1 last thought. These dudes are in there 60’s & STILL ROCKIN’, bro

[@leehudgins6148]

Ok so maybe it’s not their best song but it’s still freaking Metallica ! Can’t wait to check out the new album!!!!

[@kaknazebali6073]

Guys, why you've reacted to all three new songs of Metallica, but missed new album of Megadeth? How about song "Night Stalkers"?

[@windog551]

It's brand new music maybe.

[@donbeck5109]

This would fit right in on Death Magnetic. It’s long. It is repetitive. It’s crunchy. New Megadeth is pure speed metal. It’s amazing!

[@mattgraham2835]

this song has a great groove

[@brianplaysgames7456]

Why do you assume Darkness is dude? Darkness can easily be a woman.

[@percrunner1433]

It’s boring. It’s not bad…but it’s offensively mid.

[@ettio]

This guy is right. Very weak song

[@mztweety1374]

“If darkness had a son, he’d be my ex” Or, whatever papa Het said😂💜🤟🏾🔥🎸🥁🥞👉🏾

[@MadisonDanois16]

LOL

[@windog551]

people make fun of Lars but he is good even though it sounds basic. He holds the whole song teogether.

[@RebelGaming4U]

Yeah basic or not it's still good, and he is making big money doing it too. So who are we to judge? 😆

[@fixxxer6663]

Hmmm. Maybe Darkness is the Mother then ,duh.

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

The Black album is better. The Unforgiven..... no cool transitions

[@johnpierce2095]

its like u keep waiting for them to kick it into their speed metal but never happens lol

[@michaelraymond3611]

Metallica already was speed metal

[@cedricterry9533]

Bro, WHAT?! You’ve had a month to apologize. Check the same song on Jimmy Kimmel live a few weeks ago. This is a BLACK MAN telling YOU that you’re WRONG! Actually, I know you dig it!

[@KevinDurbin]

I've listened/followed the whole "Metallica" thing for lots of years. I have a love/dislike/hate type thing with them. This new album and the upcoming songs I really seem to love!! Not as "metallic" as the earlier stuff, but ok

[@iconfresh7406]

Same problem as in always with "newer" (past 1991) Metallica. Its too long and it overstays its welcome.

[@darknessveils8810]

finally someone said it also, i agree 100% with u matt the song is repetitive as all hell super boring that main riff is cool but waayy overused...

[@hellhound6999]

I like the song, but I hate the tone of the instruments, and the production.

[@Djcimofficial]

Nothing special, new Megadeth crushes tallica

[@CoupSounds]

That's pretty much how I feel about all Metallica since the Black Album. It's just recycled riffs and totally uninspiring. I think I'm just over traditional heavy metal tbh.

[@shadow_man9897]

Do more slipknot reactions

[@shadow_man9897]

Anyone agree with me?

[@carlos10016552]

Couldn't agree more with Matt.

[@rickeccles7893]

This one is sadly a bit of a dud. Actually like the previous 2 tracks but someone really should have been on hand for editing this track down and I hate to say it but I feel that Kirk needs to leave the solos alone for a while, maybe have more of a breakdown approach?

[@maikelvandebovenkamp]

Good comment mate.....the whole song is the same

[@horusheresy6949]

One of the WORST songs of all time

[@Thiago.Carvalho15]

A modern couple is made up of a person who likes "If Darkness Had a Son" and a person who hates "If Darkness Had a Son"!

[@willyviitala1231]

It is not that..great is it? Compare to the likes of Orbit Culture (Metallica 2.0).

[@BERSERKERKINGREVIEWS]

🤘orbit culture is easily the new evolution of Metallica

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

Black album..... kill 'em all blend

[@kevman8396]

Sorry if I offend anyone but to me it sounds like Kirk Hammett’s solos all sound the same since the Black album. No variety and with the same tone

[@Feercholain]

There's some cool soloing on Load and Reload but yeah you're right, nothing interesting in the past 20 years. Maybe All. Nightmare Long solo, maybe

[@karlbecker8775]

First, I am a HUGE Metallica fan. That said, I'm not a mindless idiot. I completely agree with you Mat. Musically, is wasn't bad. It was too drawn out and repetitious. I wouldn't worry too much about your subs fleeing the channel. ;)

[@supriyadiadi8148]

Next reaction VOB "ENTER SANDMAN Metalica cover VOB BAND 3 GIRLS HIJABERS from 🇮🇩 LIVE AT ( FRANCE)TRANS MUSICALES DE RENNES 2021👍 AMAZING 🤟

