Metallica did not need Stranger Things to keep their legacy alive, but it's exciting to know that their music has been exposed to a new generation of fans. I heard Master of Puppets when I was a teenager and I thought it was one of the heaviest songs I ever heard. Never thought it would go as mainstream as it did with ST. Rock on🤘

It’s so rare to find a band that has stayed together for 40 years and are still as successful as they are. There of been bands that had a good run for about 15 years and then broke up for five or six years and got back together, but I think they’re the only band that has just consistently kept going like they have on the level they are at. For good reason too. If you see them live, you will understand why their fan bases as loyal as we are.

I sincerely appreciate it when bands write and play some incredibly powerful, energetic or even brutal stuff, but are really just kind people. Kalmah is an example, they just want to go hunting and they still keep their day jobs cutting down trees and stuff (at least I think that's what they do lmao). It's the Axl Roses of the metal world that kinda bring stuff down once in a while. I think even Nergal from Behemoth is, in general, a nice guy, he's mainly angry at the backwardness of Poland I think. Doesn't really hold a grudge against anyone else.

That's so strange to me. I eventually discovered Metallica and GNR but I listen to black metal and it's not like I want to become a satanist or burn down churches. I just find the music to have more raw power and energy and even more "fun" than most popular metal... so it's strange to me to read that gangsta rap would actually affect you to go down a different path. Is there no way to disconnect the imagery with the music and just enjoy the genre for what it is? Or is gangsta rap really that convincing?

[@Talons13]

Wow bro, I have a similar story growing up, listening to gangsta rap, hanging out with people the same, bad neighborhoods. Met a dude around my age at that time that played guitar, I just happened to walk by him and he was playing the nice/flamenco guitar part in To Live Is To Die, and I told him, "teach me that, it's the most beautiful thing I ever heard, I have to know how to play it", he did and I started playing guitar that day and every day after that.

My Boys! We're from the same town, same age, grew up together (so to speak) I'm thrilled Stranger Things introduced the young crowd to their fantastic music ❤ they totally deserve the hype! I'm so happy to see them! I'm almost crying 😂 good job guys!

[@valerieannshort7109]

This video just made me smile so much! Love these guys. I had to play it a second time. “No. My son’s a drummer”…best line😅

...And Justice for All is my very first metal album, it was 1999 and I love to listen to it to this day😁, Back in the day I listen to this record and their other stuff on a daily basis, first 4 albums are truly legendary!, I am sure they will remain in my playlist forever 🤟.

[@james-sf5yc]

It truly warms my heart to see these guys (my chilhood heros and beyond) still making music, still relevent, still doing late night talk shows, still inspiring teenage kids to pick up the guitar still performing at the highest level still selling out arenas and stadiums world wide It all makes me think back to highschool, in gym class at certain times the teacher let us play music. One day i put on Justice for all album, most of the class hated it! To those who said this is garbage back in 1989 i say this HA !!!!!! Where are your favorites from highschool today !

Never been a fan but went to their HK concert a few years ago, knowing how popular they are. The music, lighting, mix was excellent. Wife is a classical music buff-even she appreciated it! Lots of local youngsters there-what a testament to their abilities, appeal.

Fan since 85. Seen them about 20 times. Amazing shows every time. Sound is great.

What do we have to do to have them play the Super Bowl?!?!?!?!?

[@vincegedeon6583]

They are too good for the Superbowl ⚡

[@destroyerofkooda123]

can’t remember but i think there’s a video of James saying why Metallica will never play at the Super bowl. not sure how long ago it was or if he still feels that way

I had the Partridge Family Christmas Album. My sister and I LOVE it and play it every time we're together doing Christmas activities!!

[@spenceroneil4747]

The fact they played a cover of their music for them to come out was sweet. Even better that it was really well played by the studio band

Cliff Burton would be proud

[@MrVikingsandra]

He should have more metal bands on the show! 🤘

[@Leonelandfam123]

I remember running across this band in 84 (I was 10), it blew my ears away! Evolution , that’s the best way to describe this band. They’ve evolved and as a result, they’re bigger than life!

[@LucasGomes-nl6tm]

Man, these guys are so jovial... It's amazing! They keep inspiring me in so many different ways, hell yeah!

[@valeriehawkins8702]

I love Metallica from the moment I first heard For Whom The Bell Tolls when it was first released a long long long time ago!!! The sound was so different from anything I ever heard before and it is absolutely still 🔥to this day!!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

First song I learned by ear all the way through, around 1988! Me and a drummer friend did that, Seek and Destroy and Fade to Black in jr. high

[@valeriehawkins8702]

@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Nice!!! Fade to Black is awesome!!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@valeriehawkins8702 We taped a embarrassing dorky cover on VHS and showed it in class as part of a history lesson. I don't have the hilarious scripted beginning wearing togas and talking about the Oracle of Delphi but it cut to a "dream sequence" of the future just so we could spam the class with our heavy metal, haha! Check it out...

I’m not a heavy metal girl, but “Enter Sandman” at VT games makes the hair on my arms stand up. It’s so freaking incredible. All that jumping and excitement picking up on the Richter Scale is insane!! Go Hokies!

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

That's the best part about metal. It's super energetic. I mean, to me, 80s glam/hard rock was the gateway. I just loved the costumes, the get-up, the imagery, the dueling guitars, and then bam, I became a metal fan through Metallica and (later, introducing me to the harder stuff) Children of Bodom. I also keep discovering music in the opposite end of the spectrum, super relaxing, quiet music :) Gotta keep the balance!

[@absatwell8163]

@@EmpyreanLightASMR For sure. I like most music, just have a hard time with really loud stuff in my old age. Grew up with a wide variety. Heavy metal, hard rap and twangy country are not on my list though. To each their own though! ✌️

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

@@absatwell8163 I hear you. Driving with loud music messed me up for years but it's also taken years to heal/diminish the ringing sounds (I forget the word now). I'm ok with twangy country haha. if the song is catchy and has a bit of effort put into the composition, I'll usually like it.

[@KtotheL]

Kirk Hammett so f****** under-rated man ! (Yes even today... don't think I forget you speaking out about Napster lars.)

[@HarvestrX]

The night I hear MoP on Stranger Things...GOLD! I was 13 in the Summer of 1986, a skater (skateboards) and discovered Metallica while skating half pipe at a friend's house. It is by far my fav. metal song EVER! Then it ends up in one of my fav. shows! That was a RAD moment, lol!
