Guys!!! this is my favorite metallica song. Hey listen to Iron maiden- number of the beast!1 its wild and the video of it is really creative. Next react to sabaton- screaming eagles!
it blows me away to this day to see young people be blown away in the year 2020 by albums that blew our minds in the 80's/90's. I fucking love it! Music is life! \m/
@@juliegoodman7416 my 21 year old son has gotten’ into vinyl. He likes the 80’s “lighter” side . I introduced him to Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. He couldn’t’ t believe what he heard. He goes to trade school, puts on his favorites and GnR comes on. Now these are older teens, vary early 20,s. They say that’s what it’s what’s all about (pop radio). He says that his friends says that GnR is it. No offense but I told him, expose them to Metallica; then talk to me. He plays it for his classmates, they are speechless. As Stan Lee used to say ‘Nuff said,
He was an ambulance driver on the Italian front in WW1 (A Farewell To Arms), was a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War (For Whom The Bell Tolls), and WW2.
Metallica got the idea of this album after watching a movie called 'the ten commandments'.James told this alot of time fellas.The whole album is christian music.
I love watching a Metallica fan develop. It's like seeing an infant slowly coming of age. Master of puppets, flailing arms and legs, some slobber bubbles here and there. Next is One, you roll over on that belly and look at what's around you. Then Fade To Black, up on all fours and crawling around like champs. And now, For Whom The Bell Tolls. Standing on your own two feet, going from the place to place, pulling shit off the coffee table and going through kitchen cabinets. Time for your first day of school. Go now, young Metallica toddlers, and listen to Creeping Death. Look deep inside and try to grasp hold the riffs and changes throughout this epic song. God bless.
THEY MUSTTTTTTTTTTTT listen to creeping death ~live in Seattle 1989~ so good. Also I love telling people who are new to thrash that in the beginning to" for whom the bells tolls" that the bass is in the beginning, a lot of people dont realize it is a Bass! I've love Metallica since 1982 * I was 16)& Megadeth , Since Killing is my business. (1985 I was 19). I LOVEeeeeee your reactions, you two are just too cute!
I don't, there is nothing to decipher in any motörhead or metallica song, it's spelled out. There is nothing to interpret at all, it just means exactly what it says.
They were never the same after jason did a good job but they lost their realness they started just pumping out samey music instead of creating masterpieces
You should read "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Earnest Hemingway. Every single line in this song is a direct reference to that book. The song is all about the book. The men of Five are Sordos men when they're ambushed by the fascists and they're forced to make their last stand on a hill bloodied, laughing insane, screaming insults
You must watch this song live! Also watch ONE music video! It's crazy! by the way watch creeping death live in seattle 1989! Love this video! Thank you guys!:-)
With all the division in this world I love what I'm seeing on the internet. Two rocking granny's, rappers listen to metal, and now you! Everyone learning about eachother. This kicks ass.
YAAAssss SIR, I’m old and very experienced in my musical choices and I love watching these guy experience it for the first time, makes me feel like I’m back in the late 80’s. Puts a big smile on my face that the younger peeps are giving Metal a chance, and getting it. I play it now and get the cops called on me to shut it off, before 9 pm. Can’t even play stuff on the beach anymore,get charged with Ear assault by some uptight fkn people.
Fun fact: The "bell" you hear? It's not a bell, it's a metal hammer striking an anvil. This was recorded in 1984, no Pro Tools back then so they had to do that shit from scratch back in the day.
I've struck some anvils throughout the years, never sounded anything like that. Since they have solid, brick like design, sound doesn't reverberate and last as long as with a bell like object. Same for hammers. It's more like a blink blink blink.
Steven Deible no it’s actually an anvil you can very easily google it, and also fun fact: if you separate the bass from the guitar during the first verse riff, you can clearly hear Cliff playing the wrong note over the guitar. You cant hear it in the song but its kinda funny to hear by itself.
