FIRST TIME HEARING 'Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire' | GENUINE REACTION

[@johnlehtinen1918]

These guys were in early 20s writing masterpieces that are still relevant nearly 40 years later.

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Exactly

[@MarkusSsZ]

A lot of metal bands wrote their masterpieces in their early 20s too. Some even did when they were teenagers.

[@CoboProdz]

[@FinkleisEinhorn52]

They were 20 when this album came out So they prob started writing it when they were 19

[@bretttodd6470]

I was 14 when this album dropped and I still love it. We listened to this constantly as teens. Amazing that metallica was in their early 20s at the time.

[@tysoncampbell4607]

I was 13 and it changed my world

[@travisproffitt6298]

You can never go wrong with Metallica my dude. Wicked riffs, the smoothest transitions, crazy energy, and unbelievable musicianship. IMO…the best metal band of all time, easily and without question.🤘

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Very, very, agree great comment

[@zacbreeden1966]

I've always loved the transitions and the way it flips your mood and energy on a dime. Metallica and Megadeth both have off the chart musicianship and music craft. Too bad Mustaine couldn't keep it together enough for them to continue to create together.

[@John-tc5wp]

No need to apologise for listening too much Metallica, mate!! NEVER ENOUGH 'TALLICA!! They rule!!

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Yeah 🤘

[@michaelevans1578]

Mandatory Metallica! Still on my weekly play list since when I first heard them in highschool in 1985.

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

No doubt, METALLICA in the 80s was the gods of metal, his music was incredible and unique, the best of the best.

[@matokk7891]

Yep. Metallica was the only metal band in the 80s.

[@rzasam]

Ils le sont toujours. Qui a fait mieux que cette musique jusqu'à aujourd'hui ? 😅

[@rzasam]

​@@matokk7891only? LOL do you want a list of 25 now?

[@susanconstable2113]

Picture this- these guys were still in their teens writing some of the most iconic metal music ever created and they were so good that their music made it around the world during a time where there was NO social media or radio play. It was word of mouth back then especially for metal. We learned about bands like this from metal magazines then ozzy took them on tour and they fully exploded to the masses. Ozzy has been quoted as saying that they kicked ass every night and it was hard to follow them.

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Exellent comment

[@Brimstone-Gaming]

this was the first metallica song I ever heard in the 1990s. a roommate of mine had a boombox with a timer on, put in the cassette, and this song would crank out loud at 6 am waking everyone up.

Every time I listen to this album, I think "My God, this is the best album ever!" Then I'll listen to Master of Puppets and I'll think "This is the best album ever!" And thats the ways its been with me since the mid 80's.

[@RTJustice99]

Get out of my head!!

[@jochencooper2751]

Justice enters that chat

[@brutalrock927]

The same for me, then I listen Justice and I think "now, they're on absolute top".

[@brutalrock927]

I discovered Metallica with this album. 40 years later I've never forget how it smashed my brain !

[@themck]

I remember listening to when it came out. Someone got an advanced copy and there were 8 of us in a friends basement in Berkeley listening to it for the first time. We were mesmerized as it opened. It threw us off with the intro, then it goes into this all out thrasher. This song was a continuation of Kill "Em All, and then as the album proceeded we saw the growth of the band. Kill "Em All, Ride The Lightning & Master of Puppets.... every song is a banger.

[@Metal_Mary]

The harmonies between James n Kirk are Phenomenal!!! The down strokes by James Hetfield are OUTRAGEOUS! This is pure Fire!! 🔥 you gotta check out this live SOFI Stadium 3 months ago!! Insane!❤🎸🤘🤘

[@jochencooper2751]

Have you seen the metal hammer fest 85 performance?

[@Hoscitt]

The harmonies are just James, and there is hardly any downpicking in this song... but apart from that yeah 😁

[@stevencalderon9772]

This was the 1st song I ever heard by Metallica. I was NOT ready.. YET. I slowly grew to like & then love & then obsess over them. They became my favorite band of all time!! I was 15 years old when I first heard them. I just turned 50 & I'm still listening all the time bruv!!! Thanx for appreciating the best band of all time

[@lawman466]

It was my first as well! It blew my head off!! I was an instant fan!

[@stigpetersen9701]

Now you know why this band was groundbreaking in every respect when they emerged and very fast became THE most loved underground band ever before they went into eternal stardom reigning and dominating the World of Music 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘…..geniuses and the definition of LEGENDS 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@Coyotecyb]

this was my First Metallica song as well back in 1985 and it blew my mind.

