I don't see anyone mentioning this in the comments, so I'll let you know: that sound that seems like a lead guitar in the beginning is actually the bass player Cliff Burton. The man was revolutionary for the way he played the bass guitar.
I actually never knew that. Thank you for sharing that info!
Another cool Cliff tidbit.. the song Anesthesia(Pulling Teeth) was the song that caught Lars and James's attention before he was a member of Metallica and they thought he was playing a guitar
yes and he was even more aggressive beast on live shows, gotta listen those.
@@wildae. yes! Day on the green in Oakland '85 is a great example of that
Must listen to the live version to see how incredibly talented he was ruclips.net/video/qdlQyNe_9tE/видео.html
"Metallica is like the kid who goes above and beyond on the class project, embarrassing the other students." Great analogy.
that was good expression
They WERE.
Now he's graduated with honours and keeps the diploma on the back of his toilet
Yess
i can hard agree with that
Facts
"For whom the bell tolls" is the title of a novel by Ernest Hemingway. It is about the spanish civil war in the 1930s. There was this fascist dictator Franco on the one side and the republican resistance on the other. Hemingway himself was there on side of the resistance and he probably knew what he was writing about. But in the end Franco won with help of Hitler and his airforce , the Luftwaffe.
The title means " the one who dies and for whom the (funeral) bell tolls then"
...and that's why we all root for BARCA!!!!
And Hemmingway took the name from John Donne's poem of the same name as inspiration. "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."
It tolls for thee
I have a feeling he doesn't read the comments but you are exactly right
My favorite Hemingway Novel and Metallica Song
Metallica needs an invitation to perform the NFL halftime show.. hands down they are the best
Not anymore.
@@ImYourOverlord -Megadeth fan
@@matiascontreras8597 Fair to say. The only Metallica I care for is the '80s Metallica. I'm late to the Megadeth party by a long shot, but the more I hear of them, the more impressed I am...and I've learned to accept Dave's peculiar vocal style. They've delivered more of what I want to hear than Metallica from 1990 onward. As for being a fan, my view is that one is a fan of one band, one team, etc., and likes others. I'm an Iron Maiden fan, but I like Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Anthrax, Helloween, Mastadon, Iced Earth, and Sepultura. Plus some others.
No they give us the weekend whoever the fuck that is 😂
@@matiascontreras8597 im a massive Megadeth fan and still think Metallica is the better band. Arguably was the best, in their prime.
You seem to enjoy their instrumentation before he even starts singing. They do have several completely instrumental tracks that you might enjoy: Orion, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), Call of Ktulu, To Live Is To Die.
There’s one on DM too. Can’t remember the name at the moment.
@@TheoneGodfather Suicide and Redemption
Their instrumentals are so damn good!!
Orion is one I would highly suggest.
Yes!!!...TO LIVE IS TO DIE IS A MUST!!!...HE WILL BE 🤯🤯🤯
The whole album "Ride the Lighting" is a masterpiece. "Creeping Death" is another classic that you should react to. It's about the plagues of Egypt, written from the perspective of the diseases, as weird as that sounds.
Creeping Death is about the Angel of Death taking the 1st born sons of Egypt...
Creeping death is my favourite Metallica song by far its just such a good fucking song, its one of those songs that you just know is a banger without even listening to it
And when it came out,you weren't born yet
@@pastorofmuppets22 neither were you
Creeping death is some good Christian music
So the "bells" sound that you get at the beginning is not in fact bells. Lars Ulrich (Drummer) hit a large anvil with a hammer to create that iconic sound. The guitar you hear starting about 1:04 is Cliff Burton - their bass player who passed just 2 years and 1 album after this was released.
That bell sound is Cliff on his bass
@@jordanstorm7684
~Y’know that iconic bell sound at the beginning? It isn’t actually a bell. That’s drummer Lars Ulrich thwacking an anvil at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen. As producer Flemming Rasmussen recalled:
“We had an anvil in the studio, and Lars had to bang that; it could’ve been that or from a record of sound effects. But there was a really heavy, cast-iron anvil and a metal hammer, and we stuck them in an all-concrete room. He’d just go wang.”
