HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Metallica - No Leaf Clover' | GENUINE REACTION

[@houdin654jeff]

Listen to this whole album! It’s fucking amazing. This is one of two original songs they put in the concerts, and easily the more successful of the two, but pretty much every part of it is worth listening to… or watching if you can get the video version. Songs flow from one to the other in places, it starts with the orchestra playing a Sergio Leone song “The Ecstasy of Gold” that Metallica always plays before walking on stage, then goes straight into “Call of Ktulu” followed immediately by “Master of Puppets.” And that’s how the show STARTS. Listen to this album, to repeat it.

[@avoncalling7886]

YES!!!! Metallica + Orchestra = Eargasm

[@Defensive_Wounds]

It is one helluva aural stimulation you could say...

[@RichR1973]

Outlaw torn and. Bleeding me from the same concert please 👍🏻 awesome power 🎸

[@chilledaussie7666]

Hell yes 🤘😎🤘

[@Ranganation]

These are an absolute must! 🤟🤟

[@yumegd2625]

these two tracks are also amazing in the original version

[@nitrospidergaming7394]

I don't think he's listend to the original. If i remember correctly, James solo at the end gets drowed out a bit by the orchestra

[@shanevaters1615]

Bleeding Me was written for this concert... They didnt know it at the time, but it was

[@tonygonzales3206]

I was a concert musician and a drummer and a huge metal head and in 1999 when they did this it blew me the fuck away. Everything I ever wanted.

[@Tennessee968]

Its beautiful in every way.

[@tonygonzales3206]

@Tennessee968 To me it's the apex of music.

[@pierregauthier3077]

Not many people realize that metal is structured exactly like classical music. Check out Metallica S&M album

[@Tennessee968]

Facts. A lot of people don't realize this.

[@computersurgeon_]

Classical is a hundred times more complex

[@oldb12]

I had suspicions on that the I looked up for Metallica covers in classic instruments. Then I was 100% sure of their musical IQ.

[@pierregauthier3077]

@@oldb12 have a listen to Metallica S&M

[@glenseivers8318]

Awesome work MB. The Outlaw Torn off S&M is legendary bro.

[@Levi-ou2zm]

You would love Whiskey in a Jar. One of my favorites is Until it sleeps.

[@RipTorn7]

Until it Sleeps' music video is a work of art!

[@omgbeardriving]

​@RipTorn7 I can still see it in my head shot for shot thanks to MTV playing it every 30 mins 😂

[@QuiritareMovieDatabase]

1. Yep, Original. 2. The collaboration between Michael Kamen and Metallica began in an unconventional way and became a milestone for both classical music and rock. It all started when Michael Kamen, a renowned composer and conductor who had worked on film scores for movies like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, proposed the idea of doing something entirely new with Metallica. Kamen had already worked with them on the song "Nothing Else Matters," and one day James mentioned it would be nice to work together again. A few years later, Kamen approached them with the idea.

[@artsilva]

The Call of Ktulu is another MUST watch from this show. Make sure it's this original S&M show and NOT the more recent S&M 2

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

@artsilva Yeah, the better version of literally EVERY song that's on both releases is the S&M 1 version. I find the crowd way too noisy in the mix in 2, and James's voice was just objectively better in 1.

[@Ranganation]

@@BLSFL_HAZE And Jason of course... no disrespect to Rob as he fits in well and is good... but he just isn't Jason (obviously not Cliff too)

[@Magniumopus]

Yes!!!

[@bigstevej0460]

This song was written and arranged specifically for this concert. This is why its flawless

[@christinfriddell2703]

“One” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls” off the S&M album are phenomenal!

[@mikeg7547]

Omg I'm so excited to see this video because I've been hounding you for a year now to do this song. I already know you were blown away by how powerful it sounded and yet still had delicate sounds, it gave you goosebumps and probably brought a tear to your eyes.

[@Metal_Mary]

Same!!!

[@PikeBishop1]

Been commenting to do this song for months, because I knew it would illicit this exact response. This is the most underrated Metallica song, full stop. And yeah it is an original song by them, made specifically for S&M. Great reaction as always.

[@Uvmnelso]

Every single song on S&M is AMAZING!! You’ll never be the same after that album! GET BUSY…I’m so ready for you to do the whole album!! ❤️💕❤️

[@mattblatchley2061]

Metallica is always welcome!!!

[@Metal_Mary]

HELL YES!🤘❤️‍🔥〽️

[@FaithMarlow-b3v]

MORE Metallica!!

[@luillyzintzun3221]

Agreed!!!

[@rademilf]

When I went to the cinema with my non-metal friend to see Metallica S&M2 and James Hetfield sang Unforgiven III acapella, I saw this girl secretly wiping her tears. This is Metallica. That's why we love her. Be sure to see this performance

[@madman1366]

Michael Kamen literally wrote the textbook on music! He LOVED Metallica and heavy metal music. He said of all modern forms of music, heavy metal is the one that most closely resembles classical music.

