Then they released Load and it all ended, they showed us what wimps they were. Not even the same band after that. Most metal bands bury them. Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, even Anthrax. Metallica is barely metal now....... Just poseurs.
Since this is fresh in your mind, check out a band called The Warning. They went viral as kids (like 10-13 year olds) covering this exact song about 9 years ago. Since then they’ve started blowing up and Metallica invited them to do the cover again in their own style for the Metallica Blacklist album. They took it and made it their own and it is fantastic. Would be interesting to get your thoughts on their live cover of this from the teatro theatre show. The band is 3 sisters from Mexico and they are incredibly talented and very unique. You’ll like going down that rabbit hole.
Metallica always opens their concerts by playing Ennio Morricone’s “The Ecstasy of Gold” from the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. They are one of my favorite Metal bands!
I've seen Metallica 5 times. I've Never heard The Good, The Bad and the Ugly music played. Admittedly the last tour I saw was for....hmmmmm. I don't remember what album. It was 15 years ago at least. This must be a recent trend by Metallica.
My last count was 5 or 6 times. Ecstacy of gold every time and at least the last 3 or so they did a newer intro to one with so much pyro I would wear sunglasses.
One time I was out to diner with my Bible study group and we were talking about Metallica and this dummy says, "Hey! Remember S&M; it was great!" Everyone looked at me like I was nuts until everyone remembered it was the album they made with the Sanfran Orchestra.
I liked that album as a whole but some songs translated better than others with the orchestra. No Leaf Clover is one of them, of course Nothing Else Matters, Hero Of The Day...surprisingly enough, came out extremely well on that album. I was surprised how much I like that song with the orchestra behind it.
Diane’s Patreon is like there’s a party in my internet & everyone’s invited! Diane’s videos are always fun & she’s grown genuinely positive community there, who never fails to cheer me up.
This band, and album was my introduction to not only the band, but metal music. I have seen them 11 times on two continents. Never a bad show. The energy amongst the fans is explosive. Tens of thousands of people coming together under the bond of music. Metallica really has mastered the art of change up. They have a long and storied history. 12 albums - billions of ticket sales. I hope you do more. Fun fact: The child repeating the lines of "now I lay me down to sleep" is actually the child of producer, Bob Rock.
People are always surprised when their first exposure to metal is either Metallica or Maiden, especially the London lads because of their Historical approach to most of their material and how it's not just 'noise' !!
I love Metallica because when my dad drove me to school he would listen to them. This is one of my favorite songs. I also like "The Unforgiven" If you haven't listen to "The Unforgiven" I recommend it. I love your reaction on this.
@@DianeJennings I wouild suggest listening to The Unforgiven, then The Unforgiven II, and finally The Unforgiven III, to hear the similarities and differences in the music and the themes (especially the third song.)
@@DianeJennings unforgiven is a melodic spanish guitar style song but kinda sounds like an Old Western film score... I think it might "be more to your tastes". The story behind Unforgiven is quite a sad one too. It has to do with his mother's death and the overly religious views he was brought up with... might be worth looking up the context before hand. And Nothing Else Matters is another acoustic tune that you'd enjoy... it's more lovey dovey.
There's a group called "The Warning" which did a cover of this which is pretty impressive. The group is three sisters, although for this cover they joined up with another female singer to handle some of the singing parts. Nice professional video.
You're referring to the version that Metallica invited The Warning to record their version for the Black Album 30 anniversary release. Metallica told them they could do with the song as they wanted they just couldn't alter the lyrics. The Warning teamed with a Canadian singer for the song. The Version from the Warning is the first song on the anniversary album. They kick ass on it.
Happy Friday Diane! I want to give a big shout out to the line workers who restored power to my neighborhood after the deadly tornadoes dromedary last Friday. I am lucky to come out unscathed. Have a great Easter weekend!
This iconic song has been covered by so many bands, it became hard to listen to after hearing it 8 or 9 thousand times......until a trio from Mexico covered it in 2014. Three sisters, 14, 12, and 9yrs old. FastForward to 2021 and Metallica plans a 30th Anniversary release of The Black Album. They asked specific bands to pick a song off the original album and do a cover of it, the only requirement was the lyrics had to be the same. They had 7 days to write and record the song and video in the middle of a pandemic. The band is THE WARNING. They are as good LIVE as they are with the studio recordings. Check out the release from Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022, Enter Sandman. You won't be disappointed. For fun, maybe do a double reaction, first the 2014 straight cover, and, on the same reaction, the 2022 LIVE performance. They did Metallica PROUD.
A few of us have mentioned TW, including myself to Diane. I been a sub of hers for years, and only ever once (this comment section) mentioned them to her. Not even a single like with all the views she has here, is extremely disappointing. I gave yours a like, as it's just utter rubbish to not have a single like, on a perfectly legit comment. While she is new to music reactions, she is not new to the comment sections.
Diane...After all this time watching and reacting to your channel, I never thought I would have the chance to connect a video of yours, with my favorite band in the world. Metallica did a 30th anniversary LP to their massive LP Black, which Enter Sandman is on. They invited 50 artists from around the world to do covers from this LP. They told them do turn it upside down, inside out, what have you, just keep the lyrics true to the originals. Track 1, Side 1 (of 4) is the re-imagined version of Enter Sandman. It's done masterfully by 4 young girls. 3 Hard rock sisters from Mexico, and 1 pop singer from Canada. "The Warning, Ft. Alisia Cara" made the song and shot the video in 6 days, in 2 countries, with American producers/mixing it. It's absolutely incredible, and they play it at every show they have today. They will be opening for 5 Muse shows this May in Europe, and hitting up just about every major festival there. Download, Rock AM/Ring, and many more. ruclips.net/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/видео.html
Great choice! Good to see you listening to a wide variety of music. This was the song that played whenever Mariano Rivera cam on the field for the New York Yankees to close out a baseball game. Always epic!
