I saw in you previous video that you are a millennial :). As such, my humble opinion is that you should check out 2 important bands, Evergrey and Dimmu Borgir. Totally different stiles but I'd like to see the reaction to the progressive nature of Evergrey Weightless and Dimmu Borgir Gateways (official video with captions on) the latter being a beautiful mix of disturbing image and existential nihilism in a symphonic black metal package. Best of wishes in your youtube endeavor, sub from me.
Metallica song Master of Puppets is a must for any new Metallica listener! Also try Yahweh or The Valley by a Christian metal band named Stryper. Promise you’ll love it!
I was introduced to these guys when i was in high school, but it was just noise, loved 1, but didn't pursue. Its very recently that i really came back to them and understood their music. Gosh, its pure genius, no other way to describe it.
Reminds me of stealing my brothers casettes and listening with headphones because my Mom thought it was devil music...until I showed her the lyrics for Puppets and in particular Creeping Death "This is church stories mudder!" haha
Somehow, in some way, their music is not screams, shouts, noise, or bits... Its not just metal, rnr, etc. .... It's subtle and deep connecting power. It's a different spiritual level. Really. Maybe it's just me, but few songs from other musicians create this feeling to me..... They say that other bands do play harder, faster, better. It just doesn't matter.
I have listened to this song since release, I know it forwards and backwards. But..Since my mom passed away , the only line I hear is " I was me but now he's gone" I believe the me that had a mom died with her, and this new incomplete version of me is left behind.
I realized i wasn't alone with depression because of this song. The fact that someone else understood the misery, hopelessness and anger i felt was very helpful to me. Thanks Metallica.
The saddest part for me was years later when I figured out James wrote it after their gear got stolen and they thoughts they can’t tour Europe for the first time. I mean yeah, sure, it was a big deal, but not as serious a topic as many people imagine when hearing this song.
@@Alpysf iirc there was a chance they might not have made it as a band because of the theft. So I can imagine it must have been extremely heavy weight to hear that your dreams might have just died.
This is a basic song anyone burnt out on heavy drug and alcohol addiction can relate to. There song “one” however, is a song that transports all its listeners to a world known only by those who can’t hear it. That’s the best they ever performed
Metallica has had me by the throat since 82, the year I joined the Corps. And in their 50s now, they're still killing it! #hardwired #that was just your life.
This song literally saved my life. I do mean literally. In the depths of dark despair, a soulful sound did fill the air. Could I do a thing can't be undone, or stay, now I know I'm not alone?
I listened Metallica since I was 7 years old and the lyrics it helps me to understand and overcome new problems in my life now I'm growing up and I almost 20. I remember when I was 10 I always said James Hetfield was the father I never haved, I've been using to call him Papá Heltfield haha. I really appreciate him and all the band
How awesome is it to see that dawning realisation in someone that metal is felt in the soul. Like many of us who first got our taste of metal glory in the 80's and early 90's, these millenials do have the capacity to become metal heads. Here's hoping slanzzy picks up that cudgel and carries this tradition forward.
Benjamin Sartori don’t forget, a lot of us millennials were born in the early 80s like myself. Metal was still pretty popular when I was going thru high school but it was on the downhill slope at that point. Metallica was still going strong especially with the Black album. Slipknot, slayer, CoB, and fear factory were still the rage. Music has totally changed now, testosterone is pretty much nonexistent in the music that today’s male teens and 20-somethings listen to. It’s sad.
Whenever I start watching a Fade to Black reaction my thought is: "I hope she/he appreciates the amazing extended soloing at the end because nobody does long, multi-layered solos like Metallica." Was not disappointed.
I just saw Metallica in August in Pittsburgh and during fade to black a girl started balling out crying behind me. The impact this song has had on people is incredible. One of Metallica’s best
@@slanzzy You could be the first to react to: Metal Church Anthem To The Estranged.. It's about the homeless Also they are very underrated, they have several great songs, dive into Metal Church.
This song would just break you down into pieces, literally destroy you. And then, when the song ends, you realize that it’s been actually gathering your pieces and reshaping them into a stronger version of your past self. It changes the way you look at life. Then suddenly you feel better after being so depressed. Such a masterpiece 🔥🤘
Metallica's The Unforgiven - Just as thought provoking as the last two. Also, I never see real, genuine reactions to music (especially metal) anymore. It really is nice to see someone listening to the song for what it is and not just for what the media or society says it is. I really enjoy watching these, so thank you for putting these out there and giving the music a chance.
This song is insane, because many listen the song on high depression with suicidal intentions but then when the amazing guitar solo comes they realized life worth it … amazing Metallica song
@@antivert That's no reaction for me in this form. I can also turn on the camera and hear a song the first time and then say my opinion. In a reaction I want to hear what the reacting person thinks about the parts and maybe watch a funny reaction in surprising parts
It's nice to hear what people think about certain parts of a song, but it's also a little annoying when they keep pausing it and talking that they miss important parts of the song.
Metallica and metal as a genre is so incredibly good, it sucks that metal gets a negative reputation from people that think it's evil or just loud noise, from personal experience metallica has helped me a lot with depression, and I know it has helped a lot of other people too.
Clowns at school did not get this when was new! But also from 50 feet from me you would think was a rap guy . Took a bit of grief for it. Still a damn good song at 51! Was not thinking about being almost old back then!!
Good music doesnt need aproval my friend, nowadays there are a bunch of assholes, Metallica doesnt need aproval from anyone. Still good to know it has helped you with depression, beat that fucker
@@tacuazinful If knew then what I know now might have stuck with music in high school. Was way to cool for tuba! Who thought that this kind of music mix would work so well??!!
I agree wholeheartedly- in the movie 'Deathgasm,' the character Brodie says that 'It's like when life sucks, and you feel alone and empty. Stick on some metal and life is better beacuse someone else knows the pain and the rage you're going through.' Exactly that. It helps so many people. Those I know mock metal as a genre, but it's their loss.
My uncle committed suicide while listening to this song. The pain is realized each time I hear it because in this song we the family that knew him, know this song meant he was on the fence about it and in contemplation. The song didn't push him over, but tried to save him. 😔
Songs: The Unforgiven, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters. For whom the bell tolls. To name a few. There are a lot of songs. And you’re right you just touched a bit of the hole world.
Definitely a deep message in this song. It’s definitely on the heavier side musically but very powerful musically and lyrically. I have seen this song, despite its fast pace and heavy sound, bring a man to tears. Give it a listen for sure.
@@gravitydragon1904 musically for sure, but listen to the lyrics and put yourself in the situation they're picturing. Think of your 20 year old son being sent to go die. That shit's emotional.
@@ReeceyBoy_4 well check us out bud. i think you might like it. we are influenced heavily by metallica, system, rage, POD, korn, and such. give us a sub. we only got 30 right now.
Metallica is a really great band to react too, because most of their music addresses underlying social issues and controversial topics. Not only that, but they match their music very well to the lyrical content of their songs. These guys are masters of their craft. No one really makes music quite like they do. Just subscribed! Hope to see more
Mitchell Mills thank you!! So far, I have to agree with you. It's REALLY cool to see important topics being addressed in such a creative and talented way.
I really think you would appreciate Nothing Else Matters. Also, To Live Is To Die with a little research about the song. When your ready to listen to faster and heavier stuff I recommend Dyers Eve. Its one of their fastest songs but it has a very personal meaning to the lead singer that I think you would appreciate.
