Introducing a Modern Metalhead to Metallica - Master of Puppets | His first Full Thrash Album!!!

[00:00:08]Hey guys, I'm Alex. I'm Manny.

[00:00:11]>> I bet y'all never thought, >> right?

[00:00:14]>> You'd see this >> you guys [ __ ] thought >> this band on this channel. So, I am as big a Metallica fan as as they come. I know every song inside and out. Uh, they're easily my favorite band right up there with Breaking Benjamin. These are one of the bands that got me into metal in the first place. So, this album I've heard in its entirety, though, it's been a a while since I've heard some of these tracks. Um, and it'll be nice to give my feedback to you guys knowing how much I know about the band and about this album in particularly. Andrew knows or at least remembers >> the only first two songs on this album.

[00:00:52]The rest I don't remember because it was so long ago, >> right? But but Andrew's listen to quite a bit of Metallica himself. A lot.

[00:00:58]>> A lot.

[00:00:58]>> Ryan, >> I've heard one song from this album.

[00:01:03]>> That's crazy.

[00:01:04]>> Puppets.

[00:01:05]>> And that's another reason why, hence why we're listening to it because we want him to hear it.

[00:01:08]>> Yeah. This is more or less an introduction to Metallica for Ryan. Um, but not just because it's it's Ryan and he hasn't heard it, but because he's a newer metal head. So, I'm curious as somebody who has gotten into metal more recently and hearing, you know, what modern metal is, which is vastly different than something like anything Metallica's ever done, right?

[00:01:30]>> Yeah.

[00:01:31]>> Um, I'm just very curious what he thinks about it.

[00:01:34]>> Um, but I'll still give my opinions, too, cuz you guys don't know my opinions about these individual songs. You just know that I enjoyed it. Um, by the way, I listen to songs that are like three three minutes tops with like five breakdowns in it with with crazy good mixing with like like five to six breakdowns per song, like literally. So, >> ADHD, >> it's hard. It's hard to like go backwards once you're like that far down the rabbit hole. Like I listen to bands like uh >> I don't even know what I could say.

[00:02:06]>> Waste Orphan Dissect. Yeah. Waste, orphan, dissect, dealer, >> uh, [ __ ] >> you know, stuff stuff like that. Like, like any any kind of band that follows that kind of formula.

[00:02:22]>> Filth.

[00:02:23]>> Yeah. Filthy filthy metal. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:02:26]>> Like some angry [ __ ] So, it's going to be very different for me.

[00:02:31]>> Yeah. So, this is going to have like this is the thrashier side of metal.

[00:02:34]Obviously, you know that. Um, this is when solos were the were the breakdown >> low key.

[00:02:40]>> So, definitely want to shift your I mean, you know, you have to sh you're going to have to shift your um your your uh >> your thought process. Yeah. You have to shift your thought process here a little bit and just kind of, you know, >> Yeah.

[00:02:53]>> get your listening ears on, as they say.

[00:02:55]You know what I mean? Like actually >> Yeah, I know. Uh, but I'm excited because this is the only setting where I could get Ryan to really sit down and listen to it and like actually pay attention to it. You know what I mean?

[00:03:06]Like as hard as he can. So, uh, that's about it. Um, I I assume we'll get a lot of new people watching this video because this is the first time we've ever done something um, in this genre of metal. So, uh, I will say if you guys want us to listen to an album, you can email us, give me [email protected] or you can, uh, you can promote your band that way as well. So, >> facts, >> just saying. All right. So, I know every song on here. Andrew knows the first two. Ryan just knows Master Puppets.

[00:03:37]>> Eight songs.

[00:03:39]Uh, like 53 minutes, I think it is. All right. So, eight songs, 54 minutes. I know Ryan's already sick about that.

[00:03:48]Ryan wants to see 10 songs. 30 minutes.

[00:03:52]>> 30 minutes max.

[00:03:54]>> 23 minutes.

[00:03:55]>> Yeah.

[00:03:56]>> All right. That's ideal.

[00:03:57]>> That's That's perfect.

[00:03:58]>> I want you to keep in mind though, this is the remastered version. This album came out in 1986.

[00:04:04]>> That's awesome.

[00:04:04]>> [ __ ] That's [ __ ] old.

[00:04:06]>> That's [ __ ] 1986.

[00:04:09]>> Never mind. Alex has every single song from this album on his playlist. This album, this album is different.

[00:04:16]>> This is [ __ ] awesome, Alex.

[00:04:18]>> This is back when you could put a whole album on your playlist. We were just kind of talking about >> Yeah, you can't really You cannot do that anymore.

[00:04:25]>> No, no, there there's too much fluff these days. Yeah.

[00:04:27]>> Uh this is the last >> This album people say after this album, Metallica died uh because they lost their basist Cliff Burton in a uh a car accident. uh like the bus slipped on ice, flipped over and >> RP bro >> he died. Yeah. So, and he they he was the only guy at this time who knew anything about music theory or anything.

[00:04:48]I'm telling you this because chat will if I don't.

[00:04:51]>> Um he was really the guiding light for like he was the one who brought music theory into the band and was like we this we need to do these cool things like this makes sense in music blah blah blah blah blah. So everything was so well orchestrated and then people people say they died off after this point. I completely disagree. The band is still amazing, but this was the last album he wrote. So, um, >> when was Ride the Landing?

[00:05:13]>> That's interesting, bro. I appreciate you telling me that.

[00:05:15]>> Ride the Lightning after or before this?

[00:05:17]>> Before.

[00:05:18]>> The album right before this.

[00:05:20]>> So, back to back.

[00:05:21]>> These albums came out like I want to say two years apart from Wrong Chat. Might be longer than that. I can't remember.

[00:05:27]>> Uh, yeah, we we wanted to do Ride the Lightning originally, but Ryan >> was pointing at him. He's like, "Yeah, I know like six of these." I'm like, "Well, unfortunately, >> that album is good. That might be my favorite, but this would be number two, I think.

[00:05:38]>> Uh, all right. So, we'll start with Battery. Uh, I I'm telling you, Ryan, I think you've heard this, >> but I think he has, too.

[00:05:47]>> I don't recognize it by the name, though.

[00:05:49]>> All right, >> let's do it.

[00:05:50]>> Let's do it. This is crazy. We're doing this.

[00:05:53]>> It's our channel, bro. We do whatever the [ __ ] we want, bro.

[00:05:56]>> Right. They can't They can't tell us what to do, bro.

[00:05:58]>> True.

[00:05:59]>> Yeah, they can't.

[00:06:01]>> I'll adjust the volume as needed. I know this is some older stuff, so Remastered.

[00:06:06]>> Yep.

[00:06:08]>> They knew. Get some pig squeals in here.

[00:06:16]>> They don't They don't do it like this.

[00:06:18]>> They don't do it like they used to.

[00:06:19]We're going to sound like such old heads this whole video.

[00:06:22]>> I love this song.

[00:06:39]You don't remember hearing this? Not yet. I love this song though.

[00:06:49]Oh, you won't have to worry about them holding sections. I'll say that.

[00:07:05]So funny hearing fast triplets now compared to what we hear today.

[00:07:16]Uh what a song, bro.

[00:07:27]Turning the reaction. We go the door way so tighting through the boundaries.

[00:07:43]>> You don't remember this? No.

[00:07:44]>> Nah, I don't. Wow. Okay. He really hasn't.

[00:07:50]>> It's so fast. I know. Isn't it? It sounds so much faster even to me now because of because of what you hear today. This is what I mean though when I'm like, man, they got they got to play guitar.

[00:08:02]>> Yeah.

[00:08:02]>> Here we go.

[00:08:05]>> Like this.

[00:08:06]>> Yeah. Solo. If we heard that today, we'd be like true.

[00:08:17]>> Do you hate the mix for 1986? I mean, it is pretty. No, it's not.

[00:08:26]>> It still sounds kind of full, right?

[00:08:30]>> I mean, not comparatively.

[00:08:32]>> Not comparatively, but like >> it's fine.

[00:08:34]>> Yeah. Yeah. Like it's not like ruining it.

[00:08:37]>> No.

[00:08:52]I love the drums there.

[00:09:04]>> Lyrics.

[00:09:06]>> Oh, good call.

[00:09:20]Shred it, [ __ ] God, it feels good to say that again.

[00:09:26]Let's [ __ ] go.

[00:09:41]solos always sound like the rest of the song. It always belongs. Yep.

[00:09:48]I like the solo when they slow the drums down. I don't like the really fast drums with the solo, though. Okay. Uh you'll get you'll get both in this album.

[00:10:00]>> I just feel like I want to hear the solo >> like the guitar. Like I don't want to hear fast drums. It like makes me focus on that too much.

[00:10:07]>> It's funny hearing you say that. Like I've never even thought about it like that.

[00:10:11]>> This is also like one of the really fast songs on the album, obviously.

[00:10:14]>> Yeah, this is very fast.

[00:10:18]>> And that's also what the song is about, too. Makes sense. Song's about battery.

[00:10:22]Yeah, >> it's about the fans.

[00:10:26]>> I can't believe they were playing this [ __ ] in 1986.

[00:10:29]>> I I know.

[00:10:30]>> This is some fast [ __ ] man. Like, yeah, those triplets, man. I I only know from Guitar Hero. I hate playing them. I'm like, dude, it is tough.

