Hi, I have been a Metallica fan for 40 years. Got the L.P's, T-shirts, tatoo's and seen them in concerts. My kids have all heard me blasting Metallica out for years. All of them play fortnite and got me into it back in 2020. This is AWESOME! I just hope my wife does not see how many V-bucks i have spent on them. Long live the 'tallica boys!! Hell Yeah. I'm with you on the ride for this update!!

Fortnite updated the game so that you can use Jam Tracks as lobby tracks meaning you can use songs from Metallica as the background song for your lobby.

KInd of reminds me of how Guitar Hero introduced a generation of kids to so many songs.

Fun little fact metallica has always been in fortnite since the start(not really) but in stw there's is a character named Lars and you know who that's based on with a storm mission called ride the lighting

My 15-year-old self would call them sellouts. Now, as a 50-year-old I say Let's Go.

A REAL metal head does not gatekeep music. a REAL metal head encourages your enjoyment of metal/rock/poprock. All I gotta say if give absolute positive feedback they added Metallica into. Fortnite and festival so they know what the fans want and will buy.

I was basically introduced to metallica through fortnite. I have known of them my whole life and heard a few songs here and there, but playing through all of the songs on festival and learning more about their story as a band through playing has actually been really awesome. I have gained a lot of appreciation and respect for them! With that said, I think there is a lot of people who are upset at collaborations like this because they wanna gatekeep their favorite bands or whatever and its really sad. I really loved your positive attitude about this topic and you are so well spoken. keep it up!! :)

There is a secret quest that you can get if you visit the monument inside the island bar in memorial of of Cliff Burton

The one thing we need is slipknot update their masks look so cool

I’m in my 30s and I have never really been much of a heavy metal fan (more rap hip hop) but since Fortnite has released Metallica I’ve been enjoying the music. I found myself listening to them on Spotify the other day🤘🏻🤘🏻⚡️⚡️💙

It took me about 27 hrs total to unlock the whole minipass. Been rockin' James for a couple days. Good luck gettin everything!

13:14 I think Metallica became known by gen z after master of puppets was in stranger things 4. When I saw the emote in Fortnite I was like “oh it’s the song from stranger things”

This is probably one of the best updates for Festival

That is by no means 2024 Kirk Hammet. I think the Kirk skin is easily the best one but it is not 60 year old Kirk skin. This is about 40 year old Kirk represented in game and I am glad they didn't do a white haired Kirk. This version looks like the Chris Cornell we will never get.

It’s about time that Fortnite put a metal band in the game, I really hope they add more rock/metal bands or members in the future. Awesome video. 🤘🏼

I don’t know if you saw this, but in the item shop they have 4 more Metallica skins, and 2 emotes.

You are so right about passing the torch. My son is 12 and he's always liked Metallica, but this just adds a whole new dimension to the band and their music for him and all his friends who play together. We're both having a blast grinding this Festival Pass and enjoying the BR additions, even though it's hella difficult (for me at least) to hit another player with the guitar, haha. Would love to see more Fortnite content!

never thought i would ever get to see lars ulrich doing a fortnite dance 🤣🤣🥁

Eyyyy, I live in TN, too, and also love metal and Fortnite!! You're my kinda person! 🤘🤘 lol

About time, love the Guitar Hero Metallica and now in fortnie, love it😎🤘🔥🇧🇻

real metallica fans would ALL UNITE TO GO SEE THEIR FORTNITE SHOW IN JUNE 22 & 23

Also, in the Rocket Racing gamemode there are quests to get Metallica themed car decorations too

love the content !!! you should be a streamer !! i would subscribe 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Some good ways of getting some extra value from this is by using the Banner Icon cosmetics along with the Superhero Emoji cosmetics. It allows you to turn the emojis you get from the Festival Pass into backbling and have cosmetics with the Metallica "M" on it. I have a flag-wave emote that I'm going to put that "M" on and use with the band members.