Metal stereotypes were always greatly exaggerated, especially for a band like Metallica. Their first 3 albums all contained beautiful and powerful music, some songs are gonna be more intense but they always remain very melodic and balanced. The way you appreciated the instruments in the last part of this song tells me you should react to "Metallica - Orion" , it's an instrumental, no vocals, very well crafted and balanced it captures the mind in a similar way that Fade to Black does at the end. Every reaction of that song is amazing and I feel yours would be very interesting as well. Great reactions with an interesting perspective, keep it up! Suggestion: "Metallica - Orion"
That was my suggestion after One. I'm sure once our host listens to Orion it will take her to the next level. Looking forward to her reaction. If I may, I predict a complete assault on her emotions and a devoted member of the metal community. I see total victory.⌛🌹
This song is quintessential to all who want to sample anything Metallica. If there was a college course on Metallica, This song would kick off the 101 studies.
My brothers favorite song. We played this at his funeral, not for the lyrics but the instrumental. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Hard to listen to still.
Dryers... Correction....dyers Eve and to live is to die are the songs I can't listen to because it reminds me of my brother and my last memory of him playing lead guitar and our friend playing rhythm on " to live is to die" I think...where both guitars are in harmony and I get that picture in my head of him full of life and smiling playing that. God it tears me up inside...we lost him 4 yrs ago and just a year later my mother stopped fighting cancer of the liver and I had to sign for the doctors treatment to stop...thats the hardest thing I've ever done, I looked to my wife and said my God what have I done I just let her die. She was in horrible pain and all her organs were shutting down. What do you do you know.Been a hard 5 yrs.
This song was my dads favorite song. I took it as a suicidal song. Keep in mind I was the one that turned my dad on to Metallica. He took it as his relief from the bs with my mom. Now here I am decades later looking for revial of this song. My dad was a great man. 7+ years ago he passed of a sudden heart attack... I played this song over and over again cuz he loved the song for a different reason, but it came clear to me. I havent given in. It still is a masterpiece which I have new eyes for thanks to thid video. Much love
My reaction was much the same when I first heard Fade to Black. Kids killed themselves when they heard the song, kids wrote Metallica letters about how the song saved them. People loved it. I loved it, i still do. When I hear the solo escalate, man dude. It takes me back to some pinché hard days. Each part was an emotion I felt before I tried suicide and when I hear those parts in the solo, I go through them again. At one point, the solo turns(in my mind) where you did it, and you're dying. And you're just alive enough yet to think i want to go back, I can't go back and at the end, it's too late. Goodbye. It hits me hard cause I didn't take those 3 steps though I tried three times. Fade to Black, man that song hits I'm still here, even though my life was miserable for 16 years. I am kinda harsh on the shit but if anyone has problems out there, man. Don't do it. You can't see it, I didn't see it but you gotta keep going. There's people out there that will call into the darkness and keep talking to you till you come out. There are people out there that don't know how much more rich their lives will be with you in it. Just keep going man, people will help.
hang in there man- back in the day, this was song I listened to when I got the most depressed- and it always brought me out of my depression, in the end.
Same here, ultimate catch22. Ideal song to end it and yet so beautiful you remember there are things worth living for. Literally saved my life ! Only one drawback, I can't listen to it when driving. I always end up closing my eyes for that eargasm on the high note.
I'm tough as nails dude and this song breaks tears down my eyes. I have been there so many times. I can honestly say that Metallica has saved my life quite a few times. I have almost tasted death a couple times and Metallica has been there to pull me through it. The way they can tell a story with music notes and melodic and angry vocals is just amazing. Thanks James, Kirk,Lars, Cliff, Jason and Robert.
I need help. Im drowning man. The light I had in my life is dimming. I could check out. Make it look like an over dose. Ive been in a MAT program for a year and a month. Clean off opiods or anything cept bupes from the clinic every 2 weeks. But Im not happy. I am cold in my soul..losing weight aint helping . I have no appetite for food. The thought of it turns me off, so when i feel I need something, its prob food. I just grab a cigarette in its place. Im so fucking alone . I have a grown son and hold down my job and house..but each day is struggle. The only time Im not in all this pain is when I sleep. My sleep isnt good either. I sleep in stages and every night its the same. I dont know man..Im just so dam tired...in and of everything...sorry for all my details, but I dont have anyone that I relate to with this.
“Hallowed be thy Name” is one of the greatest metal songs ever. Since you seems to like songs that have great story telling lyrics, emotional vocals and guitars, etc. when you listen you listen to the song you feel your right there hearing his confession or walking along side of him up the steps to the gallows.
I'll never forget Fade to Black on the radio, for the first Time in 1985, on a pirate radio station in Los Angeles, actually on my earphones at the pool.. I fell in love, went to 20 music stores, where the album was on back order for months, I knew then, this band would be epic...
Yep, this song was the theme tune for my teenager years and it summed up exactly how I was thinking and feeling at the time. I'll not go into a hell of a lot of detail about those years in the mid 1980's to the early 90's but songs like this kept me going. Metal in general kept me going.
@@evh4611 Still is a great lyricist. The vehicle for delivering his vision which is Metallica is simply not the same any more. Everything evolves into something. I liked Magnetic and Hardwired albums. Load/Reload were below par (which was set very high by themselves anyway). Some Kind Of Monster is well... what the name says.
@@prometheustv6558 Exactly, that is why it shouldn't really count. Plus, writing under pressure without having all the natural triggers which a writer is used to go though, is not writing IMO. It's improvisation at best.
The Call of Ktulu and Orion, those are instrumental songs, but these two pieces just show that there are no need for words to evoke strong emotions. They are like a journey, taking you where you'd never imagine.
looking on the side of my screen of my browser and seeing that you have reacted to more metallica.. i love it. they're deep and i grew up on them. i hope you love the rest of their stuff.
This song was written when soneone broke in and stole all their equipment and james was heartbroken as somebody stole his very first amp that was given by his mother and held sentimental value
This song means a lot to me. I came back after trying. Not fake, for real. Depression is something I deal with, I accept it. I let it in, shake its hand, and cope. Better than never admitting, I am not well, right? Sometimes, I think, self-pity? But no way. A grad student, I work hard , good athlete, a good upbringing...with sometimes too much pressure. Or a lot of pressure. But, I live. Thanks for this and your reaction. You recognize that pain, and I can tell you felt that song. Love it. Keep doing these, they are interesting!
Disposable Heroes means something similar to me, came back after trying just the same and “BACK TO THE FRONT” hit me hard, telling me that no matter how bad it hurts me I’ll always bounce back
@@playofthegamecentral3590 Excellent song! YES, I know what you mean, that "BACK TO THE FRONT" just yells at you, that you are back again! You have come through something, could be anything and wham !! Back to the front! Gives hope, we will always be there, just determination and resilience. lasting through hard times. Hanging in, instead of giving in to so many vices in the world. man, great tune. So true, even when working out, gives you that feeling...This.Is. Me. I got it.
Good for you! You survived which means you’re not done on earth yet and your life is meant to be a long one!..live your life and enjoy the tiny moments, I didn’t regret it and neither will you. Shit hits us hard sometimes clinically or just life in general, but fighting through shit makes it all the more enjoyable and saying you beat your demons is the best high you can encounter. Carry on strong as an ox buddy you got this!
