Metal Family season 1 episode 7 

Dee is intellegent as his father but as cranky as his mother. Heavy is dumb as his mother but naive as his father. Beautiful.

The darkness that Glam still has inside him is heartbreaking.

4:20 When he says "Do you have any talent at all?" it's Gustav's voice instead of Glam's. That's such a cool depiction of generational trauma.

It's heartbreaking how obvious it is how much Glam cares for his family, but when it comes to music, he instantly turns into his father

Hits hard when you realize Glam is acting like his own dad.

“If I could play the guitar after a couple of minutes, Dee must be shredding it.” Heavy loves his older brother.

That piano version of lonely day is awesome

Glam even predicted how long Dee would last in their lesson. Then there's projection from his childhood trauma. **virtual hug for Glam**

I was shocked because Glam was acting like his father for a moment 😳

I flinched when Glam started talking to Dee like that And poor Dee, guitar isn’t very easy and I was surprised that Heavy could pick it up so quickly

shit, this is actually getting me emotional. i relate so much to dee, i was always the "intelectual" girl, who likes books and learning other languages, while my little sister is amazing with everything related to art. i mean, she can draw, paint, sing and play 3 different instruments (just like my dad), and it just seems SO EASY when she does these stuff, but when i try it's like the hardest thing ever. it used to get me so angry and disappointed with myself, i can truly understand how dee feels

5:31 the way the tear falls down dee's face breaks my heart.. i feel so sorry for him.

I just wanna say, whether it was done intentionally or not, its actually very common for intellectually gifted people (like Dee) to struggle in learning new things, usually much more so than average intelligence people. It's because when you're gifted you spend so long with everything being easy and intuitive, that when something isn't you don't the experience of learning to guide you.

And Dee was smiling just like Victoria! As I understand it, Victoria and Dee smile like that when they find themselves in an awkward situation!

If you didn’t notice at the beginning of the ep glam was humming “we’re not gonna take it” from the record chive gave him in ep 9, such attention to detail is why I love this show

Glam is an amazing father and he started off with good intentions, but he definitely did relay trauma at the point that he said Dee was shaming him. It definitely shows that his fathers attitudes are still affecting him. It doesnt make him a bad parent, he realized what he did and apologized, and that makes him already a really good parent and in the other episodes he does a really good job of not repeating his fathers actions. But this episode is awesome bc it shows what trauma can do to someone. And no matter how hard he tries someimes things will slip out. Glam isnt a good father bc he is perfect. He is an amazing father because he tried his very best and when he does slip up he takes accountability for it.

Dee's voice is sooooo beautiful

seeing Glam act like his dad is terrifying. but important to remember that he was abused and has never been taught another way to teaching music. I really hope we get an episode where he sits down with Dee and apologises and let's Dee know not to be so hard on himself :

2:05 Are we not gonna talk about that amazingly accurate tutorial in the background?

I love this episode. I love how they didn't force a good ending. There a ton of people who tend to drop hobbies when they aren't good at them for the first time, and I feel like this episode puts it in such a harsh, raw perspective.

For people who have fallen in love with Dee, I want to say that Dee is not really mad at his father, but rather at himself, Glam guessed that Dee does not want to play guitar, but just to show "how cool he is" to the girl from the quest( they will meet) So that's all right

Notice how glam realized he was being too harsh, nobody taught him how to be a good parent and yet he clearly did great no physical or emotional abuse this was his ONE slip up which is amazing for children who grew up in a his el households and he apologized immediately he could’ve handled that situation better but for someone of his background he handled that amazingly

This was really heart breaking to watch. As someone who considered themselves talentless as a kid, tried to learn guitar, and had an emotionally abusive father with temper issues who tries to teach me this really hit home. I remember how shitty I felt after every lesson because he would make me feel like shit for not picking it up right away. After weeks of torment I abandon the instrument and never pick it up again. It effect me even now. When I hear lingo typically associated with acoustic guitar I get flashbacks and feel horrible.

