James was still a little less than two weeks away from turning 20, but close enough. Cliff was the oldest at 21, then Kirk at 20, and Lars (younger than James by just a few months) was also still 19. If Dave had still been with them, he would have been the oldest, also being 21, but closer to 22 than Cliff was. Ron was also 19, and between James and Kirk, birthdaywise. So yeah, most of Metallica (members and ex-members) at that time weren’t even legal drinking age. Not that this fact stopped them, of course.
Cool! Yes, I was also in high school when this song came out. We were called the headbangers, heavy metalers, and hesians, lol. Those were the years!!! 🤘
I don't think Burton ever played any "clank" that was prevalent after he died. Note that I think Burton was one of the great bassists, but he didn't have the "clank" sound.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them live while Cliff was still alive. Watching him do Anesthesia live was amazing. It was August 1986, after Master of Puppets came out. They were the opening act for Ozzy. Great show.
@@horacehhelmsley9375 DD Verni was one of the earky metal bassists to use the "clank" sound. On the first two OVERKILL albums, he used a Ric bass (similar to Burton, whu used a modified Ric), but switched to a B.C. Widow and the "clank" sound. Dave Ellefson had it early on as well, and I'm sure you think of other metal bassists to used it as well in the "early" days. Burton used a wah pedal, something a lot of bassists didn't use.
Fun fact: when Metallica went on tour for this album they toured with a band called Raven that had just released an album called "All For One." They called it the "Kill Em All For One Tour." But here's the best part... on that album Raven also has a song called Seek and Destroy.
I saw them together on that first tour at a club called Coast To Coast here in Baltimore, Md. I was only 15 and snuck into the club underage to see them. Met the whole band (Metallica, of course...) and hung out with them after the show. I still have my autographed by all 4, copy of Kill 'Em All on vinyl and a cassette copy of their "No Life 'Till Leather" demo that Lars personally gave me at that show. Super cool bunch of dudes. Been a fan ever since.
Yes, this is younger Metallica. This is from their first album from 1983. The first 3 albums (Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets) are their best albums i.m.o.
I second, triple, quadruple, etc etc etc that! Maybe they should go straight to the Live in Moscow version (ONLY if they're ready for it though). Literally their best live performance (I know the Seattle one too, but I feel this one was better).
This was their first album. A handful of these songs were co written by Megadeths Dave Mustaine, and if you all have heard any Megadeth, you can totally hear his influence.
I like both songs. Weirdly, both songs became theme music for wrestlers in WCW in the late 90s. KISS even had a themed wrestler called the KISS Demon. WCW had to have paid a grip for licensing lol.
Someone who also stands out in the early Metallica records is their bassist Cliff Burton. He was way ahead of his time, and you can hear him in the back adding the groove and the weird noises, that even to this day a lot of people can’t tell that is actually a bass! Gone way to soon, RIP Cliff!
I just love how Amber turned slowly but surely into a metalhead! It feels me with joy seeing how the riffs rips trough her soul and she cant help but headbang! Cheers!
This is from their first LP which came out in 1983, and it's an absolute classic - these were all songs that were written before Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton joined- but they still made these songs their own. This LP has non-stop riffs that have been adopted and adapted by rock bands (metal and otherwise) for the last 4 decades. Now- check out "Search And Destroy" by Iggy And The Stooges. 😊😊
Yeah, thankfully I had mellowed quite a bit by the time there were cameras everywhere. Now people are purposely recording their crazy shit and meltdowns. It's weird.
This was my high school’s theme for my senior year. They played it at every game and through the halls. Our yearbook was a take on their black album. It was amazing.
Seeing them play this live is an experience! James sings Searchiiiiiing! And we all shout Seek and Destroy!! James gets mad when we aren't shouting loud enough! 🤘🤘 Kill Em All is their first album. They were 18-22 years old. Very raw and thrashy!
@byerenny I've seen them 7 times. First time in 1988 when I was 15, last time was last year. Every show has been awesome. I think James, Jason, and Rob have all sang it, but I can't remember! LOL!
@@danielwagerman9524I’m the same. First time I saw them was the Justice tour with Queensryche at the UIC pavilion in 1988. 15 years old. I’ve seen them a bunch of times since then, always awesome. Unfortunately, rhetorical prices have gotten so out of control I won’t go anymore.
I hope everyone gets a chance to see this song live! There is nothing quite comparable to being in a stadium with 50k+ people screaming "Seek & Destroy!" in unison.
My neighborhood in the 80s. Parents yelling,turn that down! As a kid I couldn't afford speakers so you get a couple of car speakers and make a box for them. No cell phones.
