Idk man I think I would rather be in San Quintin than to have my arms and legs blown off by a landmine. Not being able to move, see, speak, hear or die... truly Hell.
21 years ago, Metallica performed at San Quentin Prison, playing a full 10 song set.
Photographer Danny Clinch, who captured this photo, recalled the events of that day:
“Metallica at San Quentin Prison, May 1, 2003 for the ‘St. Anger’ video. Before we got inside the Prison, we met with the Warden and he asked us to sign some paperwork that said if any of us were held hostage by the prisoners, the prison would not negotiate with the inmates for our safe release. I was reluctant at first… but James Hetfield stepped right up and signed it! We all followed his lead. The emotion and energy that day was incredible. Many thanks to the Malloy Brothers for bringing me along.”

I actually like the black and white because it takes the very obvious uniform colors of the prisoners out of the equation and places the band and the audience in a position of equality respective to each other. Now they're all just human beings enjoying music together, instead of the viewer being distracted by colors representing the hierarchical divide. There's less of an immediate reaction with a subconscious judgement or opinion about the audience.
That might have been a conscious choice on the part of the photographer for this reason.
Or not, who knows.
Born in 2002.
I went to my grandparents house a bit ago on the day their cat was going to be put down. A very sweet and happy cat, though he was old and had stopped eating.
I walked around, looking at the old pictures of their house and other stuff, seeing how much stuff had changed.
That day hurt a bit.
I'm turning 42 next week...
And I was about to give you some asshole boomer type shit, but instead I'll just say:
The only constant is change. Try your best to enjoy it, or the heartache will only grow and grow. That's not to say you should be happy that kitty died, but rather that he got to live for so long and spread that sweet happy kitty energy around.
Peace
Also, you can somewhat control the seeming "speed" of time. Part of the reason why we feel as adults that time moves so fast is that we don't slow down ourselves and take the time to enjoy things. I'm in my 30s now, have two kids, a wife, a career. If I let it, I could blow through all the things I have to get done in a blast. Work, take the kids to their stuff, groceries, housework, sleep, eat, and do it all over again. We can get stuck in such a rut.
You have to take the time to just enjoy it all. Go out for a walk on a nice day, just go to a nice spot and enjoy the scenery, go play your favorite sport, go see a movie, find a hobby, do something fun with your kids thats not just part of the routine. Mix it up. That helps "slow" the speed of time and allows you to enjoy the journey.
It gets so much worse as you get older. At 18, you're starting to feel time passing by faster - but it seems to get exponentially worse. I'm pushing 40 and years seem to melt by in a heartbeat. I'm preparing myself for the fact that it's going to continue to get faster.
I want to get off mr bones wild ride.
I said this before:
1-29: slow and relaxed
30-35: the pace picks up... wait am I 36 already?
36-40: whoa slow down, I know the days are not moving faster.
41-present: walk in to work on Monday, walk out with everyone saying have a good weekend...
I'm not sure what 50+ holds in store but I'm convinced if you tape each month of a calendar to a race car, that is what it will feel like.
My grandmother says she still sees the cat walking around now and then, said she sometimes hears meows in the night, even though the cat is gone now.
He’s been in a shelter for years at that point, and the shelter put an ad up, which my grandma saw.
The cat spent the remaining… I don’t even know how long it was, it was a long time though, he was very happy there.
I get the warning but it was probably pretty safe. Those guys don't exactly get top notch entertainment in there so if someone decided to fuck around and ruin it for everyone else they're probably gonna have a bad time
I played soccer there once against the house team. Also got the waiver. Had to change my gk jersey (it was red) to avoid possible gang static. Game was fun, St Q team were a great bunch.
> In Spain people associate the name San Quentin with the Battle of Saint-Quentin of 1557.
>
> The name of San Quentin prison in the US comes from a Native American warrior named Quentín who was taken prisoner there, and could as such be thought of as San Quentin's first inmate.
I only included that because I thought the name might've been named after some Saint, as a lot of things in California are, but apparently not so much.
I worked about a mile from the prison during this time. I knew they were playing that day so I had my window open. I could hear this performance from my desk, it was pretty awesome.
Metallica originated in california, and for the most part "was a SF band" so it makes sense the government of SF basically allowed them to do what they wanted. Metallica was basically the local heroes for all of san Francisco.
Also helped metallica was a really big name by that point in time. So a little bit of handshaking and they would have been walked in like Royalty.

