Rob Zombie said, "Black Sabbath created Heavy Metal, but Metallica perfected it."
Amen 🙏
I want to like this comment, but I don't wanna screw up the number.
@@cainguardian4693 You can now. :P
Sabbath Rules !
Always loved megadeth lil more
Im a 50 year old man who's incredibly impressed by your deep, insightful and mature attitude. In today's world, THANK YOU LFR.
Since ancient times (and maybe even before), all generations think, that the following generations aren't as "good" as they were. A lot of people even wrote about it, for thousands of years now. An still, we're all relatively the same.
That being said, I too doubt the younger generation sometimes (I'm only a human after all xD) and people like him in the video show me, beautifully, that I'm wrong. As all the generations before me have been. ^^
could not agree more...Jojo takes a moment to think and process, which is heads and tails above many a reviewer/reactor on RUclips. Keep internalizing it all Jojo!
Amen
Likewise, as a "Boomer" I'm impressed with your thoughtfulness and maturity. You're become my favorite reactor. Well done.
Joni, nor LFR….that is a “family” of artists whom review music…
Ride the Lightning is one of the greatest metal albums ever recorded. Sadly I feel like it's completely forgotten about today just how influential it was.
I learned to play guitar with For Whom the Bell tolls
The lyrics of the whole album was so mind blowing at that time, because we knew that Metallica kick a** from Kill Em All, but the vision of Ride The Lightning, was these different ways of dying, even going back to biblical times, with Creeping Death. So many different perspectives also. A masterpiece.
Justine Bieber loves it. It hasn't been forgotten.
@@redrick8900 i don’t even care about that guy or his opinion. I never will.
@@elephant12503 too bad you didn’t know what punctuation is
Metal is not defined by fast or loud, but by being real and raw. Presenting the truth and reality of an emotion, and giving it sound.
Imagine......Lars, James, Kirk and Cliff were 21-22 when this album was launched and probably 20-21 when this masterpiece was written.....mindblowing insane and it shows the geniuses they are....🔥🔥🔥🔥.....been around for 39 years and to this date they sell out EVERY arena in the world.....that the magnitude.......unmatched
I've seen them 8 or 9 times starting in '86 at Nassau Coliseum. I was 13 years old.
I seen them 3 time's, now. Twice in Ohio & once in Michigan. Their live version's are just as awesome as the record's!
And I'm 19 and can't deal with my life haha
@@Th3Jac0b They couldn't deal with their lives either. Have you hear this song?
The singer James Hatfield wrote this song after some of their equipment was stolen, including an amp that was very sentimental and this is the song of how he felt. This was pretty early in their career.
I get the impression it's now effectively a tribute to Cliff Burton.
@@SerunaXI to live is to die is a cliff burton tribute since they made it after his death and used pieces of all his work in the song.
@@frostieinars The memory remains is another song dedicated to cliff. They even mention in that song that Fade to Black was Cliff's favorite song.
@BlockPlays James Capyard
In My Darkest Hour by Mustaine was also kind of a Cliff tribute
Metallica is considered overrated now. That's how you know they were the best
Post black album it's a no go.
@@markusha1615 Load/Reload is just different,many amazing songs in there,St. Anger had such poor production otherwise it would have been so good, and from death magnetic i like a couple songs,but suicide and redemeption is just perfect!
@@markusha1615 Metallica has more great material post black album than 99% of rich and famous bands.
@@yeeyee1690 Dude you have to listen to the new album. It's that Justice/ puppets sequel everyone has been begging them to make since 1989.
@@redrick8900 i know it is pretty good.I like spit out the bone and halo on fire
We call this a Heavy metal ballad, not a rock song. 1980’s and early 1990’s were made from these.
I would classify it as rock. It has everything that makes up a rock song.
