Yo Jojo, if you appreciate guitar at all you need to check out a Joe satriani song or Steve Vai song. Those dudes make the guitars make noises I didn't even know were possible! Guitar gods the both of them!
Bro, that is a guitar Theyre using different guitars, normal guitars have 6 strings and theyre pretty regular but there are settings that make it sound different, also the guitarist/singer is playing with his fingertips and that makes a sharp sound. And theyre using a 12 string guitar too and that is classically sharp and clean sounding
The guitar shown at ~6:00 is an acoustic electric guitar. It has a resonant chamber as well as pickups, which gives it a different tone than a standard electric guitar.
@@seanroberts4011 there’s nothing like standard electric guitar lol…they sound different because of their body type i.e. solid body and hollow body… “standard electric guitar” does have pickups as well lol and they can sound like an acoustic, bass guitar and hollow body electric guitar as well.. a good knowledge about the electronics and tones can make it happen
Sadly, I agree that this song would not have the same success today, my 15yo does not appreciate this kind of music, no matter how hard I try, smh! So happy to see young people like you who still are discovering and appreciative of good rock and metal!!! 👏👏👏
I definitely agree, it’s quite unfortunate, I‘m 15 and I‘m lucky that my parents managed to get me into this ever since I was a baby. Without bands like Metallica, SOAD and Slipknot I‘d never be the type of person I am today
@@scgirl9310 thank you:) and that’s absolutely right, Music in general is just really important, but I think it’s sad to see how few effort is put into the kind of stuff you hear on the radio, like- how did we get here?!
Lars (the drummer) needs to hear you break this down. This is the definition of legendary, when a song written over 30 years ago still makes an impact, especially with the new generation.
This was Metallica's attempt at a stadium rock song that would appeal to more people than their typical heavier songs. It ended up being their most popular song to date.
it was original a private song written by hetfield and he was kinda ashamed by it up until the rest heard it and they said they wanted to make a metallica song out of it
@@m.f.culler9012Yeah, I think the meaning changed over time. I read where Hetfield said it originally was written for someone left at home while they were on the road like a wife/girlfriend and it kinda evolved into a message for the fans. 👍🏻
@Mason Arlington5799 Yeah, it started out as a song for a girl but after lots of years he said it’s kind of evolved into a song for the fans. I can’t remember where I read/saw that but I thought it was cool. 🙂
Having the privilege to actually meet these guys in person and sit with them after a concert.. No words can describe how professional they are, but down to earth as well. Oh and James warms his voice up singing ACDC etc
When I first watched this (awesome) guy, I though completely different of him than the innocent, appreciative, open-minded dude we see here. I was surprised to see such a young man, so open to old time, wonderful music such as Metallica ect. It makes me very happy that he knows what he is talking about, even when he does not know how t put it into words. Its awesome to see people like him so loving and in awe towards these types of music.
As a 19-year-old Gen Z fan, I respectfully disagree. Rock is still one of the most loved genres out there. It's just simply not the genre on the charts. But we all still love the classics from the 1950s to the 2000s. There's some good stuff coming out today too, though it's far from as legendary as these older songs were. Had they come out today, they most definitely would have been big hits.
@@brezzainvernale Rock and Metal have strong cult followings. Compared to most genres, Rock fans are the most musically-centric fans, meaning they care more for the instrumentation, melodies, and so g structures. Not to say others don't, but usually, Rap is more focused on the lyrics, vocal flow, and the beat (usually in that order) and Pop is more focused on solo singers, rather than the session musicians used. Electronic (EDM), though often the most instrumentally driven genre with few lyrics at all, is sometimes more an emotional manipulation of adrenaline, especially Techno and Dubstep. Rock and Metal are often the genres with the most virtuosity in the instrumentals and are typically more progressive than other genres, not in terms of it being Prog, but rather that the songs are more likely to progress and move to different stages apart from simply V1 C V2 C B C C... structures and 4/4 time. Rock has had the most experimentation in music and has expanded its influence into many if not all other major genres of music. As long as there are still fans of analog instruments, exercised musicianship, and musical history, Rock and Metal will never die.
