- As promised, I said I would do 'To Live Is To Die' as the next And Justice For All reaction. This one felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. I love Metallica's instrumental tracks but sometimes I don't like to react to them as I know a lot of people complain when I pause. However, pausing is inevitable and I can't help it for this video.
Here is my reaction to hearing Metallica - To Live Is To Die for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

This song is a memorial to Cliff Burton
You cAN tElL bY hOW MuCh tHey EmphASIzE JasOn'S Bass
@@jimzsblue Hilarious! Shall I say it... Sad But True!
I think Cliff had actually wrote it before died. I could be wrong. I read he wrote it on the Master tour. I know he wanted the lyrics "When a man dies he murders a part of the world" part. HP Lovecraft I believe. Not sure.
@@jimzsblue as a bass player, I had a weird epiphany while listening to this just now after thinking the exact same thing. This album is almost like a "missing man" tribute to Cliff. I don't know if Lars had that in mind or if he was just being a twat, but looking back... the album does kind of have that vibe.
@@chrisergna617 Interesting theory. And perhaps it was a subconscious tribute to Cliff by turning the bass down on the album.
That middle emotional section is the band grieving cliff burtons death. I still get goosebmps after all these years. R.i.p. cliff
Its hard to name a favorite Metallica song or even narrow it down to 10 for that matter but this song and Fade to Black have to be 2 of my favorites just absolutely amazing
Scott Ian (from Anthrax) said James went out drunk and screamed “Where are you Cliff?” the night of the accident which made Kirk break down in tears. Man when I heard this story I chocked up.
Never knew Scott Ian was there, I heard the story was just Kirk looking out his hotel room and seeing James shout about cliff, either way it’s fucking sad man, rip the 🐐
Anthrax was the opener for Metallica on this tour, they headed to the hotel hours before Metallica, by the time Metallica finally got there Cliff was gone 😢
@@cheezy8492 It was Kirk who said that for VH1 documentary of the band.
Anthrax and Metallica have been friends for over 40 years. In good times and bad, sadly when Cliff died it was the worst for all of them. Dave Mustaine wrote in my Darkest Hour as a tribute to Cliff.
@9:53 James doesn't solo often, but when he does...damn.
James is a way better lead player than Kirk. I think even Kirk would agree
James said he thinks Kirk is the better lead which I agree technically. James is one of the best rhythm guitarist of all time though. Kirk said James’ precision is in his right hand while his is in his left. Overall I prefer James’ solos. Its always so well written, so purposeful. But Kirk has some iconic solos of his own!
@@neilpatrickhairless James is great at playing simpler solos with a lot of emotion, but he's admitting himself that he can't shred.
These comments....? James v Kirk for lead solo...? Modern...fans by any chance..? Start at the start ffs.... after AJFA things went downhill fast, the first 4-5 albums are pure Metallica thrasher metal...after AJFA... money and the commercial crap took over!
@neilpatrickhairless Yeah, dunno bout all that. I was just pointing out James makes quite the gut feel with his solos.
There's a reason for the abrupt ending that makes it 100% make sense when you listen to the album (basically it leads directly into the next song, Dyer's Eve).
It also makes the song loop, like living and dying.
His brain will explode when he gets to the next one.
Dyers eve, maybe their best song, definitely the best on this album.
@@mstorrboy Already been done
@@metler7642 i missed it
The song ends so abruptly and unexpectedly right in the middle of the riff to portray just how abruptly and unexpectedly life can end, at least that's what I have always thought
Yes
It immediately starts the next song. People should always react to this and the next song in the same video.
Yes thats correct
@@RamonMena-u6i
RIP Cliff
It's their journey with Cliff- his life, his death, their mourning, their anger, their resoluteness to keep going... RIP Cliff. Sorely missed.
BTW it ends abruptly on purpose- Cliff's life, unfinished...It also goes into Dyer's Eve but I think that's the reason that it ends like this is because they communicate through their music. It's not an accident.
it ended like that because right after it is Dyers Eve and that hits you right in the face
This song is a tribute to Cliff. The abrupt ending not only leads into the next song; but it represents the abrupt end to Cliff's life. Also; that mellow acoustic part in the middle of the song is a riff that Cliff wrote but was never recorded.
