New subscriber saying what's up glad to see a black couple doing this How did you miss one of the hottest ciphers of the year with.crypt Poppin cipher top 13 you neeeeeed to REACT on that stop playing.... ruclips.net/video/BEzrQwX1zA4/видео.html BAAAAARRRRSSSSSS 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The intermission part is actually representing the calm they temporarily get from taking the drug of choice.. then back to the panic of needing the next fix.. whole song has meaning starts with need and anxiety of the drive for it.. then the calm of achieving that, then the after effect of coming down.
Metallica was being played on Classic Rock stations in my area 10 years ago.. I used to listen to it at work at night. I was like: When the hell did Metallica become Classic Rock??
I knew I was getting older when the songs I grew up listening to were on the classic rock station. I knew I was officially old when songs that came out after I grew up showed up on the classic rock station.
Y'all do a great job of interpreting and understanding the song lyrics. Hope to see more rock/metal reactions. Black Sabbath "War Pigs" from 1969 is one of the original metal songs , and still holds up today.
Story time. And why these kinda reactions make me happy. Im 37. This was my music growing up. Being a smaller kid in a city school. Not many with my musical tastes around. It was a huge problem being different in school. I remembering thinking "if only people could actually listen. I might not have to be scared." It makes me happy with all these reaction vids from everyone of "my" music. Even if it is 25ish years later. Thanks. Good reactions.
The drummer for Metallica is the one and only Lars Ulrich!! When I was pregnant with our son. My husband and I were trying to find a name for him. And after he was born, my husband said, "I think we should name him Jeremy Lars!!! After the biblical prophet Jeremiah and after Metallica's drummer Lars." Jeremy Lars, he's such an awesome kid!!! And for your next reaction it should be.......'For Whom The Bells Toll'!!!!
Anything from Ride the Lightning or master of puppets is my favorite depending on the mood. Such incredible albums. Damage inc somehow gets overlooked.
Yes, Metallica tackles a lot of topics. Drug abuse, alcoholism, child abuse, corruption in the legal system, the horrors of war, suicide, mistreatment is psychiatric homes, nuclear war, artificial intelligence taking over, etc. Along the way, the singer/rhythm guitarist (James Hetfield) started writing more introspective songs that dealt with his own feelings and problems. He had a rough childhood and that trampled over into him abusing alcohol. The more he wrote about his feelings of isolation and his disconnect with his parents, the closer to sobriety he got and the songs became less reliant on sounding fast and heavy. He puts a lot of emotion into his lyrics and his guitar playing. They started off as the band that was the most aggressive with their instruments and technical ability, but they’ve mellowed over time and began writing songs from the heart with gentler, more polished sounds. Today, these guys are in their mid to late 50s, but can play their old, heavy classics just as fast as they did in their early 20s. They’re also a band that doesn’t forget about their fans. I grew up listening to them, but I was also a fan of rap as well. I preferred Tupac Shakur and The Wu-Tang Clan. Tupac had songs that were socially conscience and fans of his songs often like Metallica’s song. The two genres actually rub shoulders quite well and heavy metal and rap groups used to collaborate a lot in the 80s and 90s. Rapper/Actor Ice-T had a heavy metal band called “Body Count” that was friends with many of the heavy metal bands of the early 90s. My best friend died of a drug overdose almost 6 months ago. Unfortunately, it was one of those things that anyone could see coming. Although it was pharmaceutical drugs and not cocaine, the drug DID play him like a puppet and he was a slave to it. No matter your age, health, background, race, religion, finances, etc., drugs can get the better of you and make you a slave to substances. No drug is worth dying over. Drugs leave nothing but death and destruction in their wake. Good health and prosperity to everyone!
This was like the perfect explanation to my parents on why this kind of music has actual meaning specifically Metallica so they don’t think it’s about devil worship cuz it’s not
My man caught the meaning of the song before the "chop your breakfast on a mirror" line. Well done! Also Lars Ulrich is the Drummer and reaction channels really like him, unlike the metal community lol.
@@lermais881 many reasons, that cumulated together and then just people piling on the hate train. He had a douchey attitude, was the face behind the napster lawsuit and isn't the best technical drummer but he's in a legendary band so there's definitely some jealousy. He deserves some hate for being a douche but not the mountain of hate he's been getting throughout his career
@@lermais881 the metal community (some of them) don't like Lars because back in the day he's the one who sued Napster for people downloading their music. He had the legal right but it was kinda dickish. Especially since back in their early days people making copies of their albums on cassette tape and sharing them around was what spread their popularity.
