- This may have been one of my favorite songs to listen to so far. I know that I do not have much to compare it to but I really enjoyed this one. The journey is early but is fun and can not wait to see what the future holds!
ACTUALLY BRUH WE WILL LISTEN TO METALLICA FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES!
hell yeah that is nice to know
@@iamzacreact9128 Your interpretation of the verses is perfect. Drug, victim, drug.
Agreed, you experience the music.
The best anti-drug song of all time!
.....with "White Lines" by Grand Master Flash following up in second place.
That Smell by Skynyrd needs to be in there somewhere.
@@BlackSmokeDMax I keep forgetting that's an anti-drug song as well. Let's see how many more we can come up with.....
@@VadersRage Lacquer Head by Primus
@@lucaseda5389 Would "Sober" by Tool count? It comes close.....
Any metal fan will stick around for a long reaction to an intricately crafted masterpiece of a track like this, so no worries about reaction length.
This!
He's right, you know.
Absofreakinlutely
Paster of muppets hahaha what a name
This is the song that turned me into a metal head 40 years ago. One of the best the genre has to offer. Kudos - you picked up on the theme right away - many people don’t realize it’s drugs until the second verse “chop your breakfast on a mirror”. The beautiful interlude in the middle represents our poor junkie getting a fix - for a short time all is right with the world, but all too soon the call of the master pulls him back into the excruciating search for relief again. Another great example of how the music can paint the emotional landscape of the song.
IMHO - don’t worry about pausing. If you wait to comment until the end, you’ll probably forget half of what you wanted to say. If you need to get back into the groove after pausing, just back it up5 or 10 seconds. I’d rather hear what you feel about it in the moment. Also, don’t worry about length. The people who love these songs know some of them get long. Cheers!
I literally agree with every word you said. When it comes to bands and songs I love I never care how long it is. I do love seeing those who haven't heard it take a true honest listen and see it awaken the inner metal head in them lol. It's so fun.
Metallica didn't exist 40 years ago nor did this album lol it was 1980 that long ago lol
@@angelvargas9245 37... 40... who cares? 1983. kill em all... and this album 1986... that's 34. Is OK now?
@@angelvargas9245 The band was formed in 1981 so yea 39 years...
@@angelvargas9245 Uh yeah, they've been killing it for four decades now.,...
Cliff burton on bass he was the MASTER!!!! RIP Cliff
THE GODS....THE GOATS......The Masters of transistions and switch-ups.....always an epiphany to listen to Metallica 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
I am really loving it
I highly recommend Orion. Its from the same album. Its an instrumental, no lyrics...the way you mentioned how the music itself takes you on a journey is really the best thing (IMO) about Metallica from that era. They weren't constrained by making a 3 minute single for radio.

6:48 that part resembles using the drugs. it goes mellow, and than comes out of that asking for more
I would like you to react to Welcome Home (Sanitarium) from this same album.
Any song from this album!
My favorite Metallica song despite my last name lol (Sandman)
05:18 "Chop your breakfast on a mirror" ... Cocaine
the real Metal heads Metallica fan that we are - we'd listed for 3 hours! Their live shows were epic! Your understanding was perfect. The middle (bridge) with the melodic interlude was the "high" feeling contentment then builds back up to anger and aggression needs another fix.
Never apologize for stopping the music. Your reaction, your feelings, your thoughts, are why we are watching this video. If people want to hear the song uninterrupted, there are other videos on RUclips for that.
And you are banging your head. That's an indication of a fan and a perfectly proper response to heavy metal music. Let those dreds fly!
You should watch them play this live in Seattle 1989, This song and album was released in 1986.
The masters of metal. Metallica 🤘🏻🔥
At 6:45 or so is when the heroin/drug of choice actually hits you, the calming effect of some drugs. That warm feeling a heroin hit gives you comes to my mind.
For someone not familiar with the genre, that was a very intelligent and good take on both the music and the message. Hope you enjoyed it.
Even the music change up in this song echo the addiction from the pull to get high to crash at the end
I like seeing different cultures dive into each others music. I hung out with a crazy crew back in my early years ( 80's -90's ) Black kids, white kids, Hispanic. skaters, punks, jocks, nerds, drug dealers. We would be blasting punk and metal, Bad Brains and Sick Of it All, then switching to NWA and Cypress hill. Our parties were no joke. And when we all rolled into other parties it was the needle scathing on the record.
This song is about drug addiction. Metallica is spot on! I am so glad to hear your voice about this song. Unless you are an addict you may never know the pain of this song. I am an alcoholic fighting to stay sober...and that guitar solo you are hearing is the high an addict feels....ty you for sharing..Metallica is one of my most favorite bands of all time cuz they played music that mattered! Btw James Hetfield is fighting for sobriety to this very day.
