A lot of the older fans don't like The Black Album, but being a fan of theirs since 1986 I think it's a great Album. And The Unforgiving is one of the best songs on it. Keep on enjoying new music no matter what kind it is.
If you want harder Metallica I suggest Master of puppets or Fade to Black. Two of their greatest songs with deep meanings. Can’t go wrong with any early Metallica
These two like live performances, and Metallica has two of the greatest performances captured on tape ever. Pick any song from Seattle 89, or Moscow 91, and it's guaranteed gold. I'd say Battery from Seattle would be a great start.
This was a massive hit for Metallica!! Unforgiven 2 is on the "Reload" album, and unforgiven 3 is on the " death magnetic" album 3 part story! Love u guys❤️
One minor correction, it should be 'I dub thee Unforgiven'. Thee being an old word for you, referring to society in this song, or the people who forced the character into their mold. Also, Jay, there is nothing wrong with loving all music but preferring heavy (that's where I'm at) and Amber, there is nothing wrong with loving all music but preferring soft. Eclectic musical taste is the best way to live.
100% correct. People like what they like. A friend once told me that if you think of the worst song or artist that you think nobody can love, I can promise you that to someone out there it's their favorite thing of all time.
@@bsanderfer I made a girl cry in junior high completely by accident by slamming "The Osmond Brothers". The thing is, I liked the Osmonds, but was "too cool" to admit it.
I don't really get why Metallica didn't just title the song as "Thee Unforgiven" ?? Using "Thee" in the title would've gelled with the word "Unforgiven" even more-so ? .
This song is about about James Hetfield and the struggles he had with religion-related to his mom’s death. His relatives did not want to give James’s mom the treatment she needed because they thought God would help her through it. He starts to question the legitimacy of religion.
Hetfield didn’t question the legitimacy of religion. He question the legitimacy of his parents’ chosen faith of Christian Science, a new age “religion” that popped up not too long ago. In fact Hetfield’s beliefs can be described as what experts on the matter call agnostic. He believes in a higher power but doesn’t yet understand the nature and purpose of that higher power. In his own words from an interview two years ago, “I believe in a higher power, yes. I don’t know… he, she, it… whatever… I see it everywhere. It is everything to me. And if I choose to see it, it makes me feel better. If I think I can do better [than this higher power], it never works. [Laughs]” Hetfield is religious.
The God That Failed is about his mother’s Christian Science nonsense. The Unforgiven is about an old man who has lived his life the way others expected him to or told him to and now that he sees death approaching he is realizing all the regret he has at all the things he wanted to do but didn’t.
I don't know who suggested doing the lyric video but the official video the band made has very powerful imagery that goes with the song. This album might be what could be considered a crossover album, it still retains some of their heavy sound but it's not as heavy as their previous albums. It leans more into the rock side than the metal side. The album was a huge commercial success for the band and opened them to a larger audience with tons of radio and MTV airplay.
This song is a trilogy. Unforgiven, Unforgiven 2 and 3. The second and third are definitely worthy of a listen! Heavy songs! James Hetfield has an amazing voice!! Awsome shredding guitars!! 🎸🎸
The Black album introduced me to Metallica. I was 15 when it came out and it blew my fricken mind. I went back and sifted through their past work and was sold. A baby metal head emerged.
I got to see them backstage and overhead Lars talking about this song. He explained that Its a progression as James Grows up. Each verse reflects a different age and his struggles with his Dad leaving, religion, Mom dying and how he fit into the world at each interval. I remember listening to it on the way home from Denver to Colorado Springs and reflecting in that explanation.... I thought it was brilliant actually. And soul crushing atthe same time.
James Hetfield(the singer)grew up with extremely religious parents.He was constantly trying to follow their strict rules yet was internally battling himself trying to forge his own identity and explore other beliefs.His father was especially tough on him,and they had an incredibly verbally combative relationship.
One song that’s hard is “The Four Horsemen “ one of my favorites. There’s some that may recommend another one that’s harder, but this one has such a great rhythm and head banging to do.
Saw them 3 times in the 90's. Great band live. The energy is crazy. If you every ha e the chance to see them you will not regret it. Happy birthday Amber.
