"Screaming Suicide addresses the taboo word of suicide,” says James Hetfield. "The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it's a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.”
Yes! But ppl will still bag on it cuz it’s not dark and moody and doesn’t sound like something from the 80’s. I LOVE 80’s Metallica. My fave. But this is still kick ass and has a good message. They aren’t the Master era Metallica and that’s fine by me. They’re still the best there is.
@@donaldbrackin4892 But in the mind of a suicide you're not going to make that assessment. Think about it. And then factor in drugs, alcohol. Could be a death sentence. This group should know better. One size does NOT fit all.
you mean how large platforms have to be careful people dont post pro suicide media so they put a generic warning to make sure they are covered? no yeah...its cuz its taboo thats why they put viewer discretion....*rolls eyes*
Dear BRvid, do not censor this video, hiding a problem does not help the problem to disappear but rather makes the problem act like an invisible monster that kills you when you least expect it. As the title of the Metallica song says: Sad but true.
I lost my father last year in April through suicide. I wished he would've talked more with me about his demons ( Army veteran served in Iraq) and his issue with my mom. I think this song would've helped my dad. He was a Metallica fan too. Wish you were here dad love you! I miss you so much!
You, my friend are not alone. USMC 0323 E6 1992-2002. I've lost many a brother, and sadly my father in 2007. I'll never really know why he gave in to his demons, but like you, I'll miss him forever wishing he would have talked to me or ANYONE about them. I followed his footsteps into service but I can't follow him where he went. I have four sons and five daughters of my own and won't be leaving them wondering about me the way I do him. War takes it's toll and sometimes it seems that toll is paid after the smoke and fire has cleared for the rest of us. For my father, and others, and maybe yours, that fire and loss follows them home. I try to remember this as I remember all the good he and his lost brothers have done, the love he showed to them all and my brother sister and I, rather than the finality and loss that I felt the day I was told what his solution to the pain he was carrying led him to do. For a long time I tried to be angry at him. Now I just wish he could see what his legacy has become as I watch his grandchildren grow into the people I know he would be proud of. Life carries on, but the light is just a little dimmer without him. Build something that will endure, and try to help those who's demons haunt them, trying to let them know they are not alone. They don't need to suffer alone. I'll add your father to the monument to the fallen I carry in my soul. God bless brother.
@@artexatrayu8930 thanks brother! strong words and thank you for your service. I tried to follow his steps too and joined the german army (I grew up in Germany). He'd tried to talked it out of me. I stayed in for a while and followed his advice and went out with any combat experince. So I have a big respect and honor for those who were in combat. And by the time my regrets become less as I see what kinda man I became without the military and made him proud without it also. The german army isn't like the US Army lol the US Army felt like more family to me because I grew up with the Army. Actualy I wanted to join the USMC or US Army, lol. But that's a different story. Anyway his grandchild- my daughter was born about 2-3 weeks later after his death. That hurted so much and everytime I see my daughter I have to think about my dad, how proud he would be. This is so sad and so wrong. sorry for my bad english. It been a while since my dad died I don't have anyone to talk in english. God bless you and for all the lost souls!
This song is so close to my heart, and my favourite Metallica song to date. As someone who faced depression and an attempt in the past, the song and the lyrics really tell you how one feels. “Craving dopamine” “are you good enough” “you should just give up” “keep me inside my name is suicide” “you’re the one who’s to blame” are just few words in the song that describes depression. And to those who are suffering, like I did, keep fighting man, keep fighting this voice inside you! Don’t let it speak your name, and let it blame you for what’s going on with you! You got this! You are better than this! You are a fighter, my man, a goddamn fighter! BRvid should not censor this video, as it teaches you on how to fight crippling depression! Anyways, much love to you all, and wishing nothing, but the best for you all. Thank you, Metallica, for making this wonderful song.
