I think I know another Metallica song that you would really like, it has really great lyrics, it's called "...And Justice for All" it's pretty much about the American justice system and how it has been corrupted by money and greed. the person with more money wins the case, regardless of the situation

I love watching dudes who never even thought of listening to some Angry White Boy music get completely moved by the message. Metal and good rap really share a huge similarity in message. A lot of times its about the fucked up life we live in and how we have to walk on both sides of the good/bad line in life.

Maybe it's just that Metallica isn't Angry White Boy music.... it's Angry Human music, just happened to be performed by AWBs. You really don't see songs stay totally socially relevant after 30+ years if they were written to any specific group of people... the writing is universal. A lot of that has to do with how early Metallica composed; the music was the canvas and base painting, it sets the scene and the emotion. The lyrics are the little splashes of paint that highlight what's going on, handed out as little slices of imagery that instead of telling you a story, makes you imagine looking at the scene from some distance. At least, that's a lot of it. Listen to a few 'first five' songs and think to yourself whether Metallica's in picture painting mode or storytelling mode. Or sometimes both in the same song, like Master of Puppets slow bridge that evokes the junky getting their fix and the euphoria slowly degrading into more need... that scene gets passed to you without a word being said. Only trouble is some people will get it and some need several listens, and some never catch on.

Metallica was the reason I began playing bass. The first three albums of theirs are their best work imo and these are some of the top, relatively hidden from the mainstream, songs of theirs. I love your thoughts on these songs because you really get the messages they're provoking through their lyrics and the emotions they had in dealing with the issues. I recommend Damage Inc. and Leper Messiah from Master of Puppets as well as Four Horsemen from Kill 'Em All. Keep up the great work my man!

Disposable Heroes is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I believe it’s actually about World War I and the waste of human life. If you’ve ever read extensively about WWI it’s some really powerful stuff. I actually listened to about 10 hrs of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast all about WWI and the horrors of being there in the front lines. You should check that out. It’s a real eye opening experience.

"Disposable" is THE best song off this release IMO. Check out "Battery" and "Damage Inc." as well. So glad so many people are really starting to embrace metal. Back to the FRONT LINES - fam!!

I've seen a few other people comment so far that you should check out ...And Justice For All, and I want to say i agree with them. I think you will find that very thought provoking and am very interested in your interpretation of the lyrics. The song was before its time in a way, as it almost feels more accurate now in 2019 than it even did in 1988.

Well, we are not in any wars right now as we were in 1991. Yet you can figuratively make a case for control through big tech social media and fake news brainwashing.

This was the first true metal song I ever heard! I've been hooked ever since

Fight fire with fire is a criticism of the cold war and the US & USSR on the verge of destroying each other with nukes. The opening line isn't "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you", it's "do unto others as they've done to you" which is a very different concept.

@brentw0681

The concept of mutual destruction, if you nuke us we nuke you. Thats what the song is about.

Great reaction. Two amazing songs. I love your platform. 2 or 3 songs by the same band or a mixture. But if course I love the metallica sessions lol please keep them coming. Nothing in my life right now makes me happier than re-experiencing metallica with ppl who appreciate the mastery

Great reaction. Don't know if you have reacted to Creeping Death by Metallica yet.? But if you know the bible. You will realize it's the Book of Exodus. Bad ass song. My top 5 of theirs. Along with Four Horseman and Fade to Black. Also Master of Puppets and Don't tread on me.

back to the front .... the front line of battle

When you said CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL you got on to something I challenge you to listen and read into to the Master Of Puppets album in its entirety and tell me the underlying theme isn’t control. And after coming to that realization I challenge you to come up with an argument as to why that album isn’t a masterpiece. It’s a reason that album (work of art) broke open the heavy metal genre.

