Most impressive metal song I ever heard. They were so tight its unbelievable, incredibly complex changes, that flow together beautifully. Powerful subject matter. Perfect heavy song.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Well said! It's a true metal masterpiece.

The Frayed Ends of Sanity

[@danksquid3265]

Great reaction. That false ending still gets me after all these years - they/James knew that riff was special, showing off in the best possible way. "Orion", if you haven´t heard it yet.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you! Yeah that ending was the icing on an amazing cake. 😃

[@Pohgrey]

It is so satisfying watching people discover for the first time just how awesome this band really was like I did 35 years ago when they first hit the scene. I have always loved this song. I like it better than the more popular title track. Glad you enjoyed man. Good reaction.

[@ninau.]

My favorite Metallica album, love all the songs. Been a fan for ages, thanks for the reaction 🤘

[@danielrupp7578]

Favorite song from my favorite album.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for watching Nina :)

[@DrTomMD]

It’s hard to believe that I had the honor of being alive and very receptive in 1986 (18yo - eligible for draft)!when this album was released. It’s Longevity and timelessness reached a level of rarity with few peers, save possibly AC/DC Back in Black.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Late '80s Tallica is *SUCH* high quality. The epic multi-movement structures.... you get so much song for your money! :)

[@kevviking6612]

I was a senior in high school when the Master of Puppets album came out. I bought it on vinyl, recorded it onto a good quality cassette tape, and proceeded to wear it out on my car stereo. Every song on this album is amazing. Master of Puppets and Orion are particularly badass, but Disposable Heroes is my favorite. Later that year, I woke up with a nasty hangover, with my dad knocking on my bedroom door. He said, "this is a band you like, right?", and he handed me a clipping from the morning newspaper. It was a small clipping, not front page or anything. The article in the clipping told of a tour bus accident involving Metallica, and bassist Cliff Burton had died.

[@debradanner5030]

It's a beast of a song!🤘

[@enzoolivares7764]

Everytime it's so good, to see people enjoy about another type of music..that to remember me the first time that I heard it. Greetings from Chile-Soutamerica and my apologies for my inglish. it's not my mother language. Keep it up!!! Bro.

[@LightningJackFlash]

I love how you interpret the chorus thing, "the descending chromatic" thing as a representation of hierarchy... Amazing, I'm really impressed by the way you interpreted it man, wow.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks very much! 🙂🤘

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Unreal

Metallica - The day that never comes live in Quebec 2009. You dont have to listen studio version live and studio almost same even live is better

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for the tip! :D

@@ThomFoolery1 try all nightmare long @ mexico 2008 or 09 i think they killed it!

[@drummerboy0626]

Metal at its raw.

[@RakuPL]

Pure epicness :)

[@lukenethen9438]

my favorite song off MOP

[@adammclaren4301]

Hey man great reaction really good to see people truly understanding their music👍 would love to see a reaction to wherever I may roam by Metallica

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks a lot Adam! 😀

[@omerozer67]

Hey Thomas! great reaction to a very powerful song, if you're gonna do the live version i suggest you do the one from 1985 or 1993. cheers

[@jochencooper2751]

Are you talking about the hammerfest 85 performance?

[@omerozer67]

@@jochencooper2751 precisely

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you very much. Keen to hear the live one.

[@martos60]

The quality of those recordings is really poor. I suggest the performance from their 2006 Berlin show. It's a really tight performance. If not do the Mexico city 2009 one.

[@omerozer67]

@@martos60 still better than the 2000'S ones lol

[@jochencooper2751]

If you're going to do a live performance ,do the one from ozzfest 85, they announce it as a new song off of the new album out at Xmas 86, imagine being in the crowd and hearing it for the first time

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for the tip! :D

[@lou3778]

Great reaction. I haven’t watched any of your other ones yet but I will. I’ve always thought of this song, as being volume two of No Remorse. When you get a chance, check that one out and react to it.

[@bellametallica]

I saw Metallica back in 2013 in Detroit and let me tell you that if you think this song is epic now you should hear it played live and in person. I've been a HUGE fan of them for nearly 30 years and it was surreal FINALLY being able to see them live. I lost my shit the second they walked out on stage lol.

[@ThomFoolery1]

I can only imagine! So awesome. 😃

[@Jerkturtle]

🤘 Knew you'd like that 😏

[@davidmackeown5496]

Hi Thomas . Please react to “ to live is to die”. My fav instrumental of theirs by far and is a tribute to bass player Cliff Burton who died in bus tragedy when band was on tour. He was only 24. This instrumental is spin chilling and epic.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Oh wow, that sounds awesome. Thank you!