@@kingexclusivo No, they are Metal Ballads, but they sound more rock than metal sometimes, like Nothing Else Matters
@@wulf5247 more like hard rock
@@urmum9757 thrash metal imo
The lineup of Metallica at this time
James Hetfield - vocals, guitar
Kirk Hammett - guitar
Cliff Burton (RIP) - bass
Lars Ulrich - drums
For me, this song has become an ode or memoriam to Cliff Burton... his greatness lives on in Metallica. Gone but not forgotten.
MISSING ROBERT TRUJILLO (BASS)
@@vv2292 I'm "missing" nothing. I SPECIFICALLY said "at this time" (1984). Robert Trujillo didn't join Metallica until 2003. You really should try reading instead of just being a self-righteous a$$hole. Now go f*ck yourself with a broom handle.
@@Red_Bearded_Dad you’re absolutely right, I even saw a live performance of it where somewhere in the middle Hetfield looked up to the sky and yelled “CAN YOU HEAR US CLIFF?!” and I pretty much started crying
@@michaelbaldwin8484 "You really should try reading instead of just being a self-righteous a$$hole. Now go f*ck yourself with a broom handle."
All that necessary?
It's ok if you pause. That makes the reaction. Glad to see you hearing metallica for who they are. My fav 4 sure. Try sanitarium . peace homie
Yes; if you have thoughts by all means pause and get them out before the music takes them. But, with Metallica you don't need to pause for copyright, they're easy on it.
I find it hard to split Battery, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Blackened as my top 3.
Welcome Home
@@mfree80286 someone should tell napster that ;p
My favorite band of all time too
It's not that the tone changed, the whole song is about suicide. Someone else mentioned it was controversial back in the day but for me playing it over and over would lighten some of the darkness, drain it away or whatever. Ride the Lightning is still my favorite album of theirs.
Same
This song has made me rise from the darkest of dark places.
It was the opposite for me when I was a teenager, my closest mate at high school committed suicide, this was the song that the cassette in his Walkman was stopped at when they found it so it used to bring out some really dark thoughts whenever I heard it.
It was the first song that moved me..
@@lunch2102 I'm sorry. What a terrible thing to deal with.
Thanks Lynn but there's no need to be sorry, that's not why I shared, this song just moves me differently to you is all.
Think about this the members of the band were around your age when this was written.
If you want another Metallica video, watch the live version of “For whom the Bell Tolls”. The late Cliff Burton shreds his bass in the intro.
That video should be preserved forever!Outliving humanity
It’s time you listened to Master of Puppets, considered by many to be their best song ever.
Not St. Anger?
Definitely
@@willbythewaylazyraidshadow9804 No song can top St. Anger.
Orión
Master of puppets isn’t all that great lol
Still is and always will be the greatest outro solo of all time
Yes
"I was me but now he's gone" best line
Nah
"Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye."
This song inspired a bit of controversy back then, because it was almost ballad like in its musicality. A lot of Metallica fans were turned off on it for not being hard thrash, but only for a short while. It's now one of their most widely celebrated songs.
I loved thos song from the start, and played the drums to it
The loudest Metallica fans always hate the newest album.
FTB has always been considered by one of their better songs AFAIK... The real breakdown with their older fans came when they made a video for One, Kind of sold out with the black album (by making that more cookie cutter and sound better to radio execs) and cut their hair, went Emo and started to wear eyeshadow and nail polish with Load whatever that was...
@@keres666 That's absurd. Metallica never sold out. They made the music they wanted to make. It's absurd that people think a band that infuriates their most obnoxious fans with every other album is selling out.
Good musicians don't make the same album over and over. All the great ones change their sound over time. Pink Floyd and the Beatles had the same reaction.
@@redrick8900 I mean sold out or not that was the general feeling their older fans had... And the Black Album undoubtedly feels and sounds a lot more commercially friendly, like it or not it came off as selling out... if they did or not is irrelevant, that was the feeling.
