@@kerryryan512 i thought it was already checked out, but i don't see it on the video list. definitely agree with that....master of puppets with lyrics! 🙂
Now THIS is Metallica. The first time I saw them live in 1985 was on this album and they were the opening act for WASP. I had no idea who they were (most people didn’t) but we knew we were witnessing something phenomenal.
@@matti72033 It really was! It was in an old broken down theatre in DT Phoenix that has since been torn down. We were in the 4th row, right in front of Cliff Burton. Flotsam and Jetsam were a local band at the time and I’m 90% sure Jason Newstead was in front of me completely jamming out. 😊
Can't go wrong with classic Metallica. They also did a version of Bog Seger's "Turn the Page". "Seek and Destroy" is a good one too. Looks like everyone else has some excellent suggestions.
I've really enjoyed all of the covers that Metallica has done, but IMO Turn the Page is the ONLY one that they didn't make better. Seger's original is untouchable.
In my opinion, this is their best album. The best song is without question "For Whom the Bell Tolls". If you like bass, this is the song for you. Cliff Burton plays the intro, starting out using a wah pedal. It's one of the best bass intros you'll ever hear.
I recently started listening to some old Metallica and 80s metal again, having grown up to it in the 80s, this album does blow me away, I think it's better than Masters of Puppets too, but I have to put it on par with And Justice for All, which I really wish Cliff could of lived to record, being a bass player myself, huge influence on me as a kid, him and Geezer Butler.
@@gregwasserman2635 same here, i have watched a few of their reaction videos more than once! 🙂 i am sorry to hear about the medications, i wish you the best. be well.
Loved your reaction to 'Ride the Lightning'! PLEASE do 'Master of Puppets' next. It's arguably their best song (in my opinion for sure) and ever since you started reacting to Metallica, I've been anxiously waiting for you to get to it. It's 8 minutes that will change your life
Great song from a great band!! Now is a good time to try Master of Puppets which is very hard. Also Screaming Suicide from their new album is really good and carries a very important message about suicide from Hetfield. I know your channel is about making people smile and that is not the intent of screaming suicide, but it is so important as they are really trying to impact people. Hetfield discusses the importance of being able to talk about suicide openly which few people do and I believe it is a message that should be heard as many people including myself are sadly touched by it and never got to have the conversation with that person or understand how to comfort a loved one.
Disposable Heroes, Creeping Death & Master of Puppets are all elite Metallica & metal songs.. Can't go wrong with any of them. Also Orion and Welcome Home Sanitarium are more melodic masterpieces as well.
@@relevantbrother8964yeah, but that's how people are who prefer certain instruments. If they were more musically inclined, it makes sense they're into the rhythm section, probably would play those too.
Best Metallica album hands down and one of the best metal albums of all time. Creeping Death is probably the best song on this album in my opinion but this title track is killer.
Creeping Death, off this album, is my favorite Metallica song. Don't be put off by the title- it's a song about Moses leading the Hebrews out of Egypt, was inspired by the movie "The Ten Commandments".
Don't be put off by the title? Creeping death is the angel of death. It's not really about the exodus. It's about the angel of death killing the first born Egyptian sons.
I've been playing guitar for 47 years. I learned this when it was released back in the 1980's, I believe it was 1984. The only way to play that fast is with lots of practicing scales. You don't only need quick fingers, you need a quick picking technique, you need muscle memory, and finger dexterity. Lots and lots of practice. Love your reactions.
METALLICA IS MY #1 BAND. I hope you both are able to go see them for there 2-day concerts they are doing. Do not miss out. I can't wait to them in September 👍🤘
This is, in my opinion, the greatest solo in all of metal. Most people will say tornado of souls or something along those lines. But for, its this song. The energy is so insane, and actually feels like the switch has been flipped.
It's really good to see you guys getting more into older Metallica! The first four albums - "Kill 'Em All", "Ride The Lightning", "Master Of Puppets", and "....And Justice For All" - are the epitome of classic Metallica. The title track from "Master Of Puppets" is an absolute must. I also endorse everyone else's suggestions in the comments. You can very rarely go wrong with Metallica!
