I just realized that you can't listen to Metallica without listening to Megadeth. So, how about s Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due / megadethvevo th-cam.com/video/9d4ui9q7eDM/w-d-xo.html ome Holy wars?
This song sounds like me when I get my meds messed up. I have a lot of difficulty readjusting to home life when I come home from the hospital or CSU. We try to joke about "Momma's summer home". My son loves to talk to me about what's going on. His tattoo is "Zonko the Wonderfish". It's on my left forearm. He says "Zonko" tells Momma to kill people". My son is autistic and finds it so absurd that anyone would actually believe I am violent. So it's funny to him. His sense of humor is very offensive to others but he just doesn't have a filter. National Honor Society, college (evening) and high school (morning) at the same time. But socially, we have a lot in common. We bond by making fun of difficulty issues. Very like "Ridiculous" we laugh at the fact that we have escaped from horrible things.
11:10 in the studio version, for the last chorus, instead of singing "everyone is after me" he says "myself is after me." The lyrics for this song are already really good, but that one lyric elevates it further imo.
Maybe you should watch their movie, "Some Kind of Monster" which covers the band while James was in rehab and the changes in their lives after his return. Very revealing and personal expose.
Great reaction! This was actually the first time they played the song in full live! I actually went to this concert, was great apart from being 10 hours in the cold and rain on a beach. 😂 Welcome to Finland, you're arriving just in time for some expected warm sunny days and snow mostly melting away.
6:51 - Lars did the lick!!! I know he's become a bit of a meme as a drummer but I still say that's one of the coolest licks ever written. I admire Metallica for writing about mental health quite a bit throughout their career lyrically as well. Some bands tend to shy away from that, but Metallica's sort of embraced it.
People can hate on Lars all the want, but the fact of the matter is he plays what suits the song. He doesn't try to be flashy. His fav drummers of all time are Phil Rudd, Roger Taylor and Ian Paice. The Justice album in its entirety is his shining moment imo.
@@dazed1nyc I'd even say that "And Justice..." is the entire band's shining moment, although that's a hard call to make when it's standing in the middle of other shining moments like Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning; it's a close call overall in that era, but they all really went all-out on "Justice." What I admire about "Justice" is this was right after bassist Cliff Burton died. The band could have called it a day then and there; and honestly, there'd have been no shame in it. Many bands would have. Instead, they were like "no; we're just getting started" and really kicked the doors down on this record. They're unstoppable. They're just unstoppable.
@@TheScorpio1999 I'm a guitar player who converted to bass so Cliff will always be my guy and while it would have been a different record I'd love to see what they would have been had he not died. That being said, Justice is my fav album start to finish. If you've never read the Metallica book Enter Night that came out a few years ago Lars himself tells a story about recording Lightning and the producer saying to him "You do know that you don't have to start the drums on the up beat on every song right?" And Lars replied "whats an up beat?". I think the Lars hate started because of the Napster bullshit. Either way they never claimed to be the best musicians but for reasons unknown they all perfectly compliment each other.
@@TheScorpio1999 My friend had a band, they couldn't find a bass player and asked me if I'd be willing to give it a shot in the meantime and it just stuck.
You seem so sweet. How could a person with such a kind persona become so distressed? My philosophy is, people get depressed when think "they're unique", as in, "no one has ever had the troubles I have". We all go through it. Life is fluid, for good and for bad. Neither pain nor pleasure last forever. But sticking it out, nearly always brings a better day. 😊
Watching you enjoy the music and Metallica's musicianship put a big old smile on my face Amanda. You even made my eyes a little wet because I could sense the emotion's you were feeling just watching them play. James grew up in a broken home, and when he writes song's like this, he's telling his story about his terrible past. Many Musicologist consider "And Justice For All" the first Progressive Metal Album, and it's literally because of song's like this with multiple time signature changes, the incredibly heavy and dynamic riffage, and the diverseness of the guitar melodies, and Kirks guitar solo's. Everything was on another level on this album. You Take Care Amanda.♥️ Toodles!
I love live Metallica. When I was an angry teenager, all this was so therapeutic for me. I knew then that someone else understood what I felt and didn't feel alone in the world. And I met people like minded which opened the world up for me in such positive ways. Listen to the album version, just for the clarity. They nailed it here, though.
Part of the issue is that you can mix amps, overdub etc to your hearts content in a studio and until recent technological changes it was very difficult to do live. It took several hours to set up.
