Metallica - Spit Out The Bone REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@francoisdewit8073]

It seems like people that dislike load and reload keeps comparing it to thrash metal albums. These albums are hard rock albums and they are great from a production and song writing perspective.

[@mbochum83]

I've always told people to forget that they're listening to Metallica when they're listening to Load/Reload. If any other band without a history of thrash metal made those two albums they'd be considered great albums.

[@nickcolbert9615]

@FRANCOIS De wit but the band has “metal” in their name!!!! You must see how us old school fans were disappointed

They honestly got FAR better with age too. I hope DH returns to them one day with an open mind...

There are a couple other songs on the record that come close to recapturing the classic 80’s Metallica feel. The first six tunes plus this one (which is the last song on the album) are all pretty good. It’s that middle batch of songs that I’m not a huge fan of.

[@gurnblanston5000]

@@bigalsfoodreviews yep. Your albums are good too.

[@LordSpongy]

Amazing that this album comes out with some SERIOUS bangers and everyone ignored it because people are still up their own asses about Metallica. Load & Reload are amazing albums. Bluesy, smooth, weary and experienced. James really put a ton into the songwriting, it wasn't just heavy metal with metal themes and people shat themselves about it. I'll never understand it. You say they are terrible albums but Load & Reload were full of important songs to the band and it just kinda shows the snobbery in metal when bands go for more personal stuff. Honestly I rarely make a negative comment due to an opinion i disagree with, but i truely do love those two albums and, despite some fat needing to be trimmed and not being an arena banger album like AJFA, there's nothing terrible about them. I'll look the meanest metalist mother in the eye and tell them they're wrong on Load & Reload. They earned that from me with those albums. (I liked the video as a small counter to my slightly negative comment. I respect you like what you like, i don't think you're a snob, but you're just wrong on those albums.)

[@FandangoHoward]

Load and ReLoad suffer from the fact that Metallica aged and matured in their musical tastes while their fan base didn't. Their hardcore fans wanted more MoP, AJFA, shit like that. Load and ReLoad are so far removed from that sound that fans immediately reacted with vitriol and anger. It's a shame, because like you said, James really poured his heart and soul into the lyrics and songwriting.

[@LordSpongy]

@@FandangoHoward I wonder if they released the albums under another Band name as like a slightly different project if it would have been better received.

[@OriginalMiztiki]

@@LordSpongy They absolutely would have been received better.

The Loads to me are also a throwback to the music they listened to growing up & were inspired by. 👊

I love James' vocals prior to the solo in this long... The harmonizing slaps hard.. IMO some of his most inventive and best Metallica vocals ever

[@bigemetalmilitia8462]

All hail the kings. That being said the album isn't all like this lol however it is worth buying. There's enough gems to warrant purchase

[@brianschorr4990]

Dude, this was the first time I really headbanged to Metallica in a long time. The entire album does not sound like this track but it is a solid album overall. The vast majority of the tracks fall into two categories in my opinion: we get those awesome galloping nods to Ride the Lightning, of which the first disc is primarily composed, and doomier mid-tempo cuts that remind me of Sabbath, which make up the bulk of the second disc. Overall, this album reminded me of our days in band camp riding through town being young, invincible, and feeling alive. I have high hopes for the next album.

[@urvermin2682]

god like what are your standards? did nothing on Death magnetic interest you at all? lol

Like a more developed version of old school Metallica. Sadly Cliff is gone, but Rob really sounds good here. Very little to gripe about, this is my kind of Metallica. It's also (for once) them taking advantage of all that experience. Great song and great reaction David!

[@Drescher1984]

My favorite song on this album is Now that we're dead. I would say this is the most old school of all the songs, but it's the best album since Master of Puppets IMO

[@DrewNation86]

Idk Mapster of Puppets is a masterpiece, composition, flow, heavy, thrashy, lyrically, musically and production are all 10/10 this is al good albumn but death magnetic would give it a good run for its position (IMO)

[@BatFan1]

I would say it's their best since The Black Album. It's tough to compare H2SD to the 80s releases since stylistically Hardwired is more diverse. They borrow from everything. If you love the variety then definitely goes in the top 5. If you lean heavily into the thrash stuff then its going to sit somewhere between TBA and the Loads. For me it's a back and forth between this and TBA as being #5. If Kirk's solos were stronger on H2SD no question it'd have a higher position. It's what holds the album back from great to being a classic.

[@Walamonga1313]

I assume you're putting AJFA on another tier? No way Master is their top

[@ellesartelcontar153]

Old school Metallica with touch of new elements here and there. Its a great song and honestly? I havent felt so good in VERY LONG time listening to Metallica as I did with Spit out the Bone. I had this same excitement and goosebumps first time listening to Black Album way back in high school! So I really appreciate them bringing out the stamp-quality elements into their songs again.

[@belliiahmed]

I can't believe people still think Robert is the NEW bassist! He's been in the band for more than 20 years more than any past bassist

[@THEDavidHeretic]

As someone who is currently in a band, who joined 12 years ago to replace their old bassist, I'm still considered the "new guy". I guess I'll be the "new guy" until someone new comes along and replaces someone else in the band....then he/she can be the "new guy".

[@guibox3]

The transition that does it for me is the one right before 'Long live machine'. The chunking into that awesome key change is just incredible. I have said this before on other videos about this song that I will put this up against any thrash from MoP. 30 years after that album and they are still putting this kind of thrash out? That alone makes this song one of their greatest. Love your heart felt reaction. 'Hardwired to Self Destruct' is definitely another thrash song. 'Atlas Rise' is great but if it was just a little bit faster it would have been an epic thrash one too.

