I told you guys I was going to start going through all of their albums. I can't believe that I didn't listen to Ride The Lightning whilst listening to Master Of Puppets. I feel like this whole album is going to be just as good as MOP, maybe even better. If you guys have any other suggestions on what to react to from Ride The Lightning then please throw them in the comments section. I'll definitely get to them!

54 year old me sitting here smiling knowing what’s coming for you and waiting for the look on your face while I try to relive my first time hearing these old Metallica songs. It makes me so proud that these are still just as good today as they were way back then. You must see them live! They are so good live. They may not run around the stage quit as much as they used to but they are still amazing live.

They were younger. Likely 21 years old at the time. This song gives a good description of what it would be like sitting in the electric chair. Cliff died during Master of puppets tour / their next album. Trapped under ice is a great song which also describes very well what it must be like to fall through ice and not able to get out.

Ride the Lightning was their second Studio Album, they still sounded a little like Kill 'Em All, meaning a younger sounding voice, and Master of Puppets was after this album and the first album that they sounded much more musically and vocally mature. So, technically you're listening to them "Grow Up" as the albums get released.

Not even close! The first heavy metal acts are considered to be Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, often referred to as the “unholy trinity”. Led Zeppelin released their self-titled debut in 1969, while Black Sabbath and Deep Purple put out influential records in 1970. Metal began to branch out into sub-genres, with glam and hair metal acts like Motley Crue and Poison spearheading the movement. Thrash metal became huge, with bands such as Metallica and Megadeth reaching ever larger audiences, thanks in part to metal acts being played on MTV, which started airing in 1981. Metallica owes it all to the iconic early metal innovators!

Your reactions are so good, you really get it, I can tell. I’m a Metallica fan since 1993 (age 13). When I discovered that stuff my head was exploiting, it was the first metal band I got really into as well since up to that point I was mostly into classic rock. I remember telling to myself “wow metal kicks ass” and yes it does but I didn’t realised that was not just some “good metal”. That stuff is beyond legendary. I literally can’t find the words to describe my emotions. 30 years passed and every time I hear these albums my heart breaks, every fucking time. How could I know that at the age of 13 I was listening stuff that will be considered as classical music in some years. Seeing you listening to that stuff for the first time and especially when I see you get it right away is priceless. Today I’m a musician myself and I listen to a lot of music from Jazz to Trip Hop to Electro to Black Metal to whatever the fuck else lol but the first 4 Metallica records are literally untouchable by anything or anyone. Fun fact: Although Master of Puppets is my favourite Metallica album as a whole, Fight Fire With Fire and Ride the Lightning are my fav Metallica songs! They’re just sick as fuck!

This song and album was my introduction to Metallica in 1985, I was already into Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio, etc. but I had never heard anything this heavy, it blew me away. This solo is one of Kirk's best if not the best IMO. I remember hearing it back then and feeling like it really conveyed the sorrow of someone about to die, and the riff that kicks in before the solo starts is epic, really cool to see you catch that riff/solo and rewind.

Cliff was with the band on their first three records...he died in 1986 at the age of 24 (they were on the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets). I think I answered all of your questions. This is my favourite Metallica record. One of my favourite albums of all time. You mentioned liking Lars; I wholeheartedly agree with you. I've heard a number of reactors say good things about him. Lars does have a lot of detractors, though. It's been fashionable to bash Lars for quite a long time, now. I'm seeing more people take up for him these days. I think there are more and more fans that are getting fed up with all the critics. I'm definitely one of them. I'm not exactly sure what started all of that for certain, but from what I gather it has more to do with Lars's personality than his drumming skills...that, and the whole Napster deal. You might not know about that whole thing, but you can read about it online.

You really need to finish this album. It does not disappoint. I bought this one new. Still jamming out to it.

Oh... And Ride the Lightning song is one of my favorites, great guitar solo with the double kick and bass just kicks ass!!!

@AZColt1971 6 ай бұрын

One of my favorite songs from them. The solo is dynamic and I never tire of it. Fits the song so well. Glad you enjoyed it. Of course, this is one of the all-time greatest metal albums so you would expect that. BTW, don't be too disappointed with the song "Escape", the band didn't really want to put it on the album but the record label made them do it to appear more "radio friendly". Keep in mind, this was before their video days. And if you really want to freak out, watch some KZfaq covers by excellent musicians play the guitar parts. Just type in the name of the song and "cover" after it. Shows how difficult it really is and gives you some real appreciation. Good luck and enjoy your journey! Cheers!

This was my first Metallica album, and this was my favorite song for a long time, but I can't wait for your reaction to Call of Ktulu.

The 1-2 punch of 'Fight Fire With Fire' with this straight after...it's just brain-melting to this day. This is the album that got me into Metallica and thrash metal (as pretty much anything heavier than Priest or Maiden was called back in '85) in a big way :)

@uuasnyder 6 ай бұрын

Love the reactions..... Being a big Lovecrafthian horror fan.... I'm gonna have to recommend any of their Cthulhu themed songs..... The Call of the Ktulu (an instrumental but fukkin SIC), The Thing That Should Not Be, or Dream No More...... The boys are sic as hell and their love of Cthulu is apparent 🤘🤘

Now a lot of people hated their 89's stuff because it did have a diff more commerical sound but as of late they have come out with a new album that harkens back to this stuff. I personally love most of their stuff .

@jesussaves9855 6 ай бұрын

You should react to any song from St Anger. It is regarded as their worst album. Personally I like it

Really happy when you rewinded the solo, best metallica solo fr. If u havent already, LISTEN TO FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS!! One of the best metallica songs

@chrisbassman3936 6 ай бұрын

This is personally my favorite album with master of puppest following after. Keep reacting to metallica and ill keep watching. A few oddball songs i like after the black album are I Dissappear, Fuel, The Day That Never Comes, Unforgiven 3, Until It Sleeps and St.Anger

@dougtipton8710 6 ай бұрын

that was my first metalica album i bought with malmsteins marching out , put the needle on the vinyl and blew my mind twice in one day ! it helps to listen to ride the lightening all the way through i believe as intended

@calseeor 6 ай бұрын

Yes sir, this is the album before Master and after Kill 'Em All. Did you notice the ending of the explosion at the start of the song, which is from the end of Fight Fire With Fire? Ride The Lightning would kick in immediately as Fight Fire was ending. Something about that transition without a pause, is epic IMO. Glad you are so into this stuff bro, keep digging in, the metal genre has more killer music than you can listen to.

Yes, Cliff played on this, and there are a couple of songs that really highlight what an amazingly creative player he was. First, For Whom the Bell Tolls starts out with this crazy chromatic riff that he came up with, and James added the "dun dun, dun dun, duhhhhhh" power chords underneath it. It also has the instrumental, The Call of Ktulu, which has solos from Kirk, James, and Cliff (kind of like Orion on Master of Puppets, only this song has a very icy wizard type of feel to it).

@joshspunkrockgarden9914 6 ай бұрын

Also, when you get to Kill 'Em All, the song, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), is a Cliff Burton bass solo that is also one of the craziest "guitar" solos of the era, and it leads into Whiplash, which they had recorded with a different bass player on their No Life 'Til Leather demo without the solo before it.

This is their second studio album. Kill em all, ride the lightening, master of puppets, and justice for all, the black album, load, reload, amongst others
