I'm 72 and still have Metallica up loud when I drive. Don't headbang anymore because geez, I'm 72.

[@wolfpack9958]

I've always thought the solo at the end was the journey to the afterlife.

[@depechemoderemastered20pl]

And you're right!!! (Well, it's fading at the end) Even, (for me) the double bass kick makes even heavier and more interesting!!

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Love it

[@7BlueDodger]

That solo at the end was always “the end” to me. Like you said, the journey to the afterlife, but also the sound of mourning when someone you love is gone. It encapsulates the tragedy of it all, in one beautiful solo accompanied by the drums and bass.

[@chrissibersky4617]

I feel the backing music is his soul/mind that leaves and travel away and the solo is his body fighting by survival instinct against what he's doing and the closer to death he comes the faster his soul/mind is going and the harder his body is fighting and the end it all fades away.

[@dani08sv]

The late solo is so beautiful, self-explaining without speaking, how it has ups and downs(i can, i cant, i can, i cant, etc) and finally fading out with the intensity of the "ups", that mean what a people can feel in that sitations, in that particular case you feel the power to stay fading. Thats what i get for this solo. Dont forget they write that with only 19 years old, indescribable talent.

THIS SONG SAVED MY LIFE.

[@proudleaf]

This song saved my life. When you are disaffected, lonely and unable to deal with your pain, songs like this help you bring those feelings into a form that you can deal with. It did and still does. Great reaction !

[@autumnwaters574]

It saved me too!! I was 14 & didn’t have the vocabulary to express my suicidal ideation … playing this song on repeat helped me deal with my emotions!!! THANKS TALLICA

[@hardikkumar7490]

The day that never comes by metallica, u will love it . It has the same vibe as this song.

[@DominicMai]

Absolutely agree with that!

[@cachaisnafu1010]

When you started to "go outside your Box" and started Metal songs to do reactions, you then realized all your life that you have been lied to. Metal music is not bad for you, demonic, anti-religion, etc. I am proud of you. You are genuine, sincere, empathetic, basically being who you really are as a person. Now you are a true and independent free thinking Human Being. Welcome Home. :) Cachai

[@Sinnbad21]

This song, One, and Creeping Death all contain some of the most dramatic and climactic endings to a song I’ve ever heard

[@Will_Wel]

That you do pause and you do give a lengthy analysis and break down at the end of the songs. Is one of the reasons I dig your Channel. I watch pretty much all the reactors. And a lot of them just let the song play and don't comment on it at all and then sign out. That doesn't make me come back to their channels. We want to hear your opinion your emotions your analysis etc. If I wanted to just hear the song I would go just listen to the song.

[@yehoshuagoldstein7392]

Agreed. You have a great passion for music and your reactions are really enjoyable to watch

[@l.a.oskarqueenny1990]

You said it in Orion reaction, the music, the guitars are speaking to you, but in that final solo from fade to black song, the guitar is yelling at you..... Yeah, new sub here going through your Metallica reaction videos, peace out ✌️

[@Athanais157]

FTB is my all time favorite song by Metallica. I suggest Metallica - The Outlaw Torn Live 2019 Mannheim 🤘🏼I know itˋs live but you have to see James and how he is in this song. I was at this concert and it was really mindblowing. 🤘🏼

[@WyattMartin]

I love it when a reactor becomes a fan of music I love. The process if fun to watch. Doubt and skepticism fades to full blown Metal fandom.

[@Assel55]

I would love to see both reactions, especially with Metallica: first the studio version with lyrics, then the live version. Btw, your reactions belongs to my fav! You‘re open minded, kind, have an interesting music backgrund (with rap, jazz, hip hop) and give us your deep thoughts and opinions. Thanks for that. Can I get a special wish? Metallica The day that never comes. First read the lyrics, then do the official video (epic like a whole Blockbuster) and then... live! Metallica is part of my live, like a good friend, sometimes therapy to hear. Saw them live four times. Fade to Black served a lot of lifes. A friend of mine struggled with suicide and didn‘t domit because of this song! Greetings from Germany. Stay save 🍀🤘

[@AZColt1971]

Still one of my favorite guitar solos I've ever heard. It's up there with the Tornado of Souls and Painkiller solos IMHO. But I can't play a lick so WTH do I know? LOL

[@hjonkhjonkamgoose]

As a guitar player who can play this song pretty well, it's my favorite song and end solo of all time. I get goosebumps sometimes when I'm playing and slip into this state of mind. Just being in the moment, time slows down, and I just get to let my feelings out with that last solo. Very emotional song, very beautiful

[@Metallicarule1991]

Hey man loving the channel, just discovered the other day and been watching loads of the Metallica reactions, as well as Meshuggah and Pantera, seems like you're a true music fan and the very in depth analysis of details and different elements is refreshing to see. Keep up the good work dude!

