Watching this again. And Holy shit... you're almost at 54k! Congrats, Preston. You're on cruise control through metal & rock. 😆

listening to orion is like losing your virginity - the first time you never forget

Metallica bass player Cliff Burton died on September 27, 1986 when the band's tour bus went off the road, the album was released March 3, 1986. Burton had cited "Orion" as one of his favorite Metallica songs. He had a big part in writing the song (along with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich), and his performance on the track is regarded as one of the best of his career. The song was played at his funeral on October 7th, 1986. The album Master of Puppets was their 3rd studio album. The part here you got the feels was actually when Cliffs bass solo started. He was such a talent on bass and in his writing that it is hard to imagine what he could have given the music world. He was only 24 yrs old when he died, so the song that you just reacted to was performed by a bunch of guys in their early 20's. Hard to believe that at 24 were on their 3rd studio album, its no wonder why Metallica is still performing today.

Can you imagine they wrote this Symphony when they were only 23 years old. Pure bliss man.

Mate, listen to this whole album out in the woods, no thoughts, a clear night, relaxed. You will feel your soul fly.

Metallica instrumentals: -(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth (Killem All) -The Call of Ktulu (Ride the Lightning) -Orion (Master of Puppets) -To Live Is To Die (And Justice For All) -Suicide & Redemption (Death Magnetic)

Bringing me (older black man) back to high school days. Started listening to this album in 1986 after hearing them open for Ozzy in Houston at the Summit.

I was literally waiting for that first smile! And the pause! ♥️

your heart dropped reason Cliff Burton

I find myself watching your face go from intense concentration to sheer joy as you discover each of our favs for the first time. :) This is where you will taste a little Cliff Burton for real.

To Live Is To Die would be the next Metallica Instrumental I'd suggest 🤘

Exactly - An emotional roller coaster. This is the most jazz tune Metallica ever recorded.

RIP Cliff...one of the best bass lines ever written ... \m/

If you ever do To Live Is To Die, keep in mind, Bassist Cliff Burton was killed in a bus accident two years prior. This is a tribute to him including all his unused riffs, but the bass is absent on the track.

We miss you, Cliff.

This channel is entertaining AF bruuuuuuuuuuuu!

I always seem like I make more than one comment on your videos but the joy on your face makes me happy.

Hey P, I tell my daughter that any music that moves you is good music and to try all genres . Your videos are a great example of that way of thinking! Keep the faith bro

one of the best Metallica songs.

No body has said anything about cliff Burton's bass solo off the kill'em All album?

The best band in history

I told you this song would change your life. Great channel. Keep it up 👍🏿

That pause and look at the camera at the end of Kirks last solo.......PRICELESS and just what I was waiting for. Metallica fans for years have had the same reaction. No words........

Orion is the one instrumental that speaks to you without any lyrics whatsoever... Powerful stuff

"Harvester of Sorrow" by METALLICA!!! #hardbody

Orion is an experience live fo sho. Your instincts are right on. This song communicates to me that these thrash gods have at their heart the same blues that exists in all artists. The need. That deep need. You know?

When a song makes you close your eyes....and makes you feel it....THAT'S ART.

I love all the little smiles every time there is a key change, time signature shift, beat drop, etc. It's a pleasure seeing this world open up to you. At the same time, I feel like I am revisiting old favorite classics but with a more discerning ear. I just found you today have binged on almost every rock/metal reaction video you've made. I follow three of you that do reaction videos with overlapping songs and it doesn't even matter because you each approach your love of music in a different way. This is what KZfaq was really meant for...

just found your channel today and i gotta say i love these reactions, seeing you discover bands like black sabbath, led zeppelin, metallica, ect is filling me with so much joy. keep it up my man!

