They are artists and artists like to explore and increase their boundaries. It doesn't matter the medium.
Try telling that to the "First 4 or 5 albums only" elitists that keep commenting their same old closed-minded nonsense on Lilly's Metallica reactions that.
on this album they have already grown up, musically speaking, you don't need a band to play the same for 30 years to be liked by everyone
It works really well for one band to never really change and that's AC ⚡ DC other than them if a band doesn't grow and develop I lose interest
The Load and Re-Load albums both have some real gems and some of Metallica's best songs that show their growth, experimentation and maturity on them. Both albums were recorded during the same sessions, know as the Presidio Sessions, and was supposed to be a double album. Due to time crunch and pressure from the record label they took half of thew songs and put them on Load and the other half that needed more polishing on Re-Load. So hopefully you do both albums back to back because they were only released a year apart but were recorded at the same time. Some of my favorite Metallica songs (Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn, Memory Remains, Fixxxer) are on these albums and I've been a fan since Kill 'Em All.
The Presidio sessions were during the recordings of St. Anger, songs which still have not seen the light of day. Load and Reload were recorded at The Record Plant.
I love all Metallica. They have always been ahead of the game and made music for themselves. James has said that he makes music for himself calling himself selfish. He said if you like it great and if you don't then that's fine too. A super underrated song from Re Load is Fixxxer one of my favorite songs that they have made.
She will be reacting to the "Re-Load" album just as soon as she's finished with all of the songs on the "Load" album. You are also getting "St. Anger" confused with "Load" and "Reload" because those albums were recorded at The Plant Studios while the Presidio Sessions were early material for what would become "St. Anger".
No. They are not gems.
Some of the songs are good, but 2x4 is not one of them.
This Album Will Rot Your Soul.
@@Games-cj8 This album will absolutely NOT "rot your soul." Get out of here with that nonsense.
I recommend checking out a 3 sister rock band from Mexico, they love Metallica & have an incredibly infectious energy.
The Warning⚡ is made up of Daniela (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Paulina (Drums, Vocals) & Alejandra (Bass, Backing Vocals)
2014 their cover of Enter Sandman by Metallica went viral (14, 12, 9 yrs old respectively).
2019 they did a live cover of Atlas, Rise! by Metallica at the Whisky A GoGo
2021 at the invitation of Metallica they did a re-imagining of Enter Sandman for the Blacklist album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Black album
Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength, opening for Foo Fighters, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Muse along with their own headline tours.
Their original music is also fantastic, anything from “Live at Teatro Metropólitan (CDMX)” will showcase their current live wall of sound.
Lilly, do yourself a favor and heed the above! You will dig it. I'd recommend songs More, Choke, Evovle or Money. But hell, there many great songs.
🔥⚡🔥⚡🔥⚡
Absolutely 💯 %
The Warning is amazing! Straight-ahead rock with a purpose. Awesome power trio!
You hit the nail on the head with the blues comment. Before this album, there wasn't a lot of 1-4-5 going on until this era
I discovered Metallica in about 1992 at 14 years old. So Load was my first new Metallica music and I loved it. If you take Load for what it is, without the Metallica (Ride and Master) label attached, it’s a really great record. One of my favourites in fact.
Lemme guess... 'black' album got u into Metallica?
That's why...
looking forward for her to listen to " Where The Wild Things Are " from Reload
Least favorite off Load , "Poor Twisted Me" , Favorite "Bleeding Me"
Love it.
Hi, from Australia, I love this album. Load and reload. 100%
This was the Metallica album that was as far from Metallica as you could get. At first I didn't like it, but it soon grew on me. The musicianship is stellar on this. Thanks for reacting to this.
Actually I've heard more people that dislike the reload album. But I'm fine with both load and reload. I'm a diehard fan so I'm biased
I remember lots of people saying Load was Metallica's Emo Phase .
Love Load! It was a change from prior work for sure. But no issues with it at all. It's aged well
This point in Metallica's career kind of reminds me of WWE's The Undertaker.
He spent years as The Dead Man then re-branded himself into The American Bad Ass.
Basically what Metallica did with these albums. Their career was running dry. They had huge hits on the black album. But wasn't selling out concerts anymore. So they re-invented themselves to become what they are now.
They have such a diverse catalog for every type of mood. Whatever type they are playing will simply be the best of that genre.....Metal, Hard Rock, rock Anthems, epic metal ballads......Metallica versions are just better than everyone else released at the same time period
Metallica got a lot of unwarranted shit on the "Load" and "Reload" albums because they went in an entirely different direction musically, which was definitely not what a lot of their fans wanted. A good majority of Metallica's fans shit on this era of Metallica because they absolutely didn't want Metallica to change, or do anything different, or take chances or risks, and just wanted them to make a "part 2" of what they had already done before.