Having had multiple mental diagnoses I've loved this song since I was in high school. I've actually been diagnosed as bipolar 2, add and adhd, severe anxiety, aspergers, and PTSD from childhood abuse by my elementary teachers.
U said the line nameless feeling and how fittin they also have a song called The Unnamed Feeling. U can do just the audio but that song also has a music video.
It's great when you find yourself listening to music you never thought you would like. I started doing that a few years ago. There is some music I absolutely refuse to listen to but I can respect the talent of the artist.
When I listen to Metallica I feel my heart warming and all the fears and shadows are blown away. Watching someone sensitive like you exciting with their music is heartwarming as well.
@@mpmarques I like the album a lot more than others seem to. Obviously not their best work but it's certainly not as bad as others seem to make it out imo. Imo, once you understand why it was made the way it was, you may be a bit more open-minded to it (especially if you feel you can relate to some of the lyrics). That's just my take tho.
Welcome to Finland! I hope that you'll have a good time here! Finland is the happiest country on earth, yet we used to peak all suicide statistics. Someone once said that that is the reason we are happiest country as all the unhappy ones keep killing themselves :) Well, there's some Finnish humour for you, we are sometimes a peculiar kind. Enjoy your stay!
This is first time they performed this song live in its entirety since the album and justice for all came out 1988 This was a part of a tour where ppl picked songs that they wanna see MetallicA perform live
Ive lost three family members in the past5 years ,,two brothers in the same year !! All thre died before the age of 56,,ive had two spinal fusion surgeries in the past 3 years that have left me a shell of what i once was!! And just last week my ex decided caring for me has become two much so she left me and filed for child support!! Meteallica ,you have kept me moving forward with your timeless music ,,deep riffs and lyrics that speak to my soul!! Your music has always been by my side when everything and everyone left my side !! Falling deep into dementiaaaaaaa!!!!
I am so happy that you have an outlet because that is a LOT for any person to handle! If there's anything we can do or you just need to talk, my IG and email are in the video description 💖
well I was a fan for more than 25yrs in a row I've most of their albums & know so much of the lirics & they just released brand new album this year maybe I'll get my copy later.
I don't have much luck understanding Metallica without looking up the lyrics. They are so deep and raw. I can see how they resonate with so many people. Thank you for your reaction.
I might have heard something a little wrong, but I thought you mentioned something like songs or music providing "armor" for your day. Its taken me a long time to deal with the depression and confusion of my parents divorce, even though it happened many years ago. I found metal music that way, and it has provided armor for me in my dire needs. Recently, I discovered one band where most of my "armor songs" come from. Nothing really gets you pumped up and feeling powerful like growly Viking themed melodic death metal. Amon Amarth has many songs that help don my armor. Songs like one of their new ones, Find a Way or Make One. I mean, check out the outro chorus: When it seems hope is lost, Fight them all at any cost. When it seems that hope is gone, I'll find a way, or I will make one. Yeah, its about a berserker on the field of battle, but it can apply to us in our struggles. There's always hope, even if its a slight glimmer in the distance. Check that song out, along with Valhalla Awaits and The Way of Vikings. Those are some of my armor songs.
I survived the most depressing experience in my life...divorce after 10 yrs of marriage.i was 29..it took a toll on me.scarred me for life...I was in limbo for a year but I manage to keep my sanity intact because I raised my three kids on my own.for a 29 years old man that ain't easy.especially the youngest was only 3 month old. But I'm different.i learned things quite different from anyone else.i don't take advice from people who didn't survived such experience.talk is cheap.nobody couldn't see it exteriorly but my anger builds up quite enormous inside...yeah I listened to metal music to relate to it.hard pounding music..and the message in it was the best advice.better than those mouth flapping councelors who end up saying,"sorry I can't help ya".13 years passes by and all my kids grown up now ...looking back I'm proud that I survived it.my kids and metal especially Metallica's songs been guiding all those years .ain't no band nowadays can top that.
As a teen/young adult this band did so much to help me cope with the feelings I was going through. Not only letting me know I wasn't alone in what I was feeling, but had a sort of EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) effect in that it allowed me to associate these feelings with these genius guitar licks and beautiful solos so I could process them without feeling completely overwhelmed.
