Not many people like this music! I was talking to them from a Pakistani's perspective folks. How can you not see such crowd and me sharing the fact that Metallica is the first band to perform in all seven continents. In Pakistan many people dislike this kind of music but I am a metalhead on the other hand. Please stop lol!
Metallica is the greatest metal band in the world. They have compilations with orchestras that you might enjoy. Their music is very complicated, and they are immensely talented. They are loved by more people worldwide than any other band of their genre. I have seen them live in concert 10 times. Long Live the Mighty Met!!! \m/
As a fellow metal head who listens to mostly Black Metal, I think Metallica was an awesome choice to start with. Well done Sir. Also, who knew Parvati was a budding metal head. 👍🏽
@@eemoogee160 Sure, but that wouldn't explain how they react to it, does it? Or they must have had some method acting master class as a bonus as well...
When other people don't make you feel hatred about something and you are the one to take your own ideals, you are more likely to accept it! Many people may love Heavy Metal, but the idea of what others might think of them is what makes them reject it, because they are afraid of not being accepted by others! That's the world we live nowadays!
Back in 1990 I was in Alabama visiting my brother and sister in law. Me and TJ went to pick up his wife's car. I was driving the truck home. While waiting I was parked behind this older man about 65. He walked up to the truck and said, "excuse me ma'am. Would you mind moving your truck"? I said I'm not a ma'am. His moutj hit the floor. I had hair down to my ass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's bc she didn't have any prejudice bc she didn't know anything about metal. Now I love Metallica but when I first heard them with this song, I was a bit scared 😂
Exactly. This is why i hate the part about they say it's bad and used for torture, that could evidently predispose them to dislike the music in the middle of the song. Any noise loud enough can be extremely disrupting, not just metal.
The older gentleman looking down through his glasses and saying "bro" just gets me every time. "Bro, I'm speechless today" "We don't have such music in our villages. But its amazing, bro.
This music is not to make you go insane. It's to let out the pain from inside and let go of it. Where some people understand, others don't. That's why a lot of people don't understand metal.
Or it's just heavy and badass and sounds awesome. Although i will admit when i worked in construction I listened to a lot more metal and it wasn't because life was good lol
I actually get "pain" from listening to stuff that's too simple and formulaic. I like primal, heavy, dissonant, jazzy, weird, experimental, high complexity. P.S. Really bad choice of sound system to present metal on. Of course metal sounds like crap on a 5 cent laptop speaker.
Precisely. I enjoy many styles of music, but metal is so...empowering...energetic...and yes, anger-expressing/releasing sometimes. And some of its lyrics are downright poetry, such as some of Ozzy's, Iron Maiden's, and Metallica's, which make you think.
I loved how the old guy immediately got that it was a lullaby, but his kids would not sleep after haring it. That was priceless. The guy with the cool hat being mostly concerned about the crowd was very nice, he didn't seem to like the music but would like to invite them to lunch.
I have no basis for this theory mind you other than myself, but i feel like metal and other fast/loud music like this has to have some sort of relation to people with anxiety or some form of ADHD. Like, your mind NEVER STOPS racing, so something else coming in and doing the racing for you helps relax us. I get some of my best work done when i have something like Death Grips, The Prodigy, or Knocked Loose in the background.
@@SammyNail ADD kid here. Can confirm. When you brain is getting pulled in a dozen different directions at once, having something on in the background that distracts part of it allows you to focus the rest of your attention on what you need to.
Metallica's concert in Moscow was a historic event. The cold war that existed over 50 years had just ended. The youth of Russia finally experienced a sense of freedom for the first time. Metallica's songs are stress relieving. Believe me, Russia had a LOT of pent up stress! The youth went wild :)
А потом наступили 90-е года, в которых умерло советского народа больше чем во второй мировой войне, люди стали беднее в сотни раз, на улицах были бандитизм, беззаконие, безработица и наркотики. И только тогда люди поняли, что потеряли настоящую свободу, обменяв её на джинсы, жвачку и кока колу.
My mistake. On other episodes (maybe reaction to how large solar system is) there is a young man that constantly bounces his head around. Maybe that's why I thought India
@@scottoshea9440 To be fair, both Pakistan and Bangladesh have previously been part of India, and the three, as well as Nepal and Sri Lanka, share a huge amount of linguistic and cultural heritage (with the head bobbing you're referring to being one example), and so the term "South Asia(n)" is often used to refer to any of these countries while avoiding the need to specify a particular nation. Geographic terminology is pretty confusing, and the political realities of any given region really don't help. The essence of your comment was ultimately accurate, not to mention funny, hence all the likes.
Everyone is so kind and respectful even if they don’t completely like it. I love nature and peaceful things and also love Metallica and some metal. What a sweet and kind hearted group of people here 💞
For USSR it was the real wall-breaking event. Even the military guys started vibing, though initially being brought there to control the crowd. That's the true force of music to gather and transform people.
Yngwie played Leningrad back in 1989 Yngwie Malmsteen - "Rising Force" - Live in Leningrad - 1989th-cam.com/video/GWM5EBtxwNA/w-d-xo.html Scorpions played Moscow 1989 Scorpions - Blackout (Moscow Music Peace Festival 1989)th-cam.com/video/dbYWtmblvYI/w-d-xo.html Ozzy, Skid Row, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi all were there. Metallica just rode on their coat tails.
Western music was banned for so long, just traditional music and BAD BAD soviet pop to listen to. I think I'd flip out and get excited freely listening to real music live for the first time too.
@@AwesomeFish12 yes, I think these bands were allowed to play because of a change of attitude in leadership. Gorbachev was enacting perestrokia and I believe these concerts were part of it.
@@AwesomeFish12 What tf are you talking about. People in the USSR could listen to foreign music during the Soviet Union, it just had to be approved by the government. Sometimes foreign artists held concerts in the Soviet Union. Western music wasn't banned altogether. And music was relatively diverse, not just "traditional music" (which was more classical than trad btw. Hearing actual ethnographic songs from villages was extremely rare). Pop music wasn't bad at all, it was actually very good, with strong melodies etc (I'd say Russian pop music today is generally worse than it was 35 years ago). Even Soviet cartoons and movies had excellent music (classic example: Bremenskiye Muzykanty). Most music was rooted in a well-structured, classical melody tradition though, so at some point a lot of people wanted to hear something fresher (mainly younger people). The problem is that you weren't allowed to be a pro musician and be paid for it unless you were a member of the musician's union of the Soviet Union (a.k.a a government approved musician/composer), which meant you had to go really underground to showcase your music. Even though music in the Soviet Union wasn't as diverse as in some other countries until the mid 80's, it still was great music. Metal that came into the USSR during the Perestroika felt super fresh, which is why a lot of people liked it (and why a lot of Russians are metalheads even today). Metal was associated with freedom and coolness. Doesn't mean that old music was not "real". Stop spreading bs when you know nothing what life is or was like in other countries. Source: I'm Russian
