HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu' | GENUINE REACTION

[@jefffrey4844]

This one will chew you up and spit you out!!!! Stank faces incoming!!!!!!!

[@timothyhornsby112]

And it did, I have a MetallicA tattoo. And you need some Mushroomhead in your playlist bro , you're missing out on a band that was in the big three and started a genre! Solitaire unraveling, the heresy, we are the Truth, Sun doesn't Rise. Pick one. Try something new , hop in this here rabbit hole MollyBoy. And say Hi to the goosebumps and hair standing up with every song, it's not like anything you know, love the vids brother, and I like your style in cars. Keeping the faith you'll follow that crazy rabbit

[@TotalNightmaree]

We laugh you scream and shout

[@felipecampos3045]

You gotta check out the live version of this song in S&M, they play it with a full orchestra

[@vikusen1857]

Yes masterpiece in s&m.

[@maynardsdick]

It's the first track on S&M. This is the Metallica song that Michael Kamen was most excited to create an orchestral arrangement for.

[@mztweety1374]

Ikr! Who would have thought that one of my favorite instrumentals would be about an ancient, mythical, psychic sea monster.

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

This song is SEVERELY fucking underrated! I appreciate this reaction.

[@omgbeardriving]

Is it, though?

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

I almost never see videos about this song, or people commenting on it.@@omgbeardriving

[@omgbeardriving]

@@isolatedmortalityband5718 everyone I've talked to about the band loves it and I've seen it talked about a lot over the years online so 🤷‍♂

[@astronova3508]

to be honest in my opinion the main riff is a bit too repetitive. it sounds great the first few times but after a while it gets annoying because of the lack of switch ups. more variety would have done this song justice.

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

Every metal songs sucks then-By your logic.@@astronova3508

[@kmvoss]

Cliff going nuts in the background the entire way really ties it together. Great reaction.

[@cadelk87]

One of the finest moments in Metal history

[@dmwalker24]

That bass roar is EVERYTHING! My metalhead friends and I have had loads of fun over the years with this one. It's mostly not particularly difficult to play, and because of how it cycles, you can jam out to this for however long you want. A fantastic piece of metal history.

[@JohnFnLopez]

Cliff shines on this one. The Wah effect on his bass is magical.

[@donculotta1551]

No vocals brother. Just instrumental perfection. You can FEEL Ktulu rising from the sea....

[@Kalebfenoir]

If you can read the story fast enough, the music kinda matches the various reveals in the story, and the Johannson section of it.

[@codyholtry8571]

Always made me think more of "At the Mountains of Madness" more when listening though.

Cliff would step in his Wah pedal, back hand his strings with his knuckles and look everyone in the eye smiling while he did it, lol. RiiiiiiiP 🤘🏼

[@hereticzealot]

This was originally called "When Hell Freezes Over". Later the name of the song was changed at the initiative of the band's new bassist, Cliff Burton, and a guitar chord structure was added, written by Kirk Hammett, who was a big Lovecraft fan. The misspelling of "Cthulhu" is explained by the fact that, according to Lovecraft's works, mentioning Cthulhu's name (verbally or in writing) could summon him, so the band changed the name "in fear of the monster". (Copied from a fan)

[@EkcotheBeholder]

Dont forget Dave Mustain also has Credit with this song, he wrote that one Riff. Also used in Hanger 18.

[@UncleUncleRj]

@@EkcotheBeholder And it sounds way better in this track, imo

[@juliataylor707]

Smart young man..better be safe than sorry

[@Metalgool87]

Thanks for that one Molly. As someone who was self taught on guitar from metallica, you can appreciate the brilliance of what each riffs and tempo change means and feels like. Can't wait for more Metallica, remember there are a lot 🤟

[@jamestoft3932]

My personal favourite Metallica song. That Bass growl. Love watching your videos dude

[@elguapo9628]

And I'll go ahead and tell you right now, I've been listening to this since it was brand new, and the greatest thing about it is, you will NEVER get tired of listening to it, EVER! How many years have I been listening now? 40 years+? And I STILL listen to it regularly. It's just that fucking good. It really is.

[@MollyBoyTV]

THIS ONE IS UPLOADING 1 HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL SO MAKE SURE TO CLICK 'NOTIFY ME' SO YOU DON'T MISS IT!

[@Metal_Mary]

So satisfying watching youth love my Metal bands! Thanks Mollyboy 😁 made my day brighter. ❤️

[@NiF617]

You can almost see Cthulu coming from the oceans with this song, now you know why i pushed this song so hard. Cliff Burton and his bass solos in it are SICK!

[@jfpk114]

Oh this is the very song that hooked me into the metal scene. Late summer 1984, playing soccer in the park down the road from my house in Dublin and a group of metal heads (later became my close friends) blasting this from a Sanyo suitcase ghetto blaster. I froze to the ground on hearing it...... Everything changed for me that day. Pure time wharp. Good days. F*€king 40 years ago!!!!!!!!!!

[@jon9253]

Hey, I'm an old school Metallica fan from back in the day. I love how you say how awesome of a guitar player Kirk Hammett is.. having said that, you should check out an old metal/thrash band called Exodus. Kirk was in this band before Metallica. I feel like it's some of the hardest metal thrash ever created. I love your reactions, they're genuine and funny. Cheers Bro! Enjoy!!

