I'm so happy with you guys. I grew up with a racist father, or still am. It seems like he is right about everything, he was very good with mechanics and etc.. You guys prove it wrong. I really like you guys. You are so open. I showed my dad the a couple of videos of yours and my dad said these guys are cool, and you are smart and would like to hand with you. Anyways, my point is youtube videos could cure racism.

[@stevenrose1438]

Thank you!! So true

[@rogervault6082]

Its not even minimalistic his drumming is very complex. Just cause he doesnt fill every 2 measures, doesnt mean he cant play complex patterns and rhythems!

[@liammwilliams95]

First time I’ve ever seen someone get so hyped about it though!

[@WAZZA1235]

He does!?!?! In my opinion metallica is one of the rare groups where the drums arn't some kind of background instrument. Drums almost always act in the background of a song, but with Metallica, it seems to me that the drums steal the show sometimes.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

You guys gotta hear what we heard back in the day , Metallica was another thing live , faster , louder ,so much aggression. Proof is in the link below. Fight Fire with Fire Hammer Festival 85 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Lcm4aldpylbM0 Entire concert here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DPmZ-ZZp6Nm7M

[@rickdeckard2240]

The drum parts on the black album, as well as Kirk's solos, are genius. It's not crazy technical, it's slower than their previous albums, but Lars and Kirk were at the top of their game on this album. And James vocals, man, just wow

[@robertevenson5686]

Imagine how good metallic would be if the just let any other thrash bands drum tech take Lars spot.

[@kristasawyers5285]

For me, as a recovering addict, I’ve always thought the narrator of the song is my addiction talking to me. You guys are awesome!

[@ConvD59]

Wow, talk about hitting the nail on the head. The first part is James' inner voice talking to him about addiction. Hope things are well for you, you are stronger than you think. Rock on, Metallica forever \m/

It’s great but that cold eerie metallic alien wintery wind feel that Call of Ktulu has is just incredible. As well as TL is TD

[@paulwalsh2344]

"Orion" is instrumental magic. And if you know the story of Orion, the hunter, then the whole vibe is so perfectly encapsulated in that song without a single word. The tough, invincible hunter, stalking his prey. The defender of his position from jealous, younger contenders. The provider of food and all the pu$$y back in camp that that attracts. Then repeat, over and over. Wicked.

Lars has talked a lot about how he wanted the black album to have a groove to it with the drums, he also mentions during a 1990 interview how he was really into hip hop at the time. It's so cool to see how you guys note that real groove and hip hop feel with the drums. Love the reaction guys, has given me a different view of the song from your perspective. :D

[@jhamilton1007]

@@Salomon_G It's the "bop" like George mentioned, that gives off a little Hip Hop vibe. Yes, it's also influnces by the simplistic style beats of AC/DC, but AC/DC had the groove with no bop. Sad But True has both.

[@retroslays5546]

What I love most about this song is the fact that they let it breathe. It comes hard and fast and then gets dead silent for a couple seconds then comes back. It's so intoxicating and makes you crave it until it returns. So awesome! Favorite Metallica song!

[@Liam-fs5fe]

Jp Turner why?

[@danglenzig]

Lars is not the riffmeister of Metallica. Neither the strongest musician æ. But without hes structure of doing things. Managing the band. Always on the phone. Specially in the early days. Puling strings. Making connections. James would probably end up in a basement band. Kirk would still play in Exodus. And Cliff would probably still live. Being a old music hippie teacher in the forest. Living day by day paycheck. But thrash metal without Lars would probably be an underground scene as Black Metal. Still good, but seen as an oddity from other than the fans. Still that would be a good thing.

[@PastHisPrime336]

I agree with stopping and talking about each segment. It's a true review/reaction. I love your break downs and your reflections as they occur in real time.

[@MateuszStrybel]

First line says it all: "Hey, I'm your life" meaning its your life talking. The only true. You can have your shadows, masks, lies, pains etc, but inner you, your life, it's always there. No different personality. Inner you. Yourself

[@samhouston1979]

the lyrics largely talk about James Hetfield the singer's alcoholism and how it lead his life

[@ibrahimkane]

Also master of puppets

[@Salomon_G]

@@ibrahimkane MOP is about James seeing a heroin junkie and his dealer at a party.