@@hmm8183 lmao Yeah, it does exist. What do you mean “weak mindset”? Depression is literally either a chemical imbalance in your brain, or causes by some awful event (or string of events). You can’t just say “smile more : ))” to cure your depression. Yes, you should seek help and not shove the responsibility of you getting better onto other people, but it absolutely isn’t as easy as changing your mindset.
I know that the thought police get themselves twisted up at the use of the word "suicide". As someone who has struggled with my darker side, I want to thank Metallica for having the courage and artistic integrity to take this subject on. This song is NOT about suicide, it's about overcoming those destructive negative thoughts and living a worthwhile life.
Lost one of my best friends to suicide just under two years ago, and almost myself this January. I’m so appreciative of this song, hopefully someone hears it and it gives them hope, thank you Metallica, and thank you James for your beautiful message
Such a shame that governments don't listen and provide appropriate mental health services/facilities for those who are suffering mental illness.SOOO fking tempted to play this song at the local(completely inadequate & largely incompetent) mental health "service".People are dying😢Rock on❤
I'm 55 myself, and saw these guys back in 1986 in Chicago and it's STILL one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I've been able to teach my youngest (16) about the great songs Metallica, and bands like Sabbaton MADE in the past, now he gets to hear and see something new with Dad.
Metallica have gotta be the most HONEST bands-you speak my TRUTH.❤People who have absolutely no understanding or insight try to tell me that listening to metal is only making me more depressed and suicidal-NOT TRUE-it's(sadly😢)relatable.❤ you guys.Every best wish to my fellow Metallica Family members,may you find peace and healing.
If it wasnt for metallica helping me through the traumas i endured in the foster system as a kid, and being lucky enough to have a guitar in my hands from a dear friend i wouldnt be a guitarist for my own band today. Live for the shred 🤘
Thanks Metallica for this song. There's some nights that I can't sleep, thinking about why am I still here if I just disappoint everyone that loves me. Thinking about if it's still worthy to be alive and try to be a better person when you can't see the light coming anymore. I have so much difficult to forgive myself about the things I did, I'm feeling like a monster. But this song gave me the opportunity to see that things can change one day... I couldn't be more grateful to you guys, thank you very much ❤
If you disappoint everyone, I dare suggest they arent the best company, whether they are friends or family. Find people that accept you totally as you currently are, while you continue to genuinely do your best.
I cannot figure out the negativity that I've read about this new release. This whole album rocks big time. I'm very glad that every song is not like Puppets over and over again. I love this band. I love the black album. So f'ing what.
This song kicks some serious ass. You can really hear on this album they’re going back to the roots alittle and I LOVE IT! Might be the best song they’ve released in 20 years imo.
i think this song is a true testament to the human will to simply live… or to find a reason to. i think that all of us here have thought about, considered as i have, or even attempted suicide. i ask all of you to remember, you are not alone. you are all loved beyond words. stay strong, friends.
I’ve always struggled with mental health, and this past year has been extremely difficult after losing a friend. Music was the only thing keeping me alive at some points. So glad to see Metallica choosing to talk about it and actively choosing life. They’re not young, they’ve had their struggles, but they choose to keep on creating and honestly they’re doing better than ever.
LONG LIVE METALLICA!!! I’ve been listening to them from the very beginning in the early 80s. And I still listen to the old and new music to this day!!!
This hits I lost my mom last year I have muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy both an fight the thoughts of suicide all the time. Thanks Metallica for still making bad ass music love y’all. 🤘🤘
Buddy, Metallica makes us stronger.I have read a lot of comments, people share their thoughts.Situations are different, hard.Just another one day here, just one more song,one more blue sky, one more smell of fresh air.Finally with all our troubles these days are what we have .Greeting from Russia
Exactly the same 🤟 I was the only girl at my school listening to them, I had MetallicA written over my black leather school satchel! I am 46 now too! Love those guys!! Peace and love from Norway 🖤
This is right up there with spit out the bone and the day that never comes as best Metallica songs of the past 25 years.. this song absolutely steals the album to me.. not only is the message deep but it’s an absolute masterpiece from a musical perspective.. these gentlemen are the GOATS
I discovered Metallica with a "single'" cassette tape at a radio station event when they were releasing the Black album. Enter Sandman was my introduction and And Justice For All is my favorite album. All these years later, they're still killing it.