The worst thing about rock/metal in America is that the music industry assassinated it in the 90's with horrific genres they tried to create out of thin air. Nirvana and grunge music was astroturf. They changed the format of urban rock stations to rap and there were protests to bring back the good music.
This! I was actually talking to my husband about Metallica last night. We heard Enter Sandman, and I told him, "This song is good" and he agreed, and then I said "But it is the worst song on the album". He is not a Metallica fan, doesn't hate them, he just doesn't know their music very well and is not all that into music period (we are very opposite).
I literally marked my Calendar in my phone as LFR JoJo day. And this song does your day justice. Keep up the great tunes mi amigo. You definitely need to make sure you are involved in the creative process of great music. You have the ability, ear, energy and talent to do great things.
Im 17 and am so greatful my dad started me on metal from a young age. Great to see more of our generation reacting to and liking this stuff. You should defo check out Master of Puppets, One and Creeping Death which are some of my fav songs by them.
The white guitar is a Gretch "hollow body" guitar it has a much "sharper" sound then regular guitar. The wood in the body neck fretboard ALL make a difference in sound plus if 6 or 12 string. Pickups also make HUGE impact on sound in fact your guitar is a Mashup as it has a "humbucker" and a "single coil" pickup which both have distinct sounds. I can't recall if your guitar has P-90 pickup but that could also be a very distinct sounding pickup as well oh the black and silver guitar is a type of "flying V" guitar believe that one is a Jackson model flying V
You’re 💯 right, but don’t forget the effect of certain amplifiers with certain guitars, different brands of effects pedals and different levels and the eq settings of the mixing board.
you were blown away with one which was a amazon song and this song is one the best songs ever put together one of the greatest rock songs ever .I seen mettalica live in concert amazing what a show there still playing if you get a chance go see them true legends and icons hall famers there in my top 3 of all time best bands ever with led zeppelin and Van Halen. cant wait for you to enjoy this song cant wait to see your reaction to this here we go.
That is an electric guitar you're hearing. They're running them through different pedals and getting different effects plus they're hitting bell tones and other harmonics. Check out "i know you're here" by Steve Vai. Watch the G3 concert version. He makes all kinds of sounds with that guitar.
I love your reactions. I’m new and keep askin if you heard Pearl Jam’s song Black. Love to see what you think😎🤗 Edit: and Master of Puppets is awesome as well
The instrument in the background is a symphonic backing track, Written by the composer Michael Kamen. This is a BRILLIANT time to suggest something I've struggled to find online. Because they did a full concert with Mr. Kamen and The San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra. I suggest that you react to the opening of that 1999 concert, The Ecstacy of Gold + The Call of Ktulu. The Ecstacy of Gold is trending with the danish orchestra doing The Good, The Bad and The Ugly anyway, So combine them. Lead, don't follow!
So the drummer sets the pace and the beat for the song. And you’re right they are masters at what they do. I am very happy to see you’re enjoying now the stuff I grew up with. True masters of musicians
You are my favorite person who does song reactions... singers name is James hetfield.. he also plays that backup guitar you are wondering about.. he’s very talented, and can play complicated parts while singing at the same time
It's sincerity that comes through the music. That's what makes it hard for other bands to play, without the genuine feeling... It falls flat. Great reaction, I loved it!
