I won't be the only person to post this, but this song actually saved me from suicide when I was a teenager struggling with mental illness in the early 1990s. Back then, mental health wasn't taken seriously at all.
Yup, me too!
❤
I read a comment elsewhere that said the person in this song died thousands of times so the people listening that really needed it could live. It's powerful shit
@@corymariacher2604 I hadn't heard that before. That is really powerful and eloquent.
@@corymariacher2604he'll yeah! What a jam!
The ability Metallica have to convey emotion through their music is incredible, unmatched by just about any other group
The only other group that comes close to conveying emotion is Pink Floyd,in my opinion.
I still get goosebumps today and I’ve been listening since the 80’s. Lucky enough to see them twice. Both time phenomenal.
😊 Ditto to all of the above... 😈
seen them 8 times live now since 1984, impossible for others
Same here mate..and it not a flex but I saw them twice in one year.😂
They come to England...I'm there..🤟
Yeah I saw the from Master of puppets tour til the black album one of the best bands live ever❤
53 yo. Same feeling
This is my favorite Metallica song. Has been since I first heard it in about 1985. The deep lyrics, the killer riffs, the transition back and forth from mellow to heavy. This song just has it all.
Dal vivo poi è assurda!
THIS is the song i want when I die.
Just for fun, listen to War Pigs by Black Sabbath and compare it to this one. They are built the same. They sound very different but the changes and choice of where to go with the music are the same.
If you know this one in and out you will hear it. I had been listening to both these songs for years and one day I played them on guitar one after the other and discovered it. That was a very cool realization.
@@chrissibersky4617 I had never thought about that before. I can see that! Great observation. Cheers!
Damn I was 3-4 sadly I didn't hear of Metallica until I was 6 😆 my uncle who was only 12 introduced me to them and iron maiden. Been a fan ever since
This song was a big part of the reason why myself and many others are still around to enjoy it. Having suicide written in such an emotional manner shows just how impactful Metallica was in music.
I'm loving your journey friend. Can't wait to watch more of it! 🍻
you say it well, I am now in my mid 50s a suicide survivor and this gives me chills every time, it is truly powerful!
It saved my life. Back in the day, I'd tell people I was a Metallica fan and they'd laugh and say they were all idiots. Sorry, babies. Anyone who can write a song THIS deep is NOT stupid. So take your snickering and SHOVE IT! METALLICA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this guys needs to react to a tout le monde by megadeth now
My parents died to double murder/ suicide when I was 8. This was my suicide song throughout my childhood. Now, as a survivor and a father of 2 boys, and nearing 50, I look at this song as my suicide salvation. Metallica will Always be my greatest savior right behind God.
@styx53ocean I remember spending my last pennies on an "Up your ass" Metallica sticker as an adolescent! 😂
metallica - they create masterpieces...........
They used to anyway. Not so sure anymore.
Everything except St. Anger that whole album blows
@@andrewmalidore1237the only reason people have such distain for St. Anger is because it wasn't the music that anyone could have imagined Metallica would ever make. I'd bet that at laest 90% (or more) of the people that think St. Anger blows, would have a different opinion about it if they'd never heard any of Metallica's other albums so they weren't expecting a specific style, if they didn't know it was Metallica when they heard it, or if it was released by a different band.
@@gothicbagheera amen
My wife walked down the aisle to the opening instrumentals of this song and it will play at my funeral.
I've said it since the 80's
This is the greatest song ever written.
Yes, exactly. I had known the song for years. Then I watched the live videos of it. Since then, for me it has been the best song in the world, of all groups and all songs. It's unbeatable live
Sick!
I want it played at my funeral as well. At 20, I had a couple of extra traumas that almost did me in. My cousin kept checking on me through a locked door because Fade to Black was all I would listen to, and I wanted nothing to do with anything or anyone. The song didn't save me as many people say it has for them. I still take antidepressants. Too many people have to or they give up. They fade to black. 🖤
The reason I learnt guitar , literally. Should go for it
Ditto!
This song brings you to your knees, every note from the guitar makes you feel all the desperation and angst of a person who is in so much mental pain they just simply can't go on living anymore. This song makes you happy you're alive. This song saved me 35 years ago.
I was a teenager in the 80s when this song came out...I don't think anybody who isn't old enough to remember can realize just how huge Metallica was at one time...There was Michael Jackson with pop and then there was Metallica with Thrash Metal at that time and every other ofher band was trying to play catch up...many.came very close...but Metallic man....wish you were there to witness it
I remember my boy Lucas walking up with a Metallica shirt on and was like "what, you've never heard them? " Immediately the tape went in, 1984.
