FYI, in 2016 this album Master of Puppets was added to the US Library of Congress registry of works that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Song 1) Battery -- about being controlled by anger | Song 2) Master of Puppets -- controlled by drugs | Song 3) The Thing That Should Not be -- controlled by insanity | Song 4) Sanitarium -- controlled by people who think you're insane but maybe you aren't | Song 5) Disposable Heroes -- controlled by patriotism or the draft or whatever sends you to war | Song 6) Leper Messiah -- controlled by religion | Song 7) Orion -- just a cool instrumental but I consider this the moment of bliss when the listener realizes their own master... Song 8) Damage Inc... what the listener does to the master that is now exposed... just my take, but there does seem to a consistent theme with calling out our masters.
Some things to fix: The Thing That Should Not Be: about Cthulhu Sanitarium: About a man in a mental asylum who goes insane and plans to kill all of his doctors
I love these Metallica reactions. Not even a complete Metallica fan either. Metal has a stereotype that it's all hate, anger, devil worship and other nonsense. You guys are seeing, and reading first hand there is a lot of intellectualism and provoking thoughts behind the songs. Just like lyrical hip hop. The instruments to produce the music may be completely different but there is a meaningful message. Good on this channel for their thoroughness. Not just for metal, but for all genres of music
yup,. the instruments accentuate the meaning like a good musical score does for a movie. it's not accident that the sound and pace of the instruments fluctuate between sounding like a cavalry charge into battle (a galloping bass), and then the thrash playing of guitars and drums sounds like the guns themselves.
Ha, this comment is so true and shows that cancel culture is not a new thing. For those same reasons Metal has been on the cancel table, even to court.
This song hits hard , I am an Army recon Desert Storm veteran and no one gets this song more that someone who spent time in the suck. Loving all your reactions guys, keep being you and having fun.
Leper Messiah is also one of my favorites. It’s crazy because I was a teen when I started listening to them. I didn’t understand the depth of the lyrics also we had no way to look up lyrics at that time if they weren’t in the albums. So unfortunately I missed the deep meanings of the songs for a LONG time.
@@markherring3513 not religion as a whole, the fake television or some traveling evangelists who are obviously using a religion to extort money from unsuspecting but truly faithful people. Leper messiah translates to false prophet in this song. I did a bunch of research on it for a paper, once upon a time, when I was in school.
Whole record is about control - drugs, violence, disease, war, mental illness. This album sits at the top for me as far as metal goes. It's so powerful and well recorded and they did it when they were young. Metallica is where they are because of their level of creativity. They just have it.
Always have loved this song as I spent 16 years in the infantry as a disposable troop. Somehow I made it through after being wounded a few times. Thanks everyone for your service!
I think its time for you guys to experience the most aggressive song by Metallica, a little rare gem that even fans sometimes forgets called Dyers Eve, known for the most aggressive drums by Lars Ulrich, and the most technical advanced guitar solo by Kirk Hammet, and some of the most wild and raw lyrics by James Hetfield.
I’m gonna apologize in advance, I honestly don’t mean to be a dick but I’m sure it’ll be taken as that. So-A little rare gem that even fans sometimes forget? Bro have you ever actually mingled within the fanbase? It’s a fan favorite. Dyer’s Eve has a very favorable reputation among fans. Also, it’s on AJFA, there’s nothing rare about it. Anyway, no I don’t think _it’s time_ for them to experience it. Somewhere down line for sure, but as of right now they ain’t even got through all the essential tracks yet.
@@figu6ka379 You misunderstood my stmt. I was replying to MistaGitGud ...who was slamming the OP. So, obviously MistaGitGud thinks the Black Album and later are the "real" Metallica or just as good. My point was to say that the Black Album was a sell-out ...and it was, they even admit it in their own ways. There is NO way pre-Black Album Metallica ...or ANY Metallica with Cliff Burton or Dave Mustaine would have recorded the Black Album ...as it IS Brittany Spears candy pop. Peace.
