FUN FACT: This is such an important and iconic track that it is archived in the America's National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress back in 2016, and was the first heavy metal to be entered into that archive.
@dropbarracuda Not to take away from your point, but I wonder why the National Recording Registry is so selective? As a “national recording registry,” one would think the goal is to preserve the history of a wide range of music recordings - not every single one, obviously, but only registering the songs considered iconic seems really limited, don’t you think? But I’m probably missing something. Sorry if this is too off topic. I was just wondering about it….
the song is the story of the 3 stages of addiction. The buildup, the excitement of getting the drugs initial euphoric feeling. The middle part of the song is the high itself, beautiful melodies that put you in your feelings. The need for more. The end of the song is the downfall and the collapse that happens when you withdraw or have no more drugs and how the drugs literally become the most important thing. you continue to chase that middle part of the song. The way this song is structured and put together is nothing shy of a masterpiece.
I would add that the 1st and 2nd part is from the drugp point of view, the bridge is the High and hangover and the final part is the ultimate high and death. In the studio version you can get it clearer. It's an amazing story telling.
To me the song is in 4 parts. the drug is screaming at the addict and the addict gives in That is where you see the song slow down and that is the euphoria After that you have the addict screening back at the master But he only gets to scream back for a short time and then the master takes over and Screams back at the addict "the puppet"
The songs verses are written about drug addiction from first person perspective of the drug itself. The drug itself is telling you just how powerless you are against it. Then, the part that goes "Master, Master where are all the dreams I've been after, you've promised only lies...etc." is from the perspective of the addict. Truly a genius creative concept.
This video is from the movie they did called "Through The Never" (which is also a name of one of their songs). It is a movie that is of a couple of their concerts that were edited together with extra stuff added in. This song is LEGENDARY; not just in their catalog but in heavy metal / rock genre overall. There is not "official" music video for his song as it was on an album that predates them doing music videos. So don't let the "movie" cut of this song lure you away from lyrical meaning of the song. It's overall about drug / substance abuse. Reference the line: "Chop your breakfast on a mirror". Drugs are the 'master' and you are the 'puppet'...
The concert was done in Vancover Canada 🇨🇦 It was filmed in one night at Rodgers Arena.I was there and for thier two rehearsal concerts in Edmonton Alberta!
I was a Metallica kid right from the start - Master of Puppets is probably their best album ever. This song is the seminal one people who love Metallica will always mention first..... Their arrangements and lyrics are really really great. Nothing like putting the Master of Puppets album on and blasting your eardrums at eleven..! (If you watched Stranger Things, you'll know this very recently)
Excuse me? Metal is satanic? According to whom? There are several metal bands that perform Christian music. Stryper and Scandinavian Metal Praise are just a couple that jump to mind. 🤔🧐
@@PaccekabuddhaI'm not sure I understand your comment. Not everyone that listens to Metallica is a drug user. The 2 objects are not mutually inclusiveof one another.
@@lenawright1857 I said, people who know nothing about metal think it is satanic. Pegasus even said that is what he thought. I don't think that - been a metal head all my life and never found myself worshipping Satan lol.
Man... I was AT that concert! It was absolutely amazing! Always been a Metallica fan ever since I was a kid. Used to listen to their albums just to quiet my mind so I could sleep. I am glad I got to see them live.
Kill’em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master of Puppets all had incredible impact from Cliff Burton the original bassist, who was classically trained and brought an orchestral feel and approach to Metallica. A lot of their early stuff are like books, each song a beginning middle and end. Check out For Whom the Bell Tolls and Fade to Black off the Ride the Lightning album! You won’t regret it! Love what yall do, I just found you a couple weeks ago and your rock/metal reactions are epic and wonderful rolled into one. Keep it up, as a fellow 40 y/o yall hit close to the heart!
This was filmed in Vancover Canada 🇨🇦 for thier Into the never movie.They did two rehearsal concerts in Edmonton Alberta!I was there for both.What a great band ❤
I just discovered your channel. Frankly, it’s for the Metallica reactions. I like that you both are life experienced, yet coming to this with fresh ears and a fresh mind relative to Metallica and rock in general. Keep up the great content!
