Lex is now using terms like "elaborate schemes" and "very technical" in describing Metallica's music. Love it! Her guitar/violin comparison is genius. After really listening to it, I hear it 100%. Thx for all of these Metallica reactions, fans really appreciate it.
"guitar/violin comparison" James master downpicking
@@ChicagoTRS yeah htf does he down pick so fast!
it's the tone of the distortion on those muted notes... it sounds like when a violinist is going nuts on the low end of the violin, super fast.. I hear what she hears too
@@ChicagoTRS also, one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He wrote pretty much every riff and melody, Kirk mainly just did leads and stuff.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 Hetfield is only underrated by most Megadeth fans, hes a monster imo
Love how your videos start right up, no BS for 5 minutes. Keep grinding!
1000% AGREE!!
Take this like
Yes I totally agree. But this is such an intense song that it can just overwelm you. So Hard. It's insane. And the lyrics just dig at your soul. Great video. 😁🥃🥃🚬🙏👍🧐
To be honest that is how I did get in love with their Chanel and then I watched few videos and I have to subscribe because they are both awesome. Please do me a favor and go check this song on UA-cam from the mix that Alex Tamulis did the title is "Metallica-Dyers Eve(Loud Bass by Jason Newsted) it is so much better version with properly bass mix we all know what Lars and James did to Jason on this excellent album... Trust me you will all love this song even more after hearing that mix 🤘🏻😎
For real
James had quite a hard upbringing... His father bailed when he was a kid. I cannot remember what age he was, but he was still a kid. And he was brought up in a Christian Science home. Where they didn't believe in doctors and god would cure anything if we just pray... Well, James' mother got cancer when James was 17... Needless to say, the praying didn't do much to slow down the disease. And his mother promptly died of it when he was 17. There is a lot of this pain reflected on various songs in the Metallica discography and this is one of the clearest example of this. That must have sucked to have that happen to him at such an early age too. Needless to say that James isn't a big fan of this Christian Science thing... Which basically killed his mom.
But apart from all that pain at the core of this song, man this is one hell of a banger. One of the quickest things to exist without it collapsing into just chaos and noise...
his dad did not bail, he was a preacher in that religion and was strict, not sure where the bail thing came from. like he been involved with the whole band from the get.
@@randyreynolds4252 no he was not, his dad was a truck driver... Just checked on the Internet, it's been a while since I last really learned of this stuff. His parents divorced when James was 12. And his mom died when he was 16.
The bailing thing came from James himself. In a year and a half in the life of Metallica, James talks about it. The unforgiven is part of not forgiving his dad for leaving and having him feel unwanted when he was a kid. Then his mom died and he felt like everyone was leaving him in his life. His dad came back into the picture after his mom passed.
No, this isn't even close to being the fastest comprehensible song lolol. Metallica fanboys I swear.... They are pioneers not goats. They are severely overrated when bands like Sepultura and Venom were already doing the trashy thing. Metallica started out more as a punk band.
@@keithgraham8588 and then became one of the best and richest heavy/thrash metal band 😉
This is about James growing up a Christian Scientist, it’s not the only example in their career.
The god that failed is a great softer counterpart to This song
@@mcblocks123 Yup and is one of the ones I was thinking about.
Imagine having parents like that senile Biiiden.
Remember what hos daughter wrote about him....in the showers....
in the song momma he writes " momma she has taught me well, told me when i was young, son your life is an open book, dont close before its done". dyers eve is not actually about the christian thing in general. its about him being christian and not being able to connect with others due to the belief. its not about how his parents were. he regrets not spending more time with his mom. most think his parents were hard core religious nuts.
@@itstheotherwhitemeat No, James has outright said in interviews both Dyers Eve and The God that Failed are directly about Christian Science. Just because he feels different in maturity and decades later write a more positive song doesn’t change where he was and what he felt in the 80’s when writing Dyers Eve.
And his parents were hardcore religious nuts, you keep saying Christian, but it’s not mainstream Christianity, it is Christian Science which is both a cult, and the cause of his mother’s death.
This song marked an end of a legendary era. Couldn’t even imagine being there to witness it.
I was 17 when this album came out. Saw them twice on the Justice tour and their energy was unstoppable.
@@heavysoul4862 agreed! I was in high school when this came out and have seen them 16 times- AJFA was my first time seeing them! Never been to another concert since then that has even been close to having the same energy. Best of times!
