Thanks a lot for watching! If you enjoyed, make sure to subscribe for more Metallica reactions!🤘🏼🔥 See you in another video!
The solo is melodious while the drug works... later it gets fierce again...
It seems you would really like the song - Creeping Death....
@@Surfer-iv4qs thanks for the suggestion and for watching! I'll put it on the lost!
You should jump in the deep end. Lovebites Judgement Day live czcams.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/video.htmlsi=8i0w7wtakW3afJrv. Two female guitarists who'll shred your F face off. 4' 9" Haruna (drummer), will blow your mind.🤘
They still perform live regularly and believe me they are better than any modern musicians ❤😂
When it comes to music
Yeah they're crazy talented!
Well there some other awesome modern metal and rock bands: Bad Omens, Point North, Annisokay (from Germany), The Amity Affliction, the list goes on, just named some, check them out
I mean... some of the modern metal/hard rock bands are incredibly talented. Trivium, for example, is more technically talented than Metallica. And I could name a bunch more. But are they as good at song writing? Do they have as big of an overall impact on the genre as Metallica? Not even close. But if we're talking about pure technical skill, there are plenty of bands out there that are above and beyond Metallica. From a technical standpoint, Metallica aren't even top tier. But their song writing, influence and staying power are unmatched.
@@rubemortenson1724 Love your honesty on this! And you're right!
@@Dancing_Psycho Thanks man! And I'll say this before I get ratio'd (😂) James Hetfield is a rhythm guitar God. The man is like a machine. His ability to lock into the tempo is like a metronome, and it's also very impressive that he can sing vocal lines and play riffs with completely contrasting rhythms simultaneously. His right hand technique is unparalleled as far as I'm concerned. Its the stuff he does on the fretboard that's not really anything super technical. Basically, he's not writing any Dream Theater type riffs. But the riffs he does write, even if they are what some might call basic, are also epic and iconic. This is the best way I can put it... Metallica is like The Beatles or the Led Zeppelin of the metal genre. What they might lack in technical ability, they more than make up for in their song writing. And frankly you can ask any band out there who their main influences are. If Metallica isn't on the list, then some other band who was heavily influenced by Metallica will be. Their influence reaches so far that I would be willing to bet that there isn't more than two degrees of separation between any current metal band and the influence of Metallica.
The one who did Lead Guitar is Kirk Hammet
The one who did rhythm guitar & vocals is James Hetfield
I was a teen through the 80's. It was great. Got this album and many others when they came out. Metal wasn't on the radio or rv. It spread solely through world of mouth. Up the Irons !
Amazing!
Not entirely true! A lot of metal was played on the radio, and t.v., but more of the mainstream stuff. That's how metal got to be so popular in the 80's! There were certain channels that played all types of metal, mainstream, or not. Mainly on the weekends.
Yep! Word of mouth, magazines and live shows!
This song is such a masterpiece on so many levels. The song is about drug addiction and how the drug becomes the master of the user. Most of the song is written from the perspective of the drug. "I'm your source of self destruction", "I will occupy, I will help you die", "Come crawling faster, obey your master", "blinded by me you can't see a thing". There is a brief part where the user is talking to the drugs, "Master, Master where are the dreams that I've been after, Master Master, you promised only lies". As if the lyrical wasn't enough they went a step further and the music itself follows the drug addiction cycle. It starts off heavy (the addict is craving the drug), then transitions to a very mellow piece in the middle (this is when the person takes the drug and is on a high), then you hear the music ramping up as the drug wears off, and finally the music gets hard again (the addict begins needing their next fix). This song is a testament to how talented this band is from composition, lyrics, and musical talent.
It's awesome!
Make America Metal Again
That's what the band LILAC is doing. They straight up murder Metallica covers and make their own music too
Hell yea !!!
You should check out Metallica live in Seattle in 1989, in their prime and showing how to crush a show.
