I personally didn't find it funny - but I will say - it's evident that she has a true spirit and soul to be so moved by music, and it is testimonial of how powerful a song that is.
@@Frostrazor I can see both. For anyone that has contemplated suicide, this is a somewhat comforting song... i.e. you aren't alone, lots of people feel like this. On the other hand it's kinda funny to see a regular person react to the words.
Now imagine being a lonely, kinda depressed 15 year old with no friends hearing this song back in the 80's. Realizing that other people feel this way makes it a little bit easier to cope with. And then you meet other loners that like the same band. Powerful music right here.
@Rob Kopple - it is still applicable to the adults, especially in the current times. Still very valid. Anybody who has been depressed in life, knows exactly what this song is about, and how difficult it is to fight it.
The lead singer, James Hetfield, was touring and had just started this band when his mother was dying from cancer. She wanted to leave something with him, so used her money to buy him an extremely expensive wonderful set of amplifiers. After she had passed away, and while he was still grieving, some roadie stole them and it felt like he had just lost the last piece he had of her. That was why he wrote this song. The lyrics are quite profound and bittersweet.
James' mom died when he was 16. He was 19 when he began dipping his toe into touring in '82. Amps & drums were stolen. Fortunately, all guitars went inside with them.
@@tallycahamuhlhetru26 I'm sure you're right about the timing, but the point of the song is how the theft brought back that pain again. He has written about his feelings about her passing in other songs, in "The God that failed." It's a deep subject for him is all I meant, whatever the timing. 🙂👍
Jayy~!~! love your channel! good stuff.. You wanna see a performance that will blow you away, it is kinda dated but "Roy Clark - Malaguena" man played Country music , but is such a master..
Watching the smile fall from your face as you heard the lyrics is absolutely fitting. This song perfectly encapsulates the allure of death to those who are suicidal. It caused quite a stir when it came out as a lot of people took it to be encouraging suicide. It doesn't. Fade to Black is a way for people who are battling to express how they feel, and a way for the people who support them to understand the battle.
Listening to his hour long soliloquy at the Guitar place (forget where), he describes the band was in Denmark (due to cheapness of recording studio time) and everyone was deeply homesick. He describes he just poured all those emotions into the solos in this album , so that would translate well to Fade to Black.
This song literally saved my life more than once. Just knowing that there was someone else in the world that felt like I did was enough to keep me hanging on. It was like I was not alone when I listened to it on the days I was close to ending myself.
This is the hidden beauty of the song. I’ve seen so many people with the same story. An incredible song on several levels. Great to know you’re still here and that you know you’re not alone.
At the time, they were roasted by the media for making a 'pro-suicide' song, but in the years since they have received thousands of letters from people who have thanked them for this song getting them through their dark times and pulling them away from suicide...
I have to admit that I sat with a loaded 9mm pistol on my lap in 1994, done in, finished, spent and more than ready to go, I put Fade To Black on and somewhere in the melody and vocals I changed my mind....funny what a song that "Glorifies" suicide can do to a 16 year old kid on a razors edge....
@@kindness81 me too. As crazy as it sounds, not necessarily the lyrics...they helped, but the outro solo is what has kept me here. How could I make the ultimate decision and never be able to hear this again. One of the most beautiful guitar solos ever written!
First time I heard this I was way too young to fully understand it. I did however develop a deep love for Metallica because of it. Thank you, that song is so deep.
The way you reacted to this song makes me think you have a good heart.I listened to this music all the time in my late teens/early twenties.I was an alcoholic and drug addict for ten years,on the verge of having liver damage from alcohol at the age of 25.I went to a church on a Friday night and received prayer from the preacher.The next morning I woke up with no craving for my habits.That will be thirty-one years ago this July,and I have been completely free all these years. ♥ I
One simply could not script this stuff any better. Your enthusiasm and smile in your heart - I knew deep in side that smile was gonna begin to fade....and little by little you realized the depth of the meaning of this song. This song is precisely why I don't understand why so many people try to get reactioners new to Metallica to check out One as their first intro. This song is so much better to feel and heard the profound meaning and hardcore sound in those riffs. Jayy - consider for a moment how much in common rap and metal have - people think from the surface it's two different worlds and two different cultures, but back when rap was truly deep like Pac and Biggie and Dre, their songs were deep and meaningful and heavy and carried a profound message, and when you heard it, you really felt it. Metal heads listen to metal for the same reason. The lyrics are fkn deep and heavy. Both genres help people deal with their personal shit they go through. This song helped so many trouble youth deal with their negative emotions and realize that there are others out feeling as they do, and when those solo kick into drive, that anger and stress is just flooding out of the body just as you let the music take you. Both genres are respectively the most felt music to teens and young people and it's a combo of the profound lyrics and rhythm/bass. Metal adds one more layer with the angst of the guitars. Both are powerful as hell. I cannot count the number of days I came home from school or work and needed to blow off steam so as to not take it out on people. 20 minutes headbanging in the garage or in my car and swear to god its therapy as good as any on the planet.
