FYI, in 2016 this album Master of Puppets was added to the US Library of Congress registry of works that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

I love these Metallica reactions. Not even a complete Metallica fan either. Metal has a stereotype that it's all hate, anger, devil worship and other nonsense. You guys are seeing, and reading first hand there is a lot of intellectualism and provoking thoughts behind the songs. Just like lyrical hip hop. The instruments to produce the music may be completely different but there is a meaningful message. Good on this channel for their thoroughness. Not just for metal, but for all genres of music

Song 1) Battery -- about being controlled by anger | Song 2) Master of Puppets -- controlled by drugs | Song 3) The Thing That Should Not be -- controlled by insanity | Song 4) Sanitarium -- controlled by people who think you're insane but maybe you aren't | Song 5) Disposable Heroes -- controlled by patriotism or the draft or whatever sends you to war | Song 6) Leper Messiah -- controlled by religion | Song 7) Orion -- just a cool instrumental but I consider this the moment of bliss when the listener realizes their own master... Song 8) Damage Inc... what the listener does to the master that is now exposed... just my take, but there does seem to a consistent theme with calling out our masters.

This song hits hard , I am an Army recon Desert Storm veteran and no one gets this song more that someone who spent time in the suck. Loving all your reactions guys, keep being you and having fun.

I saw them twice as a teenager in the 80's. This Disposable Heroes was their best live performance... RIDICULOUS 🤘🏾

loved the body language change of all five once the lyrics kicked in and the meaning started coming out. they got it

The best song on the album by far. Disposable Heroes Master Of Puppets Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Whole record is about control - drugs, violence, disease, war, mental illness. This album sits at the top for me as far as metal goes. It's so powerful and well recorded and they did it when they were young. Metallica is where they are because of their level of creativity. They just have it.

I think its time for you guys to experience the most aggressive song by Metallica, a little rare gem that even fans sometimes forgets called Dyers Eve, known for the most aggressive drums by Lars Ulrich, and the most technical advanced guitar solo by Kirk Hammet, and some of the most wild and raw lyrics by James Hetfield.

One of my absolute favourite Metallica songs, Used to be obsessed with this song in high school, still obsessed with it tbh

"Orion" is their best instrumental. Must react to that one next. Studio version best.

This song means A LOT to me 23 YEARS IN CORE SO I WAS DISPOSABLE HERO BUT I LASTED LONG TIME IN CORE WARS THAT I FOUGHT

As a metal chick it beyond warms my heart to see life long hip hop fans give metal a chance ( I like both). So your Metallica reactions just make me smile and not stop 😁

Leper Messiah from this same album. It's about how evil men use people's faith to control and rob them. Great song

Love every time you guys do Metallica reactions. Plz keep doing every song per album. That's the best way to understand them and the music 🤘

"Where ever i may roam" by Metallica Must be played

Fire reaction as always fellas!! Add ‘The Four Horsemen’ to your list. Incredible song as well

Master of puppets is unbelievable album, and to think they wrote it in their 20’s… crazy!

First four albums are a masterclass in metal!

This album is all killer no filler. "Orion", "Damage Inc", "The thing that should not be" just to name a few. Gotta be my favorite Metallica album.

Disposable Heroes is a Masterpiece!

As the daughter of a Vietnam Vet, this was my favorite song from Metallica. Love your reactions!

Every song on this album worth a reaction guys. Rock on 🤘

James Hetfield (Vocalist and rhythm guitarist) is the absolute master of riffing. Noone better!

This is my favorite song on the album. I love the whole album. The speed at which theyre playing is extraordinary.

I was waiting for this moment

I was 15 when this album came out in 1986 (I'm 51 now.) I used to put this on my Walkman on cassette to walk 2 miles to school everyday. I woke up to their albums sometimes. No one where I was knew who they were and I actually got ridiculed for having their logo as a patch on my Jean jacket. No one could pronounce their name right. Most people said "metal licka". To see you you guys finally seeing what I literally grew up with every day my Sophomore year in High School is pretty cool. I love watching you guys get the beat, appreciate the music, and then the deep understanding behind the lyrics. Thank you for taking the time to understand and not just assuming it's not worth it.

DAMAGE INC. ON THE SAME ALBUM MASTER OF PUPPETS THE LAST SONG ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM AND ONE OF THE FASTEST

Thanks for this one guys. I haven’t listened to that track in 20 plus years. I almost forgot how great it is. Lots of tempo changes and riffs galore.

I love watching you dive into one of my all-time favorite band Metallica been listening since 86. Also can’t wait for you to dip your toes in the tool and believe me the tool army will be on your side

One of if not the greatest metal album ever produced! Master Of Puppets is legendary and you're seeing why!

Do yourselves a favor and start watching/listening to Metallica live, especially in the 80's like Seattle '89. You wont regret it.