@@DianeJennings Hi Diane, I have a suggestion for you to listen to. If you could listen to the Scorpions' song Wind(s) of Change & react to it, I think you'll like it. This is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I love to roller skate and when they play Enter Sandman, it's our cue to go as fast as we can on our wheels; there's just something about that song that makes you want & need to go fast! Love it!
Ironically, Rivera is a born again Christian and never liked this being his entry music. Sound tech in the stadium just played it one day and the crowd went nuts for it, so it stuck.
Happy Friday Diane. I'm really not into Metallica and their music but I have many friends who are into them and I respect that. It's good to see you do these reactions and keep an open mind when it comes to music. Hope to see more of these types of videos. Have a great Easter weekend and be well. All the best to you and Chewie.
It's a great song to speed skate to. You hear that opening & you just need to go fast on your wheels! Love it! I love Metallica. The song Whiskey in the Jar is great, as well as The Unforgiven.
I both Love and Hate this song. I've heard it a million times on the Radio. Hence the Hate. Here i am hoping to hear Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets but NO. It's Enter Fucking Sandman.........AGAIN.
@@sidneyvandykeii3169 If you are lucky you get to hear a reimagined version. *Alessia Cara & The Warning - "Enter Sandman" (Official Music Video) - The Metallica Blacklist Album*
The 1st time I saw Metallica was in 86' when they were still an opening band and Cliff was still here. Diane you must see them live at least once! Next yr will be concert #14 for me.
Diane checking out Metallica! Wow, the lyrics are Soooo Dark. I really appreciate your willingness to check out these varied styles of music. Will the Irish Girl switch again to goth and become a MetalHead? The video did win awards and your analysis of it's impact on the song is spot on! Hope you don't have nightmares, it's always good luck getting a good night's sleep! Must be Chewie doesn't much care for this tune, he's nowhere to be seen!
You should check out Master of Puppets. Great song and it was used in Stranger Things. One of the characters actually plays it. The lyrics are deep, and it has an element of classical music to it (actually, a lot of metal does). It’s really in your face, so for someone who isn’t used to metal, it may be intense, but there is a breakdown that’ll give you a little room to breathe and catch your breath. Beware, it is a roller coaster of a song. Keep cranking out your amazing videos Diane!
I hope you and the family have a good Easter, I miss seeing Chewie as seeing him always cheers me up. He must have been busy when you recorded this, I didn't care for the music but liked hanging with you as I am always happy to support your work and tell people about it.
I'm a long time Metallica fan, I go back to the eighties with them. James Hetfield aka 'Papa Het' always has a meaning behind his lyrics, probably multiple themes, in which he bases his lyrics and music.
This was the song/album that got me into them. I listened to the black album for 6 hours straight on a greyhound from Seattle to Olympia and county transit from Olympia to Aberdeen wa. Still love every song on this disc
The comment about how the teenage angst appeal turns into nostalgia was spot on. Thanks for giving it a crack. What did your bro think of you doing this reaction?
This song came out when I was 11, and my sister and I loved it. This is as metal as I go though lol Love the background image subtlety reminding people to like, comment, and subscribe. Very clever 👏🏻
You should also check out Metallica's One - it's about a soldier who is trapped in his own body - blind, deaf, muted, amputated, but he is still alive. Very dark and powerful. Based on a true story.
You should check out the centipede. It's about a serial kidnapper who nabbed 10 people and then sewed the mouth to the anus of the next person until all ten people made one centipede. He would feed the first one and it traveled through and out the last one. It's based on a true story.
Thanks Diane, I really enjoyed your reaction to Metallica and since you also took care of the poem for today, I will just bash the keyboard with a non-poetic comment… I am an owner of “The Black Album” and have listened to it many, many times since it came out in 1991. “Enter Sandman” was one of five huge hits on the album and it propelled the band to super-stardom. “Nothing Else Matters” and “The Unforgiven” are 2 power-ballads from the album that I think you may like a lot more than “Enter Sandman”. According to the Wall Street Journal, As of Sept 2021, “The Black Album” is the fourth longest-charting album in the history of the Billboard 200 album-sales chart, dating back to March 1956, when it became a regular, weekly ranking. With 623 nonconsecutive weeks, it is behind only Journey’s “Greatest Hits,” Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Legend” and Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
You should check out The Warnings live cover from Teatro Metropolitan, or even the cover official video from the Metallica Blacklist 30 year anniversary album. They are currently on tour in your side of the world. Completely worth your time
Hello Diane, it's my first time commenting to your channel! Loved your reaction to the Sandman video! I would like to suggest the Fratellis Henrietta, acid jazz singer or Dogtown. Actually any song by the fratellis is very good! Love and best wishes to you and yours from Southern California.
The football team at Virginia Tech takes the field to this song. Imagine 70,000 people jumping up and down and going crazy to this. It's quite a scene.
Mariano Rivera also used it as his entrance music as closer for the Yankees. And it's probably the Metallica song you are most likely to hear at any sporting event.
A lot of metal songs have deep lyrics. People just hear noise, usually. 🤷🏻♂️ Metallica has so many great songs to jump into, you can’t really go wrong with many. Speaking of deep lyrics, Linkin Park. Not metal, exactly. I’d suggest “Leave Out All the Rest” by them. The lead singer, Chester Bennington, killed himself a few years ago and listening to their songs now, he was asking for help for a looooong time and nobody really noticed. Any of their more popular songs would work too. Or one of their “latest” songs, Lost. It was recorded 20 years ago and was left off the album and when they were going through their stuff to put together a 20th anniversary box set, they found it again mixed and ready to go.
