@@tbd407 Nothing if you're a normal person, these guys have been touring, performing and making albums most of those 40 years. The toll of the travel itself would be huge for even people in their prime
Yes!! Metallica is dropping a new album! I like this one, it reminds me of old school Metallica but still sounds new. Its amazing these guys can still play so fast and agressive pushing 60 years old.
You still got so many bangers from their back catalogue to discover. 'Leper Messiah', 'Battery' and 'The Day That Never Comes' absolutely need to be done.
I am cryin! This is hilarious and fun! I love your excitement over this single! I am not a Metal fan, but my oldest child will be 40 in a few months, and she had every Metallica album as a teen! Seeing your love for this song reminds me of the Old Days when the house shook with their music! Sending you lot BIg Love!
Hi..please do a reaction on an Indonesian singer named Cakra Khan.. he did an amazing cover for Tennessee whiskey.. and the other is a fingerstyle guitarist named Alip Ba Ta.. very talented. !!
Love seeing a group of young men who have been discovering Metallica, receive the treat of reacting to a brand new song! As an old head Metallica fan, this reaction brought a real smile to my face! Go see em live while you can.
Yess new Metallica on the way. Since you’re checking out their new material, you should check out, “Spit Out The Bone”. It’s off their 2016 album and FULL of energy throughout the entire song. Also a GREAT song to work out to with insane instrumentals
The lyric “lightning the nation” is a tip of the hat to the band Diamond Head who is one of Metallica’s biggest (if not their biggest) influences, Diamond Head’s debut album was called “Lightning to the Nations”
YUP YUP!!!!..I was in 3rd grade when these guys put there first album out....I'm 48 now....they were underground when I was a kid...its incredible to see how they have transcended generations , gender , and race...the audience when I saw them in the 80s was alot different than the audiences now....love it
Being a fan since the late 80's I'm honored to listen to this song for the first time with you guys. Love you're enthusiasm for a band that got me though alot of times, good and bad. Cheers my metal brothers!
Y'all really should catch a live show if you can. There's nothing like a live Metallica show. The unison in the chanting and sing-along is really unlike any other band I've seen. The energy is so tight you could power the world if you could harness it.
@Joe dirty71 Congrats on your differing opinion. You realize it's entirely subjective. I've seen more than 20 bands of all types. I stand by what I say about the audience connection.
@Joe dirty71 I've seen Slipknot a few times. They're very good. Having a different opinion doesn't matter it factual. You should really consider this before commenting further.
@Joe dirty71 In all seriousness , your smugness is off-putting & not humorous. These guys aren't diehard metal fans. They clearly like Metallica, who I would absolutely agree has slowed down with age as people do. Additionally, the tenor of their albums have changed over the last 20 years, which would necessarily change their live shows just as a new tour would focus on an album we haven't heard. Yet you speak with such confidence. I don't think you're capable of taking people's differences into account. I would never recommend a Slipknot show to a non-metal fan as their first show. The energy is too manic. It's obvious you won't reflect on yourself but for anyone reading this comment, don't take music advice from this guy. He isn't interested in your enjoyment of music but the correctness of his opinion.
Sounds a lot like the material on Kill Em All, especially the part just before and after the guitar solo that sounded like Hit the Lights. I'm sure they will release a song or two before the album release of "72 Seasons" on April 14, 2023. 12 Tracks and 77 minutes.
When I first heard this tune the other night I was kinda torn, as far as my initial impression. Now a couple days have gone by and I have found myself repeatedly going back to listen to it, over and over. The chorus where James screams the song title is everything in this track. That and the kick drums. But just the way James climbs the ladder vocally to belt out the chorus is such an amazing hook. This almost feels like a sorta power metal almost-but-not-quite Dokken-type vibe meets British new wave meets sped-up Load riffage meets a more polished version of Hit the Lights. It's gonna be a go-to live song (the lyrics kinda reflect that) and the song's energy and the boys' own energy are undeniable. I can't explain it, but all I know is my ear loves it. I'm very happy Metallica is back with new tunes and I'm also very happy they kept the album under wraps so now it's arriving soon - to MY mind - rather than them announcing it 2 years out and then us playing the waiting game. These old dogs can still hunt.
The song seems a homage to metal as a whole. They're totally wearing their influences on their sleeves here. There are musical references all over the place in the riffs. Motorhead, Misfits, Judas Priest, just tons of familiar riffs. So it's a celebration of metal and how it will live forever, or lux aeterna. On top of that, they include the crowd as part of the life of the music so it's definitely intended to be played live.
it's amazing that these guys started in the mid 80s and still pumping strong! I have been a metallica fan since I knew who they were. to this day favorite album hands down master of puppets.
