We need to start a Go Fund Me to get y'all to a Metallica concert. If y'all would Vlog it I'm definitely contributing. You guys have reignited my love of Metallica

I'm a 61 year old woman who has loved Metallica since the 1980's. Loving the new stuff but feeling sad because my husband died a few months ago and he isn't here to hear it with me. He was the biggest Metallica fan I've ever known.

I'm 57 almost 58. Been rocking Metallica since they started. You guys need to watch "some kind of monster" a documentary about Metallica. It will help you understand the band even more. Love the show.

James Hetfield (the singer) explained the meaning: "Screaming Suicide addresses the taboo word of suicide. The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it's a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.”

I lost my 15 year old niece to suicide 4 years ago. She was watching movies with friends, told them she would be right back and went upstairs and hanged herself. After a while her friends wondered where she was and they went upstairs and found her dead. She kept it all inside. The message in this song is important.

Its great Metallica has the balls to address a subject like suicide. Their music, lyrics and messages have helped millions of people, hopefully this song will do the same.

Y’all are right on the money. Hetfield knew someone who took his own life really early on in his life; and he’s been a really loud advocate for mental health and asking people for help if you’re in a dark place. He takes time to mention it really often in their shows and tells people to reach out to their friends and family if they’re in a dark place. Really big deal to them.

60 yrs old, got 2yrs of tour scheduled, 2 nights per venue. BADASS!!! That's longevity, something your not going to get from today's musicians

The song is coming from the voice of Suicide. That's why it says keep me inside. But once the person speaks it's name, basically seeking help. Suicide then says it is no longer needed here. It's a really deep song lyric wise.

The drummer Lars Ulrich put an add out and him and James met, they are considered the founding members of METALLICA gentlemen In the official video there is a post from Metallica saying what it stands for. It’s that everyone thinks of suicide and the fight to realize you are enough, we’re told not to talk about it, so it’s standing up and against suicide and the struggles it brings in your own mind to not listen to the negativity and the voices and to remember YOU ARE ENOUGH

My wife and I love you guys for what you are actually doing for music! By that, I mean that it is no doubt that your followers have been exposed to some great music that, otherwise, would have skipped the song or HAD the stigma that all rock/heavy metal music is the same with no meaning or just satanic or whatever. You guys influence people to dive deeper into the meaning of the songs and shed new light to new listeners! THAT IS INCREDIBLE! OWN THAT SHIT YO!!! Music is real life magic that some people that are stuck on only 1 genre may never experience!!! THANK YOU!!!

The way James and Lars met was through a penny saver ad, James was looking for a drummer and Lars hit him up. And the name Metallica Lars read it in a magazine and thought it was a good band name. Also James writes all the lyrics, these guys are proud musicians and no one outside the band has ever written a song for them. James is the mastermind of Metallica.

I love how you brothers breakdown Metallica 🤘🏼✊🏿 I’ve been listening to Metallica since early 80s I remember building skateboard half pipes in the woods and playing Metallica Ride the Lightning album when I was a kid ⚡️

60 years old and still killing it🔥 that’s why they are the goats.

I'm in my 60's and still jam out on Metallica. They motivate the hell of me.

So glad to see Metallica coming back around to their roots it seems. Both new songs sounding good. They have always been on the side of helping others through their music. I believe it is therapy for James a lot of times.

This song is therapy for James as he has spoken of this issue in last year or so.

Ozzy is 74, he just dropped a new album with the late Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Robert Trujillo from Metallica, Zakk Wylde from Ozzy’s 80 band, Duff McKagan from Guns and Roses, Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath and more. When Ozzy calls, legends come running. He has had a rough couple of years with multiple injuries and now has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. In spite of all that this new album, Patient Number 9, has been nominated for 4 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album. The title track is about his wife attempted suicide in 2020, her stay in a mental hospital as well as his last surgery to fix his spine injury from years ago. Remember, Ozzy and Black Sabbath paved the way for bands like Metallica.

72 seasons will be a new Metallica that will not disappoint. Every one thinks we heard it all just wait ......

Just found your page today and absolutely love you guys. First video I saw was a reaction to a Metallica song which I'm a huge fan of. I must add they put on an amazing concert!!!

