reaction to Fade To Black by Metallica - FIRST TIME REACTION

Master of puppets about dealing with drug problems

[@lights8811]

I saw in you previous video that you are a millennial :). As such, my humble opinion is that you should check out 2 important bands, Evergrey and Dimmu Borgir. Totally different stiles but I'd like to see the reaction to the progressive nature of Evergrey Weightless and Dimmu Borgir Gateways (official video with captions on) the latter being a beautiful mix of disturbing image and existential nihilism in a symphonic black metal package. Best of wishes in your youtube endeavor, sub from me.

Somehow, in some way, their music is not screams, shouts, noise, or bits... Its not just metal, rnr, etc. .... It's subtle and deep connecting power. It's a different spiritual level. Really. Maybe it's just me, but few songs from other musicians create this feeling to me..... They say that other bands do play harder, faster, better. It just doesn't matter.

How awesome is it to see that dawning realisation in someone that metal is felt in the soul. Like many of us who first got our taste of metal glory in the 80's and early 90's, these millenials do have the capacity to become metal heads. Here's hoping slanzzy picks up that cudgel and carries this tradition forward.

[@dwpeter]

I was noticing the exact same thing! Love it! :)

[@jaysson1151]

Benjamin Sartori don’t forget, a lot of us millennials were born in the early 80s like myself. Metal was still pretty popular when I was going thru high school but it was on the downhill slope at that point. Metallica was still going strong especially with the Black album. Slipknot, slayer, CoB, and fear factory were still the rage. Music has totally changed now, testosterone is pretty much nonexistent in the music that today’s male teens and 20-somethings listen to. It’s sad.

[@TF-lk6co]

Whenever I start watching a Fade to Black reaction my thought is: "I hope she/he appreciates the amazing extended soloing at the end because nobody does long, multi-layered solos like Metallica." Was not disappointed.

[@slanzzy]

IT WAS INSANE!!!

[@Megaseawolf]

This song would just break you down into pieces, literally destroy you. And then, when the song ends, you realize that it’s been actually gathering your pieces and reshaping them into a stronger version of your past self. It changes the way you look at life. Then suddenly you feel better after being so depressed. Such a masterpiece 🔥🤘

[@AnibalAvelar]

This song is insane, because many listen the song on high depression with suicidal intentions but then when the amazing guitar solo comes they realized life worth it … amazing Metallica song

You're a bit young, my daughter's age, but here's my feedback. I'm a US Army veteran (was in Germany when the wall fell) and combat veteran from the Gulf War. We listened to Metallica all the time after the war. I'm not into heavy metal, but the Fade to Black album spoke to me. I took many years of piano lessons when younger. It wasn't until later, and the S&M album, that I realized the band and those songs are truly musical master pieces. They bring so many pieces of my life together. Thank you for realizing the emotion impact that this band is capable of achieving.

[@chrisharrison3305]

James wrote this at a pretty dark time. Their gear had been stolen and things were just uncertain. To me this song was an optometry, doesn’t glorify suicide but recognizes it as an option, not the best one. It also helped me latter on to understand my mothers suicide. It took many year of anger but I now understand. I don’t agree of course but I understand. Whatever pain she was suffering is over now. I just wish she was here so we could go through it/ experience it together, and work through it. I’m trying, but it isn’t easy.

Since you asked, this song definitely got me through some dark shit. Drug abuse and disease nearly destroyed me. I was ready to give up.

Metal stereotypes were always greatly exaggerated, especially for a band like Metallica. Their first 3 albums all contained beautiful and powerful music, some songs are gonna be more intense but they always remain very melodic and balanced. The way you appreciated the instruments in the last part of this song tells me you should react to "Metallica - Orion" , it's an instrumental, no vocals, very well crafted and balanced it captures the mind in a similar way that Fade to Black does at the end. Every reaction of that song is amazing and I feel yours would be very interesting as well. Great reactions with an interesting perspective, keep it up! Suggestion: "Metallica - Orion"

My reaction was much the same when I first heard Fade to Black. Kids killed themselves when they heard the song, kids wrote Metallica letters about how the song saved them. People loved it. I loved it, i still do. When I hear the solo escalate, man dude. It takes me back to some pinché hard days. Each part was an emotion I felt before I tried suicide and when I hear those parts in the solo, I go through them again. At one point, the solo turns(in my mind) where you did it, and you're dying. And you're just alive enough yet to think i want to go back, I can't go back and at the end, it's too late. Goodbye. It hits me hard cause I didn't take those 3 steps though I tried three times. Fade to Black, man that song hits I'm still here, even though my life was miserable for 16 years. I am kinda harsh on the shit but if anyone has problems out there, man. Don't do it. You can't see it, I didn't see it but you gotta keep going. There's people out there that will call into the darkness and keep talking to you till you come out. There are people out there that don't know how much more rich their lives will be with you in it. Just keep going man, people will help.

I need help. Im drowning man. The light I had in my life is dimming. I could check out. Make it look like an over dose. Ive been in a MAT program for a year and a month. Clean off opiods or anything cept bupes from the clinic every 2 weeks. But Im not happy. I am cold in my soul..losing weight aint helping . I have no appetite for food. The thought of it turns me off, so when i feel I need something, its prob food. I just grab a cigarette in its place. Im so fucking alone . I have a grown son and hold down my job and house..but each day is struggle. The only time Im not in all this pain is when I sleep. My sleep isnt good either. I sleep in stages and every night its the same. I dont know man..Im just so dam tired...in and of everything...sorry for all my details, but I dont have anyone that I relate to with this.