Chester Bennington allegedly unalive himself. That’s the official narrative. Bennington died on 20 July which is Chris Cornell’s birthday. Chris died two months before Chester. Bennington and Cornell we’re both working on a project to expose some major dirty secrets on people. If you look into the way Chris and Chester died it’s more of a sacrificial deaths. Plus look into who Chester’s biological dad is.
Nice reaction.. please check out "THE WARNING".. Enter Sandman cover they did for Metallica's Black list album. So different you'll be amazed.. THE WARNING is 3 sister's from Mexico who are unique in every way. They all sing .. their harmonies are very special.. they rock hard... TWA (The Warning Army).. 🎶🤟☮️
I loved the reaction, thank you. I suggest another song for you, whether you react or no. One , that video still haunts me today, it gets to the inner core, at least it did for me. Love the channel , keep up the good work.
I'm genuinely surprised that this is the first time you've ever heard Metallica. I would suggest if you haven't heard it already, listen to their version of "Whiskey in the Jar" (which I've heard is a great Irish drinking song).
@@DianeJennings Yeah, that's one of the best versions of it. Of course, I also like Keith Harkin, who used to be in Celtic Thunder. And the original by Thin Lizzy.
@@DianeJennings There's an Irish male singing group called the Dubliners who sing what I guess could be called the authentic or the drinking version which you might want to listen to (m.ruclips.net/video/L__TrWhq4Uk/видео.html) but Metallica's version hits pretty hard too (m.ruclips.net/video/wsrvmNtWU4E/видео.html)
I also highly suggest the song metallica did about drug addiction called Master of puppets it goes a bit hard with the instruments but it's really good and it has a calm part in it that is beautiful it's one of their top most popular songs they made. The words they use in it r so poetic.
You need to see The Warning, and all girl Rock band out of Mexico of three sisters do their 2021 cover of this song that was requested by Metallica for Metallica's anniversary album, which is full of covers on purpose. I actually like The Warning's 2021 cover better, and I've been listening to Metallica for a long time.
I searched your home page and found you have not reacted to "HOME FREE". They surprise everyone who reviews them. They are an acapella group that always amazes people. VERY WORTH REVIEWING. I think a good place to start is "Man of constant sorrow". Thanks for the good content, keep up the great work.
Hi Diane, I'm a new subscriber, I would like for you to check out the band The Warning. They are 3 sister from Monterrey Mexico, Dany play lead guitar, Pau, plays drums and the youngest Ale, plays bass. They are about to start there 2nd America Tour, then after that, they are coming to the UK, to open for the band Muse for 5 shows. I really think you would like them. Thank you for your time.
This is the song that got me into Metallica! Their lyrics have some angst, but are usually fairly deep. "One" is among their most popular - the video may make you cry. My favorite is "Fade to Black" - a song about un-aliving oneself. Though it was heavily criticized, thousands of teens wrote to the band about how the song helped come back from the brink because they knew they weren't alone. Another band you might enjoy is Alice In Chains. "Rooster" was a big hit and has a similar vibe.
Another great reaction, a couple of songs that come to mind that you may like are, Silent Lucidity by the American band Queensryche about lucid dreaming and Thunderstruck by the Australian band AC/DC, their video for it - AC/DC Thunderstruck (Offical Video) is a lot of fun the video is 10 years old and has been viewed over a billion times but is timeless.
I've been listening to Metallica since 1983, among many other metal bands. This a fairly tame song compared to their early stuff. My new favorite band is Lovebites, an all female metal band. Check out Lovebites Stand and Deliver. You'll be glad you did.
I just subscribed because of one of your reactions to a comedian (Girl, you are versatile!) and then found this. I love this song but prefer the more modern take by The Warning, preferably the live shoe at Teatro Metropolitan. As a reaction or not, I bet you will love it.
My favorite!!! Also, you might like this 3-sisters band, The Warning: Enter Sandman - ruclips.net/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/видео.html or Choke - ruclips.net/video/TlOy0XbFVlM/видео.html
Hi new sub..you have have have to Hear a band of 3 sisters called The Warning do this song! Metallica ask them to cover it but to change things around and boy did they!!! They did it live at the Teatro Metropolitan Theatre ..Enter Sandman..this Band is better live then studio! Warning one song will leave you wanting more!!!
Heck yeah Scott! they have 3 versions of it. The first one in 2014 as itty bitty kiddos that went viral, then many years later the blacklist Official re-imagined version with Alissa Cara, then the live version of that one. Everyone is a banger, but I agree the Live with the Pro Recording at the Teatro CDMX, is the best of all 3! 🤘⚡🤘
I'd suggest Alice in Chains' "Rooster". It's a song that Jerry Cantrell (guitarist/backing-/co-vocalist) wrote about his dad's experiences during the Vietnam war. The song is great and so is the music video!
You should check out ‘The Warning’ 3 sisters that are going to be the next big thing in rock. Amazing musicians, singers and songwriters that have impressed some of the best bands of all time. They’ve been chosen by Guns and Roses to open for them a couple of nights in the US, after being impressed when they opened for them in Mexico. GNR could’ve literally hand picked from hundreds of bands, but chose them above more established artists. Muse was also so impressed with them, they personally asked them to open for them during part of their European and UK tour. The list goes on and on.
It's great to see you discovering this classic metal song. These guys have made a ton of deeply emotional music over the years, you'd be surprised. Listening to "The Unforgiven" right now. If you ask me, if you haven't been through hell you're always gonna write some blend, boring music.