9:07 not fortnite but brand call PDP currently selling guitar controller and rumor has it they are also making drum kit for it aswell

ayy im happy your happy. I didnt particularly care for this cuz I dont listen to rock but im glad theres people who genuinely love this. I feel the same way you feel whenever we get something marvel or dc in the item shop / battlepass knowing theres probably others who dont care in the slightest.

lol your reaction was the same as mine with metallica

Your hair is amazing, I think I like that people can have these amazing reactions to favorite artists or bands coming to the band. Thats what Epic does better then Activison in my opinion BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO THERE FANS

Theres more Metallica skins and other things in the Shop, react to all those too 😊 Rip to your wallet after you see everything 😂

Seeing you get so excited brings me back to when they added Ariana Grande to the game and I was sooo excited! I started playing because they added her skin.

I want to see someone play “one” on the bass in the guitar hero thing 😂

Them coming Fortnite got me into their music I like them

They need to add Whiskey In The Jar to the festival it'll be so much fun to play I love their cover

Miss Metallica 🤘

There is new riffmaster guitar released for festival (and rock band 4), but any rock band 4 guitar should work in festival

As a 13 yr old Metalhead and Fortnite Freak, the second I found out about metallica was going to be in Fortnite I absolutely FREAKED 🤘

Now all we need is an old school Eric Draven skin and my life is complete lol kidding but this is awesome and a crow skin would be great

I think it would’ve been awesome if they added another edit style of what they looked like in the 80s-90s

There's lots more than just the pass in the shop too!

Notice: its more optimal to launch your attacks upon upon unlocking them. Saving the boost as a counter is the best option when in 2nd or 1st place. Also, hitting the right trigger acts as any note so long as you have the boost/attack available. You can now use certain guitar hero peripheral devices in fortnite festival.

your gamer tag freaked me out for a second cause I’ve been pkmngamer for forever and thought it was my name for a second lmao

Festival introduced more metallica songs to me that i really like my favorite is for whom the bell tolls but before i was starting to like metallica i used to hate metal but now i love it

also there is going to be a metalica concert in creative on june 22th apparently

I am officially in love.

they have a Cliff easter egg in the battle royale game mode its lit 🔥

The battle stage right now is very frustrating for us pc players it won't let us use custom controls and defaults to super terrible shift asd and spacebar bindings. can't even get my guitar hero controller working since the update 😬

3:47 the stepbrothers reference 😂

We all need to be as cool as caity

It's awesome I'm glad they added them

new subscriber I came for the Fortnaite video, record more videos about it, this one is incredible❤❤🎉

How cool would it be if they did the skins from Kill'em All up to Justice.

I bought every single metallica skins including the battlepass one and been having a blast playing festival battle and got numerous 1st place. Almost done with the pass, james is the last to get. Helll yeahhhhhhhh

I unironically became a fan because of this

I love Metallica 😆😆😆 I grew up on it and my dad's a big Metallica fan as well !!! I also bought the music festival battle pass and the Skins I even got the car wrap I love them so much !!!

Bought it all ! Needs cliff in it for sure

IM JUST WAITING FOR MAIDEN NOW

They do have an official guitar controller but it’s third party made by the company pdp it’s called riffmaster iirc if you have a rock band 4 controller it should also work on fortnite though

So beautiful

YEAAAAAAHHH! 🤘🏻

metallica in game concert saturday the 22nd at 2pm est!

I need this pass so bad, but my damn dad won't let me use my money for it

Ya not sure if you into the racing mode but they have a Metallica themed track that kinda cool at one point you race down like a Giant garitar plus there the fuel song playing the whole time while your racing. ..

There’s item shop versions of them too

People need to get a grip! Metallica have been “mainstream” since 1991-92.

you need your visual sound effects in it’ll help you TONSSSS in battle royal

I love to see how fans react to collabs because clearly they are for them and it is great Metallica did a great job with Epic and I am little sad that others like Lady Gaga didn't take advantage of the opportunity so much.

Fortnite does sell guitar controllers. Riffmaster pdp controller

If this gets the younger generation into metal I see nothing wrong with it

It's a shame that cliff burton isn't apart of the metallica event

I am geeking out over this being a met fan, who cares if they are in a game there are so many easter eggs in the game for fans if you don't enjoy it don't play.

