#metallica #reaction #fadetoblack
My all time favorite song. Helped me through a very tough time in my life many years ago.
Same bro🤘🏼
Lot of us out there.
Totally agree. The best song ever written ever.
I feel yiu, their best song
@@leebicke hell yes
Don't care what people say Kirks Solo in this song is one of those classic Metal Solos.
I don't think anyone would argue that FACT!
Goosebumps every time at the end..
I'd argue that fact lol
@@mikesguitarfoundry4698 are you one of those people who say kirk hammett is a "intermediate" player
@@one-minutemetal1290 I mean, he is lol. Do you know much about music theory and technique? Dude wrote some classic riffs but nothing he does is ever unique.
Always love that this song ENDED on a solo fading out......so rad.
Just my life...solo, fading out....
@@kirat666 Hang in there pal.
Ditto. It’s the perfect ending, to this song. Just like everything else, in it, it just fits the emotions & mood meant to be felt.
His life & sense of self is facing out, as he loses himself into some form of tranquility in the thought of it al ending by his own hand.
At least that’s how I take it, & what it does to/for me.
It faded to black...
Spettacolare.
This is what emotion sounds like.
I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard it
true true
Exactly!! Love all the Riffs🎸🤘 Seen them in their prime 4x!! Excellent! This Albums pure 🔥 Thanks Alex!!
if you think this is what emotion sounds like listen to cemetery gates by pantera
I realized something just recently, Metallica especially, but thrash in general, pulls emotions from your body you can't put enough words to, I think people who deal with emotional and mental health issues benefited from being encouraged to use this music like a form of anger therapy, it was a healthy outlet for rage, pain, and just boredom, witch to someone who has issues focusing, and concentration,boredom is a slippery slope, moshing was litterly exercise. Intensely therapeutic. Grateful that music was the one thing my family was very open minded about, probably saved my life.
i love how the titles dont even have "rap fan reacts to - " anymore
man has evolved by opening his spectrum, now my mans learning guitar, and rocking out
I'm like #99!
isn't he learning bass?
New Metalhead react to Metallica ;)
He has evolved
"I was me, but now he is gone..."
*chills*...every time.
Death greets me warm. now I will just say goodbye.
Chills. Every. Time.
Tears everytime for me my man, captures the feeling so perfectly
"je vous aime..
je dois partir.."
chills. everyday.
*oopss...
@@codingwiththebros1314 going through depression and hearing this song might be the greatest thing on earth. Really captures the energy
@@prihanantozh "fade to monde"
Can't go wrong on those early Metallica songs...ever!!
Except for Trapped Under Ice. That's an automatic skip for me
Can't go wrong with this album..
@@ronmo671 I skip it too. But I think it’s still nice, just doesn’t give me the energy that this song or creeping death gives me
@@ronmo671 the fuck is wrong with you....
@@bluecomet1109 it's an average song at best. It's like eating flank steak in between an album of fillet mignon. That's what the fuck is wrong with me 😆
Fun fact: this is James hetfields favorite song out of their entire catalog
I think in an interview he said he was unforgiven
It's mine also
@@briansaldersonsanchezrimac3645 nah all the unforgiven’s where his favourite to write
@@lucusmearolsen6351 makes sense because they're supposed to serve as some kind of journal for him to write about his tribulations with the demons he has. 1st one blaming his parents for his struggles, 2nd one being his relationships, and the 3rd him finally recognizing that his problems are because of himself. They're still there because of the choices he made, nobody else's.
@@jerodwolford2743 very nice comment dude. Bravo 👏
This song brings back a vivid memory. I was 14, spending the night at a friends house, it was the night we heard that had Cliff died. We put this song on a fell asleep remembering Cliff. 😔 I’ll never forget it.
🥰
:(
Miss him. And I'm almost gone.
The Intro is hauntingly beautiful!
It just grabs your soul in it's fist, and doesn't let go until the end fadeout. Perfect, if you ask me.
Metallica genuinely wrote some of the greatest rock music of all time. The Mozarts of metal.
