I'm 51, I grew up with Metallica, just the fact that after 40 years, the band I was listening in my teens is still puting a smile on my face with new release. I say hooray!
This is a solid single. Not blowing the doors off the room, but not bad in any way. A perfect example of first single leading to a new album, something good that gets you interested for what else they've got coming
I really feel like anything that would truly blow my mind probably wouldn't feel like Metallica.
They created such a sound that has been interated on and mixed, and so many iconic riffs that I don't think I can be wowed in the same way if I compare them to my newer favorite bands.
I think they could do more but it just wouldn't feel like them if they modern the style and type of riffs they play.
Well put
Eh, the solo's kinda bad. Otherwise I like it, it's like coming home to a familiar warm house. Shades of Kill 'em All which is a nice nostalgia hit.
Big fan of the hardwired album. High hopes for this new one.
Exactly what i thought. :)
Metallica is awesome!
You have to also remember these guys are roughly 60 years old and do it better than a lot of music released today!
'better than a lot of music released today" is a VERY subjective opinion 🤪
Ok boomer 😉. Only joking, I don't have any hate for Metallica, they used to be one of my favourite bands, but to suggest this basic motorhead rip-off blues pentatonic hard rock tune with a horribly sloppy solo is better than a lot of modern metal is pretty ignorant. Hell even their contemporaries like Megadeth, Testament and Flotsam & Jetsam have released albums in recent years that are way more creative musically and lyrically, better played, better produced and easily capable of competing with the new generation of thrash metal bands.
Absolutely!!
@@rosswhite5975 to be fair though, Metallica was ripping off Motörhead on Kill em All lol
@@jtwidmer6185 absolutely. When I heard this new song I said to a friend of mine that it's like they have gone back in time to just before Kill Em All, when they were basically copying Motorhead and Diamond Head. Maybe that's on purpose though, maybe they are wanting to get 'back to their roots' or something.
My feeling of this song is exactly what James himself said about it… it’s simple, straightforward, and driving. It’s indeed solid. Great rhythm riff, great tempo, cool solo, and awesome vocal delivery. No complaints at all. Great reaction my dude!!
The solo is trash though...
@@federicoinnocente in your opinion
@@federicoinnocente the solo feels trash because it feels like 2 or 3 solos are stiched together. No phrasing at all.
@@AmitSharma-kd7rj maybe, since his arthritis problem he can't.... just a thought.
@@AmitSharma-kd7rj maybe, since his arthritis problem he can't.... just a thought.
James has always been an absolute riff monster. These guys are still my favorite band since I was a kid and I'm like a kid when I hear new Metallica still.
Yep me too.
I always joke and say James wrote all the cool riffs and left nothing for the rest of us. Lol
Your comment on the solo is spot on. A French youtube guitar player (Florent Garcia) did a video on the solo with exactly the same comment : it's a "traditional" Hammett solo, that fit very well with the all "neo-traditional" direction the song clearly take. It's not the most technical (but still not "easy" and long enough for a 3 min song) and a bit dirty but...that's what Metallica solo are. This is THE Metallica sounds. You hear that solo outside of any context and people would go "Oh is that Metallica?"
Most people/CZcamsrs whining about Kirks solo are just jealous that their shit music isn't making it and they need someone to dump on.
It’s not even that it’s “Metallica” as much as this is practically a Judas Priest era of metal throwback and having a technically smooth solo would’ve been off.
I feel like a lot of the hate I've seen has also come from younger people that are solely into metalcore and deathcore that usually think the best solos are just sweeps and arpeggios. Don't get me wrong, not EVERY younger core fan thinks that, but it looks like a lot do.
@@TankTheTech You are right on the money with that.
@@TankTheTech add in a dash of “fuck, we can’t hate on Lars here, who’s the next option?”
The riffs gave me a "kill 'm all" "ride the lightning" vibe. When it first aired on radio over here I thought it was a early Metallica song I've never heard before. Until the singing kicked in, then I knew it was a brand new song and I really liked it.
Solid old school Metallica, hugely reminiscent of Kill 'Em All, and props to them for being able to keep that same vibe 40 years later at 60+ years old!
Reminds me of phantom lord a little bit
For me, what kills the 'old school' vibe is the lyrics. Ever since the black album their lyrics just don't interest me anymore. It feels like it's all pop lyrics and fluff written for the sole purpose of having something to sing over metal riffs. The instrumentation is solid, and feels more Megadeth-y (which makes sense if it reminds you of Kill 'Em All) than I would have predicted, but the lyrics just seem so shallow.
@@ericfisher4736 most bands writing is effected by the times so..yeah they aren't angry 20 year olds anymore 😂.
