lol in every reaction to "Nothing Else Matters" there's someone who will note this.

They said "Metallica can't make no love song!"... James said "Hold my beer!"

YEEESSSSS!!!!!😂😂😂

*James wrote this for a someone back in the 90's, but when they actually decided to record it, he was way over it. So they recorded it as a "love song" to their fans. People have asked what makes Metallica as a band different from others. One being that they've been together for 42 years last month, are still touring, and still putting out albums. Two of the original members are still there. Kirk Hammett has been with band for 40 of those 42 years, and Robert Trujillo (bassist) being the newest has been with Metallica for 20 years. Metallica is the first band ever to play on all 7 Continents. They've won nine Grammy Awards. Elton John covered 'Nothing Else Matters' while saying it was one of the best songs ever written and that Metallica was one of the greatest bands of all time. That kind of acknowledgement from someone like Elton John is one of the biggest compliments anyone could get. (You should react to that from the Howard Stern show). Metallica has played with the San Francisco Symphony, played at San Quentin prison, and played the soundtrack for Mission Impossible 2 after Tom Cruise gave them a private screening of the movie, persuading them to do it. You can listen to a Metallica song and want to jump in a mosh pit, and the next song you can rock your baby to sleep. They just kick ass.. they're Metallica!* 🤘🤘🤘

Except Kirk's been there since 81' Mustaine was only in the band 9 months, when they went to record Killem All he was gone Kirk was there that was 81' NY. But your right, they're the GOATS of Metal, and my all time favorite. I'm 59 yrs and I've seen them since Los Angeles 1980! Crazy!! They still have it and sound better now! Seen them August at SOFI Stadium, Excellent and they delivered as always! Legends! Period!🤘❤️‍🔥

@@Metal_Mary Dave was kicked out in 1983.. the same year Kirk joined. Kill Em' All was recorded in May of 1983 and was released in July of 1983. Are you sure you didn't see them when they were playing clubs pre kill em' all? Their playlist would've been most of the same. You are 100% right about them and their concerts! They give their all and put on such a great show! And Mustaine.. well, I like Megadeth, I really do but I think Dave gets (or wants) way too much credit for his time with Metallica. He wasn't even with them for a full year. Now all the Dave fans are gonna come after me 🤘🤘🤗

W/out a doubt!

Us old metalheads may find the song “overplayed” but at the same time we must acknowledge that this song is a Masterpiece that together with Sandman and The Unforgiven persuaded the massive crowds of mainstream listeners to embrace Metallica sending these guys to the absolute summit of all Music….and they still reign that summit 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘. To my knowledge The Black Album from 1991 is still today the most sold album in the US…tells you everything about mainstream listeners embracing Metallica

It's just nuts to think they were still in their 20's when they recorded this, and now they are in their 60's...Where has the time gone?

James Hetfield solo's are incredible ❤

"MY FRIEND OF MISERY" best song on the black album, it is perfection! Every instrument crushes it, the message is deep (as always) & no one EVER reacts to that masterpiece, it's a fucking shame ~ I would like to see you change that ~ good on ya youngin, enjoy the ride 🤘

This is clearly one of the best slower metal songs ever. Mad goosebumps from amazing timing, well placed gaps, etc.

Do you get goosebumps because you feel it. It’s a very, very fine song.

If you are liking the black album one of my personal favorites is “ my friend misery” Love the reactions

While most Metallica fans would say that this is not the album they reach for when they want to listen to Metallica, there is no debating the fact that this album changed the entire landscape of music. Thus is one of the highest grossing albums of all time. Front to back this album made it clear Metallica were destined to become legends. It was a huge turning point in their career... For better or worse. Love the reaction my guy! 🍻🍻

the black album gave the world all non-shitty sounding metal music that has followed

Great reaction! Try The Unforgiven! Another great Metallica slower track! Also there is the Unforgiven 2 and 3!