It's both.
@@jordanstorm7684 Sorry bro but the bell sound isn’t from a bass. It is from an anvil. But cliff plays a great bass solo before the vocals starts.
Gotta do the title track! Ride The Lightning! That song kicks in a major way
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!🤘👀🤘
My exact thoughts and my favourite on the album
Creeping death is also a banger
And Fade To Black dude incredible ballad and my fav of the album
GUILTY AS CHARGED…
"Bro! This beat go stupid, bro!" That had me, a total Metallifan, rolling in laughter! Thank you so much!
Also, that opening riff right after the bells is a BASS line not guitar. Cliff Burton was a genius.
My dad was a guitarist. He used to say that you had to make the guitar Sing to call yourself a guitarist.😀❤️ I think this song is about war.❤️
I thought the song was about Daffodils and daisies
I am a guitarist and been so for over 30 years
YOUR DAD IS A SMART MAN
There are those that understand guitar and there are those that don't
YOUR DAD UNDERSTANDS
There is a time in every guitarist's journey when you get good enough (as your dad said... Make the guitar sing), at which point you sort of accidentally get caught up in the music and you close your eyes and the music takes you to a place
and in that place , You forget that you're playing, you forget that you have fingers and a fretboard, it's a place OF FEELING, and in that place Nothing matters except the music and what you can feel (and that is probably as literally as i can explain it without a person actually going there to experience it )
if you can't get the guitar to sing, if you can't get yourself to that play , You're not a guitarist..... Not really
Until it happens, you're a person with a guitar who is just hitting a few frets in sequence to produce a tune
but when you get there.. YOU UNDERSTAND and after it happens. it's not the same
Like i said... YOUR DAD UNDERSTANDS
FYI...... Why are you talking about your father in Past Tense ?
is your dad not with us anymore ?
"it's probably about some bells" lol
Fun fact: the "bell" at the beginning of the song is actually the drummer hitting an anvil with a metal bar.
(Also, you should listen to Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce)
And that “guitar” in the intro, is just a really really really distorted bass. ;)
@@nightshadespectre409 cliff ;)
@@juliancontreras6507 Hell yeah!
Fun fact: when Metallica was still good,you weren't born yet
@@pastorofmuppets22 neither were you lololo
The song is actually an adaptation of a novel
The book For Whom The Bell Tolls
@Rhonda Allan I don't know the author I heard Metallica talking about it and they talked about the song One and the book tommy got a gun I'm just a huge Metallica fan love the reaction vids
@@djtremblay7953 it was Johnny's got a gun
@@mattalvareznj that’s one
@@therookie6229 i know that read his reply
You gotta see the live version from "Cliff 'Em All".
See Cliff Burton at his best.
100% agree!
Ayyy go habs go!!!!
The moment when the lead guitarist only has 4 strings, is how I'd sum it up.
The song is about a battle taking place, the soldier is shot and killed and right as he dies he begs god for mercy, it's meant to be evocative of tragedy, violence and the bell is a metaphor for death. A lot of metal does this.
The lyrics to this song are based on the Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name, which takes place during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930's
"We don't fight Fascists because we might win. We fight Fascists because they are Fascists."
Gotta check out Seek and Destroy. Not the most deep but it’s a definite banger
Searching...
@@matheuscarvalho269 Seek and Destroy!
@@matheuscarvalho269 love your profile picture btw.
@@AethericSoul thanks man
And when it came out, you weren't born yet
The beginning riff is the bass for those that didn't already know
Yep, and there are two ways to play it: the studio way, running through a harmonizer and tapping the melody to get that higher octave on the notes, and the live way, playing way high up on the neck to get the same pitches.
Seeing your excitement and just rocking out, makes me smile
If you want to hear a fully instrumental song by Metallica, "The Call of Ktulu" is an amazing piece.
