Brad & Lex
PO BOX 4393
Clearwater, FL 33758
Is it just me or does Lex seem like she is just incredibly fun to hang with?
Agreed! I want to take her to a metal show so bad! I don't know which would be more fun, watching the show or watching her at a live show, haha
I agree, I wonder if she dates white guys...
🍆🍆🍆🍆
@@johnmcmahonBXLA Bruh what they are literally a couple
@@everychannel1025 haha was thinking same thing. If she is anything like she is on videos... Brad pretty damn lucky dude. Great personality, that seems to be happy all the time.
She's definatly the cool 1
I absolutely love lex’s energy they way she always has that child like excitement completely adorable
I want to be her hahah she has such a likeable personality
She's got mosh pit written all over her (if she can find one respectful enough of her petite physique)...
🤣👍
The look on Brad's face is cracking me up and Lex is just ready to mosh his ass. You two are so entertaining!! **Brad kinda, sorta, almost started to head bang on this one** I call that progress!
That’s a brillant name you’ve got there. Imagining a parody of the song and the video
They are the cutest couple. I love how Lex gets into the songs.
Yes, this two are nice, reaction is nice.
Brad is too much in his own head trying to figure it all out while hearing it for the first time instead of just enjoying it. I think he misses the purity of the song that really grabs you and makes you a fan.
@@petepeeters2921 Brad (when listening to metal) looks like he's stuck in an elevator in someone else's fart
The line, " take a look at the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will" has always hit me so hard.
Yeah, me too man. So hard.
It is based on the book :
"For Whom The Bell Tolls"
- Earnest Hemingway
There is a Version on Audible (elsewhere I'm sure), narrated by Campbell Scott....
Better than most movies !!
About an American helping the rebels in the Spanish Civil War.
@@kennethalbert4653 I've read all of Hemingway's books and most of his short stories. He's one on my favorite authors.
@kylerobb8066 Not sure I've read all, but most.
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" is my favorite from anyone !
@@kennethalbert4653 My dad has a massive library of classical and contemporary literature. I would spend hours a day as a young'n just reading and reading and reading everything from ancient Greek philosophy to 80's science fiction lol. A Farewell to Arms is my favorite of Hemingway's books but my absolute favorite work of his is the short story called The Snows of Kilimanjaro. It's hauntingly powerful.
The song was inspired by the book "for whom the bell tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an american soldier fighting in the spanish civil war in 1937.
For whom the bells toll. I get the mixed up.
Actually in chapter 27 of the book it tells about how 5 men on defending a hill are blown up by an explosion. It tells about it in the song. "Men of 5 still alive through the raging glow" is the line that describes it.
And the title of EH's book is taken from a sermon by John Donne - one of the most celebrated texts in American literature.
@@DiegoCarreiro sentence confusing - assuming you mean Hemingway's novel, and not Donne's Meditation.
Hemingway wrote the book with the battle of Segovia in his mind. Ofensiva de la granja, 30 may / 4 june 1937. My grandfather fought there, in La Granja de San Ildefonso. At 18 years old. He lost his brother in the war, soldier too. They knew perfectly why they were fighting. I love this song but the part "for a hill men would kill, why they do not know. Stiffened wounds test their prides", was totally wrong. In that war everyone knew what they were fighting for.
Watching Brad actually get into the song gives me life and is a HUGE nod to Metallica! He doesn't do those head bops for just any song!
That's why I like watching their reactions because you get a real reaction
Ik Brad wants to give some negative reactions to alot of metal but doesn't but at least he doesn't give a fake good reaction when he doesn't feel it either
Yes..That's a Bass guitar in the intro!!! RIP CLIFF!!!!!
@Joao Santos James and Lars thought that Cliff's "Anesthesia" solo was a guitar too the first time they heard it in a club
So this guy makes it to heaven and he hears that intro being played, and asks the saints at the front door, is that Cliff Burton playing?!?!?!? The angels reply, "No, that's God, he just wants to be Cliff."
"Cliff'em All".....R.I.P. Brother
Literally one of the best musical intros ever committed to tape.
Oh yes, the wet or "plastic" guitar tone is unique and not my favourite but the song writing is top notch.
