The entire Master of Puppets album is preserved in the Library of Congress for being culturally significant to the country. Every song in it is great and worth a listen in my opinion.
Couldn't agree more my friend
Proof that metal is an important part of our culture.
It was also the very first Metal album to do so!
It's a masterpiece of Thrash Metal 100% It's not Just music anymore, It's art.
That's awesome
This specific song is about drug addiction, but the general theme of the album is control/helplessness. Most songs are about outside factors trying to control a person. I recommend you to check out Disposable Heroes or Leper Messiah, though just about any song is good. Definitely one of the most important albums in their career.
This and ....And Justice For All with the title song, Blackened, One, and Dyers Eve.
I have always felt that the melodic bridge in this song DeLuca the addict getting sober. Then it twists and gets dark and chaotic as the addict relapses... just my thoughts though
Well explained, but imo this is the most important metal album of all time... RTL was the first step but this was a masterpiece.. why oh why the f did cliff have to be taken away from us... Can only imagine what else they may have come up with with him. But have to thank the legend and the rest of Metallica for giving us all what they have and obviously for enabling the legend that is Jason to have had a crack at it.
@@gabrielstratton1775 it's more like the addict GOT his fix and is in the euphoria of the hit, where everything is nice and feels good... but as the song creeps towards harsher and harsher notes as time goes on, that's the hit wearing off and the addict starting to feel the need gnawing at them until it's almost painful. At which point they can't help but cry out about the loss of that high, the sensation it brought. They even curse the drug with "you promised only lies", and yet they will still go looking for the next fix. Because it's now a hunger. It runs through them, and rules them, teasing them with that blissful high that gets further and further from reach.
I think this album and the next two were huge in the career developing of the band with all the very big changes that happen during that time !!
Part of me just wants to ask new Metallica listeners what took them so long, but the other part just makes me jealous that they get to experience for the first time. I wish I could relive that moment. Watching the reactions is the closest I can ever get anymore.
Erm... Stranger Things? And as a Metallica fan, I'm eternally happy for that...
Yah - Seeing young millenials react to this song specifically is what started me on my craze for watching reaction channels. I didn't know this was even a thing 3 years ago.
If it wasn't for a TH-cam title on my suggested feed "Rap fan - First time hearing Metallica" I may never have known this was a thing, never would have found Lilly, and may never have heard of Tom MacDonald, since I gave up listening to rap more than 15 years ago (Eminem - Encore was the last rap album I purchased or cared about until Discovering Tom in 2020 thanks to my growing addiction to watching reaction channels listening to the music I grew up on in the 80s - was like hearing these songs again for the first time).
@@Frostrazor I am in the same boat about my awareness of reaction channels, if I hadn't seen rap fan reacts to Metallica for the first time.
don't be jealous of them; you've had the privilege of having these awesome songs accompany you for only you know for how long - let us just be happy that they now also get to get these awesome companions
@@dalefleming6427 Lost in Vegas had a few pop up for me. I wasn’t subscribed nor had I seen their channel. I watched a couple…then they did Them Bones, by AIC, of course. Blasts immediately in a heavy distorted 7/8 riff for the intro/verse and switches Ruth to 4/4 for the chorus. When I introduce people to Alice In Chains, it’s not my go-to. I’m surprised and happy they (LIV) enjoyed it. Dude on the left’s enthusiasm was awesome and dude on the right was good too.
The ultimate metal music rule, NEVER pause in the middle of a guitar solo..
Word!
Came here to say that but knew in my heart someone would have already done it. 😂
This song is about addiction, with the drug being the master and the addicted being the puppet. You will notice that when the music gets melodic in the middle it is the addicted getting their fix and things are good. It slowly builds louder and faster as the effects of the drug wear off and the user is left wrecked, disillusioned and begging for another fix.
Can also relate to people who believe in politics and the government is always right and believe in their false promises.
Politics is the equivalent of drugs. Seeing people at rally believing in false promises are the addicts crawling to their master.
Then you obey your master burning your brain away with countless lies and overwhelmed by such negativity until when suddenly your life burned faster when you voted the MASTER and you pray to your master and ask where the dreams that they "promised " only to find out you were lied to since day 1.
Laughter Laughter the master laughing at your cries.
It's all a show and just as deadly as drugs.
And the master of puppets is the president and you were all his puppets. You see how you can find the similarities between politics and drugs? It's all the same straight to the core. Even rehab exists...But only for those who were smart enough to cut theirs strings. And truly live.
addiction to coke lots of coke.
