"But we'll never stop, we'll never quit, 'cause we're Metallica." They've been keeping their promise since Whiplash first played live on October 23, 1982.
@@brandonsimmons1695 I can see ur point. But 'Horseman' has that awesome Mellow part, thus not eligible for "hardest" track was the MEATHEAD logic we possessed at the time. No?
Dave mustaine was in the band when these songs were written but was kicked out before they recorded the album. Kirk Hammett flew to New York and recorded this album with them.
and it was their best decision imho, never would have reached current status with him, but he is/was a very good componist on songs. Just think M would have never gone that far with him. They were right to kick the drugs out.
@@cyborgar15some songs on garage days are much older. Am i evil was recorded in 1984 i think and crash course is 1988 probably. Not sure about the small hours tho
I saw Metallica open for Ozzy August 1986 tragically 1 month later one of the most talented bassist was tragically taken from us. It was a horrible day that ill never forget!! All the metal radio stations, MTV and headbangers ball etc..were all in remorse over the news. I cried so much, and then the thoughts... its over man. All news people were saying it....But Metallica said, No, we ain't done! We'll Never stop because we're Metallica!! I seen them 88 -89 AJFA tour...with Jason Newstead and it was killer, But I couldn't stop thinking about Cliff 😢. It was hard to swallow. But i kept with the boys, and i still love them as much as i did at 17-18. ❤🤘
I saw that tour, also. Just a little before you in Fort Worth. Cliff's death was a huge bummer, and I'm glad the guys carried on, but I'm really glad I got to see Cliff, even just that once.
One of the reasons I love this album is because while a little less sophisticated than their later stuff, it’s just so shreddy. Like half the album is just wild solos. Also, definitely listen to their version of Am I Evil, and then listen to the original by Diamond Head, who was one of Metallica’s biggest influences
Moshing to this at a show in 1984 is one of my most fondest memories. The fire that came from those guys blew my 14 year old mind and I was hooked on metal for life!!!
I can see and feel The Pit starting to circle at about 2:12. Those were the days, folks. Man, this takes me back, and watching a real reaction from a young person who appreciates this kind of sound makes my day.
@@thomasjr11111 You literally took those words out of my mouth. They may have made a deal with the devil in the parking lot that night in Seattle. I wasn't there, but I did go to their Mountain View show in California. EPIC!!!!
My friend, yes this album you have to react to "Four Horsemen".....and then to "Mechanix" by Megadeth, and you will be in for a surprise. No spoilers guys!!😁🤘
@@jonnyblad Sorry, I'm Italian, it's Google Translate's fault!!🤣 . However, the important thing is to understand each other, and you have. understood what I meant💪🤘
Seattle 92 and metallica decided to place rows of connected chairs where the mosh pit and general admission should be. Bad idea and we weren't having it. As soon as the lights went out to start the show, people flowed like water from the grandstands and rows of chairs were being passed overhead. If you didn't keep up and pass them behind you, you were catching a row of chairs with your teeth. The massive 25 foot tall pile of chairs in the back of the arena was a cool sight. Great fun.
I once played Kill Em All for a Deadhead/ reggae type guy. He heard Kirks solos and said that can’t even be real. I pulled out a photo of the band and pointed out Kirk. He’s real. It’s that guy!!!
First time I saw them was on the And Justice For All tour in Hawaii They played their hearts out and at the end of the night James sang “ we’ll never stop we’ll never quit because YOU’RE Metallica “ the crowd gave a massive yell back Every one in the band was smiling throwing picks and drum sticks as they left the stage .Watch Seattle 89 it captures the feeling exactly.
Most of Metallica were 18 when this album was released!! ZERO radio play - all their first 3 albums was word of mouth and magazine promotion to be heard. Truly underground stuff!
