Watching Lex when she hears a riff she really likes is like watching a kid in a giant candy store or a giant toy store, her reaction is so innocent and exuberant that it always brings a smile to my face, thank you!!!
Diamondhead wrote the song, in the Heavy Metal Britannia documentary, one of the band members thanks Metallica for covering it, as they still get good royalties from the cover. Such a great song!
@@MrJeddYoung Jedd are you not happy in life in general? My comment was a compliment for Lex and not a knock at Brad. It was more a rhetorical question. How about not assuming the negative in someone that you’ve never met ?
I love seeing Lex get so happy when she hears a great riff. Even when she’s like the guitar is like a piano on the up and down notes. She was born to be a rock chick!
There's an amazing live performance of this cover that features Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax aka The Big Four all on stage at the same time!
Yup, there is, and I was there 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 The Seek and Destroy version Metallica did then was epic too! It was a great 2-day event (Sonisphere Festival 2010) w many bands; day 2 - Rammstein were headliners.
Observes the beginning of truly advanced headbanging protocols...the sideways chin nod, the double dip... *sniffs* Our little Lex is growing up so fast...
Just picture a bleak Ohio winter's day, overcast skies. Drinking beer and smoking weed in the parking lot of our high school. Mullets and metal. Listening to the kill 'em all album on cassette. 6x9 speakers blaring in the Malibu classic. Almost 40 years later. It's still hypes me up. LOL
I was right there with ya, only no mullet and in Indiana - all my hair was long, front and back. Metallica, Maiden, Ozzy, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Dio, Dokken, AC/DC, Ratt, KISS - all of it made the early and mid 80s a great time to be alive!
Lex is turning hardcore metal great reaction. Brad will be sleeping with the light on. Brad's reaction is actually a sound track, Dazed and Confused. love watching these two.
The original is done by the British band Diamond Head, so you kinda have to take this as a bit of a history lesson. Man (as in mankind) has done some horrendous shit throughout the ages, so Man asks himself “am I evil?” and answers “Yes I am, I am man”.
I spoke to Sean Harris in 2002, and he told me it was more specifically about a particular serial killer. I always took it as the revenge of a village kid whose mother was the victim of a witch trial.
Lex watching YOU, makes me want to go back 32 years and experience the absolute JOY I had experiencing this for the first time again! YOU are making me fall in absolute love with my metal genre of music all over again! Thank you!!!!
@@nickcrisp7252 it's the first stage of metal madness.Don't you remember? It's like a drug.Early on you always take to much at once and it makes you a little crazy until you build a tolerance to it. lol
Back in the day this stuff was so ahead of it’s time. Parents were scared shitless of this stuff and so much of it was inaccessible making it that much more mysterious and captivating. No internet in those days. You were lucky to get a tape depending on where you lived. Was sooo cool and an exciting time for this genre of music.
@@stridersmythe8860 hahahaha! I brought GNR Appetite into Sunday school. It became the discussion for class… how they all literally worship the devil with alters and the whole nine yards.
I had a great school teacher who gave me tapes of loads of great stuff all through high school. Metallica, type o negative, paradise lost, machine head, rob zombie. Salute to you Mr Johnson.
