Uhh…Cliff was on the first three albums!

Look at Lilly with her perfect explanation answer to why she's playing the live versions lol. You're very smart unlike other people's channels.

I appreciate your doing the live versions with Cliff.

'Phantom Lord' was written by Dave Mustaine w/ James Hetfield writing the lyrics... this final version was slightly extended from the 1982 demo w/ Dave (and Ron McGovney on bass)... James said that he was trying to write lyrics like Judas Priest (Hence, the stuff on "Kill 'em all" was similar to Priest's style lyrics on "Metal gods"... 'Steeler'... or 'Solar Angels'...) The controversy was that Dave Mustaine recently claimed that the material on "Kill 'em all" was primarily written by him and James Hetfield... Lars Ulrich was given partial credit for arrangements... but Dave insisted that Lars in that first year was not a proficient musician and did not contribute much; he theorized that James gave him credit as his partner in Metallica. Scott Ian (guitar) of Anthrax recalled in 1986 that both James and Cliff Burton were considering firing Lars from the band - this was after 'Master of Puppets' was released, and the 2 had an idea of where they wanted to go musically and wanted someone like Dave Lombardo (drummer of Slayer) w/ some better musical skills. Of course, Cliff Burton's death in the fall of 1986 ended those plans... Lars took over the band after, cos neither James nor Kirk Hammett were in any shape (from alcohol and the trauma) to handle the growing business side of Metallica. It was Lars who arranged the auditions for a new bass player and his friend Brian Slagel (head of Metal Blade Records) who helped get Jason Newsted the audition & job in Metallica (Newsted's band Flotsam & Jetsam was on Metal Blade Records) so that the band could go back on tour.

Great song The whole album is perfect still have the cassette to it.4 horseman been fan since 84

Great reaction. Definitely a unique performance and time, love it!

The first song that got me was Enter Sandman from the Black album. I wasn't into metal at the time, but that quickly changed and I own all of their albums now. Don't sleep on their "Garage" albums as some of there greatest stuff is on them.

I saw them on their Ride the Lightning tour. It was a small venue with only about 200-300 people. During the opening acts Armored Saint and WASP, they were just walking around talking to everyone. Its a shame their music changed into sing alongs like Enter Sandman and Whiskey in the Jar. They were so good at thrash metal.

In my opinion the words on this album are the most important of all their albums. Whiplash "We'll never stop, we'll never quit! Because we're Metallica!" And they have held to their word

It's nice seeing you doing these early Metallica songs Live, Lilly. Another banger off their first album. The song was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Dave Mustaine. It is named after one of James Hetfield's older bands before the formation of Metallica.

Yeah basically what happened was Metallica (with Dave Mustaine) drove across the country from San Francisco to New York City to record their debut album. Tensions were already high between Dave and the rest of the band due to Dave's erratic behavior when he drank. The band were all heavy drinkers, but Dave was a mean drunk. One time Dave and James got into a fist fight, another time Dave poured beer on former bassist Ron McGovney's bass, wrecking his instrument. The straw that broke the camel's back was while Dave was driving at night, he nodded off and nearly crashed their van. As soon as Metallica got to New York, James and Lars give Dave a greyhound ticket and they kick him out of the band. Dave tells the band "Not to use his shit" and they do it anyways. Jamesre-writes the Mechanix and it becomes The Four Horsemen and he also re-wrote the lyrics to Jump in the Fire, the original version was about having sex with a girl (kind of like The Mechanix lol). For the Phantom Lord, Dave used some of the riffs that he wrote for the Megadeth song "This Was My Life" If you're interested, there's some footage and recordings out there from when Dave was in the band. There's a concert from March 19th, 1983 on youtube that has Dave in the band. it's the earliest known footage of Metallica performing live. there's also the No Life til Leather demo, which is early versions of 7 songs from Kill Em All, including Metallica's version of The Mechanix

We was a group of young teenage boys, my room was often where we meet up, listing to music, and gaming c64/Amiga500.. yes those days..lol, i think the boys got And justice for all album one day, and the song that really hooked me was ONE, imagine 8 young teen boys headbanging to the breakdown, and going nuts, so all parrents in the neighbourhood started wondering, if the kids are allright..lol

I saw them in early 1980 in Amsterdam that was great....

I was waiting for you to react to this song. My favorite on the album

I hear "Ace of Spades." They could easily throw that in.

For me it was For Whom the Bell Tolls and Call of Ktulu that hooked me on Metallica and metal in general.

As a kid that just moved from small town WI to Big city CA, I was kind of a loner that first year. Hung out in the geek places.. ya know the library. There I found this Vinyl of Master of Puppets. 7th grade, Battery changed my F%$ing life.

