I think composition analysis is a good start to answering the question of who’s the greatest metal band, but there are more factors at play. Not just technical prowess but using it tastefully, overall heaviness, maybe even album sales and number of albums total. I would have to say Cannibal Corpse is definitely near the top right now. 15 albums deep and they still manage to make every album and every song different enough to stay interesting without traveling outside their genre. Now that’s commitment. I’m not gonna say speed should be a factor because wether you prefer fast or slow is too subjective. That’s why technical prowess. Sometimes being able to play impressive passages serves its purpose better when it stands out from simpler parts of a song. I feel like that shows that the musician writing the music is thinking about the listener’s experience a bit, and not just showing off for the sake of showing off. Now before you come out of the gate with a statement like, “this is the greatest metal band.” Provide a “here’s why” because there are a lot of subgenres of metal. Whatever criteria you use I would suggest taking your top picks from as many subgenres as possible and then maybe your next video could be about weighing them against eachother as objectively as possible. It’s a tough question to ask because it’s gonna be hard to not play favorites. In the end anyone probably would, but you can do your best presentation by stating upfront that your choice might be different from the viewer’s and that’s ok because this is “your” best metal band and they’re invited to pick their own and give as many reasons as you did. I think that’s the best approach because ain’t nobody gonna bother to do all that.
But if they do, good. fair is fair. Might even be interesting to get another perspective on it if they can present their rebuttal... in an at least somewhat mature way.
Cliff was classically trained and obsessed with Bach. A lot of the harmonic aspect of their early albums can be directly attributed to his classical training.
Maybe some of the harmonies (the intro and the middle section), but this is one of their most straight forward thrash songs (it's kind of an "evolved" version of Fight Fire with Fire that is basically an "evolved" version of the whole Kill 'Em All album), and Cliff was probably the least "thrash metal" guy in the band. I would actually compare the main riff of Battery to the first riff of Metal Militia. Both are "skank beat" based riffs, and both are heavily based on the bluesy 1 b3 4 b5 scale degrees.
Singing and playing battery is almost like singing and playing holy wars, just insane, also thumbs up for reacting to battery from the legendary Seattle 1989 concert and how about some ballad for the next Metallica or Megadeth reaction video?
@@ShredmasterScott yes, i also find hard singing ( even though i really can’t sing and my mom was a singer) and strumming, so i cant even imagine singing and play Battery, Holy wars or Take no prisoners

One of my biggest regrets: in the late 70’s and early 80’s, I was going to punk, hardcore, and metal shows at the Mabuhay Gardens, The Stone, The On Broadway, and “The OLD Waldorf”. I saw ads for shows at the Old Waldorf featuring an underground band called Metallica. The name called to mind the TV show “Battlestar Galactica,” and I for some reason assumed Metallica must be some lame LA hair metal band, so I passed up the chance to see early, pre-Ride-the-Lighting Metallica shows in an awesome intimate venue when they were young and hungry. After I finally heard about this amazing new band than combined the ferocious energy of hardcore punk with the technical skills of heavy metal shredders, I bought a 100th-generation, inaudible copy of Metallica’s demo cassette while waiting for the release of their first LP. As soon as I heard “Hit the Lights,” I new I had found my new favorite band. As the SF thrash scene exploded and became an international phenomenon, I was able to see bands like Exodus and Slayer in tiny clubs, lodge halls, and theatres, but I never had a chance to see Metallica up close and personal. I did, however, get a chance to meet James Hetfield when he was standing behind me in the audience to see Mötorhead at the Stone.
This era of Metallica, IMO no other metal band could come close to the aggression, brutality and just plan dominance. They did without gimmicks. That’s why their the best
@@evanjones751 vocals? yes, i’ll agree. composition i disagree, megadeth’s composition is way better, check out holy wars, hanger 18, and tornado of souls. and with sound, it depends on what you want to listen. do you want a thrash band that has that early nasty thrash sound? then megadeth is for sure the way to go but if you a more cleaner and “modern” thrash sound then metallica is the way
@@christianthompson7915 I get where you're coming from but I still disagree. I've listened to those Megadeth songs and many more, but I just dont enjoy them much (except for Holy Wars lol) I really tried to like them, but I think Dave's voice is cringeworthy and honestly nauseating lol. I get it they have some killer riffs and complex structures, but Metallica's execution of good song making is on another level.
correction - Maestro, Shred: METALLICA is from LA and would move to SF after meeting up with Cliff, and later with Kirk before recording their debut album. HAIL!
