First Time Hearing Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls Reaction - ONE OF OUR FAVORITE METAL SONGS?! 

quite possibly one of the greatest intros to a song.. it just hooks you in

Y'all have to check out "Fade to Black" and "Ride the Lightning" next off this album as well. However, this entire album is excellent. Can't go wrong with any track. \m/

R.I.P Cliff Burton, he was a master of the bass.

Song's based on the novel by the same name by Ernest Hemingway and it's about an American fighting on the side of the rebels during the Spanish Civil War.

It's amazing that the beginning riff is bass. Cliff was a killer.

You would absolutely love their songs "Creeping Death" and "Welcome home, Sanitarium" too. Both molten fire!! 🌋🔥

Best band of all time imo. They were put on this earth to play music

This is definitely one of Metallica’s heaviest songs. So badass. Ride the Lightning is such a great album.

I recommend Battery by Metallica. Killer guitar solo, and very fast paced.😊

It was always funny that the know-nothing talking heads back in the day said Metallica was soo bad for kids, meanwhile for those that bothered to listen to the songs realized these guys were teaching better lessons than most in schools in that they told of the dangers of drugs, being pro-wars, and authority.

Got to love the dirty gritty in your face to this song . Next Metallica try there Fade To Black. Awesome lead guitar 🎸🎼🎵🎶🤘

Every time I hear this I want to watch Zombieland again (this is the title song for that movie), maybe I've watched it too many times 😄🤘

Saw this performed live yesterday. Let me tell you - the entire stadium just exploded. It was phenomenal. 200/10 gold stars

I think it’d be worth your while to react to some of Cliff Burton’s live bass performances, especially his live instrumental called Anesthesia from Metallica’s first album “Kill ‘Em All.” Truly one of the best and most iconic bassists imo, RIP Cliff ✊🏻

You should hear them play it now at almost 60 !!!!!!

I learned decades ago this is a song I cannot listen to while driving....keeps me from weaving in an out of traffic at 100 mph while playing air drums off my steering wheel! PS. Check out the source material for this song, the poem by the same name by Donne. Its classic literature...about war.

Great tune. I Always turn up the radio when this comes on.. Love the channel and reactions.

Ride the Lightning.....best Metallica album! Every song is superb.

Something about Metallica...their songs are super layered, like how an orchestra is. Rhythm guitar isn't just one play through. They play it, then play it again with the recording, and sometimes even again, just so it has that "full" sound. Seen them three times since 1989. Fsking awesome

"Welcome Home Sanitarium" "Fade To Black" are MUST listen to Metallica songs🤘😎

Try using this for 'sexy time"....changes the entire game!

This is my favorite Metallica album. You'll like the rest of this album Phil.

Do the 1985 live version in Oakland, awesome performance by the band, especially Cliff Burton (RIP)

Through the years this intro only evolved in live versions. The way they play it now is even better.

I'll never forget using this song as my entry song as a closer in high school. We played our rival and after the game, the opposing coach told me "I knew we were f***** when I heard the bells." Best compliment I've ever received

Ride The Lightning > Master of Puppets.. fight me

The song was inspired by the writing of Ernest Hemingway about war... the expression 'For whom the bell tolls...' was by 16th century English poet John Donne: "For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee" 🎸🔔 The opening riff was actually played by (late) bassist Cliff Burton - he used a distortion pedal to make the bass sound like a lead guitar... it was what made him a phenomenal bassist and musician (He was only 24 when he passed away in 1986 in a tour bus accident)... Metallica would feature him on a bass solo in their concerts, where he would RIP 🔥on stage (His bass solo was filmed a few times... featured as the track 'Pulling teeth' on the first album "Kill 'em all")

Growing up in the 60's and 70's heavy metal was not my go to genre although there were certain songs I liked. In the last couple years though I started listening to Metallica after hearing Nothing Else Matters (which is now my favorite song in any genre). So surprised at 63 to find that I love Metallica and now I'm open to discovering other heavy metal bands.

There is a reason why Metallica was the first of the Big Four of thrash metal, and why they are one of only two still going. There is more to their lyrics and compositions than most people realize. This song specifically, is referencing the poem of the same name by John Donne, and the novel by Ernest Hemingway.

