Ride the lightning is even better, ride and master of puppets are just next level. Hope we get full reactions to them as well

Going from Kill 'Em All to Ride the Lightning you get the idea there had to have been like 5 years between albums because they sound so different, but they were literally writing Ride as they were going to record Kill.

You should also check out their cover of the song "Am I Evil" it's included as a bonus track on most releases of the album after the initial release.

I LOVE that you do whole album reactions. You could go from this album all the way to their black album and I would watch every single reaction, I really look forward to them. great reactions

James hetfield wrote seek and destroy, a certified classic song, at the age of 18

There is a bonus track on the album... Am I Evil. Diamond head cover.

I enjoy your reactions man, very insightful. Two comments: a) Although Metallica never released a concept album, their first 4 albums each had a main theme. The first is called "Kill em all", thus the feelings of rage and murder runs throughout the album. b) I feel that metal especially in the 80s was the "go to" music for people who were bullied rather than those that were actually bullies. And the reason is that metal was unpopular, esoteric and rebellious, attributes more fitting for people that wanted to get back at the world.

Seek and destroy! Always a personal favorite of mine especially live. It was my first Metallica song I ever heard around 1985 I think. I have been hooked since then.

I have always loved Metallica.. and Led Zeppelin.. However, not sure whom I appreciate most right now.. you, or the other artists!! Thank you for keeping us such good work!!

Yes indeedy that opening riff in Seek and Destroy is iconic, and oh so satisfying to play.

I posted on #4, but I will here too. It would be awesome if you did the 2 covers on this album. Blitzkrieg and Am I Evil?.

Still love this first album. It’s so damn raw! But I don’t have to tell you about the progression and growth of this band from album to album. You’ll find out soon enough

Cannot wait to see you been blown away by the next Metallica-albums 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘…..

You should really check out …And Justice For All in it’s entirety, it’s got the best drumming and soloing of their career and is an absolute riff onslaught. It’s their most technical and progressive album

For me this is the BEST album, not only for the band, for the music in general. Not other better than this. Hey, they had 18 years old! Best James voice here. They are genius. Each other album has different atmosphere.... Master Piece every one. Good analisys. Normally, rap/ hiphop fans have speciall comprehension to understand and enjoy Metal music.

Love the full album reaction! Only thing I’ll add is you gotta go do the bonus tracks that were added to this album later, and react to “Am I Evil” and “Blitzkrieg”. Arguably two of their best. Then I’m looking forward to your full album reaction to “Ride the Lightning” and “Master of Puppets”! 🤘🤘🔥🔥 And don’t forget you could be the first to ever react to “the $5.98 EP- Garage Days Re-Revsisted” some of their absolute best ever riffs on that album!

the opening riff of "seek and destroy" is riff from "Diamond head - sucking my love"

Metal Militia is always my go-to song for when I want to just unleash energy, my absolute favorite track from this album

Glad you liked it. I think you'll like the next album too.

This was really fun. Glad to experience this great album with you.

I was a junior in high school when Kill Em All was released AND it was a whole new FUCKING level of metal....Nobody touches Metallic and still hasn't. Masterpiece....

Also now that you’ve heard these songs I recommend checking out some live versions either on your own or as a reaction. They are great live even all these years later. I know would gladly watch you react to live version even after watching you react to it already.

Fantastic reactions Syed. As a lifelong Metallica fan I loved every second. And I loved the cyborg analogies. Do Ride the Lightning brother. You won't be disappointed

You can definitely feel Dave mustaine on this album

Now you are ready for The Album... Ride The Lightning

I was there Nov 1985 Berkeley, Ca. I was 14. Proud to be from the epicenter of thrash

Awesome video brother. You got to do the same with Master of Puppets. For me is their best album. Rgds from Brazil dude

Man please do ride the lightning after

Nooooooooo cyborg! Gah, this ain't scifi. If you want a cyborg, Styx - Mr. Roboto

I think you'd enjoy Jason's first effort on garage days. Pretty rad.

It’s the Title of the album! Kill ‘em All

How do they do it? Well James is the riff master and he is still doing it.

Lars barely even knew how to play drums when this album was recorded. Can't remember if it's true or not, but I've heard that he was talking drumming lessons while this album was still being recorded.

Another great one!

Upload is glitching a good bit

I don’t care if you go through all of their albums like this but I highly recommend the first 4 for sure.

Suggestion: please consider reviewing Alice In Chains Dirt since the album just had its 30th anniversary on September 29th. Thanks.

Con el RIDE THE LIGHTNING te vas a correr....

Comments Add a comment... Eirik Rødberg 1 second ago I grew up on Metallica. A time we waited for albums and constantly read rock magazines to get info on when our favourite band was coming along with album fans were waiting for. So many good memories of finally going to the record store and there the brand new album was. Had heard nothing. Pre internet. No hints. Well…. Not quite right. Often they would release a single two weeks before the albums release to make everyone aware of the upcoming album and perhaps that single with an interesting b-side on the 7inch. A song that didn’t quite make the upcoming album, but often great and at times to be a fan favourite. Anyway. I waited for several Metallica albums. Master of puppets the first one in 86 when I was 14. 84, 86 and 88 were their big three in my opinion. Hated 1988s and justice for all initially. The production was so weird. Today it might be my favourite if theirs. The last great Metallica album. Would enjoy more sales in the 90s, but they lost me in 91ish.

Yes, it is a cyborg, and its name is Psychotron!

Epic shit right here

I don't know if it's just my phone or headphones, but I'm getting like a skip in the sound every few seconds. Anyways Ive really enjoyed your reaction to this awesome debut album from Metallica.

What is with skips in audio? Is that for copyright?

And to think they do it for arguably another 4 or 5 albums

Not too bad for a debut album

LARSSS! 🎉My MAN 😬😉

tried to watch this but the audio glitching just ruined it

The production of Kill Em All is better, the music on Ride The Lightning is better... eh. Their BEST albums by far.

Don't know if it's on your end or mine, but Seek and Destroy skips a note every now and then.

slam dancing music

Pretty sure that was Dave..

you need to go to a thrash show at least ones

There is no cyborg you muppet, get off that idea.

This is great, but Master of Puppets is the best Metallica album of all time

Scott Pilgrim Vs the world ruined a generation of women.... Lol look it up 🤣

Lars top drummers in the world