Lmao! Yeah, I remember a neighbor kid inviting me to church with his family one time in Mississippi... I must've been around 11 or 12. As soon as we arrived they put all of us kids in to a separate room for "Sunday youth studies", or some such shit. Anyways, this guy starts going on about how Satan was literally speaking to us through all of the popular music of the time. The biggest offender in his eyes were Motley Crue, of course lol. He went off for a good 45 minutes on everyone from Ozzy, to Madonna, to Led Zeppelin - he even tried playing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards on a turntable to illustrate how the devil was hypnotizing us through hidden messages in the music 🤣. But for some reason Motley Crue had him in the biggest twist. I mean, this guy was absolutely terrified of them! He was sweating profusely and kept blotting his forehead with a handkerchief as he yelled at us. He ended his little seminar by holding up a brand new copy of the Motley album "Theater of Pain" (because it had a scary pentagram on the cover 😂), and we all had to follow him outside to stand in a circle and pray while he burned the album in a barrel behind the church, along with a few others from AC/DC, Culture Club, and Nazareth. Such a strange mix of artists - I remember it like it was yesterday. On our ride home afterwards I remember the kid's father asking me how much I had enjoyed the experience of visiting their church, and we proceeded to tell him what we had witnessed. He apparently had absolutely no idea what they were teaching the children while the adults weren't around, but he thought it was GREAT. I had rarely been to church at all, and had certainly never been to a Southern Baptist church before, and I was SO full of questions, which kind of aggravated him - I guess I was supposed to just fall in line, so to speak. Even at that young age I was trying to poke holes in the "lessons" of the day... I mean, these were some of my favorite artists, and I suppose I was kind of offended in my own little 6th-grader kind of way lmao. Not so much because of what the guy had said about the music - I mean, the stuff that scared them so badly was the exact stuff that I LIKED about the music! But it was the burning of a perfectly good record that pissed me off the most, I think haha! On that ride home the kid's Mom seemed to know a lot more about that guest "youth speaker", and she had apparently been instrumental in bringing the guy there to teach the kids about the dangers of popular music. Looking back now, it makes since that THAT was the first (and only) day that I had been invited to join them for church service. You see, I was that kid who wore Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath shirts to middle school, and it was freaking out the parents in the neighborhood. They didn't want their little Timmy hanging around the likes of me! Funny, because I was an honor roll student, and a pretty respectful kid, for the most part. 🙄 I think the breaking point was when I pointed out that the guy had to PURCHASE those albums to burn them, because they were brand new lol. So really they were supporting the bands that they were going on and on about! I was a little too young to come up with that on my own, so I must have been regurgitating some talking points that I'd seen on tv or something - "devil music" was a really big deal at the time. But it steamed the father up pretty good, and needless to say I was never invited back to church with them again. Funny, I don't even remember that kid's name, but that day sure left an imprint on me! That kid wasn't allowed to play with me anymore 😕 Shit, I haven't thought about that day in a looooong time!! And people wonder why I grew up to be atheist 🤷♂️
I love watching Lex's reactions to songs that I grew up with! After so many years it's like I almost take these songs for granted. Seeing her exuberance and energy and excitement, it's like I get to experience them again for the first time. Thank you for that.
1984 I had this EP along with Creeping Death and Blitzkrieg on cassette. This song got me into Metallica in HS. Seeing Lex is like lookin'; in a mirror with a 38 year reflective delay :P
Yes Lex, there are rock/heavy metal “musicals”. You’ve reacted to some songs from them. They’re known as Concept albums. Tommy - The Who, Pink Floyd- The Wall and Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime. Tommy and Operation Mindcrime are literally rock operas. Which brings me to this: Mercyful Fate/ King Diamond. King Diamond does what could be described as heavy metal, horror, operas like “Them”, or “Abigail”, an absolute must for Halloween. It’s hard to make a first time recommendation, most people start with the song “Sleepless Nights”. Can’t wait for Savatage!
Diamondhead was the original artist that did this song. Lex, your soundtrack is definitely metal with a lot of guitar solos and thunderous drums. Theres another cover Metallica did Green Hell by the Misfits 👍🤘😎🤘
I think Lex would love Metallica's cover of "The Small Hours" from Garage Days Re-revisited. Starts off clean with some effects, then adds pounding drums, and finally that chunky, heavy guitar riff. I've always liked that song. "Helpless" would be another good one for her, too.
Cannot get over the fact Brad hears the lyrics first and Lex hears the tune first. It’s sometimes like they’re reacting to different songs! Intriguingly addictive.
not only their cover is mesmerizing, making it like one of their very best songs, but also I'm baffled by the sound, it sounds even better than their albums at the time.
