As a veteran, I can tell you the speed and tempo of this song fits well with my memories of what it’s like when the bullets are flying and all hell is breaking loose. Thank God for Metallica! Huge impact on my post war life.
@@mojorizn72 I've never got to speak to a veteran before so I would love to ask are all wars just a way for the country to make money, a documentary I watched said that the Korean War should of never lasted as long as it did but the US was in so deep that they would look stupid for backing out so they kept the war going and brainwashed there soilders into hating the koreans to keep the war going just to protect there country's image, thank you for your service
@@og2tone9o15 Not all wars are the same as far as the troops on the ground are concerned. But one thing has been the same for all wars beginning after WWII. The bureaucrats in DC have had entirely too much influence on how the military is run. They have distorted the truth about every war since Korea. I do not trust my government.
@@mojorizn72 do you think its bull crap that the American army is still in Iraq pretending to be fighting of a pretend threat or are they just there stealing oil. In the movie jarhead some soilders said there whole time down in Iraq they never shot there gun once ,they just did made up time consuming tasks to make it look like they were down there for a reason while the army was stealing oil , just ignore this if I'm making no sense
Hands DOWN!! They rule the world. And maybe another album is being mulled over as this covid-19 is keep gatherings out of the question !!lets hope!! I seen it here on you tube on live wire!!
In 2015 the Master of Puppets album was deemed “culturally, historically, aesthetically significant” by The Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry.
@@jwesley235 I've thought about that as well. Thing is he got into kirks bunk didnt he? So if he lived like more than likely would have to be brown bread. One of those really weird situations...a definite fork in the road situation
If you've ever known someone who came from a family with a long tradition of military service, the "life planned out before my birth/nothing could I say" lyric is pretty damn accurate.
Number 1 reaction channel for me. Like someone else posted before ...."It's like listening to some good music with a cool friend" . I couldn't agree more . Keep 'em coming !
I was in the infantry when this came out and I was a young dumbass yelling this while cranking it up on my Kenwood system. Lots of beer helped. Best metal album ever!!!
My Lt. used to call on members of the platoon to call cadence during PT. I had been listening to this for days when he called on me. So I used what was in my head and called cadence with this song. He didn't call on me for quite awhile after.
I've always loved that line and specifically listen for it each time I play the song. James so perfectly voices a complete dismissal of a person's life. He chose to deliver the line that way and it just makes song complete.
James Hetfield has always worn his emotions on the tip of his lyric-writing pen and his microphone. He has an incredible ability to be very descriptive in what he is trying to get across, and yet, at the very same time, very to the point. Thanks for another awesome reaction!
And he makes sure you get it with very descriptive lyrics that smash you in the face. Im 51 and im still here. I was lucky enough to be around from the beginning!!!
@@drock55551 It was the drummer for Artillery, Carsten Nielsen, who helped Lars level up his drumming during this era. Now writing the drum parts, idk about that.
Sorry but this is not pretty mild compared to anything. You're missing the energy that translates to the song, don't forget instruments were recorded live at that time. It requires tons of stamina to transfer all that into record. I'm not even starting to describe i.e. how difficult is to hit the drums that hard and precise.
True, and also 'Sounding of the clock that ticks/get used to it somehow' is followed by Lars simulating that 'ticking' with the muted cymbals. (In my opinion) the little lead part by Kirk throughout the song is almost like the trumpet (?) tune they used to play at war to indicate different actions like 'Charge' or 'Fall Back' . Metallica always had these kind of small touches/flavors to their music and i believe it was/is largely an impact of Cliff.
100% Agreed. I was around the same age when some little metal dude at my school played this on his record player when we hung out after school. His pops was a hardcore Marine. He was just being a young punk. But I felt like Disposable Heroes was a jam that balanced both sides of military service. The Human Soldier. Gotta have the balls to do it, but it sucks at the same time. Much Respect to those who serve and have served for us.
Orion is Cliffs song. Its art plain and simple. I suggest listening to it, then again but the second time around you need to close your eyes and create your own story
@@podtrooper3219 Good call Damage Inc. is a killer song! Love the guitar solo in Damage Inc. also, very underrated. You never hear either songs on the radio which is disappointing.
I know a lot of people will laugh at this, but Little Richard had the greatest voice in rock and roll history. Go back and listen to it and tell me he didn't!!! Listen to Good Golly Miss Molly, and tel me you wouldn't have asked him to be in Led Zeppelin if you hadn't discovered Robert Plant. Totally underrated by the last few generations. Go back and listen!!!
@whyameyeevil Definitive rock n roll voice. He had a smooth voice but also had that perfect rasp that inspired so many singers. The high "whooooo" that the Beatles used alot. The raucous howls. He inspired everyone.
@@KillDozer44 actually yes, guitar tone is flawless, you can hear cliffs bass, lyrics are deep, from start to finish this is perfect....so yeah im right
I saw this song performed live. It was the sickest thing I have ever seen. Look up set list from Detroit Orion Music Festival. Setlist tore off your face. Amazing. Seen them 7x. Best concert I have ever been to.
I've only seen them three times ('92, 99 and 2006)but I was lucky enough that the last time was the 20th anniversary of Master of Puppets, so they played the entire album from start to finish. Awesome. Crazy to think that next year is 35 years since it was released.

