I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 13 and the radio came on with this. That Christmas my sister bought me my favorite Metallica album to date. Ride the lightning!
Metallica is one of the reasons metal heads from the 80s are so well adjusted as adults. We had an outlet for our emotions, the entire range of them. Especially the anger you can have as a teen/young adult.
Love seeing a younger generation being exposed to (and enjoying) Metallica, Randy Rhodes (Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist), and Jimi Hendrix! Long live rock and metal! Metallica is my G.O.A.T but I can't argue with Rhodes as a guitarist or Hendrix as a guitarist and writer!
Metallica is an iconic metal band because they are way more than just head-banging, crushing riffs and shredding guitar solos producing metalheads. They are truly musicians who's range and scope of composition, musicality and songwriting is profound. You must check out some of their instrumental songs, such as, Orion, Call of Ktulu, and particularly, To Live is to Die. These songs will make you see them in a whole new light, and surely expand your appreciation them.
As a 55 year old man who has listened to Metallica from the start and still does. It’s cool to see the younger generation getting into them. I’m telling you guys that if the come to an area near you please go see them live . I’ve seen them four times over the years and three years ago was the last time. They still tour and are as good now as ever before. So go see them !!
I don’t know thanks man I’m not going to go see Metallica play all that silly whatever it is they do wrong I love heavy duty rock ‘n’ roll, but Metallica was it because it’s like 1988 give me a break
I just said I can’t imagine anybody going to see Metallica floor times and having to put up a James Hetfield going yeah yeah yeah good curry I slit my wrist before I did that
Listening to another Siri listening to another time. These guys play ride the lightning or anything vibe is just would be the most boring thing I can possibly imagine. Oh my God you must be easily entertain. You have to go see these guys for July. I am slapping my knees man hilarious.
And I love how you tell everybody how old you are like anybody could care less.… And then you admit to go and see Metallica four times. One of the most boring rock ‘n’ roll bands still thinking they are rocky.… This band is a flipping Trainwreck.
Watching these four gentlemen trying to recount some type of understanding about this music is nowadays completely pitiful. Good God these poor guys this music is so over and so so overrated now it did not age. Well I’m sorry what joke
To me this is brothers showing the way how to understand each other. I hope there is metal heads out there reflecting over black (or any) culture too the same way.
The fact that you said you don’t need any lyrics, you could jam out to the guitar riffs made me so happy. You have to hear the song the call of Ktulu and to live is to die. Some of the best guitar riffs ever recorde by Metallica
@@jav6390 Don't go around saying something so awful. What happened was tragic and shouldn't have happened to any of them. One should not speak so callously about tragedy, much less wish it to have happened upon someone else. Disgusting behavior.
@@jav6390 that's a fucked up thing to say.. you might prefer cliff as a person but wishing death on lars is disgusting. it shouldn't have been anyone in that situation
Metallica is one of those few bands who have been not only relevant and still selling out arenas since the 80s but has had massive hits in every decade since. They are actively working on new music still.
@@dizubstylee7993 it’s just nowhere near their old stuff but it’s still great music, better than most modern stuff quite honestly (talking about metal only even).
Metallica just celebrated their 41st year of being in rock and metal music! They r without a doubt the greatest metal band to ever grace us with their music! Glad u r listening and giving them a chance cuz every song is a masterpiece and has a deep meaning!
It's hard to imagine it's been that long. I am an older metalhead (46), and I was too young to remember or even appreciate "Kill Em All" when it came out in 1983, and, yet, they are still going strong!
Metallica’s first four albums. I’ll give black album a nod too but after that they went downhill massively. I’d say Metallica, Megadeth and Pantera are the 3 best of this genre for sure. Slayer and anthrax can’t hold a candle to those bands.
I love seeing people hear my favorite songs for the first time. I think it's great that you all have an open mind and gave metal a chance. It's not as popular as it used to be, but it's amazing music.
The intro for this song can be translated into a good vs evil scene. One of my favorite songs from this song. When I'm at the gym I blast this song thru my headphones on my last set and go all out everytime. 🤘
Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, Jimmy page, Brian May are elites at their craft. That really only scratches the surface. What gives Metallica their signature sound is the Bass guitar playing of Great Cliff Burton and after tragically losing him in a freak bus accident Jason Newsted. With multiple guitars, hard hitting drums by Lars Ulrich, and Strong vocals by James Hatfield Metallica is one of a kind. Their distinctive sound and style will alert you right away that Metallica is in the house!!! Bang your head
You should do another reaction video to 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'... But this time react to their live performance from August 31 1985. The main reason you need to react to this version is for the LEGENDARY Cliff Burton, probably the GREATEST Bass player of all time!! And his intro into this live performance is werth it alone.
