They actually received a lot of flack for this song from fans stating it wasn’t metal enough. They used an orchestra and people didn’t like it. I love it.
Yeah for me it was the other way around. I was a Metallica fan, but after their first S&M album I moved on to symphonic metal. Metallica made me realise that metal just needs an orchestra. 🙂
The song is about his girlfriend at the time and how much he missed her when he was on tour. Also Elton John has said several times that it’s the most beautiful song ever written. You can actually listen to Elton John zoom call James on the Howard Stern Show to tell him what he thinks about the song. James gets very emotional about what Elton says.
Didn't know Elton said that.
#40 #Metallica
Do the whole black album do the whole black album!!!
I'm so glad you like this type of music as well.i feel all music is energy and no matter what genre, if it hits you, it hits you!!! If, you actually love music and emotion!!!! Respect brotha 💪🏽💪🏽🔥
Everyone one knows that. And that’s not what Elton John said. Quit passing along false bullshit.
This is one of the best pieces of music ever. It is about the unbreakable connections we form with our loved ones. This is about James and his girlfriend, but the message is universal!
Check out Carolne Baran's version with Post Modern Jukebox. She makes you really feel the lyrics. She's 15 years old, and totally amazing. I highly recommend that you explore this.
I always thought this was about Cliff, especially with James' reluctance to release it.
@@SoulReaver904 the core was James and his girlfriend at the time, but as it is with many of the Metallica songs, it is very applicable to many situations and has multiple meanings... For some of the band this could have been an ode to Cliff too.
I get so tickled listening to you and others who find out that rock and metal weren't just noise and long hair, there were outstanding musicians and lyricists in those groups. Glad to see and hear your delight in discovering them!
Well said, here here 👍👍👍
"Open mind for a different view.
And nothing else matters."
If you enjoyed this one you should do a reaction to "The Unforgiven" (the original).
I would suggest, "Fade to black"
The beauty of this song is it can be about so many things. A relationship with a loved one, a relationship with a higher power, the band's relationship and trust in each other, or to the fans of Metallica that have followed and supported them for years. When this is done live, and you are part of that crowd singing... it is transcendental. It feels like you are part of a family. The band refers to their fans as the "Metallica Family," I have followed them since their beginning and now have 3 generations (me, my sons, and grandkids) going to Met concerts. It's an amazing thing!
I think reacting without the homework is so much more authentic. Also, it allows you to interpret it the way you see it without other influences. Great job BP.
Right On !!✌
Exactly, thank you!
I like that the "homework" he does, happens DURING the video! It's just so fun to see more than just a reaction from someone who's passionate about learning more and more
The collaboration Metallica did with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra was amazing.
This is about when you are in the most beautiful relationship in the world that nobody else understands...but who cares? Nothing else matters. Love it.
Heard it a thousand times still gives me chills every time. So melodic yet heavy.
One great thing about Metallica is all the money they have donated to the charities all around the world.
Another One Of My All Time Favorites instant classic
Hetfield wrote the song initially about missing his girlfriend while they were on the road but was meant to be interpreted however you’d like. I hardly listen to the song as a fan but when I do hear it I really appreciate its beauty and Hetfields writing. His solo is iconic.
Duh🤡🤦♂️
Unforgiven
Whenever I may roam
And
Fade to black
Are just like this. Melodic
The Black Album ( named “Metallica”) released in 1991 catapulted these guys from being the world’s greatest band in rock / metal to the greatest band on the planet in all music….they had a three year long World Tour with this album….some old heads turned away from them ( claiming they sold out) but millions and millions new fans surrendered to them sending Metalica into eternal stardom
This is one of my favorite songs!💜 Beautiful !!!
You gotta watch the clip where Elton John videocalls a show that had Metallica on, starts praising this song.. James Hetfield cant help but shed a couple of tears hearing one of the most respected musicians in the world talk about a personal love song written by him, an introverted orphan who reached world fame while battling alcoholism .. Imagine the cocktail of emotions he must have had writing this ..
That was on Howard Stern when they performed it with Miley Cyrus. Spectacular.
The whole Black album is fire, but my favorite Metallica albums are the S&M albums!! They're backed by The San Francisco Symphony, and it's a whole different experience!! No leaf clover, and Hero of the day are 2 of my favorite songs off of those albums! Definitely worth a peep! And James is 💯 a poet!!
No Leaf Clover! S&M albums are absolute fire!
I agree. I suggested No Leaf Clover awhile back. Hopefully it's on the list.