I had the same exact opinion of Metallica at first. Now I'm just a die-hard fan. I think the next song you should give a try to ease you in the wide range of Metallica would be "Nothing Else Matters" and/or "The Unforgiven". Can't wait to see more!
When a man lies he murders some part of the world These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives All this I cannot bear to witness any longer Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
When you are depressed listening to songs like this just feels like someone understands you, It's not gonna cheer you up but it just feels comforting like someone is there for you. To be honest when one is depressed there is no cheering up because doing that just feels stupid.
Very nicely done 🤘 Metallica - Master of Puppets, Orion, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, Halo on Fire, Fixxxer, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me (lyric videos) Iron Maiden - "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", trust me, u'll appreciate it musically and lyrically. And from ur end of video list, for u, this early in ur journey, NO "Little piece of heaven" for u, trust me on this. One day once u know the genre. They're a great band, but just not that song.
You're a bit young, my daughter's age, but here's my feedback. I'm a US Army veteran (was in Germany when the wall fell) and combat veteran from the Gulf War. We listened to Metallica all the time after the war. I'm not into heavy metal, but the Fade to Black album spoke to me. I took many years of piano lessons when younger. It wasn't until later, and the S&M album, that I realized the band and those songs are truly musical master pieces. They bring so many pieces of my life together. Thank you for realizing the emotion impact that this band is capable of achieving.
YES!! I was going to suggest this one as well. I think its one of their best. Pay attention to the transitions as well. Its about as close to perfection as you can get.
Metallica early Stuff: - Heavy = For Whom the Bell tolls, Leper Messiah, The Thing that should not be, Harvester of Sorrow - Thrashy = Allmost all songs on Kill'em All (First Album),Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Battery, Disposable Hereos, Damage Inc., Blackened, Dyers Eve - Ballads = [Fade to Black], Welcome Home (Sanatarium), [One], The Unforgiven (older) - Musical Masterpieces = Call of Kthulu (Instrumental), Master of Puppets, Orion (Instrumental)
@@dejan3110 Harsh songs generally kick ass, but I didnt list them, because for a newcomer to Metallica or Metal in general its hard to enjoy it, since you arent use to the grittyness.
I've watched "reaction videos" before, but yours are the best I've seen. You show us your visual reactions while you're watching the video, and you wait til the end before you give us your vocal reaction and comments. By far the best. Can't wait to see more of your reaction videos. Great job!!
Try "Nothing else matters", but probably you somehow heard that one even by mistake some day in the past. But i have no doubt that you will like it, and it's a little happier to 😊
This is your second video for me in the first one I noticed during the song unlike the majority of reaction videos I've seen you didn't pause it over and over again at first I thought maybe you were just really into the song and you forgot but now that I've seen 2 videos without it happening I just wanted to say it's a wonderful thing to actually get to listen to the whole song straight through, some songs has a special power and energy that gets lost when you interrupt the flow so thank you and I'm a confirmed new fan.
I would recommend "unforgiven" and "nothing else matters", probably their most popular songs and easier on the ear for someone who's not into this kind of music. I see what other people recommenting, excellent songs, but not fit for the purpose, I think
Well, you got One, a song about war and Fade to Black that talks about feelings, so I think the next step would be "The Day That Never Comes" which is a mix of both concepts. Ps: Cemetery Gates by Pantera is also a great one.
James Hetlfield, as a lead singer and song writter, is very underestimated in his lyric writting. Not only is he capable of weaving layers of metahpor with in his lyrics, but this is also done after has measured the 'beats' (syllabic) from a melody formulated in his head. Always glad to hear someone grasping the emotive content/context of metallica songs. *thumbs up*
James actually wrote the lyrics after some of their gear had been stolen. He was depressed and gave us this amazing song. I dealt with suicidal thoughts in high school (26 years ago), and this song actually helped. just knowing that other people felt the same way I did. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. More Metallica you say? The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The entire Master of Puppets album (the album that got me into the band back in 87), The God That Failed, Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, To Live Is To Die, For Whom The Bell Tolls and Wherever I May Roam. Enjoy.
Right there with you same time period too. This song was on repeat constantly then and it really helped get my emotions out. Helped a great deal when I lost a friend to suicide my senior year as well.
I can remember hearing this as a kid, on cassette, as my mom rocked us out in the car. I'm 37 now, and so glad I got to experience this moment in time. RIP Mom 🤍
I sit here crying watching another human being connect with this song. It's been a while since I spun this one up and it is just as powerful as ever. Plenty of us out here can relate to the feelings expressed in this song and if just one more person hears it and it opens their mind to the pain that depression brings to so many of us, I can find comfort in that.
Since you asked, this song definitely got me through some dark shit. Drug abuse and disease nearly destroyed me. I was ready to give up. And when I was at my lowest, it just felt good to hear someone else say they had “simply nothing more to give”. And that common understanding was the same thing that helped me pull out of it. Funny thing is they just wrote it after someone stole their gear!
Its funny how most ppl just ignore so called "heavy" music because they are usually loud and kinda hard to understand...well, their loss. Glad you are giving it a chance.
"Nothing matters, no one else" might have been part of the inspiration for the title of song Nothing else Matters. I didn't think of that until right now.
James wrote this at a pretty dark time. Their gear had been stolen and things were just uncertain. To me this song was an optometry, doesn’t glorify suicide but recognizes it as an option, not the best one. It also helped me latter on to understand my mothers suicide. It took many year of anger but I now understand. I don’t agree of course but I understand. Whatever pain she was suffering is over now. I just wish she was here so we could go through it/ experience it together, and work through it. I’m trying, but it isn’t easy.
I've seen them 5 times or so, took my oldest when he was 9 and again at 17. Both of us play guitar as well, first song I taught him was Welcome Home (Sanitarium). My 2nd is now 9, I was really hoping to take him to see Metallica this summer. It would have been a tradition. It's ok tho, we can wait. As long as they are safe, along with everyone else in the world. I can't wait till this is over tho, to show him 1000's of people rocking out to Metallica on stage once again...
Part of the emotion of their songs comes from the way they incorporate their instruments into the music. I'd suggest Sanitarium, Master of Puppets, Lepper Messiah or Orion (if you want an instrumental that will move your emotions) next! Your reactions are great!
Back in the days when Cliff was still there. I still get tears in my eyes because he had to go. With him, Metallica would still be the hottest band in the world. I can only agree, all the songs you have selected are very cool. At Orion I get goose bumps every time. But I think she should choose Master Of Puppets as the next song, and not just because of the incredibly good lyrics. No song can better reflect Metallica.
They had an incredible album after cliff in AJFA. And black album was full of solid songs. Just missing epic songs like the first 4. But yes cliff was a huge loss to them, musically.
I feel the emotion and vision they had is what separates them from other metal bands, even though I thoroughly enjoy some Megadeth, Slayer, pantera, etc.