I used to run an amusement park ride called The Mind Scrambler in the eighties. The ride was in a dome with lights and music. This brings me back. Late night Saturdays. All the girls in spandex. Blasting out songs like this generating a line so long we’d be running past closing time. So much fun.
With Amber's roots being just outside of Texas, and Jay's love of metal, I'm shocked PANTERA has not been given any love... look at "Cowboys from Hell", "Walk" or "Cemetery Gates" for starters. You'll get hooked.
Lots of suggestions, so I'll just add my vote to the list. I was going to suggest my personal favorite of theirs "For Whom the Bell Tolls" but as always, I checked your prior postings and found you had already done that one. Was long enough ago I totally forgot. "Master of Puppets" is probably considered by most to be their most important song. It's certainly epic and really stood out from pretty much anything anyone else was releasing. You all are good at listening to the lyrics, so you'll really feel the punch of that one once you listen to enough of the song to figure out where it's going.
This is just beyond masterclass. Has always been my very favourite of Metallica as a whole. A riff that perfectly yells "Thrash-Metal" (you know which one I mean), and then that guitar solo, touching and powerful yet melodic, and so very long... This is what we have ears for, if anything... They peaked there.
I keep coming back to this reaction and I've watched it several times now. The solo section is such a rollercoaster and it's a lot of fun watching you go through it.
I've seen Metallica live so many times, I can't even count them all. Mosh pits, the smell of pot and cigarettes, sweat, and the thump of the bass in your chest, pyrotechnics in the dark. That's my youth baby!
The entire albums of Kill Em All, Garage Days, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and And Justice For All is their very best! those were the ones that I grew up on!
I've got this album in my truck and blast through it at least once a week. Never gets old! It's a badass album, hands down. Your reactions are so genuine, and it renews the power of the music every time for me!
Go back to the "Painkiller" reaction and look at Amber back then and look at her now, or even the "Down with Sickness" reaction....Girl, you've come a long way.....TOTALLY AWESOME
Their second album and first one I heard. This was the second ever Metallica song I ever heard. The first being the first song on this album, Fight Fire With Fire, which is indeed FIRE.
Give Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) some credit too, he wrote guitar riffs and solos for this song. Megadeth uses some of it in later songs, as well, because Dave has rights to them considering he wrote them and is credited on the album for them.
I've been playing guitar since I was 15, and just turned 46. Metallica is the reason I picked up the guitar. It takes a few years of dedication and practice, but eventually muscle memory and technique take over to give you the ability to shred at that speed. It's one of the most satisfying feelings in the world!
Niiiiiice!!!! One of Metallica’s heaviest songs….if you haven’t already, check out “Fade To Black”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” & “Creeping Death”…from the same album…don’t forget to get some Megadeth in as well…Dave Mustaine pretty much wrote most of this album. Start with “Peace Sells” & “Wake Up Dead”….stellar Metal y’all 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
cmon dude. Mustaine had very little to do with this album. He wrote a few riffs on this song, and a good deal of Ktulu. Other than that, he had nothing to do with this album or any future albums.
@@ktgo4424 the riffs are the basis of all songs. Dave even instructed the Metalli-boyzzz not to use his music & they did anyway….I guess he was a good enough dude to not sue them…as far as him not having anything to do with later albums such as “Master of Puppets”, that’s a given as he was making masterpieces for Megadeth 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I love how, when hearing an amazing metal riff, it is a universal reaction to give the "stank face". Like, no matter who you are, it's gonna happen! :)
Boy, do I remember buying this record. I want to say October of '86 (I was in SF-no seasons there.) After that first record, nobody could wait for the second one and man, it did not disappoint. Nothing but hits on that record.
I love hearing people recognize the brilliance that is Metallica and the way they are able to merge the sounds and the lyrics into masterpiece. You don't listen to Metallica, you Experience Metallica!!!