James Hetfield (guitar/ vocals) and Lars Ulrich (drums) are 59... Kirk Hammett (lead guitar) is 60... Former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) is 61... Robert Trujillo (bass) is 58... Former bassist Jason Newsted is 59... None of them knew each other before Metallica, but Robert Trujillo opened for Metallica w/ the band Suicidal Tendencies - he joined in 2003. James and Lars met in 1981 in L.A. when they were the only 2 posting ads in a local paper for a "heavy metal band" in the 'musicians wanted' section. They were 18/ 19 and James had just moved out of his brother's house and living in Ron McGovney's house (McGovney was Metallica's original bassist)... Lars was a Danish immigrant kid, still living w/ his parents... he was obsessed w/ the new European heavy metal bands like Motorhead, Venom, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head, etc. He would meet his bands when they came to town and made connections w/ people in the local heavy metal scene who promoted and traded the tapes of newer metal bands. Lars auditioned for James' band on drums, but he was terrible... a crappy drum kit, couldn't really play... James said, "Forget it." But then, Lars knew Brian Slagel, who founded L.A. metal label Metal Blade Records in 1981... Slagel said he was collecting demos for an album he called 'Metal Massacre', and Lars asked him if he could have a demo on the record; Slagel said, 'sure'. Ron Quintana was another friend of Lars, who was starting a metal fanzine and couldn't decide on either 'Metal Mania' or 'Metallica'... Lars suggested 'Metal Mania' and took 'Metallica' for himself. Lars went to James again and told him that if they could record a demo, they could be on an album... Eager to start anywhere, James took Lars' offer and the 2 recorded James' song 'Hit the lights'... they asked a local guitarist Lloyd Grant to play on it... 'Hit the lights' made it on the 'Metal Massacre' album in 1981 w/ demos by Steeler, Malice, and Ratt... Metallica's demo got a good feedback, so they decided to make a full band in 1982. James, Lars and Ron McGovney (bass) rehearsed in Ron's garage in 1982 and then Lars' ad in the paper got guitarist Dave Mustaine calling him for an audition... Mustaine was older and his band Panic had just split up, so he needed a new gig. As soon as they head Mustaine play, they knew he was it... Metallica played their first shows opening for Saxon at L.A. club Whiskey-a-go-go w/ Dave Mustaine on guitar and James singing. They recorded a full live demo that year and re-recorded 'Hit the lights'... the demo tape 'No life til leather' circulated all over the USA and found fans in San Franciso, New York City and other metal hotspots. There were clashes early on between Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney... Mustaine also got physical w/ James... Ron McGovney had enough of the mayhem of Metallica and kicked the band out of his home. Lars already sensed that they needed a new bass player... so, his friend Brian Slagel introduced them to a San Francisco band Trauma... Their bassist Cliff Burton was an incredible musician when he saw Trauma perform, and Lars and James asked Cliff to join... After hesitating, Cliff Burton agreed to join only if Metallica would move to San Francisco. James, Lars and Dave packed up and headed to San Francisco in early 1983 and played their first show w/ Cliff Burton there. In NYC, a heavy metal flea market vendor Johnny Zazula and his wife Marsha heard Metallica's demo and were starting a heavy metal label in 1983 called Megaforce Records... They contacted Metallica about coming to NYC to record a debut album w/ Megaforce and the Zazulas offered to manage and book shows for them. But on the drive to NYC, Dave Mustaine was causing conflicts from drug and alcohol abuse, and he would get violent w/ James, Lars, Cliff or anyone he fought with. They decided before they reached NYC that Dave Mustaine would be fired ASAP and listened to other bands' demos to find a new lead guitarist. They loved a demo by Exodus, and decided to contact their guitarist Kirk Hammett. When Metallica arrived in NYC, they told Johnny Zazula that they had to fire Dave Mustaine and send him back to California... Kirk Hammett had formed the band Exodus in San Francisco, but he felt out of place in that band. He heard Metallica's demos, and when he got a call to go to NYC and play in Metallica, he took the chance to join them... Exodus were furious and told him to get lost (They patched things up years later). Metallica had been rehearsing in NYC to record their first album w/ Dave Mustaine... Anthrax was the NYC band that hooked them up w/ a rehearsal space there... With Kirk Hammett coming in, Dave Mustaine was fired one morning and given a bus ticket back to L.A. Kirk Hammett rehearsed w/ Metallica in NYC and it clicked right away... James, Lars, Cliff and Kirk recorded the first Metallica album "Kill 'em all" in 1983, and then Kirk and Cliff were sent back to San Francisco by bus. Dave Mustaine returned to L.A. and wanted revenge against Metallica... he was living in an apartment when he heard a bass player jamming below him. That was bassist David Ellefson, who became Megadeth's bassist in late 1983. Gar Samuelson (drums) auditioned and joined Megadeth... Slayer's guitarist Kerry King offered to play Megadeth's first few shows in 1984... then Gar's friend Chris Poland joined on guitar. That was the first Megadeth line-up. After the death of Cliff Burton in the fall of 1986, Metallica was still touring on their 3rd album 'Master of puppets'... and Lars wanted to do a tour of Japan that year w/ a new bassist... Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records had signed an Arizona band called Flotsam & Jetsam and had just released their first album 'Doomsday for the deceiver'... Jason Newsted was the bassist, and Metallica was his favorite band - he had seen them play Arizona on the 'Ride the Lightning' tour in 1985. Slagel was asked by Metallica to bring in potential bassists to San Francisco to audition, and Slagel asked Newsted if he wanted to try out... Jason Newsted decided to go. He said that Metallica was drinking heavily from their trauma and loss, and bass players were being turned away after barely playing... Newsted had the energy and the skills that Metallica were looking for and made the final cut. But once he was hired and on the road w/ Metallica, the band and crew gave him a rough time hazing him... Newsted became the scapegoat for the loss of Cliff Burton, but he proved his worth for 14 years before he finally left Metallica in 2001.

