@@masterc1172 Give it time. Puppets is my favorite song bc that was me and it's a reminder of how far I've come. Working towards 18 yrs clean. I started using @ 12yo and by 23 I realized death would never be in the cards so I only options were to either continue the pain and misery or get clean and actually start to live my life.
Actually if you read about James Hetfield the lead singer for Metallica, he said that all of their songs are drugs, however they only drank and never did drugs and when the band got sober and saved James looked at the lyrics for all their songs and was WHOA all these songs are about drug use evn though I never used them.
The dude on the right totally fuckin gets it. The girl just needs to give it another listen and listen to some softer Metallica songs possibly because I don’t think she realizes how much talent those guys have.
"It's just the sound that throw us off cause that's not how we came up on music, but really it's just they sound, and they still talking about the same shit that our people are." Bro,.... bro.... This guy gets it!
halle-fn-luljia. There's not as much differences in people different cultures as the controlling media leads you to believe. From what I've seen over my life is how common it is for for people to complain or even fear about the horrors of government, and inequalities of justice that affect one group of people. Your revelations that it's the same message in a different bottle is spot one. I challenge you to read the lyrics and look at more metal - especially Metallica - they're saying the same thing you are all saying. Music and art, man - it's universal. The message is universal. It's deeper than most think.
The instrumentals layout has a meaning too. It starts off heavy to represent the craving. The slow melodic part is the fix/high. And the gradual fade back to heavy is the come down
Alas sir you’re correct and incorrect. James said himself he enjoyed master of puppets so much because it related to many different things in life :) not just one or two
Yes, exactly. And the middle melodic guitar section (of the song) represents the high from the drug, only to return to the chaotic crash. What's amazing is that these guys wrote and composed this song in their late teens.
Metallica is the perfect band to experiment with metal because they aren't about demonic or monster crap. They make songs about the human condition that anyone can relate to. How religion fails people, how war is terrible, how depression can lead to suicidal thoughts, gossip. The Black Album is a really good album because the music is at a slower tempo and it's their best album lyrically.
My mom was a drug addict the first 16 years of my life, she always made sure I understood the drug connotations of alot of this music. It was her master, and she broke free to raise my little brother but always fought the call to go back until she died. You're so right about drugs.
In their defense, the bands themselves often times put people off by going over the top with the dark image. I grew up in a religious family, so I know what it's like. It's a slow process for someone to have an open mind and listen to the lyrics without being creeped out. Fortunately, nothing about Metallica is overtly related to the occult. Can't say the same for all metal bands though.
These 2 are hilarious. She's so cute, snapping her fingers to the beat lol. "I thought it would just be some devil shit but they talk about the same things we do!"
lmao her reaction to this song is like a mother trying to like and vibe her sons music but dying inside asking herself wtf is going on and why is this ish so efing long hahahaha
Just watched Chris's reaction and honestly one of the greatest, open-minded attitude I've seen about all music. Very well done guys and thank you for see all perspectives!
even the music tells the story...the first melodic interlude with the guitars tells the story of a user who first does drugs, the "fantasy", the good feelings...but the second guitar after "Fix Me" shows when the drugs take over and the "dream" is lost...it's erratic, irrational, ugly, deadly...this song is an absolute masterpiece of composition.
Dude, You are absolutely correct and deserve your own channel. I prefer deeper interpretations and analysis rather than superficial discoveries by people sampling this genre. Seriously man, your insight is tight. I never realized the different interludes' meanings until I read your comment, and I've been listening to this cassette since it first came out. Full respect for your analysis.
Easily the funniest part of hip hop reactions to metal? They usually head bobbin. They dont know YET bout head banging. So watching them try to figure out what to do with their heads, GOLD.
that's how I see it. in the heavy part the singer is his drugs or cravings, when it's slow the singer is the person calling out the drug for lying, but as it gets faster again the first lyrics are "hell is worth all that" implying that as soon as the cravings came back the puppet forgets everything that the drug is doing to him, and the singer is once again the master and the puppet isnt in control anymore
There is actually a new theory floating amongst the people. Says Metallica sold out in the 80's. That's why they became famous as fuck, got good deals, earned mad money. They sold out to the same people who controlled Michael Jackson and Britney Spears and Eminem and all those big guys. The price for fame? Cliff Burton. The world works on blackmail after all.
