ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

@@spiderman4x A lot of rockers got hooked on various things from heroin to prescription meds for that exact reason, Phil Anselmo being a good example. Touring in a rock 'n' roll band is VERY taxing on the body.
"This is a musical orgasm" I think that is probably one of the best descriptions of Metallica's music I've ever heard lol
This ☝☝☝
The best example of a musical representation of an orgasm I have always believed is in this same album in Orion. Even tapers off to easy going post nut clarity once it ends.
The best antidrug song ever. Period.

As much as I respect Cliff, Master of Puppets is James Hetfield's creation. Not Cliff. Almost everything in Metallica is created by James Hetfield along with Lars
WHEN YOU CREATE A SONG ABOUT DRUGS AND THE SONG BECAME A DRUG ITSELF
Lol 69 likes. It would be better if it was 420 tbh
its about crib death mate xD
Crib death lmao COCAINE.
yessir I am 53 and I still drive 80 when that song kicks in! maximum overdrive!
It's not about drugs
The song’s construction is literally about addiction. The first third is an angry junkie looking for a fix, the second third is scoring a fix and the rush, then it wears off, beginning the chaotic third act.
This brings a whole new understanding of the song, and really deepens the meaning.
That's almost correct. The first third is the drug speaking and asserting its control over the addict. The second third is the addict, in a moment of clarity, realizing the hold he's under, the pain it causes him and his desire to be free. The final act is the drug pulling the addict back from lucidity and into it's control again, never to be released. I had a high school English teacher who helped foster my love of heavy metal. Every year after I graduated, he had me come back in the fall for a day and teach his students a lesson on symbolism and metaphors in writing using this song.
Nice breakdown!
@@thecreaturezoid478 sounds like an amazing teacher. I had a English teacher similar to this, but he referenced the Doors mostly. I also came back years later to sit in on his lessons.
@@maxseth1 Yeah he was really a great teacher. I still keep up with him to this day. He ran an after-school club for all the rock and heavy metal kids, and organized the same club at the other two high schools in town. Kids would come after school and listen to heavy metal and 80's rock and share music with each other. The clubs at the three schools would help get kids in touch so they could start bands as well. You could go to him and be like "Hey, I need a drummer." and he'd contact the teachers at the other schools to find out if they had any drummers in their clubs and get you contact info for them. The world needs more teachers like that.
I really like how she shh's herself sometimes. It's quite funny.
So funny 😂😀 ❣️
Fun fact: James did not intend on being the lead singer. He just wanted to play guitar.
Yep. Every fan has been aware of that for a long time. :-)
"I'll take 'things every metallica fan knows, for 200 Alex"
Yep, every fan knows that, and now Rebecca knows it, too. Always good to share info.
Every Metallica fan might know that but I always appreciate when ppl share lil tidbits. We might know this, but ppl/we/I share these lil facts for the ppl who don't know
I'm a fan and didn't know that
I really enjoy watching classically trained artists such as yourself delve into metal and hard rock. It's so refreshing to hear professionally trained musicians appreciate the genre I grew up with and give legitimacy to it when the generation before us called it noise and garbage. Thank you for doing this!
What’s cool is that a lot of metal songs comes from classical music. Listen to mars bringer of war. It’s a classical piece that helped birth “am I evil” by Metallica and “Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath
I want to hear her react to a Megadeth song like Tornado or Peace Sells, but she's a vocal teacher and Mustaine's voice is...uh...unique.
Had that exact same thought, lol!
Lol, Sweating Bullets
I like Dave's voice when he's not "pulling a voice" which he does a loooooot.
dave’s voice is an acquired taste
His songs in The System Has Failed are definitely vocally better. Not strange though since he took vocal classes before producing that album. Maybe an idea for Rebecca to try some of that album.