Been calling Metallica the Mozarts og Metal for 30 years. You're the only other person to say it that I've ever heard. I think the classical Icons, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Wagner, Strauss, all of them, would be jammin Metallica if they were alive today. #GOATSknowGOATS
@@janiepowell3218 Cliff would have genuinely fit in with the rest of those composer's time period
At 30 I’m honestly way more into Metallica than I was as a teenager. Something that I’ve just grown to really appreciate.
@@janiepowell3218 I swear I’ve seen the Mozart comment under tons of Metallica songs, along with your same exact comment saying the same thing
@@Jason-to5cs same hear brother , I'm 39 , and up until 7-8 months ago , I honestly don't know I could say I listened to a single one of their songs in the last 10+ previous years. From 11 years old until my early thru mid 20's they were absolutely hands down by far my favorite band of all time , I mean to the extent my room was decked out in their posters , practically all I wore was black jeans and Metallica t-shirts , and by the time I was 14, almost 15 , I was able to put on Kill'em'All from song.one and play through every last one of their songs , start to finish with what I believe was pretty good accuracy on guitar, and was not a song of their i couldn't and didn't always want to play along with all the way through to the ending of the final song from the " black album" , so back then its safe to say that Metallica was an enormous part of my every day life , though for reasons I'm still not totally aware of I just suddenly stopped listening to Metallica , and soon after just left my guitars and amps collecting dust , for well over a decade, and it wasn't until I accidently on youtube have a video of them playing creeping death live in Russia , randomly begin playing through RUclips auto-play, and it was then memories began flooding back to me , and I began not until into this current year (2022) that I "refound" Metallica and all of their music rhat was such an emormous part of my life in my younger years, and I began not only listening to all their old stuff on a daily binge style basis, and have fallen back in love with them all over again, quickly in just a couple months time all over again becoming not just my favorite band by far , but almost literally all I even listen to at this point once again, it having a deeper effect on me , more so than ever before , and began being moved and motivated in many aspects of my life all over again and not just that but I now appreciate and see more musical talent in their music than I ever before have. Its giving me both the long needed courage and motivation to begin trying to finally make a battle plan as to how to try to over come and rise above a few very troubling and difficult aspects of life that I've previously had not the know how or even fighting motivation in me to even attempting to make such necessary changes to begin to over come my problems. I owe that entirely to thier music , and also am able to only just now see the level of true genuine talent in all their music , which somehow I could not see the depth of until now , not even in my past as a very active musician myself. Refinding metallicas music , especially their first 5 albums is even pushing mw towards really really wanting badly to pick the guitar back up again , I'm so damned mad at myself now also for even putting the guitar down to begin with , wish I never let myself do such a thing , hoping Ill be able to relearn how to play such a large part of their entire catalogue once again as I once was so easily able to do , I listen to alotta their stuff today and am shocked when I think to myself constantly "how the hell was I able to play this so easily" lol. So I totally can see where you come from with your comment.
I doubt anyone will read this but, this song basically saved my life, I was going through some tough times. First my best friend died (grandpa), then both of my grandmas, and on top of everything I moved far away from my family and friends (Utah -> Texas)(I was also going into 6th grade). I was basically just trying to make it through life, but in 10th grade I started listening to music everyday and I came across Fade to Black and... it just saved me. The lines that saved me were, “
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”
Thank you MetallicA
How is it possible for someone to hear this and not listen to it again and again and...?
Yeah ... He said years in between..
Like come on Alex ..!
It’s a beautiful song Ik
I thought the same thing. Im 46. Back then, when i heard 1 great song from an album, i was probably buying it asap.
Been listening to this since it came out 1984 I believe. Gets better with time.
Cause they have way better songs fade to black is the worst song on ride the lightning
The song itself "commits suicide", in a way. The final bit has the rhythm guitar playing a descending progression while the lead "soars in the heavens". The drums mimic the sound and energy of a pounding heartbeat as life drifts away. Brilliant songwriting.