@@ktgo4424 All great bands. I love Raining Blood. For me it's more towards Maiden. IMHO the best band in this world. I've been listening to them for almost 40 years. But there are so many good bands out there that I can't list them all anyway. ^^
I think your interpretation is spot on. Imagine listening to this track at your most darkest hour. The lyrics of the songs of all of the albums will take you on the rollercoaster of their lives. You can experience with them how they matured over the years. Fade to black has been one of my favorites, but there are so many.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS - a little something for the fans MASTER OF PUPPETS - drug addiction ORION - very VERY cool instrumental ENTER SANDMAN - dreams/nightmares KING NOTHING - greed UNTIL IT SLEEPS - madness WHEREVER I MAY ROAM - freedom THE UNFORGIVEN - self explanatory (Just a few suggestions...)
i keep coming back to your reactions, you actually listen and everyone else i try to watch stop the song 4..5..6 .... times , its so annoying, if you stop a song at any moment, you disturb the flow!! keep up the great reactions!! absolutely love what and how you do it!!
I'm glad you're listening to the original studio version of this song. I feel James' voice is totally different now, and this is absolutely the best version on earth. I just watched another reaction video of someone watching the late concert version. This is truly the most pure way to hear this particular song.
Thanks for tuning in! I love the feedback :) ps I just started an instagram account for my RUclips account so follow @iamslanzzy if you want.
You need to listen to Nightwish-Ghost Love Score. A great experience of how incredible Metal is in its different genres
Master of puppets about dealing with drug problems
I saw in you previous video that you are a millennial :). As such, my humble opinion is that you should check out 2 important bands, Evergrey and Dimmu Borgir. Totally different stiles but I'd like to see the reaction to the progressive nature of Evergrey Weightless and Dimmu Borgir Gateways (official video with captions on) the latter being a beautiful mix of disturbing image and existential nihilism in a symphonic black metal package. Best of wishes in your youtube endeavor, sub from me.
Metallica song Master of Puppets is a must for any new Metallica listener! Also try Yahweh or The Valley by a Christian metal band named Stryper. Promise you’ll love it!
Yes, Master of Puppets & 2 instrumentals - Orion & The Call Of Ktulu “stir the emotions” imo....glad you enjoy this older Metallica !
"this song is probably so important to so many people" It is, it saved my life!!!!!
Glad you stuck around brother!
Mine too,bro.
Relatable.
Sorry to hear your life needed saving but glad to hear you found the inspiration you needed.
It's so amazing to see that Metallica helped lots of people!!! Long live Metallica bros!!!!
Haha, it's always so enjoyable watching someone listen to Metallica the first time. Even more so when they get it. Welcome aboard!
I was introduced to these guys when i was in high school, but it was just noise, loved 1, but didn't pursue. Its very recently that i really came back to them and understood their music. Gosh, its pure genius, no other way to describe it.

Pero madre mía Willy que haces aquí compañero
like rock/metal/rap? check out my band and give us a sub if you like it!! ruclips.net/video/xFDwDX-p8PI/видео.html DROWNtheFISH!!!
Somehow, in some way, their music is not screams, shouts, noise, or bits... Its not just metal, rnr, etc. .... It's subtle and deep connecting power. It's a different spiritual level. Really. Maybe it's just me, but few songs from other musicians create this feeling to me..... They say that other bands do play harder, faster, better. It just doesn't matter.
The most haunting line from this masterpiece is, "I was me, but now he's gone".
mine is "Please smile when you think about me..
My body's gone, that's all..."
*oop... wrong room.. :D
Yeah very strong line✂️
Till this day that line was my savior because I was gone and I could not find myself
I have listened to this song since release, I know it forwards and backwards. But..Since my mom passed away , the only line I hear is " I was me but now he's gone" I believe the me that had a mom died with her, and this new incomplete version of me is left behind.
Yes. I say that to myself every day.
I realized i wasn't alone with depression because of this song. The fact that someone else understood the misery, hopelessness and anger i felt was very helpful to me. Thanks Metallica.
My friend of misery...my one self lol
The saddest part for me was years later when I figured out James wrote it after their gear got stolen and they thoughts they can’t tour Europe for the first time.
I mean yeah, sure, it was a big deal, but not as serious a topic as many people imagine when hearing this song.
@@Alpysf iirc there was a chance they might not have made it as a band because of the theft. So I can imagine it must have been extremely heavy weight to hear that your dreams might have just died.
I think it was a Marshall amplifier that James' mother helped him get before she passed away and it was stolen
YES INDEED!!!
Fade to Black is prob one of best written and performed songs ever made.
You not wrong about that 👌
For Metallica lol
@@suicidalpigeon1674 for any band full stop.
i have to agree, this is by far the best song ever written imo
This is a basic song anyone burnt out on heavy drug and alcohol addiction can relate to. There song “one” however, is a song that transports all its listeners to a world known only by those who can’t hear it.
That’s the best they ever performed
I'll just drop this here: "Master of puppets"
It's the song that got me hooked to metal. Now I'm, what, 20 years in? GL.
This is where you need to start your Rest-of-your-life adventure with Metallica
Metallica has had me by the throat since 82, the year I joined the Corps. And in their 50s now, they're still killing it!
#hardwired #that was just your life.
Puppets should have been the first song
It's funny that what got you hooked to metal was a song about drugs XD
@@NemusNemi pun intended
Listen to Orion by metallica, has no lyrics but the feelings that evokes its just amazing
Indeed a masterpiece! 🤘🏻
Agreed. Don't do a reaction to it. Just kill the lights, lay down, close your eyes and let the song take you on a journey
I cannot second this enough, this is probably the best instrumental song of all time. The emotions you get from it are... priceless.
Cliffs Masterpeace R.I.P. Brother and Master of Bass! Love to all Bassist from Bassist 🤘🏼
A couple of other great instrumental pieces are La Villa Strangiato and YYZ by Rush. The musicianship is just outstanding.
This song literally saved my life. I do mean literally. In the depths of dark despair, a soulful sound did fill the air. Could I do a thing can't be undone, or stay, now I know I'm not alone?
Metallica saved my life...
Could I use that for a song I’m writing, I will put your name in the song writing credits if you do allow me, if not I understand
Glad you're still with us. Keep strong! Hugs
Bleeding me is one of the most under rated Metallica song out there and right up your alley
I personally feel that Anesthesia (pulling teeth) is terribly under requested on these types of channels. Maybe because it's instrumental.
I agree, Bleeding Me is beautiful. Hell, S&M version is as amazing
Yup, that's been one of favourites since my Metallica age began.
The Metallica journey isn’t complete without hearing masterpiece " ORION "
- Delirium - Call of Ktulu, anyone???
Creeping Death, an epic journey.
The Call of Ktulu
U mean king nothing
i mean theres no lyrics to react to XD
Metallica is the only reason why I am still alive. Someday I want to give James a big hug.
Mine too, bro. Mine too..
@@victor-mihailcretu2011 Amen!
I listened Metallica since I was 7 years old and the lyrics it helps me to understand and overcome new problems in my life now I'm growing up and I almost 20. I remember when I was 10 I always said James Hetfield was the father I never haved, I've been using to call him Papá Heltfield haha. I really appreciate him and all the band

The moment as a teenage realizing that your hero's go through the same crap in life and it gives your hope and the ability to face another day.
You're damn right!
Yep
Yes it reassuring to realize that your heros are human as well. =)
This song takes you to your deepest and darkest place and helps you climb out yourself.
Like a child taking it's first steps, the head nodding has shown a Metal Head is born!