“This is a musical orgasm”...most Metallica songs are
not after the black album

When I was younger and dealt with addiction I would listen to this song quite a bit because it would help me think about the mistakes I was making, putting all of it in to perspective, then helped me walk away from it. I have been clean for 27 years now.
Joe Martinez Metallica works magic, right? congrats man \m/
Congratulations! That's a hell of a feat! Good for you! Keep at it. :)
Damn. I am 3 months sober, and each day feels forever.

Nice to hear that. Long live metal man
"These songs have time to breath"
I've never think about it that way, but this is really nice way to put it! I'm gonna steal it :)
“The music tells the story” is the most accurate description of this song. This song is the best example of drug addiction I have heard. It’s more than just the lyrics themself. The song tells the story of the addict seeking drugs. He takes the drug and is euphoric during the solo. He then comes down and must “chase the dragon” for more. It then gets aggressive as he does anything for the next fix. Thus, the master has control of the puppet strings until death.
So grim but so powerful. Metal covers themes and concepts other genres rarely even consider.
Pre-Black Album Metallica is like listening to a classical orchestra.
Mephilis 78 Although the black album made me a fan, That 4 album run from Kill ‘em All to “....and Justice” is probably one of the greatest runs in music history. The collective impact that those 4 albums had on metal as a genre and as a culture can not be overstated. I promise you every metal band that’s come out in the last 20-30 years got either their sound, ideas or both from at least one of those albums
There's Cliff for you... Created some great shit but they were never the same.
She said "Awfully long introduction" and that was like the first time I heard the Black Album wondering when all that slow shit was going to stop and they were going to get on with the metal. It's been over 30 years, and we're still waiting.
And Justice For All... A symphony of guitars. The guitar solo in Frayed of Sanity is my favorite solo in any song ever.
No
My 8yr old autistic son LOVES this song since one day I put it on my car on a roadtrip🤘🏽😝🤘🏽
My 23yr old sister got into listening to Metallica because I used to listen to them so much. Now she shows me the really cool stuff like Nightwish. She is autistic and has a better ear than I do. I'm supposed to be the musician! 2 seconds of damn near any classic or modern rock song and she names it.
@@af-aftech6029 i can almost do that to but I have adhd and have memorized the songs
My 8yr autistic son loves it too. He’s been listening to the heavy stuff for a few years now. Gojira is his favorite though.
@@dangercat3000 Gojira is fantastic, my favorite band
Surprised she hasn’t heard this before. It’s a legendary song!
That entire album is a masterpiece from beginning to end.
I have never heard anyone call Master Of Puppets "spicy", laughing my head off here

Spicy means good
OMG This Song is Awesome!!!

Muy caliente
that middle section interlude is maybe the most beautiful piece of metal music ever written.almost like classical music. and they were 20 - 21 years old when they wrote it. do more metallica please :) like your reactions (as usual)
To my understanding Cliff Burton had a lot to do with that, he was classical oriented. Loosing Cliff was a real blow for the band.
Can't beat Megadeth. Holy Wars
Potato Man What do you mean there’s no interlude? I have the sheet music and the section is labeled as an interlude.
@Potato Man ruclips.net/video/RuWYxIIZnwE/видео.html
@Potato Man lol imagine being such a poser that u still compare metallica and megadeth in 2020
Very interesting reaction there. You went in with an open mind, didn't get put off by that wall of noise, yet you didn't at any time seem to be focusing on the lyrics either.
Just listened to the mood that was conveyed through the music and vocals.
And while you payed no attention to the story being told with words, you got the emotions perfectly by just listening to the melody and the diction. It is a testament to how well this song was arranged on every level and your reaction actually managed to deepen my appreciation for this song (after 20+ years of me listening to it).
Thank you, well done!
"ooh, spicy" I want that to play every time I get a text message.
Lol Record it and put it in your noticication sounds for text.
Listening to a band literally named "Metallica" and the first thing you say "It's a bit Rock-y" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's adorable.
