#Metallica #Load
This piece resonates big time.
Anger. Hatred. Demons. Self destruction.
This song is a very indepth psychological statement of truth.
I remember reading somewhere that its a song about cancer and what it does to people. But I agree with you that it can be interpreted as meaning so many other things.
I've read this and I kind of felt it like that. It's about his alcohol addiction and what it does to him and everything around him. I think he is sober for quite some time, like at least 7-10 years. And it's his wife that saved him.
But, yeah. Just googled it now. It's about his mom's cancer and the aftermath.
Very powerful song about James' mother's battle with cancer and her refusal to take the treatment due to her fundamentalist beliefs. You can hear James' sadness and frustration combined in this song. The video shows his blame of religion for his mother's death
Many Metallica songs remind me of my past battles, I've suffered from dysthymic depression from 18 to 29.
This song is flawless.
This album is criminally underrated.
We take Metallica for granted.
Yup, you just don't know what you've got until it's gone.
@@MorbidCrow666 well said
It's a hard rock/alternative album by a band that branded itself a metal band for their whole career.

@@johnp82 Says who ?
I don't care what anyone says, this song is a masterpiece. There's so much raw emotion in it.
This whole album is one of the greatest ever!
One of my favorites!
Yes, I agree. Its an amazing song. I think there are a few songs on Load and Re-Load that are gems. Very cool video too. Tool vibes with some grunge influence but still solidly Metallica. I dont think Metallica sold out. I think times just changed and they grew up. In fact, I wish people would have just allowed them to evolve. it seems like theyve spent the back half of their careers trying to "return to their roots" and there music has felt very uninspired since the Load era. if fans would have just allowed them to change and grow, I think we would have gotten much better music, long term.
Fair enough, since most people don't care about what you say.
it's the perfect workout song for heartbreak. "tear me open, make u gone"
Some people say that this is their worst era, but I actually like this style of Metallica a lot. The edgy make up and alternative metal esque sound has to be my favorite style of Metallica. It seems to have its own niche
It's always been a good record, it's just not a good Metallica record who at the time had branded themselves as a heavy/thrash metal band where at this record and reload were much more hard/alternative rock
This album is more like Southern rock
I loved Metallica since age 8 and I was 13 when this came out I carried this album in my baptist school and sketched James Hetfield during class I'm gay but man for a dude he's yummy here
In my experience only over-the-hill elderly people and hipster douchebags hate this era of Metallica.
The "worst era" is really just one or two albums, if anything, and not this one.
Yes, it was a bit of a shift in style compared to their 80's stuff, but being able to play more than one style of music is not a flaw.
I was a child in the 90's, and a kid on my hockey team who would bring a boombox and play the Black Album in the locker room to psych up before games is basically why I ever became interested in the entire metal genre. I love 90's Metallica.
I've always been more of a hard rock fan than a metal fan. So even though Metallica diehards look down on this era, it's much more in line with the music genre I prefer.
People are so afraid of change, this era Metallica has some phenomenal shit.
The truth is that they created many ways to play metal, they opened doors and took metal in another level...
I was 15 when the Load album was released. This was the first Metallica album I bought and I LOVED it. Imagine how blown away I was when I discovered the masterpiece album known as Master of Puppets. I’ve been a huge Metallica fan ever since. 24 years going strong
I was 20 and a friend of mine gave me Kill Em All. First time I didnt understand what was happening, I thought that it was recorded at another tape speed. 😄
Than I decided that I dont like this kind of music.
29 years after... I cant have a good day if I dont listen to Metallica. 🤪
@@auranaught absolutely agree
Yeah, but this isn't one of them.
I remember sneaking out of bed as a kid to watch MTV, hoping to hear this song before I got grounded. Worth it.
I got my arse kicked all over my bedroom for listening to this..I understand
So you sort of listened to this song Until «*You*» slept?
@@verzangel2106 ahahahahahahahahahahahahah. that was funny ngl
Of course it was.. Luckily I had a kickass older sister that bought the album lol..
Haha, same here.. almost... 😌
The song is amazing but the video clip is out of this world. It’s like a live version of Hieronymus Bosch paintings. Just amazing.
Bravo !
Those paintings are spectacular pieces of art!
Eh… pretty typical for the time really. Lotta similar vids in the 90s
you are very right

LYRICS:
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays, now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps (until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed, don't want it
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps
I don't want it
I don't want it, want it, want it
Want it, want it, no
So tear me open but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me 'til I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps

@@vitorgalati7121Metallica Load 1996
The lyrics, the music, the arrangement. Everything is spot on here. Maybe the best song in this era, and truly a Metallica classic.
I am just turning 40 and MetallicA has been a part of my entire life. This album came out at a time I was going through difficult shit in my teen years. These guys were there when no one else was....
Same age.
Lol those 90’s were powerful years.
A decade that really sticks out.
Im 40 too this year u right. Metallica is growing emotionaly with me ...
Just turned 43 and yeah, same...
Right now I'm in my teen years and I agree totally, they are helping me to to trougth my problems a lot
44 and MetallicA rulz
Man this is so 90s! The grunge undertones, the weird surrealism of the music video and dark lyrics. I fucking love this song
They have MUCH BETTER THAN THIS....
@@dimitrakapa4887 thank you for your opinion.
The music video is weird but the song is dark man
@@Takaichi666- The video is based in Hieronymus Bosch's Triptych of The Garden of Earthly Delights, a Dutch painter who lived at 15th - 16th century.
Damn sometimes I sure do miss the 90s!
Just got redirected from Metallica's Facebook page. Nice song, which is 28 years old today.
And one of the best Metallica’s song. Very deep.
Metallica is one of the best heavy metal bands ever I grew up listening to Metallica this one of my most favorite songs
Same here
Metallica is Trash Metal band.
@@nelitolio i hope u meant thrash-
@@nelitolio I think you mean ✨Thrash✨
This is neither heavy metal or thrash metal tho 😂
God I am so grateful for _"SeLLoUt"_ Metallica. These are masterpieces of tracks.
I notice that a lot of the "old" fans tapped out as soon as James found his voice, quite literally, and the band got a bit more serious about this business. Fascinating, really.
I’d rather them just stick to the thrash and heavy era stuff
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 I agree. But I am also glad they went through this phase. They are still thrashers by nature. Everyone knows that Spit out the Bone is the hardest they've queefed for Metallica since Dyers Eve.
@@reanimated The irony is people called them sellouts basically for finding success and then making the music they were passionate for.
@@reanimated more serious? I would definitely argue what more serious means though. Just cause they were rougher and faster in the first albums it doesnt mean those are less meaningful or deep
This album is actually crazily underrated and this song is a masterpiece.
It's a great album however I would rank this song as one of the worst on the album... it's very simplistic and highly radio friendly. Bleeding Me is more of a masterpiece.
Glitch Happy Gaming ❤️❤️
The House That Jack Built is the total dark horse of the album for me. Wish they would play it live.
@@houseovragnar1528 I don't think they will ever play that song live. A lot of the song is digitally edited together so playing it live would be extremely difficult, some parts are literally impossible to play live because you would need 4+ guitars, and they would need a talk box and other special equipment. It would be a huge pain in the ass for them to play it now.
@@ScorpionXII Wow do you even know what the song is about. Its about James Hatfield mom having cancer and passing away from it. Why don't you actually listen to the lyrics and you would know my mom had cancer and doesn't anymore but it could come back this song means alot to me but apparently you really don't listen to music!
That vocal at 2:24 tho... since first time i listened to back in 96, still gets me the same. Real pure talent, i got nothing but repect for james.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😮😮
THIS 😮. This song brought me thru the deepest depression of betrayal and darkness from 2013-2017. I cannot thank Metallica and God enough for being my savior!! They are the meaning and king of mental and metal. I only mean that in the best sense of course.

Thanks! 😊❤
What's the meaning?
And the *hate* still shapes me *
Such a wicked fucking tune. The lyrics are so real. I’m sure many of us fight the battles this song speaks to
Between the lyrics and the symbolism everything is told in this music video.
I love how stricking the imagery was in music videos back in the 90's. Like the videos itself were simple but there were so many great concepts and they were always doing different things with the camera to keep your brain engaged and fishing for all the concepts and references. They don't make music videos like this anymore.
Metallica Load 1996
1996
This video is heavily -ripped off of- inspired by the “Heart Shaped Box” video…
@@dewilew2137 Yees
This applies to videos up until 2001-2003. Since then music videos just aren't as good even if done with hundreds of millions of dollars budget.
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Same here!
Love this song I wasn’t alive until 97 lol
But I get what you mean beautifully described
James lost his mum in 1978, and it took him 18 years to get over it. Such a tremendous song!
Are you sure it wasn't 16 or 18??? Get the f*** out of here already
@@glenngarman2871 It was 17 years, because Load was released in 1996. What's your issue??