Neon knights is up there
HEY HEY HEY HEY! CMON HEY HEY HEY!
It's not Quite money for nothing which is the best intro of all time but it's pretty awesome.
Love it...
Her genuine hype for him liking the song. Lol adorable
Gotta say it. Lex is the cutest damn thing on RUclips. Imagine her at a metal concert? Both of y'all are awesome though and LOVE your reaction videos.
Hell yea, Brad is a lucky man. These two make music so fun!
Took the words out of my mouth. Hold on to that girl!
Hell yeah
Yep
Also she mentioned sound very “orchestral”...Cliff Burton studied classical guitar way before the bass, the way they wrote there songs was formed by Mr.Burton
His death is why their sound went into the toilet. Burton was the real heart behind Metallica.
Correct!!!
@@bassage13 Subjective opinion.
@@bassage13 I would say they did imo, but they lost a lot with Burton's death.
@@bassage13 absolutely.... They were lost after and justice. All out of gas. Been coasting ever since. Kinda sad really.
The sudden shift in mood when they jam to the sounds but then sense the crushing weight of the lyrics and the meaning of the whole song. Welcome to metal.
Lex is sooooo adorable I can’t stand it🥰
Agreed!
100%
This was the song that played as we walk into the stadium for all our home football games!
My son's school played Enter Sandman at their football games
Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets albums are really something special.
Master of Puppets is a Masterpiece
Kill 'em All is their perfect first album too, reminiscent of Tool's Opiate in just how raw and aggressive it is compared to future albums.
Those two releases are Lars at his best.
Cliff Burtons bass playing in the beginning of this song is legendary. You guys should listen to, “Fade to Black” off of this album. That song is incredible.
Seek and destroy is a song that sends the crowds to a next level at Metallica concerts.
👍👍👍
Absolutely
Quite possibly their most kick ass song
Live? No thx
@@kevinmckee6985 I'm curious. Why you say live? No thanxs. I've had a blast at their shows.
I love how happy Lex is that Brad "kinda likes this one" lol 😆
If I'm having a bad day I come here to watch Lex react to some metal music. She is a true head banger....Love it
Let's face it she's the ONLY reason to come to this channel
@@prprod no no the music
@@prprod and I'd totally kiss Brad
@@petew4779 yoo😂
@@petew4779 huh!?!?!
These two make me smile... they are honest and real and I love it. The world is a better place with these two :) I wish you both the best!
Word up
Brad your metal ears are finally starting to tune in sometimes it takes a while so proud of you my brother welcome to the dark side
He ain't there yet. She is
This is one of Metallica’s Masterpieces of Music. Their ability to tell a story with not just the lyrics but their instruments still astounds me and no band can match their ability.
I have had the great opportunity to see hundreds of bands in my life, including Metallica 3 times. I will go to my grave saying they are the best band to ever exist. Their guitar, drums, lyrics, are so powerful, then you add James Hetfield on vocals, just sick. They are soo damned good. They are MASTERS of their craft
"Fade to Black' is a good one from this album.
Great song. A lot of people consider that their best song.
@@Pumpkin3.14pi me😎👍🏻
Yes! It’s also in my top 5 Metallica songs along with this one. Great song.
They have done a reaction to it. Surprisingly enough Brad didn't vibe to it as much as this song.
ruclips.net/video/5YPf2C1Olg4/видео.html
Great song, serious topic. Not a song to play for your teen.
I am watching Brad & Lex for the first time. I am a middle-aged guy from the midwest who grew up listening to SO many of the songs they are reviewing. I LOVE that they want to listen to such a huge variety of songs from so many eras. I LOVE that they keep an open mind going into each song (or so it seems). The song selection is great, but I'm biased due to my musical preferences and how they allign with the songs they review. I am beyond impressed and captivated by the personalities and reactions. Genuine with a good vibe. Love it.
That bass solo in the intro is legendary! Cliff Burton was an absolute boss. Hearing this when I was like 7 or 8, was like yes I've found my band! As a life long Metallica fan I love seeing people get into it for the first time. You two rock! \m/
band sound changed forever when he died ... He was extremely talented
@@jimnasium1243 he really was, as great as Jason was and Robert is…they don’t play bass the way Cliff did
Cliff 'em all!!!