I’ve requested the song No Saving Me by Walls of Jericho……it helped me thru tough times, if you do ever get around to it pay attention to her cry for help in the scream she belts out…..gives me chills everytime
Should’ve done the studio version.. sounds much greater! This song’s composition is so difficult & complex their band members admit they have trouble playing it live and for years avoided playing it in concert due to they can’t play it the same live. Hetfield’s vocals also sound much better & with Newstead playing the bass over their average current bass player

@@m.ericwatson968 Yeah they were fucked up bad at that, losing their brother like that. Life was a party every day and then in Sweden that fateful morning death hit them, and they saw half of Cliff under the bus. No wonder they treated Jason so badly.
@@vovindequasahi Jason saved 'em, they owed him more respect, dropped his bass mix on Justice, that's cold; Cliff's death was a freak accident, craziest sudden death, poor dude
@@m.ericwatson968 Yeah Jason is a bit of a douchebag but in no way did he deserve how badly they treated him. Being a fan and member of a band never works. At least he'll never want financially ever again, so that's some comfort... Artistically he should have sticked with Flotsam and Jetsam though.
Probably a left field suggestion since its UK Hip Hop but this song has helped me more then any. Magicians Assistant by dan le sac and scroobius pip. Its incredibly heavy lyrics and the distorting noise really hits it home. Cannot recommend enough but it is extremely heavy.
I know there are times my anxiety takes control, and I can't even figure out what I am anxious about. Or something small will start the snowball, and it grows so large that I can't remember what small thing triggered my anxiety attack.
Hello Amanda, just wanted to say that you are beautiful! Second, as a lifelong Metallica fan, they are a band that once you start listening, you just prevail and keep listening, no pausing, just jam & trash about. Some of their material is quite challenging to cover. One, for me is tough and my first Metallica song to learn many years ago. I made myself learn & glad I did.
Amanda, .... and now live Metallica with Enter Sandman including the complete intro of Ecstasy of Gold (Moscow 1990). A great boost for your mental health.
You mention how you wish you would've experienced this music in your younger days. For me, that's the exact reason why I love metal so much. The genre has always been about the experiences of the overlooked and outcast and how they experience life and see the world. Of course, because it's an aggressive release and full of power, there are some fans who want it to be "Alpha Male Bravado" all the time, but that was never in the spirit of the music when it was born. Metal is supposed to be welcoming and relatable and allow those of us who feel excluded to be a part of something. The aggression behind it is just a safe way to release all of the pent-up emotions we tend to hold inside. First time watcher to the channel, but I really liked your perspective on the lyrics and just your overall enjoyment of the musicality of the song. Thanks for the video!!
And the older the fans the less they understand and want the crowd to not be divided by tickets and destroy everything and mash pit and those who just want to enjoy themselves to enjoy their first time with the band in awe are not real fans in their eyes.
Jesus Christ I've been a Metallica fan for 30 years and I still am amazed by the talent they have. This world is so lucky these guys found each other and decided to make music.
Good words Amanda. A very underrated Metallica song. Love the solo too. Your journey into Metallica is long, and deep. My journey has been 40 years. Enjoy your discovery, as I'm sure you will. 🔥🤘✊
I’ve been to the frayed ends of sanity. It took me to death. I’m alive and kicking after five years and Metallica are the Kings. I’ve seen them front row 14 times. Metallica and my Wife and my desire to live saved my life. Enjoy the Metallica journey! 🤘
Yeah, I have Early onset Dementia which enhances so many emotions and even everything seems so confusing and so diar. I love your channel. And I hope you help as many peiple as possible. I may be beyond help at some point but I support you. You are awesome. Don't forget that! Go help people as far as you can go.
You aren't beyond help. I know it can seem overwhelming and terrifying, but there are a lot of newer and natural treatments that are proving to improve the quality of life for those with dementia 💖Either way, live every day to the fullest that you can.
@@MentalAmanda Thank you. I know I should be looking for the up side but, it can be hard to find some days. I'm glad I found your channel. I love music.😂 It is the best way to alter your moods in a positive way.
You know, I'm one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet. However I can just let myself get overwhelmed. I often think it's ok to wish I only had 1 or 2 issued to contend with. I'm nearly 50 years old and have been in physical pain since a car accident since I was about 16. Pain can cause anxiety or depression. I'm having problems with both. I didn't believe I was depressed until about a month ago. My son had found some of his old toys that he used to play with. That whole conversation the memories had me in an unknown place. It was so strange...I felt happiness. I realized I've repressed so many things and made myself so numb or just burying everything. That few minutes was the best, mentally that I've felt in many years. I can't or don't want to imagine what kind of person I've become. Especially around my family.