This always makes me think of those families that have "military traditions", generation after generation of soldiers. While admirable, it's also a bit sad.
Why do you consider it a bit sad as well? Just curious. I come from such a family so I dont see that side of it. Great grandfather, grandfather, father, myself, my son all served or are serving. Our family loves this country and wanted to defend it. We didn't influence each other to join. My father actually advised me to not join, but being the rebellious teen, I joined. That being said, could you explain why it's a bit sad? I respect your opinion and want to learn from it. Keep the horns up, brother 🤘🤘. Let's enjoy the music.
Bobby Ball First let me say, I respect everyone's rights and reasons for choosing that option; hell, I even tried to enlist back in the day. But, as the tone of the song lyrics point out, it seems like an unending feeding of flesh into the meat grinder of war. With those in higher positions seemingly giving little to no care and regard about those that they send to their premature deaths. Patriotism is admirable for what it is, but it just saddens me to see successive generations in certain families continue to jump into that fray. Not to cast dispersions, but I'm also forced to wonder if your father was aware of your rebellious streak and used a bit of reverse psychology on you. 🤷🏻♂️
You two, stop it now! This is UA-cam, no decent and respectful conversations are allowed, you should know that... Now, please insult eachother, you get one each, thank you.

Man as a fan of Metallica for almost 30 years it is refreshing to see these reactions. My family went trough war in Croatia while i was listening to the songs like this one.
Probably my favorite Metallica song of all time. The superb playing, tempo changes, and Lars frenetic drumming is unmatched by any other Metallica song
Please do the song No Leaf Clover off of S&M album by Metallica!!! And the song ...and Justice For All!!!! Like no seriously, NEED to see you react to the album and Justice for All
@@woodchuckmarmalade7878 The song "...And Justice for All" is a brilliant attack on corruption in our legal system. The song is great and the lyrics are poignant. That is a great recommendation!
So freaking eclectic with your choices today. In the Summertime, Frankenstein, Your Love and Disposable Heroes. Amazing, brother. Keep up the amazing job.
Terrific song thx for sharing that, brought me back to when I was 15, lol, great choice,seen Metallica live many times, and I hope many more,thx again,gr8 choice 🤘🤘🤘
There's a lot of wisdom in this song especially for how young they were here. By the end of my 6 years in the Army I don't think I even had this level of insight into what service men and women really are to politicians.
Truly enjoying this channel and your walk though the music we grew up on. The look on your face, as you try to process some of these songs is priceless...
Every fan's favorite album. And easily their best writing. Great reaction, love your face around 7:42. They also have a song called To Live Is To Die. Worth a listen...
This is one of the best anti war songs ever made IMO! As a kid I didn't get much of the lyrics but still loved it, but as an adult this brings me to tears. A powerful track with an even more powerful text to go with it. War is hell, for all involved and hate breeds hate. So don't start any more of them.
Had a gunny on my porch in 97 I was close to being a Marine but my gut said no.. No offense to those who went to Iraq or Afghanistan but I laid down my guns and picked up my bass guitar!