I DID! actually saw the " damage Inc tour " ( puppets album ) in Edmonton at the convention center, maybe 1500 people at most. Creeping death was cool, red lights and everybody screaming die. Saw black album too, took my wife ( no drinks or drugs ) had great seats middle of section and a section away and she doesn't remember it! How can you not remember the snake pit!
It's such a deep song taking you through the stages of addiction and depending on what that vice might be leaves it open for the listener to relate. Appreciate you guys giving a shout out to them for allowing reaction videos. Because people that grew up listening to deep metal and rock songs love seeing people's first reactions to songs. It's amazing to see people's first reactions to powerful songs once the meaning clicks for them, whatever that meaning may be.
They are amazing live still to this day! I’ve seen them live at least half a dozen times over the years. First time was in 1986 and latest was 2018. Their song whiplash from their first album has a line that says “ we’ll never stop. We’ll never quit cuz we’re Metallica”. They haven’t yet! James is a master at writing lyrics. They are usually deeply personal to James but vague enough for the listener to interpret unto themselves.
I did high school from 88-91, in Metallica's heyday. I love them now maybe more than I did then and a big part of that comes from watching people discover them for the first time. They are beautiful! So are you! Thanks for doing this
I am danish, same as the drummer Lars Ulrich. I have seen them live 6 times and next year I am going to their double concert. Two concerts, two days in a row. They won't play the same track twice! Can't wait!
As I'm watching this, smoking a joint, the buzz is kickin' in as the euphoric guitar kicks in, I felt I lived another layer of the song in real time. The journey is so layered by the structure and tone. It's one of the best songs ever written.
Love your guys reaction. I'm the same age as you, I grew up into Rock music and always thought Rap, Hip-Hop wasn't my jam. As I grew musically and physically I got into Rap and Hip-Hop and learned that our opposing genres were never that far apart. Great music, deep meanings, all music is glorious, we were all fighting against the same system!
i was at this exact show, it was the second last show of the tour ... the venue was rogers arena in vancouver, british colombia, canada ...... every song i ever wanted to hear live all in one show, fantastic :)
Bad ass song fuck yeah love when you break down some metal gods . Ride the lightning, justice for all or fight fire with fire are all amazing songs that would be dope ass break downs . Don & Black Pegasus 🐐🐐🐐of podcast 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Saw them live in Singapore in 2018 i think. They hardly come to this side of the world but when they did, they brought all the staple songs w em. And when they play this song, everyone went off!!! It was the best concert ive ever been to. Mad
I recommend checking out a 3 sister rock band from Mexico, they love Metallica & have an incredibly infectious energy. The Warning⚡ is made up of Daniela (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Paulina (Drums, Vocals) & Alejandra (Bass, Backing Vocals) 2014 their cover of Enter Sandman by Metallica went viral (14, 12, 9 yrs old respectively). 2019 they did a live cover of Atlas, Rise! by Metallica at the Whisky A GoGo 2021 at the invitation of Metallica they did a re-imagining of Enter Sandman for the Blacklist album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Black album Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength, opening for Foo Fighters, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Muse along with their own headline tours. Their original music is also fantastic, anything from “Live at Teatro Metropólitan (CDMX)” will showcase their current live wall of sound.
You really should react to Metallica from their actual prime, between 1984-1994, I guess reactors choose newer concerts because the video quality is better, but the energy and performances of the old concerts are on a completely different level, it's like watching a totally different band.
I definitely recommend seeing the Master Of Puppets live show they did in 2019 in Manchester, England. It was pouring rain. Poor Lars on the drums was drenched. XD
Great reaction! Funny tidbit about this song and the character of the band, I know a young lady who plays the bagpipes and does a cover of this on the pipes, some AH gave her sh.. on the tik tak tok about how bagpipes have no place doesn’t belong in Metallica and Jim wouldn’t approve and the band chimed in to her defense and thought it was awesome!! Totally cool! Guys of this caliber standing up for a small artist. Speaks volumes to their character. (Actually a similar thing happened with a Charlie Daniel’s song lol)
"Chop your breakfast on a mirror" hint, hint... This song brings me back, thank you for this!! I miss going to the old rock nightclubs of the 80's & early 90's with the mosh pits. There were so many here on Long Island back then. Today there are absolutely none, like they were back then. Although, at pushing the age of 60, the last place I need to be is a mosh pit, lol. Although, I miss that era & music so much. Watching you Head Bang to this, is comical, and reminiscent at the same time, lol.
