The actual song starts at around 2:48. The intro is from a song called To Live Is To Die, which they did to honor Cliff Burton, their previous bassist. He died in a bus accident while Metallica was on tour for the Master Of Puppets album in Sweden.
Nope.. To live is too die is the last song written by cliff burton. The voice and poem said in this song is cliff's voice. 😉 Ps: but this is the first time, they began to play it live. (a part of the song of course).
@@ZDEVIL74 The voice reading the poem in To Live Is To Die is James. And only the last two lines of the poem were written by Cliff. Also, whilst Cliff did write the riffs used in the song (or most of them), the riffs were arranged into the song by James and Lars as a tribute to Cliff as the OP pointed out.
@@ZDEVIL74 what are you saying nope to? Because everything on this comment was an actual fact. The only nope here is you, saying that cliffs voice was reciting the poem, and it is a fact that what you said is false.
@@UltraViolent21im sorry but cliff brought the playing, jason brought the demonic backing vocals and stage presence and rob brings crabwalking. he is the worst metallica bassist by a wide margin
YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!! An amazing performance w them at their formidable power height - Cliff was such an integral part of their foundation ..... gotta give Jason his props though his live attitude and performance amps me up !!! this song still gets me live, such insane power !!!
@@Shawn-mo6dh not worried about skill as much as what he brought to them emotionally and passion wise - his energy was massive and he gave all himself to us on stage !! They wouldn’t be who they are w/o the 3 of em for sure !!
@@GunnerSG 🤔 they wouldn't be who they are without Cliff. They would already be legends Rob or no Rob and they could have found better Bass players then Jason
I was at this concert!!! It was bad ass. First discovered Metallica on my 13th birthday. My sister took me to Tower records and said, "Pick out whatever you want. I chose Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies and it was cheap, so she said get something else and I went to this small section that was labeled heavy metal (had just recently got Judas Priest Unleashed in the East...and wanted something similar) looked at the name Metallica and thought this sounds hard. So I got Ride the Lightning and took it home and blew my mind
@@martindoesntcare8398 Tower was massive at the time. Pretty sure a lot of us got our first Metallica albums in the 80s and 90s from tower. It was THE place to go
Ahhhh buddy sounds like I'm younger than you but ride!!!!! My first so g was wherever I may roam bought it instantly at the store coz it was playing went to school next day and told my buddy who said ok I'll bring u Metallica tomorrow and she brought ride..... been my favorite band for 31 years since
Told you; Metallica is THE rabbit hole in all music….you have no idea of what otherworldly above and beyond performances these guys will give you over the coming weeks / months…..you will get addicted to them 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….this set was a three hours gig….
Not to mention many non-metal listeners hear metallica, appreciate metal and eventually become metal heads. This band opens people up to the genre in general, and its a damn good rabbit hole aint it
This song was written about drug addiction, the interlude in the middle is meant to invoke the feeling of an addict. The calm part is the euphoric high and then the aggressive solo afterwards is the comedown.
Not just drug addiction, Although the song does revolve around cocaine a person can be a puppet to anything and any addiction..Sex.. Alcohol..Gambling..etc..
@@timl8302 "Chop your breakfast on a mirror" refers to Cocaine.. "Veins that pump with fear..sucking darkest clear" refers to heroin, that's how I perceive it, but..the song can refer to any of type addiction that has control over any individual ..Heroin,Alcohol, Cigarettes,Cocaine,Gambling,Master of Puppets.