Highly recommend The Thing That Should Not be off MoP🤘🏼 super heavy and sinister song, and the solo is absolutely menacing😤 cheers brother!
Thanks for watching and the suggestion! It's on the list🤘🏼
Skating a half-pipe while this roared out of a boombox. Memories from the 80's.
Sounds awesome! Good time to be alive, the 80s!
You just reacted to the without any doubt best metal band ever and at the same time one of the best 5-6 bands ever in all Music……42 years of dominating world Music and to this date selling out any stadium/arena worldwide no matter the size of it 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘. You have at least 40 Tallica-bangers ahead of you….songs that will blow you away; One, Disposable Heroes, Creeping Death, Four Horsemen, Orion, Damage Inc, For Whom The Bell Tolls……just to mention a very few. Listen to them and I promise you regretting deeply that you did not listen to them before “Fade to Black”…..the amazing lead guitarist is The Legend Kirk Hammett 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Thanks for watching and for all of these suggestions! Probably gonna do creeping death next!
@@Dancing_Psycho21 years young when they wrote this album/song. Crazy, how young they were!!
@@Dancing_Psychocheck out creeping death live from Russia
Fade to black is my all time fav song...any Genre.... Master of Puppets is the Greatest Metal Song of All time!!
Good taste!
The song is about the effects of drug addiction. Even the structure of the song was meant to mimic the cycle of addiction. Frantic at the start, (needing a fix), and then mellowing out (getting a fix), but it not lasting long before it becomes even more frantic (needing another fix).
But as I scrolled thru more comments... he did heart a comment and reply to someone who posted what it was about so he did get that in the comments saying he appreciated it even more....
Yeah, I picked up on this in another comment! That's what makes this song so much more phenomenal!
First solo is played by James Hetfield (rythm guitar and vocals) second is Kirk Hammett (lead guitar)
They're awesome!
Yes, Metallica definitely had some punk influences (they've done cover versions of songs by punk bands such as The Anti-Nowhere League and The Misfits). Combining the heaviness of metal with the aggression of punk is one of the things that gave thrash metal bands like Metallica their distinctive sound.
Awesome to know, very interesting!
@@Dancing_Psycho I would suggest you react to their cover of The Anti-Nowhere League's So What, but I don't think CZcams would allow a reaction video because the lyrics are so obscene lol. It's definitely worth listening to in your own time though.
Yes we sure were on our own island! It was most definitely not mainstream and I’m proud to say I was part of this group! We were so misunderstood then.
Still perform!? Dude they are still putting out new music and killing it! They are all right around the 60 age mark now! Welcome to the Metallica family where all are welcome!
You have only scratched the surface of Metallica, so many Great songs, Blackened, Enter Sandman, unfogiven , unforgiven 2, Fight Fire with Fire, Shortest Straw, Sad But True, and that's just a few there are so many more. Great Reaction!
Thank you!
The thing about 80’s Metallica was they had incredible melodies to go along with the heavy music. No other thrash band really had that.
Yeah metal was underground. Funnily enough, it still virtually is.
"No Leaf Clover" S&M 99' will blow Your mind...
Get you a good pair of headphones youngbuck & it'll change everything! Great reaction always makes me smile to see youngins find METALLICA 🤘
I remember hearing kill em all in '83..to me this and megaforce records was a huge game changer for me as a young teen. i was into the bay area scene..imo, the originators of thrash metal. the forbidden, laaz rockit, death angel bands back then. that era opened a lot of eyes.
Well, they were slightly younger than you are when the band formed as Metallica around 1981, bassist Cliff Burton was 20 when he joined in 82, so they were all about your age when they released their first album in 83. Getting started as teenagers wasn’t all that rare even then, but they were definitely some youngsters.
@@0okamino awesome!
You must listen No Leaf Clover. It's an awesom song 🤘
Definitely metallica has to be one of my favorite bands and by the way I really like the way that you explain it. It’s pretty cool.