I absolutely love and appreciate y’all reacting to music I’ve loved since I was just a kid Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Slayer these are the bands I listened to in the mid 80’s around 10 years old
During the Black Album tour I saw them in conert and got to be in the middle of the arrowhead stage. At one point James played drums and Lars played guitar. It was awesome! You haven't lived until you've had Metallica shake their sweat on you Lol!
Speaking of "feeling trapped", there's another song on that album called "Trapped Under Ice" y'all need to check out. This was the album that introduced me to Metallica back in '84 or '85, can't totally remember 😂
I'm a huge Metallica fan since 93, my best friend introduced them to me and been hooked ever since. People will talk smack about their music now compared to back then but I like them all! I love watching reactions of their music on people that don't normally hear them then become fans after because they are the real deal! Listen to the Frayed ends of sanity, you will not be disappointed! I'm a fan of your channel now, welcome to the Metallican family!
I bought this album at at my local record store in the last three bins after z bin. That’s where you would find unknown metal bands. You never knew what you got until you got home and dropped the needle, it was a gamble, and look at the album appeal, band name, their logo, what the band members look like, and song titles. Ride the lightening was a great find, it was two more years until Master of Puppets came out in 1986. I turned a lot of heads with this album. The only radio station that played heavy metal, was an alternative radio station KRCL, Tooele Utah, that picked up and ran KNAC Rock station out of Los Angeles every Saturday night.
I was the kid, in highschool, with the jean jacket and Metallica bandanna sewn on the back. I love the "chunky" guitar of old Metallica...the kind of metal that has the same energy as throwing a rock through a window🤘
Still cant wait for when y'all finally get around to MASTER OF PUPPETS. That one has got to be their magnum opus in my opinion. It's a longer song but totally worth it, just like with all of their music, every note is exactly where it needs to be and it takes you on a journey from start to finish. Plus it has the absolute most savage sounding guitar riffs of all time. 🤘😎
When you listen to Metallica songs from their first couple records you have to remember and be amazed that they're only 18 to 25 years old! The sum of their parts makes them the greatest. Even without Cliff Burton being there anymore. So thankful to see them 3 times between 1989 and 1992!
GUYS!! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! I've requested this several times. THANK YOU! This is definitely in my top five Metallica tracks. Have a great day, Jay & Amber!
This was Cliff Burton era btw Guitar work. When I was younger, I learned to play this song from beginning to end. It is a tough cookie, can’t imagine writing it, what a masterpiece 🎉
This song is so underrated. Love it! If you haven’t done creeping death from this album it’s a must. Try to find a lyric one. I think you’ll like the lyrics.
In my high school this was the most popular album hands down. More popular than any top 40 artists at the time. Fade to Black was the gateway song for getting people into Metallica
This one's for Amber. It is drum related. And I mean so extraordinary that it kicks Lars in the butt due to incredible drum playing. The band is composed of super extraordinary musicians from Berkeley school of music and it is considered a Super Band. So, check out the band DREAM THEATER. The track: AS I AM. And prepare to be floored. Especislly Amber. Focus on the mind-blowing drums.
I've been a fan since 1986 when I was 18 years old and got to meet the band twice. Even my 77 year old mother likes this entire album. My stepfather, . . . not so much. His loss.
It just blows my mind being in my 50's growing up 15-16 ish hearing these guys and at that time didn't even know who they were(all the rebel/crazy kids) listened to..........and watching over the years how big they've become, and insane longevity........and u two, a much younger couple listening and jamming to- just blows me away..........and by the way u guys are the coolest channel on all of you tube(but u knew that!!!😁........anyways keep doin your thing, hope family excellent!
Great song from probably my favorite Metallica album! This song in context - followed by listening to blistering thrash opener Fight Fire With Fire - sounds 1000% better than by itself, imo. Then comes For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Fade To Black exists side one of that album. This album needs to be listened to from beginning to end.