Because alot of people out there just listen to what mtv or Cmt or the Radio spoon feeds them an doesn't venture out to see what else there is of course there is 98 rock from Baltimore an Sirius Radio that plays everything on different radio stations
Yeah pretty unbelievable that they never heard of this. In all honesty I can't tell you a thing about rap or hip- hop either. I know the names of hip- hop and rap performers but can't name any particular song. I'll take my Metallica or Zeppelin or any rock all day long.
I'm a steal this quote I saw on another reaction video to this song: Moms in the '80s: Heavy metal is the devil's music. Metallica in the '80s: Don't do drugs.
Hey guys - as an old metalhead I really enjoyed your reaction. Respect for listening to genres outside your comfort zone. I am a white bred Aussie who loves a lot of hip hop as well, esp. old school like Public Enemy and classic Ice T. If you wanna listen to something really heavy though, try The Silence is Deafening by Napalm Death or Cause of Death by Obituary :) Also you should check out Bodycount, Ice T's metal band. One of my favourite songs of his is Talk Sh*t, Get Shot!
Per her reaction: the lyrics are not devil or demonic...the lyrics express that a person severly addicted to drugs is in "hell" and that it becomes their natural habitat...becomes the place where they live...dying for their Master (drugs)
Brother so open minded and into the lyrics. Thats what its all about trying new things and opening the horizon. Good job guys keep up the good work. I enjoyed this 100%
That was awesome seeing y'all put all the lyrical clues together to come up with a drug addiction 😁 That interlude part in the middle is meant to be the drug user while he's high, and as it ends, he's coming down off the high and hitting the realization of how much he needs the drugs as he screams "FIX ME!!!" "Hell is worth all that" = He's ok doing the drugs because of how it makes him feel, even though when he's not high, he's craving the drugs.
As a teacher, 7:34 incapsulates everything we love. Seeing the student light bulbs go off and understand it! Yes! Seen Metallica twice and some of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Respect to yalls open mind. When the solo hit is awesome
"This a long ass song" *laughs in prog* *laughs in classical* Jokes aside, its good to see people expose themselves to something different. The imagery is supposed to be shocking because the reality of drugs is just that and the same goes for many of their music topics. Keep listening, even if you don't "like" at least you tried to understand it.
its upsetting lowkey seeing that the guy is SO so down with actually trying to enjoy and pay attention and she isnt even willing to give it a chance :/ lol I get its DEF new to her but it's so good just give it a chance like your man! haha
@@Lost_n_Found_1 its not untrue that "metal isn't for women"? Get fucking real. There's a ridiculous amount of women who rock just as hard if not harder than men. Think of all the badass metal bands with female leads. Or all of the insane shows I've been to with girls hitting the pit just as hard as dudes. Being a metalhead doesn't mean you also have to be a sexist p.o.s.
"People like this", no, dear, this is life for a lot of people. It speaks to so many people on so many different levels. I know, I'm watching it late to your reaction and you've gotten the breakdown of the whole song and Metallica...Metal is a feeling. Metal is soul. You don't love it, you don't hate it. You FEEL it. Metallica is a good example. To build off of that, Ronnie James Dio, with Black Sabbath and solo. Iron Maiden. Judas Priest.
I watch many reactions from hip hop fans listening to my generations sounds, and I want to say, you two are really amazing. You bring great energy, with wit and wisdom beyond your years. I'd like to thank you for the entertainment, I enjoy it greatly . I would like to leave a suggestion for "Steve Miller" Fly Like AN Eagle. As a youth it was my "smokin song" . Enjoy and thank you again.
One of the best things about Metallica is that they've got such a variety of sounds...Nothing Else Matters, Hero of the Day, maybe The Memory Remains would probably be a bit more approachable. THEN you get into shit like the cover of So What. ha
Exactly, such a kid that girl...music is about instruments and meanings and this music has it all, she just got to give it a chance and try to enjoy it like it is, a masterpiece!
I love seeing a younger generation experience this music. If you listen closely, and put yourself in the song, the part that slows down represents trying to get away from the drugs and them dragging you back in. Powerful stuff from a band people said we're devil worshipers
Its actually a common misconception that its about coke. It is really about heroin. The lyrics "needle work the way" and "chop your breakfast on a mirror" show that it heroin. Back in the 80s, nobody used to shoot coke. Heroin was the one of the only drugs people used to shoot.
