This is the absolute and ultimate defining song for Metallica!...and damn! I never ever looked at the harmony midsection like sori explained....great observation!
7th grade- album just came out- my turn in music class to play my favorite song on a pretty sweet system. I chose this song. NOBODY WAS READY!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best metal songs ever... it has the exact balance of all core components and one of the best lyric in metal history, containing a perfect "trident," meaning, symbolism AND rhyme. Anyone who ever written even a halfassed song know one of these three can be tricky, incorporating two is hard and successfully using all three is damn near impossible,
Sori's on FIRE with the insights on this one! This is SUCH an important song and album in metal history. It has influenced SO many artists. Its mark on the music world is absolutely indelible. Awesome review guys!
When she started talking about the interlude being the high and then crashing back into chasing said high, I had to stop the video and load up the song to listen to it again. In all my years of listening to this album I have never made that connection and it's so very true. **bowing down to Sori**
This is the greatest metal song ever. I still listen to it regularly and it still gives me goosebumps. I will fight anyone who disagrees. Lol, jk I don’t like fighting.
I agree with the OP. For me, this is the greatest metal SONG ever. I was asked to pick a song for this very reason in a metal group im in. I thought about it for a while and came to this conclusion using metrics that came to me as I analyzed the song. Now, I understand the parameters i used are not what works fir everyone and some may even have many more but to me, its like this: Date of publication: the inception and heyday of thrash metal. Influence: obviously very influential. Title of the song: very metal! And worthy of an album title as well to go along with that epic album artwork inspired by the title. Subject matter: addiction, obedience and destruction! Very metal! Lyrics: catchy, memorable , dark and contains metaphors/analogies Music: Epic intro: check Down picked, speedy main riff: check Memorable riffage: check Headbang inducing: check Fist pump inducing chorus: check Scream along chant part (Master!Master!) : check Slow melodic clean break: check Harmonized dual guitar melodies: check Stylized guitar dubs (volume swells, reverse guitars): check Ripping, fast and memorable guitar solo: check Slow memorable guitar solo: check Melodic and heavy change up: check Chant along factor (post solo Master! Master!....Laughter! Laughter!): check Fast paced drums: check Pounding, almost tribal drum part: check Solid , reinforcement bass line: check Then as a bonus: it ends with wicked demented laughter! Now, i know it’s subjective but to me , this song has it all! Its a bit outplayed at this point because we’ve all heard it a million times and it always comes up in convos about the greatest metal but ironically its reached that cumbersome point because of how awesome it is in the first place. Im sure some great songs came before and after MOP but to deny its excellence and staying power would be uncivilized. Metallica hit the nail on the head with this one, whether by accident or careful thought I don’t care. Im just glad to exist in a universe and time where i got to experience this cut! Bonus nugget: when i was young, that middle harmonized guitar melody blew my mind. It was a game changer. A couple if years ago at a Metallica concert, both james and kirk met up right in front of me, three feet away from my face and played that part. I had come full circle and it was fantastic.!! My favorite band in the whole world isnt even metallica, its Pantera but damn....these boys laid it down on this song and even better, this album! In madness you dwell.....
I like when both don't know the song, because everytime that Vin knows he becomes so much excited that he does the air guitar everytime and look at Sori all the song to see if she is enjoying.
I remember that in 4th grade I got into a lot of trouble because the Christian school I went to had Wednesday sermons and the principal used this song as way to prove that music was a form of the devil. Little did he know that I being the lover of that album was actually carrying the cassette tape in my book bag and defiantly stood up during the sermon and corrected him about what lyrics were actually saying... I ended up washing the gymnasium walls for that entire week as punishment for my defiance and for having “Devil” music on the school property....
If I am honest, I would have to say that was the planting of the seeds of my distrust for organized religion. I still respected the religion but not the people behind the church walls.
In recent news, a high profile "minister" has been asking his "flock" to help him raise money for a state of the art private jet. In talking to another high profile "minister" the second minister said "when I get on a commercial flight, everyone on this steel tube is drug adled. I feel like I am getting on a plane with a hundred or so Demons..." ... I thought "Isn't that what Jesus would want them to do? Isn't that what you're supposed to Do? Or do you preach only to people who have heard you several times already?" and "God doesn't need a jet airplane. He doesn't need you to have one. He needs you to walk in the path of Jesus".
Wow! I'm blown at so many not noticing what the meaning to the 3rd and 4th interlude's and the transition between them painting the picture of the High, Coming Down, Jonesing for more, Getting your Fix and then ODing. I automatically recognized it. That's part of what makes the song so brilliant!
Großartig. Meisterhaft. Kunst. Ein Meisterstück. Verdammt nochmal jedes Superlativ ist gerechtfertigt. Das ist für mich der beste Song überhaupt. Musikalisch. Textlich. Alles. Und von Vin und Sori wirklich absolut klasse reflektiert. Einfach sympathisch die beiden. Das Video hat mir heute den Abend gerettet. Danke ihr zwei!!!
THANK YOU for letting this song play through !! You ROCK !! What an introduction to hearing this Song for the first time , you can't get the full effect of the music when you keep stopping it to react every five seconds. love Love LOVE it !!?