The reason why there was controversy was because Dave wrote Phantom Lord. He practically wrote the whole album he wrote some for ride the lightning as well possibly one for Master of Puppets according to Dave

Cliff was with them for Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, too. He died while they were touring MoP.

the hook song for me was "am I evil" the last track on kill em all. a kid in my grade went to the mall with his friends and made a music video (there were mall stores that were set up as studios where you could make a music video covering your favorite band.) They made a music video of "am I evil" & played it in school. So i listened to kill em all based on that track & that was it.

It's been years since I've heard or listened to much of the early stuff, especially this far back

You shall check out Cliff solo bass is amazing.

Great reaction :) Yes, it's always good to see all videos available from each year. I know that's why I did, as soon as youtube came to be, and the process was made easy :) The first Metallica song I listened to was Master of Puppets. I then listened to the entire album, 10 times in a row. And from there, everything up to 2000.

I hope some day you do another reactions to their peak in 1989

Yes Dave was in the band just over a year before they recorded their first album.

Yea the middle part is so surprising. Kinda tells that they had ambitions.

Thrashing and having a good time,,,,Absolutely.🤘🤪🤘

Cliff Burton was on the first 3 albums.

For me personally, this early era was their best. Except maybe because I live in New Zealand and my age at the time I wasn't aware of Dave Mustaines influence. if I had a one-time time travel ticket I would take the opportunity to go back and see Dave, Cliff, Lars, and James play together as kids ( I'm in my 50s now so anyone under 30 is a kid to me ) There is footage of Dave playing in Metallica. Check it out!

For me it was One from the And Justice For All... album

😘

So nice to see new people getting into Metal and enjoy it. Lilly Jane please give a try to other popular Rock and Metal bands like Judas Priest, Testament, Anthrax, Exodus, Saxon, Ronnie James Dio, Scorpions, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Rush, Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, The Smashing Pumpkins, L7, Temple Of The Dog, Audioslave, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Velvet Revolver, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Korn, Slipknot, Kittie, The Killers, Interpol, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

🤘KINGS🤘

I wish you would react to the album Bonded By Blood by Exodus, the band Kirk Hammett was in before he got hired to be lead in Metallica.... that's what album I used to wear the hell out of.....

I first got introduced to Metallica as a young young kid. I was only five years old when I first heard them and the very first song that I ever heard by them was sad but true off of the Black album. And honestly that song with my very first introduction to heavy-metal in general. but then by the time I became a teenager in high school I became balls deep into Metallica when I hit my junior year. That’s all I listened to for the whole year.

I just love seeing what they had started as and where they are at now. Who would have thought they would be the biggest band in the world other than themselves at this gig! Never stop never quit because were Metallica!!

One of the top songs from this album...although you'd be hard pressed to find a bad one on it. Can't wait for you to react to No Remorse, and their covers of Am I Evil? and Blitzkreig...so amazing. The Metallica song that hooked me was actually Blackened -- I discovered them late in the 80s, then went backwards through their discography, to discover my favorite 2 albums, Kill Em All and Ride The Lightning.

You gotta check Phantom lord live with Mustaine at their anniversary show !

Hey Lilly Jane! Are you gonna react to the covers that Metallica did in the ‘80’s before moving to the ‘Metallica’ (Black) album or wait until ‘Garage Inc.’ where they’re in one collection along with their ’90’s covers?

The album that did it for me was master of puppets. I remember being a young kid who couldn't sleep so my mom gave me my dad's walkman (cassette version) that had the master of puppets album in there. Game changer for me. Also i used to get rocked to sleep to Metallica albums as a baby. (which sounds insane if you think about their music 😂)

Hi Lilly, just subscribed. Digging your channel. Not sure if you've heard The Real Thing by Faith No More,but I think that would be a great song for you to react to. One of my favourites. I'm sure your other listeners would agree 😊

Nice one. The song I first heard was Seek and Destroy. And I'm still as into Metallica as I was back then. 🔥🤘

you can hear dave was in this song in the stin the babd writing

My fav song from metallica is the four horsemen you should react to their live version it this same gig in 1983

joints up!!! ;)

If you are going to be watching the live versions of these Kill 'em All songs, I would highly recommend, on your own, also watching the same song played live the most recent you can find. I think you'll really enjoy seeing the differences and similarities and how they've grown. And you'll see how good Rob is on the bass and how he's a worthy successor to Cliff. 🤘

Burton is on the first 3 albums and his song is on the 4th.

Cliff Burton played on Kill em all and had at least one song writing credit. As for the Megadeth and Metallica thing, it's just Dave was pissed he was kicked out of Metallica and that's how everything started. Both bands are now cool with each other.

