Some people claim Metallica were sellouts for doing these type of songs. "It's not like old Metallica." I think Bassist Jason Newstead said it best, "Yeah, we sold out. Every stadium and every venue."
Tommy Lee once said you can't be that Hard rock/Metal guy all the time or you'd be fake. As an artist there has to be a softer side. For the record I loved The Black Album!.
Anyone who thinks artists can't expand their repertoire or style isn't worth paying any attention to. Musicians are artists, and they have lots of ways to express themselves. No one complains when a painter uses different colors or brushes.
Yeah--a lot of people who don't even like metal music in general like this. But it's also a lot better than most of the so-called "power ballads" of this era.
@@keepitwitmine The entire Black album was extremely controversial, creating a rift among fans and opening up cries that they were "selling out." And "Nothing Else Matters" exemplified it better than anything else on the album, as it's one of the softest songs they've ever done. To be honest, I personally don't care for much they did AFTER the Black album, but I love the Black album itself.
@@Kylopod Yeah I feel the same way. In my personal opinion And Justice For All was the last great album they created. But I like everything from Black on back. lol
My brother just passed away on March 2nd. This is the song we played at his candle light vigil. He was only 39 and it was sudden but this was one of his favs. My bro lived life his way and always made sure we lived ours the same way. Thank you for reacting to this song. 😭
My condolences on the loss of your brother at such a young age. My oldest daughter died a month before her 31st b-day (July 2018). Like your brother, Lauren was a big Metallica fan, as is her little sister. She also lived her life her way & though many times it didn't work out the way she planned & things went haywire, she always said she never regretted any of it, even the bad times. Sadly her story didn't get a happy ending. This song, Fade to Black, & Enter Sandman were Lauren's top 3 favorites from Metallica. Much love to you & your family during this difficult time. Take care & stay safe!
1997 baby here ✋. For older music, I basically started with 80s because of my mother. She's the reason I hate Cindy Lauper, but she also played Wind of Change and Nothing Else Matters alot. Also. Stairway to Heaven. Eventually, I dug into alot of music on my own, owned 60s-70s cars and go to alot of car shows. I'm jam packed with music from the best decades. I personally don't listen to anything much after the late 2000s. Maybe Imagine Dragons or whatever (the Thunder song sucks) For 2000s, it's mostly Linkin Park and techno or such. 90s Has rock and some techno. 80s, all rock/metal 70s, rock and disco stuff 50s-60s. Of course your greatest hits. Rolling Stones, Animals, Turtles, Elvis, Beatles, etc. I also know rockabilly stuff and trucker songs and junk like that.
This was a 'rock ballad'. It's an amazing song that introduced Metallica to people who do not listen to metal. The best part is the way they filmed it in the studio. It showed them as people and how they put a recording together. I LOVE this song.
James Hetfield is a truly talented musician with a great vocal range that gets overlooked by a lot of non-fans. And he does it while also playing rhythm guitar
Lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield wrote the song (credited to Hetfield/Ulrich) in 1990 while he was on the phone with his then girlfriend. Since he held the phone with one hand, he plucked the four open strings of a standard E-minor chord with the other, which eventually made up the first two bars of the song. The lyrics, which talk about being "so close, no matter how far", were also dedicated to his girlfriend, indicating the bond they shared even when Hetfield was on tour. Initially, the song was not meant to be released, as Hetfield had written it for himself, but after drummer Lars Ulrich heard it, it was considered for the album. Sc: Wikipedia
A friend I've knows since I was a child is a beast on guitar. Back in our party days he'd grab one of my dad's guitars and play Metallica for hours while my sister and I sang along. One of the best times in my life. I still talk to him but we've both started families and don't talk as much but he's still very dear to me.
You are getting me through all this “stay at home” stuff going on man. Feels like I’m reliving the first time I heard a song through your experience. Sincerely appreciate all you are doing my dude.
Take the time to appreciate, to truly understand, and to FEEL this song, this timeless band, their words, their love for us fans, and for all that matters in life! METALLICA, James, Trujillo, Lars and Kirk.....love, LOVE, love you guys!!!!