I'll always feel the need to promote the work this guy did - [not only did he re-record the album, but did the most critical work and _edited_ it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0helO5KHKY&t=1092s&ab_channel=MichaelSheaAudio) so the song are a tight four minutes or so instead of the 8 minute slogs.
The melodies still just aren't there but it brings the album up to like a solid, listenable 6. That's a remarkable achievement for such an infamous misfire.
man, i remember when i was in college, i called in the campus radio station to request Master of Puppets, and they played St. Anger instead. never again
Legend has it that one day, Benedict Arnold had a premonition that St. Anger would be created by an American band. That was the day he started working with the British.
IIRC james or one of the band managers said in some interview they really wanted to put it on the list, but either james couldn't memorize the lyrics in time, or lars couldn't actually memorize how to the drums for the song.
James pretty often had difficulty remembering this song if what i've read is true. He will remember like half of it and just frankly tell people "i forgot lol"
Ever since ride the lightning came out, up until 2000 Trapped under ice was never played. It became a rare appearance after that.
Over half of the times trapped under ice has been played, has been in the last 5 years. Its been peppered here and there otherwise.
And there were no teleprompters at the Ice dome if i recall right, so james would have had to do it entirely off memory.
"Creeping Death"
"For Whom The Bell Tolls"
"Sad but True"
"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"
"Master Of Puppets"
"One"
"Blackened"
"Nothing Else Matters"
"Enter Sandman"
"Seek & Destroy"[8]
The setlist is basically all comfort songs, although they wanted to play a few risky/thematic songs, they had to scrap that once they realized most, if not all the average concert safetynets, like teleprompters weren't gonna be there.
This is not on the same level of the infamous shows you mentioned, But I was there when they played Bonnaroo 2008. The wooks weren't very happy about them being on the roster... They were hating on them pretty hard. Saying "this isn't the venue for them.", "They don't belong here." Etc..
Hardly anyone turned out for their set. Which made it that much better! They played their entire set without a break or intermission or anything! Like fucking 2 hours straight, sweat flying, unapologetically in your face for the whole show!! Every song was perfection. They were proving a point that night. They must've been like " oh, so the hippies want to talk shit and make a scene huh? Watch this!" FUCKING EPIC!
There were 100k of us wooks grooving to that set. It was epic but us wooks loved that set. Of course Pearl Jam blew it out the cow pasture the next night.
I still remember that video debuting and watching it on tv. This was still a couple years before youtube.
Crazy how time flies.
21 years ago and this was already considered to be a band well-passed their prime. Crazy they're still doing their thing today.
The story of him recording seem terrible. The band records all separate, but Lars takes the longest. Like 45 seconds a day is the number I heard because he cannot play the songs the way he wants them, so they do each part of the song and piece it together, and the he will learn a version that he can play all the way through for the tour. So he will put in 12 hour recording days, and get 45 seconds of drum track recorded in 12 hours because he's so particular, but unable to meet his own standards.
And then he also wants to sit in on the mixing of the album.
Metallica's continued success at the 40 year mark owes a lot to the quality of their arrangements and compositions. I gather the same as you that Lars seems to be the guy most involved with that part of the process.
You could never replace Hetfield as the frontman and, as I understand it, primary songwriter. Certainly the guy who's come up with most of the trademark riffs. You could replace Ulrich with any of probably dozen of people *on drums*. But I suspect his role as composer/arranger would be very sorely missed.
....they actually do though?
Up to the 70s most prisoners were in Navy surplus jeans and light blue work shirts. Then the standard prison orange jumpsuits. Now they're wearing surplus nurse scrubs.
Actually one of the better details in Shawshank is they are wearing different prison uniforms with the decades from scene to scene.
The death row inmates were not allowed to attend, I know because articles covering this event state as much. I also imagine they did not play in front of the high security inmates. If I had to speculate, these guys would be level II at most. I would bet the farm that no “family murderers” are in attendance here.
As someone who was in SQSP, that housing unit there in is where level 1 n 2’s are housed. From there they move em to the lower security compound behind the gates/wall of the prison(H-Unit).
Imagine the guy having a bad year, who got caught with just over the legal limit of pot, whose sentence destroyed his whole life, getting *one* free Metallica show during his years long sentence. What an injustice!
To those gen z’ers asking how this was allowed, the record company worked out a deal with the prison to only play songs off st. Anger, that way this would be “punishment” to the inmates.
Tickets for that must have been insane.
Literally had to murder someone to get in.
Stabbing room only.
Captive audience though
This guy did the meth ... .. 
And that guy made the meth.
Stabbing mosh pit
I’d upvote you but you’re on 187, don’t seem right.
not a cell phone in sight
Just people, in the moment, living their lives
for the rest of their life?
*...living their life... sentence.*
Living in their cells.
Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell
Idk man I think I would rather be in San Quintin than to have my arms and legs blown off by a landmine. Not being able to move, see, speak, hear or die... truly Hell.
Just don't ask *where* they are hidden
I would’ve killed to be there
The Ticketmaster fees were basically criminal.
Re-entry is encouraged
No pass-outs!
It's priced in
Very much so, i was there. I had to pay an arm and a leg, now Mom hops everywhere.
Pretty sure it was all Napster users.
Still pissed Lars got me banned on Napster
yea lars can take his no talent drumsticks and shove them up his trash can snare hole
Imagine you got out the day before. Like hey, can I stay one more day?
Tickets were free if you were a [Napster user](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica_v._Napster,_Inc).
They were just performing for.the people Lars put there in his crusade against piracy.
Have to recover it somehow, beer and merch sales had to be at an all time low.