@@lzw3 go talk to the soldiers that crawled through the ashes in the death camps in Germany or the ones that had to deal with mass graves all over the world. It is easy to talk safe in your bed room. They have been saying that for a thousand years. Try come up with something new. Try to have one original thought in your life time please
@@dagdamar2000 I said modern soldiers. I respect the nazi killing veterans of WW2. Today's veterans are all too complacent with nazis roaming the street,. strangely
When I was in the service and stationed at Misawa AB in Japan, my friends and I would play this album when we were droving to the Shimoda mall as if were were on a mission. This album is a top ten album in my collection.
Couldn't click on this fast enough. I've been waiting for you to react to this song and glad you did. Keep up the great work and can't wait for another Metallica reaction.
More than any other, this song made me a metalhead. They wouldn't play Metallica on the radio, but it still sold like crazy. Nothing else out there really sounded like this.
I have watching your channel for a while man you play so many great songs I will ever catch up and I love it .you are the best thing that that has happened to music 🤟
This whole album is this kinda good and this kinda powerful. And everything from Ride the Lightning as well. My very favorite is Orion, but as much as they annoyed my with their hardcore anti-piracy stance, they really do have a lot of really great music over the years. My first album was And Justice. Harvester of Sorrow 24x7 for months after that, lol. P.S. Metallica is definitely a Studio Version First kinda band, IMO. While they are good live, they are also greatly enhanced by studio magic.
Almost all of Metallica's early works had more classical music arrangements to their songs as opposed to pop music song structure. You can really feel it in their intros and transitions.
@@zane4575 4 and 1/2 albums really.. Kill em all and the original Garage Days are still solid. I was luckily able to catch them on the tail end of Justice tour with Faith No More opening!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I listened to that for the first time when it just came out. 1986. Smokin a bowl in a parking lot at the huddle. We were in a 1978 Chevy short bed pickup with a boom box between us. Man times have changed. We had similar reactions that you do we were just so blown and didn't have the lyrics it was a whole different experience believe me. I like these reaction videos from people that were not there keep it up!!
Patreon account owner: “You will do what I say, when I say BACK TO THE FRONT!” Never disposable brother, but you could think of that line being said for a lot of things.
Blasting this in my Walkman at 6am while waiting for the school bus. Then bouncing along the way to school in the back of the bus with my knees up on the back of the seat in front of me. The small amount of time that didn't belong to my friends, parents or my teachers. Memories. It's time to give this album another front to back listen. It's been well over a decade!
I know it's weird, but I am in my 60's and never appreciated Metallica until a couple of years ago. Go figure. Another great anti-war song in the harder rock genre is Black Sabbath's War Pigs.
You should check out the video for the song "One" from their " ... And Justice For All." album .... its heartbreaking. I think its the best anti-war songs ever written ;(
As a veteran, I can tell you the speed and tempo of this song fits well with my memories of what it’s like when the bullets are flying and all hell is breaking loose.

This and war pigs are the best
This album portrays our society in a way it still describes it to this day.
To the end of time
"War... War never Changes"

When I want to ask myself depressing questions, I wonder what later Metallica would have been like had Cliff Burton lived.

