I am a black man in his mid 50s I used to go to Metallica concerts and gigs before they hit it big due to a friend that turned me on to it. I was made fun for listening to this "white boy music" I listen to all music. It does my heart good to see people appreciate the greatness of the band for what they are and the genius behind the lyrics.

[@Cosmictraveler71]

I'm curious? How well-received was you by the fans at the time you went to the concerts? I'm going to venture a guess and say that you were probably well received? Being a longtime fan I know the kind of people that go to those shows and they accept everybody from my experience. I've always felt that the 80s and 90s people didn't care they liked you or dislike you based on your character. Plus we had some of the best music came out of those two decades

Of course there was the occasional stare even a "What are you doing here the (insert rap name here) concert isnt today." comment but heres the thing they wont tell you.

This song is just about the heavy metal culture, especially in the eighties when this stuff was new. If you were a part of it, you lived it, it defined who you were. The jean jackets with the patches and pins. The long hair and rebel attitude. This was my time and there will never be another like it.

[@Frostrazor]

I was there! i lived it. had the hair, the earring, the jeans jacket and patches and pins, and leather boots. That was my crowd and my vibe. I found Metallica in 1986 after puppets was released and changed my life. My first experience was hanging out at the local youth "Teen Center" and someone put on "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and i was mesmerized by what I was hearing - had never listened to hard rock/metal prior to that. Before that I was a top 40 pop fan (Madonna, Jackson, Prince, etc).

This song was a challenge to the music industry and to other bands. They put out Kill Em All, then Ride The Lightning... then this song, to close out their 3rd album, Master Of Puppets. “We chew you up and spit you out.” They we’re on the scene. Only a few short years into metal, and they basically had pioneered Thrash Metal. Is it selling out, when you INVENTED the genre? Some people would say they sold out later, after Cliff Burton died, after this album tour and the next album ( ...And Justice For All ) but that was not when this song released. This song... at this time, they were the king of the mountain. They were there to kick ass and to take the fuck over. “Fuck it all and fuckin’ no regrets... Damage, Incorporated” Metallica was here, and here to STAY. They were making a statement that they were the only band to hear, and they were taking no prisoners, holding no quarter. “METAL UP YER ASS 🤘”

They sold out when their music became hard rock instead of thrash metal. Once they became hard rock, all the collar wearing preppies were at the concerts too. That sir, is selling out.

R.I.P Cliff Burton. He was the fiber of Metallica for the heaviness. So talented, and this album was the end of the first phase of Metallica. Everything changed after his passing (some great, and some not so great). You can see the difference in the music and writing after this album. You can feel some of Cliffs influence on And Justice For All album with that hard edge, but then it drops off for me. Like all the greats (Randy Rhoads, Stevie Ray, Dime, Jimi), if Cliff lived what would have been? Would have been fucking awesome for sure, but I will be grateful for what he gave us until his passing. Stoked to see you guys getting into all of the music. Now you know while metal heads love all kinds of music, we will be metal for life🤘🏼

I love Metallica, have seen them in concert 4 times back in the day and wore out multiple cassettes of Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, MOP, and AJFA, but could never stand Slayer and most other metal acts to be honest. Metallica is unlike any other metal band. I was a skateboarder into punk and hardcore and Metallica was the first metal act that appealed to me. Pantera was another metal band that came along and appealed to my punk rock sensibilities. I’m still not a big metal fan, but can appreciate the musicality and talent that goes into it. Since I was a kid, metal went batshit crazy and branched off into about a hundred different genres. Some are just mind bogglingly weird and leave me wondering how the hell there is even a fan base large enough for some of it to exist. Like some stuff I heard that had ultra fast guitar and all of the vocals were done in whispers. If that’s what you like, great, enjoy it. Play it at work or the family reunion and go crazy whipping your hair around. Whatever floats your boat. All of that being said, for whatever it’s worth, I vote no on doing any Slayer reactions.

This song is not so much about "war" in the traditional sense. It's about the fuel, energy, and kick-ass vibe of metal music - this was "thrash metal" for its time and was essentially their statement that they could still do it better than anyone else. They pretty much started that trend and this was just showing the critics and fans, they still did better. So it was kinda cultural war to illustrate their dominance in the genre. Then their bassist died while on tour. And their sound changed a little. Their next album "...And Justice For All" (which hosts the song ONE that you did a reaction to) took on a more technical appeal, long songs with lots of transitions and change-ups, and very complicated compositions and meticulous riffs packed into one song. IMO the greatest heavy metal album ever recorded from a composition standpoint as the songs were all very technically skillful.

[@The1Virginian]

No one is ever disappointed by Metallica, especially the old albums which we lovingly refer to as "mandatory Metallica"!

I'll keep pushing for different bands and different tunes. I'd love to see how you react to something else, and hopefully bring you something new. For lyric videos, FEAR FACTORY has a number of them that are visually stunning and fun to watch. They are one of the innovators of industrial metal for decades.

@@ben1ben kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYezkn2net6ZfcU This one...Milan 1987. This is not a video, Just a random dude who recorded this. Better listen with ear phone. Battery,Damage Inc and Fight fire with fire was too fast... u also can check the channel and mostly 1987 live by Metallica was insane. Hope u like it mate✊

[@f.murphy8340]

Hey...you both are thoughtful and enthused. Also, gotta be the only "Double Dutch" ("waiting to jump in") reference in the history of Metallica Reactions. Nice....

