WHO HURT THEM?! | Rap Fan Listens To METALLICA - Sad But True (REACTION!) 

"drummer carries them to the next level" sheds tear for someone understanding hes not bad

Everyone tries to be "good" but no matter what, everyone has a dark "bad" side inside them. Sad but true! He's describing the bad part inside us all.

Why have you thought all Metallica songs are love songs?😂😂

The group metallica is full of really nice and funny people acctually. u wouldn’t think that because of their music

I had 35 minutes face to face with James, when I gave him his guitar, he is one of the nicest guys ever and totally focused...family is first😊

"Why do they play like they're angry?" Because actually there is anger that drives alot of the music. Anger from childhood experiences etc. Rock has been equally cathartic for the writer and the listeners. Cheers

He says "I'm You" at the end. I think the song is about his inner demons.

Angry? You should see the big goofy grin on James Hetfield’s face when he’s about to take stage.

I think this is about addictions. No matter what they may be. My personal favorite.

Metallica Black album and previous are amazing. They are also all about lyrics. I may not have had the lyrics in hand the first time I heard the songs but I did check them out later.

"Y'all didn't have the lyrics in front of you the first time you listened..." Dude, the lyrics used to come printed on the album cover booklets, for tapes and, later, CDs, lol. 😂 I miss that.

The singers name is James Hetfield he saw the newspaper listing for a lead singer that’s how he and Lars Ulrich the drummer met and the band began

The lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is the nicest guy in Metal. Love ya, Kirk

I googled the meaning for you. What is the meaning behind Sad but true? It is how your past and decisions build you and have a result over your future. And it is "" that you can't escape your past and your fears build by it and that the future has already been written by your past decisions. The song itself puts the story from the POV of your "life" (future and past).

4:50 "What is he even singing about" The answer to that is in the first verse. "I'm your life"

Wherever I may roam is another great one from the same album!!!

I always read the lyrics actually. Lyrics are important to every great song.

Next one needs to be Four Horsemen. Can't wait to see your reaction.

This song is about the two sides of people. The "false mask" you present to the world. And the "inner self" that you hide away.

I love how when they play this live and he introduces this song he says “now it’s time for one of our happy tunes.....SAD BUT TRUEUEEEE”

“Is this a love song?” *laughs in James Hetfield*

I was holding lyrics When I first heard it.

I'm loving your Metallica reactions, please keep them coming... Having said that, I couldn't help but notice how you mentioned how "We" meaning those other than you, didn't have lyrics when we first listened to them, in this case Metallica. Well you might be surprised to find out that back in the day, CD's, and even cassette tapes, came with a tiny booklet with all the lyrics of all the songs within them, so indeed some of us did have the lyrics when first listening to Metallica/whoever, but do it with the lyrics/without, however you wish, but it's only doing yourself a disservice if not...

I've always interpreted this song as being about losing control of oneself because of addiction or some other inner demon. Perhaps the slow creep of the sum of all of your small compromises and misdeeds eventually taking over to become who you are. You can't escape your past. Also, I strongly recommend you review the S & M version of any future Metallica tracks you review. Mind blowing. Good ones to consider (excluding songs I think you already reviewed): Wherever I May Roam No Leaf Clover Bleeding Me I dont think there are S & M versions of these songs, but they are total bangers that you will love: King Nothing Ain't Your Bitch Tuesday's Gone Turn the Page Through the Never

One thing I will FOREVER LOVE about this song is the echos of his vocals in some parts! Like when I lay down in my bed in the middle of the night with my eyes close it feels like my soul is slowly leaving my body...that's what every metallica song makes me feel and I LOVE IT \m/!!!

OMG you are correct. Enjoy it and react to it any way you wish. Thanks for making these!

Your Channel, Your Rules and I got 100% respect for them. Love your channel broski.

Your definitely a rocker!!!! 🤘

"I dont get these lyrics!" Me : Maybe read them... 👀

“Is this a love song?” Famous last words 😂

The lyrics they come up with are absolutely amazing!!!! LOVE these guys!!❣️

Back then the lyrics came on the inside of the cassette case. So yes, we had the lyrics in hand when we first heard the song. But all the power to you, no lyrics needed to enjoy metallica

When I was your age and younger, CDs were the most popular way to hear new music other than MTV, and the radio. I would sit and listen to a new album and read the lyric sheet, which was usually included in the CD booklet. So some of us who recommend that you read the lyrics do so because you often say you have no idea what the song is about.

