Love your guy’s reactions! Fun fact: this song is structured to display the five stages of grief. The beginning of the song when it’s a nice peaceful, acoustic riff that is interrupted by the drums is supposed to signify the suddenness of Cliff’s death. The main riff and the first solo is denial and anger, the interlude into the middle section is bargaining, the middle part is depression and then after that it goes back into the calm acoustic part which is acceptance. Truly masters of their craft!

This is Cliff Burton's last contribution to Metallica. It's such a great song 🔥🔥

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" live Day at the Green (Cliff em All) has to go on the list, Cliff at his finest on them 4 strings

The short poem that James recited was written by Cliff. They included it on "Justice" in tribute to their fallen comrade. This is the first album they recorded without him (1989). Cliff Burton 1962-1986

Love watching you young men become metalheads!!! Makes this old woman's heart happy!🤣🤘🤘

One of the best things about Metallica. They could fit 2 sometimes 3 songs into one song. Like they had so much symphonic intellect.

That acoustic middle interlude inspired *ENTIRE BANDS* to start a career. FACTS.

This album is nothing but chugging! You'll definitely love Frayed Ends of Sanity

Greetings from Sweden. Cliff died in a bus accident on a tour in Sweden in 1986. The tombstone with his portrait was raised and funded by fans here. Rest in peace

According to the band, late bassist Cliff Burton wrote a poem that was inspired by TV Christian ministries... That was used for the track as a spoken word piece for 'To live is to die'... Cliff Burton was 24 when he was killed in a tour bus accident in Sweden in the fall of 1986. His sister Connie revealed that they lived w/ their parents while he was in Metallica, and Cliff would wake up every morning and put on Bill Graham Ministries on TV and would be intrigued w/ the "kingdom of salvation"... It was strange because Cliff Burton was not religious, smoked weed, and loved 70's rock music (Black Sabbath, ZZ Top were 2 faves)... James, Lars and Kirk recalled Cliff talking about Bill Graham Ministries and wrote this poem... The instrumental 'Orion' was written in 1985, and Cliff Burton co-wrote it... and there was this section where it goes quiet and he plays this sad melody w/ guitarist Kirk Hammett which sounds like someone saying goodbye... Looking back, it almost seems like Cliff Burton had a premonition that he was not going to live much longer... Metallica dedicated 'To live is to die' to Cliff and his talent. Kirk Hammett said the circumstances of Cliff's death was very unsettling... The night he died, the band was arguing about which bunks on the tour bus they could sleep in... so, they decided to draw cards from a playing deck to make the calls... Kirk said that Cliff drew the Ace of spades and demanded Kirk's bunk... Kirk gave in and slept up front. Late in the night, Kirk was woken up by the bus shaking violently before flipping over and sending everyone flying... With the bus on its side, Kirk got to the emergency hatch and opened it to see Cliff Burton's legs, his body pinned under the bus; Cliff was the only one thrown out the window from his bunk and the bus landed on him, killing him instantly. The bus driver claimed he had hit some black ice in the highway, but James couldn't find any after looking around... the driver likely lost control of the bus after overcorrecting at high speed... James and Kirk were screaming at the driver that night, demanding to know what happened, while a crane turned up to lift the bus and free some people still trapped inside, but Cliff was gone. After being treated for injuries, James, Lars and Kirk w/ their crew were sent to a hotel and they just drank heavily to cope w/ the trauma.

I learned this intro on guitar and played it for my Dad and it was the first time he understood.

That middle section is my favorite of the Metallica instrumentals. James Hetfield wrote that 2nd guitar solo. Metallica's best songs you guys haven't react to yet in no particular order: 1.Ride the Lightning 2. No Remorse 3. Leper Messiah 4. The Frayed Ends of Sanity 5. Harvester of Sorrow

Cliff Burton 1962----1986. 🤘

That album is a monumental masterpiece to the list of Cliff and also a raw power, I love it .

This song is SICK in every sense of the word. I can never pick a favorite song on Justice bc they're all just so good. This album is another masterpiece.

Hey guys, love your reactions, Cliff died in 1986 in a bus crash. This song is like a collection of his final riffs he wrote. I would love to see you guys react to some live stuff, like "Outlaw Torn" or "Bleeding Me". Keep up the good work guys.