This song speaks TRUTH! I am a recovering meth addict (I'll be 18 years sober on April 21st). I was lost for 13 years, an absolute puppet to my addiction. By the Grace of GOD, I cut those strings. My life and that of those my addiction affected has changed so much for the better. I really ❤ you guys, you make me smile.
That has to be one of the most fun reactions I’ve ever watched. I’ve listened to Metallica since I was a kid, I’m now mid 40’s. Keep digging, they have some deep lyrics.
This was the first metallica song i ever heard back in '87 and i was hooked right away and became a die hard fan, when you get a chance you should check this song out live in seattle' 89.. a few other metallica songs, disposable heros, fade to black, orion and harvester of sorrow.. thats a sweet jordan shirt btw
Great reaction! Just in case you didn't know, In 2015, Master of Puppets became the first metal recording to be selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. Fade to Black should be next.
Nice job picking up on the song meaning so quick. For a long time I thought it was about an abusive relationship, then one day I really sat down and read the lyrics and had an ah-ha moment. Good work.
I'm over here cracking up hoping yall don't accidentally knock your heads together. That'd be one hella headache. You guys seriously need to do Fade to Black by Metallica. It's one of their greatest.
I had someone very dear to me loose their life to drugs and damage from addiction abuse, sad as it is to say... My father passed away when I was two years old, and my uncle (brother to my mother) was very much my father figure in my life growing up. I never knew as a child, but as an adult when my mother finally told me the truth after he died, that every time when I was a kid and he disappeared into the bathroom to take his "medicine", he was actually taking a drug. The saddest part is, is that he knew what it was doing to him and he knew he needed help, and he did try and get help, but it didn't work, especially since doctors who tried to help him at the time put him onto a substitute that was supposed to help ease him off of it, but it turned out to be worse later on than the actual drug itself. He did eventually clean his life up, even got married and had some good years of living in his life, but sadly the damage done internally was something that couldn't be undone. He passed away from organ failure at the age of forty eight. Doctors tried their best, but the damage, like I said, was just too great. I know it's easy to label a drug user as scum of life, but my uncle was a good man. Loved by anyone and everyone who met him for his kind heart and warm personality. The day he passed was the heaviest day of my life and not a day goes by that I don't miss him, especially since as the years go by a slowly start to forget a little bit more about him, like how he would smile and how his voice sounded. But I will always remember the important parts of him being in my life. My final bit of advice to anyone who reads this that may know someone or has known someone who is addicted to drugs of any kind... Don't think for a moment its because they love drugs. Believe me when I say they likely hate the drugs and what they do to them, but addiction is addiction. It's not them who loves the drugs... the drugs love them. If you read my story, then thank you. I hope you got to take something away from it.
You should check out Pantera at Castle Donnington. Security tried to calm things down and we handed their arses hands to them. The police tried to calm things down, with no success. Pantera didn't skip a beat.
When this song came out I played it for my preacher father. And read him the lyrics. He said "They are like hellfire and brimstone preachers. It sounds scary but they are doing good. I think for some people they will reach them faster than I can". My father ran a crisis center for substance abuse and suicide.
Impressive and beautiful when people can appreciate the substance of the message rather than just the surface level disturbing nature of that message. Props to your father!
"It sounds like he's talking about drug addiction " That's exactly what they're talking about: It's basically the group is singing this from the perspective of the different types of drugs saying that the drugs are the puppet master and the person was the puppet It's talking about at least 2 different types of drugs Cocaine and Heroin Btw: that "intermission" as Half called it, in the beginning part, it's supposed to represent the euphoria of getting high and the ending part is representing coming down from the high
I love this band. I seen them live and their songs hold deep meaning to me. I am 15 years clean from heroin and I had almost every single one of their songs on my Playlist in rehab ❤ I see you did fade to black so I gotta go watch that reaction 🥰
I was a “puppet” from the ages of 18-24 and my “master was cocaine. I held a full time job so I was what some would call a “functional addict” and I still have that job, 8 years now; I’m 26. I got the perforated septum the whole 9 yards and anytime any of my friends said “hey bout time we stopped this huh” I would say “nah, I ain’t had my fun yet!” Always chasing that first high... then one day out of the blue my mind clicked and I said “yeah screw this I’m done!!” Got out of the friend group I was in and got into one who helped me through it (I told the the full story) now I look back at those days and think why the hell didn’t I listen back then?!? Yeah I get tempted when I’m a little too drunk and it’s around and sometimes relapse yeah but always 100% regret it the next day!! It’s not worth it guys STAY AWAY!! Good reactions great job awesome message!! 👍🇬🇧
My brother introduced me to Metallica at the ripe age of 10/11. I just came across this video as I've been watching some Metallica reactions and reflecting on the great times I had with my brother. He OD'd 4 years ago (in 1week). I've got my own struggles, but damn do I miss the hell outta him.