Yep. Not a lot of people think of Cliff as a guitar player but he played guitar often with Jim Martin of Faith No More, who was a close friend of Cliff's
@trickhairlessThe abrupt ending of Cliff's life is right here 8:59. The ending is just supposed to transition to Dyers Eve
No the middle section was written by James, the intro was based on something cliff used to play.
Definitely a headphones listen to get best quality the drums are filthy
What you talk about towards the end of the video, in my opinion, is why Metallica are one of the greatest bands, let alone metal bands, in the history of modern music. They are all outstanding musicians who have the ability to connect with millions of people in many different ways. Some people like Metallica for their early music, some like them for their more ‘popular music’, some for their modern music and so on. The fact is, people like Metallica because of their amazing ability to produce incredible music!
Perfectly sad
This is the best song off AJFA in my opinion
Think you’re right bro. Always said One was best but this edges it out for sure. Get emotional every time I hear it.
That would be One, then this, then Blackened. In my factual opinion.
Yes its a tribute to Cliff. The song is said to represents the different stages of grief. I think it’s also one of the best solos James has written. Always melodic and filled with emotion in true Hetfield style.
Choosing my favorite song on this album is like asking what kid I like most
Oh yes... This one is flawless. Absolutely beautiful composition. Will be watching this one.
Enjoy 🙌
And to think shortest straw won the poll!! This has always been my fav track. A genuine masterpiece
I once read or heard someone refer to this song as a "melodic masterpiece." To this day, that is the best description, effin nailed it🤘🏼
I first heard this song in 1989, and the arpeggio that starts in the middle before the interlude ripped my heart out as an pure expression of anger, pain and grief. This masterpiece has saved my life over and over again since that day. It makes me clean and feel like other people feel how I do.
fight between this and Orion as my favourite composition of all time.
Please…you need to react to the song Of Wolf And Man from Metallica!
That's a Banger!! With Jason San Diego I was there!! It was fire!! Jason was howling... it wasn't as popular as binge n purge but San Diego was up there!! 🫶🤘
I was 15 when Cliff was taken and 17 when this album came out. This song shattered us when we found out it was about Cliff and included his poem. RIP Cliff.
the frayed ends of sanity next on this album???🙏🏽
js two more to go from the album, frayed ends and eye of the beholder, all bangers
I've been waiting for this one! Best Metallica song and damn not only is it a Banger but will bring you to tears. Been enjoying the videos
their instrumental from the album ride the lightning, Call of Kthulu !!! Their best instrumental of all time.
Nah, I disagree. Orion is their best.
I love call of katulu but I think To live is to die and Orion are the two best instrumentals I’ve ever heard
i strongly disagree
@@SuperRoo_22 i strongly disagree
Kthulu is amazing, and it's not my intention to take away from that, but for me, the only reason Orion, which is an absolute masterpiece loses out to this one is the emotional subject matter of this song and the haunting mid section of this song
I have listened to this song hundreds of times and it still gives me goosebumps every single time. RIP Cliff
The lyrics james sung is written onto cliffs grave .
Yes, it's from the movie "excalibur" by J. Boorman...
one of the best instrumentals ever written, what can I say. One should feel so lucky about being ever familiar with such a masterpiece
This song belongs in a museum...
Masterpiece
You should do the Metallica EP Garage Days. Crash Course in Brain Surgery is my favorite tune off of it.
And it has the full versions of 'Breadfan' and 'Am i Evil?'
LIVE versions always cut out the best bits. Like the live version of 'The four horsemen' by metallica
the ending of this song continues without a gap to Dyers Eve, that's why the end sounds abrupt
Bro you have musical feeling. For not being a metal guy and clearly understanding the emotion behind this song, and when the climax happens, coupled with the raw emotion of the players, dude you do this song justice in your review no pun intended.
Let it out bro, it’s ok. We have all done it. Especially to this epic memorial to Cliff. Love how genuine your reactions are bruv.
The Frayed Ends of Sanity is the last one. I'm excited for it! Very underrated.
And there it is, the greatest Metallica song and to me one of the finest pieces of music ever written, I’ve been listening to this album and in particular this song since 1988, it never fails to amaze me, I deliberately don’t listen to it for ages so that I can get the feeling of rediscovering it again and again!
