In late 2022 I attempted Suicide. The entire time I was on Psych hold in the ER waiting on a bed in a Psych ward, I was singing this song. I credit this song to keeping me alive. I still listen to this daily. Please, don't hesitate to ask for help. Go seek counseling. Death is not the way out.
Honestly, it is absolutely stunning to me that in all of the social media world, the comments section is an endless pit of hatred and fuckin stupidity, but somehow, someway, the comments section for metallica live videos on YT is an endless outpouring of love and unity by the whole metallica family...It is absolutely excellent and uplifting. Thank you everyone. And thank you Metallica!
How soon is now. Time for me to listen. Hm, im not desbelieved by listening your song fade to Black. Very nice to meet you again and again on you tube probably. Now maybe be carefully for beeing in time ofthe year 2024.and i knew that people are people for you. İsnt it so that im going to be a good listener evey Day and from now lıke. İm can speak better about metallica and my fight to say..... İ love you.
I'm not trying to trigger anyone and I'm glad you guys are still with us and turned a new leaf. But how did a song about someone killing themselves save you? Once again, I'm not trying to offend anyone. Just curious.
@@nrsolja1022 For me the song was like an emotional catharsis when I listened to it in my darkest days. Each time I listened the song all my negative emotions poured out and after it I was left emotionally empty, but in a positive way. I threw away all those negative thoughts. And with time negative emotions & feelings vanished and I was still alive...
You know the song people claimed made kids take their lives actually saved more lives that they think. Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean we can’t relate. Love Metallica forever
The bands of tomorrow will never be as legendary as the bands of yesterday, they’re competing against Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, like cmon now T Swift ain’t got nothing on them
@@asmallcloudnebula6963And stay away from the internet. Since a long time, I only go on-line before going to sleep, after the majority of the day is behind me, and I did my stuff. Both obligations, and other things that bring me joy. Including listening to my music CD's on my stereo or portable player. My mental health benefited from an immense boost of positivity. Sometimes I spend 2 days in a row without going on-line. You can practically feel your mind and soul rebuilding and healing themselves. Same logic with TV.
This song saved my life when my mom passed away and I thought there was no more life to me. This song made feel I was not alone, made me feel understood, listened. It made me feel like Metallica wrote this song for me in that moment... I can't explain it but, I'm pretty sure some of you will understand my words. Thanks you Metallica, you helped me to win depression (although sometimes it still tries to be back). You made me stronger, or... showed me I was stronger than I thought. Thanks you forever Metallica. ❤
Bro... This song saved my life too and you're the first person I see saying the same thing I say when I tell everybody how this song saved me. It felt like a finaly had a friend, like someone finally understood me, I felt listened, just like you said! You're a winner bro!!!!
@@metallaholic the funny thing is I first learned how to play it on Viola and then taught myself how to play it on Guitar. I can still play it on Viola but my Guitar skills have since deteriorated and I need to relearn it.
I've been learning the electric guitar for 2 months now and i'm working on this song right now. Need to get faster with the riffs and the fast part in the intro solo.
I have hundreds of metal records, from all sorts of subgenres. Kirk is still one of my favourite guitar players. Creative as hell. You can't practice creativity.
I like how the spray the same message over and over again with this song, I saw them on MX and my brother was going through a crisis of suicidal thoughts, I took him with me to the concert and explained him what the song was about, You guys don’t have an idea of how much this event helped our family
At 7:25, Lars points out into the crowd. He pointed at me. After the song finished, he walked over and made sure I caught his stick. After Fade to Black… Unforgettable night. My first Metallica show.
James's talk before that awesome riff was one of the thing that connects them to even more people now. Well said from a dark place which can affect anyone. 👏 Still playing like this after all these years too. Amazing. We're blessed to have 'tallica. ❤
Gotta say on this version Lars and Kirk are the standouts. Kirk with his amazing solo and Lars with good feel and fills with a great double bass ending. Great job guys, kicking Ass as usual. Long live the Metal Titans 🤟🏼❤
Lars sounds really good on this tour and these recordings. He doesn't feel like he is rushing as much as some older live recordings of the past decade. Whoever is mixing their live audio needs a fucking raise too as it's some of the best they have ever had this past year.
When fade to black started i immediately started crying this song has saved my life countless times then right when i heard james speach i was sobbing uncontrollably the pain of everything ive been through my life i wasnt feeling well. I was feeling like i should take my life but this moment of the show made me cry so hard it felt so good to cry this moment and james speach has saved my life and has given me a reason to keep going i love you metallica and james you saved my life countless times without knowing it. Long live metallica.❤
Hello James, Lars, Kirk and Rob, if you read this, I want to thank you guys, for saving my life, for the third time! Otherwise, I would be dead now... So thank you! 🙌🤘
I was there live, it was done really well, James even had covid during this show and they had to end early because his voice was hurting him, I could only Imagine how perfect it would sound if he was 100%
Makes me wonder how often the guys are up on stage playing and look out into the crowd to see someone crying. Metallica means the world to me and I have seen them 3 times but I will be seeing them for the first time in almost 15 years soon. I won’t be surprised if I cry, they have helped me through so much in those 15 years.
I'm 18 and i know Metallica since i was 5..thx to my dad..i love old Metal/Rock songs.. just wanna say..this song is still alive among new gen.. it's just rare to find :)
I cried to this song when they played it in Arlington, this song will forever have a big special place in my heart. Long live MetallicA and the METAL!!!!!🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
I balled like a baby. I lost my son 1 and 1/2 years ago. He was my concert buddy and shared my love of Metallica. Arlington was my first show without him there by my side. I cried so hard but weirdly it was cleansing. RIP George
Lyrics: 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...
This song has taken me many miles through my life, from the first time hearing it as a pre-teen, trying to understand the changes that were happening. This helped me deal mentally with losing both of my parents, allowing me to grieve with a set of headphones on and flash through many memories of them growing up. Now at 51 this is a song that I listen to daily, and when the time comes I want this played as I fade away.... and I already have it set up to be played LOUD at my graveside for my journey home. Thank you to Metallica for writing and continuing to play what I feel is the best song ever!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Metallica is life
One thing about Metallica, they have so many good songs that many will have many different favorites. But vast majority will have this one in the top 5, and it’s cause this song has so much character is which why I love this one so much
I have attempted suicide multiple times in my life & I am still considering it, but hearing James say, "You're not alone," always reminds me that there are still a lot of reasons why I should keep going. Thank you, James
I’ve never been fortunate enough financially or transportation wise to ever see Metallica Live in concert but thank you Metallica Channel for bringing the energy Live to my home ❤❤
4:17 That really meant a lot to me hearing this. Thank you, James. I hope I get the chance to see Metallica live again. Haven't since the World Magnetic tour.
I have felt that inside, and I would have listened to it for sure if not in part due to your music. Thank you, it was an honor to be able to hear that live.
I grew up listening to Metallica and there is hardly a day in my life that I don't listen to this song. These days, when I'm reaching my forties, I still can't stop listening to it and I can't stop my emotions and tears every time. Thank you Cliff, James, Lars and Kirk for always being with me with your brilliant music. I wish to meet you in Iran one day.
He always has a speech before the bridge, this one being one of my favorites but another one’s gotta be in 2007, “ARE YOU ALIVE?!! TELL ME HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE!!!” so poetic, it’s like saying, if you made it here you can make it anywhere
This is the first time I saw this version of Fade to Black. I heard James’ speech during the Dallas concert, but this one was so powerful. I love that he is speaking out for everyone to hear!!! You are not alone!!!
i've been listening to Metallica since i was a 13 years old. Now i am 20, and i am still listen to Metallica. Despite all my problems, Metallica helps me to be above water.
I was at this very concert and I was so thrilled to hear this song, and when James paused the song to deliver his message to remind us all that we are not alone, I was nearly in tears because of how this song helped me thru some tough times. Fade To Black will always be my favorite Metallica song
James, you are my life. :'c thanks for everything, for your music, for your english skills, thanks, Lars, thanks, Cliff. TO everyone. I learned english through Metallica lyrics.