The solo fades away, all alone, with only the descending rhythm behind it.
I’m so old I remember when this came out. This album changed our lives. Nobody, regardless of what anyone thinks, can write this good today.
I won't say all that, but not many can. I feel like Vektor among several other bands can write at a similar level.
Dude, I grew up with Metallica and will always love their music--even their newer stuff--but this is spoken out of ignorance. There's a TON of bands that write complex, profound music in the past few years. You just haven't heard it.
This is the song that they were playing in Montreal Canada when James Hetfield accidentally stepped into a tower of flames pyro and burnt half of his body. Guns and Roses were co-headlining and Axel refused to go on officially solidifying his position as the biggest dickhead in rock and roll history
Actually it was in Montreal not Toronto
It was something like 5,000 people he made wait around while he refused to play. The whole show went down and Axel was like whatever, pay me.
@@shanedavidson454 yeah and big riot happen right after fuck Axel ...
@@shanedavidson454 You're right, my bad. Corrected
I heard the crowd got pretty chaotic after James was hauled to the hospital.
I've found some weird form of comfort in this song, i used to put it on when i felt absolutely misserable because the lyrics felt like they described perfectly what i felt at that time. I put it on regularly during a horrible period of my life, in which my granddad passed away, we were evicted from our house and i was doing horrible for school. My mother was also clinically depressed and stayed in bed all day while my older brother had struggles in his relationship. Meanwhile my dad worked NONSTOP to keep us financially afloat but since my granddad was his father he had it really tough and used work as a way to cope. Whenever i put on this song i went through an emotional rollercoaster and it got more intense as the song got more intense. The guitar is so full of emotion and it made me cry out and completly broke me. i often used a blade to cut myself during the solo as that was the height of the emotions, i hated myself and the song sort of encouraged me to do this, but i helped in a way. I'm not saying this to be edgy but the song really made me want to die, but the beauty of it also kept me from doing it. Sort of like "there's beauty like this to live for" My life has gone so much better since those dark times, mainly because of music. It became my reason to live and i'm a very happy person nowadays (minus the ocassional struggle ofc). I'm doing very well for college and should graduate next year normally. We also live in a new house and our building our very own in our free time. My granddad is still gone but i've given it a place and moved on. I haven't listened to this song since because it brings back a lot of the pain. So sorry to say this alex but i'm gonna watch the video muted and unmute whenever you say something. Idk if anyone even read this but if you do, thanks and remember, there is beauty in this world that's worth living for! much love!
If you can take it, the pain builds character. Onwards and upwards my friend.
Proud of you for putting this out there, bro.
@@Flschbrger yeah it made me into who i am today. I wouldn't want it any other way, because now i can more appreciate what's nice in life
Hey we all got are coping methods but I'm glad to hear your doing well now
...Yes, that's literally the point of emotional music, we all know this already except for those who are douchebags and have literally never felt pain...
This song saves me everytime that darkness surrounds me...helps bring me to the light...thank you Metallica...
I LOVE THIS SONG MORE THEN ANYTHING!!!

...and that was JUST side A!
This song is a MASTERPIECE!🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hands down, one of the best songs of all time... from anyone.

THIS IS WHY THIS SONG IS MY ALL TIME FAV OF THEIRS!! UGH PERFECTION!
This is why they’ve been around for 40 years.
Goosebumps! This has been my favorite song for 30 years.
I've listened to this song 1000 times over the years and it's still gives me goose bumps..... Every time! One of the best metal songs ever.
Same man. This song is pure emotion.
I'm excited about your reactions to "Trapped Under Ice" "Escape" "Creeping Death" and "The Call Of Ktulu", these last two are a gem, the last one, I recommend you close your eyes because it is an intrumentation, in which is based on the work of the succulent HP Lovecraft.
Some facts that I can give you about Fade To Black are:
-James wrote it because he had such a tragic moment, which was the theft of advanced instruments and equipment from him, in addition to the poverty he had to get other equipment, that is how James was inspired to create this iconic song.
