First Time Hearing METALLICA - MASTER OF PUPPETS

[@AGDinCA]

This is, in my opinion, the quintessential metal song. 🤘

[@UltraViolent21]

Best Metal band ever. Best Metal album ever. No contest. The Kings 🤘

[@susanconstable2113]

Go down the Metallica rabbit hole! Over 40 years of music to catch up on. They have been my favorite band since about 1985 when I first heard them! They just dropped a new album in April. As an old school Metallica fan I’m loving that they still got it in them to not only create new music but still sound superb live! Long may they reign! James hetfield is not only the singer and one of the guitarist he also writes the lyrics. He writes in a way that is personal to him yet can be interpreted by the listener to their own lives. This album is the first metal album to be placed in the library of congress for its cultural and musical significance!!!! Keep the Metallica reactions coming!!!!!

[@michaelcardwell1991]

Let's be honest they sound like shit now bold school shit is great tho

[@Edessa_G]

Dude explained it perfect at the breakdown. He gets it from the off. Now time for his journey 🤘

The thing I love about this song (other than the fact it is a total BANGER) is the layers of meaning that are built into it. The song is about drug addiction and is written for the majority of the song from the perspective of the drug. The drug is gloating about becoming the person's master and helping them on their way to death. The drug is the Master of Puppets, making the addict it's puppet. This was beautifully illustrated in the cover art where you see the puppet strings connected to all of the graves on the ground. Then to show the artistry of the musicians the music is written to follow the cycle of drug addiction. The first part represents the addict craving the drug and the drug taunting him. The middle piece represents the addict taking the drug and the euphoric dream like state when you hear that amazing guitar solo that almost feels like a dream. Then you can hear the drug wearing off and begin to go back to the chaotic frame of mind as the addict is wanting more. This song is a masterpiece on so many levels!!!!

You should watch a live version of Master of puppets--I recommemd you the Quebec magnetic live version, I was there for the entire show & the interaction with the crowd was amazing. Have a nice day, guys.

[@stephenhitchen8753]

Saw metallica on the master of puppets tour in cardiff uk, awesome gig

[@shmick6079]

This is my favourite Metallica song, and my favourite album of all time - it’s 🔥 Maybe you should do a full watch through the S&M concert video.

[@ktgo4424]

awesome reaction. I love getting to see someone listen to this stuff for the first time. I was blown away by this song the first time I heard it. My list: 1) tie - MOP / One. One was the first Metallica song I ever heard, and instantly, that was my favorite song. And that was in 88, when it got radio play. Then, I heard MOP a few years later, and I couldn't get enough of it. My favorite is whichever one I'm listening to at the time. 3) Ride the Lightning - the top 2 are clear cut, but I like Lightning more the more I listen to it, and I've listened to it a lot. 4) Fade to Black - I mean. Amazing song. For 99% of the bands in history, this would be easily their greatest song. 5) Disposable Heroes After that, it's Fight Fire w Fire, Orion, Leper Messiah, Creeping Death, Blackened, Four Horsemen, Battery, Damage Inc, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Dyer's Eve, No Remorse, Sad But True, Unforgiven, No Leaf Clover, Call of Ktulu, Don't Tread on Me...all changing the order along the way. If you include live performances, I'd add Harvester of Sorrow, The thing that should not be, and Sanitarium to that list, much better live, IMO, than studio versions of those songs.

[@tannhauser5399]

Not only that. It was all done by young people at that time, James was like 20-21 years old when Ride the Lightning came out, Cliff Burton did most of the songs on that Album too (but unfortunatelly he died in a car accident during the tour)... And if you listen to master of Puppets & Ride the Lightning - think of... drugs. As those songs are about them and influence that they have on lives (and James was quite open about it too). Again, amazing that it was all done by a very youg people at that time.

Blud thinks Imma read all that 😹😹💀💀

[@ramrod7368]

Hit him with Disposable Heros He LOVE it! Appreciate B safe 👍🏼🙏

[@mitchand9]

James actually plays the first melodic solo in the breakdown

[@dustinplatt6882]

It's the best Metallica song ever... or at least top 3. I know everyone has their own opinions, but as a Metallica fan since 1981, and I can say from Ride the Lightning ..And Justice For All, Master of Puppets it's one of the finest songs, ever in metal.

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

God people keep going into the meaning of the song. Forget that, just revel in the fact this was Metallica in the genius years where they were angry and hated the world.