Talk about memories!! This is a song we used to play when I was in a band as a teenager! One of the first songs I learned how to play on the guitar. Thank you guys❤
Great,great reaction. Love Metallica and their vast catalogue. Even their failures just add to the legacy. Their greatness also enabled them to create music that they could play for decades live and often even improving on the studio versions.
Metallica is the best band of all time! So glad you guys are reacting to the best! Here’s one that is amazing. “… and justice for all”. This song opens up so badass your necks will be sore from bobbing your head so much. Metallica is truly number one. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Metallica.
Watching you guys experience these songs for the first time brings back memories of when I first heard these songs. My friends and I dissected every riff, every word, but then repeatedly listened, enjoying and appreciating every bit of the song. I would love to see you guys react to some Jollymon (grunge band from the 90s, they recently released a new album, 2016 I think? Void Walker, it is beautiful)

True.. but, we all know Metallica is mainly a white man's music. Til this person of color& a female at that heard them. Now, it's Metallica or nothing at all. Not too many females are even into Metallica. And if they are. It's bc of their other half.. Rock On
@@missygeno4391 that is such an inaccurate comment. There are many many female metal heads… that love and appreciate Metallica and their music. I’m one! Been a fan since 12 years old. And it’s not because of a boyfriend.. me and my sister jammed out to Metallica megadeth slayer ozzy.. all of it!
As an old metallica fan, it's always a pleasure to see great reactions for this special band. I think you should listen to a song called "Dyers eve"... Trust me on this one..... 🤘🤘 Keep up the good work with your channel.
I love watching their reactions for the first time. I remember the first time I heard Metallica, almost 40 years ago, it was very similar then… lol… Rock on!!! 🤟🏻
I saw Metallica in 1989 with The Cult as the opening band. It was in support of their "And Justice For All" tour. Every song was as good or better live. These guys play all these songs note for note live. By the way, you guys should check a song by their opening band that year, The Cult. "Fire Woman" is a great song of theirs. It's worth it to watch the official video to see how energetic The Cult is on stage. Especially their singer Ian Astbury, who has one of the best rock voices ever, in my opinion.
The best version of this song is at Day on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum when Cliff Burton was still alive. The intro solo was bass guitar. Cliff was the best metal bassist ever.
As a metal head who listened to Metallica since day 1 and it has always been and always will be my favourite band I love watching your reaction videos. ❤
Go see them live. Keep digging into their catalog. Worth the money for the experience. You could make a great video. Before, during and after the concert.🤘🎸🤘
Gary Moore was the guitarist that made one of you cry. Don't cast your vote for greatest guitarist until you've seen Prince play While My Guitar Gently Weeps, or Clapton, or Eddie Van Halen. You've gotta listen to some new Metallica too - The Day That Never Comes and All Nightmare Long are amazing.
Oh....one more thing.... When they played this song, Cliff Burton came out and was under a single purple spotlight...I'll never forget it, ever..... And proceeded to make every man, woman and child in Ft. Waste, IN. feel their hearts beat in their chests as he played the intro to this.... It was that perfect and that loud!!! No shit!!! He was INCREDIBLE!!! CLIFF EM' ALL BABY!
Omg...I used to have this on a cassette tape on a Walkman, and would blast this while walking to school. Now I'm just an old lady. This song never gets old....but I did. 😬 Time marches on..
This & Enter Sandman were both influenced by " Hell's Bells". The build up and everything is strikingly similar. Different chords and tempo, but definitely heavily influenced by AC/DC.
One of the best songs ever put out by Metallica was The call of Ktula. It’s about 8 1/2 minutes long, but a very emotional song…even though it has absolutely no lyrics! You need to look up what the song is about before you listen to it to understand the mood/tempo changes. I highly recommend this song! It’s one of the best guitar playing songs ever!
Timeless masterpiece. This Album came out in 1984, and it's 2024 I'm listening to this everyday! FWTBT, Ride the Lighting, Creeping Death, Fight Fire with Fire 🌩🔥
45 year old white dude here, love watching you guys appreciate good music. If you haven't done cemetery gates, or walk by Pantera then please get on it.
