Y'all are now ready for The Four Horsemen from this same album. It's one of their most underrated (*edit: okay, so not really underrated because most Metallica fans really love and appreciate this jam, but it’s underrated compared to Ride The Lightning or MOP) Please do it next! I promise you will not be disappointed.
James Hetfield (rhythm guitar) is the one playing all the badass guitar riffs in Metallica, he's also the singer. Kirk Hammett (lead guitar) plays all the solos. He replaced Dave Mustaine after they fired him. Hope this helps.
@@nixongasmo5114 yes, but Dave wrote most of the solos, contributed to four songs on Kill 'Em All. Two songs on Ride the Lightning. Kirk didn't bring anything until Creeping Death on Ride the Lightning.
Well, most solos. There are some songs where James plays lead guitar too (chill solo from Master of Puppets, To Live Is To Die second solo, Suicide and Redemption, etc)
The lead singer of MegaDeth Dave Mustaine was the original Lead Guitarist for Metallica in their early days but he got kicked out of the band. Then they replaced him with Kirk Hammett. The bassist has changed several times throughout the years but Cliff Burton was the original but he tragically was killed in a bus accident in Sweden. After Cliff was Jason Newstead and then Robert Trujillo.
I've listened to Metallica my entire near 29 years of life and man, I've definitely taken these songs for granted because I've heard them so much. Seeing your reactions to them give them new life for me, seeing them from your perspectives. You guys are a lot of fun, keep it up! Please do Spit out the Bone, a newer Metallica song. Kicks ass 🔥🔥
This is the music you listen to when throwin that Iron around. This is the song in my headphones the first time I pressed 4 plates. Y’all struck gold discovering this band
Back in the day none of these songs were played on the radio, it was pretty much underground, cassette tapes mailed around the country. They still only play a select few on the radio to this day, you have to listen to the whole albums to hear the rest of the great songs they made. 🤘🏻
This is the unfortunate truth. For so long, Radio, and later channels like MTV dictated what people were exposed to, and what those stations play largely depended on advertisement, sponsorship, and money flowing from larger record labels. That's why genres like pop, which are actually fairly terrible, is so much more common.
That’s still true to this day. I was at a restaurant earlier and they were playing One, which was strange because that was the first time I heard Metallica played in a public place like that
They were around 19 when they made this album, James Hetfield - vocals/rythm guitar Lars Ulrich - drums Kirk Hammet - Lead guitar Cliff Burton - Bass (he died in 86 while on tour in Europe) was replaced by Jason Newstead/ 20 yrs later Robert Trujillo replaced Newstead (Robert T played bass for Ozzy previously, and before that was in a punk band named Suicidal Tendencies) If you watch ST's You Can't Bring Me Down(official video) you will see Trujillo when he's about 19, playing bass, and Rocky George a kick-ass guitar player
These guys gotta see some current live vids. If they can grasp the concept that these guys (Metallica) are close to 60 years of age, they'd shit their pants.
Wait but i thought dave mustaine was on this album before he got kicked out, even wrote parts of master of puppets album if i remember right but i could be wrong
@@kesslerlopez4254 Sorry if u got to translate this man! Mustaine fue parte de la primera alineación sólida de Metallica (antes tuvieron otros músicos por breves períodos). Lo echaron en el '82, pero antes de eso llegaron a tocar composiciones de Mustaine. Cuando echaron a Dave, él pidió que no usaran sus composiciones, Metallica no le hizo caso y las usaron de igual manera. Es por eso que gran parte del primer disco, Kill Em All, tiene composiciones de Dave. Incluso hay muchos riffs que no usaron en ese momento pero sí en el futuro (un claro ejemplo es Call of Ktulu de su segundo álbum, que utiliza los mismos acordes/arpegios que Hangar 18 de Megadeth, ambas compuestas por Mustaine). Otros ejemplos son Ride The Lightning, Lepper Messiah (de Master of Puppets), etc.
Also, a GREAT example for this is the iconic The Four Horsemen from Metallica. Before Mustaine was kicked out, the song was The Mechanix. On the first Megadeth record, they play the original song, but a lot faster.
