Master of Puppets, Rust in Peace, and Number of the Beast are my top 3.

[@sriley064]

Excuse me,you're wrong sir,the black album,says hello It's one of the few albums ever with nothing but pure bangers

[@LudusAurea]

Not even the best Metallica album but one of them for sure.

[@LudusAurea]

@@sriley064 self titled is awful in comparison to Metallica's actually amazing albums Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and AJFA. It’s so mainstream that nothing else matters is literally the intro song on the latest Disney movie Jungle Cruise. If one of your "bangers" is played during the Disney castle logo on a movie, your album isn't "the best metal album of all time." Period. It's not a bad album. It has good songs. It's just a bad Metallica album. Even compared to KTA, half of which was cover songs.

[@andyb1653]

@@sriley064 It's a good album, to be sure, and it's one of the most important re: their popularity. Some tracks absolutely slap (Through the Never, Unforgiven, My Friend o' Misery). That being said, it doesn't hold a candle to MoP, AJ4A, RTL or even Kill 'em All, musically speaking (except "Misery", that bass progression is cool as fuck).

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

You guys have done "Disposable Heroes" and "Battery" from this album, how have you guys seriously never heard this song lol? Edit: the famous James Hetfield YEAAHH didn't become a thing until Load and Reload back in the 90's. Gimme fuel, gimme fiah, gimme thawchidesiah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅

[@shovetheleper]

Gonna say black as well

[@Defensive_Wounds]

@@shovetheleper Yeah, (pun intended) ANYthing from the Bob Rock era afterwards will have YEAH in it to varying degrees. But most before then there is next to none. I consider his YEAH as being an 'UGH' in hip hop back in the 90s. Or having an autotune tone tweak today being the relatable cliche.

[@ModelK-8904]

That "FIX ME" hits so hard regardless of how many time I hear this song. Absolute classic

[@bryansproles2879]

The overall theme of the album is controlling people, whether via drugs, religion, military, etc. So the hands controlling the graves could easily be the drugs controlling people to their deaths, or the military controlling soldiers until killed in battle. Very multi-faceted. This song is so amazing, not only because of the lyrics, but they also have that middle interlude showing the elated feeling of having the drugs in the system, and as the person comes back down, back to the main song...then James eventually screams "FIX ME!!" as he needs another hit... Amazing album from front to back though 😎

[@betsdakreator]

Well said 🤘

[@akatripclaymore.9679]

Yes for sure, the whole album's a story!

[@mitchlatour1932]

Fantastic analysis my friend! I found that the albums which followed kill em all in their eighties era really showed how their songwriting and musicianship really matured and solidified.

[@whythehellnot6502]

They had to put out a hell of a lot of work just to be noticed and have a glimmer of a chance. And Metallica is just strait LEGEND!!!🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘

[@PJBonoVox]

Maybe so but it would we cool if they'd feature smaller artists. Pretty sure Metallica doesn't need the cash 😬

cd? It was vinyl when I bought it.

[@RegurgiNate84]

Sweet pic

[@brandonx7215]

Album....

[@mattlexireactions4313]

The interesting thing about this song is that the musicianship goes with what an addict goes through. You have the fast opening which can be an addict looking for their drug of choice. Then you get the mellow part in the middle that's like the high they feel. Then it gets frantic like the person is coming down off their high and freaking out for more. It's subtle, but when you hear it, you can't unhear it!

[@jaybird455]

Absolutely! Thanks, I was gonna mention this if you had not already

[@dustinblackwell4952]

Damn… I’ve never heard that about the song, but once you listen to it with that preface, you’re right…. I can’t unhear it now. I used to have that inner battle on a daily basis with pain killers and lost several years of quality life in my 20’s all from becoming addicted to opiates from a damn knee surgery. It’s the hardest and longest battle I’ve ever fought, but I finally came out victorious 12 years ago. Listening to this song again brought back memories of absolute despair, helplessness, the struggle to kill the withdrawals and how it completely dictated my life. Very emotional revisiting those feelings. Just reminds me of how hard it was to reclaim my life and this song replayed itself every. single. day. in my throws of addiction. Thank y’all for posting this. I truly appreciate it!!

[@JerryMabrey]

Yup lyrically it's the drug talking first then after the melody it's the user talking ( promised only lies) and then back to the drug talking and its the ups and downs musically.

[@frightenedsoul]

@@dustinblackwell4952 congratulations you deserve a ton of credit getting out of that. Opiate addiction is no joke - it changes your brain. Getting sober is only half of the battle because it takes a long time for your brain chemistry to become normal again. I have overcome opiate addiction myself (OxyContin) so I know the deal.

