One of the greatest ANTI Suicide Songs ever written.....at the time it was released (1984) the Lyrics helped me to continue the daily struggle with Life!
One of the most impressive things is that this song does not sound 36 years old and has aged amazingly, you would not guess this was from 1984. That’s crazy to thing how old but how amazing the production is
One of the lowest points in my life was when I stayed in a hospital for a few days due to a suicide attempt. The only thing that kept me sane was writing the lyrics of Fade to black over and over in my notebook. I couldn’t listen to music so everything was from memory. I’m glad that part of my life is over at least for now but like always Metallica is always apart of my life as it changes.
@@kornishpasty thank you, depression never goes away but I’m in a very different head space now than I was then. Now I have my own house, wife and beautiful daughter, something the old me could’ve never imagined.
This song has saved a lot of lives. In case you didn't catch it, it's basically a look into the mind of someone having suicidal thoughts. Metallica has said that they've had tons of people approach them and say how they thought they were all alone until this song made them realize that other people felt like they did. They didn't realize that other people could relate. Also, that solo at the end is, I think, Kirk Hammet's best.
Fun Halloween fact: guitarist Kirk Hammett is a huge horror collector, and has his own line of horror themed guitars. He plays them on stage as well. The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, a Ouija board. Fun to check out.
Lost my brother 2 years ago in an accident and Metallica wasn't one of his faves, but I know the feeling. I catch myself now and again wishing I could listen to the new album from some band we shared love for (Gorillaz, 311, NOFX, etc) together with him.
In my opinion, this could quite potentially be one of their greatest songs. It has the best of both worlds, the soft melodic intro and gradually intensifies. Absolutely amazing!
10 studio albums, 4 live albums, a cover album, 5 ep's, 39 singles and 37 videos. 26 Grammy noms, 9 Grammy wins....their last 6 studio albums have each consecutively opened at #1 on Bllboard's Top 200. Wiki-luv!

You know a song had touched your soul when your eyes are closed for the majority of the ride. This is my absolute favorite metallica song but it's also my favorite band.
This song has one of the most beautiful intros I've ever heard!!! Just pure beauty I understood everything on what music feels like just from the first 30 seconds of this song
Metallica just has a certain ability to put together the best riffs. It’s almost like they have a computer churning out perfect song formulas over and over and over again. Of course, they are all amazing technical musicians too.
I like how he said the opening sounded like ONE. All of Metallicas emotional songs start with the B note. except NEM. They even tried to re do it the day that never ends. Formula. Fade to black. Sanitarium. One
This was one of the biggest crowd in history, but not only because Metallica it was Moscow 1991 Iron Curtain just fell down and It was free music festival, people from all around Soviet Union gathered to see bands that was forbidden for them just few months back, and tapes with their music where like underground Holy Grail copied and hidden like treasure:) so people where hungry for freedom and music, and it was Free AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera, show so yes all this thing made this performance legendary - they say it was 1,6kk people, who knows it's impossible to count that many people:)
I think that one still puts them at #5. There were 4 single-artist shows that were larger. One over 2.5 million, two over 3 million, and the top dog (Jean-Michael Jarre) was over 3.5 million which is the largest one I am aware of.
@@JoeBlythe you can't be sure, because it's impossible to count that many people. Estimates may varies between 0.5 - 1.6 kk... There was no tickets to count:)
Creeping Death, Live in Moscow - that's the song you want to see from the huge performance. Pair that with Pantera's Domination - same concert, Pantera opened. As far as Halloween goes, Iron Maiden's Dance of Death is what you want.
Yeah and those squares are missing out since every album is worth a listen. I disagree with the more pretentious fans who don’t let bands evolve even if it’s entirely the band doing their thing.
@@spongylord7131 love pretentious people who don't bother asking if the person has actually listened to those albums or like them. I like Black, S&M, and Monster Magnet. Fuel was mostly garbage IMO.