You need to react to Iron Madien. You can gethistory lessons with songs like The Trooper, Alexander The Great, Run to the Hills, Aces Higher. There is also great writing in songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark, Ces High, Phantom of the Oprea. You will greatly appreciate the writing and showmanship. Not to mention the lead singer( Bruce Dickinson's) voice.
This song is definitely fire! I used to play Metallica on cassette lol to pump myself up going to work. My favorite Metallica song is Eye of the Beholder, then Am I Evil
If you gonna do more Metallica take a preformance from live in Seattle 89, like the tracks Battery or Whiplash when they where in their prime is next level stuff.
Im not a paid member, but when my daughter decided to join the USAF, I made her listen to Metallica's "The day that Never comes." I'm so very proud that she chose to join our Armed Forces. I may not always support every war we fight, but I damn sure support the men and WOMEN that fight for us and those that can't fight for themselves.🤷♀️
I love your vids! I am a metal head through and through, and I notice you spend alot of time on the lyrics. Metal heads feel the music more than the lyrics.
I was at this tour on the floor. in Vancouver. I was so close Kirk Hammett sweat on me during Ride the lightning. it was so nuts. Metallica doesn't come to Canada often so when they do its always nuts. This concert was among my top all time, only topped by some sentimental concerts.
Hi BP, Don...another masterpiece from Metallica. Its awesome rocking with FUQBOYZ, seeing BP goin' crazy and Don mesmerised. Metallica performances live, the best!!...Peace🤙☝️😌
I think all the views to reactions to old school Metallica and such is our generation looking for validation. We knew it was awesome music and were looked down on or shunned for listening to it... and now we get to sort of relive the excitement of someone hearing it for the first time and understanding why we loved it so much.
This is one of the best metal albums of all time!! Master came out in 1986. 1986 was probably the best year for thrash metal. 4 of the beat albums came out that year! The secret behind master of puppets was cliff burton!! Great reaction!!
My friends who are a tribute to Metallica (Damage Inc) are currently touring with Metallica. They play the off nights that Metallica doesn't play. Example; Metallica plays Friday night, Damage Inc plays Saturday night, Metallica plays Sunday night then off to the next city. My friends have also been able to sit at Lars drum kit, hold their guitars, etc. They are playing on the exact same stage just not at the same time.
Bp please react to Shinedown they are a great rock group also I do love Metallica they were my first love but I opened to more. The Sound Of Madness by Shinedown is still my all time favorite along with 45❤❤
This was shot in Edmonton, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia. And is from their movie “Through the Never” which was like a very cool side story intertwined with a Metallica concert, very unique concept, I enjoyed the movie
Megadeath, Black Flag, Black Label Society (song In This River as it's a tribute to Dimebag Darrell from Pantera. Zakk Wylde was big bros with Dimebag), UK 80s band Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing, Industrial Disease, Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms), Hardcore Superstar (Scandinavian Metal Band), Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.... Welcome To The World of METAAAAL..!!!! 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻
The song is literally about hard drug addiction. "Chop your breakfast on a mirror."? Cocaine, brother... And then "Needlework the way, never you betray..." possibly a referencen to Heroine there. But no man, this song in 2024 is 38 years old. Released in 1986 on the album "Master of Puppets" became one of Metallica's signature Hits. For a great cover of this song, check out LILIAC's cover from March 2021, the 35th anniversary of the album. But here's the catch, the vocalist is a young lady, only 21-ish at the time, but with the pipes to pull it off.
For those of us that love and play metal, we love sharing the music with people. For most of us, our music wasnt something we could share without some form of judgement. Thanks guys. Its refreshing to see dudes who dont usually listen to this stuff go into this with an open mind. Much love - Frank -
Hey brothas from another mother,welcome to the club of wearing googs,tints are making a comeback,for a chrono compo pay attention to the bass players, Cliff on Orion is tantamount to Geezer Butler's N.I.B. using foot pedal effects & distortion to high ART, Then Jason's persona genuina held it ALL together not just the "Pocket" & forced JAMES & LARS to look in the mirror until Robert put the A-R-T back in Part-A❤❤❤😊
1st time i saw metallica i was 17 master of puppets tour. Metal church opened. Im 53 now. Seen them 10 times live. This concert was so good. The last song before encore the pillars on the stage collapses a guy swinging 40 feet above stage on fire. There were flames shooting up from the stage. Im pretty sure it was all staged. About 10 minutes after everything settle down we didn't jnowbwhat the fuck just happened. They came out and played 3 more songs using arena speakers. Epic concert. I think godsmack or avenged sevenfold opened. Ya bro you missed out early on there stage production was massive. Have a huge statue of liberty on stage then it collapses on stage. the pyrotechnics of the song one at the beginning of it sic
I believe One was their first ever video for MTV as Justice For All was their first dip into the mainstream so songs from their earlier albums were all word of mouth. So no radio or video for songs on albums like Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning or Kill Them All. These all had bassist Cliff Burton and for me were their best stuff.