If you are worried about reactions and song lengths.. there are fans of RUSH that will listen to the entire '2112' song/reaction.. which the song itself (comprised of 7 song segments) is 20:33 in length. An 8 minute song is a breeze.
METALLICA bro can never ever take too long, reactions are great will be here till the end 🤘🔥🔥
This song was used to make the M1E1 Track for the original DOOM game.
The first level starts with this.
haha you got that bass pumping! That plus good mids and you'll feel what makes metal great. It's music to be FELT, as in physically. Loud double bass just hammering your chest.
Two songs worth checking from this album: Welcome Home (Sanitarium) & Orion’s Belt (instrumental). Both of those tracks, Battery, Disposable Heroes, The Thing That Should Not Be (H.P. Lovecraft influenced), and this track (album track) really sold the album.
Please... never apologize for taking so long to react to a song like this. It's a masterpiece. In fact... the first 4 albums are masterpieces in their own right. One thing to note... is this is the 3rd album by a bunch of kids. Cliff Burton was the oldest member of the band when this was released in 1986, and he was only 24. That's amazing. Please enjoy your journey. Rock on!
You are on point with your reaction. I’m glad you got the message and loved it.
I just like the grear music of this super song. The melody of the song, the tempo, the feeling, the crisp sound of the musical instruments and the superb recording are so entertaining to me. Makes addicted to listen to most of Metallica songs. Such an artistic musical heavy metal band...👏👏👏👍👍👍
Overanalysing sometimes screws you over.
Sometimes the message is just right there, and you caught it right away.
The very serene interlude in the middle is symbolizing the High and then it gradually grows darker again as the effect wears of and the withdrawal kicks in.
The song is actually deeper on an instrumental level than lyric wise.
It's quite brilliant.
We love watching new people discover and love the soundtrack of our formative years. If you think this is awesome now, "you should have been there." When this album came out, we straight up. Lost. Our. Shit!
It is about drugs, but more than that it's about addictions in general and how one becomes the puppet and it becomes their master. The perspective of the song isn't about doing drugs or promoting it, in fact, it's quite the opposite. It's a message to warn others what will become of you if you go down that road. It's an anti-drug song! When they wrote this song, it pertains to their struggles when they were younger and what they've experienced. They cleaned themselves up early on before it became too late for them and this song is a resulting product of that. It's a classic and a masterpiece!
BTW, you'll not see too many more comments from me going forward, but I enjoy your straight forward approach and your complete honesty.
I am now subscribed. 😎
You’re absolutely right the song was about drug addiction Metallica songs are usually very poetic meaning or deep meaning it’s always fun to sit there and research where their inspiration for the song comes from
God, I wish I could have virgin Metallica ears again 😫 lol I saw them live again in March 2019 & it's still like nothing else on earth😊❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼 /m\ #MFF edit: I would strongly suggest "One" "Disposable Heroes" and "Creeping Death"
The soft, soothing part of the track represents the high from the drug fix the addict achieved.
What's up brother! Good luck on your new channel my man 🤘 Any youtube questions you have ill help you out 🤘
thank you! I appreciate that
@@iamzacreact9128 First tip id give you brother is put that copyright act in your description all the reactors do it
Metal songs can be 10+ minutes and the fans will still listen. Metalheads are music lovers in general and most will listen through a majority of the time.
Congrats for picking the meaning of the song so quickly.
Heh, personally, I suck at picking up the meaning of lyrics.
Good reaction. We enjoy listening with you. Metallica and Tool are favorite bands. They are each top notch performers with messages in their music I would suggest pretty much anything from either of them. If I may caution you, if you start down the path of Tool, try to get the lyric videos before their official videos, especially at first, as the official videos can be a bit distracting from the songs where there is so much going on already. Thanks for the reaction and hope you enjoy this epic journey.
New Sub. Really enjoyed the reaction. Metallica just did a second concert with the San Fransisco orchestra called S&M. Would love to see a reaction to “No Leaf Clover” from the original S&M concert. Seeing them with an orchestra , is pretty dope.
Check “Bleed Me”, one of their most underrated songs, but it’s understandable with so many other great tunes.
As I'm sure others pointed out, the first section is fast and hard and the lyrics are from the point of view of the drug.
Then the music slows down and the lyrics are from the point of view of the druggie. This represents the druggie calming down because he got a fix. Then the drug wears off, and the music speeds up again, and we once again hear the lyrics from the point of view of the drug.
Anyway, when they record albums, lead guitarist Kirk Hammet only comes in to record the guitar solos. Every other guitar you hear is rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. That's why the guitars sound so tight and precise. If you have any musical background that involved performing in a group, you can probably tell that the rhythm guitar is laying down the beat, and the drums are following. I don't know of any other rock band that works that way.
