I love this song, it just never gets old. Sir Elton John said in a Zoom appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2021 that this was one of the best songs ever written.
You have to keep in mind that Metallica got hugely popular without music videos. The first video they made was “One” which was on the album before this one (…and Justice for All.) This album (The black album) was when they started making music videos and recording everything. So, to a lot of Metallica fans this was a cool behind the scenes look at the mythic Metallica, and made them look like regular people. I thought it was really cool. As well, this is the album where Kirk Hammett (the lead guitarist) started getting really into Blues. So, a lot of the songs on this album had a blues feel to it. Also, the downfall of the trash band Metallica. Many consider this album, or …And Justice for All, their last good album. Personally, I think they are still a great band, but not the same band.
I mean Metallica had a great prime and as long as they were good in their prime I’m not disappointed at all but ngl after black album they fell off a lil
And this video was made from excerpts from the two-part 4 hour rockumentary A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica which came out a few months later, which gave us an even better look into the band that we hadn't seen before...then we got Some Kind of Monster and though it was an exceptional documentary, we got to see a whole other side of the band that maybe we would have prefer not to have seen.
James Hetfield was nervous bringing this song to the band because of like you said how different it is, but the other guys were very supportive of James showing this more "vulnerable" side, it took guts to release such a song at the time for the band.
Yup, every time I have it on in the car I have to crank the volume to near max just as the solo kicks in, same with the solo for unforgiven and similarly the solo in 'in bloom' by nirvana. The contrast to the rest of the songs and the simplicity of those solos are just amazing.
You cannot believe how emotional this song can be until you and 50000 other people are singing to it... It is something special that you just cannot understand until you've been there yourself. I don't know what it is about Metallica, but they can have any opening act and the moment these guys step on the stage the whole venue is charged up with this energy. When "Ecstasy of Gold" hits the first two notes, things start going crazy and wild and you can feel the energy just coarsing through your entire body. It is an otherworldly experience and something unbelievable! It is Metallica. And you are correct in the genre assessment. Metal music is the classical music of today. They share a lot of the elements between the old masters and how metal songs are put together. There is no formula for this madness, it just is... The beautiful thing about Metallica is that they make the best songs they can and don't do things that are overly technical or really hard to pull off unless it fits the song... Kirk has said that he basically never plays the solos live like he did on the album versions. There are few so iconic that he has to, but usually he is giving you something new every time. And the snot nosed kids still cannot believe that people come out and listen to them. They are enjoying the audience about as much as the audience is enjoying them. Like James has said this is outsider music...
I as a Metallica-fan, from back before the release of the first album "Kill 'em all", loved the whole Black album, when it was released, and this song was one of my absolute favourites!
@@KingNothing2x4 Nope, but for some reason the songs from the tape found their way (through tape-trading) to Sweden, where I live. So the songs turned up on different compilation tapes that me and my friends got hold of. :)
Even the St. Anger Album and We Did It Again feat. Ja Rule?? lol in my opinion St. Anger is the worst album they released and worst song ever made is We Did It Again
one of the greatest compositions of metalica . one of the best heavy metal rock ballads. The song fits very harmoniously into the 1991 album "The Black Album". . Enter Sandman from the same album ..your fan from Russia
This song is a tool that will get me out of every depression. That climax at the end of the song always wipes away my tears and kicks me in the ass to get me up and keep fighting. Hetfield wrote this song for a girl he missed on tour, but for about 20 years it has been a song about fans and the band's perception of them. In one of the interviews, James Hetfield said: I was very ashamed to show this composition to the guys in the band. You understand hevy metal - tough guys, but the bigger the heart, the bigger the armor it hides behind. He showed this song to Lars (drummer) and he and the producer said it was great and should be on the album. Metallica plays this song at every concert and on every tour
I love their other songs, but I also really love this song too!❤Many heavy groups do slower songs too. This is one of my favorites!!🔥🔥 Glad you reacted to this song!👍
So I’m not the biggest metal head in the world. I like selective songs and bands over the years. The popularity of this song is undeniable. IMHO, it’s a great power ballad with great writing and very emotional. Excellent reaction Phil & Sam. 🤘
@@CB-xr1eg If I read a post on a random video that someone made , and they had used a word wrong. I wouldn’t have the time nor care how they spelled something. Especially a word that is the same word just spelled different according to how it’s used. Just seems strange to me. I’m not mad about it. Just seems odd.