Agreed
Or to live is to die
And Orion
Wherever I may roam is a really good song by Metallica
Anything off "Black album"
@@archmagesalamar1377 No
@@loganmiller6481 its ok dude, his opinion.
You know he’s not actually into the real Metallica stuff when he suggests something of the black album. These people are the same people who say the love metal but only listens to the black album and nickleback
@@pingu6525 should that be a concern
Band: strums power chord
Jojo: HOW'D THEY EVEN DO THAT!?!!?
Lolll
I have fallen in love with Metallica for three times, first when I was a kid I just liked heavy guitars, than when I become able to listen to all of those melodies and just "got ill' with their music, after that I've read the text and translation (I didn't know english that times) - whoa, they are genious!
The live version of this song from when they performed in Mexico City is an experience!!!
As some people had pointed out, the novel is based upon the great novel written by Ernest Hemingway (that you should read!). The novel title was inspired by a poem written by John Donne (which shows up in The Walking Dead videogame). Here you have it:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Listen to “Fade to Black” and “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”
My two favourites
@@drewchristie2868 right!!
Fade to black has one of my favorite guitar solos.
The bell sound you hear is not actually a bell. They used a hammer and anvil.
Oh fr. Cool
"any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
-poem by John Donne
This was the first Metallica song I learned on guitar and bass back when I was 13, and your reaction is exactly why. Still gets me grooving and head banging every time
I’m really enjoying all these content creators listening to music they normally wouldn’t and being open minded music brings people from all walks of life together It’s heart warming
I think I found why I can't stop watching your reaction videos LFR. It's because you're not just some guy who listens to rap. You're not just some guy listening to songs. You ENJOY music. You APPRECIATE music. And as far as I can tell, you appreciate music in all of its forms.
Old life long metalhead here. This just made me so happy to watch you enjoy this. \m/
one of Metallica most epic emotional solos is the one in ''Unforgiven 3'',this song its just a masterpiece of art on its own...
This video made me very happy. I was actually smiling so uncontrollably from his reaction and it was really nice
I really like that you appreciated the riffs and instrumentation/production. A lot of people will overlook it and not see riffs or song dynamics as anything more than something to accompany vocals, which has them miss out on a lot of the beauty of metal and hard rock styles! Every aspect of a band/musician has something to say musically or literally and it makes me very happy to see people appreciate that!
Do “to live is to die”. An instrumental (almost). Some say it’s about the birth of Metallica as well as well as a tribute to the bassist that died early on. You’ll know what I mean when you hear it. Some of the best composition of music ever in my opinion.
I still have that same reaction every time I hear this one!
I’ve been watching to for awhile now young man and I adore you , I love your reactions and you are so lovable
Love how much you love this man!
Great album! Two of my favorites are Creeping Death and Ride The Lightning, but they're all great songs.
All of Metallica songs are in one way or another about some form of addiction. They are amazing, great to see their music finding diversity. 👍👍
its so crazy to see these videos tbh i love all genre of music and glad to see my fellow man listening to some music that slaps
Cracking up! Love these reactions!! “This song is about a bunch of bells or something “!!! Lol jojo you are a beast!!!!
LFR JoJo... I love your channel. Hopefully you can explain this. You've said a million times in your videos that you don't listen to this kind of music, but when you react to these songs, you seem to like it. My question is, if you like it, WHY DON'T you listen to this kind of music? Why limit yourself? I'm a white guy, but I listen to all kinds of music, including the music you say you normally only listen to (rap, hip-hop, etc). Is it that you think you'll lose some kind of cred if you start listening to this kind of music in your personal life, or do you not really enjoy it as much as you seem to in the videos? Please help me understand.
I can’t speak for him but I think these reactions have opened his mind to different genres but his go to genre is rap. If he listened to rock all the time he couldn’t do real reactions but I’m pretty sure he goes back to them after just for musical pleasure.
@@kyliebaby1391 I hope you're right, for his sake.