@@lordcumulon In this video you can hear what striking an anvil sounds like. th-cam.com/video/HBzYv1tzgSc/w-d-xo.html Just because they said that they made the sound with an anvil, doesn't mean they did. Don't believe everything people say.
raifthemad I mean, you’re making a good point. You can very easily google what an anvil sounds like, but Flemming Rasmussen has already confirmed that it is in fact an anvil being hit by Lars himself. Granted, he does admit that its very likely that they added some type of effects to the sound in order to make it sound as big as it is. Heres what he says “We had an anvil in the studio, and Lars had to bang that; it could’ve been that or from a record of sound effects. But there was a really heavy, cast-iron anvil and a metal hammer, and we stuck them in an all-concrete room. He’d just go wang.” Heres the link to the whole interview. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/fighting-fire-with-fire-metallica-look-back-on-ride-the-lightning-243500/
I. Fucking. Love. How you kids were able to relate to my old metal shit with your groove hip vibe and get into it! Thank you for making me feel young again!
@Richard Skipper Oddly enough, the guerillas in FWTBT (the novel) were volunteering to fight as loyalists to a left-leaning republic, in a conglomeration of spanish republicans, anarchists, socialists, communists...
There’s a mistake in the lyrics. The video says- “take a look to the sky just before you die it’s the last time HE will” Correct lyrics are- “Take a look to the sky just before you die it’s the last time YOU will”
It's super annoying how a lot of these lyrics videos that people react to include mistakes in them. The mistakes usually aren't terribly significant, but sometimes they put stuff in there that just doesn't make sense, and then the people reacting to the music end up missing out on key stuff.
yeah most of these lyric videos are shit. It's funny, because Metallica puts all of their lyrics in their albums and online - don't know how you can mess that up.
Y’all should listen to Creeping Death. Probably 1991 in Moscow: there are over a million people that attended or 1993 in San Diego. Either way, they’re both great concerts
Maxbchr3 I love Seattle but I think the other two are better. I think they’d enjoy hearing 1 million people chant DIE. I don’t know of any other concert that had that many people.
I like how you’re not only reacting to the song, but the lyrics themselves and are trying to understand them and what the artist is trying to convey. I love that!
It's inspired by the book by Hernest Hemingway For Whom The Bell Tolls, an expression meaning when it's time to die for someone. The book is about the Spanish War and what a soldier is going trough.
The Late Great Stevie Ray Vaughn playing " Vodooo Chile " ( the one where wearing black ) there's nothing more satisfying then watching someone's react to Stevie Ray Vaughn for the first time. Do Stevie as series as your doing Metallica. Start with Vodoo Chile live then go to Texas Flood live the Presidential ceremony, then where ever else. The Great Stevie who was taken from us at a young just as he was ascending to the top of the music world. He died in Helicopter crash back in 1991. He was a shy humble man who just loved playing his guitar and playing blues music only to become the worlds most devastating guitarist ever. ( David Bowie describe Stevie playing as devastating ) RIP We miss you Stevie
Panama, Somalia, Sand Box, and a few other dust-ups... Metallica [and others] (By Walkman or Diskman) was companion and soundtrack. Dark is, as Dark does... Now I'm the "quiet old man" that gets doesn't take shit or give shit while getting along with most but trusting few. It's good enough, because some never got the chance to get this far. It's good to remember, but better to carry on. _SUA SPONTE_
For some legendary metal, check out Iron Maiden. Their music is like a history lesson that rocks and their singer is top shelf. "Aces High" "The Trooper' "Run To the Hills" "Flight Of Icarus".......etc., are all bangers that tell a historic tale. I bet you'll love it.
hey you two!! i love how you love to feel their lyrics and music, i been listening to metallica for 30+ years and their music and lyrics still blow me away till this day!!
"No man is an Island, intire of it selfe; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." Donne, 1624. That's what Hemingway used in the prologue of 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', written in 1939. The Spanish Civil War was an odd thing where basically it was socialists versus fascists... just before WWII kicked off, the soviets were backing the leftist Republican (nothing to do with ours, just 'loyal to the republic') forces and Franco's fascist/nationalist forces were backed by Germany. The latter were the ultimate winners, the Republicans being forced into the hills for guerilla fighting and tactics. A man by the name of El Sordo was performing a raid in support of a larger mission, and these 5 men were caught on a hilltop and surrounded. Fighting to the last, they shouted insults at the small plane that dropped the bomb... This is the song. That larger mission? Blow a bridge and sever a link the fascist forces... actually didn't even need any more. They'd already pushed through and around the area and were closing in on the main republican camp, so the fighters went and blew the bridge up anyways out of pride or out of some sense of mission. The book ends with the last man (an American, long story addressed in book) mortally wounded and laid out with his weapon waiting to ambush any troops that came by.
