TIMESTAMPS: Me crying - 14:45 Battery - 2:10 Master Of Puppets - 9:53 The Thing That Should Not Be - 20:25 Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - 28:12 Disposable Heroes - 36:14 Leper Messiah - 47:47 Orion - 54:25 Damage, Inc. - 1:06:40 Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video I enjoy watching you Expand your mind .Black Sabbath is always great, but in order you have killed them. All come, ride the lightning, master of pups and justice for all, and garage days Re ReVisited. And so on... And you don't have to listen to them in order.....But you will see how they evolved over the years.... It's all about searching seeking and destroy
When this album first came out, I bought it just because it had metal in the name.I was 15 years old and it started off acoustic and slow.I was like.What is this and then it blew my head up
You are very sensitive, i cry a lot with songs, but i never saw crying on a very hard rock/metal songs, that's why people loves you, legit and humble. Thank you.
Doom Metal and Black metal are genres that never fail to make me cry with albums like None - The Damp Chill of Life, MSW - Obliviosus, Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes, Chrch - Light Will Consume Us All...
I was 15 and my parents and sisters had to listen to this album multiple times. My bedroom door was shut but I had a Pioneer stack stereo with Kenwood tower speakers. The entire family heard this album cranked full volume.
The intro to Orion is distorted base and is one of my favourite intros to a metallica song ever. And Cliff was alive when this came out, he died before ...And Justice For All came out and To Live Is To Die is the song that was made in his memory
You know what you should do - a full watch reaction to the S&M (1999) concert video. Iconic Metallica performance, and a great mix of familiar and less familiar songs.
The first Metallica album I bought because it was as close to a “best of” as I had never heard any of their albums before having just found them on Kerrang. Listened to it in the car and was asked not to play it while I was in the office car park as I was disturbing all the other companies. Bought “lightning” next and went on from there. I was 54 then and went to see them at Wembley for the Sick of the Studio tour. Three gigs at 02 followed. My brother asked why I couldn’t stick to MotR music like other middle aged women. I told him I felt I’d come home.
you are discovering the emotion of listening to a complete album... I have done it this way for years... it is something that algorithms and Spotify have stolen from the new generations. It is now considered an achievement for someone to enjoy 40 seconds of a song before moving on to the next.
Imagine me hearing this for the first time when it came out in 1986 and I was thirteen. It absolutely blew my mind. It was some of the most cutting edge Metal for its time. The way it influenced a generation cannot be measured.
One thing to remember is that this album came out in the era or vinyl and cassettes, so the album is laid out in a side a / side b format. Battery starts side A, and ends with Sanitarium, which is a bit like the first act of a play. Side B is then laid out in a bit of a mirror image of side A to bring the album full circle and set you up for a re-listen on side A. So side B comes back in with Disposable Heroes and Leper Messiah. Orion sits opposite of Master of Puppets (both with big melodic bridges), and then ends up back at Damage, Inc which very much matches the energy and feel of Battery... which just so happens to be the first song back on Side A. This whole album is such a masterpiece in its entirety. It truly is timeless. By the way, I don't know if you knew this, but the anniversary of the bus accident that took Cliff from us is next week (Sept 27th). Can't believe it's been 38 years. 😢
Kids today will never understand the format of the good old days. Listening to an entire album is lost on them. MOP is one of the greatest albums ever committed to tape. Tape, not computers. What an amazing accomplishment by everyone involved. A true masterpiece.
Best metal album of all time, this album was released March 3rd 1986 and cliff died September 27th 1986 during their MOP Tour, still one of the biggest tragedies in music, RIP Cliff , all hail Metallica
When I was like 9, I went on a family camping trip. My brother let me use his Walkman with the Master of Puppets tape in it... my life was never the same. 🤘
I LOVE the emotion you show!! That's being real. That shows a depth that not everyone has. Anyone can hear music, some listen, but not everyone FEELS it. I get it. Great music is a kind of therapy for me. ❤️
The part that gave you chills in Orion at the 57:21 is Cliff Burton on the bass. The song actually rolled in on volume swells with Cliff's bass. Later during the slower guitar solos, Cliff joins in again with another solo on his bass finish the waltz part he laid down on the bass. That whole slow section restarting on the bass was the actual inspiration for the whole song. Metallica was never the same when Cliff died. They did good stuff later, but the best Metallica is Master of Puppets. Cliff was the secret sauce of Metallica. BTY, Cliff opens with bass volume swells on Damage, Inc.