Damn, I'm sorry you got creeps flirting with you when you're just tryna geek out. I feel your excitement though, I love when Fortnite drops a big crossover I've been crossing my fingers for

Somewhere Dave Mustaine is screaming internally

I did buy all the metallica stuff in game

What your guys favorite Metallica song

THERES MORE METALLICA IN THE SHOP!!!

I bought the Lars skin so fast

I come from the punk rock, post-hardcore scene never been a big fan of this heavy metal stuff, but i will say as sort of a first time actually sitting down and listening to these Metallica songs and not tuning it out when it plays (im young) they're honestly really fun! I really hope later down in the line we get more Metallica songs because they are very fun to play on the hardest difficulty :D

3:45 I'd put my nads on Lars drumset. You're wrong! It's James Hetfield! He is the one who is the best band member. Down stummin' machine.

Never really heard metallica till stranger things 4 but now im just in love with fuel, master of puppets, and enter sandman

does she not know what copyright strikes are?

she's so freaking beautiful like literally man😍😍

Why does this comment section give og fortnite vibes,so peaceful and loves the update

I love Metallica I think it was $40 for all skins couldn’t justify it but I’m glad a had enough extra V-bucks for the Ride the lightning contrail it’s the best item It plays the song when you drop in it sadly doesn’t loop if you’re still mid air so it’s unfortunate you float in silence for a time but still amazing I hope they do more music contrails think of the possibilities Dragon Ball Metal Gear X-men

Bro I bought everything Metallica in game and buying the shirts. I recently bought a guitar and right now they are my main inspiration! Yes they are new to me because they came out in Fortnite! Don’t hate me bros lol

Just subbed. I’m in to all the same shit. I love horror and Rock/Metal. Have a Metallica Tattoo even 😂. If you ever want to play duos hit me up 👍

Did you see the other Metallica skins

The best update to fortnite was metallica and second can use jam track as lobby

Girl u forgot the other skins they have in the item shop

feels so good to have this after the lackluster weeknd, lady gaga and billie eilish introductions

This is the only actual Music Battle Pass I bought. I'd actually listen and LIKE Metallica unlike those pop singers before. Edit: I won a game with Lars 😁

While I'm not an active metal listener like my friend is, I'm really glad to see Metallica make it to Festival, since we were previously lacking in metal music entirely. Before Season 3, we only had 4 metal tracks, and one of them was an Epic Games song. As for the gatekeeping, I think it's cringe and needs to stop entirely. I can tell people still have the "Fortnite bad" mentality ingrained into their brains and freak out when anything they like collaborates with them. I don't understand that form of logic whatsoever, and all it does is cause unnecessary negativity. I'm happy for a vast majority of artists who make it into Festival (unless their music/behavior is absolutely terrible), and I've been begging for Harmonix to add some more underground artists to Festival. The extra publicity and ears on their music is a good thing, regardless of their popularity. If they didn't do this with Dragonforce back in the Guitar Hero days, they would be nowhere near as popular as they are now.

Hey!! You should check out the Quest tab, I believe the other guitars you were talking about are in them! I'm a metallica newbie (Like, NEW-bie. Fuel j ust got me into the band) so I don't know if they are the guitars

Honestly, the people complaining about kids getting into Metallica through Fortnite are just as stupid as people complaining about kids getting into Metallica through Guitar Hero 15 years ago. Who gives a shit how someone else discovers great music? Gatekeeping is stupid.

Who wants to run duos?

Despite liking Metallica very much, not exactly a fan like you. But as a Fortnite player, I can say that the Festival mode was totally saved by this Metallica collab. It's not even fun anymore to play songs, other than Metallica's , it's like the mode was built to them. It feels like a super rockstar playing their songs. And their loot island is the coolest ever. Major major W collab!

oh ye-yeah

Yeah the skins are ok 6.5/10

You would make the perfect wife for me. I’ve seen Metallica 26 times live. #MFF #Tallica4Life

U play on Xbox not on PlayStation? That's a shame

Play more fortnite
