Just watched a grown man listen to Metallica with his eyes closed for a full 10 mins and I regret nothing.
Well clearly you're lying to yourself then lol
I started to get uncomfortable around the 4 minute mark hahaha
beautiful enough to make a grown man cry
With you there mate. I think we all got something from this
Same
Metallica meets Beethoven in Orion. Beautifully crafted.
Appreciate you man.
This guy guessed I Remember you Skid row was something. Then he'll LOVE the live version with Sebastian
Hey Capp! Fancy seeing you here! lolol :)
@@Freedum_Fries \m/ Been following Alex for a while.
This is more like Bach inspiration for the armonies, cause Cliff was a big fan of Bach.
Orion is a musical masterpiece made into metal
Now let’s mix Orion with anime scenes
@DURASTROKINS frfr
Orion is a masterpiece because of Cliff. The master of bass did an amazing job with this song.
Can you believe this masterpiece of an album was made by four guys who were all 23-24 years old, and drunk most of the time?
They actually stayed sober during the Puppets recording sessions, which I think everyone agrees was the right move, because it turned out to be one of, if not the greatest metal albums of all time.
Fun fact: James and Lars wrote most of the album in the garage in 8 weeks, afterwards Kirk and Cliff came in at the end in the studio to do their thing. Incomprehensible that they were that young, drunk most the time, did it so quick yet were so proficient at making one of the most iconic albums ever. Every song off the album stands above almost every new song from any band to this day.
It's gotta be at least 15 years since I last sat down and really *listened* to this track. Sometimes we're too busy chasing to the newest metal bands all the time to stop and appreciate the classics we grew up on.
look up the No Treble Isolated Bass Track for this song. your mind will implode.
Hey, have any album suggestions or bands in general that are new?
How did you live without it for 15 years?
@@spacejesus4747 My thoughts exactly! The new bands he said he's chasing don't come close to this masterpiece. Purely my opinion of course.
Absolutely agree
The dog barking at the solo is priceless
The boi was kinda on time, right? Lmfao
Weird that he gives the dog headphones too, tbh.
Thank you!!!!! Putting out awesome ness!!!!!
Doggo knows what's up
Every dog knows you don't bark during a solo 😆.
Considered Cliff's swan song, he spent a lot of time on this one in post production to make sure it came out right. And damned if he didn't help create a masterpiece
Literally the best instrumental ever written in music history.
To live is to die is really good too
Anesthesia, Pulling Teeth
To live is to die > Orion but both are masterpieces
The best Metallica instrumental for sure and my favourite Metallica track ever. But there are so many instrumental masterpieces in the world that I couldn't list them in an order.
That would be Epilogue by Opeth. But Orion is extremely good.
"The bluesy part in the middle, is a waltz Cliff Burton wrote for his Dad who always asked him for something to dace to."
Cool.
Never knew that. That’s cool
My favorite part of the song. The sick bass line that kicks it off and the guitar sounds like a harpsichord melody. Epic
I am so pumped for Damage Inc. after this one. Orion and Damage Inc. close this album perfectly.
Same hes gonna be off the charts
Damage Inc is my favorite song by them. The bass guitar in Damage Inc. is fierce.
The changeover is a big reason to listen to the whole album in one sitting and in order
If you noticed, the little riff before the thrashy opening of Battery is a foreshadow to Damage Inc. (It sounds like the chorus riff of Damage Inc.)
Damage Inc. is absolutely gonna blow him away. I can't wait.
The call of ktulu is another must listen type of instrumental the bass of that song is just a piece of art made by gods of metal
But the question remains, album or live at Lyceum Theatre where Cliffs bass has never been more dominant and every note to is to be heard. Only problem is its shorter as they had a faster tempo
Yeah, the S&M version :D
@@crimsondeadman3465 that's a good one too, most of my friends hate that album but I do love a majority of the songs from that set.
I know this will make me a pariah but Ktulu is better than Orion
@@joshthomas2536 Live at Warsaw Poland. They had Rob's bass super loud for the lead bass parts.
S&M is also a great version
2:30, if anyone doesn’t know that is Cliff Burton playing that on his bass. Same at 7:19, no matter what anybody else says Cliff Burton is the greatest bass player of all time hands down. RIP brother
rip
Yeah man,
we definitely lost someone great, rip cliff
I have always had trouble between deciding whether mop or ajfa is my favourite album,
But I gotta say that mop definitely has alot of memorably tracks
including this one, and everything else cliff has been in
Although now that im typing all this out for once, mop is probably my favourite, not that anyone didnt see that coming already
Yeah, we lost one of the greatest musicians in recent history when he died. RIP
That bass lick, especially the faster sections, made my fingers bleed from over here. Easily my favorite instrumental by them, with Call of Ktulu and To Live Is To Die being harder to place (but damn they're all sick!) :D
If this was not played while i am cremated, i don't want to die
I'm having Fade To Black engraved on my tombstone.
