I love towards the end, you can hear James having fun. That's the point, they don't write music to make everyone happy, they make music because they love it.
Exactly, I keep pointing out the same thing about this album. You can tell they had FUN on this album, how many bands that have been around for 40 years are still putting out material where they're having fun? Incredible album, I personally would rate it a 9.5 out of 10!
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead It's such a good album. The only thing I'd change is kirks solos lol. I mean some are alright but they're repeated twice to three times lol. I love Kirk but man lol
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHeadIt's one of their best albums, imho yes - It is better than Load, Reload, St. Anger... I can't say if It's better than Hardwired and Death Magnetic tho
Awesome 👍 reaction friend. I'm happy at 60 they're still making new Music and me 55 still hear to listen to it. Been fan since 84. I wish I could see them but i have Osteoporosis MS now. So YT is my live music of them ETC Enjoy them everyone cuz we don't know how long we have New music by them keeps going on. Respect
@@andalf_der_graue I agree. Special song for sure... it is hard to rate songs in top5, it changes. But nothing like Inamorata, it has so many elements from older albums, but it is something else, unique..,.
Thsi song gets me in tears everytime, its a true masterpiece from Metallica. This whole album is one of their greatest in their carrer, so much emotion musically and lyrically. Metallica never fails to surprise us even in their 60s. That's pure artists. The greatest thing is they don't write songs for anybody, they write for themselves cause it is pure joy and creative flow of their hearts, thats why they don't care for their fans opinion or thoughts. Art is simple as that, just do what you want do.
And James writes lyrics in a way that are very personal to him yet vague enough for us fans to interpret them unto our own lives and issues. It’s pure talent!
I'm sorry but there is NO OTHER band in the world that can write such an emotional ang thought provoking song. Simply astonishing music and the BEST song they have wrote in the last 30 years. Just amazing ❤
Well, you see, I wrote to you that it's a beautiful and emotional song, the harmony is incredibly strong. Only Metallica can do this perfectly and beautifully. Dave I thank you and love you my man. You a great guy! THANKS 💛
James will be 60 in august And yeah, his vocals have aged like fine wine. Sure, he can’t sound like he did in the years 88-92, but that was him giving it 200 percent and blowing his voice out. But he’s taken what he has left to work with and refined it since
Matter fact this is actually the album closer. And what a way to end it too! So epic! Definitely one of Metallica’s best songs ever!!!!! Great reaction by the way! Keep up the great content man! 🤘🤘
This song really hits me in the feels and has brought me to tears, not just the lyrics, but the music itself is emotionally powerful! I love that this album is soo reflective, it gives an "old man reflecting on life" vibe and it's awesome. Even better is the fact that James is delivering his best vocal performances of his entire career on this album, I personally rate 72 Seasons a 9.5 out of 10! Best Metallica album in decades!! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
This song literally brought me to tears... this is so special... this entire album was very personal for me... Thank you MetallicA and thank you Dave for the fantastic breakdown❤️ Much Love & Respect🤘🙏
The ending solo ( which is at the end no shit ) gives me chills man. So good kirk did a good job and the solo sounded like it actually belonged to the song, if you like it on the first listen imagine how it would sound after growing. Edit : bro the solo is so good
My Friend Of Misery is in my Top 5 Metallica songs, Jason's bassline hits me deep in the soul. Before Inamorata, My Friend Of Misery is the only Metallica song that has made me cry. Tool has a few songs that can bring me to tears as well, music can be very powerful and healing!
A long time ago I got wind of the reaction videos, and I love them. Especially the first time you hear a new Metallica song and everyone has different takes on the music. Metallica is a blessing, what a time to be alive, thanks brother.

