[@brandon.mart00]

@@corzahazard444 It's instinct. It just happens.

[@thecreaturezoid478]

@@brandon.mart00 Eh, I mean sort of. It's part instinct for sure. Noticing yourself moving you head to music is part of what inevitably attracts people to heavy metal when they first become exposed to it. But you definitely learn to do it, even if you're not consciously practicing it. When you're a young kid and you're getting your first exposure into the heavy metal scene, you notice the other people headbanging around you and you take influence from that. When you're on stage enough times, you notice a lot of things about the audience. One of them is that groups of friends almost always headbang the same way. That's because they subconsciously learn and refine the techniques of their friends. So yeah, while the act itself may be inherent (dancing is inherent in humans, and headbanging is, after all, a form of dance), people definitely learn to do it better as they go along.

Metal music is potential energy and when you combine it with a human who is open and listens it becomes kinetic. About 20 seconds before you said something I said to myself: We're going to turn her into a head-banger; LOL. Everybody moves their own way so no self-consciousness, we're just glad to have you join us :) Some of us grew up accumulating unexpressed anger. This music was a way for me to tap into the intensity and let out the anger without directing it at someone else. Their song about someone institutionalized helped me with my daily life.

Some great recommendations here already. Megadeth is directly related to Metallica, but has it's very own style. I would recommend the songs "Symphony of Destruction", "Peace Sells", "Tout le Monde" and "Holy Wars". Pantera is another milestone of heavy music, for sure. "Cemetary Gates" is a must-hear. The official live video for "Domination", shot in Moscow, is a really impressive document of their unbelievable stage presence and musical abilities. "Walk" and "This Love" are some mighty headbangers. Their guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell was without any doubt one of the most influential artists on expressive modern guitar playing, technically and artistically unique at that time and unsurpassed in it's perfection (THAT tone was copied a lot). Anthrax is a band that is very strong with a unique style, some extraordinarily well written lyrics and also a lot of self-ironic humor. A masterpiece is the whole "Persistence of Time" album from 1990, that is maybe as important when it comes to Anthrax as "Master of Puppets" is to Metallica. "Is still relevant today, actually the songs are - timeless/future proof. ""Time" is not only the first song of the album, but also a great song to start out on Anthrax. The according live video from Auburn, 1991, also shows their great stage qualities. "Keep it in the Family" is maybe my second favorite of this band ever. Anthrax are together with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer the classical BIG FOUR of Thrash Metal (each with their own strong influences on any extreme metal genre thereafter). Have fun exploring these great bands. All of them have something to offer in terms of lyrics and emotional impact, additionally to being musically and artistically excellent.

Jesus the time sure flies. I remember back in the summer of 86 hearing this album for the first time going into 6th grade. It was the game changer for me. Changed my life hearing this band. They actually saved my life. If it wasnt for James Hetfield i might be dead. That's the truth. This was before computers in everyone's house and no internet. I found out about Metallica thru a older friend of mine who died that exact same summer he introduced me to my favorite band. RIP Darren every August when I listen to Master of Puppets I think of my good friend who died way too young high on acid and wrecking his three wheeler in a parking lot smashed his head into a curb and his brains flew out. The stain on the parking lot is still there 34 years later right in the McDonald's drive thru. Sorry for the graphic story but it's the truth and I could have ended up like my good friend. I miss him and just like him another good friend who loved Metal like me died on the 4th of july by hit and run and I'll never get to see him again either. All of my close friends are gone but I still have my memories of them and listening to this life changing band for me. People always say why do you like metal so much? I tell them it saved my fuckin life you don't understand unless you been thru what ive been thru and Metal saved me. I used to do huge amounts of cocaine and booze and in my 20s even though I was productive and always took care of my priorities I would go on 4 and 5 day binges and people wouldn't see me for days id be in a different world but I always had Metallica there. And when James went thru his exorcism of his demons in 2001 i did the same thing too. I didn't go to rehab i just quit everything and changed my whole life. I quit my job and quit hanging around with the friends i would use with and I just started working out every day and just stopped smoking cigarettes drinking booze and alcohol, no more Cocaine and smoking weed, snorting coke all night thru the morning. Done. May be i shouldn't be posting this but im not ashamed of it because i chose to do it, and I chose to stop. Im glad I stopped because like i said all of my "friends" I used to hang with are gone. Im only 45 but when you burn the candle at both ends like that if you keep doing it you will meet the grim reaper very soon. I quit in my 20s so that's good. I have a nice life now a beautiful daughter and I still have those demons from my past but i just blast them away with a intense workout and im good. That's what saved me listening to heavy metal and lifting it. 😆 I love the channel and seen Metallica at least 15 times in 30 years which isn't that many times but they deliver every time. I did get to meet Jason Newsted back in 1997 and got to tell him you guys saved my life man. He said im glad your still with us brother and shook my hand. I almost broke down but he made me laugh by getting right in my face and screaming METAL FOR LIFE! Fuck ya metal for life.

When their older albums were made, none of the members went to any sort of music school. Aside for Cliff Burton. He was the only one who went to music school and introduced the rest to so many other things that spice music up. (I remember he specifically mentioned harmonies in a short interview) These people, these young adults, James, Cliff, Kirk and Lars made this out of pure, raw and explosive talent. The band has had a beginning which is really inspiring and motivating to me.

A large portion of Metal music is the same. Tackling difficult issues and addressing deep levels of emotion.