i fucking love that you guys enjoy metal music and can find the deeper meaning behind some of these songs + i also fucking love that you guys know how to properly headbang!
so glad watching ppl listening to Metallica.. i grew up with Metallica in the early 1990's during high school. Metallica has something for everyone. Lots of great songs with great messages.
React to Rage Against the Machine - Bullet in the Head. They are a Metal/Hip hop group from the 90s. Zac De La Rocha has bars! Use lyric videos so you can catch more of the meanings
The “intermission” part is when the bliss of the drug kicks in, and then the fiendish pangs return with the chugging riffs when the drug wears off. Pretty awesome
I love watching you guys experience these songs for the first time. Spot on with the message. Metallica are great story tellers. The song structure is built to represent the story as well. It starts with a heavier build up to represent the aggressive need for the drug, then the low key melodic almost heavenly feel of the drug then the build to the coming down from the drug. Anything Metallica pre-mid 90s is gold, can’t wait to see more.
I love that y'all rock out to the songs yo. Got that punk-attitude running through your veins & it translates to your appreciation for Metal/Rock, it's awesome.
I laughed when you mentioned how metal was Devil worshipping. There's a part of metal that is just that, but there's also many different genres of metal. Black, Doom, Speed, Thrash, Death, etc. I dare you to listen to the song Memento Mori by Lamb of God. They're extremely talented.
Hey Half and Jai! 🖐🙂 I just stumbled upon this video, a little bit ago. Metallica is my most favorite band, & Master of Puppets is one of my most favorite songs of theirs. I've seen them in concert twice. You guys looked like you were having fun, listening to it! 🙂 Thank you for making this video! I enjoyed watching you guys jam out, & I was jamming right along with you! 🤘😎
very rarely i hear a song about "devil worship" lol. but thats the same as people like me assuming all rap is about guns etc. just bad stereotyping. keep em coming. one day you could try some Pink Floyd, rock but not as "head banging" lol. but guitar, vocals and amazing lyrics. songs such as "time". great reaction. but cant go wrong with any Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Metallica really.
My best friend was addicted his whole adult life drug of choice was crack but he'd do whatever he could get spent most of his adult life in prison because of drugs he'd get out get right back on the drugs commit crimes to get money for his addiction then get busted for the crime right back to prison i had to quit hanging out with him he got to deep into the drugs people were coming to my house looking for him that ain't cool so i had to end it i visited him in the joint quite a few times we were childhood friends i wrote him a ton of letters through the years sent him money orders and magazines while he was locked up i wasn't just gonna forget about my boy well on his birthday 2016 he stole from a grocery store and the cops came he fought with the cop took his gun then ran through the parking lot other cops showed up told him to drop the gun but he didn't listen and they shot him 3 times in the back with an assault rifle he was pretty gone face down but died at the hospital there's actually a you tube video someone took of it that's how i know that i actually saw my best friend laying there face down after being shot with cops all around him and can you believe they still put the cuffs on him smh when your best friend dies tragically i don't think you really ever get over it it still feels like yesterday being his paul bearer that's why when your lady started crying after listening to Yelawolf's Best Friend song i said i can relate bigtime...keep up the metal reactions you guys rock 🤘 A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth is the song you listen to after you lose someone close to you check it out
You should react to The God That Failed by Metallica, it's about the lead singer James' mother who died of cancer and refused treatment because she only relied on the healing powers of god.
I grew up when Metallica was big and listened to this song countless times. I don't believe I ever paid any attention to the line 'breakfast on a mirror'. The whole song makes more sense now. Thanks!
Lars Ulrich is the drummer and is responsible for the band being created. The fact you mention the drummer so much makes a lot of sense. This is their greatest song and any true Metallica fan will agree. You two have great chemistry. Keep it up.