@@Alee20_220 thanks a lot! Appreciate the support!
Fun fact, Master of Puppets (or no remorse) and Metallica ( were one of The Inspirations for the original Doom (original Video Game) music.
That's awesome!
@@Dancing_Psycho well look up the original Doom music and compare it to the Master of Puppets riff, it's almost the exact same
@@alaneskew2664Almost, yes, but it's actually No Remorse, from the Kill Em All album
@@Axys_0_Rex it's not just no remorse but it is also Master of Puppets as well. Micaiah took from a lot of their songs
@@alaneskew2664 It's No Remorse, shifted down a few semitones. Bobby Prince (I don't know who 'Micaiah' is meant to be) was a lawyer and knew how much he needed to change in order to evade copyright. Master of Puppets has a different arrangement entirely, while No Remorse is almost identical, albeit at a higher pitch. There are videos comparing them
I saw this concert in OKC back in the 80's with Ozzy.
Metal heads are always accepting applications bro 😎 👍🏻🥃
Try Creeping Death by Metallica. You’ll love it.
It's on the list! Thanks for watching 😁
Fade to Black, in my opinion, is the best song they've made. Master of puppets, probably their most popular, now at least. Since it was played in Stranger Things. I'd recommend the song, One.
Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
Enter Sandman
Depending on how we define most popular, arguments can be made for a couple of songs. If we also look outside Metallica's normal fanbase/listeners a case for "Nothing Else Matters" can probably be made. It was insanely popular at the time, sold a lot and is still played more than most.
My personal favorite is also Fade to Black, especially live and extended versions of the song.
I agree. A few years ago, between people who knew Metallica's music, we could say that, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, and One would be there most popular. Those songs would be recognized by people that are familiar with the band. Play Master of Puppets, thanks to Stranger Things, even people that aren't familiar with Metallica, will know it's them if they watched the show.
Again, it probably largely depends on how we define and measure it. Master of Puppets weren't a mainstream song until recently compared to Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, One and the Whiskey in the Jar cover.
My guess is that there aren't any hard definition of popular - at least when we compare old and new releases and the different way people consume music today. Who is the authority on this subject?! :)
It reminds me a little of whether American football or real football, soccer, is bigger. The arguments boils down to revenue vs users and world dominance. Soccer has undoubtably a larger cultural influence in the world, but it is probably easier to compare revenue...
Any way, Master of Puppets is probably Metallica's best song to listen to live, it definitely is mine due to the crowd participation, but when listening casually there're other songs I prefer (e.g. Bleeding Me).
This song was used in "Stranger Things".
Speaking of being heavy, yeah, eighties is when it all started and Metallica was on the cutting edge of the heaviest bands in the early '80s, but already be the second half of the decade the heavier bands have emerged with the whole Death Metal genre. It really takes time and widening your musical horizon to learn and appreciate all those earlier bands when you begin to look into it see and compare and suddenly you realize that noone has done this before those guys. Of course there already were the proto-Black Metal bands in the early '80s like Venom, Hellhammer and Bathory that could probably top Metallica in being heavy, but what Metallica were always amazing at in my opinion is combining being heavy with being smart in themes, writing and delivery. They were among the first Metal bands that would sing about really socially important topics like depression, destructiveness of drugs, horrors of war, about the society and family silencing people and making them fit the mold etc. Not too many bands do dare or are even capable of following in their wake in this regard even to this day.
Btw by any case do not feel ashamed to not know things - you've mentioned that you are 20 years old which means that I personally have had about a 15 years headstart on you and when it comes to the '80s obviously there are people who lived it all while I was just born in 88, two years after 'Master' was released. If you will take your time and listen up on this stuff and read up on it - of course, only if you are interested and passionate about it, otherwise you should not feel obligated - you will be able to deepen your knowledge and widen your horizons as well. I remember some bands that did not amuse me initially, but after some years I was completely stricken by their music. Sometimes it does take effort and time and teaching yourself to learn and appreciate older and simple things, so maybe if you are not impressed with something right now you will recall those bands and revisit them further down the line. All the best to you on your Metal journey.
