In 1983 I was a black teen headbanger living in low income projects in Jackson, Mississippi. I was listening to the 3rd day of the 83US festival on the radio. As I waited for the headliner Van Halen, my favorite band, to play later that day. Before the show they played some up-and-coming metal bands. One of the bands was Metallica and the song was Ride the Lightening. I recorded it on cassette. Since then I have bought and worn-out Metallica's 2nd through 5th album about eight to ten times; from cassettes to CDs to digital. Today I'm a 59 y/o riding around blasting Battery and all my favorite 80s metal bands.
100%. Top 5 hard rock album of all time. I think Back in Black and Van Halen 1 belong there as well. Suggestions for the channel: I'm the One by Van Halen. Hells Bells by AC/DC, Albatross by Corrosion of Conformity.
Not much makes me happier than seeing some AA brothers with metal shirts on reacting to Metal and loving it. The pride i feel is immense. Metal is the black sheep of the genre family that has been ignored by most for too long. Welcome to metaldom and enjoy... Subscribed.
Battery has a multifaceted meaning in this song. There is a layer of physical battery of just knocking people down. Then there is the energy stored in a battery to move you along and then there is their personal meaning to it as a club they used to play at quite often when they were starting out was on Battery street. And there were all these hair metal bands and then there was Metallica... And the fans of these worlds didn't really like each other. Craziness happened and it probably had an energy you could feel... In a bar setting where there is not enough security and the crowd is right there at arms length... It is thrash metal 101. One of the best thrash metal songs. And screaming "battery" in their concerts has never been so beautiful...
I was a senior in high school when this came out. Had already seen Metallica live on the Ride the Lightning Tour. Been with them from the beginning being a Bay Area kid. Master Of Puppets cassette didn't come out of the deck of my '72 Nova until after I graduated. That album slams from start to finish.
The song's theme is based on the 1980s San Francisco thrash scene. Metallica played at the Old Waldorf club, which was located at 444 Battery Street in downtown San Francisco.
I was living in Soviet Union when this album came up, my friend came back from a military service from Afghanistan , he brought a ball of afghan hash with him, we smoked and he put on a tape to play it with this Metallica album on it through the speakers and oh man… I was blown away. Great memories!
I think I saw that same tour, and it completely changed my life. I lived in rural Nevada and had never seen a concert but was a total metalhead. Reno in 1989 was my first show. Hail metal.
The Beyond Magnetic EP that had 4 unreleased songs from Death Magnetic are some hidden gems. I have a particularly soft spot for Hate Train. Some nice raw Metallica. 👍
This is the opening track to the album; they start it with a nice, pretty acoustic part than smash your face for the rest of the song. Fight Fire with Fire, the opening track to the Ride the Lightning album does the same thing. If you play Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets from start to finish back to back, you will not find a bad song. Actually, you won't even find any decent songs. It's 16 masterpieces in a row!
One of the better new reaction channels out there! Would love to see you guys do something exodus like "the beatings will continue" of "war is my Sheppard" or something like that
The S & M1 version with the San Francisco Symphony orchestra, absolutely brilliant…. And then someone took that version and the Seattle 89 version and mashed em together and it’s twice as great.
I've become a huge fan of metallica !....awesome to see you guys get excited about them !.....one of my favorites that get my pulse going is their song " here comes revenge " ide love to watch you guys react !....God bless !
Saw these guys on this tour and they opened with this. The entire arena screamed "YEAH!!!" when the loudness hit. They were so tight and precise. It was an amazing performance. I don't remember the year but it was in the early 80s
Love reactions like these. Almost like hearing it for the 1st time with prospectives from new listeners. Metallica music just f*cks with your emotions.
My first time hearing this was 11 years old in the mid 90's and had never heard of thrash metal. I had only heard the Black album and Load, their two newest albums at the time. Bought this because the album cover looked cool, and also I hadn't yet heard a single song of their older stuff. Popped the cassette in, and this song completely blew me the fuck away...to say the least. I had no idea music this aggressive existed, and the whole album was a complete revelation for me. I'll never forget it.
In case you didn’t know. I believe this song is about Battery street where they played when they first started. Hell of a party I guess back then. Family remark are the bands
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Battery
1986 They open up for OZZY. and they got booed. Nobody never heard of them . Then i heard this record at a party and this is the opening track... Game Changer picked up the guitar and been ROCKIN ever since 🤘
I was 16 the first time I listened to this album in 1986 when I got the "stank face" and it stuck; then I met my future husband in 1987 who also had it from MOP and we both still have it 30 yrs later 😂 no one else wanted us w/these twisted faces 😢😊EDIT: I last saw them in 2019 and they still have it, still as good as ever, Metallica is still the best live band I've ever seen after seeing at least 250 bands over the yrs
Some of us were there when this was fresh and new, loved y'alls reaction. I hope you check out Testament, Overkill, Exodus, and Megadeth. ....If you haven't.

