Anselmo saying Creeping Death is just as heavy as the song.
Well said
Yes
Yep
Almost sounds like Bautista
They played it together in Mexico City 30 april 1999. I was there. Awesome!!!
Orion was and still is one of the most unique songs in that part of metal
Thats what im saying
I played that one for my very stodgy, classical loving dad. His response: "I can see why you like that. That's actually good music!"
Most Definitely
Its just so different, it’s awesome
A masterpiece
2:45 I love the way Geezer just appears sitting on the couch like a regular guy. This sir is simply a supreme god of Metal. The greatest metal bassist ever 🤘🏻💀
Bruh i didn’t even see him at first lol I love Geezer
This guy inspired Cliff Burton and many other many metal bassist.
I was paying attention to guy talking, but all of a sudden I just perceive "IS THAT GEEZER BUTLER, WHY THE FUCK THE DONT ASK HIM"
Just found out Geezer wrote most of the lyrics for Sabbath. What a legend.
@@4Realzeaz Ozzy-Sabbath, yes. Paranoid-beyond being incredibly heavy-is one of the best albums in terms of lyrical cohesion that I've every heard. To think tha tthey recorded that whole record in two weeks is unbelievable.
Geezer's an underappreciated legend.
The Shortest Straw. That raw energy of that song still gives me goosebumps. And the drum is sick in that song. Unbeatable.
Definitely the peak of Lars. He never got better. Damage Inc. is their best song though.
Holy shit that's a great one indeed
Absolutely agree! It also contains one of Kirk's very unique solos!
Certainly a hot take but fair
Jason Newsted was the backbone of the best version of metallica.
When you finally see other Disposable Heroes fans
*I'm so proud of this community*
Ya..what the hell? Nobody in the video mentioned it...they just mentioned the 'hits'.
G.O.A.T
My people.
Disposable Heroes is definitely my favorite, can't believe no one mentioned it. MoP & Creeping Death are pretty damn awesome too tho, so at least they picked those.
Honestly, the B side of Master of Puppets is the greatest thing done in the HM genre
Disposable Heroes.
Monster rhythm, incredible solo. Everything about it is flawless.
Disposable heroes is their most underrated song. It is an absolute masterpiece
It was OK. Felt like a song that was way too long; long for the sake of being long. They could have trimmed a minute or two from it.
Yup
@@Morbutt yeah I think a lot of Metallica songs in that era were about "we can play better than anyone and so we're going to play 10 min songs just to rub that in your faces", but the songs were still masterpieces.
Back in '87, Disposable Heroes was the first song I'd heard of theirs and it made me say, "who the fuck are these guys and how much more is there?!?"
It's still my favorite song.
"No Leaf Clover" is my personal favorite. Their performance with the S&M orchestra was magical.
Yep!!! Was there in Berkeley too!!! Fuck yeah!!
Did you not listen to the first four albums?
@@smmusicplus96 of course he has.
Have you ever heard any other Metallica song?
@@378MUSKIESLAYER he has.
Sad But True is in my top five. My seventy-year-old mother loves that song. "It brings tears to my eyes..." she says.
Sad But True got me into metal as a fresh new hit song.. it's easily in my Top 3
Fade to black that guitar conveys more emotion then I have ever heard in a song
Cemetery gates by pantera and so far away by avenged sevenfold are also great examples of having wonderful emotion in guitar
@Shane Culliton I wonder what your favorite Metallica album is?🧐
@Shane Culliton I was joking because it’s your profile picture, but mine is RTL as well
@@seanmcadams1216 hey what’s your favourite Meshuggah album? Bit off-topic but I’m curious so
@@chokovok7231 funny enough it’s actually Koloss, although I like the album cover for obZen better which is why it’s my pfp, wbu?
Phil saying creeping death is the best thing ive ever heard.
Yes
absolutely!!!! i was just laughing my ass off cause he picked my all time favorite pick
Here's an underrated masterpiece: Trapped Under Ice is my favourite Metallica shredder. I love the intro solo where Kirk sort of spools up the tempo and then absolutely let's it rip into some of the saddest and fastest riffing in their arsenal. Also some of James' fastest and most aggressive singing. The whole song is full of explosive energy that sticks true to the first album, it's not mid tempo chuggy pounding like most of the stuff thereafter.
