LYRICS
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiving misbehaving
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Return again to where it’s darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich & Kirk Hammett

#Metallica #IfDarknessHadASon #72Seasons - เพลง
As a 87 year old rock grandpa I’ve seen them in 86 and I’m gonna in my wheelchair this year to see them live. No one can stop an old metal head. Rock on and rock hard!!!
Shin lets goooo! 🤌🏻🤘🏻
🤘🤘
Shin,thats the way ! Greets from Germany !
You 🚶♂️ go old man!!! Love it
Awesome!!!!! I'll be 50 this year and these guys still rock!
I'm an 65 year old grandma in germany and I'm SO excited...it's great... love Metallica forever 🤘
Saw your profile. You're not 65. 😂
@@unrepentantoffender188 Uh, what
@@unrepentantoffender188 how did you find out hes not 65
@@unrepentantoffender188 You know people can share accounts with family?
Im a 62 yr old boomer and love metallica and nearly all the metal genres....!!!! No bullshit...!!!!!j like grandma
A famous person once said, When you are happy, you enjoy music. But when you're sad, you understand the lyrics
Very well stated!❤🔥
"I am the table"
Exactly. Your placement is perfect
@@aerodynamickerballmaoooo
Whojojouh, whojojouh.
That riff under "TEMPTATION" is absolutely filthy! Best single riff on the album for me.
I like the riffs from You Must Burn! And maybe a few others more but I agree, one of the highlights of the album
Chasing Light begs to differ
shadows follow, just before the solo
Best riff in, hell, a long time.
This was my favorite part of the new song.
I feel privileged to be able to say I lived in the age of Metallica
Well said Amigo.........
Amen brother
Me too!!!!
Imagine being able to say you lived and was able to appreciate their greatness during their peak, (I'm not one of them)
Like before 86?
Born too late to see the dinosaurs, born too early to go to space. Born perfectly to exist at the same time as Metallica
👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤣🤣
I come to TH-cam for comments like this
Amem WELL SAID
🤟🏻
Amen
As a 61 year old Grandpa I believe if it's too loud; you're too old. I enjoy cranking this tune so much I make sure my neighbors hear it too. Absolute Gold.
Hit it hard grandpa, guarantee the grandkids will love it!!!🤘🤘
I used to have a KISS tour shirt that said that from the Animalize Tour
If you think you're to old for metal, you are!
@@user-fp5cv4zi9x Never too old my boy, never too loud, never too heavy!! Let's go brother!!!!
The old man then prepares.. to rock blissfullyyyyy.. that old man here is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
This is by far the best song on the 72 Seasons album. Absolutely epic
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
To be honest it sounds bland to me I think they have lost the magic
agree
Agreed.
This is by far the best song on this album. 37 years a fan now see them multiple times and it’s always phenomenal. Keep shreddin brothas!
The fact that it's 2023 and we're getting new Metallica songs is absolutely amazing!
Thank you legends!
Whatever they output... you will love it. That's sad. This is synthetic music designed for making money without effort. Motorhead played this way. Mtllc = copycats.
@@cesaraugusto8630 yes, whatever they output, we will love
Cuz we love this band and their style
If we didnt, we wouldnt be here
Thats how preference works
@@cesaraugusto8630 your comment is sad.
Sad but true. LOL
Motorhead for more that 30 years did what mtllc have done since the early 90s. I love metal music and it is frustrating meeting people who think mtllc is more important than metal music. Did you know James and Lars considered Iron Maiden rivals? WOW! Just like Kiss did. There are and were so many superb bands out there... and you dont take a look at them. Obliveon, Atheist, Equinox, Sadus, Gorement! Music not money.
You can tell this song is super personal to James. That "hide yourself behind tomorrow" line is telltale for anyone that's ever dealt with addiction.
This is about procrastination of getting clean. Ah just another hit. Tomorrow I’ll get clean. I promise. And the cycle goes around again. In the meanwhile, let’s have another beer.