That's because they didn't try to get too clever with it. They said themselves that this whole recording was done in the time it took to set the mics up for Ride The Lightning. Imo it sounds better than most of their other recordings,especially And Justice For All.
@@jeffreycherep8264 I do agree! I love how sound lightning and puppets each in its own way, but garage days (i mean am i evil/blitzkieg) and garage days revisited sound waaaay better than justice! And I think Am i evil/blitzkrieg sounds better than any 80s albums, but that's personal.
Wish badly there was a Metallica or Diamond Head reaction to this reaction to see. Lex is so friggin' hilarious & I love seeing Brad's reaction to her comments. Fun to watch their musical journey and discoveries.
Hip hop heads are so obsessed with lyrics and understanding the 100% of them everytime they hear a song, and they forget to enjoy the music. Just relax more and live the metal music, like her! Cheers!
"oh, heavy, I like it, metal" love ya Lex and so nice Brad gets you - "you were totally born for this". Saw Jinjer last night in Seattle, got to get you two to a concert
DiamondHead (who wrote this song) recently re-issued Lightning To The Nations, the album quite a few songs Metallica covered are on (Am I Evil, The Prince, Helpless). They also have their own cover of Metallica's No Remorse on that album. Great band who I'm hoping to go see next month.
Love to see Metallica! A recommendation for a Metallica song Brad would 100% love is “The God That Failed”. It’s slow, groovy, heavy and is lyrically deep. Also it’s from the 1991 Black Album with co existing songs you guys previously reacted to such as “Enter Sandman” “Wherever I May Roam” and “Nothing else Matters”.
Lex’s honesty and enthusiasm reminds me of how hearing these songs for the first time made me feel. Makes me go back and listen to my favorites with new excitement! Thanks!!!
I've never been so happy I subscribed to a UA-cam channel😁. You're both so cool. I once wrote, "Am I evil? I am mad yes I am" on a work place white board. Boss wasn't happy, but a couple friends knew it was me because I was the only metal head there. Laughed their heads off. You'd never have known I was a complete thrashed like Lex said. But I'm not evil really.
@@eazye519 it's an exact copy, the vocals on the original one have much more variety and are many leagues above James' singing during this period of his life. He went to a vocal coach only after the release of Master of Puppets if I'm not mistaken.
It's always fun to witness the birthing of a new Metalhead. Especially as I'm now too decrepit to even headbang ( many years of metal gigs and music have taken a heavy toll ). It's good to see youngsters coming up through the ranks!
Diamondhead's version is definitely worth a listen. Have you guys done "Battery" or "Damage Inc." yet by Metallica? Oh and you should do the Unforgiven trilogy.
Lexies eyes are wide opened now, and the world has never sounded better! Love her reactions as she has multiple eargasms all while Brad is just chill, soaking it all in but struggling to understand the plot of the song. Great old Diamond Head band cover by Metallica. Nightwish is the best musical Metal Opera out there right now. The vocalist FLoor Jansen is considered the GOAT female vocalist ever in Rock!
"I thought musicals were for kids" lmao Brad has so much to learn and to be honest, he might not have the capacity to appreciate all of the noise that this channel gets
It's funny that lex said the intro was orchestral, because it actually is. The intro up until the mini solo transition is Mars, Bringer of war by Holst. There are a few bands that use it in songs.
Brad you have an inept ability to pause at all the wrong times, but I appreciate your desire to want to sit back and want to analyze everything. But I gotta say when you paused right before the solo and asked lex for her thoughts I laughed hard at her initial response... What's your thoughts on what's going on - METAL 😂.
That was awesome- Brad said "I was gonna ask what's goin on" & Lex just says "METAL"......AAAAAHHH THAT WAS THE BEST ANSWER EVER!!!! SHE IS A TOTAL METAL HEAD- IF NOT A TOTAL METALLICA FAN THRU & THRU! It would be SO much fun to go see Metallica live with those 2!