Enter Sandman is the "gateway" metal song.... That's the Song Metallica made that made heavy metal main stream in the 90s. You should probably start there, then move onto metallica's other classics
I love seeing people enjoy this band I've been listening to them since I was little my parents were fans in the late 80s and 90s and 00s and next time metallica are playing a concert in my area I'm getting us all tickets because it would be amazing to experience it with them
The 1st time I heard Metallica was on a recording on a cassette back in the 80's when they were recorded doing gigs down in New Orleans. My husband's brother gave it to him when we were only 16
What instrument is that, it’s heart and soul, it’s opening up and letting your soul flow through the instrument, finding the perfect note and key to relaying it to the audience, every form of music and art have examples of the artist putting themselves into the art and letting the world see a human soul on display fragile and perfect the greatest of artists can do it more than once and give the world multiple works of art with the same level of amazing
I could tell that you really enjoyed this song! That's awesome!! I love watching react videos because I love to see the happiness or at least intrigue of someone who has never experienced the music that others & myself have listened to over the years. I know & understand that your not going to like everything that is suggested, but I am glad to see that you genuinely understand why people would like these certain songs. Much love brother!
I'd love to see a video where Jojo gets to asks all the guitar questions of someone with the answers. I always sit here like "I can explain that!'. Great work as always, mate!
I've been listing to Metallica since I was 6 years old been a fan since then my mom and dad would play them endlessly and now passing there music onto my kids my two oldest love them
I love this guy now! "Metallica sounds like the name of a starship" 🤭👍 Well done, Jojo. I just today started watching your reactions. I'm always SOO happy when someone from a different music genre comes to the rock side and catches our feels! LOVE IT!! Rock is for everyone! 🥰🙏
LOVE your insights into all this great rock music! Drummer ALWAYS sets the "back beat" - that's what makes rock...ROCK. James is playing lead guitar on 1 of the greatest love songs of all time, & pouring his heart into it. If you want to hear another 1 like this, check out "I Remember You" by Skid Row. It'll have you in tears, I promise!
Hey bro, im 40 and been playing rock music along with Metallica music and it's badass and love the way they have rocked on for many years. I really respect how you of a preferred other music, can connect and understand this amazing music. Im also been a dj for many years and have connected with other music buy badass video my brother, much love! Rock on!😎
happy to see some young people like you open to discover past old songs (more than me) and even more if they don't listen this kind of music. You make me hope for the youth...
Played this at my wedding, along with their version and the original of "Whiskey in the Jar". My son heard Metallica in utero, and every time I played it he would start kicking. Today he's almost 18 and still a huge fan. I'm always so happy to see you experiencing this band that has meant so much to my little family. ❤❤
Listen to the whole album. This album made me a heavy metal girl!!! I was born way after these guys were at their best albums. My music died in 1994. Make it alive AGAIN!!!
Just my thoughts this morning, it's LFR Jojo day, LOL 😆...but you did it, you did this song! I literally just suggested that if you like Ballads that this would be one of them.
They're laying lots of guitars on top of each other. There's at least 4 if not maybe even up to 10! The white guitar hes using is a gretch "semi-hollow" so its still an electric, but has that big body. A lot of jazz players used semi hollows. You were possibly hearing the 12 string as the "higher" portions since it doubles the strings and makes a more jangly sound and on the higher strings it has them an octave higher in each pair. Essentially its the same layout as a regular guitar (with 6 strings) but it has another string next to each one that is an octave higher
It took almost 10 years before I could listen to this without crying. It was the 1st Metallica song I heard after my grandfather died, and the 1st one I heard 4 months later when my other grandfather died.
This is what happens when a metal band makes a ballad. They kill it, and on occasion make a song that a whole generation can sing word for word, and sometimes more than one generation.
So many guitars were used on that track. You are hearing a Gretsch White Falcon, a telecaster and probably the one you are hearing predominantly ringing and chiming like a mandolin is a 12 string on a double neck SG.
Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Where I Roam. Most of the Black album and most of Master of Puppets album. You are in for such a treat with this group.
I've been listening to Metallica for years and I still couldn't tell you any of their names, but I can tell you, I love their sound, their music and their messages!!! PEACE!!!!!
I’ve become a big fan of your channel. You remind me of when I first got into metal and the reactions I had when I first heard my now favorite bands. Since you seem to really like the songs people suggest, I’ve always wondered if there’s ever been a song where you just couldn’t stand. Like you got halfway through the song and threw off your headphones and said “This is crap. I just can’t listen to it anymore?”
