"There aren't any words yet and I don't even care"
Yep, that's Metallica intros!
Can't wait to see an Orion React then.
@@Zhorrua the lyrics version is better
1:10 and the tears already start... 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 50 now and have had battled depression all my life yet this song is my life line...
They were basically kids themselves when they wrote this. Impressive stuff.
isnt it not ever the same... the first lps are mostly the best... u2, depeche mode, black sabbath, tool, aic, pearl jam, soundgarden... and and and... the best are ever the first ones...
@@seelenwinter6662 Back then 1st albums were often the best works because they had years to work on them. After that it was tour record tour record rinse repeat , Bands didn't take years to craft albums they had maybe 2 months. . Creedence Clearwater released 3 albums of studio material in a 12 month period. The Beatles and Stones cranked out multiple albums a year. Even if you look at metallica's output . Kill'em All 1983 Ride the lightning 1984, Master of Puppets 1986, And Justice for all 1988, Black Album 1991, after that the gap grew between records.
@@seelenwinter6662 Two bands who actually killed it with Debut album singles were - The Beatles with 'Saw her Standing there' & Guns n Roses with 'Welcome to the Jungle' from the albums Please Please Me and Appetite for Destruction, respectively.
@@seelenwinter6662 this is their second album, not their first. also, usually the 3rd or 4th album is the best. the first 2 albums are usually used to find their own real sound, rather than trying to imitate other bands. most people also get better at writing songs as they write more songs, and get better at their instruments, and learn from their experience of the previous songs they've written. in metallica's case its more of the latter, where they just got better at their instruments and better at writing songs...they always had their own sound. but yeah, usually the 3rd or 4th album is their best if youre a good band. a one hit wonder band will obviously only have one good album, their first.
@Seelenwinter 666, most bands (or artists generally) who have a careers lasting decades have a period of about 10 years near or at the start where they are consistently good. After that it is a mixture of ok and the occasional gem.
It is actually just James Hetfield singing on this one. One of my all-time favorite Metallica tracks. Just behind One for me.
Those are the Metallica songs that really stand out for me as well. Both of those two have really beautiful intros.
@@PongGod Without a doubt.
I will ride in the car with you on that one Gabriel..
They sometimes layer vocals in the recording to. I think that's what they did here
i’m actually the other way round - i just prefer fade to black to one , but they are my 2 favourite songs
Story behind this song: in early 80's Metallica was on the beginning of career. One day someone stolen all the equipment of band and they were nearly to give up. They wrote this song after all of that for the new album. Song is much more darker than a real story.
Best thing that ever happened to them. Then they went out and bought Mesa Boogie amps and recorded some real killer tones!!
True story. While many people that didn't understand back in the day, they thought it was a song to glorify suicide. But I know several people that said this song saved their life.
I don't know....maybe? I think the early albums were recorded with a Mark III head. A buddy of mine had a dead mint Mark III 1/2 back in 1998 and it had that early Metallica tone....just dripping with it. I wasn't interested in the amp at the time....but knew it was a killer piece. Looking back now....I wish I bought it and just saved it.....I'm sure it's worth a tone of cash. I lost a Soldano SLO100 1/2 stack (in snake skin). $1800. When I came back the next day....she was gone!
Most importantly James Marshall amp that his mother had bought him, that was the irreplaceable piece of equipment that was stolen
Jeremy Hanson
They were depressed by the theft of their valuable equipment and these lyrics are quite clearly a suicide note. That’s not to say any of them were suicidal, but the depression they felt ended up being influential for this song.
Regardless, it’s a song _about_ suicide, not glorifying or capitalizing on it.
When recording the band was 18,19 and20
No, because this was 1984. James and Lars would have been 21 (born 1963), and Cliff and Kirk would have been 22 (born 1962).
I agree with your Dad...this is also my favorite Metallica song, and arguably my favorite album (this or Master of Puppets).
You correctly identified the meaning of the song by the end...it deals with suicide. I once read an interview with the band from about the period when this song was released...in the interview, one of the band members said something to the effect that they liked to write about things that frightened them (such as depression and suicide, in this case). The song fades out at the end (fades to black) to signify the person committing suicide and dying.
One minor correction...I have found that many reaction channels make the mistake of describing a song as "getting faster" in tempo when it isn't...the song gets LOUDER, but the tempo is unchanged (until the end section, in this case). What we're describing is a change in dynamics, not tempo.