Fuck yes
Yeah !
Hell yeah man, happy to read that one
Never get sick of FADE TO BLACK, but I just love FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS when they sing it live. Keep smiling🤘🙂
I love talking to metalhead about metal. It's a whole language in and of itself
Metalhead language most common words: heavy chug djent tone axe gain shred
@@LawrenceGaming da chug chug and a brwwwŵwwwwwwwrrrwwwrwrrrrrwwwrrrrwrw
Yeah, especially going to a concert, you meet people that feel like you've been friends for years.
@@KTF0 For real?
@@Mitchery Ive been to metal concerts, I can confirm his words
Dyers Eve never gets enough respect
St. Anger never gets respect...
It's not there best song, but Phantom Lord gets no respect either.
Dyer's Eve for me, hands down
which i dont understand, because is the most Metallica powerful song
@@mfree80286 as it SHOULDNT
I have a unpopular opinion, Fight Fire with Fire because I honestly don’t know I just love it.
Though not my favorite it is the most special for me, first Metallica Song I ever heard. Intro: “this is weird classical music” then 🤯. Hooked for life 🤩
It's the track I used to put on the 6th Form Common room stereo. Everybody looking at me, like, what's this classical guitar shit and then bang. I just sat back and smiled.
Definitely their most underrated song
I love that song.
My first Metallica song. Sitting on the school bus with my cassette Walkman with a tape my friend said you gotta listen. Music changed at that point.
Personally, I have to say Orion. The reason I think so highly of Orion in particular is because it's so different from the rest of Metallica's catalog. It's still heavy but the melodies are technical and beautiful, it's easily the best bass performance we get from a Metallica song, and Lars's drumming is just the cherry on top. No lyrics even required, just a breathtaking instrumental and a testament to the musical prowess of Cliff Burton. I truly think it was their masterpiece song from their masterpiece album.
To live is to die: it’s a masterpiece of instrumental.
yesssssir. I've made it clear that better be played at my funeral
Such an excellent tune,Orion gets all the love and it’s definitely great but I think To Live...perfected the Metallica instrumental
I think the Call Of Ktulu is better, but that's my opinion. To live is to die is also good 🙂
Anesthesia is my way to go I love the raw ness and distortion to it and love when the drums kick in
and orion
The fact that blackened wasn’t even mentioned
Blackened is probably my personal favorite it is what got me into metal itself
Is too long and boring. Like everything in AJFA.
@@H.E.M. ?????
Rust in Peace >>>> AJFA
Don’t @ me
Thank Jason Newstead for that one. Genius
Dyer's Eve is definitely my favorite. It's super fast and heavy while James is clearly pissed off because hes singing about something that's clearly a raw nerve for him just adds that extra element to it
That song was my metal turning point. That album came out when I was in 8th grade and that song blew my mind. I was into crappy hair metal and hearing that I wanted more faster and aggressive music.
I love Dyer's Eve damn, it's sad they don't play it live (probably because it's obscenely hard to play lol)
This song was written in memory of Cliff
@@gustavovasconcelos9857 lars lol
Eye of the Beholder
The lyrics are just spot on about today's world
Great song
"Freedom of speech is words that they will bend" is the best lyric I've ever heard in any song ever.
It's fucking awesome song, they MUST play it one more time live
Yes
It's like asking "who's ur favorite child"
@chris smith Sad but TRUE
That question is easier to answer tbh
I’m like “Ever heard of Disposable Heroes?!”
I review metallica albums on my channel if anyone is interested
Oh hey man I’m subbed to your channel by the way loved your alter bridge review you did and the tribute to Eddie at the beggining
@@yeetfeet1878 yeah, my phone was being weird and letting me respond to you directly on my fortress video.... thanks so much, I never got to see VH in concert which I hate, but we'll always have his songs!
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
My thought exactly! (Ever hear of...DH)
After reading a lot of the comments below, i cant believe nobody mentioned" the four horsemen" truly an underrated masterpiece.
The video did
Written by Dave Mustaine
@@ilovehmetal666 Mustaine fans are delusional.
