Yep, that's exactly what "Whiplash" is about: Capturing the frenzy of those early Bay Area thrash shows - one part concert, one part prison riot. You're gonna get hurt, you're gonna have a great time. And this song is a tribute to that entire scene.

I was 10 years old, I listened to pop, the hardest music I knew was "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. And then my friend brought me a mixtape that started with "Whiplash" by Metallica. As soon as the thrash riff started, my jaw dropped to the floor. I had no idea you could play like that. I was blown away and immediatelly fell in love with metal. Still a metal-head 32 years later \m/

Such a relatable story my brother! This is essentially how I found Metallica too and let's not forget fuckin' PANTERA! Only my progression came from Def Leppard, Poison, Skid Row and Mötley Crüe to today jammin' shit like Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Machine Head, Avenged Sevenfold, Sylosis and, my current favorite, TRIVIUM!! Of course, there are a shit ton more bands that I love, I just wanted to throw a few in there to kinda create a timeline. Oh btw, I'm 44 and my head is somehow still attached! LONG LIVE METAL!! 🤘💀🤘

Then I went to record shop a few months later and Kill'em All was there. That was it after that day.
