Metallica - The Outlaw Torn Lyrics (HD)

[@silviyamarinova9762]

I just can't stop listening this band for over 24 years, they are a part of my soul!

[@AtlasGuitar]

I haven't even been alive for 24 years, but I still pretty much agree. Metallica rules!

[@Dwendele]

I hear you, it's been over 30 for me! A school friend of mine brought back Kill em All from his California summer break, in 84. I haven't been the same since. It's funny, because I followed most of the same bands Lars and James did... Before Metallica

[@joshgraham8209]

Yeah , i know, they are really awesome.

[@paulcompton9990]

Its been almost 40 for me and Metallica still kicks ass

[@Only9mm]

25 yrs of listing to them, never gets old

[@shawnc666]

I don't care what anyone says, I started listening to Metallica in 1984 and though my heart will ALWAYS go to the older, harder stuff, I fucking love this album and this song........Dude Kirk's solo in this song ALWAYS, makes my hair on my arms stand up.... Yep, did it again....

[@archangel5627]

Cameron Brown I couldn’t agree with you more! The Outlaw Torn might not be a Thrash Metal Song but it definitely has balls! Absolutely terrific song!🤘🏻

[@TThatsWhatSheSaid1]

Man people have been crying that "they sold out" since Cliff was still alive smh. People swear every time a band wants to do something different and change their style even a little, that they sold out. It's stupid lol

[@archangel5627]

Connor Jones I totally agree with you! Metallica wanted to do more bluesier sounding songs when they wrote Load and Reload. Those two albums have a bunch of really great underrated songs on them. The people who hated those albums seem to forget that Metallica released Garage Inc after Reload, bringing back there more Thrashier sound. Then albums like Death Magnetic And Hardwired To Self Destruct where also a return to form. In the end you either like Metallica or you don’t, it’s that simple. For me personally I enjoyed all of there albums for different reasons and the people who keeping clamoring about how they sold-out just need to get over it because it’s extremely tiring hearing this debate for over 25 years now.

[@zacktoor1591]

I think it was Jason Newsted who said it best... "Do we sell out? Yes, every seat in the house!"

It makes me feel sad when I think about that James can write amazing lyrics cause he has been through some shit

[@hdaaap]

best songwriter in metal history. he actually writes about real shit, unlike kerry king and steve harris. who only write about fantasy and dungeons and dragons!

[@ThierryRocksTV]

Load is an album with very personal lyrics

[@owenfitzgerald8944]

@@hdaaap WOW what a grand display of ignorance, but anything better wouldn't be expected from someone thinking this is a masterpiece. Obviously you can't comprehend the lyrics or Iron Maiden. They have written about War, Religion, The Occult, Depression, History, Personal Passions and much more. Just because they're not crying about being "torn" because of their life doesn't make them worse. Steve Harris for example is a far better lyricist.

[@chrisbailey9377]

To me thrash is the pinnacle of metal... just my opinion. Death metal sounds like pure shit. Black. It's all trash. Growling and screaming is only good when it's understandable. Otherwise it's basically the metal equivalent of mumble rap. Just saying.

[@ResubidorSerial]

@@chrisbailey9377 I don't agree in anything... try listening to "Symbolic" by Death or Opeth... those are the proof that Death metal is art. And mueble rap can only be compared to shit so I don't even agree in that comparisson to be honest

It's called a crybaby wah peddle for a reason

[@seraphimserenata9839]

[@foreverorion_]

Dude Kirk’s solo is just pure emotion wow. I can really feel the pain, sorrow, and hurt from it. It’s just amazing and the build up to it is insane. I seriously can’t get over this song, it’s so good. Definitely in my top 10 Metallica songs.

[@SquidwardLSDSquirtingOctopussy]

I think this solo has the same impact as Maggot Brain by Funkadelic or Aunt Suzie by Buckethead, which is funny because those 2 are both in Eminor & I always thought Buckethead paid tribute to Maggot Brain by composing this.