Metallica doesn't need to yell at you in a song to be good. Some of their best songs are instrumentals. This is one of my favorites. Hell... they are all my favorites!
Notification squad represent! Love Metallica. Let’s go!! One of my favorite things is the way this guy hears how deep the lyrics to some of these songs are. I love it when people are able to appreciate things on a deeper level.
Hall & Oates to Metallica. Love the diversity and your genuine reactions. "Stargazer" by Rainbow when you can. Stay Well and thanks for helping with cabin fever.
The Black Album -- panned for being too commercially successful -- like they weren't allowed to make a decent living! Not a bad song on it and I, for one, loved it! Excellent
Black Album is both over and underrated. Sandman and Nothing Else Matters are imho overrated but maybe that's because I heard them too much growing up. My Friend of Misery though, that never gets old
Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth said it best, I think. Another group had criticized them for making money for their albums, saying they sold out. Dani told them, 'When you play stuff you believe in, don't be mad when other people appreciate it, too.'
Cool, and likewise my friend. I happened to get to see them on the Black Album Tour, two nights back-to-back (the second show was added last minute because the first show sold out), which was just the best! No opening act, nearly 3 full hours straight of nothing but Metallica. I remember it like it was yesterday too... Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. Peace!
“They always set you up...” not this time! A genuine rock ballad with great guitar work and vocal harmonies. Love this song, and James solo at the end 🔥🔥🔥
Most people do not realize how good Metallica is. The drummer even now with one arm, is considered in the top 5 of all time drummers.And that is just one performer. Brings back memories from my partying days, hehe
Lost my sister to Covid-19 virus 2 weeks ago and want to thank all of you posting as much as you can during this pandemic. It takes our minds off of our losses and heartbreak, but most of all how horrible it is that we can't be together to mourn, laugh, and heal together. Bless you all and to Jamal, a big hug, and know I can feel your big heart and compassion. 💞🙏✌🙋
Sadly it's possible. I know a bunch of people who maybe heard parts of Metallica's songs (this one included). But they never REALLY listened to it. And they wouldn't be able to easily recognize the group. Sad but true 😔
The Black Album which this song comes from was one of the 1st CDs I every bought. Was a fan before and became lifelong after...Keep up the videos J! Love your reactions!
Jamel- thank you so much for entertaining us while still having to go to work,etc..- it’s greatly appreciated and much enjoyed! Stay safe out there friend- ❤️💛🤘🏼✌️
It ain't a build-up, bro. This is Metallica's moment to sit down, slow down, and have a heart-to-heart with the fans, with each other, with the whole head-bangin' world. I don't use the word 'beautiful' often enough, but this was their moment to stop and make something beautiful and powerful, instead of just powerful like they normally do.
One of my favorite Metallica songs is hero of the day A very cool song for the times we are all going through Our front line worker's are all heroes Take care everyone
This is our wedding song!!!! OUR LIFE IS OURS, WE LIVE IT OUR WAY!!!! It's my ringtone too. Also, Lars looking so thoroughly irritated about drumming slowly kills me every time!!
Greetings Brother Jamal. This single from Metallica came out on 20 April, 1992 days before I would go on my first deployment while serving active duty military. This was also the song I used to propose to my late fiancee who passed away before my deployment was over. Between my fellow brothers who served with me who passed and my late fiancee, this song marks a significant time of my life where honor, strength, and love is paramount in one's life.
This whole CD was created after the passing of Cliff Burton their bassist. His death really changed the sound of Metallica. Most fans will say they sold out and went soft but I think the loss they all experienced really changed them as artist. I really enjoy listening to the Black album the songs are great and are deep if you dive into the lyrics.
cliff burton died well before this, they recorded end justice for all after his death, i don't think the change is linked, and i really think the big changes came with load, this was some basic change but more about coming out of the 80s.
