I did not have a traditional wedding. I walked to this song to my forever mate. whom I now have been married to for 39 yrs and Nothing Else Matters!!!!

[@dianthis]

Nice! ❤

[@JenniAngel13]

Crazy, considering this song was off The Black Album from 1992. 32 yrs ago lol

[@patchesblue155]

I get so tickled listening to you and others who find out that rock and metal weren't just noise and long hair, there were outstanding musicians and lyricists in those groups. Glad to see and hear your delight in discovering them!

[@timrobinson9192]

Well said, here here 👍👍👍

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Even back in the day alot of rap/hip-hop/etc. heads were into Metallica too. I think it was the lyrics that caught their attention and ardor.

[@VickiSlater-mj3hg]

This is one of my favorite songs!💜 Beautiful !!!

[@ElkSlayer8172]

That is the Beautiful thing about music people can take it in their own way 🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🤘

[@chelseahaley8350]

The whole Black album is fire, but my favorite Metallica albums are the S&M albums!! They're backed by The San Francisco Symphony, and it's a whole different experience!! No leaf clover, and Hero of the day are 2 of my favorite songs off of those albums! Definitely worth a peep! And James is 💯 a poet!!

[@jenniferclark8051]

No Leaf Clover! S&M albums are absolute fire!

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

I agree. I suggested No Leaf Clover awhile back. Hopefully it's on the list.

[@juliagrant3299]

I love that album!!!

[@davidashe6532]

The last consert I saw was Metallica in Phoenix AZ around 1998. Most hard rock bands do Ballads which are usually my favorites. This song to me is one to sit back, close your eyes and feel it. Depending on ones life experiences it could mean different things to each individual listining to it.

[@yzolakitchi]

Really appreciate you going in blind. I worked with a contemporary artist who held the view that people who didn't understand art, shouldn't bother going to art galleries. He wanted everyone to be fully aware of the context, the meaning the artist had intended when creating a piece. It hurt my soul to hear him say that - art of any kind, be it visual or sound is for everyone and can have a profound affect on us. I worked in a museum where an Ikebana floral arrangement moved a middle-aged man to tears. I ended up hugging him as he explained it had suddenly reminded him of a recently deceased friend. So I don't believe limit should be put on interpretations and gut emotional responses to created works. As for this song, I always took the lyrics as being about his solidarity with his band members, being open and vulnerable when singing and through the lyrics he writes, that nothing matters more to him than creating authentic art - that's my interpretation anyhoo. Like you - I enjoy going digging into meanings and intentions later. 🥰 A stunning track, so glad you listened.

[@lisajenkins3202]

One of their greatest songs and the video/song has a very deep meaning is "One". Synonymous with the movie Johnny Get Your Gun. These boys completely jam out in this song. I personally think its their best song!! Check it out. Awesome!!

[@kristinacuppers]

They are live so great!!Go and watch them live,they are so great!Love them!

[@murder13love]

This was my introduction to Metallica about 25 years ago and i never looked back 🖤

[@TheMrlovegoodtimes]

When i watch your videos it dosent fell like you listen to the musik so much. This song is so beautiful.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

One of my favourite songs ever!

[@frankthiele6539]

for me the song is about by myself, trust myself, i am great how i am, no matter what you say. you can't bring me down.

[@playerg0ne]

Played it on our Wedding. Love it forever!

[@carlgibson285]

If you're on a "don't tread on me" trip, Metallica actually have a song called Don't Tread On Me that I think you'd like. It's from the same album as this one.

[@QuantumAssassin]

One from Metallica is one of the best songs ever about the war in Vietnam. I am blown away every time I hear it they have so many hits it is nuts.