Listen to the fan favorite Orion (play the album track) which is an instrumental. Something unheard of at the time and showed their classical influences. Highly praised song in the world of metal. Truly amazing song.
I'm 54 and never realized that it was about drug addiction until about a year ago and that's sad i feel that I never knew that and I have been listening to them since they first came out great job guys on your reactions
If the opportunity arises, go and see Metallica. I have seen over 1,000 concerts in my life, and I can honestly say there is NOTHING quite like a Metallica concert. I saw them play Woodstock 1994 and they do a song where the crowd starts chanting “Die! Die!” (The song is Creeping Death) and being in the middle of a crowd of 300,000 people chanting that was something I could never forget, even if I wanted to. I live all music, and seeing musicians, nothing is like a Metallica show.
Metallica has talked about seeing their friends in other bands just destroying themselves with drug addiction. They famously called it “what not to do”. Ironically, alcohol almost did that to Metallica on numerous occasions. This song hits home for James.
This song had a huge resurgence in 2022 due to its appearance in Stranger Things Season 4 Finale, bringing it to younger audiences. The actor that played Eddie in the show did actually play the song - there are videos of him jamming with the band.
if you notice the guitar solo is representing the euphoria of the high and as you are coming down the beat gets more intense like the desperate need for your next fix of your chosen drug what I got from it in the 80s
Great reaction as always! I have to recommend Sabaton and Nightwish to you. --> Sabaton: "En livstid i krig" (Live) - If you want some crazy crowd inclusion, "Christmas Truce" (Music video). The band mostly write of humanity and war. Nightwish: "Nemo" (Live with Tarja Turunen), "Ghost love score" (Live with Floor Jansen), "The Poet And The Pendulum" (Live with Floor Jansen) Trivia: Floor Jansen is married to the singer in Sabaton.
Another fun fact. They are one of only few bands that played shows on all continents including Antarctica. More Metallica please. Cannot overdose classics.. Great reaction.❤😊
I'm enjoying your rock journey. This is my childhood. Another legendary rock band you need to react to is Queen. Definitely bohemian rhapsody, under pressure, fat bottom girls. 💥💥💣💣
Just saw them my 5th and 6th time in Detroit. If you want a true reaction, go see them live. They don't disappoint and are very welcoming to new fans. Of all concerts I've been to, Metallica is by far the best.
This song is the title track of their 3rd album from 1986. No "official" music video from that far back. However there are a ton of official live concert reeleases that feature this song. Overall the album is about manipulation. Drugs, anger, government, religion etc. The crosses most closely relate to Disposable Heroes which is track 5 about govt sacrificing soldiers.

@@saraohara2504Nah best to narrow it down than just include random ass songs. It was introduced for a reason
Why is Master of Puppets listed as Pop music in the ANRR??? WTF?!
@@oldb12 pop is just short for "popular", which the song very much is
the song is the story of the 3 stages of addiction. The buildup, the excitement of getting the drugs initial euphoric feeling.

EXACTLY! I post this same thing on tons of reactions. Great breakdown.
The sad truth of it all
I would add that the 1st and 2nd part is from the drugp point of view, the bridge is the High and hangover and the final part is the ultimate high and death. In the studio version you can get it clearer. It's an amazing story telling.
To me the song is in 4 parts.
the drug is screaming at the addict and the addict gives in
That is where you see the song slow down and that is the euphoria
After that you have the addict screening back at the master
But he only gets to scream back for a short time and then the master takes over and Screams back at the addict "the puppet"

Master of Puppets was actually released in 1986. The album was actually called Master of Puppets as well. This 2013 version was a reproduction.