@@MentalAmanda I don't know. Hopefully hanging out with my son more will be good for both of us. There's no issues between us we have different views and interests.
I love Metallica and there is 1 song that pretty much mirrored how I felt growing up within a broken home with an abusive father and the is "Unforgiven". There were definitely a few times that I thought about ending my existence, but I refused to let Them win. I spent so much time locked within myself.
I remember seeing these guys the first time in 1986, when their original bass guitarist Clive was alive. It's hard to believe it was that many years ago he died in bus accident. Been a fan for 40 plus years of these guys. Plus, huge Iron Maiden fan. Should check their stiff out as well.
I've been watching people who reacts to Metallica for years know and I can't remember anyone reacting to this song.... underrated song if you ask me.... Also, love your analysis as always...
I'm sorry for being off topic but this is a small message to you Amanda. If you have the time... Please consider to take your time and listen to ''Turn The Tide'' by Praying Mantis. I'm pretty sure you'll like it! Its a power ballad made by former members of Iron Maiden. I hope you and your family are still being safe and healthy these days😊
This Metallica song has always been one of my go to songs but if you haven't checked this song out by The Amity Affliction check out Pittsburgh that songs hit all to close to home because it's how I've been feeling a lot here lately
You are simply great! If I can I wanna recommend you The Struggle Within by Metallica. I think this song deserve your reaction... With love Alessandro from Italy
Love your reactions and your perspective. Just found your channel and you got a new sub. Not sure if this is the place but I would love to see your reaction to Tom MacDonald's song Balloons. He speaks on how fame is causing him mental anguish and how he deals with it. Lyrically, it is a masterpiece.
I’m curious as to why you are traveling to Helsinki soon. Do you have family or friends there? Or are you just traveling there because you wanted to travel and that’s a place on your list to visit? Just curious because Finland(compared to a lot of other countries) isn’t that big of a travel destination for people. I think I know 1 person who’s gone there lol. I’ve never been but I’d love to as I just love to travel. So I’m assuming you’re like me and you just want to travel everywhere you can at least once lol
Also fun fact, I have the exact same guitar James is using in this video. It’s his signature ESP guitar. And I got it signed by him himself at one of the metclub meet and greets before a show in Philly back in 2018. I even asked him to play the insane downpicking riff at the beginning of Master of Puppets on it just for a second just so I could say James Hetfield actually played my guitar and he did it lol. Coolest fucking thing I own
Also, this is a rare one. They’ve only played this live 12 times since it was released back in 1988. They’ve played like a mashup of it and some other rarely played songs from the album a few times, and they’ve added little snippets of the song to end off other songs here and there, but in terms of the amount of times the song was fully played and was a song on the set list it’s only been played 12 times. Now that’s more than a lot of other Metallica songs, some of which have NEVER been played live or played only once (one time songs include: Escape, Fixxxer, Hate Train, Just a Bullet Away, Mama Said, Rebel of Babylon, Sweet Amber, and To Live is To Die) To Live Is To Die is a shocking one that they’ve only played it once live, but it also kinda makes sense because it was the song they wrote in honor of their original bassist Cliff Burton passing away and using a bunch of his riffs he had wrote to make the song. I think they were never going to play it live but they ended up playing it at their 30 year anniversary show at The Fillmore
Well you might as well check out to live is to die mostly instrumental but what is said ... Brilliant and there's bleeding me both by Metallica keep rockin girl I suffer with mental problems too so... Yeah check em out

Robert’s best ever backing vocals. Almost got shades of Jason for a moment. Brought a tear to mi eye.
He's even better live now with the vocals. His creeping death screams def have a Jason vibe now
I could listen to their guitar solos for HOURS!!! Kirk is AMAZING!!

Have a good trip!
I'll never understand why Metallica never liked playing this song live. It's a masterpiece. I guess we'll have to wait 30 more years to hear it again
its long and complex. they hate playkng their longer complex songs off justice. but they cant tour without playing any justice at all
I had the pleasure and blessing of hearing them play this song at Rock in Rio
Part of the issue is that you can mix amps, overdub etc to your hearts content in a studio and until recent technological changes it was very difficult to do live.
It took several hours to set up.
Probably cause it's too complex and they don't want to bother.
