"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, and 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."

[@clonexx]

This is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite songs from them. This got me through so many dark times in my teenage years. If I was feeling like I wanted to hurt myself, this song went on, I’d pick up my guitar and just go. By the time it was over, I’d be ok. This song has so much emotion and meaning to me wrapped up into it than it just being “some song”. It was made in 1984 and Metallica back then didn’t have access to the best of the best. This was only their second album and it would be another few years before they hit the big time. The reason it’s so polished and clean sounding is mainly because Lars and James are, or at least were back then, absolute perfectionists. Everything had to be perfect and done exactly right and sounding amazing or they did it over. This was True from the playing, to the recording to the mixing and mastering. BTW, when this album was written and recorded, James and Lars were around 20. Let that sink in....they were 20 years old and writing and performing at that level. It’s mind boggling... Thank you so much for doing this song, it’s saved my life on multiple occasions....

[@derekn3336]

Just wanted to take this quick, random moment to say that I'm glad you made it through it all. And, to say Thank You for sharing your soul.

[@clonexx]

Krieger Koenig I really, truly appreciate that, thank you. I’m 44 now, have a wonderful wife I’ve been married to for 23 years and have a 21 year old daughter. While it all hasn’t been smooth sailing, I’m extremely grateful I made it through those darker years and came out the other side. Metallica was a huge part of that happening and in January of 2009 I actually got to tell them that in person on the Death Magnetic tour.

[@randallzwickl5737]

Fade to Black is the reason I picked up a guitar. I took guitar lessons for two years and played lead while my teacher played rhythm at a guitar recital when I was 17. There is a real magic in listening to the song, but the experience to play in concert with someone else is nirvana. I don't play as much these days, but when this song comes on I have to air guitar and sing along with the solos. Anyways, Yes - Roundabout.

Cheers to that!

[@StewMain6]

Yes!!

[@StewMain6]

You guys should listen to the live version of children of the grave on the Randy Rhoads tribute album. One of Randy’s best solos in my opinion especially considering he never liked playing sabbath songs

[@JVFKNOTTOOL]

Fade to Black is one of my favorite Metallica tracks.Totally worth the wait. Glad I became a patron member so I can see content quicker. Was hoping to make 2 reaction requests Protest the hero-bloodmeat and The Dillinger Escape Plan-Milk Lizard.

[@remileclair]

or Sunshine The Werewolf?

[@chrisrojas740]

They wouldn't enjoy Sunshine, too chaotic and abrupt for them right now. I feel like Milk Lizard or even Widower would be perfect introductions!

[@JVFKNOTTOOL]

Chris Rojas I totally forgot about the Widower!!!

[@JVFKNOTTOOL]

Remi Vienneau LeClair I thought same thing but transitions might be too abrupt for them.

[@remileclair]

I think the video helps? hehehe But I guess I agree that it might be too chaotic! Unretrofied? I know it divides fans quite a bit, and I didn't like it when it came out... but I've mellowed in my "old age" and quite dig it now! Widower is certainly a good in between though!

[@phillipquinley9684]

You guys should listen to welcome home sanitarium.

[@ScarsUnseen24]

Please listen to their song "Battery"!

[@TheKartoffel101]

live Seattle 1989

[@cevan4156]

Or Dyers Eve.

[@ludwig.o]

Yeeeessss the riff in battery is crazy!!!!

[@thatoneginger9928]

Hell yeah dude battery is awesome

[@lowstryder1022]

Gotta do Battery!!! No live versions yet though. They should both experience the song as we all did with the studio version first. Just my opinion though. The S&M version is a particular favorite of mine with that orchestra in the background

[@charlesperry671]

I just love seeing that these two guys who are obviously modern music fans (which is nothing wrong with) they recognise the depth of these songs and that metal music isn’t just a blaring and fast notes, that the song has a message and is composed.