Love Through the Never, great film
Love when you react to Metal because it's new to you, but you're also very insightful and thoughtful🤘🤘
thank you, appreciate that
Metallica is my all time favorite band ever. They touch my soul like no one else. Perfect blend of harmony and heavy, and amazing lyrics from James.
Listen, this song is a masterpiece lyrically musically. It’s amazing on so many levels.

I apologize for misunderstanding.
Go see them live! It’s seriously the best concert I’ve ever been to! And if you can be near the stage and mosh a little, enjoy it!
I was fortunate to see Metallica live on several occasions. Master of Puppets, Justice For All, and the Black tours. Fucking amazing shows.
Man... I was AT that concert! It was absolutely amazing! Always been a Metallica fan ever since I was a kid. Used to listen to their albums just to quiet my mind so I could sleep. I am glad I got to see them live.
Kill’em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master of Puppets all had incredible impact from Cliff Burton the original bassist, who was classically trained and brought an orchestral feel and approach to Metallica.

Can't stop the battery
This was filmed in Vancover Canada 🇨🇦 for thier Into the never movie.They did two rehearsal concerts in Edmonton Alberta!I was there for both.What a great band ❤

“Chop your breakfast on a mirror” is probably the biggest tell. Track about addiction and how the drug controls the addict

Great reaction, love a bit of Metallica 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Turn it up loud enough, you can hear the crowd singing all the guitar solo notes in the slower bridge. Love it so much.
PLEASE REACT ...metallica for whom the bell tolls live cliff burton 👍👍👍👍👍

2021 at the invitation of Metallica they did a re-imagining of Enter Sandman for the Blacklist album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Black album
Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength, opening for Foo Fighters, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Muse along with their own headline tours.
Their original music is also fantastic, anything from “Live at Teatro Metropólitan (CDMX)” will showcase their current live wall of sound.
I agree, check out The Warning!
Also one to listen to from metallica is. For whom the bell tolls
You got me rockin out in the middle of the day! Love Metallica
First time I saw Metallica was in 1987. Always react to live performances. They are awesome live. Four leaf clover live is another great one.
You really should react to Metallica from their actual prime, between 1984-1994, I guess reactors choose newer concerts because the video quality is better, but the energy and performances of the old concerts are on a completely different level, it's like watching a totally different band.
Cool...the new concerts are great too
No one could touch them in the 80s and 90s.
I definitely recommend seeing the Master Of Puppets live show they did in 2019 in Manchester, England. It was pouring rain. Poor Lars on the drums was drenched. XD
Great reaction!
Funny tidbit about this song and the character of the band, I know a young lady who plays the bagpipes and does a cover of this on the pipes, some AH gave her sh.. on the tik tak tok about how bagpipes have no place doesn’t belong in Metallica and Jim wouldn’t approve and the band chimed in to her defense and thought it was awesome!!

You need to react to Iron Madien. You can gethistory lessons with songs like The Trooper, Alexander The Great, Run to the Hills, Aces Higher. There is also great writing in songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark, Ces High, Phantom of the Oprea. You will greatly appreciate the writing and showmanship. Not to mention the lead singer( Bruce Dickinson's) voice.
"Orion" please. It is 100% only instrumental. But it is a total vibe. You will absolutely love it
This song is definitely fire! I used to play Metallica on cassette lol to pump myself up going to work. My favorite Metallica song is Eye of the Beholder, then Am I Evil
Saw Metallica play at Download last year ....amazing. their music could be heard 15 miles away 🤘🤘 Would recommend seeing them live
great reaction this video was taken from the movie that metallica released in 2013 called Through the Never
If you gonna do more Metallica take a preformance from live in Seattle 89, like the tracks Battery or Whiplash when they where in their prime is next level stuff.
Battery is epic!
my dad made me listen to old rock my whole life and im so grateful , that's real music right there
Not the "live" version I would've recommended but why not, your reactions are always great to see
yeah this isnt great. its too fast. theres no pocket
Fire reaction guys 🔥
I was actually at one of the concerts they filmed at for their movie! Edmonton AB. It was my first time seeing them and it was awesome haha
I was at that Edmonton concert in 2012 as well. Seen them 5 times in Edmonton and twice in Saskatoon over the last 30 years.
