I don't care what anyone says. That main riff to me is one of the heaviest riffs that Metallica has written. And I love it. Metallica family for life 🤘
Thank You Metallica for this song, it helped me through my darkest times, it helped me avoid prison, made me think, helped me not let my anger take control over my soul and being. God Bless.
This song helped me through depression. When it came out, I heard it at least 10 times a day and tried to learn it on guitar. I pushed the hell out of my right hand until I got it right. And it was AWESOME when I played it loud in the same tempo. I don't care what people say, this is one of the best songs of Metallica because it's loud, fast, heavy, and powerful at the same time. And best of all, IT HAS A MESSAGE that you can feel identified with.
I didn’t realize as a 7 year old being depressed (or angry) that a LOT of people had the same love and energy from this album. I’m glad to see it’s helped lots of people and honestly it’s A FIRE ASS ALBUM regardless of everything we’ve gone through. There’s a Documentary on this album PLEASE watch it it’s so good and worth the time and love they put into this album!
i think this track is amazing. The "SET IT FREE!!!!" moment is one of the coolest raw wild blast of anger i ever heard on a record. It's pure noise metal for few seconds! They just nailed it 100% and just for that the record should be raised and appreciated the way it should be, with respect.
The ''set it free'' moment is fucking great man. I was telling my friend the same thing you commented here. There are 2 little seconds where's just NOISE

There's just so much emotion in Hetfield's voice (and this album overall) especially when he starts singing "St. Anger 'round my neck..." Great video too
I agree. A lot of old school metalica fans complain about the loud snare but I think it was a good intention to get the message across about raw anger. The loud snare from Lars is actually one of the best things about the song because it does compliment the feeling of out of control impulses of rage. Don't why people are so bent out of shape over it. It's not like they did a complete flip like linkin park did, they changed it just enough so that they could still keep some of there essence. Plus, not every metal song needs to have guitar solo to be a great.
The whole St Anger album is fucking badass, great headbanging music. Best part of the album is that it's not a traditional Metallica album that most fans/critic's expected, it aggressively hits you from the first track to the last.
The way everyone feels about this song is the way they were feeling toward each other when they created it. There is real conviction in every snare of this song.
Psyche Fuck, when I'm reading such comments my personality splitting instantly. First there is a short period of mad smile and laugh (cuz jokes about Lars always funny even when they're corny) and then that thought... What kind of turbo expensive and extraordinary drugs he was taking during recording and releasing the shit? It's just fucking impossible to let this to factory (disc pressure?) and then sell as Metallica album by healthy minded person who was one of the greatest metal compositors... and pretty good drummer especially late '80 when he could into double kick. Just think about that. Imagine Lars standing near console with billions of strange buttons listening to final record of this... this fucking piece of insanely fucked up gigantic smelly disgusting loose shitSuddenly he just smiled up to himself thinking that this is ABSOLUTELY FINE and work is done. What is done can't be undone so here we are. PS. One more think, just want to say 'hello there how's life' to my neighbors that actually listening to this interesting record with me in the same time because of my new speakers intensive test. xD PS2. Speakers playing all the danish loose poop snare drum part "clean" and pretty loud, police is probably coming right now to put them to jail because of being so rude.
Why do people hate this? This song is making me, and many others, listen and get into their other stuff. It is allowing the band to grow and that can only be a good thing, if you were a true fan you would have their best intentions at heart, not your own. The anger, yearning and general heavy feeling just completes this song, the chorus and bass/drums mix just works so well. I hope they release more like this! +1
Achtung_Spitfire Because it's a mediocre track made shit by a poor mix and a snare tuning that not only sounds bad but also dominates the entire thing.
Achtung_Spitfire I don't like this song, big fucking deal. It's like if i don't like one of their songs i'm not a real fan and blah blah blah... Reminds me of myself 15 years ago... Hopefully you too will grow up
Fans can be so demanding sometimes. They don't want their fav band to move on and express their current emotions, or explore new genres and sound, they want them to stay the same as they were in their old album(s) (perhaps one album the fan particularly likes). The band isn't allowed to move on, they have to stay in their "Master of Puppets" sound and never move on. I like this album. It was refreshing.
mequable James' singing is worse than previous albums, the songwriting is bad, and using snare drums constantly with no guitar solos makes it even worse. Especially for a lot of the longer songs.
mequable there is no way to leave everyone happy we all want to see metallica grow; but some people think that the old sound is the only sound they should play...but lets take a look at slayer...ALL THEIR ALBUMS SOUND THE SAME WITH A DIFFERENT SOLO AND DIFFERENT LYRICS there i said it come and hate on me guys...but that is the reality i liked this album something different to the usual hard rock and heavy metal of the old albums
I have to admit it was because of this album I started to get into Metallica. I had already listened to other songs but never looked in to them. So for me I am grateful to have this album, because now I have Metallica in my life. And what would I do without master of puppets.