Abuse, Depression, Suicide. A lot the older songs James wrote too. Kinda funny how Metallica won me over with just the music side of it when I was younger (I'm a guitar player), I understood the lyrics, but I just didn't actually "feel" them. Now in my early 30s I've been to a psych ward, rehab, abused a handful of substances, ODd, made mistakes, life experience, etc and going back to Metallica now I can empathize much more with the hell James lived through, and I'm worried about his mental state, as he's going through a divorce and shit. He opened up to a crowd about his depression not too long ago. Hope he's ok and knows he's made a positive impact in a lot of people's lives.
@@MrMOGHammer 🍺🍺🍺cheers til tomorrow...then I'm done!🤘
@@L3ONARDO07 Sounds like you’re like me. Metallica literally evolved in sync with my life. Right before this album was announced, I started doing serious work toward processing my childhood. Before St. Anger came out, I was in the throes of my own anger issues. Before Death Magnetic, I was very preoccupied with death. It’s pretty fucking crazy.
Metallica plagiando a Metallica, una vez más 😂
Metallica da 🐐

This whole album is amazing. James voice is better than ever. Whoever produced this did an excellent job with the sound
I think it's the same guy, Greg Fidelman; he's still annoying me. The sound is the best since ReLoad, but while no longer clipping, it's still brickwalled. I feel like Lux Aeterna is the only song with a bit of room for the reverb, which that song seems to have a lot of. I got back to Lightning or Muppets or Load to hear the breathing room.
Over produced in my opinion
At least he is isn’t doing the squealing in this song.
Thanks to Bob Rock’s influence, I think since “The Black Album,” he’s tried too hard and got pretty cheesy.
He’s much better when he just sings as himself and doesn’t try to add all of the “artifacts” in like squeals, et cetera.
@@staygold902 everything they’ve done has been over-produced since “the black album.”
They, clearly, were more concerned with radio play and profits.
Most of the other “big four” bands have stayed fairly true to themselves.
But, then again, maybe James and Lars are staying true to themselves. Maybe their political awareness and desire for complexity was just a phase. Maybe they changed and no longer care about the state of the nation, the state of the people, the death of democracy, the ravages of war.
Maybe now, they just want to write music that is simple to play and people can shake their booties to it.
However, I will give them respect for this song. It’s got a dark feel.
I’ve got to give some respect. Metallica had a little an influence on me when I started writing thrash metal and playing in bands.
Although, admittedly, I was MORE (musically) influenced Hexanhaus, Overkill and Death Angel.
Jame’s vocal style definitely (originally) influenced my style.
I just wish they would care about social issues, again. They have the power to influence people, wake them the f… up.
But, I guess, once some people become wealthy, they become detached from the struggles of people who are less affluent. I guess they no longer care about service members who get used like pawns in illegal wars.
I cared, in my teens. I joined (for financial reasons). I served in an illegal invasion. So, my level of care about corruption only increased with age.
I just wish Jame’s still cared about service members, and other who struggle.
He used to care about freedom and had a dislike for corruption. I wish he still would.
I can't stand the kick...it sound awful and I am amazed these takes are the golden ones by Lars...holy sh*t.
But agree with other it sound brickwalled and just flat boring. Was expecting more..
We are blessed to live in an age when Metallica is still making music
@@sepulmattica7649 Yeah man I heard that same eye of the beholder riff (And Justice for All) was an amazing album 💿
All of yall are right and dadgum skippy too!!!!🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻
I was blessed I got to see them in Concert. It was in Birmingham, Alabama 2019 at the BJCC. Their first concert at the venue since 1992, I think
@@hammy_bottoms my first show was in Oklahoma City when the black album was released. Fucking old school. Amazing that they’re still coming out with new songs. 🤟🤟🤟
Let’s make this song #1 it deserves it!! It’s such a banger🤘🏼Metallica rules!!!
You can really feel James' pain in the lyrics. Bless him for channeling it through the power of Metallica through all these years for us to connect with, we're with you Brother!
yeah it must be painful being worth $100+ million dollars.
