Drummer Reacts - Metallica - The Outlaw Torn 

This song is probably one of the most complicated and intricate songs that they’ve ever made and it’s honestly a masterpiece imo

Man. This song is an S tier hidden gem. Little known fact, they shaved 2 minutes off this song because the CD technology at the time didn't have enough space

Lars playing during the solo is unbelievable...great fills and crashes. Just fucking amazing. This song is top 10 tallica

6:50 volume swells on guitar, you'll see it in the live version Also, Jason was in the band from 1986 to 2001 so yes, he did play bass on this song

It’s nice to see Lars get his props & you mentioned how you like how they experimented everybody just hated it because it wasn’t thrash

A jewel in their crown that will never be credited for what it is.

say what you want about Load... James sings his fucking ass off on this record. i love that they came back to the bridge and played it again. metallica knows where their hooks are.

Excellent choice hearing the studio version first, in all cases. It's how the band intended us to hear them. Live is afterward awesome too, but studio first IMO

Dude, make yourself a favour and watch the S&M version!! Fact 1: the song is about Cliff "You make me smash the clock and feel I'd rather die behind the weel" [instead of Cliff] Fact 2: the last solo is James' solo

Hearing the bass line so clearly was so rare in Metallica songs.

The most experimental album right here.,,,And I remember a hard rock station played the entire album the night before Load was released back in the Summer of `96....

I got this CD in 1997 and.... Man.... I loved it

Load and reload are great albums. They've aged very well. When they first came out it was a radical change in sound.

You might be surprised there are two country/southern rock songs on Load. Check out: Mama Said and Ronnie 🤠🐴

I like hearing reactions to the Album Versions WAY better anyway.

Load album has the best drum recording in the entire Metallica history, imho. And this is maybe the most "grunge" song by them, that's why it sounds so different 🤘 Great reaction, man. Keep it up!

Omg. The Manheim, Germany live is bad ass. Much better than studio, imo.

Great reaction!! This is one of my favorites Metallica's songs!!! 🤘🏼🎶

Musicians are creative people. They HAVE to change things up and we have to allow them. St Anger isn't good. But id argue its one of their most important. For them.

You're absolutely right it felt like there should be another section at the end.... there would have been, but unfortunately they faded out in the middle of the end solo because they literally ran out of time on the CD. Any longer and it would have refused to work on some CD players. The uncut is the B side on the "Memory Remains" single and is 11 minutes long.

Kirk was first solo. James was the second solo.

Gen X'er here. There's a couple reasons why people hated Load/Reload back when they released. First, yes, because it was such a huge departure from what Metallica had done prior. The big complaint amongst my friends, it was "Metallica Lite". You mentioned Black Album, which true enough, that began a transition for them due to vocal reasons. James had blown out his vocal chords prior and literally relearned his vocal talent, even going so far as how to actually sing. Not that he couldn't before, but he greatly improved his range and ability to incorporate that into songs. Then came Load and Reload (and Garage Inc, which released about the same time). It was a big experiment by Metallica, branching into all different kinds of styles, while not having any of the hard hitting speed metal songs of the prior albums. That along with their change of style in general ("Friends don't let friends get haircuts" as Alice in Chains members famously held up on signs for MTV's Behind the Music) left many fans underwhelmed. Then there was the financial aspect. Because Load was supposed to be a single album, but got split into Load and Reload. Not all the tracks of either album were as well-received by the fans, and this started a whole topic on Metallica just doing a cash grab when the best tracks were split between the albums (which... duh). It didn't help later on when Metallica, particularly Lars, went on the warpath against Napster and other song-sharing sites, and Metallica started to be viewed as sellouts that didn't care about fans... who were pirating copyrighted material. Probably the closest they got to "being cancelled" since the accident that claimed Cliff (RIP). Edit for the end: You probably have since looked this up since this is a two year old video, but since you asked... Yeah, Jason was on these albums. He's been long gone doing his own thing, "creative differences", and replaced by Rob Trujillo back in '03, shortly before the release of St. Anger.

Listen to the unincumbered version of this song. That version doesn't fade out at the end. They ended up cutting about a minute and a half to fit the song on the album due to the overall length of the album

My favorite

Also, the last part of this track was cut because it didn't fit in the album [due to total time]. The full version of the track is as follows: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0_i8Ad6Kd4.html

You should react to all of Load and then Reload!

4:15 Lars shifts the snare one the one count then proceeds to blow our minds.

Bro yes reacting to the studio version is the best. Idk why people suggest live versions? The live versions would be alright once the reactor has heard the original version but you nailed it my guy...Great reaction btw...

Everything in this song is so heavy.🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great song

Check ''Ain't my Bitch''

🤘A good live version would be 1999 S&M great with the Orchestra 🤘ed

Lar's fills come out of nowhere and abruptly stop where they shouldn't have for standard drumming, which is freaking awesome as his signature and Metallica songs are naked without it.

React to Metallica playing at the 1996 MTV awards. MTV pissed them off so instead of playing King Nothing they played Last Caress and So What on live tv and ended up getting banned from the awards show because of the cursing/lyrics/subject matter of the songs

Sorry man, forgot to drop a LIKE last time I was here.

I think Load would have been a great album and very loved if it wasn’t by Metallica. 🤷‍♀️ Check out the S&M version it’s even better.

The reason why Load album is not liked; As a Metallica album, it's very, very different from its predecessors [ I was also negative critical of the album when it was released, but I couldn't stop myself from listening to it all the time ]. When we evaluate it on its own, we can say that it is the album with the widest spectrum musically of group. Except for 1-2 tracks like 2 x 4, there are no bad tracks in the album. But still, what I can suggests at first: Ain't My Bitch King Nothing The House Jack Built Thorn Within I always recommend the original audio versions for the first listen. For live versions; In the S&M versions, the band's performance is fine, but since the orchestra is completely up to their own head, there is a bit of cacophony, so I don't recommend the S&M versions.

Watch the s&m version, it’s the best one!!!

Orion mate pure art

Bass & drums, shmoke & a pancake

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of before, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods and Gold

Live manheim Germany is epic and full till the end

Nevermind, you reacted to it lol

I don't know what it means, all I know is James is turning knobs on his guitar! Lol!

Hey, are you the guy that used to have blue hair, posting vids from your garage?

mate, if u are drummer, u need to react pulling teeth

Too slow. Unthrash
