unpopular opinion: my favourite track of the record. And I love (almost) all of them. The vocal melodies are absolute perfection. And the fat and heavy riffs complete this amazing song!
I learned my lesson. Will never watch another reaction video from anyone else. All they do is hate on metallica. Chainsaw gets into it and appreciates every song. Fuck yea chainsaw!!!
I discovered your channel because of Hardwired, never subscribed but I saw your videos nevertheless and got excited with you. Now that my feed is drowning with 72 Seasons, your channel comes back to me, and it's just like it was in 2016: a wonderful musical experience.
This one has grown on me a lot! I feel a lot of these songs grew on me with my 2nd listen. God I hope when I see em live next year they play the entire album on both nights. :) Also hey buddy! 😄
DUDE CROWN AND CHASING LIGHT ARE TWO OF THE BEST METALLICA SONGS I HAVE EVER FUCKING HEARD! HAMMET IS BACK! HAMMET IS ON FUCKING FIRE! I have to apologize to him some day! HE SAVES THIS ALBUM! Rob is a MONSTER in every songs MIX! And Hetfield is GOD! Lars… without you none of this would be GOOD! THANK YOU
@@shachar6209 oh no… I had what’s called an obscene REVELATION! There is something different than from Hardwired… idk maybe JAMES telling him he needs wants and expects his help writing and that did not happen last album… I don’t know how to explain it, but I can HEAR the difference in HAMMET! Hope you do too
@@shachar6209 I want to add this if it helps understand why I’m saying this… example- listen to Kirk come in 20 seconds into the intro of CROWN OF BARBED WIRE and tell me he doesn’t LIFT that already amazing part that Lars and Rob are DECIMATING!!!! OMG MAN… HAMMETS ON FIRE
I didn't like this song at first, then when I woke up this morning I found myself humming the "this rusted empire I own" part without even realizing it.
@@ChainsawReacts and man, I fucking loves your reactions, since “hardwired to self destruct” album, and also “what the dead man say”. You are the coolest. Respect from Ukraine
another heavy and groove track from 72 seasons, love it! This album is growing on me, riffs are amazing on that one.... love your reactions! Greetings from Poland ;)
The explanation James gives on SiriusXM is that the song is about him being really full of himself or really down, so I think the decision to sing "Wire" that way was following the music and the theme of how we all lie to ourselves about certain things. Honestly, the songs I didn't care for initially have grown on me instantly. It's so satisfying because very few if any performers can do this so expertly and the modern tech era has proven that so many times in recent years.
When I first heard this song at 4:49 gave me King Nothing vibes, even down to the solo. Its almost that this is a sequal to King Nothing hence the name "Crown of Barbed Wire".
late to watching these but this was my favorite one outside the singles, was waiting to watch this video! been with ya since hardwired man, keep it up! (cant wait for the live reactions to these songs!)
The main riff where like the strings are getting slightly bent and twisted, adding a cool dissonance reminded me of something like Soundgarden's "Fell on Black Days". It doesnt sound like the song at all, but that riff sounds great when played back to back with the main riff to Cornell's Classic itself. I like Hetfield's take on the pronouncation of "Wire". It sounds theatrical, in character, it adds to the snidely swagger of the song. And the song doesnt overdo its time limit, which is a general constructive critique given to the album at present.
Watching you react to this song made me notice that there's some 'wasted'? riffs in this song. The fast little one they play in the middle of the main riff, and the one in the ending both could have been a bigger part of the song to make it a little more varied. That being said, there's not a single bad song in this album. Just some stuff that could've been different but i'm definitely grateful they're still making great new music
Chainsaw… my band is called BATTERY, the one that opened for METALLICA in 98 for the Garage Inc tour.. I wasn’t there then… find us! I am TAKING THIS MUSIC TO OUR STAGE to celebrate this amazing band! We play central and eastern US year round
@@ChainsawReacts dude… I was so turned by the first four… I didn’t see it… I have exploded with the B side of this album… and yeah, you MUST DO CHASING LIGHT because it’s the most fire fucking song I’ve heard in 20 years! And give your new buddy Cody a shout out’. ❤️🤘
Metallica was heavily influenced by spaghetti western arrangements IE Ecstasy of Gold. So anytime I hear a western sound in his vocals it makes me smile. Also, anyone else notice that Kirk added a “Last Dance with Maryjane” Easter egg in the solo?
4:01 the way James says "real" just always makes me think of Van Halen's Running With the Devil "no love you call re-yal" 😂 Also love this track, and the way he says "wiiire" I think is great, first time I heard it it caught my attention and I was like "okay that's interesting I dig it" haha
Definitely heavy riffage, lots of grooving in the pocket. Not my favorite song from the album but it still hits like a truck. Love the heavy riff at the end with a quick key change up and then back down to the low crunch to finish it off... that's how you properly end a song.
It's my best on the album. When I first listened to the album, I was disappointed. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. There are several good riffs.
Probably one of the weakest out of the tracklist, love the riffs but the vocal melodies are what get me, especially the lyrics, just describing a rusty crown of barbed wire lol
The amount of times he mentions the wire part and mimics it EVERYTIME kinda ruined the reaction. Point it out once, we get it, but to harp on it is annoying
The journey continues! Super Thanks are appreciated! Check out my reaction playlist for this album! ruclips.net/p/PLhKj_eSYs0ttEAQdumg3cYYxboSEbQZB7
Metallica New Riff Tuning Room Montreal 19/07/2017 is where that riff came from
unpopular opinion: my favourite track of the record. And I love (almost) all of them. The vocal melodies are absolute perfection. And the fat and heavy riffs complete this amazing song!
This song is definitely one of my favorites so far.
@@ChainsawReacts this is sequel to king nothing
So is mine! This song is definitely one of the best of the record
@Krystal The Pink Poodle I know 2x4 read the lyrics of king nothing and this and it'll be obvious to you this is king nothing 2 great song
ΜIne too.!!!!
The way he says "wire" is my favorite part of the whole piece, it's got so much stank on it. Loving these videos man.
Thank you!
this final riff is insanely awesome
very very short part, i'm sad.
@@anotherlife6334 Too much, maybe in the shows they will increase it, because it would be amazing!
Extremely heavy
8:25 : Only Metallica can chug a riff that hard. Makes you feel like a hammer hit you in the face.
My favourite thing about this song is James' vocal performance. He wasn't afraid to show his age and vulnerability. You can feel his emotion.
I learned my lesson. Will never watch another reaction video from anyone else. All they do is hate on metallica. Chainsaw gets into it and appreciates every song. Fuck yea chainsaw!!!
It has some Murder One and King Nothing mood. Absolutly love it.
I love that final riff as well. And the whole song too, of course. 👍🤘

