To me this song is the definition of power ballad. It has the tenderness, the hardness, the vocals, the lyrics etc etc.
And a killer solo at the end
Yet back-in-the-day it was seen by many Trash-Metal fans as Selling-Out..... yet today it is like just so Classic and Timeless as we appreciate Power-Ballads today. Hearing Ray notice the nude pin-up small poster on the mic-stand ...had me realize that MTV because of it would only show this video late-hours... in 92 when it came out.
@@davidw7 I assume you mean thrash metal.
@@davidw7 That can be said for literally ANYTHING... Criticism will always exist no matter how good you are at something. The thing here is that people naturally mature over the span of 30 years and start to appreciate or at least respect the things they used to criticize. Also new audiences introduced to Metallica as a band with such importance are less likely to criticize these songs like they used to when the band first started. You are less likely to criticize Mozart today than back when he revolutionized music even if you don't particularly enjoy his work.
@@PatoChu Yes and no. As a boomer I can appreciate more and like to hear varieties of music old and nerwer. Does not mean others my age and older do. I a local setting bar, club like vollenteer firehouse bar. You play metallica with a older bar or just 80s pop 70s pop and many do not appreciate it. Not their speed in a narrower point of view. Similar in politics. Getting older can also have one get more wrapped up in ways that are not open-minded. Narrowing points of view are also there a lot.
It's allways sounding more emotional and sincere when the "hard boys" do a ballad :) Fade to Black and Nothing else matters allways make me super emotinal :) Love these songs.
I agree. Nothing Else Matters is one of my all time Metallica faves.
To Live is to Die is even more emotional when you hear the story behind it.
Snuff by Slipknot hits hard aswell..
Elton John brought James Hetfield to tears by telling him that this was the best song ever written.
There was no tears
He was kind of tearing up if you look closely@@jannes9945
He said, “…ONE of the best songs…”
James was affected, but didn’t lose it. Peace!
But what does Corey Taylor thinks about this song 😅😅
I wonder what it feels like to have Elton John lie straight to your face.
Elton John called this the best song he's ever heard. Wow. And Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath Bassist) said "thank God for Metallica". That's epic high praise. My favorite part of this video is when Kirk lifts up the Gibson Les Paul in victory after doing wiring repairs. Fixed it! Lol. If you play guitar you get it. Les Pauls are high end instruments. So of course that means they are high maintenance.
one of the greatest songs ever made, you just sit ,listen hard, and just let the emotion grab you...
The footage used for this music video was all filmed for a documentary that covered the making of the Black Album and the first leg of the tour. A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica. GREAT documentary for those who haven't seen it yet.
This was a pop ballad hit from 1991... James Hetfield wrote 'Nothing else matters' to his then-girlfriend while he missed her on tour... it was a love song by Metallica and one of the first song he had written that well mellow throughout... They hired classical music composer (the late) Michael Kamen to add strings to the track. Years later in 1999, Michael Kamen conducted a full classical orchestra playing alongside Metallica in a live concert for the 'S&M' record.
This music video was shot for the 1990/ '91 sessions for the 'black' album for the documentary 'A year and half in the life of Metallica'... If the band members look angry in the footage, it's because they were... Metallica spent a year working on the record and could not agree on anything in the studio... the budget ran over 1 million $$$ and the band members were always clashing w/ each other and the producer Bob Rock... The situation became so toxic that it spilled into their personal lives and 3 members (Lars, Kirk & Jason) all got divorced at the end of the sessions... and James had broken up w/ the woman who inspired 'Nothing else matters'... Metallica spent 1991 to 1994 on tour as the 'black' album sold 9 million copies (16 million in the US to date) and was a huge phenomenon worldwide😈
They are versatile... they can play the fastest, hardest and softest, touching songs and still sound great. You should check out MAMA SAID if u prefer their softer music. Metallica Rules... FAN4LIFE🤘🏽😎
THIS!!!!! YES!
Great reaction vid! You absolutely HAVE to react to "Fade to Black" by Metallica, it's easily my favorite song from them. I think the studio version is the best personally but their live performances are also great.
Its called a ballad. A very well written and composed ballad. James actually didnt want have the band listen to the song as he thought it too sappy. Its probably the best thing he has ever written.