In interest of peace and so you don't get MAULED at a Metallica concert here goes:: Cliff Burton died in a rollover bus accident while they were on tour promoting their latest album Master Of Puppets,,,,after that new guy Jason was Bass-guitar on Justice for All ,and every album after that is until ST ANGER, then they got Robert,,,hope it sinks in,
Honestly, I love how they experimented with slower kinds of songs. Until it sleeps, nothing else matters, the house Jack built, the unforgiven (I, II, III), bleeding me, etc. I love them so much, and it baffles me how people hate it when they are so beautiful
ah yes. The classic slow-dance song for the 10-year-old kids at the tween disco in the 90's. Really appreciate your videos. Been binge-watching them for few days now and can't stop.
Metallica is by far my fav metal band !!!!!!!!! Been a fan since 1986. METALLICA LOVES THEIR FANS AND THEY ARE VERY HUMBLE THAT'S WHAT I LUV ABOUT THEM. THEY HAVE GOTTEN ME THROUGH REALLY BAD TIMES.. METALLICA IS EVERYTHING.. IM A HEADBANGER SO METALLICA GETS ME GOING...LOL... LOVE YOUR REACTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BAND IS PURE TALENT THROUGH AND THROUGH
this song is very simple but at the same time very deep your reaction is very genuine and listening to it by looking at how you feel it, just as one does is great.
It was very amusing seeing you thinking it will be a hardcore song. Metallica has so many facets and I am happy to see you discovered the other side of them :)
"X-Pac" = Kirk Hammett "Chris Jericho" = Jason Newstead And just FYI, the real Chris Jericho has his own metal band called "Fozzy" that I really think you should check out!
I remember when this cd came out one the best cds ever I blasted in my car everyday on way and at school all the time. metallica is one my top 5 all time greatest bands ever. and this song is one my favorite songs ever I could listen to this everyday . It is a pure masterpiece I remember when this came out I have all the metallic cds I seen them live in concert there still playing you should go see them fn awesome they have flames and everything its amazing the show they put on and so many great classic songs icon legends and this song is pure perfection. I know you are going love this song so much . I also love how they slow it down even though there still considered metal rock this song is so good. I can't wait to watch your reaction to the perfect sound of it also. I remember when they came out with this the band argued with the producer he said he wanted them to at least slow down one song to attract more listeners and the band didn't want to do it. But they convinced them to do it and they came out with this perfect masterpiece. And was saying its one there best songs and everybody loves it the guitar riffs amazing the drums killing it the singing and the lyrics amazing . Some people claim Metallica were sellouts for doing these type of songs. "It's not like old Metallica." I think Bassist Jason Newstead said it best, "Yeah, we sold out. Every stadium and every venue." hell yes
The very first Metallica song I ever heard and still my favorite. Although I do live their heavy stuff. One of my favorite albums is the S&M concert. Do yourself a favor and revisit some of these songs on that album with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
I believe this song was made after the band got some formal training in classical music. It inspired them to make a more slow paced instrumental focused song.
James Hatfield is an Icon in the rock community, not nearly as much as Freddy Mercury from Queen but he was and still is somewhat an inspiration for most artist. You can't go wrong with James Hatfield. That's why him and the rest of Metallica are still in business, even after the death of Cliff Burton.
Jamel.... I’ve seen Metallica in concert 6 times & this is the one song (other than “Enter Sandman”) that I look forward to hearing 🤙😝 They’ve released so many awesome songs over the years but those 2 are my absolute favourites 🤘😜🤘🔥🔥🔥 All the best mate 🇦🇺✊️😁👍🇦🇺
Saw them live during the death magnetic tour in st.louis 08. I think 5 songs in Kirk opened this song and when james started in the whole stadium just went nuts. Ive always felt that its hetfelds ballad to the change they went thru. Oddly enough after nothing else matters they dived straight into enter sandman as a way to tie up the moment. Either way it was great show.
There is so many heavy metal bands from the 80s that have heavy mellow ballads like this one and they’re so good. I couldn’t even for the life of me name all the bands that have these great songs that you would love.