-Cliff had a greater contribution here because the band sought to open new horizons and fields, combining Thrash with powerful ballads, knowing himself that Cliff has greater fluency due to his highly developed musical knowledge.
-This was the music that unfortunately woke up the pure metal people (true metalheads) negatively, starting by criticizing the band for looking for musical material with soft tones so that more listeners could get to know them and sell a lot of what they wanted, calling them that " sold out".
-This was one of Kirk's biggest contributions with his alone from him.
-This was the music that really made them change the way they played the music they wanted.
-That was also the gap that would give way to Metallica to find a way to be heard on radios around the world, and in which they obtained quite a few successful sales on their album, having a figure of more than 6 million copies ( which is equivalent to 6 platinum records).
-This album was the gap that Cliff would open to have a strong bond of friendship with James and help him work on his musical compositions, helping him first with the help of music theory (in addition to creating another band where they would work even more than James asked him).
- In the time of the 90's, around 1992 to 1993 (one of those years) they had a tour called Wherever I May Roam Tour in which they were accompanied by the dangerous and beloved Guns N 'Roses on their Use Your Illusion tour , in which James was unfortunately cremated while playing this song, in which they diagnosed with a serious degree of two to three levels of damage caused by accidentally cremated, knowing that he could not continue with the show, Guns N 'Roses It caused serious problems and an immense and massive disturbance in the public, which caused and generated a kind of war between the authorities and the people, starting with; flipping cars, throwing Molotov cocktails, looting, robbing and destroying private property, all for the whims of how superb he is (it wasn't because he still is in lapses) Axel, by refusing to sing, since he and his band passed it by drugging himself and drinking alcohol massively with his producers and managers, for making himself the victim of the members of Metallica, beginning with his voice beginning to cause harm and discomfort.
My humble opinion, Ride The Lightning is the musical cusp (not technical because it clearly leads "... And Justice For All") where clearly Cliff Burton (rest in peace, one of the best bassists) handled all the lyrical and musical material, besides that he was the main cause of having internal fights with Lars and the friendship with the producers to make this work very memorable.
"Trapped" and "Creeping" are my fav
Ooh I can't wait for the Ktulu reaction. That song is an underappreciated masterpiece.
@@kybamclane9357 unfortunately yes my dear metalhead :(
@@depechemoderemas To me the whole album is maximum shawty
That last one you literally just cut and pasted from another comment. WTF?
This song and Suicidal Tendencies How Can I Laugh Tomorrow When I can't Even Smile Today got me through many tough times. That guitar solo at the end is the most soothing sound and needs to be about an hour and a half longer, other than that, flawless song.
Both songs for me too and I’d add suicidals lovely to that. It’s my favorite thing to say at work when everyone asks how I’m doing. If they only knew the sarcasm. Lol
And suicidal tendencies song ....heaven .is another master piece
Both songs are amazing! That is Suicidal Tendencies best song in my opinion.
I love both of this songs too.
@@MikeysMorgue Totally agree. As much as I like their heavy stuff, that has been my favorite since I first heard it. To think, I almost didn't buy this tape because I thought the cover was lame, LOL
At a very young age James already knew how to write lyrics that were deep and hit hard with every word in the right place and not a word to many, some real talent.
If this song ain’t played at my funeral, I’m not attending
Same
The final solo is filled with emotion, man. The song is a masterpiece.
This song saved my life :)
Same!
It blows my mind that they were in their early 20s when they wrote this masterpiece. Absolute legends. I didn’t know you’d already reacted to this, I assume it was blocked in the UK as I can’t find it anywhere.
Yeah, several people have asked Alex to react to a certain song that he's previously done, and most of them can't find it because they're from overseas.
I wonder why that is exactly? 🤔
Yeah I looked just as im from the UK aswell and its defo not available for us 😫
Yup... Neither for us here in India. I was completely unaware Alex had already reacted to this song!
@@revyaanshu oh man hi... Kese ho
One of the greatest songs ever written!
