@ Zach Myczkowski I do not know what gives you that impression maybe you have some yuppie uncle who became a tie ridden accountant or something because you are obviously younger but us Gen X real Metallica fans will never abandon Metallica because we have aged with them and seen their live concerts and read articles/seen interviews and know that they are not bad people. If you remember one thing about Gen Xers remember this we grew up without internet, cell phones, social media, etc and in a time when you would get your ass whipped by teachers at school then again by your parents when you got home for fucking up in school. We didn't even know what cancelling someone even meant because everybody was more mature and could handle the truth whether we liked that truth or not it was still the truth so we dealt with it. We didn't need safe spaces we were smart enough to know bullshit when we saw it and did not embrace batshit crazy conspiracy theories that made us feel better because the truth was uncomfortable we just accepted that uncomfortable truth and went on with life. Like I said there was no internet, cell phones, or social media and you didn't know who was calling until you picked up the phone that was connected to a wall outlet jack by a phone cable and said hello. We communicated by voice over the phone or face to face. We had no subscribers or followers and were not hiding behind screens and keyboards where you can say the craziest most stupid shit imaginable and face no consequences no sir back then you would have had to say that shit in public in front of your friends or family and if you had said any of the stupid shit people post online today like claiming an election was stolen or any q anon nonsense you would have gotten your ass stomped. And if a defeated president would have incited a domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol then got caught red handed stealing top secret documents that traitor would have been put in prison because public pressure would have demanded it unlike today where almost half the country hates our country, hates democracy, hates law and order, and hates the constitution except for half of one ammendment. The whole point is that today there are keyboard warriors who post the most idiotic bullshit that has ever been thought of and they don't have to be accountable for any of it whereas we didn't hide behind a screen we were out in the world and were held accountable for our lies and any stupid things we said and there were real world consequences attached so they way we were perceived was by whether or not our word was good or not. If you were a straight up person who didn't lie or spread stupid rumors you were respected and you would stand by your beliefs even if you stood alone. We were and are fiercely loyal to what we respect and know to be good and we know that Metallica worthy of our loyalty!

If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Honestly if Burton will still alive I would want to ask him how many books he reads, because a lot of the songs he wrote were inspired by literature.

From an Army Infantry Vet, thank you for explaining the different sides of war. This is a combat song. I never served during combat, but know a lot of vets that have. (I have 2 brothers who are Marines and they both are combat vets.) BTW: Thank your husband for me for his service and you for supporting him!

Orion. Period. Cliff Burton's funeral song. Cliff died in Sept 27th 1986 in Sweeden from.a tour bus accident. He was only 24. They played Orion at his funeral. He was a brilliant musician and on their first 3 albums, especially Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets a huge writer. He knew music theory and listened to Classicial music and loved experimenting with strange sounds. Layering. Cliff was/is the soul of MetallicA. You want to truly understand the band, "ORION" is the only choice.

Anyone else wish they could hear these songs for the first time again?

The song is about a book written by Ernest Hemingway, "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The song "Call of the Ktulu", and The Thing That Should Not Be, is about H.P. Lovecraft's novel, "Call of the Cthulu".

Please consider reacting to Metallica’s 1991 Moscow performance of Creeping Death. This is a concert festival just after the Cold War ended with an estimated 1.6 million people in attendance. It was released on November 23, 1984, as the lead and only commercial single from their album Ride the Lightning. Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, "Creeping Death" describes the tenth plague of Egypt.

Their music, riffs, drumming, lyrics sets them apart from any other band, it's been like that since they first started.

Even metal heads that don't listen to Metal, love Fade to Black and nothing else matters. Not many metal bands can do that. I don't like RAP Grime, or Drill and no one has yet to change me on that through a song or two.

"You can't just kill the metal ... The metal lives on ... Gen Z tried to cancel the metal ... BUT they Failed! As they were smited into the ground! METAL!"

Very cool! As many have stated here before, The "Guitar" you hear in the beginning of the song is actually their late Bassist Cliff Burton playing the intro on his bass guitar through a fuzz wah pedal. Cliff Burton was a beast of a bassist but gone far too soon. You should really check out the live version of this song from Cliff'em all (Day on the green concert). Gives a better context of this song.

If Metallica didn't get "cancelled" for opposing the Napsterverse back in the late 90's/early 2000's, they sure as heck don't have anything to worry about from a few whiney, self-important "pick me!" idiots. Rock on, Lil! 🤘

This song live is awesome!!!! And just after this song comes One! With the canons and the stage falling from the ceiling and even more greatness!