"Fight Fire with Fire" is my favorite. Brutal and merciless.. the music equivalent to war. Nothing sounded like it at the time.
I find your lack of Four Horseman disturbing.
Mechanix
@@chrisschuler2278 No lawsuit no foul
@@tightmf I know I'm just more a fan of megadeth and like poking fun at their former rivalry
Good call man. I said Hit the lights but there are just too many. If i had to name a top ten itd probably all be Kill em all songs and covers
cover
I’d say a tie between Blackened and Disposable Heroes, IMO
I totally agree.
disposable and the thing that should not be
Exactly both are kinda my favorite but I also love "one" and "escape
I would say Disposable
It's a 3 way tie between those 2 and Damage, Inc. for me. Maybe 4-way, My Apocalypse is insanely addictive
Ride the lightning “ is the ultimate heavy metal epic.
So many to choose from but I'll throw one in there that hasn't been mentioned: Wherever I May Roam. That first minute takes me from super chill to pure adrenaline. Love the lyrics too. "By myself but not alone" and "My body lies but still I roam" has stuck with me since i was 7 years old. Currently 33 y.o.
Love that song too!!!! The Anthem of the Gypsy!!!!!
The Call of Ktulu. One of the best metal instrumental songs ever written. Its like a timeless classical song.
Hangar 18? Mustaine?
@@MsCristyful Ktutlu takes Hangar 18 .. and if you are thinking about those riffs that sound similar. that line is pretty basic really. Can be found in many songs prior those two. For example Kashmir.
@@Atlas65 listen here that exact note structure was taken and recreated by Dave in both bands but you obviously know which solo is better right the amount of virtuosity in Marty Friedman's notes are way more advanced and orgasmic compared to the bluesy little ktulu licks yes both are good but lets get real which song is better musically obviously theres more music in 18
It sucks
@@MsCristyful music is subjective
I love Phil Anselmo's input in these interviews.
I'm surprised he didn't just yell "white power"
@@user-yi7td2sq9b get over it. It's an old story.
@@patrickanselmo6615 yeah man get over racism 😐
@@jayceeguitar he apologized. What else should he do?
@@patrickanselmo6615 we know he has it doesn’t mean that people are going to ignore it
...And Justice For All, itself. For me, it's like the peak of it, has everything, heaviness, trashines, lyrics, drums, harmony. If you look at the Remix and Remastered version of Ahdy is like going to heaven.
For me, the most complete, meaningful, Metallica song.
Here is an easier question - What is the best MetallicA album?
Personally I’m a Ride the Lightning guy.
Agreed
Im a MOP guy, but i won't argue the point.
All of the first ones with cliff are the absolute best. Justice is great too.
We have this one guy in our group. Every single time there's a party, without fail, at some point in the night he will ask what everyone's favorite Metallica album is, and we have the whole conversation all over again. Shout out to Nick!
Kill em all ride the lighting or ... And justice for all
I know I might be alone, but I love “Fight Fire with Fire” and “Ride the Lightning.” Those songs are the heaviest.
I love playing fight fire with fire on drums
Heard Fight Fire last time I saw them! Blown away!
Ride The Lightning is one of my favorites too, a bit surprised I haven’t seen many people say it
You are not alone!
Yeah, the RTL solo is absolutely awesome . . .
Ride the Lightning is the ultimate metallica song in my opinion. Epic in every way. And that solo, holy shit.
Totally agree with you. The best album
Yes, the solo is epic!
Yes, not my favorite anymore, but Master of Puppets and Ride the lightning scream metallica, describes the band real well. I think it's kirks best solo.
Kirk can up with the name of the song from steven kings the stand. But it was written by James, lars, clif, and the last song with dave
Yooo Fight Fire With Fire is where it's at! That solo, it's just way too good and otherworldly.
I really wanna say “St. Anger” just to piss everyone off. LOL 😂 But, on a serious note, it’s “Master of Puppets” for me. That song was brilliantly assembled in the 7th level of Hell. Pure genius…
hehe st anger, some of their live versions of it ain't half bad
creeping death is the best though
DAMN AND IVE BEEN AT 6TH LEVEL.... OF THEM FLAMES🔥🔥🔥🔥
BUT TO BE AT THE 7TH LEVEL....