Love these reactions, is cool seeing people expecting there taste in music.

It's impossible not to headbang at least a little bit when this song is playing :)

Love ur reaction man!

Idk how in the hell I ended up on this video this morning but it made me happy 😊 thank you

The fact that we watched this man turn into a metallica fan 🥲 I feel like a parent

Singing about all the dark in us all. On a side note you are now a head banger like them glad to have you among us, cheers.

Telling us you want to hear it like we did for the first time... mad respect!

The song is a person's personal addiction talking to them until said person realizes that the addiction and they are 1 in the same

It's about the pain suffering and loss that comes with Substance Use Disorder.Keep rocking! I'm digging deep into rap.

JoJo is the kind of dude you want to stand next to at a Metallic concert. 💯❤️

This is the best react channel, always respects the solos!

Seen Metallica 8 times and James Hatfield was never angry, actually the opposite! These guys are a family and the fans are part of that family!! Fun, and a great release🤘🏻🤘🏻🤟🏻

One of the few songs that they kept a steady head bomping flow from beginning to end. The reverb bass is sick as hell.

So great to see a younger fan.

I was reading the lyrics when I listen to them, maybe not the first time but later on. Lyrics are important in Metallica songs but you can just go with the feeling as well, you're just missing out sometimes. Not everything written is literal, a lot is abstract like poetry and it can mean a different thing to different persons even if the writer had a specific idea in mind. A lot of artists never say what their creation is about to let people make it their own. That's art.

It is how your past and decisions build you and have a result over your future. And it is "Sad but true" that you can't escape your past and your fears build by it and that the future has already been written by your past decisions. The song itself puts the story from the POV of your "life" (future and past).

I don’t know why, but I love the intros so much

Watching this man vibe makes me smile lol

you NEED to listen to the day that never comes, its one of their recent songs but its definitely one of their best!

❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is what is known as head banging music !!!

actually, when I got a new cassette...(back then we had cassettes and records)..we would get the tape and read every word on the liner notes, lyrics,etc....memorizing every producers and mixing studios,etc...while we listened to the album...but that was my experience growing up

I woke up and saw this and jumped right into it! Knew you would like this one. James does look intimidating when he is at the mic. But then he smiles and he looks completely different. Lol

Sad but true sounds awesome live ... Jason really shines on this one he was so heavy yo 🤘😎

i always took this to mean that you are your own worst enemy. it doesn't explain that its talking about you until the very end of the song. This song really resonates with me, as i was forced to grow up at a very young age and now i have that dejavu feeling of, been there done that with everything. therefore i hold myself back from enjoying life or doing anything remotely fun because i have always had to be the responsible one. Responsible for my siblings, the workload of the house, my father (who avoided home like the plague) all while maintaining honor roll in school and everything else.

To me, he is referring to the inner man in all of us. The darkness inside.😀❤️

We were holding lyrics came with the tape cassette... I misss that

I believe that this song is talking about the inner feeling, the negative emotions that we face sometimes and sadly is all in us. We make them real. This is sad but true.

One of my favorite songs by them

We live for the aggressive of heavy Metal 🤘

For me...I grew up being abused..this song described me..hiding away inside..till I had the strength and courage to scream...enough!!! This song helped me know I wasnt alone..and I didnt have to pay for love with pain...

Bro…miss you so much!

For future reference, I recommend HERO OF THE DAY, NO LEAF, CLOVER,and CREEPING DEATH. CREEPING DEATH talks about the Exodus when Pharoah Ramses wouldn't let the Hebrew people go when the Prophet Moses warned him what would happen if he didn't

In the intro part: "is it a love song?" OMFG XD

You said "...somee kinda Galaxy hammer..." literally as it dropped in, great fluke 😂😂😂

There’s a lot of metaphors in this song. Also life is hard

Its you deep inside, behind your cover how you expose yourself. Like an inner demon

This song is about the darkness... The darkness that is in every one of us. Most of us try steer clear of it as much as possible, but it is there... And there are times when it does rise to the surface and these are the moments we are at our worst. This song is about the darkness we are all trying to hold back.