Last weekend i was at Cliffs memorial stone for my yearly visit. Ive been there atleast once a year and every damn time i cry rivers. It seems to never go any other way when im there. The stone was put up in 2006 but i have been there since 1987 paying my respect. May he always Rock. In. Peace ❤
This, "Metallica's Master of Puppets has become the first heavy metal album to be added to America's National Recording Registry. The government-run library picks 25 recordings judged to be "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". It keeps the best-quality originals to safeguard for future generations. "
This is not only my favorite Metallica album but it's the greatest album the world has ever known. To say I love Metallica is an understatement. I don't have enough words to describe how much I love Metallica ❤️💯❤️
that sound at the beginning of orion and damage inc is cliff. he changed metal bass as a whole in only a few years. what a legend. great reaction molly 🤘🤘
One of my wife's favourate albums. i knew she was awesome when we married 36 years ago. We framed her favourate childhood record: Black Sabbath Paranoid.
Back in the day before the Interwebs, this is how us Metalheads listened to music. From beginning to end. The band probably took a while to figure out the proper track listing. It's a painstaking process, But I think they got it right...
I was so hyped during this whole video. Loved watching you rediscover songs that you had forgotten :) Fire hoodie too, I want one! Orion is my favorite song btw and that section you pointed out is one of the heaviest Metallica riffs there is! 🤠
I'd also like to add, I believe your musical palate has been expanded enough and your ear is more tuned to listen to metal/rock these days so you are noticing little nuances and things you probably didn't hear before because it was such a shock to your system in the beginning. Have enjoyed watching your journey! Keep it up little bro!
1988 - UIC Pavillion, Chicago, upper Deck, center stage, last row. Queensryche opened. 1st concert ever and still the best. Master of puppets came on and it was nothing but a sea of hair. I can close my eyes and I’m back there. It was incredible.
Bro, ya fill me with joy seeing you enjoy this. I really enjoy your videos. My big brother took me to see Metallica live in Chatanooga Tennessee for my 14th birthday... 36 years ago! Their music has been a background soundtrack in my life. Seen em 15 times over the years, took my wife to see them in Orlando about 4 years ago, not in the pit anymore but thats ok😂 Keep on keepin on, metal up your ass!!!
Something often slept on about Metallica in general, is James ability to write some of the most chilling, eye opening, inspiring lyrics. You should react to Inomorata sometime and pay attention to the words and how the song is written. Metallica songs are 4 dimensional. If you notice that solo, the lyrics reflect the song. The drugs have you. Then the beautiful bridge, recovery, back to the verse, relapse. Every song is like this in different way. The maestros of music itself * I’m talking about master of puppet’s song structure btw*
Yes this is Cliff. Yes the sound at the beginning of Orion is bass. This album was released a few months before his death, and it is Cliff's magnum opus.
Your anticipation of guitar solos made me smile and think back to the days. 15, 1985 and 86. The guitar solos of multiple metal bands were all we talked about.
