FIRST TIME listening to METALLICA - "Motorbreath" REACTION

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

They also reused the line "Full speed or nothing" in the chorus for "Lux Aeterna" on the new album. Motorhead was the biggest influence on Metallica aside from other bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest just to name a few.

[@metalmark1214]

This song is about living in the fast lane, not sitting back and letting life go by. The Motorhead influence is seen right in the title. James Hetfield wrote this song with his high school friend Hugh Tanner before Metallica was even formed

[@krazeyhazey7491]

Motorbreath is the heavy metal lifestyle

[@Darkstar72SR]

James is a gearhead/car-guy, also see: “Fuel” and the music video for “I Disappear” for proof. 100 proof that is, HAHAHA. Ya know the bands off-color nickname was Alcoholica, for how much they drank?

[@ObscureGuppy563]

Wait until you hear Jump in the Fire. That song is so underrated.

[@iTxip]

​@@soulrevolutionradio8011nah justice is some.of their best stuff. After that I agree.

[@iTxip]

@@soulrevolutionradio8011 Im not talking about commonly held beliefs, just my opinion. To me MoP and Justice are their 2 best albums even with the questionable mixing and mastering in justice, then RtL then Kill em all.

[@dantefernandodantezambrano7910]

I heard James Hettfield wrote this song when he was 14. He was still in high school.

[@ZombieJesus1987]

James was just a teenager when he wrote this song, which definitely shows in the lyrics

[@RatBotEins]

You should totally check out Motörhead. Ace of Spades, Overkill, We are the Road Crew, Bomber. All classics, amazing stuff.

[@He11aHunn]

The first line of Hit the Lights (actually the first line of the first song of the first album), 'No life till leather" also refers to the Motörhead album "No Sleep Till Hammersmith".

[@sonofspock1]

The way James Hetfield was, at the time I'd go with alcohol.

[@sonofspock1]

Also never really picked up on how stoned you were, explains a few things.

[@Darkstar72SR]

Ya know James is a gearhead? And the band’s off color nickname was “Alcoholica”.

[@jonathanrogers1714]

Alcoholica every time

[@jonathanrogers1714]

Are you a fan of 420 miss Lilly Jane ❤❤😅

[@geraldlee9608]

It's my favorite song of their first album!

[@davidderousse6293]

I'm a simple man, I see Lilly Jane and hit like.

[@johnpyle1268]

I remember when they played this in 1993 at the Lee Civic center in Fort Myers, Nowhere Else to Roam tour. Killer performance!

[@xCodeXANA]

LOVE this song!!! So happy you're doing the entire album! I love your reactions, the way you just feel the music. I love it.

[@Corpusi]

Thats why i love metallica,the riff was related to the song sound like motor engine..

[@joehodgett3376]

40 years ago this song got the blood pumping of a 9 almost 10 year old me. never has been a great lyrical song, but those riffs are another story. one of many stories of why I love Metallica

[@sloppiejoe87]

The riff alone makes it my favorite Metallica song. When the first riff kicks in I still get a adrenaline rush

[@Defensive_Wounds]

Motorbreath, Anesthesia and Metal Militia are my faves off this album!

[@mortenfrederiksen3063]

I think whiplash will be a fav.. its one of mine for sure

[@zoranpeternelj1160]

I remember I was in third grade first time listening to this gem...back in 1992...good memories!

[@MichaelPugh-zx8ko]

This is such a fun song to play on the bass. I want to get my band to cover it.

[@sinistan1002]

I love 80's MetallicaA. this song had been thought of having a punk vibe to it also but strictly speaking it's not the same

[@captaincapitalism264]

So much potential crossover between punk and early thrash, right?

[@genarogilormino2139]

So fn good, this is when they were insane lol❤❤❤❤

[@soundguy78]

Yeah, Girl!!!! Let's get it!😎😝😂👍💪🍷🚬

[@dakotaman408]

This is the era of Metallica known as Alcoholica

[@masterleoric4565]

I used to have the alcoholica drink em all shirt

[@JM00237]

React to rust in peace five magics you will love the bassline and the solo at the end is awesome

[@BlackieNuff]

I can totally hear Lemmy's gravelly vocals covering this one.