[@mandarinlearner]

It came out many years after the end of the Vietnam War and is about Hetfeld's girlfriend, not the war

[@witchfromthenorth5294]

Music means what it means for you. My son take this as a love song, i think of family and my other son sees all of his close friends

[@danielanderson8980]

For decades, I interpreted this song as simply living life on your own terms and being true to yourself. It wasn’t until I hit 40 that I had an epiphany that the lyrics were a love song. However, even knowing it’s a love song, now, I still believe it can easily be interpreted in other ways. The best songs always can be. Check out “Don’t Tread On Me” from this same album. With your appreciation for patriotism, you will feel that one.

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

Finally got to see Metallica in concert last November in Detroit... They did a show with Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills.. One hell of a show and such a stage presence...

[@marcieharreld286]

They dedicated this song to their fans!!💜💜🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🥁🎧🎹🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@sharonclement-i4f]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnoneill6077]

1 more, saw interview where sir elton john said this was one of the best songs he has heard. Great praise

[@reginafarley1325]

You should watch "Green Day Bohemian Rhapsody. You can see the symbols vibrating

[@AprilJMoon]

It does not matter what ANY song actually means just so long as it ellicits something to the listener.

[@alexanderjrbonnevie3621]

you'd be pleasantly surprised how many rock bands have love songs. check out "the flame still burns" by foreigner and compare it to "hot blooded". cheap trick's "the flame", white snake with "too many tears". many, many more songs and bands that break the all too common misconception of rock bands being all shouting, angst and anger- specially bands from the mid 60s to 70s, some even up to the 80s.

[@estebanrusso709]

never is late yoo i love metallica. i have the oportunity to see them in live. Here in Argentina xD

[@tkmsupreme7046]

Dont tread on me is a song on their black album

[@paulozavala3232]

If you wanna learn James in to the core and go in for a very personal journey then listen to The unforgiven 1,2 and 3. Its a musical journey in time and personal growth. You will learn alot about Metallica and specially about James!

[@kellygriffith1773]

METALLICA IZ THE SHIZ

[@rubezahl5298]

You should listen to "Fade to black"

[@jcwalter9973]

Love this song. You’d be surprised how many weddings this play at. Even orchestra, or just a string version is beautiful. Dave Grohl (I know wrong band but give me a moment) said he never reveals specifically what the lyrics mean to any song. When he plays live in front of 15,000 people, he want the song to have 15,000 meanings. Every single person should fell their own way, have their own meaning. Love your channel. Please try some Foo Fighters (y’all knew it was coming). The Pretender or All My Life.

[@willcool713]

Fyi, super high fidelity, 8 or 16 channel reel to reel decks are still a thing, and TDK still makes the best tape. Many science and medical applications -- astronomy, neural activity, seismology, cardiac rhythms, etc -- still make primary recordings in analog format so as not to miss anything which digital fidelity might mask.

[@IvIidnight]

Rock can be, and often is, amazing lyrically, but don't miss the fact that 3 people (bands like Chevelle) all the way up past 13 people (Slipknot) are not just playing instruments, in sync with each other, and making them all make sense/fit together. And then get up on a stage and do it all in front of thousands of people.

[@robertlabella3518]

I'm a metal head, check out love of a lifetime by Firehouse

[@timmoser3526]

You’re listening to and learning our music, the joy you express makes me interested in Ralp and hip hop that’s not hate inspired AKA gangtsta Drop us a list so we can learn your kind of music!

[@tedlong2010]

The only song James did the solo on. He says he’s not a soloist.

[@NewKarmaStarr]

You should check out the live version of this song on Howard Stern Metallica with Miley Cyrus singing. It’s great!!

[@Tommy-he7dx]

There are Bands that are a huge Influence on Metallica that you should react to. Diamond Head - Am I Evil Budgie - Breadfan Angel Witch - Angel Witch These 3 would be a great start. There style of Metal is called "NWOBHM" or "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal".....that is the sound of early Iron Maiden, who were also an influence, but you've heard them :)

[@kathyjaissle6791]

I believe the song is about his relationship with his girlfriend, and nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks about their relationship because he knows what it’s about and he trusts in it and in her.