One of my all-time favorite Metallica songs (next to No Leaf Clover & The Unforgiven) as I said before in Fade to Black. I can empathize with what James was feeling since I was diagnosed with Suicidal Thoughts and feeling about 4+ years ago. It’s a reassurance to know anyone can have those same feelings in living and never feeling alone like Alex said during his review.
Side Note: I loved playing it on Guitar Hero: Metallica (proud to say I can 5-star on expert at about 95%+ accuracy of the notes). The acoustic, second half and the ending solo makes it a complete masterpiece.
Dude this song cured my depression and suicidal thoughts, and was the song that got me into Metallica. One of my all time favorites.
Guitar Hero is one of my favorite games
Gonna copy paste my comment here since i understand what you feel. However for some this song helped for me it was a blessing and a curse;
I've found some weird form of comfort in this song, i used to put it on when i felt absolutely misserable because the lyrics felt like they described perfectly what i felt at that time. I put it on regularly during a horrible period of my life, in which my granddad passed away, we were evicted from our house and i was doing horrible for school.

My all time favorite Metallica song.
Ditto. 😅
Gah, amen! I hate it when people assume listening to depressive lyrics will make you sad. For some people, definitely. For others, it’s cathartic and you know you’re not alone, and feel seen and/or understood.
My first serious boyfriend could play that intro like nobody’s business, and even as a teenager I realized, “holy crap he’s talented.” I had a voicemail of him just playing it for years. 😂
I love, love, love this song.
Keep rockin, Alex!!! 🙌🏻
That is how I look at it after some depressive episodes in my past. For me bands like Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden were able to touch on personal pain and addiction in a way that was more encouraging than adding on.
@@davidmatheny1993 same with Korn for me in my 20s.
I listen to this song on the daily, I deal with suicidal thoughts still to this day, I’m glad I got to see you seeing the true meaning of this song. Peace be with you all.
My favorite Metallica song of all time. It stays at #1 always, but my top ten shuffle often.
Notice the ballad song are both track 4 on both master and ride
And Justice of the ones he's listened to, but also Black Album, both Loads, and Death Magnetic
Notice the title tracks on RTL, MOP, and AJFA are the second song on the album
Notice the 1st song on RTL, MOP, and AJFA has an epic guitar intro
@@ajpj10 probably they want to start album with a kickass intro😄
@@CMill78 st anger, garage inc, hardwired too man!!!!!
Best song I’ve ever heard. I don’t even like metal. I like rock, but this song just makes me cry every time
This band was my whole childhood and has shaped me into the metalhead I am today!
Hell yeah 💪 me too with slayer and judas priest.
Never believed in suicide.
But this song will play at my funeral.
The song depicts how it feels to be suicidal, but if you think about it... they're around to record it and to perform it for millions who also are around to listen to it. I think of it as therapy and a triumph over depression.
One of their best and heavy hitting songs as far as the lyrics
I was 14 when this album came out and going through some very dark times, this song saved me. Every word in the lyrics was what I was feeling but the final solo was so inspiring, so uplifting so impactful that it showed me that there was a little light within the darkness and there was hope... I'm 51 now and have had battled depression all my life yet this song is my life line...
Amen 🙏
God bless you Maddog.
Fade to Black has always been my personal favorite song. Not because I've had suicidal tendencies, I never had that thankfully. But because it's a fucking masterpiece of composition. The outro is legendary. The acoustic riff is one of the best ever written. The lyrics are profound, is everything.
Holy shit I'm early, I have to be because Fade to Black is the GOAT
I've missed a lot here lately, but damn Mamma Hef, should have been here for this one!
I used to listen to this song on tape over and over in my bedroom just hating my stepdad. I had all the albums layed out on the floor in order just staring at the covers.
Can relate a lot! Just that it was my real dad.
Been waiting for.days Alex..... yay 🤘
Me too, you took your time Alex especially as he said that it would be the next day.
