Metallica: Fade to Black (Phoenix, AZ - September 1, 2023) 

This song literally saved my life... Thank you Metallica! For everything!

Probably one if not their best song ever. Both musically and lyrically

I loved James' speech 4:09 makes me proud to be a Metallica fan. I have been through that and this song gives me comfort that I'm not alone!

Metallica going on strong as always, regardless of what others say

First song I ever learned to play. Has a very special place in my heart. Absolutely love it.

This song saved my life when my mom passed away and I thought there was no more life to me. This song made feel I was not alone, made me feel understood, listened. It made me feel like Metallica wrote this song for me in that moment... I can't explain it but, I'm pretty sure some of you will understand my words. Thanks you Metallica, you helped me to win depression (although sometimes it still tries to be back). You made me stronger, or... showed me I was stronger than I thought. Thanks you forever Metallica. ❤

There will never be another band as great as Metallica, we are privileged to be alive at this time!

These lyrics do break the isolation, when you’re going through such a state of mind or soul. Thanks, James.

5:43 gives me chills everytime I listen to it.

My goodness Kirk’s solo without Wah sounds so good, it shows how good of a guitar player he is, played so clean and well

This is honestly one of the best performances of fade to black they’ve ever done god damn

James's talk before that awesome riff was one of the thing that connects them to even more people now. Well said from a dark place which can affect anyone. 👏 Still playing like this after all these years too. Amazing. We're blessed to have 'tallica. ❤

Man, this might actually be one of my favorite performances of Fade.

I cried to this song when they played it in Arlington, this song will forever have a big special place in my heart. Long live MetallicA and the METAL!!!!!🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼

Kirk’s vibrato has really improved. It sounds more controlled, not chaotic and fast as it used to. They sound great 🔥🔥🔥

First time in the snake pit for me… first time I cried at a Metallica concert - amazing experience and thank you guys!!!

Gotta say on this version Lars and Kirk are the standouts. Kirk with his amazing solo and Lars with good feel and fills with a great double bass ending. Great job guys, kicking Ass as usual. Long live the Metal Titans 🤟🏼❤

Just lost my son Austin at the age of 23 on 12/01/2023 He took me to this concert and hugged me and cried to the song.. love you and missing my hero.

Dear Metallica, you save my life. Thank you 🤘🇲🇨

This song gave me a spark of light in the darkest hours of my life.

This song has taken me many miles through my life, from the first time hearing it as a pre-teen, trying to understand the changes that were happening. This helped me deal mentally with losing both of my parents, allowing me to grieve with a set of headphones on and flash through many memories of them growing up. Now at 51 this is a song that I listen to daily, and when the time comes I want this played as I fade away.... and I already have it set up to be played LOUD at my graveside for my journey home. Thank you to Metallica for writing and continuing to play what I feel is the best song ever!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Metallica is life

I have attempted suicide multiple times in my life & I am still considering it, but hearing James say, "You're not alone," always reminds me that there are still a lot of reasons why I should keep going. Thank you, James

METALLICAAAA WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU, HERE IN ARGENTINAAA

For those whom walked the fine line between dark and light, this song is why many are still with us. It gave clarity and strength to so many.

Waited 17 years to finally see them live... best concert I've ever been to

Awesome. Such a great song, hard to believe it will be 40 years old next year. Love seeing Greeny on it as always.

Play this song at my funeral, or else I'm not going.

I have felt that inside, and I would have listened to it for sure if not in part due to your music. Thank you, it was an honor to be able to hear that live.

Kirk's Les Paul rings beautiful as ever, James gripping voice delivers the chills as ever. Rob's bass ripping and Lars' kicks and hits driving the song. Yeah, it's simply a joy to listen and watch this. Metallica

This was my first concert ever, long live Metallica 🤘😊

This song hits hard..awesome message James🤘🏻

Excellent performance, thanks James for the words of encouragement, many people need it!

Best song ever written by Metallica. The complexity of the music, the lyrics, absolutely flawless! And still, after all these years, they nail it!

When fade to black started i immediately started crying this song has saved my life countless times then right when i heard james speach i was sobbing uncontrollably the pain of everything ive been through my life i wasnt feeling well. I was feeling like i should take my life but this moment of the show made me cry so hard it felt so good to cry this moment and james speach has saved my life and has given me a reason to keep going i love you metallica and james you saved my life countless times without knowing it. Long live metallica.❤

Metallica I can’t tell you how much this song means to me is help me through so many tough times in my life.

Nem parece que já faz mais de 1 ano do show aqui de Porto Alegre... Que banda ❤

Greeny has absolutely the perfect sound for this song, sounds amazing.

They were awesome, just like I saw them in the early 90s. AZ loves ♡ u guys. Still going strong and enduring the times \m/

It's so awesome to see Greeny still playing to massive audiences worldwide.

"Fade To Black", forever in my heart. ❤ Pure Masterpiece. 🙏🏼

A um ano James desabafou em Belo Horizonte, e também teve esse previlegio com essa especial canção.

I was there, and for my first time seeing them live, I was tearing up when they played this one specifically.

This song is amazing !!! but your performance live was out of this world !!! amazing live version from a guy that have seen so many over the years in my top 3 !!!, so glad to see that you guys still deliver music in such qualitie !!! makes me so proud of being a fan since 1984 !!! thank you !!!

Greatest heavy metal band in the world!! 🤘🤘

Metallica so humble, so proud.....

Even several tens of thousands of miles away one can feel all the energy of music! Awesome! 🤘

I love this song and am not sure I would have survived my teens without it. I was fortunate enough to be in the Snake Pit for this show.