I love seeing you guys make connections and references to your faith with the songs yall review.Eventhough we dont share beliefs , its nice and interesting to see someone elses view on the world
As an atheist, this kinda gives me hope that one day, christians will knock on my door and be like: 'Good afternoon sir. Do you have a few minutes to discuss the GOOD NEWS?... of how awesome Master Of Puppets is?'
Metal brought me to Christ, as most good metal ultimately reads as a cautionary tale against the subtle, seductive forces of darkness. All of the "Metal" kids I grew up with are now on the Right, if not religious.
I am so happy right now. "Master Of Puppets" is one of my favorite songs of all time and so I thank you for reacting to this sheer masterpiece. I've played guitar for 21 yearrs and I still have to warm up before playing it, since I play the way Metallica does, with downstrokes and all. I love the solemn middle-section. Hell, I love every second of it. Great reaction!
The part at 5:20 where it slows down into the solo is still one of my favorite parts of any song. It’s flat out beautiful. I’ll put it up against any other song. Blackened and ride the lightning. To live is to die, Orion are all up there too
Master of Puppets and For whom The Bell Tolls are my faves. The rest of their library kocks out whatever teeth you still got left after listening to these two...
Awesome reaction to one of the best metal songs ever! Sori you were on point about the mellow part in between being a metaphor for being high which ends soon and leads to the destructive cycle all over again. Very astute :)
@VinAnd Sori you guys always have the most insightful discussions about songs that i have come across! I love that the music also transcends religion because metal music is condemned too often by people who haven't even tried different flavours of it yet.
Sori the part where you said the interlude in the middle of the song when it went from heavy to slow like that which is one of my favorite pieces by metallica. Out of all the times of me listening to to this track i never thought about it being the contact high wearing off thank you Sori now i will remember that everytime i listen to master of puppets
this song legitimately plays through my head, once every day, from start to finish. if anything interrupts it, it starts over. & I can't figure out why my brain chose this song. lol
Finally a kindred soul that sees the brilliant storytelling of this song! The first part is an addict who seeks the drug, then he gets it and the melodic part is the fleeting high, and after it ends the addiction comes back again but the next time the addicts takes the drug he overdoses on it and dies. Thats why you hear the laughter at the end because the master is happy he finally got the addict and he goes to hell (hell is worth all that). Good job Sori you got the song from the first listen! There are fans who have never thought of it that way and their minds get blown when I show it to them. That right there is the mark of a good song, a song you can listen hundreds of times and still find something new about it.
Goat yes after the melodic part the high ends, and he starts craving the drug again. He dies right at the very end of the song, when he has gotten his fix but overdoses. So the songs is, in my opinion, divided in 4 parts: craving up until the melodic part, high in the melodic part, even stronger craving after the melodic part and then OD and death at the very very end when you hear the master (cocaine) laughing ;)
Not gonna even pretend i thought that. Been listening to this for 25 years, never even occurred to me and Sori is so so right. Do some nine inch nails pleease and not closer. Wish or heresy or a perfect drug ...... The great below (i think sori would love that one)
yo mo People focus too much on the lyrics, when the actual story is told through the music. The lyrics are just there to give you context and get you up to speed, but the music and transitions within the song are what actually drive the story forward. Its a very cool lens to view music through.
Ivan Gushkov Agreed. I almost wish they'd listen twice. So they can just listen to it and the second time so they can analyze it. Especially with the acknowledged greats. Analysis right from the jump isn't the most pure way to hear a song for the first time. Who does that anyways? I mean Normally that's not the way you usually hear a song for the first time. You take away that first time emotive energy that comes with hearing something for the first time. You're distracted by the reading and not feeling the music wholly, you know?
great vid guys! she's so cute she couldn't help herself mouth "master!" love it! just saw them march 11, 2019 my 22 yr old son took me for my 47th birthday, epiccc they still are the best live metal show i've ever been to! ✌🏼 you two are adorable
Oh wow. THE classic. Sori I've been listening to this song for 32, since it came out, and I never realized what you said at 11:30 either. I think you're right, though.
So, I'm totally late to the party on this video. I'm 36 years old and I've been a Metallica fan since I was about 13. I have played this song to death and it never occurred to me that the mellow portion of the song could be representing the high and the temporary escape that comes with a drug. That was absolutely brilliant!
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Loved this, love this song, love both of you and your channel. I genuinely look forward to your videos. Great work! 👌
+belegurth baggins *Huh?* Thanks to the geniuses who designed the current UA-cam UI, I can't tell whether you are replying to *The* *Real* *Eric* *Mitchell* or *FeroMet* - or perhaps *everyone* who voted 'Thumb Up' to the comment "Sori is so beautiful!!" because from the verb "leave" it's impossible to tell whether it's in singular or plural, informal or formal. *In* *any* *case* your whole comment just seems a *totally* unnecessary, even accusatory, over-reaction - unless someone is spamming, harrassing or stalking Sori. Surely *that* isn't the case? Also, who's "Vinnie"??? *Bonus:* Using capital letters at the beginning of your sentences increases your credibility, even if we give any merit to the stupid statement that "This is Internet! I can spell however I want! Use numbers and all in place of letters! Emojis only! WAAAH!"
