A lot of people rag on Lars for being a mediocre drummer but you got to admit the dude has some seriously fast feet.
Fast feet? I find it really basic for thrash Metal, just listen to Death metal Drummers. That shit is actualy insane.
Lars does deserve praise for many things. But I wouldn't say fast feet is one of those things
@@vosoryan specially if we talk about his feet work after the 2000's 🤭
This is his best most interesting work
@@vosoryan I’m taking about the hear and now, and no I’m not trying to compare him to thrash dudes. Just an observation especially this album. Good song to hear it on is Shortest Straw. Great double kick
Metallica are the only band where i can listen to their songs a million times and still feel like its the first theyre that good
I was 15 when this album came out. It still affects me in an amazingly good way. And it starts off with this one (first tune on the first side of the tape). Too good.
I'll give you a BIG HELL YEAH ON THAT BROTHER!!!! Was in my senior high school year when this came out. Couldn't stop playing the cassette, within a year it was worn out, had to buy another one LOL, THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS
I've lost loads of brain cells head banging to Metallica ....... great vid guys.... Love this channel
We all did!😂 \m/
Favorite Metallica song!!!!!! Caused many speeding tickets when I was in my young 20s
Good call Bro. Shortest Straw though, c’mon!
@@stueyboyrob5447 The low breakdown in the solo crushes me every time!
FUN FACT:
Primus singer, bassist Les Claypool auditioned to be the bassist for Metallica.
Not surprising.
AJFA is my fav Metallica album in their catalogue! Every track is a banger, bad bass mix or not. 🤘🏻
Mine too! Never even noticed the bass issue till someone mentioned it.
This is the first Metallica song that got radio play in my city growing up - it was pretty wild to hear that.
Blackened on radio? Nuts, I might be too young to know if it was the case in my area. Also didn't follow charts much or radio back then.
Definitely wasn't Blackened. You're probably thinking about One
I saw this tour 2 fucking awesome I want more
Stood in line for hours and show sold out...still saddens me.
Same!!! I will see them for the 11th time at Cowboys Stadium this August 18th & 20th!! WOOOHOOO
Finally got to see them in 1998.
Same Bro. First live gig I ever saw. Glasgow! (I think they knew where they were 😆)
20:00 dude I love for being the only reaction channel to point this part out. Everyone else just doesn't even acknowledge it. I don't think it was an accident. Lars and James were super creative back in the day with throwing in little things here and there to throw the listener off and make them go "wtf just happened???"
This video explains in detail what happens th-cam.com/video/YRQXVCrcUz8/w-d-xo.html
@basscom77 I've seen it. It's very interesting. It must have taken lars a long time to work out a drum fill that ends on the upbeat while also making that upbeat become the downbeat. People never talk about how creative that actually is
This album is perfection. Even with the mix
It's biggest complaint is the mix. There's almost no bass.
contradiction
I agree. I never had a problem with the mix. Never even noticed the bass issue till someone mentioned it.
I remember I was in high school and first heard them at Monsters of Rock in Indy in 1988. Changed my music world.
The "problem" is, this is the first song on the album. I find myself playing it at least 3 times before continuing with the rest of the album. Then, after I've heard the entire album, I play "Blackened" 3 more times. Because... where do you go from there?
'ONE' song to rule them all
No where. None more Blackened
Shortest straw is up there tbh
New Albany, IN here.....Enjoy your Reactions guys !
Like you, that solo gives me the stank face every time. I love it every damn time I hear it.
Can't wait!!! Metallica in their prime
Respect to Newstead btw. Those egos must be a lot to deal with. Egos that create exceptional music btw.
I did not read the previous comments, but I do know that whenever Metallica/Lars records drums, they do several takes of each song. Then they splice them together to get the best sounding drum track.
And Justice For All was recorded differently as well. Not only did they do several takes, but rumor has it Lars played each section by itself several times and then they put it all together at the end.
The time changes and tempo changes are recorded with a metronome or click track, so that is how they could put together each part of the drums.
Sorry if this is confusing.
Metallica are so BADASS!!! Love this Band!!!!