Exactly!! I hated cocaine but loved making heroin from the pure Opium What a rush... To anyone who ever lived under the control of their Master of Puppets, controlled by Addiction There is hope You can quit It *WILL* HURT But, it gets better... kick it's ass away! Life can burn BRIGHTER after throwing the MASTER away
The TO LIVE IS TO DIE Intro = Like the gentle stirring of a sweet romance, with the love notes and candlelight dinners, leading up to that special moment when love will be made... When MASTER kicks in = The ass-slapping, hair-pulling, headboard banging animal sëx that results instead. Kathryn exclaiming "Oh GOD! YES! Get it!" just drives that analogy home hard, lol. ;-D
This was Metallica's greatest live performance ever, IMO. James' vocal fry and Jason's crushing bass really give the songs the power that are essential for true metal. Please listen to Pantera, anything by them really, but I'm Broken and Primal Concrete Sledge stand out in my head right now. Those guys really took metal in the direction of where it is now. Good reaction keep'em coming.
I was at that show. It was insane. One of the best concerts I have ever been to. About his vocals in this one: This performance was 3 years after the album was recorded, and James had started working more on expanding his vocal style by this point.
That was an amazing performance. I saw them live back in the early 90's. It was the Black album tour. They went a million miles an hour the whole show. Unreal!
I was at the Justice tour in 1989 and it was probably the most insane Metallica concert I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen them well over a dozen times live, but that concert in 1989 was peak speed, peak performance and just peak insanity. They almost had to stop the show because people were ripping off their seat bottoms and throwing them down from the upper seats. Combine that with all of the pyrotechnics on stage, including the crazy introduction to One and the destruction of the “Doris” statue (Blindfolded lady Justice), and it was just pure adrenaline insanity. My favorite concert of theirs, only rivaled by when I brought my father to his first ever concert (not just first Metallica, but first concert ever) because I also got to meet the band that day. My father is gone now, so that concert has a special place in my heart. However, nothing has rivaled the energy of the 1989 Justice tour.
Ive had the pleasure of see them live 3 times. They NEVER disappoint. Please react to 'Nothing Else Matters'. So you can truly see the range they have.
Three Metallica must see videos One - official video (lots of emotions) Enter Sandman - Moscow (live -over a million in attendance) Seek and Destroy - Quebec (live - fun video)
Peak prime Metallica. Music literally does not get any better. This band needs to be seen live by every human ever it's that damn good. I've been to 3 concert
Ah, this makes me feel 13 again, when I got this vhs from a friend, fell in love with metal music back then... You seemed to enjoy it too, glowing eyes, huge smile and stuff :D Thank you!!!!!!!
Performing music is like sport; the passion and adrenalin drive you to keep going. You can deal with the pain later. The feeling of peforming like that with a band is incredible.
I have been so fortunate as to have been to see Metallica live four times, and the way they bounce the singing of this song back and forth between themselves and the audience is so friggin awesome, gets me every time!!!
Your reactions are so fun!!! Love your enthusiasm for this great stuff! What a great new adventure to be on!!! Do April Wine "Roller" for me... I beg of you....
This concert is still the best live thing Metallica has ever put out. I bought it in the original box set back in the early 90s, and I wore that tape out.
I still have that box with the audio and video cassettes I bought the DVD/CD combo from Amazon a few years ago and it’s a lot cheaper than the initial box was.
Saw them on this tour at Redrocks in CO. Unforgettable! Have seen them throughout the years but that one was special! Great Channel. Lots of great bands to discover.
What makes this exact live performance is Jason's intro playing a part of to live is to die and James and Kirk joins him then they jamming and start playing master of puppets in a very energetic and beastful manner
This is the greatest song of all time imo. Just musically and the melodies with meaning. It takes you on a journey through drug addiction with the drug being your master and controlling you like a puppet. When the song slows down with the beautiful melody, that is the high of the drug. As it starts to pick up, that's the withdrawal and and drug addiction creeping back up on you and that you are craving more. When he says fix me before the solo, he is saying give me more. I want more drugs. Lyrically and musically, this is a masterpiece.
I was at this concert. You’re not kidding about how it felt to be there and feel the performance in person. Seriously one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!
I've seen Metallica live and seen them play this live. This is one of a small handful of songs I've seen performed live in my 25 years of going to concerts where I completely blew out my voice screaming "MASTER!!!" as loud as I could. I was far from the only one too.