Just discovered your page today. I’m already a fan. Loved it when the music hit you and and your eyes closed. That’s when you got fully immersed and that’s when the music means the most. Great reaction subscribing immediately.
You may be young but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to evaluate a song and how it makes you feel. I understood exactly what you were saying. Thanks for the great reaction! ❤️
You are a keen observer. I love your reactions. I love the analogy of the drummer as wave that the guitarist ride on. You said this having never heard the song before. I love this song and your reaction just made me love it even more.
The extra guitar your hearing is called a double neck gibson es1275 it has 12 strings on one neck that are tuned an octave from each other to make it sound angelic and beautiful like your hearing. Many bands used them. From led zeppelin to guns n roses.
To answer your question Jojo, the guitar that you hear in the background is a standard electric guitar being played by Kirk Hammett, oftentimes referred to as "Rhythm Guitar"
The members of Metallica at the time of this video's release were: James Hetfield - lead vocals/guitar (he plays the guitar Solo on this song) Kirk Hammett - lead guitar Jason Newsted - Bass Lars Ulrich - drums (Pronounced "Ulll-Rick") Normally, on Metallica songs, Kirk Hammett would play the guitar Solo, but this song is the exception
@4:10, ish....EXACTLY!! Lars Ulrich- the drummer, and James Hetfeild-the lead singer, lived together for some time in Cali...and if one would come up with something, he'd wake the other n if they thought together it was good, they'd call the other's to cone over rt away...n see what they thought collectively...n bang it OUT!!❤
JoJo, huge fan, watched several of your reviews and love to see you grow as a young person listening and learning new music. I’ve heard you say many times that a song “speeds up” it doesn’t, songs keep the same tempo, usually. What you are hearing is dynamics. Dynamics are not in todays pop/rap music they turn the EQ and levels on everything all the way up. In metal/rock and specifically songs like Nothing Else Matters, they use a technique called dynamics and the guitar also uses expression pedals and can sound differently. What you were hearing was a guitar, but James and Kirk are playing the same solo at the same time, probably in a different octave on some notes. That’s where a guitar player will play say a C on a lower string and another guitar plays a C on a higher string at the same time, to create that dissonance you are hearing. Dynamics is when the music is quiet and peaceful, sometimes played intentionally softer and then a crescendo to a very loud or harsh sound. Although the crescendo can be subtle. This all means emotion to the listener, you feel what they are trying to portray to you. It’s nice to see you feel this emotion in your reactions, it’s something I have felt my whole life. Keep up the good work, it’s refreshing.
It's a semi-hollow guitar. They are electric guitars that have the two bouts hollowed out with, usually, F-holes to allow air flow and a solid body through the center. They do make a different sound than regular electric or acoustic guitars.

James Hetfield is the lead singer. He said he had to “actually learn to sing instead of just screaming in key” for this song.
And then blew his voice out on tour for this album. Would be interesting to see how their future albums would have went had he not blown his voice
Yo Jojo, if you appreciate guitar at all you need to check out a Joe satriani song or Steve Vai song. Those dudes make the guitars make noises I didn't even know were possible! Guitar gods the both of them!
@@chuckstallman5 Absolutely true
@@chuckstallman5 Surfing with the alien changed how I viewed and listened to guitar and rock music.

I'd love to see a video where Jojo gets to asks all the guitar questions of someone with the answers. I always sit here like "I can explain that!'.
Great work as always, mate!
I've been listing to Metallica since I was 6 years old been a fan since then my mom and dad would play them endlessly and now passing there music onto my kids my two oldest love them
I love this guy now! "Metallica sounds like the name of a starship" 🤭👍 Well done, Jojo. I just today started watching your reactions. I'm always SOO happy when someone from a different music genre comes to the rock side and catches our feels! LOVE IT!! Rock is for everyone! 🥰🙏
It's a Chorus Pedal with an overdrive pedal, that he uses to make his guitar sound like that.