Sure, but the line, "chop your breakfast on a mirror" solidifies the meaning that it's about drug addiction. Cocaine specifically.
@@Mr.Potato420 not just cocaine, there were references to other drugs too:
"Needle Work The Way" is a reference to Heroin
Rest in Peace Cliff Burton. This hype moment of master of puppets is for you
@Lilly Jane Reacts , This was the last recorded album featuring Metallica bass guitarist Cliff Burton. He was with them on tour to support the album in Sweden. On September 26, 1986, Cliff was tragically killed in an accident involving the tour bus outside of Stockholm. He was 24. RIP Cliff Burton (1962-1986). We miss you dearly.
😢
I always loved "Ride the Lightning" album by Metallica. Fade to black and For Whom The Bell Tolls are great listens. R.I.P Cliff
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) is a forever track on my playlists regardless of genre because of how magnificent Cliffs bass playing is
FADE TO BLACK 🔥🔥🔥
For Whom the Bell Tolls is my all time favorite Metallica song
Agreed
That album cover actually relates to the song “Disposable Heroes” even more so than it does the title track.
Drug addiction is everywhere including the military, I think the album cover still fits Master of Puppets perfectly fine in addition to fitting in pretty well for quite a few of the songs.
@@Fractal_32 moreover, the album’s theme is control.
Addicts or soldiers, it works for both.
I think the cover covers (heheh) the whole albums topic, everything controls us from drugs, mental illness, war, anger, neglect, etc
@@Fractal_32 yeah the crosses with the helmet and dog tags and the strings, all so good. Perfect album imo
@@primary2630 don't forget religion with the crosses and leper messiah
Fun fact: we had a Chihuahua named Casper that my hubs called the Master of Puppies and he would sing this song to the dog. We lost him in 2020 at 15.5 to old age but every time I hear this song, I get to think of him and smile. ❤
Riip
Master of puppies is also a. dog training business
Lol adorable, sorry he is gone 💔
May his soul rest in peace
Master of puppies I'm pulling your leash.
The album art was for Disposable Heroes. I seem to remember Lars saying it was going to be the title track, but they realized that Master was the stronger title.
There are very few perfect albums. This is one.
The lyrics are about addiction, but even the music itself plays into that.
The beginning is the frantic search for the high
The middle is the calming euphoria of the high (also appropriately the shortest part of song)
The last section is the spiraling frustration and angry come down and hunger for the next hit
love how it goes from the drug's perspective in the beginning to the addicts during the end when he's realizing drugs are killing him but wanting the next hit.. then the drugs are back in control again
The middle part for me represents sadness and powerlessness more than a happy thing!!! I don’t know
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
This is one of those "concept" albums that is only conceptual in the context that all the songs have a similar theme, as opposed to the traditional "concept" of having all the songs tell parts of an arcing story (each song serving as a chapter in a book).
This album's concept is, as other have probably said, about control, subservience, helplessness, despotism, enslavement, etc, the kind of control that usually ultimately kills you (either literally, metaphorically, or both), hence the puppet strings and grave markers on the album cover.
Some of the tracks (8 in total) :
Master Of Puppets = drug addiction
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) = mental illness (being institutionalized, which may or may not include the meds factor)
Disposable Heroes = military conformity and exploitation (as the title suggests)
Leper Messiah = religious oppression
Of course, Sanatarium is mis-named, as a sanitarium dealt primarily with infectious/incurable diseases, as a precursor to modern hospice care. It was _asylums_ where the mentally ill were institutionalized.
You can't pass up Orion, it's purely instrumental but it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music you'll ever hear.
you want to see something REALLY moving by them? check out their live concert in Russia in 1990, literally a million people (some say 1.8 Million) at this concert.....could you even imagine being a band and playing infront of that much humanity? simply insane and a beautiful thing all at once
That concert closed down the USSR and their we're troops n the crowd jamming with their uniforms..
1990??? 🤔 It was September 28, 1991.
@@jasonhearn768 91 corrected :D
Concert was the day I got married. Sept. 28, 1991 still married to this day. Coincidence?
You gotta react to the live version from seattle '89
Never ever pause while guitar solos
Literally the biggest metal sin
For God i gotta say the same
Yes , you are correct the mosh pit for them was brutal . My buddy was brave enough to attend to one of their concerts and promptly received a black eye . He still kept going to their later concerts even after the injury .