You guys are the F*CKING BEST!!! I love your reactions and your dissection and insight in to the songs. You've got a life long fan. MetallicA RULES!!!

Thank you guys for opening your minds to music that gets highly scrutinized. Metal and hip hop are my favorite and growing up I got judged for listening to it. Also love that you feel and get the meaning of the songs my boy Papa Het goes deep. Much love Respect

Powerful message from Metallica, vibe of this track hits different, they have Fade to Black, character doesn't make it, Sad But True, character stays bound to their negative thoughts and bad decisions, this track has a cool turnaround in the lyrics though, telling us we can make it through and not to bottle it all up and isolate...powerful message from Metallica

An oldschool fan's first listen to this new Metallica song and I get the pleasure of hearing it with you guys, who are just discovering the band. That's what's great about rock! Take care, fellas.

Love your guys’ approach to Metallica and opening up to dock and metal. Very cool, dudes! 👍🤘

It's true, the state will hold you for stabilization until you're no longer a threat to yourself or others. I worked in a mental ward for a while, we got many patients in who had tried to kill themselves or made serious threats to do so. Metallica was my biggest lifeline when I was a teenager in the 80's and 90's, also the band Suicidal Tendencies believe it or not (Metallica's current bassist Rob Trujillo was in that band too). Their music got me through some extremely rough and dark times, total lifesavers.

I'm 56 and saw them in the 80's. Amazing in your face music without all the special effects. Ride the Lightning was my first album from them on Cassette. lol

I’m 40 this year and have been following Metallica since I was 17. Still my favourite band, I love that they’re still putting out new material and touring.

"'Screaming Suicide' addresses the taboo word of suicide," Metallica's James Hetfield explained. "The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside," Hetfield continued of the track. "It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another, I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it's a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.”

Another great video! Keep rocking my bros!

You guys should react to wherever I may roam live on the Howard stern show one of their best songs and the quality on Howard’s show is amazing

Ayyyy my boys quick with the reaction I love it!!!

I'm 52 years old listening to Metallica all my life Can't wait to see them when they come to Phoenix Arizona in September

Back in the day more kids played instruments, you would talk to friends about it, bands got formed mostly because guys wanted to get together to play songs. Then you end up writing your own. Bands just kind of form.

3rd time hearing it and I like it better than the first time James sounds great,I think the fellers reaction pumped me up good job dudes🤟

Been following you fellas for sometime now. It’s encouraging to see old metal as well as many genres being revisited and talked about by the younger generation and across ethnic boundaries set up by the old music world. Now, to the meaning and back drop of the song. Think along the lines of Master of Puppets, that song is sung from the perspective of the Drug or the “Master”. And so is this song. It’s sung from the perspective of suicide. Suicide is the one singing the parts of the song if you will. Also, and Just like Master of Puppets, there are two people singing or “telling the story”. It is demonstrating the battle within of those suffering from these thoughts. I will tell you the majority of people have thought about it. I myself had my stepdad (the man who raised me), commit suicide. As well as a nephew. It’s good this is being sung about in such a way.

It's so awesome to see how much y'all like Metallica! Keep doing you, you guys are great!

Great reaction, guys! You guys rock 🤘 Jordan of Metal for sure!

You guys are great thanks for repping my favorite band

Kirk, the lead guitarist goes into detail on how the band started during an interview for Icons! He paints a great picture how it all started! The video is an hour and twenty minutes long, but very informative!!

I saw a video of James explaining 72 Seasons is related to the first 18 years of life. 18 x 4 seasons. Love your guys page and content. Keep it up. Everyone should see the live at least once.

