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 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.
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
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! 😄
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 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.
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.
@@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
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!)
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".
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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
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 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
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!
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.!!!!
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 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.
The way he says wire makes me think of Layne staley
I thought the same exact thing the first time I heard this song.
It has some Murder One and King Nothing mood. Absolutly love it.

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 love that final riff as well. And the whole song too, of course. 👍🤘
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 :)
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!!!
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,
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.
Your react for the final riff is...epic!!😂
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 main riff is so fkng heavy man holy shit
Looking forward to Room Of Mirrors, that melody...
Yesss been refreshing YT all morning
This song is so fun on the drums, been really vibing to this track lately
I really want to see your reaction on Room of Mirrors... really loving the last 2 minutes of the song
This whole album is some fantastic music.

I can’t stop… this is GOLD
I love the main riff. It’s so damn heavy gives me goosebumps ❤
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
This is my second favorite song from this album James sounds so fucking awesome on this one
I love the vocal changes he’s done
It’s just an evolution and it still sounds absolutely bad ass 🤘🏻🔥
This became my favorite song on the record.
For me it was something very different after the first listen, wasn't sure but now it is in my favorites of the album!
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!)
As a fan who enjoy all the Metallica's different eras, TOTALLY LOVE THIS TRACK
imagine the end riff was the main riff from this song
If only!
It reminds me to Murder One.
Love your reaction my friend … this is a badass album and I played that last riff about 12 times…wish they made that longer
Top three :
1) If darkness had a son
2)Shadow follow
3)crown of barbed wire
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!
This album is fantastic. I'd put it up there amoungs their best.
I was waiting for this man!
Riff insanity on this album. Masters of the Riff
72 Riffs
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".
Facts
My favorite song now
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
Epic! I’ll look you all up.

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.
Beautiful song. In the style of Load / Reload, really, which I'm honestly glad for 😊
Solo riff is from the Cure from Load/Reload
This is one of my favorite songs on this record.
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".

I don’t care what others say of this song I love sooo tttiiiiigghhht this crown of barbed wiiiirrrrrreee and that riff after
Reminds me of King Nothing a bit, I love it!!!!
Pretty sure that the riff @ 4.50 is pulled from king nothing
this record is clean fast everywhere like holy fire
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! 😬

Power chords with a capital P! Sounds awesome!
Can’t wait for you to check out Room of Mirrors!!
Crown is definitly my favourite song on this album. So heavy! Not as heavy as Leper Messiah though
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.
They keep releasing new music videos in the middle of his reactions lol
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!! 😄
Cant wait chasing Light
This is the coolest song ever made.🤘🤘 😃😃
its a killer record man
Ending so f*cking epic
It sure is!
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
The Alice in Chains influence is so strong on this song
The first part of Kirks solos sounds like Mary Janes last dance by Tom Petty
I think if load and hardwired had a kid it would be named as 72 seasons
my friend of misery met someone at the house jack built
'Tallica gives you heavy, bejbeeeeee...
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.
8:23 I was the same way!! What is that riff!? I didn't want it to end either! So fucking HEAAAAVYYYY!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
So tight this crown of barbed wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire" so hetflied style
This song is great
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.
Crown of Barbed Wah-re
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.
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
5:14 I think you wanted to say "like King Nothing"
Inamorata !!!
Really GD song
@Chainsaw Reacts didn't u listen to this on itunes first?when did the album officially release? I just listened to it today
Metallica did a music video u should've reacted to those versions
Guess King Nothing found his Crown after all...
He sure did
My fukin favourite
Working title :if king nothing had a son 😉, my favourite now, big grower 😈
Wireeeeeeeee yeah
darker and heavier
Pantellica song
Crown of barbed wife?👻
I hope not
I am sick of those snare rolls.
Same.
fun fact: you dont have to listen to the song :)
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
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
Why does the sound keep kinda muting when he talks, quite 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!!!
