Did you notice how y’all didn’t interrupt the song even one time to discuss it? It’s just that type of song. You don’t interrupt Master of Puppets! This was really beautiful to see you two just take the tune in, in its entirety, without feeling any need to break into it. That’s why you’re the best at this!
Wow amber. I’m amazed at the depth of your understanding of the lyrics. You totally get it. A lot of people react to this and even hearing the line “chop your breakfast on a mirror” they miss the meaning entirely. Major Kudos to you and J for reacting to this. Oh and for J. Dunno if you saw but AC/DC is charting on billboard again. People are buying album Highway to Hell like crazy. Rock/metal ALWAYS comes back around.
Great reaction guys. I worked security at the stage when they were relatively unknown opening for Ozzy (Ultimate Sin Tour) and they absolutely killed it. People were standing there mouths open stunned. Never forget it!
I had tickets for that tour, and by the time they came around, Metallica was off on their own and I had to sit through Queensryche. They were ok, but they were not Metallica.
There are albums that people lable a "Masterpiece" and through all my years of listening to music this is one of the very few that I can actually say is truly a Masterpiece.
Believe it or not, this album is officially in the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry as of 2015, which means it was determined by the federal government to be preserved for all time because of its historical significance. It is the first metal album to be given this distinction. When “Master of Puppets” was released, it sold half a million copies with almost no commercial airplay, no music videos, and no mainstream promotion. Its success was 100% an organic product of fans. I personally think it is their best album, followed closely by Kill Em All (their first album) and I love that this received that type of recognition. Every song on the album is thought provoking and the band was only in their mid-20s when it was released to put things into perspective.
I personally believe that And Justice For All should be in there too. I mean Blackened, Eye of the Beholder, One, as well as the title track. I mean c'mon
What I find truly refreshing (and amazing) is that even though I've heard this song before, when I see your reactions, it is like I am opening my mind and senses once again and hearing something fresh and new. Thanks again for "getting it right". Peace.
That's exactly why I watch music reaction channels. I almost always learn something new about a song I've known and loved forever. I also lovelovelove seeing people discover and enjoy our generations music, which is the best ... 😉 Sometimes, I wonder about when I'm old, what are people gonna think seeing an 80 yr.old throwin' down Metallica?? ... 😮😮 😊😊
@@sarahdixon1943 I spoke to a "young man" yesterday who said he loved albums on vinyl. I assumed he meant "our" music like Lead Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. I asked him if he had any albums by those groups and he gave me a blank stare and said, "Who are they"? I helped him with his tax issue and sent him on his way. I feel so OLD now! LoL.
Just the fact that they've been doing music reactions for years, and today was the first time hearing Metallica's best song. We really dropped the ball!
You guys listened to this song the way it is meant to be. No pauses. Just straight listening and rocking out. Feeling every emotion and epic instrumentals. This was awesome. Love ya guys.
Drugs are a heavy and hard thing to kick. It took me a long time and with the help of my wife I am sober for 31 yrs now. This song is great look into what the addict feels. Be you own master of your life.
Now this is Metallica! They put it all out there on this album, and no one else was achieving this sound in 1986. They blew our minds, built a huge fan base and changed the metal scene! All without ZERO radio play and ZERO MTV airplay. I remember Metallica being featured in all the metal magazines, their albums were selling out in the record stores, and they toured everywhere. It wasn’t until their Black album in 1991 when they started to achieve real commercial success.
Congrats Jay and Amber! You are the first reactors to this song that nailed the meaning of the song completely. You even understood the slow part. BTW, I'm 64 years old and will head bang and hair whip (my hair is long) to this song every time. 🤘
Now imagine being in an arena with twenty thousand other Metallica fans. Every single person chanting ‘Master! Master!’ at the top of their lungs. It’s almost a religious experience.
I love it when they play Creeping Death at the shows and right before the "Die, by my hand, I creep across the land, killing first born man" line everyone in the audience is shouting "Die, Die, Die" at the top of their lungs!🤘
@@wrathchylde9539 For real...that's my favorite tune of theirs...and just what you described, I experienced live in Seattle in the early 90s at the outdoor amphitheater at the Seattle Center, at night, with a full moon...it was chilling.
I can imagine it. Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan. The Castle of Charlevoix in Charlevoix, Michigan. Irvine Meadows Amp in Irvine, Ca. The LA Coliseum in LA. The Forum in Inglewood, Ca. A top 5 concert in my book. Metallica was in their prime and SHREDDIN' back in the day!
Seen them on this tour back in the mid 80's. So glad I got to see Cliff live. Metallica is one of my Top 2 favorite Bands of all time. Seen them 22 times.
It's great that you have established the pattern of pausing a song mid-way. Because now, when you listen straight through uninterrupted, we all know you really got into it. It is so much fun sharing an experience with someone who can appreciate it.
Nothing sounded like early Metallica. I love James' raw higher tone screamsinging. He's matured into more traditional singing, most likely protecting his instrument but that younger hungry energy was electric.❤
I'm so glad that you listened to this without pausing it and interrupting. It has to be listened to in its entirety and just soak up the different layers in the track. Brilliant.
This is about addiction and my favorite line is "Chop your breakfast on a mirror". Early Metallica songs I like include "Battery" and "Seek and Destroy". I love the instrumental "Orion" from the Master of Puppets album. I saw them live in Melbourne, Australia and of course - they kicked butt. ❣
