When Lars does the double foot peddle's when the guitar solo ends is the best part of the song it was skipped..... "Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell!" after almost 40 years it still gives me chills to this day.
As an old head that grew up on Metallica, the kid with the Metallica shirt gets it...the commentary was spot on, even with the comments about how their style has changed, and you can tell they are an actual fan.
I love how much of a metalhead Vivienne is! When I first saw her as a Reactor, it's not something I would have expected. It just goes to show you you can't take anyone at face value.
My sons are 19 years apart. They both love metal. I took the older one to see Metallica, 'cause he introduced me to them. 20 years later, I took the younger one to see Metallica. But the very best was when they both played Metallica, together, as they can both play guitar. I'm one proud metal mom! 😁🎸

I think it's crazy so many of y'all are judging these kids lmao. Most of them are obviously hearing these songs for the first time, and even if they aren't and are kind of fans (like vivienne), they're obviously enjoying it. Why the hate? Just let them vibe, jesus. As someone who loves Metallica and is around their age, let them headbang lol. Seeing them headbang means they like it, which as Metallica fans, you should be appreciating. Not judging just cause they aren't as diehard as you want them to be.
I think people's biggest problem is that they're not really honest reactions. It's come out that everyone is given instructions on how to act and the gist of what to say.
@@totally100darthvader7 I think that's just your perception, though. To me, they all look like they're enjoying themselves. You can tell which ones don't really listen to metal music but I think they were all still jamming out. Hell, Vivienne literally broke her headphone cord bc she was headbanging so hard.
I've listened to most songs for the first time myself, and I've NEVER reacted this poorly to any of their songs, especially One or Master of Puppets. I know a thing called respect. For example, I know the difference between ROCK AND METAL
They should listen to more Thrash Metal like Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Tankard, DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, SOD, MOD, Municipal Waste and Sepultura. That blonde girl is a true Metalhead,
@@kronosrazer And interestingly, she know most of the songs and even more about the band, I don't think a poser would be so enthusiasthic about a band.
@@RashelSanchez-po9crShe's very young so, so what if she was? The fact she's listening to Metallica is amazing and hopefully opens her up to more music too 🤘
Love these kids saying "It's more chill" to one of Metallica's most depressing songs, because they didn't play the fast part of One. When they Tremolo Pick the E string before the E5 power chord to F5 power chord.
yeah! or Battery, Ktulu, Damage Inc, Ride the lightning, Trapped under Ice, Harvester, Blackened, Dyers Eve, Sanitarium, Fade to Black... you know? Actual good songs
I love Vivienne's enthusiasm. She's pretty much the same for music reactions in general. But I swear i was waiting for her and Jaxon to collide when headbanging lol
13:55 - I forget the girl's name, but Dee Snyder talked about that very subject in an interview many years ago. He said it straight out: "When we wrote 'We're not gonna take it', we were poor and we were angry. People talk about our later stuff being different, well, remember: It's hard to be constantly angry when you're rich."
YES! I'd love to see just a Cradle of Filth EP. I bet they go from hating it to loving it. Once they get that feel of Dani's voice being more of an instrumental addition, but not songs chronologically. You have to end it with one of their best songs like "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" or "Nymphetamine" or "Beauty Slept in Sodom" or "Bathory Aria" or... (I could go on and on) and DEFINITELY do much better research when you're explaining the songs, themes, lyrics and albums!
I would love to see a react to women in metal. Like react to bands like jinjer, nightwish, arch enemy, spiritbox, Hailstrom, within temptation, amerathe, kittie, you know bands like that. The reactions on there faces would be priceless and awesome.
Viv and Jaxon are my two favorites on the show, because they just kinda GET it...I remember back when Jaxon was in his early teens reacting to stuff and he was just....getting it. Viv is also dope, just like Jaxon she gets it, she's got great taste in music.
Nothing Else Matters was written by James Hetfield lead vocalist and guitarist of METALLICA. Metallica and Miley were on the Howard Stern show. Elton John made a video call to talk to Metallica cause he did a cor of the song with Miley for his charity album. James Hetfield ended up crying during the call cause Elton said that Nothing Else Matters was one of the best songs ever written to him.
I’m just glad kids are getting to know metal, and I would encourage everyone to let them explore at their own rhythm, and gatekeepers should abstain live and let die.
I saw Metallica in concert in my teens. It is awesome younger generations enjoy them too! My kids certainly do! Watching kids headbang makes my heart smile!
Oh, Vivienne... For all the other things you brought to this, do not gatekeep. How fans got to liking the band is how they got there. If the first time they heard them was an episode of 'Stranger Things,' and they discovered they like Metallica, that's fine. I came to them in the late 80s post Cliff Burton era. Should the fans from before then call me a Johnny-Come-Lately nearly 40 years later? No. Your journey is not mine nor theirs. We love the music. That's what matters.
DANG! Vivienne got the gutturals locked down 😂 I love her excitement. The Vivienne and Jaxon clutched headbang was AMAZING LOL. I love how Janelle touched on how often metal is overlooked as just screamy scream music when a lot of it really does have depth. I think more and more lyrics are ignored over the music itself. Read into the lyrics, a song may just transform to something entirely new for you. THE FACT that Jaxon picked up on not liking Lars' drum tone for St. Anger is hilarious 🤣 That snare is iconic in all the wrong ways. I personally didn't hate that album but yeah, the snare tone was not great lol. These are my favorite videos with Angel in them. She always seems to resonate with these.
Google the lyrics kids. We had to read album liner lyrics. This is thrash, not exactly the loudest metal, but it's pretty close. I'm 61 and listen to Gojira. You should listen to Amazonia by Gojira as a "gateway" to the genre. Black metal is not Death metal. Black metal has subject matter that is positive. Gojira is an environmental advocacy band. It's got a great video too. The drummer, Mario, is epic.
That blonde girl definitely loved Metallica that’s how I used to rock out like crazy as teens..little hard to do that these days I’m almost 50 now lol and still love and listen to Metallica and rock of 80s and 90s
Was vibing with the blonde girl, but then she started saying they went pop with st anger and not wanting to swear. She obviously hasn't listening to any of that song

