This album deserves more reviews/reactions. As a true Metallica fan..I appreciate all they have to offer. They are not afraid to step out of their comfort zone and create something new and different. I admire them for that
THANK YOU!!! to me you cant really be a fan of a band if youre just gunna turn on them as soon as they wanna try something else. . cause then your just a fan of a genre..... not a band. .
i loved reload
@@Blizzard0fHope give me any album, load, reload, st anger, kill em, mop, death magnetic or any other, i love them all. i love all their songs i literally have their entire catalog on a playlist that i can just put on random... never a disappointment
The words of the low man, the lyric of man when he is at his lowest. A homeless man addicted to drugs and bogged down. His fingers seek his veins and he seeks warmth from the burn barrel. Hard on himself for letting this happen, for letting himself get to this point. He is used to his torment. He is comfortable in his discomfort. Bring this poor dog in from the rain though he just wants right back out again. His penance for his sins is to remain as he is.
Damn. Just damn. One of my favorite songs from my favorite group and never grasped this concept! Thanks, Sarge!
@@chrislancaster lol. What I said just not in those exact words. To remain as he is IE homeless and addicted IE back on the streets.
"And I cry to the alleyway
Confess all to the rain" just became one of my favorite lines.
Finally!!!
A masterpiece, better than nothing else matters
Happy birthday, James hetfield!! King of metal
The instrument that is sort of bagpipe like is called a Hurdy Gurdy. It has a crank that has to be continually turned which is what makes that constant undertone, then there’s keys, sort of like an accordion, that you press to make notes on top of that single undertone. It’s a pretty haunting instrument.
Really ? I thought it was a fiddle
Thanks for sharing man!! This goes to show they are willing to experiment with not only different styles of music but different instruments
Yep the guitarist from faith no more let james use his for the song, pretty cool beans
Finally someone reacts to this masterpiece 🙏🙏
Next up- House that Jack built!
That one is fucking crazy. Great lyrics, structure, the chorus is amazing.
I second this
I third this
I forth this
fifth this
SIXETH'D THIS
It’s about Drugs and addiction and not shedding tears for a man who doesn’t deserve it. It’s an incredibly deep song. This and bleeding me are two of my favorite songs from them and hit very close to home.
I agree 👍. James has had a long history of addiction to alcohol, others in the band as well, but not as serious. I can see why he'd share this with us all, it's because he wants us to know what it's like to go through his suffering and pain, so that we can make better decisions in our lives and better ourselves. If we learn from the mistakes of others because they shared the experience with us, then shame on us for not learning. I too have struggled for a very long time with alcohol addiction. I've lost some of my closest and most dear friends and family members over the years and didn't know how to cope with the pain.
From what I've learned, don't ever, EVER!!! be afraid to ask for help, because the people who truly care about you will do what ever it takes to get you the help you need.
The lyrics in many of Metallica's songs are about this very thing without coming across as preaching. I owe my life to Metallica, without the inspiration to live and fight for a solution to my problems, I would've been dead 25yrs ago.
It’s about addiction yes, but also suicide. It’s written as a suicide note for one to read after he commits the act. “So as I write to you, of what is done and to do, maybe you’ll understand and won’t cry for this man, for low man is due.” Key phrase is “of what is done and to do” meaning he clearly hasn’t committed suicide yet, but will have by the time someone is reading this letter. And he’s telling them not to be sad, for this low man is due and ready for death and the release of life. Incredibly deep indeed. A truly powerful song.
A lot of Metallica fans hate this era but I love it so much. It was so experimental and unique.
You're the only reactor who actually isn't chasing trends, and I greatly respect you for that. And even though I know these songs musically and can play them, I often learn new things from your analysis. I love that ppl like you have made me listen to music again, I am 40, and I guess that is the age when these things happen to many of us. But I refuse to become a sterile middle-aged dofus that won't appreciate the colorful things of this world, like music😀
James Hetfields birthday today
HAPPY MF'N BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!!!🎂🎂🎈🎈🎉🎉
58 years old, the ol' bastard.
You are the only reaction channel I watch to both watch you and to learn so much about the artistic side of interpreting music. Thanks for all the Metallica videos 😊✌
Agree with the addiction and internal struggle, great job. Haven’t heard this in 15 odd years. Superb.
Now knowing more about James Hetfield I understand why he wrote this letter. (alcohol addiction, depression and many internal struggles in it)
When Load album was created, I hated MetallicA. When Reload was created, I listened it quikly in a supermarket, I discovered this song, and I buyed the CD only for this song. I listened only this song, and Unforgiven, until many years later. I recovered MetallicA when St.Anger, and specially Death Magnetic arrived. So, I love Low Man's Lyric.
Please, react to "Just a Bullet Away" song.
this sound....this feels like who the real James Hetfield is at his core
You hit this interpretation right on the head for me. It's a song from an addict that hates the fact that they are an addict, but still cannot help themselves. They want help, but are incapable of taking that crucial step towards sobriety, and the song is their lament.
