Metallica - Master Of Puppets [Seattle] | First Time Reaction

[@InnaSoloMusic]

Thank you very much for watching! ❤️ I’ll see you guys on twitch.tv/innasolo

[@mztweety1374]

The first part was a tribute to their bassist Cliff Burton who died in a bus accident in 1986.

[@mikewold8996]

Total Cliff tribute for the intro! Every bass player knows he was frickin' good!

[@chrismathiason8277]

Cliff Burton was an amazing lead guitarist who played the bass guitar. Their current bassist is arguably just as good too.

[@lannystanfield7565]

"To Live Is To Die"

[@LeeVanCleef-hb1os]

In Sweden

[@Cosmictraveler71]

Rest in peace Cliff Burton you were the GOAT and always will be! You are sorely missed!

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

89-90 Metallica was a true force of power.... James aggressive side was unmatched on stage. This show is proof of that.

[@Seven50ml]

I loved Jason's vocals and crowd interactions. Great live performer

[@Shadownian]

Best and only bassist of Metallica for me.

[@MickDoolan]

@@Shadownian Robert is much better

[@marvcar]

@@MickDoolan I think all of the three bassists Metallica's had so far were great, each one in their own way

[@Shadownian]

@@MickDoolan Rob is a great musician and he seems like great guy. But...he doesnt fit Metallica. Hes really bad at background vocals. And his..crab walk just seems way out of place for Metallica. So yes hes a great musician...but Jason was too and he had great backing vocals..a great live presence and now with metallica kind of losing their edge they could use him to kick them in the backside. I feel..i dont know but i feel like Jason would have more input on the music as well and Rob is just more...for the ride.

[@jamescoleman8954]

When I seen them on this tour in DC in 1989, Jason almost got taken out by the swinging light rig that they had when the stage kind of blew up special effects crap but he like reached out for an almost took him out

[@Ranadicus]

The first couple of minutes, while they're sitting on the stage together, is actually part of 'To Live is to Die' from the ...And Justice For All album, which was written as a tribute to late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. When they jump up and the music hits is when Master of Puppets actually begins. The song itself is about addiction and dependency with the lyrics revolving around the subject of drug addiction, hence the middle soft interlude which invokes a feeling of soaring up away from the world as the subject of the song gets high before the instrumentation takes on an ominous and sinister tone as our addict crashes back down.

[@sundflux]

More precisely, to live.. is a collection of cliff's music from his riff tapes

[@timswanson2118]

Great song. I'm going through all that right now with alcohol. Check out fade to black another great song

[@Niziurek]

Make a tribute album to bassist. Tune down the bass.

[@wompa70]

They’ve written some incredible songs. So deep lyrically. So complex musically.

[@tannhauser5399]

@wompa70 - Cliff Burton... and it is amazing that at that time, first couple of albums+, they were all guys barely above 20 years old. Young guys. The albums "Master of Puppets" and "Ride the Lightning" = think of drugs, and the lyrics and songs become much clearer too, with much deeper meaning.

[@rademilf]

You pay attention to the text. Hetfield has written an extraordinary work from the point of view of being a drug that wants to control a man, taking over his thoughts and life only to finally kill him. There is probably no more direct message - don't take drugs because they will kill you. Imagine that they play this piece in every concert to this day, and there are well over 50 of these concerts every year. This is the power of influence.

[@patrickmelhorn793]

The current tour is the only time they won't play it every time. But a perfect message, to the point

[@jamesgriffith1970]

Their best live performance ever! Papa Het was in a mood 🤘🤘

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Absolutely ❤❤

[@metalmamasue3680]

I still love Harvester Of Sorrow live from Moscow. 😎🤘

[@gabebolton4604]

I absolutely love the lyrics in this song. He’s talking about the perspective from drugs. Once you get hooked and a use them. The control your life. “Obey your master” “the master of puppets is pulling your strings” “your life burns faster” Other songs you should react to are One, Faded to Black, and Sad But True

[@arryshahnawazrasendria4974]

The best Metallica Master of Puppets performance in Metallica history 🤘🤘🤘

[@2011manbeast]

I saw this tour back in the day. I still get chills every time I watch the guys play this intro

[@johnsouthwell1869]

They were/are amazing live - I saw them in 1991 and holy crap

[@metalmamasue3680]

So did I, I was up in the pit and I swear, I was right by a huge stack of Marshall amps. My ears rang for days 😂 I have miId hearing Ioss from aII the metaI shows I've been to. I regret nothing 😎🤘

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

To live is to die at the beginning makes it even more perfect ❤

[@TheSkeezix1]

This one is good, but if you want to hear a clearer and more enhanced version of Master of Puppets, I recommend the S&M version. San Francisco symphony with Metallica. Released in 1999.

[@tyler-the-german]

jason with the best haircut of the 80s and 90s

[@Nosferata138]

James has one of the best laughs i have ever heard.

[@Rico.at.50]

The lyrics are really interesting, being about drug addiction from the perspective of the drug. A metal classic!

[@hthe620110]

Anything can be your master.

[@treintje1001]

@@hthe620110 Yes, but this song is not about anything. This song is specifically about drugs and nothing else.