Listen/react to Metallica's instramental songs like: Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth (sitback and listen to the amazing bass solo from Cliff Burton); Call of Ktulu, Orion, or To Live is to Die (close your eyes and enjoy the ride).
I'm catching up on your reactions, I'm glad I watched them chronologically because it's quite funny how you evolved from being uncomfortable in the first reaction (especially Rheasia) and how you're really feeling the music now! I think most people don't like metal because they haven't really listened to it and their ears aren't used to it. It was definitely my case and I think it's the same for you guys. I like comparing metal with spicy food. It takes some getting used to, you can directly taste the heaviest music/hottest pepper and expect to like it, it needs to be progressive lol 😄
"Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time you will" That always hit me as a very strong reference to the War and Peace character Bolkonsky and the Austerlitz sky.
I LOVE seeing these! Unfortunately for me I came up from a time and place that this was all "angry crazy white boy music" and it wasn't even given a chance. So now when I see younger generations and multi cultured kids enjoying this stuff, I finally feel like YES! SEE! I've been trying to tell y'all this for 2 decades LMFAO. Enjoy it guys. Metallica is and always will be a staple in my music library. The first 3 albums before Cliff Burton are their absolute best work. The instrumental on Master of Puppets - Orion even won awards. Learn all of the first 3. These are albums you listen to from start to end without skipping or stopping.
Watching this is like me hearing it for the first time again. I first heard it back in 1988. Been a metal fan ever since. Thank you, guys. Great video.
You know they do a ton of their songs with the san francisco orchestra? Albums are S&M and S&M 2. Just insane to hear metallica with an orchestra. Its amazing
guys, this has been one of my favorite songs since it came out, ive listened to it thousands of times over the decades and i have no idea what all the words are and seeing the lyrics on your video the words i thought i knew were wrong....
Love y’all’s enthusiasm and energy. It’s rare to see real reactions and you both have an authenticity that come through the screen. I’d love to see you react to some puck rock like: Rancid - Tattoo Dropkick Murphys - Flanagan’s Ball Bad Religion- American Jesus (but there are better songs) NoFX - Dinosaurs Will Die Misfits - Where Eagles Dare You may want the lyric videos
lol. I love these two! He was cracking me up and she's adorable too. That's great. See we aren't all so different. It's really just a musical story from an old war movie. It was literally five soldiers on a hill against a massive force. It was just describing their despair, but they were still fighting, while facing certain death. Great song! I'm glad they could appreciate the lyrics. It's actually rap rhyming words, just to a different beat..
just stumbled across you guys and loving your journey into metal/rock music plus the way you try to understand what its about is awesome keep up the good work
I grew up with Metallica from starting to end I also grew up with old school hip hop which I still love to this day it is refreshing to see you guys reacting to Metallica
As a longtime music listener and enthusiastic metalhead, its great to see people who have not had the opportunity to be exposed to metal music or where metal was not culturally relevant enough to have reached their ears....to see them be open minded enough to give it a try and fall in love with the style is great. Metal transcends identity and sets ablaze the human spirit. Welcome Chris and Rheasia to if not the most agressively badassed rebellious and energized style of music known to our species. Heavy fuckin' metal! \m/ Iron strong community as well.
🔥C&R GANG WE LOVE Y’ALL💯🙏🏽IF NEW *SUBSCRIBE* AND JOIN THE FAMILY!! LIKE AND SHARE👏🏽WE TAKING OVER GANG😡🤘🏽‼️
Chris&RheasiaTv when is the rest of the unhelpful guide
Listen to this sucker with just the bass track isolated.
Cliff Burton was a machine.
Karla Pimentel Today at 4:00 P.M or EARLIER‼️❤️Stay TUNED
Stephen Adams 😂😂SUCKER MUCH LOVE🤟🏽‼️🔥
Guys!!! this is my favorite metallica song. Hey listen to Iron maiden- number of the beast!1 its wild and the video of it is really creative. Next react to sabaton- screaming eagles!
Everytime the bell tolls...a Metallica fan is born.