I was at the opening night of this tour in Long Beach, and it was the greatest thing I've ever seen. I bought 4th row center tickets for me and my friend, but the floor seating was all folding chairs. Within minutes of the show starting, the chairs had all been thrown aside and people were just doing whatever they wanted. Me and my friend pushed our way to the front fence and stayed there about halfway between James and Jason the whole night. Fucking great show.
Thrash metal fucking rules. It's so powerful and emotional. Check out top picks from the Big Four of Thrash metal...Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. They all have signature pieces. You just saw Master of Puppets, anyone who says it's not the top thrash song, and within the top 3 metal songs ever is as high as a kite. Might I suggest Anthrax's WHO CARES WINS...my favorite (biased as an ex NY-er). Megadeth's HOLY WARS...is beyond comprehension, a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of genius, and the studio video hits so goddamn hard. And for an overdose of speed/thrash, try Slayer's WAR ENSEMBLE...an insane blending of speed and darkness, and ya get a little history lesson too! Keep moshing, girl. Watching/listening to you gave ME goosebumps! Ya need to get a set of wireless earbuds, and do a standing up reaction video, so you can mosh around the room and smash stuff!
This song solidified the sound and performance level people came to expect from them, along with other songs they did in this Era. I always thought it was unrealistic to expect them to maintain that level of intensity indefinitely. So when the black album came out, I didn't much care for enter sandman, but they still had some good songs, and they have had other more mellow tunes as well. But they still had some good intense stuff as well, spit out the bone for example. But yeah, everything they have done has been quality music.
YESSSS!!! This entire concert is Fire! 🔥😍 Yes, the beginning of this is part of another song, which was the last calibration from their bassist Cliff Burton, which is called "To Live is to Die" his last piece of music he helped write before their tour bus crashed and took his life. That's why you see them sitting and playing, and there's a space between them and a spotlight on that empty space, as if he's sitting there with them playing. I believe not 100% sure that they called it "Cliff day". Not 100% percent, but during that concert, some fans had a banner saying that. Anyways, Awesome reaction! Anything from this Concert is Fire! 🔥 I've been very fortunate to have seen them 7x including 88,89,90,91, 94, 98 and 2001. EXCELLENT LIVE!! 🎼❤️🔥😍🎸💥
That video is terrible, just a bunch of redundant crap played over an otherwise great song. They even put pointless movie dialogue over the solos for crying out loud.
the transition from To Live Is To Die to Master Of Puppets is ... just awesome. edit: also it would be an honor to hear James scream "WAKE UP, F*" once more
Battery from this concert is crazy, I would recommend after your listen to the album version (the reaction that led me to your channel) you check it out. Honestly, the entire concert is amazing, listen to it all.
Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman (Live Moscow 91'), Creeping Death (Live Moscow 91'). All great songs to keep you going. The live Moscow 91' concert is UNBELIEVABLE!
I had been trying to see Metallica since 1985 (I was 14) and got stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA (in Tacoma) 2 weeks after this concert. It wasn't until 1997 I was able to see them in concert... on my birthday! Best birthday EVER!
Some corners of the internet have this performance as Metallica's "fastest", highest BPM played ever, at almost 220 BPM. I think some ppl clocks Blackened around 200. Anyone know any instance where they have played any song faster than 220BPM?
The part of this Seattle live show i always liked was the intro, which I think it was an instrumental they already wrote, but on a bigger note, it starts with the bass player, who was on his first tour with Metallica after being hired to replace the late Cliff Burton, who was their band mate and friend. The way Kirk and James walked out to play with him was almost like signaling to the fans “Yes. We know Cliff’s gone. But this new guy is one of us, and we hope you like him.”
Loved the reaction! Keep it on. And you should check out a lot more of their stuff, like their live album(s) with the symphony on S&M. Metallica is known for legendary live performances.