I saw them in concert about a year after this came out, I loved them SO much!!! They are metal, but not really "heavy" metal - that would be more like Judas Priest, Disturbed, Type O Negative ... James Hetfield is an amazing performer, and Lars Ulrich is an underrated genius drummer. They were incredible. (unpopular opinion ... before Load)
I've never actually heard the album version of this song, I've only heard it as part of the live performance they did in Moscow in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet union. The concert had 1.6 million people in attendance. I wouldn't want to be there but it is quite the spectacle to see on youtube.
I know they've already been mentioned at least once...but, I'm going to make it at least twice...and recommend the band Rush. The song "Subdivisions" has already been mentioned...and you can't go wrong there. Or, "Tom Sawyer"...or "Spirit of Radio"...or "Limelight"...or, I could keep going on (I'm a bit of a fan.) But, yeah, Rush is definitely worthy of a future reaction.
Metallica 80s/90s heavy metal music holds up well even to present day. The black album that sand man song is on is their number one selling album. Metallica lyrics have a poetry vibe to it with a metal vibe to it. Even wrote that on a school paper once. A Metallica song more your vibe you would like is nothing else matters. It symphonic and soothing with the poetry vibe adding acoustic and electric guitar. I can Picture You getting Chewie a Mohawk wig and a leather jacket for the Heavy Metal and Fast Paced Rock Songs. Happy Metal Friday. May your Easter Weekend Be filled with family, good food/drinks, cookies, cakes, chocolates, and Easter treats for Chewie Too. 🎵🎸🎤🐾🍗🍫🥤🎉🥳
Nice reaction, so strange to see someone react to bands like Metallica for the first time. 😄👍 How about some German Folk Metal: Feuerschwanz - Ultima Nocte or Bastard von Asgard. Greetings from Munich 👋
One, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, Creeping Death, No Leaf Clover, Bleeding Me, To Live is to Die; there are so many great songs by this band. My favorite band by a mile since I was 14. They have a new album coming out on Friday as well.
I'm 55 and been a metal head since the early 80's so I guess I wish it had been more to your tastes as a genre but everybody's different and I thought you gave it a fair shot .
I saw an interview and when this song was first written it was about "Crib Death" (SIDS). But they thought it was a bit dark and softened it before they released it.
Glad you checked them out DJ. I understand not your particular thing. Wonder what ED thinks. If you have not listened to Queensryche that would be interesting including their song Silent Lucidity. Happy Easter!
Everything is sung about in heavy metal, no holds barred, and no holding back! There's songs of fear, happiness, dread, anger, love, lust, hate, joy, sunshine, popsicles (I don't know how to spell that), death, going to hell, meeting God, EVERYTHING! A recomendation I'd like to make would be "Aint Talkin About Love" by Van Halen. Thanks for the fun video!
I'm glad you don't stop the song and try to analyze it it the middle Other folks seem to stop a song at the best parts and blah blah blah what they think it means
I especially like the concert they did with the San Francisco Orchestra. Hearing them perform this with a full orchestral backup really adds a richer perspective. Most of the concert is here on YT.
There are a few artists who will not copyright strike you still out there. Renmakesmusic, Sam Tompkins, Romain Axisa, The Big Push (all of these acts are related) They all have their own special something to them as well. Ren is a lyrical genius and is very deliberate with his lyrics, musical tones, delivery, and even his videos. Sam's voice is absolutely lovely (the duet Blind eyed with Ren is definitely well worth the watch). Romain Axisa was the guitarist for the Big Push along side Ren for a time. His guitar skills are amazing. He also has his own solo stuff that's sweet and just lovely to listen to. AND they all come with the perk of not copyright striking you.
Watch the Moscow live! You need to see what a very very very very large crowd looks like. This will probably never happen again in our world. Epic x 10!
Teenagers?? Im 53 and love it. I was an 80s guitar player. Started in 85. Was 15 and heard Over The Mountain by Ozzy and that guitar sound changed me forever. 2 weeks later I had my first guitar and have been playing this kind of music ever since.
HAD to click this.... long time subscriber, and this morning I got tickets to see Metallica live (for the 6th time) Actually: Guns n Roses, Iron maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, and Tool.... at the Power Trip Festival.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
Please watch their live concert version of this song. Russia. 1.6 MILLION people in attendance!!!
I’m seeing a few people suggest that… Maybe I’ll take a look at it over on Twitch during the weekend
Hell yeah!
You ain't kidding!
@@DianeJennings you have to listen to Master of Puppets or Damage Inc.
The best two videos from that show are Creeping Death and Harvester of Sorrow
They sounded so fierce and aggressive in their day, but you can't deny their musical and lyric talent. Head banging rock.
Absolutely
they sure did their first 4 albums are my favorites by a long shot
Then they released Load and it all ended, they showed us what wimps they were. Not even the same band after that. Most metal bands bury them. Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, even Anthrax.
Metallica is barely metal now....... Just poseurs.

@@sidneyvandykeii3169 they have been doing it since the Justice Era I think
No since the begining, you can hear it on concerts from 1983@@jacobsherry941
I think S&M with the full orchestra backing them is AMAZING!!!
Yes... "No Leaf Clover" is a great song. She might also like some of the Metalica remakes that Apocalyptica did on cellos.
One time I was out to diner with my Bible study group and we were talking about Metallica and this dummy says, "Hey! Remember S&M; it was great!" Everyone looked at me like I was nuts until everyone remembered it was the album they made with the Sanfran Orchestra.

Aww shucks thanks Matthew! That means a lot
This band, and album was my introduction to not only the band, but metal music. I have seen them 11 times on two continents. Never a bad show. The energy amongst the fans is explosive. Tens of thousands of people coming together under the bond of music.
Metallica really has mastered the art of change up. They have a long and storied history. 12 albums - billions of ticket sales.
I hope you do more.
