I am and have been homeless before and Metallica's ability to reach into that side of yourself that you find out here is astounding. It doesn't make you want to quit though. Sometimes it gives you a release and you get a bit teary. This and Wherever I may Roam I need to listen to sometimes.
This is my favorite Metallica song. Has been since I first heard it in about 1985. The deep lyrics, the killer riffs, the transition back and forth from mellow to heavy. This song just has it all.
Just for fun, listen to War Pigs by Black Sabbath and compare it to this one. They are built the same. They sound very different but the changes and choice of where to go with the music are the same. If you know this one in and out you will hear it. I had been listening to both these songs for years and one day I played them on guitar one after the other and discovered it. That was a very cool realization.
I won't be the only person to post this, but this song actually saved me from suicide when I was a teenager struggling with mental illness in the early 1990s. Back then, mental health wasn't taken seriously at all.
I read a comment elsewhere that said the person in this song died thousands of times so the people listening that really needed it could live. It's powerful shit
This song was a big part of the reason why myself and many others are still around to enjoy it. Having suicide written in such an emotional manner shows just how impactful Metallica was in music. I'm loving your journey friend. Can't wait to watch more of it! 🍻
It saved my life. Back in the day, I'd tell people I was a Metallica fan and they'd laugh and say they were all idiots. Sorry, babies. Anyone who can write a song THIS deep is NOT stupid. So take your snickering and SHOVE IT! METALLICA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents died to double murder/ suicide when I was 8. This was my suicide song throughout my childhood. Now, as a survivor and a father of 2 boys, and nearing 50, I look at this song as my suicide salvation. Metallica will Always be my greatest savior right behind God.
This song brings you to your knees, every note from the guitar makes you feel all the desperation and angst of a person who is in so much mental pain they just simply can't go on living anymore. This song makes you happy you're alive. This song saved me 35 years ago.
@@andrewmalidore1237the only reason people have such distain for St. Anger is because it wasn't the music that anyone could have imagined Metallica would ever make. I'd bet that at laest 90% (or more) of the people that think St. Anger blows, would have a different opinion about it if they'd never heard any of Metallica's other albums so they weren't expecting a specific style, if they didn't know it was Metallica when they heard it, or if it was released by a different band.
Greatest metal-ballad ever recorded…..unmatched…..and Kirk is playing his heart out in the otherworldly outtro solo 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘……imagine these guys were 21-22 when writing this craziness 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘…..geniuses….and; oh yes, subbed. Btw; Metallica’s greatest force is their live-performances….you have so many many many great Metallica-moments in front of you 🤘🤘🤘 ( look at my profile-photo where I stand next to Kirk Hammett in a Meet ‘n’ Greet 6 years ago
My wife walked down the aisle to the opening instrumentals of this song and it will play at my funeral. I've said it since the 80's This is the greatest song ever written.
Yes, exactly. I had known the song for years. Then I watched the live videos of it. Since then, for me it has been the best song in the world, of all groups and all songs. It's unbeatable live
I want it played at my funeral as well. At 20, I had a couple of extra traumas that almost did me in. My cousin kept checking on me through a locked door because Fade to Black was all I would listen to, and I wanted nothing to do with anything or anyone. The song didn't save me as many people say it has for them. I still take antidepressants. Too many people have to or they give up. They fade to black. 🖤
Metallica is good in expression just by music itself. I used to feel all the things from their songs without knowing English and far before I had an internet to get the lyrics and translation. Surely, after that I fell in love with them again)
James Hetfield wrote this song after his guitar amp was stolen. It was special to him because his late Mother gifted it to him and he was devastated. Check out "Creeping Death" Live in Moscow. It will blow you away. Make sure to have the lyrics pulled up.
@@ilaser4064 Pretty sure you hearsay other's hearsay (: Their truck with all of their gear was hijacked and went into the horizon in Boston back in 1984. The only 2 pieces that fell out were Cliff's and Kirk's guitars.