Best comment ever lol
story of my life
@Chazerz ur real legend
Hahaha yeah
Yes brother🤘
Metallica, stimulating young minds since the early '80's.
it blows me away to this day to see young people be blown away in the year 2020 by albums that blew our minds in the 80's/90's. I fucking love it! Music is life! \m/
its awesome
It has been interesting to what these 2 go from having the shit scared out of them by the first bit of Master of Puppets to crying "No" when its over.
this just warms my heart seeing the young people listening to Metallica for the first time and rocking out to it... Metallica are metal gods!!!
Not to brag but I am 18 and my mom a heavy rocker says I am a prodigy in music
🤘🏻🤘🏻

I was gonna say "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is an Ernest Hemingway novel. He was a veteran. He wrote a lot about war. So, this song is about war.
I'm pretty sure they got the concept from that novel maybe even read it
He was an ambulance driver on the Italian front in WW1 (A Farewell To Arms), was a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War (For Whom The Bell Tolls), and WW2.
I truly believe it’s about el sordos last stand from the novel

All I can say to that comment is “well played sir,” I kindly tip my hat to your awareness and suggestion.
@@jaybird455 I 2nd that!
Just to help prep'em.. The finals will include Orion, whiplash, battery & and justice for all :)
THEY MUSTTTTTTTTTTTT listen to creeping death ~live in Seattle 1989~ so good. Also I love telling people who are new to thrash that in the beginning to" for whom the bells tolls" that the bass is in the beginning, a lot of people dont realize it is a Bass!

@NMJ absolutely correct! Same with Orion. New listeners, or even plenty they are just not aware, don’t realize that’s bass guitar making that noise.
My favorite part was when they realized it was the end of the song and they were like "NOOO!!"
Big mood. I think we are all like that. IIRC, this song is forever unfinished, because of the passing of Cliff.
“This is it?!?”
No... No. There is sooo so much more.
I’m 180
ok
Theyre hooked metalheads for life
I think it's awesome you are actually trying to decipher the meanings of songs.
Billy! Is that you? Metallica fan to the end, awesome. Chode army represent
@@thomasgoosens9954 yup ;)
RIGHT
They want to play faster than any other man 🤘🤙
I don't, there is nothing to decipher in any motörhead or metallica song, it's spelled out. There is nothing to interpret at all, it just means exactly what it says.
RIP Cliff, still miss ya to this day.
There will never be another like him.
He will forever be missed in my mind
Those damned swedish roads.
Amen Bobby - most never truly realize that crazy ass guitar in the opening is actually a bassist!!!
He and Geddy Lee made me pick up my first bass.
From an oldschool metal head, much love for yall actually reading the lyrics to understand whats goin on. Real recognize real.
Subbed.
yeah that was pretty much my first reaction to the song
any metalheads here?
"The Thing That Should Not Be," a friend handed me his headphones... I wanted more!
The really cool part of this song is Cliff Burton playing the main riff on bass with a wah pedal. RIP brother. Your very missed.
Cliff da best..
He riffs on his bass god
Plus Cliffs bass had a bass pickup and a guitar pickup which gave him his unique sound, and those pedals made it sound that much more unique!
Cliff was great! People really enjoyed watching him play live, he was crazy on stage
They were never the same after jason did a good job but they lost their realness they started just pumping out samey music instead of creating masterpieces
@@aldworth33 they died when rob joined
Finally! I found a reaction channel that actually reacts instead of just sitting there. Keep up the good content
That´s right!!! I just keep coming back... Finally someone showing real emotions. That´s what I´ve felt all these years listening to Metallica
Agree! Chris is very smart!
You guys are so awesome
Enjoy the hell out of you guys doing this ! When are they gonna do the video from Russia? Their jaws will hit the floor !!
Y'all ever heard of No Life Shaq ?
He's the reason why you have people reacting to rock and metal
You should read "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Earnest Hemingway. Every single line in this song is a direct reference to that book. The song is all about the book.
The men of Five are Sordos men when they're ambushed by the fascists and they're forced to make their last stand on a hill bloodied, laughing insane, screaming insults
And the title was taken from a John Donne poem from the 17th century. There are deep dives with these lyrics.
You really expect that to happen.
You must watch this song live!
Also watch ONE music video! It's crazy!
by the way watch creeping death live in seattle 1989!