That solo in the middle though...they mastered rhythm and lead guitar solo compliments playing. My favorite. Hard metalica!!!......master of puppets..... Best intro of all time!!!! Period...zero questions. You want HARD Metallica... Master of Puppets
I also saw the Metallica/Ozzy concert in Philly, my sister was with and said who is Metal-lica, smh. Their stage was nothing but the Master of Puppets drop cloth as the background, a little different now a days.
It's serendipity that Amber's wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, because I wanted to suggest a song that will make Rob happy with piano and make Amber happy with saxophone, and as a bonus...it's Pink Floyd, so you know it's deep. The song is "Us and Them". I think you'll love it.
🤘💜🤘 Enjoyed your reactions. Been a fan of Metallica since 1983 and seen them live 12 times. Most recently in 2017. They played Mile High Stadium, in 2017, to a sold out show of 79,329!!! I great concert! 🤘❤🤘
This was exactly my life growing up. My grandmother and father were as strict and controlling as can be. Physically, emotionally and mentally. This song has resonated with me since I first heard it because of that..... as if I wrote it myself.
This was my life too growing up, very strict and controlling parents. First time I heard this song I felt it was meant for me and I cried my eyes out. Still cry every time I hear it but I love it so much, my favorite Metallica song hands down.
@@donnacorey1877 It makes me teary eyed as well. You know the feeling I get when I hear it. My grandmother and father molded me I to what they wanted me to be. Because of that, I still don't know who I am. My mind, thoughts and actions were so controlled. They wanted the perfect child. Perfect in every way including my handwriting. Getting a C in school was considered a failing grade and I would get grounded for it.
@@donnacorey1877 I have constant reruns myself. Someday God willing, I will write a book about my life, my upbringing, experiences, depression, etc. Patty Duke did it and I read it. I feel writing my story might be therapeutic although I doubt anyone will buy it.
Great song and one of my favourite Metallica ones. A great Disturbed cover is Sound of Silence (by Simon & Garfunkel) which puts a new spin on the song that blows you away... perhaps listen to the original first.
You've been from one end of the spectrum with Metallica to the other. I would suggest going from one end of the spectrum with Disturbed to the other and react to The Sound of Silence. You will not be disappointed. That will turn Amber into a Disturbed fan.
Watching reactions to Metallica has given me a newfound appreciation for them. When I was young and they were big I never really understood the appeal but I get it now. I've seen the light.
For HARD Metallica, you want to listen to The Four Horsemen, Jump in the Fire, Hit the Lights, Seek & Destroy, Metal Militia, so pretty much the whole Kill 'Em All album, the first one. The most thrash metal album. Fight Fire with Fire from Ride the Lightning is also amazing. That and the next albums are more speed metal and getting into the long, riff heavy but musically very intelligent songs. The Metallica album (known as the Black Album) is more mainstream and is very divisive amongst fans. The next albums are a search for a sound, perfectly explained in Some Kind of Monster, a documentary about them. Essentially a live group therapy session, but very interesting. They're sort of back to their roots now.
I have followed them from day one. I remember being confused when black came out. But I wasn't disappointed...it was just different. Metallica is good at everything.
Love you guys! I was a freshman in high school when this came out and a lot of fans hated on this album and their change in songwriting. I get it but I bought this on cassette and threw on the headphones. I realize it was a change for the band and the fans but there was undeniably great songs on the black album. Keep up the open minds and positive vibes. You guys bring a little happiness to a lot of people... Sometimes we really need it. You are appreciated :)
Metallica's UNFORGIVEN is part of a TRILOGY - They tell a story and should be listened to consecutively. . Unforgiven I - th-cam.com/video/Ckom3gf57Yw/w-d-xo.html - First (1991) Unforgiven II - th-cam.com/video/5bt7kAVxKfs/w-d-xo.html - Most popular (1998) Unforgiven III - th-cam.com/video/OMJREChN8nY/w-d-xo.html - Best of the 3 (2008) The songs are about sin and consequence, forgiveness and unforgiveness.
This has always been my favorite Metallica song. I don’t remember if Amber reacted to One by Metallica but I’d love to see that. That and Fade To Black. Fade to Black for the amazing guitar solo!