Im not a paid member, but when my daughter decided to join the USAF, I made her listen to Metallica's "The day that Never comes." I'm so very proud that she chose to join our Armed Forces. I may not always support every war we fight, but I damn sure support the men and WOMEN that fight for us and those that can't fight for themselves.🤷♀️
I have the S&M version of this on my treadmill playlist. The interlude part I turn the speed down and the incline way up and just push through.
I love your vids! I am a metal head through and through, and I notice you spend alot of time on the lyrics. Metal heads feel the music more than the lyrics.
I was at this tour on the floor. in Vancouver. I was so close Kirk Hammett sweat on me during Ride the lightning. it was so nuts. Metallica doesn't come to Canada often so when they do its always nuts. This concert was among my top all time, only topped by some sentimental concerts.
Hi BP, Don...another masterpiece from Metallica. Its awesome rocking with FUQBOYZ, seeing BP goin' crazy and Don mesmerised. Metallica performances live, the best!!...Peace🤙☝️😌
I think all the views to reactions to old school Metallica and such is our generation looking for validation. We knew it was awesome music and were looked down on or shunned for listening to it... and now we get to sort of relive the excitement of someone hearing it for the first time and understanding why we loved it so much.
This is one of the best metal albums of all time!! Master came out in 1986. 1986 was probably the best year for thrash metal. 4 of the beat albums came out that year! The secret behind master of puppets was cliff burton!! Great reaction!!
My friends who are a tribute to Metallica (Damage Inc) are currently touring with Metallica. They play the off nights that Metallica doesn't play. Example; Metallica plays Friday night, Damage Inc plays Saturday night, Metallica plays Sunday night then off to the next city. My friends have also been able to sit at Lars drum kit, hold their guitars, etc. They are playing on the exact same stage just not at the same time.
Bp please react to Shinedown they are a great rock group also I do love Metallica they were my first love but I opened to more. The Sound Of Madness by Shinedown is still my all time favorite along with 45❤❤
I was in the crowd for the taping of this! Vancouver, Canada
This was shot in Edmonton, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia. And is from their movie “Through the Never” which was like a very cool side story intertwined with a Metallica concert, very unique concept, I enjoyed the movie
My favorite song of theirs. 3 album 1983 with Cliff Burton on bass before he died in buss crash.
STOP SAYING ENTER THE SANDMAN! IT'S ENTER SANDMAN!
Megadeath, Black Flag, Black Label Society (song In This River as it's a tribute to Dimebag Darrell from Pantera. Zakk Wylde was big bros with Dimebag), UK 80s band Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing, Industrial Disease, Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms), Hardcore Superstar (Scandinavian Metal Band), Deep Purple, Black Sabbath....
Welcome To The World of METAAAAL..!!!!
🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻
We saw them for the 40th anniversary show. It was amazing.
I got this DVD at home , greeting from Berlin ( Germany )
10:39 YES!!!!! PLEASE DIVE INTO PUNK ROCK!!!!!! That is my heart. Check out Suicidal Tendencies Institutionalized
The song is literally about hard drug addiction. "Chop your breakfast on a mirror."? Cocaine, brother... And then "Needlework the way, never you betray..." possibly a referencen to Heroine there.
But no man, this song in 2024 is 38 years old. Released in 1986 on the album "Master of Puppets" became one of Metallica's signature Hits. For a great cover of this song, check out LILIAC's cover from March 2021, the 35th anniversary of the album. But here's the catch, the vocalist is a young lady, only 21-ish at the time, but with the pipes to pull it off.