What these people absolutely fail to realize is that Metallica saw what was happening with the musical landscape changing when they were touring for The Black Album, just a month after the album was released. Grunge had become popular thanks to the success of Nirvana's "Nevermind" album. So of course, Metallica had to go in a different direction musically.
This is definitely one of the few tracks I like off of Load….very groovy & heavy 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
You said it all.
I remember when this album came out .. ppl were all up in arms hating this album . Metallica cut their hair and the sound was just so different from anything else they put out .. if I remember correctly it had been forever since they had released an album too . I was a fan of most of it but it was definitely controversial at the time
I like this album. I have always understood that fundamentally Metallica is a band that likes to try out different styles and make something new with every album. Kudos to them! I remember one "reporter" in my country scoffed at this album and ridiculed James for "trying to be a country singer". So what is wrong with that? James made a great cowboy with his handsome moustache. The only album I never got into was St. Anger, but Load and even Re-load, were really solid.
Definetly this is one of the most important album in my teenage life. We used to listening to this album with my friends from cover to cover, over and over again, every day, 24/7. What a great time we have. Outlaw torn, Bleeding me and King Nothing are my favorite songs. Ronnie isn't.
ronnie slaps
This was their biggest musical departure from their classic style. I lived through the divisive reactions, but I became a fan from the Black Album which wasn’t thrash metal. And being a classic rock fan I received this one with open arms. In my opinion it’s one of their classics. They’re a great all time band because they can step outside the box. Production, performance, songs…great stuff. Long live Metallica. 🤘🏽
I Love Load and RE Load
Bleeding Me, outlaw torn, man there are some real bangers on this record.
I'm 39 first album I owned
So listening to Metallica is like going on a roller coaster... You're going to get twists and turns and you're never know what's going to come next, but you do know it's going to be heavy and kick ass and still sounds like Metallica!... So just enjoy the ride and try not to compare each album from another and enjoy them for what they are... Rock on!! 🤘🏻
Haters of Load and Re-Load couldn't adapt to the new sounds of Metallica. On the other hand though, if Metallica would have done another Ride/Master/Justice album, they would have hated that because they sound the same, lol.
These two albums have just as many bangers on them as the other great albums - and the rest of them are mostly just as solid as you can expect. They can't all be perfect, usually.
There's definitely some surprises on these albums when it comes to their standard, and what they experiment with. I think you'll really like the next 4 out of 5 songs!
***Edit: I will add, that it's been a minute since I've heard this album in it's entirety. So, I'm kind of going on the journey with you since it will be my first time hearing a lot of the songs in a very long time.
Songs they still play live are the ones I still listen to: Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn, King Nothing, Memory Remains, Fixxxer, Fuel, and Until it Sleeps. I also really like Low Mans Lyric, but I've never heard them play it live.
Awesome video!! I love your hair, it always looks incredible! ❤️
again, the solo shows the whole picture of what is happening
I love Load
I was 12 back in '96 & my buddy brought this CD over and the first song I heard was King Nothing. I have been, some would say, obsessed ever since. Lol. After that, I went to their older stuff and even fell more in love. I love every era, phase, whatever you want to call it, of Metallica. Some people can't grasp the fact that you get older and maybe want to try new things, evolve, idk. To each their own, though!
Also, a good majority of people who have commented on this reaction unfortunately can't seem to comprehend or realize is that Metallica absolutely had to change, as well as evolve, try new things, take chances, and take risks. Especially in this instance because of how quickly grunge had taken over and changed the musical landscape when Metallica was on tour for two and a half years supporting The Black Album.
Some people don't like change when Metallica does something different. 100% facts. It's still so Awesome.
Such were the times, they tried to change for one reason or another, and like you said this didn't sound like they used to.
this was my first metallica album, so I really can't relate to people who listened to all of their 80s stuff and even the black album, only to get to this and experience the shock of something completely different.
I was 9 when this album came out, and I loved it the moment i listened to it.
The next song is one of my favourites on the album. The House Jack Built.
I dig load & reload, Bleeding of me,, killer track.
🙌BLEEDING ME🙌
I think load is a good album in retrospective, I think the reason people dislike it, is because its very different from old school metallica
Load and Reload are my favorite! I love the production and love how its something so much different than anything they had done at the time.
It’s a good riff.
Listen to mama said to see how far they expanded.
