Rappers React To Metallica "Dyers Eve"!!!

[@JeremiasDK]

Dyers Eve is one of my all time favorite tracks.. From any band... Ever.

[@BigRiegg]

Couldn't have said it better

[@carlgibson285]

Absolute banger! This is James at his angriest, and I felt every word when I first heard this as a teenager.

[@Vilaa-w-]

Never had clicked so fast on a notif, dyers eve gives me crazy abilities

[@martymaiden8499]

This song is about James growing up with Christian science parents who didn't believe in medicine, among other things. James mother died when he was young to a very curable cancer, and his father then checked out, etc. so you can hear his anger in this song!

[@beezysbeatz4924]

"The God That Failed" from the Black Album is about that stuff.

[@martymaiden8499]

@beezysbeatz4924 yep, mama said from load as well

[@Qliphirot]

This theme is throughout basically every album from 80's-00's

[@jochencooper2751]

This is pure 🔥, the aggression in James's voice is off the chart

[@jamesmcnaught6341]

Love this song, surprised you hadn't done it already. One of my favourite lines is the "you clipped my wings before I learned to fly.... I've outgrown that fucking lullaby"

[@IBleedMercuryOfficial]

Yep, same. Still crushes.

[@shmick6079]

Same here. I felt that line so hard when I was 16. Goosebumps.

[@jamesmcnaught6341]

@shmick6079 yeah, I was 14 when this album came out.

[@shmick6079]

@@jamesmcnaught6341 I didn’t “discover” Metallica until the late 90s as a teenager, but when I did I had the first five albums on regular rotation and probably listened to them all for the first time over a period of a couple of months.

[@Michelle-ce1qh]

Best. Album. Ever. I'm 52 now and still play this alllll the time.

[@MedTechMetal]

This is the only Metallica album I continually go back to. I love the first 4 but this one is head and shoulders over anything else they did.

[@michaelkogut7661]

It’s their 4th best album

[@chuckjohnson5235]

Being 54 and hearing this is way different than being 17 and hearing this. Lol. The 80s man...

[@lalapo5304]

Also 54 first heard it from a roommate in a group home at 16. As a sabbath/ozzy/acdc kid I was stunned. Metal had just been turned on it's head lol.

[@shadow7796]

Being 48 now, I hear something completely different than I did when I first heard it at 13. This is my absolute favorite Metallica album. I believe they were at their peak here.

[@fclefjefff4041]

This album hasn’t aged well for me at all. Goofy production aside, the whole vibe feels so pretentious. I’m very glad they decided to shift gears after this album and let their countless imitators carry the thrash torch.

[@chuckjohnson5235]

@@fclefjefff4041 Shots fired! Lol

[@saigawesnovember]

I still have my original vinyl I bought on release. Still in excellent condition, even after years of playing it. Keeper.

[@tmakster]

FINALLY!!! Someone reacts to Dyers Eve......great react as always guys!!! Keep on keeping on!!!

[@jibaobab6556]

Thank you for this video. This Metallica song stayed with me throughout my teenage and young adult years. Now that I'm the father of two 20-year-olds, I can see how it affected me and my relationship with my own children.

[@mcclane8812]

Still gets me every goddamn time. The Hetfield downstrokes are like a sonic buzzsaw. Lars drums sound like machine gun fire. To this day, still IMO their most technically progressive album ever produced. It’s loud, tight af, sharp and crisp. Newsted is a beast. Album is perfection cover to cover

[@andrewzab83able]

Antarctica, The Soviet Union during parastroyka . The first western act in 30 years to play a show in China. They performed outside during a thunder storm and 3 shows in 1 day in London. They straight up ran off stage, hopped in a van to the next show. They were performing 5 minutes after they arrived. There's a reason these guys are on another level. Great reaction

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

And Justice For All is my favorite Metallica album. I love when y'all cover anything from that one

[@Devypocalypse]

No one distilled metal like prime Metallica into a purely focused, laser beam fury that made you think, had sick lyrics and backed it up in every aspect, live, on record, image, the lot. Hetfield was on a fucking tear on this. Unreal.

