FIRST TIME listening to METALLICA - "Orion" REACTION

[@chupasaurus]

Cliff was told by his father "I have a problem with your music: I can't dance to it with my wife!" so that's how an actual waltz was sneaked to a Metallica record.

The (Metallica) song that changed my life was Welcome Home (Sanitarium). I had never heard Metallica prior our local stone John Caldwell putting this album on at the local teen community center. We were allowed to bring our own music and allowed 30 mins. I'm there playing pool, probably listening to Bon Jovi or something and John put on this album which we all knew would be "that headbanger noise crap!" Then Sanitarium played, and my jaw dropped and I instantly became enamored with the sound, and begged to know who it was. I asked for this album (cassette tape) for Christmas that year, and I got both Master and Justice tapes! I was 16. I became a complete metal head and started hanging out with the other "freaks" and learned just how truly cool, intellectual and creative they really were. I learned a life lesson then not to judge a book by the cover after getting to know them. It all started from Welcome Home Sanitarium.

@@RobertYacobozzivery accurate she had no clue about drums

[@WykkedMofo]

The one Metallica song that changed my life, you ask? I would have to say "One". Because up until I saw their video for that song, I had heard of Metallica, in magazines like RIP, Metal Edge & Metal Hammer. But I had never HEARD them. They got NO radio play back then, and they didn't make videos. Until "One". Then one day I saw it as a "Canadian Premiere" on the MUCH MUSIC Power Hour. With host JD Roberts(now an American news anchorman, CBS I believe). And I FREAKIN' loved IT! Next day, I went out to Sam The Record Man and bought ALL their cassettes. And I listened to all 4 of those albums relentlessly. Almost driving my Mom insane in the process. LOL. So yeah. That's the song that "introduced" me to Metallica and I haven't looked back since. Gonna be 52 this year, still and ALWAYS will be a Metalhead. As for which album you should react to next? My vote is on "Kill 'Em All", but when it comes to those first 4 albums, there is NO wrong answer. Loved the reaction. Keep up the GREAT work! 🤘🤘🤘

[@David-hr8mq]

My story is almost the same as yours. Had heard of Metallica but I had never listened to them, which would require buying their album since there was no radio airplay. I thought I didn't like metal, but to me metal was Motley Crue and Poison. I had never heard thrash. When I saw the video for One on MTV, I had never heard anything so dark and it was amazing. I ran out and bought Justice and eventually all their albums and then moved on to Megadeth, Slayer, etc.

[@brianfuller4071]

It is kind of funny that you said that about them NOT being played on the radio, "back in the day" because that WAS the point of Metallica!!! They didn't want to be "radio hit makers" and they wanted to write and record THEIR MUSIC, THEIR WAY, without input for record executives and radio stations!! In the 1980s I was still growing into adulthood in Ithaca New York, and not one radio station in my area played a lot of heavy metal! In fact the handful that would, stuck to songs like Van Halen Eruption/ Running With The Devil, Ac Dc You Shook Me All Night Long and Back In Black, and rarely Don Dokken's Alone Again......but that was about it!!! And I am talking around 1982 to 1986!! You'd NEVER heard an Iron Maiden song, Def Leppard was completely "unknown" to many people in my home town, and even bands like The Scorpions, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot and Judas Priest, NEVER got any air play throughout most of that decade either!! Yet the screwed up part the radio stations that supposedly played "today's music" often stuck with RAP, or songs from Peter Gabriel, Cyndi Lauper, Depesh Mode, or Micheal Jackson!! It really was a "dark time" for rock and roll as well as Heavy Metal music in the 1980s in central New York!! But Metallica NEVER wanted to make "hits" then, they just wanted to make the music they wanted to play!!

[@Frostrazor]

Interesting comment you made about Lars and the drums. As I understand it, he used a different snare drum for this song specifically. Go listen to "Photograph" by Def Leppard, and hear that amazing sharp snapping snare in that song. Lars asked to borrow that snare for the recording of this song as it had such a pronounced snap to it (Rick was obviously recovering from his accident at that time and likely wasn't using it - not being crass - just giving context). You can hear in Orion how that snare drum is quite unique and iconic and is the same as Photograph. I personally do not think it sounds like garbage cans - as a drummer myself, I'm actually quite a fan of the way this drum sounds. I think it sounds crisp and super sharp! Though I will say the St. Anger album Lars's drums sounds like pots and pans and I absolutely can't stand anything about it.