Agree, just wish more Metallica fans would give Newsted a break. The dude was nothing but awesome as a musician but more so as the embodiment of what is great about music-love and passion.
He absolutely loved being in Metallica and many fans never completely took to him and even the band mates were seriously pricks to the guy. F’ing ridiculous!!
@@jimmccue577 Love Em All
Brad seems like such a chill and relaxed dude to hang with and vibe, and Lex seems like the type of person to always make you wanna go “aww” with everything she says
The most amazing thing about this album is when this was made the band members were 22 -23 years old
Whenever a person cuffs their hands to their headphones when listening to something, the way Lex did at the outro of the song,; It's because the song is having an impact on them, musically. She's feeling it. It took her to another place.
I love that feeling. LOL.
Orion or call of ktulu if you like the sound of ride the lightning!!!!
orion is on master of puppets album
@@MARMAR-xw6gj never said Orion wasn’t…
I want to see a three-parter of the big three instrumentals - Call of Ktulu, Orion, and To Live Is To Die
@@wittay Brad would be supremely bored doing that I think lol Would be interesting to see though.
Just a random fact for you the "bell" in the song isnt actually a bell, they wanted a bell ringing in the song, the studio wanted them to use a pre programmed bell tone and they didnt like them... Lars hapened to find a small anvil in the recording area and the bell sound you hear in the song is actually Lars hitting an anvil....
How do you know that?
@@brennanthabault9449 per an interview with producer Flemming Rasmussen... Heres a snippet of the interview...
The Tolling Bell Isn’t a Bell At All…
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 bar, and we stuck them in an all-concrete room. He’d just go wang.”
@@williamdrake6711 The problem with that story is that an anvil doesn't make a sound like that. Maybe if it's slowed down, but I still doubt it.
@@mmestari it is per lars and the producer.. But ok... Im well aware what ring an anvil makes... I forge and admin bladesmithing and blacksmithing groups..
@@williamdrake6711 I'm utterly convinced that whoever told the story is simply misremembering and it spread around the internet as 'fact'. The bell sounds 100% like a bell and 0% like an anvil. What does sound much more like an anvil however is the "bell" in the middle of the song Escape during the part where James sings "See them try to bring the hammer down"
Lex is having the time of her life. You just have to love her. She is shoving again brad and just enjoying the music 🎵🎵
1:20 looks like she’s been to a Metallica concert!! She started her own mosh pit ❤️
Lex got it. The ending was definitely an artistic choice. Metallica, tool etc great bands will do that.
You've got to try Orion by Metallica soon! It's an instrumental and a masterpiece!
It’s a symphony.
🤘🤘🤘
Brad probably won't like it, I guess it's better to stick to more focused songs like this one.
Orion and The Call of Ktulu are both absolute masterpieces!!
YES
I love how excited Lex got when he said he really liked this one !!!!!!!
I love how she gets so into it. So awesome
Lex is so full of life! Brad is such a lucky guy!👍
seeing how brad enjoyed this one makes me think he would enjoy sad but true
Yea that's probably my favorite song by them and I'm not a huge fan or anything. Great song.
Also “Nothing Else Matters”.
I freaking love how she gets into it. Metallica is badass!!!!!!
If you like “orchestral” music, listen to the live performance of “No Leaf Clover” from Metallica’s 1999 S&M concert.
And Hero Of The Day from same concert.
i actually went down to the comments to suggest this very song. i think Brad would like "No Leaf Clover" since it has a strong consistent base line beat similar to "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Always been a favorite
Also love the S&M version of One.
Not! no one should listen to that shit
Girl needs her own TV show. Her energy is so infectious
"This might be the best Metallica song ever" Well, you're not wrong lol
It was the first song that hooked me before Master came out.
Not my favorite but its awesome
Everyone has their own “best song” as that phrase is really, really subjective. Just shows how different all people are.
It’s up there. Top 10 definitely in my opinion. My favorite song from Metallica is Master of Puppets.
Some of my favorite songs from metallica is Master of Puppets and One
Smile dude, having a partner that's super into music like this is rare :)
I love these two, their Metal journey gives me life
Love it. She even did Ric Flair"s wooooo in this reaction. They still tour and I saw them in Daytona a couple months ago. You should both go and see them.