One of the main things I've always loved about Metallica is they don't just sing and play music. Every part of their music tells a deep story. Master of puppets is hands down my favorite song. The lyrics tell a tale of drug addiction and how you are a slave to it while it slowly kills you. The instruments portray the life of the addict. Starting heavy to represent the need for the fix, the breakdown in the middle soft and melodical representing getting your fix and being calm, then heavy ending representing the coming down from the high needing more. Its all so beautiful!!!
"I can't relate to drug addiction personally", he said just prior to taking a shot. Not saying you have a problem, just great unintended comic timing!!
I remember back in the day when listening to this, people would call it "loud noise". Warms my heart to see people appreciate it today. Glad you both liked it!
Oh there ARE some devil worshipping stuff out there, particularly in the Black Metal genre, if you are looking for it, but the VAST majority are good guys who are very talented and just like to write about topics they are serious about like drugs, war, suicide, government oppression, technology, science, etc.
WOW, your channel has really grown since the last time I saw a video from you guys.. I was watching the Em reactions and now you're doing Metallica! Love it.
Like any great song, this can be about any addiction making it relatable to everyone. Just goes to show metal and hip hop have many things in common. Love your honest and authentic reactions
You guys are great, welcome to the Metal family, you guys are gonna be blown away!!! I look forward to watching your journey!! Greetings from indiana!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have been down the rabbit hole, that middle part when the song slows down for me represents the time when u are stuck but u don´t realize it, time flies by so fast even though at the time it feels like time goes so very slowly, but when u get out of it(which is hell of a lot harder than anyone that has not been through it would think) u will notice that all of the years just kind of disappeared and for absolutely nothing not even the fun times were actually as fun as they seemed at that time since the master made u think it was fun sure, crazy and fun things happened and I´ve lived for sure, but in a haze
I've watched probably 100 or more reactions to this song, and you guys are the first ones I can remember seeing that nailed what the tune was about before the "chop your breakfast on a mirror" line. Excellent work. Now you're ready for some bible study, as in it's time for Metallica's Creeping Death.
Just found this channel. I love Metallica, love watching reaction videos. Yall thought it through and listened and heard they're not just a loud band. Really enjoyed this. I was so happy when yall figured out the meaning of the song! Most dont, they listen then move on!
You guys are awesome. I've watched so many react to this song and few have figured it out so quickly and those who've lived a sheltered life dont get it until someone clues them in.
Fade to Black Live in Moscow 1991. This is Metallica at their peak and the best live performance recorded of this song. Crowd was also reported at over 1 million. This one is emotional.
this song tries to take you through the mind of a a person with a addiction. You have your highs and lows, twists and turns. you can tell by the instrumental solos.
I remember getting on the school bus in the late 80's. One of my friends had one of those huge ghetto blaster stereos playing this song. It warms my heart to see young folks still getting down to the good shit!
I love seeing people who havent had much exposure to Metal or rock music open their minds and genuinely listen to the music. Im a metal head from the 80's and people who didnt listen to that music always criticized it saying its just noise and that it makes people angry and aggressive. They never gave it a chance. I love seeing people realize there is more to metal than just screaming and aggressive attitudes. the lyrics are deep and the musicality is incredible. This kind of music doesn't make people angry. Not at all. Loving that you guys are listening with an ear for music, not just an ear for style.
Wut it do Half and Jai squad❗️Thank u for the 8K subscribers, let’s get to 10K by the end of the month❗️Luv u guys and see u next video❗️🤟🏾

I was on Heroin for 3 years. Clean 23 years. lost a lot of friends. This song nails it.
it isnt right to lose so much.. look at jerry cantrell nevermind all the addiction he loved his friend
glad to hear youre better
You're probably one of the strongest people on the planet! You carry a weight not many can understand!
Glad you made it out buddy
good work man. the shit ain't easy.
The intermission part is actually representing the calm they temporarily get from taking the drug of choice.. then back to the panic of needing the next fix.. whole song has meaning starts with need and anxiety of the drive for it.. then the calm of achieving that, then the after effect of coming down.
Metal is like a play. There is meaning, often a story, and the song itself is the score
Spot on
Its amazing how well thet represent the cravings. I've been there.
well said Lady :)
Never ending maze, drift on numbered days
Metallica is now played on 'classic' rock radio stations... We all getting old AF way too fast haha.
This shit is over 30 years old.
Metallica was being played on Classic Rock stations in my area 10 years ago.. I used to listen to it at work at night. I was like: When the hell did Metallica become Classic Rock??
Classic Rock is all that I play on my radio. I'm not into much music that came out after 95.
I'm the same age as AJFA.
