It’s literally how I listen to almost every Metallica song. It’s the best to do it. It’s how I tell everyone (who’s never heard of Metallica) to listen to Metallica. You get lost in the music so easily.
I thought they Atleast played "Master Of Puppets" on the radio, I remember hearing it a few times but it was shortened by a minute, cause the snipped out certain instrumental parts It was part of the reason I wanted the album. Also with the song "Thing that should not be" I remember hearing that Live on the "Unforgiven 2" single tape
@@patrickschrag3200 Before the black album, Metallica got absolutely no mainstream radio play. Maybe you would have heard them on a college radio station but that would have been it.
What amaze me with this album is that the guys were only 23 or 24 years old. I'm 24 years old and if my toaster is not plugged in, I just don't eat lunch you know what I mean. These guys are legends
yeep they are so creative some times i just wonder how theese musicians can invent such beautifull riffs and arragements meanwhile i cant even pull out something original after years of playing guitar... absurd
I've thought about this, which naturally leads me into the thought of...I wonder how many unbelievable musicians are out there that we'll never hear....like, you know there are some phenomenal peeps out there that will just never be heard.
This era of Metallica is incredible but makes me sad at the same time. Just crazy how Cliff Burton never really got to peak musically but was still able to partake in these masterpieces before he left us.. still makes you think about what could’ve been
I worked at State Hospital.. Sometimes the only difference between me and the people I worked with was, I had a badge and the keys to the door.. We are all human. Remember and respect that 💯
After being hospitalized several times for severe depressive and suicidal episodes, the first being back in high school, this song has always held special meaning. Thanks for this reaction and keep the great reactions coming.
Completely, utterly agree. A little over twenty years ago I visited my brother, who was stationed in Seoul, Korea. We went to this huge bar, and the music was LOUD. What song did I request? You guessed it, Leper Messiah. It was incredible, and the memory is burned into my brain.. louder and clearer than seeing them in concert, which I’ve been fortunate to be part of five times.
This was actually the very first Metallica song I ever heard. It was right after the Master of Puppets album came out, I was 11 years old, and in an Adolescent Psych Hospital at the time (I was there because of a seizure disorder which the staff lied to us about). This song became the anthem for every kid in that place.
You said to share something about yourself IF YOU'RE BRAVE enough. Ok Alex... I am an alcoholic in recovery for many years BUT while in active addiction I received 2 DUI'S in 11 months & spent 64 days in jail - along with losing my license for 5 years, 1 year in rehab, & the list goes on. I deserved that without question. The only reason I chose to share that in particular is because when you read the lyrics about longing to be on the outside & remembering what it was like - I felt that a million times in jail. When I hear this song that part always takes me back to a place I will never, ever - one day at a time - go to again. ✌🎵❤
That's a "not yet" for me on the DUIs, but the 5-6 days in detox, pacing around, alarms ready to sound if you break the beam and try to leave... That was enough for me. 14+ years of "one day at a time" since then. Thank you for sharing, keep coming back. It works.
You can do this, I did it. I was a drug addict with all the consequences. Now I own a company, I won the second european place in my sport, I've got a family and I'm working to help people. You're not in this world to be perfect, perfection is a lie. You can change your life many times you want, it's just up to you. You lived through those experiences, just look forward, don't worry, the past will come back sometimes to remind you where you've been. Walk focused, no one can stop you.
@Berenice A. N. Barkovitch - Justice has bass. Justice for Jason is a shit mix lol. Yeah the bass in the original mix can be a bit louder but not like and justice for Jason mixes lol.
Here in Australia we have a cereal company called Sanitarium. As a teen, sitting round with my mates and watching tv, if a Sanitarium ad came on we would all flash the devil horns and start headbanging
Tell the people over and over again to be scared and they will be scared. Insert any of the other things the media tries to force down the people's throats on a daily basis. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It pulls those dipressed feelings so hard yet those beautiful melodies just make you so calm. This song is seriously masterpiece.
Have to disagree there. Hetfield's voice is not the same and Hammett makes a ton of mistakes live, while Lars is sloppy and Cliff is gone. Plus the song is played in a different tuning live so the magic of the original recording is simply not there live.
This song really connected to alot of us who were in our midteens when it came out. Being a metalhead at the time ( for alot of us were I grew up) meant that you were looked at as a crazy, drug abusing, trouble maker, who had no purpose in society, it truly was a different time. Songs like this connected us as a group because it made us feel as if people understood how trapped we felt.