I like how you mentioned the mix, the crowd is mixed to loud throughout this show and it has always drove me crazy. Been watching this since Binge and Purge was released. An old friend of mine was at one of the 2 shows they did in Seattle for this recording and he left just before One started because he thought the show was over.
Hey Shred, first of all, great video, as always! I wanted to ask you something about the acoustic intro : you say the 3rd chord is a D/F#, but shouldn't it be considered as an F#min7, cause it's the same logic as the Fmaj7 that comes right before it (Root - Third - Seventh). Could you explain this, please?
You should of listened to the unmixed version which came with the "...And Justice For All Remastered" set. You can here more of the guitars (because its just mostly "SBD Audio") . so next time you react to another Live Concert, make sure you get a SBD audio and video Concert. Tbh the only time i watch the Live is when its SBD. Less audience , More Metal(lica). Also Love your videos man, it always excites me to see new videos!
I only wish Metallica would somehow incorporate the full album intro to Battery live into their shows. One can just imagine (no pun intended) Hetfield and Kirk each with stand-mounted ovation acoustic guitars before hitting the next distortion harmony section.
Hot take but, I think Ride The Lightning is better than Master Of Puppets. Shit like Fight Fire With Fire, Creeping Death(Maybe the best thrash song ever) and Call of Ktulu
Never knew about the origin of the name, pretty cool to know. Ever done some Opeth Analysis vids? Love to hear you break down their songs. Benighted Demon Of The Fall Moonlapse Vertigo The Night And The Silent Water Ghost Of Perdition Epilogue So many
I actually believe they’re playing a D major diad in the main riff, not a Eb minor diad. It’s hard to hear, but that’s what I believe they’re playing in the main riff. They do play the Eb minor diad when they head back to the main riff with the leading tone as you said.
And furthermore, just to reinforce my previous statement, if you would, search TH-cam for "Metallica symphonic medley", and click the first one.....should say exactly the search terms, and go to 3:44, and listen to the Puppets bridge....is it the bridge? Maybe...or whatever it's called, the symphonic slower portion of the song. And realize, they wrote that when they were 23 years old. TWENTY 3. That's incredible, and no doubt had everything to do with Cliff Burtons genius......but they are all geniuses in their own ways. The best of the best.
No, It is NOT the greatest METAL band of all time, it is the most successful METAL band of all time, due to the fact that they reached mainstream success.
I think there was a time, and that time was the right time for these youngsters from the Bay Area to catch the metal scene off guard. There was a time when Metallica reigned as “kings of metal”. Obviously they evolved, morphed, devolved what have you. But they are still doing their thing, and I would gladly see them live again.
I always thought of battery as in assualt and battery... isn't the song about fighting? I guess I'm not surprised metallica would have a double meaning to their song
Hey Shred, how about react to TOOL Song, I am thinking some Evil one, so ''Ticks & Leeches'' or ''Opiate'' ? Let me know. Thanks man, keep up the evil work. \m/
@@Verifraudreports Damn right.. All Tool songs are great.. (Well the latest album isn't on the same level) but yeah I love TOOL.. The Grudge, Third Eye, Pushit, Bottom, Flood, Jerk-Off, H., Rosetta Stoned, Lateralus, Eulogy, Jimmy, etc.
Proof that Iron Maiden is the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time. Metallica considers Iron Maiden one of their greatest inspiration. Lars basically worships the ground they walk on. Metallica might be number two.
@@bigggiechung6936 Both bands are still influencing bands around the world. Listen to Lovebites from Japan and you can detect a very large number of influences in their music.
I like Maiden as a casual fan, but I feel like they are the ACDC of metal (over repetition of the same old formula). However it's a good formula nonetheless. :-)
How about reviewing some slight more 'classic' heavy rock guitarists, for example Michael Schenker. Try Bijou Pleasurette from the Armed and Ready album.
I saw this tour in my Youth, I was 18 and went with my best friends at the Richfield Colosseum here in Northern Ohio . Watching this time warp is quite Evil, seeing a young brutal Mighty Metallica is fucking awesome . Getting plowed by Tri’s is worth it !