Right there with you. Probably same age too, and my uncle told me that this was bad compared to their older stuff and I refused to believe that was possible
@@TheVolginator Yeah, I mean, I still think the album has a lot of good ideas, but it sounds like garbage and every song is about twice as long as it needs to be. Fortunately, I started listening to their older stuff, especially Kill Em All and Master of Puppets, not too long after being exposed to this. 😁

@@lepork519 Well yes, but actually no... Kurt was more natural in screams because of his very rough voice; James didn't use a lot real screamings (except in a very few songs like The Unforgiven III, or in Kill 'Em All, but it was his young voice, not screams)... But apart from James and Kurt (who played totally different genres) one of my favourite singers in screams is Phil Anselmo, from Pantera. He is a real master.
Nothing explains St. Anger better than the documentary, 'Some Kind of Monster.' The film follows the band as it deals with the departure of Newsted, the addition of Rock on bass, the auditioning of new bassists, Hetfield going to rehab (and the other members dealing with this) and the overall, collaborative writing process in general. Basically, 'Some Kind of Monster' explains why 'St. Anger' is what 'St. Anger' is. Fans cannot simply listen to the album and fully understand what Metallica created. To gain that perspective, listen to the album, watch the documentary...and then listen to the album again. It will open your eyes and ears to things you didn't know existed on 'St. Anger.
I don’t care about the snare sound. It doesn’t bother me. This entire album is really good in ny opinion. Hate me. However, a edit of this and any song off of St. Anger with a guitar solo would be cool. They already exist, but doesn’t matter if they’re there or not to me. It would be fun though.
2023 and I still can't listen to this song without playing it ten times in a row. It stirs up so much emotion that needs to be dealt with. This album is as much therapy for us as it was for Metallica.
When you get past the snare this song and the _whole album_ is great. Although it took a while, I seriously don't mind the snare anymore and love the whole album the same amount as every single other one.
+izaaks100 I know - sure, I think some of their older stuff was better but people act like this album is death itself...It's a different sound, but this song and sweet amber are some of my favourite metallica songs...
the mixing on it just sounds off. It's too much. The first slipknot album had the same idea just executed much better, giving a raw sound but not sticking out so much in the mix
I think people lose sight of the snare's purpose in this album. The album is about anger and frustration, that snare makes you uncomfortable on purpose (like a comedian will make people uncomfortable before a punch line to make the laughter an escape thus amplifying the joke). They want you to get to a dark angry place with no sensibility and that snare is there to make the song sound more raw, it's there to antagonize you so you transport yourself to that place. And then the lyrics and riffs are the escape. It's an album that is meant to be heard while you jump around like a maniac screaming, not to be heard while you sit still and pick it apart. It's the musical equivalent of someone getting in your face until you explode in fury.
people are that stupid. They say they are fans of Metallica and do not understand a damn thing about their music. People wanted Metallica to thrash again after Load/Reload. That's what it is: pure thrash in its rawest expression. You cannot get much more aggressive than this.
Mario Dupuis i like st anger ( the song) and i dont doubt the thrashity ,lets say, of their songs and especially this one but for exampke frantic was a dissappointment from the part of performance or as a song.
Yeaaaah not sure if San Quentin is still letting musicians in, they should. It's good for morale and helps keep inmates behaving as they have something to look forward to.
To make it much shorter, cause the main problem with the Album is that, it is simply too long with its 78 minutes. After half an hour the album just gets very boring and repetitive. They should leave about a bunch of songs, or they should reduce the longness of the them back to 2-4 minutes. 28 minutes is a reference to Slayer's Reign in Blood. That was around 28 minutes and simply perfect in its concreteness.
They actually got to, Metallica performed an entire set while they were there for the inmates, it was actually technically Rob's first show. I think they actually performed a couple of sets for different sets of inmates.
