  • I have absolutely LOVED my Metallica journey so far. Kirk keeping me insulated while I slowly listen to your suggestions has given me a really good baseline for what I'm imagining is such a deep and emotionally lyrical band. "Fade To Black" is another example of a cry to the skies in pain, and this performance once again gives me chills.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Metallica performing "Fade To Black" for the first time, live at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NB on Sept. 6th, 2018.

    James' lyrics are often about the fear of helplessness. Of being trapped and powerless to change one's situation. This is particularly true on Metallica's earliest albums, including this one. Whether it's war, drug/alcohol addiction, aging, or terminal depression, James Hetfield clearly fears loss of control over his life and freewill... and he articulates it rather poetically for a "dumb metal guy". Papa Het is severely underrated as a lyricist, IMHO.

    You can hear Cliff Burton’s influence as he was musically educated and loved classical music like Mozart and Beethoven. Orion is another example of this

    it's amazing how a song like this, about giving in to the pain, the sorrow, and ending it all has kept so many people, including myself, from actually ending it. It hits so emotionally and seems to say "it's okay, you aren't alone"

    If you haven’t listened to it yet, the studio recording of this song is incredible.

    I would say that "the unforgiven" is the natural one to come after this, metallica has too many masterpieces

    RIP Cliff Burton. He was the classical backbone of the best Metallica ever produced.

    I wish I could listen Fade to Black for the first time again

  • @kylie4568

    This song saved my life. I've had many depressive periods in my life, the last one ended over 5 years ago. I still can't get through Fade to Black without crying. 'Emptiness is filling me to the point of agony' is still the closest I have heard anyone come to accurately describing what a deep depression truly feels like.

    You have to realize these songs were written in the 80's when these guys were in their twenties. Their musicianship and lyrical content was phenomenal when thinking about the time they were at in their lives.

    If you liked Fade to Black, you’ll LOVE their song “Welcome Home(Sanitarium)”. It’s just like this song in that It also has mellow verses, heavy choruses, guitar solos, and etc. But in my personal opinion, it’s just overall better in an indescribable way. PLEASE check it out and you’ll see what I mean.

  • @rmgraves

    "I was me but now he's gone." In just a few words he really depicted how he really doesnt know who he is anymore by smoothly going from 1st person to 3rd person. Cleverly poetic.

    The studio version is definitely worth a listen. It's smoother and really sets the mood better. Kirk's solo in this song won him a spot on some magazines' "top x" lists.

    The classical music relationship with metal is why Cliff Burton was so important to the genre. All the other greats have their place in metal history, but 80s Metallica is just on another level, lyrically and compositionally.

  • @locustkllr

    On the album version, the song just fades out with this crushing tempo and Kirk never stops shredding and changing it up, you feel like he solo's right out into eternity.

    Nothing beats "old" Metallica. The emotional connection to the instruments, the vocals, the lyrics and the music in general.

    This is a sad suicide song that strangely helped me not feel so alone when I was suicidal and depressed 31 years ago. It's amazing hearing it now when I don't feel the same.

    This song saved my life in high school. I was bullied relentlessly and just wanted it to all be over. This was a song that just really helped me from that darkness and now, 32 years later I have 3 beautiful young kids and a great life.

    "Creeping Death" is proof of what kind of storytellers Metallica are. Powerful, pure metal, and tells the story of Moses and King Ramses II from the perspective of a third party.

  • @kathrync8632

    It is so fun to watch people outside the metal community discover the intricacy and musicality of the music. There is sooooo much more to it than people realize. \m/