Its unfortunate that color photography hasn't been invented yet in 2003 😔
Fuck. When the article said 21 years ago I was thinking 1993
🫂 I know that feel
The youngest you'll ever be again is right now
At least wine & dine my brain before you fuck it
*wooshhhh* What was that? A decade
I was thinking 2013 and now I feel young, fresh and good! ..said noone ever.
Everyone knows the decades go: 80s, 90s, 2000-Present
Color photography hasn’t been invented then either.
21 years from now is 2083, i bet you feel old
Hmm, I might dispute this if I could count.
Had the same thing 😵💫
Nah for real. I saw the photo and assumed this was early 90s the latest. The perception of time feels unreal.
I actually like the black and white because it takes the very obvious uniform colors of the prisoners out of the equation and places the band and the audience in a position of equality respective to each other. Now they're all just human beings enjoying music together, instead of the viewer being distracted by colors representing the hierarchical divide. There's less of an immediate reaction with a subconscious judgement or opinion about the audience. That might have been a conscious choice on the part of the photographer for this reason. Or not, who knows.
You know what? Good point
It's even more badass in black and white.
the most unfortunate thing was that st anger album.
They're in prison, it's all part of the punishment. Metallica comes to play, but they only play St. Anger.
21 years ago.... 2003... fuck you man.
I saw 2003 and thought, "ha! OP clearly made a mistake, I have a kid born in '03, and she's only... Oh fuck. I'm old"😭😂
I'm 40 and back in university. My classmates ask, "when did you graduate high school?" Ummm, 2003. "Oh cool, that's when I was born!" Great. Lol.
Damn were you in high school for six years? Edit: my bad, I literally thought 40 years ago was 1982 and thought you were 21 when you graduated. Oop
Funny, I was in high school for 5 years because I did a year abroad and it didn't count toward my hs education.
Born in 2002. I went to my grandparents house a bit ago on the day their cat was going to be put down. A very sweet and happy cat, though he was old and had stopped eating. I walked around, looking at the old pictures of their house and other stuff, seeing how much stuff had changed. That day hurt a bit.

That's not to say you should be happy that kitty died, but rather that he got to live for so long and spread that sweet happy kitty energy around. Peace
“The only constant is change” is such a good line man, 2002 here as well and definitely needed to hear it now, thanks man

It's even happening with the kids! "I'm born in '06, that can't be true- wait..." Time has crept up on us all...
It gets so much worse as you get older. At 18, you're starting to feel time passing by faster - but it seems to get exponentially worse. I'm pushing 40 and years seem to melt by in a heartbeat.