If you look at most of the lyrics that James Hetfield writes, they are very deep. Even master of puppets and One are very strong lyrically but also masterpieces in instrumental. Check out enter Sandman in Moscow.
U2 and Metallica both have a song named "One". You should check them both out. Also, Chris Cornell does the music of one bands "One" while singing the lyrics of the other bands "One". Maybe do all 3 on the same day, one day🤔.
Absolutely love the message of being your authentic self. That’s been one of the big struggles in my life, realizing I’m a trans woman and figuring out what that means. So everyday I just try to unlearn the rules pushed on me and be who I am inside.
Kudos for braving the journey to being your true self. I know it won't be an easy ride, but you WILL meet folks that love and treasure you if you haven't already. Just remember: you are one of a kind, and just like everyone else you ARE special. Love and support from a Cali rocker!
I've seen some of y'alls reactions here and there, and saw a few last night. Today I binge watched your channel and y'all now have a new subscriber. Thanks for everything y'all are doing and keep it up👍👍👍
(SYMPHONIC METAL) From one Okie to another, "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish is something y'all need to hear. It has the rock, metal, symphonic sounds and one of the best female vocalists EVER! It could easily be used as a music score for a movie! It will lead you down a rabbit hole. Choose the lyric video from the 2013 Wacken concert.
This song is pure genius!!! I used to play this song in my walkman, and just close my eyes. That was 30 years ago, and I still can't listen to this song without closing my eyes! Thanks!
He won't forgive those who didn't allow him to be himself. You labeled me, I label you. I dub (label) thee (you) Unforgiven. F you for making me die regretfully, basically. So intense.
If you want to bring Amber to the light, try to have her listen to For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride By Lightning, Master of Puppet, Fade to Black, and of course Orion and Call of Ktulu. Metallica will inevitably grow on her.
Since you've listened to Simon & Garfunkel as well as Disturbed, if you haven't listened to Disturbed's version of Sounds of Silence you really must do it. A totally different sound from Simon & Garfunkel's version.
A long time back I was at a soccer tournament held in fields adjacent to the football stadium where Metallica was playing that night. They were setting up and tuning, and started to play and I swear that I was about 500 yards away and the trees I was standing by started shaking from their volume. I could feel the bass resonate through my body. I can't imagine being stage side!!! Amazing...
People were so ready not to like Death Magnetic before it even came out. They'd labelled it before it had a chance too. There are some strong tracks on there though, so more fool them.
You should never label anybody until you get to know them, A lot of people label me as a nerd just because I like to study things in space but the people that know me know I like to rock and I have played guitar in several bands over the years. You can't judge a book by it's cover, you have to read the book to know what it is about and the same with people. You can't judge a person by the cover, you have to get to know that person to really understand who that person is.
This is one of my all time favorite songs by Metallica. It was HUGE back in the early 90's when the Black Album came out. It was an epic event everytime it came on MTV. Back when MTV was real music! I will always love this song!
He struggles with his how he was raised. Christian Science family and his Mom died from cancer and never went medical treatment. God was going to cure her, he was 16 when she passed away and he ended up living with his older brother. If I’m remembering right the song The God That Failed is about his life and losing his Mom.
...dunno why people are telling you to do the lyric video versions...the official video is much better. You see their music put to video, and have a face behind the voice.
Even at their "hardest," Metallica is a bunch of incredibly talented fellas who write really well, play even better, and they're just *chef's kiss*. Always highly melodic, and to me even meditative with these steady beats, whatever the speed. Metallica fuckin' relaxes me. I've gotten to see them live a couple of times, just excellent. I like to say I'm pretty sure James didn't even know he was a baritone till the 90s. He's one of a long list of singers who fucked up his vocal cords and had to learn proper technique when recovering.
This was the first song heard at 1991 from Metallica, I knew they exists before but some reason I didn’t hear them before but after I heard this song they caught me for ever.
I'm new to Metallica, but I really like this. I really like the message behind the lyrics and the whole vibe of it. I'm going to check our more of their songs.
Man I love you guys! I love your appreciation for music! I love how you two are besties! and I love your compassion for people! You deserve all the blessings you get.