man this was a great week, everyday a new metallica reaction from you. you made my week. also that last solo is genius and gaved me so many goosepumps. Amazing album hope you do more metallica in the future!
A perfect sequel to their Black Album song; My Friend Misery. Both being tear inducing songs as well. Also, the guitar tones on this song and album have been insane and different from their prior material. That's saying something, that even after 40+ years Metallica is still making music that sounds fresh and new. While also still incorporating a careers worth of their signature sounds. Bravo to Metallica!
IMO everyone wants them to go beck to their trash root but whenever they do that people love the load/reload kinda stuff they put on the album and it’s really shows that metallica do the right thing by doing whatever they feel is right for them musically and emotionally… As a fan i really dig this album and i think it is their strongest album after the black album
to me, it is like the man in the desert sees happiness (water) in every place he looks but can't get any for himself. He carries bottles of happiness, that he drinks, but they are not enough. When he sinks in the sea, it's just him not being able to deal with happy situations or normal life. because this monster doesn't let him enjoy. And the woman, well in many songs vices are represented as women for some reason, maybe because they are tempting. And he knows that if he leaves with that vice, he will die. That's what I am getting from the animation. The song is less cryptic. Loneliness and misery are like vices, they feel awful at first, and afterwards they not only feel awful, but they feel like the only thing we know, they're what we know and we want to move out of them, but how? how will life feel without them, after so much time in their company? Sometimes it takes reaching rock bottom to realize you can't keep going this way.
Another fantastic insightful reaction. I love how you often pull in images from the videos or elements of the solo or song structure into your reaction discussions. When I only listen to the song I arrive at basicially the same conclusion as you, that he learned to deal with, not be defined by, and move on from his misery (the lover). But in the video I think the fox is symbolic of the passage of time. When the fox comes back to life after the guy is seen walking off with the lover (misery), it is indicative if the guy falling back into his old harmful habits and it is HIS skeleton the fox is sniffing at the end. The guy is off the wagon and a casualty of his relationship with the misesrable situation.
enjoyed your breakdown. a mans struggle with the woman he loves, whilst on hes own journeys. i think the part with the snake is the man got bitten and starts hallucinating from the poison.
dude i love how much you get into the music. very thoughtful commentary, you pointed out a bunch of stuff i missed the first time and it all makes total sense. keep it up brotherman \m/
Yooooo, great reaction brother, this song is insane good. I have been fan since 86 and this is just a great song. your reaction is super cool. rock on meng!
Great reaction, and some very interesting thoughts on what the song means and represents. Though I think it's about the split with his wife. This is a Metallic masterpiece. Epic! 🤘🔥
Essa música entrou para as grandes do MetallicA. Não consigo parar de ouvir. São 11 minutos que passam bem rapidinho. Vão ter que tocar muito ao vivo. Lembra eu escutando The unforgivem nos anos 90.
My favorite song from the new album! Love the chorus and the crazy epic harmony guitars at the end, and the soft part, this is a ride, love the grand anthem sound of the song! I think it's about his divorce that he filled for, and his married life with his wife! Great vid btw man!
You can translate it: Lo comento en español porque no tengo ganas de escribirlo en inglés y quiero darlo a entender. Yo creo que el zorro representa la relación que tuvieron o la existencia del amor de pareja. Cuando él la ve venir, es porque claramente murió y vuelve a reencontrarse con su amada por el resto de la eternidad. El zorro revive como símbolo de que lo que se había roto ahora vuelve a estar unido. Él nunca la superó, nunca avanzó, la siguió buscando hasta que toda su mente se convirtió en un páramo desierto. El desierto asumo que significa la depresión, tan fuerte y tan pesada que asfixia y simplemente sin nada alrededor que pueda saciarlo. El agua, la comida, se terminan significando que no tiene más interés en seguir.
Great reaction. I was thinking that the video depicted the death of the guy and he was dead the whole time. Like a afterlife exploration to find his girl who had passed already and the skellton at the end was his. Kind of like an out of body expeariance as he finally decided to join hands with the woman that he lived and died for?!?! Maybe. I don't really know but that's my thoughts on the video. The song itself is amazing!!!
I just appreciate Your viewpoint and perspective on this song. It just describes my life so far. I was thinking that You have listened to this before but still did the video. I feel that I was wrong. Big ups.
Yeah I reacted to the videos one by one as they came out. Now that I’ve done the whole album, I can listen to the songs freely now haha. What a great album.
My interpretation of the video is the guy never made it and he was dead all along, the whole sequence was a dream. I''m sure the song itself has a different meaning as does many of their videos tho
i have listened to the album and this song many many times and the more i listen to this song i can’t help but think James is talking about his ex-wife and divorce. We all know that James is very high on displaying and reflecting personal emotions in his lyrics and music and it is usually a very powerful song. So that’s my take on this masterpiece of a song. And you are right from the music point of view this is out of this world and could easily be an instrumental only like Orion, The Call of Ktulu, and To Live is To Die. I am absolutely in love with the lyrics but can listen to this song instrumentally for hours as well.
I think the bottles represent alcoholism, they never seem to quench his thirst and just lead to these bizarre experiences that could be his hallucinations under the influence! The little fox coming back to life after the man goes back to his normal life finds the bones of the man that used to be, the one that only saw death and torment; misery.
Imo the best song they wrote in the last 30 years.....👌
Top 5 of all time for me 🤘

Truth! It’s hypnotic to me. Beautiful piece of music.
So much emotion in this song. From the instruments to James' vocals. Absolutely epic!!!

God bless metallica and this absolute masterpiece
All of the band members are 59 and will be turning 60 this year. And secondly, it is James and Kirk with the guitar harmonies.
Hammett is already 60, he's turning 61 this year and Rob is actually 58, he's the youngest
I've cried everytime I've listened to this.
They Restored their Legacy ❤
they never lost it
@@lipexplode5090 I'm talking about those who think they lost their legacy and for me they never lost it ❤🤘🏽

I knew you would love this song. So deep and emotional.!!! A true Masterpiece!!
Man you are so right about every single point in this video

there are always mysteries hidden in a poem

The whole album is pure class but this song is special. Can’t explain exactly how and why…it’s just the feeling.
this is soo good

Misery is the "Lover" he is so dearly invested with, but realizes she's not what he's living for.
This one definitely has to be one of their best piece of work…c’mon now!
My opinion is it could be about James and his divorce from his wife and possibly his battle against alcohol addiction
I was thinking that too, what with his divorce and everything
Also, I could see his mom being part of it too in a way
I think the bottles represent alcoholism, they never seem to quench his thirst and just lead to these bizarre experiences that could be his hallucinations under the influence! The little fox coming back to life after the man goes back to his normal life finds the bones of the man that used to be, the one that only saw death and torment; misery.

We would love a review/tier on this album by you!! I want to hear your thoughts!
🤘😎
this album is a killer masterpiece if ya don't like it well then i don't what to tell ya
👍👍😎
To me it’s like being a slave to misery.
I think this is my favourite song on the record. I wonder if it's about James' recent divorce.
This thing is Ktulu right?)
James did get divorced last year so maybe he’s referencing the pain of ending a familiar relationship
Definitely about James' divorce.
Recently going through a divorce I am certain that this is in reference to James' own divorce.
In my opinion James Hetfield is the greatest musician on earth
The song is about an affair, a mistress. James hasn't went into any further details yet on this.
Actually that is a good point,. The dude free from bondage, and now he is in a world of finacial hurt, hence the desert.😂😂😂😂😂
You should for sure check out holy wars by Megadeth and yeah I'm cleaner by oddy nuff.