I love that album!!!
Seen them live in Western Australia back in the 90’s was so good my neck hurt for a wk and ears rang for 2 days
how difficult life can be, but that we should always remember to live our lives and not let those things ruin us. It's about overcoming adversity and realizing that the tragedies of life are just something that happens to everyone, regardless of their position
Wherever i may roam👍👍
This song is off the Black Album( album 5) James wrote this song about a girlfriend but didn’t want to release it.( so you’re on point). Later Lars ( the drummer) insisted on recording it and it became Metallica’s anthem. It resonated their journey and became a tribute to each other. By this time they were on their 3rd bassist ( Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton, Jason Newsted). 2nd guitarist ( Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammett). McGovney left, Mustaine was kicked out but Burton died in a tour bus wreck in Germany. Burton was a musical student but not at Juilliard. The rest were just teenage rockers. Burton’s influence is apparent in a lot of their music( especially their earlier albums).
Cliff Burton died in a car crash in Sweden.
@@schumifannreins295It was a bus in Sweden
Wasn't there a reason or something about Cliff Burton wanting to sleep and argued or won that spot to sleep on the tourbuss? Sad day when he died.
It was in Sweden Cliff died
Greatest rock song ever written !! Way to go James !
There’s a gorgeous live performance of this on Howard Stern with Metallica and MILEY Cyrus! She sings lead and it’s spectacular- she is meant for Metal!
Surprisingly Miley does this well with James.
Really appreciate you going in blind. I worked with a contemporary artist who held the view that people who didn't understand art, shouldn't bother going to art galleries. He wanted everyone to be fully aware of the context, the meaning the artist had intended when creating a piece. It hurt my soul to hear him say that - art of any kind, be it visual or sound is for everyone and can have a profound affect on us. I worked in a museum where an Ikebana floral arrangement moved a middle-aged man to tears. I ended up hugging him as he explained it had suddenly reminded him of a recently deceased friend. So I don't believe limit should be put on interpretations and gut emotional responses to created works. As for this song, I always took the lyrics as being about his solidarity with his band members, being open and vulnerable when singing and through the lyrics he writes, that nothing matters more to him than creating authentic art - that's my interpretation anyhoo. Like you - I enjoy going digging into meanings and intentions later. 🥰 A stunning track, so glad you listened.
I just drew more understanding of the lyrics.
It’s closing ourself to the outside world “never caring for what they say”
You’re living this song with every new review you do!
You are caring, learning understanding that which previously was foreign to you! And the music is angelic at times, yet dark at other times
Better late than never!! It brings my soul so much joy to see you react to music that has inspired me for decades!!!! Binge watching the Metallica reactions❤❤ I love how much you love them. I learn so much about music that I love and I'm reminded why we all love them so much!!
Better late than never brother! BTW, my FIRST concert, turning 16 a month later, saw Metallica. I had bought a special outfit for the occasion. Two YEARS after I saw the concert I wore the SAME outfit for my senior high pictures! I wanted that to be a memory FOREVER!
I've heard this played at a wedding and a funeral, and it was completely appropriate in both settings. The best songs mean something different for each person listening without negating the composer's original intent, and this is one of the greatest. Huge respect to you for opening yourself to new musical experiences. Love the fact that you're prepared to make yourself a little vulnerable by doing them completely blind. Have you thought about exploring some classical pieces? I think it may deepen your appreciation for other musical genres and how musicians go about their craft. Just an idea ✌️
LOVE is what this song means to me. Love for your partner, family, self, or a god, whatever but just LOVE and nothing else matters. Peace Out! ✌️
BP~ I LOVE your reactions!!❣️These are songs that I’ve loved for 30-40 years!🙋♀️🙌
You are very open, sincere & genuine. I’m not sure if you’d even care, but I can ONLY watch reactions with you, alone. I can’t watch when that other guy is with you. He doesn’t take anything seriously and he distracts you from the spirit and key points of the songs.
My little brothers introduced me to Metallica in the lates 80's early 90's. Still to this day I have Metallica Days. I listen to them all day long. I can identify with most of their music. They are Awesome in concert too! Some of my favorites is the song ONE, UNFORGIVEN 1&2, DON'T TREAD ON ME and FADE TO BLACK. I really wish you would check some of these out! BTW I like watching you discover different types of Music. It take you on a journey if you let it.
Thank you this is a great reaction. Keep it up!
