This song is about James' mother who died when he was in high school. A wild kid growing up and never got to tell her these things then.
@@Antonjlavey No it ain't. James wrote this song
@@Krayziebone1991 Your right sorry... all this time I thought it was a old country song.
@@Antonjlaveymaybe you’re thinking of whiskey in the jar?
let me make your likes 200
Ah, Metallica's country song.
Insanely underrated.
Not in my mind, bro
@@smashleyscott8272 umm... okay? 😂
@@BamaXander I meant its not underrated in my mind. I love this song.
@@smashleyscott8272 ahh, gotcha lol sorry
Fun fact , its not country. Its a bluesy kinda song with the steel guitar.
I played this at my first husband's funeral. Initially I was informed the preacher refused to play it, which I knew he had just saw the artist's name and said no without listening. Of course I immediately responded the service will be held elsewhere, I wasn't folding. In the end he folded, and after the service numerous people repeatedly asked the preacher the name of the song and artist because it brought everyone to tears. I know my husband loved every moment he had to utter the words Metallica! 🤟❤
Mad respect for you
May he rest in peace. Very sorry for your loss. Kudos for standing your ground.
The preacher probably thought it was gonna sound like Slayer.
My Mother Passed away around 6 yrs ago and I shed tears whenever I hear this song. I miss her Dearly!!!
I feel exactly the same!
My mom passed away last year, and since then, this song hits totally different...
Losing mothers is sad but true, I feel like the shortest straw has been pulled for you.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
Same here my friend, same here. Those last lines about coming back and the cold stone...always make me cry.
When I first got into Metallica all I wanted was thrash proggy metal. When I heard this...not bein a country fan...hit me different. I love this and it helped. Thanks James
i avoided these albums, and never went back to relisten them. this is my first full listen of this song. Sounds like it's Time to give it a try
This song sucks so incredibly bad lol
@@frankhermansen243 It is an Excellent Metallica piece of work.
Much love, homie... 😊
@@frankhermansen243 ... way past time, bro... there is quality in variance
This song brutally deep. Damn near brings a tear to the eye. Some James Hetfield’s best lyrics.
I was one of the fans who rejected Load and Reload during their time BUT now these 2 albums are among my fav.
Exactly the same. Unforgiven 2 is one of my all time favorite songs of theirs
Until It Sleeps is a good tune from this era of Metallica
Blah...played out
@@LN-Lifer yup. And is one of their weakest offerings to begin with.
Off Reload
I love the video, truly artistic
Load and Reload are a couple of my favorite Metallica albums, they groove and show a different extension of the band. It's a shame they took so much shit over those albums.
They've grown to be in my top 5 for sure. Hell even St Anger is severely overrated.
@@mmmoendo That is an opinion. Not a fact.
@@mmmoendo ew no one cares what you think
Right?? They got so much shit for those albums and then in response they gave us St. Anger.... which is just cringy at best. I loved this era of Metallica personally.
Exactly… Metal is about being heavy on strings and the heart as well
Load and reload are a different great side of Metallica. Shows they are really versatile musicians
Too bad the Metallica snobs can't see that. The people who constantly call them sell outs and say they haven't put out good music since Justice.
Load is the better of the two albums in my opinion. There are sone great songs on both though (hero of the day, bleeding me, outlaw torn etc).
Songs like Fuel and Memory have become staples of the live shows too.
@@samcourt6228 Yeah Load is a great album, Reload still have it's moments, i would rather listen to the worst song on Reload than alot of modern rock for sure.
@@voodoocustompickups2547I don’t get that whole snobby sellout so called fans. The only Metallica album i didn’t care for is St. Anger.
Some of his best lyrics. A genius!
Guys only the top songwriter alive.
In metal hard rock sure. He blows Steve Harris away
I love this song. I love the whole era of Load, Reload, Garage Inc, and S&M. Tons of experimental stuff going on and it's all awesome to me. Too bad a lot of fans didn't appreciate this era very much. I don't know, I like it when artists switch up their style sometimes and don't allow themselves to be boxed in. True artists are able to effectively cross genres. It shows their depth of knowledge of music. That isn't always the case of course. Sometimes they just sellout for the money or are forced to by a label or something crappy like that, but I don't feel like that's what was going on with Metallica. This era was about growing as artists and musicians (and frankly just having fun), and I think they did a lot of that in the 90s.