I grew up like you my first album and cassette were Metallica
It makes me cry sometimes for my long lost youth 😢 The album that turned me to metal. Thank you Metallica 🤘❤️🤘
Kill’em All and The Number Of the Beast by Maiden turned me to metal in the early 80’s. A french metal head 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@metalhead7840 Bonjour my French metal brother, I’m across the channel in England. 🤘🖤🤘
Greatest metal-ballad ever recorded…..unmatched…..and Kirk is playing his heart out in the otherworldly outtro solo 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘……imagine these guys were 21-22 when writing this craziness 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘…..geniuses….and; oh yes, subbed. Btw; Metallica’s greatest force is their live-performances….you have so many many many great Metallica-moments in front of you 🤘🤘🤘 ( look at my profile-photo where I stand next to Kirk Hammett in a Meet ‘n’ Greet 6 years ago
Lars Ulrich is knigthed. He was made a knight by the crown prince of Denmark. He is oficially "Ridder af Danebrog". (knight of the danish flag)
Disposable Heros. Powerful and deep. Plus, it's fucking heavy!!!!
Veterans Day I'd November 10th in the U.S. would be a great song to pay tribute to the vets all over the world
Metallica is good in expression just by music itself. I used to feel all the things from their songs without knowing English and far before I had an internet to get the lyrics and translation. Surely, after that I fell in love with them again)
I used to put on my headphones and listen to this song when I was 10 years old.
By far one of the best metal solos you will ever hear!
This song has kept me alive.
More than once.
I love that a younger generation is doing these kind of videos. Seeing you experience them for the first time brings me back to my younger days and the joy these songs brought to myself and millions of other people. Metallica is one of the best to do it, you heard there heavier songs with gut-busting drums and face melting guitars, but they also had the ballads they were just beautiful and hit ya in the fells. Enjoy, i know i am 👍
This song is a life saver. it helped me by showing/telling me that I'm not alone ROCK ON!
Your facial expressions multiply the feeling i get when listening to this.. incredible.
This song got me through many a dark night of my youth. ❤
The tone of that entire albm still kills almost 40 years later. Shit man, i was 14 when this album dropped. I still remember my first listen vividly. I screamed, laughed, sobbed...that whole ablum moved my soul. Welcome to the pit youngblood
I love watching reaction videos like this. You don't say much You don't need to I can see it in your face.
Early Metallica There is no such thing as a bad or even average song. The early stuff Is literally The greatest metal Music ever invented especially first 3 albums
Metallica are still gods of metal. No one can ever take that away. This song saved many peoples lives. The fading guitar solos by kirk are some of his best work. And how they keep going long after you think they would end which i think adds to the entire point of the song. Keep going.
PS- metallica is the reason many of us got a guitar.... me included. now i have 8 :)
This song helped save my life as a kid .
It’s helped save many peoples lives
James Hetfield wrote this song after his guitar amp was stolen. It was special to him because his late Mother gifted it to him and he was devastated. Check out "Creeping Death" Live in Moscow. It will blow you away. Make sure to have the lyrics pulled up.
Pretty sure it was all Kirks gear that was stolen that was the impetus for this song.
@@ilaser4064 Pretty sure you hearsay other's hearsay (: Their truck with all of their gear was hijacked and went into the horizon in Boston back in 1984. The only 2 pieces that fell out were Cliff's and Kirk's guitars.
I concur
@@ilaser4064
Right.
But his mother gave him that amp on his sixteenth birthday. And that was his last birthday she was alive.
So it was kinda sentimental to him.
Most people think this song is about suicide
Brother Metallica’s “Bleeding Me” is unbelievable!! They have a live acoustic version of it as well which is incredible!
Cheers from Texas🤙
My favorite Metallica song by a mile. Just an all-time classic
Goosebumps everytime I here this ...Welcome to the Metallica Family ....
And how old was James when he wrote this? 22....? 23....? Insane. The skills that that dude has had from Day One......
This was the 4th Metallica song I ever heard in my life, because when I bought Ride the Lightning on a whim, I just popped in the cassette and kept playing it. This was the final song on side one.