Hetfield is a super underrated lead guitarist. This tune and To Live is to Die showcase two of the best lead parts from this band and both are played by James
He has a great one in Orion as well. The solo right before Cliff's bass solo was James
My controversial opinion is James is simply a better guitar player than Kirk. Actually better than a lot of people. Just because he didn't spend hours growing up wanking through scales super fast doesn't mean he isn't an incredible guitar player. All of his solos are so melodic, tasteful, and impactful
His entire right arm is a robotic down-picking augmentation, so that helps
@@ganole24I don't think your opinion is controversial at all. I think the Metallica community pretty much unanimously agrees that James is a more talented player. Kirk is just faster with his fingers on the solos. BUT, that doesn't mean Kirk wasn't a fuckin badass in their prime. He contributed a lot of iconic Metallica riffs and till this day I still think his damage inc bridge breakdown riff is the best metallica riff ever. That riff is all kinds of nasty goodness. It's the epitome of thrash metal. That riff turned all the way up on some earbuds still gives me goosebumps. But I think they both have fallen off big time. Even James. 72 seasons is horrible in my opinion. It really is the only Metallica album I can't listen too. It's bad. And that's not Metallica bashing like everyone wants to do these days. I love Metallica, always will. They'll always be my favorite band but I can't defend that album. Hell, I can't pick more good songs off load and reload than that one. James voice is gone. He sounds like screeching tires meets yodel lay he whooooooo
DUDE! are you even a Metallica fan?
James is not a lead guitarist he is a rhythm guitarist.🤣 To Live is to Die lead guitar was played by Kirk and James played the acoustic guitar and rhythm guitar same thing in Fade to Black and many more.
This was and still is my favourite Metallica song, I strived to learn to play it, it was ok I suppose 😮.
I enjoyed listening to your reaction to it, you definitely got the drift of it; it’s just a beautiful song! If I recall correctly Elton John remarked that it was the best song ever written! James Hetfield got very emotional about his comment. 🌹
Apparently James thought this was just too personal and revealing and didn't want to release it on an album, but Lars overrode his coyness and got it onto vinyl.
I’ve been listening to Metallica for 24 years this song nothing else matters still give me chills and goosebumps. This is my favorite song. This band means a lot to my family with my aunt died of breast cancer and her love for Metallica brought our family together even more after she passed
One of the greatest Metallica songs, how James vocals comes to life is incredible. And just like all their songs the lyrics and story behind it is amazing
Best part is that the riff for this song in the intro came from Hetfield laying in bed strumming open notes in standard tuning. He thought that low E, then G, B, and High E sounded good
The live version from S&M with an orchestra is amazing as well.
Indeed! Their version from the late 90's with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra on the Symphony & Metallica album was absolute 🔥. The added wind and brass to this already iconic song was just amazing. Definitely worth checking out several of the songs on there, especially since shes already reacted to a few of the originals.
the elevator version is way better
Woodstock 1999 is really good too
"Nothing Else Matters" is one my all time favorites from Metallica 🤘and the poster he held up was the cover of the Metallica black album. This song is very close to my heart and deep in my soul. Awesome reaction!! Thank You! 😊💓✌️🤘🔥
You’re beautiful. So is your reaction. My favorite now. You appreciate the candid moments. Luv ya girlie. Just so ya know, I’m 70 something and tired of young hotties lusting after my body alla time. Don’t bother me, alright?😊❤
i love how you pointed out the way that the lyrics can be applied to a lot of things, which is completely right. From interviews I've heard/read or whatever, James always likes to keep his lyrics open to interpretation so anyone can enjoy the songs at whatever stage of their life they are in, or however they are feeling. Obviously each song has its own like overarching attitude, but yknow.
Nice Reaction! A few years ago Miley Cyrus put a cover of this song on her album and her Producer wanted the intro to be a piano instead of guitar, so he called Elton John to do it, which he did. Then Metallica was on Howard Stern Show to play the song with Miley and Elton Zoom called in and told the story of being asked to do the intro and said that he thought this was one of the best songs ever written. James wrote this song and was visibly shook hearing someone like Elton John say that about one of his songs. They put the video of it here on YT.
👇🏻Hetfield said his bullshit radar was going off. To Elton John🤘🏻🤘🏻
I started playing guitar because of James hetfield 😅😅 I thought he was the coolest guy when I was a kid
Watch Metallica 1989 in Seattle! And I can't believe you said flabbergasted...until I heard it ! LOL
The Black album had many Metallica fans very upset. Many fans felt that Metallica was selling out their sound for a more "mainstream " sound for more radio time. I am a huge fan from the beginning and I will admit that this album was definitely a shock to the system, I still quite enjoyed it. I'm glad they took a chance on themselves, because they reached another audience that would have never listened at all. Cheers!!
You’re right, they opened my eyes to a whole new genre… Being a jazz drummer, Van Halen and Metallica changed the way I viewed music… It was great because I then had thousands of new songs to learn from all that came before 👍🏾
Iron Maiden/Number of the beast… VH/1984… Metallica/Black were game changers for me
@drummerboy2834 I grew up on heavy metal thanks to my uncles. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Judas Priest and the like. So Metallica was right up my alley when this type of metal hit the circuit. I love the new generation of Rock, but always fall back to my roots. Metallica is definitely in my Playlist of greats. Fade to black, ride the lightning, master of puppets and soooo many more! I'm glad you enjoy them!!