God bless!
I love seeing young people discovering the music I have loved for so many years. Keep rocking you two!
Basically Metallica finest moment:
- Acoustic: check
- Slow and mellow: check
- Fast and agressive: check
- Writing: very goddamn good (don't tell anyone i said that about a sucide song)
The little dude found dad's old stash of coke from 1999.
Nah, he's just 13. Gotta remember life at 12 and 13!
lol 😂
@@davew6949 he has the attention span of a rock
Impressed by how Claire picked up on the theme. Awesome how she reacts to the layers of the band & their music. Walker as always was fun to watch bounce around.
ya i would say Master of Puppets live in Seattle 1989 was a very Beatles like performance fo sure hahah
KUSHZILLA,
I was there, great show!
Claire, you have a future as a music producer/Engineer. I get the feeling nothing you produced wouldn't have depth and thought. You continue to impress. Suggestion - Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death or Victim of Changes. Please don't do the live video ones.
IGE - Individual Group Effort , agreed... Claire seems to really “get” the music..👍
I agree. What I like about her thoughts are that she says what she thinks and what she feels. Yes she makes out nuances in the songs but I really appreciate someone that doesn't sugar coat and cover up their words. Some songs aren't technical and doesn't need a technical analysis.
Fade to Black is one of my favorite songs. It's one you can just relax to.
You guys should see them live in their prime! Seattle 1989, Moscow 1991 and San Diego 1992 are some of their shows where they're at their peak. The energy exchange between the crowd and the band is something to behold, I don't think you see much genuine interaction like that anymore.
Welcome Home (Sanatarium) - Seattle 1989
Master of Puppets - Seattle 1989 (this one is out of this universe)
For Whom The Bell Tolls - Seattle 1989
Creeping Death - Moscow 1991
The Unforgiven - San Diego 1992
Any one of these are amazing to react to..although I'll warn you guys there's some F-bombs dropped in a few of these lol
This song has a lot of emotions, that sadly a lot of people that I know can relate to and it captures the struggle of someone on the edge of darkness and death (depression and suicide) that realises that only he can save himself. Happy you like the song it's one of my favorites.
These kids definitely have some taste and some ears. This really brings back memories of when I was showing my favourite music to my little sister, 10 years younger than me.
Watched a few video now and subbing! Keep on bringing the awesome music!
Fantastic video as always! Such a killer song with an epic guitar riff that gives me chills every time I hear it. Keep up the great work y'all and rock on!🤘🤘🎸🎸
Awesome reaction guys, I remember when ride the lightning came out, I was 13 or 14 and couldn't believe how powerful this album is, I interpreted this song as someone just giving up on life but never really knew what James actually meant or who it was meant for, I love this song so much, very beautiful song. Thank you guys.
Great reaction, Claire, as always. Keep it up.
they get it, even the little one high on sugar lol. my attention span at 13 was zero though. must be proud parents anyway, nice reaction :) oh, and they need more Pink Floyd, to chill too after hearing some heavy rock :)
Pink Floyd’s a legendary group and have made some of the best rock music I have ever heard. I just don’t know if they‘ll be able to appreciate some of the groups more experimental work and enjoy the longer and more drawn out songs.
yeah she seems to have a grasp but he acts like a typical 13 yr old who would rather be somewhere else than here
Been listening to Pink Floyd for about 40 years, and they are my favorite group. I've always been of the opinion that you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them.
One of my favorites... and one of the first I learnt to play. It's even better when you play it. Awesome! Good to see you enjoyed as well
This song is about being depressed due to the band’s equipment being stolen in Boston. They were supposed to leave the next day to continue their European leg of the tour. Anthrax stepped up and lent the band some equipment to continue. This is a story that James told in regards to the song. Ride the lightening was a very dark album. Kirk stated that the band was depressed because they were homesick. The album was recorded in Denmark if I’m not mistaken. I read all of this in a blog written from interviews taken from the band. Please excuse me if I’m wrong in any of these occurrences.
It's funny how Walker almost perfectly captured James' facial expressions live, especially on "cannot stand this hell I feel" and "to the point of agony"
Nothing better than watching kids enjoy something that came out before they were born. Even in my 30s, Im still curious about stuff that happened before me. Respect👊
The band has said that this song is about an incident early in their career maybe when most or all of their band equipment was stolen including their favorite Marshall amps.
