I really like how black people describe rock and metal musicians. Empress said Lars was playing drums like his life depended on it. That's awesome. I watched this other reaction video and it was a black dude. It was Mr. Crowley by Ozzy and the guy goes, "He was playing that guitar like it owed him money". Great reactions, y'all. I'm lovin' it.

The intro was their tribute to Cliff Burton who passed 3 yrs ago that time..

The intro is called "To Live Is To Die", then they play "Master of Puppets".

“I love the drummer” my thoughts when I first heard them

As a drummer myself, I love when you get excited watching the drummers

Hi Empress. Metallica in 1989 were : Lars Ulrich - drums / James Hetfield - vocals & guitar / Kirk Hammett - guitar / Jason Newstead - bass ( original Bassist Cliff Burton died in a bus crash. Jason in turn has now been replaced by Rob Trujillo) I am delighted you have fallen in love with the music of Metallica. I hope you continue your Metal journey and find it as rewarding and empowering as mine has been. Metallica have so many great songs you can't go wrong. My all time favourite is Fade to Black, but pick any song and I will happily watch you enjoying them in a totally non creepy way, of course!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am particularly impressed that you seem to really enjoy the Heavy side of Metal as most newcomers really struggle. Some Heavy bands you might like to try out for size are : Pantera/ Slipknot/ Megadeth/ Slayer/ Anthrax/ Jinjer/ Gojira/ Tool/ Lorna Shore/ Lamb of God. That should give you plenty of options. I will be content with whatever you choose as long as you continue to enjoy it as whole heartedly. Take care!🤘🤘

The world of heavy metal we grew up in decreed Metallica as one of the big major 'thrash' bands; next to the likes of Slayer and Anthrax and (as an offshoot) Megadeth. Energy and the riff and hyper-criticism was where it stood at; partially inspired by punk, the second wave of British heavy metal and a desire to be iconoclastic in an era of increasingly bland 'hair metal'.

I didn't realize till many years later the real message of this amazing song. All I knew was it Rocked, it was long and it was completely METAL. But watching people react to the song with the Lyrics... I learned just how epic this song really was/is. It goes from drug use then through the pains of full addiction, all the way through to the end to the Real Master behind the drugs.. Death. Amazing that 17-18 year old kids thought up this song and put it into such a musical Metal ride. It got me going back through their songs with lyrics and finding out that these guys are truly amazing artists and the songs i enjoyed over the years were masterpieces. "Better late than never" i Get it now in a completely different way!

Metallica are the best live band the bound between the band and the crowd is fucking amazing horns up metallica 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Empresss!!! THAT was so fantastic; so fun!! Thx so much for reacting to this!! 🤩❤❤❤

Fabulous band!! Really enjoy them!!

Amazing reaction! It's really interesting to see how your reactions vary so much; for example, between Master of Puppets and One!

the drummer is lars ulrich and he is from denmark,like me. true vikings

Wild you posted the seattle show. I was one of those crazy screaming kids :)

THE MISSING SEAT WAS A TRIBUTE TO CLIFF!!!! tear.................................RIP MAN!!!! play a riff when i shake your hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it very refreshing and very authentic you will listen to whatever music and you FEEL it , you are obviously an empath , with a very pretty smile too ! Thanks for sharing .....I would be delighted to see you review any NF song ....mainly "if you want love" I bet you will melt

Empress is a rock chick! 💃🏿 50K - congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It is about drugadiction and how drugs kills you. Welcome Home (sanitarium) Metallica should be on your list next

When Metallica goes in God-Mode there is no one better. 🔥🖤❤️‍🔥

WOW! Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers!!!

They are phenomenally talented, and filled stadiums with barely any radio play back in the 80s. People call them Thrash, but I differentiate it as Speedmetal...take one look at the musical notation for this song in particular and you'll understand...there is a lot of precision in their playing, whereas Thrash is messy like punk, as is intended. This isn't my favorite song of theirs (that's "Creeping Death", from the previous album), but in the top 5. SO damn cool live, too, headbangers for sure.

masterpiece

Your videos are saving lives. You are a light

A song I can relate to. I have had years of alcohol, drugs, substance abuse. But mostly alcohol my 'Master Of Puppets'. I am now working towards going into rehab.