I knew I was getting older when the songs I grew up listening to were on the classic rock station. I knew I was officially old when songs that came out after I grew up showed up on the classic rock station.
Dude, I've seen some kids call slipknot, Korn and soad old school metal. I felt old, and angry that those fucking kids said that shit.
Y'all do a great job of interpreting and understanding the song lyrics. Hope to see more rock/metal reactions. Black Sabbath "War Pigs" from 1969 is one of the original metal songs , and still holds up today.
1970
How about written and recorded 1969, but released 1970! So you are both right.
Excellent recommendation the ROOT of heavy metal.
@@me109aa I can agree to that
Yeah watch the Paris 1970 video so you can see Bill Ward beat them drums like they owed him money!
I was recommending 'Holy Wars, the Punishment Due.' But that's another great one.
Fade to Black, metallica you will love it, it's one of their top/ most famous songs, great reaction, good vibes 😎
Yes please do fade to black. Amazing song.
Good vibes my ass!! Lol....
Fade to Black is about suicide....
Lmfao....good vibes...lol
@@drunkrockerreaction2377 I get your point, but that song has saved a lot of lives.

And for your next reaction it should be.......'For Whom The Bells Toll'!!!!
Yeah For Whom The Bell Tolls is one of their best songs in my opinion.
@@JelleSchmidt .... I think so as well!!
That should be the live version with Cliff slapping the bass...
@@ankitrana4525 Slappin' the bass!
I've watched over 20 reactions and y'all picked up on the meaning the fastest. Respect!
Definitely Metallica "fade to black" talking about suicide...
I don't wanna be that guy but it actually doesn't talk about suicide. But the lyrics seems like it
@@legendairy1810 whats it about?
It is about suicide....google it and do the background on it.
With lyrics
@@fatfishtaco James talking about their equipment and gears getting stolen. They were desperate for a period
You think this song is deep. try the song Disposable Hero’s by Metallica
coyote 5.0 yes l second that. Disposable Heroes by Metallica with lyrics please
Disposable heroes probably my fav!
Anything from Ride the Lightning or master of puppets is my favorite depending on the mood. Such incredible albums. Damage inc somehow gets overlooked.

Also Lars Ulrich is the Drummer and reaction channels really like him, unlike the metal community lol.
Yeah most of the reaction channels rarely catch that until almost the end of the song. Good catch, even without the lyrics.
why community metal don't like Lars Ulrich
@@lermais881 many reasons, that cumulated together and then just people piling on the hate train. He had a douchey attitude, was the face behind the napster lawsuit and isn't the best technical drummer but he's in a legendary band so there's definitely some jealousy.

That may be the most terrifying lyric I’ve ever heard lol
Bro not many people can catch that this song is about addiction. You caught is after the first verse. I applaud you man
This song speaks TRUTH! I am a recovering meth addict (I'll be 18 years sober on April 21st). I was lost for 13 years, an absolute puppet to my addiction. By the Grace of GOD, I cut those strings. My life and that of those my addiction affected has changed so much for the better. I really ❤ you guys, you make me smile.
you'lll find that alot with metallica. . behind "all that noise" there are alot of great powerful lyrics
Right on! You both are now Metallica fans for life!! Cheers to you for being open to new musical experiences. I subscribed.
That has to be one of the most fun reactions I’ve ever watched. I’ve listened to Metallica since I was a kid, I’m now mid 40’s. Keep digging, they have some deep lyrics.
This was the first metallica song i ever heard back in '87 and i was hooked right away and became a die hard fan, when you get a chance you should check this song out live in seattle' 89.. a few other metallica songs, disposable heros, fade to black, orion and harvester of sorrow.. thats a sweet jordan shirt btw
Orion is my favorite ever by Metallica. No lyrics but amazing bass by the one and only Cliff Burton. RIP.
Great reaction! Just in case you didn't know, In 2015, Master of Puppets became the first metal recording to be selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
Fade to Black should be next.
Burlyhawk That’s dope! 💯
Nice job picking up on the song meaning so quick. For a long time I thought it was about an abusive relationship, then one day I really sat down and read the lyrics and had an ah-ha moment. Good work.
I love it when people find that groove and they can just rock out

When this song came out I played it for my preacher father. And read him the lyrics. He said "They are like hellfire and brimstone preachers. It sounds scary but they are doing good. I think for some people they will reach them faster than I can". My father ran a crisis center for substance abuse and suicide.