Thanks for doing this video. Seeing you react to the album that changed my life and hearing that it has changed you too really got me. Cliff Burton was the bassist for Master of Puppets, and good ear on that being the bass on Orion. Cliff was one of a kind, and we can only wonder what might have been had he not died in the bus crash. Love and respect for Jason and later Robert, but truly replacing Cliff was not possible. I plan on Orion playing on close circuit when they cart me off to the cemetery and bury my ass. Master of Puppets is and always will be my favorite album. It's the guys 3rd album, but it was my first time hearing Metallica. They didn't play Thrash metal on the radio in 80's, especially not in small Midwest towns. I was disobeying my parents by listening to what metal I could find. Then I saw a T-shirt with a hammer and a pool of blood " Kill'em All " Metallica. That weekend I got a ride to the record store in a nearby city. An underground basement kind of place. I found Metallica cassettes, but only had enough money for 1. There was something about that field of crosses on the cover that said this is the one. There wasn't a car stereo, so I had to wait until I got home and got out my Walkman, completely unprepared for what I was about to hear. I clicked play, and Battery, and that was it. I was different. I wore that tape out, and in the coming weeks bought everything Metallica I could find, Kill'em All, Ride the Lightening , those were great times. I have dragged on for long enough, but one last tidbit, that whisper "Damage Incorporated", thats Cliff Burton, not James. Cool, eh?
I saw Metallica in July 2024 in Warsaw. It was my first Metallica concert . I have no words ,describing this experience. If you have chance to go at Metallica concert, go and don't hesitate
To this day, my all time favorite album in any genre by any artist. I’ve listened to it at LEAST a thousand times and that’s almost certainly on the low end.
Thanks for the treat 😍 I looked it up for you...10 months ago you've listened to Battery ;) also Orion you've listened 10 months ago 😂 And yes it's Cliff Burton on the bass The beginning of the number Orion and trough the whole number Cliff is playing along , an yes when they where on tour in 1986 he Died is the tourbus accident .... so yes you here Cliff ( RIP) on the album....BASS SOLO TAKE ONE !!!!!
Glad you decided to listen to this in its entirety so that you could remind yourself about the songs you had forgotten. Such a masterpiece of an album. You should definitely give Disposable Heroes and The Thing That Should Not Be a few more spins. Those are my two favorite Metallica songs of all time :)
Summer 87, I was 9 years old and my friend older brother give me this album on tape and say " listen that kid, it will change your life". He has right, I still metalhead since day and master of puppets still my favorite album ever.
This is so cool. The fact that you don't remember the whole album is a sign of the times. You had playlists and we had albums. It is great to listen to these records again with you.
Wanna know why i love your reactions, specially reactions of this album? Because this is exactly what i experienced in 1986, when a good friend of mine gave me this album and I listened to the first time. I was blown away. I'm now 52 years old and it still gives me goose bumbs. This is by far the album i listened the most from beginning to the end in my life. I can't count it
You were so lost when Orion came on I was lmao. Orion is one of my favorite on the album, I love how the lead guitar stands in for the vocals. I'd loved to see you do a full playthrough of Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power
There are very few 10/10 albums, but this is definitely one of them. This was Cliff's last album, he died a few months after this was released. The whispers on Damage Inc. are Cliff, and it's such an emotional component of the song and the album given his death. If you get a chance, check out any of their live performances of Orion and you can see who is performing which part of the song. Great video, Declan! Looking forward to the next album breakdown. Believe by Disturbed just had its 22nd birthday, and it's also a great album from a great American heavy metal band.
I think it's really tough to argue that this is anything but a perfect album. Every single song is incredible and the order and pacing of the album is just unreal. IMO this is Metallica's best album and is the best metal album of all time at least that I've heard of.
I look forward to seeing your reaction videos daily and get bummed when I don't see a new one. I know you have a life outside of this reaction world but wanted to give my praises to you on your channel. I have seen many reaction stations and yours is far above most.
Super video Mollyboy. So glad you went all out full album on this, when you listen to it like that you get to hear all the different styles that Metallica can bring in one album, beautiful melodies, solos, thrash, heck even some grungy down tuned songs and riffs, and this was all done a long time ago. You listen to James's lyrics, nobody was writing...no hang on...nobody IS writing lyrics like that now, and bands would kill to have songs that sound like that now. Nice to see emotion from you mate, that's what great music does to you, it's done it for me plenty of times. Keep up the great videos!