@@slaprakshas “oppressed” yet she was happily welcomed and featured in a TH-cam video with 1 million views 😂 at least make it make sense when you try to throw an insult buddy
I didn't believe you when you said Metallica has played on all 7 continents and had to look it up myself. I said, "No way Metallica played in Antartica. No one lives there." I was wrong. In 2013 Metallic played a show in Antartica called Freeze 'Em All for an audience of ~120 people. Amazing!
Yeah, the only thing that annoyed me was the takes of the interviewer on the subject, like: "do you need aspirins?" and "no matter how hard you try, some things won't mix up together, like water and oil. This would never mix up with nature" and others. The thing is, art is a subjective thing and it can be brought up to the table in almost infinite ways, since every and each people has its own takes on various different subjects. Yeah, I think I got this out of my chest hahaha
@@leandro8897 they just don't understand our culture. It's okay, there's alot about the way they live that seems odd to us too. It helps make us interesting as long as people can coexist.
@@dmytrocks it's just remarkable because this is the 5th biggest concert ever held with somewhere around 1.6 million in attendance. At the time, I believe this was the 2nd biggest concert ever held, 2nd to a concert held in Paris 1 year prior that had 2.5m in attendance. Compared to countries like India, or China with populations well over 1 billion people, that may not seem like a lot, though I suspect it still is. Especially for western society where historically we don't often gather that many people unless it's for battle, and they were all there to rock the fuuuuuck out 🤘🤘
So just to recap: - He played what is the greatest commercial metal song ever written - Played the video of Metallica in Moscow, where you can clearly see and feel their energy - Brought in additional speakers to best represent metal at its finest (loud af) - Knowledgeable about the band through and through You sir are freaking amazing.
@@bobbyhempel1513 That was my biggest issue with the video as well, unless he was talking about their country only. But outside of it, Metal is enjoyed by hundreds of millions worldwide.
Good on these people for coming with their open minds. I find their reactions were honest, pure . We are all different and many among us change often. We must allow this in each other without physical conflict or hurtful words. Everyone must be free to experience this life, and then, to share the thoughts freely, without fear of any oppression or condescension.
I love how calm and thoughtful and polite they all are. When they saw the crowd, they expressed concern for the safety of the people there. It was heartwarming, and they were right. It's fascinating to see how others perceive things I grew up thinking of as normal.
Cause they are very genuine persons I think, less contaminated , with out pop culture influence maybe, with simple apetite and diferents worryes perhaps
If I remember correctly in Islamic countries there have been stampedes with large crowds, resulting in dead people. That's why they'd know large crowds could become a risk.
@@justinrockmore327 yup you are right their is pilgrimage that every muslim does its called hajj where we have to travel to Mecca and madina . Towards the end of it people throw stones toward a pillar its called jamrat and multiple stampede have happened their
@@LazizbekYusupov92 the low growl is pretty similar to a dog or bear, false chords bear similarities to frogs, birds and wildcats depending on the notes. There's also pig squeals and what not. In fact some of the vocals are just backwards snoring.
51 people were INJURED, not dead in the official city report. In fact, they said it was a miracle no one died. Thanks for the video! It's always cool to see how Metal just transcends all cultures and brings us together in one unified Headbang 🤘
And to think Putin is trying to send Russia back to the dark ages? Why they haven't killed him yet is beyond me. He will destroy Russia before backing down
@@JesusRunsMyHouse Maybe someone should let the people of Russia know Metallica will never come back if they don't take Putin out... Metal could be the Peace bringer!
@@ShapeNoise ....I cant even see them in the U.S.! Have you been on ticketmaster and seen the price of concert tickets to see them? In 1977 I paid $15 for front row center to see Kiss. In 2022 it costs upwards of $5000 to get the same seating. If you get stuck on balcony or row 300 seat 75 your still gonna pay over $400 and you will be looking at a screen just to see the band! No fucking thank you.. I can get alot of majik mushrooms for that and go to a full out concert in my living room on my radio! Fuck Russia!
I dig the young lady who likes loud music. And also the dude who seemed open to other heavy metal. It's really cool to get perspectives from other cultures. Nicely done, sir.
Love how the one gent was so blown away, not by the music itself, but by the spectacle of it all. The power of the combined experience. He said it gave him chills. He’s a straight up bro.
But on Spotify you can't find this Moscow live version which is brutal 😁 Well, Mexico's Live Shit Binge & Purge is similar. James' voice in late 80's and early 90's is so powerful, probably his peak.
It really is ^^ My friends and I were just talking abiht about this -- wondering how people who had little contact with American culture or modern Western civilization would react to our popular music, specifically metal. Because we're all metalheads. But they should have played some Behemith hehe
I love how one person could easily imagine this music as headache inducing torture and another meant it would help against headaches. There is just such a large variety of music and taste and I love that. There is a sense of freedom in the thought that there is some music for everyone and every emotion.
And that’s just a sliver of our illusion, there’s beautiful sights, smells, taste, sensations what is the source of this infinite intelligence presented to you and me so casually 🙏
I also really enjoyed that point that was made. Metal music is beautiful for that reason, it becomes so personal for those that vibrate well with it, and stays personal for many of us long into our lives.
I like the old bearded man who just wants to talk quietly with his friends. He recognizes that he likes what he's used to and doesn't care for horns and engines. I think he knows that in a different life maybe he'd feel differently, but this is the life he is in. Also like the guy who wants more metal and found it soothing!
It's very wholesome to hear that one guy almost instantly worrying for the folks in the crowd, and he never stopped worrying either, and his reasoning is spot on.
@@evangelicalsnever-lie9792 That's just not true, go to a metal concert and you will see how calm and loving everybody is, it's pretty funny how metal fans look the most radical but actually behave the best.
@@bobfromwork Youve been to pussy concerts. I've been to violent concerts where there are always fights and arrests. ALWAYS, without fail there are fights and arrests. I have kicked the crap out of people at concerts who agressed me or grabbed my woman.
@@evangelicalsnever-lie9792 Though real rebels are metal bands from countries like Iran, where it's dangerous just to play such music. And if the lyrics are anti-religious, even worse.
Loving this channel, love the reactions and commentary. This has me looking forward to seeing Metallica in Chicago this summer even more now, never have gotten to see them live!
@@thejasonofalltrades *sits through the first five minutes of Octavarium* “wow that was a nice song, but there were no lyrics. Wait what do you mean that was just the intro?”
The grey haired guy was into it. He really seemed to get it, aside from the language barrier. Metal gets the crazy out. Their reactions are genuine and I really enjoy these videos, please keep it up, as long as it doesn't hurt their lifestyles.