I also heard that at first, but she sort of said "I though it was the Rocky theme tune".
I think it's the rapid guitar downstrokes and chokes that are giving her the impression.
@@giogio182 I wasn't being elitist about the what is rock or metal 🤣
I genuinely ment it was adorable that she was so surprised, I thought one would expect a heavy tune if the band is named Metallica.
That's not really a bad thing either, it points to an open mind, going into it without prejudice.
@@F1rstWorldNomaD I originally had that kind of outlook too for a while I thought Megadeth was a death metal band, so I stayed away from them not liking growl vocals. I tried them years later the irony being I don't like them because of the vocalist.
James once said that MOP was inspired by Eye Of The tiger. It is obvious :), j/k
giogio182 Yeah, I thought I heard her mention Rocky theme song, too, but couldn’t tell if she meant the movie soundtrack or if the piece was heavy (i.e., it’s “rock-y”). If she meant the soundtrack, did she mean “Eye of the Tiger”? Or the original soundtrack from the first? I don’t hear the similarities with the latter.
Plus the fact he sings this while playing, and all downpicking.... my wrist dies.
Chris Barnes His downpicking is unparalleled. Just insane.
Wait he downpicks? Does he _enjoy_ pain?? Lmao
Yeah, my left wrist hurts just thinking of the downpick.
Wait is downpicking hard or something? It's all I usually do.
He's been known to alternate-pick while playing live, he's not 21 anymore y'know?
I am 43 years old. And for the better part of my life I have considered the entire Puppetz album to be a true masterpiece of melodic metal. 😎
The library of Congress agrees with you, and selected the album for preservation.
I love how much Kirk spoke to her here, that man is a genius. I wonder if she ever tool the time to figure out the significance of the lyrics, set to this musical masterpiece.
At that point James had never had a singing lesson. On tour for the album after this one, And Justice For All, he actually injured his vocal chords. For the next album, The Black album, he actually worked with a vocal coach.
That actually explains really well why he sounds so different between the early album and the live album S&M with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, even on the older songs. I thought he just changed his style because he liked it more, but it makes a lot of sense that it would be better for his voice (less high screeching and more actual "body").
Enter Sandman would be a good next reaction. It shows the extreme change in his voice. For Whom The Bell Tolls is also a good track when it comes to early vocals.
He blew his voice out on the tour for the black album. He started taking lessons then, that’s when you start hearing him trying to actually sing in concerts. It’s a very noticeable change in his live performances. Poor technique and extremely long and heavily booked tour schedule caught up to him. I tried to find the actual numbers of that tour but had no luck, I believe it was 3 years straight with 5 shows a week. And the ever so healthy life style they lived at the time helped to I’m sure lol
It’s funny that she mentions his high larynx, because James blew his voice because of that.
That damn cover version they recorded.
@@PaulMclauchlin yep.. So What was the cover
@@shredfactor7 so what, it's on youtube
At 11:00 she mentions problems in later years and the entire time I’m just remembering the black album tour
RIP Cliff , you are forever missed 🤘🏻🖤💔🤘🏻
@Davgil absolutely , how can i not mention him, he is first thing that comes to mind , when i hear Metallica 🖤🤘🏻🖤
I am so happy with this channel, I went from Pantera to Jinjer to Fleetwood mac to Johnny cash to now Metallica... I Don't think I've ever seen such diversity in a channel that suits my tastes in music this much, and you my dear, are an absolute joy to watch. Everything is genuine, and it's exactly what i need right now, thankyou so much :)
It's like Mary Poppins trying to listen to Metallica.
Cheerio
You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts exactly
And I love that Ms. Poppin's reaction boils down to "Oh yes, this is quite good thank you!"
Robert Klone , thats what I said!
Mary Poppins gone bad!