They weren't millionaires at this point. No radio play except for a few local LA/SF stations. All word of mouth. @Monsters of rock in '88 they opened before 4 other bands, with Van Hagar headlining. They were still nobodies, until 'One' or 'Enter Sandman' that's when they got big. I saw them with Cliff 3x's. I heard 'Kill 'em All' in '83 and was hooked.
By 85, they were the biggest underground band on the planet in heavy metal circles. 86, they destroyed ozzie on stage. Mainstream means nothing when it comes to early metallica.
HOLY SHIT, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AND IM 36 AND HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO METALLICA FOR 20 YEARS AND CANT BELIEVE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT!!! Cheers from Texas!!
Also My favorite song is definitely “ORIAN”, it’s an instrumental on the MASTER OF PUPPETS ALBUM written by their bassist Cliff Burton who died during the one of the master of puppets tours, the bus some hit black ice and then flipped and crushed him. Many think he is the best metal bassists who ever lived. It’d be so amazing if y’all could react to it. Thanks for the great videos!!
Been bumpin this record in my car again for 3 years now, and your reaction mirriors my drives completely. Great energy!!!! Love this video you 2. Peace be with you.
Next from Metallica you have to do something from And Justice for All. And Justice for All is a badassed Album... period, bass missing and all. Blackened is one of the most killer tracks Ever. One, brought Metal to the masses in a way that as far as Metals exposure to the masses is concerned, is probably the single most important song in the history of Metal. Eye of the Beholder... Those lyrics are sooooo fucking relevant today it's almost prophetic and it's a fucking badass song. Shortest Straw is a killer track. The whole fucking Album is killer. I would challenge you to find any modern Metal act and song for song match their very best album to And Justice for All. There are maybe a handful that you could legitimately compare to And Justice for All. The one track on it, To Live is to Die, is the only weak song (in comparison to the rest) as it is the tribute to Cliff Burton, but it rolls right into Dyer's Eve which is just an Awesome closing song and is one of my favorites on that Album if I had to choose a couple. We aren't even considering Master of Puppets, the greatest, which just crushes everything.
TheSuperSaiyan97 weak in comparison to brutality of the rest of the Album. Musically it's good. Not great. It's moving, because of the subject matter. But I just wish it soared a little more. But it was good. It's just the weakest song on the album, in my opinion. Better than many metal bands best though. And certainly better than many metal bands best albums weakest song.
Man this just made my day!! Vin it's an adrenaline rush for me every time and my wife looks at me the same way. I really enjoy the videos! Oh ya you have to plug the air cord into the air amp to play the air guitar.
I never did either, but now that i think about it, the whole song could be symbolism for drugs. The fast parts could symbolize uppers like cocaine, crack and meth, and the slow, mellow part could symbolize downers like heroin or morphine.
I love how you guys review all these songs, your conversations go so far off topic but stays quite relevant still and it's just so interesting to listen to your conversations. I've been watching your channel for about a week now and just in this past week I feel like I've learnt so much from you guys. Love the channel, keep it up. Plz react to more Iron Maiden and Judas Priest
I first listened to this song when I was in my teens, I'm 24 now. I never really focused on the lyrics just on the instrumental. It's only very recently that I started to give the lyrics any attention and I've been blown away by how deep and impactful they are. It honestly elevated this song to a whole other level for me. Hetfield is a lyrical genius.
Great discussion; really opened my eyes. I've heard the song probably a hundred times and I've never thought about it this deeply. I love that you guys somehow related it to Infinity War, which is even more funny to me because Thanos looks uncannily like James Hetfield. I would recommend Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence. I'd like to hear you guys discuss the themes.
Holy shit. I have been listening to Metallica since I was 14, so 21 years now, and the point Sori makes between 11:15-11:32 about the melody-interlude is genius. It is reactions like this that keep me coming back for more! Not only is it immensely entertaining to watch people experience your favorite band for the first time, but the fresh perspective can show you things you never noticed as well!
Amazing! The two of you, totally get the messages in music. The song is about addiction, and the interlude in the middle, is about that moment when it comes crashing down, but then again it takes control.
You must understand that it is one of rock history's masterpice of all categories. I get shivers all over my body when I have this song. Love this song & or hate it
Great song and great reaction ! I would love to see a reaction to something from the album "Spiritual Healing" by Death. Maybe "Altering the Future", "Genetic Reconstruction" or "Within the Mind". Or simply "Spiritual Healing". The whole album is amazing. So if you want, just pick any song. Keep it up. You guys are awesome. And cheers from France :)
I have never heard anyone make that point about the interlude meaning that's the high,before the storm comes back! he's right, ThAT was super insighfull,holy crap.My favorite albume since it came out in my childhood,and I NEVER made that connection.Sori,you rock!
Sori is ON POINT. This song is like those magical MATH equations which looks like a beautiful puzzle at the end. At the first part of the song the addict is at the beginning of his/her drug usage, not the first time he/she used it but still the drugs didn't completely take over his/her life. Then, after he/she crawls back to the "master" and takes it into his/her system, he/she gets high and above which is the calmer, mellow, beautiful, relaxing, soothing part which reflects what he/she's feeling while over the clouds. Then when it starts to creep back (as Vin says) the addict has a brief moment of realization that he/she's getting addicted to it, desperately tries to rebel against the master with those lyrics but he/she can't resist any more and quickly gives in to it with the "fix me" line where the crazy solo comes. That symbolizes his/her regret and anger to himself that he didn't succeed, this time no relaxing, no soothing because even if he/she's high, there's a war within his/her head or soul. When the solo ends the master riff gradually comes back because now it completely conquered his/her life, now his/her life is out of season. The drugs are the absolute master, he/she is fully addicted and there's no turning back hence the laughs at the end...
