[@patrickhanekamp2761]

Imagining they were only just 21 years old. This was their 2nd album. It’s just crazy how talented they are.

[@kevinmitchell4018]

that is so bad ass! but if u think about it,all the great bands made thier best music between 18- 25.

[@ianhairston5258]

Lol James was actually 19. Shits wild

[@isopropyltoxicity]

You mean how talented they WERE, all that magic is gone

[@BrandonTK]

@@isopropyltoxicityno it’s not come on man

[@JustinChristopher-ov7gw]

Thanks for admitting you have the attention span of an amoeba. @@isopropyltoxicity

[@swcoder]

Asia nailed it with "unless you tap into your feelings, you're just not getting it". In the era it was just lumped into "evil music", but when you listen to most Metallica, they just sing about dark topics that people don't like to discuss. Trapped Under Ice off this album is overlooked often, it's short, very fast, but conveys a feeling we've all had.

[@iainlindsay6691]

Trapped Under Ice is about Cryonics, the deep freezing of the body after death in preparation for being brought back to life. The process was a very hot topic in the eighties. Slayer also covers the topic in the track Cryonics on the Show No Mercy album.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Because a lot of it IS satanic garbage….this isn’t

[@myrtislockett864]

I like the song Escape from this album.

[@kevinmitchell4018]

actually,the same is true about black sabbath.

[@tannhauser5399]

@Chris Petenes - exactly this. Master of Puppets? A classic. Drug addiction, and a battle with it. Much repect for James Hetfield, as he was 23 at that time. Ride the Lighting? My god... the guy was 21.

[@cshubs]

I saw them around 1988 in Vermont in a small auditorium. They had promised to visit every state, and they did. What a show. The Cult opened.

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

I recomend "Orion" by Metalica. It's has a very different vibe. It's guitar driven and it is positively mesmerizing.

[@PongGod]

An instrumental, to be more precise.

[@metalmark1214]

As well as Call of Ktulu and To Live is to Die.

[@BamaXander]

The Call of Ktulu is such an amazing song.

[@randymoody4478]

Yep I agree

[@bryansproles2879]

Cliff's bass in the second half is some amazing stuff. Definitely my favorite instrumental.

[@johnlehtinen1918]

These guys were in early 20's and wrote these masterpieces!

[@mikewalker7385]

There are definitely times when Metallica resonates with what's going on with me. The music is in sync with my situation. This helps me work through it. I feel understood. It's therapy.

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

I'm enjoying all of your content, mostly movie reactions. Wholesome folk exploring what we call our culture and it's fun to watch. A lot of this I've heard and watched too much myself, so I get entertainment watching others hear or see the first time, I'm jealous.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

MAN! This brings back some memories. Thank you, guys!

[@robs.6891]

The very first Metallica song I ever heard. This album came out on my birthday 07/28/84 > Happy Birthday to me 🤟 Ps It's Thrash metal

[@rythmblood27]

This was the 2nd song I ever heard from Metallica. 1st was FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. By the time I hit the 3rd song on the album (For Whom the Bell Tolls) I knew Metallica was what I needed to be listening to. I remember (at 18 years old) feeling like, 'How have I not been listening to this music before now?!!! I've never looked back.

[@jeffneedstogivejakeaturnon1083]

Thrash Metal at its finest. These guys blew people away when they came out.

[@susanconstable2113]

Long time Metallica fan here since around 1984-85 maybe. My most favorite band in the world!

[@leighhorne1670]

Man you guys felt this…great song and reaction.

[@jameslake9806]

Hi ya, Asia & BJ!! They were heavy metal, like none other! Legendary band that gave it's fans several anthems!! Lars Ulrich plays the drums, Kirk Hammett played the lead guitar, and James Hetfield singing lead. Ride the lightning was my favorite album from them, but the album, Black, and the album, Master of Puppets were also great albums!! 👍😎👍 Keep up y'all's great podcast, and keep them songs coming!!

[@boobear7656]

I also recommend Orion ... U won't b disappointed

[@mikefeeney9828]

As a life long fan of these guys. .the best song they ever wrote was on this album.. Creeping Death

[@empyrealone]

You nailed it BJ. To Ride the Lightning is to go to the electric chair.

[@glida458]

Hhaha is swear I was thinking to myself yesterday that i hope you do ride the lightning! And here we are!

[@dariiofernando]

best metallica, you guys are great

[@soupsandwich1]

This is the song that made me a Metallica fan.

[@soulfiregaming3088]

metallica is my faverit band grown up on them

[@burgcarli929]

You guys are officially headbangers.