The way he says wire makes me think of Layne staley
I thought the same exact thing the first time I heard this song.
This one has grown on me a lot! I feel a lot of these songs grew on me with my 2nd listen. God I hope when I see em live next year they play the entire album on both nights. :) Also hey buddy! 😄
both nights re completely different
@@shugghead8538 They can spread the album across both nights. :) That was my point buddy. I love all their discography, but still lol
@@JoshuaWenzel-zu6rx got ya and agreed :)
Looking forward to Room Of Mirrors, that melody...
I really want to see your reaction on Room of Mirrors... really loving the last 2 minutes of the song

Kirk is back? Wtf you talk about.. all solos the same, "happy" for deep song. He is the disappointment of this album..

i agree. my 2 fav songs on the record.
I didn't like this song at first, then when I woke up this morning I found myself humming the "this rusted empire I own" part without even realizing it.
The chorus is very Load-ish, but everything else about this song screams mid-tempo beast a la Thingy, Sad But True, Dream No More. I love it,
Your react for the final riff is...epic!!😂
The riff from the 2017 tuning room \m/
Which one? Where? Link?
Don’t leave us hanging like this
Link it now
@@ChainsawReacts and man, I fucking loves your reactions, since “hardwired to self destruct” album, and also “what the dead man say”. You are the coolest. Respect from Ukraine
Yesss been refreshing YT all morning
This song is so fun on the drums, been really vibing to this track lately
This whole album is some fantastic music.
This is my second favorite song from this album James sounds so fucking awesome on this one
The main riff is so fkng heavy man holy shit
I can’t stop… this is GOLD
another heavy and groove track from 72 seasons, love it! This album is growing on me, riffs are amazing on that one.... love your reactions! Greetings from Poland ;)
For me it was something very different after the first listen, wasn't sure but now it is in my favorites of the album!
The explanation James gives on SiriusXM is that the song is about him being really full of himself or really down, so I think the decision to sing "Wire" that way was following the music and the theme of how we all lie to ourselves about certain things.

Facts
I liked the sabbatish riff right after James singing “barbed wiiire..”. Nice and heavy song, really digging it too.
late to watching these but this was my favorite one outside the singles, was waiting to watch this video! been with ya since hardwired man, keep it up! (cant wait for the live reactions to these songs!)
I was waiting for this man!
As a fan who enjoy all the Metallica's different eras, TOTALLY LOVE THIS TRACK
I love the vocal changes he’s done
It’s just an evolution and it still sounds absolutely bad ass 🤘🏻🔥
Love your reaction my friend … this is a badass album and I played that last riff about 12 times…wish they made that longer
I love the main riff. It’s so damn heavy gives me goosebumps ❤
Reminds me of King Nothing a bit, I love it!!!!
Pretty sure that the riff @ 4.50 is pulled from king nothing
imagine the end riff was the main riff from this song
If only!
It reminds me to Murder One.
This became my favorite song on the record.
This album is fantastic. I'd put it up there amoungs their best.
This is one of my favorite songs on this record.

