*It drives me crazy when some ppl are like "If this was a song by some random band I'd really like it.. but since I expect more from Metallica, it's just "meh". Yes I like this song.

@@joshbrewer4309 The one which goes 'we're so f'd, slit out of luck, blacked out pop queen, amphetamine, Allure, Allure, sweatness obscure,' and you just roll your eyes. Yeah, that's Shitwired.
When I first heard this tune the other night I was kinda torn, as far as my initial impression. Now a couple days have gone by and I have found myself repeatedly going back to listen to it, over and over. The chorus where James screams the song title is everything in this track. That and the kick drums. But just the way James climbs the ladder vocally to belt out the chorus is such an amazing hook. This almost feels like a sorta power metal almost-but-not-quite Dokken-type vibe meets British new wave meets sped-up Load riffage meets a more polished version of Hit the Lights. It's gonna be a go-to live song (the lyrics kinda reflect that) and the song's energy and the boys' own energy are undeniable. I can't explain it, but all I know is my ear loves it. I'm very happy Metallica is back with new tunes and I'm also very happy they kept the album under wraps so now it's arriving soon - to MY mind - rather than them announcing it 2 years out and then us playing the waiting game. These old dogs can still hunt.
There is a riff in there that is from "Hit the lights" , "Lightning the Nation" is a take on the song "Lightning to the Nations" by Diamond Head. "Full speed or nothing" from the tune Motorbreath! Kirk's solo lacked not melody like most say but more a sense of beginning and end...imo. It was surprising! Awesome production, energy and vocals!! Great show guys btw!
Upper left corner dude I dunno who you are but the way you just laughed with happiness through the whole thing gives me so much life. Pretty much my reaction the first several times through.
David: Haha, yeah, I just can’t help it. I am a super fan when it comes to Metallica’s music, so goofy faces are pretty much the norm for me on first listens.
I've been with metallica since their inception. When I hear criticisms of particular songs or albums I just feel like I do when super rich people buy 100 dollar meals in Venice then go to Paris and are so pretentious they judge 2 excellent meals one against the other and say one is crap. I hate it! Some people seem so entitled at the way metallica should please them that they hate on them for not "living up". Artists in their purity go where their art takes them. I'm just appreciative for the ride. This song ROCKS!
I have been listening to Metallica since before I could talk I was born just a few months before Ride the lightning was released, in all the years, they've never let me down, their music is now and has always been absolutely incredible.
This is kill em all with good production that's all it is. The reason why that album doesn't get the critique like this current song would is because no one ever heard anything like that before.
simply made the past into the future out of nothing. this disc is wise and clever. rousing and pleasantly rustic in a positive sense 🤘 definitely one of the most manifested songs ever
If you took young James voice and put on this, it would be right at home in 81-84. If this came out in 84 people would’ve loved it in the thrash scene. I was there.
People that aee not deep metal heads would not pick up on what Kirk is doing on his solo. Yes its short but he's playing homage to Hank Sherman from Mercyful Fate. The whammy bar pull offs with the decending up the neck is Hank Sherman's signature leads. The symbol hitsand stops are references also to Mercyful Fate as in "Curse of the Pharoahs" and the drum kick is reference to MotorHead's "OverKill" and also has some Judas Priest vibes all together in a 3 minute song!

Cool reaction it the 6song off the album so it could be intense album or 77 minutes of everything else done by them in life. Hopefully this is weak off the album. Lars did say it heavyset album for them so far and best to
@@joshbrewer4309 I like this whole song......people hate on Metallica because that's what "old school" metal heads are supposed do..... hate Metallica because of Napster, St. Anger, Lulu and a bunch of other bad metal musical decisions which the band has made......I don't care, this song kicks ass. I play guitar. I've been playing guitar forever. After doing the research and replaying full albums and playing the notes at proper BPM.......the guitar solo part at 2:32 is EXACTLY the same notes as what Kirk recorded for one of the solos on the Master Of Puppets song.....Do I think Kirk kinda ripped himself off? Yes. Am I mad about it? Hell no! The song is great over all.....let's not forget that these dudes are getting so old they could apply for Social Security Benefits........yet they're still belting out these awesome tracks.
In what bizarro world are we living in where the song Hardwired wasn’t universally see as an absolute ripping, face-melting tune?? I simply don’t know what to do with what I’m hearing right now. 😂 That song rules.
I was just as excited when Metallica suddenly dropped a new track in 2016. Unfortunately, i immediately pegged "Hardwired" as an uninspired, soulless track with poor vocals/lyrics. Luckily not all tracks (though some) on the album Hatdwired aren't the same dribble.
David: I agree it definitely gives me hardwired vibes but I think it kinda does what hardwired was trying to do only better. That could be recency bias though 😅
@@joshbrewer4309 absolutely, you have to work as hard as they did on that song ! You can “hear” the time and effort that they invested in that song …. That’s not just a “track” that’s “ music “ !
Lux is a much better song. It just feels like Metallica are not really trying on this one. They have written some of the best metal in history, and this song does not live up to that...
I just hope that the album is not full of slow beat crap like we've seen on Hardwired. I didn't care for that album except for Atlas and Bones. This is a good fast first single but I'm hoping for some switch ups and more trashy riffs.
The riff is decent, that’s it !!! It’s too poppy, true Metallica should sound serious and dark. I don’t believe they will ever return to that. If you like it that’s fine but i fell in love with the old style.
Great song. Hate the solo. Kirk has been playing the same wah saturated similar solos in every song since death magnetic. He is a lazy lead guitarist at this point in my opinion.
David: I want Kirk to go back to the days where he actually composes a solo and not just kinda jams one out. That said this solo was fine to me and fit the style of the song.
David: I think the solo is fine but I am hoping for some more “composed” solos and less “jam” type solos on the rest of the tracks. But I very much liked the song overall.
Albeit assisted with effects, I think this is James best vocal performance since Reload. I mean this is just one song, so that's a premature take, but still.

