Darius Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My newest video. In it, James Hetfield from "Metallica" talks about his painful childhood, his relationship with his abusive parents, and how it influenced his music. I included my comments and observations in a form of hard-burned closed captions. Apologies for poor audio quality. These were the best clips I could find, and sound filters didn't help improve it, either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6XD1MPzF_A 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGP Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Darius, thanks for posting. That was really excellent, especially with the annotations. I did not know this about "One" but the St. Anger album has resonated with me strongly. For me, it represents legitimate grievance and judgement. I think it has helped me get in touch with my anger a little so far but it is emerging in me every day a little more when I look back on things. I've even come up with a little saying: "Burn anger and fan the flames with virtue". That's the way I'm thinking of it at the moment. Cheers for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thank you for your feedback and for sharing some of your own experiences, PGP! To me, Metallica's lyrics are quite interesting, especially knowing personal histories of people who wrote them. Even the names of the songs are very telling. For example, songs on the "St. Anger" album are named "Invisible Kid," "The Unnamed Feeling," "All Within My Hands," and so on. The album name itself, Saint Anger, tells you quite a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