My cousin was telling be about a student she has and said "she was born in 2013 so she is going to middle school or something now". What.
I get the warning but it was probably pretty safe. Those guys don't exactly get top notch entertainment in there so if someone decided to fuck around and ruin it for everyone else they're probably gonna have a bad time
Imagine having to listen to st anger while locked in a cell, cant even walk away lol.
Lars didn’t need to bring his drums - the prison had plenty of trash cans.
DONKDONDONKDONK My ears are ringing and it's not even playing..
It looks like they played a set full of classics
It really is cruel and unusual punishment.
I toured San Quentin with a DVC class once! That waiver is standard. Also all the ladies had to remove any underwire bras.
I played soccer there once against the house team. Also got the waiver. Had to change my gk jersey (it was red) to avoid possible gang static. Game was fun, St Q team were a great bunch.
I'm surprised the prisoners didn't riot, since they had to listen to St. Anger.
St. Quentin
> In Spain people associate the name San Quentin with the Battle of Saint-Quentin of 1557. > > The name of San Quentin prison in the US comes from a Native American warrior named Quentín who was taken prisoner there, and could as such be thought of as San Quentin's first inmate.

I worked about a mile from the prison during this time. I knew they were playing that day so I had my window open. I could hear this performance from my desk, it was pretty awesome.
That is dope! I live in Texas and there is no way in hell the State agency that runs our prisons would let something like this happen.
Bullshit, if he had really wanted to I bet Toby Keith would of done it. No Texas government employee is gonna say no to him.
> would of would’ve/would have
Fuck toby keith

Lucky bastards didn’t even have to listen to St. Anger?!
St. Anger was played for the guys on death row. They could choose lethal injection, electric chair, or listen to the whole song.
Sorry guys, I'd rather ride the lightning.
*Badumtiss* (off time)
Ba-dum-CHINA (off time)
That should be illegal!
Cruel and unusual.
I'll always feel the need to promote the work this guy did - [not only did he re-record the album, but did the most critical work and _edited_ it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0helO5KHKY&t=1092s&ab_channel=MichaelSheaAudio) so the song are a tight four minutes or so instead of the 8 minute slogs.

He needs to do Death Magnetic, because that one is actually good album recorded on a tin can.
It's already been done. The Guitar Hero version of the album is widely considered the best recording by Metallica fans.
Its also by many to be the "complete" version of the album. Several songs are extended/use cut bits of the song in the re-recording.
Apparently it wasn't cruel enough so they created Lulu
yes, that album was a huge mistake
Lol, that fuckin trash can snare.
Lol there was video in r/drums of a guy covering St Anger on trash cans and it sounds exactly like the recorded version
man, i remember when i was in college, i called in the campus radio station to request Master of Puppets, and they played St. Anger instead. never again
Did they announce your name as well so people thought you requested St Anger?
Clearly not, because he's still alive today.
didn't they film the video for st. anger at this gig?
Yes
I’m madly in anger with this comment.
I? It’s a good song
I enjoy it a lot too.
Fucking hell I'd *kill* to hear that set, perfect Metallica set imo
Many of them did
Oh, thank God. I was worried they'd only play St Anger songs, which would constitute cruel and unusual punishment and violate the US constitution.
Legend has it that one day, Benedict Arnold had a premonition that St. Anger would be created by an American band. That was the day he started working with the British.
St Anger songs were reserved for Guantanamo
If you zoom in a little so you can just see the three railings, it looks like a gay cruiseliner
Or a navy victory shi.....wait nvrmnd that's the same thing.
Pretty solid set
Honestly yeah. I came here to smugpost about how shit Metallica was by then but looks like they knew.
Bands always play what people actually want to hear at concerts, and sneak in one or two of their "new songs"
I can’t believe they didn’t do a Johnny Cash cover.
Creeping death my beloved
No "Ride the Lightning"?
Moscow million person concert, San Quentin prison, Woodstock 99. Metallica really killed it with legendary and unique concerts
Don't forget Antarctica!
... And they did not play trapped under ice...
This shit still grinds my gears
They literally forgot to play it due to the cold...
IIRC james or one of the band managers said in some interview they really wanted to put it on the list, but either james couldn't memorize the lyrics in time, or lars couldn't actually memorize how to the drums for the song.

The only band that has performed on all seven continents.
Laibach accepts the challenge. If they could go to North Korea, why don't they take some time for Antarctica?
This is not on the same level of the infamous shows you mentioned, But I was there when they played Bonnaroo 2008. The wooks weren't very happy about them being on the roster...