@@Kynthrandir Ride the Lightning is the only reason I listen to metal and play bass. It was my dad's favorite record and when I heard For Whom The Bell Tolls for the first time, I said to myself I want to do that. When I found out the intro is a bass I started learning it. Hardwired is a fucking solid album and Black Album did so much for metal being less of a niche.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is definitely one of my favorite songs, and definitely fits with the Halloween theme. Hands down one of their best songs on Master of Puppets.
It doesnt get any better than seeing someone feel the ride that is "Fade To Black". This song describes how I feel day to day and it is awesome seeing someone vibe out to it. You guys got a new subscriber and fan. Also love your Arch Enemy and Cradle of Filth videos.
fade to black is a personal expression of J.Hetfield, and after he was surprised that people appreciate that song and were listen to it when they depressed (I'm one of them). Great song, powerfull
LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I literally can go to sleep to their guitar craft. Such artists. They really have inspired so many others. Tuomas from Nightwish was studying biology when he was taken to a Metallica concert in the states as an exchange student. He switched to music and continues after 2 decades to produce awesome music too. He said no Metallica, no Nightwish!
When four guys get together being 21 22 year olds, compose and record this masterpiece, that’s when you know the stars have aligned. 1984. The rest, as we all know, is metal’s royal history
1 - Transition all those hand-movements to head-banging. 2 - Behold the masterful musicianship of Cliff Burton. 3 - 4.5 Albums. Metallica died with Cliff. What you still get are only the aftershocks of a shredding bass.
I remember years ago I visited a friend who was working bouncer at a teen disco event. A lot of kids dancing to some in-one-ear-out-the-other pop, when someone put on Fade To Black. Soon most of the kids were standing, heads bobbing to the music.
The first four albums are masterpieces in different ways. I personally lean towards Kill em All as a masterpiece of youthful energy and just being anthemic to the energy of the times
Master of Puppets is more popular, but Ride the Lightning will always be the best Metallica LP. Just like Paranoid is the most popular Black Sabbath LP, but Master of Reality, Vol.4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are better.
And Justice for All will always be my favorite album, but when I just want to jam all the way out thru a whole album, Master of Puppets is my go to, no question. Bangers the whole way!
Who would have ever thought that bands like Metallica playing thrash metal would have become so popular. Especially because at the time thrash metal got no radio play, no promotion, wasn't really much of videos yet. It was the most hated most derided type of music by average Joe's, parents, government and critics. Now that the big four are so popular it's kind of amazing. Just saw Slayers final show ever. You really should go down the Slayer rabbit hole too :) Great reaction.
Great track, this is my fathers favorite song by them. Metallica deserves a day. I personally prefer master to ride but they are both great. Sort of unpopular opinion but “and Justice for all” is my favorite. I can acknowledge that master is a better album, but justice has my favorite sound
Blackened might be my favorite of their straight, "thrash" songs, and the remixed & remastered version with Jason's crushing bass is amazing. But I think the best thing James ever wrote is Fade to Black, at least lyrically speaking.
Ride the Lightning! I tried telling everyone how good Metalica was before MoP came out then when they released MoP everyone was saying oh "they're so great" NO RIDE THE LIGHTNING
Thanks for another great video, if you guys want to dabble in black sabbath Electric Funeral, Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Wizard are great picks IMO
Glad you guys did this one, my favorite song of all time. The song that made me fall in love with Metallica. I now have the Ride the Lightning "M" tattooed on my forearm. This album is short but a masterpiece. The album has a very dark theme for sure, as you guys mentioned. From an interview I saw with James about the album, the band was very interested and "into" the theme of death at the time. Hence song titles like For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, etc. Love your guys' reactions!
I’ve been listening to Metallica since the mid 80s and am a die hard “old school” fan. Their first 3 albums (kill em all/ ride the lightning/master of puppets) are the best they ever made- not that the ones since are bad by any means. THEN they came out with “hardwired” a few years ago. Talk about still kicking ass in your 50s! You are in for a ride if you start down the Metallica slide. Not only is the music itself spectacular but they are know for very deep meaningful lyrics.
I'd seen from several other reaction videos that at one concert they played before 1.6 million people. Granted I wasn't there personally, and that was the first time I heard that, but IF that's true that would be absolutely awesome
Anything after the Black Album probably isn’t gonna get many requests. There are great songs after that album and even the newest stuff is good, but Black Album and before are the golden years. Most of what you listen to from them in that time frame is gonna be badass.