Nice stuff there guys, you conversing bout addiction, power, and so on.. especially in the end, 34th minute around where sori talks bout naivety, and how very few get out alive, or Really change their mind, and their lives.. I would call that everyday Heroes. People, that despite all, no matter the circumstance, the addiction, the master that keeps on calling 'em They resist. They find the inner strength, even where noone believes in them And overcome everything and anything. That's when the animal human, transcends to whatever daimon, or divine approaches a bit closer to the concept of our Gods. Of whatever Higher power, one is trying to grasp, and follow on the path of Virtue (Αρετή) . Thank you for the effort and the hours. Hail to those Heroes.. the Age of Heroism is coming back, imo Stay true, stay strong, in harmony and balanced, you all.
Love it, kids! Probably my favorite Metallica album. It was even inducted into The National Library of Congress in 2016. The first and only metal album, thus far. I'd like to request 😇 On Fire, again. 👌
Ok, thats definitly the best reaction vídeos channel, i really loved your both expressions on this (i can see you got metal in your vains) 🤘🏻😬 and ooh i just remember you gonna have a kid!!! Im happy for you guys, you fucking rule haha, happiness to your familly! Hail from Brasil Vin, Sori and kid! 😂
Please react to Heilung- Krigskaldr, it's like nothing you've ever reviewed and you've said how you love bands that take their time setting up the song and this is a great song to hear since you're into that
Great Insight Sori I love how she talked about the pace of the song going along with the stages of addiction Please listen to When Heaven comes down by Dokken or Forclosure of a dream by Megadeth
Just thinking back to high school and then going to see these guys live and seeing them backstage. They were kids like me but ultra-talented musicians at such a young age. It's amazing how much the world has changed as I see lots of minorities and others into Metallica now and reviewing/reacting to their music archive. It was odd back in 86 as young like me as a young black man to talk about how great Metallica was. Great to see people recognizing these guys' talent across all races/genders.
I love when people lose their shit over music!! Lolol Love you guys thanks for the Metallica love!!! Legendary! But more importantly, your reviews/breakdowns are unmatched. Rock on Vin&Sori!!! 🤘
Im not a christian, nor a religious person, but man i love your christian view of things, the way you analize and enjoy the songs and also the chemistry between you two. You gained a subscriptor, greetings from Argentina! (Pd: review more ghost bc songs please!)
I actually discovered Metallica on a church mission trip when I was in High School. My walkman had run out of battery so a friend of mine let me borrow his and it had this cassette tape in it. I have never stopped being a metal head ever since.
I hum this tune when I'm out walkin' the pooch. ♫ Master of puppies, I'm holding the leash... picking up poop, now she's pulling me... come running after... who is the master? master, master of puppies she's pulling the leash... ♪
Vin is so proud of his air guitaring lmao
I love it ! Very expensive !
@@VinAndSori You do play the guitar, right ? I've noticed that your (air) play riffs perfectly (Killswitch Engage, Metallica...)
Vin is a pro with that air guitar! haha
Absolutely!
I challenge Vin to Air Guitar competition! Bring your A game, Big Homie!!
This is the absolute and ultimate defining song for Metallica!...and damn! I never ever looked at the harmony midsection like sori explained....great observation!
Metal period!!
Why the fuck this song is so good? Because it is! :D
holy shit that observation just completely changed how i listened to the song
7th grade- album just came out- my turn in music class to play my favorite song on a pretty sweet system. I chose this song. NOBODY WAS READY!!!!!!!!!!
This is Metallica’s masterpiece. I don’t care what anyone says
I agree. As far as I know, this whole album is, indeed, considered by a great many to be their masterpiece work.
I think it is their best song, but still see AJFA as a better album.
You say that as though they only have one.
Bah not enough wah wah
They have too many masterpieces to count tbh
One of the best metal songs ever... it has the exact balance of all core components and one of the best lyric in metal history, containing a perfect "trident,"
meaning, symbolism AND rhyme.
Anyone who ever written even a halfassed song know one of these three can be tricky, incorporating two is hard and successfully using all three is damn near impossible,
Sori's on FIRE with the insights on this one! This is SUCH an important song and album in metal history. It has influenced SO many artists. Its mark on the music world is absolutely indelible. Awesome review guys!
She really was the star on this one
When she started talking about the interlude being the high and then crashing back into chasing said high, I had to stop the video and load up the song to listen to it again. In all my years of listening to this album I have never made that connection and it's so very true. **bowing down to Sori**
I love Vins enthusiasm when listening to Metallica lmao
Thank you !!! Buncha haters!!! 🧐🧐🧐
Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

GREAT song no one ever does.

Sori: *Confused look*
Vin: "...Cocaine"
Sori: oooohh.
Love the reactions you guys.
This is the greatest metal song ever.