Me too, but also besides, the unforgiven (first song), the day that never comes, creeping death, orion, , the call of ktulu, one! I like that metallica, that feel, that structure, dynamics, melodic sense, power, transitions…. Because iron maiden is my favorite band and artists and musicians ever, and i know the big influence!
One of the reasons this song is so good is the way they transition from the soft melodic middle section back into the heavy sound, which then leads double-time into the solo. A lot of 80s thrash songs have a melodic middle section that doesn't really seem connected to the rest of the song, but this one does it right.
So intense you guys didn't pause the song even once! So cool seeing Jay bobbing his head to the raw power and Amber just losing herself in the atmosphere and the lyrics! This was their last album with their bassist Cliff Burton as he would be killed in a tour bus accident shortly after. Excellent reaction, guys! 🤘🤘
Wow, Amber was spot on about what the song was mainly about. Good job, girl! This is one of my favorite Metallica songs, and to hear the band play it live is one heck of an experience. I saw them again live last year when they were on tour, and they still got it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
❤❤❤❤I was fortunate enough to see Ozzy and Metallica in concert in Tucson Arizona 1984( I was in junior high school lol) best concert of my life I've seen many hair bands since then in those following 20 years but nothing compares to that Ozzy and Metallica concert.
I was 8 when this came out, jamming this album constantly on cassette tape, already had Kill ‘em All before this. Loved Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and many more as an adolescent.
ROB SQUAD, AMBER, YOUR ABILITY TO INTERPRET SONG LYRICS HAS EITHER BEEN A NATURAL GIFT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OR YOU HAVE REALLY GROWN IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO SO!! EITHER WAY IT IS QUITE AMAZING AND FRANKLY FUN TO WATCH AND 99.9% OF THE TIMES YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯!! ❤❤❤❤❤
YES! Love that they finally got to this one. Amber, if you're looking for the 'soldier helmet reference', then check out "Disposable Heroes" on the same album.
Saw Metallica in concert in the late 90's and let me tell you, when you think of rockin' your socks off and blowing your mind...That's exactly what they did!
Metal is an incredibly vast and deep genre, where masterpieces are hidden deep within obscurity to be heard by very few. There is so much great metal that is extremely obscure and buried. These first four albums by the most famous and well known metal band of all time stand shoulder to shoulder with the absolute peak of the underground. A rare example of the best rising to the top in music.
Oh yes, this is the one we've been asking for. (Plus Fade To Black). I think J & A are now ready for Megadeth "Holy Wars" and Suicidal Tendencies "Trip At The Brain".
First time I think Jay didn't hit the pause button... Glad you guys could experience that. Now imagine it's 1986 (i was 15) and hearing this for the 1st time... Just like you guys, it blew me away
Rob Squad,you two are awesome.Its cool to see the two of you jamming to some of the greatest music of my time.I still jam on it today @ 60 years old.My opinion ,we had the best music ever.70s-80s
You just listened to a damn masterpiece. One the greatest thrash metal songs hands down. And that solo, holy shit man. Still get goosebumps when solo drops and can't sit still when you have it turned up to 10 lol. Metallica family for life🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I bought that Metallica album when it first came out and have listened to it a million times since then. I can honestly say, I've never heard that song described so eloquently. You caught the meaning of the lyrics on the first go around, and you genuinely seemed to be under the spell of the song, as you described later on. What an awesome reaction video! I've been watching you two for months now and have caught up with ALL of your video reactions to date, and this is truly one of my favorites now. :)
I remember hearing this first time. bought the record and laid on my bedroom floor listening. I didn't understand it...off time signatures...aggressive...sounded crazy, but I loved the sound. A metalhead was born that day in 1986.
Watch their recent tribute to Elton John and Bernie Taupin. They played Funeral for a Friend at the Gershwin Prize Award ceremony. And don’t forget this song was just featured in season 4 of Stranger Things.
iconic line...pain monopoly, ritual misery, chop your breakfast on a mirror. Tells you exactly what you need to know about the song. Great reaction. Love watching your reactions. You REALLY need to do Fade to Black, Orion, Leper Messiah, and then Disposable Heroes. Those are epic songs you haven't hit on yet.
That full sound is the work of producer Flemming Rasmussen in Copenhagen. Metallica has had many studio producers and many of their studio recording adventures are documented here on TH-cam. Give em a watch. It’s interesting to see how an album is pieced together.
You realize you guys didn’t pause this song once during the reaction… that’s the power of the music
In a trance from the beginning... love it... Metallica FAN4LIFE🤘🏽😎
Came here to say this lol.😂
I noticed that, too!! They listened to it all the way through!
its the master of puppets :P
Amber got totally lost in the music
Proof of how good this song is the fact they didn't pause it.
Part 1: Drug (Master) talking to addict.
Part2: Addict finally gets their high. (Soft beautiful moment)
Part3: Addict comes off high and begs for their fix (Aggressive solo)
Part4: Cycle repeats
Great explanation!
Exactly!
One of the most anti-drug metal songs ever!
Thank you for that explanation! It makes complete sense now.
Rinse and repeat.
Did you notice how y’all didn’t interrupt the song even one time to discuss it? It’s just that type of song. You don’t interrupt Master of Puppets! This was really beautiful to see you two just take the tune in, in its entirety, without feeling any need to break into it. That’s why you’re the best at this!
I remember when Jay didnt even like rock music, him listening to Thunderstruck for the first time back in the day, Look how far he's come!!🤘🤘
He’s a full on headbanger!
Right!
Yeah who was the TH-camr who got him into it? He used to react to music a long time ago too, then he vanished.
@@DonnaCPunkRome reactions!