This performance kind of feels significant to me. It took place on my 18'th birthday, which is fitting seeing as they were touring for 72 Seasons. I've been thinking a lot about life and death, the meaning of love, the give-and-take, the importance of learning, and where I and anyone else belongs. It all comes crashing down at one point. It's a sort of burden that everyone is forced to bear: that which spawns from the desire to understand. You seek answers about your existence and life through philosophy and debates with yourself. You quickly come to realize that there is still so much ahead of you, and that the same applies for everyone else, even those much closer to death than you. Everyone wrestles in the grips of understanding until the day they die and wash away. And now it's my turn to balance that with the simple task of surviving, and making my own living. Sometimes, you fear that you won't have enough time to figure it all out. You feel as if you won't be satisfied with what you take with you beyond the grave. Or what you leave behind. I wonder if that's supposed to contain some semblance of beauty. As if yearning to achieve some impossible task is something I should be inspired or amazed by. I wonder what my opinion on that subject would be on my deathbed. Anything and everything that I had ever done would soon be gone, and for all I know, it could be the last time I experience or love anything. All the people and places and memories- gone, hopefully in a painless instant. And what would it all have been for? For them, of course, but I still believe I would feel disappointed that I had not come to understand it all. But I'm only 18. I have so much time to grow and learn, still. For all I know, I'll get dementia and forget about it all in due time. So I'm giving myself hope that I'll find my way. And I hope that no matter what happens, I will have given more than I have taken. And though I most certainly will never come to understand it all, I hope that I'll fade to black having never stopped trying... (also james' voice refuses to get worse lmao)
My place tonight is entirely different then when I lost my brother in 1994.... today I am feeling the 2 year anniversary of the loss of my Dad... but it doesn’t change anything... Metallica still reminds me that I am not alone... doesn’t matter the circumstances... Thank you Metallica (seriously, thank you)
This song is amazing !!! but your performance live was out of this world !!! amazing live version from a guy that have seen so many over the years in my top 3 !!!, so glad to see that you guys still deliver music in such qualitie !!! makes me so proud of being a fan since 1984 !!! thank you !!!