There's a lot of music that I like but I don't normally listen to it. If you think about it, if you're a 'music person', really not liking something is rather odd. I like plenty of music that I don't really listen to, because the music I listen to normally really triggers something else. Those are songs you know every single detail about, for example
I listen to everything but my go to is Elvis and Outlaw country. I'll listen to some 90s rap too. If it's good it's good. If it's industry out out garbage I can't feel it. Metallica hits you everytime you listen. Like the first time you heard it. At least we have some great independent artists today. If you search for them you will find it. Industry music is just garbage. I don't understand people that don't expand their playlists.
@@Elektr0hazard I like pretty much all types of music. That's not to say that I like all music. There are plenty of rock songs I don't like and same goes for any genre. But I don't limit myself to any one type of music. I have all my music loaded on my phone and most of the time, I just have it on shuffle. I could hear Waylon Jennings one song and DJ Quick or the Spice Girls next. This is not bragging, just making a point that I personally don't understand someone who is a music fan sticking to mostly just one genre. I like whatever song gets to me. Pretty much every genre has a song that can do that. And on the flip side, there is no genre that I like everything from.
I was your age when this came out.
Metal was the militia of the youth. For whom the bell tolls means when it's your time to die you die. Through the ages time marches on.
These songs are played is the surge or blitz screen of an attack in battle. They were fascinated with death and concentrated it. But thrash metal or marsh is militant in nature already outside the hair bands. Depends if you wanted a great workout you match out but if your with your chick your probably both listening to hair bands. Our social media back then was very social in person meet ups. Work hard work out harder then play hard.
Yes! I love this song. One of my favourites from metallica
Also "metallica is one of the only bands who can make their instruments sing for them"
That's just so true
Awesome reaction! You’re lovin it! How can you not!!!???? Metallica rules!!!!! 🔥⚡️🎸🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾
Blackened by Metallica
ditto
Definitely blackened. Maybe even react to a live version. Metallica's even better live
I haven’t seen anyone say you should listen to Fight Fire with Fire or Orion yet, those are a couple of my favorite Metallica tracks. I’m not sure if you’ll love Orion, it’s just an instrumental track, but it sounds amazing
Oh, Orion is more than "just an instrumental track," but then you already know ;)
Fade to black is a must for you. Takes you on a ride from soft and melodic to a head bangers journey by the end. True masterpiece
dude you are vibing so much, somehow thats make me happy
Just a heads up with these heavier songs (especially in Metallica’s case) the instruments are supposed to be the main part of the song where the singing compliments it, where as in rap the focus of the song is usually on the rapping/singing. Also with Metallica their songs are a template to playing live and they always play better live (in short listen to Metallica live). Metallica are also not trying to embarrass other bands they are just making music that they love and they have done so well because they always go above and beyond with their songs.
Easily one of the best Metallica songs ever!
You hit the nail on the head when you say their instruments do the singing for them exactly bro🤘
The song is about going into battle and the will to live to get you through it. Love your channel!!
Ohh yeahhhh.The unforgiven ii next i got good lyrics
Since you said during this song it's amazing how there instruments sing for then in the beginning. Please check out ORION by Metallica. You'll enjoy that song. All instruments , no vocals . It's awesome.
2:13 that part where he stops bopping his head and has that look on his face and is like “yooooo this shit hits different” 😂 yeah man I don’t blame you for freezing at that part because I felt the same exact way when I first heard it, Metallica is the king of Metal and always will be.
Bro - again - maximum respect - you have more of a musician in you than a lot of musician i know. You instantly recognize great harmonies and also song structures. A lot of "musicians" are not able to do that. They do not understand music. You do. So you really have more of a musician in you than such "musicians"(they call themselves musicians but they are not).
Respect bro. You are more of a musician than you know by yourself. You just never explored it, maybe because the lack of possibilities, but you have a intuitive understanding of music. And thats what good and talented musicians have.
Please react to:
Nirvana-In Bloom
Black Sabbath-Electric Funeral
He HAS to hear In Bloom
"Electric Funeral " might physically hurt him.