Fun fact:
The child repeating the lines of "now I lay me down to sleep" is actually the child of producer, Bob Rock.
Oh that’s so I interesting!
They6 may have mastered it, however Maiden invented it!
There are metal songs about basically everything. From madness, to death, to love, to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, to the sinking of the Titanic.
Exactly. You name it there's probably a metal song about it somewhere.
And, yes, there's a metal song about bubble gum
People are always surprised when their first exposure to metal is either Metallica or Maiden, especially the London lads because of their Historical approach to most of their material and how it's not just 'noise' !!
And the Bismarck of the kriegsmarine.
Not to forget the beginning of life on Earth, up to the evolution of humankind and it's eventual ending
I love Metallica because when my dad drove me to school he would listen to them. This is one of my favorite songs. I also like "The Unforgiven" If you haven't listen to "The Unforgiven" I recommend it. I love your reaction on this.
Thankee!
@@DianeJennings I wouild suggest listening to The Unforgiven, then The Unforgiven II, and finally The Unforgiven III, to hear the similarities and differences in the music and the themes (especially the third song.)
@@DianeJennings unforgiven is a melodic spanish guitar style song but kinda sounds like an Old Western film score... I think it might "be more to your tastes".
The story behind Unforgiven is quite a sad one too. It has to do with his mother's death and the overly religious views he was brought up with... might be worth looking up the context before hand.
And Nothing Else Matters is another acoustic tune that you'd enjoy... it's more lovey dovey.
I forget how old I am until people talk about their parents doing things...

Aww thank you. That’s so great to hear! I’ve been following the story. Glad you are OK.

Diane...After all this time watching and reacting to your channel, I never thought I would have the chance to connect a video of yours, with my favorite band in the world. Metallica did a 30th anniversary LP to their massive LP Black, which Enter Sandman is on. They invited 50 artists from around the world to do covers from this LP. They told them do turn it upside down, inside out, what have you, just keep the lyrics true to the originals. Track 1, Side 1 (of 4) is the re-imagined version of Enter Sandman. It's done masterfully by 4 young girls. 3 Hard rock sisters from Mexico, and 1 pop singer from Canada. "The Warning, Ft. Alisia Cara" made the song and shot the video in 6 days, in 2 countries, with American producers/mixing it. It's absolutely incredible, and they play it at every show they have today. They will be opening for 5 Muse shows this May in Europe, and hitting up just about every major festival there. Download, Rock AM/Ring, and many more. ruclips.net/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/видео.html
Nice headbanging. Metallica has been a force for a long time, they just make great music. Great reaction Lady DJ.
Great choice! Good to see you listening to a wide variety of music. This was the song that played whenever Mariano Rivera cam on the field for the New York Yankees to close out a baseball game. Always epic!
Rock on! I’m enjoying the variety
@@DianeJennings Hi Diane, I have a suggestion for you to listen to. If you could listen to the Scorpions' song Wind(s) of Change & react to it, I think you'll like it.
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I love to roller skate and when they play Enter Sandman, it's our cue to go as fast as we can on our wheels; there's just something about that song that makes you want & need to go fast! Love it!
Ironically, Rivera is a born again Christian and never liked this being his entry music. Sound tech in the stadium just played it one day and the crowd went nuts for it, so it stuck.
Thank you for sharing Metallica with us Diane. I hadn't seen the video in a long while.
Happy Friday Diane. I'm really not into Metallica and their music but I have many friends who are into them and I respect that. It's good to see you do these reactions and keep an open mind when it comes to music. Hope to see more of these types of videos. Have a great Easter weekend and be well. All the best to you and Chewie.
You too!
6:58 I have so many good memories of this song coming on during school dances & everyone jumping around & going wild.
I was never a Metallica band fan but this is the most played song that I remember. I enjoyed the guitar riffs the most. It gets you into the rock mood
Yes Definitely!
It's a great song to speed skate to. You hear that opening & you just need to go fast on your wheels! Love it! I love Metallica. The song Whiskey in the Jar is great, as well as The Unforgiven.
I both Love and Hate this song. I've heard it a million times on the Radio. Hence the Hate.
Here i am hoping to hear Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets but NO. It's Enter Fucking Sandman.........AGAIN.
@@sidneyvandykeii3169 If you are lucky you get to hear a reimagined version. *Alessia Cara & The Warning - "Enter Sandman" (Official Music Video) - The Metallica Blacklist Album*
Thanks! When do the Irie roll Rs ?
Not sure yet
The 1st time I saw Metallica was in 86' when they were still an opening band and Cliff was still here. Diane you must see them live at least once! Next yr will be concert #14 for me.
Love the joy you bring to our days Diane!
Diane checking out Metallica! Wow, the lyrics are Soooo Dark. I really appreciate your willingness to check out these varied styles of music. Will the Irish Girl switch again to goth and become a MetalHead? The video did win awards and your analysis of it's impact on the song is spot on! Hope you don't have nightmares, it's always good luck getting a good night's sleep! Must be Chewie doesn't much care for this tune, he's nowhere to be seen!
Maybe not… I don’t look too good without my fake tan 😂
This was their encore at Slane in 2019 .. never saw so many rockers run back into a venue for more head banging .. epic gig.
You should check out Master of Puppets. Great song and it was used in Stranger Things. One of the characters actually plays it. The lyrics are deep, and it has an element of classical music to it (actually, a lot of metal does). It’s really in your face, so for someone who isn’t used to metal, it may be intense, but there is a breakdown that’ll give you a little room to breathe and catch your breath. Beware, it is a roller coaster of a song.
Keep cranking out your amazing videos Diane!
I hope you and the family have a good Easter, I miss seeing Chewie as seeing him always cheers me up. He must have been busy when you recorded this, I didn't care for the music but liked hanging with you as I am always happy to support your work and tell people about it.
