Song's based on the novel by the same name by Ernest Hemingway and it's about an American fighting on the side of the rebels during the Spanish Civil War.
@@michaelfried3123 Hemingway used a line from the poem for the novel's title, but didn't redo anything from Donne. The novel itself is about the Spanish Civil War, as is the Metallica song.
Robert Jordan, the novel's protagonist, fought on the side of the Soviet-backed Spanish Republican government. The rebels were the Falangists and Carlists whom the Republicans were fighting against (and who ultimately won).
Y'all have to check out "Fade to Black" and "Ride the Lightning" next off this album as well. However, this entire album is excellent. Can't go wrong with any track. \m/

@@Metal_Mary You're very lucky! Cliff was truly someone special. Those first three albums with him really stand above the others, and his influence and talent really show. RIP Cliff.
I think it’d be worth your while to react to some of Cliff Burton’s live bass performances, especially his live instrumental called Anesthesia from Metallica’s first album “Kill ‘Em All.” Truly one of the best and most iconic bassists imo, RIP Cliff ✊🏻
Something about Metallica...their songs are super layered, like how an orchestra is. Rhythm guitar isn't just one play through. They play it, then play it again with the recording, and sometimes even again, just so it has that "full" sound. Seen them three times since 1989. Fsking awesome
It was always funny that the know-nothing talking heads back in the day said Metallica was soo bad for kids, meanwhile for those that bothered to listen to the songs realized these guys were teaching better lessons than most in schools in that they told of the dangers of drugs, being pro-wars, and authority.
Truth same with mega deaths lyrics if you just pay attention them there’s more than just kill kill kill for the sake (ok well maybe there are a few just about killing for the sake but not many)
I'll never forget using this song as my entry song as a closer in high school. We played our rival and after the game, the opposing coach told me "I knew we were f***** when I heard the bells." Best compliment I've ever received
There is a reason why Metallica was the first of the Big Four of thrash metal, and why they are one of only two still going. There is more to their lyrics and compositions than most people realize. This song specifically, is referencing the poem of the same name by John Donne, and the novel by Ernest Hemingway.
It's unbelievable, but Metallica has been playing this song at almost every concert for over 20 years. They play an average of 100 concerts a year (formerly 150, today 50 per year). I've heard it live 6 times and I still get chills when you guys play it.
Thanks for the Metallica song , I’m a 68 yr. Old ROCKER, I LIKE TO ROCK , HAHAHAHAHA, cool channel you two. TEXAS HERE😉 I’ve seen METALLICA live 6 times .
I learned decades ago this is a song I cannot listen to while driving....keeps me from weaving in an out of traffic at 100 mph while playing air drums off my steering wheel! PS. Check out the source material for this song, the poem by the same name by Donne. Its classic literature...about war.
The song was inspired by the writing of Ernest Hemingway about war... the expression 'For whom the bell tolls...' was by 16th century English poet John Donne: "For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee" 🎸🔔 The opening riff was actually played by (late) bassist Cliff Burton - he used a distortion pedal to make the bass sound like a lead guitar... it was what made him a phenomenal bassist and musician (He was only 24 when he passed away in 1986 in a tour bus accident)... Metallica would feature him on a bass solo in their concerts, where he would RIP 🔥on stage (His bass solo was filmed a few times... featured as the track 'Pulling teeth' on the first album "Kill 'em all")
EXCELLENT. I've always been partial to the title track. I'd love to see your reaction to RIDE THE LIGHTNING. Have a great day, guys. Greetings from New Brunswick.
They play the intro to this song at sporting events all the time. NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, at some point during a game, you're going to hear the intro to FWTBT. Or at least that's been my experience attending games from those leagues here in NYC.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's heavy metal was not my go to genre although there were certain songs I liked. In the last couple years though I started listening to Metallica after hearing Nothing Else Matters (which is now my favorite song in any genre). So surprised at 63 to find that I love Metallica and now I'm open to discovering other heavy metal bands.
Listen to Ronnie James DIO singing for Black Sabbath, on the Album 'Mob Rules' ...or start with the song off it called 'Sign of the Southern Cross'. Also (early) Judas Priest... check out their album 'Sad Wings of Destiny', especially 'Dreamer Deciever' and how it then merges into the song 'Deciever'. Both albums above are great classics, from 2 of the best vocalists ever in Rock/Metal ...enjoy
He's got the right idea using this song for opening entrances for fighters. I remember when a wrecking ball was tearing down an old building where I live a long time ago, and pulled my car up to it after work one day and put on the song on the opening instrumental. It was soooo cool! Only got 3 or 4 wrecking swings from the ball, but I had to make that happen. This whole album is fire!
I remember using this song while watching bull riding on tv on mute. Fit so well. Country boys have the wrong music for their lifestyle. Rodeo and car racing go so well with metal.
when tia when this album came out in the 80s i went to a place called the record vault and bought the vinyl. went home and listened to creeping death. i was very impressed. bad ass
This was there take on the book “For Whom The Bell Tolls”, by Earnest Hemingway. On this album is a song taken from the Exodus in the Bible too. A lot of cool stuff on this one album. This was the first album where they weren’t using Dave Munstaine’s music.
My personal opinion is if you are enjoying Metallica and want to check out something that you wouldn't think would work in a million years then seek out any video from their original "S&M" concert. Metallica + San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I first watched it with mouth wide open (I enjoy metal and am a classically trained brass musician). Michael Kamen did an excellent job of creating orchestral arrangements that stood up against the 4 guys from Metallica killing it at the front of the stage and the orchestra were working just as hard. For years Metallica have come on stage to Ennio Morricone's "Ecstacy of Gold" and to have a live orchestra doing the same was a nice touch. Then straight into the near-10 minute instrumental "Call of Ktulu" followed by "Master of Puppets" without a single break. Epic. They did this track, "Enter Sandman", "One" (which I thought was born to be orchestrated after hearing this version), "Wherever I May Roam", "Nothing Else Matters", the list goes on... There was a point at the turn of the 2000s where I had the 2 audio CDs on constant repeat in my car.
Fun fact about intro songs in the UFC, Dana said they pick about 99% of the songs for the fighters, the vast majority of them said "I dont give AF about an entrance song" haha
Fun fact: The bell sound heard at the beginning of the track was actually produced by drummer Lars Ulrich striking an anvil with a metal hammer in combination with a bell from a sound effects reel.
Ride the Lightning is one of my favs album ever! "Fade to Black" is on my top 10 tracks ever! U guys needs to listen to this whole album as it was launched back in 80s. The trinity "Ride The Lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "And Justice for All" albuns are a must for every rock fan.
The Four Horsemen, Ride the Lighting and Creeping Death are 3 of the other top 6. Fight fire with fire and Disposable Heroes are up there as well, and you already did Master of Puppets of course!!
Most of us who study music or play an instruments are always astounded by the things Metallica does. There's a little bit of dissonance thrown into the song during the instrumental break they play after the first chorus. They do this twice when they play a chord that's not part of they key that they are playing in. Please do a reaction video for "Master of Puppets" if you haven't done one yet. Keep on rockin' in the free world, my friends.
acdc does use this as an intro to hells bells....its a massive bell that is suspended over the crowd. Obviously, it doesn't ring but is triggered by the soundman on tape
you can tell that the band must be a fan of Hemingway's books, he wrote several books about WWI, they also wrote a song from another anit-was was :"One"
For whom the bell towels came about during the black plauge. So many were dying that they were buried alive. A string was placed inside the coffin to say I'm not dead yet.
Just found your channel today and gave an instant sub! Great reaction to a great song. Metallica has been number 1 for me for almost 30 years. If you're looking to stick with this album, Fade to Black is an absolute must. The song Battery from the puppets album is a personal fav of mine too. Now to go binge watch some of your videos haha 🤘
The song is based on an Ernest Hemingway novel FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS Great track and one of many Metallica songs that I enjoy playing... I'm a drummer btw ✌️🤘🧐
Have you guys checked out the 1991 Monsters of Rock with Metallica and AC/DC in Moscow? Check out Enter Sandman and any of AC/DC at the same concert. Yes that is 1.6 million people there
It looks like the only member of "the big 4" you haven't listened to yet is Anthrax. Most of their music would be classified as speed metal. It has a little bit of a punk feel to it. I think the song "Be All, End All" would be a good first listen for you two. Love the reactions!
quite possibly one of the greatest intros to a song.. it just hooks you in
They are the masters of intros
💯
Intro + verse + chorus = the entire into. Pure genius.