Those were exactly my thoughts... I was wondering how the frequent exposure to Western world could gradually affect their lifestyle and culture..... which would be a pitty...
American music, played in Russia, interpreted in Pakistan (and I'm watching it all from the UK!) Beautiful! This isn't just a great reaction video, but were I a teacher, I'd show this to my students to remind them of the variety and commonality of all humans.
Not sure if they only found open minded people. But the older gentleman who didn’t like it was so polite and respectful. So cool to see people experience for the first time what we take for granted.
Yeah I respected that the guy wasn't judgemental about it; it just wasn't for him. There's no faulting that. I understood where he was coming from...I love metal but screamo literally affects me on a neurological level. It's not that it's hard. I LOVE Slipknot until the singer comes in then I can't turn the volume down enough. Not a criticism...that scream tone makes me physically uncomfortable. It's like it's in my genes to get away from it. I can imagine this guy might have felt similarly about Metallica.
This video is an amazing experiment. It shows a true microcosm of society’s feelings to metal: it hits different people in different ways. But despite the reasonable range of reactions and comments, somehow it all caught me off guard. How could something so aggressive and foreign sound soothing to an older Sindhi gentleman and get a young tribeswoman fired up? Clearly I need more faith in the open-mindedness of the world.
Music is a quality that transcends borders and cultures. It is one of the few universal loves for humankind. But yes, I was surprised she was into metal as well. I need to believe less in stereotypes.
I was surprised by this too - but then I reminded myself that I've listened to tribal and other music both traditional and otherwise and it's connected to something within me even though it's not my culture and/or foreign to me, so I imagine that it's something similar for these people. It's just hard to imagine that when it's a type of music that's so familiar to you!
the links between heavy metal and classical music are well established. Professor Adrian North at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh has undertaken the largest study to date on the connection between personality and musical preferences. His conclusions? Heavy metal and classical fans have more in common than you might think. Beyond sharing a love of the theatrical (think Wagner, Paganini, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss), both types of listeners tend to be introverted, creative and at ease with themselves.
@@knownasL on the surface it is. If you can get sheet music and compare compositions they are also quite similar. Check out some orchestral covers of metal. Rage against the machine's "killing in the name of" for example sounds great. This also works the other way around. Beethoven's "moonlight sonata" played with metal style instruments is haunting if tuned correctly.
@@knownasL generally yes, but there are cases like this that aren’t too bad when transcribed to a traditional instrumentation th-cam.com/video/cEe7baDJ3nM/w-d-xo.html
As an Indian, I have wondered how the people in the subcontinent, and I mean the real people like these, would react to a genre of music so close to my heart. This is just so wholesome.
The bassist from Millenium now lives in Australia, I know him very well. Malcolm is the most lovely bloke you could ever meet. First Indian Heavy Metal band to ever exist! Is great to see Pakisthan people react to this style of music.
I love heavy metal from thrash to death to black, I've been learning lead guitar and vocals. A lot of people love metal. I'm not Indian by nationality but my dad is Malaysian indian
@@Gatchi And that was over the course of all three days. You have a city of 1.6 million people and over three days only 51 went to the hospital. I posit that metalheads are safer to be around than normal people.
I discovered Metallica at the age of 13, and THIS was the song I first heard of theirs. It's still my all-time favorite out of all of their music. What a Crowd!! 😛
I'm amazed at these people's open-mindedness. Every single one of them comes out as way more receptive to others' cultures than, for example, my whole family. Props to these beautiful blokes.
My mom loved this music. When I was in elementary school, for gym we had to bring in music to do exercises to. I brought my mom's Metallica. The gym teacher didn't believe my mom, a heavy, permed grey-haired lady who wore pastel cat sweaters, really listened to Metallica and other heavy metal. My mom had to come in and tell them it was true! Hearing this makes me nostalgic. I miss her every day. She was an amazing person.
Ha! I’m a gray haired grandmother now that listens to this stuff! Your mom likely listened to things like Alice In Chains in her heyday. Anyway that was a cool story about your mom.
@@Swordatmidnight My mom loved Alice in Chains. Now *I'm* gray-haired and listening to Metallica. I grew up on my mom's music of Pink Floyd and The Doors and then Metallica and Black Sabbath.... My mom never stopped being interested in new music, and her tastes inspired mine and many others. I can totally rock a pastel kitten sweater, as well.
@@Tser 💓 My mom listened to every music that gave her excitement. Metallica and Rammstein were her favorite when she got older. I still see her cleaning and putting on some very loud Metallica or Rammstein. My parents lived in an apartment complex and the neighbors knew exactly when she was cleaning. My dad always left to go grocery shopping 😂 The priest told that story on her funeral. You could see the neighbors smiling and just nodding their heads.
I am an overweight, graying, grandma and I love Metallica. I have listened to them since I was a young teen. They are the only band that I would buy a new record of without hearing a note beforehand. They never have a bad song (for instance, the song being played here, is actually the worst song on the album).
I was a spotlight operator for the Metallica show opening the new stadium in Minneapolis Minnesota. As I fought against instinct to climb the 100 feet of chain ladder, I reconsidered what brought me to this life decision. When I got to the top I witnessed a unique point of view 50,000 Metallica fans pointing at me. I paused and then put my right hand up in the ROCK HORNS \m/. There was a wall of smoke and screams as 50,000 replied in unison.
@@maxemerson6955 every surface was vibrating, my wife could hear the concert in our home a mile and a half away. it was great for me suspended 80 feet above Lars, the flame bursts got hot. When we dropped thousands of black Metallica beach balls it was like living in a heavy metal lava lamp.
I went to a heavy metal concert (Edgar Winter) and the sound actually made me faint. When I woke up the concert was over, so I must have been out for awhile. Thank you again, Gentlemen, for your thoughtful comments. Heavy metal seems to have strong effect, one way or the other.
as a old school metal head just want to let you know, it is known code that if someone gets hurt or falls that you must help them up! Rules of the headbanger, to be so tough that you can be gentle. Been to many shows and always hit the pit, it was fun and never personal and always did what was right because its what a cool person does. peace and love to you all! Metal forever!!!
What a fantastic video, it was great to watch it and see these nicest people! They are all just so positive and open to new experiences. I really liked them all. It was a bit unfair to show them the biggest concert that ever happened because at least half of their impressions if not more came just from the scale of it. On the other hand, this made me remember how heavy a song Enter Sandman is, how it builds up and slams you hard. Especially in that live performance. If you’ve been listening to all sorts of metal for 25 you kind of forget, but it’s definitely not a “pop sellout” song as many people may try to present it. And at the end of the day this proves what I’ve been thinking lately: that metal is way more popular than most would think. Even here out of 5 people you have 2 new fans, one guy who’s interested, one kind of ok, and only one who would consider it torture. Metal rules!
