Metallica - "Battery" Reaction

I hope you enjoy my reaction to Metallica
"Battery"! Please forgive that I completely butcher the name of the song in the viceo. I end up figuring it out, but be warned! Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thank you so much!

[@JP8Mate]

Every song on this album is amazing in their own way

[@stevenhenry5267]

No. Leper is just ok. The Thing That Should Not Not Be is the Song that Should Not Be as it is boring as fuck. And Damage Inc is immature and borderline dumb.

[@JP8Mate]

Yes that album is a masterpiece

[@oSileyCT-7212]

Not my fav Metallica album imo tho

[@cliffw1210]

Agreed!

[@Alfaqwad]

This was the first track I ever heard from Metallica. You couldn't remove the album from my stereo after that

[@jochencooper2751]

I'm still playing it to this day bro ,absolute masterpiece

[@razzorblade3135]

My first song too. 1986

[@razzorblade3135]

I listen to master of puppets pretty much every day. Slowed down a little since their new releases

[@_Boobear_]

I just bought the album on vinyl

[@lsu1992]

We all remember our first Battery.

[@thomasharris4942]

MOP was just an absolute monster of an album. It changed the metal/hard rock landscape forever. One of the GOAT albums.

[@GetzGoth]

I remember when it was released. This chick at school gave it to me (the album) for my 17th Birthday. This and Cirith Ungol’s One Foot In Hell. Had to sneak them into the house though. My Mother would have ripped my tiny pecker off if she knew I was listening to anything other than Stryper or Amy Grant. (Even Stryper was a stretch for her) Cheers!

Top 5 for all metal heads

[@robertovasquez1538]

NOW THINK BEING A TEENAGER LISTENING TO THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME BACK IN 80s. THIS ENTIRE ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE. YOU SHOULD DO "MASTER OF PUPPETS" WITH THE LYRICS. WELCOME TO THE METALLICA'S ARMY/FAMILY!!! 🤘🏼🎶 BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOUR VOICE 😁

[@mariobergermann1119]

"Where am I???" 👏😅 That was EXACTLY my reaction, listening to this masterpiece of metal (not only this opening song, but the whole album!) for the first time - I was fourteen years old, and this band changed my life forever!!! It was great watching your reaction here, thank you for sharing - hope to see more soon. Stay safe, greetings from germany...🤘

[@brettanomyces7077]

This is "Thrash Metal" with an awesome groove to it. My favorite style of music. Even better live!

[@tommyandersen4004]

That entire album is a masterpiece. Every single note, every single breath, a masterpiece. The live version of Battery from Seattle '89 is gold!

[@OrganicActing]

Always enjoy reactions from people new to Metallica (Metal/Thrash Metal). This was no different. Good job.

[@mickluchsinger486]

Battery was written about the bands fans they feed off of us we feed off of them. The battery is unstoppable. Nice reaction.

[@susanconstable2113]

This is song about being at a concert. It’s a tribute to where they started playing (battery street) and double meaning because a battery has a charge- they feed off the crowd and the crowd feeds off them. It’s the metaphor of being at a show. The line “can not kill the family” metallica calls their fans “the metallica family” this Al im is the first metal album placed in the library of congress for its musical and cultural significance. Every song is spectacular. Not the song from stranger things but it is on this album.

[@imrekalman9044]

I'm not a native speaker, started learning English years after becoming a Metallica fan ('91 and '94). Until looking it up rather recently I had no idea what this is about. Battery as in a car, or a battery as an artillery company "lashing out the action"? 😂

[@tasos0140]

This is one of the most unique reactions. Since it was a mishap, you ended up listeninig to a really hard, thrash song and you held up pretty nicely! You should listen to Master of Puppets now.

[@kevinqwen221]

Absolutely beautiful

[@michaelmurray3800]

Its a pretty funny reaction because her blunder. She clearly got swept up in the emotion of the track. That was great to witness.

[@LifeLongVillan]

Metalica just evolved into one of the greatest metal bands of all time & they just keep evolving 🤟

[@patricschoenaker]

Don’t you love it when someone discovers the awesomeness of (great) thrash metal and new metalheads are born😊

[@TheJohmac]

One of the things that I have really enjoyed about Metallica is the instrumental arrangement, with it's classical influence, and shredding guitar licks. It's chaos controlled, it's unbridled passion directed effortlessly in a synchronicity of sound and sensation. Poetry.

[@SwampusMcGarniglus]

battery on S&M is amazing in every way

[@petemcfadden3543]

Thank you Lars Ulrich

[@JohandeHakkelaar]

It was Cliff Burton who brought in these influences … the rest is history

[@petemcfadden3543]

@@JohandeHakkelaar Be surprised what influenced Cliff besides classical..he loved southern rock..and if you can believe it..R.E.M..Peter Gabriel..YES..The Police music so far removed from metal.In terms of influential bass players it runs from Geddy Lee ..Lemmy..Phil Lynott..Geezer Butler.He had real broad taste in music.

[@TheJohmac]

@@JohandeHakkelaar Not really, although he certainly contributed greatly, the whole band is incredibly talented. James and Kirk and Lurs all have made tremendous contributions.

[@farn451]

The entire album is a master piece. 13 year old me in a mini van family vacation in colorado in the late 80's hearing this for the first time on a cassette walkman. mind blowing.

You have to do the whole album. It was the first album to be put in The Library of Congress for its significance in music.

