Yeah the groove in this song is one of my favorites from them. And I feel like this song in particular is so underrated. Doesn't get near the amount of love it deserves
One of my favorite songs to play on guitar. An absolutely underrated song on an album of absolute bangers. Maybe the first Metallica song I learned all the way through
I appreciate your music appreciation, Dave! It simply cannot be overstated….the 8-song collection of awesomeness known as Master of Puppets is a true masterpiece. Like, literally top-10 albums of all time, across all genres.
BANGERRRRRRRRRRRR! Sometimes it's so hard to pick a favourite, as you were saying, but this is in the top 10% of their songs (for me anyway). Great reaction & thoughts! I share the same view that it's encompassing of most religions (in the sense that there are master manipulators that will use it to their advantage to profit from people). Not unlike a lot of what's going on these days in the world, just under different covers (take this - it's for your protection; spreading war to protect democracy; follow - do as we tell you, don't think for yourself; etc etc etc) :)) --actually they even have a lyric in Don't Tread on Me off the Black Album that says "To secure peace is to prepare for war".
Awesome one of my favorite songs and also underrated. Btw you should watch Metallica play like battery live in San Diego 1992. Awesome performance by them!!!
In the $19.98 home vid Cliff Em' All... this song played live on stage was in support of Ozzy Osbourne who was heavily persecuted at the time by Tele evangelists. Later to be discovered that those same evangelists were much worse than Ozzy's worst nightmare 🤔
Fantastic breakdown as always, Dave!!🫡🤘 The beginning of the solo to me has always sounded like the hypnosis that is mentioned in the lyrics just before the solo starts; the act of hypnotizing and deceiving the crowd... If you haven't already, I suggest checking out Trapped Under Ice if you've finished the Master Of Puppets album... Much Love & Respect🙏🤘
Look at it from the Album perspective! Someone is always a Puppet and a Master in hundreds of Situations. Especially now with everyone Awakening to "who" the real CONTROLLERS ARE!!
One of the best albums that they made . after And Justice …every thing went down hill . old school fan for life . every thing else and the new release can’t bring that back .even if they load and try to re load . what $$$$ can do to your soul. ohh thousands for a painting Lars seriously! respect to the 4 Horsemen tribute band they sounds better when playing the older stuff that put Metallica on the map …no matter how much money they pay a big producer to make it work again it’s not in their harts and soul anymore. it’s been lost after 88 . miss you Cliff 🤟
This came out around the time Jim and Tammy Faye Baker were on the hook for all the shit they were doing. I get the image of the make up clad Tammy crying and crap running down her face.
A leper was a person who suffered from leprosy, a very contagious, disabling disease. To be a leper meant everyone social distanced from you and was afraid of you. You were extremely poor because you couldn't work and relied on the handouts of people who were afraid of you. A messiah is a savior, essentially, so a leper messiah is a messenger spreading the diseased ideas they have.
Yep tv evangelists! You’re good! Another great song on this topic - send me your money by suicidal tendencies- which is actually a band that current Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo played in.
Ppl don't understand wtf they're talking about. Some hit close. The reason this song was created was bc James's mother was a super Christian fundamentalist. She would not accept medical treatment bc she thought God would protect her. She died from cancer. Many of James's lyrics single around this trauma in his life. I really enjoy the Metallica breakdowns. You're usually spot on. Thx bro
Context: singer James Hetfield comes from a poor family and his parents were bamboozled by televangelists, and they made life even more difficult for the family by giving money that they really couldn't afford to give. This song is basically James unloading on televangelists for preying on the vulnerable.
Even as a Christian I love this song , just Metallica in general . But if the choice came Jesus or Metallica I choose Jesus every single time hahahaha , sorry Lars 😀😅
This song follows a trend of mistrust in Christ and Christianity. Songs like The God That Failed and King Nothing fit in this category too I think. I could be wrong.
Don't give the man a hard time for analyzing the song. Sometimes in order to appreciate music you have to take a pause here and there, really take in in order to give his perspective. I wouldn't doubt if he has already listened to the song from start to finish previously prior to creating this video...lol. I know I would! Lol.
Underrated gem! Love the groove and the lyrics especially in the chorus 🤘🏻
Yeah the groove in this song is one of my favorites from them. And I feel like this song in particular is so underrated. Doesn't get near the amount of love it deserves
So many people mis-interpret the lyrics to this song. It's very refreshing to see someone grasp it immediately. Great reaction!

awesome perspective and analysis.
thanks for sharing the experience!
great reaction video Dave.
Bruh, you're the best when it comes to breaking down stuff, keep up the fire reactions 🔥
I appreciate your music appreciation, Dave!