Love seeing how open minded y'all are being to experiencing music that's out your comfort zone. As someone myself who comes from a hip-hop and r&b background, I can tell you rock and metal has so much beautiful music to offer. Different can be good too 😉💪🏼
When I was growing up in the 80’s, our music was either labeled as satanic, drug ridden and just violent. Much of the time the lyrics were deep with hard meanings. I am so excited watching you hear what we heard then. Keep it up, I love you guys and your genuine reactions. Understand that the transitions in the music is also a depiction of the stages of someone on drugs. The rage and need (when it’s heavy and angry) high and happy (during the slow melodic transition) then the need for more as it Reagan’s the momentum.
It's amazing when someone steps out of their comfort zone and discover the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time! You should listen to the And Justice for All album. Metallica is very political and socially aware ahead of the times. Congrats you two for discovering my favorite band of all time
When it comes to rock and metal most of it is telling you a deep intense story, hardly any of it is "demonic" even if it sounds like it. I would definitely give rock and metal a chance, it's what I grew up on.
Dude, I was leaning in so hard when you guys were working out it was about drugs. Well done. This song is hands-down one of the biggest metal songs in history. Glad to see you guys cover it. Keep it up!
I can't believe no one said this earlier. That's exactly what the interlude is about, the bliss of a fix. Then the same exact progression is played again but with distortion, ie your world is coming down as you go into withdrawal. This song is a masterpiece 🤘
I've had people listen to this for the first time. They would say they liked it! Had them listen to it again, then explain the interlude...... HEAD EXPLOIDS.....
What will really blow your mind is that this album came out in 1986. Right in the middle of the drug epidemic. Every song on that album is just as powerful. It's one of the greatest metal albums ever . Every song on this album is awesome.
This is really wholesome. Seeing these reactions, it reminds me of how I wilded the fuck out when I got this cassette when I was a teenager. Shows that people of all cultures are really the fucking same when you strip away all the bullshit and we should all respect each other.
i've been listening to this album for DECADES, and i never knew this was about drugs... in fairness though, i sing a long, and headbang, but i never really 'listen' to the lyrics and their meaning... you guys, have made me appreciate this music i love, even more!
Again, I am impressed by your open minds. It's great that you really went after the lyrics on this one because they are so critical to the effect of the song.
“Hell worth all that, natrual habitat.” Basically saying a drug addicts willingness to continue to going through the same hell of withdrawls and well the seediness of trying to get your next hit or being surrounded by the bad stuff associated with drugs.
i never would have thought i would like metal tbh just like y’all. but metallica legit changed my life and perspective on music please do more i’m telling y’all..
She has a preconceived notion of metal so it's a tough start. In her defense, bands themselves often times put people off by going over the top with the dark image. I grew up in a religious family, so I know what it's like. It's a slow process for someone to have an open mind and listen to the lyrics without being creeped out. Fortunately, nothing about Metallica is overtly related to the occult. Can't say the same for all metal bands though.
Things are not always as they seem. Thank you for actually giving this an honest "ear". All people could use this as an example for all aspects of life. The thing with metal is the instruments are just as important to the story the artist are telling as the lyrics are. Bravo.
The both of you are too damn cute, I love watching you both breaking down music that would otherwise be off your radar. Rheasia seems scared of this song. I give her props for making it through the whole song. It's amazing how Chris try's to get her to see the truth of the song and honestly feel the music from the artist perspective. You both rock!!! New fan & follower here. I've watched and liked several videos of the both of you reacting to music that is out of your comfort zone. You guys should listen to some of Beth Heart 💘
Guys, just seen this and utterly LOVE it!!! Long time Metallica fan, but seeing your reaction as you realise what the song is about is priceless!! Literally one of my all time favourite TH-cam videos. You do Metallica (and fans) proud. Amazing stuff - thank you!!!!
I'm glad you watched the lyrics video and really tried to understand what the song was about. Even though it was a totally different genre than you are used too. Stepping outside your comfort zone is dope. I'll second the request for Metallica, "One". Just don't do the official video, find another lyrics version. The official video has a movie cut into it that has thrown many reactors off. If you don't know why they chose that movie footage and the story behind it, you can get confused. New subscriber here. Looking forward to your next reaction.
The transition from the fast to the slow back to the fast represents the high of drugs, the low, and your desire to get back to the high. The control it has over you.
