FIRST TIME HEARING 'Metallica - Wherever I May Roam' | GENUINE REACTION 

“Metallica’s got me crying again, f**ks sake” yep we’ve all been there

SAD. BUT. TRUUUUUUUEEEE!!!!! Same album, massive heavy riffs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘 Lars Destroying the Drums, Jason with Dirty, Filthy Bass, Epic Lead from Kirk, and James’ lyrics and vocals like a fricking Cannon!!!

This young'n is turning into a metalhead....as a GenX... I'm happy to see young folks realize that GenX Metal was the best generation to grow up in... He's got a long row to hoe..to catch up..hehe.. ✌️❤️🤘...

Carved upon my stone, my body lies but still I roam. I'm a lyricist and I really wish I came up with that. Awesome

It's not one of the hardest song they have written, but one of the most beautiful, catching, memorable. The Black album was a breaking point for their carreer and it's a fucking masterpiece.

I am 57 and saw them 40 years ago. All other bands fell away when we heard Kill'em All.

😂 The open mouthed shock of that first listen. That is the ONLY reaction. Imagine being a teenager and listening to the entire Black album straight through for the fist time. Life changing to an entire generation.

The entirety of the black album is great. It is regarded as one of the greatest albums in music history.

Always loved that song. Watching back all these old ones, makes me realise how much i miss Jason

The level of badassery in this song is unparalleled

I've sailed 10 000 miles around the South Pacific and South East Asia. I've been on the streets for months before. I came back to nothing and now live in a tent in the woods. Can't seem to reintegrate into society. Nothing seems to make sense to me anymore. This song is like a story about my life. Nine years without a home to call my own. I'm outside of if it all now.

Isn’t it amazing when the music brings you to tears!! 💋

Okay, fun facts All lyrics are James. No one else but him. Also this Riff is all Papa Het. He writes around 90% of the riffs. Also, he and Lars put it all together every song, until just recently he's had everyone involved and he said he was ready to let go of all of the control of everything every song and tired of just him and Lars doing it, and wanted all of them to put their ideas, riffs, leads etc into the album. But still 90% of the riffs and still to this day 100% of the lyrics are all James. I've been a fan since 81' the birth of Thrash metal and Metallica was born. They are my favorite band they've evolved just like me. And yeah there's alot of old fans that'll say only the 1st four albums or whatever...me, No I love all their music, James could sing the phone book and I'd buy it & put it on my Playlist!! These boys not only are talented af, but are legendary!! They are so tight 42 yrs together. They got it down!!! They are AMAZING LIVE!! If I lived closer we'd take you to a Metallica concert!! I'd love to see your face full of joy & pure Ahhhhh... thanks for my Metallica Monday💥♥️🤘🤘🔥🎸🤗

I'm a professional belly dancer and I love performing to this song. Metal music isn't typically something I would gravitate too for this particular type of dance, however, this song was the perfect fit for my choreography 👌. Most reactors don't do this particular Metallica song much, so I really appreciate you doing it. Glad you enjoyed it as well.

Faith No More, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses…best concert ever. Legitimately off the charts.

This is one of their best songs they perform live it always sounds epic and beautiful.

The tuning on the snare is soooo crispy in this one, it sounds like he's using a 10 pound (or 4.5 kilo, if you prefer) drumstick. It's like a gunshot

"I. Ask. No One." Perfect

Lyrically, this is my favorite Metallica song. It is extremely poetic.

Metallica have conquered the world musically but at that point in their career they were out to dominate and everything they did was to prove they were the kings of metal. All four playing at peak performance. I was lucky to have seen them on the black album tour. AMAZING!!

"four horsemen" from album kill em all, trust me, ur mind will be blown, this song is fully stacked with great riffs, legendary solos and just so badass, trust me it will definitely be worth it.

There was a moment in time Metallica ruled earth.

"Carved upon my stone, my body lies but still I roam." Genius epitaph....

First heard Metallica in 1985 they were basically underground who had no airplay on any radio stations period. Just proves that genius can NOT be suppressed.

You should check out Sad but true from this album. You will 100% love it.

