I love these guys! Their songs, the lyrics, have gotten me thru some times I thought I would never get thru. Cindy from Artesia, NmMetallica could sing anything and I would listen.I listen to Metallica when I run on my treadmill, listen to the lyrics and thank God I am no longer in that place, but can't afford not to remember how bad it can get. It speaks to the bottom and loneliness that addiction will bring. Wendy from West Des Moines, Ia As a newly recovering alcoholic, many treatment centers and a suicide attempt in my past "Fade to Black" has played a huge part in my recovery.I view this song as a sequel to One, in which each subject is wishing for death, and in Fade To Black he finally gets it. Nash from AustraliaAnyone else made the connection between Fade to Black and One?.Sim from Cleveland RocksThis song should be the “B-Side” to Beyond The Realms of Death by Judas Priest.Shaen from Kokomo IndianaThis song was really meaningful when I went through an extreme depression.Blarinaaron Bassman from So Cal I EI am 60 yrs young I have father's 4 good children have10 children 2 x wives a 30+yrs in the union and playing a solid baddass bass line sinse1974 all of a suddin nobody needs me or wants me even though my fire is far from out what the f-k have I done I'm not the suacidel tipe but if there is a grater power running things I feel I wish he'd take me.Evan from Calgary AbHands down the best song ever.I also play a mean air guitar, mostly lead! Axld from Mtb TrailsAwesome song, been a fan since the early days.I don't remember that on the record or the cassette.? Was that assed later on


Instead, it drops behind-the-scenes, cutaway segments of the making of the man's final full-length, The Black Album, that are exciting and filled with life. Save a couple heartfelt "I'll miss the game" moments from Jay-Z, the documentary doesn't beat the viewer over the head with any heavy "what a loss" moments. The end of the show is more triumphant than "sad to see him go." That's the amazing thing about Fade to Black.

The man himself starts off with a little crack in his voice (choked up?) but soon overcomes it and works the crowd like one of the finest showmen in any genre. The guest list? It's huge, going from Beyonce all the way down to Freeway with Ghostface, Missy Elliot, Twista, Slick Rick, and just about every rapper who's ever even been to NYC turning up for the tribute/party. While not a groundbreaking maverick like Stop Making Sense, Fade to Black displays a keen sense of composition when it comes to camera work, which is all the more impressive when you consider the breakneck speed of the show and the overflowing guest list. Twenty-plus cameras captured the show in fine style for the most part, the exception being what looks like a stunning concert kick-off but the cameras are in too close to really tell. Documenting Jay-Z's "final concert" to a sold-out Madison Square Garden, Fade to Black is an uplifting goodbye to one of rap's true greats, and touching enough to forgive the Who-styled trick the rapper pulled by saying goodbye at the Garden once more after this show.