My cousin introduced me to Metallica back in 1991 when the Black Album came out. He was a few years older than me and I remember thinking I had just discovered an undiscovered country when I heard Metallica and the Black Album for the first time. I’ve been a fan of Metallica and Heavy Metal ever since. For me though, Master of Puppets is my favorite album from them.
For people who keep the thought of committing suicide inside, I think that watching this video and listening carefully to the lyrics of the song could save your life.
This song is a really underrated and probably the best songs ever to be spoken by words. It has so much meaning and this song brought me to tears because it spoke to me. I remember the day where i had that knife to my leg contemplating it but this song came just in time. This song means so much to me. It helped me get through school with social media bullying and harassing me that i just tune everyone out and listen to this. Cant wait to get my guitar back and cover this. It's a beautiful and meaningful from the heart song. (BRvid don't censor this video. People need to hear this. Sure,Cancel some popular youtubers for swearing barely once but sensor a music video. :/)
I'm really grateful for being exposed to Metallica and their amazing songs and members! I'm only 18 and have listened to these guys for a year and I'm glad i did. James, Kirk, Lars, and Roberto are super chilled guys who love to rock out and make music. I'm at the darkest point in my life and I'm still battling my demons of depression gender dysphoria and anxiety, but listen to whiplash or this song for example has helped me feel good about myself a little bit. I got inspired by Kirk and James to start my own band and learn how to play the guitar. Thank you James, Kirk, Lars, and Roberto for helping me survive another day.
@@augustocesarmarques4052 sim. Há outras homenagens também como podemos ouvir por exemplo na faixa Shadows Follow, onde tem uma passagem de guitarra praticamente idêntica ao tema clássico da antiga série do Batman.
Welcome to this life Born into the fight Here to claim your dream Look you in the eye Patch the broken sky Craving dopamine Then my voice appears Teaching you of fears Are you good enough? You don't recognize Head is full of lies You should just give up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don't ever speak my name Remember, you're to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Curse another day Spirit locked away Punish and deprive Hate to be awake Living a mistake More dead than alive Then a voice appears Whisper in your ears "You're good enough" Throwing down a rope A lifeline of hope Never give you up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don't ever speak my name Remember, you're to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Terrified in sleepless nights Caught in spotlight, dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you're left behind My lying voice inside Keeps drinking cyanide And no more can you run Into the sun Terrified, sleepless nights Caught in spotlight, dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you're left behind And now you speak my name You've given back the blame Keep me deep inside Don't you keep me inside Screaming suicide Now that I'm exposed inside Shined a light on cyanide I'm no longer needed here Now you've faced your biggest fear Nice
I'll be honest been a longgggg time metallica fan, the vocals on this song sound amazing. I haven't felt the vocal sound has been that great since re-load. This to me is like old school metallica
The day this album was announced my sister passed away from addiction. I’ve been battling depression since and now this…. This speaks volumes. Thank you to my favorite band of all time!
So sorry for your loss, and I hope you find all the strength you need to keep on keeping on, and overcome the dark demons within...I think you will, and your sister needs you to :) All the very best to you!!
Metallica is elemental. Like fire and water. They are a symbol, untouchable for all time. I remember my mom yelling at her boyfriend that he couldn't listen to that " METALLICA " In the house when the kids were there. That was how I discovered them. 7 years old, Metallica has been a part of my life ever since. That was 1990. I didn't know they were popular for anyone else, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I didn't even know what a big deal was, I just knew this music was right. "Life for our own to live our own way", that world may be gone, but METALLICA LIVES ON FOREVER.
