Metallica: Fade to Black (Belo Horizonte, Brazil - May 12, 2022) 

"If you struggle inside, you are not alone" beautiful words by James, and very fitting to the song's dark nature.

" If you struggling inside You're not alone " The most beautiful thing I've heard in a while

This is definitely one of Metallica’s best performances of Fade to Black, no doubt

James' voice is impressive. All these years and no signs of tireness. It's getting better by the year, actually.

The acoustic opening of this song is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard, and that’s coming from a classical musician

Metallica forever. I am 47 yearold, senior executive in an international company, father of a 22 yearold daughter. And still, when I get in to my car, First thing I do is playing Metallica’s songs. Metallica is big part of my life and will stay with me until I die.

Fade to black is one of the best songs ever written

"If you struggle inside, you are not alone. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!". One of the best quotes from james. This song just evokes so much emotion, especially in me since i'm having kind of a hard time right now. Legendary song \m/

Back in 80s we didn't speak about depression or suicide, we just kept keeping on and some of us made it and other didn't. This band and this song in particular help me keep going when I wasn't ok. I'm alive today because of Metallica. To my fallen brothers and best friend, This one is for you . I love you guys and miss you so much, not a day goes by I don't think of you guys.

Eu tava meio na bad e me sentindo solitária por ter ido sozinha no show, aí o James falou "if you're struggling inside, you're not alone" e repetiu isso algumas vezes. Foi um abracinho na alma.

I cannot begin to explain how much I love the live intro segment for Fade To Black

The public singing the guitar melody in 6:46 is just... insane

“If you’re struggling, you are not alone”! 🖤🤘🏻 God, I love these guys!!! They’ll never know how they’ve saved me.

5:31 "If you struggle inside, you are not alone. You are not alone." I felt that.... brought an unexpected tear to my eye.

I was there, I cried, I love you guys IT WAS A DREEAM COME TRUE!

Eu estava passando por uma depressão no momento desse show, e foi uma das coisas que me fortaleceram para mais uma vez superar e seguir firme e forte.

This has to be one of the best live performances of this song. James sounds amazing and killed it Kirk, Lars and Rob Killed it just pure Metallica amazingness!!! 🤘🤘🤘

I cried so much during this song in this show... I was alone in the crowd, thinking about my lost young brother that's resting now... I miss him so much. I wish he was there with me.

nem acredito que estava lá nesse dia. com certeza foi um dos dias mais emocionantes da minha vida. esses caras são simplesmente incríveis, talentosos e carismáticos

The guitar intro is so sweeping and haunting, you can feel the pain in the way its played. Chills every time.

Metallica The Best 🤘😎

This song was played at my friend's funeral back in 1990 when I was in highschool I still have a hard time listening to it RIP Chris.

Nunca haverá outro estilo de música igual ao rock e seus derivados, suas músicas conseguem permanecer mais de 30 anos

Beautiful song with special lyrics. This was played at the cremation of my brother who had euthanasia because of his illness ms. To me the lyrics describe exactly his feelings that he didn't want to tell me 😢😢

Is it me or is this literally the *BEST* they've ever sounded live in like 30 years.

One of the best performances of this song ever. Totally got me.

This has to be one of my favorite live performances of the song ever.

Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Bye...

Melhor show 🤘 estamos com você James não desista nunca 💪

Eu literalmente me emocionei nessa música, chorei pra Caraio foda-se. Foi um momento único que jamais vai se repetir dessa mesma forma. Nem pensei em pegar o celular pra gravar, só queria sentir a emoção de estar lá no estádio e ouvir a melhor música já feita. Simplesmente Metallica!!!

We were in Belo Horizonte in 2014 mundial and the wonderful city stayed deep in our hearts. Love fm Israel

Eu tenho 51 anos e ouço esta música desde os meus 14 anos

It's easy forget when heavy metal songs like this one are so epic that they're actually about giving in and suicide and that songs like this are often spawned by real life internal pain and anguish. Props to James for speaking up about his internal struggles, especially in front of thousands of people. If he can, you can, and if the people you say it to downplay it or dismiss it, you're talking to the wrong people. If you struggle inside, you are not alone 🤘

Deep respect for James who, with all his constant problems and temptations, manages to pick himself up again and do what he is so good at and what has made Metallica so world famous. And also respect for the fellow band members who know how to deal with this so professionally. Together they form the best metalband in the world !

The solo is just BEAUTIFUL

6:33 I've listened to so much heavy metal/death metal/thrash/power etc etc. This right here, is the crown jewel of all metal riffs. The big epic build up, the lyrics, and finally that big powerful crescendo giving way to an absolutely headbanging euphoria. It's the greatest riff of all time.