Fade To Black wasn't a controversial thing, they always have a song that brings the whole thing down a bit tempo-wise and it comes out awesome, It's like saying Welcome Home (Sanitarium) was slower so people got mad... no... Thats not why people got mad at Metallica.
The first real thing they did that pissed fans off was the One video (which IMO is FINE, It was good, as a kid thats the song that got me into metal as a whole and I was 4 years old) but the black album definitely shifted things towards playing on the radio more and that pissed off their most hardcore fans.
I was 14 when this album came out and going through some very dark times, this song saved me. Every word in the lyrics was what I was feeling but the final solo was so inspiring, so uplifting so impactful that it showed me that there was a little light within the darkness and there was hope... I'm 51 now and have had battled depression all my life yet this song is my life line...
They are the best at transitions (change ups in tempo and rhythm) than any other band ever, imo.
I've watched several different "reaction" channels over the past couple of years. Yours is by far the best. Most likeable and genuine. Stay you LFR.
😷🏍💨👍
Metallica's 'One' official video is really deep. Its about a soldier who got blown up in World War 1 and survived, kind of. It made them famous overnight. Did you know that lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, along with Steve Vai were among the students of JOE SATRIANI, the Jedi master of guitar.
Metallica Rocks Bruh!
Cant wait till you hear One and For Whom the Bell's Toll
The next best two songs for both view count and blowing your mind should be Master of Puppets and One. Great vid and I am glad you like the Goats!
You make me appreciate music that I grew up with even more because you have a great perspective
Master of Puppets for something high intensity.
Damage Inc or Dyers Eve for some very high intensity!!!
I'm so down for a Metallica wormhole
Dude, you gotta listen to Orion by Metallica if you haven’t already! Be prepared to shed at least a single tear at the sheer beauty. It is absolute perfection. It’s only flaw in my opinion? It’s not long enough lol.
Yes!
the lyrics though 😩 KIDDING, haha.
Too true. I listen to it all the time and get upset when it ends. Then I just start it again.
Hey Jojo...I know you like the live performances. You should give Metallica's performance of Enter Sandman from Moscow a try. Watch them perform in front of over 1,000,000 people live in Moscow. It will blow your mind.
Agreed! I think James was even a little impressed by the crowd they drew. Kick ass performance!
More like 2 mill people 🤘
Hey man, Metallica is pretty dope. I'd recommend checking out Nothing Else Matters for some more acoustic intros, and Master of Puppets for something high intensity. Anyway, love the reactions as usual!
You nailed it. Feels like a play most metal artists write the lyrics. Nothing is more real than putting emotions on paper then creating amazing music around it
My first concert was Metallica can you imagine!?!
mine too. i have a bootleg vhs of it too
Discovered your channel about an hour ago and am now subscribed. I love your reactions and your deep appreciation for the music. I will keep watching. I appreciate you. Keep it up.
I am so glad you enjoyed it, especially the solo at the end. You recognized how talented they are! You are ONE SMART MAN!!
Really enjoyed the reaction... I was smiling while you was dancing. This was the first song I heard by them. It was 1987 I believe. I was hooked. I was late to the game, but was so glad I got there when I did.
Just found your videos today and I’m loving it. I love that you are able to find the connections & influence btwn the genres.
Metallica has been one of my favorite bands for almost 30 years. I was 13 when I first heard them. "For Whom The Bell Tolls". Remember it like it was yesterday. I've only seen them live twice tho. In '92 and last year. They're still putting on amazing live shows.
Wow, YOU gave me goosebumps in your definition and your analysis, thank you for giving your amazing take on everything about this song, ive seen Metallica many times in concert and yeah, deep for sure
This is in my opinion one of Metallica's absolute masterpieces. All the elements play together so well. From the point where it jumps off into the pre-solo section I've literally never been able to turn it up loud enough.
I don’t care how long ago you posted this video. You dipped your feet, and you gave the song the respect it deserved. You’ve earned a like and a subscription.