I freaking love it to see people that have not heard METAL music, and groove to it... You guys are killer and love the reaction to listening to music outside the norm that we found ourselves in... Music is a vibe, it is energy both positive and negative you just have to be willing to let it flow. Keep up the journey gentlemen.
As a kid from San Francisco I always knew Metallica because of how popular they are but this was the song that got me into them when I was little. I grew up with listening to Linkin park and Green Day when I was really young because of my parents so this was right down my alley. They have remained one of my favorite bands since then.
@@terilynnelincoln3247 yeah yeah. You are talking about the first one right, in the 90s? I had the opportunity to go to the latest symphony and Metallica one but I ended up taking too long and either the tickets ended up being to expensive or a lot sold out
@@slattatass2707 that’s awesome to hear that someone else grew up with the same two bands. I wasn’t alive when hybrid theory came out but I was born the year American idiot came out. I used to hum to American idiot and holiday because I couldn’t talk😂 I also grew up listening to AFI because of my mom. Now that I’m 18 my taste in music has gotten heavier😂
This was my mother’s favorite Metallica song! Mind you, I am 47. My mother loved them! It was extremely uncommon for parents to like the same music as their kids back in the 80’s. But, my mom would blast Metallica going down the road. It was awesome! You guys are great! Disposable Heros is the my favorite.
I remember getting to a certain age realizing it was ok to like rap hip hop and metal, get that variety. Took me a while, these guys are WAAAAY ahead of things and where I was. They all have a good ear for music. Hope you're liking the stuff you've been listing to also!
@@JerDCBear ohh truss fam, man's a fully fledged eclectic by now 💀 it all depends on the mood and the vibration you're connecting to at the moment.

This album was own of my favorites growing up! I'm old so I came up with these dudes in the 80's! glad yall peeping some early thrash. so many good songs and bands to explore
Kirk Hammett plays lead guitar, he's the one that does 99% of all Metallica solos. Hetfield is the rhythm guitar player, and he's laying down those nasty chugging guitar riffs. Love the reactions
Hetfield actually does a fair amount of solos. Kirk does all the face melting solos, Hetfields are more melodic like the Mast of Puppets slow section solo and the Nothing Else Matters solo
@@tkmsupreme7046 from what I understand he wrote most of the guitar parts but was fired and replaced days before they started recording the album. He has writing credits on all the songs on their first album and a few other song throughout their discography.
You guys are awesome . Seeing y'all getting into the song gave me a flash back of me and my friends in the 80s jamming to Metallica and I was head banging with y'all. ROCK ON!!!!!
As a fan of Metallica since the late 80s I LOVE seeing young fellas like yourselves digging on them so hard... My all time favorite song by them is Orion off the Master of Puppets album... it is one of the greatest instrumentals of all time... I especially think Brandon(the brother in the grey and red, sorry if thats not your name, still new to yall) will love it too as he has stated that he loves when they build a song up bring it back down and build again...
Brandon is my favorite, lol. Dude has such great insight into everything they watch and listen to. You can tell he has knowledge on myriad of subjects and is continually expanding his horizon and mind. Kid is going to go places life.
Love how you guys genuinely get in to the music. So good to see younger people react and get in to music I did growing up that was shown to me. Great reaction! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Well YT pays them quite well in ad revenue, so they are not doing this for free. Plus, they are pushing their clothing line as well. They are doing these reaction videos for $$$
Does RUclips also pay the guy up the front on the right to listen to Metallica at the gym? He's mentioned that a few times. People like what they like and sometimes it's new to them. Funny that, right?
What's great is this is from the first album. They were killing it right out of the gate. And Dave Mustaine from Megadeth helped them write the music. If u like this u will love Metallica's song Damage Inc .
@@jameshausmann6786 Not Just Drunk Dave was a huge Speed Freak...He didn't just help write the music he was a founding member of Metallica...✌️Keep Thrashing!!!
@@hypknowthismofo4604 yea i like some megadeath music but i didnt like how he fit with metallica from kill em all to ride the lightning you can easily see with his influence and without.i liked kill em all but it has to be my least favorite before the load era.but i did also like load and reload.
Been listening to Metallica for 25 years now and I still want to smash through walls every time I hear em. Glad you guys discovered this legendary band.
They wanted to name this album "Metal Up Your A$s" but the record label company wouldn't let them so they said "Kill Them All". That's what Hetfield said live in a part on the old VHS tape called "Cliff Them All".