Foi incrível !! Eu estava com 3 ingressos, fomos só eu e meu irmão ! O outro era da minha Mãe, que infelizmente nos deixou antes mesmo do show começar... O ingresso dela está comigo e será uma lembrança. Fico muito feliz em ver a Banda com esse nível em todos esses anos, muito bom mesmo !! vcs são foda... kkk

Legendary Performance, I've watched this a thousand times. The fans singing the riff, the fans chanting Die...when James asked them to sign the chorus, I get goosebumps. All respect to the awesome fans.

This is the heavy metal Stairway To Heaven. A mega classic that will never be forgotten.

Fade to Black e minha música favorita do Metallica 🤘🤘🤘

Unironically one of the best performances of Fade to Black

Quando ele falou "if you struggle inside, you are not alone", não aguentei, arrepiei até o talo, me acabei de chorar em pleno mineirão. pqp. INESQUECÍVEL!

Saw and heard this song in cinema yesterday. I startet instant with crying because the lyrics fit with what I’m sadly feeling at the moment. I know it sounds weird but only to this song I can let the emotions which are trapped inside me go. On a strange way this song let’s keep me going even through I am thinking I can’t go anymore. Thank you James, Lars, Kirk and Robert for being there!

These kind of songs, at the crossroads of depression and hope, can only be written by artists in their younger ages, when emotions are dynamic. Glad they did.

até hoje não consigo descrever tudo que senti ouvindo Fade To Black ao vivo e de maneira tão especial 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I am 14 years old, my mom died 4 months ago from cancer. She was 48. She was the best women you'll ever meet. She was never a huge fan of Metallica (her favorite band was Red Hot Chili Peppers) but this song... this song explains my whole situation, I remember a few days before she died I was listen to this song and i said "damn, this is what I'm going through" and when she died this song has always reminded me if her. Rest in peace mom, I miss you

I’m willing to bet that this song has saved more lives than any other song ever written.

Belo Horizonte agradece eternamente pelo super show.. Obrigado Metallica. 🤘🤘

This song is one of my favorite in this album. The riffs are so smooth, they give me goosebumps every time I hear this song. It's just a pure masterpiece.

"If you struggle inside, you are not alone" Powerful quote from James, for me it's right up there with: "Never alive more than right here tonight", "So close, no matter how far" and "San Diægo whale vagina"

I'm sitting with tears streaming down my face knowing the pain this song causes for some. Metallica is still letting it be known that you are not alone!

Se vc estava lá agradeça, vc sobreviveu a pandemia, nem todos tiveram essa sorte, que turnê! Vida longa ao Metallica!🌎🇧🇷🤟

Let's Go !!! I found Metallica when I was 14, I'm now 50 and still listening.

Quero ver um funkeiro tocando sua musica antiga daqui 30 anos Isso sim é arte Rock Forever Viva Metallica

Definitivamente una de las mejores performances de esta canción, casi 40 años escuchándolos. Que calidad!!

eu raramente comento em videos aqui. Mas sentir o james se abrindo com a galera... Fui no show 2 semanas depois de terminar um relacionamento, e não esperava ver um lado tão humano do James assim, do qual eu consegui me relacionar desde o começo, quando ele quase chorou. De 2011 até hoje, esse com certeza foi o melhor show do metallica pra mim. Em alguns momentos, quando ele chegava perto da grade lateral, eu gritava "you're not alone" e ele sorria apontando de volta pra mim. Com certeza esse show foi um abraço coletivo em todos que estavam presentes. Todo mundo ali precisava de um pouco de esperança, não só o publico, como a banda. E nessa noite, os dois lados conseguiram uma energia inimaginavel. 2022-05

Kirk is such an amazing player. Every time they perform fade to black, he changes the solo. They probably run through how he's going to play it, but even so, its quite amazing that he can come up with such changes. Good work guys!

Everytime i hear that riff at 5:40 i get goosebumps

Eu fui! Eu tava!!! Chorei dmais quando começou essa música. Sensação única!! Realização de um sonho ter ido neste show🤘🏽🖤

Fade to Black reminds me of my father, may he rest in peace. He passed away in 2016 after struggling for five years with partial body paralysis and high degrees of depression. For everyone out there “if you struggle inside, you are not alone”.

Damn, Kirk is on fucking fire here - his melodic solos in the first part of the song are so soulful and heartfelt, and then the improv parts in his main solo that ends the song are killer. I hope he keeps that same energy when they finally start recording a new album.

I really like how during the end solo it shows the point of view as if you had just jumped off a city building in the middle of the night. Always what I imagined during that part of the song.

Não acredito que consegui ver essa obra perfeita ao vivo Ainda tô no dia 12 de maio ❤️🔥

Amazing proformance, and watching papa Hitfield's speech about his struggles made me tear up. Hit like if you can't imgaine a world without Metallica!