@@p0kkitr0kkit34 I’ve been playing for forty years now and I’m so glad that I learned double bass drumming… Makes a huge difference in versatility, like I said hearing those albums took me back to Jimi, Sabbath etc… First thing I tell my students now, go listen to the greats like Bill Ward, Neil Peart etc etc ✌🏾
@drummerboy2834 absolutely!! Learning from the pioneers of the metal genre's is a necessity and absolutely invaluable. You can hear the evolution of the metal world in today's music. Slipknot, BMTH, Pierce the Veil and so many others. Cheers man!! 🤘🤘🤘
i love this song - one of Metallica's best songs (maybe the best) and I love James and his voice
I highly Recommend you listen to Ordinary Man By Ozzy Osbourne (official music video) .. Great reaction as always! Rock on 🤘🏻
@Rayactions you need to react to slipknot snuff and dead memories because they are lighter then everything else
It was a song he wrote to his girlfriend at the time. Lars heard him strumming it while he was on the phone. Lars said that’s going on the album James was against it.
Watch "Wait and bleed" by Slipknot you'll like it... 👍
if you want to hear Metallica with a touch of twang, listen to "Mamma said"
Hetfield solo's are so freaking amazing . . .
bill burr: "you had one ballad every album started up in black and white and when the guitar solo came it went to color"
The reason this is one of the greatest songs ever is because of the simplicity of the main theme. How can such a simple theme evoke so much emotion!!!!??? Only geniuses can make that happen.
An Intimate type of Rock... I almost had this as my Wedding dance song... Instead,we went with Firehouse "Love of a Lifetime "... I Think this would have worked as well 18 years later... Great Reaction as Always Beautiful Young Lady!!!😎🤘
If Elton John tells you it's one of the greatest songs ever written, Nothing Else Matters
This song is how I see things. It’s a way of life for me.
My fave Metallica song, definitely a love song to SOMEONE. The melodic guitar segments always remind me of classical Spanish guitar music. Thanks for your reaction.
Have you heard "Unforgiven"?
You should do For Whom The Bell Tolls live 1985 Day on the Green.
The biggest issue with this song on release wasn't anything to do with the song itself, rather it was who released it. It's a great song, but at the time those of us who were fans of their first four albums weren't psychologically prepared for it to come from Metallica
React also to the 2 versions with the San Francisco auditoriums in 1999 and 2020, they are both magical (the most magical version is the 1999 one)
Love Metallica.
Beautiful bad ass song 🖤🤘🏻
One of the greatest songs ever written, just powerfull!
The guitar in the intro uses a pedal called chorus, that's what makes that sound!
I love this song so much it's replaced Purple Rain as my funeral song. Don't tell the Prince estate.
I’m leaning towards One…😂
react to inamorata by metallica!!!
Highly recommend the tribute version by Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Yo Yo Ma, and Chad Smith It’s amazing and part of the lack Album Anniversary tribute (I previously suggested Alesia Cara/Thee Warning’s Enter Sandman).
OMG Chris stapleton's cover of this is absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🥞👉🏾
@@mztweety1374agree. Stapleton gives it really haunting guitar work.
There's a cover of this song by Tulia that I think that you will love
This song is synonymous with safety and warmness for me. Its so hopeful and makes me think about the good things in life.
She would drop her draws for Hetfield wouldnt she
Find god
Prob not
@@steveooooo4423 prob not within 2 mins, it would take 5 you mean
The funniest comment from James was him saying it was a love song to Lars. He was kidding of course.
nothing else matters is the best balad ever made for foooooocking real !!!
You're thinking is right on track regarding the meaning of this song. They're speaking to the things that are important in life because, nothing else matters! It's all about keeping it real and not sweating the negative noise of life. I love your reaction videos. Well done!
And to think, this song is 32 years old
The Black Album is where many of the "die hard" Metallica fans say they sold out and became too mainstream. While I knew of them and listened to them before this Album dropped, it was the Black Album that solidified Metallica as one of my favorite Bands of all time.
This to me, is the best song ever written. The feeling it gave me back when i was a kid first hearing it.. Just once in a lifetime
It's called Open E
Greatest song in recorded music history period. James Hetfield was GOATED with this and I’m a 80s headbanger.
At the end of the song, in the recommendations comes out Inamorata, it is a very good song to react ! I hope Rachael can listen to this song.
I would highly recommend Fade to Black.
It is arguably one of the best power ballads ever written.
A song about suicide isn't a "Power Ballad".
@@perrdawg-py8my1cl7l The song is not about suicide.
