Metallica - To Live Is To Die *Very Emotional* REACTION 

I am 50 years old and never listened to Metallica. And I consider myself a pretty educated music lover. You guys are sharing music and bringing people together, it's amazing to watch and read all the comments from people of all ages and backgrounds! Your grandpa did a great job raising you. You have a beautiful heart and I know your grandpa is so very proud of you!! Keep moving forward. ❤️❤️

The comments alone make this my favourite reaction channel, I'm from London a 52-year-old black guy who loves music and appreciates the whole spectrum of music that evolved from blues, Celtic folk and classical music....watching the chaos that the world is in watching this channel gives me hope that we can evolve like music and incorporate all cultures to create something beautiful.

P.s. I’m 43 and this still brings me to tears EVERY time I hear it. So so sooooo beautiful..... My dad when he was alive used to say to me ( was a full blown military hard tough bastard) ‘Son, any fool can act tough when upset or hurt......a man, a REAL man will put his emotions out there, to be judged, and no man can judge another. Don’t hold on to darkness......

I was also raised and "saved" by my grandpa. Much love to you, kid. You're a pure spirit.

It takes a REAL MAN to show that kind of emotion. I'm hugging you right now. My mom died of Alzheimer's. It's a horrible disease.

I'm an old white lady but I wish I could be your Grandma.

Your Grandfather sounds a remarkable person. Makes sense his grandchildren are too

I'm proud of you for not editing out your emotions.

The transition the picked A minor chord section always chills me. You have to remember that their friend and bass player died in a tragic bus crash before this album.

I grew up in the Metallica era but never took them in. At 40, with this young man’s help, I’ve finally opened my mind to hear what Metallic offered to the world. I became lost into the music just like him. It locked me in. All these years passed, and I never knew. This song is AMAZING!!

God bless your grandpa and your family

My father past two years ago. He asked my brother to play Metallica on his acoustic at his services. I am still finding it hard to think of him without trying to push it out of my head because it hurts so much. But listening and watching with you just now.... it was very cathartic. Been a quiet fan for a while. But needed to tell you thank you and let you know what you’re doing is making a difference. I love watching you and your brother experiencing songs cross culture and time lines. You both make me smile, laugh and now cry in these hard times. Peace and love to you both Sincerely, Dawn.

never be sorry for wearing your heart on your sleeve. First time watching any of your videos. Glad you have an open mind and are willing to listen to new to you music. Keep it up!

Don't ever say you're sorry for being human and showing your emotions.

My advice, having gone through this. Ask your grandfather about his early life and any questions that you can think. Record him on your cell. Those talks will become invaluable and make sure you store them on the cloud in case your cell goes down. This is a great gift you can give him and yourselves. Don't treat him any differently and definitely don't pity him. You kind of have to buck it up just like you did early on in this video. Just make everything the same for him as you possibly can. Then you can cry after you see him. You're such a good young man. Short term is very difficult for him right now and eventually long term will be as well. But right now, spend as much time as you can and record videos and audio as as much as you can. Blessings on you and your whole family! You to have brought me a lot of encouragement during this time of my life. Keep it up!

This is why you're channel is amazing. I've never heard this song in my life, and I loved it. Not only that, but I got to know you a bit as well. Losing someone you love is always difficult. Thank you for sharing a piece of you.

To live is to die... Justice for Cliff and Jason. On the 27th of September it will be 33 years since Cliff Burton left us Trashers... R.I.P. Bass God and Legacy 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🖤

You're an intelligent, caring and open minded young man, I know your grandfather is proud of you ❤

I never heard this beautiful song before. Thank you. My mom is 94 and slipping away from us. I feel your pain and share your tears.

This video shows why Metallica is one of the greatest bands of all time and why your channel has over half a million subscribers. This is a celebration of the universal power of music to reach inside us and touch the deepest places that make us human. Your channel a much needed gift of unity to a fractured world. I am sure your grandfather would be very proud of this honest, joyful, genuine light you’re shining. Keep it up.