Rewatching this episode made me realize that at the beginning Glam is humming were not gonna take it. It's good to see that the song is still a part of him

The way Glam's voice transitions seamlessly into his father's at 4:48 is really disturbing. Giving them the same VA was a perfect idea.

I feel that Glam's anger is also due to how important the guitar was to him gaining his freedom, and seeing Dee being so flippant regarding it (not wanting to learn the basics) pissed him off. *edit* ok! so, according to the creators this scene was actually about Glam treating Dee like Dee has a tendency to treat others (IE: like they're stupid for not getting things right away), so Glam did the same to him. Weather or not Dee absorbed the lesson or understood the point of it, is unknown. However, I do believe the issue is quite complex, so I believe rather than it just being about the above, I also think it's to do with Glam being partially offended and other things as well.

The fact glam said this was fucked it and than made see fell useless hits home for me… 5:22

2:17 HE WAS GONNA SAY KURT COBAIN OMG- wait why does that make me so happy-

This is one of the most heartbreaking series

i love this episode because you can really see how glam’s trauma affected him, he sounds a lot like his father did. You can see how he catches himself when he blows up at dee, realizing this. i feel really bad for him

Did anyone notice how he was learning the guitar to play for lif? That’s soo sweet 🥺

5:33 WHY ARE THE SIGHS AT THE END OF EVERY WORD SO ACCURATE THOUGH

dee getting scared of his own father is literally the saddest thing ive ever seen :((

This ep makes me so sad every time I watch it. Dee is clearly a child prodigy, gotten from Glam, so its harder for him to learn newer or more non-academic based things like guitar. Glam getting angry with him then realizing and apologizing is what I like to call 'abusive accidents' not when you accidentally abuse someone or anything but when a survivor accidentally does something their abuser did. Glam's "abusive accident" was him starting to act like his dad, and I do not blame him for doing so since it's hard to control, but he should've handle teach Dee a bit better, since he knew that Dee wasnt all educated in the musical field.

6:26 THE MOST LONELIEST DAY IN MY LIIIIFE AHHHH SHIT

OH MY GOD this was incredibly relatable as a gifted kid it is common to struggle to learn new things and this was basically my experience playing the guitar wanting to play perfectly immediately

as sad as this episode is i thought heavy’s dialogue at the end was nice. “if i can play scream after only a couple of minutes, then dee must be shredding like eddie van halen.” it’s nice that heavy believes in his brother so much!!

5:30 See that’s difference between him and his dad He actually realized be was being too rough and apologized immediately after. Already a much better dad.

3:38 i don't wanna be that guy but that note is a B 😩

At 4:30, I think Glam is trying to scare Dee away from music with his sudden increase of talking speed, especially after his small outburst. He's realizing he's more like his father when teaching then he thinks and doesn't want that for Dee (or heavy but he's not the topic) so he's just trying to get Dee off of music altogether, since Dee's lack of musical talent brings out the worst of Glam, as we and Glam have noticed

alot of people have been like "im shocked Glam was acting like his dad" or "its sad that Glam is acting like his father" Glam is simply projecting. When going through something as traumatic as what Glam went through as a child, it's easy to then project that onto your own kids.

Dee is so cute when he is acting like a teenager XD. I like that he has weak points which counterbalance his intelligence and makes him more than a little snarky version of Glam. It shows how Glam knows him well too, even if he is not the kindest father this time XD.

WHEN I HEARD SYSTEM OF A DOWN FOR THE ENDIND SONG I FREAKED OUT OMLLL

There’s so many layers to how sad this episode is… It’s frustrating to struggle with something you want to learn but someone else who doesn’t care has natural talent. Glam having to consciously and constantly keep the bad habits he learned from his father in check when he is displaying tough love. Dee having to be forced to temper his expectations to his level of talent and skill. There are so many things pulling at the situation and the tension nearly tears it.

everyone says that Dee's voice is gorgeous, but the original "Russian voice" is many times better

Man i get that Glam is still traumatized from his dad but he didn’t have to take it out on Dee.