The vocals are going (I think) through a studio audio effect called a reverse gate where the note fades before the note instead of fading out at the end of the note. When I was your age I wanted to know stuff like that and I hope you do too.
“Its a song so its gonna have music duh” tell that to all the mainstream people,
anyways this is my favorite metallica song, it starts slow on an acoustic and then it gets heavier and still keeps that really good sound that i hear with the acoustic part and 3 amazing solos, this and ride the lightning are probably the best song by them in my opinion,
I love the idea behind this channel having you check out all this older music just discovering the channel but definitely subscurbing you both have great music knowledge for your ages
Im really happy to see you two enjoying these songs, and it is awesome that your dad is giving you his insights into them as well!
Dudes, it's so cool to see you enjoying this song! It's also my favourite song from my favourite Metallica album, just like your dad's. I'm 30 now and I've discovered Metallica when I was about your age. Still listening to them to this day. P.S. in order to headbang for a whole song you need to practice, but be careful not to get whiplash :)
I came across this video and it bums me out so that I never had a son in my life that I could raise on classic metal like this. I bet your parents are proud of you guys.
We all enjoyed it Joel! Thank you Joel!
Black sabbath Heaven and hell also with dio,
Rainbow stargazer also dio
Rush the spirit of radio Maybe you also like it.
I am so happy to see new generations listening to good music... bless your dad for showing you this just like my older brother did for me :) keep on rockin' 🤘🏻 greetings from Chile!
Fade to Black is a song about depression, leading to suicide. The song starts by a person asking what the true meaning of life is, and eventually coming to the conclusion that there is none. From this they spiral deep into a point of depression and cant get out. Eventually they go to end everything, ut as they do so they realize the meaning of life and doesn't wish to die, but it is to late and the Reaper is at the door. As they die they realize life is worth living and shouldn't be thrown away, but they are already dying and cant do anything but say goodbye to the world they know, and embrace what comes next. Suicide is no joke, and I hope no one ever has to think about it, but I know my hope is lost, but to you reading this, know that you matter, to me and many more you matter and deserve to live.
Truest words "a perfectly fitted puzzle" "it just keep layering" keep up the good work !
"Perfect puzzle" a great way to describe this song. Well done!
A lil different is No Leaf Clover off SandM symphony and Metallica the hard part is at the set melody at lyric harshness at the melodic part check it out you will understand
This is honestly one of my favorite metallica songs... I would say top 5 for sure... a reaction to this one would be awesone
@@pedrohgbruno No Leaf Clover and Bleeding Me for sure. Super underrated.
'Like a perfectly fitted puzzle.' She gets it :-) Another fun and great post. Thank you!
Wow you guys are amazing! Spot on reaction! Keep enjoying and love the ride!
"18 And Life" by Skid Row. Watch the official music video for this one. Vocals are outstanding. Singer actually looks like you Claire! Hahaha....
Sebastian Bach is an amazing singer.
"I remember you" by Skid Row too!
EVH the mighty! Are you serious??? Yeah well,still better than Vince Neil i suppose...The music business is unbelievable,Bach has been a washed up since nearly 30 years ago and still around lol Go and lose you job tomorrow and you'll see...
Sebastian was probable washed up 20 years ago. Stupid of the band to fire him....I don't think they ever replaced him? Don't know why either....he doesn't seem like he'd be hard to work with. What does "loose you job tomorrow...."
even mean in the context of all this? Are you schizophrenic or something? How is that relative?
Good choice 👍🏽
yall should listen to these songs. you will love them
1. Orion
2. To live is to Die
3. Master of Puppets
4. From whom the bells tolls
5. Blackened
Great song! Some more recommendations:
Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning
Saxon - Heavy Metal Thunder
Running Wild - Blazon Stone
Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
Mercyful Fate - Evil
One of Metallica’s best songs
I love this song. I listened to it a lot when I was your age. Always love your reactions.
Metallica is my favorite band of all time. The name lead guitar player is Kirk Hammett. His knick name is the Ripper.
Other songs you have to listen to is One, Master of Pupprts and the live version of for Whom the Bell Tolls from Cliff 'Em All. It has the best bass intro ever.
I love to see the younger generations listen to and appreciate the music I grew up on
As a 18 year old teen when i see u guys enjoyin metal and other songs i feel very happy actually .. Hope u guys will enjoy your instruments as you are enjoyin now.. Cheerz❤ Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
It's amazing that song came out on the second record...but it wasnt until 86 in sept.27 that we lost cliff....the song is a perfect tribute to cliff.....his future on lyrics...is crazy...