[@sterling8298]

This is the album that turned me onto heavy metal music. I'm so glad I bought that cassette tape.🤘😊🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘💣🤘💣🔥🔥🔥🤘

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

Yeah this entire album is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥! I remember buying the cassette in 8th grade when it came out, the entire school was rocking out to this album!!! 😀🤣🎉

[@aliased2098]

Metallica also played in the artic circle, in Tuktoyaktuk Canada.

[@shadow7796]

Me at 13, 14, and 15, strolling down the school hallways with my Walkman headphones on between classes. That was over 30 years ago now.

[@kristaspecht]

Same here!!!!

[@joshjacobs3906]

Hit Anesthesia (pulling teeth)......Cliff Burton's bass solo on the Kill Em All record. Knocked it out in the first take. Just listen to the noises he pulls out of that Rickenbacker bass.......ive heard it 1000 times and it still blows me away.🤘

[@daveklipschjr9464]

Such an iconic and legendary album… Imagine how much better it would be if the bass was turned up like it should’ve been 😢

[@kristaspecht]

Morning guys! I was half asleep when I got on the channel but now I'm awake! Lol! Love Metallica and love Justice for all! Good way to wake up in the morning for sure!!!! Love it!!!!❤❤

[@metalpianomanmusic]

pointing the speakers down at the floor above my parents bedroom and just turning as loud as possible when I was 18. Last classic before the dark times, before Bob Rock

[@BigRiegg]

They always go out with a bang on their albums

[@timbertime7823]

And start with one as well! Every one of their albums opens with a banger!

[@Bill-c8k]

One of my favorite tunes by them It's so fast hard angry a perfect song

[@chrishoopengarner2940]

Mad Season - November Hotel is epic ! Especially the live performance , it’s incredible

[@truther4life]

Live at The Moore!!! Whole Concert!!!

[@cuttingedgecomix]

I always understood the title as one being for a suicide note, and thus the "Dear Mother, Dear Father" part. Personally, ever since I heard it I understood how even in their best intentions parents can shelter children to the point they are maladjusted, angry, frustrated, depressed and not ready to mix with the rest of the world. I still feel that shit EVERY DAY.

[@matti72033]

Yes, I always interpreted the lyrics as a suicide note.

[@fidelisjk]

im 42 and still remember listening this on LP when I was like 10yo. Still got the same feeling!

[@The_Apothecary]

Been listening to this for so many years, never gets old.

[@marcotabone5032]

Yall are correct, they are the only band to play all 7 continents as of now

[@corepuncher]

I think this is their heaviest song. Not just the musicianship but the lyrical content. All in all...heavy.

[@slingshotcrazy]

And at 48 years old and being blown away by AJFA, imagine the deal after a 3 year wait before the eponymous 91’ release, it went from this, to THAT 😢

[@chrisbowman7280]

I know how you feel... I was so upset by the regression that I never listen to anything after Justice.... Ever 🙁

[@scorpionking4012]

Very powerful song , one of my favourite!!!

[@craigrodgers4267]

Pure unadulterated teenage anger!!! This song helped understand my youthful anger.

[@donovanbriggs3650]

One of two absolutely perfect albums front to back master and this one brother just awesome.

[@gennyreese420]

The perfect song for anyone pissed off at their parents for any reason ever, almost impossible to not speed when this is on in the car! Next y'all need to react to Spit Out The Bone, It's relatively newer and one of the few videos Metallica did, it's killer!🤘🖤😎🌟

[@shmick6079]

This was one of my favourite tracks as an angsty teenager. I’m 41 now, so the lyrics don’t quite hit the same, but it’s still one hell of a track and I love the emotion in it.

[@stigpetersen9701]

James’ parents were very religious and e.g did not believe in medical treatment but believed that their faith in God would heal illness. James’ mother got cancer and he lost her in his teenager-years. They also shielded him from sports a.o so he was not allowed to have a “normal” life like his friends. “Dyers Eve” is about blaiming them for his lost childhood

[@NBAHOTTAKEZ]

I’m suprised nobody has suggested S.O.D surely they’re one of the quintessential thrash bands.

[@badmotorbreath5206]

Freddy Kruger !!

[@zackzaharko89]

One of my favorite Metallica tracks, great reaction fellas

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Just another reason why And Justice is my fave Metallica record!!!