here we have a good example of a person who knows the order of Metallica albums (irony)👍
I feel like this was Metallica’s take on grunge or something and I really love it. Sometimes the “best” albums aren’t what everyone likes 😊
THIS! this is the song that started my infatuation, my love, my undying, never-ending pure love for this band, not only did this get me into Metallica and music in general, it's what got me into playing the drums, exploring my musical side and even when no one in my family cared for music, I blasted this song louder and hope i never stop falling down the Metallica rabbit hole.......long live Metallica
James hetfield is the strongest singer I've ever seen, even after his mother and sister passed away from cancer, he still pulled through, then even after countless drugs and drink, he still got through it all. Continued to do what he's doing. This teaches us no matter how bad life gets there will be better times so never give up. Edit: and now thanks to a reply, I was informed he's now getting a divorce :(
The only thing I
Everybody's mom die.
Perhaps he wasnt interested in
@@michaelcordero5588 yes, but not everyone's mother dies from rejecting treatment for a benign form of cancer due to her crazy religious beliefs when the child is just sixteen years old.
Alcoholic
This song is a must in my Metallica repertoires. "Load" is really a dark album if you pay attention. Concept, video and sound was great on many songs on this album.
trash. sorry. i dont care what spritual darkness mumbo jumbo load fans pretend to have. I recall lars saying 'people accuse of of seling out, yeah we sold out concerts" a biyich thing to say then and still holds up now.

This is one of their best songs. Period.
Coming from an 80's thrash fan
Love D.R.I my guy. And I agree
I aboslutely love this song. It is soooo good and also its a blast to play on guitar. A lot of people give this album crap, but it has, in my opinion, some of the best songs. Until it sleeps, aint my bitch, the house that jack built (the solo with the talk box is awesome) BLEEDING ME changed the way I look at guitar solos. wasting my hate and The Outlaw Torn. LOVE THIS ALBUM! LOVE THIS BAND!

This is what we missed with Metallica now. The backing vocals of Jason Newsted

@@ZoranLjubicic-po9pg don’t worry there’s still so many young metal heads out there
The more I listen and re-listen to Load and Reload - the more I like them. They keep speaking to me.
Troll me, but this is my favorite Metallica song.
This is the truest representation in my mind of severe mental health issues . I'm going thru 1 of the worst periods in my life mentally and every word he sings describes my struggle perfectly . Thank you for making a song I can relate to in my darkest times
That’s the thing I love so much about music. Metallica made a wonderful song that people can connect to, and relate to its lyrics. I keep seeing people suggesting the song is about cancer, but I also see others connecting it to abuse, addiction, depression, PTSD, and so much worse. It really breaks my heart knowing so many of us here are in a troubling time, but we can all get through this. My depression is very bad, but I’m sure I’ll get better one day. I hope you recover perfectly fine and well brother.
Life sucks sometimes bro hopefully the dark times become not dark lol not good at helping ppl sooo 👍🏻
@@cmthegoat_ I’m only good at helping people because of my own experiences. But you’ll get “better” at talking about stuff like that soon. I’m sure you’re a good and compassionate person at heart.
@@joshuakurtz7159 and you have mine too.
Thankyou everyone who left a positive comment . My love and support go out to u . Message me back to let me know how u are also . This song can relate to cancer but it jus hit the right notes in regards to my mental health so as long as it reaches someone it doesn't matter wot the subject I guess .
This is probably my favorite song of theirs. The vocals are haunting. The lyrics are chilling. It's perfect.
Totally agree with you!!
A song that speaks in my soul...fears, tears and loneliness..one of the best of Metallica.
Recently met a guy who was a strong christian, he read some verses of bible for me and talked about Adam . Since then this music video became more meaningful to me and lyrics.
I love how James explain the feelings in this song.
Ugh....The song is about James' mother battling cancer. Fuck off with that religious bullshit.
@@NeutronSplitter don't need to be an asshole about it
If anyone has ever been diagnosed with depression, I'm sure could easily relate. What an amazing way to express it.
This song is about cancer

@@fantawi7999 well i see depression in it too... everybody see there his demons
Lol as if you need to be diagnosed with depression to appreciate this song, I'm pretty sure everyone's experienced something ungodly and dark that's made them feel this song
Thats the thing about metallica we can relate
I suffer from chronic depression, anxiety and chronic pain from fibromyalgia. This song and your albums got me through many hard moments, many nights when one of my illnesses wouldnt let me sleep, where I wanted to die. Thank you for your music!