You guys gonna love seeing them live, it’s amazing

Please check out "In This River" by Black Label Society live in Paris, specifically the live in Paris version. One of the best guitar solos you'll ever see, and it's completely improvised on the spot. It's a tribute to Dimebag Darrell, Pantera's guitarist who was murdered on stage while performing by a gunman. The guitarist of Black Label Society (Zakk Wylde) was good friends with him.

Metallica - The Frayed Ends of Sanity - it's a song from the same album 🔥

My favorite instrumental, so beautiful!

Frayed Ends of Sanity pls it’s one of their underrated gems

Been my "not dying today" song since 1988. The pain and fury in the guitars keeps me upright.

The last two lines of this song "All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home" were written by Cliff Burton and the last line is also engraved on his headstone too. RIP Cliff 🤘🤘🤘

Love your reactions and seeing you all go through the same experience I had with this band over 20 years ago. Some songs to check out are -“Fuel” (if you want something just heavy and fast), -“King Nothing” (good build), -“Harvester of Sorrow” (awesome drum beat)

Yes! Finally you did my favorite Metallica number. It kind of goes with the next song Dyers Eve. But you guys just made my day!

One of the things I love about watching you guys reactions is watching at least one of you at some point pulling out your phone to research the band or song you are doing. You truly care to know and understand. Love you guys!

Justice is my favorite Metallica album.

I'm so glad y'all did this one. This is my all time favorite Metallica track. I used to come home from school and play this on guitar daily, love this song... Never get tired of it

One of the best pieces of music ever made. From my favorite album

Must do “Orion” next... it’s their BEST of all their instrumentals.

I listened to this song for years and years and never made the connection about their grief over Cliff's death in this song. When I finally did, the song took on a whole new meaning, and I can't listen to the song without thinking about the people I have loved and cared about who have died, while I moved on.

These guys reactions are so genuine..keep it going

Omg thank you for doing this reaction it has been so many years since I've heard the song I got this record from a friend in seventh grade for my 13th birthday awesome

I love ur Metallica reactions I wait for them every time cuz they remind me of how I reacted when I heard the songs first time too and I love reliving these moments again.

Congrats on 400k! If i had one suggestion it would be some playlists. Might help some people find more of the similar videos easier. Keep up the great work! Love the chemistry and vibe

No matter how many times I hear this song I always tear up because loss is something we all experience and this song plays with the stages of grief in such a beautiful way

Rip Cliff

This song.. so i have a vague small memory of when i was REALLY young and my dad used to play alot of guitar, and i remember him playing this and its always had some sort of unique spot in my heart that nothing else had in the same way, it almost makes zero sense to me but when i started playing guitar i always LOVED playing this song, i miss my son and father jam sessions

Another amazing reaction video 💜 I hope you guys get to go & see them with backstage passes 🙏🏽

This is one of the best instrumental songs. I love this song it’s just so good.

Your faces at 5:33 just show how powerful is that part

Check out Fuel, King Nothing, Don't Tread on Me, Mama Said......all great songs 🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is my favorite song of all time

My heart breaks every time I listen to this masterpiece. R.I.P. to all my lost loved ones

Gentlemen, Metallica “Fight Fire With Fire” love your reactions. 🤙🏽

Great work guys. Keep doing your thing

I want you guys to check out Trivium. They are my favorite band and I think you’d enjoy them. Any song is worth listening to because they are all amazing

I'll be traveling 4.5 hours from Louisville KY to see them in St. Louis for the 5th time on Nov. 3 & 5th. Well worth the trip. Have already traveled 5hrs to see them in Chicago in 2018, was amazing. You guys have to experience them no matter the travel time, you will not be disappointed.

Another great reaction from y'all although I do get distracted while watching them oh and congrats 👏🎉 on reaching 400K subscribers ✌💕 from 🇦🇺

Congrats on just hitting 400k subscribers y'all #keepgoing

You guys should react to Metallicas song Harvester of Sorrow.

You absolutely HAVE to listen to the song that comes after this on the album.

It’s great to see you fellas. Appreciate old school Metallica 🤘🏼 those first 4 albums are masterpieces. You should definitely go see them if you get the chance rock on Youngblood ✊🏿

Love y’all’s reaction

This is real music, no auto tune. Music that came from the heart and spoke to the soul. The best music came out of the 70s and 80s

Come on guys. You have listened to enough Metallica by now. You know not to get fooled by a slow start. I've seen the band twice. And on my mothers eyes. God rest her. It's an experience you'll never forget. See them live. Do it. Enjoy all the music. Peace out.