LOVE your insights into all this great rock music! Drummer ALWAYS sets the "back beat" - that's what makes rock...ROCK. James is playing lead guitar on 1 of the greatest love songs of all time, & pouring his heart into it. If you want to hear another 1 like this, check out "I Remember You" by Skid Row. It'll have you in tears, I promise!
Thank You 🙂 I'm a white old lady who was at Wood Sock. ..Love that you appreciate.. We come from our hearts
You need to listen to Run Through The Jungle by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It’s another Vietnam war protest song
Lmao my brother and I were hiking in the woods the other day listening to that
I agree, he should definitely check out more Creedence
I'm just so happy to see you get it. Whether you can peice together the lyrics or meaning correctly or not, you feel it and that counts my brother.
After all these years, this song still gets me... every time... 🤘😎🤘
Listen to Garden of Eden by Guns N Roses. I would love to see you react to that.
Danke das es dich gibt, genau so hört man musik, man fühlt und merkt instrumente............. mehr menschen von dir bitte
Hey bro, im 40 and been playing rock music along with Metallica music and it's badass and love the way they have rocked on for many years. I really respect how you of a preferred other music, can connect and understand this amazing music. Im also been a dj for many years and have connected with other music buy badass video my brother, much love! Rock on!😎
happy to see some young people like you open to discover past old songs (more than me) and even more if they don't listen this kind of music. You make me hope for the youth...
Yay, LFR Jojo day! 😅. One of the best metal ballards ever💞
One of the things i like the most about Nothing Else Matters, is the ending "James Hetfield" guitar solo !!!
Still have my father's record player, vinyl is the why it was meant to be heard!
This young guy does a Great Job, like his comments!
This was the song my wedding party danced to. We all grew up loving Metallica songs.
Played this at my wedding, along with their version and the original of "Whiskey in the Jar". My son heard Metallica in utero, and every time I played it he would start kicking. Today he's almost 18 and still a huge fan. I'm always so happy to see you experiencing this band that has meant so much to my little family. ❤❤
Honestly, it’s pretty legit watchin youth get down to music I grew up on. Takes me back to a time man
30+ years ago this is the song that got me into listening to metal, i was 10, just learning the guitar
Listen to the whole album. This album made me a heavy metal girl!!! I was born way after these guys were at their best albums. My music died in 1994. Make it alive AGAIN!!!
I would like to see your reaction to Metallica - Enter sandman live in Moscow 1992
Of of the three most amazing shows in the history of rock.
Just my thoughts this morning, it's LFR Jojo day, LOL 😆...but you did it, you did this song! I literally just suggested that if you like Ballads that this would be one of them.
You explained that very well. All the right ingredients 😉 love the music thank you for sharing 💕🎶
They're laying lots of guitars on top of each other. There's at least 4 if not maybe even up to 10!
The white guitar hes using is a gretch "semi-hollow" so its still an electric, but has that big body. A lot of jazz players used semi hollows.
You were possibly hearing the 12 string as the "higher" portions since it doubles the strings and makes a more jangly sound and on the higher strings it has them an octave higher in each pair. Essentially its the same layout as a regular guitar (with 6 strings) but it has another string next to each one that is an octave higher
It took almost 10 years before I could listen to this without crying. It was the 1st Metallica song I heard after my grandfather died, and the 1st one I heard 4 months later when my other grandfather died.
This is what happens when a metal band makes a ballad. They kill it, and on occasion make a song that a whole generation can sing word for word, and sometimes more than one generation.
So many guitars were used on that track. You are hearing a Gretsch White Falcon, a telecaster and probably the one you are hearing predominantly ringing and chiming like a mandolin is a 12 string on a double neck SG.
Sad song that'll hit you hard "Jeremy by Pearl Jam"
Just a couple Metallica songs...
-Ride The Lightning
-Fade To Black
-Creeping Death
-One
-Enter Sandman
-Master Of Puppets
-
I completely agree with this list of songs 😏
Seek and Destroy
Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Where I Roam. Most of the Black album and most of Master of Puppets album. You are in for such a treat with this group.