[00:10:52]God.

[00:10:55]Oh my god.

[00:10:58]That's I mean, they hold all their parts. Like when you like a part, that's what that's how you get hooked on a band like this.

[00:11:05]>> So that one I would guess would not be one of your favorites. I knew that before we heard it.

[00:11:10]>> Yeah. It's so it's so [ __ ] fast, man.

[00:11:14]Like so fast.

[00:11:15]>> Well, you talk about it and then I'll talk about it.

[00:11:17]>> I I I already don't really love fast like newer metal that we hear. So like that's like a shock to my system basically. That's crazy.

[00:11:26]>> I just It's so hard for me to like fast drums. That's kind of what it is. Like I really >> Isn't that crazy though?

[00:11:32]>> I'm not even hearing the drums. I'm not even hearing them, you know? Like I am, but I'm not.

[00:11:36]>> I don't like fast drums at all in any kind of metal. So I feel like that's why I mean >> you like some fast kicks.

[00:11:42]>> Yeah.

[00:11:43]>> You like some kick patterns, but >> I like some kick patterns, but when it's like when they do it really fast and then like pause, this is like if it it feels like they like they're doing the song in two times speed. Yeah, that's kind of what it sounds like. Yeah, >> and I know not every song's going to be like this because I I've heard um Metallica songs from other albums and there are some that are like pretty decent to me. So, I know that this isn't like >> it's not. Yeah.

[00:12:06]>> All that they do. But >> yeah, it's not. This was like But like it's the intro track, so it's like, yo, let's let's remind everyone cuz this is their third studio album. Let's remind everyone we're still like that band, you know? We're still that thrash band. I'll say it's crazy though, like playing this in 1986, like everyone must have been like tweaking.

[00:12:24]>> Oh yeah.

[00:12:24]>> What the [ __ ] is this?

[00:12:26]>> Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. This is when like all of a sudden Thrash Metal just came on and and all of a sudden there were all these bands doing it when there weren't really any before. I mean like there were bands that you could consider Thrash now that were doing stuff like this, but not to this level. Like you had this, you had Mega Death, you had Slayer.

[00:12:44]>> Yeah. All of a sudden these bands were coming out of the woodwork. But yeah, that that one that one's a bit of the shock to the system no matter what. But I'm glad you heard it first.

[00:12:52]>> Yeah.

[00:12:52]>> And now cuz now everything else will sound a little bit, you know, like it'll you'll be able to take it in more.

[00:12:58]>> I have a guess as to which song I think you'll like the most. I'm going to whisper in Andrew's ear. Andrew's never heard it, but I just want to cuz I think I'm going to be right.

[00:13:06]>> All right, >> you guys. Well, you can say >> other than Master of Puppets. Okay, >> you can say the mic.

[00:13:11]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um >> All right. I I think it's going to be Leper Messiah because that song is slow and gunky. All right, >> all right. They couldn't hear me.

[00:13:25]>> Let's listen to Good Old Master of Puppets for Andrew. What? The millionth time, >> dude. Yeah, this song. I mean, >> now this is the song I know.

[00:13:31]>> Here's the thing. I think this this song's so easy for anyone to say this is their favorite Metallica song. Yeah, >> I mean I I would understand and I think objectively it is. It probably was at one point for everyone. It was either one or Creeping Death. That's one of my favorite albums.

[00:13:46]>> I think I think one is their best song.

[00:13:48]>> One is unbelievably >> totally totally okay with that. Totally okay with you saying that. So that's actually off of the next album which is when everyone said Metallica started dying. Which I I know that's why.

[00:13:59]>> So they're objectively you're wrong.

[00:14:01]Objective.

[00:14:02]>> So they lied. All right.

[00:14:03]>> They say that because since the bases died, they the way that they coped was their new basis. They removed almost all bass from the mix. they just didn't do it. I'm like, "Bro, you can't do that.

[00:14:15]>> They just you can't do that." But that's what they did. So, um, but even still, that song is still, and there's a lot of good tracks on that, uh, record. But anyway, Master of Puppets, we all know it. It's amazing. Me and Andrew growing up playing Ping Pong in the garage would play this on repeat, bro. Just got us going. I >> I remember the first You know what? I'll save it all for the end. Let's listen.

[00:14:39]Ah, lyrics. Oh, yep. Yep. Oh, yeah. I guess you guys I'm curious if you guys can try to guess what this song is about. You might actually be able to know because 8 minutes of uh listening to you can hear every word he's saying. So, well, I I know most of these lyrics anyway. Oh, you might already know, but I'm curious if Ryan can pick it up.

[00:15:18]Oh, it just feels so good.

[00:15:26]This is running music.

[00:15:32]>> Yeah, it really is. You have to run. You cannot work out in the gym for this. You got to You got to be specifically running.

[00:15:39]>> Yeah.

[00:15:40]>> People are going to get mad you said that, but I >> I know cuz I do.

[00:15:43]>> I know people get mad at that. But >> it's perfect though for a running song.

[00:15:46]It's long, too. Yeah. Why wouldn't you do that?

[00:15:56]>> You will see.

[00:15:58]It's all you need to killing you.

[00:16:10]>> And this chorus is goated. I don't care who you are.

[00:16:12]>> It is a good chorus.

[00:16:17]Your life burns fast.

[00:16:32]>> Yeah. I mean, this is a goated chorus.

[00:16:33]It is. See you just coming in cuz I hear you scream.

[00:16:42]Just coming in cuz I scream.

[00:16:50]So >> God, this chorus is like this probably top 10 course all time low key. Could be. It could be.

[00:17:02]This song has over a billion views.

[00:17:04]place. Come on. Yeah, for a reason. What do you mean your breakfast?

[00:17:16]You will see or it's all you need.

[00:17:19]Dedicated to killing you.

[00:17:32]See, songs are just built differently.

[00:17:33]We're three minutes into the song. Does it feel like we've been listening to this for 3 minutes?

[00:17:36]>> No, it doesn't. Yeah. No, it is true.

[00:17:49]>> And this feels probably way slower than that last song.

[00:17:53]>> Yeah. And this is not a slow song, but like by comparison, Master part's awesome. I love this part.

[00:18:12]>> I can't tell you why it is.

[00:18:15]Just feels good. I need it.

[00:18:19]Let me breathe. And I need it.

[00:18:21]>> Yep.

[00:18:25]Like if if you even if you had a a a really good modern-day metal song that you heard and there was a section like this, right? You'd love it. It just it just doesn't really happen.

[00:18:35]>> Yeah.

[00:18:36]>> Cuz anytime we hear it, we we like it.

[00:18:45]Oh, bro.

[00:18:50]A bro, it's beautiful, bro. It's like lowkey the best part of the song somehow.

[00:18:57]>> Yeah, >> it shouldn't be this good.

[00:19:01]It wasn't supposed to hit this hard, bro.

[00:19:05]>> James Headfield does this solo.

[00:19:10]So, think about that, Ryan. James Headfield, the singer, does this solo.

[00:19:14]Like that's how that's how like much you had to be as a frontman to like play this kind of [ __ ] >> Yeah, I know.

[00:19:22]>> And imagine those riffs that he's playing, right? Like and singing the whole time.

[00:19:27]I don't know how, man.

[00:19:28]>> I don't either.

[00:19:35]Right.

[00:19:37]Yeah, bro.

[00:19:39]You're right.

[00:19:41]Yep. Oh, it's coming. It's coming. Hold on.

[00:19:46]>> There's your build, Ryan.

[00:19:47]>> Yep.

[00:20:46]I don't know why I love that part so much. Can't tell you why either. What's your breakdown, Ryan?

[00:21:01]That's good music, man.

[00:21:18]Perfectly transitioning back into this new reason never ending the number now your life without season I will die you >> I love how they change that too bro yeah yeah your I burn your master.

[00:22:21]>> It's been a while since I just sat down and appreciated this.

[00:22:47]I love the ending, too, bro. Yeah, it's awesome.

[00:22:57]They're all just laughing. Just laugh.

[00:22:58]That's awesome.

[00:23:01]I can't imagine hearing that live. I think I would [ __ ] my pants twice in the span of 5 minutes. Like just hearing I'm like, "Bro, I mean, it truly is a a classic." And it's it's so And you said it too, bro.

[00:23:15]It's so nice to kind of like appreciate this more now that the other music we've been like exposed to and like kind of coming back to it. It's like, oh man, it makes you uh >> like even it's like feel good, but also at the same I can't even describe the feeling.

[00:23:29]>> I know.

[00:23:29]>> I don't even know what it is.

[00:23:30]>> It's it's a mixture of feel good and and still exhilarating allinone. Like yes, it's not nearly as heavy as the stuff we listen to. My >> neck to that.

[00:23:40]>> Yeah. Yeah. But like you can >> I understand you used to though. I get it. No, I used to like I would >> I said Andrew used to though.

[00:23:49]>> No, I would throw his neck to that.

[00:23:50]>> I would. It was different though. It was different. Like this is when you would roll your neck to everything >> really fast, >> bro. Now I [ __ ] hear Russian hate.

[00:23:57]It's like come on.

[00:23:58]>> You know what I mean? Like imagine listening to that and then Russian hate.

[00:24:02]It's like come on.

[00:24:03]>> You know what I mean? It's called having range, bro.

[00:24:05]>> Yeah.