Impressive and beautiful when people can appreciate the substance of the message rather than just the surface level disturbing nature of that message. Props to your father!
Please do Orion, it shows off Metallicas mastery of musicality
BEST METALLICA SONG PERIOD
Your genuine positivity and appreciation for stuff outside your normal purview is refreshing. Thank you guys.
Y’all loving drums...gotta listen to “When The Levee Breaks” by LED Zeppelin. Just subscribed to the channel...Thanks for a new fresh take on metal.
"It sounds like he's talking about drug addiction "
That's exactly what they're talking about:
It's basically the group is singing this from the perspective of the different types of drugs saying that the drugs are the puppet master and the person was the puppet
It's talking about at least 2 different types of drugs Cocaine and Heroin
Btw: that "intermission" as Half called it, in the beginning part, it's supposed to represent the euphoria of getting high and the ending part is representing coming down from the high
Creeping Death live in Moscow 91’
Sad but True live in Moscow 2019 please
Sad but true will destroy their HOUSE!!! 😳😳
That shirt looks amazing on Jai! Wear it again!!
That would be Lars Ulrich on drums. He and James Hetfield (vocals and rhythm guitar) founded the band.
I love lars drums style, its match so good with the band
This song helped me get through some rough times when I was young. This was in the 80's
React to master of puppets live Seattle 1989. Greatest live performance ever.
I love this band. I seen them live and their songs hold deep meaning to me. I am 15 years clean from heroin and I had almost every single one of their songs on my Playlist in rehab ❤ I see you did fade to black so I gotta go watch that reaction 🥰
Fade to Black is their best song in my opinion. Light years ahead of it's time. You have to review that one.
That is a top 5 ALL TIME SONG..! The raw emotion that comes out of his voice.. amazing.
My favorite Metallica song ;)
I was a “puppet” from the ages of 18-24 and my “master was cocaine. I held a full time job so I was what some would call a “functional addict” and I still have that job, 8 years now; I’m 26. I got the perforated septum the whole 9 yards and anytime any of my friends said “hey bout time we stopped this huh” I would say “nah, I ain’t had my fun yet!” Always chasing that first high... then one day out of the blue my mind clicked and I said “yeah screw this I’m done!!” Got out of the friend group I was in and got into one who helped me through it (I told the the full story) now I look back at those days and think why the hell didn’t I listen back then?!? Yeah I get tempted when I’m a little too drunk and it’s around and sometimes relapse yeah but always 100% regret it the next day!! It’s not worth it guys STAY AWAY!! Good reactions great job awesome message!! 👍🇬🇧
You guys seem so genuine and open minded. You should react to a live bit next. I request Metallica "Harvester of Sorrow," live in Moscow, '91.
My brother introduced me to Metallica at the ripe age of 10/11. I just came across this video as I've been watching some Metallica reactions and reflecting on the great times I had with my brother. He OD'd 4 years ago (in 1week). I've got my own struggles, but damn do I miss the hell outta him.
Nothing else matters also suggest fade to black, and sad but true, and unforgiven
Yes please
i fucking love that you guys enjoy metal music and can find the deeper meaning behind some of these songs
+ i also fucking love that you guys know how to properly headbang!
More old Metallica friends; they were like angry Beethovens.
Many cheers 🍻
so glad watching ppl listening to Metallica.. i grew up with Metallica in the early 1990's during high school. Metallica has something for everyone. Lots of great songs with great messages.
React to Rage Against the Machine - Bullet in the Head. They are a Metal/Hip hop group from the 90s. Zac De La Rocha has bars! Use lyric videos so you can catch more of the meanings
The “intermission” part is when the bliss of the drug kicks in, and then the fiendish pangs return with the chugging riffs when the drug wears off. Pretty awesome
Please react to Ride The Lightning or And Justice For All
Love how both of you move and bang your heads. I watched Metallica on tour in Milan, Italy in 1988, 1990, 1992. Cheers from Italy
Need to watch creeping death in Moscow 1991 over a million people there. The energy is crazy. Gotta watch Metallica live.
I love watching you guys experience these songs for the first time. Spot on with the message. Metallica are great story tellers. The song structure is built to represent the story as well. It starts with a heavier build up to represent the aggressive need for the drug, then the low key melodic almost heavenly feel of the drug then the build to the coming down from the drug. Anything Metallica pre-mid 90s is gold, can’t wait to see more.
You should react to Metallica - Disposable Heroes
I love that y'all rock out to the songs yo. Got that punk-attitude running through your veins & it translates to your appreciation for Metal/Rock, it's awesome.
