It's probably 'cause on this song James' voice has a tone more screamy and hard to fit with his current vocal range and that could be one of the reasons 'cause this song has been played only 21 times until now.
Its shocking that for 4 straight albums there wasn't a single weak song. Never again have we seen that king of dominance....truly. Not even from the band themselves.
Well, 5 if you count the black album, which I do. But yeah, I know what you mean, metallica was grabbing the entire metal scene in the palm of their hands, probably their most dominating era.
Kill 'Em All solos are gonna blow him away. The solo in Trapped Under Ice is still pretty similar to the absolute chaos Kirk gets into in the first album's solos.
I never pictured being frozen in a block of ice unable to move. I always pictured being trapped in a lake with a solid sheet of ice above me. That explains the frantic, high tension pace of the song as you try to break though to live but to no avail.
I must admit this is my fav Metallica song of all time. Been listening to it since the 80's. Yes I am that old. Just love the speed and that it took me a while to get the timing right on that "I".
This song - when the opening solo lifts off like that. Its like opening the front door to unvail a roaring blizzard blinding out the frosty night outside. There is a fantastic production to RTL that makes it for me. That nocturnal, wintery, icy feel to the album, culminating in the great Call of Ktulu, that sound like a great battle across an aurora lit frozen landscape.
right? that guitar tone too.. gorgeous! frosty, dark, bitter tone that adds so much more to the meaning of the songs. this album is pure gold and will hold up for decades to come
Happy Memorial Day ✌️A lot of us here have lost loved ones to war in one way or another, and I know a lot of Vets come here...THANK YOU for your service...to those of you who experienced veteran suicide like me, today’s a hard day but we honor them deeply...and Bless Metallica for singing for them 🤘🏼💕
This is real Metallica, when Cliff was still with us. They were young and full of energy, and they let it show. I can't wait til you get to their 1st album. Anesthesia is beyond epic

Load was weak for Metallica standards, Reload was better but still pretty weak. St Anger was a bad album. I kinda get why some people like it so much, but honestly I could never enjoy it as much as the old stuff. Death Magnetic was their redemption tho, apart from the production it was a pretty good album with some great bangers.
@@alexperez3367 load and reload really weren't lazy. They could've easily just come up with a black album 2 or just a thrash album that wouldn't be nearly as good. Instead they decided to venture into a different creative direction. Just because they arent thrash doesn't mean they're lazy
alex: is there a solo coming up? me: well yeah, it's. Metallica, they ain't inviting you over for tea and crumpets lol totally just busting your chops man lol love ya metal brother lol
I still remember this was my first Metallica song I ever hear. The album was just released and I was in high school. That time change and riff at 2:17 made me start playing guitar. Still to this day, I think this album has the most bad ass guitar distortion sound of any album ever.
just curious to if you know that it’s a cover of Anti Nowhere League? if you haven’t heard it, definitely check out the original. it’s awesome. ruclips.net/video/AH7pOUm5s9k/видео.html
I'm keep watching these reaction videos and I still consider myself lucky to have lived that time in my life where I got the cassette of the metal albums that now are iconic
This is one of the best songs on the album, I like it better than "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Escape." Watching Alex's reactions to songs I've known for decades, I get to rediscover how awesome this music is. Way ahead of its time, also very complex and intricate considering the genre LOL. Keep up the great reactions!
I am really enjoying this channel. took a few vids to get your humor down. The best part of your reactions, especially Metallica are when you laugh at the sheer mind blowing genius. That's real. I get as much enjoyment watching your reaction to those parts. it's like watching someone's mind get blown over and over. would love to feed you music for reaction.
I dont usually watch a ton of reaction videos but i'm fascinated by this song lately. The main riff is beefy and the rapid fire series of solos makes this one of the best tracks in their entire catalogue imo
I am aging myself here just a bit but when listening to the cd of Ride the Lightning I love that transition from the ballad Fade to Black to the thrashy Trapped Under Ice...just that contrast is mind-boggling.
yeah this song and escape often get overlooked because the album is just crammed full of great tracks, but it's nice to see someone recognize the greatness hidden in plain sight.
I work with people with brain damage and Can’t stress enough how important things like helmets and other protection is. I’ve seen my fair share of people being “trapped under ice”. Unfortunately. I’ve really come to like these videos. Didn’t think I would but I do 👌🏼 you seem like a good dude😊
This was the first song of theirs I ever heard. My buddy Greg said hey man come over you gotta hear these dudes. That was 1985, after Ride was released but before Master, so this was at the time the most current. I was hooked. Went to Tower Records later that same day and bought Ride the lightning and Kill em all.
Ever since I found your channel, you've reminded me of my nephew, mostly in looks. Then you said you ran track in high school, and so did he. He's a little younger than you are. He just finished his junior year at U of H. I need to show him your channel. ✌
Another known fact about this song! The fast verse riff in F# was salvaged from an old Exodus song called 'Impaler' that Kirk wrote when he was in that band. Check out the re-release of that song on the Exodus album 'Tempo of the Damned' and you can hear the same riff!
This album has, for me, two of the most underrated Metallica songs ever, which are coming up. One is Creeping Death, which has seemed to have slowly gotten more attention over the years. The second is Escape, which almost no one talks about which is a shame cause it's such a fucking great song!
Told you in the Fight fire with fire video! Underrated kick-ass song (as well as Escape).... Damn! This is my favorite Metallica song! As well as their best album!
After this album, would love to see you jump to the other end of the scale before going back to the first album, go through the Hardwired....to self destruct album, best effort since Justice, then go back to Kill em All.
The fast riff in this was actually written for Kirk's first band Exodus. Exodus did release a song called Impaler which uses this same riff. Check it out.
I had this cassette get stuck in my 74 Lemans for a whole summer. My best friend only liked country at the time. Needless to say he was a weed smoking beer slamming metal head after that summer
This reaction's goal: 10,000 likes! Can we do it?!
👍🏼
Yes ill make 500 accounts just to like ahah
Ab so fucking lutely brother