I was introduced to Metallica with this album so i love it
This is the first album that i bought. I knew this album wasnt good as the previous but im still love this different kind of music. I love bleeding me and until it sleep
'96 and '97! I was 21 and 22 respectively. Just had my first daughter. The 2nd was on the way in '97. These albums were the soundtracks of my early 20s! Trying to go somewhere with my band in Norcal! Trying to balance life with children and a brand new marriage! So many memories! Used to sit down with a guitar and a songbook try to hash out playing through these albums! 2X4 was more laid back but there was a slow, sinewy aggression that was palpable from the first drum fill! Listening to the songs from both albums is a Listening experience. However playing through them is a whole other way of understanding how metallica was changing through this period. Its still them! You can feel it! Its something different though! Been listening since '88! Been playing since '89! I will always be a fan! Least favorite song off of this album? Ronnie. Otherwise everyone of then is a classic to me.
To be honest... I looove this song!
deep knockout
Load and Reload were the last few cassette tapes I bought. Prodigy was my first CD.🤟
Bleeding Me is the best song on this album.
I grew up listening to this album so I like it
Load es el resultado de haber escuchado mucho AIC, Nirvana y Soundgarden.
🚶🏼
Jilly lane!!
Can we get some more SLAYER!!!????
I liked it
Waiting for your next load reaction I think it's house that jack built. See you soon 😊
Without listening to other songs or spoiling songs off the load and reload albums you should take a look at some old articles and things from when the albums came out to understand a little bit about what was happening at the time with Metallica. It's an interesting bit of history because they rocketed even further into commercial success with these 2 albums but some fans felt betrayed. But for Metallica they felt like they had done everything there was to do with there old sound.
"But some fans felt betrayed." A lot more like a good majority of fans felt betrayed. And they are still so closed-minded as well as butthurt that Metallica dared to be different as well as go in a different direction because of the fact that the musical landscape had changed so much while they were on tour for The Black Album. Metallica daring to not sound the same or write the same thing that they have done before and go in an entirely different direction, as well as have faith in themselves and do what they want to and feel like doing is somehow sacrilege to that majority of the Metallica fandom.
This is my favorite song from the Load album. I love the groove and bluesy style riff. After the first few tracks, nothing really stuck with me, though.
You’re not wrong when you say it doesn’t sound like Metallica, but the way I look at it is, the Load albums has the sound of a lot of their influences infused with their own style. So there is no sounding like Metallica, they are the sound. For this reason I love every album, even St. Anger. Lyrically the Load albums have some great stuff from James. A lot of good stuff to be found but not every song will sit the same as others
Kirk being stuck in the pentatonic scale in basically every solo in the 90s doesn't help it either.
Load is a strange album. It arguably features James' best vocal performances, Lars is more imaginative than ever on drums, Kirk seems to have found his place and has never looked more comfortable playing the guitar, and Jason's bass has a huge weight in the mix. The album is masterfully produced, and has some of the band's best riffs... but it's not thrash. It's violent, but not in the way Metallica fans were used to by then. Fortunately, the audience has finally accepted Load/Reload for what they are: great albums, regardless of the fact that they were preceded by masterpieces like Master of Puppets, Black Album, Ride the Lightning...
I took a lot of shit for really liking load and reload. Now that I've sobered up, these albums are different. Still some really great stuff on them though.
If you can find one of the first live version of this song like from donnington it’s is much more raw and heavier
My least favorite song on the Load album by Metallica is "Hero Of The Day". I like most of the other songs on this album. My favorite song on this album is "King Nothing". And "Bleeding Me" is another favorite. I certainly like "2x4", which sounds almost like a 1940s blues/swing/big band song, but take out the horns and substitute distorted metal guitars while making the drums more rowdy.
I love this album really like Until it sleeps and the house that jack build bleeding me mama said and outlaw torn
This is my favorite album by them besides Master of Puppets
This album is when Metallica started incorporating current influences into their music instead of just the metal they grew up with. They were definitely trying to channel Pantera when they wrote this song.
Love it!! Even the country song they put on here. It’s a banger
I love this album
Load and Reload are good albums, just VERY different than what came before. Evolution and change are important. AC/DC songs all sound the same. A trained ear might not recognize a particular song, but recognize which album it was from based solely on sound.
So bluuuuuessy!! If you want heavy and deep try 'Machine Head - Clenching the fists of dissent'.
Load is a great album…Bleeding Me is my favorite track
Many so-called Metallica fans don't realize Hetfield damaged his vocal cords in 1994 while performing So What in a live show causing him to learn how to have to recondition his voice, losing the screaming. They also wanted to define themselves as musicians rather than just thrash. Megadeth did the same on their Risk album.