This is how I felt when I heard this song, Metallica caught me with this song

Continue to and justice for all album bro

I love your enthusiasm and awe....thats how I felt when I first heard it, over 30 years ago :)

Your enthusiasm as you turn into a metalhead is contagious, I wish I was listening to them for the first time, I’ve watched nearly all your Metallica videos tonight and its nice to see someone from the younger generation enjoying this type of music.

30 years later and i still can't tell whether i love the drums, guitar, bass, or singing the best ..each freaking part comes together in a masterpiece of music. Lyrics are so deep. One of my top 5 Metallica songs. If you haven't done Unforgiven yet, you should. I'll find out after this reaction ❤

The black album in it's entirety is a must❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦

I'm late...but LET'S GO!! METALLICA!! YESSSSSS!!💯💥🤘🤘🎸🔥

Stevie ray Vaughn is a great one to react to. You have to watch him live. It's like him and the guitar are connected somehow. Interesting fact, neither Stevie ray or Metallica can read music. Just shows how much genuine talent there really is 😊

YESSIR!!! LETS GOOOOOOO

its a great song but now you have to react to "To Live Is To Die" from their album "...And Justice For All" it's surely one of their best sound, at least my favorite I think, and it's a tribute to their late former bass player Cliff Burton, a wonderful song. please 🙏

One of the best riff creations of all time no doubt

"It sounds like, um ,like egyptian... that doesn't sound egyptian." 💀🤣

Aa an international lorry driver i fully understand the lyrics.. Being a fan of Metallica since '83...

I love watching your videos, It's kind of a way of re-living the sensation of the first time I heard metallica. Keep it up!

“I can’t even fathom…” Yep, that’s it. Right there!

Hey there molly this album was recorded in Vancouver BC Canada and yes I was in high school when it was released it became the party album for all us metal heads !

Harvester of Sorrow/Ride the Lightning/Fade to Black/Blitzkrieg/Frayed Ends of Sanity/Fight Fire with Fire I could go on and on. I discovered Metallica when I was 12 and finally got to see them in concert a couple years ago at 44. I hope you continue listening.

The whole black album cover to cover is genius. Stick with the black album theme and go “Sad But True.”

Saw this concert live in 91. Just brilliant and it was a riot.

Loving it so much Thanks💥💯💥

Another great reaction. Loving your Metallica journey so far 👍

This song was my introduction to Metallica thirty years ago. Still gives me chills every time i hear it.

This Song has always Slapped! Perfect Riff Creation!

I love this reaction!

Dude!!! This song is the shit and your reaction is spot in for virgin ears to it !!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of my favourite metallica songs. James' vocals on this entire album are stunning.

I just found this reaction so it’s my first time watching and I’d be more then happy to see you react to all Metallica albums. You can’t have too much Metallica in your life, trust me!!

Sad But True is 🔥 my friend! Hello from across the pond ✌

Luv this song

Never really got into Metallica..as a 55 yr old I was more into Iron maiden Ozzy..quiet riot...Dio..Rush..Scorpions. Dokken ..BlackSabath Pearl Jam .but for the oast 5 or so years I have really appreciated the music and talent of Metallica...

Yes the Earth is your Throne for you are KING

Welcome to the metal community mate! Been there since 1988 when I was 10 years old. Metallica was a big reason I became a metalhead.

This is my favorite Metallica reaction of yours.

Brilliantl album saw these guys about 3 times they never disappoint 😊

Love these reactions! Mate your feelings and thoughts are just brilliant. And just think… a song released in 1992, having this level of affect… timeless brilliance !!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Good stuff as always, mate! So many of their songs I know you’ll love. Sad but True, Four Horseman (Album and Seattle ‘89 are both amazing), Ride the Lightning, Dyers Eve, and Harvester of Sorrow (has to be the live Moscow version) will probably be right up your alley. Regardless, great videos, really enjoying watching your heavy metal journey haha.

The entire video was shot in my home town. The last line of the song means so much to me. Always reminds me of my father.

Might be my favourite on that album... but then... many choices. Anyhow - delighted at your response to this - I still get goosebumps from it years later. Always be yourself, by the way - crack on fella.

My Friend of Misery is also freaking awesome! Love Metallica. There are some deep meanings in their songs.

Great one my dude! Had great tickets for the Black Album tour back then…awesome then, better today. Love the channel, keep grindin. 🤘🤘🙏

Love it. And Domination in Moscow is coming up - it's a good day over here in Australia.

