How about what you just said..,if people think that video is degrading start doing some comparisons with today's pop garbage!! It's very weak in that aspect!
Never ceases to amaze me how people can be so dense as to miss the message of the song. It's obvious to most thinking humans that the video isn't praising the situation.
Americans are kind of ret*rded when it comes to anything that would have upset the puritans. It's not the majority, but their hysteria is powerful and the media loves amplifying it.
Right. I don't get how people can't interpret music videos. People seem to understand movies. They don't think Spielberg was promoting the Holocaust with Schindler's List.
I saw the video when it came out when I was 17 and very concrete in my thinking. A LOT went over my head, but the meaning of the video was pretty clear. This isn’t Crüe, FFS.
A video that brings to light a harsh reality for some people. The fact that people would want it banned shows that they'd rather no one know this and hide it away.

People used to leave their kids alone all the time to go work. Heck, my parents left me alone all day to go work when I was 7. Its the reason GenX was often refered to as the latchkey generation.
i was a latch key kid in spring '93 because of my mom's work schedule. i would walk a short distance home, have the downstairs to myself, read comic books and listen to the radio. good times.
I feel weird. My mother left my sister as a I alone every night starting at ages 8 & 9. Taught us don't answer the door, don't ever say your mom isn't home etc.. I never saw it as wrong & I wasn't scared. She didn't have any other choice, & she was barely able to pay for our 1 bedroom apartment as it was.
The video makes a positive and essential statement about parental responsibility being paramount. People being distracted, shocked, and offended by the imagery is not the band's fault.
LOL. My brother in law was in a band in high school with James Hetfield in Downey before he tried out and joined with Metallica. The entire family remember James H. (also the first name of my B.I.L.) as he would stay over at their house on many occasions. Their family was not broken up and was a happy home. Something James H. didn't have with his parents or at his "home". His music reveals his struggles as a kid. I think he is plenty qualified to talk about childhood trauma.
That's a great story, but James and Lars started Metallica lol. Lars put out an ad in a paper looking for others and James responded, I believe that's the story
I sang turn the page to my newborn son to get him to sleep. Its always just been us two. His mom got post partem depression and left 15 years later were still here
Imagine that they wanted an actress to act to fill the role that they needed for the song. Sick of these people coming back out of the woodwork 20 years later and talking shit
Imagine wanting to pretend that if you sin you go to a not a gingerbread home in the sky, but a very painful sounding bubbly lake of fire for all eternity like the type of people alec baldwin and alice cooper says?
Prospcuted for child endngerment?????? WTF That dude should be embarressed as hell for making that comment. Thats top 3 of the stupidest words ive ever heard. Jeez
@@mitchellforney6109 Like when the carpet bombs shove the victims under a rug of willful stockholm syndrome ignorance, and the band played on? Too bad we only live once no matter what any musician sings during the 3rd verse and such.
When I was around 8-9 years old, I saw that music video for the first time. And, despite the fact I didn't know any English back then, I immediately understood what this video is about and it hit me like a freight train. Needles to say music video like this would't be made today.
When music videos had the ability to spark outrage and start dialogue. Nobody I know took issue. Ah the good ole days. They hit a nerve with conservatives.
Yeah, now it would be liberals. Probably angry it didn't have enough minority representation. Though they'd probably be fine with it if it were a black woman getting knocked around by an evil white guy.
Lol. It was the Tipper Gores of the world censoring everything back then. Censoring lyrics and sexual content. They've always loved institutional outage.
With the comment about Metallica not understanding, I think it can be translated like this. "Don't take my spotlight." The fact that people can't believe that different people can understand, or relate comes down to their own narcissism. Someone like this just wants the attention, and doesn't understand themselves.
Basically "stay in your lane." But a band like Metallica has a much wider audience than some local women's rights charity and can reach millions more people.
@@rhomotor I love both versions. But yeah Seger's version is still A+. I like the quiet, intimate feel of the song. The bass line makes the song work so well.
It wasn't a death metal act, Jonas Akerlund played drums for fucking BATHORY. He was on the Scandinavian Metal Attack split on the songs "Sacrifice" and "The Return of the Sarkness and Evil." Only real time Bathory were a band, but its a huge claim to fame.
I Remember when this Song Came out along with the video. I don't remember any Uproar at all. Napster? Yeah that was an uproar but Turn the Page? The only real Controversy was People saying "How much more into Pussiness can Metallica get?" And even that wasn't a Big Deal as it was relatively few saying that 😅
I am very much the same... I LOVE Metallica's cover of Turn the Page so much, it is probably my fave cover by them,... it is nostalgic and I heard their version of the song first before the original.