Rock takes u on a journey while rap tells u a story. The rock music makes u feel it with lyrics back it up. Rap bars makes u feel it while the beat backs it up. Imho only.. lol
@@neonzada To me, rap tells it how it is. It tells a story in a way, blatant and straight up. Rock is more about figuring out yourself what the lyrics mean, and they can mean a multitude of different things for different people
This might be the best reaction ever. The genuine dislike of the music and fear in Rheasia's eyes is a great perspective, but to see Chris coming around and having a straight up awakening is just too much. I actually cried watching this. As a 46 year old man with a family, I can't tell you how many tough times this musice helped me through while I was growing up. Thanks for keeping it real once again!
My brother and sister, metal is my jam, but gangsta rap is too. My taste is so diversified, but, I must say, I love and appreciate your genuine reaction reviews. I’ve now seen a few of your reaction vids, and you guys are the best at it. I see you guys know the difference between hearing and listening. Most others piss me off, as they hear, but not listen. Y’all both are going places in life, and I feel your philosophical views. Metal ain’t devils music, just another personal way of getting a message across

Great moment. They are both on top of it.

And the line after the slow part: Master, Master, where's the dreams I've been after?" A reference to someone not getting high off their normal fix

@@sergi3629 me either lol I think it's just his opinion tho
It is drug addiction. The lyrics are from the perspective of the drugs. The drugs are commanding him and controlling his life.

this needs to be pinned.

That's what the media has always told an unknowing public. That's why metal is like a brotherhood or secret society. Once you get it, you're in.

7:34 incapsulates everything we love. Seeing the student light bulbs go off and understand it! Yes! Seen Metallica twice and some of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Respect to yalls open mind. When the solo hit is awesome
"This a long ass song"
*laughs in prog*
*laughs in classical*
Jokes aside, its good to see people expose themselves to something different. The imagery is supposed to be shocking because the reality of drugs is just that and the same goes for many of their music topics. Keep listening, even if you don't "like" at least you tried to understand it.
I LOVE the reaction when someone realizes the meaning behind this song! Welcome to the dark side!
If she's in shock with Metallica, imagine them listening to Sepultura :D
It might be best to hold off on that for a few more songs... They should crawl before they walk
Or cannibal corpse
@@littledevil1815 oh forget that lol they would die from the cover art alone
SLAYER
@@Priasbcbeist they really would tbh
its upsetting lowkey seeing that the guy is SO so down with actually trying to enjoy and pay attention and she isnt even willing to give it a chance :/ lol I get its DEF new to her but it's so good just give it a chance like your man! haha
Yes i was thinking that , she was just waiting for it to finish asap you could see in her face she wasnt enjoying it :/
@Gore4ever FulciLives 😂😂😂
@Gore4ever FulciLives shut the fuck up
@@briarhaven01 It's not untrue...
@@Lost_n_Found_1 its not untrue that "metal isn't for women"? Get fucking real. There's a ridiculous amount of women who rock just as hard if not harder than men. Think of all the badass metal bands with female leads. Or all of the insane shows I've been to with girls hitting the pit just as hard as dudes. Being a metalhead doesn't mean you also have to be a sexist p.o.s.
"People like this", no, dear, this is life for a lot of people. It speaks to so many people on so many different levels. I know, I'm watching it late to your reaction and you've gotten the breakdown of the whole song and Metallica...Metal is a feeling. Metal is soul. You don't love it, you don't hate it. You FEEL it. Metallica is a good example. To build off of that, Ronnie James Dio, with Black Sabbath and solo. Iron Maiden. Judas Priest.
AMEN!!!!!!
I truly loved watching u figure that shit out. It's a right of passage for metalheads to realize what these songs are REALLY about. Great job
Part of the fun of reaction videos is seeing people go way outside their comfort zone.
I watch many reactions from hip hop fans listening to my generations sounds, and I want to say, you two are really amazing. You bring great energy, with wit and wisdom beyond your years. I'd like to thank you for the entertainment, I enjoy it greatly . I would like to leave a suggestion for "Steve Miller" Fly Like AN Eagle. As a youth it was my "smokin song" . Enjoy and thank you again.
Chris gets it lmao but nah rheasia just needs it to grow on her. Metal is an acquired taste to us who didn't grow up on it
One of the best things about Metallica is that they've got such a variety of sounds...Nothing Else Matters, Hero of the Day, maybe The Memory Remains would probably be a bit more approachable. THEN you get into shit like the cover of So What. ha
Yes! I grew with it while I was playing games and acquiring my taste in music. Nobody in my household listen to metal except me.
Exactly, such a kid that girl...music is about instruments and meanings and this music has it all, she just got to give it a chance and try to enjoy it like it is, a masterpiece!