Your review actually compelled me to rent One Flew... Wow mega disturbing and contextualizes Sanitarium - one of my favorites for years. As a big fan of early Metallica, especially the Cliff Burton years, I always knew they had something bigger than just the music - the thoughtful lyrics of James Hetfield were at this point I believe the best of his career. New insight into this song now has me wondering what else I might have missed out on from this and other albums. Now, again you have really got me thinking - I’m very impressed by your open mind and thought clarity in analyzing the music. I’m particularly fond of seeing you express the raw emotion and sharing that with us the first time you experience the music. I find we have syncopated ‘head banging’ and often similar expressions as the songs proceed - it is heartily one of my favorite video series to date. Thank you so much and keep them coming.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Awesome- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is an absolute classic. Just stumbled across a few of your reaction videos and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised. I'd have to peg you as early 20's, yet you seem to gravitate to early-to-mid 80's metal, which is awesome. Old School Metallica is some of the best metal ever made (though they were considered sell-outs by their faithful listeners for their Black album, that might be my favorite album of theirs). Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you; experiencing one of my all-time favorite bands again through your ears. I think you would REALLY love to experience Tool. ;)

[@yuggothproductions]

There’s no right or wrong way to headbang! Just feel it in your soul and let it rip!!!

[@oscarrios6048]

No head banging required when your eyes are being opened by greatness.

[@captaindank9568]

You should listen to another of the big 4. Megadeth-Holy Wars, Slayer-Angel of Death, Anthrax-Madhouse

[@captaindank9568]

Johnny Ka-Pow! I was thinking either that or Madhouse, both are awesome songs. Such an underrated band

[@Lancet711]

Anything off Among or Spreading for Anthrax would be a great start. Unless you want to early with Neil’s vocals instead of Joey, and check out Deathriders on Fistful of Metal.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

So refreshing to see an intelligent woman experiencing and appreciating (and connecting to) some of the best heavy metal ever created (and from a much more recent generation!). Great music is for everyone- regardless of age, race or gender. Love your reaction videos- keep them coming...

[@patrickfouhy9102]

I just love your videos. I grew up OBSESSED with Metallica, and as I've aged the place they filled hasn't been replaced, but has gotten more company as my taste in music has changed and evolved over the years. Watching your videos reminds me to listen to these fantastic songs again, and remember how it felt to experience this music for the first time. Thanks. Keep it up!!

Next you should do something off their 1st album. Kill em All. I recommend the 4 Horsemen. It's awesome and I'm female too. Not that that should matter much but sometimes it does in little ways when it comes to music. I also recommend you listening to another band that was around a couple years after Metallica came out and that's Pantera. The song Cemetary Gates is an absolute must! Try Pantera I think you'll like them.

Sabbath would be great. Reaction people so often get sent toward the really arcane stuff too early. Sabbath is a great band to see where Metal came from.

Music is a universal language and we can all learn how to appreciate certain details and nuances. We all have our favorite moments in many songs and when we see a young person like you picking up the vibe the same places, well that just put a big smile on my face. Love it.

This was the first song I listened by Metallica in the 80's, which turned me into a sucker for Metallica. I was just a teenager, and it mold my music taste since then. It's refreshing to see young people enjoying it as well. Nice job, great vids. Keep up. You're in the right way. You should react to Enter Sandman live in Moscow 91.

[@richgagnon513]

This is truly one of the most under-rated Metallica songs ever. The blending of storytelling and music is top notch. If you don't get chills a couple times listening to this, I don't know what to say. This whole album is stellar. It captures the pinnacle of this era of the band. Loved seeing your reactions to certain parts SLANZZY. I'd like to recommend you listen to a Canadian band named COLD DRIVEN. You might start with a song called "Steel Chambers" off their second album.

[@metallikdan]

Not underrated at all. If anything, it’s overplayed.

[@possiblepresent3724]

My mom loves Metallica and she said this album in particular was overplayed basically from 1987 all the way to 1995 on radio stations and bars. But even though this album was overplayed and it’s basically very commercial it’s a masterpiece. Every song on this album is amazing, if you want to talk about an “underrated” song in this album it would be Damage Inc. This album is easily on the Top 10 Metal albums of all time.

Next on the bucket list - try the parallel between the movie "Exodus: Gods & Kings" and Metallica's "Creeping Death"...good stuff...and btw hello puppy. :)

[@pierrotlefou94]

The real parallel is between "Creeping Death" and "The Tenth Commandment" (Cecil B. Demille movie with Charleton Heston). Particularly this verse of the song "So let it be written, So let it be done" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4DRm36GmN2qZsU "Exodus: Gods & Kings" is a poor attempt to rationalize the Exodus. One of the worst Ridley Scott's movie in my opinion.

[@number1ace2gaming97]

@@pierrotlefou94 While that is accurate, the thing is, you can actually VIEW "Creeping Death" and "Exodus: Gods & Kings" put to video in a manner sufficient to get an understanding of the events of Exodus regardless of Mr. Scott's intentions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3eQe5Wgidx2rbs Very difficult to do with the actual "Book of Exodus" or "The Tenth Commandment" isn't it?

Def to live is to die . It’s a tribute to bass player Cliff Burton who died on tour with band in a bus accident, he was only 24. This instrumental is EPIC and gives me chills every time I listen to it.

first glad to see another hear and feel the music such as you do. i'm a 50ish old school rock and metal guy myself but listen to lots of genres as i never want to be one dimensional. its 4am here in Mich and i'm checking the latest music and such when i ran across your metallica reaction videos. i watched all and love(d) your raw connection to each and at which formed my own(non perverse)connection with you. not only do these songs put you in places to some that may feel relatable but on their own evoke emotions whether through the lyrics or by virtue of the music itself. in my time i think i've lived these feelings that they and others sing of. Some of my past depressions were helped through with this very music. i now look and love to listen to songs like " good man" by devour the day. if you get a chance give it a listen. keep up your good work and openness to explore as there are many lessons to be learned in life and you never know who might be a teacher