I like Bob's version more....though kirk's use of slide guitar was well thought out and is a unique way to do it so Metallica gets some credit there.... the video is good....i have no issues and I think the point of it was well made, the activists just want things to be stupid about and be offended!, unless you're talking save the whales or rainforest stuff like that, then I stand against your activism! it isn't needed or useful 99% of the time!
Even if it was "save the whales" or "save the rainforest" nonsense, there is a hilarious hypocrisy to environmental propaganda, especially when tyrants like Obama destroy a country like Libya and none of them say a thing. Just goes to sure that you never listen to controlled ideologues.
Uh, no. Night Moves, Hollywood Nights, Main Street, Her Strut, Like a Rock, The Fire Down Below, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, THEN Katmandu. Seger is on par with Springsteen, Petty, Mellencamp, any of the All Time Greats.
I still tell people, under a variety of scenarios, “I’m going to Katmandu!” “Against The Wind,” “Down On Main Street,” and “Fire Down Below” are also favorites. Bob Seeger gave us some great songs!
I loved the coverz of Whiskey and Page . Metallica helped the OGs to get back in the scene. I remember, Turn the Page video had two versions for MTV ..Whoever was against the song & video , were actually the first WOKE douchebags even long before WOKE S***T started... .I feel o lucky to see Metallica on tour back in the 90s .
I think they included their Mercyful Fate medley in their Guitar Hero game instead because they wanted to only have their songs they included to be all original. Granted, it's a medley of covers, but the arrangement of the medley is original to them.
I was never a huge fan of this song, but I once spent 2 months on tour with a crazy rock band, and 2 things that constantly came to mind (for different reasons) were Turn the Page and This Is Spinal Tap. Both perfectly represent what it's like spending long periods of time on tour in different ways. The Astoria in London had a crazy multi-level backstage area, and the whole time I was trying to navigate it I kept saying "Hello Cleveland!!"
When this came out I remember seeing Hetfield complaining about how he hated when he'd hear that saxophone and this song came on the radio. I remember thinking "he got called a sellout for cutting his hair, and not for covering a commercial hit he despises?"
Man, I was so sick of this song after a few months. I only had a radio in my car, and it was non-stop. Nothing wrong with the song, but I don't need it every day.
Grew up in a small town and we had a choice of oldies, country, pop or the 1 rock station. Of course as a teenager I was all about the rock station, but it seemed to be ran by the biggest metallica fan ever because every morning from 6am-7am was straight metallica. On the way to school was ALWAYS metallica. Let's just say I can appreciate the music but I'll not be caught dead listening to it for fun
I fucking loved this song and video as a kid. Not even a huge metallica fan but this shit was a banger. I was 12 when it came out and I grew up spending a lot of time in bars while my mom worked so I could relate.
Your channel is such a treat. Your knowledge of subject and love of music is really infectious. You’ve got me enjoying music that I’ve always loved in new ways, and also learning new topics that had escaped me at the time. Keep up the great work!
I'm not much into Metallica anymore, but their covers are really great, often even improving a lot the original versions and bringing them up to new generations, like it was my case back then and certainly was the case for many others and probably still is nowadays. The Garage Inc album is really epic
I have the Guitar Hero answer! Bob Seger's version is in, and so is Mercyful Fate's Evil, Diamond Head's Am I Evil, Queen's Stone Cold Crazy, and Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone, as the band wanted to shine the spotlight on the originals of their covers.
Metallica got me through my hard times from a broken family while helping my orphaned runaway friends find food... Spanging at the pit t stop for food money... Some have no idea...
The video for this song shines a glaringly bright light on the harsh realities of life for many people, it's a brilliant social commentary. And as mentioned in one of the quotes it totally deglamorizes that whole stripper genre. If you can watch that video and not be affected by it there's something wrong with you.
I never knew this was controversial, I used to see that video all the time when it came out 🤷. Guess the harsh reality of the video is too much. Now everyone wants to know if the band is “sketchy” (cringe) Also who’s a Ginger Lynn fan 🙆♂️?
As a "non north american citizen" I must say I had no idea of all that controversy, and it's quite surprising to know that happened. Especially at that time. It should be praised, instead of criticized. Such message is so relevant that it remains really important even to this day. It is no way different or less important in this aspect than Chickenfoot's video for "Three Letters and a Half" for example, and to have even WOMEN'S RIGHTS organization complaining about it, is really surreal. Another great video, like always. This channel is really great.