When Cliff Burton was 15/16 years old, he was in a band with Mike Bordin and Jim Martin, who went on for form Faith No More.

I didn't get to watch this when it was first released. You all have been giving Metallica a lot of "love" reacting to their videos, so I am watching this video for the first time with you all.

Metallica songs are never about promoting a serious issues. They’re issues that we all feel about things within the world and within our lives. This song alone could possibly save a lot of lives of those who are dealing with it. Those who don’t know how to say it and to not be afraid to to tell someone and get help. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.

If these guys went to a Metallica show, it would be interesting to see how much they're recognized.

What a a great song, and you guys are always fun to watch

Y’all definitely need to hit the show in Arlington! I’ll be there for both shows it’s about to go off it’ll be my 4th and 5th time seeing them

do To Live is To Die or Harvester of Sorrow, both are absolute fire songs

The one guy references how this would be misunderstood by "his people", I'm white as white can get and its misunderstood by a lot of mine too! When I first started listening to Metallica there is a lyric in a song called Blackened that goes "See your Mother put to death, See your Mother die" and I can remember people (including my parents) not liking that and saying that I was listening to devil music, that was telling me to kill my parents. But if they had taken the time to listen to what the song was actually saying it was talking about the destruction of Mother Earth from nuclear weapons, not killing a parent. Loved the video boys!

Metallica’s frontman James Hetfield and the official Metallica account tweeted this on the song: ‘Screaming Suicide’ addresses the taboo word of suicide. The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another I believe most people have thought about it.

Lars Ulrich: Drummer (Founder, the one who wrote the ad) James Hetfield: Singer, Rhythm Guitar (The guy who answered the ad, co-founder) Ron McGovney: Hetfields buddy, original bass player Dave Mustaine: Original Lead Guitarist That was how the band was up until 1982 when they got Cliff onboard and canned Mustaine, obtaining Kirk Hammett after as their lead guitarist. In 1986, when Cliff unfortunately died, they got bassist Jason Newsted, the one you mostly see in concerts with the shaved sides and long hair, usually doing some wild head banging and being a killer back up vocalist. In 2000, Jason Newsted actually left the band due to creative differences, and in 2003 they hired on Rob Trujillo who is their current bassist. You should watch Some Kind of Monster on Netflix which goes through the period of when Jason Newsted leaves the band, James Hetfield leaves abruptly for rehab for over a year and the band basically is left wondering if they'll make it out of this. I think you guys would love it.

Love you guys interpretation and message on the song guys!

You nailed the meaning!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

I seen them back in 1980 or 1981..they were still playing in bars..I seen them at the coast to coast bar in maryland.

Very Good Song. Im so Happy and cant wait for the New Album

13:23 taj. Your brilliant chaotic mind never rests. And I love it. Watching someone or coming into a room where someone taking they life is brutal man. You never recover from that. Even if they lived... Tell Solomons equally chaotic mind thank you for bringing that up. Because it's real. Once you in the mental health system you can't ever get out 15:38 brandon breaking it down and speaking to it. What to say when you talk to yourself. PMA I love it. Thank yall for that reminder. Love yall!!

🤣🤣 you guys are hilarious I love it!

My sister found my nephew (her son) and 7 months later we found my sister in a hotel room it was really ruff there for a while..all you can do is pray for people thanks for doing this reaction.❤

James is talking about holding on to grudges and resentment and how he found a way to overcome this sickness before he killed himself. That is what the song is about.

WATCH ANY CLIP OF THEM IN SEATTLE ‘89 PLEASE WHEN I TELL U ITS WORTH IT

You guys just got a new subscriber 🤘🤘

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HEARING THIS SONG AND IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!! THIS ALBUM "72 SEASONS" IS GETTING MUCH BETTER!!! 🤘🏼🎶

Metallica has never disappointed me…neither has your videos 🤘🏻❤️

You guys need to check out Metallica’s “(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth”. It’s a bass solo by the late great Cliff Burton RIP.

Powerful message from Metallica, vibe of this track hits different, they have Fade to Black, character doesn't make it, Sad But True, character stays bound to their negative thoughts and bad decisions, this track has a cool turnaround in the lyrics though, telling us we can make it through and not to bottle it all up and Very strong and powerful message from Metallica

Great reaction! Ross is absolutely right about the message of the song and about how dangerous suicide is.

Another Banger!! Cranking out hits since 82

It's cool to see people leave there comfortable bubble to see other music don't be afraid to dip your foot in another lake

Love that you guys like Metallica!

Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" & "One" will blow y'alls minds. Great video, guys! Suicide awareness is crucial these days. GEAUX CAJUNS!

Brooo imagine the whole Cartier family at a Metallica concert? Like a Vlog?? That would be insane!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song kicks. I love it. It’s my jam right now at the gym and the lyrics is deep. This song gives off Master of Puppets vibe. Because they are sing as suicide. Trying to mess with you. The end you hear the lyrics “I’m no longer needed here, now you face your biggest fears.” Oh FYI, wait till you hit 40-60 and realize “yeah I’m not old”. Y’all don’t know the meaning of old. Old is how you feel lol. Amen, speak positively about yourself 🙏🙏.

I'm almost 69 and love Metallica!!!

Still killing it!

I like that Kill Bill poster y’all. My favorite line in that movie when she went to get that sword made and she asked for warm soki. Hanso went oooooo warm soki! So if you think about they been doing it so long it’s like they have a doctorate in music. Thank you Brandon for that spiritual message young man!

Gotta react to some of their older stuff, especially stuff off their first album

OMG I was just about to tell y'all. This is a deep subject. Makes me cry and cringe just thinking about fifteen-year-old me all depressed and in love (yeah, right😂) High School was horrible. I'm glad I had music (thanks, Prince) to help me through that god-awful phase😂 Getting help for your mental issues is so important, especially in our community.

II appreciate the breakdown and reading of the lyrics

Dude on the left nailed the meaning I think. After he said it it made 100% sense to me

I just got to give y’all shout out. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not. You know you a great reaction team if you have the following and not just the numbers. You have all ages of people, all different ethnic backgrounds here. I subscribe to only a handful of reactors. Y’all of course, Stevie Knight and Half and Jai. You all have those things in common. That what makes you all GOATS in the making! You all some of the most fun, intelligent and open minded dudes on KZfaq! Thanks for being awesome and making me smile and laugh wit y’all!

Love your Metallica reactions, please do “spit out the bone” studio version. You gonna love it!!!!!

Guy w sox hat I believe really likes Metalica.... I was in high school when they were popular

yall should react to a metallica documentary

this is holy fire of an album props to them for sounding this great

HARVESTER OF SORROW!!! METALLICA"S BEST SONG!!!

They’re first album was in 1983

yup.... THE GOAT i got first CD from mowing lawns and getting my grandma to take me to Kmart.. got every CD since

We’ll get you tickets to the show if you vlog it for us!!

I started with Metallica at age 14, in 1984. A lot of their songs are about therapy in fact🤘😁

MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, EXODUS & the rest are still doing it 40 years later.

The "big 4" or 5 or 6 (depending who you ask) thrash metal bands all knew each other from the San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal scene. This includes Metalica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax (4) Exodus (5) and Testament (6). James was from LA but moved to the bay area in what would become "the metallica house" Kirk Hammit (guitar) originally was with Exodus and when he joined is when Dave Mustane was booted. The current bassist, Robert Trujillo was originally part of Suicidal Tendencies, he came into the band after Jason Newstead left, he replaced Cliff Burton who died in a car crash. Lars is essentially equated with the name metallica with James as a very close second. There has been times when James wanted to leave the band but those days are behind them. All 6 of those bands are still making albums.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS FOR LEARNING JAMES HETFIELDS LYRICS ON THE SPOT. YOU'RE TRULY METAL HEAD'S AND I LOVE WATCHING YOU HEAD BANG AND I'M 57 AND FOLLOWED THEM FOR 4 DECADES LOVE METALLICA. THE ALBUM REMINDS ME OF KILL EM ALL MUSICALLY BUT MASTER OF PUPPETS WITH THE WORDS. ANYWAYS LOVE YOU GUYS AND YES START A GO FUND ME PAGE TO GET TO METALLICA ALL US METAL HEAD'S WILL FUND IT LOL

You gotta react to more 80s live metallica Hit the lights live 1983 metro No remorse live 1985 hammer fest Fight fire with fire live 1987 Gothenburg Those are crazy

This song almost seems like a sequal to thier song Cyanide off of the album Death Magnetic. That song also talks about suicide.

You guys should react to VH1's When Metallica ruled the World.

Next metallica song reaction should be harvester of sorrow (live at nimes) that live performance is legendary & yall will love it!

Cliff Burton's dead was truly tragic and heartbreaking. You should react to clips o when the band is interviewed about that.

Sounds good 👍👍 the new song Cool reaction

Pantera is out on tour again a tribute to the abbot brothers yall should check it out