Speaking of mixing Mongolian throat singing and heavy metal: 'Suld' does it amazingly. They're a Mongolian folk metal band. Of course there's 'The Hu' as well. Many growling singers have in the later years started studying and learning the technique, since it deepens their growl, but also is much healthier on the vocal chords.
The story behind this particular concert makes it so much more meaningful. This isn't just some huge crowd of people enjoying music. These are people who lived their entire life in Soviet dictatorship, where access to outside culture was scarce and illegal. This concert took place during the very last months of the USSR regime. To many people it was a true symbol of the regime coming to an end, and it made it clear that the walls of isolation from outside culture was finally collapsing. These are people who had been longing for freedom to explore new ways of life. So what sounds like a bunch of noise to one person, is deeply meaningful to another.
Remember that time, my uncle's friends and so others were smuggling music through borders, we were illegally listening to western radio stations. Everything was new for us. From that point of view it was great time, very exciting. Obviously not so exciting when we saw army on the streets.
I love watching their reactions. They all seem like such sweet people. Even when they don't like something they refrain from saying anything negative or unkind.
Thank you so much for reacting to Metallica in Moscow, i spent most of my youth traveling from one music festival to another and have some great memories of those times back in the 1980's and 90's. The guy who said the music was soothing, somebody buy that man a drink because he rocks ;-)
this channel is by far the best one when it comes to tribal channels you show these guys stuff that is genuinely interesting and explain it food videos always do well but these are the conversations im really looking for! id love to see them react to more music
Waaay better then ”Common man show”. Same concept.. I have been at their page from the start. I kid you not, not 1 single time have the producers shown themselves in the comment section.. And as we all know that goes a long way. Great job TRYBALS and thank you for a great show!
It's so interesting how the masculine aggression in heavy metal music is only understood from a Western Perspective. Whereas, when this type of content is shown to the tribal people, they see it as women with long hair, playing long instrumentals, in overly large crowds. Its kind of funny, how the cultural discrepancy is explored in their reactions.
There are metal heads, quite literally, all around the globe, not just in the Western world. It’s people in isolated and/or highly religious communities that are rarely exposed to, let alone fans of, the genre.
Me being tortured by americans after a week Americans "It has been a week and he is still slam dancing this guy is too hardcore for us, bring out the waterboard."
Being a Pakistani metalhead myself, this sure was wholesome and fun to watch! 🖤 I love how they're so open minded and appreciate the genre in their own ways. Still better than alot of Pakistani parents who think music in general is satanic lol
It's not just in Pakistan. There are narrow minded fools all over the world. I don't play most of my music around my mom. As a courtesy, as I know she would not like the heavier music. I was lucky that my mom/family did not censor my access to music, even if my tastes still baffel them at times.
The old man preferring quiet and the young woman who likes her music loud are so wholesome. And the man so worried about the crowd. Like a grandpa with a baby.
I think this is best to show the shock value of the crowd with the energy and the music, however if you want them to listen to the music a studio production might be a better choice. Great performance, sounds like shit.
Though not my favorite music, this is perhaps my favorite video. Those were such hopeful times. I was surprised how much some of the viewers enjoyed the music. Awesome reaction videos. I've learned so much about human nature. At my age, that's a real treat. No reason to get old when it comes to learning.
He said we would threaten our children when they dont want to sleep. Saying we would tell them that animals would come after them and even conpared it to the taliban. Did you not see that part of the video at about 6:10 ?
This is so true. When I was a teenager, when I was mad at my parents and feeling like thrashing my room to pieces, instead I put on something aggressive and noisy, like Pantera - Suicide Note Part 2. It would only take a minute to calm me down. :)
This is such a fascinating experiment to me. As a rock musician, it's easy for me to forget just how massive "enter sandman" still is and was when it was released. It's beautiful to me to see people from different cultures reactions to a staple of my life. It's simply beautiful!
"Why is she playing drums without clothes?" - This man has understood everything you need to know about Lars Ulrich after hearing only a few hits on a hi-hat.
LOL!! That is funny af! My Drummer(r.i.p Randy) HATED Lars. But in all due respect, as I told Randy...He is Keeping it simple and Solid. Lars aint a Neil Peart, a Portnoy, Willy Calhoun, Gene Kruppa, Buddy Rich, Terry Bozio, (too many to mention here). LOL! But that Girl(lars) did Bring into market the Double Bass Drills. LOL!
100% agreement with the guy, who said "it makes me relax". Same thing for me, but I'm a huge metal-fan. The complexity and the pure wildness, has some elements of classical composition too, to create this cartharsis thing, it's amazing. Dude you should definately explore some more music like this, your a metal-head!
It's almost like it shakes you out of whatever you're thinking/stressing about and forces you to be in the moment. Like the music is saying, "I don't care what you WERE doing, you're fucking listening to metal right now. Pay attention or I will melt your fucking face off. In fact, fuck you I'm gonna do it anyway."
They use breaks harder than the semi in the music video. They use change ups that leave us with a sonic whiplash. I told my son that Beethoven was the heavy metal of his time. He started listening to classical now as well as metal.
I noticed these people were very respectful when they talked and gave their opinions. There’s no hate, anger, cursing, racism; too bad we can’t all be like that.
Lovely people. I specially enjoyed the comentary from the young lady who really seem to vibe with the louder more aggressive sounds. Love that. Than the older gentleman who seemed more pragmatic and studied the sound more while describing it as "soothing". Unexpected and pretty cool as well. The humorous comments about the drummer being a "woman with such big drums she should be proud of" and the "heavy weight" comment had me ROTFL. Keep this up TRYBALLS. It is eye opening and educational.
So happy to see so many Russian army soldiers there having fun! i'm 61, from the USA...I still like metal! Love to see those people joyfully rocking out! See, there are things we ALL enjoy together! Art and music are universal.
I've watched some newer video's, but I love to see how your love for metal music first began with Metallica. Absolutely love the concept of your channel. And how much work the guy behind the camera does to learn new things about the world, and his eagerness to share his new knowledge with the other guys. And can someone give the lady (Paarvati, I think?) an IPod please? She should be able to enjoy loud music where ever she wants!
Not many people like this music! I was talking to them from a Pakistani's perspective folks. How can you not see such crowd and me sharing the fact that Metallica is the first band to perform in all seven continents. In Pakistan many people dislike this kind of music but I am a metalhead on the other hand. Please stop lol!