Keep at it! 🤘
Now we just gotta work on timing and intensity lol
\m/
How awesome is it to see that dawning realisation in someone that metal is felt in the soul. Like many of us who first got our taste of metal glory in the 80's and early 90's, these millenials do have the capacity to become metal heads. Here's hoping slanzzy picks up that cudgel and carries this tradition forward.
I was noticing the exact same thing! Love it! :)
Benjamin Sartori don’t forget, a lot of us millennials were born in the early 80s like myself. Metal was still pretty popular when I was going thru high school but it was on the downhill slope at that point. Metallica was still going strong especially with the Black album. Slipknot, slayer, CoB, and fear factory were still the rage. Music has totally changed now, testosterone is pretty much nonexistent in the music that today’s male teens and 20-somethings listen to. It’s sad.
Whenever I start watching a Fade to Black reaction my thought is: "I hope she/he appreciates the amazing extended soloing at the end because nobody does long, multi-layered solos like Metallica." Was not disappointed.
IT WAS INSANE!!!
I just saw Metallica in August in Pittsburgh and during fade to black a girl started balling out crying behind me. The impact this song has had on people is incredible. One of Metallica’s best
Metallica Master Of Puppets.. Must reaction.. True Masterpiece
that very well could be next!
@@slanzzy You could be the first to react to:
Metal Church Anthem To The Estranged.. It's about the homeless
Also they are very underrated, they have several great songs, dive into Metal Church.
One of the cornerstones of metal basically. As previously mentioned Seattle 89 live. For what I can tell, it looks like the best metal gig ever.
ruclips.net/video/xnKhsTXoKCI/видео.html
Master of Puppets and for your first reaction I suggest this lyric version. Enjoy it 😉😎
You need to listen to “Master of Puppets” It’s about drug addiction. And it’s great song.
It also (and principally) talks about politicians and secrets organizations
Hence the part of the song that says "chop your breakfast on a mirror"
Disposable heroes and Welcome Home (Sanatarium) are also a must.
@@juanmartinmarina1867 No, it's about drugs addiction.
Absolutely.
The Metallica journey isn’t complete without hearing “Master of Puppets”
Sanitarium as well, now those lyrics really rock your ass, and the instruments knock you down flat.
Absolutely. Also Battery
I would agree with this 100%
@o o mettalica can eet fuk
I would say the journey is never really complete.
This song would just break you down into pieces, literally destroy you. And then, when the song ends, you realize that it’s been actually gathering your pieces and reshaping them into a stronger version of your past self. It changes the way you look at life. Then suddenly you feel better after being so depressed. Such a masterpiece 🔥🤘
Metallica's The Unforgiven - Just as thought provoking as the last two.
Also, I never see real, genuine reactions to music (especially metal) anymore. It really is nice to see someone listening to the song for what it is and not just for what the media or society says it is. I really enjoy watching these, so thank you for putting these out there and giving the music a chance.
Demonic Sentry thank you so much for that nice comment! I'm SUPER glad you enjoy my reactions! I'm really enjoying Metallica so far.
wherever i may roam another great song but its hard to find a bad song to listen from them. thanks for another great reaction.
jeremy m I would argue it's easy to find bad ones in St. Anger and Lulu, but their first four albums are the greatest pieces of art on the planet
@@kaladin783 lyrically Black album, Load and Reload are still solid, not all the songs (e.g Ain't my Bitch).
@@kaladin783 their recent album "battery" is really good.
HardShot are you trolling?
@@davidgomez7882 Ain't my Bitch is a great song!
I reckon this song has saved more people from suicide than any other song. Period.
FACTS!
Some radiohead probably saved a good amount of people. Or made people suicidal. Either or
A Toute le Monde was a huge one for me
Goodbye to romance was my song for that I still listen to that song and think how beautiful the composition is on that track
Eh
This song is insane, because many listen the song on high depression with suicidal intentions but then when the amazing guitar solo comes they realized life worth it … amazing Metallica song
If you like fade to black, you'll like "welcome home sanitarium" too
My D/L first favorite Metallica song
Yup that’s what I just commented 😁
my personal favorite
WELCOME HOME SANITARIUM is the TOP EXPRESSION of Metallica emotional sound as Fade to black , i love it
This should be her next endeavor
Finally someone who doesn't talk during the song
Why does it matter? If you want to
Listen to the song, just watch the video and not a reaction.
@@bigchunges4280 it matters because the person doing the react can't have the proper experience of it if they keep pausing
Listen then react 😉
@@antivert That's no reaction for me in this form. I can also turn on the camera and hear a song the first time and then say my opinion. In a reaction I want to hear what the reacting person thinks about the parts and maybe watch a funny reaction in surprising parts
It's nice to hear what people think about certain parts of a song, but it's also a little annoying when they keep pausing it and talking that they miss important parts of the song.
Metallica and metal as a genre is so incredibly good, it sucks that metal gets a negative reputation from people that think it's evil or just loud noise, from personal experience metallica has helped me a lot with depression, and I know it has helped a lot of other people too.
Clowns at school did not get this when was new! But also from 50 feet from me you would think was a rap guy . Took a bit of grief for it. Still a damn good song at 51! Was not thinking about being almost old back then!!
Good music doesnt need aproval my friend, nowadays there are a bunch of assholes, Metallica doesnt need aproval from anyone. Still good to know it has helped you with depression, beat that fucker
@@tacuazinful If knew then what I know now might have stuck with music in high school. Was way to cool for tuba! Who thought that this kind of music mix would work so well??!!
I agree wholeheartedly- in the movie 'Deathgasm,' the character Brodie says that 'It's like when life sucks, and you feel alone and empty. Stick on some metal and life is better beacuse someone else knows the pain and the rage you're going through.' Exactly that. It helps so many people. Those I know mock metal as a genre, but it's their loss.
Also one of the top 3 live shows I've ever seen, along with Pink Floyd and Garth Brooks. Yes, my tastes are diverse. :D
My uncle committed suicide while listening to this song. The pain is realized each time I hear it because in this song we the family that knew him, know this song meant he was on the fence about it and in contemplation. The song didn't push him over, but tried to save him. 😔
Exactly
Sorry 😔
Rest in peace to your uncle I am so sorry god bless you and your family I'm sorry bro
Songs: The Unforgiven, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters. For whom the bell tolls.
To name a few. There are a lot of songs. And you’re right you just touched a bit of the hole world.
The Unforgiven is a must listen. Probably the most meaningful song for James Hetfield on a personal level.
“Disposable Heroes” would be a good “Next step” for you. Getting a touch heavier but deep lyrics. So many good ones lol
Definitely a deep message in this song. It’s definitely on the heavier side musically but very powerful musically and lyrically. I have seen this song, despite its fast pace and heavy sound, bring a man to tears. Give it a listen for sure.
@@jimmathieu3390 How does it bring someone to tears? When I hear it , I just wanna headbang lol.
Creeping Death -- the Exodus Story. Let my People Land of Goshen.
@@gravitydragon1904 musically for sure, but listen to the lyrics and put yourself in the situation they're picturing. Think of your 20 year old son being sent to go die. That shit's emotional.
I agree, Disposable Heroes I think is the best next step she can make.
And this - ladies and gentlemen - is a new member to the Metallica family.

I still listen to Fade to Black pretty much every day. It's meant so much to me.