[@chueysmama2622]

Preach it, madman!

[@janiepowell3218]

Michael Kaimen, the conductor here, conducted an orchestra with Queen. The song was Who Wants To Live Forever? for the movie Highlander

[@scottmatzeder9162]

Its a Freight Train Comin Your Way.....I LOVE this Metallica Banger!

[@Metal_Mary]

❤️‍🔥Yes!! I can't wait for you to see the S&M concerts!! You're gonna love it Dec!! Thank you Molls!❤️‍🔥😁🤘〽️

[@Eisenheim1191]

RIP Michael Kamen

[@Dunkingdom]

Still waiting for the Load reactions. The best area for James' vocals.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

The S&M concert is a real mind blower. I had this show on CD and i played it in its entirety almost every day. No Leaf Cover, Battery & Fuel are incredible

[@cmudd9788]

This is my favorite Metallica song. Glad you're finally getting to hear it. And yes, the whole S & M album is orchestrated. S & M is actually short for Symphony and Metallica. Also if you like the whole orchestra with metal thing then you should check out Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse (Live - Forces of the Northern Night).

[@janiepowell3218]

This song was composed BY Metallica FOR this concert. The reason Metallica meshes SO WELL with the orchestra is because they compose ALL of their music as a classical arrangement. That is the process they use THANKS TO LARS. He arranges most of the songs.

[@zwierzchnik]

I'm so proud to be going on this journey of discovery with you, DH💞 🎶Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way. Then it comes to be. Then it comes to be.🎶

[@chadstrope3681]

Anyone who doesn't appreciate Metallica needs to have their hearing checked. Great video my friend, keep it up...

[@jordiperez7688]

I've had the honor to sing and play this, one of my favorites songs ever, in front of a crowd that went absolutely wild even they didn't quite know the song. I almost choked up at the end and had to close my eyes and introspect while sing through those last harmonics, because those are one of my favorite music pieces of Metallica ever. I can't wait to sing it again some day. What an experience.

[@brianthom6798]

How does that work? Wouldn't you need an orchestra backing you? If so, how did you make that happen?

[@FaithMarlow-b3v]

The whole album is amazing

[@martinwhite3559]

This is a whole concert. It is awesome. Hearing your fav Metallica songs this way is amazing. Battery, One and For Whom the Bell Tolls are insane. They would never have done this in the 80s, but 90s Metallica was a different beast. If you want violins, then do A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. It is a crazy song. It's a Halloween type of song with violins, woodwind and brass instruments. It is strange at first but it is a masterpiece. The music video is wild but comes with a parental warning.

[@LindaAtchison-qi2fm]

I like the orchestra and the band playing together. Such a fullness that fills the song . I don't think i could ever hear it again without that powerful sound.

[@doug071173]

CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE YOU REACT TO SONGS YOU HAVE ALREADY REACTED DONE S & M STYLE!!

[@DawnsHhcg]

Watching your face and seeing true absolute joy listening to music is so amazing. ❤

[@mleb6095]

OMG,, the first time that I hear this... so happy I got to experience it with you. Thanks man ❤ that was beautiful 😊

[@yuritesticoff1141]

James' enunciation to the end of syllables from this era is second to none

[@mariapurnell1666]

I’ve watched and re-watched this SO many times and it hits EVERY SINGLE TIME. Papa Het kills it!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mck1505]

From a lifelong Aussie Metallica fan to a British Metallica fan...your reactions are unreal, they remind me of when I first heard these songs. These guys got me through some hard times in my childhood. So good to see they have the same effect on you bro 🤘

[@xtldc]

Watch the entire concert at some point - it’s epic. Also, I recall you really vibing with Kirk’s solo from The Thing That Should Not Be in your Master of Puppets album video - it sounds downright otherworldly during this performance.

[@charleshopp3920]

Oh yes, loved this one. You will LOVE Bleeding Me. Great video as always 👍🏻

[@vadymkvasha4556]

I do agree, Metallica is the best! Their ability to express emotions with music and vocals. I did not know English and already loved them, then I've learned the language and later read the lyrics - and fell in love again!

[@jesspayant1667]

It's awesome you checked this out. Now bare with me. I know St. Anger is NOT everyone's cup of tea, but listen to All Within My Hands (last song on the album, and I actually like it), then check it out from S&M 2. It's like listening to two different songs.🤘

[@yuritesticoff1141]

This album came out when i was a freshman in HS. Back then unless you read magazines you didnt know when music was coming out it just showed up at the store. I bought it on Thanksgiving break and when i got to this song it blew my mind, i listened to it over and over and over for weeks....by that time i was already obsessed with Metallica for years and this only increased that

[@Rockon92]

I freakin' love this concert!! Nothing Else Matters is also insane with orchestra!!! Love your reactions 😍🤘🏻

[@devinmetalfreak]

I recorded this whole concert on vhs back when it was on MTV and then eventually got it on dvd. I love this concert, and I have watched it so many times.