I love how much you enjoy this music!

Fabulous observations, Empress! 🙏😊💜

Iconic cut....seattle 89 MASTER OF PUPPETS

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

as always love your reaction

The name of drummer in Metallica is Lars Ulrich

So Metal , love that.

Best Album... Master Of Puppets 1986. In loving memory of C.L Burton... R.I.P Legend.🙏🏽🤟

Lars in his prime is an animal. Asshole or not love his drumming around this time.

When it gets really slow and nice it’s supposed to represent a high like heroin and when it starts breaking down heavy that’s supposed to be the angry and regret kicking in

Love your Camp Toccoa shirt, is that a WW2 Toccoa reference?

Love your voices

*MORE* Metallica please 😎

If you like drummers check out Tommy Lee roller coaster drum solo

The Drummer is Lars Ulrich

Now fast forward like 30 yrs and give em a look and listen 🙃

To follow up on that I'm sure its not, I saw more of it and I jumped to conclusions, sorry, its not a WW2 Toccoa..

Love your accent. It's beautiful. And beautifully matched with a beautiful lady. Seattle is pronounced sea-attle. Just in case you wanted to know. Definitely not trying to be a grammar nazi. 🙃

Hi Empress... great reaction to one of Metallica's very best songs... BUT : For quite a while I am trying to convince you to react to Aurora, a 25 year old singer / songwriter from Norway. Could you please react to "Lucky - Live at Nidarosdomen" ? I promise you, you'll be mesmerized. She wrote this song at the age of 9 years and it really has deep and meaningful lyrics. So please check the artist and especially this song out. Best wishes from Germany : Gerry

Say what you want about Lars his enthusiasm and passion is unmatched. There’s a reason they kept him around for 41 years. He is my favorite tiny cheesy brooding danish. could be worse ..he could be Axl Rose. I’m glad he’s OK now, but Lord have mercy the boy was a mess!

U are so pretty❤❤❤

This was a great concert....I think....I was pretty drunk. I'm pretty sure this was my first Metallica concert.

Did I hear someone say D R U M S? Check this out Empress, 'Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT)' This video is focusing on Danny in sight as well as slightly elevated sound of his Talents. You will not be disappointed. Peace/JT

Metallica "Welcome Home Sanitarium" please

🤘🏽

It's dyers eve then master of puppets I think 🤔

studio version would have been better. I love the music but I love the lyrics more

2.guitars one bass

lars Ulrich ...on the Best metal drummer...and maybe more 🤘🤘🤘 have to react to moby Dick Led zeppelin track...John Bonan show his allmigthy drum set 🤩🤩🤘🤘

Drummer is my fellow country man Lars Ulrich 🇩🇰

The drummer is called Lars who is considered as a shit drummer by metal/ rock fans

Slowly but surely you become a Metal Head 😁😁😁

You're not paying attention to how insanely good they can play an actual instrument. Blindly. Yeah Lars fks it up almost every show. But these guys are tight and compensate without most noticing. Metallica is the gr3atest. And holds more world records than most, and if I may stress, than any?!

Now you’re playing with power

I will suggest White Zombie for your metal journey.La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep 2000 are their biggest albums.Make Them Die Slowly is an obscure but real banger also.

Hey my love ❤

Ahhh,when Rockstars actually looked liked Rockstars.

THATS😝

To live is to die intro...

Where you’re from I love your accent?

Love Metallica ...oh Drummers name Lars Ulrich

Metallica when used to be a metal band

Man, I would have listened to the album version with Cliff playing on it ... not a live version with Jason ..... dude. It's a masterpiece ... you don't listen to a masterpiece through a wall.