Listen to it all before we fall .Rock out till we clock out ! 🤟😎

[@keithdawe8521]

Favourite track off And Justice For All. Saw them play London Hammersmith Odeon on this tour, i was 18.

[@FabioOsorio619]

An underrated or undiscovered gem to many, and an essential, maybe most badass song of Metallica. Ever.

[@donnasmith5942]

Absolutely love this whole Album!!!! This is one of the songs I love off it.

[@Gibbetoo]

i started playing guitar because Metallica :D yesterday was a day i got my first guitar 34 years ago.

30 years later and this is the HEAVIEST song ever... period. The Triple D's.. Dyers Eve, Damage Inc and Disposable Heroes.

[@chrishoopengarner2940]

Now they need to be on the ISS and the Moon

[@shawnamericanrebel5676]

Absolutely and let's not forget about MARS 🤘 👽 🤘

[@LostHate]

This was the song as a kid. 🤘🤘

[@r.deanmcknight136]

This whole album is nothing but pure aggression. They were still mourning the loss of Cliff and still couldn't accept Jason as the bassist, which is why all you hear is heavy distortion of guitar over the bass. This song is about James life growing up with a mother that was a Christian that didn't believe in medical science. It's his conflict which gives this song added aggression 🤘😎🤘

[@adambirnstihl9390]

This track is a banger

[@jc2004x]

I’ve put Dyer’s Eve in the comments in the past… You should also check out Liberate by Disturbed (Nu metal Mondays maybe…)

[@davidjester3111]

Just imagine, when this came out it was on cassette or album. No skipping track. You hoped the whole thing was good. The album that made me a Headbanger!

[@upmetalhead]

This brings me right back to 1989.... my favorite album!!!

[@CJ-Fischer]

The ultimate head banger song! Great reaction! More please

[@jamesarthur347]

My first concert was this tour. This was the ultimate teenage angst song. Cool choice! Be easy!

Genuine angst makes the best thrash.

[@sterling8298]

14:24 Life has been very fair to me this year.😊⚒️💎🙂

[@nnotwo]

I am 51 tomorrow.. But still headbanging when this song comes up

[@Frostrazor]

unfukingbeatable! top tier thrash greatest all time. This song is the peak of showing off their skills. He (James) didn't know his father. His stepfather was a very religious man and wouldn't allow modern medicine to intervene while his mother was dying. She died and James grew up to hate religion and what it's strict practice took from him. The song "Fade To Black" was written from the dark place in his mind when his favorite guitar - a gift from his deceased mother gave him - was stolen. The Unforgiven was written through inspiration of how he felt towards the stepfather he blamed for allowing his mother to die.

[@davidcraft8524]

Virgil Hetfield was James real dad and his moms second husband. James has a few half brothers and I think a half sister from her first marriage. Virgil left when James was 13 but that was his biological father. A screwed up situation regardless...

[@TheMlvswoll]

My boy dropped Pride reference. Bro. The good ole days of MMA

[@raymondkoenen8957]

I used the lyrics of this song for an English assignment on songwriting/poetry. The teacher had to appreciate it for the marvel it was....but also did NOT appreciate it hahaha. Still got an A

[@richardhurts5]

All us gen x people know what this song is about

[@BigRiegg]

His parents were very religious and oppressive in that sense

[@ianwood9771]

Fear Factory yall!!! Powershifter!!!

[@RandyBeans69]

oh shit, lol! Those drums are magnificent!!!

[@codymoe4986]

Random Metallica trivia I ripped from Wiki... "Freeze 'Em All was a one-off concert by American heavy metal band Metallica played in Antarctica on December 8, 2013. It took place in a dome near the heliport of the Carlini Base in Argentine Antarctica, and was attended by 120 people, ranging from members of the base's research team and winners of a sweepstake offered by the Coca-Cola Company. The concert featured ten songs played over the span of an hour. As to prevent noise pollution, the show was played without any traditional amplification and was instead transmitted to the audience through headphones. The concert made Metallica the first band to perform on all seven continents. The concert was later released as a live album." BTW, checked the set list....no "Trapped Under Ice"...