DUDE!!??? lol jk
10,000 views will be rather enough for this reaction. But the moustache was really nice.
Its a shame they didnt play this when they did the concert on Antarctica
i know right!!! Missed opportunity...
Yeah, play it to pinguins.
@@KillroyLP Can you imagine a penguin mosh pit!!! 😆😂

Yes
It's probably 'cause on this song James' voice has a tone more screamy and hard to fit with his current vocal range and that could be one of the reasons 'cause this song has been played only 21 times until now.
He's becoming one with Metallica... he can feel the solo's coming. His training is nearing completion. 🤣
Then The lack of solos on St. Anger Will hit him hard. He he.
His Metallica senses are coming to life lol
Just like a wartime novelty..
@@HanMoP i dont feel like st anger need solos.. The songs are pretty good a part from the snare ^^
He has the Metaliclorians in his blood! 🤟🤣
Till this day I can't stop listening to Metallica's Ride The Lighting

It seems most people think Master is the best album … I think Ride The Lightning is the best album.
@@buzzbomb67 for me RTL is way better than MOP
@@buzzbomb67 YES YES YES
@@abdelrahimabdelrahim4594 love me some MOP, but I agree … RTL has more of that early FIRE that they had
This album is the perfect balance between kill-em-all and master of puppets.
I agree but it’s more ELECTRIC!!!
As well as Master of Puppets is the perfect balance between Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice for All
@@realabba5190 as well as ...And Justice For All being the perfect balance between Master Of Puppets and the Black Album

death.
4 if you count the black album!
Escape weak song
@Hauntcheers I'm screwing with ya. Kill em all ain't my favorite. I prefer load!
Metallica has so many great albums, can't wait for him to react to kill em all
Hell yeah!
They should rename that album to "Listen to 'em all"
Kill 'Em All solos are gonna blow him away. The solo in Trapped Under Ice is still pretty similar to the absolute chaos Kirk gets into in the first album's solos.
@@bryansproles2879 that and The Four Horsemens solo is going to make him sh*t himself
@@duke1281 I'm thinking just those random lead breaks that Kirk goes into, like in Trapped...stuff like Hit The Lights, it's gonna melt his face off.
This is one of the most "in your fucking face" Metallica songs, musically speaking. I absolutely love it.
"The Outlaw Torn" is in my opinion the most underrated Metallica song.
and Bleeding Me
And Fixxxer... And Bleeding me... And Low man's lyric...
@@just.gajche Absolutely
@@michasocha8998 yea Bleeding Me!
Both of those albums are amazing. Load and Reload showed just how diverse they can be.
I never pictured being frozen in a block of ice unable to move. I always pictured being trapped in a lake with a solid sheet of ice above me. That explains the frantic, high tension pace of the song as you try to break though to live but to no avail.
Yeah, me too
For me, Disposable Heroes holds this title I think. Still, and incredible song.. Excited for Creeping Death
Disposable Heroes is one of their greatest songs, i don't know who it isn't one of their most played ones.
Leper Messiah. Their best overall song.
I must admit this is my fav Metallica song of all time. Been listening to it since the 80's. Yes I am that old. Just love the speed and that it took me a while to get the timing right on that "I".