[@JariJuslin]

In an interview in the 1990s James said that while this song was about drugs, it could well have been about their own alcohol use. They just didn't realize it back then until their bodies came crashing down and they went to therapy together.

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

@@treintje1001 you don't get the meaning of the song then. Yes, the lyrics make reference to drugs, but it can be looked at differently.

[@TheLukio]

@@JariJuslin Well ...alcohol is a drug. The "Master" refers to any drug or addiction.

[@Jar.in.a.Bottle]

The meaning of Master of Puppets is not always discernable upon first listen, especially live. You might already know this but, just in case, I'll point out two phrases in the lyrics that will help in understanding what the song is actually about..."Viens pumped up with fear" and "Chop your breakfast on a mirror". So, the unwanted "Master" in the song is...?

[@patrickbateman7369]

I call bullshit!! I have watched alot of reactors simply read the lyrics and understand it

[@metalmark1214]

The entire Master of Puppets album is about control. This song is talking about how drugs control you.

[@MrApmech]

It’s about cocaine.

[@figu6ka379]

Ride is about death, Puppets is about control and Justice is about... well... justice

[@metalmark1214]

@@figu6ka379 Yep, that's the themes of those albums.

[@KreshDraven6]

To this day, still their best show

[@TheRomanChronicals]

To this day!

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

"Creeping Death" & "Harvester of Sorrow" live Moscow are even better than Enter Sandman! You might want to add them to your list, friend? ✌🌎❤

[@vals_loeder]

It has taken me a loooooong time learning to appreciate heavy metal but I have finally managed.

[@SniperHK01]

Excellent concert! Good choice!! If you want more crowd interaction watch Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" live in Argentina. 🤘😎

[@vadymkvasha4556]

Good choice of the concert, it was legendary (same as previous, monsters of rock with 1.6 m people)

From this same concert there is a song called "The Thing That Should Not Be"... It's awesome. It's also based off of the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

[@arnepietruszewski9255]

You want another song you will not be ready for? Slayer - Angel of Death. Very few people are/have been ready for this when they hear it for the first time.

[@timbunker4061]

This brings back good memories. I was at this concert.

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

One of the most legendary gigs ever

[@kingquad6677]

He was 22 when he wrote this album!...... thank you James

[@LuGer212]

that "WAKE UP, F**K" scream of James always gets me. The energy in that venue must have been incredible.

[@daleowen2606]

The "Master of Puppets" they referring to is drug addiction. They have a very famous softer song called "Nothing Else Matters" you would probably enjoy

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

The intro is from "to Live Is to Die" an instrumental dedicated to Cliff Burton

[@tonyak8354]

Before Puppets, the way they sat down for To Live is to Die, very mellow, then launching straight into Puppets here...like a missile barrage! GO!!!

[@destroyertack]

This is what we should broadcast into space for the aliens

[@TinjaniRayaick]

This is probably the best concert I ever seen them do! Fade to black was just out of this world

[@jamescoleman8954]

Metallica was the first band I ever seen live 1989 And justice, for all tour. I think this is from the same tour , Queensrÿche opened for them

On Hetfield's guitar is EET FUK - originally "EET FUK SLEEP" - Hetfield's favorite activities. There is only EET FUK, because there was no room for a third word

[@TiesOfZip]

This is the best version of the song to react to. The Seattle show was a different experience

[@TravisEmmons-w8n]

This was when metal peaked! justice was the best album they ever did and james was in his prime here. james was the baddest man on the planet at this point. METALLICA was PEAK metal

[@impolaris1398]

What's written on the guitar?? It's "EET FUK"

[@JStephens_73]

Of two bands that are my absolute favorite bands to listen to, the other band being Nightwish, Metallica is one that I have been listening to since the '90s and I'm happy that other people are getting to experience their music just I have through all these years.

[@CrumblexEloi]

I see you like early Metallica, how about an all-female band that plays just as well if not better? Lovebites - Break The Wall - Shadowmaker live kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ_LqIlvlLGVjc0

They are legendary still going strong to this day!

The beginning kinda gets me every time. To live is to die. RIP Cliff Burton

[@carlosbarahona5158]

Yess Seattle live, i hope that in the future you react to "the four horsemen" or "battery" from this same concert

[@randyschafer4135]

Metallica " ONE " would knock your socks off !!!!

[@jipaksi]

Thanks for nice reaction! Love to see people enjoying when they hear Metallica first time. And as you noticed, lyrics often have a meaningful story behind, so it's good to think of them while listening. And they really offer nice transitions in their songs. Some recommendations, trying to get broad view of their musical perspective: - Fade to Black. Heavy and beautiful ballad with deep sad message, one of their classics. Studio version is excellent to hear the guitar solo fully, as it's voted high on some best guitar solo ever votes. But many live versions are good option too, for example Lincoln 2018. - One. Classic reaction song in youtube. Also has good changes and transitions of different types of feelings, and tells very tragic story. Has many good live shows, for example Ireland 2019 is a good recent choice. - The Day that Never Comes. Just don't go for official music video, it distracts too much and is not so connected to song's story. Better to choose live version, for example from Quebec Magnetic show. - Battery, from this same concert as this video, Seattle 89. This really shows their energy and fast trash style during their young prime times. - Ride the Lightning, for example live Boston 2022. From 2nd album, title song. - And from their album from this year, Screaming Suicide, very fresh live concert on April 27 2023, just few weeks ago. They are still going strong :) Enjoy your Metallica journey!