Love how versatile you guys are with the choice of music you’re reacting too congrats on 10k
I love seeing a younger generation experience this music. If you listen closely, and put yourself in the song, the part that slows down represents trying to get away from the drugs and them dragging you back in. Powerful stuff from a band people said we're devil worshipers
The song is crafted like taking the drug. The soft part is the high and it comes back very hard when you jones for the coke.
Its actually a common misconception that its about coke. It is really about heroin. The lyrics "needle work the way" and "chop your breakfast on a mirror" show that it heroin. Back in the 80s, nobody used to shoot coke. Heroin was the one of the only drugs people used to shoot.
Coke is crazy
Some times it feels like killing your self when high..
Love seeing how open minded y'all are being to experiencing music that's out your comfort zone. As someone myself who comes from a hip-hop and r&b background, I can tell you rock and metal has so much beautiful music to offer. Different can be good too 😉💪🏼
When I was growing up in the 80’s, our music was either labeled as satanic, drug ridden and just violent. Much of the time the lyrics were deep with hard meanings. I am so excited watching you hear what we heard then. Keep it up, I love you guys and your genuine reactions. Understand that the transitions in the music is also a depiction of the stages of someone on drugs. The rage and need (when it’s heavy and angry) high and happy (during the slow melodic transition) then the need for more as it Reagan’s the momentum.
Crazy part is they were in their early 20's when this came out. True talent and music pioneers
Try ONE, Creaping Death...it's a Bible story, disposable Heroes, unforgiven,fade to Black, blackened, nothing else matters
official music video for One also look into the back story for the song hits a lot different when you know the meaning behind it
Steven McNutt Solid picks!
One would break them in a little more..
Terry Bryant its better than one
keep in mind, metallica was just teenagers in a garage when they made this song
his energy and open mindedness is what i’m talking about!! keep up the reactions! if you haven’t done Pneuma by Tool you guys definitely should
This bloke is a legend. How he describes things.
It's amazing when someone steps out of their comfort zone and discover the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time!
You should listen to the And Justice for All album. Metallica is very political and socially aware ahead of the times.
Congrats you two for discovering my favorite band of all time
So cool he figured this shit out like that. No one ever does
That's because we were high as hell
she'll like nothing else matters and the day that never comes
She never cared what he said
When it comes to rock and metal most of it is telling you a deep intense story, hardly any of it is "demonic" even if it sounds like it. I would definitely give rock and metal a chance, it's what I grew up on.
Chris is lit and hip to this shit!! Love to see a perceptive mind.
Yup
Imagine being a heavy metal band in the 80's and touring with other bands. They saw first hand what hard core drugs did
Yeah, in the mirror.
Dude, I was leaning in so hard when you guys were working out it was about drugs. Well done. This song is hands-down one of the biggest metal songs in history. Glad to see you guys cover it. Keep it up!
That middle section is when the drug takes hold and you're high, then it gets rougher as you feel withdrawal.
I can't believe no one said this earlier. That's exactly what the interlude is about, the bliss of a fix. Then the same exact progression is played again but with distortion, ie your world is coming down as you go into withdrawal.
This song is a masterpiece 🤘
I've had people listen to this for the first time. They would say they liked it! Had them listen to it again, then explain the interlude...... HEAD EXPLOIDS.....
Try "nothing else matters" next, the girl will like that much better.
Agree 👍👍👍
What will really blow your mind is that this album came out in 1986. Right in the middle of the drug epidemic. Every song on that album is just as powerful. It's one of the greatest metal albums ever . Every song on this album is awesome.
Fade to black, you won’t regret it
This is really wholesome. Seeing these reactions, it reminds me of how I wilded the fuck out when I got this cassette when I was a teenager. Shows that people of all cultures are really the fucking same when you strip away all the bullshit and we should all respect each other.
i've been listening to this album for DECADES, and i never knew this was about drugs...
in fairness though, i sing a long, and headbang, but i never really 'listen' to the lyrics and their meaning...
you guys, have made me appreciate this music i love, even more!
Me to me wife: he's so close! When the mirror line hits...
My wife: what?
My man: 🤯🤯🤯
Me: 😎
Wife: 🙄
Again, I am impressed by your open minds. It's great that you really went after the lyrics on this one because they are so critical to the effect of the song.
“Hell worth all that, natrual habitat.” Basically saying a drug addicts willingness to continue to going through the same hell of withdrawls and well the seediness of trying to get your next hit or being surrounded by the bad stuff associated with drugs.
i never would have thought i would like metal tbh just like y’all. but metallica legit changed my life and perspective on music please do more i’m telling y’all..
