      And now you opened the floodgates my guy. Unforgiven II. Gotta react to the follow up.
      With respect to your comment on how the lead singer, James Hetfield, bends words? Sounds like a very famous MC we all know and love, Eminem. 😃 He plays with bending words too..
      Love you, keep it going coach! Don't give up. You're unique, interesting, wise and 💯 real.

      We don’t care about music videos. If I want to watch a video I’d watch a movie or a series (or TH-cam). If I want music, then the audio is the focus and the video (if it exists) is supplementary and unnecessary.

  • @DeadBeatSage
    @DeadBeatSage 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    If no one has mentioned it, there is a great video of Kirk recording the solo in one take because the producer said, "Okay, are we gonna hear 'Solo of the Year'?" He just says yeah and rips that beast out, just amazing.

    First time I can remember hearing this song and seeing this video was at around 7 years old. It was on a recorded VHS tape with a bunch of other music videos that my dad made. The video freaked me out as a kid. Then later when I grew up and I actually listened to the song I realized how beautiful and powerful it was and have loved it ever since.

    Great reaction.
    I’ve been finding out that I’ve lived rather naively. To me, music has always been music and I never attached it to a race. To me, you like what you like or even sometimes you just like what you’re familiar with. Music plays such a huge role in my life. Sometimes it is what I cling to, in order to not crumble. I feel music. I experience music and I’ve not ever thought that some music isn’t mine to listen to. That being said, i DO gravitate towards rock and metal and Classical. Not much in the way of r&b or hip hop. I have been opening my eyes to rap lately and am enjoying my journey. Interesting perspective Van.

    What you said about 'crossing over' into exploring not only new sound, but a new way of vocalizing words and even the words that people choose to say is true for me too but reversed. Been a metalhead for as long as I've been listening to music and have been making efforts over the last year to dive into hip hop, and what you said there perfectly explains my feelings 👍

    the essence of Metallica is their first album "kill em all" their best album unquestionably. It's the album I listened to almost 40 years ago and it's the one I've listened to the most in my life. Today I discovered a band "Lovebites" heavy, power, thrash, metal. An all-female band from the Japanese scene. And I must say that some of their titles have the color, Metallica. A band that deserves special attention for those who are open-minded. Search on you tube and listen to "break the wall", "The hammer of wrath", "Set the world on fire" (a killer), "thunder vengeance" (live) the opening of the concert.