[00:24:05]>> Facts.

[00:24:06]>> Having range.

[00:24:07]>> I'm not low key. I'm not [ __ ] right?

[00:24:09]Like low key.

[00:24:10]>> Low key. Yeah.

[00:24:10]>> Low key. That's why I said low key.

[00:24:12]>> You know what I mean? I guess.

[00:24:13]>> You know what I mean? And there's still a percentage in there where I'm ass.

[00:24:16]>> Andrew likes Metallica, Kublon, and Guild Trip, >> right? And that's it.

[00:24:21]>> Come on, bro.

[00:24:22]>> And that's it.

[00:24:23]>> Come on, bro.

[00:24:24]>> That That song is an absolute [ __ ] masterpiece. Ryan, I'm curious if you knew what the song was about.

[00:24:29]>> [ __ ] >> I mean, I get the general gist of it either. I don't know if it's like a group of people controlling a group of people or if there's one person controlling someone or >> Okay. So, it is it is a substance controlling somebody. It's it's about it's about drug addiction.

[00:24:45]>> Oh, okay.

[00:24:45]>> So, you need to work. Yeah. Like injecting heroin. Chop your breakfast on a mirror. Uh >> oh, that makes sense.

[00:24:53]>> Yeah, cuz then I I saw that. Then I got confused when I saw that. I I wasn't thinking drugs.

[00:24:58]>> Okay, >> so fun fact, I don't know that Andrew even knows this. The whole slow part comes in and that's supposed to be when they're tripping balls >> and then the solo comes in like the rage takes over and they're like, I need more. I need more. I need more. And that's why as soon as they come out of that solo, it says hell is worth all that. Hell is worth the whole trip. Hell is worth me tripping balls and having a great relaxing time and the bad that comes after it.

[00:25:21]>> Alex is saving us all the comments, bro.

[00:25:24]Alex is cooking.

[00:25:24]>> I am. But I mean, someone would have said this.

[00:25:27]>> And like, you know, these are the kind of songs that where people are like, you need to know the meaning behind you need to know the meaning behind it. So, >> I'm telling you that because that adds to the art, you know, when you already like the song and then someone tells you that, you're like, >> "Yeah, >> right." So like that's what I mean by when they play music there is there is >> there's depth.

[00:25:46]>> There's depth. That is the word, >> right? There's that depth.

[00:25:51]>> Yeah.

[00:25:51]>> See that's why you can feel it. Remember I'll say >> that's why you can feel it.

[00:25:54]>> Exactly.

[00:25:55]>> Some some music you know something's going on.

[00:25:57]>> Some music you just you can't feel it.

[00:26:00]>> Sometimes I want to like a song I'm like dude it has all the elements I like. I'm just not into it. Y >> not all the time but it does happen.

[00:26:06]>> No dude it happen. Dude, that's why I always say a vocalist really matters for me cuz like when they're singing, bro, I know if you mean it. I know if you [ __ ] know.

[00:26:14]>> Andrew needs a vocalist's family like his whole family to die or something. So like like the vocalist.

[00:26:19]>> Yeah. Yeah, he does. He needs him to be he needs him to be in anguish, >> dude. I mean Loki, I mean most of the like that I've heard I'm like Yeah, bro. I need him mad now. Something's got to be like wrong with him.

[00:26:31]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:26:35]>> Yeah. So obviously like even Ryan likes that song. That's a >> that's just a certified hood classic.

[00:26:42]>> I I I was I will say though I think as far as like some of their like most popular songs go I think that's on that's like towards my least favorite as far as >> you know really is because of the length.

[00:26:56]>> Uh probably I think some of the length and just how many times they repeated the course. I was just tired.

[00:27:00]>> I get it. I love the course. That's why like I would they could play it for 12 minutes and I would have been fine with it. Yeah. Like I liked it in the beginning and then it just starts kind of getting old. But like I I get I I get it in terms of like how Alex was describing like what the song was about.

[00:27:14]Like it totally makes sense. Like I get it and everything. It's just >> I don't know. It's just my least favorite. It's I'm not saying it's bad or anything.

[00:27:22]>> My least favorite of the very popular Metallica songs that I've heard.

[00:27:26]>> I get that. It makes sense why you would like a song like one comparatively to to >> One has a breakdown.

[00:27:32]>> Yeah, >> it is. It has triplets and pauses.

[00:27:34]There's a [ __ ] OG's. All right. I want to [ __ ] hear it.

[00:27:37]>> That's one of the first like breakdowns I've ever heard. So >> that was my playback ringtone on my old cell phone, bro.

[00:27:45]>> Yep. Every time I would call him, I'd hear that [ __ ] >> [ __ ] Great.

[00:27:50]>> You know what I mean? I'm just saying like, come on, bro. You're going to make me listen to a song every time I call.

[00:27:54]>> Every time. Yeah. I needed to be cool, bro. You know what I mean? I had to be cool.

[00:27:58]>> No, I get it.

[00:27:59]>> Thank you.

[00:28:00]>> I don't know any better. Track number three, the thing that should not be. I would This is the only song I'm not super high on, but watch. You guys will like end up liking it more than me. So, what do I know?

[00:28:14]>> True.

[00:28:26]Hear that [ __ ] >> Yeah. Why? I don't like it though cuz it's slower.

[00:28:36]Oh, this is kind of meaty and chunky.

[00:28:39]Yeah, you guys might like it more than me. I might like it even more now anyway.

[00:28:45]Yo, I just crawled out of the mud and I'm ready. Yep.

[00:28:56]A little bit more chunk. Yeah.

[00:29:07]really like the drum mix there.

[00:29:12]>> I will say I like I like how they have long intros with like riffs that are like pretty good.

[00:29:16]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They get you into the song.

[00:29:18]>> In modern metal, the [ __ ] I listen to, I like a good opening riff for a while sets the tone for me every time.

[00:29:26]>> Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Yeah. And they do this very well. It's something I overlook cuz I'm just so used to hearing them.

[00:29:31]>> Yeah.

[00:29:36]>> Pray for fathering free.

[00:29:50]>> Doesn't sound like something Metallica would play.

[00:29:52]>> I know. It's hard. I think this is a bizarre song for them, too.

[00:29:57]The rest of them sound like that.

[00:30:09]I like this riff.

[00:30:11]>> You guys are going to like this. I'm going to freak out.

[00:30:13]>> I like this riff, but I don't really like what what they have around it so far.

[00:30:16]>> I know. I'm the same. I'm the same way right now.

[00:30:22]>> I know what you mean, Ryan. Like, this is good. Keep playing this.

[00:30:25]>> Yeah.

[00:30:25]>> You want them to build on this so bad.

[00:30:27]>> I do. I do >> badly.

[00:30:34]>> Which is something they do a lot of.

[00:30:35]They love to take a rip and just build on it. So, keep playing that [ __ ] That That's what I'm talking about.

[00:30:44]There we go.

[00:30:47]Falling chaos underground.

[00:30:52]Go a twisted sound.

[00:30:58]Oh, yeah. They're holding it.

[00:31:06]I I don't care what anyone says about Lars. as Lars is the drummer. I think he's great on this album.

[00:31:15]>> And I really love the drum mix. I was going to say the same thing on that last section that he did.

[00:31:21]>> Yeah, >> it was like >> I don't know it. Yes.

[00:31:26]>> Hey, it's a bit more thick.

[00:31:28]>> Yeah, it's definitely thicker.

[00:31:29]>> Had an extra layer on there. It was It felt a little like thin is rising.

[00:31:42]I forgot how chuggy this is.

[00:31:45]>> I think because back then when I listened to Metallica, I didn't care about that.

[00:31:49]>> Yeah, it's like, come on, start [ __ ] shredding.

[00:31:54]>> I forgot lyrics. I'm sorry.

[00:31:57]Yep. Here we go.

[00:32:04]That's good.

[00:32:19]You're going to hate me. I think that's their only solo that I don't like.

[00:32:21]>> No. Nope. I'm with you. That's why I don't love the song.

[00:32:24]>> I did not love it.

[00:32:25]>> Didn't It didn't I usually do.

[00:32:27]>> It just felt It didn't feel like the song.

[00:32:29]>> Yes. Could not agree more.

[00:32:31]>> Yeah.

[00:32:32]>> Right. Yes. And you'll you'll see them do it. I think in every other song they do an excellent job of that. In this one they don't.

[00:32:39]>> Just doesn't feel personal.

[00:32:41]>> Metallica. He didn't need it.

[00:32:43]>> Brian said it before we did.

[00:32:44]>> This doesn't sound like a Metallica song.

[00:32:51]>> Certainly nothing they've done up until this point. Which eternal life may die.

[00:33:06]It's easy to follow though.

[00:33:09]>> Yeah.

[00:33:10]>> You sanity.

[00:33:14]The thing that's going on.

[00:33:20]>> I love James Headfield's voice. I know Ryan is not going to like it, but >> yeah.

[00:33:25]>> This is all I know from this band. I need to hear it.

[00:33:29]The game in the sea for sight under the shadows is rising.

[00:33:44]>> I lowkey like the vocalist.

[00:33:46]>> I I I love James.

[00:33:47]>> So do I. But you know, I was there before all the screaming, so hard for Ryan to go backwards, I imagine.

[00:34:03]We'd have to go all the way back to the first album to get like the real shrieking screaming that he used to do.