@@foodini666 he literally just got a divorce
@@foodini666 would you rather him take out his depression like this or not be around anymore?
I don't feel anything. Song is ok i quess, but nothing special.
@@foodini666 anyone can go thru depression. That's an idiotic thing to say
If darkness had a son , he'd feckin love this tune 💣
First heard Metallica in '86. I was 12. Now approaching 50, there has only been one constant in this crazy, messed up world. Tallica for life!
🤘💥🤘
I would agree had they made this album after Garage Inc., for the weak stuff in between haven't been a constant to me in between. With that said, great they are back in business.
I’m 48 , first got into Metallica in ‘86 also 🤘🤘
SO u must be 49 too that's when I first heard them, everyone was skateboarding and shit
Man seeing them in the 80s would have been insane
I’m not a perfect parent - far from it, in fact - but when I cranked this song in the car and my 5 year-old daughter asked “Daddy, is this Metallica??” it damn near brought tears to my eyes. Proof that I did SOMETHING right in this whole parenting thing!
Took my kiddo to see Metallica live when he was 10. He is 22 now and they are his favourite band . \\m// *5s Dads
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK ANY DAY WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END DAYS)! TIME IS ALMOST UP! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM, ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOU! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART & LIFE, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
My 2 year did the happy dance to the new tune, and made me 1 proud Daddy!
Nice
OMG I love that its brilliant!!! I used to have same responses from my kidd at that age and thought YESSS like you 😉 Now they thank me I instilled in them not just their love of rock and heavy metal but music in generalWell done I say and super 5 year old Cool kid Rock on x❤
The duets they made was the perfect reveal for this new song, love you Metallica! 🤘🤘
It all makes sense now. haha Also super cool to see how their Covid creations came together over Video calls.
Holy crap yeah
Most definitely
Duets? What do you mean?
Lars drum sounds oldscool
42 years still going strong! Metallica is the greatest of all time in heavy metal
Metallica will always be the heart and soul of metal to me. Been a fan for 35 years
Same here dude, 1988 AJFA. Been in my heart ever since. I believe I totally get what they're about. Most of the negative comments come from people who barely know them.
same here, Since RTL when I was 11 years old... but justice is my all time favourite. This track is killer, looking forward to the new release.
Most negatives comments come from unhappy people who don't have a life, they just want a reaction, I block that all out and just crank the volume louder. I'm 51 now, and it's crazy how I can still see me and my buddies in the mosh pit making our way to front row. That was during the And justice for all tour. We made it to the first row and it was the coolest thing to experience. Everyone should ride the lightning and not everyone's ass about nothing.
@@viperbites7274 Negative comments come from people who don't like the new songs, there is nothing wrong with that, they are allowed to express any emotion or opinion they have about the songs.
Music is completely subjective, you can't force yourself to like something if you don't. I personally like all the new songs, but I didn't like DM or HTSD. In my opinion, people can be as negative as they like, it never bothers me, it doesn't change my enjoyment of the music I like.
Ok?
Metallica is one of the few bands that can chug in standard tuning and still sound heavy
I argue that it's the thing that got them to where they are now
behold the right hand of god james hetfield
Some songs are even in higher key like F# (2nd fret), A (A open string) and B (A string 2nd fret) but they are still heavy as fuck. It's all about how they play it, the arrangements, the instrumentation and the progression...
Metallica still defines metal for me, there are many better bands but I still use Metallica as standard.
@@helluzionentertainment9429 Screaming Suicide is in F# crazy
This is not standard tuning at all.
First time I listened Metallica I was 12, I loved this band since then, I’m 44 now, love them forever.
Same here
From my 12 years only i am 45 😅
I was 12 too BUT in 83'" Metallica "Kill Em All" poster on my bedroom door.
Já som ju počúval prvý krát, keď mi bolo 26 rokov, teraz mám 66 rokov a tiež ich stále milujem
I'm 48
I was 15 and now i am 51,still listen Metallica....
