I'm always happy for every person that gets to listen to '80s Metallica for the first time. Also, Ride the Lightning is honestly one of the best metal albums of all time and no one can argue about that!
Let's just say the first four albums. After that... meh. Although the last couple are pretty good. Nice to see them getting back to their roots, though they don't have the same magic as the First Four.
@@jackgilchrist Yes, I agree. Although I did think the Black album was good too. Similar to Ozzy. I think No More Tears was his last good album. Something changed after the early 90's
First I saw the song title, then Mom in the thumbnail. Oh noooo LOL This was the first Metallica song I ever heard. Mid 80's with headphones on listening to the Metal Shop on KQRS radio station.. I couldn't believe my ears.
This was the very first Metallica song I ever heard. My brother had a copy of it on casette tape, and one day when he wasn't home, I was in his room (without his permission) and decided to listen to this "metallica" heavy metal band I kept hearing about. At the time, I was just getting into bands like guns n' roses, bon jovi, and the glam metal stuff. So I played the tape, and in listening to the intro, I thought this copy tape must be something else. I fast forwarded it and heard fast heavy stuff. Rewound it and heard the slow methodical classical sounding intro again. After a few times of back-and-forth trying to find the actual beginning of the heavy song, I listened to the whole thing and realized it WAS actually one song. I was hooked immediately and couldn't believe the brilliance of something so sweet turning into something so heavy.
Heard this on the bus, for the 1st time, on the way to school in 8th grade. It just dropped and a friend popped this in my boombox. Bought it after school. Creeping Death has been my Pesach (Passover) song ever since. To the odd look of a couple rabbis. Then they read the lyrics!
What a precious first time reaction! I see so many people in the chat saying this was the first Metallica song they heard. Me too. 1984 and "Ride The Lightning" album just came out. The first time I listened to "Fight Fire With Fire" I had to rewind the cassette and listen to it again before getting into the rest of the tape. When it was over, I immediately went back to the store and bought "Kill 'Em All". I love the reaction here! Lex and Jack were having their own little mosh pit on the couch. lol Take care and see ya tonight!
Alot of 80s metalheads hadn't even discovered this gem until after the release of Master of Puppets. Metallica truly did take the world by storm at this time blowing everybody off the stage.
I did I lived in Hollywood when Dave was still in the band when they were playing the sunset strip. They had a legion of fans before this song came out.
I never knew Metallica existed until going to a music store in 1986 back in the good ol days of vinyl browsing the metal and import sections,and Master Of Puppets was playing on the stereo,so I got it on cassette,that was about two weeks before Cliffs death.
I've seen Metallica a few times . My 2ND time though was back in December of 1991 . I was pregnant with my 3rd child . They were Awesome. Then in January of 1992 I went to see Ozzy for like the 5th time , still pregnant. My ex knew the drummer from Anthrax Charlie and he gave him his backstage.pass. My ex then ran backstage and got a pass for me from Zach Wilde . Ozzy asked me are you having a baby? I said yes . He asked when I was due . I said the end of June. He said you're going to have a boy in May . He wrote on my shirt God Bless and have a new one . I still have the shirt . Never wore it or washed it again . Anyway I had my Son May 22 . So Ozzy was right . Lol I met and talked with the rest of the band too. All awesome. But I loved Ozzy from Sabbath and still do . He is the nicest down to earth guy you will ever meet. So it was extra special to me .
I remember putting this on when I got the tape back in HS. I knew the album was going to be a keeper. Another great thrash song influenced by the Cold War. Gotta love 80's metal!
its amazing how many non metal appreciating reactors have expanded their channel to try it only to find that the "noise" was absolutely fantastic once it's truly understood. It's about the emotions that the music gives the listener that underscores the meaning and depth of the lyrics. like a musical score to a movie - the music in metal enhances the powerful emotion the artist is conveying in their lyrics - music score in movies do the same thing when it is trying to illicit emotional response, pull at heartstrings, or rally the audience to root for the hero, etc. Metal in the way its composed is even similar to classical music with it's changes in time signatures, and different orchestrations and such of various instruments and underlying melodies. Metal is classical music on steroids and crank.
I just called my mom and told her I bought tickets to see Metallica…. Couch Mama summed up my moms reaction. I’m so excited to see them again. I saw them in 91. But the concert isn’t until 2024 so I’ll have to wait
My first experience with Metallica was this album back when it was still on Megaforce records. Fight Fire with Fire was heavy fast song about nuclear Armageddon that made you want to hear more from this band and Ride the Lightning, along with Master of Puppets, Kill'em All and And Justice for All, will always be the best albums the band has ever released.
She needed to understand what he was singing about its about Nuclear Warfare and MAD Mutual Assured Destruction i think then she would of been like oh alright
I finally saw Metallica back in 2017, after a lifetime of trying to see them. Towards the end of the night when they'd played all the "surprise" songs, if you will, and were into all the ones you expect to hear at a Metallica show (One, Master of Puppets, Enter Sandman, and so on) they slipped this in. The second I heard that intro part start I completely lost my mind.