Okay but Frantic wasn't SO bad 😂
Not gonna lie..... I actually like st. Anger. Im sorry but that song pumps me up here an there when i work out.
@@MrLEE-pf6fv I dont understand a lot of the st anger slander. It's not that bad 🤷♀️🤣
I would spend days deciding which one is my favorite. But what I do assure you is that it is among these 6:
Dyers Eve, One, The Shortest Straw, Blackened, Disposable Heroes and Spit Out The Bone. That's for sure
Metallica - One , starting slower , after it kicks up , with great drum rythm and guitarwork . Best metal song ever imho .
One is fucking iconic
One is the stairway to heaven of metal
@@isopropyltoxicity and M.o.P is the kashmir of thrash metal
Kicks ass would be better
@@isopropyltoxicity overplayed and overrated?
My favorite is 'One', but then there's Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Fight Fire With Fire, Disposable Heroes, Phantom Lord, Seek and Destroy, Orion, Call of Kthulu, Harvester of Sorrow, Master of Puppets, Battery, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The Things That Should Not Be, King Nothing, Until it Sleeps, Sad But True, Hit the Lights, For Whom The Bell Tolls and so many other great songs not too far behind
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is a classic... bit where’s Creeping Death on your list?
@@howardweingard43 He basically loves all and hasn't the patience to type the whole early discography. Lol
@@simonettacarsonelli Same here
I’m surprised to see almost no mention of seek and destroy
One is always my favorite. The emotion in that song sends rumbling chills through me, because i have met first world war veterans, and it makes me teary eyed to this day. The way it transitions into that ultra heavy thrash part with the dark lyrics and that solo, jeezus.
“Darkness,
imprisoning me,
all i see
absolute horror
I cannot love
I cannot die
Trapped in my soul
Body my holding cell”
Objectively Master of Puppets, but...
My favourite is Fight Fire With Fire, multiple reasons why:
-The intro Bach-inspired harmony
-The jaw-dropping 'complex riff'
-The James' evil "We all shall die"
-Kirk's solo + the drunk harmonizing
-The first Lars double bass section (Horsemen 's one is just a gallop)
-the "bomb drop" ending
I am no guitarist but I always felt fight fire with fire to the their simplest song riff wise..
@@derekobs9688 Not the very first riff (that's just brutal downpicking), I meant the 2nd riff, THAT'S the complex one. Sure, the rest of the song may not be that complex to play, but it offers so much cool stuff.
Disposable Heroes, Blackened, The Thing That Should Not Be, Orion, And Justice For All, Fight Fire
Dude, add Damage Inc and Harvester of Sorrow to that, and you got my list!
I love blackened
@@Dwendele i love those two as well
Disposable Heroes, Escape, Metal Militia, And Justice For All
Finally some one saying escape
Disposable Heroes is HANDS DOWN the GREATEST Metallica song of ALL TIME. IMO.
And justice for all / blackened / trapped under ice / ride the lightning.
Yes, Escape is great, finally someone said it!
Disposable is my favorite by far.
That last story covered me in goosebumps. \m/
My favorite ever is Damage Inc. What a sick riff it has and nobody mentioned it hehe
The 4 part bass harmony intro is what does it for me with that track.
The Thing That Should Not Be is killer, especially the live in Seattle in ‘89 version! James almost seems like he is possessed during that performance!
Especially in the last refrain when he sings "Face the thing that should not be". Seattle '89 was probably their best ever concert ngl
It's almost like he dwells in madness...
They were talking about the heaviest riffs and all that and im here like.. no mention of the thing that should not be? That whole song just feels like you have a huge mountain on your head heavy.
89 Seattle concert is in a class of its own
I have so many favorites but “The thing that should not be” really sticks out. Welcome Home(Sanitarium) really helped me out through some “rough” times as an adolescent coming of age. So many great memories
The Thing That Should Not Be is Hetfield's favorite song. At least it was
im listening to welcome home right now, and i know exactly what you mean
The Thing that Should not Be is pretty underrated imo, it’s such a good song
Welcome home (Sanitarium) helped me too.
Sanitarium is severely underrated!
"What is Metallica´s greatest song?"