To Live is to Die is another great instrumental by them

Been waiting since I found your channel for you to check this out...my favorite song without vocals...and when I saw them live the first time they had played the song one one other time...I was fortunate. ...great channel

hold oooon bruuuuuuuuuuu!!! haha

METALLICA - TO LIVE IS TO DIE. my favourite instrumental from them

You're absolutely right Preston. It is an emotional roller coaster, Metallica takes you on a journey. I knew you were feelin it when you said your heart dropped and I was like wait til he hears the bluesy riff comin up ;) The Call of Ktulu is a Bad Ass instrumental piece off of Ride the Lightning, listen to that one next, you'll Love it.

One of the only bands that can tell a complete story with just music

your heart just dropped and you got goosebumps...you can't touch music but music can touch you.

I can feel you feeling it through my phone. Best genuine reaction. Love it man. Keep it up!

Posting to Facebook! What I felt at 15!!! Please keep going! LOVE IT!

I absolutely love your sincerety in the reactions. Stay genuine brother !

Orion really got me into instrumentals. To Live is to Die made instrumentals my favorite type of music! Gotta check out To Live is to Die by Metallica bro!!!

I'm taking all 3 of my teenage kids to see Metallica live in Sacramento in Dec. My kids will be blown away. I hope they play Orion. This song is Epic!!!

"To live is to die" by METALLICA #trustme. Best instrumental of all time

Preston, you are the man!! I absolutely love seeing your love for music. Some people music hits hard. I am one of them and it's nice seeing others with the same admiration.

What amazes me is you get this kind of music . You've said yourself you never really listened to it growing up. You have a real ear for music. You mention things about songs that I thought only I noticed and I've been listening to Metallica since 1984. Congrats!

Metallica -jump in the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some haters gonna hate on this, but a lot of the songs on the Loads ( Load and Reload) get pretty bluesy, too. I think both of those albums are way under-rated. They are def a departure, but it shows their diversity and depth, especially in James' writing. You should check them out.

I love your channel, man! Keep on going your own special way. Peace out !

Metallica - Battery!!!

Thx for doing Orion :)! And welcome to Metallica family

Great reaction video my friend. I have similar reactions when I hear this song. First time seeing one of your videos and looking forward to watching more. Keep up the great work!

I’ve always really loved this song but watching your video makes me appreciate it so much more

This song and call of ktulu are songs that make you feel like you just watched a great movie. You can almost see it playing out in your head. The emotions that Metallica makes you feel is just great.

12:30 Perfect reaction hahaha.

I could watch your reaction vids all day long!! You’re doing such a great job!!🤘🏻

Ill say it again i love when you bring it back , reminds me of how i listened to these songs the 1st time and still do after a 1000 times hearing them .

I notice you're loving the bass solos. Warms my heart. Guitar is great, but they get all the love anyway. Nice to see you appreciate the bass guitar. :)

This album is fucking epic, King. "Master of Puppets" has one amazing song after another. When this song pops up on that album it's unexpected but holy god....... Every time I hear this song I get a bit sad because it reminds me of how good of a base player Cliff Burton was. I still don't know how he makes that droning sound in the beginning and I still haven't heard anyone duplicate it properly. If you like instrumentals, you would really like YYZ by Rush.

I love your reactions! Every time you say you get goosebumps in certain parts of songs I get them too.

Yooooooo watching the eyes close and just feeling the presence of true musical geniuses at work, shows how in tune we all really can be ,,good work bro ...saw them 19 times and counting and still is new to me everytime

Cliff Burton was a musical genius and that was his baby. RIP to the best bass guitarist in history, even the second guitar solo is him on bass, you can hear the difference.

you're right about the Blues, dude. great reaction!

Love how you pay attention to details, always brings a smile to our face. Salute bruh' keep it coming. \m/

Speaking without words!! Amazing song!! Awesome reaction you got exactly what old Metallica is about.. Just subbed!

...LOL... told you. "A journey in music" It's amazing... isn't it?

Cliff Burton was a blessing for metal

Hi Preston, I binge watched you all Yesterday. Love what ya have going here. I want to hear more colorful metaphors about how the songs make you feel. Very happy to see your face with an indescribable confounding look. This is good times for us all. God bless you Brother.