I hope this song helped you get over your button addiction too.

I have had anxiety for some time..I am too emotional, too emphatic..this song saves each time I feel down...
there's always something worth living for in Jesus. He is how I get through my anxiety issues when the drugs won't work.
James 1:5
I remember when this was first released. I don't think it's what everybody expected especially the follow up to the black album. I think it's still a masterpiece always was and always will be
It's about cancer
@LLcoolDel James's mother having cancer, right?
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Errday
This song means a lot to me. I was diagnosed with MS in 1991 (was 18 years old) and the words of this song seem to resonate with the way the MS affects me.
It's a good song.
I like Metallica and got to see them live in 1993 (Milton Keynes Bowl).
sorry to hear you got microsoft bro
@@nsh4741 and sensitive people like you who can’t understand a joke to lighten the mood
you'll be happy to hear that the Milton Keynes 1993 show is available to watch here on UA-cam
How is the MS affecting you today? I know you're not well, but is it somewhat manageble?
How are you today?
Load is one of the most under-rated album in music history. Sleeps, Torn, King and 2x4 are just fucking great songs.
tibic mama said and ronnie kick serious ass too
Sorry but they are terrible fucking albums.They may be decent enough albums had a radio friendly rock band released them for that target audience but for their massive fan base it's as bad as it gets.
Resident Weazel don't fucking listen to them pal! negative comments fuck off!
Resident Weazel u are a very ignorant Metallica fan you don't even count as a fan stop hating
Load and Reload were the 2 albums that attracted me to the band. Id heard only Enter Sandman before those 2 albums and after those 2 albums, I was completely drawn to the band. Now I cant get enough of all Metallica
Short list for my favorite song ever. Criminally underrated.
This one breaks my heart everytime.
Metallica - Until It Sleeps
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll Tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps
I don't want it, no
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'til clean!
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Thanks:)
Thanks bro.

i wanted to sing this song now, thanks for lyrics man!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hot take:Metallica adopted a more mainstream sound and songwriting method to become a gateway band into metal. And a massive portion of their fans and metal heads in general went down exactly this route. You can hate them for their change in direction, but their sound and style for Black/Load/Reload was a big reason why metal had such a massive resurgence in the 2000’s on. Thanks Metallica👌🏻
This song is undeniably a metal anthem in my book, easily one of the most somber pieces I've heard from the genre. Every piece of the song is damn near perfect from the bass and drums to the vocals. If people have a problem with different approaches to art then those people truly don't appreciate art
I hate most of those albums, but I aplreciate where they come from and what it is
I disagree..bands like Fear Factory, Machine Head, Type O Negative, Slipknot and Pantera is why metal made a big resurgence in the 2000's
RIGHT ON!
@@redfirefox3568 I agree with you. Metallica was KILLING heavy music by moving to alt-rock. They weren't breaking any new ground. You would be a fucking moron to think that. They were simply following the trends because they were afraid they would no longer be relevant with their 80's thrash sound. The ones keeping heavy music alive were the ones RedFox listed, along with bands that didn't weaken their sound, like Testament and Slayer
It's one of my favourite songs ever. Thanks metallica
These lyrics are forever in my soul...thank you Metallica for blessing us with them❤ my favorite song infinitely ❤
What's the meaning?
@@lydia_dglk Heroin addiction, not just those afflicted with the disease but those of us watching it torture our loved ones to death. James made it out but that addiction will ride you brutally hard.....until it sleeps....this is my humble opinion but everyone; has their own personal meaning and everyone is right in how they feel.
Literally one of their best songs
Top 2, imo