@@jeffvolpe4117 My first Metallica experience was in 1986 in Evansville, Indiana. They were supposed to open for Ozzy but Hetfield broke his arm that same day. I didn't really know who they were, had only heard a couple of their songs. I remember two of the guys walking on stage and saying they wouldn't be able to play. I didn't realize until a few days later when I got the Master of Puppets cassette that it was Lars & Cliff. This was about two months before he died.
@@heavysoul4862 Wow, amazing story and memory you will always have! I got to see them in Kansas City in 92 at Monsters of Rock after Hetfield burned himself in Toronto. He didn’t play guitar all night but then came out for the last encore and played guitar for Enter Sandman- that was epic. Then had to wait 2 hours for G n’ R to come out but that time in between bands was the craziest thingI have ever witnessed at a concert- look it up! I have tix to Rockville in Daytona on the last day Nov 16 and can’t wait!Thanks for sharing your experience!
It was incredible, I was a junior in hs & I couldn't fkn believe ' One ' had made it onto the radio! We had this bizarre teacher for World Geography who was about 50yrs old& dressed like a cowboy, lived w/his mom & would routinely cry in class ( yeah, he was special alright🤗). Well, for some reason he thought we should see th MTV video awards & One was on there. He started & stopped it b/c he hated it & thought it was disturbing! He let us watch Sweet Child of Mine which was fine although th radio had worn that shit out back then. This guy was sooo nuts & unstable, I daydreamed & cheated th entire year & it wasn't until right before finals, 3 of us got caught cheating! Man, he screamed, threatened us & started crying again😅. He swore we would not be able to cheat on th upcoming final, that he wouldn't take his eyes off us! Well, I'm like...I'm f*cked, I'm failing this mthrfckr big time! It turned out like a miracle, dude had a nervous breakdown & missed th rest of school yr right before finals! His replacement was a guy who looked 80 & couldn't see 10 ft in front of himself! We looked @ each other & began cheating our asses off😁. He never looked up from his desk @ all. I was like " Thank you Jesus!!!" Oh sorry, I'm reminiscing about th good old days & AJ4A is my fav Metallica album by far!🍻
James Hetfield of Metallica wrote this aroun 1988 for their 4th album... See, he didn't write personal lyrics about his past before. But that changed after his friend & Metallica bassist Cliff Burton was killed in a tour bus accident in 1986.
Already traumatized by loss in his life, Burton's death pushed Hetfield into revisiting his early traumas growing up...
His parents were devoted to Christian science, where doctors & medicine were forbidden... When he got sick as a child, he had to suffer in silence. Abuse in his home was routine... he and his sister fought constantly. He was cast out amongst kids in his school.
Then, his father disappeared - his parents divorced... his mom was already overwhelmed w/ her responsibilities, when she was diagnosed w/ cancer while Hetfield was a teen. She refused treatment because of her beliefs... and she died soon after. That abandonment he experienced as a minor was a bitter, tough experience growing up.
Hetfield & his sister were passed to an older brother... his sister was soon kicked out... Hetfield left when he turned 18 to try make it as a musician. He was 19 when he met Lars Ulrich in '81 & formed Metallica.
"Dyers' Eve" was Hetfield lashing out against his parents... Anyone (like me) who has been betrayed & abused under their parents' care can relate. I've known too many people raised by parents, who were either abused sexually or physically. Some people should not have children...
the god that failed seems to be a continuation of this
I feel this IS their best album and ALL that anger of Cliffs death is put into this and Jason who without him taking it we prob wouldnt have the metallica we have.
James grew up under the strict “dictatorship” of his parents who were Christian Science . His mum died from cancer who didn’t want to get any medication to treat her illness.
It's actually a lot more than that. James was also very sheltered as a child, and was never taught how to be a man, or to think for himself. He always resented his parents, one way or another. They always hid him from anything pertaining to real life, and by the time he became independent, he was literally in the shock and fear of his life of the world in front of him. He has no idea how to react to it or what to think. He felt like he was literally held back from life.
The God That Failed is the result.
@Ruben Tullenaar - spot on mate, Papa Het holds nothing but distain for religion as a whole...refer to "Leper Messiah" \m/>
@@impalethenazarene really? have you seen his tattoos? he has at least 4 very religious tattoos
@@chirpka11 That's post rehab. During his stay in 2001 he really confronted a lot of his life prior to that point and it seems he has come to *some* kind of spirituality - Given he has a tattoo of St. Michael I would assume Catholicism or a belief system akin to it?
