FIRST TIME listening to Metallica - "Mama Said" REACTION 

Metallica - Low man's lyric. That's also a hidden gem.

I absolutely love how Metallica dared to go into this style of music. Its wild how fans turned on Metallica for these songs.

It's a beautiful and sad song. I hate it when some wanna-be hardcore fans say that's not Metallica, because it's not metal. Shut the f... up. I'm a 54 year old man who started listening to Metallica in the mid 1980s and I always get goosebums and tears in my eyes when I hear that song. Lily, there's nothing wrong with showing emotions and letting tears flow. But you know that of course 😉. Greeting and Slainte.

I'm a grown ass man at age 38 and this song makes me want to cry the love from my mom is a love that is unconditional I spent 38 years of my life battling my own personal demons just so I can have a relationship with her and now me and her have the best relationship ever

Very heartfelt song ... especially for who knows James' life story 💔

Such an underrated song by Metallica. people didn't appreciate it when it first came out.

I think one of the reasons I align with Metallica so much is that we've grown up and matured together. Every time they release an album it is exaclty where I seem to be in my life and resonates with me. Been a fan since the 80s still a fan today.

Alot of people hated on this song, but it is one of my favorites. Especially because I lost my mother as a young adult after leaving home on bad terms. I never got to apologize to my mother before she passed. I still can't hear this song without losing it 😢

“I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone’s all I see” kills me. I lost my mom suddenly in 2014 and I was as close to her as any son can be with their mom. The fact that I would love a last hug from her, yet all I have is a gravestone, is extremely soul crushing.

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

"I need your arms to welcome me, But a cold stone's all I see" gets me every time. Knowing how his mother passed away at an all too young age, and he was basically without parents from his teens, this just hits hard. The cold stone obviously being the tombstone.

one of the most beautiful songs and one of the most underrated ❤

Fantastic song

One of the best lyrics ever written by James. So intense, so emotional, so full of bitterness... it is a desperate request from a son to his mother to let him fly, to free him from his emptiness, from his insensitivity. Knowing James' story, and his mother's fate, it must have been really painful for James to write this song.

Wait until you get to the last song! The Outlaw Torn is James best song on that record.

I grew distant from my Mom for 14 years over my parents divorce. I tried, but she shut me out, and then I gave up trying. Then I lost her early from cancer at 51, and regretted all the time lost. It hurt more because for most of my youth we were like best friends, and that distance emotionally and living another state away was crushing. It gave me a closer relationship with my Dad, but this song released about the same time we grew distant. Now that I'm nearly the age she passed, this song just hits everytime. Same reaction i get over my Dad with "Wish You Were Here".

Great Song. Happy to see you react to this.

James is a great song writer!

the infamous Metallica Country song lost so many fans, but no not me, welcome back Lilly this song was hard for James his mom died from cancer when he was still so very young. he's imagining a conversation they would have had when he was about 30.

One of their most emotional songs

God damn I love this song!!

I really appreciated that Metallica tried their hand in country with this song. It is a great song and shows how talented the band is to cross over for this song.

I started really getting into Metallica when I was around 15/16 (roughly when Death Magnetic was released) and The Unforgiven III has always held a special place for me

The melody of this song is very beautiful

I love that song so much , Metallica evolution was amazing. There so much in there music that was amazing !!!

Dang it man. 😢 I lost my mother a few days before Mother's Day this year.

I love this album so much. The older I get the better it gets

this is a nice surprise!!one of my favorite Metallica songs. James killed it in the vocals on this one .

The one thing i respect from you is that you are not going by the numbers and actually pick songs that are interesting to you.

It took me a long time to see the beauty in this song. As a teenager I dismissed as some pansy country song but I was ignorant to the message and the powerful emotions behind James’s performance. I agree this is one of their most beautiful and certainly most emotional moments, and I applaud the risk that they took on it.

One of my favorites. Incredible how Hetfield managed to do this so well

Wonderful lyrics. Peaceful song.

Lilly i agree you so much. This song feels good and hurts at the same point so much ^^ -.- Low Man's Lyric is the "Mama Said" on the Reload and is very emotionally too.

James pour out hes hearth, about hes mom, he did in a couple of songs.. the god that failed, is just one i could come up with in this minute..

This song gets so much hate that it just doesn't deserve.

