      When I was growing up metal = going to hell. And we got a used computer with 18,000 songs on it.
      I made peace with me going to hell after discovering Metallica and MM and Corrosion of Conformity......

      At my place everyone knows my rules. As far as music playing they know there are a handful of bands/artists that you DO NOT 1) Turn volume down 2) Pause or stop during a song. With the possible exception of someone dying before the song concludes. Of course Metallica is one of those bands. There would have been a physical altercation (!!WHACK!! "Watthfuc dude????) and banishment for either a period of time or until the end of time. There is some music that has become a part of you to the point it is almost a gut punch if a song is interrupted. And yes, I am one of those people that even after I arrive home or anywhere else I will sit in my car to finish listening to a song by certain bands/artists. I'll have it on my main streaming playlist, on my mp player, and even on cd and still wait till the end. It may be crazy, but if I couldn't listen music anymore for some reason I don't know how long I would last. Through the best times and worst times of your entire life the music has always been there for you. It needs to be treated with respect. And now I am done with my philosophical exposition. 🤪🤘

    The year was 1986. I was 16 and only listened to rap and hip_hop. My best friend was a metal head and listened to Iron Maiden, Ozzy, etc and I was forced to listened to it because he had a car and I didn't. I hated it! One day he came to pick me up and he pulls out this cassette tape, looks at me and says to me "Wait til you hear this!" For the 1st time I gave it metal a honest listen. I was immediately transformed into a Metallica fan. Almost 35 years later im still a fan. Seeing you react to this vid was almost like re-living that day when a light bulb went off in my head. I was getting chills Watching you through the whole video because I knew what was happening to you. Lol. BTW.. Watching your reaction vids has actually turned me onto a lot of new metal I would've never considered watching. My playlist now runneth over. Thanks dude... And have a dope ass day!

    That transition from rage to melodic back to rage.
    This song plays to the timeline of the progression of the drug addiction. The rage before the fix in the beginning, then the euphoric high and calmness in the bridge, just before the storm when the drug takes hole, and then the rage comes back to run your life again at the end of the song.... that was the genius behind this song. They didn't just write lyrics to meet the feelings behind the music. They wrote the music to express the entire cycle in it's entirety

      Death Nunslaughter This song went through a lotta renditions before they recorded this version, it was originally s'posed to be on Ride The Lightning. It was written after Dave Mustaine was kicked out for being a massive drug addict, the rest of the band were heavy drinkers though.

      Best comment indeed, for me it was 'Be all, end all' - but my life was not the same after hearing it in '88 (Germany), I entered one of the greatest subcultures, with lifelong friends, recruited my girlfriends and finally wife from there (and from goths, nice girls, just smelled weird), now 46 year long haired father of two, still drumming along. Not wanting to draw a parallel tho this 'thug life' stuff, if you found metal or if it finds you, but the thing is that every metalhead I know has his/her story to tell, you don't end up with us accidentally, it all makes sense, it is a huge therapy after all. I owe metal so much that I could never possibly pay back, so I kinda feel sorry for the guy in the video, Alex, you've been missing out... big time.

I was onto Kill 'Em All when it came out (I was in high school so it was right in the teen boy sweet spot for that kind of music) but it was Ride the Lightning that was the real bomb. I couldn't play that album enough back in the day and everyone I knew was just blown away by the sound. Metallica, with that album, took over heavy metal music...and, like you said, they did it with no assistance whatsoever from traditional music mass media. Back in those days it was word of mouth and some late night, heavy metal show on the radio. No internet, no Limewire yet, very little airplay and only some spotty coverage on MTV. The groups that rose to the top, like Metallica, did so without a pushed media blitz/agenda like they do today. They played instruments. They sang without autotune. True musical talent on display done, oftentimes, without any expectation of vast fame and fortune that top 40 acts enjoyed.
      Actual musical talent. And if this guy liked what he heard on its own merits, imagine how much more impressed he'd be if he was aware of the environment that that album arose from.

    I just wanted to say WOW. I've watched so many react to Master of Puppets, and yes, you were awesome and looked it up first, BUT you figured it out! I haven't seen anyone else figure it out. The frantic feeling of wanting the drug, to the feeling after getting it, and the drug always 'getting the last laugh'. BRAVO! You're actually my favorite BECAUSE you take the time to look up these songs before listening. So thank you! 💕

    Wonderful analysis of this great MASTER piece! During the fast guitar solo, Kirk Hammett accidently pulls the high E string off of the fretboard, it became a classic thing that guitarists tried to emulate ! One of the first songs i learned when i was 13 back in 1987! Still playing today! Cheers and Rawk on!
