    So what you are talking about is in 2001, Metallica was in San Francisco and went to The Presidio, a former military barracks and began recording St. Anger. They never finished those recordings because James Hetfield went to rehab. They are essentially the beginnings of St. Anger and when you see the documentary Some Kind of Monster, you get a glimpse of those recordings. They were never officially release, but I am sure you can find those recordings. Some snippets were used for the St Anger album, the rest were demos.

    On the Fade to Black solo, Kirk is actually improvising a lot more these days, it has been the case for a few tours now and he mentionned that in his recent interview with Rick Beato. Interesting song to check out live, post 89 I would say. Interesting 12 strings used in 93/94, James now using an electronic guitar with both 6 strings and 12 strings sound to play the acoustic part.

  • @fixxxer3456

    Creeping Death is actually about the seven plagues that Egypt went through in the Bible. Story goes that James and Cliff were watching the movie The Ten Commandments one time and basically went "Huh, that would make a cool idea for a song" and one of the classic metal songs of all time was born

    I like to think the opening riff to ride is an attempt to mimic a lightning flash, on a guitar. That's why it sounds so "jagged" and "sharp". 🤟

    • @boots_33
      @boots_33 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think part of why the FIRST instance of that riff is tough for people to listen to is because the tom hits happen on the back beat of the rhythm. If yer counting 1-2-3-4, the first hit happens on the "4" and leads into the start of the song repeating on the "2" and "4."
      When the riff happens again at the end of the song, it comes in on the "1," which ends up feeling like a more natural transition in context.

    Presideo is the name of studio they were in before James went to rehab then they went a different direction and built their own headquarters. From there they did st. Anger. All nightmare long came partially from the presideo recordings. It was called shadow of the cross on the presideo recordings.

    @Deadlyspark 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I just want to say, if there is any song where a fade out perfectly fits a song and its purpose it's fade to black
    The song about suicide, fade out into nothing, much like life ending before it's time, the solo ends despite flowing with life and even getting second winds, either way, it still 'fades to black'
    Edit: clearly I wrote this before the fade to black discussion, but for me this is an exception among fade outs that just fits for me

  • @bennikk
    @bennikk 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Just a quick thing about James' vocals.
    He treats them like an instrument. He writes the vocal melody first, then writes the words that fit that melody. He some times adds another syllable to a word at the end, that creates that trademark Hetfield "AH" at the end of words.

  • @lanzarlaluna
    @lanzarlaluna 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    His legendary solos of years past were actually written! Kirk's improvisation on the last few albums just hasn't turned out well. That is partly why I think his solo EP Portals is so good. He actually gave it thought and composed the tracks. I would say his EP would make for a good shorter reaction video, but it's Patrick's favorite, instrumentals! 😂

    I'm Brazilian and I love your videos, especially about Metallica (I'm going to look for other videos from other bands on the channel), I learned English playing video-games and nowadays I find it easy to understand english speech and especially texts, your diction It's spectacular and I can understand everything without even using subtitles (but I use them often so as not to miss something), I noticed that Metallica's videos are doing very well on the channel but you've already listened to almost all the albums, so I wish you luck in being able to reach others fanbases that can watch your videos (like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc. - if they haven't reached it yet) to be able to bring more videos - and even if they listen for the second time, it's really cool to listen with you, I love your reactions and you can tell details that in my head only I noticed haha

      I worked at a recording studio in Omaha Nebraska for 7 years and one of the things we worked on the most was speech editing. That, combined with the fact that I have been editing Harry Potter podcasts for over 10 years means that I have a great appreciation for speech! It means a lot that you can understand us!
      Thank you for giving the channel a try! We have a lot of fun things planned other than Metallica, so hopefully fans of other bands can join in on the fun as well!

    About the 'what Metallica do and don't play live' part of the conversation.. I got into Metallica around 2007 when i was about twelve years old, and since then I have seen them live 4 times. Each time I saw them i felt they played really compelling setlists that shuffled things up quite well. I'll put the 4 unique sets I saw down below, i think it'll paint a pretty clear picture of what you can expect to see if you ever see them live.