This was just pure awesomeness, the way you show your emotions for songs is amazing and I really hope you keep doing that! You should do more of these like for Ride the lightning or And justice for all, I really enjoyed the video thank you so much for these great videos🤘🤘
❤️❤️❤️ I just saw Metallica live for the first time a month ago. Fucking UNBELIEVABLE!!! If you get the chance you have to. It was so fucking loud and the crowd was so loud. I brought my 16 year old daughter. It was fucking emotional for me! When they played Master of Puppets….i can’t even EXPLAIN how that felt. Or Harvester of Sorrow and Blackened….i was listening to those songs when i was 13. It was pretty amazing to hear them live with my daughter and 70,000 other people. ❤️❤️❤️ They also played Orion, beautiful!
This is so awesome. You truly love music man - watching you get emotional got me emotional too. Music is amazing. It’s so cool you found this band and resonated with them - brings me back to when I discovered them (it was this album too). once you’re in, you’re a lifer. Enjoy 🤘
So glad you are reacting to this album one of my favorites of Metallica....love the way you are such an old soul and are so open to try older bands enjoy the album love ya❤⚡🎸🎹🕺⚡🥁🎸🎵🎶🎵❗❗❗😊
You are not the only one who gets emotional or chills with these tunes. It is hard to describe, it just gets you so hyped up, it can be really emotional... but also the juxtaposition of the soft sections and melodies can get you sometimes too, like the melodic/solo section in Master of Puppets. I'm a guitarist myself and love this stuff and get emotional or chills from music in general, including really heavy stuff. Regarding thrash metal though there is still a lot of really great stuff out there along the lines of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer etc. Also IMO some really great speed metal and power metal too, with brilliant musicianship. I find those three genre of metal - thrash, speed and power, have a lot of bands that tend to blur the lines between each other.
Grew up on this album when I was younger than you are now, and it's one of the best albums ever. The production on it is BRILLIANT (especially in light of what they did to Justice). But your reaction to it was powerful sir. Music can move us to places we never thought we'd go. Rock on!
Bro, I was literally 21 years ok when this came out. It is an unparalleled masterpiece. I had the chance to see them live in concert quite a few times in the 80s and 90s
Whenever I want to go back to the days I’m finding myself watching your videos. Every Saturday night we would all go to Angie’s house. This album and and justice for all was playing full blast. Man! 50 friends all gathering in the greatest basement parties I can remember. Rock on my friend!
What a rollercoaster! Love this album and appreciated your reaction to this! Merry Christmas to you and yours! My best idea saving this to experience today. ~FM :)
I was sent to a, "bad boy" home the year this came out. When I went there, everyone listened to different stuff. The day I left, every room was playing metallica.
I was 14 at the end of the school year and this little stoner chick brought in this album and played Disposable Heroes in art class... I was enthralled... Was into hip hop, pop, r&b etc. before that, but this was life changing. They weren't on any mainstream stations or MTV yet, so most had never heard anything like thrash. Amazing time! Cliff died on tour for this album and yes, that is his bass you hear at the beginning of Orion.
AJFA was my intro to ‘Tallica. Old enough to have bought the first 3 albums on tape, get them chewed up in the cr@ppy car tape player, buy them again, and record “car copies” to be played to destruction, then re-recorded!
You made my day MollyBoy. I only had 5 beers in me after work and had run out of reactions to watch whilst i wind down, and then i saw your reaction. Battery is one of the best starts to an album ever and i can't wait until you get to Damage Inc...i'll be on about beer 10 by then, and moving on to the bamboo schooners.
This was my first introduction to metal as well, I still remember it well. 1985 15yrs old. I listened to it over and over and over on cassette tape, and it still has not gotten old. Yeah, it's definitely in the top of the greatest albums ever.
TIMESTAMPS:

La mejor reacción de todas, lloré contigo ❤
Possibly the greatest metal album of all time. Considering their age it's quite amazing. Rip Cliff what a loss
Half a century old dude agrees. James vocals are outstanding, but Orion will always be one of my favorite songs ever, by any band, period.