[@gunguy5409]

My dad made my mother listen to this song and then turned it down a little right before the part kicks off and turned it up loud ASF and my mother screamed so loud she fell out of her chair lmfao. Best memory ever

[@pneuslavoie8120]

The song Ride the Lightning is a bagner!!🤘🤘

[@bobguy3475]

8th grade trip from Las Vegas to Washington DC and my metal head friend was rocking out to something. He gave me his headphones and said check this out. First Metallica song I ever heard and my jaw was on the floor of that airplane! Blew my friggin mind!

[@thundacracka77]

So cool to see someone having brand new experiences of songs I grew up with! Great as always, sir.

[@RTJustice99]

A great lead over a great guitar rhythm! Thats the classic metallica formula.

[@brutalrock927]

With Metallica, I always loved rythmic guitar when solo's playing. So cool !

[@Owlyross]

This was the first Metallica song I ever heard, aged 10 or 11 in the early 90s. And I knew I HAD TO hear more things that sounded like this. Never looked back

[@m4nu003]

I saw them 4th time. I'm 24 and i will continue this Band Trip. They are my life ^^

[@stephenhobbs4753]

Ride The Lightning was my introduction to Metallica back in 1984 when I was 16. We knew what was good...

[@PikeBishop1]

The look of disbelief on this cat is priceless every time.

[@cadleo]

This whole LP is fire and should be done in its entirety and then followed by Master of Puppets

[@dadish90]

This is my fav metallica 's album. I like even less popular tracks like "escape" or "trapped under ice". Master of puppets is easily everyone's fav at first, but then listening more and more other records, it can happen that your personal taste will drive you on another album

[@beatmet2355]

This song was my first exposure to Metallica and really metal, in general. My brother taped it off onto a cassette and told me to listen to it. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard. I bought Justice soon after and by the time of the Black Album, I had all their albums.

[@CALLAHAN19]

When James said WE ALL SHELL DIE, that gave me the goosebumps still till this day from the moment this album came out till this very day.. How long ago it came out? 38 yrs now...

[@keithfarrington6616]

Dont forget the best Metallica song is from this album. Its called The Call Of Ktulu.

[@dariiofernando]

My fav metallica 😎

[@chefnoah1048]

Loving it. I've said it before a dozen times but reactions really make me hear songs for the first time in decades!

[@westaussieatheist]

Totally agree 👍

I'm looking fwd to other bands but Metallica is ALWAYS awesome...!

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Great comment

[@toby7jolly]

The solo that directly follows the moment you thought that the solo was over...

[@gianwinters]

This is a revolutionary album, its crushes your head and shoots you in the heart and want some more. MOP is a refinement of that thematic format.

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

Woooooo Got my daily dose of Metallica. Great reaction great song thanks for that! 40 years and still getting my daily fix of Metallica! Later🤘🏻

That harmony in the middle 🤘❤

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

Bro I truly believe what you’re saying. I made a comment on the last Metallica video now I’m about to see the future of the channel 🤞🏻

[@MiraMesa2]

1st time I saw Metallica was June of 1984 the day after I graduated. I was 17 and had bought a compilation album with Metal Militia on it. The show was in downtown Frankfurt Germany so we ate at a fastfood place and walked to the show. Looked behind me and the guys we sat next to at the Wendy's were carrying guitar cases and went in the side door. They were the warm up band for Twisted Sister. Anyway, talked to them after the show and got their autographs on a Jump in the Fire poster. In the early days they were metal fans just like us.

[@jamieterrell289]

Imagine hearing this as a kid! In your neighbors house with no Parents around! Scared as SHYT! You just knew you were getting ready to do something you were gonna get an ass beating for later. Bro, 1980's scary Movies and scary guitars. LOL.

[@HanHendrix]

And this song Fight Fire With Fire is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chevymetal69z28]

Next is Ride the Lightning, with one of the best guitar solo's that kirk has ever done.

[@raptordk9608]

Imo it is THE best Metallica solo but would wanna hear yout fav too m8

[@nigelbuck3162]

Imagine what it was like for those of us who lived this. Brought this album home, no radio play no KZbin you just went to the record shop bought it and hoped you liked it. Ride The Lighting vs Master of Puppets is an impossible debate. You cannot chose

[@chaospoet]

I've only had the chance to see Metallica once. They played this. When I heard that intro start I screamed "YES!" So loud I blew out my voice. Not that anyone could hear me because Metallica is in the top 5 loudest bands I've ever heard. Like so loud your bones vibrate as if you are sitting in a massage chair.