Metallica is a really great band to react too, because most of their music addresses underlying social issues and controversial topics. Not only that, but they match their music very well to the lyrical content of their songs. These guys are masters of their craft. No one really makes music quite like they do. Just subscribed! Hope to see more
Mitchell Mills thank you!! So far, I have to agree with you. It's REALLY cool to see important topics being addressed in such a creative and talented way.
I really think you would appreciate Nothing Else Matters. Also, To Live Is To Die with a little research about the song.
When your ready to listen to faster and heavier stuff I recommend Dyers Eve. Its one of their fastest songs but it has a very personal meaning to the lead singer that I think you would appreciate.
Master of Puppets is also an epic song!
Love dyers eve. Damage inc and dyers eve always felt way too underrated to me.
Don't tell her to listen to nothing else matters, thats the lamest song James ever wrote, worse than everything on Lulu
@@xscorpx I disagree, I like Nothing Else Matters
Yes! Totally agree!
Metal stereotypes were always greatly exaggerated, especially for a band like Metallica. Their first 3 albums all contained beautiful and powerful music, some songs are gonna be more intense but they always remain very melodic and balanced. The way you appreciated the instruments in the last part of this song tells me you should react to "Metallica - Orion" , it's an instrumental, no vocals, very well crafted and balanced it captures the mind in a similar way that Fade to Black does at the end. Every reaction of that song is amazing and I feel yours would be very interesting as well.
Great reactions with an interesting perspective, keep it up!
Suggestion: "Metallica - Orion"
Hopefully she looks for the lyric video of Orion and The Call of Ktulu though hey.... ;)
That was my suggestion after One. I'm sure once our host listens to Orion it will take her to the next level. Looking forward to her reaction. If I may, I predict a complete assault on her emotions and a devoted member of the metal community. I see total victory.⌛🌹
I personally prefer to live is to die

This song is quintessential to all who want to sample anything Metallica. If there was a college course on Metallica, This song would kick off the 101 studies.
Yes, For whom the bell tolls is a masterpiece.
I love For Whom, but I don't even put in the top 3 on Ride the Lightning. Great song, but not in Metallica's top 10.
My brothers favorite song. We played this at his funeral, not for the lyrics but the instrumental.

Dryers... Correction....dyers Eve and to live is to die are the songs I can't listen to because it reminds me of my brother and my last memory of him playing lead guitar and our friend playing rhythm on " to live is to die" I think...where both guitars are in harmony and I get that picture in my head of him full of life and smiling playing that. God it tears me up inside...we lost him 4 yrs ago and just a year later my mother stopped fighting cancer of the liver and I had to sign for the doctors treatment to stop...thats the hardest thing I've ever done, I looked to my wife and said my God what have I done I just let her die. She was in horrible pain and all her organs were shutting down. What do you do you know.Been a hard 5 yrs.
Sorry for your loss my friend.
@@thunderballz74 sorry for your losses. Sometimes life gives us no options: you do what you have to do & cope with the hurt later :/

Finding a happy Metallica song is like trying to find an honest politician.
Lmao inr
😂
A happy Metallica song? Good luck.
This song was my dads favorite song. I took it as a suicidal song. Keep in mind I was the one that turned my dad on to Metallica. He took it as his relief from the bs with my mom. Now here I am decades later looking for revial of this song. My dad was a great man. 7+ years ago he passed of a sudden heart attack... I played this song over and over again cuz he loved the song for a different reason, but it came clear to me. I havent given in. It still is a masterpiece which I have new eyes for thanks to thid video. Much love
Man may your father rest in peace
My reaction was much the same when I first heard Fade to Black. Kids killed themselves when they heard the song, kids wrote Metallica letters about how the song saved them. People loved it. I loved it, i still do. When I hear the solo escalate, man dude. It takes me back to some pinché hard days. Each part was an emotion I felt before I tried suicide and when I hear those parts in the solo, I go through them again. At one point, the solo turns(in my mind) where you did it, and you're dying. And you're just alive enough yet to think i want to go back, I can't go back and at the end, it's too late. Goodbye. It hits me hard cause I didn't take those 3 steps though I tried three times. Fade to Black, man that song hits
I'm still here, even though my life was miserable for 16 years. I am kinda harsh on the shit but if anyone has problems out there, man. Don't do it. You can't see it, I didn't see it but you gotta keep going. There's people out there that will call into the darkness and keep talking to you till you come out. There are people out there that don't know how much more rich their lives will be with you in it. Just keep going man, people will help.
hang in there man- back in the day, this was song I listened to when I got the most depressed- and it always brought me out of my depression, in the end.
Same here, ultimate catch22. Ideal song to end it and yet so beautiful you remember there are things worth living for. Literally saved my life ! Only one drawback, I can't listen to it when driving. I always end up closing my eyes for that eargasm on the high note.
I'm tough as nails dude and this song breaks tears down my eyes. I have been there so many times. I can honestly say that Metallica has saved my life quite a few times. I have almost tasted death a couple times and Metallica has been there to pull me through it. The way they can tell a story with music notes and melodic and angry vocals is just amazing. Thanks James, Kirk,Lars, Cliff, Jason and Robert.
I need help. Im drowning man. The light I had in my life is dimming. I could check out. Make it look like an over dose. Ive been in a MAT program for a year and a month. Clean off opiods or anything cept bupes from the clinic every 2 weeks. But Im not happy. I am cold in my soul..losing weight aint helping . I have no appetite for food. The thought of it turns me off, so when i feel I need something, its prob food. I just grab a cigarette in its place. Im so fucking alone . I have a grown son and hold down my job and house..but each day is struggle. The only time Im not in all this pain is when I sleep. My sleep isnt good either. I sleep in stages and every night its the same. I dont know man..Im just so dam tired...in and of everything...sorry for all my details, but I dont have anyone that I relate to with this.
@@christopher8809 not much I can offer you.
Stay strong. It's a stupid world, but if you stay strong if ll be worth it.
“Hallowed be thy Name” is one of the greatest metal songs ever. Since you seems to like songs that have great story telling lyrics, emotional vocals and guitars, etc. when you listen you listen to the song you feel your right there hearing his confession or walking along side of him up the steps to the gallows.

I'll never forget Fade to Black on the radio, for the first Time in 1985, on a pirate radio station in Los Angeles, actually on my earphones at the pool..
I fell in love, went to 20 music stores, where the album was on back order for months, I knew then, this band would be epic...
And now their greatest masterpiece: _Master of Puppets._
Ou8y2k2 yes
Now my dear, try Metallica’s Welcome Home Sanatarium.
It's only fitting. Like the sequel to fade
Agreed was gonna sanitarium it's a good sequel to fade and one
YES!
Top it off with nothing else matters
I was gonna suggest the same
The Unforgiven by Metallica
Great choice. One that was a big part of my teenage years.
The entire Trilogy infact
A natural choice for the next song. Amazing video too. lml
bet
@@lapi4475 are u Finnish like 1/2 like me estonia
Yep, this song was the theme tune for my teenager years and it summed up exactly how I was thinking and feeling at the time. I'll not go into a hell of a lot of detail about those years in the mid 1980's to the early 90's but songs like this kept me going. Metal in general kept me going.
If you would like a story with no lyrics, try the instrumental 'Orion'. You'll understand what I mean after you listen to it.
Yes! Orion is a great track! One of my personal favorites! :)
one of Cliff's master masterpieces :)
Orion is good, but I think To Live Is To Die might be better if we're going to react to epic Metallica songs
@@lifttrucklouie3565 Orion is so epic!