[@getofly313]

Newly found masterpiece

[@andreblaza]

Such a masterpiece. James riff is outstanding

the best, yet underrated metallica album

[@celticnorthman3615]

Indeed!

[@castrotar_gamer8751]

this is my favorite song of this album.. I guess every one has a personal meaning. When he says I search the outside and search inside, and the more he search the more he need, bless and bleed.. the way he describes the feeling is so sad and hard.. he needs revenge for something but love at the same time. It makes me think about God and a woman also.. humans are really complicated. Is a damn good master piece

[@paulcrocker4157]

In my opinion, one of Metallica’s finest.

[@MichaelSweet-u7r]

Outlaw torn and Bleeding Me and Mama said are amazing songs

[@randyzill218]

Yeah, Metallica kicks Ass, as always nobody can come close too how great this Band is, they threw away the Molds after this Band, Hetfield Kicks Are, His emotions in the songs speaks for itself, so Strong his strength, as only James can Sing. The Band is the Greatest of all Metal as far as I'm concerned, I've been Listening to these guys, since the early 80s, and they just keep on churning out Hits, Keep up the Great Music my friends.

[@epsilonadept7301]

I like how these 3 albums end with songs about when you're on the edge of something and are either supposed to either keep hurting and thinking about it, accept it and move on or just lose your mind completely, destroying everything around you.

[@lindaadkisson4379]

WOW! All these years and I’m still loving on this song that’s full of memories. Guitar riding my pain 💔

One of Newsteads best bass performances imo.

[@carrasco921]

Fun fact: James wrote most of bass in load/reload era 😁

[@RayRay-ui6ui]

5:04 is the first time "outlaw torn" is sang.... my whole life time is actually repeated what most people call the chorus....

[@AtlasGuitar]

A lot of Metallica songs are like that, though. In "One" they only say the word once. Fade to Black, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Enter Sandman, and more all have titles that are never sung. I find it kinda interesting.

[@seraphimserenata9839]

Well, sanitarium is sung. Just not the welcome home part

[@kevinkinney5445]

This song at 5:30 comes as close as anything to my experience of coming to during spinal surgery grogily and out of it to become suddenly aware of my spine wide open and no morphine drip turned on... The pain was so intense it made sound! It took them 2 10 shots of demural and 3 10 shots of morphine before I stopped screaming. I consciously went insane during that snafoo.

[@jorywaisanen7374]

What is equal to a "10 shot"? And Demural? They should have just gave you a solid Iv shot of hydromorphone and not fucked around lol

20 years later this still resonates. Try as you might to be a good father, husband and member of the community, putting on the suit and tie, hiding the tatts and the past, there is still that little bit of darkness in your soul you can't escape. That feeling there is just something missing. That you're supposed to find something. And is this "good girl" by my side really who I'm supposed to spend my life with while I'm haunted by the ones who got away. To colour inside the lines or not

Maybe the greatest song never heard by most! The Outlaw Torn, is about how we (me) have tried and failed to succumb to rightous acts. I'm outlaw torn. And I'm Torn. So on I wait my whole life time for you The more I search the more I need for you, The more I bless the more i need for you. I need to be "perfect" in the eyes of most who consider laws absolute, but i do drugs and i get drunk, so im outlaw torn, like selling drugs or being in jail! There's that woman or man, that special person waiting for you there, when youre at your worst. And I'm Torn! Hear Me! And if i close my mind in fear, please pry it open... and so on... You ever been there, you've been at your worst withe the most wonderful person there, whom you will never hurt like you do to yoursef, and you're torn too!

I tried to look up what the meaning behind this song was. Outlaw Of Torn is a book by Edgar Rice Burroughs one of my favorites and is about a Prince stolen and raised by a swordmaster in the ultimate vengeance to attack the monarch that insulted him. The Outlaw Torn is a book every 10 year old should read and I think this song is about that book and not anything else. The Outlaw torn could never show his face because his appearance was to recognizable. He rode the dust. So If you are wondering what this is about, I guarantee you that you should read that book and you will know. Every 9 yr old boy should read that book.