@IDC About Your Feelings I was going to say this!
They all were
If you've ever known someone who came from a family with a long tradition of military service, the "life planned out before my birth/nothing could I say" lyric is pretty damn accurate.
Hetfield said this song was written about NFL players from the 70s who broke their bodies for the sport.
Yeah, it was like that for so long! Thankfully I am now too old to be called up!
@IDC About Your Feelings He has.
M Retro is correct. Hetfield was inspired to write about beaten up gridiron players, but he decided that the war metaphor was a better angle.
3rd gen. Tanker in the US army. Did what my dad and granddad did. It was expected.
Number 1 reaction channel for me. Like someone else posted before ...."It's like listening to some good music with a cool friend" . I couldn't agree more . Keep 'em coming !
Yes, it is!!
as much as I don't care for reaction channels, I have to say I agree.
Yes, it reminds me of being a teenager and going to a mates house with a new tape - "dude, you GOTTA listen to this!“
I agree 100%. I am actually genuinely jealous of Jamel's open mindedness and genuine love of quality music, no matter the type/genre. Fantastic stuff.
Hell yeah don't you want Jamel as your neighbor

Metallica were untouchable at this point. From lyrical content to the transitions of the music. That line up was godly.
I was 16 when this came out. Changed my life! I'm 49 now ... Metallica!!!
Same
Same here lol. Yay for the '73 metalheads lol
Me too
Ditto- born in 71!
71 baby miss the 80s the best time to grow up as a kid the music the MALL and the girls damn good times what the hell happened
"Soldier boy made of clay, now an empty shell." Its like hes still alive but gone. Very sad.
Being a Veteran I get all the feels from this song...
Thank you for your service man, i myself want to enlist once im 20, 3 years away haha
One of the most important Bands and Albums of all time.
Word.
"Harvester of Sorrow", The Frayed Ends of Sanity" from their album "...And Justice For All".
Hear them calling!
+100 for Frayed Ends that imo is their most riffiest and most technical song they've made.
Pretty much just put in that cd and press play. That hole cd is awesome
All from that album are awesome. Hell every song is fucking amazing.
The Entire Album..!
The Shortest Straw.
Time for some “Battery” or “Welcome Home”
Damage Inc.
Why not throw "Damage Incorporated" into this mix as well
Yeah the whole album 🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the frst metal albums i bought. Tallica Ozzy and Megadeth. Evanescence's music on that must own list too now.
"Welcome home"....please....for the love of cliff please
'Master of Puppets' is easily their best album
Fire is red, lightning is blue.. Master of Puppets is number 2
No argument here.
'...Justice' for me!
The big three lightning, puppets and justice. Love them all.
@@jakohindman2622 Definitely, I always see Lightning and Puppets as a double album that just happened to be released two years apart.

Beginning to end Master of Puppets is a masterpiece album.
Here for the "I WAS BORN FOR DYING!!!" part!

You should try Tool.

Notice how some of the riffs sound like a machine gun firing.
Like 'One'...
I noticed the same thing on 4 horsemen, how the beat of the song sounded like galloping horses
Way before call of duty: Black ops 123456789
Another one that sounded like that was the intro drumming part to Spit Out the Bone
True, and also
'Sounding of the clock that ticks/get used to it somehow' is followed by Lars simulating that 'ticking' with the muted cymbals.

Oh the irony! This is a anti war song clearly from the lyrics. Describing those who sign up for this horseshit dumbass, mindless disposable sheep.
After watching the epic reaction to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein...you definitely need to do Metallica's Orion.
A masterpiece of an instrumental!
Orion is definitely a Masterpiece 💯🤘🔥
Agreed 10,000%!!!! Orion is a masterpiece and everyone envisions something completely different when they listen to it.
It's their "Great Gig in the Sky."
Orion is Cliffs song. Its art plain and simple. I suggest listening to it, then again but the second time around you need to close your eyes and create your own story
Orion is proof of just how amazing this band was at the beginning of their career!
This song is the best drumming track Lars ever laid down
Ian Johnson agreed... there’s so much aggression and variety of fills matching those riffs perfectly. They could do no wrong on this record.