Amen to that. Hell I remember seeing them with Ozzy with Cliff and it was not to long after that he was killed in a bus accident. That day was the day all metalheads everywhere died a little inside.
Yep, that's all too true unfortunately. Being into metal back then was frowned upon for some funny reason. I was that social outcast, even the school I went to pushed me away. Hell, my own mother used to throw me out of the house because of my hair!
Probably my favorite Metallica song. You seriously just need to listen to the whole concert from Seattle in '89. The whole thing is on RUclips. The best version of their best songs in my opinion.
My adoptive parents put me in 5 of these as a kid in the 1980's, before finally kicking me out at 15. THIS song was the 1st Metallica song I ever heard, in 1986. After just being in the 2nd one for 10 months. I credit it for my teenage self not committing suicide! ALL of it resonates, almost too well, I'm crying now. I still have PTSD, among other things. Thank you Metallica, music in general, and you, Alex, for your great reaction to it. :)
Favorite line from the song: They think our heads are in their hands, but violent use brings violent plans. Bone chilling Quite possibly the best song on the album
When you said at 6:38, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” it made me think of a scene in an episode of Blue Bloods a few years back when that quote was mentioned & met with the response of, “The road to heaven is paved with those same stones.” “What tangled webs we weave.....”
every song on justice is awesome! to live is to die is my favorite metallica song and blackened is my 3rd fav. the rest of the album is amazing too. i have often been described as overly critical, and i can't think of any weak tracks on justice. it's the pinnacle of metallica's discography.
After listening to Kirk since I was 11 in 1983 I was finally inspired to start learning to play three years ago. I love Orion brother, that is an instrumental masterpiece and you will enjoy that one as well. This is one of the best albums ever made.
I went to a county fair one time when i was a teen. Some friends and I road the tilt a whirl and during our ride they were playing this song! Jammin while going in circles!
From a 50 year old Gen X man you are one of favorite reactors! After a fucked off day your reactions always lifts me up! I love that you're enjoying the music I grew up with, I'm hoping if we get enough people like yourself to appreciate it too, maybe great music will make a come back! You're much appreciated!
Love this track. The way it builds to the last few mins that pay off with such a great arrangement with James and Lars driving and steering the song gets me every time. Just incredible.
The solos in their first 3 albums are what made Kirk Hammett the best guitarist in the world for years. He was taught by Joe Satriani... You need to do reactions to each and every one of their albums to see how they have progressed and changed over the years. Metallica have got me through some very tough times in my life. Without them, I certainly wouldn't be here today. Seen and met them several times.
I mean I guess it's subjective, so always up for debate, but I don't think he's ever been anywhere near the "best in the world". Guys like Vai, Friedman, Satriani, Kotzen, Malmsteen were all lightyears ahead of him IMO. Not saying he didn't put out some bangers though! He definitely had his moments.
Never was vai, satriani light years ahead. When have they ever played something memorable no one ever remembers a song they did, can play all the notes and techniques but sometimes it’s too much
AJFA was my 1st. Had never heard any hard or heavy rock music b4 that. The beginning of Blackened hit me like a 10 ton hammer, son. Rock n Roll 4 life after that. Tool is the greatest band ever, tho
@@undinism69 I got it cos the artwork on a kid's shirt at school was so amazing. I went and cut grass, then to get the tape. Blackened blew my balls off in the back of my dad and 1st stepmom's car as we drove along, looking at scenery and changing leaves. I was sooooo hooked
Ever since I used their music to keep my own sanity when unfortunate events caused the state to take me and my little sister away from our parents, I never found another band that would help me through such dark and hard times in my life. That was 13 years ago and ever since, I promised myself I will see them live before they retire. Still haven't, for one reason or another and now with covid, I doubt I'll ever get to keep that promise with myself so I've grown to accept it and settle for recordings of their live performances lol. But I love how people like yourself are still just discovering them and some of their greatest hits after all these years. It's awesome seeing that sense of enjoyment people give when reacting to these tracks for the first time.
Bullet For My Valentine did a killer cover of this song. Highly recommend checking it out as well. edit: I just have to comment on the end of this song. It's like a descent into madness. so perfect.
For me, the ending sounds exactly what happened at the end of "One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest." Big dude Chief throwing the marble sink through the window & fleeing. 💪
In May '86, I bought Master of Puppets on cassette tape (for u millennials, that's a little plastics thing with a ribbon rolled around inside that gets eaten when u try to play it) I was 14. My first taste of Metallica was Battery. It was like that first shot of heroin or that first blast off a crack pipe. I was hooked for rest of existence. I love seeing the reaction I must have had then.