    The lead guitar sound that you love on Fade to Black is a wah pedal engaged but left in the “up” position so the highs are cut. It has a super warm sound and it’s perfect for the solo.
    Also, I agree with your feelings on Call of Kthulu. I love the song, but agree that it feels like it drags on… listen to “Cliff the lightning” and it will change your mind. It is a fan-made remix on TH-cam that raises Cliff Burton’s bass in the levels and it adds SO much to the mix. It’s a much more interesting song with the bass levels raised.
    Glad you re-did this reaction. Looking forward to when you do Garage Inc

    I really enjoy Ride the Lightning's sound because it is so different from what we associate with metal today. Like a lot of early heavier music, it has this violence to it because it abuses a sound made for a different kind of rock. The music feels like it's doing something it shouldn't be doing, which is thrilling, and James' shouty vocals are a part of it.
    Another famous band that pushed against the boundaries of what was common in production is Nine Inch Nails. A more recent example may be Low.

    2:17:00 You know, mad respect for really listening and trying to appreciate Call Ktulu ( and all of RTL for that matter). Not my favorite track but once again really sounds better with a heightened bass. The studio version is just like "uhhh... what's happening here?" Not bad imo but way better with bass.

    The “presidio album” that’s available on TH-cam (never officially released) wasn’t even all from the presidio. At least one of the portions was from HQ. It’s just bits from jam sessions that’s interesting to hardcore Metallica fans.

    They have played "Escape" live one time (Orion Music and More Festival 2012), when they played the whole "Ride the lightning" album. James said before the song: "the song we never wanted to play live ever, is now on the setlist" 😀 1:18:46 and Chris: "back to the front!" is from "Disposable heroes" 🙃

    I insist, Metallica is a live band, some of their shows are iconic. Moscow 91, Mexico 93, Seattle 89, even Cunning stunts from 96. And tons of other shows. Most of their songs take an other dimension when they play them live. You should consider pick one of 2 shows and react to them. They are really impressive, especially the 88-93 era. James's voice at its best.

  • @GregMcNeish

    Two thoughts spring to mind with the discussion you guys had at the end of Fade to Black, both about the artistic merit of fading out the solo and another example of a song stopping instantly as a representation of death.
    I've always seen this song as being less about suicide itself and more the emotional and mental health descent that precedes it. The fading to black isn't consciousness fading away, but the sense of self, the sense of connection, the sense of purpose. He's giving up on life. So, when the solo kicks in and brings so much energy & passion, only to fade out, it's like Kirk is channeling all the family & friends of the protagonist who are trying to reach him, to bring him out of this funk. He is trying so desperately to get through and bring this episode to a happy ending, but it's all for not. Maybe the mind and body are still working, but this PERSON is gone. He, and the music, have faded to black.
    Now for something even more sad. Yay! In an example of an album ending with a heart-wrenching representation of a real-life tragedy, Blind Melon released an outtakes compilation album called Nico in 1996, a year after the death of lead singer Shannon Hoon from a cocaine overdose. The final track on the album is a song called "Letters from a Porcupine" and is an answering machine recording from Hoon to a band member playing acoustic guitar and singing a new song idea. Just shy of 2 minutes, in the heart of the action, everything stops dead and all we're left with is the beep at the end of the answering machine message. It's such a gut punch to experience as a perfect representation of a life ending so suddenly, right in the middle of his creative endeavours. I've never heard a posthumous album end on such a haunting note, and frankly, I'd be happy if I never experience anything quite that poignent again.
    I'm one of the long-time Metallica fans who discovered this channel through this series, and I'm glad you returned to Ride the Lightning. It's cool seeing how the perspectives have changed, both in liking more things now with practiced ears, and in having more context and nuance in describing the things you don't like. Great reviews hit the positives and the negatives, and this one did that in spades. Cheers!

  • @ryanwilliamson8890
    @ryanwilliamson8890 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    "Escape" was a last-minute composition that the band had to throw together for Ride the Lightning because the label wanted there to be one more song on it. Thus, the only time they ever played the song was during their 2012 Orion festival, when they played Ride the Lightning in its entirety.
    IMO the song is not only the weakest on the album, it very much doesnt fit in with the rest of the album...