Brad "I wonder what that songs about". James 🗣️"Dear mother, dear father
What is this hell you have put me through"🤘💯🔥
Yeah man, its SO OBVIOUS 🤣
Cant believe he said that haha
I think he means what are the specific circumstances. He gets what the song is about in general. That much is obvious.
@@dan0nada754 every damn song....
AJFA is my favourite Metallica album and Dyers Eve is an amazing outro to this amazing album
I love how the album starts with the slow intro of Blackened and ends suddenly at the end of this
AJFA is My fave Metallica album too. Love them all but my opinion “one” is the GOAT of metal songs
@@voodoocustompickups2547 Concert started the same way. Fucking awesome
Totally agree 👍🏼
The whole AJFA album is fire...not one bad song. I can listen from beginning to end and enjoy every song.
My opinion only obviously, but and.justice.for.all is probably the greatest overall metal album ever
Yeah, it's always a toss between AJFA and MoP, but Justice always edges ahead
I agree. Its their most technical musically and thoughtful socailly/politically album imo. And if you can get the rare club pressing it actually has decent bass.
You just have to do “To Live Is To Die” - a Metallica song like no other.
I was just thinking the same thing!
My mom and I had to share a stereo when this album came out in 88 and so we'd listen to one of her 💿 which was usually Randy Travis(forever and ever amen) and then when it was my turn I played this album and with this song I had her read along with the lyrics, 2 weeks later I was in charter hospital for "depression". She kinda missed the point i was trying to make. I just wanted a drum set
😂
🎉
I LOVE Lex’s perspectives and almost natural insight. I’ve been listening to metal since the 80’s, am a massive Metallica fan, and have never heard the violin comparison. But as soon as you said it, I could definitely hear it. Amazing set of ears on ya, girl.
love double pedals in Dyers Eve
Yeah but doubt Lars can kick it like that live anymore,
@@mikeboi4870 He can't.
@@sadsadasdsadasdsadas He did it while on the St. Anger tour in Europe. One of the songs they were toying with the release of the next album (which ended up being Death Magnetic) he double basses for a good length of the song. Look up "Death is not the End"
@@ericbrenner690 Lars has never played the double bass parts in dyers eve in a live gig. Sure he can play double bass for a 'long' period times, like the ending of Fade to black, but thats different.
If you want to see the best drumming of "Dyer's Eve" by a You Tuber, check out 'Ami Kim.' She knocks out the entire song without missing a beat or breaking a sweat. She has a camera on her double-kick which made my jaw drop.
One of my favorite Metallica songs ever!! I can listen to this over and over.
When Lex described the fast riff sounding like a violin i was like "thank god im not the only one!" ive always thought it sounded like a cello (a rather large violin lol).
I said the same thing! I Listened to this album from the very first day it came out and never equated it like she did…. And she’s right!
You should try some " suicidal tendencies " Maybe " how will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today" or " you can't bring me down " ?
This is a banger! Great job!
My favorite Metallica album.
'Shortest straw' should be next, but I know Brad is going to love 'harvester of sorrow'.
Then you should do 'to live is to die'
Keep it up! 🤘🏽
One of my favorite Metallica tunes, I didn't have a super shitty parent experience, but I love the intensity, the rage... And that lead break is up there!
I always loved how when the guitar slows, the double bass drums pick it up. Such a well written piece
Love it when Lex gets into metal
James' rythem on this sounds like a sweet running chainsaw to me. Try-The God That Failed-next.
James really made lemonade out of those lemons life gave him.
Love the violin observation. I always thought this sound sounded like violins too! Everyone points out about the Christian thing, but James (the vocalist and main song writer of the band) Dad abandoned his family when he was like 12 or 13 and then his mom died of cancer when he was 16. His moms religion doesnt believe in medical science, so she withered away and died from the cancer without ever going to the hospital and getting treated for it. He then moved around to live with other family members like his older brothers after she passed away when he was 16. It could be about all of that, seems pretty rough.
“Ripping wounds in me that never heal”!!!
Lex is awesome! You can tell she genuinely likes this music! I loved watching her specially when the guitar solo happened, her eyes lightened up. Excellent job lex!
I'm blown away by Lex's musical ear. Metal is most similar to Classical music, despite that seeming counter-intuitive. So when she says the guitar is like a violin, she's exactly right! Well done!!
