![Arab Man Reacts to METALLICA - The Thing That Should Not Be [LIVE in Seattle '89]](/img/n.gif)
This whole concert should be watched. It's probably the best concert ever recorded. Metallica at their height of greatness. Nobody could touch them then. You need to watch "Battery" from this same show. So much faster and aggressive than the studio version and it's 2 hours into the show! I hope to see you react to that one.
Blackened was also INSANE
@@Jdwdogg The live version of Blackened at this concert most sounded like a Slayer song in the beginning when James begins his insane riffing.
Agreed. Time machine destination
Agreed!¡!
Best show ever, they were like beasts in this show or some kind sobrenatural thing inside of them
This song is the epitome of CHUGG
James looks possessed throughout this entire performance
Blows the doors off the studio version
Well, it's about thee heaviest number known to mankind. It's a big old FAT muthafucka called "The Thing That Should Not Be". What did you expect? lol
The studio version sounds way better.
Yep, James looks terrifying
@@MaceDeMarco2010 you're objectively wrong
@@tylerreisinger734 you can’t tell the difference between opinion and fact.
Cliff Burton was a huge H.P. Lovecraft fanatic , and this was sort of an homage to their late bandmate and friend. It's based on the Lovecraft short "The Shadow over Innsmouth", which also has a movie titled "Dagon" that's loosely based on this story. Call of Ktulu was co-written with Burton as well, and was kind of "his" song, along with Orion.
You sure cliff wrote this? This is actually one of the songs on the album where he got no writing credits but the other 3 did
Cliff actually didn't write any of this but was inspiration for introducing James the H.P Lovecraft.
Cliff only wrote a few parts on the master of puppets album
Kirk Hammett is also a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. He and Cliff bonded around this and D&D.
@@sheldonnicholl3599 Yea Kirk's a huge horror movie, novel and comic book buff!
RIP to the late great Cliff Burton, an all time GOAT on base guitar, his Bass Solo on Killem All is legendary!
I lived in Seattle at this time and I was 17 years old. This brings back memories of me going to this concert. The best concert I have ever been to.
Master of puppet and Creeping Death live performances in this concert are so underrated. They really deserve a lot of reactions.
True james‘ downshredding is insane especially in creeping Death
This song is a killer example of why Metallica stand apart from other bands, imo... The sheer variety of their music and how they execute it and how they blend sounds together. They can set a scene, take you on a journey and tell a story so well, it's like they reach into my brain and force it to conjure up feelings and imagery.
More from this gig please, you owe it to yourself.
Iron Maiden does it as well and better
There are plenty of bands with more variety of music that execute and play together better than metallica. I love metallica but be honest here. Or listen to more music. This was their prime that last for more 5 years. The last almost 30 years they were a band struggling to keep relevant
@@blackened281 did you notice the 'imo'... Metallica's music has spoken to me better than any other, Maiden may do it better for you, but that's for you, not me.
@@mpmarques I agree about their struggles, but much of it has been a result of them at first trying something new then after the constant complaining trying to appease fans then live up to the past etc... Black album, load, reload, even st anger have some great music on them, nothing like the early stuff obviously, but that doesn't matter, they already did that stuff and it was awesome. More recently death magnetic was a welcome change to me when when it came out, clearly wasn't ride or mop but was ok.
Also if they had tried to be relevant in the beginning they wouldn't have been playing thrash metal that only a few bands were doing and then wouldn't have made ride or mop, as again they deviated from all other thrash metal... So screw being relevant, them trying to do that over the years has definitely caused them problems. So I guess I agree on the short peak of their song writing, but what a peak. For me, their music, particularly the first 5 albums, is untouchable, first time I heard mop all the way through was like discovering another universe to me.
Don't forget how legendary Creeping Death & Fade to Black where performed during this concert🤯
My favorite on the album is "Disposable Heroes" very closely followed by "Damage Inc.".