I've been listening to Metallica for years and I still couldn't tell you any of their names, but I can tell you, I love their sound, their music and their messages!!! PEACE!!!!!
3:26 you must be thinking of Gwar.
They really are a bunch of aliens in a band on stage lol
Haha yeah
I’ve become a big fan of your channel. You remind me of when I first got into metal and the reactions I had when I first heard my now favorite bands.
Since you seem to really like the songs people suggest, I’ve always wondered if there’s ever been a song where you just couldn’t stand. Like you got halfway through the song and threw off your headphones and said “This is crap. I just can’t listen to it anymore?”
Just discovered your page today. I’m already a fan. Loved it when the music hit you and and your eyes closed. That’s when you got fully immersed and that’s when the music means the most. Great reaction subscribing immediately.
You may be young but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to evaluate a song and how it makes you feel. I understood exactly what you were saying. Thanks for the great reaction! ❤️
Listen to NIN March of the pigs. Or NIN & Gary Numan Cars.
LFR's review is a bulls eye. I believe you hit the point of the art that was created by this masterpiece
Looks like a Gibson hollow body electric geeetarrr
“Blackened” is my all time favorite Metallica song! It’s LIT, no cap!
You are a keen observer. I love your reactions. I love the analogy of the drummer as wave that the guitarist ride on. You said this having never heard the song before. I love this song and your reaction just made me love it even more.
DO MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!
The extra guitar your hearing is called a double neck gibson es1275 it has 12 strings on one neck that are tuned an octave from each other to make it sound angelic and beautiful like your hearing. Many bands used them. From led zeppelin to guns n roses.
It took us all by storm. Could not believe our ears!
To answer your question Jojo, the guitar that you hear in the background is a standard electric guitar being played by Kirk Hammett, oftentimes referred to as "Rhythm Guitar"
A fav Metallica song of mine that hasn't been listed yet is King Nothing. Love it lyricly
The members of Metallica at the time of this video's release were:
James Hetfield - lead vocals/guitar (he plays the guitar Solo on this song)
Kirk Hammett - lead guitar
Jason Newsted - Bass
Lars Ulrich - drums (Pronounced "Ulll-Rick")
Normally, on Metallica songs, Kirk Hammett would play the guitar Solo, but this song is the exception
@4:10, ish....EXACTLY!! Lars Ulrich- the drummer, and James Hetfeild-the lead singer, lived together for some time in Cali...and if one would come up with something, he'd wake the other n if they thought together it was good, they'd call the other's to cone over rt away...n see what they thought collectively...n bang it OUT!!❤
Please do either “I remember you” or “Youth gone wild” by skid row, I’m gonna do this on every video until you do .-.
JoJo, huge fan, watched several of your reviews and love to see you grow as a young person listening and learning new music. I’ve heard you say many times that a song “speeds up” it doesn’t, songs keep the same tempo, usually. What you are hearing is dynamics. Dynamics are not in todays pop/rap music they turn the EQ and levels on everything all the way up. In metal/rock and specifically songs like Nothing Else Matters, they use a technique called dynamics and the guitar also uses expression pedals and can sound differently. What you were hearing was a guitar, but James and Kirk are playing the same solo at the same time, probably in a different octave on some notes. That’s where a guitar player will play say a C on a lower string and another guitar plays a C on a higher string at the same time, to create that dissonance you are hearing. Dynamics is when the music is quiet and peaceful, sometimes played intentionally softer and then a crescendo to a very loud or harsh sound. Although the crescendo can be subtle. This all means emotion to the listener, you feel what they are trying to portray to you. It’s nice to see you feel this emotion in your reactions, it’s something I have felt my whole life. Keep up the good work, it’s refreshing.
It's a semi-hollow guitar. They are electric guitars that have the two bouts hollowed out with, usually, F-holes to allow air flow and a solid body through the center. They do make a different sound than regular electric or acoustic guitars.