Liked cuz of your profile pic.
"Fear the old blood".
Absolutely love when artists experiment with different sounds and styles, they create so much more that way. The fans that don’t appreciate it are the same people that would’ve gotten bored and complained about Metallica doing the same thing for so many years.
I’m so happy they don’t give a shit about what people think, they do what they do for themselves and the people who enjoy it.
But a cold stone is all I see..Jesus
That's deep. His mom died from cancer. Rip..dad as well
Yeah, that line stuck out for me too. I heard this song many times over the years but never caught that line until I watched this reaction.
This song always makes my eyes water.
Don't tell anyone. Lol
So sad. His mother died and he can never come home to her. Imagine where James would be today if he hadn't found an outlet to deal with the terrible childhood that he endured.
Great song and reaction! Bleeding Me is another great song from Metallica!
Good point Lex, You guys have done your Metallica journey right- You met them as early 20 year olds ready to take the world by storm, now you are seeing them as they grew older and have some reflection over their lives. Excited for you to get to the Death magnetic album, when they get sick of hearing about how much they have changed and say F it, lets make another thrash album as old dudes.
They have already to Death Magnetic era Metallica, The Day that Never Comes.
This is Load and Re-load Metallica, very blues and country inspired. Another one like this is Low Man's Lyric from Re-load, and their Unforgiven 2 is pretty country-ish as well..
Love Low Man's Lyric. Metallica got a lot of criticism for TBA and more so for Load/Re-load. But I do appreciate if artists keep looking for ways to express themselves honestly instead of repeating the formula that got them success.
One of my favorite Metallica songs is “Hero of the Day,” and it’s off Load if I remember right. I know critics panned it. Never understood it.
@@sarahzentexas Yep, Hero of the Day is from Load. Definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs too, and I never understood how people could pan that album. Sure, it was different, but looking back on it more than 20 years later, it was a masterpiece.
Metallica has been around so long they have era's, and each era brings something different. Personally, I love the 90's era Metallica. Still not their best era which is the 80's, but their 90's albums are real solid, just a different side to them. Check out more from LOAD/RELOAD for sure.
Lost my mother when I was young and this song hits me a bit different, it’s good!! That’s what’s great about Metallica, they got range, from in your face metal to melodic awesomeness!!Great song and album!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
1996 is not really new Metallica. It is however the slow radio-friendly Metallica. They went back to their roots somehow in recent years. One thing is for sure, Metallica has never been afraid of experimenting and I always respected them for that.
"I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone's all I see."
Damn.. Cold stone = headstone. Never caught that line before, though I heard this song many times.
My mother died in 1995, when I was the same age as James when he lost his mother and this song came next year. I still feel every word and note very deep inside.
Metallica - Bleeding Me
Yes please
Thanks for doing Metallica songs that no one else will touch. Dig the channel. 🤘
So much great “newer” Metallica out there! I implore you to react to Spit Out the Bone, All Nightmare Long, The Outlaw Torn, and My Apocalypse. (In that order) 🙏🙏
Please! Would love to hear your thoughts!
nah they are not good
Some great songs.
My Apocalypse wouldn't have been out of place on Master of Puppets. My favorite Metallica track of the last 20 years.
Thank you so much for doing this ❤🤘
This one means a lot to me
Love this song! Thank you Metallica for always doing what ya wanted to do and not what the “rest of the world” was doing! Thanks for the transformation and allowing us the fans to be a part of it!
Your mama looks up to you so much man- she's so proud of you!
super underrated song. again showing james’ versatility and great singing voice
Thanks. Been asking for this. Awesome song and album.
This song helped me immensely in dealing with my own mother's death.
Hero of the day was playing in my car on the way to the graveside for my dad’s funeral in September of 96. This album will always hold a special place for me.
Same here man. It is such a parallel to my life. I wasn't there until it was too late and it haunts me. This song is so special to me.
Not new Metallica. It's like 1993 Metallica. Came after the black album. Hardcore fans usually hate but I don't. I love the load album.
96*
Load and Reload both underrated
Yayyyyyy you guys did it thank you so much guys
When ever you do reactions to Metallica you will always get over a thousand likes. I love your channel guys 💞
Metallica:
Fixxxer
Low Man’s Lyric
Bleeding Me
Perfect list, dude. Great underrated songs, especially the first 2.