We stick around for a good metallica reaction mate. Don't worry about length at all. MoP is in my opinion the greatest metal song of all time. I heard this as a young boy and have been into metallica ever since.
Welcome to the world of Metallica: It's nice to see a new potential Metalhead!
Better to cut and speak your thoughts before you forget them :) Loved your reaction and thoughts on the song. It's not just the lyrics that tell the story but the music does also. I'm a big fan of music that does that. Pink Floyd being a prime example.
You are right the song is about how drugs controls peoples minds and how you are always wanting more. The master is the drug and people on the drugs are the puppets. As for the solo it represent as being slow you got the drug and you are high and relaxed when the solo speeds fast it you coming off the drug high and you need more of the drugs. And also how drugs destroy your dreams and your life.
This song is about drugs. It is told from the perspective of the drug. The drug is the master and the addict is the puppet. The point in the song where it mellows out represents the high from the drug. After the high comes the inevitable hard landing crash. That's where the tempo and the tone get harsher. And the evil laugh is the drug laughing at the addict.
Metallica and Tool fans will stay through the whole song, trust me. We grew up on these and just want to share the magic with reactors along the way.
I've probably heard this song start-finish a few thousand times, and I have no problem doing it again just to see what someone else takes from it.
One of the things Metallica manages to pull off... it's *incredibly* hard to overplay most of their work. The songs just don't get old. I'm sure you could do it if you tried, but it would take MoP on repeat for an hour or two to temporarily burn it out.
It was the first album I ever bought. It doesn’t work anymore because of how much I listened to it, but I still have it. That was 23 years ago.
Black Sabbath is that for me. Just Master Of Reality and Sabotage on repeat.
Fun fact, if you play at dooms gate together with master of puppets, they somehow work together
ALWAYS IN FULL MY BROTHER....
Yep you got it......& yes the music is beautiful.....When metal bands “catch lightning in a bottle” & those guitarists (with the bass & drums of course) create the “perfect” riffs & solos for that song ? It is indeed “music to your ears”
5:41 "I've never in my life had a drug problem," as he suspiciously rubs his nose and subsequently sneezes.
Ahhh you got me. It was def the coke 😂
The music is part of the story. The change in the middle is the druggie getting the high....then the rage that keeps building to get their next fix. "Fix ME!" Looking for the drug to fix them. Then the drug betrays......the victim is in a 'neverending maze'. Then, of course, at the end, the drug betrays the person completely, ending their life. I am enjoying the channel. Loving the Metallica, the Zeppelin....all the great stuff. Walk by Pantera, or Cemetary Gates would be good. You've done a bit of Metallica, but And Justice for All or Eye of the Beholder from the And Justice For All Album would serve you well. Keep it up...you gained a subscriber.
Nice analysis Zac! I love watching people with open minds listen to new music. There is so much good music in the world, and we just have to open our minds to appreciate it all. Metallica are top of the pile, and they are there for a reason.
Dude, u did an amazing job. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! I am doing my best!
You‘ve got a new sub because of your Metallica reactions 🤘
great reacion, tnx. i always pictured the beautiful guitar as a high from drugs, and the brutal guitars just after is reality setting in...
Good take. I don't even like metal. I admire the instrumental skill of good metal bands as it tends to be amazing. This song, though, is just a cut above. Its a masterpiece of the rock genre, not just heavy metal. I think its a top 5 song all time easily.
Edit...yes drugs absolutely, but it also applies to a social view. The strong prey on the weak and laugh about it. That's society.
Bro. I'm dying. You gotta see what I see. No one could write this good. This video had the hand of God on it. Here we go.
4:20 foreshadowing and meta foreshadowing with the time stamp. Then the vigorous nose rub.
5:17
5:29 got the same vibes...sniffle
Punchline at 5:42
Good reaction. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your channel.
Tips... when listening or reacting to metal NEVER PAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SOLO...LIKE EVER NEVER EVER LOL this will save your comment section from being filled with people telling you bruh never do that lol
Good reaction keep going with it. Check out Metallica Enter Sandman live in Moscow and see the following this band has. Also if you listen to the flow of the music in this song it's like needing a fix ( fast and hard) finding a fix
(Slow and melodic) then needing another fix (fast again).
This song is also GREAT workout music!
Hey Zac
so the whole Master of Puppets album is about one of the band members dealing with drugs and what happens to you when you are doing drugs . If you think the parts without singing can be good try out Orion by Metallica a 8and a half minute track
The cat part made me laugh so hard xD
Don't worry about song length. If you continue this journey there are some bands and songs that will exceed this in length that are totally worth experiencing.