Was. James was an incredible lyricist. That stopped early nineties
@@evh4611 Works like these are prolific.
@@evh4611 Still is a great lyricist. The vehicle for delivering his vision which is Metallica is simply not the same any more. Everything evolves into something. I liked Magnetic and Hardwired albums. Load/Reload were below par (which was set very high by themselves anyway). Some Kind Of Monster is well... what the name says.
Adi Solar St. Anger was written by the whole band so that explains why the lyrics were so bad.
@@prometheustv6558 Exactly, that is why it shouldn't really count. Plus, writing under pressure without having all the natural triggers which a writer is used to go though, is not writing IMO. It's improvisation at best.
The Call of Ktulu and Orion, those are instrumental songs, but these two pieces just show that there are no need for words to evoke strong emotions. They are like a journey, taking you where you'd never imagine.
+1 from me on Orion, such an impressive piece of music
looking on the side of my screen of my browser and seeing that you have reacted to more metallica.. i love it. they're deep and i grew up on them. i hope you love the rest of their stuff.
Metallica "Master of Puppets", it's PHD level heavy metal
Hallowed Be Thy Name or Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden would be a great next step
Preferably live versions of these
Hallowed Be Thy Name Hammersmith 1982 and Rime of the Ancient Mariner Live After Death would be ideal.

This song means a lot to me. I came back after trying. Not fake, for real. Depression is something I deal with, I accept it. I let it in, shake its hand, and cope. Better than never admitting, I am not well, right? Sometimes, I think, self-pity? But no way. A grad student, I work hard , good athlete, a good upbringing...with sometimes too much pressure. Or a lot of pressure. But, I live. Thanks for this and your reaction. You recognize that pain, and I can tell you felt that song. Love it. Keep doing these, they are interesting!
Disposable Heroes means something similar to me, came back after trying just the same and “BACK TO THE FRONT” hit me hard, telling me that no matter how bad it hurts me I’ll always bounce back
@@playofthegamecentral3590 Excellent song! YES, I know what you mean, that "BACK TO THE FRONT" just yells at you, that you are back again! You have come through something, could be anything and wham !! Back to the front! Gives hope, we will always be there, just determination and resilience. lasting through hard times. Hanging in, instead of giving in to so many vices in the world. man, great tune. So true, even when working out, gives you that feeling...This.Is. Me. I got it.
L theanine...try it.
hang in there lad.
Good for you! You survived which means you’re not done on earth yet and your life is meant to be a long one!..live your life and enjoy the tiny moments, I didn’t regret it and neither will you. Shit hits us hard sometimes clinically or just life in general, but fighting through shit makes it all the more enjoyable and saying you beat your demons is the best high you can encounter. Carry on strong as an ox buddy you got this!
I had the same exact opinion of Metallica at first. Now I'm just a die-hard fan. I think the next song you should give a try to ease you in the wide range of Metallica would be "Nothing Else Matters" and/or "The Unforgiven". Can't wait to see more!

Preach. I always rewind it a couple times when it ends.

When you are depressed listening to songs like this just feels like someone understands you, It's not gonna cheer you up but it just feels comforting like someone is there for you. To be honest when one is depressed there is no cheering up because doing that just feels stupid.
Kingsley Schmidt yes! Thats exactly it.
Yup, lyrichs about psychological pain are always very in detail which you can relate to. Really makes you feel less alone about how you feel.

Metallica - Master of Puppets, Orion, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, Halo on Fire, Fixxxer, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me (lyric videos)
Iron Maiden - "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", trust me, u'll appreciate it musically and lyrically.
And from ur end of video list, for u, this early in ur journey, NO "Little piece of heaven" for u, trust me on this. One day once u know the genre. They're a great band, but just not that song.
Good suggestions.
Fixxxer is a very good suggestion.
she can do the song... just not right away
Creeping death👌
Patrick bleeding me is phenomenal!!! Such and underrated song
You're a bit young, my daughter's age, but here's my feedback.
I'm a US Army veteran (was in Germany when the wall fell) and combat veteran from the Gulf War. We listened to Metallica all the time after the war. I'm not into heavy metal, but the Fade to Black album spoke to me. I took many years of piano lessons when younger. It wasn't until later, and the S&M album, that I realized the band and those songs are truly musical master pieces. They bring so many pieces of my life together. Thank you for realizing the emotion impact that this band is capable of achieving.
My father is a army vet he was also there where the wall fell 396 trans co motor medic. He was in from 86-92
Listen to Master of Puppets There’s a lot behind the words
This...100%. Not only one of their strongest messages but also incredibly well done, musically.
YES!! I was going to suggest this one as well. I think its one of their best. Pay attention to the transitions as well. Its about as close to perfection as you can get.
Metallica early Stuff:
- Heavy = For Whom the Bell tolls, Leper Messiah, The Thing that should not be, Harvester of Sorrow
- Thrashy = Allmost all songs on Kill'em All (First Album),Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Battery, Disposable Hereos, Damage Inc., Blackened, Dyers Eve
- Ballads = [Fade to Black], Welcome Home (Sanatarium), [One], The Unforgiven (older)
- Musical Masterpieces = Call of Kthulu (Instrumental), Master of Puppets, Orion (Instrumental)
And Heavy=Sad but true

I've watched "reaction videos" before, but yours are the best I've seen.
You show us your visual reactions while you're watching the video, and you wait til the end before you give us your vocal reaction and comments. By far the best. Can't wait to see more of your reaction videos.
Great job!!
fade to black is one of their greatest achievements
Try "Nothing else matters", but probably you somehow heard that one even by mistake some day in the past. But i have no doubt that you will like it, and it's a little happier to 😊
My fav, such a beautiful song
'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' by Metallica is right up your alley. You can react to that one, it's similar to this and 'One', respectively.
Up
my fav
Its a joy to see you hear this stuff for the first time and be so openminded, you are beautiful.
This is your second video for me in the first one I noticed during the song unlike the majority of reaction videos I've seen you didn't pause it over and over again at first I thought maybe you were just really into the song and you forgot but now that I've seen 2 videos without it happening I just wanted to say it's a wonderful thing to actually get to listen to the whole song straight through, some songs has a special power and energy that gets lost when you interrupt the flow so thank you and I'm a confirmed new fan.
I'd recommend “Unforgiven” as a follow up.
oh yes, gosh we going through all the classics first haha!
I would recommend "unforgiven" and "nothing else matters", probably their most popular songs and easier on the ear for someone who's not into this kind of music. I see what other people recommenting, excellent songs, but not fit for the purpose, I think
Well, you got One, a song about war and Fade to Black that talks about feelings, so I think the next step would be "The Day That Never Comes" which is a mix of both concepts. Ps: Cemetery Gates by Pantera is also a great one.
Anything from Pantera is great, let's be realistic. Let's not forget Lamb of God. If your going to get into metal let's go for the best.
@@mylittlegrundle Don't forget about glam days. But yeah 90-2000 Pantera is fuckin best.
James Hetlfield, as a lead singer and song writter, is very underestimated in his lyric writting. Not only is he capable of weaving layers of metahpor with in his lyrics, but this is also done after has measured the 'beats' (syllabic) from a melody formulated in his head. Always glad to hear someone grasping the emotive content/context of metallica songs. *thumbs up*
he is a badass guitarist!! No leaf clover!! amazing piece of work!!