They were teenagers when they made this, unreal how this album still feels so fresh. Its cool that they sped up the timing of this for concerts, makes it better by far
I’m 51. I was in 7th grade when this album came out. Same album as this song, jump in the fire is one of my favorite songs. Fun fact - Dave Mustaine of Megadeath was Metallica’s original guitarist. He was a mean drunk when he was young and was fired from the band, replaced by the current Kirk Hammett. The Seek and destroy riff was written by Dave Mustaine. Kirk Hammet is the lead guitarist. James Hetfield is the rhythm guitarist. The original bassist, the one on the first 3 albums through Master of Puppets, was Cliff Burton. He died on tour in Sweden when their bus flipped over on black ice in 1986. He was replaced by Jason Newsted who was with them through the St Anger album. Robert Trujillo took over as their bassist in 2003. He used to play for Suicidal Tendencies in the ‘80’s. 🤘
James wrote seek and destoy along with whiplash, no remorse, hit the lights and Motorbreath. Dave helped write four horsemen, phantom lord and metal militia and wrote jump in the fire
Can I just say thank you guys for actually listening and respecting this. If you guys look at the lyrics it's literally hard as the rap. You should do "And Justice For All".
I’m old enough to remember when WCW was a thing and this was the wrestler Sting’s entrance music. It was pretty awesome to hear in an arena with the crowd going nuts and this guy who looked like the actor from the movie The Crow would come down from the rafters. When wrestling was awesome.
I love that you all are receptive of different genres of music. Especially metal! I loved watching you jam out and kinda headbang to this. R.I.P. Cliff
I've been a metallica fan since the 80s.They are my favorite band.The fact that your now fans and are enjoying them is awesome .I absolutely love your reactions.Welcome to the Metallica family❤️🤘
The title for this album was originally meant to be, "Metal Up Your Ass". No one would produce it. Kill 'Em All refers to all the brass in the industry. This album was released without singles. They did not have an album that included a "single" till Justice (...And Justice For All). Which was the album that was the beginning of the end for the respect their original fan base had for them.
it’s amazing to see you guys look at all of this 80’s and 90’s heavy metal with an open mind. you guys should definitely check out Pantera’s “Domination”, or “I’m Broken” sometime
As a kid who grew up with Metallica in the 80s i never saw the legend status everyone gives them. Im a Motorhead/Suicidal Tendencies type guy. I saw Pantera in like 1992 and it was epic. The intensity level was stratospheric! About 20 seconds of 'Respect, Walk' would change your top 3 right quick. 'Primal Concrete Sledge' will intensify any workout program. After that you will be ready for the next level.
I use to listen to this before every baseball game in college and get fired up. There is nothing like Metallica to get you fired up before the gym or a game. Your guys channel is 🔥
Metallica was founded in 1981 solely by James and Lars. Dave joined in 1982 after James and Lars had written 3 songs. Dave helped write 4 songs for kill em all and James wrote 5 songs for kill me all. Dave was fired before they recorded kill em all - he never played on an album. Dave created Megadeth possibly the only band that could really rival Metallica. Dave and megadeth are great but you'll find people overexaggerate his contribution and history with Metallica
Bad ass album, nothing but bangers! The Four Horsemen!! Also "Harvester Of Sorrow" from And Justice For All! Fellas my wife goes to dialysis three days a week. I sit in the parking lot nearly 5 hrs waiting on her. Y'all keep my day moving with your reactions. Do what y'all do because there is a ton of music out there yet to be discovered. Much love to each of y'all.
Now you have to watch the live version of this song from their concert in Seatle 1989! Or just watch that entire concert. Greatest concert of all time.
