LOVE this reaction. Try "All Nightmare Long". You will lose your minds!
I agree. This song is so underrated.
Talk about nasty, that song is mean af
Talk about nasty, that song is mean af
That whole album is bad ass. Especially the live show in Mexico City
Death Magnetic is criminally underrated.
Amazing album. Shadows follow, You must burn....all of them
I got tons of Load/Reload vibes from this track. I fucking love those albums. Need to do “The Outlaw Torn” 🤘
I introduced my now 13y/o daughter to Metallica a few years back, and she loved them. Now I played this song, and just the beginning made her smile so big. Playlist addition for sure, for both of us.
72 Seasons is Metallica's best album since the Black album. Every song in the album is just great. You can hear that they were inspired. What started with Death Magnetic, and continued with Hardwired, they have accomplished with 72 Seasons. Metallica is officially back 100%.
72 Seasons is pretty fire! Might want to look out for that one! Bless!
the "purests" are. just closed minded whiners... Metallica put thrash on the map, created the 4 best thrash albums ever made, and then went on to create incredible music in a variety of genre's of rock/metal. they never miss, they have created the best music of the last 40 years... the absolute kings of metal!!
Heard this song for the first time today. I am digging it !!!!
I'm an hardcore Metallica fan but these guys loved this song way more than me
my its because they aint hardcore fan
You should react to screaming suicide. Its also a song from the new album
I'm glad they finally came to their senses and added the bass back into the mix more prominently. Good stuff
Its time to react to --->>> METALLICA - EYE OF THE BEHOLDER !!!
Fantastic song! Screaming Suicide is another great one from this album
17:30 reminds me of the heavy switch up at the end of Seek n destroy
After The Burial - "Nothing Gold"
James vocals have changed a lot over the years. I love his vocals.
I prefer the James from Master of Puppets.
@@thebob01 he had a choice between continuing his old style and… retaining his ability to speak lol
I may be in the minority, but my favorite era of his voice is the Load/reload/garage inc. . still sounds great tho
100% y'all need to listen to Metallica's "Bleeding Me."
EDIT: As mentioned in the comments, I do recommend listening to the S&M version which many believe, myself included, is the superior version.
My all time favourite Metallica song
Skal 🍺🍺🍺🍺
So glad I'm not the only one. I've been discovering over the past 3 or 4 years or so that LEGIONS of fans find that to be their unadulterated BEST.
Yes 👍
People talk shit, but I really like Load and Reload. A lot of variety on those 2 albums.
Load and Reload - I could have cried when I heard them in my late teens and early twenties. It wasn’t my Metallica. In my mid-40’s, both albums now make me cry because they’re so good.
Never thought watching people hear a song for the 1st time would be entertaining, but yall are dope and I love your take on all genres of music
every day! lol
They're the best!
Yeeaahh
Metallica - one reaction is nnaassty
NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. I'd rather hear something off of Death Magnetic. All three singles day of release suck, to me they sound like b-sides from st. Anger. Megadeth's new album was definitely sounded better than this
Inamorata on the album is simply fantastic
seriously.. i’ve been waiting on these motherfuckers to react to it for a while now.
That is my favorite MetallicA song.....flying the MetallicA flag since Garage day re-revisited and CLIFF EM ALL. Inamorata is currently getting me through rough times.
Def not lol Too commercial for LIV, shit is watered down sounding like a lesser version of a song that would be on the Black album.
Please do this guys :(
@@joshuabennett8110isn’t it insane how good it is?
If Darkness had a son, he'd believe in a thing called love.
Lol!
Gold!!
😆
They’ve gotta do some Darkness! Think they’d go crazy for Love on the Rocks with No Ice 😂🤘
I love it I feel the same.........
Wicked and happy 😁
If you have been a fan of their earliest music, what more could you ask for 40 years later. Still putting out bangers!
@ghost mall Passion, Energy and Creativity... (Lack you said.). I just think exactly the opposite. This song is all Passion, Energy and Creativity.... But, yes, everyone has a different perspective.