I love this and the older stuff. If you keep doing the same stuff for years, it gets boring, and you'll eventually fade away.
Black album
This made people who weren't into Metallica's music, fall in love with them.
Yeah--a lot of people who don't even like metal music in general like this. But it's also a lot better than most of the so-called "power ballads" of this era.
Unfortunately it also made people who liked Metallica's music fall out of love. But I like this and the music that came before.

So many people think he uses autotune, but thats just his voice.
The man is a heavy metal poet.
Somebody thought this was autotune? 😆 Literally no auto-tune even sounds like being used
Captain FALKEN auto tune didn’t exist yet when Metallica recorded this song

Unforgiven TWO.
Hell do the entire trilogy
All the unforgiven

This song wasn't supposed to even be a part of their library. But the right ears heard it and here we are now many many years later.
“They always set you up...” not this time! A genuine rock ballad with great guitar work and vocal harmonies. Love this song, and James solo at the end 🔥🔥🔥
one of the best rock ballads ever..that is for sure!
I like how he said this song was going to rock his face off. It does, in a very different way.
after all these years, this song still makes me cry. its the most beautiful love song i have ever herd. i'm very glad you enjoyed it.
Love your reaction and wide range of appreciation of music no matter the genre

This is possibly my Favorite Metallica song. The entire album is great.
Ah...was in high school when this came out...first kiss with my hs gf at a school dance to this song...it was good.
School dance playing Metallica was a crazy idea when I was in high school lol. Then again only the first three albums had come out when I graduated.
Omg. Metallica isn't supposed to be "romantic". 😣
It was the first "slow dance" that came on and I wasn't gonna miss my opportunity
@@claytonthomas9262 You shot your shot. Can't go wrong with that.

your reaction is very genuine and listening to it by looking at how you feel it, just as one does is great.
It was very amusing seeing you thinking it will be a hardcore song. Metallica has so many facets and I am happy to see you discovered the other side of them :)
Jamel... you are my new favorite person!!
So much fun watching you enjoy the good ole days music. Thx!
Jamel: "I know it's going to pick up."
Jamel: "I thought it was going to pick up but it didn't."
Jamel: "It picked up."
Watching your videos is therapeutic for me too! Thank you for doing these; you remind me why I love music!
"X-Pac" = Kirk Hammett
"Chris Jericho" = Jason Newstead
And just FYI, the real Chris Jericho has his own metal band called "Fozzy" that I really think you should check out!
Hell yeah, dude. Sandpaper, Lights Go Out, and Painless are fire tracks.
if he reacts to Judas, I hope he does it with A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY!
Def do Le Champion’s theme song with Judas.
"Sheamus" = James Hetfield 😂
Yeamin Malik 😹😹😹
I remember when this cd came out one the best cds ever I blasted in my car everyday on way and at school all the time. metallica is one my top 5 all time greatest bands ever. and this song is one my favorite songs ever I could listen to this everyday . It is a pure masterpiece I remember when this came out I have all the metallic cds I seen them live in concert there still playing you should go see them fn awesome they have flames and everything its amazing the show they put on and so many great classic songs icon legends and this song is pure perfection. I know you are going love this song so much . I also love how they slow it down even though there still considered metal rock this song is so good. I can't wait to watch your reaction to the perfect sound of it also. I remember when they came out with this the band argued with the producer he said he wanted them to at least slow down one song to attract more listeners and the band didn't want to do it. But they convinced them to do it and they came out with this perfect masterpiece. And was saying its one there best songs and everybody loves it the guitar riffs amazing the drums killing it the singing and the lyrics amazing . Some people claim Metallica were sellouts for doing these type of songs. "It's not like old Metallica." I think Bassist Jason Newstead said it best, "Yeah, we sold out. Every stadium and every venue." hell yes
Him:"I know they're about to rock my face off."
The rest of us metalheads: "Yeah...."
this song brings back a lot of memories for me.... from friends of mine in high school. I remember listening to this album with them a lot.