YES
If talking about live stuff, I once heared Leper Messiah live maybe from Italy? 20 years ago on cassetre? And the bass sound was just so damned heavy, crushing, screaming.... I still remember the feeling of awe... Unfortunately I have not been able to find that version since then :(
Dyer's Eve
The Thing That Should Not Be
Harvester Of Sorrow
100% all the way
Oooohh Dyers Eve🤘
TTSNB is SEVERELY underrated
Dear mother dear fatherugh
Me as an intellectual:
The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
I see you are a man of culture as well
@@HectorReyes-lm7xp This is such a cultured thread i must say,
Yes.
Yeah 🤘
I can definitely agree
Unforgiven. Such an amazing song. Belongs in the Museum of History
Four Horsemen and Battery are my personal favs. They got me hooked on extreme metal forever.
Because Metallica are such a commercial success, they pretty much blew the doors wide open to the world of metal and introduced it too so many.
Too bad the metal acts didn't follow like the '80s metal followed the '70s metal. Now I feel like an outsider when it comes to new metal. Guitarists either noodle or chug, singers do that growl mumble unless it's symphonic metal and then they just shreek, drummers often have triggers and bass players are irrelevant unless the band has no guitarists.
@Phil Kirk I don't believe only the absolute underground is following the Iron Maiden style of metal. Even Metallica seems beyond the ability of many of these metal bands.
Sabbath fucks zeppelin talking about who is heavier
@John James You have no idea what you are talking about
@@Masivemaster Zeppelin is just heavy blues, so yea not metal
Somebody should have said Escape just to piss off Hatefield.
HAHAHA
James Hatefield
Escape is a banger though. When they played it by request you could see Jaymz instinctually nodding his head like 'O shit, maybe I was wrong about this one.'
No one mentions The Four Horsemen, but I love that song.
That story right there at the end gave me chills. Cool story, bro.
- What Is Metallica's Greatest Song?
- Yes.
Best answer PERIOD!!
Not so sure. I can't listen to anything after Justice. Its just not good.
Exactly
Orion.
Yeah St Anger
So far NO ONE has mentioned The Frayed Ends of Sanity
Yep. Frayed ends of Sanity and Thing that Should not be are my personal favourites
Bcuz that the worst song on justice if there was one
@@moseyballad7954 nah dude the incredibly powerful use of the A# tritone in the main riff is huge. And of course the extremely fast thrash riff near the solo
@@moseyballad7954 no. If there jad to be a worst. To live is to die. I like it
Its fucking cool. Ill admit it
But ive never been big on it. My big hit was dyers eve or frsyed ends
I was scrolling to find this comment, THANK YOU!
Frayed Ends of Sanity, numero uno. That song has tons of amazing riffs.
Proof why James is one of the best metal rhythm guitarists ever!
That story at the end is cool as hell🤘
4:42 Yes! Ty! Black Album was my intro to Metallica as well. But Master of puppets, Memory Remains and Until it sleeps are mine currently in this phase of life.
Fight Fire with Fire, Battery, and Blackened are the best Metallica openers. They’re the songs that for three albums straight, diehard Metallica fans probably popped in each of those records for the first time and were able to verify to themselves right away that they were not going to be let down.
Does anyone think that trapped under ice is a really underrated song.
It would make a list of “Top 10 most underrated songs in all of metal.”
Trapped under ice is my favorite Metallica song of all time!
One of my favs
One of my favs
'SCREAM! From my soul!
FATE! Mystified!
HELL! Forever more!"
The whole section is fucking insanely amazing
For. Me i always flip flop between One, Orion, & Sanitarium.
Orion just perfect, and the fact it's just the 4 of them just hamming, no words, makes it 100% better!
If I had to pick, it's One.
That song not only conveys the pain and suffering of the soldier, but when the kick drums and chugs hit, it's life you're taken instantly to the Battlefield and his tournament inside his head
DARKNESS! ....it gives me goosebumps every single time.
“One” and “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” will always have a special place in my heart
dealing with anxiety and depression 'Until it sleeps' is my favorite song because I can relate to the lyrics in some way 🤘
Me too lol
Good one bro!✌💛🤘
BLEEDING ME
I might catch some shade for this, but I think The Outlaw Torn is up there with their best songs. What a freakin masterpiece, especially live, that’s overlooked by so many
This is what i was looking for!