Love this. Metallica some of the best workout/lifting music there is. Love seeing younger generations get into it (I'm 34). Stranger things did a great thing for Metallica and introducing the kids to real metal
@@robstaaass Metallica concerts were awesome in the 80s. Packed to the gills with teenage metal heads. No security, everybody smoking, wild chics. Probably the best show was 89 with Queensryche Operation Mindcrime. Had backstage passes. Stillgot the ticket somewhere. lol.
@@jareddyer3142 Yeah it is bro. It's introducing Metallica to a demographic of kids who would never ever listen to it otherwise. They would keep on listening to the mostly trash that's out today.
From 3:14 to like 3:45 that's the greatest reaction to Metallica I've ever seen and the way I would wish everyone reacted when I showed them back in the day 🤣
To Live Is To Die is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard in my life! As a mixed kid like Brock I grew up listening to all kinds of different music and Metallica was one of the bands that had a profound impact on my youth. Musical geniuses with some pretty deep lyrics. If you guys want to hear some pure musical talent with minimal lyrics check this song out. Off of the And Justice For All album (their best album probably) it's a little long but well worth a listen!
I've got to say, channels like your guy's are kind of a drug for me at this point. I love seeing people's reactions to things they're not typically into or exposed to, like y'all with Metal, Bill Burr, etc. I love to see it, especially with metal, not just seeing your take on it, but to see y'all look up the meanings, seeing the song in a new light, and just jamming out. Honestly the biggest reason is that it gives me hope for the future just seeing people willing to try new things, willing to see things from different perspectives and thinking outside the box that society, as a whole, tries to put all of us in.
I was born in PR in ‘95 but MAN, my father put me on to some cold music growing up. Metallica for me was a little enjoyable secret between my father and I
Every Church in the olden days had bells, and they would ring them For funerals and during times of war. Everybody worships in a different way in my eyes this is a tribute to anyone that was made to fight in the war and didn't come home. The bells are key to understanding are fallen soldiers.
I've misheard a lot of lyrics in my time and have heard this song a million times. Never did I think the opening line was what you guys heard. Thanks guys, I'll never hear it the same again. Keep up the good work. How about Metallica "Dyers Eve". It's a Banger!!!
Yes! The S&M versions are good and anyone who disagrees can exit stage left because we don't need that kind of negative energy. Lulu is prolly the only thing by Metallica that I outright dislike.
You guys have become metalheads!!! 😊😂 Great work all - enjoy the journey! Next suggestions: Creeping Death Moscow 91’… (played after Enter Sandman which you all watched). Record version - Disposable Heroes… imo their best song… Hammett makes the guitar bleed nearly…
This was the first Metallica song I heard in 86 or 87. Loved the intro with that deep bell. You’re right about the guitar rhythm. You guys should checkout the late Matt “Guitar” Murphy’s work with the Blues Brothers band & his other session works.
I enjoy your videos. They're fun. And you guys are opening your minds to incredible music. Intelligent and interesting songs written and performed by extremely talented people. I'm not sure if most people really understand how complicated and difficult it is to play instruments and flawlessly (or almost) record them. Keep going, you guys. You should make a video of all of your top 10 songs so far. There is so much more to discover. Its fun when people first get in to and learn songs that I have been loving for so many years. A request, if i may. Please do some reaction videos for the first Limp Bizkit album titled "Three Dollar Bill Ya'll". Please everyone, trust me. This album is incredible. Literally, incredible. You're all gonna love it. ✌🤘
From a longtime Metallica fan this is in my opinion one of if not the best rock bands ever! Their sound is unique so much so that no matter where you are if a Metallica song comes on you know it's them!
I’ve said this before but Metallica had a very early contributor named Lloyd Grant that was a black dude. Most metal bands dgaf about race. Glad to see you guys all headbanging. That was me in my friends in the 80’s to this exact song. Also a pretty cool guitar player recommendation to react to would be Steve Vai’s Teeth of the Hydra 🤯
Kirk Hammett is mixed raced. He is part Filipino. He was around 22 years old when this album was released. That is AMAZING! All of them were so young when they wrote these songs. Mucho respect!
@@nickninja52 for me ride the lightning just has a sound and feel that none of their other albums can touch plus it was the first album of Metallica's that I owned so maybe im a bit biased to that one. MOP is a great album theres no denying it I mean battery, leper messiah, disposable heroes and obviously the title track are all metal classic's but for me ride the lightning will always hold rank above the others.