To live is to die, and justice for all, of wolf and man -- metallica

Seeing you just jam out and bang along to the solo/dual guitar part of Fight Fire With Fire made me so happy. One of my favorite little sections of the many amazing Metallica songs. I love seeing someone moved by something I love. The rhythym section right there is so infectious

Give yourself a treat to see CLIFF BURTON'S BASS SOLO LIVE ANESTHESIA PULLING TEETH and you will be amazed by the way you are going to think he is playing a guitar but it's the bass finger style the way to do it

Great Channel. Mad Respect. I am 56 and grew up in the 80's in the Bay Area and actually know James Hetfield. Growing up in the 80's and Listening to Metal or saying you listened to Metal was just Wrong to so many in so many ways. You were deemed a "Sinner" Even my Parents I had to hide some Albums from. No one who I tried to explain this music it wasn't all Satan Worshipers would listen. So Seeing so many fresh open minded people these days listening to Metal and understanding it is so refreshing. Keep up the Great Work. again Mad Respect! Subscribed!

Finally someone who get's the lyrics, metal and the message is what it's about, no goochie game here,,

...And Justice for All!

I'm late to the party but here I am in a youtube rabbit hole watching people listen to one of my favorite bands of all time for the first time ever. Love it. You have to remember that Fight Fire came out in 1984, which is basically the height of the cold war and completely relevant socially.

your reactions are what I've been hoping to see.. Perfect amount of jamming out and commenting and understanding of the lyrics..great!

Great choice of songs. The subject matter is more real now and what is yet to come. Metallica is gods music.

And that my friend, is THE definition of thrash metal from the Gods of thrash themselves

Brother metallica has never had a " dance floor" and rightfully so thier metal but I actually like your reaction and appreciate the integrity you showed

Metallica at it best.Been fan since 84

You reacted to disposable heroes AND fight fire with fire? Damn man that's a heavy ass pallet of metal That's like skipping the beer and going straight to everclear lol Salute to you

Metallica was always my band even growing up on rap, they had meaning in their songs that hit you in the chest at times. It may be strange but I see similarities to what 2pac wrote, always with lyrics you could feel. I always look forward to the guitar solos.

Fight Fire With Fire is from 1984, and was written during heightened hostilities between the US (Reagan), and the Soviet Union (Gorbechev). There was talk of a new nuclear arms race flaring up, but it later became a nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and each side agreed to destroy a number of their nuclear arsenal.

New Subscriber and I enjoy your Reactions.

I didn't know this music contained a message, and "I'm man enough to admit that"... I have come to realize in my 46 yrs on earth that everybody has something to say. We just need to be open-minded enough to find the messages out there. I, too, have admitted some genre's of music have deeper messages than I thought they would have.

Great reaction, fam. As for Metallica and how their music is long and almost instrumental, a lot of people don't know this but they say they took inspiration from classical and baroque music such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach when it comes to song writing. Most early metal bands reach back that far.

Love your message.

Seeing them in 2 weeks!!! #jacked !!!!!!

To be honest most of us (military) still hang on to who we were before the service. Sure we have changed, but I think it’s for the better. We learn a lot of life lessons quickly, and learn to apply them faster than a lot of those in the civilian sector. Speaking from 12 years of service. 6 active duty and 6 years reserve. We are not completely brainwashed, and we can still think for ourselves. I love your reactions because yours are real. I can tell you don’t do it just for the money. You can really think for yourself as well. Cheers brother!

A bunch of Metal lyrics are bred from doom, death, and destruction. I was eighteen in '83 when I first heard Metallica's "Kill em All" when it first came out. Thrash/Speed, Hip-Hop, Rap, and Techno-Funk was just starting to pop. It was a welcome change for all us kids and our "angst" at the diet of Disco, Soft Rock, and Pop that'd been shoved down our throats for so long (it wasn't all bad, but sure didn't make you "want to throw a brick at your Mom's head, lol). We needed the outlet though. We partied hard, played hard, and now we had some music that was hard. Throw on a little Megadeth, then a little NWA, and all was good...(and there were no "color lines" either...none of it discriminated...Ozzy and Metallica came to town and there were just as many Black kids there as white kids...and that was in West Virginia, go figure lol)

Love those galloping drums.

Fight Fire with Fire was written during the Cold War. It's a nuclear war protest song.

Great vid brudda

Back to the front... in refrence to the front lines of a battlefield. They are sending them back to the front

All of the - "Metallica - and Justice for All" - comments are right, that really should be the next one. There'll never be another 30+ year old song that gets 'more modern & current', as it gets older.. lyrically.

Thank you