[@RagingInsomniac]

@@frightenedsoul is it true that if you go cold turkey, there’s a chance you’ll die?

[@HeavyTopspin]

THE definitive Metallica song in my mind. The shifting time signatures, insane drumming, fast-slow-fast pacing, multiple guitar solos, and a complete showcase for Hetfield's voice, while displaying the melodic sound that began to signal the band's shift from true thrash to the more radio-friendly sound that would culminate in the Black Album.

[@xvor_tex8577]

This song and Black Sabath's "War Pigs" single handedly made me a metalhead, it started my journey 3 years ago of just listening to almost exclusively metal songs

[@FilipePT25]

The album of this song was considered in 2017 the second best metal album ever made , only behind Paranoid from Black Sabbath .

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

Welcome to the club. Back in the day I went through a mostly hard rock/metal phase after "graduating" from pop - then widened to various rock genres including prog, then weird bits of everything, even still including pop. But rock, in general, is still my core taste.

[@frightenedsoul]

Nice! War Pigs got me into drumming

[@seimen4348]

Warpigs is my absolute favorite sabbath with ozzy song. Masterpiece.

[@urborg74]

It's not just that MoP is awesome, it's awesome for so long and in so many different ways. Most songs can barely hold up for 3 minutes, Metallica does it for 8.

[@thumplife792]

I always view the transitions of this song as craving drugs and withdrawal starting. The beautiful part in the middle is the momentary release you feel when you finally kill the pain by getting high. The heaviness entering back in afterwards is coming down and the withdrawal symptoms beginning again. The "master" is the voice in the addicts head. They obey that voice by robbing family, assault, killing, to obey the call of buying more drugs and getting high again.

[@beardedbubba7628]

Still my favorite Metallica album after all these years. Cliff Burton was the greatest!

[@LINKINPARK262]

I was fortunate enough to see Metallica's Master Of Puppets tour when they came through with Ozzy. There aren't enough words in the English language to convey just how incredibly talented Cliff Burton was. Do you know how Cliff died? If, by some chance, you don't I can tell you what happened. It was so unbelievably heartbreaking.

[@metalmaniac1244]

@@LINKINPARK262 same here, saw that tour in Houston Texas

[@LINKINPARK262]

@@metalmaniac1244 he's the only performer that I've ever seen that, somehow, managed to make his hair just as much of an instrument during performances as his bass was. Considering the fact that I've been involved with booking local, regional and national acts for 22 (ish) years and shacked up with a drummer for almost 33 years, that's really saying something! He was a force of nature...

You managed to find the one Metallica song without a "yeah". Well played.

[@tijmen6947]

Probably more songs without yeahs than with

[@susanconstable2113]

The song is about addiction. The master is the drug/addiction. The puppet is the user. The first melodic guitar solo is the euphoria of the high. The second hard solo is the need for the fix again.

[@waynephillips6779]

Undoubtedly the best Metallica song by far, what a riff 🎸 although in saying that SAD BUT TRUE is a masterpiece. I think you guys are bang on with the analysis once again, keep on rocking dudes 🤟🤟

Oh yes, it is about drugs. This song is a masterpiece! First it is like a seduction and later the ugly truth that you are addicted. The slower interlude always makes me cry and I have no clue why.

[@TheDivayenta]

The elusiveness of happiness.

[@MetalHeadReacts]

Take into consideration some of the other lines you spoke about such as "needlework the way", "I'm your source of self-destruction" and of course, "Chop your breakfast on a mirror" it is indeed about drug addiction and how the person's life is basically ruled by the drug.

[@hal1971]

yep, even the soft interlude recreate the feeling of having your dose of drug, everything is good, nice litlle dreamy music that build into the heavier riff when the effect of the drugs wear off and into the solo when you are in need of the next Fix..

Also "I'll run through you"

[@JasonLevine1178]

Shorter version of this song: “Just say no” with sick guitar work. There, saved everyone 10 minutes. (kidding, this is a fantastic song from an incredible album)

[@Giltr0y]

"I will run through you" , "Taste me and you will see, more is all you need", "Blinded by me, you can't see a thing" etc. etc. give it away as it is about the drug.

[@dancing_odie]

If you notice, after he yells "Master" 4 times the song changes pace and becomes slow and tranquil, like just after you get your fix. But slowly, the song gets faster and more chaotic just like when the high wears off and you crash. This song is genius brought to the world through beautiful riffs and deeply emotional and thought-provoking lyrics.

[@kevinallerston5969]

Well put.