[@brandonio_granger]

BJ definitely does his best to steer and yet understand a song,even if it's out of his realm. He's done some noticeable research with the artist or band that gas been reported

[@solarvoodoo3168]

i saw them live in 92 and was just wore out, they kicked my ass

[@tiawarren5403]

"Devils Dance" by Metallica.. :)

[@jasjrock6424]

thanks the bass only version is cool too :)

[@Chevymetal69z28]

I'd suggest Disposable Heroes, probably the next best guitar solo. Also, Dyers Eve will blow you away with the speed.

[@johng8560]

Metallica and enough coffee will make you feel like burning down a fucking city

[@tonycg9952]

creeping death another good one also battery is very good one

[@SKEC212]

Listen to Metallica The Day That Never Comes. It showcases all of their styles from old to new.

[@amaliogutierrezrubio]

Mago de oz- la cantata del diablo, Diabulus in opera

[@jcruhrskov194]

Thanks for your interpretation ... your next review should be "Fade To Black". A lil' opposite of the this track. Perhaps you're more to the mellow side 🙂

[@jeffwarren954]

Do y'all read the lyrics to songs like this or all songs. Lots of old Metallica are songs about being addicted to drugs. Have you y'all heard and read Master of puppets from Metallica? It's strong.

[@adamhie78]

That entire album is fire! You should try to get through the whole thing.

[@CoreyBarr-j1s]

Arlo McKinley! Cincy!

[@relevantbrother8964]

Really great reaction..I'm really enjoying this channel and the music choices are really good. Please react to Metallica "the day that never comes" live from Nimes

[@sedateddreams8738]

Hope you guys react to a Parkway Drive song. Maybe Vice Grip or Bottom Feeder. I think you both will like it

[@alexdol811]

haha hope you like

[@davidminervino9230]

Blackened?

[@jeffrey7726]

I recomend nothing passed Master

[@KCUFyoufordoxingme]

Just imagine if they knew how to make drums interesting back then.

[@lisemzarate4029]

I love Kirk's playing because it's an extension of the melody, not added on top to help him show off, his solos fit and fill the melody out instead of distracting from it. Aside from the playing method, the writing is outstanding from all sides.

[@abbas431]

Nailed it!

[@metalmark1214]

Thanks guys for doing one of my favorite Metallica songs on, IMO, Metallica's best album. Gotta love that guitar solo, epic.🤘

[@kellyzak2375]

Only Metallica could write a song about being strapped in the electric chair, such a great band

[@rastomasstanford7708]

Right

[@Huddle_House56]

Man. It may not be the most technical or blistering solo ever. But it’s always been my favorite guitar solo of all time. It’s their longest. And takes you on a RIDE.

[@No.WC.Penaldo]

this song was always their tornado of souls for me, just going on a wild ride with the song and solo

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

wait till you hear Cast Down the Heretic by Nile haha. It goes on for at least 2 minutes. The 2nd third of the song

[@bigdaddymosh1964]

One of the hardest and best ever! This song along with a few others made them METALLICA 🔥🔥🤘🤘 Shock to the system ASIA!!! Love you guys rode it ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@dvk7277]

This song is WILD. Solo is intense, and drum beats pull you many different ways. As rappers you guys kept the pace pretty well! 👍👍❤

[@Yisusaurio]

I love her face enjoying and trying to follow the structure and complexity of the solo; that moment when you realize that you are hearing something amazing and want to know more.

[@motoguy7281]

This was one of the best metal albums ever, definitely my favorite Mettalica album.

[@tomrocks5367]

This song and Master of Puppets were the first 2 songs I heard by Metallica back in early '86 when I was around 14. The San Diego station 101.5 KGB ran a show every Sunday night called Metal Shop with host Brian Shock. I would record the show (80's teen way of downloading music) and one night it was a two play night. First up was Master of Puppets then Ride the Lighting. I listened to that recording at least 5 time per day for a year. To this day I always expect Ride The Lightning to come on after Puppets, lol. Great reaction. \m/\m/

[@robyfiorili]

Hello peer (class of 1972)

[@Bushanie24]

yo yo same age same experience in NY

[@dizastro5437]

Dedication on that record button. I was with ya. TDK tape FTW

[@Roh_Echt]

*I saw them Live in San Francisco in early '83, with both Dave and Cliff, and have been a fan ever since. They were so different than what the Rock Music Scene was offering at the time. They were mind blowing and as soon as their album "Kill 'Em All" was released....I got it. It was on the same day that I bought FANG's "Landshark" album. FANG...another band frequently appearing in the SF clubs. BTW..."Ride The Lightning" is a term used for execution by the electric chair. The song is focused on an inmate on Death Row.*

[@bayareathrasher666]

Yes!