@@mattmorganRnR Put it this way, it took me about 5 seconds to poat that one word as a means of pointing out an error. How long did it take you to post your 3.5 line comment rebuking me for it? Put it another way, you say you don't have the time nor the care, but you have the time and care to send me a wordy comment saying that posting 1 word of correction "just seems odd". I think it's *you* that seems odd! Btw, their* and there* are NOT the same word. I just thought you should know that.
UA-cam actually has the metallica concert in Antarctica. It had around maybe 75 people under a big bubble. The audience was less than 5 feet away. I'm guessing they were scientists and photographers and maybe even a few who do live there. It was harsh conditions as you can imagine. Had to be done at daytime and under that bubble to avoid the extreme cold conditions. It was a helluva show.
Hey guys, long time since I've been here! Anyhow, this is a true Metallica classic, which never fades with age. Once again, your comments are "spot on" Listening to the vinyl is key to appreciating the original sound. Another record is that they played to a crowd of 1.6 million in Moscow in 1991! have a great Christmas and rewarding New Year.
The black album was a very controversial album in the sense it lost some of their hardcore base but it picked up more in the mainstream non metal heads of the general public. I started way back on their second album "Ride the Lightning" and until the "Black" album there NEVER was a Metallica song played on the radio until this album.. On the Howard Stern Show, Elton John was on via satellite and said this was one the best songs that he ever heard and it actually got James Hatfield choked up to tears with that compliment.
The whole "Black Album" has a different vibe from their previous releases but set a precedent for their future records for some time. They trimmed run times down, simplified the delivery, and made an overall more accessible record for the masses. Some of the die hard fans (myself included at the time) were taken by surprise, and some were very critical and dismissive of the record. Personally, while not my favorite, I think it has amazing production, and a lot of memorable songs. Also, I got the record a week early because I had preordered it at a mall, and for the hell of it asked what the progress was on the preorder, and the guy was like "We have it in, let me get it for you," and bam. I saw the band several times live, twice on this tour (including one of the shows that they double headlined with Guns n Roses which was infamous for several reasons), and if there is one thing I will say about Metallica, they definitely deliver. I'm not a big metal guy anymore, but I still feel a certain nostalgia for Metallica.
An all time classic! I looove this song! I remember them on the Howard Stern Show playing some songs and talking about them in a Metallica special. Elton John did a zoom call to the show and he said this is one of the best songs ever written! By James Hetfields reaction to that comment it really shook him! It's a very special song and album for sure!
I'm a recent subscriber to the channel and definitely enjoy the videos you both upload. Especially the Metallica ones due in part to me being a huge fan. It's wicked awesome that you're exploring other genres of music. I look forward to many more top notch videos. Oh and can I make a suggestion.... Metallica's Leper Messiah is a great song and i can guarantee you both wil not be disappointed. Take care
Songs like this have given me more respect by showing us other skills they have. These guys are remarkable and they have so many songs that I find one listening to that ends up being on my big list of great music. Im always impressed how well they synchronize and seem to alway be attached and have the cleanest heavy music of any group ever. The technical stuff they do and are awesome solos. They are a true band and their hard work pays off! I just wished I had discovered music that wasnt played on the radio so much that I had them sterotyped as just heavey metal.

Great song they play on every continent in a 24-hour period I think was the record they went out and hired Motley Crue producer Bob Rock help them make a more commercial album and they succeeded.
Love your channel guys, thank you for all your content, much love from the East Coast 🇨🇦 Please, please PLEASE, give us some more MOTÖRHEAD!! Lemmys lyrics are so underrated in many songs, such a legendary band and a legendary human
Their first "Ballad" as I remember. This was them showing us the beginning of their range as a band. I think this song also served them later in their careers when they played some of their songs with a full orchestra, making some of their songs even more haunting. I think they were also very surprised by how received this song became when it was released as a single.
James gave an interview that ended up on their dvd where he talked about the meaning of this song it was the only time he talked about the real reason it was written. It was never meant to go public but once his manager and band mates heard it they demanded he let them play it. Now when asked James says he can't remember the reason he wrote this he says that because he doesn't want to talk about the real reason as its very private
This is from the Black Album that was produced by Bob Rock and was a pretty big development for them musically and from a production standpoint relative to the Metallica from their previous albums.
The world record- only band to ever perform on all 7 continents. Their last continent was Antarctica, which they were the only band to ever perform on.
Phil & Sam, you're both right. Headbanging metal fans hated this song (although previous albums had slow/softer songs) and they gained millions of new fans because of this song and "Enter Sandman". James had this song before the making of this album but he was terrified to show the guys because "it wasn't Metallica". Bob Rock, the producer, told him to show them...the worst thing they can do is say "no". The guys liked it and the rest is history.