[@collinkenney4573]

This is my favorite song of this album. The album in general i consider to be the greatest thrash album of all time

[@emt5330]

As far as I can recall, it's the only song credited to one person.

[@bayareathrasher666]

Fuck Yeah, was there 1983

[@patrickhepworth9426]

You should really check out Motorhead, particularly "Ace of Spades", sure you'll love it !

[@L4MMoTH]

Think about this record have 40 YEARS¡¡

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

It amazing have cassette to and Cassette to 91 version where AM I EVIL BLITZKRIEG ON IT

[@Aethyrs]

for me is it, to be a singer and written all my band .....thhis song made me to be it

[@user98xp]

Sounds like a lot of substance use references and metaphors about living fast (obviously) In the early days of Metallica and Megadeth, they were both living wrecklessly and they kind of worthipped Lemmy (as one does) who was an absolute... well he liked to go fast. Love and peace.

[@creepingdeath8248]

I take it as to be the best u can be. Dont be another blade of grass bending with the wind. Go Forward and beyond and be that pinnacle on top of that mountain that u need to climb to make it. Thats how i see it

[@darinosmond2640]

"NO REMORSE" NEXT PLEASE!! 🤘🤘

[@kohman777]

You should also check out the demo version of Motorbreath with Dave Mustaine on guitar... he absolutely kills it.

[@gthewolf7948]

No

[@JeffSmith-it4tm]

first time I listened to Metallica in 1983 I was like, This band sucks, then I started smoking weed a few months later and heard them again and loved them LOL. Being stoned makes everything sound better.

[@cyrusatkinson3307]

Always had a feel that it was band life on the road

[@ajas7851]

I think motorbreath is about living a lifestyle in the way it is and what a person really wants and is not guided by the social norms of a place.. it is a lifestyle which is reckless, adventurous, dangerous but free..Freedom is the essence of motorbreath i feel, freedom from social norms and things which restrain people...

[@louierodriguez7264]

I would love to have a beer with you 🍻🤘

[@jimschlatman215]

If you've never heard Moorhead then you gotta check them out! They're big song is Ace Of Spades although Overkill and Killed By Death are great songs too! They are earlier Heavy Metal than Metallica and Iron Maiden and Metallica has covered various Moorhead songs over the years. If your gonna try some Moorhead start with Ace Of Spades their biggest song! As usual you have great reaction videos keep them coming!

[@captaincapitalism264]

While not among my favorites from this outstanding album, it's still great thrash with cool lyrics. That riff underneath the solos, and which closes out the song too, is so damn metal. As some others here have commented, I think James (& others) wrote this song back when he was still in high school...so don't look for Shakespeare but near-punk style. I can't wait for you to get to Phantom Lord, No Remorse, Whiplash, and Am I Evil?...!! 🤘

[@Shawn-mo6dh]

Its really simple no hidden messages. It's just about James hetfield's love for cars and going fast

[@дедРоман-ш8у]

😘

[@HomeHalfway]

Motörhead was phenomenal. Miss Lemmy every day.

[@juanchopelota5228]

Como no te voy a dar like si yo te pedí este tema genia !!!!!!!

[@ChameleonTW]

I really would love if you react to Overkill band. My suggestion is "Thanx for Nothing" live version; "Horrorscope", "Elimination" and "Necroshine" Live 2002.

[@bigdaddyrat7854]

Have you ever heard of Metallica 'Garage days re-revisited'?

[@metallimatt10]

This is the only Metallica song James has the sole writing credit for

[@LifeLongVillan]

Please check out Motorhead as I think they had big influence on Metallica 🤟

[@axdambient]

Motorhead kicks ass. Overkill is a must hear

[@jackwallace4241]

There is a good reason why they are nicknamed "alcoholica"

[@Lodgerizer]

In swedish I would call this valpigt = puppy-ish. It's an awesome song but you can hear the zits popping and the teen hormones splashing around all over the place. And yes, you should definitely check out Motörhead. "Killed by death" is a good starting point. "If you squeeze my lizard I'll put my snake on you..." ;)

[@Tomekkplk]

Still doing the pot intro?.. Lol are you still in high school?