Being their debut album they hadn't totally discovered their own sound yet. They were relying on their musical influences more, like Diamond Head, Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy etc. Plus the Mustaine Factor!
The mosh pits at the early shows, body’s flying, so much energy, so much fun. They influence so many bands today. I saw them in 88 and couple times. At the time they would have been with 3-4 other thrash bands touring.
My big Brother introduced me to "and justice for all" when I was about 9-10 years old, when the album was new. "Kill 'em all" is my 💯% favorite Metallica album "ajfa" a very very close second. Love to se others discover this sound for the first time 🤟
I saw them perform this live in the late 90s, I recognized the song from the first moments, and still I finished that guitar solo wishing I could rewind and hear it again.
Mustaine was a part of the band and wrote some of this stuff but was kicked out before they recorded kill em all. Metallica changed some of the stuff and improved it and came out with the best debut metal album of all time.
LOL. I was in high school when this came out. I had "volunteered" for the school district radio station and took the last shift on Friday....which gave me a key to shut the station down. What we REALLY did was go smoke dope in the parking lot for four or five hours until we thought it was safe to go back and fire it up again. During the day the station read announcements about school plays and sports. But our late night show played THIS, Black Flag, weird Euro synth stuff and whatever we felt like. This album will forever be tied to that radio station in my memories.
Bro you gotta see their live version of this in Seattle it’s ruthless and pure energy. But this is one of my favorite Metallica songs. Love your reaction
This was my Favorite song by them for such a long time! I remember being on ground floor 1988 screaming whiplash at the top of my lungs until they played it. The energy was fuckin incredible! Can't describe it
they tried to bolt down the seating in Vancouver for a metallica show I had "floor seats" for. the crowd ripped up the seats threw them in a pile to make a mosh pit. it was great.
If you ever get through your request list check out Motörhead, ace of spades, Lemmy was great! Another band you need to check out is, system of a down. You will love them! BYOB, Ariels, chop suey, sugar, Toxicity, Lonely Day. Just for laughs, check out ICP boogie woogie wu. Lol
@@MollyBoyTV James has said Lemmy and Motörhead were a big influence on him. They have have an homage track on the album Hardwired to Self Destruct - Murder One, which was the name of Lemmy’s amp…
Good afternoon Mr. MollyBoyTV,, Kurt here from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦,, just a little tidbit for ya,, The song “ Creeping Death “ was written by no other than a young 17 year old Kirk Hammet,, musically and lyrically,,,, now hats genius at work,,, at 17,,,,, it’s why he’s in my top 3 guitarists of all time,,,, by the way,,,, other songs that are must listen to and react to,, also on the Kill’em all album are ,, “ No Remorse” “ Blitzkrieg “ and their signature encore show ending song “ Seek and Destroy “ so happy you reacted to “ Whiplash “ so good bro!! Love it, cheers 🍻 from Canada 🇨🇦
I saw them in the 80s on monsters ofvrock tour and when they did this song the whole stadium was vibrating. It was so hot they were spraying the crowd with fire hoses. Great times
Need to listen to all of Kill ‘em All. It’s an incredible album. Their debut album. It’s raw. Kids in a garage. Seek and Destroy is a must. Jump in the fire. No remorse.
Metallica when they first came out was underground band emerged with Kill Em' All so raw and untamed they slayed the audience so badazz so good !!! 🤘🔥🎸💯...
To this very day, my all-time favorite Metallica song 🤘 MollyBoy, imagine it being 1982/83 and no one had ever heard anything like "Kill em all" before. LEGENDARY
Metallica opened their concert in 2023 (at least the one I saw) with this song. The energy carried through the rest of the night...you have got to see some live performances of this (especially with Jason on vocals!)
Still scratching my head every time i hear their KEA album to think that they're just on their teenage years when it was released..what a bunch of talents destined to form a group and to share their music to the world.. inspired many and will always be legends.. 🙏 Teenagers nowadays......yeah you're right.