The message isn't any more clear or more powerful... it's a SAD message. It hurts. Sometimes we need to suck it up and swallow those pills we don't always like for our own good. 🤐
No one could ever do Turn The Page better than Bob Seger. The atmosphere, the story telling, the emotion and Segers voice are all the best in this song. Metallica did a great cover, but nowhere near Bob Segers
Their cover of Tuesday's Gone is awesome on that album. Not to mention pulling in Pepper, Jerry, Les, and John to join them in it. Oh yeah and I can't forget that Garry Rossington came in too
I used to play in a bluegrass band where I played mandolin, banjo, and square neck resonator/Dobro. I played the dobro for the sax part kinda like Kirk, though he wasn’t my inspiration. It got good reception at shows. People love that song.
Garage, Inc. was the first Metallica album I truly regretted buying. It was terrible. Load/Reload were borderline, but Garage, Inc. solidified Metallica as washed up. They should have hung it up. Everything after was even more horrid. They were my heroes back in the day.
This comment is really disappointing. 0 out of 10. This solidifies the fact this commenter is a simpleton and any opinion he/shey/they advance is less than useless.
Metallica one of my favorite bands! I have been to many of their concerts! This was the first concert that I took my boys to see! Winnebago County, outdoor. Alice in chins opened. We had a blast! ✌🏼🎃
Absolutely, the band should be held responsible for child endangerment when they had absolutely nothing to do with a child actor be left alone in a room with her guardian, a director, a camera man, lighting specialist, makeup artist, go-fors, etc. Must have been so scary for her!
I was first made aware of the song in '90 or '91. I heard it on the radio several times and loved the song and the immense bass it had. So I bought the CD but was disappointed that the mega bass sound was not there and it just kinda sounded ordinary. It turns out that the local radio station added a bass boost to their outgoing audio to make all their songs sound fatter. A couple years later In the summer of 1993 I had a friend build me a ridiculously loud car stereo and I found that missing bass.
My favorite Metallica song is Turn the page.I like the songs Wherever I may roam,Fuel, Whiskey in the jar,Master of puppets,Leper massiah,The shortest straw,Creaping death,no leaf clover,and One
Garage days came out before load, eventually they took covers off older releases and put them on Garage Days. Like Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg. The track list just keeps getting updated for Garage Days.
No one sings it better than Bob. He stated that at the amphitheater his voice sounded really good and they made it the live version. In any case, be cool tune to paint some art too. ~Panzik Artistry
Garage Inc was more so a mosh of songs off singles or albums where they removed songs on second runs. Kill em All for instance, Am I evil WAS the last track on cassette and LP, but was (still is?) removed from CD.
I saw Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band in 1979. "Turn the Page" is kind of a slow song compared to a lot of the other stuff they were playing at the time, but that opening soprano sax riff is intense. I don't hate the Metallica version, but Bob and his band did it best.
The only 3 Bob Seger songs you ever hear on the radio in my area are Turn the Page, Against the Wind, and Night Moves--and they all sound so similar that they might as well be the same song. I know Bob Seger has a lot more material than that, but his "Big Hits" kind of screwed him over by making him seem like a one-trick pony.
The Uncensored version of the "Turn The Page" video is... without a doubt, one of the best videos Metallica ever did. It's up there with "One", only below it because it's a covertune (but a DAMN GOOD version, when it comes to covertunes). I know the same guy did a lot of their videos on both "Re-Load" and "Garage Inc." (that WASN'T Wayne Isham), and was getting more positive critical attention for the videos than Metallica did for the "Re-Load" album, and while even MTV tried to play "Whiskey In The Jar" off as the better video for a while (LIKELY because of this), in the long run.... the "Turn The Page" video is a really good (yet sad and DARK) telling of a piece of life. You go to watch that and think it's a skin video over a really artistic depressing story of survival in the concrete jungle, and not a promotion of that lifestyle and everything shown therein.... you're the one with the actual problems.
I love this song - the original was one of my mom's favorites but the Metallica one made it one of my favorites. My mom is gone but now everytime I hear it I get a little tear in my eye.
Love Metallica but honestly in my opinion that video went nowhere and sucked , they could have done better and give it more of a story line than guessing what the hell is this about .
I love this album, but I actually believe Astronomy was the best cover there. I used it as my alarm clock tune in high school (back when the only way to do it was to have a windows 95 scheduled task to load a Winamp playlist).
I personally don't care for the video, but their cover of "Turn the Page" is absolutely brilliant. The feel and emotion is spot on and the change in instrumentation makes it their own.