[@blurpledragon2779]

James Hetfield got barz BP , Lol he writes so deep stuff !! The cool thing with music there is what inspired the artist and then when they release the song it is now ours to apply and interpret how we want . James Hetfield has said he doesn't like to give his meaning on the music so that fans can figure out what the songs mean to them .

[@mornadu]

Youre my favorite youtuber. Love Metallica too 😅

[@BrotherPraetus]

This was the song picked for the bride and groom's first dance at my sister's first wedding.

[@cristealaurentiu2440]

Real music is played on instruments. Metallica are GOAT!

[@michellepetrillo2235]

🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️ More rock, please! I’m a rocker who fell in love with Ren, and subbed when you reacted to him. If you want another rock song to react to that will get you a ton of views, check out Def Leppard “Pour Some Sugar On Me” official video w/ 120 million views. I love watching reactors see it for the first time!! You have to watch the video closely- there’s a hidden gem in there that you will miss if you aren’t looking. Do NOT read up about the band before you react!!! It’s a surprise!! You will love it! 💪🏼❤️

[@ericgrondahl8330]

He missed his old lady when he started writing the song. But he also has said that it's about their relationship with their fans.

[@omarfernandez1620]

Try ¨Wherever i may roam¨ next time for a same vibe!

I'm still hoping you do some Thin Lizzy at some point, specially since you use their song as your theme.

[@hplitzko8477]

Would like to see your reaction to Paolo Nutini Iron Sky Abbey Road Live Session

[@daning9415]

The only version of this song I’ve found more beautiful is when they played with the Berkeley Symphony on their S&M (sound and music) album

[@brocklam]

I love this song so much that I have a tattoo nothing else matters Got it with my daughter she came out to me as being gay so I got the tattoo to show her how much I love her and (nothing else matters)

[@hailzmoon4659]

First song I learnt to play on guitar.

[@erikaronska1096]

I love your reactions! I'm 53. The first time I heard Metallica was "Kill 'Em All" when I was 13/14, so I'm more of an old school fan. This is a great song, but not one of my favorites, just being honest.

[@tubelious]

fun fact: James haven't had to sing this track live in more than 20 years - the crowd does it for him.

[@Soulja4ChristWeAreAtWar]

For me, it's about my relationship with God.

[@TwistedSisler]

As someone who grew up listening to rock my whole life and is sort of just within the past few years getting into hip hop, it's interesting to me how rap and hip-hop sort of have a similar stigma about the other that it's all just incomprehensible trash that's unrelatable and shallow. Both genres (as do all I think) have that on the surface level, but if you dig into the legends and find the good stuff, there's great stories and music in both.

[@rainermarb5528]

[@jwarrior852]

You want to know your connection to Metallica? You play Thin Lizzy's Boys Are Back in Town every video. Metallica loves Thin Lizzy!! Metallica covered Thin Lizzy's cover of an old Irish folk song, Whiskey In a Jar. BOOM!!! Your next Metallica reaction 😂

[@scottclark3761]

I always thought about it as me and my friends.....we're going through life with each other. I could see it being about a girl, and I think James did write it for a girlfriend. I just thought it was about the band....the band being a kind of family.

[@michaelmurray3800]

Check out some Ministry - Jesus built my hot rod.

[@ericaherrera3513]

They actually received a lot of flack for this song from fans stating it wasn’t metal enough. They used an orchestra and people didn’t like it. I love it.

[@ArumesYT]

Yeah for me it was the other way around. I was a Metallica fan, but after their first S&M album I moved on to symphonic metal. Metallica made me realise that metal just needs an orchestra. 🙂

[@bgibeast]

@@ArumesYT S&M was my favorite album even after loving Metallica before. Then I found Nightwish and I am just an addict.