@@CarefulWithThatAxeEugene I'd love to get the lyrics to Orion engraved on my tombstone after I pass away. "Do do da do da doo doo da do dah."
@@nerogematria6392 Lol right 😂🤣
To Live is to Die would probably be a better fit
Wait a minute. So you’re saying if it was arranged to be played at your funeral, you’d want to die?
I know it’s a joke I’m just joking about the reverse of what that would mean lol
And that´s how 10 minutes of my life flew away, no regret.
no remorse, no regrets, we dont care, and thats it.
It feels so short.
Still blows mind that the first"solo" portion is actually the bass played super high. My buddy who's a bassist told me, and I called him a damn liar. Then he showed me a live video. RIP Cliff you absolute legend. 🤘
Same. I was blown away when I realized that was the bass. And he was finger picking 🤯🤯
Cliff never played this live
@@willmarcarias6777 Yeah it was Robert playing. It was just to illustrate the point that it was bass.
@@willmarcarias6777 you don’t have to remind us. The only song on the album he didn’t play live is the one where he got to shine.
Imagine what he would've done as he got older and learned even more... legend!
Its tough not to REALLY listen to this as a prelude into Damage Inc......it just sets it up perfectly....as did To Live Is To Die for Dyer's Eve and as Call of Ktulu should have done for Creeping Death.
Ktulu was a fine closer.
@@kirbysucks5001 in my head call of ktulu is the intro for the thing that should not be, its great
True
@@iTxipYES
YESSS I’ve been waiting for this song
You have to listen to “To Live Is To Die” if you haven’t
And Call of Ktulu as well.
He's already done this reaction
And harvester of sorrow as well
He should do the entire .....and justice for all album
He should listen to the to live is to die/master of puppets seattle concert 🔥🔥🔥
I saw the video coming online and I never clicked on a video so fast.
Fucking same
He already reacts to Orion 2 years ago, I think he didn’t remember but I saw it at the time, he was blown away!
Fucking A right
Same!
So beautiful of a song. Doesn’t need words!
Lyrics by Dave Mustane
@@justindavis5259 XD
@@justindavis5259 lmao!
Suicide and redemption is a VERY underrated instrumental, keep up the good work Alex
Live in Copenhagen 2009
Agreed. Hetfields solo near the end gets me every time.... actually just the solo duel in general.
Just wish the album wasn't as distorted as it was. :(
That is bullshit in comparation of to live is to die
Underrated BY WHO ?!??!!?
Wish i could go 34 years back in time and put on this record the first time. 12 years old kid in 87. Summertime, skateboarding with my friends. Beer and subwoofer❤
I was 10 in 1987 & heard it for the first time then too. My older sister borrowed the tape from a friend and was listening to it while she was cleaning her room. I heard it and was blown away. Was hooked from that day on.
Orion has to be my favorite song from the album and my favorite instrumental of all time!
Hell yeah!
To Live is to Die... do that one.. it's one of the best instrumentals out there. Also, there is so much meaning to that song, you can feel the pain left behind after Cliff's passing..
I could listen to those '80s Metallica albums all day long...each and every one of them being no less than brilliant!!!
That bass solo is masterful! Cliff Burton was a legend. RIP
Cliff had 3 solos in this, and all of them were masterful..
Time for Call of Ktulu
Album:Ride the lightning ❤️❤️❤️
Live at Lyceum over the album version anyday
RIP Cliff. Miss you. 🤘💀🤘
That opening build up makes this song want to be the one I slowly die to
Edit: that sounded a lot more morbid than I meant it to.
"To live is to Die" is a good one too!
"Who's doing that?!" One and only Cliff Burton...he'll never be forgotten.
A masterpiece co-written by cliff, rip cliff, you were an amazing artist !
Cliff wrote pretty much the entire thing, and then showed James and Kirk what/when to play.
@@monolythentertainment9970 I’m not sure, James and Lars usually write the music, I know cliff had a part in writing this song, but I’m not sure about the whole album
@@jesswise8680 fairly certain Monolyth is referring to this song as said masterpiece.