[@Liam-fs5fe]

They listen a lot to old school hip hop from they nineties, that’s not really modern

[@musiccitybyrd7326]

I used to listen to this record front to back every single day all through Junior High. Still gives me the feels to this very day! I love see you guys react to stuff that I've loved all these years and I know you will too.

[@evanhooper1]

Same here actually, glad to hear someone else did too. And then in high school I would listen to Rust In Peace daily. Sometimes I still do

[@arvindshastry1178]

This and Cemetery gates by pantera are two of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened

[@TheDisciple21]

Arvind Shastri Dont follow by aic is the most beautiful I have ever listened too

[@ryanforsythe8923]

Same here

[@ronsilvia8127]

Thank god for music nothing else can give you that feeling you get from certain songs totally magic

[@scottgillespie3838]

Well said! But without the God stuff...

[@Deathlyill666]

[@progrocker2112]

"Mike Tyson in a tutu" is a good way to describe the best power ballads from Metallica, The Scorpions, Savatage, etc.

[@aleksandrowicz4577]

gentlemen, first of all I appreciate that you go outside of your comfort zone and review these. So far as when this was made, the year was 1983. At that point they had no accesss to the best, not yet.

[@gregpfeffer223]

Metallica has brought you guys so much attention. Keep it up

[@joe_zeay]

Greg Pfeffer true... it is because of a Metallica video i was searching for, that i happened to run across this channel. Been hooked ever since!

[@c7237]

Welcome home (sanitarium)

[@danielvilllareal9726]

Carl Nordström I think they did this already, no?

[@vicmusic5640]

I'm no musician. I just know what pulls at me. Sanitarium makes me FEEL. GREAT CHOICE!!!!!!!

[@jessicapowers2024]

Yes!

[@theelostuchiha2157]

Definitely agree

[@ejm017]

Yes!!!!

[@nodave77]

Watch Metallica 1991 monsters of rock in Moscow - that will give you a feel for what seeing them in concert is like. This song fade to black is freaking amazing live, too bad the drums are hard to hear on this album.

[@Chris-bu3wn]

Check out the remastered version released I think last year or the year before, biggest improvement is on the drums, and you can actually hear all of the double kick, which especially adds to Fight Fire With Fire and Trapped Under Ice.

[@nodave77]

sweet thanks, I will go find that

[@Chris-jy7kn]

Yeah... Not a tired joke at all. No one has EVER tried to hate on Lars' drumming, you're definitely the first!!! But seriously, the drums sound great on this album in the remastered version, adds a lot of punch and energy to the songs.

[@RickyFrye]

Slayer.....Seasons in the abbis

[@Jillady]

D C I saw that tour in LA Cali.

[@schonsmith50]

Came back to watch this again. My father recently passed away, and he always said that this was the quintessential heavy metal song. We played it at his funeral, and it just makes me so happy to see people enjoying it. I'll always recommend this to people getting into Metallica for the first time.

[@chrisgomez860]

My condolences for your father 🥺

[@KattMurr]

Very sorry for your loss...

[@infinitefantasy5277]

Van Halen “hot for teacher”! Killer intro

[@adamschulte4119]

Infinite Fantasy I’m not the biggest Van Halen fan, but Hit for Teacher has got to be the ultimate hard rock song. The killer drumming and guitar from the VH brothers, the ultimate frontman and controversial (at the time), schoolboy sexual fantasy lyrics. Definitely need to do this one

[@williamjohnson4311]

"I DON'T FEEL TARDY"!!!

[@hl9h]

Infinite Fantasy yes with David Lee Roth it s amazing !

[@JohnGhost]

Infinite Fantasy Aw man, I think the clock is slow....

[@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo]

It’s the 34th anniversary of this album today

[@neilbrown7881]

I love the Mike Tyson analogy.

[@neilbrown7881]

I know. So funny.

[@jonfr9095]

[@CripplingExpresso]

I'll say it once again. PANTERA - FLOODS Check out The Sleep as well, hugely underrated song with a great solo.