Agreed. I think people forget that different culture are not quite connected easily. Especially people in rural areas like this! I got it. :)
Can’t wait to see the Hu videos!
As a fellow metal head who listens to mostly Black Metal, I think Metallica was an awesome choice to start with. Well done Sir. Also, who knew Parvati was a budding metal head. 👍🏽

Many people may love Heavy Metal, but the idea of what others might think of them is what makes them reject it, because they are afraid of not being accepted by others!
That's the world we live nowadays!
Referring to Lars as "she without clothes on" was hilarious

Back in 1990 I was in Alabama visiting my brother and sister in law. Me and TJ went to pick up his wife's car. I was driving the truck home. While waiting I was parked behind this older man about 65. He walked up to the truck and said, "excuse me ma'am. Would you mind moving your truck"? I said I'm not a ma'am. His moutj hit the floor. I had hair down to my ass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“No, I like it.”

It's bc she didn't have any prejudice bc she didn't know anything about metal. Now I love Metallica but when I first heard them with this song, I was a bit scared 😂

This music is not to make you go insane. It's to let out the pain from inside and let go of it. Where some people understand, others don't. That's why a lot of people don't understand metal.
Amen
Or it's just heavy and badass and sounds awesome. Although i will admit when i worked in construction I listened to a lot more metal and it wasn't because life was good lol
I actually get "pain" from listening to stuff that's too simple and formulaic. I like primal, heavy, dissonant, jazzy, weird, experimental, high complexity.
P.S. Really bad choice of sound system to present metal on. Of course metal sounds like crap on a 5 cent laptop speaker.
Grindcore and Raw Black metal want to make you insane.
Precisely. I enjoy many styles of music, but metal is so...empowering...energetic...and yes, anger-expressing/releasing sometimes. And some of its lyrics are downright poetry, such as some of Ozzy's, Iron Maiden's, and Metallica's, which make you think.
This quiet village girl timidly saying that she actually really enjoys heavy metal just made my day. Thank you.

I loved how the old guy immediately got that it was a lullaby, but his kids would not sleep after haring it. That was priceless. The guy with the cool hat being mostly concerned about the crowd was very nice, he didn't seem to like the music but would like to invite them to lunch.

I have no basis for this theory mind you other than myself, but i feel like metal and other fast/loud music like this has to have some sort of relation to people with anxiety or some form of ADHD. Like, your mind NEVER STOPS racing, so something else coming in and doing the racing for you helps relax us. I get some of my best work done when i have something like Death Grips, The Prodigy, or Knocked Loose in the background.

Metallica's concert in Moscow was a historic event. The cold war that existed over 50 years had just ended. The youth of Russia finally experienced a sense of freedom for the first time. Metallica's songs are stress relieving. Believe me, Russia had a LOT of pent up stress! The youth went wild :)
Approximately 1.6 *million* attended. It was one of the largest concerts ever performed.
The USSR fell in December. The concert took place in september
@@randomclipsmilitary9056 yeah but USSR start falls since 89-90
А потом наступили 90-е года, в которых умерло советского народа больше чем во второй мировой войне, люди стали беднее в сотни раз, на улицах были бандитизм, беззаконие, безработица и наркотики. И только тогда люди поняли, что потеряли настоящую свободу, обменяв её на джинсы, жвачку и кока колу.

Metal is such a universal language. I love how anyone in any country can create a metal band and display their ideas of what it should sound like
They were probably told not to say anything to offensive, remember this is the internet, don't believe everything you read and see.
They didn't grow up hearing that metal was the devil's music. They likely wouldnt have even did it if they had lol.
Yeah metal rules!
They are probably nice people... but pit someone in front of a camera and edit a video and you arent really getting a natural reaction.
That old dude with the glasses on is the real metalhead. He just discovered his love for metal. I'd like to be in a mosh pit with that dude.
He really loved the music, but was the only one that seemed to be truly concerned about the safety of the mosh pit. 😂🥰🥰

You could see the spark in his eyes, Metal is universal!
He was caught in the mosh as soon as that proud lady with the large drums started playing!

My mistake. On other episodes (maybe reaction to how large solar system is) there is a young man that constantly bounces his head around. Maybe that's why I thought India
@@scottoshea9440 To be fair, both Pakistan and Bangladesh have previously been part of India, and the three, as well as Nepal and Sri Lanka, share a huge amount of linguistic and cultural heritage (with the head bobbing you're referring to being one example), and so the term "South Asia(n)" is often used to refer to any of these countries while avoiding the need to specify a particular nation.
Geographic terminology is pretty confusing, and the political realities of any given region really don't help. The essence of your comment was ultimately accurate, not to mention funny, hence all the likes.
Everyone is so kind and respectful even if they don’t completely like it. I love nature and peaceful things and also love Metallica and some metal.
What a sweet and kind hearted group of people here 💞
That one guy in the grey shirt was a repressed metal head and didn't even know it, "Play more, Play this every day, Play all of it NOWWW"

For USSR it was the real wall-breaking event. Even the military guys started vibing, though initially being brought there to control the crowd. That's the true force of music to gather and transform people.

hell yeah brother music is universal language
Western music was banned for so long, just traditional music and BAD BAD soviet pop to listen to. I think I'd flip out and get excited freely listening to real music live for the first time too.
@@AwesomeFish12 yes, I think these bands were allowed to play because of a change of attitude in leadership. Gorbachev was enacting perestrokia and I believe these concerts were part of it.
@@AwesomeFish12 What tf are you talking about. People in the USSR could listen to foreign music during the Soviet Union, it just had to be approved by the government. Sometimes foreign artists held concerts in the Soviet Union. Western music wasn't banned altogether. And music was relatively diverse, not just "traditional music" (which was more classical than trad btw. Hearing actual ethnographic songs from villages was extremely rare). Pop music wasn't bad at all, it was actually very good, with strong melodies etc (I'd say Russian pop music today is generally worse than it was 35 years ago). Even Soviet cartoons and movies had excellent music (classic example: Bremenskiye Muzykanty). Most music was rooted in a well-structured, classical melody tradition though, so at some point a lot of people wanted to hear something fresher (mainly younger people). The problem is that you weren't allowed to be a pro musician and be paid for it unless you were a member of the musician's union of the Soviet Union (a.k.a a government approved musician/composer), which meant you had to go really underground to showcase your music. Even though music in the Soviet Union wasn't as diverse as in some other countries until the mid 80's, it still was great music. Metal that came into the USSR during the Perestroika felt super fresh, which is why a lot of people liked it (and why a lot of Russians are metalheads even today). Metal was associated with freedom and coolness. Doesn't mean that old music was not "real". Stop spreading bs when you know nothing what life is or was like in other countries.

"Not many people like this music"
Biggest crowd legitimately ever
Yeah, the only thing that annoyed me was the takes of the interviewer on the subject, like: "do you need aspirins?" and "no matter how hard you try, some things won't mix up together, like water and oil. This would never mix up with nature" and others.
The thing is, art is a subjective thing and it can be brought up to the table in almost infinite ways, since every and each people has its own takes on various different subjects.
Yeah, I think I got this out of my chest hahaha
Comparing with all Indian or Chinese people who don't like metal this crowd is nothing.
@@leandro8897 they just don't understand our culture. It's okay, there's alot about the way they live that seems odd to us too. It helps make us interesting as long as people can coexist.
@@dmytrocks it's just remarkable because this is the 5th biggest concert ever held with somewhere around 1.6 million in attendance. At the time, I believe this was the 2nd biggest concert ever held, 2nd to a concert held in Paris 1 year prior that had 2.5m in attendance. Compared to countries like India, or China with populations well over 1 billion people, that may not seem like a lot, though I suspect it still is. Especially for western society where historically we don't often gather that many people unless it's for battle, and they were all there to rock the fuuuuuck out 🤘🤘
He was trying so hard to make them be closed minded about it and they were just cool about it
So just to recap:
- He played what is the greatest commercial metal song ever written
- Played the video of Metallica in Moscow, where you can clearly see and feel their energy
- Brought in additional speakers to best represent metal at its finest (loud af)
- Knowledgeable about the band through and through