I prefer the s&m or s&m2 versions but yeah I agree nonetheless
Underrated af
Such a killer song
YES! Load and Reload don't get enough respect. I would add Bleeding Me, Fixxxer, and Carpe Diem Baby.
Never have and never will pick favorites when it comes to things like that. Favorite songs, favorite bands, favorite drummers, etc. Ever since I was quite young and people would ask me my favorite color they would hear something like "well that depends I like my oranges orange, my bananas yellow, the sky blue, etc.
With music I absolutely need a variety for different purposes and moods and there is too much amazing music out there for me to put such a label on it.
Anesthesia Pulling Teeth going into Whiplash is my favorite. Yes two songs, but they just flow into each other so well to make one epic song.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium). A Masterpiece.
Ye
Sameeee
@Shane Culliton my kinda people here. It's goes through the full spectrum of Metallica.
this is so underrated
My fav song is def Welcome Home
Dude dyers eve is just so good,that solo is when Kirk said “no more messing around”😂
God it is tough,my choices are “to live is to die” “Master of puppets” “Ride the lightning” “One”
“Creeping death” and “The unforgiven”.Personally my favorite album is between justice and master of puppets
Good call man, 'To Live is To Die is the song that made me a fan.
Dyers Eve, is such a great choice
Dyers eve is absolutelly killer, so fucking fast
For me Dyers Eve is one of Hammett's best works, along with Ride the Lightning and Blackened.
Idk about favorite song, but the riff at 0:40 in Leper Messiah is perhaps the best piece of music ever written.
There are so many! I am biased to Kill 'Em All, but the song I always come back to is Blackened. The intro to the brutal riff is perfect.
4 horseman. Kill em all was an awesome album.
Yea thats one of my favourites too!
You mean Mechanix? That's Dave's song!
Honestly, without controversy, most of that album was written by Dave:)
@@gersongomez6501 True. But 4 Horsemen is also played way too slow and has a much shittier ballad style guitar solo. They took all the aggression out of the song.
I'll take the angry mechanic over a horse with no balls.
Close enough... we all know Dave's a beast.
Phil Anselmo is so down to earth. He himself is a god of metal.
And a nutcase 😆
If I was that high I'd be "so down to earth" too 😂😂😂
Being chill doesn't make you down to earth
Blackened is a song that always is on play in the back of my mind. I first heard it when I was four and it changed my life. Never heard anything that sounded so dangerous and exciting until then and it blew my mind!
The intro to battery(the electric guitar one) is one of the greatest intros ever, it's just so incredibly brutal and melodic and with 4 guitars, it just sounds fricking huge.
Nobody talking about Ride The Lightning or To Live Is To Die? Damn okay
Lol the comment right under yours was like RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!
Ride the Lightning possibly my favorite album, then Kill em all, then master of puppets. Notice most these favorites in the comments are from later albums, you can always tell who the real early fans were 😉👍
To live is to die.. and orion are my favourite..
@@crystaloffrost exactly mine too
That guy said it right... "You can't go wrong with Metallica" .... tons of great anthems of different styles. I'm totally OK with someone saying Creeping Death, Master, Fade, One or even with Enter Sandman... tons of quality songs. Metallica is legendary
Fight fire with fire. That renaissance style opening that thrusts you into a revolutionary war.
Blackened is definitely one of their best, and James voice is at its prime on this record
Yessir. Everything you need to know about the band in one song.
Outlaw torn is pretty damn underrated song
Fixxxer. Bleeding. Judas. Suicide. Clover. Disappear.
i listen more to load and reload but my favorite metallica album is and justice for all and always will be
Fantastic song. But doesn't get the credit it deserves cause it was on loud.
my favourite
@@burialofficial8913 I found my brother
Damage Inc has my favorite Metallica riff so that one
Youre talking about that gallop riff towards the end right?
You laugh we scream and shout!
@@omicron5529 yup!
@@omicron5529 the break down part.
That's my favourite part too.