That would be an amazing experience! I enjoy watching live videos of Metallica from about 1985 through 1991 or so; absolutely unreal.
I had tickets for that tour, and by the time they came around, Metallica was off on their own and I had to sit through Queensryche. They were ok, but they were not Metallica.
this is 1986, this is the greatest album they ever made, first song to last song, the best.
AGREED!
I think their best song is Fade to Black
Slayer- Reign in Blood 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Ride The Lightning for a lot of us!!!
My parents loathed when I got this, had a small record player, big speaker, and this was on while I was awake. Wore three vinyl's out :D
There are albums that people lable a "Masterpiece" and through all my years of listening to music this is one of the very few that I can actually say is truly a Masterpiece.
This is commonly said to be their best song. It's hard to top this one.
That's a matter of opinion. They have many songs which are imo equal if not better.
MoP 1a Justice 1b
I choose One.. but this is good too.
How would you rank "The Thing That Should Not Be" ?
One is my favorite. Has been since 1990 when I started listening to them. This is a close second though.
Believe it or not, this album is officially in the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry as of 2015, which means it was determined by the federal government to be preserved for all time because of its historical significance.

Already I want to bear your children ;)
@@debbiehoyt9018..what's that ?

Imagine hearing Master of Puppets for the first time in 2024... :D
Right!!🤣🤣😢😢
I've always wondered, have reactors lived on deserted islands for decades?😂
In a way….I envy them.
I couldn't even imagine.
I dunno, listening to it for the first time back in '86, when it first came out, was pretty damn amazing.