Thanks much bruh!

[@athlonen]

You should do a reaction to two videos: 1. "Chi" (the making of Spit out the Bone). You'll get some good insights into what they were doing here. Rob's bass solo is actually James' riff that he made up. They thought not only should Rob introduce that entire midsection, but the fuzz you're hearing is less of a tribute to Cliff (though it is a heavy nod to him), but more of a nod to Geezer Butler There's an old Sabbath or Ozzy song that has that distorted fuzz that is used in this riff. Also, when you listen to the first riff, Lars mentioned that this sounds more like the distant cousin to the riff they used in Metal Militia. But good catch on the references. 2. The Making of "Carl". If you want a tribute to Cliff, you should watch how they made Carl, the guitar. I'll warn you, keep some tissue nearby. The story of that guitar is amazing and the best tribute to Cliff I have ever seen, especially since it is like he is there with them every time they play on stage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppWcfZmwjLmUgrM You will not be disappointed with these, especially Carl.

Does the rest of the album sound like this? Not quite, but it would be what some would consider a return to form. Is the rest of the album good? Yes, other than a couple of a songs. In my wildest dreams, I didn’t expect you to give this a 9. I’m so glad you liked it. There are a few other songs on the album I think you’d like. Hardwired Moth Into Flame Atlas, Rise!

Reload is hit and miss, they have some great songs on it and some they could have left off but you can't hate Load, that album was fantastic. Ideally they could have cut a few songs and released both as one album though. But moving past those if you really hate them, Death Magnetic was a return to form and the last album was decent too. And the black album, 5.3? really??? That was a heavy metal classic!

10:02 This sentiment of thinking what Metallica would sound like with song in classic tones has inspired many KZbin creators. But one in particular that I’d suggest is if Spir out the Bone was written by Slayer. Many people think that’s the best Slayer song in the recent years. Highly recommended.

[@BUM-bz8vc]

As a huge old-school Metallica fan, I felt the same way(as many did) about the Load albums. I think much of it was a feeling of betrayal. However, as a pure music lover, if I listen to those albums(most of the songs, anyway) objectively, ignoring the name of the band, they're actually really good. They're just not the "Metallica" we grew-up w/. Personally, I thought St. Anger sucked more than the Load albums

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I haven't heard anything off St Anger, so I can't make the comparison. Honestly, I don't think I want to hear anything off that album, a lot of commenters have made the same claims as you so I think I'll skip that album and go straight to the last 2 albums.

Love your reaction/analysis. I wish all Mettalica songs were like this...could you imagine? 9.4 a fair score!

[@shaunketterman2985]

** Notice - personal opinions to follow** This song is a gem amongst the rest of the album. There were one or two others that were on the radio, and then to me, a lot of the album felt like filler. The songs aren't bad though, they just aren't what you probably expect from Metallica. It's like Load, and to a lesser extent, Reload. As musical statements on their own, they are full of decently good songs. But for those who expect to hear "Metallica" (or, rather, what they think Metallica need to sound like), they just dont cut it. The first time I heard this song it brought some tears to my eyes. If you haven't listened to much after Justice, there are some other gems amongst Metallica's newer stuff - Moth Into Flame and the title track from this album; The Day That Never Comes off of Death Magnetic. Also - you want to hear (a rendition of) a very new Metallica song with Kill 'Em All James Hetfield? Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4CxlY2dbpqJn5o It's pretty incredible. Better yet - you should react to the above. Really like to see your candid reaction when you hear it.

[@zortlak]

9.4!!!!!! Holy shit dude. Your people should know that it is one of the best scores you ever shared. You reaaaly liked this song and I'm really happy with that. Yeah unfortunately not whole album is like this. I loved the album overall, but Spit Out The Bone, Halo on Fire are the only songs that summons old Metallica soul. But I believe Am I Savage and Hardwired to Self Destruct deserves something around 7-8 for you. Hardwired song really took their 1 week to fully compose and come up with lyrics, and I always think "it was natural to them". It's actually sad that a band's natural gift just too good, but they just ignore it

What "fans" seem to forget is that real musicians create music for their own carthartic needs and not those of the "fan". I even like St Anger (Lulu was a stretch too far though). I think this is easily the best album since Justice, for sure.. maybe even Master. Not every song is incredible but as an overall piece it's a really good album. I thought Death Magnetic was a step in the right direction for the band and this was a leap back to it. Have to remember it's very hard to stay angry, aggressive and edgy when you have matured and are rich beyond your wildest ever dreams but I think they have captured some of the angst and demons within themselves for this album. Pretty sure they released every song as a video via youtube so you don't need to buy the album to check it out and see if you want to part with your $$$...

This reaction is so genuine. I really wish the whole album was like this...but for the most part it's very much a black album/loadish feel. Hardwired is also extremely thrash and kill em all like.

Not the whole album is like this but the are certainly a few songs that takes you back to the old days.

I suggest you listen to Murder One

Your 9.4 rating is actually higher than I expected, but hearing your commentary and my own experience of listening to all of their albums............... I get it. And yeah, I heard the little bass part as well, but when I first heard it, I did not even think about Cliff, but when you played it back, it seemed a little more focused and I could really appreciate it. And yeah, the song could definitely could have been longer; the ending seemed a bit abrupt.

Metallica was my first dip into heavy metal. For me this album got back to there roots. More grungy and chunky...moth to flame is my fav off this album

[@TheNothing6]

I love Metallica. I love how diverse they are. They have the balls to try new things. I love all their albums to be honest, even the ones that get hate.