It was also the last album with original member Cliff Burton. RIP
She needs to react to lepar Messiah
Technically, Ron McGovney was the original bassist.
This track is actually about drug addiction, specifically cocaine, and how it takes over your life.
Also, this is why I love rock and metal. Every instrument is felt and it just hits, no matter the emotion they’re trying to express.
Actually it's specifically about heroin (which can also be snorted and chopped up on a mirror). Cliff got the inspiration for the song from observing an old bandmate. Also it has been said that the two solo's reflect the high that come from opioids, calm and melodic at first but when the high ends you're in a frantic race to get your next fix
@Maddog Jones Cocaine does the same thing while coming down. It's called the crash.
@@derekclark254 Yes the crash, meaning you are coming down from the high. Cocaine is an upper, it males you manic with energy. So the two solos should be reversed.
I love that you don't pause it too much. My only recomendation with Metallica songs is to listen to the lyrical videos so you can see the lyrics. Their lyrics are always deep and have a place in society still today. This is as close to a perfect song lyrically and musically at telling a story as you will see in music.
'Thinking man's metal', is how I refer to them.
This whole album is amazing. Put it on and let it play. Another song you should listen to is One. The most badass song imo from Metallica.
James Hetfield (vocals & guitar) said he wrote 'Master of Puppets' having experienced people in the scene snorting up lines of white powder and being too scared to try it... The album cover depicted the 'master' pulling strings... but the album also has a song called 'Disposable heroes' about how young soldiers are sacrificed to wars... and that was depicted w/ the crosses lined up like in a veterans' cemetery capped w/ a soldier's helmet and military tags.
However, the members of Metallica did fall to vices and substance abuse in their career... James Hetfield to alcohol abuse... lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and drummer Lars Ulrich to certain 'white powders'... and alcohol... and their bassist Jason Newsted (who joined in 1986 after the death of bassist Cliff Burton, who played on 'Master of Puppets') admitted to abusing prescription painkillers in the band before he quit the band in 2001.
As many have said, this is arguably their finest album. Disposable Heroes & Welcome Home (Sanitarium) are 2 more highly polished gems from this masterpiece. Enjoy your journey!
I would love to hear this for the 1st time again
Back in the mid/late 80's i used to sit in my parents car in the driveway for about 30-40 minutes every morning waiting on the bus to show up. Was a good way to keep warm in the winter, but also i'd jam to my favorite tunes to pass the time. I listened to this album every morning for my entire 8th grade year.
The first time I heard this, I was like 15, high, and drunk and all lit up in some basement with friends, and your reaction is exactly the same as mine was. The guitars. Songwriting. All of it. Welcome to Metallica. It changed my life.
Wow! I remember buying the cassette tape of this in 1986. Used a butter knife to remove my mothers older car stereo to install one with a cassette player. Great reaction! Great to see the younger generation appreciate this style of music.
I went through at least 3 MoP cassettes, same with Ride the Lightning. Mine just wore out.
You did the right choice! look up for the lyrics! it´s powerful!
Metallica in concert is an experience. Seen them multiple times and it's so high energy!
I remember I took this album to music class in the fifth grade or we could bring a music and listen to and everybody looked at me like I was freaking crazy when we were playing this song because metal was not in the main stream at the time
Probably one of their best songs. Thank you for the cool reaction.
I was 20 or 21 when this came out.
I reconnected with a friend from high school, and we literally spent a decade doing everything in this song.
Cocaine is a HELL of a drug. Finally got away from it. NEVER going back.
Great song!!!!
This song is so important for music. Some of the best guitar riffs ever recorded. Not by technicality, just by how damn powerful and cool they sound. Learning this song, getting inspired by this song, has been part of the journey of countless guitar players from all over the world. And probably will continue to be for many more years to come.
Quite Frankly One of the MOST RIFF WORTHY SONGS IN METAL HISTORY 😈🤘🤘
I like how the drums just before "fix me" sound like the sticks the puppet master holds.
This album has a special place in many of our hearts, this was the tour that we lost Cliff Burton. RIP Man.
Hey, just want to give you a little mic tip. The Blue yeti you are using has a mic in the front and back, not the top. Best to have it in cardiod and the Blue logo pointing towards you. Right now the way you have it, it's picking up sound at the desk which is why when you tap on the desk or put your elbows on your desk it's very audible.