This song is about past choices impacting your own future.

U saw Anger on stage? I saw intense Excitement. Just happiness letting loose of all the troubles n pains we go through in life with Loud Heavy rebellious music

this song is about the part of you that tells you to do bad and we all know it's in us sad but true! WE all have that little demon inside us! Some of us listen to it some of us don't but it's a constant fight to listen to it or not but it's always there talking to us egging us on sad but true!

‘Tallica dudes! Rock on! 🤘🏽

You would be surprised on how wholesome and kind the lead singer (James) truly is! 😌

LMAO!! 🤣 “Hot sauce and toenails” Hahaha!

You can't deny the power of this music!

It’s pretty much about the darkness we all have inside us that gets us through life when we need it too.

Anger is a Gift

This is a song about reality. And reality is sometimes sad, but true

The Memory Remains

Totally agree. We didn't read lyrics while listening to these songs

Actually when you buy an album a lot of us do sit there and read the lyrics with the album. It's part of the experience for some of us. Some of us.

Hey you did it!

One of my all time favorite Metallica songs

Surprised people aren't telling you about Metallica's song "Creeping Death" or "The Day That Never Comes" or even Megadeth's "Tornado of Souls" which has one of the most famous metal solos in history.

Put your emotions and make them flow just go with the feeling you want people to feel it's just a great push of emotions that's what makes it so great I know I feel it and that's what I like to feel like it ain't about just hurting nobody it's just a rage that comes out of you that makes you feel good like a drug

The difference between listening to rap lyrics and metal lyrics is simple. Basically, rap lyrics are having a conversation, talking to you. Metal lyrics are poetry, riding the waves of emotion.

The lyrics are a part of the song, they help you understand the deeper meaning, but you can’t overthink them

James, an outcast from a strict religious home, had to skip classes that challenged their beliefs. His mom died of cancer (no medical care in their religion) Many songs reflect the anger & pain of those early yrs.

"Hot sauce and toenails for breakfast 😋 lmfao. Some old lady cut them off at the grocery store." Oh my goodness the giggles I'm suffering now

Actually I usually did have the lyrics in my hand while I was laying on my bed listening to it on my Walkman. When I got older I’d pop in a new album while I made myself some food with my favorite metal magazine ready to go while I listen. That was my weekly payday ritual when I was single.

You need to watch more live music from them!!

Fair point on unexpected unions between tone and title. It had a tendency to make sense in a James Hetfield kinda way. This one was a particularly catchy song in the capture of a self-defeat theme.

Tune !!! 🤟🎸 1,2,3 headbang

Everyone should be as open to different musical styles as this guy is. There is no reason someone can't love Metallica, Tupac, Sinatra, Mozart, The Cure, and The Carpenters all at the same time.

Actually....when we got cassettes the lyrics would be inside and we would open up this huge pamphlet and read along with pics and info on the band. I had their posters all over my walls

Okay, to try and answer a few questions for ya, ( maybe some other followers can elaborate if I’m wrong) but, yes it’s a general sense they play angry. Between the way he sings and the way they play, it just naturally instills a sense of anger. In reality, James Hetfield’s voice is perfect to convey that. The drummer, Lars Ulrich, (notoriously said to be one of the worst heavy metal drummers) is actually on of the innovators with his use of the pedals on the bass drums. Lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett, was in another band when Metallica was starting out. They went to the club after hearing about him and (asked, persuaded, I don’t know) but he joined them and none of them ever looked back. The are the most legendary rock (or heavy metal) band (however some people want to rate them) to exist. A lot of their songs have a message. Master of Puppets- drugs. Sad but true- inner demons. The struggle within- dealing with cancer. Hope this helps with some of your questions about them. Keep rockin.

You understand Rap lyrics but not Rock ? That's the funniest statement I've heard all day ! 🤔😂

This album had a lyric sheet with it when you bought it new.
