I thought I didn't like it until I started listening to Metalica now I can't let metal leave my favorite genres.

philbertmill2 haha so true

When I was growing up metal = going to hell. And we got a used computer with 18,000 songs on it. I made peace with me going to hell after discovering Metallica and MM and Corrosion of Conformity...... That was probably like sixth grade. That was a while ago.

Aleister Black oh yah. I don’t believe in it anymore. But I was raised extremely religious. It’s way more fun to listen to without the secrecy and guilt. XD

philbertmill2 I don’t know my friend said he liked limp bizkit better than Metallica

Sajaaa it most definitely is

Sajaaa I mean it is a minute long so there would probably be a pause there but that’s still no excuse

I was headbanging so when he stopped the song it scared the living shit out of me. I almost threw my phone .

Sajaaa noob

"Hello, police.."

Because you can relive your first time listening to Metallica through them.

@@niklaseriksson7396 makes u wish you had’ve filmed yourself hearing it for the first time too doesn’t it? 🤪

For me it's watching people first experience Stevie Ray Vaughn. I never get enough of watching people see their life suddenly fill up in a previously empty space.

It's because they realise what they've been missing all these years.

It validates how good you already know they are.

They actually be like that

carlos Literally!! My parents wouldn’t let me listen since it would lead me to the devil... 😂😂😂😂👊🏻🤘🏻

Pf

@@truellaksala my parents headbanging with me

@@truellaksala my dad is an oldschool metalhead

Exactly bro! Hahaha

agree 100000%

EVER AGAIN!

He’s probably the first person to do it it

Yeeeeeh

You said two thing, why’d you say the same thing twice?

Nick Clutterbuck those are the same things

Nick Clutterbuck 3 thing actually. dont do headshaking instead headbanging

He will pause the Metallica before you’re done.

calm down its just metallica

He simply can't make a bad song, if it's a collaboration, he makes it good/better.

Real talk tho how the fuck is Ozzy still alive

@@clayton29 basically 1 year ago scientists said that ozzy can't die by drugs

@@nikolaskapa9904 Ozzy is God because if he wasn't, he would be dead by now.

Nah, that title would go to Hunter S Thompson.

Same story here brother.

I started off with Reload then hardwired then the Black album then Ride the lightning then Master Of Puppets then Kill 'Em All then ...And Justice For All.

84?

Metallica is cool name really

@@cooltravis6945 Give me a break. That was a few years and a few brain cells ago...

Darn tootin!

You done incurred my wrath!

At my place everyone knows my rules. As far as music playing they know there are a handful of bands/artists that you DO NOT 1) Turn volume down 2) Pause or stop during a song. With the possible exception of someone dying before the song concludes. Of course Metallica is one of those bands. There would have been a physical altercation (!!WHACK!! "Watthfuc dude????) and banishment for either a period of time or until the end of time. There is some music that has become a part of you to the point it is almost a gut punch if a song is interrupted. And yes, I am one of those people that even after I arrive home or anywhere else I will sit in my car to finish listening to a song by certain bands/artists. I'll have it on my main streaming playlist, on my mp player, and even on cd and still wait till the end. It may be crazy, but if I couldn't listen music anymore for some reason I don't know how long I would last. Through the best times and worst times of your entire life the music has always been there for you. It needs to be treated with respect. And now I am done with my philosophical exposition. 🤪🤘

@Boruch ArnoldHell yeah! Brothers and sisters of the Metal Nation!

That's the truth, it seems like every time I am in my care listening to no more tears and I get to the solo, phone call EVERY TIME BRO! Now I just put my phone on do not disturb, as that is my fav solo and I won't have it ruined anymore!

Better yet, try to imagine "Master of Puppets" being your introduction to Metallica!

@@Anthoman001 it was!🙂

That’s why I watch these reacts

I was like 3 y/o or something haha. I can't remember it.

The same excitement was there watching this guy react to it. Re-living my intro to Metallica through my memory that remains.

About 14 for me now It was my Master to for years and years.Love this song hits deep.

As a former drug addict with 2 months sober I miss drugs.

@@DastardlyDavid69 same, but I promise it gets easier. The craving never vanish fully but they get a lot easier to manage.

@@dracaroni.n.cheese It was my only to escape both reality and myself. But I was overdosing too often. I miss it like a lost love. Maybe I’ll value my sobriety when I have a reason to value myself.

@@DastardlyDavid69 support groups saved my life. I didn’t drink nearly as much as I used, but I found a home in AA. Now that I’m chairing meeting’s I get to pass on what I learned and am still learning, but the best part for me is the friends I’ve made that all understand that hungering for escape.

same here

There are much better solos...like...anything from Dimebag

So true.

That's illegal

@@omarsheriff51 Well now - not your taste but still you watch?