Love this video! Thank you guys!:-)
@@markmcmullan3351 Well, they're listening to the song so who knows...
I did not know any of this. Most excellent backstory.
The bass guitar is one of the most underrated instruments in a band, but it's one of the reasons why this song is so damn powerful
The bass is what the made the intro so sinister
With all the division in this world I love what I'm seeing on the internet. Two rocking granny's, rappers listen to metal, and now you! Everyone learning about eachother. This kicks ass.
I love it when the youngsters experience Metallica!! your reactions are priceless ❤
YAAAssss SIR, I’m old and very experienced in my musical choices and I love watching these guy experience it for the first time, makes me feel like I’m back in the late 80’s. Puts a big smile on my face that the younger peeps are giving Metal a chance, and getting it. I play it now and get the cops called on me to shut it off, before 9 pm. Can’t even play stuff on the beach anymore,get charged with Ear assault by some uptight fkn people.
I Will sit in Jail over not turning my stuff down, and the more they complain the louder it gets.
It's fun. Im old enough now, I get to introduce "my music" to my teenager and their friends👍 Napalm Death was fun, wish I'd had a camera for that one
I'm young but grew up with metal (well young, I'm 30), but I've been listening to Metalica since I was in the womb. I love watching people find metal
Moxie Who why did you say yaas
I've been listening to metallica for so long i sometimes forget how deep and wellcrafted these lyrics actually are.
right 30+ years of singing along you kind of forget the meaning because you have heard it sooo many times
Fun fact: The "bell" you hear? It's not a bell, it's a metal hammer striking an anvil. This was recorded in 1984, no Pro Tools back then so they had to do that shit from scratch back in the day.
I've struck some anvils throughout the years, never sounded anything like that. Since they have solid, brick like design, sound doesn't reverberate and last as long as with a bell like object. Same for hammers. It's more like a blink blink blink.
The "bell" is actually created by snapping the neck of the guitar. That solo in the intro is also a bass solo.
Steven Deible no it’s actually an anvil you can very easily google it, and also fun fact: if you separate the bass from the guitar during the first verse riff, you can clearly hear Cliff playing the wrong note over the guitar. You cant hear it in the song but its kinda funny to hear by itself.
@@lordcumulon In this video you can hear what striking an anvil sounds like.

It makes so happy to see the feels of a new generation experiencing the awesomeness of Metallica. Rock on y’all 😎
“If you don’t like this goin back shit gtf off!”😅. I absolutely love that u guys analyze the meanings of deep songs.
“Never ask for whom the bell tolls....it tolls for thee.” In other words, time comes to all of us eventually.
You should do the four horseman by Metallica it’s a great song
The Horsemen are here btw.....plague just came. Biblical.
One of my favorite jams man. Ultimate hype shit!
I agree with homeboy Pestilence has arrived!
Also y’all should do anything off the most recent as I lay dying album. Its really a banger cover to cover!
Demetrius Samuel he// yeah 😎. Awesome choice!!!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻
mechanix by megadeth is better
I. Fucking. Love. How you kids were able to relate to my old metal shit with your groove hip vibe and get into it! Thank you for making me feel young again!
I CANNOT BREATHE!!!!!
I stand beside all my brothers and sisters. This BRUTALITY MUST END!!!
I CANNOT BREATHE!!!
I’ve never seen anyone dance like that to Metallica before lol. Great reaction!
They are Soldiers!!! Press on even knowing death awaits! The Bell tolls for the Dead!!!
@Richard Skipper Oddly enough, the guerillas in FWTBT (the novel) were volunteering to fight as loyalists to a left-leaning republic, in a conglomeration of spanish republicans, anarchists, socialists, communists...
This is a dope reaction haha. Do the 4 horsemen hy metallica. Blow your mind
Disposable Heroes as well in this vein
Or creeping death
Good pick. It has a lot of parts and is never not awesome.
One of the best metallica songs ever made and then leads into megadeth- mechanix. Essentially the same song but by 2 different bands
Lyric video
There’s a mistake in the lyrics.
The video says-
“take a look to the sky just before you die it’s the last time HE will”
Correct lyrics are-
“Take a look to the sky just before you die it’s the last time YOU will”
It's super annoying how a lot of these lyrics videos that people react to include mistakes in them. The mistakes usually aren't terribly significant, but sometimes they put stuff in there that just doesn't make sense, and then the people reacting to the music end up missing out on key stuff.
