      I always saw it as euphoric, it’s the moment dude relents and relapses thus giving us this whimsical high sounding melody. Then it’s back to the guilt coming back once interlude is over and you got that post nut clarity kicking in

      @agx8447 Місяць тому +8

      @@reachSora It is, but it’s not just bliss or pleasure. That’s more what you hear in songs like I (just died in your arms). There is a distinct sound of pain in this MoP solo which I’m sure addicts anywhere can relate to. A high isn’t pleasure, it’s just an absence of pain.

    • @reachSora

      @@agx8447 Interesting point, I feel like that’s what makes music so enjoyable is because we are able to all have different perspectives on the same thing. To me this part of the song has always invoked a sense of pleasure. Because a high for me has always been a pleasurable thing even when I’m aware of the fact that I’m relapsing or that act of doing said action isn’t good for me. Those feelings don’t return until after that and it’s the same thing here it’s As if for a moment the person is forgetting their struggle when they’re relapsing, but it all comes crashing back down again with the regret and sorrow and the anguish once they realize their mistake. Hence the change in rhythm and overall tone following the interlude.

    •  23 дні тому +3

      I have this theory that the entire *Guitars On Fire* era (from about 1985 to 1989) would have been extended for an entire decade if Cliff Burton and Stevie Ray Vaughn would have survived: Cliff would have been more of an anchor for Metallica, and they would have been able to explore the greater musicality without hitting the And Justice wall of empty technique.
      Cliff would have made that entire next albums better. Justice would have been more naturally technical instead of the way it was, because it definitely lacked something without Cliff.
      Justice was great because everyone else in Metallica was at the height of their power, but it was off...not least because the bass was gone.
      With Cliff around it would have been less explicitly "I have something to prove" progressive metal and more naturally fitting progressive.
      I think they could have been harder and better with Cliff around, instead of constantly softening Load metal. Things could have been better a lot longer.