She is very cute and energetic, always looking over at him seemingly for confirmation
or maybe to see Brad reactions and if he is loosening up..
You two are a good team, balance each other..
Lex gets excited to see Brad expressive..
This song kind of gives me the chills in parts..
Lex's energy is beyond point! Also way cool to see eye being opening Brad.
Love Brad's stoic "It's not bad", while Lex is jamming out like crazy per the norm. Always make me smile watching these. Keep up the good work!
Love how Lexi starts grooving to the bass right away
I've always loved this song! I belly dance and used to practice my different shimmys to this. Other dancers would ask me how I could shimmy so precisely and endlessly with no effort. The O face they would make as I said Metallica. ROFL
The heavy riffs throughout the intro, the bass, and the drum fills. 😩 Augh, so good! 😂
The moment Brad heard the bass played like a lead Guitar..he was hooked! And Lex could sense his guard was down😂😂
I've BEEN waiting for you guys to get on this one! The intro riff was played on a bass guitar with the use of a wah pedal - the term "lead bass" was attributed to Cliff Burton, Metallica's bassist at the time who passed away after the release of the Master of Puppets album. God rest his soul... When I discovered this fact it inspired me to pick up the bass myself. (:
And I 100% understand why the "beat" of Bells appeals so much to Brad. If you really wanna turn your man into a Metallica lover, Lex, I recommend doing a reaction to Sad But True - I really think Brad would be able to appreciate that one. It's *heavy*, but also has the groovy beat he loves to hear.
You guys are awesome. Rock on!
Since Lex likes crazy solos so much, I highly recommend ''Ride the Lightning'', which has what is probably Metallica's best guitar solo ever.
This entire album is so epic
Disposable Heroes enters the chat
@@CD-gk9ix Intro solo of No Remorse says hello.
@@Neal_RUclips the intro? Gonna count the whole thing?
I swear lex looked like she was ready to get into a mosh pit at the beginning! Keep rocking out!
This is how old school metal was. Nothing compares to that era and that sound
Lex mentions Metallica songs having this Orchestral feel.
Check out the album Metallica S&M. They play with the San Francisco Symphoy
i do have that CD it's and it's really good..
I was thinking that too!
The need to do Four leaf clover.
I love the way Lex is excited about Brad being like "yeah kinda getting into it."
Lex: Because you had that robot face! 🤖 Lex is So Ready to go to a Metallica Concert!! Brad, I'm so happy to see you Enjoying the music 🎶
You are both a breath of fresh air & your reactions are just Authentic!! Keepin it Real 💯
Love that cliff on bass was the biggest part of the intro
I would love for you to react to Bleeding me by Metallica. One of their best 90s songs.
They created the heavy metal recipe as they went, garage days/showed talents. killem/young man basics, masters/ usually experimental for most bands but for them it worked 100% and showed the musical chops. All thier toons have a topic or message. They are the spoon,they are the metal!
Rest In Piece Cliff. His opening to this is amazing. Y'all should watch Cliff Burton perform Anesthesia
Love her reaction to guitars. She is a Metalhead at heart!
The outro was like a visualization of the agony and turmoil in war, with the bell tolling in the background. It felt like the transition from war into death and Hell.
Looks like Brad is starting to come around lol, great reaction, more Metallica please !
I feel ‘proud’ as a surrogate for their music…got me through so many hard times! Glad to see their universal appeal.
Love it! This has always been my favorite Metallica song..saw them back in`92..Awesome! Keep On Rockin`
Brad listens more to lyrics and Lexi just jams.. you 2 are why I'm on your channel !!! You complete each other ❤️ Love it
I have watched several of your reactions now to Metallica and I have to say "Lex, you are a legit METALHEAD" LOL
I want to buy her tickets to a Metallica concert….the energy is incredible!
ITS HER ENERGY FOR ME !!! ROCK ON
The fade out is "time marching on" and the shrieking guitars are the soldiers' last cries.
I loved at 1:30 when Lex looped Brad's are got his head banging.
This has been one of my favorite songs, and albums, since it first dropped.