Kid, I love you and your videos! Blessings and love from a 34 y/o metal fan from Costa Rica! Keep on rocking!!
Skateboarding, i hear a lot of hip hop/rap and rock/metal/punk. Watching fans of one react to the other is always so cool. Keep up the awesome work man
Keep it up bro. Music is a universal language for all people. I like that you checking out these great bands that are starting to die out.
First, I gotta say, I enjoy your you and your reviews bro! Keep enjoying and learning about ALL kinds of music! Second, as a HUGE Metallica fan, listen to as much as you can from these guys! You'll enjoy every song!
To me this song is about feeling suicidal, and actually listening to it to helped me NOT kill myself!! Because this made me realize it wasn't just me...I was just 14 years old and suicidal when this was popular
PS, still love it, see it in a different way now!
I love this song! There's so much passion in the guitar playing and gets me all emotional.
This is the first metallica song I heard, it will be played when I leave the world.
I've always listened to this song as if it's an acknowledgment. An awareness of the pain and struggles; the torment and often seemingly unyielding despair that can make it seem to be all that life is. My favorite song of all time and the one that could bring me back from the brink of self destruction and chosen annihilation.
Ride the Lightning was released in 1984 and Master of Puppets was released in 1986. It's the best 1-2 punch in this history of Rock and Roll. There are 16 songs between the two albums and EVERY ONE is a 10/10.
I doubt I could think of a song with a better intro/outro combination than this one. Absolutely stellar!
BRO! GREAT REACTION! This is a beautiful song... listen to it again when u got the time
Been a Metallica fan for about 40 years, seen them live 4 times, and, in my opinion, hands down, not just best rock band ever, best musicians, band, quartet, whatever, when it comes to music...Best Ever.
This is true to me they are the greatest band the world has ever seen: any genre.
Also, the fact you wanted to see the lyrics, I subscribed, and this was prolly 6th video I've watched of yours. Keep it up man. Nice job, oh, and pause when you feel the need, and follow that Metallica vibe. Lol, I use "fool" all the time.
You get it man. Metal is finding beauty in the dirt.
Fade to black is a video editing term. It’s a transition effect usually at the end of a scene. Hence the use here to suggest “The Big End”
I love how much you enjoyed the end! Just like I do :)
JOJO,I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS !!
I have heard this song thousands of times easily in my 42 years on this planet and I gotta say that, even though I can never have that same feeling first time I heard it, it's so damn close seeing someone else when they hear it for the first time so thank you for that.
My absolute favorite Metallica song EVER!!
Have you ever listened to Cliff Burtons bass solo? He was the original bass player for Metallica. Tragically he died in an accident in 1989.
Cliff died in 86 not 89
So glad to see a young guy finding joy in these older rock & metal bands from my younger days. There was a reason why a lot of us kept listening on Walkmans and such.
I'd love to see your reaction to Metallica's "One". Especially from their video, and if you look into the meaning behind it, and how they put into words the abject helplessness of being trapped in a body that cannot communicate their pain.
The composition was written to draw listeners in right out the gate. Setting the tone for the story. The intro music melodic, tender sharp striking the right chord and tapping into the emotional frequency. That skill makes for great storytelling.
The song is about heroin addiction. Black was a name used for heroin. I don't know if people still call it that today. If you listen to the lyrics carefully the song isn't glorifying the drug. But rather taking a look at the dark path that few return from.
The lyrics are saying to listeners. Hey look at me you could end up like me. Man I'm so far in I can't get out. At that time the music had been built up with emotion. Explodes into transition filled with raw shredded anger and frustration.
Heroin is an evil drug that alters your mind into believing a false reality of hopelessness and despair. Choice one is rare but it does happen and that is:
1. commit suicide and get it over with because life is too painful to live.
or
2. ?
Hence, Fade To Black.
I think it's a great message to stay away from evil, (Black/heroin).
Need to watch the live version of this song. Freaking Awesome!!