Great reaction. Don't forget that this is the very best of the best, IMO. Now imagine them in present time. These guys are pushing 60 and more. They say they will play for as long as they can but they aren't the Rolling Stones. The put out way more energy than that. That is why I think we should go to their shows now as much as we can as fans. I am not sure just how long they can keep this up.
11:29 Yes, they're incredibly knowledgeable about music. Not via school but naturally. I think James Hetfield is a gift to this world with his guitar playing and songwriting skills. Also, he is a true definition of a 'frontman'. Grows bigger in stage with his energy. Just his posture is enough. I must also mention Lars Ulrich as well. He is widely considered as not technical and even sometimes a 'sloppy' drummer; but he is a mastermind behind the Metallica songs. He really 'builds up' the riffs and lyrics written by James Hetfield, like LEGO pieces and makes up catchy songs.
Watch the live 1991 Moscow concert of Enter Sandman & Creeping Death… it’s mind blowing… 1.6 million people showed up to the first open air concert in Russia after the wall fell… it’s crazy to see!
I love your reaction, Kathryn. I love how you felt the primal energy... the anger, the angst, the raw adrenaline... that Metallica brings to the world. And I thought it was hilarious that you didn't know what to do with your hands at times. :D Welcome to the deep rabbit hole that is thrash metal.
Awesome reaction. Great performance. More Metallica! Have you ever checked out any symphonic metal? Would love to see you react to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish (live Wacken 2013) sometime. Keep on rockin!
So if you want to be awestruck, watch them play "enter sandman" live in Russia in 1991. If you want to be emotionally moved, watch their official music video for "one" ... metallica proved to everyone that metal wasn't just loud noises, but could also have an impactful meaning in their lyrics and could cross generations as well as genres
Glad you listening to this live version. This concert kicks so much ass! I’ve seen them once in Vancouver BC. Kirk running laps doing this solo centre stage lol
You mention them being exhausted, lol. I've seen MetallicA ten times now, and every set is 2-3 HOURS LONG! Fantastic performers. MetallicA and Zeppelin are my church. ❤

I would love to agree with you but. Their best is with Cliff Burton on Bass. No slight to Jason Newstead.
@@jasonregister3494maybe but Newstead really made this band great too
@@donovanz1049So has Rob. He has been playing bass for them longer than anyone else.
@@UltraViolent21im sorry but cliff brought the playing, jason brought the demonic backing vocals and stage presence and rob brings crabwalking. he is the worst metallica bassist by a wide margin
@@UltraViolent21really crazy to think about
What you just witnessed is Metallica cranked to 11 while in their prime. Brutally powerful and explosive, while being insightful and melodic. #legends
Listen to "Fade to black" I don't need to say more, another beautiful masterpiece from Metallica!
Great choice, I think she’d really like FtB.
Also Orion. Has the power to make ya cry
One of my favorite rock songs its so nostalgic to me
This
Excellent choice one of the best songs in the I early catalog
This chick perfectly embodies lol the emotion I felt when I discovered Metallica as a kid. Stay Heavy Ma’am
I like how she doesn’t pause the video while reacting! Metallica is super good 🤘
I agree!
She was shocking...no words
Yeah because she looks like she’s about to cum so she doesn’t want to stop!
she also doesnt speak over the good parts lol
YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!! An amazing performance w them at their formidable power height - Cliff was such an integral part of their foundation ..... gotta give Jason his props though his live attitude and performance amps me up !!! this song still gets me live, such insane power !!!
Jason was good no doubt. But Cliff was the master of the bass and Rob is better than Jason
@@Shawn-mo6dh not worried about skill as much as what he brought to them emotionally and passion wise - his energy was massive and he gave all himself to us on stage !! They wouldn’t be who they are w/o the 3 of em for sure !!

By far,the best reaction ever.
This song was written about drug addiction, the interlude in the middle is meant to invoke the feeling of an addict. The calm part is the euphoric high and then the aggressive solo afterwards is the comedown.