I still listen to it regularly and it still gives me goosebumps.
I will fight anyone who disagrees. Lol, jk I don’t like fighting.
Shmick ! Holy wars is the Best one my friend !
anger rip is imo the best thrash metal album of all time.
Oh the greatest metal song ever? I disagree of course
Starblind by Iron Maiden is the greatest metal song of all time
I agree with the OP. For me, this is the greatest metal SONG ever. I was asked to pick a song for this very reason in a metal group im in.

Aye it feels like he is interrupting her to focus
You guys are AWESOME! Love this channel!!
I remember that in 4th grade I got into a lot of trouble because the Christian school I went to had Wednesday sermons and the principal used this song as way to prove that music was a form of the devil. Little did he know that I being the lover of that album was actually carrying the cassette tape in my book bag and defiantly stood up during the sermon and corrected him about what lyrics were actually saying...

Wow! Unbelievable!!
If I am honest, I would have to say that was the planting of the seeds of my distrust for organized religion. I still respected the religion but not the people behind the church walls.
Makes total sense my dude
Totally fucking worth it William! That is the most punk rock thing I have heard all week, you stuck it to the Man.
In recent news, a high profile "minister" has been asking his "flock" to help him raise money for a state of the art private jet.

THANK YOU for letting this song play through !!
You ROCK !!
What an introduction to hearing this Song for the first time , you can't get the full effect of the music when you keep stopping it to react every five seconds.
love Love LOVE it !!?
I love seeing you guys make connections and references to your faith with the songs yall review.Eventhough we dont share beliefs , its nice and interesting to see someone elses view on the world
She felt it! That was beautiful to watch! As a recovering addict, this song hits home and make my eyes well up every time.
Vin is all of us in this song. You know you all are air guitaring to this in the privacy of your own homes. Hell... I do it at work to this song!
As an atheist, this kinda gives me hope that one day, christians will knock on my door and be like:
'Good afternoon sir. Do you have a few minutes to discuss the GOOD NEWS?... of how awesome Master Of Puppets is?'
lol !!!!
Best comment!
Jerry Thompson
Cheers bro!! 👊👊👊
And on the 2nd day, Brad won the internet.
Metal brought me to Christ, as most good metal ultimately reads as a cautionary tale against the subtle, seductive forces of darkness. All of the "Metal" kids I grew up with are now on the Right, if not religious.
I am so happy right now. "Master Of Puppets" is one of my favorite songs of all time and so I thank you for reacting to this sheer masterpiece. I've played guitar for 21 yearrs and I still have to warm up before playing it, since I play the way Metallica does, with downstrokes and all. I love the solemn middle-section. Hell, I love every second of it. Great reaction!
'They want to f###-up accidentally..." is an excellent point by Vin! I love you both for your heartfelt commentaries on all your videos. 🏌️🍿🍿😍😍😍😍🥂🕺
You guys rock! Now listen to Metallica- Welcome home (Sanitarium).
Utahrd81 I'd like to hear sori react to welcome home also.
john finally someone else who doesn't just call it sanitarium lol ITS CALLED WELCOME HOME
The part at 5:20 where it slows down into the solo is still one of my favorite parts of any song. It’s flat out beautiful. I’ll put it up against any other song. Blackened and ride the lightning. To live is to die, Orion are all up there too
11:25 Excellent call Sori. Big props to ya in catching that. \m/ \m/
Crazy good job! Proud!
It sounded like "i'm sorry" 🤣 love U both ☺
I have been waiting for this reaction, off the best Metallica album ever made. One of the best songs ever written.
Master of Puppets and For whom The Bell Tolls are my faves. The rest of their library kocks out whatever teeth you still got left after listening to these two...
Actually Vin, you weren’t down stroking those notes 😂 kidding
Hahahaha GOOD CATCH!!
I know right lol. Pretty important stuff. =P
The best video of Vin and Sori
Awesome reaction to one of the best metal songs ever! Sori you were on point about the mellow part in between being a metaphor for being high which ends soon and leads to the destructive cycle all over again. Very astute :)
Very astute!!
@VinAnd Sori you guys always have the most insightful discussions about songs that i have come across! I love that the music also transcends religion because metal music is condemned too often by people who haven't even tried different flavours of it yet.
Sori the part where you said the interlude in the middle of the song when it went from heavy to slow like that which is one of my favorite pieces by metallica. Out of all the times of me listening to to this track i never thought about it being the contact high wearing off thank you Sori now i will remember that everytime i listen to master of puppets
this song legitimately plays through my head, once every day, from start to finish. if anything interrupts it, it starts over. & I can't figure out why my brain chose this song. lol
Looking back on this 3 years later, I can see how Sori's love of metal has grown. Love to see it. Good shit you beautiful people.
I have waited for this for a while now, anticipation is high !
and I am very happy , I knew she'd love it ! You guys have to do Seek And Destroy and show her early Metallica !!
Finally a kindred soul that sees the brilliant storytelling of this song! The first part is an addict who seeks the drug, then he gets it and the melodic part is the fleeting high, and after it ends the addiction comes back again but the next time the addicts takes the drug he overdoses on it and dies. Thats why you hear the laughter at the end because the master is happy he finally got the addict and he goes to hell (hell is worth all that). Good job Sori you got the song from the first listen! There are fans who have never thought of it that way and their minds get blown when I show it to them. That right there is the mark of a good song, a song you can listen hundreds of times and still find something new about it.
