    “You lie so much you believe yourself” is by far my favorite lyric in this song.

    This song feels so appropriate in today’s world where so many people judge, criticize and belittle others, whether it’s from a religious standpoint, social or a political one. Great analysis for a song that gets overlooked but seems relevant in a long list of Metallica songs that share a great message.

    I know the the Black Album gets so much hate from Metal elitists, but this album sure is chock full of tasty riffs. My mom actually owned this album back in 91' and i will admit i stole it from her a few times and would listen to in my walkman waiting for the school bus. Also, Lars isn't a terrible drummer. A lot of great and superior drummers since have cited Lars' contribution to Metal and as an influence on them. Joey from Slipknot. The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold, and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater just to name a few.

      Honestly it was the peak of their music IMO.
      I really wish they hadn't kept the volume down on newstead and really embraced the sound he had.
      I play guitar but I'm a huge fan of bands that embrace the bass 😆. Rush, Primus, Floater and red hot shili peppers are a few that really show its not just a filler but a instrument ment to be heard.
      Ohh can't forget Tool...

      If people were to look at what the black album really is, they would see it is arguably one of the greatest ROCK albums ever made. It isnt a metal album. Its a Heavy rock album.

    • @klimurgnus
      @klimurgnus 2 роки тому +4

      This is the album that got me into metal music, I don’t get the hate. I have a feeling it has to do with the time. Metal was still a fairly niche genre at the time and this album blew up, so all the folks who loved metal at the time probably felt like it was taking their special thing away. I get the same way honestly. Theres a few tiny bands that I listen to and interact with the artists, and shamefully I get jealous seeing them get the success they deserve.🤷🏼‍♂️

    When I was in my early-mid teens my grandparents took me to church. In between services we would be in the lobby area and people in their fancy suits would be talking to each other about how successful their business, or job was. One Sunday in between services I look over and there is this man, standing kind of in the corner, but no one was talking to him, not even the pastors. He had kinda dirty jeans, Old coat, he was really shy. But for 15-20 minutes nobody approached him. I felt bad for him went up to say hello. He was new in our town, and just finished serving as a Marine in the 1st Iraq war. To this day DaSean and I are still buddies....................I did not go to church for 20 years, because that was how I seen the church.

    I'm glad you dropped this video. I had been asked by the minister at my church yesterday if I would be interested in doing a class. An idea for the older teens was a "heavy metal music" meets Scripture, similar to what you do here. Don't know how well it would go over, but you don't know.

    This is actually one of my favorite tracks on the Black Album and when this album dropped when I was in high school. I too had it on cassette and didn't pick it up on CD until just a few years ago at Walmart for $5.00. I understood the message of the song. I always try to not think I am above people just because I am a Christian. And I always try to stay humble from day to day about many things. Sadly I have been burnt out on the Black Album due to it being way overplayed on the radio. Especially Enter Sandman. I used to love that song, but can't stand it now as I have heard it a million times. lol Great message! God Bless!

    James as I'll always say, is a truth teller. His lyrics aren't typically written about fictitious things, and he always hits the nail on the head. I've been listening too Metallica since 1996, they're the best band lyrically and musically in my opinion. They are touring as we speak, Metallica isn't the kinda band to lose there love and passion, of playing live, and recording new music, which they are currently doing as well. You guys take care. Excellent Video.

    I recently reconciled with God, but I still have conflict on weather is right or wrong to keep listening to this music, a part of me tell me is wrong and other part tell me is ok … I love Christian metal bands but there is also a good chunk of non Christian related bands that I love … what is your thought on this?

    I'd love to see you react to skeletons of society by Slayer I think you'll probably enjoy it or at least have an interesting idea of what the song may be about