You guys need to get this going on vinyl with a great sound system and crank it up to really appreciate this and all of the Metallica OG stuff. These riffs made metal what it is. Metallica is a once in a generation phenomenon!
The coolest part of the intro is that the riff that plays is on bass rather than a regular guitar. Cliff Burton was a game changer for bass playing
....in metal👍
Amen
Cliff was insanely skilled, his love for the misfits is a part of why the misfits blew up after they were already over
Which part of the intro was the bass.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 13 and the radio came on with this. That Christmas my sister bought me my favorite Metallica album to date. Ride the lightning!
7:49 “Take a look to the sky just before you die, IT’S THE LAST TIME YOU WILL” my favorite part of the song. 🤘
Same..!!
"for a hill men would kill, why they do not know, stippin wounds test their pride" is killer. Imagine a song starting like that.
It actually says "HE" will. I used to think it said you also. But that’s what it’s always said in the booklet and it’s on the official website too.
Its a powerful scene in the book also
Same, then “Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky” give me chills
I am 45 and I have been listening to Metallica since I was like 12. Some of the most BEAUTIFUL MUSIC EVER MADE! 🎶 🎵🎸
My brother played this every morning when I woke up to go to work. Gave me such a charge!😁
49 and had the Metallica demo before KillEmAll released. Metallica for life
@@metallicafan416 Pretty well connected in the tape trading circles for an 8 year old.

One of my all time FAVORITE songs by Metallica!! Crank this LOUD in your car when you wanna get out some aggression or emotion!!
Or at the gym! It is actually in my rotation twice. First song and like the 12th out of 25. 2 hours of pure workout music!
Lightning is the best album Metallica produced
Oh yeah!!! With MetallicA, the louder it gets, the better it sounds.
Metallica is one of the reasons metal heads from the 80s are so well adjusted as adults. We had an outlet for our emotions, the entire range of them. Especially the anger you can have as a teen/young adult.

Metallica was my first concert. 1988 . And justice for all tour. I was hooked!
Gary Moore was the guitarist that made one of you cry. Don't cast your vote for greatest guitarist until you've seen Prince play While My Guitar Gently Weeps, or Clapton, or Eddie Van Halen. You've gotta listen to some new Metallica too - The Day That Never Comes and All Nightmare Long are amazing.
White, black, brown, yellow....Metalheads know no color boundaries. Thrash on, fellas! Rock hard!
✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🤘🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿 💯💯💯
Oh....one more thing.... When they played this song, Cliff Burton came out and was under a single purple spotlight...I'll never forget it, ever..... And proceeded to make every man, woman and child in Ft. Waste, IN. feel their hearts beat in their chests as he played the intro to this.... It was that perfect and that loud!!! No shit!!! He was INCREDIBLE!!! CLIFF EM' ALL BABY!
Omg...I used to have this on a cassette tape on a Walkman, and would blast this while walking to school. Now I'm just an old lady.
This song never gets old....but I did. 😬
Time marches on..
Yep, just wait until the nursing home has to deal with my music.......
The Sony Walkman and the cassette! I know that's right! The song never gets old,and as long as we blast our music,we never do either!🎶🤘😉
You are not an 'old lady.' You lived the best era of metal and we are damn proud of it!! Keep Rockin!
@@flounder1843 😊
Motorhead inspired Metallica ....... Ace of Spades was HUGE
Was @ the concert in Seattle with Moterhead/Metallica/Guns n' Roses
🤘🔥
That' s true. And Slayer Dave too: Overkill!
Do a reaction to AZ the rapper he was super nice!!!
This & Enter Sandman were both influenced by " Hell's Bells". The build up and everything is strikingly similar. Different chords and tempo, but definitely heavily influenced by AC/DC.
Phil Taylor on drums for Ace of Spades was F**king awesome!
One of the best songs ever put out by Metallica was The call of Ktula. It’s about 8 1/2 minutes long, but a very emotional song…even though it has absolutely no lyrics! You need to look up what the song is about before you listen to it to understand the mood/tempo changes. I highly recommend this song! It’s one of the best guitar playing songs ever!
Timeless masterpiece. This Album came out in 1984, and it's 2024 I'm listening to this everyday! FWTBT, Ride the Lighting, Creeping Death, Fight Fire with Fire 🌩🔥
45 year old white dude here, love watching you guys appreciate good music. If you haven't done cemetery gates, or walk by Pantera then please get on it.