As a HUGE MetallicA fan, this is one of my favorites.

It's a beautiful song, the country influence that James had blended beautifully with that power kick at the end. I really do love the Load album and I respect the lads for doing this. This song made me pick up my acoustic guitar again after years on the electric. Check out - Memory Remains by Metallica

Awesome. Was waiting for this to continue

Beautifull reaction ❤. You really get it!

What a song for those of us that lost or Mama's when we were young. My mom is in a vault as I wipe away tears right now. Seeing homegirls reaction to that lyrics "I need your arms to welcome me but cold stone is all I see'. I was way young when it happened and I could see her vault for years until I was an adult. That I forgotten so much of her. My Grandma and Grandpa raised me to not forget and songs like this makes me remember. That my Metallica Boys. My band since 1989 when I saw em live. They are the best ever. Got me through bad times and the best times like right now. Life is good.

"Low Man's Lyric" is one of James' best vocal performances.

James' voice fits this type of sound so well! Lika a glove. Love the Load & ReLoad era.

So glad your back on the Metallica journey. That hiatus was killing me

The first time I heard this song, I didn’t think it was Metallica, but it’s one of the best metallica songs I’ve ever heard. Who would’ve known they would try out in this style of music.

To answer your question Lilly Jane, it's Fuel from the next album you'll probablly review, Reload. It's a song all about cars, something dear to James heart and mine too. Great reaction btw!👍

My favorite rock songs are always the acoustic guitar ones because it's so peaceful. One of my favorites from them for sure. Recently I started admiring Metallica so much more this year because they donated so much money to the flood victims in RS here in Brazil. Great to see you back, Lilly.

Well...some of the most emotional songs by Metallica, what about me, could be "the struggle within", "one", "Dyers eve", "to live is to die", "the unforgiven" (only the first....even if the others...), "nothing else matters", "until it sleeps", "bleeding me", "Thorn Within", "The Outlaw Torn", "Where The Wild Things Are", "low Man's Lyric", "Invisible Kid", "Shoot Me Again", "The Unnamed Feeling", "All Within My Hands", "Suicide & Redemption" (instrumental), "Dream No More", " Halo On Fire", "Am I Savage", "When A Blind Man Cries", "Inamorata" ....................

Lovley to see you back with Metallica.. They have very powerful songs.. Good to see their songs hitting where they are ment to..❤‍🔥

Thats why i love metallica ....

Beautiful. I enjoy watching your reactions as much as I enjoy the music. Semper Fi to your loved ones.

Howdy Miss Lilly. My first time hearing this as well.

Couldn't click fast enough, LOL 😁😁

One of my favorite

This album came out just a few months before my mom passed. The song comfort's me still

Fade to black. Oh my goodness. Beautiful song I heard.

I remember you saying that 'The Unforgiven II' had a country vibe. It's because of the B bender guitar James used for the verses. Little did you know...😂

Been waiting months for you to hit it. One of my favorite Metallica ballads. ❤

My favorite Metallica song to this day " One ". When they 1st came out back in the 80's I wasn't even a teenager yet. Lol

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SONG💕🙏😭I CRIED WHEN THIS CAME OUT......💕🙏😭THIS SONG AND ALBUM GOT ME THROUGH THINGS AND RELATIONSHIPS.

You forgot to mention what happened with "Wasting My Hate". You still need to go back and do that one. In an interview with Mojo magazine from December 2008, Hetfield referred to this song about his mother as, "like a prodigal son song: leaving and then coming back and it's too late, you can't talk to her now." He added: "It was a realization that lots of questions went unanswered. 'I want to say this. I want to ask you this.' And you're unable to. But through therapy I was able to do a lot of grief work, about both parents."

I need a reaction to where the wild things are. Such an underrated song.

Moody Blues Nights in White Satin

Load and reload are amazing albums.

This song means a lot to me. My Mom passed away almost 3 years ago. Losing my Mom is the hardest thing I've gone through in my life. I miss her everyday. But songs like this one helped me to heal. Music can really help get through very painful times.

I heard Fuel once. 25 years later. I'm still playing guitar

Man, I loved this song even before I listened to the lyrics. It just sounds so good. The lyrics just make it even better.