@ghost mall Absolutely, paining by numbers, lack of fresh ideas. ‚Temptation … Temptation … Tenptation … Temptation‘ Yawn…
Agreed
@ghost mall make sure you come back and tell everyone how much energy you have when you are 60 years old. No band in history still had new quality music beyond 30 years. And you wanna critique the fact they don’t act like they are 21 lol
@ghost mall never said it was. Doesn’t mean it isn’t still good. That’s like saying LeBron sucks at basketball because he was better 8 years ago smh
I had the same reaction @17:28 that they did, this song has transitions like what they used to do......Great song, great reaction
Man James vocals are really heightened on this one.
I was literally laughing out loud at 17:28.
Love you, guys
" If And Justice and Reload had a son... here I am..."
Dude i just laughed out loud... nice one
I agree 💯 but still whorishly love, love, LOVE IT!🤘⚡🔥
Don’t drink that hoooooly water!
@@jasonkouches9467 I've already drank both our portions and have ordered a custom $500 craft brew package of Holy Darkness Water IPA🤘
this song gets better the more times i hear it
Literally same that’s how it be with every metallica song, especially these three singles from 72 seasons so far. (Not Lulu though)
@@jacobfurst4266lulu has like 3 good songs but yeah the rest are bad
@@nestorramirez8086 which songs did you like from it? Maybe I’ll try them again and have the metallica effect kick in
@@jacobfurst4266 Lulu is a tough listen... and i dont mean a "complex" listen lol
I agree
All the albums have something to offer. I love Metallica.
This has Of Wolf and Man vibes written all over it- my faveourite track off that Black album
Mine too
It also kind of sounds like eye of the beholder
no
If Of Wolf and Man and Eye of the Beholder Had a Son
Hear bits of that, and also bits of Eye of the Beholder.
We need reactions to Room of Mirrors and Inamorata from the new “72 Seasons” album! Both are 🔥🔥
James's voice is at its best on all songs so far
Sounds like death magnetic , James voice sounded good I’m that album
It has that gruffness. I hate when he sings with no shouting whatsoever.
I personally hate the way he sings and have been hating it since St. Anger
James' singing saved Lux Aeterna. Would've been a flop otherwise.
Jame’s vocals have been the highlight of this record for me!
Man don't listen to the "post Justice" haters. If any other rock band would have released Load or Reload, they would have been called classics. People butthurt too much because they didn't copy/paste their first 3 albums, that's all.
They made their mark, they changed metal, they have their hall of fame entry, there is NOTHING they need to prove anymore.
People expecting a bunch of 60 year olds to put out songs like they were in their 20's, I mean...wtf...
The vast majority of those two albums have never been played live. Load of crap, and left over Reload of crap. Ha!
Yea they are just metal Karens
@@mikehauncho4874 They've played at least 17 of them live I think
This is the best song of the three that have been released so far, the more I hear it the better it gets!
I'm a big metallica fan but this song is too long and repetitive. James' voice sounds great but the riffs and solo cant save its length. Hopefully there will be some gems on this album though, but I'm starting to get worried after the 3 singles.
If KISS has taught me anything, it's that whatever era you grew up in is your favorite
I knew you guys would appreciate that outro haha Damn fine metalheads you guys have become
Really hope y’all react to some songs off of Death Magnetic (the album before Hardwired) one day as others have mentioned before this album was a return to their roots while still sounding fresh at the time.
The best of the 3 new singles, so far.
Don't let haters talk too much. Metallica are the fucking best. They write and compose great music, simple or technical. At 60, it is amazing to listen to Hetfield blast out amazing vocals. Lars never gets the respect he deserves
To me, this song sounds almost like what we’d get if Metallica immediately swerved back to their Black Album sound after Load. Parts of the song sound directly taken from Load (like the guitar hang after the intro, sounds like the opening to King Nothing, some of the vocal work sounds like Load/Reload) while the instrument sound (especially the bass) and the song structure is closer to Black Album.
I think it’s hard to fully appreciate a song like this if you’re someone who grew up with Metallica and keep crossing your fingers to feel the magic you felt when you first discovered them. But I think this song, if it were released by just about any other band, would be treated with a lot more respect than it’ll be given because it’s Metallica.