[@derrickschlangen616]

Lol love the old school videos. Just seeing them for the first time! Road to 1000 subs and now you got 145k!!

[@michaelernst3731]

Metallica HAS saved 10's of MILLIONS of lives world wide since they played this song.

[@cachaisnafu1010]

as a metal guitarist, I enjoy seeing reactions from many people in this day and age. Back in the days when I played Metal music, most people thought of us as satanist without first listening to the music. Metal music is composed of Blues notes, classical notes and sometimes just freestyle playing with deep emotional lyrics that speak for itself, and a new heavy and fast note/chord progressions to tell a story most people deal with on a regular basis. Keep up with the great reactions. It makes me smile to see that, finally after over 30 years...people are realizing that Metal music is one of the best music genres in history. Cachai

[@chadcrenshaw5589]

One if the most iconic songs to real Metallica fans

[@Shabadabadia]

I interpret the end solo as the time frame after a person jumped off a building and right before hitting the ground. I guess that's when memories start flashing in barrage like the solo on your way down before everything fades to black after that.

[@k0m0d0dr4g00n]

You're right about how this song could save a life. It did.

[@shawnamericanrebel5676]

Dave great reaction, this song has helped so many people its really unbelievable. It helped save me. Thank you

[@Vadershake]

It's well documented that quite a few people cite this song as the reason they did not kill themselves...they could relate and then were inspired not to commit the act.

[@professionalvampire1]

That's my favorite thing about this song. One might think that it would inspire people to commit suicide (at least that's what a lot of people said when it came out), but the reality is just the opposite - it saved a lot of lives.

[@patrickshannon4516]

They really rocked in those days and so produced so very well they had great producer's Flemming Rasmussen and Bob Rock working on their recordings and they really had a very special powerful thrashy sound. Definitely a heavy thrash from one of the great bands from the Bay area

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Could tell by the end u was blown away haha one of the best songs ever written

[@jeffreymcrae3853]

When this song first came out, it saved my cousins life... in his early teens he had no idea what he was feeling... then he heard this song... made him realize what he was going through... depression... and it helped him cope 🤔

[@Mc-RaGe-In]

Yup it’s official, one of my favorite FADE TO BLACK REACTION.

[@whatitdodave]

Ayyyee 💪🏽💯

[@karltobar2810]

That's how you listen to music, dawg headbanging and getting into it... fuck yeah!

[@nishantjoshi4392]

I enjoyed watching your reaction to this amazing song, and all the meaning of it. It's so true. The song faded to black. I love your perception of the song Love from India 🇮🇳❤️

[@danielglenn915]

Try "To Live is to Die". Mostly instrumental and the music is beautifully mixed.

[@KirkJrCofounderwahh]

Ride the lighting was the first album I’ve listened to cause my dad and my favorite song is fade to black im glad that my dad did this for me

[@mikaeldk5700]

Fantastic video man. Don't give up on Metallica, especially, you should see some live clips. IMO they are much better live, without the overdubbing on the albums.

[@DA-sf3vs]

Wow what you said about the intro i never thought about it and i have heard the song a million times

[@The_Rev_Show]

So glad I can see the back today punches again. Let's see some mastodon songs. Also, let the locks free!

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Love ya bro best reaction videos

[@depechemoderemastered20pl]

This song is about someone who's ready to end his life (or even is going throughout his, like, "final days"!!!) It was written right after almost full Metallica's gear was stolen, and James Hetfield was "sitting in silence" thinking almost about to end his life because of that (I think), but he didn't do it, and now they're one of the best bands of all time (and this is one of them best songs!!!) James wrote the acoustic parts, and the fast riff opening the second part!! Kirk Hammett wrote the heavy bridge after the first two verses, and Cliff Burton (Rest in Peace) wrote the harmonizing riff right before the final/very-energetic Kirk's guitar solo!!!

[@jimb7816]

Trust me it has saved millions of lives! Metallica is on another level!