@@kevinhegwood615 but in a good way
@@kevinhegwood615 I hope he watches the music video of it with the nukes and shit. lol
In Bloom 100%
It's about war. More specifically, soldiers fighting and dying for pieces of ground they have no true connection to
Thank You Britton Thompson.
I love seeing your reactions to this music of gold. Keep up the good videos
Your reactions make me smile so much
Could you react to the band Scorpions

Yes, the first album Of Scorpions
Yes scorpions
Scorpions "Blackout"

react to slash’s godfather theme live in tokyo please
This was what my generation grew up listening to. In the locker room prepping for our football games we listened to metallica or megadeth. By the time we made it to the field adrenaline was through the roof. Our coaches knew what they were doing hehe. These songs are about going into battle.
Epic!! This song was one that I grew up on that I will never forget where I was and who I was with hearing it!!
Okay, I just checked and you have never done The Hu Band.
Please react to the video Wolf Totem
You will be pleasantly surprised
I don't know if he's ready for Hu.
Please do Metallica dyers eve (with lyrics)
This is my favorite song from this band. Also to understand you "toll" the bell when someone dies.
I always love watching hip hop folks listen to classic metal xD we all got more in common then we think. Fucking a man! Loving ya!
The bells represent someone dying. Old tradition. The song is about someone dying in a war. That's kind of the theme of the whole album.
Bro, you have to listen to "sad but true." amazing song. "the unforgiven" is another good one.
and the cover of "Sad But True" by The Hu!
Welcome to Metalica my friend...your reaction... priceless.
I remember hearing this album on the radio and then flipping the station and Dr Dre would be on. I loved it listened to it all back then!
You gotta check out Metallica’s Unforgiven, fuel, and sad but true. You should check out the garden of Eden by Guns and roses I assure you that you’ll love it!
This is one of my favorite metallica songs
Awesome video dude!
I love people from the hip hop community listening to metal. I love to watch their reactions and they all say the same thing "omg the talent it takes to play like that" and "omg the drums are fire!"
1:54 my dude headbanging, love it!
to answer your question For whom the bell tolls is about the novel of the same name by Ernest Hemmingway it talks about soldiers dying over a hill, a piece of land.
"for whom the bell tolls? it tolls for thee..."
One of the things you are starting to see is that a lot of songs have stories and meaning behind them and sometime it does help knowing the story to understand what the song means.
Great reaction !!
The best part of all these songs is that they all have been inspired by interesting events or personal experiences.
Yeh man for sure one of their best songs!
They are playing in Louisville KY in September you should go! Nothing beats a live show!
So interesting about the bell, the bell sound was made with an anvil and for whom the bell tolls actually sounds more sharp because flemming tuned the song to match the tone of the bell. Geniuses
Man you're as old as my second daughter. She loves rap, but my kids have listened to all this old classic metal for years, as they grew up. Seen Metallica 13 times and they still never get old.
Amazing reaction brother
I love this channel🤘🏼
This is Beautiful 👊 Young Bro into it 😎
that "bell" is an anvil that was hit in the studio. they made their own sample and used it throughout this track.
that little guitar intro in the beggining is actually a bass and it was played by cliff burton and I think you should check anesthesia pulling teeth, it's a bass solo and its the coolest shit ever
Bro everything you said was legit spot on lol
LOVE THIS
In 3rd grade I slowly turned my friend into a Rock/Metal fan because he used to like rap/hip hop and now he's one of the biggest Metal Heads I know in 6th grade 😂
Awesome, I love this music
the guitar part you sang, is an arpegio using triplets(playing 3 notes evenly spaced in the time it usually takes to play 2 notes). one of its many uses(whole sections in only triplets) is to convey conflict.
There are literal bells in the song and then the power chords that match the bells.
I got to hear alot of their songs live and this was one of them 😊😊 love Metallica
The songs about soldiers and war. “Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky” is the sounds of warfare and it’s also shown in “Stiffened wounds test their pride”