There are very few albums I can listen to from start to end. This is one of those albums.
@@michalkuban9888 Same here, and Slayer's Reign In Blood. MOP and RIB are my two favorite metal albums by far.
@@mattdye2870Agreed. I listen to it every day almost. Learned it on guitar in 1999 and fell in love
Have you listened to every metal album released ? I doubt it but this is a great album tho
You are very sensitive, i cry a lot with songs, but i never saw crying on a very hard rock/metal songs, that's why people loves you, legit and humble. Thank you.
I love this kid! So much music to show him. I can’t wait. He’s the son I’ve never had. Haha.

SAME... my parents didnt even know who they were and hated the hell outta them!!
@@HellOnWheelsTxn lmfao this is making me laugh harder/just as much as the ending laughter to this track, genius!!!
When I listen to Metallica, so do my neighbors 🤘🤣🤘
The intro to Orion is distorted base and is one of my favourite intros to a metallica song ever. And Cliff was alive when this came out, he died before ...And Justice For All came out and To Live Is To Die is the song that was made in his memory
@@DrSans7323 played through a Leslie as well I believe
I am over 50 and still head banging to every Metallica's song , it's the best sense day one and still going hard with 72 seasons . 🤘👍🥰
HA!!! I got you beat by 22 years. Always have a Metallica or Korn cd in the car at all times!!😁🥰
58 here and I remember my intro to Metallica with that EP cassette of Am I Evil and Creeping Death. Just like yesterday 🤘
Think if our parents at 54. Not big fans. I'm happy to say that I bang my head as much as possible!
@@patsstuffclark9522nope. Lol ❤❤❤
55. Same!!
You know what you should do - a full watch reaction to the S&M (1999) concert video.
Iconic Metallica performance, and a great mix of familiar and less familiar songs.
Yeah that would be good. S&M Will make you look and hear Metallica in a different way.
The first Metallica album I bought because it was as close to a “best of” as I had never heard any of their albums before having just found them on Kerrang. Listened to it in the car and was asked not to play it while I was in the office car park as I was disturbing all the other companies. Bought “lightning” next and went on from there.

You my friend are slowley turning to be a true metal head Mollyboy ❤ Welcome to the greatest family there are in music.
You Sir, win the comments 🤘
Holy shit! Full album listen to this masterpiece??!! Let’s get it
Disposable Heroes hands down one of the greatest Metallica songs. Scary riffs!!!🤘i
Totally agree, goosebumps. Greetings from Hungary. 🤘
you are discovering the emotion of listening to a complete album...
I have done it this way for years... it is something that algorithms and Spotify have stolen from the new generations.
It is now considered an achievement for someone to enjoy 40 seconds of a song before moving on to the next.
I does my heart good to see the same emotions that I experience when listening to such iconic music. There will never be another!
Imagine me hearing this for the first time when it came out in 1986 and I was thirteen. It absolutely blew my mind. It was some of the most cutting edge Metal for its time. The way it influenced a generation cannot be measured.
Came for the Orion reaction, was not disappointed 😂
Me too!!!!
If you want a treat , go listen to isolated bass track and you’ll hear what you were asking, Cliffs distorted bass guitar 🤘🏻
You deserve to go see these guys man. I saw em in Seattle a couple weeks ago.
Seen em in 85,88,92,96,2001 ,2004,2010,2017,,ans now 2024
I was there in Seattle too! on the floor at the bigger mosh pit both nights!
He defiantly needs to see Metallica live. I’ve seen them three times and never forgotten it.
I was there in Seattle for night 2! Going to see them next year in Houston. I’m going for the pit!
Im near Seattle, jealous, and wish i could see them one day! 🤘✌️

Agreed. Leper Messiah is heavily underrated.
