It's probably 'cause on this song James' voice has a tone more screamy and hard to fit with his current vocal range and that could be one of the reasons 'cause this song has been played only 21 times until now.
Its shocking that for 4 straight albums there wasn't a single weak song. Never again have we seen that king of dominance....truly. Not even from the band themselves.
Well, 5 if you count the black album, which I do. But yeah, I know what you mean, metallica was grabbing the entire metal scene in the palm of their hands, probably their most dominating era.
I never pictured being frozen in a block of ice unable to move. I always pictured being trapped in a lake with a solid sheet of ice above me. That explains the frantic, high tension pace of the song as you try to break though to live but to no avail.
Kill 'Em All solos are gonna blow him away. The solo in Trapped Under Ice is still pretty similar to the absolute chaos Kirk gets into in the first album's solos.
I must admit this is my fav Metallica song of all time. Been listening to it since the 80's. Yes I am that old. Just love the speed and that it took me a while to get the timing right on that "I".
This song - when the opening solo lifts off like that. Its like opening the front door to unvail a roaring blizzard blinding out the frosty night outside. There is a fantastic production to RTL that makes it for me. That nocturnal, wintery, icy feel to the album, culminating in the great Call of Ktulu, that sound like a great battle across an aurora lit frozen landscape.
right? that guitar tone too.. gorgeous! frosty, dark, bitter tone that adds so much more to the meaning of the songs. this album is pure gold and will hold up for decades to come
Happy Memorial Day ✌️A lot of us here have lost loved ones to war in one way or another, and I know a lot of Vets come here...THANK YOU for your service...to those of you who experienced veteran suicide like me, today’s a hard day but we honor them deeply...and Bless Metallica for singing for them 🤘🏼💕
I still remember this was my first Metallica song I ever hear. The album was just released and I was in high school. That time change and riff at 2:17 made me start playing guitar. Still to this day, I think this album has the most bad ass guitar distortion sound of any album ever.
The riff changeup at 2:16 blew my mind when I was 18 back when this was new. Still the best sounding guitar distortion of any metal album in existence... ever.
@David Rikers Island You should check out these Black Metal bands and songs- 1) Dissection-Where Dead Angels lie,Night's blood,The Somberlain. 2) Agalloch-You were but a ghost in my arms,In the shadow. our pale companion. 3) Mgla-Exercises in futility V. 4) Batushka- Yektenia I,Yektenia III. 5) Emperor-I am the Black Wizards,The Wanderer,With Strength i burn. 6) Enslaved-The Watcher,Havenless,Ethica Odini. 7)Lord Belial-Forlon in silence.
Ever since I found your channel, you've reminded me of my nephew, mostly in looks. Then you said you ran track in high school, and so did he. He's a little younger than you are. He just finished his junior year at U of H. I need to show him your channel. ✌
I am really enjoying this channel. took a few vids to get your humor down. The best part of your reactions, especially Metallica are when you laugh at the sheer mind blowing genius. That's real. I get as much enjoyment watching your reaction to those parts. it's like watching someone's mind get blown over and over. would love to feed you music for reaction.
I am aging myself here just a bit but when listening to the cd of Ride the Lightning I love that transition from the ballad Fade to Black to the thrashy Trapped Under Ice...just that contrast is mind-boggling.
alex: is there a solo coming up? me: well yeah, it's. Metallica, they ain't inviting you over for tea and crumpets lol totally just busting your chops man lol love ya metal brother lol
I'm keep watching these reaction videos and I still consider myself lucky to have lived that time in my life where I got the cassette of the metal albums that now are iconic
This was the first song of theirs I ever heard. My buddy Greg said hey man come over you gotta hear these dudes. That was 1985, after Ride was released but before Master, so this was at the time the most current. I was hooked. Went to Tower Records later that same day and bought Ride the lightning and Kill em all.
yeah this song and escape often get overlooked because the album is just crammed full of great tracks, but it's nice to see someone recognize the greatness hidden in plain sight.
This is real Metallica, when Cliff was still with us. They were young and full of energy, and they let it show. I can't wait til you get to their 1st album. Anesthesia is beyond epic
This is one of the best songs on the album, I like it better than "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Escape." Watching Alex's reactions to songs I've known for decades, I get to rediscover how awesome this music is. Way ahead of its time, also very complex and intricate considering the genre LOL. Keep up the great reactions!
Something that happens in my dreams pretty often is when I run, I get a few steps in, then I start kind of floating and running in place and I'm trying desperately to make sufficient contact with the ground to keep moving. Another thing that happens is I'll somehow get launched to some crazy height. Not hundreds of feet, or like into the sky, just high enough to know it's too high to survive the fall, which inevitably happens after a couple seconds of hang time. Nothing to do with this banger of a song lol but you shared your dream with us, it's only fair we level with you too.
I dont usually watch a ton of reaction videos but i'm fascinated by this song lately. The main riff is beefy and the rapid fire series of solos makes this one of the best tracks in their entire catalogue imo
You should react to Von Raven - The moment you die(Norway) Pagan's mind - God's Equation(Norway) Serj Tankian - Harakiri System of a Down - Boom!