Pretty much everybody likes Enter Sandman by Metallica. It's not a softer song but it's super infectious. One of those you can't get out of your head. Oh and One of the subscribers, Jeff called y'all Jamber yesterday. We took a vote ( 2 person). We're doing that now. 😊 Love y'all Jamber!!!
I have been a guitar player for 40 years, and this James Hetfield guitar solo makes me weep. It is my absolute favorite recorded solo ever. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.
You two make one of the best reactions I've ever seen in internet so far ! Thank you for M.j. (Its my idol ) for AC/DC, Guns&Roses ... and NOW for Metallica reactions... for every single one that you have done so far ! You don't just hear the music you react on, you 2 are geting inside every melody and try to really understand and feel it with you souls .. Unforgiven is my special favorite song because of someone from my family who past away when I was a kid and because of him I know that kind of music ... so its very special for me and yes, I know Metallica its not a band that everyone woud understan ,so for me to see pure reaction like this here...really makes my heart full of good emotions ! Thank you both for this ! Keep it up !
I'm a long time Metallica fan. I like all of their music. Some people are too critical about their music after the Black Album. But these guys are now old men making metal music that still kicks ass.

I thought they were bad until the black album. Thrash & speed metal is horrible. LOL
I bought the Black album 5 times in years past because I wore them out.
I loved the early ones but also really like the black album. I like it when bands mature and change over the years and that's what they did.
Probably their last good album
I'll pretend Bill didn't just post that, lol
Amber would also like 'Nothing Else Matters' - one of their biggest hits.
I was bent as a pretzel the first time I heard that song... What an experience! 😂
So would J (you know, the piano thing).
@@jeremeybritton2129 Piano?! Ya might wanna have another listen!☺️
While you’re doing nothing else matters check out the all cello cover of it by Apocalyptica. No words but man those guys can rock out on their cellos
@@dankirk00 Yes! And their covers of Unforgiven and Fade to Black. It's actually quite beautiful music.
If you want harder Metallica I suggest Master of puppets or Fade to Black. Two of their greatest songs with deep meanings. Can’t go wrong with any early Metallica
Agree !!
Hell yeah your not a metalhead if you haven’t rocked out the master of puppets
These two like live performances, and Metallica has two of the greatest performances captured on tape ever. Pick any song from Seattle 89, or Moscow 91, and it's guaranteed gold. I'd say Battery from Seattle would be a great start.
Favorite.. One
So true! Before they cut their hair! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
"Nothing Else Matters" is perhaps their softest song. Very digestible. Original video...
YES!!!
As long as it is not the version by miley cyrus.
Can't watch to glitchy
@@gregelie960 🤣
This was a massive hit for Metallica!! Unforgiven 2 is on the "Reload" album, and unforgiven 3 is on the " death magnetic" album
3 part story! Love u guys❤️
One of my favorites!🤘
One minor correction, it should be 'I dub thee Unforgiven'. Thee being an old word for you, referring to society in this song, or the people who forced the character into their mold.
Also, Jay, there is nothing wrong with loving all music but preferring heavy (that's where I'm at) and Amber, there is nothing wrong with loving all music but preferring soft. Eclectic musical taste is the best way to live.
100% correct. People like what they like. A friend once told me that if you think of the worst song or artist that you think nobody can love, I can promise you that to someone out there it's their favorite thing of all time.
@@bsanderfer I made a girl cry in junior high completely by accident by slamming "The Osmond Brothers". The thing is, I liked the Osmonds, but was "too cool" to admit it.
@@seanellio
The Osmonds "Crazy Horses"
That would make a great Reaction Video👍
.
I don't really get why Metallica didn't just title the song as "Thee Unforgiven" ??
Using "Thee" in the title would've gelled with the word "Unforgiven" even more-so ?
.
@@trevordoolan5011 wel the album sold well and the song it’s like a classic so … i think the band knew what they were doing
If you haven't done One by Metalica you need to. You'll want to do the video with it, as it ties into the book & movie Johnny Got His Gun.
They've done One and For Whom the Bell Tolls besides this one.
This song is about about James Hetfield and the struggles he had with religion-related to his mom’s death. His relatives did not want to give James’s mom the treatment she needed because they thought God would help her through it. He starts to question the legitimacy of religion.