@@monolythentertainment9970 James has a songwriting credit too. Not sure for what part of the song tho
@@Spthomas47 The main riff and interlude of Orion was Cliff’s opus. He wrote all the harmonies over several months, and only when he felt it was ready did he bring James and Kirk in to show them what to play and when to play it. I think James wrote the riff underneath the first bass solo towards the beginning of the track. The same riff is used again in the outro.
Lars gets credits on EVERY track, because Lars is Lars.
We need a Justice album reaction🤤
I'm surprised you didn't start off saying anything about listening to it before
There's another song he reacted to 2 times recently but he didn't adress it either, I think he just forgot lmao
Same. I actually thought he'd skip Orion because he had reacted to it before. Based on his reaction, I'm guessing he didn't listen to Orion again after he reacted to it the first time. Plus, that was quite some time ago when he was still new to metal music
@@missJJ_onYT yeah but he skipped over master of puppets because he had listened to it
Which is one of the problems with reactors who listen to so much. Ultimately, it becomes meaningless. They can't even remember what they listened to.
@@missJJ_onYT He was vibing with it this time though, actually listening not just reacting
3 bass solos in this piece of music. This is the tune that got me into playing bass as well as guitar. Best listened to in a dark room with your eyes closed so you can sense EVERYTHING!!!
I've been listening to Orion since '88 ... still gives me the goose bumps. It's a travel to another plain of existence..
It's basically a technical precision music that puts you into a trance. Call of Ktuhlu, Escape, To Live is to Die, Fade to Black... all those songs were just masterpieces. I'm pretty sure a sorcerer gave them the ideas at the time.
i was waiting for damage inc today, and i got a song he already reacted to before
He is listening to the album in song order, whether or not he reacted to a song in the past.
2 years ago bro chill.
@@joelombardi4907 He didn't react to the title track
Stop complaining you're impatient as hell
I liked the part when DMX came in barking in during the last solo
This is need to be a thing on UA-cam. Reactions to a song with the eyes closed because it gives you different level of emotion and perspective when you listening to a song.
In case you didn't know, the solo at 7:15 is actually on bass and was played by Cliff Burton.
Since you already did Orion you can do the other songs again Alex. Orrrrr you can do “Ride the Lightning” in its entirety.
He should just do Kill Em All, Ride the Lighting and Justice in its entirety. In my opinion, those are the best 4 Metallica albums (3 mentioned plus MOP).
@@Ranganation Shh shhh we can’t reveal the whole game yet Mr. Daniel. All in due time. 😉
I have told every single one of my friends and family that when I die my only request is that this song is played
Me to mate
To Live Is to Die is great too
I've been watching your channel for quite a while. This more then ever is like actually sitting around and just listening to music with you. It's been a long time since I've listened to this album and seeing you listen to it for the first time really takes me back.
A masterpiece! Every instrument flows so smoothly together.
7:15 bass solo
One of my favorite Metallica songs.
My Bass guitar Idol Cliff Burton whom inspired me to play Bass instead of guitar...some 34ish years ago....To this day I tear up in the mid section or as I call it Cliff section...
I love how all of these people in the comments are Metallica fanatics just like me, mesmerized by the raw talent and musicianship of these guys. I feel like I am among my friends in the comments section, I want to give everyone here a huge hug and share the love of metal we all posses.
Thier instrumentals are amazing
Ye feel like there's lyrics cos yer making a journey through the universe.
RIP CLIFF 🐺
Yess! The video we've all been waiting for!
Dude, just thank you for reaching to the whole album, you're the goat for spreading more good music to the masses
Ah, I remember when I watched you listening to this song 2 years ago as if it was yesterday. Can´t belive you never listened to the whole album afterwards. XD
Gotta do the entire Garage Inc. Part 1 and 2
Lol out of all Metallica albums, why would he do Garage Inc?
@Nicholas Giuliano yeah, it’s alright. But if he’s going to do a full Metallica album, I certainly wouldn’t recommend an album full of covers. On top of that, it’s not even in their top 5
I used to put this on repeat before I went to bed lol. Such a great album - thanks for reacting.
So cool! Actually a great experience with you! This song is really that good!
"Mr. Cliff Burton...alright!" - James Hetfield
**Extremely distorted bass noises with a wah peddle also**
What a classic performance.
James misses that man so much. You can see somethings missing when you look at him sometimes.
When you’re so early it has no views
This album makes me miss Cliff more than the other 2 with him, this song in particular. He was the GOAT
Alex from your first reaction to this 2 Years ago to now seeing your journey into metal now I can see the true appreciation of this album see how you have grown makes me happy this is the music I grew up on and seeing y enjoy is worth it
Phantom of the opera by Iron Maiden is another song that’s great to listen to with your eyes closed
Fave band next to Metallica.