So hard to have a true favorite off that album lol
When i was new to Metallica james hetfield scared the sh*t out of me when i watch him live he's screaming and playing riff so fast but now he is my all time favorite i love james mann ❤🤘🏽
Metallica currently have four Lovecraftian inspired songs; _The Call of Ktulu, The Thing That Should Not Be, All Nightmare Long,_ and _Dream No More._
also Suicide & Redemption. Demo name of the song was K2LU
Also, arguably Sanitarium could be tied in there with the whole insanity theme.
@@DeusEx1977 I mean every song is open to interpretation so I won't say you and the other person are "wrong". However it is well documented that _Welcome Home (Sanitarium)_ was 100% inspired by _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_ after James watched it.
As for _Suicide & Redemption_ and the demo being named _"K2LU,"_ well that can be anything really. If I were to guess it was an unnamed instrumental, and _The Call of Ktulu_ was their first instrumental, so it was simply a place holder. I could be wrong, but I've never heard of any connection to Lovecraft's work with this particular song.
This is what is 100% known;
_The Call of Ktulu_ - This song was a directly influenced by Cliff Burton and Kirk Kirk Hammett''s obsession with H.P. Lovecraft at the time. They were both really into it. They intentionally misspelled "Cthulhu" as they were worried about copyright issues.
_The Thing That Should Not Be_ - Is taken directly from _'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'_ and the entity referred to as "The Thing That Should Not Be", which is Cthulhu, or another god in the mythos, I forget, it's been literally decades since I've read this. At any rate there is a interview on UA-cam somewhere that shows Burton discussing this very topic.
_All Nightmare Long_ - This song is about _The Hounds of Tindalos._ While not created by Lovecraft, but rather Frank Belknap Long in his short story of the same name in 1929. Lovecraft talks about them in his short story _"The Whisperer in Darkness"_ in 1931. They where henceforth inducted into the the Lovecraftian mythos. Again, there is a Death Magnetic era video someplace out there where James talks about how fucked up these things are, and how they will never stop until they get you. Due to them being so obscure, or hard to quantify, and nearly impossible to translate to film -- which is Cosmic Horror in a nutshell -- they just did some weird Tunguska experiment monster for the video.
And finally,
_Dream No More_ - This song is full of references of Lovecraft's work, including the actual god of the mythos -- Cthulhu.
This is why I said there are four songs, as each one can be directly linked to Lovecraft's work or mythos.
Again, songs are open to interpretation, and if you feel _Welcome Home_ is inspired by Lovercaft's work, then man that's awesome.
Cool when the mighty Jason Newsted was in the band. He was a very important part of Metallica back in the day from 1988 up to his departure in early 2000's.
Newstead was the 3rd best bassist in Metallica behind Cliff and Robert
@@Shawn-mo6dh That version of Metallica probably isn't even my 3rd favorite band Robert has been in, if we're going by music released. Robert could have never been in Metallica and it wouldn't make any difference to my love for Metallica or Robert. I mean, its nice, he's a great bassist...but his stuff with Suicidal Tendencies is more important and influential than anything he's done with Metallica. I'd love to see a Suicidal/Metallica show, as long as Metallica stuck to stuff they recorded before Robert joined the band...before the Black album, preferably. I love the idea of Robert Trujilo in Metallica, in a "well, somebody's got to do it" and he's getting paid and great for him. But, I don't like him as a member of Metallica as much as I do/did Jason. The Metallica that Robert Trujilo is a part of isn't one I'd be that excited to see in concert, unless it was some show they were only gonna play stuff from the first four (five if I'n feeling generous) albums and say, Garage, Inc.
And as a member of the band, I like Jason better. He's an underdog who got screwed by the villain of the piece, the worst human being to ever be a member of the band, Lars. Robert had more leverage and could probably kick the shit out of the Dane if he got too mouthy, and the band had probably learned its lesson, or at least realized they'd been sort of pricks.
Robert might be a better bassist, but he's part of a band that is past their prime, Jason was there when Metallica was the most important band on Earth. When real, true, honest thrash Metal music with serious political and social messages took on the world and won for a brief shining moment. He might not have been part of the engine that got them there, but he helped push it across the line...somebody had to play bass so Lars could pretend it didn't exist. And as you can see, he contributed to the live shows and engaged with the fans right away.