This song for me reminds me of an attempt I made many years ago which thankfully failed, I have since raised two awesome daughters one of whom has gifted me with a beautiful grand daughter. If you're out there thinking those thoughts please consider my words, there are reasons to carry on though you may not see them. I played this song when I made my attempt and every time I hear it now it brings me to tears knowing what it is I would have missed. Yeah, life sucks sometimes, but the truth is that we all have a purpose and value though we may not see it. Peace!
...Go away, this place isn't for teachers.
One of Metallica’s best guitar solos imo
The first one for sure, don't know about the last outro solo
Been listening to this song since I was 7 & will continue listening 'till I die...
U can't beat perfection and this is it epic
Finally!! I love the metallica vids lately keep it up!
They played this song at my buddy's funeral in 1993/1994. He needed the end to set him free and finally found a way to just say goodbye. I have always found a dark inspiration to live in hearing it.
This is the song they program robots with so they can learn how to feel.......... 🤘😛🤘
Like the turrets in Portal.
I've seen Metallica 3 times live, and every time they played this song, I started crying for no reason, is one of their best songs, it's extremely well created, everything is so perfect.
One of my favorite songs ever. I’m glad you didn’t skip it.
Favorite line. " I was me but now he is gone"
It’s so good!
Fade to Black and To live is to die is my favorite songs from Metallica 😎👍
Can't wait to the best song from the album: "Trapped Under Ice" lml
Confession time:
It took me years to realize that "Good byyyyyyyyyeeeee" after "Death greets me warm, now I will just say good bye~" :) I think it's about the limits of old days digital compression.
This song is most solid proof of how simple things can dig deep into us and bring out emotions we almost forgot about.
That outro solo, though. My own personal favorite, by far. I remember learning this song at 11 years old. My, how time flies.
dude.....the goosebumps it gives...this is when Kirk was at his A game.....it just grabs you be the scruff of your neck and takes you on a full throttle ride.
How in the world did you do that, i've played casually for ages and i'm not even gonna try it
@@fredriksvard2603 Oh, I can't play the entire outro. I wish I could.
@@bobbyfan418 Same dude. I figure I could if I put effort into it for a while, but there's still the feel and phrasing even if one gets the notes down.
@@fredriksvard2603 I get lost with the quick parts. I've never put much stock into playing lead. This song, though, it's always been a dream. This, and War Pigs.
Love this song. And they do it so well live as well...
I love this guys reactions because he listens to all the instruments and ties to find a meaning to the sounds
Had dark days in my youth. Depression can be the worst this song got me through. Metallica will always be an icon
This was the song that got me through some very dark times, there was always hope, and this song lead me back from the edge....I played it every day and the album as a whole got me through high school. that was ages ago, I am here still and living a good life because of this album/song. Thank you Metallica. Well said Alex, you nailed the feeling of so many of us.
The last song that Jason ever played with Metallica
What are you talking bout? This album was Cliff before he died.... Jason was on the Black Album, Load, Reload, etc before leaving.... unless you mean live in concert
@@stufrankie8332 clearly that's what was meant, since he didn't record the album with them
Even after 40 years, the guys nearing their 60th birthdays, they are still the snot nosed teens from LA who are just surprised and grateful that someone likes their music... Some things never change. James is always going on about how without the audience, there would be no Metallica... And he often sings "you are Metallica" instead of "we are Metallica". This is outsider music, the songs are dark and depressing if you just read the lyrics, but in the same breath it is also a release for those negative feelings... Basically facing your demons and crushing them with the might of Metallica. James has also said that playing music kept him out of trouble. He was lost as a teenager, his father gone and mom dead for religious reasons. He had nowhere to turn to but music. And I'm sure some of them 50 beer nights would conjure up all sorts of feelings in him and his band mates... This is one impactful piece of art and has helped many cross that bridge and not jump off of it.
Perhaps the best intro/outro combination of any song I've ever heard. So so good!
This is the best Metallica song by musical talent and story, this album is a roller coaster of rock.
MY #1 METAL JAM.
FUCKING A!