Your dad has good taste. Metallica is my favorite band, and Fade is my favorite song PERIOD
Literally same
loved the reaction, tnx guys. yup, a taboo subject that they did amazingly
Its good to see young people of today reacting to music of my generation, I was in high school when this came out back in 1984. A close friend of mine committed suicide that same year and this song will forever remind me of him.
No question, also my favourite Metallica song. And one of the first songs by them I ever heard...an uncle of mine gave me a whole load of mix tapes that he'd made (this would've been around 1990), and this song was on it. I was...9 years old. And I was stunned. This song is one of the few that I'd heard back then that made me actively WANT to learn how to play the guitar (and I eventually did), just because of how musical and intricate the intro and solos and stuff were.
This song is the best, it helped me with my depression and it's the first solo I ever learned, it always hits me
That intro always makes me cry. That, and Welcome Home, Sanitarium.
great reaction guys hope you do many more
New suscriber here. I love young ones reacting to the best songs ever. Keep doing it. Hope to give my part with a few ones to react in the future. Greetings from Colombia. ♥
One hell of a composition with awesome fingerpicking and good reefing !
When I was Claire’s age I was troubled and was put in the hospital. You’d always hear this song being played in the suicidal kids rooms. Funny enough, it turned me on to Metallica and still my favorite of theirs. Obviously I didn’t commit suicide either!
Great Reaction, great Song. Please try "For Whom the Bell tolls" by Metallica. You will love it !!!
Many years ago I used to only listen to music from the 50s to the 90s too, but then I realized that there is still great music being composed to this day. You guys should consider reacting to some more current stuff as well. My recommendation would be The HU, great Mongolian rock band
I agree and we have.
Awesome job li sis and li bro bro awesome NAPA racing lid!!!! Great reaction well done keep it up!!!!!
This was one of the first Metallica songs I was exposed to, probably my second one (after Nothing Else Matters). Now, I am 23 y/o and I suffer from mental problems since 2007. Many musicians dragged me through the dark times with their songs, but none of them did it like Metallica did with Fade To Black. The song saved me from taking my own life and I was no longer suicidal after hearing this song. And although I am still suffering from depression, this song is one I cherish with my entire life
you definitely have to check out more Metallica, anything off Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All those are their top 3 albums
Stay tuned... Metallica is the next reaction
3 Years Apart awesome
Claire, you have to face it: you're a rocker; it's in your soul.
In the song james is singing of TWO deaths: the first is the spiritual death of himself that follows a life of pain, leaving him an empty shell with only his agony to fill it with. The second death is essentually his suicide.
"Fade to Black" is a song and the first power ballad by American heavy metal band Metallica, released as the first promotional single from its second studio album, Ride the Lightning. The song was ranked as having the 24th best guitar solo ever by Guitar World readers.
Ride the Lightning was their 2nd album(1984). But The lyrics itself suggest it's a *story of a man contemplating, and eventually committing suicide,* as I recall.
*Remember,* with hard rock and heavy metal, expect many songs that can be based on stories with deep lyrics, some might even be based on true events, some might give off positive messages.
Take Megadeth for example with their song "*Of mice and men."* it basically tells Dave Mustsine's life from his early career as a musicians, about his past struggles and life events, saying live your life, live it well and make the right decisions in So doing.
So, if you want, try to look up the song/music video Megadeth - *of mice and men.*
Very good tune 😎
The layering of one's voice is James hetfield the lead guitarist but he's really the background guitarist he sings and it was laid over so that means it was done in the studio to sound like an echo it's only his voice
The day that never comes live in Quebec
Nah the live in Paris version is so much better. James sounds way better rnow than he did in the DM Era.
Believe it or not this song has saved so many lives xx
Just over halfway through: 13 year old jamming and 16 year beginning to understand the lyrics. Let's continue....
Claire really got the meaning of the song and appreciated the music as it should be. Great reaction, hope to see some more Metallica
Love that song
Coming here from Kid's React channel. One kid there got bored in the intro and actually said that, "Just sing already".