@@ilaser4064 Right. But his mother gave him that amp on his sixteenth birthday. And that was his last birthday she was alive. So it was kinda sentimental to him.
The tone of that entire albm still kills almost 40 years later. Shit man, i was 14 when this album dropped. I still remember my first listen vividly. I screamed, laughed, sobbed...that whole ablum moved my soul. Welcome to the pit youngblood
Early Metallica There is no such thing as a bad or even average song. The early stuff Is literally The greatest metal Music ever invented especially first 3 albums
My son lost his best friend in a car accident and he listened to this song over and over and over. I am so thankful that he is still with me today. It could’ve been such a different outcome.
I still cannot believe this was ever made, man! I was born in 1986 and these guys, being unexperienced 19-20 y.o. dudes composed this masterpiece with all these guitars! This is just so sick, man!
As a non metal fan this song was my first time listening to Metallica, Orion right after, of course i knew about them but never paid attention. Man these guys are beyond amazing the instrumental along seem to speak to you and take you places, definitely an experience!
When this came out i recorded the song over and over on both sides of a casette tape and would have friends over and we would sit in my room in the dark listening to it for hours.
Easily one of the best Metallica songs in their whole catalog. If you enjoyed this, I'm curious to see how you would enjoy something like Bleeding Me from Load. That album was NOT received well when it first came out, but I think it's aged incredibly well. I'd highly recommended giving Bleeding Me a listen.
This was the first Metallica song I ever heard, and it literally saved my life. To know that someone out there felt the same way I did made me feel not alone anymore, and I felt if he could continue, so could I. That was more than 25 years ago, and I'm finally getting to see them in concert this Sunday (Nov 5th.) It will be a life-long dream come true, and if they play this song, my life will be complete lol.
Metallica is the masters of transitions, they did it sooooo beautifully….their music is timeless!!!! Still sounds just as good today as it did in the 80’s-90’s
I'm 60 now, and a couple years ago I was blasting Metallica in my car (had a phenomenal sound system) and two young guys pull up next and I thought "here we go" thinking they were going to make fun of the old man and his music. The next thing I know they are singing along, Wayne's World fashion, complete with mad head banging. The light turned green and we parted with smiles on our faces and a couple thumbs up from them. Makes me smile even now to think about it.😁
This takes me back to my high school years when I got deep into Metallica and eventually saw them live during the 1999 European tour. Watching this, all I could think was "Good for you, bruv". I'm genuinely happy for you. Listening to these songs for the first time is truly a memorable experience (at least, it was for me). Some songs might not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. Most songs get better the more you listen to them, as you start to pick up on some subtle things here and there. Thanks for sharing your experience. And yes, I think that the urge to grow long hair, a goatee, and learn how to play guitar are common side effects of listening to Metallica :)
Youre the same age as ny son, and i have noticed your generation is really open minded to many generes and seem to be drawn to metal from the 80s and grunge from the 90s. Awesome video man!
10:33 Do it. I was the same as you when I discovered this type of music. You’ll get so much life satisfaction out of learning guitar, especially with metal. I can tell you’d be make a great metal guitarist. As emotional as this song is, nothing can match describing your own emotions and even changing up some of these songs as an electric guitarist
A little tidbit of info about the band's music. The Bass player on the first 3 albums, the phenom Cliff Burton, who died on the Masters tour, had a very LARGE part in playing and/or inspiring the riffs in the songs. You, not being a player, wouldn't immediately recognize that some of the riffs, especially on the instrumentals, were done on the Bass, not guitar. Cliff was elite in the metal realm.
One of Metallica's masterpieces, audible art. The lyrics are deep and impactful.This song saved people's lives, mine included. One of my favorite songs.