Some history on this song/album, Dave Mustane was the original lead guitarist of Metallica before he got kicked out for severe alcoholism. He went on to start Megadeth and killed it, and also wrote all the original guitar solos for this whole Album “Kill ‘em All” before he left the band. Kirk Hammett took his place as lead guitarist of Metallica and put his own little spin on each solo. James Hetfield the lead singer is also the rhythm guitarist creating the riffs. James and Lars (drummer) are the masterminds
This album was the first ever metal band i heard. I was 10 on 83. I went to my cousin and he told me Hey listen to that. I was stuck. Hit the lights blew my mind and since i am a metal head. I am french and here in France it was all new. And after this beautiful day i was looking for others bands. And naturally fell in love with Maiden, Judas Priest, Accept, Def Leppard, Dio etc etc
@@metalhead7840 The song that hooked me was "Am I Evil." I heard it at a party, and asked the dude who was throwing the party who it was. I went out and bought the 12" "Creeping Death , Am I Evil?, Blitzkrieg" the next day. That 12" now hangs in my bar room in a frame. I'll never sell it.
“…And Justice For All” is my favorite Metallica song but it took me awhile to even like it. At first it felt like a chore to listen to but eventually I had an epiphany and realized it’s amazing.
I’d like to see you guys react to “The Call Of Ktulu” played live with the San Francisco symphony. It’s an instrumental that will blow your mind. Make sure you watch the live version.
Metallica and gym go hand in hand. So does smoking some grass about to surf some huge waves. So does getting drunk and wanting to fight. This band sets the mood
Loving your reactions. If you ever get the chance go to a metal concert. This live is so much better. Imagine thousands reacting with banging heads with fists raised in the air. I've seen Metallica twice along with many other bands but seeing it live is something special Go to a concert and you'll be hooked
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, especially to Metal! Thank You so much... I've been listening to these fellas since they started really! I love their music... but its a deep hole! Don't stop workout some instrumentals... call of Ktulu, Orion, to live is to die, (anesthesia) Pulling Teeth... BUT NO RANKING OF METAL BANDS SHALL EVER BE DISCUSSED WITHOUT THE MENTION OF PANTERA! R.I.P. DIME R.I.P. VINNIE R.I.P. CLIFF
You might also like: King's X - Doug Pinnick is amazing and "Over my Head" is a classic. Sepultura - Derrick Green is FIRE on the mic now, just watch any 2022 live performance. Alice in Chains now has William Duval up front and fitting in like he was always there. Check out "Slam City" by Suicidal Tendencies. And do NOT miss "Without Water" by Candiria.
You guys have experienced the adrenaline rush some music and metal especially can give you. Love it! Hearing @BrvndonRhone always mentioning Randy Rhodes is not lost on me. I see you man.
Awesome song. This was Metallica's 1st album. As you keep going you will realize that each album has its own distinct sound. Next you should check out Ride the Lightng.
@@loganbellini8094 Me too, but I do not want to start some sort of debate between Metallica fans and Megadeth’s which is why I said the riff were partially written.
Hey. New subscriber. I love seeing you guys in college and experiencing this stuff for the first time. I was dying when one of you said we had to reply in MLA format. I use APA though. 😂 Been a fan of rock and metal for almost 40 years. Dave Mustaine from Megadeth was originally in Metallica and shares songwriting credits for several songs on Kill ‘Em All and Ride the Lightning. He was kicked out for being a jerk alcoholic. The silver lining is that he went and created Megadeth. Lars and James then went and recruited lead guitarist Kirk Hammett from the Band, Exodus, which you should totally check out. Old school thrash metal at its finest. They (and this is critical) also recruited bassist Cliff Burton. That is the the core, classic lineup. This lasted through the album, Master of Puppets. Sadly, Cliff was killed in a bus accident on the tour. The band then got Jason Newsted from the band Flotsam and Jetsam to play bass for many years. He eventually left and was replaced by Rob Trujillo, the current bass player. Metallica are unquestionably masters of their art, but they’re not flawless. After the …And Justice for All album, they released the “Black” album. It was their most commercially successful album, but there is still division among fans regarding whether or not the band sold out. After that, they got weird and released some albums that are generally considered to be inferior: Load, Reload and St. Anger. Those are, at the very least, disappointing after hearing the good stuff. James went and took singing lessons and changed his vocal style after the Black Album. Eventually, they found their footing again with the album Death Magnetic. The newest album, Hardwired to Self Destruct is also pretty good and shows influences from throughout their career. You can’t go wrong listening to these earlier albums. Just be wary of the newer ones. Try the songs Fuel, My Apocalypse, Atlas Rise and Spit Out the Bone for some of the decent newer songs. Hope this helps. Rock on!