All the respect in the world for these men to produce this album after all of their success the last 30 years. Fantastic music...
40 years actually. Not being a dick. Just saying they have been blessing us for 40 years. Since 1983 Can you believe that? Crazy I tell ya! Best ban ever!
Thank you Metallica for helping me get through 40 yrs of my life. For putting into words & music what I think, feel & experience through my journey in this physical world.
Same here.
A mis casi 50 puedo decir lo mismo. Y vamos por muchas experiencias más compartidas . ❤️ Aguante la familia Metallica. 🤘
great! now shut up and end it all!
It’s been almost 30 years for me! 🤘🏼
They have an undeniable legacy.
The eye of son that should not be. This song is so dope!
This is one of the most bad ass openings to any Metallica song! Very reminiscent of And Justice For All... and Eyes of the Beholder/Shortest Straw/Blackened with a touch of Wherever I May Roam. Still it kicks major ass and never fails to fire me up!
Eyes of the beholder was first thing that came to mind..Like it
As a 21 year old guy I am really glad that I grew up listening to this music thanks to my parents.
Same! Cheers
Same, 25 this year
My kids grew up with me blasting it all through out the house. Now this is what they listen to. My wife hates it. lol.
Me too.
22 same here also thanks to guitar hero
James is really singing his heart out on this track, feels good to see Metallica still having fun making music and making bangers. I'm excited for this upcoming album.
sabes cuántos sencillos va a tener el álbum?
Yeah and all it took was James getting a divorce and giving 1/2 to her.
James ain't a singer that is part of the reason metallica has sucked for the last 3 decades and they have terrible drummer Lars sucks for the last 3 decades don't help either but I will give props this is 1 of there best songs and Lars has sounded his best in 30 years just stop trying to sing James and get back to them angry vocals
It's been over 35 years since they had a good song they could of had 1 just stop trying to sing
Get back to being angry
@@mikeyekich392 whatever they did to get Master Of Puppets they need to get back to that.
@@Charlie_B. shhhittt that will do it

@@michaeld102175 what do you like about it?
@@user-dz9yx3et9yMe personally it's the lyrics and James that does it for me. The riffs are awesome sure, but this might be some of James best lyrical writing in a while just due to the pure emotion you can feel went into them
@@dubjubs There is no riff and the singing sounds strained... I love Metallica but to be real this is garbage
This marks the first album my dad will ever miss.. he was the only person I knew that loved Metallica more than I do, he would've lost his mind over this new release, wish I could be listening to this with the ol' man, this kicks ass
❤
So sorry for your loss… 🤘🏼🫶🏻
Super sad. Sorry to hear you lost your old man
You take this song to him and play it for him good luck
Stay strong my friend ❤
Metallica still does it for me. I'm 60 and still rocking out. I will till I die. You can't kill metalheads, you will only piss them off.
So true!!!I agree 100%!!!
My favorite track from this album till this day.
Yes.
Samw
same
That intro, the vocals, the chorus, its just so good! I dont get the hate
Glad I'm not alone... it's definitely the best one.
No clue how Metallica can write a 7 minute song that feels like it lasts 3 minutes. Time flies when you're having fun :D 🤘🤘🤘
I thought it's a lot longer than it should've been
Brilliance
@@LageTH-cam classic contemprorary Metallica
@@LageTH-camnothing will ever compare to St. Anger. As much as I liked that album, a lot of the songs are just long to be long.
It sure felt like a quick 7 minutes.
Everytime James goes through depression and hard times , Metallica comes out of it with masterpieces
St anger

@Bryan Mack he went through a lot of rehabilitation recently if I remember correctly, think that's what he's talking about
Metallica is timeless , this new album could have come out in any decade. Very powerful stuff ...
Best metal band ever. makes me hyped up, you guys always remind me to keep going in life and not to quit.
Lots of eye of the beholder vibes, great song!