Highly anticipating your reaction to The Outlaw Torn. That song has held a special place in heart for decades now. There’s a higher meaning to the song that most people aren’t aware of yet.

Just discovered your videos lately and i love the vibe, keep it up!

Papa Het, and the Might Met, are excellent at delivering emotion through powerful lyrics and hard music. And when I say hard, I'm not necessarily meaning the metal. People whine about Load, Reload, and St. Anger. Yeah, I do not have nice words for you; 'cause there are good songs on those albums (cd's, whatever). As for what got me into Metallica and capturing me? Picture it, 80's, and a very young, pre-teen, long haired head banging me was finally allowed to buy two rock music cassettes and I grabbed Metallica's 'Kill Em All' & Led Zeppelin's '4' and I even remember my mom saying "I cannot believe I'm allowing you to buy heavy metal" (guess who now loves Metallica and seen them live with me, twice)... ...And I got home, grabbed my boom box, headed to my grandparents, went down to the pond, built a fire, popped Kill Em All into the boom box, cranked it up, and as the fade in began, I fell in love immediately. I have been married to it since. That love, that feel, that vibe; has never passed away. I am 47 now, and I still have that fire burning in my heart. I love it! If people would just love their spouses as I have Metallica, and other bands/music, there would never be another divorce. I swear it.

When your depression and the misery bring you to the very edge it IS metal as fuck to just turn around and ignore the void behind you and just keep sucking wind and moving forward James and the guys get this thats what makes them metal.

❤ Load & Reload ❤ True Metallica Fans Love These Albums. 🤷‍♂️ way back when you started this Metallica Journey, I told you I never heard a Metallica Song I didn't like. 🤘 that's what being a fan is. Accepting the bad with the good. See, When these albums came out, everyone criticized them and found reasons to hate them. I looked for reasons to love them. It's Freakin Metallica, that's the only reason I needed... this is the greatest metal band of all time.

Broken, Beat & Scarred took me on an emotional journey.

Outlaw Torn always gets me

Love this too 🤘

Been waiting months for this one

The Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, and Hero Of The Day are also great songs from Load!

Country Metallica i was overseas when Album came out In military 🪖🪖🪖🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️ it was change of music direction but it sounds GD 28 years later. Still have the cassette to it. JS

song with the most emotion? unnamed feeling for sure

like just the day before yesterday, I visited your channel to see if you had any more of these videos that maybe RU-vid wasn't suggesting to me. And here you are lol.

This song shows James should have done a solo country album

Some awesome songs on load and reload, glad to see you continuing the metallica journey. Great stuff as usual, always enjoy your perspective and seeing the emotional effect of a song in your expressions, probably helps that you're a bit of a stunner like 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hope you're doing good and looking after yourself, don't go getting too skinny eh lass.

You missed the ,,Wasted my hate”…this continues after Poor twisted me in cue

Lily James is absolutely stunning beautiful thank you for this reaction can't wait for Ur next reaction

THE OUTLAW TORN! Almost there!!!!

My first Metallica song was nothing else matters Black album and it got me through a lot of stuff

Thank you for this reaction

Let’s hear more slayer reactions 🤘🏼

🐇 u need million subscribers

This is one of my FAVORITE Metallica songs ever. Don't care.

This is one of my favorites... its hits you in the feels!!!!!!!!

You skipped over Wasting My Hate. I hope you'll come back to that one.

beautiful voice

This is one of my favorite Metallica songs.

Check out the band called The Warning and the live video at the Pepsi center called Hell You Call A Dream. Or their newest video on the same album titled Six Feet Deep. They were asked by Metallice to do their own version of Enter Sandman which they did and Metallica put it on the Metallica 30th. anniversary of the black album.That video is also on RU-vid.

good question. ill go with a really random one off their most hated album. song is called "unnamed feeling"... love you and your reactions

Welcome back :))). Bleeding me would be an excellent choice for a emotional rollercoaster ballad type of thing from Load.

And just when I thought no one would react to this thank you I love this song kind of sad yes but still great song

hi lilly! i just recently found your channel and i so desperately relate to you. i dont know if you will see this but if you do, i would absolutely love to see you react to "sleeping on the blacktop - colter wall" or "Lady May - tyler childers" ( the live version )

wb 💛 ...nice reaction aswell

i really love Load and Reload albums