For "metal musicals" you'll want to seek out concept albums, typically from progressive metal bands. "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensryche is probably one of the best known. There are a couple "singles" from the album but it definitely deserves a front to back listening to.
Dammmn, I hope you appreciate what an awesome woman you have beside you Brad. This was one of the Metallica’s first songs I ever heard and got me hooked when I was 16. If only my mrs would react the same way as Lex when I put them on… Lex, you’re every metal heads dream girl come true 🥳🤘
Metallica's brand of thrash metal was essentially playing Venom's brand of black metal, but tightening it up, and with less of a Hammer Horror influence. That's why I always tell people that thrash metal was born out of black metal, not the other way around. Sadly, too many poseurs heard Cradle Of Filth or Mayhem first, so they think Venom aren't black metal.
Let me be the millionth person to tell Brad how lucky he is. Lex is so fun, count your blessings dude, my girl over here listening to country and crap pop, I'm so close to killing myself, and you have her. The world's just not fair. Haha
This song is a cover. The original is from Diamond Head, but Metallica's version kills it. Speaking of Operas, check out Sebastian Back in Broadway's Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He plays the lead role and kills it singing.
Should check out Metallica's S&M that was done in San Francisco where they play with a full symphony orchestra. Then they did it again with S&M 2 which I think was also in California just a few years back. And yes, they play Metallica song with the orchestra.
Ok first of all now Brad has me too consumed with the lyrics....I've always been more like Lex just going with the vibe! Secondly I am convinced Lex NEEDS OZZY SOLO in her life now!!! Randy Rhodes and more Tool and White Zombie! What a rocker!
Lex, you described me perfectly. I was never in to music much, just none of it sounded that good to me. Then one day we moved to Dallas, TX, and I found a station called zz rock or z rock, something like that, and they played metal. I had never heard it before, it changed my life. I know exactly how you feel when you say you found metal.
Brad: "What is this about?"
Lex: "Metal."
Brad has no idea how lucky he is.
@@PanzerblitzRnR yep
Lex has this shit on lock while our boy Brad is dazed and confused! \m/ lol
Good song from diamond head, Metallica did a great cover
Diamondhead were the original artist for this song.
Watching Lex when she hears a riff she really likes is like watching a kid in a giant candy store or a giant toy store, her reaction is so innocent and exuberant that it always brings a smile to my face, thank you!!!
I couldn't agree more! Well put 🎸🎸🎸
We all need a "Lex" in our lives!
Used to be cool. It’s just annoying now.
She really needs to sit down behind a drum kit.
You are so right she needs to go too a good rock concert she would really fit in
Lex definitely has fallen hard for metal. That girl NEEDS to get to a GOOD metal concert in a major way!!
Yeah she does, get her in front of the stage where she can feel it. I would love to see her reaction to that.
Good luck finding a decent metal show these days.

Anyone else wonder if Brad realizes just how lucky he is to have Lex?
I am sure he knows!
He knows. but only just.

"It's like piano on electric guitar"
She knows what she's talking about.

Wish badly there was a Metallica or Diamond Head reaction to this reaction to see. Lex is so friggin' hilarious & I love seeing Brad's reaction to her comments. Fun to watch their musical journey and discoveries.
I love Lex's energy from the metal! You're a true metal head Lex!!
7:55 absolutely love the fact that she and all the rest of us enjoy this part sooo much its truly beautiful
Hip hop heads are so obsessed with lyrics and understanding the 100% of them everytime they hear a song, and they forget to enjoy the music. Just relax more and live the metal music, like her! Cheers!
"oh, heavy, I like it, metal" love ya Lex and so nice Brad gets you - "you were totally born for this". Saw Jinjer last night in Seattle, got to get you two to a concert
DiamondHead (who wrote this song) recently re-issued Lightning To The Nations, the album quite a few songs Metallica covered are on (Am I Evil, The Prince, Helpless). They also have their own cover of Metallica's No Remorse on that album. Great band who I'm hoping to go see next month.