Incredible reaction, as always
Thanks dear.... for elaborating a song which is very unusual and less available on internet above all.... from my boyhood and winters
Man, i listened to this song when I was like 12 y/o, and it was like love at first sight, I always loved the vibe and the emotiones this song portrays, very underrated track btw. Definitely on my top 2 'tallica songs, just below Blackend
One of my favorite songs, and I really enjoyed your reaction. The lyric "the trash fire is warm" always brought the image of a homeless person warming their hands over a fire in a trashcan to my mind, so I always assumed that was the "low man".
Anyway, I can't wait to watch more of your channel.
I honestly do believe that it has to do with addiction and the struggle of breaking promises to yourself and your loved ones,,, I was an alcoholic for many years and now 9 years sober,, and this song sits very close to my heart and the struggle I went through with addiction to alcohol,,, the first time I heard this song ot hit me so hard I cried and I even tear up now when I hear it,,, because I was that low man in the lyrics,,,, I listen to this song on a regular basis to remind me where I was AMD where I'm never going back to
Man I am so glad you are going to continue with Metallica. Thanks for all of your hard work Dave. Hope it’s worth the effort on your end.
Well that all depends on the video’s performance and right now it’s not looking too good 😭. Around 1.2k views is what’s expected at this time according to my pages average. Nevertheless I’m with Metallica for life!
Song so under rated
Great reaction!! Very underrated song from Metallica. Check out more Load/Reload tracks, Hero Of The Day; The House Jack Built; Thorn Within; Where The Wild Things Are; Devil's Dance 🤘⚡
I remember when Load came out, so many hardcore Metallica fans jumped off the bandwagon because “they changed” & “they cut their hair”, but in reality they (Metallica) expanded themselves.
Load is a great freakin’ album from start to finish. Reload, IMO, isn’t quite as good, but does have a lot of awesome songs, especially this one, Low Man’s Lyric🤘🏼
Hey Dave! What it do? 👍
I haven’t heard this song in years. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again. Another great reaction, Dude!
You’ve seem to have a knack of either introducing me to stuff/bands(rap-battles/Slipknot), or re-introducing me to “my toons” from back in the day!
I’ve never really looked at the lyrics that way. Never really picked ‘em apart before, unlike most other Metallica tracks. And the addiction idea seems spot on.
I imagine, now, that it’s James speaking to his wife & family about his addiction, and it’s reoccurrence.
He has had 2 stints in rehab. His most recent was only 2yrs ago. And today he looks as fresh as I’ve ever seen him.
Respect to my life hero! 👊
Keep up the great work, Dave! 🤘
P.S. Thank you 👍
great choice Dave
The only channel that has reacted to this song...Don't cheat yourself...React to of my favorite and underatted albums by Metallica
Thanks Brother Keep Rocking 🤟
Dave, do not forget, "Carpe diem baby" by Metallica from "Reload" album od still waiting - tik tok, tik tok ...
The thing that appears in that song is hurdy-gurdy (a rolling instrument) maybe that's why it sounds to you as bagpipes
Love that song happy birthday James!!!
This one is country Tuesday's...lol It is one of their most deep songs, along the lines of Fixxxer, Dyers Eve, Mama Said and The Unnamed Feeling.
Mama Said is so good.
So glad you did this one🔥 Keep it up dave👍
I enjoyed your point of view, and thanks for adressing details I didn't notice. Love your tone, love your objective way of analysis. From France, thanks for your content.
Edit : i think you really got the point... Thanks
Bro, hard times here, thanks a lot, from the bottom of my heart.
Edit : and if I can dare to ask : Django - Centurion , if you want an English traduction, just ask, you won't regret.
It can be more situations then this example but I like to think of an addicted homeless Vet talking to himself in reference to a relationship with family of perhaps his wife or significant other and for some reason he is "guilty". Now I know that words not in there but you can hear it all through the song. I also consider his apology is to whom he cannot be around for long because he's guilty in that whatever he's done is a part of who he is. The sad duality of life like wanting what you regret or loving what you hate or accepting what you cannot stand... Those sorts of things...
Love your insights! You never fail to make me look at my favorite songs in a different light!
Metallica’s Load and Reload albums are drastically underrated. Please react to “Hero of the Day” and “Mama Said” for the Load album. This is the period where Metallica got away from fast, chugging metal riffs and more into organic songs that arrived when they sat in for elaborate jam sessions by themselves (along with the aid of producer Bob Rock).
I appreciate that you talk a bit here and there giving your thoughts about the song as it goes (reaction content, especially music reactions, for me can be hit or miss but i dig this video)
This is one of my favorite deep cuts from Metallica, really unique, hard hitting. I love the hurdy gurdy in the beginning. The and fantastic vocal delivery by James on the "And I cry to the alleyway" verse, as well as the song in general. The outro leaves you with this weird somber feeling, but almost like theres some hope with the hurdy gurdy outro with the humming (to me). Almost always have to restart the song at least once.
Im gonna have to check out some of your other videos man, you do metal stuff often?