Also, PLEASE do Bleeding Me. It’s one of Metallica’s best songs overall and it’s on Load. I think it’ll be one of those songs that sneaks up on you, maybe you won’t feel it at first but by the end, when the song it taken as a whole, you’ll feel much differently.
More like what should have come out after AJFA and before the Black Album
There's more than a little Death Magnetic in this one, too. I specifically hear "The Day that Never Comes."
Personally, I haven't been thrilled by any of the singles from this new album. They all sound like retreads, and they're all so damn long (and this coming from someone with a friggin Joanna Newsom pfp that used to be an Opeth pfp...).
I have thought exactly the same thing about so many Metallica songs - "If any other band had made this..." Metallica has the best and worst fans of any band in history. You are so right about the music being tied into nostalgia for lost teen years. I'm about the same age as the band so have been there for the whole journey. I guess I grew and evolved with them because I haven't been mad at anything they have put out (especially when hearing it live). The songs off Load and Reload are some of my favorites. I like Death Magnetic and am always amped when they play All Nightmare Long or The Day That Never Comes. HWTSD was great. I like these new ones so far too. However, I had so many idiot friends who burned their Metallica shirts when the Black Album came out, who ran over Load CD's with their cars lol. Met "fans" are an odd bunch. I do go to a LOT of shows and it always makes me laugh when The Memory Remains gets played. They whole crowd keeping that ending melody going forever and I KNOW those are some of the same people that called it trash.
Bleeding Me is in the top 3 for Metallica songs for me. Great lyrics, excellent musicianship, and one of James’ best vocal performances if not his best.
@chim-choo-ree Yes, it has some modern Metallica in it too.
The song in general is very good but from the solo to the outro it's something special. You right that ending transition is dummy sick, that rhythm at end just hooks into my bones.
I love how the only way to compare Metallica is to compare them unto themselves. They are and always will be Metallica...and that's it!
I'm glad George mentioned the drums taking him back to hip hop because as I listened to this song for the first time right after I listened to Nicki's Red Ruby Da Sleaze, I thought that If Darkness could be a good song to introduce a hip hop elitest to metal. The guitar, the pace of the song, everything I thought was perfect to have anyone with interest in the genre to listen to for the first time.
Sorry, I meant "Red Ruby The Sleaze". I can't edit comments on my app for some reason.
EDIT: Your WOOOOOO in unison at 17:28 cracked me up.
Contrary to some opinions, Metallica never went anywhere, they never fell off. They are the most successful metal band of all time. Their true passion is playing live so they don't release albums as frequently as other bands that have been around as long as they have. They sell out venues wherever they go. Their audience contains 70 year olds and 17 year olds. Only heard 3 songs off this album and so far, I feel like they are making music they can play live and sustain over the next several years. Bottom line, I am happy they are still releasing music and can't wait to hear these live. You 2 didn't really like "Battery" but that song comes to life in an entirely different way when played live. Long live Metallica!
As much as I love Metallica (they were the band that got me into metal as an early teen with Master), Reload and especially St. Anger were definitely "fall off" territory. Death Magnetica was an uptick, but Hardwired to Self Destruct didn't do much for their catalogue. In any case, this new album has some good promise.
Contrary to your belief they definitely fell off.
Agreed. Only album i didn't really enjoy much was St Anger but i know quite a few people that love that album.
This song alone can answer the question why they are still one of the greatest band ever exist.
Exactly, and live it will be even better
🇲🇾
why? this song is so bad
@@JacobsKrąnųg Agreed...this whole album sucks.
@@F3502000 both y'all are trolls no one cares
"Room Of Mirrors" is the best track off of the album. Definitely the most complete.
That or too far gone? They’re both amazing tracks.
Easily my fav single so far. Found the other two quite disappointing but this one kicks ass. And you gotta do more Megadeth guys pleaaase! Sweating Bullets, Wake Up Dead and Set the World Afire 🤘 also think you’d dig Dogs of Chernobyl and Celebutante off the new album
On point review, and I'm really happy that you acknowledged Lars' greatness in this song. His playing is deceiptively simple, but he has so much swagger and power, actually very few drummers can do what he does, contrary to "popular belief".
