[@Redeemedon090910]

Most criminally underrated song on Master of Puppets.

Sad but true, mann

1point for you, I love those song, and it's really good to play it on guitar

[@tristramcoffin926]

Master of Puppets will never be underrated

[@brandonchurch2094]

jeremy miller it’s the worst song on the album. It’s still really Fucking good but all of the other ones are better

[@subway5907]

One of my favorite riffs of all time

[@aleksandarradivojevic9084]

My favorite track off Puppets!!! HUGELY underrated song.

[@kulantroinc753]

Love the solo of this song!

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

When I was first learning guitar, especially rhythm guitar, this is the song I cut my teeth to. The tightness of James's gallops taught me so much about economy of motion and persistent downstrokes

[@scottg1911]

Jim and Tammy Baker are exactly who this song was written about. Metallica playing this song live at monsters of rock 1986, say "this goes out to Mr Jim and Tammy Baker".

Lars and James were sitting up watching early morning televangelist after a night of partying. James came up with the idea of watching these people give their life savings being told that is the way to earn a seat in the kingdom of heaven

The song applies not only to "false christians". It applies to religion as a whole. The song is one of the best out of the Master album.

Leper Messiah is one of the best songs on Master of Puppets.

[@squashedeyeball]

Oh well, I see my comment dissipated with the previous video. So again, this a long time overdue. I remember the first Metallica reactions on the channel, thinking that Leper Messiah was around the corner. Two years later, it's here... And a one hour review brings back memories from the Sorvinted days of old.

[@squashedeyeball]

Disappeared*. Lol Damned auto correct.

[@jesusroblespalafox1753]

Gotta react to Dyers Eve or Damage Inc next, more Kickass Metallica!

[@victorrocha2488]

They have already react to Dyers Eve

[@45banshee]

This is why I want someone to react to Slayer-Read Between The Lies. Same topic different energy. Tom is kinda rapping on it. Underrated song by them should get more praise

[@edgcrushr]

Tom is absolutely rapping on it. And people were so upset with stuff on Diabolus because it was so "nu metal." They were doing that shit way back.

[@johnmayes5889]

Hell yeah great song both songs are good slayer

You guys are awesome. Best reaction channel on KZbin. Intelligent discussion that doesn't shy away from tough subjects

[@arnlab]

I'm from a catholic background and holy water is free to get if you bring your own bottle and ask for it. Also in some places there is the tradition of easter water, where you get water from a spring on the morning of easter and bring it to be blessed.

[@Jay-gc9bb]

I love that Clint Eastwood movie, " The Outlaw Josey Whales". This snake oil salesman is waiting for the ferry with Josey, and he tries to sell his " miracle oil" to him. He spits chewing tobacco on the guys fancy white shirt, and says " will it get that stain out"?

[@ABoyd1852]

One of my fave scenes from my all time fave movie.

[@ShaneSaw911]

Slayer's "Read between the lies" has a similar theme.

[@GriefGrumbleTheMauler]

I'm rather with Sori on this one. One example: my grandmother tells she tried to read Bible several times, but never understood a thing. She wears a cross, calls herself Christian and probably does fast. Also, she makes cross-shaped charms and hides them everywhere whenever she believes there is some evil spirit in her apartment. She also uses some Christian prayer-like spells to get more health, money or whatever. She worked as a Soviet engineer her entire career, and she is still very sane. In Russian church you can buy special blessed candles to light them up and address God with your wish. Blessed brochures with those special prayers are also sold there. And much more. Another example: Leskov (writer) has an interesting character living in 19-th century Russian village. He is so Christian, that his neighbors (not only illiterate peasants) describe him as follows: "he has read Bible up to Christ, and even further!!111". This kinda suggests that common folks of not so distant past were not very successful with understanding Bible. I suggest that for a "large" fraction of Christians, there is no awakening or mind discipline, or any ethical growth at all. For them, Christianity is just an advanced animism. Bad spiritual entity makes your husband drink a lot? Buy him an icon and a brochure with a prayer against alcoholism. You may say that Western Christianity is different - yes, but not for common folk who didn't get far into Bible. Their demand for trinkets is met with the supply from independent vendors in US and from monopolist Church in Russia. If we follow Vin's unforgiving attitude here, then we must say that stupidity (mental laziness, okay) is a vice. What, well, Satanists often say.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

There are literally Christian stores that sell thing like holy water. And little trinkets that people use to represent them and think hopefully having these will show that they are Christian and god might let them in heaven. Etc etc.