[@SpaceTiger90]

Original song made specifically with the San Francisco Symphony along with another song called Minus Human.

[@sublime130]

I'm glad you finally did this one. Great reacion. I've watched this one 3 times now. I knew you would love it. The next one I'm waiting for is, One Burbon, One scotch, One beer!!

[@WesselsReaper]

Bro, saw this reaction pop up on my feed…waiting till I got alone to crank this sucker up bc I knew it was gonna be good! As it’s been mentioned, BLEEDING ME, and OUTLAW TORN are absolute MUSTS to hear from this album

[@chriscrim751]

Such emotion....honestly brings me to tears....awesome song...

[@Emilie-one]

This is one of my favorite Metallica songs.. the addition of the orchestra is crazy good

[@luckyshark32]

Wow, I just randomly had this song stuck in my head all day, heck of a coincidence.

[@ladyunforgiven1]

Makes me emotional seeing u . Its what Metallica is. Incredible journey for years and years. Great to see u jump into this journey too. ❤❤❤

[@Brandon_Hisey_music]

I've been waiting for you to get to this song .....finally!!

[@stevegarrett8228]

Michael Kamen worked with Metallica on Nothing Else Matters, writing the string arrangements, I belive. He said he'd love to work with them again... 9 or 10 years later he arranged the orchestral parts for this whole concert, and conducted. The whole concept is a masterpiece, and this song shows how well metal and classical work together! I remember rushing out to buy the album and Dvd when it came out! Awesome!

[@ahorton6786]

I think that's some of James' best vocals ever ❤

[@stoic_master]

This is a life changing album, man. All the songs are incredible with an orchestra. A few good ones: Wherever I May Roam (the intro!), For Whom The Bell Tolls, Sad But True, Fuel, Enter Sandman...just to name a few. Haha

[@DaveMartin-h5o]

Thanks for doing this song bruv My favourite song of their later stuff 💯♥️🇦🇺

[@joatagewin]

This song gives me chills every time. You have to check out the whole DVD. Absolute perfection, %200

[@ReturnToTradition]

The other original song from that album is Minus Human, which I personally think is severely underrated. I've never seen a reaction to it.

[@EchoesDaBear]

GREAT reaction MollyBoy! Original song done for this album. Seriously - check out the entire album/video of S&M (Symphony & Metallica) - the marrying of an orchestra with Metallica's music is nothing short of magical and wonderful! Michael Kamen (RIP) expertly composed a perfect complement to their music! This is proof positive that music is a universal language, and that with some 'translation', it can be spoken at the same time! My ONLY gripe was that there was a few songs missing that I thought would be ideal for the orchestral treatment: Fade To Black and Unforgiven - they just scream for a full symphony to accompany! My wife (girlfriend when this came out) have listened to this countless times! We're both musicians that LOVE symphonic rock, but also metal - so this was bliss! They aren't the first. Deep Purple & The Moody Blues did it back in the late 60's - marrying orchestra with a 'rock' band, and they aren't the last. One year later (2000), the Scorpions released their own concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra - called Moment Of Glory - which is FANTASTIC as well! Metal and Classical DO go together!! Cheers.

[@ReturnToTradition]

This song is one of my examples of that era of Metallica actually being metal, and this song is one of the top 5 of that era without question.

[@ZipTieConnoisseur]

Ok, now that you've listened to this song, PLEASE listen to Fuel. It's been too long of listening to Metallica without hearing that song. It's one of the most energetic, upbeat Metallica songs of all time imo

[@mattblatchley2061]

Yes!!!!!

[@frankieray2873]

Most definitely!!! Fuel is James favorite song to get him pumped up

[@ewan_GTO]

GIMME FUEL, GIME FIRE, GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE…… HOOOOOOOO-YEEAH-HEAAAAAH! 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘

[@ewan_GTO]

Check out ALL the Metllica Live S&M stuff…

[@stillmeadowfarm]

Fuel is good.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I was just graduating from middle school when this happened and I had just really gotten into the whole progressive rock scene so this was just like holy crud! Didn’t expect Metallica to do that! When the album came out, they did a live broadcast on TV and showed them actually playing. Me and my brother and my dad we were all blown away.. so then the next day my brother went to the CD store got the CD and the DVD and we literally played it until the CD got scratched. It didn’t get scratched because it was dropped or something of that sort. It got scratched because it was played so much..

[@leilanijarrett7002]

Great album. I love the way you love Metallica. I love your reactions!

