The entire crowd seemed to know every word to all of their songs every time I saw them in concert.

Elton John has said this is the best song ever written. High praise from someone so legendary himself.

As someone who knows nothing, about Heavy metal music. I love love this song... A ballad with grit.

Always love a live reaction, but you need to hear the studio version as well (always) :)

"Wherever I May Roam" (if you haven't heard it yet) will getcha. It's deep, but not depressing.a masterpiece.

Metallica "One" official music video. One of the greatest metal songs of all time. Amazing solo in there!

He hesitated bringing this song to the band thinking it wasn’t good enough for what they usually do - it’s become one their most famous songs.

true story here - the song about James's girlfriend was Kristen. I met her several times. At that time, she was good friends with my girlfriend - but I never really understood how that ever came to be. James was in the hospital in summer 92. I had comped tickets to see them because of who i knew but that show w/ Guns and Roses in Oakland, CA was postponed as James was burned in an on-stage accident w/ some of the pyrotechnics. While he was in the hospital, Kristen was asked to move out of his house in Novato, CA as their relationship had ended at that point (don't really know why or who decided - that was not my business) but it was me and my girlfriend who came and helped her pack and move her stuff out of James's house before he came home from the hospital. She was stunningly beautiful - every bit the look of a rockstar's girlfriend, and he let her keep the brand new cherry red ZR1 Corvette. I'll never forget that hanging out at his place - starstruck on the gold & platinum albums and awards and such. I dont know what ever happened to Kristen, but I know she was paid handsomely (millions) to keep her details of their relationship out of the media. My girlfriend and I parted ways about 3 or 4 months later and only seen her once since. But I'll never forget that day.

This song was played at my brother’s funeral. Every time I hear this song it puts me straight in my feels

There is nothing like seeing Metallica live! And James is a master at writing lyrics! While you may not like their songs so much if you aren’t into metal everyone can relate to their lyrics. He puts it down in ways that the listener can always interpret them unto themselves.

That little homage to Hendrix at the beginning was beautiful.

Love it, too. They never expected this to be the hit it became. And those were their old voices. There is an official video with their youthful voices. This song has a universal quality that has touched people everywhere---across genres. It has been covered by people from various genres and features some of the most beautiful guitar I've heard in my lifetime (67yo). Thank you for your reaction, POLO. 💜

I like the fact that you read about the song so you understand it better. This is one of my favorite older bands. Keep expanding yo mind!

This was my wedding song. It still holds a special place in my heart.

Seek And Destroy, Battery and Creeping Death are some great Hammett solos as well. The man is a genius and a legend, as are they all.

I fell in love with this song when I was 11 yo. My brother was listening to his "cassettes" lol(this was 1993 or 4 guys) and I was just like omg... that was it. I fell in love with all albums he had. We bought more and more as we got older and saw them live as often as we could.

Thank you guys for rocking with me. What is you ALL TIME fav track from Metallica? Don't forget to drop a like on your way out.

Damn Polo, I like your rhythm, meaning you are picking up exactly what they are dropping and yes, it does give you goosebumps when it has parallel context!! The thing is most if not all of their songs do! Yes, the anticipation and change ups in tempo are the smoothest transitions I’ve ever seen! It’s really cool to see someone with eclectic taste venture for more. The best ever is Metallica in Moscow - Enter Sandman and Creeping Death will def give you the chills. The Berlin Wall just came down and I think there’s like 1.6 million people in the crowd! To this day still holds the record for the largest live concert. Military helicopters flying over the top, but the crowd and Metallica didn’t have anymore F’s to hand out.

Definitely a favorite of mine! Love, love, love them!

This song was their first that wasn't really hard. It came after the band took a year-long break for the singer, James Hetfield, to go through therapy. The result of his therapy, which this song spells out, was that - for the first time in his life - he could take time out from being defensive and hard all the time and be open, gentle, sensitive when he needs to and express his feelings - a true breakthrough for him. This song was a revelation!!! It broke the fans' hearts - we all felt so deeply for James and the pain he went through - and this recovery that allowed him to be sensitive for the first time, to take a break from his anger. And it's lasted. He''s been a changed man ever since. The later song, The Unforgiven, probably also would never have happened if it hadn't been for that year of guided introspection that James took.

You really need to checkout the S&M Album version of this with an orchestral backing. In my mind it's incredible.

I am so glad you are going on this journey with us and learning more about metal and its people. Edit: also you reading the lyrics beforehand makes thio special, I find that incredible, thank you!