Another known fact about this song! The fast verse riff in F# was salvaged from an old Exodus song called 'Impaler' that Kirk wrote when he was in that band. Check out the re-release of that song on the Exodus album 'Tempo of the Damned' and you can hear the same riff!
Told you in the Fight fire with fire video! Underrated kick-ass song (as well as Escape).... Damn! This is my favorite Metallica song! As well as their best album!
I had a similar experience when I woke up during an operation. I could see, and think, but I couldn't move. Luckily they saw my scared eyes, and pumped me up with more anesthesia! I can also relate to your recurring dream. I used to dream I was getting in fights, but all my punches where so slow...
James stated during the interview for Justice's 30th anniversary that he felt being disconnected from the rest of society would be, "the ultimate hell." His exposure to the book Johnny Got His Gun (which One is based on) as a kid kickstarted this. That's probably why the topic appears here in Trapped Under Ice (person cryogenically frozen) and in One (soldier blown to pieces, with only his mind still 'intact,' as it were). This and Escape are probably the two least known songs of RTL, but Trapped Under Ice did get played on occasion back in the 80's and on the Death Magnetic era tour. The middle section is probably my favorite part with the chanting.
The fast riff in this was actually written for Kirk's first band Exodus. Exodus did release a song called Impaler which uses this same riff. Check it out.
I work with people with brain damage and Can’t stress enough how important things like helmets and other protection is. I’ve seen my fair share of people being “trapped under ice”. Unfortunately. I’ve really come to like these videos. Didn’t think I would but I do 👌🏼 you seem like a good dude😊
This album has, for me, two of the most underrated Metallica songs ever, which are coming up. One is Creeping Death, which has seemed to have slowly gotten more attention over the years. The second is Escape, which almost no one talks about which is a shame cause it's such a fucking great song!
I used to blast this on my cassette WALK MAN ;) on my public bus & subway ride to high school ALMOST every day ....Sepultura was another but anyways ....By the time I got to school I had listened to both sides entirely . Damn right ....
Load was weak for Metallica standards, Reload was better but still pretty weak. St Anger was a bad album. I kinda get why some people like it so much, but honestly I could never enjoy it as much as the old stuff. Death Magnetic was their redemption tho, apart from the production it was a pretty good album with some great bangers.
@@alexperez3367 load and reload really weren't lazy. They could've easily just come up with a black album 2 or just a thrash album that wouldn't be nearly as good. Instead they decided to venture into a different creative direction. Just because they arent thrash doesn't mean they're lazy
Since you've been through some of the songs that they rarely play live (Frayed ends, Dyer's Eve and Escape, and also the instrumentals) here's the story of this song being played live. They played it twice in 1984 (one of those 2 days was Kirk's birthday). After that, a fan named Otto kept bugging them to play it. They jammed a part of the song at the Stone Baloon show in 1989 (you should check out the setlist of that show its mind boggling how many rarities they squeezed into it). So yeah they brought Otto up to sing with them on that jam, but he kept bugging them to play the full song live some day. Fast forward to 2000, they finally gave in and played the full song for him. They played it a few times in 2004 (very few) and then brought it back in 2009 as one of the alternates for the rotating sets. 2009 might be the year they played it the most. They continued doing that till the end of the Death Magnetic tour in 2010 after which they stopped playing it again. They played it one more time in 2012 as a one-off performance along with Escape because they were playing the entire Ride the Lightning album.
This song was powerful for me in my youth. I tended to view it as the ice being a metaphor for society, expectations, and norms. :) I know that wasn't the intention but I was always walking my own path and I started viewing it that way when someone I respected told me that this song reminded them of me.
One of the riffs in this song, was written by Kirk whilst he was in Exodus for a song called "Impaler". You should react to that song, it's a thrash classic!
This album brings me back I tell ya!! I had this on cassette are wore the thing out lol! one of fav metal albums all time!! This album really cemented me a life time Metallica fan!!
This has happened to me through out my whole life my mind begins waking but my body doesn't and I'm aware I can feel my subconscious trying to breath for me as I'm trying to control my breathing fighting to shake my head back and forth to wake myself its hell seems as it lasts forever but probably only a min or so before consciousness fully take over and relief settles in and I can move.
Fun fact: The main riff was written for a song for exodus which Kirk Hammett was in before he joined Metallica. They never release the song until 2004 but I think they did better justice and use of the riff on the song Impaler by Exodus. Trapped on the ice is still good but doesn’t hit as great as impaler does. Worth checking out!
I had this cassette get stuck in my 74 Lemans for a whole summer. My best friend only liked country at the time. Needless to say he was a weed smoking beer slamming metal head after that summer