For those of us that love and play metal, we love sharing the music with people. For most of us, our music wasnt something we could share without some form of judgement. Thanks guys. Its refreshing to see dudes who dont usually listen to this stuff go into this with an open mind. Much love

Hey brothas from another mother,welcome to the club of wearing googs,tints are making a comeback,for a chrono compo pay attention to the bass players, Cliff on Orion is tantamount to Geezer Butler's N.I.B. using foot pedal effects & distortion to high ART, Then Jason's persona genuina held it ALL together not just the "Pocket" & forced JAMES & LARS to look in the mirror until Robert put the A-R-T back in Part-A❤❤❤😊
1st time i saw metallica i was 17 master of puppets tour. Metal church opened. Im 53 now. Seen them 10 times live. This concert was so good. The last song before encore the pillars on the stage collapses a guy swinging 40 feet above stage on fire. There were flames shooting up from the stage. Im pretty sure it was all staged. About 10 minutes after everything settle down we didn't jnowbwhat the fuck just happened. They came out and played 3 more songs using arena speakers. Epic concert. I think godsmack or avenged sevenfold opened. Ya bro you missed out early on there stage production was massive. Have a huge statue of liberty on stage then it collapses on stage. the pyrotechnics of the song one at the beginning of it sic
I believe One was their first ever video for MTV as Justice For All was their first dip into the mainstream so songs from their earlier albums were all word of mouth. So no radio or video for songs on albums like Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning or Kill Them All.
These all had bassist Cliff Burton and for me were their best stuff.
Listen to the fan favorite Orion (play the album track) which is an instrumental. Something unheard of at the time and showed their classical influences. Highly praised song in the world of metal. Truly amazing song.
More Metallica more metal!!!!!!!!!! I'm a 46 yr mom and I love Rock, metal and Death CORE METAL!
I'm 54 and never realized that it was about drug addiction until about a year ago and that's sad i feel that I never knew that and I have been listening to them since they first came out great job guys on your reactions
The imagery is from their album covers “Master of Puppets” and “ “Justice for All”. This released in 1986. Their 1st video was “One” in 1989
Disposable Heroes is in my opnion one of their best ever songs, with a good message, and insane skill on their instruments
I turned my husband of 70 years onto Metallica and now he rocks on it all the time...
It's about cocaine...the one line says " chop your breakfast on a mirror"
If the opportunity arises, go and see Metallica. I have seen over 1,000 concerts in my life, and I can honestly say there is NOTHING quite like a Metallica concert. I saw them play Woodstock 1994 and they do a song where the crowd starts chanting “Die! Die!” (The song is Creeping Death) and being in the middle of a crowd of 300,000 people chanting that was something I could never forget, even if I wanted to. I live all music, and seeing musicians, nothing is like a Metallica show.
Metallica has talked about seeing their friends in other bands just destroying themselves with drug addiction. They famously called it “what not to do”. Ironically, alcohol almost did that to Metallica on numerous occasions. This song hits home for James.
Such an awesome album
When this song came out, Clift Burton was the bassist, after he passed away in the bus crash, Jason Newsted took over.
James was spitting bars on this song and this whole album. 🔥
This song had a huge resurgence in 2022 due to its appearance in Stranger Things Season 4 Finale, bringing it to younger audiences. The actor that played Eddie in the show did actually play the song - there are videos of him jamming with the band.
if you notice the guitar solo is representing the euphoria of the high and as you are coming down the beat gets more intense like the desperate need for your next fix of your chosen drug what I got from it in the 80s
Best band ever 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
The Master of Puppets album is stored in the Library of Congress as an important piece music history.
The footage is from their MOVIE

Thanks for this, I was wondering what it was from. Going to have to search that out now.
Great reaction as always! I have to recommend Sabaton and Nightwish to you. -->
Sabaton: "En livstid i krig" (Live) - If you want some crazy crowd inclusion, "Christmas Truce" (Music video). The band mostly write of humanity and war.
Nightwish: "Nemo" (Live with Tarja Turunen), "Ghost love score" (Live with Floor Jansen), "The Poet And The Pendulum" (Live with Floor Jansen)
Trivia: Floor Jansen is married to the singer in Sabaton.
Another fun fact. They are one of only few bands that played shows on all continents including Antarctica. More Metallica please. Cannot overdose classics.. Great reaction.❤😊
I'm enjoying your rock journey. This is my childhood. Another legendary rock band you need to react to is Queen. Definitely bohemian rhapsody, under pressure, fat bottom girls. 💥💥💣💣
Just saw them my 5th and 6th time in Detroit. If you want a true reaction, go see them live. They don't disappoint and are very welcoming to new fans. Of all concerts I've been to, Metallica is by far the best.
This song is the title track of their 3rd album from 1986. No "official" music video from that far back. However there are a ton of official live concert reeleases that feature this song.
Overall the album is about manipulation. Drugs, anger, government, religion etc. The crosses most closely relate to Disposable Heroes which is track 5 about govt sacrificing soldiers.