My stereo was a dual tape boom box hooked up to six speakers all car speakers. Two Panasonic tweeters two magnavox speakers two blaupunkt woofer my dad gave me. I mounted them in two boxes I made at shop class in school. And my dad taught me how to wire them. My dad regretted his decision to teach me between the metal and punk music I listened to lol.
Experience them performing this live is another level. With the whole crowd shouting RUNNING, (on our way) HIDING, (you will pay) DYING (one thousand deaths)
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! *If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you..prevent inflation.*
I feel sympathy and empathy for our country, low income earners are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Wayne. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
Honestly, our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel sorry for disabled people who don't get the help they deserve. All thanks to Mr Michael Wayne, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $5700 in a few days..
Did someone just mention Mr Wayne!? Damn! You just made my day; what a coincidence.. I've worked with him for over 2years and I can tell how good he is
They did two 40th Anniversary shows here in San Francisco (essentially their hometown). The first night they played tracks (at least one from each album) chronologiacally. The second night they started with their newest album (Hardwired to Self Destruct) at the time and went chronologically backwards. They repeated no songs and you knew they were going to end with this track from their first album. It was in my head the whole walk home to my condo; great night!
We were living in Hawaii and I just got back from an 8 month deployment. My wife says "do you want to go to a Metallica concert"..... my only response was... FUCK YEAH! Love seeing your reactions. You guys rock.
this is the tune that turned me on to metallica.. Some of my best memories are skating in my local school parking lot with the ghetto blaster cranking the 'Kill 'em all " album ..
I like the pace of their newest song, 'Liars & Thieves.' But yeah, Amber needs to dip her toes in some female growlers. I'd love for them to watch a Hanabie video. Lol They did do a Jinjer reaction sometime ago.
Hi it’s me again!😀 Anything from the concert in Seattle 89!!!!!! It’s Metallica at there best and in there prime!! You don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s there best concert ever. SEATTLE 89!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
First Album!!!! It is legendary and kicked the door down for thrash metal!!! Nobody nationwide was hearing this style? California did, but this album brought it out!!!!!
It’s me again! For whom the bell tolls!!!!!!!!!seattle 89!!!!! Please!!!!! It’s awesome and the best live version. Or even creeping death!!!! Seattle 89!!! I’ll subscribe if you do both.👍
I think they need to check out the Thing that should not be in Seattle, or Harvester of Sorrow in Seattle. Those two songs are IMO WAY better live than the studio version, and just help prove why James is one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
As I've mentioned here many times before, I saw them live in Melbourne, Australia (when they were supported by Kyuss - later to re-emerge as Queens of the Stone Age, which you must get into!) and they are awesome live! The first song I ever heard of Metallica's was "Battery" - it's so infectious. (and yes - this was very early Metallica - but I think there's so much more metal for you guys to check out, such as Soulfly, Machinehead, Sepultura, etc. ❣
He's not playing on the album, he was booted before they recorded it. That's Kirk playing. But Mustaine wrote some of the shit as we all know, and some say he wrote the solo for this song. I can't seem to confirm that though.
Hello from Russia. You are the best. I won't get tired of repeating it.. yes. awesome There is never much metallica .. even more metallics . and Skid Row . and check out Billy Idol from the 1990 album. There are super tracks there . Эмбер - вы просто потрясающая СУПЕР , когда слушаете Metallica !!! я завидую Вашему мужу . Вы просто идеальная семейная пара .. долгих лет любви Вам
SOOOOOO good to hear you (again) going back to the birth of Metallica; there are too many artists (Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, REO Speedwagon for the most part) where it's like pulling teeth to get you to go back to the pre-Superstar era. But I guess nobody can deny the power of Burton-era OG Metallica. "Kill 'em All" next, perhaps? Lead Guitar: Kirk Hammett.
This album ROCKS!!! RIP Cliff Burton,legendary bassist.I was rocking out to this in 1983 when it came out and I was in Jr.High back in those days,lol. Thanks for the cool reaction!! Rock on!! 🎶❤️✌🏻
That James Hetfield sound is partly because he was young, and partly because of how the music is mixed. They didn't put in bass so much in those days. That's why the Black Album was so popular, they cranked up the bass.
agreed, this album has always sounded a bit "tinny" to me. i absolutely love it, it is one of the greatst metal albums of all time anyway, but i would have loved for the production on this album to have been better, with more bass. the live versions of the songs from kill 'em all really show what you are talking about.