The cover is related to the songs , the helmet is for disposable heroes the hand is for the master of puppets , the graves is because the all album is about destruction like battery or damage inc.
I can't believe you've never heard this before🤯
Saw this band live 4 or 5 times by the time I was your age. I'm old af lol
She needs to delve into a lot more! Just my opinion 😉
Here are some other great songs from legendary metal bands, that you could react to:
Metallica - One
Megadeth - Holy Wars
Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Judas Priest - Painkiller
🤟
Exodus Scar Spangled Banner or War Is My Shepherd
I remember when Metalica first made their appearance with Enter Sandman video on MTV. The world was turned upside down
The album cover is referencing two of the songs on the album. The puppet strings obviously referencing the title track, and the unnamed graves, the dog tags and army helmet referencing the song Disposable Heroes, a song about sending soldiers off to die in the front lines.
This was their masterpiece of heavy metal.
Twisting your mind ,, and smashing your dreams🤘🤘
The meaning is addiction control of any sort. Very symbolic
Im sure youve been told by now from all these comments the song is about addiction and HE is your MASTER . Lyrics like "chop your breakfast on a mirror " . Cocaine , pills etc... "i will occupy , i will help you die " and " taste me you will see , more is all you need " . Addiction is no joke . Ive lost easily 50 friends and or acquaintances over the last 20 years . Mainly to heroin/fent . Crazy shit . Luckily i escaped and now 4 and half years clean except some beers ! lol
The album cover... listen to Disposable Heroes from this album.
This song is talking about the power of addiction. I wish you would've been around back then. What a time!
Imagine being in Baghdad on Monday and then watching these guys in TX on Friday the same week
A TOTAL MASTERPIECE ALBUM!!! ABSOLUFUKINLUTLY ICONS TODAY AND THIS BAND INFLUENCED EVERY FREAKIN' METAL BAND!!!!
Essential listening! Required for any collection!
I love that you "get it"! You really understand what musicians are trying to say through their music! I love that. Most reaction channels cant connect those dots.
Killer album. Bangers front to back.
The album cover: It is a composite and has aspects of different songs on the album combined into it.
These guys made it with no radio play, no MTV play in the 80's. They didn't become mainstream until the black album.
Battery, Sanitarium,Disposable Heroes, and Orion(Instrumental) are all great songs on this album. Be sure to check out Fade To Black and Creeping Death on the Ride the Lightning album🤘🤪🤘
Love your hair and reactions!
The album cover is a mashup of several songs. Battery, as in military Battery, along with Disposable Heroes is a representation of the crosses. The Hands and the strings are for Master of Puppets, and the red color is for Orion, as in Orion's Belt. Damage Inc, could be included with the military aspect. This album deals with a lot of being controlled and fighting out against it. MOP is a strong focus on drug addiction. Orion is my favorite Metallica song. It's an instrumental. My favorite album is ...And Justice for All. But this album is solid with every song being it's own masterpiece.
UMMM I have listened to this since the day it came out, battery is about domestic violence, master is about drugs, disposable is about how we treat our heroes, etc etc
Battery isn't about war or DV, Battery is the name of a street in san Francisco where Metallica used to play at a night club in their early years the song is about the band and their fans coming together to release their pent up aggression via thrash metal
Basically, this song in particular is talking about drug addiction, especially considering there's references to drug use in the lyrics such as the line:
Pain Monopoly, Ritual Misery
Chop Your Breakfast On A Mirror
( A reference to to Cocaine used)
I have the picture disc of this NOW.
Masterpiece. This and Ride the lightning are exceptional GENIUS.
- C
130mph+, matt black open piped V8 SD1 on the M50 at night and my Big Brother driving throws this in tape deck...i was 14, best day ever!!
The song “disposable heroes” is about soldiers and their fate. That’s the tie in to part of the album cover. They’ve actually done a few songs in that vein
The song is about drug addiction. The line “chop your breakfast on a mirror” is a reference to cutting lines of cocaine on a mirror to snort. The guitar sounds remind me of how a person’s life spirals out of control the longer the addiction goes on.
