I highly recommend listening to Slaughter To Prevail!! Any song from the new album!!!

nah he tweakin

This song is about drugs and how they become your master until your inevitable desth

It was a song about how drugs will make you their master and burn your life faster; they make you a puppet. Metallica songs are deep.

The tempo of the song depicts the highs and lows of cocaine. Chop your breakfast on a mirror.

Also Metallica: get wasted with 🍺 instead! 😂

@@jasminlamoureux3381 Not just alcohol... They were on hard drugs. One of them overdosed and the singer had a hard time kicking the habit for a loooong, long time into their existence.

@@Arrynek01 yeah but they basically were saying by experience don’t do drugs also back then drugs were being used by so many celebrities so it was almost normal

@@jasminlamoureux3381 btw these songs are meant for 18+ that’s why they got into don’t do drugs cause when your 18+ your decisions matter and can fuck up your life they ain’t meant for 12 yr olds they can’t control who listens to it but it’s meant for 18+

My dad was listening to this back in his day and his neighbors were like, “he’s listening to the music of devils”.

Also the song mirrors the feeling of the peaks and valleys of addiction, with the first two verses and chorus representing the frantic need for the next hit, the first solo (with the softer guitars) representing the calming euphoria post consumption, the second much heavier solo representing the violent and painful feeling of coming down or the hangover, and the last verse and chorus starts the cycle over again.

They are really good at making you "feel" the different emotions during the changeups. Fade To Black is another good example of them doing this.

@@batteen92 This is the best explanation I've seen in the comments. You really didn't leave anything to add, lol. I like how you even mention that the music itself (if you muted the lyrics) mimics the rollercoaster of addiction.

This man is right 💯 the song is pretty much telling you how addictive drugs are and they ruin everything in your life

@Korbyn J Lynch the song is talking about people who are woke and how kills society and Freedoms

All music is music of satan for a true believer. The only songs you're allowed to listen to is songs about how amazing Jesus is

They also have a lot of songs about how the San Francisco metal club scene in the 80s was banging. Whiplash, Battery, and so on.

@@Me_Gustaf wat

it's not black metal ....

Megadeth: I hate the government * 18 solos*

That’s insane imma have to check this out

Disposable heroes

It does not get more complimentary than that, that is like a knights cross for a soldier.

Yup me too

I tried...the bacon and eggs made a right mess ..🤭😉

Yep .. he missed THAT -- his opinions just hit the "TRASH" side of the isle.

@@MarkSalterSaltyTalk a bit harsh.at least hes being open minded and not jumping to assumptions man

Right? How did he miss that...in fact he missed the whole message of the song. Very disappointing

I always knew this song was about a battle but never knew what that battle was. I was too young when I was into metal to understand but knowing now what the true meaning is…. It’s mind blowing. Everything about this song is beautifully constructed.

Probably the best description of this song I have ever read. Im amazed when someone doesnt "get it" after the first time hearing ir.

no wonder i like this song so much

best explanation ever!!! I never understood the slow down part until now

I always viewed the slow down as when they take the drugs and they fall into their bliss. And when it builds back up its simulating the come down from the high and the craving coming back.

same, love it

That's Kirk for you. A thrash metal god

Crucifixion might be needed

@@redmist6131 Bit harsh. But the sentiment remains.😳😅😂

@@jasonregister3494 harsh crimes call for harsh punishment and pausing on a Metallica solo is one of the highest crimes in music you can do

Copyright

Womp womp it’s called a KZfaq channel he can pause it whenever he wants you don’t decide that for him🤣 tf

Sucking darkest clear

More is all you need

Needlework the way...

You could see his face when he heard that line too, I thought for sure that was a dead giveaway. I was surprised he didn’t pause and comment on that line

​@@maxxdoutt3585 Yeah I was surprised too. I feel like that's the line where like 99% of people finally stop and say "Oh this is definitely about drugs"

Fix me!

Yes it does hits really hard for me

Yep .. he missed THAT -- his opinions just hit the "TRASH" side of the isle.

Literally no pun intended but I read that and thought wow that’s sad but true and then realized what I just said

All been there

Max Cavelera from GTA4!?

@@WaylonMoone Sepultura

"Energy derives from both the plus and negative." - Metallica

Yeah I’ve heard the song plenty over the years but that Stranger Things scene was perfect and I’m listening to this song every day now….

A true masterpiece of a song

So true. Begins with the obsession, the craving driving you mad then eventually you get the fix and woah, you transition into the bliss of the high. Too soon though the come down happens and you're back into the swirling pounding hell of the cravings. Absolute genius.

WOW! The interlude is the high! Wow!!!! Then it goes back into the real life of an addict once it says “fix me”

@@paulsmith2516 it blows your mind when you realize it! james is a fckng genius.

Like being in the eye of the tornado, before the withdrawal comes.

I really hope he does. Such a classic

I actually got him to do One on a livestream!

@@waynesparks9660 Is there a vod of that?

@@waynesparks9660 yess please I need to see that.

Very sadly apropos to and for our times.

It still is, the thing that s every type of music that used to dominate for periods has fans who think it has declined, it's not true, there is just no mainstream anymore and by this commercial TV and radio have far less control in shaping tastes. The rise of the internet and in particular KZfaq has meant a democratising of music, it's all out there for you to find as you wish. Don't believe the low that certain types of music are no longer relevant, it is good it will have an audience.