@@andrewcastillo9558 Which is an odd thing to say, given that their newer stuff sounds about as shallow as a pool where the 'deep' end is Five Finger Death Punch.
Go listen to the Puppets or Justice albums and tell me they sound more 'mature' now. They just sound old, like they don't want to put any effort into it anymore...
@@ericfisher4736 to each his own
I live a ten minute walk from where Cliff Burton played in his last concert
Agreed, Load and Reload are great! This is a great song, every time I hear it I smile, great reaction!
Thanks a lot Tank! Love ❤ this reaction video very much!! New album out tomorrow, can't wait! 😊
It's such a crazy solid rock out song. There's something about the drums and guitar combo here in this particular song just keeps you trudging on like you can take on the world.
Considering the guys are in their sixties and have been at it for 40 years, this is simply beautiful ❤️
It's straight up Speed Metal/NWOBHM. Judas Priest drumming with Diamondhead guitars/vocals
Best honest reaction ever
Been listening to Metallica since I was in high school and I’m 51 years old now. I love their evolution. Yeah some albums are stinkers but hey id rather listen to their new music and killing it live than other older bands who don’t make new music anymore and plays Vegas over and over. Much respect to them and I’ll be seeing them live in Jersey for the umteenth time! 🤘
@djfamily1972 I just watched Michael Noland's video, and he was just going through a list of great bands that have been touring, but haven't put out an album in 5+ years.
I was 15 when the Black Album came out. My sister bought it. I had never heard of them. From that day on Metallica has been my all time favorite band. And for me this song does not disappoint.
I liked it the first time I heard it, and I like it more the more I hear it.
Another old school touch is the fact that Lars looks to be using his old white with black hardware Granstar kit from the Black Album era...or at least a replica of it.
The song also has a big Kill 'Em All/Motorhead vibe.
So much 80`s vibe in this song. Both riffs and solo. Great song.
It is a good song. I haven't seen too many people talking about how it is a 3 minute song; which is amazing for Metallica.
Metallica is my all time favorite band, and I agree, song is super solid and I love it. Gave me old school Motorhead cover vibes. Glad you love it too.
This song made my 54 year old body go 20 again!! I loved it :D
same here
I honestly love this song, yes it's not Lorna Shore or Slipknot or Rammstein but the beautiful thing with music is, that it's different and this difference between bands makes it such an awesome thing.
Agree there. There is too much of the same stuff already just listen to the radio. Not that there is anything wrong with it or I say they are bad but it's just more of the same.
The last 2 Slipknot albums absolutely blew ass! Terrible.
@du_auch_da Ehm yeah, Metallica are Metallica after all. And not a other band you just named. Rammstein also always sounds like rammstein and it's always awesome no one's complaining lmao. And this song sounds like a Metallica song lol so I'm not complaining at all, it's a very solid track imo I'm stoked for what's coming next or for the whole album! :)
(and btw even then if a band changes or took some changes in there sound, most of the time I like it too. If its good it's good, so yeah. Like Linkin park back in the day or whatever, I loved it)
Slipknot bahaha 😂 what a joke they are now pathetic Jim has more talent in his pinky than the entire Slipknot band
Loved it. Total kill ‘em all vibes.
Really reminded me a bit of Diamond head and Saxon a bit too.
Its OK for me classic kill em all vibes
Agree with Motorhead sound
Thank you!! This is a fantastic track!!
Can’t wait for the album, damn right 🔥
This song slaps and it’s full speed!!
To me this was a better tribute to Motorhead than Murder One from the last album. Damn song is stuck in my head.
Good point! This has such heavy Mötorhead vibes, way more than their actual tribute to him. Kick ass.
Genuinely, I like this song a LOT more than most things Metallica has put out since before St. Anger.
Haters gona hate. Tons of love and respect for guys. Greatings 🤘 Tank
I've been waiting for this video after my second watching of the music video.
Thank you for your comment on the solo. I agree 100% that the solo fits the song perfectly and doesn't try to be this epic face melt for 2 mins where it over powers the whole song.
The solo is all over the place. Quite a mess.
This song gets you amped up and really positive vibes. Love it.
I missed them when they were touring their last album and I didn't want to miss them again so I decided to get a ticket to see them in 2024 and I'm super hyped
Honestly that guitar solo is absolutely bizarre and amazing. Kirk is such a phenomenal guitarist, and that solo was insane.
the people that say its a bad solo have never heard a great guitarist play such a powerful solo before. pretty sure most new "metal" bands dont even play solos but i may be wrong i dont listen to the new "metal" growl garbage bands.
fucking hate most new metal its so bad.