Kirk's solos, Cliffs baselines, Lars' frenetic drumming and James ' heavy rhythm guitar 🎸 ♥️ and vocals are haunting ♥️ 👌
Best metal album of all time, this album was released March 3rd 1986 and cliff died September 27th 1986 during their MOP Tour, still one of the biggest tragedies in music, RIP Cliff , all hail Metallica
I mean, it’s the best metal album of all time…
I’ve listened all the way through 1,000+ times since the age of 16, yet I can’t look away.
I love this album, but it's not as good as classic sabbath
Never get bored ot it, this and Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
@@denz180 I love classic Sabbath, but none of their albums are as consistent as this one imo.
@@denz180 incorrect.
one of the most influential and legendary, but not even close to the best
When I was like 9, I went on a family camping trip. My brother let me use his Walkman with the Master of Puppets tape in it... my life was never the same. 🤘

May he always Rock. In. Peace ❤
I felt the same way when I brought this album home as a 12 year old kid, blew my mind!

oh dear molly....u really made my day with this ....i enjoyed it so much...tytyty very much.
Don't apologize bruv. Best metal album ever needs no apologies, explanations or intros. Rock the f**k on!
I love how much you love Leper Messiah. Cheers, it was fun listening to the full album with you.
1988 - UIC Pavillion, Chicago, upper Deck, center stage, last row. Queensryche opened. 1st concert ever and still the best. Master of puppets came on and it was nothing but a sea of hair. I can close my eyes and I’m back there. It was incredible.

Also stop vaping and vaping weed. Smoke herb and use zyns. Thank me later
Yes this is Cliff. Yes the sound at the beginning of Orion is bass. This album was released a few months before his death, and it is Cliff's magnum opus.

That weekend I got a ride to the record store in a nearby city. An underground basement kind of place. I found Metallica cassettes, but only had enough money for 1. There was something about that field of crosses on the cover that said this is the one. There wasn't a car stereo, so I had to wait until I got home and got out my Walkman, completely unprepared for what I was about to hear. I clicked play, and Battery, and that was it. I was different. I wore that tape out, and in the coming weeks bought everything Metallica I could find, Kill'em All, Ride the Lightening , those were great times. I have dragged on for long enough, but one last tidbit, that whisper "Damage Incorporated", thats Cliff Burton, not James. Cool, eh?
I saw Metallica in July 2024 in Warsaw. It was my first Metallica concert . I have no words ,describing this experience. If you have chance to go at Metallica concert, go and don't hesitate
I was in Warsaw on their 2 concerts too - such an amazing experience!
Man this album is so damn good. I used to listen to welcome home sanitarium every day. Keep up the good work!
FINALLY AN ALBUM REVIEW! And btw, once you start, you can’t stop 😉 keep up the great content!
To this day, my all time favorite album in any genre by any artist. I’ve listened to it at LEAST a thousand times and that’s almost certainly on the low end.
10:05 boy was on point with those air drums, I must say.
Haha yeah I noticed too 🤘
Thanks for the treat 😍 I looked it up for you...10 months ago you've listened to Battery ;) also Orion you've listened 10 months ago 😂 And yes it's Cliff Burton on the bass The beginning of the number Orion and trough the whole number Cliff is playing along , an yes when they where on tour in 1986 he Died is the tourbus accident .... so yes you here Cliff ( RIP) on the album....BASS SOLO TAKE ONE !!!!!
Can you believe this was mid 80’s. so effing good
Glad you decided to listen to this in its entirety so that you could remind yourself about the songs you had forgotten. Such a masterpiece of an album. You should definitely give Disposable Heroes and The Thing That Should Not Be a few more spins. Those are my two favorite Metallica songs of all time :)
Summer 87, I was 9 years old and my friend older brother give me this album on tape and say " listen that kid, it will change your life". He has right, I still metalhead since day and master of puppets still my favorite album ever.
This is so cool. The fact that you don't remember the whole album is a sign of the times. You had playlists and we had albums. It is great to listen to these records again with you.