Ya it was a mind blown moment for me too!
Goat yes after the melodic part the high ends, and he starts craving the drug again. He dies right at the very end of the song, when he has gotten his fix but overdoses. So the songs is, in my opinion, divided in 4 parts: craving up until the melodic part, high in the melodic part, even stronger craving after the melodic part and then OD and death at the very very end when you hear the master (cocaine) laughing ;)
Not gonna even pretend i thought that. Been listening to this for 25 years, never even occurred to me and Sori is so so right. Do some nine inch nails pleease and not closer. Wish or heresy or a perfect drug ...... The great below (i think sori would love that one)
yo mo People focus too much on the lyrics, when the actual story is told through the music. The lyrics are just there to give you context and get you up to speed, but the music and transitions within the song are what actually drive the story forward. Its a very cool lens to view music through.
Ivan Gushkov Agreed. I almost wish they'd listen twice. So they can just listen to it and the second time so they can analyze it. Especially with the acknowledged greats. Analysis right from the jump isn't the most pure way to hear a song for the first time. Who does that anyways? I mean Normally that's not the way you usually hear a song for the first time. You take away that first time emotive energy that comes with hearing something for the first time. You're distracted by the reading and not feeling the music wholly, you know?
By far the BEST reaction channel! I keep returning even if in small bits here and there! Love you guys!!
love how Vin was pumped :D one of best songs ever,even tho i am not big "tallica fan
Yaaasss!!
...sweet innocent Sori... ;)
Laughter, laughter...where's that ketchup, I've been after...
Excellent song, and good catch there Sori. Never thought about that.
Crazy !!
great vid guys! she's so cute she couldn't help herself mouth "master!" love it! just saw them march 11, 2019 my 22 yr old son took me for my 47th birthday, epiccc they still are the best live metal show i've ever been to! ✌🏼 you two are adorable
Oh wow. THE classic. Sori I've been listening to this song for 32, since it came out, and I never realized what you said at 11:30 either. I think you're right, though.
So, I'm totally late to the party on this video. I'm 36 years old and I've been a Metallica fan since I was about 13. I have played this song to death and it never occurred to me that the mellow portion of the song could be representing the high and the temporary escape that comes with a drug. That was absolutely brilliant!
I love u guys already after just one day
Thank you !
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Loved this, love this song, love both of you and your channel. I genuinely look forward to your videos. Great work! 👌
Death- flesh and the power it holds
Agreed, my fave by the masters!!
Congrats on 22K! That's a great number for such a short time! And thanks for doing one of the signature songs from one of the signature metal bands!
Sori is so beautiful!!
yes very beauty chyrm lady, how she feel solo is amazing
she is very beautiful. vin ... not Vinnie won her over. lucky man. leave them be.
+belegurth baggins *Huh?* Thanks to the geniuses who designed the current UA-cam UI, I can't tell whether you are replying to *The* *Real* *Eric* *Mitchell* or *FeroMet* - or perhaps *everyone* who voted 'Thumb Up' to the comment "Sori is so beautiful!!" because from the verb "leave" it's impossible to tell whether it's in singular or plural, informal or formal. *In* *any* *case* your whole comment just seems a *totally* unnecessary, even accusatory, over-reaction - unless someone is spamming, harrassing or stalking Sori. Surely *that* isn't the case? Also, who's "Vinnie"??? *Bonus:* Using capital letters at the beginning of your sentences increases your credibility, even if we give any merit to the stupid statement that "This is Internet! I can spell however I want! Use numbers and all in place of letters! Emojis only! WAAAH!"
The Real Eric Mitchell yes sir
The power of make-up...all women look like a million dollars!
Best reaction ever!!!! Vin and Sori
Greetings from Costa Rica, you are the best
They weren't millionaires at this point. No radio play except for a few local LA/SF stations. All word of mouth. @Monsters of rock in '88 they opened before 4 other bands, with Van Hagar headlining. They were still nobodies, until 'One' or 'Enter Sandman' that's when they got big. I saw them with Cliff 3x's. I heard 'Kill 'em All' in '83 and was hooked.
By 85, they were the biggest underground band on the planet in heavy metal circles. 86, they destroyed ozzie on stage. Mainstream means nothing when it comes to early metallica.
Haha Wow Sori's reaction on the breakdown is EVERYTHING !!!! Awesome song..
HOLY SHIT, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AND IM 36 AND HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO METALLICA FOR 20 YEARS AND CANT BELIEVE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT!!!
Cheers from Texas!!
Crazy right??!!
Also My favorite song is definitely “ORIAN”, it’s an instrumental on the MASTER OF PUPPETS ALBUM written by their bassist Cliff Burton who died during the one of the master of puppets tours, the bus some hit black ice and then flipped and crushed him. Many think he is the best metal bassists who ever lived. It’d be so amazing if y’all could react to it. Thanks for the great videos!!
My mind just exploded with that view of the melodic part in the middle 😱. It does make a lot of sense 🤘
Gonna push again for listening to "Orion" off the same album. Such an amazing song.