[@SimonH109]

@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 They even have a store like that in the Vatican

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

@@SimonH109 they're everywhere. Some things are different, like we had these kids animated movies about bible stories. And they were fairly entertaining. But it was also through the church directly. Its funny though, wasnt the protestant reformation all about calling the church out for scamming people with buying their way out of hell or buying gids help. But they do it just as bad, if not worse in some cases.

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

You guys don’t have to apologize for the video being long, I love when you guys have long videos! Great reaction, I’ve been wanting to see you guys do this one for a long time. If you’re reading this comment, I hope to see you guys react to Wooden Jesus by Temple Of The Dog one day. I know you guys enjoy reacting to Chris Cornell and that song has a similar meaning to Leper Messiah so I’m just curious about what you would think of Chris’ take on a similar subject.

[@idkidk2459]

Very entertaining - and lengthy - reaction/discussion. I have to side with Sori on much of the argument in this video. Thanks for being your wonderful selves!

[@dkmcbigsley]

Once again, I appreciate your review because I don't always catch lyrics listening on my own. 👍🤘

[@timetheous]

love this song .... you can have faith, believe, and be religious without religion ... televangelists sell the "fast food" of religion/Christianity to people who don't know any better ....

[@RagingInsomniac]

yeah. not religious myself due to the sheer amount of conservative christians, but i do sort of believe in god. or something after life, like reincarnation.

[@ericcolon8561]

6:02 onwards. That's what 'tallica brought to the table. James, the riff-monster and smooth Kirk before he was claimed by the noodle demon.

Lol that riff at 6:02 is Mustaine's 🤣🤣.. the irony. Just goes to show how integral he was to their early sound. But when James starts spamming the tremolo palm-muted riffs, those are his (the heavy and fast breakdown). The melodic creepy section before the breakdown and solo is Dave's.

[@alebarajas3045]

One-Winged Angel no shit, he was 1/4th if the band dipshit. Clearly stuff will stick around when you take up 25% of the band.

[@gernwind9262]

@@ludvigtheholyblade259 Even if Dave came up with that (I'm sure you have the details), the sound and execution is entirely Metallica. You obviously won''t find something similar on the speedfreak Killing, but neither will you on more mature Megadeath albums. Dave and his collaborators never get that certain oomph as well as the sleaze of "the remaining members of" Metallica, who no doubt were less skillful but had more of a knack for song writing and more "heart". Or to put it in more neutral but equally fuzzy terms: they simply were "leaning into" it in a different way.

[@kylereece1979]

Swedish band Evergrey have a fantastic concept album "The Inner Circle", which deals with the topics and subjects yous discussed here. Its a truly brilliant album from a ridiculously under rated band. Check out tracks like "Ambassador" "A touch of Blessing" . Amazing stuff!

[@purplebeard1526]

Was this actually about Jim Baker? I mean the timing of the album's release and his demise seems to line up. And definitely the lyrics hit a lot of points of his televangelism scandal.

[@FreeMTrider]

purple beard there was a whole slew of them. The Puppets album actually came out before ol’ Jimmy was taken down.

[@lsu1992]

Wanna hear the best metal-diss track? Miracle Man by Ozzy. Swaggart had Oz banned from Baton Rouge and New Orleans in early 80s, cause he was "evil". Oz laughed last and best.

[@purplebeard1526]

@@lsu1992 I've never heard that was a direct diss track but I can actually envision it being so. The Televangelism game at that time was crazy--not only the televangelists themselves but the followers of them too. It really put a dark cloud on what otherwise can be a good avenue to spread the gospel.

[@agrofindastation]

​@@airfixx_8952 "Jim Bakker was convicted in 1989 and sentenced to 45 years in prison. The sentence was later reduced to eight years, and he was released in 1994. Tammy Faye divorced Jim while he was in prison; she died in 2007. Bakker and Faye's relationship-and downfall-was the subject of a 2021 film The Eyes of Tammy Faye, starring Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain."