It’s always funny to me that drummers always say how good he is, but randoms always say how much he sucks lol
@@jjschmidli8896 True. I guess mediocre and ignorant John Does need to feel superior to someone and criticize in order to feel good about themselves ?
@@laporte1625 for sure. We’ve all been on social media long enough to know that’s true😂😂
I think he is very creative. Rarely plays a simple beat: he adds a lot of flavor. His haters are ridiculous
@@imnotanalky exactly! World renowned drummers like Mike Portnoy and Brann Dailor put them in their all time top ten lists. Trolls on the internet say he sucks lol
17:19 that guitar stretch sounds evil.....like that sound in Psycho the movie. I remember Aerosmith used that to open their concerts with the stage lit up in red strobe lights. I hope Metallica does this live with some evil lighting.
Now hold up. No disrespect at all, but I have to ask… how many songs have you guys done from Load? Reload? Death Magnetic?
Outside of a couple of outliers you’ve only done songs from those first four records the “metal elitists” preach. Branch out and try some of the more maligned stuff. U may be surprised. I’d suggest “Bleeding Me” off of Load. Don’t care what anyone says, that song slaps.
Try reviewing a band called Vola
Their in their 60s. It’s an evolution of all their years. Theirs Kill em all in there. Load/reload. I love Slayer but every album doesn’t need to be reign in blood. Solid new songs. Life changing? No. Solid. I hope I’m still this good at what I do when I’m 60. Metallica are the Goats.
People forget that they're getting older and arent as aggressive as they could be. Metallica is my favorite band and they have variation and are purely unique instead of stuck in one mode
Crown of Barbed Wire off their new album is heavy and nasty!! Y'all would definitely dig that one
Class of 89 here....This took me back. This had the old school sound. I really like this .
I know you’ll be focused on this album for the time being but I’d love an all nightmare long reaction
To a Metallica purist, I agree with you.
Love this song.
After the Black Album they lost the plot, but I think Death Magnetic was nice return to form.
A lot of people simple hate on them because it is "the thing to do at this point."
These guys need to listen Death Magnetic! So underrated IMHO
Load and Reload are good albums. This song, however, sucks ass.
@@K1ng69Floyd I did and It's really not that good. I don't hate on them, but even this new song is a bit uneventful, imo.
They will probably never top their first 5 albums and that's ok.
@@lenni-hazels not many bands could. That was probably the best run of albums of any 80s/90s rock/metal act. I just wholly disagree with the notion that the mid 90s and early 2000s stuff was bad.
You realize the hate is coming from diehard fans right? It's not the thing to do. It's just that Death Magnetic is far inferior to any of the first 4 albums. It's not even up for debate. You don't think the diehards actually want something incredible from Metallica?
Really enjoyed this song, James’ vocals reminded me of the Load era. Also loved Georges basketball analogies. I highly recommend No Leaf Clover y’all would love it. The TOOL fan in me also wants a Vicarious reaction soon plz😂
Please react to bleeding me. You guys would trip out
The drumming is better so it makes the song better....he's actually doing fills and mixing it up with halftime which makes the song much more immersive and impactful!
I Agree that the drums sound cool and has different parts, but there are not fills in this song ..just change of tempo and the " Eye of the Beholder double bass" part.
@@victorherrero4790 No there are fills. Mostly snare rolls, but some toms in there too.
@@NandR very few man...Lars went really minimalistic in this song. Very few snare rolls, a few toms. The song could have been way better with more fancy drumming.
What they said about them being held to such a high standard they’re newer work doesn’t get the respect it should
the way the guitars sound the way the drums sound everything sounds crisp clean heavy and fast and james vocals sound good man everyone's playing man
They could of had this on Load. By far the hardest song off of this album and the drop closer to the end is stellar!
Trust me this is going to be straight up fire live,Metallica still kick ass even though they are nearly in their 60s
Source? Trust me bro.
@@moondawwg if you know, you know bro
They're not quite in their 60's yet! (Only Kirk, who is 60)
@@jochencooper2751 No bro they truly suck live. And i mean high school band kinda suck. They have been the laziest triple A band since the late eighties.