Mary Poppins does like metal: ruclips.net/video/iU2hy0L5lgg/видео.html
Look, coming from a perspective of great familiarity and fan enthusiasm, it’s too easy for us to judge. Keep in mind that this is often THE VERY FIRST time these people have EVER heard some of this stuff. It might take a little while to sink in. As very experienced Hard Rock fans, even us, how many songs have taken more than one listen for you to fully appreciate it? I love Rebecca and I think she’s more than fair overall. She’s quite entertaining also and knows her stuff singing wise. Hey, she’s going outside her comfort zone and giving Hard Rock a chance! All I’m saying is go easy on her, it’s not her area of music expertise. She’s coming around and DOES appreciate well crafted music of all genres. Peace, Phil
... "we don't need to speak with words, the music tells the story". That's so true :)
It's unbeliveable how soo many people don't get this and then say that they don't like songs with long intros or instrumentals. I just can't understand that position tbh
Imagine just now learning how great metallica is. I was in high school in the 80's. Love them more now than I did then. Ageless
When you described Metallica as a "musical orgasm", that was some funny shit.
Edit: It's also true.
This song is perfectly describing a drug addicts emotions musically. From the anger, to the psychedelic feeling when high, back down to the anger and frustration.
Was it me or did this completely fly over her head?
@@cheradubi1194 It's usually missed on the first few playthroughs since for most the music itself is quite overwelming the first time or two
Not exactly, it's just the basic song structure metallica uses on almost every long song they have, it has nothing to do with "feelings"
Nothing else matches that hunger song does it rly good
I think that was the premise of the song whether it was first person perspective or the things they saw on the scene is the question possibly a combo of both
Where's it gonna go??? All the way, baby, all the way
"It's a bit rocky" well it's Metallica so...
She meant Eye Of The Tiger that was in Rocky with that guitar hit at the start.
Xd rocky
Someone really needs to forward this reaction to James, Lars, Kirk and Robert. And wouldn't it be awesome to see them react to her reaction?
Oh that’d be great! Rock on and keep head bangin’ Rick!
Robert? Why robert?
@@zane4575 he's the fourth member of Metallica 🙄
Lol. They'd laugh. Y'all realize that this was written in the 70's? Did you also know, that James was an Opera singer, before he went metal? Lars, was a symphony composer? These guys have been beyond her level of knowledge, for decades. Have probably forgotten more than she knows. They'd be flattered by the fan notice, but they're pretty arrogant in real life. Lars is kind of an asshole.... Kirk would likely be the most grateful. He's a pretty decent guy...
Who's Robert?
I love how your explaining how he sings and the anger behind his voice. Im just surprised as a vocal coach you haven't heard this song?
Metallica is considered to one of many "Godfathers" of thrash metal. You had me cheesing 😁 pretty big on the reaction. ♥️🤘
Metallica is the gateway for the new heavy metal scenes .. pretty much every band will say that they're inspired by metallica ..
Cheesing where I'm from means putting powder up your nose..
Yessss 🤘🤘
I'd say Metal in general.
After iron maiden as things got heavier Metallica was thee metal band...and then system of a down and slipknot just took off with it lol
I just want to say that I love watching your reactions to the metal/hard rock/nuprog rock I grew up on (soad, metallica, tool, pantera, etc) and seeing someone trained in classic vocal techniques appreciate what these artists do. For so many years, these bands were classified as "less than" by the traditional music community, and it really makes me happy to watch you appreciate and celebrate their talent.
Eddie playing this classic in Stranger Things gave me chills 🤘🏼😤🤘🏼
I grew up with this band, as a kid lyrical nuance didn't grip me as tightly, it was just cool and aggressive and fun. Now looking at it and hearing the message, the cocaine talking to the user and its just got so many more levels of awesome than I realized back then. Good to see you do dark stuff too!
Heroin* but yes I agreee
@@larswalther1902 drugs in general*
@@larswalther1902 chop your breakfast on a mirror? yes cocaine
The guitar solo after James yell 'Fix me!' is meant to be the trip the addict is on after getting his (final) fix.