If you listen careful you can hear glem humming “we’re not going to take it” by twister sisters while chopping tomatoes for dinner as that was the first music he actually liked

2:33 I have a theory about that clock cause it was set to a time of 2 minutes and 58 seconds meaning that Glam intentionally or not knew the class would only last that long cause if something him or his son did, so maybe in the back of Glam’s mind he knew he wouldn’t be able to do lessons with his son cause of his past. I believe like some others that Glam has BPD or DID, and I think he has 3 alters(different identities/personalities) which is Glam, Sebastian (young Glam), and the last one which is like a small piece of his father that never got always from him. And in this lesson the “Father” (I’ll just call it that) came out during some moments. I don’t have DID myself so correct me if I’m wrong, from what I heard people who have DID can sometimes tell when they’re switching between alters which we see when Glam serval times in the lesson tries to take control again knowing this might have happened which is why he set the clock cause with this drastic change of alters and Dee’s frustration the lesson would be so short Glam could predict the perfect time it would end before Dee walked out or Glam would have to put a stop to the lesson cause it would become to much for him.

Love how Glem sings ‘we not gonna take it’ in the kitchen)

2:04 Look at Dee's monitor! That makes me cry because of laugh XD

Watching this after episodes 9 and 10 just makes this even more heart breaking, seeing Glam's father slightly coming through in his teachings, it's frightening

I suppose Glam noticed that Dee would NOT realy like to play music. (we know he just wanted to make some affection on a girl...) Glam understood it and quickly (in 3 minutes flat) showed Dee that he shouldn't try something that he don't really want. I think it's really smart of Glam.

5:28 ok but this hits a nerve with me because this is exactly how my mum acts after yelling at me and then I say its fine and im not angry and stuff. Dee is one of my comfort characters now. Too relatable.

Ugh, this is so heartbreaking on so many more levels if you know Glam's past. I'm lowkey hoping for a more lighthearted episode next time, just to offset the heavy subject matter here.

4:37 Glam literally did a glissando on the guitar omg Only people in orchestra will probably know what I’m talking abt but like

If you pay attention to Heavy when he’s talking to his friends, it sounds like he said, “If I can play Scream for 3 minutes then Dee must be shredding at it” after he mentioned Dee strumming all day. It’s pretty sweet that Heavy looks up to his brother like this

This was sad, but so real.

Русский фандом на столько суров то что может смотреть англ озвучку и слышать все по русски

Bro was literally like "you have no musical tallent lmao"

Glam has one hell of a dark side

4:15 he looks so serious and it’s scaring me-

This honestly reminds me of how scared I am to turn out like my parents. I’m scared I might unintentionally hurt my kids emotionally when I have them, even if I know I’m far more ahead then my parents the thought is still terrifying

I think glam was trying to show dee how he treats others when they don’t understand something right away. Good teaching moment honestly and when he slips up and goes to far he switches up feeling guilt but not apologizing just how dee does

1:43 I thought he was gonna play stairway to heaven 💀

4:01 And that was how Glam broke his finger

I actually really like how Glam handled Dee's lesson. It's important to understand that if you do not have the raw talent for something, you will need to work at it. It's even more important to understand that some people will have it much easier, Heavy. I'm sure if Dee had shown a real love for, and dedication to, learning glam would have happily continued the lesson.

I’m a musician with “talent” and it is so hard! I Learned piano,violin,guitar and harp basically all at the same time. There were points where i felt like my fingers were gonna fall off!

hello american fans. I explain Glam's behavior. he initially understood that dee did not want to play the guitar. he wants to impress someone (pen pal). and for Glam, the guitar is not just a trinket. it's part of his soul. (sorry for mistakes)

dee struggling to play the guitar hits you in the feels because he IS smart, but he can't be good at the guitar without talent and practice, which is fucking relatable as hell lol. also heavy being a chill gamer bro is adorable X3

It's sad how Glenn almost lost control like his father does if Dee hasn't snapped him out off it he would have lost control and turned out as his father 4:09

5:47 is that moria from overwatch on the display.