Saw this performed live yesterday. Let me tell you - the entire stadium just exploded. It was phenomenal. 200/10 gold stars
Best band of all time imo. They were put on this earth to play music
I definitely believe that 💯 🙌

3) Metallica
4) The Who
5) Grateful Dead

You would absolutely love their songs "Creeping Death" and "Welcome home, Sanitarium" too. Both molten fire!! 🌋🔥
They have done Creeping Death, but yea, Welcome Home also fire🔥🔥
creeping death Moscow
Sad but true is the best Metallica intro in my opinion sounds amazing, I reckon that St. Anger also wasn’t really Metallica style and sound
Why’ does nobody mention there song FUEL, its there best Metallica song its my favourite,
Creeping Death is one we've done!
Got to love the dirty gritty in your face to this song . Next Metallica try there Fade To Black. Awesome lead guitar 🎸🎼🎵🎶🤘
Great tune. I Always turn up the radio when this comes on.. Love the channel and reactions.

I recommend Battery by Metallica. Killer guitar solo, and very fast paced.😊
"Welcome Home Sanitarium" "Fade To Black" are MUST listen to Metallica songs🤘😎

Truth same with mega deaths lyrics if you just pay attention them there’s more than just kill kill kill for the sake (ok well maybe there are a few just about killing for the sake but not many)
Every time I hear this I want to watch Zombieland again (this is the title song for that movie), maybe I've watched it too many times 😄🤘
This is their best album imo. This song, fade to black, creeping death, call of ktulu, the whole album is top shelf.
You should hear them play it now at almost 60 !!!!!!
awesome! happy to hear your reaction to one of the best metallica songs...and one of the very best bass intros in rock! 🙂
Great harmonies on this track. 9:15 captures a dying soldier's thoughts.

Much appreciated!

Same Album.... Fade to Black, a song that saved many of us and of course guitars that'll make the hair on your arms levitate...
Live version, "The day that never comes" in France. Crazy good!
Ah, my top favorite Metallica song-
It's based off a tragic book written in the 1940s with the same title.
Try using this for 'sexy time"....changes the entire game!