You have to see them ' Live in Moscow '

METALLICA is probably one of the best live shows ever!! ONE is a favorite of mine!

Hell yeah, Polo, my main Rap Encyclopedia of knowledge on the HMack reactions digging METAL. Btw, the riff at beginning is Jimi Hendrix “Third Stone from the Sun”. My man, you should check out Enter Sandman live Moscow ‘91. Hard to believe they basically started as a garage band . 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Greatest!!! Love love love Metalllica. Best band still today. Never gets old listening to them.

Polo, you have kept me up all night binge watching your videos!

Also watch the official video for this song pretty cool

I love that they’re showing the beloved and endangered elephants. This song reminds me of the Moody Blues’ “ Nights In White Satin”.

Ah good old times. Nothing else matters was in the charts when I was in highschool and had my first heartbreak. Man I cried so much with this song on repeat.

Lars Ulrich the drummer never gets the praise he deserves! I think he is amazing! Great reaction

The lead singer is smashing solo is the best thing to watch James hetfield riff God 🤟🏼🔥❤ James hetfield wrote this song for his love while on tour and feeling shy to show this to his band members but lars listen this song and say it was beautiful you should work on this song and bang we got nothing else matters non metal fans love this song Last solo is my all time favourite ❤🔥🤟🏼 James hetfield is my favorite he help me so much in my bad times with his music❤✌

I'm not a big metal fan but these guys are great

I found this group when I was in elementary school around 4th or 5th grade and never looked back always loved their music but the way I’m 45 lol 😂 my only regret is not seeing them live but by the time I was old enough to they had pretty much stopped touring!!!

Hey Polo! Just binged trough your reactions and found the Metallica. Seeing someone light up listening to stuff I grew up with is amazing! You're experiencing what we did... and that makes you awesome. I'll suggest one for you from them... though it's an instrumental. Orion. That song, even though without words.. can take you on a journey I doubt you'd forget. Check out the studio track.. you lose something on the live version, if you ask me.

I listen to rap a lot but sometimes I take breaks so I can hear music from them or any other rock bands 🙌🏼

Just watched your MetallicA playlist, it was awesome man! They have always been my favorite band, hell, I have MetallicA tattoo and to watch you love it is so cool! Also, I'm mesmerized by the perpetual motion machine in the background 😄 Got yourself a new subscriber

Hey love your reactions... life is a reflection of music for all of us... appreciate watching and your reactions

This show was when James got detained at the airport after his plane landed. Airport security detained him for his "taliban-like" facial hair. They band had to perform their set later in the day.

They live to play live, and all their performances are miraculous. That being said, I implore you to also react to the studio version or the official video (preferred). I made this comment about "Fade to Black" also, and if you do them both that way, you'll see what I mean! They give you sweat, blood, and tears live, but in studio versions they give you countless hours of meticulous editing and planning to make every single sound exactly as they want you to hear it!

My nephew played this for me on my mom's guitar for my wedding.

That part from 1:29 for about 30 seconds isn't part of the song, but man, that was beautiful. First time I've heard Kirk play that.

"Whiskey in the Jar" is a great cover by Metallica.

That intro, in case no one else mentioned it, is a little tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

Hello from Cody Wyoming!! I have seen Metallica 5 times...they are SO AWESOME live

This was my wedding song. The version from S&M with the symphony orchestra!!🎉🎉😊

I know many people love live -- but you really should listen to the original studio version, it's far more intense and growly + that's the version everybody got hooked on, which is why they can sing along to this one... ;)

This was the first dance at my wedding

if this track does not stir any kind of emotions in a person regardless of what kind of music you represent in my eyes you have no soul. even my late father god rest his soul played this track in his final hours he was very old but appreciated the depth and pure talent this song blasts out.

Look up s&m 2 version of this one. They play with an orchestra.

You're awesome...you keep reacting and i will keep listening😁

TRUST I SEEK ANDI FIND IN YOU

Damn I always get goosebumps while hearing this song

Crazy as it sounds, Metallica and Miley Cyrus on Howard Stern show. Not kidding. 🎸🤟🏻

I’m 47. This takes me right back to high school. This is a very soft version of this song though.