Steven Fox Imsay the middle is the being in drugs. It’s the good euphoric part. Before and after that is needing more of the drug.
I think "One" by Metallica is an amazing showcase of their talents. It's fantastic.
Very fun reaction, thanks.
And one should watch the music clip, it is a emotional experience... :)
Absolutely, that is a perfect 10/10 song in my opinion, and that album is my favorite Metallica album :)
The Singer was 23 , the Guitarist was 24 , the Bassist was 24 , and the Drummer was 23 composing / playing this song . Let that phenominal greatness sink in folks . Talent like this at these ages is unheard of before , or after this song came out . The Bassist was a Classical music theory student / fan , which explains a lot of the classical time signatures used , and unusual chords / solos in this song . The Singer has a lot of growl and melody combined in his voice which is unusual for a Thrash Metal singer of this 1980's period .
I love seeing a vocal coach getting so lost in the moment of the extended instrumental sections in the middle. Great video. 🙂
I love how you shushed yourself at 7:00. It was cute. I'm not a huge Metallica fan but if you haven't heard One yet you should. For me, one of the best songs ever written
True but for me the Official video is not the way to go for reactions to it. All the movie stuff inserted in is distracting.
Yes definitely a lyric video of One. Or fade to black.
@@mannistef literally wrote the song after watching the movie. How is the inspiration for the song showing while the song plays distracting?
@@shawnobrien3235 The official video is good for people who know the song but it does interfere with the music.
Distracting due to all the sound excerpts from the film interspersed with the actual song ‘One’
Keep talking, Rebecca. If they want to hear the damn song with no interruptions it's on RUclips, Apple Music, Spotify, etc...
yea Rebs is cute and has a confident personality i dont think she was herself in this video but i dont blame her since it's not a live performance it's not fair to her either
Yes keep taking. We’re here for your words. We all have this song on our playlists
It was awesome to see the whirlwind of expressions of emotions and expressions Rebecca went through. Love it
She closes her eyes to feel the music. Greatest reaction. Can't wait for the next metallica reaction. Morh into flame , halo on fire, outlaw torn.
This is a musical piece of genius. The way the music and vocals come together to tell a story, for me, this is the best song as a whole ( as in music and lyrics coming together ) ever written. Telling a story of drug addiction and the added effects of the music encapsulating the different stages of how the drugs affect you, so good, so so good!
Rock and metal songs are the best for telling stories, a lot of people think its just screaming and shouting to guitars, but its so much more than that, if they would listen to the lyrics, most tell deep stories that are so much more than hard vocals. Brilliant!
I completely agree. Truly one of if not the best metal songs ever pieced together. A theatrical genius piece of art that is still so necessary and relevant.
Agree. This is the album that taught me to play guitar. I listen to most of everything heavy all the way up to now. But the genius that is that band can't be overshadowed by anything else. None of them are at the top of the game when it comes to skill. But their abilities together as writers completely overwhelm any technical shortcomings they have individually. James, jackhammer of a picking hand, Kirk's inability to play anything buy what he plays, and freedom in doing it. Lars weird lack of a sense of dynamics. For some reason it all mixes together in a perfect way.
I don’t think she knows this song is about drug abuse. “Chop your breakfast on a mirror” is a coke reference but ultimately the whole song is supposed to be about drug abuse
I hate to say it but she was clueless as to the meaning of the song. I think she got too tied up in the sensations of the tempo changes and melodies.
I believe it's actually about drug addiction, rather than just abuse.
Well regardless it’s about drugs and how it controls people and it went right over her head completely
Drugs is the Master while the drug user is the puppet.
Which then leads to the abuse/addiction
You should hear the Scorpions. Klaus’ voice isn’t human. Winds of Change, Sails of Charon, Holiday, Big City Nights, you’d probably like it
"i definitely lost myself in that part of music"...we all did listening to it for the first time.