[@guyroxorz]

This song is actually about religion and blind faith. Just fyi. I've been a fan of metallica for nearly 20 years now and own everything they've every produced. Trust me. However you are right that master of puppets is about addiction, specifically to cocaine. (Cut your breakfast on a mirror)

[@travisthompson9554]

Interesting perspective. I always thought it was talking about one's conscience.

[@guyroxorz]

@GOLDBOND vs BALLS Hetfield has said this is what it's about, a film gave him the idea.

[@albbeaner0316]

Actually Lars sucked at the beginning. He wasn't really good at drums, but learned quick, to his credit.

[@mikemugs7]

I believe the song is about addiction. Its his inner voice speaking to him and influencing his thoughts and actions. Great video, you guys have a great chemistry.

[@MichaeltOuHeR]

Genghis Khan a person & their conscience. Agree w/u 100%!

[@jessicametal7796]

Yeah around this time the whole band was drinking vodka like it was water. I also recall them having "fun" with cocaine too back in the day. So this song is all about how addiction makes you take on a different personality, and how you hate it and yourself for it, but can't stop it.

[@TheMrWaffelyum]

I like the stipped down melody, feels like its a represtentation of the man the song is about. Stripped down to the bown. And the heavy drums just beats the message in HARD.

[@neanderthor66]

I always thought it was just the Faustian seduction and inevitable betrayal by the devil. I never thought about it from the perspective of addiction.

[@Bolaz]

Genghis Khan this song is about how the real James Hetfield is not the same person you see on stage or out in public. If you dig around there's interviews where he talks about it.

[@naranjosaurus4778]

The lyrics talk about depression, the singer embody that 'inner person' that is depression who constantly tells you that you are the guilty, the weak one, and mainly that no matter what you want or how you feel because depression takes over that and you end up obeying it (Ex: You're my mask, you're my cover, my shelter). So it's like depression itself who is singing to the real person, reminding him that he is not the one in charge, not the one who takes decisions on his life despite what he really wants, (Ex: 'i'm your life, i'm the one who took you there', 'do my work, do my deeds, for you're the one who's shamed'). It's a bit hard to get if you haven't dealt with that kind of issue, but it totally defines it in an amazing way (I've never heard a song explaining depression so well).

[@iizseksi6661]

Not "Depression." You're close but not close at the same time.... ***Subconscious mind*** .. out of all the comments i've seen you are the closest with your statement of "Inner person". You however relate it to depression as a projection because you can relate meaning you are or have been very depressed at some point.. you're close..... But think deeeeper. And well written. Cheers.

[@naranjosaurus4778]

Thanks i guess. Maybe 'depression' is no the full statement, but what do you mean then?

[@mickys333]

Naranjosaurus Rex, the singer has actually said he wrote it about addiction but also said that you can relate it to a lot of different things (like the ego, depression, etc...) since that is the beauty of music. I, like you, also related it to depression and the ego, so i don't think the band would say your interpretation is not valid.

[@benjamincampbell3361]

I related to the song in that subject matter for a long time ( i find it to be a common theme)...But he states its more to do with alcohol...the part of drinking when youre the hole.

I JUST found you guys, so I don’t know if you’ll be reading something from this far back. I LOVE your stopping to comment!!! You’re the first reaction channel, and I watch 2 others, that delve into lyrics as well as the music! As a singer songwriter and appreciator of absolutely all types of music, I don’t think enough people realize that especially in older music, the lyrics were equally as important to how they sang it, played lead on it, and gave it meaning. In the ‘70s, we used to sit in my friends basement and the album jackets always had the lyrics. We would listen to the music and then we would analyze what all the lyrics were about. It was almost like a book club in that way. And I never listen to any music since without being aware of how the words are portrayed in the music. Bravo to you guys! Can’t wait to hear more 🤗

[@irishpatriot2474]

The way I interpret this song is that he's done something really wrong, his conscience is speaking to him, telling him that the memories of what he did that are so mind blowing that he doesn't either realize or understand that he's the one who did it and he needs to own up to it, basically it's sad but true, it really was you, he did something that he couldn't imagine nor see himself doing, it took a lot of convincing and his conscience was laying it all out to him once he in a sense woke up and was like who did all this, and his conscience which is basically himself in a rational mindset telling himself "I'm YOU", answering the question, it was like his conscience confessing and then saying that he's describing himself. Sorry for rambling but I believe you know what I'm saying with my interpretation of the song, I'm a longtime fan of Metallica and you guys are great at the reactions and your opinions of the music you review, keep it going and stay 💯

I discovered Metallica over 35 years ago along with my metalhead friends. We pledged our allegiance to metal because of them never knowing "our" band would rocket to global dominance and last as a rock standard thru almost 40 years! Its awesome seeing u discover the band that was not only the soundtrack of my youth, but literally the voice of my generation and ur gen x angst. Yes they are awesome but more so they are truly gifted musicians that rightfully have a place in history for the musical masterpieces they create. Honestly im in awe of the talent in this band today, because as a teen...i just liked the raw emotion of the songs. But yes, ill be banging my head to Metallica till the day I die!

