- Tonight we had NorthernEar regulars Metallica on the channel and we listened to their song Wherever I May Roam! Honestly, this is one of my favourite Metallica songs. I thought everything about it was fantastic!
I think this is the first song ive heard off the Black Album, so let me know more about the album. Is it up there as one of their best?

This is literally the song that made metal mainstream back in 1991, and that isn't overstatement. The main hit from the album was enter sandman with roam and nothing else matters being the reinforcement to make people realise that this breakout album was serious business from a serious band and not a one hit wonder. It got thrashed on pop radio so hard that literally no one missed it and it became a party standard... even the pop / EDM guys wore it out. Nirvana had made dirty grunge rock mainstream months before then Metallica came along and blew it out of the park with technically perfect driving grooves and made people really pay attention to metal. Metal went mainstream and it became acceptable to mosh. Cool kids wore Metallica shirts. It was a magical time.
It was....😔🥺
My Friend of Misery should be next! My favorite from the Black Album.
James vocals are top notch on his song. This is my favorite Metallica song. Love the guitar solo also.
🤘🔥12 string bass intro - Mr. Jason Newsted🔥🤘
🤘❤🇨🇦
The black album gets an unfair amount of hate, but it was just epic when it came out. And last I heard still sells copies around the world. Despite what anyone says, it was a pretty incredible record. Good pick.
It was good. I think it was the last of their truly greats.
@@colmhain their decline definitely followed. Although I did like a lot off of load and reload. Their last album kicked ass though!
I read some time ago that still sells about 1M per year
5-6k units per week
Of Wolf And Man and Nothing Else Matters are on this album
Their drums almost sounds as good as the ones on St. Anger, don't they?
@@jaymeister4850 St. Anger is just slightly better
One of my favourites from the Black Album. The musicality in it is awesome. Love the channel, in these times where I can't get together with friends and listen to music, well, this sort of feels like that, and you're clearly an intelligent and insightful bloke. I enjoyed listening with you.
Thanks! I really appreciate that! 👍
I loved it! This intro is so powerful, it gives us an impression that we are far from home, maybe in a desert or something like that and is really a metaphor for how the most important is to be well with yourself regardless of the place you are.
Black album gets a lot of hate by narrow-headed fans. Metallica wanted a change, a shift, instead of staying stuck at the same place. Great heavy album!
This album was when Metallica decided to become more commercial, which made a lot of fans mad (metal fans are fickle). But it's also when they embraced the weighty feel of slower grooves, and higher production value. "Sad But True" probably embodies that more than any other song. It's really slow and heavy and groovy, and has the feel of dragging along a massive piece of machinery by brute muscle force. Unfortunately, this album also marks the end of the speed and thrash that made Metallica, which is why it made a lot of fans upset.
Unfortunately you are right, but you also have to understand that they did not know the path that Cliff took them until the tragedy happened, remember that when Cliff was in the band, he wanted and had the vision to take them to a more experimental Thrash. On a musical level, which was the combination of classical music with Thrash, a clear example was "Orion", remember that Cliff in his childhood years always instilled the bass with instrumentation, composition and classical music. It would have been great if he was still alive, so that he could show both the public and the members, the trajectory he had planned for the future, he always refused to market, that is why his three classic albums were never uploaded with a video clip, until passed away. It came when Hetfield, Ulrich and Hammett decided an all or nothing to generate more public with their video clips, something more commercial but without breaking the scheme and essence of metal (which changed from thrash to Hard Rock and from Heavy to Ne Metal), nor tragic changes so amazing from what they were before. I'm still very thoughtful about: How would cliff have been, would he have changed the cards on the table? (I mean his musical career and what his vision was for him in the future)
I'm aware of all of that, and am not disputing any of it.
Great reactions again, probably the best Metallica song for me.
Back here for another re-watch. Because why not?
"And the road becomes my bride, I have stripped of all but pride, so in her I do confide..."
Says it all really.
Man you really GOTTA do Halo on Fire (official music video or S&M2 performance), great song
Kirk's bend when everyone drops out and then bends again when they drop back in again is sexual tbh
I remember, when I was 20 (fall 1991), on a whim, I hitch-hiked from Chelsea, Alabama to Austin, Texas, singing this song (and others to be sure, because it took 52 hours) along the way. It was an amazing experience.
I freaking love the Black album.
Sad but true great riffs
Wherever I May Roam is my favorite from the Black Album! METALLICA!!! \m/
I also really like the album that this track is from (what fans have dubbed: the "Black Album")! I like Metallica's early stuff too (my favorite album is Ride the Lightning), but there's no denying that this album is great. Sure, it is not quite as thrashy as the earlier albums, but so what? It still sounds like Metallica and it sounds great! I also love the album that came after this one, Load. The band departed even further from their thrash sound, but it's fine. Hell, if I'd been playing the same songs for nearly 20 years, I'd want to change it up too!
I love all of Metallicas Albums. Truly do. But the Black Album has to be either my favorite or second favorite after Load/ReLoad (gonna classify that as one album despite it being two). The songs are just amazing, groovy, and heavy. Holier than Thou is probably my favorite off this album, along with Don't Tread on Me.