Miracle Man by Ozzy is about Jimmy Swagart. Excellent song you should listen to.

[@IanMM88]

Pastor Rob and Gage also do a really great reaction to this song. I'm not a christian but for some reason I love seeing the christian outlook to some of these metal songs I grew up listening to. Probably because I grew up in a christian house.

[@gemmagean9330]

Sori, YOU hit the nail on the head for me. Trying to make this short.. I was VERY ill as a child and VERY behind, almost not age appropriate. I for the sake of space---I NEVER really learned critical thinking and therefore my 1st go around with the Bible I took EVERYTHING out of context. THIS would lead me down a wrong, bad path...…...now I am deathly afraid to read my Bible for fear I NEVER get what is truly being said so I watch preachers who DO preach the word. I do and am filled with the Holy Spirit and I know he is our teacher but I have such a fear of not getting the true teachings.

[@snickerdoodle3217]

I used to go to a local Baptist church when i was a kid and basically the only way my church would get money to help repair the church or have money for materials for Sunday school/ youth group was through donations from the church members. But money was never a requirement, you could also just help the church by donating your time . For instance, helping decorate for VBS, donating food to the church to help a fellow church member in crisis, donating baby bottles to parents in our community, helping out with the skits for VBS. It was all about giving back and doing whatever you could to assist your neighbors and it was like a second family. even the pastor was like a grandpa or an old and wise family member. my church is an example of a good church that does not ask for much and gives back to the community that is why it makes me upset to see some churches taking advantage of people and having greedy people leading them.

[@sancamilobad]

That 'stink face' (8:09) describes perfectly that riff and that final transition (8:04). Love it!

[@squashedeyeball]

Loved the discussion. Well, I'm no a Christian, so I can't get into too much depth when it comes to these concepts in the texts. But all in all, people are good, bad, kind, mischievous... We come in all forms.Some will try to use the naivety of others to profit from it. Through religion, through "alternative treatments", etc... It doesn't really matter. In modern times we are more aware of frauds, so we can better fight against such cases.

[@Johnytomm]

There you go! that's better

[@FreeMTrider]

I wonder what kind of fans you two would have been if you were around when all this metal was being released.....particularly Metallica and Megadeth, or if you would have liked it all. I’ve said this a few times before and it sounds like the old “it was so great back then you just had to be there” attitude, but it really was. Obviously proven by the test of time. We hung on every rumor or news of the album they were releasing. Now I don’t want to say you guys are getting our sloppy seconds, but it’s true! feel so fortunate to have lived and experienced it. Keep keeping the faith guys.

Least hyped but my absolute favorite. It is the epitome of the classic heavy Metallica sound. The fact that it is a direct jab at those that use The Way as means to obtain power and wealth makes that much more special to me. So many sell themselves to the utterly soulless deception of these people. I have seen it up close and it is disgusting beyond words. If you've ever read anything about Hatfield's early life, you know exactly where this song came from.

[@heatherfranks6716]

Repressed anger because of his strict religious upbringing.

[@hmpz36911]

Did they even rate this song? The way the conversation went one would think more that they just reviewed Suicidal Tendencies "Send Me Your Money". Also an amazing Song and FACT: more Suicidal Tendencies needs to be reviewed! So then; I cannot believe the Jim Bakker is still active. There are a lot of televangelist that are selling their Miracle Waters and crap. My ex-mother-in-law was terminal. She sent every bit she had to those idiots praying for a cure. She somehow blindly continuously supported those obvious millionaires and they're flashy lifestyles. When we were finally able to fly down to see her again, we found her living in poverty and filth which worsened her condition. We altered our plans and spent months there gutting the house, fixing it up and taking care of her. Sadly she never could see that her health improvements ultimately came from love and happiness. Not greed from false promised miracles.

[@thelifesampler]

I think this song is about the evangelist , mormons and jehova witness. Even though catholic church is not the best , they at least help people , have nice arts in the churches and some kind promote good for poorest people. The others just look for money.

[@ernieherrera1034]
