    80'S decade Metal will never be reproduced. Most old guys like me didn't realized how blessed we were to be able to see guys like them in their Prime. Looking back, we were blessed.

      I would agree those times will never be reproduced. Like you I didn’t realize during those days, how special they were. Listening to older concerts like this bring back fond memories and make me realize how grateful I was to be a part of this back then.

      Wintersun Alex here . I wanted to know if you got my list of suggestions for my favorite symphonic metal band wintersun from Finland. Vocalyst I don't know if you knew but they are a sister band to nightwish because nightwish has members in nightwish that were in wintersun. But that list again was starting first is wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video. Then is wintersun time live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studios in Helsinki Finland. After that is wintersun land of snow and sorrow live rehearsal video. If you love nightwish you'll love wintersun. Thank you wintersun Alex ❤️

      To see and hear them listen to and enjoy MY era of music just validates the fact that my misspent youth wasn't all for nothing. My parents would think otherwise, though.....😁.

      Hindsight is always 20/20. To me, the bigger blessing is that we live (and lived) in a time when it was all recorded over and over again, and remastered so we get to enjoy it all any time we want. I'd just like a professionally remixed "Justice" album, the way it should've been. I know it was remastered in 2018, but remixed and remastered are two very different things. Let's get the album we (but above all else... Jason deserves!)

Nothing the band touched for the past 30 years is even good, even from the studio as well, again, it is what it is. Metallica was great in the 80's, and that's about it.

    This is their And Justice For All tour, which I witnessed and was AMAZING. The song is off Ride The Lightning, and addresses suicide. The gentle tone off the bat is intentional.
    I would argue that Ride the Lightning hasn't a single flub on it. The entire album is stellar, and was my first exposure to both Thrash metal and Metallica.
    Having now seen them live twice, I can promise you that you will never be disappointed. Take the time and experience their live show.

    James Hetfield has said before that they get a lot back from fans saying how this song helped them in dark times and made them feel like they weren't alone. It did the same for me when I first heard it at a young age.
    "I wrote the song at a friend's house in New Jersey. I was pretty depressed at the time because our gear had just been stolen, we had been thrown out of our manager’s house for breaking shit and drinking his liquor cabinet dry. It's a suicide song and we got a lot of flak for it, as if kids were killing themselves because of the song, but we also got hundreds of letters from kids telling us how they related to the song and that it made them feel better."

      James's moms death is an integral part of this song. She (Cynthia; also once an opera singer) passed away from cancer when he was just 16. His parents were strict Christian Scientists and didn't believe in medication, just faith healing, so had his mom gone to the hospital, she may have survived (and certainly longer than she did). She also helped James pay for the amp that was among the gear that was stolen). Very important pieces to the story of the song "Fade to Black".

    I think you would really appreciate the S&M (symphony and metallica) concert.

Outlaw Torn is a standout for Vocals and symphonic elements (1999 version, not the more recent SM 2)

    The anthem of a generation of metal heads with issues and no help out there! It helped so much to know we weren’t alone and it was ok to not be ok. I don’t know how I would have survived my youth without metal music to release my anger and anxiety! Metallica family for life!

    If you want to take a look to vocals, you should try "Bleeding me", live performance with The San Francisco Symphony from 1998. You won't regret it.

    This was the first song that I can remember that dealt with such a heavy topic. Hearing it for the first time as a teenager and just knowing that I wasn't alone in how I felt made so much of a difference... I always wonder how many other people this song talked off the ledge.

  • @ricardocesteves4138

    No Leaf Clover with the San Francisco symphony is a must. For a very recent performance, I suggest the tribute to Elton John, funeral for a friend. And for an amazing performance, The Day That Never Comes, Nimes Live.

    I'm very very glad that you loved this song as much as we do. Metallica is my favorite band and watching your analysis gives me another dimension to cherish them!
    I hope you could do an analysis to Time and Sons of winter and stars, from Wintersun. It's a mind-blowing experience from vocals to every instrument. Even more impressive when you know that the singer doesn't have 1/3 of his lung. I hope that this comment can reach you ❤

    Great song, one of the best ever. The best live sound for it, other than being there, was the big 4 gig from Sophia Bulgaria. The clarity of sonlund, vocally and instrumentally was so much clearer than this concert you previewed. If you ever want to listen to it again in your own time.

    I was 14 when this album came out and going through some very dark times, this song saved me. Every word in the lyrics was what I was feeling but the final solo was so inspiring, so uplifting, so impactful that it showed me that there was a little light within the darkness and there was hope... I'm 54 now and have had battled depression all my life, this song has been my life line...

    Brings back memories of the Guns N’ Roses/metallica tour in Arizona in 89, the 80s and early 90s were a blast. Super glad I was able to see Cliff in Tucson Arizona during the Master of Puppets/Ozzy Osbourne ultimate sin tour, unfortunately in September later that year the bus had an accident thanks too either a driver that fell asleep or black ice or a combination of both. Losing a cool dude really does suck, especially when it was no fault of his own, it was just the luck of the draw and picking a bunk to sleep and I guess

    Suggestion for video - your personal choices to count down (however many singers you deem be included) the top rock vocalists with your comments - not on vocal technique but what about their voice leaves you saying why each is where you place them all the way to number 1. I'd love to hear about what are you 'intangibles' - that make you most impressed. PLEASE! Thanks very much for what you do. You are the best at this analysis.