Been waiting for this one…nice👏

RIP Cliff. The day he died was one of the saddest ever, the loss of such great beauty and art the world will never know.

So cool to see diversity in the music you react….so much love to y’all

The show in Arlington is August 18th and 20th. We got our tickets and I can't wait!! It will be my 11th time to see them live.

One of my all time favorite compositions.

Y'all should react to one of my favorite songs from Metallica it's called (The God that Failed)

I got Tickets for Arlington too.. both days.. hope to see you there.. Ya'll please do a reaction to the concert!.. Aug 18&20 baby!!

The frayed end of sanity please

grats on 400k

this is metallica best album . every song is a banger

one of my favorite 🤘😎👍

Your appreciation of Metallica kicks ass! 🤘🏻😎

More Metallica is always a treat! It’s what I tune in for. 👍🤘

We miss you Cliff! I saw Metallica twice last weekend from row in the pit. They played Orion! 🤘it took 15 Metallica shows for me to finally see Orion live. 🤘

It warms my old metal heart to see new eyes being opened haha

Eventually Hope you guys get to hearing Harvester Of Sorrow, off And Justice For All. Such awesome lyrics and deep

I appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to the song all the way through that's cool

The end of this song leads into one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

Great reaction thanks guys

I saw them play this live just james and Jason sitting on stage steps it was cool

Drummer for Metallica, Lars Ulrich,has great video of him back in his home country, Denmark, as guest star playing at Telia Parken with Danish rocker greats Volbeat. Worth checking out, so much energy from the Danish fans.

It's probably one of my favorite Metallica songs of all time.

I use to fall asleep to this song and have the album on repeat and wake up to this song playing ahah .

live version be fire too bro you just gotta watch the right ones! Some of their live performances are INSANE!!

From ashes to new - Bulletproof. the song hits hard!

You see, we can hang together, Metallica fans and rap fans! I love some Wutang and the big ones from 90/2010. But my point is that we have so much in common, I live in another country where we mix everyone mostly at parties, and I have only had positive and exciting conversations. I hope you guys are feeling the respect for each other's music, it's a beautiful thing seeing this happening.

Backstage passes will be expensive haha. But I really hope you can do it, that would be effing sick!

Love this whole album in it's entirety I have this album on vinyl

All you brothers Should see matelica live in concert

Put your seat belts on and do Judas Priest - Painkiller

The music is the lyrics, brothas. It’s telling you a story. Appreciate the reaction

Cliff Burton may you rest in peace from all Metallica fans That's been with Metallica for over 40 years of Concerts

Metallica usually puts one of these songs on their albums. Instrumental masterpieces. Anesthesia (pulling teeth) is a goddamn diabolical bass masterpiece. Only really justified by watching cliff burton do it live

I'm in my 50's and love watching your expressions. Can you guys please play Tracy Chapman, Fast Car? Got to SEE what you FEEL. 😍💞

LOL y'all's reactions are so funny and that's why I need to see your reaction to Jinjer. It will be epic 😂😂😂

You should check "Dyer's Eve" off this album, especially with lyrics. Serious teenage angst with parents

my favorite instrumental they’ve done is suicide and redemption yall should definitely do a reaction to that one

love u guys

August 18 and 20 I’ll be there as well hopefully I’ll meet y’all if y’all come which I totally recommend it’ll be a blast ever since I went to my first concert last year after I turned 16 (Arlington)

Thank you guys!

se nota en sus caras que las melodias de esta cancion ha calado hondo en uds, imaginense que son melodias compuestas por alguien que esta padeciendo un inmenso dolor, y eso siempre se transmite desde los instrumentos de manera irremediable, gran reaccion amigos !!

Hopefully y'all are react to sanatarium and Orion but the studio versions. The fire extinguishers will make an appearance for sure

RIP Cliff🙏😢, we the Metallica family miss you. 🤘🤘🤘

This is not Cliff playing... This is the last song with parts written by Cliff... He died on the Masters of Puppets tour in 86... You still need to listen to the studio version of Orion to really hear the brilliance of Cliff... that and Anesthesia off Kill em all are the best pieces of Cliffs playing...