That's my favorite part, too smh
It's beyond me how whoever made this video could fuck up the most iconic part of the lyrics.
yeah most of these lyric videos are shit. It's funny, because Metallica puts all of their lyrics in their albums and online - don't know how you can mess that up.
this shit has me weak lmfaooo I've been listening to metallica, and megadeth forever and watching this is gold you guys are hilarious
this will forever be the best genre of music
No doubt about it! lml
\m/
Nah
Y’all should listen to Creeping Death. Probably 1991 in Moscow: there are over a million people that attended or 1993 in San Diego. Either way, they’re both great concerts
The San Diego show is 92
Creeping death in Seattle!
HELL YESSSS!!!
Maxbchr3 I love Seattle but I think the other two are better. I think they’d enjoy hearing 1 million people chant DIE. I don’t know of any other concert that had that many people.
Chayton Wall Sadly Rod Stewart has the record with 3.4 million in Rio De Janeiro in 1994 for New Years. Trust me it hurts my soul to say that lol.
I like how you’re not only reacting to the song, but the lyrics themselves and are trying to understand them and what the artist is trying to convey. I love that!
You guys need to watch the Cliff em all version of this song if you really wanna be blown away. Cliff Burton, their original bassist was a genius
Cliff wasn't their original bassist. It was actually Ron McGovney from '81 to '82. Cliff Burton replaced him after he quit
Jason is a amazing bassist in his own right.
@@DamionJR4923 damn right he was
I NEVER picked up on the PTSD interpretation of this song, you guys have just shown me this piece in a whole new light! :D
It's inspired by the book by Hernest Hemingway For Whom The Bell Tolls, an expression meaning when it's time to die for someone. The book is about the Spanish War and what a soldier is going trough.
I've not even started yet and I know this is going to be good
CRUSTY COBB GANG🤟🏽🔥‼️💯
If u liked this you'll LOVVVE War Pigs by Black Sabbath
this ^, do "war pigs live 1970" reaction
DO IIIIIT. So good.
if we are talking about war songs i have to throw scream aim fire from bullet for my valentine in.
Lol sweet leaf.
th-cam.com/video/r974p1CEEO0/w-d-xo.html
They did it!!!
I love how yall said no when it was ending bc you wanted more.. love it.. u guys have genuine reactions love it
I love that you two care about the lyrics and the true meaning!
The Late Great Stevie Ray Vaughn playing " Vodooo Chile " ( the one where wearing black ) there's nothing more satisfying then watching someone's react to Stevie Ray Vaughn for the first time. Do Stevie as series as your doing Metallica. Start with Vodoo Chile live then go to Texas Flood live the Presidential ceremony, then where ever else. The Great Stevie who was taken from us at a young just as he was ascending to the top of the music world. He died in Helicopter crash back in 1991. He was a shy humble man who just loved playing his guitar and playing blues music only to become the worlds most devastating guitarist ever. ( David Bowie describe Stevie playing as devastating )
RIP We miss you Stevie
best reaction was both shouting NO when you knew the song was almost over and you wanted more
When did they say no
they died on the battle field, "take a look to the sky just before you die, its the last time he will"
Watching these two light up as the decipher this intelligent,artistic metal is a joy to behold!🎸🎶👏🏿👊
thank you guys for understanding and listening to what they sing about. Its always deeper with Metallica
''Metallica - Spit out the bone'' is a great one from they last Album
Imagine THAT...but...in a four cylinder vehicle and screaming "YEAH!!!"
🔥 yes sir y’all come with that energy
Marker dog 15 GANG 🔥💯‼️
Facts! Theyre gonna blow up in no time.
This is from the time when Metallica was just savage!
Love me some Merallica. Im a Persian Gulf War Vet, the lyrics hit so close to home for me
Panama, Somalia, Sand Box, and a few other dust-ups... Metallica [and others] (By Walkman or Diskman) was companion and soundtrack. Dark is, as Dark does...

"Aces High"
"The Trooper'
"Run To the Hills"
"Flight Of Icarus".......etc., are all bangers that tell a historic tale. I bet you'll love it.