Probably one if not their best song ever. Both musically and lyrically
the whole ride the lighting album bro, phenomenal
i love kirks slow soulful solos in this sooo much
I totally agree!!!!!
Lyrics maybe but to live is to die probably the best musically song they've made imo
Yassss ❤❤❤
I loved James' speech 4:09 makes me proud to be a Metallica fan. I have been through that and this song gives me comfort that I'm not alone!
Priceless speech, that is how influencers should act
feeling the same way.
James is so helplessly real and open about his flaws. He will play until he loses all feelings in his hands. ❤
James örökké élni fog! Élnie kell!
He says it like it is. James Hetfield is a true badass
Metallica going on strong as always, regardless of what others say
Amen to that ❤
Yea
Never cared fo............
sorry il get my coat
YESSIR
Others can fuck off. ❤
They sound TIGHT
There will never be another band as great as Metallica, we are privileged to be alive at this time!
And albums are timeless
Indeed we are. ❤
I FEEL THE SAME
The bands of tomorrow will never be as legendary as the bands of yesterday, they’re competing against Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, like cmon now T Swift ain’t got nothing on them

My goodness Kirk’s solo without Wah sounds so good, it shows how good of a guitar player he is, played so clean and well
I have hundreds of metal records, from all sorts of subgenres. Kirk is still one of my favourite guitar players. Creative as hell. You can't practice creativity.
This improvize solo is sucks one of the shittiest solo i've ever heard. Kirk should play original solo without wah shit
I think its because hes using Greeny the nick pickup is flipped to give an out of phase sound and there is something special about that guitar
It belonged to peter Green then Gary Moore had it and now Kirk has obtained that famous 59 Les Paul. What a great guitar.@@timallan879

I agree I think I've only seen one other video of them playing this song that is better. You can hear the passion of every note played.
Okay yeah check out the one in Brazil on May 12th last year. Truly amazing.
First time in the snake pit for me… first time I cried at a Metallica concert - amazing experience and thank you guys!!!

Lyrics:
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...
Good by
This song gave me a spark of light in the darkest hours of my life.
Metallica I can’t tell you how much this song means to me is help me through so many tough times in my life.
Waited 17 years to finally see them live... best concert I've ever been to
This is the onyl song makes me cry. Hetfields speech before the solo is like a dads advices. I love you guys. You are the best.
Dear Metallica, you save my life. Thank you 🤘🇲🇨

- James Hetfield
*Proceeds to talk about suicide awareness and to talk to someone like a true badass*

It's so awesome to see Greeny still playing to massive audiences worldwide.
the best harmonies of all time 5:44

Awesome. Such a great song, hard to believe it will be 40 years old next year. Love seeing Greeny on it as always.