This was the first song I heard from Metallica in 85. Been a fan ever since. Yes, this song is dark but you can’t have light without the darkness. I love this band. Always have and always will. Thank you
The song was written in 1983 after their gear was stolen after a show, including a Marshall amp that James' (rhythm guitar / vocals) Mother bought for him before she died, the band were 20 / 21 when it was recorded, amazing.
Woohoo, she's done it! Yep, one of my favourite Metallica songs ever. And first time I heard it, my reaction was pretty much the same as yours. Wish I could travel back in time 30 or more years and hear it again for the first time but watching your reaction, brings it all back. Thanks for doing it!
Why not the whole album?? I probably have/had metal on tape, vinyl, *MiniDisc*, CD and laptop. Going to school with a bunch of tapes or minidiscs and listen to Metallica, Pantera, Sepultara, AIC etc etc. And now I am old and watch young people listen to it for the first time haha
The guitar work on this song is my favorite of all time. The rhythm, the lead, that final solo as you said is incredible! What's funny about this song is, it actually saved my life. It has a very special place in my life.
For me the greatest metal solo ever played by the great Kirk! Capturing the pain and anguish. The busy head with so many overwhelming thoughts! This song is a complete masterpiece
its been 40 years since this came out, and still after all that time it still brings emotions to the surface of just about everyone who grew up in that time listening to Metallica
Yea this song hits many people really hard. I'm one of them. My brother felt this way and ended his life because he felt he couldn't go on the way things were. So yea, this is a brilliant song with deep meaning.
Love you, too! So funny that after being a metallica fan for 30 years, I can still get a sense of "newness" from watching you hear one of my favorite songs. And yes, that is my favorite solo too! ;)
Great song but this touches me deep last Aug 21 listened and posted this and many depressing songs NO ONE I know notice had rope around neck on local bridge even car drove by just stared. song ended I fell to my knees cried went home
The song is about depression and not letting it get out of hand, and the song was intended as an outlet for those feelings so they don't overwhelm, in my opinion.
@@Hailme75 James wrote it because one of the amps stolen was the last thing his mom bought him, and when it was stolen, he lost all that she had left him with
The last song I heard with my Brother before he left this world. It’s a very powerful song heard it back in my Navy days, we played it a lot. It’s deep.
Gosh darn Jay , you truly did FEEL that song for the raw emotion that gets exuded through the guitar . Your reaction was on spot , made me tear up watching you tear up...you go girl !
This song is my survival song. I've attempted suicide 7 x. I'm still here. It's in my top ten songs to play. I'm an extreme music guitarist and I've lost a lot of comrades in arms to suicide. When I play this song live, tears flow and I tell the audience hug each other it's ok. Metal does not see color, all you need is heart and ears. Sister thank you for sharing. People need to hear it's ok. Music heals
James definitely knew pain and loss... I'm glad others are still getting to feel it after all these years (this was my teen years in the late 80s early 90s).
yeah after "goodbye" they make you sit there and think about it. I have seem them life often and this song is just all emotion, it was such a help for us young people when this came out.
You may think its a ballad when the music plays softly but once the lyrics kick in, its far from that. As someone who's suffered depression all their life, listening to this song has got me through some dark periods. I'm still here
Nice reaction. I could tell you have felt these lyrics more than once. I think we all have. This is why many teens gravitated to this music and as adults continue to listen. Masterpiece.
Metallica has found ways to tell ppl about subjects That most ppl don't understand This song just helps you feel about the lost of someone dear to ur heart
Back in the old days no one wanted to truly address mental health issues. Till the heavy metal bands came out. They do music with a dark side personina for a reason. It's meant to help raise awareness. We humans tend to ignore our negative emotions. Or we make fun of them. But they are real and they are apart of us. And they will never go away. The secret to a healthy mind is to learn from both our negative and positive emotions. Learn to channel them.