@@ninagray4441 Definitely a really good way to put this!

Dude is the epoch of what you imagine a metal god to be… his riffs and guitar playing are beyond top notch, one of the best songwriters in all of music, one of the best lyricists and one of the best and most recognizable frontmen ever in history… he’s what people envision in their mind when they think ‘rockstar’ and have no reference, it’s like he’d be an image that’d automatically pop up lol… but dude is legendary, such is Metallica.. and the fact he can play this shit while singing, looking like a badass and control the crowds is just a whole other level.. he’s a straight boss to the Nth degree

For real. Try playing this whole song through on guitar. Need Popeye forearms to keep up with the all down-picking.

James has one of the strongest attacks in metal

With all due respect James is the king of metal, and among the best that rock has to offer. He's the primary song writer and the front man.

Master of the down stroke

That was never a single.

@@ninagray4441 🤦

There metal get it right

Literally in there name bur ur good

@@ademkonjevic edit

The And Justice For All...... album is my favorite but we all have our preferences I like that album because of fast riffs an solos im that album, especially thw Live Binge Purge Seattle concert

don't forget load, i love those "that's the same band ?!" reactions... and the songs too, love the songs

Yeah...who does that...

not only that, he cuts parts out

@@stefanhoefnagels7832 that’s just for copyright.

TWICE!

@@13YoJest13 it still got claimed though. music usually gets claimed if it's over like 20 seconds long as far as I understand

Settle down, Gunther. (But also, yes)

I like that one solo where he uses a wha wha pedal.....Now THAT one is memorable.

@@vladddrakk3032 and when James said “Yeh-heayuh!”

@@Spthomas47 best? No. Memorable? You betcha lol

spot on matt

I can verify this, worked a Metallica concert in Louisville a couple years back, and let me tell you, this song hit WAY different live than just on the album. I was working usher/security at the KFC Yum! Center when they were playing and not gonna lie, I ROCKED. OUT. with them.

Same this is so good when he’s knocking his head on the solo 🤣

He did Nothing Else Matters like two years ago. Me thinking: well Metallica is such a legendary band so he probably done a plenty of reactions to them... Nope. Only one song. I was like "yo where the hell are the Metalica reactions? Did they get copywritten or some shit?" XD

It definitely is the greatest thrash metal song in its own right. Nothing comes close to it

and the goverment the masters of all the puppets people who obay them

that's because it's so crazy that ppl don't think about the lyrics at first

same man. love rap and love thrash

Great take bro

I can relate big time man.. I grew up in Pontiac Michigan which is basically a mini Detroit, I’m only 30mins away.. but it’s a very urban, hood with a huge variety of us poor folks.. I grew up on all sorts of music and thankful I did, most DONT get that great opportunity and experience.. I got country and gospel from my Gparents, my mom and her siblings were mainly rock, but also being in the hood I got all sorts of hip hop, r&b, soul, Motown (especially being in MI), on top of my Mexican and Puerto Rican friends showing me Tejano music and a blend of a lot shit.. def made me a far different and better well rounded person… but still to this day, pushing 40, I love everything and even have been playing music for 30yrs now and Metallica is that band that really kicked it all off.. still one of my favorite all time bands.. but they are def a different beast compared to most and it’s evident with how long they’ve stayed around, relevant and popular, def legends and I doubt we’ll ever see a band get as huge as they are or have the type of impact ever again

U doubt, never heard thrash metal song about bitches or money and smoking weed...Thrash metal has instruments and rap doesn't..It's not hard to sample some song from 60 or 70 and than call it 'My beat'..So i doubt that thay have a lot in common, they don't..not trying to attack but it is what it is...and it's clear that u are new to this or u didn't go into other stuff, there are like dozen of other awesome bands such as Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Anthrax, Megadeath(of older bands) and many more underground and heavier form of Thrash metal called Teutonic Thrash Metal with bands such as Kreator, Sodom..etc🤘

@@qarmatianprophet3199 You’re ignorant, grow up

"Chop your breakfast on a mirror".

kinda sounded like a few different drugs, sounded like heroin at one point pump you veins with something was the lyric

@DrkNinja Veins that pump with fear Sucking darkeness clear Is in reference to the H.

Its about ALL drugs. Its absolutely not referencing any one particular drug. The entire band has said that over and over in many different interviews. Every member of the band has been affected one way or another by addiction (their own or a loved ones) and this song references them all.

RiP Dime and Vinnie! 💔💪💪😭😭😭😭😭🙏

Add This Love as well

IM BROKEN!!

Walk

Thats a brutally depressing song 💔😭 Given when James wrote it, its understandable and might be one of their best ever :)

Good man

Hell yeah, Battery is forever!!!

LMAO, not even in the top 10,000 best. Its MetallicAs most overrated album. Calling Master Of Puppets the greatest album of all times in any genre is blasphemy. Ride the Lightning and Kill 'Em All destroy this nonsense. If you believe this crap is better than Black Sabbath Vol 4 or Sabotage your tastebuds are broken. I bet you like Reign In Blood by Slayer too lmfao.

Followed by the withdrawal and need of a hit - and then the hit itself.

Exactly 💯