[@ronyhasan4720]

I think if you’re a Metallica fan you have to give a shout out to them that they’ve been doing this for over 40 years and I listen to all the reactor say oh they’re not what they used to be all they don’t got it. Oh this is mid Taliga. You know it’s like I want to see if you in your job have the same passion after 40 years they’re still pumping out music I’m not knocking you you your review is great I mean yes it is repetitive. I will agree with you to that extent, but Show respect for respects do metallica deserves to have the ring kissed. They’ve definitely earned their stripes they can afford to have a couple of misfires here and there, and to them it’s not misfires is their artist they’re creating music so the art they create is the art they want to create you as the fan it is your right to interpret the art. Anyway, you want me I’m a solid fan, I’m just saying in a nutshell, just give the band a break at the age of 60 to still be pumping out music and even give you something to react to is amazing the argument here is the arrangement and placement of the words the refs, the repetitiveness of certain things but I feel like I want a quote and episode of the Sopranos it’s not how big the envelope is is what have you earned for me today that’s what a lot of these KZbin reactors are acting like what has metallica done for me today it’s like one repetitive song in a race decades of great music

[@platinumsandtrophies8625]

I have a pipebomb nothing to do with metallica though the mental cruelity album a hill to die on is better than lorna shores last album pain remains

[@adam54650]

I love Metallica but that riff goes on for days and doesn't really change up much! It was a safe song for them. They are way better than this! I agree with Matt..running out of ideas as a band but it's still Metallica!

[@supriyadiadi8148]

Next reaction VOB "GOD ALLOW ME PLEASE TO PLAY MUSIC 'MV VOB Band ROCK 3 HIJABERS from 🇮🇩👍 AMAZING SUPER TALENTED 👍

[@peterblissett9076]

Totally agree with you Mat !!!Its a quite dis-jointed song , not impressed either

[@nightmarecoins8265]

Hey will you guys be reacting to alex terrible song from the game atomic heart if you do hold on for a ride its awsome

[@James-hh1lq]

you’ve got City hands Metallica you’ve been counting money all your life

[@jayosmond8374]

This song is a snoozefest after a minute 30.

[@reabec10]

Can you react to the new SYLOSIS song deadwood

[@jacobgant6118]

🤘💀☠️

[@Frosty65]

You should react to Enda Vinera- Death’s Calling!

[@dominicwainaina3960]

I see both sides of your opinions. I honestly give it a 5/10

[@georgemarko8403]

Darkness is mother

[@lukem5787]

So you liked it?

[@tunit6458]

Nice Song!

[@enricobarresi5369]

Sono completamente d'accordo con te Mat! Sembra davvero che abbiano finito le idee ed abbiano preso pezzetti di altre loro canzoni e buttate dentro 😅

[@stefciko5831]

Che noia che siete

[@tanyaseal237]

Uhh! Yeah. That would pretty much be a one time, Yeah I heard it. That's about it. Love you guys❤

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Well, technically it's not stated whether darkness is a female

[@MatandChelsReact]

It makes way more sense when you state it that way honestly! So Darkness is his mother and Temptation is his father.

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

@@MatandChelsReact Yup! Hope you guys are having a great weekend

[@MatandChelsReact]

You too!

[@nolanschwartz4155]

I think After their first new album ‘Hardwired to self destruct’ they dug themselves into a deep hole they couldn’t get out of. Metallica sucks ass now. Old Metallica will always be my favorite! This song ‘If Darkness Had A Son’ has an old school Metallica vibe to it and I love it! Probably my favorite song on the unreleased Album so far.

[@satyrcreekergang4985]

I miss the metal days. They have gone rock N roll in their older days. And I'm a big Metallica fan. I can still listen to the Music but I miss the feeling inside I felt in the Master of puppets days. 😔 They got too big and they are not hungry anymore. Stay safe 🤘🇺🇲🇩🇰🤘

[@Beanes789]

Song is still better than the whole St. Anger album lol I just like that this album seems to be more of their older selves than the last couple.

[@BERSERKERKINGREVIEWS]

I get there old but damn ever sense st anger they went down hill. Definitely when they was younger they sounded so much better. 😢

[@Worldwide505]

*Please React Recently Oscar Winning Song 👉 (Naatu Naatu From Movie "RRR")* .'"

[@MightyPee]

Metallica's work has been this way since Hardwired, IMO. One or 2 riffs at most per song. Can't stand their stuff since then. Feeling you, man. Thought the exact same thing.
