an entire stadium screaming "temptation" I can already imagine

Classic era meets Load. Totally digging it.

It took a few spins, but I love it now. It might not be thrashy, but at this stage in their career they don’t need to do that. They’re doing what they want and are sticking the landing. I’m thoroughly impressed and can’t wait for the album to drop.

They didn’t lose me for a second in this over 6 minute song. Not a huge Metallica fan but I’m just taken by this track. Have watch a ton of reactions enjoying everyone digging it. Your analysis is the best. You nailed the whole synopisis.

Metallica never goes out of style...they age like a fine wine👹☠️

Jaymz has a history of using song titles as lyrics he uses the line Fade to Black in the Memory Remains . I'm hearing this song for the first time today , very happy to already have your reaction I love the concept of the album it does have an old school vibe, but that goes with the 72 seasons title that's the first 18 years "right about the time Metallica formed in 83. and they are paying homage to the sounds that inspired them .

Metallica kicks butt. Always has.

Wicked riffs, drums, everything

This is my favorite song on 72 seasons 🤘

There is a reason why Metallica is considered the foremost band in metal...because they evolved. A lot of "original" fans (and I am an original fan...yes, I'm that old, lol) just didn't (evolve). I hear some of the chugginess of their original sound, but I also hear elements from their Load and Reload period in this. It feels like an amalgamation of many of their sounds over the years, almost like they have found a groove. I'm loving it. They are timeless, and continue to prove it. Quirk (Kirk) isn't quite as precise or nimble as he once was (and who is at that age? And I only say "that" instead of our because they are on average about 8-10 years older than me), but he still manages to shred an awesome solo that fits the material. They are playing within themselves, and still producing relatable material. As for Lars...look, I've heard all of the criticism and denigrating of his technical skill, but I've never bought into it. The drums don't lead the song...they only drive it. In Metallica's music, the guitars and the lyrics have always taken the lead, and the drums and bass are an essential accompinent. They have an important role to play, but they aren't center-stage. They stay within their lane and don't try to upstage what the band wants you to hear. In that, I have always felt Lars has been perfectly suited to his role (musically), and can find no fault there.

I like that Metallica is incorporating older sounds from past album's on to new music that way Metallica fans of all ages can enjoy their music. Yes they are a long ways away from the thrash days of the 80's but they still rock.

I was head-banging in unison with u and enjoying u smiling as u caught different little bits of it as it was unfolding.... Makes me happy to see someone young like u that gets it!! Similar faces and reactions the first time my best friend and I listened to "...And Justice For All" cassette back in '88 when it came out. We proceeded to wear out and replace several of those....in short order over next 6 months on REPEAT (actually on constant play-and-flip...lol). U are very astute and picked up on the little nuggets of the song that would be only noticed by the seasoned Metallica fan. I am impressed!! Keep chuggin'!! Rock on!! Metallica.....AND u!!! 😃🤘🤘🤘

It's awesome. They have evolved in the time we are in. Heavy songs different sound amongst other bands that choose the same stuff they played 30 years ago. Go Mighty METALLICA. Live on.

Hell yeah! 🤟🏻🤟🏻. I feel it and i like it. Gonna see them twice in Amsterdam in april.

Thanks for your reaction. 👍🤟

My interpretation of the song is since James grew up in a very religious household as a child and since this album will focus on the first 18 years of one’s life it kinda makes sense

This song came out on my birthday so it was definitely a nice birthday present 🎉 Metallica ages like fine wine 🤘🤘

I think all bands should do whatever they want. The interesting thing about Metallica is that they are ever changing. You can hear them switching ideas up. I may not always like the result, but I love that they don't settle. I don't know if that's a product of just trying to be relevant, or if they are genuinely searching. I think it's a mix of both, with an emphasis on searching.

At first this song didn't blow me away... then I found myself, in my head, singing "HERE I AAAAM" and needed to hear it again.

Nice reaction. AYE Metallica should definitely carry on. Love this song 🤘🔥

Great reaction. When I was young, this was obscure.

That bass sounds sick, with James doing his chugging, Good lord, can any one say kirk went back to Master, and mixed And Justice albums for that solo. I love this song🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

They still got it, might as well keep riding that wave

so fun to watch good reaction =)

Metallica hasn't lost their style and still bringing out head bangers. Definitely check out *Elysion* new song "Crossing Over" 🖤🤘

a masterpiece of a killer record i dig it

Some OTHER reactors were complaining the Intro was ( TO Long ! ) , my response was Metallica is known for their LONG Intros and they Sing in 3 Languages, 1) The Music is its own Lyrics, 2) The Lyrics of the Song, 3) 1 & 2 combined equal a 3rd Language. you can listen to each part by its self or mix and match.

James had this lyric idea since St. Anger! Temptation was the song.

This song is amazing live!

A great listening! I liked this one the most out of the 3. I mean, I wasn't a fan of the other 2 :) but I really appreciate the risks they took with this, and the fact that they paid off. Great lyrics, awesome chorus. Smooth transitions. The solo didn't change the tempo in preparation for a much wanted, "super thrash fun time"... but I don't think that thrashing would've added to the intention behind the song. So I'm very happy with it.

