The only thing that brings me more joy than Metallica is seeing someone else experience Metallica for the first time. It's a beautiful thing. :)

The proper way to headbang is however the hell you want to.

Fun fact: In 2015, Master of Puppets became the first metal recording to be selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". So this is literally a master piece! And was made when they were teenagers. Listen to disposable heroes. This album is about war and politics.

You don't "learn" to head bang. You let the music into your soul and however your body reacts, that's what it is.

They were 21 and 22 when they wrote this. Whole album is a masterpiece

I was 15 having a mother battling cancer when this came out. Very deep dark times in adolescence..Metallica helped mold the clay into the beast I became....horns high fellas!!! 🤟🙌🤟

In 1985 I was put in mental institution for 15 months. Because of this song it was my friends and mine favorite, 2 friends visited me almost every week, no other " patient" had any visitors but family. Studies show mental patients who's friends continue to include them have a higher than 85% of returning to a productive life. I worked my way off disability work full time bought my own condo. Thank you Ron and Kathy AND METALLICA.

My wife and I danced to "Nothing else Matters" at our wedding. It was our first dance. Every time we hear that song, we stop all what we are doing in the moment and just look at each other and smile. We have been happily married going on 14 years.

Most KZfaq reactors, when they hear this song, have NO idea what one flew over the cuckoo's nest is (or have ever read a book period) I love that u recently read it, THEN listened to this. Great reaction as always

Your Metallica reactions are my absolute favorite. No over exaggeration, no pausing every 10 seconds, you're the best. I hope you keep this trend going.

"Build my fear of what's out there, Can not breathe the open air.. No more can they keep us in, listen damnit we will win.. They see it right, they see it well, but they think this saves us from our hell" Welcome home (Quarantarium)

It makes me smile to see someone discover the beauty of metal. I discovered Metallica in 1986, shortly after Puppets came out and I never looked back. I was engulfed by all things metal. There are a lot of people who judge before ever giving metal a chance. Most of it is more than just screaming. Thank You for giving it a try. Hope you discover more gems. Once you are done with your Metallica journey, give Pantera or Slayer a go.

Now please, listen to the instrumental Orion by Metallica. Same album. Just another amazing instrumental from an amazing band. And thank you for another great reaction video. I really look forward in seeing more. Be safe.

I stand by "Until it Sleeps" by Metallica It's about James Hetfield losing his mom to Cancer. I lost my mom to cancer so it's a really powerful song Even tho it was the era Metallica was infamous for lol Still a great song imo

The guitar speaks it's own truth. At times it can tell us more than words.

I love your reaction in the second Kirk solo section at 3:00 , and when you say that descendent scale chills you. No matter which type of music you're familiar with, this kind of art is just breathtaking :)

For Whom The Bell Tolls is based on the book, also. These are for anyone who thinks that starting a garage band and being intellectual are mutually exclusive.

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. Keep yourself safe (and sane :) while we ride out the covid.

Metallica's amazing instrumental sounds gives us all chills. Now, Orion.

I got chills listening to the outro solo, and I've heard this song 100 times. It hits you hard, when your mind and heart wander through a song.

I envy anyone who gets to hear Metallica for the first time😂

The best Metallica video u’ll ever see is “Creeping Death” live in Moscow. Largest crowd in history of mankind !!!!! Only 1.3 million Russians !!!!!

I work in a mental health crisis clinic. Interesting how my understanding of this song has evolved from when I heard it as a teen. Back then I was just blown away by the instrumentals. Now I can empathize with the emotional message of the song. Fortunately, we don't do mental health like it was in OFOTCN, but there is certainly still room for improvement.

Their music has something special … something never gets old … sounds fresh like first day, why? that’s why new generations like it

Dyers eve for another metallica song, pantera this love would be cool too! Enjoyed the video, really like the subtitles instead of talking during the song!

Definitely, "the thing that should not be". Another one off of master of puppets. About H.P Lovecraft's "Cthulhu" so cool!

love your reactions! and your little emotional posts you display throughout the video without actually stopping the song! absolutely brilliant!!

We are watching a headbanger being born everyone congrats

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.

I always took the lyrics, “no locked doors, no windows barred.” less literal, pointing to the mind as its own prison. But I didn’t realize the connection to the movie, so maybe they’re more literal. Especially, as you pointed out, considering the freedom to leave.

I remember when this album came out. I was 15 and was so blown away. Great to be a teen in the 80's. Greatest music era ever!