Cool how they used this track in the movie ZombieLand it was awesome
Lex has the right mood. Brad is like a golem, stoically immovable, analyzing lyrics.
This is my favorite song from Metallica. Love watching Lex get into the songs.
Man I only just saw this now (hey still getting them eyes on), but I can't help it. The slow build to "this kinda hard" in the best way is *exactly* what someone like me coming in late and looking for appeals could've hoped for. That's it, that's the thing, you totally got it. Lol
This is the first song I ever heard from Metallica. Hooked me. You better mosh with that girl, Brad! LOL
Same! A Metallica concert was being promoted on whatever radio station I was listening to back in the 80s and they used a snippet of the chorus from this song and I was instantly like, “WHAT?” They soon became my favorite band of all time. And then the black album came out.
I had the pleasure to see them perform this live at the Monsters of Rock Show at Giants Stadium in NJ August 1986, when they played For Whom the Bell Tolls the stadium went crazy…
The whole ride the lightning album is great my favorite.
The intro is among my favorite, you got the drums, the guitar work. The very first thing they start with is some bass from the great Cliff Burton. Easily one of my favorites from Metallica.
This right here is why Metallica is the greatest
If you only listen to Metallica maybe
@@Qthetar Okay edgy guy - I have seen Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Iggy Pop, Rammstein, Green Day, The Offspring, Kiss, Whitesnake, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Mötley Cure, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Ghost, Slipknot, Nightwish, Avenged Sevenfold, Tenacious D, Alice In Chains, The Darkness, Machine Head, Rise Against, Manowar live. The list goes on. I listen and see ALOT of stuff. What’s your excuse for being salty?
You guys, as I go through some tough shit, you bring me some joy and happy.
yall should have done the live version with cliff when they were all young
Day on the Green🤘
I fucking love how they are so fucking happy. I haven’t smiled like this since 2020.
I'd really love to see you two react to some of the versions from the S&M album, where Metallica teamed up with the San Francisco Symphony Orcistra.
This is by far my favorite reaction video of you two😁 Lex is awesome, I've listened to this song for 10's of years... Seeing the inner headbanger eagerly creeping out of her really makes my day👏👏👏
When he said “it’s not bad” it took everything in him to not head bang😂
You two are metal heads at heart.. Welcome to the family.
Lex, you will absolutely love “Dyers Eve”.
Absolutely one of my favorites! So, I would have to second that. I would also like to see them do (Welcome home) Sanitarium.
Excellent recommendation.
I could see her singing along to frayed ends of sanity
I remember listening to this song driving home from work once, And right as I was going through a roundabout a hearse joined in behind right as James sang ''For whom the bell tolls''. I couldn't stop laughing at the perfect timing.
It’s definitely time to rock out with:
Pantera - Walk, This Love or Cemetery Gates
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction.
Iron Maiden - Trooper or Run to the Hills.
If they do Iron Maiden they should start with Hallowed be thy name
@@jonathanhuggins654 they did that one last night on the live stream. They did a live version. Lex seemed to enjoy it.
@@christym1974 they also do great with Rhyme of ancient mariner. But it's a long song
You guys crack me up. Love watching your reactions and hearing your thoughts on each song. Very special couple. Thanks for this reaction...I liked the song a lot.
The lyrics in this song were inspired by the Ernest Hemingway novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Good song, but I agree the outro is a little anticlimactic.
So is the book! So maybe it was intentional 😉
That book is about the spanish civil war in the 30s, he was there. The hill he talks about has actually been identified. The battle there was a massacre.
@@Orion4976 the battle of Segovia, May-june 1937. My grandpa fought there, in La Granja de San Ildefonso. When I see Metallica on tour, and they play this song with the images on the screems...I always remember my grandfather.
@@flintafus2527 James probably read it in highschool
It tolls for thee! I loved the book. Some of the lyrics are right out of it.
There is a nice music video for this song with scenes from the (lesser) movie.
one of my favorite metallica songs, and often overlooked
Lex has the best energy everytime, she's a national treasure
💡🙏🎶 You guys are so RAW to this genre and it’s such interesting journey your on 😂 So much fun
I swear, shes contagious!