[@bigsofty1977]

[@cachaisnafu1010]

I'm sorry if my comments are random. When I see a part of your reaction after seeing a scene, I tend to pause from your reaction video and make a comment to include the time stamp in your video to address what I am talking about.. If I ever have the time to consolidate my multiple comments into one compilation of comments, I will do that to make it easy for you. For now, I hope that you enjoy, that I am actually interacting with your video. :) Cachai

[@Swervin64]

2:16 Reaction Starts here

[@scrimpmster]

12:23 - Some people have actually asked before if I'm depressed or a violent person because I listened to heavy metal. I point out that me listening to this type of music is one of the reasons that I'm not violent or depressed. the following is from the songfacts website which I thought you may find interesting "Metallica wrote this after their equipment was stolen in early '84 and they had to start all over again. More specifically, James Hetfield wrote the lyrics in response to one of his amps being stolen."

[@hjonkhjonkamgoose]

To add onto that, the amp that was stolen was one that his mother gave him before she died.

[@rodrigopena449]

Great reaction, for real

[@Taylan5561]

cool that you picked up the reverse reverb

[@mikewalker7385]

I don't believe you are supposed to get the message right the first time. I believe the message evolves as you grow. This song means different things at different points in my life. I love how the song Fades out as the solo continues. I can imagine the next progression of that solo even after it is gone. Even after it is done.

[@whatitdodave]

With that being said. How did I do my first go around?

[@ff05t81t]

The Metallica fan base is faithful until you talk about Load/ReLoad/St. Anger lmfao

[@livingfreeinaz7172]

Tell me, if you can, has a smoother transition from classical to metal and back to classical than Metallica??? Didn't think so!!

[@SgtJones-tz1sq]

Didn’t you post this video back towards the beginning of your journey into Metallica? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen it before but KZbin says it was just posted today. Just curious because on the screen it says the road to 5000 subscribers but it shows that you have over 7000 subscribers.

[@whatitdodave]

Old channel was hacked. I just got access to it and my old video. I’m slowly moving all the old videos from there, here.

[@SgtJones-tz1sq]

WHAT IT DO good deal. I thought I was going crazy for a minute there. Love your channel. Keep doing what you do. Oh, and you really should check out all nightmare long by Metallica.

[@avinashpradhan9493]

Surprised how you missed reacting to "Nothing else matters" by Metallica till now. Please do react

[@SauterScoots]

And the song is talking about depression and suicide bud I think

[@KR-bo8zb]

James Hetfield wrote the song. It probably was his suicide note he would have left to his mother after his father died. Good thing he found music before he did it.

[@8tonystark8]

Why are you spreading lies? Their equipment got stolen from the van in the beginning of '84 when they were on a tour and it felt like the end of the world for them.

[@KR-bo8zb]

@@8tonystark8 This is what I read in a magazine from a quote from James back in the mid 80s. Besides there's the UHF series Behind the Music that told the story about how hard it was for him to lose him.He's also said his mother was kinda religious.

[@johngleason958]

excellent reaction. can't do much better than this. you just got another sub..lol, i believe i have you subbed on my other account as well. If i don't, then i will.

[@SauterScoots]

Bottom right says road to 5000 subs but you have over 11k?? Confused bud u mean 50000?

[@whatitdodave]

This is an old video from my previously hacked channel. It had about 23k subs there.

[@nobodyimportant69]

You're correct about it being about suicide, but if you watch the Official video, it's clips from the beginning of Saving Private Ryan when they're storming the beach at Normandy. I imagine that the suicidal part of the song is for all of the poor soldiers that walked into the killing fields on that beach and were maimed or had limbs blown off and they wanted to die. Early in the video it's Private Ryan at the cemetery paying tribute to Tom Hanks character for saving him. Dave, watch this video. No need to do a reaction to it, but it's very, very cool nonetheless. Hope you watch it and enjoy it.

[@vlasa9]

That is not the official video. In fact there is no official video for Fade to Black. The story behind this song as told by James Hetfield himself is that he was pretty depressed at the time because some of their gear had just been stolen, if I remember correctly his favourite guitar amp, first he ever owned, got stolen.

[@noahbones1221]

Ummm yeah no. metallica didn’t have a music video until 1988, with One. Fade to black was released in 1984. Fade to black is about the depression the band and more specifically James had when there gear got stolen, including a Marshall Amp his mom, who passed away, bought him.

[@nobodyimportant69]

Okay, thanks for the info guys, didn't know about that happening. But the video I'm talking about was on the EetFukExplorer KZbin channel (maybe the guy made his own video), and it was pretty good clips from the movie, made more recently, not in the 80's. Think about it, Saving Private Ryan wasn't out in the 80's, so obviously the video wasn't made until after the movie