I laughed when you mentioned how metal was Devil worshipping. There's a part of metal that is just that, but there's also many different genres of metal. Black, Doom, Speed, Thrash, Death, etc.
I dare you to listen to the song Memento Mori by Lamb of God. They're extremely talented.
Also have ti listen to amon amarth and cradle of filth and megadeth ..
Hey Half and Jai! 🖐🙂 I just stumbled upon this video, a little bit ago. Metallica is my most favorite band, & Master of Puppets is one of my most favorite songs of theirs. I've seen them in concert twice. You guys looked like you were having fun, listening to it! 🙂 Thank you for making this video! I enjoyed watching you guys jam out, & I was jamming right along with you! 🤘😎
very rarely i hear a song about "devil worship" lol. but thats the same as people like me assuming all rap is about guns etc. just bad stereotyping. keep em coming. one day you could try some Pink Floyd, rock but not as "head banging" lol. but guitar, vocals and amazing lyrics. songs such as "time". great reaction. but cant go wrong with any Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Metallica really.
Only in Black Metal
@@jeremygagne1753 even then, pretty rare.
True the only band that I know that are true satanists are Deicide
probably the most accurate reaction of this song I've seen so far far. Great job! and greetings from Finland
React to "FADE TO BLACK"...Theres no video for it. Do a lyric video...very very deep and dark. About suicide.
I agree and the best thing about the song it helps people not go thru with it
Great commentary. Glad you enjoyed it. Metallica has great songs.
My best friend was addicted his whole adult life drug of choice was crack but he'd do whatever he could get spent most of his adult life in prison because of drugs he'd get out get right back on the drugs commit crimes to get money for his addiction then get busted for the crime right back to prison i had to quit hanging out with him he got to deep into the drugs people were coming to my house looking for him that ain't cool so i had to end it i visited him in the joint quite a few times we were childhood friends i wrote him a ton of letters through the years sent him money orders and magazines while he was locked up i wasn't just gonna forget about my boy well on his birthday 2016 he stole from a grocery store and the cops came he fought with the cop took his gun then ran through the parking lot other cops showed up told him to drop the gun but he didn't listen and they shot him 3 times in the back with an assault rifle he was pretty gone face down but died at the hospital there's actually a you tube video someone took of it that's how i know that i actually saw my best friend laying there face down after being shot with cops all around him and can you believe they still put the cuffs on him smh when your best friend dies tragically i don't think you really ever get over it it still feels like yesterday being his paul bearer that's why when your lady started crying after listening to Yelawolf's Best Friend song i said i can relate bigtime...keep up the metal reactions you guys rock 🤘 A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth is the song you listen to after you lose someone close to you check it out
Congrats on taking your first steps in your metal journey. The rabbit hole is deep, but in the end, is rewarding
appreciate your reaction.. Enjoy your metal journey. Iron Maiden - Aces High
Alcohol is a drug too. I had family members die from alcoholism. Metallica is the BEST!!!
You should react to The God That Failed by Metallica, it's about the lead singer James' mother who died of cancer and refused treatment because she only relied on the healing powers of god.
If I'm not mistaken, she was a Christian Scientist, who don't believe in medicine at all...I could be wrong though
Jelle Schmidt Olson leaper messiah
John Robinson true, mixed it up!
Thoroughly enjoyed your reactions, keep up the great work.
I have a family member who was clean for 22 years+ and ended up going back. So I feel it.
Try disposable Heroes, and try creeping death
I grew up when Metallica was big and listened to this song countless times. I don't believe I ever paid any attention to the line 'breakfast on a mirror'. The whole song makes more sense now. Thanks!
Lars Ulrich is the drummer and is responsible for the band being created. The fact you mention the drummer so much makes a lot of sense. This is their greatest song and any true Metallica fan will agree. You two have great chemistry. Keep it up.
One of the main things I've always loved about Metallica is they don't just sing and play music. Every part of their music tells a deep story. Master of puppets is hands down my favorite song. The lyrics tell a tale of drug addiction and how you are a slave to it while it slowly kills you. The instruments portray the life of the addict. Starting heavy to represent the need for the fix, the breakdown in the middle soft and melodical representing getting your fix and being calm, then heavy ending representing the coming down from the high needing more. Its all so beautiful!!!
Also I was addicted to cocaine and pain pills for 9yrs. I have now been clean for 13yrs.
