@@OriginalKingRichTv I don't think it t sounds like modern country at all. There's no rapping or auto tune in "mama tried". Plus Merle would beat the piss out of any of these "modern" country fools. Hank 3 is the only one out now with balls
I was just hanging out with a friend of mine who is a musician and big music listener but not much of a metal head. He said he heard Master of Puppets recently for the first time in years and then said "it's held up really well". That whole album has held up incredibly well and is still my favorite metal album of the 80's.
Surprised James is playing that guitar in the rain. It's a custom guitar made out of the wood from their garage that was torn down on 3132 Carlson Blvd where they lived and wrote Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets.
One time Cliff was asked what James says in the "fix me" part, and Cliff said "he says pancakes". So James said "PANCAKES, GO!" instead of fix me this time. Thus, Kirk saying "forgot about that". Love your content, dude. Keep it up.
@@ShredmasterScott my 5th time seeing them that night. '99, 03, 04, 06 in Dublin and 2019 in Manchester. We were gonna do Sláine here in Ireland but it clashed with a friend's wedding so we went to Manchester to see them around my bday. Good Times! Had a few more in the hotel bar afterwards, both the missus and I had sore heads afterwards. They were on point all night, the version of One is excellent.
Remember seeing that clip that summer and was inspired to go and see them again. Bought a last minute golden circle ticket for the show in Trondheim. I like Ghost as well who opened up for them so it was worth it 🤘😃🤘
Shred is honestly the perfect youtuber. Small ego, great advice, nice, helpful, funny, the whole package. Love ya man and keep doing what you’re doing🤘.
E minor, the bread and butter key of guitar players. I like a lot of Metallica songs, but "Creeping Death" is my favorite. Kick-ass song from beginning to end!
Love Metallica's "MoP", though my all time favorite is "The Four Horsemen" because it starts off almost...kinda lame...and more than a few times I've thought early in the song: "Why did I think this was so awesome? Have I outgrown this song..?" Then it slays me with what I feel is Kirk's best pentatonic ripping he ever did. "Eye of the Beholder" gets honorable mention. Keep up the evil awesomeness, Shred.
For me personally it's between "creeping death", "and justice for all" and of course "Master of puppets" and if I had to pick one, I would probably go for "Master of puppets". Everything about the song is incredible!🤘🤘
One is the best Metallica song. Has the best of both of their ballads and the fastest section of their thrash years. And of course Kirk's best solo imo
Fade to black will always be one of my favorite songs. Its got everything I love about Metallica in one song, deep lyrical meaning, great riffs and solos in all speeds.
Shred that reaction was hilarious thanks, but I was really hoping you would dig into analyzing the solo that Kirk does. Wondering if you could go back and re-prize that section of the song and really break it down for us? Love what you’re doing!
Yes! Thank you! I love these new posts you’ve been putting out. You could’ve simplified this one though and just said E chromatic. They hit all 12 western tones in the intro alone. Thanks Scott!
I know this is an old video but I only just found it. I was at this gig, Tuesday 18th June 2019, they were absolutely brilliant, and yes, it pissed it down with rain, but as James said, it's only water and it won't hurt you 😀
they are 50+ almost 60, still doing 2+ hour shows and they do it in this kind of weather. All songs are written composed and made entirely by the band members. Its a sad state of affairs when the top 10 songs on spotify all have like 4-7 songwriters and a million producers. There is almost zero artistic expression from the artist, they are just machines with good voices that sing a calculated algorithmic noise. Dont get me wrong, a lot of the top songs on spotify are good, but they contain very little artistic expression, they are constructed to be hits, to be popular.
Tie with Master and Blackened for me. Blackened was the first tune I heard from them and drew me to their stuff back in '88, so I think it has those 'member-berries for me.
Was at this very gig and me and my wife got totally soaked and enjoyed every minute! Papa het is truly one of the most charismatic frontman in recent decades and he makes you feel like one of the metallica family. Truly excellent. And One was fkin brilliant.
Ain’t nothin ever beating One. I absoloutely love One, it was one of the first tallica songs I heard and it’s stuck with me. I do agree it got some heavy competition (literally entire Ride the lightning) and what not
GREAT ANALYSIS. Loved listening to your reaction and comments. The song is indeed the Holy Grail of downpicking learning. I gave myself forearm tendonitis recently, thinking I was getting better at my downpicking practice, only to fall flat on my arse when I tried to keep up with the song! So, Ive gone back a few more beats on the metronome, and tried to emphasize more on the wrist when picking. Its like relearning it all again, but I want to get there so bad and play along to the song. Incidentally, this whole Manchester gig is fantastic. Really worth a watch online here. It utterly lacerates bullet raindrops for most of the gig and it looks so apocalyptic, under blackened rain skies. That stadium tour of Europe of '19 was excellent. And, I have to say that, for all the negative things about St. Anger , the songs "Frantic" and "St Anger" itself sounded massive and properly awesome on this tour. With the proper tones and snare (!), and some flutters of soloing, those songs got the justice and respect they deserved.
Top 10Metallica song 10-One 9-MoP 8-Blackened 7-The Unforgiven 6-Ride The Lighting 5-Nothing else matters 4-The Frayed Ends of Sanity 3-Wherever I May Roam 2-The Unnamed Feeling (bit controversial) 1-For Whom the Bell Tolls
you know that in some Master of Puppets live version James is saying instead of ''How I'm killing you'' he sings ''How I'm Fu*cking you''. lol Kinda like with the Tool live version of Jerk-off he also changes ''shoot'' to ''Fu*ck'' in the later live versions.
@@mg682 haha yeah I know. Well he changes also the ''I should play God, and Fuck you myself'' instead of the original ''And shoot you myself''. oh yeah I wish that too, I was born in 1989, so also too late. lol
Dude, I can only give you 3 best MetSongs of all time: "Frayed ends of sanity" "The thing that should not be" and, let the sh!storm begin: "Frantic" 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
I was introduced to metallica with the black album at 13 years old so I am not handicapped by that pre and post black album biased though I strongly agree the first five albums are the greatest. I find myself always returning to no leaf clover as my favorite overall song with Harvester of Sorrow a very strong second. The song I always get shit for putting on the "best" list is things that should not be which I think is just heavy greatness.
Oh boy, picking the best metallica song is not easy. Call of Ktulu is really epic. I view it as the ultimate Metallica song because it was co-written by Dave and Cliff.
Shredmaster, have you ever done analysis like this on the music of Death? There's a lot of modal interchange in those that I think deserves analysis on your videos. Chuck was a genius.
I’m from Manchester and can’t remember why but I couldn’t make this gig, my mates went and all had the sickest time and it’s one of my life regrets that I didn’t go
I'd say Master Of Puppets is right up there, but also Battery is classic. That whole album really. Also can you cover Judas Priest's Victim of Changes?
This song is about drug addiction and the addict trying to break free. Listening to that breakdown does sound it represents the user is getting high. Beautiful euphoric moment until it’s over
I don't know which is their "best" song, but on most given days my favorite is probably Creeping Death. This might alternate with Four Horsemen, Disposable Heroes, One and even Master, despite the fact I am burnt on that one. By the way, I noticed a more liquid tone In the guitars while playing in the rain.
This performance gives me hope that there are artists out there that truly care about their craft and will do anything to bring it to us at maximum velocity.
I would say either master of puppets or creeping death. Both songs are so good on the album and they have so much energy every single time the songs are played live.
You should do one of these breakdowns for a Dethklok song. No joke, I'm totally serious. I saw them co-headline with Mastodon and with High on Fire opening at the Hammerstein Ballroom and it was one of the best shows of my life.
Love these music theory videos of yours Shred. Would love to see you do one on Air by Jason Becker since I've noticed how much you're also into classical and specifically counterpoint like so many Bach pieces and Air is loaded with counterpoint melody.
Fade to Black, Call of Kthulu IMO. Ride the Lightning was when they were still so raw, but really starting to find their songwriting. Will always be my favorite album.