Couldn’t be said better.
Yes appreciate them while they're still alive
It's Load, Reload, Shitwired... crap! They should've stopped in '86, or '94 at the latest.
That seems a bit over the top….also I’m not sure what album is Shitwired? I think you mean Hardwired.

FINALLY A CHANNEL WHERE GUYS APPRECIATE METALLICA FOR JUST BEING LEGENDS.

I’ve probably listened to it 20-30 times. I need to stop or I’m gonna get burned out before the next song!

When a band makes your head bob back and forth…that means it's a great band!
Agreed!
1983 just showed 2022 how to Rock
That’s what it feels like
THIS SONG IS COOL... FOR 60 YEARS OLD MUSICIANS, METALLICA STILL FAST AND POWERFULL.. JAMES VOICE? HE STILL GOOD..
James sounds great!
I have been listening to Metallica since before I could talk I was born just a few months before Ride the lightning was released, in all the years, they've never let me down, their music is now and has always been absolutely incredible.
By far my favorite 3.5 minute MetallicA song.
That’s an interesting thought. How many sub 4 minute songs do they have?
First guy I heard said they didn’t like the hardwired song. Lol. You guys are great and love the commentary!
This is kill em all with good production that's all it is. The reason why that album doesn't get the critique like this current song would is because no one ever heard anything like that before.
I wonder if the rest of the album will have this vibe.
@@joshbrewer4309 probably not. It'll be hardwired part 2 but this quality I'm sure
So Kill 'Em All had little balls... this has no balls. OK Then
Well said
after the black album the first goosebump song for me 😍😍😍
That’s awesome!
Love the pure joy of the reaction! Same face I made !
Hard not to get excited!!!

David: Totally agree, although I was born in 85 so take that with a grain of salt, haha!
I don’t know which of his voices I prefer.
I see myself going 160 km on the interstate with this song... i will need to put the cruisecontrol on !
It’s a banger! 🤘🤘
YES! YES! Metallica! Metallica!
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow!!Absolutely awesome
I agree! Can’t wait for the next track to drop!
I could immediately tell the two dudes on top row were Tallica-Dorks like myself. Great stuff and I agree great song.
David: Yeah man, I can’t hide who I am 😂
I can’t help it!
Metallica cool👍👍👍😎.
Very cool
I had the same reaction!!! 🤘🖤
It’s so good!!
Long live Metallica!!!!

I want to hear the 1st song or the 4th song. Traditionally strong Metallica songs on the album
Praise is due to James for losing the yeah-ahh trope. Plagued metallica for years.
This feels like sarcasm-ahh
Nothing wrong with a YEA-AAHHH every now and again 😁
Good Song.

Didn't think that they had it in them ...but I STAND CORRECTED .... Kirk raked that solo ...the band is as tight as Tupperware.

Lux is a much better song. It just feels like Metallica are not really trying on this one. They have written some of the best metal in history, and this song does not live up to that...
Hello
Loved the song & kicked ass but I felt kirk could have done better with the solo
I just hope that the album is not full of slow beat crap like we've seen on Hardwired. I didn't care for that album except for Atlas and Bones. This is a good fast first single but I'm hoping for some switch ups and more trashy riffs.
I feel optimistic we’ll get some more up tempo tunes on this one.
I hope its the "Filler" song like Cyanide. I really hope we get variety on this record.
Whoa!!! Escape is not filler!!
Yeah ok I take the Escape being filler back but it is the weekest track on the rtl.
No way…..Trapped under Ice is the weakest
That tune rips
The riff is decent, that’s it !!! It’s too poppy, true Metallica should sound serious and dark. I don’t believe they will ever return to that. If you like it that’s fine but i fell in love with the old style.

Great song. Hate the solo. Kirk has been playing the same wah saturated similar solos in every song since death magnetic. He is a lazy lead guitarist at this point in my opinion.
But this song has no wah in it doe 🤔 but the solo could’ve been better that I agree with
David: I want Kirk to go back to the days where he actually composes a solo and not just kinda jams one out. That said this solo was fine to me and fit the style of the song.
lets wait for the whole album.hope he can write something he wrote back then when hes in exodus
Solo sounds like twenty other solos he's done. Also he is mispronouncing lux.
James doesn’t mispronounce anything
sounds like an old Sodom song
David: Sodom is definitely on my list of bands to check out. I hear Agent Orange is supposed to be their best but it’s not currently on Spotify.
If this is what Sodom sounds like then I’m in to it!
Just shows that people will praise metallica no matter whatever crap they release. That solo doesm't work musically at all relating to the song
Average nothing special. I'm sure they have better deeper songs on the album.
If the other songs are better than this then we’re in for a treat!
The guitar solo lets the song down.
David: I think the solo is fine but I am hoping for some more “composed” solos and less “jam” type solos on the rest of the tracks. But I very much liked the song overall.
Song is super generic imo
Yuck!!
Don’t like the song?
This song is horrible metallica James Hetfield should retire
Albeit assisted with effects, I think this is James best vocal performance since Reload. I mean this is just one song, so that's a premature take, but still.