Well Deserved too!! 🤘🤘
It’s about time!!!! I’ve been waiting forever for you to react to this banger! My favorite Metallica song. It’s next level! You guys are amazing!
Metallica at their finest. Just love her point of view of this master piece.

It is a Masterpiece. The music, the lyrics, the meaning, the feelings it gives. Perfection!
My favorite song is Welcome Home ( Sanitarium) from Metallica.
Great one! Think mine is Disposable Heroes from Master of Puppets...
Can't recall them reacting to it, but if not.. they need to
Drugs are a heavy and hard thing to kick. It took me a long time and with the help of my wife I am sober for 31 yrs now. This song is great look into what the addict feels. Be you own master of your life.
They love it too much to pause . This is great !
I was thinking the same thing. I can't remember the last time they did that
So mesmerized that they forgot they are doing a reaction channel 😁... Metallica FAN4LIFE🤘🏽😎

I was lucky enough to grow up in a town with a metal radio station and they played the heck out of Metallica. Great times
@@GentleGiantJason That’s awesome. Metallica didn’t get radio play in my city until the And Justice for Album. Even that was minimal.
@@johnkonertz8042 Well, it was implied when I stated “commercial success”. 😬
Really, they started getting mainstream notice with ...And Justice For All, mostly because of "One".
I must say I love seeing that metal head smile creep onto Amber's face!! 😊
Wore this cassette out in 1986, glad you are finally appreciating this masterpiece almost 40 years later.
Congrats Jay and Amber! You are the first reactors to this song that nailed the meaning of the song completely. You even understood the slow part. BTW, I'm 64 years old and will head bang and hair whip (my hair is long) to this song every time. 🤘
You mean Amber. I don't think Jay was listening to the words lol
@@blitz3643 Welllll....yeah. But I was trying to be kind lol. Besides, who can blame Jay for rocking out?
64 years old and still have hair? hahaha 👍
I love it when Amber deconstructs the meaning of a song for Jay.
Third and final album with the late great Cliff Burton. Metallica was never the same after his loss.
A big duh statement.
It changed them forever. RIP Cliff.
I never really liked much after in justice. Yes I know cliff was dead, but he worked that album pre recording if I am not mistaken
@@mwfmtnman It's hard to find fault with the black album, but I know what you mean. For me, everything is pre- and post-And Justice for All.

he damaged his voice singing like that improperly sadly. He couldn't do it again if he wanted to.
I'm so glad that you listened to this without pausing it and interrupting. It has to be listened to in its entirety and just soak up the different layers in the track. Brilliant.
Next up by Metallica,For Whom The Bell Tolls!😎
Orion has to be next, no lyrics but absolutely the greatest Metallica song IMHO.
ABSOLUTELY!!! A must...
Call of ktulu!!!

This entire album is FIRE, a landmark record for a reason! Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is a MUST HEAR!
This is typically considered the Zenith of metal. This is what every metal album strives to be. It is basically the standard.
Thrash metal. Number of the Beast, Paranoid, and Black Sabbath are considered the peak of British heavy metal.
Also rust in peace
@@captokyothe Best by far 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Long Live EDDIE " FREAKING" MUNSON!!!!!
Love the fact he actually plays guitar got one autographed by the band and he jammed with them. Man I was friggin jealous
greatest Metal song and Metal Album of all time
If you like this one, the album opener, "Battery", might be right up your alley.
The one that talks about military on this album is Disposable Heroes and it's nonstop intensity! I definitely recommend it!
Wow, Amber was spot on about what the song was mainly about. Good job, girl! This is one of my favorite Metallica songs, and to hear the band play it live is one heck of an experience. I saw them again live last year when they were on tour, and they still got it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I was 15 and totally agree
I was 8 when this came out, jamming this album constantly on cassette tape, already had Kill ‘em All before this. Loved Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and many more as an adolescent.
we sure did get some stuff when we were that age didn't we?
Funny. I was 16 when I discovered Metallica but that was in 2009.
“I’m a fan of Metallica” doesn’t really carry weight until the person has heard, and appreciated, Master of Puppets. Great reaction, you two.
ROB SQUAD, AMBER, YOUR ABILITY TO INTERPRET SONG LYRICS HAS EITHER BEEN A NATURAL GIFT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OR YOU HAVE REALLY GROWN IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO SO!! EITHER WAY IT IS QUITE AMAZING AND FRANKLY FUN TO WATCH AND 99.9% OF THE TIMES YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯!!