Sooo I heard this weird guy have been constantly suggesting you react to Karnivool - Goliath, and that seems like a really solid idea, mainly because I'm that weird guy, and Karnivool are freakin awesome. Great reaction by the way, brings back good memoriea, my mum actually introduced me to Metallica when I was about 13-14, and that started me on my love of metal.
In the 80's and 90's Metallica was the biggest band around man. They have played on every continent including Antartica and there isnt anything but glaciers and weather observatories!I grew up on Metallica..the funny thing is my homegirl Kelly from around the corner came over and turned me onto them bigtime i was listening to the classic rock daily.After that day It was a long time before i listened to classic rock i was hooked on Metallica man!
Fun fact: Metallica is the only performance artist to have played a show on all 7 continents on the planet Earth. In December of 2013, they played a show in Antarctica. Take a moment to let the magnitude of that sink in.
Somewhere around 5:50 ya'll were talking about how this album revolves around death. Yea. You nailed it. "Ride The Lightning". Album cover has a chair with electricity on it. Electric chair.
On September 28, 1991, AC/DC, Pantera, Metallica, The Black Crowes, E.S.T. had a show in Moscow that drew 1.6 million crowd... while concert was free and Metallica was only a part of it, according to Wikipedia, it's still 5th largest crowd recorded...
To answer the question, yes, Metallica and a few other groups as a part of Monsters of Rock played in front of the largest ever crowd (1.6 million according to Wikipedia) for a music show/festival, at Tushino Airfield in Moscow on 9/28/91. 4 other musical artists have played in front of more people, but they weren't concerts/festivals (New Year's Eve in Rio, Bastille Day in Paris, & Moscow's 850th anniversary celebration).
Heard this live along with 10,000 other people when I was 12 years old. Gigantic coffins descended from the arena ceiling on long chains and looked over us lower and lower as the set progressed. Been a diehard long haired metal head ever since.
Great reaction, you were really feeling it! Love your authenticity and love for the music. And yes, they have the record in Moscow 1991. You gotta do a reaction to a live from that show! "Enter Sandman" and "Creeping Death" live in Moscow 91 are the best and most reacted and are TOTALLY worth it! Peace.
In the early-mid 90s, if you put a 5 act rock festival together and somehow got (in no order of popularity) Metallica, U2, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi all to play it in one night, at the right spot you might get the largest crowd ever assembled. And that’s likely to this day.
The Monsters of Rock tour in 1991 played in Moscow to the tune of 1.6 million people. Plenty of videos on youtube of Metallica and Pantera's sets from that concert.
Welcome to my youth in the 80's guys... a TON of music that fires you up like nothing else... Sabbath, Zep, Metallica, Dio, Ozzy's solo stuff, Iron Maiden... on and on and on...
the fading trick adds memorabilia effect on the song! it makes it go on in ur head making u think more about the song and a greater chance that u would listen to it again! "Free bird" by Beatles, one of the most iconic songs ever fades out then fades back in just to fade out again quickly! it creates a mystery effect on ur brain!
Moscow 1991, estimated 1.6 million probably actually close to 2 million. The Stage was set up at the end of an airport runway & the crowd took up the entire at least 5 thousand foot runway. It was the Monsters of Rock 1991 & the first MAJOR concert series to hit Russia right before the fall of Communism. Metallica, AC/DC & Pantera were the headliners for the show.
I had terrible night anxiety as a kid so when I would stay the night with my cousins they would play this for me at very low volume and I would sleep like a baby, this song always sits with me
Metallica performed to over one million people at Toshino airfield in Russia at a monsters of rock tour. It was right after the iron curtain came down.
Hammett's final solo in this song is, by far, my favorite from him. It sounds so melodic and aggressive simultaneously. Great song.
facts
Definitely my favorite metallica solo
His first solo here is just as good at setting the mood.
To me it illustrate how the body is fighting to live by instinct while his mind is traveling to the other side and to peace and serenity.