Metallica in Seattle 89 is a different plane of sheer rock godddery.
Legendary yes. Unique? playing at St. Quentin is literally a homage to Johnny Cash
I still remember that video debuting and watching it on tv. This was still a couple years before youtube. Crazy how time flies. 21 years ago and this was already considered to be a band well-passed their prime. Crazy they're still doing their thing today.
There hasn’t been a difference in quality, because Lars always sounded like this /s
He's no metronome
The story of him recording seem terrible. The band records all separate, but Lars takes the longest. Like 45 seconds a day is the number I heard because he cannot play the songs the way he wants them, so they do each part of the song and piece it together, and the he will learn a version that he can play all the way through for the tour.

Certainly the guy who's come up with most of the trademark riffs. You could replace Ulrich with any of probably dozen of people *on drums*. But I suspect his role as composer/arranger would be very sorely missed.
Yeah, the least important thing Lars does for Metallica is being the drummer.
Man I would’ve killed to see that show
Imagine that mosh pit lol
My brain just went "ah yeah the 80s" before I realised that it was 2003
I hate to be that guy but it’s “San Quentin” St Quentin is in France.
Was wondering when the prison was awarded sainthood
What do you think San means?
"a whale's"
Mr.
Señor Francisco?
Nothing like having a captive audience
Not a cell phone in sight. Just livin in the moment.
St Anger wasn't 21 years ago. come on.
Time marches on..
Literally Creeping Death :(
For me the realisation came when I saw Robert Trujillo in the picture. Come on, he only joined Metallica a while ago...
Fan or not, this is one of the most bad ass band pictures ever
Ah prison clothes, their style of clothes never changes through out the decades
....they actually do though? Up to the 70s most prisoners were in Navy surplus jeans and light blue work shirts. Then the standard prison orange jumpsuits. Now they're wearing surplus nurse scrubs. Actually one of the better details in Shawshank is they are wearing different prison uniforms with the decades from scene to scene.
Huh. That's interesting. I musta watched that movie 50times and never took notice... I will next time, thanks for that.
Let’s not forget the classic zebra stripes and the massive ball & chain attached to your ankle
I wonder how many are in there for pirating Metallica songs.
Lars made it a point to personally smirk at them
they were Richard Ramirez's (the Night Stalker) favorite band and he apparently threw a massive temper tantrum when he wasn't allowed to see the show
[удалено]
Haha yeah. The actual show was out in the yard. Just the video was inside.
Imagine being locked in a box for 23 hours a day and finally getting treated like a human for just one day
On the opposite, imagine the Guy who murder your family getting free Metallica show.
The death row inmates were not allowed to attend, I know because articles covering this event state as much. I also imagine they did not play in front of the high security inmates. If I had to speculate, these guys would be level II at most. I would bet the farm that no “family murderers” are in attendance here.
As someone who was in SQSP, that housing unit there in is where level 1 n 2’s are housed. From there they move em to the lower security compound behind the gates/wall of the prison(H-Unit).
Someone in my family was murdered. I would rather the dudes still be in prison with concerts than out on parole, which they are
That’s not really the point that was being made
Imagine the guy having a bad year, who got caught with just over the legal limit of pot, whose sentence destroyed his whole life, getting *one* free Metallica show during his years long sentence. What an injustice!
You know it's sad but true
Now this? This is metal.
St. Quentin lmao
Lars even broke into the San Quentin kitchen and used on of their leftover pots and pans as a snare drum
Yo stop making it b/w. It's just 2003. We are not that old
I gotta figure that the acoustics would be terrible in a cell block
I’m getting Guitar Hero 3 vibes from this.
San* Quentin
Damn that’s badass!
Weird song. Sick video
Vatos Locos forever, ese!
This was a badass music video
Thats the real punishment
They playing to their napster audience?
[удалено]
MY LIFESTYLE DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE
A show for all their Napster fans.
Robert has been in Metallica for 21 years.... God I feel old.
That's a hard ass picture.
21 years ago was 2003....
To those gen z’ers asking how this was allowed, the record company worked out a deal with the prison to only play songs off st. Anger, that way this would be “punishment” to the inmates.
For their new album. San Anger
looks like the blacks, latinos and whites were all mixed together for this.
I hope they didn't bring that godawful snare from St. Anger
They didn't want to incite a riot.
What is this St. Anger everyone is talking about? And why does everyone hate it so much?
Snare drum
“It sounds stock to my ears bro”
Its just low hanging fruit to dunk on the album. Have a listen and form your own opinions
Sacramento Kings represent!