YES! Love that they finally got to this one.
Amber, if you're looking for the 'soldier helmet reference', then check out "Disposable Heroes" on the same album.

*chef's kiss* Not only is this Metallica's Magnum Opus, but it's also pop culture's. Terrific reaction! I don't think J stopped it once!
RIP EDDIE!!
Most. Metal. Concert. Ever!!
Eddie the head
It’s a beautiful work of art
I've known Kirk Hammett since he was in Exodus. I remember when Metallica called and asked him to leave Exodus and join them. Great choice
...for Exodus. hahah, j/k, couldn't resist
Speaking of Exodus, I highly recommend Toxic Waltz. An excellent how to guide of moshing 😅
You and him still close friends? Bet you've got some great stories you could share.
Master of Puppets and One are my top 2 Metallica songs. Can't decide because they're both so different, but love me some Metallica 🫶💜
Saw Metallica in concert in the late 90's and let me tell you, when you think of rockin' your socks off and blowing your mind...That's exactly what they did!
You finally did it!
I've been waiting for this review, and I'm excited because I know you won't be disappointed.
There’s a reason this album was put in the national archives. It was and still is bulletproof
THIS is ,my favorite Metallica song. You did it justice. Awesime reaction. You didn't even pause it midway!
Their best song on their best album. Also RIP Cliff Burton 😭
Blows my mind this song will be 40 yrs old in 2 yrs!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Metallica's #1 Song, & Album. Considered the #1 Heavy Metal/Thrash Metal Album of all time. 🤘🏽🤙🏽🎸🎸🎸 🥁 🎤 🎙 💯

Oh yes, this is the one we've been asking for. (Plus Fade To Black).

Suicidal Tendencies "Trip At The Brain".

No pause-sign of true appreciation
I remember hearing this first time. bought the record and laid on my bedroom floor listening. I didn't understand it...off time signatures...aggressive...sounded crazy, but I loved the sound. A metalhead was born that day in 1986.
My first concert was this tour in '86! They were the opener for Ozzy! 🤘
Probably the greatest Metal song ever written
Brings back great memories of the Monsters of Rock concert in 1988! Van Halen,Dokken,Kingdom Come,Scorpions,and Metallica!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is when Metallica took over the World!!
Metallica on the Master Tour was opening for Ozzy in the United States. The Black Album is when Metallica became the biggest band in the world.
I remember how big Metallica was back then and that's without any radio time.
I remember Justice as the time when they truly took over. The video for One is when non-metal fans like myself discovered them.
Note that the average age of the band's members when they composed this masterpiece was just 22 years old. Outrageous!!!
Watch their recent tribute to Elton John and Bernie Taupin. They played Funeral for a Friend at the Gershwin Prize Award ceremony. And don’t forget this song was just featured in season 4 of Stranger Things.
@raymondcarver476 it is one of the best tributes I’ve seen.

Thanks, this was a great share
iconic line...pain monopoly, ritual misery, chop your breakfast on a mirror. Tells you exactly what you need to know about the song.
Great reaction. Love watching your reactions. You REALLY need to do Fade to Black, Orion, Leper Messiah, and then Disposable Heroes. Those are epic songs you haven't hit on yet.
Perhaps the greatest Metal Album ever.
I'm not sure Amber didn't nail the embodiment, essence and message of that song almost perfectly.
🤘😎
Absolutely...no question.
No question about it
The greatest metal album. The only metal album deemed culturally significant in the library of congress. MASTERPIECE.
Superb album and definitely one of the best ever, just not the best. Too many I’d put over this one, but it’s my personal favorite Metallica album.
My daughter’s fave Metallica song. Raising them right!!!
Kirk Hammett is a guitar GOD
This song live is absolutely sick- one of my faves just for audience participation
Imagine Dave Mustine playing the lead? What would've he done with it?
That full sound is the work of producer Flemming Rasmussen in Copenhagen. Metallica has had many studio producers and many of their studio recording adventures are documented here on TH-cam. Give em a watch. It’s interesting to see how an album is pieced together.
Y'all need to react to every song on this album all are outstanding !
80's Metal Goodness!