I really do enjoy watching you explore new music!!! Especially when it hits you in the heart... You show your emotions well, plus the on-screen info is something I haven't seen anyone else do. I watch a lot of music reaction channels, and your's is one of the best. You get into the music and lyrics and then explain what each track does to you and how it makes you feel. Thank you for the vid!!!

Enjoying your metallica reactions, keep exploring this amazing music. Greetings from Colombia :D

A really good song is cemetery gates by pantera, amazing everything

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.

I really like your format for these videos you can see how you feel during the song as you are very emotive in your body language. Doing this instead of pausing or talking over it we still get to see your response and then hear your thoughts at the end. Fantastic!

There is no right way to "head bang", just do what you feel! Digging your reactions, keep rocking! 🤘🏼✌🏼

Disposable heroes or the unforgiven next with lyrics of course haha pls 👍🏻

Metallica didn't make videos during these days. They managed to achieve the early stages of their stardom without the typical marketing. All mixtapes and street-level.

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. ;)

Listen to suicidal tendencies “ how will I laugh tomorrow when I can’t smile today” and Metal Church “anthem to the estranged”

"Still learning to headbang." Haha. There is no "right" way to headbang. However the music moves you is fine. Also, hoping for some more original music soon. Any chance? Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole watching your videos! ❤️ appreciate you and how you feel and read music intellectually. Ty, B.

As always, thanks for do this. I'm your fan. Salutes from El Salvador. I love you

Metallica's Outlaw Torn, Bleeding me or Fixxxer would be a great choice. These are their hidden gems!

Probably my favorite guitars on a Metallica song. You should listen to Dyers Eve by Metallica.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is such an excellent movie. I just discovered your channel and subscribed and I must say it's better than the other reaction videos. You're not trying to be fake for likes and views. And I appreciate your open-mindedness toward the metal community.

Congratulations on hearing this for the 1st time. Your reaction vid made me happy!

"To live is to die" is one of the best metallica songs ever. It's so emotional whenever i would like to listen, i just gotta light a cigarette.

I used to listen to this every summer afternoon riding my bike to my first job. Metallica got me through several years of horrible abuse at home, bullies at school, and others who just wanted to make my life hell. It focused my anger. Now they're all dead. j/k

Recently found the "reaction to songs" videos and have watched a lot of them, I appreciate you not pausing the video over and over (I know you have read that a lot but it makes the videos so much more enjoyable). I like your breakdown's and reactions too because they are more than "wow, they are good" and you read the lyrics so you actually understand what they are singing so you get the full context. Great videos keep them up please.

First time viewer. I really love the text so not to interrupt. You seem to have an eye on the right details as well. Subscribed

First off. You are absolutely adorable. Beyond that I just wanted to let you know...Master of puppets is a better song. My personal second favorite song on the album. The first favorite is Orion. Which as LOGAN SEYMOUR accurately described as Cliff Burtons masterpiece. I listened to Master of puppets cover to cover the first time back in 95. Cliff's bass solo on Orion still gives me chills to this day. And I've listened to that track literally thousands of times over the years.

you should do Dyers eve, Creeping Death, To live is to die, ...And justice for all, blackened and so on.

You’ll find this entire album will be one you’ll come back to repeatedly. Love your content. 🤘🏻

@5:19 into this i am subscribing, i usually cry listening to this song but seeing you enjoy it is really making me happy.. you are so beautiful, thank you for this video

Also, Pantera, “Walk”, “Cemetery Gates” & “This Love”. Those should keep ure pandemic lockdown days less boring, so have fun...

There Are NO Bad Kurt Hamster Guitar Solos. Enjoy Each And EVERY ONE, since they are an example of a Master Craftsman at work.

It's such a beautiful thing to see a person that is inexperienced in Metal music discover it for the first time and embrace it. I've watched your Metallica videos in order and seen them capture your attention more and more. The emotion that I see in your movement and your eyes during the songs shows me that you are feeling their touch on your heart. I have loved Metallica for a long time (I didn't grow up with them. I was born in the late 80's and was introduced by my parents) and it is great to see someone discovering the emotion and the messages that they display in their music. A large portion of Metal music is the same. Tackling difficult issues and addressing deep levels of emotion. Many people are turned off by the aggressive sound, but you have given it a fair chance and embraced it. I respect you greatly for that and I am happy for you that you have discovered what this genre of music can really do for people.