"Fight fire with fire" is another underrated gem by them

Thank you for playing the tune it's almost SLAYER time repentless

Nothing makes my soul more pleased than to see 5 black guys headbanging to Metallica. There is hope for us yet fellas! Enjoyed this video.

This is a musical masterpiece. The whole album. My favorite!

This song gives me goosebumps, which doesn’t happen often from music.

I have to say, I’m new to your reactions, but I love it. Haha. It reminds me so much of me and my friends busting each others balls, listening to music - some more into the song, others into the lyrics, etc. great chemistry guys.

I’m so glad you guys took a liking to Metallica and it’s so cool to watch you guys explore them deeper. The more you listen to them, the more respect you’ll gain for them. Keep ‘em coming guys!

Metallica is a fantastic band. They have deep meanings to there songs. You guys should definitely do a reaction to metallicas “one”. That is a good one!!

Frayed ends of Sanity No Leaf Clover Am I Evil ...... probably some of the dopest musical work from them

My favorite Metallica song ever, and I’ve been a die-hard fan since 1991 as a dorky 13 year old. They’ve honestly helped me overcome some heavy sh*t and I love to watch the younger generation discover these songs and lyrics. I’ve been binge-watching your Metallica reactions because they’re so pure and honest and I love it.

I love it when you dig into lyrics ... good song, great reaction

Love the reactions. Thank you guys for having an open mind and all the best to your and your family. Peace.

Holy shit! This is one of my fav tracks! They have an AMAZING live version in Mexico!

Welcome to the best Metallica song ever. Flawless rhythm, solo, everything.

Loving the Metallica reactions, y’all! I’m glad y’all are looking up the meaning of the songs before listening that way there’s minimal misinterpretation. Keep up the good work!

I have always loved Metallica, grew up on them with cousins that were 10 years older than me introducing me as a kid. Seeing your reactions has brought a lot of happiness to me as it reminds of what it was like for me when I first listened to them. I love seeing people who were not previously in the metal scene listen and really enjoy something that I enjoy so much. You have also got me relistening to all their albums in order again, just to relive some old memories.

So many good Metallica songs. Dyers Eve. Please do Dyers Eve.

Leper Messiah is another great one off this album. It’s a seriously dead-on point “control” song!

Guys, I love your channel and watch it all the time. I was in the Air Force for 26.5 years. We were trained just like the other branches of the service. War was what we prepared for. First 10 years was just exercising and learning how to operate during a war time situation... train, train train. It was us against the Russians and it was at the height of the Cold War. Then we had Desert Storm and I deployed and fought for our country. Got the shit scared out of me a few times and it did not really matter. We did what we did and dying was a consequence for keeping America free. Then from 94 until I retied in 07 I was involved in constant conflict. It did not matter who we were fighting against, orders were orders and you follow them, no questions asked. War was just what we signed up for. I put myself in harms way more than once and at the end of the day, I made it. It did not matter. I could have hid behind a desk but I volunteered for anything and anything. That is what we do. If I was to have died, I know it would have not been for nothing and my wife would have understood... in her eyes I would have been a hero. But I lived and my wife still looks at me as a hero. I did not do this for myself but for you. Rudy, MSgt USAF, Retired 1981-2007 AMMO! Keep on keeping it real my brothers!

It makes my heart glad when I see the things I loved as a kid being experienced and appreciated by new generations. Thanks for the video!

A great track off Master of Puppets that goes with the theme of the album of being controlled, this one a soldier controlled by the higher ups as just a tool to be used and discarded.

I absolutely love how all of yall are expanding yourselves to different genres of music. Metal music is more then loud, fast playing instruments. The lyrics is what gets your attention.

I love that yall put your arms up, air riding a chopper motorcycle, that's when you know the music is 100 Killin it

this is one of my favorite slight sleeper metallica songs. that chorus goes too hard

Love it. Been waiting for this one. Now onto Damage inc

Nice bunch of friends enjoying Metallica so cool.

My weird friend played me this song when I was 17 in 1988 and it just sounded like a freight train coming through the wall, I had never heard anything like it in my young life, he 'taped' it for me and I went home and must have listened to it 30 times, I went deep into their music for many years, they left and continue to leave an unmovable mark on me as man.

You guys nailed it, the entire album of master of puppets is about being controlled, whether it's from: drugs (Master of Puppets), military (Disposable Heros), anger/abuse (Battery), insanity (Welcome Home), religion (Leper Messiah), corporations (Damage, INC), schizophrenia (The Thing That Should Not Be), uncertainty (Orion)

Try Damage Inc, Dyers Eve or Shortest Straw next!! You will lose you minds 100% Fire with fire and Ride the lightening are face melters too!

I am happy to see you youngins enjoying music from my days love you guys!!! Do yourselves a favor and listen to them on headphones!!!!

Love seeing you guys go back through Metallica's catalogue. Love to see you guys react to "Eye of the Beholder". This track is as relevant today, as it was over 30 years ago when it was written.

