writer and musician, this is one of his greatest and Kirk always shines on it. Hands down the best live version! You can really tell this is one of their favorites to play!

This concert was in support of a wonderful charity here in Toronto, The Daily Bread Food Bank. Despite being in the middle of a world tour, they kindly dropped in on our city to play for free, giving all proceeds to help folks in need. They didn't even mention this in the video description! Thank you Metallica, you are a true class act!!

This is probably the best performance of this song since the 80's

I love Metallica and the fact that they can still nail a song like Fade To Black blows my mind! 🤘

I was 11 when I first heard this song. I am 27 now. The intro still sends shivers down my spine.

I think everyone will be able to connect with these lyrics at some point in their life . The song is an emotional rollercoaster. I love how it builds up towards the end the the solo just gets me every time. It's my favorite Metallica song.

The Intro is the call of ktulu

i will not get tired of listening to that special voice of his no matter it happens

My younger brother introduced me to Metallica. Thanks for that Jim RIP Big man.

They're tighter than ever unbelievable.

Having bipolar depression , I have a love/hate relationship with this song. Although it always HURTS to listen to this , I will never turn it. If nothing else , it shows me I am not alone. Even though I am lonely . This is METALLICA.... This one song is better than their past 3 albums put together. But I still love them...Old Metallica was the soundtrack of my youth ! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Metallica brought me into making music and is still a source of limitless inspiration to me these days

The call of guitar wakes me up middle of the night, I was lost in a dark space unexplained to myself at this point ,The past is fading away .All is left is the hope in the darkness to set me free .Set me free SET ME FREE!!!

Amazing! My favorite Metallica song!

1:39 the moment i got tears and feel the power of music.. Metallica, thank you!

YOU KNOW THIS IS THE BEST SONG TO GET A CONCERT OUT OF 7.. FOR REAL. FOR REAL. PEACE AND ROCK AND ROLL.

5:46 that smile is priceless. I just love Metallica

This was by far the best performance Metallica has ever done. The solos were executed perfectly by Kirk, with an incredible amount of emotion and pain. James Hetfield's vocals sound better than they have in a long time, and Lars isn't doing stupid random fills, and his double bass sounded fantastic. I swear they have gotten much better with age, I can safely say this is probably better than the studio version.

Always love the solo of this song.. Invokes all kind of feels...

One of the most beautiful songs ever

It's so amazing how much passion they still have

this song is so beautiful and full of soul and meaning i cry every time

They played so good. James did the intro fantastically, Kirk did the solo with no mistake, Lars with his drumming and especially his footwork during the double bass part were very good and audible, and for last Rob was excellent, as usual. You still rock! \m/

Every versión of Fade to black is special.

If I could give eternal life to two people, one if them would be James so we could have concerts like this foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

The more they hated kirk the more i admire him as a musician..

Great performance by Lars!!

For me, the best song of Metallica.

Best performance of my first and favourite Metallica song , Goat played by the goat . It literally ascends you to heaven . Love you Metallica for serving humanity with the most pristine music for almost half a century .

4:42 Kirk dropped his pick :D

Damn, this was fucking amazing. Wish I'd been there.

I just recently told my teenage daughter I might be old but we had the best musicians back then and still today! I just watched the 1983 show they were so young then! And hell still fine and still rocking!

3:15 I love this part

I love Kirk's guitar. And I know it's not the "original" solo but I absolutely love his solo here. They were all incredible.

love the way kirk smile before the solo😀

This! Is is my favorite Metallica song..I grew up in the "Enter sandman" area. But this song one is the best.. and in my humble opinion, I haven't heard a version that I could enjoy as much as the record version. But,, they did it here.

Kirk's the only one who looks so handsome while playing guitar I love his style!!

Lars' double bass actually sounds great, Kirk isn't drunk and plays better than he has in years, James' voice sound awesome and I can finally hear that fat bass sound from Rob? I guess Metallica is finally back...

Life it seems to fade away Drifting further everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me but now, he's

Wonderfull intro 🥰 💕👍

The introduction and first couple minutes of this song very emotional and has to be one of the greatest of all time!

I just can't believe the sound difference at this theater compared to other places. Sounds soooo bold and sweet!

5:55 Love how Kirk Hammett plays every single note

I loved this concert. I went to watch this very concert and now I look at the video of 5 years ago and it gives me nostalgia. But happiness as well because watching the playing live. Was my dream ✨

Ive never seen this live version but when i heard the opening acoustic and the crowd going wild i cried from how amazing it sounds. Also because depression is very hard for many people including me so this song imo is the goat of metal songs

The best band metall!!!! Yeeeeaaaaaa

4:04 James's voice style and Kirks improvisations are amazing here!

Tenho 62 anos, e sempre curti rock desde os sete anos e vou sempre curtir

Timeless masterpiece 👍👌 Still banging heads and be so emotional even all those years.. Thank You Metallica 🤘

i siting now in North germany and i must cry that song was the favorite song from my mother she is died for 4 days ago she was 54 my world is broken

Minha musica preferida do Metallica e a melhor perfomance ao vivo na minha opinião! Abraços daqui de Brasília.

What a show! fabulous, absolutely love this and I am new to Metallica, WOW. Thanks guys.

Hi Metallica, I'm now 40, i discovered your music when i was just 14 and it still sounds amazing, keep up the legendary work :D

This is the best fade to black's perfomance i've ever seen. They all were perfect

I remember this concert. They played One after Fade to Black and James started to play the intro to Fade to Black during the One intro; he had to start over again, which was all good.

Everything I need a good cry this is the song I love METALLICA THANK U SO MUCH FOR BEING AWSOME N SAVING MY LIFE COUNTLESS TIMES

This is freaking awesome! Wish I was there. Metallica is just so killer. Love the new album. Fantastic.

Is it just me or is Kirk ON FIRE with this one!?!?! This is the best I've heard him in a long time and gave me goosebumps. LOVE IT!!!

My heart is blowing while I hear this song!!! Love for metallica!