If there were more “Lex’s” in this world, I’d be married.
Amen brother🤘🏻
Yep!
PREACH!
5:27 Spot the moment Lex becomes possessed, a true metalhead! By far my favourite reaction from this channel.
Lex is what every man's dream of a woman should be, and Brad is, well, he's Brad.
😱
Brad is.................................................. Lucky
Brad is analyzing the lyrics and music. I love their dynamic
Love to see Metallica! A recommendation for a Metallica song Brad would 100% love is “The God That Failed”. It’s slow, groovy, heavy and is lyrically deep. Also it’s from the 1991 Black Album with co existing songs you guys previously reacted to such as “Enter Sandman” “Wherever I May Roam” and “Nothing else Matters”.
Lex’s honesty and enthusiasm reminds me of how hearing these songs for the first time made me feel. Makes me go back and listen to my favorites with new excitement! Thanks!!!
I've never been so happy I subscribed to a UA-cam channel😁. You're both so cool. I once wrote, "Am I evil? I am mad yes I am" on a work place white board. Boss wasn't happy, but a couple friends knew it was me because I was the only metal head there. Laughed their heads off. You'd never have known I was a complete thrashed like Lex said. But I'm not evil really.
That riff goes so hard. Yes, it does. Hats off to Diamond Head and a fine cover.
This blows the original out of the water
@@eazye519 it's an exact copy, the vocals on the original one have much more variety and are many leagues above James' singing during this period of his life. He went to a vocal coach only after the release of Master of Puppets if I'm not mistaken.
@@yarik14 Metallica absolutely destroys the original
@@eazye519 you're just blinded because they are mainstream. Generally speaking Diamond Head's version knocks Metallica out of the park
@@yarik14 lol no it doesn't. Your comment is illogical.
damn Brad never let LEX go , she's got the sweetest, beautiful soul, so fun to watch you guys, GREAT CHANNEL!!
Learned this on guitar absolutely fell in love as a kid 🤘
It's always fun to witness the birthing of a new Metalhead.
Especially as I'm now too decrepit to even headbang ( many years of metal gigs and music have taken a heavy toll ).
It's good to see youngsters coming up through the ranks!
Diamondhead's version is definitely worth a listen. Have you guys done "Battery" or "Damage Inc." yet by Metallica? Oh and you should do the Unforgiven trilogy.
Diamondhead is way better , Budgie :Breadfan also . Rock On
@@Abraham0031 Breadfan for sure
And Diamond Head's "Lightning To The Nations" track is excellent.
They did both of those. A lot of other Metallica too. Not sure on "Unforgiven" though.
Lexies eyes are wide opened now, and the world has never sounded better! Love her reactions as she has multiple eargasms all while Brad is just chill, soaking it all in but struggling to understand the plot of the song. Great old Diamond Head band cover by Metallica. Nightwish is the best musical Metal Opera out there right now. The vocalist FLoor Jansen is considered the GOAT female vocalist ever in Rock!
Lex is a trip lol. I love how you are really getting to know true metal the way its meant to be heard. You guys rock!!
Lex, your reaction right at the end, we could see a life changing moment. Thank you letting us watch that beautiful moment in time.
Lex is having the proper reaction IMO.
If it moves you, you move.
You guys should react to…
Metallica - My Friend of Misery
🎸🤘
One of the best songs of the Newsted era!
I have seen this song live so many times too. I love it.
There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing these two react to metal
"I thought musicals were for kids" lmao Brad has so much to learn and to be honest, he might not have the capacity to appreciate all of the noise that this channel gets
It's funny that lex said the intro was orchestral, because it actually is. The intro up until the mini solo transition is Mars, Bringer of war by Holst. There are a few bands that use it in songs.
I love watching this metal journey with you guys. Rock on 🤘🏻🤘🏾
Best way to describe Metallicas music.Crunchy!!