[@neilbohanan4035]

I seen 8 times over the last 35 years. Best metal band . Till this day. Still making albums and still on tour . And if you hadn't heard the song seek and destroy both songs off the kill em All album and if you hadn't heard them check them out. \m/ METALLICA \ m/

[@JaggedDagger]

The first lead during the mellow section is done by James Hetfield

[@voldebean6055]

Fan of Tendulkar and Metallica. ❤

[@kardeef33317]

For me it's Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest as my top 3 bands. Black Sabbath, Ozzy with Randy Rhoads then Dio.

[@susanconstable2113]

You’re going to be saying “this is my new favorite Metallica song” A lot!!! I can’t give you a favorite album let alone a favorite song on any of them.

[@arjay6928]

Kirk Hammett was taught to play the guitar by the Great Joe Satriani, if you want to hear some next level guitar check out "surfing with the alien" by him. Truly amazing musician !

[@alricaneshama]

For me? My Metallica favs? My Absolute Top Favs Tier 1 One Master Of Puppets Seek & Destroy Favs Tier 2 Enter Sandman For Whom The Bell Tolls Unforgiven Sad But True Nothing Else Matters Ride The Lightening Whereever I May Roam Unforgiven II Turn The Page Fade To Black ...And Justice For All

[@susanconstable2113]

The first solo that’s melodic is the user getting the “high” the second harder solo is the user needing a fix.

[@ortizu2]

You should introduce him to Cliff to whom the bell tolls live version before he died!!!

[@marksharp1781]

Damage Incorporated disposable Heroes and Prince Charming are three songs you should react to by Metallica awesome

[@harrihakala3884]

Please check out a finnish band Nightwish and their official video "Noise". That would be the "Master of Puppets" for the new generation🤘

[@thestanleys3657]

Made famous for a new generation in S4 of stranger things performed by Eddie(character in the show)

[@VadersRage]

If you want another great one from this album (pretty much EVERY song is fire, thpugh) that gets the gym "juices" flowin".....give Damage Inc. a listen. The bars will blow you away. If the Navy Seals had a theme song...? That would be it. Liked and sub'd for more Metallica.

[@jarmopaakkonen2045]

💥Cliff Burton❤💥

[@slingshotcrazy]

There’s NO WAY this hasn’t been heard before 😂it’s been around since 86’ and despite being only album number 3 is their Magnum Opus and arguably the greatest thrash metal album of all time!!! And couple that with Stranger Things too!!! Make sure to also if not having done so already, to check out both Orion, Battery, Leper Messiah and Disposable Heroes, you won’t be disappointed 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@BoringReviews]

I know but it’s true. He hasn’t seen the last few seasons of Stranger Things

[@ktgo4424]

Leper Messiah. That song is soo underrated. Awesome base riff, but that whole breakdown section, prior to and after the solo...it's amongst my favorite Metallica jams in all of their songs. Not quite as powerful as One's amazing breakdown /outro, or as epic as MOP, or quite as awesome as Lightning. But, it's right up there.

[@MichaelScott-jy2si]

Cliff Burton was the reason Metallica became so big React to Metallica 1985 Day on the Green For whom the bell tolls Cliff's opening bass solo will melt the skin off ur face

[@JP8Mate]

Gotta do Disposable Heroes

[@krazzko]

MoP, One, Fade to black, are high ball for other bands.

[@brantrice7915]

This song is a drug addicts description of life, the lull is the finally high, the rest is the search.

[@MichaelScott-jy2si]

Listen to Cliff play the bass in the middle of the song

[@stigpetersen9701]

If anyone conclude that Metallica us not the greatest metal band ever ( and one of the greatest bands ever in all Music) they have to be checked 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@TheCourtJester.]

dude on the right looks like mr robot

[@amystreet5402]

If you haven't listen to Creeping Death from Moscow 91 you should check it our

[@susanconstable2113]

They tend to close their shows with enter sandman. Master is never going to be the closer song.

[@NOTISL]

Master of puppets is anti-drug song .. master drugs and puppets human that want more and more every time. It talks about how drugs controls you

[@Sleepydill]

there is no way you call yourself a fan of music and you don't know what this song is. that's why i don't believe these reactions

[@leeshaofu]

U guys are fake, u know this song, it's not a reaction

[@JohnCampeasGreenCup]

Alllllriiiiuuyggghtt welcome back to...two un employed losers in a basement. Today we're pretending we havent heard a song