@@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908 Everything you said there was right. Personally I always loved Jason's role and time in Metallica.
@@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908 I don't believe they're "past their prime".
@@Shawn-mo6dh that is just your opinion dude 😁
Yep, H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu and The Great Old Ones in general. Mentioning the name Cthulhu will bring him closer so the song was called 'The Call Of Ktulu'. Also the songs All Nightmare Long, Dream No More. So it's 4 songs including 'The Thing That Should Not Be' , I just found out. Thought it was just 3. Apparently 'All Nightmare Long' is based off of 'Hounds of Tindalos'. According to wiki: "A Hound of Tindalos is a fictional creature created by Frank Belknap Long and later incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos when it was codified by August Derleth. They first appeared in Long's short story "The Hounds of Tindalos", first published in the March 1929 issue of Weird Tales. Lovecraft mentions the creatures in his short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931)." 💡
Your facial expression at 7:00 to the line "Drain you of your sanity - face the thing that should not be." is CLASSIC! Great reaction to a great song!
I was at that show, loudest concert I have ever been to. The crowd in Texas knew every word to every song. Those were Metallica fans!
Awesome! My first live Metallica show was this Tour in Atlanta, GA...I was absolutely blown away and remember it like it was yesterday. I didn't see them again until the "Black album" Tour, also in Atlanta but in an arena as opposed to an outdoor amphitheater - the tickets for the scheduled Date went so fast, they added a second show the very next night! I attended both and they played for three (3) hours straight, with no opening act. Incredible!!!
I LOVE Hetfield’s eyes during this performance.
Drunk Hetfield was better then sober Hetfield.
Me too
Saw that tour. Not only could you feel Jason's bass in your chest, as we were lined up outside on the parking lot/concourse of the arena waiting on doors to open they were soundchecking his bass and you could feel the concrete concourse rumbling. It was great. Even better hearing it from a mass of wavy locks and pools of sweat.
Disposable hero’s is probably the best on their, master is most popular but all 4 members really went off on disposable hero’s song. Highly recommend it. Either album version or live Mexico City one where Lars played it easier for himself but the crowd energy is something to behold
This whole concert was insane btw.
I saw them in Manchester NH in a parking lot under a bridge on this tour and I still get chills thinking about it. By far one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Over 4 hours of brutal music 🤘🤘
Definitely one of Metallica's less accessible tracks for the masses, picking the live version was a good choice. 👍👍 Thank you for the reaction!
Yes, 'The thing that should not be'... is the lyrical sequel to the instrumental 'The Call of Ktulu' about H.P. Lovecraft's fictional sea monster of armageddon.
Classic song
I miss Jason he was a criminally underrated and underutilized bassist. I could only imagine how much more he could have done with Metallica if the rest of the band had let him perform at his full potential instead of suppressing it.

Spot on with your assessment of this being another song that connects with the call of ktulu. A lot of inspiration from the author HP Lovecraft. You should check some of his stories out . sometime.
Thanks for that Lily!! That’s my favorite song off that album, a close second is ORION! It’s a very powerful song especially to be an instrumental
I saw them in Brazil during the same tour of And justice for all, epic!
The necronomican the first chapter is called the call of cthulhu this song also words taken from the book
SIN DUDA DE LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DEL ALBUM ! AGUANTE METALLICA DESDE MEDELLÍN - COLOMBIA
a monster from the sea? Yes - Cthulhu - originally written horror by HP Lovecraft.
Yes - related to the Call of Kutulu.
My favorite song on MoP album is of course Master of Puppets - but right up there closely tied is Disposable Heroes
They were so high at that show!!
From the MOP album, my all-time fav song is "Disposable Heroes". You have interesting reactions to songs, appreciated, and you react to the songs I like, always a bonus
Me and 5 friends drove up to Seattle from Southern Oregon to attend this concert, front row center during Metallica, we all got crushed, and left during Van Hagars set. GOOD TIMES.
One of the best songs to me. Love this fucking song. Just different from most of the album
One of the heaviest live songs you will hear.
Great classic Metallica song! Love it!