When Metallica was popular in the 90s, I was mostly listening to country music. Then one day, my son convinced me to listen to Nothing Else Matters. I can’t remember what year, but it’s been a long time. That clinched it for me with Metallica. This is not only my favorite Metallica song, but one of my all-time favorite songs ever. It is beautiful and, well there’s not enough good words to say about it. I liked the comment about how they’re the only band that have played on seven continents, and I’m going to have to look up the version of Elton John singing Nothing Else Matters.

My wife and I had this as our first dance at our Wedding over 23 years ago.

Bro! The rabbit hole deepens!! So far you’ve listened to mostly songs off their first 3 albums, which is the thrashy heavy stuff. This album, ‘the black album’ was their 5th album and it catapulted them to biggest heavy metal band in the world. Now you can hear the many different faces of Metallica. They have so much variety in their music. This album, as well as load and reload, they really explore song new sounds and there are some absolute gems on them. Love your Metallica journey so far, but you’re still at the tip of the iceberg. And I envy you for that. Getting that, holy shit they can do this feeling for the first time is just amazing

I guess I have to point out that Metallica was already by far the biggest heavy metal band in the world before this album came out. Bob Rock helped them commercialize the brand which is why it was their last album I purchased. I can still taste that gagging sadness that happened to my 18yo self when I first heard this one. "....couldn't be much more from the heart..." not trying to offend, just being honest.

I told you man under one of the previous Metallica reactions - you're gonna LOVE their 90s stuff. I was born in 88, so by the time when I was getting into their music it was the early 2000s. But I grew up in the 90s and I would always catch myself thinking while listening to their 90s albums "they have captured a whole decade in their music, it is like going back to my childhood even though I haven't been listening to them and Metal in general back then, they have captured how the world felt to me back then". And to think that this song was released in 1991 and they have just captured the whole of the 80s decade with their previous albums... This is why Metallica - at least in my eyes - is probably the greatest Metal band of all time.

Best song

This song is what made me look into Metallica in the 90s...and i haven't been disappointed yet. This song is up there with 'One'...such musical genius.

Elton John says this is the most beautiful song ever written/recorded, it’s so melodic and perfect

They are the ultimate package. Not just a good singer, they are all superb!

You should listen to some of their newer stuff too. Here are some recommendations: - Spit out the Bone - That was Just Your life - Lux Æterna - The Day that never comes - St. Anger (It’s not as bad as people say) - Suicide and Redemption - Inamorata - Atlas Rise

They moved 5 months later after finding Cliff Burton RIP 😢 one of the best Bassist I've ever witnessed, Ever! But I've loved each one, Jason brought so much to Metallica he was a beast of a bassist and back up vocals unmatched!! Robert Trujillo is a beast as well he's fast and has played with some bangers, including Ozzy, Infectious Grooves and Suicidal Tendencies which has opened for Metallica wayyy back when...crazy.

Thank you for reacting to this my all time fave of theirs. ❤

it does seem hypnotic, but i cant pull out the words

This song is an absolute Evergreen. After hearing it hundreds of times, I still feel every note and every word of this.

My favorite Metallica song EVER.

Another REALLY well done 'studio' video song by Aerosmith is "What it Takes" it shows them in the studio with a great vibe of how it is to put a great song together by a great band🤘

Yep😊 the pantra domination live is crazy the 2solos are 🤩

One of my favorite guitar solos. Not too complicated but the intensity hits hard at the perfect point in the song. Just a masterpiece.

Yeah bro. This is one of those songs that commands respect from the very first E note that’s picked.

Goosebumps. you are beginning to be a mother f.. Metalheads.😈❤👍

To Live is To Die please!!. No lyrics, just 9 minutes of emotional music written by and for Mr. Cliff Burton. I dont think they have ever written anything more beautiful since. RIP

This is the song that hooked me on them. James wrote it re: his life. Don’t remember all but has a great story behind it

"Sad But True" another gem from the same album.

The S&M (1999) performance of the song is a must watch.

Finally ..., i've been waiting , hoping & thinking , when will he get to xperience this one MollyBoy Thank You So Much you just made my day

To me, this song cemented Metallica as true musicians. All around a phenomenal band. Loved ur reaction, new sub for sure!!!

