Fun fact: the reason of James Highs happening are mostly because he has been singing the kill em all songs completely on that voice to kind of get a similar pitch that he had during that era, it's like he's trying to imitate his younger self... And he started doing that during the Hardwired tour so he has gotten a lot better with that over time
On the album James has specifically said he was trying to push the boundaries on his vocal ranges to try something different. Clearly all those vocal excercises he has been doing for years has worked
I get Hit the Lights vibes
Nailed it
I appreciate you’re honesty David. That’s why I love watching your content. Not many honest people out there like you that’s for sure. Thank you for what you do for us.
Completely agree! David's honesty and authenticity can be polarizing but I really appreciate it. Thank you David!
This song doesn’t really do anything for me, not close to being among my favorite songs off of 72 Seasons… Don’t like the riff… Like that it’s short, but liked Hardwired WAY more…
Exciter is not on Sin After Sin, it’s on Stained Class…
My 8yr old son fell in love w/Metallica because of this song. He’s now familiar with their entire catalog.
Metallica is heavily inspired by Motörhead and Mercyful Fate (among others), so this song being an hommage to these bands doesn't surprise me in the slightest, especially since they did covers of these bands several times.
Now, we're gonna have to get you to react to some of the other songs. My personal picks:
- 72 Seasons
- If Darkness Had a Son
- Screaming Suicide
And thanks to Charles for making this happen.🤘
"And thanks to Charles for making this happen."
Absolutely, man! You're welcome!🤘And while "Lux Æterna" is for sure one of my favorites on the album, "Screaming Suicide" is actually at the top for me. Another one of the top tracks for me off of 72 is "Room of Mirrors."

@@THEDavidHeretic Looks like that fundraiser is dead in the water, given how little you've raised in the past 4 days.
Unless some miracle happens, you're probably better off just throwing the requested tracks in the queue and react to them whenever you get to them. It'll take longer, but this seems like a pointless endeavour to me.
Diamond Head, absolutely. The lyric in the final verse..
Amplification, Lightning the Nation. So not a musical motif but absolutely a lyrical tribute
Full speed or nothing is also a tribute to motörbreath
@Mourned. it is indeed. The whole song is a tribute to their early days where their set was covers and those early originals.
I love that this album has a lot of references to themselves and other bands. I'm sure you'll like some of the other songs on this album!
Look at them people ganging up on Kirk when this came out and here is David rewinding for the solo with a history lesson. Thanks man!
Please react to the whole album, you'll really enjoy it.

All right! I love this reaction! I didn't prioritize it earlier, cause I actually thought after the charity drive attempt that someone either had requested and put it in the queue, or someone was going to. Then I saw that half of 2023 went by, and it still wasn't showing up as an upcoming reaction, so I thought if no one else has, then I have to be the one to do it! Yours is my favorite reaction to this because a lot of people were hating on this track, saying that it was a weak version of Metallica's earlier Thrash days. It's fine that that's their opinion, but I honestly found it annoying to listen to what I felt was baseless whining and attempts to find something wrong with it to hate on it. For example, Kirk's guitar solo here was the subject of some controversy among reactors, with some actually calling it awful. But you're the first person who's done a reaction to this I have seen that mentioned Hank Shermann with regard to what Kirk was doing! That's why I had a good time watching this because it was great to see that it gave you so much joy that it instantly brought to your mind some great 70s and 80s Euro Metal bands. And that also makes the Motörhead T-Shirt you were wearing a really nice touch during this reaction!
I love that you also mentioned James' fantastic vocals here. It is, in my opinion, a consistent strong point in the "72 Seasons" album. Like you said, he obviously worked on it, and it's amazing to see that he hasn't stopped trying to improve himself no matter how many years he's been in the game. And considering all that he's been through personally, it's inspirational to see him keep bettering himself. It's never too late to improve your life!
