James tends to write lyrics in a way that may mean something personal to him yet they are vague enough for us the listeners to have our own interpretation to make it personal for us too.
Death Magnetic does not get the love it deserves. A lot of very fun songs on that album. All Nightmare Long and That Was Just Your Life are good too, so I recommend those at the very least.
@@RareHarmony My only issue with the video is it's really distracting and takes away from the music if someone is reacting to the song for the first time. Same as the Spit out the bone video
I like your approach when you say it's about the music, not about the visuals. Music videos are fun but they can kind of 'overshadow' the musical experience.
Usually the lyrics are written from James experience's. This is actually focused on Kirk and his dad. The solo with the way are the two of them arguing back and forth.
This song is sader than you think... Lyrics are tilting towards an abusive parent that the kid cannot escape he's talking about how he feels and what the parent does to him in his life... The three minute guitar battle is the kid and parent battling each other everyday, one trying to dominate the other.. One guitar leads with rhythm and the other leads with melody and both are fighting for dominance but they cannot live in harmony.
I made the mistake of jumping in the shower while this played- well I realized while listening that I was missing your facial expressions for the last kick ass half- ya started your video all over again.
Dave, have you reacted to Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence? Not sure if I saw it on your playlist or not, but if you haven't, you have to watch the actual video because it's paints a horrific yet beautiful picture
I've always said and thought that if this album was mixed better it would be such a better album. The mixing of the album always seemed very very off? Thoughts anyone?
I know I said you should react to St. Anger as a half joke but the more i watch some of your videos, the more I realize you like to find the emotion and meaning behind the songs. St. Anger definitely has lots of emotion and lots of heavy AF riffs, so I do actually think you'd like some of the songs.
Been listening to rock and heavy metal since I was a kid... If I could recommend some bands, Iron maiden. Number of the beast, Hallow be thy name, when the wild wind blows, fear of the dark, aces high... Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody, under pressure with David Bowie ect Def Leopard... people from my city. Armageddon, animal ect. Fun fact for you, the drummer lost a arm in a crash and built a drumset to keep playing with his feet. Whitesnake... Led Zeppelin... Great bands.
Thanks for the reaction Dave! You are the best!!!!!!!! The next song from the Death Magnetic album that you should react to is Metallica-The End Of The Line
Great reaction and analysis as always. You have a unique way of describing music. If you can, please react to The Iron Foundry, Opus 19 live by Metallica from S&M2. It’s more symphony than metal, but there’s a riff in there that’ll knock your socks and locks off!
Damn, really rode thos one out. Many would get nervous and get the cold sweats after like 30+ seconds without pausing xD Sometimes you just gotta risk it if you feel it. If there are complainst it won't come from us then for sure, even though we don't want trouble for you ;P UA-cam man...
Well, the door has been open for 2 years haha. Here’s a list of all my Metallica reactions. We will see about your suggestions. ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu5hs4Ged1MNFPt-JVcx_mqq.html
This song always made me think of domestic violence. He hits the flesh, you hit the ground. Mouth so full of lies, tend to black you eyes. This one sticks out the most to me. He says he'll change, but the day never comes Also, I forgot to mention Love is a 4 letter word, but never spoken here
All my Metallica reactions!
ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu5hs4Ged1MNFPt-JVcx_mqq.html
Do you know that there’s a Naruto Rap in that playlist?
@@bldarkman accident. Thanks!
@@whatitdodave No problem! I love your reactions and insight!
Please react to The live version of this song from France. You are truly missing out not ever watching Metallica live!!!
@@metalmellie4371 I wouldn’t say ever. I have a couple of live Metallica reactions. I just want the music first, for first time listening.
James tends to write lyrics in a way that may mean something personal to him yet they are vague enough for us the listeners to have our own interpretation to make it personal for us too.
Best Metallica song of the past 20 years..
i think you misspelled the unforgiven 3
100%
Death Magnetic was actually a super solid album. Even I take it for granted sometimes
I’m not sure if people will agree with me but Cyanide from this album is AMAZING. One of my favorite Metallica songs.
cyanide is the most underated metallica song
The death magnetic album is underrated in my opinion. I love the whole album- and I’ve been listening to Metallica since the mid 80s!
I agree. Suicide and Redemption is a highlight for me on that album, being my second favorite Metallica instrumental just behind Orion
Death Magnetic does not get the love it deserves. A lot of very fun songs on that album. All Nightmare Long and That Was Just Your Life are good too, so I recommend those at the very least.
1000000% agree. Both are must listens
Agreed. All Nightmare Long actually has a cool video to go with it.
@@RareHarmony My only issue with the video is it's really distracting and takes away from the music if someone is reacting to the song for the first time. Same as the Spit out the bone video
@@andyk2607 I understand. I never knew there was a Spit Out The Bone video. Gotta check that out.
@@RareHarmony It's pretty cool
Even better with the video.
All nightmare long and that was just your life are both a must from this album, Dave. Epic
Metallica - Halo on Fire (official music video) please!
Great job Dave! This song is straight fire! Be careful going down to Metallica rabbit hole, you'll get lost lol, and I look forward to it
The video is dumb..
Sister song from
Fade to Black
Sanitarium
One
The Day That Never Comes
@@8tonystark8
Great suggestions!!😁
@@andrewmcgill9544 All of their music videos are extremely campy and dramatic.
This is coming from the biggest Metallica fan there is.
I like your approach when you say it's about the music, not about the visuals. Music videos are fun but they can kind of 'overshadow' the musical experience.
What Kirk Hammett said it was written about an abusive father/son relationship. His dad used to beat him and his mum before he bailed on them.
Genius song... thanks for reaction from Russia 🇷🇺))))!!!
My Apocalypse or Broken Beat & Scarred next, please!!
ONE of the 21st century
Usually the lyrics are written from James experience's. This is actually focused on Kirk and his dad. The solo with the way are the two of them arguing back and forth.
One of my favorite metallica Songs.
Please do react to That Was Just Your Life
My favorite song on that album 🤘🤘. Thanks Dave.
It’s my favorite song off the album too
2 songs into 1 pal what a song
Most definitely one of their greatest songs!!!!metallica still have some more gems for you!!!!
Wow! That was a hell of a reaction Dave. There are so many gems in newer Metallica. Keep it up.
One of the best songs from Death Magnetic is "My Apocalypse". You should react to it
The Kings 🤘
we need more metallica reactions!
This song is sader than you think... Lyrics are tilting towards an abusive parent that the kid cannot escape he's talking about how he feels and what the parent does to him in his life...