Not just drug addiction, Although the song does revolve around cocaine a person can be a puppet to anything and any addiction..Sex.. Alcohol..Gambling..etc..
@@petemcfadden3543 Cocaine or Heroin?
@@timl8302 "Chop your breakfast on a mirror" refers to Cocaine.. "Veins that pump with fear..sucking darkest clear" refers to heroin, that's how I perceive it, but..the song can refer to any of type addiction that has control over any individual ..Heroin,Alcohol, Cigarettes,Cocaine,Gambling,Master of Puppets.
Exactly!! I hated cocaine but loved making heroin from the pure Opium
What a rush...
To anyone who ever lived under the control of their Master of Puppets, controlled by Addiction
There is hope
You can quit
It *WILL* HURT
But, it gets better... kick it's ass away! Life can burn BRIGHTER after throwing the MASTER away
Not just personal addiction. But politic, historic domination or slave. I think singing about pain and sadness of slaves.
The TO LIVE IS TO DIE Intro = Like the gentle stirring of a sweet romance, with the love notes and candlelight dinners, leading up to that special moment when love will be made...
When MASTER kicks in = The ass-slapping, hair-pulling, headboard banging animal sëx that results instead.
Kathryn exclaiming "Oh GOD! YES! Get it!" just drives that analogy home hard, lol. ;-D
Finally someone reacting to the right version! THIS is the Metallica experience
RiGHT!!!
This was Metallica's greatest live performance ever, IMO. James' vocal fry and Jason's crushing bass really give the songs the power that are essential for true metal. Please listen to Pantera, anything by them really, but I'm Broken and Primal Concrete Sledge stand out in my head right now. Those guys really took metal in the direction of where it is now.

I'd highly recommend "A New Level".. and "This Love" also. 🤘
I was at that show. It was insane. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
About his vocals in this one: This performance was 3 years after the album was recorded, and James had started working more on expanding his vocal style by this point.

That was an amazing performance. I saw them live back in the early 90's. It was the Black album tour. They went a million miles an hour the whole show. Unreal!
Same
Glad this album is preserved forever. Their best, best show🤘🤘
Metallica's Master of puppets is still classic performance from Seattle to this day
All songs.. The live shit era is the best.
@@ZDEVIL74 Back when Lars was in the mood to hit the drums.
I was at the Justice tour in 1989 and it was probably the most insane Metallica concert I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen them well over a dozen times live, but that concert in 1989 was peak speed, peak performance and just peak insanity. They almost had to stop the show because people were ripping off their seat bottoms and throwing them down from the upper seats.

My favorite concert of theirs, only rivaled by when I brought my father to his first ever concert (not just first Metallica, but first concert ever) because I also got to meet the band that day. My father is gone now, so that concert has a special place in my heart. However, nothing has rivaled the energy of the 1989 Justice tour.
wow. great story man! I love hearing peoples Metallica stories from the 80’s. could read them all day
Ive had the pleasure of see them live 3 times. They NEVER disappoint.
Please react to 'Nothing Else Matters'. So you can truly see the range they have.
Three Metallica must see videos
One - official video (lots of emotions)
Enter Sandman - Moscow (live -over a million in attendance)
Seek and Destroy - Quebec (live - fun video)
I went to both shows in Seattle on this tour. Both shows were filmed. Metallica at their peak. Two of the best shows I have ever been to. Period.
High energy. Peak metallica. "The thing that should not be" from the same concert is also freaking awesome. Heavy, as jason newstead said.
Peak prime Metallica. Music literally does not get any better. This band needs to be seen live by every human ever it's that damn good. I've been to 3 concert
I saw this tour in '89 and can tell you it was so unbelievable loud and just POWERFUL.
Same here and again in '92 on the Black tour.
Whiplash live in Seattle 1989. Bassist Jason Newsted said it was the hardest they ever played that song.
Ah, this makes me feel 13 again, when I got this vhs from a friend, fell in love with metal music back then... You seemed to enjoy it too, glowing eyes, huge smile and stuff :D Thank you!!!!!!!