Solo riff is from the Cure from Load/Reload
If u search, you can find a tuning room video from 2017 and they're playing that main riff. It's actually Kirk's
You are the second person to say this, I can’t find it.
My favorite song now
Riff insanity on this album. Masters of the Riff
72 Riffs

Beautiful song. In the style of Load / Reload, really, which I'm honestly glad for 😊
Cmon bruh, refreshing the channel whole day waiting for your reactions lmao
Sorry! Chasing Light is live! Too Far Gone is last for today!
@@ChainsawReacts just teasing. Love your reactions!

Can’t wait for you to check out Room of Mirrors!!
So heavy so good. Love the Catchy Chorus and the James hangs out the word Wiiiirrrreee! This song is ace and I can see it being played Live! 😬
Metallica was heavily influenced by spaghetti western arrangements IE Ecstasy of Gold. So anytime I hear a western sound in his vocals it makes me smile.
Also, anyone else notice that Kirk added a “Last Dance with Maryjane” Easter egg in the solo?
I was thinking the exact same when I heard that in Kirks solo! Little homage to Tom Petty!
@@Froggeth81 that was an Easter egg from “Last Dance with Maryjane” no doubt.
Cant wait chasing Light
this record is clean fast everywhere like holy fire
I don’t care what others say of this song I love sooo tttiiiiigghhht this crown of barbed wiiiirrrrrreee and that riff after
Top three :
1) If darkness had a son
2)Shadow follow
3)crown of barbed wire
This is the coolest song ever made.🤘🤘 😃😃
Power chords with a capital P! Sounds awesome!
Ending so f*cking epic
It sure is!
It has a weird, ugly, bizarre (riffs/structure) awesomeness. I loved it!
This pulled 'wiiiiiiiiire' has stuck in my head, i can't get it out of!! 😄
They keep releasing new music videos in the middle of his reactions lol
4:01 the way James says "real" just always makes me think of Van Halen's Running With the Devil "no love you call re-yal" 😂
Also love this track, and the way he says "wiiire" I think is great, first time I heard it it caught my attention and I was like "okay that's interesting I dig it" haha
Crown is definitly my favourite song on this album. So heavy! Not as heavy as Leper Messiah though
The first part of Kirks solos sounds like Mary Janes last dance by Tom Petty
Inamorata !!!
Really GD song
I think the way he sings Wire maintains or is part of the heavy groove of the song, listen to the way the guitar comes up right after he says it.
Definitely heavy riffage, lots of grooving in the pocket. Not my favorite song from the album but it still hits like a truck. Love the heavy riff at the end with a quick key change up and then back down to the low crunch to finish it off... that's how you properly end a song.
my friend of misery met someone at the house jack built
The Alice in Chains influence is so strong on this song
its a killer record man
I think if load and hardwired had a kid it would be named as 72 seasons
This song is great
@Chainsaw Reacts didn't u listen to this on itunes first?when did the album officially release? I just listened to it today
8:23 I was the same way!! What is that riff!? I didn't want it to end either! So fucking HEAAAAVYYYY!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Crown of Barbed Wah-re
Pantellica song
My fukin favourite
'Tallica gives you heavy, bejbeeeeee...
So tight this crown of barbed wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire" so hetflied style
5:14 I think you wanted to say "like King Nothing"
It's my best on the album. When I first listened to the album, I was disappointed. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. There are several good riffs.
Dirty heavy sick song.
Reminds me of a song off of lulu.. I know you people hate lulu but some of the riffs were sick and heavy
Metallica did a music video u should've reacted to those versions
Wireeeeeeeee yeah
Guess King Nothing found his Crown after all...
He sure did
darker and heavier
Working title :if king nothing had a son 😉, my favourite now, big grower 😈
Crown of barbed wife?👻
I hope not
Why does the sound keep kinda muting when he talks, quite annoying 😆
I am sick of those snare rolls.
Same.
fun fact: you dont have to listen to the song :)
Probably one of the weakest out of the tracklist, love the riffs but the vocal melodies are what get me, especially the lyrics, just describing a rusty crown of barbed wire lol
The amount of times he mentions the wire part and mimics it EVERYTIME kinda ruined the reaction. Point it out once, we get it, but to harp on it is annoying
Lol. New metallica isn't as good as yall think it is. It's to long and the songs get boring. Plus Hammett solos and bland. He's bored in Metallica.
In your opinion. I place this album in the top 5 surpassing the Black Album. Yeah it's right next to the legendary first 4 albums.
@@RavensFlock9592 you must be deaf. It's not even better than death magnetic
This is the only song on this thing that I couldn't give less shit about..very forgetful song
Mo adesso è bella sta canzone?
Yo chainsaw I love your reaction to that riff right at the end of the song. I had the same reaction when I heard that section of the song lol
It was so good!!!