Prison guards: guys, metallica will play for you today Prisoners: cool *metallica arrives* Prisoners since 1981: where the fuck is Dave Mustaine and Ron McGowney
I think the snare gives it an even more angry and pissed off feeling. It fits perfectly with the album, but i wouldn't like that same snare on any other album.
The snare drum might've been more tolerable if it didn't sound like a trash can lid. They could've used the snare from The Black Album, Load, and Reload and it would've been a lot better!
a fucking masterpiece Metallica. my favorite song on the album. it's both melodic and heavy and it's perfect. don't care what others say about the st.anger album,the entire album is a masterpiece, especially this song
As a Hip Hop head since the 80's, this is one of the illest songs and videos I've ever seen. After years of watching artists walk around on stage with 30 other people who do absolutely nothing, I've always amdired Metallica for listening to and appreciating their fans and their opinions on their music.
People always say Lars can't play double bass because of what he did with Dyer's Eve. However just look at 0:38. People ignore the drums in this song because the snare sounds weird, so they don't hear that part.
Honestly, im asking this seriously, why do people consider this album so bad? I've listened to it quite a few times, but I just don't know what people hate so much.
It's because of the horrible sound quality and the simplicity of the songs. Their older songs were better constructed. The "St. Anger" album sounds like it was just slapped together just so Metallica could say, "We released a new album."
MetaKnighttime Yeah, that's the thing. Fans can be so demanding sometimes. They don't want their fav band to move on and express their current emotions, or explore new genres and sound, they want them to stay the same as they were in their old album(s) (perhaps one album the fan particularly likes). The band isn't allowed to move on, they have to stay in their "Master of Puppets" sound. Imo, James does not sound country and swearing has something to do with the whole anger-ness of the album.

At the time I was sorely disappointed with this album, not lying there. But it has gotten so much better with age and I am truly enjoying this album more than ever these days. I just can't enough of the raw sound.
I don’t think a lot of people realize that this song has one of the best James hetfield screams at 4:42, and that once you get past the bad snare sound that it is actually a fast thrashy song, and Lars has some good double bass drum pedal playing in this song
You love this album only when you relate to it. I'm really grateful to Metallica, especially to James Hetfield for it. Listening to an aggressive album in your hardest times and finding so many relatable lyrics on it makes feel different...
I don't care what anyone says. That main riff to me is one of the heaviest riffs that Metallica has written. And I love it. Metallica family for life 🤘

[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go free
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself, Saint Anger 'round my neck
[Post-Chorus]
I feel my world shake like an earthquake
Hard to see clear, is it me, is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
[Verse]
Saint Anger 'round my neck
Saint Anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint Anger 'round my neck
[Pre-Chorus]
(You flush it out, you flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck
(You flush it out, you flush it out) He never gets respect
(You flush it out, you flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck
(You flush it out, you flush it out) He never gets respect
[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go free
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself, Saint Anger 'round my neck
[Post-Chorus]
I feel my world shake like an earthquake
Hard to see clear, is it me, is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
[Bridge]
And I want my anger to be healthy
And I want my anger just for me
And I need my anger not to control
And I want my anger to be me
And I need to set my anger free
And I need to set my anger free
Set it free!
[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go free
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself, Saint Anger 'round my neck
[Post-Chorus]
I feel my world shake like an earthquake
Hard to see clear, is it me, is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
Thanks you soo much
Thanks for showing how repetitive the lyrics are.
Thanks
best intro to a music video EVER! and if you don't like the so called "newer Metallica" GFY!!! Metallica is the GOAT!
slayer made a better song on prison, just saying
+Suicidalfuckernumber1 so?
Jaymz Hetfield so nothing, i was just saying
Gayiest Of All Time? humm...
The face of the guy at 2:45 expresses exactly how to feel about this song.
lol
😂😂
I like the snare drum :)
4:42 dat scream is brutal
Kurt Cobain: "Hold my beer…"
Brainz?
@@lavrvm4656 Kurt Cobain screams are like a kid in puberty
@@lepork519 Well yes, but actually no... Kurt was more natural in screams because of his very rough voice; James didn't use a lot real screamings (except in a very few songs like The Unforgiven III, or in Kill 'Em All, but it was his young voice, not screams)... But apart from James and Kurt (who played totally different genres) one of my favourite singers in screams is Phil Anselmo, from Pantera. He is a real master.