I was there! Epic performance... if you want crazy react to And Justice for All from the same seattle show!
Performing music is like sport; the passion and adrenalin drive you to keep going. You can deal with the pain later. The feeling of peforming like that with a band is incredible.
Every 6-8 months I watch the entire Seattle show. Just a powerhouse of 2 hours.
I have been so fortunate as to have been to see Metallica live four times, and the way they bounce the singing of this song back and forth between themselves and the audience is so friggin awesome, gets me every time!!!
Glad to see your reaction to that legendary live show!
an awesome reaction video! Thanks for sharing your moment of experiencing the ride!
Your reactions are so fun!!! Love your enthusiasm for this great stuff! What a great new adventure to be on!!! Do April Wine "Roller" for me... I beg of you....
you were so kind... THANK YOU!
I've seen Metallica live 4 times- they always put on a show. And they usually play at least 2 hours.
this may be the best reaction I've ever seen to a Metallica video. Your excitement was infectious.
Watched the whole concert last night! You picked the perfect gig to start live Metallica reactions 😀. Please do Blackened from the same concert next 🤞
I LOVE this reaction! You looked like you had a great time reacting to it!
This concert is still the best live thing Metallica has ever put out.
I bought it in the original box set back in the early 90s, and I wore that tape out.
I still have that box with the audio and video cassettes
I bought the DVD/CD combo from Amazon a few years ago and it’s a lot cheaper than the initial box was.
The lyric video is good for first time listeners. But then again seeing them play is also good lol. Check out the lyrics.
Yes! Love your reaction!! What I felt 1996, when I started playing this in my band. Absolutely explosive!!
Q: "How do they have the endurance for this?!"
A: Vodka-Cocaine cocktails, it's peak Metallica. 😂
Saw them on this tour at Redrocks in CO. Unforgettable! Have seen them throughout the years but that one was special! Great Channel. Lots of great bands to discover.

Next, you must do Metallica’s official video for the song One.
That video is terrible, just a bunch of redundant crap played over an otherwise great song. They even put pointless movie dialogue over the solos for crying out loud.
The best "One" is from Seattle 98, every song on that concert is the best version ever played.
"Oh my god that's gorgeous " Yes you are.
😂😂😂....
the transition from To Live Is To Die to Master Of Puppets is ... just awesome.
edit: also it would be an honor to hear James scream "WAKE UP, F*" once more
That “GOD YES!!!” at Lars drum fill around 8:20 😂.
Battery from this concert is crazy, I would recommend after your listen to the album version (the reaction that led me to your channel) you check it out. Honestly, the entire concert is amazing, listen to it all.
This is the Title to the Album which Congress declared so important culturally that it is enshrined forever in the Library of Congress.
Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman (Live Moscow 91'), Creeping Death (Live Moscow 91'). All great songs to keep you going. The live Moscow 91' concert is UNBELIEVABLE!
I had been trying to see Metallica since 1985 (I was 14) and got stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA (in Tacoma) 2 weeks after this concert. It wasn't until 1997 I was able to see them in concert... on my birthday! Best birthday EVER!
@Metallica my favorite band of all time. Seattle 89 was one of their best concerts of all time.
Some corners of the internet have this performance as Metallica's "fastest", highest BPM played ever, at almost 220 BPM. I think some ppl clocks Blackened around 200. Anyone know any instance where they have played any song faster than 220BPM?
I'm glad you included To Live Is To Die in this.
I love seeing metal fans being born welcome to the brotherhood/sisterhood Kathryn😁
Metallica - The Unforgiven ..for me the best song ever!
I love that you did the live version they earned there notoriety by touring they have so much quality live music please try anything live
The part of this Seattle live show i always liked was the intro, which I think it was an instrumental they already wrote, but on a bigger note, it starts with the bass player, who was on his first tour with Metallica after being hired to replace the late Cliff Burton, who was their band mate and friend. The way Kirk and James walked out to play with him was almost like signaling to the fans “Yes. We know Cliff’s gone. But this new guy is one of us, and we hope you like him.”