I have heard this song a billion times and I still get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Great song & guitar solo
Amazing for sure my second favorite Metallica song
To say this was on their second album, a song penned by a bunch of very young men, 20 - 22 years old... with such depth lyrically and musically, is just phenomenal. I think its songs like this that put Metallica head and shoulders above the rest of the big 4. Metallica have always played the music that they wanted to hear and have never had to pander to anyone.
Big 4 was just about thrash. Metallica went on to become something completely different. Like Elton says, these are classical musical songs, not just metal songs. I love slayer but thrash has such a limited palette and dated sound imo, that's why metallica has more impact and longevity for me. Death metal, prog, pop, melodeath, industrial and so on come and go but i always find my way back to some metallica song or live clip, sometimes after years of other types of music.
They still play this live today and it's awesome.
Legend has it that Kirk is still playing that solo... Bringing hope to all around.
One of my top three Metallica songs always debate between “one” and “Master “...
Hell of a trio.
Exactly. I sometimes include blackened and Orion in my own internal debate. It all depends on my mood at the time. But if I had to pick an all time order, it would be Master, One, Fade, Blackened, Orion. But not much separates 3-5

Alex my man, you are the only "reaction" content producer I watch anymore. Seeing someone personify and express the emotion so many of us felt the first of many times we heard all these songs is priceless. All the "Oh SHIT!!!" , "man, that's heavy" & "right in the feels" moments that have guided and defined rock and roll fans' lives are put on display here and you show that positive side we all feel. Keep doing it Bro, we love it.
Fade to Black always one of my favorite the composition of this song is unreal
This in my opinion is one of the best 3 metallica songs
You really should watch the live performance the thumbnail is from bro. The whole band killed it, but the shots of Kirk playing the end solo are god level rockstar true real life guitar hero type shit. You have to react to it for us.
which concert is that from exactly? need to make sure i’ve seen it too lol
@@alextrainor4038 Truth be told I am not sure where they were or when it was, but the footage has mission Metallica at the bottom. If you search that on youtube it will come up. Its my favorite performance of the song and my absolute favorite song by my favorite band.
@@alextrainor4038 Bonnaroo 2008!
Man, react to Eurovision winners Måneskin, The Italian rock band. They are bringing rock back here in Italy and Europe and that's incredible! Zitti e Buoni and Coraline are two masterpieces
Doesn't matter what is going down. Always time for this one.
Loved your react. Fade to Black is one of GOAT songs. 11/10. Masterpiece. I used to go riding bike alone and listened to this album (and this song much more) in a loop. It is help me. It not easy to live 15 years without your mom.
This is cool,Alex
Keep in mind, they were in their early 20s in 1984 when this album came out. Makes it even more extraordinary. RIP Cliff, we miss you. 🤘💀🤘
The best dark
ballad they have .. This song hits me every time I listen to it .. Never gets old
When I pick my guitar up I usually end up playing the opening riff every time.. It’s so addictive... METALLICA..!
Whaaaat? No way this is your FIRST time hearing this song? That iconic intro lead tho
In my mind this has always been a sort of sequel to Judas Priest’s “Beyond the Realms of Death” yep. Check it out.
And Cemetery gates a sequel of this 😂
Wow...never thought of that and Judas priest And metallica Are my top 2 bands
You outta check out more slayer, the older stuff
Reign in blood etc agree
Skeletons of society Is one he should check out
@@jspntr silent scream
@@yahshgarcia3689 another good one
@@yahshgarcia3689 how bout dead skin mask as well
One of my favourite songs of all time
You are in for such a treat with the rest of the album. Such emotion in those lyrics
I’ve always found comfort in this song and sanitarium .Metallica will always be my favorite band just due to the relatability of their music as well as the quality.call of the Ktulu will be another good instrumental from them!
Thats the thing with Metallica that sets them apart. They are imo the best all time at combining their individual instrument styles into one signature sound. They also have serious lyrics with deep meaning. Not many metal bands have that complete package.
One of the best songs ever written 🤘❤️
That 2nd riff and then that solo are absolutely so emotional and beautiful to the ears....I love Kirk Hammett