Metal Up Your Ass!! Happy you guys found and love Metallica. Really great music! I suggest you guys really get into this. Will not regret it. Couple suggestions on what you might like Battery, Damage Inc, Disposable Heroes, and Shortest Straw
For this 1983 album until 1986 the line up was Kirk Hammet (lead guitar), James Hetfield (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Cliff Burton (Bass). Rest In Peace Cliff who passed in 1986 when the band got in a bus accident.
The crazy thing about this album is they were all about 19-20 yrs old. Unbelievable talent at so young an age to write full songs like this.
yeah man, you can def hear it in the strength of James' voice. super raw
I didn't look it up...but wasn't Lars 17 or something?
He was 19. Born dec 1963. Album came out July of 1983
@@traviscrockett3640 Right on duder! thanks
Ik Dave is crazy good at his writing
Y'all are now ready for The Four Horsemen from this same album. It's one of their most underrated (*edit: okay, so not really underrated because most Metallica fans really love and appreciate this jam, but it’s underrated compared to Ride The Lightning or MOP) Please do it next! I promise you will not be disappointed.
Yes 4 horsemen is the straight gospel
Listen to that on full Max and just grind your gears down to the metal
They need to do Anesthesia(pulling teeth) as well
aka mechanix off megadeth's killing is my business and business is good

When these 5 guys all started headbanging at the start of this song was epic. And the man playing fire extinguisher is a legend

What's great is this is from the first album. They were killing it right out of the gate. And Dave Mustaine from Megadeth helped them write the music. If u like this u will love Metallica's song Damage Inc .
Dave mustane was their original lead gutiarist he was fired for acting to crazy when drunk
A Metallica tribute out here in So Cal, the band name is Damage Inc. #1 Metallica tribute!
@@jameshausmann6786 Not Just Drunk Dave was a huge Speed Freak...He didn't just help write the music he was a founding member of Metallica...✌️Keep Thrashing!!!
@@hypknowthismofo4604 yea i like some megadeath music but i didnt like how he fit with metallica from kill em all to ride the lightning you can easily see with his influence and without.i liked kill em all but it has to be my least favorite before the load era.but i did also like load and reload.
Been listening to Metallica for 25 years now and I still want to smash through walls every time I hear em. Glad you guys discovered this legendary band.
For a good listen at anytime, I would say you're right, Metallica is #1. But if you tryna get real pumped Megadeth's whole catalog is 🔥
Nah ozzy will be number 1
@@Crash.7434This is the way.
They wanted to name this album "Metal Up Your A$s" but the record label company wouldn't let them so they said "Kill Them All". That's what Hetfield said live in a part on the old VHS tape called "Cliff Them All".
Yeah, that Metal up your Ass t-shirt with the hand holding a knife out of a toilet got me in a world of trouble back in 7th grade. 😄
@@brandontaylor3252 i had the same t shirt back in the day
They were teenagers when they made this, unreal how this album still feels so fresh. Its cool that they sped up the timing of this for concerts, makes it better by far
I’m 51. I was in 7th grade when this album came out. Same album as this song, jump in the fire is one of my favorite songs. Fun fact - Dave Mustaine of Megadeath was Metallica’s original guitarist. He was a mean drunk when he was young and was fired from the band, replaced by the current Kirk Hammett.
The Seek and destroy riff was written by Dave Mustaine. Kirk Hammet is the lead guitarist. James Hetfield is the rhythm guitarist. The original bassist, the one on the first 3 albums through Master of Puppets, was Cliff Burton. He died on tour in Sweden when their bus flipped over on black ice in 1986. He was replaced by Jason Newsted who was with them through the St Anger album. Robert Trujillo took over as their bassist in 2003. He used to play for Suicidal Tendencies in the ‘80’s. 🤘
Robert was also with Ozzy for a bit
James wrote seek and destoy along with whiplash, no remorse, hit the lights and Motorbreath.
Dave helped write four horsemen, phantom lord and metal militia and wrote jump in the fire
@@imagereflection4826 Dave wrote the solo. That is confirmed
@@farkas480 Yea he definitely wrote the basis of it although Kirk changed it a bit but the song itself all the riffs in it etc are James
Can I just say thank you guys for actually listening and respecting this. If you guys look at the lyrics it's literally hard as the rap. You should do "And Justice For All".