[@dollcet308]

"Motorbreath" just like "Motorhead" are waaaays old slang for being on Speed/Amphetamines, if the synthesis wasnt done 100% correct Speed carries a slight chemical smell of almonds/marzipan others may detect, you see somebody full of energy trashing out and smelling like a bakery... ;-)

[@stephenlawson3071]

Motorbreath describes a speed freak's actual breath smell, meth-mouth would be another, "...the sign of living fast, takes you destroys you, takes your breath away." Pretty obvious to any who have dabbled in that life.

[@zwieseler]

Now, as you listen to so much Metallica, I reckon you should visit the band which won the first ever Grammy for heavy metal. They actually won ahead of, you guessed it, Metallica. So, I give you Jethro Tull…. 😉

[@robertsimmons6200]

Hi have a listen to Rainbow there song Stargaze some classic rock😊

[@raymendez8758]

How u live your life don't slow down it will take u away u live how u wanted to be

[@RobbHollen]

James Hetfield is on record as saying he could fart better lyrics nowadays than the lyrics in this song.

[@robertwhite6248]

I have two reaction request,,, both new one is Tom McDonald,, "Dirty Money" the other is Angelina Jordan's brand new "Love Don't Let Me Go" I think you will like the

[@zender1979]

Saying something is “so underrated” is so underrated 😂 please stop saying that sh#t, the whole metal genre is underrated but only by people who don’t listen to metal so just drop it 🤘🏼

[@mrmetallica85]

It was the shortest Metallica song until hardwired lol

[@theripper1222]

React to PayDay by Yuno Miles

[@squashedeyeball]

Bless you Lilly! In 1985 Mortobreath was massive. Played a lot faster live.

[@bapzishere]

Now listen Megadeth's FFF and compare the two .

[@gthewolf7948]

Megadeth plagiarism?

[@buckeyechad1]

Take chances, don't be a norm. 3rd says it all

[@renejensen7799]

Seek and destroy my friends!!

[@javadtavana5593]

عالی🌹🌹

[@andrewdavis9980]

This girl is just methed up.

[@andrewmcgill9544]

Sole hetfield credit...epic Yolo lololol

[@sumonjamal1653]

James Hetfield is a huge fan of fast wheels and hotrods... but back in the day when he was a teenager, he was too broke to afford a car 🤣 but I'm guessing that James fantasized about life in the fast lane and driving like a maniac when he wrote 'Motorbreath' (this was before Metallica had formed)... 😈

[@josephbrenner2278]

Song is about their love for alcohol

[@cineasmovie4197]

Hello....Lilly,good you're react 👍 Recomended for you 🙏 come you're check it out,3Girls hijab rock heavy metalism band from Indonesia 🇮🇩 'VoB' (voice of ba-che-prot):God,allow me (please) to play music 'OMV' this amazing band,unique,and talentted the young ladies 🤘🔥 i waiting for you. #VoBfansBase🇮🇩🤘☕

[@ThumperE23]

Lilly you must, no need to listen to Motorhead, Lemmy was such an influence to heavy metal.

[@sepulmattica7649]

The only similarities between Motörhead and this song is in the name of this song and the band Motörhead…Motörhead never played any kind of shit like this. Now there is a song on this album you are about to react to…Whiplash, that song is more of a comparison to Motörhead

[@user-Tulpa9Na6Metle]

Oh, you have recaptured your channel from the crooks))

[@slitveintv9705]

poor choice.....how about jump in the fire instead

[@joejoe3260]

Alcoholica aka metallica

[@VoiceOfReason919]

no cleavage :(

[@gthewolf7948]

Boring girl. This song is good. Wtf

[@scottbrenizer7894]

Dave Mustaine of Megadeth wrote this riff and Metallica stole it.

[@romans003]

Nope , Hetfield wrote the song with another high school buddy. Long before the Metallica started, all Hetfield

[@tommyhock6411]

Dude was in "Metallica" at the time. It's crazy.. people leave/quit/get fired from bands all the time. It happens.. most of the time, music stays.

[@carlgibson285]

Mustaine wrote a lot of riffs for the Kill 'Em All album but he had nothing to do with this song. It was 100% James.

[@chupasaurus]

Yeah, he even wrote Anestesia. Come on, read the credits on the album, they are actually right.

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

Nope, Dave Mustaine had nothing to do with this song. This was 100% written by James Hetfield and is his only songwriting credit where he wrote the song all by himself. Mustaine only cowrote four songs on this album.
