I am and have been homeless before and Metallica's ability to reach into that side of yourself that you find out here is astounding. It doesn't make you want to quit though. Sometimes it gives you a release and you get a bit teary. This and Wherever I may Roam I need to listen to sometimes.
I won't be the only person to post this, but this song actually saved me from suicide when I was a teenager struggling with mental illness in the early 1990s. Back then, mental health wasn't taken seriously at all.
I read a comment elsewhere that said the person in this song died thousands of times so the people listening that really needed it could live. It's powerful shit
This is my favorite Metallica song. Has been since I first heard it in about 1985. The deep lyrics, the killer riffs, the transition back and forth from mellow to heavy. This song just has it all.
Just for fun, listen to War Pigs by Black Sabbath and compare it to this one. They are built the same. They sound very different but the changes and choice of where to go with the music are the same. If you know this one in and out you will hear it. I had been listening to both these songs for years and one day I played them on guitar one after the other and discovered it. That was a very cool realization.
My wife walked down the aisle to the opening instrumentals of this song and it will play at my funeral. I've said it since the 80's This is the greatest song ever written.
Yes, exactly. I had known the song for years. Then I watched the live videos of it. Since then, for me it has been the best song in the world, of all groups and all songs. It's unbeatable live
I want it played at my funeral as well. At 20, I had a couple of extra traumas that almost did me in. My cousin kept checking on me through a locked door because Fade to Black was all I would listen to, and I wanted nothing to do with anything or anyone. The song didn't save me as many people say it has for them. I still take antidepressants. Too many people have to or they give up. They fade to black. 🖤
@@andrewmalidore1237the only reason people have such distain for St. Anger is because it wasn't the music that anyone could have imagined Metallica would ever make. I'd bet that at laest 90% (or more) of the people that think St. Anger blows, would have a different opinion about it if they'd never heard any of Metallica's other albums so they weren't expecting a specific style, if they didn't know it was Metallica when they heard it, or if it was released by a different band.
This song was a big part of the reason why myself and many others are still around to enjoy it. Having suicide written in such an emotional manner shows just how impactful Metallica was in music. I'm loving your journey friend. Can't wait to watch more of it! 🍻
It saved my life. Back in the day, I'd tell people I was a Metallica fan and they'd laugh and say they were all idiots. Sorry, babies. Anyone who can write a song THIS deep is NOT stupid. So take your snickering and SHOVE IT! METALLICA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents died to double murder/ suicide when I was 8. This was my suicide song throughout my childhood. Now, as a survivor and a father of 2 boys, and nearing 50, I look at this song as my suicide salvation. Metallica will Always be my greatest savior right behind God.
This song brings you to your knees, every note from the guitar makes you feel all the desperation and angst of a person who is in so much mental pain they just simply can't go on living anymore. This song makes you happy you're alive. This song saved me 35 years ago.
James Hetfield wrote this song after his guitar amp was stolen. It was special to him because his late Mother gifted it to him and he was devastated. Check out "Creeping Death" Live in Moscow. It will blow you away. Make sure to have the lyrics pulled up.
@@ilaser4064 Pretty sure you hearsay other's hearsay (: Their truck with all of their gear was hijacked and went into the horizon in Boston back in 1984. The only 2 pieces that fell out were Cliff's and Kirk's guitars.
@@ilaser4064 Right. But his mother gave him that amp on his sixteenth birthday. And that was his last birthday she was alive. So it was kinda sentimental to him.
My son lost his best friend in a car accident and he listened to this song over and over and over. I am so thankful that he is still with me today. It could’ve been such a different outcome.
I still cannot believe this was ever made, man! I was born in 1986 and these guys, being unexperienced 19-20 y.o. dudes composed this masterpiece with all these guitars! This is just so sick, man!
Greatest metal-ballad ever recorded…..unmatched…..and Kirk is playing his heart out in the otherworldly outtro solo 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘……imagine these guys were 21-22 when writing this craziness 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘…..geniuses….and; oh yes, subbed. Btw; Metallica’s greatest force is their live-performances….you have so many many many great Metallica-moments in front of you 🤘🤘🤘 ( look at my profile-photo where I stand next to Kirk Hammett in a Meet ‘n’ Greet 6 years ago
Metallica is good in expression just by music itself. I used to feel all the things from their songs without knowing English and far before I had an internet to get the lyrics and translation. Surely, after that I fell in love with them again)
Early Metallica There is no such thing as a bad or even average song. The early stuff Is literally The greatest metal Music ever invented especially first 3 albums
The tone of that entire albm still kills almost 40 years later. Shit man, i was 14 when this album dropped. I still remember my first listen vividly. I screamed, laughed, sobbed...that whole ablum moved my soul. Welcome to the pit youngblood
I think people have one idea of what Metallica sound like (that would describe me up to a couple of years ago), once you start to actually listen to then you find they have such a depth of sound and the feelings that are put into their music are so deep as well
James written that song after the theft of a Metallica's bus with equipment, after Metallica's first album they were still a small and not rich band, it was a loss of all their belongings and it caused such extreme emotions. Grettings from Poland 🤘
Youre the same age as ny son, and i have noticed your generation is really open minded to many generes and seem to be drawn to metal from the 80s and grunge from the 90s. Awesome video man!
10:33 Do it. I was the same as you when I discovered this type of music. You’ll get so much life satisfaction out of learning guitar, especially with metal. I can tell you’d be make a great metal guitarist. As emotional as this song is, nothing can match describing your own emotions and even changing up some of these songs as an electric guitarist
As a non metal fan this song was my first time listening to Metallica, Orion right after, of course i knew about them but never paid attention. Man these guys are beyond amazing the instrumental along seem to speak to you and take you places, definitely an experience!