@@damewanpli2152 Yes, positive.
Mine too!!! And nothing else matters.
This era was pure art for Metallica, so bad that fans didn't support them back then
BiLL I remember when it was only 25 $. To see them play 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
The problem it's not the music compositions they do. It's because their new albums have lost their origin - their soul. It's not the same.
Nah, this just didn't sound like a Metallica tune. They were pandering to the grunge scene when they should have went full throttle.
The original Bob Dylan fans were enraged when he ditched his acoustic guitar and changed things up. He went on to be one of, if not the biggest recording artist in music history. The original Metallica fans were mad when Metallica "sold out" on albums like the black album and Load, etc. These albums, along with reload, sold over 30 million copies world wide! Meanwhile for the most part Metallica has been back to there thrashing roots on Death Magnetic and Hardwired. It`s ALL great people. Just enjoy the "ride!"
Probably what drove people back was the Rockstar attitude they took, it wasn't just the music and the look. Just looking to the live shit video BTS, the Some kind of, monster movie and the, current interviews, Metallica has changed massively as people.
I remember when I was a kid, I got really into Metallica, got all their records, and then for the longest time they didn’t release anything new. And then this came out, and it was like insane. This track used to play on MTV and MTV2 like every day & all day. It was so good! One of my favorite Metallica songs of all time.
Load and ReLoad are Metallica's most underrated albums. I can't fathom how some fans say they're _bad,_ just because the sound evolved from their earlier stuff. If you don't like this, you have no right to call yourself a metalhead.
That bass at the end is glorious.
The production on this album and re-load is SO good, the lyrics are so much more intimate and honest, hetfield was at his peak as a singer, he could do anything he wanted with his voice, the sound helped them keep the band fresh and not stagnant, the look was sleek and hot. i love this era of metallica.
Wow.
I wish i heard stuff like that growing up when this came out.
😄👍
Gimmie a break. This song was already stale on the day of release. Too much nirvana.
@@citoante nirvana is never too much
Its like a sequel to Depeche Modes "Walking in my Shoes" ... same actors, same look and feel ... love it.
Absolutely masterpiece musically and visually. To me, it's a depiction of the sin nature and spirit of temptation that lives inside all of us
This song is waaaaaaay underrated!
SupperMassive : as is the album
@Rat_kinG He means that this album is least known that the great ones, like BLACK ALBUM or M.O. P for example .
Rat_kinG being more popular and well-known makes it lean towards being over-rated? Don’t make any sense, at all.
no offense, but have you read what some people say in the comments on these song, I swear most of them are haters, not me though I love these albums
@@Bearwindafloofboi It isn't because the song is bad. It is because the album was the main change from thrash to southern hard rock. On top of that they also completely changed their imagery to have shorter hair, large piercings and eye liner basically making them look like some old gay dudes trying to be hip and follow the trends. It was like opening up a box of cocoa puffs, and it all looked like apple jacks and tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. It is an understatement to say that it pissed a large portion of their core fan base who were able to still connect with the black album even though it pushed in to arena pop rock territory, but Load was the last straw. It is not something you are going to really understand if your first experiences with their music were in the 90's.
This song is really hauntingly beautiful, so sad it's also very underrated. I really like James' vocals here, they are very melodic and beautiful and also the bass and guitar sound great. This looks a lot more artistic than what they have done previously and i really enjoy it.
You can tell how grunge/alt rock changed everything for everybody, this song and video seem to closely mirror "Heart Shaped Box"
when you’ve been thru some shit you can appreciate this masterpiece even more. every lyric is so powerful
In 96 I was in 6th grade and I saw this video and I thought it was great...so I asked my older brother...hey have you heard of a band called Metallica? I saw this video from an album called Load?. His blank stare at me, and said, you have a lot to learn. Next day he showed me the Master of Puppets album...I didn't know what to say when I heard Battery...been a fan ever since, so technically this video brought me to get into Metallica. True story!
Good enough for me.
+leadriff126 Same here. I was 8 years old and just starting to appreciate music. My older cousin showed me more of the "real" Metallica, and I've been a cool kid ever since.
+R JN define "real"
+famaplay Between Kill 'Em All and ...And Justice for All and some of the Black Album.
+leadriff126 "His blank stare at me, and said, you have a lot to learn" AHAHAHAHA... Good brother.
I can't get bored of this song, just perfect. Masterpiece
Mis respetos para banda Metallica como siempre me levantan el ánimo gracias

love this song. its about getting rid of the parts of yourself that you don't like. like a
part of yourself that you hate and you are just trying to purge yourself of. until it sleeps.
"Load" is my favorite Metallica album, and I don't give a shit what you think.