@I'm a Ba Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na na they sold out with The Black Album. Poser.
Brings goosebumps to me, remember seeing them perform this live in Milton Keynes
Probably my favorite Metallica song of all time. The superb playing, tempo changes, and Lars frenetic drumming is unmatched by any other Metallica song
When Jamel said, "What an intro!" I said, "You ain't heard nothing yet!" 😂
Please do the song No Leaf Clover off of S&M album by Metallica!!! And the song ...and Justice For All!!!!
Like no seriously, NEED to see you react to the album and Justice for All
But why?
@@woodchuckmarmalade7878 The song "...And Justice for All" is a brilliant attack on corruption in our legal system. The song is great and the lyrics are poignant. That is a great recommendation!
I was a medic during my service. I enlisted right after 9/11. I never understood this lyrics until my first time I saw action...
So freaking eclectic with your choices today.
In the Summertime, Frankenstein, Your Love and Disposable Heroes. Amazing, brother. Keep up the amazing job.
Terrific song thx for sharing that, brought me back to when I was 15, lol, great choice,seen Metallica live many times, and I hope many more,thx again,gr8 choice 🤘🤘🤘
My favorite Metallic song!
it's almost a must at this point for you to react to Orion. In my not at all humble opinion of the best instrumental songs
There isn't a bad song on the "Master of Puppets" album you really should check out any of the songs on the album you haven't heard yet
The main verse riff is super satisfying to play on guitar once you get the timing correct. I love this song so much. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is why I love this album so much. Deep, heavy, brilliant. Check out Lepper Messiah also.
There's a lot of wisdom in this song especially for how young they were here. By the end of my 6 years in the Army I don't think I even had this level of insight into what service men and women really are to politicians.
One of their very best tunes and my favorite off this release. THIS IS METALLICA!! BACK TO THE FRONT !!!
Jamal: Lets jump right into it.
Metallica: Hang on!!!
Have we not done Welcome Home (Sanitarium) of this album yet? Get on that one man!
Hetfield's Sledgehammer right hand at it's finest......
Truly enjoying this channel and your walk though the music we grew up on. The look on your face, as you try to process some of these songs is priceless...
I got this on cassette the day it came out in March 1986 & after about a million times listening to them have never got tired of hearing any of it.
Every fan's favorite album. And easily their best writing. Great reaction, love your face around 7:42. They also have a song called To Live Is To Die. Worth a listen...
They were never the same after Cliff died.
And Justice for All is my favorite album
This is one of the best anti war songs ever made IMO! As a kid I didn't get much of the lyrics but still loved it, but as an adult this brings me to tears. A powerful track with an even more powerful text to go with it. War is hell, for all involved and hate breeds hate. So don't start any more of them.
My favorite part was watching his face melt to the solo! Mind blow, face melted; utter disbelief. At least that what I saw.
Metallica are one, my favourite bands, for a long time, always good to see people still discovering their gems.
Had a gunny on my porch in 97 I was close to being a Marine but my gut said no.. No offense to those who went to Iraq or Afghanistan but I laid down my guns and picked up my bass guitar!
Please appreciate our Veterans.
Deepest appreciation for veterans... the irony is they care and make the ultimate sacrifice...that is how I interpret this song.
Being one myself I try and look and for any and all of my brothers and sisters in arms.
Modern veterans are racist baby-murderers
@@lzw3 go talk to the soldiers that crawled through the ashes in the death camps in Germany or the ones that had to deal with mass graves all over the world. It is easy to talk safe in your bed room. They have been saying that for a thousand years. Try come up with something new. Try to have one original thought in your life time please
@@dagdamar2000 I said modern soldiers. I respect the nazi killing veterans of WW2. Today's veterans are all too complacent with nazis roaming the street,. strangely
"Orion" from these guys is also pretty awesome. Pure instrumental-metal and one of the best too :)
Hearing and seeing your reaction gives me the same chills and goosebumps I had when I first heard this at 8 years old. Love your videos!
A brutally honest portrayal of who and we are as a society, and what militarism does to masculinity. Metallica at their best.
It's a kick to the face, that one. Great reaction!
I heard this when I was 13 and I was hooked for life.top Metallica song for me. The lyrics are fire.