[@davidh4648]

Crippling Expresso the greatest solo to ever solo !!!!

[@JonArcher1113]

Yeah The Sleep is groovy

[@Ghost-Drummer69]

I love y’all’s banter and the true first time reactions to hearing some music that is new to you both. Appreciate that you can step out of your comfort music and appreciate music that you otherwise wouldn’t listen to. Great work keep ‘em coming.

[@arthapotdar]

Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls!!! You just have to react on that man..

[@Xord499]

Artha Potdar yes!

[@tomcampbell9105]

May as well throw creeping death, and ride the lightning. Shit that whole album should be reviewed by these guys.

[@AsteroidBlueJazz]

This!!!!!!!!

[@kaithongsavanh3649]

For Whom The Bell Tolls...as a Metallica fan from the very start, that is my #1 favorite song. My #2 is Creeping Death as they opened every concert with that song in the beginning. Ride The Lightning is my favorite album...and other than those 2 songs it’s got Fade To Black too??? Shut the front door!!!!

“Orion” by Metallica.

@@ZekeMan62 they already did it

[@ZekeMan62]

@@big12informer86 Just watched it. Thank you my friend.

[@pduffy81]

Remember this was only their second album back in 1984 and was on an independent label, they basically got signed by a Major label two months after it came out. Anyways from the same album do "For whom the Bells toll" or "Creeping Death" or "Ride the Lightning" (title track)

[@rajamcraja]

metallica - wherever I may roam, you gonna like that one

[@Theneweastwood]

Mr. Blonde Yes!

[@rangamsarmah2061]

One of the most, well, unique Metallica solos.

[@jassie138]

This one was so good they forgot to pause every 20 seconds.

[@melissaw3317]

Loving these videos so much! The first Metallica review is what brought me here yesterday and 2 million of you videos later I'm still here... binge watching. New subscriber here. Love your reactions and love that you like so many different genres!

[@justinofclark]

Creeping Death for the next one.

[@DCinCali14]

Two suggestions I would make: Creeping Death and Orion.

[@Drewzilla95]

Four Horsemen

[@predatorhunter3169]

DinCali14 to live is to and disposable heroes

[@kromatiquestudio3334]

DinCali14 orion absolutely!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ellielangford2497]

Please yes to Orion

[@VBshredder]

Orion for sure. Next time it storms in Las Vegas (desert, i know) set up the camera on the porch, crank up the Orion and start recording!

[@Enterjudas1]

The Outlaw Torn, S&M version would be amazing to react to. Album version(Load) is great too

[@zevongrie1402]

Best Metallica song ever in my opinion (and they have many great songs to choose from). This was on Ride the Lightning from 1984 which was my first exposure to them. So much depth to this song, both musically and lyrically.

[@DiverHoly1]

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight!! :D

[@devilpuppetsinc]

DiverHoly1 exactly. They need to hear a Maiden song that rocks the arena that isn't just the galloping riff for four and a half to five minutes.

[@johnwilliams7283]

Has to be rime of the ancient mariner right?

[@philholl3852]

Or something like Iron Maiden on there first album Iron Maiden that goes hard

[@devilpuppetsinc]

They didn't like "Hallowed Be Thy Name", I doubt they'd like "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

[@bencurtin573]

POWERSLAVE. That's the kind of metal that they'd probably like (I'm sure they would also like 2 minutes to midnight) but Powerslave simply is better cause of that goddamn guitar solo(s). And that (kind of) bass solo. It's the best solo in metal in my opinion.

[@buckeyesbengalsreds3125]

Iced Earth, Kreator, Overkill, and Coroner are still waiting for a first reaction!

[@Ken-ps7my]

Buckeyes Bengals Reds death angel too

[@jasonlarson9018]

They're are so many cool bands that they haven't done yet, and will fail to because they just aren't known. They probably will never do Mustasch, Freak Kitchen, Orphaned Land, Grand Magus, and Amorphis...all cool bands.