Wouldnt call it insane but it wasnt bad either
On the riding playlist for sure.
NICE REVIEW RIGHT THERE! The best one I`ve seen so far .
I’ve only subscribed to you a few months. That said in these few short months you’ve become one of my all time favorite content creators. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Pennsylvania!
Thanks a ton, Steven!
Tank's smile is one of the most wholesome things ever
You can tell that Motorhead have been a big influence here..
Big time MOTORHEAD FIRST CONCERT FOR ME NYC WHEN I WAS 13 1980 have 5TATS OF Motorhead 3of LEMMY KILMISTER SNAGGLETOOTH UNDER MY NECK AND MOTORHEAD NAME ON RIGHT SIDE OF MY FOREARM REST IN POWER LEMMY KILMISTER
i fucking love it !!!!!
It sounds fast and i love it
It's what passes for radio friendly now (even tho nobody listens to the radio these days) and sounds great for a punky rock sound. Cool.
No other bands evoke such a range of emotion and opinion like Metallica. I love Metallica. I have listened to this band since I was 14. I’m days away from being 39…so, 25 years. I’m just happy they’re still making music. I like the song. I’ll be buying the album. I won’t ever hate this band.
on point🤘
Actually someone sharing my opinion. YES Load and Reload are 2 bangers front to back!
When I first heard this tune the other night I was kinda torn, as far as my initial impression. Now a couple days have gone by and I have found myself repeatedly going back to listen to it, over and over. The chorus where James screams the song title is everything in this track. That and the kick drums. But just the way James climbs the ladder vocally to belt out the chorus is such an amazing hook.
This almost feels like a sorta power metal almost-but-not-quite Dokken-type vibe meets British new wave meets sped-up Load riffage meets a more polished version of Hit the Lights. It's gonna be a go-to live song (the lyrics kinda reflect that) and the song's energy and the boys' own energy are undeniable. I can't explain it, but all I know is my ear loves it.
I'm very happy Metallica is back with new tunes and I'm also very happy they kept the album under wraps so now it's arriving soon - to MY mind - rather than them announcing it 2 years out and then us playing the waiting game.
These old dogs can still hunt.
Agreed.. Awesome song definitely put a smile on my face 🤘
Been into Metallica since ca 1988. Many highs and many lows. This new single is 🔥🤘
You know what, if I had heard this on it's own I'd probably say "it's too basic", but Tank you bring up a good point, Metal has evolved so much that we now view something which was once completely revolutionary as basic. This is a solid song, and the hook has been stuck in my head since I first listened to it. Love em or hate em, you can't deny their influence or ability. So I'll crank it to 11 and make everyone listen to it with me! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
I love this song!
Great updated sound, It's perfect for what they needed to!! This will sell and attract a lot of new fans
Hello! Metallica suprise me. Spring coming and Metallica New album.
Its nice to step back and revisit some old school metal.
Indeed... that was solid.
Solid. Some classic sounds and throw backs. It sounds like Metallica and there's nothing wrong with that.
I wouldn't turn it off.
Very tight just the beginning hell yea Metallica
Love your honest reaction.
I think the whole beef about the solo is how people say Kirk isn't as good as he used to be, i personally like it and i don't think Kirk lost his ability to play or anything, it may not be the same level he was on earlier but then...its been 40 years, they are 60 years old and they evolve as people over time and so does their music with them.
this song is fantastic. the verses are awesome, like the instruments are powerful and james hetfield’s voice sounds astonishing! i am loving new Metallica!
I'm proud of the fellas. They're still in the game, and still got game.
🤘😎🤘
Great reaction totally agree with you on this 👏 🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟
woaah...really great song. Perfect for the car playlist in summer.
A little back to their roots with this one. looking forward to the album.
I love this freaking song..can't wait until the Los Angeles show.
i love this song. it gives such a happy vibe. and i will go to the tour in germany with my mom and godmother, who are both rock grannys love them both \m/
This new song ROCKS 🔥🤘
I got goosebumps like crazy on the beginning segment and you came in at the perfect time, and your reaction was mine almost to a tee. I think I qualify as a Metallica fan since before Kill 'em all, that I sense something different, new and improved, and it had to, music evolves with us because we make it and you can already tell by the incredible riffs there, that they have changed like we all do but the music is like a fine wine now so I think they will write some good stuff for a while and what I hear so far is refreshing. I dig it and will crank it fully in a few here.... I actually bought the Metal Blade compilation Metal Massacre because thats how I got allot of underground metal in the early 80's is a record full of a bunch of bands, we didn't have youtube yet...lol. I never heard of any of the bands before on it so it was new, and I remember sitting in my buddy Doug's room and we put it on the record player and when Metallica's Hit the lights came on, we had just finished smoking some killer yellow afghani bud so we had a good buzz and I specifically remember like it was yesterday listening deeply to it and Doug was just staring at the floor and I was standing up to the left of him and I said "This band is going to be huge!" and he looked up with that almost saggy faced stoned emotionless look and just shook his head yes real slow in total agreement and the look he gave me was so funny i busted out laughing and said, "are you stoned" and he stood and said "fuck yeah, I gotta some fresh air" and we laughed ans went outside and agreed it kicked our asses!