Great video, thank you. I wasn't going to watch it right now, but once I got started I was glued. Then I read through a bunch of comments.
Yeah comments were all over the place
Another well produced, informative video. This is one of my favourite channels.
I have the Guitar Hero answer! Bob Seger's version is in, and so is Mercyful Fate's Evil, Diamond Head's Am I Evil, Queen's Stone Cold Crazy, and Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone, as the band wanted to shine the spotlight on the originals of their covers.
Tuesday they only covered live, but still.
I like how on the complaints came from Europeans that most likely have socialized child care which is not a reality in the U.S.
Metallica got me through my hard times from a broken family while helping my orphaned runaway friends find food... Spanging at the pit t stop for food money... Some have no idea...
It’s not socialized for most. It’s regulated that everyone has insurance not that it’s all free.
I’ve never been a big Metallica fan but I do like their cover of Turn the Page. But I do believe Bob did it better.
The video for this song shines a glaringly bright light on the harsh realities of life for many people, it's a brilliant social commentary. And as mentioned in one of the quotes it totally deglamorizes that whole stripper genre. If you can watch that video and not be affected by it there's something wrong with you.
Well said
The video is inspired by Ken Russell's movie "Whore" where Ginger Lynn also appeared, but not in the leading role.
If kids were watching that video on MTV, that means the REAL parents might be doing the same aka The Cable Guy.
I never knew this was controversial, I used to see that video all the time when it came out 🤷. Guess the harsh reality of the video is too much. Now everyone wants to know if the band is “sketchy” (cringe)
Also who’s a Ginger Lynn fan 🙆♂️?
As a "non north american citizen" I must say I had no idea of all that controversy, and it's quite surprising to know that happened. Especially at that time. It should be praised, instead of criticized. Such message is so relevant that it remains really important even to this day. It is no way different or less important in this aspect than Chickenfoot's video for "Three Letters and a Half" for example, and to have even WOMEN'S RIGHTS organization complaining about it, is really surreal. Another great video, like always. This channel is really great.
The song and video are great. I never knew people were upset by the video back in the day.
Segars version is better because it carries some weight. Metallica is fantastic, and I like their version, but Bob's version is a classic.
The message isn't any more clear or more powerful... it's a SAD message. It hurts. Sometimes we need to suck it up and swallow those pills we don't always like for our own good. 🤐
I laughed out loud when I first heard Metallica did a Bob Seger cover.
Skip to 8:48
No one could ever do Turn The Page better than Bob Seger. The atmosphere, the story telling, the emotion and Segers voice are all the best in this song.
Metallica did a great cover, but nowhere near Bob Segers
Wrong
Their cover of Tuesday's Gone is awesome on that album. Not to mention pulling in Pepper, Jerry, Les, and John to join them in it. Oh yeah and I can't forget that Garry Rossington came in too
I used to play in a bluegrass band where I played mandolin, banjo, and square neck resonator/Dobro. I played the dobro for the sax part kinda like Kirk, though he wasn’t my inspiration. It got good reception at shows. People love that song.
Thanks for sharing.
I remember when the album and this video came out, I don't remember any controversy
Garage, Inc. was the first Metallica album I truly regretted buying. It was terrible. Load/Reload were borderline, but Garage, Inc. solidified Metallica as washed up. They should have hung it up. Everything after was even more horrid. They were my heroes back in the day.
Feel better?
@@MikeBeltMikeBeltnot yet but your mom's coming round later gonna make her take out her false teeth and gum me
This comment is really disappointing. 0 out of 10. This solidifies the fact this commenter is a simpleton and any opinion he/shey/they advance is less than useless.
3:16 forgot about Running On Empty by Jackson Browne, one of the greatest songs about the touring life ever recorded.
Metallica one of my favorite bands! I have been to many of their concerts! This was the first concert that I took my boys to see! Winnebago County, outdoor. Alice in chins opened. We had a blast! ✌🏼🎃
Absolutely, the band should be held responsible for child endangerment when they had absolutely nothing to do with a child actor be left alone in a room with her guardian, a director, a camera man, lighting specialist, makeup artist, go-fors, etc.
Must have been so scary for her!
I was first made aware of the song in '90 or '91. I heard it on the radio several times and loved the song and the immense bass it had. So I bought the CD but was disappointed that the mega bass sound was not there and it just kinda sounded ordinary. It turns out that the local radio station added a bass boost to their outgoing audio to make all their songs sound fatter. A couple years later In the summer of 1993 I had a friend build me a ridiculously loud car stereo and I found that missing bass.