Again. Just imagine growing up with this as it came out. Brutal is all I can say. 🤘
Gotta remember too, this was guys in their early 20s making masterpieces like this. Theyre the GOATS for sure
I’m old enough to remember when WCW was a thing and this was the wrestler Sting’s entrance music. It was pretty awesome to hear in an arena with the crowd going nuts and this guy who looked like the actor from the movie The Crow would come down from the rafters. When wrestling was awesome.
Sting should’ve won clean vs Hogan at Starrcade 97’, and he should’ve beat Triple H at Wrestlemania…. Smh
That’s where I first learned of this song.
@@Salisboury politics. Hogan was Hogan, and the WWE wasn’t letting their heir to the throne lose to the top guy in their former competition.
I love the fact you guys are always figuring out what the songs are about. 🤘😤🤘
The first Metallica song I ever heard back in the 80s and to this day one of my favorites. It’s great live too. Requires audience participation. ❤
I love that you all are receptive of different genres of music. Especially metal!
I loved watching you jam out and kinda headbang to this.
R.I.P. Cliff
Ok y'all wore me down - I am subbed. These Metallica reactions are gold!
So glad you did this one. One of my favorite Metallica songs!
The guitarist is Kirk Hammet but the guitar parts were written by former Metallica and current Megadeth guitarist Dave mustaine.
"No Leaf Clover" Metallica, live version with the symphony!! Fantastic!!! S&M........ symphony and Metallica :)
Great songs stand the test of time and always finds new listeners. Awesome video. Shout out from Sweden!
y'all are damn entertaining! I love watching your channel. puts me in a good mood.
I've been a metallica fan since the 80s.They are my favorite band.The fact that your now fans and are enjoying them is awesome .I absolutely love your reactions.Welcome to the Metallica family❤️🤘
This here is the first song I learned on guitar and what got me to dive into their discography. Soon enough discovered they’re the GOATS
Metallica is truly one of the greatest bands of ALL TIME!!!!! The guys shred, LIVING LEGENDS!!!!!!
The title for this album was originally meant to be, "Metal Up Your Ass". No one would produce it. Kill 'Em All refers to all the brass in the industry. This album was released without singles. They did not have an album that included a "single" till Justice (...And Justice For All). Which was the album that was the beginning of the end for the respect their original fan base had for them.
I LOVE watching you guys react to the music I grew up listening to.. Welcome to my world!!
Right now I would LOVE nothing more than see you guys go to a Metallica concert! You would love it
it’s amazing to see you guys look at all of this 80’s and 90’s heavy metal with an open mind. you guys should definitely check out Pantera’s “Domination”, or “I’m Broken” sometime
As a kid who grew up with Metallica in the 80s i never saw the legend status everyone gives them. Im a Motorhead/Suicidal Tendencies type guy. I saw Pantera in like 1992 and it was epic. The intensity level was stratospheric! About 20 seconds of 'Respect, Walk' would change your top 3 right quick. 'Primal Concrete Sledge' will intensify any workout program. After that you will be ready for the next level.
Wow these dudes are really reserching the info of each songs. Well done!
Love you guys. Really appreciate the way you all break it down.
Very fun!
Guys, this reaction is priceless ♥️ It's great to see new fans react to Metallica. I grew up listening to their music. Never a bad song, ever!!
Fuel is also next level🏎
I've watched and liked a few of these; you're finally getting to the early shiz. Yes!
I use to listen to this before every baseball game in college and get fired up. There is nothing like Metallica to get you fired up before the gym or a game. Your guys channel is 🔥
Metallica was founded in 1981 solely by James and Lars.
Dave joined in 1982 after James and Lars had written 3 songs.
Dave helped write 4 songs for kill em all and James wrote 5 songs for kill me all.
Dave was fired before they recorded kill em all - he never played on an album.
Dave created Megadeth possibly the only band that could really rival Metallica.
Dave and megadeth are great but you'll find people overexaggerate his contribution and history with Metallica
Bad ass album, nothing but bangers! The Four Horsemen!! Also "Harvester Of Sorrow" from And Justice For All! Fellas my wife goes to dialysis three days a week. I sit in the parking lot nearly 5 hrs waiting on her. Y'all keep my day moving with your reactions. Do what y'all do because there is a ton of music out there yet to be discovered. Much love to each of y'all.