One of the best renditions of the best song. Kirk really putting people in there place here. No wah and just insane improv solo. Legends.

Kirk hammet getting better and better...he is just started❤❤
i've been listening to Metallica since i was a 13 years old. Now i am 20, and i am still listen to Metallica. Despite all my problems, Metallica helps me to be above water.
I was at this very concert and I was so thrilled to hear this song, and when James paused the song to deliver his message to remind us all that we are not alone, I was nearly in tears because of how this song helped me thru some tough times. Fade To Black will always be my favorite Metallica song
James, you are my life. :'c thanks for everything, for your music, for your english skills, thanks, Lars, thanks, Cliff. TO everyone.
I learned english through Metallica lyrics.
Even several tens of thousands of miles away one can feel all the energy of music! Awesome! 🤘
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...
I love this song and am not sure I would have survived my teens without it. I was fortunate enough to be in the Snake Pit for this show.
Seeing this live gives me goosebumps. Absolutely incredible performance.
Best song ever written by Metallica. The complexity of the music, the lyrics, absolutely flawless! And still, after all these years, they nail it!
This song got me through a lot of hard times.
I was there, and for my first time seeing them live, I was tearing up when they played this one specifically.
First time I heard this song live was in 1992, at PIR in Phoenix, james all bandaged up. How things come full circle.
Been listening to them since they started now at 65 years old still loud and heavy
This performance kind of feels significant to me. It took place on my 18'th birthday, which is fitting seeing as they were touring for 72 Seasons. I've been thinking a lot about life and death, the meaning of love, the give-and-take, the importance of learning, and where I and anyone else belongs. It all comes crashing down at one point. It's a sort of burden that everyone is forced to bear: that which spawns from the desire to understand. You seek answers about your existence and life through philosophy and debates with yourself. You quickly come to realize that there is still so much ahead of you, and that the same applies for everyone else, even those much closer to death than you. Everyone wrestles in the grips of understanding until the day they die and wash away. And now it's my turn to balance that with the simple task of surviving, and making my own living. Sometimes, you fear that you won't have enough time to figure it all out. You feel as if you won't be satisfied with what you take with you beyond the grave. Or what you leave behind. I wonder if that's supposed to contain some semblance of beauty. As if yearning to achieve some impossible task is something I should be inspired or amazed by. I wonder what my opinion on that subject would be on my deathbed. Anything and everything that I had ever done would soon be gone, and for all I know, it could be the last time I experience or love anything. All the people and places and memories- gone, hopefully in a painless instant. And what would it all have been for? For them, of course, but I still believe I would feel disappointed that I had not come to understand it all. But I'm only 18. I have so much time to grow and learn, still. For all I know, I'll get dementia and forget about it all in due time. So I'm giving myself hope that I'll find my way. And I hope that no matter what happens, I will have given more than I have taken. And though I most certainly will never come to understand it all, I hope that I'll fade to black having never stopped trying...
(also james' voice refuses to get worse lmao)
Kirks improvisation in those solos, CHEFS KISS! Holy crap that’s good stuff
Yeah, it was without wah this time around. Do you like it better with or without wah ?
So so hard to say, I feel like what he played would’ve sounded good with the wah.
Stopped me from killing my self is what this song has done for me thank u Metallica an papa het 🤘❤️🔥
This is my favourite metallica song and none will be better in my opinion
My place tonight is entirely different then when I lost my brother in 1994.... today I am feeling the 2 year anniversary of the loss of my Dad... but it doesn’t change anything... Metallica still reminds me that I am not alone... doesn’t matter the circumstances... Thank you Metallica (seriously, thank you)
I was at that show, they sound as good as ever !!!! Even in the 4th level the sound was awesome
2:45 is my favourite part, Kirk’s little slow solos, I also adore this song with all my heart, Means so much to me
This song is amazing !!! but your performance live was out of this world !!! amazing live version from a guy that have seen so many over the years in my top 3 !!!, so glad to see that you guys still deliver music in such qualitie !!! makes me so proud of being a fan since 1984 !!! thank you !!!
The only song that can still make me cry just the same
This song literally transcends time itself. And it always crushes!
Bravo James for the speach in the middle of the song!!!