@@HvyMetal4Ever yes it is. You've obviously never paid attention to the lyrics
@Rayactions Metallica Band uses distortion pedals, such as the MXR 5150 EVH Signature Overdrive, ProCo RAT, and Ibanez Tube Screamer, to make their guitars sound heavier and more distorted.
Delay pedals, that creates an “echo” effect and a sense of space in their solos.
Reverb pedals, to make their guitars sound more like they’re being played in a large room.
Chorus pedals, to make their guitars sound thicker and more full
I've been playing electric guitars for over 27 years I have most of the guitar pedals they use and back in the 90's I was lucky enough to able to buy a Gibson Les Paul Custom in ebony very similar to Kirk Hammett's Gibson LP Custom in ebony that he uses.
The best band in the world! Thank you! 🤘
Rayactions really be doing the best reactions! Great VOD 🔥🤘🏼
Every rock band puts out 1slow song to find out who all the fruits are.....loljk
Heard it on a movie ...was worded a bit different but FUNNY ASF.
is a great song tho fr
Pleeeasee!!! React 'IL SOGNO'by isyana sarasvati ft dead squad,you will suprises with the performers
You said “What’s that” when Lars holds up that picture. That was the Album cover this song is on. Referred by pretty much everyone as the “Black album” very few call is self titled album. But it’s the Black album. FYI 👍
Please,
React to Diana Navarro "El perdón" the official video.
She's got an amazing voice.
Thanks.
Pleade do Walk with me in hell by Lamb of God live in Finland. I guess this my 10th time requesting😢. By the way Ma'am, why are you so beautiful🥰🥰🥰
If you haven't seen it, you should check out Geoff Castellucci's group Voiceplay who do a great version of this song. They are an a cappella group, but their beatboxer throws in an instrument for fun. I know you love Geoff's bass vocals.
Since you liked this song, My I recommend VoicePlay's cover of it. They are an Acapella group, but they did a phenomenal job with this one.
hey, and just as comparison for you, strongly recommended Voiceplay's version of that song. Very interesting intensity...
You should def check out the cover with Miley Cyrus with the band and the interview that the band did before Miley sings.
A rare ballad from the kings of metal.
This is highly cover around the world, both males & females., mostly females, strangely.
The Canadian producer Bob Rock doesn't get enough credit for this song & album.
someone should do "reaction charts", cause all the 4929503 reactors on YT reacting to the same songs once in a while! are those the gratest songs out there? we'll never know... :D
Please react for Burgerkill - Tiga titik Hitam
From indonesian metal band ms
You do not have to be politically correct adressing us metallica fans. And @%#* dave mustaine.
That black picture you noticed just before the solo was the guys looking at the album cover art for the black album.
This is Metallica's most overrated song and it's really good, but it's one of the reasons they're so well known, I suggest you react to them by playing this song with Miley Cirus on vocals.
Hey, feel free to keep your glasses on - they actually make you even more attractive. But do what makes you most comfortable. I just wanted to say that your audience celebrates you just the way you are =)
Do u recognize the bass.. Jason, i dont talk about the skills,backing vocals..i just wanted to talk about he was good looking...
Metallica forever ❤
It's not ''stripped down'' version, it's called BALLAD
You don't see James so leads/solos that often, but when he does, they always sound great.
Love your reactions!, Metallica fan since day one, love to see new fans listen and appreciate.
For some more clean guitar, dire straits sultan of swing - live alchemy and NOT the studio version.
Treat yourself and find and listen to Metallica and symphony 1 or 2. It makes their music even more
You must check out the cover by the acapela group Voiceplay. It’s awesome!
Listen to “Mercyful Fate” by Metallica. You’re welcome 😇
You went all introspective on this one…and it perfectly fit the song. I can’t imagine anyone hearing this and not doing the same. It just washes over you and grabs you emotionally and intellectually. Metallica was on Howard Stern’s show, with Elton John in remotely. Elton said right to them, on air, “It’s one of the best f-cking songs ever written.” They all looked like they were gut-punched at that, and James almost lost it. He had a couple tears sneak out even with his best effort to hold it together.
Seeing James react that way still hit me hard. You can feel how much hearing that meant to him.
I think I would say "stripped down" rather than "dumbed down".
Please react to No Leaf Clover (with orchestra). The most beautiful song of them. 😉
I’m just noticed that you are the new one to reacting right? Where is your sister or I’m being confused about previous her?
Listen to Metallica ft. Miley Cyrus doing this song. I no Miley fan, but damn she killed it.
i recommend you the most emotional song about mom listen to 501-mama
Thank's i hope you happy :)
How have you not reviewed Soundgarden, Audioslave, or any Chris Cornell yet 😊
you should realy look in to metallica SM2 and "no leaf clover", there you have James late version with real good voicecontroll
At least you are watching the only acceptable version of this song and not the one butchered by miley cyrus.