Best Metallica song in a wile, great reaction BTW, greetings from Ireland.

OMG I just listened for this the first time with YOUR reaction! If I remember correctly, I was just telling you how much you will love Eye of the Beholder from the Justice album. This RAW riff in a way reminds me of the beginning of that song when the guitars all kick in. WOW! I loved this!!! My favorite so far off this new album. Great job again!

James wrote this thinking about a beer

I so love your reaction to metal, cause I know from listening to metal for over 40 years now that it's addictive...and I can see you are becoming a metal junkie like me lol.....

Hell yeah!

Love this song ❤ best one so far off this album 💿

Wait a minute.... WHAT? Lars Ulrich's drumming on "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets" is among some of his best among the classic Metallica albums. And the drums on the infamous "Black Album" sound absolutely freaking amazing. Lars is an incredible drummer, and you can definitely hear that on the aforementioned records. I'll never understand why people have such a hate boner for the guy aside from the whole Napster thing and making Jason Newsted's bass parts inaudible on the final mix for the "...And Justice For All" album. Lars REALLY doesn't get the credit that he deserves for his accomplishments when it comes to arranging the songs and playing along to whatever James is playing on rhythm guitar which you hear a lot of on the albums I previously mentioned. Lars has even said himself that he didn't want to be like his contemporaries even though he did try his best to do so on the Justice album. I'll never understand why people give Lars so much shit while they are also too ignorant or don't want to acknowledge that if it wasn't for Lars as well as his determination to take a chance with coming up with his own band, and being influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, there wouldn't be a Metallica, PERIOD! And, no, this song isn't a continuation of "The Unforgiven" trilogy. "The Unforgiven 3" from "Death Magnetic" was the last of those songs.

The Best Part 2 Me Of This Song..Is During Kirk’s Solo..When James Comes In W/That Wicked Chugga..Chugga..Luggahh..Luggahh….Chugga Riff!!

Think I have found my new favorite tallica record

How do you add the music video clip to your video? What software do you use? I'd like to start making reaction videos myself 🙂

This could’ve been on load or reload

Bet you never thought you'd ever hear the term 'Grandpa Metal'...

Cap’n Krunch is back, yessir!

metallica in chains. love it 😀

If Lilly had a daughter

Now this song is going to divide the real metal-head Metallica fans from the others pretty fast, because this is the best song so far from this album in my opinion, and I'm a metal head. Vicious and dark and heavy, this is awesome to me. THIS sounds like Metallica to me. The first two songs were good, but poppy and CATCHY. This is back to And Justice For All heaviness. My god if this is what the new album sounds like I am stoked. Top of their game all of them, and the BASS!! Great stuff! If these are the commercial cuts off the album we are in for a treat!

That bass at the end is a magical thing... they must have given him something interesting in the middle of the song... Kirk's solo complies but nothing out of the ordinary as we are used to. James as always is the genius of metallica, the drums do what they have to do very well. we have to let robert express himself more... it scares me because this would be his last album?

🤘🤘

MetallicA metal train is an unstoppable power MetallicA for ever more 🤘🎸🤘

I like it.

I look at this song as The Unforgiven IV. It talks about temptation being the father, darkness having a song, which sound to me like it's referencing a rough family, which if I'm thinking right, is exactly what The Unforgiven trilogy is.

To bad regular folks can't think of a beat that simple and make it sound good

Metallica rules!!!!! I will be at the movie theater and getting my preorder the next day!!!!! #deckermusic6 was here!!!! ❤️🤘

badass Feels like Unforgiven/MasterOfPuppets

There is a similarity from the ride the lightning album on that riff

Everything here is top notch, the riff and guitar tone, the thick underlaying bass, vocals and lyrics, but for some reason I think it is the drums that does it for me. The beat just makes me want to move my head. Overall the track sounds like it has a bit of all of Metallica's stages or eras in it, and it fucking rocks.

The beginning sounds like the eye of the beholder

I bet it's going to be a great album. Like a mature St. Anger 2.

Always love your take on songs. It's the first time hearing this. So far from what I've heard this sounds good but, I'd take the new Lovebites album over what I've heard so far from the new Metallica. If Metallica enjoys putting out new material than go at it.

I work for Alamo Drafthouse and they will be screening this live concert! Let me know if there is an Alamo Drafthouse near you.

I keep on wondering if they want to spice up every new song with a little bit of a past album. Darkness sounds like old style mixed with load. Lux Aterna was more like Kill em All. Screaming Suicide had more from Reload. I may be wrong, but so far this sounds reasonable for me. :D

I love Metallica, so as long as they are up to making new music and touring, I'm here for it.

The blobs are called Rorschach Tests

the next 6 weeks will feel like they lasted forever

This is a lot better than most of their newer stuff, but for the "definition of metal", you need to check out Overkill's new song, "The Surgeon ". Or any Overkill!

