I've never heard of this, and I've been a fan of theirs since the 80's. I think a lot of people talk about "Metallica Fans", and the actual fans are looking around for the napster-hating, "sellout"-shouting, haircut-obsessed chauvinists that everyone describes, because they're actually pretty rare.

Being a big Metallica fan, I think there is much more intetesting and useful stuff in their music to discuss, than was told in the video. For me the biggest mystery of their music is how do they make so killer catchy riffs and use to make the chromatic intervals sound so cool. I hope you will tell about that in the next chapter about Metallica))

I think the reason behind that both Lars and James are musically open minded and understand how to implement their influences into their music adding an aggressive thick sound to them. Their dual guitar melodies come from Thin Lizzy and King Diamond. The heavy riffing comes from Black Sabbath, and bands like Tank,Motörhead,Diamond Head,Blitzkrieg. Basically Metallica plays British Heavy Metal "americanized".

@@Holistic-songwriting The melodic elements of Metallica seem to increase with each album (with the exception being St. Anger). Consider the softer passages in songs like Fight Fire With Fire, Fade to Black, Battery, and Welcome Home (Sanitarium). They're each very melodic in nature and help to amplify the "male" nature of the rest of the song. Even in Welcome Home, most of the song is pretty sing-songy (though in a distinctly Metallica way). Or, consider the section in Master of Puppets after the second verse, where the band plays a i-VII-VI-VI progression (I think it's called and Andalusian Progression, but it escapes me at the moment). The soloing is extremely melodic (with one of the guitars playing and f# underneath the C as a melodic note). With that, Kirt always found a way to bring melodies into his soloing. As they progressed in their career, James gradually brought more melody into his singing. Looking at Hardwired... to Self Destruct, there are a number of songs that have almost anthemic chorus (Moth Into Flame, Halo On Fire). TL;DR: Though it's never been the sole focal point of the bands creative output, Metallica has (for the most part) always incorporated melody (or, at least, melodic tendencies) into their songs.

I always thought it went like this: James and Lars fighting verbally. They write down their words. Put music to it. New song.

I like your channel. This video seemed to be less in depth than the others. It was more focused on the theme of machismo and less about the songwriting.

Thank you so much for FINALLY talking about how important the "St Anger" era is in Metallica's history. All these fanboys who can't stand that album are just purists who can't accept a more vulnerable side of the band, and that's such a shame. By the way, I don't know if that's because I'm more familiar with this theme, band and their music than with other ones, but I feel like you could've "analysed" the music more in depth rather than just focusing on all the "male" thing. Their music was ahead of their time, they used chromatic stuff all along their discography, they wrote 11 minutes long songs with bass solos and LOTS of time signature changes, they wrote beautiful and meaningful ballads, Hetfield is literally a human metronome who basically plays drums on his guitars, they influenced thousands of musicians... I gladly agree with the machismo factor in their career, but why should we sum their music up only with that? Danke schön für alle ihr Arbeit, Friedemann.

It has literally the worst drum sound I've ever heard in a metal album (at least from a band that wasn't starting out recording their first demos in a garage). It's pretty much unlistenable regardless of whatever merits the songwriting may have.

The fans who rejected the St. Anger album didn't do so because of vulnerability. Metallica has been vulnerable many times in the past, and albeit, not without controversy, but without fans totally abandoning the work. Their first real power-ballad, "Fade to Black", was written by Hetfield's about his battles with depression and suicidal thoughts and feelings. Throughout their career, he's bared his soul in this way, from "To Live is to Die", where they mourn the loss of their co-founder, to "Mama Said", where he mourns his mother. There has been vulnerability, and there has been controversy, but no one abandoned them. The reaction from the St. Anger album was due to Metallica's abandoning some of the key aspects of their music, and generally, the fact like it sounded like a different band altogether.

great video, my favorite band and the reason why I play music today. love your stuff man, cant wait for more

'Epic' was the first word that came to my mind when I thought of Metallica.

Great breakdown here! Was waiting to see this from you myself too! As for the gender thing (awkwarrrrd I know), the generally acceptable way to say that is "Masculine" and "Feminine" as in "more masculine" which you use in the descriptions of traits just great, so it nails that! It lends into the concept of expression (how you choose to express yourself in anything speech, fashion, body language and musical composition) rather than male/female which can seem (totally accidentally) like a gender identity thing - in places where you say "more female traits" it'd be more clear that you mean expression if you said "more feminine traits" when drawing the distinctions. But I respect your prefacing the whole concept and making your intentions clear, since it's such a minefield. Awesome as always!

Hey. This is the first time I've watch one of your vids. I like the analysing. It rang true. Subscribed!