@@lavrvm4656 you should hear James on live, he has some pretty serious deep screams, especially at One, Seek & Destroy, Creeping Death and Master
Nothing explains St. Anger better than the documentary, 'Some Kind of Monster.' The film follows the band as it deals with the departure of Newsted, the addition of Rock on bass, the auditioning of new bassists, Hetfield going to rehab (and the other members dealing with this) and the overall, collaborative writing process in general. Basically, 'Some Kind of Monster' explains why 'St. Anger' is what 'St. Anger' is. Fans cannot simply listen to the album and fully understand what Metallica created. To gain that perspective, listen to the album, watch the documentary...and then listen to the album again. It will open your eyes and ears to things you didn't know existed on 'St. Anger.
dont care what anyone says, st anger was a bomb of an album. thanks boys.
its amazing what fans do to see their favorite band live.
A song about anger that when I hear cools me down. All hail St. Anger!
I don’t care about the snare sound. It doesn’t bother me. This entire album is really good in ny opinion. Hate me. However, a edit of this and any song off of St. Anger with a guitar solo would be cool. They already exist, but doesn’t matter if they’re there or not to me. It would be fun though.
You may like this or not, but this is the most badass video ever made
2023 and I still can't listen to this song without playing it ten times in a row. It stirs up so much emotion that needs to be dealt with. This album is as much therapy for us as it was for Metallica.
When you get past the snare this song and the _whole album_ is great.
Although it took a while, I seriously don't mind the snare anymore and love the whole album the same amount as every single other one.
This is such a System Of A Down influenced song. I can totally hear these guys playing and Serj singing it while listening to it!
you are 100% correct
Yeah. Slow and Hard at the same time with very downtuned guitars.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👐🏻
I agree, I hear SOAD here
its a nu-metal influenced song all the way. slipknot, SOAD, Limp Bizkit, you can hear em all in this song. lol
I love Kirk's guitar solo in this song. He didn't use a wah pedal this time, and the results were amazing.
Lmao
ha
Lmao
every solo on the album is unbelievable
There's no solos in the st anger dumbass
I remember it was 2003...20 years ago! And I heard it for the first time. Fallen in love! Metallica are an evergreen, timeless, phenomenal band.
I feel like this album is really underrated. I love it.
Arianna Palacios You should listen to the first two albums, for me they are the best
Daniel Castillo of course I have
I don't get why people don't like snare drums here. It gives it such a dirty, raw sound. To me it's perfect.
+izaaks100 I know - sure, I think some of their older stuff was better but people act like this album is death itself...It's a different sound, but this song and sweet amber are some of my favourite metallica songs...
+izaaks100 Imo, the best album from metallica with ride the lighting !
I don't have much of a problem with the snare itself. It's just that they made it louder than everything else, even James' vocals.
i dont get how can people call it "trash can" it's just alot of plate and spring reverb. every metal drum has it, just there we have much more of it
the mixing on it just sounds off. It's too much. The first slipknot album had the same idea just executed much better, giving a raw sound but not sticking out so much in the mix
I think people lose sight of the snare's purpose in this album. The album is about anger and frustration, that snare makes you uncomfortable on purpose (like a comedian will make people uncomfortable before a punch line to make the laughter an escape thus amplifying the joke). They want you to get to a dark angry place with no sensibility and that snare is there to make the song sound more raw, it's there to antagonize you so you transport yourself to that place. And then the lyrics and riffs are the escape. It's an album that is meant to be heard while you jump around like a maniac screaming, not to be heard while you sit still and pick it apart. It's the musical equivalent of someone getting in your face until you explode in fury.
people are that stupid. They say they are fans of Metallica and do not understand a damn thing about their music. People wanted Metallica to thrash again after Load/Reload. That's what it is: pure thrash in its rawest expression. You cannot get much more aggressive than this.
Exactly. The psychology behind this album is just pure brilliance.
Mario Dupuis i like st anger ( the song) and i dont doubt the thrashity ,lets say, of their songs and especially this one but for exampke frantic was a dissappointment from the part of performance or as a song.
Always makes me want to break something lol. But not as much as Pantera's WALK.
Or! It just sounds like complete shit.
i love Metallica !!!!!!
Imagine being in prison, get told Metallica is going to play for you, then its St. anger.
I think they played other songs too
they played a full set lol
St anger a good song what you talking about
Yeaaaah not sure if San Quentin is still letting musicians in, they should. It's good for morale and helps keep inmates behaving as they have something to look forward to.
greatest comment in RUclips history
They should make a 28 minutes long version of the whole St. Anger album, and it would be most kickass material in the last 20 years.
