In this episode of The Daily Doug, classical composer Doug Helvering reacts to the instrumental track "Orion" by Metallica from their 1986 album, Master of Puppets (1:05). The reaction was prompted by a highly-liked comment on a previous video (0:48).
Highlights of the reaction include:
* Musical Analysis: Doug analyzes the structure, noting the fade-in of the instruments (2:03), the chord progressions in the intro (2:30), and the transition into a 6/8 compound meter (6:20).
* Praise for Cliff Burton: Doug highlights the leadership and technical skill of late bassist Cliff Burton, noting his melodic and intricate bass lines throughout the track, particularly in the middle section (1:30, 7:15).
* Production Quality: He compliments the production, specifically mentioning that the drums and bass sound much more alive and balanced compared to a previous Metallica song he reviewed (8:49).
* Critique of Fade Outs: Doug expresses a preference for definitive endings rather than the fade-out used on this track, noting that live performances require concrete endings (10:55).
Doug concludes by calling the song "lovely" (10:34) and praising Burton's lasting impact on music (12:40).

On Feb. 25, 2017, Loudwire released this three-part documentary marking the 25th anniversary of Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power. Now you can watch the documentary in full where Pantera tell the story in their own words.
As part of our Loudwire Legacy series, we examined the album that many credit for saving heavy metal during a transitional time for the genre. The documentary features interviews with all three (at the time) surviving members of Pantera (Philip Anselmo, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown), the album's producer, Terry Date, and the album's cover art photographer Brad Guice.
Also featured are metal luminaries Mike Portnoy, Slayer's Kerry King, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson, Korn's Brian 'Head' Welch, Black Label Society's Zakk Wylde and several others, all professing their admiration of Vulgar Display of Power and the impact it had on heavy metal.
The documentary is divided into three parts: 'The Making Of,' 'The Impact' and 'The Secret Story,' with the last one debunking a long-running urban legend about the iconic image on the album's cover.
This documentary on the untold story of 'Vulgar Display of Power' was filmed before Vinnie Paul died in June of 2018. Rest In Peace to the Abbott brothers.