A song I think you'd really enjoy is " The day that never comes" but you need to watch the live version in Nimes France!! The song has a strong meaning and some fantastic guitar playing. That and Spit out the bone are my two favorite modern Metallica songs
This whole album is a masterpiece! One of their best!
This album was after Cliff was killed and they purposefully diminished if not totally muted Jason Newsteds bass lines. This album is all about impotent rage.
I have been a Metallica fan since 83 but I don't want to listen anymore without watching Lex.
Their Justice tour in 88’ was my first concert.
Brad is so thoughtful when it comes to lyric interpretation and I'm here for it.
I want a reaction of Gojira's Low Lands to hear him wax philosophical about Joe and Mario losing their mother.
Dyer's Eve is the hardest, most aggressive, most badass song Metallica has ever done and will ever do. And I f ing love it!
Some of us were beaten as kids like we were our parents worst enemy.
Some of us listen to this song and those feelings and that rage all comes back.
Some of us have walked away from our parents and never want to see them again.
This song is about that.
My favorite Metallica song, they didn’t play this live for over a decade after AJFA came out and they never played it much live but this is one of the songs that they now can’t perform live because of the difficulty. Thanks for reacting! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Lex is the only thing in this dying planet who deserve to save. Her smile save my days.
For me, this is James' masterpiece. Letting out everything he could, built up after years of anguish, and then cliffs passing. It is such an underrated song because its so fast, but lex was right, its like violins, and its incredible. The only solo that i think competes with Ride's as well. I dunno, this song is close to my perfect metal song.
Greatest album of the greatest band ever! Born in the fires 🔥 of pain and loss as Cliff Burton died prior to the album… that’s why you feel the anger, the rage, pain in the music… they funneled that from their souls into the album… if you listen to live is to die you can feel James Hetfields lament
I comment on your posts a lot......I grew up listening to Metallica endlessly (I feel lucky that I grew up with their music as I saw it as a good friend). I loved this thrashing song with exploding emotion very much. But I was also lucky to have great parents.
I have listened to Metallica for 30 years and never have I heard a more perfect description of the guitar than that it sounds like a violin. Thank you.
I'm a Lil older (48) Metallica was my savior I found my voice and this song I actually wrote the lyrics to the song to help give me a voice to my parents and it helped. They are not only a great band but helped a lot of people.
Metallica kicks so much ass. This is my favorite song and I think you guys have a good feel for it.
Interesting Lex should say that about violins, a band of four cello players called Apocalyptica first made their name doing instrumental covers of Metallica.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
You can't give this girl enough guitar solos
They essentially reached the pinnacle of technical thrash metal with this album - there wasn’t anything left to prove and their next album (The Black Album) showed a marked change in direction for their music - slower songs, fewer complex rhythms - a much more approachable style and it resulted in huge record sales, a tour that lasted years, and them really becoming household names.
Oh ma gawd. Didn’t expect this one
Excellent reaction guys, love it
One of Metallica’s best songs ever. I can relate to this one so much
YES! Thank you thank you for doing this often overlooked song that I love!
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs
Suggest reaction on: Harvester of Sorrow and Sad but True, both by Metallica
Brad you need to take her to a Metallica concert. Period😄
drum insanity, 300 BPM during "Dear mother Dear father"...
Saw them on Justice tour in 89 in Pittsburgh. I was 14 - have seen them many times since. That show is still to this day the best live show I’ve ever seen. Great memory!!
Queensryche live in Tokyo, the song is called "Take Hold of the Flame."
The best song off of "And Justice for All". You can't change my mind.
Hard one man this and eye f the beholder super underrated tbh
This is my favourite Metallica song, I think they were at the top professionally when they wrote Dyers eve.
"And Justice for all" for me probably their best EP ever
Justice rtl and mop are untouchable
Do some stuff from their first album like The Four Horsemen, Phantom Lord, Blitzkrieg, Motorbreath, etc
Since Brad always seems to need to know the "meaning" of a song (even when there isn't one), don't let him react to Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit".....he might walk out of the room LOL
Lex's reactions always rock.......she really knows how to enjoy music
Rebellion as a teenager opening your eyes to the world they are experiencing as an awakening.
Ayye tbh, thank god for Brad and Lex. I love them lol!
Instant like before I even start the video. Wooo let's go
Do some research guys. James Hetfield’s father walked out when he was 13 and his mother died when he was 16, due to her religious beliefs not allowing her to receive any treatment. He was brought up in a strictly religious household and never allowed to stray from the herd. That’s what the song is about. Not just some kid having a teenage tantrum 😉👍
The double picking galloping thrash sound is pretty cool.