Absolute Classic From Metallica This Whole Album Ride The Lightning Is a Masterpiece.

It's unbelievable, but Metallica has been playing this song at almost every concert for over 20 years. They play an average of 100 concerts a year (formerly 150, today 50 per year). I've heard it live 6 times and I still get chills when you guys play it.

awesome! happy to hear your reaction to one of the best metallica songs...and one of the very best bass intros in rock! 🙂

The enjoyment of a song can't possibly be this way. I would NEVER want to stop this song to make a comment on how I feel 🤦‍♂

Really appreciate both the reactions and effort to really listen to the music. You guy's are so great at this. Big fan.

They play the intro to this song at sporting events all the time. NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, at some point during a game, you're going to hear the intro to FWTBT. Or at least that's been my experience attending games from those leagues here in NYC.

You guys have come so far, pulling it back to ramp up that first solo( which is a bass solo btw) is a true metalhead move

Live version, "The day that never comes" in France. Crazy good!

Same Album.... Fade to Black, a song that saved many of us and of course guitars that'll make the hair on your arms levitate...

For Whom the Bell Tolls. It tolls for thee.

“Ladies and gentlemen “ salvia. Give it a shot !

Listen to the beginning again. That guitar you hear is actually Cliff Burton on the bass.

“Somebody should this as an intro for UFC or Boxing” Triple H did at WrestleMania some years ago and it HIT HARD

In my personal favorite top 10 songs to drum \m/ That downbeat bell with the backbeat crash is 🔥 Nice reaction y'all 🖒🖒 Glad ya liked it!

Turn the volume up to 20. Time to wake up the dead! Played this in my LAV before every mission in the sand box.

This is their best album imo. This song, fade to black, creeping death, call of ktulu, the whole album is top shelf.

This album was to heavy for air play in its day. This entire album is EPIC

Thanks for the Metallica song , I’m a 68 yr. Old ROCKER, I LIKE TO ROCK , HAHAHAHAHA, cool channel you two. TEXAS HERE😉 I’ve seen METALLICA live 6 times .

My personal opinion is if you are enjoying Metallica and want to check out something that you wouldn't think would work in a million years then seek out any video from their original "S&M" concert. Metallica + San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I first watched it with mouth wide open (I enjoy metal and am a classically trained brass musician). Michael Kamen did an excellent job of creating orchestral arrangements that stood up against the 4 guys from Metallica killing it at the front of the stage and the orchestra were working just as hard. For years Metallica have come on stage to Ennio Morricone's "Ecstacy of Gold" and to have a live orchestra doing the same was a nice touch. Then straight into the near-10 minute instrumental "Call of Ktulu" followed by "Master of Puppets" without a single break. Epic. They did this track, "Enter Sandman", "One" (which I thought was born to be orchestrated after hearing this version), "Wherever I May Roam", "Nothing Else Matters", the list goes on... There was a point at the turn of the 2000s where I had the 2 audio CDs on constant repeat in my car.

best Metallica album!

This song was inspired by the book by Earnest Hemingway "FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS".

You can always check out Orion by Metallica... an instrumental...

Fun fact about intro songs in the UFC, Dana said they pick about 99% of the songs for the fighters, the vast majority of them said "I dont give AF about an entrance song" haha

Iron Maiden and Metallica are the masters of changing the beats multiple times in a song

Most of us who study music or play an instruments are always astounded by the things Metallica does. There's a little bit of dissonance thrown into the song during the instrumental break they play after the first chorus. They do this twice when they play a chord that's not part of they key that they are playing in. Please do a reaction video for "Master of Puppets" if you haven't done one yet. Keep on rockin' in the free world, my friends.

Dude! You gotta do The Unforgiven ( video), Wherever I May Roam (video), and most importantly Welcome Home Sanitarium!!! live and studio!!!

EXCELLENT. I've always been partial to the title track. I'd love to see your reaction to RIDE THE LIGHTNING. Have a great day, guys. Greetings from New Brunswick.