Master of Puppets is the greatest metal song, and that album is the greatest album of all time. It changed metal forever. The first 4 Metallica records are phenomenal. Kill em all, Ride the lightning, Master, and And justice for all, are masterpieces. I was there from the beginning. I am in my 50s, and remember reading rock magazines and seeing a tiny little ad in the very back of the magazine advertising Metallica. Back then, anyone could pay a minimal amount, and have an advertisement placed at the end of the mag. Sometimes it was free. Like a want ads type of thing. And then came, Master of Puppets! No radio play, just underground between us all back then. The 80s were great.
Grew up on Load and Reload. Until it sleeps, King nothing, unforgiven 2, bleeding me. Soo underrated
The Unforgiven.
Super heavy verses full of anger and tension that get resolved to the beautiful chorus. Not to mention one of the most badass solos ever.
but the black album sucks
@@thewaysofthrash8883 nope black album and justice are their best albums.
@@nevermind4611 your mind is fucked then
it goes kill em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets and and justice for all
@@thewaysofthrash8883 name an album from load all the way until hardwired that comes even close to the black album
It's hilarious because you can't argue anything anyone claims because every song brought up is so good
bells was my first ever favorite song. hearing that on my uncles system, in his jeep wagoneer, just blew my mind! kill em all, the whole record man. but battery, id have to say thats my fave now. i love drummin that track man,, so good
I have three favorites that really stand out, although I love most of what Metallica has done. Creeping Death, Blackened, and Fade to Black.
In terms of heaviness and aggression, Blackened or the Four Horseman. But looking at pure melody and songwriting value, it's gotta be the Unforgiven! That song is just so unique. They broke new ground with that one
I review metallica albums on my channel if anyone is interested!
Blackened!!!
Blackened. Only because it introduced me to Metallica and heavier music in general when I was 14 back in '89. Such nostalgia for me with that song and album in general.
Hit The Lights is my all time, but MOP is pretty ground breaking. I love the songs they opened the albums MOP and Justice with too. Talk about setting the tone. Amazing!
The Shortest Straw is my favorite Metallica song.
Yeah that is an awesome song, so is No Remorse.
Yes. Shortest Straw is #1
I’ve been looking for this comment, because same!!
Simply a Masterpieces \m/ \m/
It’s in my top 20 heavy and cool solo
Its one of 4 for me, the outlaw torn, fixxxer, bleeding me, or inamorata. Long drawn out masterpeices, each one is unique country blues heavy metal anthems. James pouring his heart out
BLACKENED without a doubt hands down. Jason wrote that song and it totally shows, its probably their heaviest song of all time, i love the fast aggression it has with intro riff, and then that pummeling verse riff, and then the "breakdown" section, then it segue's into an amazing bridge into epic solo, then towards the end of the solo the tempo picks back up and it catapults you back into the main riff! GOD what a fckin song! To see them play that live when they were in their prime would be a literal dream!
Jason wrote the intro riff, not the whole song..
I'm surprised One didn't get any love. That was my intro to Metallica, watching Headbanger's Ball when I was ten years old and just being blown away by everything about that song and video.
It got a little love in this vid. Best Metallica song is such a hard fucking question with every answer being right aside from anything on St. Anger....
My favorite Metallica song is Leper Messiah. That being said though, I can probably listen to Kill Em' All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice For All in one sitting in just about whatever order you put the songs in. Everything about those first four records is just amazing.
I could probably listen to all of em too... if you took away Leper Messiah from the playlist
BOW TO LEPER MESSSSSIIIIIIAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
TUM TUM TUTUM
TUM TUTUTUM
100%
One.. Two... Oneeee twooooo treeeee four....
@@sergiomeliamarti2215 ....five!!
ONE.. it is an adventure with meaning. tragic, anger, frustration, a cry for help.. and on and on.
It’s between Blackened, The Unforgiven, Master of Puppets, or One
"Creeping Death" is their greatest song. "Disposable Heroes" is their most underrated song, IMHO......Honorable Mention to "The Thing That Should Not Be".
Their most under-rated song is on a non-album "Beyond Magnetic" and it is REBEL OF BABYLON
Imo their most underrated song is Suicide and Redemption.
Ok i think Leper Messiah is definitely the most underrated Metallica song. Its my favorite song by them and you never hear anyone talking about it.
