[@mydarksoulshines2964]

At my place everyone knows my rules. As far as music playing they know there are a handful of bands/artists that you DO NOT 1) Turn volume down 2) Pause or stop during a song. With the possible exception of someone dying before the song concludes. Of course Metallica is one of those bands. There would have been a physical altercation (!!WHACK!! "Watthfuc dude????) and banishment for either a period of time or until the end of time. There is some music that has become a part of you to the point it is almost a gut punch if a song is interrupted. And yes, I am one of those people that even after I arrive home or anywhere else I will sit in my car to finish listening to a song by certain bands/artists. I'll have it on my main streaming playlist, on my mp player, and even on cd and still wait till the end. It may be crazy, but if I couldn't listen music anymore for some reason I don't know how long I would last. Through the best times and worst times of your entire life the music has always been there for you. It needs to be treated with respect. And now I am done with my philosophical exposition. 🤪🤘

My best friend was a metal head and listened to Iron Maiden, Ozzy, etc and I was forced to listened to it because he had a car and I didn't. I hated it! One day he came to pick me up and he pulls out this cassette tape, looks at me and says to me "Wait til you hear this!" For the 1st time I gave it metal a honest listen. I was immediately transformed into a Metallica fan. Almost 35 years later im still a fan. Seeing you react to this vid was almost like re-living that day when a light bulb went off in my head.

That transition from rage to melodic back to rage. This song plays to the timeline of the progression of the drug addiction. The rage before the fix in the beginning, then the euphoric high and calmness in the bridge, just before the storm when the drug takes hole, and then the rage comes back to run your life again at the end of the song.... that was the genius behind this song.

Best comment indeed, for me it was 'Be all, end all' - but my life was not the same after hearing it in '88 (Germany), I entered one of the greatest subcultures, with lifelong friends, recruited my girlfriends and finally wife from there (and from goths, nice girls, just smelled weird), now 46 year long haired father of two, still drumming along. Not wanting to draw a parallel tho this 'thug life' stuff, if you found metal or if it finds you, but the thing is that every metalhead I know has his/her story to tell, you don't end up with us accidentally, it all makes sense, it is a huge therapy after all. I owe metal so much that I could never possibly pay back, so I kinda feel sorry for the guy in the video, Alex, you've been missing out... big time.

And I think that's what this guy and what most of today's kids don't grasp. I was onto Kill 'Em All when it came out (I was in high school so it was right in the teen boy sweet spot for that kind of music) but it was Ride the Lightning that was the real bomb. I couldn't play that album enough back in the day and everyone I knew was just blown away by the sound. Metallica, with that album, took over heavy metal music...and, like you said, they did it with no assistance whatsoever from traditional music mass media. Back in those days it was word of mouth and some late night, heavy metal show on the radio. No internet, no Limewire yet, very little airplay and only some spotty coverage on MTV. The groups that rose to the top, like Metallica, did so without a pushed media blitz/agenda like they do today. They played instruments. They sang without autotune. True musical talent on display done, oftentimes, without any expectation of vast fame and fortune that top 40 acts enjoyed. Actual musical talent. And if this guy liked what he heard on its own merits, imagine how much more impressed he'd be if he was aware of the environment that that album arose from.

[@saminahmed5054]

Nopez20 I grew up on Metallica and am a big fan. But explain what happened after the black album? They weren't the same their older albums are master pieces. Now they should just not make music anymore.

[@Reavix1]

Music and Musicians evolve/grow. Metallica made alot of good songs on both sides of The Black Album, they lost a dear friend and a brother in Cliff Burton, and it changed them to have Jason in their band, if you actually go and watch the movie somekind of monster, you'll see what Metallica is all about. Metallica made masterpieces like Unforgiven 2, Fuel , The Memory Remains, Hero of the day, The Unnamed feeling, all nightmare long and more. I didn't like Garage inc for a long time and refered to it as Garbage inc, but man i gotta say i really started appreciating some of the songs from that aswell, although they're cover songs, Whisky in the jar and Merciful fate are simply fantastic. my absolute favorite songs as in my top 10 would also feature songs like Master of puppets, Ride the lightning, Nothing else matters, Fade to black and seek and destroy, but it would sure as hell also feature The memory remains and fuel at the very least. And let's not forget the S&M Album, probably the most artistic and phenomenonal album ever made, if you don't like it you're a comunist bastard who hates America and the western world. =D