Load is amazing n stuff but Kill em all is my favorite
Brother same here
I've always loved Metallica, but over the years, my loyalty has swung to other groups, but now I realize James, Kirk, Lars & Jason are so deeply embedded in my heart, NO band could ever replace them. I listen to their '80s stuff & it brings me back to my teens when I 1st saw them at Monsters of Rock in Foxboro. They will ALWAYS be my 1st love!!! Rock on Metallica!!!!
You brought up the term "Monsters of Rock", & it reminded me of the Monsters of Rock scenario from 1988. The groups that played were The Scorpions, Kingdom Come, Dokken, Van Halen, and Metallica.
Fun fact:From what I heard, Dokken literally got booed off of the stage! Apparently, their "Musical selections", song-wise, made people so furious, that, before everything was said and done, Dokken walked off the stage...and I don't think they ever toured with the four other Bands that were on this particular tour.
At that point in time, there were definitely a lot of problems between George Lynch, the Guitarist, and Don Dokken, the Vocalist. From what I understand, Don Dokken can be a real Primadonna. Who needs to work with somebody that's like that?
Anyway-Dokken did one more album in the late 1980s, 1988, to be exact, called Beast From The East...but it didn't sell that well, garnering only Gold, in terms of Album Sales. (Gold is between 500,000-999,999 Album Units Sold). It was the beginning of the end for Dokken. By 1990, George Lynch was out of Dokken, and formed his own Band, Lynch Mob. That didn't do very well for George, though.....
& the rest, is History......
@@ronaldshank7589 That is EXACTLY the Monsters of Rock I am referring to. Yhis was about the time that Sammy Hagar had replaced David Lee Roth. So in Foxboro MA, people jammed to the other's music (I don't recall a problem with Dokken). It was SO hot that day, security brought out fire hoses & were spraying people down. I was so close to the front, James Hetfield head banged & sweated on me!!!!!! My 1st heavy metal moment. However, when Van "Hagar" came out to take the stage, people started leaving in droves in protest. It was GREAT!! That, too, was in 1988. Good times, incredible memories. Thanks for the reply, it was my 1st ever on UA-cam. Keep rockin'!!
I'm with and agree100%! There is no one like these guys they get you deep and always will no matter my age. I grew up with these bands and will always have a deep place my soul when hearing them. The emotions and memories they bring. Metallica always!
It's weird you talk in terms of loyalty as if you joined a cult. See beyond this dysfunction, let these words inspire wisdom and not servitude. Do not be bound by these false prophets, see them for who they are. Don't you understand, don't you have eyes to see and ears to hear? Be free of this vampiric curse.
Load is in my top five favourite Metallica albums. This departure from thrash to experiment with more heavy metal, giving off a lot of Undertow vibes from the band Tool
Highly, highly, HIGHLY underrated. Everyone sounds amazing, and I’m so happy they did this album
이 앨범이 10여년만에 나왔을때 사람들의 혹독했던 평가를 기억합니다.
하지만 이 앨범은 메탈리카 앨범중에서도 손꼽히는 명반이라고 생각합니다. 재평가되길 바랍니다.
1. It was released in 1996
2. People are already re-evaluating Load
James: I'm a crazy guy trapped in thorns
Kirk: I'm put on a cross
Lars: I wear a feathery scarf and eyeliner
Jason: What about me?
James: See that dirt and mud that looks like pudding?
Jason: Yeah?
James: Go play in it
What does kirks cross say?
nice
Ha!
Lol
Johnny Wheels yes but James sings about washing off the dirt meaning that even if you are correct he is trying to rid the devil from his life not summon him and it shows them kicking away the devils and trying to kill them meaning they are portrayed as evil and god as a good being so it actually has a holy meaning
The most artistic video of METALLICA I think
Yes and they were proud of it, too bad journalists and music elitists were spewing out bs against this
George Six They tried to copy nirvana
@@MrLump lol shhhh
@@MrLump Did I miss a Nirvana video where they use Bosch paintings?
This is emo AF. Although the song on it's own is decent
First contact as a noob with their sound cuz it was forbidden music in my house but once I got my own TV in my room my parents lost control of me, MTV introduced me to Metallica with this vid and I was sold forever.
"Until It Sleeps" was Metallica's only Top 10 hit on the Hot 100, and their first #1 hit on rock radio.
That's what they sold out for.
I didn't know this was an unpopular Metallica song? It was always one of my favs. If people don't like this song it's probably because they are lucky enough not to relate to it ♥
It isn't because the song is bad. It is because the album was the main change from thrash to southern hard rock. On top of that they also completely changed their imagery to have shorter hair, large piercings and eye liner basically making them look like some old gay dudes trying to be hip and follow the trends. It was like opening up a box of cocoa puffs, and it all looked like apple jacks and tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. It is an understatement to say that it pissed a large portion of their core fan base who were able to still connect with the black album even though it pushed in to arena pop rock territory, but Load was the last straw.
This is the only top 10 metallica single so
@@georgewalker81 well, that's the point. For a lot of guys, thrash metal bands are not supposedto have hit singles. I remember that they criticized even the haircuts back in the day. This show how closed mind some metal fans are...
Danielle Watson why? Why am I an idiot for explaining to people why their fans were pissed off back in the day? Am I wrong? Explain... Idiot.
It's not a bad song it's just that the loyal fan base could not come to grips with the change in style at the time. The song is ok but nothing compares to the Metallica albums up until the black Album of the early 90s. I was a loyal fan but I was not too crazy about Load when it first came out. I lost touch after the Reload album
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once, and now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
I don't want it
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
I seriously feel sorry for the people for claim to be Metallica fans but don't enjoy the Load and Reload Era, it's pure true music from their Souls.
Incredible...no words. Never get tired of listening to this level of passion and quality.