Thanks for the info and for watching 😁
You're 💯 right, me n my close friends were rocking this before it went main stream
Awesome!
Best song ever made bro
I was younger than you when this album came out and I still love it like I did back then. Continue on your Metallica journey, young man. It only gets better. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Will do for sure 🤘🏼
That metallica reaction is on 16000 views 🔥
Yeah it's INSANE🔥
@@Dancing_Psycho next up neffex 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold got me into Metal when I was a teenager and still in school in the early 2000s 🤘🤘🤘
Master Of Puppets and The Black Album are classics and masterpieces!! Enter Sandman is still my favorite, always listen to it loud when it's Halloween 🎃 Some neighbors will get mad at me, but I don't care 🤣
Hahaha, hope you have cool neighbors!
My kids were raised on metal. They are now introducing their kids to it. My last metal concnet was Metallica and i went with 2 of my grown sons.
Awesome!
This song is about addiction taking over a person's life. People start taking drugs and believe it's going to be awesome only to find out that it's destroying their life. The drug is the master talking to the addict. And then after the quiet part it's the addict talking back to the drugs going "why aren't awesome like I thought they would be?" And the drugs are like "Sucker! I rule you and eventually I'm gonna kill you." And then the drug master laughs in the addicts face at the end of the song. You hear the whole band laughing. The moral being, Drugs are bad mmmmmkay...
very well written!
The Song is abaut drugs and addiction. The first part of the vocals is from the perspective of the drug, the Master....Taste me you will see, more is all you need..... The slow Part tells the moment, when the drug is working. The drug hits in, by the last slow Maaa.s.t.e.r . You sink into yourself and you feel good and nice. But when you come down, the slow Part turnes into this heavy build up, ant the next vocal part is from the perspective of the user......Master Master, where's the dreams that I've been after,...Master Master, you promised only lies......
This Kind of composing, and the song structure, is so genius. They're not only using lyrics to tell a story, and they where about 23 years old, when they wrote this fu...k.n.. amazing sh..t.
Damn that's wild! Such appreciation for this song
I grew up in 1980's, and started listening to Metallica with the album "Kill 'em All" in '83. Saw them in concert in Detroit a couple of times, Toronto a couple of times, and Hamilton once... great live show... for me, the album "And Justice For All" is their most forgettable work, it's still better than glam or hair metal. Favourite album is "Ride the Lightning".
Zombie Land two. The beginning of the show.
Next goes "One", you won't be dissapointed
The ending parts are always sick 🤘🤘
See them live bud before it’s too late!
Yeah.... he missed them this year touring Europe as they had had at least 3 shows in Amsterdam, Netherlands in April. They are back in Europe next May, June and July in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Poland and Spain.
You're right!
Yep, too bad!
Wow it all went so far over your head, and yes back in the 80s everyone just sang campfire songs standing outside our mud huts.
I don't really pay attention to lyrics on first time listens, too much instrumentation to point out💀
I think Kirk sold his soul for the Solo in Ride the Lightning. Please check it out. Greetings
Harvester of sorrow is a good recommendation when you get around to it
Thank you! Definitely planning on doing more Metallica so thanks for bringing this one to attention!
And most importantly keep rocking bro
Always🤘🏼🔥
Oh my young child
😂
If you want to react to something Like this by Metallica react to "Orion"
Or if you want to go back to something similar to fade to black go for "Nothing Else matters"
Thanks a lot for these! I'll put them on the list
Nice job, dude! Enjoyed it
Thanks a lot!
Oh...the innocence of not knowing what "chop your breakfast on a mirror" means. 😂
It means cocaine haha, sometimes i get too much into the instrumentals
Im dutch through and through i live in mn all my ancestors came from the neatherlands if you anit dutch you ain't much lol😂that's an old dutch saying rock on🤘
That's awesome! I can tell from your name that your ancestors were Frisian Dutchies from the province of Friesland! Thanks for watching!