When I remember seeing METALLICA t-shirts in school was mid 80's Jr high school, and it wasn't the metalheads, it was the SKATERS and PUNKS, lots of different "cliques" in the 80's
Metallica are still gods of metal. No one can ever take that away. This song saved many peoples lives. The fading guitar solos by kirk are some of his best work. And how they keep going long after you think they would end which i think adds to the entire point of the song. Keep going. PS- metallica is the reason many of us got a guitar.... me included. now i have 8 :)
I actually haven't listened to this for 30 years! As a silly teenager this song was what I played when I tried to have a permanent sleep.. thank every music god I lived to only have this as a memory. Has definitely bought up a few feels, I am grateful I can listen to this as a mature lady and appreciate it for the song it is, because dang it is a goody... ✌️❤️🙏 To y'all 😁
Fuck yeah. I posted a long list of suggestions under a previous video. Happy to do so again - or otherwise, honestly the best way to get into this band is listen to every album track by track from the beginning.
James written that song after the theft of a Metallica's bus with equipment, after Metallica's first album they were still a small and not rich band, it was a loss of all their belongings and it caused such extreme emotions. Grettings from Poland 🤘
Love watching you youngsters discovering these classic bangers! Props for expanding your horizons. Love the channel, you come across as truly genuine in your reactions. Keep expanding your soul young padawan.
This just related to me so much when I heard it 25 years ago that it made me start playing guitar, joined a band, toured all over the U.S. Fade To Black was the very first song I learned how to play. I opened up so mane doors for me as a beginner
You mentioned this making you want to learn guitar. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood, live at the El Macombo. You will see what's possible on guitar.
I think people have one idea of what Metallica sound like (that would describe me up to a couple of years ago), once you start to actually listen to then you find they have such a depth of sound and the feelings that are put into their music are so deep as well
Watched two of these and this is the best reaction since I watched my roommate watch the Sixth Sense for the 1st time 20 years after its release. Never saw it coming.
New subscriber here. Loved the react. You said "if you know of any other Metallica songs" and I laughed. Pick one. Literally. Off their 1st 5 albums. Pick. Any. Song. WIN! Lol. Here's another must- listen: a band called Queensryche. Check out "Silent Lucidity", and especially their 1984 Tokyo video of "Take Hold of the Flame" Enjoy!
The instrumental outro = 2nd best guitar solo ever. Second only to the guitar solo outro on Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb Live at Pulse performance. 🤘🏼🎸
Thank you for reviewing this. As I said in my comment in your One reaction, this Live is exceptional. In a personal note as I also mentioned in the other reaction, this song helped to save lives. Just knowing someone else is going through what you are helps. Great reaction. Keep it up.
Fade to Black is one of my all time favorite songs. I love that Metallica songs have a lot if changes in them, yet the changes all work together. Here's another great Metallica song to try: No Leaf Clover. It was written specifically for the S&M album. This album included the San Francisco Orchestra and the song was written for this arrangement.
As a thrash metal guitarist from the 1988-1992, this song was one of our favourites to play at practise at our garage. We played our stuff, got drunk and covered Slayer and Metallica and other bands.... And we always had a special bond to this song.
I'm 48, and Metallica made me want to learn the guitar at age 15 or something. To this day I keep an electric guitar around pretty much just to play Metallica riffs.
This song digs deep in my very soul and literally saved my life when I wanted to end it all. It kills me to listen to it now, but makes me glad I decided to stick around and get the help I desperately needed.
I love watching reactions when people get through the first verse and realize this is a suicide note. It's a pretty heavy song but it also was helpful to myself. The feelings of emptiness and hopelessness are things many people feel. Along with that is a feeling that no one understands them or can openly talk about it, thus isolating themselves even more and becoming and even larger risk of people taking those feelings to their tragic conclusion. Listing to this song for many is a way for them to feel they aren't alone in what they feel. Just that can be enough to help them through it, just to know someone out there understands.
Ha in your last Metallica vids you asked for recommendations and I just said Fade to Black and Orion, then came here and the next one in the Queue is Orion. Nice.
Ive been blessed by seeing them 5 times in Toronto Master of Puppets to the Black album.Best band live you must experiance them live before they stop touring❤❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
The ability Metallica have to convey emotion through their music is incredible, unmatched by just about any other group
The only other group that comes close to conveying emotion is Pink Floyd,in my opinion.