And yeah, "Lux Æterna" is their shortest track. And here's the interesting thing: It gives their "72 Seasons" album a unique characteristic in their discography because, at the same time, this album also features their longest song to date: "Inamorata"
After all the hate Metallica was getting for this (for some reason), it was refreshing to see that you enjoyed it and appreciated the music. Awesome, man! 🤘
And about that Silver Play button, if you ever do get it, don't throw it away! Remember, that prize represents your fans!
Excited to see the companion reaction video to this which is you reacting to the Drumeo video drummer Thomas Lang doing Metallica's "Lux Æterna" which is coming in just a few days!
It happened again! I liked that song when it came out, but I heard so many people complaining about it that I stopped listening to it. But you enjoyed it and again made me rediscover a song I thought I've lost
It had the Enter Sandman treatment. It got played a lot as soon as it got released
"Full speed or nothing" is borrowed from their track "Motorbreath" (song 100% written by James)
First, a big 'Thank you' to Charles, but no lipstick and no smoochie. Sorry, bruh. 😂
Second, I really like the song, and David scored it higher than I thought he would. I didn't know about the music history and homages paid though, so I see why David scored it higher. Thanks 👍 for the lesson. I may start digging into Fate.
Third, the Rant... Oh boy. I think this is the first time I've ever seen David go on a full rant (complete with intro). Anyways David, I appreciate the honesty, but I've never been one to DEMAND anything. Your channel, your rules. If I'm not intrigued by the title, I'll continue on. If I'm into it, I'll watch, I'll appreciate the original artists' work, your commentary, your time and effort to create the video.
Thank you, David, for all the FREE CONTENT you put out there for all to see. Just don't let some lazy-language, keyboard-warrior ass hats turn what you love into a f#@king job.
There's MY rant. Feel free to ignore any and all.
"First, a big 'Thank you' to Charles, but no lipstick and no smoochie. Sorry, bruh. 😂"
Haha! No, worries, bro! In fact, I'm all about the ladies, so I thank you for holding back on the lip love! Let's just put our horns up! 🤘

Good appreciation David of Kirk's solo, and his inspiration from Mercyful Fate. Most people have been talking shit of the solo, I think you've given it an interesting interpretation that helps me see that it really fits with the song!
72 seasons for me is an album of despair followed by hope and quite a beautiful journey. There are definitely nods to their influences, which is a great sign of respect and appreciation. Great reaction as always sir!
Also. You don’t always need to pay taxes. Lol
Great reaction we want you to know Dave not only do we enjoy these reactions we appreciate the fact you enjoy it with us you never have to feel the need to react to something because many of us understand your heavy schedule every day keeping up with all these videos but you know there's an old saying all good things come to those who wait and this wait was well worth it and ya I'll say we are really looking forward to you to eventually get to the rest of the album it will be a fun amazing journey and this song did resemble all those bands mentioned but also this was Hit The Lights Kill EM All vibe in a big way you Rock bro keep up the great work we all appreciate bud 👍

I never thought about it before, but I definitely hear the Mercyful Fate influence. Mercyful Fate and Metallica are my two favorite bands.
I loved your analysis of Kirk's solo hahaha, react to "Room of mirrors" and "72 seasons" (the album's eponymous song) I think for you, it will be worth it.
Metallica still kills it after all these years. May not like every song but they are 🔥
Great reaction David. You're the 1st reactor I've heard talk about the overkill fake ending. It's so obvious. Looking forward to more new Metallica reactions 👍
thank you charles for getting this in que .🤙m i honestly dont drink coffee but you can start making at home cheaper m i dont smoke i cant drink energy drinks , honestly theres ways to try to save the money to donate to this 😀
Very nice reaction. For me this is the best song of the new album. James sounded not only good in this video, I saw him do this live and he absolutely killed it. 🖤🤘
I commented once about this song, and was told how the process goes and was totally fine with waiting. So I don't take any offense to what you said, and I agree that people become entitled once the get behind a keyboard.
