    These guys are probably the ones I like watching in terms of reaction videos. No overexaggerated thumbnails, no cringy intro, they know what they are taking about in terms of music, no shouting of screaming for views and overall they seem like a balanced and nice couple.

    I just wanna say that true MetallicA fans enjoy MetallicA, because they love the band, the members, their stories, their musicianship. And I understand the die hard MetallicA fans out there are upset. But that's what we have to learn to do, and that is give that feeling that we felt 30-40 years ago when we first heard MetallicA, and let the new wave of the MetallicA army that is to be likey the last. And that's what it's about as a band and musicians. If you hate it? That's fine! But I love and live for diversity. And MetallicA gives it to me. Just because some of us don't enjoy it, dosnet mean the kid hanging out by the street light with no one isn't feeling alive to this. Think about that!

    You know, like every band their music goes down hill as they get older, but I think for how old they are and where they're in their career, I think it's pretty good. I mean every band goes through this at some point in their career. You can't bring back the past, you can only live for today, and that's where they are at in their lives.

    Popped in to comment on the new additions to the set. Love the line up. Huge Tolkien fan so the hobbit is big. At work, we carried the arcade1up lineup of games, including the Star Wars pinball.
    As far as the song, Metallica is not really my cup of tea. But we do sell a lot of it on vinyl. Fun thing an older fellow was in with his nephew aged early teens, with long involved discussion of Metallica. The kid bought a cd from his own pocket money, the vinyl was too costly for him.

    First off glad to see you guys back, I was wondering what was going on, I’m glad you explained it. Sorry to hear your difficulties in getting your posts blocked, unfortunately with what the record companies are doing with the strikes, especially for playing full songs, unfortunately you might need to adjust your posts to accommodate the asinine record companies.
    I like it, I want to hear the rest of the album. This was a cool song, I’m not going to say it’s their best, but it’s good. 🎸🎸👍🤘🎤🎶😎
    P.s. - Did you know your website is gone? When I saw your website gone last month I figured you might not be posting anymore because of Kel’s health situation. I canceled my Patreon because I thought you were done producing reaction videos, now that you explained why not posts for 3 months.

    Artist: Ren, Title "Hi Ren". This will blow your minds. Ren is taking youtube by storm, there are hundreds of reaction videos on this one.
    He is a british songwriter from Brighton. Multiinstrumentalist, Rapper, Singer, Poet, Bard, a multi talented artist in the truest form.
    You have never heard anything like this, cause what he does is completely unique.

    Metallica have always had parts that feature very dark, heavy parts as well as lyrical content. Sad But True, Harvester of Sorrow, and The Thing that Should Not Be are just a few examples. This song was decent, obviously not as good as anything from ride the lightning or Master of Puppets or as catchy and mainstream as stuff from their self-titled album. It's good though, feels like it could have fit on the last album. The solo did feel a bit too long on this song though. If Kirk played a more streamlined solo like in Lux Aeterna, it might have fit a little better.

    From Japan  I'm relieved that both of you are doing well. I enjoyed your BAND-MAID reactions.
    They will continue to work during the coronavirus restrictions, touring the United States in May and August of this year, and participating in three rock festivals in the United States in May. They celebrate 10 years together this year and they never stop. Please pay attention.

    I agree with Kel about that one part. For me, it’s not that it gets “darker”, it’s that it completely breaks that wonderful hypnotic vibe with a totally uninteresting melodic line that detracts from the power of the groove. Also agree bass should be more foreword in the mix. Regarding drumming: Rich, I think your asking for Lars to be more like Bonham, but as far as I know, he’s always been a fairly straightforward drummer….besides he’s pushing 60…..I’m just glad he can still play with power.
    Regarding the guitar solo: I agree with Ken but also think that that’s what most Metallica fans want to hear. For me, I would have preferred he take a lower register route with lots of distortion and wag wah…… would have loved to have seen what a young Jimmy Page would have done with that vibe. He would have been all over deep growling dark chord and wah wah.