Considering I've been listening to them since I was 13 years old and I'm 47 now and it still gets me every time especially the live shit. I think I can say with pretty good confidence that they are objectively best metal band in the world. Maybe for all of time. They excel in every single area when you look at it there's no other bands to do that. And for anybody who's saying that Lars can't drum, the haters are merely a symptom of being the best. And if you think you can't drum and do just listen to and justice for all with drums only and let's see if you can do it. Not bad for a tennis player.
Despite all the cringy things they've done since the mid 90s, they're still untouchables metal icons. Nobody can deny that. Are they the best musicians out there? Nope, not even close. But their live performances are just incredible and their first 5 albums are milestones. A career that's still unmatched to this day.
Maybe with a good drummer,...and they became a pop band in the 90's....to be the greatest metal band, you have to be a metal band forever...like Slayer, Judas, Death..
Writing credits Hetfield and Ulrich, one has to wonder if James was guided by his ears primarily, or how much theory he actually knows......and of course there's an incontrovertible proof that Cliff Burton was one of, if not THE best metal songwriters ever - had a massive influence on the development of the Metallica sound and IMO at least, made them what they are. The greatest metal band of all time? Certainly a contender.....great analysis again Shred.
Not just the opening track, the whole album "Master Of Puppets" is the proof, this record will not be matched in a very long time... There are very strong challengers like "Powerslave" (Iron Maiden), "Rust In Pace" (Megadeth), "Reign In Blood" (Slayer), "Images And Words" (Dream Theater), "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy" (Symphony X), "Ghost Reveries" (Opeth), to name a few but MOP is untouchable.
I can't stand anything after the black album, and even the black album doesn't have the same repeat value as the first 4. It's just my taste. I'm not stuck in 80's thrash, I like the sound of Conquering Dystopia as an example of a modern metal a lot, but after Metallica released that stankin' pile of dung called Load/Reload/St.Anger I just couldn't take it anymore while during that time Megadeth continued to put out solid releases.
Forever the Greatest ! And one of the most essential and most influential bands of all time. Given the fact that they are a metal it’s just hard to comprehend how far they have gone. I ll see them at Rock Werchter for the 28 th time. For me no other band comes close. And I have a varied taste I also like bands Fleetwood mac and The Cure the Beatles and bands like Tool (which I am seeing this Thursday in Amsterdam. But Metallica is far and beyond my favourite
James doesn't have a mullet, thats just long hair. Now Lars is the one rocking the mullet, Haha, Shred cmon now. When it comes to metal hair is important too, lol.

Was that song because of Dave? Still a great song!

Proof that Iron Maiden is the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time. Metallica considers Iron Maiden one of their greatest inspiration. Lars basically worships the ground they walk on. Metallica might be number two.
Agree Iron Maiden is the best metal band of all time
@@bigggiechung6936 Both bands are still influencing bands around the world. Listen to Lovebites from Japan and you can detect a very large number of influences in their music.
Maiden are metal royalty
I like Maiden as a casual fan, but I feel like they are the ACDC of metal (over repetition of the same old formula).
However it's a good formula nonetheless. :-)
@@razeezar It seems repetitive by theory, but not while listening. That's Iron Maiden for you!!
How about reviewing some slight more 'classic' heavy rock guitarists, for example Michael Schenker. Try Bijou Pleasurette from the Armed and Ready album.
Love that box set, got the one with the cassettes instead of CD. Many have tried buying it but nope.
Nobody dissin on Lars here. That’s a relief. Glory years of the best band ever!
I would call them the greatest SELLING metal band ever.
that is a fact
Not metal, but I think there's a lot of music theory stuff happening in Pink Floyd's "Dogs". I would love to see your take on that.
Metallica is the most influential metal band of all time , without a doubt !! The definitely paved the way for all to follow !! All Hail !!!
After black sabbath I would sayb
@@oldmatevb lol. Sabbath fanboy spotted. Sabbath hasn’t influenced as much as Tallica in Music scene.
Silence there would be no Metallica without sabbath so nah
@@oldmatevb As a wise man pointed out
Biggest indirect influence: Sabbath Without a doubt
Biggest direct influence: Metallica, very arguably
and the heaviest to walk the earth nothing can be more heavy then them.