As someone whos under the age of 20 i can confirm gen z people even like rock too, especially some with meaning and how it talks about how suicide affects the human body, so thanks metallica for writing this song.
I'm 19, only been a fan since 2021. The fact that I get to witness new Metallica as it comes out even though they're 40 years into their career is amazing. And it's great quality, too. I'm all for it!
Just turned 19 in November, and Metallica has been my favorite band from Middle School and my High School years. I just wish we had one of there songs as class song instead of something newer.
Хорошо, что они подняли эту тему. Так больно узнавать о самоубийствах музыкантов. Курт Кобейн, Честер Беннингтон, сотни, тысячи их. Вроде всё хорошо, улыбаются, всемирно известны, добились успеха, бац и нету. На днях узнал о самоубийстве крутейшего безладового басиста Киник/Циников Шона Мэлоуна Cynic’s Sean Malone в 2020 и так больно стало 😳🤭😦😧😢😖😭
MetallicA on form, with a very important message, you are not alone! This song is about talking about things that we think we cant, how we deal with death is just as important as how we deal with life. This is a shining example of why bands like MetallicA are so so important and why they are always relevant and so needed to not just entertain us, but to help us all! Thank you MetallicA for writing a brilliant song and a great video.
You can hear James' voice changed a bit, but that's not a bad thing at all. It perfectly fits this song, and i really hope there will be more songs like this one
That's because his voice is back. I feel like he lost a sound a bit through the 2000s. He's back on track this decade for sure. Reminds me of his sound on Load and ReLoad.
I’ve been a Metallica fan since I was a little kid these guys absolutely amazing artists……. But I have the one request I know will fall on deaf ears if there ever comes a day they decide they’re done I want one more pure speed thrash metal album from Metallica!!!!!!!! Hopefully I’m not the only one and I know they’ve still got one in them
@@deathevokation1017 I’m fully aware, and for the record, it’s called a figure of speech. A simile, if you will. The use of the word ‘like’ should have given it away. I didn’t think I’d actually need to qualify it.
I may be a self crippling 14 year old, but if there’s one thing I fell in love with, and will love my whole life, is music. Music with passion, not just some words mixed with a beat people make for money and to look cool, to play, to alert, to enjoy. Metallica has fallen down a hill, and help eachother back up, while hearing everyone else climbing up with them. I see their color. I feel their music. I understand what they are saying. Not to do the whole “but oh well they will never see this 🥺😭” but truly I don’t think they will but it doesn’t fully change a lot. It would be great, I mean I am a fan still, of the millions that is, but also letting people know. Love your music. See your musics color with eyes closed. Feel what it’s telling you.
This is one of my favorites songs of the new album, I like the riffs and also I can understand the topic, suic*de is something that I had to deal with sometimes.. I really love Metallica 🔥
@@Tenshi_Tenshi_1703 i actually opened this account as my official chat account so i can have a little time for my fans and know how some of you feel about me and the band precisely.
As a grieving mother whose son ended his life at age 36-this hit me right in the feels and I was almost afraid to listen to it. Thank you for speaking out with this wonderful song.
As someone who has struggled with mental (and physical) health most of my life, this really resonates. I'm in a much better place now thankfully mostly (mentally at least). Though for many years I couldn't listen to Fade to Black as it cut just that bit too close to the bone for me for years. I'm really looking forward to the new album on the strength of the 3 songs released so far.
My favourite song from the new album out of the three so far. I know I will listen to it for years. There just aren't bands like this anymore. Just hope to see them live before they die...
Yeah. I was disappointed with Justice and Black albums. They seemed to be struggling (I thought) after Cliff's passing, but they are coming back. And honestly...now that I've grown up, their Justice and Black albums are good too.
This is Ride The Lighting Metallica with a blitzkrieg pace, but with polished production. RTL was all about war, the death penalty, the old testament and also suicide. Sreaming Suicide is another song with meaning. Love this track!