As a metal chick it beyond warms my heart to see life long hip hop fans give metal a chance ( I like both). So your Metallica reactions just make me smile and not stop 😁
@@yancylinn8055 ...that song is not on that album. Whiskey in the jarro is horrible. I was embarrassed for them and quit listening to Metallica after they did that. Damn song sounds like a nursery rhyme.
I was 15 when this album came out in 1986 (I'm 51 now.) I used to put this on my Walkman on cassette to walk 2 miles to school everyday. I woke up to their albums sometimes. No one where I was knew who they were and I actually got ridiculed for having their logo as a patch on my Jean jacket. No one could pronounce their name right. Most people said "metal licka". To see you you guys finally seeing what I literally grew up with every day my Sophomore year in High School is pretty cool. I love watching you guys get the beat, appreciate the music, and then the deep understanding behind the lyrics. Thank you for taking the time to understand and not just assuming it's not worth it.
Metallica is a fantastic band. They have deep meanings to there songs. You guys should definitely do a reaction to metallicas “one”. That is a good one!!
I love watching you dive into one of my all-time favorite band Metallica been listening since 86. Also can’t wait for you to dip your toes in the tool and believe me the tool army will be on your side
A great track off Master of Puppets that goes with the theme of the album of being controlled, this one a soldier controlled by the higher ups as just a tool to be used and discarded.
My weird friend played me this song when I was 17 in 1988 and it just sounded like a freight train coming through the wall, I had never heard anything like it in my young life, he 'taped' it for me and I went home and must have listened to it 30 times, I went deep into their music for many years, they left and continue to leave an unmovable mark on me as man.
You guys nailed it, the entire album of master of puppets is about being controlled, whether it's from: drugs (Master of Puppets), military (Disposable Heros), anger/abuse (Battery), insanity (Welcome Home), religion (Leper Messiah), corporations (Damage, INC), schizophrenia (The Thing That Should Not Be), uncertainty (Orion)
I just called my Uncle who’s a real history buff especially American Military history. He worked at Maritime Military college here in New York until he just retired and I asked him about this song and I got a serious history lesson! Point as usual thank you guys! Much love to you over there. ❤❤❤
I have to say, I’m new to your reactions, but I love it. Haha. It reminds me so much of me and my friends busting each others balls, listening to music - some more into the song, others into the lyrics, etc. great chemistry guys.
You've GOT TO REACT TO THEIR LIVE CONCERT IN SEATTLE 1989!!!! That will give you true appreciation of their talent, to see it performed live! As opposed to whack ass music today.
Guys, I love your channel and watch it all the time. I was in the Air Force for 26.5 years. We were trained just like the other branches of the service. War was what we prepared for. First 10 years was just exercising and learning how to operate during a war time situation... train, train train. It was us against the Russians and it was at the height of the Cold War. Then we had Desert Storm and I deployed and fought for our country. Got the shit scared out of me a few times and it did not really matter. We did what we did and dying was a consequence for keeping America free. Then from 94 until I retied in 07 I was involved in constant conflict. It did not matter who we were fighting against, orders were orders and you follow them, no questions asked. War was just what we signed up for. I put myself in harms way more than once and at the end of the day, I made it. It did not matter. I could have hid behind a desk but I volunteered for anything and anything. That is what we do. If I was to have died, I know it would have not been for nothing and my wife would have understood... in her eyes I would have been a hero. But I lived and my wife still looks at me as a hero. I did not do this for myself but for you. Rudy, MSgt USAF, Retired 1981-2007 AMMO! Keep on keeping it real my brothers!
My favorite Metallica song ever, and I’ve been a die-hard fan since 1991 as a dorky 13 year old. They’ve honestly helped me overcome some heavy sh*t and I love to watch the younger generation discover these songs and lyrics. I’ve been binge-watching your Metallica reactions because they’re so pure and honest and I love it.