Why she so close minded just cause it’s metal? Metallica is fire 🔥
She starts to like it after a few Met reactions
She has a preconceived notion of metal so it's a tough start. In her defense, bands themselves often times put people off by going over the top with the dark image. I grew up in a religious family, so I know what it's like. It's a slow process for someone to have an open mind and listen to the lyrics without being creeped out. Fortunately, nothing about Metallica is overtly related to the occult. Can't say the same for all metal bands though.
I hate rap so it's a cultural thing...lol
My friend is really into jazz.so much of it just leaves me bored and irritated. You don't have to love or enjoy all music.
Yea I can't blame her, I can't stand rap myself I think it's boring and talentless but alot of people would disagree.
Things are not always as they seem. Thank you for actually giving this an honest "ear". All people could use this as an example for all aspects of life. The thing with metal is the instruments are just as important to the story the artist are telling as the lyrics are. Bravo.
You were two of the fastest reactors to understand the song, congrats!
The both of you are too damn cute, I love watching you both breaking down music that would otherwise be off your radar. Rheasia seems scared of this song. I give her props for making it through the whole song. It's amazing how Chris try's to get her to see the truth of the song and honestly feel the music from the artist perspective. You both rock!!! New fan & follower here. I've watched and liked several videos of the both of you reacting to music that is out of your comfort zone. You guys should listen to some of Beth Heart 💘
Guys, just seen this and utterly LOVE it!!! Long time Metallica fan, but seeing your reaction as you realise what the song is about is priceless!! Literally one of my all time favourite TH-cam videos. You do Metallica (and fans) proud. Amazing stuff - thank you!!!!
I'm glad you watched the lyrics video and really tried to understand what the song was about. Even though it was a totally different genre than you are used too. Stepping outside your comfort zone is dope. I'll second the request for Metallica, "One". Just don't do the official video, find another lyrics version. The official video has a movie cut into it that has thrown many reactors off. If you don't know why they chose that movie footage and the story behind it, you can get confused. New subscriber here. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Very sound advice.
Checkout "Sanitarium" form the Master of Puppets album. It's the smoothest, most buttery, easy listen on there. A real gem.
I would suggest Orion is perhaps even smoother and butterier...
@@ericdaure7964 orion is a masterpiece.
The transition from the fast to the slow back to the fast represents the high of drugs, the low, and your desire to get back to the high. The control it has over you.
Rock takes u on a journey while rap tells u a story. The rock music makes u feel it with lyrics back it up. Rap bars makes u feel it while the beat backs it up. Imho only.. lol
Exactly dude rock is more focused on the music while rap is more focused on the lyrics
@@neonzada To me, rap tells it how it is. It tells a story in a way, blatant and straight up. Rock is more about figuring out yourself what the lyrics mean, and they can mean a multitude of different things for different people
The guy is really smart, I'm appreaciating this!
This reaction is EPIC! Master of Puppets is my favorite Metallica song! When people find out what the meaning of it is it gets me more excited!
That smooth part was to signifying what your feeling when your high.
I love how things are clicking in Chris's mind with every verse.
This might be the best reaction ever. The genuine dislike of the music and fear in Rheasia's eyes is a great perspective, but to see Chris coming around and having a straight up awakening is just too much. I actually cried watching this. As a 46 year old man with a family, I can't tell you how many tough times this musice helped me through while I was growing up. Thanks for keeping it real once again!
Btw, notice how tired you got bopping around to this? Imagine playing that night every night.
As a metal and hip hop head, this made my day. Fkn thank y'all for this
First honest reaction I've seen to this song in a long time; love it!
My brother and sister, metal is my jam, but gangsta rap is too. My taste is so diversified, but, I must say, I love and appreciate your genuine reaction reviews. I’ve now seen a few of your reaction vids, and you guys are the best at it. I see you guys know the difference between hearing and listening. Most others piss me off, as they hear, but not listen.
Y’all both are going places in life, and I feel your philosophical views.
Metal ain’t devils music, just another personal way of getting a message across
Love how she blatantly says "crack". Lmao.
Some people: "metal is the devils music"
The devil's trill: "am I a joke to you?"
Blues in the background lifts it's head
Tartini fans wya
Very accurate interpretation of the lyrics.
It was refreshing to see you guys understand the whole message and it was an honest reaction.
Respect