Millions of Metallica fans: "Same..."
yup sad but true still has a few good songs dirty windows invisible kid and sweet amber
I like st. Anger but I hate the drums.
They sounding god awful and ruining everything on that record.
@@hardwirecars Don't forget about "The Unnamed Feeling".
You are aware that a good portion of the Metallica fanbase has warmed up to "St. Anger" right?
I love that Jaxon even calls out the distinctly bad drum sound on St. Anger, hahaha.
whoever raised that metallica shirt girl...DID A GREAT JOB in music education!!
but not so at the rest of parenting
@@conflictica1983how so?
They only played the first section of "One" but didn't show the last part where Hetfield goes nuts on the guitar.
My wife and I had our first dance to Nothing Else Matters. The lyrics take a whole new meaning when thinking of her.
Anyone else feel like "One" didn't get the respect it deserved? Short clip, no solo reaction...
Idk id say not including cliffs base intro on for whom is worse
Yeah. Only showing the start of One and stopping before the double bass and solo totally ruins the whole song
Didn’t even talk about the story behind it
One is one of Metallica’s best songs
When Lars does the double foot peddle's when the guitar solo ends is the best part of the song it was skipped.....
"Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell!"

well if she actuallly sported a metallica band shirt i would believe you
@@conflictica1983Yep, everyone loves gatekeepers
@@WolvesHart79 while that's true, she was pretty unbearable.
I love how much of a metalhead Vivienne is! When I first saw her as a Reactor, it's not something I would have expected. It just goes to show you you can't take anyone at face value.
That was absolutely criminal for you to only play the soft part of one, that should be classed as a war crime
6:45 RIP Vivienne's headphones! The headbanging was to much for it! 🤣🤣

Loved how Vivienne made fun of Jaxon... "This is just the tip of your finger in the water!" I LOLd!

Yes but refers to James as the “Metallica guy next to Miley”. She doesn’t know a thing lmao

How you going to introduce Metallica to people and not show them Metallica in Moscow with 1.6 million fans or the Symphony orchestra compilation
They need to make a part 2 with more songs.
@@36MIKET or not..

She the biggest fan
7:46 : "it has Nirvana tones to it" er, no. it's the other way around, bro
Such dad metal.... I have never felt old before until Vivienne said that.....
Metallica has lots of young fans!
Jaxon and Vivienne are nuts. That hand grip while tandem headbanging was insane. That was low key hard. Brilliant.
"headbopping"
How can you not put "Sad But True" in the list?! My favorite one!!!
yeah! or Battery, Ktulu, Damage Inc, Ride the lightning, Trapped under Ice, Harvester, Blackened, Dyers Eve, Sanitarium, Fade to Black... you know? Actual good songs
You can tell the girl in the metallica shirt was raised right.

No one should have to listen to black metal. It sucks that bad. Now turn your phone off and get back to your intense D and D game

From me, to the father of that blonde girl, well done sir! I salute you!
LOL, even the kids say "St. Anger has crappy drums" and "Their old stuff is better" :D
RIP Cliff Burton 1962-1986. Truly an amazing bass player and down to earth human being. He was worthy of sainthood, imo.
I’m just annoyed that they didn’t show the guitar solo in one, it’s one of the greatest guitar solos ever
Exposing Teens to the mighty Hetfield, proper job.
Parents: expose your children to rock and metal so they don’t turn into these kids.
As a 50 yr old " child of the 80s " metalhead this video restores my faith in our youths
‘It’s dad metal!” Ooof, that one cut deep.
theres always one person in these vids that aggravate me
I physically wanna cry after watching these kids
Dude trying to sing like James after "Fuel" legitimately sounded great.
I’m just glad kids are getting to know metal, and I would encourage everyone to let them explore at their own rhythm, and gatekeepers should abstain live and let die.
How do you not include the solo with ONE?!?!?!?!
Watching Angel get so into these songs was everything. She's so cute
You should do a vid where metal heads react to modern pop. That would be entertaining seeing how critical they would they would be
Vivienne might not know any movies, but she knows her music.
James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich need to react to this. It really sucks that they didn't choose "The Unforgiven" for them to react to.
Sucks they didn't play Escape. That's their favorite song
Not including fade to black is criminal
nah it is to sensitive and confronting for these poor gen Z souls
Why didn’t you have them react to the transition into the breakdown on One?! That part alone changes people’s lives.
Girl in metallica shirt knows nothing about Metallica 🙏
Ong, when she tried to sing, she stuttered😭
that metallica shirt is epic
where can i buy it? It is fantastic
8:12 "I don't like the sad ones." They're all sad if you listen to the lyrics young lady
not showing them wherever may i roam? boooooo
Exactly!! There could have been a better list for sure! Lol
Yeah, that's a must... a classic. I was surprised as well.
So many bangers. Hard to choose for a short list
The Girl, with The Metallica shirt and the guy next to her would be a great couple, ngl
love how nobody noticed The Four Horsemen was also in stranger things, when billy was getting ready for his date ;)
They should have done Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Unforgiven (all), and Seek and Destroy too. More than St Anger for sure.
I saw Metallica in concert in my teens. It is awesome younger generations enjoy them too! My kids certainly do!
Watching kids headbang makes my heart smile!
Girl in the white always does the most
I'm mad they didn't show the switch up in One lol
Ikr that’s the best part of the song. Like there’s so much build up to it and they just didn’t show it