Laila Guimarães bllllllllll
Thanks for that mate
Sorry I don't need your lyrics, I know the whole song XD
you addiction sleeps when you put your mind to other things. recovery is a slow process.
@@harmonyferrington4647 try to write your own song!
This album is so completely underrated, thank you gentlemen for expressing things in words that I can not.
This and King Nothing. Suuuuper underrated.
I was 13 yo, in middle school back in 99’. I had a crush on a boy. We were good friends then and he loved Metallica. It sparked my curiosity, so I started to listen to Metallica songs and I fell in love. My crush for that boy eventually faded, but my love for Metallica remained. Been a mega fan ever since 😍❤️🙌🏼
I'm glad after so many years load actually gets the recognition it deserves.......such an underrated album
It is no underrated. Load kept Metallica on top after Black Album helped get them up there.
8 of the 14 songs were top 5 and this album won a bunch of awards.
I believe it was certified triple platinum a few years ago.
Reload is underrated having to follow this monster
@@tompatchak8706 i think critics were overly harsh on it, like usual with when they talked about metallica, but the sales dont lie
@@beboid exactly
4:28 I love the King Nothing intro at the end
I didnt notice this time, and im going to listen to it now. ty!!
90's music-videos are pure art.
Uncanny, intriguing and very symbolic, this one is no exception. I do also like the reference to Hieronymus Bosch
Samuel Bayer and Metallica, together for one the Best song of the 90-s is a bless!
Load is a masterpiece. It's not fast, not entirely thrash, but it's evolution, different, is genius.
I discovered Metallica that time when I was 11 yo and fell in love
Same and the crazy thing is my grandma bought me the cassette so this always will hold a special place in my heart. She passed in 08 after Christmas.
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Encarna Vázquez Same brother except I was 9 and it took u til I was 12 to actually start to get into it but once you start listening to Metallica I mean every other genre of music sucks I mean it soils all other genres and to be honest I can live with that bc this is genius every fucking song
@@peter2213 i'm not a brother, I'm a sister xD (Spain has unnusual names :P)
No, its no masterpiece. But it's inperfections make it badass
You can really feel the pain this song transmit, the lyrics combined with the depressive tone of the bass and guitar is really effective, it feels like suddenly razor edges are forming on my throat
ESPECIALLY when James screams I DONT WANT IT WANT IT NOUOUOUU
still alive?
I feel for the lords love in this song
Betooie Torres I feel bad for my man Risotto
:(
Makes me get a stabbing pain in my throat, like a pair of scissors.
F*** it, I'll say it, Load is my favorite Metallica album.
Everything about this is amazing, and the nostalgia is insane, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Praying for you James!! The METALLICA FAMILY loves you!!!
I dont care what anyone says. LOAD is one of the best albums ever made, so many good songs.
Lenn my its my favorite from Metallica
Load and Reload are some of their best works, people only hate it because the band cut their hair
@@lous2187 Load and Reload were quite successful albums. And very influential to many musicians, not just in metal. There were will always be nagging old widows complaining, when something changes. It's part of the fun.
It's not bad, but it doesn't hold up against master pieces like ...And Justice For All, Master Of Puppets and Ride The Lightning
@@JustThinkAboutIt2681 true, but there's not 1 bad song on there.
James and Metallica are the G.O.A.T!
Me da gusto que alas muevas generaciones les siga gustando el rock especialmente Metallica desde los 80