React to Metallica - Fade to Black live in Lincoln 2018
I was there
Loved the reaction! Keep it on.
And you should check out a lot more of their stuff, like their live album(s) with the symphony on S&M. Metallica is known for legendary live performances.
Great reaction. Don't forget that this is the very best of the best, IMO. Now imagine them in present time. These guys are pushing 60 and more. They say they will play for as long as they can but they aren't the Rolling Stones. The put out way more energy than that. That is why I think we should go to their shows now as much as we can as fans. I am not sure just how long they can keep this up.
I love seeing people react for the first time to the Greatest of all Metallica songs, Master Of Puppets.
11:29 Yes, they're incredibly knowledgeable about music. Not via school but naturally. I think James Hetfield is a gift to this world with his guitar playing and songwriting skills. Also, he is a true definition of a 'frontman'. Grows bigger in stage with his energy. Just his posture is enough. I must also mention Lars Ulrich as well. He is widely considered as not technical and even sometimes a 'sloppy' drummer; but he is a mastermind behind the Metallica songs. He really 'builds up' the riffs and lyrics written by James Hetfield, like LEGO pieces and makes up catchy songs.
James might be the hardest working man in show business
Watch the live 1991 Moscow concert of Enter Sandman & Creeping Death… it’s mind blowing… 1.6 million people showed up to the first open air concert in Russia after the wall fell… it’s crazy to see!
The best Metallica performance ever🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I drove from Connecticut to this concert with three others....the most powerful Metallica concert i ever attended
One of the Greatest Metallica concerts of all time. And my #1 favorite.
Great Reaction Beautiful Woman!! Hello from New Hampshire!! 😘😎🤘
Hi from Adelaide Australia, one of the best Metallica music videos is Harvester of sorrow live in Moscow 1991. Over 1 million people in the crowd.
I love your reaction, and from it I know you've never ever listen to Master of puppet at all before this, keep up girl, you're rock
saw them on this tour....in LA.....will never forget
Imagine being there with 140db's of furious metal pumping your way and the boys at their very peak. One of the great musical experiences.
her beauty is out of this world
That intro.. To Live Is To Die!
My favourite band.. that's METALLICA 👊🏼!
I love your reaction, Kathryn. I love how you felt the primal energy... the anger, the angst, the raw adrenaline... that Metallica brings to the world. And I thought it was hilarious that you didn't know what to do with your hands at times. :D
Welcome to the deep rabbit hole that is thrash metal.
This reacts deserved a million views for real
Awesome reaction. Great performance. More Metallica! Have you ever checked out any symphonic metal? Would love to see you react to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish (live Wacken 2013) sometime. Keep on rockin!
This is VERY good advice.
So if you want to be awestruck, watch them play "enter sandman" live in Russia in 1991. If you want to be emotionally moved, watch their official music video for "one" ... metallica proved to everyone that metal wasn't just loud noises, but could also have an impactful meaning in their lyrics and could cross generations as well as genres
If you haven't already seen it, I recommend the 1991 Moscow live version of Enter Sandman.
^^^ Yeah, this one.
You are definitely someone I would take with me to a Metallica concert! Your vibe is awesome 🤙🏼🤘🏼
Glad you listening to this live version. This concert kicks so much ass! I’ve seen them once in Vancouver BC. Kirk running laps doing this solo centre stage lol
You mention them being exhausted, lol. I've seen MetallicA ten times now, and every set is 2-3 HOURS LONG!
Fantastic performers. MetallicA and Zeppelin are my church. ❤
I love the bit where Lars farks the drums at 8:47 for a few seconds but it still works after James punches a cymbal!
This was my first Metallica album I ever got. The next must watch video Enter Sandman live from Moscow 1.6 million plus attendees.