@@jonathanbouthillette753 yeah, that was a moment when headbangers called Metallica sellouts. (For the first time?) Lars said that they were called that on every album after Kill em All.
The black album was my first Metallica album and Nothing else matters was one of my favourites from the start. I later learned to like the older Metallica albums too and nowadays I'm more into melodic death metal but still nothing else matters is a favourite song.
I remember at the time, Metallica took a lot of heat for this song. They said they would never sell out to doing ballads. But here it is. But at least it wasn't an I love you mushy tushy song. It had depth, so I enjoyed it. I really am more a Megadeth guy, but I love Metallica almost as much. They have done at least 3 different versions of this song on albums after this. Maybe more idk. Maybe take a look at a band named Testament with a song called Lost Souls, or Practice What You Preach. Might be right up Phil work out songs lol!!! Awesome reaction guys. I always enjoy your videos. Take care!!! GO BOSTON BRUINS!!! 🤟🍻
I love this song, in fact it's probably the first Metallica song I listened to as I'd always thought they were probably too 'metal' for my tastes, but after hearing James Hetfield put that much feeling into this songsong I listened to quite a few more
Elton John says this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I agree. They recently did this on Howard Stern with Miley Cyrus and it’s ICONIC. ❤
My wife and I had our first dance at our wedding to this song in 2002. Her pick, not mine. I was pleasantly surprised. I was suggesting The Beatles song 'In my Life'.
You guys should totally hear "Whiskey in the Jar" idk why I love that song so much.... Ok well I do... I just don't wanna spoil it for you hahaha
Рік тому
Two other videos I think you'll love that are slightly different from their "normal" are from the 1999 S&M concert, specifically The memory remains and No Leaf Clover. Give either of those a try and I think you'll really enjoy the sound.
I love this song, it just never gets old. Sir Elton John said in a Zoom appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2021 that this was one of the best songs ever written.
He brought a tear to James' eye when he said so .
The palm to the forehead!
Elton John was playing piano for the cover of this song that Miley Cyrus made for the Blacklist Album
@@user-tb8sy5bz7m And that Howard Stern appearance was where Miley actually performed the song _with_ Metallica.
He likened it to Greensleeves, which is a classical piece and James broke down...it was a nice moment.
I'm a 63 year old disabled US Army vet. My wife and I made this our anthem. The words fit us and our lifestyle.
A perfect song for that! 👍

@@zanehoppe7927The video/songs are on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/_W7wqQwa-TU/v-deo.html
I personally enjoyed it when it first came out, and in my opinion one of the greatest power metal ballads ever, first time I heard it was on Mtv.
My wife and I used this as our wedding first dance in 2009. First saw Metallica in 1993. Great reaction folks 🤟🤟
James's solo in this song never gets old. I've probably heard this song 200+ times and it's still so good.
Yup, every time I have it on in the car I have to crank the volume to near max just as the solo kicks in, same with the solo for unforgiven and similarly the solo in 'in bloom' by nirvana. The contrast to the rest of the songs and the simplicity of those solos are just amazing.

James wrote this and it was very personal. He really didn't want to record it.But the rest of the band insisted .
Every album they evolved a new style. That's what makes them great. Like the Beatles, Rolling stones
Fan since 87.. I don't remember any of us having a problem with the song.. it felt like a Gift.
You should check out Fade to Black, Fuel or Unforgiven 2
Samantha - wild polar bears are only found in the Arctic and the island on Lost, just so you know!

@lynndavison5805 I stand corrected 🙂
@ it is a great song though - I love it.
James Hetfield has an amazing voice and singing abilities in very aspect. Also, the buildup of the song is giving me gooseumps!
Classic.
You guys should react to this song live with Metallica and Mikey Cyrus on Howard stern show
Reacciona al nuevo video de Gabriel Enrique. Perfect.
Tuesdays Gone guys Please Please Please❤❤❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My wife and I had our first dance at our wedding to this song in 2002. Her pick, not mine. I was pleasantly surprised. I was suggesting The Beatles song 'In my Life'.
You guys should totally hear "Whiskey in the Jar" idk why I love that song so much.... Ok well I do... I just don't wanna spoil it for you hahaha
Two other videos I think you'll love that are slightly different from their "normal" are from the 1999 S&M concert, specifically The memory remains and No Leaf Clover. Give either of those a try and I think you'll really enjoy the sound.
This album also had heavy song like sad but true, of wolf and man
There two different versions of the "One". There is a version "Jammin version". It is just the band in the warehouse without the movie scenes.
I love Lars so much, and he was looking SO fine in this vid. (the drummer)