After seeing Glam's backstory, this whole thing hits really hard. For a moment, it looked like a cycle was happening.

2:04 I love dude 's guitar playing style

This episode hits harder than a mack truck. You know what I mean if you've felt a parent's disappointment, an inability to do something, jealousy of someone else's gift, a sibling's admiration or jealousy, or even a father's.... knowing of his child's inability. Well played, 10 out of 10.

4:22 " oh sorry professionals habit ' More like I've become my father where's my ruler. Poor Glam maybe he put the timer on in case he did act like his father

I relate to Dee a lot, I’ve been playing instruments all my life but never once has it come easy. Everyone said “you have such a beautiful voice” and would send me up on stage for recitals and concerts, but I was never really all that good at music theory. I tried learning guitar and had the same trouble as Dee, it hurts trying to play, it’s a lot to learn

The emotion Glam showed in this episode only foreshadows his origin and I cannot wait to hear such a episode dubbed. Spectacular. Also nice touch on the Loneliest Day cover over the credits.

Man this hits home. Learning anything can be difficult and child protagys can be aggravating. But all it takes is to forget others practice and listen to others when they point stuff out. At some point it clicks and its genuinely fun to improve and even add your own flare to it. Your not gonna be the best but hey the only record that matters is your own

0:01 bro glam is humming were not gonna take it after season 1 that hits different

The moment a bit of Gustav showed in Glem

Dee Carrie's his father's intelligence and his mother's tendency to get into trouble while Heavy Carrie's his father's musical talent and his mother's fiery nature

3:28 Glam: It's a note Me, who watched an additional content: From Enot (russian word for Raccoon)... no, wait... it's Deenot

Dude this part is just sad :( 5:27 poor dee

How glam for a second turns into his father is hard to see But best thing he always return to the sweet glam again

Ooof, Dee's single tear as he walks away kills me! Incredible and heartbreaking episode. Also seeing Glam have moments where he reflects his dad's behavior... 😭😭😭

5:10 when u try to get good grades-

The way Dee gets progressively angry through the lesson before saying “I’m not angry…at you.” before silently crying as he walks away portrays anger way to good

before this i got a Simply Guitar ad 💀

4:56 Uuuuu, goosebumps

5:32 Dee was crying

Tbh the way glam was going "not clean,NOT clean,NOT CLEAN" over and over was so funny but it really shows his past trauma on how he was taught

Did anyone noticed that the reason why Dee (someone who hasn't played with an instrument before, and not very skilled at it) wanted to learn to play an old Guitar out of nowhere was because his crush (the person he is messaging all the time, which was later revealed in season 2 to be a cute goth girl) messaged him asking if he plays the guitar. So he wanted to impress his crush, that's why he got mad when he couldn't learn to play the guitar in a single lesson and how he envies his brother Heavy who can play the guitar just by hearing a song's rhythm. Dee tried so hard, and though not so far, in the end it didn't even mattered anymore to him and he finally replied to his crush that he doesn't play guitar.

My eyes just saw a masterpiece

Glam: “The guitar is a musical instrument made of-” Dee: **interrupts him** Glam: **visible anger**

Here. Literally. All. This is great! I love the drawing, the voice acting, the plot so much! You are wonderful people! ❤

hits way fucking harder when you realize they used lonely day for the end credits theme

5:00 after I came back from the 10th episode I realized how much he’s starting act like his dad :(

I remember when this first came out in Russian, and thought Glam's behavior was really out of character. Then 8-10 happened. The writing foreshadowing, and hidden clues in the first esp really make this some of the best writing, and story tellling out there.

I think the reason why it's easy for Heavy to play the guitar is because he's just imitating someone playing it and not thinking too hard about the small details. While Dee goes into small details and by that, he ends up getting lost.

what the hell? why was this so good? what a massive jump in quality, absolutely hooked now.