Afew great songs to react to... ONE.. DYERS EVE.... UNFORGIVEN 3.... SAD BUT TRUE... There are heaps of great metallica songs im sure you will enjoy the ride🤟
Get some headphones Zac! Then you can do live versions of the Metallica's songs you just reacted to ;-)
I will def have to go make a purchase. I have been needing new ones anyways and this just give a better reason to do it
You beat me to the punch. Listening to Metallica with quality headphones is an absolute MUST!! There’s so many nuances you miss just thru desktop or floor standing speakers. If you do get headphones then come back and listen to these songs again even if it’s just for yourself.
agreed, headphones will be a diff experience w/Metallica. you feel the music everywhere 😊
@@iamzacreact9128 - Excellent. LIVE at a concert is even better then the music just pummels and embraces your body. Amazing experience. Metallica ALWAYS kills it live.
If he has not listened to it yet you should check out Metallica's song Orion
It's an instrumental. Another instrumental that they do is the call of ktulu
By the way, if you ever check out Black Sabbath (the first metal band) make your first video "War Pigs Live in Paris 1970."
Or really, any song from that concert.
Enjoyed the reaction!
Addiction... it’s gambling, drugs, or whatever. Also check out live performances to get an idea of their energy.
Chop your breakfast on a mirror, think about that cocaine and crystal meth. I particularly can relate to that line because when I was in my late teens and early twenties I had a crystal meth problem and I snorted it off of mirrors like people do cocaine
Welcome to metal my friend
There are too many subgenre to just learn of the bat. Some genres are really easy to pin down, like symphonic metal or power metal and others are very ambiguous, especially if they're mixing genres.
Neo-metal (or Nu-metal for muricans) is a jungle as it containes almost any metal that's crossed with another style of music, probably the best known bands in this genre Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park, obviously mixing Rap/Hip-hop into their metal tracks.
You automatically learn to distinguish between nuances and criteria with time, it's no use to try and force it.
Calling it rock/metal is a good frame to work from as it's the two *Core* genres.
If you wanna be specific, Metallica is Heavy Metal or Trash Metal, one of the most common forms or metal during the 90s and early 00s but if you just call Metallica "metal", no one would say you're wrong.
"Chop your breakfast on a mirror". That should be the clear giveaway that yes, this is about drugs.
You won't stick around for 18 minute songs?
The Nightwish Army challenges you. 🤣
The check list is
Ghost Love Score (about 10min)
Poet and the pendulum (about 14min)
The Greatest Show on Earth (about 20min)
These songs are almost always and by far *the* most viewed, liked and shared videos on any given reaction channel.
you nailed it
You have to do these songs in full my man
Metallica has so many great songs
I clicked because of Metallica.. I stay because i enjoy your take 😀 And yes this is an Anti drug song.. Taken from the drugs perpestive.
Stick with it, they're great.
Shortest straw is one of the least known Metallica songs but great, give it a listen 👂
Dont worry we will listen too the full song. Their long songs feel like 30 secs.
Check out Megadeth singer/guitar player is Dave Mustaine used to be the guitar player for Metallica years ago🔥🔥
Holy wars. Punishment due🔥
Tornado of souls. 🔥
Hanger 18.🔥
Another band to check out is..
Judas Priest... 🔥🔥🔥
Painkiller🔥
You got another thing coming🔥
Electric eye🔥
You're doing it right out of the gate. Not talking while the music is playing. Pausing to reflect and avoid copyright. It's also annoying when people do the former but not the latter, and then end the video xD Just press the left arrow key once or twice to refresh the momentum of where you got to.before you paused.
If you’d like to hear a really long and beautiful rock song that carries you along, check out “Come Crimson Death” by Jess and the Ancient Ones.
Yes, it's about how drugs can take over and destroy you.
liked and subscribed🤘🤘🤘
Hi Zac. Metallica is thrash metal. Some of their earlier stuff nears speed metal.
It's rock and roll dude. That's all!
5:40 well you do now and it's MetallicA!
Metallica - the masters of the transition.
If you like going on journeys through music, bands like Gojira and Meshuggah will deliver, as will Megadeth, Pantera, Deftones, Parkway Drive, TesseracT, Cloudkicker, etc.
You seem to be very astute in your interpretations.
Old Metallica is legendary Metallica.
Everyone sticks around for ALL of a Metallica song. I promise.
Very, very, VERY few have an issue with it.
YOU won't have an issue with it either.
My prediction.
NOTE: I'm writing this BEFORE you start the song.
RESULT: Boom! I was right. And so are you. You caught on very early on that it's an anti-drug song.
Kind of like me trying to differentiate the difference between Rap and Hip-Hop?
Check out Iron Maiden you will not be disappointed, up the irons.
Want long? Take the tool journey
try Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken
Heavy Metal