Master of Puppets was such a brilliantly written song. If you really want to categorize it, it IS music theater because of the story it tells. The first part was the drug enticing the individual to use it. The melodic interlude was the state of euphoria felt once the individual succumbed to the drug. That was followed by a state of betrayal felt by the individual when the drug failed to deliver what it promised. Lastly, the drug reasserts it's dominance over the individual.
1:12 When someone who isn't huge on the Thrash or Metal genre starts headbanging to one of the most iconic songs in metal history. Amazing.
Master of puppets is describing dealing with addiction, controlling your life ,and dealing with broken promises and dreams.
Such an incredible, natural reaction to this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your emotions like that, Rebecca.
FADE TO BLACK. It has to be done. HAS TO!!!
The live version from the 1991 Monsters in Moscow gig would be brilliant. ~500k Russians going nuts.
ΥΕS PLEASE
Bonnaroo version. Most emotional version of fade to black there is.
@@SimoRaven19 Moscow is the most impactful, but imo 1996 Irvine is probably the best live version, though. James sings his heart out, everything is on pace, they open with the acoustic sound rather than going straight to it, just beautiful.
Dude, she's at the tip of the iceberg,
The part when you say "psychadellic" is meant to be that. It's the musical expression on how it feels to get the next high.
And THAT is the influence of Cliff Burton. He was the conceptual architect of Metallica's songs until his death.
K
@@ericpetersen5926 The whole reason they have classical vibes is because a legend that died before his time, and you can still hear Cliff's influence in Metallica today.
And the "frenetic" riff after is the pain caused by craving, like thousands of razor blade cuting your flesh
Its genuinely interesting to hear someone review this piece who clearly loves music and can talk on it eloquently.
Just discovered this channel and I am just as blown away by it as you were hearing Master of Puppets! Great concept, interesting thoughts and you are very charming. It's a subscribe for me!
I can't decide if she liked it or not. Metal is not for everyone but this is as good as it gets. I would love to see her do some Slayer or Megadeth. Dave's vocals would confuse her.
mmaarrttyy123 shes not ready for slayer, maybe some tout le monde by megadeth would be nice
I was already into hard rock and started to hear metal in my teenage years. When you hear old classic Metallica sound for the first time you get confused. I remember hearing One for the first time...so many ups and downs, different rythyms my ears were not used to...and VERY RAW harsh sound...
Metallica gets better after you hear it a couple times.
I agree. Dave's voice is either hate it or love it. My Darkest Hour would be a good start or Mary Jane.
Lol Dave vocals confuse everyone
@@michaelgallardo6804 I reckon She can handle any music. But maybe start with a nice melodic catchy one like South of Heaven as a warm up to Raining death.
I am always in amazement at how well trained James Hetfield is. Did you know his mother was an opera singer? Thank you for being so open to exploring the crunchier side of rock! Definitely two favorite people in the same place!!
He was self-taught as a singer. He may have taken some lessons later in his career.
yes
@@hinjurock70 Self-taught until the black album. During the recording of that album, he blew out his voice entirely and started working with a teacher to know how to avoid that happening again. It changed his vocal style pretty significantly.
(Same thing kind of happened with Matt Heafy from Trivium)
I don't see how anyone could listen to Kill 'Em All and think James had any training whatsoever. There's a clear distinction between his vocals pre- and post-Black Album, when he started any kind of training because he blew his voice out making that record. He's told this story himself.
Cool, Steven. I did not know that.
Hi Rebecca, I appreciate all your videos and vocal coach skills and reaction to the music I love. You are the first reactor I subscribed to a bit ago. Your amazing and don't forget that!!
I've heard this song 100s of times, but never analyzed it. Lots of fun. Thanks!
You really should try give Orion a listen.
Now thats a spiritual journey
could not agree more ORION!!!