21😊
This is the song that made me a fan 30 years ago
When I remember seeing METALLICA t-shirts in school was mid 80's Jr high school, and it wasn't the metalheads, it was the SKATERS and PUNKS, lots of different "cliques" in the 80's
I still cannot believe this was ever made, man! I was born in 1986 and these guys, being unexperienced 19-20 y.o. dudes composed this masterpiece with all these guitars! This is just so sick, man!
James written that song after the theft of a Metallica's bus with equipment, after Metallica's first album they were still a small and not rich band, it was a loss of all their belongings and it caused such extreme emotions. Grettings from Poland 🤘
Youre the same age as ny son, and i have noticed your generation is really open minded to many generes and seem to be drawn to metal from the 80s and grunge from the 90s. Awesome video man!
One of Metallica's masterpieces, audible art. The lyrics are deep and impactful.This song saved people's lives, mine included. One of my favorite songs.
The whole ride the lightning album is 🔥. In my opinion their best album.
We all have our opinion mine will always be and justice for all
As a non metal fan this song was my first time listening to Metallica, Orion right after, of course i knew about them but never paid attention. Man these guys are beyond amazing the instrumental along seem to speak to you and take you places, definitely an experience!
Great to read!
this is one of my favorite songs from metallica, love your reaction
Metallica is the masters of transitions, they did it sooooo beautifully….their music is timeless!!!! Still sounds just as good today as it did in the 80’s-90’s
Yep. Along with Megadeth 🤘🏼
It’s pulled me out of the deepest dungeon. The whole black album will give you strength.
Jamming to this before school every morning back in the day. This song takes me back almost 40 years.
I got back from DESERT STORM and my Fiance left me for another guy. I wrote these lyrics to all my friends and family, NOT MY EX, and tried taking my life. But I'M STILL BREATHING, thank someone, NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED BEING BROKEN over n over.
Moscow live 1991 Metallica was awesome!!! Pantera was also there. This was when they were in their prime.
A little tidbit of info about the band's music. The Bass player on the first 3 albums, the phenom Cliff Burton, who died on the Masters tour, had a very LARGE part in playing and/or inspiring the riffs in the songs. You, not being a player, wouldn't immediately recognize that some of the riffs, especially on the instrumentals, were done on the Bass, not guitar. Cliff was elite in the metal realm.
unforgiven 1 - 2 - 3 listen to them all
I'm 48, and Metallica made me want to learn the guitar at age 15 or something. To this day I keep an electric guitar around pretty much just to play Metallica riffs.
Best Reaction Channel on YT.
When this came out i recorded the song over and over on both sides of a casette tape and would have friends over and we would sit in my room in the dark listening to it for hours.
This was the first Metallica song I ever heard, and it literally saved my life. To know that someone out there felt the same way I did made me feel not alone anymore, and I felt if he could continue, so could I. That was more than 25 years ago, and I'm finally getting to see them in concert this Sunday (Nov 5th.) It will be a life-long dream come true, and if they play this song, my life will be complete lol.
My son lost his best friend in a car accident and he listened to this song over and over and over. I am so thankful that he is still with me today. It could’ve been such a different outcome.
One of those songs that the meaning is more and more understandable the older you get
Fade to black is my favorite metallica song
Easily one of the best Metallica songs in their whole catalog. If you enjoyed this, I'm curious to see how you would enjoy something like Bleeding Me from Load. That album was NOT received well when it first came out, but I think it's aged incredibly well. I'd highly recommended giving Bleeding Me a listen.
I adore this song.
Try The call of Ktulu, same album and then No leaf clover with the symphonic of St. Francisco but from 1999
this is one of my absolutel FAVS of theirs
This takes me back to my high school years when I got deep into Metallica and eventually saw them live during the 1999 European tour. Watching this, all I could think was "Good for you, bruv". I'm genuinely happy for you. Listening to these songs for the first time is truly a memorable experience (at least, it was for me). Some songs might not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. Most songs get better the more you listen to them, as you start to pick up on some subtle things here and there. Thanks for sharing your experience. And yes, I think that the urge to grow long hair, a goatee, and learn how to play guitar are common side effects of listening to Metallica :)
Hi, love you bro! Welcome to the metallica family. I love your reactions beo! Fuck yeah! 💪🤟
This is my favorite song of all time.