You know the song people claimed made kids take their lives actually saved more lives that they think. Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean we can’t relate. Love Metallica forever

Одна из любимых.❤ Шикарно сыграли и спели.👏👍

fade to black song always give me positive energy whenever i hear it, thank you guys

This was my first Metallica song. I'm 43 and heard this when I was a kid. My mom used to listen to Led Zeppelin, Creedance and many other classics. I only understood the meaning of the song after I learned english. It is deep and raise awareness, but the melody is a masterpiece. Timeless.

Probably one of their best live performances of this song! Keep rocking on \m/

I think this is the best live version of this song... that was fantastic 🤘🎸❤

I can't explain the peace, nostalgia and happiness I feel when listening to this song in the middle of 2023. One of my most complicated years and Metallica is there, every day. If only you knew how grateful I am. As they always say, and as James always says every chance he gets, Metallica Family, always together, no matter how far away we are. ❤️‍🩹🤍

Been listening to them since they started now at 65 years old still loud and heavy

4:12 - This speech is empowering. It gave me goosebumps.

This is my favourite metallica song and none will be better in my opinion

This song literally transcends time itself. And it always crushes!

I was at that show, they sound as good as ever !!!! Even in the 4th level the sound was awesome

Величайшая песня ❤

Que brutal lpm,todos están tan bien que da placer verlos y escucharlos.Lars esta afiladisimo,no importa las pelotudeces que digan,sigue siendo brutal y la mente maestra detrás de Metallica. 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

This is the onyl song makes me cry. Hetfields speech before the solo is like a dads advices. I love you guys. You are the best.

This song just seems to get more meaningful and potent with each year that goes by.

One thing about Metallica, they have so many good songs that many will have many different favorites. But vast majority will have this one in the top 5, and it’s cause this song has so much character is which why I love this one so much

I literally stood in MetLife a few weeks ago with tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful, poignant and powerful song. I don’t care who you are or where you come from, this song resonates 🤘🖤💛

KIRK DIDNT USE WAH

Bravo James for the speach in the middle of the song!!!

My place tonight is entirely different then when I lost my brother in 1994.... today I am feeling the 2 year anniversary of the loss of my Dad... but it doesn’t change anything... Metallica still reminds me that I am not alone... doesn’t matter the circumstances... Thank you Metallica (seriously, thank you)

This was one of my favorite songs they played when I saw them in Arlington. It was such a surreal experience.

A gente nunca se cansa de ouvir ❤❤❤

When I was 8 years old I heard this song, and every time I hear it I am transported to that time. This song saved my life.. Has a very special place in my life.. 🤘🏽Thank you metallica for having created this work of art as well as others that will live forever in the history of rock forever.. 🤘🏽😎

This is the first time I saw this version of Fade to Black. I heard James’ speech during the Dallas concert, but this one was so powerful. I love that he is speaking out for everyone to hear!!! You are not alone!!!

I’ve never been fortunate enough financially or transportation wise to ever see Metallica Live in concert but thank you Metallica Channel for bringing the energy Live to my home ❤❤

Amo essa música ❤ 🇧🇷

I grew up listening to Metallica and there is hardly a day in my life that I don't listen to this song. These days, when I'm reaching my forties, I still can't stop listening to it and I can't stop my emotions and tears every time. Thank you Cliff, James, Lars and Kirk for always being with me with your brilliant music. I wish to meet you in Iran one day.

Metallica the best!🤘🤘🤘

It's nice to see kirk without using wah. I hope he plays the completely original solo one day.

Truly incredible, if you consider he had COVID. Such talented man and band. Keep it rock Metallica!!!

"You are not alone" ! Goosebumps ! 4:34

Was there!!! 💯🔥🔥🥁🎸🤘

Essa música me transporta para 1989 no Ibirapuera, a primeira vez do Metallica no Brasil! Eu estava lá,que dia! Que banda! Simplesmente Metallica!!

This song is amazing. The first time they played it live I almost cry. Metallica delivers as always.

I'm 18 and i know Metallica since i was 5..thx to my dad..i love old Metal/Rock songs.. just wanna say..this song is still alive among new gen.. it's just rare to find :)

Dit nummer sleept me er elke dag weer doorheen ❤🤘🏻 prachtig!

the best harmonies of all time 5:44 I love it

Words cant explain how much i love this song

Honestly, it is absolutely stunning to me that in all of the social media world, the comments section is an endless pit of hatred and fuckin stupidity, but somehow, someway, the comments section for metallica live videos on YT is an endless outpouring of love and unity by the whole metallica family...It is absolutely excellent and uplifting. Thank you everyone. And thank you Metallica!

My Favorite song of Metallica

One of the first tracks I listened to when I bought it on release day. Saved my life more than once. The first note on the acoustic gave me chills I just can't explain. Been a fan since '85, ALWAYS A FAN!!!!

Very good live version of this great song! Metallica's live performance took a step up this tour, as far as I can hear! Great job!

That’s the first time I heard the bass boosted in Fade to black live! Great, really great ❤️

One of the Best MetallicA song.. with beautiful James message...

Som que não da pra ficar parada sonzera!!!!!

This song always gives me chills...😭❤‍🩹

You re not aloneeeeeee!!!

Fade to Black a song that pulled me from the dark abyss of depression and loneliness more than once and it still does. listening it live was a cathartic moment that just left me withba tear in my eye without the person next to me knowing how much it ment to me

That double bass is sounding good!

This song is nearly 40 years old.

This song is the meaning of that part of life where we don't have, or rather we think we don't have, someone... But personally in my worst moment, I only remember that when I woke up my hand was held by my best friend, and that It is the most beautiful gesture that someone had with me... I get a lump in my throat when I listen to it... It is personally my favorite Metallica song... I am grateful that I woke up at that moment and that I am where I am!! !

One of the best renditions of the best song. Kirk really putting people in there place here. No wah and just insane improv solo. Legends.