Having had multiple mental diagnoses I've loved this song since I was in high school. I've actually been diagnosed as bipolar 2, add and adhd, severe anxiety, aspergers, and PTSD from childhood abuse by my elementary teachers.
You really should do more Metallica! I recommend Until It Sleeps, Bleeding me, and The Outlaw Torn. Heavy songs in every sense of the word!
U said the line nameless feeling and how fittin they also have a song called The Unnamed Feeling. U can do just the audio but that song also has a music video.
I wasn't expecting new reactions till after 22nd as you said you would be away from all devices till then. So it's a pleasure to have you back early 😁

Amon Amarth has many songs that help don my armor. Songs like one of their new ones, Find a Way or Make One. I mean, check out the outro chorus:
When it seems hope is lost,
Fight them all at any cost.
When it seems that hope is gone,
I'll find a way, or I will make one.
Yeah, its about a berserker on the field of battle, but it can apply to us in our struggles. There's always hope, even if its a slight glimmer in the distance. Check that song out, along with Valhalla Awaits and The Way of Vikings. Those are some of my armor songs.
I survived the most depressing experience in my life...divorce after 10 yrs of marriage.i was 29..it took a toll on me.scarred me for life...I was in limbo for a year but I manage to keep my sanity intact because I raised my three kids on my own.for a 29 years old man that ain't easy.especially the youngest was only 3 month old.
But I'm different.i learned things quite different from anyone else.i don't take advice from people who didn't survived such experience.talk is cheap.nobody couldn't see it exteriorly but my anger builds up quite enormous inside...yeah I listened to metal music to relate to it.hard pounding music..and the message in it was the best advice.better than those mouth flapping councelors who end up saying,"sorry I can't help ya".13 years passes by and all my kids grown up now ...looking back I'm proud that I survived it.my kids and metal especially Metallica's songs been guiding all those years .ain't no band nowadays can top that.
Oooh, just remembered this one. My Only Enemy by Struggle Jennings with Jelly Roll.
James doesn't do it as much (I read he became too self-conscious about it) but he has this trademark "YEAH-YEAH!" that is just so cool
As a teen/young adult this band did so much to help me cope with the feelings I was going through. Not only letting me know I wasn't alone in what I was feeling, but had a sort of EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) effect in that it allowed me to associate these feelings with these genius guitar licks and beautiful solos so I could process them without feeling completely overwhelmed.
I’ve requested the song No Saving Me by Walls of Jericho……it helped me thru tough times, if you do ever get around to it pay attention to her cry for help in the scream she belts out…..gives me chills everytime
So many reactors. So many personalities. I'll say that im very drawn to your reactions to my favorite band.... METALLICA🤘🤘🤘 Thank you
Should’ve done the studio version.. sounds much greater! This song’s composition is so difficult & complex their band members admit they have trouble playing it live and for years avoided playing it in concert due to they can’t play it the same live.
Hetfield’s vocals also sound much better & with Newstead playing the bass over their average current bass player
Such an underrated song from an awesome album. Love your videos like always!
There is one song i think you might wanna listen to, Long Black Train by josh turner
This is how I felt this morning at midnight when the flashback came , some times I wonder if all that's left of me is the trama.
Mtv unplugged live - Pearl Jam singing Black. Crazy Good.
HELSTAR-Dark Incarnation. 61 years old singing like that. Awesome!!
Thanks, I requested this song a while ago

Badass song, when Metallica was depressed, heavy, and progressive as fuck!
Alcoholica
Dealing with the loss of Cliff, both consciously and unconsciously, his untimely passing cast a long shadow
@@m.ericwatson968 Yeah they were fucked up bad at that, losing their brother like that. Life was a party every day and then in Sweden that fateful morning death hit them, and they saw half of Cliff under the bus. No wonder they treated Jason so badly.
@@vovindequasahi Jason saved 'em, they owed him more respect, dropped his bass mix on Justice, that's cold; Cliff's death was a freak accident, craziest sudden death, poor dude
@@m.ericwatson968 Yeah Jason is a bit of a douchebag but in no way did he deserve how badly they treated him. Being a fan and member of a band never works. At least he'll never want financially ever again, so that's some comfort... Artistically he should have sticked with Flotsam and Jetsam though.
Probably a left field suggestion since its UK Hip Hop but this song has helped me more then any. Magicians Assistant by dan le sac and scroobius pip. Its incredibly heavy lyrics and the distorting noise really hits it home. Cannot recommend enough but it is extremely heavy.