I was also fine with donating and waiting to see if we get up to the limit. When we couldn't, also understood that once the reaction never came.
It is what you do. You take a shot, and wait to see if you make the goal. If you don't, you say let's do better next time, you don't hound the person to get the result you wanted, that's not it works. Simple really.

Now reacts to 72 seasons track...it's a bomb!

The one thing that stood out on this album was James’s vocals. He made some unusual choices and went to places, vocally that I haven’t heard him do before. Maybe it’s because he’s aging and his voice is changing, but that’s not a bad thing.
I thank Charles B for this request. This guy used to ask for reactions to songs that were very questionable for me. There he is on the roof of the world! I've heard this song before, but David's reaction refreshed my perception and also allowed me to take a much broader look at this melody.
I got overkill vibes as well when this first came out. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
You definitely gotta check out 72 Seasons next. Youll love the entire ablum. Even the weakest song on the album is good. Great video and love your honesty. Also anyone who actually feels insulted and leaves are just a bunch of snowflakes
Finally. You opened up the box and now you have to finish up the album. Let me tell you something, I was extremely sceptical about it. And now I am at point where I listen to it every day in my car and home too. It is good and somewhat special.
Shadows Follow
Chasing Light
Too far Gone?
You must burn
My favs Dave. And we apprechiate you taking the time to look at the stuff :)
Long live metallica!!!
So much Weapon "set the stage alight" in this one. Which also gave them the intro for "Hit the lights".
You hit the nail on the head. Obviously you didn't need to do it and you've stuck to your guns.
2nd, you're spot on with coffee comparison, which is spot on for my area myself, and I do it too.....I didn't hear about the donation, and I'm a little bit short. Well, my broke ass had a whole family's worth of the jinjer shirts that proceeds were donated from. I showed them to my wife and she was like screw it and ordered 6, after she donated to something the week before.
Finally, you set a goal and everyone knew it. Them wanting to throw a fit is an absolute reminder of the participation trophy generation we're stuck in.

that was not a motorhead reference it was just metlallica being metallica
Alot of people said thus song was boring just cause it wasn't sounding like stuff now SMH. This song is awesome and hits just as hard as anything in kill em all
It is a great song!
I went to Thier show in Arlington recently they sounded great
I agree, I saw them live in Amsterdam and I saw the Arlington shows as they werr streamed in the cinema. You were lucky if you also went the 2nd day cause you got to see No Leaf Clover.🍀🖤🤘🏼
this song is just OOZING with STYLE
Its a known fact that Motorhead had a huge influence on Tallica, i know James worshiped Lemmy as a person and a musician
Greetings from florida, I waited and it was worthy, great reaction once again, and yes this album is great all songs, here is the thing GARAGE REVISITED Has Motörhead covers being OVER KILL AMONG THEM!. I know you said you got the garages just because of merciful fate Medley, well all Motörhead covers there amazing. Thanks to Charles for putting this in the LIST!. Peace!… 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I would love to see a review from any song from Metallica mexico city live 2009.
Too far gone is def worthy of reaction.
Could you give StateofMercury's "What if Lux Aeterna was on Kill 'Em All" a shot as well? It's basically a tone switchup to make everything sound like it's ripped directly from KEA, including the songwriting. It's absolutely wild.
The final part of guitar solo reminds me the bridge riff from "Hit the Lights"
Kill Em All vibes
The things you need to do:
Eat
Sleep
Use the facilities
Pay the piper
Flatline
The things you don't need to do:
Everything else (aside from making RUclips content, we like the content)
great reaction and saw them play this twice last month.
saw merciful fate with the reunion of hank sherman playing together a little while back and it was super!!!!
Their tribute/cover of Mercyful Fate on Garage Inc is stellar btw
Hi David, I rarely watch this kind of videos and reactions but last time I saw that video when you talked about charity and I wanted to donate few bucks but the page wasn't working. So maybe the others had the same problem. Sorry for maybe my bad english, it's not my narrative language.