Plenty of meaning behind it on an album dedicated to addiction, and the effects of it.
oh god enough with Moneytallica. There are other bands too
I've suggested other bands as well.
Been bumpin this record in my car again for 3 years now, and your reaction mirriors my drives completely. Great energy!!!! Love this video you 2. Peace be with you.
Next from Metallica you have to do something from And Justice for All. And Justice for All is a badassed Album... period, bass missing and all.
Blackened is one of the most killer tracks Ever.
One, brought Metal to the masses in a way that as far as Metals exposure to the masses is concerned, is probably the single most important song in the history of Metal.
Eye of the Beholder... Those lyrics are sooooo fucking relevant today it's almost prophetic and it's a fucking badass song.
Shortest Straw is a killer track. The whole fucking Album is killer.
I would challenge you to find any modern Metal act and song for song match their very best album to And Justice for All. There are maybe a handful that you could legitimately compare to And Justice for All. The one track on it, To Live is to Die, is the only weak song (in comparison to the rest) as it is the tribute to Cliff Burton, but it rolls right into Dyer's Eve which is just an Awesome closing song and is one of my favorites on that Album if I had to choose a couple.
We aren't even considering Master of Puppets, the greatest, which just crushes everything.
Agree across the board
How is To live is to Die weak?
TheSuperSaiyan97 weak in comparison to brutality of the rest of the Album. Musically it's good. Not great. It's moving, because of the subject matter. But I just wish it soared a little more. But it was good. It's just the weakest song on the album, in my opinion. Better than many metal bands best though. And certainly better than many metal bands best albums weakest song.
TheSuperSaiyan97 a made a little edit reflecting that. Came out wrong. Didn't mean it was a weak song. Just the weakest among the great.
Alright man I can respect that. I always thought it was refreshing as a break from the brutality, room to breath you know.
Man this just made my day!! Vin it's an adrenaline rush for me every time and my wife looks at me the same way. I really enjoy the videos! Oh ya you have to plug the air cord into the air amp to play the air guitar.
Nice observation by Sori. I’ve been listening to this song for 20 years and never connected the softer part to a “high.”
More Trivium! Try Shogun
I know right??!!
Me either. And now that I think about it, it does seem intentional.
I never did either, but now that i think about it, the whole song could be symbolism for drugs. The fast parts could symbolize uppers like cocaine, crack and meth, and the slow, mellow part could symbolize downers like heroin or morphine.
Perfect
Really? Guess I'm the only one who noticed that when I first heard it
I love how you guys review all these songs, your conversations go so far off topic but stays quite relevant still and it's just so interesting to listen to your conversations. I've been watching your channel for about a week now and just in this past week I feel like I've learnt so much from you guys. Love the channel, keep it up.
Plz react to more Iron Maiden and Judas Priest
Holy shit I have been listening to this song since '86 or so and I have never thought about it the way Sori did. #mindblown
Wow, good insight Sori. The breakdown section embodying the high. I never saw that and you got it immediately.
Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (the studio version of "Days Of Purgatory" album) !
PLEASE! one of the most epic metal songs!
I first listened to this song when I was in my teens, I'm 24 now. I never really focused on the lyrics just on the instrumental. It's only very recently that I started to give the lyrics any attention and I've been blown away by how deep and impactful they are. It honestly elevated this song to a whole other level for me. Hetfield is a lyrical genius.
Great discussion; really opened my eyes. I've heard the song probably a hundred times and I've never thought about it this deeply. I love that you guys somehow related it to Infinity War, which is even more funny to me because Thanos looks uncannily like James Hetfield.
I would recommend Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence. I'd like to hear you guys discuss the themes.
Holy shit. I have been listening to Metallica since I was 14, so 21 years now, and the point Sori makes between 11:15-11:32 about the melody-interlude is genius.
It is reactions like this that keep me coming back for more! Not only is it immensely entertaining to watch people experience your favorite band for the first time, but the fresh perspective can show you things you never noticed as well!
You guys need to react to the live Seattle 1989 version :p
Dookie yes! With the to live is to die intro
ImFroze yessss
I have been enlightened!! Listening to this since it came out in the 80's and never had I thought of the melody in that way! I just got blown away!
I still cringe everytime vin doing that air guitar, and that's not a bad thing,right???😂😂😂
Not at all !
Lol. He's got a unique style!! Horns up Vin!! \m/
Vin needs to leave the room during these Metallica songs.
But he's playing the air guitar kinda the way it's really played on a guitar
Google Air Guitar Competition
OMG! Sori I didn't think of it that way! That melodic part you described is genius!!
sori inpresed me in this one 🙌🏻
Amazing! The two of you, totally get the messages in music. The song is about addiction, and the interlude in the middle, is about that moment when it comes crashing down, but then again it takes control.
You must understand that it is one of rock history's masterpice of all categories. I get shivers all over my body when I have this song. Love this song & or hate it
You really enjoy this master piece!!!! Great videos guys and your opinions of course
Great song and great reaction ! I would love to see a reaction to something from the album "Spiritual Healing" by Death. Maybe "Altering the Future", "Genetic Reconstruction" or "Within the Mind". Or simply "Spiritual Healing". The whole album is amazing. So if you want, just pick any song.