Thanks for covering Metallica! And thanks for the whole season in general. While chord progression content can be found on the internet (big up Jake Lizzio!), the parts of your videos in which you outline similarities and patterns in vocal melodies and how the image of an artist is slowly built over time is something I cannot find anywhere else, aside from your channel as of now. So thank you for that - I know it can take a lot of time to produce these kind of videos. I am writing this because I just wanted to weigh-in on the image of Metallica. They resemble aggression, I think everyone can agree upon that fact, but that doesn't sound like the most optimal way for describe them to your parents or your children. 16:44 - 16:48 really sums up their image best. The feeling after you've been to a Metallica concert or if you have just finished listening to one of their albums is very... relieving. You've let so much anger go and that same musical therapy was discussed when James Hetfield was a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast. There also might be a quintessential side of the band that was left out in the video - the 80's aggression paralleled with Cliff's melodic harmonies that became the pinnacle of thrash metal and spawned many prog metal bands soon after, fighting the glam movement by being down-to-earth (e.g. on stage, the band would wear what they would normally, like Cliff's denim jacket) to James' more lyrical side during the 90's, having spent an entire decade experimenting and getting a lot of shit from fans, which takes ball if you, at one point, 'ruled the world', as the cliche went. I am from Europe and I feel like Metallica is way more known for their ballads, especially by casual fans. I used to tell people I am a thrash metalhead just to see how they react, and most just viewed it an aggressive niche of music that is too chaotic to listen to. But if I played them the preludes of "Master of Puppets" or "To live is to die", they would go on about how big Metallica were and how great their music is. That is why I really enjoyed that you touched upon the logical structure of their songs, because the the sound of the band may seem chaotic at first, but once you are in their world it really isn't. Although Metallica can't write sheet music, in the recent AJFA 30th anniversary they showed mountains of papers in which they had written down the architecture of their songs (intros, bridges and so on). I feel like Metallica transcended their genre, because I've had so many people citing some of their songs as their favorite ones, whilst listening to completely different styles of music (usually not 'fans' of metal). The only artist or band I can think of right now is Kendrick Lamar, in the sense that he makes people who aren't into hip-hop listen to hip-hop (just as a disclaimer, I am not comparing him to Metallica in any other way, as it would be valueless). And one final thing, I remember reading a book about the band's biography when I was a kid and the first few hundred pages were quotes from James and Lars that emphasized on their jamming, but the word 'jam' was never referenced. It was more along the lines of 'sweating in the garage, playing those killer riffs'. I remember thinking how awesome the devotion to their craft sounded to me. I've always associated 'jamming' with funkier bands like RHCP or Extreme , although it might be a subjective thing. For example, when Iron Maiden write their songs, you imagine Steve Harris playing the bass and whistling the melodies for the guitarists to pick up and come up with galloping riffs and while the verb 'jam' technically covers this activity, I don't necessarily see it as jamming, it's more of a... riffing kind of thing? Just wanted to share my few cents, because I know that, for better or worse, I have found myself subconsciously changing how I view an artist' image based upon similar in-depth videos on KZread, with yours being the most effective currently, and I have enjoyed reading your comments pages for more information on particular bands or artists. Anyway, have a great day, Friedemann! Man, how cool does one have to be in order to share a name with Bach himself...

Nice video! I would have liked to see a deeper look into the more progressive, melodic, thrashy and mellow parts of Metallica, though. I think the examples here were of some of the most straight forward stuff, which to be fair is perhaps most popular, but to me personally the least interesting. Keep up the great work!

Metallica also uses a lot of acoustic guitar compared to most metal bands, especially for their intros.I was hoping you'd talk abou that. Being a non metal person this is what attracted me to their music. Aggressive but with a sense of calming.

Congratulations on putting this video together, you definitely raise some interesting and fascinating points. Great job. You have earned my like, genuinely. I'll look forward to more such content. Cheers! \m/

DAFUQ man, it REALLY feels like you're talking about something you don't know! I ussually love your videos but it seems like you didn't put the same passion in this one than in the others.... Metallica has a great sense of melody (they played a live with the San fransisco Symphonic, not a coincidence) and building tension, they're not always at 100% from start to finish. You are actually summering metallica's music to only Kill Em All and Ride The Lightning. Just listen to One, Nothing else matters, Fade to black, The Call of Cthulu, The Unforgiven, And Justice for all..... Anyway, everybody makes mistakes, just wanted to let you know that I don't share your point of view on this one (don't get all the female/male music neither though). I still love your videos and I encourage you to keep going!! By the way, If you like gojira, maybe you could make a video about this band? ;)

Thank you very much. Very cogent take of the band and astute insight into how the real life story could not be divorced from the nature of the art itself. I loved the Some King of Monster doc, and loved the music even more upon watching it, for all the reasons of authenticity you covered. I suspect the ‘hard core fans’ who weren’t onboard with the raw visions of the band were those who fit the stereotype you mentioned. I have always thought the music has only gotten better and better, realer and realer, more mature and more mature, the most recent work always displacing the former in my current playlist, precisely for this reason. Bravo

Man was I happy to see this video! I strongly agree with the idea of metallica's sound quintessentially encompassing a "male" approach. I see a lot of people debating that the video didn't touch on some of the more nuanced moments in metallica's music like their ballads and the classical influences on their sound, I view these elements as still very masculine because they are usually instrumentally used as moments of brevity to build a sense of grandeur that compliments the "macho" heavy riffs. and lyrically their lighter more ballad like songs are always written from a male viewpoint and deal with very masculine emotional responses to more sensitive/emotional subjects like: love (nothing else matters) rejection and shame (the unforgiven) depression/suicide (fade to black) and pretty much falling out of love? (bleeding me). there's probably much more i could elaborate on but those are just some of my opinions.

