Metallica - The God That Failed - REACTION 

The lyrics and song material were inspired by Hetfield's anguish on the circumstances surrounding his mother's death. She died of cancer after refusing medical attention, solely relying on her belief in God to heal her. Hetfield felt that had she not followed her Christian Science beliefs, she could have survived.

I think that this was one of Metallica's "hidden gems" in their entire music catalog!

Metallica-My friend of Misery and The struggle within.

Goin deep on the black album! Nice! "Through The Never"and "Of Wolf and Man" are my favorite songs from that album.

“I hear faith in your cries.” That’s a kid listening to his mother suffer and knowing he can’t do anything to stop it.

It’s about his Mom was a Christian that doesn’t believe in medical science. I forget the name of the denomination, she had treatable condition.

Metallica- and justice for all The title track

Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽!!!

The solo is absolutely disgusting , filthy , dirty , and by that I mean AMAZING lol

I am proud of you mate, one of the best Metallica songs I can listen to it non stop for hours, a lot of meaning behind the song which I also have a lot of thoughts on.

One of my favourite solos. Like a nice kick in the face

It feeds it grows!

React to metallica- bleeding me

This is my favorite track on the album. I dug the album, got to that song,and I was sold

The central theme of the song is faith and human reliance on it, and of unrewarded belief in a God that fails to heal. The lyrics and song material were inspired by Hetfield's anguish on the circumstances surrounding his mother's death.[3] She died of cancer after refusing medical attention, solely relying on her belief in God to heal her.[4] Hetfield felt that had she not followed her Christian Science beliefs, she could have survived.[5]

The singer wrote a follow up called “Mama Said,” it was a song where he made peace with his mom for dying on him when he was young.

Awesome words from your react. 💎

You are spot on. James was angry about family members death from cancer. Raised with a Christian faith, he is angry

Metallica!!!

There are no bad tracks on this album. Only good ones and great ones.

if you are hurt have faith

Perhaps you could find it in your heart to react to a live performance by metallica. Their performance of "...and justice for all" live in Seattle 1989 is epic.

It's a hell of a downward spiritual spiral that I'm caught up in right now. A full-blown crisis of faith for sure. Damn.

Daily miracle: I live on an unstable ball of liquid that orbits an unstable ball of fire. Wheeee what a ride!

If there was ever a word that can trigger this world, it's "God".

"And If you're thinking just now why me o God! The answer is God has nothing to do with it. In fact God's never in France this time of year." - Armand Dorleac.

It’s not really a generalized thing, it’s pretty much how he felt as though God failed his mother with what happened with her and the whole Christian Science thing. I don’t know if you remember but you reacted to Until It Sleeps by Metallica a while back, that song was based around the same issue this one is. I’m a Christian myself, and even though I personally would never make that kind of statement about God, I do love this song though. It’s my 2nd favorite song off this album. And I would take a song with a meaning like this over a song that’s meaning is along the lines of saying there is no god.

Sp Perfect Circle has the song Judith, about his mom & hert faint in God , same scenario as this one. He feels resentful because her fainth is what held her back basically.

India, I love how deep you get into these songs 👌 keep doing what you're doing, would love to know your thoughts on a couple of tunes by Damian Marley, maybe "Patience" and "Speak Life" ✌

one of my favorite bands!

Metallica - Halo on Fire

Great song timeless

This is metal royalty

God sure didn't fail Metallica, This album would become their Biggest selling ever , Maybe they failed God. You'll like Sad but True off this album 🤟😎🤟

Into the night Benny mardonas is great song

This song is about Christan Scientists. It is about someone refusing medical care for their child and he dies. James Hetfield was raised as a Christian Scientist. He lost his mother to cancer because she refused treatment

Hi India. I live your reactions! Why dont you do more Metallica? The Shortest Straw, Disposable Heroes, Battery, or some S&M material like No leaf Clover or The Call of Ktulu. Love you!

While the Talica boys still had Kahoonas. Great album

Loving that bass yeah? 😁😁

As I sometimes say, if omnipotence is incapable, what is capable? If nothing, why create?

James's mother died of cancer. She was a christian scientist and did not believe in medicine. Her god would save her from cancer. Well, she died, and her teenage son saw this as a god that failed...

The beauty of music is that's open to interpretation. My take...we are the God's that failed and betrayed God. The healing hand is held back by the nail we placed in his hand....

God is an absentee landlord

It's a mistake to group everyone with faith into a single category. That would be like saying all black folks . . . . The singer is talking specifically about his mother. She was a Christian Scientist. You should remember though, it was the 70s. Cancer was a much less survivable disease back then. So would she have survived had she gotten help earlier? Impossible to know. She might have died either way.

Que rolon esa de metallica yeah lml

let’s have lunch

React to Mónica Naranjo (sobreviviré) en vivo.

THE SONG SHOULD OF BEEN CALLED "THE GOD WE FAILED" ✝️

He sings to the religion that he's mom was part of

Reacts a Flor Amargo

One by metallica (videoclip)

Listen to ....DISTURBED/the sickness, GODSMACK/voodoo, METALLICA/one

Look a bit deeper, you may understand, it is not denouncing God, pay a little more attention 😊❤️🇬🇧

Please reacts Jerry Rivera - Amores como el nuestro

React to God Was Never On Your Side MOTORHEAD Noone has done it yet

Thoughts and prayers have never healed any anguish. It is a complete waste of time

WHERE MY CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS?! :D

I can honestly agree because, sorry, but GOD is not perfect. He will do his best, but there are times when he does fail.

Totally missed the meaning

god can't fail since he doesn't exist to begin with.

when i heard this the first time i yanked that cd out of my player in my car , smashed it against my steering wheel and threw it out of my window

Metalica sucks.