Brad you have an inept ability to pause at all the wrong times, but I appreciate your desire to want to sit back and want to analyze everything. But I gotta say when you paused right before the solo and asked lex for her thoughts I laughed hard at her initial response... What's your thoughts on what's going on - METAL 😂.
My dream woman: Lex wearing a Slayer shirt rocking to Metallica.
You'll notice a theme throughout "Kill 'em All."
It's a whimsical medieval storytelling album. Metal charm.
That was awesome- Brad said "I was gonna ask what's goin on" & Lex just says "METAL"......AAAAAHHH THAT WAS THE BEST ANSWER EVER!!!! SHE IS A TOTAL METAL HEAD- IF NOT A TOTAL METALLICA FAN THRU & THRU! It would be SO much fun to go see Metallica live with those 2!
Lex you need to watch the heavy metal animated movies!
Please react to Sepultura - Arise.
intention to deceive 🤘🏽
You guys are perfect together! Love the energy, keep exploring and spreading love!🤘❤️
"It's like I just finally got vision for the 1st time." Haha excellent 👍
For "metal musicals" you'll want to seek out concept albums, typically from progressive metal bands. "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensryche is probably one of the best known. There are a couple "singles" from the album but it definitely deserves a front to back listening to.
YESSSSS!!!!!
King Diamond 'Abigail'
@@paulp9274 I was about to say: Anything by King Diamond fits in this category lol
*edit* also.. Dio: Magica
My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life, or Grand Conjuration as well.
The Retinal Circus by Devin Townsend is basically a metal musical, we probably won't get a react seeing as it's over 2 hours long though...
Dammmn, I hope you appreciate what an awesome woman you have beside you Brad.
This was one of the Metallica’s first songs I ever heard and got me hooked when I was 16. If only my mrs would react the same way as Lex when I put them on… Lex, you’re every metal heads dream girl come true 🥳🤘
Bless her little heart for discovering metal. It's never too late. Welcome to the fold!
WHIPLASH was the First Thrash Hit.
It started all the Heavy.
Metallica's brand of thrash metal was essentially playing Venom's brand of black metal, but tightening it up, and with less of a Hammer Horror influence. That's why I always tell people that thrash metal was born out of black metal, not the other way around. Sadly, too many poseurs heard Cradle Of Filth or Mayhem first, so they think Venom aren't black metal.
Let me be the millionth person to tell Brad how lucky he is. Lex is so fun, count your blessings dude, my girl over here listening to country and crap pop, I'm so close to killing myself, and you have her. The world's just not fair. Haha
If everyone was as honest and raw about their true musical emotions as Lex is and not be afraid to express it, this world would be a better place.
They have such incredible intros and timing. Great idea Lex about a metal musical. Like in New York!
This song is a cover. The original is from Diamond Head, but Metallica's version kills it. Speaking of Operas, check out Sebastian Back in Broadway's Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He plays the lead role and kills it singing.
Lex for phuckin' President! Although most in the know wouldn't classify this as metal, it's still a classic song, that cannot be denied.
Pure joy!😁I'm so happy you both enjoyed the experience. 🤘
Diamond Head....a true classic. Pioneers of the sound we have today X
Should check out Metallica's S&M that was done in San Francisco where they play with a full symphony orchestra. Then they did it again with S&M 2 which I think was also in California just a few years back. And yes, they play Metallica song with the orchestra.
Ok first of all now Brad has me too consumed with the lyrics....I've always been more like Lex just going with the vibe! Secondly I am convinced Lex NEEDS OZZY SOLO in her life now!!! Randy Rhodes and more Tool and White Zombie! What a rocker!
Dude... one of the first songs my old band played along with Paranoid, Seek and Destroy, For Whom the Bells Toll, etc.
Lex, you described me perfectly. I was never in to music much, just none of it sounded that good to me. Then one day we moved to Dallas, TX, and I found a station called zz rock or z rock, something like that, and they played metal. I had never heard it before, it changed my life. I know exactly how you feel when you say you found metal.