Please do Hero Of The Day. It's the song that defined my personal state of mind after Iraq. I'm so much better now, but when I hear it, it reminds me that I've finally started to change in a positive direction.
This song is just beautiful. I wish it was part of S&M. It would have been amazing with an symphonic backing
Beautiful song. James Hetfields mother died of cancer when she was 16. The lyrics he wrote was his way of saying goodbye and finally moving on.
You two are true soulmates man.
Brad, you are one lucky guy ❤️
I used to listen to this song all the time. Totally forgot about it until seeing this reaction. Awesome song.
Feel better soon, Josh. Prayers.
Should fo "Bleeding Me" from this same album maybe Hetfields best vocal performance.
I still had my mom by my side but sometimes i am so mad and regrets with myself with what have i done my mom forgive me but i I'll never forgive myself with what I've done at my young ages now i realized that the mother's love for her son is the greatest and precious love I've ever have and feels thanks to God's❤
I started listening to Metallica with this album. Then bought every previous album.
It took me years to discover this song on the load album but I'm glad that I finally did. Such a great song with meaning about James mom getting cancer and passing away early in his musical career while he was touring and he couldn't forgive himself for not being there for her😪
great reaction and spot on with your take on the song....sounds like he was a "typical kid". wanted to do his own thing and was always too busy to listen to his parents or get a hug from his mum. but now that he is older and more mature, all he wants is a hug from his mum but all he has is a cold tombstone..sad
I enjoyed this album. I know a lot of metalheads didn't care for it, but I think metallica is so talented they just can't be kept in a box of metal/rock.
I NEVER SUBSCRIBE! Until now... You guy's reacting to some of my favorite musicians got me here. But I never thought anyone would react to this one! I remember first hearing it.
Just wanna say Love you guys!! Some how stumbled on to you a week ago and really enjoy your reactions. You should check out Stained. Mr. Brad will like the story and Ms. Lex will love the raw rock. She is such a metal head! Start with “Mudshovel” and enjoy the ride. It would be from the early 2000’s. ROCK ON!!!!🤘🏻
I love 90's Metallica!!
There is a lot of “METALLICA FANS” that hate this side of their music history. This was around the time people claimed Metallica “SOLD OUT”. But I am glad Metallica has songs for wide range of moods and situations. I love how true they are to their own emotions.
This "new" Metallica is 25 years old. James wrote this song about his regrets and struggles with his mom, who died of cancer. He felt he never lived up to what she wanted him to be. Super underrated song in my opinion as is the whole Load album in general. 🤘🏽
Fuel is pretty heavy!
This one sounds so good, it has country vibes for sure!
And yes it does have that country feel.
love this song. although it does make me sad that it makes me think back on my childhood with my mom and how fucked it was, then after i got back from being in the army trying to have some kind of relationship rebuilt with her was kinda ruff and rocky but we kinda smoothed things out overall a couple years back. to then losing her this last december 22 when she slipped into a coma and couldnt come back.
I’m sorry to hear that, man.
Ohh nice
Omg I knew you'd like it hahahaha
Were all only here a short time in life... your gonna leave a mark, either a skid mark or a positive mark towards the betterment of mankind.
"This is different MetallicA" lol great track It's amazing how roughly 10 years earlier they released the epic The Thing That Should Not Be.
The Frayed Ends of Sanity
I love this song 💕 this whole album is so underrated. I believe this song is about James Hetfield’s mom. I think she died when he was a young teenager. And it to me shows as he’s growing up, he wishes he wouldn’t have taken his mom for granted. Such a beautiful song. And I’m not much a country fan but I do absolutely love this song. I think Lexi would like from this album Outlaw Torn. This album isn’t full thrash but I love the Load album. 💕
I'm with you lex about preferring fast metallica but this album and reload grew on me
YES!!! Great example of Metallica's musical versatility!!! Check out more of their great songs from the Load album- Hero Of The Day; Until It Sleeps; The Outlaw Torn; Bleeding Me 🤘
I never got appeal of this song but i came from The Black Album (my introduction to Metallica), then each album in reverse order.