This album was actually my first CD, bought with the birthday check from my grandparents after my parents had got me the player. Metallica was also the first (and only) band I ever slept out to get concert tickets for (2 x Wherever We May Roam Tour, and then for the stadium tour with Guns N' Roses).
This song is more than a masterpiece, I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1986, I was 9 years old and said that's what I want to do, I got my first guitar very soon after that and I've been playing since.
Disposable Heros on deck! Some argue, the best song on the album, & that is seriously f***ing saying something, as this album is a f***ing masterpiece!
So... This song has special meaning for me. I was really, really into metallica back in the late 80s early 90s, and learning guitar. I was at my grandma's house one day and my uncle James was there playing guitar. Now, I didn't see a lot of James. He was constantly in and out of mental institutions. He taught me riffs from this song and then two days later, my aunt found him hanging from the tree in their back yard from his guitar strap. I know that's harsh to hear, but it's what happened. Ever since, the song has been a close favorite while being very dark. Lots of memories and feelings.
My buds and I used to Jam this on the way to the Northville Tunnels (Old Mental Health complex in Northville MI) on the weekends back in 89/90.. It Was Epic... Middle of the night - hiding from cops, ducking in and out of the old buildings... and then Rocking OUT on the way home again...
@@hendrikkiefer3325 well the whole master of puppets album is so good that Sanatarium doesn’t get the acclaim it deserves but is arguably the best song on MOP
Nobody. And they were so young to create these great compositions and lyrics. Stunning. And each Metallica concert is amazing. I went with my son two years ago as a proud father: drinking beer and headbanging with my son to Metallica. There are not many things that can top that.
This album is what made me fall in love with Metallica. In 1986 when i first heard this entire album, it was Metal GOLD!!! Every song is a metal clinic. Stands the test of time 35 years later. Without a doubt I feel this was the best album they ever produced.
When you get to Orion. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED! ENJOY THE RIDE!
He has done reaction video to orion already. Sorry bad english
It’s literally how I listen to almost every Metallica song. It’s the best to do it. It’s how I tell everyone (who’s never heard of Metallica) to listen to Metallica. You get lost in the music so easily.

The black album is when the sucketh began, a couple coutryallica albums, then peaked at St Anger and got back to normal with Hardwired.
This album was groundbreaking and went platinum with basically no radio play. Every song on this album is good.
I thought they Atleast played "Master Of Puppets" on the radio,
I remember hearing it a few times but it was shortened by a minute, cause the snipped out certain instrumental parts
It was part of the reason I wanted the album.
Also with the song "Thing that should not be" I remember hearing that Live on the "Unforgiven 2" single tape
EVERY SONG GOLD
This is the perfect album. There's is no filler on it, every song fits with the entirety of the rest of the album.

Mine too.
first Metallica song I learned to play...first full song I learned to play...its my 'stairway to heaven' - lmao!

RIP for Keith Rozema, a 17 year old friend who passed away in 1990... This song was played in an Episcopal Church during his funeral.

But I love how people like yourself are still just discovering them and some of their greatest hits after all these years. It's awesome seeing that sense of enjoyment people give when reacting to these tracks for the first time.
They WERE a great band...
I remember first hearing this album 32 years ago
Bullet For My Valentine did a killer cover of this song. Highly recommend checking it out as well.
edit: I just have to comment on the end of this song. It's like a descent into madness. so perfect.
Tigertailz did a cover of "Creeping Death". Check it out, considering they were a glam band. They made it sound fantastic
Bfmv made the song listenable for me.
The bfmv cover was freaking awesome, thanks for commenting that
For me, the ending sounds exactly what happened at the end of "One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest." Big dude Chief throwing the marble sink through the window & fleeing. 💪
hahahahahahahahaha bullet.... ok piss weak shite
"That is a master piece" you never were more right in your life!
I was in line for this back in 1985. Glad you're joining the 🥳. Did ya man!
In May '86, I bought Master of Puppets on cassette tape (for u millennials, that's a little plastics thing with a ribbon rolled around inside that gets eaten when u try to play it) I was 14. My first taste of Metallica was Battery. It was like that first shot of heroin or that first blast off a crack pipe. I was hooked for rest of existence. I love seeing the reaction I must have had then.