[@josemuzquiz7146]

It must have been at the Stone. Remember that little club.

[@kurre7]

Creeping Death is another good song on this album with high energy like this one. More of a slower song is Fade To Black....same album.....also really good.

[@theaiden5285]

Every. Single. Song on this album (with the possible exception of Escape) is magic. Ride the Lightning beats a lot of other bands' greatest hits.

[@ljfaella]

From the same album, listen to Creeping Death. It describes the pestilence that kills the first born sons in the Bible story of Moses. It’s lyrically and musically very well done.

[@C_mao]

This is off their best album too, imo. I saw them play live on this, their second tour. They were not well known back then, and the crowd was 3400+ people jam packed into a venue with the capacity of only 3000. It was wild, and i was at the front of the stage, literally, 'hands on the stage'. It was general admission, no chairs, just an open floor, with bleachers on each sides. I was standing probably 10 feet from Cliff Burton on the left side of the stage.

[@flannelguydiy6458]

Yes BJ it is about going to the electric chair. Just look at the album cover my brother!

[@mohdjuraimi8872]

Thank you,guys.as an old school metal and rock fan,I respect people like you guys.respect other genres of music even though it's not your cup of whatever...at the end of the day music is universal. No judge,no classification whatsoever.thanks guys.

[@ma1nick]

LOVED IT!!!!! Their best album IMO.

[@AntonioGarcez]

The black Album was the best at least for me

[@leadnsteel1428]

And justice for all, master of puppets, ride the lightning the black album and even death magnetic were good. Don't really care for the newer stuff

[@masterofpuppets2004]

Guilty as charged But damn it, it ain't right There's someone else controlling me Death in the air Strapped in the electric chair This can't be happening to me Who made you God to say "I'll take your life from you?" Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame Wait for the sign To flick the switch of death It's the beginning of the end Sweat, chilling cold As I watch death unfold Consciousness my only friend My fingers grip with fear What am I doing here? Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame Someone help me Oh please, God help me They're trying to take it all away I don't want to die Time moving slow The minutes seem like hours The final curtain call I see How true is this? Just get it over with If this is true, just let it be Wakened by horrid scream Freed from this frightening dream Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame

[@HauntingHistory]

If you thought this was wicked, PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD react to Battery Live in Seattle '89. You will not be disappointed.

[@troyv8302]

I didn't get to experience this until 1986 but when I did, it blew my mind and opened my eyes to some great new music. Colors seemed brighter and everything seemed as it should be. Loved your discussion at the end, thanks!

[@timothynelms2683]

This song is about an innocent man being put to death in the electric chair.

[@rolandorojas3800]

Ride the Lightning composers: James Hetfield · Lars Ulrich · Dave Mustaine · Cliff Burton Ride the Lightning phrase: To be put to death by means of the electric chair. Primarily heard in US. Scores of inmates rode the lightning while he was warden of the prison.

[@nonsuch]

in 1984, this scared the hell out of bible thumpers. 😂

[@Kevin-py7hb]

YESSSS!!!! METALLICA!!!! One of my favorites from them, actually this whole album is 🔥🔥🔥. Just imagine all band members were in their early 20's when they recorded this!!!!! I had the pleasure seeing them perform this live in 2017 in San Diego... My best concert I've ever been too. Hearing the audio is epic, but to see them in concert is PRICELESS!!!!!!! Hope to see them again in the near future... Asia said it right... It's metal to the 10th degree!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this music doesn't get you up out of your chair, something in wrong with you......

[@robertherring9277]

I remember listning to this album, when it dropped, on the bus on the way to school in 8th grade played on a boombox lol!

[@williamzenger1404]

You should review Metallica's best song - "CREEPING DEATH."

[@Ryan-sb5pc]

Great video guys! Highly recommend “Battery Live in Seattle ‘89” or “Blackened Live in Seattle ‘89” you WILL NOT be disappointed.

[@joeynatts6542]

BJ is on the right track. "Ride the Lightning" is a metaphoric term for being electrocuted in the electric chair. Look at the cover of the album. That is an electric chair on the cover.

[@Mike-rk8px]

Another GREAT song by Metallica worth reacting to is “The Four Horsemen” from 1983.