Good on these people for coming with their open minds. I find their reactions were honest, pure . We are all different and many among us change often. We must allow this in each other without physical conflict or hurtful words. Everyone must be free to experience this life, and then, to share the thoughts freely, without fear of any oppression or condescension.
I love how calm and thoughtful and polite they all are. When they saw the crowd, they expressed concern for the safety of the people there. It was heartwarming, and they were right. It's fascinating to see how others perceive things I grew up thinking of as normal.
Cause they are very genuine persons I think, less contaminated , with out pop culture influence maybe, with simple apetite and diferents worryes perhaps

Heavy metal vocals are found in nature. Guitar distortions bear no meaning without the artist. The inly thing hell related is the people who sing it.

Thanks for the video! It's always cool to see how Metal just transcends all cultures and brings us together in one unified Headbang 🤘

I dig the young lady who likes loud music. And also the dude who seemed open to other heavy metal. It's really cool to get perspectives from other cultures. Nicely done, sir.
Funny thing is these "tribals" are more open-minded than the narrator.
Love how the one gent was so blown away, not by the music itself, but by the spectacle of it all. The power of the combined experience. He said it gave him chills. He’s a straight up bro.
Not one person said this is from a warlike culture or the west is anger & death. Music is the international language. 🎉
I'm now going to Spotify to listen to it uninterrupted. Haven't heard it in a while... such a good song
Do you know the cover by Lemmy from Motorhead ? Fantastic ! Also his cover of " Heroes " ? WOW
But on Spotify you can't find this Moscow live version which is brutal 😁 Well, Mexico's Live Shit Binge & Purge is similar. James' voice in late 80's and early 90's is so powerful, probably his peak.
Two of these people have discovered they are metalheads. The lady’s embracing of it especially is just wonderful.

There is just such a large variety of music and taste and I love that. There is a sense of freedom in the thought that there is some music for everyone and every emotion.
I'm a metalhead that goes to sleep with metal music on, but I don't think I'd want to hear it all day lol
I had a migraine at Metallica concert once. It was torture.
And that’s just a sliver of our illusion, there’s beautiful sights, smells, taste, sensations what is the source of this infinite intelligence presented to you and me so casually 🙏

Not sure if they only found open minded people. But the older gentleman who didn’t like it was so polite and respectful. So cool to see people experience for the first time what we take for granted.
they were polite because said *why* they didn't liked it.. and not an occidental "this is shit" 😅
Yeah I respected that the guy wasn't judgemental about it; it just wasn't for him. There's no faulting that. I understood where he was coming from...I love metal but screamo literally affects me on a neurological level. It's not that it's hard. I LOVE Slipknot until the singer comes in then I can't turn the volume down enough. Not a criticism...that scream tone makes me physically uncomfortable. It's like it's in my genes to get away from it. I can imagine this guy might have felt similarly about Metallica.
This video is an amazing experiment. It shows a true microcosm of society’s feelings to metal: it hits different people in different ways. But despite the reasonable range of reactions and comments, somehow it all caught me off guard. How could something so aggressive and foreign sound soothing to an older Sindhi gentleman and get a young tribeswoman fired up? Clearly I need more faith in the open-mindedness of the world.
That is exactly the same thing I was thinking
Music is a quality that transcends borders and cultures. It is one of the few universal loves for humankind.
But yes, I was surprised she was into metal as well. I need to believe less in stereotypes.
I was surprised by this too - but then I reminded myself that I've listened to tribal and other music both traditional and otherwise and it's connected to something within me even though it's not my culture and/or foreign to me, so I imagine that it's something similar for these people. It's just hard to imagine that when it's a type of music that's so familiar to you!
Thrash metal welcomes you.
Metal loves everyone!
To Parvati i say, keep playing it loud and proud!
Yes indeed brother
You are some of the most amazing and accepting people i have ever seen. Much, much respect to you.
the links between heavy metal and classical music are well established. Professor Adrian North at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh has undertaken the largest study to date on the connection between personality and musical preferences. His conclusions? Heavy metal and classical fans have more in common than you might think. Beyond sharing a love of the theatrical (think Wagner, Paganini, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss), both types of listeners tend to be introverted, creative and at ease with themselves.
But the differences in the music itself is like black and white.
@@knownasL on the surface it is. If you can get sheet music and compare compositions they are also quite similar. Check out some orchestral covers of metal. Rage against the machine's "killing in the name of" for example sounds great. This also works the other way around.

“Very few people like this kind of music”
Evidently from the small number of people who showed up to the gig.