The Four Horsemen,... enough said. It's one of the hardest guitar riffs to get down while learning to play.

Next Metallica song you should check out is Orion I promise it will not disappoint. One of my favorite instrumentals.

My guys! The Metallica reactions keep rolling in and are fantastic! Best wishes brothers!

Loving all these recent music and sports reactions! I like that you've started watching the lyric videos to really catch what Metallica are saying in these songs :)

orion, sanitarium, sad but true...all three are great songs

You've GOT TO REACT TO THEIR LIVE CONCERT IN SEATTLE 1989!!!! That will give you true appreciation of their talent, to see it performed live! As opposed to whack ass music today.

I just called my Uncle who’s a real history buff especially American Military history. He worked at Maritime Military college here in New York until he just retired and I asked him about this song and I got a serious history lesson! Point as usual thank you guys! Much love to you over there. ❤❤❤

Damn the dedication of being accurate at such pace with handplayed instruments.

You guys should do be painkiller by Judas Priest

You guys are awesome...love watching your videos and your commentary...keep it up!

What an amazing song huh guys! I always have wished Metallica would play this live every one of the 10 times I have seen them live. But I have only seen it once. Hope they play it on this next tour coming up! Great reaction again guys!

Russian soldiers should give this track a listen. Applies to them at this time, very accurately.

I honestly think Metallica is better live🤘

Now THIS is a song you MUST put into your workout playlist!!! Plus the depth of the anti war message - it is all bars!

Hell yeah!! I was waiting for this one. The gallop riff in the beginning goes hard!!

Definitely should do the unforgiven that’s a great some you guys will love as well

This tape was in heavy rotation in my car for years back in the late 1980's. Great from start to finish. It's their best work.

This is one of the Metallica songs that the lyrics really hit me. Both my grandfather's drafted at rhe end of ww2 and into the Korean War. Both survived with bad PTSD, my one grandfather just passes away last July at 94 years old and the 21 gun salute at his funeral was beautiful. The way metallica can create a battlefield in your eyes through music is amazing. The drums sound like guns and I csnt explain how amazing this song is.

Welcome home sanitarium, ride the lighting & ...and justice for all for the next metallica covers. All bangers.

You guys are awesome love your reactions. Great channel!

One of my fav Metallica songs. Thanks for showing it!!! “Old soldiers never die, only the young ones do…..”

Im about to see Metallica live for the 10th & 11th times…I love watching youngsters discovering & appreciating them as much as I have for over 30 years.

Again. Love this channel! You five guys over a pancake breakfast. Any time, my treat.

Love ya'lls content! Another awesome reaction video to my personal favorite band! :)

Sooner or later you guys will react to the band called "Slayer". It's and old school thrash metal band just like Metallica but Slayer is a lot darker. A lot. That's where you will witness that some metal bands, especially veterans of the genre, can dive veeery deep and and in a veeery dark places. You might not like what Slayer is singing about but you will definately appreciate it's intricacy. On top of that, the way they play their metal is... well let's say the music itself creates a hellish vibe. Love your reactions. Greetings from Russia, Moscow.

*** a couple of intense songs in regards to the effects war had on soldiers would be Alice and Chains "Rooster", and Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce". These songs and the videos to them are incredible. They speak an incredible story for the soldier, what they deal with, experience, and the after effects.

I'm not much of a reaction video watcher, but you guys make it pretty interesting :) The five of you are indivdually quite interesting to watch reacting on this kind of music and lyrics. One goes nuts on solo's, two are into the rythm, one goes for the overall vibe and the thinker analyses the song. Pretty neat and complementary. And yes, most (early) metal is not there to make you feel comfortable, but to make you think. But it's not it's sole purpose though.

As a white dude, who grew up in Marrero, Lafayette, and new orleans having family in all three places, and as a musician here in Louisiana, I love you guys.

I used to "steel myself" for the day's patrol in Iraq 2004, with this song. Still motivates me today :)

One of my favorites! Think of a battlefield with heavy fighting. The song really captures it.

To live is to die... Is one of my favorite songs.. instrumental towards until the end.. Then .. harvest of sorrow. From the Justice album.. My favorite two songs on it..

This is my favorite song from this album & one of the few songs I've never heard Metallica perform. I'm old guys 🤘and get that Houston hat off your head lol! Go Phils ❤️ 💙

I high recommend y’all going to a concert! Watching them live was a dream of mine and done it twice! Life changing

Would love to see you guys react to Metallica's song 'No Leaf Clover' accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony! That concert blew my mind as a teenager and still does over 25 years later. 🤯🤘

I cannot believe the love these men have for everyone and to see how they’ve progressed

ACDC - LET THERE BE ROCK - OFFICIAL VIDEO. Will love it.

This band does everything, you all are in for a fun rabbit hole. Don't miss their live stuff either. Good stuff!
