muxz It’s right up there with beautiful intros like “The Hellion” by JP just before you’re blasted by “Electric Eye”. It’s a amazing work of art and a heck of way to open an album.
You sound like a Canadian eh! Lol You hit the nail on the head been banging my head to metal for 45 yrs now and dont plan on stopping any time soon or caring about what others think.
@@willie1062 lol yes I am Canadian. Been a Metallica fan for over 20 years. I still listen to the same songs and once in a while I notice something new or I'll listen to isolated bass or drum tracks. It's amazing how this music still has the same effect after all these years.
Nail on the head man. Thats exactly y. Glad i was a teen in the 80's no one will ever make music like this again. Been waiting for yrs for them to do it. Still love'm and all the old shit they still rock out!!! Dude ur face says it all!!! You feel it man!!!
T.R.K.B Y VOLASTE 666 mate, it's too long to mention all the Metallica songs that kill every other bands intro's. Just the intro of blackened and damage inc smash every other band.
Yes. Along with perspective in terms of the lyrics, it can easily become someone’s favorite. I’ve known people who’ve shied away due to the title, but have come to love the song once they understood what the song was about (my wife being one of those people 😂).
Absolutely love that smile that every reaction person gets when they really hear something they like. You cant fake that reaction. There face lights up and you cant fake that. Takes you back to the first time you heard it for yourself.
I just saw Metallica back in March. Let me tell you, I f*ing cried. That show was beautiful. This is one of my favorites from them. That intro speaks to my soul!!!
Master of Puppets is one of those albums that you can just listen to over and over again and never get tired of it. Don't believe me?? Get in your car and just start driving, and I mean drive 100 miles and you'll still be listening to this album! Definitely one of my top 5 albums of all time.
I was 16 years old when this came out, living in the North Bay, this was everything that Summer. I am 48 now and still absolutely get pumped when I hear it to this day. So glad it still brings people joy.
this is one of the heaviest songs they ever wrote, watch it live in Seattle in 1989 to be blown away, and on the same album Disposable heroes is probably one of their best and most underrated songs!
It's funny because I'm always so blown away by their acoustic or quieter bits, that intro, and the mid-section to "To Live is To Die" are among the most beautiful pieces written, to the point when I started learning guitar I remember bringing those two parts I'd taped off the original specifically to learn. That To Live is To Die piece is one of the earliest pieces of music I ever learned to play and I still play it almost every time I'm looking to test out the sound of a new guitar...it's my "Stairway to Heaven" lol
I keep finding new metal I’ve never heard before and I’ve been a metal head for 34 years and my list of favs keeps growing. It’s too hard to have any favs once you get rolling. So many songs are amazing. Like children, it’s hard to have a fav. You just love them all equally.
Making my friends listen to Battery and watching the confusion in their faces when the intro ends and main riff enters was one of my favorite pastimes as a teenager. Fast-forward 25 years and watching the same confusion is still one of my favorite pastimes.
Damage inc is the other song to get you pumped on this album. And boy won’t it get you pumped. Love your work Preston. And then of course there is fight fire with fire - that will get you gooooin!
I almost forgot about Damage Inc, that song and this song are the most in your face on the Puppets album. I can't explain how hard these songs and the whole album hit me when I first heard it 20 years ago when I was 11. I had never heard of thrash/extreme metal, just the Black album and Load was the heaviest music I heard before this. Bought Puppets cause the cover looked cool and when I heard Battery it changed my life.
i saw them live in 1985, small crowd by there standards. Played Almost all of kill em all and ride the lightning. then again i also witnessed slayer and exodus along with motorhead, destruction, kreator, celtic frost, whiplash, anthrax and so on, all wth in the same 6 to 8 year span. it was a good time when that scene was ligit underground.
4:44 when the solo hits, Preston reacts as though he sat on a tack😂 Most genuine and enjoyable reaction channel by a mile. I think you’d love the build up and transitions of FIVE MAGICS by MEGADETH.
Master Of Puppets is THE perfect metal album. From begining to end every song is flawless. All other metal albums are just pale imitations and WISH they were this good. Best metal album of all time, maybe best album ever. Just my personal opinion.
It's reaaaally not too bring this stupid and overdone Megadeth vs Metallica silly thing, I love both bands to death, but I'd say Rust In Peace is better for a few reason, and one of them is Marty Friedman. An actual excellent and inspired lead guitarist. Respect to Hammett, but for example, the solo on Battery is pretty lame in my opinion. I also think The Thing That Should Not Be doesn't really shine... But yeah, Battery / MOP / Sanitarium / Disposable Heroes / Orion are 5 fantastic tracks. And Damage Inc kicks some ass
I can start with Ride the Lightning...go straight into Puppets and finish with Justice...and I cant find a filler or a less than perfect song. All three albums are absolute perfection. 85 to 88 were damn good years. Once in a generation type albums. When albums can stand the test of time and can still be relevant 30 plus years later, you know they are great.