1 more, saw interview where sir elton john said this was one of the best songs he has heard. Great praise
So happy you've done this one❤ one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Im a total metallica fan from the old days and i still love this✌️✌️✌️
Beautiful song. One of my all time favourites.
A few months ago my girlfriend had just broken up with me but we still went and saw Metallica the day after as planned. I saw her texting another guy while sitting next to me. A few years before, I had just gotten in massive trouble with my parents days before a Metallica concert and almost wasn't allowed to go.
Some day I hope to see them and it be a positive experience.
One of my favorite instrumental song intros ever!
My favourite Metallica song 🎧 😊great reaction
i grew up on metallica. You should do a deep dive into their history
"You guys go wild and I don't know why" For me it's 3 core reasons among many ancillary ones.
The three cores for me:
1) You are an artist yourself so you have extra insight that some other people might not, and at heart and respect the art regardless of if it is your thing
2) I can tell from watching you that you actually try to see what the art is showing you, or making you feel, you don't just write it off at face value
3) It's always dope seeing someone from another fanbase tip their toes into something you love
As someone who has intensely loved so many different genres in my life, it's always amazing to vicariously watch someone's musically journey to a place you did in the past, a place and time you hold dear, and see it almost again for the first time, threw fresh eyes.
I'll never forget when I was in high school I was super into music, art, history, and nerd shit like World of Warcraft. I'll never forget the day that I was showing a friend the stuff I had earned in the game my "gear" that my character wore. That I worked hard for. I'm a nerdy white kid, and this other kid I knew who was all about that street life walked by doing his gangster walk. He's like a tough street kid that could scare a nerd. He walks by and sees what I'm showing my other nerdy friend. He says "Oh shit! Is that World of Warcraft?? You got fucking Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros?? (it's just a super rare and fancy weapon in the game) Wtf! That's crazy!!! Check out my Warrior he has Thunderfurry!" We instantly became friends after talking nerd shit for an entire hour. It blew my mind because we could not have been from two more different walks of life and in one instant, we both knew we were brothers. That's the type of feeling you get as a rap head when a metalhead comes around to the magic of rap, or visa versa. It's like how music is the universal language, you don't even have to understand the words for it to communicate with you. It's a magically thing if you are open and receptive to it.
They have some the deepest lyrics you'll find,,,,explor more brother , you'll love it
Im 57, 1st convert Ella Fitzgerald, loved metql but lovebrap. 2st was sugar hill, run, kurtis, eric b, fat boys. Let us all experience all music. God bless
You nailed it on the head black p you said wow yo whoooi yaa. Nice. You get it black p. Yeah do all the things Metallica related for sure. I'm sure all will show up to the gig!! 👍
If you like the “don’t tread on me” logo, you have to hear their song “Don’t Tread on Me”….. the first words of that song are “Liberty or Death”….
Ridiculously slept on song. Don’t Tread On Me is an absolute favorite.
@@danielanderson8980 it’s a banger. Most songs on that album are. It’s only the “purists” of thrash who dislike it. I like the first 4 albums as much as the purists but I also understand musical evolution and how times and sounds change. Show me a single band who’ve sounded the same and never evolved over 30 years or so and I’ll show you a band who fell off the radar….
@@fattony986 agreed. The black album got me into the rest of their stuff and it remains my personal favorite.
It means be true Too youre heart !
My husband and I had this as our first dance song at our wedding. I still get butterflies every time i listen to it. Just plain and simple, “Nothing else matters”.
I think you would love "Bleeding Me" from the S&M live performance and "No Leaf Clover" from S&M 2
My first three CD's were bought on mail order from a music magazine. -One of those deals where you made a cheap subscription and got 3 free cds... I chose Metallicas Black ALbum, AC/DC Ballbreaker and Absolute Music #4.
Still consider them the root of my music taste in general! LOL
There's a "Don't Tread on Me" song on this album...and it's🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#GadsdenFlag
for me the song is about by myself, trust myself, i am great how i am, no matter what you say. you can't bring me down.
Snd also, please! Do more metallica live! They sound as best live!! So much energy!!!
Thank you! Your honesty and outlook on life and learning is refreshing.
The black album is the best album of all time in any genre!! Then 50s. I listen to everything to
This was my introduction to Metallica about 25 years ago and i never looked back 🖤
Love this song. You’d be surprised how many weddings this play at. Even orchestra, or just a string version is beautiful. Dave Grohl (I know wrong band but give me a moment) said he never reveals specifically what the lyrics mean to any song. When he plays live in front of 15,000 people, he want the song to have 15,000 meanings. Every single person should fell their own way, have their own meaning. Love your channel. Please try some Foo Fighters (y’all knew it was coming). The Pretender or All My Life.