This was the first Metallica album I listened to. Came out at a time when 'heavy metal' was only on MTV (very little radio play) and considered bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Quiet Riot, etc. Bunch of dudes w makeup, big hair, jumping around the stage in spandex. Then this album dropped and changed the whole game. Metallica is #1 for a reason - they earned it.
I'm going to see them Aug. 18th and 20th in Dallas with my sister, and you can watch it live at Quail Springs Mall (there are several other places in the OKC area that you can see them.) both nights. All different songs each night! If you can't be in Dallas, this is the next best thing. You won't forget it I promise you. Rock on 🤘 Kelly
Dude, you cannot go wrong with any song from this album. Suggestions: Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls (Jay will be loving the high notes Cliff hits on the intro with his bass). I also recommend "Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth" - a lengthy bass solo from "Kill 'em All"
The wicked cool recent cuts, Moth into a Flame and Atlas Rise, from this decade, sound like they could have been from Ride the Lightning. Legendary now but even more energy and epic then.
Ok, now you're getting into classic Metallica....the albums that made them the legends that they are.❤️🤘🤘🤘
If you have not reacted to Master of Puppets it is a must!! Rocking and deep message....Must listen to with lyrics!!!! Promise you will be amazed
@@kerryryan512 i thought it was already checked out, but i don't see it on the video list. definitely agree with that....master of puppets with lyrics! 🙂

For whom the bell tolls is one of the hardest riffs ever recorded, it will stay in your head for days.
Best song they ever recorded!!!!! With one of the best lines ever but I won’t spoil it.
They reacted to For whom the bell tolls two years ago.
And the vocals delivery, one of the best from James ever!
@@ResubidorSerialI love the echo and break when they do it live. "It's the last time you will, will, will!!!!"🤘🏻
In my opinion For Whom the Bell Tolls is possibly the most overrated Metallica song ever. I can't even stand listening to it anymore.
Now THIS is Metallica. The first time I saw them live in 1985 was on this album and they were the opening act for WASP. I had no idea who they were (most people didn’t) but we knew we were witnessing something phenomenal.
YEEESS! THIS IS METALLICA!
Which included Cliff Burton! 😢
Wow, what a time to see them live! It must have been amazing.
@@matti72033 It really was! It was in an old broken down theatre in DT Phoenix that has since been torn down. We were in the 4th row, right in front of Cliff Burton.
Flotsam and Jetsam were a local band at the time and I’m 90% sure Jason Newstead was in front of me completely jamming out. 😊
The members of WASP and Metallica are still good friends.
Amber's face when Jay gets the drumsticks is priceless!!!!😅
😆😆😆
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Master of puppets will blow your mind especially the lyrics O.M.G.
its not the greatest
The album opener Fight Fire With Fire is also amazing. This was peak Metallica here on their second album.
I agree, fight fire with fire...!!!
Master of puppets was peek Metallica
Creeping Death was also a banger.
I have to say that truly defines Metallica in its entirety is FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS !! And the whole ride the lightning album cept for escape 😂
It was my first exposure to Metallica. I got the cassette and a Walkman for my 5th birthday. Changed my life
"Ride The Lightning" remains one of the most influential metal albums of the 80s.

This album’s solos are legendary! They were still kids and wrote the deepest cuts.
Can't go wrong with classic Metallica. They also did a version of Bog Seger's "Turn the Page". "Seek and Destroy" is a good one too. Looks like everyone else has some excellent suggestions.
The funny thing is over time you always return to this great early musicianship of Metallica, I’ll never get tired of listening to this
I've really enjoyed all of the covers that Metallica has done, but IMO Turn the Page is the ONLY one that they didn't make better. Seger's original is untouchable.
Ride the Lightning is a great album. “Creeping Death”and “Trapped under Ice” are also up there as favs
I'd go as far as saying a PERFECT album !... and nice to see someone else who considers "Trapped Under Ice" as a fav !