[@jamesshepley2742]

I saw an interview with Lars answering the question about the over all meaning of the song. If I remember correctly, he said it's not specifically about drugs it's about addiction. Could be drugs, alcohol, gambling what ever. The master is the addiction itself.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Not many reaction channels touch any songs from Metallica's newer albums. For some popular singles from their 2 most recent albums, check out "The Day That Never Comes" or "Spit Out The Bone". "The Judas Kiss" from their Death Magnetic album is my favorite newer Metallica song, both Death Magnetic and Beyond Magnetic are fantastic from start to finish (although many people complain about the production but the music itself is epic).

[@mikeydevlino]

I've listened to Metallica for over 20 years. Spit out the bone is one of my favorite songs! It's just SO good!

[@swcoder]

I wasn't a fan of St. Anger, but their latest stuff is some of their best. It's like they tied their roots to what they learned through the Black Album on and merged it altogether.

[@LudusAurea]

Because they aren’t worth listening to

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

@@mikeydevlino I agree, "Spit Out The Bone" is one of the best songs they've made in decades and it could easily fit in with one of the old school albums like Master Of Puppets or AJFA. I even had it as my ringtone for a long time, I'm eagerly waiting for them to release a new album!

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

@@swcoder I couldn't have said it better myself, I feel the exact same way. Death Magnetic, Beyond Magnetic, and Hardwired are excellent albums even though the production/mixing wasn't great. I actually like St. Anger, it's definitely not their best work, but I think St. Anger was a necessary album to keep the band together and it allowed them to bounce back and return to form with the next two albums. The h8 for St. Anger is understandable, but I love it anyways and it's actually therapeutic to listen to when you're going through a rough time and need to release your negative feelings.

[@sinisterking6009]

[@radicalbradical8766]

this song is about drug addiction. "taste me you will see, more is all you need" getting addicted. "chop your breakfast on a mirror" having to start your day with it to feel the new normal. you can break down the meaning in almost any line and relate it to drug addiction and how it effects and controls you.

[@mrman05211983]

Nice reaction. This song is really well done in my opinion. Done about addiction and I think the 4 parts mimic that. First part with "obey your master " is the craving, second slower "nice" part is the high after taking, third part with "telling only lies" is the comedown/withdrawal, and 4th part back to, "obey your master " back to craving completing the cycle of abuse. It was the anti drugs song that parents in the day thought was something horrible, lol.

You guys are right on the theme is how the person using drugs becomes a puppet to addiction (jails, institutions & death). You can hear this from from one of the very first lyrics about pushing darkest clear meaning pushing brown colored heroin out of a needle until it’s empty. Then of course chopping coke on a mirror. The chorus describes how it (the addiction) doesn’t care, will laugh at your cries, “pain monopoly “ is the game you play, etc… good reaction!!!

There is a great story about when the PMRC (The Parents Music Resource Center) protested a Metallica concert back in the 80's. Metallica invited them in to talk. The PMRC said that their music was awful and was leading the children to Satan and suicide. Metallica asked for an example. The PMRC said you have a song on your album called Creeping Death that means you are promoting suicide. Metallica asked if they had bothered to read the lyrics of the song. The folks from the PMRC said of course they had. Then Metallica told them what the song was about and read the lyrics. Creeping Death is the Biblical story from The Book of Exodus. The people in the 80's that were all fired up about censoring music really had no idea what metal music was about. They thought it was just angry noise. Most metal back then was angry but seldom was it noise. Great Reaction fellas!!!

[@clintmorrison5863]

You're right about the song being about drugs and more specifically how drugs are your 'master.' The album as a whole deals with different types of manipulation. IMO, it's the greatest metal album of all time.

[@sailure1]

Every song on the Master of Puppets album has a deep cultural reference. This is why in 2016 United States Congress added it to the Library of Congress. the ENTIRE album " Master of Puppets" was selected as one of the 25 new sound recordings added to the registry of works that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

This song is a masterpiece of songwriting in general ! It's about how the drugs can rule your life. But even in term of music, when the song calms down, is to recall the effect of heroin : everythig seems beautiful, calm and nice, but quickly the need comes again and the music restart with a bigger riff and the final solo which is a bit "out" and very speed. One of the best songs ever written, metal or not !

Now, for the first time ever, after listening to this song since I was a teenager, I'm 51 now, I am realizing that it's about Addiction, and a destructive habit/ substance is YOUR/ THE "MASTER" of Puppets. I've never really trto decipher the lyrics before

[@kellyzak2375]

Possibly the greatest heavy metal song ever written

[@Reani71]

Competes with War Pigs, Painkiller, Hallowed Be Thy Name and a few others, but certainly one of the best for sure.