It doesn't just sound like it, it is a sitar at the beginning. They used a variety of instruments on that album for some color. That striking sound on the one of the main riff and in the verse is a 12-string bass.
I think you should definitely check out Bleeding me and Outlaw torn. Both from the more "different" era of the band.
React to Unforgiven trilogy
The third is vastly underappreciated in my opinion. I'll never understand why it gets virtually no attention. Just a great song.
@@insufferablethrashelitist9305 whole death magnetic is unappreciated. 4th fav album by them after ajfa, mop and rtl
Good ear to pick out the harmonic minor! This song is pretty much the only Metallica song that's in the Phrygian (dominant) mode, the middle of which is the same as a harmonic minor scale. It's always been one of my top 5 Metallica songs purely because even though it's still very 'Metallica' it's also one of their more creative songs musically.
This is one of my favorites. Great for a bust-outta-the-lockdowns party!!!
An excellent song off an excellent album! Of Wolf And Man is a great one too from that album, and My Friend Of Misery.
You need to watch ‘Whiskey in the jar’ from there concert at Slane Castle - Meath, Ireland June 2019. From Australia 🇦🇺🤘
Enjoyed your reaction. Check out Metallica’s Atlas Rise! there’s a harmony there that pierces through your heart.
The intro is James Hetfield playing the sitar and Lars Ulrich playing some random percussion. There's also hidden 12-string bass guitar playing by Jason Newsted (doing some background noises/hooks)
I saw James on some behind the music type of show where he said they used a piano string for that big bass note in the intro.
12-string bass isn’t really hidden. The very first note of this song is just the open E string(s) of a 12-string bass
Def a more mainstream sound with this album. This is where Metallica took the turn to being both loved and hated. Personally, I love this album. This song is prob my 2nd favorite off this album next to Unforgiven. Another song you need to check out is Sad But True. It’s a really heavy riff. I believe you’ve listened to Of Wolf And Man, but I could be mistaken. Of course the big mainstream hits were Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters. I think a huge underrated song off this album is My Friend of Misery. Either way, I’m super happy to see you liked this song. Great analysis of the details! Thumbs up brother!
More metallll 👍👍👍
This is one of my faves too, glad to see you enjoyed it! I see that you're digging Metallica, so you might wanna check out Testament or maybe Annihilator (first two albums especially) if you haven't yet
This has always been a favorite of mine as well.
The Bikers Code
Please react to the album Temple of Shadows. It’s from a band called Angra...
Since you’re moving more towards metal reactions, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you listen to Gods of Wrath by Metal Church. I think you will greatly enjoy David Wayne’s subtle, yet powerful fucking voice
Tommy you have to do My Friend of Misery
Metallica - So What ( live cunning stunt)
So many haters of this album due to the major change and departure in their style, but for me there's not a bad track. 🤘🏽🔥
Great reaction mate:) try ride the lightning, it’s one of the best. Keep up with the good job
Let's goooooo🤘🤘🤘🤘👊👊👊👊
I can see that you started to headbangs slowly.. glad to see now you enjoy metal music :)
Can you please do Insomnium - While we sleep? Thanks!
Think of it, Lucifer is speaking 😉
That's what im talking about!
Indeed a good song the live version in the AMAs 93 is excellent if you're interested.. your next one should be Dyers Eve of And Justice For All album.
Amazing reaction!! You keep getting better and better with 'Tallica! I highly recommend the San Diego 1992 Live Version, it's something else....specially the end. Keep them coming!
🤘🔥🤘
🤘❤🇨🇦
I suggest through the never or battery I don’t know if you did battery yet or not
Fuckin Battery
Lol yess
Do you like it?
Song suggestions or on patreon
@@colehurst4164 Hell yes!
Check out some Rammstein and Ghost
New suscriber!, greetings from Argentina!
Welp i guess i have to learn it now
simp
A great song. One of my favourites. You have a great ear and great insight 👍
Kottonmouth Kings outkast
Need some Opeth & Gojira here.
I know you're enjoying down the rabbit hole with Rush. Thought you'd enjoy something from 75, their second album Fly By Night. The songs called anthem. They look so young and equipment isn't so overwhelming yet.

If you appreciate metallica, maiden, rush your next stop should be Tool
Schism 🤘
Have you listened Sad but True?
I haven’t!
@@ThomasJ_Music it's a banger, you can't skip it
This might be the best song from the Black Album. The album isn’t bad, but the whole kick-snare drumming through the whole album gets a bit boring at one point.
I agree but through the never and don’t tread on me are some of my favorites also with wherever I may roam holier than thou is another one that has a good drumming
Also I believe master of puppets is their best album along with kill em all and ride the lightning
I agree with Through the Never though. Love that one.
Sir, have you been living under a rock?
😂 I think so. I’m actually appalled at myself that I’m only just hearing stuff like this
I don't understand why the black album got so much shit. Bunch of metal elitists, if you ask me. I think it's a great album!
It's because the 'hidden gem' of a band that many people knew from things like tape swapping had suddenly become 'mainstream'. It's a really bizarre bit of self-consciousness that people get pissy when other people start liking the same stuff as them. The album itself is different than what came before for sure, but a master-class in its own right imo.
@@Jaymzmiller Hmm. I see. I still don't totally understand, but I respect people's opinions. 👍