The whole album is a masterpiece of metal! To Metallica begins where Black Sabbath ends, a new generation of Metal.
True I never thought of the time like that, just as Sabbath loses Dio these guys get on their feet.
@@ii-wt7jq I thought Sabbath was done after they broke but Dio man...Heaven and Hell blew me away...still does.
@@xirknight I can easily say greatest voice I've ever heard, Dio was and is unlike any other
Love this. Metallica some of the best workout/lifting music there is. Love seeing younger generations get into it (I'm 34). Stranger things did a great thing for Metallica and introducing the kids to real metal
That's funny you say that because AJFA was the only album we'd listen to back when I was a teenager lifting weights.
@@gabrieldilworth8114 It's wild to me to picture being a teenager at the time that album came out haha. Pretty cool.
@@robstaaass Metallica concerts were awesome in the 80s. Packed to the gills with teenage metal heads. No security, everybody smoking, wild chics. Probably the best show was 89 with Queensryche Operation Mindcrime. Had backstage passes. Stillgot the ticket somewhere. lol.
Stranger things is not introducing younger people to Metallica, Metallica is way better than that garbage and stands on its own
@@jareddyer3142 Yeah it is bro. It's introducing Metallica to a demographic of kids who would never ever listen to it otherwise. They would keep on listening to the mostly trash that's out today.
From 3:14 to like 3:45 that's the greatest reaction to Metallica I've ever seen and the way I would wish everyone reacted when I showed them back in the day 🤣
I LOVE watching you guys during the song's intro! Each one of you has a different vibe that you like, and it shows!
The intro is the best part of the song, its so masterfully constructed that the lyrics play second fiddle to it
To Live Is To Die is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard in my life! As a mixed kid like Brock I grew up listening to all kinds of different music and Metallica was one of the bands that had a profound impact on my youth. Musical geniuses with some pretty deep lyrics. If you guys want to hear some pure musical talent with minimal lyrics check this song out. Off of the And Justice For All album (their best album probably) it's a little long but well worth a listen!
"Disposable Heroes" from the Master Of Puppets album will rock your worlds.
Love seeing you guys make what’s old new again… And kudos to the dude being decisive with the Randy Rhoads call 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Correct analysis
dude in the red hat ..RANDY is the GOAT! ... quiet riot ..... come on feel the noise ... thats him too solo is AWESOME
You should see Metallica do this live. Send chills down your spine. Watch them with the San Francisco orchestra back in '99.
i just saw them live last saturday. i agree i felt it in my bones
This Is by far my favorite song by them, been waiting for you guys to react to this one
same!
FWTBT is to Metallica what Hallowed Be Thy Name is to Iron Maiden. They are the top 2 80s metal bands imo.
Wow totally tickles my heavy metal heart hearing you guys singing crazy train !! That jus made my day !
Keep the Metallica coming, dudes! Love watching you guys/new people discover Metallica and metal music in general. Great stuff, bros! 👍
Now re-listen to this song off of their S&M album and see how dope it sounds with the SF Symphony backing it. Its HUGE.
🤘🤩
This song still gets me fired up after all these years. Great reaction guys.
I love that you guys are doing tons of Metallica songs.
Metallica works pretty well on RUclips views
One of the best songs ever ❤️🤘
Definitely on my desert island list
I've got to say, channels like your guy's are kind of a drug for me at this point. I love seeing people's reactions to things they're not typically into or exposed to, like y'all with Metal, Bill Burr, etc. I love to see it, especially with metal, not just seeing your take on it, but to see y'all look up the meanings, seeing the song in a new light, and just jamming out. Honestly the biggest reason is that it gives me hope for the future just seeing people willing to try new things, willing to see things from different perspectives and thinking outside the box that society, as a whole, tries to put all of us in.
Just epic times.... lyrics 😝 mess with you...they heard what I did the first line 🤣
I was born in PR in ‘95 but MAN, my father put me on to some cold music growing up. Metallica for me was a little enjoyable secret between my father and I
Every Church in the olden days had bells, and they would ring them For funerals and during times of war. Everybody worships in a different way in my eyes this is a tribute to anyone that was made to fight in the war and didn't come home. The bells are key to understanding are fallen soldiers.
I've misheard a lot of lyrics in my time and have heard this song a million times. Never did I think the opening line was what you guys heard. Thanks guys, I'll never hear it the same again. Keep up the good work. How about Metallica "Dyers Eve". It's a Banger!!!
i started fucking crying
I was laughing so hard I almost cried. Never have I ever heard that before in all my years of listening to this and now I cannot not hear it 😅.