I thought that was “The god that Failed”

@@specialteams28 Agnostic or religious? Which is it? A: Agnostic.

You want HARD Metallica? Whiplash or The Four Horsemen from their 1st album Kill 'em All (1983). Either will melt your face off! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

A major factor in Metallica'ss greatness, was the quuality in their consistency.
...and then came "St.Anger."
“Nothing else matters” is a must for you to check
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER! Great post Jay. You guys r awesome!
The Black album introduced me to Metallica. I was 15 when it came out and it blew my fricken mind. I went back and sifted through their past work and was sold. A baby metal head emerged.
Metallica's cover of "Turn the Page" is awesome. Might want to add it to the list! Keep doing what y'all do!
This is my favorite Metallica cover!
Yes! Just um, maybe find a lyric-video version of it rather than the official music video. *LOL* There's a LOT they'd have to edit out.
That's a fantastic cover. The video is not too shabby either :)
Whiskey in the Jar, also a great one from Garage Days.
Not a fan at all huge fan of Bob Seagers version love Metallica but not a top 10 song at all

Best intro of all time!!!! Period...zero questions. You want HARD Metallica...
Master of Puppets
Love it, 2 of my suggestions so far in one day! You're killing it! And Happy birthday, Amber!
Metallica- Enter Sandman is great but harder
4:03 Amber, the last track on this album is LITERALLY called The Struggle Within. 🤘🏻😂🔥
Try “One” by Metallica. It has something for everyone
Was just gonna say listen to One also . Metallica is such a great rabbit hole to go down . ❤️
Yeah if you want something hard and driving... One is the best option.
Rob already did ONE
I love Amber's take. We aren't black or white, left or right, we are Human beings! Everyone should be free to be who they are!
Got to see Metallica in the 80's - they were opening for Ozzy - went to see Ozzy - left LOVING Metallica !! SO Awesome !

Bleeding Me is another one you'd probably like from Metalica.
I have been listening to Metallica since I was 16 and I am 51 now . Love them so much !!!
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood, Dese guys is all da kine.
Prince is truly incendiary at the end!
Phil Collins Farewell Tour - Drums and "Take Me Home" 77 yrs of music in my head . I'll never lead you wrong !

"Wherever I may roam" starts playing in my head at the end...
Great song and one of my favourite Metallica ones.
A great Disturbed cover is Sound of Silence (by Simon & Garfunkel) which puts a new spin on the song that blows you away... perhaps listen to the original first.
I AGREE
Yes I suggested this on the last Simon and Garfunkel reaction!
Yes listen to the original by Simon & Garfunkel 👍🏻
You've been from one end of the spectrum with Metallica to the other. I would suggest going from one end of the spectrum with Disturbed to the other and react to The Sound of Silence. You will not be disappointed. That will turn Amber into a Disturbed fan.

Metallica's UNFORGIVEN is part of a TRILOGY - They tell a story and should be listened to consecutively.
.
Unforgiven I - th-cam.com/video/Ckom3gf57Yw/w-d-xo.html - First (1991)
Unforgiven II - th-cam.com/video/5bt7kAVxKfs/w-d-xo.html - Most popular (1998)
Unforgiven III - th-cam.com/video/OMJREChN8nY/w-d-xo.html - Best of the 3 (2008)
The songs are about sin and consequence, forgiveness and unforgiveness.
This has always been my favorite Metallica song. I don’t remember if Amber reacted to One by Metallica but I’d love to see that. That and Fade To Black. Fade to Black for the amazing guitar solo!
Happy birthday Mama Amber! Love Metallica! You should react to Enter Sandman by Metallica
If you look at most of the lyrics that James Hetfield writes, they are very deep. Even master of puppets and One are very strong lyrically but also masterpieces in instrumental. Check out enter Sandman in Moscow.

Maybe do all 3 on the same day, one day🤔.
Ugh!!!!.....U2 and Mary J Blige!!!! One... Love Love Love it!!
When you said it sounds like a struggle within I thought right away you should listen to the Metallica song "Struggle Within"
Same!