Yea the best song for a vocalist
vasilis io I was gonna say the same thing😂
Anesthesia too
The call of Ktulu
"It's like a musical orgasm!" Never heard this song described so well. Still love when you "shh" 🤫 absolutely nobody, anytime you're trying to listen closely. 😂 Your willingness to explore, really listen to and appreciate so many genres is fantastic. Talk all you want, Rebecca! You just keep on shh'n on! 🤘✌💙 #NeverStopSinging #YouAreNeverAlone #BeYourSelf #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
black lives matter hashtag what the fuck? lol
She actually shh herself. I was laughing so hard.
I encourage you do do a RUclips rabbit hole dive into other Metallica songs. They have almost 40 years of material now
@@gocubs1815 If you're referring to me... I've been a fan so long, I still remember the day Cliff Burton died. 💔🤘
*Robin Leach voice* A veritable crescendo of aural pulchritude! Was what my brain came up with 3 decades ago.
What I enjoy the most when listening a song, that I have listened again countless times in the past, and find little details that are I never heard before. Studio songs, from many bands, are full of them. Only recently, I heard something like that in this song. After the first solo and before the second solo, each time James says "Master" or "Laughter", there is a quiet low whisper especially noticable on the right channel. It makes you realise how much effort a band needs to make a masterpiece.
I've always loved your reactions to the heavy music as well as the vocals! Priceless!
I laughed when I saw the title of this one. Most don't listen to Metallica for the vocals haha. Glad to see you at least appreciate one of the legendary metal songs. Thanks for the metal love btw 😘
I do. React their 90s stuff. Bleeding me has a great vocal performance.
But he's by far better than Mustaine :)
@@duilioalba4395 i wouldn't say "better" just a different style respectively.
And James couldnt care less about vocal technices in 1986 at all! haha
If you wanna hear some great softer vocal range from Metallica listen to The Unforgiven
In the 80s and early nineties, Hetfield's voice was like a distillation of all the rage and frustration that every middle class and poor white boy felt about the world. His tone and timbre sounded _so_ familiar to us. To us, he sounded more like _us_ than we thought _we_ did.
He's had to crank back on the fry and distortion in his age and decrepitude, and his harmonies and general expressiveness have only improved (I refer to the Unforgiven saga), but he was raw, screaming anger and spite at the start. I loved it. I resented him for going 'soft' for a long time, but a Gen X metalhead has to be honest with himself at some point and admit that, once it starts to hurt _all the time,_ you gotta ease up.
Happened to Danzig. Compare The Sugarcubes to Björk today. Axl Rose. And holy shit, Vince Neil!
Maybe they got soft. Maybe there were monitor issues. A great man I can't recall the name of once said getting old is not a job for pussies, and I suspect therein lies the crux. It's kicking my ass, I'll tell you.
That's what makes vocalists like Brian Johnson, Bruce Dickinson, and, gods save him, Ozzy Osbourne so fucking special. But I think the all-time, undisputed, Unageing Scream Award has to go to Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth. Titanium vocal cords on that guy.
*P.S.:* Black Francis, a.k.a. Frank Black, a.k.a. Charles Thompson IV. That boy sure can holler.
Very well said and very true.It is also a pleasure to see that somebody gives respect to Bobby ''Blitz'' Ellsworth.I had the distinct pleasure of seeing overkill again in concert for the second time in over 20 years and he never sounded better.I was amazed and my jaw hit the floor.Deeper and tighter lows and higher,crispier highs and articulated mids that sound sweeter than before.HIs breathing and control has improved by leaps and bounds.Just astonishing.
BaldotheDon why only white boys??????
@@evelynfx9530 I felt then and feel now that I'm not really qualified to speak for any other demographics. At the time, I did a lot of talking at white _girls_ about how awesome I thought Metallica was, but I don't remember hearing more than mild enthusiasm from them, although I can assert that the first time I ever actually heard Metallica was when this girl I barely knew offered me a listen on her Walkman in the cafeteria, and I wish I could remember her name, I owe her what could easily be described as a life-debt.