The Kings! I got pit tickets to see them on August 18th and 20th in Arlington, TX! These will be my 15th and 16th Metallica shoes. I can’t wait 🤘
Kirk rubbing the side of his hand across the strings is a technique Eddie Van Halen did on Atomic Punk about 11 years earlier if I remember correctly.
Hey lilly I'm so glad I follow you cause your one of my favorite reaction channels
Because of tou and my uncle I'm a Metallica fan
Superb selection
One of many great jams/stories
It’s probably one of the most intense songs in their album.. The early Metallica records were fast heavy & abrasive.. pure testosterone power
This was the first concert I ever went too. I was a freshman in high school.
That song is my favorite on the whole album 🤘
The way you can here something and explain it perfectly is impressive.
S&M "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The ending is awesome.
“Disposable Heroes” and “ Damage Inc.” will knock your socks off like never before 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Looking beautiful as always!
Always a pleasure
Everything I learned about the stagecraft of being a frontman came from three videos, which I watched until the tapes wore out and I had to purchase them again. *The Doors, 1968*; *Iggy Pop, Live at the Ritz 1986*, and this concert. As I got older I acquired some other, more sophisticated influences, but for years I was so proud to be a successful student of these three styles.
The fact that you realized this song and Call of Ktulu were related is why I subscribed to your channel. You are 100% right. This song is connected to HP Lovecraft lore.
Listen too Creeping Death Live in San Diego 1992 show. As well as The Four Hourseman from the same show. Both of those lives are hype as hell because of Jason and Lars
Metallic at their finest for sure 👍thanks for checking it out. Stay awesome ✌️
84-85. Metallica at their peak
This song is about HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu. That is some wild shit. I love bands that write songs about fictional characters. It requires so much creativity. Great song.
I was at the Metallica show in Lakeland, Florida during this tour.
The entire concert is the best
Been waitin 6 months for you to hear Disposable Heroes….LETS GO!!
🔥 🤘😆🤘🔥
I saw them about 3 weeks after this show. I couldn’t hear for days. Queensryche opened for them
Your vibe is correct. This is the sister song to call off ride the lightning. Call was just that the calling, this is more the arrival in my opinion. Either way, classic Metallica.
This song is in reference of H. P. Lovecraft’s “Cuthulhu” a mythical creature that lurks beneath the sea. Metallica has a trilogy of songs in reference of Cuthulhu, that being “The Call of Kutulu” “The Thing That Should Not Be” and “Dream No More” 🤘🤘
They also have a song called All Nightmare Long, it’s supposed to be Lovecraft aswell.
The riffage of this song will just randomly enters my head from time to time. The outro.
I'd like to see Kerry King play the lead on this, i bet it would sound wicked. I got this album on vinyl, back when it was first released (:
'In madness, you dwell ! (chunk da da da, da da, chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk, chunk chunk (:
I attended this Show in Houston Tx Ive seen Metallica 15 times this tour right here was the best.
One other thing. See how much better concerts are without everyone holding a fucking phone. Those were the good Ole days.
Disposal Heroes is probably the heaviest song on the album, heavier than Battery. Probably the best, most impactful yet underrated song Metallica has done.
Damage Inc. Is the fastest song on the album.
They have a song called "I disappear" you should give it a shot.
Finally Seattle 89, there's two other songs at this concert that's better than the studio version. "For whom the bell tolls" you will love that one. And "fade to Black" just awesome. love to see a reaction. Be cool stay safe!!!
Yeah, that's likely not going to happen since she's already reacted to those songs.
Hi Lilly. Metallica has 3 songs written about Cthulhu.
1) The call of Ktulu (originally called when hell freezes over) from ride the lightning.
2)This. The thing that should not be from master of puppets
And
3) Dream no more from Hardwired to self destruct.
Well picked by you.
i may be wrong but aint all nightmare long about a lovecraft story ? im not sure if its ktulu though
This is from a box set that came with three CDs, two VHS tapes, a tshirt with the little demon flippin the bird and a laminate pass. It was called Live Shit Bunge and Purge. This song is kind of a callback to HP Lovecraft just like the Call of Cthulhu.
