1ST LISTEN TO METALLICA - ENTER THE SANDMAN IN MOSCOW - BRUH THERE WAS A SEA OF PEOPLE! - REACTION

"If you start crowd surfing in Russia On Moscow concert 1991, you would end up in Ukraine" - ancient legend edit - Wow this comment aged against my expectations

James: "How many tickets did we manage to sell?" Lars: "Russia"

This was the 1st EVER concert after the Fall of the Soviet Union. Some of those people could only hear them on Bootleg tracks. This literallyu was a world changing moment.

This concert was a celebration of freedom!!! I'm from America and was 28 when the Iron Curtain fell and I cried for days. My dad used to guard the Brendenburg Gate(West German side) in the 1950s and hated his job with a passion.He died from cancer in September of 1988,so he never got to know about those liberating times. RIP Dad and to Everyone,everywhere who had to deal with the dark times and didn't get a chance to see better days.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕With Love from America.

Fun Fact: 1.6M is when they stopped counting ;) it propably reached 2M

There are people still stuck in traffic coming home

This was one of the greatest moments in history. the whole thing was about freedom

i remember after the fall of the USSR I got my first audio tape recorder. My grandma gave me some money as a gift and I went and bought an audio cassette with Metallica. It had "...and justice for all" on the one side and "Master of Puppets" on the other side. That night was sleepless night! Oh boy, this 14 years old Soviet kid was listening over and over again under the blanket his first Metallica music! It was mesmerizing! It was new! It used to be forbidden and now you can listen to it! On the other hand my friends, I think it's not ever, yet! I think Putin (KGB) want's to regain control not only over former republics and take away their freedom, but take more, it it's possible. Now, I've been American for a while now. Once thing that always stick in my mind is a car sticker which I first saw in America that touched my heart, "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!" Let's cherish our freedom and remind our government - You are not our Daddy!!!

Drake, " 40 000 attended my concert, .. Metallica, " Our support and security crew in Russia was bigger than that"

"MFs can't even get 1.6 million in album sales" That shit did hit different

To be fair, this was not an Metallica concert exclusively, this was the Monsters of Rock Festival, with other bands like EST (russian band), The black Crowes, Pantera, Metallica and AC/DC headlining the festival. Anyway, one of the most craziest Festivals ever, in a crazy time, just a few months after USSR disappearance.

I saw a comment once ill have to steal... "the Germans sent armies to bring peace to Russia, America sent 4 dudes with long hair"

That helicopter flying about 75 ft over the crowd is just as metal as Sandman.

Even in crowds this big there were rules you followed to keep everyone safe. If someone was in trouble you helped. When we went to concerts you watched everyone around you not just the people you came with. If something got started we stopped it. We all kept each other safe. Which is why we don't understand people getting killed at one of today's mini concerts. Music today is nothing compared to music then and no nobody was killed during this concert.

I know this is an older reaction but I couldn't imagine the feeling Metallica had seeing so many fans and from a whole other country had to be one the most proud best feeling for them and they definitely should have their legends

Modern day performers: “I SOLD OUT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! WHAT YALL KNOW ABOUT THAT?!!” Metallica: “..........cool story bro.”

I was a 16yo boy in the soviet bloc at that time, it was a historic moment. There's no other drug like freedom. I love watching reactions to this, and how most of the people reacting don't even understand the significance of what they're watching at the moment. :D

I’m a Metallica fan since the 80s but seeing this crowd is always nuts

In 1994 Rod Stewart had a New Year's Eve concert at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro where 4.2 million people attended and the concert was free.

There were more people attending this concert than Iceland's population