The very first Metallica song I ever heard and still my favorite. Although I do live their heavy stuff. One of my favorite albums is the S&M concert. Do yourself a favor and revisit some of these songs on that album with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
Tabletop Rebellion one of the best live shows ever in my opinion .
@@chrisbayliss3532 Totally agree! I heard they were planning to do it again. But I feel like the first time was lightning in a bottle.
You gotta love the "on the road with the band" music videos that all the big Metal Bands had back in the day.
You add James vocals to Lars' percussion skills and you've got the near perfect combination for a great rock band.
My 1st concert was these guys,I was all of 13 at the time.. almost 42 & still rocking to these guys!!🤟🤟🤟
I believe this song was made after the band got some formal training in classical music. It inspired them to make a more slow paced instrumental focused song.
Um hello? Fade to Black and Master of Puppets ????
Cool idea, but: nope.
For whatever reason I grew up with a dislike for Metallica but watching your reactions changes lifelong biases. Crazy.
*Bleeding Me*
Moon Gazer you beat me to it lol
One of my fav’s
This is my favourite song. It is our song for my wife and me. The S&M live version is the real treat!
Who’s watching during quarantine?!
I'm watching from 100 years in the future - this song has really held up well ...
Watching in the NE. But GA is no longer on quarantine.
Everyone. Even if you aren't self isolating, it's still quarantine time.
GA isn't on quarantine any more. Their ban has been lifted.
He.Just.Posted.this. Less than an hour ago.
One of their best, it’s one of the reasons. we love them
S&M “No Leaf Clover”
Thank you for keeping us all entertained with your reactions and you always give us great content stay safe
Singer: james hetfield
Guitar: kirk hammett
Bass: jason newstead
Drums: lars ulrich
Newstead was/is awesome
*Newsted
Jason was amazing, but RIP Cliff Burton, true visionary
Lol WHAT BASS
Kirk hammet actually isn’t on this song. It was all James.
My lord! The black album is one of the best ever! No joke just about every song on it is badass.
X pac and Jericho. That's hilarious!!
I pissed myself when he said XPAC. 😂
I thought I misheard him! Jamel, I hope you've been watching Jericho in AEW lately, because it's amazing!
you did bring joy into my life with your reaction. thank you
a new band for you
DEF LEPPARD - "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
Watch the drummer
James Hatfield is an Icon in the rock community, not nearly as much as Freddy Mercury from Queen but he was and still is somewhat an inspiration for most artist. You can't go wrong with James Hatfield. That's why him and the rest of Metallica are still in business, even after the death of Cliff Burton.
Jamel.... I’ve seen Metallica in concert 6 times & this is the one song (other than “Enter Sandman”) that I look forward to hearing 🤙😝 They’ve released so many awesome songs over the years but those 2 are my absolute favourites 🤘😜🤘🔥🔥🔥 All the best mate 🇦🇺✊️😁👍🇦🇺
✌🏾🧔🏾✌🏾
@@jamelakajamal please reaction to Guns'n Roses "November Rain" oficial video the band is the ROCK, The best Guitar 🎸 is SLASH 😉
Saw them live during the death magnetic tour in st.louis 08. I think 5 songs in Kirk opened this song and when james started in the whole stadium just went nuts. Ive always felt that its hetfelds ballad to the change they went thru. Oddly enough after nothing else matters they dived straight into enter sandman as a way to tie up the moment. Either way it was great show.
Jonathan Crews .... You can’t go wrong with going to a Metallica concert huh??? 🤙😝👌
@@gerardroll6468 It was an excellent show, no regrets. Also first time I heard the sword which opened for metallica that night. Great band as well.
our first dance as husband & wife was to this song. Just the best!
This was their ballad. James wrote the melody while on the phone with his then girlfriend.
There is so many heavy metal bands from the 80s that have heavy mellow ballads like this one and they’re so good. I couldn’t even for the life of me name all the bands that have these great songs that you would love.
You should listen to their version of Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey In The Jar"