I'm a long time Metallica fan, I go back to the eighties with them. James Hetfield aka 'Papa Het' always has a meaning behind his lyrics, probably multiple themes, in which he bases his lyrics and music.
This was the song/album that got me into them. I listened to the black album for 6 hours straight on a greyhound from Seattle to Olympia and county transit from Olympia to Aberdeen wa. Still love every song on this disc
The comment about how the teenage angst appeal turns into nostalgia was spot on. Thanks for giving it a crack. What did your bro think of you doing this reaction?
I have no idea! I don’t think he watches my videos 😂
@@DianeJennings Well, since you've now listened to "his" music, he owes your video a watch!
@@DianeJennings it might be a fun Patreon video of your family reacting to Miss Saigon😆
I think it's AWESOME that you make money on your channel in other ways than your reactions. Been a fan for a long time, Miss. Love your channel!
This song came out when I was 11, and my sister and I loved it. This is as metal as I go though lol
Love the background image subtlety reminding people to like, comment, and subscribe. Very clever 👏🏻
Thankee! Ooh lil metal head Heather and her sister! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Happy good Friday! I really enjoy this video. Happy Easter to you and to your Family.
Thank you! You too!
There is a fantastic version of this song done by The Warning ft Alessia Cara.. it completely flips the song on its head
Just dropping by to say hey! Keep the channel going, you're awesome.
You should also check out Metallica's One - it's about a soldier who is trapped in his own body - blind, deaf, muted, amputated, but he is still alive. Very dark and powerful. Based on a true story.
It's not based on a true story. It's based on Dalton Trumbo's book, then movie Johnny get your gun.
You should check out the centipede. It's about a serial kidnapper who nabbed 10 people and then sewed the mouth to the anus of the next person until all ten people made one centipede. He would feed the first one and it traveled through and out the last one. It's based on a true story.
@@aaronpicking4935 But his book is based ... ok, I guess more inspired on a true story. From WW I
Love to see you liked it. Keep up the good work. X
as a person who generally doesn't listen to heavy metal, I am very impressed by metallica's musicality.
'Musiciality' is incredible throughout the metal seas. Moreso in the underground.
Its awsome to watch u on the edge of rocking out
Thanks Diane, I really enjoyed your reaction to Metallica and since you also took care of the poem for today, I will just bash the keyboard with a non-poetic comment… I am an owner of “The Black Album” and have listened to it many, many times since it came out in 1991. “Enter Sandman” was one of five huge hits on the album and it propelled the band to super-stardom. “Nothing Else Matters” and “The Unforgiven” are 2 power-ballads from the album that I think you may like a lot more than “Enter Sandman”. According to the Wall Street Journal, As of Sept 2021, “The Black Album” is the fourth longest-charting album in the history of the Billboard 200 album-sales chart, dating back to March 1956, when it became a regular, weekly ranking. With 623 nonconsecutive weeks, it is behind only Journey’s “Greatest Hits,” Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Legend” and Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
Wow! It’s so rare to not see a rhyme from you here… Good comment, though!
This made my day! One of my favorite reactors reacting to my favorite band of all time! Welcome to Metallica!!!
You should check out The Warnings live cover from Teatro Metropolitan, or even the cover official video from the Metallica Blacklist 30 year anniversary album. They are currently on tour in your side of the world. Completely worth your time
p.s. completely different vibe without regurgitating the original...
Hello Diane, it's my first time commenting to your channel! Loved your reaction to the Sandman video! I would like to suggest the Fratellis Henrietta, acid jazz singer or Dogtown. Actually any song by the fratellis is very good! Love and best wishes to you and yours from Southern California.
The football team at Virginia Tech takes the field to this song. Imagine 70,000 people jumping up and down and going crazy to this. It's quite a scene.
Gonna have to go see that in person someday
Omg that’s a LOT!
There’s a great group of reactions that Diane could do to college football entrances. VT’s, the Noles, UScar, etc.
V Tech has a nice reaction but imagine 1.6 Million people all jumping like in the Live in Moscow 1991 video.
Mariano Rivera also used it as his entrance music as closer for the Yankees. And it's probably the Metallica song you are most likely to hear at any sporting event.
This is one of my favorite video's. The nightmares were so relatable. You should really see Spoon Man by Sound Garden
A lot of metal songs have deep lyrics. People just hear noise, usually. 🤷🏻♂️ Metallica has so many great songs to jump into, you can’t really go wrong with many. Speaking of deep lyrics, Linkin Park. Not metal, exactly. I’d suggest “Leave Out All the Rest” by them. The lead singer, Chester Bennington, killed himself a few years ago and listening to their songs now, he was asking for help for a looooong time and nobody really noticed. Any of their more popular songs would work too. Or one of their “latest” songs, Lost. It was recorded 20 years ago and was left off the album and when they were going through their stuff to put together a 20th anniversary box set, they found it again mixed and ready to go.
Chester Bennington allegedly unalive himself. That’s the official narrative. Bennington died on 20 July which is Chris Cornell’s birthday. Chris died two months before Chester.
Bennington and Cornell we’re both working on a project to expose some major dirty secrets on people. If you look into the way Chris and Chester died it’s more of a sacrificial deaths. Plus look into who Chester’s biological dad is.
Linkin Park are a fave of mine!!
Please do more! Love Metallica! My favorite ❤ thanks Jennings
Nice reaction.. please check out "THE WARNING".. Enter Sandman cover they did for Metallica's Black list album. So different you'll be amazed.. THE WARNING is 3 sister's from Mexico who are unique in every way. They all sing .. their harmonies are very special.. they rock hard... TWA (The Warning Army).. 🎶🤟☮️
I loved the reaction, thank you. I suggest another song for you, whether you react or no. One , that video still haunts me today, it gets to the inner core, at least it did for me. Love the channel , keep up the good work.