[@bajsiran]

Or could it be that metallica moved away from the Thrash genra ? if you like ''thrash metal this song aint for you... got nothing to do with Thrash metal.... dont think people cared about the orchestra,,

[@licentiouslust5318]

this was always a love song to me my husband used to sing it to me before we were married mmfjdfhgj years ago... it always brings me to tears I miss Him.. it will always be the sweetest love ballad he ever sang to me. and I thank Mettalica for creating it.

[@Tully_23_32]

My funeral song, the San Francisco Orchestra Live version

[@timometsanoja9666]

This is one of the best pieces of music ever. It is about the unbreakable connections we form with our loved ones. This is about James and his girlfriend, but the message is universal!

[@stangovers7441]

Check out Carolne Baran's version with Post Modern Jukebox. She makes you really feel the lyrics. She's 15 years old, and totally amazing. I highly recommend that you explore this.

[@SoulReaver904]

I always thought this was about Cliff, especially with James' reluctance to release it.

[@timometsanoja9666]

@@SoulReaver904 the core was James and his girlfriend at the time, but as it is with many of the Metallica songs, it is very applicable to many situations and has multiple meanings... For some of the band this could have been an ode to Cliff too.

[@jamiem4941]

The song is about his girlfriend at the time and how much he missed her when he was on tour. Also Elton John has said several times that it’s the most beautiful song ever written. You can actually listen to Elton John zoom call James on the Howard Stern Show to tell him what he thinks about the song. James gets very emotional about what Elton says.

[@IvIidnight]

Didn't know Elton said that.

[@johnphillipsjr7238]

Everyone one knows that. And that’s not what Elton John said. Quit passing along false bullshit.

[@gregw74]

If you enjoyed this one you should do a reaction to "The Unforgiven" (the original).

[@davidsullivan5231]

I would suggest, "Fade to black"

[@pastorofmuppets13]

The beauty of this song is it can be about so many things. A relationship with a loved one, a relationship with a higher power, the band's relationship and trust in each other, or to the fans of Metallica that have followed and supported them for years. When this is done live, and you are part of that crowd singing... it is transcendental. It feels like you are part of a family. The band refers to their fans as the "Metallica Family," I have followed them since their beginning and now have 3 generations (me, my sons, and grandkids) going to Met concerts. It's an amazing thing!

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Absolutely. Like fine art, it is open to interpretation. Even their song .aater Of Puppets, which is definitely about drugs and how they take over your life and control you, is open for each person to feel which vice or aspect of life it is about for them.

[@S.A.M.O.]

I think reacting without the homework is so much more authentic. Also, it allows you to interpret it the way you see it without other influences. Great job BP.

[@tinapatterson5022]

Right On !!✌

[@vickiejenkins-tripp5994]

Exactly, thank you!

[@mysteryxmike]

I like that the "homework" he does, happens DURING the video! It's just so fun to see more than just a reaction from someone who's passionate about learning more and more

[@netwinters5943]

This is about when you are in the most beautiful relationship in the world that nobody else understands...but who cares? Nothing else matters. Love it.

[@flossie0404]

The collaboration Metallica did with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra was amazing.

[@HR_sailor66]

Heard it a thousand times still gives me chills every time. So melodic yet heavy.

[@IvIidnight]

"Open mind for a different view. And nothing else matters."

[@tedjohnson2091]

This song is off the Black Album( album 5) James wrote this song about a girlfriend but didn’t want to release it.( so you’re on point). Later Lars ( the drummer) insisted on recording it and it became Metallica’s anthem. It resonated their journey and became a tribute to each other. By this time they were on their 3rd bassist ( Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton, Jason Newsted). 2nd guitarist ( Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammett). McGovney left, Mustaine was kicked out but Burton died in a tour bus wreck in Germany. Burton was a musical student but not at Juilliard. The rest were just teenage rockers. Burton’s influence is apparent in a lot of their music( especially their earlier albums).

[@schumifannreins295]

Cliff Burton died in a car crash in Sweden.