This album was actually my first CD, bought with the birthday check from my grandparents after my parents had got me the player. Metallica was also the first (and only) band I ever slept out to get concert tickets for (2 x Wherever We May Roam Tour, and then for the stadium tour with Guns N' Roses).
millennials were born in the 80s, they know what a cassette is
Back in the 80's Metallica was playing chess while all the other bands were playing checkers!
Man what about Maiden?
And 20 years later they were drawing on the walls with crayons ;_;
Checkers underrated in comparison to chess
take my like
@@vinceling4155 Yes Maiden was playing chess with Metallica.
This is actually my favorite Metallica song! I'm so glad you liked it.
This song is more than a masterpiece, I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1986, I was 9 years old and said that's what I want to do, I got my first guitar very soon after that and I've been playing since.
One of the most memorable concerts ever when they opened for Ozzy in '86.
Wish I can hear this song for the first time
Awesome,just plain awesome!!!
Every time James gets to a guitar solo you can literally hear the guitar saying "please sir I have a wife and kids you don't want to do this"
And Justice For All is my personal favorite.
Disposable Heros on deck! Some argue, the best song on the album, & that is seriously f***ing saying something, as this album is a f***ing masterpiece!
This is why they will go do as one of the best bands of all time thanks for bringing me back to the 80s
So... This song has special meaning for me. I was really, really into metallica back in the late 80s early 90s, and learning guitar. I was at my grandma's house one day and my uncle James was there playing guitar. Now, I didn't see a lot of James. He was constantly in and out of mental institutions. He taught me riffs from this song and then two days later, my aunt found him hanging from the tree in their back yard from his guitar strap. I know that's harsh to hear, but it's what happened. Ever since, the song has been a close favorite while being very dark. Lots of memories and feelings.
All the metal in the world can't cleanse your soul of an Aaron Carter bromance
That's f-ing priceless!!!
I almost slapped him through my phone when he said that.
This is how a person reacts when listening to one of the best songs from one of the best albums ever created.
My absolute fav from Metallica
My buds and I used to Jam this on the way to the Northville Tunnels (Old Mental Health complex in Northville MI) on the weekends back in 89/90.. It Was Epic... Middle of the night - hiding from cops, ducking in and out of the old buildings... and then Rocking OUT on the way home again...
One of the most underrated Metallica songs. Yeah people that know Metallica know it’s great but it doesn’t get the run some of the other ones do.
Not underrated at all wdym
@@hendrikkiefer3325 it is highly regarded, but I don’t think it’s held in high enough regard.
@@billbrasky1288 oh, didn't know that tho. But maybe because I grew up with the whole album (speaking growing up I mean from kindergarten to man)
@@hendrikkiefer3325 well the whole master of puppets album is so good that Sanatarium doesn’t get the acclaim it deserves but is arguably the best song on MOP
Facts this song is easily one of the best songs they got it's my favorite Metallica song
Never been this early so I’ve gotta request My Friend of Misery!!!
Best song on black album
@@jeremyjohnson9222 that and The God That Failed
Incredible song. These Metallic songs have been ten times better than the last several weeks of other videos combined. The classics always win.
Had the honour of doing the intro for a full band, full album cover. One of the most beautiful solos ever written in my opinion. Pure magic.
Cant wait for tomorrow!!!!
It's crazy how good this is to this day. You look when it came out 1986 there was nobody, and I mean nobody on this level.
yeah it annoys me when people say that other bands are way more talented then metallica because they started it all they gave birth to this sound
I'd add Iron Maiden to the list of bands who revolutionized a genre.
@@jeremyboehm5512 I mean...if we are going down the path of the revolutionaries and influences... Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Helloween...what an era
@@sathos Agree quite a few bands we could say this about. What an era indeed.
Nobody. And they were so young to create these great compositions and lyrics. Stunning. And each Metallica concert is amazing. I went with my son two years ago as a proud father: drinking beer and headbanging with my son to Metallica. There are not many things that can top that.
This album is what made me fall in love with Metallica. In 1986 when i first heard this entire album, it was Metal GOLD!!! Every song is a metal clinic. Stands the test of time 35 years later. Without a doubt I feel this was the best album they ever produced.
Been listening to that song since early 90's. Still awesome song after 1000th time
Please make sure, that if you do disposable heroes put the lyrics on
He will dig them for sure
Put the lyrics up for Orion too...😏
@@MetgadethFan17 Orion’s lyrics are too deep 😥
This album makes people wish they were Metal Heads all along!!
this is probably my favorite song of all time from metallica and the first song i learned in guitar
Next up - their greatest track of all time...the thrash masterpiece that is 'Disposable Heroes'.