Metallica didn’t invent nor truly pioneer thrash but damn did they define it. Metallica took what their predecessors and contemporaries created and solidified it. That’s their contribution to metal and it’s just as important as anything else. Metallica is the defining band of Bay Area style thrash, all other bands following that formula copy them to one extent or another and there’s nothing wrong with that.

The song was written about the book "For whom the bell tolls" about the last charge of the light brigade. Out numbered and surrounded, they were so pissed about the atrocities committed by their Russian enemies that they charged to certain death to deal the maximum amount of casualties, attacking to the end. It is for they, whom the bell tolls...

You should check out the version of this song Metallica did for their original S&M concert back in 1999, when James Hetfield sings the lines "take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will" he waves his hand at the word ill and every single light in the theatre go out plunging everything into darkness, even the band and orchestra completely stop at that point, then it kicks back in for the rest of the verse!

In Donne's essay, “For whom does the bell toll?” is the imaginary question of a man who hears a funeral bell and asks about the person who has died. Donne's answer to this question is that, because none of us stands alone in the world, each human death affects all of us. Every funeral bell, therefore, “tolls for thee.”

7:33 this woman must be protected at all costs.

The song was inspirated in Enerst Hemingway novel with the same name. IT was written about Spanish civil War, a few years before of WW2.

People can cancel themselves, but there’s no canceling Metallica…:)

World war 1 was also called “the trench war” also known as the “chemical warfare” it was a bloody war and many suffered ptsd long before ptsd became a psychological diagnosis

that bit at begining was the bass why its one of my faves love how cliff made the bass sound

The song was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's 1940 novel of the same name about the process of death in modern warfare and the bloody Spanish Civil War. Specific allusions are made to the scene described in Chapter 27 of the book, in which five soldiers are obliterated during an airstrike after taking a defensive position on a hill.

You would love “TO LIVE IS TO DIE” it’s an instrumental dedicated to their original and fallen bass player Cliff Burton RIP

If Load and Reload couldn't cancel the Mighty Metallica, Gen Z sure as hell ain't gonna do it. Yes I am joking, I actually love Load and Reload. Just a funny

Ok so what’s cool is the very beginning after the two bell strike it’s actually cliff which is former bassist who sadly died. But he played Bass guitar. That was the bass guitar ran through distortion. Gave it that badass riff

For whom the Bell tolls was the first Metallica song I ever heard willingly (besides enter Sandman) and I have been hooked since. I listened to the whole ride the lightning album after I heard it and to say a change in my life would be an understatement

i got to see this tour, metallica opening for ozzy in LA - the bass intro on this song is a classic

I like the fact that you are recognizing the pain that veterans go through everyday.

Cliff Burton wasn’t around long enough for many people to consider him as one of the best ever but the man died at 24 and did things with the bass that some of the greatest wish they had.

You've got to listen to this LIVE from the Day On The Green concert in 1985, ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING how CLIFF plays his bass. Also ORION, BEST SONG EVER CREATED. RIP CLIFF BURTON

I've been listening to this song since the mid 90s, but only this past few years when I listen to the outro carefully. I feel like I hear people crying and screaming in pain. I guess that Kirk Hammet mimik this screaming noise with his guitar.

This makes me realize how important writing and poetry is. These lines feel more huge and epic than some multi million dollar movie.

Basically what they’re metaphorically saying in the song is that we all will die: the bell will toll for each one of us...

She is very excited to listen to seriously.

Now that it’s actually explained, and I understand it. I keep getting chills every time I hear it.

Listened/played this song a zillion times. The lyrics are heavy. It amazes me he can play guitar and sing. I just play guitar. Bad ass song!

This song was based on a movie of the same name It was an epic war film. it was filmed in 1943 starring Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Akim Tamiroff, Katina Paxinou and Joseph Calleia. The screenwriter Dudley Nichols based his script on the 1940 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls by American novelist Ernest Hemingway. The film is about an American International Brigades volunteer, Robert Jordan (Cooper), who is fighting in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists. During his desperate mission to blow up a strategically important bridge to protect Republican forces

Its based on a story/poem set during the spanish war Cliffy had i believe a degree in philosphy and this was his idea. Basically in the spanish civil war they had worldwide volunteers come fight for either the republic or the dictatorship in franco, franco was supported by germany and served as test for the german air force before ww2. Stick with me am going back to the song this is about five real volunteers ordered to defend a hill and all five of them are waiting to die as a dive bomber is about to kill them and this is the song. Hence the look to the skies its the last time you will line

Still I recommend the Metallica instrumental Call Of Ktulu

I suggest ride the lightning. It rarely gets any play and has a great solo

If you want to continue down the Metallica warpath (see what I did there 😏 ) I’d recommend Disposable Heroes as a few others have in the comments. Also Creeping Death, live from Moscow 1991, where over 1.6 Million were in attendance, and over 50 people actually died there. And finally Harvester of Sorrow, which they also performed in Moscow.

