Don’t really agree with the narrative here. Lars playing is and technic is rich and underrated, Outllaw song is a proof of that among others

Being 13 in 1996 load was my first Metallica album and will forever have a special place in my heart for that reason. Also I’m more of an alternative fan than meatalhead 😂

Note: James wrote the majority of the basslines for Load and ReLoad

I love those albums.

Jason he one my favorite Bass play Metallica never be same since been going from band but still fan.

Hetfields comments about Layne Stanley turned me off as a fan forever. Their discography after the black album is downright embarrassing.

Compare the latest two 96BB releases to the latest CKY material and you can see where the writing talent is hands down. Some absolute belters on the 96BB albums.

Load and Reload are great. Not a Metallica purist, as you can tell. 😂 I like Load more than any other album they put out, although the Black album comes close.

Great video!

I left when Jason left. Seriously. Never bought an album after. Actually that’s a lie. I stopped after black album

After seeing how they talked smack against grunge superstars, I kind of just lost what little respect I had for these guys.

71min?????

Fade to Black is a Power Ballad?

14:11 a smiley face equalization. i don't believe such a professional musicians they were they made this rookie mistake.

James was always a cunning linguist ;-)

Can someone make a version of the album that is shortened down?

Pop music metal

Super ironic to hear James shit talk someone for an addiction

The album sucked for a long time until I went back to it over a decade later then it kinda grew on me

I purchased Load gave it away & have not purchased anything from Metallica since! & learned later of the childish antics of Lars & James. But their egos are to big to ever realize they messed up. Too step in & replace someone like Cliff in the most popular band at the time would be stressful enough without the hazing! Jason stepped up to the challenge & did his job! I'd say those ego tripping assholes owe that man an apology! Just my opinion.

Bob Rock should never produce again after he allowed that snare sound to be final.

Got to love how James jokes about someone’s addiction when he’s the same kind of weak but with booze.

9:26 what is Chad doing there 😂

Some kind of monster is a weird feeling for me I really don't like the "full" version But i quite enjoy the 4 minute version with different mixing

Didn’t realize the cover of load was blood and semen, and reload was blood and urine

That's cool,talk about alice in chains tho

They are trying to fix that now. I used to trash Metallica for this issue. However ,recently I have seen that the band is trying to reach out to him. That's a good thing, he actually deserves, his contribution to the band, especially in the moment that he took over, deserves to be acknowledge .

Calling Napster fans entitled cry babies? God, you sound like suck a cuck.

Metalloca was doing there best 2000 to 2004 Emoe Link Park impreshion and it was just Sad As Fuck... there Metallica Just be Metallica

This video lost me. You did ok on the load and reload video. But here you sound like a whiny bitch. Like you have any idea what this band was hoping to accomplish. And im not even a big Metallica fan. But it’s apparent.

The loads are the best Metallica albums.

After Jason left I stopped going to their concerts or really listening to their new music. He fit so well that it’s hard to take Metallica seriously anymore

One of the best things that ever happened to Metallica is James going sober. Genuinely love Load and Reload but man Lars and James were ego titans during this time

Imagine writing and recording the black album and still have people saying it’s not good enough

Metallica has ALWAYS had a great bass player 👌

I think reload has a much cooler and pronounced guitar tone as compared to Load.

When they decided to stop ripping off underground metal bands and tried to do something on their own they showed their true colors. A band of mediocre creativity with a huge ego.

Watching Lars rub "pudding" all over himself in the video when the album first dropped is something I unfortunately will never be able to unsee.

I remember 12year olds with their parents ( prolly cringing) on the black album tour -enter tweens… load was a disappointment and was everything after. magnetic got them back on track a bit when they ditched bob rock, hardwired was ok, the new one seems like hardwired part 2 , so no different than load/reload…they Made their best music young and poor and hungry - much like Aerosmith..once the fame and money comes it’s like a curse, they go downhill..,

Actually a great record

And then theres St Anger, the cover of which is a mixture of cows blood and the artists anger

She was insanely hot before the plastic surgery. Now she looks like a clown

The 90s was a difficult time for any classic rock & roll band

Call it selling out or not, they left their roots when a lull hit the Genre. And they went in the direction of Grunge

In hindsight both are great albums. Not falters at all.

As a longtime admirer of Metallica, I think that on these albums they blinked. They had never blinked before artistically, forging their way relentlessly forward. But bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, et Al made them stop and say, hey, maybe there is something else out there.

I loved load... re-load had its moments- I've thought recently though that had 72 seasons been the follow up to black it would have sold 25 million copies. Had Hard-wired then followed 72 seasons it would have sold another 25 million

Man, thanks for this. I bought the album asap just out of pure anticipation, didn’t read any reviews, etc. big mistake. I’ve never been so disappointed, but I was young and still had a lot of life and disappointments ahead of me so overall can’t complain looking back now.

8:48 LOL what you mean "why?" Because you are being an asshole? LOL

Imagine teasing the remaining members of Nirvana. Maybe that quote inspired everything Dave has done since. Haha.