Think for yourself, be free, be you 💖 hard Metallica~ Disposable Heroes or Creeping Death or Leper Messiah ❤️🔥🙌🏼😎
Absolutely love the message of being your authentic self. That’s been one of the big struggles in my life, realizing I’m a trans woman and figuring out what that means. So everyday I just try to unlearn the rules pushed on me and be who I am inside.
I went to tech school with a trans male and consider him one of my better friends. Give him a bro hug Everytime I see him.
We love you, you are blessed!
Kudos for braving the journey to being your true self. I know it won't be an easy ride, but you WILL meet folks that love and treasure you if you haven't already. Just remember: you are one of a kind, and just like everyone else you ARE special. Love and support from a Cali rocker!
I've seen some of y'alls reactions here and there, and saw a few last night. Today I binge watched your channel and y'all now have a new subscriber. Thanks for everything y'all are doing and keep it up👍👍👍
Amber, this is a little slower, you should like this better.
I've seen then 4 times, always a great show.
Hard Metallica? try Master of Puppets.
Master of puppets is truly on of Metallica hardest songs and my favorite of all time u guys gotta listen to it. Great job as always 👍
The Unforgiven are James's parents. It's about him growing up in a very fanatic religious family.
Next you should react to: ONE
Jay did in the beginning of the channel
One band I regret not seeing in concert. I'm 55 and still rocking with Metallica.
(SYMPHONIC METAL) From one Okie to another, "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish is something y'all need to hear. It has the rock, metal, symphonic sounds and one of the best female vocalists EVER! It could easily be used as a music score for a movie! It will lead you down a rabbit hole. Choose the lyric video from the 2013 Wacken concert.
An introduction to the Queen of Heavy Metal
100% yes... must do this.
This song is pure genius!!! I used to play this song in my walkman, and just close my eyes. That was 30 years ago, and I still can't listen to this song without closing my eyes! Thanks!
If you like Metallica; and you want “real” Metallica; Enter The Sandman and Master of Puppets are must!! Great content; keep it up!
Those two t-shirts you guys are wearing Vaughan and Floyd wow, that's simply outstanding really cool
He won't forgive those who didn't allow him to be himself. You labeled me, I label you. I dub (label) thee (you) Unforgiven. F you for making me die regretfully, basically. So intense.
Unforgiven is my favorite Metallica song….but really love their music❤️❤️❤️
If you want to bring Amber to the light, try to have her listen to For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride By Lightning, Master of Puppet, Fade to Black, and of course Orion and Call of Ktulu. Metallica will inevitably grow on her.
This old lady love some rock n roll. I've listened from 58 to current.
Since you've listened to Simon & Garfunkel as well as Disturbed, if you haven't listened to Disturbed's version of Sounds of Silence you really must do it. A totally different sound from Simon & Garfunkel's version.
A long time back I was at a soccer tournament held in fields adjacent to the football stadium where Metallica was playing that night. They were setting up and tuning, and started to play and I swear that I was about 500 yards away and the trees I was standing by started shaking from their volume. I could feel the bass resonate through my body. I can't imagine being stage side!!! Amazing...
“Unforgiven 3 “from the Death Magnetic album is a masterpiece.
2 was my favorite. But all 3 are good.
People were so ready not to like Death Magnetic before it even came out. They'd labelled it before it had a chance too. There are some strong tracks on there though, so more fool them.
@@justtryingthings425 Agreed, Death Magnetic was a solid album tbh.
From the Black album. Awesome awesome. I was lucky enough to see Metallica live on many occasions and they were brilliant.
You should never label anybody until you get to know them, A lot of people label me as a nerd just because I like to study things in space but the people that know me know I like to rock and I have played guitar in several bands over the years. You can't judge a book by it's cover, you have to read the book to know what it is about and the same with people. You can't judge a person by the cover, you have to get to know that person to really understand who that person is.
Very happy to see a reaction that delves into the lyrics. It’s powerful, insightful, and relatable to many.
React to MASTER OF PUPPETS! 🔥🔥🔥
This is one of my all time favorite songs by Metallica. It was HUGE back in the early 90's when the Black Album came out. It was an epic event everytime it came on MTV. Back when MTV was real music! I will always love this song!