This is by far their most complex album. In that one part, James is playing the upbeat instead of the downbeat for those two measures. He does this in Leper Mesiah, and Dimebag does it a lot too.
P.S. cool groove moment at the end of Darkness Had a Son! 😮💨🤘😂
That is my favorite part of this song...its like going backwards for two measures and putting it back into drive
This video explains exactly what is going on at that moment. All down to Lars th-cam.com/video/YRQXVCrcUz8/w-d-xo.html
Yea, I always listen for it. That and the similar move in the 3rd verse of Sad but True
Lyrically and musically, this truly could be Darth Vader's theme song.
Lars fills here are some of his best
Because back in those days he was solely in competition with James's guitar parts.
True dat Bro 🤘
The drumming on this and the black album are my favourite from lars
his skills here are on top!
also Leper Messiah is so fun to listen to from drums perspective, im not even a drummer lol
One of my favorites of all of their songs. Gotta check out Ride The Lightening and Battery. So many more great songs guys, keep em coming
80's Metallica was the best run of metal by any group, ever! And it's not even close!
Oh hell yeah!! 🔥🤘🔥🤘
Newsted's Bass solo for My Friend of Misery is legendary, it shows how talented he truly is!
EDIT: he was the one who actually wrote it. He expected it to be an instrumental track on the Black Album, but it ended up being a regular song.
Metallica was a cheat code!
This song is in my top 5 Metallica's songs!
One of James’s top 5 riffs, shit is just so damn hard….very fun to play yourself
Jason newsted top 5 riffs ;)
I was 11 when this album came out. I saved money just to buy it... Still after all these years it's still in my possession
That "weird" rhythm shift that you guys talk about at the end of the video, is indeed drums doing that. I always digged it for years but for years didn't know technically what was going on there, and it's a very clever trick to shift the beat there. Lars is basically shifting the beat, the upbeat becomes downbeat, notice that right after the solo when he does that tom/floor tom fill, he does one extra hit on it, and that extra hit jumps into the next bar, so starting from that bar and for another one, there seems to be some kind of "problem" but it's completely deliberate. At the end of second bar of that "weird" feel, Lars cuts the snare fill about the same amount that he lengthened the mentioned tom/floor tom fill, and the guitar riff therefore locks in place again, although the guitar plays exactly the same riff all the time, through that "weird" moment and forward :) It's great, it's making the riff sounding different, feeling different, because it's accented different, I think it's awesome. Metallica did that kind of stuff, Fight Fire With Fire is another great example of making listener "confused" by doing verse vocals accenting the downbeat, not the upbeat, so you think the snare hits are upbeat, they are not in construction though. It's awesome. Also, for decades I wasn't aware that the Blackened intro is guitars played backwards, I first heard AJFA album in like 1992 or sth like that, and I got to know about the backwards thing in like 2010 ;) Cheers!
Metal ! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks 502.
Probably first music album I ever owned. It was on tape, it was a copy ... lol. After that I went more punk with Green Day Dookie and Offspring Smash but it was always part of my top 2 genre. Metal and Punk. Its the first album I will ever put on when I have road trip or fly somewhere.
AGFA is a very deep and very harsh album. Have some deep lyrics and some of the best riffs and guitar solo. “And justice for all” and “ frayed ends of sanity” are just on a different level.and “to live is to die” and “ dyers eve” are just perfect duel!!
*AJFA
@insiddious Noooooo….:(
@insiddious Noooooo….:(
@@insiddiousAJFA is just a myth. It’s actually AGFA (And Gustice for All)
Great reaction guys 🤘
Metallicas best song hands down!!!!!!
So happy to see this thumbnail!
When I first heard this album Shortest Straw was my favorite because it really encapsulated what I felt. The solo is Kirk’s best, imho.
I have to respectfully disagree. Frayed Ends of Sanity solo is a god damn face melter. Blackened is def in my top 3 I think
I'm going to have to agree with you both. Hard to chose one, they're all FANTASTIC
Great reaction guys! I've been learning about the music I've listened to for decades from your channel.