[@travprice3979]

Yeah Exodus only got heavy and turned into a thrash band after Metallica moved to the Bay Area. They all followed them 🤘

[@morganlyckman4221]

Cliff Burtons bass playing is sick, hes roars with the wah pedal and distorted bass

[@Craigpyrog]

As much as I love the original version, S&M is just something else. If you don't know yet, it's Metallica with the full San Francisco Symphony orchestra playing live. I loved the first one so much, I actually travelled to the US from London to see them do S&M 2.

[@aldersmoke1]

The S&M version is epic and pretty. This one is mean and terrifying, mainly due to Cliff's unhinged performance; no version without him can ever top this.

[@janiepowell3218]

LIVE MUST WATCH The Thing That Should Not Be, Seattle 1989

[@firastalhouk8957]

this song is inspired by the short story “The Call of Cthulhu ” by American author H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulu is a water based beast or cosmetic entity but if you keep on repeating its name you wake and provoke it and it will rise and attack your city till it finds you the caller and kills you hence Metallica changed the name in the tittle of the song to Ktulu so the beast is not awaken. Listening to this masterpiece really you can feel the journey from waking up the beast as the music slowly builds up with suspence till when the beast reaches the city’s shores and the music starts to intensify as Cthulhu destroys the city and the music is just telling you how and discribing how magnificently raged the beast is. And when it destroys its target, the one who called its name and provoked it and woke it, then the beast calms retreats back to the water as it immerses its body into the horizon of the ocean the music calms and once the Cthulu fully disappers the waters go back to how it was before Cthulu woke and so does the music

[@ricsal245]

All those noises in the background are Cliffs bass. Fucking incredible!

[@danmoore9510]

In college... of course i took, "music appreciation" and did a report on THIS song. I actually cited like 5 different classical songs that have the same note progressions as in various parts of this song. I did the same thing with Yngwie's Icarus Dream Suite, but that had much longer progressions of identical notes, where clearly he knew the classical songs he was inspired by.

[@tomraider5933]

Crazy thing to think about, but you have impacted 32.5k people.....that's one helluvan accomplishment! Congratulations, and keep up the great work, love watching your videos!

[@MollyBoyTV]

Thank you so much!

[@AdrianVejar]

CALL OF KTULU AND ORION ARE CLASSICS... THEY JUST PLAYED THOSE TWO LIVE ON THE TOUR I JUST SAW LAST SUMMER.... EPIC!!

[@lisajensen3262]

Eerie and foreboding. But hauntingly beautiful. Masterpiece.

[@Mvader7]

Don’t apologize for your journey, bro. It’s yours and we’re just along for the ride. Watching your reactions brings me back to the 80’s when I was starting my journey. Keep it up!

[@rikihana3]

The late Mr Cliff Burton, on the bass is ,what your hearing in the background , absolute legend.

[@lordtrigon1733]

This is my number 1 favourite Metallica song, seeing them perform it in its entirety live in Melbourne was completely unexpected and one of the highlights of my life. Killer video, man. 🤘

[@thecrazynoemad]

Yea all those little mini solos you hear in the background and all that weird growling stuff, is all cliff burton on bass. The way the record was mixed, a lot of the amazing little things he’s doing throughout the whole track are really hard to hear because the guitars are so much more out in front but that’s all cliff. There’s a remastered version of the song where you can hear him better on all those little solos. He does some really wild stuff that I hadn’t noticed before. This song was definitely one of his babies. 🤘🏻

[@EkcotheBeholder]

All of their instrumentals are masterpieces. I love the Hanger 18 Riff from Dave

[@travprice3979]

It was the Call of Ktulu riff that Dave reclaimed for Hangar 18. He's used them all at various points

[@mrpog7156]

one of my favorites from Metallica. the feeling that there's a summoning going on, that there is something responding, is just perfect. after so many years, i still get chickenskin when the summoning is complete and ktulu is here at 00:11:15 ...such great vivid composing.

[@ezequielwolfshorndl594]

One of the best instrumentals of all time!!!

[@SailorJohnPresents]

My favorite small detail about the first 3 albums is the bass that Cliff would throw in during the songs. You always know he had a great part of each song.

[@antwebb5572]

Ooooh, this is the one I've been waiting for!!!!

man i havent heard this song for like 25 years............fucking amazing song that i forgot about, so glad you reacted to it bro

[@Defensive_Wounds]

The 2 sequel songs to this one are 'The thing that should not be' (from MoP 1986) and 'Dream no more' (from ...Hardwired to self destruct 2016.)

[@fewetoo]

You said that you are wanting to share this music with your friends and introduce them to the awesome stuff... That is why we are all here my boy! We get to see you reacting to the things that most of us have loved since before you were born... Seeing a young man like yourself blown away by our favorites does our heart good and reminds us what it was like to hear these fir the first time when we were young, and for some of us that was LONG AGO😂

[@cjjoe2385]

You are hearing new Metallica on KZbin. When we were growing up as kids, we would go to a lucky mates place who had just acquired it on cassette, normally bought by their parents, or bought with hard earned pocket money. We would also borrow each other’s cassette, hoping our players would not chew the tape. Pull the pencil out when needed, to respool it. Awesome days, very fond memories. Mates in metal 🤘
