James Hetfield’s most depressing song

[Elias_a]

years back, I wanted to just end it all. Planned everything, before going on with my plan I decided to listen to this song. I wanted it to be the last thing to ever hear, to get my emotions out and help me go through with the plan, but it had the opposite effect on me, somehow the music, the lyrics, gave me power to keep fighting in this fked up life. Now, my life is not perfect, quite far from it, but I’ve never considered ending things at all and never will.. this song saved my life and every times i’m super overwhelmed, I just listen to it and it just clears my mind and soul. Thank you Metallica. And thank you James. ❤

I'm seeing them in May for the first time, can't wait

[RisingSun]

Best metal ballad hands down, it perfectly sums up dealing with the existential dread that is life at times

[josevera]

One of the first song I learned in bass guitar 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[felixanima]

It’s Dyers Eve their most depressing song.

[WAWASDD]

I just love the lost bass solo at the end

[JCO]

Not therapeutic anymore. Now it has a whole new meaning for my life 😢

Man, shred knows more music theory than my professor. Lol

I don’t think any Metallica song will ever hit for me like Sad But True. When I realized what the song was about, (James and his problems with substance abuse) it just put an edge on it I can’t find in many other songs.

My Favorite Metallica song 🤘 Can't explain how I feel when I listen to it, But it feels right

[smartmart]

Fuckin tune my favourite band since I was old enough to appreciate music 1988 ish seen them live twice their music saved me a few times

[oiron]

mine is contemplation of the beautiful, its just amazing. it has a sad feeling to it, but also that there is so much more to (existence and non-existence) than you

[BA]

I’d learn towards turn the page but I’m well aware that’s not actually their song I remember watching the music video for that as a kid and it left quite the sad impression.

Im just getting into Metallica, I only really know their big hits and naturally I thought for whom the bell tolls was a banger so I decided to listen the ride the lighting as a whole

When fade to black played I immediately fell in love with the beginning solo it made my jaw drop, it's such a beautiful song 🙏

[TexasSmoking]

Mama said is their most depressing song.

[Mr.D.Michael]

Nailbomb - 'Sick Life' is far more terminal, must be heard 😂

[GrandpaJams]

Any song that bob rock produced is depressing to me.

I love Fade to Black, Metallica’s depressing song for me is Low Man’s Lyric, something about it just makes me uncomfortable.