[00:34:08]But all right, this is cool. I knew you would say that.

[00:34:27]Yeah, that part's chunky.

[00:34:29]>> Yeah.

[00:34:31]So, I'm right then. I I'm I'm telling you, I'm going to get the song you're going to like the most. I'm going to be so mad about it >> cuz I knew I knew you'd like like they have riffs like that that are chunky and to the to me those I would always just pass over.

[00:34:43]>> But rehearing them like crazy >> because they're faster [ __ ] sounds better, >> right? That's why I listen to this band.

[00:34:48]>> Yeah.

[00:34:48]>> I I like the chunky riffs in that.

[00:34:51]Everything else I disliked.

[00:34:52]>> Yeah. He was hitting every other part. I I liked I liked those riffs though.

[00:34:57]>> This song is like drifty and weird for them. Even for me, I >> This is one song I just never listen to.

[00:35:04]I was like, >> "That was weird. That was a total miss next song and would just listen to the rest of the album minus this."

[00:35:10]>> Yeah. It just >> Yeah.

[00:35:12]>> Even Even Ryan said it who's only heard like a you know a handful of Metallica songs said it just doesn't sound like them. Like they have such a distinct sound. You know when you hear Metallica immediately and I always thought the same thing. This has personality disorder like it just doesn't sound anything like anything I've ever heard from them really.

[00:35:33]>> Yeah.

[00:35:35]>> Good thing to do every once in a while.

[00:35:36]I mean not every you're not always going to make a good song, bro. It's just not going to happen. Nobody can do it.

[00:35:41]>> I'm I'm fine with it, bro. I'm sure it's I'm sure it's a fun deep cut for somebody.

[00:35:45]>> Yeah. I mean, the riff's good. I agree with everything that Ryan said.

[00:35:48]>> Yeah. If I if I liked Metallica, I'd probably like this song.

[00:35:52]>> I disagree. I think No, I don't know. I don't think I don't think so.

[00:35:56]>> Well, for Ryan, for me specifically.

[00:35:58]>> Yeah. All right.

[00:35:59]>> Like, >> well, Andrew, did you like that?

[00:36:02]>> Not really.

[00:36:03]>> Yeah.

[00:36:03]>> And you like the >> And I love the That's why I said that.

[00:36:07]>> I mean I mean, dude, I can name like Ryan would like it. That's why Ryan would like it. He's not like us with that kind of stuff.

[00:36:13]>> Think about all the songs you and I like by that band.

[00:36:15]>> I love You know what I It's just different. I mean, it is different, >> right?

[00:36:20]>> Like, >> all right, number four. Welcome Home Sanitarium. I'd be surprised. Okay, Andrew, you should remember this as soon as you hear it. This is a very catchy song. Um, >> been a long time.

[00:36:30]>> I'd be uh Ryan is probably a 50-50 shot if he's actually heard this.

[00:36:37]Should already know it.

[00:36:42]Lyrics.

[00:36:43]I think I'm aspro key.

[00:36:46]Andrew, I know I'm a fake fan. Andrew, all right, I'll give you some time.

[00:37:14]It's crazy hearing these long intros now cuz like nobody does this [ __ ] anymore.

[00:37:19]>> I know. I know.

[00:37:20]>> Yeah.

[00:37:20]>> Yeah. It's funny you point that out.

[00:37:25]>> And I love these parts by them, bro.

[00:37:26]>> I do too.

[00:37:29]Again, they're so good at at evoking emotion and like feel to a song. Yes, you're so right about that.

[00:37:42]This is amazing. Every song has its own environment. You know what I mean? This to me is amazing. Yeah, it's great.

[00:37:55]>> Never heard this.

[00:37:57]>> I can't believe I don't remember this.

[00:37:58]Uh, chorus is when you'll know for sure, >> but you you'd probably know by now, but you might not. Chorus is very memorable.

[00:38:07]>> Doors, no windows, no things to make my bra.

[00:38:15]>> Love how they slowly start bringing chunks and you're like, "All right, all right.

[00:38:21]And they see why my braces >> now you would know it.

[00:38:33]>> I might stop ringing sad.

[00:38:37]Be happy. I I'm really liking this song.

[00:38:39]Yeah, you'll love this song, Andrew.

[00:38:48]Oh man.

[00:38:50]All right.

[00:38:51]Doesn't it just all fit in the song?

[00:38:53]Yeah. And it's just so good.

[00:39:00]Beautiful. It is.

[00:39:06]I'm jealous you get to hear this for the first time. Oh, feels so good. I need it.

[00:39:13]>> What's out there? Can I breathe the open air?

[00:39:19]whisper things into my brain, assuring me that I'm in.

[00:39:24]>> I know, right? So, I know like it's not my kind of song.

[00:39:28]>> Yeah, it's not. I know it's not.

[00:39:31]>> Come on, bro. I need you to throw down now.

[00:39:35]>> 3 minutes, bro. I get it. I don't expect Yeah, I get it. I get it for me. I just win this.

[00:39:44]They see it right.

[00:39:46]But I think this saves us from my Santa.

[00:39:58]Leave me.

[00:40:03]Santa, just leave me alone.

[00:40:09]>> I just love the chorus. That's honestly what it is.

[00:40:11]>> I like I The other stuff's pretty pretty good though. I just don't like this. I thought you would like the chorus and nothing else.

[00:40:17]>> No. No. The other stuff sounds pretty good. If it was surrounded by a good chorus, I could be [ __ ] with this.

[00:40:23]All right.

[00:40:32]I'm [ __ ] with this, bro. I knew Andrew would like it for sure.

[00:40:37]This is the [ __ ] Metallica does. Yeah.

[00:40:39]This is Metallica.

[00:40:44]Moving on. It's getting restless now.

[00:40:48]You near the air. Got some death to do.

[00:40:53]You're a stand back.

[00:40:55]It was such a friendly way. Seems the only way for reaching out again.

[00:41:10]Heat. Heat.

[00:41:47]Oh my god, there's just no more sweating.

[00:41:54]That was wild.

[00:41:55]>> Yeah, >> that was [ __ ] awesome.

[00:41:58]>> And to make it not sound like gibberish, you know, they're not just like, "Oh, well, tell how long the song needs to be. We got to fill time.

[00:42:41]They hate ending songs.

[00:42:46]This is back when bands did this to end songs.

[00:43:01]They hate ending songs. Bro, you guys go first and I'll tell I'll tell you.

[00:43:04]>> You know what though? Like I don't mind an ending like that. I really don't. I don't know. It's just like >> I don't either. I just >> I'm being biased a little bit, but like here's the thing. I think >> I didn't think that solo at the end was great. I think it got better. I think it got better as time went on.

[00:43:19]Okay. Um, but I think the rest of the song was great though. I really loved how they I really loved the course and I loved everything around it. I just think the solo could have been a little bit better. I feel like it's such an unfair expectation for me though because every time I hear a solo by them, I expect it to be at least like a nine out of 10.

[00:43:37]>> You know what I mean? So like when I don't hear I'm like, "Ah."

[00:43:39]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because of what it could be.

[00:43:41]>> Yeah. Cuz I know what they can do. So I thought that was like the ending part was kind of middle of the road.

[00:43:46]>> Yeah. Yeah. I uh I actually agree with you. I always think that like the solo should have been cut shorter. They could have cut a minute and a half of that song at the end. The solo started peaking at the end, then it should have just cut it. I'm like, h it just kind of teetered off. And at this point, we're just kind of riffing around.

[00:44:02]>> Uh and it didn't need to be that. And I think the rest of the song is amazing.

[00:44:05]It's just it's just a beautiful song.

[00:44:06]>> That could have been 5 minutes and 54 seconds.

[00:44:10]>> Yep.

[00:44:10]>> Yeah. It just felt like they were doing too much at the end to be honest.

[00:44:13]>> Yeah. I I surprisingly like the slow like singing parts more than like the chorus.

[00:44:20]>> I can't I can't get this guy, bro. I would I would I would have had you pinned the other way.

[00:44:25]>> I don't know that first it just didn't sound good. I don't know how else to describe it. I just didn't like it.

[00:44:31]>> It hurts my soul.

[00:44:32]>> The singing was good.

[00:44:34]>> Uh the song was fine to me. I didn't I didn't think it was >> great. I didn't think it was bad.

[00:44:41]>> Just a Metallica song. Yeah, just a Metallica solo and then uh >> Yeah.

[00:44:45]>> Yeah, they just held it too long at the end in my opinion without the vocals there. It was like a minute and 30 seconds without actually. Look, >> I respect I respect it.

[00:44:52]>> Respect. If it's good, it's good. It just was >> Yeah.

[00:44:55]>> Yeah. I thought it was a little monotonous at the end, too. It's just a little little vanilla at the end, but yeah, I'm with you. Um >> yeah, the first three quarters of that song was >> Yeah. All right. Disposable Heroes.

[00:45:08]>> But my favorite one so far >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. My favorite one so far that I haven't already heard is the third one.

[00:45:15]>> What if that's my favorite one on the album? How mad would you be?

[00:45:19]>> We will have a live decapitation. Like >> Oh, I'm so high, too, bro.

[00:45:26]>> This is awesome.

[00:45:27]>> All right, Disposable Heroes. Andrew, if you have not heard this, >> Dude, I'm telling you, Alex, I said the only two songs that I actually remember the first two.