I’m new to this channel but you guys are awesome!! Metallica is my all time favorite band and seeing you guys discover them in such a genuine and happy manner puts a smile on my face. Shoutout to that NASCAR shirt!
I'm going to both shows in Glendale, AZ!! Sept 1st & 3rd 2023! I cannot wait to see my favorite heavy metal band! 🤘🤘 40 plus years later and they are still killing it and going back to their OG sound, absolutely love it!! And I cannot wait for the new album! 🤘🤘
Me and my brother are going to see them in Arlington August 18th. I wanna see all you guys there. It'll be a once in a lifetime experience to see these legends.
I enjoy this channel a whole lot, you guys always open-minded and fresh with every video, you seem to enjoy most of the content you publish. 'Tallica is my favorite band, been a fan since 1985. You LIT, fuckin' ROCK 🤘⚡
the lyric "Lightning the Nation" is definitely a reference of Diamond Head and their album "Lightning to the Nations". Metallica are big fans of Diamond Head, even covered "Am I Evil" and "It's Electric" among others
We, human beings, have so much energy, especially created during the live concerts. It's literally, electric. A charge. We are living batteries. Learn to sun gaze. Love you guys. Thanks.
I just got my Pit tickets for their show in Arlington, TX in August. They are playing two shows. One on Friday and one on Sunday. I got tickets to both. It’s my birthday weekend. This will be my 15th and 16th Metallica concert. Long live the Kings! 🤘
Fellas, you guys are dope. I love the fact that yall smart, strong young men can see the other side of music, and see the brilliance of Metallica, one of the very greatest rock bands literally of all time. I love you guys and your honesty. much love from Seattle.
I'm a 49 year old white guy and I love this channel. I guess regardless of race or age, music and comedy (that's mostly what I've watched you guys react to) brings us all together. Keep it up!
Lux Aeternal means Light Eternal. The new album is coming in April and the plotted a 2 year tour. They are timeless, they continue to stay as hard as ever. Consistently good for so long...pretty sure that's the definition of greatness.
I got my tickets!!! Presale on Wednesday morning! They are playing 22 cities and only 12 in the US. I’m going to the St Louis show and taking my brother. I saw them 30 years ago in 1992 so this is a full circle bucket list to see them again! They are doing a 2 show concert in each city.. Friday night with Pantera opening and Metallica will play 15 songs, they take Saturday off and then they play Sunday with 5 Finger Death Punch opening and Metallica plays 15 different songs! 30 songs in all with different bands opening each night! We are front row seats facing the field in front of the band.. great seats! Cost me $789 but seeing Metallica with their new album, 30 years later with my brother.. priceless!! 😜🤘😎
Got my tickets this morning for the 2 shows in St. Louis. If you guys can get to a show, absolutely go see them live. They are amazing! I've seen them 3 times and can't wait for November 2023!
I’m so glad you reacted to this. I checked yesterday and no reactions. I was hoping you would have heard Metallica dropped a new song and it’s insane. I’m glad all 5 of you get to react to this. Go to Soldier Field in Chicago. 2024
I am in complete agreement with all the people who said you guys should go check them out live next year. It really is an awesome experience. It will definitely, as you young ones say "be LIT!"
Planning to go to the Dallas one in August I believe next year! I’m from Houston, never seen them in person and always wanted too! I’m bringing a group of 6 friends to go!
Watching you guys from your first couple Metallica reactions to this one is awesome, I think you are all metalheads now!!! Well done guys, just subscribed. Btw, it's Latin for Eternal Light
These guys have been ripping like this for over 40years! And they are good guys who give back. Check out their charity organization called all within my hands. They have a day of giving where they ask their fans to all volunteer at a local food bank. They have scholarships for vocational schools. They have given so much away to good causes. They also donate part of the proceeds from every concert to local food banks in that particular area. They really are a great band and not just musically.
This is a definite throwback to OG Metallica. I hear a lot of Kill em All on this track.
Same here! Even my mum said it’s old school lmao. Now I gotta try and get my dad to listen to it
ESPECIALLY "Hit the Lights"
As well as Motörhead!
@@LightBlueWool Lars' return to the black and white Tama double bass set up wasn't lost on me either. Hope the album is more of the same
It’s literally hit the lights 2.0
Sounds like they went back to the roots and pays homage to Motorhead. LOVE IT!
Lars doing his best "Philthy Animal" on the drums!
@@colico14 😌😌😌
I agree. Also, hearing a little Judas Priest and King Diamond influence here.
SAXON
Lux ætetna is eternal light
The song is kind of about unification in their audience at one of their live shows.
Did you see that video with Lars explaining it to Howard Stern recently..
The whole nine yards..
I also saw an analysis of the title saying the whole song is an homage to Hit the Lights from Kill ‘Em All, especially since the song is so similar to it musically!
Metallica Family
Unification in their audience?
Lightning to the nations is a nod to the Diamond Head song from the album of the same name.
Wow, almost 40 years after their first album release! These dudes are about 60 years old 🤘🤘🤘 🔥
They are at least 30 years old. But let's call it a solid 58 and 59.