The song is about TV preachers so you pretty much got it right 😄👍🏻
Oh wow glad I figured it out because I was at a lost near the beginning haha.
No its not. It's about his mother dying of cancer after thinking God would protect her. Don't spread bullshit you don't know about
This is the first song I went to when I got the tab book for this album.
The house that jack built!!
Who wouldn’t love just hanging out with Dave a jamming to some music?!?
Ah that god damn tremolo part Kirk does in the solo always hits me in the right way
You nailed it again, Dave! Nice reaction.
GOOD analysis Bro, cheers from Poland :)
In my opinion this Is one of their best intros
Amazing groove, agree
James & Lars Were Drinking Beers Together At 2am & A Televangelist Came On TV...Wallah ‘Leper Messiah’ Was Born!!

That musical theory is cliff burton 101. RIP basslord!!!!

Have always loved this tune!!
Bro I love the meaning of this song
Your exactly right Dave
You need to get to a Metallica concert before it’s too late my friend!! Seen them 8 times over the years and they ate the best live.🤘🏻🤘🏻
Brilliant reaction and analysis Dave.👍👍
6:18
I believe he figured out the songs meaning..
Song's title is taken from the lyrics of "Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie
In the $19.98 home vid Cliff Em' All... this song played live on stage was in support of Ozzy Osbourne who was heavily persecuted at the time by Tele evangelists. Later to be discovered that those same evangelists were much worse than Ozzy's worst nightmare 🤔
Loved this one Dave!
Lars and James were watching tv late at night and the church preachers came on. So this song is about that. 😊
Bang on, mate 👍
Much love my man!!! I feel you with those sleeping kids
Hey man, fun vid. Thanks.
30 some years later, we see the same tricks from Televangelists that they warned us about.
Growing up in the 80’s and watching the televangelist…and then them getting caught in their frauds…that is simply what this song is about.
Fantastic breakdown as always, Dave!!🫡🤘
The beginning of the solo to me has always sounded like the hypnosis that is mentioned in the lyrics just before the solo starts; the act of hypnotizing and deceiving the crowd...

I have a reaction right here.

You should react to the music video by Metallica titled "All Nightmare Long" gets me in a COD zombies vibe
The Messiah, who is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior was rejected by His own people, even crucified by them.
Music Is….the empty spaces .
Or else It’ll be one continuous note🎶
When I listen to this song the first thing that comes to my mind is Joel Olsen

This song is directly pointed at the joal osteen types so mega churches and all churches
Metallica spawned a number of different generes of metal. This is "Groove Metal", like what Pantera would do later.
This is entirely about those evangelical preachers from the time. Spot on on your assessment there
Metallica is why Gen X is happier than you

My favorite Metallica song is Master of Puppets
Andreas hit it. TV preachers
Have you ever considered becoming a teacher? You break down and explain things in such an excellent way.
Leper Messiah is a David Bowie lyric
This is about as hard as I can go Dave other stuff I have to be careful

The fake healer was jimmy swaggert
Always took this as an indictment on cults or televangelists. You're money, bro.
Keep up the metallica ,and can I suggest some iron maiden love your reactions brother
I do have some Iron Maiden reactions.

Good job man...false doctrine is something God will deal with, without remorse.
hi :)
Hetfield Senior was evangelical
If you haven’t reacted to creeping death, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy that one . Give it a try
One of my oldest reactions.

And here’s the live reaction

Joel Ostveen exists.
I always love the song, James see through the religious bullshit
Sounds like 45 in a way
Even as a Christian I love this song , just Metallica in general . But if the choice came Jesus or Metallica I choose Jesus every single time hahahaha , sorry Lars 😀😅
I’ve always felt it’s regarding a liar who has no real connection to God. A grifter who uses a person’s need for faith as a way to enrich themselves.
That was metal church, fake healer.
This song follows a trend of mistrust in Christ and Christianity. Songs like The God That Failed and King Nothing fit in this category too I think. I could be wrong.
You’re great at breaking stuff down, very bad at keeping the flow going 😂
I always thought it was about a drug dealer....
But listening to your reaction i think you may be right.... i think it was Jimmy Swagger
Would be nice to watch if you didn't pause every 5 seconds and instead just took the song in as a whole.
That’s not how I react to stuff. Sorry homie.
Don't give the man a hard time for analyzing the song. Sometimes in order to appreciate music you have to take a pause here and there, really take in in order to give his perspective.