[@lovedc4ever678]

If you haven't been introduced to Cliff Burton's insane compositional skills. Welcome. Please check out my favorite Metallica songs "Sanitarium" and "Orion" off their greatest album "Master of Puppets"

[@DonoftheDead-zk5rm]

Metallica Ride the Lightning is my favorite album, Y'all should do a reaction to Ozzy Osbourne Center of Eternity song🤘👽🤘

[@ftristan]

you should consider doing Metallica's Disposable Heroes from the Live in Mexico Concert to see the energy with the playing at the same time

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Distortion can be obtained by turning your amp up to 11 (out of 10). Basically really loud and it vibrates and distorts. However, that was way back. Now you just buy pedals and such that give it the crunch/distortion and other effects.

[@daddywags8713]

I’m really new to the whole KZbin thing… the reaction videos from people have me hooked! That being said I keep clicking on yours.. I’m diggin it. Asia.. what’s up girl.. you need stop putting that lip gloss on .. 😉 Bj.. my brother you keep it real, no matter what genre y’all are reacting to. 👍

[@ericjauregui3089]

Asia & BJ simply put, is the best , and my favorite Reaction channel on KZbin! At the very top of the mountain. The tippy-top.

[@scorpionking4012]

The lyrics on that one are great!!!

[@stigpetersen9701]

Next one from “Tallica”; Dyers Eve 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@wethepeople6642]

Allegaeon- of Beast and Worms! Thats a masterpiece! 💯🤘 👏

[@da9pauly]

You should react to Megadeth Into the Lungs of Hell such an incredible instrumental!!

[@abdelouahabdebaba337]

This is the best song of Metallica from their greatest album. The song is about someone getting executed with electric chair.

[@Ktownsvg213]

"Lightning going every where" lmaooo good one. Much love from la.

[@bigemetalmilitia8462]

I love watching your post analysis. You guys really take the time to understand and vibe and interpret the music in your own way. That's what we all did when we were 14yrs old hearing this stuff. Literally same experience just 30yrs removed. All the love to you guys. Enjoy❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘

[@johnthegreek5836]

Asia and BJ great song you both are great jamming to these hard rock songs

[@forevalearning]

Straight up 💯 BJ. Riding the lightning while sitting in a chair. Songs like this you feel the energy and vibe via the instruments as opposed to say, RnB where you feel the same things via the singers voice. Great reaction Asia and BJ ❤️

[@mitchellbeston1033]

You both have it right...its simply impossible not to move to the beat and guitar. When you see them live it blows you away how they can play like this for around 2 hours straight.

[@sadsadasdsadasdsadas]

Kirk Hammett with his amazing solo!

[@marcodaoho4441]

First heard this in 88 , just amazing stuff

[@jpman9795]

I was a teenager when this album came out...even though they found a way to evolve with the times, I definitely prefer them during this time. They we're just raw and their music was savage.

[@charliemoss6379]

Listen to the whole album you kids will love it

[@tjmasson1013]

One of their best songs. That southern rock stream was the the best. How bout a triple stream with ZZ , Allmans and Skynyrd👊✌️

[@gandalf970]

This is my favorite Metallica album! Rock on

[@donnosborne9723]

You have to love old school Metallica

[@travisboyens8960]

Love it...love y'all....you want good hard early Metallica....Seek and Destroy...it will be right up both your alleys....keep up what you do being you!

[@melvinpike4266]

Metallica is one of my all time favorite bands!!! I saw them in Omaha Nebraska!!! Please react to "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica. You will not be disappointed. Also please react to Steelheart...I'll Never Let You Go. Amazing band and amazing singer. His vocals are second to none!!!

[@timrue8898]

One of the best reviews I've ever heard. BJ nailed it with his ideas of a man on death row being led to the electric chair. That's what why I'm a big fan. Asia and BJ are the real deal. Keep bringing the noise

[@rickbrasseaux1676]

Trapped Under Ice is a serious banger from the same album that is one of their most underrated songs. I hope you get to enjoy that one at some point. Enjoy!

[@UsuckMine]

its a release!

[@gilbertorodriguez5344]

SUPER CABRON HELL YEA WATCHING FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 GOOD SHOW 🤯CHECK OUT 👹JUMP IN THE FIRE🔥🤘🎩🎸🎶🎶🎶🍺🎼📀📀📀📀📀📀📀

[@pressman1788]

Great reaction! Please checkout METALLICA Fight Fire With Fire, it’s the song right before this song and the one that starts the album!🤘🏻❤️ It’s a banger!

[@gregroberge8873]

excellent reaction, well said by both of you.