@@Steve-cm2ys well they do have several (very successful) live albums, but they also know there are many weirdos out there that don't understand why live is better
I’m so glad you guys took a liking to Metallica and it’s so cool to watch you guys explore them deeper. The more you listen to them, the more respect you’ll gain for them. Keep ‘em coming guys!
I have always loved Metallica, grew up on them with cousins that were 10 years older than me introducing me as a kid. Seeing your reactions has brought a lot of happiness to me as it reminds of what it was like for me when I first listened to them. I love seeing people who were not previously in the metal scene listen and really enjoy something that I enjoy so much. You have also got me relistening to all their albums in order again, just to relive some old memories.
Applies to nearly everyone in past century that has served in these b.s. wars. Respect to those who were forced to serve. However if u just signed up and believed the lies then you're flat out ignorant and uninformed!
Ukrainians too. Stop acting like history started yesterday. The 2014 coup and ethnic cleansing in Eastern Ukraine dont just go away because "Russia Bad"
As a white dude, who grew up in Marrero, Lafayette, and new orleans having family in all three places, and as a musician here in Louisiana, I love you guys.
I absolutely love how all of yall are expanding yourselves to different genres of music. Metal music is more then loud, fast playing instruments. The lyrics is what gets your attention.
Loving the Metallica reactions, y’all! I’m glad y’all are looking up the meaning of the songs before listening that way there’s minimal misinterpretation. Keep up the good work!
Sooner or later you guys will react to the band called "Slayer". It's and old school thrash metal band just like Metallica but Slayer is a lot darker. A lot. That's where you will witness that some metal bands, especially veterans of the genre, can dive veeery deep and and in a veeery dark places. You might not like what Slayer is singing about but you will definately appreciate it's intricacy. On top of that, the way they play their metal is... well let's say the music itself creates a hellish vibe. Love your reactions. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
This makes me think of my dad, Vietnam vet and he will NOT talk about his service. He’ll talk you under the table about anything else but that. He’s my favorite hero.
Love seeing you guys go back through Metallica's catalogue. Love to see you guys react to "Eye of the Beholder". This track is as relevant today, as it was over 30 years ago when it was written.
Loving all these recent music and sports reactions! I like that you've started watching the lyric videos to really catch what Metallica are saying in these songs :)
What an amazing song huh guys! I always have wished Metallica would play this live every one of the 10 times I have seen them live. But I have only seen it once. Hope they play it on this next tour coming up! Great reaction again guys!
The performances of the songs “And justice for all”, “Blackened”and “The thing that should not be” were the best performances from that show in my opinion. Also, the performance of Damage inc at the Shoreline amphitheater, 1989 was the best .
Glad you brothers got to experience what it was like growing up in the 80's. It's nearly impossible to listen to anything Metallica without banging your head to the music. It's just that strong of a reaction and only leaves you begging for more.
To live is to die... Is one of my favorite songs.. instrumental towards until the end.. Then .. harvest of sorrow. From the Justice album.. My favorite two songs on it..
Would love to see you guys react to Metallica's song 'No Leaf Clover' accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony! That concert blew my mind as a teenager and still does over 25 years later. 🤯🤘
*** a couple of intense songs in regards to the effects war had on soldiers would be Alice and Chains "Rooster", and Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce". These songs and the videos to them are incredible. They speak an incredible story for the soldier, what they deal with, experience, and the after effects.
This is one of the Metallica songs that the lyrics really hit me. Both my grandfather's drafted at rhe end of ww2 and into the Korean War. Both survived with bad PTSD, my one grandfather just passes away last July at 94 years old and the 21 gun salute at his funeral was beautiful. The way metallica can create a battlefield in your eyes through music is amazing. The drums sound like guns and I csnt explain how amazing this song is.

WHY??

Helluva fact! I had no idea.

I absolutely love how all of yall are expanding yourselves to different genres of music. Metal music is more then loud, fast playing instruments. The lyrics is what gets your attention.