I was thinking the same thing! Eye of the Beholder years down the line
I feel also little bit of Slither vibes
@@lupusmortis666 yea that too
And Now that we’re dead
Interesting that they're being influenced by their less popular songs, a bit like the singing style of Dream No More was influenced by the Load-era
This song has some solid chops. I love that after 40 years Metallica can observe simplicity in music and show that it doesn’t always have to be a shredder to be a good song! Hard hitting, meaningful music here man! Love it!
Sandwich
Couldnt agree more 🤘
Did not expect to see you here ngl
Still is a shredder song
They haven't done shredder in years...I miss thrash Metallica...this isn't bad more similar to the black album style
THIS is the Metallica I love! One of the 4 songs that will probably remain in my memory from 72.
The memory remains 😉
@@codebreaker91 😉
What are the others?
@@TheGardiner Sleepwalk, Screaming, Shadows
Same here! Was getting Load and Reload vibes, i personally loved both.
This song just screams badass in every way possible. The riff is beautiful. Damnit Metallica we missed you! This album beats their last two for me already...
My favorite song on this whole album. Its so good. I bet if they made this album 37 years ago they would get more love for this album.
Metallica will never die.
🤔 thats a thrue fact
We’ll never stop we’ll never quit cause we’re Metallica
Never will die
Constipation! Constipation!
If they move out of the States this year, they might survive after the nuke war.
My mom of all people took me to see Metallica twice and it was nothing short of incredible both times. She passed away this last year but I’m thankful I got to share those memories with her. I know she would have loved the new album 🤘🏻
Metallica will always be the GOATS for me!
You’re mom sounds like she was really cool. Sorry for your loss.
How you and your mum are with Metallica, is me and my dad with Pink Floyd. What an epic relationship! May she rest in peace
Rock on forever!
I'm sorry for the loss of your dear mother, my she rest in peace, it's a blessing to have wonderful memories of the times you shared. ❤️
dude that is awesome. i feel your loss. i lost my mom 3 years ago still aint over it.
Best song of the album for me, I don't know if I'm the only one, but it makes me miss them and reminds me of seeing them live most.
I feel the same and i agree.
This one did not grow on me the first few times, but then I listened to it live on the show in Amsterdam last April and I have been hooked ever since. I yelled "TEMPTATION" until my lungs were out.
It’s like the song temptation he tried to write during St. Anger but he and the band just weren’t in the right place at the time to make it sound how it needed to. I love this. 🤘🏻
The last lyric of this song is from the original Temptation
@@kidnamedalaska the lyrics have similarities. If Darkness Had a Son "Temptation, leave me be", Temptation "Leave me alone temptation".
St. Anger as a song is a banger, despite what others might say about the whole album (I think there's a few solid ones on there 🤷)
ABSOLUTELY NAILED THIS ALBUM
Metallica is here to save us
Another banger, guys. Just wish my dad was still around to hear the new album.
He'll be with you on first listen, you can count on that.
Oh he hears it! Metallica plays loud enough for him to hear wherever he is!
He hears it brother. Crank that shit and blast it to the heavens
many people have been metalica fans for years i understand why this may be the best rock music i ever heard!
For me, this is one of the most powerful Metallica albums since the Black Album.
Black was the END of their powerful days…
@@missymyers9786 I know everyday “FANS” feel that way but us musicians and producers can appreciate how amazing the songwriting and mix were on the Black Album. Flawless
Out of their now three new songs, this one is easily my favorite.
Same
Screaming suicide
Agreed. The other two did nothing for me but they are still my favorite band since 1996. Always solid music even if it is not blow your mind music.
That’s always a good sign for a great album.different favorites.keeps getting better all killer no filler
@@zombiecharger65 i couldnt agree more with ya, dude
I personally also enjoyed the other singles from this album so far tho
🤘
This track really hit the spot.
I've never been this excited for an upcoming Metallica album within the 21st century.
I'm hyped up after this song big time. I've never been this hyped after a new Metallica song. I'm drooling in anticipation of April 14th!