[00:45:34]>> I think besides the ones you've heard, Andrew, this is what I would have picked for you. But don't let that sway your opinion.

[00:45:42]Yeah, you're right.

[00:45:45]This song is incredible.

[00:45:46]>> If there's anything like this sounding right now, Alex is probably going to be right.

[00:45:51]>> It's going to be hard to steer me away from Master of the Puppet, though. I don't know. I know. That's a big ass.

[00:45:56]>> I'm saying besides those.

[00:45:57]>> Okay.

[00:46:00]>> You're off to a good start, bro.

[00:46:04]I like it.

[00:46:10]8 minutes.

[00:46:11]>> It won't feel like that.

[00:46:20]>> Yeah, I was going to say hit that thumb.

[00:46:22]Oh [ __ ] you have to. Those pauses, man, are so fast. And this is another one of those where like it's just so tight.

[00:46:40]I know. I'm telling you, you're so right already.

[00:46:44]There's only one part of this song you might not enjoy, but the rest of it, this is a heater.

[00:46:51]That guitar is going. It is. Thank God.

[00:46:54]All right. How about now?

[00:46:59]>> What even is that? That's a guitar.

[00:47:03]>> I know it's a guitar. I don't know what he's doing on the guitar. of strumming fast and precise.

[00:47:10]How do you get tired? Ryan the people people call James James Headfield who is doing all that strumming >> uh right hand of God right hand's a strumming hand.

[00:47:25]>> So he's still playing as he's singing right now.

[00:47:28]>> Yep. That's crazy though.

[00:47:31]>> That's awesome.

[00:47:34]It's >> not onedimensional.

[00:47:38]>> Nope. Right.

[00:47:40]>> Got that right.

[00:47:41]>> How's he doing that? I can't even pat my head and rub my stomach.

[00:47:45]>> Look, I can't do it.

[00:47:48]>> I can't do it. That's why he's on stage, I guess.

[00:47:53]>> Listen to that guitar. How are you singing?

[00:48:03]Oh, I like this. I know. I know you'll like this one. Oh, man.

[00:48:10]It's got like that Master of the Puppets type of like >> Oh, man. Has that same kind of concept.

[00:48:18]Come on, bro. It's my bad.

[00:48:20]>> They're just trying to enjoy this, right, bro? Like, this is really good.

[00:48:23]Don't worry about >> Ryan. Just Andrew.

[00:48:33]All right. You know what? Let me not ruin anything for you. Getting too excited. Sorry.

[00:48:46]All right.

[00:48:53]>> This part is just insane to me.

[00:49:07]Oh man, they're building.

[00:49:13]>> Yes. Okay. Yes. Oh, it's not the big one yet. I still like this, but it will come. I love this. Wow. All right.

[00:49:23]This is the part I would think Ryan would like.

[00:49:27]Back to the front. You will do what I say. When I say back to the front, you will die. When I say you must die back to the front, you coward, you deserve it, you blind man.

[00:49:43]Like trapped under ice mixed with master of the puppets, bro. Okay. Yeah, I hear it.

[00:49:54]Oh, yeah.

[00:49:58]>> Says like a creeping death ch. Right, Ryan.

[00:50:08]There we go.

[00:50:11]Yes. Yes.

[00:50:16]I needed to hear this. I know. Bad.

[00:50:21]Bad.

[00:50:28]Oh man, he's sweating. Oh, he is.

[00:50:30]Oh my god, he's swe.

[00:50:36]Oh wow.

[00:50:51]Wow. Still going.

[00:51:01]Dude, he is Oh my god.

[00:51:04]How insane is that solo, bro? That was impressive.

[00:51:09]God damn.

[00:51:19]>> I do, right?

[00:51:24]>> I really like this part. Yeah.

[00:51:33]Fast boy.

[00:51:45]>> That Trey part was like 75 years, >> dude.

[00:51:49]>> And it got better as time went on. I can't >> I know, dude. I was sweating the first time I heard that. just sweating.

[00:51:58]>> Yeah, >> I knew you would like that.

[00:52:04]>> Now an empty shell 21 son, but he served as well to kill.

[00:52:23]Yes.

[00:52:26]>> My god, again. I love this part.

[00:52:29]>> It's so funny hearing Ryan say again.

[00:52:31]I'm like, I'm so used to hearing it.

[00:52:36]Yeah, they probably didn't need this though. No, they didn't.

[00:52:41]You will do what I say. When I say back to the front, you will die when I say you must die. Back to the front. You coward. You deserve it. You blind back the front.

[00:53:00]Back to the front.

[00:53:02]Oh man.

[00:53:05]Curious if you guys know what the song's about.

[00:53:12]>> Disposable heroes.

[00:53:17]Anything to do with like the army? Ding ding ding ding.

[00:53:22]Yep.

[00:53:25]You you you'll die when I say back to the front. Yeah.

[00:53:30]Yeah. How you know soldiers in war are just disposable. Yeah.

[00:53:35]Very anti-war song. Look at Andrew's cooking.

[00:53:40]I mean, they talk about that like creeping. They talk about war a lot. I just know what this band usually sings about for the most part. Yeah.

[00:53:47]Oh.

[00:53:54]Like that was awesome. They ended like that, but like I didn't need the last like minute of that.

[00:53:59]>> They didn't they didn't do that last minute.

[00:54:01]>> Oh, you're so right. That That was besides Master of the Pup. I don't know.

[00:54:04]I really liked Battery.

[00:54:06]>> I think that's miles better than Battery in my opinion. I I What can Ryan even say there? I got to >> This song is just so long, man.

[00:54:15]>> It's so long.

[00:54:16]>> These songs are just so damn long.

[00:54:19]If that Okay, imagine the song is 2 minutes shorter. What do you think about the idea of the song? You would like it?

[00:54:24]>> Yeah, the Yeah, the idea is cool. I I I just honestly if all these songs were like 5 minutes, I'd be completely fine with all of these songs to be honest.

[00:54:33]>> I get the eight is just a little bit too much. It's just like too many repeating parts after a while where I feel like >> I get it.

[00:54:40]>> Like you could repeat a part like two maybe.

[00:54:43]>> Even me in the public though, bro.

[00:54:46]>> Well, he did about it. Yeah. I just want to see if you change your mind.

[00:54:51]>> He's got to like it, right?

[00:54:52]>> I don't think he got >> He doesn't dislike it. He just thinks they're too >> You know what I mean, though?

[00:54:57]>> Yeah. All right.

[00:54:57]>> I think like what Ryan's saying is they're too long for him to get that much into it.

[00:55:01]>> No, he's right. And I get it.

[00:55:03]>> Like it just feels like all right, I'm like kind of over this at this point at a certain point.

[00:55:07]>> Yeah. No, no, no. I I get it. And I feel like that that maybe >> I don't I don't want to say makes my opinion biased because that doesn't really make sense. But I guess for lack of a better word, kind of makes me biased towards the songs when I'm already going into it cuz I'm just like, >> all right, there's probably going to be points where I'm like done with the song. Even if even if I liked the first four minutes, it keeps going for four more minutes. I'm like, well, I'm not going to listen to this now because >> I don't know. I'm not going to listen to half of a song.

[00:55:36]>> Yeah.

[00:55:37]>> Did you Did you like certain sections?

[00:55:40]Did you like certain sections? Like I'm curious. Like I think that's one of their best solos. They were [ __ ] middle.

[00:55:45]>> Like do you think that was cool to you though >> to me?

[00:55:48]>> Um there's some solos I really like.

[00:55:52]I think the the big solo that they had was pretty good. Um I wouldn't say it was like amazing though for me. Like I think I think what they're doing is amazing.

[00:56:03]>> Like I think it's Yeah, it's awesome but like I just don't love the sound of it.

[00:56:07]I don't really know what else what else to really say. I get it. I get it.

[00:56:11]>> The guitar is cool. Like how how he's >> like how he's playing the guitar is cool. Like I can't believe he can play it like that. But like >> Yeah.

[00:56:19]>> As far as me listening to it, like >> Yeah, that's all that matters to me.

[00:56:24]That hurts me. But I get it.

[00:56:26]>> It still hurts me. But it still hurts.

[00:56:27]>> Yeah.

[00:56:28]>> Because God, I think that's amazing.

[00:56:30]>> I think that's one of the best solos they've ever made.

[00:56:33]>> Wow.

[00:56:33]>> I do agree with both of you that they need to trim the fat at the end there. I do not need to hear any really much of anything after that solo.

[00:56:41]>> I get why.

[00:56:41]>> Yeah. I mean, they're always just trying to drive the points home and and really Metallica is all about like really airing out those um those sections like those riffs. Like if you like them, that's why people who like Metallica love Metallica because if you like a riff and you just keep hearing, you're like, "Oh, yes." They just keep doing it, you know? It's just like we do in in modern metal except they do that for one and a half minutes instead of four.

[00:57:05]>> Yep. Yes.

[00:57:06]>> All right.

[00:57:07]>> You're right.

[00:57:07]>> Yeah. I think that's one of their best tracks. Um, period in my opinion. Um, >> it's a good one.

[00:57:14]>> It's It's just >> It's a good one, bro.

[00:57:16]>> Yeah.

[00:57:17]>> All right. Leper Messiah. All right, Ryan. Five minutes.