I'm genuinely surprised that this is the first time you've ever heard Metallica. I would suggest if you haven't heard it already, listen to their version of "Whiskey in the Jar" (which I've heard is a great Irish drinking song).
Whiskey in the jar? That sounds alternative to what I just heard…
@@DianeJennings Yeah, that's one of the best versions of it. Of course, I also like Keith Harkin, who used to be in Celtic Thunder. And the original by Thin Lizzy.
@@DianeJennings There's an Irish male singing group called the Dubliners who sing what I guess could be called the authentic or the drinking version which you might want to listen to (m.ruclips.net/video/L__TrWhq4Uk/видео.html) but Metallica's version hits pretty hard too (m.ruclips.net/video/wsrvmNtWU4E/видео.html)
If you do listen to their version of Whiskey In the Jar, I would recommend the live version at Slane Castle in 2019.
Metallica is one of my most favorite bands!! I’m so happy you listened to them!
I also highly suggest the song metallica did about drug addiction called Master of puppets it goes a bit hard with the instruments but it's really good and it has a calm part in it that is beautiful it's one of their top most popular songs they made. The words they use in it r so poetic.
Love how quickly you got into this song.
You need to see The Warning, and all girl Rock band out of Mexico of three sisters do their 2021 cover of this song that was requested by Metallica for Metallica's anniversary album, which is full of covers on purpose. I actually like The Warning's 2021 cover better, and I've been listening to Metallica for a long time.
I searched your home page and found you have not reacted to "HOME FREE". They surprise everyone who reviews them. They are an acapella group that always amazes people. VERY WORTH REVIEWING. I think a good place to start is "Man of constant sorrow". Thanks for the good content, keep up the great work.
One of my favorite Heavy Medal Bands. Got to see them in 1983 here in Chicago at the Metro. So F'in good!
Hi Diane, I'm a new subscriber, I would like for you to check out the band The Warning. They are 3 sister from Monterrey Mexico, Dany play lead guitar, Pau, plays drums and the youngest Ale, plays bass. They are about to start there 2nd America Tour, then after that, they are coming to the UK, to open for the band Muse for 5 shows. I really think you would like them. Thank you for your time.
This is the song that got me into Metallica! Their lyrics have some angst, but are usually fairly deep. "One" is among their most popular - the video may make you cry. My favorite is "Fade to Black" - a song about un-aliving oneself. Though it was heavily criticized, thousands of teens wrote to the band about how the song helped come back from the brink because they knew they weren't alone.
Another band you might enjoy is Alice In Chains. "Rooster" was a big hit and has a similar vibe.
Another great reaction, a couple of songs that come to mind that you may like are, Silent Lucidity by the American band Queensryche about lucid dreaming and Thunderstruck by the Australian band AC/DC, their video for it - AC/DC Thunderstruck (Offical Video) is a lot of fun the video is 10 years old and has been viewed over a billion times but is timeless.
A billion 😱
Oooh, good suggestions. With Queensryche though, what about Eyes of a Stranger?
love these type of reactions!
I've been listening to Metallica since 1983, among many other metal bands. This a fairly tame song compared to their early stuff. My new favorite band is Lovebites, an all female metal band. Check out Lovebites Stand and Deliver. You'll be glad you did.
I just subscribed because of one of your reactions to a comedian (Girl, you are versatile!) and then found this.
I love this song but prefer the more modern take by The Warning, preferably the live shoe at Teatro Metropolitan. As a reaction or not, I bet you will love it.
My favorite!!! Also, you might like this 3-sisters band, The Warning: Enter Sandman - ruclips.net/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/видео.html or Choke - ruclips.net/video/TlOy0XbFVlM/видео.html
Lol Love the Accent and Wasn't sure if you were talking about the Band or YOU when you Said "Metal Lica"😆😆😆😆
Hi new sub..you have have have to Hear a band of 3 sisters called The Warning do this song! Metallica ask them to cover it but to change things around and boy did they!!! They did it live at the Teatro Metropolitan Theatre ..Enter Sandman..this Band is better live then studio! Warning one song will leave you wanting more!!!
Heck yeah Scott! they have 3 versions of it. The first one in 2014 as itty bitty kiddos that went viral, then many years later the blacklist Official re-imagined version with Alissa Cara, then the live version of that one. Everyone is a banger, but I agree the Live with the Pro Recording at the Teatro CDMX, is the best of all 3! 🤘⚡🤘
@@gmantw She needs to check them out and she will dive down the rabbit hole like we did!⚡🤘🏻🔥
Warning does it as good if not better great 3 sister group from mexico
I saw a couple of other channels check out that video. It’s insane.
I'd suggest Alice in Chains' "Rooster". It's a song that Jerry Cantrell (guitarist/backing-/co-vocalist) wrote about his dad's experiences during the Vietnam war. The song is great and so is the music video!
My daughter’s university, Coastal Carolina, uses Rooster as hype music before their baseball games. Chants up!
You should check out ‘The Warning’ 3 sisters that are going to be the next big thing in rock. Amazing musicians, singers and songwriters that have impressed some of the best bands of all time. They’ve been chosen by Guns and Roses to open for them a couple of nights in the US, after being impressed when they opened for them in Mexico.
GNR could’ve literally hand picked from hundreds of bands, but chose them above more established artists.
Muse was also so impressed with them, they personally asked them to open for them during part of their European and UK tour.
The list goes on and on.