@@Hoscitt oh sorry in their 59 and a half's then, my bad
Great video
Can you do Bleeding Me by Metallica

S&M Version of Bleeding Me!! Not only my favorite Metallica Song, but one of my favorite songs in General. The meaning behind it is deep, or at least how I perceive it. (99 Woodstock Version is a banger too)
Reminds me of Broken, Beat, & Scarred
"This is Wizards Jordan" was an excellent analogy. I'd say Metallica's still putting up 20 a game.
Honestly yeah. A lot of people have this idea that Jordan was washed on the wizards, but he was still amazing and leading the team to the playoffs before injuries.
Metallica albums (basically post-Justice) that haven't been touched on the channel:
Load (Bleeding Me, Until It Sleeps, The Outlaw Torn, Ain't My Bitch, Hero of the Day, King Nothing, Mama Said)
Reload (Fuel, The Memory Remains, Unforgiven II, Devil's Dance, Fixxxer)
S&M (No Leaf Clover and Minus Human)
Death Magnetic (Cyanide, All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes, Unforgiven III)
Metallica fans who only like thrash don't like these albums at all, but only because it's not trash. The only reason these albums are trashed on is because it's not what the first albums sound like. It's not a bad thing that it's different. There's some really good music here.
There are bangers on all of those that deserve a listen.
If I had to choose a select few for y'all:
Bleeding Me
The Outlaw Torn
Fuel
No Leaf Clover
The Day That Never Comes
All Nightmare Long
id add suicide and redemption to DM it is a masterpiece IMO
@@brianthiebold that's true, very underrated
Kirk is 0 for 3 on these solos. Lazy, undisciplined, same shit attitude that got him in trouble with the Unforgiven solo recording. Not doing his homework.
James does sound amazing. Twenty years ago we were worried about him.
Rob is fantastic stability on bass. If it wasn’t for him, God only knows where they’d be.
I think many Metallica fans are worried about Kirk though.
Of course this is respectable. All of the song's they've released from this album so far are respectable. But not what they used to be while being exactly what they used to be. What I mean is it all sounds like something that they've done before, not the exact musical arrangement but the overall sound is the same as what they've done before. It feels like they know what works and they are just riding that safe wave instead of venturing out to new waters. What made Metallica so great throughout the years is their confidence to do new things and experiment with sounds that may not be appreciated and even if upon release the fan's didn't like it given time they found their way into everyone's hearts. But this feels too cookie cutter and safe. Don't get me wrong, I like all the songs so far but they aren't advancing music like they used to. In all fairness they are aging and they have contributed so much to music that they have a right to relax now. It's just that this album so far sounds like something released in between two bigger albums as just a filler album for them to stay in practice.
Fucking love this reaction 😂 exact same reaction I had on first listen. That nasty bottom end riff that keeps coming back in is just a thing of beauty.
The amount of people that say "they dont sound like AJfA, MoP, nothing compares to those albums".... they were angry, passionate, enthusiastic and in their 20's out to make a name for themselves. Now theyre making music cause they love what they do... just appreciate the shit they put out and listen to it with an open mind. I personally love DM and Hardwired, some of their best stuff is on those albums. Nothing beats the thrash metal of the 80's yes but people are allowed to evolve and experiment, as Metallica have done over the years, successfully IMO
All nightmare long is faster and heavier than most of the 80's songs
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This isn't about not having an open mind. I can go from Cattle Decapitation to Devin townsend then straight into Low fi then come around to Solstafir and roll right into Japanese city pop. The problem is they have a hit and miss with the riff writing and the vocals just aren't cool. They just plain miss the mark half the time in just a single song let alone a whole album.