You bet keep up the good work
When tool released there new album they even trumped the top of the charts which was Taylor Swift and won the top of the awards. Rock fans are still alive and well just need the right genera and singer+ Danny Carey
Nice reaction mate
Thank you!
This was their third album, last one with legendary Bassist Cliff Burton. You should go back to their first album "Kill Em' All" and see they started heavier than any other band in history! And no, they are not punk rock. Glad to see the new generation discovering true heavy metal!!
😁 And just something to add: I didn't think they are punk rock, but I heard some punk influences in certain parts of the song! Some other Metallica fans agreed with me on that, trash metal having some punk influences
Another brick in the wall by Matellica ! Check it out
It’s the most terrifying anti-drug song I’ve ever heard.😂😂😂
Welcome to the Metallica rabbit hole, buckle up and hold on 🤘
Please get ear phones because music sounds so much better with it. New subscriber here.
Thanks for subscribing! I prefer good speakers when recording just to make it more homely/organic. I feel like headphones r less personal
I am a TRUE METALLICA FAN ik all their music but this is my absolute favorite song by them I'd like to see u react to Orion by Metallica that's tied for 1st for my fav song its an insturmenal
Thanks for watching and the suggestion!
I would love to see you react to “Freak on a Leash” by KoRn, it’s one of my favorite songs
Thanks for watching and the suggestion! I'll put it on the list!
Korn is still one of my favorite bands, after discovering Linkin Park
It's about drug addiction. That's the master
The first part of the song is from the perspective of the drug an the second half is from the perspective of the addict 😢
Powerful, very well done
You would absolutely love fabvl
"Orión" and "dispossable Heroes"
Thanks!
@4:45 "I didn't know they made this kind of heavy music in those days."
Oh, you sweet summer child.
If you are referring to Metallica, the first four albums were (in my opinion) their heaviest albums. If you were referring to the '80s, Metallica wasn't even the heaviest band to come out in the '80s.
To answer your question @13:00, Metallica is actually considered Thrash metal. Thrash metal was popular in the '80s with significant bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Of those three, Slayer was the heaviest.
Death metal of the late '80s got even heavier. Most people can't get into it because it is heavy for the sake of being heavy. Excessively fast beats alongside the harsh vocals are too extreme for most. Also, the lyrics are usually very dark and disturbing. Some big names were Death, Cannibal Corpse, and Deicide, but there are many others too. A similar genre called Black metal also emerged in the '80's, being very popular in Scandinavian countries.
Yeah I know quite a lot about modern metal, I'm just very out of touch with 80s metal. Heard of cannibal corpse though! And it came to my attention earlier that Scandinavian countries really enjoy metal music way more on average!
@@Dancing_Psycho very cool. The comment you made had me laughing so I felt the need to respond with a light jab 😂. The '80s were before my time still but some of the metal music that came out of that era was amazing. I look forward to watching more of your content.
They are the GOATS. They are even better live. Metallica live Seattle is superior. Any live version of this is stunning .
How about Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane? Despite the name (he was not fluent in English I presume when he named it)-like this, but very darkly atmospheric and to be sure, this music can't be popular; it's as incorrigible as mathematics; it just can't be that way, the Nightside. I don't listen to what I call "Radiomusik", but Lana del Rey is ok.
Ah sounds cool! Thanks for the request! 😁
They were 22 when they wrote it - 23 when they recorded it.....the rhythm guitar was sped up during the taping & they stuck with this speed @Dancing_Psyco disposable heroes is their best!
This is not their "most popular" song. Enter Sandman is their most popular song by a long shot. That's not to say it's their best song. It's just their most popular. Now if we're talking about their BEST songs, in my opinion Master of Puppets isn't even the best song on the album it was released on. Which is saying something because it's a god damn masterpiece. But that album was just so fucking good, it might not even be in the top 5... and there's only 8 songs on it. Personally, I prefer Battery, Orion, Disposable Heroes, Damage Inc. and maybe Sanitarium.