The 1st song that got me hooked on Metallica was "harvester of sorrow"

There are some a bit older with Dave Mustain on lead guitar. Their Badass as well.

Have to do more live performances with Cliff from Ride the Lightning and Master of puppets!

For Whom The Bell Tolls was the song that got it all started for me.

Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) was the original guitarist for Metallica, they split ways before recording the first album. Mustaine didn't want Metallica to use the songs he wrote on the album, they did. it became a feud. Metallica had to give Dave writing credits on those songs.

Another advantage to watching these live videos is that you get to hear how much Hetfield’s voice has improved.

The first Metallica-song I heard was "Fight Fire With Fire", somewhere in autumn 1984. I think it was on the "Monday Rock Show" on BFBS and it was like a musical revelation to me. Got the album for Christmas and listened to it on a nearly daily basis for more than a year. The album "Ride the Lightning" might be the reason why Thrash Metal became my favourite subgenre. Bought "Kill 'em All" a few weeks later and liked it, but it doesn't come close to RTL. When MOP came out, I also liked it, but never as much as RTL. Their last album I bought was AJFA, on which the non-audible bass was a mega-disappointment. People who have heard Jason's bass-playing/-sound on Flotsam and Jetsam's debut "Doomsday For the Deceiver" might understand what I mean. I was also not too fond of the drum-sound and the somewhat "dry" sound in general. In addition to this, I found most of the songs less enjoyable than on their previous album, "One" being the exception to the rule. There are at least 10 Thrash Metal albums released in 1988 which I like better than AJFA. The only Metallica-album I still listen to nowadays is "Ride the Lightning", which to me is still one of the best metal albums ever.

Thankfully, we have some footage of Metallica in their early days and can experience how incredible the band was live in their early years w/ late bassist Cliff Burton... They don't perform like that any more (sad to say)... Metallica had better finances and support to film some of their concerts in clubs and in Europe (w/ the help of then-label Music For Nations). Unfortunately, we have little footage of Megadeth in their early days... they had fewer resources at the time... One 1984 show was filmed w/ Slayer's Kerry King on guitar... Their original drummer Gar Samuelson was a talent, but he was fired in 1987 and passed away in 1999... Chris Poland (guitar) was only w/ them for a couple of years (One concert filmed in 1986). The best early Megadeth footage was from 1988, filmed in Essen, W. Germany... w/ David Ellefson (bass), Jeff Young (guitar) and Chuck Behler (drums) - which lasted only 1 album cycle... Dave Mustaine was truly talented, despite his drug abuse... Slayer's Kerry King recalled seeing Mustaine play as a teen and was awed at how Dave was playing leads and not even looking at his fingers (he was glaring at the audience 😠)

Lilly, not sure you know, but Kill' em All is a studio album not a live album lol And Cliff is on the studio album too.

The first Metallica song I heard was Enter Sandman. I was about 11 or 12 and the first two songs on Black (Sandman and Sad But True) got me hooked into the rest of their music, and then Metal as a whole. Before that I think I mostly listened to Aerosmith, early Offspring, and classic Rock like Elvis. I love their first four albums, absolutely amazing music. But I consider Black/Loads/GInc/S&M Metallica as peak Metallica.

No remorse live 1985!!!!!!!!

I Recommend react to the studio version of "whiplash" and "phantom lord" and the rest of the album, this album is killer in the studio and live!

WATCH LIVE OAKLAND 1985 RIDE THE LIGHTNING

My oldest son can play metallica well he has some KZfaq videos his site his first and middle name AdelKnox

Allota times live is more fun. They get to do it the way they want and you get to see em Rock Out. Look at the youth here. Like 19 and 20.

Seeing that you're doing live versions of the KEA Songs, you may want to check out the Metalhammer Fest of 1985 for the next Kill 'Em All track which is No Remorse. It's still Metallica with Cliff, but you can see how much they changed in two years: Metallica: No Remorse (St. Goarshausen, Germany - September 14, 1985) / Metallica kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdGeh6yrv5eUaJs.html

no cell phones in that crowd.

If you want more Cliff, listen to ORION off Master of Puppets

Idk if your into Hendrix, but here's an amazing live version of Killing Floor at Monterey: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdOTn7CBsZrJgas.html No video, only the audio. It's the first song in Jimi's debut US performance, after coming back from the UK with his then-newly formed band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Did you say ‘Dave Mustang’? The emphasis is on the second syllable of ‘Mustaine’.

Jinjer & Metallica on same stage!!

Suspect hotspot and plugged in reaction pls

There's got to be a good video on why they kicked Dave Mustaine out of the band. Some incredible drama, his background story and all. There should be a movie about it.