[@ovaismalikvo]

The song still gets me pumped up the same exact way it did 35 years ago. 🤘🏽😏🤘🏽

[@geordinzee720]

Ha love this … I had to rewind that a opening a million times it blew me away and is still one of my favs to just giver

[@tylerderdin7691]

Back in my early teens in the late 80s I would throw on headphones and jam Kill, Lightning and Master and just rock out for hours until the early morning hours....this went on for years and stll does today on occasion 🤟🤟🤟

[@tolissis5702]

This song was the very first time that i have listened to Metallca.I liked it very much,so i bought the whole Album,,in 1986.The price was -today price= 4 Euros

[@wesbeuning1733]

Those parts of the guitar solos you dig are actually both guitarists soloing in unison in different modes of the same scale. I agree.

[@papawheelie1645]

One of my all time favorite Metallica songs!

[@TheJrl420]

Oh shit i dono how i missed this reaction. I love their beautiful acoustic intros that transition seemlessly into extremely heavy, thrashy riffs. Goddamn metallica is great

[@scottishguard]

Strong suggestion for your next Metallica reactions: Four Horsemen... and Fade to Black. You won't regret it, partner. I promise. But do the studio (album) versions for the best epicness.

[@pandaocldental]

he's reacted to fade to black already, but good suggestions, four horsemen is a great song

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Great song! Great reaction! Can't go wrong with any of the early Metallica! Looks like you have a plan for upcoming reactions, but like quite a few other people here I highly recommend doing some Pantera. Early stuff to start. "Cowboys From Hell" and "Walk" would be good jumping off points. Megadeth is badass too! Dave Mustaine was the original guitarist of Metallica until he got the boot and formed Megadeth. Anything off of their Rust in Peace album would be a good start for them. Keep rocking man!!

[@sotexsailor]

Saw them play this live way back in 1984!!

Just letting you know, we still want more Pink Floyd, the wall the whole album

[@clonexx]

I started playing guitar at about 12 years old (I’m 50 now) due to Metallica. All that was out was up to Master of Puppets. I learned every song off the 3 albums that were out, though it took time. I got decent and learned Justice when it came out, and the Black album also. Then I got married and had a kid, and just fell off playing. Eventually I had to sell all my gear for bills, and now I don’t even own a guitar or amp. I’ve picked up a guitar here and there, and it makes me weep that I’m, understandably, absolute shit now. It kills me that I used to be able to play this near flawlessly and now I couldn’t even get through the first 20 seconds, if I even had a guitar to try. I miss playing, terribly.

[@rikurodriguesneto6043]

they were all about 21 and 22 years old when they dropped this album in 84. Think about that! The mastery in which play their instruments at that age.

This whole album goes hard. I love it.

[@williamwebb9041]

Yeah, choosing between Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets is super tough, those are my 2 favorite Metallica albums, heck, just having one album ranked above the rest can be challenging because of how many 10/10 albums they've released

[@chrisp3330]

Ahh, the days - no internet, no mobile phones. Learned about the new albums coming out in mags - metal hammer, Kerrang, Raw etc… sometimes lucky enough to get a flexi disc stuck to them, I still have loads of them! A few years later than this album but, anyone here remember Krushers Cosmos on Raw Power, then Noisy Mothers? ‘I looked into a bullseyes eye and much to my surprise I saw a bullseye!’ 😂 Also, ‘Things worth going into your mummys purse and steeling those crinkly bits of paper for’ - then he told us of new releases. There was something far more exciting and special queuing for a new LP that you had no clue how it was gonna sound rather than waiting for a download date for something that’s already been leaked somewhere anyway. Not all progress is progress 😢

[@MiraMesa2]

The best thing about going to the shows is that Metallica would play songs off their up and coming next album so you would hear them first.

[@chaosxixiii]

Those intros = The calm before the storm. In the same vein I can't further suggest you the song "A fine day to die" by Bathory! Pure Fire.🔥

Hi Mollyboy, I´m a time traveler from 1976, here to suggest some guitar performances You can (and surely will) appreciate. The first is Steve vai - For the love of God (nothing to share with Metallica but extremely good guitar) The second is Yngwie Malmsteen (possibly from "fire and ice" album, but all of his tracks are worth) By the way, i´m just an italian boomer that loves music and likes Ur works, I saw my emotions in Yours. So thanks and hope U enjoy😎

[@stephanieclark9849]

*Fun Fact - Everyone sees the lightning strikes on the album but not everyone notices it forms the letter "M". I honestly don't even know if that was intentional but I pointed it out back in the day and realized nobody else I knew had seen it (or paid attention to it).* 🤘🤘🤘

The uncertainty you feel about what you like better: Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning... is the way you're going to feel about all four of their first ablums.