E minor, the bread and butter key of guitar players. I like a lot of Metallica songs, but "Creeping Death" is my favorite. Kick-ass song from beginning to end!
E minor FTW
Creeping death master of puppets and blackened imgine the played that all on one setlìst in Seattle 89 much rather the other 2 hours of other songs
same, if im picking a metallica song to listen to its creeping death
Creeping Death.
E minor... one might call it "basic"
Master and Orion are a tie for the best Metallica song.
The Call of Ktulu is a high contender as well
Disposable heroes with the harmonics is pretty unique for a metal song at the time
Musically Orion. But I thought lyrically Enter Sandman featured on that COD commercial was badass.
@@OriginalKingRichTv Agreed.
Blackened

"The thing that should not be"

"Frantic"
🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
I love "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" - Pure Cliff goodness.
"One" is f'n solid, and had a great, hellish, trapped-in-broken-body video, too.
"Testicular Fortitude" sounds like a band name, or an album title at the very least
I was introduced to metallica with the black album at 13 years old so I am not handicapped by that pre and post black album biased though I strongly agree the first five albums are the greatest. I find myself always returning to no leaf clover as my favorite overall song with Harvester of Sorrow a very strong second. The song I always get shit for putting on the "best" list is things that should not be which I think is just heavy greatness.
Always thought that harmony section 4:45 - is diminished scale.. and my fav song is "The thing that should not be" hell yeah!
"Battery" is my all-time favourite Metallica tune.
Master of puppets, One, and Unforgiven are tied for first on my list.
@Lachlan McNeill Thats #4 and Nothing Else Matters is #5 (at least for me)
Oh boy, picking the best metallica song is not easy.
Call of Ktulu is really epic. I view it as the ultimate Metallica song because it was co-written by Dave and Cliff.
What about ride the lightning since it has riffs from everyone else as well? (Even lars)
Shredmaster, have you ever done analysis like this on the music of Death? There's a lot of modal interchange in those that I think deserves analysis on your videos. Chuck was a genius.
My favourite Metallica song is Damage Inc.
It's not the most complicated Metallica song, but it's fast and the riffs kick ass.
If Hetfield watched this video he'd say "Ye-heah!"

I would say either master of puppets or creeping death. Both songs are so good on the album and they have so much energy every single time the songs are played live.
Fun fact of James guitar is that the wood was built from an old garage they wrote master of Puppets in and the inlays are a dedication to cliff.

The topwood of Het´s Explorer is taken from their first rehersal room´s wall. It even has a nail in it. Thats why it looks so rough.
Fade to Black, Call of Kthulu IMO. Ride the Lightning was when they were still so raw, but really starting to find their songwriting. Will always be my favorite album.
you should do a theory breakdown on a Symphony X. I personally recommend Inferno (Unleash the fire) but any of their songs are worth the breakdown