Holy wars

hey you two!! i love how you love to feel their lyrics and music, i been listening to metallica for 30+ years and their music and lyrics still blow me away till this day!!
I really like your reaction guys, keep up the good work, peace and love from a metalhead from the far east 🖤🖤😈🤘🏽🤘🏽
Love the enthusiasm! So good to see everyone enjoying music! It’s the universal language!
Subscribe to your channel because of this!
Also I had to like my own comment 😂
"No man is an Island, intire of it selfe;
every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were,
as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were;
any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." Donne, 1624.
That's what Hemingway used in the prologue of 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', written in 1939. The Spanish Civil War was an odd thing where basically it was socialists versus fascists... just before WWII kicked off, the soviets were backing the leftist Republican (nothing to do with ours, just 'loyal to the republic') forces and Franco's fascist/nationalist forces were backed by Germany. The latter were the ultimate winners, the Republicans being forced into the hills for guerilla fighting and tactics.
A man by the name of El Sordo was performing a raid in support of a larger mission, and these 5 men were caught on a hilltop and surrounded. Fighting to the last, they shouted insults at the small plane that dropped the bomb... This is the song.
That larger mission? Blow a bridge and sever a link the fascist forces... actually didn't even need any more. They'd already pushed through and around the area and were closing in on the main republican camp, so the fighters went and blew the bridge up anyways out of pride or out of some sense of mission. The book ends with the last man (an American, long story addressed in book) mortally wounded and laid out with his weapon waiting to ambush any troops that came by.
originally from john donne, meditation 17
I was going to mention that the song is at least partly based on Hemingway’s novel.
Thank you!
Wow! That was awesome. Thank you for taking the time to drop some knowledge on us. Very much appreciated...
Boom. I love it. Thank you for posting
Listen/react to Metallica's instramental songs like: Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth (sitback and listen to the amazing bass solo from Cliff Burton); Call of Ktulu, Orion, or To Live is to Die (close your eyes and enjoy the ride).
The words "bass solo. Take one." Give me goose bumps every time.
I'm catching up on your reactions, I'm glad I watched them chronologically because it's quite funny how you evolved from being uncomfortable in the first reaction (especially Rheasia) and how you're really feeling the music now! I think most people don't like metal because they haven't really listened to it and their ears aren't used to it. It was definitely my case and I think it's the same for you guys. I like comparing metal with spicy food. It takes some getting used to, you can directly taste the heaviest music/hottest pepper and expect to like it, it needs to be progressive lol 😄
your joy in this music is so pure and beautiful.
I love yall energy so much haha. Never give up good folks!!
"Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will"
That always hit me as a very strong reference to the War and Peace character Bolkonsky and the Austerlitz sky.
For me it was like...when you're on your back,bleeding out and the last thing you will see it's the sky...
I LOVE seeing these! Unfortunately for me I came up from a time and place that this was all "angry crazy white boy music" and it wasn't even given a chance. So now when I see younger generations and multi cultured kids enjoying this stuff, I finally feel like YES! SEE! I've been trying to tell y'all this for 2 decades LMFAO. Enjoy it guys. Metallica is and always will be a staple in my music library. The first 3 albums before Cliff Burton are their absolute best work. The instrumental on Master of Puppets - Orion even won awards. Learn all of the first 3. These are albums you listen to from start to end without skipping or stopping.
TIME MARCHES ON
I love that you guys diagnose the lyrics! You guys pretty much get it dead on too.
It must be awesome to hear the stuff for the first time some of us been hearing these for 30 years and still love it
Got you again! Never ends brothers ! Metallica has a whole pile of them !
System of a down..."Chop Suey"!
This 1,000,000%
BYOB
Please y'all do more Pantera!!! 5 minutes alone , this love, Walk, 25 years, regular people, Planet Caravan, etc.
Watching this is like me hearing it for the first time again. I first heard it back in 1988. Been a metal fan ever since. Thank you, guys. Great video.
It’s so good to see your enthusiasm and your commitment to understand. Really, you’re a very refreshing pair of hosts!
METALLICA-CREEPING DEATH(LIVE)..