Amazing music and lex is chilling once again
Lexi so gets it! She listens and appreciates the brilliance! Her motions at 2:43 prove she knows what she is hearing and she has deconstructed it mentally. What a shred listener she is. Great job Lexi!
This album was the pinnacle of Metallica's thrash, even though they crucified the bass on it, it's still my favourite Metallica album. The live version of Harvester of Sorrow is a must...
Masterpiece, 🤟🏻
The violin comparison is spot on now that I think about it.
I don't care for the Lulu album but everything else Metallica has done I'm a true fan. I have come to appreciate everything else they have done.
this is my favorite metallica song
That song is the epitome of what Metallica was. Pure anger. Speed. Polarizing.
The definition of thrash... heavy, fast and angry.
Her smile when the solo came on...love it
This is one is probably the most hardest for drums , specially the beginning where the tempo keeps changing
Wait a damn minute! You CANNOT listen to "Dyer's Eve", before listening to "To Live Is To Die" those two songs must always be played together. They even do that on the radio..... Just saying.
Unlucky me that never caught it playing on radio...
...Actually, I think I never heard Metallica on radio at all :/
@@arthurgabriel4325 really? They play Metallica on the classic rock station here all the time. Also, we have mandatory Metallica every night at midnight.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 I don't recall ever hearing either on any mainstream radio. First Metallica that made the radio from what I recall was "One". Or maybe even "Enter Sandman". It's been a while. But I do agree, "To Live is to Die" is a MUST.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 Yep, I'm from San Diego and the rock station used to play Mandatory Metallica M-TH at 8 pm. I haven't lived in San Diego since 2009 so they might still do so.
Never heard anything from the first 4 albums on the radio ever
Cannot cope without you two.....that's such a heartbreaking line, he imagines them being together when he opens his heart up to the world and to his dead parents.
One of my all time favorite Metallica songs ... Truly badass
Shortest Straw and To Live is to Die are other good ones off this album
Just gonna go ahead and say it….. Lex is SupaFly!!! Brad you got yourself a Unicorn.
Great reaction you two
I agree with Lex the guitar on this has always sounded like a violin to me as well.
One of my favorites! This track follows right after Fight Fire with Fire in my workout playlist!
That " Justice " album, ya have to run through it many times to absorb it , we cranked that over & over at our party house, plus Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Queensryche, Ozzy, Jeff Becks ' Guitar Shop's, lots of hair metal, sleaze metal , ( skid row, faster Pussycat, salty dog, love /hate, L.A. guns, all the shit ) !
And justice for all album is the most rawness enduring of energy with some vicious word and meaning in a masterpiece of an album, you should listen to all of it!!!!!!
That is Lars the drummers feet making the low beat sound with both his feet! He's flying!!!!
The sound your hearing is due to the toning and the way they would create their "jigs"... a technique often referred to as galloping horse.
You can hear the story in his voice and the angst in his guitar. Try am I am evil and ride the lightning. Rock on lex 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love Brad’s shirt, awesome!
This is by far my favorite Metallica song. This song is not only about James having a strict religious upbringing, but also about his parents sheltering him with religion from how harsh the world actually is. When he moved to L.A. to pursue his musical career he was punched in the face with drug/alcohol addiction, homelessness, and being dead broke and practically starving.
i love your unique reactions! PLease react to The Pixies-Hey! or Gouge Away. Would really appreciate your input haha
When Metallica heard fans of our Metallica Tribute band laud us for playing Dyer's Eve live, Lars Ulrich told the fans "I guess the gauntlet has been laid down, now we have to play it!" and they did, 2 years later, live, for the first time. There's my TRUE story.
this album is the most technical and the guys were at their prime !!! almost perfect !!!
One of the heaviest fastest songs ever it’s perfect!
1:34 dope comparison
Lex is my Spirit animal.
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs and I never thought to compare the guitars to violins, but I totally get it. Great comparison there!
In my opinion this is the best album Metallica made...yall should do more off this album!!
It's basically a song about teen angst directed at the parents coupled by the awareness of self by the teenager and wanting to
come and go when and as they want while still living under the authority of the parents and the seed of rebellion that is planted by society , peers , and media such as music and movies etc.
Knew you would like this song on this albumns tour they had lady justice on the stage and it comes crashing down at the end of the show it was so cool