@@시우시우-g8nI hear it but ik why 😅😅
You need to see the live S&M version of this!!!!
Yes I told them it is fire❤❤❤❤I don’t know whose idea was to put a heavy metal band in the same room with a symphony orchestra but I love it
Oh. This will be epic.
they should, that’s such a gem
Yes! The S&M versions are good and anyone who disagrees can exit stage left because we don't need that kind of negative energy.
Lulu is prolly the only thing by Metallica that I outright dislike.
You guys should definitely listen to "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". It's on the Master of Puppets album.
You need to listen to each album in their entirety to appreciate and understand each album’s message.
”Crack of dawn, all is gone… except the will to be” just hits man
You guys have become metalheads!!! 😊😂 Great work all - enjoy the journey!
Next suggestions: Creeping Death Moscow 91’… (played after Enter Sandman which you all watched). Record version - Disposable Heroes… imo their best song… Hammett makes the guitar bleed nearly…
Most iconic bass intro ever! Cliff’em all
Boom Bap drum beat like Wherever I May Roam ...... Love It !!!!!
This was the first Metallica song I heard in 86 or 87. Loved the intro with that deep bell.
You’re right about the guitar rhythm.
You guys should checkout the late Matt “Guitar” Murphy’s work with the Blues Brothers band & his other session works.
I love you guys, your reactions are really genuine, and you all have very different personalities that really comes through the screen
I enjoy your videos. They're fun. And you guys are opening your minds to incredible music. Intelligent and interesting songs written and performed by extremely talented people. I'm not sure if most people really understand how complicated and difficult it is to play instruments and flawlessly (or almost) record them. Keep going, you guys. You should make a video of all of your top 10 songs so far. There is so much more to discover. Its fun when people first get in to and learn songs that I have been loving for so many years.
A request, if i may. Please do some reaction videos for the first Limp Bizkit album titled "Three Dollar Bill Ya'll". Please everyone, trust me. This album is incredible. Literally, incredible. You're all gonna love it. ✌🤘
From a longtime Metallica fan this is in my opinion one of if not the best rock bands ever! Their sound is unique so much so that no matter where you are if a Metallica song comes on you know it's them!
I’ve said this before but Metallica had a very early contributor named Lloyd Grant that was a black dude. Most metal bands dgaf about race. Glad to see you guys all headbanging. That was me in my friends in the 80’s to this exact song. Also a pretty cool guitar player recommendation to react to would be Steve Vai’s Teeth of the Hydra 🤯
Kirk Hammett is mixed raced. He is part Filipino. He was around 22 years old when this album was released. That is AMAZING! All of them were so young when they wrote these songs. Mucho respect!
This is my favorite album. They started in 82 and put out their first album in 83
Basada en la guerra civil española. Gracias MetallicA por semejante obra de arte.
You guys are hilarious. Just bumped into y’all page and absolutely love it. Your reactions are priceless and authentic. 😅👏🏼
Same!
1:54...when the METALLICA kicks in
This is the shit that I crank when racers at the track that I am announcer for are in their four wide salute. It times out perfectly.
Metallica's best album by far
How do you think this one is better than MOP? Legit question cause I can never decide between these albums and and justice for all
@@nickninja52 Cover looks better
Black album brother
@@nickninja52 for me ride the lightning just has a sound and feel that none of their other albums can touch plus it was the first album of Metallica's that I owned so maybe im a bit biased to that one. MOP is a great album theres no denying it I mean battery, leper messiah, disposable heroes and obviously the title track are all metal classic's but for me ride the lightning will always hold rank above the others.
@@kyprosalbakri8963 Definitely not used to love the black album cant listen to it at all now to cheesy.
Enter sandman by Metallica live in Moscow ! 2 million people insane
600k, even the dudes in metallica said it in a documentary. all that 1-2 million talk is just RUclips bullshit
You should react to "The day that never comes" next by Metallica!
You guys need to get this going on vinyl with a great sound system and crank it up to really appreciate this and all of the Metallica OG stuff. These riffs made metal what it is. Metallica is a once in a generation phenomenon!
Seen them in 2017 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. 110% best live show ever!! The pyro is wicked.
This shit was heavy for 1984. Still is.
For 1984??? This sh*t is timeless my boi