The final solo, that lonely voice among all the clutter, gets me every time! Such a cry for help! Metallica made fantastic songs on their first four albums!
Metallica is the masters of transitions, they did it sooooo beautifully….their music is timeless!!!! Still sounds just as good today as it did in the 80’s-90’s
A little tidbit of info about the band's music. The Bass player on the first 3 albums, the phenom Cliff Burton, who died on the Masters tour, had a very LARGE part in playing and/or inspiring the riffs in the songs. You, not being a player, wouldn't immediately recognize that some of the riffs, especially on the instrumentals, were done on the Bass, not guitar. Cliff was elite in the metal realm.
This was the first Metallica song I ever heard, and it literally saved my life. To know that someone out there felt the same way I did made me feel not alone anymore, and I felt if he could continue, so could I. That was more than 25 years ago, and I'm finally getting to see them in concert this Sunday (Nov 5th.) It will be a life-long dream come true, and if they play this song, my life will be complete lol.
When this came out i recorded the song over and over on both sides of a casette tape and would have friends over and we would sit in my room in the dark listening to it for hours.
I'm 60 now, and a couple years ago I was blasting Metallica in my car (had a phenomenal sound system) and two young guys pull up next and I thought "here we go" thinking they were going to make fun of the old man and his music. The next thing I know they are singing along, Wayne's World fashion, complete with mad head banging. The light turned green and we parted with smiles on our faces and a couple thumbs up from them. Makes me smile even now to think about it.😁
Metallica are still gods of metal. No one can ever take that away. This song saved many peoples lives. The fading guitar solos by kirk are some of his best work. And how they keep going long after you think they would end which i think adds to the entire point of the song. Keep going. PS- metallica is the reason many of us got a guitar.... me included. now i have 8 :)
One of Metallica's masterpieces, audible art. The lyrics are deep and impactful.This song saved people's lives, mine included. One of my favorite songs.
Easily one of the best Metallica songs in their whole catalog. If you enjoyed this, I'm curious to see how you would enjoy something like Bleeding Me from Load. That album was NOT received well when it first came out, but I think it's aged incredibly well. I'd highly recommended giving Bleeding Me a listen.
This takes me back to my high school years when I got deep into Metallica and eventually saw them live during the 1999 European tour. Watching this, all I could think was "Good for you, bruv". I'm genuinely happy for you. Listening to these songs for the first time is truly a memorable experience (at least, it was for me). Some songs might not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. Most songs get better the more you listen to them, as you start to pick up on some subtle things here and there. Thanks for sharing your experience. And yes, I think that the urge to grow long hair, a goatee, and learn how to play guitar are common side effects of listening to Metallica :)
Fade to Black is one of my all time favorite songs. I love that Metallica songs have a lot if changes in them, yet the changes all work together. Here's another great Metallica song to try: No Leaf Clover. It was written specifically for the S&M album. This album included the San Francisco Orchestra and the song was written for this arrangement.
Fuck yeah. I posted a long list of suggestions under a previous video. Happy to do so again - or otherwise, honestly the best way to get into this band is listen to every album track by track from the beginning.
You mentioned this making you want to learn guitar. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood, live at the El Macombo. You will see what's possible on guitar.
I got back from DESERT STORM and my Fiance left me for another guy. I wrote these lyrics to all my friends and family, NOT MY EX, and tried taking my life. But I'M STILL BREATHING, thank someone, NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED BEING BROKEN over n over.
When I remember seeing METALLICA t-shirts in school was mid 80's Jr high school, and it wasn't the metalheads, it was the SKATERS and PUNKS, lots of different "cliques" in the 80's
This just related to me so much when I heard it 25 years ago that it made me start playing guitar, joined a band, toured all over the U.S. Fade To Black was the very first song I learned how to play. I opened up so mane doors for me as a beginner
New subscriber here. Loved the react. You said "if you know of any other Metallica songs" and I laughed. Pick one. Literally. Off their 1st 5 albums. Pick. Any. Song. WIN! Lol. Here's another must- listen: a band called Queensryche. Check out "Silent Lucidity", and especially their 1984 Tokyo video of "Take Hold of the Flame" Enjoy!
I actually haven't listened to this for 30 years! As a silly teenager this song was what I played when I tried to have a permanent sleep.. thank every music god I lived to only have this as a memory. Has definitely bought up a few feels, I am grateful I can listen to this as a mature lady and appreciate it for the song it is, because dang it is a goody... ✌️❤️🙏 To y'all 😁
You may or may not find the information about one of the original members , DAVE MUSTAIN, who actually wrote a lot of these songs. Formed his own band MEGADETH !!!
He wrote a riff for the RTL title track, that was changed a bit, and he wrote the opening riff for Call of Kutulu. He didn't write entire songs, or even close, on this album. Not taking a single thing away from Mr. Mustaine, obviously.
I'm 48, and Metallica made me want to learn the guitar at age 15 or something. To this day I keep an electric guitar around pretty much just to play Metallica riffs.
As a thrash metal guitarist from the 1988-1992, this song was one of our favourites to play at practise at our garage. We played our stuff, got drunk and covered Slayer and Metallica and other bands.... And we always had a special bond to this song.
Love watching you youngsters discovering these classic bangers! Props for expanding your horizons. Love the channel, you come across as truly genuine in your reactions. Keep expanding your soul young padawan.
I'd give up so much to hear their music again for the first time. Sometime in the future there is going to be a person that hears it and they will change the world with their own music.
This song digs deep in my very soul and literally saved my life when I wanted to end it all. It kills me to listen to it now, but makes me glad I decided to stick around and get the help I desperately needed.
Watched two of these and this is the best reaction since I watched my roommate watch the Sixth Sense for the 1st time 20 years after its release. Never saw it coming.