My mom had to come in and tell them it was true! Hearing this makes me nostalgic. I miss her every day. She was an amazing person.
Also I just looked up and my parrot was head-bobbing and flapping her wings in time with the music. AHhaha!
Ha! I’m a gray haired grandmother now that listens to this stuff!
Your mom likely listened to things like Alice In Chains in her heyday.
Anyway that was a cool story about your mom.
@@Swordatmidnight My mom loved Alice in Chains. Now *I'm* gray-haired and listening to Metallica. I grew up on my mom's music of Pink Floyd and The Doors and then Metallica and Black Sabbath.... My mom never stopped being interested in new music, and her tastes inspired mine and many others. I can totally rock a pastel kitten sweater, as well.
@@Tser 💓
My mom listened to every music that gave her excitement. Metallica and Rammstein were her favorite when she got older. I still see her cleaning and putting on some very loud Metallica or Rammstein. My parents lived in an apartment complex and the neighbors knew exactly when she was cleaning. My dad always left to go grocery shopping 😂
The priest told that story on her funeral. You could see the neighbors smiling and just nodding their heads.
I am an overweight, graying, grandma and I love Metallica. I have listened to them since I was a young teen. They are the only band that I would buy a new record of without hearing a note beforehand. They never have a bad song (for instance, the song being played here, is actually the worst song on the album).
I was a spotlight operator for the Metallica show opening the new stadium in Minneapolis Minnesota. As I fought against instinct to climb the 100 feet of chain ladder, I reconsidered what brought me to this life decision. When I got to the top I witnessed a unique point of view 50,000 Metallica fans pointing at me. I paused and then put my right hand up in the ROCK HORNS \m/. There was a wall of smoke and screams as 50,000 replied in unison.
How was the sound? I've heard mixed things; that the glass caused issues with sound(??)
@@maxemerson6955 every surface was vibrating, my wife could hear the concert in our home a mile and a half away. it was great for me suspended 80 feet above Lars, the flame bursts got hot. When we dropped thousands of black Metallica beach balls it was like living in a heavy metal lava lamp.
@@GameOfDepth What an experience…
You were a moving part in what I can only assume to have been hundreds of shows.
Thank you.
@@beatfromjetsetradio8239 \m/ universal love
Thats cool
I went to a heavy metal concert (Edgar Winter) and the sound actually made me faint. When I woke up the concert was over, so I must have been out for awhile. Thank you again, Gentlemen, for your thoughtful comments. Heavy metal seems to have strong effect, one way or the other.
Says the woman whose arms are literally covered with metal: "I like it."
You don't say XD
😂😂😂
She plays in an epic metal band obv as a bassist
She have the most metal around metal band
She has the coolest adornments! I wonder what they are called and where they are from.
@@thebluriam they are from Sindh and worn by women after marriage (I think) and mostly by families having Hindu ancestry and also by Sindhu Hindus.
as a old school metal head just want to let you know, it is known code that if someone gets hurt or falls that you must help them up! Rules of the headbanger, to be so tough that you can be gentle. Been to many shows and always hit the pit, it was fun and never personal and always did what was right because its what a cool person does. peace and love to you all! Metal forever!!!
10 hands help you up before you even touch the ground.
Somebody should have told Travis Scott this.
Hail metal!! Thrash 'till death!! 🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
Iam.a small 160cm woman and always got help during metal Festivals and concerts.. got lifted up on shoulders many times..
The ways of Dubstep and Rave have taken from the world of Metal and kept all its principles, we would make you proud! #PLUR
"Look how large the crowd is"
"Very few people like this kind of music"
🤣
He was talking about in Pakistan. There was a pinned comment explaining it 😂
Statistics says very few people like it.. People there would be 1% of Russian population... and everyone is there.. 🤷♀️
When you compare a couple thousand to billions it is quite small.
@@clFer777 so? Its still one of the biggest concerts ever. You want like 50 million people to go there to say "its 33% of russian population"?
What a fantastic video, it was great to watch it and see these nicest people! They are all just so positive and open to new experiences. I really liked them all. It was a bit unfair to show them the biggest concert that ever happened because at least half of their impressions if not more came just from the scale of it. On the other hand, this made me remember how heavy a song Enter Sandman is, how it builds up and slams you hard. Especially in that live performance. If you’ve been listening to all sorts of metal for 25 you kind of forget, but it’s definitely not a “pop sellout” song as many people may try to present it. And at the end of the day this proves what I’ve been thinking lately: that metal is way more popular than most would think. Even here out of 5 people you have 2 new fans, one guy who’s interested, one kind of ok, and only one who would consider it torture. Metal rules!
This is great.
But I also appreciate the concern they express for the people in the crowd.
I wish them all the best!
Speaking of mixing Mongolian throat singing and heavy metal: 'Suld' does it amazingly. They're a Mongolian folk metal band. Of course there's 'The Hu' as well. Many growling singers have in the later years started studying and learning the technique, since it deepens their growl, but also is much healthier on the vocal chords.
I love Suld! I am honestly surprised there aren't more bands like them. Throat singing and metal make so much sense together.
@@caitthecat Mongol metal often sounds like dark folk viking metal XD
Attila Csihar of Mayhem throat sang in De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.
The intro to The Art of Dying by Gojira uses throat singing in the intro, and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard
'Tengger Cavalry' too
The story behind this particular concert makes it so much more meaningful. This isn't just some huge crowd of people enjoying music. These are people who lived their entire life in Soviet dictatorship, where access to outside culture was scarce and illegal. This concert took place during the very last months of the USSR regime.
To many people it was a true symbol of the regime coming to an end, and it made it clear that the walls of isolation from outside culture was finally collapsing. These are people who had been longing for freedom to explore new ways of life. So what sounds like a bunch of noise to one person, is deeply meaningful to another.
Remember that time, my uncle's friends and so others were smuggling music through borders, we were illegally listening to western radio stations. Everything was new for us. From that point of view it was great time, very exciting. Obviously not so exciting when we saw army on the streets.
@@DarkDefender01 Incredible! Thanks for telling :)
"longing for freedom" lmao
These perspectives just blow my mind
@@justanormalguyonyoutube1098 i know lol
Worthwhile, genuine video! Thanks.
I love watching their reactions. They all seem like such sweet people. Even when they don't like something they refrain from saying anything negative or unkind.
because they were told not to be offensive, you can only imagine what that guy was saying about women after the lars comment
@@cshepard09 or we could also had him say shhhh don't say that it's not kind. Let's do this part one more time 😂
Yes Tyler. Very good point. I really enjoyed watching this as well! I have a totally different view of this culture now.
@@AndreChandler well u should probably check the first reply before forming or changing ur view on them
@@TRYBALS more heavy metal content please like slipknot, kiss, guns and Roses, etc.
Thank you so much for reacting to Metallica in Moscow, i spent most of my youth traveling from one music festival to another and have some great memories of those times back in the 1980's and 90's. The guy who said the music was soothing, somebody buy that man a drink because he rocks ;-)
Was this the concert in Russia where they played with Ac/Dc -
@@julianawright5635 - Yes
I’m jealous bro, that would of been the life cruising to all of these gigs and getting to actually experience it first hand 🤘🏼🤘🏼👌🏼
this channel is by far the best one when it comes to tribal channels you show these guys stuff that is genuinely interesting and explain it food videos always do well but these are the conversations im really looking for! id love to see them react to more music
Thank you Liam, I feel so honored by your comment!
@@TRYBALS I agree too❤️❤️❤️
Waaay better then ”Common man show”.
Same concept..
I have been at their page from the start. I kid you not, not 1 single time have the producers shown themselves in the comment section..
And as we all know that goes a long way.
Great job TRYBALS and thank you for a great show!
