Disposable Heroes is an anthem. Metallica at their most dangerous. The song is a masterclass of thrash perfection and the key changes you felt in the solo were wonderful to see you experience. It's hard to take this music in at first listen and we are all enjoying your journey with Metallica. They truly deserve the fame they have earned.

What's the most beautiful thing in Kirk's solo is there no exaggeration in solo. He plays the way the best and that best lies in the song. Not too many tones to show his knowledge, but only to amplify the whole song.

I was in the army then and this song affected me a lot. I started doing coke and weed and ended up in ccf for busting a piss test. I just kept looking around my friends and saying strange things like "we have been brainwashed since we were children to kill an imaginary enemy". So they ets'ed my three months early and gave me a plane ticket home. Three months later, I watched the invasion of Kuwait and thanked luck that I was so ate up. Shout out to the 423'd medical batallion. I love you guys.

There's too many songs off the first 4 or 5 Metallica albums that could be anyone's favorite at any given time, This one however goes full speed for 8 minutes straight and has one of the greatest solo's ever, It's just on another level.

Best Metal album of all time. I got to see them play this once in the pit. It was crazy. I’ve seen the 16 times. Always in the pit. 🤘

I've been listening to this album for 36 years. I still get goosebumps, my dude. What I want to know is HOW IN THE HELL can reactors hear something like this and not immediately listen to everything they can find? That's what started my Metal journey and I couldn't get enough. Keep in mind... For me, it was pre-internet. We had to borrow or buy everything that we wanted to hear. Most radio didn't play heavy metal and MTV was hit and miss.

Well because if they listen to everything they can find without getting a patreon request or money donated first, they can’t claim it’s their first reaction 🤷‍♂️ just being honest either that or they do and lie faking their “first” time reaction to a song

I give this a thumbs up 👍, even before I've watched your reaction. I know you are gonna love this epic song. It's even better live 😊.

They never played it live when they were in their prime-at least, not after Cliff passed.I therefore have to disagree.. Live, Lars can’t keep up the double kick drums, Kirk is sloppy as hell, and James can’t maintain the whirling chainsaw of razor-wire vocals, as he could on the record, or he could back in 1986.

⁠​⁠@@riphopfer5816maybe do some research before putting bold claims like that. They debuted this song in 85’ when Cliff was still alive. Look it up, the live version is here on youtube. I also added the youtube link. They most likely played other times afterwards before Cliff died.

Apparently he's slightly embarrassed by his higher register, but James' voice during the 80s was magic. He's really great now, too, at 60 but there's nothing like his early singing/screaming.

I agree tho I didn’t know he didn’t like his earlier high voice. It’s sublime is it what it is.

When I first heard Metallica. I was hypnotize and I am still to this day 35yrs later. I can honestly say the Master of Puppets album is metal royalty. Legendary!!! Fn out of this world!

There is NO MUSIC like this today!! Metallica just killed it!! Every Song back then was Fantastic!!

Dad introduced me to Metallica when I was 4 years old and I think he had the same reaction I have watching these reactions videos. Seeing someone experience something you hold dear is an amazing feeling. I've listened to every single song Metallica has put out and Disposable Hero's is the greatest Thrash song they produced. The slow draw of the opening, modulation with tempo that pulls you in and the ending where you have no idea if they're going to keep going or stop playing. It's a 10/10 song, glad you enjoyed it man!

One of the best albums ever! I heard this in ‘86 when I was 12 and absolutely love their first 4 albums. Still put on the best live shows, and I first saw one in ‘91. Legends.

I remember listening to metallica as a kid and having these moment of realizing what they were actually saying in their songs. now, older, these reaction vids let me marvel at and appreciate how damn good the music really was and is.

I’m an old lady and was never big on heavy metal but Metallica has a special spot in my heart. 💜👵🏼✌🏼

Look how far you've come, the albums on your wall alone have tripled! It's wonderful to see your musical taste flourish before our eyes this way. Sorry for getting all sappy but it really is beautiful to see you and your collection grow in real time. I wish you, your chick and your channel all the success and happiness y'all can stand

Agree with you. This is what I consider Metal.

You have to react to the metal hammer fest 85 performance ,James announces it as a new song,they absolutely kill it.

IMO the most aggressive song they ever did! 😎

Since I was 18yrs old I've been into Metallica. Disposable Heroes has ALWAYS been my most favorite track. I went to Monsters Of Rock in Buffalo NY in 1990. Metallica performed & they were very brand new!!🔴

"Left to die with only friend, alone I clench my gun." yeah, nuff said.

I relook at all your Metallica reactions and cant belive you dont have this song in your playlist

Been waiting for this one - love it. Thanks. The live performance every Metallica fan will want you to do is 'Metalica Battery live in Seattle 89' - absolutely vicious. James sings like he just had a handful of gravel just thrown down his throat - and I'm here for it - music made by men for men.

Imagine taking this album home for the first time and listening to it song by song thinking with each one that it was the best song on the album and then getting to this as the last song in the album- the entire album is an absolute masterpiece!