[@SandraNelson063]

The guys have said that a lot of their music comes from a core filled with anger. The music is how they redirect the anger OUT, let it burn off. Their audience identifies with the music, that's why they STILL pack arenas with multi- generational fans. Who go into participatory RIOTS during a live show. James is a master of audience control. Lewis, the young lead singer of Alien Weaponry, has that easy sense of authority and control over an audience like that too. And he's under 21. Have you heard of Credence Clearwater Revival? They have a song along this theme called Fortunate Son. If you haven't heard it, go listen!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks Sandra, well said! Yeah, you can really get that energy from them. I know a lot of people don't really understand heavy rock/metal because it is 'angry' but that's really what makes it wonderful. I feel more relaxed listening to this music because I feel I'm letting out those aggression in a positive way. That's metalheads are the most level headed and nice people. Oh yes, I love 'Fortunate Son' that's a classic. Heard a few snippets of AW but need to sit down and hear more. :)

[@brianmackay8987]

Very powerful song! Recommending that you explore Judas Priest and Volbeat as well. Would definitely watch those reactions as well!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks Brian! Yeah, I was thinking I need to hear more Judas Priest. I only really know "Breaking the Law".

[@feth7747]

This, with batery are the two best songs of the album

[@fleetadmiralsakazuki]

what about Damage Inc.

[@FarukAhmet]

Fun little trivia about the lyrics: Originally, it was about not war, but (American) football players. Apparently Hetfield was watching some documentary or commentary about how football players would severely get injured because the team/their coach would push them past their limits, then get tossed aside when they couldn't 'serve' anymore. The severity of the situation is a bit different obviously, but both sports and war is basically young boys ordered around by big systems run by older men, after all ("Twenty one, only son / But he served us well"). Hetfield says he himself had a turning point in his life during high school when his football coach ordered him to cut his long hair and thinking he didn't want to live that kind of life he decided to quit the team and be a musician instead (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3bUaoWMgLlsjrM ).

[@ThomFoolery1]

Wow, I would never have guessed that! So interesting. I need to hear it again now haha. Thanks for sharing!

[@CategoryFive5]

Please do Metallica all nightmare long it’s such a banger 🤘🤘🤘

[@cameronmoody469]

Gotta do the live version from 85 man if you wanna hear it live... Insane performance and I believe you’d be the first to react to it on KZbin! Cheers

[@ThomFoolery1]

Awesome, thanks! :)

[@JulioGarcia-lu2uq]

Woooo o

[@rickj895]

good video good

There’s no “R” in Metallic’r. Lol. Thx for the vid. Great song

Yoooooo🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@marcpeterhoefer6995]

You have to react to Rammstein Mein Land...big surprise believe me Greetings from south germany

[@jasonbenedict2300]

Please listen to 2 X 4 in Donnington 1995. Its different then the version on load, but it's better. Trust me

[@stigpetersen9701]

Well, Thomas....I sincerely don't think that I disappointed you by recommending "Disposable Heroes" 😂😂🔥🔥🤘🤘....looking forward to seeing you reacting to the live version from Mexico 2009.....fasten your seatbelt 🔥🔥🔥......next song you should consider from the Titans of Thrash Metal is " Damage Inc." from the same album as Disposable Heroes.....approximately 5 minutes of powerful speedy Thrash including another monstersolo from Kirk....🤘🤘🤘.....I can see that you really are realizing what unique musicians Metallica are....unmatched in so many ways

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you again Stig! Yeah, you were right, this was intense. Definitely keen to hear the live version now. A few people mentioned a performance from 85 as well so need to decide which one to do. Thanks for the new suggestion. Really enjoying hearing more from them so I'll add this to the list. Thanks! :)

[@stigpetersen9701]

Sound- and recording quality much much better in 2009-version.......but of course they were younger and more energetic in the '80-ies.....but the 2009-version still kicks serious a..

[@TheCobhc2005]

I would recommend starting with the 1985 Hammerfest version. It was the premier of the song live before it was even released in 1986 and you get to see Metallica in their prime and at their best. The move to the 09 version. 🤘✌🤘

[@andyk2607]

For some new Metallica please react to Moth into Flame. It has some similarities to disposable heroes. Think you'll love it

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks Andy! :D

[@bazkeen]

No let up in this song. Right from the get go. Full on. Some dark lyrics in this one. Unfortunately very true. Just when you think it's over🤣🤣

[@ThomFoolery1]

Yes mate, no foreplay or nothing, just full throttle for 8 minutes haha. They don't make em like this anymore, eh.

[@bazkeen]

@@ThomFoolery1 They certainly don't👍🏻👍🏻

Metallica makes you sweat. When your on ear phones other people in the room will ask you if your okay because your breathing changes to match the music

My friend of misery

[@jmanil]

I haven't heard this song in such a long time.... I was a Marine infantryman in a helicopter assault company. In 1993, We jammed to this as we got battle ready to fly from the Navy ship over Mogadishu, Somalia. It hyped us and the running joke was we were disposable hero's . Loading ammo, grenades, claymore mines and mortar rounds was never so enjoyable to this song. -Semper Fi

[@ooloncolluphid360]

The live version is never an improvement on the experience. They spent months crafting a song in the studio to make an immersive experience, live is just them bashing it out night on night. Live is about a shared experience and that doesn't come across well on youtube and all you are left with is... bashing it out.

[@nonserviam751]

I disagree completely. The Seattle and Moscow performances are in point of fact. But, I guess it helps to already be familiar with the songs.

[@andreshernandez1180]

Reacting to live versions is really reacting to the performance, not to the song, you need to have heard it beforehand. Official videos are also distracting.