@@paulwalsh2344I’ll take trapped under ice over escape any day 😂
Trapped under ice is such an underappreciated track
In my opinion, this is their best album. The best song is without question "For Whom the Bell Tolls". If you like bass, this is the song for you. Cliff Burton plays the intro, starting out using a wah pedal. It's one of the best bass intros you'll ever hear.
They really need to hear Anesthesia Pulling Teeth and Orion
there is a "for whom the bell tolls" reaction in the videos. i agree with you about the intro, so sweet! 🥰🙂

Disposable Heroes

Disposable Heroes, Creeping Death & Master of Puppets are all elite Metallica & metal songs.. Can't go wrong with any of them. Also Orion and Welcome Home Sanitarium are more melodic masterpieces as well.
BACK TO THE FRONT!
YES!!! This is a top 5 Metallica song & considering their ICONIC catalog that's a HEAVY praise!
My favorite metal band ever. I love all eras of Metallica. They're currently out on tour still killing it with most members being around 60 now.🤘🏻
My favorite Metallica song from my favorite Metallica album. It shocks me that so many people skip this song. It's fucking amazing.
Peeps can't handle James insane voice in this masterpiece
That whole album is fantastic. "Fade To Black" should be your next reaction
Fade to black is terrific!
Their best song ever.
Love how Amber is into drums and horns and Jay likes the bass and falsetto. 😊
I think with the amount of music they listen and react to it's inevitable that they become predictable.
@@relevantbrother8964yeah, but that's how people are who prefer certain instruments. If they were more musically inclined, it makes sense they're into the rhythm section, probably would play those too.

He wrote 1 riff on a song with 7 riffs and Kirk wrote the solo. So before you beg for credit try and actually credit the correct people
Mustaine doesn’t ever solo like this in Megadeth, not even when he was in Metallica. If he did he wouldn’t need a Poland or Friedman.

I absolutely love and appreciate y’all reacting to music I’ve loved since I was just a kid Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Slayer these are the bands I listened to in the mid 80’s around 10 years old
During the Black Album tour I saw them in conert and got to be in the middle of the arrowhead stage. At one point James played drums and Lars played guitar. It was awesome! You haven't lived until you've had Metallica shake their sweat on you Lol!
Speaking of "feeling trapped", there's another song on that album called "Trapped Under Ice" y'all need to check out. This was the album that introduced me to Metallica back in '84 or '85, can't totally remember 😂
I'm a huge Metallica fan since 93, my best friend introduced them to me and been hooked ever since. People will talk smack about their music now compared to back then but I like them all! I love watching reactions of their music on people that don't normally hear them then become fans after because they are the real deal! Listen to the Frayed ends of sanity, you will not be disappointed! I'm a fan of your channel now, welcome to the Metallican family!
I bought this album at at my local record store in the last three bins after z bin. That’s where you would find unknown metal bands. You never knew what you got until you got home and dropped the needle, it was a gamble, and look at the album appeal,
band name, their logo, what the band members look like, and song titles.
Ride the lightening was a great find, it was two more years until Master of Puppets came out in 1986. I turned a lot of heads with this album.
The only radio station that played heavy metal, was an alternative radio station KRCL, Tooele Utah, that picked up and ran KNAC Rock station out of Los Angeles every Saturday night.
I was the kid, in highschool, with the jean jacket and Metallica bandanna sewn on the back. I love the "chunky" guitar of old Metallica...the kind of metal that has the same energy as throwing a rock through a window🤘
Still cant wait for when y'all finally get around to MASTER OF PUPPETS. That one has got to be their magnum opus in my opinion. It's a longer song but totally worth it, just like with all of their music, every note is exactly where it needs to be and it takes you on a journey from start to finish. Plus it has the absolute most savage sounding guitar riffs of all time. 🤘😎
When you listen to Metallica songs from their first couple records you have to remember and be amazed that they're only 18 to 25 years old! The sum of their parts makes them the greatest. Even without Cliff Burton being there anymore. So thankful to see them 3 times between 1989 and 1992!
GUYS!! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! I've requested this several times. THANK YOU!