I forgot to say it still doesn't work. I tried few moments ago. There is an error when I click on donate button.
If the problem continues and you would still like to donate, e-mail me or message me on Instagram and I can help you make your donation.
Great reaction, David 👍…next one; “ Room of Mirrors”….🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….imo best song on the album beside Lux, Ina and 72…..
JUNNA did drum cover for this Metallica song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
November
This is one of 12 of Metallica new songs from there brand new album

Isn't "New Age Metal" just Black Sabbath with Dio? I get such a Neon Nights (add double kick) vibe with this song.
The 9.1/10 definitely surprised me
I give the song a very strong 8/10
Not a massive fan of the intro descending riff but that main riff with the double bass is just fun 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
45 min video best get the popcorn 🍿 i see a rant coming
Always enjoy your takes and break downs of songs on your channel. Since you enjoyed this song you should check out StateofMercury. He made a version of this song as if it was on the Kill'em All album. You could swear it was James on that track and it sounds fantastic.
I really like this song. James sounds great. 😀
Song was great and David your rant was 100% correct
check out room of mirrors
this has been all over the internet… maybe you have been living under a rock. lol Crown of Barbed Wire is a heavy deep cut (Phil Rudd ACDC references). thanks Charles
This was a portal back in time
hey David, great reaction. Can I submit a reaction request on your Steel tier? It says I can on Patreon, but here it says you have to be at least bronze
In order to make an official request, you must make it on the Patreon page as a Bronze Tier member or higher.
Thanks so much!!
Any new Metallica reactions on the horizon?
Metallica means a ton to the world of metal. their music in the 80's and 90's was epic. Later albums OK, but not prime Metallica. Look, James still has a really good voice unlike some other bands touring after decades where the vocalist is terrible.
I am tainted by the technical wizardry and compositions of Lovebites now, so this song to me now just sounds simple. Definitely and undeniably Metallica, and it still rocks better than a lot of metal out there today. But the song just doesn't excite me.
when I first heard this I got Garage Days vibes (Diamond Head) a little more in just the general guitar tone.
I know this may sound cliché but it really does sound old school (nwobhm) but fresh at the same time.
This album is amazing and it gets better the more you listen to it. And the best tracks werent released as singles.
i know this won't happen because of the tight schedule... but PLEASE check out some live Metallica stuff from this summer... they have NEVER. SOUNDED. BETTER> (leper messiah from download is a great start)
8.8/10 for me
Surprised you didn’t catch “full speed or nothing” was a nod to kill ‘em all days
Funny has how you are talking about the motorhead I don't know if you are aware that Metallica did a cover of that song overkill on the garage days cd basically all cover of different bands that they loved!
Love Garage Days
I'm big fans of Metallica but I'm not listening this album. St. Anger i still listen but this album was not. I don't know, seem like this album sound boring for me. Seem like Metallica can't even produce song like Battery or Dyers eve anymore. But i still love Ride the Lightning album. Masterpiece for me.
I listening metalcore or deathcore now. Even I'm not young anymore 😅
i have seen motorhead hold it and do it 3 times
Dude, this came out like 10 month ago.
Yup, I said that in the video. What's your point?
Yessss
OK song, but I would not give it 9 for sure. Maybe 8.