When I was in the service and stationed at Misawa AB in Japan, my friends and I would play this album when we were droving to the Shimoda mall as if were were on a mission. This album is a top ten album in my collection.
Friends shirt and Disposable Heroes. What a contrast. Love it
They actually have a song called "To Live is to Die." Worth checking out.
Couldn't click on this fast enough. I've been waiting for you to react to this song and glad you did. Keep up the great work and can't wait for another Metallica reaction.
This song just always punches me in the face. Love it!
Still waiting on Metallica "For Whom The Bell Tolls"!
Live...Cliff'em all version!
@@thewolf7119 that's the best version
‘Tis a favorite
A day on the green. CLASSIC!!
Dadamdadamdaaaammmn! Dadadadaaadedadaadadadaaa!
This song, and Dyer's Eve, and Damage Inc. are their angriest and most aggressive songs. Pure intensity.
Dyer's Eve is incredible! :) 🤘🤘
More than any other, this song made me a metalhead. They wouldn't play Metallica on the radio, but it still sold like crazy. Nothing else out there really sounded like this.
I have watching your channel for a while man you play so many great songs I will ever catch up and I love it .you are the best thing that that has happened to music 🤟
Stellar song~ awesome choice
Listen to “No Remorse” from the album Kill Em All
That’s my favorite too
No remorse has 3-4 songs in it
Enerjik I love how they add multiple riffs to there songs... They were the first!!
@@jaybones821_YT thats right man, and they made those songs when they were only 19-20 years old!
Enerjik are the best. And I caught the Metallica bug a little late. Like 1993 ish
The music of this song has a fury in it that perfectly goes with the imaging in the lyrics.
Glad you did this one. This and frayed ends of sanity are my top two Metallica songs
This whole album is this kinda good and this kinda powerful. And everything from Ride the Lightning as well. My very favorite is Orion, but as much as they annoyed my with their hardcore anti-piracy stance, they really do have a lot of really great music over the years. My first album was And Justice. Harvester of Sorrow 24x7 for months after that, lol.
P.S. Metallica is definitely a Studio Version First kinda band, IMO. While they are good live, they are also greatly enhanced by studio magic.
Almost all of Metallica's early works had more classical music arrangements to their songs as opposed to pop music song structure. You can really feel it in their intros and transitions.
Cliff :'(
Cliff burton bro. classically trained, Metallica lost more than a bass player
@@zane4575 try just weren't the same after the bus rolled. Justice was mostly already written so it's their last great album IMHO
@@rodentnolastname6612 agreed bro. I have a soft spot for load.. Don't laugh lol, but the first 3 albums are the only Metallica that matters
@@zane4575 4 and 1/2 albums really.. Kill em all and the original Garage Days are still solid. I was luckily able to catch them on the tail end of Justice tour with Faith No More opening!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thank you for continuing to bring us all together
I listened to that for the first time when it just came out. 1986. Smokin a bowl in a parking lot at the huddle. We were in a 1978 Chevy short bed pickup with a boom box between us. Man times have changed. We had similar reactions that you do we were just so blown and didn't have the lyrics it was a whole different experience believe me. I like these reaction videos from people that were not there keep it up!!
This song is the reason I told a Navy recruiter off when he called me in high school.
Patreon account owner: “You will do what I say, when I say BACK TO THE FRONT!”
Never disposable brother, but you could think of that line being said for a lot of things.
Blasting this in my Walkman at 6am while waiting for the school bus. Then bouncing along the way to school in the back of the bus with my knees up on the back of the seat in front of me. The small amount of time that didn't belong to my friends, parents or my teachers. Memories.
It's time to give this album another front to back listen. It's been well over a decade!
Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightening, Justice for All The beginning, middle and end of my fandom of Metallica.
3 great albums
I know it's weird, but I am in my 60's and never appreciated Metallica until a couple of years ago. Go figure. Another great anti-war song in the harder rock genre is Black Sabbath's War Pigs.
You should check out the video for the song "One" from their " ... And Justice For All." album .... its heartbreaking. I think its the best anti-war songs ever written ;(
May as well react to Leper Messiah since it's up next. 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
One of my favorite Metallica songs ever.
Love your reactions, you get a lot of the messages that people miss.