I know there are times my anxiety takes control, and I can't even figure out what I am anxious about. Or something small will start the snowball, and it grows so large that I can't remember what small thing triggered my anxiety attack.
Hello Amanda, just wanted to say that you are beautiful! Second, as a lifelong Metallica fan, they are a band that once you start listening, you just prevail and keep listening, no pausing, just jam & trash about. Some of their material is quite challenging to cover. One, for me is tough and my first Metallica song to learn many years ago. I made myself learn & glad I did.
Amanda, .... and now live Metallica with Enter Sandman including the complete intro of Ecstasy of Gold (Moscow 1990). A great boost for your mental health.
You mention how you wish you would've experienced this music in your younger days. For me, that's the exact reason why I love metal so much. The genre has always been about the experiences of the overlooked and outcast and how they experience life and see the world. Of course, because it's an aggressive release and full of power, there are some fans who want it to be "Alpha Male Bravado" all the time, but that was never in the spirit of the music when it was born. Metal is supposed to be welcoming and relatable and allow those of us who feel excluded to be a part of something. The aggression behind it is just a safe way to release all of the pent-up emotions we tend to hold inside.
First time watcher to the channel, but I really liked your perspective on the lyrics and just your overall enjoyment of the musicality of the song. Thanks for the video!!
And the older the fans the less they understand and want the crowd to not be divided by tickets and destroy everything and mash pit and those who just want to enjoy themselves to enjoy their first time with the band in awe are not real fans in their eyes.
Lol, "i didnt want to get thrown to the wolves.." 🤘
I feel all of st.anger had a very good message especially my favorite song by them the unnamed feeling
This song always keeps me on my toes when I play it on guitar 🤘
I feel bleeding me would be a really good song to listen to next!!
Jesus Christ I've been a Metallica fan for 30 years and I still am amazed by the talent they have. This world is so lucky these guys found each other and decided to make music.
Good for you for not interrupting one of the best parts in any song known to man.!
Good words Amanda. A very underrated Metallica song. Love the solo too. Your journey into Metallica is long, and deep. My journey has been 40 years. Enjoy your discovery, as I'm sure you will. 🔥🤘✊
salut . alors , toujours pas ecouté " soleil d hiver " de niagara ?
I’ve been to the frayed ends of sanity. It took me to death. I’m alive and kicking after five years and Metallica are the Kings. I’ve seen them front row 14 times. Metallica and my Wife and my desire to live saved my life. Enjoy the Metallica journey! 🤘
"That was kinda cute" might be the weirdest thing anyone has said about a metal song.
Yeah, I have Early onset Dementia which enhances so many emotions and even everything seems so confusing and so diar. I love your channel. And I hope you help as many peiple as possible. I may be beyond help at some point but I support you. You are awesome. Don't forget that! Go help people as far as you can go.
You aren't beyond help. I know it can seem overwhelming and terrifying, but there are a lot of newer and natural treatments that are proving to improve the quality of life for those with dementia 💖Either way, live every day to the fullest that you can.
@@MentalAmanda Thank you. I know I should be looking for the up side but, it can be hard to find some days. I'm glad I found your channel. I love music.😂 It is the best way to alter your moods in a positive way.
You know, I'm one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet. However I can just let myself get overwhelmed. I often think it's ok to wish I only had 1 or 2 issued to contend with. I'm nearly 50 years old and have been in physical pain since a car accident since I was about 16. Pain can cause anxiety or depression. I'm having problems with both. I didn't believe I was depressed until about a month ago. My son had found some of his old toys that he used to play with. That whole conversation the memories had me in an unknown place. It was so strange...I felt happiness. I realized I've repressed so many things and made myself so numb or just burying everything. That few minutes was the best, mentally that I've felt in many years. I can't or don't want to imagine what kind of person I've become. Especially around my family.
@@WelshCeltic What have you been doing since your revelation?
@@MentalAmanda I don't know. Hopefully hanging out with my son more will be good for both of us. There's no issues between us we have different views and interests.
I love Metallica and there is 1 song that pretty much mirrored how I felt growing up within a broken home with an abusive father and the is "Unforgiven". There were definitely a few times that I thought about ending my existence, but I refused to let Them win. I spent so much time locked within myself.
Amazing song
THE GOATS 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
I remember seeing these guys the first time in 1986, when their original bass guitarist Clive was alive. It's hard to believe it was that many years ago he died in bus accident. Been a fan for 40 plus years of these guys. Plus, huge Iron Maiden fan. Should check their stiff out as well.