The ability Metallica have to convey emotion through their music is incredible, unmatched by just about any other group
The only other group that comes close to conveying emotion is Pink Floyd,in my opinion.
I am and have been homeless before and Metallica's ability to reach into that side of yourself that you find out here is astounding. It doesn't make you want to quit though. Sometimes it gives you a release and you get a bit teary.

@@chrissibersky4617 I had never thought about that before. I can see that! Great observation. Cheers!
The reason I learnt guitar , literally. Should go for it
Ditto!
What's really scary about this song, if it was written AFTER Cliff's death, you wouldn't have to change a single word.
My wife walked down the aisle to the opening instrumentals of this song and it will play at my funeral.

I still get goosebumps today and I’ve been listening since the 80’s. Lucky enough to see them twice. Both time phenomenal.
😊 Ditto to all of the above... 😈
seen them 8 times live now since 1984, impossible for others
Same here mate..and it not a flex but I saw them twice in one year.😂
They come to England...I'm there..🤟
Yeah I saw the from Master of puppets tour til the black album one of the best bands live ever❤
53 yo. Same feeling

They used to anyway. Not so sure anymore.

It makes me cry sometimes for my long lost youth 😢 The album that turned me to metal. Thank you Metallica 🤘❤️🤘

Lars Ulrich is knigthed. He was made a knight by the crown prince of Denmark. He is oficially "Ridder af Danebrog". (knight of the danish flag)

This music has the power to rewire your brain, your heart..your very perspective on life itself.
You may or may not find the information about one of the original members , DAVE MUSTAIN, who actually wrote a lot of these songs. Formed his own band MEGADETH !!!
He wrote a riff for the RTL title track, that was changed a bit, and he wrote the opening riff for Call of Kutulu. He didn't write entire songs, or even close, on this album. Not taking a single thing away from Mr. Mustaine, obviously.
I'm 48, and Metallica made me want to learn the guitar at age 15 or something. To this day I keep an electric guitar around pretty much just to play Metallica riffs.
As a thrash metal guitarist from the 1988-1992, this song was one of our favourites to play at practise at our garage. We played our stuff, got drunk and covered Slayer and Metallica and other bands.... And we always had a special bond to this song.
Very good Job ..!👏
Likes must be mandatory for this !!🤘✊
I started to play guitar by hearing Fade to Black ...!
Thanks For this souvenir ..!
Best Metallica song EVER! This is an epic masterpiece!
Brov you need to check The Day That Never Comes by Metallica. Absolutely insane, their instruments go to DEFCON5!!!
"I was me but now he's gone" 😥
The G.O.A.T.S.
All nightmare long live in Mexico City, no deep meaning but watching them play live is amazing
One of my favorite Metallica songs!
Love watching you youngsters discovering these classic bangers! Props for expanding your horizons. Love the channel, you come across as truly genuine in your reactions. Keep expanding your soul young padawan.
Creeping Death - Moscow, Four Horsemen, Battery, Blackened, Disposable Heros
I'd give up so much to hear their music again for the first time. Sometime in the future there is going to be a person that hears it and they will change the world with their own music.
This song digs deep in my very soul and literally saved my life when I wanted to end it all. It kills me to listen to it now, but makes me glad I decided to stick around and get the help I desperately needed.
Just wait until you hear the similarities with Unforgiven 1,2 and 3.
Mind blown
Someone posted a TH-cam vid with all three of those in order.
In my top 3 Metallica songs!
Watched two of these and this is the best reaction since I watched my roommate watch the Sixth Sense for the 1st time 20 years after its release. Never saw it coming.