Probably the best metal album of all time... Such a treasure chest of riffs and deep musics
Wanna know why i love your reactions, specially reactions of this album? Because this is exactly what i experienced in 1986, when a good friend of mine gave me this album and I listened to the first time. I was blown away. I'm now 52 years old and it still gives me goose bumbs. This is by far the album i listened the most from beginning to the end in my life. I can't count it
You were so lost when Orion came on I was lmao. Orion is one of my favorite on the album, I love how the lead guitar stands in for the vocals.
I'd loved to see you do a full playthrough of Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power
yeah he should def listen from cowboys to reinventing the steel. those 5 albums are my favs
Crazy good album, crazy good reaction 🔥
The song Master of Puppets is so f*cking real for an addict that has quit time and time again, only to be sucked back in when shit gets hard.
Bro, I love seeing your emotional connection to this stuff, it warms my metal heart!
There are very few 10/10 albums, but this is definitely one of them. This was Cliff's last album, he died a few months after this was released. The whispers on Damage Inc. are Cliff, and it's such an emotional component of the song and the album given his death. If you get a chance, check out any of their live performances of Orion and you can see who is performing which part of the song. Great video, Declan! Looking forward to the next album breakdown. Believe by Disturbed just had its 22nd birthday, and it's also a great album from a great American heavy metal band.
sign of a true music lover - tears, shivers down the spine, awe.
This was the album that got me into metal back in the late '90's, bloody brilliant!!!
Thanks for doing this reaction was great 👍🏻 to see you enjoying it have a blessed day bro 😎👊🏻💯
That was awesome! I haven’t listened to this album all the way through in like 30 years and this video was worth every second…bravo!
I think it's really tough to argue that this is anything but a perfect album. Every single song is incredible and the order and pacing of the album is just unreal. IMO this is Metallica's best album and is the best metal album of all time at least that I've heard of.
Bruh..the way you got emotional to "Master of puppets" I truly felt that!
That was deep!😎🤟🤘🤙✌️
Been a while listening to the whole album. LOVE IT! 15 year old me, first concert with Ozzy at the Long Beach arena in California. 😊❤
I look forward to seeing your reaction videos daily and get bummed when I don't see a new one. I know you have a life outside of this reaction world but wanted to give my praises to you on your channel. I have seen many reaction stations and yours is far above most.
Really happy to enjoy the album with you!!!!!!! Yes....lepper messiah is great!
Super video Mollyboy. So glad you went all out full album on this, when you listen to it like that you get to hear all the different styles that Metallica can bring in one album, beautiful melodies, solos, thrash, heck even some grungy down tuned songs and riffs, and this was all done a long time ago. You listen to James's lyrics, nobody was writing...no hang on...nobody IS writing lyrics like that now, and bands would kill to have songs that sound like that now. Nice to see emotion from you mate, that's what great music does to you, it's done it for me plenty of times. Keep up the great videos!
This was just pure awesomeness, the way you show your emotions for songs is amazing and I really hope you keep doing that! You should do more of these like for Ride the lightning or And justice for all, I really enjoyed the video thank you so much for these great videos🤘🤘
❤️❤️❤️ I just saw Metallica live for the first time a month ago. Fucking UNBELIEVABLE!!! If you get the chance you have to. It was so fucking loud and the crowd was so loud. I brought my 16 year old daughter. It was fucking emotional for me! When they played Master of Puppets….i can’t even EXPLAIN how that felt. Or Harvester of Sorrow and Blackened….i was listening to those songs when i was 13. It was pretty amazing to hear them live with my daughter and 70,000 other people. ❤️❤️❤️ They also played Orion, beautiful!
The intricacies of the bass in Orion 57:48 get me every time
This is so awesome. You truly love music man - watching you get emotional got me emotional too. Music is amazing. It’s so cool you found this band and resonated with them - brings me back to when I discovered them (it was this album too). once you’re in, you’re a lifer. Enjoy 🤘
So glad you are reacting to this album one of my favorites of Metallica....love the way you are such an old soul and are so open to try older bands enjoy the album love ya❤⚡🎸🎹🕺⚡🥁🎸🎵🎶🎵❗❗❗😊
I haven't listened to the whole album for over 25 years. Awesome. Love watching your reactions. Cheers.