This is one of my favorite song by Metallica 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤Rock On and Rock Hard 🦾🤘🤟✌️I can't wait till August to see them again in Chicago IL! USA!!!

We, 18 y.o. back then, used to listen to this as something usual, expected as a quality and experience, as something taken for granted... Boy, we were blessed!

Check out "the outlaw torn" from load, Metallica. And ill be a little more Happy 😂❤🎉

Hit the lights 🤘🏻 you'll love that song

Welcome back metal bro 🤘🏻Love watching emotion pour out of you uncontrollably. That’s metal. As with all my comments, may I recommend Machine Head, 90’s thrash titans still going now (latest album is epic) Thanks for sharing your journey 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Widely regarded as only being on their 5th best album. The depth of Metallica is beyond extraordinary.

Harvester of Sorrow. You will love it. "Bro. What are you talkin bout, man." I'm not sure why, but that intro makes me smile every time. Lol

Shouldn't have done the radio edit version! Jame's removed harmony is my favourite bit

Roam is my 2nd fav on this album... I Entered with Sandman in '91 and Still I Roam with 'tallicA!

The black album was the first thing I ever heard from Metallica. I grew up in a Baptist Church where everything was the devil. My parents warned us not to watch MTV because it was the devil. With movies, they used to say people were paying to see the devil. So I grew up thinking anything that gave me those types of feelings you're having when you make the scrunchy face was Satan trying to get into my heart. In 1991, we knew our family was going to be moving away from the place where I was born, and my sister got this wild idea to paint her room with murals on every wall. We ended up with a constant rotation of friends coming through to help us, or just hang out while we worked on this epic project. One day one guy said have you heard the new Metallica?" And he put the tape in. That moment changed everything. My sister went out and bought it (she was a bit older than me) and we listened to it basically on repeat for well over a month. I started learning guitar right away. My dad was a musician in his youth and had instruments in the house. I haven't stopped learning guitar since then. And after the black album, I bought their earlier albums and understood more about the journey the band had been on. And I loved it all. Metallica wasn't just a band for me. It was a way of life.

I remember buying this CD - the drums and bass were just awesome. Next single from this album is also worth checking out - Sad But True (that's the name of the song, I'm not sad).

My absolute favorite song by Metallica!! "Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond, Call me what you will" 🤘🏼

Yeah bro your right man. It’s one of the hardest riffs ever and the solo is just flat out nasty!

No worries the third time i heard one from Metallica I cried like a baby

Yeah this Was hard in the 90s I saw them and Guns N’ Roses on this tour in 91. Was the LOUDEST concert I’ve ever been to.

My head hurts also , see you in a few days, 😊 lts from the listening to the best music ever .😊

Favorite song off the Black Album

One of Metallica's little mentioned strengths is taking another band's song and absolutely turns it into mania. A great example is they're version of the Diamond Head song, The Prince. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

Love this song and always have. If you want heavy, try Sad But True, if you haven't yet.

Drums slam in like an MG. So heavy 🤘

“Sad But True” needs to be next my man!!!

This is when they were introduced to Bob Rock, the producer. They were skeptical at first about trusting him, but soon realized that he could really push them creatively further. Glad James opened the door to Bob. Classic album.

Yeah, one of my favorit Metallica songs. It has such a manacing but also cool atmosphere. If you like this one, check out "Sad but true"

You're My favorite dude!

Metallica was brought to us for our listening pleasure 🎶 🎵

This song start with a fire shot. :)

Mollyboy: 1:42 😲😲😲😲 Shooketh Also, Metallica just speaks to my soul like no other band. Nothing wrong with shedding a tear whwn something speaks to your inner most being. 🤘

MB, also try The Unforgiving or Sad but true. Great stuff 👍🏼

Also going to put Cold Chisel out there again. A wonderful classic rock rabbit hole to tumble down.

Yeah! Brilliant choice Molly Boy. Death Metal cures all.

Mollyboy, I dream of this heavy riffs s I ng. DOKKEN. LIGHTNING STRIKES AGAIN. AWESOME SOLOING

This was suuuuch an underrated song on this album. My favorite for sure

Wholec album MASTERPIECE 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Metallica for life 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