Metallica Enter Sandman Live in Moscow pleaaaase
love how you guys always talk about being who you are and being your own person. keep up the amazing work :)
"The Unforgiven" are the lead singer's parents. (James Hetfield is the lead singer.)
He struggles with his how he was raised. Christian Science family and his Mom died from cancer and never went medical treatment. God was going to cure her, he was 16 when she passed away and he ended up living with his older brother. If I’m remembering right the song The God That Failed is about his life and losing his Mom.
I sway during those parts of the song too. There's just something about the way the melody and the lyrics work together.
Is anyone else having sound issues on the video they are playing?? Not when they are talking.
Sound like an old vinyl played too many times🤨
Yes I was too. Was hoping it wasn't me and my new cellphone.
Yes. I tried on both phone and iPad. It’s the video because they sound fine when they are talking.
Happy Belated Bday Amber! You guys rock and thank you for taking good care of us!!!
...dunno why people are telling you to do the lyric video versions...the official video is much better. You see their music put to video, and have a face behind the voice.
I agree, I much prefer seeing how the band performs the lyrics just show the words, the emotion is more academic than felt.
It helps to understand the lyrics. As they like to study and disect the meaning of songs.
Even at their "hardest," Metallica is a bunch of incredibly talented fellas who write really well, play even better, and they're just *chef's kiss*. Always highly melodic, and to me even meditative with these steady beats, whatever the speed. Metallica fuckin' relaxes me. I've gotten to see them live a couple of times, just excellent. I like to say I'm pretty sure James didn't even know he was a baritone till the 90s. He's one of a long list of singers who fucked up his vocal cords and had to learn proper technique when recovering.
You were pumped for something hard and picked possibly the least hard Metallica song ever 😂
that's the beauty of reactions!
Hero of the day is a good transition song. My personal favorite is "NO LEAF CLOVER"!!!
Is it me or them? There is a lot of static sound!
Ya sound is messed up something bad
This was the first song heard at 1991 from Metallica, I knew they exists before but some reason I didn’t hear them before but after I heard this song they caught me for ever.
No labels we are just humans.. that is why I love you guys!😊❤️
I love the "Amber Sway". You two bring me joy, every single day. Thank you.
I'm new to Metallica, but I really like this. I really like the message behind the lyrics and the whole vibe of it. I'm going to check our more of their songs.
Man I love you guys! I love your appreciation for music! I love how you two are besties! and I love your compassion for people! You deserve all the blessings you get.
Love their versatility. One of my favs.
Great Song from a great album! Another melo deep meaningful song of this album is “Nothing else matters”. Try it out!
Nothing else matters by metallica is pretty calm
Pretty much everybody likes Enter Sandman by Metallica. It's not a softer song but it's super infectious. One of those you can't get out of your head. Oh and One of the subscribers, Jeff called y'all Jamber yesterday. We took a vote ( 2 person). We're doing that now. 😊 Love y'all Jamber!!!
I have been a guitar player for 40 years, and this James Hetfield guitar solo makes me weep. It is my absolute favorite recorded solo ever. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.
You two make one of the best reactions I've ever seen in internet so far ! Thank you for M.j. (Its my idol ) for AC/DC, Guns&Roses ... and NOW for Metallica reactions... for every single one that you have done so far ! You don't just hear the music you react on, you 2 are geting inside every melody and try to really understand and feel it with you souls .. Unforgiven is my special favorite song because of someone from my family who past away when I was a kid and because of him I know that kind of music ... so its very special for me and yes, I know Metallica its not a band that everyone woud understan ,so for me to see pure reaction like this here...really makes my heart full of good emotions ! Thank you both for this ! Keep it up !
"To live is to die" is a must reaction.. even if you listen to it on your own.. songs a journey in of it's self..
I'm a long time Metallica fan. I like all of their music. Some people are too critical about their music after the Black Album. But these guys are now old men making metal music that still kicks ass.
UNFORGIVEN ROCKS!
I LIVE THE LYRICS!
I've been thrashing to metallica since late 90s but THIS MY FAV METALLICA SONG❤❤❤
I appreciate your guys appreciation for all kinds of music!
Black hardrock,
Mothers finest, peace of rock