@@r.b.rozier9692 Nonsense.

Havent heard Metallica YET

Omg, so true 😃

CDubsTV me neither

Yessir

@@earthboundmother205 two types of people, those who know @earthboundmother's favorite food, when it's cold, on Fridays AND those who don't... 😁

Was watching him be super impressed by James' solo and I was like "Just wait until Kirk's"

@@Wynorrific when Kirk hits the solo, his face matched my exact reaction my first time truly appreciating metallica

Goosebumps for the 1000th time when that solo hits, it never gets old!

Howd you know

Oh my god!! You’re stopping during the best parts, like the whole song!

Flint so true

first time hearing One

I honestly cannot remember a time in which I didn’t know what Metallica sounded like, considering I was raised by one of the biggest Metallica fans I ever knew

Ah the first time hearing Metallica is a special time in a Metalhead's life.

I mean I had heard enter sandman and nothing else matters, but Master of Puppets got me into metal and I’m getting into a lot of thrash

Yep just from the music you can visualize it

And in the end, death by overdose, the master gives its last laugh. Just perfect!

honestly i never truly realized how well written this song is. Such a masterpiece

Nah first time in a mosh pit at a concert more like it.

Nill 😂😂

He should listen some German metal, he would collapse.

Nill uup

Nill yup

Puta los qliaos ordinarios por la rechucha

Was that a Metallica reference lol

Sad But True

They all listin to rap now :(

My friends unfortunately hear this "Nightcore" which is just garbage. they do not understand the "nightcore" Steals from others and try to "artificially" improve it. I try to tell them the truth and their excuses are "that's my opinion". they do not want to acknowledge the truth. such a shame, they do not know what they miss.

True

thank you thank you!

Alex Hefner Oh yeah, and welcome to the Dark Side. I think it's more than past time. The power of the metal shall grow within you.

Atom Ogre Boatswain have you heard of fuel?

Swamp _ That's a good one too. I still think this song is the peak because of the fact that it shows the full spectrum of Metallica's sound. As an introductory song, it's a perfect snapshot of what someone should expect from Metallica.

The top of metallica are "One" or "Sanitarium" (in my opinion)

Death Nunslaughter This song went through a lotta renditions before they recorded this version, it was originally s'posed to be on Ride The Lightning. It was written after Dave Mustaine was kicked out for being a massive drug addict, the rest of the band were heavy drinkers though.

ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ dave was a major heroine addict up until youthanasia and then he found jesus now he's a religious nut but I still love him

Alchoholica eas their name

There's bit of metal in all our hearts.

God bless this man's comment!!! Welcome Home Alex... welcome home

One year later what happened now in your metal narnia?

@@lorens7958 That event happened about 20 years ago now. My metal Narnia has grown exponentially since. I'm still a metalhead and I'm well past 30

Probably talking about cocain my man

@@lucianoangelo19 that was probably as false as my mum's teeth

Luciano Angelo Metallica is a band lmao

Lmao. Wow ur badass now since you've done alot of coke. Good for you. "I know Metallica just ask him" Lmfao. I didn't know there was a guy in Metallica named Metallica. All this time I thought James, Kirk, Jason and/or Cliff, and Lars were in Metallica. If your going to insult someone make sure you know what your talking about. You sound like the people who say " I love Pink Floyd" and then ask which one is Pink,.

In know what chop your breakfast on a mirror means FFS. That was the whole point of my comment.... Fuck my life, some people man 😂😂

No doubt.

You're not wrong. It's what happened to me oh so many years ago.

The "OMG" moment when Kirk Hammett solo kicks in at 5:00. Thats how metalheads are forged in, molded into metal.

damn you're right

So fing true

Lol

Yesssss!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Christopher Linden Gutierrez downpicking is easy. But Hetfield has one of the heaviest, MEANEST right hands in the game

😂😂😂

And to an absolute banger using only downpicks for James

Oh shit man

Hell YES

Pretty good?? Those are fightin words!

@@echoradius2299 No, seriously, it is one the best albums made. I favor the understatement. Also, James should get extra credit for his guitar work because he down-plucks every single note.

I was always more partial to Damage Inc personally, but this album is peak Metallica for sure. It's pure brilliance end to end.

Batteryyyyyyy

ehi now, what about Reign in Blo- oh wait you said melodic. forget I wrote that

Tnx finally

While the four of you over, pissing your panties, saying " oh my god they're fucking so annoying, they're whining about this guy pausing a video cuz of copyright, it's not like I haven't bitched about anything ever, jesus christ, these metal heads are bitches." We love our music, it gets us pumped if you have to just so you don't, edit the fucking video to slow down a bit, don't say, oh god they're bitching, ahhhhh. Don't pull up with that crap.