Thank you for such an honest and thoughtful reaction! There is more than just metal to this song. I love the way you listened to lyrics and felt the music at the same time.
I think this was the 1984 metal version of R.E.M`s epic track "Everybody Hurts"...it was meant to pull people back from the edge, the line that once crossed can never be taken back...
I've never seen someone cry from listening to metallica on youtube lol it is a very deep song by them. "The Unforgiven" by metallica is similar, and "Wherever I May Roam" different yet very deep song by metallica
There are quite a few people here today, because this song helped them deal with their depression and suicidal ideation, at difficult times in their lives. It's counter-intuitive, but people who have been there understand.
Amazing reaction! Metallica are the best at translating emotion into music. For more deep Metallica songs, react to The Unforgiven; Nothing Else Matters; Welcome Home (Sanitarium); Orion (Instrumental); The Outlaw Torn; Bleeding Me ⚡
I love the reaction on her face as she hears the lyrics it goes from very happy to very disturbed and very sad I heard this on the million times as a kid and I had no idea what it was about
I appreciate the fact that you come in to each song with an open mind. I have watched you react to 3 songs from a genre that I grew up in and love to this day, and I makes me smile. Thank you for the open mind on music!!
as a teenager in a boy's home, Metallica was my outlet, i cannot tell you how much i connected to their music...Metallica seemed like they were singing just to me, my anger, my angst, feeling like i was thrown away by society. Metallica and Slayer . GNR< Ratt, Pantera, Suicidal, Montley Crue, helped keep me sane..80's metal was like no other and modern music cannot measure up.
i just want to say its beautiful how emotional you get...you are an empath....one other thing...those eyes are beautiful...they match you perfectly...love watching you react
Like a lot of metal fans, i credit this song with saving my life. Knowing i wasn't the only one who felt this way made all the difference. And here I am 31 years after the first time i heard it. Still here
this particular Metallica song has been important to so many in all forms of recovery, grieve, suicides etc. so many people just think a bunch of hard rock guys living it up, this band and endured so many heartaches, This song is special to me and as well as my daddy, we fought our battle of cancer together, he lost his and I am still going through trmt, I also turned to this song when my husband passed, and through so many other other situations, 1 true classic that has saved many many lives
Thank you so much for your authenticity and vulnerability. I felt every emotion right along with you, even though I've listened to this song thousands of times. Be blessed.
I LOVE your reactions to this band because you can see the emotion in your face when listening to them. Have you heard Turn the Page by them? Highly recommend!
I have been a die hard fan of Metallica since 1988. I fell in love with this band after hearing this album at a friend's place. I have had so many people over the years say to me, "oh that music is crap", trouble is they don't stop and "hear" the lyrics in these songs. Keep listening to their music mate, you will not be disappointed. I could say, listen to this song, listen to that song, when all I will say to you is listen to them all 🤘
One of the best reactions ever! ❤
Thank you so much
You should listen to the song One by them and Master Of Puppets
@@lorettasearcy1471 she's done one, check her channel
Ya for sure. That was real
That look when she's just chilling and enjoying the melody of the music...then the lyrics kick in. Haha.
I personally didn't find it funny - but I will say - it's evident that she has a true spirit and soul to be so moved by music, and it is testimonial of how powerful a song that is.
Lmao!
Top comment and, I read it before I saw it, but, yep... definite expression change when she realized what it was talking about.
@@Frostrazor I can see both. For anyone that has contemplated suicide, this is a somewhat comforting song... i.e. you aren't alone, lots of people feel like this. On the other hand it's kinda funny to see a regular person react to the words.
It was funny. You were obviously referring to her expression and not the gravity of the song 🤦♂️
Now imagine being a lonely, kinda depressed 15 year old with no friends hearing this song back in the 80's.
Realizing that other people feel this way makes it a little bit easier to cope with. And then you meet other loners that like the same band.

Born 1977. Metallica forever
Tried to kill myself...... thankfully wasn't successful.....this fucking song got me thru it!!!!!!
Muchos hemos pasado por algo similar
Abrazo enorme 🍻
I can't listen to this song without crying. It was one of my brother's favorites .
My condolences

Hi Jayy,
Do To live is to die by Metallica!