Thanks for all of these suggestions and for watching!
It’s better to pause and speak than to talk during. You’ll miss stuff and trust me with Metallica you’ll regret missing out. FYI- never pause a solo. Lol
The song is about drugs. The slower melodic guitar solo is when he is on the drug. Then it fades back into aggravation.
Yeah it's so good!
Yeah, we actually did do cool s#¡+ in the 80s. Gen X… perpetually ignored.
No, it’s not punk! That’s an entirely different genre.
I was asking of it had punk INFLUENCES! I know this is thrash metal, but certain parts i thought could be punk influenced. (Early days of punk) Some people say yes others say no😂
The lyrics are about addiction,and heroin..Heroin was really popular in the 80s...Lot of people died..So yea,not a beautifoul topic but nonetheless important and informative...!!!
Thanks for watching and for pointing this out, this makes me appreciate even more to be honest!
Close. Het's cocaine abuse.
"Chop your breakfast on a mirror..."
"Taste and you will see - more is all you need..."
He was a slave to his addiction.
Louder...haha ♡
the kids consuming Metallica in the 80's were usually raised by non existent fathers, or fathers who survived Vietnam War, physically, if not any other way. Most of the children growing up in the 80's were horrifically abused as children so distraction pop music was the norm, while the kids more in touch with their trauma consumed METALLICA.. and the other bands at that time that were talking about the same kinds of things. Serious things.
Very interesting
That was such a weird take 😂
This sounds like an AI guy talking… am I crazy?
💀 Thanks? Hahaha
🤟
React to them live
The lyrics are about drugs controlling your life. This is a very powerful song, unfortunately a lot of the reactors are missing the point.
I'm just not really that good at focusing on the musical aspects of the song and the lyricism and the same time unfortunately
He is not a native English speaker and I can totally see why he doesn't pay so much attention to the lyrics. But I've seen a few Americans reacting to this who had no clue what it's about. Even "chop your breakfast on a mirror" didn't ring any bells 😂
Creeping death by Metallica.
This one's being requested very often now! Might have to😎
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Yikes 😬
The song is about drugs
5/5 for music reaction, 0/5 for lyrics, overall 2/5 keep trying!
I don't make those lyrics 😂
I don't buy that this is your first time hearing it
Well it is! I was born in 2003 and I'm not American haha
lol you obviously dont know much or new to good metal. Not hating. But bands like metallica/ babymetal/ opeth/ nightwish have thee largest shows in the entire world. Metal is probably the deepest into music and emotions of the human emotion spectrum. Great react tho. Enjoy the metal journey. PS it has the nicest community of any music genre.
What I meant was that metal isn't and wasn't really appreciated among mainstream music listeners! The size of the shows really says something about how loyal and yes, how big the fanbase is. Still, metal was never mainstream and it was always made fun of. I mean everybody knows what metal is as a genre, but only a certain group actually enjoys listening to it, and yeah the fanbase is insane. Been to many metal concerts!
@@Dancing_Psycho ahh yea somewhat true. Its not advertised in mainstream but the metal community is huge and diverse 😀 if it was mainstream its probably not good... like five finger death punch lol 😆
@@kylec1411 hahahah
you should check out some amazing japanese metal called Maximum the hormone - yushu fukushu/ alien/ lets talk about :) youre welcome bud.@@Dancing_Psycho
Lol you havent heard heavy lol
I was clearly comparing it to mainstream 80s music, obviously I've heard heavier stuff
Its about drugs
Yeah a lot of you guys informed me about it. Great way to spread awareness, especially for those days
@Dancing_Psyco please do MEGADETH - Holy wars (the punishment due) dude was in Metallica for the 1st two years........ You won't be disappointed 😊
👀