This is the opening track of Master of Puppets. That album is unbelievably good. It's on Rolling Stone magazine's list of top 500 albums of all time (in the 160s if I recall correctly) and on the list of 1001 albums you must hear before you die. It was also the first metal album to be deemed culturally significant enough to be preserved by the Library of Congress. That's how you know you've truly created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
What is it about watching someone geek out on music you've enjoyed for decades. It's like "yeah brother, right? right?!" Makes you appreciate the music in whole new way again, like YOU hear it for the first time again.
@@garri5108 No, not even Metallica like that album, the production was jacked, the mixing was bad, cant even hear the bass as it was so goddamn washed out its the actually sound of 80's faded denim jeans. Old heads would list it as 4 or even 5, new heads would list it as 4 or 5. Meaning you're on an island with thinking its their best, but to each their own.
AJFA is hands down my favorite Metallica album. Yes the production could have been better but, even as it is, it still blows their other albums out of the water for me.
This is the song that revealed metal to me. Was 16 and only listened to drum and bass, techno, classical music. This was blasted at a warehouse I worked at while zooming around on a mini forklift and I had a major revelation. The memory still gives me goosebumps.
And holy moly my predjudice against metallica was shattered. Only knew them from their awful mid nineties stuff and their popularity made no sense to me. After hearing this it made sense haha.
Yo Preston. My late buddy, Shawn, and I used to play this song on our own guitars. We literally practiced until our fingertips bled. So when I tell you that this song holds really fond memories for me, I mean that. I still play it with a backing track to this day, but it just isn't the same as when my buddy was alive to play with me.
Plays, sings the song, judges when to ad-lib and work the crowd, take a stroll, back to the mic to grab a fresh pick in the middle of a fast riff without dropping a note, wander around some more, punch the f*** out of Lar's cymbals in the middle of a song, etc. You watch Hetfield do that and it's like he's not even trying. It's just what he does... How? Some kind of monster :)
@@kennethfrank8337 I agree with what you are saying, but it's still not a bad album. Don't also forget Harvester of Sorrow, which in my opinion is just as good as Blackened and One.
OddBallPerfomance You're right it's not bad and maybe the band was still reeling from the loss of Cliff. I catch a lot of shit from people who say it's their best album. It's all subjective in the end but I usually point to the end instrumental as a good example of my take on it. Oh yeah, Happy Holidays.
I remember you saying "The day that never comes" topped "fade to Black" lol...you should react to their first song from their first album...."Hit the Lights"
Back in the 80s when I was a teen, I was searching for a sound, I loved Judas Priest and the like. I talked to a friend of mine and he lent me three Metallica CD.. the first one I put in was Master of Puppets.. the first song: Battery. I was instantly in love. THAT was the sound I was looking for, so this song will always hold a special place in my heart.
I LOVE how you keep restarting at certain parts like there's nobody watching. It's just you and the music. Really gives me that feeling of experiencing the song for the first time again. Thanks for doing this!
You just made my day. hopping into this. normally it annoys me when reaction vids people constantly stop the song to talk but; here you go being all in. thank you.
I love seeing people discover new music that maybe they wouldn't have heard otherwise. Music is the form of art that speaks to me most and I really like seeing people get to experience new forms.
Agreed. I used to think reaction videos was about the dumbest shit I ever heard of. Why would I want to watch other people, listen to music i already know? Lol. But I get it now.....it's sharing that experience that you had the first time YOU heard it. It's seeing their faces when they hear something as amazing as this for the first time. This channel helped me see the reaction light! Hahhaha
@@kikstand2011 Oh yeah. And when it's real, and understood, and Metallica gets started up and you see someone start to get groovy in one of the intros and then WHAM! Not the band, the reaction!
Battery is my favorite Metallica song. I’m from the Bay Area. They had their studio in Hayward Ca. Used to see them around all the time. They actually came to my bands studio around 1988 and watched a few of the bands in those studios do our band practices and partied with them all night. Cool guys.
Master of Puppets is just TOO good of an album, every single song in it is a master piece. They have this sort of magic in them that Cliff Burton brought and we didn't get to see much of in their later stuff, as much as I love them too. If fade to black is your favorite Metallica song, I highly suggest checking out Welcome Home (Sanitarium) from Master of Puppets album.
Ride the Lightning is my favourite. Creeping Death and For Whom the Bell Tolls my favourite Master of Puppets is my second favorite album. Disposable Heroes and Master of Puppets And Justice For All is my 3rd. And Justice For All and Frayed Ends of Sanity Kill Em All my fourth. Jump in the Fire
Your followers are putting you on all of the best music. Even the rap tunes are bad ass. Your reactions are great. You are killing me cause it will take days to go through them all. Good job.