    This is cool, this your channel is cool! I love your reactions well pretty much everything I've seen so far lol. Short boring story, I'm well probably about your age, I started playing the guitar when I was 5 when I got my first guitar, Metallica's "one" is the first song I can remember playing, this one was close behind it but can remember this was always one of my favorite songs to play. About 25 years ago leaving a bar was playing at, the guys I was with were always getting into crap, always a fight somewhere, always something I was fed up with it and told them if more crap tonight I'm putting down this guitar and I'm never touching it again and after fighting my way to the back door later that night during the battle of the bands thing going on in our little town nothing big as I rounded back door two guys bounced off the case in my hand and my cherry sunburst Les Paul bounced along with them right out through the parking lot lol. That was it and I meant it don't even ask I forgot how. Listened to this style of music my whole life, I played this style well played all different styles but this was always my favorite because of the complexity involved. 20 years later about 5 -6 years ago now after running my own little handyman business for exactly 7 years to the day the lady I was dating at the time convinced me to take a day off and just rest for a day I listened it was the seventh anniversary of the day I started the business she went on to work and I went out to garage by myself don't nothing but piddling around a little and had a stroke, spent next 19 days in a coma, that was supposed to be that Drs wanted pull plug but I woke up like nothing ever happened or so I thought I had to relearn about everything all over again walk, talk, and my memory kinda sucks but years later sometimes things still return to me that I forgot, while in coma I was tested for everything under the sun, I wasn't on drugs or anything hadn't been, nothing like that so they couldn't figure out why a perfectly healthy 36 I think I was would be having a stroke, long story short tumor in right lung wrapped around arota or whatever that vessel is called."don't feel bad this is a good story I promise lol", well they told me at the time I wouldn't live to see my next birthday so if there was anything I ever wanted to do I better do it now, ok so I took my entire family to the beach, twice lol, went to see Stevie Nicks again, and her with Fleetwood Mac again lol, finally went to see Tesla who I have always loved also, I took my 70 year old mom with me because everyone else was to whipped to be allowed out lol, so I took Mom and we had a great time, they were all like new experiences to me even after listening to them my entire life, all brand new and I got a kick watching my mother fall in love with black Sabbath it really was a amazing thing to see, right after that I went to a Drs appointment to my head Dr forget what his title was prescribed meds as to not stroke out or whatever after mentioning in a different life used to play guitar, he thought it was a good idea to pick it back up help with both coordination and memory maybe, after 20 plus years I picked it back up and I knew nothing lol didn't even feel familiar at all. Been a while and still songs coming back and feeling the love for the music all over again like I've never heard it before, I don't wish anyone the path I took but I hope everyone gets the same excited feeling listening to the music that I can tell from looking at you wasn't what you were listening to when we were younger at all was it? A friend mentioned old black Sabbath and your channel came up, kinda amazing watching you react to the same thing I'm feeling, pretty cool and you asked for suggestions and when I watched it all kinds of memories come rushing back, that whole story I just told you and I remember listening to them and Metallica constantly growing up and remember some pretty funny stories and just a great time period in my life! You don't know how much I really appreciate that so much I'm going to walk out to my building and see just how much did come back this time lol and drive my neighbor's a little crazy. Oh by the way after almost exactly year from being told all that good news they decided to operate, so once they did it was the next morning I was on operating table, went in expecting to loose a lung, got in decided wasn't cancerous after all turned out to be autoimmune disease and sowed me back up, put me on steroids for next 18 months, all gone, all good now, see told you happy story lol. Black Sabbath album, black Sabbath song, same album I think, Sabbath bloody Sabbath, same album N.I.B. both original version, and N.I.B. from Sabbath farewell tour, see what Ozzie sounds like from beginning to couple years ago, my opinion, children of the grave, amazing song, after watching them probably lead you to many more amazing songs but pay particular attention to Toni s the guitarist fingers at least one of them is a prosthetic finger, maybe two can't remember exactly, how does he do that? I mean I'm left handed and play right handed but that's one thing this dude playing with a fake finger wow. When you get to Ozzie I recommend the Randy Rhodes Tribute album, the whole album! Amazing guitarist it's a shame. Then when Zac Wilde joins either no more tears album or live and load, both great albums, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot in between, sorry for the book , I love your channel! Metallica medley in the two videos I have watched both start in B if I'm not mistaken fade to black B then A I think the intro anyway A,C.D. the body and a E I believe but he's getting that melodic tone by playing octaves that is to say in his strumming he emphasis both a say b note then followed with another b an octave higher but same Note in both one and fade to black, also sanitarium maybe not octaves in sanitarium but a similar trick, and starts riff then work his way up and ends on the octave. Not to go check and see if I'm right and I do remember everything I feel I did lol. I think you would like Metallica's black album also, nothing else matters, my guess will be right down your alley, if you like James voice that's about when he really started coming into his own and I believe when he finally took his first lesson with a voice coach, first time he learned to warm up before a show lol. Looking at a add for Seminary Gates and that's what triggered all that, that was the last song I ever played on a stage that was the song was playing when the fight broke out the night I quit, and if not for stroke I really was never playing again ever, never hope that you never lose that sparkle in your eyes, coming from the new and amazing places music and life can take you! I love days I get to learn something new, or remember something old for bringing me a little bit of that, from the bottom of my heart thank you C.J. p.s. Alice in chains! Amazing harmony another damn shame but awesome!

    Thank you for your reaction to this one! Epic track loved by many (not just Metallica fans).
    From 1991 live in Moscow I would HIGHLY recommend Creeping Death. Probably their best live version of the song, but in my opinion it's even better than the studio version.
    Cheers!

    Great reaction of one of my favorites off the Ride the Lightning album! For something a little different, I recommend the live versions from the S&M2 (Symphony & Metallica 😉) concert of "No Leaf Clover", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and can always do "Enter Sandman". There's many really good versions from both concerts (S&M and S&M2).