No no no video Dave, you have to do the live version from France!!! It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!! There's nothing better than Metallica live!!!
Thank you for such a good reaction, your facial expressions and impressions are great, especially the moment the music ends.
FINALLY!!! My DUUUUDE!!!!
Interestingly, the official clip shows a story of war in the Middle East. Some things humans do differ only by scale.
@@ianwakers breaking cycles of violence, that's the common theme.
Live, watch this live in Nimmes France!
My apocalypse from this album
I made the mistake of jumping in the shower while this played- well I realized while listening that I was missing your facial expressions for the last kick ass half- ya started your video all over again.
Dave, have you reacted to Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence? Not sure if I saw it on your playlist or not, but if you haven't, you have to watch the actual video because it's paints a horrific yet beautiful picture
Hear hear.
@@ianwakers I disagree. It is a rare case of a cover being better than the original.
@@ianwakers stop the press - Ian Wakefield is musical taste czar.
love it
I've always said and thought that if this album was mixed better it would be such a better album. The mixing of the album always seemed very very off? Thoughts anyone?
Great reaction once again Dave🔥🔥
"Broken Beat and Scared" next reaction please, will love it
I know I said you should react to St. Anger as a half joke but the more i watch some of your videos, the more I realize you like to find the emotion and meaning behind the songs. St. Anger definitely has lots of emotion and lots of heavy AF riffs, so I do actually think you'd like some of the songs.
I like the way you break down song I feel I learn something or get a different angle to it.
Been listening to rock and heavy metal since I was a kid...
If I could recommend some bands, Iron maiden.
Number of the beast, Hallow be thy name, when the wild wind blows, fear of the dark, aces high...
Queen.
Bohemian Rhapsody, under pressure with David Bowie ect
Def Leopard... people from my city.
Armageddon, animal ect.
Fun fact for you, the drummer lost a arm in a crash and built a drumset to keep playing with his feet.
Whitesnake...

Metallica
Ha! I found it!

React to the hardwired to self destruct album please that album is fire🔥
Damn, really rode thos one out. Many would get nervous and get the cold sweats after like 30+ seconds without pausing xD Sometimes you just gotta risk it if you feel it. If there are complainst it won't come from us then for sure, even though we don't want trouble for you ;P
UA-cam man...
More Metallica and Nightwish!
Iron Maiden - The Writing On The Wall
Also, I believe the true lyrics are “the son shine never comes”
hey dave since you are opening the metallic door of awesomeness can you react to there songs, invisible kid, turn the page, and enter sandman?
Well, the door has been open for 2 years haha. Here’s a list of all my Metallica reactions. We will see about your suggestions.
ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu5hs4Ged1MNFPt-JVcx_mqq.html
You should do a reaction to high plains drifter by kirk hammet
How do you still not have Damage Inc. 😭
For something completely different, react to The Rubberbandits, a rap duo from Ireland.
React this one live
i love jasons playing
This Album is a Kirk album.
You should watch the video
React to Atlas rise
Try live version :)
This song always made me think of domestic violence.
He hits the flesh, you hit the ground.
Mouth so full of lies, tend to black you eyes. This one sticks out the most to me. He says he'll change, but the day never comes
Also, I forgot to mention Love is a 4 letter word, but never spoken here
This was Lars snare stage and it sucked I wanted to steel all the man's snare drims
Second
I thought it was about domestic violence.
Bro, do you not get the clear message of abuse in this song,
It's about Joe Bidens political career
Metallica lost it.....they need to stop playing before this gets too embarressing