You hit me in all the feels. Never apologize for your feelings. Grandpa sounds like he was a good man, and you were so lucky to have him there for you. Blessings to you and your brothers.

At the 13:16 minute mark, there is an orb that flows down from the top right corner and exits down the middle of the screen. Grandpa's spirit must have come for a visit.

God bless your grandfather. He sounded like an amazing man to step in and make sure you and your brothers did not get separated. Beautiful story, beautiful man, beautiful family. Fan for life. Keep the man’s legacy alive. One love! ☝️❤️

Your grandpa isn't gone, he is in your heart, forever. You are amazing.

You shared your heart, that is just one of the reasons why we all and more followers to come appreciate you and your brother. x

The middle harmonizing section gets me every time, pure mastery and EPIC. Lump in my throat every time as a die hard Metallica fan. My fav instrumental by a mile as is a tribute to bass player Cliff Burton who died in bus crash when band was on tour aged just 24. R.i.p. Legend. No need be sorry because this is why I love this song as is such an emotion song as reason I said. Followed Metallica since mid 80s here in Ireland. Condolences to you and your family.

This was so hard to watch. I felt your heartbreak as it overcame you. Hearing your story has made me admire you even more, you should be so proud of the men you have become. You must be inspiring so many people your age and are fantastic role models.

This song seems to be taking the listener on a journey through various reactions to death or stages of grief.

Man I’m choked up right here with you. It’s so powerful how music touches people

Your Grandpa is one of the great ones. There's a big difference between knowing what's right and actually doing it. He stepped up hard and it made a genuine impact on your life which you'll take on with you. That being said, this could be my favorite album by them. I know everyone loves MOP KEA and RTL but this one, to me, is much better. They were polished enough at this point but not mainstream yet. Such good sound mixes and still that raw beat. Great reaction.

As of today, 192,866 of us were in that room with you. Your grandpa sounds like an incredible gentleman, and it looks to us like he raised two excellent young men. You did some good being real and genuine and allowing this video to make it's way in the world. I feel better about the coming generation knowing you're in it.

I haven't heard this song in probably 15 years. It was one of my favorites, I wore out the cassette tape it was on (copied from my then boyfriend's tape!). I was a big Metallica fan in the 90's.The moment that guitar struck up, I remembered every part of that song. Thank you for sharing your reaction. I am envious of you and your ability to hear these songs for the first time. After all these years, this song can still give me the chills and brings tears. I highly recommend you listen to the song Fade to Black off the Ride the Lightning album.

You weren’t alone, your beloved grandpa was there with you. An orb passed right by you at 13:16. God bless ❤️

Truth is I never really have listen Metallica and at my age I think I should have. So this is also my first time listing to this song. My mom like your granddad has dementia. Sometimes all I can do it sit by her. While I'm doing that I am watching your videos.

Hey man much love. Know that his last day here isn’t his last day my friend. Keep giving that love man that is how we live our best lives. Keep it real as you always do. Music like this allows you to let it out on your terms. Keep it 100 bro

I think so many of us have forgotten how to be real and we love that you remind us. You are a treasure! Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Your grandpa was a beautiful soul who Gave all his heart to his grandkids. May his beautiful memory stay with you forever.

thank and love your grandpa to the end, sounds like he was the rock in your life that you needed... honour him by living well and doing good

hate how ppl think metalheads are all emo or scary We got this side too 🤧

This is mindfulness...when you close your eyes and just listen to where the music takes you and how the same piece of music effects everyone differently and sometimes the same. It is very emotional and takes you to a place that surprises you

Music speaks to the soul and transcends culture, race, religion, gender, etc. It is truly wonderful to watch you FEEL the music. Praise to you for breaking stereotypes and showing the world that we are all ONE and can love and respect one another if we just open our minds.