You are not the only one who gets emotional or chills with these tunes. It is hard to describe, it just gets you so hyped up, it can be really emotional... but also the juxtaposition of the soft sections and melodies can get you sometimes too, like the melodic/solo section in Master of Puppets. I'm a guitarist myself and love this stuff and get emotional or chills from music in general, including really heavy stuff. Regarding thrash metal though there is still a lot of really great stuff out there along the lines of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer etc. Also IMO some really great speed metal and power metal too, with brilliant musicianship. I find those three genre of metal - thrash, speed and power, have a lot of bands that tend to blur the lines between each other.
I'm 80 and still head banging, granddaughter just shakes her head and walks away. Me? LMAO❤❤❤
Leper Messiah is definitely one of their best songs . But wait til Orion starts next. Great instrumental!!
Grew up on this album when I was younger than you are now, and it's one of the best albums ever. The production on it is BRILLIANT (especially in light of what they did to Justice). But your reaction to it was powerful sir. Music can move us to places we never thought we'd go. Rock on!
Thank you for loving & respecting the music I love
Heartfelt reacrion.thanks mate!
Well done!! Keep up the great work and keep the reactions coming!!!
Bro, I was literally 21 years ok when this came out. It is an unparalleled masterpiece. I had the chance to see them live in concert quite a few times in the 80s and 90s
Old*
I can't handle my tears when i hear a great solo too. It's such an amazing music genre!!!!
I was listing to this in highschool still do. Love you reactions man.
Molly Boy, I feel you!! Their music moves me to tears... ❤
I remember back in Highschool we had a classroom Planetarium. Instead of Sanitarium we would sing “Planetarium leave me be”etc in class. Lol
Whenever I want to go back to the days I’m finding myself watching your videos. Every Saturday night we would all go to Angie’s house. This album and and justice for all was playing full blast. Man! 50 friends all gathering in the greatest basement parties I can remember. Rock on my friend!
My brother and I are 10 years apart, and both were in tears experiencing this album for the first time. Love seeing this reaction.
What a rollercoaster! Love this album and appreciated your reaction to this! Merry Christmas to you and yours! My best idea saving this to experience today.
~FM :)
I was sent to a, "bad boy" home the year this came out. When I went there, everyone listened to different stuff. The day I left, every room was playing metallica.
One of Metallica’s songs that is my one time favourite and I highly recommend, its so beautiful. It’s called the day that never comes ❤
I was 14 at the end of the school year and this little stoner chick brought in this album and played Disposable Heroes in art class... I was enthralled... Was into hip hop, pop, r&b etc. before that, but this was life changing. They weren't on any mainstream stations or MTV yet, so most had never heard anything like thrash. Amazing time!
Cliff died on tour for this album and yes, that is his bass you hear at the beginning of Orion.
After 34 years of listening to this album for the first time, it still gives me goosebumps and makes me feel so emotional😭
A timeless masterpiece!
AJFA was my intro to ‘Tallica. Old enough to have bought the first 3 albums on tape, get them chewed up in the cr@ppy car tape player, buy them again, and record “car copies” to be played to destruction, then re-recorded!
I use to take a whole day and listen from Kill em All to the Black Album 🔥🤘🏽🔥
Lets get !!!!
You made my day MollyBoy. I only had 5 beers in me after work and had run out of reactions to watch whilst i wind down, and then i saw your reaction. Battery is one of the best starts to an album ever and i can't wait until you get to Damage Inc...i'll be on about beer 10 by then, and moving on to the bamboo schooners.
This was my first introduction to metal as well, I still remember it well. 1985 15yrs old. I listened to it over and over and over on cassette tape, and it still has not gotten old. Yeah, it's definitely in the top of the greatest albums ever.