Everything you said here I agree with 1000%
Love your vids brotha, Subbed
Thanks!
I will be honest I didn't expect to like this song as much as I do. It's some old-school Thrash with a modern twist. and it's just a fun song to listen to. This song is going to be responsible for several speeding tickets.
You nailed it precisely! Short, sweet, and decent. :)
Love seeing them continue! Going to be a sad day when they hang it up. But at least we'll be left with tons of content and Memories!
You can hear the influence of Diamond Head and Blitzkrieg, it's right up their alley if you go back to Garage Inc this feels right at home with their old covers
My cousin and I loved Load and Reload too, as well as all the older ones, of course.
You're right about Lars and Kirk. This song is awesome. Reminds me old school stuff like kill em all
Is it Kirk's sickest solo? No. I do love the ol school met tie-ins. It's a solid song! Already pre-ordered and started saving for the tour! 🤘
Love the new sound, i loved hardwired! Great album, and this Will be great! Thanks tank 🤘🤘
may she live longer and make us happy
I want to listen that in my car!!!!
It is a good song and typical for Metallica. Not every song has to be the hardest ever seen.... a unique sound and different styles are important and exciting.
Your reaction and comments on the song are great.
Great review Tank. This song is a great throwback in my opinion- Kill Em All style riffs, great speed, fun drums. Even the lyrics “Full speed or nothing”is a line from Motorbreath. Am totally with you- based on this song I will likely get the new album and see them on tour (regular tickets- not the crazy priced VIP stuff).
Damn i like this! great sounding very much metallica. very pleasantly suprised. I definitly will be listening to it alot more.
Even lars is using his old white tama kit like back in the day I love that
I got the 2 day tix for MetLife stadium. I’m pretty pumped.
fucking great song, can't wait for the album to be released - it is going to be great!
The 2 day tickets went on sale here in Dallas last Friday. The cheapest ticket for way up in the top seats started at 180. Way to rich for my blood so I will be waiting for the single show tickets when they go on sale in January. I saw Metallica once way back in the 90's in San Diego and it was Korn and Metallica.
Damn, Metallica and Korn back then on the same show must have been KILLER.
so funny you were 4 when the black album came out I was 13yrs old when kill'em all came out lol! been a fan of metallica since the beginning! and the fact that they are still putting out some good music is awsome. I think this was a very solid song and I hope the rest of the album is as well.
"pre order based on that song" first single job done 👍 whole point of a perfect first single leaves you wanting more and wanting to dive in and see what else is awaiting come march 🔥🔥🔥
People are out of their minds, that guitar solo is awesome
They said they did all of this on the DL it's something they've never ever done before.
I like the song a lot
So far, this is the best reaction to this song.
Ditto on your Metallica relationship. My journey with them has been almost identical. Love your channel, I've always found it fun and insightful. Would love a reaction to Nita Strauss "The Wolf You Feed" featuring Alyssa White-Gluz
You nailed everything on the head with the reaction. It is a solid track that I went into it with no expectations. Im 43 and I started listening to them at age 10...in 1989. Ive had my Metallica years where they were my musical heroes. As time went on, I grew out of their sound and went my own way. I kept up with them for the most part. Anyway...this is a solid offering by them. Lars sounded good, James sounded as good, if not better than he has for years. Rob, well....he's Rob and always sounds tight AF. Great bass player. Kirk and that solo...it fit the song. It sounded simplistic, but the song was too..IMO. Overall, a straight forward song that has replayability. 8/10
wow
It's mental that they still, after all these years, can create songs like this. Let's here it for Mentallicaaaaaa!!!! Yeah. 😎😎😵🥴🙃
Solo is pure kill em all vibes, this is way better than I could have expected!
I was introduced to Metallica by my dad as well) He never really liked rock/metal music, but for some unknown reason he had Metallica's "...And Justice For All" album, and once it was playing in his car while we were on the road, I was blown away! Then I "stole" the cassette and listened to the album as soon as got my hands on my cassette player for weeks) Several years later he introduced me to Manowar)
Its a cool song in the vein of their old school songs \m/
Fucking good reaction. I totally agree!