I just love your reactions to Metallica.... I have been listening to them since i was 14 years old and I am now 51 and it never gets old.... I do my housework to this music... Keep listening and enjoying mate \m/
That middle section when everything cuts out and that clean guitar comes in Low-fi before "low-fi" was a thing ❤😂. Pure genius.
Crazy goosebumps in this song MOLLYBOY. You will enjoy 🙂
Best song on the album bro
This song is emotional because it’s a tribute to the late bassist, Cliff Burton. There were riffs and sections that Cliff was working on before he died in the bus accident, and the band pieces these together into this song. Also, the lyrics at the end is a quote that Cliff used to say. The entire song is a tribute from the surviving members of the band, to their former bassist.
If I had to use just one word, to describe this song, it would be:
Majestic
This riff and especially the harmony later on is so epic, heavy, beautiful und ... majestic.
One of this songs that always gives me goosebumbs and brings tears my eyes, bro.
One of the greatest most moving pieces of music ever written. Love it 🙏
The fade in on this track is phenomenal
Best way to listen to Metallica is no distractions lights out in the dark and let it wash over you. There's depths to their music that makes your soul weep....
This is an amazing song riffs written mainly by Cliff before he died surely with additions. The way it starts calm soothing is on purpose and the abruptness of the ending symbolizes the abrupt passing of Cliff. “To live is to die” is also a line Cliff used to say so they used it for the song and the lyric part is a german poem. The song is supposed to be emotional and that’s why you felt emotional. It is about the best that Metallica ever produced. RIP Cliff Burton, but long lives the legend.
This one gets you right in the feels bro
I love every note of this entire album. My favorite from beginning to end. ❤
Damn, We miss you Cliff. I can’t listen to this song without crying and I’m not ashamed. Cliff 🤘
Listen to the words said towards the end of the song. Part of that is written on Cliff Burton's tomb stone which I think was his very own words.
The movie EXCALIBUR
The live version of this from Seattle which leads into master of puppets is one of the best live videos i think I've ever seen. Definitely worth a watch!
RIP Cliff.
Im lucky enough to have grown up with Metallica but I think its great for someone like you whos just started listening to them and getting to "feel" their music. Keep onward!
trying not to cry while listening to this is almost impossible... 😢
I listen to this to this song on repeat. It’s helping me get through the toughest thing I had to go through in my life. One day at a time!
This a great song. Saw Metallica on this tour as my first time seeing them. Queensrÿche opened.
James, how many riffs you do you want to put in this song?
James: "Yes."
I forgot how good this song is! Thanks fur the video, and the memories this song brought back.
Call of katulu next
One of my favorite tracks on my absolute favorite album. The way the melodic line soars, and flows throughout the song is just beautiful. There are some great moments of pure savagery in there as well. Then in the 3/4 section it becomes an anthem of triumph over any adversity. A fitting tribute. The musical representation (and immortalization) of Cliff.
As you said many times...
Beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it. A very, very special track. Enjoy your next listen to it. It really is a flawless composition - the guitars leading up to the break and Hetfields solo are literally crying. Then that stark, quiet solo from James - the numbness of the loss.
RIP Cliff ♠️
I love Metallica. They made me want to learn how to play guitar around 1996. After that when I would listen to Metallica all I would hear was the guitar. It was so frustrating. It literally took me 2 years to be able to hear the band as a whole again.
Love this ❤🤟🤘🤟
First five Metallica albums is the greatest band ever, that broke down and expanded more doors for every metak band that came after (and some from before!) The GODS.
The guitars sound like they're crying on this song. I love it
Those words are from the late Cliff Burton. Not only was he a genius bass player but he could also write beautifull poems.
They are from the movie EXCALIBUR
You're correct, and justice for all is so underrated. I think it is some of their best music. JMO 🤗
Metallica's own words, too clean and each song is too long.
Good album but sits below Master and Ride, slightly ahead of Black and Kill Em All.
Clif for ever.
Don’t know if someone’s already mentioned it but it’s cliffs voice on this track, not James, makes it beautifully eerie
METALLICA has 4 maybe 5 of the greatest Rock albums ever! Idk what order or place but def all in the top 25
R. I. P. Cliff Burton this is a dedicated song 🤘🤘🤘thank you bro
One day you will have to react to the best instrumental song in Metal, *Inquisition Simphony* by Sepultura 🤘🏻
I wish they would re-release that album with better production, as it is a classic.