I do love and respect this beautiful song, actually intro to it is one of the first things I've learned to play on a guitar, but some people who for some reason call them "true metallica fans" hate this song)) It's a masterpiece!

Next Fight fire with fire👊

Really enjoying watching your reactions as you discover great music and artist!! I am 64 and always feel sorry for young people listening to the same riffs over and over. Just found your channel, I really appreciate your emotion. Good to know your generation does have soul ❤ thanks for taking me back in time. I was watching a skating event and the couple did this song. Talk about crying, to see them soaring together over the ice to this music was so beautiful. Beauty and truth, nothing else matters 😊 your awesome!

I feel bad for kids who grew up with Just mainly rap, what you feel with songs like this is depth and sincerity, which a lot of rap music lacks. Music has been a major part of my life since birth, music of many styles. It's how I cope with pain, it can create a strong connection between you and someone you haven't ever met in sharing feelings that shape you, it's the language I speak when my own words fail. It is a kind of sacred magic that is changing in a way that makes me sad for younger folks. At the same time, how jealous I am that you get to hear so much musical beauty for the first time. Enjoy the ride.

A tribute album was released recently of Metallica songs, by VERY well know musicians, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band. 6 or 7 of them covered this song, Miley Cyrus and Chris Stapleton were 2 that I have heard. Elton John told the band during a Howard Stern show that this is one of the best songs he has ever heard.

Perfect entry song to the Metallica rabbit hole. It’s a beautiful and brilliant song and their catalog gets harder and harder but you should bounce around a bit. Hit the Black album next then ho backwards in time. 🤙🏻

They have some amazing ballads, the older ones have a bit more punch but both old and newer ones are great. Fade To Black Welcome Home (Sanitarium) The Unforgiven Unforgiven II My Friend Of Misery Hero Of The Day Bleeding Me And you’ll get similar feeling from their epic instrumentals Orion Call Of Ktulu To Live Is To Die Put all of these on your shortlist!! Maybe do the instrumentals first, each one is a masterpiece.

One of my favorites of Metallica

My cousin & wife danced their bridal waltz to this song! Steve N The Seagulls do a great cover of this & many other songs!

My wife walked down the isle to this song ❤

I watch your video reactions as one who was alive when they came out. I am jealous of you! You get to hear them for the first time.

It is so wonderful to see you feel the music touch you the way it touched us as when we listen. :)

polar opposite in heavy is The Four Horsemen but its just as gold as this maybe even more so.

This song was excruciating to listen to at 12 after my nana had died from a heart attack on her way home from work in May 5th 1999... This brings all that sorrow to the surface. beautiful song as she was. It was the first pain of loss I ever had that made me open up myself in such a way of sorrow. I wish she were still here. God bless youre soul my nana Glenda R. Dandridge. 25 years later and I still love and miss her it still hurts so much.

The strings section of *_Nothing Else Matters_** and *_Disarm°_* are the two songs that got me to love a strings section in Rock and all its sub-genres.🎻 *being Metallica, °being The Smashing Pumpkins

You're right! MASTERPIECE❤🎶

This is one of my funeral songs, along with The Swan from Carnival of the Animals, and Conor Mason’s version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Guaranteed to get everyone bawling 😁

now listen to this song live with a full orchestra, S+M Live, its this on a whole another level and then some

I saw these at Download 23 Festival anniversary at Castle Donnington last year, incredible ❤

It’s always been my favorite

If you’re still planning to learn guitar, this is a fantastic one to start with, the intro is all open strings for the first few bars. Look up a tab and give it a go. Hetfield originally didn’t want to present this to the band as a Metallica song. It was a love sone he’d written and didn’t think they’d go for it. Cut to a few years ago on the Howard Stern show where Elton John got James to tear up calling it one of the greatest songs ever written.

My personal favourite Metallica song is definitely To Live Is To Die. I cannot recommend listening to it enough.

that is indeed a masterclass of a masterpiece..............

I'm happy to see you enjoy this so much. There's a lot of Metallica fans who HATE this song. This was my first favorite song by them. I think it's probably their most "mainstream" song, along with Enter SAndman.