This has got a AJFA feel to it and james voice is awesome.pure awesomeness!
Yes sir you are right, i love Justice.
I think I found my favorite song of this album...
While this might not be my favorite incarnation of Metallica, I'm just hella glad they're still making music!

James had been working on this lyric idea since St. Anger! It was called Temptation back then. This is killer!
yup and Burstain said after listening to demo that they have to delete that XD
Yeah, I remember from Some Kind of Monster, you called it!!!
First thing I thought of too.
Laid the foundation for this song when he was on a hunting trip in Russia I believe
Looks Like James he finally bring this song but of course with different lyrics

@@metalmacabre9991 something funny??
Singer James Hetfield deserves admiration for writing a song exposing his struggle with addiction, as a human. We all have flaws, brave people admit them, talk about them and overcome them.
Lots of musicians do this…
Every song I've ever lyrically wrote with the exception of maybe 3 are ALL about my addiction issues etc.. lots of my favorite bands also write that way
He's written several songs about it
Sweet Amber!
The whole album is incredibly honest and well-written from a lyrical point of view. Musically, it's a masterpiece. HUGE respect for James, he is very brave in the way he exposes his inner turmoil to the World the way he does.
It should be illegal for a song to kick this much ass
A 7-minute single that doesn't get boring. I'm all for that.
wow i'm 3/4 through it when I read your comment. I didn't even notice.
That’s Inquisition Symphony haha
It was very impressive that he took really good care of his voice since he is pushing 60. Love the new music
Yes his voice never change
Awesome for a smoker
@@laurieleiann904 What? He smokes?
It's the best it's been in decades too!

I kinda knew about Metallica but didn’t really know their work until this past weekend when I saw them not once but twice with my metalhead husband. This is the song that made me their fan and now I am catching up on the past however many years they have been around. My goodness! What a band! 🔥
Welcome to the family. 🤘
@natisha-welcome to the party. My experience was the same. I knew of the group but didn't know their stuff. A friend played a song from the black album and I've been rocking with them ever since. That album is loaded with good shit. Give it a listen 🤘🏾
Good Night. A amazing song. Metallica is a monster of Rock
Being one of the first people in the world to listen to Metallica song is a dream that I finally got to realize. Hearing a Metallica song for a first time will always a special moment for me. Thanks 'Tallica!
No disrespect but you got to aim higher lmao
@@naxedgt2053 I know what you mean, bro. And I agree. But sometimes, it's the small things that make you appreciate life!
That’s how I felt listening to Kill ‘Em All and Ride the lightning, back in the early 1980’s
@@ahmedsaoudi2344I kinda relate to this.
@@naxedgt2053Maybe that was his high? It definitely was one of mine seeing them in 2018 lol
As a 47 year old I have been a Metallica fan since ...And Justice For All and they are still the best Metal Band of all time.
Am with you brother....
Trash sound . This sound only radio lover sound. I hate Load and reload albüm sound . This is not Metallica
@ You do not know good music. Go somewhere else, you are not wanted here
Me too. I am 48, my first Metallica gig was the Justice for all tour. Amazing.
@@simonnorthcott6307 mine was in the year 1992 the black album
I've turned 27 three days ago, beeing Metallica fan since my twelfths. Stuff that happend within this 15 years could wrote a good book, as I think all of us could say and relate. Whats more important, is, that within this 15 years I've been switching through Metallica albums and always found something thats covered my feelings. And now, beeing mature, beeing in control of my feelings and life, They drop this album and once again, I'm feeling so related.
You've done it so fkin well, just thank You 😍
Lars' kit sounds so crisp. It's amazing how such a basic drum beat can sound so powerful
i’m starting to see the whole concept behind 72 seasons after this video. they’re going through all of their history of all their music styles over the years and compiling it into one album. hence, why this song sounds similar to some of their earlier tracks.
This whole album is going to be one legendary story and I cannot wait.