Us as a people, we only listen to Rap, Reggae, and R&B. We need to explore other music. Music shouldn't be categorized for what race we are. I am Black and been listening to Rock, Metal, Classical, Folk, etc. I have diversity in my life that expands my knowledge of what's out here in this life. By the way, I've seen METALLICA 8 times in concert! They are truly great!!!

Metallica is the Beethoven of our generation. It is meant to evoke emotion. Your grandpa sounds like a special guy 💕

I want to say something that will comfort you the way you and your brother's channel comfort me. My grandparents have passed, my mom committed suicide when I was 9. Raised by my Dad (only sibling has severe autism and nonverbal). My Dad physically abused me and my brother punched often told me I was stupid and daily said I couldn't do anything right. Here's the hope: I left home at 15 but as an adult we got closer he was like a new person. Still wasn't nurturing but not angry. He suddenly got cancer and was on oxygen took off his mask to say something I never heard, "You're doing EVERYTHING right I am proud of you." He improved enough to get off oxygen and laugh at my jokes. As he sat with his hospital scrambled eggs getting cold and wouldn't eat I got him to laugh and eat with a song: a parody of Yesterday by John Lennon with Jimmy Fallon called "Scrambled Eggs" check it out:)

I am in tears. I lost my Mom a few years ago and never did I think that Metallica would represent these kind of emotions, but hearing this through your ears...and your pure LISTENING to music with your heart, really moved me. Your Grampa would be so proud of what a beautiful human you have grown up to be.I'm sure there is a lot of him in you and your brothers. He must be awesome. I hope you still get to spend time with him and hold his hand or tell him stories. Our families are precious. xoPeg

I'm 49 so I know who Metallica is....BUT I NEVER KNEW they had skills like this. I love a good instrumental because you have to capture the emotion without words. This was fantastic!

Heart felt dude. Don't be sorry, we all cry.

My heart aches for your sadness, man. Music is one of those things that can bridge the emptiness of such a thing. As a long time Metallica fan, I'm glad you were able to find solace in their artistry. It was a beautiful moment.

when most listen to country or some slow song when dealing with things....I listen to Metallica, Guns N Roses, Ozzy and Cinderella. They always put my mind at ease. METAL GURL FOREVER ♡♡♡

You just made me cry and give me hope that someday my lost sons will come home

YOU have a good heart and it's because of your grandfather. Don't ever lose site of that.

prayers up for your grandpa, my grandma is 88 and has dementia as well, no fun watching your loved ones go through that.. keep up with the good reactions

One of their greatest songs Extremely underrated

Spending my night crying to Metallica reaction videos Not a bad way to spend the night lol

Old post, but I'm so glad I found your channel and started going back through your history to witness these reactions, and to find that you have your own story that you're telling through your experience with all this music. Thanks for sharing.

This song hits man, you should check out fade to black or nothing else matters both really sad

Bud, you're on a full blown musical journey. Hearing things that you may have never thought twice about before now. It's great to see you getting swept up in the tunes that previous generations jammed to. You may not have known what Metallica was doing playing this particular song and the story behind it, but it sure seems to have hit home. Play it loud, let your thoughts go wild and let the feelings flow. It's alright and we thank you for having us along on your journey.

Your reaction tugs at my heart

Cliff Burton (R.I.P) was the only member of Metallica that actually taught music and harmonies and keys, he taught James, Lars and Kirk(they were self taught musicians) for the melody and harmonies in minor keys to their music. This song from guitars to bass was parts that Cliff played in studio in the downtime of recordings, from the first time I heard it it got me crying.

Grandpa took y’all in and you took him in. He is always with you and beaming so proudly at the exceptional young men you and Fred are. You are bringing immeasurable joy to us all, Tim and Fred, and we got you.... you have over 550,000 of us watching in anticipation.... God Bless♥️🙏🏻☮️

You`re not alone, man. I lost my dad to dementia 4 years ago. I`m also coming up on 1 year that I lost my little brother. He died on 9/29 last year. Gotta be tuff.