What a stunning first LP. And yes, Four Horsemen please. I remember covering that song. the lead guitar player was playing on a borrowed guitar the other guitar player had. This 15 year old kid absolutely shredding "Four Horsemen" No lie. Saying the kid was gifted is an understatement. Rock on you two.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE METALLICA SONGS!!!! They would play this at Texas Tech games the year that Mike Leach took over whenever our defense would take the field. I make HS Football team highlight reels for them to watch to get pumped up for the game. THIS IS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR!!!!!
The first song I ever heard from Metallica way back around 1985 and still one of my favorites! It’s a must see live song! It require audience participation.
I remember the awesome version they did on the Black album tour where James would come down to the audience and get them to scream the chorus!!! (He might have done that before and after, but I was there in San Diego when they filmed the live video!)
When I was in high school, we used to listen to this album at my house full set of stereo full set of speakers. Listen to it over and over and over again I know every song on this album. It’s very good. Rip cliff ❤.
San Francisco Bay Area in the early 80's. Now that you have heard it, think about what the people looked like that listened to it and went to the clubs to see thrash bands. It was an incredible scene!
Four Horsemen PLEEEEEEEEASE from this same album! The groove is incredible
Oh man, you should check out Mechanix by Megadeth
Or Whiplash. Nothing better than rock played at lightspeed!
Hell yeah 🔥🤘🏽🔥@@gabem6863
Definitely💯
Definitely 👊💯
This was their debut studio album, Kill 'Em All, in 1983
This was their first album
James was only 20 when this album came out in 1983.
I still have the vinyl album. They all looked so young, just kids!
actually not even quite 20
James was still a little less than two weeks away from turning 20, but close enough. Cliff was the oldest at 21, then Kirk at 20, and Lars (younger than James by just a few months) was also still 19. If Dave had still been with them, he would have been the oldest, also being 21, but closer to 22 than Cliff was. Ron was also 19, and between James and Kirk, birthdaywise. So yeah, most of Metallica (members and ex-members) at that time weren’t even legal drinking age. Not that this fact stopped them, of course.
Yeah it's crazy to think about how young they all were while writing these masterpieces
Released July '83 James (August '63) and Lars(December '63) were 19. Kirk (November '62) was 20 and Cliff (February '62) was 21. Babies but genuises.
This song was considered the "cornerstone" for the music from their early years. One of their top songs.
I was in high school when this came out. My buddy and I were "headbangers." He had two pirahnas in a 10 gal tank...their names were Seek and Destroy 🤘
thats badass dude, right on ❤🔥🤘
That's awesome!😳 🐟😀
You know your friend "wins"...right?
Cool! Yes, I was also in high school when this song came out. We were called the headbangers, heavy metalers, and hesians, lol. Those were the years!!! 🤘
When it comes down to it, though, piranhas don’t care what you call them, as long as you don’t call them late for dinner.
When Amber rocks out like this, she reminds me of Janice, the guitarist from the electric Muppet band, and that is a compliment.
OMG, I can't unsee it now. :)
Amber is getting the stink face down too ... which again is a compliment :)
Electric Mayhem!
lol.i cant believe you dredged up that muppet.totally forgot her
@@TwistedWrister82 Dr. Teeth knew how to pick them!
A Mustain written solo always stands out
Lowkey one of the weaker solos on the album
@@dennislinehan6548 finally sticking with your era. Good kid
Stands out as being probably the least interesting on the entire album.
Awww Amber, you would be the ONE hippie dancing in the mosh pit commanding the open space. You go girl!
I was just thinking, she's about ready to tear up a pit! LoL. In a good way.
I don't think that guitar solo gets enough recognition, one of the best there is
Bassist-The one and only Cliff Burton
I don't think Burton ever played any "clank" that was prevalent after he died. Note that I think Burton was one of the great bassists, but he didn't have the "clank" sound.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them live while Cliff was still alive. Watching him do Anesthesia live was amazing. It was August 1986, after Master of Puppets came out. They were the opening act for Ozzy. Great show.

@@horacehhelmsley9375 odd...I don't know happened.
Yes this is their first album
Yep, 1983
i was riding my bmx with a case of beer on the handlebars when this came out.haha...
Yes. But really it was No life til Leather. Lol
Not really. Garage days was the best.
Not really. Garage days was the best.
First album. Amber is rocking

So nice to see Amber totally rockin' out!! And that awesome smile!!🤘💕🤘
Now you have to listen to Hit the lights off the same album!!