YOUR WRONG!!! I DONT EVEN CARE IF THIS VIDEO GETS COPIRIGHT STRIKE STOPPING METALLICAS SOLO IS ILLEGAL

@@ryanmarkey9506 This reply along with the latter is one great example of why metal elitist *(not metalheads)* are listed among the most stupid people in history since the neandertahls and its ironic that you accuses him of being whiny when your response is far worse, seems like logic is too much for you too handle. And surely, slowing down a solo would definetely make the elitists happier.......

Joseph Duncan I think Metallica now owns the copyright to all their own music. I think James said this on joe rogan. So I wonder if Metallica would care about striking this down for copyright? Interesting to think about

CptMcquacken that’s what it feels like when you find Metallica

Agreed I have stated before that no matter what genre music is the universal language of the world

hah, right

Well that is actually the case

10x ? I thought it got 6x

10x ? I thought it got 6x

And I think that's what this guy and what most of today's kids don't grasp. I was onto Kill 'Em All when it came out (I was in high school so it was right in the teen boy sweet spot for that kind of music) but it was Ride the Lightning that was the real bomb. I couldn't play that album enough back in the day and everyone I knew was just blown away by the sound. Metallica, with that album, took over heavy metal music...and, like you said, they did it with no assistance whatsoever from traditional music mass media. Back in those days it was word of mouth and some late night, heavy metal show on the radio. No internet, no Limewire yet, very little airplay and only some spotty coverage on MTV. The groups that rose to the top, like Metallica, did so without a pushed media blitz/agenda like they do today. They played instruments. They sang without autotune. True musical talent on display done, oftentimes, without any expectation of vast fame and fortune that top 40 acts enjoyed. Actual musical talent. And if this guy liked what he heard on its own merits, imagine how much more impressed he'd be if he was aware of the environment that that album arose from.

@@craig328 but the sad thing is , metal bands barely even get platinum albums. Metallica , iron maiden , black sabbath , judas priest , ozzy osbourne , dio , megadeth , pantera are the only real metal bands that have platinum albums. And it's shocking that the number of the bands is only 8.

You weren’t wrong

lol man so true

His face went full 🥴he looked like he was umm something

Amazing

🤣🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊

Patrick Handlin. Never heard of Metallica I nearly fell over lol

Greatest ever . Followed them since mid 80s here in Ireland. Listen to them daily :-)

This is a great comment

@@Heyoo414 I agree

Best comment indeed, for me it was 'Be all, end all' - but my life was not the same after hearing it in '88 (Germany), I entered one of the greatest subcultures, with lifelong friends, recruited my girlfriends and finally wife from there (and from goths, nice girls, just smelled weird), now 46 year long haired father of two, still drumming along. Not wanting to draw a parallel tho this 'thug life' stuff, if you found metal or if it finds you, but the thing is that every metalhead I know has his/her story to tell, you don't end up with us accidentally, it all makes sense, it is a huge therapy after all. I owe metal so much that I could never possibly pay back, so I kinda feel sorry for the guy in the video, Alex, you've been missing out... big time.

Another great song from this truly amazing album. ❤️

Nice

it was incredible!

You and me both bro. I was too young for Kill and Lightning, but getting Puppets and Justice on cassette day one.....damn.....it was the stuff of legends.

that is the exact nature of this channel! you get to live vicariously through me! :) i hope it brought back great memories for ya

My sister had it on cassette in 1989, so I heard it muffled then from the neighbouring room. The I bought the Black Album in late 91

O by the way, you should live vicariously through watching Vicarious by Tool, if you can handle the intense CG video, that is.

Ha, I still remember sitting in my room 87 listening to master of puppets, ride the lightning, kill em all and garage days. Then seeing here in Australia in 89, such a musical love!

+Alex Hefner "live vicariously through me"? Pantera - Living Through Me ( Hell's Wrath ) confirmed?

Maria Arreaga right! I was damn near giddy watching him enjoy it!

Maria Arreaga I’m glad my videos have the power to make you feel happy. To me, that’s incredible. Thank you ❤️

Hardcore, Maria? Hmmm I’ll be the judge of that! Hahaha! Jk! I love Metallica too!

Define hardcore please :D

Osarot a real 'men' grammar lmao.

Josh1301 Sorry, just edited that

Praise the Puppet.

it is thrash metal after all

Omar, sorry bro but kuzenbo is right, the beer is SO mandatory

@@omarsheriff51 exactly thats what the master Of Puppets is about

Ha...too funny!

Kevin mine swore I would become a drug addict damn bitch was right too lmfao but six years clean is good right lmfao

My mom and dad raised me with metal

A shame she didn't really listen. That is one of the most anti drug use songs ever.