This song is about successful suicide listen to the lyrics. stolen equipment lol
@@fenjiman4294 www.songfacts.com/facts/metallica/fade-to-black
Finally watching a genuine reaction of someone that gets it. Their music is so powerful.
Just before the lyrics begin: “This instrumental is so beautiful it’s making my heart smile.” Oh dear…
😅
LMAO This is the best reaction ever. The slow realization :D I came here to cry and instead Im laughing my ass off :D
Jayy~!~! love your channel! good stuff.. You wanna see a performance that will blow you away, it is kinda dated but "Roy Clark - Malaguena" man played Country music , but is such a master..
Yeah turns to a man wanting to commit suicide there’s nothing left here for him
Haha bout to fade to black

Fucking well put
Best Kirk solo on album, he captures the pain & emotion & the crying out🤘
It's his Comfortably Numb
Listening to his hour long soliloquy at the Guitar place (forget where), he describes the band was in Denmark (due to cheapness of recording studio time) and everyone was deeply homesick. He describes he just poured all those emotions into the solos in this album , so that would translate well to Fade to Black.

The media is always garbage.
It always amazes me how incredible this song is.
The power of music. If the music you listen to doesn’t make you feel something, you’re listening to the wrong music.
you walk in thinking about hopelessness, walk out feeling lifted and revived.
First time I heard this I was way too young to fully understand it. I did however develop a deep love for Metallica because of it. Thank you, that song is so deep.
* demeanor changes*
“ well that went completely left“
I LOVE YOU! That was genuine and hilarious!
That beautiful moment when you see the music actually effect someone. I love it.

I saw soo many of these reactions where people look at their camera and just fake it. You girl are the real deal. Your reaction is real. Respect!
I believe you actually feel music. Some do, some people don't, but it's why I stop by. True feeling is always interesting
I had this song recorded on a blank tape on both sides, thats how we did repeat in the 80's :D
Why not the whole album?? I probably have/had metal on tape, vinyl, *MiniDisc*, CD and laptop. Going to school with a bunch of tapes or minidiscs and listen to Metallica, Pantera, Sepultara, AIC etc etc. And now I am old and watch young people listen to it for the first time haha

its been 40 years since this came out, and still after all that time it still brings emotions to the surface of just about everyone who grew up in that time listening to Metallica
Home girl I'm 65 now I gwer up on that type of music and it STILL ROCKS TODAY.
Probably the best reaction I’ve ever seen to one of my favourite songs.
I was *not* expecting to cry when I pressed play.
"Growing darkness, taking dawn. I was me, but now he's gone" very heavy lyrics right there
I absolutely LOVE that you get it. 40 yrs later this song still helps me "get through".
Esta es la reacción más autentica que he visto...larga vida hermana.
Takes you to your darkest moment and helps you get past it. A really beautiful song. Everyone knows emptiness.
Yea this song hits many people really hard. I'm one of them. My brother felt this way and ended his life because he felt he couldn't go on the way things were. So yea, this is a brilliant song with deep meaning.
The moment you realize what the song is about....powerful song.
You can see the total emotion through your expressions.
Welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years - I ' m 54 years old and love this music
I love how you actually listen to the words
Love you, too! So funny that after being a metallica fan for 30 years, I can still get a sense of "newness" from watching you hear one of my favorite songs. And yes, that is my favorite solo too! ;)
WOW! The look on your face....the dawning realization of what this is actually about.....
Great song but this touches me deep last Aug 21 listened and posted this and many depressing songs NO ONE I know notice had rope around neck on local bridge even car drove by just stared. song ended I fell to my knees cried went home
Some of us deal with those feelings everyday
I've never visited Suicide, but I know the zip code.
Wish I could give you more than one thumbs up.
Sometimes there is beauty in the darkness
Without darkness there is no light
The song is about depression and not letting it get out of hand, and the song was intended as an outlet for those feelings so they don't overwhelm, in my opinion.
Exactly, those of us that have been there, this song is very special. We know we aren't alone
I read it was about them having their gear stolen. It's how they felt, so I guess depressed would fit.
@@Hailme75 James wrote it because one of the amps stolen was the last thing his mom bought him, and when it was stolen, he lost all that she had left him with

Yeah this song is super deep. Especially for anyone that has glimpsed Darkness
That 'ride the lightning' album is the best music ever recorded.. flawless.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your initial reaction once you started listening to the lyrics...This is probably one of my TOP fav metallica songs to date.