It's clearly because I'm a girl, loll, at least my musical brain is. Btw, took me a while to remember who the typical Metallica fan you portraited was, lol, the guy from Day of the Tentacle.

This video made sense and I'm for very happy to watch it. Specialy the part explaining the use of Tonic in Metallica's music. And asking what we associate with Metallica cause me to actually think what all those words actually means. Appreciate that.

Oh yeah, Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle! I really considered what you said about using male / female archetypes to music but I don't find it a very useful or illuminating way of understanding music. I can understand using words like chaotic, martial, straight, aggressive, loose, fast, intense, melodramatic etc. but masculine and feminine is too broad and vague to be useful. That's just my opinion. Interesting video though.

Great channel

I've watched quite a lot of these, and enjoyed them. But, this one didn't come across as that insightful, and honestly seemed like some more research could've been a good idea. For me, boiling the most important trait of Metallica down to "male" isn't that accurate. And, talking about "male" rhythms, "male" melodies etc. etc. Seemed unnecessary. You could've just as easily called it for what it is, simplicity, effective simplicity. Nothing to do with gender. For me a way more important trait would be "zero fucks". They've always made music that was true to themselves, whether that entails making long instrumentals, more straight to the point groovy songs, ballads (Nothing Else Matters, Mama Said, Bleeding Me, Fade to Black etc. etc.), or even doing an album with Lou Reed fusing spoken word poetry with Heavy Metal. I'm not denying that there is a fair bit of machismo-attitude in their sound and image. But, boiling it down to that being the defining characteristic of Metallica just doesn't feel right to me. I'm not a fan of Metallica because of the machismo-attitude. If anything, I'm a fan of them, in spite of that, not because of it. Sorry, but this video came across as not having that good an understanding of what they're about as a band, and also kinda sexist. Dividing things like rhythm and melody in to gender-boxes and even stating that "women have more drama", I mean, come on, seriously. Could've put a little more thought in to that statement. And, I'm not saying you can't do insightful analysis based on gender and gender-performance. But, you need to have a motivated reason to do so. Like, let's say, doing an analysis of how women are portrayed through the camera lens in a horror film. The conclusion has to kind of justify bringing up gender, beyond simply reasoning, "I feel this is male", or "this is male to me". That's just too subjective for this subject matter.

Although I don't listen to them much anymore from day to day as I do with Karnivool, Toska, or Dorje which most of the time, according to this discussion, is more 'female'. And despite all of that, I almost always hold on to the tonic when creating riffs just like James and whenever I want something to sound heavy in my demos I subconciously, or sometimes not, program the drums to sound like what I'd imagine Lars would play for that part. I discovered Karnivool about 2 years ago along with Toska and Dorje, and it has definately improved my writing and has pushed it more in a 'female' direction for my aural pleasure(and it helps that Rabea Massad and Ian Kenny are geniuses) I honestly kind of thought my days of learning basically every single Metallica song and learning everything about them was past me and that I'm a completely different player than I was 5 years ago. And I guess in some ways I am but some things just never change. For reference: I'm currently 20 years old so that makes me 18 when I found Karnivool and I started playing guitar when I was about 10-11 and until I was about 17 did eventually I develop a taste for other things than JUST Metallica. This was a very nice episode BUT.... *inhale* WHEN DAFUQ ARE YOU GOING TO DO ONE ABOUT KARNIVOOL? SRSLY?! YOU'VE DONE ONE FOR TOOL AND DEFTONES COME ON!!!!

first word i thought of was "loud" and then i couldn't think of anything else that came across as valid across their whole career, as long as it was.

Enjoyed this, as always. Still really looking forward to your take on Nine Inch Nails. There is a lot of genius to unpack there!

Hey Friedemann, Fred(?) I just finished your book a couple days ago and it has really made my songs less boring and more engaging. So thank you.

oh hi me from a year ago

I love your analyses. This series is so interesting. I would love to see your take on Queens of the Stone Age.

I came up with an interesting comparison that St. Anger era Metallica to the original Shield run from late 2013 to February 2014. There were tensions within the group then had a therapy session then resolved the issues. After that, they continued without any problems.

Awesome episode, keep looking "behind the scenes", please :)

Great video as always ! For the next one, I suggest you take At the Gates into consideration. With very unique sound and plots for songs they should take a place in these videos, I believe.

We need season 3! Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, David Bowie, Kendrick Lamar!

you're a very good presenter, even if it wasn't about music i would probably still be captivated,

Green Day and Offspring would be great! Amazing work man! Dropping a sub

Please do Pantera. I love your videos man keep it up!!

YEEAHH! Slipknot would be another awesome video. Or Incubus!