[@lasseiversen1815]

WOW! Great reaction! Your taste in music starts to be really up there now. And yeah, Metallica is the best band in the world. :) I would highly recommend The Outlaw Torn from the same album, S&M. Metallica even made a S&M 2 in 2019, you should check out some stuff from that one as well. Those shows was just a short time before James went into rehab, so he looks a bit tired. Enjoy!

[@sandraquinn8969]

One of my favorite metallica songs. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@andreabknight]

This song reminds me of coming out of lockdown to be faced with a terrible family breakdown- gives so much meaning to 'Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Was just a freight train comin' your way' 😢

[@Jodie.DeHart]

I used to be a dancer, and the dj would ask, " What do you wanna start your stage set out with tonight?" I'd hold up 4 fingers. ( No Leaf Clover). He said, " Say no more, Fam." This song got the crowd BEYOND HYPE.🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃

[@jeffneedstogivejakeaturnon1083]

Uncut straight banger, right from the coast. Cheers bro.

[@matthewping6132]

The album has a lot of their older tunes performed with the orchestra, but this one was written specifically to be performed with the orchestra. Symphony and Metallica is definitely worth checking out to get a fresh vibe on some of your old favorites. Really, there isn't any such thing as bad Metallica. Some of the music on their later albums aren't something I get super excited about. But there are some serious bangers on them, too. Really enjoyed the reaction. Keep that grind going.

[@MrMetired]

Orchestra and metal goes VERY well together. Im not a huge Dimmu Borgir fan, but their consert with an orchestra is EPIC..! And No Leaf Clover great song yes!

[@sotexsailor]

This is a whole other level of Metallica, Bro!!! LETS GO!!!

[@stukfuist]

The album S&M is worth listening to for sure!! Wonderful!!

[@tenrai5]

I’ve been waiting for this one! Phenomenal 😄😄🤩

[@gerryrafferty7500]

This is one of the best songs ever , it’s from the album S&M which is symphonies and Metallica. James wrote it for a metal / classical fusion , James wrote the classical pieces . People have used classical music in the past , moody blues, Deep Purple and pink Floyd ( atom heart mother) but this is unique and really innovative because it’s was written by James for the orchestra . Saw it live in San Francisco in the eighties . Masterpiece but Metallica are my fav non prog band . Loved the reaction

[@ericborneman4343]

Dude, I've been with you from the start. Started the Metallica journey with you. And from the get-go I told you to do bleeding me with San Francisco harmonic orchestra. No leave clover for me is probably a second, but bleeding me is going to blow your f****** mind

[@scottlamond1377]

Please. Watch that whole concert. Blow your mind. Great stream man. Ya make me smile dude.

The album "Metallica & San Francisco Symphony" is so beautiful and harmonious! I don't see many reactions to songs on this album. Nice you had a taste of it. Keep going!

[@Craigpyrog]

This song was written specifically for the first S&M. They did an S&M2 a couple of years ago, which I travelled to the US to see.

[@Patrsmoore]

My dude!! Now that you’re doing full album reviews, save this album for a reaction!!! It’s a must. The way each song transitions into the next is part of the orchestral experience!!

[@michaellopez8975]

In 1999 this album is what introduced me to music and Metallica. I been fortunate to see them 3 times this year and they played this song live in St. Louis and the show was epic.

[@Gary-f2n]

Didn’t attend this gig but did manage to see S&M2 in 2019. A long way from Bolton but a very memorable trip.

[@markduffy8034]

Both S&M concerts are mind blowing 🤯. Outlaw Torn from either show and bleeding me from the 1st one. -Human was the second song written specifically for the show.

[@angeliquecatherine8504]

It's an extraordinary sound, it shakes you to the depths of your guts and causes equally incredible sensations... enjoyable 🤩

[@geraldpatrick-xw5bg]

I like this song and all within my hands two songs they did with symphony

[@8tonystark8]

Don't be telling incomplete Story. Minus Human is the second original Song from this concert/Album All Within My Hands is a song from St.Anger (the most hated album) which they arranged for the acoustic and then played with the orchestra - 16 years later

[@geraldpatrick-xw5bg]

I'm not telling a story I mentioned I like this song and all within my hands with symphony, them playing these with symphony is what made them better and out there in my opinion, I just like these two the best ​@@8tonystark8

[@njmorrison3851]

A reaction video I'd LOVE to see (ad would get you massive numbers) is a single video reaction to two versions of All Within my Hands - one from St Anger where the band were at their roughest - angry, raw, emotional, and the same song from S&M 2 where it's very, very, VERY different and suddenly beautiful. Seeing you react to the ending of the original would be worth it by itself :D

[@ellisavage72]

I absolutely love watching you discover all of this music i have loved for decades! You also need to check out whisky in the jar. Or.. actually everything metallica has ever done. I just saw them last November. And they still go as hard as they did in the 90s on the black album tour 🤘🤘

[@clairehall2720]