[@DAMAGEinc.056]

Just my opinion but this is the greatest Heavy Metal Album ever! Every song is amazing. Great reaction too. Halfway through the song you bit your lip and I thought...."yup, they got her. She likes it"😂👍

[@goldenruletv7301]

This was my first Metallica album....Then I backtracked to RTL and Kill 'Em All. R.I.P. Cliff Burton....he laid down a foundation for the guys that still resonates today.

[@dontreadonme5331]

"This made me feel something" 🤣 I feel that something everything I watch someone listening to my favorite songs for the first time 😁 Metallica is epic and this album was placed in the US congressional library. The next song on the album is the one you intended. New sub and I hope for much more metal

[@rowdyruffmojo]

One of my favorite memories in life ever is seeing MetallicA in 2003....they opened with Battery and hearing the intro on the speakers and transitioning to the live instruments was one of the most insane feelings and experiences!

[@AximandTheCursed]

[@ericwilson5453]

Yes!!! Love your reaction at the end. You made a sub. I wanna see where a fresh set of ears go. Plan to get some excellent recommendations.

Master of puppets would have probably been a better intro to this band but seeing as you accidentally dove head first into one of their thrasher songs with such glee I look forward to seeing more. Great reaction.

[@ImThe5thKing]

I mean Master of Puppets is a thrasher song lmao it's like 200 BPM. I do think MOP would have been a better intro to the band as it shows off more of their musical prowess with the harmonic part and the fact James and Kirk both have a solo, that kind of stuff

[@GunnerSG]

You have to react to the "LIVE in Seattle" video - to see them feed the audience and receive the energy of the audience is mesmerizing !!! New subscriber earned Kathryn !! looking forward to your journey experiencing them !!

[@GilbertClark]

Loved your reaction Kathryn and loved how into the song you got. Welcome to METAL (Metallica is considered Thrash Metal, but to me I don't care about sub-genres, it's all METAL to me). Plenty of Metallica songs to discover as well as other bands. My current favorite band that I started listening to a couple years ago (after 30+ years of nothing new getting my attention) is Jinjer. Their song Pisces (live session) is a great kickoff to them. No research, just listen and enjoy (will probably want to pull up lyrics for them, subtitles don't work). Subbed. Can't wait to watch you experience more.

[@angrydemonproductions4361]

This song is about where they’re from/started playing metal - Battery Street in San Fran where all the metal clubs were. Metal community was, and still is, concidered to be one large family so the line “cannot kill the family battery is found in me” refers to this… you mess with one, you mess with everyone within that community. Overall, great reaction & I, along with most here, have to reccomend you do either the full album or at least the title song ‘Master of Puppets’ (about drugs, specifically cocaine) or even ‘Disposable Heroes’ (about war).

[@bayareathrasher666]

Actually there were more clubs on Broadway in SF than Battery.. but yes here in the Bay Area we are one tribe..still

[@GrayNeko]

[@peterbailey4222]

The singer has come a long way over the years. If you check out some of the classic songs done live, like the S&M albums or anything more recent you'll see he's a fantastic vocalist.

[@stevenhenry5267]

Meh. Hetfield lost his growl in the 90s and has never been the same since.

[@carlgalilee7339]

@@stevenhenry5267 Agreed. Hetfield blew his voice back in the 90's due to no vocal training and relentless touring. He's taken lessons and adapted, but that edge is forever gone.

[@StrangeByChoice]

congratulations on discovering Metallica. "Welcome Home". you are now "Hardwired" to "Ride The Lightning" and experience the "Lux Æterna" of Metallica's career. "In The Eye Of The Beholder" the "One" way to "Cure" "The Unnamed Feeling" of needing more Metallica is to answer "The Call Of ktulu", like a "Moth Into The Flame", "Fuel" the "Metal Militia" and "Fight Fire With Fire" "Until It Sleeps", it will "Fade To Black", and only "The Memory Remains" "Through The Never". to ignore the feeling is "Unforgiven", becoming a "Thorn Within", leaving you an "Outlaw Torn" "All Nightmare Long" and "The Thing That Should Not Be" will consume and "Spit Out The Bone". It's "Sad But True". so, knowing "My Friend Of Misery" is the "Harvester Of Sorrow" and "For Whom The Bell Tolls" like "Creeping Death", a new fan can avoid the feeling of being "Trapped Under Ice" with no "Escape". Go ahead and "Hit The Lights", "Jump In The Fire" and "Carpe Diem, Baby". You will feel like the "Hero Of The Day" and not "King Nothing". And "Nothing Else Matters". Just don't get "Whiplash". "... And Justice For All"

[@spectrumaero3591]

Fucking awesome!!! You should get royalties for how well that was put together!! I'm now a "breadfan" of the "fuel" you put "into the fire"! She should definitely listen to more, or she will " fade to black" and endure a "blitzkrieg" before falling like an "outlaw torn" into a "green hell" with no "last caress". I know some of those are covers(wink), but they did them well!! Rock on and metal up your ass!!! (Not nearly as good as yours, but you inspired me to contribute...hope you're cool with it)

I remember listening to the whole album for the first time. My friend gave it to me on the cassete tape and I had pretty much the same reaction. I must've rewinded Battery twenty times and ONLY THEN I let it play to the next song... you all know what song is next on the album :) And then rewinded THAT SONG probably fifty times. There is a reason this album is in the Cogressional Library.
