🤨 Well, that description is a bit too "snooty and highbrow" for me.... I'd prefer a simpler, more down-to-earth description that the common man can understand, like "damn sh*t sucks man". 😁👍
These guys should emerge and be like that's me in that video... lol.. Yeah, it's like there's about 15 of them there, I'm sure there are out there. Probably it's that thing were they were into it in their youth because that was the culture at the time but now they are probably just normal people working in an office with kids.
@liam watson It's possible but I suppose. This is 1986 and they look like they are in high school. So they should be about 50 now. If you had a kid at 25 and then that kid had a kid early on, I suppose you could be a grandfather at 50.. lol
I did in fact, grow up in the 80's listening to Metal....And it was as badass as you can imagine. Metallica didn't break and hit it big until One premiered as a video exclusive on MTV.
lived it as a Metalhead in the 80s, if you end up there somehow, find a house party, make sure you hear Metal and walk right in, no shit, hot knives in the kitchen, the smell of hash, not pot, playing caps, flicking bottle caps, drinking games, hot hot chicks, a couple of dickheads that could not handle their booze, alot of air guitar playing and fun fun fun..........that was it in a nutshell, oh yeah, every metal head had a mix tape of metal or the latesdt and greatest metal of that time tucked in their leather jacket or jean jacket, they ALL wanted to be DJ lol, good times
@@eazye519 i understand where you're coming from but people have different tastes in music and you should also understand that metallica fans back in the 80s grew up listening to thrash metallica and to see metallica change their sound definitely pissed them off load is a great album but it's not metallica's sound
@@RandomPerson-ui3xv oh stfu. I started listening to metallica in 1988 when I was 10. Cliff had a huge range of musical taste and something like load would have been made eventually . You're an idiot
I was born just a tad too late to really get the best of the 1980s glory days of metal. I was in high school from 1991-1995. I need that time machine that one commenter above discussed.
My go-to fashion at the time was to wear a leather jacket with studs on the sleeves, layered over that with a sleeveless denim jumper with patches from Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Destruction, etc. . Interestingly, for some reason I was wearing sweatpants and very strange basketball shoes (or something like that). It was certainly laughably lame, but back then I was 100 times more lively than I am now.
I was born in 2000 and didn't have anyone interested in Metal, so I got offically into stuff beyond Metalcore and Nu Metal in college and post but if it's something that I miss about Metal, it's the fun aspect! Euronymous tried to make Metal (with Black Metal) as unfun as possible and this genre is fucking big, and how everything became either too techy, either waay to much of a demonstration of art with mixed genres element, where tf is this fun era of Metal, I guess only in Thrash and Death can still be found... I kinda understand why lots switched to Hardcore alongside Death Metal after the 80's when Thrash already released it's most amazing stuff...
@@AMetalheadsJourney yeah attitudes were pure, now everyone harbors haw they really feel, who they are. Its fuckin sad. People felt relaxed in their own skin then. now everyone has some pretentious background about who they are.
@@lordraptor5042 Due to the internet, everybody has a voice, everybody has something to say, an opinion to share. There is a lot of cynicism. For example, if you put yourself out on YT as an artist, the first thing you get is hate.. lol. A lot of it comes from jealousy or a feeling that they are inadequate. It's the Instagram culture where you feel like your life is not good as the next person, so you start hating on someone else to feel better.
@@AMetalheadsJourney Agreed. Still its far worse than just that. The internet has revealed people to be utter cowards as well. Strong people with strong attitudes and strong talk and its all good till you see them in person. Then not a sound is to be heard. Not a fuckin peep. If you ask me life was much better without social media. Its revealed the worst in us all and has gone unchecked for far too long. If social media disappeared tomorrow i wouldn't lose sleep over it. I mean that.
These OGs know whats up, if these guys at the time knew Metallica was going to perform w/ pop/dance musicians (lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus), these fans wouldn’t bother with Metallica. Metallica wouldn’t be who they are today, if it weren’t for their genuine, beginnings. Cmon, prices at $220, I am clearly not invited, I’ll let all the stranger things fans fill Metallica’s venue instead.