The best minute or so of “jamming” as a band they ever played.

I actually went to a museum showing of his famous guitars and memorabilia at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Very cool
i also have some of what i assume is hammets custom designed guitar picks XD
Right. I share the same kind of passion for the classic horror cinema. I even wrote a book about the history of the genre 😊

Blackened might be my favorite of their straight, "thrash" songs, and the remixed & remastered version with Jason's crushing bass is amazing. But I think the best thing James ever wrote is Fade to Black, at least lyrically speaking.
Ride the Lightning!
I tried telling everyone how good Metalica was before MoP came out then when they released MoP everyone was saying oh "they're so great"
NO RIDE THE LIGHTNING
Ride the Lightening is better than MoP
Thanks for another great video, if you guys want to dabble in black sabbath Electric Funeral, Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Wizard are great picks IMO
Not a bad one in that bunch!! They should do Sabbath on the Sabbath (Sundays) 😊🤘🏽
@@ShanLH5 Damn I like the ring to that
Glad you guys did this one, my favorite song of all time. The song that made me fall in love with Metallica. I now have the Ride the Lightning "M" tattooed on my forearm. This album is short but a masterpiece.
The album has a very dark theme for sure, as you guys mentioned. From an interview I saw with James about the album, the band was very interested and "into" the theme of death at the time. Hence song titles like For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, etc. Love your guys' reactions!
This is the song that lit James on fire during a live gig in Montreal in 1992. He accidently stepped on a 12 ft. flame.
That solo has got me into metallica
When i give a listen to metallica in 2019
And now i am a fan of james hetfield he is my favourite ❤🤘🏽😍
I’ve been listening to Metallica since the mid 80s and am a die hard “old school” fan. Their first 3 albums (kill em all/ ride the lightning/master of puppets) are the best they ever made- not that the ones since are bad by any means. THEN they came out with “hardwired” a few years ago. Talk about still kicking ass in your 50s! You are in for a ride if you start down the Metallica slide. Not only is the music itself spectacular but they are know for very deep meaningful lyrics.
Live in Moscow. There's a music video for it. The crowd was insane!!
I'd seen from several other reaction videos that at one concert they played before 1.6 million people.
Granted I wasn't there personally, and that was the first time I heard that, but IF that's true that would be absolutely awesome
Took me right back to my childhood.
Anything after the Black Album probably isn’t gonna get many requests. There are great songs after that album and even the newest stuff is good, but Black Album and before are the golden years. Most of what you listen to from them in that time frame is gonna be badass.
Sooo I heard this weird guy have been constantly suggesting you react to Karnivool - Goliath, and that seems like a really solid idea, mainly because I'm that weird guy, and Karnivool are freakin awesome. Great reaction by the way, brings back good memoriea, my mum actually introduced me to Metallica when I was about 13-14, and that started me on my love of metal.
In the 80's and 90's Metallica was the biggest band around man. They have played on every continent including Antartica and there isnt anything but glaciers and weather observatories!I grew up on Metallica..the funny thing is my homegirl Kelly from around the corner came over and turned me onto them bigtime i was listening to the classic rock daily.After that day It was a long time before i listened to classic rock i was hooked on Metallica man!
6 ppl can’t grasp perfection, disliking a masterpiece of a song 🎧
I'm loving this channel! Keep it up guys
I love the guitar chorus at the beginning 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: Metallica is the only performance artist to have played a show on all 7 continents on the planet Earth. In December of 2013, they played a show in Antarctica. Take a moment to let the magnitude of that sink in.
Somewhere around 5:50 ya'll were talking about how this album revolves around death.
Yea. You nailed it. "Ride The Lightning". Album cover has a chair with electricity on it. Electric chair.
On September 28, 1991, AC/DC, Pantera, Metallica, The Black Crowes, E.S.T. had a show in Moscow that drew 1.6 million crowd... while concert was free and Metallica was only a part of it, according to Wikipedia, it's still 5th largest crowd recorded...