Around this time and being a full on Metallica fan, myself, along with my friends (and probably every fan), didn't know how the band would recover or even go down that road after Cliff's death. It was the most traumatic since Randy Rhoad's death that most of us knew of for the bands we loved. And Justice for All is proof they came back with a vengeance and did not die when Cliff did. This one hit hard.
Main riff written by Jason \m/ \m/
I thought that weird section was the guitar, also.
There's a drummer on YT who slows it down and shows it.
Lars does a fill which brings him back 1/16th late (or early?) (for 4 bars?)
Then he does another fill and it brings him back on time.
They don't play this section (nor the end of the solo) anymore. Not sure why.
Spot on, you mean this video th-cam.com/video/YRQXVCrcUz8/w-d-xo.html
I didnt read all the comments, but I wonder how many people actually know that the intro is a recording of James playing which they play back in reverse?
Absolute fucking class song
Cool reaction AJFA will be 35years old in Sept it still sounds GD as can be And u guys have GD headphones 🎧🎧 to listen to this classic song. That what count to.
I love this album & this track... one of my favorite live experiences seeing them on this tour with Queensryche as the opener... the falling, tumbling stage with the Metallica encore was just perfect... it was especially a big deal in Phoenix with Jason Newsted having come from the local band Flotsam and Jetsam, playing his first Phoenix show with Metallica.
Metallica AND Queensryche?! What a show!!!
@@mjm5081 Yeah, that was just a bit before Empire blew up for QR, both bands were sooo good that night.
@@danjmcs Love Empire! Mindcrime is amazing, but Empire is my go to!
Yeah, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so i followed these guys as they grew so much as a band from the EP to Warning, Rage, to Mindcrime. For me they lost some edge after DeGarmo left the band, but love me some QR, especially those first five records.
Garage Days with Jason before Justice is great and the bass is clear. Check it.
Seen this tour they opened with this. It went crazy😂
I didn't know it was mother earth either... 😕and I wore this "tape" out. LOL. And no I'm not Dusty. But seriously, what a bridge, amazing.
Jason Newsted earned his stripes with Flotsam and Jetsam one of the most underrated metal bands ever! They don't get the credit they deserve and are still around Kicking Ass! Hope you guys check em out! 🤟😎🤟
Iron tears 🤘
Saw them at the Mason Jar in the 80s in college, great times!
Imagine what this would have sounded like with BASS!
The isolated bass track is beastly!!!! It’s on TH-cam. Deadshits behind the mixing desk
I always thought this album had the best leads Kirk Hammet has done.
💯
Nothing better than Metallica in 90's SO TIGHT!
You guys gotta do a reaction on Metallica 's song "Fade to Black" from their album "Ride the Lightning "....that's a really dark song...keep up the great insights and reactions Brothers 🤙
th-cam.com/video/3lIg1K81_SM/w-d-xo.html
Fuck yeahhhh
The Live in Seattle 1989 version is great, Hell, the whole concert is great and Metallica at their peak.
Metallica’s AJFA album is a badass really badass, so good, too good, one of their very best masterpiece i love you AJFA album
So I'm not the only one who notices the weird drum thing towards the end.
Wished they could have kept that guitar tone
Metallica named their line of whiskey Blackened
There is a fan made version called And Justice For Jason. I've been listening to only that version for years now. It sounds great with the bass, and heavier. There is only one version that did it right, most of them pump the bass up way too high
As much as I am pissed they turned the bass down (it's the one bad decision they made with the album), I still love this album.
Please do a reaction for the title track next!🤘🏻 And Justice for All!
favorite Hammett solo.
Best album for me.Shortest straw favourite song
God bless Kirk Hammett
Jason still lives out here in the Walnut Creek area
Having seen their Behind the Music a few times. You can tell 10 years after Cliff's death - they were still shaken and not over it. they even admitted that they treated Jason bad. But they did not want to replace Cliff. So if this was the next album after - then they clearly had some things to work out. I don't know this like i know their other songs! The drums , at the beginning!!!! Like the transition at 9:04.The passion when you talk about this song shows! Didn't have much of an intro (like they usually do), but the solos are so good. They have just a magic from conception to execution of a song! 17:03-17:30 (My favorite part) Good ending to the marathon!
For Whom the Bell Tolls intro is that magic - I was talking about! Listened to that intro a few times - It is just so good!