Kirk's solos are an incredible work of art, I always feel something new in these solos,I always catch a new part that I think I've missed ❤❤❤❤❤

Please do the 1989 Seattle concert. It's so good, and it's considered their peak.

The Thing That Should Not Be is a must watch, seattle 89 and No Leaf clover from either S&M1 or S&M2 would be great choices

Best Metallica song ever. Not much more to say🔥

I am pleased to see your channel growing so swiftly

Metallica love !!!!!! Hello from Ukraine

This song basically represents the crosses on the album cover. The amount of soldiers that were used to the point they were pretty much disposable. “21, only son, but he served us well. Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say. Finished here, greetings Death, he’s yours to take away”. No retreat: “you will do as I say when I say - (get) back to the front” “You will die when I say you must die - (get) back to the front” “You coward, you servant, you blind man”

Lars was playing at such an elite high level, he was playing out of his mind on these early albums ❤❤❤

Hope your channel keeps growing. I love these reactions - you make the same face I made about 20 years ago when my dad introduced me to this music. Watching someone else hear it and enjoy it is awesome

I've only been able to see Metallica live once, and they opened with this! Followed up with Lepper Messiah, best show I've ever seen!!

Before Jason Newstead their bassist was Cliff Burton who died when the band had a bus wreck while on a tour in Germany. His last recorded album was And Justice for All. So the Black Album was the start of a new era for the band.

Please do "the thing thing that should not be" and the live of it in 1989 in Seatle

one of the greats, one of the greatest greats!

If you're going to react to an album from start to finish I think you should do ...And Justice for All. One is the only song you've done off the album so far so most of them will be new for you. As amazing and groundbreaking as Master of Puppets is, this one is my favorite. There's just something about it. The themes they talk about are as relevant in today's climate as they were when it released in 1988. James' vocals somehow sound angrier. It's the most technically advanced playing they've done to date and the guitar tone is so satisfying to me. One thing to note though is that this was their first LP after Cliff Burton died, and Lars had the bass turned way down in the mix so you can kinda feel it but not really hear it. For some reason it just works for me and the raw sound produced just adds an extra layer to everything. Not really sure why.

Master of Puppets is classically brilliant, but this one is insanity. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

Easily my favorite Metallica, from my easy favorite Metallica album. Was a treat to be present when played live.

if you want to hear a really fire solo from metallica i recommend dyers eve

I looked like you mind melted during that solo

THIS IS THE ONE!!!

Heh heh.....jeez dude! You looked totally spent after this one (and rightfully so)! The one bummer about your Metallica journey is that you can only hear these songs for the first time ONCE. But then you get to move on to the live stuff (they are still cranking out live stuff as we speak). As you've seen, their live performances are on another level. Can't wait for you to take in "Damage Inc." from this same album. They say it's something like 200+ beats per minute.....some crazy number like that. Damage Inc.'s lyrics are brilliant as well. If the U.S. Navy Seals had a theme song, that would be it. It's a speeding ticket waiting to happen. Great vid (as I knew it would be). Looking forward to the next upload.

Sooooo good

If you are gonna do full album reactions, gotta start with thier first album Kill Em All and work your way through thier catalog and hear them mature.

I grew up in a super conservative area. I had a modern literature class in high school, and one of the assignments was to bring in a recording of a protest song, along with lyrics for everyone to read. The teacher grew up as a 1960s hippie, and most of my classmates brought in hippie-era peace and love songs. I brought in Disposable Heroes. That made a lot of people uncomfortable!

Pure metal genius!!!

Thr live version from Mexico City is amazing!!

On a trivial side-note, the main intro guitar riff, is taken from a US television show called Hogan’s Heroes from the 1960’s. Quite sure one can find it here on KZread.

“Metal Militia” is also a very fast Metallica tune

My platoon’s theme song 🤘

Yeah the guitar in this song is just chunky love it

This one’s a banger for sure.

hero of the day ;)...go next

this song, and Battery, are two songs that i listen to when i need energy. no drugs, no alc needed, just listen to some good REAL thrash.

Told you, my friend; “Disposable Heroes” would take you apart in the best possible way 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥…..it’s Thrash Metal Royalty 🔥🔥. Kirk’s guitar solo is so otherworldly….do the live reaction of this song from Mexico 2009….pure crowd-orgasm to be witnessed 🔥🔥. Btw; when it comes to speed go for “Damage Inc,” from the same album….killer song 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

I ALWAYS marvel at James unbelievable down picking... he owns that shite

always makes my day seeing someone discover and enjoy this stuff :) not a weak second on this whole album, imo also! if you want another really strong, raspy voice, maybe check out some Dio. he's an early influence of Metallica's, and one of the best metal singers ever to do it

Imagine being blown away on the day it was released. Tower records was a mad house! lol

Your face 😂it’s like your having to be made to take horrible medicine 🤣🤣 Metallica are genius ❤

Metallica for 40 years❤❤❤❤.