Bring it back as many times as you want! Love seeing you react to the intricate parts of the song that a lot of people would not notice.

Diggin your reactions man! Subbed!

Your reactions are so true and priceless and yes , this is coming from a 60 year old Metallica fan .

Thank you. Watching your reactions to these old metal songs has helped me rediscover what was so good about them. They are truly Master's of their craft.

Been listening to Metallica for almost 25 years and this song still makes me think deep thoughts every, single, time. And that part between 10:28 and 10:48, all bass guitar brother

It's about time you checked this out lol

My heart just dropped. Yeah don't worry that's Just Cliff.

You are my favorite reationist bar none, I love the emotion you show with these songs. I thoroughly enjoy watching you

Subscribed today man. Great Channel. Love watching your reactions to Metallica. My favorite band

To live is to die please

You seem very genuine with your reactions. I always enjoy your videos, keep it up. Please react to another instrumental by Metallica, The Call of Ktulu.

Dig your videos man.I think it's awesome how music can bridge gaps and bring people together that might not otherwise. Might send you some suggestions from an old metalhead in South Dakota. 🤘

I was so.. so high when I first heard that guitar crying... I just.. it teared my soul.. my existence to shreds.. the galaxy.. the orion.. the pain.. the beauty.. all in one crying guitar..

You are right, Metallica are the gods of Metal. "Fade to Black" is one of their best, overall songs (best in my opinion). Give Bad Brains a listen (album-"Banned in D.C." ). BB are an all Black, Hardcore Punk/Reggae group from D.C. (80's era). They combined musical genres early on and we're one of the best HC groups.

If you love instrumentals, Metallica's "To live is to die " is the answer! It's a tribute from Metallica to Cliff Burton, and it's the last music that Cliff co-wroted before his death.

I love your channel. Imagine driving late at night in the middle of nowhere between LA and Vegas. I did just that. Nothing beats the top down, starry night in the desert at 2 am. Talk about exhilarating!

I LOVE your reactions man! Great to see someone who appreciates great music. I bought this on cassette when it was released in 1986; cutting 3 classes in high school to walk to the local record shop for it. I got detention, but damn it was worth it!! :)

You should do anesthesia (pulling teeth) a bass solo, by cliff burton. 1983 live in Chicago, is awesome!

Helpless by Metallica is an all time favorite of mine and has seemed to go under the radar for some reason. That song is an explosion from start to finish. You wont be disappointed and needs to be the next Metallica reaction video.

I'm on about your 10th VID, great job, you hooked me with RAP GOD .... I'm subbed! ... BTW thanks for the 3 decade old flashbacks ;-)

Watchin you experience and react to music I been listening to my whole life, evokes a real sense of empathy in me...it's kinda like vicariously hearing it anew...just glad to see the unfamiliar appreciate something I, and so many others have coveted for so long... Hail!

To Live is to Die from my favorite Album. ... And Justice for All

To Live Is To Die or Call of Ktulu. Either of those are great Metallica instrumentals.

They love each other so much, and u can hear it, I haven't heard these songs in a long time, taken me back thank you!!

Loving what you do in these vids brother!

Black Sabbath into the void bro

I'm a little surprised most of you are saying 'To Live Is To Die" is your favorite Metallica instrumental. I've always thought Orion was the best of the best. I even really love Call of Ktulu, mainly for the exceptional solo, though.

Recently subscribed.... I love your reactions to the music I grew up with!

This one has been my favourite song for so long, I'm glad you're trying it out.

FINALLY! Orion :) DUUUUUUUUUDE Ya gotta listen to Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots, their from Brazil and used tribal instruments and inspiration.. You'll wanna learn drums after hearing them man.

Rent the movie Metallica: Through the Never. You won't be disappointed - the last song they play, sitting in an empty venue, is Orion.

Omg i love your reaction, this song is one of my favorites, after 20 years i still get goosebumps!

Glad you finally checked this song out. Keep up the great work man.

Cliff (The Major Rager) Burton is missed!!! God bless you Brother....