To answer the question, yes, Metallica and a few other groups as a part of Monsters of Rock played in front of the largest ever crowd (1.6 million according to Wikipedia) for a music show/festival, at Tushino Airfield in Moscow on 9/28/91. 4 other musical artists have played in front of more people, but they weren't concerts/festivals (New Year's Eve in Rio, Bastille Day in Paris, & Moscow's 850th anniversary celebration).
Amazing reaction as usual!!
May the LORD GOD bless you!!
First time I heard Metallica was In USMC BOOT CAMP PI. I've been a fan ever since.
Heard this live along with 10,000 other people when I was 12 years old. Gigantic coffins descended from the arena ceiling on long chains and looked over us lower and lower as the set progressed. Been a diehard long haired metal head ever since.
Call of Cthulhu, the thing that should not be, leper Messiah to keep on you on the metallica train during this Halloween. Gotta do am i evil as well.
Don’t forget Dyers Eve🔥🔥
@@-TRIAD- ❤
This is in my opinion Metallica's greatest song. And many people are on record as saying that it saved their life
So brothers Great reaction. So glad you found metal world, its a beautiful place
Keep it up
You put up videos I would've requested.
I think you boys are ready for Sleep Token - The Offering. Great channel and reactions!
Great reaction, you were really feeling it! Love your authenticity and love for the music. And yes, they have the record in Moscow 1991. You gotta do a reaction to a live from that show! "Enter Sandman" and "Creeping Death" live in Moscow 91 are the best and most reacted and are TOTALLY worth it! Peace.
Def in the top 3 FADE TO BLACK reactions I've ever seen 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hellz yeah 🤘. Used to rock this and Pantera back in highschool on church trips on my Aiwa cd player 🤣
Two of the best guitar outros of all time. Metallica Fade to Black, and Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb Pulse concert.
Thank you 2 Thats all Just thanxxxxx!
Love me some old school Metallica any day 🤘🏼
I got to grow up in the best era!!! God, this puts me right back in highschool🥰. Never, ever gets old!
Love this track, Cliff Burton's bass is bad-ass! Miss you Cliff.🤘
In the early-mid 90s, if you put a 5 act rock festival together and somehow got (in no order of popularity) Metallica, U2, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi all to play it in one night, at the right spot you might get the largest crowd ever assembled. And that’s likely to this day.
The Monsters of Rock tour in 1991 played in Moscow to the tune of 1.6 million people. Plenty of videos on youtube of Metallica and Pantera's sets from that concert.
1991 Monsters of Rock Festival in Moscow/Russia.....1.5 MILLION People were there !!!!!!
Welcome to my youth in the 80's guys... a TON of music that fires you up like nothing else... Sabbath, Zep, Metallica, Dio, Ozzy's solo stuff, Iron Maiden... on and on and on...
11 Studio Albums, 44 singles, and 43 music video's
The solos in ride the lightning are the reason the earth is still spinning
Lateralus when Kirk Hammett walked onstage, and they
Transitioned

For me this is the best Metallica song... I love this song
the fading trick adds memorabilia effect on the song! it makes it go on in ur head making u think more about the song and a greater chance that u would listen to it again!
"Free bird" by Beatles, one of the most iconic songs ever fades out then fades back in just to fade out again quickly! it creates a mystery effect on ur brain!
When they played in moscow it was a crowd of 1.6 MILLION...check out creeping death live in Moscow
Metallica are with out a doubt true musician's. Tha melody the lyrics the power...awesome.
Moscow 1991, estimated 1.6 million probably actually close to 2 million. The Stage was set up at the end of an airport runway & the crowd took up the entire at least 5 thousand foot runway.
It was the Monsters of Rock 1991 & the first MAJOR concert series to hit Russia right before the fall of Communism. Metallica, AC/DC & Pantera were the headliners for the show.
The adrenaline rush when I’ve seen them live is hard to explain⚡️🤘🏾
I had terrible night anxiety as a kid so when I would stay the night with my cousins they would play this for me at very low volume and I would sleep like a baby, this song always sits with me
💖
Metallica performed to over one million people at Toshino airfield in Russia at a monsters of rock tour. It was right after the iron curtain came down.
Dude, I WANT your Poe shirt! Cool song choice/reaction as well.