screaming suicide next🤘🏻
72 Seasons is a strong metal album. Stronger than Harwired and Hardwired was good.
Decent track. I’d give it a 6.2
45 mins? ok lets see what you have to say cos the song is short af
25minutes for the reactio itself. Are you new to David 😂 😉
@@Owlyross Nah I was watching Here comes revenge reaction when I saw this one had come out, that song is loooonger but the reactiom video is 25 mins itself. You just know he has a lot to say when the video is over 40 mins long
@Gilly-bean exactly. The new album goes proper old school and I'm looking forward tot he day where Davjd goes into the other tunes. That Mercyful Fate theme goes deep in the album
@@Owlyross I can't wait for him to hear Too far Gone and Room of Mirrors. Too Far gone is pure 1981 energy and Room of mirrors just makes me so hyped to listen to, the video, drumming, vocals, solo and the harmony blows me away. I can take or leave a couple of songs in there but I really dig this album
@Gilly-bean same, I absolutely adore Shadows Follow, the riffs and harmonies on that one give me those old school vibes. And totally agree on Too Far Gone, No Remorse tastic
This is the first of the singles for Metallica's new album 72 Seasons
Don't fool yourself, you also need to do what your wife asks. You might THINK you don't, but yes, you need to do it.... Be a man, just do it...
One of the better songs of the album, not a difficult achievement though
No one requested because you keep resisting any Metallica after Justice. 😔
OMG. This is such a fanboy score. The bar is so low for Metallica. I'd bet a "how are you doing" bark from James would get a 9 on here. I've watched a few videos of David Heretic, and I always appreciated the honesty and open mindedness of the reviews. The fact that David is musically knowledgeable is a massive plus too because I know that he knows what he's listening to most of the time. When it comes to Metallica though, I don't think that David has the objectivity to review them like he does everyone else. He's too big a fan. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a fan. However, it does mean that anytime David reviews Metallica, I'll just skip it because I don't think he's going to put on the same critical ears that he does for most other artists.
David, have you ever thought about doing some sort of retrospective on songs that you reviewed and have changed your mind about over time? I think that that would be super interesting. As you know, your brain (and mine and everyone else's) can only process so much the first time that you listen to something.
I have thought about it, and maybe once the que is gone and I can cut back on the number of videos I do every month, maybe I'll do that every once in a while.
As far as being a fanboy, remember I stopped listening to Metallica in the 90's. I wasn't a big fan of The Black Album, and I absolutely hated Load and Reload. I stopped listening to anything new from them after Reload, I never even gave it a chance. It's because of this channel that I'm discovering that their new stuff is actually really good, some of it even great.
Don't get it twisted though, there are still some songs I'm not a fan of from their newer material. I've done a couple of reactions to some of the newer stuff where I just wasn't a fan, and the scores reflected my opinion. If you go back and watch some of the Metallica reactions, I know you'll find them. Trust me, I'm staying objective when it comes to Metallica. Truth be told, I'm still hesitant every time I do a Metallica reaction. I just don't want to lose my faith in them again, especially after I just got a little bit of it back.
I'd actually say that David is pretty honest about things and has been very critical of Metallica through the 90s, and has also been brought to the newer stuff by people basically saying "if you like the old stuff, you'll dig this. It's not overwhelming praise either, there's critical appraisal also
Have you seen his reaction to The Judas Kiss?
@@zephyr835 Yup, there's one...
Sadly this the only decent song the new album. The rest of the album is a turd. I barely rank it higher then Saint Anger.
Just wondering. I'm not sure if you've ever explained, but I was wondering why there is no Megadeth? Has it not been requested? Or are you not a fan? P.s you kick ass Charles!
I think there might be a request for Megadeth in the que, but I'm not 100% sure.
Megadeth is tricky because I was a HUGE fan of theirs. I owned every single album from Killing Is My Business all the way through Youthanasia, and I knew every single song by heart. So if I do a reaction to them, it would have to be a song from an album after Youthanasia.
Fun fact: Fate is one of Metallica's biggest influences along with Diamond Head
This sounds like If Metallica and Motörhead had a baby.
Great reaction we want you to know Dave not only do we enjoy these reactions we appreciate the fact you enjoy it with us you never have to feel the need to react to something because many of us understand your heavy schedule every day keeping up with all these videos but you know there's an old saying all good things come to those who wait and this wait was well worth it and ya I'll say we are really looking forward to you to eventually get to the rest of the album it will be a fun amazing journey and this song did resemble all those bands mentioned but also this was Hit The Lights Kill EM All vibe in a big way you Rock bro keep up the great work we all appreciate bud 👍