Since, I been checkin out your video's, I been noticing certain thing's, that you are really into. So, I suggest you check out their song "One" and let me just say, that it may start out a bit slow, but you better have that seatbelt strapped on, or you ain't gonna handle the drum solo in the middle of the song, that last's for several minute's, until almost the end of the song! And, it's written about an old war story novel, that they bought the right's to, so they could put the clip's into the video of the song. And, they go off of the book, instead of the movie, that was written, several year's after the book came out. So, to clear a few thing's up on it, it has to do with a war veteran, that had a mortar shell launched into the hole he was in, with his platoon, as he was the only one who survived, but lost all 4 of his limb's, as well as his speech and hearing abilities, from the blast. So, since he seemed like a corpse to the doctor's and etc, they presumed he couldn't feel anything, as well as he was supposed to be in a coma, but he woke up from the coma. Whereas, in the movie, it show's a rocket being shot into the hole and exploding, which wasn't in the book. And, the lyric's go off of what the guy is feeling in his own mind, as the story revolved around him. So, there is meaning behind the lyric's in the song, pertaining to the story itself and how a person in his situation is actually feeling. And, the drum solo, play's a part in how it sound's, as well, with the story itself. So, you should definitely do a reaction to their song "One"!
Let the gods of rock and roll bless your ears with
TRIUMPH : FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT ( live from Halifax ).🙏🤟
Metallica are the forerunners of Thrash Metal. This song in particular was hugely controversial when it first came out. It's about how it feels to lose all hope and seeing suicide as the only option left to him. This song alone saved so many lives because suddenly people who felt so lost and alone realized they are not alone, that someone does understand what they are feeling and going through. The singer and guitarist is James Hetfield, the lead guitarist is Kirk Hammett, the drummer is Lars Ulrich, and the bassist for their first three albums (Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets) was Cliff Burton. Cliff was tragically killed in a bus accident while on tour in Northern Europe in late 1986 and Jason Newsted took his place, staying with the band through several albums (...And Justice For All, Metallica (aka the black album, or as James Hetfield called it, "None More Black"), Load, Reload, and S&M (Symphony and Metallica). Robert Trujillo then took over as bassist after Jason left, beginning with Saint Anger and is still with Metallica to this day.
Great reaction brother! Loved your interpretation.
I agree the intro is so beautiful and one of my favorite
the guitar part at the end of the song is just out of this world
If you really wanna hear some incredible Metallica, check out the concerts done with the San Francisco Symphony. Amazing mixture of the metal with a classical full symphony.
Grew up listening to them nothing better
Goddamn Right!
And...cue the tears. Within a few days after The Station Fire in Warwick, Rhode Island, February 20, 2003, WHJY in Providence started airing their dj's, Doctor Metal, last recording regarding Metallica's upcoming June release, "St. Anger", and how he didn't know if he'd be around for it, because of his disappointment with it. "Fade to Black" was his background music for his review, and I have since had a pre Station Fire view of it, and a post fire view, which dominates. The first survivor I saw interviewed on the news, because of my insomnia, was someone I met in The Channel bathroom, in Boston, at an L.A. Guns show. I was relieved to see she was okay, but there were others that I had shared space with who didn't make it, including Doctor Metal, Mike Gonsalves. Nowadays, there are sooo many different ways to find your choice in music, but it was far different back in the 80s, and you had to do your homework...without internet. Even at that, a 10,000-15,000 seat show could sell out in 10 minutes! You had to be savvy, and understand how the system worked, but I still missed out on shows I was dying to see. All that being said, Doctor Metal's fellow djs were haunted by his foreshadowing of his own death, as were his fans. I will never hear this song the same way again, but am happy to hear your thoughts on it. And I'm happy that hip hop artists are inspired to sample metal songs. 🤘💙
This was the last song we listened to on our drive from the church house to the cemetery. We stood in the rain folding a flag over my friends casket to give to his mom. I'm still sorry for her loss.