What a tune, takes me straight back to high school
My favorite song off master of puppets
I've been there, you just gotta ride that wave mama
I recently got out of prison. I did 6yrs on a 7. Prison is another world. Most of my time was spent on Mark W. Stiles unit in Beaumont Tx. The devil roamed around and had many inmates kill themselves ( drugs,depression, feeling guilt ) I dont wanna say how many took their lifes( young guys) but it was over like 100 inmates. I attended church on and off. The Hope Chapel it was called put on a two part play by inmates on the real situations that happened. We came together and prayed including TDCJ staff,inmates,officers,medical staff and the whole prison and i think a whole year went by and there was not one suicide. Im blessed to making it out of that dungeon. I been out for almost a month and doing very good with God's help. The reason i say this is because at the end of the play the inmates did this song 🎵 and it souned exactly like Metallica. I was commenting on other video while this one starting playing
This song has sooooo many bars
One of my favorite bands of all time 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
Cool fact, in Stranger Things, Joseph Quinn, the guy that played Eddie Munson, actually learned to play the lead guitar part, solo included, and actually got to play it with Metallica.
Its about drug addiction. The "Master" is your drug of choice. When the instrumental changes, if you listen to the lyrics and the fading of the word master, is a metaphor for getting stoned, then it transitiona back which is the "crashing" effect.
One of if not the best metal album ever
Love you youngster's digging an era where they made Thier own music! We had the same expression on our faces when we heard it the first time too! Keep rocking kids!
The meaning of the Song Master of puppets is about Addiction to drugs and the drug being the puppet master of the addict. The Album cover likely has more to do with the song Disposable heroes which is on the same album. However there are strong themes on most songs on the album about being a slave to something sush as Drugs, Mental illnes, Rage, Religion, The Military etc
While the album is called Master of Puppets the cover represents the song Disposable Heroes
Love the entire album and my go to sesh song is Welcome Home🤘☁️☁️☁️
I remember my first time hearing this song. I was given the album when I helped my someone into a house they bought and the cd had been left behind in the garage. I brought it home, but I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it so I listened to “Orion” first and I was absolutely blown away. So I listened to the rest of the album and I loved it. I think my favorite song besides “Master” is “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”
most iconic metal song of all time? for sure one of them..
That special song you talked about....for me that was Disposable Heroes. My dad picked up a cassette of MoP somewhere without a case. So I plugged it in and (unknowingly) played side B. My musical world would never be the same, I was hooked.
The Master is Addiction.
Each verse is a chemical.
Alcohol, Cocaine, and Heroine.
The music follows the cycle of Addiction.
Oh yea the mosh is the whole stadium floor!
When the instrumental intro riff comes back in for a second time after the first chorus 🔥
One thing i love about how this song was structured is that a third stanza hits you when you least expect a third stanza........and done very masterfully. Same with "Seek and Destroy", the very first Metallica song i learned to play on the guitar Tabletures.
If you recall the line" Cut your breakfast on a mirror:...It's a reference to cocaine addiction. The master in the song is drugs. It's a warning song against drug abusee and addiction.
This is my first time seeing one of your reactions and Ive got to say, I picked a great one. This song is one of, if not the greatest metal songs of all time and cool to see you are enjoying it. That being said Im going to subscribe to your channel...keep up the old school metal!!
Song is a masterpiece lyrics, music all of it. Hardcore at first guy wanting his fix, mellows out showing he got his fix then gets crazy again showing addicts mental state needed more
Creeping death should be your next metallica reaction🔥🤘
This is first Metal song I heard when I was in High school then I was hooked on Metal
this is the best song of metallica ever.
NEVER PAUSE DURING THE SOLO!!!!!!!
Moscow '91 INSANE!
The part about breakfast on a mirror says it all.
Carve your breakfast on a mirror is one of the best lines in the song
Fun fact:
I love it!
I've been lucky enough to see Metallica live six different times it's always an amazing show
Sanitarium (Welcome Home) is also one of Metallica's best and I would love to see your reaction to that. I would recommend that if/when you react to One, do it in two different ways, first a lyric video, then the official music video. Doing it that way from what I have seen from most reactors is the best way, the official video can be overwhelming with the song if your not used to the song. Just what I hope is helpful advice based on what I have seen from many reactors.
Sanitarium please let me bee!!!
Yeaah the Downpick of james Hetfield is so awesome before solo 🤯❤
I'm biggest fan of you keep up the good work
The song is written from the perspective of the drug.
It's in 3 parts. 1- craving/needing the high. 2- (where the change-up happens) is the high setting in and the euphoric feeling it gives. 3- once the high is gone you're back to needing/craving it again.
It describes the destructive loop people get trapped in during addiction.
Your facial expressions on the cover of your videos cracks me up lol!