One of my Top 5 songs ever
Orion by Metallica - "So good even dogs like it !"
Oh damn new intro that's dope bro!
I'm both surprised and not surprised that you did a second video for Orion considering how much you loved it the first time. :)
Next one from Metalica - To live is to die = masterpiece 😎👍
By far my favorite song. Want to to be buried to it.
This has always been one of my fav songs ever. I loved playing it (when I had an electric) and I still love listening to it. This song makes me miss my electric.
I love watching your journey Alex
Im not crying... You're crying....😭😭😭💔
Oh I'm totally crying 🥺😭
Alex bro please listen to anesthesia pulling teeth either live or studio don't matter but it's a whole ass trip you'll 100% love it
It’s gotta be the 83 with whiplash
@@noobmaster6664 or the one off of cliff em all with Dave Mustain
i’m glad you gave this another listen, it really adds to this experience
Was waiting for you to say you have reacted to this song before lol I watched your orion video earlier your original one .
you must listen Orion by Apocalyptica its a masterpiece!
Must have forgot you've reacted to this already
Yeah was'nt it like 2 years ago. Kind of easy to forget if you have not listened to it again.
But this time it will be different
Seriously. How can you react to a song twice? I might as well react to Orion for thr 203,374,374th time.
@@whosaidthat84 His channel, he can do what he wants.
@@whosaidthat84 yes do that 👍👍😊 good for your ears and soul
I love playing this on bass . So hard to play but when u learn it so satisfying
That's one that never gets old. Lots of others have said it here, but it bears repeating. Masterpiece.
u should listen to the and justice for all album after your done master of puppets. you won’t regret it!
Metallica- To live is to die with eyes closed next! So emotional instrumental!
After all these years the bridge to that still breaks my heart every time I hear it. I'd put it in top 10 songs ever written, up there with Beethoven, Mozart and Liszt.
Watching you to that song makes me enjoy this song even more. This is the best instrumental song ever
This is my actual favourite song of all time
I named my band/artist name after this song such is the effect it had on my young self and continues to have on me to this day, every thing music was, is and could be encapsulated in 9 minutes
Thank you Cliff
Didn't you react to this song about a year ago? Thought you had.
Yes he did
He did.
Seem familiar? Didn't you react to this already???
yeah but his eyes were opened
@@codeling2552 😂
\m/ \m/ One of the best instrumentals out there. AND IT's 35 YEARS OLD, and still holds up!!! Seat-belt for your next song....
Dude I really enjoy watching your reactions, it reminds me mine 28-29 years ago when I first listened "Master Of Puppets" and I was like "this is the best record in music since Bach and Mozart"!
Glad to see you appreciate the greatness of heavy metal. Stay heavy!
I like how you didn't even mention that you already reacted to this -_-
One left... Damage Inc.🤘🏼 Enjoy :)
This song just bonds this whole album together!! Doesn’t need words!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
that is a fucking awsome intro! good job man!
like he’s already made a reaction to this one like, wtf
Yeah, could have just posted that one.
2 years ago so true man youre so right hahaha
Lost respect for this channel after realizing. What a fake reaction
7:45 Don't worry about that barking noise, it's just some burglar being torn to pieces by your dog while you're losing yourself in Metallica, all good
It’s been 3 days! I’ve been waiting for Damage Inc since you started doing this. Impatiently waiting hahah.
A 9 min song with no words that feels like 2 min, and you can't believe it's over.
Day 36 asking for reaction to Don’t Follow by Alice In Chains
Give up
@@willanthevillain418 no
The drum track is so perfect for the bass & guitar masterpieces
Dude sick song always have loved this
Thank You Alex Fir Such An Amazing, Sincere Reaction! 🙏🏻🤘🏻🔥❤️
You know a reactor is really digging this new thing when they just close their eyes, drop their head, and just enjoy for 2 minutes solid LOL ... I love it man. This is why I like your channel
Chills everytime man
When I first heard this song in in ‘86 it blew me away. I was heavily into Maiden, Priest and Sabbath at that time and thought nothing could come close to those bands...until Master of Puppets. The bass solo in this song is absolutely beautiful. Cliff Burton RIP is so missed in the metal world it can’t be stated enough. This is Cliff’s opus magnum.
I love to see reactions from new comers to this music. It reminds me so much of the days of playing this song on vinyl over and over again. Thank you!
This is absolutely one of my favorite songs to play on guitar hero! Aaaah Memories
