NEW METALLICA Reaction and Playthrough! If Darkness Had A Son | Rocksmith Guitar Cover

[@Ayrtoes]

I agree with you on the length of the song. On first listen I kept thinking "So it's gonna end now, right?" and then it just kept going.

[@iamwekilledit]

The thing with Kirk is we know he has it in him to write good shit. His solo recordings he released last year were so good and I feel like James and Lars hold him back to this more stock-like solo techhnique. Lars loves wah and I wish Kirk would branch out on these solos.

[@HamsterCrusher13]

exactly true

[@lepermessiyah5823]

pretty sure it was when they were recording Death Mag that Kirk had wrote a solo for a track, came in and showed it to Lars when he was recording the solo for the song, and Lars complained that it sounded 'written' as opposed to being in the moment with the recording. I dont think Lars should have that much input into Kirks solos as I honestly think this might be a recurring theme since the Black album. And the fact that without a guiding hand (Bob Rock was a massive influence in direction for Unforgivens solo) Kirk reverts to what he is comfortable with. It such a shame as in his prime in the 80s, he was a completely different in terms of creativity and impact.

[@BabyDiamond18]

KIRK loves wah, hes said in numerous interviews that he'll use the wah pedal as much as he damn well pleases and that he does it for himself, idk where you got any of that besides your own imagination

[@iamwekilledit]

There are literally numerous videos from death magnetic and hardwired where Lars wants Kirk to use more wah. You actually made shit up that you think i said lmao. i never once said Kirk doesnt like wah, you made that shit up. all i said was i wish he would write more solos like he made in his solo EPs, and i mentioned lars likes wah a ton. that doesnt mean i think kirk HATES wah. fucking relax and get better reading comprehension lmao@@BabyDiamond18

[@konger6069]

If Wahness had a son it would be kirk

[@Rowanexen]

Someone in chat said "I wish people understood people made music for themself first" and YES. NOBODY SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THAT. Metallica haven't given up or any of that. They're making music that they want to make and if it's abnormal and/or simple so what?

[@mirkecWii]

Lets hear it everyone TEM TEI SCHON

[@AlexWhite202]

14 times he said "TeMpTaTiOn!"

[@carrasco921]

It’s not a verse it’s a shout

[@mirkecWii]

@Pedro A.C its not a verse its shite

[@Aidn_Whlr]

I like this song so far more than others Thanks Chain

[@lessiebeahan3487]

effing loved this a ton. insane and super unique. Really cool band, super talented, pretty eclectic 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewpappas9311]

I like the vibe of the song, it's cool and I thought Kirk's solo was pretty good as well. Definitely has some reminiscence of Load-era Metallica imo

[@TheKereberus]

Yeah. Kirk has phoned it in hard the last two albums. I almost cringe whenever I feel a solo section coming up. It’s predictable at this point. Let’s do some bends, add some wah, shred up and down the fretboard and move on. Summarizes every solo lately. It feels like he’s not even playing to the same song, like he records a bunch of random shit and they just cut it up and paste it into every song. It’s sad because he’s capable of much better if his solo album is anything to go by.

[@lepermessiyah5823]

Yes it does suck compared to his old stuff, but without hating on Lars, it seems like he is a massive influence on Kirks playing on the albums since DM at least.

[@lewisgrant7622]

That reminds me are we not gonna mention that fcking solo from murder one

[@_ProTrax]

Metallica just phoning it in holy shit 6 minutes of a gallop sure is interesting

[@mirkecWii]

What boggles me the most is all the support they are getting for these dumb songs

[@bigmfzack]

@@mirkecWii i like the song man

[@plm6523]

@@mirkecWii Yeah it's crazy, 95% of what im seeing is positive feedback. I find their new songs to be lazy and uninspired, especially this one. I seriously get second hand embarrassment from listening to this song.

[@jag-stang29]

i enjoy the song even tho its super lazy i just really like the vibe it has

[@MrMOGHammer]

@@plm6523 congratulation then you are the precious 5% that is always in the wrong. Have a nice day man!

[@GalutiaFamilyChannel]

I actually really dig this album! It actually reminds me of master of puppets

[@LordShadowZ]

I really liked the first single they put out from the album, but the other 2 have been very meh to me.

[@SarkusMalarkus]

The new Megadeth song sounds great

[@niilo8481]

Of course. its a Judas preast cover after all

[@carrasco921]

They should had a riff after the chorus instead of going back to the main riff

[@MrMOGHammer]

They have a riff after the chorus. It’s called the main riff

[@SouthernAssault]

Def my favorite of the three singles. But hopefully the rest of the album is a better.

[@Brendan-wk2xj]

This is the best song from 72 Seasons, Metallica killed this song! 🎉🤘🏻

[@Deano_666]

Big time grower for me. I didn't like it at first but its a banger.

[@lewisgrant7622]

It’s not the best song on the album

[@cedricterry9533]

I dig that joint, bro. Remember, they’re in their 60’s, yet I was impressed with your guitar shit. Check the same joint on Jimmy Kimmel live a few weeks ago, I fuckin dig it, bro. Again, you did that shit on the guitar. #RESPECT #METALLICA4EVER

[@mattgraham2835]

great song i enjoy it alot

[@atikaj.8087]

respect man..wow

[@Blake-Johnson99]

Hey chainbrain did you know there was a clip of you featured in all that remains' fall of ideals 15 year anniversary documentary?

[@ladesgracia7723]

Hey man have you lisented to Kirk Hammet 'portals'? If you haven't I recommend it to you, he playa fine solos on that album

[@lewisgrant7622]

They should’ve called the song temptation theyve said it that many times

[@jag-stang29]

id say my ratings of these songs would be 1. Screaming Suicide 2. IDHAS 3. Lux Peeterna i just find lucks midterna kinda boring and too radio friendly for this band (keeping in mind my 4th most listened to artist on spotify is the weeknd) but i know a lot of people like it so i dont really care glad people could enjoy something i couldnt. would absolutely slap live tho

[@at0mic174]

this metallica album has been so meh hope they turn it up on the other songs

[@jay-kl6vk]

yea the 1st single was really good, but this one and screaming suicide was kinda meh for me

[@plm6523]

@@jay-kl6vk Yeah. Lux was decent, screaming suicide and this one were both very underwhelming. Definitely not going into my playlist thats for sure.

[@Spitfire_1940]

I find this song good to listen to but from a technical standpoint it's pretty meh, granted I'm a listener and not a good guitar player.

[@esokiss921]

That doesn't matter. I feel like when songs try to force technicality it sounds lame. This songs a banger

[@christian-helsting4195]

Thought this was all BS untill I realized he's playing a 7 string haha bad ass.

[@TylerSampson51]

Definitely my least favorite of the three.

[@loganmcconnell2000]

Lol and I thought the new A7x was bad

[@GoAndrewKuiken]

They have given up completely on songwriting. SWIMMING BIKING ICE SKATING ROLLER SKATING ICE CLIMBING (insert word that ends with -ing)

[@nickomatick8394]

If Kurt Cobain made a song for Metallica.

[@lewisgrant7622]

Im sorry but I honestly don’t like this song.

[@thegreek69]

Repetitive, boring, and way too long

[@lewisgrant7622]

Seriously what are these bloody lyrics

[@GameHeroEats]

Typical kirk solo

[@xXBTOWN360Xx]

This was underwhelming

[@xXBTOWN360Xx]

The song, chain killed it

[@menta_silos]

lmfao, AI generated Metallica guitar solo