LMAO my patreon is 'South of heaven' below
Please remove the question mark from the title.
1) Iron Maiden
2) Metallica
Facts
Hmm, Metallica is one of the greatest metal bands ever, but I think you should explore some Pantera...muhahahahahaha....!!!
Proof METALLICA is the GREATEST Metal Band? NOOOOOOOOO
I like the guy who posted the mudvayne dig live show into the oscars awards video :)
muhauhauah
Meshuggah
If it's just thrash, then it's Megadeth. Planning on analyzing Lamb of God ever? Any song...
Yeah Buddy!! 🤘😎
I saw this tour in my Youth, I was 18 and went with my best friends at the Richfield Colosseum here in Northern Ohio . Watching this time warp is quite Evil, seeing a young brutal Mighty Metallica is fucking awesome . Getting plowed by Tri’s is worth it !
I saw Metallica play in 89 here in Australia. I got to hear Justice with bass years before TH-cam allowed to!
Considering I've been listening to them since I was 13 years old and I'm 47 now and it still gets me every time especially the live shit. I think I can say with pretty good confidence that they are objectively best metal band in the world. Maybe for all of time. They excel in every single area when you look at it there's no other bands to do that. And for anybody who's saying that Lars can't drum, the haters are merely a symptom of being the best. And if you think you can't drum and do just listen to and justice for all with drums only and let's see if you can do it. Not bad for a tennis player.
This is the most energetic and perfect metal live performance ever.
Despite all the cringy things they've done since the mid 90s, they're still untouchables metal icons. Nobody can deny that.
Are they the best musicians out there? Nope, not even close. But their live performances are just incredible and their first 5 albums are milestones. A career that's still unmatched to this day.
Four ordinary men making a great band nothing better than that
I love the S&M version of this song. Well, both S&M albums are absolute favorites of mine.
Maybe with a good drummer,...and they became a pop band in the 90's....to be the greatest metal band, you have to be a metal band forever...like Slayer, Judas, Death..
Writing credits Hetfield and Ulrich, one has to wonder if James was guided by his ears primarily, or how much theory he actually knows......and of course there's an incontrovertible proof that Cliff Burton was one of, if not THE best metal songwriters ever - had a massive influence on the development of the Metallica sound and IMO at least, made them what they are.
The greatest metal band of all time? Certainly a contender.....great analysis again Shred.
Not possibly, they are. Without a doubt. Good video 🤘
Hey shred, proof is not necessary. They are just the greatest band ever, FULL STOP!!!!!! Thanks for the video, again.
Metallica USED TO BE greatest metal band back in the days. Now they're not.
Still Iron Maiden
they're still kickin' ass at live shows in their 50s, gotta give em that
Best band? Nickelback maybe?
Ofcourse it is Nickelback
My man
I will call your nickleback and raise you Creed
stop
Not just the opening track, the whole album "Master Of Puppets" is the proof, this record will not be matched in a very long time... There are very strong challengers like "Powerslave" (Iron Maiden), "Rust In Pace" (Megadeth), "Reign In Blood" (Slayer), "Images And Words" (Dream Theater), "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy" (Symphony X), "Ghost Reveries" (Opeth), to name a few but MOP is untouchable.
I can't stand anything after the black album, and even the black album doesn't have the same repeat value as the first 4. It's just my taste. I'm not stuck in 80's thrash, I like the sound of Conquering Dystopia as an example of a modern metal a lot, but after Metallica released that stankin' pile of dung called Load/Reload/St.Anger I just couldn't take it anymore while during that time Megadeth continued to put out solid releases.
Forever the Greatest ! And one of the most essential and most influential bands of all time. Given the fact that they are a metal it’s just hard to comprehend how far they have gone. I ll see them at Rock Werchter for the 28 th time. For me no other band comes close. And I have a varied taste I also like bands Fleetwood mac and The Cure the Beatles and bands like Tool (which I am seeing this Thursday in Amsterdam. But Metallica is far and beyond my favourite
in 91 monsters of rock with acdc, was killer !
James doesn't have a mullet, thats just long hair. Now Lars is the one rocking the mullet, Haha, Shred cmon now. When it comes to metal hair is important too, lol.
your laugh gives me life