This song in my opinion is the greatest movie intro song ever. It opens up the movie Zombieland perfectly

Great harmonies on this track. 9:15 captures a dying soldier's thoughts.

this marching rhythm makes it perfect for the gym!

He's got the right idea using this song for opening entrances for fighters. I remember when a wrecking ball was tearing down an old building where I live a long time ago, and pulled my car up to it after work one day and put on the song on the opening instrumental. It was soooo cool! Only got 3 or 4 wrecking swings from the ball, but I had to make that happen. This whole album is fire!

They used it for the intro to Zombieland it was awesome to hear in the theater and see the intro.

This man went Lift before the video 100% Got you bro🍺😎🤘🏽

when tia when this album came out in the 80s i went to a place called the record vault and bought the vinyl. went home and listened to creeping death. i was very impressed. bad ass

Same Album "Fade To Black" sad song about suicide but one of the best on the Record

you can tell that the band must be a fan of Hemingway's books, he wrote several books about WWI, they also wrote a song from another anit-was was :"One"

well when you really look at and think about it "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "One" go hand in hand with each other and are the two sides of a Coin.

Fade to Black is my favorite song it has gotten me through some tuff times.

Ah, my top favorite Metallica song- It's based off a tragic book written in the 1940s with the same title.

Man Cliff was a beast. One of the best bassists to ever play the instrument IMO. R.I.P CLIFF BURTON

This tracks just grooves. Head bop the whole time

It was used for the opening credits in the first Zombieland movie

The song is nearly as beautiful brilliant and urgent as the book..!🤘🤙✌

Just found your channel today and gave an instant sub! Great reaction to a great song. Metallica has been number 1 for me for almost 30 years. If you're looking to stick with this album, Fade to Black is an absolute must. The song Battery from the puppets album is a personal fav of mine too. Now to go binge watch some of your videos haha 🤘

The Four Horsemen, Ride the Lighting and Creeping Death are 3 of the other top 6. Fight fire with fire and Disposable Heroes are up there as well, and you already did Master of Puppets of course!!

This song drives me nuts every damn time

My Alma Mater uses this song to run out to at college football games. Really fits considering Mississippi State has Cowbells during their games

acdc does use this as an intro to hells bells....its a massive bell that is suspended over the crowd. Obviously, it doesn't ring but is triggered by the soundman on tape

Definitely So Epic!

Cliff was a bass legend period

This song was actually used in the very popular movie ZOMBIELAND 🔥 the beginning when it shows people getting mauled by zombies haha

Live it kills every single time, so groovy.

Good day to ya. Go to Seattle 89 live at Bing and purge " for whom the bell tolls" and " Fade to Black" considered the best heavy metal concert? This live version will blow your minds no joke! And " Fade to Black" blows the studio version out of the water. It's that good. I wanted to share this. Be cool stay safe.

This track is soooo good and sooooo short! 😭

It should be a felony to play this any lower than max volume!

the live 89' seattle the best watch. FOR WHOM THE BElL TOOLS.

You neef to do this one live. I saw them 5 times when I wss in my 20's and this is my fav song live❤❤❤❤

Have you guys checked out the 1991 Monsters of Rock with Metallica and AC/DC in Moscow? Check out Enter Sandman and any of AC/DC at the same concert. Yes that is 1.6 million people there

Please react to Leper Messiah from Metallica

Lets face it,no denying you guys are metal heads now!😂🤘

You guys might like the song the four horsemen they do too

Weird how this song has no solo. The song actually peaks during the intro. Maybe the best intro to any metal song.

you can always count on Metallica to blast your face off with a badass 3 minute intro, RIP cliff masterpiece of a intro

It's Earnest Hemingway

This song makes the opening of Zombieland epic

Another great video. Another great song. If you want to really experience Metallica, I recommend the S&M album.

Fun fact: The bell sound heard at the beginning of the track was actually produced by drummer Lars Ulrich striking an anvil with a metal hammer in combination with a bell from a sound effects reel.

I forgot to say that you two would make an excellent DJ team. 😊

The movie "Zombieland" starts with this -epic

It would be badass if someone will use this song as his/her ring entrance in a fight.

ALWAYS have the lyrics up. Adds to the song.