Our Girl Amber really seems to get the rhythm and flow of the guitars and the vocals... LOVE to see the appreciation of an unexpected music style
I'm still hoping you'll do Metallica's "Creeping Death." I5 tells the story of Moses and the 10 plagues of Egypt! It's straight fire! 🤘😎🔥
I've been requesting this for God knows how long. No luck.
@tbjfsu I've also requested many songs, videos and even movies. I've been following them since the very beginning, and I'm still waiting. 🤷 lol
I second, triple, quadruple, etc etc etc that! Maybe they should go straight to the Live in Moscow version (ONLY if they're ready for it though). Literally their best live performance (I know the Seattle one too, but I feel this one was better).
Seattle ‘89 live!
Creeping death in Moscow that is absouutly bonkers
Have a friend of mine that served in Afghanistan. Thanks for your service JG!Told me they would blast this song over loud speakers to scare the enemy!
This was their first album. A handful of these songs were co written by Megadeths Dave Mustaine, and if you all have heard any Megadeth, you can totally hear his influence.
I love hearing Amber get offended when Jay compares the tune to Kiss’ “God of Thunder”!!! Y’all are turning into the Siskel & Ebert of Rock! 😂
Or perhaps Statler and Waldorf 😹😹
KISS couldn't carry Metallica's luggage on their best day
I like both songs. Weirdly, both songs became theme music for wrestlers in WCW in the late 90s. KISS even had a themed wrestler called the KISS Demon. WCW had to have paid a grip for licensing lol.
They We're just Babies.God I love hearing Cliff in the BACK RIP BROTHER 🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🤘
I saw them play for OZZY before they went to Europe !! Worcester Ma. Cliff blew the crowd away!! I’ll never forget that show!!
Kill Em All is still their best album. Every song is a banger.
"Whiplash" is still my favorite Metallica song.
A tribute was later released called Cliff em All
Yeah, and I'm Iron Man
It's great but in my most humble opinion master of puppets is their best album
Someone who also stands out in the early Metallica records is their bassist Cliff Burton. He was way ahead of his time, and you can hear him in the back adding the groove and the weird noises, that even to this day a lot of people can’t tell that is actually a bass! Gone way to soon, RIP Cliff!
I just love how Amber turned slowly but surely into a metalhead! It feels me with joy seeing how the riffs rips trough her soul and she cant help but headbang! Cheers!
Great song! The legendary professional wrestler Sting used this as his entrance theme for many years
From the Police? Lol
This is their best album for me. Raw, pure and heavy.
Back to the beginning!
Anesthesia, Pulling Teeth off the Killem' All album is incredible!!! Cliff Burton does a bass solo!!! RIP Cliff❤❤❤
the song has been a mainstay song for the military..sad for the enemy when our guys are buzzing this in their ear and fighting
Another great song off of this album is "Jump in the Fire"
Throwing it back!!!
Released in 1983….the rest is some of the most important history in Music 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Very first album J.
They are very young. Like almost teenage young. Opening track “Hit The Lights” is a monster. Should be done.
This is from their first LP which came out in 1983, and it's an absolute classic - these were all songs that were written before Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton joined- but they still made these songs their own. This LP has non-stop riffs that have been adopted and adapted by rock bands (metal and otherwise) for the last 4 decades.
Now- check out "Search And Destroy" by Iggy And The Stooges. 😊😊
Partied with James YEARS ago in Chicago on their bus on way to hotel after a show. Dont remember much.... before cell phones..no pics😂
Good thing too lol I am glad I grew up before the camera phone became a thing...
@Max_Flashheart yep...got some stories, but no backup...probably best
Yeah, thankfully I had mellowed quite a bit by the time there were cameras everywhere.
Now people are purposely recording their crazy shit and meltdowns. It's weird.
@@brett6878 haha yeah no evidence lol But stories you can tell your grandkids
@@jackgilchrist Makes no sense to me. It is like gather evidence to make it easy for the judge lol Rock on Dude.
When they play this live it’s insane….. definitely a crowd favorite!
They still hold the hands down largest audience record of 1 million in Moscow! They are loved worldwide ❤
This was my high school’s theme for my senior year. They played it at every game and through the halls. Our yearbook was a take on their black album. It was amazing.

yesssssss we saw them in Los Angeles last August 🔥🤘🏽
My ex girlfriend is part of the female metal heads big time, especially because she used to be the lead singer of a metal band.
First album and they were all around 18 years old when they made this
My neighborhood in the 80s. Parents yelling,turn that down! As a kid I couldn't afford speakers so you get a couple of car speakers and make a box for them. No cell phones.

When I heard These riffs back in 82 it started me on my electric 🎸 journey.
