CAN WE AVOID IT? 🎵 Metallica Blackened Reaction 

No less than Stewart Copeland himself referred to Wagner as the Metallica of opera. So I am all on board with that sentiment.

For sure. Even know you can play Apocalyptica's 4 cello covers of Metallica and people who've never listened to Metallica will think it's classical music.

*Even now* --Damned predictive text & autocorrect.

Interesting

XDD yesss. They'd be playing and dressing like Yngwie Malmsteen

That blackened storm is gonna color your world blackened bro, be careful lmao

@@Hieraldrich truth

mine was actually in 13th row, tripping.

I have memories of this song from the early 90’s riding around in my buddies 79 Camaro…

I have a similar memory but with the song “Twilight of the Thundergod” by Amon Amarth.

is about man destroying mother earth, nuclear war, pollution, exploiting the world till it is black while we all dance till we are gone leaving nothing in our wake.

@@randyreynolds4252 What Randy said. It's not just about nuclear warfare. It's about destroying mother earth in general.

We all had our breath held...

Lex seems to be right most of the time when reacting to metal. The guy not so much.

@@roberthampton730 It is ok though I like both perspectives, if we were keeping track Lex figures it out i think 90 percent? Im guessing but master of puppets, she is like DRUGS in the first 30 seconds or something, she always gets it, why this channel is amazing. She even gets the timing riff in the beginning without knowing guitar theory and that riff is some heavy timing right hand pyrotechnic stuff. She is a born metalhead...Look at that fucking smile =) \m/ She even snarls at the right places in the riffs, lol the places as a performer we would snarl

Its interesting you point that out. I thought the same thing. I think it might be a rap thing. I mean I’m not into rap but from what I’ve listened to, the lyrics have a very literal and direct message and the art is really the flow and how they bend and fit words into the music and rhythm. Metal on the other hand is really about singing very clever shit in a very loud and incoherent manner. It’s very thought provoking and usually has more to it than what it seems (obviously not always the case). It’s just different worlds and different styles. Both are awesome. Metal is a lot to take in and I think Lex just vibes on it more which makes it easier to soak it all in and get it. Of course I could be miles wrong about the hip hop comment and i know there would be some extremely clever rap music too, but that’s my view anyway.

@@christosgazaris1158 You both are wrong about Brad. He gets most of the songs. Sometimes he gets fixated, he actually stated that it was about the end of the world. He has liked Metallica before and has liked other metal bands. Hell, he loves Pantera. And all my love to Lex, but she rarely gets what the song is about because she is TOO into the song. Mix them together and you get your average metalhead.

And yet he couldn’t resist the headbang

@@christosgazaris1158 Both are big on similes. Rap uses "like" a lot to directly point out their similes. "I'm slamming niggas like Shaquille, shit is real", "Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west , A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness", etc. Metal uses similes too but also are heavily prone to metaphors and personification. They sing lyrics from the point of view of not just objects but ideals and concepts. They sing from the point of view of nuclear weapons "Some people risk to employ me , Some people live to destroy me", war "Soldier boy, made of clay , Now an empty shell , Twenty one, only son, But he served us well", deities and devils, serial killers, and even evil itself.

I mean all that shows is we each perceive music differently and that's the whole magic of it.

At least hes not pretending that he immediatly is a fan and makes stupid ass faces for the sake of views

I don't get why they always try to figure out they lyrics. I never really cared about the lyrics in Metallica songs. I always liked the instrumentation.

@@taylorriccelli4062 Definately check out the lyrics, James is not only a beast of Downpicking, but also a beast of writing a hard, gut punching lyrics

He's too deep into the lyrics while Lex is just feeling the music

@@Randomeris1 I'm a guitar player, so when I listen to Metal, I just get into the guitar riffs and drums. I never try to decipher the lyrics, I just jam out to the music. Seems like it takes away from the music trying to do that.

Yup…..You beat me to it.

Always haha

i was going to say all these years I never thought it was about smoking. Then again this is the first time I noticed the word nicotine was in the lyrics. lol

@@TheDeadStretch I never noticed it either. It kind of shook me a little bit 😆

Nicotine sulphate is a pesticide that in large does kill even humans. I always thought that's what he meant.