Loving the Metallica reactions, y’all! I’m glad y’all are looking up the meaning of the songs before listening that way there’s minimal misinterpretation. Keep up the good work!
It makes my heart glad when I see the things I loved as a kid being experienced and appreciated by new generations. Thanks for the video!
I am happy to see you youngins enjoying music from my days love you guys!!! Do yourselves a favor and listen to them on headphones!!!!
Sooner or later you guys will react to the band called "Slayer". It's and old school thrash metal band just like Metallica but Slayer is a lot darker. A lot. That's where you will witness that some metal bands, especially veterans of the genre, can dive veeery deep and and in a veeery dark places. You might not like what Slayer is singing about but you will definately appreciate it's intricacy. On top of that, the way they play their metal is... well let's say the music itself creates a hellish vibe. Love your reactions. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.
This makes me think of my dad, Vietnam vet and he will NOT talk about his service. He’ll talk you under the table about anything else but that. He’s my favorite hero.
My dad was like that also.
I loved how you were all vibing and smiling ,and then the lyrics dropped , and so did your faces 😮. 😂😂😂
You all should do the entire album of this. Love the reactions!
props for the song choice right off the bat.
I used to "steel myself" for the day's patrol in Iraq 2004, with this song. Still motivates me today :)
Love seeing you guys go back through Metallica's catalogue. Love to see you guys react to "Eye of the Beholder".
This track is as relevant today, as it was over 30 years ago when it was written.
ACDC - LET THERE BE ROCK - OFFICIAL VIDEO. Will love it.
Loving all these recent music and sports reactions! I like that you've started watching the lyric videos to really catch what Metallica are saying in these songs :)
You guys are awesome love your reactions. Great channel!
Welcome home sanitarium, ride the lighting & ...and justice for all for the next metallica covers. All bangers.
What an amazing song huh guys! I always have wished Metallica would play this live every one of the 10 times I have seen them live. But I have only seen it once. Hope they play it on this next tour coming up! Great reaction again guys!
You want to see how good these guys are? Check out the song Battery live in Seattle 1989.
That Seattle 89' show was amazing
The performances of the songs “And justice for all”, “Blackened”and “The thing that should not be” were the best performances from that show in my opinion. Also, the performance of Damage inc at the Shoreline amphitheater, 1989 was the best .
My guys! The Metallica reactions keep rolling in and are fantastic! Best wishes brothers!
Glad you brothers got to experience what it was like growing up in the 80's. It's nearly impossible to listen to anything Metallica without banging your head to the music. It's just that strong of a reaction and only leaves you begging for more.
Hell yeah!! I was waiting for this one. The gallop riff in the beginning goes hard!!
One of my favorites! Think of a battlefield with heavy fighting. The song really captures it.
This is my favorite track on this album. I've been a Metallica fan since 1991
Can’t believe that song is 36 years old. Masterpiece! Dyers Eve must be reacted to soon. Thoroughly enjoy your reaction videos.
I high recommend y’all going to a concert! Watching them live was a dream of mine and done it twice! Life changing
To live is to die... Is one of my favorite songs.. instrumental towards until the end..
Then .. harvest of sorrow. From the Justice album.. My favorite two songs on it..
Would love to see you guys react to Metallica's song 'No Leaf Clover' accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony! That concert blew my mind as a teenager and still does over 25 years later. 🤯🤘
*** a couple of intense songs in regards to the effects war had on soldiers would be Alice and Chains "Rooster", and Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce". These songs and the videos to them are incredible. They speak an incredible story for the soldier, what they deal with, experience, and the after effects.
This is one of the Metallica songs that the lyrics really hit me. Both my grandfather's drafted at rhe end of ww2 and into the Korean War. Both survived with bad PTSD, my one grandfather just passes away last July at 94 years old and the 21 gun salute at his funeral was beautiful. The way metallica can create a battlefield in your eyes through music is amazing. The drums sound like guns and I csnt explain how amazing this song is.