Lars’ whole mantra post Black Album has been “make the music swing”. He is always about the groove and making song have a great rhythm and pulse. He also plays on the back-beat which gives it a particular sound as well. I think all those Jazz records that his old man was listening to in his youth rubbed off on him. Great reaction guys! Hopefully you will do more once the album drops. 🤘🏼
Have you guys ever done Death Magnetic, Load or Reload? Death Magnetic has some pretty great Thrash tracks while the Loads are a bit more on the swagger side of things. Would be good to see you guys tackle some of their tracks, especially some of the longer Load and Reload songs that are usually considered the high points of those albums
The Load and Reload albums as a whole I like far less than the 80s albums in their entirety. But I love Bleeding Me, Outlaw Torn and Low Man's Lyric as much as anything they have done. The 80s, I love entire albums. The 90s, its more pick and choose.
In my opinion the start and the ending of this song are amazing! The "TEMP-TA-TION part is also really good, as well as the pre solo riff. But the rest just lacks something to me...idk. The solo is all over the place, doesn't fit the song and seems very uninspired, even though the rythym section hits hard. The main riff is good, but overplayed, and the intro builds us up amazingly but when the whole thing explode it feels to me like "wait, that's it? That whole hype for this?"
I have mixed feeling about this song hahahahaha it's good overall and has great moments, but it just lacks something to me.
This song has a "Wherever I May Roam" feel to the main riff.
I really really think you guys would like a lot of the blues metal found on Load and Reload.
Been waiting for you guys reaction. Was what i expected! Dope.
Watched other dudes reactions. They are bs compared to u guys.
I am SO happy to see you guys still enjoy doing this. You really brighten up my day with this! So much love to you!! :)
Great reaction!!)) Metallica rules!!
I think Kirk's been doing the same solo for every new song since 2008. The only two that barely stick out are Spit Out The Bone and Day That Never Comes.
This song and Screaming Suicide is much better in my opinion than Lux Eternal.
One of your best reactions yet. Gotta say, Lost in Vegas + Metallica is still the best for me. Leaving this one on a loop for awhile.
You guys need to give And Justice For All and the Black Album the Master of Puppets treatment and finish them off.
I'm surprised about this song it's actually really good
You guys should listen and react to the full new Album, 72 Seasons! It's a great listen.
4:08 The guys channeling Beavis & Butt-head energy...
Hahaha, true. I'm quite surprised I didn't notice at first, considering I'm a fan of B&B. Now I'm pretty sure these guys have done that a couple of times before when reacting to Metal. That was kinda funny though...
Kirk Hammett - "High Plains Drifter"
Megadeth - "Dogs Of Chernobyl"
If you like those slow, groovy breakdowns, definitely give a listen to Machine Heads "Davidian"....arguably one of the heaviest outros of all time. Also the drums of Chris Kontos are pure insanity!
Oh Machine Head were amazing. Chris beat the hell out of those drums for Davidian. Love it!
Volbeat, Shotgun Blues. Please!
Kings of Music….period 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
The lyric Temptation goes back to the St. Anger recording sessions. it wasn't ever used until now.
Maybe if I just scream Temptation over and over, people won't realize I didn't write any lyrics.
@@mikehauncho4874 nice try
Been listening to Metallica since the early 80’s one of my favs but doesn’t mean I’m gonna like every song the put out so far out of the 3 new songs they put out this is the best one and seeing then live you will not be disappointed they sound just as good
Thankfully Metallica are one of the few bands you can get more excited about hearing a live version of a new song compared to the studio version. I bet this one will be 🔥.
That's my favorite of the 3 new tracks released so far. It's for sure an ear worm. I've been humming it for a week straight.
Check out The Warning. Three sisters from Mexico who had a viral cover of Enter Sandman as kids back in 2014. They parlayed it into a career and are about to hit it big.
If you like the slow fat riffs PLEASE listen to No Remorse. It has such a fat riff
Pantera style riffing at the end, Dime would be proud ..you guys should check out 5 minutes alone by Pantera
They're not gonna touch anything involving Phil Anselmo unfortunately.
It’s a great Song!! I lIke it a lot!!
Do Meet your maker by In Flames! You should love that one.
We need 90’s Metallica reactions from our boys Lost in Vegas!
They have a couple, check their older videos
Definitely! Bleeding me, Outlaw Torn, Devil’s Dance.
@@facelessandnameless it’s definitely gotta be Devils Dance or something with groove. King Nothing or Ain’t My Bitch.
