Reacting to "ENTER SANDMAN" by Metallica | BANGER

I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here, on the Trying White Music series lmao

i think you will enjoy the moscow vid. after, for a flip-side experience, i highly recommend you check out a concert they did with the san francisco orchestra in 1999. any of those would be great, but if you still haven't heard 'master of puppets', then that would be the go-to. best wishes to you edit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqDPm2hqna6MZtUsi=0ixeE7Htno9Ts6gt

The song is from the perspective of the sand man who, in fairy tales, is responsible for putting you to sleep and entering a dream state. The sandman has some horror connotations.

@lakewestchase my mom always told me that the sandman was who put the stuff in the corners of your eyes as you slept. She called cleaning the corners of your eyes in the morning, "getting rid of the sandman"

[@paulbrooks4395]

You make me appreciate songs that are old to me like they are the newest joy. This song is about nightmares and dreams of evil things, being afraid to go to bed because of the monsters that are near. The song "One" has the most messed up story behind it and the meaning of the words are screwed up hard. The movie it refers to, "Johnny Got His Gun", is a deeply twisted look at war and what the military industrial complex tries to do by selling lies to poor, dumb folk to get them to fight in countries they never heard of in the name of freedumb".

Regarding their status in the white hall of fame - 2 guys in the band are white - James Hatfield (vocals/guitar) and Lars Ulrich (drums) - but the other 2 are not - Kirk Hammett( lead guitar) is Filipino and Rob Trujillo (bass) is Mexican/Native American - although their bassist was a white guy when this song was recorded.

Don't know how hard you want to go with this experiment, but... If you're up for some Death Metal.... Arch Enemy - Handshake with Hell This isn't even their best song, but it's a really good example of how she can go from the Death Metal growl to Clear Vox in a snap. She's incredible. And you know that guitar solo hits hard too. Though, I think Death Metal might be a bit of an acquired taste. Also, I just found your channel today and I think I watched the entire playlist in one sitting. I had it playing while I was working, but it was really a pleasure to see you getting into Rage against the Machine, Korn, Foo Fighters, etc... You also got me appreciating Billy Joel more than I ever did before, so thank you for that. Love your reactions. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@LDC4th]

You better get a playlist started! You just opened a Pandora’s Box of BANGERS! The big name hits are all awesome too, but I LOVE some of the ‘B-side’ tracks that don’t get the same commercial love - No Leaf Clover (my personal absolute favorite), King Nothing, Seek & Destroy, Cyanide, Frantic, Shoot Me Again, Invisible Kid…. Their Saint Anger album (which has the last three songs I listed) got a LOT of hate, mostly because it was a bit of a departure from their earlier work, but it resonated with me as a teenager when it came out. Their newest release Lux Aeterna also has some incredible riffs - My two favorites from that have been the title track and Sleepwalk my life away. It was a HUGE cultural outrage when they cut their hair in the early 90s - they were the start of thrash metal, but were absolutely an essential part of the hair metal/headbanger scene. Didn’t change their musical prowess though.

[@nim4464]

St. Anger is absolutely overhated, it was so relatable to me when i was in middle school, like its not perfect but its a good album

[@ericmetcalf3327]

The title of the latest album is 72 Seasons. I agree Lux Aeterna is also a banger, as is Sleepwalk my Life Away and so is If Darkness Had a Son.