[@CreepyNeighbor666]

If you want to react to a more recent Metallica song, try Broken, Beat and Scarred or Spit Out the Bone.

[@darchon5]

Nice choices! And the 1st is underrated.

[@Kupyank]

Broken, Beat & Scarred is my favorite song .. great choice

[@BATTIS94]

Nice! That's an underrated one.

[@stevenboyce4136]

Lex is a breath of fresh air...true joy and also knowing old Brad hating every RIFF of metal music...LEX YOU KEEP ROCKIN'...

[@MrToband]

This is real Metallica, back then the mainstream didn't know who the hell they were.

[@emcee7681]

Liked and subscribed! The genuine joy Lex shows learning what this band is all about takes me back to how I felt when I discovered them. Love seeing someone experience just how "lit" this band is. Glad to see you two get to experience the art and depth of metal music, breaking free from ignorant stereotypes. I like how intellectual you guys are when analyzing the expression of the music and lyrics. Go deeper into System of a Down, Slipnot and Pantera as well. Pantera is great at creating music that further expresses the lyrical content. Thanks, will experience this journey with you!

Metallica Battery

[@patrick1234]

Yes, but live Seattle 89, it will SEND Lex insane!!!! In the BEST way possible 😁😁😁😁😁

[@HerbertHoover38]

Your guys’ takes on Metallica’s songs are really cool as I’ve never thought about most of them the same way you guys see them The Damage Inc. being the “business of war” I really like that

[@metalmellie4371]

This is THRASH baby!!!!! YES THEY PLAY THIS FAST!! This is ALL THEM!! Next Master of Puppets live in Seattle 1989. "IF YOU WANT TO SEE A CONCERT!!!!" Lex will definitely love it! You feel the energy from it! It is a must for the feel of the energy!!!!! "Battery" is another from that concert as well I think you'll love!!!!

[@thomasjr11111]

100% Facts!! That live DVD is the best ever. It captures the energy perfectly. I have seen it a million and 1 times since it came out. Still get chills and the energy to lift a house from it. One of the greatest performances of all time!

[@db2807]

Lex has awesome reactions, so fun to watch!

[@dennishollibaugh8247]

Metallica was one of the rare bands who reinvented themselves with every album, yet still no matter what route they chose to take, you knew it was Metallica. (Except St.Anger....that was garbage lol...) Going back and seeing their growth over time is unparalleled.

[@Krow-go3ps]

St. Anger saved METALLICA, they had to strip down & find themselves again, they went back to the garage, not saying it was a great or even good album but it serves it purpose & they're still here because of St. Anger

[@dennishollibaugh8247]

@@Krow-go3ps oh, Amen to that. But I warn anyone digging into Metallica for the first time, you really have to hear the rest of their catalog to understand how it fits. Without knowing how they got there, that album can hit your eardrums like a loaded diaper. It can be appreciated, but it's not a "viber".

[@Krow-go3ps]

@@dennishollibaugh8247 exactly! 🤘

[@PlanetBerlin1991]

Actually most of the songs on St. Anger are pretty good, the fucked up mastering killed the album ...

[@dennishollibaugh8247]

@@PlanetBerlin1991 all I know is, by the end of that thing I just want to put a kettle over Lars head and beat on it with a skillet just to ask him how he liked it. 😂😂

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

I'll tell you this...old school thrash really knew how to close out an album....this song, "Polaris..." by Megadeth, "Raining Blood" and "Seasons in the Abyss" by Slayer...as often as the whole being golden, you were always guaranteed that the opening and closing tracks were solid! Btdubs....Lex is sooooooo cool! I mean her energy and enthusiasm for this brand of music is totally refreshing!

[@kileypaet8221]

More THRASH! Get around to some Anthrax, amongst the others suggested here.

[@rmhrllc5103]

I really dig the way Lex claws her way into the meaning behind the song. Finding out what makes it tick for you makes listening to music that much more amazing.

[@BunniMonster]

Metallica are awesome but there's only one Sabbath, mate.

[@efakter1]

Agreed

[@thebikewatcher9819]

I hate to disagree, but there's definitely 2 Sabbath's, Ozzy and Dio.

[@BunniMonster]

@@thebikewatcher9819 OK, you got me there :)

Great reaction friends. This album is amazing saw them 3x on this album was so intense.

Watching Lex feel the music and just get it is so great to watch. Renews my appreciation for bands and music again.

[@wickedPrints3256]

My favorite Metallica song ever! The best! Nice reaction.

[@feedthemachine99]

You guys are so Awesome ! I love watching you two really dive in and take it all in !

[@coling657]

I love it. “Tell me something i don’t know, take somewhere I haven’t gone before, bring me something I don’t have” right before kirk’s solo. The timing couldn’t have been better!

[@lucypoopies]

7:51 - "You know like before you jump into Double Dutch". You made my day as I'm now lmao with that comment Brad.

[@mikecomstock1602]

I went into The U.S. Army soon after this album came out. This is the best war music ever. I drove a 72 ton tank with this blasting and just killed every thing in the way!

[@subjekt221]

I was 17 when this album came out. Yes I'm old. In high school before our football games me and 3 of my teammates would listen to this song. Talk about getting amped. Thanks for sharing this. Lex you are awesome. Brad hold on to her. Sorry just started watching reaction videos.