Except the “Newsteding” of the bass in the mix

Absolutely

Totally agree. Not a bad song. I miss those days. 😔

@@jon-pauldupont5746 the remasters have a better mix so its aight 😄 imo it is their best project for sure

Darmok, his eyes closed...

I’m glad people pointed this out. When he started talking about it, I just skipped ahead.

@@dmanimousprime3858 Ah, a man of culture! 🖖😀

@@dmanimousprime3858 Metallica at Tanagra, Live 2455

Was thinking the same thing. He often thinks too concretely, literally and not abstractly, metaphorically when it comes to lyrics. And, he cracks me up when he chuckles at Lex's takes and more often than not, she's right.

I just can't watch Lex jam out without smiling...not that I want to.

You could see co2 as the nicotine destroying the atmosphere(air/lungs) and creating the greenhouse effect (heat), burning the surface to a crisp and us with it.

Maybe, nobody in Metallica ever said that

@@reekoor You're onto it. This song is about environmental collapse. Everything just burnt out

@@neilpatrickhairless after a nuclear Holocaust…

this

Agreed. Was my favorite of theirs. Loved harvester of sorrow.

Best song on the album

that drumfill at the middle part is eargasm

METALLICAS MASTERPIECE along with the rtest of the big 4. they all released masterpieces at the same time. hard to beat MEGADETH RUST IN PEACE. I WANNA SEE SOME ANTHRAX. CRY FOR THE INDIANS? BELLY OF THE BEAST? CMON BRAD.....THERES PLENTY OF MESSAGES FOR U. AND THE MUSIC WILL GRAB LEX

Frey ends is another bad azz one that folks forget about as is dyers eve

Me too i love eye of the beholder

My favourite album too. I love Dyer’s Eve.

Personally master of puppets is my favorite but i love this album. Just wish there was more bass

On its release it was fans least favorite. Not to mention there was no bass on it, and they were considering them sellouts for final releasing video.

@@dougventura4991 “Fans” least favorite? I already mentioned that this album added me as a fan. This album has sold 15 million copies. 2nd only to the Black album which sold 30 million copies.

Fr bro, my marathon is now running for like over 3h and i can't stop lol

im watching their channel for 6 hours... with a little brake. i gues im going to eat tomarrow

Fuckin’ KILLER fill 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

AGREED!!! 100%

In search of another, new world to destroy...

It's sad but true.

HAHA, and OH, you want FAST Metallica???? Listen to Dyers Eve, from And Justice For All album ;) They can't hardly play it (but always tease :P ) in concert. Many think it was "sped up" in production ;)

I cnt read a wrd ur sying u may hve to get atocrrect or smthin

Best Metallica song ever written.

Lars once said it was his most hated Metallica song, "the time scales are off" he said......

Same

Umm no. .. And Justice For All was a very political album and this song was about M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) theory between the US and Russia. What the world would look like after nuclear fallout

@@malcolmwilkins3365 uhmm yes it does it is part of the song. Deforestation is very much part of what this song is about and yes m.a.d. is part of it but he was wondering what does nicotine have to do with the end of the world which = deforestation.

@@stonemills1546 Nicotine gives cancer (well technically cigarettes which contains nicotine) and so does radiation from a nuke, they kill everything and what also might have been

@@stonemills1546 Just look it up, you never specified that you were talking about that part of the song

@@malcolmwilkins3365 👍

A thing you two have to remember is the context of the cold war when you react to music from the 80's/90's. We had been living under the threat of global extinction for almost 50 years at that time, it was starting to wear on people.

@@JonnyPhive Yes exactly, I know it was a large part of my life growing up. We actually expected the missiles to fly at anytime, and since I lived close to an Air Force Base, all I expected to see was a brief flash of light, then oblivion.

@@kenklein4783 I remember doing a duck and cover drill in first grade and getting sent to the hall for asking how my desk was supposed to protect me from the biggest bomb there was. I mean I was 5 I barely understood the concept, but I knew a nuke was the scariest bomb there was from movie they made us watch, And my desk seemed poor protection.

Stop it!!! 😂😂😂

Swaying when he should be rockin!!

They were definitely thrashy lol.. that solo is cool as shit, and yeah the reversed intro is one if the most memorable sounds to me off of AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. 👍

That must have been awesome!

Lucky

This is my dream, it is a mood.

Facts. I love it. Cause she's really banging.