I am and have been homeless before and Metallica's ability to reach into that side of yourself that you find out here is astounding. It doesn't make you want to quit though. Sometimes it gives you a release and you get a bit teary.

😊 Ditto to all of the above... 😈
seen them 8 times live now since 1984, impossible for others
Same here mate..and it not a flex but I saw them twice in one year.😂
They come to England...I'm there..🤟
Yeah I saw the from Master of puppets tour til the black album one of the best bands live ever❤
53 yo. Same feeling

Right.
But his mother gave him that amp on his sixteenth birthday. And that was his last birthday she was alive.
So it was kinda sentimental to him.
Most people think this song is about suicide
I love watching reaction videos like this. You don't say much You don't need to I can see it in your face.
What's really scary about this song, if it was written AFTER Cliff's death, you wouldn't have to change a single word.

Fade to black is my favorite metallica song
By far my favorite Metallica song, and its not even close
This just related to me so much when I heard it 25 years ago that it made me start playing guitar, joined a band, toured all over the U.S. Fade To Black was the very first song I learned how to play. I opened up so mane doors for me as a beginner
Try The call of Ktulu, same album and then No leaf clover with the symphonic of St. Francisco but from 1999
Very good Job ..!👏
Likes must be mandatory for this !!🤘✊
I started to play guitar by hearing Fade to Black ...!
Thanks For this souvenir ..!
One of my favorites of theirs is Orion, which is one of their instrumentals.
I second this

ANYTHING from that show is worth watching…

For whom the bell tolls live
Cliff Burtons opening bass solo is extreme mind-blowing
unforgiven 1 - 2 - 3 listen to them all
Back then they where just bunch of kids: 21 to 23 years old.... very, very deep song... genious!!!
This music has the power to rewire your brain, your heart..your very perspective on life itself.
When you see them live, their music is not old. It is amazing. Saw so many people way younger jamming and I am 50
i love this album. yet its 4th on my list of their first 4 albums. for me, justice #1, master #2, kill #3 and ride #4
This is my favorite song of all time.

This album included the San Francisco Orchestra and the song was written for this arrangement.
This one is one of my favorite Metallica songs along with Welcome Home. The albums of those are by far their best albums they ever created.
Also, been listening to Metallica since 1982'ish.............. LOVE them!!
Dont have to xplain you reactions, been listening to them for 40 yrs, still fukn tear up
As a thrash metal guitarist from the 1988-1992, this song was one of our favourites to play at practise at our garage. We played our stuff, got drunk and covered Slayer and Metallica and other bands.... And we always had a special bond to this song.
I'm 48, and Metallica made me want to learn the guitar at age 15 or something. To this day I keep an electric guitar around pretty much just to play Metallica riffs.
This song digs deep in my very soul and literally saved my life when I wanted to end it all. It kills me to listen to it now, but makes me glad I decided to stick around and get the help I desperately needed.
Best Reaction Channel on YT.
it's nice to see a young individual starting to pray to the metal ;)
Discovering something that resonates with you may change your life
You seem like a genuine and cool guy I could go for a beer with! Keep doing what you're doing!
My fave song since the day the album came out and I had my mom drive me 2 hours to the record store to buy the LP.
I love watching reactions when people get through the first verse and realize this is a suicide note. It's a pretty heavy song but it also was helpful to myself. The feelings of emptiness and hopelessness are things many people feel. Along with that is a feeling that no one understands them or can openly talk about it, thus isolating themselves even more and becoming and even larger risk of people taking those feelings to their tragic conclusion. Listing to this song for many is a way for them to feel they aren't alone in what they feel. Just that can be enough to help them through it, just to know someone out there understands.
Love your reaction to this.
At first glance I thought " OMG, will he be ready for this?"
Ha in your last Metallica vids you asked for recommendations and I just said Fade to Black and Orion, then came here and the next one in the Queue is Orion. Nice.
Ive been blessed by seeing them 5 times in Toronto Master of Puppets to the Black album.Best band live you must experiance them live before they stop touring❤❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