If you want to check out live stuff from them, give a listen to Live Shit Binge and Purge Seattle 1989. I was at that show. Freakin amazing show. I still get pumped up watching that live
Sooooo, this record came out when i was 14. It was 1983. It was a "featured artist" at a Hastings Records store. You could listen to a sample track of it MIND. FUCKING. BLOWN. This was a life changing album for me. Immediately bought it and took it home. Played the record while recording to cassette with my "jam box" (Google it. Lol) After this, i was waiting in line (skipped school) when Ride The Lightning came out. Holy shit. Few years later, I was in the Army in Colorado and won tickets on the radio to their show in Denver. Thus was "The Black Album" tour. They had a diamond shaped stage and we were "In the Snake Pit" (sitting inside the diamond. Best. Fucking. Show. EVER!! God i love this band. Lol
Old Metallica was great! I seen them in 1986 with Ozzy on the master of puppets/ ultimate sin tour, at the Worcester centrum, in Massachusetts. Cliff Burton was tragically killed on his tour bus while touring in Europe on that same tour. I did get to see him before he passed. Rip
Same. Rip 🙏 Cliff Burton taken way too early! 24 yrs old... damm young! Best Bassist I've ever heard in my entire life! And I'm 59 seen almost every band since I was 15 sneakin into clubs! 🙏 Rest in Rock Cliff ♥️🖤🎸
I saw that tour in Detroit at Pine Knob. I was 16 and a rabid Ozzy fan. Metallica blew me away and became my favorite band that day. I was eight rows away from Cliff. I was mesmerized by the way he moved to the music, it made no sense to me because his movements didn't really jive with the song at all. He was an incredible bassist. R.I.P. Cliff! James Hetfield was the man back then. All the Metalheads wanted to be him and all of the Metalhead chicks wanted to be with him. Raw power from the whole band that only youth can provide. Later Ozzy told everyone to "Fuck this place up!" and the crowd began throwing lumps of soil from the grassy area towards the stage. After a while the whole band was running around trying not to get hit by the grass chunks! I heard that Ozzy had to pay around $30,000 in damages that he got the crowd to do. Ozzy freaking loved that shit, he was laughing his ass off the whole time! What a great show and it was only my second concert. I've been a fan of the Might Met ever since, and Ozzy is my spirit animal. Nights like that don't come around often but it did lead me to go to over 300 concerts in my day. I am going to see Godsmack in April and Cannibal Corpse/Obituary and Amon Amarth in May. I don't care if I end up in a wheel chair, I won't stop seeing bands live. Being a Metalhead is the most fun life anyone can have in my book!
@barrywalker673 9 i saw Godsmack 2x they are tight and sound Amazing live the drum battles will blow you away! Yes Ozzy was hilarious live way back when 86' but Metallica was a force to be reckoned with!! It was thrashs debut, and they steam rolled all that glam hair metal to its death! Lol I remember 8th grade writing disco sucks on my folder, with Judas Priest , Sabbath, Scorpions and Iron Maiden written in metal craziness all over it! I was 14. I knew I loved rock since 5th grade listening to Led Zeppelin, great memories! ❤
At 53 now, this song was my introduction to Metallica back in '85! And metal in general, really. After their And Justice For All album, I slowly started drifting more towards Slayer. And this is why. Lol
Hit the Lights! First song on the album. The world's introduction to Metallica and thrash metal. Then listen to the Four Horsemen, the second song. It is a classic!
Hey brother, Metallica is my absolute favourite band, been listening to them since 1986, seem 11:54 them in concert and they never disappoint, don’t just get stuck on the early stuff … check out their last few albums as well… rob on bass is killer. They are still killing after all these years. Love your reactions to songs, I have requested a few and you played them and weren’t disappointed… also bro you gotta check out five finger death punch. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada

The craziest part is that they were SOOOOOO YOUNG coming up with this shit… amazing.
Madness! The fact Kirk was 15 when he wrote the Creeping Death bridge riff. Scumbags 😂

“AM I EVIL” 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

I saw them open for ozzy in April if 1996!
I got the news shortly after during lunch in my final year of high school
The word you’re looking for is “raw”
Glad somebody said it
Just my humble opinion, but old Metallica because the best Metallica !
Metallica now and then, they are just the best
@@DarkKastle13if we leave out albums like Load, Re-Load, St. Anger and Lulu then YES. Definitely.
One of the reasons I love this album is because while a little less sophisticated than their later stuff, it’s just so shreddy. Like half the album is just wild solos.
Also, definitely listen to their version of Am I Evil, and then listen to the original by Diamond Head, who was one of Metallica’s biggest influences
So excited to see The Call of Ktulu, so menacing and evil and wicked, I think you'd really love it
It would be great to see a double header, Call of Ktulu and The Thing That Should Not Be. These two tracks one after the other are amazing.

I DROPPED EVERYTHING TO LISTEN ALONG!
AWESOME!!!
Love the way you look at the camera when there’s an amazing part of a song. Your face just says Holy Fuck this is unbelievable. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Your head will pop within 20 seconds
I can remember driving around the neighborhood yelling "WHIPLASH!!!!" with all my friends in the 80's. And that "Here we go!" at 6:39 was something.
That and SEEK AND DESTROYYYY! HAHAHA
My favorite off of this album is "No Remorse", the simplicity is the beauty. If you review that song do it with the lyrics. Much more of an impact.
I think no remorse is the most underrated song on all of their albums.
I would agree. 🙂
Listened to this song every time I take off on a plane 5 years straight
This is the very 1st Metallica song I ever heard in the fall of 83...Been loving them ever since
The best live performances of kill 'em all material is Seattle 1989.
The best live performance to any song is Seattle.
And these 1986 performances are pretty energetic and fast: ruclips.net/video/zxjR-V6ZeRk/видео.html

Broooo you HAVE to react to anesthesia pulling teeth live 1983 Cliffs bass solo 🔥🔥if u haven’t yet, whiplash plays right after in the live version too
Got to do the live version of Anesthesia from Chicago 1983 🤘
I graduated high school the year this album came out and it's still my favorite Metallica album.

Kill 'Em All is probably my favorite. It's got a very raw sound and the ghost of Mustaine.
Kerry King the guitarist of Slayer has just bought out a new song called Idle Hands!! I’m sure you’ll love it
It’s a banger tbh. Mark’s vocals work well with that Slayer sound 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's amazing! I didn't even know it was Mark from Death Angel until after I heard it!
Started the Rutherford,NJ Sunday night show with this song beyond badass live!!
DISPOSABLE HEROES & FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY -------- Both are criminally underrated bro.
The thing that should not be , as well

I am going to see Godsmack in April and Cannibal Corpse/Obituary and Amon Amarth in May. I don't care if I end up in a wheel chair, I won't stop seeing bands live. Being a Metalhead is the most fun life anyone can have in my book!
@barrywalker673 9 i saw Godsmack 2x they are tight and sound Amazing live the drum battles will blow you away! Yes Ozzy was hilarious live way back when 86' but Metallica was a force to be reckoned with!! It was thrashs debut, and they steam rolled all that glam hair metal to its death! Lol I remember 8th grade writing disco sucks on my folder, with Judas Priest , Sabbath, Scorpions and Iron Maiden written in metal craziness all over it! I was 14. I knew I loved rock since 5th grade listening to Led Zeppelin, great memories! ❤

You need to watch the live Performance in San Diego 1992 to this Song
80s metal was a level on it's own
I saw them live in Amsterdam Paradiso in 1984 just a small crowd but men it was epic....
At 53 now, this song was my introduction to Metallica back in '85! And metal in general, really. After their And Justice For All album, I slowly started drifting more towards Slayer. And this is why. Lol
Yes! Thank you for the awesome reactions man! I hope it was my recommendation that made you react to this one!
Just keep going with Metallica, you won't be disappointed my friend.
I think the word you were trying to say in regards to this albums sound, would be 'RAW.'😊
Hit the Lights! First song on the album. The world's introduction to Metallica and thrash metal. Then listen to the Four Horsemen, the second song. It is a classic!
Hey brother, Metallica is my absolute favourite band, been listening to them since 1986, seem 11:54 them in concert and they never disappoint, don’t just get stuck on the early stuff … check out their last few albums as well… rob on bass is killer. They are still killing after all these years. Love your reactions to songs, I have requested a few and you played them and weren’t disappointed… also bro you gotta check out five finger death punch. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada
Don't forget about Blitzkrieg and Am I Evil both on this album, they were covers but they totally kill it
early Metallica was a piece of art,,those first 3 albums
This has always been and always will be my favorite Metallica song. Purely about head banging and nothing else. Our mantra as metalheads in the 80’s!
This album changed everything When heard this the first time when I was in high school in the 80’s I was hooked again ever since.