It's pretty obvious James Hetfield has been listening to "Savage Band" a lot over the last 25 Years . His Vocals sound just like the Savage Vocalist . This song is a Mixture of some Jerry Cantrell Band "Anger Rising" since Robert Trujillo was Jerry's Bassist at one time . I hear Creeping Death , Eye Of the Beholder , Cyanide , Wherever I May Roam , Sad But True , 2 x 4 , Devil's Dance . I could actually see this being a Song for couples to Grind Dirty Dance close to each other in a Night Club .🔥💥💥🙈🙉🙊🌟💫👀✨😎🤙🤠🌋⚡☀⭐🌠

this song sounds like Ghost that main ruff when he sings if darkness had a son

😮✌️

ok. Subbed

Another instant classic from the masters of instant classics.

Temptation!

This is the Best so far off 72 LJR🤘

That solo kicks ASS, best part of the song, especially with the half time change-ups. The song overall is good, but reminds me more of their 90s material -- which is Ok if that's your thing, no disrespect, but I'm more about the 80s stuff (differences? 'Murica!). Lux Aeterna remains my favorite new track so far. Thanks Lilly!

This album feels like they didn't go in and over think the songs. Feels like they said let's jam and record it. Which is why I think its going to be a great album. I know they haven't played their best song. Can't wait for this album

THEY NEED TO KEEP MAKIN' MUSIC. THATAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOOD AT!!!!!!!

a third song a third hit. Metallica are the best there was, the best there is, the best there ever will be and that’s why they can do. whatever they want 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

This song is fire 🔥

I strangely also got Master of Puppets vibes from some parts, really cool song actually. I'm not a Lars hater and I actually love his drumming for Metallica, my only personal gripe with this song is I wish there was a bit more from him. Nonetheless he kept the groove, and it was a really interesting solo from Kirk! I've been a fan for about 15 years and I gotta be honest I'm really stoked for the new album, I feel like it could be their best in years 🤘

Your headbanging is getting better Lilly Jane! Your first few metal video you seemed a little awkward like you didn't know what to do, but now you look like someone who's listened to Slayer 1000 times. Nice! \m/

Try Dimmu Borgir - Progeniens of the great apocalypse. After Slayer, THIS will truly blow you away!!

I fuckin' love it!!! 🤘🎶

Supposedly, this was a deleted work-in-progress from St. Anger called "Temptation." If that's true, it's a neat callback.

This might, ooh! You Rule! Look fer tallica with Michael Kamen!!! 333

Why would it be part of the unforgiven series? They are literally titled unforgiven 1-2-3...

You really have to make a reaction video to Hit the Lights from Kill em All this song is one of the first takes of the band so I really recommend it and I am pretty sure you will love it 🤘🔥also the solos on this song are from Dave Mustaine their ex-lead guitarist and vocalist of Megadeth

listened to this song for the first time today, first impression, not a huge fan. I hope it grows on me, I'll keep playing it

fkn badass song! Three for three on these early releases for this upcoming album. Best shit they've made in 30 years!

Chorus is Ghost vibes

Cool reaction I recommend you watch The Megadeth - VH1 Behind the Music documentary there's a Metallica one too from Behind The Music, and I think is time for you to react to the Metal Gods Judas Priest, Kirk is a super fan from them as is Dave if you watch the documentary he even talks about it, need to listen to The video for Painkiller and react to this whole album it will blow your brains out. My favorites from Megadeth are The System Has Failed from 2004 and Countdown To Extinction you can listen at this 2 from beginning to end endlessly and not get bored the same for Painkiller 1990.

Can you react to Dax new official music video called quiet storm 🍿📽👽🙌🔥

I agree with you that Lars drumming in this song in particular is greatly improved and right in the pocket, it doesnt sound forced.. ❤Please check out the band Periphery , song is called “Wildfire “ or “ Atropos” from their upcoming album out on March 10!! Cheers 🍻

Absolutely they should make new music, as long as there old asses can, but when they can’t just walk away. Maybe James will do some sort of solo project probably would have a bit of country but if and that’s a big so I’ll be there to listen.

great song - fyi lars writes the lyrics

If this song is "the definition of metal", Websters should change their definition of metal.

Are you going to continue your …And Justice for All reviews?

great song, great reaction!

If you like metallica thus far you gotta check out Gwar

A MASTERPIECE!!! ANOTHER BANGER!!! METALLICA STILL KICKS MAJOR ASS AND SHOULD MAKE MUSIC UNTIL THEY SAY IT'S DONE!!! 🎼🎸🥁👊🤘💯🔥👍🙏🤜🤛🍻😎

Enemy of God by the German band Kreator is a song you should listen to. It smacks you in the face right out of the gate, and never stops. The official music video is the best one to watch. They formed in 1982, give them a try.

The Day Metallica stop making new music ( may it never happen) the World will be crying over the loss of the most influential band existing 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….these guys are in their own undisputed, unrivalled sphere