Battery Live SEATTLE 1989... i don't need to say anymore..Everyone on here knows what im talking about.
I was there
Blackened is another banger
🤘🏽😎
James does all the rhythm guitar while singing on every song which is insane lol
King James
I love witnessing the birtg of metalheads
I'm addicted 🤣🤣🤣
Agreed. So satisfying
I got to see Metallica on this tour when they opened for Ozzy... It was BRUTAL. 🤘
Luckyyyyy😭
I saw them in SF New Years 85/86 when they debuted lots of songs off of "Masters" before the album was released
Run through Seattle 89 live. A Metallica concert back then was unlike no other. The songs were even better live

The 1989 Seattle live version of this is insane
I was there
‘Harvester of Sorrow’ is an absolute gem, and ‘the day that never comes’ , gotta do “blackened” aswell just absolute heat
"The Thing that Should Not Be!!!" Heavy AF
The most evil sounding song of theirs.
@@yearginclarkeleper messiah imo
my favorite metallica song
Four Horsemen is some great early Galloping Metallica!🧐😉🫡
After all these yrs, this is still the greatest metal album ever.
"Power! Power!" ol' dude gets it.
Another beautiful reaction to another Metallica CLASSIC

Best Album in metal ever….and one of the best albums ever in all Music 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

Great memories!
Hell yeah! I was hoping you will tackle this one
I saw Metallica back in 89 on the Justice tour , one of the best concerts I've seen . They played for almost 4 hours 🤘🤘
I think I saw that same tour, and it completely changed my life. I lived in rural Nevada and had never seen a concert but was a total metalhead. Reno in 1989 was my first show.
Hail metal.
Seattle 89 MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sanitarium (ballad) and Dyers Eve (fastest song they play)
Faster than Damage inc? I don't think so
Dyers Eve is mandatory!
@@gary2kr1I agree.
@@gary2kr1dyers eve is 195 bpm and damage inc is around 180
@@gary2kr1also my apocalypse is actually their fastest song
when I heard this song for the first time I thought: how cool!!!! then I saw Seattle '89 live and nothing was the same as before!!! 🤘🏻🔥
POWER....y'all get it 💪💪💪💪 let's FING GOOOOOOOO
You guys will love this song!!! Starts out powerful and doesn't let up.
Enjoy! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was 15 when this album came out & a lot of young people don’t know that Metallica was the biggest underground band ever 🖤🤘🏻
The Beyond Magnetic EP that had 4 unreleased songs from Death Magnetic are some hidden gems. I have a particularly soft spot for Hate Train.
Some nice raw Metallica. 👍
Metallica Seattle 1989 Full Concert reaction please!
It is so fun watching you guys experience this. Almost brings me back to the 80's as a young teen trying to figure shit out in life.
Seattle 1989
A lovely tune about the harsh realities of abuse. While we rock the f*ck out, let's not forget the message! Peace!
This is the opening track to the album; they start it with a nice, pretty acoustic part than smash your face for the rest of the song.

You guys crack me up 😂 keep going and just have fun....
You guys are cool as fuck.
When I saw Metallica live in 2011 they played this song and they had so many fireworks going off it was crazy
You need Damage inc another banger
The pleasure y'all show is so heart warming man love seeing you guys
Blackend and Escape are really good songs
One of the better new reaction channels out there! Would love to see you guys do something exodus like "the beatings will continue" of "war is my Sheppard" or something like that
My favorite song by them before knowing what it is about.🌿🌸

Great reaction.
Opening track on Master of Puppets, this was my first Metallica song.
Gotta watch the live version, Seattle '89
Yep! This song made everyone stand up
"Galloping guitar line."
That's good shit, Son. Real good.
Bro we wilded out to this song back in day. 😅

Perfect start to this album. Easily in my top 5 songs
You should have far more subs...well done.
Awesome t-shirtz guys 🤘
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Seen this concert with Ozzy in battle Creek Michigan..rock on
I've seen them 6 times and each show was better than the one before ❤
This took me back... in 9th grade in 1986 when my best friend busted this shit on me in the parking lot before school. I was fucking FLOORED.
Similar ,but we had to sneak it , bootleg copy , and my best friend Jim and I in his dad's little garage with a little silver one speaker radio
Metallica - Am I Evil 👍
I'm sure they'd like the groove!
This entire album is fire.
You guys are the shit!! Love you loving this music I grew up with!
They were gods back then. No one has made a better thrash track than this since. This s*** stays with you too. You'll never forget it.
Cannot stop the bat-ter-ry!
FIRE !
Nice new follower fellas keep em commin
I saw Metallica live in 1984 in Amsterdam

Show respect.
Now imagine you guys on the road going 60... hearing this song... automatically pushing 90 +
Metallica bby
FAN4LIFE 🔥🤘🏽🔥
Phenomenal song. Damn.
1986 They open up for OZZY. and they got booed. Nobody never heard of them . Then i heard this record at a party and this is the opening track... Game Changer picked up the guitar and been ROCKIN ever since 🤘
The opener on Ride the Lightning (fight fire with fire) is similar. Starts of all pretty and melodic, then proceeds to melt your face off.
still dig your channel and reactions despite me bitching about you stopping it so much. y'all do a great job of cheering people up in heavy times.
You guys would really dig the S&M version. R/E would get hype!
This was my pre-game song when playing linebacker
The galloping is James, who sings and plays guitar. He's so good that you forget lars is playing drums 😹😹😹
Whiplash live Seattle 1989. Scary 😱🤘🤘
I was 16 the first time I listened to this album in 1986 when I got the "stank face" and it stuck;
then I met my future husband in 1987 who also had it from MOP and we both still have it 30 yrs later 😂 no one else wanted us w/these twisted faces 😢😊EDIT: I last saw them in 2019 and they still have it, still as good as ever, Metallica is still the best live band I've ever seen after seeing at least 250 bands over the yrs
Yall GOTTA do Blackened it’s SOOO good
Metal 🤟🤟. Y'all are in for a mf'ing TREAT. Metal as a genre is fucking incredible. I'm here for it.
This one was on my pregame football playlist back in high school. I was ready to tackle a dinosaur and run through a brick wall after listening.
Not that its all about that...but I think you dudes are gonna make alot of money on RUclips. Enjoy the journey ✊🏽.
Metallica - All nightmare long is also a good one.