Now you have to watch the live version of this song from their concert in Seatle 1989! Or just watch that entire concert. Greatest concert of all time.
Some history on this song/album, Dave Mustane was the original lead guitarist of Metallica before he got kicked out for severe alcoholism. He went on to start Megadeth and killed it, and also wrote all the original guitar solos for this whole Album “Kill ‘em All” before he left the band. Kirk Hammett took his place as lead guitarist of Metallica and put his own little spin on each solo. James Hetfield the lead singer is also the rhythm guitarist creating the riffs. James and Lars (drummer) are the masterminds
Watch Battery live in Seattle 89. Top tier Metallica. That whole show is a monster.
I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone air guitar a fire extinguisher before😂🤟🏻
I absolutely love your reactions to Metallica. Im a drummer, and it’s the most fun song to play.
This is the song that locked me in to them. Imagine I'm a teenager and someone put this song on for me to hear, been a fan ever since.
This album was the first ever metal band i heard. I was 10 on 83. I went to my cousin and he told me Hey listen to that. I was stuck. Hit the lights blew my mind and since i am a metal head. I am french and here in France it was all new. And after this beautiful day i was looking for others bands. And naturally fell in love with Maiden, Judas Priest, Accept, Def Leppard, Dio etc etc
@@metalhead7840 The song that hooked me was "Am I Evil." I heard it at a party, and asked the dude who was throwing the party who it was.
I went out and bought the 12" "Creeping Death , Am I Evil?, Blitzkrieg" the next day.
That 12" now hangs in my bar room in a frame. I'll never sell it.
“…And Justice For All” is my favorite Metallica song but it took me awhile to even like it. At first it felt like a chore to listen to but eventually I had an epiphany and realized it’s amazing.
I feel u on that fr, but one day it clicked so good
That's my favorite song too! Along with blackened. They are very good.
Shouldn't have
Their best, most enduring, most relevant album
All Time Favourite. It's not the best out there. But it's my favourite Album. All time.
Love that song and album. The change ups in that song is nuts, almost progressive.
When this started in the last reaction I was hoping and praying they’d listen to this. I saw them live in Vancouver Canada. Awesome reaction!
I’d like to see you guys react to “The Call Of Ktulu” played live with the San Francisco symphony. It’s an instrumental that will blow your mind. Make sure you watch the live version.
Metallica and gym go hand in hand. So does smoking some grass about to surf some huge waves. So does getting drunk and wanting to fight. This band sets the mood
Loving your reactions. If you ever get the chance go to a metal concert. This live is so much better. Imagine thousands reacting with banging heads with fists raised in the air. I've seen Metallica twice along with many other bands but seeing it live is something special
Go to a concert and you'll be hooked
Love y’all’s reactions
Love it! You guys have become real metal heads now... headbanging and everything!
Y’all need to do Sad But True. That groove hits hard.
Some say it’s the heaviest song off all time since multiple guitars had to be tuned down and slot of other stuff, isint that crazy
May I suggest Orion!?!? It's an instrumental and I don't think any Metallica fan would disagree that it's a banger.
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, especially to Metal! Thank You so much... I've been listening to these fellas since they started really! I love their music... but its a deep hole! Don't stop workout some instrumentals... call of Ktulu, Orion, to live is to die, (anesthesia) Pulling Teeth...
BUT NO RANKING OF METAL BANDS SHALL EVER BE DISCUSSED WITHOUT THE MENTION OF PANTERA!
R.I.P. DIME R.I.P. VINNIE R.I.P. CLIFF
you guys always have the best and most genuine reactions. stay real bros.
Sanitarium by Metallica!
This album was originally called metal up your ass before being changed to kill em all 🤘
You guys are killin me. Awesome stuff man.
I love these so much. You guys get it! I love to see new Metallica fans!
I request you guys do "Harvester of Sorrow" off of the "And Justice for All" album next. That one always gets overlooked.
You might also like: King's X - Doug Pinnick is amazing and "Over my Head" is a classic. Sepultura - Derrick Green is FIRE on the mic now, just watch any 2022 live performance. Alice in Chains now has William Duval up front and fitting in like he was always there. Check out "Slam City" by Suicidal Tendencies. And do NOT miss "Without Water" by Candiria.