METAL! Wow, it's been a minute. It's good to see ya'll I love this one and it was great to see Lex rock out and Brad and Mom appreciate some aspects of the song.
*Y'all gotta try their song; "Eye of the Beholder." I got to see them before they even made a record, in a small club on Broadway in S.F. in early '83.*
Early Metallica! The good Metallica. Punk, thrash, metal roots. Not the slower, softer country rock style that they were doing during the '90s lol. But in recent years they have since returned to this heavier harder style that they were doing back in the '80s. St Anger album was pretty good, too. 2000s.
Early Metallica might not have been the best choice for your mom to listen to - she might have enjoyed 90's Metallica a little more - but to be honest - she had the same reaction that my parents had the first time i put this on the car cassette player. Actually my dad didn't handle it nearly as well. So kudos to her. Hope she comes back soon. Always fun to see her.
Of all the Metallica songs you could have played for mom, you picked FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE? One of their most thrashy fast scare the pants off of momma songs. I love it😂
Thrash Lex is back!!!! Glad to see it. You guys need to do "Creeping Death" off of this same album. Brad would like the lyrics since it's pretty self-explanatory what the song is about and Lex would love the music.
Not the first Metallica song that I heard, that distinction goes to Battery when my cousin came home with Master of Puppets... but the very next day Ride the Lightning became the first Metallica album that I owned If she wants to hear him "sing" you should play Fade to Black for her
Atta boy Brad let her know!!!!! You gotta let her hear Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven and The Day That Never Comes so she can hear James great vocal ability.
I was in between 9th and 10th grade when this came out or I got it and this was my first introduction into Metallica and fell in love with the band immediately and been a fan ever since and in the 10th grade they toured with Ozzy “Bark at the moon” tour and I stood right in front of Burton the entire show and I still have the concert T, though it’s so old you can literally see through it and no way I could ever fit in it again lol. Moms reaction was identical to my moms reaction lol.
James' singing has evolved a lot over the years. In these first few albums he was mostly just shouting the lyrics and he has started singing more along the way. He threw out his voice when they were recording the Black Album and he got some vocal coaching to aid with his healing process. He started doing vocal warmups etc. after that. He was a bit worried he would end up sounding like some sappy country singer after the training, but he just learned to take care of his "instrument". In the very early days Metallica was trying to find a lead singer but they couldn't find one who they liked and I guess they had a rush to start recording their demos and all and James just sort of ended up singing and we are all better for it now. James is an iconic vocalist and he has been able to get his emotions out more through their songs. There are many songs in the catalogue about James' life...
Mama watching speed metal, you two are nuts, well roasted. Should show her something she would appreciate like with the symphony. Or the Miley performance on Stern show, good stuff. Love your courage to listen to all spectrums of the artists.
My intro to metal was this song and then angel of death by slayer. Once I heard angel of death I was hooked on metal and went out and bought both cassettes right after I got out of school and haven't looked back since. Thrash metal will always be my favorite kind of music. I like alot of the NWOTM that's out now like warbringer, havok, lich king, eradicator, defiatory etc
First time i ever heard Metallica was at college in 1986, a thrasher i met swapped me a mixtape (his had Tracks from Kill em all, Ride the lightening and Master of puppets on, and maybe some Slayer), i gave him some punk (English dogs, GBH, The Exploited i think)
God, I love it. 😂😂 I'm so glad your mom was there because I used to troll my mom with this song, The Call Of Ktulu, and Battery when I was 16 years old and I had to drive her somewhere. She loved the intros and that's about it! 😂😂😂😂
Blistering speedmetal, coming off their thrash roots of Kill 'em All (my 2 favorite albums of theirs), so damn good to this day. We were all still trying to come to terms with the aptly-named, realpolitik theory/practice M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) back then, so the art reflected it of course, even in music.
I didn't hear this record until the 90's and the lyrics blew my mind. Not just this song but the whole record. He's preaching againt wars and the death penalty. And then you got songs about the old testament. Incredible.
@@JivinJoe0984 Metallica is super liberal. Hetfield is an artist that is extremely anti war and anti religion. Why would you think he's one of yours? Also, he lives in LA. That's in California.
Kirk's lead almost sounds like Irish folk music. Accept does something similar with Fast As A Shark And Iron Maiden Does something similar with Quest For Fire cuz good heavy metal, is just good music.
Look at Brad defending Metallica... I'm so proud of my boy! 👍🙂
They have some good songs....I don't think of this as one of them. Oh wait, it's getting better, lol.and grandma is getting into it!
@@michaelasay8587 hey need to have her hear somthing off load era like Mama Said now... then tell her after it's the same band same singer.
He seems like a lyrics guy and it's hard to knock Metallica's lyrics when you actually take the time to listen. It's nice to see it :)
@@firstlast4516 they have't even got to the Load Records yet... those are some of his best lyrics... Until it sleeps, hero of the day, bleeding me, outlaw torn...etc
More like defending his wife.
Can't believe how hard this still is after 40 years