Love the expression when Kirk played his solo
I recommend trying their song one. It’s off their album ...and justice for all
one of my favourite songs, inspired me to become a drummer, god im feeling old lol
Not bad for bunch of old guys huh......
Lead singer James Hetfield 58
Guitarist Kirk Hammett 59
Drummer Lars Ulrich 58
Bassist Rob Trujillo 57
sometimes you have to close your eyes and let the music take you
I've been watching people who reacts to Metallica for years know and I can't remember anyone reacting to this song.... underrated song if you ask me.... Also, love your analysis as always...
Hey, where has Indi gone?you took ever the channel and never saw he again. What happened?
Cute as a button Amanda 😍 Stay safe and healthy!!
YESSS I recommended this song on the Sanitarium video, completing the Metallica Mental Health Trifecta \m/ \m/
I'm sorry for being off topic but this is a small message to you Amanda.
If you have the time... Please consider to take your time and listen to ''Turn The Tide'' by Praying Mantis.
I'm pretty sure you'll like it! Its a power ballad made by former members of Iron Maiden.
I hope you and your family are still being safe and healthy these days😊
This Metallica song has always been one of my go to songs but if you haven't checked this song out by The Amity Affliction check out Pittsburgh that songs hit all to close to home because it's how I've been feeling a lot here lately
I love that song one of my favorite, Metallica are great, do more songs like this!!!!!!
Great take on this song, and you hit it on the nose...by the way, you are so beautiful. Have a awsome time on your trip.
Please listen to Bleeding Me
You are simply great! If I can I wanna recommend you The Struggle Within by Metallica. I think this song deserve your reaction...
With love
Alessandro from Italy
Please do diary of a madman from Ozzy I think it does a great job talking about BPD and Randy Rhodes's guitar work is amazing
Like love- The Amity Affliction
All fkd up- The amity affliction
Pleaaaaase 🖤🖤🖤
Try My Friend of Misery next?
Who's to blame 🎶 by sacred Reich good one
If you didn't notice, they performed this in the pouring rain
Love your reactions and your perspective. Just found your channel and you got a new sub. Not sure if this is the place but I would love to see your reaction to Tom MacDonald's song Balloons. He speaks on how fame is causing him mental anguish and how he deals with it. Lyrically, it is a masterpiece.
I’m curious as to why you are traveling to Helsinki soon. Do you have family or friends there? Or are you just traveling there because you wanted to travel and that’s a place on your list to visit? Just curious because Finland(compared to a lot of other countries) isn’t that big of a travel destination for people. I think I know 1 person who’s gone there lol. I’ve never been but I’d love to as I just love to travel. So I’m assuming you’re like me and you just want to travel everywhere you can at least once lol
Also fun fact, I have the exact same guitar James is using in this video. It’s his signature ESP guitar. And I got it signed by him himself at one of the metclub meet and greets before a show in Philly back in 2018. I even asked him to play the insane downpicking riff at the beginning of Master of Puppets on it just for a second just so I could say James Hetfield actually played my guitar and he did it lol. Coolest fucking thing I own
Also, this is a rare one. They’ve only played this live 12 times since it was released back in 1988. They’ve played like a mashup of it and some other rarely played songs from the album a few times, and they’ve added little snippets of the song to end off other songs here and there, but in terms of the amount of times the song was fully played and was a song on the set list it’s only been played 12 times. Now that’s more than a lot of other Metallica songs, some of which have NEVER been played live or played only once (one time songs include: Escape, Fixxxer, Hate Train, Just a Bullet Away, Mama Said, Rebel of Babylon, Sweet Amber, and To Live is To Die) To Live Is To Die is a shocking one that they’ve only played it once live, but it also kinda makes sense because it was the song they wrote in honor of their original bassist Cliff Burton passing away and using a bunch of his riffs he had wrote to make the song. I think they were never going to play it live but they ended up playing it at their 30 year anniversary show at The Fillmore
The boyfriend and I really wanted to stay in the igloos under the Northern Lights 💖
Would like to see you react to a life time of war both english and the Swedich version and react to no bullets fly the animated story. By sabaton

Don't know how Lars Ulrich stays still playing drums like that and still have that energy
We would not have thrown you to the wolves for stopping sis
Sad but true is a brilliant song also
First time? It's my 1000th
