James’ economic storytelling is second to absolutely no one. He’s on par with Prine, Petty, and honestly, I think he’s beyond Bob Dylan. He only says what he absolutely has to say and still makes you feel like you’re inside the song. A master.

@@rickkelley4618 Speaking of John Prine, "Sam Stone" is probably one of the few songs with lyrics as soul-crushing as this one. I prefer Dylan to both ultimately, but yeah, in terms of economic lyrics specifically, that wasn't always Dylan's strong suit. All three are legends, of course.

Consider their ages. They're were between 20-22 years old writing a powerful ballad about a powerful subject in an era where they were supposed to be reaching higher speeds. You didn't really get that many songs about suicide from the first person perspective at the time which made it so chilling. As far as songwriting goes: I often tell my mates, Fade to Black, Sanitarium, and One are masterpieces because the music is absolutely beautifully composed, the harmonies are incredibly written, haunting leads, and then the lyrics are just about living in an absolute nightmare. Forget Satan, Gore, and guts. Depression/suicide, mental illness, and being brain dead have been horrible realities for a lot people. Rest in peace to all of them. Metallica had maturity in their writing, that's why they could ease up on the thrash.

I love their early albums, but I also love the way James' voice matures and changes over time. He was just a kid when he started and you could hear it in his voice. I wouldn't expect a man in his 50s at this point to still sing like that. I think the sign of a good band is one that can evolve and mature.

I'm 49 and The Whiplash EP import(Cause it was $5 at Licorice Pizza)was my intro to Metallica(I can hear "Boomer" right now which is wrong, born in 72' is Generation X). I bought Ride The Lightning next week. Epic stuff. Buzz was at the time a new LP was in the works without Mustane's writing. Next year Master Of Puppets came out. The rest is history. Ride The Lightning & Whiplash import will always has a special place for me. Thanks for this Fade To Black breakdown. I appreciate it. EDIT: For Whom The Bells Toll was the first song I learned from Metallica. On an 80s Gibson Firebird routed with full sized Humbuckers Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB & SH-2 Jazz neck. Then EMG 81-85's and finally a Brushed Gold EMG Het-set. I also play a PRS ONE SE(basicalliy PRS's version of the LP) w with a Fishman Fluence Greg Koch bridge pickup. Back then I was lucky enough to have a Mesa Boogie 2C++ head. Hard as hell to dial in that Metallica tone, "California Smile" but I did do it. I'm happy with my Recto 50 watt solo head 2 but would be nice to land a Boogie 2++ but they're so hard too find. Thanks again for the tutorial. I dig your humor along with theory knowledge.

In my opinion, the best live version of this song is from Seattle 89. That is because Kirk played the solo closer to the original solo in that show combined with Lars' early double bass which made me shed into tears and headbang at the same time.

Their record label wanted them to wright a ballad because of the popularity of em at the time. So they wrote a love song about death. Very Metal

Actually the song Escape Is the result of record company pressure that's why the band hates that songs and refuses to play it

Just Realize Shred , you can mock Lars' Drumming all you want to . But he Constructed this song in Composing just as much as James did . Lars' contributions in thought and Feeling created this masterpiece . This Song is the GOAT of Thrash Metal because you'll never see 21 year olds in the music industry writing a Metaphoric Introspective Musical Diary of misery like this again .

“Fade To Black” is the track that made me a Metal head and a Metallica fan.

The way the acoustic sound like a 12 string is because they run it through a midi with a 12 string effect in the loop. There's a gear rundown video where James' tech guy talks about it.