I like that you replay the song in the background over your commentary. Really neat touch that just adds so much in my opinion. Great stuff!!!

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. Getting to start something so big and so powerful, yet with so little experience and knowledge is crazy, and some might say a very very lucky shot in the dark.

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.

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!!

Love your reactions! Dig the glasses!

This is what I love about all these KZfaqrs doing reactions to this awesome old metal. The range of people that always assumed metal was just loud guitars and screaming that get legitimate chills from this music is amazing. I'm 36 and although this came out long before me I still grew up listing to it as well as other awesome metal like Pantera. I love seeing people open their minds and take this stuff in and realize how deep these songs really are and that there's actual meaning to them and the music really tells a story in itself. Old Metallica is timeless. The lyrics, the melodies, everything.

I think you might enjoy Megadeth - Holy Wars or if you want to hear an insane solo Megadeth - Tornado of Souls

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

You got the chills excact same spot where we got them 30 years ago. I guess that´s why I kind watch these reaction vids. 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.

If you want to hear a really great weeping guitar solo, listen to The Outlaw Torn... This is newer Metallica which some might shame me for, but it's a great song! It really pulls on your heart strings. Back to the older stuff, Four Horseman, Creeping Death, and Fight Fire with Fire. Best intro of any song they ever wrote! And then there are more instrumental songs, To Live is To Die, Orion and Call of Ktulu! Love your videos! And you have to hear Pantera, I'm telling you... Start with Cemetery Gates... You won't believe how beautiful and heavy this song is! Dime was the best!

from a old metal head from when this was new headbanging is how you feel during the music there is no art to it its just how you and you alone feel while listening to it

Good review ! I really like how you experience the lyrics and the rhythm for the first time. Another suggestion "Harvester of Sorrow"

You are doing a great job figuring out the meaning to these Metallica songs, I've watched some of your reactions and you're spot on almost every time. I'm 60 years old and I've been listening to Metallica since they started and I think you're doing great 👍

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

she wears headphones so the dog dont freak out that s adorable *wears headphones so neighbours dont freak out*

I love how you emotionally connect to music. Your willingness to explore music genres with a open mind is awesome.

The second last solo always gives me chills . Btw nice shirt :)

Black By Pearl Jam LIVE MTV Unplugged version 🔥

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

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.

We gotta love the fact that you take time to edit the video and share your thoughts without pausing...I know it’s just a small detail but it adds up to how seriously you take this reactions and your comments are well elaborated imo👌🏾

Cemetary Gates by Pantera! You'll love it!

Or, listen to To Live is To Die by Metallica. It is on the “ And Justice For All album. It is also a instrumental. I think you will feel the sadness just in the music.

Welcome to the band. I love how fast you process and find the meaning of the songs. I love when people listens heavy metal for the first time and enjoys it. Puré speed metal.

I have been listening to my favourite band, Metallica, for many many years. Your emotional reactions to these tracks are making me rediscover what I felt the first time I heard them!!! Thank you for doing this, and welcome to the 'Tallica family!

You should do Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

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.

Love watching your reactions. After years of hearing these songs the lyrics become a bit assumptive, but watching someone else discover them anew evokes the feeling of excitement I felt when the song became more than music to me. I hear myself cheering internally "She gets it." There is a reason Metallica has been relevant for 40 years now.

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...

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. I really wanna see your expression!!

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

It brings me joy seeing new people enjoying this. Its the closest ill ever be to being able to experience it again for the first time. Thank you.

Hi puppy! And yes!!! This has always been one of my favorite of theirs

1st! love you and your videos!

Headbanging is no science, you just flow with the music, thats how its done. There's no wrong way to do it

I love seeing you have this experience. I remember discovering Metallica when I was about 14 and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Great reaction and review. One of the best from Metallica as a piece by itself, that part of the 2nd solo at 3:00 until you say you got chills always gives me chills too, that weeping bend into that fast downhill shredding melody before leveling out on the final note is crazy! The whole song is a masterpiece, beautifully eerie and aggressive at the same time I think lol

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. :)

"The Unforgiven" please

Props, you're the only one I've seen with the sense to snag my scroll reactions instead of stopping the tune, idea!

Its nice to see a younger generation giving older music, especially heavy metal, a chance to influence them. When you think you are ready, id like to see your reaction to Pantera. Maybe Hollow or this love. Both are very emotional songs. Keep up the good work lady.