PANTERA-DOMINATION(LIVE)
His face tho, I believe thats the face we all make when Kirk and James let loose for the first time
You know they do a ton of their songs with the san francisco orchestra? Albums are S&M and S&M 2. Just insane to hear metallica with an orchestra. Its amazing
guys, this has been one of my favorite songs since it came out, ive listened to it thousands of times over the decades and i have no idea what all the words are and seeing the lyrics on your video the words i thought i knew were wrong....
U guys are awesome! Opening up to different genres of music and getting enveloped into the music and lyrics
Love y’all’s enthusiasm and energy. It’s rare to see real reactions and you both have an authenticity that come through the screen.
I’d love to see you react to some puck rock like:
Rancid - Tattoo
Dropkick Murphys - Flanagan’s Ball
Bad Religion- American Jesus (but there are better songs)
NoFX - Dinosaurs Will Die
Misfits - Where Eagles Dare
You may want the lyric videos
This song is about the fall of modern warfare
From the book by Ernest Hemingway
Do creeping death,and disposable heroes next!😛love ya all and your reactions!
It does my heart good to see people enthusiastically enjoying stuff like music.
I really appreciate the lyric analysis. It's refreshing from reaction channels
"Hail to the King" Avenged 7Fold
Donna Ransom YESSS
Absolutely, Chris and Rheasia should definitely do a reaction to "Hail To The King" by Avenged Sevenfold
The opening scene of Zombieland with this song was EPIC!
lol. I love these two! He was cracking me up and she's adorable too. That's great. See we aren't all so different. It's really just a musical story from an old war movie. It was literally five soldiers on a hill against a massive force. It was just describing their despair, but they were still fighting, while facing certain death. Great song! I'm glad they could appreciate the lyrics. It's actually rap rhyming words, just to a different beat..
Im 18. And im listening to what my dad listened in his 20's. Proof that Metallica gave us a contagious feeling for another bang on the drums
just stumbled across you guys and loving your journey into metal/rock music plus the way you try to understand what its about is awesome keep up the good work
We need Disposable Heroes!! Nice reaction
Came here to say this!
Hail to the king: Avenged sevenfold
React to Metallica "one" video....I know you did a lyric reaction. The Video wil make more sense
Awe man .... LMFAO!... YOU GUYS ARE STRAIT UP AWESOME!. I love your passion for the meaning and feelings of these songs! ✊ Hell yeah
I grew up with Metallica from starting to end I also grew up with old school hip hop which I still love to this day it is refreshing to see you guys reacting to Metallica
guys, It's rad when you find a cool grove, it's like listening in a different way
They dance like they are hearing..a rap song..mmm quite disturbing..
bill s213 screw you not everyone can understand something new. Let them jam into something they’ve never heard of
@@krow4249 of course they can express the way they want in my point of view it seems as i comment above and be polite peace!
@@krow4249 in metal you get points for being disturbing, welcome to the rabbit hole
Loved the end “Noooooo” Lol 😂 true Metallica fans ❤️
Funniest Metallica reaction ever. Hands down. Holy fuck lol
Real tears
Y'all are serious relationship goals. Your videos make my day. Thanks being so open minded. Its so refreshing
Really enjoying this channel. Dude is smart and feels the music and lyrics as a whole
This song is about soldiers in Spanish civil war. There is a book also, called for whom the bells tolls
Lamb of God “Memento Mori”
Lamb of God”512”
Lamb of God “Omerta “
I'd say Momento Mori, Walk With Me In Hell, and 11th Hour or Laid To Rest
I think they would like Ghost Walking
20 years worth of gems to choose from. “Descending “ “Grace” “Black Label”... can’t really go wrong. 🤘🏽
Are you going to copy-paste this onto every fucking video?
Well, those are the songs I would like to see reactions to. So I request them on each video I watch.
Metallica for whom the bell tolls is about troops put into a battle ground in war teams or 5 men fighting together for a pointless political war‼️🤟
just binge watched some of your vids..loving you guys. Metallica pack leader for sure..
As a longtime music listener and enthusiastic metalhead, its great to see people who have not had the opportunity to be exposed to metal music or where metal was not culturally relevant enough to have reached their ears....to see them be open minded enough to give it a try and fall in love with the style is great. Metal transcends identity and sets ablaze the human spirit. Welcome Chris and Rheasia to if not the most agressively badassed rebellious and energized style of music known to our species. Heavy fuckin' metal! \m/ Iron strong community as well.