[@hopper1]

This was a good review of "Orion". The important thing to remember is the era when this song (the album as a whole) was released. No internet, no playlists (other than mix tapes) and Metallica was not heard on the radio until "One" was released. It took me a whole year to find out that a local metal band, playing "Creeping Death" was a Metallica song. I didn't even know the song's title was "Creeping Death". I purchased "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride the Lightning" before I found the song I was looking for. "Orion" was something I heard when a friend played it for me. I couldn't, at the time, afford to buy the album so I had to rely on friends to play the "Master of Puppets" album for me. I appreciate the technology of the current day, and the reaction videos of younger people, such as yourself, but I don't see any acknowledgment of how us grey beards learned (and had to work for) the music. Please, keep in mind in future videos that instant gratification didn't exist.

[@ryanstandre3648]

This song has a way of touching every part of human emotion.... It helps with clarity.... I know of several professional athletes and race car drivers that listen to the song before they perform,.

[@axdambient]

the song that changed my life was Fuel, from the Reload album. But it wasn't the version that was on the album, or the S&M live version. I used to play a Playstation 1 game called Hot Wheels Racing, it has one of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Their center piece was the demo version of Fuel, called Fuel For Fire. I was obsessed with it, I was 12 and I thought it was the coolest song I'd ever paid attention to. I grew up watching VH1's Pop Up Video and MTV's TRL, but this was something immersive I got on Napster, then LimeWire and WinMX and started downloading Metallica. A cool neighbor of mine introduced me to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Megadeth, and the rest of Metallica at 13 and I became a devoted metalhead, goth/punk, and electronic music guy (techno, dnb, dubstep, ambient, etc). I've been playing music for 19 years, and honestly, if it wasn't for Metallica I never even entertain the idea. I wouldn't be the same man. I wouldn't have the gnarly long hair I have now! I've loved watching your reactions to rock and metal because, honestly, rap rarely ever gets me. I like a lot of old school people and a few other younger rappers and producers but overall I stick to what I like, and make an effort to explore a lot of new things. Love jazz and classical, blues and funk and a lot of progressive rock and some folk/songwriter stuff I mean, eventually I'd imagine you'd want to do all the albums and music right? Doing Kill em All next would be great, then maybe the new record coming out in a few months. It feels like you've really enjoyed yourself and that's the most important part. Thanks for your work, appreciate it!

Blackened was the song that changed my life as it was the first Metallica song I had ever heard, this was shortly after the And Justice For All album came out.

After hearing this album over and over, I begged my parents to get me all of their other albums and I just drank it all up. Metal is a language in and of itself, so when you talk about instruments talking, that's 1000% a real thing, but I think other than great symphony, metal is the one genre that tends to surprise a lot of non metal listeners when they first hear it, and I have seen a lot of reactors in the last few years becoming metal heads which is friggin' awesome \m/

[@rofyle]

I caught an interview once with the guy who mixed this album. He said James and Lars would argue with each other, one demanding the drums be turned up, the other demanding the guitars be turned up, and both demanding the bass he turned down. He said neither had any idea what they were doing, and he would wait till they left the studio before he turned everything back to where it should be. He said Cliff came into the studio by himself for only one song, and it was this one. It was just Cliff, no James and Lars. And he said it was a delight to work with him, because Cliff knew exactly how to operate the sound panel to get the best sound. The guy who mixed And Justice reported the same thing about James and Lars arguing with each other, except in that case, much to his regret, he left the bass turned down as they had demanded.

Cliff Burton's Bass Solo Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) from Metallica's debut album Kill 'Em All. It literally made my mind up to play bass. He is one of the biggest influences of mine instrumentally and musically. Today oddly enough is the 38th anniversary of his passing at the age of 24.