I heard, it isquite good, and I had posted the above mentioned 1 month before Hardwired to Self-destrust was released.
To make it much shorter, cause the main problem with the Album is that, it is simply too long with its 78 minutes. After half an hour the album just gets very boring and repetitive. They should leave about a bunch of songs, or they should reduce the longness of the them back to 2-4 minutes. 28 minutes is a reference to Slayer's Reign in Blood. That was around 28 minutes and simply perfect in its concreteness.
Am i the only to love St anger in it’s totality ?
Nope. I don't get the hate. It's not the black album, but it rocks.
No, it's honestly one of my favorite metallica albums
No it hits a special spot for me too even though I agree with others that it's below the bands level. It just has something
It's on my top 3 Metallica albums.
No ☻
This song kicks ass, one of my favourite Metallica tracks
💀💀💀😭😭😭😭
20 years, and I still listen to it like it was yesterday in my freshman year
同世代ですね
この曲を聴くと当時を昨日の様に思い出します
99.999% of that crowd just wanted to hear Master of Puppets
They actually got to, Metallica performed an entire set while they were there for the inmates, it was actually technically Rob's first show. I think they actually performed a couple of sets for different sets of inmates.
This is their punishment
@@nikhilsaurus2670 lmfao
2:01 they like this
cancer
i don't know what people think about this song .. but to me it sounds awesome ..
Dam right it's awesome, nearly as awesome as your pic.
😊@@astengrenfall3560
this song is really good ii dont care what anybody says
Who else here loves literally every single Metallica album? I'm obsessed with Load, Reload, and St. Anger as well.
This comment aged like milk
I'm old enough to remember when they were good. So... No.
When asked about their most difficult part of their stay in San Quentin, all the inmates responded: "Listening to Lars' snare drum"
You know how to use an apostrophe, but don't how snare drums work?
@@dasveinerslidin3739 okay mister smart
@@benjamin-vx1uv 👍
This is such a great song minus the snare and "ya flush it out"
Is it a snare drum? I thought it was an empty beer keg.
R.I.P. Snare , never forget

+Jeroen Reyns Not a snare, frying pan.
+No es otro tonto videoblog Lol nice one.
My favorite thing about metallica is James' voice, it's the best I've heard in metal
Prison guards: guys, metallica will play for you today
Prisoners: cool
*metallica arrives*
Prisoners since 1981: where the fuck is Dave Mustaine and Ron McGowney
Hahahahahahaha.
Imagine you didn’t know cliff died
dave and ron joined in 1982.
It’s Ron McGovney.
Love the song and the fact that they used the stories of the inmates in this video that are sorry for the bad things they did.
in Jesus it's not about keeping the law but the practice of faith. troll me if you like.
I think the snare gives it an even more angry and pissed off feeling. It fits perfectly with the album, but i wouldn't like that same snare on any other album.
Lol imagine it on and justice for all
Nõustun sinuga 100%.
I agree, it emphasizes the anger and constant noise and tension in prison and in the lives of the people depicted in the video
I actually like the song but to me the snare ruins it lol
that's what I've been saying
That snare makes it so raw. Anger oozing out with every beat.
20 years old this Album is Bloody hell where time gone
This song has aged extremely well! Sounds better as time goes on
Bob Rock: “How much snare drum do you want?”
Lars: “All of it”
This made me LOL.
It is pretty crazy they laid out the first test tracks and didn't have someone say "I think it's a bit much guys"
The snare drum might've been more tolerable if it didn't sound like a trash can lid. They could've used the snare from The Black Album, Load, and Reload and it would've been a lot better!
actually its missing the actual part that gives it the "snare" name LOL
I think you mean. None of it
You ain’t kidding
James was 39 yrs old when this came out im 39 now and i understand this whole fucking album now. Metallica 4 life
a fucking masterpiece Metallica. my favorite song on the album. it's both melodic and heavy and it's perfect. don't care what others say about the st.anger album,the entire album is a masterpiece, especially this song
Alec Foster thats the attitude!
I agree this song fucking rocks. The album is my least favorite of MetallicA but still fuckin rocks.
This song is trash,u fkm
I literally stopped listening to Metallica for 10 years because of this album. This album is so poor
thank you, it really is a diamond in the rough...
Even considering the bad snare, this is the best song on the album
u saved me time from listening to more than this track lol
That snare is absolutely amazing.