Damnit man,you’ve got me all choked up now.Lost my dad 4 years ago,that was the only one that I had left,so I know what you’re talking about.You were lucky to have your Grandpa,he must’ve been one hell of a great man for what he did.

CLIFF!!! It's amazing how one persons emotions, feelings and heart can be understood but other person through the power of music. With no words. The song is an instrumental but says so much. There's so much beauty and love in life. We all share it. Glad I discovered this video. Cliff Burton is a huge hero of mine. "Can not the the kingdom of salvation take me home?"

Coming back to this video again and again. 1st of all - didn't know the song, even after 45 years of my being. It's so good. Thank you for that. Second - your raction shows that music is a language and you picked up on the vibes the band members were in after losing a part of them. Third - your genuine response is precious. I appriciate your ability to really listen and enjoy the music on your journey. Thank you man

We felt that and your experience in it. The few lyrics of this song: "When a man lies he murders some part of the world These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives All this I cannot bear to witness any longer Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home" -Poignant, 2020 Wishing you and your family well

I felt the emotion there, brother. I hope you're ok! A wee white man from Ireland who is 5.11" is giving you big love! You ever want to come here then you stay at my house! Love You!

I love watching your reactions to new music. I also love how you are open to listening to anything! You guys are great, I watch all your videos. I am almost 60 and if I were your mom, I would be mad proud of you!

Never apologize for having strong love for your grandpa. He sounds like an amazing and generous person. ❤️

6:38 the moment it really hits you Music will always cross EVERY boundary... music/emotion knows no boundary... race/religion will never compare to music/emotions

Babydoll this is pure luv. He will always be with you. Everyone who leaves our sides on earth. They become our angels they were our angels on earth an they stay forever with us.. So every time some song or smell or anything brings that loved one to your mind at that very moment they are with u at that very moment.. My Mum adopted me an if not for her who knows. But she passed in my arms. Tho I was gutted by her passing... She told me in a dream she would send butterflys an pennies from heaven. She told me she wud see me not to worry about her she is feeling better than ever. So message was helpful for me. Just kno all will be together again with them.... You are loved baby, you have a bunch of us who have all 3 of ur brothers backs!!!

Hey man, I feel your reaction. Its beautiful. Thats what music has the capacity to do. Bring out real feeling. This was a beautiful thing to watch, to see you reveal something so real to the world, just from an INTRO to a song. Don't apologize, what you felt was real and deserves to be felt. I'm so happy that music made you feel something so real. My dad was in Vietnam andthe Alice in Chains song "Rooster" made me feel some things I never thought of before really hit home so many years later. Don't be ashamed of your feelings, its something to give your strength man.

Your grandpa must be an amazing human to have raised you and your brothers to be such caring people. Your family is blessed to have each other. 💗

It's amazing to see people just now discover a band that my friends and I discovered in the 80's. I'm so glad to see that they are being recognized for what they really were.... Rock symphony. Every album is it's own opera. My friends and I were seen as outcast for listening to music like this while almost everyone else were listening to hair metal poprock...,but we knew then that we were listening to something special that would never be re-created. Metallica created pure musical works of art that will be discovered new by many people for centuries to come.

Thank for showing your Heart keeping it real. Music brings us all together.👍

Damn that was unexpected, 🥺 caught me off guard! Its so crazy my grandpa's is where i grew up most of my life ,i just lost it when you broke down a bit . I just shed some tears with ya . I already know your gramps was a great man for everything he did at his age . I miss my grandpa ,man this was where i jammed this song was at his house how did you know to talk about your grand dad at this certain time of the song thats who i was laying here thinking about at the same time you broke down ! ... dude i just literally shed tears thinking about him when your talking about yours that was crazy bro ...wow you just took me back ... thank you i needed that .. sorry it was emotional on your end .. man that was crazy how this all went together like that .. wtf

That rhythm guitar part in the middle of the song always gives me chills.. Such beautiful and masterpiece of a tune.