Black Sabbath , She’s Gone will haunt you to the bone, give it a try it made me a true Ozzy fan!
I would rather have an honest first reaction. Thank you for being a real one
Badass!! Welcome home sanitarium is great also Fade to black amazing
Guitar break in the middle of the song is my favorite.❤❤
now you gotta watch the version they did with Miley Cyrus on the Howard Stern Show!!!! shit is so good and they sound amazing together
James wrote this song because he missed his gf at the time. I was in my first interracial relationship when this song came out so this song became our song. The black album, the album this song was on, was the first album that I got into The Mighty Met! I have been a lifetime fan since then. 💜 Also the naked pic was his gf. 😁
Chris Stapleton just did a version about 2 years ago.... Sounds Great!!
When you go down the rabbit hole of people playing hard rock on older instruments like pianos and harps, most sound ok. But Metallica always sounds amazing.
Their songs are some of the best written music ever! Both with music and lyrics.
Art is open to interpretation, this is one of the first songs I learnt to play on guitar and sing. Metal bands write the best slow songs.
Now this is a song that would be dope to see you sample/cover!
wonderful how you put your faith in God front and center in your life, followed by your family. may our Lord continue to bless you and yours.
Music means what it means for you. My son take this as a love song, i think of family and my other son sees all of his close friends
I feel it's about the band and family. Just to be kind and love
Bro you don’t talk to much, don’t worry, and interpreting without the “homework,” is actually probably the best way to do it, as you say it’s art… thanks for the entertainment, and for encouraging us to check out other music…hope your toy drive concert went well, and happy holidays
Oh HeLL YeaH!
Isn’t it great how our brains can evolve 😉
If you're on a "don't tread on me" trip, Metallica actually have a song called Don't Tread On Me that I think you'd like. It's from the same album as this one.
Incredible song and video!🤘❤🤟
i always felt that he is just opening up for the first time, and saying how he feels, how he sees, lives life
It’s a love song
Just found your channel and I am very entertained by your work. I love seeing your reactions to the music that was the backdrop of my life.
This was the song my first bride walked down the aisle to at our wedding. Too bad the marriage didn’t age as well as the song.
One of the values in Genius art is its transcendence quality, its ability to transcend the meaning of the originator, and have many other meanings to many other people.
I think it is a love song
They are live so great!!Go and watch them live,they are so great!Love them!
I love the way you think and experience tunes, you have an open mind. Try Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven and Pink Floyd, Shine on you crazy diamond (about the lead singer that was hospitalised for mental health issues) one of the most beautiful songs about a lost friend.
Real music is played on instruments. Metallica are GOAT!
Better late than never....glad you joined the party:))
This is Our Family Theme Song♥️✝️🎶♥️✝️🎶
I first heard this at age of 14. Relationship song. That's what I thought. Mid 20s. God. Now. Government telling you how to live. I think they put this together to represent all those. I seen a video like 6yrs ago of James and Larus talking about why they left California and moved to Colorado. And it was politics.
I know it’s not matallica, but I would love to hear “Winds of change “ by the Scorpions it’s got a good vibe like we are all brothers
One of the best Metalica Songs ever!!!!!!
This was a song written by James for his then girfriend. He didnt mean for it to be a metallica song but the producer heard what james was doing and convinced him to add it to the album they were working on at the time.
Everyone used to read the lyrics... that was my first listen to every album I bought in my youth. Get home from the record store, headphones in, listen, read along, look at the artwork. It was a whole tactile, sensual experience.
Would love to see your reaction to their song "One"
Spot on bro.
They dedicated this song to their fans!!💜💜🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🥁🎧🎹🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Have you heard about when metallica was performing back in the day, they were playing fade to Blake and James the lead singer got hit by the morter blast on stage
Your vibe is right!!
You should watch "Green Day Bohemian Rhapsody. You can see the symbols vibrating
It's never too late to get out of your comfort zone. Keep going! There's so much more or there.
Don't tread on me is also song from Metallica if you are interested. Because you were saying in the beginning of the video ( They have that don't tread on me joint. )
Played it on our Wedding. Love it forever!
Favourite band and have seen them live several times here in the UK, love your reaction ! But not surprised at your turn around there's depth in rock, enjoy your journey.
Finally got to see Metallica in concert last November in Detroit... They did a show with Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills.. One hell of a show and such a stage presence...