Glad to see hip hop heads understand, Metal heads mock Lars often. Yes he's a d**k irl, and yes he's no Gene Hoglan, but the man can lay down a groove. So many drummers in metal don't even have comprehension of the concept.

[@jmhaces]

It's funny how the general consensus among metalheads changed, isn't it? I remember when Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All came out and everybody raved about Lars' drumming. These days "Lars Ulrich can't drum" and "Kirk Hammett only knows the pentatonic scale" are jokes that have been driven to the ground. I can't fathom that there's people out there who honestly claim Metallica's playing sucks.

[@roadvirus1929]

I love how you said you pause the music as youre receiving it. Like mana lol. Love what you guys do!

[@keith32482]

Y'all don't need to justify your format. This is the 4th video I have watched so far and I enjoy it!

[@justinwhite5115]

I'm loving this stuff guys. I'm a metal guy, fell in love with it as a kid and seeing your reactions brings me back to the first time I heard those songs. I'd love to hear you review an older metallic song, especially Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, or In Justice For All. Bit what is really love to see you review is a Lamb Of God song. If you haven't heard anything by them yet please check it out. I suggest starting with Blood Of The Scribe, Now You've Got Something To Die For, or Ghost Walking. CHEERS!

[@johnlake4809]

I think your commentary is thoughtful, insightful, and respectful. Keep doing you

[@stephenlawson3071]

Keep it up, you're doing just fine. Your musical intellect shines as much as the content. You guys and Whatitdo are my top two reaction channels

[@gmclarenful]

Hetfield is talking about booze and his constant troubles with it. There is also the inspiration from a movie, but he is ultimately talking about his addiction to alcohol.

[@josemarques2373]

Graham McLaren got agree with you.

[@Bjarki2330]

Guys...I know this is a lot to ask. I have loved Metallica ever since it was first shown to me by my mom and dad back in probably around 98-99....well, I've got this special request. I'm fairly certain it won't get any attention, but you never you unless you try! I just saw your video on Holy Wars and me and my girlfriend love you, you guys are fun and intelligent and we think it's awesome how open you are to music....it's actually inspiring. My request is special, but I bet once people who like Metallica and metal in general see it, they'd agree. The video/song my wish would be to see is "The Thing That Should not Be" live in Seattle '89 You guys would love it...it's heavy, the text is grim and deep and the live performance makes the song incredible.

[@evanlorenzen7482]

Bjarki2330 omg yes please

[@zorinakellogg64]

I love the pausing and feed back it's discussing what is going on bringing out the intricacies of the songs that are catching and a noted emotional impressions ..Very cool.

[@mickharrington7376]

You guys are FIRE. Your reaction videos are my favorite. Please keep doing them.

[@louielouie22]

Don't change a thing fellas, there are times you guys comment at the worst possible times lol but its what made me a fan Its what you do so no worries.

[@adzari]

Love the videos guys.. and I think James was talking about alcohol and substance addiction. Read it somewhere he was talking about his battle with his demons after going sober. More Metallica reviews fellas 🤘🏼

[@tawfiqalqeisi3320]

watching your videos is like listening to music with a best friend. Thank you very much

[@kennethturner8290]

This was one of the songs from the Black album that really sold it for me. Blasts really nicely while driving.

[@missjensen1972]

You guys put "Master of Puppets" in a whole new perspective for me.... Your great... Thx for Your uploads :)

Metallica - Welcome Home Metallica - Fade To Black

[@kolbee911]

I seen alot of reaction videos but you guys are the best...funny, and real...and you both really listen to the music and lyrics...sometimes I just vibe on a songs melody but dont care to interpret what its about...you guys break down songs on the first time that I never did hearing it hundreds of times.

[@tercerocastero]

I agree with you guys, there's a lot of reactors that play through and rock out and don't really say much. That's fine, I enjoy them too, but really love hearing what you think as the song is playing and even going back to heard parts. Keep on rockin!