"I was me but now he's gone" 😥
10:33 Do it. I was the same as you when I discovered this type of music. You’ll get so much life satisfaction out of learning guitar, especially with metal. I can tell you’d be make a great metal guitarist. As emotional as this song is, nothing can match describing your own emotions and even changing up some of these songs as an electric guitarist
1985 Day on the Green
Metallica
For whom the bell tolls live
Cliff Burtons opening bass solo is extreme mind-blowing
Fuck yeah. I posted a long list of suggestions under a previous video. Happy to do so again - or otherwise, honestly the best way to get into this band is listen to every album track by track from the beginning.
By far my favorite Metallica song, and its not even close
One of my favorites of theirs is Orion, which is one of their instrumentals.
I second this
Third
This was the song they started to play during the infamous 1992 Montreal concert where James was badly burned. That was the last time I saw them live...
We used to cover this song in my high school band, fun.
Creeping Death - Moscow, Four Horsemen, Battery, Blackened, Disposable Heros
At first glance I thought " OMG, will he be ready for this?"
This is my funeral song. I like seeing the younger generation get into OLD Metallica.
Back then they where just bunch of kids: 21 to 23 years old.... very, very deep song... genious!!!
You mentioned this making you want to learn guitar. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood, live at the El Macombo. You will see what's possible on guitar.
ANYTHING from that show is worth watching…
That fade out as it fades to black 😢
This just related to me so much when I heard it 25 years ago that it made me start playing guitar, joined a band, toured all over the U.S. Fade To Black was the very first song I learned how to play. I opened up so mane doors for me as a beginner
I’m so happy
Best Metallica song EVER! This is an epic masterpiece!
This music has the power to rewire your brain, your heart..your very perspective on life itself.
GREAT SONG, DEEP AF!!!
The instrumental outro = 2nd best guitar solo ever. Second only to the guitar solo outro on Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb Live at Pulse performance. 🤘🏼🎸
You may or may not find the information about one of the original members , DAVE MUSTAIN, who actually wrote a lot of these songs. Formed his own band MEGADETH !!!
He wrote a riff for the RTL title track, that was changed a bit, and he wrote the opening riff for Call of Kutulu. He didn't write entire songs, or even close, on this album. Not taking a single thing away from Mr. Mustaine, obviously.
Fade to Black is one of my all time favorite songs. I love that Metallica songs have a lot if changes in them, yet the changes all work together. Here's another great Metallica song to try: No Leaf Clover. It was written specifically for the S&M album. This album included the San Francisco Orchestra and the song was written for this arrangement.
New subscriber here. Loved the react. You said "if you know of any other Metallica songs" and I laughed. Pick one. Literally. Off their 1st 5 albums. Pick. Any. Song. WIN! Lol.
Here's another must- listen: a band called Queensryche. Check out "Silent Lucidity", and especially their 1984 Tokyo video of "Take Hold of the Flame" Enjoy!
Agree re: Queensryche!
I don't know if you are a metalhead... But you are definitely a metalsoul 😉
it's nice to see a young individual starting to pray to the metal ;)
Discovering something that resonates with you may change your life
i love this album. yet its 4th on my list of their first 4 albums. for me, justice #1, master #2, kill #3 and ride #4
When you see them live, their music is not old. It is amazing. Saw so many people way younger jamming and I am 50
All nightmare long live in Mexico City, no deep meaning but watching them play live is amazing
One of my favorite Metallica songs!
Just wait until you hear the similarities with Unforgiven 1,2 and 3.
Mind blown
Someone posted a CZcams vid with all three of those in order.
If I could, I would like to totally lose my memory for one day, listen to my "best of" list of songs, and feel like when I did the very first time...
Then get my memory back!
This is the only song that I can remember the first time I heard it and the feeling I had. It was during the mandatory metallica segment every week night at 10 pm here in Atlanta. Can't remember if it was 96 rock or 99x, but I was in bed half asleep with the radio on. I popped up, turned the light on, and continued listening. I sweat to god, but I called the radio station, which I did often then, and asked what the name of the song was. This was before Napster or mp3, and the only place I could buy cassettes was walmart or Kmart. Needless to say this was the beginning of a lifestyle for me. Cheers everyone.
Thank you for reviewing this. As I said in my comment in your One reaction, this Live is exceptional. In a personal note as I also mentioned in the other reaction, this song helped to save lives. Just knowing someone else is going through what you are helps. Great reaction. Keep it up.
This is just is a masterpiece as well 🤘🤘🤘
Heavy Metal was never a boring Music
Love your reaction to this.
this song used to freak my parents out, back in the mid 80s
Great reaction video, enjoyed that! "Makes me want to learn the guitar". Please do so, you will enjoy it!
