HOLY COW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Metallica - Sad But True REACTION

[@seandobson6221]

Don’t Tread on Me is one of my all time favorites by Metallica. I saw them in Tulsa in 2018. It was a bucket list item that I waited nearly thirty years to get to see. Well worth it!

[@vincegedeon6583]

The Black album is 🔥

I love "through the never" as well

[@gennyreese420]

I'm pretty sure this song saved a woman's life, she was being stalked by a cougar and she played this on her phone as loud as she could and the cat went away LOL it made the news it shouldn't be too hard to find online. I'm glad you got to see Metallica everyone should see them at least once it's such a rush!

I know you’ve already done some of their great songs, but you haven’t even scratched the surface of their best and deepest yet…I can’t wait to see you get there such a great journey yet to come 🤘🏼✨

This is my favorite part about reaction channels that I you know get into and I like because the people give honest reactions but it takes me back to when I was young when that song came out. You know when that song was a big part of my life. I just turned 44 and it's nice just getting the feel those emotions again

[@grimey4life]

Many try to dismiss Lars as an average drummer in a great band but he always plays what is needed for the song and is a large part of the Metallica sound.

[@gl15col]

This song makes shivers run down my spine every time. The lyrics are just terrifying, and the music is razor sharp.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Ok, Amber's stank face while listening to heavy metal is frikkin greatness! Metallica is a band that has so many great songs that it is hard for people to agree on a favorite, because each one hits everybody individually on a different level.

My take on this is quite different. To me it's about possession of many sorts. Demonic, possibly but also the iron grip of a fractured angry self tired of covering up the lies and of manipulating the aftermath of utter self gratification. But I see your point. S.W.

[@claudiogonzalez1579]

For me this song it's about yourself, about your evil yourself. Kindle of you try to do right but, your evil self influence you to do evil stuff and convince you that it's someone else, but at the end it's you all the way

[@lionelschweetz4844]

To me, it’s about self loathing. Especially in the throes of addiction. The feeling of shame, and the reminder that your biggest hater is oftentimes yourself.

As a kid, I couldn't get into heavy metal. I resisted it for so long. Then I listened to Metallica's "ONE" and everything changed. I bought all of their albums and played the heck out of them. ONE opened the door. That will always be my favorite hard rock song. It means everything to me.

Thats how us old metalheads feel about Master Of Puppets. Expecially if you've had issues with addiction. That song is just a little too real!

[@sarahmcdowell6618]

Slight correction, they were in their late-20's. This album was released August of '91. Kirk's the oldest band member, (born Nov. 1962), James and Lars will be 60 this year, (both born 1963), and Rob is the youngest, (born Oct. '64).

Thanks for sharing your reaction to one of my all-time favorite bands!

[@darkshadows7119]

it's not that Lars hits his drums any harder than any other rock drummer, it's the tones of his drums. If you take a good look at his kit, you'll notice both the larger diameter and longer depth of some of those toms, which coupled with the right skin gives him his deep tones. Some might be due to his playing, but I'd put most of my money on his kit. This tune brings back so many teen-angst memories, and so many great ones! Truly a Metalica classic :)

Love the hard rock, fast guitars and your love of Lars' drumming. If you want to explore more heavy metal but with a twist, you need to check out Babymetal, a Japanese hard rock band. Similar in terms of the guitars and drums, but the vocals are the star of the show because it is unexpected. And incredible audience reaction. Check out "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan", "Headbanger" or "Gimme Chocolate" to start. But I think you will be blown away by their performance.

[@stevehamilton8824]

On of my favorites from this band. The drums hit hard. Just goes right through you and vibrates your entire body. Many people have been like you in that they just see long hair, loud music and think that there isn't anything real behind the lyrics. Many, many heavy metal bands have really deep lyrics, often times political or based on world inequality. These bands often come from areas where they are poor and the economies suck and so they sing about their lives. Similar to how people judge rap without understanding and knowing the world they come from and how deep the lyrics are in the rap, especially the harder core rap music. Takes on a whole different meaning.

[@tipigi3570]

I would love to see your reaction to Orion by Metallica. It's an instrumental, and I'm sure you'd enjoy it!

The way Amber understands songs astounds me. I fell in love with Metallica back in 1988, so was deeply into them when the Black album was released, which is the album this song is on.This song to me as a young guy was this heavy, heavy riff song but as time went by I asked myself what is it about. It took me several years to grasp what it's meaning was. Amber has one listen and she gets it. 😄 I'm sure Snoop Dogg performed a version of this on MTV Icon.

Fade to Black will always be a special song to me, would love to watch you two react! Is a "softer" Metallica but is beautiful and has one of my favourite solos.

my favourite metallica song. love the lyrics, i always understood them in a quite literal way, when the song begins whit "Hey, Im your Life!" means that theres a beeing, a subconsciousness, a demon or whatever which IS your life and YOU are only the vessel for it and the lyrics make perfect sense.