  • @totallylegitrealguy750
    @totallylegitrealguy750 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just some random facts/tidbits/answers as I listen to this:
    •The entire album is in standard guitar tuning, but it's actually slightly higher pitched than that. The two theories I've always heard were that they did it to make it sound tighter, or that they had to do it to match the anvil hammer pitch (the "bell") in For Whom the Bell Tolls. The tuning is actually really annoying because if your guitar is correctly tuned to standard E tuning, it will sound ever so slightly off because you're slightly out-of-tune lol
    •The middle fast riff (before/after the solo) in Ride the Lightning was written by Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, as well as the intro for Call of Ktulu. If you ever do Megadeth reactions and hear Hangar 18, its intro has the same exact notes. (Actually, he also wrote the original Four Horsemen riff too, so both bands have a version of that exact song)
    •The distorted intro to For Whom the Bell Tolls is Cliff's bass. The horror-y squeals at the end are guitar, and they usually end the live version with Kirk going heavy on the wah/squealing guitar solo while everyone else holds on a final note in the background before
    •On the topic of For Whom The Bell Tolls being based on a novel, One is based on Johnny Got His Gun. Metallica also purchased rights to the movie for them use in their music video for On, which was the first music video they ever made
    •By 2010, Kirk started improvising the middle of the Fade to Black guitar solo at every show and has been very open about it. The beginning and ending are played the same, but the middle is a bit different each time
    •One cool thing about Metallica that I don't see too often is that they change up portions of their setlist every show. Yeah, they'd still hit their Sandman, One, Master of Puppets every show, but they'd change the thrash song(s), the opener, the cover song, the deep cut, the instrumental if they're doing one, etc. at every show. Their current tour has them playing two entirely different setlists every weekend with zero repeats from night to night
    •They won a Grammy for their Call of Ktulu performance with the symphony, and I think you'll love the extra dynamics when you get there. Same for The Outlaw torn since it adds so much more depth and feeling to the song. I just wish the bass was even more pronounced on the Ktulu remaster (and symphony version) because the constant similar-but-unique bass fills in every verse and the evil-sounding distorted wah is what defines the song's Lovecraftian horror theme
    Late edit: For Chris' definition of a perfect album, Justice is my personal candidate. That said, a lot of metalheads would credibly argue Master is a masterpiece album. Hell, I only follow a couple of reaction creators, and I've repeatedly heard them suggest that you could take any song off of Master and put it on a non-Metallica-tier metal band's album, and it would immediately be the best song on the album, if not their best song overall. Even if I prefer Justice, I can see exactly where they're coming from

    At 57:00 ish where you mention about the guitar sound on Master of puppets and there is a frequency you wish you could take out. On Master of puppets the guitars were tuned at 435hz instead of the standard 440hz. This is why when most people play along it always sound 'slightly' out of tune or just not quite right.
    They also did a lot of recording parts slow and speeding back up on KEA and RTL which may be what your ears are picking up. Great show by the way have been listening along to all of your Metallica episodes 🤘

  • @TerribleEnglish
    @TerribleEnglish 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I don't get you guys' aversion to fade outs. They might think it leaves a better impression (the final riff) rather than some contrived way of stopping it, like how they finish a lot of songs live - a big samey, symbol-heavy, crashy 'crescendo'-type finish, you know?.
    Regarding the Fade To Black solo, when when it fades, I just thought of it as repeated doodling really, for the fade out..

    Regarding playing just the hits versus deeper cuts, Iron Maiden have a novel approach. For the past 20 years they've tended to alternate tours between classics and new stuff. They'll do a tour focused on their new album and then follow it with a tour focused on 80s stuff. They played their 2006 album A Matter of Life and Death in full on its tour; it ruffled some feathers.

    As much as I love Creeping Death on this record, this might be their most iconic live track, at least when Jason was in the band. I will listen to any live version of this song from 89-00 over the original any day. His backing vocals and lead vox for the last verse make this his song, truly. Nowadays the backing vox are still okay with Rob, but James ALWAYS lets the crowd sing the whole last verse. I love to imagine it's a tribute to their greatest member, imo. Check out Creeping Death live! It's incredible

    For me, the best live version of Fade to Black is on the Live Shit Mexico City 1993 concert. I think you’ll be satisfied to hear how they resolve the song instead of fading out the solo! Also, Fade to Black is not featured on either of the symphony albums.

    Trapped Under Ice is actually supposed to have a sci-fi slant to it... the idea is that a guy in cryosleep (maybe during long distance space travel) suddenly realizes he is conscious and cannot move his body and is trapped bodily.... "trapped under ice." It apparently is a fear of James's or something because he revisits this idea again in One of being trapped in your own body and unable to communicate or cry out.
