Ep5 Metallica, ...And Justice For All, 1988, Reaction, Review and Riff Exploration.

Welcome to the fifth episode of 'The Monsters of Metal Podcast' In this episode we react, discuss and dive deep into Metallica's groundbreaking album '...And Justice for All' Released in 1988, this album marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, featuring James Hetfield's raw vocals, Lars Ulrich's thunderous drums, Kirk Hammett's blistering guitar solos, and Jason Newsted's commanding bass lines. '...And Justice for All' is a relentless barrage of thrash metal brilliance, with its politically charged lyrics and complex musical arrangements. We dissect and discuss each track, uncovering the album's themes of justice, corruption, and societal unrest, while exploring its enduring influence on the metal genre.

When Justice was released i dont recall it being criticised because of the production and lack of bass, i just remember it was being hailed as another progression in Metallica's sound and was an instant classic. Crunchier than a crunchie factory, i dont think it gets any better than Ajfa.

[@JBjopa8]

And justice for Jason sounds better to me but to be fair I am biased towards Jason's bass sound. I love AJFA but with powerful bass sound it is just a little bit better 🤘🏻😎

[@jochencooper2751]

@JBjopa8 yeah I've heard Justice for Jason and its awesome, just prefer the original how it is, totally unique.

[@jochencooper2751]

​@JBjopa8 have you seen the Newsted interview podcast by Dean Delray?

[@JBjopa8]

@@jochencooper2751 I totally respect that 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@JBjopa8]

@@jochencooper2751 I just checked it out on KZbin almost 2h hours Newsted interview I will definitely watch it later!! Thank you for that

[@MetaITurtle]

That's so cool how you have the justice tone 😎

[@mandown118]

Great episode!

[@scorpionking4012]

Great job on that , so many you tube channels and you guys are the best . I hope you get more views soon!!!!

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Thank you so much for that, we really appreciate it. More coming soon

[@scorpionking4012]

Will be cool if you guys do “72 seasons”

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

As a HUGE Metallica fan, no doubt we will eventually cover every studio album but it would be cool to cover a more recent album of theirs next. Thanks for the suggestion 😎

[@kbhrx]

i can listen to you two for whole day

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Thank you for the compliment, it's much appreciated and we're glad you are enjoying the episodes

[@beatmet2355]

I noticed the juxtaposition of the drum part and guitar parts in the Justice title track in the verses. While the guitar is going 🎵ba ba bahhh ba ba bahhh🎶, the drums are going 🎵bahhh ba ba bahhh ba ba🎶

[@deniznasif1824]

Awesome episode. I always enjoy hearing opinions on my favourite album of all time. I think it's time you tackled Vulgar Display of Power!!!!

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed hearing our opinions on the album and I'm sure many people have different takes. I personally love...AJFA. Thanks for the Pantera suggestion, we'll keep it mind when we come to do our first Pantera episode 😎 Cheers

[@timspencer7800]

@1:12:10 try ending that riff on E/C5 before the machine gun riff 🤙🤘🎸

[@brutalrock927]

My favorite Metallica album.

[@MrPeperoni79]

I'd love if they played And Justice For All live and I'd stay in the front row to the very end because I think the harmonies in the outro are one of the most epic sectionsin the history of metal. The outro sounds like justice!

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Hey! It's Martyn here, I have to say I totally agree with you on that one, that section on the Seattle '89 set when Doris is crumbling is burned into my memory ⚖️💵 Personally, I'd be happy with a set made up of all of the band's 8+ minutes songs. The more the better 😁

[@Huddle_House56]

Pantera released their last album in 1988 🤣 btw it’s John Marshall and he was also in Metal Church

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Metal Church! that's the one. I was kicking myself whilst editing this one saying ' why did you say Jim' 😂 must have had famous amp builders in my head that day. Thanks for watching.

[@pressman1788]

Back in the days when METALLICA would release albums that were front to back bangers! The funny part is that they would release these albums every two years. Now they have 6 years or more and the albums sound like they were slapped together in a few days. Just my opinion incase anyone is butt hurt.

[@detvarsomfankanske]

I don't understand why they don't spend more time on their sound. They have an unlimited amount of money almost and can spend years to get that perfect sound, but still sounds like shit.

[@Astral_Guitar]

Heard you guys mentioning Trivium. Where’s the Shogun vid? Fellow Trivium fan here!

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Hey, we had some issues when we uploaded it the first time, but it will 100% be getting released as soon as we can. Cheers

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Hey, just to let you know the Trivium episode is now back up

[@mikeg73]

what rig and set-up are you using to nail that AJFA guitar sound?

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

It is the Neural DSP Mesa Boogie plugin with a couple of custom IR's loaded in and lots and lots of tweaking. That along with the Snakebyte and HetSet pickups seem to get pretty close.

[@dragonslayerxxz2244]

Easily my favorite Metallica Albulm and it’s got my 2nd favorite song Dyers Eve. Also will you ever do an episode on Ascendancy by Trivium? as it’s easily one of the best metal albums ever made in my opinion

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

Hey, we actually have a 'Shogun' episode which should be reuploaded soon and after we finished that Matt and I discussed which Trivium album to do next and both agreed on 'Ascendency' as we both love it as much. So that will be in the very near future 😎

[@PikeBishop1]

Always thought Harvester was sort of a proto Sad But True.

[@ryantimmel6112]

harvey was the song that changed my life. I was like, WTF is this,?!!!

[@Astral_Guitar]

1:15:13 never heard the card story! I always heard they drew straws and Cliff won. Who knows! Not being an elitist about it lol I just hadn’t heard that one before.

[@keanandarnell8709]

I’ve always heard it was cards aswell

[@Christian-vq8rd]

Kirk said they drew cards to see who got the bunk. So it was a drawing, but of cards.

[@TheMonstersofMetalpod]

I read about it in one of the unofficial Metallica biographies a few years ago about the Ace of spades card but Kirk also mentions it on their 'VH1 behind the music' episode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKqQiWton750mNUsi=2dCpU5fwxBzALtfU Thanks to you all for taking the time to give the episode a watch 😎