[@chrisgraham3530]

By far my favorite metallica song

[@timbertime7823]

People who say Metallica stopped playing thrash after the first 3 or 4 albums annoy me. Yes, they definitely started going with more heavy groovey type songs as they progressed but there are thrashy bangers on every one of their albums, including Load and Reload. Personally, I slightly prefer their heavier stuff over their pure thrash stuff, especially if I'm listening to an entire album.

[@codymoe4986]

It's merely a dividing line between everything before the Black Album, and after...I didn't hate what they became, I simply preferred what they used to be.

[@kmvoss]

Great reaction.

[@Goran310]

You should see Metallica live at the mtv europe music awards 1996. when they were scheduled to play King nothing but instead they played Last caress and So what in responce to mtv asking them not to curse and have pyrotechnics on stage. One of the most badass and funny things in metal history!

[@soakedbearrd]

AJFA was no doubt their heaviest album imo.

[@adriantrusca1245]

Black album was heavier production wise. The wall of sound was imense. Guitars were thick.

[@soakedbearrd]

@ so was master of puppets, production wise. I’m talking about the composition.

[@JerryH.83]

Did you know their first ever music video was One from And Justice from all.

[@steves.6519]

This was my 16 year old self anthem!

[@2ndAmndmnt]

Lars' best drumming without a doubt.

[@lawrencefine5020]

Top 3 Metallica songs from their last truly great album. An ode to Jame's parents. Appropriately played.

[@ko4otv43]

Best Metallica album ever imo. Hands down a masterpiece!

[@LudusAurea]

Oh nice about time. Their best heavy song, period, it beats Whiplash (which they didn't write anyway) and Disposable Heroes and MoP by miles. This was the crown jewel of AJFA and basically the best song that could have ended the album. The snare and the guitar on this are just chefs kiss.

[@zeigbert1743]

In-o-cents, yeah!

[@swcoder]

One of the best. I think at some point any teenager has some angst with their parents and can relate. But James by all counts had a shitty childhood.

[@jpxfrdfd]

love the reaction and backbone by gojira would be awesome‼️🤘

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Yes. This is a direct response to Hetfield's parents, from James. [both were dead by the time this album was released]. His parents were "christian scientists" - one of the aspects of that cult is that: they do not seek out medical assistance ("physicians do not heal, god heals" and so forth🙄), so: when James' mother contracted some form of cancer, she did not seek or accept (thereby: never received) treatment or assistance (thereby: dying from said disease). There are parallels, to be drawn, here, between: James' experience with his mother and Maynard's (A Perfect Circle, Tool, Puscifer, etc.) with HIS. Although different in some practical aspects, essentially, they, essentially, derive from & demonstrate the same sorts of "faith" and conviction in (un-provable and demonstrably fallacious) beliefs/ideas/et al. ...SO, yes: while I am confident that Hetfield knew there were/would be plenty of others who would/did relate to the emotions expressed in and the subject matter of the song, "Dyer's Eve" is, also, clearly, an expression of personal pain, frustration, inability to comprehend and refusal to accept. Deeply visceral and powerful.

[@carsynm5636]

Holy shit that’s a banger!! Hetfield rules!

[@arronknox2884]

check out, Augury - brimstone landscapes.

[@badmotorbreath5206]

Like Damage Inc., the last track on Master of Puppets, Dyers Eve is the perfect way to close a classic thrash metal album. A fast paced, skull crushing, gut buster.

Metallica at their filthiest. Stank face from beginning to end. So dirty yet horrifyingly beautiful.

[@Jaydee-x8e]

You guy's should start doing mandatory Metallica

[@timometsanoja9666]

Spit out the Bone... Check out Spit Out the Bone. It is from their previous album so it is "new Metallica". Or one of my favourites of the new songs in "Halo on Fire". That's a good one, but isn't quite as thrashy.

[@petrilampela]

I don't think James never really got the credit for being such a great lyricist when he was only twenty-something. Writing about addiction, politics and war in a poetic manner that he did at such young age is just incredible (I remember the lyrics I wrote at that age and they're SO embarrassing). But these songs where he dives into his personal life still hit the most. Bleeding Me and Mama Said are another examples that just break your heart. The only reason I don't like him personally is his love for trophy hunting, but I can separate the person from his art. At some cases.

[@duffalias]

The last thrash album by Metallica ❤
