Metallica “Fade to Black” one of the best written and composed songs ever

Stevie you are a master at breaking down bars and lyrics. I’ve heard this song like 800 times and you broke it down better than I could in one listen. You’re in a class of your own among all the “reactors” in terms of getting in the artist’s mind space.

Metallica doesn't scream

[@osamaqtaitat]

“Screaming” such a bullshit stereotype!! It’s just only one thing in metal, and not everybody is doing it, and everybody doesn’t do it the same way, style, phrasing!! It’s just a small shit, yes, some sub-genres do it more than the others, but metal is a very wide genre with complex and creative composition and songwriting! You can see metal as the sum of all antitheses! Fast, and slow, heavy, and soft, melodic, and rhythmic, vocal fries, and clean vocals, operatic wide range voices, and gritty vocals!!

Growing up in the 90s I used listen to this song and think yeah you cant tell me what to do and really got the blood flowing. After having my own seeing him grow, there is a whole other side I couldn't see before. To me this is a warning. I never realized what young boys were like till I raised one, and you MUST instill rules and discipline. It must be done but it in a way that builds the structure needed but not the animosity to society at large.

[@wowhead1]

Here's what ppl who think metallica is simpler than some of these "harder" metal bands are missing about their complexity and beauty in how they write: Take the 2nd verse, call to the time signature they are on, and the switch-ups therein. Instead of using end-of-the-line rhyming, there's a soft rhyme. "A tired man they see no longer caaares" then it's soft rhymed to a half-step on the next line "The old man then PREPARES to die regretfully, that old man here is me." They matched this to how they flow musically sometimes. There's countless times this happens in all their music but knowing how/when to describe it in a way others may understand, especially through text and not speech, is difficult. That audible "fitting" of how the song flows and peaks and valleys of just "what your ears tell you" is what makes metallica the best, they fit shit together in ways that just sounds awesome, but it's often hard to explain to those who don't just feel it. I saw a moment where I thought I might be able to catch it properly and verbalize it. I guess if you get it, you get it.

[@dalehammers4425]

This song described the first 40 years of my life and played a huge role in my music list. Took me moving almost 2000 miles away from my family to finally drop some of the rage and hatred I felt towards them. Raised by my psycho grandparents who beat me daily in the name of God, told I wasnt good enough for him so he turned his back on me. Told me my parents would die in prison (which is where they were) and it was my fault. Parents get out and its always my sister that is the favorite, I'd get laughed at to my face if I ever asked for anything, any sort of help at all. Left California a defeated broken man and moved to Kansas to start over. Finally pulling myself off the ground and finding happiness in life. I have learned forgiveness, but sadly not the ability to forget. This and R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion were huge for me growing up. (the grandfather that beat me daily in the name of God happened to be a pastor)

You don’t have to like a genre of music to appreciate it. And it’s great that you are expanding your life by delving into other types of music. I think listening to and appreciating different kinds of music or anything that’s out of the norm in our lives makes us better people and better to each other. You won’t walk past an obvious metal head and not be able to relate to them. And that’s what the world needs- all people to not judge other people. Love your reaction ‘

As a metalhead it is an absolute delight seeing you listen to the old classics and break them down.