"I can't relate to drug addiction personally", he said just prior to taking a shot. Not saying you have a problem, just great unintended comic timing!!
"Can't relate to being on drugs" proceeds to sprinkle white powder on hand...... Lol jk
Love the videos.
The song describes the cycle of addiction. Addiction comes in many forms, not just powder chopped on a mirror.
I remember back in the day when listening to this, people would call it "loud noise". Warms my heart to see people appreciate it today.
Glad you both liked it!
Th Frayed End Of Sanity by Metallica is about mental illness.
Love watching you guys 25 years with my wife and still goin strong wish you both many years of happiness
Oh there ARE some devil worshipping stuff out there, particularly in the Black Metal genre, if you are looking for it, but the VAST majority are good guys who are very talented and just like to write about topics they are serious about like drugs, war, suicide, government oppression, technology, science, etc.
I love that you guys got what this song is about less than half way through. props.
I was a puppet to drugs, so this song has great meaning to me. Thank you both for doing this and helping more folks understand Metallica. Yall rock
I hope You guys had as much fun as I did hearing and watching y’all.
WOW, your channel has really grown since the last time I saw a video from you guys.. I was watching the Em reactions and now you're doing Metallica! Love it.
Like any great song, this can be about any addiction making it relatable to everyone. Just goes to show metal and hip hop have many things in common. Love your honest and authentic reactions
You guys are great, welcome to the Metal family, you guys are gonna be blown away!!! I look forward to watching your journey!! Greetings from indiana!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the shoutout, brushing my teeth and nearly spit out my mouthwash. You guys are amazing. Much love
I also lost a couple close ones to drug addiction. It never gets easier. Thank you for sharing your stories. You two are a delight!
I have been down the rabbit hole, that middle part when the song slows down for me represents the time when u are stuck but u don´t realize it, time flies by so fast even though at the time it feels like time goes so very slowly, but when u get out of it(which is hell of a lot harder than anyone that has not been through it would think) u will notice that all of the years just kind of disappeared and for absolutely nothing
not even the fun times were actually as fun as they seemed at that time since the master made u think it was fun
sure, crazy and fun things happened and I´ve lived for sure, but in a haze
Thank you for doing Metallica! Love you guys! You two are so awesome 💕
I’m really impressed by how much y’all get the lyrical content. Great job!!!
I've watched probably 100 or more reactions to this song, and you guys are the first ones I can remember seeing that nailed what the tune was about before the "chop your breakfast on a mirror" line. Excellent work. Now you're ready for some bible study, as in it's time for Metallica's Creeping Death.
Just found this channel. I love Metallica, love watching reaction videos. Yall thought it through and listened and heard they're not just a loud band. Really enjoyed this. I was so happy when yall figured out the meaning of the song! Most dont, they listen then move on!
You two are amazing!!
You guys are awesome. I've watched so many react to this song and few have figured it out so quickly and those who've lived a sheltered life dont get it until someone clues them in.
Fade to Black Live in Moscow 1991. This is Metallica at their peak and the best live performance recorded of this song. Crowd was also reported at over 1 million. This one is emotional.
this song tries to take you through the mind of a a person with a addiction. You have your highs and lows, twists and turns. you can tell by the instrumental solos.
You guys nailed the meaning of the song. Some people have to look it up. Well done Half and Jai!
I remember getting on the school bus in the late 80's. One of my friends had one of those huge ghetto blaster stereos playing this song. It warms my heart to see young folks still getting down to the good shit!
Love this reaction.. I'm a metal head n it makes me smile seeing for your first time. Lol you guys are great
I was there and the J-sus delivered me. I love Metallica bc they remind me of where I was and where I was delivered from.
I love seeing people who havent had much exposure to Metal or rock music open their minds and genuinely listen to the music. Im a metal head from the 80's and people who didnt listen to that music always criticized it saying its just noise and that it makes people angry and aggressive. They never gave it a chance. I love seeing people realize there is more to metal than just screaming and aggressive attitudes. the lyrics are deep and the musicality is incredible. This kind of music doesn't make people angry. Not at all. Loving that you guys are listening with an ear for music, not just an ear for style.
First time viewer. You two are likable as hell. I’m glad to hear you appreciating the song that changed my life in high school.
you gotta do Metallica's Creeping Death.....loving you two's reactions...makes this old metal head proud seeing you both discover this music
Yes!
You guys got it.
Addiction and the control...you guys got it.
Much respect for getting the songs meaning in like 7 seconds!
