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

[@TheBlackenedOne]

We laugh you scream and shout

[@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]

He wakes as the world dies screaming....

[@Vitericus1]

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

[@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

[@cadelk87]

One of the finest moments in Metal history

[@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.

[@kmvoss]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@tomspring213]

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 🤘🏼

[@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 🤟

[@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

[@Eric_Drav3n]

Hi Molly, Because of this, Ride the Lightning is Metallica's best album of their entire career.

[@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.

[@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!!!!!!!!!!

[@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.

[@ricsal245]

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

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

[@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!

[@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 🤘

[@vikusen1857]

There is one more instrumental they got. Suicide and redemption. It is pretty good.

[@ezequielwolfshorndl594]

One of the best instrumentals of all time!!!

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

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

[@rikihana3]

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

[@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 🤘

[@WhiplashJoe]

Goosebumps are coming...

[@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. 🤘🏻

[@AdrianVejar]

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

[@tomraider5933]

[@chrisnoble5969]

Music is memories. Make them as great as you can

[@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.

[@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.

[@KattMurr]

Kirk is such an amazing guitarist and sooooooooooo underappreciated....this album and "Master of Puppets" and "And Justice For All" helped me get through high school in the late 80's...(I graduated in 1990)

[@mikewold8996]

Cliff is definitely the architect here. Dude was so amazing. I always think what they would have sounded like if he didn't die. He was at the peak.

[@WurzelPummage]

The live version of this that they performed with the San Francisco Symphony on S&M 1 is just perfect

[@Vortigan_]

Funnily enough I was listening to it scrolling my youtube feed and then I see your video! Keep up with the Metallica Vids they are great!

The fact you are young and not from the era of Metallica greatness, the fact that it moves is exactly why music is life. I’m 53 and could take you back to the moment I put the needle down on RTL. Hope you enjoy the lifetime of memories. From an old metal head 🤘🏻 ps, go see them before it’s too late! For real. 😳

[@michaelernst3731]

A man gets into a small fishing boat and heads to sea to Disprove Ktulu. That he doesn't exist and all the fishermen are just crazy. As he sails out to sea looking for monsters, some times...Just Some times, they come looking for you. As Ktulu comes to the surface he brings a storm with him. He then chases the man back to shore where his boat crashes on to the rocks. The Man lays on the beach looking at the receding storm as Ktulu dives back into the depths of the sea. Then at the end the man rushes to tell people that Ktulu EXISTS !!!! and everyone looks at HIM likes He's Crazy.

[@nykterion7]

The apotheosis of minor key, most dark Metallica composition and one of the most dark intros in metal music ever. Fun fact 1: Dave Mustaine was inspired by Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”. Exact same chords, played differently. Fun fact 2: Mustaine used again the exact same chords a few years later on Megadeth’s Hangar 18. Cheers

Metallica’s guitar tone and vocals on the early albums is some of the best in metal. I understand James can’t sing like he did in the past but great vocals died after the Black album and Reload was the last album with great guitar tone even though I don’t like the Reload album. Probably won’t be long and you will be through every Metallica album and I’m looking forward to hear your thoughts album to album.👍🏻🤘🏻Great reactions!

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

Honestly, I miss the old Metallica simply because of the journey it took me on. I think Cliff was a huge influence on their music because of his knowledge of classical music. Back then, their songs had so much diversity that it was such a good ride. Of course they still had some of that later on, but it just wasn’t / isn’t the same as the old stuff. That musical journey, son. That musical journey…

Sooo glad you liked this song so much. I prefer this original off of "Lightning" but, you should still check it out live off of S&M. I believe it's the 1st song with the San Fransisco Symphony. By the way, that subtle lead that you were hearing in the background is Cliff Burton on his bass guitar. He was a genius & a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. He wrote this song