This song is truly their magnum opus in my opinion, I've never had grief strike me so vividly in the music itself. Not a single hint of lyric for musical direction safe for near the end and yet like you mentioned it's like watching a movie or reading a poem somehow both.
If you listen to it on the actual album at the end the drums start coming in hard right into dyers eve with no separation. Just beautiful!
i remember the exact moment in time I first listen to this song. that whole middle secton. my blood ran cold
oh boy! this is a hard one! you just can feel every emotion in there!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When you say that you feel like you are watching a film listening to this, that actually makes more sense than you probably realize. A lot of Cliff's writing contributions to Metallica were either directly inspired by a film or TV show and he wrote and arranged music in a classical style more suited to film scoring than something you might expect on a metal album. The classical vibe Metallica took on later with parts of Black album and S&M were 100% inspired by Cliff Burton
The reson it abruptly ended was because on teh album the next song (Dyers Eve) kicks in at that exact point. In a way it was a tribute to cliff and he wrote parts of it
17:00 I'll tell you how. Just like we use our voice, instruments too have a voice. Songs are just an arrangement of voices; some human and some mechanical. Just like we can listen to a story told to us by a person speaking a language that we cannot understand and still see and feel the types of emotions attached to that story, we can listen to an instrumental composition and let it tell us its story too. The beautiful part about that is, we can each enjoy our own interpretation and have the story mean whatever we feel it to be.
This is also my favourite track on this album, and I can see it having the same wonderful effect on you that I remember. Great choice.
Frayed ends of sanity was played in Finland 2014, I think? James said they polled the fans! And btw there's no way Kirk would lipsync guitar or Metallica would never play not live. Never! I was 20ft from them Aug 25th & 27th 2023. And he nails it, not sure what you're exactly saying though 🤔🤘〽️
More like 35ft... but you can hear the strokes with the picks.
Suomi mainittu! Torille! Jämpti grgrgrrr
It's me again and you really need to trust me, if you want groove and sick riffs, melodies and stuff... how about getting into Black Sabbath? Symptom of the universe, Supernaut, Sabbath bloody sabbath or Children of the grave could be great examples of why Black Sabbath is the GOAT.
Fail to mention best sabbath songs
@@shaheedharun445 The ones that I mentioned are not only one of their best works but also great introductions to the band. I'm not gonna recommend Solitude or Snowblind to a guy who's not into Sabbath, Doom, Stoner or Metal yet.
Stfu.
OG Sabbath is hands down the GOAT. Way too many songs to even begin to name. Great recommendation!
RIP Cliff 🖤🤘🏻
This album is their best work from start to finish
Devourment-Festering Vomitous Mass
Am crying now...😢😢😢 soooo emotional for me!!
Love your reactions to my favorite band of all time.
So it abruptly ended because back then in the era of cassette and cd it transitions into the next track automatically which was dyers eve and sounded amazing! Also there is a portion of this song that was written by cliff, it’s the last music he wrote.
I always weep with this one. Always.
Jason Newsted had some massive shoes to fill, Cliff was a beast. RIP CB
The end of that song non stop continues into the next track REALSHIT!
Parts of this track sound almost orchestral, and that's what I love about it. Especially the acoustic bit, almost sounds like violins.....about time you got around to this one........ :)
This song is epic up really loud with headphones on....
🤘🤘
Impressed by Metallica 🤟 best band ever
Thanks for reminding me of how badass this is. I'll admit when I listened to his album at time of release, I would skip this because it was mostly instrumental and so long. Now, I'm listening to it "for the first time" through your perspective. Good shit man....
This is the best song Metallica has ever made, and I am taking that to my grave.
You have to listen to this and let it play right into Dyer’s Eve, listen to them consecutively! It will blow your mind.
Beyond lit. I nearly tear up thinking about cliff when I listen to this.
The reason why the ending finish so abruptly is because dyer eve's starts right after with no delay on the original album ! The first time I heard that, I jumped out of my seat ! 🤣
This song is a journey
Metal life...is true...Metallica...Metalix forever...👍👍👍
💀\m/💔 Rest in Peace Cliff 💔\m/💀
😢Forever a Legend !!!!!!!