The most kill em all sounding track on the album, classic!

This is the album that got me into Metallica and I never looked back 🤘⚡ and I've been on the Metallica train ever since...
What do you think about Black Metal?

Yes! One of my favorites from Dream Theater!
The beginning of that song is one of the best riffs and perfect blend of instruments ever created.
You make your Metallica reactions as long as you want! I’d never get bored with you talking up Metallica!
You should do "Peace Sells" or "So Far So Good... So What" from Megadeth after RTL.
Yes, we need that. 🤘

Curious about his thoughts of Load, Reload, and St. Anger would be....
We don’t talk about St. Anger
I hop he reacts to it. Load is amazing. Bleeding Me is one of my all time Metallica's fav.
Load was weak for Metallica standards, Reload was better but still pretty weak. St Anger was a bad album. I kinda get why some people like it so much, but honestly I could never enjoy it as much as the old stuff. Death Magnetic was their redemption tho, apart from the production it was a pretty good album with some great bangers.

Hell yes Alex!! I love that you’re reacting to THE WHOLE ALBUM!!!! Peace be with you all!
Always been one of my favorites.
Love the ‘stache!😍 And love that you have come to love Metallica as much as we do!
Very first Metallica song I ever heard back in the 80's. It was love every since.
Proof that not all young people reject older music.
I hope I get to meet you one day. You’ve opened up my world so much to what was already my favorite band for my entire life.
That verse riff is one of my favorite riffs in Metallica's catalog.
Amazing album, and I can't wait for you to do "Kill em All. That said; I'm really curious to see your reaction to Metallica's "So What". :)
Oh shit yeh. So waht so what so WHAT YOU BORING LITTLE BEEEEP

It was one of GuitarHero-songs where totally loved to "play" it. Awesome song and great reaction man
And Moustache For All
Clicked like as soon as the video started!! Love this song, one of my favorites from ride the lightning!
Since nobody else has said it yet, Low Man's Lyric, Hero of the day and Mama said are very underrated
Dyers eve and until it sleeps as wel
so right, under rated!!

Best record and one if my favorite songs
Dude, I'm reliving my teenage years watching you listen to this music. Songs I've forgotten about for years are now added to my daily grind again
100% agree!
Definitely one of my 3 favorite Metallica songs
First song I’ve heard from this album!
I can't wait for your reaction to Escape
"THAT GALLOP THOUGH".... I get it brother!
Awesome amazing reaction friend.
Ride the lightning is my favorite out of all of Metallica .. keep up the good work
Underrated song. I love it.
My 2nd favorite on Ride the lightning is this song, with creeping Death taking the #1 slot. Keep the reactions coming 'm'
I'm pumped for the call of ktulu! It's another ride you'll like Alex 🤘🤘
Now you got to go see them LIVE greatest experience ever

The riff in the middle of this song is from the Exodus song Implaler that Kirk wrote
Trapped under ice is masterpiece
Ever since I found your channel, you've reminded me of my nephew, mostly in looks. Then you said you ran track in high school, and so did he. He's a little younger than you are. He just finished his junior year at U of H. I need to show him your channel. ✌

Until it sleeps is a great song of metallica and underrated. I enjoyed the unforgiven 2 album .
this is my fav metallica album but for whom the bell tolls is my fav song ever and on the album
It starts with the music, then the posters, then the shirts, then the mustache
this n creeping death were what i heard first at 15 in 1989. always on of the best to me
goddamn that freaks me out a lil🙃😂
After this album, would love to see you jump to the other end of the scale before going back to the first album, go through the Hardwired....to self destruct album, best effort since Justice, then go back to Kill em All.
I love trapped under ice 🙌💗
I’ve listened to this song for years and for some reason it just seems like it belongs on Kill Em All
It's just a very thrashy song, along with having an intro solo, which makes it more like KEA.
The fast riff in this was actually written for Kirk's first band Exodus. Exodus did release a song called Impaler which uses this same riff. Check it out.
See the video and click on it immediately haha
My proposition for next album is, again, Dystopia by Megadeth!!
You're right!
We who know, know this is one of their best songs.