Kirk Hammett is the lead guitarist. I have one of his signature guitars with a Floyd rose
It's awesome
You analyzed the lyrics really well.
I love your reactions. Just so you know though even bands that are just “always hard rock” it takes so much talent more than most genres of music
This song has come back to me MANY times. Mostly in low times in my life. It is a suicidal song. But is also uplifting. The controversy behind this song was it was a suicide song.
True Rock is story telling through emotion and music, creating paintings of color in your thoughts
Can't get in my head how 4 drunk 20 y.olds make song good like this.
Yeyyyy new subscriber good job bro
Best concert I ever seen. They rock!
They are the #1 American metal band
Back when this album was written and released, the band members were as follows. James Hetfield on lead vocals, and rythm guitar, Lars Ulrich on drums, Cliff Burton on base guitar, and Kirk Hammett on lead guitar. Kirk is the second lead guitarist that the band had, and he is still playing with them to this day. I'm not sure of the years, but at one point he was rated the best guitarist in the world for 4 years in a row. Metallica has had 4 bassists, but James and Lars are the only two band members that are the original members of the group still with the band.
Who rated him as the best guitarist in the world please? Every poll usually puts Hendrix at the top with Jimmy Page,Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck ,Eddie Van Halen etc etc right up there but in different orders depending on the poll with rolling stone putting Kirk at number 11. I'm not saying he's not one of the best I'm just saying I've never seen him ranked at number 1
Was it rating the best metal guitarist's only ?
@@davidmellish3295 I don't remember honestly. I had heard about it back in the early to mid 90s, and it was something that stuck with me. I dont believe that it was an all time rating, but a current time rating.
@@Paulnesvold8482 oh ok,I was just curious
I can humbly tell you I'm the Biggest METALLICA fan I know at least my 3 tattoos dedicated to the band will tell you .I'm 47 years old and have been listening to this song since I was 10, I didn't understand the meaning at that age, but this song is an internal conflict leading to contemplation of suicide. Content like this has saved lives giving angst ridden teens an outlet for well over 30 years. to hear and see still today young people discovering it brings a crooked grin to my fac.
I love it when hes says is beautiful and hes popping about. And it the darkest of lyrics you can get...
I remember when this album was released. It was METALLICA IS BACK !! Took over by Storm! It’s cool when a band, in the middle of their career, puts out super strong, defining record.
Honestly one of the greatest songs ever written!!!!
This is the song which lead me to a Metal-Head. MASTER PIECE!
I always thought of lyrics as an instrument, cuz I'm living in Germany and you can speak enough English to understand videos and lyrics around the age of 12 here. But I never thought of lyrics having a deeper meaning than just creating a beautiful melody...
Listening to you figure ou what is going on in this song is unreal. Way to go you hit it right on. Just read that they wrote this song after someone stoled all there equipment. Never would have been near that close. Thanks great video and insight on the song.
Metallica in their prime was always one hell of a show. Even on their St. Anger tour, which is one of their less popular albums, they had a high energy show that you just couldn't resist moving to. Love the channel and the from the heart reactions!
Finally, he ascends. Metallica! ❤️
Been a fan of Metallica since day 1 their latest album is hardcore! Without any doubts best Metal band ever was!!!!
This is a timeless classic from a classic album
Please send me back to the 80s
i listened to this song more than any song when i was a teenager.
I literally just commented on guns and roses react vid to do this song song. 😍😍😍😍
Guess what? Years and years and years... it still holds up.
Bro 4 sure, Metallica is NOT rock.😜
Its Metal🤘
Try METALLICA - Master of Puppets
Pls😉
🤘Greets from 🇩🇪
Would love to see you with Metallica live via video. You get get them and you get why so many people love their music.
Metallica is known for its deep lyrics. I love that you said about it being like a play. I’ve always thought this about Metallica. James is a master lyricist!