Jajaja realmente imaginé al mismísimo Satán bailando está canción 😈🕺
Probably should’ve commented on Welcome Home reaction. This was the song prior to Welcome on album. You said Welcome started slow but that was to help flow of album. Not only was writing a kick ass song important but how it fit in the album was almost as important. The listener was driven crazy by Thing and placed into Sanitarium. To answer your ? , yes this is thematically related to Call of Cthulhu.
These were awesome concerts especially since they were still an underground band with no radio or MTV play. Felt like marathon, car wreck, adrenaline high & fist fight after going home.
I hate to be THAT guy, but Metallica did get MTV airplay thanks to the music video for the song "One". This concert was in August of 1989, 8 months after the music video for "One" debuted on MTV.
@@TokusatsuGamingfan They were headlining shows and selling gold albums before the video from their 4th album. The mosh pits were just as epic on Master of Tours
Absolutely related to Call of Cthulhu. This is a lyrical homage to Lovecraftian lore, where Call of Cthulhu was the instrumental. Their heaviest and best song in my opinion. The heavy guitar and lyrical content are a pure masterpiece.
Yes, this song is about Ktulu (Cthulhu), in case you were wondering. And as James said, it's one of their heaviest songs ever.
Call of Ktulu was a reference to "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft. I always had the feeling this one was inspired by a few different Lovecraft stories, but topping the list is "The Unnameable".
this song is directly connected to Ride The Lightning's The Call of Ktulu . the only song I can think uf in the first 4 albums to be a sequel. "we all know about the Unforgiven trilogy if we know our Metallica. but this is special for those of us who've been in for the long haul .
Legend has it that, the old ones sent the song to the tallica boy's ... cause if you're gonna do something make it HEAVY LOL 😂
I wish I could meet with you and talk music like for real you seem pretty chill
Need to check out Blackened off the And Justice For All album
Haha yess i was trying to get another channel to react to this one.
Everyone needs to check out the Metal documentary called Murder in the Front Row.. All about our scene here in the Bay Area 80-86. We were and still are the epicenter. lots of early Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, Testament, Possessed, Machinehead, Death Angel, Primus, Violence. If you are Metal AF, you've already seen it.
One of my all time favorites of Metallica. "Lurking Beneath the Sea".
Anger at it's best
Yes, the songs is about Cthulhu, the sunken city, and the elder gods and great old ones.
I can't wait for the and justice for all album reaction
Best concert ever recorded.
Heavyest song of all times.
Good stuff
Interesting fact: according to Kirk Hammett, Kurt Cobain was at this concert
That was in Seatle 92. He asked kirk if they were going to play whiplash. Sorry for my english not good
Kurt would have been as big as Metallica had Courtney not drove him to take the cowardly way out
This concert is the best with hammer festival live 1985
please react to the some of the early 80s live stuff
This song is about Cthulu as described in H.P. Lovecraft's chilling stories. Its an old God leftover from before creation who sleeps in his temple ruins deep in the sea. Cthulu is such a powerful God that to even be near him drives mortals insane
need a full seattle 89 reaction
one of those situations where i prefer the live version over the studio version, however, even though this version can be had in audio only, the video version is needed for full effect. with that said, you just need to do the entire concert
Not just a sea monster-a sea monster from another dimension that is not made wholly of matter, who lies dead-but dreaming-in his sunken city at R’lyeh.
yep it is HP lovecraft
Yeah Lilly that hand rubbing you mentioned from Kirk is Just pick scraping the strings. Just one
of many techniques of gettting different sounds. Can be a combination palm muting and using guitar pick
Orion is my favorite MOP song. Also my favorite Metallica song.
Get it Shawty. You be jamming. In madness you dwell ‼️
👊😎👊
James sounds like a monster here. Man I miss when his voice was capable of this
My brother was at this concert, he was killed in a car accident in 2002 so this is hard to watch. Love you Rusty.
Definitely need to react to damage inc and disposable heroes off the master of puppets album.
You need to see this whole concert! And then you need to listen too Mexico City ‘93
The song is about Cthulu a great old 1 lurking beneath the sea
This is an awesome song to play "heretic: shadow of the serpent riders" to.