I can't stop laughing at Bob SEWER!!! Good one!
Well done for mentioning Jon English. If you haven't heard it, have a listen.
Great video. You explained it on all levels. Thank you. Great job.
My favorite Metallica song is Turn the page.I like the songs Wherever I may roam,Fuel, Whiskey in the jar,Master of puppets,Leper massiah,The shortest straw,Creaping death,no leaf clover,and One
Garage days came out before load, eventually they took covers off older releases and put them on Garage Days. Like Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg. The track list just keeps getting updated for Garage Days.
No one sings it better than Bob. He stated that at the amphitheater his voice sounded really good and they made it the live version. In any case, be cool tune to paint some art too. ~Panzik Artistry
Best road song in my opinion the highway song... Blackfoot awesome tune
There's nothing wrong with the video. Those comments complaining about it are so stupid I can hardly believe they said that.
Garage Inc was more so a mosh of songs off singles or albums where they removed songs on second runs. Kill em All for instance, Am I evil WAS the last track on cassette and LP, but was (still is?) removed from CD.
I saw Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band in 1979. "Turn the Page" is kind of a slow song compared to a lot of the other stuff they were playing at the time, but that opening soprano sax riff is intense. I don't hate the Metallica version, but Bob and his band did it best.
the people that had a problem with the video, we'll, that's just ignorant, I mean come on, wtf
The only 3 Bob Seger songs you ever hear on the radio in my area are Turn the Page, Against the Wind, and Night Moves--and they all sound so similar that they might as well be the same song. I know Bob Seger has a lot more material than that, but his "Big Hits" kind of screwed him over by making him seem like a one-trick pony.
Yes Bob Seger did this song wayyy better than Metallica.
I just clicked to see Ginger Lynn not sit through to hear about Bob Seager
Their best cover is “Die Die Die My Darling” by Misfits by far 🤘 Kicks so much ass it ain’t even funny
I prefer "Am I Evil?"... 🤣🤣🤣
Breadfan for me.
The Uncensored version of the "Turn The Page" video is... without a doubt, one of the best videos Metallica ever did. It's up there with "One", only below it because it's a covertune (but a DAMN GOOD version, when it comes to covertunes). I know the same guy did a lot of their videos on both "Re-Load" and "Garage Inc." (that WASN'T Wayne Isham), and was getting more positive critical attention for the videos than Metallica did for the "Re-Load" album, and while even MTV tried to play "Whiskey In The Jar" off as the better video for a while (LIKELY because of this), in the long run.... the "Turn The Page" video is a really good (yet sad and DARK) telling of a piece of life.
You go to watch that and think it's a skin video over a really artistic depressing story of survival in the concrete jungle, and not a promotion of that lifestyle and everything shown therein.... you're the one with the actual problems.
I love this song - the original was one of my mom's favorites but the Metallica one made it one of my favorites. My mom is gone but now everytime I hear it I get a little tear in my eye.
How dare people tell the truth the media don't like the truth the song did exactly what it was supposed to do well well great song great video
Love Metallica but honestly in my opinion that video went nowhere and sucked , they could have done better and give it more of a story line than guessing what the hell is this about .
Its called art, which is open to various interpretations.
Direct info, without critical thinking, is only spoon fed to slow people.
Art* was the original by Bob Seger , can't copy the Mona Lisa, and call it a original .
I assume they didnt want to share royalties from the game with Bob Seger.
I love this album, but I actually believe Astronomy was the best cover there. I used it as my alarm clock tune in high school (back when the only way to do it was to have a windows 95 scheduled task to load a Winamp playlist).
How about doing a story on the band dimondhead.
Yes! Please!! I think lots of people would like to know more about the band Diamond Head. 👍
As a fellow Canadian, do you remember the Too Much For Much show?
They really went at it in regards to this video.
@@krymera666x7 yes I remember too much for much. It was mentioned in the article I described.
@@rnrtruestories I heard. Apologies, I posted my comment before watching the whole thing.
Can just imagine if that show existed today.
I vaguely remember this yeah
Glad I've never seen the video.
I personally don't care for the video, but their cover of "Turn the Page" is absolutely brilliant. The feel and emotion is spot on and the change in instrumentation makes it their own.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
It was a sad excellent music video.
James hated everything about the song and did not want to record it.
Bob Seger's 'Turn the page' is much better.
Turn the Page is the best music video ever made. It expanded the song beyond the ordinary.
🤘MetallicA for life🤘