Absolutely. Only second to MAYBE Master of Puppets.

This was the first Metallica song I ever heard. Mid 80's with headphones on listening to the Metal Shop on KQRS radio station..
I couldn't believe my ears.
During the harmony solo is the most Brad's ever moved to a metal track! 😄🤘
Brad definitely likes “melodic/harmonic” guitar work more than “frenetic” blazing solos !
Didn't have a choice, Lex had the whole couch moving lol.
LOL, I used to try to get my mom to listen to Metallica, "listen, the beginning is almost like classical music."...
This was the very first Metallica song I ever heard. My brother had a copy of it on casette tape, and one day when he wasn't home, I was in his room (without his permission) and decided to listen to this "metallica" heavy metal band I kept hearing about.

Did you do like me and immediately throw all your glam rock stuff into the nearest trash bin?
Me too 😃
Personally I can enjoy any old guy rock from Poison to Pantera. As long as guitars are turned up loud I'm usually happy 🤘🏻
@@wilfisk731 I wouldn't say I threw it in the garbage, but yea, I started buying bona-fide heavy metal stuff.
Geez, now that you mentioned it, I think this was the first Metallica song I ever heard too.
I will never fucking forget the first time I heard that song on my walkman walking to school. I thought my head was going to explode.
Wife here.., Though I was REALLY into Glam Metal when this came out..I Always enjoy watching someone checking out Metallica..Rock On!!🤘👍
Brad has come so far since the beginning....I am so proud of the man, kudo's brother.
"At least he's not saying the same 5 words over and over" Amen, brother!
that double bass drum at 4:21 always sounded like a helicopter to me
That was friendly for parents ears in the 80s.
Gotta give props to your mom even listening to Metallica! My mom just called it noise!
At some point every style of music was looked down on by the previous generation. I bet Bach had old people at the time calling his music noise.
@@danvan318 100 % correct sir!
I mean, probably her ears aren't adjusted to hear this type of music. This explains
Couch Mama is like " Lex, I did not raise you like that." Love Couch Mama ( and Lex too). 😎
“Call of ktulu” you’re going to love it!❤😊

Somewhere I heard the line "you might not be ready for this...but your kids are going to love it."
Yup my gang standing up for Metallica. Lex is funny trying not to get to excited with the baby and all. Priceless

I forget how great early Metallica is until I hear it on a reaction channel. Kill'em All was the first album I purchased.
Mom really enjoyed the solos!!
God I love what a fucking rocker you are Lex, you smoothing out a jiving dance with a thrashing riff is amazing!
*Y'all gotta try their song; "Eye of the Beholder." I got to see them before they even made a record, in a small club on Broadway in S.F. in early '83.*
A true classic!
the harmony section alone is worth the price of admission.
and to be fair even james hates his vocals on the early albums lol
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIIIAAHHH
The verses never were my favorite but the solo and harmonizing guitars afterwards are among my favorite parts of any Metallica song.
Love the reaction to this classic Metallica jam! Also, shout out to Mom for the Parliament- Aqua Boogie T-shirt!
Mom had the last laugh 🤣
Haha, Brad & Lex are becoming (have become?) metalheads! 😃🤘 As always, Lex, I love your enthusiasm, and your shirt is awesome, too!

This will always be my favourite song
Unless I'm mistaken, this was the first heavy metal album to open with an acoustic guitar.
Mommy’s thinking what happened to my daughter lol😂

One of the more difficult of their fast songs to play on guitar and make sound good. Nice review.
The drum part was quite innovative then .
It was before the others radicalized more the envellope

Now we are talking
I'm shocked you liked it Brad! I think it's because you have a lot of them, and realize how hard it is what they do and they really are awesome!!

I find that Metallica's lyrics tend to be political or about war not usually about the occult.
Not just political but conservative at that, only cause James is a conservative and got the hell out of California
@@JivinJoe0984 lol ok
Politics,war and mental health.