That low/faint "guitar" solo during the intro is actually Cliff doodling around on bass guitar, with overdrive and a wah pedal.

The song, as stated, is based on Hemingway's For Whom the Bells Toll. Both come from English Poet and Churchman John Donne's 17th Meditation on Devotion, whose exact line is "never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." Which is a reference to a funeral bell. This is the same meditation that Donne's other famous quote comes from: "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main."

You have to react to the live version of this with Cliff. It will give u chills!

Lilly Jane, to understand why they criticize Metallica for putting "Master of Puppets" on Stranger Things you must know about a great group of very traditional and narrow-minded Metalheads and Rockers. These people are trapped in the past of these classic Rock and Metal bands of the 70s, 80s and 90s and they do not accept when a band or artist changes their musical style, make experiments with other styles or even changes their image as Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Opeth, Queen, KISS and some others have done in the past 30-40 years. In Rock and Metal success is like a crime, or even a sin, being commercial is like betraying those "true fans", they call it being a "sellout" like it happened to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, or Foo Fighters. Contrary to what happens in the world of Hip Hop which is the opposite, they respect being real and successful, well most of the time but they don't do as much drama as in Metal. There are some drama about the band Ghost.

Love your take on it ❤

Disposable Heroes is the next song to react to now!

Another great war song by Metallica is 'Disposable Heros'

First just let me say to your husband “ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE” and the way this song touched your “Soul” was just all the explanation I needed. This is 3rd time I’ve watched this on your channel!!

You seem to get it, and feel the emotion from the instruments so much, I still think you should react to Orion, and Call of Ktulu from Metallica.. I'd be truly interested in your thoughts of these 2 purely instrumental pieces. Great reaction to For Whom The Bell Tolls for sure!

its not about war... its about an execution... but you can bend it like beckham...thats art

Before 'cancel' culture was a thing... there has always been an active effort to target and ban heavy metal by thin-skinned and overly-religious freaks... The PMRC scare in the 1980's found its way to the halls of Congress, where they held hearings in 1985 to 'ban' the "filthy fifteen" artists, which even included Prince 🙄... but most on that list targeted by the PMRC were heavy metal bands like Judas Priest, Venom, Mercyful Fate, and W.A.S.P. - and the record industry caved in and put 'Parental Advisory' stickers on records... This, after Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), country singer John Denver, and Frank Zappa testified against censoring recording artists. Even Nirvana got Wal-Mart banning the 'In Utero' album in 1993 cos a song on the album was 'Rape me' (They changed the title on the cover to 'Waif me' for Wal-Mart to carry... but the song was still 'Rape me' in the CD booklet and Kurt was still singing 'Rape me' on it... 😂) Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were both accused in the 70's of inspiring satanism... AC/DC were accused of inspiring the slayings of serial killer Richard Ramirez in 1985. Metallica had been sued in the 90's for their lyrics... they were accused of inspiring suicides w/ the song 'Fade to black'... Slayer was accused & sued for allegedly inspiring the murder of a teenager Elyse Pahler in 1995 by a group of disturbed metal fans, one of whom was obsessed about killer her. Slayer's 2006 album 'Christ illusion' was banned in India. Ozzy was sued in 1986 for allegedly inspiring the suicide of a fan... Judas Priest was also sued for allegedly inspiring a double-suicide in Nevada, by means of 'subliminal messages' in a song. Both were cleared eventually. Cannibal Corpse was banned in Germany for decades after a school teacher reported their first 3 albums to the authorities for 'obscenity'... Cannibal released more records in Germany that didn't get banned tho. This is nothing new... tell these fools to bring it. Heavy metal will "eat them alive" 😈

Thanks for another great reaction! Love your insights into this song, especially from being the wife of a Marine. That put a whole new spin on it for me, and I've been into this band for 30 years! People always want to think metal is brainless, ha! The horror of war is eternal. If I may, I recommend another type of horror, the instrumental 'Call of Ktulu'!