[@Varlwyll]

I like that yall pause in the middle

[@citizenshane9919]

"Thor with the hammer, every fkin stroke"hahah

[@ianmurphy8225]

There's a song on "Load" called "King Nothing" that has a similar "swing and crunch". You'd LOVE it.

[@jph595]

One of my faves

[@spackle9999]

So fun to groove on while playing it. Simple too.

[@elio6861]

i never saw anyone talking about that song at all, weird couse its so good

[@jasoncoble9642]

Love what you guys do. Never stop!!!

[@Lance37a]

The production on that album is great.

[@deeznutz4962]

you guys have restored my faith in the music listening world...im an old ass drummer from the 80's so most of these metal songs i know....you guys rule...new sub here

[@Kevskevskevskevs]

You guys are the best music reactors here on KZbin. I love the way you analyze the lyrics and talk about the melody of the music. Keep it up and more power for both of you. Request: Any song from the Ramones (how about some punk music huh?) Hehehe.

[@joehager3607]

I like the commentary guys! Keep doing what your doing! Metallica rules!!

[@vannacee26]

I love this band so much, I could eat them up! Other suggestions for more raw Metallica if I may? Enjoy!! :) -Blackened -Creeping Death (best to listen to a live video for awesome crowd interaction-Die! Die! Die!) -Disposable Heros

[@zebulonswearingen1593]

Tallyca Hamulhetru "Blackened" is good.

[@sicnotch]

Live version of battery

[@jaymooooo]

seattle 1989 live version of Creeping Death! Jason ftw!!!

[@Chris-dr8ri]

When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

[@kilgoretrout3966]

You hit that one, spot on, +Chris Miles. Then again, Zep lifted most of their first 3 LPs from Blues Artists, calling it pure influence, but so many are obvious direct theft, such as the great Blues Song, "Killing Floor". They played it live as a cover of "Killing Floor", then recorded it under the title: "The Lemon Song."

[@chuckrusso2131]

Chris Miles it’s about time someone else suggested zeppelin!

[@sweettee125]

Dazed n confused

[@spammenot1750]

I second that. That awesome drum beat also was used in Ice-T's "Midnight". "Immigrant Song" woud also be a great raw Zep song.

[@nickpitruzzello6762]

The lyrics speak to man’s dual nature. When you come to a decision and you ask yourself what to do, who are you actually asking? In the end of the song it’s simply explained “I’m you”

[@wraith1117]

From one to another. I absolutely love that you include "Free Thinkers" in your intro. Good on you :)

[@templeoftheslavegarden]

I think Sad but true had to do with when James was drinking and this how he felt after he got sober for this record. At least when I saw an interview years ago when Metallica was explaining the influence Bob Rock (who produced the album) had while producing the album. Bob Rock apparently wanted James to dig deeper to get more autobiographical with his lyrics. It's amazing! This is my favorite song off that album. It's sooooo good!

[@deadnfine77]

andreagail83 James didn't get sober till after st. Anger album.

[@templeoftheslavegarden]

oh yea... you're right , so that's why St. Anger sucked lol

[@laszlodajka9914]

My idea is based on some info I read about them revealing how they felt after losing Cliff. Like up until that day they had thought they are strong, but after the tragedy they were broken inside, yet with the 'And Justice for all...' they had to pretend being still unyielding like rock stars should do. That may be the mask. only my guess.

[@EVILIVE245]

László Dajka I'm not positive of when the final lyrics were written but this song, riff and most of its arrangement were being demoed in 1985 while Cliff was still in the band and they were writing "Sad But True" apparently the song was a lot faster legend has it: Bob Rock encouraged the reduced tempo and tuning.

[@cadenjerome5258]

andreagail83 this was made in 1986 and this album is in 1991 so it wouldrbt be possible they made this for master of puppests

[@MrWrathchilddd]

Blackened

[@Johnjohno666]

Correct, the best Metallica song.

[@joshuaslomba971]

Agreed, I can't say it's their best, but I went fucking nuts hearing blackened as a kid

[@roaringviking5693]

Yeah, their best song!

[@brisket1244]

I saw your video in my recommendations, and now I’m a metal head, thank you.

[@eamfos]

It's good to pause and say your opinion..i like it..Keep on rocking..!!! Greetings from Greece / Hellas.
