"The healing hand held back by the deepened nail" is one of James' best lyrics IMO, both poetic and brutal

One of the most underrated kirk's solos

This song comes straight from James childhood where his parents didn't use conventional medical treatment for his mother who had cancer and left it to faith to heal her, but she died.

Yes, it’s very similar to Maynard James Keenan who also lost his mother because she put her “faith” in her “god” to heal her instead of medicine and medical treatment that ACTUALLY EXIST!!! I dealt with people like this as well, including when I was deployed. I used to have discussions with guys about their beliefs because I remember when sirens would go off and he would crawl under his desk and start praying to his “god” and then he would say that was the reason we didn’t get bombed or whatever at that time to which I just shook my head because instead the attack took place somewhere else and people died. It just like with Tornadoes, when a family would be saying “god saved us” meanwhile a family including a new born baby was killed three blocks away. It just blows my mind the way people who believe in that stuff think. As a realist/Atheist I can’t wrap my head around it.

@@ProudBostonian Hear Hear!!!! 👏👏👏👏 We're all on our own, there is no GOD. This is a BS fairytale that's been passed down throughout the ages, and it started thousands of years before the coming of Christ in many different cultures around the planet. It has been passed down and brainwashed into us all from birth that a Supreme Being is in control of our lives, our existence and the cause of our creation. Total and utter BS 🖕🖕. This song hits home probably just as hard for me as it did for James and many many others. My grandmother also died from cancer after seeking medical care and because she wasn't progressing in her recovery as fast as she thought God would heal her, the doctors said was coming along nicely though, she decided to let Jesus take the wheel and passed away 3 weeks later. So for all of you who think Your God is going to save you, dream on. THERE IS NO GOD!!!! This song says it all people, " FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED" YEAH YEAH!!! BROKEN IS THE PROMISE, BETRAYAL!! BETRAYALLLL YEAH!!!!

One of my favorites solos from kirk

That is what many still don't see, it is what makes Metallica different from the rest of the bands and it is in a group of very few bands with those characteristics. The composition, the melody, the deep lyrics in his songs. It is not always about going as fast as possible if the song is not accompanied by good lyrics. In his melodies you can find the feeling that is in his lyrics. That's why it's my favorite band.

This song, my friend of misery and wherever i may roam are my favourites on this album

Bleeding Me

The three Metallica songs I usually turn to when I'm feeling down are Fade to Black, One and Bleeding Me off of the Load album. Also is that a new tattoo on your arm? It's badass

Indeed it is, thank you 😊

The guitar solo for this song was all Kirk Hammett. Jason Newsted, Kirk Hammett, and Lars Ulrich were going through divorces during the making of this album. “Lars, Jason and I were going through divorces,” Hammett told Playboy in 2001. “I was an emotional wreck. I was trying to take those feeling of guilt and failure and channel them into the music, to get something positive out of it. Jason and Lars were too, and I think that has a lot to do with why the Black Album sounds the way it does.” - Kirk Hammett James had also made the songs more introspective for this album because he knew that the lyrics would end up being more relative to a universal audience. "“It just got a little too easy to keep writing lyrics like the Justice… shit,” he confessed to Classic Rock. “Itʼs too easy to watch the news and write a fucking tune about what you saw. Writing shit from within is a lot harder than writing the political shit, but once itʼs out it feels a lot easier to put your weight behind, especially live.” - James Hetfield The animosity and tension that was featured in the documentary "A year and a half in the life of Metallica" certainly did add to the emotion that was being put on full display on this album in my opinion.

My friend of misery is my favorite to play on that album.

His mom had cancer and refused treatment because she believed God would heal her. She died.

Happy Samhain 😊

I'm a bit more old school Metallica but, this one and Of Wolf And Man are great ones. Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃

FADE TO BLACK was always my go-to; really, the entire RIDE THE LIGHTNING album was shaking the walls and rattling the windows.😁

Yay my second favorite song on this album.

This song and my friend of misery hit hard for me especially since losing my brother in 2015 left a void with so many unanswerable questions

One of my favorites from this album. I'd say that the middle part of My Friend Of Misery, the next track, is probably my favorite thing on this album. Also, that The Unforgiven solo was amazing. Wherever I May Roam and Of Wolf And Man are also highlights for me right there. Not a bad album by any means, even if I'm much more a fan of the older albums.

This is one of my top 5 Metallica song

I've been listening to this song since the album came out. I really played it when my grandfather died in 2015, and again now with my mother being diagnosed with ALS.

I always felt this is part 1 of the James Trilogy. On this song, he gets out his pain and frustration over his mother’s death, in “Mama Said” on the Load album, he gains empathy and understanding of his mother despite their disagreements, and “Fixxxer” on Reload is James resolving his feelings towards his father, who walked out when things got tough.

In their 40 years they have quite a few trilogies and followups, like Unforgiven series. It is really interesting to hear/watch. Similarly Tool went from a lot of "f this, f that" to "We are born of one breath One word / one spark"

The way you reacted to the line "Healing hand held back by the deepened nail" is incredible...I have never seen another reactor react that way.... you are so intelligent... you perfectly under stood this song... That is why I just subscribed!!!

