Yes, Master Of Puppets is a masterpiece! And, as always, Metallica delivers an incredibly powerful message through a well formed and well presented work of art.

Here's the YouTube post for those who cannot (yet) open this one:

Really hoping the Apocalyptica cover is the second half of this weekend.

Lynn Poole

Vlad will you let us know when the access issues are fixed? I don't want to keep trying and add to my frustrations. Thanks.

Sean Shannon

The video won't load in a web browser, but it does load in the Patreon app for me.

Vlad, I don't think your Patreon/Vimeo issues are happening to other Creators, so it appears to be specific to you. I just checked Doug Helvering's Patreon and he is still successfully posting Vimeo videos, his most recent one within the last hour. If it was affecting all Patreon Creators it would have been fixed by now, and I wouldn't rely on them getting back to you. I would try to figure out what is happening on your end. Have you recently changed anything in the process of uploading and making these available to the relevant Patreon tiers?

Lynn Poole

Today I have received join Vimeo emails to both my email addresses. It is to create content, videos, etc.

Sean Shannon

Vlad, if Doug isn't having the same problems, could you try reaching out to him and asking what he's doing to get his Vimeo videos up here? You might get a response more quickly from Doug than from Patreon.

I'm sure he does the same thing that he has been doing all those years. And that's what I'm doing too; I never changed a thing. If it was something from my end, none of the patrons would be able to watch. But some can and some cannot, although they're all on the same tier. I cannot control anything at the personal level, but only at the tier level.

Lee Kennison

Vlad, you may think you haven't changed anything, but you may have done so subconsciously or inadvertency without realizing this. You should create a separate "Test" post to work through these issues, retrying with different solution attempts until you get it figured out. I would start with the lowest level of Patreon tiers to minimize the permissions issues. In addition, be sure to read my much more detailed Direct Message of ideas and suggestions. You can't keep relying on Patreon to reply, you need to figure this out on your own. If you don't do this you risk starting to lose Patreon members, which are a significant part of your income. I would stop doing everything else until you get this figured out. In the meantime, there is a YT solution in my Direct Messages.

I know that you guys are trying. Seems that these guys are like the SSA, yes, Social Security. Working at Treasury, as a programmer, I had to deal with them a few times. Terrible programming staff.

This was a wonderful first listen and reaction! I wanted to point out a few things that Amy absolutely picked up on, but might not have recognized the instrument being used. For example, Amy mentioned the slower middle section as almost sounding like a string quartet, which was a great observation. The parts that sounded like strings was actually Cliff Burton on the bass. Cliff was a master of using modulation and overdrive/distortion to create unique tonal qualities to expand the spectrum of what the bass normally does in Rock and Metal. There are a lot of examples of Cliff composing parts that can easily throw off the casual listener. The beginning of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” (inspired by the book by Ernest Hemingway of the same name) starts with a wild melody line that almost sounds like a Hammond organ played through a Marshall amplifier’s overdrive channel, but it’s actually Cliff on bass. He only recorded three albums with Metallica before his untimely death in a tour bus accident in 1986, but he’s still fondly remembered today as one of the most influential bass players of the last 50 years. The first melodic guitar solo/interlude is credited to James Hetfield. He is Metallica’s main composer, lyricist, and rhythm guitarist, but he’s done a few solos over the course of their career. The faster, wilder, more virtuosic guitar solo is by Kirk Hammett. Speaking of the lyrics, James Hetfield is considered one of the premier lyricists in all of Heavy Metal. I was so happy to hear Amy’s take and analysis of the lyrics because I have always considered them to be a positive influence in warning young people away from drug use. Most of Metallica’s lyrics are intelligently thought out, which was always part of the appeal for me. I was thrilled to see the notification of this first listen when I got home from work. I couldn’t hit play fast enough. And, I agree with Vlad… everything is beautiful when it comes to Metallica. Well, maybe not everything, but I definitely agree with the sentiment. 👍🏼

I am glad you enjoyed it, Julian! Were you able to watch it on Patreon or YouTube? Thank you!

Julian Ortiz

For those having trouble accessing the video from a desktop computer or laptop, this could be a web browser security update that’s preventing the videos from loading. Chrome’s security updates are notorious for redirect errors and access denied warnings. Maybe try accessing Patreon using a different browser liked Edge, Opera, or Safari if you’re on a Mac. Here on the Patreon app for iPad Safari is the native/default browser plug-in for the Vimeo links so I suspect that’s why they play on the app, but the issues are mostly on desktops etc.

Julian Ortiz

I’m pretty sure Daily Doug posts his videos to YouTube only, but I could be wrong because I don’t pay for a subscription to his Patreon channel. I only see his YouTube videos. The redirects might be affecting only Vimeo videos. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Virgin Rock

I wrote to Doug, but I didn't hear back from him yet. I am sure he will tell me how does it look on his page when he'll find my email.

Stefan Martelius

Video starts fine. Using the Patreon app on my phone

Lynn Poole

Work fine for me. Email to Patreon to Safari on ipad. Email to Patreon to Google on iphone.

Steve

Hard to underestimate how impactful this album was, even though it wasn’t really widely known at the time. It took 80’s MTV hair metal and smashed it with a sledgehammer.

rock and roll doesn't promote drug use, social injustice does 😉
