I was there and I never thought I'd get emotional and cry at a Metallica but when fade to black came on, and he starting talking about what it was about, I couldn't keep together
I was at this show with my 11 year old son. I wanted to make it up to him that we never stay for run the bases at a pirates game, so I figured being on the field at Metallica would be a nice way to say “hey you’re on the field buddy!” It was his third concert. First time seeing an act as huge as Metallica and first time with this mammoth crowd. I was already emotional getting to share this with him, but when James started talking about this song, I had a hard time not getting a little emotional. Thanks for sharing.
James didn't have to stop and say those words. But he did. And he meant them. I was sat up in the stands for this concert and when the music faded out and James started talking about suicide, I started tearing up. Metallica is one of my favorite bands and they were always a crutch I used whenever I started to feel myself sink down into the darkness. Hearing the words come from James then the music come blasting back in hit me in a way I never felt before.
I remember many days of living in a complete fog. There wasn't such a thing as happiness or light. I remember just thinking how I wish it would all end and I remember the numb feeling of attempting to purposely overdose. I was never good at expressing myself back then and if I tried it seemed that no one had the time.I wish back then that there were people being supportive, understanding, and showing their love and caring. Bless James Hetfield for this message.
I was there and James's comments hit home. I'm in my 40s and its easy for me at least to drift into a space where I need to correct. I loved his comments. I know I'll never talk to James specifically, but there are always people who do care. If your circle doesn't care it's time to find a new circle.
I lost my father like this. He took his own life when he was almost 70 years old. I still feel sorry for myself that I could dissuade Him from this decision with one phone call. Maybe he would be with me. But I didn't. All my fleece world from the moment I found out. I miss him very much. I miss you so much, Dad. I hope we will meet again on the other side !!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Bye...

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me
Can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye
Bye...
The best ever ever!!!
everyone keep any eye on james for the next year
Yes!!
I was literally at the same spot on the buffalo show lol same video on my channel too haha
I’m so upset this is my favorite song and I had plans to go but tickets sold out to quick
It wasn't sold out 😂

@@rodbelding9523 well damn my parents lied to me they usually do when I want something so this is excepted
@@the3idiots36 they might as well have been. prices were insane go easy on your folks
Awesome 👍👍👍 friend TY
I was at that show with my girlfriend it was awesome
Was the crowd loud? In most of the footage I’ve seen I can’t hear them, probably just cause the music is louder.
The crowd was loud but Metallica was louder
you take awesome vids
Thanks man, doing my best given the environment