Oh right the video is called metal Tuesdays my bad XD
I saw youve done some Gojira, love them a lot. Theres a band thats a couple levels heavier that have similar themes of wanting to protect the planet, but more of a tongue in cheek anti-human take on it called cattle decapitation. their last couple albums have a strong sense of melody interspersed throughout if youd want to check them out:
I suggest songs like Pacific Grim (Optionally with the song Ave Exitium, which comes before it on the Anthropocene Extinction album), as well as the "short film" for Death Atlas. Both are very heavy hitting, with Death altas having this grand and sad epic atmosphere to it. And having lyrics at hand like you did here would be suggested since they are further into the Death metal realm
I'm Irish and I always got an Irish vibe from this song so naturally I loved it. Still do 🤘
Hurdy Gurdy
Well, both James and Kirk are both half Irish. Maybe this was their inner Celts coming out.
Hetfield is definitely Scots-Irish.
my favorite metallica song of all time , great reaction🐐
This was a great breakdown dude. It was interesting watching your journey through it, and interpretation of the meaning, and landing on the same conclusion I did lol. Great stuff homie
Thank God James Hetfield was born
Exactly like the words of a broken man who wants to do better for himself but can't stop the wrongful things he's doing TO himself. He knows it hurts him but it's so hard for him to stop.
I think your spot on
Happy Birthday James!!!
Great job thanks
Happy Birthday James!
I always felt this song is how he wants to change his music style and maybe calm down a bit and this is a letter to us the fans!? That’s my interpretation. These albums were a real departure from past albums. I love it and if it is to us we love and forgive!
Perfect song
Keep it up man
The instrument is called a herdy gerdy.
❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my god this soooooong❤❤🤘🤘😩😩
edit: Happy Birthday PapaHet!!!!🤘🤘
Great song, very underrated.
I really like your take on the song it's the first song I learned how to sing really well. I also think it's about addiction. The singer struggled with it.
Your thoughtful analysis of the lyrics sets your reactions apart from others.
Try Machine Head Left Behind.
Greatest band in history!
This song, about me...😭
Please check out Metallica "moth into flame" off their latest album. It's just like their old material with a modern twist!
I get this request a lot. I saved it in my watch later playlist. I will get it done!
@@whatitdodave Awesome. I think you'll really enjoy it
I always thought this song was about addiction tbh or maybe just projecting what it meant to me attaching meaning to lyrics that maybe werent there.
ive loved this song ever since the first time i heard it . . . and its criminally under represented when people are reacting to metallica. .
i think it has alot to do with the fact that this is off a later album, after all the elitsts jumped ship when the band was trying different sounds. but id put this right up there with almost any other metallica song
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot fans too.
The song is "Winds of Transylvania"
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
👏🏻🤟🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷
Amazing !! Suicide and redemption and Halo on fire please !! Would love you to analyze them
Do Carpe Diem Baby.
Best album, don't @ me.
It’s a hurdy gurdy.
Tik tok, tik tok, u know me Dave......
Clearly its James talking about himself and his wife, through all the alcohol problems he had with his family in the 90s.
Is it so clear on a first time listen? You are way better than me.
@@whatitdodave No hahah. It's clear to me because I already had listen to some enterviews of him saying that his wife kicked him out of house some times
His infidelity
That s not true, he married his wife in 97 and he got kicked out from his house in early 00’s, this song is from a drug addicted person’s pov.
The instrument is the hurdy-gurdy
Could you please react to Where I Belong by Simple Plan and State Champs Ft. We The Kings? It's an upbeat punk rock song and I think you would really enjoy it :)
I think this one is a song to his wife, a message, trying to be honest to her. As i understand, he has a problem to open up eye to eye with the people who is closest to him.
Nothing Else matters is also to her.
But i think low mans lyrics is the first time he opens up publicly to her about he's alkoholism.
I could be wrong? But thats what i gott out of this video
To me it sounds like someone about to end their life with a shot of dope. Fingers seak the veins, touch clean with a dirty hand, a clean needle, touch the clean to the waste, sucking up the drugs in a clean syringe, then the part about not crying for him or of what is done or to do, and saying please forgive me and saying dont cry for this man cause low man is due..... Or maybe it's just what it meant to me at one point....
I know ur fans mean alot to u guys.
Dave heart my comment :)
With your voice,you need working on radio 🤗💯
So we not gon talk ab the hair? Like sheesh🔥🔥hide yo gf's, wives and crushes🤣
I feel like he has become a vagabond
About his numerous times committing infidelity, and all the pain it brought to his marriage.
One of the addictions he struggles with.
Low man's lyric is actually about a homeless man who has ruined his lyrics. When he says the trash fire is warm that gives it away
*song is ending* "That could be a guitar" - Dude that fucked up the whole song.
I think its like a homeless person. The trashfire is warm
Think of Jesus..
Huge fan of Metallica, but this song just didn't do them justice. It was more about the lyrics than the music. I was like you Dave, waiting for them to break loose. Love your reaction though.