I love everything Metallica has done. LEGENDS
ABSOLUTELY!👊 CHEERS!🍻😎🤘
Fanboys🙄
I personally never liked their tunes after the black album. But as years progressed I started to listen more and more of there new tunes. But good song.
I love Load. Spectacular album.
Kinda sucks
du grand et bon métallica 👍👍🤘🤘
The Outlaw Torn and King Nothing are different & good songs, but this one (2x4) although not a bad song was probably my lesser favorite in the album. Hope u like some of their other songs on the album better!
Load definitely took some adjustment but was a real grower over time. I’d say some people gave up too quickly on it and I was nearly one of them. Metallica have almost always been different from album to album - if they hadn’t moved on from Kill ‘em All as some would like then they’d be long gone by now. I will say that I much prefer Load to Reload. Reload has a few good tracks but mostly feels like B-sides and songs that weren’t fully baked in my opinion.
This album took some time to grow on me, just because it wasn't what I was used to up until that point in my discovery of their music. I love it now though, it's a great album, just different for them. I do like ReLoad more though lol
I am not sure what's my least favourite song here, but the best ones here are definitely King Nothing, Bleeding Me...
METALLICA AND LILLY ❤❤💪😍💖 LOVE
I think "it just doesn't feel like Metallica to me" describes this entire album. That doesn't mean I don't like it. I think it's a good album but definitely not one of my favorites.
Listen to Monsters by Shinedown
It was at this moment in time that Metallica completely transitioned from a thrash band to a hard rock band. Load and Reload both have bluesy songs that are excellent. These two albums gained many new fans but also lost a lot of old school thrash fans.
Some real catchy stuff in this album! Of course, it doesn't hold a candle to the Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets eras, but Load is far from the worst Metallica album. Can't wait for you to listen to more songs from it!
This song is a double entendre - violence and sex.
Hey hey😎🤜🍻🤛
I love the Load album. But its not my favorite. But if im truthful about it its probably my 4th favorite of all of them.
Imo Load and Reload are the most jamming albums of the Metallica era. They are so progressive. Lars on the drums, jason on the hearing bass, james left, kirk right and james perfect vocal lines. I hope you continue these two albums. There have highs and lows. \m/
If you listen to it and didn’t know it was Metallica. What would you think of it?
I like some of Load, Reload is my least favorite Metallica album. Definitely think everyone should listen to every album and make their own decisions. Thank you for the reaction Lilly! Love your channel.❤️🤘🏻
I enjoy all of Metallica's albums (yes, even St Anger!) but I have a certain love for Load and Reload. I also like that you go through the entire albums instead of just cherry picking songs that every other reactor has reacted to.
Just wait til you get to the masterpieces that are Bleeding Me and The Outlaw Torn.
❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This and the next album get a lot of undeserved hate. If you dont like it, cool. Spending calories on hate is nonsense.
This album isn't my favorite, but that's because I judge albums by how many songs on it I love, total. That said, Until it Sleeps and Bleeding Me are two of my favorite Metallica songs full stop.
I really enjoy this album. But to enjoy you it, its best going in to the rest of the album its not really thrash and more them trying a new sound out which i respect. Their are some great songs on this album tho bleeding me and outlaw torn specifically
Bleeding me is a great song from Load, but I also love Poor Twisted Me; such a great album.
Gross lol. hate that song so much but to each there own
I'm a big fan of what Metallica had balls enough to do while writing and recording the Load & Re Load albums, this is one of my favorites from the sessions. there is so much sonic experimentation, loose & greasy sometimes blusey " even a hint of Country" , but still heavy, and you also get Hammett rhyryms and Hetfield Leads, " yes I said that right" they switch up so much on this album . most people's complaint is " it doesn't sound like the Black album". James himself barked back at this point the Black album was nearly 6 years old, and everyone brought different ideas, wait till you hear Kirk play slide guitar on King Nothing. " also one of my favorites."
Not everything is a hit, a gem. I do like this song though.
Load is my 3rd favorite metallica album and I think their 5th best. they really played with different stuff, a lot of more bluesy stuff, even a freakin country song. that said, 1-2-3 and 9 are the bottom tracks of this album but I think are made up for by the sheer awesomeness of outlaw ToRn and bleeding me. it's definitely different, but it's still pretty damn good - different in the sense where if you're looking for thrash metal, you are definitely not going to find it on this album. And I like 72 seasons, but it fortunately also doesnt sound like 12 versions of the same song.
That on is probably least favorite. My personal favorite would have to be The House That Jack Built. Another to check out just for the solo is Outlaw Torn or Bleeding Me.
Metallica couldn't find their way to panteras level!!!