@Nick & @Ty, did they play this one when you saw them live?
Off topic🙃, will you guys be doing a livestream this year? Pleeeze!
20:00 is a guitar change tho.. hes doing the riff backwards.. if i remember correctly instead of E 0 -to A 7 its A 7 to E 0 and because of that you hear the high pitch A string 7th fret first into the bassy open E string.. i was like a kid at a candy store when i was learning this song
It may be lacking bass but honestly AJFA imo is their best sounding album.
Not a spare, but all strikes
The concert for the Damaged Justice tour was insane. To date, it’s still the best concert I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen Metallica at least 15 times over the years and while they’ve been great every time, nothing has ever topped the Justice tour. I know it’s messed up, but it had to be the combo of anger over Cliffs death fueled by booze. As far as I know, they’ve never played drunk, at least according to James. He has said he never wanted to cheat the fans by being so drunk that they put on a shitty show. However, on that tour, they were drinking excessively after each show and they were obviously still angry and grieving. It shows over the entire AJFA album.
Its hard to explain but your conversation about the change around 20 minutes in is the guiter. The riff starts on the 7th fret of the A string followed my an open E muted for the first two measures....on the 3rd and 4th measures they start with the open E muted then the 7th fret
They were all very pissed off on this album. And the musoc shows it
The bass in the remaster is way better. Honestly, hearing the bass is nice, but it doesn't really change the feeling of the songs that much.

No one touches Metallica , they groove, they crunch, the vocals are mean, sorry they have it all , this is why they are the most popular metal band in history
Absolutely
Megadeth is better tho
Pantera - A New Level....Studio version!
Transitions... Nick... Lars really went all out in this record compared to the previous
I don't fall for the whole, "they didn't like Jason" thing. Bass isn't heavy on RTL or MoP. It's featured, but it's not like bass was heavy on those albums. A lot of the time, the bass was so thin, and distorted that it sounded like a guitar.
Imagine Cliff being told....uh were turning down your bass on this album lol
Curious, in that end section, doesn't the chord progression change as well as the beat? Not a guitar player, but did play strings for roughly 15 years thru school, it always sounded like those chords flipped the pattern

❤❤ what's up gentlemen? Please listen to more Al Stewart songs. Like, Broadway Hotel, Midas Shadow, Midnight Rocks, Timeless Skies, End of The Day...
The only thing that could make this album better is a better mix. Everything else about it is near on perfect.
Still hoping for some APRIL WINE!!!
They did Roller a little while ago
I jammed to this album excessively back in the day, amazing album! Too bad they minimized Jason's base so much though...
Bass even
Master Of Puppets is 🔥
Lars drum parts go out of phase with the guitar riff and resolve when the lyrics resume. Nobody plays any slower and no, it's no accident, it's composed that way. After all, Metallica is the most progressive of the Big Four.
If you to mix things up react to Tori Amos "Crucify"
When Metallica was a great band!
F bombs dropping
Wait til you get to Shortest Straw.
only bad thing in this album is the bass that we cant hear :(
Like night at the roxbury but way better!!
This album was my soundtrack junior year, saw them twice on this tour, in Oakland, the guys let Jason try to play Anastasia Pulling Teeth, James, Kurt and Lars all left the damn stage, poor Jason barely had a full minute in before he was boo'd off, fans weren't done mourning Cliff either, there was no chance in hell Jason had the right to even attempt it, and the other 3 knew it, they set him up and the fans relished in punishing Jason to no end, poor dude😅
sietecuarenta. Aguante.
Where are the women! About time to play some Janis Joplin - ball & chain live? or summertime live
There is Metallica being played, back of the line please!
@@gunsgoodtime 😂
This was there last greatest album
This is lars best album
James and kirks best album too
For the love of god will any of these reaction channels step up and do Skull fracturing nightmare by Demolition Hammer?
Lars and Hetfield have gone on the record saying that they were hazing Newstead. Lars went so far as to tell the engineer to lower the volume on the bass across the songs. People have tried remixing some of the songs to fix the bass. th-cam.com/video/vumrar1k928/w-d-xo.html