They Load/Re-Load albums had some great power ballads/ballads, Unforgiven II, Bleeding Me, Low Mans Lyric, The Outlaw Torn.
I think my issue with this song is the Heart analogy (is it an analogy?)..I'm a very literally minded person so saying Heart in a song that doesn't actually have anything to do with a heart can annoy me (not always)
Listen to TURN THE PAGE. Amazing song and with similar style
Wow, kinda forgot about this one lol
Fixxxer, The Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me are excellent suggestions for reactions particular to this era of Metallica.
I grew up with the eighties Metallica and those albums were the reason I started playing guitar and making music. But today if I had to choose one Metallica album to listen to I'd choose Load. Yes there are loads (pun intended) of songs on that album that are nowhere near classics but for example *Bleeding Me* is one of my favourite Metallica songs ever.
I'm pretty much the same, I started out with 80's Metallica as well, but Load is still my second favorite album of theirs, behind the Black Album. I love Bleeding Me, Hero of the Day, The Outlaw Torn, and so many of the songs on that album.
Mama I'm coming home
Should give so what a listen 😂
You guys should listen to their Unforgiven trilogy!
Listen to low man's lyrics by them. You will like it brad
You gotta listen to 'Bleeding me' and 'Outlaw Torn' from this album
Load and Reload are definitely great albums. I'd be lying though if I said I handled the transition to "new" Metallica well back in the day.
This is all of those that have mothers. I lost mine 2009.
I'd love for you to listen to Whitesnake - Is This Love.
It's such a rock classic!
Low man's lyric PLS!Great video!
Now that you listen to this song please please react to low man's lyrics!! Regards from Argentina!!!!
Great Metallica find guys you should check out more from this era. Also check out Turn the Page. It's a cover but done Metallica right 👍
I get James on a level beyond music. We all grow up with something that molds us,his was religion,mine was an evil stepfather who broke our family.
I guess that is what drew me to Metallica. Thigs their songs are about mirror my youth quite closely. Yes even the dark thigs.
Getting closer to doing Fuel
@Brad & Lex This song is about James Hetield's mother who died from cancer when he was just 16. Both of his parents were Christian Scientists which is basically a religion where you don't believe in doctors or medicine and you rely on your faith to fix whatever's ailing you. James was exempted from health class as well as getting checkups because his parents religion.
I suggest you check out "bleeding me" great song you'll love
Next time I recommend you to react to Astronomy by Metallica, also a very underrated song by them imo!
Hetfield has always been a fan of the heavier country, outlaw country, and old school country of Waylan Jennings, for example. He got this from his dad, Virgil.
Metallica didn't change into *this* sound, this was a ballad on the album, as an interesting spacer. BUT, if you want to hear the cowboy in the metal (or hard rock? dunno), check out Outlaw Torn, the last track on the album. It's a personal favourite.
First time I've heard this song of theirs, def don't remember it from the 2000 concert I went to. TH-cam is showing the video was released in 2012 so that makes sense. Then again, they got less heavy over the years so... that makes sense I guess.
Hello again. Hope all is well. I'd love to see your reaction to The Outlaw Torn. The studio version is good but the S&M (first S&M as there's now two) is superior (of course that's my opinion). That said, in order to appreciate how good it is you need to hear the original version. Basically all the S&M songs sound great to me. You already did No Leaf Clover but, even if you don't do a reaction, look at the track list and give a listen to some of the ones you've already done (with or without a reaction video). Brad will love For Whom The Bell Tolls and Master of Puppets. I'm getting around to your Battery reaction or I'd include that as well. :) Lots of love from Cali and keep on jammin.
If you haven't checked out spit out the bone from the last album, it might be a good choice. Or here comes revenge is another great track.
People just don't give Load and Reload enough chance but they have some songs that show a different side of Metallica. I think they help to display range.
This reminds me, Always On The Run by Lenny Kravitz would be great to react to!!!
James' mother died a painful death from cancer and he grew up with a lot of anger and bitterness about it all. This is his farewell to her.
I get it when you said new Metallica Lex.
Now days I like to call it new era Metallica
Shout out Josh get well soon.
James has said if Metallica ever broke up he was interested in making a country album for the challenge and something different for him. Assume this song stems from that. Glad they didn't break up and I don't like country but I would've liked to hear it
Get well Josh
Spit out the Bone Metallica please!!