[00:57:20]>> There you go, bro.

[00:57:21]>> All right. There you go.

[00:57:33]>> This has a very different feel. I'll say that.

[00:57:46]>> Oh, what the [ __ ] Yeah.

[00:57:53]>> Wait, I I [ __ ] knew it.

[00:57:58]What did I [ __ ] tell you? It's exactly what he said, bro. You're right about Disposable Heroes, right? I think that is my second favorite besides He's gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna throw my hat out the window.

[00:58:13]>> I'm laughing cuz I know why you said it.

[00:58:16]>> Yep. I knew as soon as you went Wait, this is one of my favorite songs, too, for the same reason that we all would like it.

[00:58:27]>> I like what I'm hearing so far a lot.

[00:58:33]So comes to town.

[00:58:36]You play spreading his disease. Living by his story for his glory.

[00:58:52]You will time for us. Time for life. Time to kiss your life goodbye. Send me a contribution and you'll get the best to me.

[00:59:19]This is so chunky.

[00:59:22]Ooh.

[00:59:32]Can't do that to me, >> right?

[00:59:35]>> Yeah.

[00:59:36]>> Slapping my tits around.

[00:59:37]>> This is This is the most different good song they have in my opinion on this album. I [ __ ] with it.

[00:59:53]The game stinking drunk with power. We see. We see.

[01:00:05]This is the only part where I'm like, "What the [ __ ] is this?"

[01:00:10]>> Like this right here.

[01:00:14]>> Like we're just we're just trying to fit it in there. Why?

[01:00:17]>> I know. Why?

[01:00:18]>> I don't know. Just for a switch up change up in the rhythm. I don't know.

[01:00:25]>> This riff is Yep.

[01:00:30]We have to, right?

[01:00:37]Yeah. I needed that. I [ __ ] with that, right? Yeah.

[01:00:47]I keep eyes on that one, right? Yep. You got to let him know. Yep.

[01:00:54]Excuse me.

[01:01:12]>> Wow. All right.

[01:01:14]>> I love these triplets here. Or more of a machine gun trip, but whatever you want to call it.

[01:01:22]>> Oh my god.

[01:01:27]I don't know why they had to make it sound like it's in a tin can, but yeah.

[01:01:40]I I so good.

[01:01:57]Oh my god.

[01:02:00]Like this. It's different, but you know it's them. You know what I mean? Yeah.

[01:02:11]Time for your life.

[01:02:19]You will make you get the first die.

[01:02:47]How do you transition into that? That was a cool transition. I'm not going to lie. They're the kings of transitions, bro.

[01:02:59]Dude, Alex, that that that transition when it started, do you know what it sounded like?

[01:03:08]>> No. No. Cuz I'm so blinded by how many times I've heard this. Yeah, it's it sounds like the Gimme Breakdowns intro we made for our latest headbang challenge.

[01:03:21]>> For like two seconds it sounded like I was like, "Oh my god, that's where they got it from."

[01:03:25]>> I know what you mean.

[01:03:27]>> I would have never tune, bro.

[01:03:29]>> I would have never never made that connection.

[01:03:31]>> No, it was stupid. Yeah, that that was the best song I heard so far.

[01:03:35]>> Yeah.

[01:03:36]>> What did I tell you? I knew when we started.

[01:03:38]>> I think that song was actually great though. It is. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was great. It was It was a great >> solo was good, too. That was one of my favorite solos so far, too.

[01:03:46]>> I thought the solo I knew he was going to say that [ __ ] tune.

[01:03:50]>> Even Even though the mix wasn't good, I was like, the feel for this is just This is all up Ryan's alley. It had triplets.

[01:03:56]It had slow chuggy riffs.

[01:03:58]>> It was >> I like the slow chugs.

[01:04:00]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[01:04:01]>> I didn't absolutely love the solo, though. I really didn't. I was like, it it was like good, but I wasn't like it.

[01:04:07]Yeah. It's just a little short. But then I knew >> that I just didn't love it.

[01:04:10]>> I I thought Ryan would like it because in addition to that solo right after I just I just know that Ryan's going to like a riff. I don't know. I don't know how I knew he would like it. As soon as it started though, when he stankfaced, I'm like, "Fuck this guy."

[01:04:25]>> That's exactly what he said, bro. It's so funny.

[01:04:27]>> I knew he'd like it, though. And Ryan, of course, that is by far the least played song on the album besides the the last song.

[01:04:34]>> Yep. That's usually how it is for me.

[01:04:37]Yeah. Yeah. I kn I knew it. I [ __ ] knew it. And you know, for a long time I didn't listen to this song and I'm like, "What is this song, bro? This song."

[01:04:44]>> And I'm not I'm not even one of those people that tries to act cool where I only like [ __ ] people don't listen to.

[01:04:50]>> No, I know. Yeah. You don't I don't because I like a lot of very popular metal, too. But >> Yeah.

[01:04:54]>> I don't know.

[01:04:56]>> Yeah. It just >> It's kind of how it is sometimes.

[01:04:58]>> Yeah. It's It's I'm not surprised. It was a lot It started a lot slower. It was way easier to get involved in the song.

[01:05:05]>> Yeah. And it was way shorter. Like as soon as you said if these songs were like 5 minutes and I said the only [ __ ] fiveinut song >> is the one that I think he's going to like >> is the one I think he's going to like. I knew it. I knew it. I I've grown to appreciate this song. Uh the song is about um like they think churches are like pastors at churches are scams. Um like they're just in it for the money.

[01:05:27]>> Yeah.

[01:05:27]>> Uh that's why like all you do is lie like send me money, send me greed.

[01:05:31]Heaven you will meet. Yeah.

[01:05:33]>> Make a make a contribution and you'll get a better seat, >> right?

[01:05:36]>> Wow.

[01:05:36]>> Yeah. So, uh >> yeah, it it that song there's something about those chugs that where you're just like this.

[01:05:47]>> Yes, dude. I was I was thankf facing, bro.

[01:05:50]>> For them to have chuggy riffs like this back then for for their kind of music is so nice to hear.

[01:05:55]>> Yeah.

[01:05:56]>> Well, especially because all the other I mean, I shouldn't say all, but there's a lot of tracks on here that are fast. So like hearing a breakup like that in the album definitely sounds >> especially after Disposable Heroes which was like lightning fast.

[01:06:08]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[01:06:09]>> And you guys have said nothing bad about the mix which is how I know that like these guys were ahead of their time. Granted this is a remaster but even so I remember hearing this and never really >> I'm just okay with it cuz it was 1986 bro.

[01:06:23]>> Yeah. But like if if if this was a band from like 2008 you would >> be mad, right?

[01:06:29]>> Yeah.

[01:06:30]>> Yeah.

[01:06:34]What are you guys doing? You guys are gone.

[01:06:37]>> Yeah, we're just too high, bro.

[01:06:40]>> It's good. It's good getting high for these specific kind of reactions because I can just like I can just sit and listen and like dissect it better.

[01:06:49]>> Yep. Yeah, I totally agree.

[01:06:51]>> So, you didn't mind that the solo sounded like it was in a tin can? I didn't love because No, just because I just like the feel of the solo.

[01:07:00]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Me and Andrew are going to be on the same board about about most of these things cuz we know what we like from Metallica and this that solo didn't sound like it, but I understand why you like it. Like I still do like it now. I've heard it enough times. Yeah. The feel of it. It fits the the theme of the song perfectly and you can't explain it.

[01:07:17]>> Yeah.

[01:07:18]>> Yeah.

[01:07:19]>> All right. Oh, Ryan, this is a instrumental.

[01:07:24]>> That's awesome. Okay. All right. I'm cool with that.

[01:07:26]>> Minutes, >> you know, I'm cool with that.

[01:07:28]>> No, dude. I'm telling you.

[01:07:30]>> Telling you rip.

[01:07:32]>> Uh, this So, a lot of the guitar in the beginning is going to sound like the guitar, but it's really the bass guitar played by Cliff Burton.

[01:07:40]>> Smoke me, Cliffy Boy.

[01:07:42]>> Andrew, I I swear you've heard this, but if not, dude, this is a track you just you just do this.

[01:07:48]>> A Oh, I need it.

[01:07:52]>> If it's from this band, I need it badly.

[01:07:54]Yeah. The only other band that can make me feel like that is Breaking Benjamin.

[01:07:58]>> Yep.

[01:08:09]>> Right.

[01:08:10]>> Yeah.

[01:08:11]>> Is he wrong?

[01:08:12]>> No.

[01:08:19]>> You have to.

[01:08:20]>> I had to do it before someone else did.

[01:08:22]>> Yeah. Someone would be real. Y >> picture you doing now every single time I hear it though. That's awesome.

[01:08:39]Probably just going to get steadily getting better before you know it.

[01:08:42]They're going to draw it out, but it's going to slap at the end. I know it.

[01:08:46]There's going to be 15 solos. You're going to keep You're going to hear every single part all the way up until they drop it. Do you know what I mean?

[01:08:53]I can't answer that question.

[01:08:54]>> And they're just going to keep adding layers. I just know it. Can't can't comment.

[01:09:05]I'm running through the woods right now, bro. Yep. Yep.

[01:09:10]We're under attack.

[01:09:13]>> God, am I kind of like galloping on a horse, I feel like.

[01:09:16]>> Oh, yeah. In the open plains.