Hell yeah!
They should rename that album to "Listen to 'em all"
Kill 'Em All solos are gonna blow him away. The solo in Trapped Under Ice is still pretty similar to the absolute chaos Kirk gets into in the first album's solos.

a criminally underrated track and my favorite off RTL
This is one of the most "in your fucking face" Metallica songs, musically speaking. I absolutely love it.
I still remember this was my first Metallica song I ever hear. The album was just released and I was in high school. That time change and riff at 2:17 made me start playing guitar. Still to this day, I think this album has the most bad ass guitar distortion sound of any album ever.
One of the best Metallica songs that nobody ever talks about. 4:32 is one of my favorite riffs ever.
The riff changeup at 2:16 blew my mind when I was 18 back when this was new. Still the best sounding guitar distortion of any metal album in existence... ever.
You make your Metallica reactions as long as you want! I’d never get bored with you talking up Metallica!
For me, Disposable Heroes holds this title I think. Still, and incredible song.. Excited for Creeping Death
Disposable Heroes is one of their greatest songs, i don't know who it isn't one of their most played ones.
Leper Messiah. Their best overall song.
This is the album that got me into Metallica and I never looked back 🤘⚡ and I've been on the Metallica train ever since...
What do you think about Black Metal?

Hey Alex! Time to go back to the beginning. Kill em All. Greatest debut metal album.

Since nobody else has said it yet, Low Man's Lyric, Hero of the day and Mama said are very underrated
Dyers eve and until it sleeps as wel
One of my favorites from RTL. All three of Kirks solos in this are crazy and intense, have to love it.
true the most underrated metallica song
I used to blast this on my cassette WALK MAN ;) on my public bus & subway ride to high school ALMOST every day ....Sepultura was another but anyways ....By the time I got to school I had listened to both sides entirely . Damn right ....
Fell into the icy cold waters in boundary waters of Northern Minnesota right after spring thaw, that was a cold day.
Seeing this album live start to finish was amazing this song especially
Curious about his thoughts of Load, Reload, and St. Anger would be....
I hop he reacts to it. Load is amazing. Bleeding Me is one of my all time Metallica's fav.
Load was weak for Metallica standards, Reload was better but still pretty weak. St Anger was a bad album. I kinda get why some people like it so much, but honestly I could never enjoy it as much as the old stuff.

so right, under rated!!
Kirk Hammett wrote that main riff while he was in Exodus. Then later on in the early 2000s Exodus used that same riff in one of their songs.

Nothing better than waking up from a nap and having this as a first video in Recommended
Best record and one if my favorite songs
That's what I love about this song. It's literally about a man trapped under ice.
One of the riffs in this song, was written by Kirk whilst he was in Exodus for a song called "Impaler". You should react to that song, it's a thrash classic!
I always felt this song was written for me and the day to day struggle of an introverted loner

This has happened to me through out my whole life my mind begins waking but my body doesn't and I'm aware I can feel my subconscious trying to breath for me as I'm trying to control my breathing fighting to shake my head back and forth to wake myself its hell seems as it lasts forever but probably only a min or so before consciousness fully take over and relief settles in and I can move.
It starts with the music, then the posters, then the shirts, then the mustache
Fun fact: The main riff was written for a song for exodus which Kirk Hammett was in before he joined Metallica. They never release the song until 2004 but I think they did better justice and use of the riff on the song Impaler by Exodus. Trapped on the ice is still good but doesn’t hit as great as impaler does. Worth checking out!
I had this cassette get stuck in my 74 Lemans for a whole summer. My best friend only liked country at the time. Needless to say he was a weed smoking beer slamming metal head after that summer
Best song from the album...
I keep having a dream where it feels like I am running through treacle. Love your videos Alex xx
This is one of my favorite songs from them