You may think its a ballad when the music plays softly but once the lyrics kick in, its far from that. As someone who's suffered depression all their life, listening to this song has got me through some dark periods. I'm still here
Nice reaction. I could tell you have felt these lyrics more than once. I think we all have. This is why many teens gravitated to this music and as adults continue to listen. Masterpiece.
This is an important song. When I was in a real low point in my life it reminded me that others feel this shit too. If they survived it so would I.
Gotta do No Leaf clover with the orchestra by them...killer tune!!
Yes! And -Human!
Metallica has found ways to tell ppl about subjects
That most ppl don't understand
This song just helps you feel about the lost of someone dear to ur heart

The True Power of music when made with true emotion.
Most music has nothing that can compare.
You know a song is great when the melody tells the same story as the lyrics
There are quite a few people here today, because this song helped them deal with their depression and suicidal ideation, at difficult times in their lives. It's counter-intuitive, but people who have been there understand.
Amazing reaction! Metallica are the best at translating emotion into music. For more deep Metallica songs, react to The Unforgiven; Nothing Else Matters; Welcome Home (Sanitarium); Orion (Instrumental); The Outlaw Torn; Bleeding Me ⚡
I love the reaction on her face as she hears the lyrics it goes from very happy to very disturbed and very sad I heard this on the million times as a kid and I had no idea what it was about
I appreciate the fact that you come in to each song with an open mind. I have watched you react to 3 songs from a genre that I grew up in and love to this day, and I makes me smile. Thank you for the open mind on music!!
this song is not for the faint of heart
Not many bands can stand the test of time. This band 35 yrs + has and is still headlining and selling OUT STADIUMS ! Probably the biggest band ever !
as a teenager in a boy's home, Metallica was my outlet, i cannot tell you how much i connected to their music...Metallica seemed like they were singing just to me, my anger, my angst, feeling like i was thrown away by society. Metallica and Slayer . GNR< Ratt, Pantera, Suicidal, Montley Crue, helped keep me sane..80's metal was like no other and modern music cannot measure up.
i just want to say its beautiful how emotional you get...you are an empath....one other thing...those eyes are beautiful...they match you perfectly...love watching you react
thats how you know how good metal is, when it gets you this emotional....
This one still gets me too, over ... what, 30 - 35 years later... awesome
Somebody that is soo moved by Favorite Band of All Time, deserves a sub!!!! Great Reaction !!!! Peace to You!!!
Like a lot of metal fans, i credit this song with saving my life. Knowing i wasn't the only one who felt this way made all the difference. And here I am 31 years after the first time i heard it. Still here
this particular Metallica song has been important to so many in all forms of recovery, grieve, suicides etc. so many people just think a bunch of hard rock guys living it up, this band and endured so many heartaches, This song is special to me and as well as my daddy, we fought our battle of cancer together, he lost his and I am still going through trmt, I also turned to this song when my husband passed, and through so many other other situations, 1 true classic that has saved many many lives
Beautiful reaction, brought tears to my eyes xx
Lovely instrumental and song together with a great reaction from you Jayy.
Hello Jayy, reactions like this make me wish I could rediscover this music for the first time, again. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
This is what real guitars and drums sound like this is talent! God bless you and yours from West Texas. Also, " Message!"
I live this song everyday, for now.
Thank you so much for your authenticity and vulnerability. I felt every emotion right along with you, even though I've listened to this song thousands of times. Be blessed.
Could be their finest album. More from this please.
When you live this everyday.....you hope its not your destiny......but it is
I LOVE your reactions to this band because you can see the emotion in your face when listening to them. Have you heard Turn the Page by them? Highly recommend!
Ten years after........ I'd love to save the world. The song is 50 years old but still relevant today
I reacted to that already
One my favorites of Metallic 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I have been a die hard fan of Metallica since 1988. I fell in love with this band after hearing this album at a friend's place.
I have had so many people over the years say to me, "oh that music is crap", trouble is they don't stop and "hear" the lyrics in these songs.
Keep listening to their music mate, you will not be disappointed. I could say, listen to this song, listen to that song, when all I will say to you is listen to them all 🤘
I'm an old school longtime Metallica fan and guitar player, and I knew you'd have a turn of effect once the lyrics started lol.
This song is why I am still alive. I realized other people have the same feelings that I do.