Kirk is 60
60 aint nothin anymore though

comes of like old motorhead. don't hate it, but it's derivative.
Dropping it from the balcony or?
@@wraithstrongoparkI feel like there’s more of a diamond head influence

You still got so many bangers from their back catalogue to discover.
'Leper Messiah', 'Battery' and 'The Day That Never Comes' absolutely need to be done.
Battery is an absolute must!!
The Wait and The Prince from Garage Days (or Garage Inc)
@@kaym6850 no
It means eternal light in Latin. The song is a call for togetherness in the face of toxicity. Call back to Kill em all. 🔥🤘
I am cryin! This is hilarious and fun!
I love your excitement over this single!
I am not a Metal fan, but my oldest child will be 40 in a few months, and she had every Metallica album as a teen! Seeing your love for this song reminds me of the Old Days when the house shook with their music!
Sending you lot BIg Love!
They are true 🐐
go on & ignore the biggest sport event at this moment....
Can't wait for this album to drop!
Hi..please do a reaction on an Indonesian singer named Cakra Khan.. he did an amazing cover for Tennessee whiskey.. and the other is a fingerstyle guitarist named Alip Ba Ta.. very talented. !!

Yess new Metallica on the way. Since you’re checking out their new material, you should check out, “Spit Out The Bone”. It’s off their 2016 album and FULL of energy throughout the entire song. Also a GREAT song to work out to with insane instrumentals
Yes! Agree 💯 %
Spit Out The Bone and St.Anger
Make this happen
You'll be amazed.
Love spit out the bone! I’ve been a fan since the mid 80s and I absolutely love the hardwired album!
The lyric “lightning the nation” is a tip of the hat to the band Diamond Head who is one of Metallica’s biggest (if not their biggest) influences, Diamond Head’s debut album was called “Lightning to the Nations”
We in the camp know...
Thanks
YUP YUP!!!!..I was in 3rd grade when these guys put there first album out....I'm 48 now....they were underground when I was a kid...its incredible to see how they have transcended generations , gender , and race...the audience when I saw them in the 80s was alot different than the audiences now....love it
'Lightening the nation' refers to 'Lightning to the Nations' an album by the British band Diamond Head, who are a massive influence on Metallica.
Being a fan since the late 80's I'm honored to listen to this song for the first time with you guys. Love you're enthusiasm for a band that got me though alot of times, good and bad. Cheers my metal brothers!
Y'all really should catch a live show if you can. There's nothing like a live Metallica show. The unison in the chanting and sing-along is really unlike any other band I've seen. The energy is so tight you could power the world if you could harness it.

GLAD YOU LISTENED TO THEIR NEW SONG! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!!!!
Metallica with modernized version of 80s thrash and they’re still killing it🔥🔥🔥
I discovered this band 36 years ago and the energy felt here is what grabbed me and never let go.
I gotta admit... I havent been this excited for a Metallica Album since S&M... I hope the whole album is like this...
Hell YEAH !! I was hoping you guys would do this one today. SO much Kill EM All and Motorhead vibes .......