[@vibingwithvinyl]

Up until 3:15 it's a different song called "To Live Is To Die" or part of it anyway.

[@p4our587]

I love how people pick a version of this song (live) that this young lady will never want to hear again. If it's requested enough… sure. … but of her own free will, she will never want to hear this mess again. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. (Yes… I went there!) I'm so happy that some people think that just because they like a certain version of a song played live… it’s because they fell in love with the original studied version… and it’s that version that we all compare it to when it's played live. How close it is… ? How precise they are…? How close they sound to the studio version…? … because we have veteran ears to this music… we want a new person to listen with the same experience under their belt. This is not the case. I'M WILLING TO BET… that through the first half of the song, she couldn't begin to tell you how the main riff went. She couldn't tell you a melody. This is obviously not her fault. It is yours. The people that insisted on her listening to a live version as if she understood it already. She just hadn't 👂 the actual song. You guys make the world go around. You very intelligent beings… you've done it again! 🙄😵😖😣🤢🖕 To the lovely host… I think you are great. You have no fault in this. To be clear… I subbed because I liked some other reactions that you had. These fools gave you a horrible example of this beautiful song. Listen to the studio version… you'll get what I mean. Easily. Thanks, for sharing!

[@timothyrenar5498]

Enter Sandman wouldn't be a bad choice because it's more mainstream and maybe more up your alley. Either versions are good so you can do the video or their live performances.

[@nanns77]

Nice choice and great react, Inna. This song have a best lyric about drugs ever.

[@keithkerr4167]

The lyrics in this song was about cocain , they toured with Ozzy for a while when this song was wrote ...

[@renantrudes7025]

Metallica's best concert

[@dustinplatt6882]

I wish my parents decided to get drunk and have accidental sex like 10 years before I was technically born in 1985, so I would have been old enough to go to Metallica in Seattle for one of their best concerts ever. Damn you parents for being responsible... well, not really. They still had me by mistake.

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

I love this song, they are so damn talented, but the lyrics are important for the context The song is split into 3 parts for a reason and it is the story it is telling, the song is about addiction, the "master of puppets" is drugs and the song is a warning for drugs The first part is how u fall for the drugs and it gets a stronger grip of u over time, the second part is all the years that seemingly drift by as u are numbed by the drugs, the third part is the desperation u feel when u realize u can't get out

[@qbasicmichael]

Peak metallica.

[@baddgoat85]

For listening to any complex song by Metallica I highly recommend listening to the studio version before listening to the live version, because with the crowd and being filmed you miss a lot of the musical genius behind the song.

[@dmp23wnk.]

It's something that I have to tell you about in a lot of live KZbin reviews. It can be a big difference between knowing a little bit about their studio album and treating them live and talking about how they feel about Metallica for the first time.

[@2strokinit527]

Heads up this song is about drugs and addiction and how it becomes your master and more is all you need. The slow instrumental in the middle is high, then it gets hard again which is the crash or hangover.

[@patrickbateman7369]

TURN THE VIDEO VOLUME UP!!!!

[@leoralev2416]

You really need to turn your volume way up. This is metal. You need to feel the energy to realize

[@TraditionalVibe]

You’re right about the “vibe” because what they do is more than noise - it’s real, comes straight from the soul and can’t be faked… people always pick up on that

I saw this tour in Virginia Beach, Queensrych opened for them (I was 15, I'm 50 now) James would write things on tape on his guitar. The 'EET FUK' was toward a woman's V*gina (boys will be boys) He'd also write 'KBJ' for Kill Bon Jovie (not litterally, just saying slow rock sucked.) They're STILL going STRONG!

Most of Metallica's songs are critical songs, criticizing the developing situation, they (Metallica) even criticize the policies of the government system. unlike others, most of the love songs are sappy.

[@seanmartin1308]

During this heavy metal journey, you need to look into one of the most influential bands and guitarists of all time, PANTERA and the legendary late great DIMEBAG DARRELL. I'd start with cemetery bags. The solo will speak for itself as so almost all of dimes solos. PANTERA is responsible for a new genre called groove metal and Darrell is regarded as one of the best of all time. Even from Eddie van Halen himself which is why Darrell is buried with Eddie's original bumblebee guitar from the first Van Halen album. Eddie said dime is an original so he deserves an original.

[@kevinsimpson8336]

That intro is not normally part of the song, but it sure was a great little intro, whatever it was... It sounded like a bit of To Live Is To Die, maybe an early excerpt of Unforgiven (before it was actually written)...

Great reaction video! However, if I may, I’d like to suggest you increase the output volume on the music channel., or alternatively, add a compressor to your vocal channel so that when I turn up the music to try to hear it more loudly, you don’t also get equally loud, so that your voice is not dominating the performances.