Melhor Show!! Inesquecível...ver a performance memorável da banda...a emoção do James ao dizer "vocês não estão sozinhos!!"....cara....foi surreal....as vezes acho que foi sonho, mas quando lembro que estive lá e a emoção que foi...não há palavras pra descrever! Vida eterna ao Metallica!!! 🤘🤘🤘

James’ vocals are absolutely on point. I feel he’s strengthened throughout his entire range.

i was there, and it was easily one of the best days of my life. I still cry when i rewatch James saying "If you struggle inside, you are not alone". Turn out to be my space of peace when i'm feel depressed.

Great to see this song still being played after all these years. Equally as great, seeing James being that frontman again. So much respect to the band and especially to James. I'm going though my own struggles with alcohol and he's a life changing inspiration.

I love how subtle but poignant the visuals on the screens are. It's basically what someone who just jumped from the top of a building would see. The fact that it gets faster as they get to the final solo makes it even more chilling. Also, I wonder if James is the one remixing those new intros for the songs, they're amazing, I think he mention in an interview he's the one doing them.

Ever since they’ve played this song after Cliffs passing, I always viewed it almost as a dedication to him

Flawless! James’ voice is SO PERFECT right now Metallica should record a new album RIGHT NOW!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Um dos momentos mais emocionantes da minha vida. Só de lembrar eu já choro. James, você nunca estará sozinho ❤️

I was there and today is exactly one year since this performance, I can't describe the feeling I had listening to a song that helped me go through many moments more easily. Thank God I was able to see my favorite band Metallica who I've been listening to all my life, basically since their first album and I'm glad they're still full of energy and with new album and songs even though James said, "feeling a little bit insecure, like I’m an old guy, can’t play anymore"they're amazing on the new M72 tour I would like them to come to Brazil again and feel his energy and the energy of the Metallica family, incredible feeling to listen them and all together sing along with them🤟

This is the greatest performance of a song I’ve ever heard thank you

This song is amazing. Our great musicians are getting older and it saddens me because it’s life and reality. They have been my choice of music any day of the week, month and year etc. I wish them health and longevity. By the way, is it me or do they keep getting better and better 😎

Esse foi um dos momentos mais sublimes da minha vida. Todo o perrengue que passei pra chegar nesse show valeu a pena. Estar lá junto com essas 60 mil pessoas pra mostrar pro James o quanto ele é amado e admirado foi incrível!❤️

I can't get over how good Kirk's got Greeny sounding. That guitar is a rockstar in itself...

3.1 million views. At least .1 million are from me. Love this song so much. I can’t wait to see Metallica for my 11th time this December.

IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING INSIDE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE keep that in mind metallica family you got this

Everything perfect, drums, guitars & vocals

Not afraid to admit I cried big man tears during this one live. Can't wait to do it again in August. There is simply nothing better in life than watching these gentlemen live. I could do it every night!

Kirk is masterful. The whole band is so fantastic, even now after 40 years.

SIIIIIIMMM Tava na espectativa que iriam postar essa música! Foi foda demais o show! Melhor dia de aniversário que tive! James, você não está sozinho! 🙏🏻💪🏻

This band has the most melodic beautiful rock that has ever been made. First four albums are masterpieces

Cara... que turnê top!!!! Eu ainda sinto todos os dias esse Show!!! Corre nas veias o Metal dessa banda maravilhosa!!!

I have played this song , singularly, more than any other song ever in my life

For me, as a person brought up on old songs, this is a way to feel goosebumps

OBRIGADO por postar umas das melhores performances da melhor música do Metallica! 🖤

The greatest metal band of all time. Absolute Legends...

i love you guys so much, you've either saved my life or another person's life pretty much 10000 times in my life, don't know how much you can be connected, but you guys have been my family replacement since my childhood and always stayed, otherwise I have no one! thank you family!

You know you're the king when stadiums full of people scream the melody of your guitar solos. Jeeeeez 😮

I have listened to them most of my life, i was in high school when they released Kill Em All. Their pre black album stuff was without a doubt the best metal ever recorded. After that... well it was good but not on the same level as the first 4 albums. They are and forever will be one of my most favorite bands. I have seen them live many times, they put on a show that no band can match. This song was always one of my most favorite. I am 53 btw... and still jamming

Depois de ver o Metallica em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro ver os caras na minha cidade, praticamente ao lado da minha casa, simplesmente inesquecível

Sometimes I don’t realize how much I love this band!!! It’s part of our lives!!!

xXx you guys just keep getting better and better. This song resonates so much with me after near death. Your music has always helped since a young teenager.

they performed this last night at my first metallica concert in boston, easily the best moment of my life they were fucking amazing

I cried like a child in this song at the presentation in Curitiba... 🤘🥲

I used to be a Metallica fan boy 10 years ago, learning their guitar solos and even went to see them live a couple of times. THEY LOOK EVEN BETTER NOW!

One of the deepest ballads in human history ☮️

My favourite song of all time. This song has helped me a lot in my dark times, and I'm positive that it has also helped you Metallica fans alot. God bless you all .