I always understood the verse "Broken is the promise, betrayal" as being directly related to the title and to be told from his mother's perspective, how she believed God would eventually heal her and how he eventually failed her instead

The "god" that failed is the preacher, not God.

Bleeding me off load has some of the most intense singing. You can hear so much emotion and passion in his voice, it blows up my insides every time. One of my favourite metallica songs for sure

This is why metallica is a money making machine the music the lyrics the style so deep in the hole makes something looking so sink the pink just flawless

i cannot put into words how Massive and meaningfull this track is!! Great reaction keep it going forward!

That solo is one of the best on the album imo, it's sick. The whole song is sick really. Fuck the whole album is! Long live Metallica!

“It was such a bizarre way to end the song” just like it was a bizarre way for James’ mother’s life to end with just nothing because she wanted god to save her.

This song full of pain,and anger

Its crazy and awsome, that u find ppl find an obscure song that u love, and find other ppl feel it 2

I was in high school when this album came out. This really struck a chord with me in particular having been raised in a hyper religious background than losing my father at 17. I completely understand your reaction. This song gets you all in your feels every time.

One of my favourite Metallica song ever!!!

The last note for me is because the entire heavy song is about the anger he has for everything that happened but at the end of having seen so much anger gone, what remains is sadness

Thank you. I never really thought about it that way. I think you are right,

1 more for Bleeding Me... plus Outlaw Torn

Cant' wait for "Misery", it's everyone's favorite "sleeper song" from the album.

Carpe Diem Baby always picks me up.

Me personally when it comes to songs that represented James’s childhood I personally thought that the song Dyers Eve was so much more of a raw powerful emotional experience then The God That Failed. Especially with the guitar playing and that song you can really feel the raw emotion and anger that is being expressed within the lyrics and James’s guitar Riffs.

Harvester of Sorrow is definitely my goto

This song really hit when it came out. I was 12 and it was the first time i realized that god had failed me. I didn’t realize other people felt the same way I did, especially adults

Still the BEST song off the Black Album IMO. Great emotional reaction to the solo, I 100% felt that!

Outlaw Torn live Manheim Germany 2019 epic healing

My favorite song on the album. I love Kirk's solo in this one. The lyrics are really powerful too.

One of my favorite sleeper hits from the Black album!

Best song off the album imo.

Amazing song (like the whole album). At the beginning of the second part of the solo (6:37) , Kirk plays the highest possible note of his guitar over the riff with the lowest possible note of James' guitar. Awesome!

'Agony in guitar solo'.... Agree 🤘🏻

KILLER VIDEO!!! 🤘THE DONG I CHOSE TO MAKE MOVE ON IS... "FADE TO BLACK"...💕🙏😊💯🎸🥁

Your feeling with the Kirk’s solo shows why Kirk is a great guitar player , he produces feelings , he transmits something … he doesn’t need to be a virtuosity… he needs to transmits feelings and that’s it’s all

The last few notes of LINKIN PARK's "In The End" are practically the same as this. Has anyone else noticed that?

Guys… she get it! 🙏🤘

I have witnessed Doctors have no reason for why my mother in law is still alive after being told she would be gone in 24 hours. I watched my baby brother get hit by a car, head hit the windsheld and the road. We were told he wouldn't survive. He did. We were told he would never be able to talk and walk. He's doing both. He's still alive and recovering from TBT but getting better every day. Miracles happen. God is real . But in each of those situation, we didn't turn our backs on the people God put in place here on Earth to help. We just more importantly, leaned on God. We prayed for the guidance of those Doctors to lead us to the best possible outcome. And here we are. God can and still does work wonderous miracles but he also lets the world work as it does.

Last 4 songs in this album are the best of the album

Definitely a contender for heaviest Metallica tiff

I’d say it’s their best song off of their best album

Try "Hero of the day" off of their album titled "load". A deeply judged and under appreciated album.

I felt kid james crying in the solo

a brilliant epic song from a brilliant epic album, the black album is a masterpiece. maybe a masterpiece in a bit different way than the first 4 albums but a masterpiece none the less

James comes with this same energy on Fixxxer. Definitely worth a listen

Ohh girl i realy like your channel can't wait to see Death Magnetic album reaction greetings grom Poland ❤👍

I was looking at all my scars and this is what i feel like to my kids the god that failed

Fade To Black

So that is Kirk Hammett's solo and that is an E Minor chord at the end, which actually comprises of six complete notes not three

One of the best on the album

Fade to black. Ride the lightning.

The agony you felt in the guitar solo is kirk trying to play in tune

It's a song about story of james when he is a little kid. When her mom had cancer who believes of christian science. She refused to take medicines and refused to the doctors care. She used to follow the practices of faith healing instead of doctors treatment. Im one of your followers since you started metallica journey. Looking forward your next album Load and Reload, St. Anger. Death Magnetic.

Thank FUK for logical, critical thinking ,skills !! Had doubts about yours.. but you proved me wrong, comfort="hit the lights"

All nightmare long from the death magnetic album!

Part of the problem is that life sucks and there is only one end to the story. Passing it off as God's will is the easiest way to deal with the fact that despite all our delusions, we aren't running anything.

That opening pounding of the bass and drums to me is the anger James feels toward the religion that kept his mom from seeking treatment. It's like he's personally beating on the church with his rage.