I'm tellin ya Lillie,,, Metallica Metal Hammer festival 1985, or, check out Cliff 'Em All, a video released by Metallica in 1987, as a tribute to Cliff Burton RIP

AM I evil was the one...

And yeah honestly studio versions are better than most live versions like Anesthesia, in my opinion the studio version sounds better than the live version.

one more like for 420.

Dave Mustaine didn't steal this track, he wrote it when he was in Metallica. Unlike Metallica, when Kirk left Exodus for Metallica Exodus didn't use any of his material on their releases outside of "The Impaler" which they didn't use until 2004 for a tribute to Paul Baloff after he died.

Reiter...Dave's shit on the solo

Chek the story of mettalica documentaries gonna understand what happend

You’re are thinking four horsemen and mechanix same song different lyrics this is a. Dave riff and solo

How did Mustaine "steal from Metallica" when this was one of the songs he was involved in writing? It's literally his material. Honestly, if Metallica wanted to be completely done with Dave, then they should have purged ALL songs and material he was involved in writing and ONLY used their own exclusive original ideas and music after Kirk joined the band. The controversy about "who wrote what/who owns what" during this era is getting absurd.

Another Dave Mustaine classic.

Ok, Metallica had just singed to Megaforce….and pretty much Road tripped to New York to record their debut album…this might get a little long…but is the reality of the situation. They arrived in NY and realized they couldn’t continue with Dave. We know what happened next and they were in contract to record an album. They didn’t have time to rewrite an album, but did rewrite at least some of it. Dave didn’t steal anything…the song Mechanix that ended up on Megadeths Debut “killing is my Business…and Business is Good” was the exact version he fully wrote that was on Metallicas early KEA demos…nothing ripped off. Nobody should hold anything against Metallica, they had no choice at the time. They were living literally in their practice space, and Mustaine had every right to use the Machanix

Good job. Old Metallica kicks ass! Long live Cliff Burton. Also you're very beautiful.👍😼

Please react to Metallica and Lemmy live Nashville 2019,🥷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

Well lyrically(and musically) the band was less mature, remember that when Kill Em All came out half of these guys were not even 20 years old, and lyrics were even worse if we can put it in a way, during the few months Dave was in the band, as most of what he wrote was about girlfriends. James re-wrote some of the lyrics after Dave was no longer with them. And speaking about Dave, there is always controversy surrounding him, every band member in Megadeth has left or been fired because of arguments with him, and there are always his groupies commenting about how bad Metallica is and that the few good things were all written by Dave... truth is half of Kill Em All is a collaboration between the 4 guys.

Metallica, Dave mastaine live, xXx 30 years you'll find it

You're 100% right, kill em all lyrics were not that deep as other albums.

When Dave got kicked, they did NOT credit him for his songs . He wrote 4 . It was only like 15 years ago That he got his credits from Metallica. Ps credit = $$$ > Dave lost a lot

The hook band for me was not Metallica, it was Queensryche that made me turning to a metalhead from a real metal-hater. And the album was of course 'Operation: Mindcrime' - the album that made the band deserve the 'Pink Floyd of heavy metal' title.

A thrash version of ted nugent

listen to 2 pac ghetto gospel feat. elton john

Well what can one say about Lilly Janes reactions, very raw thats for sure , keep up the good reviews and keep banging that lovely head of yours, is it blonde , black or both either way its nice.

Just wait until you hear "No Remorse"! The lyrics of this album are all true, no matter how horrible and Metallica was the only band that had the guts to scream it in your face!!!!! But don't take me wrong, I love your channel and you should really try Limp Bizkit! People either love them or hate them! Haters try to stick them in the "new rock" category, but they are comparable to no one! It's how I get my aggression out😂

The first Metallica song I ever heard was 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. "Ride the Lightning", "Kill 'em All" and "Master of Puppets" were the best albums the band ever produced, and it was when they were young. There are a few gems after that, but the band got too commercial and they really lost their way. Do they have umpteen million views every month? Yes. Is that really a barometer of how good all their other music is? Absolutely not.

Damn you are so beautiful 😍

I like lyric videos! So here goe-"Bang your head against the stage like you never did before...make it ring, make it bleed, make it really sore." er...yeah, OK, let's use a live video.

James, Lars, Cliff and Kirk made Dave's songs so much better. Dave for one absolutely has a horrible sounding voice. James on the other hand can freakin sing man.

Kirk Hammet was a better fit for Metallica, Kirk was humble. Mustaine wanted to be the KING and got kicked out, Mostly because he was a drunk and an A hole. so he has spent the rest of his life trashing Metallica mostly Lars but also kirk. Mustaine also did heroin, I was in a 12 step program with Dave in 2002. in Phoenix Az.

Why not do live version one day and album/ lyric version next?