[01:09:19]>> Yes.

[01:09:21]I get it.

[01:09:23]Like that'd be kind of cool. It would be.

[01:09:25]>> Yeah. And you're like this.

[01:09:28]>> Yeah. That's peak. The sun is rising.

[01:09:31]>> Yep. That's peak.

[01:10:02]Such a good rift.

[01:10:08]And they double down on every riv.

[01:10:28]just beautiful. They can't keep doing this thing, bro. Just artistic, bro.

[01:10:32]>> I I know. And I hate that I like it, you know? I really do cuz I shouldn't like it.

[01:10:38]>> I get it. Realistically, this is one This is one of the more popular tracks on the album, though. Everyone loves this song, so you don't have to feel bad.

[01:11:02]>> Yeah, the solo over this riff is good.

[01:11:04]>> Yeah, I knew this is so good.

[01:11:06]>> Undeniable.

[01:11:09]This >> is what I mean.

[01:11:12]If you hear a solo like they did the solo over the right riff to do it on.

[01:11:15]>> Yep.

[01:11:21]>> It just so felt like the song. You know what I mean?

[01:11:24]>> Oh, bro.

[01:11:25]>> Yeah. God.

[01:11:35]Oh, this is perfect cuz you guys did drugs.

[01:11:44]Ryan's about to ascend, >> dude. Yeah, dude. I can Let me just close my eyes.

[01:11:49]>> Yep.

[01:11:55]>> Hey, you got to shut the door.

[01:11:57]>> I know. You're so right.

[01:12:03]Right.

[01:12:13]I'm on the beach.

[01:12:14]>> Oh yeah.

[01:12:15]>> I can feel the waves, bro. You just got out of the water.

[01:12:21]>> Feels like this was made to take mushrooms.

[01:12:41]Yeah, it's hitting a little bit different. It is, dude. It's Especially right now cuz I'm thriving. They're like flirting with me a little bit though.

[01:12:48]>> Yeah.

[01:12:49]>> You know what I mean?

[01:12:50]>> So cute.

[01:12:53]>> Like they're building up to try and really let me know that they want to [ __ ] me.

[01:12:57]>> Exactly. They want to feel it.

[01:12:59]>> I can feel it.

[01:12:59]>> They want your guard down.

[01:13:01]>> They do.

[01:13:01]>> Vulnerable.

[01:13:02]>> They do. They want to be vulnerable. And I get it.

[01:13:05]>> That's awesome.

[01:13:06]>> Yeah, it is pretty cool. A nice gesture.

[01:13:09]>> It's the least they can do.

[01:13:10]>> It is.

[01:13:22]>> I wouldn't feel bad if I listen to this at a coffee shop.

[01:13:26]>> Yeah. Yeah. Doing some work.

[01:13:30]>> Just busy work that, you know, you don't need that much brain power for.

[01:13:33]>> Yeah.

[01:13:37]>> Andrew, they don't they don't make it like this anymore.

[01:13:39]>> They don't, bro.

[01:13:41]>> If you heard even >> I'm probably just being biased, but I just love the sound of it.

[01:13:46]>> If you were 20 seconds of a section like this in a new song, you'd be freaking out, right? Like in a really heavy track, you'd be like, "Dude, this is sick."

[01:13:54]Like if Nether Walker played this, I'd be [ __ ] twerking, right?

[01:13:59]>> I would be. I know it >> because they do solos, bro. I really like that.

[01:14:08]>> The guitar is singing to me. Adds flavor to the song.

[01:14:13]It's a musicianship, you know what I mean, bro? Yep. Let him do it, bro.

[01:14:31]Hate to say it, but it's a journey, bro.

[01:14:34]Oh, that was so awesome, bro. I could have sat in that for 5 minutes. I I know I could have. Yeah.

[01:14:50]Heat.

[01:15:12]Like look how we transitioned back here.

[01:15:14]All of a sudden we're here.

[01:15:18]Awesome.

[01:15:21]You're not sure how it got there, but you're still fine with like why is it making sense to me? Yep. Stop making it make s make sense, right? Yeah. Yeah, you're absolutely right.

[01:15:41]Instrumentals are another thing you almost never hear anymore.

[01:15:43]>> Yeah, >> these guys have like one per album typically.

[01:15:50]>> I know why they did it. They they didn't need that last part. This could have been like 755 low key.

[01:15:57]But um dude, that middle part was beautiful, bro.

[01:16:03]>> Yeah, >> that was awesome.

[01:16:05]>> That's just that's like you said, that's just musician [ __ ] >> Yeah, like just let him do it, bro.

[01:16:09]>> Yeah, >> I [ __ ] with it.

[01:16:11]>> I I love that song. It just makes me feel good, >> dude. I could have sat in that part for an hour. Yeah, it's that that's musical genius to me to make an entire song section to section where there's no vocals, doesn't drag at all. Yeah.

[01:16:30]Right. And just like good riff after good riff after good solo after good solo taking you through all the ups and downs, you know, like again they just all of a sudden you you go from hard, soft, hard just like me throughout the day, you know. That's fair.

[01:16:48]>> Yeah, I get it.

[01:16:49]>> That's fair.

[01:16:50]>> I think the best part of that song was um that riff they held I think about two or three minutes in and then they had the first solo over top.

[01:16:59]>> Yeah.

[01:17:00]>> Yeah. Yeah, I think that was my favorite part. I think like the middle section was was cool. I don't know. Like I didn't dislike any section, but I just have a problem with like an instrumental being that long.

[01:17:12]>> Like I get it.

[01:17:14]>> Like I have I already have a problem with songs being that long and then it's like an instrumental and it's that long.

[01:17:19]It's just like ah >> I get I understand the premise.

[01:17:23]>> There wasn't any bad parts of that song.

[01:17:25]>> Yeah. If if that if they somehow could condense a song like that into three minutes, you'd been like, "Man, that was [ __ ] awesome."

[01:17:31]>> Yeah. Exactly. I get it.

[01:17:32]>> Exactly.

[01:17:33]>> But yeah. Yeah. There there's no denying how musically adept these guys are. I mean, that song to me is a masterpiece.

[01:17:41]That is >> I I don't know how you can evoke so much emotion out of a song without lyrics.

[01:17:47]>> You just got to smoke them. And they [ __ ] smoked them. I mean, they just smoked them.

[01:17:56][ __ ] smoked them.

[01:18:02]>> All right.

[01:18:02]>> All right, bro.

[01:18:03]>> Let's Let's bring it home. Another five and a half minute or for Ryan. The shortest song on the album besides uh Battery.

[01:18:10]>> I get it.

[01:18:10]>> What is it?

[01:18:11]>> Damage Incorporated.

[01:18:13]>> All right, bro. I'm ready.

[01:18:14]>> Damage Inc.

[01:18:17]>> A great name for a song, bro.

[01:18:19]>> Yep.

[01:18:19]>> I get it. Right. Like metal.

[01:18:21]>> Yep.

[01:18:22]>> I'm going to keep saying that.

[01:18:23]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:18:24]>> Metal. And you would be right as I'm I'm paying attention now to how like they they have all these intros where they really ease you into the songs. I would have never said that if Ryan didn't mention it. I'm just so used to hearing Metallica do that. I'm like, "Yeah, I mean, duh. That's what they do." But cuz we don't hear that often.

[01:18:45]Song just starts and you know, they're just Yeah. You know, and we're in the song.

[01:18:50]>> Yeah. Like literally >> followed by triplets.

[01:18:52]>> Yeah.

[01:18:53]>> Yeah.

[01:19:02]It makes sense from how the the last song faded out into this, too. I probably should have done that, but [ __ ] you guys. You they're going to yell at us about something. So, and I know I should have done that. I know I should know better, but Excuse me.

[01:19:48]What are you talking about? Going out like they went in.

[01:19:53]Thank God cuz I was about I was I was starting to get a little mad mad.

[01:19:59]>> Couldn't get away.

[01:20:05]I should know better.

[01:20:13]>> Oh, this is fast. Why are these flies faceing us right now?

[01:20:25]>> No one's going to get underneath dying on your feet for a day for the not even following your till the end. I will follow incorporated.

[01:21:01]>> This might be my least favorite song here.

[01:21:04]>> I kind of figured that would be the case.

[01:21:12]There's nothing for you to cling to on this song. No, everything's fast. Even the vocals.

[01:21:17]>> Yep.

[01:21:22]>> Because like you just don't want to like keep up with it.

[01:21:26]>> Doesn't sound good to me. Oh man, this is such a good [ __ ] riff.

[01:21:43]This is the only thing Ryan can cling to in this song. I think we do without you know just where we come from.

[01:22:05]There you go. Co.

[01:22:13]This solo's crazy.

[01:22:16]Brian's hearing too much of the drums.

[01:22:19]Yep. I I know.

[01:22:24]Yep.

[01:22:27]I can hear it, but I don't mind it.

[01:22:31]You get it, Joe.

[01:22:32]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[01:22:34]Yeah.

[01:22:38]I like it. Yeah. Yeah. It's good.

[01:22:42]This is good.

[01:22:45]That was good.

[01:22:48]Oh my god.

[01:22:56]Wow.

[01:22:58]Yeah. Like I would like that a lot more without the very fast drums. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:23:02]And they just don't stop in this song.

[01:23:09]>> Oh my god.