James actually wrote the lyrics after some of their gear had been stolen. He was depressed and gave us this amazing song. I dealt with suicidal thoughts in high school (26 years ago), and this song actually helped. just knowing that other people felt the same way I did. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
More Metallica you say? The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The entire Master of Puppets album (the album that got me into the band back in 87), The God That Failed, Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, To Live Is To Die, For Whom The Bell Tolls and Wherever I May Roam. Enjoy.
Right there with you same time period too. This song was on repeat constantly then and it really helped get my emotions out. Helped a great deal when I lost a friend to suicide my senior year as well.
I can remember hearing this as a kid, on cassette, as my mom rocked us out in the car. I'm 37 now, and so glad I got to experience this moment in time. RIP Mom 🤍
Thank you for opening your mind to an older generations music. I grew up on it. Metallica made the pain I endured as a teenager more bareable.
I sit here crying watching another human being connect with this song. It's been a while since I spun this one up and it is just as powerful as ever. Plenty of us out here can relate to the feelings expressed in this song and if just one more person hears it and it opens their mind to the pain that depression brings to so many of us, I can find comfort in that.
The Metallica journey isn’t complete without hearing "Creeping Death"
Creeping death live @moscow 91
@@StuparuMR yeah, one of the best live.
It's pretty much a gospel
@@manubishe i am not christian, but it's pretty much the same strory about pharaoh in my religion.
No my son it only starts there. Trapped Under Ice or Escape.
You couldn't go wrong with their song The Unforgiven. Absolutely killer song.
@Sebastian What is that?
@Sebastian Cool, I'll check them out. Thanks.
"at this point I am thinking about how insane this solo is"... We all were slanzzy, we all were, every time
Fuck, i forgot how beautiful this song is... Havent listened to it in like a decade :O
You’d really like “Welcome Home, Sanitarium!!”
LEAVE ME BEEEEE
My favorite Metallica song. Hits home hard.
like rock/metal/rap? check out my band and give us a sub if you like it!! ruclips.net/video/xFDwDX-p8PI/видео.html DROWNtheFISH!!!
A great song!!! Sanitarium is awesome!!!
In my opinion the greatest metal song ever made. Perfectly flawless
Since you asked, this song definitely got me through some dark shit. Drug abuse and disease nearly destroyed me. I was ready to give up. And when I was at my lowest, it just felt good to hear someone else say they had “simply nothing more to give”. And that common understanding was the same thing that helped me pull out of it. Funny thing is they just wrote it after someone stole their gear!
Its funny how most ppl just ignore so called "heavy" music because they are usually loud and kinda hard to understand...well, their loss. Glad you are giving it a chance.
I cant believe thats, nobody listen Metallica for the first time - we Born with this, no way, 40 years great Art! !!!!
"Nothing matters, no one else" might have been part of the inspiration for the title of song Nothing else Matters. I didn't think of that until right now.
James wrote this at a pretty dark time. Their gear had been stolen and things were just uncertain. To me this song was an optometry, doesn’t glorify suicide but recognizes it as an option, not the best one. It also helped me latter on to understand my mothers suicide. It took many year of anger but I now understand. I don’t agree of course but I understand. Whatever pain she was suffering is over now. I just wish she was here so we could go through it/ experience it together, and work through it. I’m trying, but it isn’t easy.
This video is footage of someone morphing into a Metallica fan....
😂😂👍🤘
I remember those days... were the best days of my life...
Slayer Dude Why sadly?
IDK how you can listen to metallica and not become a fan. I heard one song over 20 yrs ago been to see them twice my all time favorite
I've seen them 5 times or so, took my oldest when he was 9 and again at 17. Both of us play guitar as well, first song I taught him was Welcome Home (Sanitarium).
My 2nd is now 9, I was really hoping to take him to see Metallica this summer. It would have been a tradition. It's ok tho, we can wait. As long as they are safe, along with everyone else in the world. I can't wait till this is over tho, to show him 1000's of people rocking out to Metallica on stage once again...
I love the moment when she starts smiling.....recognize real music!
Part of the emotion of their songs comes from the way they incorporate their instruments into the music. I'd suggest Sanitarium, Master of Puppets, Lepper Messiah or Orion (if you want an instrumental that will move your emotions) next! Your reactions are great!
Back in the days when Cliff was still there.
I still get tears in my eyes because he had to go. With him, Metallica would still be the hottest band in the world. I can only agree, all the songs you have selected are very cool. At Orion I get goose bumps every time. But I think she should choose Master Of Puppets as the next song, and not just because of the incredibly good lyrics.
No song can better reflect Metallica.
Good choices :)
My pick is to live is to die. I love these instrumental.
They had an incredible album after cliff in AJFA. And black album was full of solid songs. Just missing epic songs like the first 4. But yes cliff was a huge loss to them, musically.
I feel the emotion and vision they had is what separates them from other metal bands, even though I thoroughly enjoy some Megadeth, Slayer, pantera, etc.
@@ktgo4424 All great bands. I love Raining Blood. For me it's more towards Maiden. IMHO the best band in this world. I've been listening to them for almost 40 years. But there are so many good bands out there that I can't list them all anyway. ^^
I think your interpretation is spot on. Imagine listening to this track at your most darkest hour. The lyrics of the songs of all of the albums will take you on the rollercoaster of their lives. You can experience with them how they matured over the years. Fade to black has been one of my favorites, but there are so many.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS - a little something for the fans
MASTER OF PUPPETS - drug addiction
ORION - very VERY cool instrumental
ENTER SANDMAN - dreams/nightmares
KING NOTHING - greed
UNTIL IT SLEEPS - madness
WHEREVER I MAY ROAM - freedom
THE UNFORGIVEN - self explanatory
(Just a few suggestions...)
All these... and I've always like The Memory Remains for some reason
Dont forget: SAD BUT TRUE: HeadBang
I agree! I've always liked The Memory Remains and Sad But True! Both are bangers!
Sanitarium - an all time favorite. Wiskey in the Jar - Great cover of a Thin Lizzy.
The simple answer is yes.....to all these
i keep coming back to your reactions, you actually listen and everyone else i try to watch stop the song 4..5..6 .... times , its so annoying, if you stop a song at any moment, you disturb the flow!! keep up the great reactions!! absolutely love what and how you do it!!
Disposable heroes is an amazing song with an interesting lyrical content. It's a little heavier musically though.
Favorite song but perhaps just a little hard at the moment. Let her get a few more songs in before we hit her with the heavy.
I'm glad you're listening to the original studio version of this song. I feel James' voice is totally different now, and this is absolutely the best version on earth. I just watched another reaction video of someone watching the late concert version. This is truly the most pure way to hear this particular song.
Slanzzy: "It's clear to me that Metallica is extremely focused on lyrics"
Metallica: "I AM THE TABLE!"
FRANTIC-TICK-TICK-TICK-TICK-TICK-TICK-TOCK
We dont talk about st anger
We want her to like Metallica lol
They focus on composition. Why else would there be an amazing 2 minute Long solo after he says goodbye.
Slanzzy love the feels from this music you display upon your face it reminds me how I feel a first I listened and everytime
Try “to live is to die”. Almost an instrumental tribute to the loss of their bassist and a picture of the progression of life with music.