Keep it up. You guys are awesome. And cheers from France :)
I love how open minded you 2 are, much
I have never heard anyone make that point about the interlude meaning that's the high,before the storm comes back! he's right, ThAT was super insighfull,holy crap.My favorite albume since it came out in my childhood,and I NEVER made that connection.Sori,you rock!
P.s. I can spell,my keyboard is not in the greatest shape,so you know
Sori is ON POINT. This song is like those magical MATH equations which looks like a beautiful puzzle at the end. At the first part of the song the addict is at the beginning of his/her drug usage, not the first time he/she used it but still the drugs didn't completely take over his/her life. Then, after he/she crawls back to the "master" and takes it into his/her system, he/she gets high and above which is the calmer, mellow, beautiful, relaxing, soothing part which reflects what he/she's feeling while over the clouds. Then when it starts to creep back (as Vin says) the addict has a brief moment of realization that he/she's getting addicted to it, desperately tries to rebel against the master with those lyrics but he/she can't resist any more and quickly gives in to it with the "fix me" line where the crazy solo comes. That symbolizes his/her regret and anger to himself that he didn't succeed, this time no relaxing, no soothing because even if he/she's high, there's a war within his/her head or soul. When the solo ends the master riff gradually comes back because now it completely conquered his/her life, now his/her life is out of season. The drugs are the absolute master, he/she is fully addicted and there's no turning back hence the laughs at the end...
Nice stuff there guys, you conversing bout addiction, power, and so on..
especially in the end, 34th minute around
where sori talks bout naivety, and how very few get out alive, or Really change their mind, and their lives..
I would call that everyday Heroes.
People, that despite all,
no matter the circumstance, the addiction, the master that keeps on calling 'em
They resist. They find the inner strength, even where noone believes in them
And overcome everything and anything.
That's when the animal human, transcends to whatever daimon, or divine
approaches a bit closer to the concept of our Gods.
Of whatever Higher power, one is trying to grasp, and follow on the path of Virtue (Αρετή)
.
Thank you for the effort and the hours.
Hail to those Heroes.. the Age of Heroism is coming back, imo
Stay true, stay strong, in harmony and balanced, you all.
Love it, kids! Probably my favorite Metallica album. It was even inducted into The National Library of Congress in 2016. The first and only metal album, thus far.
I'd like to request 😇 On Fire, again. 👌
Ok, thats definitly the best reaction vídeos channel, i really loved your both expressions on this (i can see you got metal in your vains) 🤘🏻😬 and ooh i just remember you gonna have a kid!!! Im happy for you guys, you fucking rule haha, happiness to your familly! Hail from Brasil Vin, Sori and kid! 😂
Please react to Heilung- Krigskaldr, it's like nothing you've ever reviewed and you've said how you love bands that take their time setting up the song and this is a great song to hear since you're into that
Brandan McKenzie Or In Maidjan! Love Heilung!
I rocked out with you guys on this one for sure! That was epic! 😆🤘
React to Leper Messiah by Metallica
Hahaha!@1:17 She goes "well that would make sense" with the most serious face and she doesn't even know how right she is yet! Love it!
Death-Flesh and the Power it Holds
yeeeesssssssssss
Nop
^fuck off
Oh, and by the by, you guys rock, you make it fun to see reactions!!!
Great Insight Sori
I love how she talked about the pace of the song going along with the stages of addiction
Please listen to When Heaven comes down by Dokken or Forclosure of a dream by Megadeth
Gamex Simmonds Architecture of Destruction on that album is it for me on Megadeth.
James McClellan You mean Architechture of Agression?
Just thinking back to high school and then going to see these guys live and seeing them backstage. They were kids like me but ultra-talented musicians at such a young age. It's amazing how much the world has changed as I see lots of minorities and others into Metallica now and reviewing/reacting to their music archive. It was odd back in 86 as young like me as a young black man to talk about how great Metallica was. Great to see people recognizing these guys' talent across all races/genders.
I love when people lose their shit over music!! Lolol Love you guys thanks for the Metallica love!!! Legendary! But more importantly, your reviews/breakdowns are unmatched. Rock on Vin&Sori!!! 🤘
Amon Amarth - Slaves of Fear
Tool - Aenima
Best MOP review of any damn channel. Good stuff guys.
Want another one to jam too. Bad Wolves Toast to the Ghost or Learn to Live
Im not a christian, nor a religious person, but man i love your christian view of things, the way you analize and enjoy the songs and also the chemistry between you two. You gained a subscriptor, greetings from Argentina! (Pd: review more ghost bc songs please!)
I actually discovered Metallica on a church mission trip when I was in High School. My walkman had run out of battery so a friend of mine let me borrow his and it had this cassette tape in it. I have never stopped being a metal head ever since.
I hum this tune when I'm out walkin' the pooch. ♫ Master of puppies, I'm holding the leash... picking up poop, now she's pulling me... come running after... who is the master? master, master of puppies she's pulling the leash... ♪
Love that he appreciates the instrumentals. They make beautiful music and Cliff just had a unearthly talent
Lightning, Puppets and Justice.. the Metallica holy trinity.
Was Headbanging with Vin! Love you guys!
Metallica-disposable heroes
....that's so insightful, I don't even think they knew that....
Awesome!!!
Good job you 2.