[@laurabielss2300]

Yes the beginning of the song is about the hype the drugs put you on and the promises it makes, the slow middle is the calming effects of the drugs, then the end the drugs gave you false promises and now you're addicted and the drugs are your master.

[@bigge7661]

This song is 100% about Addiction PERIOD. Nuthin' about the troops. Disposable Heroes is 100% about the troops. The addiction could be alcohol or Any drug that makes you crawl to it Every day.

[@jasondesselle5143]

One of thier greatest songs imo with a very strong message and meaning.

[@metalguru85]

One of the songs that got me into metal and great a new generation gets that now through Stranger Things.

[@wayne2150]

The song Master of Puppets is about the horrors of drug addiction. ... Or ANY addiction.

[@monkeysvs.snakes4336]

Saw this tour in 1986 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They were the warmup band for Ozzy's Ultimate Sin tour with Jake E. Lee. What an iconic show that turned out to be!

[@freedomsnotfreefreedomsnot3270]

That was the tour where Ozzy said Metallica should be headlining and they are very difficult to follow. The tour stop in Indiana, Metallica did 3 encores with Ozzy's blessing.

I was 8 or 9 years old jamming this on cassette tape daily when it was released! F’ing loved every second of it!

This song is about James Hetfeilds addiction to drugs, the middle slowdown is the "High euphoria" of the drug, then it speeds up to the need for more. He's written alot of songs about his life, his struggles and mindset. The Yeahhhs came from black album and after. If you want an excellent song to react to do "Creeping Death" or "Fade to Black" both extremely meaningful songs. I've been lucky I'm an 80's Metalhead, seen Metallica 6x one of my best concerts to date!! And I've seen all the Metal Gods! Keep the reactions coming, I love seeing Y'all enjoying music that I still listen to, it's pure joy🥰❤️‍🔥🤘🎸 ps. Creeping Death live from Moscow, but pull words up.. its Best Live!! Apocalypse Song!!

[@DonnaCPunk]

I've never heard of James being addicted to drugs. He always had issues with alcohol. I know Lars and Kirk were into hard drugs in their younger days tho.

[@malpeice2]

There was a scene in the movie “old school” (Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn) when they are picking up the fraternity recruits in a black van and this song is playing in that scene 😂😂😂😂

[@lauragraziano5858]

I had completely forgotten about that scene until just now!!

[@malpeice2]

@@lauragraziano5858 lol I bet that’s exactly where he heard it tho

[@Ian_Ah_Nee]

You guys are on the right track. The "master" as I always understood it was the addiction itself.

[@fernandom1743]

Please do a video reaction to 'Fairies Wear Boots' by Black Sabbath, it's a legendary song from the band, I'm sure you'll love it. Greetings Trash Talkers! Your videos are the best. ✌🏻

[@kornelious1]

If you watch the making of the black album "A year and a half in the life of metallica" you'll see where the "YEAH" came from and that's when it started :)

Stranger things is over hyped. Season 1 was ok. Just ok.

This song and One were my intros to Metallica. They weren't fucking around. Thanks for the react!

[@Joepacalypse1107]

The title song from Metallica's masterpiece (also their last true metal album). A lyrical journey describing cocaine addiction.

[@4md17]

if... And Justice for all.. isnt true thrash metal for you, you dont know metal

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

Last true metal album? Are you serious?? ...And Justice For All???????

[@Joepacalypse1107]

@@4md17 they drown out the bass, they began to put in songs like One, Many of us that followed the band before Kirk and Cliff think the same. Justice is a great album but it was also the beginning of their move toward trying to be more radio/MTV friendly. Not shitting on the album, just being honest.

[@4md17]

@@Joepacalypse1107 the structure of songs, complexity of the riffs, the lyrics... that was not mainstreem. the best album because this reasons except the bass lacking and thats why i listen only onufficiall versions with bass. people who are listining to mainstreem would shit their pants if they heard dyers eve, harvester or bleckened.

I saw them on this tour in Birmingham Uk - Cliff was dead before the week was out after the gig

[@christinehooper6488]

You would definitely get a "YEAH" if this was live!!

[@scottclark3761]

It's the drugs. The slow instrumental is the high. The "Fix me!" in the middle is that one part of lucidity before the cravings begin...then when the music gets more aggressive, that's the craving. The music tells part of the story.

[@jennhurl]

Metallica just did a split screen Tik Tok video playing "Master Of Puppets" with Eddie on Stranger Things! What a bad ass song choice & scene! I love how much fun this band still has together! Video from YT below👇🏻📽 #MasterOfPuppets #StrangerThings