HTSD went on that way...
it’s honestly got a black album vibe. if this was tuned to d standard it would be crazy
It’s probably a final salute before retiring. Lars bringing back his iconic drum kit, songs that are clearly inspired from their back catalogue. It’s been a good ride
This song sounds like Load and Reload albums, which is not a bad thing.
This song seems like a mix of Justice for all and Black album.
i was born in august of '82 metallica has been with me my whole life. i dont cry when celebrities die but i will cry the day james hetfield leaves us
Wow shut up unnecessary
Hé will never pass away man.
He'll live with us in ours Heart and soul forever and ever. Believe me.😊
@@brunoleclercq9138 And if you want to live forever, then first you must dieee 🤘🏻🤘🏻
he ll never die. he is always in fan hearts. like Metallica
Hetfield won't die. He'll blow the last of his metallic potency in a crackling explosion of energy like some kind of dying star.
I’m absolutely ADDICTED to this song
When the door of metal world opened for me!!!
Started listening to Metallica as a teen in the 80s & here I am STILL listening after many concerts & several speeding tickets.
Thanks brothers!
🤘😊🤘
Scott, are you thanking them for the speeding tickets? If so, I love your positive perspective! It's good to have PrePaidLegal or similar service to get them reduced to impeding traffic fine only with no points. :) (I'm not a PPL rep; just letting you know as they've saved me lots of $ in insurance premiums over the past decade.)
Me too. Fell in love with there music when master dropped. First album I heard from Metallica.
I'm just glad we are getting more music because this could truly be it guys. This could be the last Metallica album we receive. I will soak it in and take it for all it's worth.
So true, and so far it doesn’t sound bad at all! After St. Anger none of their stuff really hit me as hard but this is doing it for me. This would be a good last album I think
Don't write their obituary yet!!! They aren't done
@@stepitupandgo67 72x2 = 144, if they dont become disabled because of their age, hopefully 144 seasons will be their last album
@@stepitupandgo67 Hope not 💕 We still need them 🤗
It would be great if if would be the last. They have NOTHING to say, lyrics and music-wise.
They rock!!! I'm 75 and I can't get enough! Best thrash ever!😂❤
Best metal band on the planet hands down❤
Not really
🤘🤘🤘
Sup soup
Ayo soup!
Hello Soup!
Hell yeah Soup!
I got a question what kind of soup are you?
I was 11 in 1988 when I heard very first ever Metallica...now 2023 and I still love you guys! METALLICA FOREVER🤘🤘
Me too..... 11 in 88 and first heard Metallica.
I was in 8th grade in 87 and a buddy gave me a cassette of Puppets to listen to. Been a Metallica fan ever since. Seen them live 7times and have every album on vinyl plus tons of live shows. They are true legends in my eyes.
Favorite song on the Album
i'm 32 years i was listening metallica back in the day along side with tons of other bands, this old band i couldn't believe that they have made new albums and so on and yet they are even stronger than before, how's that even possible? Well one word might describe it: Metallica.
This is the perfect tempo for a Metallica song.
I love the guys when they go heavy and mid paced.
It’s just good to see these dudes alive and well, making music. James’ voice is in very good shape, too.
You know in all my 49 years i have attended 30 years worth of Chicago Bears games, concerts too numerous to list....yet somehow my all time favorite band Metallica i have never experienced live😭
Best song of the Album.
The real Metallica fans here knew exactly where that "Temptation" came from lol. Well done! I'm so excited for this album!
“He left the focking band”
where?
When I heard "the unforgiven" in the lyrics a shiver has gone down my spine
why? it's just a word😂
@@SmileMF267 words can be very powerful
Cause u are gay mate..
Great Metallica of 2000's
This feels like the spiritual successor to the “Temptation” demo from the early
St. Anger tapes. Incredible!
I was thinking that too!
yeah! the Precinto material
@@NikaG2012 presidio!
@@noskap jajajaja yeah yeah presidio! My bad kakaja
@@NikaG2012 I couldn’t place the name of it, thank you! The Presidio material was so dark and interesting, this definitely has that edge to it!