[01:23:13]>> Imagine playing this Ryan and singing.

[01:23:16]>> Huh? Imagine playing this and singing.

[01:23:18]Come on, bro. Playing this. What?

[01:23:20]Playing this and singing it. Oh, yeah.

[01:23:22]No, I don't know how he's doing that.

[01:23:29]I will follow incorporated.

[01:23:45]>> Yeah, just >> even they even they did a good job of ending that. Bro, here's the thing. It took a little bit to get there, not going to lie. First half I was eh and then last half that song I thought was great. Yeah, first I was like >> that one's tough one to get into on one listen. I think it is blitzing fast.

[01:24:00]>> I like I like the fast. I love this the fast stuff by them, bro.

[01:24:04]>> I knew that was too fast for Ryan, but Ryan, you got to admit that didn't sound like five and a half minutes. Or maybe it did to you.

[01:24:10]>> No. I mean, no.

[01:24:12]>> Felt way like as opposed to like five and a half modern metal songs. No. None of these songs felt as long as it would have if I was listening to modern metal.

[01:24:21]That's for sure. And that definitely is a testament to music structure and and composition and things like that.

[01:24:27]>> Yeah.

[01:24:28]>> Like these these guys even something I say um when we listen to modern metal is whenever I hear good transitioning that is such an underrated um tool that you need to have in your bag I think as a band. Um >> definitely it matters a lot.

[01:24:43]>> It does. Especially when you're hearing an album because and Ryan says this all the time like it's really hard to listen to a whole album from one band if you already don't like how particularly how they play music.

[01:24:54]>> Yeah.

[01:24:54]>> So something small like transitioning helps you so much >> when you're listening to a bunch of somebody's songs >> like that shapes how you're going to introduce the next section to somebody >> for it to make sense.

[01:25:09]>> And for it to make sense. Yeah. Like even if sections are good and it just drops into another section, you're like it just doesn't make sense and then your brain just doesn't >> unless like the riff is just so good you can't even like really Yeah. And you're like, "All right." But other than that, it's like that [ __ ] does matter.

[01:25:22]>> Well, Ryan, what did you think overall?

[01:25:24]Like I I know it's not going to be your taste no matter what, but is that about what you thought it would be?

[01:25:31]>> That's about what I thought it would be.

[01:25:33]I I I went in not thinking I was going to really love any song. That doesn't mean I was already like I already had my mind made up going in because I listen to every second very intently of every song like 100%.

[01:25:47]>> Yeah.

[01:25:48]>> Like I was try like >> I don't want myself to not like music. I try so hard to like music. It's not like I don't give music a chance. I really do give a lot of different music a chance.

[01:25:58]I I wish I I liked all kinds of music more than I do. But there's just nothing there's nothing that I can do. Like I don't try.

[01:26:06]>> It's just cuz you didn't grow up with it too. if we got if we got you on this early.

[01:26:10]>> The thing is though is like >> I heard some Metallica when I was younger. Like I used to listen to one all the time when I was younger. Yeah.

[01:26:19]>> And maybe that's why I like that the most. But it's still not like >> like I still don't really like that song that much. Like I would never listen to one by myself.

[01:26:28]>> Yeah. That's crazy to me.

[01:26:29]>> I got I did get exposed to more than you probably think. some >> not not like not like a lot but like you know >> you just didn't listen to music enough though like you have to listen to music a lot to I think like Metallica like you have to be a a music listener you know what I mean and when I say that I mean like outside of you know in the car and going to the gym you know like this is a band like I'll sit down and listen to >> you know and and it's a lost art that we >> we as people just don't do as much anymore I know some people still Uh, but it that's not what music is about anymore. It's like how long can you keep my attention >> and if I don't like it on one listen, I'm done, you know, cuz people aren't buying CDs and vinyls and stuff where that's all you had and okay, I'm going to listen to this all the way through and then find the parts and then appreciate them and now that I hear them a bunch of times, I like it more, you know, like that's not a thing.

[01:27:22]>> No, you're right.

[01:27:22]>> So, for you to not completely tune this out though, I think is a win.

[01:27:26]>> And you liked the Leper Messiah song. I knew that was going to be your favorite.

[01:27:30]>> Great actually, bro.

[01:27:31]>> Yeah.

[01:27:32]Six.

[01:27:33]>> It's a good album.

[01:27:35]>> Six and three and two. Obviously, I think are the three best songs.

[01:27:41]>> The thing that should not be Oh my god, it makes me sick.

[01:27:44]>> Yeah, >> those three were those three are my favorite.

[01:27:48]>> I get it. My top three would be Master of Puppets, uh, Disposable Heroes, and I think Welcome Home Sanitarium or Leper Messiah.

[01:28:01]Andrew, I'm curious which of the new ones you liked the most.

[01:28:04]>> I really like Disposable Heroes. I really like the leopard Messiah. I like that song a lot.

[01:28:10]>> That's awesome.

[01:28:11]>> Um Orion I thought was great. Obviously Master of Puppets and Battery. I thought this was a great album.

[01:28:16]>> Yeah.

[01:28:17]>> This is a great album.

[01:28:18]>> Yeah. Like this is But like Ryan, do you see how like I could I could listen to this all the way through.

[01:28:24]>> Yeah. Yeah. Like it's >> I never have a problem with objectively seeing how good music is. Like I can definitely appreciate it and understand why other people like it.

[01:28:32]>> Yeah.

[01:28:33]>> That's just like >> whenever like I'm talking music with someone, like I always feel like >> not left out cuz everyone loves music, but like it's weird cuz I'm on a music channel here and like I I'm not a huge music person. I'm really just not like I love >> I love modern heavy metal because of the way I feel from it. Like I listen to it when I'm at when I'm at the gym and like I just like feel like there's no better music to hear than like that kind of that that style of music at the gym.

[01:29:04]>> So like that's why I love that so much.

[01:29:06]But I just don't casually listen to music. Like if I'm on a long car ride or something, I'll probably just throw on YouTube or like put on a podcast. Like I'm not a huge music listener.

[01:29:16]>> Oh my god. Really? You're not going to listen to music?

[01:29:17]>> Well, and see, but >> Well, I do more now because I I fell in love with like heavy metal. So, like I do listen to it a lot more, but before that, dude, never.

[01:29:26]>> I think I think Ryan just hit the nail on the head that that I never thought about. And that's back then we didn't have, you know, podcasts and and like YouTube at our fingertips.

[01:29:38]>> Yeah, >> we just had music.

[01:29:40]>> That was cooking.

[01:29:43]>> That's That is >> That's another thing. There was nothing else. Like I had my iPod shuffle that had no [ __ ] screen on it >> and I just had to keep shuffling through the songs. I couldn't even see what was next.

[01:29:53]>> Yeah.

[01:29:53]>> You know, or like >> that honestly makes so much more sense.

[01:29:56]It does >> cuz music is a big part of like it's just like what what memories do you have >> from that song too? That is so big cuz like you can go back you can go back and listen to some songs that you used to listen to back in the day and it's complete [ __ ] but you [ __ ] love it.

[01:30:11]Hanger 18 ping pong.

[01:30:14]>> Like you know it's [ __ ] but you're like dude but this song rips and it's only because you and your five friends got super high that night and you guys all accidentally put it on and you guys all loved it cuz you were high but it makes you like it like when like what they were saying that was all they had was [ __ ] music, >> right? And and you yourself know it's not even that good cuz you're like I won't even show anyone else this song. I this is just for me. Yeah.

[01:30:35]>> I dare not show anybody.

[01:30:37]>> Yeah. And I'm not saying that that's what Metallica is. I'm just saying just in general with music like it has a huge nostalgia factor and like >> it does. It does >> like the the time period in your life like I'm going to love every video game I played from when I was five to 14 years old because those years were just amazing. The feeling you had when you did anything at that age was just amazing.

[01:30:58]>> Like you have those memories along with it and it's just like >> it just makes everything so much better.

[01:31:04]I'm not saying you can't like this [ __ ] if you don't have those, but it just makes it way easier. Way easier.

[01:31:09]>> It's why more people could get into stuff.

[01:31:12]>> Yeah.

[01:31:12]>> There are so many distractions now.

[01:31:14]There are so many different forms of entertainment at your fingertips. It's so easy to skip through. You were forced to listen to all this. I bought this album with my money.

[01:31:24]>> I'm going to listen to it. It's all I got.

[01:31:26]>> There's so many things I could just wake up and do now. There's so many things I can do.

[01:31:30]>> Yeah.

[01:31:31]>> You know what I mean?

[01:31:32]>> No. Yes. Like I'm I'm glad that there was some songs on here though that you could at least take away and be like, "All right, yeah, like I can I can see.

[01:31:39]I can see. It's all I could ask for." Uh >> a great album, bro.

[01:31:43]>> Thank you guys for sticking with us for an hour and a half. I'm glad I got to show Andrew the rest of this album because now maybe he can listen to some on his own.

[01:31:50]>> Uh and now now you guys can say that Ryan isn't at least a tiny bit cultured.

[01:31:55]>> True.

[01:31:57]>> That part's true.

[01:31:57]>> I'm curious what everybody else's favorite song is on this album. So, uh, let us know below and, uh, we can we can argue about why, uh, you think Damage Incorporated is somehow the best song on this album. It's not.

[01:32:10]Bye-bye.