I agree. I almost always have a smile on my face or a tear in my eye at the end of a reaction vid.
@@TRYBALS Your videos help us feel connected to people across the world. We all occupy the same planet. Thank you!
Fascinating!! I couldn’t stop watching and listening to their comments. I learned so much. Thank you!!
“Everyone likes Metallica, some people just don’t know it yet.”
This comment deserve the most likes.
Metallica was my 1st favorite rock band .. almost 20 years ago. They had a hand in shaping my life.
same for classical music lol
@@talos_x9295 True just remind people that the Dark Souls soundtrack is classical music lol
@@matthewcarson2221 yep lmao
It's so interesting how the masculine aggression in heavy metal music is only understood from a Western Perspective. Whereas, when this type of content is shown to the tribal people, they see it as women with long hair, playing long instrumentals, in overly large crowds. Its kind of funny, how the cultural discrepancy is explored in their reactions.
There are metal heads, quite literally, all around the globe, not just in the Western world. It’s people in isolated and/or highly religious communities that are rarely exposed to, let alone fans of, the genre.
Getting the masculine aggression and calling Lars a woman are in fact consistent with each other
@@LizardMan-ek8ej rock and metal music is inherently western though
*ignores the insanely huge South Korean hardcore scene and Japanese metal scene*
@@Jmack7861 tbh south korea and japan are the most westernized countries in the whole far east after the US' intervention
"A great form of torture" Honestly tears came out of my eyes with laughter. Bless you all.
Bless you too 🤗
If I'm not mistaken it's (heavy metal) been used by American forces just like the bagpipes use to be used on the battle field.
Me being tortured by americans after a week
Americans "It has been a week and he is still slam dancing this guy is too hardcore for us, bring out the waterboard."
@@TRYBALS show them more i mean like meaningful metal songs with subtitles
@@dovahbear0 Yep, first I heard of it was them blaring Welcome To The Jungle day and night, lol.
Absolutely amazing people, it blows my mind how open minded they are. Wow.
Being a Pakistani metalhead myself, this sure was wholesome and fun to watch! 🖤 I love how they're so open minded and appreciate the genre in their own ways. Still better than alot of Pakistani parents who think music in general is satanic lol
🤘🤗❤️🌷
Damn i never thought you would be here.
@@Khayal101 I'm sorry, do we know each other? 😳
@@byzmaaref lol i don't know if you remember me, but we used to be friends on FB, gosh i just adored your goth Cosplays 💜🖤
It's not just in Pakistan. There are narrow minded fools all over the world.
I don't play most of my music around my mom. As a courtesy, as I know she would not like the heavier music. I was lucky that my mom/family did not censor my access to music, even if my tastes still baffel them at times.
The old man preferring quiet and the young woman who likes her music loud are so wholesome. And the man so worried about the crowd. Like a grandpa with a baby.
Dude that was so cool I honestly could watch this all day! Love and respect to you brothers and sister!
This is definitely a cultural shock for them, Music comes in all forms.
"It's heart wrenching"
The feeling the music invokes transcends culture, language, and time. This was great.
Also, props to using one of Metallica's most legendary live performances!
Monster of rock at tushino airfield!
Shoulda showed 'em Pantera's performance of Domination from this show.
I think this is best to show the shock value of the crowd with the energy and the music, however if you want them to listen to the music a studio production might be a better choice. Great performance, sounds like shit.
Though not my favorite music, this is perhaps my favorite video. Those were such hopeful times. I was surprised how much some of the viewers enjoyed the music. Awesome reaction videos. I've learned so much about human nature. At my age, that's a real treat. No reason to get old when it comes to learning.
This is the reaction video we need. Open minded people, learning, observing and having an honest conversation. Love it. ❤️
damn you put that well.
He said we would threaten our children when they dont want to sleep. Saying we would tell them that animals would come after them and even conpared it to the taliban. Did you not see that part of the video at about 6:10 ?
Sure he misunderstood that part of the interview he put on screen but its still a big lie
I too feel relieved listening to heavy metal. It’s aggressive and helps get your anxiety and aggressions out of your body just by listening!
This is so true. When I was a teenager, when I was mad at my parents and feeling like thrashing my room to pieces, instead I put on something aggressive and noisy, like Pantera - Suicide Note Part 2. It would only take a minute to calm me down. :)
It makes me anxious.
You should check out some foom metal, it's super heavy but ultra relaxing simultaneously.
@@100GTAGUY ^Doom Metal
@@821elz sucks bro, to me it's the most liberating feeling ever especially playing it. Releases all the hate from body in a safe way
This is such a fascinating experiment to me. As a rock musician, it's easy for me to forget just how massive "enter sandman" still is and was when it was released. It's beautiful to me to see people from different cultures reactions to a staple of my life. It's simply beautiful!
this was an unexpected surprise on my Playlist and it was hilariously awesome
"Why is she playing drums without clothes?" - This man has understood everything you need to know about Lars Ulrich after hearing only a few hits on a hi-hat.
Needs more China!
LOL!! That is funny af! My Drummer(r.i.p Randy) HATED Lars. But in all due respect, as I told Randy...He is Keeping it simple and Solid. Lars aint a Neil Peart, a Portnoy, Willy Calhoun, Gene Kruppa, Buddy Rich, Terry Bozio, (too many to mention here). LOL! But that Girl(lars) did Bring into market the Double Bass Drills. LOL!
“He has longer hair than most women”
“…SUCH men usually have long hair…”
"And what do they do with it? You'll soon see" 😂 that whole interaction had me cracking up.
Jordan Rudess disagree xD
@@FranciscoJavier246 well to be fair, Rudess did have long hair when he first joined DT
@@Kraz3e987 jajaja I know bro it was just a joke 😉
100% agreement with the guy, who said "it makes me relax". Same thing for me, but I'm a huge metal-fan. The complexity and the pure wildness, has some elements of classical composition too, to create this cartharsis thing, it's amazing. Dude you should definately explore some more music like this, your a metal-head!
It's almost like it shakes you out of whatever you're thinking/stressing about and forces you to be in the moment. Like the music is saying, "I don't care what you WERE doing, you're fucking listening to metal right now. Pay attention or I will melt your fucking face off. In fact, fuck you I'm gonna do it anyway."
They use breaks harder than the semi in the music video. They use change ups that leave us with a sonic whiplash. I told my son that Beethoven was the heavy metal of his time. He started listening to classical now as well as metal.
Its weird, but I also agree with Muhamad (sorry if wrong name). I dunno why, but listening to the scream and the wild music made me so happy and free.
Such a beautiful panel here❤ I really enjoy all your reactions 😊
I noticed these people were very respectful when they talked and gave their opinions. There’s no hate, anger, cursing, racism; too bad we can’t all be like that.
Such terrible attitude comes from being comfortable and privileged.
Most of the general population is like this. Read some zen , there's always gonna be evil in the world
Such attitude you will find everywhere. Not just among the priveleged.
Agreed!
@@soundshack33These people are Sindhi. In 1948, over 1 million of them left Pakistan to get away from Muslims.
Lovely people. I specially enjoyed the comentary from the young lady who really seem to vibe with the louder more aggressive sounds. Love that.
Than the older gentleman who seemed more pragmatic and studied the sound more while describing it as "soothing". Unexpected and pretty cool as well. The humorous comments about the drummer being a "woman with such big drums she should be proud of" and the "heavy weight" comment had me ROTFL. Keep this up TRYBALLS. It is eye opening and educational.
😂😂😂😂😂....NO WOMEN IN THIS BAND..😂
no not tryballs 💀
So happy to see so many Russian army soldiers there having fun! i'm 61, from the USA...I still like metal! Love to see those people joyfully rocking out! See, there are things we ALL enjoy together! Art and music are universal.
I've watched some newer video's, but I love to see how your love for metal music first began with Metallica. Absolutely love the concept of your channel. And how much work the guy behind the camera does to learn new things about the world, and his eagerness to share his new knowledge with the other guys.
And can someone give the lady (Paarvati, I think?) an IPod please? She should be able to enjoy loud music where ever she wants!