[@2-1inffwa97]

⁠@@schumifannreins295It was a bus in Sweden

[@JustKona]

Wasn't there a reason or something about Cliff Burton wanting to sleep and argued or won that spot to sleep on the tourbuss? Sad day when he died.

[@janeberggren6057]

It was in Sweden Cliff died

[@christinahosey7-4-72]

Cliff and Lars flipped a coin or something like that for a certain bunk. Cliff won the bunk and the driver claimed he hit black ice but James ran up and down the road in his underwear and never saw any black ice.

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was a love song that James Hetfield (guitar/ vocals) wrote to his then-girlfriend while he was away on tour w/ Metallica... The other members were shocked that a love song was going on Metallica's 5th album in 1991 (the massive-selling 'black' album) and 'Nothing else matters' became a pop hit in 1992... Sadly, James and her broke up after the record was done... Metallica never made religious songs - they always made song bashing religious zealots because James lost his mom to cancer as a teen after she refused treatment... She was a devout Christian science follower who believed that 'God' would heal her through prayer and faith. That loss affected James Hetfield for the rest of his life... He wrote 'The God that failed' about his mom's misplaced faith... He wrote 'The Unforgiven' and "Dyers' eve" about his parents failing him in life (His dad left when he was a kid... He experienced a lot of abuse growing up and drove him to alcoholism).

[@stigpetersen9701]

The Black Album ( named “Metallica”) released in 1991 catapulted these guys from being the world’s greatest band in rock / metal to the greatest band on the planet in all music….they had a three year long World Tour with this album….some old heads turned away from them ( claiming they sold out) but millions and millions new fans surrendered to them sending Metalica into eternal stardom

[@tracydycer7274]

Please do Fade to Black. You will be amazed at how many people come out and say the song saved their lives. Crucial Metallica song if you’re a true fan!

[@lordoverflow]

One great thing about Metallica is all the money they have donated to the charities all around the world.

[@primoguerrero7928]

You gotta watch the clip where Elton John videocalls a show that had Metallica on, starts praising this song.. James Hetfield cant help but shed a couple of tears hearing one of the most respected musicians in the world talk about a personal love song written by him, an introverted orphan who reached world fame while battling alcoholism .. Imagine the cocktail of emotions he must have had writing this ..

[@TheDivayenta]

That was on Howard Stern when they performed it with Miley Cyrus. Spectacular.

[@MT-jr2vm]

Hetfield wrote the song initially about missing his girlfriend while they were on the road but was meant to be interpreted however you’d like. I hardly listen to the song as a fan but when I do hear it I really appreciate its beauty and Hetfields writing. His solo is iconic.

I've heard this played at a wedding and a funeral, and it was completely appropriate in both settings. The best songs mean something different for each person listening without negating the composer's original intent, and this is one of the greatest. Huge respect to you for opening yourself to new musical experiences. Love the fact that you're prepared to make yourself a little vulnerable by doing them completely blind. Have you thought about exploring some classical pieces? I think it may deepen your appreciation for other musical genres and how musicians go about their craft. Just an idea ✌️

[@roxanneherrman2107]

Thats the great thing about music! You interpret it the way you feel it!

BP~ I LOVE your reactions!!❣️These are songs that I’ve loved for 30-40 years!🙋‍♀️🙌 You are very open, sincere & genuine. I’m not sure if you’d even care, but I can ONLY watch reactions with you, alone. I can’t watch when that other guy is with you. He doesn’t take anything seriously and he distracts you from the spirit and key points of the songs.

[@shirleygarcia8092]

James wrote this song because he missed his gf at the time. I was in my first interracial relationship when this song came out so this song became our song. The black album, the album this song was on, was the first album that I got into The Mighty Met! I have been a lifetime fan since then. 💜 Also the naked pic was his gf. 😁

I first heard this at age of 14. Relationship song. That's what I thought. Mid 20s. God. Now. Government telling you how to live. I think they put this together to represent all those.