The song was _Disposable Heroes,_ by the way. She _very patiently_ waited for me to finish _Leper Messiah_ as well before demanding her music back. Changed my life.
I bet if I looked through my yearbook, I'd find her. Might even find out if there had been any black students at my school. I'm sure there were, but I had no contact with them.
The closest thing to a meaningful discussion of music of any type I remember having with a black person was a sergeant in my company in Darmstadt, Germany that told me he didn't understand metal, and I quote his opinion: "Where's the _bass?"_ He wasn't wrong.
I've been subscribed to these guys for a while, though: ruclips.net/user/lostinvegas I don't watch every video they do, but I watch every video they do about Metallica. They put up some solid reactions, and I love their insights on my favorite music style.
@@BaldotheDon Heh I found Lost in Vegas several years ago due to their "Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" reaction. They are superb reactors. Two of their funniest reactions were to "Meshuggah - Bleed" and "Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)". They are pretty experienced with metal now tho so it will be hard to find anything they have not at least heard something similar to. Still a good channel tho.
James blew his voice out recording "So What." Thats why Ecstacy of Gold plays before each Metallica show, James uses it yo loosen up his voice
Thank you. You physically express, in words and motions, what my brain is trying to express.
It’s always great that she sees the musical merits in all genres.
Rebecca chatting away about the music.
Also Rebecca “Shhh”.
😂❤️
I love her 🤣❤
Fun fact: James' mother was an Opera singer.
Yessss nobody really knows this
" needle work the way, never you betray" is one of the most powerful lines ever written
Me: only listening
Rebecca:7:00 ssshhhhhh
Me: only linstening
Rebecca :ssshhhhh
"ORION" "Call of Ktulu" "To live is to die" all Instrumentals you will like by Metallica.
You know she does vocals right?
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing.
@@malcolmkyeremeh5444 I don't think you understand his sarcasm.
Suicide and redemption is my favorite instrumental from them. But what would she react too tho?! Hahaha
Mustaine wrote Call of Ktulu, then rearranged it and it became Hanger 18, so.... there's a chance lol
"The Music Tells the Story!" - BRILLIANT!!!
Oh, you are fun to watch!
So nice to see people who aren't metal heads that are able to listen with an open mind and showing appreciation.
Thank you!
Be safe out there!
For the middle portion, I love how they use the guitars to speak to you.
The middle breakdown melody is the addict getting his fix and feeling good. It doesn't last long and builds up and he needs more
"This is a musical orgasm now!" PERFECT Never in my wildest dreams did I think you would ever react to Metallica. Not sure I have ever clicked so fast. Do not think you knew quite what to think of this one. Some time take a listen to Metallica "Enter Sandman" live Moscow 1991, it will blow you away.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd see her O on camera! :)
Ehh... For Whom The Bell Tolls Live from Moscow in '91. Or pretty much anything Live from Seattle 1989.
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 I think their creeping death performance was the best there. I mean its the only time you get can half a million of russians shout out "die" other than WW2
So many don't catch on to the different layers of this song, the obvious is that its about addiction, but the music is following the cycle of addiction separate from the vocals, the waking up and beginning to look for your drug of choice, the discomfort of going around looking around for a source, finding and preparing your substance, then the taking and tranquil feelings of being under the influence, then the effects wearing off, the anxiety returning, and the cycle repeats.
Once again, watching Rebecca react is priceless 😅.
She is the vocal athlete.
"Never stop singing. " 😊
I love how she tells herself (or the voices in her head) to shush!
😂😂😂😂 This is a musical orgasm she says. She also says where are we going, where do we go from here. Metallica is widely known for their complex chord and tempo changes. Loved the reaction.
I love you and your channel so much, but I haven't yet seen you so without words. That's when you know it's a gem of song. Thanks for sharing and supporting music in alll shapes and forms!