As a Hip Hop head since the 80's, this is one of the illest songs and videos I've ever seen. After years of watching artists walk around on stage with 30 other people who do absolutely nothing, I've always amdired Metallica for listening to and appreciating their fans and their opinions on their music.
I introduced to metallica in 2019 when i was 16 and now i am 18 and i love this song and i love the anger in james voice.. 🔥❤
When you finally get entertainment.... And it's Lars and this snare.
Tbh i would just cover my ears and watch lars play
@@lunahetfield He does play for the audience.
People always say Lars can't play double bass because of what he did with Dyer's Eve. However just look at 0:38. People ignore the drums in this song because the snare sounds weird, so they don't hear that part.
Some guy unknown to me on RUclips suggested I listen to this song. He has excellent taste. The song is effing awesome! 😊
Honestly, im asking this seriously, why do people consider this album so bad? I've listened to it quite a few times, but I just don't know what people hate so much.
I don't know either, I find St. Anger to be one of their best albums.
because people are fucking ignorant and dont appreciate change.. they want everything the same
MrCold012 right on point.
It's because of the horrible sound quality and the simplicity of the songs. Their older songs were better constructed. The "St. Anger" album sounds like it was just slapped together just so Metallica could say, "We released a new album."
MetaKnighttime Yeah, that's the thing. Fans can be so demanding sometimes. They don't want their fav band to move on and express their current emotions, or explore new genres and sound, they want them to stay the same as they were in their old album(s) (perhaps one album the fan particularly likes). The band isn't allowed to move on, they have to stay in their "Master of Puppets" sound.
Imo, James does not sound country and swearing has something to do with the whole anger-ness of the album.
Insane heavy metal started with this band like and comment if you agree!
Started whit metallica? No, just inspired but no started
Metallica brought it back, they saved Heavy Metal
Black sabbath started heavy metal, Metallica kept it alive.
metallica is considered the original thrash metal band, they didn't invent heavy metal or help to keep metal alive... lol...
z0mby ...No they weren't.. Venom started thrash man.
Too bad metallica didn't do this in the 80s, imagine a drunk james hetfield with a room full of dangerous criminals
Jajaja haciéndose los tipos malos estos de metallica entre la peor escoria de EE. UU. Ay uno que lo mira con cariño a hammet como diciendo si te agarro te hago el orto

Preaching the crossroads together with the universe is righteous. Thank you my brothers
At the time I was sorely disappointed with this album, not lying there. But it has gotten so much better with age and I am truly enjoying this album more than ever these days.
I just can't enough of the raw sound.
Yes! I agree frantic and this song used to be my least favorite song now they are almost my favs
The snare sounds awesome idk why are people complaining.
Yeah, the song overall is great by my opinion. Who cares if it has a solo or if the drums are "too loud"? The song is great anyways
St. Snare never gets respect.
St. Orange never gets respect

Nothing on this album deserves respect honestly.
@@Darkhalo314 😂😂😂 i hear ya but this song gets a pass in my eyes lol
St. Napster, Lars Is a Prick (Pre ahhk)!!
(Backing Vocals: You sell out, you sell out!!)
This is my favourite Metallica song, it’s so raw and intense!
Best ever quality HD-remaster on my channel )
Never has the bonk been in higher quality ))
I actually really like the St Anger album, I think it sounds really raw and primal.
Me too
I thinks alot of people hate it because it's not trve thrash like they usually do. either way I think it's a badass song.
Industrial
this is one the few metallica albums that used drop tuning, so it has groovier sound than usual.
Brindle Chihuahua me too
Its weird to think most man filmed in this music video still behind bars and never saw this music video
I love this track. So raw sounding
Обожаю! Нельзя передать словами как я люблю эту группу! Моё детство, моя юность, вся моя жизнь, без этой группы - ничто!
as a Metallica fan since 1986...they still kick ass...
I don’t think a lot of people realize that this song has one of the best James hetfield screams at 4:42, and that once you get past the bad snare sound that it is actually a fast thrashy song, and Lars has some good double bass drum pedal playing in this song
ThrivingSklo the snare drums made it great
The snare sounds perfect
noice profile pic bro
James 1:5
You're busting out you're busting out!
You love this album only when you relate to it. I'm really grateful to Metallica, especially to James Hetfield for it. Listening to an aggressive album in your hardest times and finding so many relatable lyrics on it makes feel different...