Watching you all jam out brought a huge smile to my grumpy face 😊
You guys have experienced the adrenaline rush some music and metal especially can give you. Love it! Hearing @BrvndonRhone always mentioning Randy Rhodes is not lost on me. I see you man.
Great song!!!i love when yall react to metallica!!!
Awesome song. This was Metallica's 1st album. As you keep going you will realize that each album has its own distinct sound. Next you should check out Ride the Lightng.
One of Kirks best Solos in this. One of their best songs. Masterpiece.
This is very quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel
Dude that's some kickass headbanging
Which you could go back in time
And see them pro-form live
Maybe try;
The Four Horsemen ...off this same album.
I love the footwork on the bass drum from when my band used to cover this song.
Please “Hit the lights” next.
These songs were partially written by the lead guitarist of Megadeth (Dave Mustaine) when he was a member of Metallica.
i’m pretty sure most of the riffs on this album are daves
@@loganbellini8094 Me too, but I do not want to start some sort of debate between Metallica fans and Megadeth’s which is why I said the riff were partially written.
@@loganbellini8094 Most of them aren't Dave's, he helped to write 4 songs
@@Salisboury Hit the lights was written before Dave joined
Hey. New subscriber. I love seeing you guys in college and experiencing this stuff for the first time. I was dying when one of you said we had to reply in MLA format. I use APA though. 😂 Been a fan of rock and metal for almost 40 years.
Dave Mustaine from Megadeth was originally in Metallica and shares songwriting credits for several songs on Kill ‘Em All and Ride the Lightning. He was kicked out for being a jerk alcoholic. The silver lining is that he went and created Megadeth.
Lars and James then went and recruited lead guitarist Kirk Hammett from the Band, Exodus, which you should totally check out. Old school thrash metal at its finest. They (and this is critical) also recruited bassist Cliff Burton. That is the the core, classic lineup. This lasted through the album, Master of Puppets. Sadly, Cliff was killed in a bus accident on the tour. The band then got Jason Newsted from the band Flotsam and Jetsam to play bass for many years. He eventually left and was replaced by Rob Trujillo, the current bass player.
Metallica are unquestionably masters of their art, but they’re not flawless. After the …And Justice for All album, they released the “Black” album. It was their most commercially successful album, but there is still division among fans regarding whether or not the band sold out.
After that, they got weird and released some albums that are generally considered to be inferior: Load, Reload and St. Anger. Those are, at the very least, disappointing after hearing the good stuff. James went and took singing lessons and changed his vocal style after the Black Album. Eventually, they found their footing again with the album Death Magnetic. The newest album, Hardwired to Self Destruct is also pretty good and shows influences from throughout their career.
You can’t go wrong listening to these earlier albums. Just be wary of the newer ones. Try the songs Fuel, My Apocalypse, Atlas Rise and Spit Out the Bone for some of the decent newer songs.
Hope this helps. Rock on!
Good suggestions, much love my brother.
Went to Metallica in George, Washington back in the early 90's. Had a picnic while they played. No one dying at Metallica concerts out here.
You gotta check out The Four Horsemen by them next. Unbelievable!
I would love to watch them watch it
One of Metallica's major influences was Motorhead, if you feel like going further back into their past.
Motorhead and Misfits
Great fun! I always listen this before going out out. Thanks for the video! xxxx
Metal Up Your Ass!! Happy you guys found and love Metallica. Really great music! I suggest you guys really get into this. Will not regret it. Couple suggestions on what you might like Battery, Damage Inc, Disposable Heroes, and Shortest Straw
This album changed the landscape of heavy metal music in 1983, their first album and still their best, total gamechanger
Nah ride the lightning is way better, but KEA is sick too
For this 1983 album until 1986 the line up was Kirk Hammet (lead guitar), James Hetfield (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Cliff Burton (Bass). Rest In Peace Cliff who passed in 1986 when the band got in a bus accident.
Kirk didn’t join til ‘84 with Ride the lightning. Dave Mustaine was the original lead guitarist.
@@thecommersh2549 Dave was kicked out right before they started recording KeA, Kirk recorded what Dave wrote
