They can't handle acting like a maniac, "Whiplash." Other metal bands fall onto their knees, for the original "Phantom Lord", Metallica. I have "No Remorse", no repent in stating this. Alex, no more searching, "Seek and Destroy!" We're trying to get the message to you, "Metal Militia" is here with you. Some people ask "Am I Evil?" I am man. Yes I am. So Alex the day is coming. Armageddon is near. Inferno's coming. Can we survive the "Blitzkrieg" of Alex's reactions? YEAH YEAHHHHHH! We'll never stop. We'll never quit. Because YOU'RE Metallica! 🤘🤘🤘

This Song was originally entitled "When Hell Freezes Over"... I saw them Play it in Orlando Florida Before the record came out... but dont know why they changed the title... And as usual Cliff Burton really shows his passion while playing here in those long murderous growls on the bass at the end of the chord progressions..... its almost like a monster growling - "WAAAAAAAAA" - pretty much ALL of those background growls and tones in the early records were from the fingers of Cliff Burton, dude was vicious, and his head was like, on a FKN swivel... supreme headbanger (RIP)...

Next HAS to be Kill Em All. There Debut, the "Initial Spark" you were talking about, Kill Em All is 100% Spark. You'll LOOSE YOU MIND. Edit: In regards to the spelling, I was using Data, on an old, slow, broken work phone, outside in the hot sun, on a bike. My phone made some auto correct errors, and the sun made the screen hard to see. If you see a message, and start freaking out about the grammar to the point you don't even "read" the message, then you need to get your O.C.D. in check, and move on, rather then insult and assume the person writing the message is stupid, and can't spell. Nothing in the world is black and white. There's always variables, factors, conditions, etc. to take into consideration. If bad grammar bothers you that much, stay off the internet. It's probably better for your health in the long run. I wouldn't want you to stumble across something like "hAha, can send u Money tinight" or "WArnings GET too Shlter" have a heart attack.

Took awhile for you to finally review this masterpiece, but now you're one of us that have!

[@nps1016]

I always loved the Metallica instrumentals, especially this one. I’m glad you loved Lightning, it’s a damn fine Heavy Metal album. I hope you do Kill ‘Em All, which has I think you’ll like as well.

[@aaronpatterson4791]

Holy shit....I know that it was a coincidence that I clicked on this video, but damn Alex. Thanks brother, I really have been going through some shit. Rock on brother.

"tell me this is gonna go to 6 minutes with no lyrics!" What if I told you, it was an instrumental?

[@jamesmiller7941]

Everytime I scroll through youtube and I see Alex doing these Metallica reactions it puts a smile on my face 🙂 you just don't see alot of reaction channels doing whole albums from 30+ years ago. Awesome 🤘

Wanna hear Cliff Burton's shred masterclass? Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) is the answer.

[@amberprice3439]

I remember hearing this as a kid and feeling so unsettled by the opening baseline. Loved it so much!! To this day it's still one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. With Metallica it's all about evoking a feeling through their instrumentation even without lyrics.

This is a great Instrumental and I think S&M version is better.

[@joshthomas2536]

I haven't played the S&M version since listening to live at Lyceum Theatre years ago, shits all over S&M

[@aaronmathis6471]

I saw Metallica live about 4 years ago and started crying tears of joy halfway the concert because I finally got to see Metallica live at 23 and had them my whole life

[@mattkershner8714]

You need to listen the Metallica s&m version of this it's absolutely amazing. Like S&M 1. It's uncanny how great it sounds with the orchestra

Hey Alex... I got the chance to see them in 2017 in San Diego/ Petco Park... I went with a friend of mine who got us GA (general admission) tickets... It was my first outdoor/stadium show, and it fucking rocked... Was about 30-40 feet from the stage (right side)... I felt like I was in a sardine container, with all those metal heads next to me.... Probably my best concert I've seen. Now that COVID is some what under control, they will be out touring again (pending a new album ??)... I need to see them again for sure.... My head and ears hurt for a few days following this concert.... Get your tickets as soon as they come to your area or anywhere near your location.... Keep rocking my brother.... It's METALLICA.... Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidriddick82]

KILL EM ALL!! Dude you have to go to the start, the first album, the debut, JUST GO DO IT MAN

[@CoboProdz]

Their worst imo. Still good though

[@touchofgre4789]

I play it the least of their first four albums, but their worst is decades after KEA.

[@CoboProdz]

@@touchofgre4789 yeah. Same. I only consider their first 4. When I talk about Metallica nothing after justice exists

[@CoboProdz]

@Prozakhistan of the first 4? Easily it is

[@CoboProdz]

@Prozakhistan congrats on being the only person on earth with that opinion

[@traviskoehring5103]

Who's ready for him to listen to Seattle 89 in full?