I just had to learn and been playing since.
Shout out to Dave n Megadeth 🔥
"The Call Of Ktulu", "Orion" & "To Live Is To Die". All great instrumentals.
I wrote a short story for an English class to Orion .... My teacher loved it.
Shame on you for not mentioning Suicide&Redemption
The only Song that hasn't any weight to it (cliff or dave connections)
First album 1983!
Say what U what to say rip it
Pimples n piss
Coming through metal
Testament’s cover of this song is worth listening to on your own sometime. Also, they’re definitely another metal band you two should check out.
They'll never react to Testament. I've been asking them to react to Clutch for 9.5 months now, man.
The hypnotic riff fest at the end of this song is what really does it for me with this song... I always go into a trance with those end riffs!!
Who would have thought a few years ago that Amber would b a hard rock head banger??😂😂😂
I thought George Strait by-passed them?
Experience them performing this live is another level. With the whole crowd shouting
RUNNING, (on our way)
HIDING, (you will pay)
DYING (one thousand deaths)

Sticker factory. 😉
this is the tune that turned me on to metallica.. Some of my best memories are skating in my local school parking lot with the ghetto blaster cranking the 'Kill 'em all " album ..
According to Google, this song was released in 1982 and it's quintessential raw Metallica. I think y'all are ready for Battery.
Demo with Dave Mustaine on lead guitar was released in 1982. Album version was released in 1983.
This is one of the best of their catalog. This is the best live with the call and response.
Come on, Arch Enemy "Handshake With Hell"
I like the pace of their newest song, 'Liars & Thieves.' But yeah, Amber needs to dip her toes in some female growlers. I'd love for them to watch a Hanabie video. Lol

Screaming guitars, are so gratifying! These guys were so young !

This album ROCKS!!! RIP Cliff Burton,legendary bassist.I was rocking out to this in 1983 when it came out and I was in Jr.High back in those days,lol. Thanks for the cool reaction!! Rock on!! 🎶❤️✌🏻
That James Hetfield sound is partly because he was young, and partly because of how the music is mixed. They didn't put in bass so much in those days. That's why the Black Album was so popular, they cranked up the bass.
agreed, this album has always sounded a bit "tinny" to me. i absolutely love it, it is one of the greatst metal albums of all time anyway, but i would have loved for the production on this album to have been better, with more bass.
the live versions of the songs from kill 'em all really show what you are talking about.
Yes Jay, this song is off of Metallica's first album, Kill 'Em All, which came out in 1983. James Hetfield was 20 years old.
What a stunning first LP. And yes, Four Horsemen please.
I remember covering that song. the lead guitar player was playing on a borrowed guitar the other guitar player had. This 15 year old kid absolutely shredding "Four Horsemen" No lie. Saying the kid was gifted is an understatement.
Rock on you two.
I was there Nov 1983 Berkeley, Ca...OG Thrasher. This album...changed everything, especially here in the Bay Area
I was around 9 yrs old in '84 and heard this in my cousins basement. Life long Metal fan since then!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE METALLICA SONGS!!!! They would play this at Texas Tech games the year that Mike Leach took over whenever our defense would take the field. I make HS Football team highlight reels for them to watch to get pumped up for the game. THIS IS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR!!!!!
This was their debut album!
This album was recorded one mile from my house in Rochester, NY
yes, young. Their first studio album
The first song I ever heard from Metallica way back around 1985 and still one of my favorites! It’s a must see live song! It require audience participation.
LOVE Metallica!! So much fun watching you two rock out!
This album was debuted in 1983 so, yes James was still pretty young here.
Used to crank this in my car and the whole Album on the way to High School and when leaving High School in the 80's
I remember the awesome version they did on the Black album tour where James would come down to the audience and get them to scream the chorus!!! (He might have done that before and after, but I was there in San Diego when they filmed the live video!)
I bought the Kill'em All album on CD when it was six years old. That was 35 years ago. It never gets old. Hello from northeast Ohio.
When I was in high school, we used to listen to this album at my house full set of stereo full set of speakers. Listen to it over and over and over again I know every song on this album. It’s very good. Rip cliff ❤.
San Francisco Bay Area in the early 80's. Now that you have heard it, think about what the people looked like that listened to it and went to the clubs to see thrash bands. It was an incredible scene!
"spit out the bone" is excellent. drums, riffs and a bass solo
Love this album. It was recorded in my nearby city of Rochester, NY. Damn killer.
This was my cruising music in the 80s with my friends in my camaro...lol
Hey guys
This awesome song along many others was debuted in 1983