You guys nailed the meaning. Watch James Hetfield absent. He was raised in a strict Christian scientist home where family is all and total rejection of modern medicine. Then his dad up and split unexpectedly, leaving his mom to handle everything. They sunk into total poverty…then his mom got Cancer. And being a Christian Scientist, she refused any treatment, and he watched her just die away, pretty heavy!!! After that, he was pretty much homeless, crashing on friends couches, and very determined to make it big. Really check out James Hetfields story!!!!
From what I heard, the band was kicked out of their manager’s house for breaking stuff and drinking all of his wine in his cabinet. James (the singer) and Lars (the drummer) were obsessed with death at the time and James fell into a depression and felt like he just wanted to kill himself so I guess this song was about him committing suicide. Kinda like a musical suicide note. That’s just what I read 🤷🏼♂️. Not sure how true it is. That’s something you can look up to see just how true it is. If it is true, I’m glad he never committed suicide and they’re still bringing albums out to this day. I saw them in concert in 2018 to promote their newest album. What an awesome show.
that was my first metal song ive heard and i never hear anything else since then ,i hope these kids be metalheads like me in few years.
I recommend listening and reacting to Rainbow In The Dark by Dio, Run Runaway by Slade, Subdivisions by Rush, Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who, On The Loose by Saga, Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider, just to name some.
My favorite song off of my favorite album too. I enjoy the epicness!
You wins a suscription from Perú!!! Love your reactions from my favorites bands Metallica and Iron Maiden
Good job. Nice video. Good reaction. Keep making videos you will do well.
Early Metallica was incredible. Everyone else was writing good music, but they were writing symphonies in metal form.
Metallica continues through all generations!!!
RTL was always my fave 'Tallica album, as well.
Of Course, Puppets was my fave when it first came out.
But, many years later, i always go back to "Ride."
Honestly I think it is great that kids of your age in todays world are reacting to music like this and further back in the years because really it helps you learn about how music and other things were like for older people, music in the 70's for instance was really different compared to what music is today there is no heart in todays music which is kind of sad but back then groups sang with all their heart and feelings, listen to Led Zeppelin for instance Stairway to Heaven for instance lyrics version im sure you will understand it and really listen to the vocals and instrumentals of it im sure your parents raised you well and you will feel the music inside
as far as metallica goes you cant really go wrong on picking a song to react to 'one' 'sad but true' 'master of puppets' 'for whom the bell tolls' 'welcome home(sanitarium)' ' the unforgiven(1 2 or 3)' 'enter sand man' 'the day that never comes' 'spit out the bone' 'low mans lyric' all great songs to get going with. . all great musical peices, metallica are masters of change ups and melodic rifts.. and all with deep lyrical content. . metallica truly are the mountaintop of metal
This was the first song I heard by Metallica when it came out. I immediately went to the record store and bought the album, all other music paled in comparison after hearing Metallica.
What a great reaction to Metallica- Fade to Black; great song. Also, I saw the Nightwish reaction and thought, if you like them, you might like Stratovarius- Hunting High and Low.
Thanks for the suggestion
Slayer Angel of death pls
Yes please! I wanna see their reaction to some Slayer.
noooo. i mean i love the song but they are not ready for Slayer lmaoooo
yes do Slayer/point...nah im just messing,you aint ready for that yet!
@@goodini026 no it will be fun
Cannibal corpse!
another one for my "songs that make me cry" list
Not the biggest Metallica fan, but this one is - by far - my favorite.
I honestly feel James is true composer. The melodies are beautiful and unique.
Missing one inside of me, means he's lost his self.
It's a song purely about depression and how it takes away the person you once were.
It's one of those songs like 'Don't give up,' that's saved a lot of people. That's the power of music and literature. It helps you feel that you're not alone.
This is more than Epic ! Reminds me about all those days gone by .............fifty fucking years plus.............. nobody can beat this number ever.
The most beautiful metallica song forever🤟
Double kick bass drum, almost forgot about that in this song. Probably one of the first times hearing it.
Love to see new people my age enjoy old music and i hope someday this type of music will rise to the top again and nope only james singing in this one
This song is about suicide.
When it came out there was some controversy over it and some parents accused Metallica of promoting suicide, but the band members said that it was exactly the opposite.
By making a song about the pain someone suicidal feels, they wanted to bring attention to it.
And they wrote this song they were not even 21.
The guys are musical geniuses.
When you’re feeling low at some point in life just crank this song up you won’t get it but the song alone would make ya feel better from how you felt with out explaining to someone