Tim, you have nothing to apologise for. I am proud of you for the honesty and rawness you felt in this reaction. You are a credit to your Granddad and he would bd so very proud of you, the man you are becoming, and your achievements. You are a real man, never change or pretend to be something you are not. That you continued listening to this song is commendable. I didn't know any of my grandparents or father, so you are blessed to have spent quality time with yours. Peace, love and happiness. ☮❤🦘🇦🇺

Don’t be sorry music like this is meant to purge out those feelings! Much love and respect to you, your fam and Grandpa. Peace and love!

Don't ever be sorry for the emotions you have or get. You were blessed with an carring person like him, it's a gift to treassure in his afterlife too. Stay you and stay true to that.

Thank you for being you. I’m sending you love. I appreciate you sharing your truth, you have helped me to heal a little too ❤️

To watch this young man transform through the beauty of this song is amazing. Never be afraid to show your emotions.

I was so touched to hear your story. Thank you for sharing. We all share silent battles. I have my own and music helps me cope, escape, call it what you will. And now I can listen to my favorite songs in a whole new light by watching you listen to them for the first time. Prayers for you and your brother for bringing this world happiness in these dark times 🙏🙏💓💞💕

I’m 56 and I miss my grandparents every day. You have thousands of us old ladies who think the world of you and your brother. Hugs to you.

Family is EVERYTHING You are great and so was your grandfather.

Your reaction made me cry. Loving watching you.

Just lost my dad! I'm the last one I'm my family too! My heart is breaking for myself and you! Stay strong... love hard....live life! Own your feelings! Music heals!!!

I haven't listened to this album since high school. But listening to it now, makes me realize how much I missed it.

Never apologize for showing or sharing your emotions.. You have so much love coming your way from all your fans including me.. Love you and feel so blessed to have found you on RU-vid.. 🙏😊❤

Thanks for sharing. I’m 49 I saw Metallica live many times and they helped me mourn my dads death i was 13 I didn’t understand at the time. But it hit me around the time this album came out 5 yrs later. Peace love and keep being you.

Don't be sorry. Feeling love is the greatest. Your Grandparents are proud. Stay proud of what they gave you. Keep it real.

Metallica is badass...WOW THAT WAS LEGIT BEAUTIFUL... never heard this till now!

I know it's late, but from one old Metallica fan since I was 7 ..to another, we love you too

Sorry about your loss and the difficult times you had. You're fortunate that you had such a super grandparent who looked after you, and he and your gran clearly did a great job. I hope your mom is doing well now, and for you, may the hard times be few and far between. You're spreading a love of music here, and look at all the love you're getting in return for doing it! I LOVE you guys. From a Canadian white woman who got out of high school in 19**. LOL! Peace.

Wow. That was the most authentic reaction I've ever seen anyone have to a song. Specifically to Metallica and I've seen hundreds of them. God bless man.

When the music conveys emotions without lyrics you know it's art and soul. Love Metallica. I know that loss. My grandfather was my world. 💜

I've never listened to Metalica but that was an AWAZING tune!! You are being REAL..don't apologize you are on the right path and we LOVE the reactions you and (sometimes) your twin!?!? do :-) Keep up the awesome work.

THE FEELS ARE REAL!!! That part hits me every single time. it's so crazy good, feelin your channel! i'm in!

You are such a precious soul, I know your grandpa is looking over you and is so proud of you. Please keep doing what you do as it brings much happiness to us, your audience. Thank you.

Bless you and bless your grandpa. Thank you for your heartfelt emotions.

Awww darling... firstly, can I just thank you for being such a light. Ive been watching your videos since the start of summer and have been so entertained by your reactions but this just makes me want to give you such a hug! You and your twin bro are loved by so many, keep the head up and know you are both on to big things! Much love ♥️♥️

Such a powerful song. My Mom in Love suffered from dementia and we cared for her at home. She always Loved and prayed for us. Seeing /. Going thru this is LIFE Changing. It is songs like this that help us get the Love and the pain out. Hugging u!