[@chrisbennett6236]

There is a moment when you realise what the pain has made of you. In hiding, curled in on yourself, unable to show the world your face. Acting on instinct, lashing out, even at those closest to you. Time has passed, and time is a thief. It has stolen your memories-the agony has faded, but so has every precious moment of joy. You have been hollowed out from the inside and there's nothing left of the person you used to be. But you try. You try to remember how to smile. You try to remember how to love. And one day you crawl out from your hiding place and step back into the world. And then, every day, you do what you must to survive.

Worst than capitalism is the failing one for not having any progress plan for the fake overpopulated big cities producing debts and worldwide company products that gives you calories and bad teeth...best political achievement was probably the legalization of Marijuana keeping some states panks into deticated farmers...i wonder if they are tested from government as quality control or only illegal drags are actually tested after they are stolen for giving u penalties or time....now the mask is a new method to fool citizens for a new reason to devide people for health reasons...best comidients are politicians but cannot feel any joy from this only the sad truth of how a democracy wears a mask....give us real democracy to express the common sence acceptable globally and stop doing idiotic statistic analysis for who might be president in next election...either way the are decorative images of ancient time modesty and seriousness polititians are trying to sell us do not fit at all with current aera sencitivity to anything but the real problem... Comunication issues and time for revaluation of life passing through leaving behind some real artist with political and social issues in their music at least they performed enjoying the facts we all live but some ppl cannot see clearly...even then so unforgiven, no terrorist yet but so flerting with that idea...no shooting random ppl, shooting ideas for new concept for escaping the goverments that only takes and only gives just to take back more...all legal, in polititian we trast to do sht and no policy for even our lives...makes u wanna be a btch but so not worthing it...sorry for the long but not enough to conclude opinion about nothing as it feels my need to pass some time working in nightshift at bus station that is closed for months and gives me no reason to be productive. I could do some cleaning but it was not in the job description in the non existing training i had...there is no protocol here and u can pass your way even prescibe medication by examining a patient without the right procedure and make 2 guestions just to turn me into a johnson and johnon medical products in the maybe you never heard of island of Cyprus where i got last Christmas candy...not a customer of that product yet and looking for a case since is the same deal for that doctor serving as a midle man for legal drugs that in USA some has been winning serius amounts of money which just no changing sht and i will never learn from any statistic economical or health deparment info about how many customers he has to upgrade the income he already enjoys as a doctor with no real scientific terminology for mental illnesses since the root is in family, society, education full of anything but the human species unless they have to shake someone's relegion by the evolution theory that yet has not given any point of origin and no interested on the right tools and knowledge for the human body, diet for healthy structure, mental stability from controlled expirement like acting roles of top issues list like bulling followed by reality of nature's bulling between animal behaviour and finding out a true call for occupation that is actually productive instead of the typical propaganda educational the experts has yet to get right. Can all the experts answer to one simple guestion? Is there a possibility of a common sence to exist about all the differences we have due to systemic loop of human consistency to no have a personal opinion to realise where we stand in a local base or state or nationaly and even globally for checking the real opinion and feel a real democracy voting for something simple but first step of final scientific results the experts never seems to give us.i personaly report the luck of interesting news that has nothing to do with damaging the idols the Hollywood produse and choose the type of news you want to learn about like forgoten scandals of the past that really did not damage any career if one considers to not take action but entertain the masses with comedians performing dramatic roles of trying to persuade his self the croud and all the global comunity. And if not political question then a social one...does anyone feel any equality of oportunities on any aspect like supposed to enjoy by law...or should some standards be facts of true honesty to enter a category of build lets say like sportsmen or women can be listed.?and if so is it discrimination for a school chair or job chair to address to sertain builds for orthopedic reasons? More expensive but betteter investment I would say...and i would also use kids to work and be educated at the same time in fine conditions not a factory in China with no safety measures or payment benefits...wouldn't you like graduading and have a certain amount of capital to begin for any investment from your few working time lessons provided from a government?(yet going political instead of using inappropriate terms for discussions over reproductive system parts we carry in shame or not according to the size shape colour one might have instead of avoiding to mention for sympathizing by lying instead of cold facts that stay with you untill death..is like a marriage on birth with a soul taking a body to produse apersonality untill death do em apart must be real connected lolely family

[@pkj77]

fact: More specifically, James Hetfield wrote the lyrics in response to one of his amps being stolen. Not only was this amp his favorite, but it was also the first amp he ever owned so it had a lot of sentimental value to him. The song is about losing everything and wondering if it is worth going on also Lars Ulrich also spoke about how he and Hetfield were "obsessed with death" during the recording of Ride the Lightning. The inspiration for "Fade to Black" was based on loss. The loss of Hetfield's prized Marshall amplifier-allegedly the first he ever purchased. there is the trilogy The unforgiven, Unforgiven 2, Unforgiven 3 Master of puppets( about drugs) Welcome Home (Sanitarium) that last one they wrote about the movie " the one who flew over the cuckoos nest" with Jack Nicholson

as a metal guitarist since I picked up an electric guitar when I was 12 years old in the early 80's, 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