It's great to see you discovering this classic metal song. These guys have made a ton of deeply emotional music over the years, you'd be surprised. Listening to "The Unforgiven" right now. If you ask me, if you haven't been through hell you're always gonna write some blend, boring music.
Absolutely! It’s the rough with the smooth that makes good stories
Your inner film nerd took over caught up in the video style and technique. That's cool. BOOP
Absolutely!
Metallica is one of the bands that really got me in to metal. I suggest The Hu, they're a Mongolian Folk Metal band.
You are now an official headbanger. Welcome to the club.
I saw them in concert about a year after this came out, I loved them SO much!!! They are metal, but not really "heavy" metal - that would be more like Judas Priest, Disturbed, Type O Negative ... James Hetfield is an amazing performer, and Lars Ulrich is an underrated genius drummer. They were incredible. (unpopular opinion ... before Load)
🎉🎉🎉
Nice reactions.....loved it.
I've never actually heard the album version of this song, I've only heard it as part of the live performance they did in Moscow in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet union. The concert had 1.6 million people in attendance. I wouldn't want to be there but it is quite the spectacle to see on youtube.
Since a lot of people are mentioning it in comments, I think maybe I’ll check it out on Twitch over the weekend
I know they've already been mentioned at least once...but, I'm going to make it at least twice...and recommend the band Rush. The song "Subdivisions" has already been mentioned...and you can't go wrong there. Or, "Tom Sawyer"...or "Spirit of Radio"...or "Limelight"...or, I could keep going on (I'm a bit of a fan.) But, yeah, Rush is definitely worthy of a future reaction.
Metallica 80s/90s heavy metal music holds up well even to present day. The black album that sand man song is on is their number one selling album. Metallica lyrics have a poetry vibe to it with a metal vibe to it. Even wrote that on a school paper once. A Metallica song more your vibe you would like is nothing else matters. It symphonic and soothing with the poetry vibe adding acoustic and electric guitar. I can Picture You getting Chewie a Mohawk wig and a leather jacket for the Heavy Metal and Fast Paced Rock Songs. Happy Metal Friday. May your Easter Weekend Be filled with family, good food/drinks, cookies, cakes, chocolates, and Easter treats for Chewie Too. 🎵🎸🎤🐾🍗🍫🥤🎉🥳
Aww likl Mohawk Chewie 💕
@@DianeJennings Right, add some highlight colors to each spike. get him a leather jacket chain to bag to hold his treats. 💕
Nice reaction, so strange to see someone react to bands like Metallica for the first time. 😄👍
How about some German Folk Metal: Feuerschwanz - Ultima Nocte or Bastard von Asgard. Greetings from Munich 👋
The hand... at 5:45... that's an involuntary motion. The music made you do it. 🤘
One, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, Creeping Death, No Leaf Clover, Bleeding Me, To Live is to Die; there are so many great songs by this band. My favorite band by a mile since I was 14. They have a new album coming out on Friday as well.
This is / was played at many sporting events in the U. S. It's attached to many good memories for me.
I'm 55 and been a metal head since the early 80's so I guess I wish it had been more to your tastes as a genre but everybody's different and I thought you gave it a fair shot .
“One” is a great song too. Gotta listen to that one.
I saw an interview and when this song was first written it was about "Crib Death" (SIDS). But they thought it was a bit dark and softened it before they released it.
Glad you checked them out DJ. I understand not your particular thing. Wonder what ED thinks. If you have not listened to Queensryche that would be interesting including their song Silent Lucidity. Happy Easter!
I love this tune, I always put it on when I'm in the pub 🤘🤘🤘 x
Everything is sung about in heavy metal, no holds barred, and no holding back! There's songs of fear, happiness, dread, anger, love, lust, hate, joy, sunshine, popsicles (I don't know how to spell that), death, going to hell, meeting God, EVERYTHING!
A recomendation I'd like to make would be "Aint Talkin About Love" by Van Halen.
Thanks for the fun video!
I'm glad you don't stop the song and try to analyze it it the middle Other folks seem to stop a song at the best parts and blah blah blah what they think it means
There’s a great version of this live with I think the San Francisco Philamonic or Symphony orchestra!!
Totally unexpected but works!!
Diane head banging....I love it!
Thanks now this will be stuck in my head all day 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I especially like the concert they did with the San Francisco Orchestra. Hearing them perform this with a full orchestral backup really adds a richer perspective. Most of the concert is here on YT.
There are a few artists who will not copyright strike you still out there. Renmakesmusic, Sam Tompkins, Romain Axisa, The Big Push (all of these acts are related) They all have their own special something to them as well. Ren is a lyrical genius and is very deliberate with his lyrics, musical tones, delivery, and even his videos. Sam's voice is absolutely lovely (the duet Blind eyed with Ren is definitely well worth the watch). Romain Axisa was the guitarist for the Big Push along side Ren for a time. His guitar skills are amazing. He also has his own solo stuff that's sweet and just lovely to listen to. AND they all come with the perk of not copyright striking you.
Watch the Moscow live! You need to see what a very very very very large crowd looks like. This will probably never happen again in our world. Epic x 10!
Delightful Diane rocks out 😎😍
Diane Jennings you got the juice
Even though you sound like Dr. Seuss
You've got a talent and finally showed it
You're a poet
And didn't even know it.
Teenagers?? Im 53 and love it. I was an 80s guitar player. Started in 85. Was 15 and heard Over The Mountain by Ozzy and that guitar sound changed me forever. 2 weeks later I had my first guitar and have been playing this kind of music ever since.
HAD to click this.... long time subscriber, and this morning I got tickets to see Metallica live (for the 6th time)
Actually:
Guns n Roses, Iron maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, and Tool.... at the Power Trip Festival.
You had a good head-nod going on throughout the song... for someone who didn't think it was for them.