This is definitely in my top five Metallica tracks. Have a great day, Jay & Amber!
Top five. For sure. and one of Kirk,s best solos. This is Classic trash. Awesome.
One of the greatest solos in metal history
Old Metallica is just so much better. Love this!
....And Justice for all is a trip!!! A master piece!!! You're gonna love it!!
Was in high school when this album dropped…we were all blown away!!!
This old Metallica is what i grew up on. I was a HUGE metal gal over the big hair bands. Mean and badass!! Love it!
I remember listening to that every morning on the way you school. It really does get stuck in your head!
Ride the Lightening is my all time favorite album of any band and genre. Call of ktulu is my favorite song
THIS! Cranked to 11 cruising in my 66 Mustang on Friday and Saturday night. So freaking good❤
Finally some classic Metallica, can't go wrong with any of these.
Check out Metallica - Bleeding Me. Different than their earlier stuff but under appreciated I feel.
This was Cliff Burton era btw
Guitar work. When I was younger, I learned to play this song from beginning to end. It is a tough cookie, can’t imagine writing it, what a masterpiece 🎉
This song is so underrated. Love it! If you haven’t done creeping death from this album it’s a must. Try to find a lyric one. I think you’ll like the lyrics.
In my high school this was the most popular album hands down. More popular than any top 40 artists at the time. Fade to Black was the gateway song for getting people into Metallica
This song takes you to your limits then changes to take you to different limits and so on perfection ❤
This one's for Amber. It is drum related. And I mean so extraordinary that it kicks Lars in the butt due to incredible drum playing. The band is composed of super extraordinary musicians from Berkeley school of music and it is considered a Super Band. So, check out the band DREAM THEATER. The track: AS I AM. And prepare to be floored. Especislly Amber. Focus on the mind-blowing drums.
I've been a fan since 1986 when I was 18 years old and got to meet the band twice. Even my 77 year old mother likes this entire album. My stepfather, . . . not so much. His loss.
Your mom kicks ass man!! 👍👍🤟🤟
It just blows my mind being in my 50's growing up 15-16 ish hearing these guys and at that time didn't even know who they were(all the rebel/crazy kids) listened to..........and watching over the years how big they've become, and insane longevity........and u two, a much younger couple listening and jamming to- just blows me away..........and by the way u guys are the coolest channel on all of you tube(but u knew that!!!😁........anyways keep doin your thing, hope family excellent!
Great song from probably my favorite Metallica album! This song in context - followed by listening to blistering thrash opener Fight Fire With Fire - sounds 1000% better than by itself, imo. Then comes For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Fade To Black exists side one of that album. This album needs to be listened to from beginning to end.
You are absolutely right.
I remember when I heard No life till leather and Hit the lights.
That really blew me away at that time and then my love for Metallica began! 👍🤘❤️
This was the first Metallica album I listened to. Came out at a time when 'heavy metal' was only on MTV (very little radio play) and considered bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Quiet Riot, etc. Bunch of dudes w makeup, big hair, jumping around the stage in spandex. Then this album dropped and changed the whole game. Metallica is #1 for a reason - they earned it.
I first heard this at midnight (1984 ?) on my local radio station. C101. This new band "Metallica". I couldn't go back to sleep.
I'm going to see them Aug. 18th and 20th in Dallas with my sister, and you can watch it live at Quail Springs Mall (there are several other places in the OKC area that you can see them.) both nights. All different songs each night! If you can't be in Dallas, this is the next best thing. You won't forget it I promise you. Rock on 🤘 Kelly
Dude, you cannot go wrong with any song from this album. Suggestions: Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls (Jay will be loving the high notes Cliff hits on the intro with his bass). I also recommend "Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth" - a lengthy bass solo from "Kill 'em All"
The wicked cool recent cuts, Moth into a Flame and Atlas Rise, from this decade, sound like they could have been from Ride the Lightning. Legendary now but even more energy and epic then.
Wish they stuck with this style a bit more. Such a good song. Almost sounds like crossover