@@omarsheriff51 well remember in the 80s people thought metallica was a bunch of satanists

i've never had a apple pie meanwhile metallica is my favorite band

I've never had apple pie.. haha been listening to Metallica since I was a boy 10

William Carberry well, you get what I mean.

Lmao that man said he fucked an apple pie....I'm fucking crying

When did this thread turn into American Pie?

I actually got iron maidens ryme of the ancient Mariner to be a short lived official part of the English curriculum in school because I introduced it to a teacher who had no idea about what metal actually was and she wound up loving it because of how well it helped translate the poem for people in class.

HELL YEAH!

Lmao that's awesome

Ha same! I picked it for a 10th grade Health class. Teacher turned it off about 6 minutes in saying that we got the idea...

🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

The Black Album is why. That album helped make them the biggest metal band in the world. It's not their best album but it is their most commercially successful.

I feel like a lot of people unfairly rag on the black album - sometimes a popular thing is popular because it's good.

Kenny Well said, by far not their best album but yeah, it was huge

zoey mallon there are many bad ass bands out there but metallica takes the top

Had a similar reaction, one of my faves - I would have picked this song to showcase too.

The breakdown and solo reaction...made me travel back to my teen days.

I was frickin 8!

I thought the exact same thing.

@@z33chie Go to bed!!! xD

I thought same.

I remember the first time I heard Metallica and it was through this song. It blew my mind. And it still continues to do so.

My first ever Metallica song was Disposable Heroes at like age 5

First time i heard metallica was in 85. Ride the lightning is fire. All throughout

@@bluntforcetrauma2141 Hell yeah!

James D dafuq???? He's one of the fucking greatest 😳😳😳

@The LaggingGamer I disagree. He's one of the easiest guys on the planet to dislike and, while there are better drummers, his drumming is, imo, over-hated on.

@@dard4642 Indeed! I mean, he's certainly no virtuoso, but he can play Metallica songs. And what else does he really have to know how to play? =)

Probably thinks he'd have added more wah pedal in hindsight

Well...if You Compare Kirk's Solos on Songs written Later-to Early Metallica(Dave/James)there is Agreement with Him. Part of Being a Musician is Composition and Writing and at THAT TIME-Metallica WAS Cliff and James!! Also include the Style that Mustaine Imprinted on the Bands Early Guitar Sound.

Murky Lurks not many can see themselves with beethoven at 22

Murky Lurks Yep. James has chunks of Bieber in his stool. 😎

+MontagZoso: James killed and ate Justin Bieber? Metal!

damn rights..different times bro

That makes for an awful comparison D:

Mustaine was. That's why he got booted.

chop your breakfast on a mirror does not refer to alcohol

"chop your breakast on a mirror" thats not alcohol. No, none of them ever did that, but they still made this song to open others eyes, who were doing it. Also, he says "fix me" and in concerts when he says that, and makes a gesture as if he's injecting himself.

I can't speak to the whole band. The mirror reference has merit. BUT Ive heard Hetfield talk about alcoholism referring to himself.

Kirk definitely was addicted to coke, though. Don't know about James.

The Kitten's Crash Helmet you're so right

I know!! I was thinking the same thing, while the guitars are spitting tongues of flame his head is all lickity split lickity

LOL

Conner Stephenson just a bit , but ill give it to him for his first listen. At least he’s not as bad as the two dudes that rapped enter sandman

Lowest Quality Human I understood that reference

I'm also a hiphop head listening to Metallica first time through this video and I was doing the same thing until I read this comment and got conscious 😂 🤦‍♂️

1987..I was introduced to Ride the Lightning..I was 7 years old...changed my life forever

Bro I was jammin kill em all when I was 1. Lol. My dad had a huge old school tape player with like 10 speakers in the living room. Every night we had metal lessons. Great times.

Cheers guys, my pops introduced me to Metallica at 4 in 1991. I remember getting into the black album but then hearing ride and master when I was a little older and falling in love. Im 30 now and my pops' been gone for almost 9 years.But every time I put on some Metallica, its like he's right next to me.

I was like 4 when I first heard Metallica and first time seeing them live was last year one of my all time favorite concert

It was March of '94, and I was hanging out at the local comic & games shop, playing this hot new TCG called "Magic The Gathering" with some other kids from school when the owner dropped a CD he'd just picked up into the player. It was The Black Album. By the end of Enter Sandman, I was hooked. I've been a metal-head ever since.

Skinny Sam his reaction is fucking priceless😂

No

Pilsner Urquell well I stole your face

eargasm is real

And the interlude

Exactly

4 worth listening to.

That's the best part, a lot to catch up with, and you don't have to wait for the release of a new album

Unless of its game of thrones, then no matter how good it is u just won't find time to watch it all. Or one piece for instance

Me watching game of thrones. I had it all spoiled up to season 7 and i was still suprised. I wish i could delete memories so i could watch it again.