I LOVE Metallica! I grew up listening to them. My brother, sister, and I literally fell asleep to this album every night for years! Their music will always hold a special spot in my heart. And to this day, whatever feelings I might be struggling with I’ll turn to their music to help get my feet back on level ground. If I’m upset, sad, stressed, angry, overwhelmed or can’t sleep, Metallica just helps me feel better. (and of course when I’m in a good mood it’s always fun to listen to) 💛💛I think you would love VoicePlay’s cover of this song! I am a huge Metallica fan, and I have NEVER like a Metallica cover until VoicePlay’s. It’s amazing! Please please take a look at it 💛💛

Those that say the version with the San Francisco Symphonic Orchestra are 100% correct You have to give that a listen.

Awesome reaction man 🔥 Metallica rocks

Love what your doing . I have so many suggestions 💯

Trust me, react to master of puppets live in Manchester 2019! That was a god level performance!

I've seen Metallica a few times, the first time I saw them was in 1986, I was a teenager and took my 16 yrs old sister with me. They were opening for Ozzy at Riverbend

The intro is the first thing I teach guitar students to make it seem accessible and possible. It's a wonderful song for young drummers to learn... but lead guitarists beware that's a hell of a solo.

metal singers are the best, they are able to sing softly and with total rage, alot of singers cant

🤘💝🤘This was my Wedding song 🎵 🤟✌️

The studio setting is way much better

Check out the Chris Stapleton cover and Miley Cyrus singing with Metallica on Howard Stern both amazing

The Metal Rock Ballad. Even Metal rockers wrote love songs. Elton John...said to James Hatfield, that this was beautiful and he wrote this song's piano because it has never been done.

my personal favorite songs of theirs are my friend of misery and the god that failed, so so good

You may have done so by now, but imHo this was just a mere reference to the powerful ballad that the actual studio version is. You MUST get to know that version too :)

Thank you for playing this, another song played at my son's funeral. His friends appreciated it much, they called themselves the "Nightriders". They wreaked havoc on our small town (innocent stuff) pretty funny stuff actually. But he was an extraordinary person, my son. If you knew him? You loved him ... nothing more. Peace to you...

Metallicas most famous ballard ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love it

Pearl Jam’s song Black on MTV Unplugged is a phenomenal performance.

If you want a real mind fk then listen to the Miley Cirus version (with the band no less). That might sound like a joke, but honestly it's worth a watch.

Discovering metallica is about understanding the load and reload albums man

This is a nice rendition, but you really need to listen to the live version they did with SF symphony orchestra, from the album S&M.

Found your channel with Free Bird, will love to see your reaction from a Rock in Spanish Master Band call Soda Stereo, ho for the song Prófugos from Gira me verás volver, it’s an awesome piece from the band with an incredible public

I would recommend you play Metallica's version of "Turn the Page" from Bob Seger.

Of the best Metallica ever. The story is THERE if you listen and identify.

The Kings 🤘

You need to check out nothing else matters live performance with hundred piece orchestra

Met always has the best.

Man, you deffo need to listen to the album version 👍🏽👍🏽

Your next visit should be Enter Sandman live in Moscow 1991

Another song that has unique, relatable lyrics and puts you in the headspace of another person (a homeless person) I'd love to see you react to Pearl Jam-Even Flow

Controlled rage

If you like the song massages from a different band in a different era the band is called kiss and they put it on a song called Beth and that was one of their better songs but yet it was so soft and mellow and so much feelings behind it that it became a classic another one from a different style of band completely from the Eagles it's called Seven Bridges Road that was about melody in harmony when they performed it.

Please listen to the original studio version. It will hit your heart.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but that intro was a Jimi Hendrix riff

You should listen to whereever I may roam from metallica. My absolute favourite from them!

This was the album that really showed that (sorry don't know members names) but this guy can sing and always better than his yelling, LOL

VoicePlay did their version of this song on my birthday this year. Please do react, it is gorgeous.

Man I would love to see you react to some Run the Jewels. Killer Mike and El-P are the greatest duo in hip hop, and nobody really knows. Check out "Ju$t", and you'll see what I'm talking about!

Metallica and Miley Cyrus recently performed this live on Howard Stern. She was born to sing Metal! Check it out!!!!

My wedding song

I'm just glad you didn't start with Enter Sandman, like many others. Must recommend their song Blackened, or Disposable Heroes.

This was a huge hit for them

Love that Kirk's guitar is a Ouija board!

There is a cover of this song by, of all people, Elton John and Miley Cyrus, but check out the live recording of Miley Cyrus singing with Metallica on the Hoeard Stern show where James talks about how this song came about.
